Youngvoterssurgedin ’04 Turnout rate increasedmost within - bracketWASHINGTON Turns out, the kids rocked after all.

Nearly half of all eligible young voters cast ballotsin the November 2004 election, raising their turnoutrate by more than twice that of any other age group.

“This is big,” said David King, associate director ofthe Institute of Politics at Harvard University whohighlighted the Census Bureau findings in an IOPreport yesterday. “When you vote young, you’remuch more likely to vote the rest of your life, so the2004 campaign turned a generation on to politics.”

About 47 percent of Americans 18-24 voted in 2004,up from 36 percent in 2000, according to the CensusBureau. No other age group increased its turnout bymore than 5 percentage points.

Even with the increase, the youngest voters stillhad the lowest turnout rate. Nearly three of everyfour people aged 55-74 voted in 2004.

Those numbers explain why elderly voters are high-ly prized by candidates. But they also suggest there isenormous potential in the young vote, and that effortsby President Bush and Democratic rival John Kerry torecruit college-age students were worth the trouble.

The 18-24 set made up 9 percent of the electoratelast year, up very slightly from 8 percent the previ-ous election. It’s unclear what that might mean forthe young vote in the future.

“Will it work for kids who were 14 years old in2004? No idea. That work still remains to be done,”King said. “But the 2004 campaign itself was animmense mobilizing event, bringing out the largestpercent of young voters in 32 years.” RON FOURNIER

AG SEEKS CLARIFICATION OF CHRISTMAS NO-WORK LAWAttorney General Tom Reilly has asked the Legislature to clar-ify that retail employees do not have to work this Christmas,which falls on a Sunday. Under existing law, when the holi-day falls on a Sunday, the legal holiday is marked the follow-ing day, Monday, Dec. 26. Reilly, however, is concerned thestate’s blue laws could be read in a manner that retail work-ers feel compelled to work on that Sunday. AP

BOSTON State Rep. PhilipTravis, a moderate Democratwho became the politicalface to ban gay marriage,announced yesterday hewould not seek re-electionnext year.

Travis, 65, a Rehoboth res-ident who spent 24 years inthe Legislature, said hedecided to leave the politicallife in order to spend moretime with his wife andgrandchildren. But he alsoadmitted yesterday he wasdisappointed about thedirection in which Massa-chusetts is heading.

“I think we’ve becomemore liberalized, not moremoderate,” Travis toldMetro. “It’s become moreliberal than when I arrivedhere. It’s different than myphilosophy.”

In the past year, Travis has

rallied for a ban on gay mar-riage, even as the oppositionweaned. He also came outagainst several other hotbutton issues that his col-leagues ultimately passed inthe Legislature.

Just this week, he votedagainst legislation that wouldallow the distribution ofsyringes to intravenous drugusers and others without aprescription. The bill passedthe House and is headed tothe Senate, a move he believeswill be detrimental to youngpeople across the state.

“It’s like with beer: peoplecan buy it and give it tokids,” Travis said.

Earlier this year, he votedagainst a bill that wouldrequire all Massachusettshospitals to offer emergencycontraception to rape vic-tims and allow trained phar-macists to dispense the pillwithout a prescription. Rom-ney vetoed the bill, but itwas ultimately overriddenby the Legislature.

Despite these develop-ment, Travis insists thesedefeats are not the reasonwhy he is leaving politics.

“I’m leaving on top of mygame,” said Travis. “I wantto smell the roses.”

BOSTON Partners Health-Care and its affiliate, Massa-chusetts General Hospital,yesterday said they intend tosue state officials for failingto include a connectionbetween the MBTA’s Blue andRed Lines as part of the state’seffort to offset increased airpollution from the Big Dig.

Partners, among the Com-monwealth’s largest employ-ers, said in a press releasethat not including the con-nector in the state’s list oftransit commitments is a vio-lation of the federal Clean AirAct and past state promises.

Partners plans to file thelawsuit within 60 days in USDistrict Court, alleging thatthe state has failed to take

“the most preliminarysteps” to build the $264 mil-lion connector near the RedLine’s Charles/MGH station.

Partners says that the con-nector is needed to serve morethan 19,000 MGH employees,plus patients, visitors, andothers who have very limitedparking near the hospital.

The .4-mile connectorwould extend the Blue Linefrom Bowdoin Station to theRed Line at Charles/MGHStation.

The Conservation LawFoundation received transitcommitments in 1990 fromthe state when it threatenedto file a lawsuit to stop the$14.6 billion Big Dig.

But tocity officials, the double-hung vinyl window on theside of Gary Multer’s historicMass.

Yesterday, in the latesttwist in an eight-year legalbrawl between Multer andthe South End LandmarkDistrict Commission, thecity asked a judge to let it filea lawsuit against Multerseeking fines of $146,000 to$1.46 million for allegedly

CIVIL SUIT

BOSTON In the hurly-burlyworld of campaign politics,big-name supporters aresupposed to bring in the bigbucks. But in the Web worldof gubernatorial candidateDeval Patrick, the recogniz-able names aren’t alwaysthe ringers.

Patrick, a former top fed-eral civil rights prosecutorand Coca-Cola executive,began Web-based fund-rais-ing this month a la HowardDean, but took it a step fur-ther by hosting Web sites ofindividual supporters, who

can create per-sonalizedfund-raisingpages forPatrick.

There aresome high-

profile namesamong those

who have posted their praisefor Patrick online. KittyDukakis, the wife of formerGov. Michael Dukakis, is oneof them. Former U.S. LaborSecretary and one-timegubernatorial candidateRobert Reich is another.

But the dough hasn’t exact-ly been rolling in throughtheir Web pages. The DukakisWeb site has brought in onedonation for $150. Reich, whoextolls visitors to his site to“do your part and send him acontribution of $50, $100 orwhatever is right for you,” haslogged no donations at all onthe site.

Reich, reached by phone,joked that he hadn’t broughtin the bucks because “I’m justvery unpopular.”

But he said that he hadn’tbeen drawing much atten-

tion to his site and has beenconcentrating instead onother fund-raising for thecampaign, such as an eventin a few of weeks.

Dukakis said she hopedthat lending her name tothe Web site would bring infunds but admitted that herpeers aren’t very Web savvy.

“People in my generationaren’t used to using the Inter-net for sending in contribu-tions or expressing theirwishes for these things,” shesaid. “So it might take sometime to take hold.” AP

BOSTON Nat Turner has apretty good idea of how frus-trating it is to have a han-kering for takeout whilestudying when the deliveryguy takes two hours.

The college sophomore atthe Wharton School started acampus delivery Web site lastyear with a couple of buddiesdetermined to streamline thecollege food order process.Now, six months later, hisbrainchild EatNow.com haslaunched in five markets,most recently in Boston.

