The unidentified woman is wanted for questioning in several of the larcenies, police said. She has been seen walking into the buildings during business hours and is believed to steal the purses and shortly after use the credit cards and cash at stores including Target.

Are these fashion plates contributing to Beantown’s bad fashion rap?

Boston’s colleges campuses are being blamed for GQ naming the Hub the worst dressed city in the country. The men’s magazine said dudes don’t know diddily when it comes to fashion, ranking Boston No. 1 out of 40 fashion failed cities, comparing its style sense to a sewer drain populated with undergraduate “hoodie-monsters.” Emmi Sorokin, a men’s image consultant and founder of It’s a Man’s World, said GQ isn’t far off. Sorokin said there is a time and place for sports gear and sweats — like a Sox game. “When you’re out and about you never know who you will meet,” said Sorokin. “So you don’t want to dress schleppy.” With a touch of education a guy can have a styl-

ish look that is no harder to put together than the hoodie-and-athletic-socks getup synonymous with Boston’s bros, she said. Last week’s Web post also said females were fault. GQ said Beantown ladies are easily impressed with the hoodie-wearing

boys that pass off sportsgear as fashion. They even pegged the city’s princesses as unfortunates “who don’t realize that leggings-as-pants were supposed to be paired with tops large enough to conceal their camel toes.” Kelsey Mason, 21, a student, said GQ’s opinion is skewed because it only looks at campus clothing trends. “Student fashion can be low, but it’s pretty upscale once you leave that age group,” she said. Sédat Firat, 32, a design consultant, didn’t let his fellow males off the hook. “In general people get more comfortable everyday,” he said. “It is becoming too casual.” STEVE ANNEAR letters@metro.us

I had terrible Acne for 3 years and tried products with Benzoyl Peroxide, Aloe Vera and others. After 4 days taking the Bell natural product #60 it started to clear up my skin. My skin changed from terrible to beautiful. Mylene Theriault, 19, Sorel-Tracy, QC In 2 days my son’s face completely cleared up of acne. My son is 15 and suffered for 3 years. We used many products like laser, Neem that did not work or burned his skin.

Latifa Boutshik, 43, North York, ON I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies.

#60 Guaranteed better than all others they used say dozens of delighted users with full names and towns on the Bell website. Works by cleansing blood inside rather than attacking skin from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated. Here are a few examples:

Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. I was skeptical about Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Eze #23.

Police resume search for missing 23-year-old man yesterday Speedboat breaks apart near Boston Light State and local police took to the waters off of Marshfield again yesterday to search for a 23-year-old man who fell overboard from a boat. It is the second disastrous boating incident this weekend in the waters off of Massachusetts. The first incident took place Saturday afternoon when one man was killed and another severely injured when the boat they were riding in near Boston Light broke apart. Just hours later, at about 8:20 p.m., the state police air wing assisted Marshfield police and fire personnel in searching for the man who fell overboard near the

Police charged the boat’s driver, Justin McDonald, 22, Saturday night with operating under the influence, WCVB reported. A backpack belonging to the missing man was located, but he was still not found as of press time.

Police are investigating why a 30-foot speedboat broke apart and capsized Saturday afternoon as it traveled near the Boston Harbor islands. The men were thrown from the boat. One of them was pronounced dead after being removed from the water and taken to shore. The second man was flown by helicopter from Hull to Boston with a severe chest injury.

Hoping that World Cup is a winner for women’s soccer in US The agonizing World Cup finish may be forgotten in a few days, but some fans and players are hoping that yesterday’s thrilling final will help raise the game’s popularity from the basement of professional sports. “So many famous people have been tweeting about it. It just helps people tune in to this game and hopefully ticket sales will go up,” said Boston Breakers midfielder Niki Cross. Cross and about a half dozen of her fellow Breakers were seated at a long table at Tommy Doyle’s in Harvard Square to watch the game. Surrounding them were more than 100 fans who threw their hands in the air with every close shot and broke into brief chants of “USA! USA!” Manager Garrett Tingle said yesterday’s game crowd was about double

