Tea and sympathy

A 24-year-old man was sentenced to eight years in prison Thursday after he was found guilty of breaking into a dozen apartments in Chinatown. Ken Harden-Smith let himself into units that either had unlocked doors, or used an ATM card to open doors. He admitted to selecting the victims in Chinatown because of his strong dislike for Chinese people.

Facebook ban

A Jewish school warned its students against Facebook, saying it is not “modest” enough. Teenagers from Beis Rivkah High School in Crown Heights were ordered to delete their accounts last week and 33 were fined $100 for not doing so.

The school also required all students to sign a contract pledging not to be on the site. METRO/AB

NYPD sued for patrols in apt. buildings The New York Civil Liberties Union, along with a dozen tenants, sued the NYPD Wednesday for patrolling inside apartment buildings, saying residents are routinely stopped while simply going to check their mail.

Nearly every day police “unlawfully” stop and ques-

tion residents of apartment buildings enrolled in a program called Operation Clean Halls, according to the lawsuit.

“Taking out the garbage, checking the mail or, yes, even going out for a pack of Skittles, can result in you being thrown against the wall

for police questioning,” said Donna Lieberman, the NYCLU’s executive director.

The lawsuit comes as national attention is focused on the racially charged case of an unarmed black Florida teenager shot dead by a neighborhood watch volunteer.

Trayvon Martin, 17, was killed

as he returned from a convenience store carrying a bag of Skittles candy and a can of iced tea.

Operation Clean Halls is meant to protect residents of buildings in high-crime areas and is aimed at targeting illegal activity, including drugs and trespassing. REUTERS

Gristina

Post shoots down talk of Gristina link NEW YORK. A New York Post spokesperson denied a report linking a topranking editor to “Millionaire Madam” Anna Gristina. A story in The Observer alleged that editor Col Allan was mentioned in audio transcripts while investigators ran surveillance on Gristina, accused of running a prostitution ring. “This story is outrageous,” Allan said in a statement. “I have never met Anna Gristina, I have no relationship with her and I have no relationship with her business.” METRO/AB

Food drive this weekend

Both city and state warn the drug must stop being sold immediately Fake pot hawked out of corner stores citywide Looks like marijuana, but has caused seizures, blackouts and even death Push for federal ban GETTY IMAGES

Both the New York City and New York state health departments banned the sale of synthetic marijuana Thursday.

The city Health Department issued an order, effective immediately, to get the drug off shelves and warned that all sales and distribution must “cease immediately.”

“Because they are sold in stores, people may believe they are safe,” said city Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley, referring to the small packets of the drug. “We are ... telling everyone in New York City to never use them.”

Synthetic marijuana, which is manufactured by chemists in underground labs, is commonly sold as incense or potpourri.

The drug looks similar to pot and is smoked the same way. It can be found on corner stores and in smoke shops citywide, sold under brand names such as “Mr. Nice Guy,” “Spice,” “Galaxy Gold,” and “K2.”

Synthetic pot goes by names like “Spice” and “Galaxy Gold.”

The drug has been available in New York City for about three years now. But, while growing in popularity, fake pot has been linked to in-

creased heart rate, seizures, loss of consciousness and even death. One Staten Island mother told the New York Daily News her 29-year-old son

wound up in a psychiatric hospital after he became addicted to the drug.

That’s because synthetic marijuana is not pot, explain health experts.

“Synthetic cannabinoids are made in a lab that have one effect in common with marijuana but potentially many other different effects,” said Dr. Robert Hoffman, director of the city’s Poison Control Center. “They are sold as herbal products, giving users a perception of safety. But, in fact, they are toxic drugs sprayed on plant leaves.”

Anyone caught hawking the drug will be subject to fines. There is currently statewide legislation pending in Albany that would make selling it a criminal offense.

That proposal, however, has yet to become law.

Calls up to poison centers

Source: NYC Department of Health

Calls about health effects from the use of synthetic marijuana to New York City’s Poison Control Center have increased in recent years: 4 calls were made about the drug in 2010.

71 calls were made in 2011.

In some cases, symptoms have been minor, including shortness of breath, dizziness and vomiting.

