T police seek crafty robber

BOSTON. Transit police are

searching for a stealthy thief who allegedly stole $47 from a man at Quincy Center station without the victim realizing it.

The man was seated on a bench at the station last week when the robber sat next to him. He told police he felt the robber bump and brush against him before finally getting up.

The man then realized that the cash was missing from his pocket. METRO

Man’s arrest in cold case ‘a long time coming’ Former Hyde Park man faces charges in 23-year-old murder of his ex Case silent until DNA technology gave cause for arrest, authorities say NICOLAUS CZARNECKI/METRO

Police always thought Michael Coker was the one who killed his ex-girlfriend, Janet Phinney, but they had to wait more than two decades before technology was able to help them definitively link him to her death.

Authorities yesterday were finally able to bring a murder charge against Coker, 48, whose address is listed as the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital in Jamaica Plain. He allegedly strangled Phinney, 20, in 1988 when she tried to break up with him as she attempted to get clean of drugs.

Coker, who authorities said also had a drug problem, became possessive and angry, prosecutors said. He was considered a person of interest soon after the murder, but evidence then was never enough to charge him.

Phinney’s body was discovered partially covered by leaves in the woods behind her parent’s West Roxbury home three days after she was reported

Financial help Coker’s lawyer filed multiple requests for funds in an attempt to refute the prosecutor’s murder allegations: $5,000 for a private investigator $7,500 for a DNA expert $10,000 for mental health evaluations for the defendant

Coker appeared in court yesterday, 23 years after the crime he is charged with.

Bulger lawyer, prosecutors trade barbs in court filings Alleged fugitive mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger will not be arraigned until a judge decides if he can have a court-appointed attorney and both sides can agree on what charges the 16-year fugitive will face.

Bulger as prosecutors have requested, the two cases should be consolidated.

Krupp accused prosecu-

tors of trying to “game the system.” If the 1994 charges were dropped, prosecutors would not have to argue their case in front of a judge known to be tough on prosecutors.

Prosecutors said in their response filing that Krupp is judge shopping and is without legal basis.

before she disappeared.

However, the Boston Police Cold Case Squad began reexamining the murder last year and found that the DNA showed Coker had

sex with Phinney within 24 hours of her death. That contradicted his statements and helped them secure an indictment.

Phinney’s family was in court for yesterday’s arraignment. They cried during and after the hearing, at which Coker pleaded not guilty.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said Phinney’s brother, Ronald, of West Roxbury. “Justice is being served finally.”

MBTA Bus Drivers have an Outstanding Safety Record.

That fact doesn’t always get headlines in some newspapers but it does make a real difference for T Passengers

The safety record of Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) bus drivers improved again in 2009, as it had in 2008. The total number of accidents went down both years. By the most meaningful statistic (the number of preventable accidents per number of miles traveled), the MBTA averaged 1.3 accidents for every one hundred thousand miles in 2009 — a drop of more than 25 percent compared to 1.8 in 2007.

An accident is called “preventable” if it could have been averted by actions taken by the bus driver; in the vast majority (83 percent) of accidents last year involving MBTA buses the bus driver was not at fault and could not have prevented the accident. In other words, a car driver is four times more likely to make an error leading to an accident with a bus than a bus driver is likely to make an error leading to an accident with a car.

--Metro Magazine - March 1, 2010

And the record was even better in 2010 In almost 27,000,000 miles the MBTA averaged 1.0 preventable accidents (per 100,000 miles) for 2010.

“MBTA bus drivers are professional, talented and hard working men and women. They control a 40–to-60-foot-long vehicle while continuously pulling into and out of stops, operating on congested streets, driving in diverse conditions and assisting passengers.

The safety record of these drivers improved again this year.

Responsible media reported the facts, unlike at least one Boston newspaper who is running a smear campaign against T Bus Drivers.

Now you know the real story!”

The agency also reported that House Speaker Robert DeLeo is eyeing another attempt to pass gambling legislation by the end of July.

The National Council on Problem Gambling is holding its annual conference in Boston this weekend.

It is the first time the 25-year-old conference is being held in Boston.

While the Council is neutral in the debate, organizers said the timing is purely coincidental.

