Reviews promised after report of racial profiling at Logan Report: TSA agents say behavior detection officers single out blacks and Hispanics Massport head ‘eager’ to review investigation findings

Logan security As the origin point of two of the four planes hijacked during the 9/11 attacks, officials have made it a point that Logan be first in many security advancements.

Behavior detection first launched at Logan in 2003 The first full-body scanners debuted at Logan in 2010 Advanced behavior detection, including asking questions of passengers, started as a pilot program in Boston last year. It was meant to be a 60-day trial.

In the news

636 As of Thursday, MBTA Transit Police have issued 636 fare evasion citations since July 9, according to Transit Police Department Chief Paul MacMillan.

With each first-time offender now being charged $50 instead of $15, that comes to at least $31,800 in fines.

Transit Police said they will continue to enforce fare evasion violations throughout the system in the coming months.

Today’s local tweet

“Who’s the Romney staffer who keeps saying “idear” instead of “idea?” @GOPFIRECRACKER

It was supposed to be a model for other airports around the country, but the behavior detection program at Logan Airport has come under fire recently after security agents have accused other agents of racial profiling.

The New York Times reported Saturday that dozens of Transportation Security Administration agents at Logan have complained about the agency’s behavior detection program and how some officers were more likely to stop Hispanics traveling to Miami or blacks wearing baseball caps backwards.

The program is meant to train officers to spot signs of potential terrorists.

The operator of Logan Airport responded to the report and issued a statement yesterday morning in response to the Times article that called Logan’s program “a magnet for racial profiling.”

“The safety and security of passengers and airport workers are the top priorities of Massport. There is no place

“There is no place for racial profiling in any security program.”

DAVID S. MACKEY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF MASSPORT

Complaint A formal complaint was filed by a 68-year-old Boston psychologist and education consultant, according to the Times report.

Kenneth Boatner was traveling to Atlanta for a business meeting last month.

He said he was pulled out of line and detained for about 30 minutes while agents looked through his checkbook, cellphone and clinical notes.

Boatner, who is black, said he was not offered a reason, but said he believed it was because of his appearance. He was wearing a white T-shit, sweatpants and high top sneakers.

Two arrested in drug sale to undercover cop QUINCY. Two men are scheduled to be arraigned in Quincy District Court today after allegedly trying to sell prescription drugs to Transit Police at Quincy Center station.

Michael Brennan, 25, of Weymouth, and Steven Burke, 24, of Quincy were arrested Friday after an undercover detective allegedly caught the men trying to peddle pills at the station.

Both men allegedly agreed to sell the detective Suboxones, a class B controlled substance.

for racial profiling in any security program,” said David S. Mackey, executive director of Massport.

“It is illegal and it is not effective. As the airport operator, we take these allegations very seriously. We are eager to review the findings of a federal investigation into the matter. Massport promotes effective, legal federal security programs that protect the flying public.”

While reports of racial profiling have surfaced at other airports — including Newark and Hawaii — those numbers are much smaller than what’s occurring in Boston, according to the report.

About 160 airports have implemented the behavior detection program, but Boston’s model has more advanced tactics.

The TSA said on Friday that it has opened an investigation into the allegations, according to the report.

Rare bearded dragon discovered in Somerville ‘Chill’ lizard makes new friends who hope to reunite it with owner TORI SWEETSER

METRO

Suffolk Downs inches toward gaming license After rolling out development plans for a $1 billion destination resort casino in June and meeting with community members, Suffolk Downs has formally declared its intent to compete for one of Massachusetts’ commercial gaming licenses.

Track officials announced Friday that they are filing the state’s form and submitting

$200M Track officials estimate the resort will generate $200 million each year in state tax revenue.

the required nonrefundable $400,000 fee with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.

“We begin this formal part of earning a license to develop a world-class destination resort at our 77-year-old racetrack with great enthusiasm and with the understanding that our project must set the standard for gaming development in Massachusetts,” Suffolk Downs principal owner Richard Fields said Friday.

“With our partners, Caesars Entertainment, we are committed to a proposal that will create more jobs, tourism benefits and local economic development than any other project in the state.” METRO

Did you lose your lizard? This guy was found chillin’ out in Somerville.

Tori Sweetser and her boyfriend Josh Huber were on their way to pick up a U-Haul Saturday afternoon and ended up going home with a little more than they bargained for.

While driving down Broadway, near the intersection of Simpson Avenue in Somerville, Huber spotted a large, orange lizard moseying across the crosswalk.

“At least it was being responsible,” Sweetser said of the reptile.

They pulled over, got out, and approached the lizard.

“It looked between 16 and 18 inches long, which is unusually big. We tried to figure out what to do with it. We shooed it onto the sidewalk, and it started to become a spectacle. A few other people stopped, and we tried calling 311 and animal control, but

nobody could help us,” Sweetser said.

The lizard then scurried into a nearby yard.

