He isaccused of using about 75percent of the lottery’s $2million budget to run ads inthe final months before the2010 election that promotedthe lottery as a well-managedorganization that gives fundsback to cities and towns.Cahill, who as treasurer over-saw the state lottery, ran asan independent candidate forgovernor in 2010. The trialwas scheduled to start Mon-day, but with the storm clos-ing state offices, it wasunclear what day it would be-gin. METRO

The National Weather Serv-ice in Taunton said Sandywas expected to make land-fall along the Central NewJersey coast sometime Mon-day night. However, becauseof her size, her impact will befelt throughout the regionbefore she hits land, accord-ing to the weather service.
Wind gusts of more than 50
mph were expected tobreeze through the regionstarting at 8 a.m. today.The worst of the storm isexpected to hit the Bostonarea this afternoon intotonight. Wind gusts could bebetween 60 and 80 mph.Tomorrow is expected to be atransition day where thingsbegin to improve, said LanceFranck, a NWS meteorologist.It will remain breezy untilFriday.

ERIN BALDASSARI/METROHurricane Sandy is soon ex-pected to make good on threatsof strong, damaging winds,widespread power outages andcoastal flooding as she movestoward the region.
“Because it’s such a largestorm it has a large wind fieldand its impacts will be felt farfrom the center of the storm,”said Lance Franck, a meteorolo-gist with the National WeatherService in Taunton.
The expectation of severeweather led to the cancelationof dozens of schools, meetingsand events yesterday as peopleprepared for the worst.
Boston Mayor Thomas Meni-no urged non-essential cityworkers to stay home and can-celed Boston Public Schools forMonday.
Lynn officials also canceledschool, and other coastal townsmade storm supplies such assandbags available to residents.
“We’re going to get throughthis. We are as well prepared aswe possibly can be,” Gov. DevalPatrick said yesterday from theMassachusetts Emergency Man-agement Agency headquartersin Framingham. He declared astate of emergency on Saturdayahead of the storm.
Forecasters predicted thatSandy, once a Category 2 hurri-cane with winds reaching 110mph, would bring strong windsto the Boston area. Wind gusts
could peak between 60 and 80mph and Boston could seeabout an inch of rain. Forecast-ers said that areas west ofBoston would see more rain —up to 3 inches — and slightlyweaker wind speeds.
Sandy’s stay
How will Sandycompare to Irene?Irene hit the Northeast inAugust 2011. As of Sunday, thatstorm ranked as the fifth costli-est hurricane in United Stateshistory, and caused at least 56

Power to the
powerless
If the region loses power, it’slikely your phone battery willsoon be turning red limitingyour texting, tweeting, Face-book and overall Internettime. But don’t worry. Yourlife isn’t over. Here are someof Metro’s favorite and ever-lasting ideas for you to passthe time while your power isout:
Play a board game. Whenwas the last time you actuallysat with some friends andplayed a board game? Re-member when you would begyour parents to play “Clue,”“Monopoly” and “CandyLand”? Well now is yourchance to do that. Sure, you’llhave to do it by candle light,but isn’t that better? Addsome drinks to the mix andbefore you know it, you’re afew hours closer to gettingyour power back. Just don’tburn down your home.
Read a book. Your phone,Kindle, television and com-puter are likely dead or dying.It’s the perfect opportunity togive your eyes a rest from allof that screen time. Break outthe candles and dive into thatbook you’ve been meaning toget to.
Get some rest. With every-one’s busy and hectic sched-ules it’s a great break from thegrueling pace of daily life. Geta good night’s rest and hope-fully the power will be backon by morning so you can getback to draining your phoneby endlessly posting how re-freshed you feel on Twitterand Facebook.

News in briefMenino hospitalizedwith virus followingreturn from Italy visitBoston’s Mayor Thomas M.Menino is being treated for avirus following his recent tripto Italy.
Menino was admitted toBrigham and Women’s Hospi-tal with a “flu-like virus” onFriday evening, according to aspokesman. He returned fromhis vacation in Italy late lastweek and saw his doctor onFriday when he wasn’t feelingwell.
His doctor said he shouldgo to the hospital as a precau-tion.
“He’s doing very well, andhe’s very actively involved inplanning and dealing withpreparations for the comingstorm,” said John Guilfoil, themayor’s deputy press secre-tary, on Sunday.
When asked for details onthe 69-year-old’s condition, aspokeswoman for Brigham

Menino left for the vacationon Oct. 14. The trip was sup-posed to include stops in Romeand Sicily as well as a Mediter-ranean cruise, according to re-ports.
“It’s Angela’s trip,” Meninotold the Boston Globe earlierthis month. “It’s our 46th wed-ding anni versary, and she hasbeen wanting to do this. She fi-nally found the trip she want-ed, and I acquiesced.”
This is not the first time themayor has returned from atrip to Italy with a medical ail-ment.
In November 2010, hepicked up a bacterial infectionafter scraping his elbow at aconference in Florence.

