Carnegie Hall music program key for ex-cons Instrumental. Daniel Barthels and others will share their stories about learning music while in Sing Sing on Sept. 25. Daniel Barthels never thought that such a small instrument as the violin would teach him so much about life. Yet that’s what happened when he learned to play the classical instrument as an inmate in prison. “It was easy to identify myself as being someone different [and playing a different instrument] and to have my place in a subsociety,” Barthels said. Barthels is set to share his story, and the role of music in prison, on Sept. 25 at Carnegie Hall. The evening, which includes a screening of “Sing Sing: The Transformative Power of Story, Music and the TEDx Talk,” will include discussions and personal stories. The youngest of three children from a middleclass family in Long Island, Barthels’ restless spirit led him to alcohol and marijuana at 11 years old. He associated with an older crowd already in-

volved in criminal activities and at 14 was arrested for the first time for pulling out a knife on someone. Around the same time, his parents got divorced, and as he got older his taste for drugs changed and he started doing ecstasy. Kicked out of his home at 16, he roamed around, from upstate New York to New York City to Virginia, and lived a life of crime. “I had no real outlook for creativity and no real sense of purpose,” Barthels said. “I was pretty much just drifting and searching for myself and thinking that money brought value to me because I thought that was the only way people found value in me, the only way they wanted me around.” Eventually at 20 he was arrested for armed robbery and sentenced to nine years in prison, landing him at Sing Sing Correctional Facility. The first couple of years

“It’s kind of a humbling thing to do in a maximum security prison, to pick up a violin and say this is going to be what I am going to identify myself with.” Barthels
in prison he fell into the same pattern, hanging out with the wrong crowd and smoking weed, although he began to exercise as a way to look for discipline. In 2010 he discovered the violin after spending some time with an inmate who played the guitar and visiting the prison’s music room. “It’s kind of a humbling thing to do in a maximum security prison, to pick up a violin and say this is going to be what I am going to identify myself with
when everyone is trying to show just how tough they are,” Barthels said. “It’s not necessarily the most masculine thing to do.” He taught himself how to play with a “How to Play Violin for Dummies” book and practiced with lullabies such as “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” A year down the line, Carnegie Hall introduced the Musical Connections program to Sing Sing, where inmates had the opportunity to learn and perfect their instrument play-
ing skills with the help of a seasoned instructor. Barthels wasted no time in joining and discovered a hidden passion not just for playing, but also for composing. “It kindled the fire within me and I felt this strong drive to better myself and to become a strong musician,” Barthels said. “The passion, the guidance and initiative that they felt for helping develop our talent helped.” After the end of his sentence in September 2014, he continued playing and performing at several benefit concerts thanks to several musician friends he made through Musical Connections. Today, Barthels is the proud owner of Cooldown Juice, an organic juice store in Sunnyside, Queens. He credits Carnegie Hall’s Musical Connection for helping him find his path and living a clean life. “I’m not a threat to other people anymore,” said Barthels. “I’m not out robbing people anymore and taxpayers aren’t paying for me to sit in a prison anymore. That’s the impact that this has on society at large and I see myself in the future giving into this and that music has a way of rehabilitating people.” KARINA E. CUEVAS @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us
NYC. Officials want James Blake’s arresting officer fired
Councilman Andy King / HANNAH MATTIX
One day after a police union boss accused civilians of attacking cops over the wrongful arrest video of former tennis pro James Blake, a pair of City Council members renewed calls for the arresting officer’s firing. The now viral video showing Officer James Frascatore take down an unsuspecting Blake in front of a midtown Manhattan hotel shows the officer acting as sole judge and jury, argued Bronx Councilman Andy King. King, co-chair of the council’s Black, Asian and
Latino caucus, said that NYPD top brass’s continued promises of better training isn’t enough. “If you have officers who can’t do it right, not everyone is cut out for the job,” King said, calling on Mayor Bill de Blasio and NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton to fire Frascatore. Asked by Metro about whether the plainclothes cop deserves due process, King — who was joined by Brooklyn Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo — said he and other people of color rely on it to make sure
they’re respected and treated fairly. But due process, King said, appears to work differently for police. “We won’t even know what those conversations are or what’s going on in ‘due process,’” the councilman said. “The officer still gets to walk the street with [his] pension while we’re sitting back angry because our children were shot and killed, or our young men got flipped upside down on the floor.” Frascatore was put on desk duty soon after the arrest.

