De Blasio announces Rikers Island changes Reform. More cameras, mental health treatment coming to city jail. After years of neglect and a “culture of no,” Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a series of reforms Thursday aimed at helping fix the problems that have plagued Rikers Island for decades. “In the past, so many inmates ended their time at Rikers more broken than when they came in,” de Blasio said. He called the situation “an unfair dynamic that served no one.” Mental health treatment and anti-violence programs will receive additional funding, the mayor said, without specifying the amount. He said 40 percent of Rikers inmates have mental health issues, and they account for more than half of violent incidents at the jail. “In 40 years of corrections I never thought I’d be running a mental health hospital,” Department of Corrections Commissioner

First steps Jeffrey Smith, who teaches urban policy at the Milano School for International Affairs at The New School, said the mayor’s plan sounded like “fine first steps.” •

He warned that the “sys-

tematic dehumanization” of prisoners can’t be solved simply by reducing staff ratios and isolating people with the most violent tendencies. •

“This is a culture where

“It’s pretty clear that nobody comes out of Rikers unscarred, and that’s a very sad commentary on a corrections institution.” Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union

head shots are frequent. When a 16-year-old kid mouths off to a corrections officer, that’s absurd,” Smith said. “I was locked up, you mouth off at the guards, it’s what you do … the nature of the beast.”

Joseph Ponte said at a City Hall press conference with de Blasio. Ponte said he is working closely with the city’s health department to develop what could be a “national model for mental health treatment in custody.” Inmates responsible for the most serious violent acts will be put in a supervised housing unit, de Blasio said, and punitive segregation will be reduced from 90 days to 30 days per infraction. There are 13 adolescents in punitive segregation today, Ponte said, with the number expected to be zero by year’s end. Rikers will install 7,800 new surveillance cameras, and create separate housing for transgen-

He called Rikers a “dehumanizing environment” for the people who work there and who are held there. Correction Officers Benevolent Association President Norman Seabrook said de Blasio is the only mayor in the past 12 years to look out for Rikers’ corrections officers. Seabrook said city corrections officers need more training to handle inmates with psychiatric problems, not just how to react to “outbursts of violence” and suicides. WENDY JOAN BIDDLECOMBE

The City University of New York, which hit record-high enrollment this year, will spend $35 million on remedial courses for 9,000 incoming undergraduates over the next three years. At CUNY’s Borough of Manhattan Community College, several students said yesterday they had not been ready to enter college. “My school didn’t prepare me at all,” said Dalvyn Ramirez, a 22-year-old English major and graduate of the Upper West Side’s Louis D. Brandeis High School. “I went to one of the worst high schools in New York … it was overcrowded, the teachers didn’t care, it was all about testing rather than individual learning.” A May 2013 study by

the New York City Independent Budget Office showed that only 47.3 percent of students were college-ready, based on their performance on the

English portion of the statewide Regents exam. Elvin Mrkulic, a sophomore who attended W.C. Bryant High School in Queens said he

took advanced English classes in his last two years of high school. “They kind of pressured us with all the writing and reading. When I got

here, my English classes were pretty easy.” Karla Nunez, a graduate of the Bronx’s Herbert H. Lehman School, said BMCC’s tutoring program improved her reading and writing. Ramirez, now an English major who enjoys writers including Charles Bukowski and Philip K. Dick, said he was forced to find tutoring on his own at the public library. New York City’s public schools have seen several changes in the past month, as NYC Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina replaced 15 school superintendents two weeks before Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the “School Renewal Program,” pumping $150 million into 94 of New York City’s struggling schools.

SantaCon excesses are making many Bushwick bar owners and residents see red, and not because of the hundreds of colorful costumes. / GETTY IMAGES

Was SantaCon bushwhacked in Bushwick?

Unwelcome? Bushwick bar owners say they really wouldn’t mind hosting the costumed Christmas bar crawl.