“It’s big, and it runs fast. I remember thinking, ‘This thing is either going to scare the crap out of someone, or get itself run over,’” she said.

Sweetser and Huber brought the lizard home, and after posting about it on the Davis Square LiveJournal page, learned it was a rare bearded dragon.

Since Saturday, she has gotten tips that there are “Missing Lizard” flyers in Davis Square and, yesterday, set out to track down the owner.

“I am a fan of reptiles, so I wasn’t nervous,” she said.

“The lizard was very chill.”

Police investigating rape in Harvard Yard Police are searching for the man who raped a woman as she walked through Harvard Yard this weekend.

In response to the attack, Harvard University Police said they have increased the presence of uniformed and plainclothes officers in and around

the Yard and the surrounding campus.

The woman was grabbed about 3:15 a.m. Friday as she entered the Cambridge campus through the Johnston Gate, across from Church Street and Massachusetts Avenue, Harvard Police said.

She was then pulled behind Massachusetts Hall and attacked.

The victim told police the attacker was a very tanned or possibly Hispanic man in his mid-20s, about 5-foot-7 with a medium build. She said he had dark hair and was wear-

ing a white shirt.

While police said the woman was not affiliated with Harvard, they urged students and others to use caution when out, especially late at night.

Ryan pick sharpens Romney duel with Obama over budget Mitt Romney moved a partisan split over budget cuts and government’s size front and center in the presidential race by selecting Paul Ryan as his running mate, choosing a lawmaker seen by Republicans as a policy visionary and

by Democrats as a fiscal extremist.

Along with energizing his base, Romney’s vice presidential decision shifts a campaign he has sought to frame as a referendum on President Barack Obama’s economic record into a contest between two radically different visions of government’s role.

The former Massachusetts governor’s pairing with Ryan, a fresh-faced Wisconsin congressman, sharpens the Republican ticket’s contrast with Obama and promises a lively debate on whether and how dramatically to curb spending

and overhaul U.S. entitlements, particularly Medicare.

The selection thrilled Obama’s campaign, which hastened to brand Ryan a budgetcutting zealot whose selection shows Romney’s disregard for the middle class. The pick quelled fears among some Republicans, who said Ryan was a bold choice who would animate Romney’s bid and clarify his message.

“We’re offering a positive governing agenda that will lead to economic growth, to widespread and shared prosperity, and that will improve the lives of our fellow citizens,” Romney said in Norfolk, Va., yesterday before introducing Ryan as his running mate. “Our plan to strengthen the middle class will get America back to work and get our country back on track.”

Who is Ryan?

42 years of age, has spent most of his adult life in Congress, with little business or executive experience to speak of.

He steadily built his credibility as a Washington insider, starting as an intern on Capitol Hill and then becoming an aide to a Republican senator from Wisconsin.

For the past 14 years, he has served as a member of the House of Representatives.

His 2010 manifesto “Young Guns, A New Generation of Conservative Leaders” elevated Ryan’s prominence.

Ryan also adds personal appeal to the Republican ticket.

Ryan is also a fitness buff and leads his fellow lawmakers in a daily exercise group.

After spring floods drowned his seeding plans two years straight, Canadian farmer Walter Finlay is harvesting what looks to be an average or slightly better crop of wheat and canola.

Canada is the world’s seventh-largest wheat-growing country, and the top exporter of spring wheat and durum, used in baking and pasta-making respectively. It’s the biggest producer and shipper of canola, used to make oil for salad dressings and margarine.

Canadian farmers will harvest a record-smashing 16 million tons of canola this year, and the biggest wheat crop in three years, according to a July poll by Reuters of traders and analysts.

Already farmers are finding new markets for their crops, as Canadian wheat replaces scarce U.S. corn in feedlots, coming to the rescue of livestock and poultry industries that are scrambling to feed their animals. Oilseeds users are also looking to plentiful canola rather than soybeans.

Metro’s reporter bids adieu to the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London at Closing Ceremony Olympics brought countries together Showcased best of athletic competition TOSHIFUMI KITAMURA/AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Goodbye, London

The Olympic rings are superimposed over the British House of Parliament during the Closing Ceremony of the London Olympic Games.

D

id you watch Japan win gold in gymnastics?” an enthusiastic young Japanese woman asked me as the Olympic Closing Ceremony was about to begin.

I had to admit that I didn’t watch Kohei Uchimura win the men’s gymnastic floor exercise, but during these past two weeks I’ve watched athletes performing many other unusual activities: playing volleyball on a fake beach, cycling around in circles at breakneck speed. Fans have good-naturedly cheered them on, aided by the London Games’ exceptionally well-trained and friendly staff.

At the Olympic closing ceremony, the fans were again there to cheer their athletes on. “Ah, I just love the Dutch,” one of the Games’ volunteers told me as a Dutch fan gave him a Dutch mini-flag.

“They’re always so friendly.”

Then, turning to the fan: “Come on, man, give me a kiss.” But the Dutchman was already busy distributing flags to other Olympic staff.

