Officials ID fatally shot BU grad student

Rao

The body of a Boston University graduate student was expected to be returned to his family in India today.

Kanagala Seshadri Rao, 24, of Brighton, was found about 2:30 a.m. Thursday near 112 Allston St., suffering from gunshot wounds, according to Boston police and Boston Uni-

versity.

Rao’s father, K Sudhakar Rao, is a manager at a bank in India, according to the Hindustan Times. He said he talked to his son the day before the shooting.

“My son did not have enmity or differences with anyone nor did he have any bad

habits. I cannot imagine he could be killed by anyone like this,” Rao’s father told the Hindustan Times.

An arrest has yet to be made.

The shooting rattled some residents of the usually crimefree Allston neighborhood.

In a statement, Boston Uni-

versity officials said the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident.

“Our prayers go out to the Rao family and friends,” BU President Robert A. Brown said in a statement. “We are all deeply saddened by his death.”

Police seeking petite female bank robber BOSTON. Federal agents

The woman walked in to the bank and passed the teller a note, which demanded cash. She was given cash and fled.

Told to “stop at nothing” while blanketing the city to promote the “Kony 2012” campaign, some activists crossed the line when they spray-painted the message on a Hub memorial.

Urged by the nonprofit Invisible Children, which launched the controversial 30minute viral documentary about African warlord Joseph Kony earlier this year, groups of advocates hit the streets Friday slapping stickers on T stops and plastering “Kony 2012” posters all over Boston.

The push was part of a national movement called “Cover the Night,” launched by Invisible Children, so people would “wake up to hundreds of thousands of posters demanding justice” for Kony’s actions. Kony is accused of using children as soldiers in communities in East and Central Africa.

Amidst the midnight messaging, however, some of the city’s longstanding memorials were defaced with red spray paint.

On Boston Common, “Kony 2012” was scrawled across the front of the Boston Massacre memorial, sparking outrage from city officials.

“Your message shouldn’t

overpower someone else’s message,” said state Rep. Carlos Henriquez. “That’s a memorial for people to recognize, and to use that as your platform — I understand guerrilla marketing, but there is a line of respect.”

More than 2,000 people “liked” a Facebook page called “Cover the Night Boston.”

Participants posted pictures of plastered posters on the fan page during the event over the weekend.

Some members wrote that they were meeting on Boston Common, where the graffiti was found.

Similar graffiti was reportedly found on a WWII memorial in Worcester.

Henriquez has been working on ways to curb graffiti in the city, to separate art from vandalism.

City officials said they would work with police and the “Graffiti Busters” program to remove the paint.

Supplying the supporters Invisible Children, the nonprofit group behind the Kony 2012 initiative and Friday’s “Cover the Night” movement, posted a video on its website and YouTube page telling participants to take action by placing the propaganda on public property.

According to a police report, officers were called to Boston Common on Friday for vandalism in progress.

When police arrived, fliers for “KONY 2012” were posted throughout the Common on park benches, fences, street light poles and monuments.

They found spray paint on the monument and the sidewalk leading to the Sailors and Soldiers Monument in the center of the Common, according to reports.

Two fliers were sent back to police headquarters for investigation after police failed to find the alleged taggers. METRO/SA “And I am sure police will be looking into the circumstances around it,” said Dot Joyce, spokeswoman from Mayor Tom Menino’s office.

“We will do much more than create awareness. We will advocate globally, we will serve locally, and we will turn this digital revolution into a physical one when we hit the streets,” the promoters wrote.

The group even provided “action kits” to activists, prior to Friday’s event, filled with posters and stickers.

A disturbing video recently posted online shows a man sucker punching an older man at Boston Common and a group of youths robbing the apparently unconscious victim.

The video was posted by various people on YouTube. According to the descriptions and a person there who provided images to Metro, the assault occurred just before 6 p.m. Friday.

Video shows the man walking around the Soldiers and Sailors Monument on a hill near Frog Pond. The spot was a gathering point for dozens of people who attended a spontaneous marijuana rally on April 20. The date is observed by some as a day to celebrate marijuana use.

The unidentified man is shouting as he walks around the monument.

“He’s a racist? Then get him the [expletive] out,” the man shouted as he approached the group. The older man then walked up to an unidentified young man.

“You calling me a racist, man? You better [expletive] relax,” the young man said.

The two confront each other for about 45 seconds before a third man, who was crouching behind the young man, punches the older man in the face.

The older man fell back-

Another young man ran up and went through the man’s pockets while another person sprayed a bottle of water on the man’s shorts.

Boston police said yesterday that they have not received a report of the incident; however, there were walking beats in the Common that day.

A police spokeswoman said they would like to see the victim come forward and file a report.

While the descriptions of the videos posted online said the assault occurred during “Hempfest,” also known as the Massachusetts Cannabis Reform Coalition’s Freedom Rally,

ccording to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, nationwide nearly 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men have been raped in their lifetime, and more than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men have experienced other forms of sexual violence and unwanted sexual experiences. These statistics are similar at the state level, here in Massachusetts.

