Queens man arrested after cop shot in head Crime. The officer involved in the Saturday incident is a five-year veteran.

The head of the city’s police union asked New Yorkers to pray for a 25-year-old cop who was clinging to life Sunday night after being shot in the head the day before.

Officer Brian Moore, a five-year veteran, remained in critical condition at Jamaica Hospital after undergoing surgery.

His alleged assailant, Demetrius Blackwell, was arrested on charges of attempted murder early Sunday, and ordered held without bail at his arraignment later in the day.

Moore, 25, and his partner, Officer Erik Jansen, were on patrol in plain clothes and an unmarked police car when they spotted Blackwell suspiciously adjusting something in the waistband of his pants around 6:15 p.m. on Saturday in the area of 212 Street and 104 Avenue, according to Police Commissioner Bill Bratton.

When the officers pulled up behind Blackwell and asked what he was doing, the suspect allegedly pulled out a gun and fired multiple times into the car.

Moore was hit several times in the head, authorities said, and Blackwell fled before the officers were able to return fire. The suspect, who is 35 years old, was apprehended about 90 minutes after the incident.

Jansen was not injured

“What we ask is that the public, along with the police officers, bow their head and pray — pray not only for Brian, but pray for his family.” Lynch during the melee. Moore, of Long Island, comes from a police family. His father and uncle are retired NYPD sergeants, and Moore has a cousin who is on the force.

“What we ask is that the public, along with the police officers bow their head and pray — pray not only for Brian, but pray for his family,” Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch told

NY1 on Sunday. “Just yesterday, they said goodbye to their son, sent him off to work and now they wait in a hospital corridor.”

Blackwell has a criminal history that includes charges of criminal possession of a weapon and robbery.

He was arrested early Sunday on charges of firstdegree attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

He faces up to life in prison if convicted of the charges, according to Queens DA Richard Brown.

Blackwell was arraigned later Sunday, and appeared in court in a torn jumpsuit, with his hands

cuffed and legs shackled, the AP reported. He did not enter a plea, and is due back on May 8.

Moore’s shooting makes him the fifth cop shot since December, when Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were shot and killed while sitting in their police car in Bed-Stuy.

Their deaths ignited more than a month of tension between City Hall and the police unions. In early January, two officers were shot in the Bronx while investigating a robbery.

Sharpton to Cuomo. Appoint special Garner prosecutor The Rev. Al Sharpton wants Gov. Andrew Cuomo to appoint a special prosecutor to re-investigate the police chokehold death of Eric Garner, the Staten Island black man whose final words, “I can’t breathe” have become a rallying cry against police misconduct.

Cuomo, in the wake of the Baltimore riots protesting the death in that city of Freddie Gray, says he will use executive powers to appoint a special prosecutor in similar cases, going forward, if lawmakers don’t pass his criminal justice reforms.

Sharpton wants the

governor to look both forward and backward, calling the failure of the grand jury in the Eric Garner case to charge any of the officers involved a symptom of a system unable to police itself.

“The reason that there are different results in different places is based

on local politics,” Sharpton said Saturday.

A grand jury in Staten Island cleared police officers of wrongdoing in the death of Garner last summer. Footage taken by a bystander showed Garner being subdued by police officers in what appeared to be a choke hold. NIDHI PRAKASH

Panda-lamb born at Staten Island Zoo Birth. Earl, the lamb with unique coloring, gets a bright welcome.

Pandas are an endangered species, but lambs who look just like pandas are even rarer.

Earl was born a week ago this past Saturday at the Staten Island Zoo, and zookeepers were surprised to see that he looked just like China’s famous black and white, bamboo-chomping bears.

Earl has black circles around his eyes, just like a panda, and he has adorable black markings on his ears as well.

He is the last of three lambs that were born at the zoo from April 16 to April 25.

The lambs share a father, Alex, and his mom’s name is Vale.

The lamb / HANDOUT Quoted

“He likes to explore. He doesn’t stray too far from his mom.”

Brian Morris

Earl’s half-sisters are named Dawn and Madison, so Earl will always have two playmates by his side.

Brian Morris, spokesperson for the zoo, told

Metro: “He likes to explore. He doesn’t stray too far from his mom.”

A 21-year-old NYU student has been arrested by North Korean authorities after allegedly trying to cross the border into North Korea illegally.

Won Moon Joo, a New Jersey resident with South Korean citizenship, is a junior at NYU’s Stern School of Business, NYU officials confirmed over the weekend.

A family friend of Joo’s, Crystal Lee, posted a plea for help on Stern’s Facebook page over the weekend.

“Anyone who knows a NYU Stern student from Tenafly named Won Moon Joo who left for a mission trip to China, please message me!

It’s an urgent matter!

I am one of his family friends and Won Moon is in trouble we need your help. Thanks!”

The NYU spokesman John Beckman said Joo is not taking classes this semester, and that the university was not aware that he was travelling — but that they are now working with the State Department and the South Korean Embassy. NIDHI PRAKASH

Brooklyn. Community gardeners head to housing court Tenders of a beloved community garden are going to Brooklyn housing court on Monday to defend their right to beautify a community garden that was once an eyesore.

“I’m hoping the case will be dismissed,” said Paula Segal, executive and legal director of 596 acres, a garden advocacy group.

The lot that is now Maple Street Community Garden, in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, sat vacant for years, collecting trash, Segal said. Community members transformed the lot in 2012, and continue to maintain the gardens.

Segal said the landlords, Michael and Joseph Makhani, tried to get rid of the garden last fall. Crews came with a truck, and dismantled a raised bed before cops arrived. Media reports at the time said the NYPD ordered the brothers to leave the garden after

they couldn’t provide proper proof of ownership.

