Dewey Square is startingto look more like a musicfestival as groups of per-formers begin testingtheir civic rights throughsinging, rapping and rock-ing out on a ukulele.
To date, the group hasnot pulled any permitswith the city, includingpermits to host bands, butpolice say that’s fine aslong as they don’t have“elaborate staging.”
Using electricity pro-vided by the Massachu-setts Department ofTransportation, who ownsthe parcel, AmandaPalmer of The DresdenDolls showed up on thescene Thursday to per-form for supporters of theOccupy Boston movementwith ukulele in hand.
“I want to call on all ofmy musician friends inBoston,” said Palmer.“This is so easy to do, allyou need to do is show upand bring other people —bring the strangers withyou.”
Following Palmer’s im-promptu performance, ahip-hop act was scheduledto take the mic.
Their act was poweredby volunteers pedalingbikes.
Suggestions have alsostarted to surface in theTwitterverse between “oc-cupods” as organizersasked them whom theywould want to see in con-
cert on the Tent Citylawns.
While nothing hasbeen confirmed, a buzzbegan to try and get Drop-kick Murphys on the siteof the activist scene.
Last month, the bandplayed two sold-out showsat Fenway Park that drewmore than 10,000 people
per night.“If we were to have
Dropkick Murphys here,we would work some-thing out with police be-fore hand,” said DevonPendleton, a member ofOccupy Boston.

Brown ‘clothes’ commentsrattle Dems and TwitterState Democrats wasted notime slamming Sen. ScottBrown for comments thefreshman legislator madeduring a radio appearanceThursday.
The republican senatorcalled in to a WZLX morn-ing show and made com-ments about the physicalappearance of one of hischallengers, Democrat Eliz-abeth Warren.
“Sen. Brown’s commentsare the kind of thing youwould expect to hear in afrat house, not a race forU.S. Senate. We keep wait-ing for Scott Brown to takehis campaign out of the gut-ter,” said Mass. DemocraticParty Executive DirectorClare Kelly.
The exchange occurred
during a discussion focusedon Brown posing for Cos-mopolitan magazinedecades ago.
He was asked a questionabout a comment made byWarren during a debate thisweek when she said thatshe didn’t have remove herclothes to pay for college.
“Have you officially re-sponded to Elizabeth War-ren’s comments about how
she didn’t take her clothesoff,” the DJs asked Brown.
“Thank God,” Brownsaid.
Brown’s reply causedlaughter among the DJs.“That’s what I said,” one ofthem replied.
“The bottom line is Ididn’t go to Harvard. Iwent to the school of hardknocks. I did whatever Ihad to do to pay for school,”said Brown. “You know,whatever. Let them throwstones.”
Brown’s campaign said itwas elitist for Warren, aHarvard professor, to lookdown on Brown’s decisions,according to the Globe.

As roadwork wraps up atthe Boston UniversityBridge, commuters willhave traffic congestion is-sues to look forward to atother overpasses lined upfor construction starting asearly as January.
During a meeting withthe MassDOT Board of Di-rectors this week, mem-bers of the Charles RiverConservancy met to dis-cuss updates to the CharlesRiver Basin Project, part ofthe Massachusetts Acceler-ated Bridge Program.
The next project in theworks is the Anderson Me-morial Bridge, which con-nects Cambridge to Bostonand serves as a majorcrossover point for car,pedestrian and bike traffic.
Members of the conser-
vancy asked for MassDOTto consider adding under-pass access to the historicbridge to provide safetyand alleviate traffic snarlsin the future.
But the board said therewas no extra money to pro-vide the perk.
“It’s less of a priorityright now than is fixingother bridges in the Com-
monwealth,” said Mass-DOT board member Ferdi-nand Alvaro, Jr.
Alvaro said the agency isnot “replete with funds,”and while the passagewayswould be worthy, gettingpermits and money forthem would be difficult.
It would cost MassDOTan additional $6.5 millionto add the underpasses, ac-cording to a study.
Bridge project managerSteve Mclaughlin said thewalkways would also pushprogress to other projectsfurther out putting morepressure on traffic.
“[We] don’t want tomake it even worse,” hesaid.

Senior government officials added US-born Awlaki to target list No rules concerning how list operates
American militants likeAnwar al-Awlaki are placedon a kill or capture list by asecretive panel of seniorgovernment officials,which then informs thepresident of its decisions,according to officials.
There is no publicrecord of the operations ordecisions of the panel,which is a subset of theWhite House's National Se-curity Council, several cur-rent and former officialssaid. Neither is there anylaw establishing its exis-tence or setting out therules by which it is sup-posed to operate.
The panel was behind
the decision to add Awla-ki, a U.S.-born militantpreacher with alleged al-Qaeda connections, to thetarget list. He was killed bya CIA drone strike inYemen late last month.
Current and former offi-cials said that to the bestof their knowledge, Awla-ki, who the White Housesaid was a key figure in al-Qaeda in the ArabianPeninsula, al-Qaeda'sYemen-based affiliate, hadbeen the only Americanput on a government listtargeting people for cap-ture or death due to theiralleged involvement withmilitants.

