Police have a suspect in custody in the shooting of four teenage boys at the Marcy Houses in Brooklyn Saturday evening. The alleged shooter has not yet been charged. The oldest victim, 18-year-old Mario Lopez, was shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Woodhull Medical Center a little before 7 p.m. Saturday. Police reported that the other three victims were 13, 14 and 15 years old. They were shot in the neck, right knee and left thigh, respectively. The 13-year-old was taken to the hospital in critical con-

dition, while the other two were classified as serious. Police said nine shell casings were found at the scene. Lopez was reportedly at the Marcy Houses for a basketball tournament organized for local youth. Police said they were hanging out near a building a few hundred yards from the basketball court when the alleged shooter fired on them, then fled the scene. The suspect was apprehended inside 77 Tompkins Ave. Sunday morning, cops said. Police said they believe the shooting was gangrelated. According to cops, the victims were members of the Young Stackers crew, and the alleged shooter is connected to the Tompkins Get Money crew.

NYPD van crash

Police van kills pedestrian in Williamsburg A police van struck and killed a 61-year-old Brooklyn man Saturday afternoon. Felix Coss, a Williamsburg resident, was crossing underneath the elevated J line when he was hit by a NYPD van making a left turn.

Public Advocate and mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio rallied with healthcare workers outside the struggling Long Island College Hospital yesterday, calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to intervene to save the facility and another Brooklyn hospital. In a letter sent to Cuomo Sunday morning, de Blasio said LICH

and Bedford-Stuyvesant’s Interfaith Medical Center “face closure not because of an overarching imperative in delivering patient [health care], but because of bottom lines and profit margins.” SUNY Downstate Medical Center has been moving toward closing LICH since February. Last month, a judge

ordered LICH to maintain enough staff to function, but the hospital is diverting ambulances away from its emergency room, de Blasio said. Interfaith also faces closure after filing for bankruptcy in December. Spokespeople for the hospitals did not respond to requests for comment. ANNA SANDERS

Solar plane lands in NYC Green energy. Solar Impulse is first plane able to store energy and work day and night. An airplane entirely powered by the sun touched down in New York City late Saturday, completing the final leg of crosscountry journey that began more than two months ago. The Solar Impulse, its four propellers driven by energy collected from 12,000 solar cells in its wings to charge batteries for night use, landed at

John F. Kennedy Airport at 11:09 p.m., organizers said. The experimental aircraft had left Dulles International Airport outside Washington for its last leg more than 18 hours earlier, on a route that

took it north over Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey. The spindly aircraft had been expected to land in the early hours of Sunday, but the project team decided to shorten the flight after an 8-foot tear appeared on the underside of the left wing. The condition of the aircraft was declared sufficiently stable to continue, and pilot Andre Borschberg was not in danger, the organizers said. The Solar Impulse is the first solar-powered plane capable of operating day and night to fly across the United States. REUTERS

Weiner scandal part of Sex Museum exhibit Museum piece. The exhibit uses conversations from his sexting scandal. Democratic candidate for mayor Anthony Weiner is featured in a Museum of Sex exhibit exploring sexual desire in the digital

age. “Universe of Desire” includes a Facebook chat between then-Rep. Weiner and Las Vegas blackjack dealer Lisa Weiss, one of the women who became embroiled in a sexting scandal after Weiner accidentally posted a graphic picture to his Twitter account. Weiss, 42, gave the conversations between her

and Weiner to the website RadarOnline.com in June 2011. Ten days later, Weiner resigned from the House of Representatives. When Weiner announced his bid for mayor, he acknowledged the scandal. “I made some big mistakes and I know I let a lot of people down, but I have also learned some tough

lessons,” Weiner said. Less than two months later, Weiner is considered neck-and-neck with City Council Speaker Christine Quinn for the Democratic ticket. “Universe of Desire” runs through Sept. 2.

A man was shot on West 152nd Street at 5:45 Sunday morning, police reported. Officers arrived to find the 41-year-old black male shot in the leg. The man was transported to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. No arrests have been made.