Improv group tells T tales through musical comedy

The details What: “T: An MBTA Musical�

Where: ImprovBoston, 40 Prospect St., Central Square, Cambridge When: June 30 through July 9 (check online for specific times, as they vary) How much: $17.50 GET MORE METRO ONLINE: WWW.METRO.US

MBTA play pokes fun at everyone A mix of ‘South Park’ and ‘Wizard of Oz’ Musical uses personal tales Anyone who has ever ridden the T has most likely had one bad experience, as Melissa Carubia has.

The only difference between her and other riders, however, is she decided to write about it.

Carubia is the musical director behind ImprovBoston’s “T: An MBTA Musical,� which launches today. “What’s interesting is it’s being performed at an improv theater but has the caliber of any musical you would see downtown,� said Carubia, who wrote the play with a friend last year.

BENJAMIN SNITKOFF

The play includes lots of singing and dancing.

Carubia, who composed 10 songs for the performance, said the play is a satire that pokes fun at both the T and the people who ride it. “We want people to realize everyone is fair game.

We are all flawed, not just the T, and we point that out in the musical,� she said.

Play director Jeffrey Mosser said it’s a solid mix of “The Wizard of Oz� meets “South Park,� with peoples’ real life experiences thrown into the plot.

That includes puking patrons on the Orange Line and excessive stopping on

the Green Line, he said.

The two-hour play follows three young T riders as they traverse the underground with an ancient map, looking for clues in search of MBTA General Manager Rich Davey, or, a villainous version of him. “I enjoy the idea that everybody has a story about the T, no matter who they are, and it comes out,� said Mosser. “We may blame the T for things but we do love it and rely on it.�

MBTA: May highest-ever ridership

woman for the T, said the last two months of daily ridership on the MBTA surpassed 1.3 million people.

Rivera said the use of real-time apps and other newly implemented programs may have played a role in the heavy ridership.

Systemwide average weekday ridership for May increased by nearly 5 percent since last year, she said. METRO/SA

Despite gas prices leveling off and college students returning home for summer, May was the busiest month ever for the MBTA, and the busiest month for bus services in almost a decade.

Boston police and Transit Department employees confiscated motor bikes from a home on Kingsdale street in Mattapan yesterday.

Motorized bike ban causes ire 15 illegal motor bikes seized from Mattapan home One resident says incident was racially motivated Less than a day after Mayor Thomas Menino declared a ban on illegal motor bikes, Boston police seized 15 of the vehicles from one Mattapan home.

Outraged by a shooting in Dorchester that left a 4year-old boy injured Monday night, Menino and BPD Commissioner Ed Davis said they enacted the ban because the bikes create a nuisance for residents.

Bikes were present at the park during the shooting but aren’t connected, police said.

But neighbors at the scene yesterday, which called for Hazmat and Boston Fire Department presence, said Menino was making matters worse.

“Here is a headline for you, ‘Black kids give all white kids their bikes for the summer,’” said Shaun, a 35-year-old resident who declined to give his last name, as he watched police haul bikes from the Kingsdale Street home.

Shaun said the motor bikes aren’t connected to violence in the city, but are a hobby that brings people together.

Legal vs. illegal What’s an illegal motor bike? According to the RMV: Any pedal bicycle which has a helper motor or a nonpedal bicycle with a motor that does not exceed 50 cubic centimeters of cylinder capacity, has an automatic transmission and cannot go faster than 30 miles an hour.

“All of this is publicity for the mayor so he looks like he is actually doing something,” he said. “All of the sudden we are a gang.”

But BPD spokesman James Kenneally said the home was serving as a “chop-shop” with hazardous violations.

Kenneally said the bikes’ owners would face a $3,500 fine, but would not confirm if arrests would be made.

The city acted on an anonymous tip from a neighbor.

In the 10 years since U.S. troops went into Afghanistan after 9/11, spending on war has totaled nearly $2.7 trillion. That doesn’t include at least $1 trillion more in interest payments coming due and many billions more in expenses that cannot be counted, according to a study.

Amid debt talks, a call for stimulus Obama pushes for new construction loans, payroll tax cut extension Warns GOP on tax breaks for wealthy President Barack Obama called yesterday for new measures to spur hiring that are likely to further complicate talks with Republicans to bring the country’s spiraling debt under control.

