Metro exclusive: Santa speaksDespite a very hectic schedule crafting toys and checking who’s been naughty ornice, Metro was able to snag a few moments of Santa Claus’ time when he was gathering wish lists from kids of all ages at Macy’s recently. We asked the busiestman of the holiday season about his gift-giving gig: Turns out that even in this economy, hard-working elves still receive pretty sweet bonuses. {page 16}

As the landscapers yester-day poured new dirt andsod where tents once stoodon Dewey Square, evictedOccupiers were meetingagain just a short walk awayin the Boston Common.
While their occupationof Dewey Square is over, itappears their efforts are notclose to ending.
Occupiers spent the week-end trying to figure outwhere to go and how to pro-ceed with their cause nowthat they can’t return to theRose Kennedy Greenway.
Occupy Boston Radio waslaunched online yesterdayand Occupiers are planningtheir first general assemblyfor Occupy Allston onThursday night. The neigh-borhood initiative is look-ing for an indoor space forthe meeting.
Members of OccupyBoston said yesterday thatthey are also looking for in-door spaces, such as church-es or union halls, to host fu-ture meetings.
While the exact plan forthe future is being workedout, Occupiers shared theirown thoughts about how themovement should proceed.
Jeff Nunes, 17, a formercustodian who dropped outof high school, said thereare talks to try and shutdown a port or a bank.
“Actions that actually ac-complish something. If we
shut down a bank it wouldcost that bank millions aday,” Nunes said.
Other Occupiers, likeMidge, who did not want togive her last name, said shewould like to see a “tent ofdissent” set up in yards andin front of businessesthroughout the city to showsupport for the movement.
Occupier Rachel Plattussaid that while it was “heartwrenching” to see the campgone, she is excited aboutworking on the move-ment’s future.
“We had hundreds ofpeople at our last meeting.It’s going to take some timeto work out how we’re go-ing to move forward,” Plat-tus said yesterday.
Occupy vows tokeep the faith
Movement shifting with more activity online Radio station forms Meeting planned for Occupy Allston Group searches for indoor spaceOriginal agenda remains: Rejecting a world created by the 1 percent

Gingrich fights offrivals in GOP debate
Current frontrunner keeps his cool against attacks from Romney, Perry Mitt offers $10,000 bet that rival doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Republican presidential candidates participate in a GOP presidential debate at Drake University on Saturday.
Surging frontrunner NewtGingrich fought off heavyattacks in a presidentialdebate in Iowa on Saturdayfrom Republican rivalswho portrayed him as aWashington insider andquestioned his judgment.
Gingrich, described bysome critics as rash andpetulant, kept his cool ashis Republican rivals criti-cized him for making up to$1.6 million from housinggiant Freddie Mac, for say-ing Palestinians were an“invented” people and for
his troubled marital past.Mitt Romney, the former
frontrunner and once thepresumed nominee, con-trasted his business experi-ence with Gingrich’s back-ground in Washington.
“We don’t need folkswho are lifetime Washing-ton people,” Romney said,adding his time as head of aprivate equity firm helpedhim understand how toturn around the economyand made him more elec-table than a Washingtonpolitician like Gingrich.
It was the first debatesince Gingrich roared pastRomney to take a big lead inpolls in the Republican bat-tle to pick a 2012 challengerto President Barack Obama,and the other candidateswere quick to attack.
U.S. Reps. Michele Bach-mann and Ron Paul criti-cized Gingrich as a hyp-ocrite who profited fromhis contacts and wound uptaking taxpayer moneywhen Freddie Mac wasbailed out by the federalgovernment. REUTERS

“Let’s be candid. The onlyreason you didn’t becomea career politician is youlost to Teddy Kennedy (inMassachusetts Senate elec-tion) in 1994.” - Gingrich to Romney“I spent my life in the pri-vate sector. I understandhow the economy worksand I believe that for Ameri-cans to say goodbye toPresident Obama and electa Republican, they need to
have confidence that theperson they’re electingknows how to make thiseconomy work again.” - Romney on his differences with Gingrich“You’re for individual man-dates. And you can get upand stand up and talkabout, ‘I’m against it now.’... But the record is veryclear, you and Newt werefor individual mandatesand that is the problem.”- Perry on Romney’s healthcare reform in Mass.