R i PMOURNINGSTEVE JOBS
Outpourings of public griefand appreciation swept theglobe on Thursday afterthe death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
Jobs, who touched thedaily lives of countless mil-lions of people through theMacintosh computer, iPod,iPhone and iPad, died onWednesday at age 56 aftera long battle with pancre-atic cancer. He steppeddown as Apple chief execu-tive in August.
In New York City, an im-promptu memorial madefrom flowers, candles anda dozen green and red ap-ples was erected outside a24-hour Apple store onManhattan’s Fifth Avenue,with fans snapping photosof it on their iPhones.
“It was really sad newsfor us,” said DaiichiroTashiro, 25, visiting fromTokyo.
Tributes poured in both
from ordinary people andfrom the pinnacles of thebusiness and politicalworlds.
At an Apple store in Syd-ney, lawyer George Raptis,who was 5 years old whenhe first used a Macintoshcomputer, spoke for al-
most everyone who hascome into contact with Ap-ple. “He’s changed the faceof computing,” he said.“There will only ever beone Steve Jobs.”
A college dropout andthe son of adoptive par-ents, Jobs changed the
technology world in thelate 1970s, when the AppleII became the first person-al computer to gain a widefollowing. He did it againin 1984 with the Macin-tosh, which built on break-through technologies de-veloped at Xerox Parc and
elsewhere to create thepersonal computing expe-rience as we know it today.
The rebel streak thatwas central to his personagot him tossed out of Applein 1985, but he returned in1997 and after a few yearsbegan the rollout of a troi-ka of products that againupended the establishedorder in major industries.
A diagnosis of a rareform of pancreatic cancerin 2004 initially cast only amild shadow over Jobs andApple, with the CEO assert-ing that the disease wastreatable. But his healthdeteriorated rapidly overthe past several years.
Jobs’s death came justone day after Cook pre-sented a new iPhone at thekind of gala event that be-came Jobs’s trademark.Perhaps coincidentally, thenew device got lukewarmreviews. REUTERS

Directed by Ridley Scott (“Blade Runner”), this ad for the Macintosh featured a woman throwing a giant hammer at the head of a Big Brother, echoing George Orwell’s classic dystopian novel. Aired during the Super Bowl, the ad was the most expensive of its time: The budget was reportedly $900,000.

Studentdesign a hit onthe WebHONG KONG. A Hong Kong
design student’s poignanttribute to Apple founderSteve Jobs became an Inter-net hit Thursday with itsminimalist, touching sym-bolism — and brought ajob offer and a flood ofcommemorative merchan-dise using his design.
Jonathan Mak, 19, a stu-dent at Hong Kong’s Poly-technic University School
of Design, came up withthe idea of incorporatingSteve Jobs’ silhouette intothe bite of the Apple logo,symbolizing both Jobs’ de-parture and lingeringpresence at the core of thecompany.
The logo was even usedas the Twitter profile pic-ture for Ashton Kutcher.
“It’s been a crazy day for
me,” Mak told Reuters.“I’m both excited and terri-fied,” added the teenager.
Mak said he had re-ceived a job offer becauseof the design.
Mak, who first createdthe logo after Jobs steppeddown as Apple’s head inAugust, said it hadn’tmade much of a splash un-til he reposted it Thursday.
“Originally, I was goingto put a black modified logoagainst a white back-ground,” said the bespecta-cled Mak. “It just didn’t feelsomber enough. I just want-ed it to be a very quiet com-memoration. It’s just thisquiet realization that Appleis now missing a piece. It’sjust kind of implying hisabsence.” REUTERS

point, counterpoint
The recent series of phone-hack-ing scandals facing Rupert Mur-doch have conclusively demon-strated that HIS News Corpora-tion is devoid of journalistic
ethics. No doubt, the vast majority ofbroadcast journalists in the United States
regard Murdoch'stroubles as longoverdue comeup-pance for the per-manent damagethey inflicted onthe American me-dia landscape.
For more thana century,journalists haveadhered to an ide-al of objectivity —admittedly, onethey could neverquite live up to.
Still, they were intent on serving the pub-lic interest by providing objective, factualdescriptions of events. Journalists proudlyproclaimed that the criticisms and com-plaints they received from both left andright proved that they were maintainingthe correct level of professionaldetachment and impartiality.
Fox News represents a radical breakfrom this tradition, as it is profoundly
partisan in its reporting.Fox's political bias would not be so
damaging if the organization would behonest and up front about the fact thatit favors conservatism and the Republi-cation Party. That would be perfectlylegitimate.
The problem is that Fox keeps its po-litical agenda hidden and obscured in amanner that blurs the distinctionbetween journalism and overtpropaganda. Instead, Fox News presentsitself as part of the tradition of objectivejournalism, claiming that its deliberate-ly biased newscasts somehow represent“fair and balanced” reporting.
This smokescreen has the effectof tainting all reporting with anair of political bias and pressur-ing other organizations to com-pensate for the imbalance in the
media ecology. MSNBC has more recent-ly eschewed the objective ideal tobecome the liberal counterpart to Fox.
And so, like a zombie plague, the in-fection spreads!
Cynicism abounds; and is it anywonder that when news becomes ajoke, comedians become our mosttrusted journalists? How can we notlook to Jon Stewart or Jay Leno as voic-es of reason and truth, when all thatFox brings us is an endless parade ofprogramming that favorsconfrontation, conflict and angryexchanges?
Fox News is to journalism as profes-sional wrestling is to sports. Murdochis guilty of nothing less than strip-min-ing the media landscape, and it will bea long time healing from the damagethat he has caused.
— Lance Strate is a professor of Communicationand Media Studies at Fordham University.
The first lesson I was taught whenentering the business world was“If they don’t like you, it meansyou’re doing something right.”Over the last 15 years, Fox News
has made some enemies, but theirunique brand of journalism has created
a strong legion ofsupporters.
Since thebeginning, FoxNews has beencriticized by theleft and accused ofbeing stalwartsfor the GOP. How-ever, no matterwhat one thinksabout the politicalideology of Foxcommentators,one thing is abun-
dantly clear: America trusts them.Fox News fills a large void in reporting
that’s watched by more than 1.8 millionviewers each night. In fact, the Fox NewsChannel is the fifth most-watched cablenetwork in America with a nightly view-ership larger than that of CNN andMSNBC combined.
Their popularity can be explained part-
ly by the fact that they offer another sideto news that we usually do not seeenough of when relying on the tradition-al news media. Earlier this year, a Demo-cratic organization, Public Policy Polling,polled Americans and found that FoxNews ranked as the second most-trustednews network, just behind PBS. Thismight explain why commentators suchas Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and GretaVan Susteren have been rated No. 1 intheir nightly time slots time and timeagain over their CNN and MSNBCcounterparts.
Fox News covers many overlooked butimportant issues, serving as a leader inpublic discourse. Fox’s journalists reporton stories that other media outlets don’talways pay attention to, but that oftenturn out to be major national stories.Fox’s recent coverage of the shameful“Operation Fast & Furious” by the Bureauof Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explo-sives is just one example of this.
For as long as there iscompetition and opinions in thenews, many will criticize Foxand its contributors. Ten years ofconsistent, record-breaking rat-
ings should signify the reach and impactthat the network has on the playing fieldof news delivery.
Irrespective of what the critics on theleft might shout from their soapboxesabout Fox, the people have spoken, andFox is here to stay.

