3 things you need to know US MILITARY STRIKES YEMEN AFTER MISSILE ATTACKS ON NAVY SHIP

1

The U.S. military launched cruise-missile strikes Thursday to knock out three coastal radar sites in areas of Yemen controlled by Iran-aligned Houthi forces, retaliating after failed missile attacks this week on a U.S. Navy destroyer, U.S. officials said. The strikes, authorized by President Barack Obama, represent Washington’s first direct military action against suspected Houthi-controlled targets in Yemen’s conflict. Still, the Pentagon appeared to stress the limited nature of the strikes, aimed at radar that enabled the launch of at least three missiles against the U.S. Navy ship USS Mason on Sunday and Wednesday.

CDC: SURVEY POINTS TO HIGHER US BIRTH RATE IN FUTURE

2

More U.S. women expect to have children some time in the future than they did in 2002, according to a federal study released Thursday, which could point to a higher birth rate. A survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that half of women ages 15–44 expected to have children, up from 46 percent in a 2002 survey. “It’s not a huge increase but it is a statistically significant increase,” one of the study’s authors, Jill Daugherty, said. The increase could indicate a higher birth rate at some point in the future, Daugherty said. The study did not examine what was behind the increase. The overall number of U.S. births declined slightly in 2015 to 3.97 million from 3.98 million the year before, according to the CDC. The drop followed an increase in 2014, the first since 2007, the agency said. REUTERS

VERIZON TO CLOSE CALL CENTERS IN 5 STATES

Verizon Communications Inc. plans to close call centers in five states, including its home state of New York, the No. 1 U.S. wireless company said Thursday.The move, which will affect about 3,200 workers, is a part of Verizon’s effort to consolidate customer-service operations across the United States. The company, which recently agreed to buy Yahoo Inc. for $4.8 billion, is looking to tap new revenue in areas such as digital media and advertising outside the oversaturated wireless market. “We are realigning our real estate portfolio and relocating these centers into other centers where we have extra capacity,” Verizon spokeswoman Kim Ancin said. The consolidation involves Verizon call centers near Rochester and Orangeburg, New York; Bangor, Maine; Lincoln, Nebraska; Wallingford and Meriden, Connecticut; and Rancho Cordoba, California, the company said.

FDNY drone program struggles for takeoff as FAA adjusts regulations The sky is not the limit. AMANDA MIKELBERG @MetroNewYork

amanda.mikelberg@metro.us

Last month, it was reported that the FDNY was poised to launch a drone program that would aid in emergencies. Now the word from the FDNY is that it might take a little longer to get the plan off the ground. “We are still very much in the testing and training and development phase,” a representative for the FDNY told Metro on Thursday. Its primary use will be to examine “structural fires,” he said. “If we’re standing in front of the building, it would be great to see the advancement of the fire, if it has gone beyond what we can observe, and the chief can apply operations and procedures using that information,” the spokesperson said. One of the obstacles for the FDNY, or anyone who wants to operate a drone, is learning the particularly complicated

regulations for New York City, and getting licensed. As of August, Part 107 requires anybody who will use drones for commercial purposes — even the tiny new selfie drone released Thursday — has to get an operational license by taking a test of aeronautical knowledge and by clearing a TSA background check. “The new Part 107 test, you’re not just going to walk in there and pass, you have to know how to read a chart and understand airspace and weather and what distances you can safely fly,” Lt. Matthew Tiedemann, coordinator of the Bergen County Office of Emergency Management, told Metro. In 2014, Tiedemann pitched an idea for a drone-aided rescue program that was enthusiastically accepted. A year later, after rigorous compliance testing and operator licensing, the country’s first official emergency-response drones were at the scene of a flood in Little Ferry, a church fire in Englewood

and has even aided in manhunts. “My phone’s ringing every day,” Tiedemann told Metro. Officials from other states, and agencies such as the Port Authority of New York call him to ask for advice in developing their own programs. For civilian drone operators in New York, there are only five parks where drones are allowed — none in Manhattan. And considering the population density and dynamic terrain, federal laws become more difficult to navigate: flying below 400 feet, flying within visual line of sight, not flying over people, not flying at stadiums or sporting events, never flying within 5 miles of an airport without special permission, never flying near emergency response efforts, not flying near aircrafts — and not flying under the influence. As of Thursday, the uses of drone technology expanded to indoor, aerial selfies. The Hover Camera Passport, selling for about $550, folds to the size of a book, has

safely enclosed propellers and can be controlled by a smartphone app, a joystick or programmed to follow the operator — for a bike ride, for instance. “Selfie drone. Amazing. It’s small, it’s lightweight, can’t hurt a fly. Just a new way to express yourself and be creative,” Roger Kapsalis, who opened Brooklyn Drones this March told Metro. Kapsalis sells drone equipment and provides drone training on premises and in private lessons. Since the new selfie drone is only at 242 grams (around a half a pound), it flies just under the FAA requirement to register any aerial vehicle (get a license plate) of 250 grams or more. Yet it’s very important, Kapsalis said, that users are aware of all of the FAA guidelines that also apply to the mini selfie-drone that might be used for commercial purposes. Thankfully, he had never heard of any dronerelated injury. “Not one single person has been injured by a drone,” he said.

