1Search continues formissing BC student

Divers will spend today searching reservoir near college Family has high hope that theirson is still alive Student, friends were talking about travel plans before disappearance

What started as a night outwith friends, having drinks anddiscussing an upcoming springbreak trip, has turned into anearly weeklong search for amissing Boston College studentbeloved by his community.

Friends and family gatheredaround the Chestnut Hill Reser-voir yesterday and waited withbated breath as state police un-derwater recovery unitsscoured the water using specialsonar scanners and two divers,looking for 21-year-old FrancoGarcia.

After a three-hour search, re-sults came up negative, but theinvestigation in the reservoirwill resume today.

“I know my son is not here,”said Garcia’s father, Jose Garcia,staring at the lake with tearsforming in his eyes. “He’s alive— I know he’s alive. Somethingtells me I will see him soon.”

Garcia’s mother said shehasn’t slept much since her sonwent missing last Wednesdayfrom Mary Ann’s bar in Cleve-land Circle.

“No one in the world shouldfeel this pain,” said LuzmilaGarcia.

Luzmila, like her husband,said she had doubts her son’s

body will be found in the water.“He is in some place he does

not want to be,” she said.“That’s my fear — that some-one is going to hurt him.”

Close friends of Garcia’sbrought food for his family asthey stood by and clutchedposters with their son’s smilingface printed on them. Theywaited hours for the resultsfrom the search.

“It’s just a lot of shock. It hasbeen really tough,” said MarkPotash, who has known Garciasince their freshman year.

“Seeing this makes youthink of the worst case sce-nario,” he said.

Newton police officialscalled Garcia’s disappearance“very unusual,” but foul playhas been ruled out.

Film documents OccupyBoston rise and fallFrom the first tent that wentup in Dewey Square in lateSeptember to the last one dis-mantled by Boston police sev-eral months later, John For-rester captured the OccupyBoston movement on film.

On March 1, Forrester willdebut “The Occupiers,” a docu-mentary tracing the emer-gence of the group throughthe perspective of the occupa-tion’s activists.

“There hasn’t been a lot ofactivism in our generation.We are known as this apathet-ic generation,” said Forrester.“We thought it was interest-ing that people were steppingup to do something in a major

kind of way.”Forrester said it was curios-

ity that initially brought himand film co-creator Joseph

Leahy to one of the first Occu-py meetings, and from therethe cameras started to roll.

The film was part of a grad-uate school project at Emer-son College that Forresterstarted with his classmate.

Forrester said the duospent many nights at thecamp once it was constructed,embedding themselves in themarches, protests and “directaction” around Boston.

“We tried to … retain dis-tance from the movement andreport on it fairly and objec-tively, and I think we succeed-ed,” he said.

The film steers clear of ad-vancing any political views oc-

cupiers may have had, but fol-lows the daily tasks of severalof its key members, highlight-ing life inside Dewey Square.

Focusing on the creation ofthe Occupy community andthe challenges they faced bothinside camp as well as incourt, Forrester filmed thehurdles occupiers were forcedto deal with as a group.

“It’s a bit of history. It’s aportrait at its core,” said For-rester. “It’s not a definitive his-torical record, but it’s whatwent on from the perspectivesof [the occupiers].”

John Forrester filmed an upcoming documentary titled “The Occupiers” about the Occupy Boston movement.

Hazardous material crews responded to Sen. ScottBrown's Boston office yesterday afternoon for a suspi-cious package. Tests on the envelope were negativeand it was shipped to a lab for investigation.

Boston Beer Co., the maker of Sam Adams beer, is nowtied with D.G. Yuengling & Son as the largestAmerican-owned brewer, according to CNBC. Bothcompanies reported they shipped 2.5 million barrels.

What springcould bringSoon after the banishmentfrom Dewey Square, the occu-piers sought indoor space tohold their meetings.

But months have passedsince the physical demise ofOccupy Boston’s encampmentand spring is nearing.

While Forrester admits thegroup has had “somehiccups” since they lost theirhome base, he said there ispotential for the movementto gain momentum oncespring arrives.

“It remains to be seen …spring could bring moreactions and I think there willbe more national Occupy dia-logue,” he said.

DA reverses on cop shootingmotiveA spokeswoman for Essex Coun-ty District Attorney JonathanBlodgett said the motive behindthe shooting of a Beverly policeofficer by another officer fromout of town will be investigated.

Carrie Kimball Monahantold the Globe earlier yesterdaythat it would not be investigat-ed because Hamilton Sgt. Ken

Nagy killed himself after shoot-ing Beverly Officer Jason Lan-tych Friday night.

