If Massachusetts was able to collect sales taxes on transactions conducted over the Internet, the state could add $339 million to its coffers, money that could be used to fund transportation infrastructure, according to Treasurer Steven Grossman.

Dookhan is accused of mishandling thousands of drug samples that have already led to some suspected drug dealers being freed on personal recognizance. The attorney general’s office is investigating.

With the arrival of autumn, it’s easy to fawn over pumpkinspiced coffee and apple picking, but a good number of Bostonians are perked up for another reason — Oktoberfest.

The traditional beer holiday begins Friday and as Boston’s brew-friendly events are announced (see Friday’s Metro), it’s hard not to notice that the Hub takes its beer seriously.

Many craft beer enthusiasts say that Boston’s beer palate is becoming more refined.

“It’s more than just beer. It’s people getting more interested in honest food that tastes good and has a story behind it,” said Jeff Wharton, co-founder of Drinkcraftbeer.com, a site that spotlights local suds and offers instructions on home brewing.

Lots of Boston-area beer clubs are going strong, with hundreds of members meeting for tastings and beer-focused discussion.

Chris Parker, owner of Beersinboston.com, said that although Boston has been a beer town for quite a while — with Samuel Adams and Harpoon among the most popular micro breweries in the country — the city’s attitude toward beer has definitely shifted over the past few years.

“It seems that each month there is a new craft beer festival or event, and each month they are selling out,” Parker said.

Part of it, he said, has to do with the fact that craft beer popularity is on a sharp rise on the national level.

In August, the Brewers Association released data that shows craft beer is expanding faster than ever in the post-prohibition era. There are now more than 2,000 breweries in the U.S., with hundreds more in the planning stages.

“Boston is on the forefront of this charge for a few reasons,” Parker said. “One being its reputation and history within the industry, giving it somewhat of a head start, and the other being its progressive nature. Bostonians are willing to accept and try new things, so that has definitely helped the surge of craft beer’s popularity on the local level.”

When asked why Boston’s beer lovers are paying more at-

There’s no Bud, Miller or Coors at this bar.

Just what is a craft beer?

An American craft brewer is small, independent and traditional, according to the Brewers Association.

The beers often offer

“I think it’s a bigger trend toward more local, artisan, craftmade everything — food and drink products. Craft beer and spirits are catching up with that.”

JEFF WHARTON

tention to their suds, Harpoon CEO and co-founder Rich Doyle said part of it has to do with the seemingly endless food pairing possibilities, but it is also about choices.

“I think the great thing about beer is that there is a range you can get. ... You’ve got

unique twists on historic beer styles, and are generally made with traditional ingredients, like malted barley, but include “interesting” and sometimes nontraditional ingredients for distinctiveness. METRO/MR

such a broad spectrum of bitterness and body and malt richness and aroma. You’ve got so many things to work with, and you can really complement a wide range of food items.”

Witnesses told police that the men were later seen near Pleasant and Dummer streets stuffing the sweatshirts they were wearing into backpacks.

The first robbery occurred just before 2 a.m. Sunday on Hamilton Road. The two students said they were walking back to their apartment when two men approached them, showed a gun and took their wallets.

Studies question value of organic; consumers’ green goals are fading GETTY IMAGES

The organic foods market is abuzz, and not in a good way.

A study released by Stanford University last week asked if “paying a premium” for quality organic food stuffs was really “worth it.”

Unfortunately for the organics market, the answer from Stanford researchers was “not really.”

"Despite the widespread perception that organically produced foods are more nutritious than conventional alternatives, we did not find robust evidence to support this perception," the study says.

The study goes on to note that the organics market has grown from $3.7 billion in 1997 to $26.7 billion today, with consumers saying they want to live a so-called “green lifestyle” no matter what research studies say — at least for now, and with financial limitations in place.

Another study, this one released Monday by GfK Green Gauge, says green culture has gone “mainstream” in recent years but finds some limits. “At

Clapton

In the news Hong Kong billionaire offers $65M to any man capable of wooing lesbian daughter

$25M diamond and Clapton watch up for auction in Switzerland A diamond estimated at as much as $25 million and a platinum Patek Philippe watch owned by Eric Clapton are to be auctioned in Switzerland.

The Archduke Joseph Diamond is the star lot of a Christie’s International sale at the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues, Geneva, on Nov. 13.