“All our friends order foodevery day. You can’t get a bet-ter market than that,” saidTurner, a 19-year-old Texan.

About 100 restaurants sur-rounding more than 30 cam-puses across metropolitanBoston have signed on withthe Web site. The restaurantowners give Turner’s compa-ny 5 percent of each order,and already hundreds of stu-dents are ordering every daythrough the site, Turner said.

“College students don’twant to leave their dormunless they have to,” Turn-er said.

Anyone can use the site,but it is specifically tailoredfor college students. Userslog on, type their address orchoose their campus from adrop-down menu, and get a

list of restaurants that willdeliver. Users can then surfdozens of menus and placetheir order online, down towhether or not they wantmayo on their turkey sand-wich or onions on theirpizza. The site indicates howlong the person shouldexpect to wait and alsoallows people to place grouporders, divvying up how

much each person owes. In Boston, EatNow.com

has some competition,including campusfood.com,which has been in the mar-ket for several years.

Joe Rastellini, owner of T.Anthony’s, the popularBoston University eatery onCommonwealth Avenue,said on a typical night hegets 20 to 30 orders fromWeb sites like EatNow.com.

“We get very few problemsand call backs from cus-tomers with problems,” saidRastellini. “It’s a good conceptbecause the kids like to orderonline.” CHRISTINA WALLACE

BOSTON There’s no freelunch with diet pills, newresearch concludes: Theywork much better accompa-nied by the hard work ofdieting and exercise.

The study backed by theNational Institutes ofHealth is the biggest andbest yet to demonstrate whyobese people should adopthealthy habits, even if theytake weight-loss drugs,researchers said.

“If you pit this medicationagainst your favorite all-you-can-eat buffet, the ... buffet isgoing to win nine out of 10times. So it’s important youtry to modify eating habits,”advised University of Penn-sylvania psychologist ThomasWadden, who led the studypublished today in the NewEngland Journal of Medicine.

Medical guidelines haverecommended that obesepatients also change eatingand exercise habits sincedoctors first began prescrib-ing today’s long-term weight-loss medicines in the late1990s. Still, many patientsfail or ignore the advice.

Yet in the one-year study,the most successful patientstook the weight-loss drugMeridia along with 30 ses-sions of group counselingthat promoted a 1,500-calo-

rie daily diet and half-hourwalks on most days.

Obese people who tookpills alone typically lost 11pounds in the study. Whenthey added the full programpromoting lifestyle changes,they lost 27 pounds — morethan twice as much.

A third group took the drugwith brief doctor’s counsel-ing, and a fourth underwentonly group counseling. With-in five months, those twogroups lost a bit more weightthan the group that only tookthe drug, but all three of thesegroups were roughly equalafter a year. JEFF DONN

AFTER THE STORM

BOSTON A day after bashingFrance, Gov. Mitt Romneytrained his critic’s eye onnew targets yesterday, ques-tioning whether Californiawill continue as an econom-ic power and dismissing Rus-sia and some of the countriesin the new Central AmericanFree Trade Agreement.

The former corporate

executive, speaking to aglobal competitiveness con-ference, lamented the highcost of business in Massa-chusetts before divertinginto an unprompted assess-ment of California, run byfellow Republican Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“I don’t know how Cali-fornia makes it, by the way,”

Romney told attendees atthe Forrester Research Exec-utive Strategy Forum.“They’ve got great weatherand terrific people, and sothat’s going to be a terrificdraw, and they have othercompanies there — clusters— that bring people.

“But long term, their hightax rate, their totally

unworkable transportationreality, their unreliable ener-gy supplies, make it a placethat’s going to have to, atsome point, undergo somekind of transformation, orthey’re going to begin los-ing. They can lose to Nevada,lose to other states and, ulti-mately, of course, lose toAsia,” he added. AP

WASHINGTON Bob Wood-ward’s version of when andwhere he learned the iden-tity of a CIA operative con-tradicts a special prosecu-tor’s contention that VicePresident Dick Cheney’stop aide was the first tomake the disclosure toreporters.

Attorneys for the aide, I.Lewis “Scooter” Libby,described yesterday’s state-ment by the WashingtonPost’s assistant managingeditor as helpful for theirdefense, although Libby ischarged with lying to agrand jury and the FBI, notwith disclosing the CIA offi-cial’s name.

“Hopefully, as informa-tion is obtained fromreporters like Bob Wood-ward, the real facts willcome out,” lawyer Ted Wellssaid yesterday.

Woodward, a PulitzerPrize winning reporter, saidhe had not told his bossesuntil last month that he hadlearned about ValeriePlame’s identity and her

work at the CIA more thantwo years ago from a high-level Bush administrationofficial.

When Woodward learnedPlame’s name, he told theAssociated Press yesterday,he was in the middle of fin-ishing a book about theadministration’s decision togo to war in Iraq, and didn’t

want to be subpoenaed totestify.

“The grand jury was goingand reporters were beingjailed, and I hunkered downmore than I usually do,”Woodward said, explainingwhy he waited so long to tellPost Executive EditorLeonard Downie Jr. what heknew about the Plame mat-ter.

Woodward made hisname with his coverage ofthe Watergate scandal dur-ing the Nixon administra-tion. He kept secret fordecades the identity of“Deep Throat,” a key sourcein that reporting.

Woodward said he hadapologized for not givingDownie much earlier noticeof his reporting on Plame.

To critics who are takingshots at him, Woodwardsaid, “Journalism is a con-tact sport. I was 29 whenpeople who really knew howto shoot were around,”referring to Watergate.

SOUTH KOREA Counselingresolve and patience, Presi-dent Bush is looking for ashow of unity among Asianleaders to press North Koreato abandon its nuclearweapons program.

Among those gatheringhere for a 21-nation summitare the leaders of the fivecountries — the UnitedStates, China, South Korea,Russia and Japan — negoti-ating with North Korea forits nuclear disarmament.Bush was meeting today

with South Korean PresidentRoh Moo-hyun after talksyesterday in Japan withPrime Minister JunichiroKoizumi that included a callfor dismantling NorthKorea’s nuclear program.

South Korea has resistedthe tough approach advo-cated by the Bush adminis-tration for ending theimpasse with North Korea,opposing the idea of mili-tary action if diplomacyfails. South Korea also is coolto the idea of taking thestandoff to the U.N. SecurityCouncil for possible sanc-tions.

“The tone is differentsometimes because, of

course, for the people of theRepublic of Korea, the demil-itarized zone is right at theirdoorstep,” said Mike Green,senior director for Asianaffairs on the National Secu-rity Council.

Green said Seoul, theSouth Korean capital, is asclose to the demilitarizedzone separating the twocountries and to North Kore-an artillery as the WhiteHouse is to Dulles Interna-tional Airport, some 30miles outside Washington.