Meanwhile, the internation-

Shut it down The British brought out the big guns of music to throw a real closing party.

A video of John Lennon performing “Imagine” got attention, while the music of Queen, Pink Floyd, The Who and The Kinks all appeared.

al harmony continued as Swedish fans posed with Iranians, while a group of young Frenchmen made new friends from Indonesia and Spaniards kissed Jamaicans. In fact, the London Games have proven — as the Olympics always should — that national pride doesn’t have to be aggressive.

“The visitors have been very nice and calm,” a security guard told me, referring to the 80,000 people who were streaming in for the Closing Ceremony.

Nowhere is that Olympic national pride more obvious than here in the host country.

Yes, Britain finished third in

gold medals, its best result in a century, but following the British media coverage one could easily get the impression that no other country has won any medals. Indeed, the Olympics have done Britain a lot of good, not just in financial terms. People are suddenly proud to be British, as opposed to English, Welch, Northern Irish or Scottish. Scotland’s planned independence is now uncertain.

As fans continued their cross-border love-in inside the Olympic Park, a large group of Islamists were holding a protest just outside the gates.

“UN go to hell! Assad go to hell!

Burma go to hell! Hands off Muslims! Allah Akhbar!” they shouted in an increasingly hostile manner. A young African strolled over and tried to calm the Islamists down: “Jesus saves, man.” But, I submit, inside the Olympic stadium quite a few people would say, “Usain Bolt saves, man.”

London gets a dose of Girl Power in Olympics

I

Felix is the first female to win three track golds since 1988.

t was fitting to have the originators of Girl Power — the Spice Girls — close out an Olympics that was the most dominant for women in history.

Not only did every country send at least one female representative for the first time, the U.S. team was dominated by performances from the ladies.

They won 29 of the 46 gold medals the United States won and 58 of the 104 total. It was the first time women had out-medaled their male counterparts — and it wasn’t even close.

From Allyson Felix winning three golds on the track to Missy Franklin taking home four in the pool, the U.S. women dominated.

And don’t forget about team sports, where the basketball, water polo and soccer teams all won gold. METRO

Scenes from two weeks in London 2012

1

After winning gold in Beijing, Kristin Armstrong retired from cycling to have a baby. Well, she decided to come out of retirement for London and stood on the podium with her 3-year-old son as gold medalist in the women’s time trial.

2

If you saw Missy Franklin in London, chances are you saw her smiling. The bubbly 17-year-old from Colorado with the size 13 feet won four golds — the most of any female athlete at the Games — in swimming.

3

One of the biggest upsets came in the men’s 100meter freestyle as American Nathan Adrian upset Aussie James Magnussen for the gold.

He also won quite a few female fans.

4 5

4 2

Any thought that these Olympics wouldn’t still belong to Michael Phelps disappeared after a fourth place finish in the 400-meter individual medley. In his next six races he won two silvers and four more golds as he set the record for most medals in Olympic history.

8

5

Finishing second is no fun.

Just ask Sanya RichardsRoss, who cracked down the final straightaway of the 400 meters in Beijing and lost her chance at gold. No such pain in London, as Richards-Ross took gold in the 400m and the 4x400m relay.

6

6

Storybook endings are rare in sports. Phelps got his in London, but so did the duo of Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor. The best pair in beach volleyball history won their third straight gold in London.

7

For the most part the weather was surprisingly good — and very unlike rainy London. Just don’t tell that to gold medalist Marianne Vos and the ladies of the women’s road race.

8 3

Remember when people talked about Usain Bolt being vulnerable coming into London? Not so much. He leaves as the unquestioned greatest sprinter of all-time.

Nothing sums up the agony of defeat more than American runner Morgan Uceny, who tripped and fell on the final lap of the women’s 1,500 meters. It was deja vu for Uceny, who also fell on the last lap at the 2011 World Championships.

10

Revenge never tasted as sweet as it did for the U.S. women’s soccer team. Alex Morgan’s goal in the 123rd minute of the semifinal against Canada set up the U.S. win over Japan, who beat them in the 2011 World Cup final.

11

13

15

You wouldn’t have known it in the U.S., but the biggest star going into the game for Britain was Jessica Ennis. The 26-year-old from Sheffield was plastered all over billboards in London.

She didn’t disappoint, winning the heptathlon in front of a raucus Olympic stadium.

There is rarely a better lock for gold than a Chinese diver. They won seven of eight golds in China and six of eight in London. But thanks to American David Boudia, they didn’t win the marquee event — the men’s 10-meter platform. Boudia sunk world champ Qiu Bo to take gold.

Nope, she isn’t even slightly impressed with that silver medal.

McKayla Maroney is probably still the best vaulter in the world — but after landing on her butt with a gold medal all but assured, it’s not surprising the world got that look.

12

14

Even Usain Bolt was imitating Mo Farah by the time the British native won double gold in the 5,000meter and 10,000-meter races.