There were still no detailsreleased about why the shoot-ing occurred. Authorities havesaid that the men knew eachother and arranged to meet ata Beverly Starbucks. Both wereoff duty.

Authorities have also saidNagy’s wife worked as a domes-tic violence advocate with theBeverly Police Department.METRO/BOSTON.COM

The officers:

The officers involved in theshooting were both veteransin their departments.

Officer Jason Lantych, 35, is a10-year veteran in Beverly.He was shot in the leg andwrist, but is doing OK.Sgt. Ken Nagy worked for theHamilton Police Departmentfor 19 years.

Federal authorities are renewingtheir efforts and using social me-dia to hunt down a Dorchesterman who has been on the runfor nearly two decades after be-ing accused of sexually abusingtwo young boys.

John Joseph Hartin wascharged in 1993 with fivecounts of statutory rape of achild on two young boys he be-friended in the Boston area.

“John Hartin has been onthe run for 18 years, much toolong for the victims of his al-leged crimes,” FBI SpecialAgent Kristina Norris said in astatement.

Besides using traditionalmeans of attracting interest inHartin’s case — offering a new$25,000 reward for information— federal agents are taking tosocial media.

The FBI’s Boston Division is,for the first time, using limitedFacebook ads to search for afugitive, the agency said.

The Facebook ads, along

with digital billboards, wereslated to start running yester-day. Hartin was featured on alocal TV station earlier thismonth, and some new leadshave come in, an FBIspokesman said yesterday.

Hartin, 42, is 5-foot-8 andweighed about 200 poundswhen he was last seen. Heshould be considered armedand dangerous.

Anyone with informationcan call 800-CALL-FBI.

The e-mails, snatched byhackers, could unmask sensi-tive sources and throw light onthe murky world of intelli-gence-gathering by the compa-ny known as Stratfor, whichcounts Fortune 500 companies

among its subscribers.Stratfor in a statement said

the release of its stolen e-mails was an attempt to si-lence and intimidate it.

It said it would not becowed under the leadership ofGeorge Friedman, Stratfor’sfounder and chief executiveofficer. It said Friedman hadnot resigned as CEO, contraryto a bogus e-mail circulatingon the Internet. REUTERS

With a politicallycharged Sup -reme Court re-view thissum mer, we can

expect a renewed frenzy overObamacare. Like the darkprince, Beelzebub, the PatientProtection and Affordable CareAct is a creature known bymany names. And while thereis much about the polarizingnew law and its enactmentprocess that deserves criticism,many of the most importantand interesting parts of the lawremain poorly understood.

The exchange system — the

network of state-administeredmarkets that the act creates —is the central component ofObamacare, and it providessurprising insight into thelaw’s approach to state rights,consumer choice and regulat-ed markets.

The exchange system is likean imaginary supermarket thatonly sells health insurance. Tobe sold on the exchange, an in-surance plan must clearly dis-play its “nutritional facts” tomake comparison shoppingeasier. Each plan must alsoabide by basic quality standardsdesigned to ensure that everyplan sold on the exchange pro-vides an adequate range of cov-erage for the price. For instance,plans on the exchange mustspend at least 80 percent of pre-miums on health care, insteadof things like executive pay,marketing or corporate jets.The exchange excludes plansthat deny coverage for pre-exist-ing conditions and puts limitson plans that try to charge more

for riskier customers. In addition to federal regula-

tion, each state can adjust therules of its own exchange andoffer a state-level “public op-tion” to compete on the ex-change. With a federal blessing,states can even band together tocreate regional exchanges.Under the Act, a state can optout of the exchange system en-tirely, if it can create an alterna-tive health insurance programthat achieves equal or bettercoverage for the same cost.

But why would any self-respecting insurancecompany want to playby these new rules andparticipate in the ex-

changes? Because only plans onthe exchange are eligible to re-ceive the new federal health in-surance subsidies.

For those who do not receivecoverage through their employ-er and spend more than 10 per-cent of their income on healthcare costs, Obamacare provides

a tax credit sufficient to bringthose costs below 10 percent —provided one’s health insuranceis purchased on the exchange.By 2019, $113 billion in subsi-dies will be up for grabs eachyear on the exchanges, accord-ing to CBO estimates. Only bycompeting with the other planson the exchange can insurancecompanies hope to get theirhands on those juicy federaldollars.

The exchange system is atrue capitalist’s solution to thehealth insurance problem. Itcreates a regulated market-place where for-profit, non-profit and public insuranceproviders alike compete onthe merits for customers whocan easily compare the costsand benefits of each plan. Andthe exchange system givesstates the flexibility to experi-ment with alternatives, whilechallenging them to competewith one another.