SantaCon, a fundraising pub crawl that sends hundreds of drunken revelers into city streets dressed as Santa, Christmas trees and frisky reindeer, says a media campaign is keeping them from Bushwick, even as local barkeeps say they wouldn’t mind the revelers. “We weren’t really too concerned,” said Rafael Martinez, manager of The Sampler, a craft beer bar on Starr Street. “We just embrace everyone who stops by.” Organizers of Santa-

Transit. A/C tunnel to close for 40 weekends MTA officials confirmed Thursday that they’ll begin a year’s worth of repairs on the tunnel carrying A and C trains between Brooklyn and Manhattan. The work will take 40 weekends and be completed by the end of 2015. The trains will be rerouted on the F line between Jay StreetMetroTech and West 4th Street. “The work involved will be largely electrical, including replacing tunnel lighting, communication cables and antenna cables,” Kevin Ortiz, an

MTA spokesman said. “Since most of the tunnel structure will be undisturbed, this type of work can be performed during weekend shutdowns instead of long-term tube closures.” The A and C trains tied for 16th place among New York City’s 19 subway lines in a survey by the Straphangers Campaign. The MTA will work to minimize disruption caused by the work and consult with local elected officials and community representatives, Ortiz said. METRO

“The A train is the fastest train to get to the city, of course. I take it to go to school, work, home. It’s right by my house. On the weekends I take it to go to parties. I don’t even know what I’m going to do, I’m stuck with the 3 train, I guess, which I know is gonna be slow.” Penneisha Cephas, 20 / MILES DIXON, METRO

Man charged with impersonating a cop after raping teen Crime. A young Brooklyn woman was going to buy cigarettes when she was lured into a car and raped. Police have arrested a Brooklyn man who forced a teen to perform sexual acts on him in his car, while he pretended to be a cop. Walter Barnes, 47, approached the 18-yearold woman around 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 2 in BedfordStuyvesant. Barnes, who pretended to be an officer using a police radio, offered to drive the victim to buy cigarettes. Barnes drove the woman to an area in Bushwick, and told her

Barnes then drove her to a location in Cypress Hills, and again told her to perform a sexual act. She was able to escape after Barnes tried to undress her. Barnes was arrested Wednesday by a squad that chases police impersonators. He is charged with rape, aggravated sex abuse and criminal impersonation of a police officer. He was convicted of raping two girls in 2002, and is registered as a “violent sexual offender,” according to the Daily News. METRO

Immigration plan lawful, Obama says Changes. The administration is justifying the policy.

President Barack Obama imposed the most sweeping immigration reform in a generation on Thursday, easing the threat of deportation for about 4.7 million undocumented immigrants and setting up a clash with Republicans. In a White House speech, Obama rejected Republican critics who say his decision to bypass Congress and take executive action is tantamount to amnesty for illegal immigrants. He urged them to pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation that the Republican-controlled House has blocked. “Today, our immigration system is broken,

Obama’s actions are bound to upset both immigration advocates who want more and Republican lawmakers who want less. /GETTY IMAGES Quoted

“And to those members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better, or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress has failed, I have one answer: Pass a bill.� Obama

and everybody knows it,� Obama said. “It’s been this way for decades. And for decades we haven’t done much about it.� Republicans said Obama had overstepped his constitutional power a year after declaring he lacked the authority to act on his own. With 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, Obama’s plan would let some 4.4 million who are parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents remain in the U.S. without the threat of deportation. Those undocumented residents could apply legally for jobs and join American society, but not vote or qualify for insurance under the president’s signature health care law. The measure would apply to those who have been in the United States for at last five years. REUTERS

Gunman killed, three students wounded in Florida State library Shooting. Campus security was increased and classes were canceled on Thursday. The gunman who shot and wounded three people at Florida State University on Thursday was an alumnus who used a semiautomatic handgun as he opened fire in a library where hundreds of students were studying for exams, officials said. The shooter, identified by authorities as Myron May, 31, was fatally shot in an exchange of gunfire with police near the entrance to Florida State’s Strozier Library in the latest of a string of shootings on U.S. campuses.

Previous non-lethal aid to Ukraine includes $53 million announced in September for military equipment such as counter-mortar detection units, body armor, binoculars, small boats and other gear for Ukraine’s security forces and border guards in the east.

— a request echoed by some U.S. lawmakers in response to what NATO allies say is Russia’s movement of tanks and troops into eastern Ukraine. Officials in the Obama administration had said Washington believed Ukraine had enough lethal aid and the types of weaponry requested for Ukraine would be of only marginal value. They had also emphasized the need for a diplomatic outcome. President Barack

Obama’s administration has long debated providing weapons to the Kiev government, but has so far concluded that it might only prompt Russia to escalate its aid to the separatist rebels. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said that sending arms to Ukraine, would send a “very serious signal,� and be in “direct violation� of cease-fire agreements reached with Ukraine.

ments to be able to feel like the party can commence, because “it’s already there – that’s the hardest thing to figure out, that it’s already been there the whole time.” Watching Netflix on your sofa counts; so does climbing Mt. Everest. “It can be a relaxing experi-

ence, it can be a very energetic, physical or athletic experience — but it’s more that you can tell it when you feel it,” he says. “All partying counts as long as it’s bringing you that sense of, ‘I’m glad to not be dead.’” But most people don’t party by watching Netflix. Dancing, drinking or however you go out and have fun can be physically exhausting. But maybe that’s because you’re doing that wrong, too. “The healthiest thing you can do is party, and if you start to feel unhealthy it means you’re not partying enough,” he says.