Hurricane makes landfall early today in New Jersey Obama warnsresidents to take heed of evacuation orders Storm is ‘very, very large’Tens of millions of peoplealong the U.S. East Coast gird-ed themselves yesterday forHurricane Sandy, a giganticstorm forecast to assault thedensely populated region withbattering winds, dangerousflooding and even heavy snow-fall.
Sandy, expected to comeashore late today, could delivera harsh blow to major cities inits target zone, including NewYork, Philadelphia, Washing-ton, Baltimore and Boston. Itscenter was forecast to strikethe New York-New Jersey areaand then move inland towardPhiladelphia and the rest ofPennsylvania.
President Barack Obama,speaking after a briefing at the
federal government’s storm re-sponse center in Washington,called Sandy a “serious and bigstorm” and asked residents toheed the orders of state and lo-cal authorities to protectthemselves from its onslaught.
“It’s a very, very large sys-tem,” National Hurricane Cen-ter Director Rick Knabb said.“The storm is going to carve apretty large swath of badweather, both water andwind.” REUTERS

News in brief Obama holdsslim lead with just 9 days to go
President Barack Obama hasextended his narrow lead overRepublican challenger MittRomney among likely voters ina race that remains statisticallytied nine days before the elec-tion, according to a Reuters/Ip-sos tracking poll released yes-terday.
Obama has a 49 percent to46 percent edge over Romney,marking a 1 point increasefrom Saturday but still withinthe daily online survey’s 4 per-centage-point credibility inter-val for likely voters.
Swings could be possible inthe remaining days of the cam-paign, however. Fifteen percentof registered voters say they
could change their minds andvote for a different candidate.
The precision of Reuters/Ip-sos online polls is measured us-ing a credibility interval. In thiscase, the poll has a credibilityinterval of plus or minus 4.0percentage points for likely vot-ers. REUTERS

Hurricane blowselectioneering off courseNASHUA, N.H./KISSIMMEE, FLA.President Barack Obama andRepublican challenger MittRomney campaigned feverish-ly in closely contested battle-ground states but changedtravel plans to avoidHurricane Sandy.
Romney held three ralliesin Florida, whose 29 electoralvotes are the biggest prizeamong states considered tooclose to call.
Romney told supporters inPensacola that Obama was fo-cusing his campaign on smallthings, and vowed to win theelection, to chants of “10more days, 10 more days.”
“Look into the future andsee the debt that’s beingamassed and say, ‘What isright for America?’ This is atime of big choices, of bigconsequence. It’s a bigelection,” Romney said.
Obama spent Saturday inNew Hampshire, whose fourelectoral votes could make adifference in the tight race.
“Ten days, NewHampshire, 10 days and you’llbe stepping into a votingbooth and making a definingchoice about the future of ourcountry,” the Democratic pres-ident said in a speech criticiz-ing Romney’s record on taxesand fees as governor of Mas-sachusetts.
New Hampshire is knownfor its low taxes. REUTERS
Even when issuing its regu-lations, Obama’s EPA oftenfails to follow the law. Instriking down an EPA ruleregulating power plants
earlier this year, a federal court saidthat Obama’s EPA “seems reluctantto acknowledge any textual limitson its authority under” the CleanAir Act.
Conservatives are not the onlyones who have documentedObama’s assault on the rule of lawand its impact on the U.S. economy.Every year, the World Economic Fo-rum issues a GlobalCompetitiveness Report, rankingmore than 100 countries on a num-ber of key economic indicators.When Obama was sworn intooffice, the United States was rankedas the best country in the world todo business. After just four years un-der Obama, the U.S. has dropped toseventh. The report specificallycites the collapse in the rule of lawin explaining this decline.
Before Obama waspresident, the U.S. ranked40th in “favoritism in deci-sions of government offi-cials.” Today, the U.S.
ranks 59th, a fall of 19 places. Before Obama was president,the U.S. ranked 50th for lowest “burden of government regula-tion.” Today, the U.S. ranks 76th, a fall of 26 places. Before Oba-ma was president, the U.S. ranked 28th in “transparency ofgovernment policy making.” Today, the U.S. ranks 56th, a fallof 28 places.
Our nation was founded on the idea that freedom could on-ly be preserved if a strong executive branch of governmentwas checked by an equally strong legislative branch. By choos-ing to assert his executive power over Congress at every turn,Obama has weakened our freedom. High unemployment andweak economic growth are direct results.

