Foraging grows in Fairmount Park

Siller, right, and fellow wild foodies Sarah Gabriel, left, and Miriam Schussler-Fiorenzachowed down on one of several edible weeds they found in Fairmount Park yesterday.

Urban foraging is a growingtrend. And some scav-engers’ motivations, mademore pressing by the loom-ing debt crisis, may surpriseyou.

“I think there’s a particu-lar interest in the subjectbecause of the economy. Ithink people feel like thepolitical parties have not re-sponded to environmentalissues and to issues of sup-porting the local economy,”said Wild Foodies founderLynn Landes. “Some peopledo this out of a certainamount of frustration.”

At a Wild Foodies meet-up behind Fairmount Park’sJapanese House, foraging

expert David Siller extolledthe benefits of sourwood,clover and clearweed tomembers who sampled theedibles while discussingtheir reasons for attendingthe scavenger’s how-to.

“Fear of scarcity is verymuch so a motivation. Ithink there will be foodshortages — there are now,”said Jerry Simotus, an Up-per Darby retiree. “I haveabsolutely no faith in theway the government is han-dling its business."

But will knowing how tomake mead from sorrel andtea from honey locusts podsreally come in handy ifthere is a food supply-chain

meltdown?“There’s a deep security

if you know how to live innature,” said nurse HughBrenner, 57, who leads his

own nature walks. “A lot ofpeople come to these be-cause they think the gov-ernment is going to col-lapse and the grocery truck

will stop coming — andthat’s valid. But anythingthat gets you outside isgood.”

Siller simply wants peo-ple to dig Mother Nature.

“While there are somepeople who truly believethat they are acting in theirbest interest to preventthemselves from catastro-phes, every time they’re try-ing to tell me the world isgoing to s—, my personalopinion is not to act infear,” Siller said. “That is notdoing it because you trulybelieve it in your heart.”

Ramsey,Nutter to addressmob attacks

Police Commissioner Ram-sey and Mayor MichaelNutter are expected earlythis week to publicly ad-dress additional efforts tocombat mob attacks, a po-lice spokeswoman said.

Police patrols on Fridayand Saturday have alreadybeen stepped up sinceswarms of kids attacked by-standers last month, but itwas not enough to stem thetide of those who attacked

two men in separate inci-dents Friday in Center City.

Police made four arrestson two counts of aggravat-ed assault; one suspectwas only 11 years old.

FindingMotherNature Not everyone sharesthe same motivations,especially younger for-agers, who express adesire to reconnectwith nature.

“It’s something ourancestors knew andwe strayed awayfrom,” said homemak-er Tiffany Roberts.

And then there’sthe trend factor. Popu-lar restaurants buyand serve Siller’s veg-gies, and urban farm-ers markets peddlinglocal foods are invogue.

“I feel like a lot ofpeople will latch ontothe idea because it’spopular politically,”Siller said. METRO/AW

Elkins Park native Josh Fat-tal and fellow AmericanShane Bauer finally hadtheir day in an Iraniancourt, coincidentally onthe two-year anniversary oftheir imprisonment oncharges of espionage and il-legal entry.

No verdict was issuedyesterday in the highly sus-pect case against the men,jailed after their arrest July31, 2009, while hikingalong the Iraq-Iran border.Their attorney, MasoudShafii, told French press or-ganization AFP that Iranianlaw requires a ruling with-in a week of trial.

“The court session end-ed, the judge announcedthe end of proceedings, I

did a complete defense,Josh and Shane did so also,and I also defended Sarah.The court will issue its rul-ing in a week,” Shafii said,noting “reliance on God”for a fair verdict.

Shafii seemed confidentthe verdict would be a

good one for the youngAmericans when he talkedof the trial to AFP lastweek.

“I believe that they areinnocent. The espionagecharges have no relevance.Even if the court does notaccept my defense, thetwo years they’ve spent be-hind bars is punishmentenough,” Shafii said of theillegal entry charge.

After the hearing, heldat 2 a.m. EST, the familiesof Fattal and Bauer said,“We are pleased that to-day’s hearing was the finalsession in the case. Wepray that the Iranian au-thorities will show com-passion to Shane andJosh.” BRIAN X. McCRONE

Obama announcesdebt deal reached

President Barack Obama delivered the news last night that a debt compromise had finally been reached.

President Barack Obamasaid last night that leadersof both parties in the U.S.House and Senate had ap-proved an agreement toraise the nation’s debt ceil-ing and cut the federaldeficit.

“The leaders of both par-ties in both chambers havereached an agreement thatwill reduce the deficit andavoid default,” Obama saidat the White House.

