Beach is looking for a newspace since her studio, ashared Commercial Streetspace, was flooded by watersfrom nearby Newton Creek— but she is finding it expen-sive.

“Artists have been pricedout of the city,” she lamented.

Employees are working to clean up the Fraunces Tavern Museum.

Soaked costumes, torn paint-ings, ripped-apart sculptures —Hurricane Sandy flooded gal-leries around the city, many sit-uated by the water in neighbor-hoods like Chelsea.

In Red Hook, a studio hosted“Sandy Hates Art,” a damaged-art show last weekend organ-ized after galleries and artists,from Greenpoint to Tribeca,were pummeled by surges ofwater in the storm.

Chelsea art bookstore Print-ed Matter is just one example:they lost 9,000 books fromtheir basement storage, total-ing an estimated $200,000, anemployee said.

The 80-year-old Martha Gra-ham Dance Company had re-cently moved into an almost-new space themselves: the for-mer Merce Cunningham stu-dios on Bethune Street inGreenwich Village.

“We felt incredibly lucky toreceive the space and still do,”Artistic Director Janet Eilbersaid.

But surge waters ripped thedoors out of the walls of their4,000-square-foot basementstorage space, tossed aroundtheir heavy wooden crates

Lower Manhattanslow to recoverThe South Street Seaport Muse-um and the Fraunces TavernMuseum are two LowerManhattan institutions that areunable to reopen since the

storm.Both were fortunate not to

lose any of their collection, kepton the upper floors, but floor-to-ceiling flooding in the lowerlevels knocked out utilities sys-tem.

At Fraunces Tavern, waters

rose to three feet on the firstfloor.

Jerry Gallagher, generalmanager of the South StreetSeaport Museum, said it couldhave been much worse.

Their waterfront director,Captain Jonathan Boulware, as-

sisted by his crew and variousmuseum personnel, spent sev-eral days securing the massiveships kept on the water there.

“Our president, Susan Hen-shaw Jones, was down therepulling lines and tying rope,”Gallagher recounted.

Many of the costumes weretaken to the Fashion Instituteof Technology, where expertsare attempting to restore what

they can, and the SmithsonianInstitute gave them $10,000 tofreeze-dry documents.

Police arrestserial killersuspect, notifyGilgo officialsCops found a dead woman’sbody on the bed of a suspectthey had arrived to arrest, sus-pecting him of being a serialkiller, they said yesterday.

NYPD and Yonkers cops ar-rested Lucius Crawford, 60,Tuesday afternoon and chargedhim with murder.

After his arrest, NYPDspokesman Paul Browne saidthey notified detectives in Suf-folk County, where officers sus-pect a serial killer slayed multi-ple women near Gilgo Beach.

The NYPD detailed the ar-rest yesterday, listing a string ofdecades-old crimes, fromCharleston, S.C., to WhitePlains, N.Y., where they say heslashed and murdered women.

Police say Crawford admit-ted killing Yonkers residentLaronda Shealy, who wasstabbed to death in September1993.

He also admitted killing Nel-la West, 38, in 1993 inRiverdale, cops said. West wasfound stabbed multiple timeswith a crushed skull.

The women, including thebody of a 41-year-old found un-der the sheet on his bedstabbed nine times, had allbeen slashed multiple times.

Crawford was identified as asuspect by running old evi-dence through the DNA data-base, according to police. He

was on parole after serving 13years in prison for stabbing aWestchester woman, cops said.His tracking ankle bracelet hadbeen removed.

A history of violencePolice said Crawford had an“extensive history of violenceagainst women.” Copsreleased a list of encounterswith female strangers, datingfrom 1973 to 1994, detailinga pattern of slashing womenhe approached and tried toengage in conversation.

He was imprisoned in1973 after approaching awoman in Charleston andstabbing her twice in eachleg. He was released threeyears later and stabbed a 28-year-old woman the nextyear. That year, he wassentenced to 24 years inprison after a five-day stab-bing spree. But he wasreleased in 1991 and back injail in 1995 after a convictionfor attempted murder forstabbing a former co-worker13 times. He was released in2008.

Dr. Elizabeth Waterman, apsychologist at Morningside

Recovery Centersin NewportBeach, Calif.,explained toMetro WorldNews what couldbe going on

inside the minds of thebystanders and people whoheard the story.