Preliminary NTSB report confirms train was speeding before Hoboken crash Modified service resumed this week on eight of the station’s 17 tracks. NIKKI M. MASCALI @MetroNewYork

nikki.mascali@metro.us

The New Jersey Transit train that crashed into Hoboken Station on Sept. 29 was going more than twice the station speed limit, a preliminary report released Thursday by the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed. While the NTSB did not state the cause of the crash, it did confirm that the emergency-braking system was employed by the train engineer less than one second before the train collided with a bumping post on Track 5 and then struck a terminal wall. A woman standing

on the platform was killed and more than 100 passengers and crewmembers were injured. After investigators downloaded data from the train’s event recorder last week, they discovered the train began to speed up about 38 seconds before the crash, reaching 21 mph when it struck the post. The engineer, Tommy Gallagher, told investigators that the train was traveling at 10 mph when it entered the terminal track and that he woke up on the cab floor after the crash and “has no memory” of it, according to the report. Modified service resumed on eight of Hoboken Station’s 17 tracks on Monday, NJT said, adding that tracks 1 through 9 will remain closed as repair work continues.

Mark-Viverito reveals she was sexually abused as a child Citing the ongoing controversy surrounding Donald Trump’s “misogyny” and “sexual violence,” City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito revealed Wednesday on Twitter that she had been sexually abused as a child. “#NoMoreSilence I am empowered. And strong. #FearMe,” Mark-Viverito wrote in a second tweet. An outpouring of support ensued, with one user saying the speaker “is not alone. Many of us suffer quietly,” while another thanked her “for standing up for women and girls.” The tweets from Mark-Viverito, who has helped promote April as Child Abuse Prevention Month in the city, came on the heels of new allegations that the Republican presidential candidate inappropriately touched two more women.

BRIEFS Transit police deliver first baby at new WTC Oculus hub Delivering a baby while on duty is something a police officer might have to do once in their professional career. Port Authority Officer Brian McGraw, however, delivered his second on-duty baby Wednesday night in the new Oculus transit hub in the World Trade Center. McGraw, who is a trained emergency medical technician, and Sgt. Aaron Woody responded to an assistance call from patroling Officer Matthew Binkowitz, who was approached around 11 p.m. by Suraji Agbere, who told him

that his wife, Mariam Suleman, was in labor, CBS New York reported. Minutes later, a healthy baby girl named Naheeda was born behind a makeshift privacy screen made from a nearby display. She and her parents were taken to Lenox Hill Hospital, where both are doing well, a hospital representative said Thursday. McGraw delivered his first on-duty baby, a girl named Asenat Abdrabo, in the WTC PATH station last year. Like Naheeda, Asenat also holds the distinction of being the first baby born at that WTC station. NIKKI M. MASCALI

“He was like an octopus. His hands were everywhere,” one of the women, Jessica Leeds, told The New York Times. Leeds, 74, alleges that Trump touched her breasts and tried to put his hands up her skirt when she was seated next to him in first class on a flight 30 years ago. Rachel Crooks alleges

that Trump kissed her “directly on the mouth” in 2005 when she met him near the Trump Tower elevators as a 22-year-old receptionist for a real estate company located in the building. “I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that,” Crooks

told the Times. Trump grew “highly agitated” when the Times reached out about the allegations and called the reporter a “disgusting human being,” the Times wrote. He tweeted Thursday that the Times story was “a total fabrication.”NIKKI M. MASCALI

Florida declares new area of Sources: US Zika transmission in Miami investigators see suicide behind Conn. plane crash Florida Gov. Rick Scott said state health officials have confirmed that local transmission of the mosquito-borne Zika virus is occurring in a new small area in Miami-Dade County, where the state believes two women and three men have been infected by the virus.