But other calls have been much more frightening, where callers report high blood pressure, hallucinations and seizures.

Federal crackdown sought

Too risky to be sold in New York

There is an existing federal ban on five of the chemicals used to make synthetic pot, but critics say the law lacks teeth, and, either way, is set to expire in six months. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer backs new legislation that would ban fake pot nationwide. METRO/CB

Synthetic pot is only the latest thing to be banned in New York state. The state Senate voted to ban herbal drug salvia in May of last year; and boozy Four Loko “energy drink” removed the high amounts of caffeine from its product after widespread criticism.

Wall Street banker tries to get stabbing case tossed in court Cabbie: Morgan Stanley exec stabbed me, yelled slurs Banker says he thought he was being abducted A top banker at Morgan Stanley accused of stabbing a New York cab driver over a fare asked a Connecticut judge to dismiss the case Wednesday in a Stamford court.

A lawyer for the banker, William Bryan Jennings, said the cabbie contradicted himself in statements to the police.

Jennings, 45, is accused of attacking the driver, Mohamed Ammar, on Dec. 22 with a 2.5inch blade and using racial slurs after a 40-mile ride from New York to the banker’s home in Darien, Conn.

Ammar, 44, a native of

Egypt and a U.S. citizen, said Jennings called him an expletive and said, “I’m going to kill you. You should go back to your country,” according to the police report.

Jennings said Ammar told police the night of the incident that it occurred in or near the driveway of Jennings’s $3.4 million home, and that he drove away with Jennings in the car and was then able to dial 911, according to the filing. A week later, the driver said the stabbing happened after he had driven off to find police and that they

were on Route 1 in Darien, according to Jennings’s filing.

“These locations are at least a mile apart,” according to the filing.

Jennings faces assault and hate-crime charges, which each bring a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

He’s also charged with not paying the fare. He pleaded not guilty on March 9, saying he never threatened to kill Ammar or told him to go back to his country. He has been put on leave from Morgan Stanley. A pre-trial hearing is set for April 12. BLOOMBERG

A high-ranking Morgan Stanley banker accused of stabbing a cabbie in a fight over a fare has been put on leave from the firm.

Dispute began over taxi fare Jennings flagged Ammar down in front of Ink48, a hotel on Manhattan’s West Side, sometime before 11 p.m. after the banker said his car service didn’t appear, according to the police report.

The taxi driver told police he and Jennings had agreed on a $204 price for the lengthy trip. He also said that

before they left for Connecticut, he showed Jennings the NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission’s rate book listing the fare at $204.

The banker said he didn’t discuss the fare and he assumed the cost would be $125 to $150, which is what Morgan Stanley’s car service charged, according to police.

He had never taken a yellow cab home before, he said.

After demanding $294 Ammar “unlawfully

restrained” Jennings by driving away with him in the car, to the point the banker feared he was being taken back to New York City, he claims.

Jennings said he never stabbed Ammar, and that the cabbie cut his hand while trying to grab his pen knife.

Jennings said he showed the knife to Ammar after he feared he was being kidnapped, and that Ammar grabbed it and then claimed he was cut. BLOOMBERG

Obamacare: What’s the deal?

Metropolitik

ing everyone buy broccoli.

But that’s really stupid, right?

Depends on whether you ask liberals or conservatives. Some on the left point out that government already forces citizens to buy all sorts of things, like military weaponry, highways and programs like Medicare and Social Security.

And that broccoli is completely different from health insurance, since Congress can, under the necessary and proper clause, force citizens to engage in commerce in order to fix a national hazard. The right sees any such mandate as an overreach of federal powers.

Much of the right-wing celebration this week revolved around harsh questions the court’s conservative justices aimed at the government over the law’s individual mandate, which forces most people to buy insurance. These justices, who outnumber the more liberal judges 5 to 4 and therefore have the power to squash the law on their own, strongly questioned whether the government’s ability to force compulsory coverage would have a “limiting principle.”

BRAYDEN SIMMS POLITICAL WORLDLINESS FOR AN IMPOLITE WORLD

@METROPOLITIK For complaints, suggestions and digital attaboys, e-mail us at brayden.simms@metro.us.