The guitarist’s 1987 perpetual calendar chronograph with moon phases is up for sale the

day before valued at 4 million Swiss francs ($4.27 million).

“The best diamonds have become extraordinarily valuable,” Geoffrey Munn, managing director of the Londonbased jeweler Wartski, said in an interview. “There’s a sense at the moment that money is like sand running through fingers, and there’s a scramble to buy jewels as a hedge.”

A Hong Kong billionaire has offered $65 million to any man able to woo and marry his lesbian daughter.

Property and shipping tycoon Cecil Chao promised the “marriage bounty,” the BBC said, after reports that his daughter had wed her long-term girlfriend.

Mr. Chao, who has never married himself, told the

BBC his daughter was still single and needed a “good husband.”

Same-sex unions are not recognized in Hong Kong, although homosexuality was decriminalized in 1991. METRO

US feeling better than in 2009; skeptical of Obama JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/GETTYIMAGES

Better off?

More Americans see themselves as better off since Obama took office in January 2009. “I certainly don’t think it’s where we want to be, but it’s better,” says poll respondent Mica DarleyEmerson of Ohio.

43% BETTER OFF

33% WORSE OFF

The easing anxiety hasn’t translated into satisfaction with Obama’s handling of the economy. The margin is about the same as in the last Bloomberg poll, taken in June.

Obama may find poll stats raining on his reelection parade.

Public confidence in the U.S. econo- “Obviously, the my is bolstering President Barack president ... doesn’t Obama’s reelection chances even have a magic wand. as Americans continue to view his stewardship skeptically. ... But he’s a leader.

As recently as six months ago, He can’t just say the Americans were evenly split on whether their lives were better or Republicans are worse than when Obama took ofbeing obstinate. You fice. This question has been funhave no excuse damental to presidential campaigns since Ronald Reagan when you’re the posed it in 1980: “Are you better off now than you were four years president.”

TAKE THIS TO THE BANK: BIG DONORS GET WHAT THEY PAY FOR

Earlier this week, Mitt Romney came out in favor of regulating campaign finance — but only for donors that contribute overwhelmingly to Democrats.

DISAPPROVE

A

M

itt Romney would have to admit, then, that he has a massive conflict of interest when it comes to the big banks. All of Mitt Romney’s top donors work for the big banks. By contrast, none of Barack Obama’s top donors are banks; they are accounting and law firms, universities, software companies and (not surprisingly) federal government employees. By Romney’s own logic, Obama is far more likely to put the country’s interests ahead of the big banks, so massive and one-sided are the banks’ contributions to the Romney campaign.

Of course, it was Barack Obama in 2008 who received the overwhelming share of his campaign cash from the big banks, and look what they bought. For treasury secretary, Obama chose Tim Geithner — the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York who, from 2003-2009, was responsible for regulating the big banks (heck of a job, Timmy).

Obama’s Justice Department has failed to prosecute a single banker, despite evidence of rampant fraud. The big banks are still exposed to more than $200 trillion in derivatives bets — an

Young, Hispanics lack voter IDs Younger Americans, people without college educations, the poor and Hispanics are among the groups most likely to be unable to vote under new state laws requiring photo ID, shows Reuters/Ipsos poll data. REUTERS

Percent of voters ages 18-24, 5 percent of 8 Hispanics and 5 percent of those who have never attended college lack papers to vote.

53%

sked about the teachers union strike in Chicago, Romney said that the real problem is not their ability to strike — but their ability to give money to politicians.

“We simply can’t have a setup where the teachers unions can contribute tens of millions of dollars to the campaigns of politicians and then those politicians, when elected, stand across from them at the bargaining table, supposedly to represent the interests of the kids,” Romney explained, adding that, to avoid this conflict of interest, teachers unions should not be permitted to contribute to political campaigns.

Indeed, it’s hard to trust a politician who is notoriously greased by one side of a dispute.

The nation in numbers

Percent of those with a college 1degree or higher said they do not have IDs to vote Percent of people ages 55 and 98 up who have the right papers to vote Four percent of $25K households making less than $25,000 a year said they lack a valid photo ID. Two percent of $50K households making $50,000 or more said they lacked ID.

Quoted: Romney talks national unemployment

“I’ve been across the country. My heart aches for the people I’ve seen.”