15 YEARS OFFOX NEWS
Fox News Channel is 15 years old this week,
having changed the face of TV news (though
it still considers itself an underdog). Since
1996, Fox has caused plenty of controversy
with its often caustic, center-right viewpoint.
But to the chagrin of its liberal critics, its au-
dience is twice that of the combined figure
of CNN and MSNBC. Fox News has always di-
vided opinion; and here, two commentators
tell us what they think. METRO Fair and balanced?

George Clooney’snew film, “The Idesof March,” takeswhat some might
call a cynical look at thestate of American politics,but that doesn’t mean thedirector and star — everthe optimist — has givenup on the system all to-gether. “I think it’s cycli-cal,” he says. “I think we’reat a period of time whereit’s probably not our bestmoment in politics, but ifyou look at the things Jef-ferson and Adams did toeach other, the 1800 elec-tion was pretty rotten andevil. Things change and arecyclical, so I’m hopeful.”
The film, based on BeauWillimon’s play “FarragutNorth,” follows an idealis-tic young campaign work-er (Ryan Gosling) whosework for a charismatic can-didate (Clooney) duringthe Democratic primaryopens his eyes to the un-derbelly of politics. But asmuch as campaign signsand Beltway jargon makeup the scenery of “Ides ofMarch,” Clooney wants tomake clear that this is nota political film — at leastnot the way he sees it.
“I thought of this as afilm about moral choices,not about political strife,”he says. “I thought it was afun moral tale, and onceyou put it in politics it sortof amps up the problems.There isn’t a person youhave met that hasn’t beenmet with moral questions.Everyone makes moralchoices to better them-selves and hurt othersalong the way, whether themeans justifies the ends.”In fact, he maintains, the
political setting is actuallyincredibly incidental — es-pecially considering cur-rent events. “It could havebeen better in Wall Street,”he offers.
With acclaimed filmslike “Confessions of a Dan-gerous Mind” and “GoodNight and Good Luck” onhis resume, Clooney isproving just as adept as adirector as he is as an ac-tor. So how different is theClooney behind the cam-era to the one audiencesknow? Not very. “He’s pret-ty much the same guy asGeorge Clooney the actor,”he jokes. “Basically thesame height, same hair.Pretty much the same.”
As for his on-camerawork for the film,surely Clooneyused some real-life
models in portraying atop-ranking politico,right? Not so much, he in-sists. “No, there reallyweren’t,” Clooney says.“There’s just so manyways to get in troublewith this answer. Therewere enough examplesthat we just picked littlepieces of whatever wewanted.” But he maintainsthat viewers going outlooking for those real-world corollaries are wast-ing their time. Clooney of-fers a recent erroneouscomparison: “Peoplethink it’s about the JohnEdwards thing, but thiswas written before theJohn Edwards thing evenbroke.”
A vote for Clooney directs and stars in the political drama ‘Ides of March’
‘I thought of this as a film about moral choices, not about political strife,’ he says

The director’s chair
Why ‘Ides’ isa reflection —not acriticism —of Americanpolitics
It’s all part of the
perception problem
people have with
movies — especially
political movies —
and their place in
culture, Clooney ex-
plains. “Films don’t
lead the way. In gen-
eral it takes about
two years to get a
film made,” he says.
“People think that
films somehow are
trying to lead socie-
ty. Mostly we’re re-
flecting the moods
and thoughts that
are going on in our
country and around
the world. If this
film reflects some of
the cynicism that’s
we’ve seen in recent
times, that’s proba-
bly good. It’s not a
bad thing to hold a
mirror up and look
at some of the
things we’re doing.
It’s not a bad thing
to look at how we
elect our officials.”
METRO/NE
He’d get our vote: Clooney stars as Democratic presidential hopeful
Governor Mike Morris in “The Ides of March,” opening Friday.