Nude looping / INSTAGRAM
Nude looping makes its New York City debut Naked city. A large group of unclothed people made quite a spectacle in downtown Manhattan. While New York Fashion Week was in full swing last weekend, a few other things were swinging outside Manhattan’s Rivington Design House during a public naked performance art piece. Performance artist Matthew Silver, the brain behind the piece, called “nude looping,” along with a dozen or so other men and women gathered in the design house’s gallery space to
“loop” around in their birthday suits. “Looping is like if you see these people acting loopy — it’s like an improv,” Silver said while explaining to Metro what exactly looping was. For the most part, Silver explained that looping was a series of repeated games and interactions, all of which were improvised. As for the name? “I just called it ‘acting wacky’ in a costume or underwear,” Silver recalled as he elaborated on the activity’s namesake. “We were doing it in front of this Mexican restaurant called La Lupe and [Fritz Donnelly] just attached the name “looping” to it. For me it’s just the experience of being on drugs, without being

on drugs.” The performance on Saturday was the first naked looping in the city, which Silver explained was a somewhat coincidental commentary on Fashion Week. “We felt like it was a good message. Learn to appreciate and love the naked body, don’t keep it covered all the time,” Silver explained. “If we were all walking around naked we’d get over the fact that we all look different. Most people do not look like the models in the magazines — even the models don’t even look like them in the magazines because they’re constantly being Photoshopped.” “Even if we had naked bodies walking around we would still have fashion,” Silver conceded. “It’s still a fun thing.” “Like body hair fashion?” Metro asked. “Exactly!” MATT LEE @METRONEWYORK

walked a few blocks down to a Rite Aid on Court Street, where the man bought the items. But that’s when the NYPD said the conversation turned violent and the man soon forcefully grabbed the woman and wrapped a black electronic cord around her neck. The man then tried to cut the woman’s clothes off with a knife as he choked the woman, who began to scream.
Cops said the shouts scared the man off as he began to run away from the scene at Pacific Street toward Boerum Place. Police described the suspect as a Hispanic man, approximately 5-feet-4 and about 30 years old. He was last seen wearing a black leather vest with studs on the back, a light-colored shirt, dark jeans and black cowboy boots.

Initiative. Mayor promises universal computer ed, higher grad rates by 2026 This pup is ready. / JULIANNE AERTS, METRO
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a major education policy plan in the Bronx on Wednesday, pledging to significantly improve graduation rates, colleges preparedness and universal access to computer science and algebra by 2026. The $186 million annual commitment from the de Blasio administration aims to bump up New York City’s graduation rate to 80 percent from 68 percent, and expand course offerings to prepare students for colleges and trade school. Another program, called “Single Shepard,” will pair mentors with students in grades 6 to 12 from two struggling districts to help guide them to adulthood. “Just as every parent
wants this success for their own child, we want it for all of New York City’s children,” de Blasio said. “So our schools must prepare every single student to achieve their highest potential. In other words, schools must run on the twin engines of equity and excellence.” De Blasio made the announcement at Bronx Latin School, which he said boasts an 89 percent four-year graduation rate despite 92 percent of the students living in poverty. “I’ve seen our schools evolve over the last 50 years, and I know these are the right ingredients for transformative change,” Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña said in a statement.

