‘Made in NY’ aims at the next generation of entrepreneurs SCOUT TUFANKJIAN

New campaign by the mayor showcases New York’s power as start-up leader for young firms Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been working to position New York City as one of the world’s great tech and innovation capitals.

panies on the mayor’s list have harnessed the creative energy of the denizens of this gritty city to power a wide array of businesses, from online dating to eyewear, in ways that are as unique as the city they call home. The inititiaves goals are to recruit more companies and talent to the city. Metro looked at four “Made in NY” businesses. with his friend Brian Schechter.

Domino project reimagines the Brooklyn waterfront SHOP ARCHITECTS AND JAMES CORNER FIELD OPERATIONS

Two Trees Management Company, the developers for the controversial site of the old Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg, released a plan for the waterfront site yesterday, designed by SHoP Architects.

Two Trees is best known for development work in DUMBO, and the Domino Sugar Factory site is best known for the degree to which neighborhood residents fought its development. While there are already previously approved plans in place, those plans were, Curbed noted, met with such ire that the new SHoP plans were created in an effort to calm public sentiment.

less residential space and fewer residential units, more office space, less retail space, fewer parking spaces, vastly more public open space, taller buildings and an overall 230,256 more gross square feet — and that’s just by the numbers.

The proposal outlines a

mixed-use complex that would be active 24/7, and include integrated affordable housing and new treelined pedestrian walkways connecting the waterfront to the street.

permanent jobs.

The figure has a historical connection: It would return the site to its peak level of jobs once hosted at the factory, which was reportedly more than 4,000 in the early 20th century.

The figure declined to 1,500 after World War II and less than 300 in 2001.

It will also include a school, a recreation center and opportunities for small, independent retail.

Outdoor enthusiasts can look forward to more than five acres of park space, including sports fields, gardens and seating areas, as well as a waterfront esplanade with a kayak launch and a floating pool.

For those who still fret about the loss of neighborhood history, the plan details the preservation of historic factory artifacts, including cranes and sand syrup tanks, to be incorporated into an elevated walk that apparently aims to be the High Line of Williamsburg.

Baby born after crash dies the next morning NYPD

500 PARK AVENUE E. 59TH STREET BETWEEN M A D I S O N & PA R K

The baby who was born after his parents were killed in a Brooklyn car crash on Sunday has died.

Community leader Isaac Abraham said the baby died around 5:30 a.m. yesterday.

Police are still searching for the driver and a passenger of the BMW vehicle that crashed into the car carrying Nachman and Raizy Glauber. The occupants of the BMW reportedly jumped out of their car and ran away. Police said witnesses reported that the driver was male and the passenger was female. The police released a photo yesterday of the suspect, Julio Acevedo, 44, who was supposedly behind the wheel of the BMW. The married couple, both 21, were on the way to the hospital because the pregnant woman was not feeling well.

Doctors had delivered the premature baby via Csection. A funeral for the couple was held on Sunday. LAURA SHIN

“We must do everything we can to help the NYPD track down the indi-

“I am confident that the NYPD will find the

“Greatness” swaps Beyonce and Jay-Z concert tickets for firearms.

Williams’ proposal suggests that people turning in illegal firearms receive tickets to some of this summer’s most anticipated shows.

Deputy Commissioner

Paul Browne confirmed that NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly is considering the proposal. Ed Mullins, a sergeant in the detective squad at the 67th precinct, is hoping Kelly approves the program.

“Any program that gets people to turn in illegal handguns is a good program,” Mullins said.

“What’s especially good

about this program is people look up to celebrities, and we’re now bringing them in to help send the message to get firearms off the street.”

Typically the NYPD offers cash vouchers in their buyback programs. Mullins said that the funding for the programs comes from a variety of sources.

Obama renews offer on safety nets cuts GETTY IMAGES

Reforming Social Security might be on the table.

President Barack Obama raised anew the issue of cutting entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security as a way out of damaging budget cuts, a White House official said on Sunday, as both sides tried to limit a fiscal crisis.