While rape and sexual assault can be difficult issues to discuss, it is essential that we have this conversation because everyone has a role to play in prevention. For example, Quoted the MBTA is raising awareness through public service advertise“I encourage ments to notify potential perpetrators that law enforcement you to take is paying attention, and encourage time this riders who are assaulted to month and contact the police.

US lawmakers say more Secret Service employees may leave

U.S. lawmakers said they expect more Secret Service employees to leave amid a widening investigation of a prostitution scandal involving agents sent to Colombia ahead of a visit by President Barack Obama.

Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican who is chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, and Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said they expect the investigation to extend beyond the six agents who have already left.

King

“I think we have some bad actors here,” Cummings of Maryland said during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” today. “I don’t think that we judge the Secret Service by its weakest link.”

The Secret Service and Congress are investigating an incident involving agents who allegedly consorted with prostitutes at their hotel in Cartagena, Colombia, while preparing security for Obama’s visit this month for a trade and economic summit. Six employees left the agency following the incident, which raised questions in Congress about whether it was an isolated incident or a glimpse of broader misconduct that might have put the president’s security at risk.

For complaints, suggestions and digital attaboys, e-mail us at brayden.simms@metro.us.

Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney made enemies of at least one prominent anti-gay conservative this week over his selection of openly gay Richard Grenell as a campaign spokesman. By doing so, the Romney campaign made a subtle admission: It’s not overly worried about far-right fringe voters. At this point in the election, Romney et al are firmly courting the center.

Grenell, a dedicated Republican who has worked with former UN ambassador (and conservative warrior) John Bolton, fought and lost a battle for legal recognition of his same-sex partner. Bryan Fischer of the

American Family Association — a talk radio host popular among the religious right — was crystal clear in his disappointment with Grenell’s hire this weekend.

“Romney picks out & loud gay as a spokesman,” Fischer tweeted. “If personnel is policy, his message to the pro-family community: drop dead.”

There may be some truth in that. Of course, Romney doesn’t want any voters — certainly no Republicans, that is — to drop dead. But it’s also true that, regardless of what he says or whom he hires, polls show Romney carrying the rightwing, even a majority of those who have been crying fowl for months over his allegedly moderate credentials.

The Santorum and Gingrich

President Obama is running against the economy; Mitt Romney is running against Obama.

voters held out for a while; but following Santorum’s campaign suspension, the numbers bounced back well into Romney’s favor. A Gallup poll from last week found Romney holding 90 percent of Republican voters, with President Barack Obama holding 90 percent of Democrat ones.

The election, these numbers say, belongs to the center.

Hence the courting of independent minds and the relaxing of far-right dog whistles.

For many conservatives, the most important issue at stake in November is defeating Obama. With no real remaining competition, Romney could probably claim these voters even if he came out himself.

It’s time to talk about

INFERTILITY A

house. A car. A career. A spouse and 2.5 kids. Should you choose to live conventionally, you probably spend your days in pursuit of all of the above.

Most are within your control.

If you want a car, you save and buy one. If you want a spouse, you have a drink, and then meet friends of friends. But the 2.5 kids — what happens if your body can’t produce a child?

Infertility is something you don’t hear a lot about, among people in their 20s, but Infertility Awareness Week aims to get more people accepting of the issue. Barbara Collura, executive director of RESOLVE, The National Infertility Associ-

Quoted

“The moment someone finds out they can’t reproduce, they feel let down by their body.”

COLLURA

ation, says there’s a stigma and shame attached to infertility that’s prevented it from being discussed properly. Anyone in the AIDS world will tell you how 25 years ago people thought it was contagious— now, everyone speaks about it,” she says. “But with infertili-

ty, we haven’t gotten to the point where people are ready to open up.” Until society normalizes infertility, don’t expect to see people running marathons shouting “woo hoo! I’m infertile!” she warns.

So why is infertility such a sensitive subject? One reason: Because it revolves around sex.

“The moment someone finds out they can’t reproduce, they feel let down by their body. The way they see it is that it’s not performing the way it ‘should’ be,” explains Collura, who also believes that getting people talking about their reproductive system the way they do about sex is the only way to increase public awareness.

Giuliana Rancic, the 37-

year-old ‘E! News’ personality and reality star, is one of the rare celebrities to have opened up about her battle with infertility. Rancic and husband Bill’s journey into parenthood and attempt at in vitro fertilization was aired on their reality TV show “Giuliana and Bill” and watched by millions of people worldwide. The show took a dramatic twist when Rancic was diagnosed with breast cancer, further jeopardizing her chances of becoming a mother.

It’s Infertility Awareness Week A look at how the condition is perceived by people ready to have kids had heard about it,” says Collura. “This is not where we want people to be getting this sort of information, but at least they’re getting something.”

So where else should those afflicted go for information?

Facebook. Twitter. Blogs like The Infertility Voice, whose founder wrote the column on this page. Social media often allows you to be anonymous.

