Revere man fakes out Fire Department

Transit Police on Monday arrested a Revere man whom they say needlessly pulled a fi re alarm.

Marwin Maurin, 22, is

charged with disorderly con-duct for allegedly activating the fi re alarm box on the corner of Summer and Atlantic streets around 2:17 a.m. in order to access a nearby Red Line station to retrieve his cell phone.

He was in possession of methamphetamines, police said. METRO Maurin / TRANSIT POLICE

Investigation

Cambridge shooting damages MIT Museum

Cambridge police are investigating a shooting on Massachusetts Avenue that damaged several cars as well as the Massachusetts Insti-

tute of Technology Museum.Shots rang out near

260-290 Massachusetts Ave. around 1 a.m. Monday, police said.

At least four vehicles were reportedly involved in the shooting, which police said did not appear to have been random. GLOBE

termind in the plot, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed days later in a shootout with police.

Elena Teyer, the mother-in-law of Tsarnaev acquaintance Ibragim Todashev, was one of six women outside the court-house speaking out against the justice system.

Todashev, 27, was shot seven times by federal agents in Florida during a May 2013 interrogation. Teyer held a col-lage of his autopsy photos and spoke of her outrage over his death.

“We are all here for justice,” said Teyer. “They came from Boston to kill my son-in-law. I know that for sure.”

Investigators said Todashev attacked an agent after impli-cating himself and Tamerlan in a 2011 Waltham triple murder.

Just as in previous demon-

strations, Tsarnaev’s supporters on Monday held signs and one wore a T-shirt with an image of the accused terrorist’s face.

“I believe the boys have been set up,” said Arina Mond-tag of Haverhill, adding that the explosions may have been the result of a gas leak or an in-side job with “a bunch of crisis actors brought in.”

Karin Friedeman of Boston blamed the media for what she says is biased reporting.

“They are like maggots crawling on the dead horse of the U.S. Constitution,” she said.

At least 1,000 potential ju-rors will be screened for Tsar-naev’s trial, and 12 will be cho-sen in November.

A small but vocal gaggle of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev supporters gathered at the Boston federal courthouse on Monday morn-ing to support the accused Marathon bomber as attorneys briefly met with a judge ahead of his January trial.

Former Dorchester funeral director Joseph V. O’Donnell allegedly scammed dozens of clients and improperly stored remains. / NICOLAUS CZARNECKI, METRO

Undertaker, said to keep bodies, held on $50K bail The funeral director who is accused of illegally keeping bodies in storage facilities, bilking seniors out of tens of thousands of dollars and giving families the wrong cremated remains was held on $50,000 bail on Monday.

Joseph V. O’Donnell, a 56-year-old undertaker from Dorchester, pleaded not guilty to all charges he was facing at his arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court.

Authorities allege O’Donnell illegally operated a funeral home, handling more than 200 funerals in the city between 2008 and 2013. Police found 45 cre-mated remains and a dozen bodies at two storage facili-ties used by O’Donnell.

He now faces multiple

charges of larceny, forgery, embezzlement and improp-erly disposing of human re-mains, among other charges.

Marilyn Ferrara attended the hearing because one of her friends was among the bodies that O’Donnell is alleged to have mishandled. Her body was found in a

“It’s a disgrace what he did,” she said. “Every time he said ‘not guilty, not guilty’ I got mad.”

Eileen Collins was even more blunt.

“I would like to kick his ass, but they won’t let me,” said the 73-year-old outside the courtroom.

Collins was also friends with a now-deceased woman whose body was mishandled, and she says O’Donnell swindled her out of money.

Suffolk County prosecutor Nicholas Walsh described po-lice finding bodies in boxes piled on top of one another at the Weymouth location. DANNY MCDONALD

Fall is upon us, with its various pumpkin potables, variegated vegetation, gridiron games —and billions of dollars’ worth of tourism revenue?

Yes, you read that correctly, billions with a “b.”

If recent numbers are any indication, leaf peeping en-thusiasts are bolstering the autumn tourism season with beaucoup bucks.

Last year, the Bay State wel-comed 2.8 million visitors in September and October alone. Those folks dropped $3.5 billion while in the commonwealth, a figure that could top $4 billion this season if hotel room occu-pancy rates are any indication, according to the state.

While leaf peeping isn’t the sole factor driving tourism, re-turning college students don’t hurt — it is a central part of the New England’s draw dur-ing this time of year, said Pat Moscaritolo, CEO of Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“It’s definitely part of the allure of Boston and New Eng-land as a destination,” he said.

