Internet Week‘s Webutante Ball, which happens tonight at Marquee, is well-known for being one of New York’s biggest tech parties, but it also functions as the perfect pickup spot for Silicon Alley singles. Founder Richard Blakeley said unlike other maledominated tech events, the Ball’s gender ratio is even. “Most tech parties in New York are after-work drinks at a bar where you come with your laptop on your back, sweating, and stand awkwardly in a cor-

ner with a bunch of other guys,” said Blakeley. But at the Webutante Ball, tech scenesters dress in tuxedos and cocktail dresses. Add a DJ and freeflowing booze and it’s no surprise that the party becomes a hot spot for young people in tech looking to exchange phone numbers — and not just to network. Lisa Besserman moved to Argentina in 2012 to found Startup Buenos Aires, but that hasn’t stopped her from attending every Webutante Ball since 2009. “I was single for the first couple of them and I always walked away with a few numbers,” she said. Graphic designer Nick McGlynn admitted to getting lucky at a Webutante Ball. “It’s a prom for tech

“It’s so laid-back and you’re with like-minded people. It’s really great to meet people you have a connection with.” Lisa Besserman nerds, and I mean, what better place to hook up than at a prom?” he asked. At least one couple is walking down the aisle thanks to the geek chic bash. “I famously introduced two very unlikely people to each other at a Webutante Ball — and they are getting married,” said journalist Julia Allison. Every Webutante Ball features a king and queen, and couples are encouraged to strike prom poses in their photos. Alison Flood, director of

business development at ICED Media, helped organize the 2010 Webutante Ball, but couldn’t flirt because of some game-killing guests: her parents. “I’m not bringing my dad this year, so who knows what can happen? It’s anyone’s game,” she said. Tickets are available at TheWebutanteBall.com, but not at the door. ANDREA PARK @andreapark

An Occupy Wall Street protester convicted of assaulting a police officer during a demonstration was sentenced on Monday to a 90-day jail sentence. A jury on May 5 found Cecily McMillan guilty of elbowing a police officer, Grantley Bovell, in the eye as he was attempting to arrest her. McMillan, 25, was arrested along with scores of others on March 17, 2012 at a demonstration marking the protest movement’s six-month anniversary in New York City. McMillan’s lawyer argued his client was reacting to someone groping one of her breasts, according to accounts of the trial. Prosecutors said that claim was a fabrication. The 90-day sentence, followed by five years’ probation, was handed down by New York State Court Justice Ronald Zweibel. McMillan had faced a potential sentence of as much as seven years in prison.

Embattled Congressman Michael Grimm made his first appearance in a Brooklyn court on Monday since he was indicted in late April with perjury and tax fraud charges. Grimm sat in court while prosecutors disclosed that they have some 7,000 pages of documents and 8,000 emails as evidence against him.

The next hearing is scheduled for July 21. Last month, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York unsealed a 20-count indictment on charges for mail, wire and health care fraud, as well as filing false tax returns, perjury, and obstruction of an official proceeding and employing unauthorized immigrants.

“We’re going to fight tooth and nail until I am fully exonerated,” Grimm said shortly after the indictment was revealed. He gave no comment to the press after Monday’s hearing. Grimm represents Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn and is up for re-election this fall. CHESTER JESUS SORIA

NEW YORK

After missing a year due to sequestration, Fleet Week has returned to New York. Now in its 26th year, the annual celebration of military sea services embraces its mission of lighting up the city that never sleeps with military band concerts, aerial demonstrations, sports tournaments, parades and showcases of the latest maritime technology. As always, the public is invited for guided tours of docked ships. This year,

three U.S. Navy and two U.S. Coast Guard vessels are open, including the Harpers Ferry-class dock landing USS Oak Hill, the “keeper of New York Harbor” cutter Katherine Walker and the guided-missile cruiser USS Cole, which gained notoriety during the suicide attack in October 2000 that killed 17 U.S. Navy crew members and injured 39. Festivities kicked off Monday in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, where the 45-person Navy Band Northeast “Pops Ensemble” performed pop, jazz and patriotic favorites. Today, they cross the Hudson to Manhattan for an afternoon performance in Bryant Park. A solemn re-enlistment and promotion ceremony takes place at the 9/11

