Sick day bill is OK’d

Historic implications. The city council passes a bill that requires companies with 20 or more employees to offer five paid sick days. Big impact. The legislation could end up affecting up to 1 million uninsured, low-wage employees working in the five boroughs. A healthier outlook. Once in effect, the law will forbid companies from firing workers for taking sick time off, paid or unpaid. PAGE 02

MLB All-Star Sandy fun run This year’s Major League Baseball AllStar game will take place in New York City, but the focus won’t be entirely on the field. MLB will hold a fundraiser and 5K All-Star Fun Run on July 13, and all net profits will go to benefit Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. Fans can register to be a part of the team with four-time AllStar and New York native John Franco, who is now in the New York Mets Hall of Fame.

Paid sick leave bill passes city council Healthy debate. The bill would start oﬀ covering companies with more than 20 employees. The New York City Council passed legislation Wednesday that will require thousands of businesses to provide paid sick days to workers in the city. Companies with 20 or more employees will be required to offer five paid sick days beginning on April 1, 2014. On Oct. 1, 2015, the coverage will expand to include companies that have 15 or more workers. The next year start date gives businesses extra time to recover before absorbing the extra costs. An estimated one million workers in New York City will benefit from the legislation. Another 300,000 workers will receive unpaid sick leave under the new legislation. Enforcement will be complaint driven, according to the speaker’s office, and handled by the Department of Consumer Affairs. The maximum fine will be $2,500. Under the bill, companies that have fewer than 15 employees will be forced to offer unpaid days off to sick workers.

Some people came out to show their thanks after the city council voted. Facts of the bill •

tion toward providing paid sick time to workers in our city,” said Vincent Alvarez, president of the city AFL-CIO. Stuart Appelbaum,

president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, said the vote means “working families do not have to choose between their jobs or their health.” He added, “More than 1 million workers will no longer be afraid of being fired for taking a sick day.” Supporters say the bill will allow workers to take time off when they are sick without fear of losing pay or their job. Critics of the measure say that many business owners cannot afford to offer

paid sick days, and that businesses and employees should be left to work out sick-leave arrangements on their own. “We have a good, strong and sensible piece of legislation that recognizes the needs of everyday New Yorkers and the realities that our struggling small businesses face,” City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said when she first outlined the bill on March 29. Quinn had originally blocked a vote on the paid sick leave bill for three years, arguing that it would hurt the city’s economy. She drew criticism from her fellow mayoral contenders, her colleagues in the City Council and activists, including feminist Gloria Steinem. Advocates have been pushing for a bill that would apply to businesses with five or more employees. Despite some of the limits of the bill, the legislation is viewed as a pivotal step in a national push for paid sick days. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who said earlier this year that the bill would “stifle job creation,” is expected to veto the measure, but the Council, which passed it 45-3, will likely have enough votes to override the veto.

Back from duty. Injured Queens vet gets ‘Heroes’ award When Captain James Van Thach was in his 30s, he was getting ready for two years as a soldier in Iraq. When he came home, he was a disabled veteran. “I felt like a shell of myself,” Van Thach told Metro of his return after being injured two times in Iraq.

The Queens native is working toward recovery with Liz, a mixed service dog, and helping others do the same. Both will be honored Thursday night at the Hearts and Heroes Gala in Manhattan. He will be honored for his work with service dogs and injured vets. ALISON BOWEN

Report. Transgender discrimination costs New York millions Discrimination against transgender people is costing New York millions, according to a new report. The study, by the UCLA’s Williams Institute, says housing and employment discrimination cost millions of dollars as people lean on public assistance instead. According to the study, workplace discrimination could cost the state $7 million each year. “It shocks the conscience that nearly 24,000 New Yorkers can be fired from their jobs or be evicted from their homes merely because of their gender identity or expression,” state Sen. Brad Hoylman said. The group said that people report losing their jobs because of bias, which means lost wages, lost health insurance and housing instability. ALISON BOWEN

Tech capital. The new campus will be the largest tech school in NYC. The City Council approved the Cornell NYC Tech campus on Roosevelt

Island with a vote yesterday. In support of the twomillion square foot campus, the city will sponsor a one-year summer ferry service pilot program and designate an NYPD force to ensure the safety of the students, said Councilwoman Jessica Lappin,

whose district includes Roosevelt Island. The campus is a joint collaboration between Cornell University and Technion Institute of Technology in Israel.

