A dirty world, but getting dirtier?Environmentalists say the country’s air and land quality will get worse if Congressslashes federal funding during a vote next month. Officials with the EnvironmentalProtection Agency agree that recently proposed budget cuts for the EPA and otherfederal agencies would undermine the very ability to “implement its core mission of protecting human health and the environment.” {page 04}

Full-court press forprivatizing liquor

Former PLCB chief says converting state-run sales has most support inyears Opportunity ripe with big cash needs, GOP in governor’s mansion

Auctioning off 1,250 retail liquor licenses would bring in anywhere from $25,000 to $1.25 million, depending on location.Gov. Corbett said the instant revenue of up to $2 billion could go toward a new annual fund for transportation needs.

Pennsylvania is seeingmovement in the push forprivatization — and it’snow or never, according tothe former chairman of thestate’s liquor control board.

“We have a governorthat supports privatiza-tion, a minority leaderleading the charge and apro-business Senate,” saidformer PLCB chairJonathan Newman, whonow owns booze chainNewman Wine & Spirits in10 other states. “We haveone opportunity for priva-tization to happen whereit’s failed under [formergovernors] Thornburghand Ridge and if it doesn’t

happen now, I don’t thinkit’s going to happen for atleast another generation.”

Newman was at theWine School in Fairmountyesterday with Rep. MikeTurzai, R-Allegheny, to an-nounce his support ofTurzai’s privatization bill.

“Jonathan is probablythe gold standard in termsof knowing how to bringquality products and serv-ices to the consumer whiledoing it in a responsiblemanner,” Turzai said. “No-body has a more detailedunderstanding, both frompublic and private sectorexperience.”

The House Liquor Con-

trol Committee will holdpublic hearings on the billin Harrisburg on Aug. 10and in Hershey on Aug. 11.

Turzai hopes to put thebill to a vote in early Sep-tember.

“It’s a monumentalchallenge, don’t get mewrong, but it’s also timelybecause of budgetary con-straints,” Newman said.“This is a resource wherethe state can generate rev-enue, lower taxes and in-crease the tax base bykeeping Pennsylvaniashoppers in Pennsylvaniainstead of turning them in-to bootleggers by forcingthem to go out of state tobuy liquor.”

Pa. vs. Utah

Utah is the only state otherthan Pennsylvania that hasa monopoly on retail andwholesale liquor sales.Here’s how we measure up:

Population:Pennsylvania: 12.6 millionUtah: 2.8 million

Number of state storesPennsylvania: 640 (60 in Philly alone)Utah: 44 (and 100 smaller“package” stores in ruralareas)

Total state revenue fromalcohol sales last yearPennsylvania: $1.9 billionUtah: more than $100 million

Womanfoundmurdered

Police discovered a woman’sbody early yesterday morn-ing on a Kensington street.

A white female, believeto be about 35 years old,was found at about 4:15a.m. lying near a vehicle

parked on the 3200 blockof H Street, just a fewblocks from the intersec-tion of Kensington and Al-legheny avenues.

The woman suffered se-vere head trauma, but it is

not yet known if she wasbeaten or shot. She waspronounced dead on thescene and detectives haveruled the death a murder.The investigation is ongo-ing. METRO/AW

Activists from the SierraClub, the Clean Air Coun-cil and Greenpeace didtheir part yesterday inprotest of a bill in Con-gress that would havebroad consequences forthe environment.

A group biked down theSchuylkill River path, end-ing their trip at U.S. Sen.Bob Casey Jr.’s Center Cityoffice. An appropriationsbill for federal agencieslike the EnvironmentalProtection Agency wouldcut funding by as much as18 percent.

“This is the largest at-tack on air, water, landand wildlife in decades,”

William Kramer of theSierra Club said. “Al-though polls show mostAmericans care about theenvironment and pollu-tion, the elected officialsare on the payroll of whowill pay their campaigncontributions.”

Wearing breathingmasks displaying “Broughtto you by Big Coal,” theycalled for Casey to opposethese federal budget provi-sions. The display was inreference to the proposedchanges to the Clean AirAct, which will restrict theEPA’s ability to enforcesafeguards on coal ash dis-posal or control carbonpollution.

Casey was not availablewhen the group arrived,and they were informedthat he was still “consider-ing” his options.