He and Ennis were clearly the home favorites to come out of London.

16

As if you needed an illustration, it hurts to drop 423 pounds on your neck.

Germany’s Matthias Steiner found that out the hard way.

He was, thankfully, miraculously unharmed.

No such snear from individual all-around champion Gabby Douglas.

She was all smiles after capturing America’s third straight gold in the allaround — and a whole lot of fans back in the states.

World will head to Rio for 2016 Games

Who’s back?

GETTY IMAGES

The London Olympics may be only one day in the books, but the best cure for an Olympic hangover is to look ahead.

It was announced on Oct. 2, 2009, that the 2016 Summer Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil — the first Games ever held in South America.

And with the handing over of the Olympic flame from London to Rio, the march to 2016 has already begun.

Rio is also hosting the

World Cup in 2014, so many of the same venues will be used. That includes Maracanã Stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies will be performed, as well as the finals of the soccer tournaments — sure to be among the most raucous ever held.

When Rio submitted its bid to the IOC, it was planned to cost $14.4 billion. But that was just an estimate and it could certainly cost more than that.

IOC Chief Jacques Rogge said

before the London closing ceremonies he wanted a final budget as soon as possible.

Two new sports will debut in Rio, including golf and rugby. Tiger Woods was among the golfers who lobbied for the sports’ inclusion and will likely play as well.

The Games have come a long way since just nine sports in 1896.

Winter Games?

If you fell asleep in geography class, the 2016 Games in Rio will actually be held during the winter, since it is in the southern hemisphere.

Don’t worry about bringing a coat though. Temperatures in winter in Rio are generally about 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can bring your swimsuit.

Which US city should host next?

We know the 2016 Games will be held in Rio, but which athletes will be there to compete? Four years is a very long time in sports, but let’s take a look at some of the stars from the London Games and see if they could figure into Rio: Usain Bolt (Age: 25) Bolt has already said he hopes to be in Rio as long as he is healthy. We hope he is too.

Carl Lewis went to three straight Olympics as a sprinter, but was only on the 4x100-meter relay team. Bolt may be more driven by Yohan Blake, though.

Gabby Douglas (Age: 16) The good news for fans of the American and individual all-around champion is that she is only 16. But the U.S. women’s gymnastics team has been entirely new in each of the last three Olympics. It’s unlikely she, or any of the “Fab Five,” will be in Rio. Missy Franklin (Age: 17) Franklin is the anointed heir to the U.S. swimming crown, so huge things will be expected of her in Rio. She won four golds in London and could swim a Michael Phelps-esque program of eight races in 2016.

W

hile the financial rewards of London hosting the 2012 summer games will be highly debated over the next several days, cities across the globe won’t hesitate to put in a bid for the world’s biggest athletic celebration going forward.

With the 1996 Summer Games having been held in Atlanta and the 2002 Winter Games having been held in Salt Lake City, it is a near guarantee that a U.S. city will host another Olympics within the next 20 years.

Metro takes a look at where those games could be held in the U.S., and the likelihood that a bid would be accepted by the International Olympic Committee. MATT BURKE

Boston

Its bid for the 2016 Games came up short, but by the time the bidding for the 2024 games comes around (2015), Chicago should be one of the global favorites.

“The Chi” in the summertime is phenomenal and in its 2016 bid all of the athletic facilities would have been in close proximity. The reason this wouldn’t be a lock is the budget. Chicago was looking at a $3.8 billion budget for the 2016 games and many in the Windy City wanted to pass.

In the middle of the Northeast Corridor, Philly would have no trouble attracting a large, Olympic-sized crowd. But is the city really equipped to handle that much traffic?

One plus is that there are three relatively new athletic stadiums all within walking distance of one another. The Wells Fargo Center could host indoor events like basketball and volleyball, while Lincoln Financial Field would have to be altered for track and field.

Yes, the congestion in NYC would be horrific and no major U.S. city is currently in the position to budget $3 billion for two weeks of fun, but New York is the type of “world-class city” that the IOC drools over.

Its West Coast rival Los Angeles has, in Olympics-terms, likely hosted the Games too recently (1984) to be considered a possibility. The United States Olympic Committee nominated NYC for the 2012 games, but the bid was eliminated on the second ballot.

If Atlanta could host an Olympics, why couldn’t Boston?

The obvious issue, however, would be the ability to build an Olympic-sized stadium in the city. The last time a Gillette Stadium-sized project was proposed for Boston, it was met with endless barriers. There’s a reason why the Patriots still play 25 miles south of the city. And it took the threat of a move to Connecticut just to get that stadium built.

David Boudia (Age: 23) Like gymnastics, diving is often a young person’s game. In fact, Boudia was the oldest member of the men’s diving team in London. But Boudia was a late bloomer in the sport and his gold in London will likely mean he at least gives Rio a go.