‘Real Steel’Grade:�����
For a family-friendly fantasyflick — even one about robotspummeling each other — “Re-al Steel” opens with somepretty questionable action. Wemeet Charlie (Hugh Jackman)pitting his robot boxer,Ambush, against a live bull ata state fair. The film’s set in anot-too-distant future whenan increasing thirst forviolence makes human box-
ing obsolete in favor of thebrutal robot kind. But there’ssomething about watching ananimal getting punched in theface that doesn’t quite sitright. And strangely, the rest ofthe film is family-safe.
Robot-on-bovine violenceaside, “Real Steel” works, mi-nus a few bugs. The boxing it-
self is a marvel, with the clash-ing metal titans feeling incred-ibly real. As for the humans,Jackman plays Charlie withjust enough charm that weroot for him despite the factthat he’s a lackluster business-man, father and human being.
About that father bit:Charlie takes on hisestranged 11-year-old son(Dakota Goyo) for a summeron the road. Unfortunately,the film relies a bit too heavi-ly on Goyo — possibly to dis-tract from Jackman’s charac-ter’s less-than-heroic actions.And the less said about theboy’s dancing, the better.

Review
Is carnage OK if it’s
made of “Real Steel”?
©DREAMWORKS II DISTRIBUTION CO., LLC
For “Real Steel,” box-ing legend Sugar RayLeonard was taskedwith both choreo-
graphing big robot-on-robot boxing matches andtraining Hugh Jackman toplay a convincing trainerand former boxer. But we atMetro thought he could usea real challenge: critiquingmy boxing abilities.Leonard was a great sportabout it. As for me? Well...
The ‘Real Steel’ choreographergives our reporter a one-on-one lesson in butt-kicking What hetaught Hugh Jackman about boxing
Teaching Hugh
Hugh Jackman, the star of
“Real Steel,” was obviously
a better student than I
turned out to be. So how
did Mr. Wolverine fare?
“I worked with Hugh anumber of times, just
showing him how toexecute certain punches —how to really punch withconviction. I told him it’s allin your face, it’s all in whatyou reveal. You punch withconviction. The things that Ireally taught to Hugh waslooking the part, being afighter, and he pulled it off.”

When Metro’s Ned Ehrbar ran into Sugar Ray Leonard days
later and asked about how he did, Leonard responded with
a laugh and said, “Man, you were really bad.”

Mr. Clooney goes to Washington‘The Ides of March’Director: George ClooneyCast: Ryan Gosling, GeorgeClooney, Philip SeymourHoffmanRating: R Grade: �����
Don’t give all the credit todirector and star GeorgeClooney for such an engag-ing thriller. For one, thisscreen adaptation of theBroadway play “FarragutNorth” owes all it’s quick-witted Sorkin-esque dia-logue to the sourcematerial, down to almostevery last beat. The playmanaged to successfullynavigate the uninitiatedthrough the jargon-riddledworld of high-stakes elec-tions without letting thewhole thing devolve into atextbook-heavy clunker.
But Clooney did show hisknack for casting by puttingRyan Gosling in the role ofan ambitious and brilliantyoung political strategistStephen Meyers, whose
charm, like Gosling’s, is ef-fortlessly seductive.Clooney surrounds himwith the best actor’s actorsaround — Philip SeymourHoffman plays Gosling’sboss and No. 1 politicalstrategist to Clooney’s presi-dential hopeful, and PaulGiamatti as a tightly woundadvisor to Clooney’s oppo-nent (as if he’s played any-thing but tightly wound).The film’s pacing is even;and while the character arcsmay be familiar, there’snothing predictable here.
The only criticism maybe that though Clooney’scharacter is as morally am-biguous as everyone else’s,his is the only ugly behaviorthat we never get to see on-screen. Is it Clooney’s ownvanity that prevented this?Looks like Danny Ocean hashis faults.
Ryan Gosling uses that charming smile to his advantage as
political advisor in “The Ides of March.”

It was only eight years agothat the International Crim-inal Court came into exis-tence. While the tribunalhas been met with plenty ofcriticism, its chief prosecu-tor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo,tells Metro that it’s a matterof time before justice ar-rives for the cases on hisdocket — including thoseagainst Libya’s MuammarGaddafi and Sudanese Presi-dent Omar Al-Bashir. “TheProsecutor,” a new docu-mentary following Ocampoin his work at the ICC,shows the complex workthis man has in hand. Yetthe Argentine lawyer stillmaintains that he has thebest job in the world.
What are you hoping viewerswill take away from this filmabout your work?
People have to know thatthe ICC is an institution forthe international communi-ty. People have to knowthey can submit informa-tion to us. The movie showsthis institution working tobring justice for the worstcrimes when no one elsewill bring justice. Exiled leader of LibyaMuammar Gaddafi has saidthat he will fight until he’sdead. Do you expect to seehim at the InternationalCriminal Court?We have a warrant there, sothat’s the important thing.In the Libya case, it soundslike everything was work-ing the right way. Becauseas soon as the crime start-ed, the media showed itand then the security coun-sel acted and requested ourintervention. Without that,
we cannot intervene.But do you think you willbring him to justice?I think for us, if our warranthelps to stop the crimethat’s a big achievement. Ifwe can arrest them, we’llsee. It takes time. What do you say to criticswho believe it’s impossible tohave an ICC? This was a good questioneight years ago when Istarted; but now, [thecourt] is a reality.How do you remain anoptimist despite how difficulteach step of the judicialprocess can be?Because it’s a fascinatingmission that they gave tome. It’s the best job in theworld.

