Five people were treated for injuries after an escalator stopped suddenly at Back Bay Station on Saturday. Transit police called EMS to treat riders who sustained cuts and abrasions. The escalator is still out of service, MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo said. METRO

The Bruins parade topped the MBTA’s single-day ridership record Saturday. According to MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo, 120,000 inbound riders took the commuter rail to watch the Rolling Rally. A typical weekday carries 67,000 passengers. “We ran super-sized trains with more coaches to increase capacity,” Pesaturo said. “We more than doubled the number of trains that operate on a typical Saturday.” METRO

Parade tops T rider record

You’re on the train and there’s nowhere to sit because a passenger across from you is lounging across three seats with his or her legs up. Suddenly, the guy next to you — headphones blaring — busts out nail clippers and starts to trim. For better or worse, poor rider etiquette is a fact of life on the MBTA. It’s almost impossible to avoid. From loud talkers to music-blasters, drunkards to awkward onlookers, it’s all about common courtesy, etiquette consultant Jodi R.R. Smith said. “The last thing I want to do is get to the office and find your toenail in my hair,” she said. Barriers between public and private life need to be maintained, Smith said.

Crowdsourcing What T riders on Twitter hate: @Thegoodgirl626 The awkward man that always seems to stand with his crotch directly in your face, just face the other way. @WDIPilato people often listen to their music too loudly, and the ones that do are usually the ones who are listening to really bad music @CraigNB people who chant let’s go Red Sox, clip their nails while on the train, or sit too close when there are open seats on the train. @Draillih Suburban white bros with HS sports jerseys calling other riders derogatory names on the Green Line

General etiquette Dogs are allowed on the trains, leashed, but are prohibited from annoying riders or taking up seats. Small, domestic animals have to stay in crates and away from exits. On weekdays, bikes are allowed during offpeak hours. On the weekends, it’s a bike free-for-all with no time restrictions. METRO

“If you’re a stranger clipping your nails, that is breaking those boundaries,” she said. Grooming gripes are just one example of poor

etiquette seen in public. T rider Jenn Martinelli said discourteous, crowding customers are often an issue, too. “I hate when people hover by the doors when boarding and don’t move out of the way,” she said. “Or when people don’t wait for passengers to unload before trying to get on it themselves.” Whether it’s a drunken fan falling into riders or a cyclist cramping your leg space, being considerate is key, Smith said. “Manners matter,” she said. “The way you can tell if you’re being rude is if people are giving you the old stink eye. And if someone is bothering you, just move away.” STEVE ANNEAR

The smell wafting out of the Somerville Amory yesterday was drool-inducing. Seventeen amateur cooks put their best bacon baking to the test during the Bacon Takedown. There was no cutting the fat in this friendly competition. Dishes ranged from an all-bacon fat Oreo to barbecue bacon jam and bacon arancini with garlic bacon aioli. The entrants were given 15 pounds of bacon and served a panel of judges and guests. The winner takes home a year’s supply of bacon and some kitchen equipment. The Takedown started

It’s a fairly social event.” Alecks Strub, 25, of Cambridge, won last year’s Lamb Takedown. She went with a bacon Bao Wow Asian-inspired sandwich. “I’m not artistic, I can’t sing, but [cooking’s] my

form of expression,” she said. More than 200 tickets sold out, attracting bacon fanatics from the area. Nathan Ashcraft, of Somerville, wore a shirt that read “Bacon.” However, he’s not an addict. “Passionate,” said his wife, Brea. “Instead of doing birthday cakes for him we do plates of bacon with candles.” The people’s choice winner was Strub and Frank Chen, and the judges chose Zak and Erica Walstein, who made maple bacon munchkins.

McCain rips GOP for ‘isolationism’ Calls out party’s 2012 candidates Says Reagan would disapprove Lindsey Graham echoes concerns Republican U.S. Sen. John McCain, his party’s 2008 presidential nominee, ripped into the current crop of Republican White House contenders, accusing them of breaking party tradition by preaching “isolationism.” McCain said if former President Ronald Reagan were still alive he would have been disappointed in last week’s Republican presidential debate in which candidates voiced impatience with U.S. military efforts in Afghanistan, Iraq and now Libya. “He would be saying: That’s not the Republican Party of the 20th century, and now the 21st century.