Coney Island’s Astrotower was taken down Saturday, NY1 reports. The iconic attraction swung a bit more than it was supposed to, which led city officials to begin disassembling the tower for safety purposes before the start of the weekend. The Astrotower had been at Coney Island since 1964 and operated until 2010.

Huge crowds rally in Egypt as political process falters Violence. In Alexandria, where 14 people died on Friday, clashes broke out again. Hundreds of thousands of supporters and opponents of ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi gathered in Cairo and Alexandria yesterday, two days after similar gatherings led to nationwide clashes that claimed more than 30 lives. The crowds, likely to stay on the streets until the early hours, raised the risk of further violence while a military-driven plan to resolve the political crisis remained mired in mistrust and confusion, dashing hopes of a quick fix. Protesters opposed to Morsi crammed Cairo’s Tahrir Square and the presidential palace in a festive atmosphere. Unlike Friday,

About 40 missing after oil train blast The death toll from the explosion of a runaway freight train in a small Quebec town rose to five and another 40 people are missing, police said yesterday. The driverless train derailed and blew up early Saturday in Lac-Megantic, destroying dozens of buildings in the center of the

town. “Two more people have been recovered, two more bodies, which brings the [death] total to five. ... There are about 40 people, more or less, who are considered to be missing,” police spokesman Michel Brunet told reporters. “There could be more. There could be less.” REUTERS

there were no running street battles with Morsi’s supporters and soldiers. Those who backed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood movement concentrated in vast numbers outside a mosque in the northeast of the city, and outside the Republican Guard barracks where Morsi was being held and three people were killed on Friday.

Firemen and investigators examine the wreckage from a Boeing 777 airplane that crashed July 6 while landing at San Francisco International Airport.

NTSB. There was no indication of a criminal act, but it’s too early to tell what went wrong. U.S. officials examined flight information recorders and began investigating the crash of an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 that burst into flames upon landing

in San Francisco, killing two teenage Chinese students and injuring more than 180 people, officials said yesterday. There was no immediate indication of the cause of the July 6 accident, but Asiana said mechanical failure did not appear to be a factor.

Crash victims mourned on microblogs One of the two victims of the deadly July 6 plane crash, Wang Lin Jia, 16, was reluctant to say goodbye to her friends, according to her Tecent Weibo page (a Chinese version of Twitter) shortly before her death. In one post, Wang wrote, “Maybe time can dilute the coffee in a cup and flatten the contour of memory.” On July 5, one day before the crash, she posted her last Weibo message in English, simply saying “Go.” The other victim, Ye Meng Yuan, 16, was a classmate of Wang’s, a newspaper in Beijing reported.

Mourners have left thousands of messages on the girls’ Weibo pages. Some are from their close friends, but most are from strangers. One wrote, “Little sisters, good luck on your road in heaven.” According to their microblogs, Wang was the class monitor, a special position in the Chinese education system, and was good at Chinese calligraphy and recitation. Ye was also a stellar student, a leader and was a proficient piano player, her page indicates.

Aircraft safety experts said Glide Path was far from essential for routine landings.

Hacking the future of programming Tech. At Hacker School, passion is the ultimate test. With recent advances in technology, we’ve seen unprecedented innovation in education — from online master’s degrees to webinars and new ways to collaborate with other students around the world. In the midst of all the reform and experimentation, Hacker School takes a very different approach to training the next generation of programmers. No tuition. No grades. No teachers. No curriculum. Um, what?

Hacker School is a three-month, full-time school for programmers in New York City. It is completely free, and the lack of curriculum lets students focus on their passion projects, learning how to improve coding skills along the way. We spoke with Mary Rose Cook, a facilitator at Hacker School, about how it works. As a facilitator, what does your day-to-day look like? We just facilitate people becoming better programmers, sitting down and collaborating on code with students. We’ll work with them for maybe an hour to two, writing code for their projects.

Some people are working on technical computer design type stuff, and others are working on iPhone apps — it is totally self-led.

