NEW YORK. Look both waysbefore you walk in Mid-town. Transportation Alter-natives released a list yes-terday of the most danger-ous neighborhoods forpedestrians. The group an-alyzed New York state De-partment of Motor Vehi-cles data from 1995 to

2009 and found that themost crashes were in Mid-town, with 8,604 pedestri-ans struck in that time pe-riod. In instances where apedestrian was killed by acar, the majority of thosecrashes were caused by thedriver speeding or failingto yield. METRO/AB

Anti-Wall Street protestshave won broad supportamong New York City vot-ers, who would over-whelmingly favor tougherregulations on the finan-cial industry, new poll re-sults showed yesterday.

Sixty-seven percent ofthose who responded to aQuinnipiac University sur-vey said they agreed withthe Occupy Wall Streetprotesters, who are upsetthat banks were allowed toearn huge profits after be-ing bailed out during the

recession, while averageAmericans remained un-der financial strain.

An even wider margin,87 percent, agreed withthe protesters’ right tocamp out in Lower Man-hattan, as long as theyobeyed the law. The move-ment began staging ralliesa month ago.

Support for the protests

was split down party lines,with 81 percent of the De-mocrats saying they backedthem, while only 35 per-cent of Republicans said so.

One Upper West Sideresident said she’d love it ifOccupy Wall Street set up asecond camp in her neigh-borhood.

“I think it’s great — it’s arevolution happening allaround the world,” said Vir-ginia Vale, 25, a FordhamUniversity student. “Thereare a lot of people with alot of money here. A lot of

my friends haven’t been toZuccotti Park, so it’s goodthey might come up here.”

The protests have spreadacross the country andmoved overseas during theweekend. The movement’sfocal point, however, hasbeen New York, whereprotests have been largelypeaceful. Still, less than halfof those surveyed approvedof the way police have han-dled the demonstrations,after several episodes inwhich force has been usedon protesters. REUTERS/METRO

Riders flock to East Riverferries as service drops

Ferries carry double the amount of expected traffic But rides will getfewer starting Nov. 1 City won’t shell out more cash for popular serviceThe East River ferry servicemight be popular, butdon’t expect that means in-creased service.

The ferry boats arebloated with twice asmany riders as officials ex-pected when the servicefirst launched this sum-mer, according to The NewYork Times. Regardless,the city has said they won’tbe shelling out more mon-ey for extra boats. In fact,service is scheduled to be-come less frequent startingnext month.

For example, the LowerHarbor Loop, which shut-tles riders between Gover-nors Island and BrooklynBridge Park, will no longerrun after Nov. 1.

And the city does notplan to boost funds pastthe $3.1 million theyagreed to pay each year asa subsidy for the three-yearcontract. Jennifer Fried-berg, of the city’s Econom-ic Development Corpora-

tion, said the ferries arestill in the pilot stage.

“The boats are not at ca-pacity all the time,” shesaid, adding that extraboats are added on theweekends when needed.

Teddy Creegan, 30,takes the ferry to Manhat-tan from Williamsburg,where he lives. He said hecan usually find a spot tosit, but schedules trips toavoid the crowds.

Still, boats are worth itfor the time saved, saidBrooklynite Casey Miller.

“It would take twice aslong on the L train,” shesaid.

After New Yorkers werecaptivated by a video of aman surfing the outsideof an underground J trainlast week, Metro spoke toan expert on the secret— and dangerous — formof subterranean travel.

Erik, a 28-year-old Flat-bush resident, spent histeen years “surfing” alongon the outside of subwaycars. “It’s about peoplereaching outside of them-selves,” said Erik, who de-clined to give his lastname. “It’s about chasingadrenaline.”

Erik said the best linesto ride are the F and the Bin Brooklyn, because theelevated trains make forbrilliant views.

“Older generations usedto do it a lot more,” hesaid. “It went hand-in-handwith graffiti culture. Therewere crews of people thatused to do it.”