Florida officials on Thursday announced a new area of Zika transmission in the Miami region and have called on the federal government for funding to help fight the outbreak. The governor said the state’s health department believes Zika transmission is only occurring in Miami-Beach and in the new area, which covers about 1 square mile. Zika, which is spread primarily by mosquitoes but also sexually, is a concern for pregnant women and their partners because the virus has been liked with a

series of birth defects including microcephaly, marked by small head size and underdeveloped brains that can lead to severe developmental problems in babies. Last month, U.S. health officials urged pregnant women to consider putting off all nonessential travel to Miami due to the Zika virus even as the state lifted a travel warning for the Wynwood, the Miami neighborhood which was the first site of local Zika transmission in the continental United States. Florida has reported a total of 164 cases of Zika caused by local mosquito transmission, including 19 people who were infected in the state but live elsewhere. There are also five cases in which it was not clear whether transmission occurred in Florida or elsewhere. In a statement released on Thursday, Scott said the announcement of the new area of transmission underscores the “urgent need” for federal funding to fight the virus, adding that the state still has not received any of the funding that was approved by Congress

BRIEFS Infant in stroller falls to death in elevator shaft A baby girl sitting in a stroller was killed after plunging down an elevator shaft Thursday morning at a Brooklyn apartment building, police said. A 911 call for medical assistance at about 10:30 a.m. led officers to the upsetting discovery of a 6-week-old girl unconscious atop a stalled elevator eight floors below the opening in the shaft. The mother of the baby told police that she pushed the stroller into the shaft, thinking the elevator was there, CBS News reported. Mother and child were on the 23rd floor of the building in the Sea Gate neighborhood. The baby, named Areej Ali, was taken to Coney Island Hospital and pronounced dead. The distraught mother of the infant was also taken to the

and signed by President Barack Obama two weeks ago. Scott said he has asked the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to work directly with the MiamiDade Mosquito Control District to identify best practices for defeating Zika in the new area. Florida officials had already reported four of the five cases of Zika that occurred in the new

area of transmission in Miami-Dade County. “With the confirmation of today’s case, this area now meets the CDC’s criteria for a new zone,” officials said in a statement. The Zika virus was first detected in Brazil last year and has since spread across the Americas. It has been linked to more than 1,800 cases of microcephaly in Brazil. REUTERS

Investigators believe a Jordanian student pilot was trying to kill himself when he crashed a small plane in Connecticut this week but do not believe he was affiliated with militant groups, federal officials familiar with the probe said. Feras Freitekh, 28, was with a flight instructor in a twinengine Piper PA-34 Seneca when the plane slammed into a utility pole on Tuesday and burst into flames in East Hartford. Freitekh died in the crash and the instructor was badly injured. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Wednesday that its initial investigation indicated the crash was “the result of an intentional act,” and the FBI joined the probe. Investigators came to believe that the crash was a suicide attempt by

Freitekh after speaking with the instructor, said the two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity. There is no evidence Freitekh shouted religious statements before the crash and nothing else pointing to terrorism, the officials said. Freitekh had not been known to U.S. intelligence agencies. East Hartford Police Lieutenant Joshua Litwin said at a news conference on Wednesday that he did not know who was flying the plane at the time of the crash. The aircraft had two sets of controls, allowing either person to pilot the plane. Freitekh and the instructor, Arian Prevalla, argued and fought for control before the crash, the Hartford Courant reported on Wednesday, citing unidentified sources. REUTERS

Rangers greet their fans hospital, police said. The building, the Sea Rise apartment, has been the subject of numerous complaints about out-of-service elevators since January 2015 through as recently as last month, according to city records. The building currently has 50 open building code violations, including four elevator violations, the Daily News reported. AMANDA MIKELBERG

Accused NY bomber pleads not guilty from hospital bed Ahmad Khan Rahimi, 28, whose last name had previously been reported as Rahami, appeared via live video on a television screen in a courtroom in Elizabeth, New Jersey, from the hospital where he has been recovering from gunshot wounds suffered during a shootout with police. The man accused of last month’s bombings in New York and New Jersey that injured dozens of people made his first court appearance on Thursday from a hospital bed, pleading not guilty to attempting to murder police officers. With his court-appointed lawyer, Peter Liguori, standing bedside in hospital scrubs, Rahimi lay still with a blanket pulled up to his neck during the hearing. Rahimi, said by U.S. authorities to have been inspired by radial jihadism, spoke in a quiet voice, answering “yes� to several questions from Union County Superior Court Judge Regina Caulfield about whether he understood the charges and wished Liguori to represent him. Liguori told the judge that his client’s last name was spelled “Rahimi.� The hearing, which lasted only a few minutes, concerned state charges

against him stemming from a gunfight with police on Sept. 19, after an officer discovered him sleeping in the doorway of a bar. Rahimi, a U.S. citizen born in Afghanistan, is also facing federal charges of using weapons of mass destruction and bombing a place of public use in New York and New Jersey. He is accused of setting off an explosive in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood that injured 31 people as well as a pipe bomb near a charity running race in a New Jersey shore town on Sept. 17. In addition, Rahimi is charged with planting another pressure-cooker bomb in Chelsea that did not go off and with leaving several devices at