Monday’s court appearance is the fourth for the eviction case. Segal said a group of gardeners and community members are planning to pack the small housing courtroom to take a stand against the “bully tactics” of the Makhani brothers, who both served three months in prison more than 15 years ago after pleading guilty to a foreclosed property scheme in Queens, The New York Times previously reported.

“The point of us is fighting in housing court,” Segal said, adding it’s important for the gardeners who transformed a lot to stand up to men who may or may not have a legal claim to the property.

Calls to the Makhani brothers’ lawyer were not immediately returned.

Inner Harbor district

Baltimore businesses hit by curfew Baltimore’s downtown Inner Harbor district, a tourist destination, resembled a ghost town on Friday and Saturday nights, normally its busiest times.

“Baltimore curfew is seriously hurting businesses glad to see it

lifted,” wrote someone on Twitter using the name God First.

But many tweets accused authorities of having applied the curfew selectively and mostly in black neighborhoods.

Asked to respond to criticism that the curfew was enforced more rigorously in black neighborhoods than elsewhere, a Baltimore Police spokes-

man said law enforcement was concentrating resources in areas of greatest concern.

“Our constitutional and moral obligation is to work to keep the city of Baltimore safe,” Captain J. Eric Kowalczyk said at a media briefing.

Baltimore residents praised the decision by prosecutor Marilyn Mosby to charge one of the of-

ficers involved in Gray’s arrest with murder and five others with lesser crimes.

Mosby said the state medical examiner ruled Gray’s death a homicide.

She said he was unlawfully arrested and the officers repeatedly ignored his pleas for medical help while he was handcuffed, shackled and lying face down in the back of a police van. REUTERS

Baltimore lifts curfew Protest. Baltimore police arrested at least a dozen people on Saturday for violating the curfew.

The mayor of Baltimore on Sunday lifted a night curfew imposed on the city last week to stem a spate of looting and arson that followed the funeral of a young black man who died from injuries suffered while in police custody.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she believed sufficient calm had returned to allow her to end the 10 p.m.-5 a.m. curfew, which took effect last Tuesday after protests over the death of 25-yearold Freddie Gray turned violent on Monday.

“My goal has always been to not have the curfew in place a single day longer than was necessary,” the mayor said. “I believe we have reached that point today.”

The mayor said the Maryland National Guard would begin withdrawing from the streets over the next week.

The surprise announcement on Friday by the city’s chief prosecutor that she was bringing criminal charges against the six police officers involved in Gray’s arrest has helped to defuse out-

rage over his death.

The protests in the mostly black city of 625,000 have been a reprise of nationwide anger that erupted last year after the deaths of unarmed black men in confrontations with police in Missouri, New York and elsewhere.

“What we saw over the past few days is not just the resiliency of our city, but also our communities coming together,” the mayor told a news conference. “We want to heal our city.”

Republican Gov. Larry Hogan welcomed the decision by the Democratic mayor, who had faced criticism for what some saw as a slow initial response to Monday’s violence.

He said an additional 1,000 police officers and 3,000 National Guard troops had been brought in to help keep the peace but were now going home.

Hogan was among those who expressed concern over the financial impact of the curfew, which forced bars and restaurants to close early.

Quoted

“It’s going to take a while for us to get totally back to normal, but I think lifting the curfew is a good idea.” Gov. Hogan

Italy says 10 migrants die, 4,800 rescued

About 4,800 migrants were plucked from boats off the coast of Libya over the weekend and 10 bodies were recovered, Italy’s coast guard and navy said, in what looked to be the biggest rescue operation of its kind so far this year.

Two weeks after nearly 900 boat people drowned in the worst Mediterranean shipwreck in living memory, the flow of people desperate to reach a better life in Europe has accelerated as people

smugglers take advantage of calmer seas.

Seven bodies were found on two large rubber boats packed with migrants and rescuers plucked from the sea the corpses of three others who had jumped into the water when they saw a merchant ship approaching, the coast guard said.

Some 10 Italian vessels, four private boats and a French ship acting on behalf of the European border control agency took part in the rescue off Libya, coordinated

by Italy, the country that receives the biggest number of Mediterranean migrants. REUTERS

Executives close to Charter reach out to Time Warner Cable on merger: WSJ

McDonald’s faces ‘show me’ moment with new CEO strategy

Small earthquake shakes LA

Top executives close to Charter Communications have reached out to management at Time Warner Cable to discuss a possible merger of the cable operators, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

John Malone, chairman of Charter’s biggest shareholder Liberty Broadband, called Time Warner Cable’s Chief Executive Officer Rob Marcus “in recent days” to express Charter’s interest in pursuing friendly deal talks, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.

McDonald’s new Chief Executive Steve Easterbrook is set to unveil his plan to revive growth as the world’s largest hamburger chain struggles to win back consumers and investors.

He’ll be aiming to persuade people such as Janna Sampson, co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments, which bought McDonald’s shares on the cheap more than a decade ago and eventually held more than 7 million shares as the company spiffed up its restaurants, improved service and expanded its menus.

A mild earthquake rattled the Los Angeles area on Sunday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), causing no reported damage.

The quake with a magnitude of 3.9 struck at about 4 a.m. and was centered near View ParkWindsor Hills, about 10 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles, the USGS said.

Shaking described as weak could be felt east to Riverside and south to Irvine, it said.

No damage was reported, according to local media.

A stronger quake of 4.2 struck on Saturday at midday near Kalamazoo, Michigan, the USGS said.

Three rescued eight days after Nepal earthquake

Survivors. Tents have been pitched in Kathmandu’s main sports stadium and on its golf course.

Three people were pulled alive from the rubble of their home eight days after Nepal’s devastating earthquake, as a supply logjam threatened to hamper disaster relief efforts bolstered by the arrival of U.S. aircraft and troops.