The photographer for the NewYork Post claims there was 22seconds between when theman fell and when he wascrushed. Would there be anyreason why people wouldn’tstep forward to help him withthe “short” period of time? They were possibly in shockand trying to process the events

that were taking place. Also,the bystander effect ... likelyplayed a role in others not help-ing. For the people that witnessedthe incident, what could theypossibly be going throughpsychologically? Could PTSDhappen from a quick eventlike this? PTSD could occur after witness-ing this incident, but it wouldnot likely set in during the 22seconds and caused people notto act. PTSD symptoms must bepresent for at least one monthafter a trauma for a diagnosis tobe made. Acute stress disorderis diagnosed when symptomsare present for less than onemonth following a traumaticevent.The photographer is beingfaulted for not helping out,and since he is one of the peo-ple who the public knows wasat the scene, it looks like hisname and face is taking thebrunt of the blame. Whatcould he be going throughpsychologically, specifically? It seems as if he was trying tohelp the individual based on hisexplanation; however, I cannotsay for sure. MWN

with ...Family of man hit by Q trainmulls legal action after photo

The family of the man who wasfatally shoved into the path of asubway train has enlisted legalcounsel to investigate the ac-tions taken by the photogra-pher who captured the now-in-famous image of Ki-Suk Hanseconds before he was killed.

The photograph, taken by R.Umar Abbasi, showed Han grip-ping the platform, unable topull himself from the tracks, asa Q train sped toward him atthe 49th Street and Seventh Av-enue subway station Monday.The image was featured on thecover of the New York Post onTuesday with a headline thatread “DOOMED.”

Abbasi, a freelance photog-rapher who was on his wayfrom a separate assignment forthe Post, said he snapped thephotos in an effort to signal the

train conductor to stop with hiscamera flash.

In interviews Wednesday, hesaid he was too far from Han onthe platform to be able to helphim in time. Abbasi also saidmany onlookers were record-ing video and taking photos ontheir cell phones as rescuerspulled Han’s bloodied bodyfrom beneath the train.

Han died from his injuries.“We are in the process of

conducting an investigation asto the actions taken by the Postphotographer and the compa-ny, as well as the action takenby transit authorities,” CharenKim, an attorney representingthe Han family, told Metro.

She added, “We are trying toperform a thorough investiga-tion before deciding on legal ac-tion.”

Naeem Davis, a 30-year-oldhomeless man, was chargedyesterday with murder.

Police picked up Davis near50th Street and Seventh Av-enue, not far from the stationwhere the incident occurred.Davis reportedly confessed inpolice custody Tuesday to push-ing Han and fleeing after hesaw the train hit him.

“They are distraught,shocked, upset,” Kim said ofHan’s widow and daughter.“And they are constantly re-minded by these photos andvideos in graphic detail of theirfather and husband’s death.”

Han’s funeral was scheduledfor last night in Flushing, Kimsaid.

“Call of Duty: Black Ops II,”the latest installment in Ac-tivision Blizzard Inc.’s best-selling video-gamefranchise, topped $1 billionin retail sales within its first15 days of release.

The sales figure, whichrelies on Chart-Track retaildata, means “Call of Duty”reached $1 billion fasterthan the movie “Avatar,” therecord holder for featurefilms, Activision said in astatement. The previous in-stallment in the seriesaccomplished that samefeat last year. It took 16 daysto reach the $1 billion mile-stone, compared with 17 for“Avatar,” which came out in2009. BLOOMBERG

A majority of American voterssupport the legalization of mar-ijuana, with men and youngervoters holding more tolerantpublic views about use of thedrug, according to a QuinnipiacUniversity poll released yester-day.

Voters in Colorado andWashington approved recre-ational use of marijuana lastmonth, making them the firststates in the country to do soeven though use of the drug isstill illegal under federal law.

“With the use of marijuanafor medicinal purposes legal inabout 20 states, and Washing-ton and Colorado voting thisNovember to legalize the drugfor recreational use, Americanvoters seem to have a more fa-vorable opinion about thisonce-dreaded drug,” Quinnipi-ac pollster Peter Brown said.

The public backs legaliza-tion by 51 percent to 44 per-cent, the poll found, but is di-

vided on the issue by age andgender.

