1Seventeenth century literarycircles had salons, the mod-ern-day hip-hop scene hasmeet and greets. At least thatwas the concept behind Bat-cave Studio’s industry net-working night at Sole Controlsneaker shop Friday, accord-ing to founder and partner BizPorter.

“Hip-hop is about together-ness,” he said. “The culture isin the community.” The eventcame at a time when Philadel-phia’s community is uniquelypositioned on the nationalstage, with homegrown artistMeek Mill’s “Dreamchasers 2”mixtape garnering 2.5 milliondownloads in 24 hours earlierthis month and heavyweightJay-Z coming to town lastweek to announce a locally-staged Labor Day festival.

“I think Philly is at a greatmoment,” said Shayna Sheriof “The Mogul Minute” radioshow. “People have beenwatching Philly. Now doorsare opening and people arepushing a little more.”

“That there is someone rep-resenting Philly on a nationallevel makes people even hun-grier — ‘I was beside MeekMill in videos, I can do that,’”said performer Sonjia “CoCo”Brown. “That’s great for us.Jay-Z coming here, that’s greatfor us. Artists are hungry,that’s why they’re here today.Let’s get together and supporteach other.”

“Now that Philly has thelight shining on us, we got to

take it advantage of it as acity,” said local legend Gillieda Kid, who hopes to be in-cluded on Jay-Z’s lineup buthasn’t yet gotten the call.

Long known as what Portercalls “king of opening acts,”what more does Philly’s hip-hop scene have to accomplishto take center stage? “We’ve al-ways been a musical city, butwe’ve always been lacking ex-ecutive power,” he said. “Tal-ent is just half the fight. Theother half is having someonewith executive power to con-nect the dots and get it out.”

Porter said Batcave is tryingto fill that void by bringingartists together, guiding themthrough the industry and facil-itating the exchange of ideas.“We need everybody to stepoff their pedestal and net-work. We need Comcast to dobusiness with us, we need tobe at the Kimmel Center. Untilcorporations and the mediaget on our side, it’s going toremain a hood thing.”

Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, theLibyan convicted of the 1988bombing of a PanAm flightover Lockerbie, died of canceryesterday at age 60, leavingmany questions on the attackand its aftermath unanswered.

Megrahi, who said he wasnot responsible for bringingthe jumbo jet down on theScottish town and killing 270people, was found guilty in2001 but was freed in 2009 andreturned to Libya because hehad terminal cancer and wasnot expected to live long.

Megrahi’s brother Mo-hammed told Reuters he haddied at his home in the Libyancapital from complicationsfrom prostate cancer and thefuneral would take place today.

“He was too sick to utteranything on his deathbed,” an-other brother, Abdulhakim,said. “Just because Abdul Bas-set is dead doesn’t mean the

past is now erased,” he said.“We will always tell the worldthat my brother was innocent.”

The decision by officials inScotland to return Megrahi toLibya angered relatives ofmany victims, 189 of whomwere American, and was criti-cized by Washington asMegrahi returned to a hero’swelcome from Muammar

Gaddafi.That he survived for nearly

three more years, outlivingGaddafi, who was overthrownlast year, caused discomfort inBritain. Prime Minister DavidCameron, visiting the UnitedStates yesterday, said Megrahishould never have been freed.

Scottish leader AlexSalmond said his death con-firmed his medical conditionhad been serious. “MrMegrahi’s death ends one chap-ter of the Lockerbie case, but itdoes not close the book,” hesaid, noting Scottish lawyerswere seeking other suspects.

Megrahi, the only personconvicted for the bombing,was found guilty under Scotslaw of secretly loading a suit-case bomb onto a plane at Mal-ta’s Luqa Airport, where hewas head of operations forLibyan Arab Airlines in Decem-ber 1988. REUTERS

“Oh, my homesick and ex-hausted lover! You still need towalk to reach your prettyhouse. This world full of dark-ness seeks your red blood’shue.”

Shakespeare? No, it’s Tal-iban member Abdul BasirEbrat. “The Taliban listen to po-ems everywhere,” says FelixKuehn, a German researcherwho lives in the Talibanstronghold of Kandahar.“They listen to it in their carsand on their phones. Evenpeople who’re not Taliban,and who may even havefought against the Taliban,

listen to Taliban poetry.”The Taliban publish their

poems on the Internet, too –in fact, their websites have en-tire sections dedicated to poet-ry. But when Kuehn and his re-search partner, Felix Strickvan Linschoten, arrived inKandahar several years ago,they noticed that while West-ern analysts poured throughevery sentence on the Tal-iban’s websites, they ignoredthe poetry. Now Kuehn andStrick van Linschoten havecollected the best poems inthe anthology “Poetry of theTaliban,” published in English

this month.Some of the poems are ro-

mantic: “Your love aside, whatelse is there? It is like ap-proaching the desert.” Someare religious, while expressdespair over life. Yet othersare true warrior poems. “Theysmash the foreheads of ourpeople without guilt. I swearthat I’ll bring earthquakes toyour home,” writes a fighternamed Nasrat.

