THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

BILL PASSES ALLOWING SEPT. 11 VICTIMS TO SUE SAUDI ARABIA

1

The U.S. Senate passed legislation Tuesday that would allow survivors and relatives of those killed in the Sept. 11 attacks to file lawsuits seeking damages against the government of Saudi Arabia. The legislation, known as the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, or JASTA, passed by unanimous voice vote. If it passes the House of Representatives and is signed into law by President Barack Obama, JASTA would allow lawsuits to proceed in federal court in New York as lawyers try to prove that the Saudis were involved in the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

PFIZER BAN ON LETHAL DRUG SALES COMPLICATES EXECUTIONS IN 20 STATES

2

More than 20 states that use a combination of drugs to carry out lethal injections will find it harder to conduct executions due to Pfizer’s ban on sales of its chemicals, but the move will have little impact on the handful that rely on a single drug. The pharmaceutical giant’s move last week cuts off the last major U.S. source for drugs in the deadly mixes, and it adds to the difficulties of states that were already struggling to procure chemicals for lethal injections. Among the states affected are Florida and Oklahoma, which have been among the leaders in executions since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. REUTERS

APPLE BOSS COOK TO TAP INDIAN SOFTWARE TALENT DURING VISIT

Apple is set to announce plans to expand its Indian software development center and build an accelerator program for local startups, two sources aware of the investment said Tuesday, hours before CEO Tim Cook’s maiden visit. Cook is making his Indian debut just as the country emerges as one of the most recent large growth markets in the smartphone world, while sales in the United States and China begin to taper off. He is due to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other officials later in the week. More than 100 million smartphones were sold in India last year, a number that is expected to grow 25 percent this year. Sales of Apple’s iPhones — which have a 2 percent market share in the country — grew 56 percent in the first three months of 2016. REUTERS

Comptroller: Thousands left stranded by MTA’s ‘stress-a-ride’ program An audit of the program found that over 31,000 times New Yorkers booked rides that never showed up. ANGY ALTAMIRANO @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us

Instead of helping seniors and New Yorkers with disabilities have access to reliable transportation, a review of the MTA’s Access-a-Ride program found that it has been nothing more than a headache for tens of thousands of residents. City Comptroller Scott Stringer released an audit Tuesday that revealed widespread mismanagement by the MTA in its Paratransit program, which provides services mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act for passengers who cannot use public buses or subways. “There’s a reason Access-a-Ride passengers call the service ‘Stress-a-Ride,’” Stringer said. “When Access-a-Ride leaves customers in the lurch, they may miss medical appointments or risk being late to work.” Among its findings, the audit discovered that Access-a-Ride buses or cars left residents stranded more than 31,000 times last year, while the MTA reportedly failed to monitor and correct any issues that arose. Last year Access-a-Ride provided services — for which the MTA paid $321 million — to more than 144,000 residents in the city, totaling about 6 million rides yearly. “Access-a-Ride is absolutely essential for thousands of people to get around New York City every single day, yet this program stranded thousands of people, wasted millions of taxpayer dollars and caused untold harm and distress,” Stringer said. “After years of mismanagement, it’s on the MTA to take action now.”

never occurred. In 2015, customers filed 4,771 complaints about no-show vehicles, but the MTA deducted only 586 returns for taxi rides taken when vehicles didn’t show up. At the end of the audit, Stringer made recommendations to the MTA that included making sure all vehicles are equipped with GPS technology and that the system is activated when vehicles are in service; using GPS data to evaluate performance; taking corrective action against service providers that inaccurately report trip and vehicle data; and considering new car service providers or alternatives. “In a city that prides itself on its diversity, tolerance and accessibility, the Access-a-Ride program is an affront to all New Yorkers,” Stringer said. The MTA spokesman added that the agency is refining a system that would improve monitoring contractors’ accurate pick-up time reports. He said the Paratransit program has and will continue to monitor contractors’ use of GPS devices and help them increase their compliance beyond the level it is in now. The goal is for the contractors to achieve 100 percent compliance with providing GPS data for reporting by December.

Report: NYC women less prepared for retirement than men, peers More are relying on Social Security for largest share of income because of wage gap, debts.