Men support legalization by59 percent to 36 percent whilewomen oppose it by 52 percent

to 44 percent. Two-thirds of vot-ers under the age of 29 supportlegalization, while a majority ofvoters over the age of 65 op-pose it.

“It seems likely, however,that given the better than 2-1majority among younger vot-ers, legalization is just a matterof time,” Brown said. It was thefirst time Quinnipiac had con-ducted a survey on marijuanause.

The Quinnipiac poll alsofound voters taking a more fa-vorable view of same-sex mar-riage, supporting it by a narrowmargin of 48 percent to 46 per-cent. In July 2008, voters in thepoll were opposed to same-sexmarriage by 55 percent to 36percent. REUTERS

Forbes unveils list of most influentialWhen it comes to power, poli-tics trumps business, accordingto a new Forbes ranking yester-day that found heads of stateoccupying six of the top 10spots among the world’s mostpowerful people, led by Presi-dent Barack Obama.

The annual list selectedwhat Forbes said were theworld’s 71 most powerful peo-ple from among the roughly7.1 billion global populace,based on factors ranging fromwealth to global influence.

Obama was joined in the top10 by German Chancellor An-gela Merkel, Russian PresidentVladimir Putin, King Abdullahbin Abdulaziz al Saud of SaudiArabia and British Prime Minis-ter David Cameron.

The list’s highest-rankedbusinessman was Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates at No. 4.

U.S. Federal Reserve Chair-man Ben Bernanke and Euro-pean Central Bank PresidentMario Draghi, both public offi-cials, also made the top 10.

“This year’s list reflects thechanging of the guard in theworld’s two most powerfulcountries: the United Statesand China,” Michael Noer,Forbes’ executive editor, toldReuters in an e-mail.

Noer noted that China Presi-dent Hu Jintao, last year’s thirdmost powerful person, fell offthe list as he is leaving power,and his successor, Xi Jinping,

ranked ninth instead.U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim-

othy Geithner and Secretary ofState Hillary Clinton, who havestated they will not be servingin Obama’s second term, were

not in this year’s rankings.While elected and appoint-

ed officials and business peoplemade up the vast majority ofForbes’ most powerful, PopeBenedict XVI placed fifth in therankings.

Among the oddities wasJoaquin Guzman Loera at No.63. Loera, far from a householdname, is a billionaire nick-named “El Chapo” who, ashead of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel,is the world’s most powerfuldrug trafficker, according toForbes.

Forbes noted Zuckerberg fellout of last year’s top 10 afterFacebook’s IPO disappointed. Againer, meanwhile, was Brazil-ian President Dilma Rousseff,who moved up four spots de-spite being only halfway intoher first term. REUTERS

The calculation

To create the rankings, whichForbes readily concedes borea measure of subjectivity, edi-tors graded candidates onfour criteria for power andaveraged the four grades:

Power over many peopleControl over financial andother valuable resourcesPower in multiple spheres orarenasActive use of power

Both sides dig in on fiscal cliffRepublicans and Democratsdug in on “fiscal cliff” talks yes-terday, with both sides urgingquick action but offering nocompromises in a politicalstare-down that shows no signsof breaking.

Less than a month beforethe onset of spending cuts andtax increases that start to takeeffect in January unlessCongress acts, Republican lead-ers in the House of Representa-tives called on President Barack

Obama to initiate face-to-facetalks and blamed him for a lackof action.

“We ask the president to sitdown with us, be serious aboutthe specifics,” House MajorityLeader Eric Cantor said. Cantorlater said the House would re-main in session until “a crediblesolution to the fiscal cliff” hadbeen announced. REUTERS

Congress flies toward cliff, McAfee from BelizeCitigroup sheds 11Kjobs in restructuringCitigroup Inc., which has laggedbehind its peers in recoveringfrom the financial crisis, said it iscutting 11,000 jobs worldwide,about 4 percent of its staff, to saveas much as $1.1 billion a year inexpenses.

The move will initially result inpre-tax charges of $1 billionagainst fourth-quarter earnings,the No. 3 U.S. bank by assets saidyesterday. The cuts are Chief Exec-utive Michael Corbat’s first majorsteps to reorganize the companysince he took the reins in October.Investors welcomed the news.

2THEWORDMetro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip @dorothyatmetro [email protected]

There was a time when LeAnnRimes was world-famous forher talent (right? It’s hard forme to remember that long ago).Now she’s just known for thepetty drama with her long-suf-fering husband, Eddie Cibrian,and his ex, Brandi Glanville.