“It’s very much a clear andpresent threat for the peo-ple,” he said.

Bush urges pressure on North KoreaPresident rallying Asianleaders to show unityon Nuclear talks.

• WASHINGTON House andSenate negotiators have strucka tentative deal on the expiringPatriot Act that would curb theFBI’s investigative power andrequire the Justice Departmentto more fully report its secretrequests for information aboutordinary people. Democratsand civil libertarians said thatwhile the tentative deal makessome improvements, it doesn’taddress their chief concern: thecurbing of FBI power to gathercertain information byrequiring the investigators to

prove the subject’s records areconnected to a foreign agent orgovernment. The agreement,which would make mostprovisions of the existing lawpermanent, was reached justbefore dawn yesterday. But bymidmorning GOP leaders hadalready made plans for a Housevote today and a Senate voteby the end of the week. Thatwould put the centerpiece ofPresident Bush’s war on terroron his desk a month beforemore than a dozen provisionswere set to expire. AP

• WASHINGTON Even afterRichard Nixon’s secret war inCambodia became known, thepresident persisted indeception. “Publicly, we sayone thing,” he told aides.“Actually, we do another.”Newly declassified documentsfrom the Nixon years shed lighton the Vietnam War, thestruggle with the Soviet Unionand an administrationdetermined to win re-election,with Nixon aides seeking waysto use Jimmy Hoffa to tap intothe labor movement.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Tornadoes rip through Midwest, kill twoKENTUCKY Nearly threedozen tornadoes rippedthrough the Midwest, partof a huge line of thunder-storms that destroyedhomes and killed at leasttwo people.

“We heard a weird soundcoming through, kind of awhistle,” said Penny Leonard,37, who sought shelter in thebasement of a hospital Tues-day in the western Kentuckytown of Madisonville. “Ithank God I’m safe.”

Meteorologists said a coldfront moving rapidly eastcollided with warm, unsta-ble air from the south onTuesday to produce thethunderstorms thatstretched from the Gulf ofMexico to the Great Lakes,spawning funnel clouds andtornadoes in parts of Mis-souri, Kentucky, Indiana, Illi-

nois and Tennessee.The National Weather Ser-

vice’s Storm Prediction Cen-ter had preliminary reportsof at least 35 tornadoes inthe five states, spokeswomanPeggy Stogsdill said Wednes-day at the center in Norman,Okla.

It was the third outbreakof twisters this month. Onetornado on Nov. 6 killed 23people in southern Indiana,and nine tornadoes struckIowa on Saturday, killingone woman.

One person was killed atBenton, Ky., when the stormsdestroyed a mobile home,said Lori King, public infor-

mation officer for MarshallCounty Emergency Manage-ment Services.

“There is not a lot left,”King said yesterday. “Themobile home flipped off thefoundation at least once butpossibly several times. Itcaught fire shortly after-ward.”

Along with tornadoes,thunderstorms in Indianaproduced wind of more than100 mph and as much as 2inches of rain, causing scat-tered flooding, said meteor-ologist Jason Puma at theweather service in Indi-anapolis.

A teenager was killedwhen her car went out ofcontrol on a flooded roadand overturned east of Indi-anapolis, Hancock CountySheriff’s Dept. Sgt. BridgetD. Foy said. AP

BAGHDAD A top InteriorMinistry official said yester-day the 173 malnourishedprisoners found by U.S.forces included all Iraqisects, playing down allega-tions of a campaign by Shi-ite-led security forces to sup-press Sunni Arabs ahead ofnext month’s election.

The Shiite-led governmentsought to dampen Sunni out-rage over revelations Tuesdayby Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari that the detainees,some showing signs of tor-ture, were found last week-end by U.S. troops at an Inte-rior Ministry lockup in thecapital. Most were believed tobe Sunni Arabs, the leadinggroup in the insurgency.

But the deputy interiorminister, Maj. Gen. HusseinKamal, said the detaineesalso included Shiites, Kurds

and Turkomen. He gave nobreakdown.

Government spokesmanLaith Kubba defended theInterior Ministry, saying allthe detainees were legallyarrested and most were

referred to courts for prose-cution. They were kept at thedetention center in theJadriyah district because of alack of jail space, he said.

“The Interior Ministry isdoing its job at a difficult

time and some mistakeshappen,” he said.

That did little to assuageSunni Arab anger, with Sunnipoliticians saying theJadriyah center was not theonly place where detaineesare tortured. Sunni leaderAdnan al-Dulaimi said he hadcomplained to the govern-ment about abuses at threeInterior Ministry compounds.

He and several otherSunni politicians demandedan international inquiry. AP

InflationpressuremoderatesEnergy prices show decline WASHINGTON Inf lationpressures bombarding con-sumers moderated signifi-cantly last month as energyprices retreated after hittingrecord highs in September.

The Labor Departmentreported that consumerprices edged up just 0.2 per-cent in October, which wasthe best showing in fourmonths. In September, con-sumer prices had soared by1.2 percent, the biggest one-month increase in 25 years.

The slowdown in pricepressures reflected a 0.2 per-cent drop in energy costs, asignificant change from therecord 12 percent increase inenergy prices in September,a surge that had reflectedwidespread shutdowns ofrefineries and oil platformsalong the Gulf Coast in thewake of hurricanes Katrinaand Rita.

Excluding food and ener-gy, core inflation edged up0.2 percent in October. Whilethat was up from the 0.1 per-cent increases of the previousfive months, it was still con-sidered to be a moderate gainindicating that the surge inenergy prices this year hasnot caused more widespreadinflation problems.

In other economic news,the Commerce Departmentreported that inventoriesheld by businesses on shelvesand backlots rose by 0.5 per-cent in September, whichwas the largest increase ineight months. Total businesssales rose by 0.6 percent inSeptember, down slightlyfrom a 0.7 percent Augustadvance.

So far this year, consumerprices have been rising at anannual rate of 4.9 percent, asignificant increase from the

3.3 percent rise in prices forall of 2004.

This acceleration occurredbecause of a big surge inenergy prices this year, whichhave soared by 37.1 percentat an annual rate throughthe first 10 months of thisyear. That compares to a 16.6percent jump in energyprices in 2004.

However, excluding thevolatile energy and food sec-tors, core inflation is risingat an annual rate of 2.1 per-cent through October, downslightly from the 2.2 percentincrease in core inflation in2004.

Core prices are being close-ly watched by financial mar-kets and the Federal Reservefor any hint that the surge inenergy prices are beginningto exert upward pressures onoverall inflation.

Analysts believe that aslong as the increase in coreprices remains close to 2 per-cent, the Fed will be contentto continue with its gradualtightening of credit condi-tions.

