Bratton: ‘Hard to see’ reason for protests Police. The commissioner says crime is down.

His critics say he doesn’t get it.

NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton knows many New Yorkers aren’t happy with the NYPD, but he says he doesn’t understand why, because crime is down.

Speaking at a “power breakfast” of the Association for a Better New York on Tuesday, Bratton said it was “hard to see that anger” from protesters who have demonstrated against the grand jury decisions in Ferguson, Missouri, and Staten Island over the past two weeks.

“On its face, it’s hard to make sense of it. Crime is down, isn’t it? Isn’t that what police are paid to do? Disorder control?”

Bratton told the group of business, political and labor leaders.

Bratton said fear of crime is down among New Yorkers, but acknowledged they don’t trust police or government. He said that trust needs to be restored, especially in communities of color.

Last week, Bratton and Mayor Bill de Blasio

announced that reported crime numbers continued to drop, with robberies down 14 percent and grand larcenies down by 3 percent from last year.

The city had seen 290 homicides through November of this year, down more than 83 percent from 1993.

“What I don’t understand is what he doesn’t understand,” said L. Joy Williams, president of the Brooklyn NAACP. “He needs to acknowledge that there are other communities in this city that are policed with different levels of respect than communities of color,

it’s evident if he says he doesn’t understand, he still doesn’t get it.”

“The commissioner must recognize that this distrust doesn’t come from CompStat,” said Bronx Councilman Andy King, referring to the NYPD’s crime-tracking system.

“You can’t be so bold to say crime is down from police action,” King said, citing income and education as two of many factors that determine crime. “Policing in some areas help reduce crime.

A lot of policing comes after the crime is committed.”

Quoted

“What I don’t understand is what he doesn’t understand.”

NAACP’s Williams

King said the only way to rebuild public trust is for officers to respect the people in the community they’re policing. “It’s OK to be human on the job,” said King, who cochairs the City Council’s Black, Latino and Asian Caucus.

Frequent complaints of “disrespect, death and abuse” come from minority neighborhoods — not Wall Street and the Upper West Side, said Williams, and making those areas safer requires community participation.

“You can’t effectively enforce law and order if the community is not partners with you, and you can’t be partners if you don’t have trust in the system,” Williams said.

“This is a very big step for the commissioner to acknowledge that there are problems and perhaps think about what they can do differently,” said Robin Hayes, an East Flatbush native and professor of urban policy at the New School. “Racism is so systemic, so pervasive and so widespread that there’s not really a lot police can defend in terms of their behavior,” she said.

Washington Heights

Man convicted in Riverside murders A Washington Heights man has been convicted of murdering two of his neighbors and injuring four others in 2011.

Jurors found Christian Falero, 26, guilty of firstdegree murder on Tuesday.

Falero went on a “fiveminute-long campaign of terror” on Aug. 23, 2011, in his apartment building on Riverside Drive at West 160th Street, prosecutors said.

Stripping off his

clothes, Falero descended to the building’s laundry room before entering an apartment on the second floor, where he stabbed and killed Army veteran Ignacio Collazo, 81.

As Collazo’s wife screamed for help, neighbor Yan Zhi Wang, 60, opened her door. Falero stabbed her in the head, and she died later from the wounds.

Falero ran naked down the street, where he was subdued by cops in a passing patrol car. He will be sentenced on Jan. 16, and faces life in prison without parole. METRO

Un-professionals organizing force behind week of demonstrations Justice. Protests that have ďŹ lled city streets are the work of amateurs.

More than 300 arrests and blustery winter weather conditions have failed to dampen the enthusiasm of New Yorkers protesting after a Staten Island jury declined to indict an NYPD officer in the death of Eric Garner.

Synead Nichols, a 23-year-old singer, hopes to keep that energy going through Saturday, when the Millions March NYC, which she is organizing, is set to begin in Washington Square Park.

The native New Yorker said she got the idea for the march following a rally in Manhattan hours after a Missouri grand jury declined to indict a police of-

ficer for shooting and killing unarmed teen Michael Brown.

Days later, the unrest came closer to home when NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo was not indicted in the apparent choking death of Staten Island man Eric Garner.

Now, Nichols is meeting with a group of like-minded volunteers. “We have no funding. We have nothing,� she said. “People are doing this from the kindness of their hearts. That’s the most rewarding part.�

Nichols says she’s prepared for rabble-rousers who may want to disrupt her peaceful gathering, and says she’s keeping her protest independent of other groups that have been holding daily marches in the city.

A handful of the city’s most organized activists recently joined forces to create Justice League NYC.