Break out the gum — it’s fi-nals time! If you find your-self in a pinch before an ex-am, chew on this: A studysuggests that popping astick of your favorite stickystuff five minutes beforetaking a test could actuallyhelp improve your score.
About 80 undergrad stu-dents participated in thestudy. St. Lawrence Univer-sity Assistant Professor ofPsychology Serge Onyperfound that gum-chewersdid better on their teststhan non-gum-chewers.Those who chewed experi-enced “mastication-inducedarousal,” leading to a boostin performance, but it only
lasted for about the first 20minutes of test-taking.
Prior research has shownthat physical activity canboost the student perform-ance, but this study showsthat even mild activity canhave a positive effect on thebrain.
Just make sure you spitout the gum before you sitdown for the test. The studyalso found that chewinggum could actually detractfrom performance due to “asharing of resources by cog-nitive and masticatoryprocesses.”
Here’s a quick, easy method to improve exam scores But just be sure to spit it out before taking the test

THEWORDMetro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip @dorothyatmetro [email protected]
While Demi Lovato whizzedby the press line at Z100’sJingle Ball Friday night —an annual New York Cityconcert featuring a numberof Top 40 acts — we werehappy to chat with RedFooof LMFAO, who’s partnerSkyBlu was noticeably ab-sent for the big show.
“SkyBlu hurt his back,”Foo told Metro before theconcert started. “He hassome herniated discs. He’sbeen performing for a whileinjured, because he’s a truechampion, but the doctor
said, ‘You gotta take abreak.’ That shuffle movewe do, when he does it, I al-ways tell him you need tobend [at the knee]. And thenwith the wiggle, you can’twiggle too hard, even ifthere’s sexy ladies in the au-
dience screaming at you —you gotta keep it confined.So we don’t know exactlywhat has happened, but wethink it’s [a combination of]the shuffle, the wiggle andthe ladies.”
But SkyBlu’s injury isn’tholding the group back forthe new year. On their to-dolist for 2012? “Films,” Foosays. “Taking the whole LM-FAO party rock lifestyle andputting it on the bigscreen.”

Aniston winsfor ‘Sexiest’ of all timeMen’s Health has dubbed Jen-nifer Aniston the SexiestWoman of All Time, but whileshe’s flattered by their decision,Aniston insists the titlewould’ve gone to someoneelse if she had any say in it. “It’sa tie between Brigitte Bardot
and Gloria Steinem,” she tellsthe magazine. “But if I had tochoose one, I’d say Gloriabecause, well, she’s the fullpackage. That’s sexy.” RaquelWelch, Marilyn Monroe, Brit-ney Spears and Madonnarounded out the top five.
A not so ‘Glee’-ful setTensions are reportedlyrunning high on the set of“Glee” as the cast of the hit mu-sical series is said to be at oddswith boss Ryan Murphy,
according to Us Weekly.“Things are really bad on set,” ashow source says. “The casttalks about how much theylove Ryan, but they have grownto hate him.” The maincomplaints have reportedlybeen about long workinghours and low pay, butMurphy’s behavior is a factor aswell. “He has bad mood swingsand can be really mean,” asource says. “The cast bas beenspeaking about bandingtogether against him, and Lea[Michele] is leading thecharge.” Michele’s rep deniesthere’s any tension.

Are there problems at William McKinley High School?
Abigail’s lipsare sealedAlso on the carpet beforeJingle Ball was “New Year’sEve” star Abigail Breslin,who looked all grown upin a Rag & Bone dress andsmoky eye makeup. Butthe 15-year-old movie starand budding songstress
(Jingle Ball was her firstappearance as a singer inthe band C.A.B.B.) tells usthat going through puber-ty in the public eye hasn’tbeen weird for her.
“When I come home, Ido the same things all myfriends do — clean myroom, feed the dog. Thereare definitely pressures,
but I think that keepingperspective is reallyimportant,” Breslin tellsMetro.
But that doesn’t meanshe doesn’t have hercringe-worthy moments.
“2008 was just a reallybig fashion mistake,” shesays, “with the armwarmers, the neon
and zebra-print Converse.”And since Abigail’s
character in “New Year’sEve” is hoping to get herfirst kiss on the big night,we wanted to know whather first kiss was like —but she wouldn’t spill.
“I’ll keep the offscreenkisses offscreen,” she tells