The small-scale rescue, announced on Sunday by a home ministry official, brought fresh hope to a badly-hit district northeast of the capital Kathmandu, but about 50 bodies were also discovered on a northern trekking route obliterated by an avalanche that the April 25 quake triggered.

U.S. military aircraft and personnel were due to begin helping ferry relief supplies to stricken areas outside the capital, a U.S. Marines spokeswoman said, after arriving in Nepal on Sunday, a day later than expected.

Death toll

7,059

The death toll rose to 7,059, and the figure was likely to rise further as an entire village was carried away by the same avalanche and scores more people — both locals and foreign trekkers — were missing, officials said.

sentative Jamie McGoldrick said the government needed to loosen its normal customs restrictions, as criticism mounted over a pile-up of aid at Kathmandu Airport, Nepal’s only international gateway.

Ganga Sagar Pant, the head of the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal, said the avalanche had wiped out the village of Langtang.

“All that is left is scattered belongings like bags and coats, all the houses have been thrown down the mountain,” he said. “There is nothing left. I don’t think anyone can survive that.”

The village in the northern district of Rasuwa was on a popular trekking route and had 55 guesthouses. It was not clear how many people were there at the time of the avalanche. REUTERS

Philippine rebels kill most wanted Islamist militant in south The Philippines’ most wanted Islamist militant, who escaped after a raid in January that killed 44 police commandos, was killed on Sunday in a fire-

fight with Muslim rebels, officials said.

Protracted police operations to arrest three Islamist high-value targets had become the biggest political crisis in five years for President Benigno Aquino and put at risk his government’s peace efforts with Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

A proposed law creating a new autonomous

government for minority Muslims in the south of the mainly Catholic state in the poor Southeast Asia state has stalled as some lawmakers, civil society groups and activists called on Aquino to resign. “[Abdul] Basit Usman was killed in a firefight in Guindulungan, Maguindanao, at around noon Sunday,” Herminio

“Usman was the second target of the operations conducted by the PNP-SAF to capture Zulkifli bin Hir, alias Marwan, last Jan. 25,” he said referring to a commando raid on a Muslim rebel lair in the town of Mamasapano. REUTERS

1. RAM TOUGH: Carly Fiorina made her bones in business, and she is expected to announce her bid for the GOP presidential nomination. The former CEO of Hewlett Packard made heads spin with the weird “demon sheep” commercials she used in her 2010 campaign for Senate. She won the primary, but then Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer fleeced her in the general election. You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to be president, but Dr. Ben Carson (who is one) hopes it won’t hurt. He was the first person to successfully separate conjoined twins attached at the head, and he’s also hopping into the Republican kerfuffle counting on strong conservative support. And here’s an old joke: What do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians? A bass player.

Or you could call him Mike Huckabee, who plays the bass. The former governor of Arkansas/TV host will round out the GOP’ers announcing for the Oval Office this week.

2. WANT CHIPS WITH THAT?: Hillary Clinton’s “Smaller is Better” cam-

paign tour steams into California where she will hang with the rich and famous.

No diners? Probably not.

It’s a fundraising trip for the 2016 election which some analysts believe could see both parties and their pals spending $4 billion.

But perhaps with luck we’ll get a Hollywood reprise of Clinton’s most recent role: Jackie-O goes to Chipotle.

3. WEARING NIKES, BUT NOT RUNNING: Although politicians always say they despise the supersized influence of money, whenever they can grab dollars they do so faster than retirees at a casino.

So Barack Obama will be jetting to Oregon to raise bucks for the Democratic Party. He’ll also be at Nike headquarters to talk up a big new trade deal with Pacific nations.

His message to Congressional opponents (including some in his own party): Just do it.

Ohio’s Kasich says presidential run depends on money Ohio Gov. John Kasich said on Friday his 2016 presidential aspirations depend on whether he can raise enough money to compete with a host of rivals for the Republican nomination.

Kasich, 62, is considering a run for his party’s nomination, which would make him a potentially potent force in the Republican field as he represents an important swing state in presidential elections.

But with more than a dozen Republicans either already in the race or about to enter it, Kasich could easily be just another

face on a crowded stage searching for his own breakout moment.

Kasich, a former chairman of the House of Representatives Budget Committee who was reelected as Ohio’s governor in November, sounded like a presidential candidate during a 45-minute session with reporters at a lunch sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.

Kasich, who considered running for the White House in 2000 before bowing out of the race, said he was optimistic that he will be able to move forward with launching a campaign, but did not indicate when he would make up his mind.

“I’m going to determine whether I’ll have the resources to win. If I don’t

John Kasich / GETTY IMAGES Quoted

“The country’s got a lot of problems.

I think whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, the anxiety is not much different.” Kasich have the resources and I can’t see a path to victory, I’m not going to do that,” Kasich said. REUTERS

1 in 5 women experience ďŹ broids during their childbearing years. Half of all women have ďŹ broids by age 50.

Uterine ďŹ broids (Myoma or Leiomyoma) are very common and treatable. Uterine Fibroid Embolization treatment at USA Vascular Centers can shrink ďŹ broids up to 50% within 3-6 months. Treatment is a minimally invasive, non- surgical outpatient proceducre with a short recovery and no hospitalization.

What led you all the way to Kabul?

About two and a half years ago I stumbled across a tiny newspaper article about girls skateboarding in Kabul.

The very idea of Afghan girls on skateboards captured my imagination and I thought it was a shame that such a visual story was compressed into a small

column of text.

Being in Afghanistan must have been a challenge.

Indeed. Being a Westerner, a woman and alone working in Afghanistan was challenging in many ways.

There were so many scenes that I longed to capture but couldn’t. I didn’t want to risk my actions being resented or my motives misunderstood. Unfortunately, my first visit fell during a particularly violent month that saw

a number of Taliban attacks and bombings across the city, which was also quite challenging. The fact that these children display such optimism within a country that has suffered terrible violence is just astounding.