Alex Morgan (Age: 23) Abby Wambach is almost certainly done on the U.S. women’s soccer team. So who is going to lead them? Well, Morgan is the natural bet. She may already be the most recognizable player. The pressure to beat Marta and Brazil in Rio will be absolutely tremendous for the U.S.

Group redoubles effort to remove Chik-fil-A from college campuses GETTY IMAGES

In just a few short weeks, the Chick-fil-A culture wars may gravitate toward college campuses as students across the country return to class.

Campus Pride — the largest organization of LGBT college students nationwide — says that it intends to use Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy’s recent comments as leverage in its decade-long effort to remove the fast-food chain from college campuses. “A lot of things have happened recently to educate college students about this company’s activities. When they get back on campus, there’s going to be even more direct action taking place,� says Shane Windmeyer, the executive director of Campus Pride. “We want to let students know that every time they buy Chick-fil-A, they’re supporting a company that funds hate groups.�

Campus Pride has long opposed Chick-fil-A because of WinShape, a nonprofit founded by the Cathy family in 1984.

“A lot of things have happened recently to educate college students about this company’s activities. When they get back to campus, there’s going to be even more direct action taking place.�

WINDMEYER

Venture helps students avoid corporate life Four months after leaving Google Inc., the former head of its enterprise business has a new mission — helping college graduates avoid big corporations like Google.

Upstart (www.upstart.com) lets university graduates raise money from other people online so that they can start their own businesses, pursue a research project or chase a personal dream, rather than take a “safe� job in the corporate world. “There’s this overwhelming desire to not follow the traditional path of bolting yourself to a desk and climbing the cor-

porate ladder,� says Upstart founder Dave Girouard. But he said too many graduating students have college loans they need to repay and do not feel they can take a chance.

Part social network, part Kickstarter, Upstart provides an online forum where participants post personal profiles with their backgrounds and goals in the hope of attracting at least five financial backers.

Upstart is the latest example of so-called crowdfunding and peer-to-peer online lending services that have sprouted in recent years. And with the U.S. unemployment rate now in its fourth year above 8 percent, Girouard says it is a good time for those entering the workforce to think outside the box. REUTERS

Feel Great About YOUR FUTURE GET TRAINING IN HEALTH CARE IN LESS THAN

Over the years, WinShape has given money to various anti-gay groups, including the Family Research Council — which, as Windmeyer points out, is designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Campus Pride also intends to challenge food services contractors that offer Chick-fil-A on campuses. And the group will likely gain some traction there: Two of the three major

providers — Aramark and Sodexo — are considered LGBT-friendly corporations by the Human Rights Campaign, and both seem to value that status. “What Dan Cathy said, actually, I think he has every right to say. I think he has every right to own a business.

In fact, I’m so glad he has finally come out as anti-gay. It makes it easier for people to

choose between his company and others,� says Windmeyer. “But consumers also have the right to know what groups his company funds. It’s kind of funny that the same company that sells chicken with cows also claims to be Christian, yet funds hate groups. So I think they are very confused.�

Perry, Mayer canoodling continues ALL PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES

It looks like Katy Perry’s got a type — tall, dark and grungy.

After splitting with hubby Russell Brand last year, the “Wide Awake” singer now seems to be getting cozy with another member of the shower-averse club: John Mayer. The two, who shared a dinner date earlier this month and have been spotted around L.A. since, were recently snapped leaving a house party in Los Feliz, Calif., over the weekend, TMZ reports. So is the Hollywood playboy — who’s been linked to a slew of A-list ladies, including Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson and Taylor Swift — Perry’s new knight in shining armor?

“She’s not talking like he’s ‘the one,’” a pal of Perry’s tells People. “She’s comfortable around guys who understand the craziness of that world, which he definitely does.”

If Perry has indeed found a man who understands her kind of world — a technicolor dreamland with purple wigs and whipped cream-spewing bras — we can’t help but won-

Dunham pokes fun at Stewart on Twitter

Gold medalist’s dreams crushed

Talk about deflecting. Last week, “Girls” creator Lena Dunham tweeted a picture of herself with a scarf wrapped around her head, hijab-style, along with the message “I had a real goth/fundamentalist attitude when I woke up from my nap.” After posting the racially insensitive tweet, Dunham quickly apologized — making fun of “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart in the process. “You should apologize if you make a mistake,” Dunham wrote. “I mean, not to the K Stew level, but...” Stewart, who had been notoriously tight-lipped about her private life, has received criticism over her public apology for cheating on boyfriend Robert Pattinson, with some complaining that is was overthe-top and disingenuous.

U.S. gymnastics gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas is learning that winning big at the Olympics doesn’t get you everything you want. The 16year-old athlete recently learned that her celebrity crush, Ian Somerhalder, is dating his “Vampire Diaries” costar Nina Dobrev, dashing her hopes. “I’ll show him my gold medal. You never know,” Douglas joked to Us Weekly.

“Does Ian have a brother?”