Signaling he might be ready to explore a compromise to end automatic spending cuts that began late Friday, Obama mentioned reforming these entitlement programs in calls with lawmakers from both parties on Saturday afternoon.

“He’s reaching out to Democrats who understand we have to make serious progress on long-term entitlement reform and Republicans who realize that if we had that type of entitlement reform, they’d be willing to

dorothy.robinson@metro.us

Jaden Smith’s new squeeze In today’s “Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous: The Prepubescent Set” it looks like Jaden Smith, 14, and Kylie Jenner, 15, are going steady. Smith, who was in London recently for Justin Bieber’s 19th birthday party (more on that later), took Jenner to Caffe Nero in London’s Piccadilly Square on Sunday.

“They’re dating,” says a source close to Jenner. “It’s new, but they’ve been friends forever.”

So welcome to your future: We’re going to be reading about who these two are dating for the next 30 years — starting now.

Horrifying, isn’t it?

More on Bieber’s ‘worst’ birthday

Hot. Shot

Justin Bieber is backtracking that his birthday was “the worst” — as he said on Twitter — because his friends were barred entry to the club where he was celebrating because they were underage. “I love how the club wanted to give the press another reason to why we didn’t stay at their weak-ass club so they wouldn’t look bad for me walking in and right back out,” he wrote on Instagram. “I said ‘worst birthday,’ but that was due to dummies pushing over my fans,” he writes.

The old saying ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’ rings true in Sam Lipsyte’s short story collection ‘The Fun Parts’

T

CERIDWEN MORRIS

o the chagrin of your peers, have you ever cracked up at the most malapropos moments: grim, vulgar or absurd? Like the loathsome, self-loathing and yet somehow lovable characters in his short story collection “The Fun Parts,� Sam Lipsyte gives his readers, too, the license to shamelessly laugh through tears and cry through laughter. We ask the author about his 13 not-so-fun, but oh-sofunny tales of redemption.

While the unfortunate protagonists in his short stories are passing their prime, author Sam Lipsyte says, comically, that he hopes he has not yet reached his. “It’d be hard to ďŹ nd someone who’d say, ‘I’m in my prime and it’ll be over next Tuesday.’ Though that could be true, too. I’m just trying to write as well as I can and hope I get better as I go.â€?

I have kids myself, so I’m thinking about these things. The scariest thing is that my own parents have no idea which moments that made a difference because they were usually so banal. You would never remember doing them in your own lifetime but your child is studying you and freezes them forever. I hope that with my children I’m saying the right thing when they’re taking the picture.

It seems that we meet each character at the beginning of the end of a major crisis.

I’m always interested in characters that have their backs into the corner as we begin; it adds more tension. We end up getting the backstory anyway to some degree, right? You have to design a machine

[Laughs] Right.

How do you ďŹ nd humor in life’s unsung tragedies?

I view everything in a tragic-comic light. Most things [in life] are dead serious and quite funny at the same time. Something can be really funny and then suddenly, as you’re laughing so hard, you begin to see how painful everything is or it shows you some flash of the abyss. We are always seeing things from different angles. I think having just one [way of seeing] is a problem.

PFW trends The statement sleeve

SUNDAY 10 a.m.

Team Kenzo has left quilted throws and little handwarmers for each of us on our seats. The venue isn’t heated, so this is a good thing. It’s also a testament to how cool Humberto Leon and Carol Lim are that everyone in the audience is wearing their freebies.

Celebrities, editors, stylists and buyers rarely indulge in the swag gifted at shows because they receive enough in their regular working life, plus no one wants to drag a gift bag from show to show.

