Boston gets enlightened with Dalai Lama visit The Dalai Lama visits Boston to talk love, compassion, forgiveness and peace, man The T, Red Sox fans and spirituality can really coexist ERIN BALDASSARI/METRO

The Hub is getting a big dose of spirituality this week thanks to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, who kicked off his three-day tour yesterday with a lecture at The Boston Marriott Copley Place.

As thousands of hushed guests hung on the whispered words of the exiled spiritual leader, it seemed obvious that Bostonians are interested in looking inward and finding peace.

The Dalai Lama advised guests to focus on compassion, forgiveness and education as a means to ending ignorance, which can lead to violence.

“I believe the basic nature of human beings is mindful, and the source of our trouble is ignorance,” he said.

Each one of us, he said, should feel we have the potential to have compassion and to also make a positive change in

“The ultimate source of peace is here,” he said, putting his hand over his heart.

The unidentified juvenile from Dorchester was arrested Saturday, Boston police said.

The teen allegedly fatally stabbed Cherby LaJoie to death earlier this month.

Authorities have not discussed a motive and have not commented the relationship between the teen and LaJoie.

Police arrived to Charles Street in Dorchester just after 1 a.m. Oct. 6 and found LaJoie, of Boston, suffering from multiple stab wounds.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police are still investigating the crime. METRO

Places to ‘omm’ out It is easy to feel enlightened this week if you’re one of the lucky few to listen to the Dalai Lama give lectures in the Boston area, but inner peace isn’t built in a week.

The Hub has spots to help residents get their “omm” on after “His Holiness” hightails it out of town.

The Boston Maum Meditation Center in Arlington teaches a seven-step method to cleanse the mind and body of the ego, the delusion of “self.” The process reportedly helps students attain wisdom and better know reality. The center offers free lectures to newcomers on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Mindful Boston on South Street offers stress reduction programs, which include lectures, discussions, meditations and gentle yoga.

Even Southie offers a sanctuary for spirituality. Transcendental Meditation Boston teaches a meditation technique that allows the mind to “settle inward, beyond thought.”

A veteran city employee will face a judge today to answer to charges that he allegedly possessed and exchanged pornographic pictures of boys.

James Mansfield, 47, is expected to be arraigned on child pornography charges today in Charlestown District Court. He was arrested Friday night in his Charlestown home.

Mansfield has worked for the City of Boston for 28 years and was most recently employed as a manager in the city’s transportation department. His title is executive assistant, city officials said, and according to payroll records he made just more than $104,000 last year.

He was arrested by detectives from the Boston Police Department’s Crimes Against Children Unit.

An Internet investigation by police led to Mansfield’s arrest.

“An Internet investigation revealed Mansfield was engaging in graphically sexual chat and exchanging pictures of boys in various stages of undress,” Boston police said.

Police said they executed a search warrant of Mansfield’s home and said they uncovered evidence on his personal computer.

Suspects in BU armed robbery cases are due in court today COURTESY BROOKLINE POLICE

The alleged suspects as seen around the time of the third robbery on Oct. 5.

The Boston University community can rest a little easier as the young men who police say are responsible for at least two armed holdups in a recent string of robberies will likely face a judge today.

Taquari Milton, 17, of Roxbury, and an unidentified juvenile were charged on Friday with two of the robberies and were scheduled to be arraigned today in Brookline District Court on two counts of armed robbery.

A third suspect, also an unidentified juvenile, turned himself over to authorities Thursday night when he showed up at the Brookline Police Department with an attorney, police said.

All of the victims of the robberies were BU students or recently graduated from the school.

As fear within the BU community continued to grow after the fourth holdup last week, police released surveillance images of the three suspects and college officials offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of at least

The new model will have a screen that’s 7 inches to 8 inches diagonally, less than the current 9.7-inch version.

iPad could undercut the tablet ambitions of Google, Microsoft and Amazon.com, according to Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee & Leach Inc. Google’s Nexus 7 tablet and some versions of Amazon’s Kindle Fire with 7-inch screens cost $199. Apple will likely price the mini at $299 or $349, Wu said.