“You could be in the place where you are willing to share your story but not your name,” says Collura. Either way, it’s the conversation that’s important.

How to cope If you’re feeling sad: The endless waiting and hoping has left you feeling irritable, lethargic and extremely sad: Write down a list of all the good things you do have in your life. This will help you visualize your strengths, and forget your weaknesses.

If you’re feeling angry: The fact you can’t get pregnant makes you feel helpless and vulnerable: Don’t let this anger consume you. Aerobic exercise such as running or swimming can help relieve some of the accumulated tension. Relaxation techniques such as yoga can also help you clear your mind.

In 2010, 47.7 percent of women fell pregnant after IVF cycles.

If you’re feeling guilty: If repeated attempts at pregnancy have been unsuccessful, you may start to believe that what’s happening to you is your fault: It’s hard to accept that your body is out of your control. Acceptance is the only way to realize you’re not a failure and that you can’t go on blaming yourself.

Top infertility treatments

When was the last time you stopped to think about why you believe in evolution?

First-person

‘I have good days and awful days’

IUI (intrauterine insemination) is the placing of sperm into a woman’s uterus during ovulation. Lower tech, less intrusive methods such as IUI are becoming increasingly popular but their success rate depends entirely on the initial cause of the infertility.

Clomid is a widely prescribed and inexpensive pill helps women get their ovulation in synch. Clomid tricks the body into believing estrogen levels are low, leading to the release of more eggs. It is one of the most successful fertility drugs.

Adoption can be costly and challenging in many ways and its success is hugely dependent on external factors: Should you adopt domestically or internationally? How long are you prepared to wait? Are you mentally able to consider another’s child as your own?

“You’re so young.”

I hear this a lot. A subtle implication treads coyly between each word: “You’re so young ... so it should be easy for you to get pregnant.”

But the truth is, for me and 7.3 million other Americans, it’s just not that easy. There’s nothing easy about infertility. What doesn’t help are the many assumptions people make: that infertility only affects older women who put their careers first; that if we only “just relax,” we’ll conceive at the drop of a hat; that we’re selfish for pursuing fertility treatments when we should “just adopt.”

It’s no wonder then so many people facing infertility suffer in silence. I was 26 when I found I was infertile.

Relaxing won’t reverse my disease and there’s nothing selfish about wanting to have my own children.

I’m just like any other neighbor, co-worker, sister or friend out there: I’m just

infertile. I have good days and I have really awful days.

So while I wait, I share my story. I talk about what it means to be infertile, how it aches and how I remain hopeful. I speak out because I’m tired of being silenced by assumptions that undermine the very real, very valid experiences of infertility patients nationwide.

I speak out because I want everyone to understand what infertility is really like. I speak out to end the silence, to help erase social stigmas surrounding infertility because stigma breeds shame. I have no reason to be ashamed: I just have a disease. And if you have infertility, you have no reason to be ashamed, either.

THE WORD

Metro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip

Checking in with some of Hollywood’s biggest names to see what they’ve been up to — in their own words, in 140 characters or fewer.

Oh hey! Look who it is: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West,

Today, Elizabeth Banks isn’t feeling too well, Jeffrey Ross doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about, Elayne Boosler knows the real story and Albert Brooks is planning ahead.

@realjeffreyross What’s the point of being in the Secret Service if you can’t take advantage of any secret services? @ElayneBoosler “Huffington Post Wins Pulitzer.” Actually, another paper won the Pulitzer, Huffpo just posted a copy of it. @AlbertBrooks Bought two hundred thousand Twinkies today in case they go bankrupt. They keep, right?

Cher wigs out at GLAAD Awards Chaz Bono won big on Saturday at the GLAAD Awards. He shared the award for Outstanding Documentary for his film “Becoming Chaz” and was honored with the Stephen F. Kolzak Award as well. Mom Cher was there to cheer him on.

just out for a stroll in one of the most crowded cities in the world, in broad daylight, on a Saturday afternoon, in front of a barrage of photographers.

They are doing a great job of keeping this totally legit burgeoning relationship on the down low, am I right?

According to Us Weekly, the two media lovers browsed the racks at the Chelsea shop Balenciaga and then stopped for an ice cream cone at the Van Leeuwen ice cream truck.

It’s getting so “serious” (aka: completely generated for publicity) that West had dinner with Kim, her mother Kris Jenner, sister Khloe and brother-in-law Lamar Odom at the Spice Market restaurant in the city’s Meatpacking District, per RadarOnline.

Expect to see this entire weekend on the E! network soon as “Kim’s Fairytale Dinner: A Kardashian Event.”

Talking points Mulligan becomes a Mumford It’s official: Oscar-nominated actress Carey Mulligan and musician Marcus Mumford are married, having tied the knot in front of 100 guests on a farm in Somerset, England, according to Us Weekly. Among the guests were Jake Gyllenhaal, Sienna Miller and Colin Firth. “They’re a great couple,” a source tells the magazine. “Very sweet.”

