Knicks fans’ rallying cries
Demand
a pink slip

Knicks fans angry over
the team’s losing streak rallied
outside Madison
Square Garden yesterday,
holding aloft a giant pink
slip and calling on Garden
management to fire coach
Isiah Thomas.
Chanting “Fire Isiah! He’s

Among the

Knicks management
for ordering a fan with a
“Fire Isiah” sign to leave his
seat at a game Monday
night.
“The Knicks are trampling
on what New York is
all about — we’re outspoken
and we’re zany at times,”
Siegel said. “But principles
and values of free speech
should be adopted.”

Coach develops rep as among most reviled
By Ryan Chatelain
ryan.chatelain@am-ny.com
In the waning moments
of a loss in November 2006,
boisterous Knicks fans began
to chant: “Fire
Thomas!”
It was Isiah Thomas’ first
home game as Knicks
coach.
More than a year later,
not only have those calls
for Thomas’ job not subsided,
they’ve festered into
a rallying cry from frustrated
fans, some of whom
marched on Madison
Square Garden yesterday
morning carrying a large
Kennedy Airport beginning in
March.

will be appointed to oversee efforts
to reduce delays.

coach’s name on it.
Thomas’ unpopularity
in the Big Apple has
reached historic proportions,
say Knicks observers.
He’s the most reviled New
York coach since Rich
Kotite led the Jets to four
wins over two seasons in
the mid-’90s, said Michael
Kurylo, who runs
KnickerBlogger.net.
“A lot of fans are voicing
their displeasure, and it
seems to be everywhere,
not just the people who
show up at the Garden and
then watch a losing game,”
Kurylo said. “There seems
to be a lot of people who
have just turned their back
on the team.”
As was exhibited on that
November 2006 night at
the Garden, Thomas was
not awarded the customary
honeymoon period that
most fans grant new coaches.
By that time Thomas already
had a history with
the team, as president of
basketball operations since
2003. But despite handpicking
players, he is well

some kind of similar caps will also

“He obviously knows
the game,” said Bill Mazer,
who has covered New York
sports since 1964 and hosts
a radio show on WVOX.
“But you can’t make chicken
salad out of chicken
feathers.”
Mazer said he couldn’t
remember any New York
sports coach being as detested
by fans as Thomas is.
“He should be fired,” said
fan Jeffrey Kasakyan, 17, of
Queens, who stood outside
the Garden yesterday.

By David Freedlander

Columbia University’s expansion
into West Harlem
cleared its largest hurdle
yesterday by sailing through
the City Council despite accusations
of backroom dealings
and a rushed vote.
“When is the City Council
and the mayor going to
realize they are responsible
to the people of this city and
not the institutions?” asked
Councilman Tony Avella (D-
Bayside) chair of the zoning
committee. “If the revolution
has to start today then
we are going to start it.”
The proposal easily
passed the zoning and landuse
committees yesterday,
before receiving final approval
before the full council,
on a 35-5 vote with six
abstentions. Opponents of
the plan as well as several
councilmembers were
caught off guard by the timing
of the vote, which hadn’t
been expected until January.

The rise to power of

Al-Qaida has invited
journalists to send questions
to its No. 2 figure Ayman

time the terror network has
offered an “interview” with
one of its top leaders since
the 9/11.
The invitation — issued
by Al-Sahab, the group’s
media arm on an Islamic
militant Web site — is the
latest in al-Qaida’s increasingly
sophisticated efforts to
get out its message. Al-Sahab
has dramatically increased
the number of messages
it has issued this year,
and its videos have shown
more complex production.
The statement, first
posted Sunday, invites “individuals,
agencies and all
media” to submit written
questions for al-Zawahri
by sending them to the Islamic
forums where Al-Sahab
traditionally posts its
messages.
Al-Sahab asked the forums
to send the questions
“by the letter, with no
changes or substitutions,
no matter whether they
agree or disagree (with the
question).” (AP)

Putin wins

Named Time person of year
Time magazine yesterday
named Russian President
Vladimir Putin its 2007
“Person of the Year.”
The nod went to the Russian
leader because of Putin’s
“extraordinary feat of leadership
in taking a country
that was in chaos and
bringing it stability,”
said Richard Stengel,
Time’s managing editor.
Putin, 55, is enormously
popular in
Russia, presiding over Putin
a resurgent economy
flush with revenue from oil
and natural gas. But critics
say he has moved the country
away from Russia’s democratic
reforms of the 1990s
by tightening control of the
media, courts and parliament.