UK’s top police chief quits over hacking scandal Allegations swirl that officers accepted money from News of the World to ignore hacking charges Former head of Murdoch’s papers arrested GETTY IMAGES

Britain’s top police chief resigned and the former head of Rupert Murdoch’s U.K. newspaper business was arrested yesterday over a phone-hacking scandal that has rocked pillars of the establishment. Paul Stephenson, London’s police commissioner, quit in the face of allegations that police officers had accepted money from Murdoch’s News of the World paper and not done enough to investigate phone-hacking charges. Stephenson said he did not want questions about his leadership to undermine the enormous challenge confronting the police in providing security for the Olympic Games in London next year. “I had no knowledge of the extent of this disgraceful practice (of phone-hacking) and the repugnant nature of the selection of victims that is now emerging,” Stephenson said in a televised statement.

Brooks quit as chief executive of News International, the British unit of Murdoch’s News Corp., Friday, but has denied she knew of the alleged hacking of thousands of phones, including that of a murdered schoolgirl. The flame-haired Brooks became the focus of widespread anger over the phone-hacking scandal, but was initially protected by Murdoch, who guided her rise through the male-dominated world of U.K. tabloid journalism to become editor of the News of the World in 2000 and the Sun’s first female editor in 2003.

Life at the top means stress

Alpha male baboons more prone to stress than their inferiors, study suggests Leading primates exert more energy to maintain social rank, researcher says

Those wielding power and influence are more likely to lead a “stressful” life, according to new research on wild baboons. Researchers at Princeton University discovered that alpha males among the wild yellow baboons of Kenya’s Amboseli Basin have higher levels of glucocorticoid, a stress hormone, as well as testosterone. “We found that alpha male baboons exhibit much higher stress hormone levels than beta (second-ranking) males, indicating that being at the very top of a social hierarchy may be more costly

than previously thought,” lead author Laurence Gesquiere told Metro. The study is based on the examination of fecal samples from 125 adult baboons over a nine-year period. “Life at the top: rank and stress in wild male baboons” is to be published in a forthcoming issue of academic journal Science. The baboons’ high stress levels are most likely due to the energy they exert to maintain their social

position, Gesquiere added, with alpha males being more prone to fighting and protecting their mate, as opposed to beta males. “Where high status comes with both high costs and high benefits and associated physiological stress in human or nonhuman societies, the consequences may either be a shortening of tenure in such positions or a cumulative ‘wear and tear’ that compromises long-term health and survival,” said Gesquiere.

But that doesn’t mean having a girl in the house hasn’t called for some adjustments: “Having a daughter is a whole new thing,” he says. “Having pink in the house and lilac in the house. And you have to be a lot more delicate with girls and I’m not used to that so it’s a whole new experience but it’s an amazing experience.”

His “Friends With Benefits” co-star Mila Kunis accepted an invite to the Marine Corps Ball, and now it seems Justin Timberlake will be on the guest list as well. After Cpl. Kelsey De Santis asked him out over YouTube, he accepted: “And not because she had all those beefcake military guys behind her to try to intimidate me — although that probably would have worked by it-

self. I don’t get asked out ever! So I was very flattered by that,” he tells UsMagazine.com. Justin, consider this your formal invitation to the Metro Christmas party. What we lack in open bars, we make up for in desk whiskey.

‘Engaging with the world again’ Cass McCombs on private investigators and reaching ‘Wit’s End’ Which comes first, the tune or the words?

‘Daily Show with Jon Stewart’

PAUL VALENCIA

Cass McCombs is renowned for the way he deals with the press almost as much as he is for his finely crafted songs. For a period of time, the singer and songwriter demanded that interviews be conducted via mail. No, not e-mail: actual mail. But McCombs is talking to press again, at a time when his music is so good that it speaks for itself. With his new album, “Wit’s End,” it sounds like he spent some time in the Leonard Cohen school of songwriting. The songs ease their way into your consciousness with a wounded elegance and delicate beauty. And after all the hubbub about him not being a great conversationalist, we found him surprisingly forthcoming.