What do you call this stance? Angeling Jolie-ing? Angelegging?

THE WORDMetro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip @dorothyatmetro dorothy.robinson@metro.us

It’s two days after the Oscarsand the world isn’t talkingabout how Billy Crystal didas a host (meh!), who won

(“The Artist,” a lot!), or who lost(Viola Davis, you were robbed!).Nope. The world is focused onone thing: Angelina Jolie’s leg.

Her awkward red carpetstance, in which she made sureher right leg was constantly ondisplay through the slit in herblack, velvet Atelier Versacegown, is a pose that haslaunched a thousand Internetmemes, from a Twitter handle— @AngiesRightLeg — whichis nearing 15,000 followerswith tweets like, “You have toadmit I’m one hell of a leg!” to aTumblr account entitled“Angelina Jolie’ing,” wherereaders can upload photos ofthemselves showing off theirashy thighs.

There’s no reason for whyshe stood like that, time andtime again. (My theory: Herbony leg was poking out tosniff around for a sandwich.)

But perhaps the best mockingof the leg came from “TheDescendants” co-writer JimRash, who hit the stage withAlexander Payne and Nat Faxonto accept the award for BestAdapted Screenplay. The lookwas quickly imitated by Faxon,but the scribes insist theyweren’t mocking the actress.“She’s supremely hot,” Faxonsaid backstage, while Rash wasquick to explain his actions: “Ijust saw her pose and Ithought, you know what, wehave exactly the same legs,” thewriter. “It was more like, ‘Oh,she’s standing, great, I’m goingto stand like that, too.’”

Rash better watch it.No one mocks AngelinaJolie in front of her faceand gets away with it.The last person whoprobably did that wasBilly Bob Thornton, andwe’re pretty sure he’scurrently working at aCracker Barrel inParissapany, N.J.

Jolie and Pitt towork together againThey first fell for each other whilemaking a movie together, so itwas just a matter of time beforeBrad Pitt and Angelina Jolieteamed up again onscreen. Andnow the Hollywood power cou-ple is looking for another project.“We’re talking about it. We havean idea,” Jolie tells E! News,

adding that it won’t be a “Mr.and Mrs. Smith” sequel — or acomedy at all, most likely. “Wedon’t know how funny we are.”In fact, they might not be playinglovers in any way. “You neverknow what you want to see anactual couple do,” says Jolie.“Sometimes it’s better if they’renot a couple.”

Hathaway and Lohanhave something incommon?While most might not think so,Anne Hathaway insists she can

relate to a particularly troubledyoung starlet. “Lindsay Lohanand I have more in commonthan people think,” Hathawaytells the Sun. “We’ve all donethings we shouldn’t. I wastedtime doing self-destructivethings.” And exactly what sort ofthings are we talking abouthere? “I found you can onlydance on so many tabletops,”Hathaway says. “I got all that outof my system.”

Federline’sparenting tips

Kevin Federline is determined tokeep his two sons with BritneySpears grounded — even if itmeans working in fast food. “I’llhave them working at Micky D’s.That’s how we had to do it. Iworked at a car wash. I worked ata pizza place. Things like thatmade me,” Federline tellsAustralia’s Herald Sun. “Sean andJayden have missed out on somuch of that with me and theirmom being so busy all the time.Now we’ve both agreed that thisis it, they are going to be atschool and learn what it’s like tobe part of society as kids.”

Talking points

Hathaway

Stylist: Itwasn’t a nipslip!Many eagle-eyed viewerswere convinced they caughtJennifer Lopez having awardrobe malfunction whilepresenting at the Oscars, buther stylist, Mariel Haenn, in-sists there was no nipple-bar-ing. “The dress fit perfectly toher every inch. There werecups built in and there’s nochance that there were any,how do you say? ‘slips,’”Haenn posted on Twitter.“While the dress did give theillusion of sheer-ness, joke’son everyone who wishesthey saw something.”

Best known as the front-man and lyricist forthe Hold Steady, CraigFinn is taking a brief

hiatus from the band and go-ing out on his own. His solorecord, “Clear Heart FullEyes,” came out earlier thismonth and he’s now on tourto promote and preview hisnew songs.

“We decided to take a four-or five-month break and I need-ed something to do,” says Finn.“I had made five records in sev-en years with the Hold Steadyand figured I would step out-side and get some perspective.That’s the best way to grow ar-

tistically. I’m a big fan of push-ing forward to the point of dis-comfort. I took new approacheswith this one that would bene-fit me and the Hold Steady.”