“He’s the new czar of Russia
and he’s dangerous in
the sense that he doesn’t
care about civil liberties; he
doesn’t care about free
speech,” Stengel said.
Putin recently endorsed
protege Dmitry Medvedev’s
presidential bid, and
later said he would
accept Medvedev’s
offer to serve as
prime minister if
Medvedev is elected
in the March 2 election.
Many believe
Putin would remain Russia’s
real leader, regardless
of his title, though Putin has
said he would not undermine
his successor. The

NYC real estate: Europe’s cup of tea
Weak dollar
breeds big
foreign sales
By Jacqui Gal
Special to amNew York
You’ve heard their accents
on the street and in
stores, especially since the
pound and the euro began
gaining serious ground on
the dollar early this year.
But are Europeans here to
stay?
Premium prices in London
and other European
capitals, coupled with a
sinking dollar, has made the
New York property market
very tempting to buyers
from abroad.
“There’s something about
having your own apartment
in New York City,” says Jeffrey

square foot. That same property
in London would be
well over $6,000 a square
foot. You look at those numbers
and relate them to our
market, comparatively, it
looks inexpensive.”
In addition to remote investments,
there is also an
emerging trend for foreigners
working in New York escaping
the rental market
with a mortgage deposit.
London-born Olivia
Blechner, a 25-year-old executive
assistant at a private
equity group, has been living
in New York for three years.
“The rental market is really
difficult
to cope
with,” she
says. “I was
shocked at
the rate at
which my
rent was going
up; it
made me want to invest my
money more wisely. The
weakening dollar was the
motivation that sparked my
interest — it was definitely
the trigger.”
Blechner began looking
for a apartment eight
months ago, but says she
has been delighted to watch

rate has become
more and more favorable.
“Buyers from U.K. are
more incentivized [than
buyers on the Euro] because
the pound is two to one,”
says Miller. “They’re looking

it as an undervalued asset
compared to theirs.”
However, there are fur-

buyers still have an

Schleider. “They know they
might move back and don’t
want to have to deal with
the co-op boards if they
want to rent it out or sell it.
“They look for specific
types of apartments and specific
types of brokers who
know how to navigate that.”

Latifah to shill
for Craig
For those who have tired of Kirstie
Alley and Valerie Bertinelli’s perky
Jenny Craig TV spots, the popular
weight-loss company has signed
up a new spokeswoman they
hope will take their image in a
new direction: Queen Latifah.
Scott Parker, Jenny Craig’s
vice president of marketing,
tells People magazine the new
campaign is focused on “a
healthier lifestyle, not on
getting onto a specific dress
size,” he says. “[Specifically],
how small lifestyle
changes, in the areas of diet
and exercise, can have positive
effects on overall health.”
Latifah, who has long been a champion
for healthy body image, will start
with the company in January.
Given Tuesday’s shocking announcement of 16year-old
Jamie Lynn Spears’ pregnancy, it appears
now more than ever, a fertile fervor is sweeping
through young Hollywood. Current mothers-to-be include
Nicole Richie, 26, Christina Aguilera, 27, Jessica
Alba, 26, British singer Lily Allen, 22, and Spears.
We’re not ones to judge, nor are we old-fashioned when it comes to such
things, but what is going on? Of the five young ladies mentioned, Spears’
announcement is the most disturbing. (By comparison, constantly
troubled sister, Britney, was 23 and married when she had her first
child). Richie’s and Allen’s revelations have also raised some eyebrows,
however, given the expectant mothers’ rumored history of
drug abuse.
To be fair, Aguilera has been happily married to husband Jordan
Bratman since November ’05 and Alba has been with boyfriend Cash
Warren since ’04, but the last time we checked, Trojan and Durex are still
very much in business and readily available.
Did you know?
■ Spears’ mom, Lynne, was originally planning to release a parenting book: “Pop Culture Mom:
A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World,” in time for Mother’s Day ’08, but her publisher,
Christian book publisher Thomas Nelson Inc., announced yesterday that the book has been
put on hold “indefinitely.”