Ben Bernanke, who hasbeen tapped by PresidentBush to succeed AlanGreenspan, as FederalReserve chairman in Febru-ary, told his Senate confir-mation hearing on Tuesdaythat he planned to makefighting inflation a top pri-ority in a continuation ofGreenspan’s policies. AP

Judges shouldn’tbe above the lawCHARLES J. THOMAS JR.•via e-mail

In regard to the articleabout South Dakota’sattempt to hold judgesaccountable for theirbehavior (“Group wants tostrip judges of lawsuitimmunity,” Nov. 15): I thinkthis is absolutely the rightthing to do. I was involvedin divorce litigation andthe judge did not allow mylawyer an equal chance torepresent my interests fair-ly. I told the judge Ithought his ruling wasunjust; he simply shruggedhis shoulders and indicat-ed to me that even if hewas wrong, I couldn’t doanything about it.

The possible problemscritics of the measure say itwould raise are based onflawed reasoning. The timeand expense associatedwith the remedies that cur-rently exist for people whodisagree with rulings — notto mentioned a generallack of knowledge of thelegal process — effectivelyexclude a great number ofpeople. I think no oneshould be above the law. Bysaying that the judicial sys-tem would fall apart ifjudges were held account-able for their actions likeeveryone else is simplywrong.

Lefties shouldstop whiningKARLSON GREENE•Wareham

Regarding “Right’s ‘revolu-tion’ never happened” (Nov.

14): It must be tough livingin the fantasy world youoccupy, Mr. Feinberg. TheRepublicans have controlof the presidency, bothhouses of Congress andsoon the Supreme Court, aswell. I sensed a great dealof frustration in your letter.What’s the matter? Didn’tyou get what you wantedfor Fitzmas? Just as areminder, if you want to bein charge, you need to winsome national electionsonce in a while. But whatwith your idea-accountseverely overdrawn, thatmust be very difficult. Justwhining about what theother guy is doing general-ly doesn’t win you any elec-tions.

For 40 years you had iteasy. The South voted as ablock for the Dems andNortheastern liberals got torun things. Well, in caseyou missed it, things havechanged. In addition to allthat, you don’t have amonopoly on the mediaanymore. Maybe you andDan Blather should use thesame crying towel. Maybesome Prozac would help,because we are just gettingstarted.

Don’t promotepublic smoochingM. A. FOLEY•East Milton

By printing Pat Healy’s arti-cle (“Kiss & make out: Thehottest spots for PDA,” Nov.16), you’ve encouraged peo-ple to flaunt how intimatethey are with their partnerin an entirely inappropri-ate forum. Do you honestlybelieve that kissing is allthe readers of Metro are

going to do now thatyou’ve told them where togo? There’s sex in our faceseverywhere we look — dowe really need to walkthrough the Common ordown by the harbor andwitness it there too? Save itfor the bedroom.

Hunting briefwas inaccurateCHARLIE MCELHENEY•Lancaster

On Nov. 15 I was disap-pointed to read at the topof page two — underneaththe header “Boston” — thesmall misleading report“Deer Season off to SlowStart.” It would not havetaken much for Metro toadd a few words to thereport for clarificationsuch as, “in some statesexcluding Massachusetts.”Doing so would have reas-sured most of your readersthat there is not a rifle sea-son in this state. There is ashotgun season that hasnot started yet. And it hasnever been legal to put outbait for deer during thehunting season in thisstate, either.

MY VIEW [email protected]

BY JOSHUA FRANK

Hillary in the Holy Land:Still more of the same

T here really is no way of getting around it: Sen. HillaryClinton may well be future presidential material after all.

Sen. Clinton, along with her husband, paid a visit toIsrael this past weekend. The former President Clinton wasa featured speaker at a mass rally that marked the 10thanniversary of the assassination of Prime Minister YitzhakRabin. It was Hillary’s second visit to Israel since she waselected to office in 2000. In fact, I think the senator has vis-ited Israel more times in the past four years than she’s beento visit her constituents where I reside in upstate New York.The senator did manage to take time out of her voyage tomeet with Ariel Sharon to discuss “security matters.”Hillary also made her way to the great apartheid wall,which separates Palestine from Israel. As of now, the barrieris about two-thirds complete, and when all is said and donethe monstrosity will stretch more than 400 miles.

Palestinians rightly criticize the obtrusive wall on thegrounds that it cuts them off from disputed land in theWest Bank. Thousands have also been cut off from theirjobs, schools and essential farmland.

Hillary and her Israeli allies just don’t get it. When youput powerless Palestinians behind a wall where life in anyreal economic sense is unattainable, you wreak pain andanguish, which in turn leads to more anger and resentmenttoward Israel’s brutal policies. Indeed, the wall will not proveto be a deterrent to resistance, but an inciter of defiance.

“This is not against the Palestinian people,” Clinton said asshe gazed over the massive wall. “This is against the terrorists.The Palestinian people have to help toprevent terrorism. They have tochange the attitudes about terrorism.”

T he senator’s comments seem asif they were taken word for word

from an American Israel PublicAffairs Committee position paper.They may well have been. Just lastAugust Senator Clinton spoke at anAIPAC conference where she praisedthe bonds between Israel and theUnited States: “[O]ur future here inthis country is intertwined with thefuture of Israel and the Middle East.Now there is a lot that we could talkabout, and obviously much has beendiscussed. But in the short periodthat I have been given the honor of addressing you, I wantto start by focusing on our deep and lasting bondsbetween the United States and Israel.”

Clinton went on to wail about the importance of dis-arming Iran and Syria as well as keeping troops in Iraq foras long as it takes — whatever “it” means. It was textbookwarmongering, and — surprise, surprise — Hillary got astanding ovation for her repertoire. It is no matter thatIraq will never ever see true democracy. The United Stateswon’t allow that. The imperial powers would never let anIraqi government form that embodied even the slightesthatred towards Israel or the U.S. Nope, democracy in Iraq,like democracy in Israel, has clear limitations. Like her hus-band and the current president, Hillary will never alterU.S.-Middle East policy that so blatantly favors Israel.

Sadly Sen. Clinton, if elected president in 2008, willpraise and embolden the occupations — both in Iraq andPalestine. She won’t pull out U.S. troops and she won’t cutU.S. funding to Israel.

It was textbookwarmongering,and Hillary gota standingovation for herrepertoire.

“We’re like thesecond-string stars,” saysChris Colbourn. “We’re likethe J.V. team.”

The Buffalo Tom bassistand sometimes singer isdiscussing his new projectwith Hilken Mancini. Bothare best known for theirunderappreciated work inthe ’90s — he was the“waterboy” to Bill Janovitz,she shared guitarist andvocal duties with Chris Top-pin in college faves Fuzzy.

He continues: “It’s a reallycomfortable position, likewe’re the little brothers. ‘Getout there. You can do it.’”