THE POWERSOF THE PRESIDENT“This is the worst economic recovery America has everhad,” “CBS Evening News’” Scott Pelley reported in July.And this past Friday’s Gross Domestic Product reportfrom the Commerce Department, showing the U.S.economy grew at an anemic 2 percent in the thirdquarter, confirmed Pelley’s conclusion. Since the Obamarecovery began more than three years ago, theeconomy has grown at the slowest rate of any recoverysince World War II.
There are many reasons why President Obama’s poli-cies have failed to create an adequate environmentfor even an average economic recovery. But one ofthe most important was his decision to embrace agoverning blueprint published by a progressive think
tank, the Center for American Progress.Published just days after Obama suffered a historic defeat atthe polls in 2010, the CAP’s “The Power of the President” re-port outlined how Obama could keep moving the ball on hisprogressive agenda without congressional approval.
“In the aftermath of this month’s midterm congressionalelections, pundits and politicians across the ideological spec-trum are focusing on how difficult it will be for PresidentBarack Obama to advance his policy priorities through Con-gress,” CAP President John Podesta wrote in his preface.
Some debate whether the administration should tackto the center and compromise with the new Houseleadership. As a former White House chief of staff, Ibelieve those to be the wrong preoccupations. Presi-dent Obama’s ability to govern the country as chief
executive presents an opportunity to demonstrate strength,resolve, and a capacity to get things done,” Podesta conclud-ed.
And “get things done” without Congress is exactly whatObama has done. This week, House Majority Leader Eric Can-tor, R-Va., released a new report, titled “The ImperialPresidency,” detailing more than 40 separate occasions whereObama has written, rewritten or ignored federal law withoutany input from Congress.
For example, the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980requires all federal agencies to produce semiannual regulato-ry agendas in April and October every year. But after business-es freaked out over last year’s Environmental ProtectionAgency agenda -- an agenda that self-reported more than $130billion in annual regulatory costs -- Obama’s EPA failed to is-sue either of the required regulatory plans this year. As a re-sult of this illegal omission, businesses now lack the informa-tion necessary to make investment decisions. Regulatory un-certainty translates to less business investment. Less businessinvestment means fewer jobs. That’s a major reason why Oba-ma is still a net job-killer as president. U.S. businesses employ61,000 fewer Americans today than they did when Obamatook office, even though the working-age population has in-creased by 9 million.

As the Supreme Court reevalu-ates Affirmative Action in theFisher v. University of Texascase, high school and collegestudents are left to wonder howthis could affect their lives inthe coming years. The case —brought on by Abigail Fisher, awhite student denied admis-sion to the University of Texasat Austin — challenges Grutterv. Bollinger, a landmark 2003case that upheld affirmative ac-tion in the college admissionsprocess.
The most drastic possiblechange would occur if the courtoverturned Grutter v. Bollinger,
thereby eliminating Affirma-tive Action as we know it. Thiswould make it unlawful forschools to take race into consid-eration at all in the admissions
process. Currently, collegesmay use race as “one of manyfactors” in creating a diversestudent body. With a decisionlikely in May or June, this couldcause some upheaval in the ad-missions process for 2013, asschools adjust to the new law.
“If the court overrules Grut-ter, I think you’re going to see ashift to a very explicit focus onsocioeconomic diversity as thekey factor in admission,” saysDaryl Lapp, a Boston-based at-torney who filed a brief on be-half of Northeastern Universityin the Grutter case.
The result would have no
bearing on the status of currentcollege students, though somethink it could affect them indi-rectly. “If the court overturnsGrutter, I believe that studentsare going to see a more uni-form — less diverse — studentbody coming up behind them,”says Allan Van Fleet, a Houston-based attorney, who filed afriend of the court brief in theFisher case.
Another possibility is for thecourt to uphold Affirmative Ac-tion in a general sense, but findUT at fault in the way they ap-plied it. It’s hard to say how thiswould affect students, but itwould likely cause a few nar-row changes in the way appli-cations are processed.
And still yet, the court coulduphold Grutter and, further,find the UT method lawful,
which could encourage schoolsto more actively consider racein constructing a student body.
Many experts are predictinga split decision; a tie would up-hold the current law. But, saysLapp, “with this court, I would-n’t bet money on any out-come.”