“And as fewer companies offer retirement plans to their employees, it will be harder and harder for women to catch up.”

ANGY ALTAMIRANO @MetroNewYork

letters@metro.us

Women in the Big Apple have a lot to carry on their shoulders, and one recent survey found it doesn’t get any easier in retirement. Nonprofit AARP released a report Tuesday that revealed Gen X and baby boomer women across New York state are less prepared for retirement than their male counterparts. And although the difference is seen across the state, the report found women in New York City — who last month were already reported to make $5.8 billion a year less than men — primarily feel a larger gender gap in retirement. “We all know women don’t get equal pay for equal work, and this survey shows that the gender gap exists in preparing for retirement, too,” said Beth Finkel, state director of AARP in New York state. “And as fewer companies offer retire-

ment plans to their employees, it will be harder and harder for women to catch up.” The report was based on an AARP-commissioned survey of 800 women between 35 and 69 years old statewide and 800 in New York City that found women, by about 10 percentage points more than men, feel they are not saving enough money, not planning enough for retirement and are carrying some sort of forms of debt such as student loans.

According to the analysis, statewide, 57 percent of men get their largest share of income from retirement savings plans compared with 39 percent of women. On a city level, the percentages drop to 53 percent and 29 percent, respectively. In New York City, 56 percent of women get their largest share of retirement income from Social Security, compared with 29 percent of men. Some key causes for the gap, according to AARP, include women be-

ing more likely than men to work part-time or take out time from work to care for children or other family members. Across the state, 23 percent of women — and 27 percent in New York City — carry a student loan for either themselves or children, compared with 17 percent and 20 percent, respectively, for men. A total of 48 percent of female baby boomers in the city said they have sacrificed retirement savings to pay for children’s education, compared

with 37 percent of men in the same generation. The study also found that boomer women are twice as likely as men in the same age range to be unemployed but not retired. Another cause of the gender gap, according to the report, is that women live an average of five years longer than men and are also less likely to find jobs later on in their lives, both causing them to expand their retirement assets. In order to help New Yorkers get the chance to save for retirement, AARP also said it supports state legislation called “Secure Choice,” which would establish a state-facilitated payrolldeduction savings option for those who can’t get a pension or 401(k) at their jobs. “Secure Choice would especially help women, since they’re already at a disadvantage,” Finkel said. “And in the end, it would benefit all of us by

Man snatches teacup puppy from Bronx store

The NYPD has released video of a man who didn’t bother to ask “how much is that doggie in the window?” — he just took it. About 1:30 p.m. on May 4, the suspect entered R and K Dogs Grooming at 888 E. Tremont Ave. in the Bronx, according to authorities. The man can be seen on surveillance video first making his way to the front of the store, where it appears he makes a purchase before heading toward the door to leave. As he got to the door,

the suspect stopped in front of a glass case that faces the store’s front window and contained

two small puppies. The man opened the door to the case, removed a black-andbrown teacup Yorkie and walked out without paying for the dog, police said. According to the NYPD, the puppy is worth more than $1,000. Police describe the suspect as Hispanic, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 220 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweater, darkcolored baseball cap, light blue jeans and tan work boots. ANGY ALTAMIRANO

Rosita Tsiklauri was apprehended Monday at JFK Airport as she returned from Ukraine, according to Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown, who said Tsiklauri allegedly defrauded 19 prospective tenants who came to her for apartmenthunting help from November 2014 to October 2015. “This case sadly represents an all-too-common scenario in which an allegedly greedy [real estate broker] is accused of taking advantage of Queens County’s tight housing market to rob unsuspecting individuals of substantial amounts of their hardearned savings,” Brown

Tsiklauri would agree to refund money then not show up at the agreed upon time and place to issue the refund, or she would provide a check that would bounce, according to the district attorney’s office. She has been charged with second-degree criminal possession of stolen property, thirdand fourth-degree grand larceny, first-degree scheme to defraud and issuing a bad check, the DA said, adding that she was scheduled to return to court May 31. Tsiklauri faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. JASON NUCKOLLS