Did you hear that the Supreme Court found Obamacare unconstitutional this week? Well, it didn’t. Not yet, at least. The truth is, nobody really knows how the court will rule. But that hasn’t stopped plenty of people from declaring the law’s individual mandate dead on arrival. We’re going to try and cut through some of the bluster and wishful thinking to explain the facts of this very complex political issue.

What are federal powers?

The Constitution sets out certain enumerated powers to the government — things the feds can legally do. If it’s not in there, they can’t do it.

Um, OK, but what’s that mean?

Basically, the justices want to determine what sorts of limits the government has under the Obama administration’s interpretation of the law. Specifically they wondered: If the federal government can force everyone to buy insurance, what’s to stop them from, say, mak-

Is Obamacare doomed?

Maybe. Maybe not. We’ll have to wait to find out.

Are we just arguing semantics?

Sort of. One important question is whether the mandate’s penalty can be considered a tax. If it is, the law could be

constitutional, because Congress has the power to tax in order to promote the general welfare so long as it raises revenue. But some on the right say the law won’t do that.

News website The Atlantic Wire — in a story called “How Many Ways Can the Press Declare the GOP Primary Over?” — lambasted the media’s seeming desire to call the race early for Romney. We added some of our own:

Can a court loss possibly be good for Democrats, liberals and/or President Obama?

WEEKEND, MARCH 30-APRIL 1, 2012

Obama, maybe, but that’s a hard sell: It’s tough to argue that the president could benefit from the court declaring his signature legislative achievement a violation of the country’s founding document. It would certainly be, as Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia has put it, “a tremendous validation.” On the other hand, there may still be good news for liberals: If the nation loses Obama’s health care solution, we’ll just need to find a new one — and single-payer, which the left has always preferred, is clearly constitutional.

US autism rates reach new height About one in 88 children in the United States has autism or a related disorder — the highest estimate to date, U.S. health experts said on Thursday.

The estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention represents an increase of 25 percent since the last analysis, in 2006, and double the reported rate in 2002.

Advocates for people with autism seized on the apparent spike in the prevalence of the disease to call for more research to identify its causes and to call for more services for people affected by it.

Household income grew at a faster pace in the fourth quarter than previously thought as the jobs market strengthened, a development that could underpin consumer spending.

The Commerce Department said on Thursday real disposable income rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $11.73 trillion, $10.6 billion more than previously estimated.

While its final estimate left growth in gross domestic product at an unrevised 3 percent pace last quarter, when measured from the income side, the economy expanded at a solid 4.4 percent rate — the quickest since the first quarter of 2010.

Economists said the strong rise in gross domestic income, which followed a 2.6 percent advance in the third quarter, reflected stepped-up hiring. REUTERS

Season 1 concluded without much in the way of epic battling, but our heroes may not be so fortunate this time around. If the second book's epic battles play out onscreen, we hope these scenes don't skimp on scale.

TYRION “THE IMP” Everyone’s favorite character is now the Hand of the King, the man with all the power. He schemes for a way to protect the throne, while also falling in love.

JAIME

CERSEI

Still held captive by Robb, he misses his sister, in more ways than one.

She loves Jaime, but spends much of Season 2 fighting Tyrion for power.

JOFFREY Current King of the Seven Kingdoms. Even though he’s just a boy, this ass sits back torturing people while Tyrion protects his throne.

ROBERT (RIP) After his death, he unknowingly leaves no clear, rightful heir because his children are not his. As a result, civil war breaks out.

RENLY

STANNIS

Youngest brother of former King Robert, he’s openly challenging his nephew’s right to the throne. Wait in line, pal!

The oldest Baratheon brother, he also declares himself King of Westeros, egged on

by Melisandre, a priestess with magical powers.

House Stark

House Targaryen

2

Daenerys

Our young princess’s story weaves carefully throughout the books' chapters.

Her appearances in the adaptation ought to be handled with similar care.

Universal sympathy

One of the most thrilling aspects of the books is the way Martin’s prose leaves the line between good and evil mostly ambiguous.

As the TV series goes forward, it will be important for its producers to maintain this balance — rather than reverting to the tired tropes of Very Bad vs.