You can start to feelbetter by knowingyou are not alone.Test it out — go and
poll 10 people about theholiday season. My guess isthat at least five would ex-press that it’s all too much.Accept the notion that welive in a society that is driv-en by the dollar — and dur-ing the holiday season, thisis all magnified by big-boxretailers and the like. Thismaterialism is not an ex-pression of what the holi-days truly represent, nordo extravagance and ex-pensive gifts equal happi-ness. You have a choice:Participate in it or don’t.
In light of your recentmoney woes, be creativeand spare the craziness ofthe shopping malls. Cook adinner for a friend, prom-ise to do some yard workor housework for your par-ents, babysit a sibling’s kidor simply spend time witha long-lost friend. Themost memorable gift youcan give someone is an ex-perience, not a material
item. People remember ac-tivities and experienceslong after the fleeting ex-citement of a toy, article ofclothing or other materialgift.
As for the holidayparties, know thatyou actually havesome control over
what you participate in.Ask yourself: Do I have toattend every party? Areyou saying yes becauseyou feel pressured to doso? Don’t feel compelledto accept every invitation.Get comfortable saying“no” to what you don’twant to do and “yes” tothe things you truly be-lieve in. I guarantee you’llfeel less resentful andmuch calmer during theholidays.
Finally, examine yournegativity. Is there some-thing positive you canglean from the season? Bymaking small changes tohow you think, you’ll beable to make big changesin how you feel.
Tackle your holiday stressIt’s the most wonderful time of the year — but not for
everyone If you’re overwhelmed, you’re not alone
I’m finding myself really stressed out thisholiday season. Due to work issues, I hardly have any money this year to buy gifts and attendparties. I feelembarrassed about it. I just want to close myeyes and wake up onJan. 2. What can I do to feel better?

HAPPY HOLIDAY FLAVORS.Cinnamon Swirl
Unlike prime time fairy-tale-with-a-twist hits“Once Upon A Time” and“Grimm,” AmericanRepertory Theater’snewest play, “The SnowQueen,” is a throwback tosimpler storytelling.
“We’ve designed thestage like an old Victorianattic where children cometo hear this story everyyear,” says director AllegraLibonati. “There are sheets,mattresses, sticks andchairs — everything you’duse to build forts as a kid.”
The Hans Christian An-dersen tale is about twobest friends: Kai, who is kid-napped by an evil winterenchantress, and Gerda, thegirl who embarks on anepic adventure to rescuehim. There’s a castle and aprincess, flying reindeerand a devilish goblin. Manyof the characters are pup-pets, made with cardboardand papier-mache.
Libonati says that theshow is meant to empowerkids through their imagina-tion. The plot, though, is anallegory of growing up.
“What’s amazing aboutfairy tales is that they reallydeal with the inner work-ings of personal develop-ment,” the directorexplains. “They’re deepwith psychological issues.”
As a society, there’s nodoubt that we’re drawn tothe classic stories, repre-sented on TV, the big screenand modern literature.
“Why right now?” Libon-ati muses. “When thingsstart to crumble on thepractical scale, we look in-ward. On a dream level,fairy tales help us throughthe different trials of life.”
Toys in the atticWith ‘The Snow Queen,’ the A.R.T. brings the fairy tale back to the place
where it all began Think childhood forts made with blankets and chairs
The Snow Queenrepresents winter. Like thecharacter, the season “canbe exquisite and sparkling,but also dangerous andvengeful,” says Libonati.