“These competitors have a tough enough time competing against the 10-inch iPad,” Wu said in a telephone interview today. The lower-priced iPad model “will make the competition even tougher. It tells you how hard it is to beat Apple.

These other companies have to either lose money or break even on these products.”

Obama promises to be more aggressive during next debate JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/GETTYIMAGES

Campaign advisers to President Barack Obama promised on Sunday he would be more aggressive and energetic on Tuesday in his second debate against Republican challenger Mitt Romney after a passive, heavily criticized performance in their first showdown.

Since that first debate on Oct. 3, polls indicate Romney has erased Obama’s lead heading into the election. Obama and Romney debate again on Tuesday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. The final debate will take place on Oct. 22 in Florida.

In contrast, Vice President Joe Biden was far more assertive in his debate on Thursday night with Paul Ryan.

CONN CARROLL SENIOR EDITORIAL WRITER, THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

BEYOND POLITICS: OUR DISMAL ECONOMIC REALITY “Mr. President, you’re entitled to your own airplane and your own house,” Mitt Romney said at the first presidential debate in Denver earlier this month, “but not your own facts.” This play on the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s famous quote, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts,” is normally true. But not this month. Not when it comes to economic facts at least.

Preparing for the final battle

All’s fair in love, war and opportunities to make action figures.

Team Obama

“He’s going to be aggressive in ... his view of where we should go as a country.”

Polling averages showed Obama’s 1.3 lead at 1.3 percent, per Realclearpolitics.com.

Team Romney

“The president can change his style. He can his tactics. He can’t change his record.”

Days since the first presidential 10 debate in Denver, Colo.

O

n the first Friday of this month, the Labor Department published results from two surveys that depicted two completely different economic realities in the United States. Which report Americans choose to believe will go a long way in determining who will win the election next month.

The report most favorable to President Obama, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Current Population Survey (aka the household survey), found that 873,000 Americans got new jobs last month.

That is the most jobs created ever reported by the household survey since 1983. And it is the sole reason the nation’s unemployment went from 8.1 percent down to 7.8 percent.

How credible is that 873,000 jobs created number? As Wells Fargo analysts noted, September’s supposed household survey jobs gain was “more than four times the size of the average change over the past 12 months.” The last time the U.S. economy created that many jobs, in June of 1983, the economy was growing at 9.3 percent. Today, GDP is growing at just 1.3 percent.

W

ells Fargo referred to the 873,000 jobs growth number as “a black swan outlier.” Gallup’s chief economist, Dennis Jacobe, said the household survey “seems to lack face-validity.” This is what economic experts are saying about the economic report that Obama is using to make his closing argument to the American people.

Meanwhile, the report less favorable to Obama — the BLS Current Employment Statistics program (aka the employer survey) — showed just 114,000 jobs created in September. Not only was this report almost perfectly in line with what analysts were expecting, it was also consistent with what other economic indicators have been showing: Instead of getting better, the U.S. economy is actually getting worse. (For reference, when the household survey showed nearly a million new jobs were created in

“[Obama] knew when he walked off that stage and he also knew as he’s watched the tape of that debate that he’s got to be more energetic,” campaign adviser Robert Gibbs said.

“But the other thing he’s going to certainly do — I mean, we saw Governor Romney sort of serially walk away from his own proposals — certainly the president is going to be willing to challenge him on it as we saw the vice president challenge Paul Ryan,” adviser David Axelrod said.

Days before the next debate, in which 1Obama has promised to be more aggressive

Quoted

Since the economy stopped losing jobs in October 2010, we have been averaging 150,000 jobs created per month. .... But over the last six months, job growth has slowed to just 106,000 jobs a month. The Atlanta Federal Reserve estimates that we need 100,000 new jobs a month just to keep up with population growth.

