Accused of funneling to WikiLeaks a vast cache of diplomatic documents — as well as the video of an Apache helicopter machine-gunning civilians and a Reuters correspondent over Baghdad — Manning is a prisoner of conscience without a constituency. If a Republican were in the White House, at least some members of the Democratic establishment would express vague sympathy for Manning, condemning, no doubt, the leaks during wartime, but spotlighting the importance of his revelations. The activist base and what’s left of the gutsy media would embrace Manning. But with a tight election against the loathsome Mitt Romney and the right-wing Congressional Republican radicals in motion, discretion tempered with passive hypocrisy commands the order of the day. Manning’s military trial on more than 30 charges — including “aiding the enemy” — starts next February. Disturbingly, President Barack Obama has already declared Manning guilty. Trumping Obama, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee called for Manning’s execution, a theoretical possibility. If there are any soft and mushy ideas about the presumption of innocence during our perpetual war for perpetual peace, then the Manning case obliterates them. WikiLeaks was the star of the show that Manning triggered. Front-page stories drove home the growing sense that wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were ill conceived. This enraged Washington and made WikiLeaks impresario Julian Assange a marked man. With Swedish rape charges dogging him, Assange is trapped in a no-man’s-land. Those charges — reasonably seen as prosecution by proxy, stage-managed by the United States — may eventually result in Assange’s capture. In the meantime, Manning and Assange may share headlines, but it’s an unequal celebrity. Assange commands an image, a support network more potent than Manning’s. Young, gay, and from a dysfunctional family, Manning was a study in isolation even before his arrest. Other whistleblowers have become pop icons. Jeffrey Wigand, the conscience-racked tobacco executive who in 1996 turned state’s evidence on 60 Minutes to reveal the secrets of addictive cigarette manufacture, was able to substitute the scorn of former colleagues with the applause of anti-smoking advocates. Russell Crowe played Wigand in a movie based on his exposé. Twenty-five years earlier, Daniel Ellsberg set a standard for moral courage when he supplied first the New York Times, then the Washington Post, and finally the Boston Globe with the top-secret, government-commissioned Pentagon Papers. The papers documented the political deceit that marbled the Vietnam War and exposed the misjudgment that prolonged the wrenching conflict. Ellsberg became a hero to like-minded defense intellectuals who shared his convictions but lacked his guts. Wigand received death threats. And Ellsberg risked more than he may have realized: Ellsberg’s trial, on charges similar to Manning’s, ended in a mistrial after a plot to seriously injure or kill him surfaced amid the fallout from Watergate. Manning’s fate, however, was direct and brutal. The government tried to break him, detaining Manning, subjecting him to sleep depravation, and forcing him to remain naked, or nearly so, for 24 hours a day. In the words of law professors from Yale and Harvard, these conditions were “degrading and inhumane,” “illegal and immoral.” The horror of Manning’s torture is over, but his political isolation continues. This almost-forgotten man awaits trial for releasing over-classified documents that resulted in no deaths or injuries but did lay bare the folly of America’s National Security State. Remember him. The odds of a fair trial are slim. Manning needs friends. If there are any soft and mushy ideas about the presumption of innocence during our perpetual war, the Manning case obliterates them.

The CrImInal neTwOrk Smile! Your mug shot might be on Facebook Police dePartments might not asPire to be popular. But the Natick Police Department has racked up almost 10 times the number of “likes” on its Facebook page as police in next- door Framingham, a city twice Natick’s size. One difference is that the Natick PD Facebook page features a weekly compilation of mug shots of those arrested by its of- ficers. Viewers — and even at least one arrestee — have com- mented and shared the photos with their friends. Once confined to dusty folders in the bowels of police sta- tions, mug shots are now widely distributed by police departments and commercial out- lets. Natick police spokesman Lt. Brian Grassey says his de- partment noticed other police departments posting the shots, “and felt like it was a good way of showing the public what we do. There seems to be great public interest in it.” Those who find their mug shot floating around the Internet may be embarrassed, but they don‘t have much recourse, says Electron- ic Frontier Foundation staff attorney Hanni Fakhoury. “There’s nothing I can think of that is legally wrong about it,” he says. Civil liberty groups have been divided on the issue, with some voicing concern for privacy rights, but others saying that government records are protected free speech that should be made available. “We urge everyone to remember that police sometimes ar- rest people who did not deserve to be arrested,” says ACLU spokesman Chris Ott, who adds that “posting people’s pictures online is something that can stick with them for the rest of their lives.” Natick’s mug-shot posts include a disclaimer stating that the subjects are arrested for probable cause, not guilt. And Grassey says because the names are printed in the image they are less likely to be detected by search engines. (The Yarmouth Police Department includes the names of those arrested in its captions. The recent arrest of an 81-year-old for drunk driving sparked a lively discussion in the comments section.) Fakhoury says another potential downside to both govern- ment and commercial mug-shot sites is that they could “be used to ‘out’ people who are arrested as part of their participa- tion in political causes” — for instance, those picked up in the mass arrests during last year’s Occupy protests. In one recent case, a Natick arrestee used the comments sec- tion to point out that his charges of operating with a suspended license were dismissed in court the next day. As for the mug shot, he commented that it was “not a bad picture, huh?” He made it his Facebook profile image. _noah schaFFer 18 09.21.12 :: THEPHOENIX.cOm Baby Kale Net Wt. 11oz.

And he’s adding to that tally daily: fall is oyster prime time, so we caught up with Gregory at Kenmore’s Island Creek Oyster Bar, where he’s a co-owner, to get some pearls of wisdom. _cassandra landry on shucking “It’s easier than you think. With the right tool and the right know-how, opening an oyster should be as common- place as opening a bottle of wine or starting a fire. Always shuck cup side down. It’s going to be very difficult if you don’t.” on slurPing “Chew three times. You’re not going to release all of the flavors of the oyster unless you chew. If you just slurp it down, it’s all salt water. When you bite down, texturally it’s more interesting.” on garnishes “A purist would go with a squeeze of lemon,” he says. “Mignonette is number one. The acidity of the mignonette is a great complement and not a masker. I shy away from cocktail sauce.” other go-tos? Gregory suggests freshly grated horseradish or even a splash of vodka. on when oysters are at their Best “This time of year, definitely. As the oysters begin to go dormant in the wintertime and the water gets colder, what they exist on is glycogen, which is a glucose. So that sweetness comes through as the water chills. The oysters tend to be most full-flavored the last three or four months of the year.” on oyster etiquette “I always flip my shells face down on the ice, because I think it’s part of the fun of it. Say you’re trying five dif- ferent varieties: flipping the shells over highlights just how different each oyster is. The shells tell a great story. Cup down for me.” vErBATIM “Bloody hell. a sane and in-focus editorial about the latest @amanda- palmer hijinks.” — neil Gaiman, via Twitter, commending Daniel Brockman's post "Amanda Palmer: The Erotic Politician on the Crowd-Sourcing Campaign Trail," which defends Palmer's recent decision to ask "professional-ish" musicians to donate their talents to her tour. read the post at thephoenix.com/ onthedownload.

Brookline’s Speech Improvement Company is doing them one better — scrutinizing every gesture, pause, and facial tic, too.

BernSte in dbernstein@phx .com : : @dbernstein Talking poliTics this Thursday brings the first debate of Massachusetts’s blockbuster US Senate campaign. But the real showdown that will decide the contest is not be- tween incumbent Scott Brown and chal- lenger Elizabeth Warren, but between Brown and the Republican Party. Now that summer’s over and the sprint is on to the November 6 election, polls and most close observers agree on where the race stands: each candidate has a solid 45 percent of the vote tucked away, and they pretty much cancel each other out. Brown has a slight lead, but that should be negated by Warren’s expected turnout advantage. This leaves the race in the hands of the middle 10 percent, or some 300,000 persuadable voters statewide. Who are those 10 percent? Put simply: they like Brown, but they hate the GOP. They plan overwhelmingly to vote for Barack Obama over Mitt Romney — by a six-to-one margin, according to a recent poll from Kimball Political Consulting. And yet people close to the Brown campaign, and a lot of others, believe that in the Senate race, people will ultimately vote the person, not the party. Frankly, most Democratic insiders used to think so, too. That’s why, even with the expected outpouring of Democratic voters for the presidential election, the state’s A-list Democrats, including all of its US House members, statewide and county officeholders, and state senators, declined to enter the race. But when Warren jumped in, and immediately shot up in the polls and raised unthinkable sums from New this week at mapoliwithaNimals.tumblr.com: state rep. Jennifer benson with cows, Fitchburg mayor lisa wong with a fish, and us senator scott brown with a kitten. progressives nationwide, expectations skyrocketed. As a result, when Brown opened up his slim lead this summer, it unleashed a torrent of criticism, locally and in national publications, about the Warren campaign. Some of it seems justified: her ads have been unmemorable, she has been far too sheltered, and she has done little damage to Brown’s reputation as a nice guy and an independent politician. But it’s also a little unfair. A year ago, any Democrat in the state would have been thrilled at the prospect of a candidate entering the final stretch of the campaign in a virtual dead heat with Brown, with poll numbers equal to his, and the resources to match him ad for ad. “I really lIke you, but…” So now it comes down to those few, Obama-supporting, Brown-liking voters, and whether a majority of them will vote for Brown, or against the GOP. As it happens, Warren campaign manager Mindy Myers ran a campaign in very similar circumstances six years ago, and just a little way down Route I-95. In Rhode Island’s 2006 Senate race, Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse narrowly defeated incumbent Republican Lincoln Chafee, by emphasizing that with George Bush in the White House and a then- Republican majority in the US House, liberal voters needed to prevent a matching Republican majority in the US Senate. It worked so well, one of Chafee’s final TV ads featured him speaking directly to the camera, acknowledging that “All the time, people tell me, ‘Linc, I really like you, but I have to send Bush a message.’” Chafee countered by stressing his independence — just as Brown is doing now. At this point in that race, the polls showed an even split. In the end, Whitehouse won with 53 percent of the vote. The task might be a little tougher for Warren, but there’s no reason to think it can’t be done.

I’ve litigated against the military- surveillance-censorship axis of repression; battled puritans, police, and drug warriors; and generally campaigned on behalf of citizens’ rights. Once, I believed in the inevitable progress of freedom and decency, but things haven’t worked out that way. We’ve won a few battles: gays entered the mainstream, racial minorities took a place at the table, police brutality is less pervasive, or at least more exposed (due, perhaps, more to ubiquitous cellphone cameras than legal reform).  But on balance, my generation has made a mess. When current events can be best understood by watch- ing Comedy Central, we’re in trouble. This campaign season, I find myself reluctant to vote for either major party. I reject the Repub- licans’ aggressive effort to intimidate the world and wreck civil liberties in a “war on terror,” along with their destruction of the middle class by cater- ing to the moguls. I similarly reject the Democrats’ effort to intimidate the world and wreck civil liberties in the name of a “war on terror,” and their willingness to betray the middle class by favoring a different set of interest groups. So I registered Republican and voted for libertarian Ron Paul. I wanted to send a mes- sage that the “military-industrial complex” was threatening not only the stability of our economy, but also the fabric of our liberties. Paul’s one drawback is his opposition to a floor beneath which citizens would not be allowed to fall. Paul’s advocacy, however, for a smaller cen- tral government would allow states to resume that obligation. But when the Republican Party robbed Paul of many of his elected convention delegates, I despaired. The drawbacks of the two major parties make them unacceptable choices for a voter who sup- ports liberty but wants to assure all a fair oppor- tunity to survive the competition. The Democrats betray liberty by blam- ing speech for many social ills, banning “hate The draw- backs of the two major parties make them unacceptable choices for a voter who supports liberty. >> freedom on p 28 26 09.21.12 :: THEPHOENIX.cOm/NEWS office of the state treasurer and receiver general - unclaimed property division This year.

They talk of amending the First Amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United opinion. Democrats’ unwavering support of public-sector (especially teachers’) unions has wrecked mu- nicipal budgets and public education. They sup- port an increased federal role in health care, even though the federal bureaucracy has become de- structively remote and inefficient. Indeed, they support enhanced federal power in all spheres, which has been largely responsible for the cre- ation of a dangerous national security and pros- ecutorial state — also favored by Republicans. Republicans tout economic liberty but attack abortion, gay marriage, sexually explicit materi- als, and those who suffer economic misfortunes. They give lip service to free enterprise and cater to plutocrats’ thirst for government’s economic favors (banks got bailed out during the recent economic crisis, but not middle-class families mortgaged to the hilt), while abandoning the lower and middle classes. And tacit bipartisan agreement has enabled the Department of Justice, once a protector of civil liberties, to accumulate power to imprison virtually any citizen, since no one can avoid arguably violating some vague federal statute. And despite Republicans’ howls to the contrary, both parties are oblivious to the disastrous con- sequences of endemic overspending, as long as budgets reward their friends. We need a political realignment, producing a party or coalition that protects liberty, reins in the national security state, educates the young, bal- ances the budget, and erects a floor beneath which citizens cannot fall. Little did I earlier know that the parties of both left and right would turn out to be the problem rather than the solution.

Topics may include birdwatch- ing, popular culture, lyric flights of fancy, undisguised product placement, Heineken, and worryingly specific insults toward the reader. Mostly music, though. beef toward fellow novelist David Foster Wallace, who is not alive. Some called Ellis unsporting for engaging a recently deceased colleague in a one-sided public slapfight, while others have pointed out that Wallace gave it, during his lifetime, as good as he got it. However, by taking sides in the matter, we risk losing sight of the true issue at hand: who cares, books are for nerds. But! Some books actually have great social merit. FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, for example, is an important work: it makes your dear old mom want someone to beat her on the bottom with a belt, and that is hilarious. The book stayed in headlines this week with a tantalizing rumor: immacu- late cutie-pie Ryan Gosling may be under consideration to play the Main Butt Slappy Dude in the film adaptation. Or, maybe the source of the rumor — the author’s husband — was just wishing aloud. Fan reaction to the prospect has been positive, and I agree with that senti- ment. Gosling is a fine actor, and the part demands one — I only made it through about 30 pages of the book, but the Main Spank Bro would smile mysteriously and/or make inscrutable facial expres- sions roughly 50 times per page, so the actor in the role would need the ability to rapidly twitch and contort his face like a glitched-out video game. (I also hope they can find an actress who can blush, then flush, then blush again within the span of half a page.) That’s enough about book stuff — in fact, let’s forget about books forever, because the new season of Showtime’s GIGOlOS has arrived! If you’re not caught up, get your ass familiar: this is the Breaking Bad of grody medium-core semi-scripted male-prostitute reality erotica. It was a dramatic off-season for the plucky ’tutes, with Clark Kent–wholesome Jimmy arrested on charges of beating his girlfriend — he’s off the new sea- son, naturally, with some convenient fictional excuse. In his place shall be Ash, a pony-maned Miami hunk with, according to their pimp, an “Eastern medicine” vibe. Can an aging Brace compete with this smoldering mystic Fabio? Yes, because Brace fucking rules (and vice versa) — I predict our craggy surf Adonis shall take on all comers (and vice versa). Even with the season just starting, the real world is already encroaching: Steven, the sappy doofus, was arrested just days after the premiere for “open and gross lewdness” — and if that’s a crime, you might as well shut down the whole show. Watch it while you can.

Spotlight :: politicS The DNC on LSD Our reporter trekked down to Charlotte to cover the DNC, and — as if the frenzied Obama lovefest weren’t trippy enough — he decided to do it on five hits of acid. Here’s his mind-altering dispatch from the donkey show. By Chris Faraone cfaraone@phx .com : : @fara1 i never thought I’d find myself at two o’clock in the morning, hanging solo on a corner in uptown Charlotte, having two kind older black women telling me to stop preaching about war and the prison-industrial complex. Yet there I was, one block from the Charlotte Convention Center, hailing a taxi for two 60-something peaches who were up from Georgia and had missed the shuttle back to their motel. They were right about two things: 1) I had no business pontificating to either of them, particularly in the middle of Barack Obama Blissfest; and 2) my main concern should have been getting my own sweet little ass home. I was annihilated. How did I get there? And why was I holding a poster of Tupac, Bob Marley, and the president riding stallions into the sunset? >> DnC on LsD on p 34 po s t e r i m a g e : “ f r e e d o m r id e r s ” b y K o l o n g i b r a t h w a it e 32 09.21.12 :: THEPHOENIX.cOm/NEws After two weeks of covering the protests outside these political fiestas without writing about what’s popping inside the actual hall — in Tampa at the Republican National Convention, or in Charlotte at its Democratic counterpart — for my last night on the job, my editors thought it was a good idea to enter among the hysterical partisan masses. [No, we did not. — Ed.] That sounded fine to me, so I began to chew through some acid that I had left over from the RNC. Years ago, a writer friend explained how he always found that the best way to glimpse a con- servative’s soul, or lack thereof, is with a noggin full of LSD. He didn’t mention what I might find around comparably obsessed lefties, though, so I set out to do some soul-searching of my own. ONE HIT I swallowed the first pop on my way to the bus stop near my crash pad in West Charlotte. All week, I stayed with an amazingly cool host who rented me a room in his apartment, in one of the few gentrified buildings in the scruff of what more than a few locals told me is the city’s foulest pocket. If we’re talking experience points, I could not have picked a better spot. Instead of riding shuttles with delegates, or cabs with my damn self, I rolled back and forth to the convention zone on public transportation with real North Carolinians, most of whom wanted nothing to do with me, my press pass, my lame questions, or the DNC. Thinking back, I’m pretty sure that it was street vendor Don Winslow from Louisiana who activated my buzz; he was outside the convention center leaning through his trademark banger, “The Obama Shuffle,” which he’d written, recorded, and was selling copies of. I hear it synchs up perfectly with The Wizard of Oz if you’re tripping hard enough. I wasn’t — not yet, at least — but was certainly thrown deeper by the rhinestone Obama merch being slung right next to Winslow, the lot of which amounted to more bedazzled junk than Fran Drescher keeps in her dildo drawer.

Even the nuttiest Jesus freaks weren’t bothering me, which I took as a divine cue to level up with a second dose. Since she’s already written about her throwback teen hippie experience at the DNC, I suppose that it’s alright to say I stomached hit number two with Rebecca Schoenkopf of Wonkette — the only person in Charlotte who was brave enough to indulge along with me. Together, we kicked over to the regularly scheduled Politico bash, where I’d been sipping complimentary beverages and enjoying good conversation all week. The party was sweet down to the passed appetizers, but I ultimately got turned off by the glowing “America’s Natural Gas” ad on the news desk. I could care less about the shameless placement — we all need to keep this journalism thing going somehow — but I could only ogle gasbags in front of gas ads for so long. . . . THREE HITS We show up outside the hall, and there’s the biggest pile of umbrellas that I’d ever seen. Apparently there’s an umbrella bomber on the loose, because it was the same thing at the RNC — they wouldn’t let you in with one. Despite my gut instinct to frolic in them like Scrooge McRomney in a pool full of bullion, I got in line for the metal detector instead. This was it — after two weeks on the road, I was finally about to report from the floor. The prospect was exciting, or at least it was until the fire marshal shut shit down with just two people left in front of me. I waited for five minutes, then decided to split << DnC on LsD from p 34 Spotlight :: politicS After making a slight scene at the gate, I assembled a team of conven- tion rejects and headed to a nearby party hosted by the United Nations. >> DnC on LsD on p 38 36 09.21.12 :: THEPHOENIX.cOm/NEws Allow us to introduce Knob creeK rye to boston! on tuesday August 28th Knob creek Gathered Five of boston’s top Mixologists to develop a signature Knob creek rye cocktail for the 2012 Boston CoCktail summit, oCtoBer 4–6 through an esteemed panel of judges the winning cocktail was decided and we are pleased to invite you to try: Arley Howard’s Rhuby Rye Sour Did the Judges Get it Right?

After making a slight scene at the gate — heckling other journos who were shut out — I assembled a small but fierce ad-hoc team of convention rejects and headed to a nearby party hosted by the good folks from the United Nations. Free drinks were poured, beer cans were cracked, and after watching Sandra Fluke deliver the only speech of the week that packed not a bit of bullshit, I popped another blotter and ran for the door. We would have stayed, but the UN party was wrapping for the night, and I thought that it was time to spread my wings a little anyway. . . . FOUR HITS It took four hits of acid and a spot in front of the MSNBC stage for me to sort of buy into the donkey show. For a few scattered moments, during speeches by Elizabeth Warren and then Bill Clinton, I finally understood the official DNC motto for the week: “Americans Coming Together.” I was covered in it. Amazingly, I barely even puked as all of the imbeciles around me — apparently complicit with Obama’s failure to neuter health-care profit-mongers — applauded Bubba’s half-sense about “donut holes,” as if they had a clue what he was singing about. In the least, I was pleased to be enjoying the live Chris Matthews taping. In the land of Democrats, I’ve always considered him to be the one-eyed king. I had watched Matthews closely in Tampa as well, including during Paul Ryan’s speech, when he gorged himself on French fries and a warm Italian sub, the melted mozzarella stretching from his wedge to his chatter box like gum under a shoe. Between his unmatched political knowledge and status as an unapologetic southpaw, Matthews was already my favorite pundit — even before the sandwich incident.

None of this, of course, means that I completely let my guard down. I’m engineered to hate crowds, and that goes double for blind patriots, and triple for when I’m spun. I’ll also blame the MSNBC camerawork; in the heat of Clinton’s slam dunk, as he spit his line about how broken clocks are right twice a day, some slick producer flashed to the Democratic Party’s most severely damaged timepiece of them all: Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Like that, I snapped right out of it, screamed something about the wars on drugs and in the Middle East, and proceeded to polish off my stash. . . . FIVE HITS Actually, it was just four-and-a-half hits. I split my last notch with a wasted dude from California who was shooting a reality show about some North Carolina family with “the craziest redneck hotdog shop you ever heard of.” The two of us had an enlightening conversation, as I paid forward my writer friend’s knowledge about how important it is to eat LSD at these functions. There’s a metaphor to all this trippy nonsense, I told him, which is that attending the DNC — even not on hallucinogens — is actually a lot like being on acid. You’re at the center of the universe, rendered completely unable to consider the perspective of those outside your bubble. From there, I slugged some more drinks, bought an artist-autographed poster of Obama and Tupac on horseback, and headed back to the apartment I was crashing at in West Charlotte. The effects of the high were waning, though the décor at my crash pad — old Calvin Klein posters of diesel dudes with bulging dicks — was a little strange. I never thought I’d end up on the tail end of a political bender, staring at giant cocks and shaved chests. But then again, I also never thought that I’d find myself at two o’clock in the morning, hanging solo on a corner in uptown Charlotte, having two kind older black women telling me to stop preaching about war and the prison- industrial complex.