Memorial & Museum on Friday, the first day it’s open to the public. This year’s ceremony commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument on Riverside Drive. The Navy’s most valuable resource, its service men and women, numbering near 1,500 this year, also get some welldeserved R & R. For many, Fleet Week marks a return home; for others, it’s a highly anticipated first visit to the city of legend. Metro asked eight service members to share what they’re looking forward to seeing and doing this week in NYC. MIKE DUNPHY @metronewyork letters@metro.us

Brooklyn. Police kill man wielding scissors Officers responding to a call about a stabbing on Sunday shot and killed a man who allegedly lunged at them. Two NYPD officers rushed to 60 Clarkson Ave. after they received a call that a woman had been stabbed in Flatbush. Cops arrived at the building at 10:30 p.m. where they found the victim bleeding from the shoulder in the lobby before going to the second floor, where they found the suspected assailant. Once inside the apart-

ment, the 39-year-old male charged the officers with scissors in hand, according to cops. Authorities said the officers then pulled out their guns and shot the suspect, striking the man’s hand and torso and killing him at the scene. EMS took the victim to Kings County Hospital Center, where she was listed as in stable condition. The officers were taken to Maimonides Medical Center and treated for tinnitus.

Ground zero

“These seizures and arrests demonstrate that NYC is ground zero of heroin distribution networks supplying the northeast, as well as being the prime market Mexican drug traďŹƒckers are using to earn proďŹ t from the sale of poison.â€? DEA Special Agent James J. Hunt

Police and federal agents intercepted more than 50 pounds of heroin and 20 pounds of cocaine, busting a drug ring that supplied what authorities described as the source for massive amounts of heroin sold throughout the northeast. Investigators made the bust last week mid-delivery between the Bronx and Connecticut, where police said the heroin has double its street value. The confiscated heroin is thought to be worth $11 million. Two men were arrested in connection to the ring: Edualin Tapia and Guill-

ermo Esteban Margarin, who were seen entering an apartment off Orloff Avenue in the Bronx suspected of being a heroin mill. On May 16, the two men drove to Hartford, Connecticut, with nearly 22 pounds of the heroin and walked into an apartment with another box of nearly 29 pounds of heroin. A joint task force of federal Drug Enforcement Agency officers, NYPD detectives and New york State police investigators entered the apartment while the suspects prepared to dump a white substance down a sink. Both men were charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and conspiracy. They are being detained in Connecticut pending extradition.

Webster. Dictionary adds words ‘selfie,’ ‘tweep’ and ‘catfish’ “Selfie,” “tweep” and “turducken” were among more than 150 new words and definitions added to the 2014 updated MerriamWebster’s Collegiate Dictionary, the publishing company said on Monday. The additions to the U.S. dictionary reflect the growing influence of technology and social networking, the company said. “So many of these new words show the impact of online connectivity to our lives and livelihoods,” Peter Sokolowski, an editor for Merriam-Webster said in a statement. “Tweep, selfie and hashtag refer to the ways we communicate and share as individuals. Words such as crowdfunding, gamification and big data show that the Internet has changed business in profound ways.” One new entry is “steampunk,” defined as “science fiction dealing with 19th-century societies

The deal highlights AT&T’s pressing need for fresh avenues of growth beyond the maturing U.S. cellular business, which has become increasingly competitive. The combination with DirecTV, the No. 1 U.S. satellite TV provider with 20 million customers, would beef up Dallas-based AT&T’s packages of cellular, broadband, TV and fixed-line phone services.

The Kremlin announced on Monday that President Vladimir Putin had ordered Russian forces near Ukraine back to their bases, but NATO and the United States said they saw no sign of a pullback and Moscow had failed to carry out such promises before. Moscow has massed tens of thousands of troops near the border regions where proRussian separatists have declared independent states, and Kiev and its Western allies fear they could be used to invade in support of the rebels. Ukraine holds a presidential election on Sunday, which Western countries consider a crucial event in resolving the country’s crisis. The United States and EU have threatened to ramp up sanctions on Moscow if it interferes in the vote. REUTERS

Money matters. Credit card mistakes most people make Misinformation has made our knowledge of credit cards a little muddy, and therefore, there are several common mistakes most credit card holders don’t know they’re making. Here are the top ones:

effect. Too many hard inquiries on your credit report can negatively impact your scores, which will make you seem desperate for more credit. Instead, apply for a credit card that you’re confident you’ll get approved for.