■ PROFILE: JUDAH FRIEDLANDER
By Ed Condran
Special to amNewYork
Judah Friedlander demands
your attention.
There’s nothing that irritates
the comic more than folks
who drift or focus on something
other than his material
during his shows.
“I’ll rip them for doing
something like texting,”
Friedlander says.
Concentration isn’t only
required at Friedlander’s
stand-up. It’s also necessary
to enjoy his quirky, fastpaced
sitcom, “30 Rock.”
“The basic problem with
a show like ours is that you
have to really watch what’s
going on,” Friedlander says
on the phone from his Manhattan
apartment. “When
you watch ‘30 Rock,’ you
can’t be on the phone, you
can’t be on the computer
working on your MySpace
page and messaging people.
There are lots of jokes on the
show.”
Friedlander, who plays
Frank, one of the writers, is
crazy about working with
Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan and
Alec Baldwin.
“I love Tina Fey,” Friedlander
says. “She’s an incredible
writer, who is also
great in front of the camera.
Tina has such a great ear for
how people talk.
“Tracy is a lot like the
character you see. He’s hilar-

ious. Alec Baldwin is awesome.
I can’t say enough
good things about him.”
Has Baldwin, who made
tabloid headlines for trashing
his daughter, ever
chewed out Friedlander?
“Not at all. He’s been
nothing but nice to me,”
Friedlander says. “Everybody
gets mad at their kids.
If you’re a celebrity, you

have to be perfect and that’s
not right. Alec Baldwin,
though, is a great, great guy.”
If “30 Rock” were cancelled,
Friedlander is ready
to go back to stand-up fulltime.
“Doing comedy from
the stage is my favorite thing
to do anyway,” he says. “I
like to act, but stand-up has
always been my thing. Being
in ‘30 Rock,’ though,

helps give you exposure.”
One thing that’s gotten
noticed from that exposure
is Friedlander’s goofy selfmade
caps.
“People are always fascinated
with the hats,” Friedlander
says. “I come up with
the sayings on them and
love to make the hats. You’ll
probably see three different
caps in an episode.”
The caps are part of Friedlander’s
act. His “world
champion” is maybe the
most notorious.
“People always want to
know what I’m the world
champion of,” Friedlander
says. “I’m the world champion
of any sport in the
world. I’m the world champion
of bowling and javelin
throwing. They won’t let me
throw a javelin anymore because
once I hit an airplane.
... Since I can’t throw a
javelin, I have more time for
comedy.”

■ MUSIC: A Twisted
Christmas with
Twisted Sister
Wanna rock? The
grotesquely glam hard
rockers Twisted Sister
have lately staked out a
niche as an ironic hairmetal
band for the holidays,
as evidenced by
their “A Twisted
Christmas” CD release
last year. Accompanying
the band’s usual spectacular
visual feast will be a
wealth of yuletide classics
given the Twisted treatment,
including the hilariously
inappropriate “Oh
Come All Ye Faithful” and
their heavy-metal version
of “The Twelve Days of
Christmas.” All together
now: “Five skull-head
rings …” (8pm, $41,
Fillmore New York at
Irving Plaza, 17 Irving
Place, 212-307-7171)

You survived the count

2007’s best food fights
By Rebecca Flint Marx
Metromix.com
When it comes to restaurant
smackdowns, foodies
had lots to eat up in2007. A
lawsuit, an arrest and an
East Village noodle war
were but three of the dramas
played out in the media. Below,
we list the year’s best
restaurant feuds.
Jeffrey Chodorow vs.
Frank Bruni
In early February, New
York Times food critic Frank
Bruni no-starred Jeffrey
Chodorow’s Kobe Club, disparaging
both its food and
decor. Chodorow wasted no
time in taking out a full-page
ad in the Times that took on
Bruni and the section’s editor,
Pete Wells. The ad
blamed the Times and other
critics for the failure of his
previous restaurants.
Things were quiet until
early April, when Bruni bestowed
one measly star upon
Chodorow’s latest venture,
Wild Salmon. The Chod took
exception to the review,
which decried the absence of
a chocolate penguin atop the
baked Alaska. He responded
with yet another full-page
Times ad, assuring “Frank”
that the “penguin has returned
to the South Pole