More offshore oil drilling Uranium mining in theGrand Canyon NationalWildlife Federation:Provisions have also beenincluded to allow miningon 1 million acres. “Thepolicy riders and extremecuts in this proposal mark aradical departure fromAmerica’s longstandingnational commitment toprotecting the air webreathe and the water wedrink.”More dumping of wasteand pesticides into water.EPA: “The Clean Water Actwill be weakened againstpesticides; the EPA will losemuch of [its] ability toregulate toxic substancewaste and ... control carbonpollution with court orders.Lowering regulations onmercury use

One year after launching amajor bail collection initia-tive, Philadelphia officialsnow say they are nearingthe $1 million mark.

The “Stand Up, Pay Up,”campaign was one of manyannounced last year tohelp the city recoup criti-cal funds. First Judicial Dis-trict officials hoped to col-lect as much as $1 billionthrough mailings, publish-ing the names of thosewho owe online and mak-ing public service an-nouncements. BetweenJanuary and June, the cityhas collected $873,000 —putting it on pace for $1.4million for the year, ac-

cording to Court Adminis-trator David Wasson.

Last year, court officials

estimated that the moneycould be owed by as manyas 200,000 people datingback 40 years for failing toappear in court.

The money collectedgoes the city’s generalfund. While $1 million rep-resents less than 1 percentof the city’s budget, Was-son said officials have no-ticed an overall improve-ment in bail payment sinceannouncing the effort.

The list is still beingpublished online, Wassonsaid, and the city remainsvigilant about going afterthose who fail to pay orotherwise make paymentarrangements.

Bail collection nears$1 million in 2011

Part of ongoing initiative at city courts to increase bail payments Still just a small fraction of epic amount owed over last 40 years

Debt planbecomesofficialWASHINGTON. The Unit-ed States stepped backfrom the brink ofdefault yesterday, butcongressional approvalof a last-gasp deficit-cutting plan failed todispel fears of a creditdowngrade and futurefeuds over taxes andspending.

Senate approval ona 74 to 26 vote of the$2.1 trillion deficit-re-duction plan droveaway the immediatespecter of a catastroph-ic U.S. debt default.

Broadband speeds on aver-age are within 80 percent ofwhat major Internet serviceproviders advertise — a bigimprovement from twoyears ago, according to agovernment study.

The Federal Communica-tions Commission studiedcable, DSL and fiber-to-the-home services at 13 top U.S.broadband providers.

The agency found Veri-

zon Communications Inc.’sfiber network was best atmeeting or exceeding ad-vertised maximum down-load speeds, while Cablevi-sion Systems Corp was theworst.

Overall, the numberswere a big boost from 2009,when data-indicated down-load speeds were oftenabout half of Internet serv-ice providers’ maximum ad-

vertised speeds.“Most major ISPs are pro-

viding service close to whatthey’re advertising. This rep-resents a significant im-provement over the findingsfrom two years ago when wefirst shined a light on this is-sue,” FCC Chairman JuliusGenachowski said.

During peak consumerusage hours when networksare busiest, actual down-

load speeds varied from 114percent to 54 percent of ad-vertised speed among thedifferent ISPs, the FCC said.

The report comes as theFCC is promoting its Nation-al Broadband Plan. It is ablueprint for expandingcoverage, making more air-waves available for mobileservices and upgrading In-ternet speeds up to 25 timesrecent averages. REUTERS

The U.S. Department ofHealth and Human Servic-es has issued new guide-lines ensuring thatwomen will receive birthcontrol and other preven-tive care for free.

Under the guidelines,new health insuranceplans will be required tocover women’s preventiveservices — including an-

nual visits to the gynecol-ogist, breast-feeding sup-port, sexually transmittedinfection counseling anddomestic violence screen-ing — without charging aco-payment, co-insuranceor deductible.

Additionally, the guide-lines state that contracep-tion and screening forgestational diabetes, hu-

man papillomavirus andHIV must be issued to pa-tients free of charge. DNAtesting for women 30 andover will also be coveredunder these new guide-lines.

NEW YORK. Major U.S.-spon-sored clinical trials onheart disease often turn toother countries to recruitpatients, and a new reportquestions whether that un-dermines the evidencethey generate and thehealth of the Americanclinical trial system.

Researchers found thatof 24 U.S. taxpayer-fundedclinical trials on heart dis-ease in the past decade, 19included patients from oth-er countries. Across 11 ofthose studies, internationalpatients accounted fornearly half of participants.

That high internationalinvolvement raises severalconcerns, according to Dr.Venu Menon and hiscolleagues at the ClevelandClinic in Ohio.