59% EARLY VOTERS FOR OBAMA

31% EARLY VOTERS FOR ROMNEY

The Reuters/Ipsos 10 % poll’s credibility margin

is 10 percentage points.

June 1983, the employer survey did not diverge nearly as much, pointing to 418,000 new jobs.)

S

ince the economy stopped losing jobs in October 2010, we have been averaging 150,000 jobs created per month, according to the employer survey. But over the last six months, job growth has slowed to just 106,000 jobs a month. The Atlanta Federal Reserve estimates that we need 100,000 new jobs a month just to keep up with population growth. That means if the current rate of weak job growth continues, roughly 8 percent unemployment is the new normal. Worse, if the rate of net job creation continues to slow, as it has been doing for months, unemployment will tick up again.

So which report should voters believe? The household survey, showing rates of job creation not seen since the height of the Reagan recovery? Or the employer survey, showing the U.S. economy slowly sinking into another recession? Democrats have clearly decided to trust the household survey data. According to Gallup, consumer confidence has skyrocketed to prerecession levels ... but interestingly, only among Democrats. Consumer confidence among Republicans and Independents is actually falling — and with good reason. If Obama is reelected president, the American people are facing a $500 billion tax hike starting Jan. 1, which the Tax Policy Center estimates would translate into a $3,500 tax hike for the average American family. The payroll tax hike alone, which Obama and the Democrats have specifically said they will let happen, would take $1,000 a year from the average American paycheck — from the poor and rich alike. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that these tax hikes, along with $100 billion in scheduled spending cuts, would cause unemployment to shoot back up above 9 percent.

That’s economic reality no American wants to be part of.

In 2009, Huston authored a self-help manual for profs coping with this dirty little secret of higher education, “Teaching What You Don’t Know.� And, judging by the book’s success, it’s an all-too-common problem: The second edition will be released this month, and there’s already an audio book on the market, perfect for evercommuting adjuncts. “It became increasingly clear that one of the most stressful situations was when someone was teaching not just a new course in terms of preparation, but a new course in terms of having to learn new material,� says Huston. “People were embarrassed to talk about

that, but this is when they needed the most help.�

Based largely on case studies of 28 professors from a wide range of colleges and universities, Huston tackles the issue from course preparation to final exams. “This is the first book to talk openly about teaching outside of your expertise. Most books assume the opposite. So I had to look at the empirical literature differently to find research that might be relevant. I wanted to continually ask: ‘Who does the best teaching — and under what circumstances?’� says Huston. “There are strategies for managing the time. That’s a big concern: Not only do you want to know that your students are learning, but you want to make sure you can do this and have enough time to sleep.�

THE WORD

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

Forget the rumors of “Beverly Hills 90210” actors Luke Perry and Jennie Garth falling back in love after reuniting for an Old Navy commercial — here’s a pop culture reunion that’s

much, much juicier. On Thursday, Sean Penn sat “front and center” at ex-wife Madonna’s Staples Center concert and even visited her backstage.

Today, Hugh Hefner is an avid scrapbooker, Hugh Jackman is working on his special day, Stephen Fry is having a perfectly English afternoon and Sarah Silverman thinks you should just go for it. @hughhefner I’m working on my scrapbook this afternoon, Volumes 2610-1, covering May 27-June 1, 2012, including the return of Crystal. Happy days!

Thanks for all the best wishes!

@dorothyatmetro

We remember their union just like it was yesterday. But the real question is: Do they?

Talking points

An extremely excited (and pervertedly descriptive) source tells RadarOnline that during the concert, Madonna “stared Sean dead in the face, smiled, unzipped her pants, and mooned the crowd, but it was really like she was mooning Sean!” The source added that “he laughed and clutched his chest like he was going to pass out. She was wearing a black lacey thong, and her butt looked perfect! So smooth and tight ... like a 20year-old’s!”