Moscaritolo said Boston sees about 40 percent of its tourism draw for the year during the three-week span between Sep-tember and November.

Thus the city’s tourism numbers are on pace to surpass last year, when the Sox won the World Series, he said.

In fact, if the current num-bers hold, he says Boston is hav-ing the best fall tourism season in 25 years.

New England tree huggers

New Hampshire, for example,

expects 8.2 million visitors this

year, who will spend about $1.6

billion.

• In September and October alone last year, Maine reported $581 million in restaurant and lodging gross taxable sales, according to tourism offi cials

from that state.

• In Rhode Island, if last year’s numbers are any indication, tourists could spend $2.3 bil-lion this fall.

• In Vermont in 2011, visitors dropped $459 million in the fall.

Swindle?

Casino land trio arraigned A trio of men were arraigned on Monday in connection with an attempted swindle related to a casino land deal in Everett.

Authorities say the three men tried to hide the interest of a convicted felon — Charles Lightbody — in a parcel of land in that city from state gaming regulators and from Wynn

Resorts, which last month won a Boston-area casino license.

The three men — Lightbody, 54, of Revere; Dustin DeNunzio, 37, of Cambridge; and Anthony Gattineri, 56, of Winchester -- all held a fi nancial interest in FBT Everett Realty LLC, which held the title to a parcel of land Wynn Resorts has proposed for a casino.

Monday, the trio was ar-raigned in connection with

that alleged swindle. Their next court date is set for Nov. 20.

Authorities say the trio mis-led various parties by making it seem as if Lightbody’s interest in FBT had been transferred to Gattineri in exchange for a $1.7 million promissory note.

The three allegedly hid his role in FBT because it is illegal in the state for felons to have a stake — even an indirect one — in a casino. METRO

Ebola fear ends for dozens on US watch lists

Weeks of worry about Ebola infection ended on Monday for several dozen people who came off watch lists in the United States, but more than 260 others were still being monitored for symptoms as the U.S. government ramped up its response to the virus.

In Texas, 43 people who had contact with Liberian Thomas

Eric Duncan were cleared of twice-daily monitoring after showing no symptoms during

a 21-day incubation period.The Texas health depart-

ment said 120 people in Texas were still being monitored.

“There’s zero risk that any of those people who have been marked off the list have Ebola. They were in contact with a person who had Ebola and the time period for them to get Ebola has lapsed. It is over. They do not have Ebola,” Judge Clay Jenkins, the top elected offi cial in Dallas County, said at a news confer-ence. REUTERS

‘Czar’ to reverse Ebola errors, step up response in US

U.S. Ebola response coordi-nator Ron Klain faces a long to-do list when he begins his new role: soothe Americans’ jitters about the virus, fix fed-eral coordination with states and restore a sense of control over the crisis that the White House had lost.

Klain, a former senior aide in two Democratic adminis-trations who is known for his keen political antenna, must also smooth over tensions with lawmakers who are an-gry about the missteps and mixed messages.

Klain has been dismissed as a political operative by Re-publicans because he lacks a medical background.

But administration of-ficials and his associates describe him as a problem solver who understands the levers of government and can ensure smoother coordina-tion among an array of agen-cies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion, the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration.

“(Klain) can have eyes over CDC to make sure they are ag-gressive,” said Neera Tanden,

New role. Some critics have said the naming of a “czar” would add another layer of bureaucracy to a response.

a former White House official who now leads the Center for American Progress.

“They now have SWAT teams going to all locations with Ebola patients, but clearly that is something they should have been doing ear-lier,” she said.

Thad Allen, the former

Coast Guard chief who served in a similar role leading the administration’s response to the 2010 Gulf oil spill, said it helps to have one person who can explain how all the pieces are working together during a crisis.

“Many times in these complex responses you have to combine resources across agencies, work across bound-aries,” Allen said in an inter-view.

Klain, who has a repu-tation as a “fixer” for top Democrats, has served as chief of staff to both Vice President Joe Biden and for-mer Vice President Al Gore. REUTERS

things I learned on a reality show

↓↑

The U.S. stock markets have had some nice consolidation as

of late, which is very healthy for us long-term. A little more fading wouldn’t hurt either.

Despite all the fears, Ebola really isn’t spreading as fast as

some people thought, thank God!