a train station in Elizabeth, just blocks from the courthouse where he appeared on video on Thursday. One of those explosives detonated when a bomb squad robot attempted to defuse it. None of the blasts killed anyone. It remains unclear when Rahimi will appear in federal court, but it is likely he will face charges there before New Jersey’s state case proceeds to trial. The hearing had been delayed while Rahimi, who was unconscious for weeks, recovered from his injuries. Two officers suffered injuries in the shootout, and at least one of them attended the hearing on Thursday.

‘Greatest living poet’ Bob Dylan wins Nobel literature prize The 75-year-old Dylan — who won the prize for “having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition” — now finds himself in the company of Winston Churchill, Thomas Mann and Rudyard Kipling as Nobel laureates. Bob Dylan, regarded as the voice of a generation for his influential songs from the 1960s onwards, has won the Nobel Prize for Literature in a surprise decision that made him the only singer-songwriter to win the award. The announcement was met with gasps in Stockholm’s stately Royal Academy Hall, followed — unusually — by some laughter. Dylan’s songs, such as “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “The Times They Are a-Changin’,” “Subterranean Homesick Blues” and “Like a Rolling Stone” captured a spirit of rebellion, dissent and independence. More than 50 years on, Dylan is still writing songs and is often on tour, performing his dense poetic lyrics, sung in a sometimes rasping voice that has been ridiculed by detractors. Some lyrics have resonated for decades. “Blowin’ in the Wind,” written in 1962, was considered one of the most eloquent folk songs of all time. “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” in which Dylan told Americans “your sons and your daughters are beyond your command,” was an anthem of the civil rights movement and Vietnam War protests. Awarding the 8 million Swedish crown

($930,000) prize, the Swedish Academy said: “Dylan has the status of an icon. His influence on contemporary music is profound.” Swedish Academy member Per Wastberg said: “He is probably the greatest living poet.” Asked if he thought Dylan’s Nobel lecture — traditionally given by the laureate in Stockholm later in the year — would be a concert, he replied: “Let’s hope so.” Over the years, not everyone has agreed that Dylan was a poet of the first order. Novelist Norman Mailer countered: “If Dylan’s a poet, I’m a basketball player.” Sara Danius, permanent secretary of the Nobel Academy, told a news conference there was “great unity” in the panel’s decision to give

Jewish family but in the late 1970s converted to born-again Christianity and later said he followed no organized religion. At another point in his life, Dylan took up boxing. Dylan’s spokesman, Elliott Mintz, declined immediate comment when reached by phone, citing the early hour in Los Angeles, where it was 3 a.m. at the time of the announcement. Dylan was due to give a concert in Las Vegas on Thursday evening. Literature was the last of this year’s Nobel Prizes to be awarded. The prize is named after dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel and has been awarded since 1901 for achievements in science, literature and peace in accordance with his will.

BRIEF Poll: France’s Juppe seen winning first primary debate Former Prime Minister Alain Juppe was seen as the winner of the first debate on Thursday among candidates for the centerright’s nomination in France’s 2017 presidential election, a poll published immediately afterward showed. Juppe, already the frontrunner on a centrist platform of “happy identity” which he said in the televised debate meant

giving voters hope, was seen as most convincing by 32 percent of those who said they would vote in the end-November primaries. The poll was conducted as an online survey of 885 voters by polling firm Elabe commissioned by news network BFM TV. Nicolas Sarkozy, a former president running on a law-andorder agenda meant, he said, “to ensure France once more becomes the great nation it is,” convinced 27 percent of voters in

the two-hour debate. The debate showed great similarities among the seven candidates on economic proposals meant to reduce public spending and loosen or eliminate France’s iconic 35-hour work week. There were more differences on issues of security and immigration, with contenders quarrelling over whether those on intelligence services’ watch lists should be systematically

detained. Sarkozy, who was France’s president from 2007 to 2012 before losing to current president, Socialist Francois Hollande, was attacked by several of his former ministers and party allies. They questioned why he would be any different than in his first term and noted he faces multiple judicial investigations into alleged corruption, fraud and campaign funding irregularities. REUTERS