“The New York Times usedthe word ‘holocaust’ to de-scribe what happened inthe second World War in1959. Fifteen years later,they used holocaust withouta capital letter. The under-standing ‘Holocaust’ [with acapital H] took 10 yearsmore. What happened inthe middle? Two movies –‘The Diary of Anne Frank’and ‘The Nuremberg Trials.’The media helps to under-stand what happens today,but movies have a long-term impact.”

This is my storyI used to be more active. I used to run, play basketball, tennis; football… I was more
than a weekend warrior. I woke up every day fi lled with life! But
now, in my late 30’s, I spend most of my day in the offi ce or sacked out in front of the TV. My energy has fi zzled and I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve grown a spare tire (I’m sure it’s hurting my love life). Nowadays I rarely walk. For some reason it’s just harder now. Gravity has done a job on me.
Wear them and you’ll knowBut that’s when a friend told me about a new kind of shoe. A shoe biomechanically engineered to make standing and walking on hard surfaces like concrete, tile and linoleum easy. They defy the force of gravity by relieving stress on your heels, ankles, knees and back. They boost your energy by propelling you forward.” The longer he talked, the more sense it made. He was even wearing a pair himself!
Excitement swept through my body I received my package from GravityDefyer.com and rushed to tear it open like a kid at Christmas. Inside I found the most amazing shoes I had ever seen – different than most athletic shoes. Sturdy construction. Cool colors. Nice lines… I was holding a miracle of technology. This was the real thing.

I put them on and all I could say was, “WOW!” In minutes I was out the door. I was invincible; tireless in my new Gravity Defyer shoes. Years of feeling exhaustion seemed to slip away. It was as if my legs had been replaced with super-powered bionics. At last, I was back in the game. Gravity has no power over me!

The latest onAniston’s wombJennifer Aniston knowsthere’s plenty written abouther and her possible desires tobe a mom. Even a recent visitto the doctor with boyfriendJustin Theroux promptedspeculation about family plan-ning. But despite reports,Aniston isn’t baby-mad. “It’snot what you read. There’s no
desperation,” she tells Ellemagazine. “If it’s meant to be,it’s meant to be. I’m at peacewith whatever the plan is.”
Depp sorry forrape commentJohnny Depp’s comparison ofhaving his photo taken to beingraped didn’t sit well with theRape, Abuse and Incest Nation-al Network, according toHollyscoop. Depp made thecomment during an interviewwith Vanity Fair, and after theadvocacy group made their
concerns known, the actor wasquick to apologize: “I am trulysorry for offending anyone inany way. I never meant to. Itwas a poor choice of words onmy part in an effort to explain afeeling,” Depp said in astatement. “I understand thereis no comparison and I am veryregretful. In an effort to correctmy lack of judgment, please ac-cept my heartfelt apology.”
Barrymore isgetting seriousDrew Barrymore “is yearning
to get married and have kids,”a source tells Us Weekly. So it’sa good thing that herboyfriend, Will Kopelman,has been considering propos-ing — he’s possibly poppingthe question “around the one-year mark of their dating” thiswinter, the source says. “He’smadly in love and knows she’sthe one, but he just needs abit more time.” That takes careof marriage, but when itcomes to babies, Barrymoremay not be so patient: “I couldsee her getting pregnant be-fore they get married,” thesource adds.
THE WORDMetro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip @dorothyatmetro [email protected]
Debbie Gibson, 41, had abusy Wednesday night. The’80s icon was to host andperform at the re-openingof The Culture Club, thethree-floored mega club fea-turing light-up dance floors(a la “Saturday NightFever”), original tour mem-orabilia from Gibson (she’sa partner in the club), andartwork from era classicssuch as “Footloose” and“The Breakfast Club.”
The only problem? Shewas two hours late to herown party. And after muchprotesting (and waitingthrough her performanceof only one song, her hit“Shake Your Love,” whichages very well, FYI) weweren’t granted an inter-view at the reopening (sheapologized later, saying themusic was too loud). How-ever, once the ’80s flash-backs wore off Gibson waskind enough to answer ourquestions about reinvent-ing herself in the aughts.
You’ve made a new name foryourself by starring in suchmovies as “Mega Python vs.
Gatoroid” and “Mega SharkVersus Giant Octopus.” Why dothose types of films?I have always enjoyed act-ing through my experi-ences on Broadway and I’malways game for new adven-tures. These movies are justso over-the-top and kitchythat I couldn’t resist thefun. Out of all of your co-stars inthose films — Mega Shark, Giant Octopus, Mega Pythonand Gatoroid — which scaredyou the most?None of them compare tothe mega sharks I’veworked with in the musicbusiness. But in all serious-ness, the live alligator wasthe scariest. You played Katie Perry’s momin her “Last Friday Night”video. Do you feel like she isyour daughter in a way, in thatshe’s this generation’s face ofpop music?I feel more like a big sisterthan mother, but yes, I dobelieve she is the genera-tion’s face of pop music.

@ACNism I ratherwatch infomercials.

Talking points
Ashton triesto slip theblameIf Ashton Kutcher is try-ing to spin the reasonfor his recent troubleswith Demi Moore ontoher shoulders byclaiming she hasrelapsed, that’s reallynot the way to do it,bub.
A “friend” tells Life& Style that their rela-tionship had fallenapart weeks beforeAshton’s reportedcheating incident. Infact, Ashton movedout because Moore hadrelapsed and he did soto “help” her. “Demihad been sober for along time — decades— but recently it’s got-ten bad,” the insiderreveals to Life & Style.“Ashton loves her, buthe can’t stick aroundand watch her do thisto herself.”
Bad form, TeamAshton. If your wife issick, you stick by herand help her. Youdon’t move out andthen boff a 23-year-oldtart in a hot tub. Youare not going to gainthe sympathy votewith that angle.