The university also pledged to give computers and technological training to seniors and the disabled who live on Roosevelt Island. “Cornell NYC Tech is about the future of New York — it will drive innovation and economic growth for generations to come,” Councilwoman Jessica Lappin said.

Underground. Lots of skin in the air on NYC subway system: Study

College. Columbia U footballer charged with hate crime

The New York subway system is dirty — with human skin. From 2007 to 2008, biologists from the University of Colorado analyzed air samples that were taken from several New York City subway platforms and found that about 15 percent of the matter that they analyzed consisted of skin. Most of the skin came from heels and heads of riders, but 12 percent of the skin came from other areas such as belly buttons, ear canals, armpits and rear ends. The study found that there was little difference between the air from stations such as Grand Central and City Hall to the air that was breathed outside in Union Square Park. The only exception was the increased fungi in the stations, which the study attributed to wood rot fungi on the wooden subway tracks.

A Columbia University football player has been charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime after he allegedly threatened another student with racial slurs, NBC News reports. Chad Washington, 19, allegedly followed a 19-year-old Asian student early Sunday, called him ethnic slurs and pushed him against a wall. The victim told police that he was walking with two female friends when Washington and his friends began heckling the women, according to NBC News. When the victim tried to defend his friends, Washington started calling him slurs and following him. According to the Columbia University Athletics Department’s website, Washington is a junior and defensive lineman from Oakland, Calif. Columbia released the

12 percent of the skin came from areas on the body such as belly buttons, ear canals, armpits and rear ends. “We encountered no organisms of public health concern,” the study stated. “The general uniformity of microbial assemblages throughout the system indicates good air mixing, a testimony to the efficiency of the train-pumping process.” The study’s publisher, the American Microbiological Association, wants to use the data that they’ve gathered to analyze the effects of subway flooding and the use of biological warfare.

Ariel Castro charged in kidnapping girls Prosecutor. Castro’s two brothers were not charged. Ariel Castro was charged yesterday with kidnapping and raping three women who were rescued from his house on Monday after nearly a decade in captivity. Castro’s two brothers Pedro and Onil, originally arrested in the case, were not charged, said Cleveland city prosecutor Victor Perez at a news conference. The charges came as police revealed that the women, who were rescued on Monday after one of them, Amanda Berry, fled with the help of a neighbor, had not

seen any previous chances to escape in nearly 10 years of captivity. “The only opportunity, after interviewing the young ladies, to escape was the other day when Amanda escaped,” Cleveland Deputy Police Chief Ed Tomba said at the same news conference. “They don’t believe that they’ve been outside that home for the last 10 years,” he said. “They were not in one room, but they did know each other and they did know [the others were] there,” he added. Police said earlier that they found ropes and chains in the house that had been used to hold them prisoner. No human remains were found, they said. Castro, 52, faces

Diplomat recounts lack of response to Benghazi attack Hearing. Democratic members of Congress closely question Hicks and the other two witnesses.

FOR PURCHASE ONLINE.

A former U.S. diplomat in Libya told lawmakers yesterday more could have been done to prevent last year’s deadly assault on the U.S. mission in Benghazi in which the ambassador was killed. In a congressional hearing marked by emotional testimony and angry charges of political partisanship, Gregory Hicks, deputy chief of mission in Libya at the time of last year’s attack, became the first U.S. official on the ground in Libya during the attacks to testify publicly. He detailed a series of frantic phone calls to Washington and between Tripoli and Benghazi, including one from U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens that was cut off after Stevens said, “Greg, we’re under attack.” Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack by suspected Islamist militants linked to al Qaeda on a lightly defended diplomatic mission