Nigeria’s Boko Haram frees 21 kidnapped girls Jihadist group Boko Haram has freed 21 of more than 200 girls it kidnapped in April 2014 in the northern Nigerian town of Chibok, after mediation by Switzerland and the International Red Cross, officials said. Around 270 girls were taken from their school in Chibok in the remote northeastern Borno state, where Boko Haram has waged a seven-year insurgency aimed at creating an Islamic state, killing thousands and displacing more than two million people. “I met them about an hour ago and I can confirm they are in good health,” Nigerian Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said after meeting the 21 released girls, who were brought from the northeastern city of Maiduguri to the capital Abuja. Their release, a boost for the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, came after the Red Cross and the Swiss government brokered a deal with the group, officials said. Dozens had escaped in the initial melee in 2014, but more than 200 girls are still missing. The kidnapping prompted outrage worldwide. “In the next few days or months we will be able to negotiate the release of more of the girls,” Osinbajo told reporters. A picture released by a presidency official showed one of the girls

Information Minister Lai Mohammed denied reports that the government had swapped Boko Haram fighters for their release and said he was not aware if any ransom had been paid. He said a Nigerian army operation against Boko Haram would continue. Switzerland “facilitated contacts between Nigerian representatives and intermediaries of Boko Haram” after a request from Abuja, a Swiss government spokeswoman said. “We have nothing to add,” she said, when asked if it had been a prisoner swap. In recent days, the Nigerian military has been carrying out a large-scale offensive in the Sambisa forest, a stronghold of Boko Haram, which last year pledged loyalty to the Islamic State militant group.

Dianne Feinstein, Ed Markey, Patrick Leahy and Benjamin Cardin. Also on Thursday, the governments of 19 cities, including St. Louis and Minneapolis, passed ordinances to support the Standing Rock tribe in opposition of the pipeline.

In recent weeks, protests against the Dakota Access pipeline led by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe in North Dakota have drawn international attention, prompting the U.S. government to temporarily block construction on federal land. Tribal leaders say the pipeline will desecrate land and pollute water, especially around the planned crossing through Lake Oahe, a sacred site. Opposition to the pipeline has drawn support from 200 Native American tribes. On Tuesday, antipipeline activists in four states, in solidarity with the Dakota pipeline protesters, closed pipeline valves to halt the flow of crude through arteries transporting 15 percent of U.S. oil consumption.

BRIEF Trump hasn’t sued a newspaper for libel in decades, records shown Donald Trump hasn’t sued a newspaper for libel in three decades, despite the Republican presidential nominee repeatedly threatening to do so over the course of his business career, according to databases of state and federal court records. A lawyer for Trump demanded on Wednesday the New York Times retract a story in which two women accused Trump of inappropriately touching them. If the newspaper did not comply, Trump, who says the allegations are fabricated, would “pursue all available actions and remedies,” the lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, said in a letter. Trump said at a rally on Thursday he was preparing a lawsuit. An attorney for the Times, David McCraw, said the story was of national importance and the paper would “welcome the opportunity” to defend it in court. Over the years, media outlets including the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and Fortune Magazine have reported receiving similar threats from Trump or his representatives in advance of unflattering articles.

VOTEPOCALYPSE? If this election were a postapocalyptic thriller (it is), I might be frightened (I am) and you’d be justified retreating into the mountains to hoard gold and set rabbit snares (you are … be my guest). Every day we are greeted by a fresh army of partisans staggering like zombies toward the cameras spouting all sorts of vile innuendoes, lies and warnings about the consequences of this vote. Just this week, Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton “the devil.” I’m pretty sure his statement is wrong, because last I heard, the devil went down to Georgia and hasn’t been on Expedia since. “Please enter your full name? Two blanks. Hmmm … Beelzebub is too short and Lord of Darkness is too long.” And no less than The New York Times has highlighted Clinton’s eschatological claim about Trump: “I’m the last thing standing between you and the apocalypse.” That can’t be right.

and let me tell you, they are watching us the way you watch divorcing neighbors when their fight spills into the driveway; meaning they are horrified, amused and fascinated — all while simultaneously bracing to dodge gunfire. And mostly they are incredulous. “How did this happen?” they ask. I start talking about the vagaries of the primary system, party machinations, and the electoral college … then suddenly I’m rattling about billionaires in beauty pageant dressing rooms, secret email servers, hidden tax returns, clandestine speeches and “Oh hell,” I say, ”apparently the world is ending.” I hope I’m wrong. Actually, I suspect no matter who wins the Republic will find a way to keep keeping on. But if you will excuse I’m going to wrap this up now. I need to go buy some bottled water and canned goods.