He's never surfed trainsinside tunnels, he said, forfear of smashing into un-

seen obstacles.And Erik is now retired:

He stopped his daredevilhobby after one of hisfriends died while surfinga train in a tunnel.

“He climbed on top ofthe train and he hit abeam,” he said. “He was ina coma in the hospital andthen he passed. I never didit after that.”

He’s worried that thelatest video of a man surf-ing might inspire copycats.

“If there’s one copycatthat hurt themselves, Iwouldn’t be able to dealwith it,” he said. “It’s juststupid.”

The Republican planwould “gut regulations”and “let Wall Street do

’60s-ERAACTIVISTON THIS

CURRENTMOVEMENT

Metro spoke with ToddGitlin, a professor ofjournalism and sociology atColumbia University. Asleader of the Students for aDemocratic Society, Gitlinwas one of the iconic leadersof the 1968 movement.

How do these protestscompare to the 1968movement?The current protests startfrom an inner core of an-archists. It has beenextended by variousorganized groups, liketrade unions. The speed atwhich the protests have

erupted is remarkable. Bycontrast, the 1968 move-ment was founded andled by students, and itwas several years beforethe protests broke out.The 1968ers had a clearideology. Do you see thesame in these protests? Theyseem rather superficial.They’re ideological in thattheir speakers are celebri-ties of the left. It’s rathercurious that an anti-authoritarian revolt relieson outside leaders to thisextent. In the 1968 move-ment, students formedthe ideology — and the

leaders were students. Many of the people inpower today are former1968ers. What has the 1968generation learned from itspath from revolt to power?It’s a path to power, butalso a path to frustration.We reached power, butso did the plutocrats.What we’re seeing now isthe first promising chal-lenge to the power of theplutocrats.Can protesters actuallyachieve anythingsustainable?The protests have rejuve-nated the left.

THEWORDMetro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip @dorothyatmetro [email protected]

So, by now you’veprobably seen thephotos of poor Christi-na Aguilera at the

Michael Jackson tribute con-cert earlier this month. Ifnot, here is one I am regret-tably reprinting for you. (Myfeminist and gossip sidesare at odds again, with theside that gets the paycheckonce again winning.)

Anyway, I think we canall agree she doesn’t lookher best. But girlfriend didjust go through a divorce,and if you listen to the clipof her performance, she ab-solutely killed it — somaybe we should give her apass this time around.

But Kelly Osbourne doesnot agree. Osbourne clearly

hasn’t gotten over the teas-ing she claims to have re-ceived from Aguilera overthe years about her weight,and she’s using her E! show,“Fashion Police,” to getsome payback.

“She called me fat foryears. I was never that fat,”Osbourne commentedwhile showing the unflat-tering Aguilera photos. Herco-host, Joan Rivers, also gotin on the act, adding, “LadyMarmalade got into thepeanut butter again.”

And just when youthought Hollywood wasn’tjust a huge, bizzaro versionof your high school, youread this and realize it verymuch is. But it’s just somuch worse.

Kutcherspotted sansMooreAshton Kutcher stepped outwithout Demi Moore duringthe weekend, making an ap-pearance at the Clinton Foun-dation anniversary concert atthe Hollywood Bowl, accord-ing to Us Weekly. Kutcher,who was on hand to introducea performance by Usher, alsomade mention of the DNAFoundation, the charity hestarted with Moore to combatsex trafficking, though he re-ferred to it as “my DNA Foun-

dation,” a source says. Kutcherappeared to be wearing hiswedding ring at the event, ac-cording to onlookers.

Martin talksabout marriageChris Martin admits that he’sonly really had one serious re-lationship in his life — hismarriage to GwynethPaltrow. “That’s right. I’m init,” he says in an interviewwith CBS. “It’s a giant leap.Let’s face it, it’s like winningthe lottery.” Martin, whorarely speaks openly about hisfamily life, also says his twokids with Paltrow — Apple, 7,and Moses, 5 — have hadquite an impact on his careerwith Coldplay. “It’s made it

more focused,” he says. “Andyou have a purpose. I likewhat it does. Just the idea ofhaving to work hard so yourkids are OK.”