‘Schizoid’The self-titled release“Hilken Mancini and Chris

Colbourn” (Kimchee) findsthe duo navigating indie-roots waters, lending itselfto what Colbourn classifiesas a “schizoid” balance.

“I totally grew up withclassic rock stuff. She’s notfrom that world at all.She’s from a completepunk rock world, neverreally studied Neil Youngrecords,” he says from theNewton offices of his book-ing agency, ConcertedEfforts. “If you named a LedZeppelin song, Hilkenwouldn’t be able to play itand God bless her. That is agood mixture to ourmusic.”

“There was a great salt-and-pepper thing goingon,” he explains of the col-

laborative process withMancini, who has led thePunk Rock Aerobics chargeover the last few years. “Ireally felt like she wasn’tthinking, ‘Oh, this is whatEmmylou Harris would do.’She would just throw stuffout and play a part I neverwould have thought of.”

‘Reverse time’“In My Arms” recalls Pixiesinterplay while a ’70s poplilt sets the backdrop for“Hannah.” The openingtrack “Saint Agnes Eve”and “Couple of Weeks” fea-ture Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascison guitar.

“People were saying,‘Could you reverse timeanymore? ’Cause you’re

asking J to play on it. Ithought you wanted to playnew music,’” he says. “Butit wasn’t any consciousdecision. If the song works,it works.” SELENE ANGIER

Ville Vallowants his heartagram back.The symbol had alwaysbeen associated with hisband HIM (His InfernalMajesty) until pro skaterand consummate “Jackass”Bam Margera co-opted it,tattooing it on his body andflaunting it on his TV show.Vallo’s Finnish band is nowmore famous for its hearta-gram than it’s gloom rockthanks to their biggest fan.Armed with a wry sense ofhumor and the band’s firstproper album releasedstateside, the new “DarkLight,” Vallo recently spoketo Metro and laid out theband’s plan of attack to winback the symbol.

◗ It’s not too much of anexaggeration to say a lot

of your popularity in theStates has to do with BamMargera being such a hugesupporter of the band.What exactly is your rela-tionship with him?We’re a lot like brothers,really. We met in 2000, andwhenever we’re in [Marg-era’s hometown of WestChester] Pennsylvania, wealways stay there at hisplace, and whenever he’s inHelsinki, he’s at our place.He’s just a big fan of theband, and he wanted tohelp us out, so he put the

heartagram symboleverywhere.

◗ What do you think ofhis very enthusiasticadoption of the symbol?I was laughing my ass offwhen we didn’t have anofficial release in the U.S.and the top seller at HotTopic was still the hearta-gram T-shirt. We’re recog-nized because of a T-shirtmore than the music. But Iguess I can’t complain,really. Though we do hopeto regain the heartagramsymbol as our own, basedon the music.

◗ Did you just declarewar? Or are you just goingto let the new album winback the heartagram?We’ll let the album do it. I

hope it falls somewherebetween Black Sabbath andU2.

◗ What drives a band towrite songs with titles like“Rip Out the Wings of aButterfly”? That very melancholy sad-ness in our songs comesfrom traditional Finnishmusic. Writing is self-thera-py for me, my way of cop-ing with the world and get-ting my aggression out. I’d

have to say we createalbums because of the cli-mate in Finland. In thewinter, it’s so cold and sosuper dark, we try to beable to tour to places thatare lighter and warmer.We’re like birds — we fly towarmer places when thefirst snow hits. That’s ourmain driving force.

Of all the stereo-types about the homeless,one is probably true:They’re not big fans ofbaroque music. The songs,from the 17th and 18thcentury, were usually writ-ten for the rich, and to thisday attract an affluentcrowd. Until now.

Vox Consort’s“Filthy/Rich,” a staged con-cert of choral songs, fea-tures professional perform-ers dressed as homelesspeople, crooning tunesoriginally written by thepoor. Everyone — especiallythe homeless — is encour-aged to attend; Vox part-nered with Spare Changefor the show.

We talked to star Miran-da Loud, a mezzo-soprano,about what it was like toget down and dirty.

◗ Did you work withhomeless people toinform your performance?I’ve been observing peoplearound Boston and Cam-bridge who are in thestreets, picking up cluesfrom their body languageand expression on theirfaces. When I see someone

who’s asking for money,some are very brazen, someare very angry, some are,like, “Come on!” Like,they’re showmen. Andsome are just totally —they’ve just given up.They’re bent over andembarrassed or asleep andall of those things haveinformed my acting.

◗ You mention angry. Areyou afraid a homeless per-son might say, “You’remaking a show about mylife? What the hell? Screwart, give me something toeat!” That’s the danger. Justdressing up like a homelessperson and not beinghomeless is potentiallyinsulting. But that’s what

art is. In order to get a larg-er message out, you’re asymbol. Every actor is asymbol and you make yourpiece by being a specificcharacter. We’re trying tobe real and respectful.

◗ What is the larger mes-sage?We’re trying to get acrossthe sense of invisibility orthe sense of getting stuckof left behind.

◗ Have you ever beenaround poverty?No. No. I grew up quiteprivileged, in Lincoln,Nebraska. But I lived inManhattan for five yearsand loved it. Being anartist, I have escaped thesheltered place but it’s niceto go home.

◗ It’s nice to have a home,period.

Yeah, I never take it forgranted. The older I get, themore I realize how lucky Iwas.

The Imbiber recentlyattended a fine dinner

party hosted by JacquesPéters, the esteemed cellarmaster of Veuve ClicquotPonsardin. Among themany useful things I waspleased to discover thatevening, foremost amongthem is that Veuve’s 1999vintage rosé ($76) pairsbeautifully with loupde mer (European seabass) and that ademi-sec ($49)sipped betweenspoonfulsof a prop-erly pre-pared passion fruitsoufflé can indeedmake the hair onthe back of yourneck stand up. Oh,and I also found out

the hard way that it’s advis-able not to make jokesabout Victor Hugo that endwith the punchline “j’ai unegrenouille dans mon bidet!”(I have a frog in my bidet).It’s a good thing MonsieurPéters is a gracious host andan understanding fellow.

Getting back to thebubbly, the two

standouts from theVeuve event were the1996 La Grande Dame($180) and the ’88 RareVintage. The former,an homage to thecompany’s name-sake, Madame Clic-quot, is Veuve’smost exclusiveChampagne and isas outstanding anapertif is you’relikely to find inthat price range.