THEPHOENIX.cOm :: 09.21.12 83 food & drink :: dining Mofongo Tradicional de PlaTano aT VejiganTes By MC Sl iM JB @mc slimjb The South End is one of Boston’s great dining destinations, but its luster has been dimmed in recent years by a series of closings highlighted by splashy failures like Ginger Park and Rocca. A revival now appears to be in the offing, with new entrants Kitchen and Yakitori Zai already humming and Cinquecento, BoMa, and Estelle’s on the way. Among the lesser- noted passings was humble South Ameri- can and Mexican standby Don Ricardo’s. Its successor, Puerto Rican newcomer Vejigantes, has attracted little fanfare, perhaps because it sits in Villa Victoria, an affordable-housing development. That obscurity, we predict, is about to end. For starters, Vejigantes’ décor is a significant upgrade over the homely ambiance of its predecessor, with walls painted in bright pastels, colorfully upholstered banquettes, an attractive patio, and various images of its namesake, a many-horned, fantastical Carnaval creature. Service now reflects the polish one expects from the owners of Roxbury’s Merengue, the sleekest Dominican restaurant in town. The short wine list is a slight step up, still dominated by New World wines at under $35 a bottle and $8 a glass, but adds Italian sweet wines ($7/glass, $35/bottle) and swish Champagnes ($65–$90/bottle). There are 10 bottled beers ($5) and some sweet after- dinner cordials ($8). Cocktails include a creditable mojito ($9) and delicious frozen daiquiri variants ($8) in flavors like passion fruit, banana, guava, and mango, made by adding rum to the tall fruit smoothies that are batidos ($4). But the main draw is the food, a sophisticated take on Puerto Rican cuisine. Starters include alcapurrias ($5), fritters of minced beef in a plantain/ taro batter fried to Brazil-nut brown. Empanada-like pastelillos ($4) encase minced chicken, beef, or crabmeat in crisp, lard-shortened dough. Bacalaítos fritos ($5) deliver the briny snap of salt cod in the shape of dollar pancakes, with only a whisper of a fried-batter coating. Pinchos de pollo ($5) offer moist, grilled- breast kabobs in barbecue sauce, prettily topped with microgreens. Entrees include grilled dishes like bistec a la jardinera ($12), marinated skirt steak grilled medium-well and topped with sautéed onions and peppers; colorful and delicious, it’s even better with a hit of the oily, habanero- fired house hot sauce. Seafood dishes originating from Boquerón, Puerto Rico, include ferociously good camarones al ajillo ($18), seven fat shrimp cooked in about a head’s worth of minced garlic in oil. Also particularly fine are the accompanying sides, like good white rice served with excellent soupy pinto beans, or the outstanding yellow rice seasoned beautifully with a complex sofrito and dotted with pigeon peas, ham, and pork. Paellas are built on rice tinted a bright orange that betokens more annatto than saffron, which leaves the paella valenciana with chicken and sausage ($22) feeling a bit mild; the lobster, clams, shrimp, and squid in the paella marinera ($25) yield a richer flavor. Both versions make a bigger impact in the two-person “artesenal” presentation ($42 and $45), served in a whimsical, edible clamshell-shaped container made of fried plantains. Slightly less dramatic-looking but perhaps more emblematic of traditional Puerto Rican cooking is the mofongo tradicional de plátano ($8), a flat-topped cone of mashed and fried green plantains stuffed with meat and served with chicken broth. This hearty dish, with its mild, lightly crisped exterior, is like a present you tear open to reveal a steaming, garlic- fragrant heap of chicken or chicharrón: fried pork cracklings. A forkful of plantains and crisp/chewy, garlicky pork, dipped in broth, might make your Puerto Rican friends misty-eyed with nostalgia. But even Anglos will get the homey appeal of this terrific dish, which might stand more broadly for what Vejigantes has achieved here: an unprepossessing exterior with a lovely, delicious surprise inside. a forkful might make your Puerto rican friends misty-eyed with nostalgia.

Wine glasses, dishware samples, and chairs coated in a soft sheen of sawdust are littered throughout the space that will magically turn into Gilson’s “clean slate,” as he calls it — Puritan & Co. — in just a few weeks. It’s a fitting name for the first restaurant concept from the former Garden at the Cellar chef and pop-up impresario. A century ago, the property housed Puritan Cake Co.; now Gilson is aiming for modern, elevated takes on tra- ditionally simple New England dishes. And don’t knock the tightly wound and buckled Puritans of his heritage (his family has been here since the 17th century). “The Puritans just wanted to pioneer a new world, and a new style,” he says. “That’s really what we’re trying to do.” Among the New England bounty to be had, keep an eye out for stuffed quahog, com- posed charcuterie plates, and a fully stocked oyster bar. From the South End to Somerville, here are five hotly anticipated restaurant openings that are already whetting our appetites.

Word is Crabb has tossed the à la carte menu, striking out with a few prix-fixe op- tions instead: three courses for the gentle-hearted patrons and five or eight courses for the culinarily fero- cious. The whole squid with black chickpeas should be nothing less than swoon-worthy. BRONWyN, UNION SQUARE Bronwyn, named for chef Tim Wiechmann’s wife (who co-owns and runs T.W. Food), has all of Union Square — hell, along with the rest of the city — trem- bling in anticipation of the best-sounding sausage tasting menus this side of the Atlantic. Good luck trying to decide what to go for; between the honey-lavender boudin blanc and the beef sauerbraten with ginger- bread sauce, we’re already throw- ing in the towel. CENTRE STREET SANCTUARy, JAMAICA PlAIN Maybe it’s our sacrilegious streak, but we can’t wait for this “neighborhood-friendly American bistro” to hit the former home of the Blessed Sacra- ment campus. The 80-seat spot is capital- izing on its storied site: expect furniture built from repurposed pews and a cozy bar with stained-glass windows. Divided into “In the Be- ginning” (appetizers), “Selections” (entrees), “Creations” (specials), and “Temptations” (desserts), the menu is designed with various dietary needs in mind — so you can have your herb-roasted chicken with customized sauces and sides. Gluten- and lactose-challenged brethren, rejoice!

The name (pronounced cheen-kway-chen-toe — thanks, MC Slim) is Italian for “500,” a nod to its location.

Appearing to us like a backlit god in a ravaged culinary landscape, rife with the smell of Batali’s Crocs and pretentious baristas, Ruth Bourdain arose from the Interwebz two years ago as an amalgam of former Gourmet edi- tor (and flowery tweeter) Ruth Reichl and chef- cum-travel guide with a fondness for a well-placed cuss Anthony Bourdain. A James Beard Award for humor writing and more than 57,000 followers later, the bastard/bastardess’s true identity remains a secret.

Subjects that demand mention include, but are not limited to, a survival manual for the vegan apocalypse, a guide to the art of getting gastrostoned (read: bong hits of mozzarella and tangerine zest), and, of course, @RuthBourdain’s bread and butter — plenty of digs at Guy Fieri. _Cassandra Landry need som e comfor t?

SAtuRDAY 22 2ND ANNUAL SUFFOLK DOWNS FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL You’d think we’d be over the food-truck trend around here, but we’ve got news for you: it ain’t never gonna happen. The hardest part of our adoration of the mobile meal has always been staging an impeccably timed run-in, which is why we clear our schedules when all the best trucks con- vene on the same ground. Dare we say food-truck fests are better than Christmas? MONDAY 24 TIME TRAVEL DINNER So here’s the pitch: fake out your taste buds with a dinner that jumps around in time (and throughout the rooms of a palatial manor) — and if you make it to the end of the night, you snag free tickets to Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s new time-travel flick, Looper. Any protests? Alden Castle’s first open-to-the-public event will feature dueling takes on dishes popular both today and 30 years ago — think dev- iled eggs, beef Wellington, and coconut cake, updated. 92 09.21.12 :: THEPHOENIX.COM/FOOD Whiskey a Go Go A musical guide to surviving your first tasting By L i za Weisstuch Food & drink :: liquid Whiskey has inspired — and inebriated — musicians across eras and genres. (See: the centuries-old “Whiskey in the Jar,” Willie Nelson’s “Whiskey River,” the Pogues’ “Streams of Whiskey,” and Lynyrd’s Skynyrd’s “Whiskey Rock-A-Roller.”) And Whisky Live sounds like a great name for a country-hopping, amp-shredding con- cert tour. But it’s actually an epic tasting produced by Whisky magazine (full disclosure: I’m the American contribut- ing editor). It does, however, travel to more than a dozen cities worldwide, now including Boston, where it makes its debut on September 22. And it boasts a killer lineup: 150-plus varieties ready for the tasting. Diving headlong into such an event is risky. It’s tough to learn the differences among the many styles without trying them side by side — but taste too many, and you may not absorb anything but the ethanol content. So it’s important to walk in with a few maxims in mind. Music is a powerful memory aid, so here’s a mixtape we’ll call “The Whiskey Tasting Survival Guide.” Each song offers a teaching moment. Let the education begin. Guns n’ Roses, “PAtience” Whiskey is defined as any drink distilled from fermented grain mash and aged in wood barrels. Scotches are made from malted barley; bourbon from at least 51 percent corn; rye from at least 51 percent rye. There’s also Irish, Tennessee, and Japanese whiskey. Each has its own history, production methods, and spelling preferences (the “e” is optional). There’s a learning curve. the Jesus And MARy chAin, “Just Like honey” If you think all Scotches are smoky peat bombs, you might as well believe that all cheese is stinky cheese. An overwhelming majority of Scotches have notes that are floral, fruity, buttery, nutty, or, yes, like honey. diGAbLe PLAnets, “WheRe i’M FRoM” Wine doesn’t have a monopoly on matters of terroir. With whiskey, it’s about more than the soil, though. A distillery’s landscape is evident in many single-malt Scotches — so called because they come from just a single distillery. (Blended Scotches, like Johnny Walker, involve blending dozens of single malts.) When you taste a Scotch produced on the island of Islay, for instance, pay attention for salty notes in the aroma. That’s evidence that the whisky spent a decade or more aging in a wood barrel in a warehouse where the air is permeated with sea spray. Xtc, “senses WoRkinG oveR- tiMe” There are 10,000 taste buds in the human mouth. The human nose has five million cells that are sensitive to odors. Taste is not necessarily the sum of a spirit’s parts; it’s only one part. So take your time — breathe the aromas, note the mouthfeel (silky? rich? jag- ged?), and observe the color. the beAtLes, “think FoR youRseLF” Taste and smell are highly subjective. If someone pours you a bourbon and tells you there are milk-chocolate notes in the nose, and you detect dark chocolate — or coffee — you’re not wrong. deeP PuRPLe, “sMoke on the WAteR” Adding water to a Scotch is not an indication of a drinker’s frailty, greenness, or risk aversion. Nerd alert: it’s science. The addition of a few drops of water disrupts the alcohol’s molecular structure and cracks open esters, compounds that contain aromas and flavors. Scots call it “releasing the serpent,” but anyone not inclined to medieval reference might do well to think of it like foreplay. ice cube, “check yo seLF” If you go into the event equipped with nothing more than two words to guide you, they should be these: pace yourself.

What this street fair does have in common with a N’awlins party is that it draws a hell of a crowd — Allston residents and visitors alike — who come to day-drink, browse cool locally-made art and clothing, listen to live music, and get rowdy with their neighbors all day long. Allston :: noon–6 pm :: free :: allstonvillagestreetfair.com Tennessee Williams showed up in Provincetown around 1940, and in some ways never left. His spirit will be unavoidably present this weekend, during the PROVINCETOWN TENNESSEE WILLIAMS THEATER FESTIVAL, which crams a dozen new shows and more than half a dozen parties into four days.

Well, it’s a really nice bar in Jamaica Plain. It’s definitely less of a JP bar, and by that, I mean it’s not full of dogs. I don’t like bars that are full of animals. Puppies are cute, though. Yeah, dogs are fine. I don’t hate dogs, but I don’t want to go to a bar and have a dog sniffing my leg while I’m trying to drink. I get that maybe that’s not a popular opinion in Jamaica Plain — but leave the dogs at home. is haggis worth the hype? I don’t know. I’m a vegetarian. They make it here. I’m told it’s very good. It’s like a sheep’s stomach full of oats and meat. Your thoughts on dumpster diving? It’s not for me. I feel like freeganism often takes things away from the homeless, and that’s not necessarily cool. There’s a difference between a homeless guy going into the trash can at Whole Foods and a college kid who has an iPhone taking stuff out of the trash can. It’s like, don’t buy the iPhone. Get some groceries. What if you’ve got a hard-on for an iPhone?

But he also “saw all this as a disappearing world that I wanted to preserve on film,” the Bostonian wrote in 2003. The black-and-white shots in his show “Honky Tonk” suggest he was partly right, partly wrong. Here are stars: Dolly Parton, with her big hair and bigger bosom, in a poufy dress backstage at Boston’s Symphony Hall in 1972. She’d just begun to score solo hits, and she looks like a doe in the headlights. Here is Waylon Jennings with a cigarette in his mouth and a guitar in his hand, backstage in Cambridge in 1975, looking like the kind of guy who could hang out with the Devil at the crossroads. Here is a smoldering Jerry Lee Lewis with his slicked- back wavy hair, sitting at a piano at Boston’s Ramada Inn in 1976, lighting a cigar. But Horenstein also photographs the audience — a fellow perched on a Nashville barstool playing a harmonica, a weathered man in a cowboy hat lighting “Honky tonk” :: Carroll and Sons gallery :: 450 Harrison Ave, Boston :: through october 20>> PhotograPhy bitner’s bits Since 2007, Rhona Bitner has traveled across the country photographing the hallowed halls of rock and roll — from drums and mics set up in the Electric Lady Studios that Jimi Hendrix built in New York to LA’s Whisky A Go Go, where the Doors were once the house band. The New York– and Paris- based photographer’s “Images from the Series ‘Listen’ ” fea- tures seven of the more than 200 venues she’s documented. She photographs the joints empty, deadpan style. The stage at Randy’s Rodeo in San Antonio is just one more dull shithole, but here’s where the Sex Pistols played their infa- mous 1978 concert. Sid Vicious called the disagreeable crowd of Texans “faggots” and then bashed those who objected with his bass guitar. In other words, the photos are okay, but the backstories are platinum. One photo stands out: Detroit’s Grande Ballroom (below). You may or may not know that this was where the MC5 and Stooges defined Mo- tor City rock. Once an ornate dancehall, the site has a fallen-in ceiling and a floor in shambles. Detroit is sick of the rest of us focusing on the bad news, but how can you not be astonished by such magnifi- cent ruins? _gC “Images from the serIes ‘LIsten’ ” Howard yezerski Gallery, 460 Harrison Ave, Boston through october 23 arts & nightlife :: visual art CheCk out More iMages froM “honky tonk” At thePhoenix.com a cigarette in the Hillbilly Ranch’s darkness, people crowding around the tour bus of Ernest Tubb among the sunny trees of the Lone Star Ranch. It’s hard knocks and booze, sin and redemption and gritty good times. The transition Horenstein witnessed was the fading of this world — many of the bars shuttered and the country-music parks dried up, while the Grand Ole Opry grew bigger, more manicured. But country music didn’t disappear. Alongside Bob Dylan, James Taylor, and the hippie folk and blues revival, it got prettied up and went mainstream. Hee Haw debuted on TV in 1969. By 1977, Parton was on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson joking about her, ahem, healthy body. Over the past decade, country has dominated American Idol and claimed to be the most patriotic music going. But there was a tradeoff, as Horenstein tells me, “more and more generic.” Old photos are always interesting as time capsules. So although Horenstein’s artistry is quite good, his pictures get an extra boost from being three decades old, and from nostalgia for a time when country meant smaller, more local, more down-home. _greg Cook Read Greg Cook’s blog at gregcookland.com/journal.

I called Díaz up to ask if the city is as bad as all that. (Answer: kind of.) I noticed some interviewers start by asking you something offen- sive. They always start off saying, “Okay, how did your Dominican-ness/black- ness/whatever affect your writing?” And I’m like, “And how did your whiteness affect your writing?” I read one jerk arguing that no Dominican guy could have Yunior’s vocabulary. This is the same guy who will go out and watch Thor. For certain people, a Norse god is more believable than a character like Yunior. It’s amazing. I was in Vejigantes, in the South End, what, three days ago? I heard these women, Salva- dorean and African American — these were around-the-way girls, not girls who would immediately bust out, “I’m from Harvard” — they were debating this current JUNOT DÍAZ :: MIT Stata Center, MIT, 32 Vassar St, Cambridge :: September 27 :: 7:30 pm :: free :: shass.mit.edu/calendar>> wave of feminism and if you can describe it as a wave. That’s beautiful. I spend all my time listening. You know, New York has a reputation for being loud, but Boston has no indoor voice. Love it. Boston comes off pretty racist in This Is How You Lose Her. Really? Like there’s no racism in New Jersey? There’s no racism in the Dominican Repub- lic? People forget I’ve spent the last three books cracking Santo Domingo and New Jersey over my knee. I was so sad when I finished the book. It’s like there’s almost no hope for Yunior there. Well, I think it’s a good sign that one can be powerfully moved by art. Or maybe the core of utopian change comes out of moments like this one. I mean, Jesus, the fact that we can be moved by just some scratching on paper, and feel our own heart at the end of a small book — I don’t know, I don’t know anything more hopeful than that. _S.i. roSenbaum more Ju not on racis m, writing , and romanc e Read the Rest of this i nteRview online a t thephoe nix .com p h o t o b y N iN a S u b iN 114 09.21.12 :: THEPHOENIX.COM/ArTS Bo�on Early Music Fe�ival OrfeoMONTEVERDI’S “Musically impeccable.” —The Boston Globe Chamber Opera Series presents Paul O’Dette & Stephen Stubbs, Musical Directors Gilbert Blin, Stage Director Sat, November 24 at 8pm | Sun, November 25 at 3pm New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall, 30 Gainsborough Street, Boston ORDER TODAY! 617-661-1812 | WWW.BEMF.ORG Part of a season of EIGHT unforgettable concerts, featuring some of the world’s fi nest musicians: Concerto Köln | October 27 Hespèrion XXI with Jordi Savall | November 2 The Tallis Scholars | December 2 Quicksilver | January 26 Venice Baroque Orchestra | February 8 Luca Guglielmi, harpsichord & organ | March 9 Stile Antico | April 5 SAVALL 617.325.1700 | RED-EYEDPIG.COM | 1753 Centre St West Roxbury, MA 02132 Take-out and Catering | Hours: M-W 4-9 | Th 11:30-9 | Fr & Sat 11:30- 10 | Sun 12-7 Follow us on Twitter & Facebook A P R O G R A M O F 20 12 FALL ARTS New Offers Added Daily!

Clayton, a fallen sol- dier, and Alice, an elderly grandmother, walk the paths of Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. As they stroll past the gravesites of noted and obscure Bostonians, and past the unique statuary and exquisitely landscaped parkland, they release the burdens of their lives. We mortals, still residing in the land of the living, are led alongside them by a quartet of angelic ushers. A Glimpse Beyond is a site-specific 90-minute per- formance sponsored by the Friends of Mount Auburn Cemetery. Lauren MacCarthy, a member of the Friends organization, had seen a similar, less complex per- formance at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn and immediately felt that Mount Auburn could be a setting where the public could explore images and ideas about life, death, and life beyond death, and where new collab- orations among artists working in different disciplines could be born. MacCarthy contacted noted mask-maker and theater designer Eric Bornstein, who brought in choreographer Andrea Taylor-Blenis. She, in turn, contacted composer Martin Case. In time, the project grew to encompass a multicultural and multigenerational cast of professional and community dancers, actors, costume designer Elizabeth Rocha, a poet, and musicians who sing and play everything from violin to accordion, African djembe drums, and the bowed Bulgarian gadulka. “We’re taking the old idea of the grief walk, where people walk into their troubles and back out,” explains MacCarthy, “joining physicality with the process of working out grief.” It’s an idea with roots in many tradi- tions that has gained some prominence in contem- porary groups that support cancer patients and their families. For MacCarthy, the cemetery setting gives local artists an opportunity to be experienced against an unexpected background. Participating artists include dancers from Urbanity Dance, Prometheus Dance, and the Prometheus Elders Ensemble, members of the Cambridge Community Chorus and the Grant African Methodist Episcopal Church, poet Patricia Caspers, and many others. And though the dancers and musicians will be visible through the trees, those who join the event may also glimpse signs of wildlife and, in particular, the birds that have made this National Historic Landmark a site of pilgrimage for ornithologists. As MacCarthy explains, “It’s a cemetery that is tre- mendously alive.” _deBrA cAsh A Glimpse Beyond :: september 22 :: 4-5:30 pm [rain date september 23] :: mount Auburn Cemetery, 580 mt.

(And no, I don’t mean Islam.) But like the book, the theater piece is more exhilarating in its first half, which evokes the onetime lushness of Hosseini’s war-devastated homeland and chronicles the loss of his narrator’s innocence, than in its overwrought second, with its sadistic Taliban villain and serial fisticuffs. But the melodramatic turn is an inherited sin, and Elaine Vaan Hogue’s production — spare yet urgent and atmospheric — proves itself, like Hosseini’s protagonist, absolvable. Spangler’s adaptation debuted in 2009 at San José Rep, home of former New Rep honcho Rick Lom- bardo. Its chief allure is the retention of the novel’s narrative voice, particularly in the first act, where the adult Amir not only tells his story but enthusias- tically weaves himself into the rambunctious, then devastating events of his privileged Afghan youth. A bounding, tender Nael Nacer, as the grown-up Amir, shadows his arrogant if sensitive childhood self as he interacts with his forceful yet withholding father Ba- ba, his loyal Hazara servant/friend Hassan, and the neighborhood bullies. Though Paul Tate dePoo III’s set is mostly rocks and bricks and gravel, Nacer’s Amir evokes in language an enchanted world of gar- dens, pomegranates, and entitlement — all shattered by a betrayal Amir can neither countenance nor confess. After intermission, things get hurried as well as more lurid, but the New Rep staging hangs tough. It is here that Amir, having immigrated to California, is summoned home by family friend Rahim Khan, who offers a concrete if dangerous opportunity “to be good again.” Nacer’s anguish as Amir confronts the consequences of his past, both reparable and not, is heartrending if perhaps too frequent. Ken Baltin gives a robust performance as Baba, adamantine even when dying. The adult actor Luke Murtha is exquisitely centered yet puppyish as Hassan and later as Hassan’s orphan son. Fahim Hamid captures the surliness, ebullience, and remorse of young Amir. And the makeshift kites, when they appear, held aloft on poles, supply both color and grace. _CArOlYn ClAY The kiTe runner :: new repertory Theatre :: Through September 30 :: Charles Mosesian Theatre at Arsenal Center for the Arts, 321 Arsenal St, Watertown :: $28-$58 :: newrep.org>> Play by Play OPENING sOON ART :: Salem Theatre Company takes on Yasmina Reza’s famous comedy about a novice art collector who purchases an expensive painting.