Closing old credit cards Most think that once they pay off a credit card, it’s in their best interest to close it. Closing the card can impact your credit utilization ratio, however, which can negatively affect your credit score.

Applying for multiple cards Opening new credit cards is one way to improve your credit scores because it adds to your total available credit. That being said, applying for multiple credit cards at once could end up having the reverse

Tip

Don’t ignore monthly credit card statements Verify that you made all purchases yourself, and report any unknown transactions to your bank as possible fraud. This is key to protecting yourself from any fraudulent use.

Maxing out credit cards Even though there are circumstances when you may need to use most of your credit, it’s best to pay the balance as quickly as you can. If you don’t, it can have a negative impact on your credit scores. Similar to closing old credit cards, maxing out your credit cards raises your credit utilization ratio.

Getting the right professor to recommend you College. Here’s how to make the recommendation process go as smoothly as possible. Thinking about applying to grad school this fall? Now is the perfect time to start thinking about which professors you would like to ask for recommendation letters. These simple steps can make the entire process easier for everyone.

1

Ask someone who knows you well: “My biggest tip is ‘Make sure the professor really knows

you,’” says Julie Dodd, a journalism professor at the University of Florida who often blogs about jobs and internships. Dodd also points out, “You are kind of auditioning [for the recommendation] while you are in class.” Make it a point to talk to your instructor about your other interests; don’t be shy about mentioning your extracurriculars or your work-study positions. Dodd recently recommended a student who had taken a class with her while he was a sophomore, yet made it a point to regularly stop by her office for two years afterward. When he asked her for a job recommendation, “I was really invested in

him,” she says. “I wanted him to get a job.”

2

Do this

Ask in person, not over email Schedule a meeting with your professor so that you can talk about the schools you are applying to, your goals and why you want to go to grad school. Making a request for a recommendation over email or just after class can seem too casual and rushed. Dodd adds that you

should also tell your professor why you would like a recommendation from him or her specifically. “Saying something such as, ‘I think that as a student, you really saw me as a writer,’ lets the professor know why you’re making the request,” she says.

Remember that you are asking for a favor Ask nicely and send a thank-you note afterward. (Also, be sure to let your instructor know which school you picked; don’t leave them wondering.) LAKSHMI GANDHI @lakshmigandhi lakshmi.gandhi@metro.us

Rob Kardashian has a big surprise for you Rob Kardashian has stepped out for the first time in weeks to get to Europe in time for Kimye’s wedding. And let’s just say that it was a er, um, huge surprise to see him again. Since stepping out, Rob Kardashian has trended on Twitter, and people are busy commenting on the reality star’s weight gain. But we guess someone had to mention the elephant (poor choice of words, I know) in the room.

Can’t make it to the drive-in? Invite Amber Rose over!

Amber Rose (remind me, why is she famous?) wore what looked like a flat screen TV as shades for the Billboard Music Awards Sunday night. Looking at her makes me want to eat popcorn while watching a chick flick on those shades. Maybe that could be a way for her to get into the movie biz. If you can’t be on the screen, then be the screen! Just saying.

Talking points

members range in age from 18 to 20. They aren’t the singing and dancing type of boy band; these dudes rock out! And the catchy lyrics to their single, “She Looks So Perfect,” could be confused with 1D’s “What Makes You Beautiful,” if it didn’t have a refrain about American Apparel underwear.

Thicke’s “Get Her Back” is quite likely about Paula Patton.

Thicke still wants his wife back Robin Thicke also made a statement while he accepted a Billboard Award for “Blurred Lines.” “Most importantly, I’d like to thank my wife for her love and support, and for putting up with me all these years,” he said. The same night he performed a new song called “Get Her Back,” he also dedicated it to his soon-to-be ex-wife, Paula Patton. But Paula, seriously, can’t you just take him back already, so the rest of us don’t have to watch him

try so hard? It gets pretty tiring.

Timberlake hates Donald Sterling, too Just like everyone else in the entire world, Justin Timberlake is not very fond of Donald Sterling. He made that very clear Sunday night when he accepted a Top Artist Billboard Award via satellite. “I want to thank everyone on Earth, except Donald Sterling.” We want to thank you, Justin, for being awesome!