Earlier this month, Jeffrey Chodorow announced the closing of his new
restaurant Wild Salmon. (Kristy May)
where it belongs.” The struggle
ended in early December,
when Chodorow’s camp announced
that the restaurant
would close by year’s end.
Jason Neroni vs.
Porchetta
On Brooklyn’s Smith
Street, the unassuming
Porchetta also began 2007
with a Bruni review. While
Bruni gave the restaurant
one star, he professed admiration
for the chef, 30-yearold
Jason Neroni. Neroni,
formerly of 71 Clinton Fresh
Food, was known for his

creative cooking, and
Bruni’s review proved lucrative
for business until
early April, when Neroni
departed, citing “irreconcilable
differences.”
A week later, the restaurant
gossip blog Eater published
a letter from
Porchetta owner Marco
Riviero, claiming that the
chef was fired for a “misappropriation
of funds”
and that a warrant was out
for his arrest. Neroni hired
a lawyer, and was charged
with petty larceny.
Things quieted down
until September, when
Neroni was named the consulting
chef at Cantina.
Two months later, word
surfaced that the chef was
leaving Cantina to take over
at 10 Downing. Porchetta,
meanwhile, closed.

Pearl Oyster Bar vs.
Ed’s Lobster Bar
In late June, Rebecca
Charles, the chef-owner of
Pearl Oyster Bar filed suit
against her former souschef,
Ed McFarland, for allegedly
stealing the concept,
menu and overall
look of Pearl for his recently
opened restaurant, Ed’s
Lobster Bar. Charles
claimed that 31 of the 34
dishes on McFarland’s
menu were exact duplicates
of those at Pearl. Mc-
Farland responded, saying,
“It’s a similar restaurant.
I would not say it’s a
copy.” Who was right continues
to be contested, but
one thing is certain: Lower
Manhattan does not need
any more lobster rolls.

If hunger hits while you’re
checking out the sights at
Rockefeller Center, it’s reassuring
to know that lunch
can be steps away. Across the
street is Saks Fifth Avenue,
where an elevator will whisk
you up to Cafe SFA.
After coming upon a pair
of Christian Louboutin
pumps at the nearby shoe
store that cost nearly $1,600,
it came as no surprise to
find that the cafe’s tuna salad
sandwich went for $16.
The consolation was that
at least it was a good sandwich,
the filling made with
red onion, celery and just
the right amount of mayo.
But while the restaurant’s
signature corn-and-Maryland-crab
chowder was rich
and savory, its creaminess

The Cafe SFA is a swank (if pricey) eatery in Sak’s Fifth
Avenue. (Mayita Mendez/Newsday)
A flawed, though
enjoyable time
soon became cloying.
I wasn’t impressed with
the Saks Fifth Avenue salad,
described as an interpretation
of a classic Cobb. The
addition of green peas and
croutons did nothing for the
mix of field greens, bacon,
Bleu cheese, avocado, tomato,
hard-cooked egg and
chicken, served with a tootart
red wine vinaigrette.
What did excite me was a
large Peekytoe crab cake, a
moist amalgam of crab meat
and spice served with a
perky celery root salad and
remoulade.
While service could have
been more timely, it was, at
least, friendly and accommodating.
Like the Big Apple itself,
lunch at this department
store restaurant may not be
perfect, but it does have an
appeal all its own.

Obese wait for organs
Very obese people who
need a kidney transplant are
far less likely to get one than
normal-weight people, and
when they do, their wait is
an average of a year to 18
months longer, a new study
found.
The reason seems to be
both economic and medical.
Very obese people have a
greater risk for complications,
and the transplant
centers often must bear the
additional cost of treating
those problems.
The study showed that
morbidly obese patients —
those who average about 100
pounds over their ideal
weight — were 44 percent
less likely to get a transplant
than normal weight patients.
Those just slightly less obese
were 28 percent less likely to
get a transplant, the researchers
found. (AP)
A way around the smoking ban?

The Associated Press
Troubling cases in which
doctors were accused of
botching operations while
undergoing treatment for
drugs or alcohol have led to
criticism of rehab programs
that allow thousands of
U.S. physicians to keep
their addictions hidden
from their patients.
Nearly all states have confidential
rehab programs
that let doctors continue
practicing as long as they
stick with the treatment regimen.
Nationwide, as many
as 8,000 doctors may be in
such programs.
These arrangements largely
escaped public scrutiny
until last summer, when
California’s medical board
outraged physicians across
the country by abolishing
its program, which will end
Jan. 30. A review concluded
that the system failed to protect
patients or help addicted
doctors.
Opponents of such programs
say the medical establishment
uses confidential
treatment to protect dangerous
physicians.
“Patients have no way to
protect themselves from
these doctors,” said Julie
Fellmeth, who heads the
University of San Diego’s
Center for Public Interest
Law and led the opposition
to California’s so-called
diversion program.
Most addiction specialists
favor allowing doctors
to continue practicing while

