‘Building somethingbetter’ ... by yourself

Allston’s second annual DIY festival is about self-sufficiency Don’tlook for price tags at Saturday’s event It’s free — that’s the whole pointIf you want somethingdone right, it’s often bestto do it yourself.

And if you want to sharewhat you’ve done, bring itto Saturday’s second annu-al Allston DIY festival.

Celebrating the freedomof individual expressionand community building,the DIY meet-up featureseducational workshops, aswap meet and music forthe masses.

It’s free. That’s thepoint, event organizerChris Longenecker said.

“A bunch of folks are in-volved with various cre-ative and artistic pursuits

— whether musical, politi-cal or artistic — outside ofconsumerism and spend-ing money,” Longeneckersaid.

Longenecker said thefestival exemplifies theidea of doing things for thejoy of it, rather than just tomake a quick buck.

The all-ages, sober festi-val points a finger at “op-pressive consumerism,”Longenecker said. So youwon’t see a dollar signhanging up anywhere.

Even the music is free:Bands playing the festivalwill use amps powered bybicycles.

“The thing that unifieseveryone is that the inter-ests are ... not to claimfame,” Longenecker said.“These folks followthrough with somethingthey genuinely love.”

Rachel Leone, 25, a vol-unteer, said the DIY move-ment allows people to liveoutside the mainstream.

“It’s the countercul-ture,” she said. “It is aboutcommunity support andcommunity building. Wewant to build somethingbetter.”

Jobs sufferfrom end ofshuttle eraAtlantis ended the U.S.space shuttle’s 30-year 135-mission lifespan with apredawn landing in CapeCanaveral, Fla., on Thurs-day, bringing with it twosonic booms and the de-mise of one of the region’sbiggest employers.

About 9,000 people liv-ing near the KennedySpace Center who work forNational Aeronautics andSpace Administration con-tractors will lose their jobs.

“We’re all 54 years old,and we should be able torelax, and instead we’re allstarting over,” said TishLawing, whose husbandworks for a company thathelps remove shuttlewaste and whose father

worked in the space cen-ter’s launch-control center.“This is going to be a ghosttown.”

Employment in the re-gion is at its lowest since2000, even after four con-secutive months ofstatewide job gains.

“It affects everything,”said Pat Bell, 61, owner of alocal in-home elder-carecompany. BLOOMBERG

Heart Surgeon Hails Breakthrough “Antioxidant”Diabetic Drink As ‘A Miracle’!

Naturally improves blood sugar, cholesterol, circulation, energy and more in as little as 2 weeks!

“After 2 weeks my blood sugar went from 180 to 112 and stayed there!”

“I started taking OPC Factor and approximately a week after, I went back andhad my blood checked. My blood sugar had dropped from about a 180 downto a 112. I had been having back problems and it seemed to resolve that. Ilike the taste. The taste is very pleasant. It has helped my overall health. Thething that I've noticed the most is the lack of back pain. I've just felt good thispast year.” rejoices Doyle Allen, ID.

"OPC Factor™ has helped lower myglucose levels. I sleep better and havemore energy and better circulation,”says Charles Leavitt of Louisiana.

“Excess sugar in your blood causesoxidation and inflammation which is acontributing factor to slow sticky blood.Additionally, cellular damage leads toeye, kidney, nerve, heart, and bloodvessel damage. OPC Factor™ greatlyimproves blood circulation which pro-motes faster blood flow; crucial for dia-betics,” states Dr. Vagnini.

No More Horse

Pills to Swallow!

“Pills and tablets have absorption ratesas low as 2 to 20 percent,” says Dr.

Vagnini.

OPC Factor™ is the first 100% or-

ganic formula powered by a revolution-

ary, high-speed Isotonic ‘liquid’ delivery

system. It mimics the body’s pH; having

the same pH levels as blood and tears,

the nutrients readily absorb at amazing

rate of 97%!

Results in Minutes!

Actual blood scans taken twenty min-

utes apart show how OPC Factor™ vir-

tually flushes away free radicals, excess

cholesterol crystals and sugar mole-

cules in the bloodstream.