See more at www.metro.us Best-selling author Emily Giffin is known for telling a good love story. Whether it’s about falling for a best friend’s fiance in “Something Borrowed” or the gnawing feeling of wondering “what if” about someone you let go long ago in “Love The One You’re With,” Giffin has made a career of exploring the complications of love and lust. Her new book, “The One & Only” is no exception. We got Giffin to spill details, plus she tells us what she really thinks about love. The setting for “The One & Only” is completely different from your past books. How did you get into the sports culture of Texas? I have been passionate about college athletics since I was a little girl and there are few worlds more colorful than Texas football. I actually spent some time in Dallas and visited SMU’s spring training. I also had several coaches, including Hall-of-Famer Jim Boeheim, read early drafts to make sure that the character of Coach Clive Carr and the story, particularly the NCAAinvestigation subplot, felt authentic. That being said, the sports background is just the setting for the story, which, at its core, is centered on a young woman dealing with difficult, important life choices and the unresolved feelings that ultimately complicate them. You don’t need to love football to enjoy this book, any more than you have to love boxing to watch “Rocky.”

How did the idea for the book come to you initially? All of my books generally begin with a core theme or idea. For “The One & Only,” I wanted to explore the idea of unconventional love. I think if we’re honest, the way most of us think about romantic love is pretty narrowly defined, and there’s a tendency for us to dismiss, or at least feel uncomfortable with, anything outside of those

seemingly impossible love. Do you believe love conquers all in real life? This is definitely the “big question” in the book, and I’m really happy with the way “The One & Only” ended — it felt right for the characters and true to the story as a whole. But what happens in the book is just that. ... a conclusion to one fictional story and not necessarily a reflection of my personal beliefs. Honestly, I’m not really

EMILY GIFFIN The best-selling author spills about her new book, plus debates fictional love stories versus real ones.

THE AUTHOR’S REAL THOUGHTS ON LOVE definitions. With this story, I really wanted to portray a relationship that, while difficult for some to understand and accept at first, is beautiful and idyllic in its own right. I also wanted to consider the question of whether true love can really conquer all, especially in the face of judgment and scrutiny from those outside of it. Without giving anything away, your books have a common theme of

sure whether love can conquer all in real life. ... I like to believe it can! The intricacies of female friendships are something else you write a lot about in your books, and this one is no exception. Why are adding these types of relationships to your stories important to you? My books are all relationship-driven. I write about mothers and daughters, husbands and wives and,

of course, friendships. Friendships are integral to who we are as people — and I think they are particularly important to women. But even our closest friendships can be complicated and layered. The simple, easy ones aren’t always the most worthwhile ones. What is a real-life love story you love?

Kate and William. I believe in their sweet happily ever after. But the pretty, fairy tale ones aren’t the only ones I’m drawn to. I think there is great beauty in relationships that go through really rough, dark times — and still survive. EMILY LAURENCE @EmLaurence

Repertoire. There are so many Fassbinder films for one to see Rainer Werner Fassbinder isn’t the most prolific filmmaker there ever was, but over 40 films in under about 14 years is nothing to sneeze at. The filmography of the German filmmaker, who died after ingesting a toxic drug cocktail at only 37, is tough to surmount, not only due to volume, but because of how bleak and rigorous his vision is. His films relentlessly explored sadism; his world view could be summed up in the title of his debut, 1969’s “Love is Colder Than Death.� Through June 1, Lincoln Center will burn through part one of their complete Fassbinder retrospective. (Part two begins in November.) Tonight

We caught up with the last artists standing as they prepared to sing their hearts out for the competition’s finale.

What was Marlon Brando like on “The Godfatherâ€?? This might sound like heresy to some: More right for “The Godfather,â€? that part, was the guy who starred in “The Sopranos.â€? [James GandolďŹ ni] was more willing to play the pr—. Brando was more heroic. On the second day of ďŹ lming, there was a makeup guy who came in the dressing room, saying, “He’s playing this like a kindly old uncle.â€? He was more romantic. But Brando was wonderful to work with. His scene with Al Pacino, he had a big sign in a tree. He was reading his lines. [Laughs] He was a master at reading those lines all over the place.