Congressional leadersare sifting through the de-tails of the tentative bipar-tisan agreement to raisethe debt ceiling, preparingto sell the deal to skepticalRepublicans and Democ-

rats ahead of possible votestoday.

Senate Majority LeaderHarry Reid endorsed theemerging accord amongRepublican leaders and theObama administrationeven as negotiators wereworking out the final de-tails. Senate MinorityLeader Mitch McConnelltold senators last nightthat the U.S. will not de-fault on its obligations.

The framework wouldraise the $14.3 trillion debtceiling through 2012, cutspending by about $1 tril-lion and call for enactmentof a law shaving another$1.5 trillion from long-

term debt by 2021 — or in-stitute punishing reduc-tions across all govern-ment areas, includingMedicare and defense pro-

grams, according to con-gressional officials.

Across the Capitol,House Minority LeaderNancy Pelosi of Californiasaid she was reservingjudgment on the plan untilshe could see details anddiscuss them with fellowDemocrats, some of whomwere already voicing con-cern that the package callsfor steep spending cutswith no tax increases tohelp shrink the deficit.

“We all may not be ableto support it — or none ofus may be able to supportit,” she told reporters atthe Capitol.BLOOMBERG

Markets react

Equities rose while goldand the yen dropped earlytoday, with investors cut-ting safety trades afterWashington reached a lastminute deal to escape de-fault, though the top U.S.credit rating could still bedowngraded.

U.S. S&P 500 stock futuresbounced 1.4 percent and fu-

tures on U.S. Treasuries —which have maintainedtheir haven status despitebeing at the eye of the debtceiling impasse — slid.

Investors were still on guardthough since the plan,which is likely to come to avote in Congress today, maynot necessarily satisfy Standard & Poor's enoughto keep the U.S. triple-Adebt rating.

As demands for advancesin the fields of engineer-ing and science grow,women are increasinglyinterested in joining thosefields.

According to the Na-tional Science Foundation,the amount of women en-gaging in the fields of sci-ence, technology, engi-neering and mathematics,or STEM, has grown signif-icantly since the 1970s.Fewer than 78,000 womenwere enrolled as graduatestudents in science andengineering in 1977 —compared with nearly232,000 in 2008.

Still, men overwhelm-ingly dominate STEMfields. So what is prevent-

ing women from fully tak-ing the field by storm?

One theory is thatyoung girls have tradition-

ally been taught that mathand science are for boys,while they should focusmore on literature andwriting.

Many women in STEMprofessions say morewomen need to pursue ca-reers in these fields. Histo-ry is probably a good indi-cator that it’s just a matterof time. After all, it wasn’tlong ago that you wouldn’tsee a woman’s name on aballot for a major electionor listed as CEO of a For-tune 500 company.

It might not be long be-fore they become frontand center in the world ofmath and science, too.CASSANDRA GARRISON/EDUCATIONOPTION

Being one of the FoodNetwork’s biggeststars — and host ofthe popular game

show “Minute to Win It”— comes with its perks,but also its downfalls. ForGuy Fieri, it’s the hair-gelledcopycats who fool his le-gions of fans that really gethim upset.

“We get quite a few re-quests for autographs. Imean, every week I sign ahundred or so ... but [some]fans will send a picture andit’s them and an impostor,”Fieri told Metro at the At-lantic City Food and WineFestival over the weekend(apparently there was oneof these impostors at thefest). “And I’ll send it back,and I’ll send them a pic-ture, and I’ll autograph it

and say: ‘I’m very sorry,this isn’t me.’ And they’reheartbroken, because theseclowns stand there anddon’t say, ‘No, I’m notGuy.’”

Take note, fans: Nexttime you see a guy sportinga flame-embossed T-shirt, agoatee and sunglasses in-side, think twice beforesnapping a photo withhim. Instead of the famedFieri, it could just be some-one with really bad fashionsense. — Reporting by Meredith Engel

Angelina knowswho she isAngelina Jolie doesn’t loveacting as much as sheused to, she tells the Fi-nancial Times. “I thinkwhen I was younger, Ineeded it more. I was try-ing to question things inlife, so you find thesecharacters that help youfind things and grow,”she explains. “I’m older,and I know who I am.”And while she isn’t nec-essarily talking

retirement, Jolie says sheand Brad Pitt’s days inHollywood arenumbered. “As Brad and Iget older, we’re going todo fewer films,” she says.“We’ve had a nice run,and I don’t want to be do-ing this our whole lives.There are a lot of otherthings to do.”