Mulligan and Mumford, who were pen-pals in their youth,

had been dating for five months when the Mumford and Sons frontman popped the question last August.

tained the surveillance video from the Smoke & Mirrors nightclub at The Standard Hotel and it clearly shows that Lindsay was there on the night of the alleged assault,” a source says. “The investigation is still ongoing and follow-up investigators want to interview Lindsay about the incident, but she hasn’t been interviewed yet, nor is she under any obligation to do so.”

Lively and Reynolds head to the country It looks like there was something to those reports that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively were house-hunting in the suburbs outside New York City. The cou-

ple “bought a beautiful country home” in Bedford, N.Y., according to People magazine. “The house costs more than $2 million,” a source says.

An Italian wedding for Timberlake?

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel just finished a five-day trip to Italy, prompting speculation about the location of their upcoming wedding, according to Us Weekly. After hitting up Rome, Naples and Capri, the couple reportedly paid a visit to the southern town of Bernalda — and more specifically the wedding venue where Sofia Coppola tied the knot last year.

Looking for some sound decisions Where most music conferences like SXSW focus primarily on performance showcases, Rethink Music is an industry conference for the professionals.

Sponsored by Berklee College of Music, the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, Babson College and midem (the yearly trade fair for the music industry in France), this conference focuses on establishing a discourse between people involved in all facets of music.

Their mission is to figure out how to push the industry forward, something that desperately needs addressing in the ever-evolving technological advancements of the digital age.

“We’re trying to bring thought leaders together,” explains Allen Bargfrede, who is the executive director of Rethink Music for Berklee College of Music. “By bringing [music industry] stakeholders, academics and students together, we can help to look forward.”

Leaders from industry inno-

Deconstruct and build again This past weekend, Rethink Music was in full force.

Hacker’s Weekend took over Microsoft’s N.E.R.D. Center in Cambridge, where 75 hackers worked on creating new and unique music-related apps.

Yesterday at the Berklee Performance Center, the Music Deconstruction Experience featured Berklee profs Stephen Webber and Pat Pattison giving musicians clinics on songwriting and production.

“A lot of music conferences focus on what went wrong,” says Rethink Music project manager and booker Ardie Farhadieh.

“Between Hacker and Deconstruct, our focus is on the future.”

vators like YouTube, Spotify and Nokia share the same platform as musicians like GZA from Wu-Tang Clan, speaking on hot button issues like the future of the cloud, how to stay relevant as an artist and “The Musical Ecosystem in 2015.”

One especially relevant participant is Karmin, the duo of Berklee alums who recently used their overnight YouTube megapopularity to catapult them into a musical guest spot on “Saturday Night Live.”

Another example of the bold approach to Rethink, this morning, social media guru and author Seth Godin gives the keynote address, simply titled “Making Something Happen.”

“All musicians are entrepreneurs,” says Bargfrede. “We wanted someone outside of the music industry to give their thoughts ... and open outside of the box.”

HAIL TO THE

BILL GRAY

‘VEEP’

The less-than-flattering moments of our ‘perfect’ politicians are examined in the new HBO comedy Star Tony Hale is a member of the vice president’s dysfunctional staff who will do anything for his boss

T

ony Hale’s latest role finds him in an unhealthy, codependent relationship with a domineering woman. He is neurotic, but smart. And we’re not even referring to Hale’s reprisal of Buster Bluth on the new episodes of “Arrested Development� slated to hit Netflix next year.

Before he straps on Buster’s prosthetic hand (bit off by a seal, fans of “Arrested� will recall), Hale appears as another lovable loser: Gary Walsh, the personal aide to vice president of the United States Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), on HBO’s new political satire “Veep.� (Armando Iannucci, the man behind the razorsharp political commentary, “In the Loop,� created the show.) “With Buster’s social anxiety, if he were placed in Gary’s situation, he would be committed [to a mental institution],�

Hale says. Meanwhile, we learn through the sitcom’s documentary style that Gary thrives under pressure, ready at a moment’s notice with whatever

Politicians are humans, too Behind closed doors, Vice President Selina Meyers and her team behave badly — very badly. But the more preposterous the situation they find themselves in, Hale hypothesizes, the more truthful it seems. “Especially in this election year, there’s so much posturing [on the campaign trail], there are so many perfect sound bites. There’s so much

his boss may need — be it a conversational factoid on the politicians she may be chatting with or hand sanitizer. “Gary is very, very efficient,� Hale says. “He carries around this bag with all of Selina’s stuff, everything from an extra pair of shoes for her to — if needed — a letter of resignation.�

That letter of resignation would be for Selina, Hale clarifies, because without his job, Gary would be lost. “If somebody were to come up to him and say, ‘You’re fired,’ I think he would fall apart,� Hale says. “He’s a guy who should have left his job in his 20s, but the fact of the matter is his identity is wrapped around Selina. He pretty much worships her. I have a feeling that his mother has been carried over into Selina, so I’m sure there are a lot of childhood wounds that are being played out.�

Mama Bluth would be so proud.

presentation, and one person cannot be that positive and mechanical and perfect all the time,� he says. “They have to have a breakdown; they have to go behind the scenes and scream at somebody or lose their mind or get insecure, cry or whatever, and I love that this show shows that. It shows Selina putting on her happy face — and then she goes behind the scenes and just screams at the top of her lungs. It shows their humanity.�

Greta Gerwig loves the smell of Polo Sport

Season finale, 9 p.m. Logo

The indie actress also explains why she automatically presumes women who wear Clinique Happy are cool Though her latest film is called ‘Damsels in Distress,’ she is anything but Greta Gerwig is trying to find a picture of Diane Keaton on her iPhone.

“I like the way her hair is,” she says with her eyes still focused intently on the screen in her hand. “I always get overdone for events and so I’m trying to look myself. I wanted to find a good example of Diane Keaton hair because she just had simple hair. It was never like, ‘wooosh,’” she says, making a big sweeping motion over her head.

As one might guess, spending time with Gerwig feels

much like visiting with an old friend. Her calm, open demeanor is disarmingly familiar. It’s telling that of all people, she’s trying for Diane Keaton’s ’do — as the two seem to have kinship for playing fidgety, awkwardly charming women.

Known for her roles in tiny indie films and, more recently, in broader releases like “Greenberg” and “No Strings Attached,” Gerwig is currently promoting “Damsels in Distress,” which was written and directed by Whit Stillman after

his 12-year sabbatical from filmmaking. She plays a fussy college coed, convinced that

They’re both very specific about their scripts — they want all their words said exactly as they wrote them. They do not want you to improvise. And they are tireless in terms of getting exactly the kind of performance that they want.”

shower more often. She’s not wrong, really.

And though Gerwig and her character, Violet, don’t have too much in common, they do share strong emotional and olfactory connections.

“When I got to high school, every boy wore Polo Sport to all the dances,” she enthuses.

“To this day, Polo Sport still is one of my favorite smells because you never have crushes as intense as you have in high school and the smell of Polo Sport — it’s kind of gross — I love it.”

And if you’re looking to befriend Gerwig, there’s one goto scent that will reel her in.

“All the girls wore Clinique Happy — and there was something about the way that that smelled — even today if I meet a girl who is wearing Clinique Happy, I’ll be like, ‘Oh, she’s really cool,’” Gerwig says, dead serious. “It has something to do with, ‘All the cool girls wear Clinique Happy.’ These scents stay with us.”

A REAL

WISE GUY

Co-director Peter Farrelly explains why he and brother Bobby revived ‘The Three Stooges’ and offers clues about the sequel to ‘Dumb and Dumber’

Other directors might not be brave enough to attempt to top what is already a classic, but directing team Peter and Bobby Farrelly, known for their monumental success with films like “There’s Something About Mary,” were unafraid of tackling one of the most iconic comedy teams of all time. But Peter Farrelly says taking on Larry, Moe and Curly was not as much of a no-brainer for the studios.

How did you decide that the moment was right to update of “The Three Stooges”?

Now was the moment because the studio gave us the money.

For 10 years, they were like, “No f—in’ way. We’re not doing it.” It was [about] trying to convince the studio that you could take these characters from 70 years ago and put them into a present-day setting and make it work.

There were so many rumored cast members — everyone from Sean Penn to Woody Harrelson.

Once you settled on Sean Hayes,

characters this time around?

Larry (Sean Hayes, center) intercepts a Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos) finger-poke, as Curly (Will Sasso) winces because he knows he’s next. © 2012 TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION

Chris Diamantopoulos and Will Sasso, did you change the script to suit them better?

We never write around any cast. The character is the character and then the actor has to come in and fit the bill — in this case, probably more so than ever. We wrote for Moe, Larry and Curly and we wanted them to be exactly Moe, Larry and Curly and that was one reason why it was so hard to get actors. That was sort of intimidating to a lot of actors.

Can you talk about casting Larry David as a nun?

Larry David plays Sister MaryMengele. Larry is probably the most influential comedy figure of the last 25 or 30 years. We’re huge fans and we wanted to get him in the movie. That was the role he found interesting. He could’ve played the dog if he wanted to. We just wanted him classing up our project.

The sequel to “Dumb and Dumber” has been announced.

Where do you want to take these

Before “Dumb and Dumber” came out, if I told you what the story was, you’d be like, “Do not make it. Do not waste your time.” All I can say is that it’s not the type of plot that I can make sound good. It’ll sound like s— but trust me, it’s the exact same guys doing more of the same stuff, but we don’t want to give anything away.

How did it come together?

We’ve never done a sequel and the only movie that we ever wanted to do a sequel to is “Dumb and Dumber.” There’s no growth in these guys, and you could do it over and over, and we could do it in our sleep.