After the show, Penn was spotted backstage “gushing” over his ex. “Sean was like a teenage boy meeting his idol,” another eyewitness told the site. “It was amusing and kind of cute.”

Penn and Madonna were married from 1985 to 1989; it was, by all accounts, a tumultuous relationship fraught with court cases, fights and the amazing disaster that was “Shanghai Surprise.”

But, hey — perhaps the past 30 years have mellowed out the stars. Oh, man — like an adult who continues to hold out hope that their divorced parents will get back together despite living in different states for 20 years, I want this so much.

been staying with Kunis while she films a new movie in NYC, and while there, they’ve done little to hide their new-couple status.

Kutcher and Kunis continue New York love campaign

Why did DeVito and Perlman split?

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis continue to sweep New

Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman separated last week after

York with their public displays of affection, this time treating themselves to some gelato in the West Village, according to People magazine. “When they walked out, Ashton fed Mila some of her ice cream,” an eyewitness says. “They were very cute together.” Kutcher has

30 years of marriage, and Radar Online insists DeVito’s reported tendency to romance extras on his film sets is part of the reason — and he’s apparently been at it a long time. One former colleague claims DeVito was up to no good as far back as 1990’s “Hoffa,” where he re-

Coming to New Jersey in 2013?

Psy and Bon Jovi? Yes, please In a revealing article in The New York Times, Psy, the Korean pop sensation responsible for “Gangnam Style,” comes clean about his celebrity obsession: Bon Jovi.

“Every musician in Korea, we learn from your pop — we get inspired,” he told the paper. “I was at the iHeart-

portedly hooked up with a young blonde. “It was kind of pathetic because she was very young and beautiful and obviously just having sex with him in hopes that he’d make her a star,” the source says.

DeVito’s rep, however, refutes the claims of philandering. “[Danny and Rhea] separated,” the rep says. “No reason was ever given. Everything is unfounded speculation.”

Cyrus and Hemsworth

Cyrus and Hemsworth get inked together They’ve already proven their devotion to each other by

Radio festival in Las Vegas, and when I walked down the hallway someone stopped me and said, ‘Are you Psy?’ And he said, ‘I’m Jon Bon Jovi.’ I grew up listening to Bon Jovi since ‘You Give Love a Bad Name,’ so this was a really touching moment. We took a picture and he uploaded it on his Facebook. It’s unbelievable.”

Makes sense: They both ride different types of horses. Bon Jovi’s is a steel one, while Psy’s is imaginary.

getting engaged and adopting more than enough dogs, but Miley Cyrus and fiance Liam Hemsworth apparently wanted to go a step further by getting complementary tattoos. In July, Cyrus had an excerpt from a Theodore Roosevelt speech inked on her forearm. Hemsworth has since gotten the rest of the quote tattooed on his forearm, according to Hollyscoop. Hemsworth’s arm reads, “If he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,” while Cyrus’ arm continues, “so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

The Moth prepares to land in Boston tonight

TV watch list

The host of one of the most popular podcasts on the StorySLAM, which will have a monthly local presence at Oberon Storytelling is ‘a weirdly level playing field,’ says Dan Kennedy

Kim Raver plays Captain Tom Neville’s wife, Julia, on “Revolution.”

SARA STACKE

Dan Kennedy estimates he listened to about 40 stories last week. He’s been involved with the storytelling phenomena known as The Moth for the past 13 years, but he says he’s often moved by what he hears.

“I’ll be sitting next to our producer, Jenifer Hixon, beside the stage, and I’ll still hear stories every night that just make me poke her in the ribs and go, ‘Oh my God,’” he says.

Kennedy hosts The Moth podcast, which is consistently one of iTunes’ top 10 most downloaded podcasts, and he hosts many of the live events that the organization presents in various cities. The Moth has showcased some of its brightest touring artists with its mainstage show in Boston, but tonight is the first time a Moth StorySLAM has come here.