Inside the furry suit: NYU Bobcat Gaby Marano Spirit. Personality counts, even under all that fur. Some New York University students might not know until graduation that the school has a mascot, but they always want a photo with the school’s Bobcat, says Gaby Marano, 20, one of seven people on the New York University mascot team. She made the team at NYU and now helps pick new members, judging them on raw talent and how they might handle certain situations, whether a drunk fan or scared child. She told us about her responsibilities.

How did you start being the Bobcat? At NYU, I was walking around a club fair … and I saw the mascot head and I ran over, and I was like, “What is going on?” … The auditions were comprised of making a 90-second skit. You couldn’t wear the costume, just to test your confidence and make sure you could do it. A big part of being a mascot is you can’t talk, so you have to use body language. What makes a good mascot? At auditions, we primarily look for raw talent, and that usually comes out when you’re very confident. The bigger, the better. Once you are

on the team, we teach you technique and the logistics and how to handle certain situations. What kinds of situations? A little kid who’s really upset — you don’t want to scare them — [or] if you have a drunk fan. How would you handle that situation? Bobcat security. It’s legitimate. Half the time they take pictures for you, and the other half they just make sure the performers are as safe as possible. What don’t people know about being a mascot? I think one shocking piece of information is that we count as a varsity

sport at NYU. … There’s a whole society of mascots. We’re in touch, we talk, we try to get better every year. How do you improve? I would say practice makes perfect. There’s no perfect way to be the

mascot. A lot of it has to do with the personality and how you’re trying to portray [the character]. Every mascot has a different character. What works for one suit might not work for another suit. How would you describe

your character? I would describe a bobcat as fierce. We try to make him fierce and peppy and just a lot of confidence, a bit of swagger.

What do you think of exposing your classroom to advertising by utilizing Facebook? In our closed Facebook space, there is no advertising content yet. If that changes, perhaps I will reconsider. Of course, when students use it privately, there is advertising. But I have never had to tell a student to create a Facebook account for a class, because I’ve never had a student that didn’t have one already.

Use summer as a springboard Advice. For one recent college grad, a summer project was the start of a real adventure. Just after graduating from Michigan State in 2011, Megan Gebhart was looking at a summer filled with the questions and anxieties of anyone beginning a new life. Her answer was to get coffee — 52 cups’ worth, to be exact. Gebhart started a blog called “52 Cups” that forced her to get out and meet new people — one each week. The advice and knowledge she gained from the coffee dates inspired her to flout her job search and travel. The advice and experience she gained landed her a job, as well as a contribution to the upcoming book “U Chic’s Diploma Diaries.” Here are her tips for

and demonstrate that you have initiative. You are passionate and diligent about achieving a goal. Even though your passion might not relate to the job you’re applying for, it’s a really great way to show your skills — and a great way to get some skills.

Start now recent grads:

Get coffee with somebody It’s not about the coffee, it’s about making new connections. To a lot of people it can be terrifying to reach out to somebody. The trick is, you get insight from someone more experienced than you. Meeting new people can definitely open new doors. What I found is that people love helping students and recent graduates.

Gebhart poses with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who told her to be true to herself and her values. PROVIDED

The thing that I always said about 52 cups is that it was an experiment, because I knew if I met some people my life would inevitably change in some way. I knew it would change, but I had to go out and do it, because if I sat around and waited for something to happen, nothing ever would have happened. It’s not about undertaking some massive thing, it’s that every week you’re doing something to push yourself out there.

Beyonce and Solange did not attend their father’s wedding

CULTURE

THE WORD

Did you watch “Life Is But a Dream,� the documentary about how Beyonce became the megastar she is? The biggest takeaway was how rigid of a father and manager Mathew Knowles was to his daughters. After Beyonce and Destiny’s Child lost on “Star Search,� he quit his job to oversee the act and developed a pop “boot camp.� One daily task he made them do was to jog while singing,

in order to develop the stamina needed to perform in arenas. Mathew Knowles is why Beyonce is Beyonce.