Untaxed
UPS must face NY lawsuit over illegal cigarette shipments A federal judge said New York State and New York City may pursue a lawsuit accusing United Parcel Service Inc of illegally delivering more than 683,000 cartons of untaxed cigarettes in the state,
depriving them of millions of dollars in taxes. U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest in Manhattan rejected UPS’ argument that the lawsuit, which sought more than $181 million of damages and penalties, did not properly allege that it delivered contraband cigarettes to unauthorized recipients, or did so deliberately. “The amended
complaint alleges that UPS knowingly delivered enormous quantities of unstamped, untaxed cigarettes to persons throughout the United States, including the state and the city,” Forrest wrote on Wednesday. “That is sufficient.” Another Manhattan federal judge, Edgardo Ramos, in March said the state and city may pursue a
similar lawsuit against UPS rival FedEx Corp over the shipment of nearly 400,000 cartons of cigarettes. The lawsuit against UPS accused it of having since 2010 illegally shipped unstamped cartons of cigarettes to unlicensed wholesalers, unlicensed retailers and residences, often from smoke shops on Indian reservations within New York.

Law-enforcement agents have arrested six people in New York accused of trafficking synthetic marijuana, an illegal drug that has sparked local health fears and led to a spike in hospitalizations and deaths this year, officials said on Wednesday. A grand jury indicted 10 people accused of helping to import 220 pounds of illegal chemicals used to make the drug, which police say can cause hallucinations and give users superhuman strength. Six were arrested on Tuesday and the rest remain at large. “Synthetic cannabinoids are a deadly serious problem that demands an equally serious response,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said. “Today’s collective action is just the start of that response, one that will not end until this poison in a packet no longer endan-
gers our community.” The grand jury indicted Abdullah Deiban, Faris Kassim, Morad Kassim, Nageab Saeed, Walide Saeed, Mohomed Saeed, Hamid Moshref, Mohamed Salem, Mohamed Almatheel and Fikri Nagi on charges including unlawful importation and distribution of controlled substances. The amount of the seized chemicals were enough to produce more than a quarter-million packets of synthetic marijuana, also known as “K-2” or “spice,” police said. The drug, a mix of smokable dried plants and chemicals that is sold illegally for as little as $2 a packet, has become a top drug of concern for New York police, Commissioner Bill Bratton said. Between April 1 and July 31, more than 1,900 people were admitted to hospitals in New York state after taking the substance, which can lead to severe medical conditions including cardiac arrest, police said. It can exacerbate mental heath problems and cause paranoia, delirium and violent behavior.

One elderly shut-in was later discovered to have perished in her home, and authorities have not ruled out finding additional victims.

Boston area
Drug search turns up missing World Series ring When a team of Massachusetts police officers entered a suburban Boston home looking for drugs, they found a 2004 Red Sox World Series ring, officials said on Wednesday. The officers had been
watching a home in Quincy, south of Boston, on Tuesday afternoon when they saw Dennis Leclair, 47, allegedly selling oxycodone tablets to two men outside his building. Police approached Leclair and arrested him before executing a search warrant on his home. When they entered, they found oxycodone tablets, police scanners, a money counting
machine, more than $9,000 in cash and the World Series ring, police said. Police said they are unsure how Leclair came to be in possession of the ring but said that it had been reported missing by a Red Sox employee. Red Sox officials declined to comment, saying the investigation is continuing. “It’s bizarre,” said a
Quincy police dispatcher, who declined to provide his name. “Never seen something like that before.” Officers continue to investigate the ring, police said. Leclair was charged with drug offenses and one count of receiving stolen property valued over $250. It was not immediately clear if he had yet retained an attorney. REUTERS

CDC. They cite childhood obesity as a serious problem in the United States.
12-19
On any given day in the United States, 34.3 percent of children and adolescents are consuming a significant portion of their daily nutrition from fast-food restaurants, the National Center for Health Statistics reported on Wednesday. The NCHS said fast food “has been associated with higher caloric intake and poorer diet quality” in the 2-19 age group. The Centers for Disease Control says the level of obesity is holding steady at about 17 percent and affecting about 12.7 million children and adolescents. More than 12 percent of the children and adolescents surveyed got over 40 percent of their calories from fast food, which was defined as “restaurant fast food/pizza,” according to the data brief from the NCHS, a unit of the CDC.
“It is certainly a significant amount and it would be more concerning if someone were not astonished by that number. It is a sign we have some work to do to help families come up with practical solutions,” said Dr. Esther Krych, a pediatrician with the Mayo Clinic’s Children’s Center in Rochester, Minnesota. The NCHS said the data was extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2011-2012. The ethnic group with the lowest daily consumption of fast food were non-Hispanic Asian children, at 8 percent. At the other end of the spectrum were non-Hispanic black children at 13.9 percent, followed by non-Hispanic white children at 13.1 percent and Hispanic children at 11.2 percent.