“This is isolationism. There’s always been an isolation strain in the Republican Party. But now it seems to have moved more center stage, so to speak.”

McCain made the comments in an interview with ABC’s “This Week” program that was broadcast Sunday. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who was one of McCain’s top advisers in the 2008 campaign, echoed McCain’s concerns. Asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” if he’s fearful “that there is an isolationist streak now running now through the Republican Party,” Graham said, “Yes.” “If you think the pathway to the GOP nomination in 2012 is to get to Barack Obama’s left on Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq, you are going to meet a lot of headwinds,” Graham said.

Why a Porsche wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help you find your future wife

Cruising in a luxury car will help guys get the ladies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not for long New research shows â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;flashyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spending turns off husband-hunting women GETTY IMAGES

Is a man with a Porsche more attractive than a guy in a Honda Civic? Yes, but the appeal wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last for long, according to new research. Scientists from three universities across America carried out a series of studies on 1,000 men and women on their attitudes toward 'flashy' spending and sexual attraction. They found that when looking for a future partner, women are turned off by men flaunting their material assets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If men indulge in conspicuous consumption, they are more keen on short-term relationships. They are displaying their feathers like a peacock,â&#x20AC;?

The lease will outlast your relationships with women.

sively to attract men. They saw big spenders as desirable dates but not necessarily as marriage material. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of women are not interested in only

sex. These types of wasteful behaviors turn women off long-term commitments. For a long term partner, you want the male to invest in you and your children,â&#x20AC;? Sundie says. The report, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peacocks, Porsches and Thorstein Veblen: Conspicuous Consumption as a Sexual Signaling System,â&#x20AC;? was conducted by scientists at Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rice University, the University of Texas-San Antonio and the University of Minnesota. Veblen, an American sociologist, coined the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;conspicuous consumptionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in 1899. KARIN WASTESON METRO WORLD NEWS IN LONDON

Sundie

Jill Sundie, University of Texas-San Antonio assistant professor of marketing and lead author of report

Is this universally valid?

The collected data is from varied ethnicities, but they are all American students. Many other studies found that men are more interested in shorter relationships than women. Globally, flashy behavior is always male-dominated. Athletic prowess and artistic expression is a form of that showiness. Wherever we see behavior that is expensive, there is a good chance that it has something to do with mating.

How is extravagant spending a turnoďŹ&#x20AC; for women?

Frivolous spending is not attractive because it takes energy and money away from the household. And secondly, the man might be interested in impressing other women if he continues to engage in this kind of behavior; this is also a sexual signal to other women.

Crystal Harris is having a tacky ball DENISE TRUSCELLO/WIREIMAGE

Crystal Harris was paid to go

to (and be photographed by) Wet Republic in Las Vegas this Saturday with Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt — the day that would have been her wedding day to Hugh Hefner. This is an obvious ploy for attention and a sad attempt at fame by her so I should probably not run this photo in a feeble attempt at stopping the inevitable march of various PR machines to weasel her into the public consciousness for doing nothing other than being blond, plastic and slightly shrewd for getting the elderly Hefner into the sack and then dumping him in order to create attention. But, I had to tell you this as a miracle has happened: It turns out I agree with Holly Madison on the topic! About Harris’ Saturday appearance, the former “Girls Next Door” star tweeted, “That’s disgusting.” She followed with: “And whoever booked her is tacky.” The only other upside to this is, again, for Harris: She got to spend her wedding night with balls that were actually inflated.