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

Does she know howto make an appear-ance or what?

Sandra Bullock, ahot 47, surprised photogra-phers and stars alike on thered carpet for the premiereof “The Change-Up” onMonday night. She showedup midway through thepress interviews to snuggleup to Ryan Reynolds, 34, herco-star in 2009’s “The Pro-posal.” Reynolds, who wasgiving interviews alongsideco-star Jason Bateman, brokefree from reporters to greether, per People magazine.The two exchanged a peckon the cheek and a hug.

Of course, having two

stars who have recentlybeen through divorces(while dodging rumors oftheir own shacking up)popping up together infront of a bazillion re-porters is all a ploy to gen-erate interest in the factthat “The Change-Up” isopening this Friday. Butstill! This makes me hopethat they’ll get married andraise Bullock’s baby andjust be adequate but unin-teresting actors togetheruntil end times. And is itjust me, or is anyone else in-trigued about “The Change-Up” now?

Damn you, marketinggeniuses!

Ryan Phillippe,baby daddy?Whether or not RyanPhillippe is the biologicalfather of ex-girlfriend Alex-is Knapp’s newborn daugh-ter is still up in the air, butthe baby’s last name seemsto suggest he is. On the ba-by’s birth certificate, herlast name is listed as“Phillippe Knapp,” accord-ing to People magazine,though the section listingthe girl’s father was leftblank. Phillippe has previ-

ously indicated he’s readyto take responsibility forthe girl should tests provehe is the father.

Sam Ronsonbusted for DUISamantha Ronson, LindsayLohan’s ex-girlfriend, wasreportedly arrested fordriving under theinfluence Monday morn-ing. The celebrity DJ washeading back to L.A. aftera gig in Las Vegas whenshe was stopped forspeeding at 10:30 a.m., ac-cording to TMZ. “She wasgiven a field sobriety testand didn't perform well,”

a source says.

DiCaprio is arich, rich manLeonardo DiCaprio hastopped the Forbesmagazine list of highest-paid actors, bringing in areported $77 million in2010. He did well on histwo big releases last year,“Inception” and “ShutterIsland,” earning an initialfee of around $15 millionper film plus shares ofeach movie’s profits. Com-ing in second is JohnnyDepp, who earned $50 mil-lion thanks to “Alice inWonderland” and “The

Tourist.” Adam Sandler ($40million), Will Smith ($36million) and Tom Hanks($35 million) round out thetop five.

Alba enjoysgetting oldJessica Alba says she’sthrilled about getting old-er, since her younger dayswere no picnic, she tellsHollyscoop. “I like who Iam now,” Alba says. “I hadso much bizarre inner tur-moil, weird stuff in myhead, questioning things,trying to find my way, nav-igate with acting and my-self as a person, a woman.”

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

Today, GwynethPaltrow is getting im-patient, Colin Hanks isstaying up late, KellyOsbourne is becom-ing a morning personand Conan O’Brien isfeeling hacked.

@GwynethPaltrowWho do I have tobang to get anadvance copy of thenew @coldplayalbum? I mean, really.

@colin_hanksIt goes without sayingthat if there is anykind of SNL retrospec-tive on tv I will watchit. Sleep will just haveto wait

@MissKellyOi have watched thesun come up for 6daysin a row i must admit ikinda like it!

@ConanOBrienJust in case, I startevery phone conversa-tion with, “You canhang up now, RupertMurdoch.”

The feed ...

What’s this all about? Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock got all googly-eyed a the premiere of “The Change-Up” on Monday. Are they in like or are they better actors than we give them credit for?

Talking points

J. Lo stillbelievesin love

Jennifer Lopez is openingup about her divorcefrom husband Marc Antho-ny and what led to theirbreakup. “This was thehardest decision I’ve everhad to face. I really want-ed this family to work,”

she tells Vanity Fair,adding that getting hercareer back on trackplayed a major role in thebreakdown of their rela-tionship. “We had thefirst three years of ourmarriage just for us. I

wasn’t working, it wasmainly about him. Thenwe got pregnant. Then itbecame about the kids.And then I started work-ing again,” she says. Still,Lopez hasn’t given up onfinding love again.

“Sometimes it doesn'twork, and that’s sad. But Iremain an eternaloptimist about love. I be-lieve in love."

The institution of mar-riage? Well, that’s a wholedifferent ball game.