Now here are two people we wouldn’t want to put in a room together: gossip magnets Kristen Stewart and Lindsay Lohan. X17.com reports that the two were seen at a party in Huntington Beach, Calif., which Stewart attended in support of her younger brother, Cameron, who had participated in a surfing competition connected with the fete. No word on why Lohan was there — but if other reports are true (see below), maybe it was just so she could throw things and shame others for not being famous. If Stewart wants to keep this whole reviled-by-the-public thing going, perhaps she has decided to learn from the master.

“She was yelling, ‘I’m a star, she’s a nobody, get her out of here!’” Security eventually asked Lohan and her

entourage to leave. But the birthday girl — who’s dating Lohan’s photographer friend, Tyler Shields — wasn’t fazed by the display. “I’m not sure what exactly sparked Lindsay’s outburst,” Eastwood tells E! News. “Regardless, I still had an amazing night.”

Crush with eyeliner

Now that Johnny Depp is single and jumping onstage with Aerosmith and The Black Keys, we remembered how far a little “guyliner” can go.

1. Johnny Depp doesn’t just rock eyeliner on stage — the actor has been wearing a smoky eye even before Captain Jack's signature smudge.

2. These days, we’re pretty sure Steven Tyler sleeps in his oversize sunglasses. But underneath, we assume he’s still adding a little pop with the pencil.

3. Hung over? Beat up? Just a little dirty? Billy Joe and his dark circles like to keep us guessing.

4. Russell Brand and British comedian Noel Fielding both smudged on a little liner in 2007. (Brand has since cleaned up his act — Fielding added more mascara.)

5. Adam Lambert gets extra credit for the eye shadow.

6. We’re pretty sure Ozzy Osbourne had no idea he was even wearing eyeliner in June.

ith big blue eyes, a graceful little smile and the slightest forward hunch of her shoulders, Zoe Kazan doesn’t look as mighty as the sum of her creative forces. The 28-yearold granddaughter of legendary filmmaker Elia Kazan is not only a celebrated actress, she’s also a playwright, screenwriter and executive producer. But on the day that we meet her, she girlishly curls up in a chair at the Crosby Street Hotel, tucking her feet under herself as if preparing to read a good book.

We discuss the film that she wrote, produced and starred in, “Ruby Sparks.”

“I guess I’m a formalist,” she says. “I like things to take advantage of their medium.”

Having written plays in the past, Kazan is describing her choice to make this particular story into a film. And upon learning of the subject matter, one can understand why — an author plagued by writer’s block finally stumbles upon inspiration when he dreams of his perfect woman. After writing pages and pages about his muse, Ruby Sparks suddenly appears in his apartment. He continues to be able to control

“When he starts to change Ruby, it’s when he feels that she might leave him,” Kazan says. “It’s out of a feeling of helplessness and a desire to hold onto the loved object.

Nightmare vacation Gordon Ramsay aims to rehab bed-and-breakfasts and resorts on ‘Hotel Hell’ His advice for travelers JEFFREY NEIRA/FOX

“Kitchen Nightmares” host Gordon Ramsay’s new renovation reality show will make you think twice about staying at a hotel ever again.

In “Hotel Hell,” the celebrity chef steps out of the kitchen and into the country’s bed-andbreakfasts and resorts in desperate need of overhaul. The problems range from an unwillingness to change business strategies during a slow economy to — gross-out alert — finding a duvet cover that hadn’t been cleaned for 18 months.

“It’s so obvious what’s wrong,” Ramsay says of the hotels he visits in the new Fox series. “I don’t think common sense becomes that common in those scenarios. That’s the frustrating part.”

Ramsay swears he didn’t travel to these hotels “to create havoc” — though he uses his trademark bluntness to point out flaws, which rubs some hotel owners the wrong way. “I went in there to position it in a way that they have to be responsible,” Ramsay insists.

And some standards, it seems, have dropped appallingly low.

“The shock for me … was the general hygiene,” Ramsay says. “If you had a dentist appointment tomorrow morning and you were going for a filling or a polish, you would see that

Worst of the worst Ramsay has important advice for couples looking for a romantic getaway.

Gordon Ramsay, right, meets with hotel owners to improve their businesses on “Hotel Hell,” premiering tonight at 8 on Fox.

unique space spotless. I think kitchens and hotel rooms and bathrooms should be exactly the same. The biggest worry across the whole series was the states of the pillowcases. Remove the pillowcases, flash the black light in there for 30 seconds, and I was horrified. I mean literally horrified — and I’m talking about some very expensive hotels.”

On the series, Ramsay’s intervention may be the hotels’ last chance to stay in business.

But in a broader context, he says, consumers, too, can play a part in bettering the hospitality industry.

“I don’t think, as a nation, we complain enough,” Ramsay says. “We need to demand either our money back or a credit rating [after a bad stay] so we can return there for a much better experience. In order for the industry to get better and the hospitality sector to raise its game, then we need to complain more.”