Despite air strikes, US still wary of Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air defenses Caution. Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upgrades to its defense systems in recent years poses a problem for any U.S. intervention. Israeli missiles breached Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vaunted air defense system over the weekend, but that offered little comfort to U.S. military planners weighing the risks of any intervention against President Bashar al-Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forces. With some of the possible U.S. military options in Syria involving a need for air power, the Pentagon remains concerned about Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to shoot down enemy aircraft with surface-to-air missiles, particularly in a sustained campaign. If the United States did become more embroiled

US, Russia seek talks, but rebels skeptical Russia and the United States agreed to seek new peace talks with both sides to end Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civil war, but opposition leaders were skeptical yesterday of an initiative they fear might let President Bashar alAssad hang on to power.

Visiting Moscow after Israel bombed sites near Damascus and as President

Barack Obama also faces renewed calls to arm the rebels, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said late on Tuesday that Russia agreed to work on a conference in the coming weeks. An East-West disagreement that has seen some of the frostiest exchanges between D.C. and Moscow since the Cold War has deadlocked U.N. efforts to settle the Syrian conflict for two years, so any rapprochement could bring an international common front closer than it has been for months.

3D-printed gun fires, sparks new arms race Guns. Government is concerned about potential risks of homemade weapons. The shot fired from Cody Wilson’s Liberator has sparked a wider battle, following the U.S. student’s successful test of the first 3D-printed firearm Sunday, with fears that homemade guns could flood the market. Wilson, 25, has made the construction details for the weapon available on his company website Defense Distributed, which has attracted thousands of downloads. “Currently Spain tops the #Liberator download chart. Followed closely by USA,” he tweeted Tuesday. The YouTube video of the test has received al-

most 1.5 million views in 48 hours. The breakthrough surprised experts, who believed the plastic printing material — undetectable by airport security — was not strong enough to support gunfire. “It’s an achievement with clever design features that play to the strengths of 3D printing,” U.S.-based gunsmith Michael Guslick told Metro. “It proves that printing guns is realistic and has obviously generated a lot of interest.” Quoted

Health care data reveals wide disparity in hospital charges U.S. hospital charges for the same procedure vary widely, in some cases by tens of thousands of dollars, even within a particular town or city, according to data the U.S. government released to boost consumer awareness.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the data about hospital charges will help consumers make more informed decisions about treatment.

Britney Spears: Heading to Las Vegas, baby

CULTURE Twitter feed

We check in with some of Hollywood’s biggest names to see what they’ve been up to — in their own words, in 140 characters or fewer.

Today, Diablo Cody’s son gets a bit mixed up, Ian Somerhalder wants clean air, Soulja Boy gets deep, Ice-T toots his own horn and Questlove has some advice for McDonalds. @Diablocody: My son told me I have a small penis. Cruel on a couple of levels. @IanSomerhalder: Beautiful morning in LA - sun, breeze but can’t open my window b/c of the exhaust coming oﬀ of street. Time to end conventional gas engine.PLS @Souljaboy: Listen to what your friends tell you because they can, and will always tell you the things you don’t want to tell yourself. @Ice-T: SVU NEWS: I just watched a pre screening of tonight’s SVU episode. Crazy.. All I can say is “Edge of your seat.” #SVU Best Episode! @Questlove: dear @ McDonalds if yall don’t sponsor Charles Ramsey like *right now*....

It looks like Britney Spears is heading to Las Vegas for a residency this fall, a la Celine Dion. She talked to Shape about how she’s gearing up for it: “I’m doing 90 minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio — hour-long sessions three times a week with my trainer, Tony Martinez,” she tells Shape. “The [Vegas] performances won’t be simple — they’ll be a massive party from start to finish. And to pull this off, I have to be in top condition and running at full speed.” (Translation: No more Cheetos.) She also is apparently paid by Nutrisystem to shill their diet system in interviews. She tells Shape that she’s on

the program (that’s the shake for breakfast and lunch and a “sensible” dinner for those of you keeping track at home). I think what is remarkable about this cover isn’t her toned body, or the amazing Photoshop job from the art director. It’s that she still rocks a belly button ring, and a very glittery one at that. What is this, 1996?