What part of your diabetes would you

like to see ‘go away?’ Are you plagued

by weight gain and food cravings, high

and low blood sugar levels, mood

swings, low energy and constant fa-

tigue, poor circulation, vision problems,

frequent pain or aggravating bouts of

brain fog or memory lapses?

There is good news and it comes in

the form of a ‘fizzy’, drink called OPC

Factor™, which quickly revitalizes your

entire body and mind!

Better Blood Sugar

The ‘miracle’ equals a powerful blend

of all natural super antioxidants called

oligomeric proanthocyanadins, or

OPCs, including powerhouses like

grape seed, green tea, pine bark, and

red wine extracts, along with lemon

bioflavonoids, resveratrol, and 23 nat-

urally occurring vitamins and enzymes.

Heart surgeon and

Medical Director of the

Heart, Diabetes,

and Weight Loss Cen-

ters of New York, Dr.

Fred Vagnini, MD,

FACS confirms that

“Antioxidant therapy may slow down theprogress of pre-Diabetes.”

“The brain is over 90% fat making it aperfect place for nasty free radicals tohide.

They hitch a ride in your blood streamand are transported into your brainwhere they create havoc. The free rad-icals affect your brain health by oxidizingthe fatty tissue.” remarks Dr. Vagnini.

National Health

Institute Proves It!

“I can feel it when I drink it. It gives alot of energy.” says Ken Murdock. A National Institute of Health funded

“Double Blind” clinical study published

in July, 2008, supports customer claims

about energy. For diabetics, energy

equals better sleep, moods, and overall

balance.

Studies have found that free radicals

produce oxidation that disrupts insulin

sensitivity.

OPC FactorTM works 20-50 times bet-

ter than traditional antioxidants against

oxidation. OPCs enhance insulin’s abil-

ity to lower blood sugar.

David Payne, a diabetic from Texas,

echoes this, "Since taking OPC Factor,my blood sugar is easier to manage. Itboosted my immune system and evenhelped my cholesterol."

Goodbye Brain Fog!

A surprising benefit of the OPC Fac-

torTM formula is the mental clarity and

energy many users experience after just

a few days. Why?

The result of these OPC’s penetrating

the blood brain barrier and quenching

the free radicals is quite astounding.

It’s possible that after just one week of

drinking OPC FactorTM you’ll feel more

awake and mentally energized. You’ll

experience sharper thinking and im-

proved concentration.

“My doctor said, "I don't know whatyou're doing, but keep doing it." says

Teresa Wood, from WA.

Opinion

TAKE TWOASPIRIN, RUNFOR OFFICE

TOMFOREMAN POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT FOR CNN

The Debt Ceiling Death Star is slowlyblocking out the sun, great herds of jobless citizens are migrating like caribouacross the states, no one knows where Casey Anthony is and yet certain factions in D.C. have worked themselves into a frenzy this week over Michele Bachmann’sheadaches.

Seriously. The world-rattling questionof the hour: Can she be an effectivepresident if migraines occasionallylay her low?

This debate pushes aside other con-siderations like, oh, say ... does she haveenough experience in economics, governanceand foreign affairs? But why should we trou-ble ourselves with such niggling details whenwe have something sexy to contemplate likea skull-cracking mal de tete. For heaven’ssake, consider the endlessly entertaining possibilities:

“Madam President! Iran has launched mis-siles. The entire region is in an uproar!”

“Shut up, Smithers. Bring me a bowl of aspirin, some milk and a spoon.”

Or ...“Madam President, the markets are in free

fall. We’re on the verge of a depression!”“For crying out loud, didn’t you see that

the blinds were drawn?”

Michele Bachmann undeniablybrings out strong emotions. Peo-ple who like her, really like her;people who don’t would swim tothe nearest island in the middle

of a hurricane rather than even utter thewords “President Bachmann.” (As an aside,considering how close Hillary Clinton cameto being the first female nominee for the De-mocrats, can you just imagine the headacheshe’d get if Bachmann somehow pulled offthat trick on the Republican side?)