Obama’s call came as the International Monetary Fund and the Treasury Department urged Washington to reach a deal soon.

His push for new construction loans and an extension of a payroll tax cut could further alienate Republicans already incensed by Democratic demands for new tax revenue.

for millionaires while warning about default.

“If the United States government, for the first time, cannot pay its bills, it defaults, then the consequences for the U.S. economy will be significant and unpredictable,” he told a White House news conference, reminding Republican Party backers on Wall Street of the stakes involved.

With the country still struggling to emerge from the deepest recession since the 1930s, Obama said Congress needs to take steps to bring down the 9.1 percent unemployment rate even as it weighs medium-term austerity measures. REUTERS

Obama praises NY gay marriage President Barack Obama yesterday praised New York’s move to legalize same-sex marriage but stopped short of endorsing it himself, maintaining a stance that has frustrated many liberal supporters.

“What I’ve seen happen over the last several years, and what happened in New York last week, I think, was a good thing,” he told a news conference.

New York became the most populous state to allow gay marriage on June 24, in a high-profile victory for gay rights activists ahead of the 2012 presidential and congressional elections. REUTERS

Diana at 50:

This photoshopped image of Princess Diana at age 50 appeared on the Newsweek website, fueling debate over her zombie-like appearance. What do you think?

Busy on Twitter and Facebook, committed in humanitarian causes, remarried and living in New York: This would have been Princess Diana’s life had she been alive to celebrate her 50th birthday tomorrow.

At least, that’s according to one renowned royal commentator and another book publisher chronicling Lady Di’s life, with whom Metro spoke this week ahead of today’s commemorative date.

British-born journalist and Diana biographer An-

drew Norton believes at age 50, Diana would have America’s East Coast as her homestead. “She would probably have ended up buying a house there,” Norton told Metro. “In the last years of her life, Diana was heading west, mixing with the movers and shakers of New York City and Washington, D.C. She was spending time with big hitters, people like Colin Powell, Henry Kissinger and Anna Wintour; she was becoming a familiar fixture on the East Coast social scene.”

What if she lived?

“If she were alive today, she would still be prospering in her role as a humanitarian activist,” says Robert Sullivan, managing editor of LIFE Books who received compiled a commemorative photojournalistic book entitled “Diana at 50.” “When she died, she and (the then-UK prime minister) Tony Blair were on the verge of talking about what she could do, either officially or semi-officially for the government.” Sullivan told Metro that Diana’s willingness and attitude to help others less fortunate was evident, even in her childhood: “When we put together this celebratory book, her photographs of her child when she was very young showed her empathy as her greatest

talent.”

That attitude for reaching out for others translated later on in Diana’s life in her commitment in humanitarian causes. In 1997, she visited Mother Teresa’s hospice in Calcutta, and at the same time she visited mine-affected countries like Angola and Bosnia to raise awareness on that issue.

What would not have to go on much further than that tragic summer is the relationship between Di-

ana and Dodi Fayed, who died with her under the Pont de l’Alma in Paris: “The romance between Dodi and Diana was engineered by his father, who forced him to end his engagement to a Californian model in order to pursue the princess,” Morton believes. “It was, according to those close to her that summer, just a summer fling — the romance more in the mind of Mohamed Fayed than the princess.

She would probably have ended up marrying a wealthy entrepreneur — following a similar path to Jacqueline Kennedy, who married shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.”

What were they thinking?

NEW YORK. The most recent cover of Newsweek magazine — featuring a photoshopped image of Princess Diana at age 50, cavorting with new Princess Catherine Middleton — has created quite a stir on the Internet as news outlets and commentators alike ask: What in the world were they thinking? Editor-inChief Tina Brown has been on the defensive, making an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” to explain.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? IS THE NEWSWEEK COVER EFFECTIVE OR WEIRD AND OVER THE LINE? WRITE TO METRO: LETTERS@METRO.US

“Some people think it’s kind of spooky, and should we have done it?” Brown said. “And, you know, others think it’s very effective.”

Brown continued: “I found it really interesting to imagine what she would be doing now. ...