Interview. Robert Duvall is as rambunctious in real life as he is in “A Night in Old Mexico.� Robert Duvall may be 82, but you wouldn’t know it. He’s still energetic, personable and not afraid to speak his mind. He’s promoting his new film, “A Night in Old Mexico,� in which he plays an oldtimer whose land has been taken from him by a company. Instead of moping, he heads out on the town with the grandson (Jeremy Irvine) he has just met. This screenplay was written 25 years ago. Bill Wittliff wrote it. He wrote the screen adaptation for “Lonesome Dove,� but he had written this as an original screenplay before. So when we finished “Lonesome Dove,� he said, “Let’s go do this.� I said, “It’s too soon. [Laughs] I’ve got to get a little older first.

that would be too laborious. Tiresome. It’s a game, like kids playing house. It’s adults playing house for money. It’s makebelieve. You went to a New York theater school at the same time as Dustin Homan, Gene Hackman and James Caan. Do you still hang out with them often? No, no. I don’t see most of those guys. The country’s so big. One guy I keep up with is Jimmy Caan. Periodically I see Wilford Brimley. He used to be a bodyguard for Howard Hughes. Interesting guy. He sings jazz with a band. He sings very well. He puts out albums. You put them on and people go, “That’s not Mel Torme. Who is it?â€? I say, “It’s Wilford Brimley.â€?

Early in your career you were in the 1969 ďŹ lm of “True Grit.â€? What was John Wayne like? Somebody said we didn’t get along. That’s not true at all. We got along. It was the director [Henry Hathaway]. He said to an actor, “When I say ‘action,’ tense up, goddammit!â€? Can you imagine your boss telling you that? It’s crazy.

What drew you to this character? He was just a nice character. He’s a good character — a real Texas character that Whitliff understands.

Interview. Griffin Dunne leads the ‘The Discoverers’ Griffin Dunne was the star and producer of one of the definitive views of scary old pre-Giuliani New York: Martin Scorsese’s “After Hours� from 1985, in which he plays a data processor who heads to SoHo for a date and winds up almost being murdered by an angry mob. That would never happen today. “You could lie down in the street and sleep there now,� Dunne says of the neighborhood, now perpetually mobbed by clothes-hungry tourists. He says he was recently looking at a SoHo building only to belatedly realize it was one of the key sets in that film. “It’s changed so much. A spooky loft is now a Gap or a Timberland.� “After Hours,� regrettably, has been one of only a few times Dunne has played lead. He does it again in the serio-comic indie “The Discoverers,� in which he portrays a historian forced to drag his two kids to a historical recreation camp to rescue his grieving father. Dunne has done his share of supporting work; most recently, he was in “Dallas Buyers Club.� But this role is more than just a change of pace. “It’s great to have a sense of continuity with a character,� he says. “With [supporting roles], you do your part in four days or whatever it is.

production already moving before you and will go on after you leave.� The role is reminiscent of his “After Hours� character: the exasperated glutton for punishment, although he feels this one is more mature. “That comes from having a guy who’s an academic in that small world, who’s written a book that is intellectual and overly long in a culture where there are popular history books,� he says. “Being a filmmaker in a changing medium wasn’t that big a leap for me. I could draw on that fear of being older and out-of-date and having to reinvent yourself to keep moving forward.�

resort can bring to mind an ecological eyesore with no direct connection to the paradise or its inhabitants. It’s the place where the locals who work there are forced into Hawaiian shirts while they sling frozen drinks to pale visitors noshing on chicken tenders by the pool. However, there is a sea change occurring in the realm of resorts: Smart hotel chains have realized that their savvy, informed customers are rebelling against homogenous experiences. Enter the Andaz boutique chain, a subsidiary of Hyatt. Andaz works with the community, using local architects, artists and chefs to fashion their hotels and cuisine to make for a more authentic experience, while also retaining the element of luxury and familiarity that Hyatt guests expect. Andaz bears little resemblance to a behemoth resort chain whose lone architectural or stylistic distinction is the fact that it could be anywhere. The latest Andaz property to enter the travel market is the Andaz Peninsula Papagayo, nestled between the Gulf of Papagayo and the blue waters of Culebra Bay in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It was designed by Costa Rican architect Ron-