With the StorySLAM, interested attendees put their names in a hat and 10 will be called onstage to tell a five-

minute story within the night’s given theme. Tonight’s theme is chemistry. Tellers also are not allowed to use notes or props.

“I often describe it as a cross between an audio book and rehab,” says Kennedy, “or between therapy and public radio. It’s amazingly and strangely affirming. I’ve made this joke probably too many times on stage, but there’s this certain point in the evening where I just wish we all lived together. I just wish all 400 of us had a huge A-frame somewhere in the mountains and we’d just move forward now in this life together.”

The beauty of The Moth is

Telling tales The Moth isn’t the only storytelling game in town. A few other places in the Hub where you can share true-life tales:

If you go The Moth StorySLAM Tonight, 8 Oberon 2 Arrow St., Cambridge $8, 617-495-2668 www.americanrepertory theater.org

Dan Kennedy, who is also known for writing the book, “Rock On: An Office Power Ballad,” says that when he discovered The Moth, he was living in New York City and was in what he laughingly calls “a fairly focused but arguably not stable period.”

Massmouth: Massmouth hosts several slams each month, including one tonight at Club Passim (47 Palmer St., Cambridge). The atmosphere is convivial and the time between slams is brief enough that if you aren’t called up to the mic right away, you’ll be able to give it a shot sooner than later. www.massmouth.com

that it’s often ordinary people telling extraordinary stories, although sometimes a wellknown teller will take the stage.

“I do love the fact that life is kind of a weirdly level playing field when it comes to telling stories,” says Kennedy. “It does not have to be that you were in this amazingly incredible, spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime situation.

That’s the case sometimes, but it doesn’t seem to be a common denominator in a mix of stories, which is captivating and I think is cool.”

‘Revolution’ DRAMA. Kim Raver joins the

cast as Tom Neville’s wife, the one thing that gives the bad guy a smidgen of decency. 10 p.m., NBC

‘How I Met Your Mother’ COMEDY. After careful consideration, Marshall and Lily choose a godfather for their son. And by careful consideration, we mean based on the outcome of a “legendary” contest. 8 p.m., CBS

REALITY. Round 2 of the verbal fisticuffs — er, the reunion — takes place tonight. 9 p.m., Bravo

‘2 Broke Girls’ COMEDY. Looking for advantage in the cutthroat cupcake business, the girls audition for “Cupcake Wars.”

from now on

Beach House on being choosy about commercials, not allowing interviewers to ask about their influences and how fans should go about enjoying their music

R

evered by critics and slowly making their way into the mainstream, Baltimore band Beach House have a growing awareness of the burdens of their fame.

Careful to protect their image but eager to engage with their fans, Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally have vowed to keep it meaningful as they promote their fourth album, the critically acclaimed "Bloom." So we went deep for this interview while Scally was on a break during their world tour.

If you go Beach House Tonight, 8 Wilbur Theater 246 Tremont St., Boston $30, 617-248-9700 www.thewilburtheatre.com Before doing this interview, your publicist told me not to ask about your inuences or ask any of the traditional boring questions. I get it. Do you feel sort of weary about doing these interviews now?

Wine Experience West Roxbury Wednesday October 17th 6pm – 9pm

Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand are Beach House.

Q&A There’s been controversy recently surrounding your refusal to let Volkswagen use your music in their commercial and keeping a lid on how much you share your music for those purposes.

Blanchard’s Wine & Spirits will host their semi-annual Grand Wine Experience.

This free tasting will feature more than 100 wines of various global origins, appetizers and a relaxed and informative atmosphere.

Just to clarify “keeping a lid on how much we share our music� — that’s not it at all. We love sharing our music, and if that ad had been amazing we may have done it. The ad was terrible. It’s more taste and it’s more use.

If a song is used well, it’s exciting to us. It could make a commercial better or a product better, or maybe we like the thing that they’re trying to sell. Trying to be uncommercial is not one of our goals. We’re a commercial band. We sell our records. We want to communicate to people as much as possible, but on our own terms.