“If you are dating and are going away for a wonderful weekend, like any couple would do, you get there and they suggest they’re going to upgrade you to the honeymoon suite: Don’t take it,” Ramsay says. “I’m trying to be serious, because it is somewhat ... not just shocking — personally, I didn’t think it could shoot that far,” he adds, deliberately remaining vague before offering a more PG explanation: “Um, I’m talking about if you shake a can of Coke and open it.”

There’s this fictitious business mode that people think they need to adopt. Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t behave appropriately in a meeting, but starting to blend in your natural passion would be a good first step.

Where do people go wrong in crafting an elevator speech?

They don’t take the time to craft it. They wing it. It takes time and effort to honestly ask yourself: What do I want to say?

What’s important about what I want to say? And, more importantly, what does the listener think is important? What’s the sexy nugget about what I have to say?

How do you stay true to yourself and still craft an effective pitch?

When I do workshops, I videotape people telling a personal adventure story. While they’re sharing it, they’re animated, and they use their own little colloquialisms.

Basically, they’re having fun. Their natural voice comes through. Then I take that same person and video them giving a business

Your job search: What’s not working With everyone telling you what to do in order to be successful in a job search, it’s hard to keep track of it all and easy to fall into bad habits. We know what seems to work during the hunt, such as tapping into your network or contacting a company directly, but recently we were more interested in what isn’t working.

We all know that we should be careful with what we’re putting on social media pages — no late-night frat party snapshots — but did you realize that spelling counts, too?

According to this year’s Social Recruiting Survey by Jobvite, “most employers are looking at those profiles, and poor spelling and grammar will turn off more than half (54 percent) of recruiters.” According to the survey, this includes typos and the misuse of “your” and “you’re.”

When it comes to social media and the job search, we should reach out to everyone we know — but often times we’re not going far enough.

The different ways depression can manifest

Local physician is conducting a research study to see if an investigational drug can help improve the penile curvature and the bother associated with the symptoms of Peyronie’s Disease.

Men who are 18-70 years of age are needed for a 10 month study evaluating an investigational drug for Peyronie’s disease.

Since I was laid off two months ago, I haven’t been sleeping well. I’m much more irritable and haven’t been very motivated to do some of the things that I usually enjoy, like playing tennis.

My girlfriend thinks I’m depressed, but I’m not suicidal or anything like that. What do you think?

who can do a full and proper assessment. Depression, considered the common cold of mental illness, is nothing to be ashamed of — but it is something to take seriously, especially if it persists. Fortunately, treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy and anti-depressants can help alleviate symptoms.

In the meantime, I suggest creating a routine that involves a set schedule and work area for your job search. Consider consulting a career counselor and join professional networking groups. You might also try to improve your sleep by: 1. Winding down early the same time every night; 2. Refraining from caffeine after 1 p.m.; and 3. Limiting stimulation like television and the Internet before bedtime.

I Do you have Peyronie’s Disease?

The question:

’m sorry to hear about your job. Times are tough.

Job loss is considered one of the top 10 stressors a person can experience in the course of a lifetime. Obviously, unemployment can affect your mood, your self-esteem and your sleep. And a lack of sleep can affect your mood, your self-esteem and your energy level. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what comes first.

So are you depressed? Possibly, but it’s hard to determine without more information. On the surface, you seem to display at least two of the five symptoms needed to diagnose depression. Your insomnia and loss of interest in activities that you previously found pleasurable are two signature signs. But in order to make a definitive diagnosis, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, at least three additional symptoms would need to be present for most of the time during a two-week period:

Depression doesn’t always show itself in obvious ways.

Feeling sad and empty most of the time Significant increase or decrease in appetite Fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day Feelings of worthlessness and hopeless about the future Diminished ability to con-

End violence through knowledge After reading the letter titled “Coverage of Sikh temple killings found wanting” by Jahed Ahmed, I find it is profoundly true that this unfortunate, horrible incident was not given the media coverage it deserved. I agreed with Mr. Ahmed that this was NOT an act of mistaken identity but indeed premeditated.

The people of this country need to educate themselves on the other religions and understand their beliefs. It is a real shame that immigrants are not yet accepted in this country and a bigger shame that those that kill and hurt these innocent, God-loving people will never understand that most of them came to this country to better themselves. Wake up America, this country was built by

immigrants — and regardless how you want to take it, they are here to stay. You can kill, but you cannot kill the love these people have for humanity. It only strengthens it.

What does it matter about tax returns?

I could not care less whether Mitt Romney produces his tax returns. I am not voting for him or Obama. The lesser of two evils is not the correct choice. People should vote their conscience. That being said, why should Romney have to produce his tax returns? Why does anyone have the right to know what he does with his money? You wouldn’t want people demanding for you to produce your tax returns, so

why should you demand it from him? To all you people clamoring about Romney’s tax returns, you’re starting to sound a lot like Donald Trump and the “birthers.”

This is a dead issue meant to distract the public yet again from the real issues.