TALK. Just in case you didn’t get your “Harry Potter” fill over the weekend, Daniel Radcliffe swings by fellow adorable nerd Jon Stewart’s desk tonight to talk “Deathly Hallows: Part 2.” 11 p.m., Comedy Central

‘The Bachelorette’ REALITY. Penn dental student/“Bachelorette” Ashley Hebert has narrowed it down to four suitors. Tonight, she visits their hometowns — then leaves one behind on mom’s couch as the rest head to Fiji. Ouch. 8 p.m., ABC

‘Teen Wolf’ DRAMA. Scott hunkers down to prepare for his second full moon as a werewolf. We hope he opted for the Netflix streaming package — and a sturdy dead bolt. 10 p.m., MTV MONICA WEYMOUTH

How does it feel to be talking to us press folk again?

It’s cool. I never really learned how to do it in the first place. I don’t know if you know, but my record company hired a private investigator to take photos of

I’m not kidding. … It was kind of a wake-up call to start engaging with the world again. The songs on this album deﬁnitely have the feel of somebody who isn’t used to engaging with the world. How does it feel to take those songs of solitude to people? That must be an odd transition.

Music is surprising, because there are so many different components. There’s the lyrics, which I usually find the most important. But when you add a band on top of that, they have their own interpretations, musically. And then the crowd has their interpretations. So I mean, music grows. The writing of it is just the first step. And I try to write so it implies things that excite people’s imaginations, so they create their own meaning anyway. You mentioned that lyrics are the most important to you. Do they always come ﬁrst?

Some are lyric-oriented and some I’ll just be jamming on a guitar and a word will pop into a riff that you play. Riffs are kind of like syllables, so they kind of speak to you. PAT HEALY

Slipknot singer Corey Taylor discusses ‘Deadly’ new book Corey Taylor tries to settle the argument between born bad and damaged good Yes, it has stories about life on the road, but it also makes you think counts as writing your own book, but I completely disagree. I felt I had a very relevant thing to say and I could use my own life as examples, so I can only hope that people take a lot of different things away from it than just stories of when I was growing up or stories of being on the road.

He’s led a wild life as the lead singer of hard rock bands Slipknot and Stone Sour, but Corey Taylor is also surprisingly sensitive. The 37-year-old’s first book, “Seven Deadly Sins” — dedicated to his children, wife and grandmother — is an in-depth argument for the redefinition of sin, meshed with personal stories from his childhood and career.

If you write a second book, any idea what it will be about?

DUMB THINGS COLLECTORS SAY By Robert Josephs I’m Robert M Josephs, a consumer bankruptcy attorney with offices in Jamaica Plain and Waltham. I want to share some thoughts about debt collectors with you. As a consumer, the important thing for you to learn is that they don’t have much power. As said by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Since summer is coming, I’ll lighten up a little and share some dumb things that collection agents have said to me in my years of being a consumer bankruptcy attorney. Once, years ago, I informed a Florida collection agency owner that his collection agency lacked the license required to collect debts in Massachusetts. He responded, “How can I know the laws in all 52 states?” 52? I think he missed a day in first grade. Recently, I flatly told an Illinois collector that he lacked a license to perform Massachusetts collections. He said that I was wrong, that his agency had a license. I asked for his agency’s Massachusetts debt collection license number, and he replied that he didn’t say that they had a license for Massachusetts! These guys will argue about anything - even when they are violating the law. Ask yourself whether you need to endure these people in your life. Or, would you rather take an affirmative step to be rid of them? It can be done, by considering the option of filing for bankruptcy. Call me.

Valdettaro & Josephs is a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. (617) 522-3200.

Troubleshoot an interview

BRAND X PICTURES

It’s unlikely that things will go perfectly smooth How to collect yourself and get back on your feet

obody is going to sugarcoat it: There are a million things that can go wrong on an interview. And you won’t be able to recover from all of them. Some will give you nightmares for years to come. But for other common mistakes and tough questions, there are ways to bounce back. We caught up with Lori Hourigan, a Philadelphia regional manager for specialized staffing firm Robert Half International, where they just surveyed hiring managers on the biggest interview blunders.