Did you know?
■ Between 10 percent and
15 percent of physicians
nationwide will have a
substance abuse problem
at some point in their
lives, according to widespread
estimates.
■ An estimated 7,500 to
8,000 practicing doctors
are probably in confidential
treatment, said Dr.
Greg Skipper, head of
Alabama’s program and a
leader of an upcoming
study on the issue.
in confidential treatment, as
does the American Medical
Association.
Supporters of such programs
say that cases in
which patients are harmed
by doctors in treatment are
extremely rare, and would
pale next to the havoc that
could result if physicians
had no such option.
“If you don’t have confidential
participation, you
don’t get people into the program,”
said Sandra Bressler,
the California Medical Association’s
senior director for
medical board affairs.

HELL’S KITCHEN: BREWERIES WERE PLENTIFUL IN AREA DURING PROHIBITION
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2007
By Miranda Siegel
Special to amNewYork
They’ve tried calling it Clinton.
They’ve tried calling it Midtown
West, or even Times Square West.
They’ve tried to call it something
other than Hell’s Kitchen, but it’s
never stuck.
While the origins of its name are
unclear — some theorize it came
from the name of a German restaurant
in the area, Heil’s Kitchen,
and others say it came from the
mouth of angry policeman witnessing
a riot — the neighborhood
was for many years known as one
of New York’s biggest slums.
The prominent gang activity,
particularly the conflicts among
the Irish, Puerto Ricans and Italians
who lived in Hell’s Kitchen in
the 1950s, provided inspiration for

Times Square; along the river are sightseeing

Sizzling in Hell’s Kitchen
Hell’s Kitchen is defined by the
Hudson River to the west, Eighth
Avenue to the east, West 57th
Street to the north and West 34th
Street to the south.
In the last few decades, Hell’s
Kitchen has turned around. It’s
now characterized by numerous
restaurants, a varied nightlife and
a thriving gay community, fostered
by its proximity to New York’s major
transportation hubs as well as
the offices of midtown.
“The area’s cleaned up a lot,”
said Avron Hyams, who grew up
in Hell’s Kitchen. “Ninth Avenue,
for example, used to be really quite
sleazy and rundown. It’s only in
the last five or 10 years that it’s become
such a happening strip.”
browse. The empty stretch of space is a
perfect spot for the flea market, which
claims a few blocks every Saturday and
Sunday year-round. Look for the giant
inflated Hell’s Kitchen “devil” at the
entrance.

Tenements define much of
Hell’s Kitchen. (Jason Kempin)
“It’s wonderful to see Hell’s Kitchen
becoming such a vibrant and
dynamic area,” said Gabriel Bedoya,
vice president at Corcoran Real
Estate Group .
Bedoya says the proximity of Hell’s
Kitchen to Chelsea and the Upper
West Side has helped lead to an
increase in its popularity.
Though many new condos are
sprouting up where zoning allows,
the area retains its feel through the
preservation of its tenements.