Exceptionally Good.

BRAYDEN SIMMS

“Game of Thrones” premieres Sunday at 9 p.m. on HBO.

CATELYN Her husband dead, the Lady of Winterfell tries to team up with the Baratheon brothers to battle the Lannisters for the kingdom. Soon, she’s accused of murder.

EDDARD “NED” (RIP) Lord of Winterfell, our hero, became Hand of the King — and then by all rights King, until Prince Joffrey declared him traitorous and had him beheaded in a Season 1 shocker.

JON SNOW The bastard child of Eddard infiltrates the wildings behind The Wall and gets lucky.

THEON GREYJOY

DAENERYS Daenerys, aka Dany, aka The Stormborn, wants the throne. Owning three dragons will help.

Once ward to Eddard and pals with Robb, he now questions his loyalty. Violently.

Key Vying for the throne Married

BRAN

SANSA

ARYA

ROBB

While his family’s away fighting, his dreams may hold the secret to their destiny.

Betrothed to Joffrey, the kid who killed her father, she secretly prays Robb will take the throne.

Hiding out, the tomboy makes a powerful new friend who kills for her.

His dad dead, he believes he has a right to the throne and starts a war.

Offspring Siblings Lovers

KHAL DROGO (RIP) Sorry, actor from “Conan the Barbarian.” You are dead.

But Dany still travels with your clan.

WARNER BROS. PICTURES MAGNET RELEASING

In theaters Review: ‘Goon’

“Goon”

Grade:

Worthington returns as the half-god, half-man Perseus — and this is a good thing, he swears.

Oh God, another ‘Titans’ Sam Worthington isn’t afraid to express how he feels about “Clash of the Titans”: “I’ve been in the 3-D movie that was the most revered and the most slighted,” he says, referencing his monster hit, “Avatar,” and the original “Titans” film, which now has a sequel.

Worthington returns in “Wrath of the Titans” as Perseus, out to save his dad Zeus (Liam Neeson) from the evil Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and the god of war Ares (Edgar Ramirez).

Worthington assures us, despite being a “p—y actor,” this new film is better than the first.

Why are people still into the Greek gods today?

I just feel that they deal with big themes like destiny and responsibility that are still relevant to us today. That’s why you go with these mythological tales or Shakespeare that have survived, because we find relevance in them in our own society.

Did you sustain any injuries on set?

I don’t like talking about that.

I’ve got mates that play rugby, so they think I’m a p—y actor, so I don’t ever talk up what happens to me. A couple of bruises, but that’s the nature of this type of film. That’s just by investing yourself in these weird action scenes where you are fighting a guy in a green suit.

Do you think 3-D is

While he is due to reappear in his breakout role as Stifler in “American Reunion” next weekend, Seann William Scott has been underrated in just about every project he

has been involved in since “American Pie.” But in taking the starring role in “Goon,” Scott finally gets a chance to shine. He plays a dim bar

bouncer who discovers that his ability to literally bust chops could be harnessed into a lucrative hockey career. The film is based on the true story of Doug Smith as depicted in his book, “Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey.” With a lewd but clever script written

by Evan Goldberg and co-star Jay Baruchel, “Goon” is an unexpected treasure in an otherwise dismal season of flops.

Also opening: ‘Bully’ After the MPAA came under fire for giving this doc an R rating due to its profanity — despite its instructive message that would be useful for those too young to view an R-rated film — “Bully” hits theaters this weekend, depicting the American epidemic of adolescent harassment.

HEIDI PATALANO

Eliminate Painful Withdrawal & Relapse

His favorite scene “Mine’s the minotaur,” he says of the nasty beastie that kicks his ass. “I just liked it because it was a brutal fight, like UFC. I just thought, that’s something different. I was getting a bit over the heroes who have big six packs and do stylized action scenes. That was to me the trump card of saying, I want to go back to the movies I grew up watching where the hero got beaten up — the gunslinger who’s a bit rusty and cops a lot of hits.” overexposed at this point?

How do you get audiences to pay the extra price for it?

Make it good. Make it good.