HUNGARIAN POLICE USE PEPPER SPRAY AGAINST REFUGEES AT THE HORGOS BORDER, NEAR THE TOWN OF KANJIZA, AFTER HUNGARIAN AUTHORITIES CLOSED THEIR BORDER WITH SERBIA.
A CHILD CRIES AFTER BEING HIT BY TEAR GAS SPRAYED BY HUNGARIAN ANTI-RIOT POLICE.
Riot police fired water cannon and tear gas on Wednesday at migrants demanding to be let through Hungary’s newly shut EU frontier, while refugees at other Balkan frontiers clambered through cornfields in search of new routes. Hungary’s decision this week to shut the European Union’s external border with Serbia was the most forceful attempt yet by a European country to reduce the flow of refugees and economic migrants overwhelming the bloc. The move has left thousands of migrants scattered across the Balkan peninsula seeking alternative ways to reach the EU, and Hungary’s prime minister said his country planned to erect a fence along parts of its border with Croatia as well as on the frontier with Romania to stem the flow. Helmeted Hungarian riot police backed by armored vehicles took up positions at the now-barricaded border crossing with Serbia, where male migrant youths pelted them with stones, demanding to be allowed through.

Lady Gaga weighs in on the presidential race
You might find this hard to believe, but the Biebs was making a scene, this time at the fancy downtown L.A. JW Marriott, tearing up the lobby on his skateboard — at least, that is, until he totally ate it on the marble floor. “He alarmed everyone when he rode his skateboard through the hotel’s lobby,” a source tells Life & Style. “Then he wiped out and took a bad spill. It was hilarious, and everyone was laughing at him.” And that’s not all! Miffed about people getting a kick out of his lessthan-impressive skills, Bieber stormed out to his waiting Ferrari and peeled out of there. Like a man. “He was so amped up he almost crashed through the exit’s mechanical arm,” the source adds. “It was pretty stupid of him.”
THE WORD
@BillGates: See if you can beat my score on this quiz about the world. @ChloeGMoretz: I spammed all my followers w songs, I’m very sorry (not really that sorry tho because they’re really great songs)
A video of Lady Gaga arriving at LAX has surfaced online, and in it the pop star lets us all know what she really thinks of Republican presidential candidate and billionaire New Yorker Donald Trump. “Hey, Gaga, are you a Donald Trump fan?” a pushy TMZ-type photographer asks. Gaga simply cackles in response. “Gaga, so that’s a no?
Is that right? On Donald Trump? Is that a no?” the photographer asks again as the singer simply responds with a closedmouth smile into the camera. When asked who she does like, Gaga quickly shouts out, “Hillary!” So if you were waiting for a sign from Gaga as to which candidate to support, there you go. MATT LEE

Naomi’s more covered up here.
Naomi Campbell, the supermodel who has never been one to shy away from controversy, posted a topless picture of herself on Instagram. Just so you know. The post has garnered more than 60,000 likes in only 14 hours. Instagram has a notorious history of taking down pictures of topless women who aren’t breastfeeding, and many celebrities have protested this by sharing topless and nearly topless pictures of themselves. The only question remaining is will Instagram dare take down a picture of Naomi Campbell? They better hope she doesn’t have her phone in her hands if and when they do. MATT LEE