The ’96 LGD canalso be pur-

chased for a limit-

ed time with a bottle-hug-ging “cozy” designed byEmilio Pucci ($220). You’llwant to keep this fashion-able combo in mind ifyou’re out to impress a spe-cial someone this holidayseason. As for the ’88 RareVintage, it’s currently avail-able only through specialorder at good wine shops,but Péters indicated that itwill soon be available onshelves everywhere at acost of around $65 to $70 —a ridiculously low price fora Champagne of such dis-tinction. Am I gushing?Sure, I am. But that’sbecause Veuve Clicquot hasgot it going on these days.In this scribe’s estimation,it’s the hottest label outthere. Pick some up andtaste for yourself what allthe bubbly buzz is about.

Your bookshelfsays a lot about you to theperson you are dating —maybe even things youdon’t want them to knowabout until after manyyears in couples therapy.Here’s what the oppositesex thinks about your shelf.

V.C. ANDREWS SHE SAID: Interesting. Doeshe like Andrews for the“ironic” factor or is he real-ly thinking about his sisterwhen you make out?VERDICT: It’s a toss up. Hecould be cool or he couldtrap you in a well while say-ing “it puts the lotion inthe basket.” HE SAID: Kinky. Or, she hasthe reading level of a 14-year-old. Either way, we’rethere.VERDICT: Dateable, until sherefers to your future chil-dren as “devil’s spawn.”After all, who’s ready tohave kids?

PHILIP ROTHSHE SAID: He’s a neuroticmamma’s boy with sexualdysfunction. VERDICT: Eh, is it any differ-ent from any other guyyou’ve dated? HE SAID: She’s into neurotic

mamma’s boys with sexualdysfunction. VERDICT: Score.

HOME DEC-ORAT-INGHE SAID:

Everyoneneeds ahobby.VERDICT:

But mod-eration iskey. Anoccasionaltrip to Pot-tery Barn isOK.Decoup-aging withSelf maga-zine, not somuch.SHE SAID:

Gay. VERDICT: Gay.

FRENCH CUISINE COOKBOOKS HE SAID: Finally, achance to use thatFrench accent youhaven’t perfected, inthe kitchen, while she’sworking. Girls love that.VERDICT: See what she cando, and offer to help. SHE SAID: Oh la la! Ladies

love men who can whip upa nice Bouillabaisse. VERDICT: This one is akeeper! Just makesure he never triesany of your meals.

COMPLETECOLLECTIONOF SYLVIAPLATH SHE SAID:

Screamswomen studiesmajor in col-lege. A malePlath lover usu-ally has a soft,sensitive side …but that’s fromthe Prozac. VERDICT: Dat-able … untilhe starts

crying. HE SAID:

Gay. VERDICT:

Gay.

SCREENWRITING HOW-TO MANUALS SHE SAID: Dating a frustrat-ed screenwriter is, well,frustrating. You don’t wantto spend half of your timetogether hearing about“this great idea” do you? VERDICT: Dateable, until hefinds out you were lyingabout being fascinated byFassbinder. HE SAID: Finally, someonewho can debate the artisticmerits of the traditionalthree-act screenplay.VERDICT: Who needs thecompetition? Date, collabo-rate, then steal her ideas.This is the business of show— keyword: business.

SCRAPBOOKSSHE SAID: This is evidencethat he, um, likes collect-ing memories of happier

times. Right? VERDICT: Scream. Turnaround. Run.HE SAID: You don’t wanther to have happiertimes before you. VERDICT: Stick around —just don’t open thebooks.

RUSH LIMBAUGH SHE SAID: Dating a Republi-can isn’t always so bad.Although they usually don’thave souls, at least they have

cash. VERDICT: Stick around to feelit out. On the upside, if he’sa Limbaugh fan, he probablyhas a great stash of pills. HE SAID: You’re better look-ing than any guy she’sdated, and dress better, too.Who cares if she doesn’tget your references?VERDICT: The pills. Prettymuch comes down to thepills.

COMIC BOOKS SHE SAID: Comic book guysare funny, interesting, andadorable. Plus, since theywere constantly beat up inhigh school, you can be thedominate person in therelationship. VERDICT: Great to date, untilhe blows his whole paycheckon “Ultimate Watchmen.” HE SAID: Hey, “Watchmen” wasa perfectly-crafted com-mentary on our directionlesssociety and our obsession with“superheroes,” instilled with asense of ennui that defines thematuration of the genre. VERDICT: “Watchmen” is notjust one of the best comicbooks ever, it’s one of the bestworks of art period. Now,what were we talking about?Women? DOROTHY ROBINSON

DATING

Your book collection could determine the shelf life of your love life

Read our lips

AIN’T LOVE GRAND? Women have been known to be desperateenough to marry a man even though they know there are some prob-lems. But a California woman, Tina Marie Stebbins, has taken it tothe next level — she plans to marry the man who shot her and thenheld her hostage for six days in his garage, according to the Associat-ed Press. Although her soon-to-husband was sentenced to 20 yearsfor the crime, Stebbins says, “I love him today as deeply as I lovedhim before this awful thing happened to us.” Awwww! METRO/DR

Whenever I get downin the dumps andquestion my life —

as people who write forfree newspapers often do —I head to the self-help sec-tion of my local bookstore.For single people it’s anespecially important place:there you’ll not only findbooks to help solve yourproblems, you might findother miserable people toask out on a date.

But what about thebooks? Truth is, mostbooks on dating and

relationships are awful. Soif you want to save timeand money, I urge you totake my advice and …

Avoid any book with the

words “Chicken Soup” inthe title. It seems like every daythere’s a new title in the“Chicken Soup for theSoul” series. There’s“Chicken Soup for mom,”“Chicken Soup for dad”and “Chicken Soup for catlovers.” The problem isthat the series has neglect-ed people who really needhelp. Someday I’d like tosee “Chicken Soup for theTimid Guy in Prison” or“Chicken Soup for theWayward Teen at the Nev-erLand Ranch.” Also …

Never buy a book that hasan exclamation point inthe title! Have you noticed thatsome writers think if theyput an exclamation pointin their title that we’ll buytheir crappy book?! As in,“Stop Getting Dumped!” or“1-2-3 Be a Porn Star!” It’scrazy! But thank goodness

non-self-help writers don’tdo this! Otherwise we’dhave … “The Catcher in theRye!” Or “Angela’s Ashes!”Or that most timeless ofall books, “The Bible!”

And don’t even look at“Mars and Venus in theBedroom.” There is only one man onearth who can make a 206-page book about sex com-pletely boring, and he is thebalding half-man known asJohn Gray, Ph.D. Here’s asample: “In order for sex tobe great there must be lov-ing and supportive commu-nication in the relation-ship.” I’m sorry, Dr. Gray.For sex to be great thereneeds to be cheap alcohol,dim lighting and enoughguilt the next morning tosend you running — rightto the self-help section.

(Saskatchewan, Canada) Anadvanced heating pad developed inCanada is bringing users a widerange of pain relief. Finally youcan get pain relief without danger-ous drugs.