Liz Taylor’smemorial serviceElizabeth Taylor was honoredby friends and family at a me-morial event held on the Warn-er Bros. lot in Burbank, Calif.,during the weekend, accordingto People magazine. Hosted byColin Farrell, the event was at-tended by Taylor’s children,Michael and Christopher Wild-ing, Liza Tivey, Maria Burton,and stepdaughter Kate Burton,as well as friends like MichaelCaine and Elton John, who per-formed at the ceremony. “Tosay that the world got smaller,emptier, darker and lonelierwhen we lost Elizabeth is anunderstatement,” John told thecrowd. “She was a true rock.”

zombies yet. Nice, right? Iwoke up and thought, yeah,that’s probably a logisticalnightmare in cleaning upafter the apocalypse: Who’sgoing to clean out all theplague-infected wretches? Did you have some zombienovels or films that inspiredyou? Do you have anyfavorite post-apocalyptic NewYork novels or films?The inspirations for “ZoneOne” are the horror and sci-ence-fiction movies I de-voured as a kid, specificallythe Romero trilogy, and as-sorted end-times films like“Escape From New York,”“Omega Man,” “The RoadWarrior,” and “Planet of theApes.” If humanity hasmade a big mistake, andeverybody’s dead, it’s in thisbook somehow. You’re a champion tweeter,

with nearly 90,000 followers.Is Twitter a delight ordistraction?Delight. I always did myhomework in front of theTV, grew up trying to sleepthrough police sirens andcar alarms, so I know howto keep the noise out. Dur-ing the day, I write, checkTwitter, eat lunch, watchsome news on the tube —there’s plenty of time for allthe crap I want to do. If Ihad an office job, I’d hangout in the break room allday. Now I have Twitter. When the zombies come,where are you going to hide?Hide? I’m going to get bitfirst thing. Certainly mind-lessness will take the edgeoff my neuroses.

When dogrescueworks bothwaysWhen Julie Klam adoptedOtto, she didn’t realizethat the lovably bug-eyedBoston Terrier was on arescue mission of his own.

“You don’t always getthe dog you want — youget the dog you need. Hewas the impetus for everygood thing that happenedin my life,” says Klam ofthe inspiration behindher first book, “You HadMe at Woof.” “I was singleat the moment. And Ithought: If it’s possible tocompromise myself thismuch for something,maybe I could do thesame for a slightly lesshairy human.”

Now a wife and moth-er, Klam has opened her

home to many otherneedy dogs — and the oc-casional needy dog’s sur-prise puppies — over theyears as a volunteer and

foster parent. Her latestbook, “Love at First Bark:How Saving a Dog CanSometimes Help You SaveYourself,” includes storiesabout her rescue work inboth her New York Cityneighborhood and in NewOrleans after HurricaneKatrina. While poignantand occasionally heart-wrenching in a way thatonly abandoned dogs canbe, it avoids SarahMcLachlan-commercialterritory thanks toKlam’s dry, generoussense of humor.

“Doing rescue has beenso incredibly rewarding tome,” she says. “I find thatwhen something ishappening in my life, mydogs are going throughsome of the same things,too — but then, maybethat’s just because I’mcrazy and I project thingson to my dogs.”

SARAH SHATZ

Even if you’re not agraphic novel afi-cionado, you proba-bly know the work

of Daniel Clowes. A fre-quent contributor to TheNew Yorker and The NewYork Times Magazine,Clowes has written twomovies based on his comicworks, “Ghost World” and“Art School Confidential.”In his latest book, the bold,zesty “The Death-Ray,”Clowes follows a 1970steenager named Andy,who, with a puff of a ciga-rette, discovers his specialpowers. And once Andygets his hands on a specialray-gun, Clowes turns thetraditional superhero storyon its masked head.