Sleeves are getting more elaborate as the Paris shows go on. At Maison Martin Margiela, oversized shirt sleeves came with giant brush strokes on even bigger cuffs. Phoebe Philo, meanwhile, twisted the sleeves of a coat dress to make a big bow at Celine, and Rei Kawakubo wound hers into giant serpentine coils at Comme des Garcons. KH

The press notes explain that Leon and Lim went to ancient temples in India, Nepal and China to find inspiration for their new collection. That trip yielded a new batch of graphic separates worth coveting. For the past two or three seasons, we’ve been experiencing a moment in which the statement print is a thing. The graphic is coveted as much as the item of clothing or accessory itself. Designers such as Miuccia Prada started this phenomenon years ago (remember when you just had to have that lipstick print?), but Kenzo is taking it up a notch. The new collection is teeming with pieces that

Gone are the days of the traditional pink and blue color scheme for baby rooms. “In 2012, there was a lot of neon in fashion,� Mauer says. “You saw it on the runway, and now people are bringing it into their nurseries.� Big and bold is the new motto. But don’t expect to paint the walls electric blue or buy a bright yellow crib, notes Mauer. You are more likely to see neon pink bedding, or a neon green table cover that adds mild pops of color and a bit of trendiness to the nursery — without going overboard.

Don’t get so carried away by how well others are doing that you forget to concentrate on furthering your own abilities.

Steer clear of any involvement in which you have no say in

It is telling that President Barack Obama chooses to sit down with key leaders after the sequester to discuss what spending cuts and/or service cuts will be decided. Why was he not deeply involved in the process before Americans have to again be hit hard financially? Oh, yes, he said both sides should be willing to compromise, yet he himself would not compromise or even entertain suggestions from the other side. He bashed the Republicans for stalling this sequester, but again, where were Mr. Obama’s suggestions, interventions and his promise to compromise? As expected, promise not kept. CATHY

Cancer June 21-July 22. It won’t take you long to lose points with others if you don’t hold yourself accountable for your mistakes. This will be especially true if you put the blame everywhere but on yourself.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. Wasted time will become a critical factor in hampering your productivity. The chances for accomplishing your aims will be in direct proportion to the time you spend dilly-dallying.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. If you and your mate are facing a difficult decision, try to work it out yourselves instead of discussing it with outsiders, especially in-laws.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. In order to spare the feelings of

another, you might rework the facts. When the truth comes out, it will anger the person whom you wanted to help.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22.

When it comes to people who helped you acquire something that you badly wanted, of course you should share the rewards. Just don’t feel obligated to make a payoff to those who did nothing.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21.

There is a chance that one of your well-intentioned gestures might produce some unintended and unpleasant effects, causing others to have difficulty in discerning your motives.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19.

Under most conditions, you are a rather determined person. However, friends could talk you into doing things you

know you shouldn’t, causing you much guilt later.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. A lot of disappointment is possible if you base your expectations on unrealistic premises.

Make it a point to try to see things for what they are and not as you wish them to be.

Letter writer Kevin Metz is right: We live in a system of checks and balances.

Unfortunately, that has nothing to do with what’s going on now. Anyone truly tired of hearing about Republican obstructionism should perhaps take it up with the party. Sen. Mitch McConnell said from day one that their first priority was to make the president fail. Just the other day, Sen. Lindsey Graham admitted on television, likely inadvertently, that the GOP’s sole strategy is to oppose anything and everything the president proposes.

Republicans aren’t required to rubber-stamp the president’s proposals, but, instead of simply rejecting his ideas reflexively, how about giving them some amount of consideration? Just like the majority of the public indicated they wanted them to do with their votes. This is not “checks and balances”; this is a ridiculously long temper tantrum, and it’s destroying both the party and its brand. MARC

WEISENBURGER, VIA E-MAIL

There’s a very simple solution to the ridiculous budget problems confronting this administration: The Democratically controlled Senate needs to pass a budget. But for the past five years, Obama has instructed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his cohorts not to even consider a budget, even though by law a budget must be prepared by the end of February of each year. You see, without a budget, this government can spend without any control. And the spending is the problem. JOHN E. BEVAN,

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano cautioned airline passengers to get to the airport extra early because U.S. spending cuts have already led to long lines at security checkpoints, and said the furloughs will only make the situation worse.