“There are times I’ve gone out and continued my partying adventures and physically didn’t feel well, and I’m glad that I’m going out because I know by the end of that night I’m gonna be completely healed.” If that’s how he lives his life, does he even have a bucket list, or is it just one long to-do list? “There are things that I would like to do before I die, but I just assume if they’re meant to happen, they’ll happen,” he says. “I don’t like the pressure that you have to get these things done.” His advice to get on the party circuit: Stop thinking you’re in control of everything — or anything. “It’s kind of humbling but it’s a lot more fun. I just go along where I’m taken and things have been much more interesting since I decided to do that.” EVA KIS @thisiskis

Q&A JOSH HUTCHERSON: MY DOG IS THE ‘LOVE OF MY LIFE’

RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman

“Amazing to work with Phil. I mean, we were all really excited when he joined during “Catching Fire.” He really was one of the best actors working; it was a horrible, horrible loss. He was a friend and he was talented, and it was something that I think that we quite honestly never really got over during the shooting of the movies.”

it before I even did the first “Hunger Games,” but it was just about finding the time for it. It was really important to me.

The release of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1” might just be the beginning of the end for the super-successful dystopian franchise (“Part 2” won’t be out for another year), but Josh Hutcherson is all done. And he’s ready to take it easy at home for a while — at least to keep his dog happy. It’s sort of past tense now that you’re done shooting the “Hunger Games” films, but how did you fit in other projects between movies? Between the first “Hunger Games” and the second one, I didn’t do anything. I really enjoyed just living — which is so nice, by the way. Living is a great thing to do. You forget how nice it is until you do it sometimes. But then, between “Catching Fire” and “Mockingjay,” I really want to do this project, “Escobar: Paradise Lost,” and make it work. I read the script for

Chillin’ If you’re being forced to relax, what does that involve? I like to go out, have some fun, but it’s really just about relaxing with friends, hanging out at the house, listening to music. My dog, I’m with my dog all of the time; he’s the love of my life. It must be tough being away from him for work. That’s the worst, man. It’s also hard, too, because you can’t explain to them.

You can’t be like, “Listen, I’m going to head out” — I mean, I still do anyway — “I’m going to head out, I’m going to be back soon. I love you, I’ll be back, don’t worry.” I always worry I’ll come home and the dog will be indifferent to me. That’s my biggest fear. Not death, not getting old, it’s literally my dog not caring about me anymore because I’ve been gone too long.

Do you have a sense of needing to seize on opportunities while they’re plentiful and your profile is raised? Truthfully, I haven’t stopped working since I was 9. For the last 12 years, I’ve done almost a movie or two every year. So it’s a lot, and I’m kind of now just realizing that the success of “The Hunger Games” has afforded me the ability to not have to work right now. Yeah, there’s an element of wanting to strike while the iron’s hot, of course, and because of that I’m creating relationships with directors and producers and reading so many scripts. But I don’t really feel pressure to work right now. I actually feel the opposite. I feel that I have a pressure to relax. [Laughs] Right now, I’m just taking it easy and reading scripts. I also want to develop stuff, and I want to produce and direct in the future. NED EHRBAR @Nedrick