Why does Christina get paid more? It’s apparently costing NBC a pretty penny to get Christina Aguilera on TV, as the singer is reportedly earning $225,000 an episode for her work as a judge on “The Voice,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. Her fellow

Aguilera gets paid more: Although she was one of the most famous people on the planet five years ago, I feel like Green and Levine are the bigger stars in 2011. Or maybe I feel this way because Levine is a fine specimen of man and his abs alone should command $1 million per episode. What do you think — is this pay disparity fair? Write in!

erupt in an appreciative frenzy as Clemons blasted his signature saxophone fill. But it is the line after that which is the most telling: “From the coastline to the city, all the little pretties raise their hands.” Springsteen clearly understood the importance of Clemons to his success. And these lines are only a part of why the Big Man will live on forever. His work on songs like “Thunder Road,” “Rosalita,” “Jungleland” and “Badlands” was integral to cementing these songs as classics. Springsteen seemed to always award Clemons this respect, choosing to introduce him last when he announced the E Street Band. As a lifelong fan of the E Street Band, I had the honor of speaking with Clemons two years ago when he was promoting his autobiography, “Big Man,” which provides an account of a life that was a rewarding mix of hard times, good humor and absolutely unbelievable incidents. Towards the latter, the subtitle of the book is “Real Life & Tall Tales.” In conversation, Clemons had a learned humility about him, like he knew he had earned his place, but he still seemed slightly incredulous about his crazy life. At one point he spoke of meeting actor Sean Connery when they played Scotland. “He said, ‘I did not come to see Bruce. I came to see you,’” laughed Clemons, as he attempted to affect Connery’s Scottish accent. “And that really blew my mind.” PAT HEALY, MUSIC EDITOR

f people could be bound by antitrust laws, Ryan Reynolds might find himself on the business end of some serious litigation. Between Hannibal King in “Blade: Trinity,” Deadpool in “XMen Origins: Wolverine” and Hal Jordan in this summer’s “Green Lantern,” the sitcom star turned hardbodied leading man has created a superhero monopoly — and that’s not even mentioning the possible “Deadpool” feature in development. Sitting down to chat with the actor one gloomy June afternoon in Beverly Hills, his obvious abdominal and pectoral supremacy aside, one has to ask, what makes Reynolds

so superhero-y? “Well, first of all, Hannibal King is not a superhero,” Reynolds deadpans with his signature sardonic wit. “He’s a human being who bleeds and dies if you stab him. Deadpool is kind of an anti-hero, not a superhero. In fact, he’d probably kill you if you called him a superhero. Green Lantern — now that’s a superhero,” he grins. The 34-year-old Canadian has undeniably become one of Hollywood’s go-to action idols, a distinction Reynolds shrugs off with charming humility. “I’d like to think that I can encompass some sort of an average Joe,” he offers. “That’s what [Green Lantern] is.

More than 1 million show up for Bruins rolling rally Fans wait for hours to see the Cup, champs Police report very few problems Bruins Nation showed up in full force Saturday. About 1 million people lined the nearly 2-mile route of the Bruins’ Stanley Cup victory parade, packing roads from the Garden to Copley Square. “You guys wanted it,” postseason hero Tim Thomas said, holding the famed trophy above his head. “We got it. And we want to share it with you today.” Minimal arrests were made compared to past victory parades, and police were encouraged by the “exemplary fan behavior.” As the parade left the Garden, where some fans had waited for hours before the 11 a.m. start time, the crowd was 15 deep along the sidewalk — cheering, fist pumping and chanting: “We got the cup.” The Cup started out on a duck boat with Thomas and captain Zdeno Chara, but was rushed between boats so most of the players could hoist the 35pound trophy above their heads. The cheering from the crowd never stopped along the route as the boats passed. The loudest section

About a dozen young fans climbed on top of one bus stop shelter to get a better view. Others climbed on tress and street signs. Players spent much of the time waving to the crowd and pumping their fists in the air, all the while grinning and thanking fans. “Thank you for your hard work. We appreciate it so much,” Matt Westling, 27, of Lexington, screamed at Chara, who waved from a duck boat. MICHAEL NAUGHTON

Breaking into the insurance industry If you’re considering a career in the field, there are some ways to stand out We ask a professor what to do in college and after Kevin M. Lynch is a professor of insurance at The American College. The school specializes in preparing financial services professionals for certification in their field. Lynch is one of the foremost educators in the insurance industry, having worked in the field for 35 years and holding licenses in seven types of insurance practices. To break into the insurance industry, what degree should I

pursue in college?