RuPaul hosts “RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race,” airing Mondays at 9 p.m. on Logo.
MATHU ANDERSEN
Working it, againQueens return for another shot at glory on ‘RuPaul’s All Stars Drag
Race’ RuPaul on dream jobs, the contestants and politics as usualAfter four seasons of fiercecompetition — with a fiercelyloyal cult following — drag su-perstar RuPaul is giving 12 for-mer contestants another shotat glory with “RuPaul’s All StarsDrag Race.” But don’t expectthe outspoken host and judgeto admit to any favorites.
So what’s new this season?Well, obviously, we have theall-stars, who are basically theAvengers of drag. These are thebiggest and the best. They areavenging the fact that these arethe girls who did not win thetop prize, so they’ve got some-thing to prove. Even the weak-est competitor has anincredible story to tell, becausethese are kids who come frombackgrounds where they’vebeen ostracized and shut out,and they’ve persevered. We all
live in a patriarchal, masculineculture, and doing this kind ofwork, to go against the grainlike this, is nothing short ofheroic. Do you have any favoritesamong the all-stars?I’m the mommy, I cannot playfavorites. Of course, I have fa-vorites, but I can’t tell anybody.[Laughs] I have the best job inthe world. I’ve always lovedqueens, I’ve always loved peo-ple who dance to the beat of adifferent drummer, and I’vefound myself in the best job inthe world. If you really got tosee what I do throughout theday, I love creativity. I love totake something apart and re-build it and see what makes itwork. And when we’re produc-ing this show, before the cam-eras roll, we’re putting togetheran ensemble of creative people
to be our competitors, butwe’re also putting togetherthese challenges that are reallykind of life challenges in dis-guise — wrapped up in pretty,funny packages. And also I getto usher these incredible enter-tainers into the big time, be-cause our show is seen in 25different countries around theworld.You’ve always been one of thestrongest voices in bringingdrag culture into mainstreamculture. Do you feel like you’restill fighting that battle?Honey, I wouldn’t call it a bat-tle. I ain’t fighting nobody. I dothings that I enjoy and if peoplewant to come along for theride, right on.
NED EHRBAR
METRO WORLD NEWS IN LOS ANGELES
On the electionCould you come up withdrag personas for BarackObama and Mitt Romneyfor us?You know, politics is so bor-ing to me — Washingtonpolitics is so boring to me.The politics of the heart, so-cial politics and emotionalpolitics, that’s all interest-ing. But Washington poli-tics, those people don’tbelieve what they’re saying.They’re saying things justso people will vote forthem. Smart people don’tthink that way, and theseare smart people. Theydon’t think that way, and soit’s hard for me to get inter-ested in that.

Gerard Butler and his “Chasing Mavericks” co-star Jonny Weston head in from the sea.
Gerard Butler’s near death experienceGerard Butler had only themost basic appreciation forsurfing before he set to workon “Chasing Mavericks” — andthat’s putting it mildly. “I hadsurfed about three or fourtimes in my life,” Butler admits.The Scottish actor knew he’dhave to amp up his game if hewanted to properly capture theessence of surfing great FrostyHesson, who taught teenagerJay Moriarity (played by new-comer Jonny Weston in thefilm) to ride Mavericks, themost dangerous waves in thecountry.
Not one to shy away from achallenge, Butler dove right in— and paid for it with an epicwipeout. “Jonny Weston and Iboth surfed Mavericks. It waswhere I was taken down,” But-ler says with a coy smile. Get-ting pulled under a wall of wa-ter, his admiration for whatthese athletes do only intensi-fied. “It taught me a lesson. It’s
“It's incrediblymeditative andspiritual. I foundthe wholeexperience reallytransformative.When you get upon that wave andbecome one with it,you just becomeone with nature.”BUTLER ON HIS NEAR-DEATHEXPERIENCE SURFING WHILEFILMING ‘CHASING MAVERICKS’

not a pleasant experience,” heoffers.
Even though that momentsent him to the hospital, Butlermarveled at the sport’s ability
Why he headed for ‘Surf City’Now that Butler has the experi-ence under his belt, he looksback fondly on the moment heknew that “Chasing Mavericks”
would be his next film —which happened to coincidewith a completely differentkind of lesson.
“I was learning to fly a heli-copter along the coast. I sawall the guys on surfboards. I
was like, ‘What am I thinking? Ineed to get a place in Malibuand I need to take this movieand learn how to surf!’” Butlersays. “I touched down andcalled them and said, ‘Let’s doit!’”
On the job training is par for the course when it comes to acting, but this Scottish actor got more than hebargained for while surfing on the set of ‘Chasing Mavericks’ What served as inspiration for taking the role
20TH CENTURY FOX
to foster a Zen-like feeling inthe surfers as they ride thesemonsters of water. “It’s incredi-bly meditative and spiritual,”Butler explains. “I found thewhole experience really trans-formative. When you get up onthat wave and become onewith it, you just become onewith nature.”
The second challenge facingthe actor was portraying a real-life individual, and Butler want-ed to do Hesson justice as acomplex individual. “He’s avery philosophical character,and he’s well-read. So I wantedto play that guy who enjoysthat, but at the same time, heharbors a lot of pain,” Butlersays. “There’s the person youexperience, but he also nowknows the stories being toldabout him.” It was an effortthat mirrored his last film, “Ma-chine Gun Preacher,” alsoabout a real, larger-than-lifepersonality. “I experienced thesame with Sam Childers,” But-ler explains. “They becomeused to telling their story topeople who are interested intelling their story, rather thanthe person who was living thestory.”