“I had kind of gonethrough a really big, life-al-

tering event myself shortlybefore I agreed to do thismovie, which is that I got di-vorced after having beenmarried almost eightyears,” she explains. “I kindof drew on my own experi-ence of feeling lost and notknowing who I was. I re-member moving into myown place, then, after hav-ing lived with someone foreight years, and being like,‘Oh, I’m the only personwho has to like these plates.Just me. I don’t have tocompromise in any way.’ Itwas so weird. You’re so used

to sharing. And so you feel alittle lost when it’s just you,at first.”

After filming “A LittleHelp,” Fischer could at leastturn to “The Office” starSteve Carell for commisera-tion. “When I got done withthis movie, I went in towork after the summer, andI said, ‘Steve, I have a new-found respect for what youdo,’” she says.

Of course, this year willbe different, as Carellclocked out for the last timeon “The Office” toward theend of last season. And

while James Spader willjoin the show’s cast, exactlywho will be taking over forCarell as regional managerof Dunder-Mifflin is a mys-tery. But not to Fischer. “I’mnot allowed to say, but Iknow who the manager is,”she teases. “It’s a greatchoice. ... We’re kind of be-ing forced to shake thingsup, which is a nice thing.We won’t be repeating our-selves.”

Get your ‘Fix’“Get Fixed” is now availableat www.accordingtosherman.com. Ten percent ofproceeds benefit thePhiladelphia Animal WelfareSociety’s rescue and low-cost veterinary work.

Sherman understands athing or two about thegood life. He’s not afraid toclear an afternoon forfriends. He knows how todig in and enjoy a big meal.He doesn’t bother withthings as trivial as pants.

Of course, as a formershelter dog, he doesn’t takeany of it for granted. Now,he’s spreading the word inhis new book, “Get Fixed:Relationships According toSherman.”

“Sherman realizedthrough his days hangingout in Rittenhouse Squareand watching how peopleresponded to him that wehumans tend to overana-lyze our lives,” explains his

media rep, Timothy Law.“But he lives much moresimply.”

A series of 25 black-and-white portraits depictingthe now pampered pooch’slaid-back lifestyle, “GetFixed” is a playful re-minder to be generouswith affection and appre-ciative of head pats —skills Sherman believes weall have the potential tolearn, no matter our pasts.“He realized that everyonecan be rescued,” says Law.“And he knows that oncewe’re rescued, we can res-cue each other.”

‘Stayover’ relationships Study subjects: Committedyoung, unmarried couplesLocation of study: U.S.Results: MSNBC reports onestudy’s findings that “stayoverrelationships represent a gen-eral trend that young peoplewant to delay permanent rela-tionships because they want tofinish their education and pur-sue other goals.”Significance: The study con-cluded that there was no evi-dence “of any long-term con-sequences of stayoverrelationships.”

Chewing foodand obesityStudy subjects: 16 obeseyoung men and 16 young menof normal weight Location of study: China

Results: The International Busi-ness Times reports that a newstudy published in the Ameri-can Journal of ClinicalNutrition found that study par-ticipants “who chewed about2.5 times more than the typical15 times caused them to eatalmost 12 percent lesscalories.”Significance: This falls in linewith the theory that satietytakes time to have impact onthe brain and that eating slow-ly means people are less likelyto overeat.

ColoncleansingStudy subjects: Adults usingvarious colon-cleansingmethodsLocation of study: U.S.Results: ABC News reportsthat a Georgetown Universitystudy has found colon cleans-ing ineffective in treating dis-ease and concludes it mighteven have adverse sideeffects, particularly when us-ing hydrotherapy.Significance: Many doctors

advise that colon hydrothera-py is an invasive procedureand should be used with cau-tion. Undergoing coloncleansing or hydrotherapy isnot the same as undergoing acolonoscopy, a routine med-ical test for middle-agedadults.

New genelinked toasthmaStudy subjects: African-AmericansLocation of study: U.S.Results: Medical News Today reports: “Geneticists inthe U.S. have identified anew gene uniquely linked toasthma in African-Americans; a variant of thegene called PYHIN1 that isabsent in EuropeanAmericans.”Significance: The articlequoted the study results as“a significant advance in anational effort to locate thegenetic roots of asthma.”

The summer heat may beinspiring you to give yourstove a break — but couldyou give up cooked foodsfor good? Proponents of theraw food diet say you canand should.

The raw food diet com-prises unheated foods orfoods heated to no morethan 115 degrees. Advo-cates of the diet claim thatit wards away cancer, dia-betes and other healthproblems, because power-ful enzymes that aid inhealth are not destroyedthrough cooking.