The cast of the operetta (with one exception, and he was ailing at the opening performance) is in glorious voice, especially Erica Spyres as a yummy Yum-Yum, Davron S. Monroe as a laid-back Nanki-Poo, and Leigh Barrett as a flame-haired sorceress of a Katisha. Of course, much of The Mikado’s wit lies in its draping of Victorian English politics in Japanese clothing.

InspiRAYtion features performances by guest artists, faculty, and students inspired by the music of the great Ray Charles. This concert is presented as part of the Inspired by Ray symposium at Berklee, September 21 to 23. 8:15 p.m. at the Berklee Performance Center Tickets $35, $25, $15, reserved seating The MasTer — P.T. Anderson’s conTroversiAl Tour de force ToronTo — AlThough PAul ThomAs Anderson insists that all similarities are coincidental, his as- tounding new film The Master has riled up Scientol- ogists. So much so that the Weinsteins added extra security to the New York premiere last Tuesday. The religious group’s annoyance is understandable. Set in the post–World War II era, the film follows the misadventures of Freddie (Joaquin Phoenix), an alcoholic, shell-shocked ex-sailor who somehow ends up on a yacht with Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the charismatic, paranoid Master of the title, founder of a religion that preaches psychic healing through regression to past lives and employs a procedure suspiciously like Dianetics. But at a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival, Anderson insisted that he was interested more in understanding people than in exposés. “I don’t consider this to be about a cult. It’s an opportunity to tell a story. The postwar period was a time of tremendous optimism. But how can you feel great when there’s been so much death? So people want to know what happens after you die. The Master says that accessing previous lives is possible. That’s what I wrote the story around.” Freddie is one such wounded soul, and then some. In one of his first scenes, he’s shown humping a sand sculpture of a naked woman. Then he jerks off into the ocean. And that’s him in a good mood. When he gets riled up on the joy juice he cooks up out of paint thinner, he can get, as Anderson puts it, “unpredictable.” Both Phoenix and Hoffman put in performances that won them Golden Lions for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival. They’re at their peak when their characters’ love/hate relationship comes to a head after they’re locked in adjacent cells. They rage at each other in the kind of cacophony that only actors who know the difference between passion and scenery chewing can achieve. “They’re both heavy hitters, but they’re also team players,” Anderson said about his stars. “A young actor might try to dominate, but a mature one knows when to back down. Ultimately, it’s more fun when you play together in the service of something else. As opposed to a dick-matching contest.” Speaking of heavy hitting, at one point in the jailhouse scene, Phoenix’s rampage seems about to cause him bodily harm. Anderson kept the camera rolling. “True, you do have to be concerned for your actor’s safety,” he said. “But you also have to make sure to light the scene properly.” _PeTer Keough We did a junket so you don’t have to For more of Peter keough’s coverage from the toronto international Film Festival, go to thePhoenix.com/outsidetheframe.>> Framed evAngelicAl ZeAl Paul Thomas Anderson’s search- ers all wash out from the same starting point: nothing left to lose. So begins The Master, with Joaquin Phoenix’s Freddie Quell, a post-WWII drifter back from Guam after being sectioned- eight from the Navy. Fired from his job as a photographer in a genteel department store, Quell stumbles onto a yacht char- tered by the Cause, a cult led by Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the epitome of culture gone cracked. Dodd squeez- es the dotty rich for funds and enlists the dispossessed for muscle, journeying, Mormon- like, from New York City across the country. But the real conflict roils between Quell and Dodd, and in these roles the two actors put in performances not seen since Peter O’Toole and Richard Burton in Becket. Phoenix is crazy-itchy mad, a simian in a suit. And Hoffman exudes the bonhomie of a cultured Svengali with a cause. And that’s not to overlook Amy Adams as Peggy Dodd, the maestro’s wife and navigator, cold steel while her husband schmoozes as the life of the party. So there’s no need to drag The Master into Scientol- ogy territory. Anderson spins the DNA of the lost with such dazzle that it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not; he gets it right about evangelical charisma, a staple of our literature and film. Anderson has achieved his mid-century epic, and in its pure 65mm sumptuousness, the great American movie. _hArlAn JAcobson ++++ THE MASTER 137 Minutes kendaLL sQuaRe + CooLidGe CoRneR arts & nightliFe :: Film 124 09.21.12 :: thePhoeniX.CoM/Movies arts & nightliFe :: Film Opening this week +++ The AmbAssAdor :: Mads Cortzen is a diplomat on a mission. Representing Liberia, the Anglo interloper struts about the Central African Republic in colonialist fashion, dragging on cigarettes through an elongated holder, his Danish eyes hidden behind aviator glasses as the sun beats down on his bald pate, sweat pooling in his tight ginger beard. Frequently disparaging the Chinese as untrustworthy “because of the way they look,” he throws money at anyone who will take it — which is pretty much everyone. If Cortzen seems like a cartoon, well, that could be because he’s re- ally journalist Mads Brugger, sort of Raoul Duke by way of Borat. Illicitly purchasing his ambassadorship, and capturing his attempts to get into the blood-diamond business on hidden cameras, he has neither the playful flamboyance of Sacha Baron Cohen nor Hunter S. Thompson’s gonzo way with words. Taken as satire, this isn’t particularly funny — but then, the corruption he’s exposing is anything but a joke. :: 93m :: Brattle _brett michel +++ dredd 3d :: Johnny Knoxville and his merry band of Jackasses were on to something when they shot their last movie in 3D; their formula of slow-motion + stereoscopic imaging was just about the greatest thing ever. What I didn’t realize is how much this equation could be improved upon by adding faces getting graphically blown apart. If this doesn’t sound like your thing, then you must be the fan of Sylvester Stallone’s misguided movie of John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra’s 2000 AD char- acter, Judge Dredd. For the rest of you, erase your memories of Sly’s bomb with this, director Pete Travis and writer/producer Alex Gar- land’s lean reboot. We follow the trials of the helmeted law enforcement officer (the face- obscuring headgear remains atop good- sport actor Karl Urban’s dome for the entire running time, as it should), who is judge, jury, and executioner in a plot that is oth- erwise a retread of The Raid: Redemption. But, fun as that film was, it failed to find the beauty in blood spreading across the screen. :: 98m :: Boston Common + Chestnut Hill + suburbs _brett michel + eNd oF WATCh :: Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña aren’t exactly corrupt cops in this self-important police drama, they’re just fascistic assholes. As Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala, they spout faux-philosophical one-liners like “I am the fate of a badge and a gun,” use hidden cameras to record them- selves beating up criminals, and generally do everything they can to embody the spirit of Dirty Harry for the YouTube generation. Their brainless battling with a racially diverse cast of villains (who themselves are saddled with fake ethnic dialogue — try and keep track of how many times the Hispanic crew says “puto”) is only made worse by David Ayer’s incompetent direction. He begins with dashboard and “self-shot” footage by the char- acters, but the cinematography soon devolves into standard shaky hand-held, with flat compositions and no explanation as to where the “found footage” is even coming from. It leaves you wondering — who is filming the Gyllenhaal/Anna Kendrick love scenes? ::109 m :: Boston Common + Fenway + Chestnut Hill + suburbs _Jake mulligan ++1/2 For elleN :: Barely visible in a close-up behind the wheel of his car until the flame from his lighter illuminates his angular profile, floundering rocker Joby Taylor (Paul Dano) promptly spins into a snow bank. It’s going to be that kind of trip. Unfortunately, writer/director So Yong Kim never brings Taylor fully into the light in her portrait of a young man/child who gets a brief taste of adult responsibility on the eve of his divorce. A deadbeat dad, Taylor is allowed to spend a couple of hours with Ellen (Shaylena Mand- ingo), the six-year-old daughter he’s about to cede all custodial rights to as part of the settle- ment. Their scenes together are the heart of the film, and Kim elicits a similarly naturalis- tic performance out of the non-professional actress, just as she did with the juvenile protagonists of her superior previous picture, Treeless Mountain. Mandingo’s so good, it’s a shame that Dano is his typically mannered self. :: 93m :: Brattle _brett michel ++1/2 KNuCKlebAll! :: For a film that’s centered around such a silly-looking pitch, Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg’s documenta- ry is packed with considerable drama. Former Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield and current Mets pitcher R.A. Dicky serve as the two pri- mary subjects — the pair evidently the last of a breed — and we’re granted a comprehensive look at their path toward eventual big-league stardom. Both encountered enough setbacks in their careers to make their stories worth our while. Neither ever set out to be “knuckle- ball pitchers,” being forced into that lane only after more traditional methods failed. And neither discovered immediate success with that pitch, either, meaning they withstood years of humbling journeyman plodding. Yet there’s an element of weightiness to the pro- ceedings that doesn’t entirely hold. Like the curious inclusion of Wakefield blowing the 2003 ALCS to the Yankees, which was largely forgotten following the Sox’s 2004 miracle run. Its inclusion, along with a couple of other instances of melodrama, proves unnecessary in a pair of stories that hold up just fine by their own accord. :: 93m :: Coolidge _michael c. Walsh 1/2 resideNT evil: reTribuTioN :: Uwe Boll gets most of the scorn, but has anyone done more to destroy hope of a decent movie being made from a video game than Paul W.S. Anderson? Unlike Boll’s movies, Anderson’s have actually developed a follow- ing, which is why it’s so maddening to see fans of the Resident Evil franchise get jerked around by the producer/director, who’s once again written a starring role for his wife, Milla Jovovich. Donning her trademark black fetish-wear, zombie-fighter Alice spends the first few minutes bringing audiences up to speed on the events of the previous four pictures. She needn’t have bothered, since the movie proceeds to recycle scenes and locations from earlier installments, even bringing back deceased participants like Rain (Michelle Rodriguez) and Carlos (Oded Fehr) in this film’s creatively bankrupt excuse for a narrative: an extended, mostly slow-motion gun battle that serves solely as a set-up for, yes, another sequel.

We never see the restaurant when patrons are eating, an odd omission. The excitement is in the privileged times when we watch Bras fils obsessively piecing together an alchemic nou- velle cuisine dish: delicate, minimalist, extraor- dinarily imaginative. Is there anything here for the amateur chef? Sprinkle lime peelings onto milk-white ingredients: a verdant feast for the eye. :: 86m :: Kendall Square _gerald Peary ++1/2 Trouble WiTh The Curve :: Are we sure Clint Eastwood wasn’t in char- acter at the RNC? In his latest role (the film is directed by Robert Lorenz), he’s on the verge of blindness and senility, and at one point even kicks an empty chair while yelling “Son of a bitch!” at it. How’s that for bad timing? Still, as professional baseball scout Gus, Clint reminds us why we cared about his opinions in the first place. He elevates surliness to an art form, and as his lawyer daughter, Amy Adams does an admirable job keeping up. Matthew Lillard’s sinister turn as a stats-obsessed young gun positions this film as the anti-Moneyball; you keep expecting Clint to bellow, “Get your damn computer off my lawn!” Unfortunately, this isn’t about the sport. It’s yet another film about stubborn repressed people teaching each other to open up — she helps him see the players and sign the deals, he convinces her to stop eating vegan and to date a character played by Justin Timblerlake. The star power helps the charm outweigh the schmaltz. 111m :: Boston Com- mon + Fenway + suburbs _Jack mulligan ++1/2 ChiCKeN WiTh Plums :: Many filmmakers have made the transition from animation to live-action, but Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi’s new film suggests they’re better off going back to the drawing board. Although their debut (Persepolis, from Satrapi’s comics memoir) dealt with the Iranian Revolu- tion, their latest leaves the political statements to the subtext. Though the “meaning” isn’t difficult to parse: they follow a Persian musician, Nasser, who leads a melancholic life after his first love, Iran — a woman, not the country— rejected his advances to instead marry an army general (subtle). So when his unloving wife destroys his prized violin, he decides to “wait” for death, lying in his bed until the grim reaper comes to claim him. The many pieces — the socio-political un- dertones, the “life of an artist” narrative, the in- terspersed animated segments — never coalesce into a satisfying whole, yet the indelible images make up for the lack of harmony. Chicken with Plums is a feast for the eyes, not the soul. :: 93m :: Kendall Square _Jake mulligan nOw plAying A ++ ArbiTrAGe :: 2012 :: Visit thePhoenix. com/movies for a full review. :: 100m :: Boston Common + Kendall Square + Coolidge Corner + West Newton b +++1/2 bACheloreTTe :: 2012 :: Visit thePhoenix.com/movies for a full review. :: 91m :: Boston Common + suburbs +++1/2 beAsTs oF The souTherN Wild :: 2012 :: Visit thePhoenix.com/movies for a full review. :: 91m :: Kendall Square + West Newton ++1/2 beloved [les bieN-AimÉs] :: 2011 :: Visit thePhoenix.com/movies for a full review. :: French + Czech + English :: 139m :: Kendall Square ++1/2 The besT eXoTiC mAriGold hoTel :: 2012 :: Visit thePhoenix.com/ movies for a full review. :: 124m :: West Newton: Sat-Mon The blACK ANGel [der sChWArZe eNGel] :: 1973 :: Facing the banality of their empty lives, two women — one from Germany, the other from Boston — take off for Mexico in this first foray into nonfiction from German director Werner Schroeter. :: German + English + Spanish :: 94m :: HFA: Sat ++1/2 The bourNe leGACY :: 2012 :: Visit thePhoenix.com/movies for a full review. :: 135m :: Boston Common + Fenway + Fresh Pond + Somerville Theatre + Chestnut Hill + Embassy + suburbs arts & nightliFe :: Film 126 09.21.12 :: thePhoeniX.CoM/Movies ++1/2 The boX :: 2009 :: First-semester social-science students would wince at the overreaching metaphors in Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly’s latest Rorschach test.

Streisand plays every note from lowdown clownishness to Park Avenue heartbreak, all in perfect pitch. Funny Girl is a reminder why so many people grew up loving musicals. :: 151m :: Coolidge Corner: Mon h ++++ hAmleT :: 1948 :: Laurence Olivier made some controversial choices: he cut Fortinbras and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, turned “To be or not to be” into a voiceover, and elected to play the Dane as a mother-obsessed neurotic. But somehow all these imperfections don’t amount to much when you watch the movie. Olivier’s Hamlet, with his halo of platinum-blond hair, is a figure of wasted passion; his line readings are at once elegant and emotional, revealing soft shadings of wit, a courtly sorrow, and an almost delicate torment.

Their love dialogues and misadventures have a familiar ring — they are in fact the rough drafts of the lines and scenes to be immortalized not only in the play about star-crossed lovers Will is daily revising, but in future works like Twelfth Night and The Tempest.

Charles II (Rupert Everett) commands this revolutionary change at the urging of his working-class mistress, Nell Gwyn (Zoë Tapper). But Eyre’s focus is on Ned Kynaston (Billy Crudup), the last of the great Shakespearean female impersonators, and his dresser, Maria (Claire Danes), whose illicit duplication — born of a long-time adoration — of his celebrated performance as Desdemona, in a tavern playhouse, provokes the uproar that initiates a new era. On stage, Ned coaches Maria to play his Desdemona out of her own experience rather than just recycle his performance. He then partners her on stage, and his frightening Othello crashes through the decorum that the presence of real women in the theater has implicitly made démodé. Shakespeare practically invented psychological realism; Crudup’s Kynaston dramatizes the exciting moment when acting caught up with him. :: 110m :: ArtsEmerson: Sat t ++1/2 Ted :: 2012 :: Visit thePhoenix.com/ movies for a full review. :: 106m :: Boston Common + suburbs 10 YeArs :: 2011 :: A group of friends reunite at their 10-year high school reunion, each with a unique story and each realizing that they haven’t really grown up all that much.

Three months ago, his dreamy Brooklyn band DIIV released an excellent Captured Tracks debut, Oshin, melding bits of new wave, C86 indie-pop, and Krautrock into one of the year’s best records. Now out on the road, the long-time vegan and self-described “routine-based person” is once again immersed in the chaos of tour life: entire days in the van, living out of a suitcase, constant partying. “When I lived in New York, I ate the same meal twice a day every day for a year,” says Smith, also a touring guitarist for Beach Fossils. “I woke up at the same time every day and went running. But on tour, everything gets thrown for a loop.” It was during that Brooklyn year that Smith started DIIV, which essentially became a house band for all of the city’s illegal warehouse venues and smoky DIY spots. They were quickly plucked up as tour mates by bands like Best Coast and Listen live at wfnx.com see them live !

DIIV, brooklyn, ny Wild Nothing, but they’ve stayed true to their grassroots ethos. “[Last time] we were in Boston, we played fucking Royale and then went straight from there to a house show,” Smith says. “I think that really says something that I’ve always intended to be true about the band — that we can play a big venue or a small venue. I think the house shows are more true to our roots and our spirit. And the big venue is more of our aspiration.” It’s all part of the same quest for equilibrium, one that plays out beautifully on Oshin’s 12 tracks, as Smith’s guitar-oriented songs mediate between the light and the dark, the harsh and the ethereal. “It’s important to have a balance,” says Smith. “To have yin and yang in your life.” _LIZ PELLY p h o t o b y I a n p e r L m a n 130 09.21.12 :: THEPHOENIX.cOm/musIc GET A SEASON OF BLUEBIRD DAYS AT THE BEST PRICE WITH THE MOST PERKS $319 THE ONLY 5 MOUNTAIN COLLEGE SEASON PASS COLLEGE PASS DEADLINE: DECEMBER 16, 2012 NO BLACKOUT DATES!

Quick on my feet, I said, ‘The Velvet Underground, of course!’, and he thought that was pretty fuckin’ clever.” Perhaps still buzzing from the career highlight, Haines had the impulse to corral Reed into the studio to lend vocals to the track “The Wanderlust,” which appears on the Canadian band’s impressive Synthet- ica (Metric Music International). “I was determined to achieve the feeling with that song of contrasting this unbelievably optimistic, bright-eyed idea about seeing the world captured by me in the chorus, and then having this sort of cautionary, world-weary voice saying ‘Wanderlust will carry us on,’ ” Haines says in her best Reed impression, and laughs. The Metal Machine Music composer refused, as Haines puts it, “to work with a digital Emily,” and the two ended up collaborating old-school — face- to-face in the studio. But instead of showcasing the union or going the Killers-with-Reed route by lead- ing off an album with the team-up, the band bring “The Wanderlust” in as the second-to-last track on Synthetica. That’s not because it’s a bad song, but rather because it doesn’t have to sell the album, which is already stellar from start to end, with the bounce of single “Youth Without Youth,” the in- tensely unassuming title track, and the ridiculously infectious “Breathing Underwater.” Now five records deep, Metric have somehow man- aged to keep stepping it up, despite sonic tweaks or experimentation, consistently sounding invigorated and authentic. Maybe, like Haines says, it’s the band’s willingness to “bust our asses” when no one else was giving them the time of day. “I think all the breaks we didn’t get were, in fact, lessons,” she says about the lack of major-label acceptance. “They really forced us to create our own autonomous existence, which I think we always wanted, anyway. All the different ways you can go to be validated and endorsed, it just never happened for us, and maybe that was the bless- ing in retrospect — the things that didn’t happen.” _michaeL chrisTopher METRIC :: The Orpheum, 1 Hamilton Place, Boston :: September 20 @ 7:30 pm :: All Ages :: $28.50 to $33.50 :: 617.482.0106 or livenation.com>> IndIe geTTing Loud wiTh LighTning BoLT What is noise? To the ears of drummer extraordinaire Brian Chippendale, it’s a genre tag that’s been applied to Provi- dence power-duo Lightning Bolt for their entire 18-year existence. “The label of noise on us is strange,” he explains from the van in the midst of a tour that will see the Bolt decimate the Paradise this Sunday. “Because people will say, ‘I can’t understand what’s going on, it’s just crazy noise!’, and they’re talking about a four-chord song! All through the ’90s, I saw actual noise acts — Masonna, Merzbow, that sort of thing. From day one, I’ve always looked at us as a rock band.” Hear, hear: Chippendale and bassist Brian Gibson may ply their sonic wares at mind- melting volume, wear masks, and play on the floor of even the big- gest venue they tromp through, all in the service of playful- seeming fuzz-romps underpinned by Chippendale’s devious and ingenious trap work — but at the end of the day, it’s all full-on stomping capital-R rock of the highest grade, with everything louder than everything else. “Certain bands become normal when they figure out what they want to do,” Chippendale says. “We finally started to sound like Motörhead, which is what we wanted to sound like the whole time.” _danieL BrocKman Lightning BoLt Paradise Rock Club, 967 Comm Ave, Boston September 23 Tickets: $17 arts & nIghtlIfe :: MUsIC M E T R IC P H O T O : J u S T In B R O A d B E n T 132 09.21.12 :: THEPHOENIX.COM/MuSIC arts & nightlife :: boston accents Following Julia EastErlin’s bEat long accustomEd to rEpEating hErsElF, Julia Easterlin is finally done explaining. For nearly the past 10 years, the 2011 Berklee College of Music grad and Georgia native has given a brief on-stage introduction to what she does — and how she does it — to varying audiences, from her college’s com- mencement ceremony to last year’s Lollapalooza in Chicago. She’ll inform the crowd that she uses a loop pedal to make a “one-person choir” by recording and replaying a vocal drone and drumbeat, then gradu- ally builds on that to create her song. Last year, she stopped spelling it out for everyone. “I started explaining what I do nearly a decade ago,” Easterlin says from New York City, where she moved just two weeks ago. “At the time, there weren’t many people doing it in any popular sphere.” On one hand, musical audiences have grown more techno- logically sophisticated — and more willing to em- brace a solo artist hovering over a BOSS RC-50 loop station and using nothing but a Shure SM58 vocal mic and the occasional floor tom to create a layered and textured whirlwind of sound that’s as majestic as it is experimental. On the other, artists like tUnE- yArDs, Andrew Bird, and Imogen Heap have all brought vocal looping to the mainstream. “At this point, it’s more popularized,” Easterlin says. “Anytime you’ve been working on something for a while, and someone new, or someone you per- ceive as being new, comes along on the scene with institutional backing, well, anyone in that situation would say, ‘Shit, I’ve been doing this!’ After that ini- tial reaction, you know at least there’s an audience for this and opportunity for a place for it to exist, as opposed to this nebulous thing that’s hard for people to categorize.” Despite the growing familiarity of her production style, Easterlin’s sound is still hard to pin down. “I grew up with Southern music and gospel and South- ern folk, and all that finds its way into the music I’m making,” she says. There’s a soulful aspect to her music that’s enhanced by her background as a jazz vocalist and student of opera while in high school. Her stable of “reimagined” covers — from Mavis Staples’s “Eyes on the Prize” to Radiohead’s “There There” and “Break My Body” by the Pixies, off Berk- lee’s Heavy Rotation Records sampler — exhibits a continuous web-like flow of distinct atmospherics that also spotlight the strongest instrument in her minimal musical arsenal: her voice. So, naturally, Easterlin’s latest songwriting has centered around her words. This has flipped around the creative process. “When I started, I was working with a loop pedal and working from the ground up,” Easterlin says. “Of late, I’ve been working backwards, building around lyrics.” _michaEl marotta JULIA EASTERLIN + DAD | Middle East, 472 Mass Ave, Cambridge :: September 22 @ 7 pm :: 18+ :: $10 :: 617.864.3278 or mideastclub.com>> cellars Playlist Weekly Playlist kicks off with the premiere of animal talK’s new single, “Mama Was a Teenage Rocker,” which coats an electronic gloss over some tasty ’70s rock grooves.