Protesters, tightly bundled and covered in blankets, stage a protest in front of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. / GETTY IMAGES Quoted

“We have no funding. We have nothing. People are doing this from the kindness of their hearts. That’s the most rewarding part.� Nichols

Carmen Perez of Gathering for Justice, a nonprofit created by crooner and activist Harry Belafonte, has released a list of 10 demands, chief among them the firing of NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo for Garner’s death. Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said Sunday that the NYPD would undertake an internal investigation of Panta-

leo’s actions.

Perez, 37, explained that the almost daily demonstrations only appear to be random. “It takes a lot of work,� she said, detailing the coordination that happens between groups both online and off. “We’re working around the clock with minimal food and energy.�

The group will read its

list of demands in front of City Hall on Wednesday afternoon.

As New York prepares for rain and snow this week, Cherrell Brown, 25, an organizer with Justice League NYC, says the energy at the demonstrations will provide enough heat for the crowd. Brown feeds her 32,000 Twitter followers the latest news on demonstrations. “If most people are uncomfortable, they can go home and warm up in their Snuggies. Black people are uncomfortable every day,� said Brown, who is black. “In fact, you should probably be uncomfortable, because that’s what struggle is,� she added. “Things don’t tend to change if someone isn’t inconvenienced.�

Yeshiva attacker shot by officer in Brooklyn Crown Heights. A mentally ill man stabs a yeshiva student before lunging at a cop.

A knife-wielding intruder stabbed a religious student in a Crown Heights synagogue early Tuesday, before being shot and killed by police after he apparently lunged at a police officer. Much of the standoff was captured on a cellphone video.

Police responding to the Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters on Eastern Parkway at around 1:40 a.m. Tuesday discovered a 49-year-old man, later identified as Calvin Peters, holding a knife after attacking 22-year-old student Levi Rosenblat in the temple.

Rosenblat was in stable condition at a Bellevue hospital Tuesday evening.

In the video, Peters is urged by several worshippers to drop the knife, before a policeman can be seen pointing his gun at Peters and telling him

to drop the weapon. After less than a minute, Peters places the knife on a desk. Then, as the police officer holsters his pistol

and approaches Peters, the man appears to lunge at the officer. A single shot can be heard and the video ends.

Peters was shot once in the torso, said the NYPD, and was pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital.

Peters entered the building with a fourinch blade in hand as he shouted, “Kill the Jews,” Rabbi Motti Seligson, a spokesman for ChabadLubavitch, said in an email.

“We commend the heroic efforts of the individuals who were present and took immediate action. If not for their in-

tervention the outcome could have been, God forbid, far worse,” said Seligson.

A statement released

by Mayor Bill de Blasio indicated that Peters suffered from mental health issues.

“We as a society must do more for those who struggle with these challenges,” de Blasio said.

De Blasio ordered police to increase security at Jewish religious institutions across the city as a precaution while the investigation is underway.

Art. Weaver finds the beauty in sexy selfies Artist Erin. M. Riley, a weaver who got her MFA from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art, turns sexy selfies she finds on the Internet into somber tapestries.

The notoriety has increased her visibility in the art world, but when Playboy magazine offered to profile the artist, even Riley questioned the wisdom of participating. “I had some thoughts about, ‘Is this the best idea — to further sexualize my work?’” she said.

Riley’s work isn’t just based on erotic selfies, it’s inspired by the digital era in general, she said. “On Twitter was the first time I found a selfie,” Riley said.

“I found this one girl’s profile, and it was just pictures of her. I was kind of amazed and fascinated that every tweet was just a picture of her in the nude or her underwear.”

Riley was drawn to these images due to her experiences “growing up on Friendster and

Myspace and Facebook, and relating to your peers through images,” she said.

“It’s looking at the sadder side of making images,” she said. “When it’s not just a picture on Tumblr, it allows them to see the images.”

Not all of Riley’s work depicts nude women — there are also images

of guns, drugs and car crashes, which is a separate but related aspect of her work, she said.

“I was researching the effects of trauma, arrests, deaths, things that lead to single-parent households, or how young women develop and have daddy issues or become hypersexual,” she said. “The women

drive the work, but I feel like it all connects.”

Few of her subjects have contacted Riley, and many are unaware the tapestries exist. “Nobody is really satisfied by real-life relationships anymore,” Riley believes. “We need the constant thrill of ‘likes’ on a phone.”

CIA lied about interrogation methods: US Senate report Safety concerns.

The release of the report has prompted a boost of security at U.S. facilities abroad.

The CIA routinely misled the White House and Congress over its harsh interrogation program for terrorism suspects, and its methods were more brutal than the agency acknowledged, a Senate report said on Tuesday.

The program, devised by two agency contractors to squeeze information from suspects after the 9/11 attacks, was ineffective and never led to the disruption of a single plot, the report by the Senate Intelligence Committee said.

The program ran from 2002 to 2006 and involved questioning al Qaeda and other captives in secret detention facilities in various countries, including Afghanistan, Poland, Romania and Thailand.