Jim [Cameron] has drilled 3-D into my head and what the complexities of it are and how it can be utilized. Definitely on this, one of the first things me and [director Jonathan Liebesman] discussed was, how are you going to come in to shoot it? Are you going to shoot it in 3-D? Because I don’t want to be wearing the f— king brunt in a situation like this when it comes to 3-D, which in a way is out of my hands. But if used correctly, I’ve always said, it can draw you into a world.

You’ll fall under its spell “Mirror Mirror” is a delightful take on the classic Snow White tale, with enough integrity to keep the story rooted in its origins but just the right touch of modern flourishes to add excitement.

Julia Roberts is devilishly good as The Queen, whose hatred for her own stepdaughter sets the story in motion. Lily Collins brings an innocent, ethereal quality to the role of Snow White — and she’s selfsufficient enough to prove that this isn’t your standard damselin-distress story. Armie Hammer is dashing as Prince Charming, a role he was practically born to play. The cast is rounded out by a boisterous

WWW.METROINSPACE.COM The winner will be revealed in the special Space Edition on April 12, 2012.

Nathan Lane as The Queen’s servant and a group of fiercely talented little men as the seven dwarves, whose personalities shine far beyond the one-word names we’ve been given in previous incarnations of this story.

Tarsem Singh’s vision plays out remarkably well through lavish scenery (a sumptuous castle perched atop a cliff, a forest bathed in snow) and opulent costumes, hair and makeup that echo the style of Capitol residents in “The Hunger Games.” The story itself is unique, and it’s sprinkled with humor that both adults and kids will enjoy (one particularly humorous scene takes us through The Queen’s beautifi-

Jim Lahey’s pizza revolution The outspoken baking star and restauranter wants to change the way your favorite fast food is created Why you should flip pies in your own kitchen

Weekend recipe

Jim Lahey has some pretty strong feelings about the runof-the-mill slice of pizza.

“It’s all horrific dogs—.

Shameful. Horrifically dumbed down, horrifically unhealthy,” says the owner of New York’s popular Sullivan Street Bakery and Co. pizza restaurant. “All the pizzerias all over the country are supplied by this mass supply chain which I call ‘the pizza industrial complex.’ And it’s all canned and processed sauces, mass-manufactured cheese — and that is the golden standard globally for what pizza is. And I think that’s what ruins food.”

His solution starts at home.

Lahey took his famous and simple no-knead bread-making

Why pizza? “I love the format,” says Lahey. “I love making food with bread.

I like the idea that the bread is the plate, you know? The flat bread is in a way a canvas and your ingredients represent the palette, the color.”

technique and applied it to pizza dough for his second book, “My Pizza.” Included are popular recipes from his restaurant — such as the cheesy Stracciatella Pie and spinach-heavy Popeye Pie — which he hopes will make the pizza process more accessible to home cooks.

“I’m not against fast food.

It’s part of our culture. I think there’s a place for things to eat on the quick,” says Lahey. “But, if you can make a better [product] at home than you can buy, then perhaps [it will force restaurants] to step up their game and try to make a better product.”

Margherita Pie Pizza dough recipe Makes four balls of dough, enough for four pizzas Ingredients 500 grams (17 ½ ounces or about 3 ¾ cups) all-purpose flour, plus more for shaping the dough 1 gram (1/4 teaspoon) active dry yeast 16 grams (2 teaspoons) fine sea salt 350 grams (1 ½ cups) water Directions 1. In a medium bowl, thoroughly blend the flour, yeast and salt. Add the water and,

with a wooden spoon or your hands, mix thoroughly.

2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and allow it to rise at room temperature (about 72°F) for 18 hours or until it has more than doubled. It will take longer in a chilly room and less time in a very warm one.

3. Flour a work surface and scrape out the dough. Divide it into four equal parts and shape them: For each portion, start with the right side of the dough and pull it toward the center; then do the same with the left, then the top, then the bottom. (The order doesn’t actually matter; what you want is four folds.) Shape each por-

tion into a round and turn it seam-side down. Mold the dough into a neat circular mound. The mounds should not be sticky; if they are, dust with more flour.

4. If you don’t intend to use the dough right away, wrap the balls individually in plastic and refrigerate for up to three days. Return to room temperature by leaving them out on the counter, covered in a damp cloth, for two to three hours before needed.