A kid who smokes a cigaretteto discover his secret powersis subversive — and brilliant. It seemed like, in a way, themost taboo thing thatcould ever happen in awork of art. If you had amovie where a kid smokesa cigarette, it is less likely itwould be made than if heinjects serum into his armwith a needle or takes blot-ter acid to attain superpowers. Nothing makesyou more of an outcastthan portraying smokingin a positive light. [Laughs] Are you a smoker? No. And I can’t stand to bearound people who smoke.My dad even died of lungcancer. But you can’t saythere isn’t a certain adoles-cent appeal to smoking.And he needed a way to dis-cover his powers. So …What is it about the secret super hero story that’s so attractive to artists? I read superhero comics asa kid and was really attract-ed to the way they looked;the early Marvel comics es-pecially seemed so chargedwith electricity. I readthem until I was 12 or 13 orso and then I lost interest.They suggest this richworld of imagination, but

they never quite live up tothat as you’re readingthem. I just wanted to cre-ate a story that seems tohave some depth and reso-nance but also uses theiconography of the old su-per hero comics. And, sure,I do feel some primal at-traction to that costume-wearing kid in a dark ur-ban environment.

‘Pop!’ goes the‘Death-Ray’“I have a small collection ofsmall toy ray guns, and theone in the book is based onwhat I had as a kid,” saysClowes of the inspiration be-hind Andy’s weapon ofchoice. “I like their sound ef-fect — how something thatcan be so destructive justmakes a little ‘pop’ sound.”

“The Skin I Live In” reunitesAntonio Banderas with thedirector who kick-startedhis career. “With PedroAlmodovar, there is a veryclose relationship since thebeginning of the ’80s,” saysBanderas, who starred infive films for Almodovar be-tween 1982 and 1990. “Thisis almost 30 years, and forme this movie was goingback to my family.”

It’s not that Banderasdidn’t want to return to hisfamily all these years. It’sjust that something always

got in the way: “We’ve hadthe opportunity to work to-gether a couple of times,but I was attached to othermovies so legally I couldn’tget out of those projects inorder to go and make his,”the actor explains.

Since 1990’s “Tie Me Up!Tie Me Down!”, Banderashas become an internation-al star, of course, findingsuccess in Hollywood —though that’s not necessari-ly the path Almodovarwould’ve chosen. “Hewould’ve loved for me to

stay in Spain and play onlyin his movies,” Banderassays with a laugh. “But hehad to understand, at thesame time, because he’s myfriend and I have to do dif-ferent things. He’s reallyhappy that ... I made a ca-reer that was different tothe one that I had there.”

Reteaming with his oldfriend meant the actor hadto do some unlearning —as Almodovar typically in-sists his actors do. It’s a sac-rifice worth making, Ban-deras says.

“Pedro is a genre in him-self,” he says, a hushed rev-erence creeping into hisvoice. “Pedro has beenbreaking the rules of themovies since he startedworking, and the reaction is

always very radical,” headds. “People love themovie and they want to putus on an altar, or they cruci-fy us.”

The reason for that, hesuggests, is that Almodovarmakes films that need timeto reach full resonance,something he’s seen with“The Skin I Live In,” whichhas been playing in Euro-pean theaters for nearlytwo months now. “You needtime to digest and to put to-gether what he’s thrown atyou,” Banderas says. “Itstays there. It makes you re-flect. That doesn’t happenwith mainstream movies.”

‘Back to my family’Antonio Banderas and Pedro Almodovar reunite for the horror film ‘The

Skin I Live In’ ‘Pedro is a genre in himself,’ the star says of his director

Flag, she says she knew itwas right. She already re-spected these three womenfrom their former bands —Brownstein and Weiss werein Sleater-Kinney and Coleplayed with the Minders.