With an educated and spo-ken-word delivery, Finn’s rapidrants often reflect the passionthat Jack Kerouac was able to

put to his typewriter with theimmediacy of those ampheta-mine-fueled fingers. But whileFinn’s recurring charactersstrayed from the straight andnarrow, his band’s songs usual-ly offered some sort of solace orcatharsis in the end — with hissolo record, not so much.

“I think [the solo record]lacks some of the optimismthat the Hold Steady has,”notes Finn. “The Hold Steady ispositive, and there’s a celebrat-ed nature to the music. I choseto take a little break from that.”

If college is the time for explor-ing ideas and finding yourself,then Chidera “Chiddy”Anamege and Noah “XaphoonJones” Bersin spent their timeon campus well. Since meetingas freshmen at Drexel Universi-ty, the duo known as ChiddyBang made it a regular practiceto push hip-hop’s boundaries.Now with nearly 17 millionYouTube views for their break-out hit, “Opposite Of Adults,”which samples MGMT’s “Kids,”they’re primed for the releaseof their debut, “Breakfast,”which comes out today.But what exactly is itabout Chiddy Bang thatmakes the frat boys gocrazy?

Xaphoon Jones’ alterna-tive rock and electronica-based tracks paired with Chid-dy’s party time lyrics havehelped them find an increasingworldwide fan base.

It also doesn’t hurt thatPharrell Williams, known forhis work with Jay-Z, Justin Tim-berlake, Busta Rhymes and Brit-

ney Spears, co-produced“Breakfast” with XaphoonJones. Even though there are afew unusual samples, the hip-hop ethics remain the same:Give the people somethingthey can feel.

“It’s like having a dance mu-sic mentality,” says Chiddy. “Indance music, there’s no rules.You harness the energy and getthe people going crazy. I justtake that, slow it down to a hip-hop tempo and try to f— somepeople’s heads up.”

The MC and DJ combo ofChiddy Bang is a bit of a nod tothe classic duos throughouthip-hop history. Chiddy is thecurrent Guinness World Recordholder for longest freestyle, soeven though “Breakfast” is thefirst meal of their dawning ca-reer, it’s not a stretch to put the

duo with the greats.“The rappers I loved

had bars for days,” Chid-dy says. “I grew upfreestyling. I was a fresh-man in high school,battling seniors. [Itwas] me against, like,the captain of thefootball team —

straight destroying him!”

Do it at the doc’s.If possible, get the piercing doneat your pediatrician’s office. Itwill be more sterile than at themall.

Pick hypoallergenic studs.Some kids develop an allergicreaction to metals that are usedto pierce the skin. Considerchoosing plastic piercing studs,which won’t cause a reaction.

Clean the piercing daily.Wipe the area with rubbing alco-hol twice a day during the firsttwo weeks and once a day forthe following six weeks, saysTanya Altmann, M.D., author of“Mommy Calls.” RACHEL MORRIS

If your little princess is ready to trade in her clip-ons, pick hypoallergenic studs and make an appointment with her doctor.

Lather, rinse, repeatThis may seem obvious, but itbears a reminder: Wash yourhands regularly. To do it effec-tively, experts recommendscrubbing your hands withsoap, under warm running wa-ter, for at least 20 seconds. Butin a pinch, a hand sanitizer willdo. Plus, it’s nice to have aquick-clean option after touch-ing surfaces like sticky armrests and tray tables.

Keep movingLong-haul flights can do anumber on the body, causingcramps, muscle pain and neckstrain. Taking periodic walksup and down the aisle is oneremedy, but there are other al-ternatives, like yoga poses. Asun salutation in the aisle maynot be appreciated, so trythese less space-consumingmoves. Seated twist: Place onehand on the opposite kneeand twist your torso towardthat hand. Hold for 30 sec-onds, then switch. Hip stretch:Cross one leg over the otherand lean forward, folding overyour legs. Hold, then switchlegs and repeat.

Stay hydratedWhile flying, it’s best to avoiddrinks that will dehydrate you.The list includes all of our fa-vorite vices, from alcoholic bev-erages to caffeinated sodas andcoffee. Try drinking water orjuice instead, and don’t rely on

the airline to provide enoughduring your flight. It’s always agood idea to bring a water bot-tle with you, filling it up at awater fountain before youboard the plane. This alterna-tive is better than buying bot-tled water at the airport — notonly for environmental rea-sons, but because you’ll want tostay hydrated on your trip too,whether you’re spending timeon the beach or gallivantingaround a big city.

REVOLUTION PREVIEW

Starting freshNew coach, new unis, new front office This ain’t your big brother’s

Revolution Influx of youth could get Revs back to MLS top in a hurryIn 2012, the New England Revo-lution are pressing the resetbutton.