Spending cuts have led to the elimination of overtime for TSA officers and customs agents. She said TSA would begin sending out furlough notices to employees; Customs and Border Protection will send them out this week.

Napolitano said delays were between 150 percent and 200 percent at certain airports. REUTERS

MIXED MESSAGE Carlesimo plans to shake up rotation Blatche, Lopez to see time on floor together Evans will likely sit as offensive liability NED DISHMAN/NBAE/GETTY IMAGES

Nets interim head coach P.J. Carlesimo didn’t exactly release his new rotation on a silver platter yesterday, but he did hint at pairing centers Andray Blatche and Brook Lopez together.

“It’s something that I’d like to look at more, but there’s more teaching,” Carlesimo said after practice yesterday. “It’ll probably fall on Dray at the four spot. The four spot is not that different. It’s not different than the five spot in a lot of the things we do. ...

It’s kind of hard to expect him to know everything.

We have to look at what menu of things we would call in that situation and try to anticipate as many of the defensive things as we could.”

Blatche is having a bounce-back season after signing a one-year deal

Andray Blatche will likely see more time at power forward instead of backing up Brook Lopez.

two years ago but slipped to 8.5 points per game in 26 games for the Wizards while he was benched due to a lack of conditioning.

It is also a pairing point guard Deron Williams would not mind seeing, es-

pecially since it gives him two options for running pick-and-roll plays.

“It’ll be good because it hasn’t really happened much this year,” Williams said. “I think last game I can’t really recall, but I don’t remember it happening much before last game.

I think it’s a good strategy — a look we haven’t tried.

The way the things have been going lately it doesn’t hurt to try it.”

Assuming Blatche and Lopez are paired together, the Nets should get more offensive production at power forward. Reggie Evans can rebound and defend, but he’s scored just eight points while shooting 2-for-19 in his last eight games.

Say what you want about the Nuggets’ lack of star power, but Ty Lawson is averaging 23. 1 points and 7.6 assists over his last 10 games.

HEAT (43-14)

A 14-game win streak. Is that good?

Nope. It’s freakin’ awesome — and so are the Heat right now. This team hasn’t lost in over a month, and LeBron James is playing at otherwordly levels.

THUNDER (43-16)

A tough loss in Denver was followed by a big win against the Clippers to lock OKC in at the No. 2 spot this week. Miami No. 1, OKC No. 2. It’s 2012 all over again.

Tony Parker will be down for about a month.

He’s been the reason the Spurs have overcome injuries. Can they return the favor in March?

The Knicks posted 37 points in the second quarter against the Heat, but just 34 points combined in the third and fourth.

CLIPPERS (43-19)

Los Angeles is still one of the deepest teams in the league, which will be huge for them in this year’s Western Conference playoffs.

5

KNICKS (35-21)

GRIZZLIES (39-19)

The second hottest team in the league behind the Heat has gone 9-1 in their last 10 games, losing to just — you guessed it — the Heat.

9

HAWKS (33-25)

At the start of this week, the Hawks were holding down the No. 4 slot in the East. But they were also just two games from falling down to No. 7.

10

BULLS (34-26)

Joakim Noah looks like a man amongst boys out there as of late, but the Bulls are playing below-.500 basketball since late January.

11

NETS (34-26)

Hopefully JayZ is too busy planning his summer stadium tour with Justin Timberlake to notice that his team has lost four of its last five games.

12

ROCKETS (33-28)

What does a No. 1-ranked offense and a No. 29-ranked defense get you? Fun basketball games.

Unfortunately “fun” doesn’t often equal “success.”

13

CELTICS (31-27)

Four games in six days for the Celtics, including a back-to-back on the road. They could easily go 4-0 or 0-4 in this stretch.

14

WARRIORS (33-27)

The Warriors have two big problems.

First, they don’t play much defense. Second, they can’t win on the road. That usually spells an early playoff exit.

15

JAZZ (32-27)

The good news: The Jazz are 22-8 at home this season. The bad news: Five of their next six are on the road, where they’ve gone 10-19.