The latest? Glanville is pro-fessing to a tabloid that shedoesn’t want Rimes around hersons, Mason, 9 and Jake, 5, be-cause, according to her, theymistake her laxatives for candy.

“I, unfortunately, don’t findher to be stable and I don’twant her around my kids whenEddie’s not there — or at leastthe nanny, his parents, some-one,” Glanville says of Rimes to

Us Magazine. “Mason, my eld-est, ate some of Le’s candiesand got extremely ill. And Le’scandies are laxatives. She hasone in every purse. Masonfound one on the floor andthought it was a Skittle! Theydon’t keep sugar in the house,”Glanville explains. “He thoughthe finally found candy.”

You know, you’d think in be-tween learning shapes and col-ors, L.A. preschools would alsoteach life lessons to childrenbeing raised by celebrity par-ents. They could teach the dif-ference between a Skittle and alaxative or the difference be-tween your nanny and yourmother — the list is endless.

Nicks has Stewart’s backStevie Nicks is standing by palKristen Stewart and thinks folksneed to cut her some slack in thewake of her cheating scandalfrom this past summer. “I was herage once, and exactly what hap-pened to her happened to me

two or three times, and whoeverit was that I was with forgave meall two or three times,” Nicks tellsUs Weekly. “The fact is that whenyou’re young and you’ve been ina relationship for a long time andsomething comes along that is alittle bit overwhelming and magi-cal, and you’re kind of in anothersituation with someone else,things happen.”

Muniz suffers mini-stroke

Former “Malcolm in theMiddle” star Frankie Munizshocked fans on Twitter withthe news that he’d suffered astroke just days before his 27thbirthday. “I was in the hospitallast Friday. I suffered a ‘ministroke,’ which was not fun atall,” Muniz posted. “Have tostart taking care of my body!Getting old!” Muniz was takento an emergency room near hisArizona home after friendsnoticed he was having troublespeaking.

Checking in withsome of Hollywood’sbiggest names to seewhat they’ve been upto — in their ownwords, in 140 characters or fewer.

Today, Zachary Quintohas standards, RussellBrand is in need of di-rection, MichelleTrachtenberg is feelingpretty smart and JoanRivers has some betterideas for thegovernment.

@ZacharyQuinto: ifyou are taking pictureswith your iPad: i haveabsolutely no interestin taking our relation-ship any further thanthe picture.

LeAnn Rimes, Eddie Cibrian and his sons.

Talking points

Nicks

Cibrian actually is reasonable inridiculous situation“If my ex-wife truly cared aboutthe welfare of our sons, shewould stop the constant bash-

ing on an important person intheir lives and focus on produc-tive co-parenting to make ourblended family the strongest itcan be,” he says in a statementto Us Weekly. “And she woulddo so privately.”

Rihanna to wed?Anyone who follows Rihanna’sTwitter feed knows that Chris

Brown is definitely back in herlife, but the latest news stillcomes as a shock: She is report-edly planning to marry Brown ina secret ceremony while the pair

are in her native Barbados forthe holidays, per Hollyscoop.One person not thrilled aboutthis? Rihanna’s mom. “She calledRihanna to yell at her, asking

what she’s doing with her life.”Well, if Rihanna is dumb

enough to marry Brown, sheshould probably get used to be-ing yelled at.

Marina: ‘I’m not like them’The Diamonds singer on trying to be a pop star and

getting discouraging phone calls from her manager

Upon the release of her2010 debut LP, “TheFamily Jewels,” it wasimmediately apparent

to anyone paying attention thatMarina Diamandis, aka Marinaand the Diamonds, was a bonafide international pop star inthe making. She had the acro-batic voice, indelible hooks anda crush-worthy look (more onthat in a minute), but there wasa knowingness about the ideaof pop stardom in general em-bedded in her lyrics that madeher appealing to fans who taketheir pop with a dash of irony.On her recent release, “ElectraHeart,” the Welsh singer hasdoubled-down on reaching forthe stars, enlisting the aid ofhit-making songwriters likeDiplo and Dr. Luke.

It’s Dr. Luke’s effort on firstsingle, “How to be a Heart-breaker” that has brought onKaty Perry comparisons, albeitwith qualifiers like “edgier.”