Albert Hammond Jr. gets introspective on ‘Momentary Masters’ Interview. The Strokes guitarist talks about trading a hedonistic lifestyle for something a little more domestic. When The Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. compares his first two solo albums to his new release, “Momentary Masters” (which came out July 31), he says he can’t even recognize the person who made the first two. “Luckily, I still like the songs, though,” he jokes. Hammond has undergone some major changes in the past few years. For one, he’s sober now.
He also got married and bought a house upstate. “I thought it would be more shocking, but it’s not,” he says of leaving New York City. “I thought I might miss it more, but I don’t. I make food, I exercise, I practice and do some work. Then I just have time to myself, working on the land or the house. It’s nice.”
It’s not the length of life, but the depth “Momentary Masters” is dedicated to a woman named Sarah Jones, who passed away two weeks after Hammond became friends with her. “She wrote a Richard Pryor joke on Instagram and no
one knew it was [about] Richard Pryor,” he says. “I wrote one back. She’s a friend of friends, so we just ran into each other and had an eight-hour conversation outside the park.” Hammond says they talked every day for the next two weeks and when he finished the album, he really wished he could play it for her. “Dedicating the album to her was my way of playing it for her,” he says.
Pushing harder than ever before While “Momentary Masters” does explore big themes, such as morality and purpose, the lyrics are more metaphorical than literal. “‘Born Slip-

Albert Hammond Jr. says working on the new album meant pushing himself into uncomfortable territory. JASON MCDONALD
pery’ is about looking at the clouds and picking up on the warmth that can be found, and also the idea that ‘this too shall pass’ and even if you’re in a certain spot doesn’t mean it’s going to last forever,” Hammond says, explaining the first track on the album. While he says all the recent changes in his life did influence the album, the themes are ideas he thinks anyone
can relate to. He says making the album was both exhausting and therapeutic. “Sure, it can be draining sometimes, but it can also be tremendously invigorating when you’re going just 100 miles per hour with ideas,” he says. Hammond says he really pushed himself on this album, forcing himself to try things that made him uncomfortable.
“Everything from playing harder to singing a little out of range, and also keeping the energy [throughout] the record,” he says. “When you push yourself like that, at the end you can say, ‘Come check this thing out. I think it’s awesome and it deserves attention.’” EMILY LAURENCE @EmLaurence

Shoulder Arthritis Treatments Keeping Boomers Active Into Their 60’s, 70’s Even 80’s? If you suffer with painful shoulder arthritis – science may have finally found the answer you’ve been looking for. Here is why: Researchers have discovered an natural gel like medicine that is like “joint oil.” This all-natural gel is one of the naturally occurring lubricating substances in your shoulder joint that cushions and lubricates the joint which dries out over time due to wear-and-tear, age or injury. But when doctors precisely place this lubricating gel into your shoulder joint by using advanced digital imaging technology – it is like putting oil on a rusty door hinge. It lubricates the joint and can decrease pain and stiffness. For some, results can be dramatic and last for months. Years for some. Often times shoulder surgery can be avoided.
Know this: This is NOT a supplement you can buy over the counter or on the internet. This is a REAL medical treatment that must be given by a trained health care professional. And the great news is: There is a free report and information kit available that tells you everything you need to know about this treatment. It also tells you all about cuttingedge medical clinics right here in New York City that are offering this cutting-edge treatment with tremendous success. To get your information kit or to schedule a NoObligation Risk Free Shoulder Screening simply call 800-627-PAIN (7246).

Being the romantic lead in a film comes with certain obligations, but Liam Hemsworth is up to the task of being a little objectified. A pivotal scene in “The Dressmaker” — which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival this week — involves the Australian “Hunger Games” star removing his shirt to the ogling delight of co-stars Kate Winslet and Judy Davis. Nice work if you can get it. They’re really pushing your shirt-removing scene in the trailer. Yeah, I just feel like that scene was … Look, I don’t want to just take off my shirt for anything, but it felt like that was a good comedic moment to have. It was done in a quirky, funny way, not where I was taking it off to be sexy or that sort of cliched way. Are you OK with this kind of objectification? It’s a nice break for the actresses out there. I’ll take it over for them. I’ll take some of that objectification. [Laughs] Back at the ComicCon press conference for “Hunger Games,” did you see Jennifer

She’s like, “Oh, I’m sorry, I was thinking about my dog singing the Dixie Chicks song.” She has no filter. Literally no filter. I feel
like it’s getting worse by the day. At some point it’s going to … [Cringes] Someone suggested it’s all an act, which would make it the most authentic performance ever.