But like her or not, it seems an unwor-thy concern for a great nation — thisidea that we would effectivelydisqualify a candidate over a medicaltendency which has quite clearly not

significantly impeded her progress or capabili-ties so far. She says her headaches “will not af-fect my ability to serve as commander inchief.” Even Mitt Romney, an opponent for thenomination who disagrees with Bachmann onmany issues, says he believes her headachesare “in no way an impediment” to her futureplans. Mind you, he himself would like to bean impediment, but that’s another matter.

Many presidents have overcome a wide va-riety of physical, emotional and psychologicalchallenges to serve well. And come to think ofit, if anyone running for the office does notsuffer severe headaches, I have to wonder ifthey even know what they are in for.

– CNN’s Tom Foreman is a regular on“AC360°”/www.ac360.com and “The Situation Room.”

“People whodon’t like[MicheleBachmann]would swim tothe nearestisland in themiddle of ahurricanerather thaneven utter thewords‘PresidentBachmann.’”FOREMAN

Based on George R.R. Martin’s popular books (photos 6 and 7), HBO’s “Game of Thrones” (1-3) is benefitting from a post-“Harry Potter” (4) fantasy climate, free of the “Dungeons & Dragons” (5) stigma.

On thebooksBoosted by thesuccess of HBO’s“Game of Thrones,”the fifth book inMartin’s “A Song ofIce and Fire” series —“A Dance withDragons,” releasedon July 12 — quicklyrose to the top of thecharts, becoming2011’s fastest-sellingwork of fiction. Thesix-year waitbetween publicationof “Dragons” andMartin’s last “Song”entry, “A Feast forCrows,” upset plentyof fans, some ofwhom createdcomprehensiveonline communitiescriticizing the authorand offering various(conspiracy) theoriesfor the delay.Nonetheless, itappears that manyreaders are stillenamored. The hefty“Dragons” — whichclocks in at 1,000-plus pages — sold298,000 copies in itsfirst day on shelves.

became abuzzwordBest-seller

Within the courseof a single gen-eration, one ofthe most deni-

grated cultural institutionshas risen to the top of thepopularity hierarchy, influ-encing a new era of TV, cin-ema and literature.

We speak, of course, offantasy.

If, in early 1997, youhad predicted the growthof the maligned genre onthe back of a bespectacledBritish wizard, you proba-bly would have beenstuffed into a locker fasterthan you could not sayVoldemort. Yet “Harry Pot-ter” stands as the improba-

ble face of a brand worth anet $4 billion worldwide,establishing his creator,J.K. Rowling, as the first —and only — billionairewriter and firmly legitimiz-ing practices and standardsranging from cosplay(that’d be organized dress-up, for those of you whohave never done lockertime) to a general accept-ance of fantasy fiction.

According to Brad Ricca,a professor at Case West-ern Reserve University andauthor of the forthcomingbook “Super Boys,” this“subtle but important shiftin popular culture” can beexplained as a reaction to

an increasingly chaoticpresent. “College-age peo-ple who grew up readingHarry flock to the movieswith wands and robes inan attempt to recapturethe past,” he says.

That’s good news forGeorge R.R. Martin.The Hollywoodscreenwriter-

turned-fantasist wrote aseries of novels that, setin a medieval era on someimaginary, magic-infusedcontinent, for years lan-guished only in the deep-est recesses of nerddom.All that has changed,however, with HBO’s TV

adaptation of his seminalwork. “Game of Thrones”has inspired a new appre-ciation for his escapistoeuvre at a time when itseems — impending debtcrisis, promise of Euro-pean collapse, depressingsummer TV lineup — thewhole world is coming topieces.

“In watching theseshows,” Ricca says, “wemay just be acknowledg-ing the importance and ro-mance of the imaginativepast as it affects us in timesof uncertain future.”

“College-agepeople flock to themovies with wandsand robes in anattempt torecapture the past.” BRAD RICCA

He’s ‘CaptainAmerica’: Red,right and true

New flick joins the ranks of Marvel’s finest DirectorJohnston knows that when you’re wearing a costume,sometimes playing it straight is the best way to go ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’Director: Joe JohnstonStars: Chris Evans, HugoWeaving, Hayley AtwellRating: PG-13Grade: �����

Captain America is the leastironic of all the Marvel su-perheroes, the last one tobreak the fourth wall or of-fer up a mocking one-liner.In our snark-saturatedtimes, then, it’s a welcomesurprise that the Captain

has received a film as goofily (and gloriously) sin-cere as he is.