Q&A
with
Avron Hyams
Hyams, who works in
media investment, grew
up in Hell’s Kitchen and
returned not so long ago.
Are there any “hidden
gems” in the area?
Not in the true sense —
there’s a
lot of traffic
here
and not a
lot of tiny
streets
where
Hyams
places
can hide.
My
favorite place is Thai
Basil on 56th and Ninth
… it’s inexpensive and
the food’s really good. I
also like Afghan Kebab
House on Ninth Avenue
between 51st and 52nd
Streets.
What’s been a factor
of change in the area?
The Time Warner Center,
for one. There’s
loads of high-quality
stores there, a Whole
Foods — it really lifted
up and revitalized the
area.
What’s the worst
thing about Hell’s
Kitchen?
Rents — especially
since the Time Warner
Center was built —
have gotten really high,
and it’s kept a lot of
younger people out.
Are there parts of the
neighborhood that
have yet to change?
I rarely venture beyond
Ninth Avenue; it’s still
quite desolate and
there’s nothing really
pulling me there. But I
recall ages ago that
Trump said he was
planning on rejuvenating
[the area.]
The buzz
San Francisco-based
Kimpton Hotels announced
last June that they are planning
to build a hotel, called
the VU, on 48th Street and
11th Avenue — far from any
other hotel in the area.
They claim that the area’s
renaissance, as evidenced
by the proliferation of clubs
and restaurants, will eventually
make the area a desirable
place to visit.
If the hotel is successful,
others like it could start
popping up in Hell’s Kitchen,
especially beyond Tenth
Avenue.
Hayashi Ya Japanese Restaurant is part of the area’s thriving dining scene.
To eat
When it comes to food, Hell’s
Kitchen really is just one big
kitchen — the area boasts an
extraordinarily high density of
eateries of all sorts, including
some of the most diverse ethnic
cuisines crammed into a 20block
span.
Ariana
Check out that big neon sign
shaped like Afghanistan in the
front window — Ariana is one of
only a handful of Afghan restaurants
in New York, and it certainly
holds its own. Aromatic lamb
platters and tender chicken
kebabs are obvious choices, but

Keep the complaints coming
Re Mary Vamvoukakis’ letter, “NYC: Pay more
get less,” Dec 18: I was reading this letter in am-
NewYork on Tuesday about the hour and 45 minutes
it took a woman to get across town while I
was on a crowded bus crawling down Lexington
Avenue because the No. 6 train was not running
in the middle of rush hour, once again. I urge
every New Yorker to complain every single time
you are delayed/inconvenienced. Go on the MTA
Web site and also write to the mayor. It is outrageous
that we pay more for increasingly horrendous
service. My rent just increased and now
they want to up my MetroCard? What will it take
to wake these people — a mass exodus of fed up
non-millionaire New Yorkers?
Teresa D’Amico, Manhattan
Toll proposal not surprising
I am not at all surprised that the congestion pricing
commission is now proposing tolling the
East River bridges, as I suspected that was the
plan all along. Recall how the MTA proposes
horrendous fare increases and then approves
much more modest increases to make people
feel they have not been totally beaten up. Congestion
would end tomorrow if all the “free parking”
placards of government workers were taken
away. Of course, no one is proposing that because
it would not allow for any tax.
John Ost, Manhattan
Carriage horse ban is deadly
Councilman Tony Avella’s bill to ban the carriage
horses in Manhattan is actually condemning
these beautiful animals to death. If the horses
are banned, will they be put out to pasture? Of
course not. The truth is these healthy working
horses were originally bought at auction, which
saved them from ending up as dog food or some
other “product.” If this ban is enacted, they will
be back on the auction block, which is a lot more
dangerous for these horses than working in New
York City.

Your horoscope
By Linda Black
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
Dec. 20 • Abundance is always yours because of your positive
frame of mind. This year, you’ll also have the tangible,
spendable kind. Don’t feel guilty; you earned it.
Aries (March 21-April 19) The
07 money’s pouring in, but don’t
let it pour out just as quickly. Friends
you didn’t even know you had will be
over, looking for handouts. Take care.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
07 You’re getting luckier. It’s getting
easier to see the big picture instead
of being hung up in the little
details. The view may not be perfect
yet, but be patient.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) All of
06 a sudden, you remember lots
of tasks as yet unfinished. Don’t panic,
some of those items on your “todo”
lists were just frills. You can
scratch them off, undone.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) So
07 many friends, so little time!
How will you fit them all in? Get
somebody to help you, that’s how.
Assign correspondence to a person
with fewer obligations.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You’re
08 becoming more efficient, more
and more in the coming year. You’ll be
able to accomplish a lot more with a
lot less energy.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
08 Luckily, you’re naturally quite
good at multi-tasking. Go over your
lists again, to find important stuff
that you’ve missed. Scratch off the
unimportant stuff.
To get an advantage, check your rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
07
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Count your pennies and figure
out what you want to buy. You don’t
really enjoy sticking to a budget, but
you’ll get more toys if you do. You
might even be able to get one for
yourself.
07
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You
and your partner don’t always
agree, at least not in the beginning.
Continue the discussion, with facts,
and you’ll probably prevail. Eventually.
07
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You’ll be very busy for the next
few days, but don’t despair. This is
also one of your most lucrative times
of the year. You’ll do quite well.
07
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The more you think of the peo-
ple you love, the more you wish you
could buy everything their hearts desire.
You can’t; don’t even suggest it.
06
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Home and family need more at-
tention. Listen to their complaints.
You have the very thing a roommate
needs, hidden away. Make it an early
gift, and restore tranquility.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
07 Take a moment to contemplate
the finer things in life. Up at the top of
the list are your friends and family.
Let them know how much you appreciate
them, in word and in deed.