The fire beneath the elevated line TWITTER

Fire under Metro-North tracks stalls service Tuesday evening Firefighters battled a four-alarm fire under the Metro-North train tracks in East Harlem on Tuesday evening. Smoke and flames were reportedly visible from miles away, according to a PIX11 report, billowing up from E. 118th Street and Park Avenue. The smoke was reportedly caused by two tractor trailers that caught fire. The MTA said service into and out of Grand Central terminal was delayed on all three of the MetroNorth lines — Harlem, Hudson and New Haven — CBS News reported. Police also reportedly asked motorists to stay away from Park Avenue between 116th and 119th streets. The fire broke out at 6:45 p.m., and reached the third alarm by 7:30 p.m., the report read, adding no injuries were known at press time. By 8 p.m., the fire was out, according to PIX11. “There were four or five explosions. The flames were roaring. Everything under the overhead was burning,” said Kenny Washington, 59, who witnessed the blaze, told the New York Daily News. CHRIS CAESAR

NTSB: Engineer of Amtrak 188 lost his ‘situational awareness,’ caused derailment Amtrak engineer lost track of where he was before accelerating train to twice speed limit in Philly derailment.

SAM NEWHOUSE @scnewhouse

sam.newhouse@metro.us

At a hearing in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, the National Transportation Safety Board ruled a fatal

derailment in Philadelphia was caused by the engineer losing “situational awareness” as he accelerated the train to twice the speed limit “By the time he traveled around the curve, he

had lost situational awareness, and believed he was at location further down the track,” investigator Steve Jenner testified of Amtrak engineer Brandon Bostian, a Queens resident at the time.

Eight people, including 20-year-old Justin Zemser, who was heading home to Queens from the U.S. Naval Academy, died as a result of the derailment. The train went into the curve at Frankford Junction, which has a 50 mph speed limit, at 106 mph. Out of the New York City-bound train’s total 253 passengers, 186 were injured. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) formally voted to adopt as probable cause of the Amtrak 188 derailment Bostian’s loss of situational awareness due to an emergency situation with a nearby train, with the lack of a Positive Train Control system and inadequate occupant protection inside the train adding to the injuries sustained by passengers. A loss of situational awareness means that a train engineer loses track of where they are, and can also cause them to forget what decisions they will need to make in the near future, NTSB experts testified at Tuesday’s hearing. Bostian, who told NTSB investigators he did not remember the final minutes before the derailment, is believed to have become distracted by radio transmissions from a nearby SEPTA Regional Rail train which had just had its windshield shattered, injuring the engineer. There were about two dozen transmissions in six minutes regarding the SEPTA train, NTSB officials said. “He was very concerned about the SEPTA

engineer who had requested medical assistance,” Jenner testified. “With his attention diverted to the SEPTA train, the Amtrak engineer may have lost situational awareness.” Bostian’s concern about the SEPTA train may have been heightened because he had a friend and fellow crew member who suffered a serious eye injury after being hit by glass shards during a crossing accident in California. The crash occurred at night, and so Bostian may have missed visual cues along the tracks that he relied on to know when he was approaching the Frankford Junction curve. Amtrak engineers have to memorize cues and landmarks along the routes they travel. “This is a standard human error,” Jenner testified.

NY Times: Apologize for Sunday article The paper said it has no plans to retract the story, which includes interviews with over 50 women who worked with or knew Trump. An attorney for the Trump Organization demanded that The New York Times apologize for a Sunday front-page story exploring the Republican front-runner’s relationships with women, though he walked back the possibility the campaign might sue over the coverage. The newspaper said it has no plans to retract the story, which includes interviews with over 50 women who worked with or knew Trump socially over a period spanning four decades. The demands come after one woman — whose anecdote about meeting Trump at a Mara-Lago pool party in 1990 are in the story’s introduction — reportedly said she was unhappy with the characterization of her interview in the story. Ms. Brewer Lane, at the time a 26-year-old model, did as Mr. Trump asked. “I went into the bathroom and tried one on,” she recalled. It was a bikini. “I came out, and he said, ‘Wow.’ ” Mr. Trump, then 44 and in the midst of his first divorce, decided to show her off to the crowd at Mar-a-Lago, his estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