“When they called me toplay with them, I was reallyhappy and excited,” shesays, “because I had thisfeeling that was just goingto allow me to do musicagain.”

myentertainment



When Mary Timony speaksof playing with her band-mates in Wild Flag, she fre-quently uses the word“free.” She talks about hownot singing on every songfrees her up to play moreguitar, how she isn’t boggeddown with complicated gui-tar parts on the songs shedoes sing, and how halfwayinto recording Wild Flag’sself-titled debut, she real-ized that a lot of what shewas singing about was howmuch fun it is to play in aband.

“Basically, every song haslyrics about music, andmaybe having lost musicand coming back to it, orjust needing music in yourlife,” she says.

Timony readily acknowl-

edges that this positivitywas never really a theme forher before, in her formerband Helium or with her so-lo material.

“The lyrics aren’t de-pressing for once,” shelaughs. “For me, how lyricsget written, they describehow the music sounds.”

And the music that led tothese lyrics is indeed farfrom depressing. Timony’sguitar and voice interlock

with those of Carrie Brown-stein. Drummer Janet Weisswails on the kit behindthem, and keyboardist Re-becca Cole fills in the gapswith swells of organ. Arriv-ing at this sense of musicalpositivity was no easy jour-ney for Timony, though.

“I had been doing solorecords for all of my 30s,and the last one I did, I feltsuper burnt out on it,” shesays. “I wasn’t making anymoney off of it, whichmakes it hard to keep doingit because it becomes an ex-pensive hobby.”

Timony gave up playingher own music for a year,instead focusing on her 20guitar students in Washing-ton, D.C. But when the callcame to play with Wild

Mary Timony may be the coolest guitar teacher in the world!

This month, Zac Hansonturns 26. That means Han-son’s youngest member,who was 12 when theMmmboppers first foundfame in 1997, has been fa-mous longer than he hasn’t.

“I didn’t decide to be inthis band consciously until Iwas 15 and our second ma-jor label record was comingout,” Hanson tells Metro. “Itwas just who I was and partof what I did and somethingI’d always done.”

Remarkably, the band ofbrothers surpassed beingone-hit teenybop wonders along time ago. Instead, thetrio carved out a respectedcareer as musicians. Theireighth studio album,“Shout It Out,” was releasedlast winter.

“We are not one-hit won-ders because of a stubbornperseverance to continue todo what we love doing,”says Hanson. “When wewere kids, people would askus stupid questions like,

‘What do you want to dowhen you grow up?’ It wasso frustrating. People, giveme a little respect! I am 12but I’m here working! Wewould always say stuff, itsounded silly at the time,but I would say, ‘Just thinkof us as old guys with reallyhigh voices.’ We knew at

that point that whether wewere playing on a street cor-ner or playing the Holly-wood Bowl, we are going tobe doing this for years andyears and years until we’reold and gray.”

One of the best thingsabout a degree in nutritionis the wide array of careeroptions it gives you, ac-cording to Jule Anne Hen-stenburg, director of theBachelor of Science in Nu-trition program at La SalleUniversity.

“In addition to workingin health care settings likehospitals, our graduates

work in public health jobsfor government or nonprof-it agencies; business careerswith food or pharmaceuti-cal companies; and educa-tion, counseling andjournalism,” Henstenburgreports.

La Salle has the only un-dergraduate program in theregion — and one of only 30in the country — that pre-

pares students to sit for theregistered dietitian exam af-ter completing a bachelor’sdegree. This preparation in-volves 1,200 experientialhours through five intern-ships during senior year.Those not on the RD trackusually take additionalclasses for a minor in busi-ness, education or psycholo-gy during their final year.

“Depending on your ca-reer goals, a bachelor’s [de-gree] can be enough forsome jobs,” Henstenburgsays. “About half of ourgraduates stop there. Therest eventually get a mas-ter’s [degree], whether in

nutrition or in a field likepublic health, business ad-ministration or profession-al communication.”