This past week, my girlfriend and I and six of my top students were on Bravo’s “Below Deck.” I chartered a 154-foot yacht for three days and treated everyone to what I thought would be a luxurious and fun experience. Here are three lessons from my miscalculation:

Lesson No. 1: Reality shows don’t depict reality

I thought it’d be amazing to trade aboard with my students and have some romantic alone time with my girlfriend. Even though both activities went perfectly

in real life, the TV show depicts them as disasters.

I made $70,000 on my yacht trade and was sure they’d show some or all of it because it was pretty dramatic. Instead, the producers focused on my complaining about the lack of Internet — which did make the trade a little tricky — and made it seem like I didn’t make any money.

Lesson No. 2: There’s no such thing as bad press

This isn’t my fi rst or last reality show, and no matter how each

one turns out, more people dis-cover me, my story and my niche trading strategy. In a noisy world you must do everything possible to get the word out about yourself and your expertise.

Lesson No. 3: Lose some battles to win the war

The biggest reason the TV show ripped on me is because I “only” tipped the “Below Deck” crew $17,000, roughly 25 percent, instead of the full $22,000 I had planned on tipping them had they given me the service I was expecting.

I was right in principle, as tips should be based on service. But because this was being fi lmed, I should’ve sucked it up and been overly generous to make the crew happy and not want to talk badly about me in their post-trip interviews. It was my bad for being frugal and realistic when I got myself into this situation and should’ve realized the conse-quences of my actions.

These served as good les-sons for me. Too bad there’s no reality show guru who could’ve mentored me beforehand!

What Sykes is thinking about this week

Stealth augmented reality startup Magic Leap just raised $500 million in an investment

round led by Google. Big things are coming for Google Glass!

New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz might be injured for the season, but I love his

post-surgery upbeat attitude in his latest Instagram video.

Airlines still don’t seem to realize the risks of Ebola, as

we keep hearing of more Ebola patients who have fl own and

risked infecting others.

1Let’s talk about that infamous VMAs kiss

More than a decade ago, Madonna shocked MTV viewers by locking lips with Britney Spears (and Christina Aguilera) during the 2003 VMAs — which might not seem like news, but Spears’ longtime manager, Larry Ru-dolph, feels like reminiscing. And you may be surprised to learn that the lip-lock was completely planned. Rehearsed, even. “Madonna had been very, very, very

Will Cyrus be Grande’s new life coach?

It’s tough being a Disney Channel alum-turned-international pop star, mostly because there are so few people who really get what you’re go-ing through. Case in point: When Ariana Grande found herself feeling overwhelmed by nasty reports that she’d been caught swearing at her fans and that her life coach

had up and quit on her, she had nowhere else

to turn but Miley Cyrus. “I was upset and I contacted

Miley. I said, ‘Miley, I’m so sad — what do I do? This isn’t true. My heart is broken, I feel so bad,’” Grande tells the Daily Mirror. “She was like, ‘Girl, don’t even look at it. Just be happy that you’re blessed. You have family and friends that love you, you have fans that love you who know what’s true and what’s not. It will blow over and tomorrow they’ll be talking about something else.’” I’m going to go ahead and assume Cyrus delivered this advice while lying spread-eagle on the hood of a car, tongue sticking out, but still: It looks like Grande has already found a new life coach.

She would just say, ‘You make sure Britney’s here tomorrow at 10 o’clock.’” After it went off successfully, Rudolph found himself in an elevator with Madge herself. “And she said, ‘You see, Larry? It was all worth it.’” And she gave him a big (but less photographed) kiss.

Sophie Kinsella talks feminism and the return of the ‘Shopaholic’ series Novel. Just because it’s escapism doesn’t mean it’s fl uff .

When British writer Sophie Kinsella released her first book in 2003, “Confessions of a Shopaholic,” “chick-lit” was a new genre. The story about romance, shopping sprees and friendship reso-nated with readers all over the world and even spawned a movie starring Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy. Kinsella’s seventh novel in the series, out today, is her first in four years; it has been 11 years since the first “Shopaholic” book. We talk to her about the book’s deeper themes and how writing for women has changed over the past decade.

IT’S BEEN FOUR YEARS SINCE THE LAST BOOK, BUT THE

NEW “SHOPAHOLIC” IS OUT TODAY. JOHN SWANNELL

“Shopaholic to the Stars” is defi nitely a fun read, but there is a deeper theme of how women’s work is valued versus their husbands’ work. Is this a discussion you wanted to spark for readers?I never write any scenes delib-

erately to provoke discussion, but I do try to reflect reality as I see it. The struggle for any family to balance its breadwin-ning and parenting needs is definitely a big issue of today. Becky and Luke have a very real dilemma: They want to support each other and follow their individual ambitions but remain a tight family unit. It’s a tough ask and I don’t think there are any easy answers.