Not only is this socialcomparison not nor-mal, but it’s also un-healthy. Standards and
trends are set, expectations cre-ated and hence, there’s the per-petual, exhausting quest to belike someone else. It’s all be-cause that’s what we thinkwe’re supposed to do. Our ex-pectations are in part based onwhat we see around us. For in-stance, we might look towardcelebrities to form a standardof how we think we shouldlook, or the style of clothes weshould wear. In your case, yousee highly accomplished peo-ple and feel inferior and asthough you should be doingwhat they do. Expectations arealso formed by pressure fromfamily. For example, Mom andDad might pressure you to getmarried and have a child.
Though it is impressive tohave published a book oramassed a fortune by age 30,
these people don’t representthe norm and are truly outliers,and therefore do not make fora good comparison. Motivesthat are internally driven arefar more powerful than thosethat come from external forces.
Set goals based on your stan-dards and expectations, notthose of others. Focus on yourown accomplishments and the“pretty good life all around”that you have. Trust me: There
are countless 30-somethingswho would be thrilled to have“a decent job” and “an awe-some boyfriend.”

A networking event can putyou in touch with everyonefrom hiring managers and re-cruiters to company heads, allof whom might be a valuablelead for a new job.
Like any smart job seeker,you’ll look your most profes-sional with well-maintainedand tasteful attire, every hairin place and shoes that pairstyle with comfort — youcan’t network when your feethurt.
However, you may haveoverlooked an important ac-cessory that can send evenmore signals than yourwardrobe: the drink in yourhand.
BeerBeer is a safe bet. It’s conven-tional, relaxed and has theright amount of “after-work”feeling to it. If you’re at anevent for several hours, noone will begrudge you havingmore than one.Tip: Be sure to ask for a glass(preferably not a plastic cup)and avoid anything with alime wedge. You’re there to
make connections, not picklecitrus fruit.
MartinisA martini perfectly capturesthe goal of a networking func-tion: making a strong impres-sion in a short time.
However, you may find ithard to close a promising con-versation when you can’t findyour business cards — or yourwallet, or your shoes, for thatmatter.Tip: While prefix-tinis (e.g.,crantini or appletini) and oth-er drinks served in martiniglasses lack the power of thetraditional martini, it’s best tosteer clear of the conical glassentirely.
Mixed drinksSince these drinks are small insize, it’s deceptively easy towind up with a glass full ofice, which can be distracting,particularly if you find your-self in a crowd with no tablein sight.
If this is your particularpoison, ask for a watered-
down drink in a highballglass, not a squat rocks glass.You want to be sure yourdrink has staying power.Tip: Seriously consider thebreath-effects of particularmixed drinks. Rum-and-cokebreath will make your “hello”sound an awful lot like “good-bye.”
ShotsDon’t. Just don’t. Tip: Don’t.

Cooking up aculinary careerThese days, everyone’s a food-ie. But if you’re looking towork in the restaurantbusiness — especially behindthe line — it’s going to takemore than an Instagram feedof your picture-perfect plates.
Established chefs willadvise you to spend some timereally thinking about this ca-reer choice and getting yourhands dirty in kitchens. While
a culinary degree certainlyisn’t necessary to be a topchef, it can be helpful.“Culinary education builds afoundation of skills that youotherwise may never acquire.It also teaches discipline andrespect — two things that arekey to any chef’s success,”says Larry Leibowitz, directorof culinary operations atGuckenheimer.
School also provides theopportunity to learn in slower-paced kitchens. “Culinaryschool was a vital part of myeducation,” says SimoneApostoli, chef at The BoweryKitchen in New York City.“You also learn as much, if notmore, by surrounding yourself
with successful chefs, being asponge for knowledge andalso through real life applica-tions.”
If you do decide to enroll ina school, make sure that theone you choose is keeping up-to-date with the latest trends,something that’s essential inthe service industry. ChefFrancesco Martorella teachesculinary skills at Star CareerAcademy. “We offer a modernsyllabus to give students a ver-satile learning experience,” hesays. “The students have im-proved with all the exposureof [Food Network], theInternet and the popularity ofbeing a chef.”