We always wanted to do it, but Jim [Carrey] wasn’t ready until now. He saw it a year or so ago on video and he laughed his ass off and he was like, “This is what I want to do. I want to make people laugh hard like we did then.”

Big-picture thinking can make all the difference Author Ginny Whitelaw on ‘Leading Fearlessly’

Inviting Zen into your career path

Advice

DAN SCHAWBEL BRANDING YOURSELF IN AN UNCERTAIN JOB MARKET

WHEN FACEBOOK FRIENDS BECOME CO-WORKERS

GETTY IMAGES

COMSTOCK

Last night is a quick click away from becoming office gossip.

A

new study by Millennial Branding and Identified.com of four million profiles uncovers that Gen-Y (ages 18 to 29) is inadvertently using social media profiles as an extension of professional personalities. While 64 percent of Gen-Y workers fail to list their employer on their profiles, they add an average of 16 co-workers each to their “friend” groups.

What's more, they spend an average of just over two years at their first jobs, meaning there’s almost a guarantee that their Facebook audiences are full of potential new coworkers.

Here are three tips on how to navigate your Facebook account knowing this:

A sense of oneness goes a long way when it comes to leadership.

O

ver the last 30 years, Ginny Whitelaw has been attempting to integrate her study of Eastern philosophies with her career in business leadership training. As the co-founder of Focus Leadership, Whitelaw brings her Zen leadership training into offices across the country. Her latest book, “The Zen Leader: 10 Ways to Go From Barely Managing to Leading Fearlessly,” will be released this week by Career Press.

What can Western business cultures learn from Asian business cultures, and vice versa?

Western business leaders are generally at a level of development characterized by rationality and short-term, Wall Street

Western cultures. However, speaking in general terms, Western cultures approach business through the eye of the individual, and Eastern cultures through the needs and norms of the group. As a result, in Eastern business cultures, it is at times harder to bring your full creativity to work.

How do Zen terms like “Small Mind” and “Big Mind” apply to business leadership?

Asian cultures tend to take a longer view, and think more systemically. The entrepreneurial spirit is certainly alive and well in both Eastern and

Small Mind is looking at things from an ego perspective. It’s our usual way of thinking, which is unconsciously centered on our self and our needs and fears in the situation. Big Mind is “disappearing” into the situation, becoming one with it, and using our personality to serve others.

Q&A How can a leader work toward the “flip in consciousness” that you describe in your book?

You have to work with the body. One can actually feel the difference between, say, tension and extension in the body. One’s sense of self becomes larger, freer and more agile, leading to the ultimate flip from delusion to awakening. Once we experience ourselves as a part of — not apart from, fearlessness arises.

BRUCE WALSH

bruce.walsh@metro.us

Decide if you want to add co-workers and managers on Facebook or not. If you don’t, then start a professional page and block your personal profile from search. This way, your coworkers will only find and friend your professional page.

Filter yourself Since you may end up with co-worker friends regardless of who you add or not, it’s important to keep in mind that everything you post could become public. Don’t say anything you don’t want a potential future co-worker to see who might turn your remark into office gossip.

Control tagging In the privacy menu, go to “Timeline and Tagging” and set your settings so that you must approve all tags before they publish on your wall. Also, turn off the setting that allows anyone to post on your wall. By doing this, you have more control over how you’re perceived on Facebook.

It could be the small uptick in the economy. It could be the fact that jobs that didn’t exist before — think IT and social media managers — are ever increasing. Whatever the case, midcareer changes aren’t all that unusual anymore. While it helps to research which industries have room for crossovers, the process begins with knowing you want a fresh start. “What I have realized is how important it is to really figure out what it is that you want to do before transitioning,� explains Lauren C. Lilling, who went from finance and investment banking to opening Keep it Sweet Desserts, a catering and delivery bakery based outside New York City. “It can be a huge financial risk and very stressful and you truly need to believe in what you’re doing.�

Don’t have the cupcake itch? Consider moving into an expanding field. Career networking website LinkedIn recently teamed up with the Council of Economic Advisors to analyze industry growth from 2007 to 2011. Among the fastest-growing industries is social media, which includes positions you may see cropping up more recently on job boards, such as social media managers.

Packing it up? Just know where you’re going — then enjoy the ride.

Not surprisingly, IT and health care were also among the industries expected to expand, and they have plenty of room for those looking for a change. “Some of the skills required to succeed in these industries can be acquired in others,� explains Uva Coles, dean of career management services at Pierce College. “In other words, many career changers can leverage transferable skills and experience like accuracy, attention to detail, data entry, coding and medical terminology.�

You need to look inside yourself in order to make room for growth Jonathan Alpert identifies the hindrances to long-term success

T

omorrow is a really big day for me: My book, “BE FEARLESS: Change Your Life in 28 Days,� hits bookstores. Years ago, I never thought this would have been possible, especially as I was once so bad at writing that my seventh grade teacher called my parents out of concern. I share this with you because it brings me to the heart of my book: change.