He’s not a player ... reallyRumors of Ryan Reynolds’post-divorce dating lifehave been greatlyexaggerated, the actor in-sists. “Right now I seemto be on a speed-dating

mission — at least accord-ing to those rumors thatare going around,”Reynolds says, accordingto Hollyscoop. “Even mymom is confused. No manis potent enough to beable to go through asmany women as that insuch a short amount oftime like I allegedlyhave.” As for his actuallove life, Reynolds sayshe’s still getting over hissplit from Scarlett Johans-son: “I’m just giving my-self time to puteverything that has hap-pened behind me, andI’m taking things as theycome. But I’m going to beready for a relationship

again soon,” he says.

Aside from gettingthe chance to helpupdate a belovedfranchise, there was

one main draw about star-ring in “The Smurfs” forNeil Patrick Harris: It wasnothing like his over-the-top “How I Met Your Moth-er” character. “I spend sixand a half [or] sevenmonths a year playing thechewing-on-the-sceneryBarney Stinson, and so Ilook for a role that is differ-

ent than him in some wayduring my off-time,” hesays. And his character,Patrick Winslow, a father-to-be and put-upon market-ing exec whose New Yorkapartment becomes a hide-out for refugee Smurfs, isindeed nothing like Barney.

The character is also ap-parently a departure fromHarris himself, who admitshe wouldn’t be as welcom-ing as his onscreen personaif a gaggle of little blue peo-

ple were to invade hishome. “I’d probably tasethem and keep them in asmall box and quickly finda reality show or some wayto make a profit from it,travel around like theWarner Bros. cartoon withthe frog,” he says beforestopping to consider theseverity of his answer. “I’mGargamel, apparently.”

The notoriously sunnyactor strays to the darkerside of humor again when

pressed on what his Smurfname would be. “I’d beSnuff Smurf, and I’d end thesuffering of all the dyingSmurfs everywhere,” hesays, grinning, before think-ing better of himself. “Thatwas a dark answer,” he says.“Let’s say Magical Smurf be-cause I like magic.”

Just because Harris hasnow starred alongside thelegendary Smurfs doesn’tmean all his questions havebeen answered, though.

“Who’s shagging Smurfette,really? I want to knowwhat’s going on late atnight in Smurf Village,” hesays. “Does she get passedfrom Smurf to Smurf? Isshe a one-Smurf girl? Is Pa-pa involved? That doesn’tseem right at all. She couldswing the other way. Younever know.”

“I know, isn’t it crazy,”the 35-year-old rhetoricallygushes. Sia’s latest album,“We Are Born,” discussesthis mortal coil in passion-ate funk, soul and ballads.Not that she presumes to of-fer easy explanations, buther lyrics seem to possess acertain sagely grasp of lifebeyond the commercialschlep.

“We’re all created by ourenvironment when we’re

growing up,” she says. “Idon’t think I was born thisway, I think I was created.I’ve been tap dancing all mylife.” She pauses for a longmoment. Does she mean lit-erally or metaphorically?

“Literally, jazz tap danc-ing. Metaphorically, too, Iguess. I’m a terrible real tapdancer, but I’m a fantasticmetaphorical tap dancer.”

Sia was tapping alongquite nicely at the begin-ning of this millennium, liv-ing in London with theusual ups and downs. Thenher boyfriend’s death shookher so hard that she wrotethe beautiful, heart-stop-ping “Breathe Me,” which,when paired with the finaleof HBO’s series “Six Feet Un-der,” blew up her career.

“I’d be in a very differentplace had they not put thatsong in there. I’d probablybe a reiki master or a dogmasseuse,” she sighs. “Abeast was born.”

“My dream when I wasa kid was to have a placein every major city. That isnot my dream anymore.My dream is to decidewhere to have a place andthrow all my stuff there.

vision Critics Press tour onThursday, creator Alan Balladmitted it’s “great to takea really angelic baby andput scary music [in thescene].” Indeed.

The child, biological sonof Arlene’s dead serial-killerex, Rene (Michael Raymond-James), is now paired upwith an even more terrify-ing tyke — the creepy babydoll.

“I think I actually wrotethe script,” Ball says of theintroduction of the dirty,mangled plaything to theseries last season. “Hoyt[Jim Parrack] and Jessica[Deborah Ann Woll] cametogether after a season ofbeing apart, and theymoved in, and he said, ‘Youknow, let’s go to NewHampshire. I’ll become aminister and marry you,’and they hugged. And it justfelt like, OK,” Ball remi-nisces of the couple’s al-most-too-happy reunion.“So I said, ‘There should besomething weird, likemaybe let’s just put acreepy doll in.’ So the cam-era tilts down, and you see a

creepy doll. I had no ideawhere that was going to go.Then when we came backto work this season, I said,‘We’ve got to pick up thatdoll. We’ve got to figure outwhat’s going on with thatdoll.’ And, you know, thatdoll has found its way to thecreepy baby.”