Alison Brie likes it dark Interview. The “Sleeping with Other People” star made an edgy rom-com. But she still likes normal rom-coms. Alison Brie laughs a lot when she talks, though she only does that half the time in “Sleeping with Other People.” She plays Lainey, who has a love addiction for a man she shouldn’t (played by Adam Scott). The only person who makes her perk up is Jake (Jason Sudeikis), with whom she should obviously pair off. Instead they remain (for now) friends. It’s a classic romantic-comedy setup, only one tempered by dark themes and brutal honesty. But that’s how she likes it. You voice Diane on “BoJack Horseman,” which is a very, very dark
active. Romantic comedies became very chaste for a while, and weirdly so. The characters are focused on falling in love, then eventually they do. I don’t think that’s how people date today.

show. “Sleeping with Other People” can get pretty dark too. Are you actively looking for that tone in projects? Absolutely. I love that kind of stuff. It’s what I like to watch as well. When things become a bit darker or unexpectedly dark, it really turns me on. There’s a will-theyor-won’t-they thing
going on here, but their relationship is so deep that it almost doesn’t matter if they get together or not. It could go either way. Leslye [Headland, writerdirector] wrote a romantic comedy for cynics. It toes the line between being cynical and very romantic. The whole time you’re watching it you’re like, “Yeah, f— love.” [Laughs]
At the same time you’re watching them fall in love. I like that, as the title suggests, we’re watching these characters fall in love but we also see them sleeping with other people, having sex with other people. It feels very current. It feels like the way people do date and have complex and confusing relationships with people at the same time they’re sexually
Sometimes I think we’re a little hard on romcoms. What’s your take on them? I love them. I love them. I’ll kind of watch all of them. I don’t love all of them, but I love it as a genre. It took me a while. I agree: Everyone’s a little snobbish about them. I used to be as well. Then I realized I watch them more than any other movies. If they’re on cable and I’m flipping through channels, I’m always going to watch “Hitch” if it’s on. They’re feelgood movies.

Remembering Wes Craven The filmmaker Wes Craven passed away recently. You had a small role in “Scream 4.” What are your memories of him? He was one of the loveliest people I’ve ever worked with. And so funny. I was obsessed with the “Scream” trilogy when I was younger, so much that I made a parody with friends in high school. It was called “Yell.” We had a guy in a suit and a mask and he would walk instead of run. It was really fun.

Man in Time Sci-fi. “Doctor Who” showrunner Steven Moffat wonders if the Time Lord is running from his past — or himself. Peter Capaldi returns as the Doctor in the ninth season of “Doctor Who,” premiering Saturday at 9 p.m. on BBC America. / BBC
Time is not on Steven Moffat’s side. When we caught up with the “Doctor Who” (and “Sherlock”) showrunner last month to talk about the sci-fi series’ ninth season, he was still writing it. “Whenever I go on holiday, wherever I am, sitting in an airport or car service, [writing] has been my fate,” he says. His time-traveling lead character, the Doctor, is having a rough go of it, too. He regained his companion, Clara (Jenna Coleman), but lost his homeworld Gallifrey (again), so finding that is on the agenda — when he gets around to it between adventures. Any significance to the gender-swap of his rival, the Master, to Missy? It’s the same character; I don’t think Time Lords really mind about that sort of thing. [The Doctor] knows that it can happen in a regeneration. A given Time Lord is mostly male and occasionally becomes female, or is mostly female and occasionally becomes male.
this Doctor less afraid to look inside himself? He has this great aspiration to be this man known as the Doctor who does the right thing and is never cruel and never cowardly — but we watch the show. We know that he’s frail, and he can be vain and he can be a bit up himself. He’s just somebody whose compassion is so boundless that when he encounters cruelty or tyranny, he can’t help but fight it. Does the Doctor ever evaluate his past? He keeps on the move for that reason. He’s not a big fan of sticking around for the consequences, is he? He’ll depose the government; he won’t set up a new one. I think he runs, not an untypical reaction: Just keep moving, don’t think about it. The past is so long, if he sat there and thought of it — all the people he’s lost and all the things he’s done — he’d have time for nothing else. Let’s settle the “Sherlock” crossover question. If you actually did the Doctor meets Sherlock Holmes — which will not happen — then where’s Sherlock at the end of that? He’s just learned there is intelligent life in the universe, and time travel is possible — he must now factor that into any deduction he makes.
Dreams and feelings were big themes last season. Is One more thing
Do you engage with the fandom directly online? I don’t go on forums and stuff because that could be very unpleasant for me. But there’s also some beautiful work being done. I like sometimes going on YouTube, actually, to see what they’ve been up to. My own television career is a result of getting excited about “Doctor Who” as a kid, so I take great satisfaction and joy in the fact that it still happens, that our audience doesn’t passively consume — it actively engages and GETTY makes things.