The problem: You’re a nervous wreck. What to do: You don’t want

to be shaking, but a little nervous energy can work for you — you’re supposed to be nervous. In any case,

it’s better than the alternative. “There’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance,” says Hourigan. “Some people psych themselves up so much that they come off as arrogant.”

The problem: You answered a question totally wrong. What to do: An unfamiliar new suit and bad conference room lighting can make you say weird things. And while you can’t un-say them, you can do some post-interview damage control in the thank you note, says Hourigan. (While she’s on it: Yes, you do need to send one.)

The problem: You don’t know the answer to a question. What to do: Have absolutely

no experience with HTML? Never wrote a grant proposal? Stop yourself before you try to gloss over it. “You can’t fudge it if you don’t know something. One of my clients is all about transparency,” says Hourigan. “The person on the other side of the desk does this every day, and they know you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s better to say, ‘I don’t know, but I’d love to learn.’”

The problem: They want to know why you’re leaving — and the answer isn’t pretty. What to do: It’s important to

stay positive and not bash your job, but also to give a legitimate answer that at least incorporates the truth. Hourigan recommends “op-

Get a grip: You can make nerves work for you. Now, as for the perfume ...

Other common mistakes Wearing too much jewelry or perfume: “We tell people it’s not a cocktail party,” says Hourigan. Being too early: “It’s important to show up on time, but if you show up an hour before, it doesn’t help — it

gets weird.” Asking about the salary too soon: “Talking about money isn’t a first-interview topic. You know what the range is or you wouldn’t be there.” Being rude to receptionist: “I’ve seen receptionists give a thumbs up or a thumbs down as they walk into an interview.”

portunity for growth” over, say: “My job is mind-numbing and I’m slowly rotting at my desk.” In this economy, it’s also OK to mention job security. “We know some companies aren’t doing well financially — you can say there’s financial uncertainty,” she says. MONICA WEYMOUTH

Thinking of heading back to school? What you need to think through first ABLESTOCK.COM

Make sure you are ﬁnancially and emotionally ready to become a student again.

Nothing makes a campus lawn seem greener than an unsatisfying job — or no job at all. “There’s certainly a lot of people who have chosen to [go back to school] in this economy,” says CareerBuilder.com advisor Allison Nawoj. But that doesn’t mean you should necessarily join them. “First ask, ‘Why are you thinking about going back to school?’” urges Natascha F. Saunders, founder of Youth Career Coaching. “If it’s just, ‘I can’t find a job,’ that’s not good enough. You’re spending so much time learning new curriculum that you’re

Master’s tip At some point, you’ll likely need a master’s degree in many ﬁelds, Saunders says. The killer question is when. “Find some key people in that sector and interview them: Do they have an advanced degree? If so, when did they get it? See some data, some facts on what is the norm, before you jump right in.”

going to be frustrated if it’s not truly a desire for you to get those additional skills.” Before you enroll fulltime: “Take a few courses to

test something out,” Nawoj encourages. “There’s all kinds of continuing-education and evening courses offered at universities,” she adds. “Instead of enrolling at a formal program, that’s a great way to get your feet wet.” Consider your study habits — are you emotionally ready? “People forget how you fall out of study mode,” Saunders stresses. “When you’ve been away for a long period of time, it’s hard to get started. But if you feel like you’re in that zone, ready to hit the books, then go for it.” DREW HINSHAW

Clayton M. Christensen is best known for the business theory of â&#x20AC;&#x153;disruptive innovation,â&#x20AC;? which he developed in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s while teaching at Harvard. The model looks to explain product developments that typically occur on the low end of the market, where market pressures force competitors to find new ways of creating a product or delivering a service. Now he wants to bring this theory to higher education. His new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Innovative University: Chang-

Steps to acing a phone interview

This seemingly simple chat is anything but Paul Bailo, CEO of Phone Interview Pro, on how to make it through the toughest type of interview Take advantage of your home court â&#x20AC;&#x153;A phone interview is like an open-book test â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have everything in front of you,â&#x20AC;? says Bailo of your resume and any written questions you have for the hiring manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing we tell people is to go on LinkedIn and have a picture of the person interviewing you in front of you. It brings it down to a more personal, human level.â&#x20AC;?