First seen with his headgrafted digitally onto thebody of a noodle-armedshrimp, Chris Evans plays1940s Brooklyn scampSteve Rogers with the rightmix of patriotic intensityand white-bread do-good-erism. Rogers just wants toserve his country in thefight against the Nazis, see,so of course he’ll sign up for

an experimental medicalprocedure that turns himinto a hulking supersoldier.

From there it’s a battleagainst the scenery-chew-ing Red Skull (Hugo Weav-ing), a Nazi occultist whospeechifies against the use-lessness of flags and coun-tries like he’s an evil JohnLennon. Director Joe John-ston cuts these second-halfconfrontations against thebaddies within an inch oftheir lives, trusting that the

audience would ratherspend time soaking up thefilm’s Technicolor WWIIiconography than sitthrough another by-the-numbers action scene.

The film’s earnestnessworks, taking what couldhave been a parable aboutthe awesome benefits ofsteroids and imbuing itwith a real sense of weightand patriotism. When itcomes to guys who runaround in a colorful cos-

tumes, sometimes playingit straight is the right way togo after all.

A note on the 3-D: Thethird dimension doesn’tadd much to the film dur-ing the action scenes, but itdoes a fine job on the 1940s-style sweaters of the femalecast, much to the delight ofthe audience at this re-porter’s screening.

Hayley Atwell plays Peggy Carter in “Captain America.”

Don’t call it a rom-com

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis wouldprefer to think of their new film as a comedywith incidental romance Stars say ‘FriendsWith Benefits’ isn’t the same as ‘No Strings’

Justin Timberlake and MilaKunis want people talkingabout their new movie,“Friends with Benefits.”Just don’t call it a romanticcomedy.

“We always thought of itmore as comedy than a ro-mantic comedy,” says Ku-nis. “If anything, it was abuddy comedy with a littleromance in it. Because youcare about the charactersand you watch the charac-

ters fall in love, but it’s notyour stereotypical roman-tic comedy.”

Timberlake is on thesame page about the film,about two love-wearyfriends who embark on asexual relationship with-out all that messy romancestuff. “I don’t know thatwe’ve ever treated it like aromantic comedy or aslacker comedy. To me,funny is funny and not fun-

ny is not funny,” he says.“And so we just wanted tofind the funny in all thesesituations, and that’s howwe treated this.”

“Friends with Benefits”marks a major milestonefor both Timberlake andKunis, as it’s the first timeeither has top-lined a film.The lead has to come withnew pressures, but Timber-lake insists they’re quicklypushed aside. “We dealwith those demons beforewe sign contracts. Afteryou commit to the movie,you have to let all that stuffgo,” he says, though he ad-mits having Kunis alongfor the ride was a huge

help. “That was a little bitof a comfort, knowing thatyou were going to be shar-ing the bill and the comedyand the whole movie witha counterpart,” he adds.“There’s never a momentin this movie where it’sjust one of us out there byourselves.”

METRO WORLD NEWS IN LOS ANGELES

Have we seenthis before?Though the premise of“Friends WithBenefits” sounds simi-lar to the plot of Natal-ie Portman and AshtonKutcher’s “No StringsAttached,” Kunis saysshe doesn’t care.

“There’s only somany original storiesto be told in theworld.”

Timberlake insiststhe two films are differ-ent. “While I thinkthat’s a great movie, Idon’t think our movieis anything like it,” hesays. “But sometimesyou’re subject to thebulls— that[journalists] put usthrough.” Yowch.

OK, we’re just going to say it: This here looks straight up rom-com.