The La Salle program isextremely popular withcareer changers. Manyfind that their interests in

food, health and fitnesscome together in nutri-tion. “Not a week goes bythat I don’t get inquiries,”Hestenburg says. She’s de-lighted to have theseadults in the program:“Most of them are highlymotivated,” she says.

Nyack College’s Social Work Department Partners with Community

Connections for Youth (CCFY)CCFY is a New-York based nonprofit organization, whose mission is to mobilize indigenous faith and neighborhood organizations to develop effective community-based alternative-to-incarceration programs for youth. CCFY works to increase the local community’s capacity to work with youth in the justice system and identifies the social capital within the local community as a primary asset in improving long-term life outcomes for youth. Nyack College students will examine and interpret specific policies that relate to, or impact adjudicated youth. CCFY will inform the Nyack Col-lege BSW program of its current policy agenda, and students will incorporate policy concerns into advocacy letter and policy brief assignments.

Toward the purposes of utilizing the resources of both the Nyack College BSW pro-gram and community based organizations, the program will also begin to sponsor and/or support on-going policy forums for the purposes of educating and equipping students to work for social transformation and challenge others to do the same.

This collaboration seeks to evaluate the effect of Community Connec-tions for Youth training and assignments on students’ attitudes about juvenile justice policy and commitment to reduce youth incarceration practice. This study will also assess students’ confidence to act and ac-tions that support efforts to reduce youth incarceration practice. Results from the collaboration will examine the change in Nyack social work stu-

dent’s attitudes about juvenile justice policy

“GETTING AHEAD.”

METROPOLITAN COLLEGE OF NEW YORK. WHERE EDUCATION MEETS THE REAL WORLD.

Extending the classroom to the workplace for more than 40 years, Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY) has helped thou-sands of New Yorkers advance their careers and improve their lives. At MCNY, we are committed to helping you achieve your professional goals. Choose from a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs in business, healthcare, management, education, public administration and human services. You can earn your Master’s in as little as one year, Bachelor’s in less than three years and Associate’s in 16 months. And the best part is that you can pursue your degree on a full-time basis, and in most cases while continuing your day job. In the end it is more than a degree – it is respect, experience and a better future!

CONSTRUCTIVE ACTION: A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AND REAL VALUE ADDED!

Metropolitan’s Constructive Action approach to learning integrates your coursework with challenges and opportunities that present themselves at your work or internship setting. For example, Metropolitan College students may develop a business or an emergency evacuation plan. They may oversee implementation of a plan to deliver expanded services to the elderly, or find resources in under-funded schools to help elementary teachers focus on enhanced learning for all students. They take on real challenges and develop real solutions.

That is what makes MCNY so unique. Our students are required to look and see what can be made better, what can be improved – and then take the action. MCNY students make a truly positive impact at their internships or workplaces – and the world.

No matter the industry, MCNY’s approach has universal appeal as a degree designed for adult students. Only here do students apply what they are learning in the classroom to real world applications in the field of their choice. This practical approach to learning is a competitive advantage for MCNY students and the employers that hire them. In fact, more than 65% of MCNY’s undergraduates and 30% of graduate students who are working while earning their degree are promoted before they even graduate. Most of those not working find gainful employment prior to graduation. Because the coursework for our programs is so relevant, nearly all graduates are working in a field directly related to their degree.

Bottom line, you graduate with more than a degree. Your experience and education go hand in hand to add several additional bullet points to your resume. Employers will see they are getting more than just another college graduate with good intentions. Instead, you will have a track record attesting to your capabilities.

FLEXIBILITY AND AFFORDABILITY

At MCNY, schedules are designed to fit around your lifestyle - not interrupt it. You earn while you learn.

We also offer a fixed tuition rate policy, which stays in effect for as long as a student is enrolled in the College. There are no tuition increases. What’s more, the College awarded more than $10 million in scholarships and grant awards in the past year. 90% of our students are eligible. New students can earn recognition awards of $3,000 to $4,500 per year, and transfer students are eligible to receive awards of up to $3,000 per year. MCNY’s financial aid counselors help new students explore all of their financial options and become aware of the many scholarship and grant programs for which they may become eligible.