Confessions. Jennifer Lawrence makes fun of herself (as usual) Jennifer Lawrence is an unusual kind of shy. She’s clearly uncomfortable with praise, especially fake praise, and is the first person to make fun of herself. At the same time, she’s not hesitant — in fact, she’s enthusiastic — about sharing her self-deprecation with the rest of the world. It’s a shtick, what she does, but a sincere shtick, if one she’s gotten better at controlling when around the press. “It’s certainly a blessed life,” Lawrence admits at a press conference for “The Hunger Games: Mocking-

jay — Part 1.” “But there are also sacrifices. I get to do what I love, but there’s a downside to every job.” “Mockingjay — Part 1” is even more political than the others, getting into the nitty-gritty of how to wage revolution. This time Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen is part of the rebellion. “Katniss is representing the consequences of war,” she says. “It’s not that she doesn’t believe in what President Coin [the rebel leader, played by Julianne Moore] wants. It’s not that she doesn’t believe the Capitol is a terrible govern-

ment that’s only good for the [top] 1 percent. But war is complicated; it affects everyone on both sides. There’s no right way to start or end a war. I don’t know.” She then adds another self-takedown: “And then at the end of it all I’m like, ‘I don’t know.’” When asked what she sees of herself in Katniss, Lawrence easily finds a self-deprecating quip: “I always get nervous making comparisons, because Katniss is a leader of a rebellion that changes the world, and I’m, just, chilling.” MATT PRIGGE

YA dystopia. There’s almost no action in the third ‘Hunger Games,’ but that’s for the best When last we saw her, semi-reluctant dystopian revolutionary Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) was rescued from the evil Capitol by the rebels. Now holed up in their bunker, she takes on the role of the revolution’s mascot while worrying for Peeta, who’s apparently been brainwashed by the government. But since this is only the first half of the third book, the action you’ve come to expect from the franchise won’t arrive for an entire year.

The third in “The Hunger Games� series lets you spend much more time with the extravagantly dull Gale (Liam Hemsworth, next to Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen). / MURRAY CLOSE Review

The lowdown If the second “Hunger Games� played as a repeat of the first — and it did, with slight alterations — the third goes the opposite way: It’s nothing like either film. Indeed, archer Katniss fires a single arrow. Storywise, it barely holds up on its own, yet it may be the only case where splitting a book into two movies means retaining much-needed

nuance. What was a tamed rip off of the gory “Battle Royale� becomes a cerebral look at the grunt work of revolution — with the YA-required love triangle, of course. In fact, few films about revolution have been more complex and ambivalent. The revolution’s cause is just; the government is a fascist oligarchy who’ve kept the masses down and the 1 percenters up. But even noble revolutionar-

ies can’t always keep themselves clean. Their leader, President Coin (a silver fox Julianne Moore), seems faintly sinister. And Katniss is largely doing for the revolution what she did for the Capital: dressing up in fashionable attire, striking iconic poses and making propaganda videos. It’s still an incomplete film, stopping, as the last one did, almost mid-sentence. And it can be too serious. It lacks the colorful Ken Russell flamboyance of life inside the aristocratic Capital, while Liam Hemsworth’s boring Gale, now more prominent, makes Josh Hutcherson’s Peeta look like a sugarhigh coke addict. It’s more admirable than engaging, though it’s smart to tie its reticence into character. No matter how knotty things get, it’s still about Katniss, and Lawrence subtly gives maybe her most aching performance yet. MATT PRIGGE

‘A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night’ ••••• In an Iranian ghost town called Bad City, a mysterious woman (Sheila Vand) clad in a chador wanders around, sucking the necks of various sexist and abusive men. The lowdown: “A Girl Walks Home at Nightâ€? is more than just an Iranian feminist vampire Western romance. It has fatty chunks of David Lynch in it, along with Sergio Leone, Jim Jarmusch and probably some Bela Tarr too, plus a Nicolas Winding Refn-like love for ’80s synth pop. It’s derivative of so many things that of

course it’s original. That’s not a glib line: Like Quentin Tarantino, ďŹ rst-time feature director Ana Lily Amirpour knows that picking the right ingredients makes for a unique and scrumptious stew. Like “Eraserhead,â€? it tends to move at a glacial pace, characters often standing in beautifully lit tableaux; when they move it’s in super slow-mo. This is as much for genre fanboys as glacial cinema devotees. Amirpour avoids a lot of rookie mistakes, but she can be a tad too modest. The token love story still feels pat, as though she shoehorned it in just to add time. It’ll be interesting when Amirpour feels conďŹ dent to follow her emotions as bravely as she does her inuences.

Painful Varicose Veins?