What reaction do you want from people?

I really hope viewers will see themselves, or their friends, daughters, sisters, cousins and so on in the faces of these girls.

Let’s make up names for the new royal baby!

Today, Jim Carrey is disappointed, Don Cheadle is disappointed in his disappointment, Patty Duke is excited about the new arrival, Audra McDonald is procrastinating and Whitney Cummings is having delusions of grandeur. @JimCarrey: Big let down in vegas. Was that a boxing match or Dancing With The Stars? @IamDonCheadle: #MayPac People want to see blood in boxing and if they don’t they think it’s a sham. That fight was “correct” IMHO, albeit a let down. @pattyduke_id: Bless the new princess. #RoyalBaby Congrats to the parents! @AudraEqualityMc: Sat down 2 sort dirty clothes 2 do laundry...1 hour ago.

Josh Trank probably not celebrating Star Wars Day today

GOSSIP

As you might have heard, Kate Middleton — well, make that Catherine Elizabeth MountbattenWindsor, Duchess of Cambridge — gave birth to her second child, a girl, on Saturday. That’s the first princess born into the royal family in 25 years, by the way.

The royal couple has so far not announced what the newborn girl’s name is, which means we’re living in that glorious,

heady and fleeting time when she could theoretically be called anything. And you know what that means — time for some baseless speculation!

Sure, the oddsmakers over in Great Britain are heavily favoring either Charlotte or Alice, and a lot of sentimental folks are hoping for Diana, but we have some suggestions of our own for Will and Kate to

Spice Girls reunite, but with a new Scary Spice

David Beckham’s 40th birthday bash in Morocco also served as an impromptu reunion for the Spice Girls — well, most of them, at least. Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham marked the occasion with a Twitter photo from Marrakech featuring herself, Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell, Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton, Melanie “Sporty Spice” Chisholm and … Eva Longoria? The original Scary Spice, Mel B, was apparently unable to make it to the party due to “America’s Got Talent” obligations, so the girls apparently just grabbed the nearest suitable substitute to stand in. For the record, if the girls want to go on tour with Longoria as the new Scary Spice, I’m all for it.

Zig-a-zig-ah, indeed.

consider. We hereby dub the latest addition to the royal family Princess …

1. Beyonce 2. Daenerys 3. Kate Jr. 4. Claire the Spare 5. Camilla 6. George 7. Princess 8. No, really, Daenerys 9. #RoyalBaby 10. Ultron OK, fine. What do you think the new princess should be named?

It’s May 4, adorably known as “Star Wars Day” — “May the fourth be with you,” get it? — but all is not sunny and celebratory in the galaxy far, far away. Director Josh Trank announced over the weekend that he had “made a personal decision” to step down from helming a 2018 “Star Wars” spin off film, but the move comes after months of rumors about his “erratic” behavior while directing this summer’s “Fan-

tastic Four” reboot. “If you’ve got someone who can’t answer questions or who isn’t sure or is hiding, that’s not good,” a source tells the Hollywood Reporter. And there was something about his dogs being terrible.

Sources say Simon Kinberg, producer of both “Fantastic Four” and the in-development “Star Wars” film, reported back to Lucasfilm about Trank’s troubling behavior, leading to the split.

So … happy Star Wars Day?

Jenner still on the hook for car accident

While he’s been riding high after his big Diane Sawyer interview about being transgender, Bruce Jenner still has that pesky Malibu car accident back in February to deal with.

The former Olympian and reality-TV star is facing a wrongful death suit by the adult stepchildren of the woman

who died in the accident after Jenner rear-ended her, claiming that Jenner was “careless and negligent,” according to Radar Online.

He’s also still facing potential vehicular manslaughter charges, and he was reportedly massively underinsured at the time of the accident.

Sounds dicey.

This is what a ‘Black Widow’ movie would look like If you’ve been asking why Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow character can’t get her own Marvel film, consider this a reason to maybe not do one. “Saturday Night Live” picks up the slack where Marvel has been lacking, offering up a trailer for a film focused on the female Avenger, and well? It’s not exactly

Girl … / YOUTUBE

“The Winter Soldier,” to put it lightly. “From Marvel Studios and the writers of ‘27 Dresses’ comes the story of a superhero and her super romance,” the trailer goes. It would be a lot funnier if I couldn’t actually imagine someone at the studio thinking this is in fact a good idea.

CERSEI MAKES A POWER PLAY

‘Thrones’ on the Web

As the editor-in-chief for Winter Is Coming, Dan Selcke spends his time writing about the latest “Game of Thrones” news and preparing for the long night that will have no end.

Read more of him at Winteriscoming.net.

“Sons of the Harpy,” the latest episode of “Game of Thrones,” is light on forward momentum and heavy on people getting stabbed to death in fight scenes. It’s a bloody, kinetic hour of TV.

Episode MVPs Think Cersei’s latest move will come back to haunt her?

MACALL B. POLAY, COURTESY OF HBO

The meatiest chunks of “Sons of the Harpy” took place in King’s Landing, where Cersei Lannister

militarized a group of religious fanatics called the Sparrows and pointed them toward the Tyrell family as revenge for trying to push her out of Tommen’s life. While this might look like a win for Cersei, she may come to regret handing the Sparrows so much power. Cersei has always had a tendency to pull the trigger before aiming the gun, and without Tywin or Tyrion around to rein her in, there’s no telling whom the bullet might hurt.

Speaking of Tyrion, he’s trapped on a boat with Jorah Mormont, his kidnapper. We only get a brief scene, but it’s fun to see Tyrion waste no time pushing Jorah’s buttons.

This should be a fun trip.

Although “Sons of the Harpy” checked in with many of our major players, they were mostly getting ready for future episodes.