“He brought me out to the pool and said, ‘That is a stunning Trump girl, isn’t it?’ ” Ms. Brewer Lane said.” “Actually, it was very upsetting. I was not happy to read it at all,” Brewer Lane reportedly told “Fox & Friends” Monday morning. “Well, because The New York Times told us several times that they would make sure that my story that I was telling came across. They promised several times that they would do it accurately. They told me several times and my manager several times that it would not be a hit piece and that my story would come across the

way that I was telling it and honestly, and it absolutely was not.” Lane reportedly said reporters took her quotes and “put a negative connotation on it” that she did not intend. “He never made me feel like I was being demeaned in any way,” she told the hosts. “He never offended me in any way. He was very gracious. I saw him around all types of people, all types of women. He was very kind, thoughtful, generous, you know. He was a gentleman.” A statement from the paper provided to Politico said that Lane was “quoted fairly, accurately and at length.” CHRIS CAESAR

Three bombings in Baghdad kill 70 in worst violence so far this year At least 72 people were killed and more than 140 wounded by three bombings in Baghdad on Tuesday, police and medical sources said, extending the deadliest spate of attacks in the Iraqi capital so far this year. Islamic State claimed one suicide bombing which killed 38 people and wounded over 70 in a marketplace in the northern, mainly Shi’ite Muslim district of alShaab. A car bomb in nearby Shi’ite Sadr City killed at least 28 dead and 57 wounded, and another car blew up in the mixed Shi’ite-Sunni neighborhood of al-Rasheed, south of the capital, killing six and wounding 21, the sources said.

Canadian wildfire shifts north, prolonging oil sands shutdown Some 8,000 workers were evacuated in the heavily forested northern part of the province. A massive wildfire around the oil sands hub of Fort McMurray, Alberta, moved toward energy production facilities on Tuesday, extending a shutdown that has led to lost Canadian output of 1 million barrels a day. The uncontrolled blaze covered 355,000 hectares (877,224 acres), up from 285,000 hectares on Monday. High temperatures and winds were working against firefighters, officials said. None of the oil sands have caught fire, and the industry was redoubling efforts to ensure facilities were well-protected, said Alberta wildfire manager Chad Morrison. “Experience has taught

The lost Canadian production of 1 million barrels a day represents about one-quarter of total Canadian output. Global oil prices touched a sixmonth high on Tuesday,

with the Canadian outages among factors lending support. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said westerly winds were expected to push the fire closer to facilities operated by Suncor Energy Inc., one of the area’s biggest operators, and Syncrude, majority owned by Suncor, on Tuesday. Suncor started a staged and orderly shutdown of its base plant operations, while Syncrude has evacuated the majority of its

The fire also threatened Enbridge Inc.’s Cheecham crude oil tank farm south of Fort McMurray, but Notley said the fire line built there has held and winds were blowing away from the facility. TransAlta Corp’s Poplar Creek cogeneration power plant, which provides power to Suncor, was also shut by early Tuesday due to the wildfire. Prior to the latest setback, lost oil production was expected to average about 1.2 million barrels a day for 14 days, or roughly C$985 million ($763 million) in lost real GDP, according to the Conference Board of Canada. Notley said the Conference Board’s numbers were in the range of the government’s estimates. REUTERS

The information you are about to read can possibly save you from years and years of agonizing knee pain. It might even keep you from getting total knee replacement surgery. Please pay careful attention. What you are about to read is a cutting-edge medical treatment... but it is NOT what it appears to be at ďŹ rst glance. In fact, I’m going to have to ask for a bit of patience from you if you have already unsuccessfully tried any (or many) other knee arthritis pain treatments. You see, many knee arthritis sufferers had already tried the treatment we are going to talk about and did not get the results they wanted. But I assure you there is something VERY DIFFERENT about the technology and the way we do this treatment that makes it much different. And often gets results when many others have failed. This is why patients come from all over the tri-state area and beyond to have their knee arthritis pain treated here. Would You Like Instant Proof?