Music doc. Britpop gods Pulp get a movie that’s self-deprecating and charmingly pompous For their alleged last ever concert, held in their hometown of Sheffield, altrock and Britpop legends Pulp wrangled a crew to make a film about them, one that mixes them busting out the likes of “Common People” and “Babies,” but also tours about the city, finding fans middle aged, old and very young. The lowdown This is no “Behind the Music” primer for newbies; it’s for the longtime fans. (But try resisting “Disco 2000.”) Though frontloaded with their biggest hit, “Common People,” “Pulp” only barely tells their story; you’ll only learn random bits of Wikipedia trivia. Instead, it prefers incidental pleasures, exploring not only frontman Jarvis Cocker’s neuroses — such as how he prefers communicating with impossibly large crowds over intimate relationships — but also

how guitarist Mark Webber prefers never being recognized on the street. Successful yet anonymous — surely that’s the dream. The film is too scattershot and disorganized. Even with the backdrop of the show to lean on, it can’t find a center of gravity, hopscotching between interviews with the band, soundbytes from Sheffield locals and the occasional, maddeningly interrupted concert footage. It does, however, feel intimate, handmade. Of course, those hands belong to the band themselves, who collaborated on the film in their own honor, though it’s never less than self-deprecating and, despite the pomp, modest in a purely English way. For better or worse, it’s the Pulp movie you’d expect, which is to say one that’s really into “This Is Hardcore.” MATT PRIGGE

PHWUR XV “The Missing” airs Saturdays at 9 p.m. on Starz. / PROVIDED

Frances O’Connor lives in a thriller on ‘The Missing’ Interview. The actress takes on the difficult role of a mother with a kidnapped child. Frances O’Connor had to go to some harrowing emotional places for her role on “The Missing,” in which she plays a British mother grappling with the disappearance of

her young son while on vacation in France. The story is split between the 2006 incident and the present-day ramifications. On the bright side, “The Missing” follows the “True Detective” trend of providing a complete story in its full run of episodes, so it’s only a matter of weeks until the mystery is solved. And the final answers ended up surprising even O’Connor. How much did reallife stories such as the Madeleine McCann case play into the approach to this? We didn’t set out to make a Madeleine McCannesque thriller or anything; that wasn’t our intention. I think that’s just one case that’s received so much attention, even in America. I’m sure people will make that comparison, but I don’t think that was

the writers’ intention at all. And they’re really kind of adamant about that. I just think they don’t want the McCanns to think, “Oh, they’re making a thriller from our experience.” But I think as you go on and watch the other episodes, you realize it’s actually quite different. While reading it, were you convinced you had it figured out? Yes, I did. I was not right. I was wrong, so wrong. [Laughs] That’s part of the fun, though. It is an emotional thriller in a lot of ways because it is about a kid going missing, so in a lot of ways you’re invested. But then having that thriller aspect as well makes it really exciting. As I was reading it — because I didn’t know what happened — I was just like, “Oh God, I hope it’s not me.” [Laughs]

Real-World Love Advice

CHARLES J. ORLANDO

DATING

Real-world lessons for the bedroom “Fifty Shades of Grey” — whether you loved the book or think it’s drivel, the movie promises to capture the attention of women (and some men) everywhere. What has my attention isn’t the sex or the controversial nature of the content (Alternative lifestyle participants will tell you it’s not a book about real BDSM. An experienced dominant would never take on a completely green submissive partner.). What I’ve been looking at are the dynamics between the characters, as well as how women are responding to the content. They’re responding strongly — and men need to pay attention. Is it a story of an innocent young woman who convinces a bad boy to give up his ways and ultimately love her for all time? Perhaps, who cares? What makes “Fifty Shades” different is how the sex and dynamics between the characters have tapped into the psyches of many women in the real world.

TheProblemIsMen.com Charles J. Orlando is a relationship expert and author of the best-selling book series “The Problem with Women … Is Men.” Find out more about him on his website, or visit him on Facebook for real-world love advice.

They yearn for one thing that “Fifty Shades” drives home: desire. The millions of female fans don’t just want a love story. They want a love story with unbridled longing — with a side order of dominant/submissive sex. They want to be afforded pleasure at the hands of someone who is both capable and confident, someone who is secure in himself and his sexuality and wants to give her as much as she can handle — while finding pleasure for himself in giving. The catch: This power dynamic has to stay in the bedroom, without issues of control spilling out into real life and altering the genuine, respectful love he should feel. In short: They want a man confident enough to ask her what she wants, and who knows how to deliver it — with power. It is precisely these qualities that more men need to embrace: the ability to be strong yet soft in a combination of masculine and feminine — lunar and