“There’s no question inmy mind that this is theway man was meant to eat,”says Brian Clement, Ph.D.,the co-director of Hip-pocrates Health Institute,which incorporates a rawfood diet to support thehealing of its patients. “It’s

not magic, it’s chemistrywe’re talking about.”

But not everyone is tout-ing the diet’s benefits.

“Scientifically, there isn’ta lot of evidence that sup-ports the benefits of a rawfood diet above and beyondwhat a healthy vegan orvegetation diet would of-fer,” says Monika Saigal, aregistered dietitian. “Thereare some nutrients that areactually more availablewhen foods are cooked.”

Saigal also says that go-ing on the diet takes work.

“I think for the majority

of the population, it’s verydifficult to meet your nutri-tional needs on a raw foodsdiet. It takes a lot of timeand preparation to makesure you’re getting the nu-trients you need,” she says.

If you think the diet isright for you, Clement firstrecommends reducing your

intake of meat and dairy,and then going totally rawon a gradual basis.

“You don’t have to takethis lock, stock and barrel,”he says. “Take your time,and it’s so easy to do.”

Is going rawright for you?

Atheism is nota religionRE: “ATHEISTS LACK CONSISTENCY”: Not all athe-ists object to the cross atthe Ground Zero museum.More importantly, though,the allegation that atheistsare completely silentwhile “mandatory Koranreading” is going on inschools is misleading. Iwas able to find just onestory after some quickGoogling, in which theUniversity of North Caroli-na at Chapel Hill assigneda book describing the ear-liest 35 suras.

Vince Young called the Ea-gles the Dream Team. So,fittingly, they needed toadd a fifth Pro-Bowl player.

The Eagles signed freeagent Ronnie Brown yes-terday to a one-year dealworth a reported $1 mil-lion. The 29-year-old fillsan immediate need as thebackup tailback, behindstarter LeSean McCoy. Insix seasons in Miami,Brown rushed for 4,815yards, third all-time in Dol-phins history.

“Ronnie is an all-aroundrunning back with a versa-tile skill set,” said EaglesGM Howie Roseman. “Hecan run the ball, catch it

and does very well in passprotection. We think he’llbe a tremendous comple-ment to LeSean and theother young backs on thisteam that we really like.”

Brown is scheduled toarrive at Lehigh today. As-suming he passes a physi-cal, he’ll take the practicefield either this afternoonor tomorrow morning. TheEagles have now signed ortraded for five Pro Bowlplayers — Brown, Young,Jason Babin, DominiqueRodgers-Cromartie andNnamdi Asomugha.

Surprise, surprise:Eagles scoop upanother big name

Brown reportedly took less money to sign with the Eagles.

MaclinreportsEagles receiver JeremyMaclin reported to Lehighyesterday after missingthe first five days due toan undisclosed illness.

Maclin, 23, has 125catches for 1,726 yardsand 14 touchdowns in twoseasons with the Birds.The team enjoyed an off-day yesterday, but will re-turn to the practice fieldtoday. There still haven’tbeen any DeSean Jacksonsightings at camp. METRO

When asked to clarifywho the all-hype teamwas, Ryan said, “I don’tknow,” and left.

How he fits

Brown was known as atriggerman for Miami’sWildcat offense and is an excellent receiver.

InsuranceBackups haven’t seen muchaction. Last year, JeromeHarrison averaged aboutseven snaps a game. IfMcCoy goes down, how-ever, he’s instant starter. Wildcat specialistBrown’s defining role inMiami. Imagine a spreadformation with him, Youngand Vick. You don’t thinkAndy Reid is drooling?

According to police, Walkerattempted to eat marijuana. Seriously? Yes. The arresting officerssaid

Walker had about10 grams of dopeon him, along withsome prescriptiondrugs and eight bottles of liquidsteroids. There wasno detailed descrip-tion of whathappened whenWalker tried to devour the buds.

But wouldn’tyou love to see a time lapse video of thenext few hours of Walker in a jail cell,just in case he got high. That sounds likesomething straight out of, “Super Troop-ers II,” which is due out later this year.

Walker, for the record, was selectedfour spots ahead of Kobe Bryant in the1996 NBA draft.

Twitter is dangerousWe recently alerted you to the bud-

ding romance of tennis star Caroline Woz-niacki and golfer Rory McIlroy. Well,there’s been a development — sort of.