‘True Blood’: What’s upwith the creepy babies?Vampires, faeries, shifters,werewolves and witches allpopulate Bon Temps thisseason on “True Blood.” Butthe character that’s freak-ing us out the most? Thecreepy baby terrorizingmomma Arlene (Carrie Pre-ston) and daddy-through-marriage, Terry (ToddLowe).

It’s the most dangerousgame you can play with ajob offer: Reject it. Bluff.Tell them to add a couplepounds to the paycheck ifthey want your services.

A select few profession-als, however — like sur-geons or oil companygeologists — can and are ex-pected to do just that. “Butthose are rare cases,” says AlLee, director of quantitativeanalysis at Payscale.com.

“The bulk of people willbe in a category wherethere’s a fair number of job-seekers out there that canalso do that job,” he contin-ues. “For them, the onlygood news is that, general-ly, companies like to hiretheir first choice. It’s psy-

chological.”If you’re lucky enough

to be that choice, you mightfeel inclined to push yourluck an inch further for agame of pay-grade poker.

You’ll need to know whatthe job would earn you else-where, Lee stresses.

But most importantly,you need to know how thecompany works, how ithires and what kind of fi-nances it has on hand.

“Some companies justhave a budget,” he cautions.“This is how much theyhave to pay, and they’ll hirethe best person they can getfor that money.”

Moneytalks

When they won’tnegotiate“You may not be able tonegotiate much if it’sjust the standard pack-age that they’reoffering,” Krannichsays. But that doesn’tmean you have to fold.

“Talk about advance-ment opportunities,”he encourages. “Arethey going to allow youto move into a higherposition?”

Alternately, see ifthey’ll move up yournext salary review, butkeep in mind thatthere are other factorsto consider. “Theimportant thing isn’tmoney,” he says. “It’sfinding a job you love.”

You landed the job, but not the paycheck you were hoping for When you can ask

for more, and when to back off

Don’t speak first

“Early in the interview, theemployer might start prob-ing you for salary expecta-tions,” notes Ron Krannich,author of “Dynamite SalaryNegotiations.”

Don’t fall for the bait, hewarns. “It’s like poker: Who-ever reveals his hand first isat a disadvantage. If theyask, deflect. Say ‘I’d like tolearn more about the posi-tion before we talk salary.’”

When you’re looking tostart your career, it’s easy toskip over temporary job list-ings. But before you setyour filter to only full-timepositions, consider the pos-sible benefits of temping.

“A lot of young peoplewant to get their dream jobright away, but it’s more ofa marathon than a sprint,”says Andy Teach, author of“From Graduation to Corpo-ration: The Practical Guideto Climbing the CorporateLadder One Rung at aTime.” “It’s something thateveryone should consider,especially in this economy.”

Here’s why you maywant to give temping achance.

It can lead to a long-term positionPlenty of employers treat

temp positions as an oppor-tunity to test-drive a poten-tial full-timer. But even ifthe project has a very limit-ed time-frame, you stillhave the chance to networkwith managers who mayhave openings. “Find a com-pany you really want to

work for. If it’s a great work-ing environment, it’s worthjust getting in there,” saysTeach. “You have to thinklong-term — you’ll be downthe hall from the peopleyou want to talk to.”

You’ll get an honestpreview of the jobThere’s nothing worse thanmaking it through threerounds of interviews only torealize that the manage-ment structure is worsethan the coffee. “When youinterview for a job, you nev-er really know what’s wait-ing for you,” says Teach.“Temping can give you apriceless insight.”

There’s no commitmentIf you settle for the wrongfull-time gig, you’ll have togive notice — and hopefully

The hiddenpotential of temping

Only considering full-time,long-term positions will severelylimit your job search How to makethe most of your temporary gig

not navigate a no-competecontract — if a better jobcomes along. The same isn’ttrue for temporary posi-tions. “If it doesn’t workout, you don’t have to wor-ry so much about loyalty,”says Teach.

Networking

It’s time to get LinkedIn.

Been ignoring thoseLinkedIn reminders to com-plete your profile since yousigned up two years ago?Log in and fill it out immedi-ately, advises Teach: “Em-ployers are looking at it —they’re really checking itnow. For some, it’s likeyou’re invisible if you’re noton LinkedIn.”