According to Dr. Vinton Thompson, President of Metropolitan College, “We are dedicated to preparing Metropolitan College students for career advancement sooner, as well as providing them with the opportunity and resources to gain valuable work experience as a part of their studies.”

A new dialysis tech program at BMCC’s Center for Continuing Education and Workforce Development prepares students for a rapidly expanding job area. “The demand for dialysis in this country is growing almost faster than providers can keep up with it,” says Lamar Holland, Lead Instruc-tor for BMCC’s new Hemodialysis Tech pro-gram, and co-owner of Dialysis4Career, School of Hemodialysis on Long Island.

Why is this happening? “People are making di-etary and lifestyle choices that are contributing to a huge health crisis, causing the incidence of diabetes and hypertension to rise dramati-cally,” says Holland. “Twenty million people have kidney failure and don’t know they had a problem,” he added, explaining that kidney disease “moves like molasses,” and often goes undetected until it reaches critical levels.

Hemodialysis: A fast-growing procedure The kidneys remove waste products from the blood and when they cease to function—a life-threatening condition known as “End Stage Renal Disease”—a person’s only alternatives, Holland explains, are a kidney transplant—“but the waiting list is five years for an adult, and 18 months for a child”—or undergoing a procedure known as “hemodialysis,” three to four times a week.

In hemodialysis, a patient’s blood is drawn out through a tube, pumped through a machine called a “dialyser,” then pumped back into the patient’s bloodstream.

In BMCC’s hemodialysis tech training program, students follow a Medicare/Medicaid Services-

recognized curriculum, and practice operating an actual dialysis machine. “They get the theo-ry plus the technical training,” says Holland.

The program is designed for registered nurses and certified nursing assistants, medical assis-tants, phlebotomy and other technicians, as well as individuals with GEDs or high school

diplomas looking to broaden their skills. According to Holland, “the program offer some job placement assistance, and those who qualify are placed in an internship at a dialysis facility.”

Courses prepare for national certificationThis 96-hour program is in the process of being accredited by the American Association

for Critical Care Nurses.

“With BMCC certification students can start working right away,” says Holland, “and have 18 months to take their national certification. Or, they can go straight to the exam—which isn’t possible with any other program, anywhere else in the five boroughs.”

Giants hoping to heal upThe Giants enter their byeweek on a high after fend-ing off the hard-chargingBills on Sunday.

But what really had headcoach Tom Coughlin’s spir-its up is that the Giants mayactually have the services ofa full roster for the firsttime all season when theysquare off against the Dol-phins in two weeks.

“We’re very optimisticthat we can get some play-ers back. It’ll be a nice boost

in the arm,” said the usuallyguarded Coughlin, whothen quickly shifted backinto safe mode. “But I don’tknow exactly when we’llhave each individualcleared, but hopefully we’llbe in a position to be wherethey’ll be able to go.”

Since training campcommenced, the Giantshave been behind the eightball due to injuries.

Coughlin said while he’shappy the Giants weath-

ered the storm, it was diffi-cult juggling lineups dailywhile trying to patch to-gether all three units.

“Each category — of-fense, defense and specialteams — will have to beable to evaluate and en-hance ourselves as we goforward,” Coughlin said.“This week is all about im-provement and taking a bighard look at ourselves, notonly as players but as coach-es.” TONY WILLIAMS

Lester admits tobeer, chickenYes, Fenway Park

clubhouse? Your

beer and fried chick-

en are available for

pickup.

Red Sox starting

pitcher Jon Lester ad-

mitted yesterday

that he, and others,

did drink beer and

eat chicken during

the games.

Lester admitted it

was “a bad habit,”

but said it had noth-

ing to do with the

team’s collapse in

September.