Osborne sent out looks for a #girlboss. Each model walked out in some variation on sharp pinstripe suiting: from the standard menswearinspired double-breasted jacket to a deconstructed blazer-come-dress over tailored shorts. Though the sheer lace dresses that closed the show were more bedroom than boardroom. Despite the few daring looks, we’re interested to see Chow and Osborne step out of their comfort zone next season.

Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty may own the market on bold, vivid prints, but on this hot, sticky Wednesday morning, it was Suno’s breezy jumpsuits, pale blue linen shifts and stylish-yet-sensible colorblocked sandals (a first for the brand) that were spot on. “We wanted to create a city shoe that felt inspired yet functional — playful but still easy,” Beatty told WWD. Check. The other city girl must-have: throw-’em-on dresses. Suno offered cotton looks in seersucker, eyelet and — for the print enthusiasts — bold geometric checks.

Kanye made Kendall sit second row Sis-in-law and high-fashion model Kendall Jenner sat behind the rest of the fam, presumably to make room for more glamorous VIPs like 2 Chainz, Courtney Love, Lorde and Seth Meyers, among others.
Kim and North wore matching mommyand-me leggings And then North sat on the floor, next to Anna Wintour, who must have been thrilled.
The collection looked … very familiar Drab hoodies with holes, flesh-colored leotards, oversized parkas … hey, hadn’t we seen this before? Indeed, when images of the new collection began surfacing on Instagram, we thought they were #TBTs of Yeezy's
first show from February. They were not. Though there were some updates: One model smoked a cigarette on the runway! BROTHER VELLIES
But that made it kind of genius Hey, lots of designers recycle the same looks over and over — many more of them copy others. West is just more blatant, flagrant and grandiose about it, turning it into such a spectacle that we all drop whatever we’re doing or have planned to witness it. Dude knows what he’s doing.

Cape Breton’s Celtic colors If you thought “Celtic colors” were limited to Ireland’s famous 40 shades of green, think again.
Cape Breton Island, on Canada’s east coast, is home to a unique combination of music and culture, inspired by 19th-century settlers from Scotland and Ireland and influenced by the aboriginal Mi’kmaq people. The Celtic Colours International Festival is a celebration of this culture and, over its 19 years, has become one of Canada’s premiere musical events. Both the lineup and the audiences reflect its international appeal, but the welcome and hospitality are pure Nova Scotia. Communities all around Cape Breton host concerts, workshops, dances, storytelling and other events in venues ranging from state-of-the-art performance facilities to community halls and churches.

POST-WEEK 1 PANIC IS JUSTIFIED IN SOME CASES The draft is the most important part of your fantasy football season. But not far behind are the decisions you make in the first two weeks. That’s because everything we thought we knew coming into the season now needs to be evaluated. We have actual games and data to examine — and even though it’s a tiny sample size — it can be more relevant than our offseason takes. For example, owners that gave up on Justin Hunter or went after Justin Forsett hard early last year turned a major profit. Owners that sold low on Eddie Lacy took it on the chin. Some Week 1 notes to act on:

Peyton punished We can see how the Broncos are going to win games this year. They’re going to be dominant defensively, slow the pace of the game and run the football. They won’t be throwing when they’re up 21 points in the fourth quarter like they used to. It’s a major issue for Peyton Manning’s box score and a serious issue for Demaryius Thomas as well. Far less volume and a little less efficiency spells trouble.