She loved being in the limelight, but she also would’ve really sort of professionalized all that humanitarian giving that she was doing.” METRO/BS

Timeline Princess Diana’s life: 1961: Diana was born on July 1 as the youngest of three daughters of Edward John Spencer, Viscount Althorp, 8th Earl Spencer and Frances Ruth Burke Roche.

1981: Diana and Charles got married in St. Paul’s Cathedral, in what many consider the “Wedding of the Century.”

1982: Diana gave birth to her first child, William.

1984: Her second child, Harry, was born.

1997: On the night of Aug. 31, Diana, her lover (Dodi Al-Fayed) and their driver Henri Paul died in a car crash under the Pont de l’Alma in Paris.

When asked if she was going to channel her innerMadonna for her performance, the countess laughed us off. “It’s just me having fun. The song is having fun and it’s about the jet set and it’s about confidence and beauty and elegance in the soul. There’s a little hidden message in it that I love to do. It’s a dream!”

‘Californication’ divorcication Sad news today in celebrity breakups: David Duchovny and Tea Leoni have separated, their reps confirm to TMZ. Sources tell the website that while the actors are taking some time apart, they have not yet decid-

debuted two things Tuesday night at a party thrown for her by Life & Style magazine in New York: A new music video for the song “Chic C’est La Vie” and a new blond hairstyle. Also, it should be mentioned that she was having a lot of fun.

Lots and lots of it. Heaps.

“I wanted to look glamorous and ’30s Hollywood.

I’ve always wanted to go blond and this is my big moment,” she told Metro about her haircut, courtesy of Ted Gibson. She then proceeded to dissolve into a fit of fun-mentioning. “What fun! You know, singing is a childhood dream come true and it’s so much fun and I’m having a great time. What fun to make a music video and to write music and to work on music!”

Just in case it wasn’t clear what kind of time she was having, Jacques Azoulay (de Lesseps’ French boyfriend) drove home the point: “I’m proud and happy of LuAnn because she’s having a lot of fun,” he told us before mentioning that he “wrote three words in

Will Jennifer Lopez’s greed cost her a judges chair on “American Idol”? She has said she’s “on the fence” about returning to “American Idol” next season, but sources close to the show claim the singer is simply angling for a pay hike — and it could cost her the whole gig, according to Popeater.

How wrong were they? It’s all about Steven, who’s already signed on for Season 11.”

Bringing something new to the turntable Welcome to your newest social-networking and music addiction ‘Play Music Together’ is Turntable.fm’s slogan and reason for being In the days of Napster, there was something so joyful about the “sharing” part of file sharing. Just knowing that the songs you were downloading were from the library of a user who had to be online at that moment was exciting. And this is something that file sharing sites and apps (both legal and illegal) seem to have forgotten — sorry, Ping and Pandora. But that swapping is the very principle that makes Turntable.fm spin.

Launched last month, the site had about 80,000 daily users as of last week.

If you get 1,000 people to click that they like the songs you play on Turntable.fm, then you can use an avatar that looks like Deadmau5.

GETTY IMAGES

This new online hot spot gives users that feeling of chance and opportunity that’s not only like file sharing from bygone days, but like the feeling of actually going into a record store and discovering something cool. That may be too far back for some to remember — but this site, still in beta form, is pure musical fun.

Ready to rock out Turntable founders Seth Goldstein and Billy Chasen seem to still be working out some kinks. Here’s what we like and dislike most about the way Turntable.fm is now.

Lame: You can’t upload your own pics to create your avatar.

You have to convert M4A files from iTunes into MP3s.

The music inexplicably stops every now and then.

Awesome: You can upload absolutely any MP3 in your collection.

You have access to a library of songs in the Turntable.fm database.

You can discover and introduce people to new music.

If you like a tune somebody plays, you can add it to your queue, buy it from iTunes or use it with Spotify or Last.fm.

You can’t tell from this pic, but everybody is nodding their heads.

Get a ‘room’ If you’re intimidated to try the turntables in front of a bunch of strangers, virtual or otherwise, cre-

ate your own room with a group of friends. And if you’re the creator of a room, you can actually boot people off the DJ table!

style of music as the previous person. But there’s always room for changing it up. Once one of those five people opts out, any of the users in front of the stage can jump up and take a turn. Or you can create a

room and keep it among your friends. But when you’re dealing with strangers, there’s a higher potential for discovering artists you don’t already know. If you like what you hear, you click “Awesome,”

and your cartoon character will bob his or her head up and down and the person who spun the song will get a DJ Point. If you don’t like the song, you can click “Lame.” Enough “Lame” responses yank the song and

give the next DJ the floor.