Has writing about Becky changed since the fi rst book came out?When I started writing the first “Shopaholic” book, debt was not the topical subject it is today — in fact, I feel like I was ahead of the curve! ... The financial crisis shook us all up and it was weirdly satisfying writing Becky’s response to it in “Mini Shopaholic.” I think the world has been through

its own shopaholic journey. We’re all a bit wiser now, and Becky is, too.

You were one of the fi rst authors whose books were labeled “chick lit.” Was that a label you embraced?I’m fairly relaxed about the phrase “chick lit,” partly be-cause it’s so nebu-lous. What does it even mean, exactly? But I do think it’s a shame to categorize a readership as all-female before you even begin. I know I have some male read-ers, even if they hide the books behind sports magazines! So

I’d prefer “romantic comedy” or the label I saw in a book-shop once: “wit lit.”

Has the way you write to women or anything about the book market changed over time?When I write, I don’t really think about “writing to women” or the book market. I think that would distract me, and anyway, I don’t believe in trying to second-guess readers or markets. I just tell a story, in the best way I can, trying to write the book that I’d love to read myself. I haven’t deliberately changed my style, although I have obviously noticed trends coming and going. (No, I am not planning a “50 Shades of Shopaholic”!)

Controversy. A new way to save water on campus Two English college students say they’ve come up with a plan that would save their school nearly 200 million gal-lons of water a year.

Their proposal? Start peeing in the shower every morning.

The Go with the Flow campaign is the brainchild of Debs Torr and Chris Dobson, two students at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, Eng-land. Dobson told the BBC that if everyone on campus took up the challenge, they would con-serve several swimming pools’ worth of water each year.

But the proposal has some students reaching for the antibacterial soap. The organiz-ers say no one should take the challenge unless there is a consensus. “We would encour-age that every person using the same shower consents to the challenge — and if not, they don’t take part,” says Dobson.

Regardless, perhaps East Anglia students should be ex-tra careful about remembering to wear flip-flops while they wash. LAKSHMI GANDHI

Would you want to use these showers? / STOCKBYTE

Health

Is it safe?

Torr and Dobson consulted with a professor about po-tential health risks. “Urine is nontoxic. ... Combined with the shower water fl owing down the drain, there is really no risk to health or hygiene,” accord-ing to their Facebook page.

Nap rooms: The latest college campus trend

There is a better option than napping at your desk. / WAVEBREAK MEDIA

Sleep. Students across the country say they need a place to rest.

College is a time filled with new experiences (and lots of schoolwork) leaving little time for students to get a good night’s rest. University of Ala-bama researchers found that a stunning 60 percent of college students aren’t getting enough sleep.

Some schools are acknowl-edging their sleepy students in a novel way: by creating nap rooms on campus. As part of a pilot program, the University of Michigan made room for a so-called “napping station” in-side its undergraduate library earlier this year. And Virginia’s James Madison University cre-ated a “Nap Nook” for students last year. Students visiting the Nap Nook can reserve a bean

bag to nap on for up to 45 min-utes at a time.

Even students at Harvard University have tried to get in on the action. Nearly 200 Har-vard students signed a petition last year advocating for a desig-nated nap area.

There’s also an advantage

to nap rooms for all of the non-nappers out there: They no longer have to tiptoe past students sleeping on desks at the library.

Quoted

“We had 2,500-plus naps recorded at the center in its fi rst year.”Caroline Cook, research director at JMU’s Sleep and Actigraphy Lab in an interview with NBC News

There are a billion better ways to spend $1 billion than on a new casino in BostonIn response to Steve Tolman, president of the AFL-CIO, who claims that annually, $1 billion can be better spent at the proposed casino in Boston, here is my list of ways $1 billion can collectively be better spent than at a new

casino in Boston:1. Creating new outdoor

interactive spaces in our city (have you seen how great the Lawn on D is?)