Change is possible. Yet, to many, change is elusive. People stay stuck and they allow fear to get between them and what they truly want. They’ve been looking for a shortcut — a way to get what they want without having to face their fears. Here are the most common ways people keep themselves stuck, either knowingly

No more drama JONATHAN ALPERT WWW.JONATHANALPERT.COM

or unknowingly:

Waiting Rather than being proactive and taking the initiative, people spend time hoping that the right person will magically walk into their life, that the job promotion will just materialize or that their spouse will suddenly start behaving in a less irritating way. If you wait for your dreams to unfold, they will remain dreams. If you take action, you’ll turn your dreams

into a reality. “BE FEARLESS� will give you the courage to take that initiative.

Wishing Wishing for things doesn’t create change. For that reason, I am not a fan of “The Secret� and the so-called Law of Attraction on which it is based. I can’t tell you how many clients came to me after they wished and wished for better lives — only for their lives to continually get worse. “BE FEARLESS� teaches you how to stop wishing and how to start living.

able. “BE FEARLESS� will teach you how to stop focusing on what you can’t control and, instead, to put your energy into all of the things you can control. You can control what you say and do. It’s not as easy to control what others say and do.

Waiting, wishing and blaming will not lead you to the life you really want. What will?

Taking action. The “BE FEARLESS� program will show you just how to do that. – Jonathan Alpert is a licensed psychotherapist. His new book, “BE FEARLESS: Change Your Life in 28 Days,� is out April 24.

To fix environment, elect green leaders Thank you, Metro, for your fantastic Earth Day edition this weekend! Not only was it informative and empowering, it was also a pleasure to read.

But there was one really important thing missing from your checklist of ways to go green, however: Voting for pro-environment leaders.

While we can all make positive changes in our personal lives, many environmental challenges are just too great to face alone as individuals.

We need environmentally minded elected officials at all levels — federal, state and city — to truly transform our world for the better. The winners of this year’s presidential, congressional and state legislative contests will decide the fate of our environment for years to come.

“Studies have found that more than half of all women report problems getting health care.”

For some women, $25 may not seem like a lot of money.

It’s two movie tickets or dinner with friends. For others, $25 can make the difference between whether or not they can afford to go to the doctor for an annual wellwoman exam. Studies have found that more than half of all women report problems getting health care (e.g. not filling a prescription or skip-

ping a medical test) because of cost. Thanks to the Obama health care law, many women’s preventive health services, like pap smears and mammograms, are now available without a co-pay.

Give Obama a break; Romney’s worse

Government can’t even run a budget

If you look all over newspapers all you see is bashing of President Obama. How about we look at the fact that he is trying his best to help the lower-middle class and middle class to live a comfortable life? Would you rather give President Obama another chance or Romney, who doesn’t have sympathy for the middle class at all?

RE: “IF YOU WANT TO SEE AN ECONOMY WITH NO GOVERNMENT REGULATION, GO TO SOMALIA!”:

It is sad to see citizens do not know the proper role of government, especially the federal government. This is, no doubt, the result of a lack of proper education of the U.S. Constitution stemming from the government-run schools.

The feds cannot even balance a checkbook, but Ms. Kourian will make every excuse for government largesse. So-

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Instead of insisting that everything go your way, you should strive to be cooperative with others. If you don’t and something goes wrong, you’ll have to accept all the blame.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. It’s to your advantage to tell things as they really are, without stretching the facts just to make your story more colorful. Even tiny embellishments could cause trouble.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Although normally you’re a pretty generous person, you might be hesitant to part with anything of value unless you are guaranteed to get back something in return.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. You’ll only hamper your chances for success if you do something that you would later regret merely for pride’s sake. Don’t let vanity or presumption get in the way.

Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. If you want to have your views respected by others, you must not be closeminded about theirs. Treat what they have to say with due consideration, and your opinions will be given the same courtesy.

Aries March 21-April 19. Be hopeful about what you take on, but by the same token don’t depend on Lady Luck to do your bidding. A concerted effort on you part will be required.

Taurus April 20-May 20. Decisions based on “quickie” solutions will likely be too fragile to withstand the test of time. When it comes to something important, base your judgments on tested factors.

Gemini May 21-June 20. Don’t attempt to take on a do-it-yourself project unless you are well trained to handle the job, or at least have someone with know-how to help you out and back you up.

Cancer June 21-July 22. Demanding others to do what you won’t or can’t do yourself could result in some angry responses if you happen to pick someone who is willing to stand up against you.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. Letting a misunderstanding between you and your mate linger and fester is asking for additional trouble. The sooner you kiss and make up, the better.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Even if the offender deserves it, don’t criticize him or her in front of others if at all possible. Unfortunately, if onlookers don’t know what happened, it could make you look bad.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. When it comes to your commercial dealings, take nothing for granted, even the small points. These could be the very issues that could cause a host of trouble.