Then something weird happens: the sleepiness erupts into psychedelic blaxploitation soul, with huge wallops of wah-wah cascading over ominous synths and drunken drum-kit stumbles. Veckatimest, the quartet’s third studio album, was indisputably gorgeous — but that beauty was so refined, so calculated, it sometimes kept an emotional roadblock between listener and band. On the more visceral Shields, Grizzly Bear get a little weirder, a little synthier, a little grizzlier. Veckatimest felt like a 50/50 split between Rossen’s literate folk-prog and Ed Droste’s sensitive, textured psych-pop, sequenced as a sonic tug-of-war. On Shields, they achieve a fluid synthesis: Rossen and Droste still share vocal duties, but they often tag-team the same track, trading off lines and writing melodies for one another’s voices. Their styles coalesce so smoothly, it’s often difficult to tell where one singer-songwriter starts and the other ends. “Speak in Rounds” begins as a Droste-led exercise in sleek, modern restraint, with soulful vocal melodies wafting over Christopher Bear’s deadened, tribal tom-toms. Then Rossen’s shimmering acoustics strum in and steal the show, culminating in a fuzzy, punk-ish clatter of horns and cym- bals. “Gun-shy” is a sonic marvel, with an endless supply of headphone-worthy details: Rossen and Droste trading druggy vocal lines, a psychedelic dialogue between slide guitar and synth, triangles and shakers percolating over Bear’s booming bass drum. “Looking back and forth, turn around,” Droste croons over creaking, minimalist soundscapes on piano ballad “The Hunt,” “One that makes no sense but feels good anyhow.” In a way, it’s the perfect summary of Shields’ thrilling, idiosyn- cratic sprawl. _Ryan Reed arts & nightlife :: Music album Reviews see them live Grizzly Bear + Unknown Mortal Orchestra The Orpheum, 1 Hamilton Place, Boston September 22 @ 8 pm, All Ages, $33.50 617.482.0106 or livenation.com FIELD REPORT, FIELD REPORT +++ Partisan Records » Just because Chris Por- terfield recorded his debut solo record at ex-DeYarmond Edison bandmate Justin Vernon’s April Base studio in Eau Claire does not mean it will break your heart like Vernon’s mythic cabin in the woods. Thematically, it’s dense like Edison, cryptic even, but its instrumentals don’t make it their business to enchant. If you’re not already equipped and expecting to fall in love, you could easily pass by that emotional whirlpool like a ship in the night. But if a breathy, acoustic aquarium is up your alley, then take the dive and swim alongside Porterfield’s magical lyricism. Throughout the record, he vividly dramatizes his own past by ensconcing it within the folds of a bygone folk romanticism (think Dylan and Kerouac, with a battered Midwestern sincerity) and, in doing so, renders it worthy of re- membering. Fictitious or not, though, it is a beautiful creature to behold. _devon S. Maloney R.E.M., DOCUMENT [25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION] +++1/2 Capitol/ I.R.S. Records » Fans of R.E.M. enjoy arguing over which album was the band’s true shark-jump, but 1987’s Document was inarguably the end of a groundbreaking era. It was the Athens band’s fifth and last album for indie label I.R.S., as well as their inevitable leap from mumbled jangle-rock into full-blown arena power. For all its bigness, however, robust radio staples like “Finest Worksong” and “The One I Love” still broadcast the band’s legendary ambiguity, while “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” remains an archetype of ’80s progressive college rock. Looking back, this is truly a best-of-both-worlds record, the little-band-that-could growing into its new clothes.

Dianellie paired a repurposed army jacket, H&M leggings, and Jeffrey Campbell platforms to perfection. “Rough and rugged is me. I feel like myself in pants,” said the self-taught designer behind ready-to-wear line Demand Di. “I don’t feel comfortable in dresses.” She loves clothes with a story, like vintage pieces and designs made from offbeat materials. She’d seen the latter that night at a Copley Place fashion show, where she fell hard for an outfit made entirely of paper clips. Dianellie, we hear Project Runway calling. _Erin Souza >> More Get Seen on p 150 Above, clockwise from top: Omid Maxey, Mike Brescia, Stanley Francis, Donny Defarzio; Ferns Francois, Alexandra Siegel; Dianellie Alexander, Dunstan Dubique, Kia Anthony Far left: Maya Maxine, Valquiria Souza Near left: Juan Jimenez, Winston Smith p h O t O S B y M ic h A e l y O u n g »At the Fashion’s Night Out After-Party at Forum For the second year, Fashion’s Night Out closed Newbury Street to cars, lit the Pru up pink, and drew thousands to boutiques normally quiet by night.

Being a fashionista in Boston, you have to go everywhere and anywhere to find them,” he said. To be clear, that’s Fashionista with a capital F. “Two F’s!” he amended. More from Assemble! at Emerald Lounge arts & nightlife :: Parties Like any Fashionista worth both his F’s, Delicious understands the merit of mixing high-end and low- end pieces. He scored the jacket from a street fair for $3. “For labels, I go to Barneys or Neiman’s,” he said. “But I like to mix and match. I like found objects, whether on the street or at Goodwill.” We dug that the scarf he was rocking belonged to his late mother. “I’m paying homage to her,” he said. At the suggestion that the rest of his ensemble looked a bit Christmassy, he laughed, “Well, it’s almost fall isn’t it? So I’m ahead of the season. I’m a trendsetter.” _alExandra Cavallo ph O t O S B y D e r e K K O u y O u M Ji A n More parties! At thePhoenix. com/PArties. see you out there! THEPHOENIX.cOm/PArTIEs :: 09.21.12 153 << More from ASSeMble! from p 150 back talk :: publisher’s note BACK TO THE FUTURE By sTEpHEn m. mindiCH Welcome to our neW World. Or perhaps it’s back to the future.  After our legacy of nearly 50 years of publishing an alternative weekly on newsprint, what you hold in your hands is an experi- mental idea, one that does more than just challenge the long-held assumptions of what an alt-weekly should look like. As a new magazine, the Phoenix preserves the heart and soul of the Boston Phoenix: the same dedication to questioning authority, the same top-notch writing and investigative reporting, and the same pas- sion for Boston and its many communities. At the same time, it retains the energy and verve of Stuff maga- zine — as well as the writers, editors, freelancers, photographers, and designers who made both publications great. So while we started this experiment with the pieces we had on hand, we be- lieve that this new whole is bigger than the sum of its parts. This Phoenix continues our legacy of political provocation, of Pulitzer-quality arts and culture criticism (even if, alas, as a maga- zine we are no longer eligible to win another Pulitzer). It picks up the thread of nightlife coverage that goes back to the 1970s, when we published glossy fashion and food quarterlies, and that con- tinued in Stuff. And this new publication will keep evolving as we expand the scope of our enterprise to match the evolving interests of our audience, as well as the breadth of our individual passions. Because the Phoenix today is defined, as it always has been, by the people who make it, not by what it’s printed on. And on the subject of the people who make it: the simple fact is that managing to execute the massive challenge that was laid out to the entire staff merely seven weeks ago, with this amazing result you have in hand, is in and of itself a testament to the ex- traordinariness of every single person involved. To each, my kudos and never-ending thank you. You should all take great pride in this accomplishment. I certainly do. But it would be completely remiss of me to not single out a few people whose leadership throughout this exhausting process re- ally exceeds my ability to adequately and fully thank them. Cre- ative Director Kristen Goodfriend, Editor Carly Carioli, Senior VP of Sales Bill Risteen, Director of Creative Operations Travis Ritch, and Director of Marketing Brian Appel — absolutely and positively without them, the Phoenix as it is today could not and would not have been born. And finally to our audience and advertisers, thank you for your past, present, and future support, for without you none of us would be fortunate enough to be able to do what we do.   The Phoenix today is defined, as it always has been, by the people who make it, not by what it’s printed on. m in d ic h P h o t o b y J A n ic E c h E c c h io ; P it b u l l P h o t o c o u r t E s y o f d A v id t h o r P E Coming nexT week in The Phoenix » one day, a Phoenix columnist named david thorpe asked the internet to exile Pitbull, the rapper, to Alaska. ¶ the internet said, Yes, that’s an awesome idea. ¶ together, thorpe and the internet hijacked a facebook marketing campaign and made it so. ¶ that’s when Pitbull called.

He added: “My philosophy is very differ- ent from most people in corrections.” It’s more like Commissioner Ponte’s, he said. Ponte has said: “We’re not in the business of punishment, but corrections.” Here’s a third clue: Prison reformers have long viewed Barnhart as a reform roadblock, too willing to accept the old ways. And they suspect that a recent alleged assault by a Maine State Prison guard captain on a hand- cuffed prisoner, Renardo Williams, had something to do with Barnhart’s firing. In a telephone interview, Williams, serv- ing 15 years for drug trafficking, gave his ver- sion of the Christmas Eve incident: After he this Just in f Corrections commissioner Joseph Ponte told the Legislature’s Criminal Justice Committee on January 16 that, because of state personnel law, he couldn’t publicly say — until severance negotiations are finished — why he had fired, six days earlier, Maine State Prison warden Patricia Barnhart. She has said she can’t say why, either. But a likely reason is that Barnhart didn’t go along with the program: Ponte’s aggres- sive two-year-old effort to reform the prison. Here’s a major clue. When asked in an interview what sort of new warden he would seek, Ponte replied he wanted somebody skilled in the “change process.” Here’s another clue. Ponte has named Rod Bouffard the acting warden at Warren. One of the most experienced change agents in the prison system, Bouffard reformed the Long Creek Youth Development Center, in South Portland. He transformed it from one of the harshest juvenile lockups in the coun- try to a treatment-oriented model studied all over the country for its success in reducing recidivism, the return to criminal behavior after inmates are released. In a brief interview, Bouffard, who said he wouldn’t apply to become the permanent warden because Warren is too far from his home in the Portland area, tellingly com- mented on his plans for the prison: “I’m definitely going to soften it” — a stunning remark from a corrections official. Bouffard said treating prisoners with respect begets better-behaved prisoners. When it was suggested the prison’s “old boys’ network” may resist change, he replied: “Well, they’d better hang on. I’ve experienced that more than once in my ca- reer,” referring to staff resistance to reform at Long Creek. The final clue: the prison guards’ union has vocally defended the warden after her termination. Getting answers Why the prison warden got fired Scene from a pipeline protest The glue-in f It takes less than two minutes for the squad to fully lock into formation in the TransCanada office in Westborough, Massachusetts. As added insurance, each of them twists open a tube of super glue, slathers the adhesive on their palms, and joins hands with their arms across their chests. A TransCanada employee stares perplexedly at the protesters, tells them that he called the cops, and politely asks everyone to unlock. Devyn Powell, a 20-year-old Tufts junior who has been appointed the group’s spokesperson, draws her line in the sand: “This isn’t against anyone in this office, but we’re not leaving until they stop the pipeline.” The first cop arrives on the scene 10 minutes into the disturbance, and he is not amused. As he paces around the protest circle, explaining the concept of private property, he racks his brain for some solution to the unprecedented conun- drum before him — they don’t get too many glue-ins around these parts. A few minutes pass, and a second officer arrives, followed by the Westborough chief of police and, minutes later, a fire truck. Even with all the king’s horses and all the objected to what he saw as harassment from the captain and a couple of other guards, the captain had handcuffs put on him. Told to sit down, he responded, “I choose to stand.” Then, Williams said, the captain “tackled me,” knocking his legs from under him, and both fell down. Prisoner-rights advocates have com- plained for years that this officer bullied inmates. He reportedly has been suspended or fired. The Corrections department didn’t reply by deadline to a request for his status. (Because the Phoenix wasn’t able to reach him before deadline, his name is being withheld.) Maine NAACP director Rachel Talbot Ross said the group plans to meet with Wil- liams, an African American, to discuss the incident. Williams has been transferred to the Maine Correctional Center in Windham because, he said, “I feared for my life” from the captain’s friends and family working at the state prison. In an interview, Ponte said he couldn’t comment on the incident because an inves- tigation is going on. “It had nothing to do” with Barnhart’s dismissal, he said. Bouffard, the new Maine State Prison boss, has a mental-health-treatment back- ground, having run the Augusta Mental Health Institute (now Riverview Psychiatric Center) and the now-closed Pineland Center for the developmentally disabled. His boss, Ponte, has become nationally known for dramatically reducing solitary confinement, in which many mentally ill prisoners had been placed. Ponte has ac- complished other reforms, including reduc- ing the frequency that probation violations send people back to prison, thereby helping stabilize what had been an ever-growing and ever-more-expensive prison population. He king’s men, though, the first responders call for an outside locksmith. In the meantime, since one cop failed to separate the protesters with sheer force — by attempting to pry their hands apart — the medics move to unseal the glue in a more delicate manner. By scrap- ing and peeling, they manage to eradicate most of the gobs, and erode whatever’s left with swabs soaked in nail-polish remover. Once the protestors are unglued, about an hour and a half into the fray, addi- tional help arrives. Like the cops who called him, the locksmith appears anything but thrilled to be there; he puts his tools down anyway, and begins to drill the ankle lock on UNH senior Ben Trolio. In a 10-minute shower of sparks, the lock- smith manages to free everyone’s legs using the same technique — but that’s the easy part. Someone still has to crack through eight $100 “New York Fahgettaboudit” locks, made of case-hardened, triple-heat-treated boron man- ganese steel. The manufacturer, Kryptonite, is so sure of the impenetrability of their locks, they’ll replace your bike if the product is com- promised. Faced with that challenge, the lock- smith gives up and takes off. Next up: portlaNd The gang has so far raised more than $2000 — for bail commission fees, fines, and other expenses — through their website. As they await their court date, they’ve been speaking out about their January 7 shake-up. This Saturday, January 26, they’ll align with 350 New England and other activist groups in Portland, for a protest against Exxon- Mobil’s Northeastern tar-sands pipeline. _Chris Faraone read the full account, and updates, at thePhoenix.com. also has reduced guard overtime expenses by millions of dollars a year. Speaking of Ponte’s reforms at the Crimi- nal Justice Committee meeting, its Senate chairman, Stan Gerzofsky, a Democrat, remarked, “It’s a big gamble the commis- sioner has taken on,” alluding to possible public reaction if an inmate or former in- mate who was treated less strictly commits a heinous crime. But, Gerzofsky said, “The alternative is warehousing, and that does nobody any good.” “And it’s expensive,” Ponte interjected. Senator Gary Plummer, the committee’s lead Republican, said the state needs to extend “the good things we’ve done with ju- veniles to another population” in the prison system. Ponte and the Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition have long pushed for exactly that. In an email, MPAC’s Jim Bergin said he hoped new leadership at the prison “will facilitate continued change from an out- moded punitive-based means of controlling inmates to an incentive-based approach.” Bergin saw Barnhart’s firing as confirma- tion that “the lack of leadership at the top in the prison created an atmosphere where certain staff have been enabled to disregard policy and even instigate disruption as a means of discrediting the commissioner and his improvements.” Indeed, veteran correctional officers have complained about Ponte’s new approaches to dealing with prisoners — to the point that Barnhart, who was appointed by Commis- sioner Martin Magnusson in 2009, was, after her firing, vigorously defended in the daily press by a guard union official. _Lance Tapley 6 January 25, 2013 | the portland phoenix | portland.thephoenix.com politics + other mistakes _BY AL DIAMON _BY DAVID KISh How to fix everything f I’m not a big fan of reform. Per-haps that’s the result of a child- hood lived under constant threats from parents and teachers that if I didn’t change my ways, I’d be sent to “reform school.” I never took those warnings too seriously, so my aversion to reform probably owes more to reading H. L. Mencken. In his A New Dictionary of Quo- tations, there’s this listing: “Reforms should begin at home and stay there.” It’s credited to “author unknown,” but that was often Mencken’s way of quoting himself. Maine’s greatest contribution to Congress, Thomas Brackett Reed (speaker of the House, 1889-1891 and 1895-1899), was also less than enthu- siastic about reform. Reed saw it this way: “An indefinable something is to be done, in a way nobody knows how, at a time nobody knows when, that will accomplish nobody knows what.” This state has a considerable his- tory of reforms that haven’t worked out quite as promised. Prohibition, which Maine adopted long before the rest of the country, proved lucrative for criminals, but ineffective in most other ways. Term limits on legisla- tors were supposed to open up seats so more ordinary citizens could serve. Instead, that law allowed a few mas- terful tacticians to preside over an idiocracy. Public funding of elections was said to be the way to thwart the power of rich people and corpora- tions. It turned out that was uncon- stitutional, and now those entities dominate campaign spending. You might think the reformers would have learned their lesson by now, but you’d be wrong. They’ve just come up with a swell new propos- al. It requires term limits on drinking booze paid for with public money. Oops, sorry. That idea is still in development. This year’s version of fixing what isn’t broken is called ranked-choice voting. The effort to have the governor elected by this complicated and expensive method is being sponsored by Democratic state Representative Janice Cooper and independent state Senator Richard Woodbury, both of Yarmouth (some- body should check the water supply in that town). “This isn’t a major change in the way the system works,” Cooper told the Forecaster. Assuming that by “major,” she doesn’t mean a constitutional amend- ment, the appropriation of millions of dollars, the creation of a logisti- cal nightmare, and the likelihood of mass confusion. After all, most of those same drawbacks plague crowd- control efforts on an average Saturday night in Portland’s Old Port. Speaking of Portland, it already has ranked-choice voting. It was used for the first time in 2011 to pick a mayor from among 15 candidates. Voters rated each contender from their first choice to their last. When the ballots were counted the person with the lowest number of first-place votes was eliminated, and his or her support was distributed to whoever was ranked second. This process continued until somebody got a ma- jority. According to supporters, that’s the big advantage of ranked-choice voting. It produces a winner backed by over 50 percent of the electorate. And it does that in the same way that Prohibition reduced immorality, term limits increased accountability and Clean Election funding did away with corruption. Which is to say, it doesn’t. Michael Brennan, the winner of the mayor’s race in Portland, received support on a little less than 46 per- cent of all valid ballots cast. That’s because ranked-choice voting requires throwing out any “exhausted” bal- lots, those on which the voter didn’t express a preference for either the eventual winner or the runner-up. Let’s say there were five candidates for governor: a Democrat, a Repub- lican, a Green, a well-financed inde- pendent, and a poverty-stricken non- party hopeful with radical plans for improving government. You, being weary of the non-solutions offered by the major parties, fill out your ranked-choice ballot (which requires an advanced degree in mechanical en- gineering to understand) thusly: Your first choice is the under- funded independent. This is the great thing about ranked-choice. It allows you to support a candidate with no chance of winning without wasting your vote. Your second choice is the Green, because you like the outsider’s per- spective. Again, you get to vote your conscience without worrying about being shut out of the final decision. Your third selection is the rich independent. You have your doubts, but you figure you’ve got to vote for somebody who’s a viable candidate. You don’t vote for the Republican or Democrat. After several days of state workers uploading ballots to a computer sys- tem capable of sorting them out and hand-counting the ballots on which there are ambiguities, the results are announced: One of the major-party contenders prevailed. But because you didn’t choose either of them, your vote isn’t figured in those totals. For all intents, you might as well have stayed home on election day. Home? Isn’t that where Mencken said reform belonged? ^ Form your comments. Then, re-form them. Only after that should you email them to me at aldiamon@herniahill.net. Card-Carrying Congress f this year is just barely out of the crate, and already it’s shaping up to be depressingly like last year. With the dust still settling from the fiscal cliff fiasco, foot soldiers on both sides of the aisle are sharpening their knives for yet another clash, this time over some- thing called the debt ceiling. But what exactly is it? tax revenues don’t begin to cover the cost of the uS’s spending programs, meaning the government has to borrow cash to make up the shortfall. But it doesn’t just hit up mom when it needs a loan. instead, it secures funds by packaging its debt into bonds known as “trea- sury securities.” investors — individuals, institutions, and countries — who buy them are effectively loaning the treasury the face value of that bond to do with as it pleases.