Taliban have been writingpoems ever since their earliestdays in the 1980s. “They’dfight a battle and sit down andwrite a poem afterwards,” ex-

plains Kuehn. “In that way,they’re not different from sol-diers elsewhere.”

But a book with Taliban po-etry is not uncontroversial. “Itdoesn’t do anything but givethe oxygen of publicity to anextremist group [that] is theenemy of this country,”Britain’s former commanderin Afghanistan, Richard Kemp,told a British newspaper.

2Justin Bieber activated theequivalent of a rabid tweenagebat signal when he tweeted acryptic message over theweekend.

“Thank you for the time Ihad with you but I have tomove on now,” the pop starposted to his account. Thiscomes after rumors that whenvisiting the set of girlfriend Se-lena Gomez’s new movie,“Spring Breakers,” he fell forher nearly identical co-star,Vanessa Hudgens.

For her part, Gomez closedher Instagram account, thentook to Facebook with a photoof herself at a shooting rangewith the ominous caption, “Re-leased some stress today.”

Twitter, Instagram, Face-book: Are you following this?Forget that these two are fa-mous — it’s nearly impossible

for any teenager to get dumpedwith a little dignity these days.We never thought we’d say this,but long live the days of dial-upAOL in your parents’ diningroom.

Rough start toRihanna’s weekBieber isn’t the only one goingthrough a rough time on Twit-ter. After spending Saturdaynight out in London at Jay-Zand Kanye West’s “Watch theThrone” tour, Rihanna effec-tively live-tweeted her waythrough the four steps of ahangover on Sunday:

Denial: “U know life is greatwhen u wake up at 9 amDRUNK!!!!!”

Recognizing a problem: “So

ummm.... I’m supposed to beon a plane rt now!”

Hiding and welcoming death:“That’s probably housekeepingin my room right now but I’mjust gonna wait til they noticeI’m still in my bed and leave”

Making amends: “You will bevery disappointed to know lastnight was my final hurrah tilmy vacation! I ain’t about thislife”

We’ll say it again: We missthe romance of telling this toyour toilet in private.

Jackie Chan finallyout of energyWith his 100th film debuting atCannes, Jackie Chan is taking theopportunity to announce he’sthrough with action movies.“This will be my last actionmovie,” Chan told reporterswhile promoting “Chinese Zodi-ac,” his latest work. “I tell you, Iam not young anymore. I am re-ally, really tired.” But it’s not justage or fatigue influencing his de-cision. “I don’t just want to be an

action star, I want to be a true ac-tor,” he says. “I want to be anAsian Robert De Niro. I want toget rid of my image.”

Face to face andmade contactA run-in with a reporter inMoscow got a little too intimatefor Will Smith, who dodged akiss on the lips from the Ukrain-ian man, according to TMZ. Aftera hug and a peck on the cheek,the man went for more, causingSmith to reel back and exclaim,“Hey man, what the hell is yourproblem?” Smith then gave thereporter a shove and a backhand-ed slap across the face. Smithseemed to get over it quickly,though, joking about theincident with the next reporteron the carpet at the “Men inBlack 3” Russian premiere. “He

tried to kiss me on my mouth,”Smith said. “He’s lucky I didn’tsucker punch him.”

Missing Stahltouches baseWhile actor Nick Stahl’s where-abouts are still a mystery, the“Terminator 3: Rise of theMachines” star has reportedlyreached out to friends via e-mailto reassure them that he’s aliveand well, according to TMZ.Stahl’s e-mail didn’t address thecircumstances behind his disap-pearance, but it did say that he’llbe entering a treatment programand will be unreachable for 30days.

In the name of moneyThanks to an early investment inFacebook, Bono may now bethe “richest man in rock,”according to Nasdaq. Bono’s eq-uity firm, Elevation Partners,bought 2.3 percent of the socialnetwork in 2009 for $90 million,and after Friday’s initial publicoffering, that share is nowworth $1.5 billion. Paul McCart-ney is the previous “richest manin rock” title-holder, with an es-timated worth of $1.05 billion.Of course, Bono has to split histake among Elevation investors,so McCartney may have nothingto worry about.