THE WORD Dorothy Robinson’s take on the world of gossip DOROTHY ROBINSON @dorothyatmetro dorothy.robinson@metro.us

Madonna makes a killing via tour Madonna will be honored as 2012’s top touring artist on the Billboard Music Awards. The 54-year-old’s MDNA tour roped in a $305 million at her 88 sold-out shows, with 2.2 million people attending. Prince, Taylor Swift, and Lil Wayne are set to perform at the May 19 ceremony with Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, Miguel, Justin Bieber, Pitbull, Christina Aguilera, Selena Gomez, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Chris Brown, Ed Sheeran, Akon, Ne-Yo and David Guetta in attendance. So, yeah, $305 million. We can cut out all of those “old” jokes we throw her way.

‘The Great Gatsby’ is getting not-so-great reviews The reviews are trickling in for one of the mostbuzzed-about movies of the year, and they are far from “Great.” Alas, it doesn’t seem like reviewers are keen on Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby,” which opens this Friday. One said it’s as “boring as sitting through eighth-

period English” and another went as far as calling it “overwrought, asinine, exaggerated and boring ... about as romantic as a pet rock.” Even The New Yorker didn’t let it down easy, saying that Luhrmann is “less a filmmaker than a music video director with endless

resources and a stunning absence of taste.” Who cares? It’s in 3-D, has a soundtrack produced by Jay-Z and it looks like glitter threw up all over it! Give it to me now!

Heavy metal lead singer busted for murder-for-hire Tim Lambesis, 32, the lead singer of the Grammy-nominated metal band As I Lay Dying, was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion that he tried to hire an undercover detective to kill his estranged wife. As I Lay Dying was scheduled to tour the country with several

other metal acts starting later this month — so that’s bad news for all of you ticket-holders out there. Not much else is known about the case, other than it’s sooo not metal if you hire someone to do your murder. That is, like, Metal 101.

WORLD-RENOWNED PSYCHIC and NY TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR

LUKE EVANS The actor found himself laughing at some of the darkest moments in “No One Lives.”

Friday, May 31 & Saturday, June 1 8pm

PSYCHO KILLER, QU’EST-CE QUE C’EST? In the horror film “No One Lives,” Luke Evans plays a character named Driver, a man who reveals himself to be a psychopath of epic proportions. He proves himself a hero, though, when he encounters a gang of thugs. The Welsh actor will soon be seen among the cast of “Fast & Furious 6,” which adds to a CV that already includes “Clash of the Titans,” “Immortals” and smaller films like “Tamara Drewe.”

corpse of an oversized man. Did you like being covered so thoroughly in gore, or was that too horrible? They are so grotesque and unbelievably brutal that I hope people find them entertaining as well as shocking. This is a quintessential popcorn slasher film by a director who utilizes every element of the genre to the extreme.

How did you identify with a psychopathic character like Driver? I guess I saw him as a tortured soul. He’s a psychopath, and sometimes psychopaths are aware of their condition but can’t do anything about it. The man is basically in love. It’s a twisted love story, one of love and ownership — two emotions that I can relate to as a non-psychopathic human being.

Should we be rooting for your character? That element is the reason I was drawn to the script, because this character essentially becomes an antihero. He might be gratuitously murdering people left, right and center, but all of the people he chooses to murder aren’t the nicest of people. The director and I wanted to challenge the audience’s moral and ethical compass to see if they would start liking him.

You get to do some pretty amazing and grisly, bloody stuﬀ in the ﬁlm, such as the unforgettable moment of Driver emerging from the

scary or not. I found out that it made me laugh continuously. The darker the scene, the harder I laughed. I’m not sure what that says about me. Driver is vulnerable during an early sex scene, but he’s more menacing walking nude to the house where his victims are holed up. Can you talk about how sex and nudity and violence are presented by him? The nudity that my character displays [walking] in the film as opposed to the nudity you see in the sex scene are juxtaposed and represent the two different people that he is — which is a very common trait in a psychopath. Skin and the body both play important roles in this film, and I think Ryuhei [Kitamura, the director] uses them brilliantly. Standing naked covered head-to-toe in synthetic blood in a forest in Louisiana at 2 a.m. was a very liberating experience.