Is that supposed to be taken

as a compliment or an insult? “It’s neither,” says Diaman-

dis. “It’s just not true. The thingis, with Dr. Luke, his style is socemented, I think most peoplewho work with him get hissound. Katy was his first hugesuccess, so it’s obvious I’m com-pared to her. I’m just like, ‘Ohwhatever.’”

Also getting a big whatever

was her label’s decision in Sep-tember to delay the release ofthe “Heartbreaker” video be-cause, well, they didn’t thinkshe looked attractive enough.

She got a call from her man-ager saying the label didn’t likeit, she explains: “‘They thinkyou need some beauty work,’he said. ‘I said, ‘I don’t care ifthey think I’m ugly or not, they

need to give me a budget ifthey want me to look botoxedwithin an inch of my life.’”

Not that she has a problemwith that, she says. “I reallydon’t mind. Everything on thealbum has been in the spirit ofthat plastic pop element.”

A different sort of pop star“Do you know the funnything? I really wanted to beone,” says Diamandis of be-ing a pop star. “Now, afterthis album, even though it’sobviously a pop album, aconcerted effort and a verycalculated move ... I’m stillnot one. I’m not like them,not in a horrible way, notlike Katy or Rihanna or anyof those big pop females.”

It’s not a great mystery whatit means when you sudden-ly stop hearing from some-one you went on a few

dates with. And though this isan acceptable way to endthings, is it really the best idea?

I get the rational opinion:Do you really have to break upwith someone you’ve barelystarted dating? Is it worth theawkwardness? Does he or sheeven want to hear you utteringout some canned “it’s not you,it’s me” speech? And perhapsmost honestly, would ending itofficially (with words) leave younowhere to turn if the pickingsgot even slimmer?

Instead of just slinking outof could-be relationships, Ithink we owe it to each otherto suffer through the process ofgiving an actual rejection — itholds us more accountable forour actions. If someone hasspent time getting to knowyou, you owe them a goodbye.If that goodbye is harder be-cause you led them on a bit orsaw something through to fivedates that never should havemade it to two, then youshould have to deal with it.

While dealing with it, whynot deal honestly? None of this“I’m busy,” “not ready,” “it’sme” crap that everyone knowsis bull anyway. Do the personthe favor of saying (nicely) ex-actly what it is about themwon’t work for you. What ifthis person is making the samemistakes over and over andyour feedback helps him or herland a better-suited someonenext time around?

Yeah, youowe thema real call

Don’t be the person whose idea ofbreaking up is to disappear entirely

Why be honest?We should break up witheach other openly and hon-estly, if for no other reasonthan it’s good practice. Whenyou do finally meet the right

person, you’re going to haveto talk with them about un-comfortable issues, explainyour feelings and sometimessay things that might be up-setting. Since many of us shyaway from confrontation, this

is a great opportunity to facethat fear. And in the worstcase scenario, if the personyou’re ending it with firesback with, “Why are youtelling me all this?” then youcan say “It’s not you, it’s me.”

Hampering boys’natures? That’sbeen done to girlsfor centuriesRE: “I’M A BOY, I’M A BOY! BUTSOCIETY WON’T LET ME ACT LIKEIT” (METRO, DEC. 5) Actually,women and girls have beende-masculinized, too, only ithas been for much longerthan the 1990s, as letterwriter Rob Donner saysmales have been. Femalesneed to run, jump, throw,fend for themselves and, be-lieve it or not, fight. In theanimal kingdom, no femaleanimal just sits and “lookspretty” in a dress like femalehumans have been assignedto do by society. In fact, a lotof people are saying that itis abnormal that girls are“suddenly” fighting likeboys. LUCY MARTINEZ, VIA E-MAIL

Maybe it’s time fora kinder, gentlerworld for boysSorry, Rob Donner, I like itthis way. Thank you, GloriaSteinem.

If you want the old boys,abusive and entitled of oneanother, fine. But I want newboys: full, whole, respectful,fun, strong and ready. If wethink it means to be passive,we aren’t there yet.