The number of U.S. womenemployed full-time grew afterthe worst recession in sevendecades even as the male work-force shrank. The number ofdollars in their paychecks rela-tive to men’s hardly rose at all.
Women earned about 79cents for every $1 made bymen, according to the 2009-11American Community Survey,a poll of 9 million householdsconducted by the U.S. CensusBureau. That was up from 78cents in the 2007-09 survey.The data, released last week,showed 680,300 more womenand 1.9 million fewer menwere working than during theprevious three-year period.
The report underscores thepersistent gender pay gap, in-dependent of occupation, ex-perience and education, an is-sue highlighted in the race forthe White House. PresidentBarack Obama has touted hissupport for pay-equity laws,and Republican Mitt Romneyhas tried to cut into Obama’slead among female voters by
blaming his policies for pover-ty among women. “Assump-tions about women’s roles andmen’s roles are stubborn andpernicious,” Lisa Maatz, direc-tor of public policy and gov-ernment relations for theWashington-based AmericanAssociation of UniversityWomen, said in a telephone in-terview. “There is still ab-solutely a sense that womenare the caretakers and so theyare less-valuable employees.”
At the current rate ofchange, the average year-round, full-time female em-ployee would reach pay paritywith the typical male workerin about 2063.
Author and teacher DougLemov made quite a splashwith his 2010 book, “TeachLike a Champion: 49 Tech-niques That Put Students onthe Path to College.” While re-searching it, Lemov spent thou-sands of hours observing effec-tive teachers as they practicedtheir craft. He soon discoveredrecurring techniques thatevery effective teacher he ob-served seemed to use in someshape or form.
In March of that year, Lemovwas featured on the cover ofthe New York Times Magazine.His calendar has been jam-packed ever since, as he leads“Champion” workshops across
the country. But now he wants to bring
his strategies to a wider audi-ence. In his latest, “PracticePerfect: 42 Rules for GettingBetter at Getting Better,” Lemovand co-authors Erica Woolwayand Katie Yezzi examine thescience behind getting better atvirtually any aspect of work.
“In working with teachers,we discovered an immense dif-
ference between get it and doit. It’s all about practice,” ex-plains Lemov. “Just because youunderstand what to do, doesn’tmean you’re able to do it. Butthen we discovered that this ap-plied to almost every profes-sion, so we decided to try to fig-ure out what it is about practicethat makes us better.”
And the results may sur-prise you. As Lemov found,practice doesn’t always im-prove performance. In fact, itsometimes diminishes it.
“All through our society areexamples of people who prac-tice things all the time, whodon’t get better. Practice is dif-ferent from doing something
over and over,” he says. “Prac-tice is doing it over and over, in-tentionally, breaking it downinto pieces, pulling out aspectsthat you want to get better at,and integrating feedback andmodeling. You’ve got to engi-neer a plan to make that timevaluable.” BRUCE WALSH
Pin yourway to anew jobSure, Pinterest is great for find-ing recipes, wedding dressesand learning how to make yourown deodorant, but this visual-ly-driven social media can alsohelp you find a job.
In an age where profession-al Facebook pages andTwesumes are becoming regu-lar additions to jobapplications, having a profes-sional Pinterest account canhelp you stand out from therest of the online crowd.
For those who aren’t famil-iar with the site, Pinterestallows its users to set up an on-line page and post original andshared content in the form ofphotos, much like you wouldpin something to a corkboard.The photo layout of the sitemakes it easy for readers to geta lot of information in a smallamount of space. It can be agreat way to showcase yourskills to potential employers,especially if you’re in creative ormarketing fields.
“The key to figuring outhow to present effectively onPinterest is to present visuallyeven for nonvisual stuff,” saysmarketing expert ChristopherPenn.
Instead of just telling peopleyou’re gutsy, pin a photo of youskydiving to your Pinterest re-sume board with the caption“Skydiving? Risk taker.” That’sexactly what Harvard businessschool graduate Jeanne Hwangdid. Jeanne used her board toshowcase her previous jobs, herinterests and even a picture ofher puppy.
While you can, and should,get creative with what goes onyour board, play it straight withyour headlines. Titling yourboards “Résumé” or “Portfolio”makes it clear what the purposeof your board is and makes iteasier to find if employers aresearching around. Just like withyour real résumé, prioritizeposts. Put the most importantinfo at the top and organizeyour board in a logical fashion.ISHANI NATH/ TALENTEGG.COM