The report, which followed a five-year investigation, found the techniques used were “far more brutal” than the CIA told the public or policymakers. Its re-

lease prompted a boost of security at U.S. facilities abroad.

The CIA dismissed the findings, saying the interrogations did result in valuable information.

Many Republicans condemned the report, which was put together by the committee’s Democratic majority, saying it would put Americans at risk.

The report said the CIA had tried to justify its use of the program by giving examples of what it called “thwarted” terrorist plots and suspect captures, but the “representations were inaccurate and contradicted by the CIA’s own records.”

It says that during one of the 83 occasions on which he was subjected to a simulated drowning technique the CIA called “waterboarding,” an al Qaeda detainee known as Abu Zubaydah became “completely unresponsive with bubbles rising through his open full mouth,” though he later was revived.

GOP: Release of report could endanger lives Republican Senator John McCain, who was tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, said Americans were entitled to the truth about the program.

Two Republican senators, Marco Rubio and Jim Risch, issued a statement calling the release of the report “reckless and irresponsible.” REUTERS

Quoted

“[The report] could ... jeopardize U.S. relations with foreign partners, potentially incite violence, create political problems for our allies, and be used as a recruitment tool for our enemies.”

Until earlier this year, Franta was a part of the successful vlog channel Our2ndLife. Though he’d previously dismissed speculation about his sexuality, he explains in his coming out video that it had taken him a long time to accept himself. “I was tired of running. I was tired of hiding,” he says. “I just want to be me and not be afraid.”

Grumpy Cat didn’t make $100 million

Tell the Internet it can calm down, because that report in the Express about online sensation Grumpy Cat pulling in $100 million? Let’s just file that under “wildly inaccurate.” Proud owner of Grumpy Cat, Tabatha Bundesen, tells the paper, “I was able to quit my job as a waitress within days of her first appearance on social media, and the phone

simply hasn’t stopped ringing since,” which is either hyperbole or a terrifying way to live. But Bundesen tells the Huffington Post that while Grumpy Cat has pulled in plenty of cash thanks to appearances, endorsements and a new Lifetime Christmas movie, the Express is way off with its $100 million claim. But Lil Bub? That guy’s totally a billionaire.

Ed Sheeran reveals Ariana Grande’s dirty side

Apparently, while everyone else was watching models strut on the runway during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Ariana Grande was making Ed Sheeran crack up with some pretty risque humor.

“Can I tell you why I was laughing?” Sheeran explains in an interview with Elvis Duran. “Basically, there were all these big inflatable bouncy black balls that are bouncing around in the crowd

on the finale bit. Ariana Grande comes and stands up next to me and just looks at me and goes, ‘I love big black balls.’ In my head I was like, ‘If she knows what that means, then I love her, and if she doesn’t know what that means, it’s even better.’”

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that she does, in fact, know what that means. You know, kids and the Internet these days and all.

Ariana tells Ed a scandalous little joke.

Tea Leoni: Back at work Interview. The actress knew who to ask for advice about her big role.

It took surprisingly little for Tea Leoni to take on a lead role in “Madam Secretary” — just word from her kids that they’d rather not have her around that much. “I’d been struggling for a while with this idea of committing to something that could be — potentially, we hope — a long endeavor,” she remembers.

“I was walking across the street with my son, who’s 12, and I said, ‘I’m thinking about doing this thing.

If I do this, I could be very busy for a while.’ He looks up at me and is like, ‘Mom, it’s totally fine.’ I was like, ‘Really?’ And he says, ‘Yeah.

We were really getting sick of you anyway.’ So it was great to have that blessing, honestly.”

On the series, Leoni plays U.S. Secretary of State

Elizabeth McCord, and she admits that people have jumped to the same conclusion when it comes to her model for the character — former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

But she insists they’re completely off-base. “I’ve certainly been asked if I met with Hillary. And obviously it’s the blond hair, right off the bat.

I swore, I said, ‘No, it’s Kissinger,’” Leoni jokes.

“The truth is, the first place in my mind that I went was not toward a particular political figure or in particular a female Secretary of State, since we’ve had three. I thought more about my grandmother — who founded the U.S. fund for UNICEF, who was the volunteer president for almost 30 years and raised five kids and 27 grandchildren — and what it was for her to be traveling around the world and

Shoe drama Leoni finds McCord easy to relate to. “I certainly do when I think about the heels that I’m wearing and the hours that I keep and my children at home. Those three things are very much the same,” she says.

coming home and being a mother. I think about my friends who are up to it, who are working mothers and what that’s about.”

Her lack of research has a lot to do with how

“The shoes, goddamn it, can we just talk about the shoes? I tell you, that’s the hardest part of my job. I am in high heels for sometimes 17 hours in a day. My feet are killing me. I don’t know how we do it. I can’t even imagine how John Kerry’s handling it.”

her character is suddenly promoted to the role at the beginning of the show from a professor gig. “If they had asked me — and let’s face it, they wouldn’t have — to play a seated Secretary of State or a life-

long politician who eases into that role — again, they never would’ve cast me — I think I would’ve done a hell of a lot more research,” Leoni admits.