Graynor goesBroadwayGraynor is currently star-ring in the Broadway play“Relatively Speaking,”which features three one-act plays. Alongside worksby Ethan Coen and ElaineMay is Woody Allen’s play,
“Honeymoon Motel,” inwhich Graynor stars.
“Woody Allen would bedoing Woody Allen to meand then I’d be doing itback to him and then I’drun on onstage,” she saysof her workingrelationship with the leg-endary director. “We’d
have notes after everyshow in the theater. Thatin and of itself is worth itsweight in gold. And, if Ihappen to find myself inone of his movies, theneven better.”
If there’s one girl whoknows her way around therole of brash party girl, it’s28-year-old Bostonian AriGraynor. As a severely ine-briated best pal in “Nickand Norah’s InfinitePlaylist” and more recentlyas a “friend with benefits”to Jonah Hill’s character in“The Sitter,” Graynor’s gotthe formula for chemicallyenhanced flake down to ascience. But this timearound, with “Pineapple Ex-press” director David Gor-don Green at the helm andHill carrying the film,Graynor got to improviseher way through what wasalready a solid script.
“When you’re workingwith someone like Jonah,who is so talented and sosmart and knows how toguide improvisations thatwork for a character and forthe story, it’s much easier toloosen up and play around,”she says. “That’s the luxuryof working with such tal-ented people — that youhave a guide ... that youknow it’s going to be guideddown the right path.There’s an ease to it.”
One thing that was per-haps not so easy was theopening scene of the film,in which Hill’s character is,ahem, servicing Graynor ina very personal way.
“So, that’s always an in-teresting day at work —when you find yourselfwith a new friend’s head be-tween your legs and 100people standing around.Like, really?” Graynorlaughs. “This is what I’m do-ing? I have some friendsthat are becoming doctorsor social workers. They’reteaching kids in the Bronxand here I am with my legsspread, fake-orgasming, justtrying to get through itwithout ruining the take.It’s one way to make a liv-ing.”

Playing the
party girlAri Graynor talks about ‘getting into the ring’ with Jonah Hill for
‘The Sitter’ What the most awkward day at work entails
“Both Ways OpenJaws,” the recently re-
leased album by The Dø,enters through a rare win-
dow in time where it willprobably make a lot of mu-sic publications’ “best of2011” lists. Then when writ-ers who don’t put it on thatlist see that some of theirpeers have chosen it, theFrench duo’s album will in-evitably make their “ones towatch in 2012” lists.
“Both Ways” is worthy ofboth. It instantly feels clas-sic and contemporary. Andlike the most exciting mu-sic, the album is rife withunexpected combinationsthat sometimes seem at op-posite ends of the spectrum— it is celebratory and it isagitated; it is majestic and itis raw; it is artsy and it is
poppy. Basically, it soundsthe way you’d expect LadyGaga to sound if you had on-ly ever seen photos of her.
There are free jazz freak-outs, stomping feet, woozyhorns, marimbas and softblankets of harmonies.What is most apparent isthat Olivia Merilahti andDan Levy are in love withsounds as well as songs.
“Usually, guitar is thefirst instrument I use forthe songwriting,” says Meri-lahti. “We think it’s reallyimportant to have a songthat also works with justguitar and vocals. ... But itusually gets eliminated bymore interesting soundsand there’s just no roomanymore for that guitar.”
This album is the secondfor The Dø. With their de-
but, “A Mouthful,” they be-came the first English-speak-ing French act to top thecharts in their homeland.
“I spoke Finnish andFrench when I started spea-king,” says Merilahti. “ThenI just listened to so manydifferent [English-speaking]singers and I really wantedto know what the songswere about, so I always readthe booklets very carefullyand wanted to learn thewords I didn’t know. That’show I built my vocabulary.”
She says the first songshe learned this way wasHole’s “Violet,” with itsopening line of, “And thesky was made of amethyst.”Merilahti makes similar po-etic leaps with her words.
“I really have a certaindistance with the lyrics and
they’re all so very intimate,”she says. “It’s very difficultfor me to describe.”
Upon further discussion,and being asked about the“Both Ways Open Jaws” ti-tle, Merilahti reveals more.
“It’s about feeling indanger from all parts, andit’s also like when you’rein danger, you start to pro-tect yourself, so it’s alsothe beginning of aggres-siveness,” she says. “I’mscared of a lot of things,and I think I’m starting tostruggle against that. …Dan is a very brave guy.When you’re exploringemotions and takingchances in the studio, it re-quires a lot of courage.”
Early ‘NewYear’s Eve’wins weekendbox officeAn early “New Year’s Eve”
led the weekend box officecharts as movie audiencesturned to the holidayromance over new comedy“The Sitter.”
“New Year’s Eve,” a ro-mantic comedy with astar-packed ensemble cast,rung up $13.7 million in
ticket sales at U.S. andCanadian theaters duringthe weekend, according tostudio estimates compiledby Reuters yesterday.
Adult comedy “The Sit-ter,” starring Jonah Hill asa reluctant babysitter,brought in $10 million and
landed in second place.Third place belonged tovampire romance movie“The Twilight Saga: Break-ing Dawn: Part 1” with$7.9 million.
“New Year’s Eve” wasproduced by New LineCinema, a unit of Time
Warner Inc.’s WarnerBros., the studio that dis-tributed the film. NewsCorp’s 20th Century Foxstudio released “TheSitter.” Privately held Sum-mit Entertainmentreleased “Breaking Dawn.”REUTERS
Sounds kinda likeThere are hints of influencesall over “Both Ways OpenJaws,” but instead of rattlingthem off as reference points,we gave Merilahti a chanceto confirm or deny them.
Did you listen to Stereolabgrowing up?No, not at all, and someonetold me about them a coupleof days ago. They said, “Youshould tour with Stereolab ifthey still played together,” orsomething. Maybe Dan has,but I’m not sure.Joanna Newsom?Yeah, I love her so much.How about Radiohead?It’s kind of a late referencefor both of us. ... Dan didn’tlisten to many songs whenhe was younger. He wasmore into instrumental and20th century classical musicor jazz, and I was always like,“Oh everyone’s listening toRadiohead,” so I wouldn’t. ...But it’s kind of impossible toignore.What was the first bandyou two connected with?Wu-Tang Clan. There was alot of hip-hop. Eminem wasalso one of them. And EllaFitzgerald!
Why dø they call
themselves that?
The Dø pronounce theirname like “dough” as in thefirst note of the solfègescale, as in do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do. But what is that littleslash through the o?
“We just wanted it to looklike a note, like when youwrite music in music theory,”says Merilahti. “It reallylooks like a musical symbol.”