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. Somebig responsibilities you’ve been suc-cessfully sweeping under the rugcould come up for air. Once they’reout, they could get nasty.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Some-one you know only casually couldmake a play for your friends. Sharingfriendships is one thing, but crossingyou out of the picture is another.
Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. Youhave exceptional leadership quali-ties, but don’t become too self-serv-ing. Victory will be far moregratifying if you include everyone in-volved.
Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. You natu-rally wouldn’t like it if someone putyou in a position to have to defendeverything you say. Bear this in mindshould a friend make a statementthat you disagree with.
Aries March 21-April 19. Althoughyou’re in a favorable cycle for jointendeavors, there could be condi-tions attached. Any colleague mustbe able to offer as much as you can.
Taurus April 20-May 20. When it

Undecided votersneed reality checkRE: “GIVE SOME HONOR ANDCREDIT TO UNDECIDED VOTERS”(METRO, OCT. 26-28) Newscolumnist Tom Foremanwrote very movingly indefense of undecided voters.They care deeply, they aremore informed about the is-sues, more aware of the can-didates positions. They soundlike the A list of Americanvoters, have more concern forthe impact of their vote thanwe partisan party faithful.
That looks very good onpaper, however, since their“problem” with PresidentObama is that “he is not verygood at the job.” I wouldcounter by saying, perhaps ithas escaped their notice thatfor the past four years, theGOP has been the party ofNO. Everything that the presi-dent has tried to do, from the
auto industry bailout, despitethe fact of the thousands ofjobs it saved, the affordablecare act, which would forcethe insurance industry to putand end to gouging the publicwith enormous insurancepremiums, to spending mon-ey to defend our embassies,the GOP has mostly votedagainst anything he has triedto do. I’m sorry, but I am notat all impressed with their ex-cuses for still being undecid-ed. They seem to be blissfullyunaware of the political cli-mate in D.C. since the presi-dent took the oath in 2008.RACHEL GARBER, VIA E-MAIL
Undecided put offno-win decisionsRE: “GIVE SOME HONOR ANDCREDIT TO UNDECIDED VOTERS”(METRO, OCT. 26-28) I was glad
to see that Tom Foreman un-derstands the psychology ofthe undecided voters. Yes, wetake our right to vote serious-ly; no, we aren’t particularlyimpressed with Mr. Obama’sjob performance nor theshifting rhetoric of Mr. Rom-ney. Moreover, we wonderwhy people care about ourvote every four years, as weare fairly sure those partisanfaithful aren’t concernedwith our overall happiness asAmerican citizens. So manycandidates will say anythingto win that we regard thetwo-party system as breadand circuses for false promis-es and unrealistic assertions. Iwill vote on Election Day, butI will withhold my decisionuntil I walk into the booth.No one has to remind me thatvoting is my political right.SUSAN BERTOLINO, VIA E-MAIL
Obama is still thebest in the WestRE: “INDEPENDENCE DOESN’TCOME WITH A NANNY ATTACHED”(METRO, OCT. 25) I’m not surewhere letter writer JohnMcLaughlin was getting hisresults from regarding thelast three debates betweenObama and Romney, but myscore card has it 2 out of 3 infavor of Obama. And the ideaas he calls it “the liberal biasmedia” is just a scapegoat fora sub-par performance onMitt Romney’s part for failingto debate foreign policy credi-bility in a realistic world. Andon that four years of so-calledfailure is also a misguided no-tion. Now although Obamadidn’t achieve all hisobjectives, he did achievesome, one in which he savedmany jobs in the auto indus-try and repaid the debt, andanother is by ordering thecapture of the mastermindbehind the 9/11 attacks.These are accomplishmentsand anyone who can’t seethat simply choose not to.JONATHAN PERRY, VIA E-MAIL

NFL Roundup
With Hurricane Sandy bar-reling in on the East Coast,the NFL saw some offensiveexplosions ahead of thestorm yesterday:
Steelers 27, Redskins 12 The Steelers improved to 3-0at home in their convincingwin. Pittsburgh’s defense wasable to contain RG3, holdinghim to only 177 yards pass-ing and 8 yards rushing.Lions 28, Seahawks 24 Titus Young’s 1-yard touch-down reception with 20 sec-onds left gave the Lions acome-from-behind win overthe Seahawks.Browns 7, Chargers 6 In the biggest surprise of theday, the Browns earned their
second win of the year byovertaking the Chargers inan offensive struggle. Cleve-land running back TrentRichardson’s touchdown inthe first quarter proved to bethe difference as San Diego’soffense could only connecton two field goals in the loss.Falcons 30, Eagles 17Atlanta continued to showwhy it is one of the bestteams in the league as it im-proved to 7-0 with a roadwin in Philly. Matt Ryantossed three TD passes.Bears 23, Panthers 22Robbie Gould’s 41-yard fieldgoal with four seconds re-maining gave the Bears thenarrow win.Dolphins 30, Jets 9Ryan Tannehill went down inthe first quarter, but Miamistill pounded New York.