‘House’ closes its doors

If you’re one of the dedicatedfew who have been faithfullyshowing up to your weekly“House” appointments, youknow it’s been amateur hourat Princeton-Plainsboro Teach-ing Hospital for the past cou-ple of episodes. But with Wil-son (Robert Sean Leonard) onhis death bed and Dr. House(Hugh Laurie) staring downprison, we’re bettingtonight’s finale (at 8 on Fox)will be packed with familiarfaces. Here’s who we expectto make an appearance — orat least send flowers.

Mark our words: LisaEdelstein has spent the pastthree months at Pilates forher final pencil-skirt close-up.She may be through with Dr.House, but she’s not throughwith bending over a too-lowdesk to sign off on charts.

Over the past eight seasons,Chase handed in his letter ofresignation more often thanHouse quit Vicodin. You canexpect Jesse Spencer and hissoap opera-hot Aussie accentto be back in a white coattonight.

Kal Penn’s character commit-ted suicide when the actorwent to work for Obama. Butbeing alive isn’t a prerequi-site for a cameo, and thesedays he only has “Harold &Kumar” commitments.

Amber’s (Anne Dudek)death and follow-up Househauntings didn’t really makesense the first time aroundin Season 5. But with Wilsondying, an appearance by hisex-wife’s ghost is in order.

Don’t fear

the reaper

Although the series’ finalepisode is titled “EverybodyDies” — a play on House’susual motto, “everybodylies” — it’s not necessarilythe terminally ill Wilsonwhose time is up tonight.

For a show that has neverplayed by the reaper’s rules,it seems unlikely that theonly consistently likablecharacter will flatline. Now,as for House? That’s a different story.

Overcomeyour need to fit in

The question: I feel like I’m nevermyself in social situations. It isalmost like I’m a chameleon and Ijust try to blend in with everyoneelse. I’m not sure exactly why I’mlike this. Can you help?

My guess is that you getanxious in social situ-ations because youfear how people

might respond. Perhaps you’reafraid of rejection or judgmentand you adapt by trying to belike others. Though it maymake sense on one level, you’remissing out on being you,while others miss out on seeingwho you truly are. Follow thisexercise taken from my book,

“BE FEARLESS: Change YourLife in 28 Days.”

1Before you can be yourselfyou must know who you

are. How would you describeyourself if someone asked? Beable to give such a descriptionwith ease and confidence.Make a list of your convic-tions, beliefs, passions, values

and strengths.

2Understand the role thathiding behind a mask plays

in your life. Are you shy, anxious or unsure? Do youfeel inadequate? Perhaps youdislike attention. If so, seekhelp to address any underly-ing issues.

3Practice expressing yourselfby writing out your

thoughts and feelings. Learnto express yourself clearly.

4Don’t care so much abouthow others perceive you,

as you’ll try to fulfill their ex-pectations, not your own.

5Do away with social com-parisons. They only move

you away from being who youtruly are.

6Practice opening up to peo-ple you trust.

Female executives still face barriers, someof their own makingA new study examining the ca-reer paths of female executivesworldwide is set for public con-sumption this week. “Womenin Business: Navigating CareerSuccess” is based on a scholarlystudy by U.K.-based AshridgeBusiness School researchersViki Holton and Fiona ElsaDent.

The results promise to beeye-opening for women andmen alike.

The analysis was culledfrom a detailed survey complet-ed by more than 1,400 womenin business management posi-tions, plus face-to-face inter-views with 20 femaleexecutives.

Surprisingly, the barriers toadvancement — and attitudestoward female leadership —

were extraordinarily similar.While policies vary wildly fromcountry to country, the level ofin-house discrimination en-dured by women seems to berelatively the same globally.

“There was very little differ-ence from any of the cultures:Sri Lanka, the Middle East,China and Europe,” says Dent.“They all have their particularapproach to women in busi-ness. There were differences inthe kinds of barriers they faced,but women didn’t seem to befaring any better or worse.”

They also discovered thatwoman unnecessarily disquali-fy themselves from advance-ment.