At 83, Philip W. Jack-son has authoreddozens of books oneducation philoso-
phy, including the 1968classic, “Life In Classrooms,”still used by education ma-jors around the globe.“What Is Education?”marks his return to the ba-sic questions he ponderedhalf a century ago, begin-ning with his initial fascina-tion with seminal Americaneducation theorist, JohnDewey.
How has your philosophy ofeducation evolved since youfirst encountered JohnDewey?I read Dewey’s 1938 [‘WhatIs Education’] speech whenI was training to become ateacher. It puzzled me be-cause he was addressingprofessional educators, andhe implored them to con-sider that basic question. Istarted to look at Dewey’searly training as a philoso-pher. He was a Hegelian. SoI tried to take Hegel serious-ly, and I eventually becamemore of a Hegelian thanDewey. That’s what thisbook is about: my own ad-venture — amateurishly, Isuppose — to become a
philosopher. We hear a lot about the United States falling behindother countries in education.The comparisons that aremade — which place us un-favorably, according tosome, on the internationalyardstick — do so only insubjects that are very easilymeasurable. It’s in thosesubjects that the other na-tions are beating us, as itwere. We’re worried aboutthat. But we’ve been wor-ried about that recurrently.I feel that’s unfortunate. It’sshortsighted. Are we reallyhelping our students be-come more thoughtful, bet-ter civic citizens? Are wehelping them to becomewiser, rather than just fullof information? Those aremore interesting questions.
The new book ‘What Is Education?’ takes a philosophicallook at the classroom and the purpose of educating students

