As soon as Carli Lloyd stepped off the plane and into Philadelphia International Airport at 2am Wednesday morning, a group of cameras were waiting for her. The Delran, New Jersey. native helped propel Team USA to its first World Cup since 1999. And she did it in tremendous fashion, scoring a hat trick in the World Cup Final. Now that she’s home, Lloyd says she’ll spend a little time with family and friends before hitting the road yet again. By week’s end, she’ll be in New York City for a ticker tape parade, a national celebration to honor the women who have inspired so many.

Republican legislative leaders and Democratic Governor Tom Wolf have met twice in as many days to discuss the budget, producing no discernible progress as Pennsylvania begins its second week without a spending plan. After meeting with Governor Wolf for less than an hour Tuesday, Republican Jake Corman, the Senate majority leader, claimed the hold-up is the governor’s proposal to increase the sales and income taxes to support state spending. Wolf’s spokesman Jeff Sheridan says the GOP numbers just don’t work and blames the status of budget talks on that.

A Philadelphia-area woman is being honored at the White House Wednesday for her efforts to find a cure for a rare form of Cystic Fibrosis. At just 30-years-old, she’s already raised $1.5 million for research. Emily Kramer-Golinkoff, of Bala Cynwyd, founded Emily’s Entourage when she was just 26, but it has become the worldwide leader in raising funds and awareness for a particularly pernicious CF mutation. It gives her efforts an urgency that funders respond to and that struck the White House as embodying “the promise of the President’s Precision Medicine Initiative, which was launched earlier this year to encourage patients, researchers and providers to work together to develop individualized treatments.” It named her one of nine Champions of Change. You can learn more about Emily’s entourage at www.EmilysEntourage.org or at https://www.facebook.com/EmilysEntourage. You can also subscribe to her newsletter at http://bit.ly/EEInsider.