“I’ve sort of enjoyed embracing coming in without that experience and without that mind-set. I did have coffee with Madeleine Albright, though.

That was one of the hottest coffees I’ve ever had.

I don’t mean literally hot coffee, I mean a really fabulous experience. She’s a pistol; she’s amazing. And she told me some funny stories.”

Joel Edgerton: Not so good to be the king

CALLING ALL LANDLORDS

In conjunction with its new LINC programs, the NYC Department of Homeless Services is offering a timeͲlimited landlord bonus for residential property owners.

SIGN A ONE YEAR LEASE AND EARN $1,000 (Lease must be signed by December 15, 2014) x PLUS: A “Special Supplemental Assistance Fund” (up to $3,000 over the “standard security voucher”) accompanies participation.

Moses to a terrorist. Joel Edgerton, who plays villainous pharaoh Rameses, gets why people are worked up.

How did you react to seeing yourself bald, tanned and bejeweled?

This is the most extreme makeover I’ve ever had.

I’m also dealing with the ego of me pretending to be the pharaoh of Egypt.

Sometimes I look at myself and say, “Yeah, I belong in this movie.” Other times I think I don’t.

Interview. The actor gets the controversy surrounding his new religious epic “Exodus: Gods and Kings.”

It’s important that Rameses isn’t wholly evil.

He wasn’t just some one-dimensional fascist villain who could destroy everybody unflinchingly.

He was more like an overlooked son who felt like he didn’t really belong.

Much like the Russell Crowe film “Noah,” “Exodus: Gods and Kings” has garnered a fair amount of controversy before its release. Among them have been charges against a mostly white cast playing Middle Eastern characters, and comments by star Christian Bale comparing

Do you think Bible/Torah stories can appeal to secular audiences?

These are incredible characters, heroic characters. ...

Christian [Bale]’s Moses is struggling with the idea of being that person who has to undertake this monumental task. I love the humanity that’s imbued in that.

Problems

Teach the controversy There’s been a fair amount of controversy over the casting of white actors as Egyptians. How do you respond to that?

On one hand, I go, “Look, it’s a movie.” But it’d be dishonest to say I wasn’t mindful of this concern.

It’s a wider conversation to be had about Hollywood in general.

This is an American-financed movie.

I mean, I get it. But I had to put my faith in Ridley’s team that they would make it appropriate for me to fill those golden shoes and wear that jewelry and look that way. I had to find a reason to do it on an interior level.

Just the facts

Aiming for realism There are at least a few semirational scientiďŹ c explanations for some of the plagues and the parting of the Red Sea. In the parting of the Red Sea there’s a kind of

wink, or tip of the hat, to a scientiďŹ c explanation, but it was more about Ridley’s practical, bare-bones approach to visualize this story that lives in our imaginations when we read it in a book. How do you create the parting of the Red

Sea? Do you do the shiny wall of water on either side, like they did in “The Ten Commandments�?

Ridley was inspired by nature documentaries and footage of receding waters in tsunamis. He didn’t want to make it super-scientiďŹ c, but just

he wanted to ďŹ nd a way to visually achieve that on screen. It’s not a 2 ½ hour “Mythbustersâ€? episode.

That would be a fool’s mission.

See Jake Bugg live (at home) Interview. A new concert DVD showcases the singer, but he’s not letting success go to his head.

Jake Bugg is trying to get used to fame. The singer, now 20, had an international hit with “Lightning Bolt,” and has a concert DVD, “Live at the Royal Albert Hall,” coming out on Dec. 23, but adjusting to the big life has come with its challenges.

“You get people going, ‘Alright Jake, you remember our Kelly, don’t you? I think you met her when you were about three.’

I’m like, ‘Yeah, but I don’t know her now. You never came ‘round and said hello before’ ... but that’s how it is,” resignedly recalls Jake Bugg of a night out in his hometown of Nottingham.

The British singer-song-

writer, whose self-titled debut album topped the charts when he was 18 and eventually went double platinum, is wary of fame.

Some of his cautiousness stems from growing up on a deprived, crime-ridden social housing estate — the source of much of his material for his first album.

Despite his boyish looks, Bugg is an old soul, describing the snap-andovershare millennial generation as “crazy.” “People are really taken by fame in this day and age,” he says.

“I like to keep to myself, but if fame and publicity is something that comes along with it and it helps maintain my career and what I want to do, I’m willing to do it,” Bugg mumbles in a thick Midlands accent.