But that doesn’t mean she has to go to his wedding. Knowles married Gena Avery in Atlanta last

made it impossible for them to attend,� Mathew Knowles told TMZ.com. This snub further solidifies rumors that Beyonce is on the outs with her dad. Beyonce famously fired him as her manager in 2011. The fact that Knowles fathered a son named Nixon while still married to his first wife and Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles, also probably doesn’t help family get-togethers.

Sunday, but Beyonce and Solange did not attend. “Unfortunately, Beyonce and Solange had previous engagements which

Why is he blaming her for their divorce? Does he want us to feel sorry for him because he was caught being a jerk? Also, come on, Nigella

‘100 percent real’ and 100 percent ‘Drunk’ ‘History’ lesson. The creators of “Drunk History” discuss their snobby approach to Internet comedy and what drew Jack Black to the project. “Drunk History” began as a short film for Derek Waters’ comedy act, and that’s all it was supposed to be. “Its only intent was to be for a live show I was doing,” Waters reminisces. “It was my own show and I was trying to show videos. I figured it was better to

Black is back (along with other all-stars) “Drunk History” premieres Tuesday at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central. Look for Bob Odenkirk as Richard Nixon and Jack Black as Elvis Presley. Go online for a full Q&A with Waters and Konner, inset. / RON BATZDORFF

make people laugh than to put it online.” But it grew into an Internet sensation picked up by Funny or Die and now, seven years later, Waters and co-creator/ director Jeremy Konner are bringing their “Drunk History” to Comedy Central. Waters says his initial reluctance to even put the videos online came from how people used to view Internet comedy. “It was right when the Internet was being judged by hits over comedy. I’m still a snob, but I was a bigger one back then,” he says. “Nothing really happened until we put it on the Internet and it got on

the front page of YouTube and then Jack Black saw it and said, ‘I always wanted to be Ben Franklin.’ And that was that. You can’t really turn down Jack Black. Why would you?” Gathering comedic friends and notable fans, Waters and Konner film drunken narrators as they tell enthusiastic historic tales warped by inebriation, brought to life by Alist celebrities with truly hilarious results. While it’s hard to imagine that the participants are actually that drunk, Waters assures

us that everything, even the vomiting, is the result of unscripted excess. “It’s 100 percent real,” says Waters. “The narrators are completely drunk and the re-enactors are completely sober. We’re trying as hard as we can to tell you about history. It just so happens that it’s slightly altered.” But Konner says the narrators plan enough in advance that they at least try to get their stories straight. But that never happens. “We absolutely allow the stories to take their

course,” he says. “We go in with a plan and the plan goes out the window immediately. What’s been funny and interesting in this process is that people know the story very well. They do the research — which they should — they brush up and read over their books. We think we know how the story is going to go, but no!”

Taking on stories about Elvis, Nixon, Nader, Lincoln and more, “Drunk History” hosts recurring guests like Jack Black, along with A-listers like Dave Grohl, Bob Odenkirk, Lisa Bonet, Bill Hader, Aubrey Plaza, and Owen and Luke Wilson. •

“I knew some of them,” says Waters, pictured above, “but we had a casting director and we would dream a little dream. There’s no real way to say how this all happened, because I still don’t know. I’ve often thought I’m in the Make a Wish Foundation and I’m about to get really bad news.”

Gru kills the Lone Ranger Box oďŹƒce. Yet another megablockbuster (somewhat unfairly) bit the dust this weekend. The diminutive minions of “Despicable Me 2â€? upstaged Johnny Depp at the weekend movie box office. The animated sequel hauled in an impressive $82.5 million in the United States and Canada from Friday through Sunday, more than double the weak $29.4 million for Walt Disney’s big-budget Western “The Lone Ranger,â€? which stars Depp as the masked man’s Native American partner Tonto. The two films began their box office battle on Tuesday night to grab moviegoers ahead of Thursday’s Independence Day holiday. From their debuts through Sunday, “Despicable Me 2â€? earned $142.1 million, while