What wentright ...1Revis Island — The Dol-

phins were ready toscore, but on third and

long, quarterback MattMoore locked in on BrandonMarshall as the wide receiverwas tussling with Darrelle Re-

vis in the end zone. The Jets’cornerback read the play per-fectly, making a break on thepass for his second intercep-tion of the season. He cutback across the grain for a100-yard touchdown return.It was a game-changing mo-ment for the Jets, who strug-gled early on offense.

2Sanchez Ground and

Pound — It was the onlypiece of good news

from the offense in the open-ing 30 minutes, but on theirfinal drive of the first half,quarterback Mark Sanchezmarched the Jets 81 yards on11 plays. The final play was afive-yard touchdown run by

Sanchez on a designed quar-terback keeper. Sanchez isnow tied for the team lead inrushing touchdowns withShonn Greene, but Sanchezhas just three red-zonecarries this year. Greene hasfour times that many. The suc-cess on that drive helped keythe offense in the second half.

What wentwrong ...

1For starters — Likethey did last week, andthe week before that,

the Jets’ opening drive wasa three-and-out. A poorly-timed pass play to runningback Shonn Greene, whohas just 28 receptions in histhree year career, wasfollowed by a short gain byGreene. On third and long,Sanchez stayed on his firstread, underthrowing Santo-nio Holmes deep downfield.

2Third and gone — Af-ter emphasizing allweek that they need-

ed to improve on thirddown, they were shockinglypoor to start the game. TheJets started 0-for-4 on thirddown and it wasn’t untiltheir fifth possession thatthe Jets got a fresh set ofdowns. All told, the Jetswere 6-for-15 on thirddown — an improvement,but not where they shouldbe. KRISTIAN DYER

10None moredifferent — The Cardinals

are among the most sto-ried franchises in the bigleagues, with 10 World Se-ries titles. The Rangershave never won one, andhave only played in Texassince 1972 — by whichpoint the Cards alreadyowned 12 NL pennants.

9Texas favorites — Tradition aside, theRangers are rela-

tively heavily favored.They’re going off somewhere around -160,to the Cards’ +140.

8Wild shot — St.Louis is trying to jointhe 2004 Red Sox,

2003 Marlins, 2002 Angelsand 1997 Marlins as theonly wild cards to win theSeries.

7WAR horses —According to Baseball-reference.com’s WAR

statistic, Mike Napoli (5.5

wins above replacement)is the Series’ most valu-able player. Albert Pujols(5.4) is second.

6Start me up — St.Louis’ Chris Carpen-ter (11-9, 3.49 ERA)

and Texas’ C.J. Wilson(16-7, 2.94) are expectedto start Game 1.

5Pitching in — Texas’starters posted anatrocious 6.59 ERA in

the ALCS. The only timean ALCS-winning rotationposted a higher ERA wasthe 1977 Yankees’ 7.25.

4New Bash Brothers?— Texas has achance to become

the first team to win theSeries the year after losingit since the 1989 A’s. ThatOakland team was man-aged by Tony LaRussa —the Cardinals’ boss now.

3Busy in the bullpen— The St. Louisbullpen was only

mediocre in the regular

season, posting a 3.95 ERA.But it excelled in theNLCS, pitching moretotal innings than theCardinals’ starters andputting up a sterling 1.58ERA. The notoriouslymatchup-obsessed LaRussamade a record 28 pitchingchanges, breaking his ownNLCS record.

2Red hot — Relativelyunheralded NLCSMVP David Freese en-

ters the Series on an un-real streak. He’s hit safelyin 10 straight games, withfive doubles, four HRs and14 RBIs in the postseason.ALCS MVP Nelson Cruz,meanwhile, has six playoffdingers.

1Doing without —Both teams are heredespite losing key

members of their rotation.Cliff Lee departed Texas asan offseason free agent,and St. Louis’ AdamWainwright blew out hisright elbow way back inFebruary. METRO

The Rangers are favorites in the World Series.