“The biggest hindrance toadvancement was the womanherself and her self-belief and

confidence,” says Dent. “Whena woman sees a promotion shemight go for, she’ll look at thekey skills and say, ‘I don’t haveall of these, I better developmyself more.’ Whereas, typical-ly, a man is more likely to lookat the job and go, ‘Yeah, I cando most of that. I’ll have a go.’”

er — all in one week,” saysCharlotte Reed, who attendedthe New York School of DogGrooming and later authored“The Miss Fido MannersComplete Book of DogEtiquette.”

Taking just one course froma reputable school can dissolvecommon misconceptions, help-ing students determine if thebusiness is truly for them.

“So many people think thatdog groomers get to play withdogs all day. That’s not it at all.It’s a timed commercialprocess,” Booth says.

But even in a down econo-my, new grooming businessescontinue to sprout up like afresh coat of fur.

“In the past, grooming wasmostly offered in veterinarianoffices with a few professionalgroomers,” explains Reed.“Since the ’90s, there’s beenan influx of doggie day care,home grooming and mobilegrooming — and there arestill plenty of dogs that needhaircuts every month in al-most any location.”

Now, pet grooming is an al-most completely unregulated,unlicensed industry. Groomingschools do not offer any officialindustry certification. However,formal instruction with profes-sional groomers provides anewbie with a leg up on about95 percent of the competition.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. There is noreason why you should yield tosomeone who wants you to loanhim or her something that you treas-ure. If you succumb to this person'spressure, you may be sorry.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. It might bedifficult for you to determine what isharassment on your part as opposedto simply aggressiveness. Know thedifference, because others most as-suredly will.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. Althoughyou might have to deal with some-one who previously made a bad im-pression on you, continue to be yourown sweet self. You might be sur-prised how nice he or she is today.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Someoneyou recently met and whom you likemight resent it if she or he feels thatyou're being possessive. There's no

The turning point in Jamesvan Riemsdyk’s season cameearly.

Like, really early. A hit he took in the presea-

son shook him up and set thetable for a frustrating seasonfull of injuries and time spentin the press box. He foughtthrough a hip injury, groinstrains, ab and oblique tears, aconcussion and a broken foot.

Even when he returnedfrom injuries, he wasn’t thesame. In the last week of theFlyers’ season, his still-recov-ering left foot took a painfulstep backward when it wasdrained of fluid due to an in-fection. He had trouble gettinghis foot in his skate.

“I did play through a lot of[the injuries] and it did makeme a less productive playerthan I wanted to be, but at theend of the day, I don’t havemuch control over that,” vanRiemsdyk said. “I played withthe cards I was given and dealtwith that. I want to gethealthy, learn my lessonsfrom this season and move onand go from there.”

The third-year player alsodealt with trade rumors. Notonly at the deadline, but evennow in the offseason, with hissalary cap slated to rise from$1.65 million to $4.25 millionthanks to a six-year extension.

But the Flyers aren’t per-petuating the rumors. Theystill think van Riemsdyk is akey part of their future. Theplayer who scored seven goalsin 11 games and was the bestplayer on the ice for much ofthe playoffs last season is whatthe Flyers see in a healthy vanRiemsdyk.

“James, if I was gradinghim, I’d give him a huge in-complete just based on in-juries,” GM Paul Holmgrensaid about this season. “I thinkJames is a good, young playerthat unfortunately for us wasnot a factor for the most partof the year because of injury.”

Those injuries have al-ready dictated what the sum-mer will be like for vanRiemsdyk: rehab, rehab andmore rehab.

“First and foremost I justwant to get myself to feelhealthy again,” he said.“That’s gonna be the key.”

Sixers fighting,making push forEastern finals

Stunning Game 4 comeback over Celtics has teambelieving Taking it ‘one at a time’ Game 5, todayThe Sixers are essentially be-ginning a best-of-three seriesagainst the Celtics. Win twoand you advance to the East-ern Conference finals.

“No one thought we’d behere,” forward Elton Brandsaid. “But here we are stillfighting. We’re going to give iteverything. We’ve got to keepit going.”

Brand was referring to thefinal stages of the truncated66-game lockout season, whenthe Sixers had to play their fi-nal games on the road. TheBucks slowly caught up withthe Sixers and made things in-teresting down the stretch.

From there, the Sixers siz-zled. They won four straighton the road. Meanwhile, theBucks fizzled. Then the Bullsstarted dropping with injuriesand the Sixers won in six.

Now, the team is catchingthe Celtics at the right time.Paul Pierce is nursing asprained MCL in his left knee.Ray Allen has a bone spur inhis ankle and doesn’t lookright.

The Sixers seized a victorywith a stirring, 18-point come-back in Friday’s 92-83 win inGame 4. They’re guaranteed atleast one more game inPhiladelphia with Game 6.