The two have been joking pretty pub-licly on Twitter. She asks if he needs atennis coach; he “might know someone”

who could help — and I found that oddsince ... if they were really dating, whynot text or call one another, instead ofputting it out there for the thousands ofpeople who follow them via socialmedia? (She has 165,000 followers; hehas 563,000.)

But here’s where it gets interesting.Some joker noticed the back and forthand decided to include McIlroy’s ex-girl-friend (also on Twitter, of course) in theconversation, saying she wouldn’t behappy with the flirting.

Her response? “Bit late for that ...”.

Ain’t no party like anSEC party ’cause ...

The Princeton Review put out its annual list of the nation’s “Top 20 PartySchools.” While I haven’t picked up acopy of the magazine to break down thecriteria, a few things stand out (get outyour pad and pen, high schoolers):

SEC rules. Not only are they superior atfootball, but five of the top 20 partyschools in the country are in the South-eastern Conference (Georgia 2, Ole Miss3, Florida 9, LSU 13, South Carolina 20).

What does the Princeton Review haveagainst the West Coast? Other than UC-Santa Barbara and Arizona State, it’s as ifthey don’t party west of the Mississippi.

And no love for the Northeast? Only Syracuse (12) and Vermont (19)made the list. And I’m not countingPenn State as the Northeast, since it’scloser to Pittsburgh than Philly.

Woods enjoys practiceround, feeling no painTiger Woods is still search-ing for a full-time caddie.But the good news is thatWoods is finally pain-free.

“I don’t feel a thing. [Myleft leg] feels solid, it feelsstable, no pain,” Woods toldreporters yesterday.

Woods will return to golfthis week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, hisfirst event in three months.Woods said he felt good dur-ing nine practice holes.

“I still haven’t been in acompetitive environment

yet, so that’s a totally differ-ent atmosphere,” he said.

Woods fired longtimecaddie Steve Williams lastweek. For this week’s tour-nament, he is using child-hood friend Bryon Bell.Woods has no timetable for

naming a permanent re-placement.

“I’m trying to play thisweek with [Bryon], andhopefully next week aswell, and maybe get myselfin the [FedEx Cup] playoffs,”Woods said. REUTERS/METRO

Woods has replaced his beard with a manly goatee.

In just a season and a half,Danny Mwanga has seenvirtually everything.

Now he simply wants tosee consistency.

Since the PhiladelphiaUnion selected Mwanga asthe No. 1 overall pick —out of Oregon State — atthe 2010 MLS SuperDraft,the forward has watchedthe franchise evolve. Butnow, after some tough loss-es and numerous rosterchanges, the club is clearlyon the way up.

The Union (8-5-7) entertonight’s match at Chicago

in second place in the East-ern Conference standings,three points behind theColumbus Crew. The Fireown the league’s worsthome record, at 1-2-6, andare winless in their eightstraight matches there.

Philadelphia dropped a2-1 decision to the defend-ing MLS Cup championColorado Rapids last Fri-day. It was the first home

loss for the Union so farthis season.

“It was a little frustrat-ing losing at home, andwe’ve been through ourups and downs since Icame here,” Mwanga said.“We know we have tocome out strong againstChicago. I think we’re aconfident club. It’s prettydifferent than last season. Ithink we know we havethe talent to win on a dailybasis. We have to go out onthe field and execute.”

Mwanga is second onthe Union with five goals,

one behind Carlos Ruiz. Af-ter last Friday’s loss, man-ager Peter Nowak revealedthat Ruiz has been tradedto an undisclosed club. Theexact details are still beingworked out.

“Goals will come to us,”Mwanga said. “We are atalented club. We haveshown that at times. Weneed to find the consistentefforts every night. Wehave to keep working at itevery day.”

Former No. 1 overall pick taking over leadership role Club’s leadinggoal-scorer with Ruiz gone Looking to rebound from last week’s loss

Mwanga knows Unionhave talent to win daily

Mwanga will be relied upon to be Philly’s key goal scorer.

you could say it was a unionmade in shelter heaven.Their stuff — her painted

“We both have a lot of af-fordable, re purposed, foundobjects. So it’s either some-one else’s memories or ourown,” Guerra says of pieceslike a workbench once usedby Volchko’s grandfather

that they turned into a cof-fee table. Her own memo-ries surface in the hyper-col-orful items from her travels:Bed throws from London’sBrick Lane and Tunisia or anold department store signfrom Montreal. “You don’thave to spend a ton to deco-rate,” she says.