But only due to the lackof imagination of adult men.I definitely have what Iwant: a path to owninghealthy masculinity. I chal-lenge you and other men, es-pecially fathers, to demon-strate today to boys whatmanhood is honestly allabout. Shall we discuss whatthat is? CRAIG NORBERG-BOHM, VIA E-MAIL

Racism is just onesmall part ofbigoted behaviorRE: “ALL IDEOLOGICALDIFFERENCES CAN BE CHALKEDUP TO HATE” (METRO, DEC. 4)Racism is not based on “eth-nic, religious, ideological orsocial” differences as letterwriter Nialee Mass states.Racism means hatred or in-tolerance of another race;hence the root word “race,”which is defined as a groupof persons related bycommon heredity, physicalcharacteristics such as skincolor, facial form, eye shape,and/or genetic markers.

What the letter describesis called bigotry or prejudice(which racism is a form of).While someone might arguethis is semantics and doesnot take away from the mes-

sage, I think it is importantto identify things correctlyand by their proper names.

The letter also makessweeping, unsubstantiatedstatements about what“most religious, social and/orethnic groups” and “mostpeople” do or think.

Additionally, the letterstates they do this “now,”implying that the degree ofhuman prejudices was some-how less in past times. NATASHA ASTOR, VIA E-MAIL

Perhaps Victoria’sSecret should staythat wayRE: “BACKSTAGE AT THEVICTORIA’S SECRET SHOW”(METRO, DEC. 4) It is shockinglydistressing that you need touse Victoria’s Secret pornog-raphy to attract “readers” insuch a gross way as is depict-ed in Dec. 4 issue. Many peo-ple are greatly offended bysuch exploitation of women. Ido not wish my daughter tosee smut like that.ANN DUGGAN, VIA E-MAIL

+Here’s a little winter

brew 101 for you: Didyou know that thesespecialty winter beers

were originally created bybrewers to give as a gift to theirgood customers and friendsaround the holidays? Prettysoon they became so popularthat breweries (and their mar-keting and accounting depart-ments) decided it would be agood idea to distribute them toa larger audience.

“Typically, summer beersare expected to be quenching;they are less strong and havehigher notes of flavor and arecrisp and aromatic,” says CraigHartinger, marketing managerat Merchant du Vin, a specialtybeer importer, about the differ-ence between summer and

winter brews.“Winter brews are for when

the weather is cold, so theyhave deep, richer flavors. Theyare the beers you want to curlunder a blanket with.”

So do what the man says:Grab a blanket and read on fora few good partners.

Your winter brew round up

The weather outside might be frightful, but your beer selection doesn’t have to be These seasonals are the perfect partners for the chilly months ahead

GuinnessGenerous AleWinter Selectionvariety packWith a festive red label fes-tooned with gold script,Guinness Generous Alewill match any holidayparty quite nicely. It can befound in their Winter Se-lection Variety along withGuinness’ Draught,Foreign Extra Stout andBlack Lager (three of each).Unlike a traditional Guin-ness, the amber GenerousAle is surprisingly crispand carbonated.

Ayinger’sWeizenbockUsually when you think ofa winter seasonal, youthink of darker beers. Notso with this Weizenbockfrom the German brewery,Ayinger, which has beencranking out brewskiessince 1878.For theirwinterbrew, theyamplified atraditionalwheat beerto make ittaste like awheatbeer onsteroids.

Samuel Smith’s WinterWelcome AleThe Winter Welcome Aleisn’t as thick as you wouldexpect from the notedbrewer’s winter seasonal.In fact, the WinterWelcome Ale is a pretty ac-cessible,balancedbrew withhints ofmalt andcaramelhops.

Newcastle Winter IPAThe limited edition New-castle Winter IPA boasts acopper color with a stronghop aroma, subtle caramelnotes, a full body and a bal-anced finish, staying trueto the traditional charac-teristics found in British-style IPAs. Very balancedand drinkable.

Innis & GunnWinter Beer 2012Innis & Gunn’s WinterBeer was inspired by a19th century-beer recipethat their CEOdiscovered inan old book.Their WinterBeer is heavyon the maltwith hints ofmolasses,fruit andchocolate.

Reggae Christmas Tired of the played out holi-day songs already? Try “Natty& Nice: A Reggae Christmas,”at www.songza.com/discover/culture/christmas/natty-and-nice-a-reggae-christmas-songza.You’ll get “Happy Christmas”by Toots and the Maytals (pic-tured) and classics youalready know, but set toskanking beats.