“Lone Ranger� grossed just $48.9 million, below preopening forecasts for at least $60 million. Families lifted “Despicable Me 2,� which finished far above industry projections and achieved the biggest-ever five-day opening for an animated film. In the new film, Gru is a single father to three adopted daughters and becomes a spy for an anti-villain league.

their slapstick antics and song-and-dance numbers. “The Lone Ranger� cost Disney $225 million to produce plus at least $100 million for marketing. The poor opening raises the possibility that the movie could saddle the media giant with a loss on the film, which is an action remake of a 1930s radio show and a 1950s TV series. “Obviously this is disappointing,� said Dave Hollis, vice president of distribution for Walt Disney Studios. “It obviously didn’t

connect with audiences, and it’s frustrating for us. We felt we had everything in place for it to succeed.� “The Lone Ranger� added $24.3 million from international theaters during the weekend, bringing its global take to $73.2 million through Sunday, according to Disney. Hollis said it was still “a little too early to tell just yet� whether the film might eventually be profitable, with the bulk of its international openings still to come. Lifting Disney’s spirits is its hit animated prequel “Monsters University,� from the company’s Pixar studio, which finished the weekend in fourth place, grabbing $19.6 million. Its global total topped $400 million through Sunday. The female buddy comedy “The Heat,� starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, took the No. 3 slot pulling in $25 million, while the Brad Pitt zombie thriller “World War Z� earned $18.2 million to finish in fifth place.

No. 2: Focus on the ‘we,’ not the ‘me.’ I built my business as a spiritual teacher, author and speaker because of my deep desire to create community and engage people in a transformational conversation. I believe that even my Twitter followers can feel my deep desire to serve the larger “we� rather than serve my ego’s “me, me, me.� I’ve learned that the best way for me

Often people begin their careers inspired by a mission only to get bogged down by daily tasks and practical steps that snuff out the spark of passion. Counteract it by consciously taking inspired action daily. Back each mundane task with the same fierce passion that ignited your work. When you infuse your passion into the present moment, you invite the force of energy to work through you — and, in effect, you can expand time. Things get done, deadlines get met and your work has an impact. Make inspiration your business partner.

What’s the real cost of lighting up? Work health. The cost of smoking doesn’t end with the ever-increasing price of a pack of cigarettes. No matter how you look at it, smoking is expensive — beyond the actual pack of smokes, treatment expenses and healthcare for smokers often break the bank. To combat some of these expenditures, there have been national campaigns to either reduce or fully outlaw public smoking. A new study from Ohio State University shows another way that smoking has become a

burden: through those little bits of time smokers use to light up. According to the June study, employing smokers will cost employers upward of $5,800 per smoker, per year. The costs due to loss of productivity because of periodic smoke breaks is more than $3,000 per smoker, per year. Attorney Gregg Salka, of the law firm Fisher & Phillip, represents employers who are concerned that employing smokers is bad for business. As a representative for the employers, what are your biggest concerns about employing smokers? Employers that have employees who take breaks in increments of five to 20

minutes throughout the day; if those employees are hourly, they need to be compensated. So I’m assuming that would decrease productivity just as someone who’s browsing Amazon or posting on Facebook. Is there anything else you’d like people to know about smoking and workplace productivity? I think [employers] should really treat all their employees the same, regardless of whether they’re smokers or nonsmokers or Facebookers or nonFacebookers. An individual who is taking a break away from working time for whatever reason should be treated and disciplined the same.

In a world where time is money, smoke breaks can quickly add up. / THINKSTOCK

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Research Study Are you 18 to 45 years old and experiencing these symptoms? U Difficulty Paying Attention U Delay Doing Things UÊConstantly Moving Around U Difficulty Planning U Acting Without Thinking Things Through

Solutions

What are some of the direct actions employers are planning to take with regard to the costliness of accommodating smokers and their breaks? The best bet for employers is probably to institute some sort of a wellness program to reduce the

overall likelihood that individuals will continue to smoke. Your costs will go down because your employees will be healthier, and they’ll presumably be smoking less and working more. There are also subsidies that are available under the Affordable Care Act

in certain situations for employers that implement such wellness programs, so that’s another way to recoup some of the costs that are associated with smoking issues.