His reluctance to play the “fame game” is obvious, and he admits that if he had his way he’d “delete Twitter” but acknowledges “it wouldn’t do him any favors.” False peppiness

Stubborn fat has met its match.

Jake Bugg thinks Americans are “real optimists.” / WIREIMAGE Quoted

“If fame and publicity is something that comes along with it and it helps maintain my career and what I want to do, I’m willing to do it.” Bugg

isn’t Bugg’s bag. On stage, the man who penned the crowd-rousing Sixtiessounding “Lightning Bolt” shuns showmanship for craftsmanship, a privilege reserved for only the most prodigiously talented.

Bugg, known for his Bob Dylan-esque warbling vocals, finds it hard to pander to the glitz and selfpromotional positivity of

America. “I can’t be so honest [during interviews],” he says, before quickly correcting himself: “I’m still honest, but everything has to be so great in the U.S. – they’re real optimists.” Try to cheer up, Jake — it’s not so bad over here.

RICHARD PECKETT richard.peckett@ metro.lu

Bugg, whose awkward reticence belies his arena sell-out performer trade, says he does “sometimes have the odd mad one once in a while.”

“But I think when you go to those clubs, from what I’ve seen, everyone is trying to outdo each other by buying the most expensive bottle of champagne. And it’s like a bottle of champagne that costs £500 [roughly $784] will probably taste the same as a £5,000 [roughly $7,841] bottle but it’s all about image, isn’t it?” he observes.

As for the most expensive bottle Bugg has splashed out on: “I’ve never bought a bottle, I get given them,” he chuckles. “I only buy vintage guitars and they’re an investment.”

“Avoid kitschy holiday decor that you’ll only use one time a year and don’t have storage for,” says DeBois.

Instead, she says decorate with festive, metallic accessories that can be used yearround. “I’m obsessed with anything gold,” says the interior designer. “My favorite are these Dwell Studio candle holders. They make anything — even my Ikea plates — fancier.”

“In cities, where space is an issue, a large tree can really disrupt a room,” warns DeBois.

She recommends going with a silvertip fir. “They aren’t as wide or full so they don’t take up as much space.” Another bonus: “There’s less to decorate — and less cleanup, too,” she says.

And when it comes to decorating, DeBois says go minimalistic with ornaments. “Too many decorations in varying colors, shapes and patterns can be overwhelming.”

“Smith represents the elegant. And Cult is the other end of the spectrum — it represents the darker side of our lives,” says Mohajer. $18, SMITHANDCULT.COM

Beauty. We love these two new lacquer brands.

Smith & Cult Who knew your nail color could say so much?

For Dineh Mohajer it’s the easiest form of selfexpression. The Hard Candy founder, who sold the popular ’90’s brand to LVMH in 1999, is back in

the beauty arena with a new line of five-free nail lacquers called Smith & Cult.

“It’s based on a diary of a beauty junkie,” explains Mohajer. “Each color corresponds to stuff that happened to me, stuff that happened to my girlfriends at different times in our lives.” The lacquers in the 30-shade, high-pigment collection each have a quirky name and an intricate backstory created

by Mohajer. Take “Cut the

Mullet,” a pastel blue — it represents a girl at an art opening getting hit on by an annoying hipster.

“I think having an emotional experience to the nail polish from a story, there’s something to that,” says Mohajer. We can’t wait to hear the experiences she dreams up to go along with her lip gloss line, launching next.

Pantone named Marsala — “a naturally robust and earthy wine red” — as the official 2015 color of the year. We just happen to think the vampy shade is the perfect lip color for this frigid weather. It pairs perfectly with our somber sweaters and put-off mood. TINA CHADHA

Long-lasting

Caption The frustrating thing about manicures — besides having to wait for your nails to dry, unable to scroll through Instagram — is that most of the time you see a chip within 24 to 48 hours.

Enter Caption. The new hybrid nail polish line performs like a gel but without the wait or tedious soaking removal process. “It can go up to nine days without chipping,” says co-founder Greg Salo. How it works: The line is formulated with a nail-hardening base coat, a plasticizer inside the polish to give it the flexibility of a gel and volcanic glass for that glossy shine.

Caption also helps strengthen nails and is DBP, toluene and formaldehyde free. $14, CAPTIONNAILS.COM

For your eyes only

Other Bond gizmos that came to life Not all Bond gadgets are pure fiction. Some wound up becoming a reality. Here are four prophecies that came true.

Jet pack, ‘Thunderball’ The kind of propelling backpack that saved Sean Connery can only send users 30 feet in the air at about 10 mph — and even that sounds terrifying.

Homing beacon,

‘Goldfinger’ Bond being able to track people from his Aston Martin seemed pretty out there in 1964. Now one doesn’t even need a license to own them.

Skyhook, ‘Thunderball’ When you need to attach yourself to a plane mid-flight, find the inventor of the Surfaceto-Air Recovery System.