2. Buying your family a tastier/healthier dinner

3. Donating to a cause that is meaningful to you

4. Helping your niece with her student loan debt

5. A gym membership6. Buying a new toilet for

your downstairs bathroom (because even that beats fl ushing 1 billion down the drains of the shiny, pretty toilets at a casino)STEVEN HARDING, VIA EMAIL

US has many incentives to stop EbolaOur government and medical offi cials felt compelled, early on, to allay fear in our general population by touting the su-periority and preparedness of our medical facilities and staff , which precluded any possibility of an Ebola outbreak happen-ing here. Even with the early missteps, that original message of safety and survival continues and must be very attractive to people in Ebola-infected

areas. We have attracted others here with jobs and freedom. We should not be surprised when people from infected areas travel here to escape the likelihood of having themselves and their families ravished by a deadly epidemic. That potential exodus is reason enough for the international community, partic-ularly the highly industrialized western nations, to accelerate its medical assistance.GLENN HAYES, VIA EMAIL

Darrelle Revis has one interception this season. / GETTY IMAGES

Early returns on Revis have been mixedDefensive statistics in football should always be taken with a grain of salt.

For instance, the current leader in solo tackles in the NFL is Tampa Bay linebacker Lavon-te David with 51. Cleveland’s Tashaun Gipson and Buffalo’s Leodis McKelvin are the cur-rent leaders in interceptions with four apiece. That’s not to say those players aren’t good, but your casual football fan wouldn’t recognize all three of those names and none are ex-actly locks for Defensive Player of the Year.

Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis, he with the meager 19 tackles this year and just one interception, has not yet done enough to garner many votes for 2014 DPOY either.

The individual numbers for Revis in 2014 are certainly not there, and there have been sev-eral plays this season that have left more than a few Patriots fans scratching their heads and wondering, “Did we get dam-aged goods with this guy?”

In this past Thursday’s “too-close-for-comfort” win over the Jets, Revis was pedestrian against his old team. New York quarter-back Geno Smith threw a perfect ball over the out-stretched arms of Revis and into the hands of Eric Decker for a 24-yard gain that eventually led to a field goal. The Jets weren’t exactly frightened to throw to Revis’ side of the field.

“Great throw by Geno

NFL. Darrelle Revis has been good but not great so far in his Patriots career.

Cornering the market

Darrelle Revis is being com-

pared to Aqib Talib on a game-

by-game basis this season.

• Revis signed with the Patriots just three days after Talib bolted Foxboro for Denver.

• Talib’s individual numbers are slightly better than Revis’ this season as he has 20 tackles and two inter-ceptions — one of which was returned 22 yards for a touchdown against the Jets. Revis has 19 tackles on the season and one interception.

Smith,” Revis said. “I undercut it and if he had thrown it any other way it was going to be going the other way, because I was on it like a hawk. Great throw. I’ve got to give credit to them executing that play. Great throw. Great catch by Decker … I was there. Sometimes, it’s a game of inches. [Smith] threw it right at the out of bounds line; it was that close.”

With Revis as the Pats’ pro-verbial “shutdown corner,” however, the Patriots’ team pass defense numbers are there. The Pats rank No. 1 in the league in fewest passing yards allowed per game (208.0), a season after finishing 18th in the league (239.0).

And when the Patriots have faced teams with per-ceived “elite” receivers, Revis has earned the “shutdown” label. According to the Sport-ing News, the Bengals looked in the direction of A.J. Green six times in the first half of the Patriots’ 43-17 win over Cincy, and it resulted in an interception (though offset-ting penalties nullified the play), four incompletions and one catch. When Green finally did make a grab, Revis wrestled him to the ground and stripped the ball in the process, giving the Pats possession.

Bills receiver Sammy Watkins, who had 122 yards of receiving and two touchdowns against the Vikings this past Sunday, was similarly held in check by Revis and the Pats de-fense in Week 6. Watkins was targeted just three times by Kyle Orton and caught just two balls for 27 yards.

By the numbers

10Statistics have never truly backed up what Darrelle Revis can bring to a football fi eld. During his three All-Pro seasons in New York — 2009, 2010, 2011 — Revis recorded 10 interceptions total.

Raptors (48-34) The guys north of the border look to be competitive again. They re-signed Kyle Lowry, which was by far their most important off season task.

NBA preseason power rankings | by James ToscanoNo. 1

Clippers (57-25)Head coach Doc Rivers has a full year under his belt in Southern California, the circus surrounding former owner Donald Sterling is over, and it seems like only injuries can stop this talented bunch. No more excuses for Chris Paul and Co. As far as depth goes, “Big Baby” Davis and Hedo Turkoglu return and Los Angeles went out and signed Jordan Farmar, Spencer Hawes and Chris Douglas-Roberts.

Rockets(54-28) The Rockets couldn’t land any of the big names in free agency and lost Chandler Par-sons to Dallas. Trevor Ariza was their “big” signing.