To make up for it, we

got some satisfying fight scenes, including one in which Jaime and Bronn, newly arrived in Dorne, felled their unwelcoming welcome party in a bloody scuffle in the sand. Also, kudos to Jaime for catching a sword slash with his golden hand — it had to be good for something.

Our watch for next week begins The other big battle this week took place in Meereen, where Barristan Selmy and Grey Worm were confronted by a group of guerrilla fighters unhappy with Daenerys Targaryen’s rule. The show has stayed away from cliffhangers this season, but we will have to wait to discover their fate. Would their deaths be enough to convince the Mother of Dragons to let her children out of their cage?

TV tourism

Croatia planning a ‘Game of Thrones’ museum For years, the Croatian city of Dubrovnik has stood in for King’s Landing. The show’s popularity has brought a lot of tourism to the city, and the government is hoping to ensure people keep visiting after the show has wrapped by constructing a “Game of Thrones” museum.

Dubrovnik recently purchased the original Iron Throne prop, so if you want to pretend to be the ruler of Westeros, you know where to go.

Matthew Hussey tells us how to ‘Get the Guy’ Interview. The dating guru sounds off on nagging, taking initiative and showing value.

Matthew Hussey might be young, but he’s not inexperienced. The dating expert has helped women as old as 83 find love. We caught up with Hussey after his “Get the Guy: Live” seminar in New York in April.

You’re only 27. How did you become so influential at such a young age?

Women have heard a lot of psychologist and aphoristic stuff: be you, be the most confident you, open your heart, blah blah blah. I don’t say, “Here are general principles.”

I think of what texts women want to get and how they should respond [to someone else’s texts].

That’s what’s been very powerful about it.

So why are you still single?

At the moment, I’m having a great time and deriving lots of meaning and fulfillment from my work and my friends and the women that I see, and I have a great time with it.

Matthew Hussey is the author of the dating handbook for women “Get the Guy.” / PROVIDED

What are the most

Real talk

How do you approach serious topics with a man without coming off as threatening?

It’s about maintaining your composure as a woman and showing that you’re in control.

You can have someone who keeps flaking on you, and you might say, “It ruined my whole day waiting for you,” but you can say instead, “You know what? You’re flakier than I remembered. I arranged some stuff around you, but you’re not here,” and just let them know.

important aspects of your approach?

The reality of what is different about my approach is that it gives women the ability to be proactive in their love lives without losing femininity. I show women if you want to text

a guy first, that’s fine, but here’s what you should say if you want to get in touch with a guy who’s gone cold without seeming desperate or needy.

How can women get men to approach them?

“The Look,” which I teach, is one way, and it will make a huge difference.

The other way is to be close. Get near him and just ask for a favor — that [seems] completely innocent.

How can women get their men to step up their game after they’ve been together for a long time?

I think the key step is to up your own game. I feel that a lot of people who say their partner has gotten lazy have gotten lazy themselves. You only have the right to ask for something once you’re already doing it for your partner.

What if you’re trying to get your husband to take out the garbage?

People argue when they should get back to a place where they say, “You and I are teammates and taking out the garbage isn’t important, but it’s a little thing that shows me you’re in my corner.”

Dating IRL. Here’s what I learned in a daylong workshop about attracting men

Matthew Hussey’s workshops sometimes have more than 1,000 women in attendance. / PROVIDED

I glanced around the auditorium at the Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College and watched hundreds of women, all different shapes and sizes, races and ages, jump up and pump their fists into the air and scream, “Yeah!�

I couldn’t believe that my best friend Julia had convinced me to sign up for a seven-hour seminar on “getting the guy� with Matthew Hussey. We both read his book “Get the Guy� after we heard glowing praise from a friend of a friend. “He essentially changed my life,� she had said.

When I bought the book, I was surprised to see that there was nothing gimmicky about it: Be confident, set your standards, and men will come flocking.

A few weeks later, I watched Hussey take the stage.

He looked at the crowd with a winsome

Quoted

Hussey promised the 800-something women, mostly in their late 20s or early 30s, that he could help them manage these situations and be more proactive in their love lives without appearing desperate. half-smile and said earnestly, “Love is s—. It sucks so badly.�

Hussey promised the 800-something women, mostly in their late 20s or early 30s, that he could help them manage these situations and be more proactive in their love lives without appearing desperate.

Hussey spent the next several hours alternating between the theoretical — the idea of demon-

strating value — and the practical: how to approach a man at the bar and the most effective pickup lines.

But Hussey also explored in depth how to become more attractive to the opposite sex, mostly by appearing confident. Tips included talking to more people in general in order to become more outgoing and not giving priority to a man in your life until he earns it.

I haven’t tried any of Hussey’s lines since the workshop, but even following just 10 to 20 percent of Hussey’s advice will bring a different energy into your life. On Saturday, at a bar, after three women tumbled out of a single toilet, I turned to the man behind me and joked, “I bet you wish you had been there with them.�

When I came out of the bathroom, he stopped me. “All cards

on the table, I wish I had been there with you,� he said It wasn’t an intentional flirtation, but Hussey’s advice most definitely makes women more approachable and dynamic.

As for Julia? She has nine first dates scheduled this week. ANDREA PARK

Linda Cardellini won’t crack up There are a lot of characters horrified by the bizarre things Kristen Wiig’s Alice does in the comedy “Welcome to Me.” But one who’s not horrified is her best friend Gina, played

by Linda Cardellini. The “Freaks and Geeks” star — currently on Netflix’s “Bloodline” and, briefly, in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” — liked the way Gina made Alice and the film around her seem slightly more serious.

Playing the straight man

to very funny people can be very difficult, one imagines. Was it hard not to crack up and ruin takes?

Sometimes! It could be hard to keep a straight face. We did a 15-minute improv where she hides in the bathroom, and we just kept going back and forth, back and forth. But [Alice] is so heartbreaking. I don’t think the audience is ever laughing at this woman with mental illness. You’re laughing with her at certain times and feeling terrified and bad for her at others.