Per-haps that’s the result of a child- hood lived under constant threats from parents and teachers that if I didn’t change my ways, I’d be sent to “reform school.” I never took those warnings too seriously, so my aversion to reform probably owes more to reading H. L. Mencken. In his A New Dictionary of Quo- tations, there’s this listing: “Reforms should begin at home and stay there.” It’s credited to “author unknown,” but that was often Mencken’s way of quoting himself. Maine’s greatest contribution to Congress, Thomas Brackett Reed (speaker of the House, 1889-1891 and 1895-1899), was also less than enthu- siastic about reform. Reed saw it this way: “An indefinable something is to be done, in a way nobody knows how, at a time nobody knows when, that will accomplish nobody knows what.” This state has a considerable his- tory of reforms that haven’t worked out quite as promised. Prohibition, which Maine adopted long before the rest of the country, proved lucrative for criminals, but ineffective in most other ways. Term limits on legisla- tors were supposed to open up seats so more ordinary citizens could serve. Instead, that law allowed a few mas- terful tacticians to preside over an idiocracy. Public funding of elections was said to be the way to thwart the power of rich people and corpora- tions. It turned out that was uncon- stitutional, and now those entities dominate campaign spending. You might think the reformers would have learned their lesson by now, but you’d be wrong. They’ve just come up with a swell new propos- al. It requires term limits on drinking booze paid for with public money. Oops, sorry. That idea is still in development. This year’s version of fixing what isn’t broken is called ranked-choice voting. The effort to have the governor elected by this complicated and expensive method is being sponsored by Democratic state Representative Janice Cooper and independent state Senator Richard Woodbury, both of Yarmouth (some- body should check the water supply in that town). “This isn’t a major change in the way the system works,” Cooper told the Forecaster. Assuming that by “major,” she doesn’t mean a constitutional amend- ment, the appropriation of millions of dollars, the creation of a logisti- cal nightmare, and the likelihood of mass confusion. After all, most of those same drawbacks plague crowd- control efforts on an average Saturday night in Portland’s Old Port. Speaking of Portland, it already has ranked-choice voting. It was used for the first time in 2011 to pick a mayor from among 15 candidates. Voters rated each contender from their first choice to their last. When the ballots were counted the person with the lowest number of first-place votes was eliminated, and his or her support was distributed to whoever was ranked second. This process continued until somebody got a ma- jority. According to supporters, that’s the big advantage of ranked-choice voting. It produces a winner backed by over 50 percent of the electorate. And it does that in the same way that Prohibition reduced immorality, term limits increased accountability and Clean Election funding did away with corruption. Which is to say, it doesn’t. Michael Brennan, the winner of the mayor’s race in Portland, received support on a little less than 46 per- cent of all valid ballots cast. That’s because ranked-choice voting requires throwing out any “exhausted” bal- lots, those on which the voter didn’t express a preference for either the eventual winner or the runner-up. Let’s say there were five candidates for governor: a Democrat, a Repub- lican, a Green, a well-financed inde- pendent, and a poverty-stricken non- party hopeful with radical plans for improving government. You, being weary of the non-solutions offered by the major parties, fill out your ranked-choice ballot (which requires an advanced degree in mechanical en- gineering to understand) thusly: Your first choice is the under- funded independent. This is the great thing about ranked-choice. It allows you to support a candidate with no chance of winning without wasting your vote. Your second choice is the Green, because you like the outsider’s per- spective. Again, you get to vote your conscience without worrying about being shut out of the final decision. Your third selection is the rich independent. You have your doubts, but you figure you’ve got to vote for somebody who’s a viable candidate. You don’t vote for the Republican or Democrat. After several days of state workers uploading ballots to a computer sys- tem capable of sorting them out and hand-counting the ballots on which there are ambiguities, the results are announced: One of the major-party contenders prevailed. But because you didn’t choose either of them, your vote isn’t figured in those totals. For all intents, you might as well have stayed home on election day. Home? Isn’t that where Mencken said reform belonged? ^ Form your comments. Then, re-form them. Only after that should you email them to me at aldiamon@herniahill.net. Card-Carrying Congress f this year is just barely out of the crate, and already it’s shaping up to be depressingly like last year. With the dust still settling from the fiscal cliff fiasco, foot soldiers on both sides of the aisle are sharpening their knives for yet another clash, this time over some- thing called the debt ceiling. But what exactly is it? tax revenues don’t begin to cover the cost of the uS’s spending programs, meaning the government has to borrow cash to make up the shortfall. But it doesn’t just hit up mom when it needs a loan. instead, it secures funds by packaging its debt into bonds known as “trea- sury securities.” investors — individuals, institutions, and countries — who buy them are effectively loaning the treasury the face value of that bond to do with as it pleases. But there’s a finite amount of bonds the government can have in circulation before it has to seek congressional approval for more. periodically, the uS hits that debt ceil- ing — as happened on december 31, when it reached its borrowing limit of $16.4 trillion — and congress votes on whether or not to extend the government’s line of credit. historically, that’s just a formality, but in the summer of 2011, for the first time the debt ceiling was used as an instrument of political advantage. cue 2013, and once again republicans are holding the debt ceiling hostage to demands for huge spending cuts, under the guise of “deficit reduction.” (the Gop’s real objective?

Further, the story concerns the powers and limits of technical knowledge. daedalus is a brilliantly clever man; in fact, his very name comes from the Greek word Daidalos, meaning “cunning worker.” in many ways, he personifies human technological inventiveness. yet the myth repeatedly suggests that this acumen can be dangerous, even destructive. daedalus’ tal- ents helped to procreate the minotaur. he let tyrants employ his gifts for sinister purposes. he constructed the labyrinth, only to have it become a slaughterhouse for the young. he mastered the principles of flight and created wings, succeeding in bringing about the death of his son. in the background of The Fall of Icarus, i now see daedalus as a failed teacher and parent. in both roles, his legacy is complex and twisted. his technological brilliance and creativity are undeniable, yet they culminate in achievements that he ends up cursing. his gifts create suffering for himself and others. his care for his son seems limited to the provision of technological devices. is the myth a criticism of technical inventiveness? i doubt it. Whether exemplified in labyrinths or towers of Babel, the impulses to design and make are deeply ingrained in our human make-up and deserving of celebration. to me, the myth hints at a more subtle criticism — one that concerns education — that the transfer of technological knowledge and skills is insufficient. technology, if we are not to rue it, must conjoin with the cultivation of humanity. my attention shifts from [icarus’s] disappearing legs to the brilliant sun dominating the landscape, and the figures of the peasants going about their work. these peasants (whom Breugel often celebrates) possess something often forgotten in the midst of technological brilliance. they, frequently perforce, remain close to the earth. in their farm- ing, fishing, and sailing, they rely upon and care for it. of course, they use technology as sioned section takes the interpretation of Ni- etzsche’s nihilism in a direction even philos- ophy students might be surprised at.

Shocking, I know. It was her vegan chipotle nachos, made with lentils and nut-based “cheese” sauce (see sidebar for the recipe), that sparked my conviction. McClay, 38, is the proprietor of Port- land’s new Modern Vegan Cooking School and the Maine representative for the Wellness Forum, a national for-profit dietary-education organization. She’s been eating a plant-based diet since 1992, when a college course piqued her interest in vegetarianism and then full-on vegan- ism. She hasn’t eaten any animal-derived products since then — really. No meat, no cheese, no dairy products. And, perhaps most remarkably, no cravings. “It’s my choice,” she says in her West- brook kitchen on a recent afternoon. She wakes up every day and thinks, “I can eat whatever I want today.” It just so happens that what she wants are vegan foods. While the philosophy of veganism — avoiding the consumption of animal products — has been around for centuries, the term itself was coined in 1944 and the American Vegan Society was founded in 1960. Interest in the United States has gained steadily since then; surveys report that between 0.5 and 3 percent of Ameri- cans now identify as vegan (including Bill Clinton and Mike Tyson). Proponents claim that eating a plant- based diet improves overall health and well-being, resilience to disease, skin problems, and energy levels. It also decreases a person’s carbon footprint, given that the industrial livestock sector releases significant pollution and green- house gas emissions into our water and atmosphere. “I can’t think of a worse way to use resources that produce worse worldly out- comes,” McClay says. “It’s very political for me.” She also cites weight-loss ben- efits and disease-prevention as personal motivators. Plus, going vegan can reduce your grocery bill, especially if you start to buy ingredients from the bulk aisle. Two years ago — right around the time Clinton announced he’d gone vegan — McClay decided it was time to put herself out there as a resource to her community. She’d reaped internal benefits of vegan- ism for two decades; now she wanted to spread the word. She began offering personal chef services and private cook- ing lessons, and got positive responses to both. And so this month, she’s launching a series of public cooking classes to further widen her reach. On the docket in Febru- ary: courses covering winter soups, cook- ing for weight-loss, greens, and dinner- party fare. Her teaching strategy is simple: Focus on creating an entire meal, rather than “meat with a side of vegetables.” Incorpo- rate complex carbohydrates, grains, and legumes. When people dive into a plant- based diet thinking they can survive on salads alone, McClay cringes. “They’re bloated, they’re starving, they’re bored,” she says. With a Modern Vegan education, there are no restrictions, no portion control. McClay likes to teach her students that they can eat as much as they want — as long as they’re eating the right stuff. “You’re feeding yourself foods that nourish every cell in your body,” she says. Her number one tip for healthier cooking? Stop using oil for sautéeing veg- etables. Instead, use small amounts of water, lemon juice, broth, wine, or beer — not enough to steam what’s in the pan, just enough to make sure nothing burns or sticks (this doesn’t work in a nonstick pan). An equally important tactic, much to my dismay, is to eliminate cheese, which McClay notes has addictive properties (researchers have claimed that cheese pro- duces opiate effects in consumers — not to mention its high levels of cholesterol and fat). Now that I have her nut-sauce recipe in hand, I may be able to get closer to a cheese-less existence. Not to worry: in McClay’s world, even baby steps count. If you sign up for a Modern Vegan cooking class, “I don’t ex- pect that you have any intention of going vegan,” McClay says. “It’s about learning new foods, new things to eat, and ways to incorporate that on a personal level.” ^ Learn more about Modern Vegan and the Wellness Forum on Tuesday, January 29, when McClay hosts a free dinner and dis- cussion at the Masonic Lodge, 102 Bishop St, Portland.

These are the ones you want.” In “Determining Goals,” we learn that “the group is familial, a radi- cal restructuring of the family unit from the nuclear model to something more akin to a hunter-gatherer tribe or a Stalin- era collectivist farm.” And in “Sex,” we come to understand that “for the groupie, there were live boys; for the men there were dead heroes. After all, the boy who mourns and honors the dead is transcend- ing carnality . . . and is expressing his depth and his authentic passion for the music.” But for all its bogus posturing and aca- demic pretensions, Supernatural Strategies is ultimately the work of one of the move- ment’s true believers, and might be read as a serious — some might say important — effort. As he puts it, Svenonius sees rock and roll as “a sort of expression that was smothered during the rational age of enlightenment,” or a form of primordial communication that addresses timeless ideas of community and collaborative ef- fort. “That explains its totally universal appeal. That’s why it’s like rediscovering fire, why it never gets old.” Ideology is grossly inefficient, and so it naturally goes overlooked in any profit- bearing career model, let alone one as competitive as the music business. The ones proferred in Supernatural Strategies, over a brisk 250 pages, analyze seemingly every facet of the industry as we know it, yet still might not get you any closer to the ultimate, unimpeachable goal of rock stardom. Some truly determined entre- preneurs out there might even subvert the author’s aim, finding Supernatural Studies to be a useful proxy for years of toil gigging the club circuit or conducting countless hours of stereo research. But however use- ful its readers might find it, this book is an event — because let’s face it, today’s rock and roll so often isn’t. ^ Supernatural StrategieS for Making a rock ’n’ roll group | by Ian Svenonius | 250 pages | Akashic Books | $14.95 | Svenoni- us reads, with a DJ set, January 27 @ 7:30 pm | at SPACE Gallery, 538 Congress St, Portland | 207.828.5600 | space538.org Are you A believer?

One of those conspiring to muck up the path is Ian Svenonius: writer, DJ, and frontman of DC post-punk groups the Make-Up, Nation of Ulysses, and now Chain and the Gang. In his new and uniquely comprehensive book, Supernatu- ral Strategies for Making a Rock ’n’ Roll Group, Svenonius invokes the black-magic art of the séance in revising rock history, resur- recting dead rock stars and long-buried ideological perspectives on the origins and exhibitions of the well-traveled form. Like a smoke bomb in a SXSW show- case, the ambitious project of Supernatural Strategies is to inject a spume of confusion into the staid, success-driven rock nar- rative of today, while serving as a quasi- mystical handbook for that rare musician still willing to take the long route. Writ- ten in a language couched in satire and anchored by years of experience, it is both a rigorous study of an elusive and endur- ing cultural art and a sobering critique of its many tortured machinations. And as the contemporary music landscape has been re-stratified by new technologies and contracted economies, it might even be particularly topical. As Svenonius told the Portland Phoenix in a tele- phone call, the book is a response to what he perceives as a shifting ethos in the music world. “It’s generally considered a positive development that rock and roll bands are becoming institutionalized,” he explains. “There are all these rock camps for kids now — they’re sponsored and fomented — and they’re filled with really practical knowl- edge about how to be in a band. It’s all laid out like a Petri dish, and that has profound implications on the form of rock and roll.” While those familiar with Svenonius’s musical endeavors will recognize the sé- ance as a stylistic conceit necessary to hurdle the threat of didacticism that can block such lofty concepts (see also the cheekily Marxian diatribes in Ulysses’ liner notes; his fey, soft-brewed James Brown impression fronting the Make-Up; or his squinty deadpan persona in the web series talk show Soft Focus), the shtick bet- ter allows him to reframe rock history as a politically fraught yet ultimately irresist- ible social development, a paradoxical sort of “hocus-pocus” that both liberates its followers from the tedium and technoc- racy of daily life while at the same time capitalizing on the worst traits of con- sumer culture. For the average rock fan, these ideas may sound exhausting, but such are the labors of séance. And it’s true; the lessons of Supernatural Strategies can sometimes feel born from more than the mind of one man. In its pages, Brian Jones decrees that “suffering is necessary to maintain the in- tegrity of the group as an ‘object.’” Mary Wells redresses that “the actual origin of ‘the group’ as we know it . . . is the urban street gang.” Paul McCartney — go with it — dissects the British Invasion by tell- ing us how “without the stain of slavery and oblivious to US race and class ten- sion, (Britishers) felt free to mimic their favorite records . . . (and) gained success by imitating American — usually black — rock ’n’ roll artists.” And Richard Berry conjures that “(s)ince the USA is a nation founded on the ideas of individualism, rebellion, evangelism, white supremacy, black slavery, expulsion of native peoples, expansionism, commerce, and industry, these values all play a part in the forma- tion of (its) primary and arguably great- est cultural export.” Each of these claims could supply an historian with a sizable research project, yet Svenonius, faithful to his muses, unpacks them in a mere few paragraphs before pressing on.

Some especially daring ones ask that question in real time — again and again and again. Peek in on their answers at the Brunswick cultural depot known as Frontier Café, where the New eNglaNd ImprovIsers orchestra bring the venue’s “Frontiers of Music” series into focus. 7 pm; by donation. 14 Maine St. in the Fort Andross Mill. 207.725.5222. DON’T TOUCH THE RED BUTTON | To use a disproportionately high- stakes analogy, today’s music- lovers might think of dubstep as previous generations observed the Cold War: a protracted, victimless war of attrition where allied forces battle a mysterious and alien other for the hearts and minds of its followers. It’s far from over, but the result of this one might diverge from historical precedent. Dubstep, particularly its more populist and unsubtle Western iterations, is a tireless and beguiling foe. Its devotees — who beget disorient- ing colors and aromas, rehearse their gesticulations in oversized uniforms, and seemingly only strike at night — appear legion, and have proven to be alarmingly adept at reproducing their thun- derous, unifying hymns in clever, almost imperceptible variations. As the day of reckoning approaches, one such chorale leader, the DJ/ producer known as phutureprImI- tIve from Portland, Oregon, rallies the local delegation tonight at the Empire Dine and Dance, with a set from the native, bass-driven producer of the trees. 9 pm; $12 at 575 Congress St. 207.879.8988. OH, YOU TWO! | Two boy-girl mu- sical projects of considerable ardor, the New York acoustic folk duo two tree and the immaculately restrained outland meditations of arborea, make an attractive pair- ing at Local Sprouts Cooperative. 7 pm; by donation at 649 Congress St. 207.899.3529. friday 25 AND WHAT A VOICE IT IS | The alto saxophonist and performer mataNa roberts turned many heads with her 2011 record COIN COIN Chapter One: Gens de couleur libres. The avant-jazz document represented her first forays into vocalizations — both linguistic and otherwise — and gave birth to many harrowing, poetic, and dizzyingly emotional images of the history of black life in America. Among other unforgettable mo- ments, the politically-charged album contains an a capella gospel blues chant reimagining a slave auction (“libation for Mr. Brown: Bid em in...”), a breathless respin- ning of Albert Ayler-style sax work (“rise”), and a heartwrenchingly bittersweet paean to the life’s work of the artist’s mother (“how much would you cost?”). COIN COIN is a contemporary masterpiece of sorts, and the Chicago-born Roberts, still coming into her own as a performer (her resume includes more formal solo records amid collaborations with Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Sticks and Stones, and TV on the Radio, among oth- ers), is a remarkably compelling draw to Bowdoin College tonight. She leads a sax masterclass at 2 and performs a work-in-progress concert piece called “Prologue” at 7:30 pm. Tickets are free (but reservations recommended) at the college’s Studzinski Recital Hall, Kanbar Auditorium. 207.798.4141. WAY UP THERE | The rise to prominence of Maine psych-rock band coke weed has been nothing short of remarkable. As if catching the US still in the insatiable binge of its post-Nirvana boom, the group busted out two haunting, velvety records in three years and scored a national gig opening for the Walkmen, all the while operating from Bar Harbor, which isn’t exactly the new Brooklyn. They’ve lately been chumming with the singular blues musician mIcah blue smaldoNe, whose folk compositions have evolved over the years from faithful delta ditties to mesmerizing long-form meditations on the macabre. They play sets both separate and to- gether (we’re told), along with the shapeshifting rock act aN eveNINg wIth. 9 pm; $6 at Empire Dine and Dance. READ THE SIGNS | A surfeit of symbolic terms collide so perfectly in Waterville that we can’t help but take note: the rock and roll Americana group called gIrls, guNs, aNd glory play a club called Mainely Brews. Might be the most time capsule-able show in recent memory. 9 pm; by donation at 1 Post Office Sq. 207.873.2457. VERY VERY LOCAL | The latest in a string of attractive shows at Mayo Street Arts, four of the re- gion’s most engaging, slow-burn- ing post-rock acts collect in defiant exhibition. Attend and you’ll get the delicate and ethereal songwork of lIsa/lIza; the heartache-y acoustic tales of wesley alleN hartley; the psych-folk of greg JamIe; and acId smoker, one man’s hypnagogic take on noisy no wave. 8 pm; $5 at 10 Mayo St. 207.615.3609. Down the street, there’s a show that might be this one’s kissing cousin. Avant-folk group sNaex (Chriss Sutherland and Christopher Teret) play with songwriters matt rock and Na- thaN salsburg, the latter known for his revenant early-folk record- ings and curatorship of the Alan Lomax Archive. 8 pm in — get this — Pistol Pete’s Upholstery Shop, 219 Anderson St. 207.671.7792. STRUm fOR THE HILLS | Re- surfacing above ground, we have the bluesy, soulful, feel-good rock musician martIN sextoN play- ing a show at the State Theatre.

WE fOUND OUT ABOUT THEm | It’s hardly newsworthy to report that most Americans aged 21 to 45 get a gIN blossoms song caught in their head 2.7 times per week (source redacted), but it might register as news to say that they like it. The long-tenured alt-rock band, author of the ’90s traditional “Hey Jealousy” and many others, play the Asylum tonight with local pop act worrIed well and crash boom baNg, new-breed rock funda- mentalists from DC. 9 pm; $29 at 121 Center St. 207.772.8274. GETTING OUTTA HAND | The pianist chrIstopher o’rIley, who made his mark in 2003 convert- ing Radiohead songs to plaintive, new age-y piano ballads (he’s since done similar with the work of El- liott Smith and Nick Drake, among others), exhibits his craftsmanship at the Franco American Heritage Center, 46 Cedar St. in Lewiston. $27 ($15 students under 18), 207.689.2000. sunday 27 mUSIC’S NOT fOR EVERYONE | While it’s rare to find the musi- cian and performer IaN sveNoNIus without at least some of his tongue wedged firmly into cheek, his new book Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock ’n’ Roll Group is a satisfying and seriously invigorating read (see this writer’s full review on page 12). He uncovers its themes in a sort of teach-in tonight at SPACE Gallery at 7:30, followed by a DJ set lasting until the magic runs out. NOT THAT BARD EITHER | An annual show of various talents col- lects to celebrate Robert Burns, the 18th-century Scottish lyricist of tremendous cultural import. Speak of “The Bard” in Scotland and expect not some bloated rejoinder on the greatness of Shakespeare, but instead a silent, lips-pursed nod of gratitude in the direction of this man. The Portland version of that, now running six years strong, contains performances by poets aNNIe fINch and betsy sholl, composer daN soNeNberg, piper ray scott, and Cape Breton band hIghlaNd soles. 2 pm; $15 at the Portland New Church, 302 Stevens Ave. 207.767.6396. monday 28 NOT THAT GENTLEmANLY | If Sunday’s Robert Burns celebration leaves Shakespeare devotees feeling rebuffed, they might counter with a pint at the Press Room, where Seacoast theater troupe Seven Stages Shakespeare Company put on a dramatic reading of Two GenTlemen of Verona at 6:30. 77 Daniel St. in Portsmouth, NH. 603.431.5186.

Filmmakers Cecily Pingree and Jason Mann’s award-winning appraisal of a Maine dairy-farming community’s resistance efforts screens for free at Local Sprouts Cooperative at 7 pm. tuEsday 29 THERE IS NO ENVIRONmENT | The New York Times made the controversial decision to shutter its Environmental section recently, folding the department’s seven re- porters and two editors into other parts of the paper. This happens despite findings that climate- change coverage has declined in national media outlets since 2009. One of those reporters is JustIN gIllIs, the writer who stewards the Green blog about energy and the environment, and who speaks at the College of the Atlantic’s Deer- ing Campus Center at 7 pm. 105 Eden St., Bar Harbor, 207.288.5015.