Downtown NYC Medical Institute is a medical clinic with multiple locations in New York City that has treated thousands of knee arthritis patients. Here is what every knee arthritis sufferer should know about the best treatments and options available today. And why waiting drastically decreases your chances to live a pain free life again.

eliminating the pain. What Results Can Be Expected? Like all medical treatments, the results vary and can not be predicted. In fact, it is impossible to predict results and there are no statistics proving what the “averageâ€? patients can expect. Everyone is individual and gets individual results - so we never tell anyone to expect the same results as any of our other patients. But to be 100% clear - many knee arthritis sufferers get dramatic results. It is not uncommon for patients to either postpone knee replacement surgery for years... or even permanently cancel it. What Are Treatments Like? Treatments are simple, fast and virtually painless. The total time of the procedure itself is only 10 minutes and most say it is like getting a u shot. You walk out of the clinic just minutes after your procedure. But There Is A BIG Problem The key is the treatment must be EXTREMELY PRECISE. If the injection is slightly off, the medication will not get into the knee joint and the treatment will not work. That’s why the experts at OsteoReleif Institute use advanced digital imaging so they can see the injection going directly into the knee joint during the treatment. Research shows that doctors performing joint injections without imaging miss the joint as much as 30% of the time. If you had viscosupplementation without this special digital imaging without good results this may be why. After I had the treatments... the last tuneup...

I was amazed at the ease with which I was evaluated and the treatment schedule implemented. The results I had at Downtown NYC Medical Institute were outstanding. I cannot ask for better results. After the treatment I was able to go back to work with no discomfort at all. They use a digital monitor to locate the space that they use the treatment for and it’s... it’s like exact science.

Knee Arthritis Pain: The Untold Story

THOUSANDS of knee arthritis sufferers ock for this advanced medical treatment - How they relieved pain while so many continue to suffer

If you want instant proof - you can just look at all all the actual patient testimonials we have included. These patients were once skeptical just like you... and are now either pain free... or eliminated quite a bit of their pain. Here’s the most important thing: Many said they saw this information SEVERAL times before ďŹ nally deciding to take action and give us a call. As you can see - they are happy they did. Once crippled with knee pain, they are playing golf again, dancing again, riding bikes again and going for long walks again. But we do get one very common complaint. And it is: “I wish I started this treatment much sooner.â€? Let’s be very clear about this. Time is the most precious thing. There is no way to slow it down - or get any back once it is gone. All the more reason for you to not suffer even one more second than you have to. Missing life suffering in pain is a tragedy. It’s time for you to get rid of your knee pan and start living the life you want and deserve. And please understand this: One of the keys to success in medicine is early diagnosis and treatment. Like many diseases, arthritis only gets worse over time. The longer you wait - the more damage to your knee and the more pain you will be in. If you wait too long, the entire knee joint will be degenerated and your ONLY option will be total knee replacement. If you are suffering with knee arthritis pain, here is why you should act RIGHT NOW: When you have arthritis, you suffer a decrease in the lubricating uids in your knee. In other words, your knee joints basically “dries up.â€? The lubricating uid that decreases is called “synovial uid.â€? Pharmaceutical companies (with the help of scientists) can now make synovial uid-like compounds that... during viscosupplementation treatments... doctors precisely inject directly into the knee joint. This helps replace the lubricating uid to the knee joint - allowing it to move more freely and smoothly and often decreasing or even Many insurances cover these treatments for qualiďŹ ed candidates: Most Out-of-Network Insurance Plans United Health Care In-Network & Out-of - Network (*except UHC Community Plan) 4RADITIONAL -EDICARE s !!20 -EDICARE -OST 5NION 0LANS s 4RANSIT 7ORKER 0LANS 7ORK 2ELATED )NJURIES 7ORK #OMP !UTO !CCIDENT PLANS Out of newtork: !ETNA s #IGNA s %MPIRE s /XFORD s 'HI s Blue Cross Blue Shield & others

That’s why Downtown NYC Medical Institute even takes it one step further. They do not just use one form of advanced imaging during treatment - they use two in their “double conďŹ rmationâ€? process. This is to ensure patients get the best possible results. Another Important Factor Viscosupplementation medications also come in several different brands and chemical make-ups. Just like all medications, some people respond better to some than others. While many doctors only use one brand, the experts at Downtown NYC Medical Institute use several and great effort is taken to ďŹ gure out what the best one for YOU is. What To Do Next If You Are In Pain: Special Your Invitation Downtown NYC Medical Institute offers a limited number of complimentary knee arthritis treatment screenings every month.