I wouldn’t worry about that too much. Training in this industry is typically done after you get a job, not before. That being said, the vast majority of people are going to have degrees in business administration, business management, marketing or finance. There are some, not many, universities that actually have degrees in insurance. If you’re sure this is the industry for you, a degree in

insurance would really set you apart. A teaching degree usually provides graduates with certiﬁcation. Why can’t I get certiﬁed as an insurance agent in my college training?

In most states, you need to have a sponsoring company to even start the certification process. You can’t be a freelance insurance agent. How do I know what aspect of the industry is best for me?

company, you’re going to take aptitude tests. Nearly 100 percent of insurance companies use them. If you are not all that concerned with money, and you value your personal time more than anything else, then you’re not going to be successful in life insurance and financial services. You won’t pass the test. But that doesn’t mean you’re not suited for the industry! There are other things you can do. If you’re a number-

cruncher, you may score tremendously as an underwriter. If you’re great at helping people, you may be suited for claims. Why aptitude tests?

If you’re not cutting it in most fields, they can let you go without much loss. But if you go to work for a major insurance company, after four months they’ve invested $50,000 in you. BRUCE WALSH

4 WAYS TO NETWORK AND GET RESULTS Advice

DAN SCHAWBEL BRANDING YOURSELF IN AN UNCERTAIN JOB MARKET

etworking is a skill that’s critical to your career, regardless of your profession, industry, location or age. But a recent study by Emory University determined that 89 percent of networking encounters occur by force without the mutual content of both parties involved. You don’t want to create awkward networking situations, because they typically don’t turn into long-term professional relationships. Networking is how we get jobs, advance in our careers and live a more fulfilling life. Here's how to get started:

the types of positions at those companies you’d enjoy and where the person is located. Also, by developing your online presence and designing it based on your passion, you will inadvertently attract the right people and repel the wrong ones.

Help people out before asking for favors

If you want to build a relationship with someone else, do something for him or her first. By helping someone else out with a problem, or introducing that person to one of your contacts, you will build trust and he or she will want to voluntarily help you in return.

Research potential contacts online ﬁrst

Personalbrandingblog.com

The best way to narrow down who you should be networking with is to perform searches online, starting with LinkedIn’s professional database. Think about what companies you’re interested in,

Don’t throw business cards at people

Don’t be “that guy” and hand out cards to 100 people at a networking event. Instead, find the top five people you want to meet and spend the entire time with them. That way, you’ll actually get to know them and they will be more inclined to meet you in the future.

Let people know what you love doing

Don’t be afraid of telling other people what you love to do, because it will attract people who share the same interests. Also, if people don’t know that you’re searching for a job, how are they supposed to help? – Dan Schawbel is the author of “Me 2.0,” the Managing Partner of Millennial Branding, LLC and a personal branding expert.

In 2009, Patricia Gandara and Frances Contreras authored a sweeping assessment of academic opportunities for Latino children. Published by Harvard University Press, the findings in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Latino Education Crisisâ&#x20AC;? were quite grim: Among a complex web of problems, they found that Latinos are increasingly funneled into remedial classes and often grow up in linguistically and geographically segregated communities. But Dr. Contreras, at least, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave that sorrowful note hanging in the air without providing suggestions for change. Not even two years later, she has authored the sequel to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crisis.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Achieving Equity for Latino Studentsâ&#x20AC;? hit shelves this month, providing a series of suggestions for students, parents and policymakers to apply direct, positive change.