solar. Men who lead, listen, empathize and act all while staying empathetically confident. Is everyone into dominance and submission? Of course not, but that’s not the point. It’s simpler than that. These are the traits women want from the men in their lives, and smart men are listening. For some men, there are two types of foreplay: being touched and the anticipation of being touched. What these guys don’t seem to

realize is that their version of foreplay is in direct opposition to a woman’s largest erogenous zone: her mind. There’s no substitute for mental stimulation and intelligent discussion as foreplay. (Well, almost. For some women, foreplay might be him doing dishes or taking out the trash without being asked.) Bottom line: For a modern-day relationship to work, there’s no room for men to be stifled by their own fears, insecurities and hang-ups. Societal pressures can water men down and keep them questioning their own sense of masculinity. If a man wants a woman to let go and let loose in the bedroom, he will likely need to let go first, pure and simple. She wants to trust him, and she will. He just needs to lead with confidence and sincerity, and make it safe for her to just be herself.

It’s Sexiest Man Alive season, which means one of my favorite Hollywood rumors is getting trotted out again: Ryan Gosling, everyone’s favorite Canadian with a Brooklyn accent, reportedly turned down People magazine’s offer of the heady title — multiple times. “They tried a few times, especially during his huge year in 2011,” a source tells TheWrap. “The consensus was he’s too serious for it, too artsy.” I was going to say too bashful, but sure. People’s editorial director, Jess Cagle, however, insists that there was no turning down by the Goose for this go-round, at least. “While I look forward to the day when Ryan Gosling is named Sexiest Man Alive, this was not his year,” Cagle says. “Our 2014 honoree Chris Hemsworth was our first and only choice. If you want to know why, just look at him. I mean, seriously.”

Johnny Rotten blows $15,000 on iPad apps Former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon — or, you know, Johnny Rotten — has some serious impulse control issues, which isn’t that surprising. What is surprising is that he’s been unable to curb a crippling appetite for iPad in-app purchases. No, really. “I wasted — you’re the first to know this — 10,000 f--ing pounds in the last two years on apps on my iPad,” he tells the Telegraph. (By the way, by current exchange rates 10,000 f---ing pounds translates to about 15,600 f---ing dollars.) “I got into ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Game of War,’ ‘Real Racing,’ and I just wanted to up the ante,” he says. “And like an idiot I didn’t check myself. I’ve been checked now. But there’s a

Think of the children In response to talk of immigration reform in the last several editions, I want to urge that we do seek comprehensive reform on immigration and advocate for executive action if Congress will not comply. Since when did we as Americans forget about the human dignity documented and undocumented people deserve? We cannot reject the thousands of women and children arriving at our border seeking amnesty. Not only is it morally wrong, but it’s also illegal. The Dream Act, passed several years ago, guarantees the right of every unaccompanied minor to have his case heard at the border. I urge anyone reading this to look at things from their

perspective. These people are fleeing impoverished, corrupt nations simply to look for a safe place to live and work. They’re not coming to steal your jobs and take away our English language! CHARLES HAJJAR, VIA EMAIL

Storylines to watch as Giants host Dallas

NFL. The G-Men host the rival Cowboys, who haven’t lost on the road this season.

The Giants (3-7) are on the verge of being knocked out of playoff contention, as they’re in the midst of a five-game tailspin. And of all the teams to unofficially end their season, the Dallas Cowboys (7-3) doing so would be extra salt in Big Blue’s wounds (8:30 p.m., NBC). If the Giants are to avoid that from happening, they’ll need all hands on deck to curtail a Cowboys’ offense that is among the league’s best.

Struggling Eli looking to get back on track

1

Which version of Eli Manning shows up will go a long way in determining the Giants’ fate. Heading into last week’s matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, Manning had only tossed six interceptions in nine games. But after he hurled five picks against the Niners, it’s safe to say that Giants’ fans are worried “Bad Eli” has reared his head again. Big Blue and its backers are hoping last week was merely an aberration. But if not, the better-than-expected Cowboys defense will fully take advantage of Manning’s gaffes.

Chasing Romo

The Giants used to have one of the premier pass rushes in the league — such a dominant outfit that they never needed to blitz, because the down linemen took care of business while the back seven covered the passing lanes. That luxury is no more, as the Giants’ defense has been exposed, both through the air and on the ground — the “D” is ranked 31st in the NFL.