Not that the franchise neces-sarily needed a new beginning.Attendance has been relativelystrong at GilletteStadium/Foxboro Stadiumsince the program got off theground in 1996 and the teamhas seen its fair share of successon the field, having appeared infour MLS Cup finals (2002, ’05,’06, ’07).

But management felt theneed to tweak, as former headcoach Steve Nicol, who had led

the Revolution for a decade,was let go after the team fin-ished last in the MLS’s EasternConference.

Brought in for the freshstart at head coach was formerRevolution star defender andNew England native Jay Heaps.To some onlookers, the hirewas a curious move as the 35-year-old Heaps has little headcoaching experience.

“He’s a really dynamic guyand that’s what we were look-ing for,” said another fresh facein Brian Bilello, who was pro-moted to team president lastNovember. “In our league, therules change constantly. It’s notlike the NFL where we’re draft-ing guys out of one geographi-cal region each year. There’s alot of changing that goes onyear to year and (Heaps) isn’tafraid to change the way hethinks about things.”

Heaps’ résumé is quite im-

pressive despite the lack ofhead coaching experience. Hewas most recently working atMorgan Stanley’s privatewealth division and has alsobeen a color commentator forRevolution broadcasts since re-tiring from the game in 2009.

Heaps played soccer at DukeUniversity before being select-ed No. 2 overall in the 1999MLS Draft and was a pupil oflegendary Blue Devils coachMike Krzyzewski as he admit-tedly “rode the pine” on thebasketball team during the late’90s. But Heaps learned a greatdeal from the Hall of Famecoach every day and plans topractice many of his lessons.

“I want to emulate a lot of

the things Coach K does,”Heaps told Metro. “His passionis the main thing and it’s conta-gious. I also love how blatantlyhonest he is. He doesn’t lie, hedoesn’t BS you. He gives it toyou straight and brings it everyday, every night.”

Heaps has surrounded him-self with an experienced coach-ing staff in hopes of returningthe franchise to glory.

“There’s a realism to thisfresh start,” Heaps said. “Whenthings get a little stale, youbring in new faces and some-times it calls for a rebirth. Weneed to find our own identity.”

Jay Heaps returns as Revs’ head coach.

“He has a greatattitude, a greatplan for how hewants things to berun ... the workethic on this teamwill beunparalleled.”REVOLUTION PRESIDENT BRIANBILELLO ON HEAD COACH JAY HEAPS

Rev it up

Three players to watch thisseason:

1 With the third overall pickin the 2012 MLSSuperDraft, the Revs usedit on UCLA midfielder Ke-lyn Rowe. The 20-year-old Rowe looks to make animmediate impact on aRevs team that could usehelp across the board. AU.S. under-23 nationalteam player, Rowe hasbeen a huge reason theRevolution are 5-0-0 inpreseason play. He hasfour goals and four assiststo date.

2 A.J. Soares, a defender,started 28 games for theRevs last season, logging awhopping 2,464 minutes(high for a rookie). Soaresisn’t a huge player, but willstill use his body to winballs and isn’t afraid to getphysical (two yellow cards,two red cards last season).

3 Benny Feilhaber is nowthe face of the Revolution,and for good reason. Hewas acquired through theMLS Allocation Processlast season after he signedon to join MLS in April andwas quickly snatched upby the Revs after twoteams in front of thempassed for reasons havingto do with dollar figures.He has made 38appearances with the U.S.national team and was amember of the 2010 FIFAWorld Cup and 2008Olympic squads. He start-ed 23 games last seasonfor the Revs.

Fans will get their first look at the new Revs March 10 when they travel to San Jose. The first Revs home game is March 24.

Bruins add trio of newplayers at the deadlineWith a key Bruins player suc-cumbing to injury seeminglyevery week, general managerPeter Chiarelli was thinkingas much quantity as qualityat Monday’s trade deadline.

Toward that end, the Bru-ins made a pair of tradesMonday, bringing in left-shotdefenseman Mike Mottauand forward Brian Rolstonfrom the Islanders in ex-change for prospects YannickRiendeau and Marc Cantin.The Bruins also acquired a

second lefty defenseman –and shot-blocking specialist –Greg Zanon from Minnesotafor Steve Kampfer.

With Zanon and Mottau,the Bruins shored up theirdefense, while Rolston helpsoffset the loss of Nathan Hor-ton (concussion) and RichPeverley (knee). Johnny Boy-chuck may also miss timewith concussion-like symp-toms after taking a hit Satur-day night in Ottawa againstthe Senators. JEFF GOLDBERG