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 really didn’t decideto be in this band con-sciously until I was 15 andour second major label
record was coming out,”Hanson tells Metro. “Itwas just who I was andpart of what I did andsomething I’d alwaysdone.”
Remarkably, the bandof brothers surpassed be-ing one-hit teenybop won-ders a long time ago. In-stead, the trio carved outa respected career as mu-sicians. Their eighth stu-dio album, “Shout It Out,”was released last winter.
“We are not one-hitwonders because of astubborn perseverance tocontinue to do what welove doing,” says Hanson.“When we were kids, peo-ple would ask us stupid
questions like, ‘What doyou want to do when yougrow up?’ It was so frus-trating. People, give me alittle respect! I am 12 butI’m here working! Wewould always say stuff, itsounded silly at the time,but I would say, ‘Justthink of us as old guyswith really high voices.’We knew at that pointthat whether we wereplaying on a street corneror playing the HollywoodBowl, we are going to bedoing this for years andyears and years untilwe’re old and gray.”
The long, musicaljourney of Hanson
Youngest brother Zac talks about his commitment to the band andsome of the trials and tribulations of the early years (he’s still only 25)

October is National DessertMonth. And whereas pump-kin pie or chocolate cake al-ways get your attention, inhonor of the holiday it’stime to direct your atten-tion to an overlooked con-tender: cheese.
It’s time to cut thecheese —for dessert
Cheese, please
Dane Huebner, the head
cheesemaker of Vermont’s
Grafton Village Cheese,
shares his tips on adding
sophistication to dessert:
It’s simply better for you,
health-wise. “It’s less fillingand more nutritious thanyour average sweets,” Hueb-ner says. “There’s proteinand calcium in cheese. Andwith raw milk products, youare going to get cultures[that] help with digestion.”
Toward the end of the meal
is the better placement for
cheese. “If you eat cheese asan appetizer, it can dull yourhunger,” he says. “By havingit at the end of the meal,you can take more time toappreciate it.”You can please both your
sweet and savory sides.
“Fruit is a natural sweetnessthat plays well with cheese;same with nuts,” says Hueb-ner on a nice accompani-ment. “You get both yoursweet and savory tastes in.”

Depending on the out-come, one of two ques-tions will be raised afterthe Patriots-Jets game onSunday.
“Yeah, but can the Patsbeat them in the playoffs,too?” or “Why can’t theyfigure out a way to beat theJets?”
It’s a lose-lose situationfor New England thisweek. And to be honest,they deserve it.
The Pats manhandledthe Jets 45-3 last year, onlyto lose just over a monthlater in the playoffs. It wasa completely different-looking offense, and a Jetsteam fired up for revenge.
Through four weeks thisseason, the Pats have beenpretty easy to figure out:Give up tons of yards ondefense and hope that TomBrady can bail them out onthe offensive end.
Here’s the problem:That only works for solong. New York figured itout last season, and if theylose Sunday, they have atleast one more try to get itright.
The Pats offense isn’t aproblem right now. But un-til the defense shows upand stays, wins will be lit-tered with: “Yeah, but ...”
“Inconsistency at times,and it cost us,” Vince Wil-
fork said of the defense. “Ahandful of plays in eachgame really cost this teamfrom being a really gooddefense.”
The Pats give up an aver-age of 477.5 yards pergame, by far the worst inthe NFL. That’s certainlyno recipe for success.
“Like I said, we don’thave anyone here saying,
‘We’re the greatest de-fense and there’s nothingelse we can to do to getbetter,’” Wilfork said.“Everyone sees exactlywhat each other sees —that we can get better.There are some things wecan change.”

football facts
A look at thisweekend’s NFLaction, through the eyes of thefootball statexperts atColdhardfootballfacts.com.
The mother
of all stats
Passer rating differential
is the “mother stat” of
football analysis, because
60 percent of all NFL
champions since 1940
finished No. 1 or No. 2 in
the indicator. The 2009
Saints and 2010 Packers
were each tops:
It merely takes a team’spasser rating and subtractsits defensive passer rating(the total performance ofother QBs against itsdefense). The top five in the NFLthrough Week 4:1. Green Bay +32.22. Tennessee +31.53. N.Y. Giants +28.84. Detroit +26.55. Houston +24.2The bottom five:28. Indianapolis -20.229. Philadelphia -21.130. Miami -28.631. Denver 29.832. Jacksonville -33.5

Tennessee WR Nate
Washington struggled asthe Titans’ No. 1 receiverlast weekend, with just twocatches for 62 yards atCleveland. Fantasy ownersshouldn’t be willing togamble that he will farebetter this weekend againsta stingy Pittsburghdefensive unit.
This is a great weekend totake advantage of one ofour favorite college foot-ball betting trends: Goingagainst a team coming offan emotional game or a bigwin.
The benefits of thistrend are two-fold:
First, college teams and
young players in generaloften have a letdown. Andsecond, the point spread isoften inflated. Everyonesaw Team X get that hugewin last week, and nowthey’re running to the win-dow to bet on them.
That creates value.What’s that mean this
weekend? Boston College is a great
pick getting 21 points atClemson, thanks to theTigers’ three high-profilewins in a row.
Likewise, Vanderbiltshould cover 28.5 againstan Alabama team that justbeat Florida. ADAM LEVITAN