Andre Johnson looks like he’s cooked. / GETTY IMAGES Media Pickups of the week Add these guys off the waiver wire: •
Donte Moncrief, WR, Colts — T.Y. Hilton has a knee injury and Moncrief is way ahead of Philip Dorsett right now.

Johnson in Week 1. I’d say it’s more than that. The Texans moved on from Johnson this past offseason despite having little depth at wideout, a sure sign they thought he was done. That’s not a very far-fetched take on a guy who is 34 years old and was never a great red zone player anyway.

That was the biggest knock on him coming out of Indiana. With a featured role in a fast-paced offense and explosive big-play ability, Coleman is going to have some huge games.

The statement also questions the relationships between the daily fantasy sites and the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL. “Involvement of players or league personnel who may be able to affect the outcome of a game also raises additional questions
about the relationship between the entities, especially when professional leagues often actively promote fantasy sites, like DraftKings or FanDuel,” the statement said. As Metro highlighted in a piece on daily fantasy sports last year, sites like DraftKings and FanDuel are legal because the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 excludes fantasy sports that meet specific requirements. “We don’t even

Daily fantasy sites under fire Hours after what was the biggest day in the history of daily fantasy sports, Week 1 of the 2015 NFL season, U.S. Representative Frank Pallone — from New Jersey’s Sixth Congressional District —greased the railroad tracks on DraftKings and FanDuel’s gravy train. On the website for the Committee on Energy & Commerce, an ominous press release was posted with the title, “Pallone:
‘How do fantasy sports differ from gambling?’” It goes on to say that Pallone has “requested that the committee hold a hearing to review the legal status of fantasy sports, given the committee’s jurisdiction over professional sports and gambling and the overwhelming popularity of fantasy sports websites.” Translation: Way too many people are having way too much fun and are making way too much money. “Fans are currently

That’s a matter of debate, a subjective argument,” said DraftKings VP of communications Femi Wasserman at the time. “We don’t stay up at night worrying about regulators eventually ‘catching up.’ We’re planning on being here.

Check a dream off on Louie Gonzalez’s bucket list as the New York Jets fan once pronounced legally dead had a whirlwind weekend, meeting players and celebrities and taking in the Jets’ season opener. It was a weekend funded by fellow fans. The story of Gonzalez is well known to many Jets fans. Born in Brooklyn, he moved to Florida shortly after being diagnosed with hydrocephalus — a rare condition that is lifethreatening where fluid gets trapped in the brain. Gonzalez endured multiple surgeries, each time with a grim prognosis. At one point, he was legally declared dead, and prior to other surgeries his family was told that if he survived he would be in a permanent vegetative
state. And before another surgery he was told that he would never walk again. Just a couple years ago, complications arose after Gonzalez was making significant progress in dealing with the disease, and he had several strokes and went into a coma. It was at this time that his family thought he would never come back but as with every previous setback and brush with death, he did. Now a husband and a father, Gonzalez overcame each obstacle with an unwavering faith in God. He now talks and walks, playing football in the front yard with his sons, and he is actively involved in his church’s drama ministry. Despite being a Jets fan for life, Gonzalez never saw his team play at MetLife Stadium, which opened in 2010. Fans heard about his story and his personal triumphs over hydrocephalus and started the “Team Louie” movement to raise funds for him. The result? Seven thou-
sand dollars raised and Gonzalez was able to see the Jets’ 31-10 win this past weekend at the Meadowlands. All expenses were paid for solely by the generosity of fans through the website, while linebacker Demario Davis chipped in for a parking pass and sideline passes for Gonzalez’s whole family. It was there that they met General Manager Mike Maccagnan, who gave Gonzalez a hug upon arrival, as well as President Neil Glat, who was instrumental in arranging for the tour of the facility as well as a special surprise. Not only did he make it into the locker room and the team’s meeting area, he also received from Glat an official game coin. “Mr. Glat gave me the Jets coin for the coin toss,” Gonzalez told Metro. “Only two were made: One for the game and a second one for ‘Team Louie.’” KRISTIAN DYER @KristianRDyer sports@metro.us