Capital Cities are on a 35-city tour, and not all of them are capital cities. / JAKE HAGOPIAN

Two jingle writers start up a band Techno. Capital Cities make music that’s “fun and upbeat and joyous.” It was instant creative chemistry when Sebu Simonian and Ryan Merchant met through Craigslist a few years ago — which is fortunate, because Merchant was the only one who responded to Simonian’s post. “He was looking for a producer to help him with his solo project,” Simonian says. “He sent me some samples of his songs, which were really good. When we got together, we collaborated immediately.” The pair spent a couple of years penning jingles for TV commercials, but they always had other projects floating around, too. “We

collaborated on all kinds of stuff and putting together ideas,” says Simonian. “We realized all that repertoire was prime material to start a band.” So they did just that, starting the band Capital Cities in 2010 and putting out an EP the following summer. Their debut album, “In a Tidal Wave of Mystery,” comes out June 11. As for describing their style, Simonian says Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd and The Beatles are among their influences. You could call it alternative-pop, or techno, or alternativedance with a blend of upbeat, catchy tunes — or something else altogether. The indefinable quality is “somewhat intentional.” “It doesn’t matter to me what we’re categorized,” Simonian says. “Ryan and I try to make good music.

Overall, we definitely like to make it dance-y — electronic, in-your-face, fun and upbeat and joyous — but we do try to venture into the dark side sometimes with experimental sound. Sometimes the lyrics take turns, and we try to balance it out with depth and more edgy and dark moments.”

“To be quite honest, it was a spur-of-themoment inspirational experiment,” Simonian says. “We spontaneously thought it would be nice if we could throw a rap person in here somewhere. The idea kept

bubbling — we searched the Internet for a cappellas from some of our favorite rappers. We stumbled upon this amazing short little verse that he raps over another song, which I thought was perfectly fitting.”

The eight most stylish ‘Grey Gardens’ “It’s very difficult to keep the line between the past and the present, awfully difficult,” Little Edie says in the film, ironically predicting how she’d impact the fashion world. Depending on who you ask, “Grey Gardens” is not so much a documentary about two recluses related to Jackie O. as it is a 100-minute trend machine. Little Edie’s head scarves, Big Edie’s sorbet-colored house coats, the long furs, the wacky layering, the wild print-mixing: It’s all in style right now. And these women — not Anna Wintour — created the look.

Not since Carrie Bradshaw hauled her collection of Manolos to the big screen has a ﬁlm’s wardrobe received as much hype as Daisy Buchanan’s Prada-designed dresses and Jay Gatsby’s Brooks Brothers suits have. So as “The Great Gatsby” ﬁnally hits theaters, we’re revisiting our favorite fashion movies of all time — because the runways might give birth to the trends, but it’s the movies that determine which ones will become iconic.

‘Bonnie and Clyde’

1 2 ‘Rear Window’

It’s hard to overstate Alfred Hitchcock’s influence on fashion. Alexander McQueen famously built a collection around his movies. And you see hints of Grace Kelly’s Edith Head-designed costumes in “Mad Men.” In “Rear Window,” Kelly only wears five outfits, each one memorable and relentlessly copied.

Faye Dunaway’s midlength skirt suits, knit tops, berets and silk scarves are iconic, making this the second-most referenced movie in fashion history.

‘Funny Face’

“Take the picture!” Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn sealed their relationship as one of the movie world’s greatest duos with a single scene: Audrey running down a staircase in the Louvre, her red sash floating above her mimicking Winged Victory. Givenchy created costumes for four of Hepburn’s movies, all of which we were tempted to put on this list.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;La Dolce Vitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The godmother of fashion cinema, Federico Fellini claimed that his inspiration for the film came from a Balenciaga dress.