OSTRA ANDAZ

ald Zurcher and is decorated with the work of local artist Salvador Odre. The resort’s private beach offers activities such as top-notch paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkeling. The staff at Andaz Peninsula Papagayo take pride in where they work; the beautiful Culebra Bay and its surrounding rainforest are the focal point of the hotel’s decor rather than a side note. Everything is open — the rooms, the dining areas, the walkways between rooms and the path to the beach all let you experience paradise. And if it’s not open, it’s enclosed in clear glass. With the resort’s open concept, you can take in monkeys chattering in the background as well as the sweet smell of the rich earth. It was especially nice to see open-air spaces utilized in the hotel’s Onda Spa, where trained masseuses work out the kinks while a natural

breeze tickles your back. The same philosophy is applied to the chic, modern hotel rooms, which encourage you to shower with the glass door open so you are one with nature, rather than shut off from it. When you sit to dine at any of the property’s three restaurants, you’re encouraged to be outside. Over tapas at Chao Pescao, you can sip on artisanal cocktails on the deck while vines sway above you. At the more fine-dining restaurant, Ostra, the walls are open so you are always looking out to the sea. Casual dining spot Rio Bhongo is surrounded by an infinity pool and bay breezes. And instead of the trees being stripped and paved for your walk down to the private beach, you nimbly meander through the jungle. This resort is paradise, experienced.

Advice. One mom makes the case for an older, time-tested and approved parenting style Endless pressure to check off items on a lengthy list of short-term goals is the hallmark of modern parenting. Therefore, it has to go — we need to go retro. Retro parenting doesn’t refer to the trend of opting out of the workforce and going strictly domestic; it means standing firm against modern parenting pressure without the reassurance of immediate results. This is no easy task when it feels like you’re risking your kid’s entire future if he or she fails to score 100 percent on a spelling test or misses a ballet class. Moms need to resolve to think in the long term and resist the clamor to pile more activities into kids’ schedules. Resolve to ignore the disapproving raised eyebrow when someone learns you give your kids chores rather than flashcard drills. Because a sense of humor helps when going against the status

quo, check out “The Three Martini Playdate.� Although the book’s tone is tongue-in-cheek, it offers advice for parents to teach children practical skills actually required for adulthood, such as manners, cooperation, chores and, in keeping with the title, cocktail-making for adults. The original retro-parenting work, “The Hurried

Child� is also a worthwhile read. Among other things, David Elkind counseled against the full schedules of enrichment activities that parents push on their children to build up their college application rÊsumÊs. A rÊsumÊ of boutique experiences probably doesn’t teach the child much about real life and likely fails to impress these

days anyway. The modern standout application for college comes from the kid who built a summer lawn-mowing business or babysitting service. Constant accomplishment-reaching can make us feel like successful parents, but these books show you how slow down and parent with substance. LESLIE LOFTIS

Downstream IRS follows detriments the law Re: ‘Salmoning is safer for cyclists’ (Metro, May 16-18) I couldn’t agree more with letter writer Jack Dickenson. As a young child first learning to navigate the streets of a small town on my bicycle, I was taught by my dad that you always ride your bicycle AGAINST the traffic! I want to see what’s coming at me and if it’s an out-of-control vehicle (for whatever reason). I want to be able to ditch the bike and dive for my life! You ride with the traffic and you’re a sitting duck! As for the disorderly conduct charge against Baldwin — the cops created the “problem” and shouldn’t have arrested him. He’s a star; he’s going to create a crowd no matter what.

Re: ‘Would Dems be OK with the IRS on their backs?’ (Metro, May 16-18) Why do you keep publishing letters that have clear misstatements of fact? Letter writer Ron Shelton seems to think that the IRS only reviewed right-wing applications. Not true at all. Many progressives were also reviewed, but Rep. Issa ONLY complained about the Tea Party ones. Also, the progressives want clear and open rules, while the Republicans want special deals. KEVIN DOWD, VIA EMAIL

The story leading up to Game 2 focused on the man in net for the Canadiens. But the Rangers’ AllStar goaltender stole the headlines coming out of Game 2. Henrik Lundqvist made 40 stops as the Rangers beat Montreal, 3-1, to take a commanding 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference finals. Carey Price was ruled out of net for the remainder of the series for the Canadiens, with Dustin