Tony Romo has thrown 18 TD passes this year. / GETTY IMAGES

Rushing wars

ELI MANNING HAS THROWN SIX INTERCEPTIONS IN HIS LAST TWO GAMES. GETTY IMAGES

Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) is still ailing, but still plays at an elite level, and his improvisational skills are exceptional. If the Giants somehow manage to slow down DeMarco Murray, they’ll still have to contend with Romo and his dangerous receiving corps. If Big Blue can’t get to Romo and make him uncomfortable in the pocket, it’s going to be yet another embarrassing episode under the primetime lights.

NFL. Despite losing streak, Giants locker room has not unraveled The Giants have taken it on the chin during this five-game losing streak. But for head coach Tom Coughlin, his team has no choice but to get off the canvas, because no one is going to feel sorry for their plight. The mood’s still upbeat at the team’s facilities, noted the coach, and in fact, the grizzled Coughlin, who can sometimes be cantankerous, opened his Wednesday press conference with some humor.

The Giants haven’t yet quit on Tom Coughlin. / GETTY IMAGES

“We could be in Buffalo, [so] smile,” said Coughlin, likely trying to lighten the mood for a squad whose playoff window may have closed. But there was Coughlin, ready to move on to this Sunday’s opponent, the Cowboys, fully aware that his team’s season is on the brink. “Keep fighting, keep fighting, keep fighting,” Coughlin said. “That is all it takes, one game at a time.” TONY WILLIAMS

Both team’s running games will be featured prominently, as the Cowboys will ride the hot hand of DeMarco Murray, while the Giants will hitch their ride to Rashad Jennings, who was stuck in neutral in his first game back last week after missing over a month of action. Murray is among the league’s best — and is running behind arguably the league’s most dominant offensive line. Jennings, meanwhile, is still getting his legs and wind back after missing time with an injured MCL — and is running behind a line that has struggled lately.

MLS

Petke thriving early in career as head coach There were times last year when New York Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke looked like he might pull a Bobby Knight, the infamous college basketball head coach whose sideline antics were the stu of legend. But now, in his second year as a head coach in MLS, Petke has found the type of peace and control that gives him a new aura on the sidelines. It should come as no surprise that Petke is among the most passionate head coaches in the league. During his 13 years in the MLS, he earned a reputation as a gutsy and hard-nosed defender, a fact bolstered by his “Revenge is Comingâ€? T-shirt, displayed

Mike Petke and the Red Bulls face the New England Revolution in the MLS playos on Sunday (1:30 p.m., NBC). / GETTY IMAGES

a game after his teammate had a lung punctured by a marauding forward. Petke is the type of man who wants to win at any cost, and he certainly wears his heart on his sleeve. Last year, in his ďŹ rst season as a head coach, he

found it diďŹƒcult to restrain himself and ďŹ nd that allimportant balance. “I think I’ve become a bit more patient this year. I think I lost the edge there in the beginning, but the ďŹ re is back the last few months,â€? Petke told Metro.

CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY

“Over the last two months, it’s been like it was the last year. I realized I had to pace myself, unlike last year. Over the last couple months, though, it’s back. ‌ I’d rather be last year’s Mike than what I was earlier this year.â€? The development of Petke — his growth on the sidelines — is a sign of a head coach with conďŹ dence. Last year’s run to the Supporters Shield gave a franchise incepted in 1996 its ďŹ rst-ever bit of hardware. He’s no longer the young guy, the scrappy coach looking to justify the job. Red Bulls left back Roy Miller, who was a teammate of Petke during his ďŹ nal playing season in 2010, said that he sees Petke as growing someday “into one of the best coaches in the MLS.â€?

NFL. Jets look to avoid rust against Buffalo There’s still plenty to play for if you’re the Jets, who despite being all but eliminated from playoff contention at 2-8 have an awful lot left to prove. Last week’s bye came at an interesting time for the team, who pulled off one of the surprises of the NFL season in Week 10 with a win over the Steelers. The Jets, who have historically suffered after the bye week under head coach Rex Ryan, now need to build on this impressive win. Having a week off between that upset and this week’s game against the Bills won’t help the momentum issue. One player the Jets will have to keep tabs on against Buffalo is receiver Sammy Watkins, who in

Sammy Watkins has thrived as a rookie for the Bills. / GETTY IMAGES

Buffalo’s win over New York last month had three catches for 157 yards and should have had a touchdown but for the heroic tracking down by Saalim Hakim. Watkins leads the Bills in receiving yards this year and has become a favorite target of quarterback Kyle Orton. KRISTIAN DYER