Inarguably the biggest of fashion films, it was as influential as the TV show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reinforcing our love of Manolo Blahnik and turning Vivienne Westwood into the new Vera Wang.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Breakfast at TiďŹ&#x20AC;anyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Coco Chanel is credited with creating the Little Black Dress, but Audrey Hepburn popularized it. The satin Givenchy sheath she wore as Holly Golightly was undisputedly the most famous LBD of all time.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Royal Tenenbaumsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Wes Anderson has a clear and unique style that reveals itself in everything from his choice in typeface to his set design. The wardrobe is just an extension of this, and yet it takes on a life of its own. Think Steve Zissouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s red beanie or, more memorably, Margo Tenenbaumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grey Gardensâ&#x20AC;?-y fur.

Tea is served Monday through Friday from 3:30 to 5 p.m. and on the weekends from 4 to 5 p.m. The menu offers a variety of Harney & Sons Fine Teas such as Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Supreme, Sencha Green and Organic Passion Plum.

A French chef who can’t get enough pork belly Hot chef. Pierre Rougey fuses cultures at Prandial.

What makes Prandial special? I love the decor, and I have a beautiful state-ofthe-art kitchen. I came to the United States from France in 1997, and we wanted to take traditional French techniques and apply them to traditional American cuisine. I love French food, but I needed a new challenge, and I couldn’t hope for a better opportunity and space. You specialize in fusion dishes. How did this come about?

Cocktail of the week

Is there a meal you have been meaning to try? I’d like to go to French Laundry, Chef Thomas Keller’s restaurant in California. He also has Per Se in New York. I have his cookbook, and I’m very inspired by him. He was born and raised in the U.S., but lived for years in France and is very knowledgeable about ingredients worldwide.

France native Pierre Rougey is the chef at the helm of Prandial Restaurant, a roomy spot in Chelsea that specializes in American standards injected with a certain French chic. After nine years in NYC, Rougey has acquired a following for his creative fusion dishes and reinvigorating staples with an unexpected French sensibility.

Moet & Chandon ﬂows freely at Jay Gatbsy’s glittery parties, so what better way to celebrate the return of “The Great Gatsby” to theaters than with some bubbles of your own? Serve up this boozy ﬂoozy of a drink at a Roaring ’20s party in the Hamptons, or hit The Plaza Hotel, a regular haunt of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, which will be serving this cocktail at its special “Gatsby”-themed Champagne Bar. Moet Imperial Gatsby 5 oz. Moet Imperial 1 sugar cube soaked in .25 oz. green chartreuse Garnish with a spiral lime twist

What would you cook to impress a date? I wouldn’t have a specific dish in mind — I’d have to know my date first. There isn’t just one dish for everyone — food is a very personal thing. Maybe we could take a trip to the vegetable market together and start from there.

Pierre Rougey is in the kitchen at Prandial (31 W. 21st St., 212-510-8722). / PROVIDED

Different parts of the world have different types of ingredients. In France, there were always different ingredients available that make cuisine different from one region to another. So I guess you could call it fusion, but I have been combining different regional ingredients all my life. In New York, there are so many ways to

get different ingredients — for example, I have a mushroom supplier from the West Coast. So there are many opportunities to combine new things. What is your favorite item at Prandial? I love the pork belly. I love the flavor. It comes with a beet salad made with beets that we pickled four months ago.

Favorite dessert? I really like an apple tart. They’re simple, and I have memories of them from when I was 13 or 14 years old. We used to eat them after soccer practice. To me, there’s nothing better.

The patties that make us melt

The standby

For National Burger Month (as if you needed a reason to eat a burger), we’ve rounded up some of the most unique patties this city has to oﬀer.

Shake Shack GO Burger 1448 Second Ave., 212-988-9822 You won’t find the Mac & Cheese burger on any doctor’s plan, but for a decadent dinner, it’s the best of two comfort foods. Executive Chef Clifford Crooks fries up a mac ’n’ cheese patty in bechemel sauce, then plops it on a burger with balsamiccaramelized onions and smoked ketchup.