‘Friends with Benefits’Director: Will GluckStarring: Justin Timberlake,Mila Kunis, Patricia ClarksonRated: RGrade: �����

In the inevitable compari-son between “Friendswith Benefits” and Janu-ary's “No Strings At-

tached,” the newer film,starring Justin Timberlakeand Mila Kunis, comes outon top. The comedy issharper and the pacebrisker. And while Tim-berlake is alarmingly lim-ited as an actor, he’s vastlypreferable to AshtonKutcher. Kunis does the

heavy lifting to make upfor her partner’s bland-ness, and she nearly runsaway with the movie. Theonly real fault is an emo-tional storyline about Tim-berlake’s character’sfather and Alzheimer’s,which grinds the movie toa halt. METRO

Rhett McLaughlin and LinkNeal are lifelong bestieswith a peculiar passion.While you may groan andflip the channel when thosepoorly produced local com-mercials appear on the TV(we’re looking at you, ErnieBoch Jr.), these guys consid-er them to be works of art.

“Some of the greatestcommercials are full ofwhat most people wouldcall mistakes, but we con-sider them brushstrokes ofan artist,” Neal explains.“When there’s an editingmistake or when the actingis horrible, those are thethings that we love to seeand the things that we emu-late in our commercials. It’sa point of inspiration.”

The North Carolina na-tives love those spots somuch that they developed apopular Web series called “ILove Local Commercials”which then birthed IFC’snew show, “CommercialKings.” In it, the guys trackdown a small business in

need of public outreachand produce an ad for themthat adheres to a lo-fi, no-frills, no-budget aesthetic— but with loads of humorand eccentricity.

The boys find inspirationfrom the lack of resourcesand manage to pull offsome memorable momentsthat, from the show alone,have already brought manycompanies more business.

“Our budgets are almostalways zero,” saysMcLaughlin. “We use theresources that are aroundus. We’re embracing thoselimitations — and that’swhat brings about this sortof homegrown, endearingfeeling that our commer-cials have.”

Just a pair oflocal yokels

IFC’s ‘Rhett and Link: Commercial Kings’ explores theart of the cheap, local commercials ‘It’s a point ofinspiration,’ says a co-star Making due with nothing

Kid stuff?

What shouldn’t you put ina local commercial? Babies!

“If you have a friend who’sgot a baby and they thinktheir baby is the cutest thingever, it’s annoying,” saysNeal, “but then when theyput it in their own commer-cial, it exponentially ex-plodes the annoyance.”

Comic-Con, the annu-al mecca of pop cul-ture, returns to SanDiego this weekend

— with more than 130,000fans flooding the city to cel-ebrate the comics, movies,TV shows and stars theylove. What’s surprising thisyear, though, is who won’tbe there. Despite releasesslated next year for two ofthe world’s biggest super-heroes, Batman and Super-man, there won’t be panelsfor “The Dark Knight Rises”or “The Man of Steel.”

And as for Marvel Enter-tainment’s hero-packed“The Avengers,” the studioinsists there’s nothingplanned for the star-stud-ded 2012 summer tent-pole.Captain America (ChrisEvans); and the movie’s di-rector, Joss Whedon, will re-portedly be in attendancefor other reasons.

Some studios and direc-tors, including Warner Bros.and Disney, have claimedthey’ll be sitting out theconvention, suggesting themassive festival’s power

might be waning. “It’s get-ting harder and harder tostand out amid the din,” di-rector Andrew Stanton(next year’s “John Carter ofMars”) told the L.A. Times’Hero Complex blog recent-ly. But Morgan Spurlock,who is completing a docu-mentary about the conven-tion, isn’t buying it. “Theysay that every year,” Spur-lock tells Metro. “It’s one ofthose things like, ‘No, we’renot going to go this year,we’re not going to go.’ Andthen suddenly one studio

jumps in and says yes, andthe next thing you knowtwo more climb on board.”

He’s not wrong, either:Disney has reversed course,declaring that they’re bring-ing the Dreamworks hor-ror-fest “Fright Night” andstars Colin Farrell and An-

ton Yelchin to Comic-Confor a Friday panel, andWarner Bros. will be screen-ing footage of its upcoming“Final Destination 5.”

Comic-Con 2011:Who’s in, who’sout, who’s bluffing

While some studios claim not to be heading to San Diego this weekend, other big names are gettingready to pitch the masses of fanboys and fangirls

Jennifer Lopez knows a greatway to get over divorce: Flyto the Ukraine to performfor some millionaire’s lav-ish wedding ceremony (I’dprobably just shove my facewith ice cream and notshower for a few monthsbut to each her own, Iguess). “Are you happy?”Lopez asked the 500 guestsat the lavish bash, for whichshe was paid $1 million. “Iam happy, because I amhere with you today!”Friends of the singer say sheisn’t just putting on a braveface: “She is jumping backinto work and being a momwith all her energy and sheis really excited. She feelslike she has grown leapsand bounds,” a source says.