All wines for sample at the

Grand Wine Experience will also be available at a

20% discount during the event.

Quoted

“Trying to be uncommercial is not one of our goals. We’re a commercial band. We sell our records. We want to communicate to people as much as possible, but on our own terms.â€? SCALLY ple. ‌ Whenever you get questions like ‘What are your influences?’ I always tend to think that’s just someone who hasn’t really listened to the music. We kind of made a conscious decision, after so many years of doing this band, we only want to do things that are meaningful now. We’re lucky that we can try to do it that way. No fluff.

In other coverage of your music, you’ve mentioned how there are so many generalizations about what you do — that it’s all about tones. Do you think there will ever come a day when you’ll swear o reading what people have written about you?

We don't read much of what people have written. ... We feel very lucky that we are asked to do interviews or that people care enough to do it. ... That comment about people paying attention to tones — I think that's bigger than our music.

We’re talking about a societywide trend that we've been noticing for a couple of years — people just creating music based just only on the vibe of

it. The song comes second. The lyrics come second. It’s all just a bunch of sound that feels good. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just commenting on it.

It’s not engaging on all levels.

Right. When we said that, we were just trying to tell people, well, we spend a lot of time on the songs and the lyrics. Please don’t let it be only felt on that level. If you consciously think about it at all, try to go somewhere else with it. It’s instructing the listener a little bit.

There are all these online lyric sites — are you annoyed when people list them incorrectly?

Victoria wrote all the lyrics out in the album art, so anyone who really cares will find the correct ones. I think it’s kind of interesting how there’s so much bad information on the Internet. It’s kind of this hilarious thing. It’s like this big bathroom wall with 10 billion people writing on it.

When is it time to ditch a frenemy?

THORNTONS BUDGENS/THORNTONS BUDGENS

News in brief

COMSTOCK

No Insurance Necessary Staff at the Thorntons Budgens convenience store in North London have their meetings on the roof, enabling workers “to get some fresh air, relax and see things from a different perspective,” manager Nathalie Quinn says.

KIM SCHNEIDERMAN, MSW, LCSW WWW.NOVEL-PERSPECTIVE.COM

W

hat separates friend from “frenemy” is the presence or absence of one essential ingredient: trust.

Trust is the litmus test of any relationship, period. Without trust, there can be no (healthy) relationship. So if you want to distinguish friend or foe, start by asking yourself, “Do I trust this person? Does he or she have my back?”

Don’t think too much, just listen to your gut. If your primary response was “no,” ask yourself “why?” Was it something this person did or said? If so, and the incidents were minimally to moderately upsetting, try testing your distrust by discussing your feelings with your friend, using specific examples whenever possible.

For instance: When you _______ (didn’t return my calls after my cat died) I felt ______ (sad and mad) The result was ____ (I wondered if I could trust you and whether you were truly my friend) I want to know___ (if you care about me and whether I can count on you when I’m down).

It’s hard to build a relationship when there’s no trust.

should be a pretty good indicator of whether the friendship has mettle.

Now if your gut response to my suggestion is “there’s no way I’m doing that,” perhaps the trust issues run deeper.

Still, it doesn’t mean you need to cut the friendship off entirely. Old friendships are usually harder to sever than newer ones, and so long as they aren’t toxic, may be worth preserving while minimizing contact.

Are there times to “ditch a frenemy?” Yes. Obviously, if your best friend sleeps with your boyfriend, it’s time to say goodbye (to both). But it need

not be so extreme. In the way that dead leaves sap the vitality of houseplants, people can benefit from pruning friendships that drain esteem nutrients and prevent growth.

If you feel like your socalled friend constantly undermines, competes with or disrespects you, there’s no reason to torture yourself — even for the sake of old times. You can either declare your intention (“This friendship isn’t benefiting either of us, so I’m ending it now”) or disappear quietly and gracefully. Either way, you’re being a good friend to yourself.