Ben Affleck plays a number cruncher with some very dastardly clients (who can also kick some butt) in “The Accountant.” CHUCK ZLOTNICK

THE FUN STARTS HERE

Affleck stays true The star talks “The Accountant” and the difficulties of raising children. MATT PRIGGE @mattprigge

matt.prigge@metro.us

Ben Affleck doesn’t see a lot of similarities between Bruce Wayne and Christian Wolff, the number cruncher — and also ass kicker — he plays in “The Accountant.” But if pressed, he has an answer: “Same chin,” he replies, joking about one of his most famous features. In the thriller, Affleck plays an autistic man who became not just an accountant, but an accountant with ties to the mafia and other fearful clients. His work has aroused suspicion by the feds (including one played by J.K. Simmons), who want to bring him in. But Christian isn’t going quietly; he’s a man of mystery and rather good with a gun, as well as a fist. As a thriller about a private man of action, “The Accountant” is

superficially similar to some of his recent movies, notably his current stint as Batman, so far seen in “Batman v Superman” and “Suicide Squad.” But it’s different enough for Affleck’s tastes. “I’m not much of a tactician when it comes to what a career should look like,” Affleck says during a news conference. “It’s more about projects that interest and move me. Part of that is variation. You could become bored doing the same thing over and over again. This keeps me activated and engaged.” One thing that’s different is the fight scenes. With Batman, Affleck could defer to a stuntman, since Bruce Wayne tends to keep his mask on when not pummeling goons (or Superman). Not in “The Accountant.” “It’s a lot harder for the stuntman to do your stunt when you’re not wearing a mask,” he explains. “I had to really be on top of my game and work hard with some really great profes-

sionals who were really good at educating me about this fighting style. It was a learning experience.” “The Accountant” also touches on the perils of parenting. Christian was raised by a father who didn’t want him to go to a school for autistic children. Instead he taught his son how to fight, leading him to a life outside the law. “That’s what I thought was the most heartbreaking part of the story,” Affleck reveals. “As a parent, I face dilemmas every day. What’s the right way to raise children? Every moment there’s a crossroad; there’s a lot of choices you can make. We all make mistakes, for sure. We try our best. As they say, when you have kids, all of a sudden your heart is outside your body. All of a sudden you feel vulnerable. This fear of a child being vulnerable is really powerful.” Still, he understands on some level why Christian’s dad thought his delicate son needed to learn how to fight.

“He does it out of love and compassion and fear for his son — and he ends up brutalizing him,” Affleck says. “It’s really interesting to look at what’s the appropriate way to channel these intense emotions we have as parents. It’s not easy.” And at least he didn’t have to direct. Affleck’s third film as director, the crime drama “Live by Night,” arrives in January, and he’s helming the next Batman movie, currently titled simply “The Batman,” himself. But he still likes working for others. “As an actor, movies are all about the director. I’ve learned that, finally,” he says, chuckling. “When you work with a director you’re on his or her ship. Your job is to be creative, but to fulfill this person’s vision.” And there’s an extra perk: “The nice thing about acting is once the set falls down you can just go back to your trailer. So many things are not my problem!”

Kristen Stewart thinks we all need to relax The actress gushes about her new movie, “Certain Women,” and her director, Kelly Reichardt.

Behind the scenes

MATT PRIGGE @mattprigge

matt.prigge@metro.us

Kristen Stewart knew she had to work with Kelly Reichardt. The “Wendy and Lucy” filmmaker’s previous movie, “Night Moves,” starred two of her friends, Dakota Fanning and Jesse Eisenberg. “Both of them were like, ‘Do anything with her!’” she recalls. And so we have “Certain Women,” which tells three stories of women: Laura Dern plays a lawyer who gets involved in a hostage situation; Michelle Williams pops up in the second act as a woman lightly struggling with her marriage. Stewart comes in during the third, playing a frazzled night school teacher who draws the mysterious attention of a lonely young women (Lily Gladstone). It’s a sad movie. And Stewart, 26, loves it that way. We could just spend most of this interview geeking out over Kelly Reichardt together. I f—ing love her. I’m lucky enough to know her, and I can tell you that her movies really reflect her. You watch one and it’s very distinctly her. That’s kind of rare. And she’s not f—ing copying anyone. She’s able to create this whole environment that focuses on moments that happen in between the moments

that people often focus on in movies. There’s something biting about her movies, too. I don’t think you laugh, but you think, “That’s funny. That’s really funny.” That describes her s— to me. Her new film is a film about women, but it’s not overtly a political statement, or it doesn’t let itself be defined only by that. They’re each up against something, but not in a way that’s selfaggrandizing. It’s not like, [shakes fist] “I am going to overcome this adversity!” None of them find resolve. They all want something they can’t have. You’ve got Michelle’s character, who’s kind of f—ing with the conventional dynamic of what a marriage is. And

then you have Laura’s character acknowledging the illogical nature of bureaucracy, and the fact that men don’t listen to women. But she doesn’t really do anything about it. It doesn’t work out for her. It’s agonizing, but in a quiet way. It’s a grind. They’re all f—ing exhausted. These women are so tired. I love that. What about your character? My chick just wants to feel f—ing valid, and she isn’t going to [feel valid] while doing the things she’s doing. And you’ve got Lily’s character, who just wants a friend. She has a crush on someone and doesn’t even know what the hell that even is. She’s looking in all the wrong places. These people are f—ing lonely.