41% APPROVE

MITT ROMNEY EXPRESSED EMPATHY FOR UNEMPLOYED AMERICANS. HE WAS JOINED BY GOLF LEGEND AND OHIO NATIVE JACK NICKLAUS.

A new poll shows that President Barack Obama leads Romney in Ohio by 10 percentage points and is ahead in both Florida and Pennsylvania by similar margins.

The failure to regulate campaign finance is the primary reason for our government’s inability to solve our biggest problems. Yet something tells me that neither Obama nor Romney will do anything about it.

dorothy.robinson@metro.us

Fakers!

The new issue of Us Weekly has a very entertaining cover story on how “Bachelorette” stars Emily Maynard and Jef Holm are faking their engagement.

I know, I know: It’s hard to believe that two fame junkies pretended to be together on a rigged reality TV show to gain attention, but stay with me here.

Apparently, Holm’s former girlfriend and current hookup buddy (who he was dating

when he went on “The Bachelorette”) went into tell-all mode to Us Weekly. The ex, Kaylee Shepherd, says that Holm revealed to her that he and Maynard are faking it. In August, a “texting scandal” hit — Maynard was caught sexting another man, which Us Weekly, the Woodward and Bernstein of tabloids, uncovered. Maynard, desperate to preserve her goodgirl image, hatched a plan to pay off Holm with half of her

“Bachelorette” money. “Jef said their relationship isn’t what it seems. It’s all basically for TV,” Shepherd tells Us. “It’s all basically for TV”?

You don’t say. Next thing you know, you’ll be telling me some actors and actresses get plastic surgery and/or take too many prescription drugs in order to fill the dark void that being famous created. Stop ruining my happy place, Us Weekly!

Don’t expect Miley Cyrus and fiance Liam Hemsworth to rush down the aisle anytime soon. “I already feel married.

I know we are forever. I don’t need the paper right now,” Cyrus tells Us Weekly.

“I don’t know when we will get married yet. We are still enjoying being engaged.

I’ve got so much planning to do with the tours and getting my record out. First I have my movie, then my record — then I’ll do my wedding planning.”

In 2002,

thousands of New England’s janitors went on strike to secure decent wages, health benefits, and fundamental dignity as workers. Modest gains were made, but large problems still remain. Most janitors are not provided health care or decent wages because they remain chronically under-employed. To make ends meet they must work long hours in a patchwork of parttime jobs, leaving them with little precious time to be with their families or communities.

Today, in a time of steadily rising profits for New England’s strongest industries, cleaning contractors want to take back what modest security janitors have gained.

As faith leaders, we decry this outright greed that would leave janitors and their families with even less means to provide for their basic needs.

Our many faiths reject as unjust those economic relationships that leave one party struggling for sufficiency. And we will stand firmly with immigrant janitors should they need to go on strike to gain this security for themselves and their families.

Janitors work hard to maintain clean environments that allow us to work, learn, and grow with dignity. It is time the business community offers them employment terms that allow them to do the same.

We stand Firmly With the Janitors.

‘Tis the season to give a tech toy Kiddie tablets and other tech toys top Toy Insider gift list Coming out on top? LeapFrog Enterprises Inc.’s LeapPad 2 The traditional toys that get a tech spin Tablets made for young kids and other electronic toys are expected to be found under many Christmas trees this year, as parents who are fans of gadgets such as Apple Inc.’s iPad look for products tailored to the younger set.

The Toy Insider, a holiday gift guide from a publisher serving the toy and licensing industries, as well as major toy sellers Walmart and Toys R Us, all put LeapFrog Enterprises Inc.’s LeapPad 2 on their lists of top toys for the 2012 holiday season.

In 2011, the first edition of the LeapPad was on several

lists and sold well. This year, an updated version of the $99.99 tablet has a faster processor, twice as much memory and an additional camera on the front of the device.

“It’s going to be the war of the tablets,” said Laurie

Other hot toys Other toys on the Toy Insider list include the Lego Friends Heartlake Stables, a Lego set geared toward girls.

hile New England is no stranger to beer fests, the city will see its first major cocktail-centric extravaganza take place next weekend with the Boston Cocktail Summit.

The gathering will bring together a showcase of fine spirits, cocktail tastings, informative seminars and lectures and appearances from some of the biggest local and international names in the bartending world.