Gina plays an important role in grounding the movie, showing that Alice isn’t just a loner but someone with real relationships.

The relationship between Alice and Gina is really

fun. It’s like this platonic romantic comedy between the two of them. They come together and fall apart. I loved the way I was able to add meaning to the story for her.

What kind of backstory was worked out for them?

We imagined that her mental illness didn’t totally surface until she was a little bit older. There’s a part of Alice that Gina knows that no one else really does, except for her family. That comes from being friends since they were little kids. They love each other very much.

There’s a part of Gina that admires the bravery that Alice clearly has.

Mental illness can be a tricky subject to deal with in any film.

I was drawn to the idea

Linda Cardellini, far right, plays the best friend of Kristen Wiig’s lottery winner in “Welcome to Me.” SUZANNE HANOVER

that mental illness is hard for someone who has mental illness, but it’s also difficult for the people who are there for them. It’s hard to watch somebody go through something or be destructive toward themselves.

The people who love them have a difficult time with that because it’s hard to watch them be hurt or hurt themselves. [The film] doesn’t treat it as this quirky little problem. There’s a fine line.

The two tones are really intertwined here.

That’s something I really liked about “Freaks and Geeks,” that you can take something that’s serious and painful and show it in a way that people can relate to in a real way but also in a way that people can laugh at it.

In other news You actually suddenly pop up in “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” Were you under lock and key not to reveal that?

Yeah. I didn’t even tell my parents and my family. Then it leaked on the Internet that I was somehow in it. I got a lot of heat for that from them. [Laughs] I imagine you were probably used to keeping secrets from your stint on “Mad Men,” where Matthew Weiner was adamant about people not revealing spoilers.

I don’t like spoilers either. After I was done with the show, I was invited to be in the table reads. I would politely decline. I just love that show. I prefer to have things surprise me.

The Trans-vengers Comics. Is it time for a transgender superhero?

The comics world has a long and proud tradition of pushing the envelope for social issues, finding entertaining ways to make the case for progressive ideas, so tackling the next civil rights hurdle by introducing a transgender superhero should be a no-brainer.

With “Avengers: Age of Ultron” set to add generously to Marvel’s $7 billion in global box office, the company certainly has the clout and safety net to take a few risks, like putting transgender issues front and center in a studio film.

It’s not such a crazy idea, right? “I say right on,” RuPaul tells us. “Actually, all superheroes are transgender. All superheroes are trans-something.

That’s what makes them superheroes. The reason we, as a culture, identify with superheroes is that we know there is a force in each and every one of us that usually other people can’t see.”

Hayden Black, writer of the upcoming animated series “Gen Zed,” concurs. “I think it’s long overdue,” Black says. “But I want to make sure that it’s done right, that it’s done correctly. Lazy writing and tropes and stereotypes can do far more damage than even ignoring it.”

Supposing Marvel were to re-introduce one of its movie heroes as transgender, which do-gooder should it be?

“Actually, all superheroes are transgender.

All superheroes are trans-something. That’s what makes them superheroes.” RuPaul The Hulk’s entire persona is centered around transformation, so that could be an easy — and high-profile — choice.

Or, since we’re set to see yet another iteration of him onscreen soon, how about Spider-Man? The comics already have Spider-Woman and “Spider-Gwen,” so a woman slinging webs would fit just fine.

Black has some surprising suggestions, though: “It would be

interesting to see Judge Dredd, someone who has put forward such a mask of uber-masculinity in a Herculean effort to cover who they truly are. Or the Punisher, he would be fantastic. I mean, the Punisher’s fairly torn to begin with, so a whole new layer of emotions for them to deal with would be phenomenal.”

What have noticed there, while they had bulbs, you done lately? incandescent avoided using them due JOANNE REINARD @metronewyork letters@metro.us

Mansi Prakash was in high school when she founded her nonprofit, Brighter Today, which distributes eco-friendly CFL light bulbs to households in developing countries.

Now a junior at New York University, Prakash has won Glamour Magazine’s Top 10 College Women prize thanks to her efforts in cutting energy bills for poor families by 80 percent. We spoke with the overachieving economics major about her recent win and her plans for the future.

to high electricity costs.

I was stunned that this issue had become such a severe roadblock to the villagers: It prevented students from studying and inhibited women from working at home.

I decided to make a change that summer and implemented CFL bulbs in 12 households.

How did you finance your project?

I carried out the project on a very small scale in 2010 with 10 families and purchased and provided bulbs through my own pocket money.

In 2014, Brighter Today

was one of the winners of the Social Venture Challenge and named a Resolution Fellow at the Clinton Global Initiative University Conference.

When we began on the groundwork during the summer of 2014, we were lucky enough to partner with Philips Lighting — who has sponsored 100 percent of the CFL bulbs since then.

How do you manage your project in India from New York?

We have an on-theground team of 14 people who facilitate the process of collecting and implementing CFL bulbs, including village leaders and volunteers.

What are your hobbies, outside of saving the world?

Baking and photography.

What’s next Brighter Today has one blind spot: villages that don’t have access to electricity at all. To help address that problem, Prakash has been working with Philips on a solar panel prototype to bring “free, clean, sustainable power that will light up a home for a lifetime,” she says. In addition to 24/7 lighting, this new venture, called Light for Life, is also working on a station for recharging mobile phones using daylight, a plastic bottle, bleach and water solution, solar panels and LED bulbs. “The device has been assembled with local materials readily available, and it’s been tested for nine months with encouraging results,” says Prakash. “It requires no maintenance, is easy to install and has zero running costs.” Sounds like another winner.