It’s a common workplacecomplaint in almost any in-dustry: “There’s no commu-nication around here.” Butas much as it might belamented in the cubicles,managers are frequentlybaffled by the gripe, says Di-anna Booher, a productivityand communications con-sultant and author of morethan 40 books, includingthe newly revised “Commu-nicate with Confidence!”
“When I talk to CEOs,they’re always puzzled.They say, ‘How can peoplesay that? We give out infor-mation all the time,’” saysBooher. “I can sum it up infour words: Information isnot communication.”
That said, don’t be thatguy whining about the lackof communication. Instead,
be proactive and raise thebar with these tips.
Tell the whole truth
It’s not enough to tell yourco-workers that you’ll hitthe deadline. You also needto mention that in order todo so, you had to alter theproject and rely on yourstrung-out intern to do sen-sitive research. “It has to bethe entire, current truth,”says Booher. “If you with-hold bad news, people go toother sources.”
Have discussionsEvaluate your conversationswith your co-workers: Isthere a back-and-forth andsome healthy debate on oc-casion? “If you feel likeeverybody agrees with you,something’s wrong,” saysBooher. “There’s a one-waycommunication systemthere, and that’s not whatyou want.”
Care, or at least getgood at pretending “It’s a cliche that peopledon’t care what you say,they have to know you careabout them when you say it— but it’s true,” saysBooher.
Actually having a dialogue with your co-workers is key.
What good communication really means
Why it’s worth it“Companies are far moreprofitable when there’sgood communication,”
says Booher. “Employeesare more productive andthere’s less turnover. Mostof the time, people don’t
leave companies becausethey don’t like the work— they leave because theydon’t like the culture.” MONICA WEYMOUTH

2Red-zone defense — As tough as itwas to watch the Patriots defenseon Sunday (they surrendered 463
yards of total offense), they continue toclamp down in the red zone. TheRedskins made five trips to the red zone,but only scored two touchdowns. On theSkins’ last drive of the game, Jerod Mayointercepted a botched catch at the five-yard line intended for Santana Moss.Game over.
3Got it done — It wasn’t the blowoutmany expected it would be(guilty!), but the Patriots left D.C.
with a win. They got outgained in totalyards, rushing yards and had 12 minutesless in time of possession. But at the endof the day it’s not how you do it, it’s thatit gets done. The Pats haven’t been inmany back-and-forth type games all sea-son, so it was good to seem them prevailand clamp down in the end.
What wentwrong ...
1No ‘O’ — For the sec-ond straight game, thePatriots offense put up
a goose egg in the fourthquarter, relying on theirsketchy defense to hold thelead. Threatening to scoreand put the game out ofreach, Tom Brady waspicked off in the end zone.
2Yards everywhere —Three differentRedskins wide
receivers amassed 80 receiv-ing yards, and threedifferent receivers found theend zone. On top of that,rookie running back RoyHelu rushed for 126 yards on27 carries. The Skins had 25first downs, three more thanthe Patriots did.
3Back problems — Forthe umpteenth time,the Patriots failed to
establish a running game.Danny Woodhead led allPatriots rushers with 41yards on eight carries. Ben-Jarvus Green-Ellis’s up-and-down season continued ashe ran for 19 yards on fivecarries. JIMMY TOSCANO
By the ‘Skin’of their teeth
Rob Gronkowski had two touchdown catches to set the all-time, single-season record for touchdown catches by a tight end.

Brady, O’Brien argue on sidelinesRarely do you see a first-year offensive coordinatorget into a heated argumentwith a star player, let alonea three-time Super Bowlchampion and two-timeNFL MVP.
But moments after Patri-ots quarterback Tom Brady
threw an interception inthe end zone with 6:30 leftin the game, leading byone touchdown, offensivecoordinator Bill O’Briengot into a heated exchangewith his star signal-caller.
O’Brien and Brady hadto be physically separated.
“I threw a pretty bad in-terception and he wasn’thappy about it,” Brady saidafter the game. “There areprobably a long line ofcoaches and players thatwere pretty pissed at meafter that, but Billy got tome first. He let me have it
and I deserved it.”Head coach Bill Be-
lichick, who was involvedin separating the two,wouldn’t comment on theincident after the game.His response to the me-dia’s question, “We’re 10-3.” MARK OSBORNE