There’s also a message board where people in the room can discuss what’s playing.

When a building is your muse A ‘ghetto palace’ of a Brooklyn apartment building is the focal point of Kate Christensen’s new novel Why it attracted her — and why she won’t ever dare to even step inside of it

Christensen on the ‘Great’ award

First things first: Although the title of Kate Christensen’s sixth novel is that of a real-life apartment building in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, “The Astral” is not entirely about the rose-colored structure. Rather, it revolves around one of its residents, middle-aged poet Harry Quirk, whose wife accuses him of infidelity, and tosses him out onto the gentrifying streets of Brooklyn.

“The Astral” follows Quirk as he tries to get a second chance, with his family, career — and maybe even that old building.

You seem to like male protagonists. Why is that?

This is my third male narrator. I like to write in a male

voice as it gives me access to a wider range than a female voice. Men can get away with saying more things and remain likable; they can embody more negative characteristics. Boys will be boys and girls will be judged much more harshly.

interesting to write about and I hope it’s interesting to read about. A marriage in trouble is more fun to read about than a happy, stable one.

Adultery is a theme in “The Astral.” Why is that such a juicy topic for writers?

When I moved to Greenpoint, I lived around the corner from it. It’s just compelling; like a ghetto palace of an apartment building. There’s something comical as well, all of the bed bugs and mold and fungus and terrible renovations and bad plumbing. I heard so many stories about it and was captivated but I’ve never been inside it. If I had, I would never have the freedom to fictionalize it.

Adultery interests me in the way any social breech interests me as novelist. It makes for drama and high stakes.

Any sexual misconduct is

“It’s just compelling; like a ghetto palace of an apartment building.”

CHRISTENSEN, ON THE REAL-LIFE PLACE THAT INSPIRED HER BOOK

In 2008, Christensen won the PEN/Faulkner prize for her fourth novel, “The Great Man.”

What struck you about the Astral to make you want to write about it?

“It came out of the blue; I didn’t expect it and it added a legitimacy I didn’t have before,” she says of the life-changing award. “It’s a nice way to get attention and have people take you more seriously.”

Hollywood’s

honor roll Freddie Highmore and Emma Roberts star in ‘The Art of Getting By’ The two actors show us that not all child stars turn out to be hot messes

F

reddie Highmore couldn’t be more different from George, the overcoat-clad high school underachiever he plays in the new comingof-age film “The Art of Getting By.” “Freddie’s the genius,” teases Emma Roberts of her co-star, who began his acting career at the age of 7 and starred in films such as “Finding Neverland” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” all while maintain-

ing a normal school life.

The Cambridge University student is so into his coursework he doesn’t know if he’ll stick with acting.

“I haven’t had to make a definite decision as to if this is what I want to do for the rest of my life, so I get to put that off for a few more years,” says the 19-year-old.

“I was more like George.

I was a bit of a slacker,” says Roberts, who was homeschooled after her big break on Nickelodeon’s

“Unfabulous” at age 12.

“It’s hard to focus when you’re in your pajamas with your laptop, and there are so many other things more appealing like lying

in bed and watching TV.” It wasn’t all lounging, though: The 20-year-old avid reader did get into Sarah Lawrence College, but has deferred for now to concentrate on acting.

H

ighmore and Roberts are so down-to-earth and polite, you’d never guess both grew up in showbiz families. (Highmore’s mom is an agent and Robert’s aunt is well, Ju-

lia, and her dad is actor Eric Roberts.) Unlike other child stars, there’s no half-naked cell-phone pictures of them floating around online, they’ve never been hit with a DUI or checked into rehab. When asked about the most rebellious thing they’ve done, Highmore is stumped and Roberts talks about getting her belly button pierced as a teen.

But what’s most impressive is how seamlessly they’ve transitioned into

more adult roles.