And it’s f—ing painful. There’s a remoteness to all of them that seems learned, it seems protective. And it’s sad. The interactions between the characters are so complex and speak to this idea that we’ll never really know anyone. But I’d like to argue that acknowledging that we’ll always get people wrong is kind of a relief. We’re all so unaware of each other. It’s crazy. But [knowing that] does set you free a little bit. It’s weird. I’m constantly, with every friendship, every f—ing family relationship, I’m like, “You need to know me!” Then you realize no one can know anyone. And it is re-

There’s a fun running gag in “Certain Women’s” diner scenes where your character keeps ordering food then only takes a couple bites before ditching it. She just has no time for f—ing anything. And she definitely doesn’t do anything that’s nice for herself. And it was such a bitch getting through those meals, because we shot every scene in the diner in one night. So I’m eating the cheeseburger and the grilled sandwich and a sundae and a soup. I thought I was going to die. By the end of the night I was sweating [laughs], like, “Oh my God, I’m going to puke.” It’s everything I would have gotten, but all at the same time. It was gnarly.

lieving. There’s a relief to that. We never really know each other. On the other hand, that’s isolating and scary. I’ve found that as I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten more chill about not having a deep connection with every person I meet. And as a result I feel more confident and relaxed, strangely. Seriously. You just need to relax a little bit. I’ve done that as I’ve gotten older, too. When I was younger I got superfreaked out if there wasn’t a clarity to every exchange. Now it’s like, ‘That’s fine, whatever, I don’t care.’

I don’t love rock music, but I love certain things in it, and that goes for all other genres, too,� says the 27-yearold, who grew up in California listening to everything from Joni Mitchell to Jimi Hendrix to Michael Jackson, courtesy of her parents and siblings. “Right now, I’m listening to Bjork and Slow Dancer, this Australian singer songwriter,� she continues. “I always listen to a lot of Bob Dylan, and I constantly go through Elliott Smith’s catalogue — he educates me,� she coos fondly of

the late American pop singer songwriter. It could just be that Glaspy is avoiding pigeonholing herself. “Emotions and Math� is a musical map of where she’s been, but not necessarily where she’s going. “It’s a collection of songs that fit together,� she says. “They were written over the course of six years, I was 21 when I started — actually, some are even older.� While Glaspy, who is based in New York City, sounds pretty laid back and her loose, raw song style is easily described as slacker, nothing about her record is hap-

penstance. “I labor over the lyrics quite a bit,� Glaspy says. “In terms of the sound, the production, the arrangements, it’s all very intentional: This is exactly what I intended each song to sound like.� The next batch of songs is already cooking, she says, and as to where that’s going, guess what? Wait and see: “I’m listening to a lot of classical, a lot of Tchaikovsky, and thinking about different arrangements,� she muses. “I covered some ground with this first record, but I know I still have much more to cover.�

The Giants are in desperate need of a classic Odell Beckham Jr. game this Sunday against Baltimore. GETTY IMAGES

Things to watch for: Ravens vs. Giants

The New York offense needs to come alive against Baltimore. KRISTIAN DYER @KristianRDyer sports@metro.us

Here we go again. It is now teetering in must-win territory for the New York Giants, who, as losers of three straight games, are now at 2-3 on the year. Most troubling for the Giants is that what was supposed to be a potent offense has been really struggling to move the ball. And against the Baltimore Ravens (Sunday, 1 p.m., CBS), a team that historically has had a stout defense, it might not get any easier to put

up points. Three things to watch from the Giants in Week 6:

1

Beat up and battered

This week the list of Giants unable to practice or limited in practice read like a laundry list of impact players. Names such as cornerback Eli Apple, safety Darian Thompson and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul missed either some or all of the week due to injury. Others such as cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, tight end Larry Donnell, running back Rashad Jennings and defensive end Olivier Vernon were limited. With so many star players potentially

out or missing chunks of practice, that’s not a good look.

offensive 2The coordinator

The Ravens’ appointment of Marty Mornhinweg as offensive coordinator, replacing Marc Trestman, will surely impact the Ravens offense on Sunday. The playbook will be simplified, focusing primarily on what worked for a very average Ravens offense through the season’s first five weeks. But there is an unpredictability factor to Mornhinweg, who spent two seasons as offensive coordinator with the New York Jets. It will make game prep for the Giants defense a bit

more challenging.