44 SPORTS QUOTE: ‘CHRIS IS A GOOD, SOLID GUY.’
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2007
By Max J. Dickstein
mdickstein@am-ny.com
Sacramento may be a lonely outpost
on the NBA map, but Sacramento Bee
reporter Sam Amick, in the area Tuesday
for the Kings’ defeat of the Nets,
had a lot to say about what’s new
around the NBA. We asked Amick, 30,
about a few New York-centric topics.
What’s the possibility of Kings forward
(and Brooklyn native) Ron
Artest getting traded to the
Knicks?
[Knicks power forward] David Lee, before,
was supposedly hands-off. One
new element is that, with their frontcourt
being deeper than it was last
year, I don’t see that as a reality anymore.
That’s a young, athletic player
that I could see the Kings being interested
in. I know that Ron always talks

NHL hits Simon with 30 games
Islander’s
punishment
is a record
By Ira Podell
The Associated Press
To his coach and teammates,
Chris Simon isn’t
the stick-swinging, skatestomping
fiend outsiders
view him to be.
To the NHL, he is an out
of control enforcer who
keeps pushing the league to
never before seen heights of
discipline.
The Islanders forward
was hit with a 30-game suspension
yesterday, breaking
the mark of 25 he set in
March with a ban that
stretched into this season.

ing the Saturday night dustup
with Pittsburgh’s Jarkko
Ruutu, will miss more than
a third of the season and
can’t return until Feb. 21
against Tampa Bay.
“Chris is a good, solid
guy,” teammate Bryan Berard
said. “He does have
that switch where he can
snap, and I think that’s why
he’s been in the league for so
long. It’s a tough sport.”
The 35-year-old player
Artest could go to Knicks, writer says
Q&A
with
Sam Amick
NBA
We spoke with Sam Amick, 30,
who covers the Kings for The
Sacramento Bee, at the Izod Center
on Tuesday. (Juan Iglesias-Lopez)
about, “That’s what New Yorkers
want.” Every time he comes back
here, people tell him they want him a

left the Islanders on Monday
to receive counseling,
then met with league disciplinarian
Colin Campbell
on Tuesday. Campbell had
said Simon would receive
drug and alcohol treatment,
The Kings’ unesteemed owners,
the Maloof family, are sort of an
MSG West. What’s up there?
The off-the-court stuff for the Kings
has not been nearly as opera-esque as
the Knicks. [General manager Geoff]
Petrie and the Maloofs are the only
juicy part of the Kings plot — the
ownership versus GM, and who’s
pulling the strings and who’s making
decisions. There also controvery
about whether there will be a new
arean. It’s not as sexy as what’s going
on in New York.
Last week, Isiah allegedly implied
that the MSG fans were partially at
fault for the Knicks’ poor play. Do
you think that’s fair?
I think that’s avoiding the mirror. I
just don’t know how he doesn’t own
up to everything. The fans’ first
thoughts would be, “You’ve got to be
kidding me. The money you’re making
and the lifestyles you live, and
you’re going to blame it on a periphery
aspect like that? That’s absurd.”

but the NHL later clarified
that Simon’s treatment will
take place under the league
and union’s substance abuse
and behavioral program.
Counseling details are
kept confidential. Islanders
spokesman Chris Botta confirmed
drugs and alcohol
are “not the issue.”
“The doctors who oversee
the substance abuse aspect
of the joint NHL/
NHLPA program also oversee
the aspect of behavioral
health,” league spokesman
Frank Brown said. “It would
be improper to draw any inference
as to whatever treatment
or counseling they
may be providing.”
The first game of the ban
was last night, when the
Islanders faced Buffalo.
The Cavs-Knicks game
began too late for this
edition. See amNY.com.