It’s finals season, but that doesn’t mean you have to stock up on Red Bull or camp out at the library for the next week. Freaking out? Try these three expert tips on prepping for your year-end exams and tackling those last papers, and you’ll not only get aces, you’ll get some sleep, too.

Organize Step one: organize and prioritize. Know your exam schedule so you can plan which tests to study for first. For classes that have a final paper in lieu of a test, chipping away at it a little at a time is much better than writing it all the night before it’s due. Annie Brown, an English major and writing tutor at Mc-

Daniel College in Maryland, tells her students to turn the paper-writing process into a series of tasks, from researching and outlining to drafting and finalizing. “On days when I know I need to complete a lot of smaller tasks, I make a list of what I’m going to do and when,” she says. “If I have a lot of tasks but don’t know in advance which ones I’ll be best equipped to accomplish on a particular day, I’ll list out everything I need to do and then write ‘Pick Two’ or ‘Pick Three’ at the top.”

Predict Practice tests are not only a great way to study the coursework, they also prepare you for the kinds of questions you’ll find on the exam. “Go through each chapter of a book, or through your notes, and make up a test like an instructor would,” says Carmen Christopher, director of the Learning Center at Meredith College in North Carolina.

“Then, with no books or notes beside you, take the test.” Just be sure you’re making a point to learn the material and not just memorizing the

answers to your practice questions.

Sleep Turns out enough rest, and not the token allnight study session, may help your odds of scoring an A. “Never underestimate the value of a good night’s sleep,” says Linda Gorman, a senior at the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University. “If you’re thinking about cramming all night, it’s not always a good idea. Sometimes having your head on straight is better than staying up late and wearing yourself out.”

Extra credit “A lot of students tend to get overwhelmed by final papers, so I like to remind them that the college writing center is a great place to go to make papers less stressful,” says Brown. “Writing tutors are trained to help students at any stage of the writing process, so we help a lot of students with brainstorming and outlining papers. It makes the writing process much more manageable.”

A two-year degree can really pay off Sometimes, a bachelor’s degree isn’t the best, or most lucrative, option.

Steven Polasck liked math and science in high school. The 27-year-old Texan considered attending a four-year college but ultimately decided to use his strengths to get a two-year degree in instrumentation from Texas State Technical College.

“I went to work on the Monday after graduation,” said Polasck, who monitors and fixes systems at a Valero Energy Corp. refinery. “The first year, I made almost $80,000.”

An associate’s degree

has long been considered an inferior alternative to a bachelor’s degree. But it is becoming apparent that some two-year degrees offer much higher earnings than the typical four-year degree — at a fraction of the cost.

While the average starting salary for an undergraduate with a bachelor’s degree in Texas is around $40,000 per year, many technical associate’s degrees offer firstyear pay of more than $70,000, according to College Measures, which tracks earnings and other outcomes for higher education. Some wellpaying jobs require less than two years of study.

The earnings advantage of some two-year degrees can persist throughout a worker’s lifetime.

More than one in four

people with associate’s degrees end up making more than the average of somebody with a bachelor’s degree, according to a 2011 report by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workplace.

Polasck said it is not unusual for experienced people with this type of degree to make up to $150,000 a year with “reasonable” amounts of overtime. Job prospects are good even with declining oil prices since refineries produce gas and other byproducts.

“If I can go to this school for two years and not be in much debt at all at the end and be making pretty good money to start, why wouldn’t I do that?” Polasck said. “It’s common sense.” Reuters

“I went to work on the Monday after graduation.

The first year, I made almost $80,000.”

Steven Polasck, Valero Energy Corp.

Registered nurses make a median salary of $65,000 and need only a two-year degree.

What you can earn Four of the 30 fastest-growing job categories, as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, require associate’s degrees. The jobs include dental hygienist (median annual earnings of $70,210),

diagnostic medical sonographers ($65,860), occupational therapy assistants ($53,240) and physical therapist assistants ($52,160).

Other jobs with strong growth and above-average pay that require two-year degrees are funeral service managers ($66,720), web developers ($62,500), electrical and

Don’t have a cow this Mother’s Day We all look forward to this Sunday, May 10, when we celebrate Mother’s Day and the cherished bond between mother and child.

Ironically, dairy cows — worldwide symbols of motherhood — never get to see their babies.

The newborn calves are torn from their mothers at birth and turned into veal cutlets, so we can drink the milk that nature designed for them.

The distraught mothers bellow for days, hoping for their return. Most cows spend their lives

chained on a concrete floor, with no access to the outdoors. Each year, they are impregnated artificially to keep the milk flowing. When their production drops, around four years of age, they are turned into hamburgers.

This Sunday, let’s honor motherhood and our natural compassion by replacing cow’s milk and other dairy products, all laden with fat and cholesterol, with delicious, healthful, cruelty-free nut or soy-based milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream.

These are available in every supermarket.

Jets ace the 2015 draft NFL draft. The Jets addressed their needs in a major way this past weekend.

3 SPORTS

It was, by all accounts, an absolute dream first draft for New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan and by proxy, his first-year head coach Todd Bowles.

A look at how the Jets’ first draft under Maccagnan and Bowles panned out: Round 1: Leonard Williams – DE (USC)

If the Jets did nothing else but take this edge rusher than the whole three days in Chicago would have still been an undoubted success. Williams was widely regarded as the best player in the draft, a player who fell to the Jets at the sixth overall pick.

Williams is raw and just 20 years old, but his upside is tremendous. Given that Bowles is blitz-happy, pass rushers will be at a premium. This was a great move from the Jets to get such a talented player and be willing to take the best player on their board without moving up. There are some concerns about his shoulder and how he disappears for stretches of a game, but he’s as good of a draft pick as the Jets have had since, well ... Darrelle Revis.

Grade: A

Former Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty will get a chance to compete for the Jets’ starting QB job. / GETTY IMAGES Report card A look at the Jets’ lateround picks: •

•

Jarvis Harrison, OG, Texas A&M — The dreaded “work ethic” question is an issue for the Jets’ fifth-rounder.