We should be gardening instead of working on Friday, a British think tank has claimed.

The “National Gardening Leave” report from the New Economics Foundation demands that employers introduce a four-day week and growing areas for staff to tend.

“The four-day week has huge benefits for employers,” report author Andrew Simms told Metro. “Studies show lower absentee rates and a more motivated workforce, and the business saves money by shutting down for a day.” A trial in Utah slashed absentee rates by 14 percent, saving millions of dollars, while the practice has become common in Germany and the Netherlands.

The benefits for workers are more obvious with reduced stress and more free time, Simms says: “For women, especially high-level executives, a shorter week is the only way to balance work and family life.”

The report does not suggest gardening should be

mandatory, but claims the activity has uniquely wide-ranging benefits including mental and physical health, community cooperation and improving the urban environment by creating green spaces. Simms says gardening is the “new rock and roll,” with a cross-demographic appeal shown by growing popularity in innercity areas. KIERON MONKS

Learn by example The Thorntons Budgens convenience store in North London has developed a roof garden, and manager Nathalie Quinn told Metro it has transformed the business.

“We have our meetings on the roof, and it enables us to get some fresh air, relax and see things from a different perspective,” Quinn said, adding that “we have a mixed cultural background here, and it has helped us connect as a team.”

CAMPAIGN FOR A NEW JOB myjobs

Career news

CREATAS

Starting your search? Take some cues from those running for the country’s highest-profile gig

A

job search isn’t that much different from a political campaign: You must outline a plan for your future and be able to clearly convey your qualifications to potential employers.

And although you may not be sweating under the hot lights of a prime-time debate, it can certainly feel like it during an interview. That’s why it’s best to have a campaign strategy.

Count on your volunteers Don’t be embarrassed to hit up your network and let them know that you’re looking to fill a new role at the right company. “Just as politicians rely heavily on their supporters, so should you,” says Uva Coles, dean of Career Management Services at Peirce College.

“Reach out to those in your circle of influence. Ask them to spread the word about who you

Facebook wants to be more than friends.

are and what you are looking for.”

POLKA DOT

Perfect your image From their flag pins to their blow-outs, those running for political office put a great deal of effort into presenting the right image. “Dress the part when you are networking at trade shows, meetings or other events,” says Bill Corbett, president of Corbett Public Relations. “Be sure to have a quality photo on your LinkedIn profile,” he adds.

What about those photos from last night online? “There is nothing wrong with personal photos online,” says Corbett.

“However, if you have doubts about how you appear in an online photo or video, take it down.” Besides, if you’re running for president one day, that photo may not be so harmless after all.

Job seekers are choosing Facebook over Twitter and LinkedIn

Image-savvy politicians have meticulous campaign strategies — and you should, too.

Get a feel for the field You need to understand more than just your goals and strengths — you must also understand how your opponents and employers operate. “As with debate preparation, you need to know how the other

side thinks,” says author and career expert Tracey Wilen-Daugenti. “Research hiring managers, your possible boss and the company itself using online information and social network profiles.”

LinkedIn may be the social network of choice for the professional world, but more job seekers are hunting for work on Facebook, according to a new survey.

Some 52 percent of job seekers use Facebook to help find work, according to the survey, conducted by recruiting tech firm Jobvite. That’s up from 48 percent in Jobvite’s survey a year ago. Both used a sample of more than 2,000

adults in the U.S., either unemployed or currently employed and looking for another job.

LinkedIn was used by 38 percent of job seekers, up from 30 percent; Twitter usage in the hunt rose from 26 percent to 34 percent. Both saw major jumps in overall usage among the workforce, while Facebook usage held steady.

There is plenty of consolation for LinkedIn — not least of which is the fact that it just edged out Facebook as the place to tweak your résumé. A quarter of job seekers added professional information to their Facebook account in the last year, but 26 percent did the same to their LinkedIn profile.