Tokarski getting the start. Tokarski was effective, if not remarkable. The Canadiens were the aggressors early on, with Max Pacioretty giving them the early lead after chest bumping the puck into the net off a bad clearance by Lundqvist. But Ryan McDonagh answered back 17 seconds later when his slapshot deflected off a defender to even the score. Rick Nash scored the go-ahead goal with 1:02 left in the first. Martin St. Louis, a day after his mother’s funeral, netted a goal in the second period to make it 3-1. MARK OSBORNE @MetroNYSports

Reilly puts a ring on his finger — forever NFL. After losing ďŹ ve rings, Jets draft pick Trevor Reilly decided to just get his wife’s initials tattooed on him. It’s common to see an NFL player with a tattoo — in fact it’s a rare thing to see a player who isn’t inked up. But Jets seventh-round pick Trevor Reilly’s one and only tattoo is a matter of necessity. Married since Sept. 4, 2011, Reilly recently got a tattoo of his wife’s initials on his left hand where his wedding band would go. The letters “JKRâ€? for Jessica Kristie Reilly are prominent — a necessity because of his own absent-minded ways, he says. Turns out, he misplaced his wedding ring on more than one occasion. “This is so I don’t have to wear a ring anymore, I got my wife’s initials,â€? Reilly said. “I’ve been against tattoos my whole life, but [I] started losing wedding rings.â€? But the number of times he’s lost his ring is the shocking part. “Five, and I bent one one time because I forgot to take it off. I told my wife, ‘I’m getting tatted up,’ and she said, ‘Fine by me,’â€?

Reilly was a standout at Utah and is already married with two daughters, Nelli and Shayn. He has the initials of his wife Jessica tattooed, inset, on his ring ďŹ nger. / GETTY IMAGES, KRISTIAN DYER Reilly’s rĂŠsumĂŠ Reilly was a member of the high school class of 2006, but is getting to the NFL four years later than most. •

The top player in Rivals. com’s high school class of 2006 was Percy Harvin, who’s played ďŹ ve

NFL seasons already. •

Matthew Staord (No. 6) and Tim Tebow (No. 22) were also in Rivals’ top 25 recruits that year.

•

Reilly originally committed to Texas Tech.

Reilly said. “I told her before I got married, ‘Don’t buy anything nice.’ She bought me some $50 ring. I said, ‘Perfect. I will probably lose it.’ Three months later, it was gone. Then I went on eBay and started buying $3 rings.� It is the latest chapter in the book of Reilly, a life full of ups and downs. He lost his younger

brother in a motorcycle accident when both were younger. Then two years ago, his daughter Shayn was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Even though she is now in the clear, he admits it took a toll on him. He also played the entirety of the 2012 season for Utah on a torn ACL, an injury he said no longer impacts him. After the first day of rookie minicamp on Friday, head coach Rex Ryan said Reilly “really fit the profile we’re looking for.� Reilly was the last of 12 picks for the Jets in the May 8 NFL draft, but he is ready to step in and contribute right away, and he seems tailor-made for special teams. Ryan compared him to another Jets player who succeeded in that role, and even on defense. “I’ve been impressed with him,� Ryan said. “He’s kind of got, like, Garrett McIntyre [in him]. [He’s] just a tough guy and just loves to play.� And at age 26, after two years on a Mormon mission, he’s not your average rookie. “He’s a mature guy,� Ryan said. “As he told us all today, he was an AllAmerica — honorable mention.� KRISTIAN DYER @KristianRDyer sports@metro.us

Coaching search

FISHER SERVED AS HEAD OF THE NBA PLAYERS ASSOCIATION. / GETTY IMAGES

Reports: Knicks ‘open’ to Jackson, waiting to talk to Fisher The Knicks coaching search goes on, with ESPN delivering dual reports on possible candidates. President Phil Jackson is reportedly “openâ€? to speaking to former Golden State coach Mark Jackson. The former Knicks point guard seems like a long shot, with no connection to Phil Jackson. Mark Jackson has already jumped back into the broadcast booth with ESPN for the remainder of the playos. Another option, Derek Fisher, is tied up with playing in the Western Conference ďŹ nals with the Thunder. Fisher, who played under Phil Jackson with the Lakers, hasn’t oďŹƒcially said he will retire after the season. But he does appear interested in coaching in the future. ESPN reports Phil Jackson would at least like to speak to his former pupil before hiring anyone else. METRO