Congress should take more mental health days

US road paved with bad choices

Congress adjourning and leaving Washington for a fiveweek recess is actually great news. Our civil and economic liberties are continually at risk when any legislative body is in session. Elected officials on a bipartisan basis routinely pass legislation to increase spending, taxes, borrowing and deficits. They also

Sure, President Obama inherited all sorts of problems from George W. Bush, that diabolical nightmare. But that doesn’t let Obama off the hook. He has perpetuated these useless wars, practically ruined our economy with those bailouts, gun-running in Mexico to their drug lords, and worse. That’s not to say we’ll be any better off with Romney in the White House.

But we still have choices other than Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum. Unfortunately, the American people will likely vote that way.

Plax to Pats?

The Patriots have a logjam at wide receiver, but are always on the lookout for upgrades at any position at any time.

While it remains unclear if former Steelers, Giants and Jets star Plaxico Burress would be an upgrade over a Jabar Gaffney or Deion Branch, the Patriots reportedly worked out Burress yesterday. The 35-year-old had a below-average year for the Jets last season as he caught 45 passes for 612 yards. He served 22 months in jail for a 2008 gun charge before signing with the Jets prior to last season.

Anyone want this job?

Chances of Bobby Valentine coming back to Boston in 2013 are slim Which names could pop up once season comes to an end Is manager of the Red Sox still a glamorous gig?

GETTY IMAGES

Since the day the Red Sox made the terrible decision to hire Bobby Valentine as their manager last winter, one of the favorite pastimes in New England has been predicting how long he’d remain employed in Boston. It looks like he’ll ride out this miserable season, no matter how bad it gets. But can we all agree that even the Red Sox aren’t dumb enough to bring him back in 2013?

Therefore, it’s time to start blindly speculating over who should be the next manager.

Here are three ideas: one former player, one former coach and one rival coach. Above all, let’s not pretend that being a baseball manager is all that difficult. If you need further proof, check out Robin Ventura, who has the White Sox in first place in the AL Central despite the fact that he never managed before this year at any level.

Rare explosion The Red Sox (57-59) had a rare offensive outburst yesterday in Cleveland as they throttled the Indians (53-62), 14-1.

Boston had a 6-1 lead heading into the fifth, but they didn’t let up as it scored eight runs in one frame.

Doubles by Jacoby Ellsbury, Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez provided the brunt of the damage.

Jon Lester finally got some run support as he pitched six innings and allowed just three hits and one earned run. He also struck out 12.

The Red Sox are still 5.5 games out in the wild-card standings.

Boston from 2006-10, so he has a history with many of the players, coaches and front office. That might be precisely why he wouldn’t want to return. Who knows?

He’s gotten his feet wet in Toronto, and he’s a smart guy, so he must realize by now that it’s basically a no-win situation with that team in the AL East.

Gabe Kapler would be an outside-the-box choice to lead the Red Sox clubhouse.

GABE KAPLER: UNEMPLOYED BASEBALL PLAYER

The former Red Sox outfielder and fitness fanatic managed the Greenville Drive (their high Single-A team) in 2007 so he has some experience. More importantly, he’s young (so he’d have plenty of energy), and he’s very intelligent — which doesn’t seem to be a requirement in this profession (see: Charlie Manuel). If all else fails, wouldn’t it be fun to see him beat up Josh Beckett and John Lackey?

3

JIM HICKEY: TAMPA BAY PITCHING COACH

Tampa Bay has been a contender the last four years, mostly because of their outstanding pitching. Much of this has to do with their highend (top draft picks) talent. But Hickey must be doing something right to mold all those spare parts in the bullpen into dependable arms (Kyle Farnsworth, Joaquin Benoit, Fernando Rodney). He’s been the pitching coach for almost six years with the Rays, and he’s only 50. Isn’t it time to move up?

A look at linebackers

Linebacker Dane Fletcher is out for the season.

If a team can get through the preseason without sustaining any major injuries to any key players, it's considered a success.

After just one game, the Patriots can't call their preseason a complete success.

Third-year linebacker Dane Fletcher went down in the first quarter, and it was later reported that he tore his ACL, essentially ending his season almost before it began.

Fletcher made the Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of camp two seasons ago, playing mostly special teams to start.

James scored 19 points in the game, including seven in the fourth quarter. Kevin Durant led Team USA with 30 points on 8-of-18 shooting and had nine rebounds.

The early story was the shooting of Spain’s Juan Carlos Navarro. The veteran hit three 3-pointers in the first three-plus minutes of the game. But it was the performance of Pau Gasol in the third quarter that kept Spain alive. With his brother Marc on the bench with four

fouls, Gasol had the team’s first 13 points of the second half.

It was the final Olympic contest for head coach Mike Krzyzewski and guard Kobe Bryant, both of whom were intrumental in turning things around for the U.S. after a bronze medal finish in 2004.

“This is it for me,” said Bryant, who won his second gold medal. “The other guys are good to go.”