Pounds and Ounces 160 Eighth Ave., 646-449-8150 Pounds and Ounces is throwing a patty party all month, with a different burger each day. We’re psyched for May 20th’s offering, the Fork and Knife: an 8 oz. patty topped with onion marmalade, fontina, pineapple-braised short ribs and pickled green tomato chips.

Rhong Tiam Supreme Burger Truck Various locations, www.rhong-tiam.com Michelen-starred chef Andy Yang has 10 Southeast Asian inspired beef burgers on his new Rhong Tiam truck, which just made its debut in the city. Look for Yang and his truck around the Flatiron district.

5 Napkin Burger

Multiple locations, www.billsbarand burger.com Chef Brett Reichler has created two new burgers for the month, including the Mom’s Meatloaf option, which is two slices of beefand pork-blended meatloaf topped with gravy and sauteed onions and served on a toasted peppercorn brioche bun.

Multiple locations, www.5napkinburger. com 5 Napkin’s Asiago Burger is a beef patty loaded up with roasted tomatoes, basil mayo and arugula. Not enough meat for ya? Add pancetta.

Ah, the orgasm. To many, it is necessary for everyday living and easy to achieve. But for countless others it is elusive. Many of my female patients are frustrated that they can’t achieve an orgasm when they are with their partners. They’ve read how-to sex manuals, taken herbal concoctions — some have even gotten their hands on Viagra to try to get things moving. Usually they come in after several visits to medical professionals to see the nonmedical factors that contribute to their inability to get there. I start with a simple question: Can you bring yourself to orgasm? If the answer is “yes,” it means they are physically capable and that the issue is about how they think about sex. Changing the way they think about a situation it can make all the difference. — Metro does not endorse the opinions of the author, or any opinions expressed on its pages.

Tips •

See this issue as an opportunity to improve and know yourself rather than as a problem. Take the opportunity to expand your sexual horizons and learn what works. Remember, you’ve already proven to yourself that an orgasm is biologically possible. So before tweaking your technique, it is important to feel comfortable with your body. Tell yourself that you can enjoy an orgasm while feeling good about taking care of your needs.

•

Accept that sex is more than just a methodical process, and much of what stands between a self-induced orgasm and one with your partner occurs in your head.

•

Know that the formula

for a fulﬁlling orgasm includes more than just an adjustment of speed and intensity. An emotional bond, closeness and being in sync with each other’s bodies is crucially important. Popping Viagra is probably about as eﬀective as eating cherries. •

Don’t focus solely on technique or the genitals. This will only lead to anxiety and tension — both of which are incompatible with relaxing and letting yourself go.

•

Realize that there is more to sex than just traditional sexual intercourse. Recognize the entire body has the potential to feel good and attempt to stimulate each other in ways you haven’t tried yet.

Climactic thoughts

“By gently exploring each other and communicating your respective needs, you’ll help to lower inhibitions and feel more comfortable en route to that mind-numbing-orgasm.”

All deserve Bill doesn’t a proper help those burial who pay I’m not sure why Tsarnaev’s final resting place is such an issue. The guy is dead — what more do we want from him? To kill him again, and again, and again? For what? So that somehow his horrible act can be undone? Why do we insist on this type of revenge? Why don’t government officials get involved? I am in NO way taking away from the suffering and loss. What I’m saying is, at the end of the day, this guy is someone’s son, nephew, father, etc. He may not deserve a proper burial, BUT he is entitled to one whether we agree with how he lived his life or not.

How wonderful! Congress is on the brink of passing a “comprehensive immigration bill.” Who does it serve? There are only three goals for today’s politician: One, get reelected to office; two, get elected to a higher office; three, create a legacy! As reported, the bill as proposed will likely cost taxpayers $9 trillion, while tax revenues from this group are estimated at $3 trillion. Final score: politicians/ immigrants 100 percent, taxpayers 0. ED CAMPBELL, VIA EMAIL

Doctor is out

Doc needs surgery Phillies starter Roy Halladay has been searching for an answer to his early season struggles. He may have ﬁnally found it. Halladay met with Dr. Lewis Yocum yesterday and will undergo right shoulder surgery to remove a bone spur. The two-time Cy Young winner has no timetable for return, though manager Charlie Manuel said he hoped it wouldn’t be for the season.