— Songza is a streamingplatform that mines years of

music history and today’smusic blogs for the best

gems, so you don’t have to.Each week Metro teams up

with Songza to bring you funnew playlists.

Songza Lightened Italian fare: It’s out there!It’s no wonder Kristin Sol-

lenne developed a passionfor food: “I was always inthe kitchen with my par-

ents and my grandparents forbig Italian family dinners,” shesays. But when she noticed herparents gaining weight, she ap-plied the nutritional know-howshe got at California State tohelp them drop some seriouspounds. Her folks’ new healthylifestyle was the kicker sheneeded to move to New Yorkand make a name for herself.As the chef at Bocca di Bacco,which is opening its third loca-tion in the city today, she’s outto prove that Italian food doesnot have to be calorie-dense.

So what’s on the menu?As specials we’ve introducedfresh spinach spaghetti withsundried tomatoes and pinenuts — just a very simple dish. Ihave a chestnut and porciniravioli. We did an eggplant pas-ta. I like introducing things topeople that taste amazing. It’snot that you have to compro-

mise on your taste, and it’shealthier than the traditionalItalian food.What are some foods you’relooking forward to cookingwith this season?Especially around this time Ilove incorporating pumpkin:pumpkin ravioli, pumpkingnocchi. I love butternutsquash for purees and soups.Chestnuts, I love making a real-ly nice pureed sauce withthose. I do a chestnut ravioli. Abig thing for me this winter isdefinitely infused pastas. In-stead of the heavy starches thatthe normal pastas are, why notfill them with spinach or egg-plant, pumpkin or chestnut?We make all of our pastasfresh, homemade, so that’s def-initely something that I alwayslook forward to.Do you have a favorite item on the menu?Oh, I have lots of favorites. Wedo something that’s very rarethat you probably won’t find atany other restaurant: It’s calledour Cavatelli Di Grano Arso,

which is burnt wheat cavatelli.It’s a flour that actually comesfrom Puglia, Italy, and I was in-troduced to it by a colleague ofmine. They don’t distribute itto the U.S., so basically we hadto develop our own way to cre-ate this flour. After several at-tempts, we came up with theperfect combination and wecreated this burnt wheat ca-vatelli. We serve it with a veni-son sausage and a light gravysauce which is absolutely deli-cious. And that I like just be-cause it’s so different. What would you cook toimpress a date?Is he Italian? [Laughs] Just kid-ding. The grilled octopus, thehomemade fettuccine Bolog-nese — you can’t go wrongwith it — and then our pista-chio profiteroles for thedessert. Pistachios I think aregreat for cleansing the palette.It’s a great way to end themeal.

Hot chef

Kristin Sollenne is the chefat all three Bocca di Baccolocations in the city,including the newest, at 169Ninth Ave. (212-989-8400).

At the market

What should home cooks bepicking up at the farmersmarket this winter?

I would definitely say butter-nut squash — you can do somuch with that and incorpo-rate it into a lot of differentdishes. You can always pick upgreat spinach. I’ve noticedmore people have brought upkale, which is interesting be-cause that’s kind of somethingnew. Fresh pumpkin, you cando so much with that this timeof year, I would definitely sayeggplant — all these greatvegetables that you can use inso many different forms.

MEREDITH [email protected]

“My philosophy is keep it simple. Whenyou go to the farmers market and you usefresh produce, you don’t really have to domuch to make the flavors — they speakfor themselves.” SOLLENNE

The Yankees alsolost out on JeffKeppinger, whosigned with the WhiteSox for three yearsand $12 million. NewYork is still reportedlytalking to former Soxstar Kevin Youkilis.

Ryan stickswith Sanchezagainst JagsJets head coach Rex Ryanconfirmed what most al-ready suspected was com-ing. Mark Sanchez willstart this Sunday in Jack-sonville.

“When I looked ateverything, the biggestthing I kept coming backto is what I mentioned be-fore. Who gives us thebest opportunity to win,in particular this week?When I kept coming backto that, I believe the cor-rect answer is MarkSanchez,” Ryan said.“With that being said, Iunderstand that he has toplay better. He has to pro-tect the ball better.”

Ryan said Tim Tebowwould be the No. 2 quar-terback, as long as he ishealthy. He’ll make thatdecision based on practicethis week. METRO/KD

Sanchez will be ona short leash as starter.