Briefs
NFL
■ Report: Parcells to
join Miami front office
Bill Parcells’ day began with
reports he would rebuild the
Atlanta Falcons. It ended with
him on the cusp of taking the
same job
with the
Miami
Dolphins.
Parcells and
Dolphins
owner
Wayne
Parcells
Huizenga
agreed yesterday
to a
four-year contract to be
Miami’s vice president of
football operations, according
to ESPN, which employs the
two-time Super Bowl-winning
coach as an analyst. The
Dolphins declined comment,
only saying no contract has
been signed, and no one at
Huizenga’s business office
was authorized to comment
when reached yesterday
evening.

■ 4 Taylor suspects
enter not guilty pleas
Four suspects accused in the
killing of Redskins Pro Bowl
safety Sean Taylor have filed
written not guilty pleas to
first-degree felony murder
and armed burglary charges.
The filing of a written plea
usually means defendants do
not appear in person at an arraignment,
said Ed Griffith,
spokesman for State
Attorney Katherine
Fernandez Rundle. The arraignment
hearing in the
case is set for tomorrow.

■ Osborne to remain
Nebraska AD until ’10
The interim tag is off — Tom
Osborne is Nebraska's athletic

that the 70-year-old

■ Bush coy on return
after Saints practice
Reggie Bush returned to
practice yesterday, ahead of
schedule after learning only
two weeks ago he had a torn
left knee ligament. Whether
the New Orleans Saints truly
expect the second-year star
to play on Sunday against
Philadelphia is another matter.
“I guess you guys have to
wait and see,” a grinning Bush
said coyly. “I can’t give that
away yet.” (AP)

Del Shon needed another
way to follow the Knicks.
The 25-year-old financial
analyst has been a devoted
fan despite the team’s struggles
and controversies.
“I have games on mute
[on TV] while I study,” said
Shon, of Harlem. “I usually
get free tickets to their
games from season-ticket
holders who have no interest
in going to the games.”
But even as he actively
maintained his connection
with the team, Shon said he
was missing a different kind
of fan experience — specifically,
“the ability to communicate
with other downand-out
Knicks fans.”
Now, Shon and thousands
of Knicks fans can
communicate in novel ways
online, thanks to new sports
fan applications developed
for Facebook.com, the social
networking Web site.
“Our aim is to serve the
fans of every sports community
globally,” said Kevin
Chou, co-founder and CEO
of Watercooler, Inc., the
Mountain View, Calif.-based
developer who created the
leading group of downloadable
fan applications, which
cover more than 600 pro
and college sports teams.
Each fan application’s home
page invites users to interact
with each other while showing
support for their teams.
Users can post photos
and videos, discuss topics
on message boards, write
and post articles, create and
answer team trivia questions
and earn points by “recruiting”
fellow users to join
the team’s group or starting
a successful online “wave.”
Users with enough points
can upgrade to the jersey of
their team’s most legendary
player. “I like the concept of
acquiring points,” Shon
said. “Nobody wants to be
a water boy,” he said, referring
to the label for users
who have zero points.
“The more you recruit,
the closer you be-
‘
come to a legend
like Patrick Ewing,”
Shon said.
Andrew Bua, of
Woodhaven, joined
the Jets’ fan group
on Facebook.
“I think the jersey
upgrades are
pretty cool for recruiting,
but nothing
beats the trivia,”
said Bua, 20, a
media relations intern with
the Mets. “Being a Jets fan
all my life and knowing all
that small stuff makes it fun
to do.”
Chou hopes these interac-

since Watercooler
released them in
July.
Despite the applications’success,
certain elements,
such as a
chat feature, have
not worked as
planned.
“Real-time chat
is a feature we were very excited
about,” Chou said.
“Our usage number there
has only been in the few

■ Other ways to connect
There are several ways besides
Facebook for fans to interact
with each other online – and
with their teams. MySpace offers
the ability to form groups
of your favorite teams, write
blogs and upload videos to your
personal page. ESPN.com, taking
a page from Facebook and
MySpace, allows sports fans to

they can pick their favorite
teams, write blogs, search for

friends, send personal messages,
write on each others’
pages and post their results
from ESPN’s fantasy leagues. In
addition to official Web sites,
which tempt fans to register
and receive newsletters, many
sports teams have independent
Web sites run by fans. These
fan-run sites vary in quality, but
a common feature is a message
board where fans vociferously
discuss the latest happenings
with their teams. (Kyle Stack)

even be a psychological
benefit to generating, and

line with other fans.
“Airing out my frustrations
with other fans helps
me realize that I am not