“It’s weird when you’ve been acting since you were younger, and you’re growing up, because people have certain images of you and you’re like, ‘No, I’m not 15 anymore,’” says Roberts.

“You get to the point where you’re playing your own age, like in this movie, and it’s cool show everyone we’ve matured.”

raditionally, hotel bars are situated at either pole of a spectrum that runs from the lively and boisterous center of a neighborhood’s culture to a purgatory-like holdover for weary travelers. Naturally, every hotelier strives for the former, particularly in the past few years, where the success of pace-setters like Eastern Standard have revitalized the concept of what a hotel bar is supposed to be. One suspects that’s what Nubar in the Sheraton Commander outside Harvard Square hopes to replicate, albeit on a more intimate scale.

It’s not there yet, although it is taking steps in the right direction. At the very least, it’s a huge improvement over the space’s previous tenant, the thoroughly mediocre 16 Garden, especially in aesthetics.

Low-slung ottomans, leather armchairs and cafe tables are arranged by a fireplace for informal lounge drinking — and there are comfortable, high-backed, plush seats at the glowing onyx bar. Service is professional and courteous, but the staff seems split be-

The cocktail list is a little of each, alternating between new-old classics like a Jack Rose (unfortunately made with bottled grenadine), an Aviator variant and a Sazerac — as well as total bummers like a Pomegranate Martini and an Elderflower Cosmo (sad trombone noise).

There’s nothing wrong

with catering to a wider crowd, but they’re already a fine choice for people staying in the hotel. And Harvard Square already has enough havens for people who take their drinking seriously. They could better situate themselves to attract a younger bar industry crowd, especially if they take a page from the regularly thriving, late-night hotel bar Noir. Here’s hoping they do. They’ve got the right ideas and a nice space.

James Patterson eyes kids reading The prolific novelist has raised the stakes of modern-day publishing This time he is doing it for one of his passions — getting kids to read Best-selling author James Patterson, most often equated with being at the forefront of mass-market fiction’s dominance of the publishing industry, has this week for the first time released two books on the same day in the United States — one aimed at adults and the other at kids.

The idea, he said, is that parents will enter a book store — physical or online — to buy his new suspense novel, “Now You See Her,” and might also pick up his newest fiction for young readers, “Middle School,

Media mogul After starting out in the mid-1970s, Patterson now has 83 books published. His work has sold in some 100 countries and has been rewritten in 43 languages.

Last year, his company (James Patterson Entertainment) expanded into comic books. This year, his young adult fantasy, “Witch & Wizard,” is being made into a movie — and so is another of his books featuring popular detective Alex Cross.

The Worst Years of My Life.”

Some fans will likely praise Patterson for upping his push to get American kids reading more. But there is little doubt that skeptics may think it a plot to boost book sales.

Patterson, who began his career as an advertising guru before becoming a novelist, is a certifiable entertainment mogul. He is responsible for a record 45 New York Times hardcover No. 1s with 230 million copies sold worldwide.

Yet, he says this week’s dual-book publishing ploy

is not about sales but about exposing kids to novels.

And he claims his 17 youngreader books show he is serious about kids, youngadult books and reading.

“I am obsessed with it,” said the 64-year-old who launched his website, Readkiddoread.com, in 2008 to help parents pick kids’ books. “It’s a huge, huge problem in this country.

“But we have millions of kids in this country who have never read a book in their life.”

Indeed, 1 in 6 U.S. children do not read proficient-

ly by the time they reach the end of third grade, according to the nonprofit group Children’s Literacy Initiative.

His latest novel for youngsters, “Middle School,” which was co-written with Chris Tebbetts, is

his first book to target this age group. It aims to be a funny look at classes through the eyes of a boy called Rafe — who copes with bullying, crushes and family changes — complete with wacky illustrations.

Gay rights and wrongs RE: “PROS, CONS OF GAY MARRIAGE”: Those against

gay marriage use the Bible as their source. However, nowhere in the Bible does it mention that marriage is between one man and one woman. In those ancient times, in fact, the standard was polygamy.

New York’s vote doesn’t demonstrate a “bizarre” minority position, but how fearful and behind the times most of the country is. It’s utterly disgraceful that, in 2011, we’re still “debating” this.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. When planning your day, you should put fun and games at the bottom of your list, not at the top. By keeping your priorities in perspective, you should be able to get to do everything you desire.

Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. Although there are periods when you want to work solely on your own, there are also days when a collective effort is far more advantageous. It might be one of those times.

Are there certain kinds of extensions that are more suitable for a wedding?

How many days before the wedding should the bride have the extensions put in?

“I personally prefer using clip-ons because it allows me enough flexibility to play around with the hair. Not to mention, clip-ons are less time consuming than having the extension sewn in.�

“For people opting for fillers, I suggest having them put in two weeks in to allow hair to be “lived in,� to make it more natural looking.

[Clip-on extensions] can be put in the day of the event, assuming a trial run was done beforehand.�

A-Gonz starts in right As expected, Adrian Gonzalez was moved to right field last night, making room for David Ortiz at first base.

Neither player reached base in his first at-bat of the night; Ortiz fanned in the second inning.

Gonzalez, in right for the first time since 2005, fielded the first ball hit to him cleanly.

Lefties take the hill for Sox series finale Young stars send three-game set out with a bang Lester long great vs. Philly Hamels nearly his equal against Boston Getaway matinee GETTY IMAGES

The over-30 aces have gone. The also-rans had their turn.

Today’s Red Sox-Phillies pitching matchup might be the best of the bunch.

Jon Lester and Cole Hamels are scheduled to close the key three-game set at Citizens Bank Park.

It’s an intriguing matchup — two 27-year-old left-handers with impressive big league résumés.

And it’s one that looks likely to stifle bats on both sides.

Lester’s ERA is just 3.66 this year — mostly a result of three ugly May outings — but he’s riding a

string of four consecutive quality starts. His career stats against Philly, though, are Hall of Fame-

worthy: He’s given up just eight hits and one run in 14 innings over two starts. That’s a 0.64 ERA and a 0.79 WHIP. Hamels, who brings a sterling 2.49 ERA into today’s game, has been nearly as good against the Sox. He’s 3-0 in three career starts against Boston, with a 1.71 ERA, a 0.95 WHIP and a .197 batting average against in 21 innings.

The Sox open a threegame series in Houston late tomorrow night.

They’re finally back at Fenway Park — with a DH! — for Monday’s matinee versus Toronto. METRO

BAD BRITT: LOCKOUT LOSERS Fantasy sports

ADAM LEVITAN ALEVITAN@METRO.US

Some NFL players have spent the lockout chiseling their bodies with personal trainers.

Others have used the extra free time to scrape the rust off their favorite bong.

With a new collective bargaining agreement seemingly close, the smell of training camp is in the air. Here’s some players who lost value due to the work stoppage.

Brittle focus

Top MLB pickups

Terrell Owens was already a declining player in search of a team. Now he’s damaged goods. With news breaking that T.O. tore his ACL at age 37 this spring, he’s officially hands-off in fantasy. He’ll be lucky just to land on an NFL roster.

These rookies are most likely to have a fantasy impact right away:

1

Rookie quarterbacks It’s hard to step right in and succeed as an NFL quarterback. It’s almost impossible to do it after missing the entire offseason program. Rookies like Cam Newton, Christian Ponder and Jake Locker have fantasy upside, but are way behind the curve.

2

Kenny Britt’s off-field issues have

Owens’ tear

likely facing a one- to two-game suspension and is a poor bet to be in shape when camp gets under way.

That could lead to muscle pulls.

NBA rookie ranks

Michael Crabtree has drawn the ire of his teammates for not showing up to informal workouts. His troublesome foot is also reportedly acting up again. Down arrow here.

Antonio Bastardo RP, Phillies With both Ryan Madson and Jose Contreras on the DL, Bastardo is the shortterm option for saves.

Lonnie Chisenhall 3B, Indians Cleveland’s top hitting prospect is up and playing every day. Hit 17 jacks in 117 games at Triple-A in 2010.

An offseason without a job has been costly to Kenny Britt.

Alex Presley OF, Pirates Deep leaguers in need of speed should take a look.

Presley had 18 steals in 75 Triple-A games this year.

Kyrie Irving, PG, CLE — Baron Davis will start, but Irving will close the gap quickly and push for 30 minutes. Can score at the NBA level now.