#1 DAILY NEWSPAPER IN BOSTON PROPER
WEEKEND FOOTBALL BETTING GUIDE
LINE: Steelers -3.5(O/U 39.5)
KEY INJURIES: QB Ben
Roethlisberger (foot)
probable. RB Rashard
Mendenhall (hamstring)
questionable. James
Harrison (face) out. WR
Kenny Britt (knee) out.
THE SCOOP: This is
basically a pick ’em
game with the
defending AFC
champion Steelers
getting the automatic
three points for that
“Terrible Towel”
atmosphere and
home-field advantage.
But Pittsburgh is just
too banged up to rely
on at this point. Even if
Big Ben plays, he won’t
be 100 percent, and
Tennessee has one of
the stingiest defenses in
the NFL. Plus, the stats
back the Titans, anyway,
with the underdog
going 7-1 ATS in the last
eight head-to-head
meetings in this series.
PICK: Titans
at
BOISE ST4-0
FRESNO ST2-3
FRIDAY, 9 P.M.
Line: Boise -21 (O/U 58)
The Scoop: Boise has had three big
spreads this year. They’ve only
covered once.
Pick: Fresno
at
LOUISVILLE2-2
UNC4-1
SATURDAY, NOON
Line: UNC -14
The Scoop: The Tar Heels have
alternated W’s and L’s ATS all
year. They’re due for an L.
Pick: Louisville
at
UCONN2-3
W. VIRGINA4-1
SATURDAY, NOON
Line: WVU -20
The Scoop: The Huskies have looked
bad both SU and ATS all season
long. WVU — just a bit better.
Pick: West Virginia
at
OKLAHOMA4-0
TEXAS4-0
SATURDAY, NOON
Line: OU -10.5
The Scoop: We have very little doubt
the Sooners will win SU. ATS? It’s a
rivalry game ... it’ll be close.
Pick: Texas
at
BC1-4
CLEMSON5-0
SATURDAY, 3 P.M.
Line: Clemson -21
The Scoop: We covered this one
already. The Eagles will cover.
Pick: Boston College
at
FLORIDA4-1
LSU5-0
SATURDAY, 3:30 P.M.
Line: LSU -14
LSU is 1-4-1 ATS in their last six
games against Florida. This game
will be close.
Pick: Florida
at
AUBURN4-1
ARKANSAS4-1
SATURDAY, 7 P.M.
Line: Arkansas -10
Auburn doesn’t get enough credit
now that Cam Newton is gone. They
might lose, but it’ll be close.
Pick: Auburn
at
MICHIGAN5-0
N’WESTERN2-2
SATURDAY, 7 P.M.
Line: Michigan -7.5
Denard Robinson will run all over
Northwestern. The Wildcats are 1-5
ATS in their last six at home.
Pick: Michigan
at
KANSAS2-2
OKLA. ST4-0
SATURDAY, 3:30 P.M.
Line: OSU -32
Kansas can score points; they just
have no defense. But 32 is way
too high.
Pick: Kansas
at
OHIO ST3-2
NEBRASKA4-1
SATURDAY, 8 P.M.
Line: Nebraska -11.5
The spread would be much bigger if
it weren’t for OSU’s name.
Pick: Nebraska
at
RAIDERS2-2
TEXANS3-1
SUNDAY, 1 P.M.
Line: Texans -6 (O/U 51)
The Scoop: Pardon us for not being
too impressed with the Raiders last
week. They’re in trouble.
Pick: Texans
at
EAGLES1-3
BILLS3-1
SUNDAY, 1 P.M.
Line: Eagles -3 (O/U 49.5)
The Scoop: Philly is just 1-4 ATS its
last five times out. But they’re 7-3 SU
in their last 10 on the road.
Pick: Eagles
at
CARDINALS1-3
VIKINGS0-4
SUNDAY, 1 P.M.
Line: Vikings -3 (O/U 45.5)
The Scoop: Here’s another instance
where a road underdog is a good
bet. Minny rarely covers at home.
Pick: Cardinals
at
SAINTS3-1
PANTHERS1-3
SUNDAY, 1 P.M.
Line: Saints -6.5 (O/U 51)
The Scoop: Cam Newton won’t tear
it up this week.
Pick: Saints
at
JETS2-2
PATRIOTS3-1
SUNDAY, 4:15 P.M.
Line: Patriots -9 (O/U 48.5)

in last 26 meetings. Jets have won
four of last six meetings overall.