Spearheaded by organizers and veteran Boston bartenders Alexei Beratis and Jamie Walsh, it comes at a time when Boston has finally carved out a respected space for itself on the na-

tional cocktail map.

“Boston has been a growing destination city, and our bartenders and cocktail bars have helped create that, but never received the recognition as the chefs ... have,” Beratis says.

“Over the past few years the recognition has started to come on the national level, but this type of event is long overdue.”

We tried to leave no level out, as this touches us all and has and will for years.”

Regional and revolutionary cocktails Though it’s similar to other established festivals, such as Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans, Beratis says there’s a decided Northeast feel to the event, including sessions that focus on rum, which he refers to as “the spirit that built New England.”

The festivities will also feature sessions that look into the historical aspects of punch and cocktails from the area in the 18th century.

“These give the event a more regional feel than others of this type,” says Beratis.

“Fear Fun” is the debut by Father John Misty, but the man behind the moniker, Joshua Tillman, has been putting out albums for the past eight years, recording as a member of Fleet Foxes, Saxon Shore and on his own as J. Tillman. These previous efforts, mostly characterized by their solemnity, bear little resemblance to his recent outpouring of manic psychedelic folk.

“I was obliged to make some changes after some realizations that I had about myself,” says Tillman. “I was on autopilot for a few years with the J. Tillman thing.”

On “Fear Fun,” the songs ooze with an exuberance of being born again, but for Father John Misty that doesn’t necessarily mean a pious awakening.

Against some of the same warm quilts of harmony that make Fleet Foxes sound so comforting, Tillman sings words that are frank and funny and often deal with sex and drugs. If it weren’t for this content, you could almost picture him dancing to these funky songs with some groovy mon-

ster on “The Muppet Show.”

His voice is one of confidence and clarity, and against the dark decadence of his lyrics, it blurs the line between reverence and irreverence.

As opposed to the bleak and serious artwork on his solo records, the album art on “Fear Fun” is deeply hallucinogenic, with liner notes inside that provide commentary and peculiar subtitles for each song.

Tillman says coming up with this part of the album was a cathartic process.

“I was just sick of identifying myself as a songwriter and subsequently like a failure of a songwriter or something,” he says. “Around that time, the sound of an acoustic guitar made me nauseous, like I couldn’t even deal with it, and so I left Seattle and I just wanted to get back to my humanity.

And it’s funny because with songwriting, you get so used to only pulling from certain aspects of your imagination or your emotional quotient. You get so used to farming from these very specific parts of yourself that at some point you

Bored again: Joshua Tillman does not seem amused by the muses.

Nothing is sacred In addition to the new name with which Father John Misty has ordained himself, “Fear Fun” teems with references to biblical figures and holy places. But Tillman says nothing is sacred here.

“Really, it just kind of aligns with my sensibilities of what I think is funny,” he says. “I do think music that is popular right now is so insubstantial, and there is very little acknow-

ledgement of prevalent images or mythology. ... I know that religion is like an antiquated thing, but it still, for whatever reason, really resonates with people, and the subversion of those images resonates. It’s not out of devotion, but if I’m going to write from my conversational voice, there’s tons of that s— rattling around in my brain just from my formative years, and I really get some enjoyment out of subverting conventional wisdom regarding those symbols.”

start to believe that those are the only parts of yourself that have substance or worth. I was just sort of sick of feeling like a one-dimensional entity in terms of creativity, so I started writing up the book that’s in the album and I wasn’t beholden to these aesthetic parameters that I was musically. I quickly discovered what I perceived to be far more engaging in that medium, creatively. I was laughing a lot the whole time I was writing.”

Tony Savarino: ‘Guitaresque’ hero ELIZABETH MCBRIDE

Being able to call yourself Boston-based is one thing — Boston-bred is another. They don’t come more homegrown than South Boston native Tony Savarino, who still lives in Fort Point, near where he grew up.

His new record, “Guitaresque,” is the result of the city’s musical stew.

“Two of my favorite guitarists in the whole world live in Boston: Duke Levine and Kevin Barry,” says Savarino, name-checking two players whose collective resumes include Peter Wolf, J. Geils Band, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ray Lamontagne and Paula Cole.

If you go Tony Savarino and The Savtones Tonight, 9 p.m.