Killer pen, ‘Never Say Never Again’ A North Korean assassin was once caught with a regular ballpoint pen that hid a tiny, deadly needle. Yikes.

You probably shouldn’t do this — but you could if you wanted to. / MGM

License to burn — and tell the time Gadgets. A new watch from Germany re-creates one of the cooler Bond gizmos.

There’s still just shy of a year until the next Bond film, “Spectre,” comes out.

But you’re probably not as excited as Patrick Priebe, who has made his own not-quite-lethal Bondesque gadget. The young German inventor has created a facsimile of one of the better Q-made gizmos: the watch from the first Pierce Brosnan number “GoldenEye,” which features a laser. But his version only has a license to

burn — through plastic. (It can also pop balloons.)

Bond was your inspiration, yes?

Yes, but not the movies. It was the “GoldenEye” video game for the Nintendo 64 console, which I used to play when I was a child.

I’ve grown up now but noticed that many sci-fi gadgets are almost reality.

So I wanted to give it a try.

Was it easy?

I work with lasers for a living. So I found a piece of leftover metal tubing, just long enough for the watch body, turned it down on my machine and saw that it fit perfectly.

Then I mounted the rest of the parts — laser, LED screen for the watch – and

How strong is the laser light?

It’s a 1,500-milliwatt laser, which is very dangerous.

It can burn your skin

Is it legal to use your watch?

I did not make it to be used. It’s just for fun. I would never wear it outside or in front of other people.

In any event, could it be used for self-defense?

It could, but it is almost too dangerous. A fraction of the beam could blind you for life.

Fans of the iPod Classic were evidently being serious when they expressed their anger and surprise when it was discovered that Apple had sneakily discontinued the popular mp3 player in the wake of the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch announcements.

Almost immediately, the item was removed from the company’s online store. And those fans are now willing to shell out quite a bit for the dedicated music player.

The 160-gigabyte capacity iPod Classics are

now selling for as much as £670 (or about $1,000) in the U.K., according to the Guardian, while in the U.S. they’re topping out on Amazon at the seemingly much more reasonable $490. But that’s still a lot more than the $249 the Classic went for before being killed off. Oh, and if you’ve got an old iPod Classic kicking around and want to cash in, even used ones are going for up to $500 on eBay. But if this is any indication, that price will only go up, so list carefully. NED EHRBAR

Look like an Angel Fitness. Alessandra Ambrosio may have a heavenly body, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that way through divine intervention.

Alessandra Ambrosio with one of the two Fantasy Bra creations for the Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Secret Fashion Show. / GETTY IMAGES

For the first time in Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Secret Fashion Show history, there were two Fantasy Bras on the runway last night, worn

by Brazilian supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima.

Designed by jeweler Pascal Mouawad, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lingerie creation is encrusted with 16,000 rubies, diamonds and sapphires, strung together with 18-karat gold and priced at $2 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each. Oh, and they took about 1,380 hours to make, which, as the 33-year-old Ambrosio tells Metro, is almost as much time as she spends staying in shape.

How do you get bodyready before the Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Secret Fashion Show?

Throughout the year, I try to exercise three times a week but one or two months before the show, I start working out daily.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a trainer so I do my whole workout myself; I feel like at this point in my life, I know what my body needs. I try to diversify my workout: I like Boot Camp, for example, which is 30 minutes of running and 30 minutes on the floor with weights â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good full-body training [regime] that I do twice a week.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also a fan of Pilates, which I do two to three times a week, as well as a ballet barre workout, too. I do yoga once a week just to stretch out the strain caused by all those exercises.

Do you alter your diet, too?

I just try to eat healthier, even though my lifestyle

in general is to be as healthy as I can. So I cut out some junk food at this point. If I want to have pizza, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have one with goat cheese and mushrooms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I always have one slice. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat this or thatâ&#x20AC;? because it makes me kind of crazy, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather eat a little bit less and go for the least bad option. But before the show, I definitely try to be more conscious of what I eat.

How would you describe your diet in general?

I grew up in Brazil so I like healthy, homemade food.

Every day, I try to eat fresh.

For lunch I would cook some chicken breast and make a salad, for example, and I would have sushi for dinner.

What is your go-to breakfast?

Today actually wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good example because I had, like, two minutes to eat breakfast! I had a bunch of things to do this

morning so I just had a piece of coffee cake. Usually, I have egg whites with gluten-free toast and some avocado on the side. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I have every day when I have a bit of time to cook.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your guilty pleasure?

I love french fries!

Do you have a nostalgic childhood dish?

My grandmother used to make hand-cut french fries for me when I was younger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I just loved them. I also remember this chocolate cake she used to bake for me. My other grandmother is Polish and she makes pierogi â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like pasta filled with potatoes and the dressing is bacon with butter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is very heavy but I love it.