Craig D.O. 65 Broadway, New York, NY It got to the point where I couldn’t stand up for a period of time and I knew something had to be done about it. You walk into the doctors ofďŹ ce - he puts your leg in a machine - he shows you where he is going to do the procedure and before you know it... it’s done and you’re outta there. Now I’m able to take out my bicycle a couple of the guys and myself we took a couple of rides out in the woods and we had a good time and I couldn’t do that for years and now I’m able to do it again.

I came to the clinic because I was not sleeping at night. My leg was Pounding. There were times when I sat too long the knee would tighten up. I would get in pain and I would be miserable and I would have it for the whole night. After the treatment I goof around with my grandchildren. I feel like a new woman. It’s great. I know I don’t have to sit on the couch and be in pain and I can just pick up and get dressed and go out. It was so gentle.

“I feel like a new woman�

I just go right to the golf course. I’m able to keep up with these guys who walk - I’m right next to them! My guys on the golf course would say Hey, look at this he doesn’t need us to put the ball up any more. When I’m playing on the course I don’t have any pain any more I don’t have any aches and pain. I’m out there playing!

Prior the the relief center I was taking (9:30) and I was becoming addicted to it and it was damaging my health. Since the treatment, I’ve been able to be less dependent on them. I don’t feel helpless anymore. Since going through the procedure I can ďŹ nally live. I can ďŹ nally live my life.

“I Can Finally Live My Life�

One day, as I was running, my knee got tighter and tighter. I had to stop and just walk home. They x-rayed me and said I was a candidate for it. You sit there for about 2-3 minutes and then you are up and walking out the door. I am ecstatic with the results of this procedure because I could not run just weeks before. I ran my race without any issues. I felt good - it just opened a door that was closing.

“I am ecstatic with the results of this procedure�

The pain was excruciating like 24/7. Nothing I took over-the-counter would work so I knew it was something more serious. When I saw that my condition was not getting any better, I decided to do something about it and I immediately made an appointment - I went and started treatment. The feeling of getting back to my dancing and my mobility is indescribable. I feel like a new woman It’s amazing.

Chloe Moretz and Brooklyn Beckham make it red carpet official Hey, you’re curious about the dating life of a couple of teenagers, right? I thought so, and don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. After months of rumors and speculation, 19-year-old “Kick-Ass” actress Chloe Grace Moretz confirmed that her boyfriend is the 17-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham, Brooklyn — people you’ve probably heard of — when she had him on her arm at the premiere of her latest movie, “Neighbors 2.” It marked the first time they’ve gone to a public event officially as a couple. And E! News even cornered Moretz to get her to make it extra official: “Now it’s out. It’s done,” Moretz said, sounding more than a little defeatist about the

So that rumor about Orlando Bloom getting hot and heavy in Vegas with Selena Gomez despite the fact that he’s dating Katy Perry? Apparently, Perry isn’t mad at him about it. Instead, she’s channeling all of her anger and blame at the entertainment world’s favorite punching bag — because why not? “Katy is putting the blame for this on Taylor Swift,” a source tells Radar Online. “She

said that Selena has wanted her man forever,” but apparently she wouldn’t have acted on those desires were it not for her friendship with Perry-loathing Swift. Makes perfect sense, right? “But Orlando told Katy that he would never, ever cheat on her because he is in love with her.” Man, it must be so easy to get out of trouble when your girlfriend bears an unyielding hatred for Taylor Swift.

Tricks of the trade:

ISTOCK

Small-space design hacks No, these tips won’t add to your square footage — but they will make your living room look bigger. MONICA WEYMOUTH @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us

Now that tiny homes are trending, there’s no shortage of meticulously appointed, impossibly crafty spaces flooding design blogs. But say you’re not an architect customizing a beachfront surf shack. Or a reality TV show designer outfitting a mini ski chalet. Say you’re just like the rest of us: feeling a little claustrophobic in your cramped house, and a bit squeezed by your cramped-house budget. We checked in with New York interior de-

home LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE

signer and small-scale expert Gale Sitomer for some tips that anyone — even you, even us — can pull off this weekend.