Perhaps most surprising, according to the survey, is the fact that dissatisfaction is rampant in the workplace.

Three-quarters of the U.S. workforce overall are actively interested in another job.

F

or Millennial Branding’s latest research study, we partnered with Beyond.com to survey 5,268 job seekers across generations, including Gen Y (ages 1829), Gen X (30-47) and Baby Boomers (48-67). While we found that all job seekers are spending most of their time searching online, regardless of age, there are generational differences.

Here are some of the more interesting findings across the three generations:

Generation Y

Web searches are preferred across the board.

Gen Y spends more time checking their online reputa-

tions than older generations.

They are more optimistic about finding a job, are finding jobs relatively quicker and value workplace flexibility.

Relative to older generations, they are considering going back to school or starting businesses as an alternative to finding a job.

The quality that Gen Y val-

ues most in an employer is location, followed by meaningful work and then job security.

Before interviews, Gen Y spends the most time practicing hypothetical questions, and they are also more inclined to customize their resumes and cover letters.

Generation X This age group values job security and has suffered more stress and frustration due to unemployment relative to others. While 72 percent of those surveyed are stressed out from work, 44 percent are depressed from not finding work. Aside from job security,

they are looking for employee benefits such as health care.

Baby Boomers The Boomers prepare for interviews by reviewing the company’s website and are more inclined to search for news about the company they are interviewing for. They also feel like they suffer from age discrimination over other generations. Boomers aren’t as interested in starting companies or going back to school as alternatives to not finding work.

thing I concur with news columnist Gregory Kane on is the title of his column. President Obama in fact regularly picks up old right-wing positions and pushes them only to be outflanked to the right by the GOP’s “populist” reactionaries whose main agenda seems to be stopping the U.S. government from helping America’s poor and middle class. It’s shameful that Metro continues to allow Gregory Kane to subject its readers to this tormenting of reality. It’s also unfortunate that our national debates are limited to two parties. I suppose if the people never get to hear pro-

The idea that the likes of Schopenhauer (proponent of empathy), Beethoven (“Ode to Joy”), Mother Theresa and Gandhi show an incapacity for love is a bit jarring. Sometimes the “significant other” is man, art, a hobby, science or an abstract idea.

COSTLY MISTAKES ON OFFENSE

The offense continues to pile up the yardage (475 yesterday), but Tom Brady and company coughed up several scoring chances. The decision to go for a touchdown with six seconds left in the first half, a decision that resulted in an intentional grounding by Brady that ended the half, and an interception in the end zone early in the fourth quarter took at least six points off the board. Brady threw another pick in Seattle territory on the prior possession and had a second intentional grounding in the fourth. Number 12 was not sharp at all in the second half.

YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK

What we learned in the Patriots’ 24-23 loss in Seattle yesterday:

The returning Aaron Hernandez made plays early, though not so much in the second half.

CAN’T ENTIRELY BLAME THE DEFENSE

The New England defensive unit continues to do two things very well: Force fumbles and stop the run.

The Pats have caused nine fumbles in the last three games, recovering all but two of them. The Seahawks lost two of their three fumbles Sunday; the one they

recovered was akin to a turnover as Seattle punter Jon Ryan dropped a snap and was engulfed by New England defenders before he could get off a kick. And by limiting Marshawn Lynch to 41 yards on 15 carries, the league’s eighth-ranked rushing defense (entering the game) effectively eliminated Seattle’s best weapon.

That said, the secondary continues to get burned on long passes, mostly down the middle, as was the case on wide receiver Sidney Rice’s game-winning 46-yard touchdown grab with 1:18 left. New England entered the game having given up 27 passing plays of 20 yards or more, easily the most in the NFL. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had six such completions in this one. There were multiple cases of Patriots defensive backs failing to turn and find a long ball before it was nestled in the opponents’ arms. It’s open season on the Patriots’ secondary, which is quite dangerous in a passhappy league.