Note: Don’t freeze the dough, but you can store it in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic, for up to three days. When you’re set to use it, you have your own ready-made dough.

Ingredients ball of pizza dough, shaped and waiting on a floured peel 70 grams (¼ cup) basic tomato sauce 70 grams (2 1/4 ounces) fresh mozzarella, pulled into five clumps 10 grams (3 tablespoons) finely grated parmigianoreggiano cheese Pinch of fine sea salt 6 basil leaves, or to taste 1

With the dough on the peel, spoon the tomato sauce over the surface and spread it evenly, leaving about an inch of the rim untouched.

Distribute the mozzarella evenly over the pie.

With quick, jerking motions, slide the pie onto the stone. Broil for three and a half to four minutes under gas (somewhat longer with

an electric oven), until the top is bubbling and the crust is nicely charred — but not burnt.

Using the peel, transfer the pizza to a tray or serving platter. Sprinkle the parmigiano-reggiano and salt evenly over the pizza. Distribute the basil on top. Slice and serve immediately.

More Ron Burgundy? That’s kind of a big deal.

It’s official: Ron Burgundy lives Just when every bro in your life finally stopped quoting “Anchorman,” Will Ferrell — in character as Ron Burgundy, no less — stopped by Conan on Wednesday night to announce the sequel.

“I want to announce this to

everyone here in the Americas,” he told the audience. “To my friends, in Spain, Turkey and the U.K., including England — as of 0900 Mountain Time, Paramount Pictures and myself, Ronald Joseph Aaron Burgundy, have come to terms on a sequel for ‘Anchorman.’”

If we must: Someone pass the scotchy scotch scotch.

For the first time in recent history, Lindsay Lohan is not on probation, in jail or falling out of a car. At a hearing Thursday afternoon, Judge Stephanie Sautner — who has, historically, not been a fan of Lohan or her courtroom circus — ended the actress’ formal probation after agreeing that her community service was successfully completed.

In return, Lohan is required to obey all laws — even the annoying ones that we nonfamous people abide by — for two and a half years. “I know it’s kind of hard when people are following you all over the place, but that’s the life you chose,” said Sautner.

“I’m not going to give a lecture, because you know what you need to do. You need to

live your life in a more mature way. Stop the nightclubbing and focus on your work.”

Or focus on a Magic Eye — anything should do at this point, Linds. We’re proud of you, and we’re canceling your standing Monday gossip reservation.

Where’s she off to next?

Canada, it seems. Her upcoming Elizabeth Taylor movie is shooting in Toronto, and she’s been granted a Canadian work permit, reports TMZ. Thanks, Canada! Now, we don’t suppose we could interest you in some Kardashians, could we?

Lindsay Lohan is a free(ish) woman.

From Chekhov to sci-fi, anything goes ‘Restless Eye’ brings a movie theater touch to the dance floor What you can expect runs the gamut IAN DOUGLAS

“Restless Eye,” David Neumann’s new, hour-long work, feels cinematic — and that’s no accident. He’s acted in films, notably those of Hal Hartley, for years. The New York Live Arts stage is huge, big enough for three or four things to happen side by side, and Neumann’s cast of five shares it with a piano swathed in plastic and a tall white structure designed by Gordon Landenberger that looks like a kid’s drawing of a house. It serves as a screen for diverse, complex video projections by Tei Blow.

A white dropcloth at the back serves as verandah and picnic blanket.

The actor/dancers pass microphones back and forth to declaim re-circulating fragments of text by Sibyl Kempson, and they wear special headsets designed to let their brain waves control the lighting (otherwise designed by Christine Shallenberg). The recorded voices of astronauts, a sudden thunderstorm and equations from physics wash across the stage, creating a Dada fusion of Chekhov, the natural world and the outer reaches of space.

The performers (Neal Medlyn, Andrew Dinwiddie, Kennis Hawkins, Jeremy Olson

and Victoria RobertsWierzbowski), dressed in casual whites by Kate Voyce, stalk this odd arena in various lowkey ways, only occasionally bursting into dance phrases.

They line up and stare at one another, they lie prone on the floor, they appear to practice tai chi.