Meanwhile, Us Weeklyreports that the couple al-most split up in 2009 due toMarc Anthony hooking up

with a flight attendant hemet aboard a privateplane. “Jennifer was goingto leave him then, butMarc begged her to stay.They went to marriagecounseling and she decid-ed to give it another shot.He was someone she trulyloved,” says a source.

Ukrainian weddings!Flings with stewardesseson private planes! Whatthrilling, bizarre livesthese two lead. And heremy idea of exciting is anight at Dave & Buster’s.

A small weddingfor McCartneyWhile Paul McCartney is ex-cited to tie the knot withfiancee Nancy Shevell, don’texpect a lavish event fromthe former Beatle, accord-ing to the Daily Telegraph.“Paul loves Nancy verymuch, but does not want abig wedding,” a sourcesays. The couple willreportedly wed in a small,private ceremony in Lon-don before flying to Shev-ell’s native New York,

where they will hold asmall party for her familyand friends. It’s a far cryfrom McCartney’s weddingto Heather Mills on thegrounds of a castle, whichfeatured a five-minute fire-works display.

Eric Dane headsto rehab“Grey’s Anatomy” star Eric Dane, who is expect-ing his second child withwife Rebecca Gayheart,quietly checked himself

into rehab last month asa “preventive measure”to deal with a dependen-cy on painkillers, accord-ing to Star magazine.“Eric felt things spiralingout of control and decid-ed he needed to get somehelp,” a source says. Theactor’s rep confirms therehab stint, saying in astatement that Dane “vol-untarily checked himselfinto a treatment facilityto help him get off ofpain medication that hewas prescribed for asports injury that he suf-fered over the recent hia-tus. He reports back towork next week. Businessas usual.”

The Anthonyand Lopez divorce dramacontinues

Zach Braff:Not gay, butstill likesstereotypes Zach Braff is workingquickly to clear thingsup after a hacker post-ed a notice on his web-site announcing thatthe former “Scrubs”star is gay. In the bogusstatement, Braffthanked his nearestand dearest forkeeping the secret forso long. “My oldwebsite got hacked,”Braff said in astatement to TMZ.“Someone issued a‘coming out’ statementon my behalf. I’m stillstraight and in lovewith my girlfriend. Butnot too straight; I stilllove musicals, brunchand ‘Doogie Howser.’”

If Braff weregay, he’d havea better suit.

Lopez is getting over her divorce, one Ukrainian

wedding at a time.

Summer weather practical-ly beckons you to takecamping trips. And the nexttime you find yourself fam-ished in the forest, SarahHuck and Jaimee Younghave some ideas for you.

The former cookie deco-rators, now cookbook au-thors, have penned an odeto the great outdoors withtheir new book, “CampfireCookery.” They insist thattheir gourmet recipes, likeStone-Seared CornishGame Hens with BombaySpice and Grilled Peach-Amaretto Skillet Cakes, canbe easily tackled on yournext excursion into thewilderness.

“People have been cook-

ing over fire forever andever, and it’s really not thatcomplicated,” Huck says.

“Once you get how tocontrol the heat of the fire,you can do anything thatyou would normally do inyour home kitchen,” Youngadds. “You just have to un-derstand how to controlthe heat, and we give thebest directions we can giveabout it.”

But their book is morethan just recipes: It’s a col-lection of recommenda-tions for how to best spendyour time while camping.Huck and Young offer in-structions on what to packand how to start a fire, aswell as tips on stargazing,

telling ghost stories andpicking wild berries.

“The fanciful elements,to me, are the parts thatmake the book feel reallyspecial,” Huck says. “It’sthe part that really sparksthat sense of adventurethat you feel when you’recamping. I think that wetried to pull out all theseactivities that capturedthat experience.”