Grade: B Deon Simon, NT, Northwestern State — The seventh-rounder is raw and has a lack of explosiveness.

Grade: C -

Round 2: Devin Smith – WR (Ohio State) His route-running needs work and his hands kept him from being a firstrounder, but Smith is a deep threat and is good value in the second round.

He’ll stretch the field for the Jets, which will open things up underneath for Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker. He’s also got some wheels and will add to special teams as a gunner.

Nice pick.

Grade: B+ Round 3: Lorenzo Mauldin – LB (Louisville)

He’s not the biggest edge rusher out there, but Mauldin hits hard and plays hard, not surprising given his history and difficult childhood. Definitely a solid mid-round selection with good upside. Good at finding the ball and won’t get lost in traffic. Tremendous effort player.

Grade: B Round 4: Bryce Petty – QB (Baylor) The roar at the team’s facility when the Jets made this pick was deafening as Petty will be the latest quarterback anointed as

the team’s answer under center. He has a quick release and is accurate in short-to-intermediate throws but does struggle with the deep ball placement. Petty hasn’t played much under center, will need a redshirt year before he can be ready to compete. He has a good skillset though. Even if he doesn’t pan out to be a starter he could be a really nice backup.

2015 NFL draft

Giants address several needs While it’s obviously too early to tell whether any of the prospects picked in the 2015 NFL draft pan out, one thing is for sure, Big Blue added some talented players with great college pedigrees this past weekend. A look at what was addressed: First and foremost, the Giants needed to get their act together along the offensive line, as the running game has sagged in recent years, and Eli Manning gets skittish in the pocket any time

there’s pressure in his face. Enter the massive (6-foot-6, 329 pounds) and talented Ereck Flowers, who was arguably the best overall player on the Miami Hurricanes last season. Flowers, the No. 9 pick, should instantly start at right tackle – pushing incumbent Justin Pugh inside to guard. It may not be fair for Pugh, but the move actually helps improves the line. It’s a win-win for Manning, and that’s all that should matter for the Giants.

Outside of offensive line play, the Giants severely lacked any depth

Landon Collins appears to be a steal. / GETTY IMAGES

and playmakers in the back-end of their secondary. Former Alabama

safety Landon Collins changes all of that. Collins (6-feet, 230 pounds) not

only has the immense talent and pedigree to boost the Giants’ safety corps, but he now has a massive chip on his shoulder after having to wait until Day 2 of the draft to hear his name called. The Giants ended his miserable experience by trading up in the second round with the Tennessee Titans for the first pick of that round.

“I was hurt. My dream was to go in the first round, and now my dream is going to be sure that all those other teams who could have taken me are disappointed,” admitted Collins. TONY WILLIAMS

Pac Man cries injury After Manny Pacquiao lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr. by unanimous decision Saturday night, news broke from Pacquiao’s camp that he suffered a right shoulder injury two weeks ago. The injury was so severe that Pacquiao considered postponing the fight, according to reports. Upon hearing that Pacquiao said he was injured during the fight, Mayweather told ESPN that both of his hands and shoulders were injured “but I always find a way to win.”

Rangers grab back some momentum NHL playoffs. The series shifts to D.C. Monday night.

Kevin Klein is hit into the boards by Curtis Glencross in Game 2. / GETTY IMAGES

Hot ’n horny hookups.

Call it Alain Vigneault’s ode to minimalism.

Roughly 20 minutes after his Rangers took Game 2 of the Metropolitan Division finals with a 3-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday at the Garden, Vigneault assessed the series’ first 120 minutes in the most basic of ways.

“They won one, we won one,” Vigneault said. The best-of-seven series is tied at one game apiece. Game 3 is Monday at Verizon Center (7:30 p.m., NBCSN). Game 4 is Wednesday in Washington. “Now the focus shifts to the third game.”

Any questions?

Well, now that you mention it, can you analyze the difference in play between the 2-1 loss in Game 1 and what transpired in Game 2?

“We tried to use that energy in a good way going into [Game 2] and be really determined that we need [to win] this one,”

Henrik Lundqvist said.

It certainly aided their cause that Lundqvist played “pissed off,” according to Derick Brassard.

Lundqvist made 30of-32 saves, only Evgeny Kuznetsov’s second-period goal and Alex Ovechkin’s all-time highlight reel marker in the third period got past him.

“He was the best player on the ice,” Brassard said of Lundqvist. “[The] same guy that we see every game. He was pretty pissed off after the game [Game 1] and he came back [Saturday]. I thought he played like he was pissed off.”

Lundqvist was strong throughout. He was at his best during the Capitals’ second period and end of game surges. His best save was a sprawling kick save on Kuznetsov in the second period while his back was on the ice, somewhat similar to his cartwheel save on Thomas Vanek in Game 6 of the 2014 Eastern Conference final.

“The second period, it was a pretty open game,” Lundqvist said. “There were big chances both

“Games are so important right now. Talking going into the third, we have to leave everything out there and you don’t want any regrets this time of year so you have to go out there and work as hard as you can.”

Good fortune helps, too. Brassard’s goal 6:07 into the third gave the Rangers a 3-1 cushion, and its significance grew exponentially when Ovechkin cut the lead to one four minutes and 22 seconds later.

Mere moments after his two-minute minor for interference was killed, Brassard drove down the slot and tapped Martin St. Louis’ feed — which slipped between the sticks of Matt Niskanen and Jay Beagle — between Holtby’s legs.

“I was really nervous in the penalty box, to be honest,” Brassard said.

“The guys did a great job of killing the penalty.

“When I came back on the ice, I had some energy. I think that goal was big for our line. It’s going to bring us some confidence, hopefully.”