Neumann, his antic presence sadly missing from the stage, shows us various experiments combining advanced scientific thought with traditional theatrical means and contemporary multimedia.

The result is sometimes bland, sometimes muddy, sometimes startlingly stimulating. On opening night, the packed house cheered.

Party politics claim another debate RE: “DEMOCRATS VOTERS FOR WARS, TAX CUTS TOO!”: Igor

Mannikus now blames the Democrat-controlled Congress circa ‘07-’09 for our budget problems. Well, which is it, Igor: Congress or the president? Or it is just all Democrats? I make no excuses for Obama; he’s acted more like a conservative than a liberal, so I’m no fan.

But one thing I do know is partisan garbage when I see it. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: You cut spending in times of plenty when it’s virtually painless, not in hard times like now. Today people need help and the government is the only entity that can provide it at the moment. You don’t go on a diet when you’re already sick! JD DUCAS, VIA E-MAIL

Hans Haugen thinks we should keep and spend our money however we wish.

Fine, he can pay for his own police, military, clean water, nonpoisonous food, nonlethal drugs, legal system, interstate highways, railroads, weather service and the other 10,000 things we depend on the government to provide.

“Why are we trying so hard to prevent Iran and North Korea from obtaining nuclear capabilities?”

RE: “TRAYON MARTIN: DON’T BLAME GUNS”: The tired old ar-

gument used by pro-gun folks that the absence of tough gun laws will deter violent crime

NYC’s #1 FREE DAILY

(criminals will be less likely to attack someone if they believe that person might possibly be armed as well) stretches credibility to the limit. Seriously?! Well then, elevating your deeply flawed argument to the global level, why are we trying so hard to prevent Iran and North Korea from obtaining nuclear capabilities? Shouldn’t we instead be scrambling to make sure that every war lord in every banana republic on the planet has a bomb in order to end the specter of nuclear Armageddon?

United States. Additionally, a claim that someone intent on killing will simply choose another method when a gun isn’t available is intellectually dishonest. Killing by gun requires no more than a thought to pull a trigger.

Aries March 21-April 19. People you’ll be dealing with will be just as anxious to protect their interests as you are to protect your own. Don’t expect any concessions.

Taurus April 20-May 20. The longer you weigh something, the more you are likely to be affected by a case of paralysis. Besides, your first evaluation is apt to be accurate.

Gemini May 21-June 20. Provided you are as good in the final stretches as you are during your opening gambit, your chances for acquisition look reasonably possible. Hopefully, your material motivation will be strong enough.

Cancer June 21-July 22. Being able to accurately assess matters will not be your problem today. Your headache is likely to come from a failure to act in accordance with your better judgment.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. Although you’ll be reasonably astute at judging commercial matters, you might not be quite as shrewd when doing business with others. As the saying goes: “Keep your powder dry.”

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Don’t make promises to a friend requesting a favor unless you truly mean it. This person will be counting on you, and if you renege, hard feelings will come of it.

President Obama does blame former President Bush for things that are the former president’s fault, as they will be in perpetuity. But as to Mr. Minkin’s main point, why would Obama feel the need to tread cautiously in the reboot of Russo-American relations?

Simply because there are people looking to turn everything he does into an attack? Simply because there are people like Minkin who claim disinclination toward blaming the president and yet instantly read malevolence into what is, it must be admitted, a pretty ambiguous statement?

Set the record straight immediately, so she or he won’t try again.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. If you stand by without intervening, you will be judged by some bad opinions being expressed by friends.

When you’re not in accord with their views, make your position known.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. Put the interests of your family or loved ones above all others, especially when you are placed in the awkward position of having to make a choice. No one should be more important than your kin.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Just because certain morals by which you abide are unpopular with some of your peers, it’s no reason to dilute or lower your standards just to fit in.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. You might not receive everything to which you’re entitled if you fail to stand up for your rights. Think about it: If you’re timid, louder personalities will take over the spotlight.

Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. When it comes to involvements where teamwork is essential, be sure to link up only with those who can pull their own weight. You’ll fail if you’re harnessed with weaklings.