Defense does not rest

3

GETTY IMAGES

Quest to defend Stanley Cup continues in dramatic fashion Both offenses heating up heading to Game 7 in Boston on Wednesday Three things we learned yesterday afternoon as the Bruins forced a Game 7 in their dramatic quarterfinals series with the Capitals:

Seguin saves the season Tyler Seguin was ranked just below Tim Thomas and Bobby Valentine as Saturday’s Boston goats after failing to finish on a number of scoring chances

Period by period A look at how the Bruins forced a Game 7:

1

Rich Peverley found the net first for the B’s while David Krejci scored on the power play. In between, Washington’s Mike Green found the net.

2 3

Jason Chimera tied the game at 2 late in the second.

Andrew Ference gave the B’s a 3-2 lead but the Caps’ Alex Ovechkin tied it at 3 later in the period.

Tyler Seguin silenced the sold-out Verizon Center crowd, scoring 3:17 into the first overtime to send the series back to Boston for one final game.

in the Game 5 loss. But Seguin was the biggest hero of all in Game 6 yesterday, and not just because he scored the overtime goal to force Game 7.

Seguin, who didn’t have a point in the series after the first five games, came up huge in the third period with a stolen puck at the blue line and hard rush that set up Andrew Ference’s [temporary] goahead goal. The Bruins need Seguin to create offense, and maybe yesterday finally took the lid off.

In the news

Redemption, Part II Put away the posters and milk boxes. We’ve found David Krejci. Like Seguin, Krejci didn’t have a goal in the series through five games. And like Seguin, Krecji scored yesterday, but make his biggest play away from the goal, stealing a Nicklas Backstrom clearing pass and setting up the play that resulted in Seguin’s overtime game-winner. The Bruins will need all of their offensive weapons on task Wednesday night, and if both Krejci and Seguin are engaged, the Bruins’ chances of advancing improve dramatically.

Doubting Thomas He was off his game in the third period on Saturday, and he gave up a couple of shaky goals yesterday. Yes, Thomas

Flyers advance The Philadelphia Flyers ended the season of their in-state rivals yesterday as they beat Pittsburgh, 5-1, in Philadelphia.

Claude Giroux (above) continued his dominance in the series, posting a goal and two assists in Game 6.

Ilya Bryzgalov tallied 30 saves in the win for Philly, who as a No. 5 seed in the East now await its semifinal opponent.

Rich Peverley and the Bruins refused to fall yesterday in Washington.

Quoted

“I saw the goalie challenging and I just tried to make a quick move and luckily [the puck] went in.”

Season may already be slipping away On heels of epic collapse, Sox must right ship in a hurry Bobby V. already on the hot seat?

Face Twins, White Sox on road this week GETTY IMAGES

Let us look back on all that took place during the first homestand of the season for the Red Sox. They won three straight games by a combined score of 31-11, then lost five straight by a combined score of 46-17.

Jacoby Ellsbury suffered a serious shoulder injury.

Stalwart Kevin Youkilis was called out by new manager Bobby Valentine, who was called out by stalwart Dustin Pedroia.

The park turned 100.

Jon Lester matched the shortest start of his career in the same game that saw Mark Melancon give up six runs without recording an out.

David Ortiz hit .531 (17-for32) with 10 RBI. The front office made 16 separate player moves, including a trade for former Cubs outfielder Marlon Byrd.

Clay Buchholz gave up five home runs for just the second time in his career.

The bullpen turned a 9-0 lead over the Yankees into an embarrassing 15-9 loss.

Valentine said his team had “hit bottom.”

There was a rainout.

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

It’s safe to say that the club never experienced a homestand like this one in its first 100 years, and may not in its next 100. At least it ended on a positive note; the rainout gave the Sox a chance to rest, fly early to Minnesota and take stock of the young season.

However, when they do, every one of them will come to the same conclusion: It’s ugly.

Perhaps some Midwestern hospitality can help. The Sox will play three games in Target Field and then four in Chicago.

It marks the end of a seasonopening gauntlet through the AL elite. That means nothing if the club cannot figure out a way to get consistent starting pitching and some semblance of relief — the bullpen has given up an unconscionable 42

Daniel Bard will move back to the bullpen.

Bard skipped Red Sox pitcher Daniel Bard will once again work out of the bullpen, Bobby Valentine said Sunday.

Bard was scheduled to start last night against NY, but the game was postponed. The 26-year-old righty is 0-2 this season with a 4.63 ERA.

earned runs in 42 2/3 innings, good for an MLB-worst 8.44 ERA. Relief may be on its way, at least for a few days. Daniel Bard, the former setup man whose name will be uttered whenever bullpen issues are discussed, was skipped in the rotation due to the rainout.

Valentine said Sunday that Bard will be available in relief leading up to his next start, scheduled for Friday in Chicago.

Perhaps having Bard as an option out of the bullpen will be just what the doctor ordered. Perhaps the club uses these next few days to figure out ways to replace him in the rotation and make this a permanent move. Perhaps that shuffle can right the ship. If so, perhaps the road trip will be as intriguing as the homestand.

Nah. That’s impossible.