Want more expert advice? Bailoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Essential Phone Interview Handbook,â&#x20AC;? is available now.

Put down your cell phone It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much matter where you do the interview as what you do it on: name-

Play hard to get Interviewing, unfortunately, is a lot like dating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick up the phone on the first ring. For a scheduled phone interview, the second or third ring is safe. But if you miss the fourth ring, let it go to the answering machine. By the fourth, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not happy with you. Give them 30 seconds, then call them back with a business explanation. Now, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve switched modes and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll appreciate you calling them back.â&#x20AC;?

ly, on a designated landline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people feel comfortable on their office phone, some people feel more comfortable in the kitchen. But no cell phone,â&#x20AC;? says Bailo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who are looking for a job need to have a Batphone. And that phone number is only given out to people who are looking to interview you.â&#x20AC;? Be yourself â&#x20AC;&#x153;The No. 1 problem is: People arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t themselves on phone interviews. They try to be someone theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not,â&#x20AC;? says Bailo.

This is especially harmful, because the person on the other end doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any other way to relate to you. Accents, he notes, can work in your favor, because they create a point of interest for the person on the other end of the line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the phone interview, you lose 80 percent of your communication. All your social cues are gone. They only thing you have to work with is your voice. What you say, how you say it, all matter,â&#x20AC;? Bailo says. MONICA WEYMOUTH

A call to ban foie gras RE: GETTING LOST IN LOT VALLEY, 7/12: I was

dismayed to read in the travel article on Lot Valley in France that you recommend trying foie gras. The suggestion is accompanied by a photo of beautiful white ducks. Why not show readers a photo of a duck with a pipe pushed down his throat, which happens several times daily as cornmeal is force-fed into his stomach so that his liver can grow five to 10 times its proper size? The inhumane practice has been banned in many countries, but foie gras is

still served and sold locally after efforts to ban it failed. If your favorite restaurants or grocers offer it, please ask them to stop — there are delicious vegan alternatives. ROSA MICHNYA, VIA E-MAIL

ALL HOPE IS LOST Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup run ends in choke, disappointment Two blown leads against Japan too much to overcome Lose in PKs

The Americans took 21 shots yesterday to Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11. But they hit the post three times and missed the net on a number of relatively simple opportunities.

Hope Solo made another shootout save against Japan yesterday. But she was bested by counterpart Ayumi Kaihori, who allowed just one U.S. goal in PKs.

Time after time yesterday, the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup was within reach for the U.S. national team. Winning, it seemed, was as simple as burying an open shot from close range. The Americans whiffed. The U.S. blew opportunity after opportunity in the first half of the final against Japan, then gave away 1-0 and 2-1 leads on their way to a 3-1 PK loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously heartbreaking,â&#x20AC;? said U.S. striker Abby Wambach, who put the Americans ahead in extra time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Japan played well. They never gave up.â&#x20AC;? The U.S. didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, either. But the finishing failed.

The defending failed. The goalkeeping failed. And the Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dreams of a third world title ended up in a Frankfurt dumpster, trumped by Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring run in the wake of this springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earthquake and tsunami. The Japanese refused to cave after U.S. goals in the 69th and 104th minutes, equalizing in the 81st and 117th. The Americans had nothing left by the time PKs rolled around, missing their first three tries. So, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next for the U.S.? Most of the core will be back for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s London Olympics, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear how much longer stalwarts Christie Rampone and Wambach will stick around. And with teams like Japan, Brazil and France rising fast, the U.S. doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly have an easy path to a third straight gold medal. The next major competition after that is the 2015 Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup, in Canada. METRO