THE HEART Of THE COUNTRY | Because of the era we live in, the presentation of songwriter tIft merrItt has been glossed with a veneer of “indie,” but it’s dyed- in-the-wool alt-country. It’s also quite good, incorporating doses of southern belle charisma, morosely poetic torch songs, and a literary quality resembling Joni Mitchell or Emmylou Harris.

The paintings are terrific and the big, first-floor gallery at the Portland Mu- seum of Art has never looked better. This is Dodd’s first career retrospective, and it is long overdue. There are more than 50 paintings that span 60 years. Ma- ny are large, the quality is uniformly high, and her method, while it has evolved over the years, has remained steady and consis- tent. Early in her career she found a way to work that suited her own needs and ful- filled her understanding of what art was about, and has followed it ever since with remarkable focus and clarity. I’ve been a fan of Dodd’s for many years, and I’m in good company. She’s had a regular and appreciative audience of crit- ics and other artists who love her work and sometimes learn from her way of seeing, or from her decades-long faith in her rela- tionship to her own vision, or from both. It would be no surprise to see a steady stream of visitors from New York and far- ther coming to Portland for this show. Dodd began her showing career in the early 1950s, right around the high-water mark of New York School abstraction. At the time, modernist ideas had coalesced into something of an imperative toward abstraction, but there were a number of artists who felt that the sense of place and implicit narrative of representation still had powerful valence. There was no going back after the reiterative self-awareness of Cézanne, Malevich, Eliot, Joyce, and Mondrian A brilliAnt exAmple _by Ken Greenleaf lois DoDD’s first career retrospective showcases a briGht abstractionist established conclusively that art was about the relationship between artist and viewer, and not about the subject. But a number of artists felt there was power in the relationship of the artist not so much to the subject, but to the subjective nature of the moment in its presence, and to the act of seeing it. Every day, even in the same spot, is different. Among those art- ists were Fairfield Porter, Alex Katz, Neil Welliver, and, especially, Lois Dodd. Many of them came to Maine from New York for part of the year, and in, say, the 1970s, one could easily walk into a 57th Street gallery and spot a recognizable scene from Lincolnville. But it wasn’t about the scene as subject as much as it was about the artist’s pres- ence at a place as an event. Dodd picks out subjects that will make a painting that reso- nates with her own interests. The rest is up to the viewer, who will take away their own, possibly rather different, experience, not of the place but of the painting. Process is of very little value when dis- cerning an artist’s thinking, but method is useful. The famous William Carlos Wil- liams dictum “No ideas but in things” is at work here. In this show we can take a few of the formal outliers as a entry point for apprehending the pervasive, and inter- esting, underlying thinking that informs Dodd’s whole body of work. Take, for instance the tall, skinny “Woods, 1975” — 14 feet tall by three wide. The white house and yard in the bottom third are framed by tall thin spruce trunks that occupy the whole of the painting, and most of its area is filled by the trees’ art crisscrossing horizontal branching. There is only one reason for such an unlikely framing arrangement: Dodd spotted it, liked it, and worked up the shape and size because she thought it would be interest- ing. It is. Dodd’s color range can be complex and broad, but one particular painting, “Red Gladioli, 2005,” stands as an outer bound- ary of how she works with color. The back- ground is in mostly greens, representing the foliage and stems of the plants. The blossoms, which course up through the painting moving slightly to the left, are brightly and unquestionably red, comple- mentary in a way that makes the image visually unstable. It’s pretty big, four feet high by two wide, and cropped to provide little detail about the subject. This one vibrates and grabs you from a distance — a trick of the color, so to speak. Dodd’s color is strong and coherent, and the effect of this whole group together has a kind of luminosity that suggests the shows title actually makes sense, an exhibitional rarity. She doesn’t choose a subject because it’s inherently interest- ing or luminous; she picks it because she can make what she sees into a compel- ling painting, and that makes the subject interesting. It’s light created, more than light depicted. It’s a subtle but important distinction. The regular geometries of “Door, Stair- case, 1981” and the color fields of “Burn- ing House, Night, Vertical, 2007” and the implied domes of “Cow Parsnip, 1996” are worth looking at because of what she has made of them. She discovers, or uncov- ers, the poetic resonance of her subject. We know it exists because she can see it and has the skills to make it available to others. We like these paintings because of what they are, rather than for what they show us. The ideas are in the things, and they are good ideas. Picture after picture, Dodd’s penetrating pictorial intelligence shows through. They are thought out as pictures in the moment of their execution, not as demonstrations of a pre-conceived thesis. The kinds of things she thinks about could only be done as what they are. The modernist reality of the awareness of the artificiality of any work of art coupled with the emotional and subjective aware- ness of place and circumstance result in a deep philosophical verity. These paintings are very real and very personal. The modernist idea was born in Europe but grew up in the US. Dodd’s paintings, in that sense, are very American. Now in her mid-80s, Dodd has quietly worked her way through a long and productive career without the fanfare and argument that have been characteristic of many of her peers. She is still at the top of her game, and this exhibition shows she has been there for many years. ^ “LOIS DODD: CATCHING THE LIGHT” | at the Portland Museum of Art, 7 Congress Sq, Port- land | through April 7 | portlandmuseum.org ‘RED VINE AND BLANKET, 1979’ New Year, New You Bh akt i in Motion • Yoga • Meditation • Dance • Play • Healing Arts • Studio Rental 155 Brackett st Portland • www.bhaktinmotion.com • 207.233.0966 Contact Improv, Barefoot Boogies, Improvisation, Modern Dance, Kids Hip Hop & more Yoga for Your Life!

Making the world a better place, pose by pose. 20 January 25, 2013 | the portland phoenix | portland.thephoenix.com f Not too long into Ben-gal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, most of the characters pacing the stage are either dead, near death, or inti- mate enough with it to see ghosts. In an immediately post-Saddam Baghdad, vi- olence and chaos are daily tangibles, and the dead are never truly gone. Between the deeds of a tyrant, two soldiers, a translator, and a tiger, playwright Rajiv Joseph weaves together potent and discomfiting threads in his Pulitzer Prize-nominated drama, produced by Mad Horse Theatre Company under the direction of Nathan Speckman. The agonies here are thick and myriad. Disturb- ingly simple-minded US Marine Kev (Jake Cote) wants pussy, but he also aches to have any kind of friend in fellow Marine Tom (Evan Dalzell). Tommy, however, is preoccupied with protecting his war spoils, a gold-plated semi-automatic and a gold toilet seat looted from Saddam’s dead son Uday (Brent Askari). Tom’s reluctant Arabic inter- preter, Musa (Mark Rubin), once worked as a garden artist for Uday, whom he had every reason to loathe; now he’s disgusted by the ignorant self-interest of his new American boss. Finally, the Tiger (Tootie Van Reenen) — only recently shipped to Baghdad and pretty pissed off about it, and shot by Kev in the very first scene — philosophizes remorse- fully on his life as a killer and the God that made it so. Cote’s unsettling Kev has the most nu- ance and the best-dramatized arc in Bengal Tiger, a play whose characters are sometimes difficult to invest in, perhaps partly because of the allegorical flavor of the script. But Kev inspires a dramatically convincing am- bivalence. Even early on, as he’s creepily ob- sessed with shooting animals and “getting his dick wet,” his deep need for human con- nection is a poignant source of sympathy. There are plenty of reasons to despise his col- league Tom, but it’s harder to crack into this gold-looter’s anguish. In Dalzell’s hands, Tom’s barking aggression nicely bespeaks cultural arrogance and a desperation under- lying it; I’d like to see him brought closer to a more vulnerable breaking point. Askari pulls out the stops in his inimi- table, sarcasm-dripping fashion, portraying an eminently despicable Uday. His psycho- pathic, faux-jovial tormenting of Rubin’s sympathetic, subtle Musa is dark and often quite graphic stuff, and I only wish that the script had employed a little more economy in presenting this relationship: the drawing out of even verbal torture certainly heightens the agony of the victim, but an audience can be presented with only so much sadistic CASUALTIES OF WAR The living evidence of terror and pain. Caging the tiger _by Megan gruMbling Mad Horse puTs on a searing puliTzer-noMinaTed iraq war play imagery and whimpering before we begin to become desensitized. As the Tiger, and as a “guy” tiger at that, Van Reenen is a bit of an odd choice. On Broadway, the role was played by Robin Wil- liams, whose usual barely-contained kinetic energy was probably put to good use as a dangerously constrained cat. Van Reenen hits the Tiger’s wry, languishing anomie compellingly, but could do more to evoke the beast’s frustrated strength and sinews — perhaps in a blocking that better utilized the show’s in-the-round staging to help dra- matize the Tiger’s and others’ philosophical anguish. The writing is both sensational and ex- pository. “The tiger keeps talking about epis- temology and original sin,” complains Kev to Tom, “and it’s annoying as fuck.” It kind of is, sometimes: while the ideas that these characters grapple with — the perpetuation of violence, the relation of the living and the dead — are of vital importance, it’s tiring to hear them told rather than shown, as when Kev mulls, “What happens now that I am aware of and sensitive to the universe?” That said, Joseph writes a few arrestingly lovely, painful, fraught details, and Speck- man and his actors handle them beautifully. One is when an Iraqi prostitute (Allison McCall) inspects Tom’s “bionic hand” and sweetly, candidly laughs to Musa in Arabic that it “smells like milk” — a detail some- how at once humane and deeply strange, and reprised later to haunting effect. Such small details best let us feel the enormity of these creatures’ immeasurable horrors, as well as their glints of absolution. ^ Bengal Tiger aT The Baghdad Zoo | by Rajiv Joseph | Directed by Nathan Speckman | Pro- duced by Mad Horse Theatre Company | though February 3 | 207.730.2389 theater Looking for Love in Biddo New paintings & old favorites by NANCY KURETH At the OAK & the AX 140 Main St. Suite 107 in Biddeford Opening Friday, January 25 5:00-9:00 887 Forest Ave. Portland, ME 04103 (207)773-8808 Open 7 days a week BEER • WINE • SPIRITS Why do people THINK I’m a wine EXPERT, when I’m REALLY a wine IDIOT?

Set in Old Orchard Beach over the course of a summer, Strangers on the Beach is Pahigian’s first work of fiction; the part- time University of New England writing professor has previously written several books about baseball. It’s an impressive debut. This suspenseful thriller, imbued with local flavor (settings include Old Orchard Beach landmarks such as The Brunswick and Beach Bagels), is a page- turner with short, snappy chapters that often end in cliffhangers. It would make a great beach read, come to think of it. Pahigian introduces the reader to a diverse and well-drawn cast of characters, including wealthy foreign adventurer Ferdinand Sevigny, whose arrival in town sets off a deadly chain of events; his beau- tiful younger mistress, Marisol, who has hidden motivations of her own; Billy, the teenaged son of a local alcoholic who simply wants to escape his bleak life; and Sally, a mentally challenged older woman who sees much but says little. All their lives, and more, become intertwined on an early-summer evening before the in- flux of tourists arrives. Skepticism of outsiders — those who are from away as well as those who live outside of accepted boundaries —is a theme explored throughout the book. Of course, the central plot relies on the con- cept of foreign invaders, a/k/a strangers, disrupting a sleepy summer town set in its routines. Additionally, there are several places where Pahigian (who currently lives in Buxton but formerly lived and worked in OOB) makes sharp observations about tensions between locals and tourists, and this undertone of mistrust courses through the novel. It’s Sevigny who is the catalyst for the action — his boat and belongings that wash ashore, prompting in- terest from local law enforcement and inter- national paparazzi, his girlfriend who shows up all but naked on Pine Point Beach, his nephew who attempts to involve young Billy in a murder- ous scheme. Appropriate- ly, the reader learns Se- vigny’s true story in bits and pieces, much as one would by asking around at coffee shops and bars. Painted as larger-than- life at the start, and gradually becoming more sympathetic, Sevigny is an intriguing protagonist in a classic stranger- comes-to-town tale. Despite a gripping plot and smooth writing, there are several sections that would have benefitted from a bit more showing, and little less telling. Particularly, Pahigian has a tendency to overexplain his characters’ emotional rea- soning. Consider this passage: “Marisol did not identify her lover by name, but she told the girls she’d been swept off her feet and taken away,” Pa- higian writes. “She told them he’d been twice her age, and that he’d taken her all over the world. But in time she’d grown lonely and resentful. He’d told her where to go, and how to act, and she’d never had any real say in anything. She’d begun to feel like a kept woman, like she was just there for his pleasure.” Compelling complexity, to be sure, but the reader already knows much of this from earlier scenes. It’s almost like the non-fiction author in Pahigian wants to make absolutely sure his readers un- derstand what’s going on in his fictional characters’ heads — but perhaps he could trust his audience more. Still, none of his interpretations or explanations are off- base, so this quibble is minor. Strangers on the Beach is at its core a very self-contained thriller, leaving few loose ends in its wake. We are left with the impression that even after the Sevigny shake-up, the townies, the year-rounders, will resume their routines in short order. They will be perfectly happy to let the waves wash away the brief, if exciting, in- trusion, and to relish the quiet of winter, when fewer strangers come around. ^ StrangerS on the Beach | by Josh Pahi- gian | 282 pages | Islandport Press | $22.95 | Josh Pahigian reads January 30 @ 6:30 pm at McArthur Public Library, 207 Main St, Bid- deford | February 7 @ 7 pm at North Gorham Public Library, 2 Standish Neck Rd, Gorham | February 9 @ 2 pm at Thomas Memorial Library, 6 Scott Dyer Rd, Cape Elizabeth | all readings are free CoMBING ThE DoRCh Local author Josh Pahigian digs mystery in the sands.

F When the music you make fits no social or historical milieu whatsoever, you know you’re on to something. this is the juncture that multi-in- strumentalist RobeRt Stillman finds himself at upon release of the new long-player Station Wagon Interior Perspective (A Requiem for John Fahey). With the record, the portland-born musi- cian takes on the specter (or “spectre,” perhaps — Stillman’s a Briton now) of the american primi- tive guitarist with many instrumental arrange- ments — not one of them involving guitar. Why such deviation from the form? Because though it may appear like a parlor trick, such tortuous routes are necessary to charm and seduce a ghost, especially one as famously curmudgeonly as Fahey. the album, issued locally as a 10-inch on apohadion RecoRdS under the name rob- ert Stillman and the archaic Future players, is a fuzzily familiar mix of pre-jazz american folk, lurching brass toots, and skeletal sound-collage. it’s a creative retelling of a music legend, and one that won’t prompt its spectral muse to emerge from the spiritual plane to issue a corrective. Or so we hope! unearth this particular wax at theapohadion.wordpress.com. F We’ve been meaning to ask: do you drone? yeah, us too. and lately we’ve been doing so, in small doses, with indRe StyRke, a dark ambi- ent project of rural Ghosts’ frontman erik neil- son. the demo track “Good morning Sun” falls somewhere between the meditations of robert rich and a psychotically Twin Peaks-y new age bliss. Will Finest Times, the project’s promised full-length, follow suit? and when? From the mouth of the poet f The delivery is primal, shouted: “I’m as blue as blood before the blood goes red.” It is just one more reminder late in Lady Lamb the Beekeeper’s debut album, Ripely Pine, that she is no meek Lamb to be led around, but rather Queen Bee, very much a force of nature. If you’ve even glanced at Aly Spaltro’s photo (she’s the band, all by herself or otherwise), or seen her five-foot-nothing figure out in public, you know as soon as you hear the opening “Hair to the Ferris Wheel” that she summons her arresting voice from someplace seemingly outside herself, like her spirit is wearing a body three sizes too small. The first bars simmer, moody with a spare electric guitar that will come to seem like Lady Lamb’s fifth limb, and her voice has no huskiness that might indicate even an extra effort to get so low. “Love is selfish,” she leers, “love goes tick tock tick/And love knows Jesus/Apples and oranges.” What the fuck that means I don’t really care because the care with which she lets each word drop is exact- ing, like she’s mulling them over, unsure about them, wanting to view them from every angle, inside and out. Spaltro does this throughout the al- bum, sometimes seeming to actually move in with certain phrases, living with them for months before setting them free. But then, after just a hint of clicking static, late enough in a long song that you’ve forgotten it might happen, there it, sinking her teeth to the gums. Somehow, there’s a bass like a dance track, an old-school soul delivery with energy like Spaltro’s unhinged. Seriously. Listen to the mocking “ha, ha, ha, ha” that helps close the truly rocking “Bird Balloons,” which is otherwise like 6gig with rounded edges, plus a hip-hop bra- vado: “I’m a ghost and you all know it/I’m singing songs and I ain’t slowin’.” And is that Dr. Dre programming the strings af- ter the tempo change into a strut? But we’re talking unhinged. How about “I still need your teeth in my organs” as a repeated lament? It’s what drives “You Are the Apple,” a jazz-punk tune that features a sneaky three-note guitar riff and stalker vamp. She’s magnesium on fire, but you never want to look away. After years of living only with her first demos done in a home set-up, the amount of volume and body Brooklyn-based pro- ducer Nadim Issa delivers from such sparse arrangements (all done by Spaltro) is just so satisfying. It’s every bit an artist com- ing into her own. To see this executed with a full band — to reportedly include bass, drums, trumpets, trombone, violins, viola, cello, tuba, clarinet, keyboards, autoharp, and a choir (maybe not all at once) — will be pretty special, indeed. Often enough, though, Spaltro proves she doesn’t need much accompaniment at all. “Regarding the Ascending Stairs” is a banjo tune like Abigail Washburn’s sorta-goth sister, where you can hear her walk in, sit down, and begin to play, and the sentiment is like this: “You handle me like an infant skull/And I cradle you like a newborn nightmare.” After a whole song’s worth of patience, a playful electric bass line pops in, along with a tambourine. It fades and comes back even better, integrated with the ban- jo plucking so that they bounce off each other like helium atoms in a balloon. How is this woman only 23? Her feel for dynamics, depth of feeling, and general grace are pretty special. To think that this is just the beginning? That’s fairly exciting. ^ Ripely pine | Released by lady lamb the beekeeper | on ba da bing Records, Feb 19 | at Space Gallery, in portland | march 2 | lady- lambthebeekeeper.com A LIoneSS of A LAdy LAMb The Powerful debuT: Ripely pine is a full rock entrance: “It’s a zoo in your room ... and you long to kiss like you won’t exist come the morningtime.” The drums come in rapid-fire bursts and then there is a muscular and grungy distorted guitar solo before we’re alternately ca- ressed and slapped by a cappella vocals and staccato bursts of guitar. From that point forward, you’re on notice to be on your toes. In songs that often sprawl out past five minutes, and sometimes build in chambers of backing strings and horns, Lady Lamb will take you wherever her muse leads and it’s nigh impossible not to follow. “Rooftop” is the “single,” released first to the public as though for a radio station that doesn’t exist, a compact three min- utes. It’s probably the catchiest out of the gate, with a quick snare keeping things lively and an indie-rock plinking of notes moving up and down the fretboard as a central message. But then are there trom- bones that bleed in, just a scratch of high- up fiddle, then a full-on string section laying a backing bed, even clanking pots and pans for God’s sake, so much going on that it’s nearly overwhelming. Overwhelming is Spaltro’s stock and trade. Hearing her live, even if only on the Live at Brighton Music Hall album that was just kind of given life and let wander on the Internet last year, you’ll find she may be even more strident and invested than she is here in the studio, taking a song like “Aubergine” and burying her face in FWAX TAbLeT WAXTAbleT@PhX.cOm Often enough, Spaltro proves she doesn’t need much accompaniment at all. F there’s a debate raging in the Wax Tablet offices about which is more colorful: the sun- shine-and-lollipops imagery of inaugural poet richard Blanco’s “one today,” or the sparkling new video for Jaw GemS’ “Star Visor.” it’s heat- ed. Some are in thrall to Blanco’s lyrical paean to “finishing one more report for the boss on time” and testament to building the “last floor of the Freedom tower.” others are more passionate about the imaginative stanzas of tyler Quist and hassan muhammad’s synth lines. Some quiver at Blanco’s rendering of “one moon like a silent drum tapping on every rooftop;” others at the stilted, jittery meter of dJ moore’s drumwork. Some line up to salute the poet’s “rhythm of traffic lights, fruit stands: apples, limes, and oranges arranged like rainbows begging our praise(,)” while others can’t pull themselves away from the drippily kaleidoscopic visuals of direc- tors Jay Brown and paul mihailoff.

A hysterical, off-beat comedy. Versatile performers Tom Ford and Dustin Tucker –both West Texas natives – team up to play over 20 of Tuna’s eccentric inhabitants, from gun-clubbers to church ladies, in a quick-changing two-man tour-de-force that celebrates and satirizes the quirks of small-town life.