Every time I go back to Brazil, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have it.

The models on the runway at last nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Secret Fashion Show may have been wearing wings, but there is nothing magical about where their energy is coming from.

The new hot body is not a starved one, but a strong one that can handle motherhood (Karolina Kurkova), go boxing (Lily Aldridge) and be fit enough for the cover of Sports Illustrated (Chrissy Teigen). What do they have in common?

Fueling up with organic plant-based meals delivered by NYC-based Sakara Life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These models arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just models anymore, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re super sexy athletes!â&#x20AC;? says Sakara cofounder Whitney Tingle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not so obsessed

with counting every single calorie anymore, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at nutrients and at what that food is doing for their body to fuel it, to give it energy.â&#x20AC;?

These models want functional foods that make them feel good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive on juice alone,â&#x20AC;? Tingle says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t starve themselves or count every calorie, their bodies need to be fueled with the right stuff to function at top performance.â&#x20AC;?

Sakara serves up the modelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favorite nosh when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More around the show, some of them might do something like no grains, or something more specific, but they really just trust us to really look at the nutrition of the meals and send them what is going to make them feel amazing,â&#x20AC;? she says.

What to eat to look like a supermodel

Work it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adding superfoods to your meal, like hemp seeds and chia seeds, you get a little extra boost of nutrients,â&#x20AC;? says Tingle. Sakaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meals work in several cups of leafy greens like kale (winter is its peak season, when it tastes best!)

Get that glow: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to make sure that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying hydrated; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of where that glow comes from.â&#x20AC;? Leafy greens are also good for this, and fats like coconut oil. Throw some seasonal beets, pomegranates and carrots in the mix, too.

Stay healthy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you eat a wide variety of clean whole foods that come straight from Mama Earth, they work as medicine in your body,â&#x20AC;? Tingle says, boosting metabolism, supporting immunity, balancing hormones and building and repairing cells.

There is no math involved.

You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.

Telecoms the Black lives Grinch that matter steals Net Yes, black lives matter.

I’m afraid of what the giant telecoms are trying to do.

They’re trying to be able to control and slow down everyone’s Internet! If current bills are passed, these would allow telecoms to act like gangsters, asking for protection money from Websites (slowing down every Website that can’t pay expensive new prioritization fees to a crawl). This would affect not only all of the U.S., but other countries around the world, too! The current FCC Chair isn’t listening to the millions of Americans who have spoken out about this, so we need to ramp up the pressure before it’s too late. We all share this beloved resource.

So while we are telling this to the NYPD and police forces across the country, maybe we can stop into the neighborhoods where the rate of death for black men and women is extremely high and remind the people taking those lives that those black lives matter also. Let’s up the protest if it is violence that we want to stop to include all lives being taken by EVERYONE as a problem. #BlackLivesMatter #AllLivesMatter CHRIS GLOVER, VIA EMAIL

Devils don’t expect to be playoff-bound NHL. Not much has gone right for the struggling Devils this season.

It was a few minutes after 10 p.m. last Saturday and Devils head coach Pete DeBoer was once again standing in front of an assembled media throng attempting to explain another night when very little went according to script.

Both coach and reporters had spent the better part of two-and-a-half hours watching the Devils drop a 4-1 decision to the Washington Capitals and falling to 10-13-4.

After the loss — New Jersey’s eighth in its last 10 games — it was mentioned to DeBoer that goaltender Cory Schneider had suggested the Devils did not possess the requisite “energy” in the opening 40 minutes necessary to win a game.

When DeBoer agreed with that assessment, the question was asked how much of the Devils’ issues By the numbers

66

Number of goals scored this season by the offensively challenged Devils — in contrast to 80 goals allowed on defense.

were effort-based and how much was a lack of execution.

Exasperated, DeBoer said, “It was everything.”

In three small words, the state of the 2014-15 New Jersey Devils had been addressed.

A little more than a quarter of the way into the season, an unsightly portrait of the Devils has begun to emerge which has been equally confusing and unacceptable for a franchise whose DNA is encoded with success.

Entering Monday night, the Devils had earned 24 points in 27 games, an average of 0.8 points per game. At this rate over 82 games, the Devils would

finish at just under 73 points, which would be the fewest points in a full season since the 1988-89 team finished with 63.

It would put the Devils in the draft lottery mix for the opportunity to draft either Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel with the first or second overall pick. Both McDavid and Eichel have been titled are considered generational talents, cornerstones for the franchises that land the top two picks in June’s entry draft in Sunrise, Florida.

Prior to Monday’s 2-1 win over Metropolitan Division bottom feeder Carolina, the Devils were 3-4-3 at home and 7-9-1 away from the Prudential Center.

“We have to be better everywhere,” Jaromir Jagr said. “Not just [at] home.

Everywhere.”

Otherwise?