Elvis Presley was the Kingof Rock ’n’ Roll, MichaelJackson was the King ofPop, Aretha Franklin is theQueen of Soul and now letit be known that Eilen Jew-ell is “Queen of the MinorKey,” as the title of her newalbum so boldly declares.

“It started off as a little,offhand remark that a mu-sician friend of ours said,”she says. “We were doing ashow together and in an-nouncing me, he men-tioned something like,‘Ladies and gentlemen, theQueen of the Minor Key,’and he kind of snickered.”

Jewell prefers to protectthe identity of her corona-tor: “He’s so nice he’d prob-ably be like, ‘Oh, thatbreaks my heart that youthought I was making funof you,’ but he totally was!”

The songs on the new al-bum range in style fromroots rock to country to’50s-style rave-ups, butmost have that minor keysound as a backdrop forcharacters who don’t quiteconnect.

“In sadness and in long-ing and in failing to con-nect, there’s a lot of dynam-ic,” says Jewell. “I feel like

happiness is a completething, and everything’s allsettled — but if there’s un-happiness, then ... that’swhere I find it to be kind ofcharged with energy.”

It is this studied appreci-ation that at times gives“Queen” an upbeat spark,and makes the momentswhere she does hit majorchords really shine.

“I don’t like to wallow inmisery,” says Jewell, “but atthe same time I do find alot of beauty in it.”

We are oh, so close to hav-ing football once more.

NFL owners approvedthe NFL Players Associa-tion’s labor agreementThursdsay evening. As ofpress time, all that re-mained was a vote by theplayers to approve the dealas well.

NFL players held a con-ference call at 8 Thursdaynight, but still appeared tobe ironing out minor dif-ferences before a votecould take place.

ESPN reported thatNFLPA executive directorDeMaurice Smith was stilllooking over the agree-

ment, which was holdingup the player vote at presstime. Apparently someteam representatives wereupset that the owners’ vote“painted us into a corner”to vote immediately.

Team facilities could beopen as soon as Saturday.

Changes to the CBA

would reportedly include a$120 million salary cap,four-year rookie contractswith a team option for afifth year, lower rookiesalaries with a team cap,later training camps and areduction in offseasonteam activities from 14 tonine. METRO

Long national nightmare (almost) over

Potential additionscould help the Pats

Free agency, in some shape or form, is likely comingsoon The Patriots have spots to fill They passedon LBs at the draft But they won’t miss them again

It’s not 100 percent certainhow this offseason’s laborstrife will affect how freeagency shakes out in theNFL. But that doesn’t affectthe Patriots’ needs one bit.

The NFL draft has comeand gone. Though it wasfilled with pass rushers —ostensibly New England’sgreatest need — the Patspassed on nearly all ofthem.

They took tackle NateSolder in the first round,followed by a defensiveback, two running backsand quarterback RyanMallet.

That leaves linebackerand wide receiver as trou-ble spots going into anyfree-agent season. Luckily,there’s talent out there.

Manny Lawson

Lawson has experience inthe 3-4 scheme with SanFrancisco. A former first-round pick (2006) Lawsonhad some success with the49ers, but never lived up toexpectations. He’s regard-ed as underrated, and he’ssolid in coverage.

Mark Herzlich

Does anyone have a biggerchip on his shoulder rightnow than Herzlich? The

cancer survivor went un-drafted out of BC, but he’llabsolutely find a team. Youcan’t question his heartand determination, that’sfor sure, and he would costnext to nothing.

Keith Bullock

Bullock is past his prime,but he’s a veteran whowould fit on the Patriots ina limited role at LB ... ifhe’ll take one.

Braylon Edwards

Since Randy Moss was trad-ed, the Pats could use adeep threat — and Ed-wards is that. It wouldmove Wes Welker back tothe slot permanently.

Mike Sims-Walker

Sims-Walker has quietlyscored 14 touchdowns overthe last two seasons. He’s a1A option if the Pats can’tgrab Edwards.

Chad Ochocinco

Why not? He loves Bill Be-lichick. And surprisinglyenough, the feeling seemsmutual.

BC’s Mark Herzlichis worth a free-agent flier.

The Patriots could use a deep threat.Braylon Edwards would provide it.