Ewing

Ewing puts name into coaching hat Maybe Patrick Ewing can win the Knicks a championship after all — as head coach.

Before Wednesday night’s game, Ewing, an assistant with the Magic, wasn’t shy in saying he’d love to be coach of the Knicks should the team not retain interim coach Mike Woodson.

“I’d be interested in any job, but this is home, naturally,” Ewing told ESPN. “I still have my place [in New Jersey], and I’d love to interview for any job, here or anywhere.”

Ewing has only been interviewed for a head job once, despite now serving as an assistant in Washington, Houston and Orlando for a combined eight seasons.

“I think I’ve paid my dues,” he said. “I’ve been an assistant coach for eight, going on nine years, and I’d love to have an opportunity to get an interview.” METRO

You’re the Iman: Rookie leads ‘D’ Shumpert impresses on both ends of floor in rout of Orlando Coach, teammates with high expectations Woodson prepares to face Hawks JIM MCISAAC/GETTY IMAGES

Long before Linsanity and the melodrama of Mike D’Antoni, the Knicks were feeling confident they had found a future star in rookie Iman Shumpert.

Now, three months later, there is a definite feeling of deja vu.

Shumpert is again the talk of the Knicks, specifically his defense, which was already good and is now becoming great.

“I loved it,” center Tyson Chandler, himself known for his defensive mentality, said about Shumpert after the team’s impressive dismantling of the Magic on Wednesday night. “I told him that we need him to play like that the rest of the year. He completely changed the game. When he gets into guards like that, he takes them out of the game.”

It didn’t hurt that Shumpert also contributed a career-high 25 points. But it was the defense he played on Jameer Nelson and Jason Richardson that garnered much of the attention postgame.

“He was phenomenal on

Shumpert is averaging 9.5 points and 1.7 steals per game.

both ends of the floor,” Woodson said after the win. “He changes the game from a defensive standpoint and it didn’t hurt that he had his jumpshot working, scoring

the ball inside and out. He was unbelievable defensively.”

He also had seven rebounds, more than twice his season average.

“We go after rebounds

When Mike Woodson was fired after the 200910 season he had won 53 games and taken the Hawks to three straight playoff appearances.

He had taken them to the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons. It wasn’t enough for them.

Now Woodson returns to Atlanta on Friday night (7:30 p.m., MSG) for the first time as an opposing head coach, albeit only interim at least for now.

The Hawks are just 3.5 games ahead of the Knicks in the East standings. METRO/MO every game,” Shumpert said.

“If we dont, Tyson will be all over us.”

Maybe it will be due to injury, or maybe it will be because the normal closer gets rocked for a week straight. The bottom line is fantasy owners put more emphasis on the closer’s role than managers.

Also, you don’t have to be Sandy Koufax to be able to get three outs consistently. We’ve seen mediocre, or even bad pitchers, rack up 30 to 40 saves in any given season. Here are some candidates to acquire saves cheaply this season:

Coors light Rafael Betancourt is coming at a major discount because he pitches in Colorado and he’s never been a full-time closer before. Of course, he also has a career 3.18 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. Most importantly, he has absolutely no competition behind him for the job.

The handcuff Javy Guerra is the Dodgers’ unquestioned closer. However, setup man Kenley Jansen has the better stuff. We can draft both because Jansen will still be a fantasy asset even if he’s not getting saves.

In the news

Giants lineman has minor elbow surgery Giants starting guard Chris Snee said he underwent a “minor” procedure on his elbow (though he wouldn’t say which one) last week. Snee said it was “something that had to be done,” but that he didn’t plan on missing any of the team’s offseason workouts or minicamps. It’s possible that he could move to right tackle with the departure of Kareem McKenzie. METRO

Jansen will get fluky wins and help in ERA, WHIP and strikeouts. The same strategy can be employed with guys like Huston Street-Luke Gregerson and Matt Thornton-Addison Reed.

Less is more Yes, we know that Jim Johnson, Sean Marshall, Brett Myers, Matt Capps and Brandon League aren’t that good.

But they’re also set up to get a decent leash as the closer and one or two, or even three, of them are going to run with the job. Someone from the “less talented” tier will end up with 30-plus saves.