And Zen is getting many little things right: The sour soup, too of- ten an afterthought, has been given some care. It has a real sour zing and the bite of fresh scallion. Even a ramekin of sweet house-made duck sauce was a pleasant surprise, as it was cloudy with the pulp of actual fruit. Zen has a chatty owner, usually be- hind the bar. He will give you work-out tips, and perhaps lead you to off- menu dishes once you are a regular. I wouldn’t be surprised if the best dishes are there, since someone in the kitchen knows their stuff. Zen, the concept, is about the elimi- nation of suffering, and if we patronize quality Chinese places like Zen, or China Taste across town, it might go some way toward eliminating the incen- tive for cruel labor prac- tices at some other Chinese spots in Maine. ^ Our Ratings $ = $15 or less $$ = $16-$22 $$$ = $23-$30 $$$$ = $31 and up Based on average entrée price MOvie Review Dining Review dinner + movie The koan of Chinese food Where can We find our moment of Zen? _By Brian duff f It seems every time I check out a promising new Chinese place in Portland, federal officials arrest someone at a dismal Chinese restaurant elsewhere in Maine (this week it was the Twin Super Buffet in Brewer that was raided by the feds). Is this the Chinese-food uni- verse maintaining some kind of spiritual balance? Is it karma? In this case it’s Zen. Zen Chinese Bistro to be exact, which has taken over the west-Old Port space formerly occupied by District. Zen the concept is not about transcen- dence, but rather about deepening the quality of our worldly presence. Zen the Chinese Bistro is not exactly transcendent, but it does enhance the quality of Chinese cuisine in Portland. The menu does not veer far from the beaten path of American- ized-Chinese, but it executes those classic dishes well, with fresh ingredients. That is enough to put Zen among the upper tier of Chinese restaurants in town. In taking the space over from District, they have not changed it much. There is minimal Asian kitsch. Downstairs is the same bar, with dark wood, black leather booths, and a few tables. And they are taking the bar seriously: they have a nice Asian-tinged cocktail list, some good beer on draft, and a genuine wine list. Upstairs they have brightened the large dining room a bit, mostly with a vibrant blue paint. Many dishes at this sort of restaurant depend on the quality of the brown sauce that forms the base for so many entrées. Zen has a good one: neither too thick nor too thin, with a nice base of garlic and soy. It’s used to good effect in a number of dishes, like Hunan beef, where it had a mild chili heat. It coated big tender pieces of meat and diced veggies — piping hot from the wok, but still with plenty of crunch. The same basic sauce was leant a sharper garlic bite and more aggressive pepper heat in a dish of vegetables with garlic sauce. Cashew chicken started with a different, lighter, sauce that offered a nice balance of sugars and heat. There were plenty of springy button mushrooms, along with a crunchy mix of celery, carrots, and green bell peppers that were on the edge of red, and thus not too bitter. Sesame chicken was sweet but not candy-sweet like you often get, and the breading stayed crisp rather than getting sauce-soaked. An udon noodle dish was good as well. The noodles were soft but not mushy, and the pork tender. The dish had that sort of mildness that isn’t bland, but allows the quieter umami flavors of onion and mush- $ ZEN CHINESE BISTRO | 45 Danforth St, Portland | 11:30 am-10:30 pm (bar open later weekends) Visa/MC/Amex/Disc | 207.775.6888 outstanding excellent good average poor xxxx xxx xx x z FShort Takes movie reviews in brief xxxw gRegORY CRewDSOn: BRieF enCOUnTeRS 77 minutes | pma movies Photographer Gregory Crewdson makes pictures that do every- thing a movie does except move. Focused on the depressed towns of Western Massachusetts, he puts together a meticulously detailed scene, engages a crew of up to 60, arranges dozens of lights, waits for the right mo- ment, snaps the photo, and then subjects it to a rigorous post- production process. When they succeed, the images transcend the lower-class world that is their subject and touch on an otherworldliness reminiscent of David Lynch, Edward Hopper, or Andrei Tarkovsky. Ben Shapiro shot this documentary over 10 years and not only achieves a portrait of the artist but also captures the artistic process itself, following Crewdson from initial inspiration to finished product. “It’s a sign,” Crewdson says when a garbage picker mys- teriously appears on a somber street scene in Lee, Massachu- setts, perfecting the shot. Just one more epiphany in a body of work that shimmers with im- manent revelation. _peter Keough xx HYDe PARK On HUDSOn 94 minutes | eveninGstar + railroad sQuare + wells Lurking beneath Hyde Park on Hud- son, the latest film to repurpose historical icons for Oscar-bait melodrama, is a screwball com- edy trying desperately to break though.

Not for lack of trying, though, as burly gumshoe and disgraced ex-cop Billy Tag- gart (Mark Wahlberg) initiates a creaky, convoluted plot by taking 50 grand from lubri- cious New York mayor Hostetler (Russell Crowe) to find out who’s shtupping Hizzoner’s wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Before you can say Noah Cross, Billy finds himself drawn into a maelstrom of corruption, shady real estate deals, extor- tion, murder, and half-baked dialogue. This, plus the ordeal of watching his actress wife get humped in an “indie” movie, drives the recovering alcoholic Taggert back to the Jameson bottle, allowing Wahlberg to stir from his inertia and draw on his explosive physicality. Mean- while, director Allen Hughes tries to be “indie” himself by pointlessly circling the camera around random scenes. Jeffrey Wright distinguishes himself in the star-heavy cast as the mor- ally ambiguous police commis- sioner; for his reward he gets the best line in the film. _peter Keough time fretting about the social implications of being served hot dogs at a picnic. The First Lady (Olivia Williams) spends her time debating whether it’s impo- lite to refer to Her Royal High- ness as “Elizabeth.” Sometimes it’s all played for droll, knowing laughs. But most of the time it feels like an SNL sketch with all the punchlines removed. _Jake mulligan Broken City ATTENTION TO DETAIL often an afterthought at other restaurants, Zen’s sour soup is made with care. 2.7 Barrington Levy w Mighty Mystic & Soul Rebel Project 2.17 Punch Brothers 2.6 Jukebox The Ghost 2.16 The Dunwells 1.25 Private Event Book your next event at PCMH Just Added 2.28 Talib Kweli FRIDAY 1/25 SATURDAY 1/26 FRIDAY 2/1 WHEN PARTICLES COLLIDE PRESENTS GREEN DAY/DOOKIE SLY-CHI W/ EYENINE MAMA’S BOOMSHACK PRESENTS PARLIAMENT/MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION 6TH ANNUAL RUCKUS CUP MC BATTLE LYLE DIVINSKY & THE VELVET VAGABONDS / THE NAT OSBORN BAND w/ ALICIA LEMKE JAN 29 JAN 25 JAN 26 FEB 01 FEB 02 $5 COVER Tuesday nights!

Full moons are useful for taking a crisis to a breaking point, or bringing random people together to make a “team.” Since this moon is in child-centered Leo, you may find an urge to procreate somehow blends with a desire to get a whole new set of toys (hey, it happens). If you need to make a decision, and you feel it’s all too confusing right now, you do have another two weeks until the new moon, when deci- siveness comes more easily. For more, visit moonsigns. net or friend me as “Symboline Dai” on Facebook. thursday january 24 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Waxing moon in cancer. protection and defense are today’s themes, particularly for cancer, Scorpio, aries, libra, capricorn, and pisces — you folks may feel the walls aren’t high enough to shield you. taurus, Virgo, Gemini, aquarius, Sagittarius, and leo may feel a domestic urge, and a recipe that requires complicated ingredients will be more ap- pealing than usual. however, the homebody instinct will prevail for all! Friday january 25 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Waxing moon in cancer; moon void-of-course 3:35 pm until 9:20 am Saturday. We should have a term for the “light of the moon,” the day before the full moon when everything’s a little nuts. Big fat cancer moons generally signify turf-wars. “Where’s mine?” comes naturally to many, particularly cancer, Scorpio, aries, libra, capricorn, and pisces. Sensitive yet insightful could be the default mode for taurus, Virgo, Gemini, aquarius, Sagittarius, and leo. saturday january 26 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Full moon in leo; moon void-of-course in cancer before 9:20 am. have a new year’s party now! also a fine day for promoting your- self and/or acting like a child. how about having fun with your toys? are you still charmed by what Santa left under the tree? moon and mars are at odds, so domesticity and bliss may be at odds, particularly for aquari- us, taurus, and Scorpio. Gemini, cancer, leo, Virgo, libra, aries, capri- corn, pisces, and Sagittarius: speak up for what you need. sunday january 27 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Waning moon in leo. another fine day for an impromptu party. leo, taurus, Scorpio, and aquarius: what’s up with your exercise regimen? talk is cheap, and gym memberships are cheaper. Gemini, can- cer, leo, Virgo, libra, aries, capricorn, pisces, and Sagittarius: take action if you feel confined. others will admire you for it. leo moons bring out the boasting impulse, which can be amusing to behold. Monday january 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Waning moon in leo; moon void-of-course 11:59 am until 6:27 pm, when it moves into Virgo. an all-day void-of-course moon makes for missing information, misfiled data, and communication confusion, particularly for taurus, Gemini, Scorpio, Sagittarius, aquar- ius, and pisces. however, there’s excellent ingredients for a “do-over” for cancer, leo, Virgo, libra, capricorn, and aries. tuesday january 29 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Waning moon in Virgo. personally, i find Virgo moons useful (de- spite the phase) for cleaning and organizing. Seeing what you don’t need, or what you can live without, is a good exercise today. Finding fault with others’ microscopic errors is far more fun that facing huge gaps in one’s own understanding. Virgo’s insights are worth listening to — even on a Friday. pisces, self-doubt is natural right now. taurus and capricorn: enjoy being efficient, even if your tasks take longer than anticipated. Wednesday january 30 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Waning moon in Virgo; moon void-of-course 8:59 pm until 1:36 am thursday. Jupiter moves direct. an evening void-of-course moon means you may doubt your judgment, but during the day, follow your in- stincts, even if you’re going to monkey with others’ choices (“you’re wear- ing that again?”). moving in circles is safer than forward momentum into “the void.” cancer, leo, Virgo, libra, Scorpio, taurus, capricorn, aries, aquarius: finish the project. pisces, Gemini, and Sagittarius: pay attention to interruptions, which may save you from a poor choice. jonesin’ _by Matt Jones Moonsigns _by syMboline Dai Back page Moon Keys This horoscope traces the passage of the moon, not the sun. Simply read from day to day to watch the moon’s influence as it moves through the signs of the zodiac. | When the moon is in your sun sign, you are beginning a new 28-day emotional cycle, and you can expect increased insight and emotionality. When the moon moves into the sun sign opposite yours (see below), expect to have difficulties dealing with the opposite sex, family, or authority figures; social or romantic activities will not be at their best. | When the moon is in Aries, it opposes Libra, and vice versa. Other oppositions are Taurus/Scorpio, Gemini/Sagittarius, Cancer/Capricorn, Leo/Aquarius, and Virgo/Pisces. The moon stays in each sign approximately two and a half days. | As the moon moves between signs, it will sometimes become “void of course,” making no major angles to planets. Consider this a null time and try to avoid making or implementing decisions if you can. But it’s great for brainstorming. | For Symboline Dai’s sun-sign horoscopes and advice column, visit our Web site at thePhoenix.com. Symboline Dai can be reached at sally@moonsigns.net.

Backed by the frothers at the NRA, who engage in the sort of head-scratching counter-logic that even a first-grader could see through, gun advocates are mak- ing all the wrong arguments for all the wrong reasons. No, people asking for stricter gun laws are not coming to pry your weapons from your cold, dead hands. They are making sure the psycho next door who lives in his parents’ basement and dresses up in camouflage outfits to play vio- lent video games all day long can’t get his hands on an assault rifle. While P&J wouldn’t let even a derringer in Casa Diablo, because we know we’d find a way to blow our noses off, we are friendly with many gun owners. And those we know are more sane and cautious than your average bear. They respect what a handgun or hunting rifle can do. They are al- most all ex-military or ex-law en- forcement, after all. Many have been on the wrong end of a gun barrel at some point, so they take the subject very seriously. Oh, and as far as we know, they take handguns, not Uzis, to target practice. Not-so-jockular And now we go to the toy depart- ment . . . sports. HOW ’BOUT THeM PATs?!? | At Phillipe and Jorge’s health club Monday morning, all the talk in the locker room was about the Pa- triots depressing performance in the AFC Championship game the day before. Reaction ranged from disbelief to an acknowledgement that perhaps Tom Brady and the boys weren’t all they were cracked up to be. If there was an organ by the showers playing funeral music, it would have fit right in. P&J don’t believe in that kind of overreaction. Our solution is simply to fire that fraud Bill Belichick and trade Brady and his favorite wide receiver, Wes Welker. We have e-mailed this astute advice to Patriots owner Bob Kraft, and are expecting a re- sponse any minute now. sTAN THe MAN | If you are of a certain age, and P&J passed it awhile ago, every kid on the block knew who you were talking about when you said “stan the Man.” That would be Mr. Musial, the st. Louis Cardinals three-time MVP and seven-time National League batting champ who passed away last week. stan the Man had some advan- tages. For the bulk of his career, the Cardinals were the western- most team in baseball, and their games were broadcast widely across that section of the country beyond the Mississippi and in the south. That had something to do with his popularity. But it was more than that. Unlike most of today’s athletes (and P&J would love to see how many current ma- jor leaguers know who Musial was — take the under at about five per- cent) he was about as soft-spoken, dignified, and revered as a small- town pastor. Despite his destruction of Phil- lipe’s beloved Philadelphia Phil- lies, P. had a Musial figurine in his bedroom. He hoped to be the next incarnation of “The Man.” As you may have guessed, that idea didn’t work out too well. Nor did becoming the new elvis. RIP, stan the Man, there won’t be another. LANCe THe BOIL | While the media is piling on disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong, disgruntled reader D.B. tells P&J that he sees things quite differently. A Tour de France fan who is no great fan of France, our friend believes Arm- strong simply thrashed the eu- rotrash at their own game — dop- ing and getting away with it, at least until now. employing Croco- dile Dundee reasoning (“You think that’s a knife? This is a knife!”), he says Armstrong should be consid- ered a hero — the embodiment of cheating at its All-American best. souNd familiar? From the January 13 edition of the British magazine Private Eye, comes word of another “Phoenix” rising at the University of Glam- organ in Wales: “When students at the Univer- sity of Glamorgan launched an in- dependent newspaper, the Phoenix, the university was happy to cham- pion it on its website, no doubt in the hope of enticing new students to several journalism courses. “However, the university man- agement (unlike the lecturers) hadn’t counted on the students at the Phoenix actually acting like journalists and covering stories. The inaugural edition published a bread and butter piece about the university missing out on millions of pounds of fees after it failed to attract as many new students as it had expected. The young hacks also threw a couple of awkward questions in the direction of the PR department. “Furious bosses told the stu- dents they could face ‘disciplinary action’ if they printed stories that ‘damage (or potentially damage) the university’s reputation.’ “Phoenix editor ellen Coyne said she felt the stories were being regarded as ‘some kind of bizarre treason.’ so much for the claim in the university prospectus that ‘the journalist’s job is to act as the eyes and ears of the public.’ evidently they can watch or lis- ten, so long as they don’t see or hear anything important.” a Visit with Bill On Monday, Jorge went to Con- necticut to see old friend Bill Flana- gan. If you’re an old Vo Dilunduh, you’ll remember Bill as one of the music writers at the forerunner of the Providence Phoenix, the NewPa- per. If you really know your stuff, you know that his father was the founder of CCRI, for whom the Lin- coln campus is named.

Backed by the frothers at the NRA, who engage in the sort of head-scratching counter-logic that even a first-grader could see through, gun advocates are mak- ing all the wrong arguments for all the wrong reasons. No, people asking for stricter gun laws are not coming to pry your weapons from your cold, dead hands. They are making sure the psycho next door who lives in his parents’ basement and dresses up in camouflage outfits to play vio- lent video games all day long can’t get his hands on an assault rifle. While P&J wouldn’t let even a derringer in Casa Diablo, because we know we’d find a way to blow our noses off, we are friendly with many gun owners. And those we know are more sane and cautious than your average bear. They respect what a handgun or hunting rifle can do. They are al- most all ex-military or ex-law en- forcement, after all. Many have been on the wrong end of a gun barrel at some point, so they take the subject very seriously. Oh, and as far as we know, they take handguns, not Uzis, to target practice. Not-so-jockular And now we go to the toy depart- ment . . . sports. HOW ’BOUT THeM PATs?!? | At Phillipe and Jorge’s health club Monday morning, all the talk in the locker room was about the Pa- triots depressing performance in the AFC Championship game the day before. Reaction ranged from disbelief to an acknowledgement that perhaps Tom Brady and the boys weren’t all they were cracked up to be. If there was an organ by the showers playing funeral music, it would have fit right in. P&J don’t believe in that kind of overreaction. Our solution is simply to fire that fraud Bill Belichick and trade Brady and his favorite wide receiver, Wes Welker. We have e-mailed this astute advice to Patriots owner Bob Kraft, and are expecting a re- sponse any minute now. sTAN THe MAN | If you are of a certain age, and P&J passed it awhile ago, every kid on the block knew who you were talking about when you said “stan the Man.” That would be Mr. Musial, the st. Louis Cardinals three-time MVP and seven-time National League batting champ who passed away last week. stan the Man had some advan- tages. For the bulk of his career, the Cardinals were the western- most team in baseball, and their games were broadcast widely across that section of the country beyond the Mississippi and in the south. That had something to do with his popularity. But it was more than that. Unlike most of today’s athletes (and P&J would love to see how many current ma- jor leaguers know who Musial was — take the under at about five per- cent) he was about as soft-spoken, dignified, and revered as a small- town pastor. Despite his destruction of Phil- lipe’s beloved Philadelphia Phil- lies, P. had a Musial figurine in his bedroom. He hoped to be the next incarnation of “The Man.” As you may have guessed, that idea didn’t work out too well. Nor did becoming the new elvis. RIP, stan the Man, there won’t be another. LANCe THe BOIL | While the media is piling on disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong, disgruntled reader D.B. tells P&J that he sees things quite differently. A Tour de France fan who is no great fan of France, our friend believes Arm- strong simply thrashed the eu- rotrash at their own game — dop- ing and getting away with it, at least until now. employing Croco- dile Dundee reasoning (“You think that’s a knife? This is a knife!”), he says Armstrong should be consid- ered a hero — the embodiment of cheating at its All-American best. souNd familiar? From the January 13 edition of the British magazine Private Eye, comes word of another “Phoenix” rising at the University of Glam- organ in Wales: “When students at the Univer- sity of Glamorgan launched an in- dependent newspaper, the Phoenix, the university was happy to cham- pion it on its website, no doubt in the hope of enticing new students to several journalism courses. “However, the university man- agement (unlike the lecturers) hadn’t counted on the students at the Phoenix actually acting like journalists and covering stories. The inaugural edition published a bread and butter piece about the university missing out on millions of pounds of fees after it failed to attract as many new students as it had expected. The young hacks also threw a couple of awkward questions in the direction of the PR department. “Furious bosses told the stu- dents they could face ‘disciplinary action’ if they printed stories that ‘damage (or potentially damage) the university’s reputation.’ “Phoenix editor ellen Coyne said she felt the stories were being regarded as ‘some kind of bizarre treason.’ so much for the claim in the university prospectus that ‘the journalist’s job is to act as the eyes and ears of the public.’ evidently they can watch or lis- ten, so long as they don’t see or hear anything important.” a Visit with Bill On Monday, Jorge went to Con- necticut to see old friend Bill Flana- gan. If you’re an old Vo Dilunduh, you’ll remember Bill as one of the music writers at the forerunner of the Providence Phoenix, the NewPa- per. If you really know your stuff, you know that his father was the founder of CCRI, for whom the Lin- coln campus is named. If you don’t have deep Rhody roots, perhaps you know Bill’s music essays on CBs’ Sunday Morn- ing.

And he’s taken his guitar across the border, too, playing Canada, Great Britain, Germa- ny, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Slovenia. The music that’s sent him halfway around the world? Scan the Johnston na- tive’s discography dating back to the 1960s and you’ll find the songs “Early Mornin’ Blues,” “Shuckin’ Sugar Blues,” “Gamblin’ Woman Blues,” “Bad Dream Blues,” “Stone Sober Blues,” and “Back Door Blues.” Geremia likes to say he was born in the “Providence River Delta.” He will return to that delta in late April when he — alongside journalist-turned- MTV-exec-turned-novelist Bill Flanagan and the late, great songwriter George M. Cohan of “Over There” and “The Yankee Doodle Boy” fame, among others — will be inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame. Naturally, the bluesman, 68, was on the road when he heard the news this week and we caught up with him over the phone from south Florida. The interview has been edited and condensed. YOUR WEBSITE DOESN’T LIST AN EMAIL ADDRESS. YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE PROMISES THAT COMMENTS WILL BE PASSED ALONG TO YOU. ARE YOU CONSCIOUSLY AVOIDING TECHNOL- OGY? I’m still using the telephone and, I figure, if the telephone isn’t good enough, then don’t call me! [Laughs] There’s also a whole lot of crap on computers that I don’t care to get into. I don’t like commercials on television, so don’t have a televi- sion. I just don’t find [in] the computer or the Digital Age anything that appeals to me. I had a girlfriend who I used to try to call at night and when her line would be busy, I’d say the next day, “Gee, I was tryin’ to call for hours, you know?” She said, “Oh, I was online.” And then she up and left me and married this other guy. And I often wondered: it was probably true that when I was trying to reach her on the phone, she was communicating with that guy on the computer, online. So that’s always turned me off about computers. I lost my girlfriend to a computer. [Laughs.] ARE THE BLUES A WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PAST? I think it’s a way of communi- cating with timeless things. The subject of the blues is one of the things that gives it timeless appeal. So, I guess, in a way you could say it helps you communicate with the past in that there are things that always were and always will be; there are things that we can’t outlive. LIKE WHAT? You know, like Son House said: “The blues is about the relationship be- tween a man and a woman. And that’s all it is. There’s nothing else to it.” He said, “If you’re writing about something else, it’s not the blues.” I tend to agree with him. That’s the crux of the whole issue. PEOPLE DON’T NECESSARILY THINK OF THE BLUES WHEN THEY THINK OF RHODE ISLAND. HOW DID YOU BECOME A BLUES MUSICIAN, GROWING UP HERE? I picked up the guitar especially after seeing Mississippi John Hurt play one time at the Newport Folk Festival. One thing led to another and I read Sam Charter’s book on The Country Blues and that gave a thumb- nail sketch of a lot of the musicians who played that music and recorded in the ’20s and ’30s. And then I went on to find as much music as I could by those people. I started going to the Salva- tion Army in Providence to collect 78s [RPM records] and I found some blues records there. The first blues records I had I got from the Salvation Army: 78s of Blind Boy Fuller, Big Bill Broonzy, Tommy McClennan, and people like that. WILL YOU EVER RETIRE? I’ll retire if I’m six feet under. I won’t have a choice at that point. I’m perfectly content to be doing [this]. I don’t expect to be a star; I never aspired to that sort of thing. As long as I can make a living and say what’s on my mind — that’s one of the nice things about being in this country, you can say what’s on your mind — then I’ll be a contented puppy. I mean, it’s not an occupation that requires the physical condition of a decathlon athlete. _Philip Eil Blue notes Paul Geremia joins the rhode island music hall of fame this Just in Film Studies Jonathan Levine returns to Providence, zombies in tow fDirector Jonathan Levine is a genre guy. But he’s never told it straight. His breakout film, The Wackness (2008), is a coming- of-age story, yes. But it fo- cuses on a young marijuana dealer (Josh Peck) trading weed for the counsel of a psychiatrist on the brink (Ben Kingsley). And while 50/50 (2011) is a bromance of sorts, it could just as easily be called a “cancer comedy.” For his latest project, the director is engaged in a bit of fusion — merging zombie flick and romantic comedy (zom-rom-com!) with Warm Bodies, based on the novel by Isaac Marion about a young, tortured undead who strikes up a friendship with the girl- friend of one of his victims. Levine, who graduated from Brown University in 2000, will be back on cam- pus January 27 for a 6 pm screening of Warm Bodies at the Granoff Center for the Creative Arts, followed by a discussion of the film. I caught up with him by phone in Miami, one of sev- eral stops on a promotional tour. The interview is edited and condensed. SO HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU UTTERED THE PHRASE “ZOM-ROM-COM” IN THE LAST FEW DAYS? You know, I don’t really say it. We started test- ing the movie and people were kind of coining it themselves and I figured I would leave it to other people to feel like they discovered it. I don’t like to put things in boxes — even if it’s a box of three different things. It always feels reductive or whatever. But I’m glad they all rhyme. I hope it becomes a new genre. I’d love to see Kate Hudson start doing some work in the genre. WHAT ZOMBIE RULES DID YOU ADHERE TO AND WHICH ONES DID YOU BREAK? We were very careful. I knew, no matter what, that getting inside the head of a zombie [for an interior monologue] and all that stuff was going to have zombie purists up in arms. And that’s fine. I’ve steeled myself for that. But I’m a huge fan of zombie movies, I’m a huge fan of slasher films. In fact, at Brown, we did a group independent study about horror films. Basically it was an excuse for us to smoke weed and watch horror movies once a week. I definitely wanted [my] respect [for the genre] to shine through. I wanted to adhere to as many rules as we could. So we definitely have [George] Romero-type slow-walking zombies [a la Night of the Living Dead], they eat brains, they can only be shot in the head. Most of it fits within the rules. But then, of course, what the book had done was kind of tweak those rules — push them in a new direction, a really interest- ing direction. When our zombie eats brains, he’s doing it to access the memories of the person he’s killed. So it’s this way for him to be alive again for a fleeting moment. It’s almost like a drug. YOU’VE TALKED ABOUT ZOM- BIE AS METAPHOR. WHAT IS THE LARGER POINT YOU’RE TRYING TO MAKE WITH THIS MOVIE? The best thing about Night of the Living Dead is it’s about the group versus the indi- vidual, or it’s about intol- erance. Basically, zombies hold up a mirror to us as a society and hopefully let us see things that we could be do- ing better. The interesting, core allegorical thing in Isaac’s book that I try to bring to the movie is two-fold. One, it’s about what does it mean to be alive and what does it mean to live in the moment. Our zombie lives in an airport, there’s a scene where it flashes back to the airport as it was before and everyone is just walking, staring at their cell phones — they’re not too different from the zombies in the post-apocalyptic world. The other really cool thing is this protagonist, this main character, this guy — for him, be- ing a zombie is not that different from being a young person who can’t express themselves. He’s around this beautiful girl and he’s completely in- articulate, he thinks he’s a huge loser — I mean, he’s right, he’s a zombie — but those are things you gravitate toward, those are things I can wrap my head around, because I kind of shared that perspective when I was his age. ANY THOUGHTS ON COMING BACK TO BROWN, COMING BACK TO PROVIDENCE? It’s always really exciting for me to do that. I got to come back a few years ago to speak at this Ivy League film festival, that was re- ally, really fun. I got to stay at the Biltmore — that was always this amazing place that I could never stay in, that I would always look at from afar. I’ll go to the [Grad Center Bar]. I’ll do some of the fun things that I did. There’s lots of food that I want to eat. I have nothing but great memories of going to school there and especially about studying art- semiotics there and learning about what it means to be a filmmaker. And so, I’m just so grateful to come back. It’s honestly the highlight of this weird cross-country presser that I’m on — being able to come back and show this movie to people, and be proud of it, and go to Paragon and drink a Bloody Mary. _David Scharfenberg “I’ll retire if I’m six feet under.” _paul geremia uNDeaD Nicholas Hoult in Warm Bodies.