Richard Todd can sit inhis office at J.P. Morganin Atlanta today, re-membering the time he

was embroiled in a quarterbackcontroversy with the Jets. Todd,now 59, was the Jets’ first-round pick in the 1976 NFLDraft and the man tabbed asJoe Namath’s heir apparent.

It didn’t work out. But hewas in a position not unlikeMark Sanchez is today — a first-round pick currently flirting

with being a bust.“That’s all I’ve heard my

whole life — how hard it was tofollow Joe Namath,” Todd toldMetro this week. “Coming toNew York and playing with Joewas unbelievable, and I would

not trade that experience foranything. I am sure Mark, com-ing in from USC, did not feelthe pressure of following [BrettFavre]. That is more of a mediainfatuation than players’thoughts or concerns. Joe was aNew York quarterback; Favrewas a hired gun.”

Sanchez’s struggles this yearare well documented. He wasbenched for Greg McElroy, agraduate of Alabama like Todd,against Arizona. But Todd sup-

ports the man in much thesame position he was 30 yearsago.

“Expectations are alwayshigh in professional footballand more so in New York. Markis the same quarterback as hewas two years ago,” Todd said.“All I hear is he has regressed.My comment to that is I thinkthe team has regressed also.”

the Jets from 1976-83. Hethrew 110 touch-downsand 138 interceptions.

NHL lockoutlingers on The season has not beensaved. But the prospect ofnuclear winter is not up-on the NHL.

The league and theNHLPA engaged in contin-ued meetings yesterday inan attempt to end thenow 81-day-long lockout,including a proposal theplayers presented to theleague after a Board ofGovernors meeting.

“They’re talking andthat’s the most importantthing. As long as you keeptalking, there has to besubstance,” Devils GM LouLamoriello said. “I’vealways been hopefulthere’d be a season untilthere isn’t. We just haveto leave it in the hands ofthe people that aretalking.” DENIS GORMAN

In the news Giants turn focus toSaints after bad lossThe Giants have no time tosulk over their Monday nightloss to division rival Washing-ton, because their remainingschedule is brutal — includingSunday’s matchup with thedesperate Saints.

“I’m just looking at it onegame at a time, [and] the onethat’s right in front of you is aNew Orleans team that has bat-tled and played very well oflate. That’s what we’ll focuson,” said Coughlin. “We go inknowing full well it’s a four-game season and we have towin, literally, every one of ourgames. That’s how I look at it.… Win the games that are pre-sented.”

The Saints have always pre-sented a problem under Cough-lin’s watch, but those historic

Big Blue meltdowns were inthe comfy confines of New Or-leans’ Superdome. Now thatthe Giants get the Saints infrigid MetLife Stadium, Cough-lin hopes they can start theircustomary late-season run.

“I certainly think we will[play with urgency], and I hopewe will, so I don’t know whywe wouldn’t,” Coughlin said.

Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul thinks Monday’s loss willbe extra incentive for the Gi-ants, as it’s their custom to ral-ly from within when times gettough.

“We’ve been saying let’s justgo out there and play like ateam that’s the underdogs,”Pierre-Paul said. “That’s basical-ly what we can do.”

NFL news

New Ballard Over the last six weeks, VickBallard has quietly gotten14.6 touches per game.That number is about to goup. Donald Brown sprainedhis ankle last week and hasbeen ruled out of Week 14.

The idea that we should start acertain player because he led usto this point is silly. Althoughthis week has moreimportance, it’s completely in-dependent of prior weeks.

Trending up At this point in the season,strange things start to happen.Hurt players on bad teams sitout longer and coaches use thefinal four games to evaluateyoung talent. We need to get

on board early with the BryceBrown and Danario Alexandertypes. Kenny Britt and JaredCook are prime candidates totake advantage of theirsituation. Marcedes Lewis isemerging in Jacksonville. PierreGarcon is healthy and showingdifference-making ability.

Trending downWe can’t keep going back toguys that have gone in thetank. Brandon Lloydhasn’t topped 45 yards sinceWeek 6. Ryan Mathews doesn’thave his coach’s trust. We canfind tight ends more involvedin their team’s game plan thanVernon Davis. We don’t have todance with the big names.

Somehow, the old saying “dance with thegirl you brought” got tied into fantasy football.

Don’t stick with Vernon Davis just because he’s been your starting tight end all year.