49ERS3-1
SUNDAY, 4:05 P.M.
Line: 49ers -3 (O/U 42)
The Scoop: Bucs are 11-0 ATS in their
last 11 road games vs. a team
with a winning home record.
Pick: Buccaneers
at
SEAHAWKS1-3
GIANTS3-1
SUNDAY, 1 P.M.
Line: Giants -10 (O/U 43.5)
The Scoop: Forget the trends, the
’Hawks are really bad. Bet the over
and expect a old-school beat down.
Pick: Giants
at
CHARGERS3-1
BRONCOS1-3
SUNDAY, 4:15 P.M.
Line: Chargers -4 (O/U 45.5)
The Scoop: SD is 0-5-1 ATS in last six
road games as 3.5- to 10-point faves.
Pick: Broncos
Titans at Steelers (1 p.m. Sunday)
at
PACKERS4-0
FALCONS2-2
SUNDAY, 8:20 P.M.Line: Packers -6 (O/U 53)
The Scoop: Fifty-three points is a ton
to score, even for the high-octane
Packers. Take Aaron Rodgers and
Co., with confidence to cover the six-
point spread, but make sure to bet
the under for the total. Green Bay
went 1-1 at the Georgia Dome last
season. They’ll do just fine this time
around.
Pick: Packers
at
BEARS2-2
LIONS4-0
MONDAY, 8:30 P.M.Line: Lions -5 (O/U 47.5)
The Scoop: We like the (suddenly
amazing) Lions to win straight up,
but not ATS. Aside from Week 2
against Kansas City, the Cardiac
Cats haven’t won by more than
seven — and have needed come-
backs in all three. Keep in mind,
Chicago is 5-1 ATS in last six
Monday nighters.
Pick: Bears
at
BENGALS2-2
JAGUARS1-3
SUNDAY, 1 P.M.
Line: Jaguars -2 (O/U 36.5)
The Scoop: Jags aren’t great, but
they’ve won last seven home games
in this series and are 5-1-1 ATS.
Pick: Jaguars
at
CHIEFS1-3
COLTS0-4
SUNDAY, 1 P.M.
Line: Colts -2.5 (O/U 39)
The Scoop: The Colts are favored,
but they’re just 2-4 ATS their last six
times out. That spells trouble.
Pick: Chiefs

Eagles defensive end JasonBabin was fined $15,000for a hit in the neck areaon 49ers QB Alex Smith.
He posted a tweet sayingthat if the NFL wanted toprotect quarterbacks somuch, they should “getbetter linemen.”
Later, he told reportersthat he was just being sar-castic. Still, he wouldn’tback down totally from his
comment, adding thatthere needs to be a bettersystem for determininghow fines are doled out.
“Oh, I'll call that one 15[thousand dollars], I’ll callthat 40,” Babin said.“There’s no blueprint,there’s no grid system tosay, ‘OK, this is how itworks, let’s plug it in.’”
Babin, who leads theleague with seven sacks
this season, said he plansto appeal the fine.
“I got a little upset, be-cause if you were to takeguys who played five yearsago, 10 years ago and say,‘Do you think these arefineable offenses?’ They'dbe like, ‘No, they shouldget bonuses,’” said Babin.
Babin signed a $28 mil-lion deal with the Eagles inthe offseason. METRO/MG

#1 DAILY NEWSPAPER IN BOSTON PROPER
The spiffy new black andgold banner was the centerof everyone’s attentionThursday night at the Gar-den. But it was that rattyold back-and-gold jacketthat stole the show.
The Boston Bruins’ sum-mer of Stanley Cup lovecame to a triumphant con-clusion with the raising ofthe 2011 championshipbanner to the rafters.
And the Bruins sparedno expense in the nostal-gia category, bringingback the heroes of theBobby Orr-led 1972 team— the last to win the Cupbefore last season — topresent the banner beforeits raising.
But it was the new gen-eration of hockey hero —Zdeno Chara, Tim Thomas,Nathan Horton, Brad Marc-hand — that the deliriouscrowd came to see, savingthe biggest ovation forThomas, whose ConnSmythe Trophy-winningperformance in goal car-ried the Bruins throughthree Game 7 victories, in-cluding the Finals againstVancouver.
And then there was thatjacket.
The stylistically chal-lenged symbol of Bruinsvictory, presented to a
team-voted MVP after eachpostseason victory — andhung in the locker roomwith deep emotion in hon-or of the injured Hortonduring the Finals — waspresented one more timeto one Bruin who did notplay in Thursday’s season-opener against the Flyers.
Mark Recchi, who re-tired after hoisting the Cupin Vancouver, was back inuniform to join his team-mates in raising it one fi-nal time during the pre-game ceremony.
And it was Recchi, pre-sented by Andrew Ference,who wore the jacket againThursday to the roaring ap-proval of the Gardencrowd.
There’s a new banner in therafters at the Garden Plenty ofnostalgia in the ceremony Orr’steam, Recchi on hand to celebrate

Terry Francona is not getting the White Soxjob. The South Siders on Thursday tabbedRobin Ventura as their new manager. The44-year-old former infielder was a specialadviser with the club last year. He reportedlysigned a multiyear deal.
“All My Rowdy Friends” is officially offMonday Night Football. ESPN haspermanently dropped Hank Williams Jr.’siconic tune from the show’s opener aftercomments in which he appeared to comparePresident Obama to Adolf Hitler.
Tiger Woods returned to pro golf Thursday.Like so much for him lately, it didn’t goterribly well. Woods shot a 2-over 73 inthe first round of the Frys.com Open. Hestruggled all day, calling it “one of theworst putting rounds I’ve ever had.”

Another titleshot for state’sUFC superstar
Florian has dropped big fights inthe past Is a belt finally in thecards? He’ll have to get past AldoKenny Florian has beenhere before.
Kind of.The Massachusetts na-
tive has a chance at JoseAldo’s UFC featherweightchampionship at Satur-day’s UFC 136 show inHouston (9 p.m., PPV).
It’s not the first titleshot for Florian. But it ishis first at 145 pounds —and he’s hoping it will bethe first to go his way.
The erudite contenderhas dropped two light-weight (155) champi-onship fights since enter-ing the UFC in 2005.
But in pre-fight inter-views, Florian soundedconfident he’d come outon top in just his second-ever featherweight bout.
“He’s faced a lot of op-ponents who have been in-timidated,” Florian said. “Idon’t think he’s faced any-body like me.”