Some users report relief fromarthritis pain and other pain in asfast as 30 minutes.

This remarkable heating padwas developed by ThermotexTherapy Systems Ltd. located inCalgary, Canada. It was thenmade available to the public in theremote Canadian province ofSaskatchewan.

Virtually no advertising wasneeded to sell the Thermotex heat-ing pad in Saskatchewan. As soonas a few people tried it and gotsuch dramatic results, they spreadthe word like wildfire. In a shortperiod of time over 30,000 peoplein the sparsely populatedSaskatchewan Province wereusing the Thermotex heating pad.

The Thermotex heating pad issafe to use and its use has noknown side effects.

The Thermotex heating pad isnow being offered to the publicin all of Canada and in the Unit-ed States. Thousands are beingsold with rave reviews from con-sumers. Testimonials from a fewof these consumers are also pub-lished on this page.

Media Services interviewedthe president of Thermotex Thera-py Systems Ltd, Francis Docherty.This interview follows:

Q. What types of pain doesthe Thermotex heating padrelieve?

A. There are four sources ofpain. One is inflammation char-acterized by redness, heat andswelling. Two is muscle stiff-ness, soreness or spasms. Threeinvolves the toxic conditionscaused by various toxins such aslactic acid. And, four is stress orhypertension caused by unpleas-ant physical or psychologicalconditions. Unlike drugs, whichonly target one source of pain,the Thermotex heating padrelieves pain from all 4 sources.

Q. How does the Thermotexheating pad pain relief differfrom pain relief produced bydrugs?

A. Drugs only relieve pain byinterrupting the natural painimpulse. But drugs may produceharmful side effects like nausea,bleeding or worse. The Thermotexheating pad goes directly to thesource of the pain for relief.

Q. Is the Thermotex heatingpad safe to use?

A. The Thermotex heatingpad is a registered medical deviceand it is totally safe to use.

Q. How do you compare theThermotex heating pad withother heating pads?

A. You cannot compare theThermotex heating pad with otherheating pads that are available allover the world. That would be likecomparing a Rolls Royce with thecheapest automobile.

Other heating pads only heatthe surface of the skin and a fewlayers below. The Thermotexinfrared heating pad can rapidlyhelp a person who is in painbecause of the way that theinfrared waves penetrate the vari-ous layers of the skin and musclesto a great depth in order to reachthe nerves and tissues where theactual cause of the pain originates.

Customers who used theThermotex heating pad know thedifference between Thermotex

products and "the others." Theytell us that they will never give uptheir Thermotex heating pads fora "million dollars" once they haveused the Thermotex heating padeven one, single time.

Q. Can you elaborate moreon how the Thermotex heatingpad relieves pain?

A. The infrared energy thatemanates from the Thermotexheating pad penetrates the skinand muscles all the way to thebone. It safely and gently heatsthe tissues and increases theblood supply at the affected area.

The natural response of thebody to the increased temperatureis to try to maintain a condition ofhomeostasis. That means that thebody automatically tries to lowerthe temperature in the area. There-fore, it expands blood vessels toincrease blood flow.

When the Thermotex heatingpad delivers heat to the tissues,the blood vessels actuallyincrease in diameter via a changecalled vasodilation. Then oxygenand nutrients in the bloodstreamare able to pass through the wallsof the blood vessels more easilyand initiate the process of healingthe damaged cells and tissues.

In addition, toxic substancescausing inflammation and pain inthe damaged cells can then passback into the bloodstream muchmore easily. The toxins are thenfiltered and eliminated by organssuch as the kidneys, the lungs,and the digestive tract. As thedamaged, inflamed areas receivethe increased supply of blood,the cells are nourished and

cleansed and inflammation isreduced. A person then experi-ences pain relief.

The heat also relaxes musclesand expands other tissue to relievetension and pressure on nerves.

Q. Will a Thermotex infraredheating pad relieve carpal tun-nel pain?

A. Carpal tunnel syndrome isthe result of inflammation of thecarpal tunnel in the wrists. AThermotex infrared heating padhelps to reduce the inflammationby increasing the blood flow tothe area.

Q. How can a Thermotexheating pad relieve pain relat-ed to arthritis?

A. Most types of arthritiscause inflammation and stiffness,and a Thermotex heating pad is anideal form of pain relief.

The infrared heat thatemanates from a Thermotexinfrared heating pad penetratesthe body all the way into thejoints, thus increasing the bloodflow to the target area. It alsoexpands tissue to relieve pres-sure. The increased blood flowalso helps to flush away lacticacid buildup and reduce inflam-mation that is a result of thearthritic inflammation.

Q. Does a Thermotex infraredheating pad cure arthritis?

A. There is no cure for arthri-tis, but a Thermotex infrared heat-ing pad can relieve the pain andstiffness and can help some peo-ple to resume normal activities.

Q. What are some examplesof various ailments whose paincould be relieved through the

use of a Thermotex heating pad?A. There are many conditions

and ailments for which a Thermo-tex heating pad can help to relievethe pain including: Arthritis, backstrain, Bursitis, Carpal TunnelSyndrome, constipation, Crohn'sDisease, Dupuytren's Contracture,earaches, Fibromyalgia, golfer'sor tennis elbow, hemorrhoids, hippain, intestinal cramps, lactic acidbuild-up, menstrual cramps,migraines, muscle spasms,Osteoarthritis, Plantar Fasciitis,repetitive strain injury, Rheuma-toid Arthritis, Rotator Cuffinjuries, Sciatica, shoulder prob-lems, sinus problems, spasticbowel, sports injuries, sprains andstrains, tendinitis, tension andstress, TMJ, and whiplash.

Q. Can you use a Thermotexheating pad on broken bones?

A. Several of our customershave informed us that they, andalso their doctors, have felt thattheir Thermotex heating pads havehelped them to speed up the heal-ing process that is related to bro-ken bones. In that regard, theywere able to use their Thermotexheating pads in order to create heatthat permeated through their casts.

Q. Can a Thermotex heat-ing pad be used to help a child?

A. A Thermotex heating pad cansafely be used on children, but wesuggest that you use the lowest setting,while regularly checking the areabeing treated and making sure that thechild is feeling no discomfort.

Q. Can a Thermotex heat-ing pad be used to help a pet?

A. Yes, a pet can be helpedwith the use of a Thermotexheating pad. When a Thermotexheating pad is used on a pet, werecommend that you wrap theheating pad with a cotton towel,and make sure that the cord isprotected so that it cannot bechewed by the pet.

Using the ThermoTex heating pad is sowonderful. It is so soothing and relaxing.Now I will never give up my Thermotex heat-ing pad. This pad will pay for itself manytimes because now I do not need thoseexpensive pain drugs. Flory Lepora

doing a lot of doctoring all theseyears.