Looming beyond this seriesis the Eastern Conference fi-

nals against either Indiana orMiami. But that’s looking toofar ahead.

“We believe in ourselves,”guard Lou Williams said. “We

believe we can do it. We don’tlose faith. We keep comingand keep coming at you.”

“One at a time,” Brand said.“Cliche but so true, especiallywith us. We’ve been going oneat a time for a while now.”

Battle in Beantown: Sixers,Celtics get back to basics

Eastern Conference semifinals resume tonight Garnett needs to stepup for Boston Rebounds, rebounds, rebounds Three things to watch:

1BRING A TICKET. In orderfor the Celtics to moveon, they’ll need a ticket.

The Big Ticket. Kevin Garnettis the C’s most important play-er, and look no further thanthe last four games for proof.In the two games that theCeltics have won, Garnettcombined for 56 points (24-of-37), 24 boards, three blocks,three turnovers. In the twolosses, KG has tallied just 24points (10-of-24), 23 boards,four blocks, 11 turnovers.

2GLASS CLEANERS. What’sone barometer for suc-cess in this Celtics-Sixers

series? Rebounds. In each ofthe four games, the team thatwon the rebound battle endedup winning the game. A quick

breakdown: Game 1, Celtics45, Sixers 41. Game 2, Sixers47, Celtics 36. Game 3, Celtics44, Sixers 37. Game 4, Sixers52, Celtics 38. And the Sixersgrabbed 17 offensive reboundsin Game 4.

3GRAB MOMENTUM. The Celtics flopped in thesecond half Friday — and

yes, credit the Sixers for keep-ing their heads up and takingadvantage — and here we are,all tied up. It’s a three-gameseries, but if the Sixers caneke out another road win,they’ll head back home brim-ming with confidence. Andthey’ll have an opportunity toput Boston away on theirhome floor.

Andre Iguodala and Jrue Holiday can give the Sixers a 3-2series lead with a win tonight in Boston.

Pat Burrell was back in townthis past weekend.

One last curtain call for afan favorite.

The Phillies signed Burrellto a one-day contract and lethim retire in red pinstripes.He threw out the ceremonialfirst pitch before Saturday’sgame and the team flashed atribute video.

Yes, the stoic player knownfor his charm and charisma —on and off the field — startedcrying in front of the sold-outcrowd. Burrell was the firstoverall pick in the 1998 draft.

“It doesn’t seem that longago,” Burrell said of his daysin a Phillies uniform. “It was areally nice thing for the organ-ization to do.”

For Phillies fans, the last-ing image of Burrell is of himblasting that lead-off doublein the seventh inning in Game5 of the 2008 World Series. Hewas replaced for a pinch-run-ner, but the run turned out to

be the series-clinching one. “One thing people don’t re-

ally talk about is the fact thathe rubbed off on guys in a pos-itive way,” said Chase Utley.“He kept it loose, but hewould also speak his mindwhen he felt it was needed.”

The 35-year-old Burrell isserving as a scout for the SanFrancisco Giants after a footinjury ended his career. Bur-rell said he has no intention ofmaking a comeback.

“I enjoy it,” he said. “I’mnot sure where I’m going toend up with this whole thing,but as long as they still think Ican help, I’ll be there.”

Nationals-Phillies rivalryresumes in South PhillyDing, ding, ding. Round 2.

The Phillies welcome theWashington Nationals to Citi-zens Bank Park today for athree-game set. When last wesaw these two division rivals,Cole Hamels was doing hisbest to stoke a new rivalry.The ace left-hander plunkedrookie phenom Bryce Harperwith a fastball.

The incident garnered na-tional attention when Hamelsadmitted to doing it on pur-pose. Nationals GM Mike Riz-zo called the act “gutless” and

“classless.”Now, Mr. Harper comes to

Philadelphia. Bring your bat-teries.

“Hopefully, I get a coupleof boos,” Harper told re-porters yesterday. “Thatwould be awesome. I’m excit-ed to get in there and play andhopefully they won’t throwany batteries.”

As much as the Phillies tryto downplay the notion thatthere is any bad blood, it can’tbe ignored. Their skipper wasthe first to admit that.

“There will be some talk-ing. Fans, media, everybody,”Charlie Manuel said. “I'm surethe players know exactlywhat happened. They still re-member that. It wasn’t thatlong ago.”

And Hamels? Well, he getsthe start Wednesday night inthe series finale. Stay tuned.