Afford due process Re: ‘Martin didn’t start it’ (Metro, July 3-7) I wonder what trial letter writer Diane Ives has been watching in order to come up with an opinion as ridiculous as the one from the holiday edition. Ms. Ives must have it in her head that George Zimmerman is guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin no matter what the evidence shows. Multiple (prosecution) witnesses have said Zimmerman never changed his story and an eyewitness backed up his account, yet Diane somehow thinks George Zimmerman is lying because he was following Trayvon. Keep an open mind, Diane, because this trial has shown why Zimmerman wasn’t im-

Saints come marching in I would like to applaud Pope Francis and the Catholic Church for elevating Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII to the revered and holy state of sainthood. Pope John XXIII sought to bring reforms into the church, while John Paul II sought to bring himself closer to the people in order to restore peace to a world so severely divided by hate. FREDERICK R.

SPORTS On the way back

Jeter on base three times in rehab game The rehab clock for Derek Jeter began Saturday night, and the appearance in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, went well, according to the reports manager Joe Girardi received. “I watched his at-bats, and they felt pretty good,” Girardi said. Jeter went 1-for2 with two walks and one run scored while serving as the designated hitter in his second appearance yesterday. “I think what you have to do is see how he’s moving around, how he’s responded physically playing every day,” Girardi said. “You have to build him up. He has to be able to play more than five innings once every two days. So I think we’ll go through this, this week I’m sure.” LARRY FLEISHER

Rivera blows save one day after All-Star nod MLB. The Yankees just missed out on a chance to extend their winning streak to seven.

Mariano Rivera blew his second save of the season yesterday. GETTY IMAGES

Mariano Rivera has blown 75 regular season saves in his illustrious career, and since he has successfully saved 637, the rare instances of mortality come with a degree of disbelief. Yesterday was one of those instances. Rivera blew his second save of the season, allowing a go-ahead, tworun home run to Adam Jones with one out in the top of the ninth inning, as the Yankees saw their season-high six-game winning streak end with a 2-1 loss to the Orioles. “You don’t see it happen very often,” manager

Joe Girardi said, repeating the line he often uses when Rivera doesn’t get the save. “That’s the bottom line. He’s been so good again for us this year. It’s only his second one in 31 chances. He’s just been really, really good, and whenever it happens, you’re kind of shocked; that’s how good he is.” Jones stunned the crowd of 40,218 with a drive that easily cleared the left-center field wall. “I wanted it to be more in, [but it] didn’t get in enough,” Rivera said of the pitch to Jones. “That’s a professional hitter, you know, and you make a mistake and they will hit the ball. It wasn’t really a mistake, just good hitting.”

MLB. Mets earn series win in Milwaukee behind Hefner gem Jeremy Hefner earned his third straight win thanks to a seven-inning, one-run performance in Milwaukee. Josh Satin was again the hitting hero as he drove in a run and scored a run in the 2-1 victory yesterday. Bobby Parnell picked up his 15th save with a four-out performance. After struggling to an 0-6 start, Hefner has become one of the most reliable arms in the Mets’ rotation. He has now thrown four straight quality starts, and he has lowered his ERA from 5.00 on May 18 to 3.39 through yesterday — second on the team among starters. He turned in his best outing yet against the Brewers, surrendering just two hits and striking out eight batters. Satin, playing first

No platoon Josh Satin continued his hot hitting yesterday, but manager Terry Collins made it clear he is not platooning him with Ike Davis, despite Satin getting the start against lefty Tom Gorzelanny. Satin is batting .382 in 55 at-bats in the majors. •

“We said since we talked about Ike coming back [that] Josh Satin deserves some at-bats,” Collins said. “I think he’s earned them.”

base as Ike Davis rested, went 3-of-4, while David Wright and Marlon Byrd were each 2-for-4 ahead of him. The Mets improved to 15-15 since the start of June with the win.