A specialist told me that I’ve gotto learn to live with it as at my ageI’ve got degeneration of the spine.

I then got a Thermotex heatingpad and I used it faithfully for oneweek and I just can’t believe that Ican lie awake at night without acontinuous nagging back pain.

SCOREBOARD

THE BRUINS’ only division winthis season was a 2-1 victoryover the Maple Leafs on Oct.27. The Leafs return to theGarden tonight, and eventhough Boston would dearlylove another division win,they’ve reached the pointwhere they’ll settle for anytwo points they can get.

“We obviously want to wingames in our division — butwe’ll just take some winsagainst anyone right now,”said defenseman Nick Boyn-

ton.After

watching histeam’s listlessthird periodeffort in a 5-2loss to theIslanders Sat-urday, HeadCoach MikeSullivan ap-parentlyreached hisboiling point.This week,

he’s put his team throughthree days of extensive drillsand sprints.

When asked why this gamebothered him more than thetwo losses heading into it —or any of the six third-periodleads his team had alreadyblown — Sullivan pointed tothe way his team lost.

“I thought in other gameswe tried hard. And for what-ever reason we didn’t comeout on top,” Sullivan said.“But in this last game we did-n’t play as hard as we can andwe didn’t control the factorswe can to win.”

Boynton echoed Sullivan’sthoughts — but in a slightlymore blunt fashion.

“We were bogus,” he said.“That’s about it. For whateverreason, we stopped playing.We just can’t do that any-more.” JAMES MURPHY

Mike McMahon, who hadbeen the third-string quar-terback entering last week-end, will get the start overbackup Koy Detmer.

McNabb’s status beyondthis week is uncertain. He’splayed through severalinjuries this season, includ-ing a sports hernia thatwill require surgery.

He originally planned tohave the surgery after theseason, but it’s possiblehe’ll have it sooner.

“It’s just the time of it.When? It’ll be the first sur-gery I have, so I’m not excit-ed about going under theknife,” McNabb said yester-day. AP

NFL owners giveSuper Bowl to KCFOOTBALL NFL ownersvoted to tentatively awardKansas City a Super Bowlyesterday, mainly as a trib-ute to owner Lamar Hunt,who gave the game itsname.

However, Kansas Citymust improve ArrowheadStadium, including arolling roof to keep out theFebruary cold. The teamestimates the cost of theroof alone at $100 millionto $200 million and that’snot counting $300 millionor so the Chiefs say theyneed in stadium upgrades.

The approval is for a10-year window, starting in2011, but Hunt said themost likely prospectswould be for the 49th or51st Super Bowl, after the2014 or 2016 seasons. AP

HEATH EVANS, Ellis Hobbs,Russ Hochstein, ArtrellHawkins and Hank Poteat.Not exactly household names.

But when it comes to deter-mining how far New Englandwill go this season, that afore-mentioned group of nobod-ies will have a tremendousimpact. The quintet has beenpushed into the spotlightbecause of injuries to starters,and will all see plenty of min-utes this weekend when thePatriots host the Saints.

Evans, Hobbs and Poteatwere all integral in New Eng-land’s win over Miami, withEvans rushing for a career-high 84 yards, Hobbs addingone interception, one fum-ble recovery and a team-highseven tackles, and Poteatcontributing a pair of keytackles.

This weekend, Hochsteinand Hawkins get their turn atcenter stage.

Center of attentionFor Hochstein, it’s less of atransition than most of therest of the backups. He’s beena starter for the Patriots for agood chunk of the last twoseasons, and has won a pairof Super Bowl rings. But afterstarting center Dan Koppenwent down late in the Dol-phins’ game, Hochstein madethe move to center.

“I knew when he wentdown it was my turn to do thebest I can to fill in for him andhelp out any way I could,”Hochstein said. “Fortunatelyfor us, we got the win.”

“He’s a very versatile guy,”

New England Head Coach BillBelichick said of Hochstein.“He does a lot of things for us,even played a little bit of tack-

le last year. Hehas playedcenter, guard,tackle. He’splayed tightend in shortyardage,played full-back in shortyardage. He’s

a smart guy. He’s very adapt-able and can do a lot of dif-ferent things for us.”

Hawk sightingHawkins arrived in Foxbor-ough for his first day of

work yesterday. The 28-year-old is in his eighth seasonand has played in 103 gameswith 76 starts. He has careernumbers of 404 tackles,three sacks, and 10 inter-ceptions, one of which hereturned for a touchdown.

Originally drafted by theBengals in 1998, he spenthis first six years therebefore being signed by thePanthers as a free agentbefore the 2004 season. Hewas signed by the Redskinsbefore the 2005 season, butwas released prior to thestart of regular season play.

“He’s played both insideand outside as a corner,”Belichick said of Hawkins.

“He’s played in the kick-ing game,” added the headcoach. “He’s pretty a prettygood athletic guy that hassome experience, not in oursystem, but we’re trying tobreak him in as quick as wecan and see what he’s readyto do when we get to theend of the week.”

“It feels pretty good to beback playing and every-thing, and to be with such adecorated franchise. It’sreally nice to be here,”Hawkins said yesterday.“I’m just trying to get accli-mated to different things,terminology-wise.”

JOSE JUAN BAREA is back.Last year, the Northeastern

senior point guard, a two-timefirst team All-ConferenceAmerica East selection,became the first hoopster inthe nation since 1998 to rankamong the Top 10 in both scor-

ing andassists. Cur-rently rankedfourth in NU’srecord booksfor scoring(1,680) andthird in assists(477), Bareahas also theschool record

for points in a game (41).Barea will lead the

Huskies through their inau-gural year in the ColonialAthletic Association (CAA),and was a preseason All-Con-ference pick.

“Jose is the motor thatmakes this program run,”said Northeastern HeadCoach Ron Everhart.

The Huskies led AmericaEast last year in points pergame (73.5), a result of Ever-hart’s focus on a quick,attacking style of play.

“We want to create chaos,”Everhart said recently. “We’renot just going to run andpitch up shots. We’re going tobe intelligent while being asaggressive as possible.”

Picked to finish sixth inthe CAA, the Huskies willstart Barea alongside sopho-more sensation ShawnJames, last season’s AmericaEast Rookie of the Year andDefensive Player of the Year.

In their final season ofAmerica East play, theHuskies finished 21-10 over-all and 15-3 in conferenceplay, losing in their first-evertrip to the NIT in the open-ing round against Memphis.

Everhart, last year’s Amer-ica East Coach of the Year,has added Richard Pitino tothe coaching staff. Pitino,son of ex-Celtics boss andcurrent Louisville HeadCoach Rick Pitino, comes toNU after serving as anadministrative assistantwith the College ofCharleston.

Northeastern kicks off itsschedule against Browntomorrow night.