book 3The of Eli

The report on stopping the Giants seems to be out, with teams playing one if not two safeties very high, taking away the deep threats that are wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Victor Cruz. The Giants offense was supposed to be elite, but with little semblance of a running game and the offensive line in shambles, it has taken its toll on Eli Manning and the whole unit. “No one is panicking; no one is feeling a way about his performance. Obviously he knows himself, what he needs to fix and change,” Cruz said of Manning. “I’m

sure the offensive coaching staff are doing their jobs in terms of putting him in a position where he’s comfortable and

making reads, things like that. We’ll see where it goes. No one is hitting the panic button on Eli Manning.”

Where to place your money this weekend The best bets for NFL Week 6. ROBERT CRISCOLA @ItsGood2BeKing sports@metro.us

Metro gives you three underdogs to consider in Week 6.

Atlanta Falcons at Seattle Seahawks (-6) An unstoppable force meets an immovable object as Atlanta’s topranked passing attack invades CenturyLink Field to test Seattle’s league-best defense. The Falcons have already proven themselves to be the real deal after winning outright as six-point underdogs in Denver last week against another highly-touted defense. Though the Seahawks are rested off a bye week, Matt Ryan and Julio Jones will give Seattle’s secondary all they can handle. The passing game should be set up by Atlanta’s excellent rushing attack, which has averaged over 124 YPG this season thanks primarily to Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman. Seattle could have a hard time putting up points. It is only 21st in PPG at 19.8. And while the Falcons’ stoppers have allowed a ghastly 28 PPG this season, they’ve had to face some highpowered offenses like New Orleans and Oakland early in the year, which has skewed the numbers a bit. The Falcons only allowed 16 points to the Broncos last week, which was a very encouraging effort. In a game that feels

like a toss-up, getting six points with Atlanta is a bargain. The pick: Falcons +6

Philadelphia Eagles (-2.5) at Washington Washington seeks their fourth straight win on the season and their fifth straight ATS (against the spread) win against the Eagles when they host their NFC East rivals on Sunday. With their loss to the Lions last week, the Eagles dropped to 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as a road favorite. Philly’s

defense was exposed out of the bye week in Detroit (24 points allowed), and though the Eagles are fifth-best in football at getting to the QB (14 sacks), Kirk Cousins should be kept upright behind an O-line that’s only surrendered eight sacks in five games. The pick: Washington +2.5

Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers (-4) Expect the Cowboys to light up the scoreboard at Lambeau Field. The Packers haven’t trended

favorably at home (2-4-1 ATS in their last seven home games) and will face the NFL’s second-best offense by YPG. The Packers are ranked first in YPG allowed on the ground but have yet to face a rushing attack rated higher than 23rd this season, so Ezekiel Elliott should have no problem making his presence felt. Dallas will likely be without Dez Bryant again, but Dak Prescott has had no trouble finding underneath options like Cole Beasley and Terrance Williams all season long. They’ll be matched up against a Packers defense

As it stands, he’ll probably be less than 100 percent facing Dallas’ 11th-ranked run stoppers. Aaron Rodgers’ numbers are way down this year (Green Bay is ranked a woeful 27th in passing YPG), so the Packers could have a difficult time moving the chains in this one. The Packers look overmatched, yet they are favored in this tilt. That makes Dallas the best bet of the week. The pick: Cowboys +4

Taurus Social gatherings could pair you with someone whom you’ve been very eager to approach. Don’t be hesitant to introduce the reason why you wanted to meet.

Scorpio You’re likely to get an opportunity to cultivate a new friendship. It might even be with someone whom you’ve been anxious to get to know better.

1

Gemini Certain financial or commercial matters can be successfully concluded to your satisfaction if you’re willing to take the time and effort to do so.

Sagittarius A little extra effort where your career is concerned could put you out in front of the pack. Be assertive and conscientious when pursuing your objectives.

4

Cancer Someone older or more experienced might point out a new direction for you. It could be some of the best advice you’ve received in a long time.

Capricorn If you allow a past educational experience to guide you, everything should work out quite beautifully in your dealings with others.

5

Leo You’re in a favorable cycle for profiting from situations initiated by someone else. Be on the alert for anything different that sounds enticing.

Aquarius An involvement where you share a mutual interest with another should work out quite smoothly today in some dealings you have with a person who is very difficult.

Virgo Even if some of your present expectations seem to be a bit outlandish to some of your friends, they really aren’t that farfetched from your perspective.

Pisces The timing could be unusually good for you to make a request of someone who doesn’t readily grant favors.