Costly textbooks meet their match

he average student at a four-year public institution spent $1,137 for textbooks in 2010-2011, according to CollegeBoard.com. Many students try to recoup some of that cost by selling back their books after the semester. Unfortunately, they might get only five or 10 percent of the original price, leaving them a grand in the hole. Derek Haake looked at these numbers and realized that the seller would receive more, and the buyer would pay less, if no third party were involved. He created BookDefy.com, a site that provides students with a way to exchange or sell books safely, privately and simply. “It’s a way to let students create a secondary marketplace,” Haake explains. The exchange is limited to college students: You need to have a college email address to register at

More ways for students to save:

Renting is another popular way to save money on textbooks. There are many rental sites online, many of which will rent for either a semester (15 weeks) or a quarter (10 weeks). Do some comparison shopping. While you’re comparing book prices, also look at shipping costs and procedures. Some companies make it easier than others to return books at the end of the semester.

o provide safe public places to meet, BookDefy is creating a network of exchange partners — campus organizations and local businesses that support the site’s mission. Since many exchanges take place through the mail, the site also facilitates PayPal transactions. The site launched publicly just last month, so summer school has been the first real test of the system. “We’re getting great feedback,” says Haake, “and will be ready for the big push of fall semester.” Looking beyond that, Haake is considering expansion: Reading groups and students at independent secondary schools have expressed interest.

myletters&games Shame on the media

Letters

It’s a shame that the media has had a field day with Anthony Weiner’s name and actions. At least he apologized and resigned. Maybe your editorial staff members should do the same. He’s been doing work for his constituents for two decades, but you’re a newcomer who’s onesided opinions aren’t furthering the public at large.

Sticking up for Weiner Anthony Weiner should not have been forced to resign. Sexting is not infidelity and even if it was, cheating does not impede a person’s ability to govern. I don’t want to be a hypocrite. I can’t imagine losing my vocation because of texting racy photos. John Edwards violated campaign rules. Weiner just lied about a sex scandal, which is a political mandate. It isn’t like he said, “They have weapons of mass destruction!” And that politician was reelected.

In that way everyone gets to use the word as they wish, and no one gets to own it.

Most desperate Metro’s list of franchises most in need of a title: 1. The entire state of Ohio: The Browns haven’t won a title since 1964, the Bengals haven’t had a playoff win since 1990. It’s been a dark year and existence for Ohioans. And it’s not like they can all up and take their talents to South Beach. 2. Cubs: The most tortured fan base in America and quite possibly the most cursed. (Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper and Billy Goat beats Bambino.) The Cubbies haven’t won the World Series since 1908. 3. Maple Leafs: Forbes magazine lists Toronto as the most valuable franchise in the NHL, but the Original Six member hasn’t lifted a Stanley Cup since 1967. 4. Jaguars: A Super Bowl might be the only way to avoid relocation for this sad-sack team. 5.

Star born as McIlroy destroys Open field Northern Irishman dominates tournament start to finish Isn’t the US Open supposed to be difficult?

The records Some of what McIlroy did this weekend: He became the third player in U.S. Open history to break 70 in every round. Lee Janzen was the last to do so, in 1993. McIlroy posted the lowest U.S. Open score ever through 36 holes (131), 54 holes (199) and all 72 holes (268). He was the first wire-towire champ at the tournament since 2002.

Call Rory McIlroy the Comeback Kid. The 22-year-old Northern Irishman suffered a horrific final-round collapse at the Masters this spring. His road to recovery lasted just one major. McIlroy put on a performance for the ages at the U.S. Open this weekend at Congressional Country Club in Maryland, shooting 16-under to best second-place Jason Day by eight strokes. McIlroy — who became the tournament’s youngest winner since World War II — had, by many accounts,

the best U.S. Open ever. His 16-under was four shots better than the previous best score to par, Tiger Woods’ 12-under in 2000. “The whole week has been incredible,” McIlroy

said. “I couldn’t ask for much more.” All in all, McIlroy set or tied 12 U.S. Open records — the same as Woods’ performance in his record-setting 2000 tourney. The youngster’s win was almost never in doubt. He opened the weekend with a scintillating 65 on Thursday, then shot 66 on Friday. His 68 Saturday and 69 Sunday were more coronations than competitive rounds. Day shot 65 Saturday and 68 yesterday to claim second place. Four players, including Y.E. Yang, tied for third. METRO

Rory McIlroy ran away with the U.S. Open this weekend.