White means light If you’re supersavvy, you might want to experiment with creating dimension via two-tone walls or accent colors. If not? Stick with the time-tested, patron saint of small spaces: white paint. “There’s no better color to reflect light in a room and make it feel larger — I even paint my trim and base the same as the walls to allow the maximum amount of light to enter a room,” says Sitomer, who recommends softyet-sparkling Moonlight White and Simply White by Benjamin Moore. “Nothing makes a room feel larger.” For a twist, try introducing texture with a white wallpaper.

Make up with mirrors A bad statement mirror is really, really bad — looking at you, 1960s paneled walls.

But a good statement mirror can open up a tiny room like nothing else. “Just because our grandmothers used framed mirrors doesn’t mean they won’t work in the present,” explains Sitomer. “In smaller spaces, such as bathrooms or powder rooms, we’ve mirrored whole walls. Paint the ceiling the palest blue to create some interest.”

Mix up your lighting Smart lighting is essential to any space, true. But lighting schemes can make or break smaller rooms, which can go from blindingly bright to dim and dingy with the flip of a switch. If you’re low on square footage, make sure to have a variety of fixtures to create the illusion of depth. “We can’t say enough about good lighting!” Sitomer says. “It’s important to have a mix of overhead lighting with ceiling fixtures and ambient lighting with lamps. Then, install dimmers to control the mood.”

Three picks for the space-challenged

1. Lucite furniture technically takes up the same amount of square feet, but the alwaystrending transparent material melts into the room without blocking any precious light. Peekaboo Media Console, $399, cb2.com 2. Need extra seating for company? Skip the bulky chair and consider a compact, versatile storage ottoman—it’ll double as a stool when guests come over, as well as magically hide away

your coffee table clutter. Madison Storage Ottoman, $124, wayfair.com

3. Vertical gardens aren’t just for the yard. With the help of hanging planters, even the smallest studio can enjoy a little greenery. Ceramic wall planters, $19$69, westelm.com

High line’s tallest rental ready to launch TheRealDeal.com is a daily blog and monthly magazine covering real estate in the New York metro area.

The tallest residential tower on the High Line is getting ready to make its debut. Lalezarian Properties plans to launch leasing this summer at its 375-unit development in West Chelsea, where onebedrooms will range from $5,000 to $6,000 a pop. The Long Island-based development firm headed by Kevin Lalezarian is eyeing a launch date in August for the three glassy buildings climbing up on either side of the High Line between West 28th and 29th streets. The tallest of the three is a 35-story tower stretching 420 feet in the air along 10th Avenue. “At the top of the tow-

er the views are incredible. You have 360 degree views,� said Andrew Barrocas of MNS, which is in charge of renting up the campus at 507 W. 28th St. The other two buildings are a pair of 12-story apartment houses on the west side of the elevated park, one facing 28th Street and the other facing 29th. “The High Line is really the main amenity,� Barrocas added. “It literally goes through our building.� The buildings, designed by architect Avinash Malhotra, cover about 400,000 square feet and contain 375 apartments, 75 of which will be affordable under the state’s 80/20 program. The unit mix includes studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, and the amenities include an indoor pool and a gym. RICH BOCKMANN

Plawecki proving doubters wrong The Mets’ catcher is finding his groove behind and at the plate.

On deck The Mets will host the Nationals again on Wednesday (7 p.m., SNY) with Bartolo Colon getting the ball for New York. Washington will counter with Gio Gonzalez. Thursday’s series ďŹ nale will feature a marquee pitching matchup with Matt Harvey slated to throw for the Mets and Stephen Strasburg scheduled to throw for Washington. Steven Matz is expected to start for the Mets in their series opener against Milwaukee on Friday.

ROBERT CRISCOLA @ItsGood2BeKing sports@metro.us

When Mets starting catcher Travis d’Arnaud went down with a strained right shoulder on April 25, there was an understandable panic over the state of the Mets’ backstops. Kevin Plawecki, who was batting just .176 in his limited opportunities before d’Arnaud’s injury, seemed like the only viable replacement and expectations were low. However, Plawecki has filled in commendably as the everyday catcher. Plawecki took over for d’Arnaud on April 26, and the early results were mixed; Plawecki got just three hits in six games, but drew four walks and only struck out twice. Once the Mets hit the road though, Plawecki turned it around. Plawecki played nine of the 11 games on the Mets’ recently concluded road trip, and recorded a hit in all but one of them; the game in which the Mets were shut out by Clayton Kershaw. Four of Plawecki’s nine hits were doubles, and he hit his first home run of the year on May 9. Plawecki collected five RBIs in those nine road games, boosting his average with runners in scoring position to .333. “I’m just going up there trying to get good