Lizard Lounge 1667 Mass. Ave., Cambridge $10, 21+, 617-547-0759 www.lizardloungeclub.com

Levine guests on “Guitaresque.”

“Basically, I’m ripping off a lot from Duke, and I’m not ashamed to say that. He and Kevin mentored me quite a bit.

They are kind of like the roots guitar gods. My code names for

them is that Duke Levine is Yoda and Kevin is Obi-Wan Kenobi,” he laughs, before saying, “Yeah, I’m a total geek.”

By day, Savarino is a guitar teacher, and his student alums’ bands include the Luxury and the Crushing Low. But he also counts hobbyists and would-be rockers as clients.

“Because of where I live, a lot of my students work in the Financial District. I teach guitar to most of the 1 percent,” he jokes.

Savarino also plays in local psych rockers Black Fortress of Opium. As a self-confessed former heavy-metal kid, Savari-

Tony Savarino loves that dirty water.

no’s objective was to create music with broader appeal than the widdly-diddly extravaganzas of Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai. Once again, Boston stepped up.

“I have to thank the city of Boston, because Boston has great college radio stations.

They exposed me to so much different music: weird ’50s instrumental music, French pop from the ’60s. I’m listening to this all the time ... and thinking of ways to make guitar music without it sounding all, I don’t know, Cirque du Soleil — music that’s proficient, but doesn’t say anything.” LINDA LABAN

This defense is too nasty, too mean-spirited to stay down.

Bounce-back week.

RAVENS (2-1)

The win over New England was the most inspirational game played — for Torrey Smith’s bro — since the Brett Favre tribute to his dad. And just as successful.

CARDINALS (3-0)

Don’t look now, Arizona is legit.

With a swarming, attacking defense, they just need Kevin Kolb to manage the game. Can he do it?

6

GIANTS (2-1)

Eli Manning is hitting mid- to lateseason form earlier than expected. More impressive, the Giants are winning despite key injuries to starters.

Very dangerous combo.

7

BENGALS (2-1)

Some say razzledazzle plays like Mohamed Sanu’s bomb to A.J. Green mask weaknesses. We say, if you can execute it properly, it’s pure genius.

8

SEAHAWKS (2-1)

Controversy aside, Pete Carroll’s defense, led by the Legion of Boom, is a nightmare matchup for any team. And no one wants a road game in Seattle. No one.

9

PACKERS (1-2)

As stifled as Aaron Rodgers and Co. looked at times Monday night, they still won the game. Yes, they won that game. End of story.

We still don’t know what kind of team this is.

They could be 0-3. Mike Vick could get benched. Andy Reid might trim his mustache. Still, they are in the thick of it.

RESEARCH STUDY

Calling the shots McDaniels’ play-calling has been all over the place in the early going What he’s doing different than Bill O’Brien Not nearly as pass-happy GETTY IMAGES

With the insane popularity of fantasy football and the video game series Madden, every slob across the country thinks it must be easy to make the split-second decisions on the sidelines that can ultimately win or lose games in the NFL. That’s more so the case here. When you have a team with a Hall of Fame quarterback and incredible weapons like Rob Gronkowski, Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd and Aaron Hernandez, it should be simple to hang 40 points on the scoreboard — no matter the opponent.

Only three games into the 2012 regular season, it’s impossible to make any grand statements on offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels’ latest tenure. He does, however, appear obsessed with wide re-

Josh McDaniels hasn’t found the rhythm he had with the Pats offense the last time around.

ceiver Julian Edelman and running back Danny Woodhead. They can both make plays, but he doesn’t seem to realize that they are best utilized in small doses. How do you explain Woodhead getting

more carries than Stevan Ridley Sunday in Baltimore?

O’Brien’s units were always near the top of the league in points and a slew of offensive categories — hence why he got that awful job in state col-

lege — but what was his particular style? I’d have to say using Brady primarily out of the shotgun formation and throwing the ball all over the field to a variety of receivers. That’s not exactly revolutionary, since you could say that about many teams in the current NFL. But it got the job done for the most part.

O’Brien also favored throwing the ball in pretty much any situation other than shortyard and goal line opportunities for BenJarvus Green-Ellis or running out the clock.

Again, that’s how it is around the league: It’s all about the passing game, particularly when you have such great skill-position players.