“We’re not getting into the playoffs,” DeBoer said.

As reporters waited to enter the Cavaliers locker room before Monday night’s game in Brooklyn vs. the Nets, Jarrett Jack walked over with an envelope for his former teammates.

In it were black T-shirts that read, “I Can’t Breathe” in white lettering — the same shirt worn by Derrick Rose in pregame warmups before a game last Saturday.

Six players protested the non-indictment of officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of Eric Garner on Staten Island.

LeBron James and Kyrie Irving wore the shirts for the Cavaliers while Jack, Deron Williams, Alan Anderson and Kevin Garnett wore the shirts during pregame warmups for the Nets.

While many players have distanced themselves from social issues in the past, the Nets and Cavaliers felt as though they could not avoid speaking out in this instance.

pened,” Williams said.

“It’s not one of those things where people are saying this and cops are saying that. It’s there for you to see, so you just feel bad that a man lost his life because of that.”

“We are very, very socially conscious,” Jack said. “We aren’t just focused on ourselves as just athletes or what

goes on with just our sport on a day-to-day basis. Collectively, we understand that this is just an issue that needs to be addressed and the more attention we can bring and awareness we can bring to it, I think, is great. It’s not a color issue, it’s a people issue.

It’s a citizen issue.”

DAVID ROBERTSON GETTY IMAGES

Robertson era over in a flash David Robertson won’t be Mariano Rivera’s long-term successor after all. In a day highlighted by big moves made by the White Sox, the AL Central club inked Robertson to a four-year, $46 million deal. The Yankees never even made a formal offer to Robertson, according to ESPN, after signing reliever Andrew Miller and with Dellin Betances returning. METRO

Packers (10-3)

No. 6

Seahawks (9-4)

Colts (9-4)

Cardinals (10-3)

Steelers (8-5)

If the Packers and Seahawks met right now on a neutral field, you’d have to think long and hard about which team to bet on. Seattle has given up an average of 6.6 points the past three weeks.

Give the Colts credit for grabbing a one-point road win over the Browns, but in no way does this team look like a Super Bowl contender. Andrew Luck threw a pair of interceptions against Cleveland.

Calling fraud on this team right about now. In the past three weeks they’ve lost two games by 11-plus points and had a threepoint home win. They’re the Colts of the NFC — bad opponent bullies.

If only the Steelers took care of business against the league’s dregs earlier in the season, they’d be battling the Pats and Broncos for a top seed. Instead, they’ll have to scrap to make the playoffs.

No. 4

It’s gotten to the point with the Packers that if you don’t see doubledigits on the board within the first few minutes of the game, you wonder if there’s been a major injury. They had just seven points after one quarter Monday, but were up 31-7 on Atlanta by halftime.

No. 12

No. 9

No. 13

No. 10

Broncos (10-3)

Lions (9-4)

Chargers (8-5)

Bengals (8-4-1)

Remember that stretch in October when the Broncos were routinely beating teams by three touchdowns? That seems like a decade ago at this point.

Peyton hasn’t cracked 200 yards passing in the past two weeks.

When Calvin Johnson is healthy and the Lions are at home, they’re nearly unbeatable. Johnson has averaged 152 yards receiving over the past two weeks. Expect another big day from Megatron against Minnesota.

The Chargers nearly beat the Patriots at their own game on Sunday night, employing the old bendbut-don’t-break strategy, forcing three field goals.

But the Chargers need more out of Ryan Mathews soon.

Every game from here on out is obviously a playoff game for the Bengals. You should have little faith in Cincy, though, considering it was outscored 25-0 in the fourth quarter this past Sunday at home against the Steelers.

NBA No. 2

Nets seeking trade partners ESPN reported Tuesday that the Nets have started to reach out to teams across the league to let them know that Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez are all available via trade. METRO

No. 8

No. 14

Patriots (10-3)

Eagles (9-4)

Cowboys (9-4)

Ravens (8-5)

Bills (7-6)

Since Halloween, the Patriots have faced the Broncos, Colts, Lions, Packers and Chargers. They got through that brutal stretch with just one loss. They have AFC East opponents the rest of the way.

LeSean McCoy’s notquite-DeMarco-Murray streak of 100-yard rushing games ended at two against the Seahawks on Sunday as “Shady” was held to 50 yards on 17 carries.

That Thanksgiving loss to the Eagles still stings despite the Cowboys putting up 41 points at Chicago. Dallas can shut up its detractors by handing Philly its second straight home defeat Sunday.

The Ravens are back into their old mode of being the average team no one wants to face down the stretch. They’re a long shot to win it all, for sure, but that win at Miami was impressive.

Buffalo is 3-0 against the NFC this year. It will be hard to maintain that unblemished mark considering it hosts the Packers this Sunday. The Bills have Oakland in Week 16 and New England in Week 17.