Late-night Yankees The Yankees will wrap up their series with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday at 9:40 p.m. EDT on YES as Nathan Eovaldi gets the ball. Eovaldi is 3-2 with a 4.85 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP so far this season. He was solid in his last outing, a 7-3 Yankees win over the defending champion Royals on May 12, as he worked ďŹ ve innings and allowed three earned runs on eight hits. The Yanks will continue their West Coast swing beginning Thursday in Oakland. GETTY IMAGES

Plawecki told NJ.com. “It just allows me to see the pitches a lot better and gives me a lot more time to react and recognize pitches. It ultimately gets me in a more consistent hitting position each and every time up to bat and just allows for more consistent swings

on the ball.� “He needed [this streak] to kind of help his psyche out,� Long said. “He was swinging the bat OK, but he wasn’t getting much to show for it. Like any other player, you do need a couple nuggets to kind of let you know you’re

doing things right.� Furthermore, Plawecki has been an upgrade over d’Arnaud from a defensive standpoint. In 13 games, d’Arnaud allowed 14 stolen bases while throwing out only three runners (18 percent), a ratio far below the league average of 32 percent. Plawecki has allowed 13 stolen bases while throwing out six runners in 20 games, which is exactly the league-average. With no timetable set for d’Arnaud’s return, Plawecki will continue to get opportunities to show he belongs on the major league roster. “[Players] know this is a huge opportunity to make a difference,� Mets manager Terry Collins recently told the media. “This guy is trying to stay in the major leagues and become an everyday catcher; here’s his chance to show us he can do it.�

COUGHLIN WANTS BACK IN, DRUGS AND BASEBALL, AND RUSSELL WILSON The term “leader of menâ€? is thrown around often when it comes to head football coaches. It’s a bit of a clichĂŠ as we’ve seen plenty of “players’ coaches,â€? who don’t exactly strike fear in the hearts of their players, win big (Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll comes to mind). But former Giants head coach Tom Coughlin was undoubtedly a “leader of men.â€? Coughlin spoke with The MMQB’s Peter King this week about his current state of mind and it seems like he desperately wants back in to the NFL. “I’ve coached for 47 years of my life,â€? Coughlin told King. “You take it away, and that’s not an easy thing to duplicate. “The 70-year-old-man stu will be a factor [as to whether or not another team gives him a chance] and I’m sure they’ll know this would be a three-or-four-year thing.â€? Coughlin will turn 70 this August. The earliest he’d get another head coaching gig would be next season when he’d be 71. Former Bualo coach Marv

Levy and former Bears coach George Halas are the oldest men to have ever coached an NFL team as they both were barking orders at age 72.Â

DVR-worthy for sure Bill Simmons is no longer at ESPN, but the network continues to crank out solid “30 for 30â€? sports documentaries (Simmons was an executive producer of the series). Mark your calendars for this one – “Doc & Darryl,â€? which will explore the troubled lives and careers of former Mets stars Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry will premier on ESPN on July 14 at 9 p.m.. Gooden admitted a few years back that he was doing coke in a sketchy Long Island apartment during the Mets’ 1986 championship parade and was too paranoid to be there, and Strawberry’s drug issues are also well-documented. Should be fascinating.

claimed that Future was “a bad parent who was not present in the child’s life,� according to TMZ, but the California court sided with Future’s reps. Wilson, the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, made headlines last year when he said

he was saving sex with Ciara until marriage. Further conďŹ rmation that Wilson is hopelessly whipped — he delivered a commencement speech at the University of Wisconsin last weekend. Instead of oering the typical “spread your wings kids, you’re ready

to yâ€? mumbo jumbo, Wilson oered this advice to the Class of 2016: “If you’re dating a woman that’s way out of your league, ask her to marry you.â€? Talk about false modesty. We all know Wilson routinely makes “10 hottest NFL playersâ€? listicles.Â