Golden Nugget

Karl earns top coach The Nuggets’ postseason didn’t go as planned, but head coach George Karl was named NBA’s Coach of the Year yesterday for a remarkable regular season performance. Karl led the Nuggets to the No. 3 seed and a 57-25 record.

Top stopper

Lundqvist honored as Vezina ﬁnalist Henrik Lundqvist was the one constant for the Rangers in this most inconsistent of seasons. Lundqvist was rewarded yesterday for a remarkable year by being named one of the three finalists for the Vezina Trophy. Columbus’ Sergei Bobrovsky and San Jose’s Antti Niemi are the other finalists. Lundqvist is a Vezina finalist for the fifth time in his career. He finished third in 2006, 2007 and 2008, and won the award for the first time last year. “It means a lot. I am really proud to be in that category,” Lundqvist said before Game 4 of the team’s series against the Capitals. “It’s been an interesting year — a different year, a shorter season. [It’s been a] tight schedule [and] things maybe didn’t go our way all the time. When you have to work really hard to get back in the race and to finally get in, it’s just a big reward. Last year, I thought a lot of things were going our way. This year we had to work really hard for it. Consistency this year is something I am very pleased about.” DENIS GORMAN

Big loss

MacDonald out for season The Islanders are enjoying a thrilling resurgence this postseason, but they did receive some bad news yesterday. Defenseman Andrew MacDonald reportedly suffered a broken hand in Game 4 and will be out for the remainder of the postseason. MacDonald was hit by Pittsburgh’s Douglas Murray in the second period and did not return to the game. MacDonald plays on the Islanders’ top defensive line with Travis Hamonic. METRO

Layoff allowing New York to heal NBA playoﬀs. Amar’e Stoudemire may ﬁnally return to the lineup in Game 3. The Knicks bounced back in a big way Tuesday night, but must now suffer the scheduling quirk of having to wait until Saturday night to play Game 3. But despite the unreasonable waiting time, a few good things can come from the wait. Point guard Raymond Felton tweaked an ankle toward the end of the third quarter of the blowout win in Game 2, and did not return, so the extra rest will do him well. The Knicks had a scheduled day off from practice yesterday, but Felton said he will “definitely” be ready for Game 3. Another benefit of the gap between games is that Amar’e Stoudemire will get the chance to continue to test his knee and see if he’ll be ready for his first appearance of the postseason. Stoudemire’s knee held up during a 3-on-3 fullcourt session earlier in the week and another workout during Tuesday morning’s shootaround. “He didn’t have any setbacks after going 3-on3, and after [yesterday’s

harm — even if the gap breaks the Knicks’ momentum. “A lot of times if I am boxing out [Roy] Hibbert and [Carmelo Anthony] is tangled with David [West], we are not able to get the rebound,” Chandler said. “So, to have him there or have the guards help crash will be a huge help.”

Rangers even up series in Game 4 behind balanced effort from offense Head coach John Tortorella believes the Rangers possess character and resilience. Those attributes were on full display last night. There will be at least one more hockey game at Madison Square Garden in this abbreviated season after the Rangers evened the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series after a 4-3 win over the Capitals in Game 4 last night. Game 5 is Friday night at the Verizon Center.

Isles-Penguins The Penguins have pulled the plug on maligned goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. •

Fleury has struggled all series, never more than when he allowed six goals in Game 4. Tomas Vokoun will get the start tonight.

Derek Stepan’s goal 6:02 into the third period was the game-winner. Dan Girardi, Brad Richards and Carl Hagelin also scored goals for the Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist had 27 saves. The Rangers never trailed and, in fact, dominated the first 35 minutes. But the teams went into the second intermission tied at 2-2. Girardi and Stepan made it 4-2, before Karl Alzner cut the lead to one with 7:31 left. DENIS GORMAN