Most of the American peo-ple just do not understandthe amount of damage thecriminal ruling plutocracyhas done to the country inthe past 30 years. ARTHUR A. MASSUCCO, VIA E-MAIL

Atheists looklike fanaticsI am an atheist, and I amvery disappointed in the

group American Atheistsfor opposing theinclusion of a survivingsection of beams in a 9/11museum because thestructure has been associ-ated with a Christiancross. This remnant wasnot constructed to be a re-ligious symbol. In choos-ing this battle, the mem-bers of American Atheistsseem, ironically, morelike religious extremists.DAVID TERHUNE, VIA E-MAIL

More debate ontaxing the richAllowing lower taxes forthe rich makes sense onlyif the money that is not

taxed is used for theeconomy, to spur job cre-ation for U.S. citizens.However, money allowedby generous tax breaks tocorporations is not gener-ally used to keep Ameri-cans working. To the con-trary, this money is spentto create jobs elsewherein the world like China,Taiwan and India. HENRY T. GAUDSMITH, VIA E-MAIL

There seems to be muchconfusion about taxes,paying your fair shareand who should paymore. The people whopay the highest taxes getthe most benefit from atax reduction. Tax themtoo much, attack themfor being wealthy, andthey just may not showup anymore. In fact, theymight move overseas —where the atmosphere issomewhat friendlier. DAVID R. KAMERSCHEN, VIA E-MAIL

Never a doubt, Birdsalways best match

Asomugha had Philly listed as top destination sinceMarch Vick, Jackson started recruiting at last year’sPro Bowl Corner praises team’s ‘championship feel’

The recruiting began at thePro Bowl. By March, it was ano-brainer. The NFL’s No. 1free agent wanted to be-come a Philadelphia Eagle.

“To a man, and woman,everybody that was on myteam, they knew that theNo. 1 team was the Eaglesfrom March when we werelooking at teams,” NnamdiAsomugha said. “Therewere a handful of teams atthat point. When the Eaglesbecame a possibility, weknew it was a match.”

Asomugha said quarter-back Michael Vick did a“mini-recruiting pitch” atlast year’s Pro Bowl. DeSeanJackson kept it going withtexts and phone callsthroughout the offseason.

“When a team wantsyou, you can feel it,” Aso-mugha said.

The Eagles did want Aso-mugha, who signed a five-year, $60 million deal with$25 million guaranteed.While Asomugha can’tpractice until Thursday,when the league year be-gins, he showed up atLehigh yesterday and spokeglowingly of his new bosses.

“I think from top to bot-tom in the organization, it’sfirst-class, with the headcoach, president, GM, own-er, all the way down to theplayers,” he said. “It has achampionship feel to it.”

That’s a new feeling forthe 30-year-old cornerback.He’s never sniffed the post-season while playing inOakland for the past eightseasons. Asomugha said hewouldn’t even watch theNFL playoffs.

“It was depressing,” Aso-mugha said.

The Eagles have qualifiedfor the playoffs nine timesunder coach Andy Reid, butthey haven’t been able towin the big one. This year,with the bold additions ofAsomugha, Cullen Jenkins

and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Reid’s team

might want to book a fewrooms in Indianapolis.

“The No. 1 goal whenyou come into this league isto win the championship,”Asomugha said. “You hearevery team say it every year,you know, ‘We want to winthe Super Bowl, that’s ourgoal.’ It’s the only reasonyou play.”

Numbers game Asomugha has worn No.

21 for the duration of his

career. Since that already

belongs to nickel corner

Joselio Hanson, Asomugha

will wear No. 24. Proudly.

“I’m not going to come inhere and try and take overeverything,” Asomugha

said. “He’s been here, so itwas point blank: ‘Does itmean something to you?’and he said, ‘Yeah, it does.’That’s all I needed to hear.”

Some players offer moneyor gifts to keep their oldnumber. But Asomughasaid he won’t do that.

Obama propos es bigfuel standards hike

Automakers’ fleets must average 54.5 mpg by 2025 ‘Most importantstep’ to reduce foreign oil use: Obama Deal to lower US fuel consumptionSeveral major automakershave embraced the Oba-ma administration’s pro-posal to push the industryfurther away from once-dominant gas guzzlers tomore lean and efficientvehicles.

The proposal, which isthe result of months ofnegotiations between theObama administrationand automakers, wouldrequire the companies toreach an average fuel effi-ciency across their U.S.fleets of 54.5 miles pergallon by 2025.

“This agreement on fu-el standards representsthe single most importantstep we’ve ever taken as anation to reduce our de-pendence on foreign oil,”Obama said.