Patriots 45 | Rams 7 Sunday, Nov. 11: vs. Bills, 1 p.m. (CBS)
Three things we learned in thePatriots’ 45-7 pounding of theRams in London:
1FULL THROTTLEThe game couldn’t havestarted off worse for New
England: St. Louis scored anopening-drive touchdown injust 2:35 to take an early 7-0lead. To make matters worse,it came via a 50-yardtouchdown pass from quarter-back Sam Bradford to receiverChris Givens. New Englandcould have panicked, but in-stead it was the opposite. TomBrady and Stevan Ridley ledthe Pats on a 78-yard drive oftheir own right after, eveningup the score on a Brady toBrandon Lloyd 12-yard touch-down midway though thefirst quarter. As you can seeby the final score, 45-7, theynever looked back.
2PASSING THE TESTNobody benefits morefrom Patriots scoring
drives than punter ZoltanMesko. On Sunday, it lookedlike he may not have had tomake a single punt. ThePatriots’ first six drives endedlike this: Lloyd touchdowncatch, Shane Vereentouchdown run, RobGronkowski touchdowncatch, Ridley touchdown run,Lloyd touchdown catch,Stephen Gostkowski fieldgoal. It wasn’t until the 2:28mark of the third quarterwhen the Rams receivedtheir first punt, a touchback,from Mesko. He punted oncemore in the fourth quarter.The moral of the story is thatthe Patriots’ offense wasclicking on all cylinders, theway everybody thought itshould.
3ALL IS WELL ... FOR NOWIt’s been a very up-and-down season for the
Patriots, but there’s nodoubting the fact that theyhead into their Week 9 byeon a high note – perhaps thehighest of the season. Notonly did the offense lookgood, but the Pats onlyallowed 205 passing yards toBradford. The coaching stafflives on the “just trying toimprove every week” saying,and they can actually lookthemselves in the mirror thistime and say that they are, infact, improving. Now theteam will get a few days off(and try to find a plane backto New England) before theystart to prepare for the Billsat home on Nov. 11.

Rondo the MVP?Everything pointing to 2012-13 being the Celtics point guard’s breakout
individual season Voters may be getting tired of voting for LeBronThree reasons why Rajon Rondocould win the 2012-13 NBA MVPaward:
Voters are sick of LeBronVoter fatigue in MVP races arealways a factor in sports, and inthe NBA there is a track recordfor this sort of thing.
Unlike baseball, where anew batch of MVP candidatespop up almost every season,basketball has a set list of fiveor six guys year-in and year-outwho are eligible in the minds ofvoters. In today’s era, it’s Le-Bron and a handful of other su-perstars at the start of everyseason when talking MVP op-tions.
For the first time, Rondo isone of those other options.
Michael Jordan was famous-ly denied MVP three-peats in1993 (to Charles Barkley) and
1997 (to Karl Malone) becausemost voters were tired of bow-ing at the altar of No. 23. Jameshas won three MVP awards infour seasons (Derrick Rose wonin 2011), and any sort of slip-page in team or individualnumbers this year will yield tovoters looking elsewhere.
Rondo is uniqueLike it or not, in the NBA, flashcounts for something.
Rondo will be able to get outin transition like never beforethis season, with young gunslike Avery Bradley (when he re-turns from injury), CourtneyLee and Jeff Green filling thelanes and heading straight tothe rim. As we saw at times lastyear, Chris Wilcox is anotherplayer who can finish off Rondoalley-oops.
Fellow point guard Steve
Nash won back-to-back MVPs inthe middle part of the lastdecade, first because he wasthat good (11.0 assists pergame, 17.1 points per game inthose years). Second, becausehe was such a damn joy towatch.
Basketball purists will droolover what Rondo will do thisseason if any of these glowingpreseason stories about his im-provement come to fruition.
Regular season wondersThe Celtics are built to win 60games in this regular season.
Whether or not a team thatcan go 12-deep will be able tothrive in the playoffs, whenbenches shorten dramatically,remains to be seen.
But typically, the best playeron the team that wins the mostregular-season games has a
Rajon Rondo’s performance in the 2012 playoffs solidified him as the Celtics’ leader.
great shot at the award.• Rose won in 2011 with 62
wins.• LeBron guided Cleveland
to 61 wins in 2010.• Kobe Bryant won in 2008
as he guided the Lakers to thebest record in the West with 57wins.
Getting to or around 60wins seems to be the key, andunlike previous years, theCeltics are poised for 82 gamesof success as opposed to justwinning when it truly counts inthe spring.