The state ranks last or close to last in most economic indicators. Taxes are high and jobs are scarce. Our most prom- inent cultural export may be Pauly D. So why are we here? Because it is a beautiful place filled with top-shelf art, culture, and people. Our res- taurants, bars, and food trucks rival those of the biggest American cities. And though we may be broke, it’s easy to take in a lot of this great stuff on the cheap. Start with the following 10 items. It’s a list geared toward students and other newcomers. So some items may be familiar to long-time Rhode Islanders. But even the locals are sure to make a couple of discoveries. 1 | Newport Cliff walk The path, running along the eastern shore of the City by the Sea, provides a stun- ning view of the ocean on one side and a Peeping Tom’s view, on the other, of the mansions that made the city famous. The first site in New England to be designated a National Recreation Trail, it is 3.5 miles long and about two-thirds of it makes for easy walking. Beware of the rocky parts of the trail, poison ivy and, of course, falling (cliffwalk.com). 2 | people watChiNg oN thayer Street One of the best ways to observe Rhode Is- land’s more peculiar denizens is to find a seat at one of Thayer Street’s many outdoor eater- ies and observe them in their natural habitat. There are more restaurants, cafes, and bars on this trendy stretch of pavement than ever before. Plenty of them offer outside seat- ing and reasonably priced beverages. Keep an eye out for kids with hundreds of dollars of silver pierced into their heads asking for spare change. Do not give them any. 3 | Seal watChiNg at rome poiNt By the time Thanksgiving rolls around in North Kingstown, some 20 to 60 seals have usually arrived. The population increases in January, meaning you can expect more than 100 seals barking away from now until May. Weather and tides affect the numbers, but you’ll see plenty unless powerboats or kayaks spook them. Check out romepointseals.org for some expert tips. 4 | Waterfire Providence A forward-thinking art installation that is open to all, WaterFire is a perfect culmination of the best of Providence. The bonfires on the water, the scent of wood smoke, and the flickering firelight on the city’s bridges mix with music from around the world. It’s pretty amazing and it’s free. Of course, vendors from all over the state offer food and drink. But if you bring a flask and a little charcuterie in your backpack, no one will notice (water- fire.org). absolute rarity: amazing sushi on the cheap. Typically cheap sushi is as reliable as a cheap tattoo artist.

And it doesn’t hurt to have a free guide. Pick up “Lay o’ the Land: A Wayfinding Guide for Transporta- tion Cyclists and Urban Explorers” at Leg- end Bicycle on Brook Street (legendbicycle. com). This map highlights bike paths, bike lanes, and useful cycling roads to help you navigate the labyrinth that is the 18th century road network in Providence and the surrounding metropolitan area. While you’re at Legend getting the lay of the land, fill up your tires at their self- serve station. In addition to free air, you’ll find basic tools to tune up your bike before heading out onto the streets. _By Victor Paul alVarez 9 | aS220 The heart of free expression in Providence, AS220 is home to rotating galleries, a perfor- mance space, recording studio, dance and yoga studio, and an excellent bar and restau- rant. The space also hosts film screenings, yoga classes, readings, street funk dance classes, and more from dirt cheap to free of charge. Bookmark the calendar tab on their web site and you’ll have something to do ev- ery night of the week (as220.org). 10 | wiNg Night at the aBBey The Abbey is a popular pub on Admiral Street in Providence known for having a great selection of 92 beers and some of the best burgers in the state. But they don’t come cheap. What is cheap — and excellent — are their wings: 35 cents each on Tuesday nights. The Abbey’s wings are baked, not fried, and come tossed in your choice of sauces (92beers.com). ^ 5 | provideNCe atheNaeum This stately stone and granite landmark on Benefit Street is more than just a place for books; it is a story in of itself. The Ath- enaeum, as its web site says, “is neither a public library, nor an academic library, nor a community center, nor a private club — it is a little bit of all these things and it is more.” Just walking around the institution, founded in 1836, is a treat. The building is open to the public and all are welcome to peruse the collections while inside. Programming ranges from readings and book clubs to salons and pub-style quiz- zes (providenceathenaeum.org). 6 | SwaN poiNt Cemetery It’s a little like New York’s Central Park, with graves. Yes, Swan Point is what they call a “garden cemetery.” Established in 1846, its 200 acres serve as a final resting place but also a tranquil spot you can visit to be inspired, ride a bike, take a walk, or commune with nature. They give tours, but you’re free to visit on your own. The property extends from Blackstone Boulevard to the shore of the Seekonk River, and is filled with lawns, forest trees, laurel, flowering shrubs, and deep ravines by the riverside (swanpointcem- etery.com). 7 | eCoNomiCal eatS Here are five cheap places with great food in no particular order: eaSt Side poCketS | You can stuff your- self with authentic Middle Eastern food (vegan friendly and gluten-free options available) late into the night for about five bucks. | 278 Thayer St, Providence | 401.453.1100 | eastsidepocket.com ChilaNgoS taqueria | This is one of the best Mexican spots in town.

The population increases in January, meaning you can expect more than 100 seals barking away from now until May. Weather and tides affect the numbers, but you’ll see plenty unless powerboats or kayaks spook them. Check out romepointseals.org for some expert tips. 4 | Waterfire Providence A forward-thinking art installation that is open to all, WaterFire is a perfect culmination of the best of Providence. The bonfires on the water, the scent of wood smoke, and the flickering firelight on the city’s bridges mix with music from around the world. It’s pretty amazing and it’s free. Of course, vendors from all over the state offer food and drink. But if you bring a flask and a little charcuterie in your backpack, no one will notice (water- fire.org). absolute rarity: amazing sushi on the cheap. Typically cheap sushi is as reliable as a cheap tattoo artist. Not here. | 215 Goddard Row, Newport | 401.849.5155 | sushi-go.com 8 | BiCyCle map to freedom The best way to get to know a city like Providence is on a bike. And it doesn’t hurt to have a free guide. Pick up “Lay o’ the Land: A Wayfinding Guide for Transporta- tion Cyclists and Urban Explorers” at Leg- end Bicycle on Brook Street (legendbicycle. com). This map highlights bike paths, bike lanes, and useful cycling roads to help you navigate the labyrinth that is the 18th century road network in Providence and the surrounding metropolitan area. While you’re at Legend getting the lay of the land, fill up your tires at their self- serve station. In addition to free air, you’ll find basic tools to tune up your bike before heading out onto the streets. _By Victor Paul alVarez 9 | aS220 The heart of free expression in Providence, AS220 is home to rotating galleries, a perfor- mance space, recording studio, dance and yoga studio, and an excellent bar and restau- rant. The space also hosts film screenings, yoga classes, readings, street funk dance classes, and more from dirt cheap to free of charge. Bookmark the calendar tab on their web site and you’ll have something to do ev- ery night of the week (as220.org). 10 | wiNg Night at the aBBey The Abbey is a popular pub on Admiral Street in Providence known for having a great selection of 92 beers and some of the best burgers in the state. But they don’t come cheap. What is cheap — and excellent — are their wings: 35 cents each on Tuesday nights. The Abbey’s wings are baked, not fried, and come tossed in your choice of sauces (92beers.com). ^ 5 | provideNCe atheNaeum This stately stone and granite landmark on Benefit Street is more than just a place for books; it is a story in of itself. The Ath- enaeum, as its web site says, “is neither a public library, nor an academic library, nor a community center, nor a private club — it is a little bit of all these things and it is more.” Just walking around the institution, founded in 1836, is a treat. The building is open to the public and all are welcome to peruse the collections while inside. Programming ranges from readings and book clubs to salons and pub-style quiz- zes (providenceathenaeum.org). 6 | SwaN poiNt Cemetery It’s a little like New York’s Central Park, with graves. Yes, Swan Point is what they call a “garden cemetery.” Established in 1846, its 200 acres serve as a final resting place but also a tranquil spot you can visit to be inspired, ride a bike, take a walk, or commune with nature. They give tours, but you’re free to visit on your own. The property extends from Blackstone Boulevard to the shore of the Seekonk River, and is filled with lawns, forest trees, laurel, flowering shrubs, and deep ravines by the riverside (swanpointcem- etery.com). 7 | eCoNomiCal eatS Here are five cheap places with great food in no particular order: eaSt Side poCketS | You can stuff your- self with authentic Middle Eastern food (vegan friendly and gluten-free options available) late into the night for about five bucks. | 278 Thayer St, Providence | 401.453.1100 | eastsidepocket.com ChilaNgoS taqueria | This is one of the best Mexican spots in town.

The sun goes down shortly after lunch. The thermometer hovers around 25 degrees. It’s officially winter and, until you arrive in Acapulco for Spring Break, your main source of Vitamin D will be the warm, glowing screen of your laptop. But this isn’t such bad news in Rhode Island, where our small state has turned out a cyberspace bigger, richer, and more ambitious than you might imagine. Politics. Gossip. Drugs. Sports. History. Music. Our local Internet provides a veritable liberal arts education, with DJ Pauly D — the man of nine million Facebook “likes” — as its pro- vost. So, kick off your boots, order a pizza, and charge up that MacBook. This is your guide to Digital Rhode Island. BLOGS Most schools have their own mini blogo- sphere and Rhode Island’s colleges and universities are no exception. RISD has the inimitable — and highly addictive — “OnLy at RISD” tumBLR, where anonymous con- tributors post gifs for every conceivable art- school scenario (“COOKING IN THE RISD DORMS” shows Paris Hilton frying a strip of bacon with a clothes iron. “IN THE 9TH HOUR OF CRITIQUE, WHEN PEOPLE JUST CANT STOP TALKING ABOUT THEIR OWN WORK” loops Jersey Shore’s Snooki repeat- edly screaming “Shut the fuck up!”). Providence College has a bevy of blogs devoted to the Friars men’s basketball team: fRIaRBaSketBaLL.cOm, pcBaSket- BaLL.wORDpReSS.cOm, and fRIaRBLOG. cOm, home of the “Friarpod,” a 50-minute podcast where guys nicknamed “Mayor” and “Warrior Friar” parse every rebound and new recruit. Back on College Hill, Brown’s BLOG DaILy HeRaLD — the digital arm of the esteemed Brown Daily Herald — sets a high standard for sharp-tongued streaming commentary. Check out their Drunk/Sober/High reviews of “Twilight: Breaking Dawn II” and the Providence Ghost Tour for equal doses of clear-eyed, bleary-eyed, and red-eyed cultural analy- sis. The Blog Daily Herald even has a 30 Rock-inspired, behind-the-scenes web series called “The Blog,” which takes view- ers inside fictional, surprisingly funny editorial meetings at the BDH’s brick head- quarters off Thayer Street. But such campus-centric fare shouldn’t stop you from venturing into post- graduate bloggery. Out there in the “real world,” your first stop should be the pROvIDence DaILy DOSe — SparkNotes for informed, intelligent conversation about the Ocean State. Here you won’t just find comprehensive weekly music listings (when are the Moldy Suitcases appearing at Nick-a-Nee’s?), you’ll also find posts about restaurant openings, plays, pro- tests, film screenings, art exhibitions, and flu shots. The main draw, however, is head editor/writer Beth Comery’s laser- etched commentary on political issues — particularly the War on Drugs. “One _By PhiliP Eil recent post about former Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy’s opposi- tion to marijuana legalization, “how many years in prison did you spend as a result of your run-ins with airport secu- rity, the Coast Guard, and the Capitol police? Or were you given other options?” Another blog deserving your clicks is the long-running aRt In RuInS. Founded in 2002 — which makes it almost geri- atric, in blog years — AIR is dedicated to documenting past, present, and future architecture in Rhode Island. And it does its job well; the site overflows with info and photos about defunct underground bowling alleys and Rhode Island’s next planned glass and steel edifice. But the site is much more than facts and blue- prints. Thanks to a carefully curated feed- back section (here, they’re “Anecdotes” not “Comments”) each page becomes a trove of memories, ghost stories, and urban legends. “[I] remember my uncle saying there was no water in the water fountains, just gansett!” writes one guest on the page dedicated to the bygone Narragansett Brewery in Cranston. “It was our playground as kids,” writes another visitor about the shuttered Rocky Point amuse- ment park in Warwick. “[W]e would sneek (sic) in under a fence and scour through all the garbage for thrown away prizes and tickets that were unused . . . . We absolutely loved the clamcakes . . . So many memo- ries. The salt water swimming pool, saw a man drown there once and I never went back.” Poke around Art in Ruins long enough you’ll stumble across an interac- tive, 360-degree photograph taken from Providence’s iconic Seekonk River train bridge. Fiddling with this feature is, with- out question, safer than tiptoeing around patches of black ice on the real thing. SOcIaL meDIa Sure, your student I.D. — not to mention your tuition bill — says that you’re in col- lege, but out there in the social media universe, there’s an old-fashioned high school popularity contest underway. Here in Rhode Island the Twitter Prom King and Queen hail from two oft-mocked Provi- dence suburbs: Johnston and Cranston. They are, of course, Paul DelVecchio and Olivia Culpo, better known as DJ pauLy D and mISS unIveRSe 2013, respectively. Don’t dwell on the fact that the combined Twitter following of Rhode Island’s congressional delegation makes up less than half of one percent of @ DJPaulyD’s 4,279,936 followers. Nobody follows Pauly and Olivia (@oliviaculpo and @MissUniverse) for politics; we follow them for life advice. “When In Trouble Just Ask Yourself, ‘What Would Pauly D Do’#WWPDD,” the Jersey Shore star tweeted to the masses earlier this month. “Please help spread the word to #keeponsmiling,” Culpo chirped to 24,787 followers that Digital RhoDe islanD Continued on p 10 Student Survival G uide!

Suddenly, life doesn’t seem so complicated. Thanks, guys. If cheery platitudes and never-end- ing plugs for Pauly D’s debut single “Back to Love” — which sounds roughly how his REMIX line of cocktails must taste — aren’t your thing, there are other options. Take, for example, keep pROvIDence Lame (@lameprov), the anony- mous fountain of local vitriol that has been spurting since March 2011, when it announced, “We’re tweeting, bitches” then promptly re-tweeted a Providence Journal story: “Man Arrested in RI Shooting Outside Nonviolence Institute.” Since then, highlights have included: “If you swap just 2 adjacent letters, West Exchange Street becomes Wet Sex Change Street. #justthoughtyoudliketoknow,” “Dear Providence, your ‘trolleys’ are neither quaint, nor useful. Just lame,” “Rabies symptoms: Anxiety, Confusion, Excitation, Hallucinations, Agitation, Hypersalivation. Sounds par for the course at Kennedy Plaza,” and — perhaps in a nod to Pauly D — “I’d like to see a Rhode Island cartogram showing levels of ‘douche’ by city. Johnston would be fucking huge.” appS The Rhode Island-specific app landscape is pretty barren for college students. Type “Rhode Island” into the Google Play app store and you’ll find a few rinky-dink “fun fact” apps, a Driver’s Ed app, a reference guide for Rhode Island Criminal Offenses (come to think of it, that might be useful), and a guide to 1500 fishing locations here in the Smallest State. The Apple App Store isn’t much better. Before despairing, I called Andrew Shedd, creative director at Providence’s mOJOtecH, a local startup that designs apps for everything from music-sharing software to interactive corporate customer service. Thinking about apps and how they func- tion is Shedd’s job and he quickly ran off three options that, though not specifically designed or targeted for a local audience, are nevertheless helpful for Rhody collegians. First, he suggested wunDeRLISt 2, a Continued from p 8 to-do list app that synchronizes notes across multiple devices. “It takes the place of jotting some- thing down in a Moleskine,” he says. When your professor mentions a writing assignment, for example, you can use Wunderlist to type it into your phone, set an alarm for its due date, and then jot down ideas for the assignment on your laptop back home. Too many task-management apps nowadays are overloaded with features and doo-dads, Shedd says. Wunderlist is a model of restraint and simplicity. Then there’s SpLItwISe, nurtured by Providence start-up incubator Betaspring. The app is designed to help friends split the costs of rent, furniture, travel, and other shared expenses. “No one likes owing money. But you have to have that conver- sation,” Shedd says. “Splitwise is basically a platform to make that more painless.” What separates the app from a simple spreadsheet, though, are its “calculator” functions designed to place monetary val- ues on hitherto intangible pros and cons. On the app’s website there is a “Loud Sex Calculator” which factors moans of plea- sure — plus, construction work, talking, dancing, snoring, and other annoying sounds — into a surcharge that the offend- ing noisemaker should pay, in addition to his or her rent, every month. Finally, there’s BuffeR, a streamlined, centralized way for students to regulate what they publish on Twitter and Facebook. It’s natural, if you’re stuck on a bus or mired in an endless philosophy lecture, to send out a barrage of links or status updates, Shedd says, but you don’t get the same util- ity out of tweeting every ten seconds. “In fact, that’s probably pretty annoying.” With Buffer you can help regulate your own out- put by setting a scheduled queue for what you say and when. This way you can arrange to tweet “Just finished Moby-Dick. What a book! #buck- etlist” in exactly one week, and deliver the tweet whether or not you’ve finished the tome and whether or not you’re passed out on a pool table in a bed of Cap’n Crunch. ^ Wunderlist 2 Looney Tunes II Best selection of CD’s, vinyl and cassettes New + UseD: CD’s, DvD’s aND more Quo Vadis Center Rolling In... 2/14: Black Valentine’s Party, 2/15: Break & Run plus The Sun Bears, 2/22: Turquaz, 3/29: Zach Deputy Every Tuesday: REGGAE!

Speaking of DUSK (401.714.0444), Ricky Sunderland and Pat Butler have done an outstanding job of establishing one of the city’s busiest live venues along quiet Har- ris Avenue (tucked behind da Hill), with low-dough action just about every night of the week ranging from rap shows (local rhymer Big Rush recently packed the joint) to the hugely successful Metal Night series held every Wednesday. Plenty of free park- ing, too. From vaudeville to hardcore porn, the COLUMBUS THEATRE (columbustheatre. com) has seen it all; it recently underwent a thorough renovation and the results are nothing less than magnificent. Hometown indie-folk-Americana heroes the Low An- them (and an all-star cast of special guests) held a memorable two-night stand, and used the Theatre’s small loft space to re- cord their forthcoming album (due out later this year). The Columbus’ show schedule is picking up steam, starting with an outstanding triple-dip lined up for February 1 with DIAMOND DOVES (former members of Elvis Perkins In Dearland), LAST GOOD TOOTH, and personal favorite TALLAHASSEE (led by former Pats lineman- turned-folk crooner Brian Barthelmes).

Even better is the College Skate Night offer, with $3 admission and $3 rentals); it’s valid every Wednesday from 6-10 pm with ID. Hit the pavement and get in on some of the road races offered around the state. Check out the BRRR-LINGAME TRAIL RACES in Charlestown on February 10, feel those hamstrings burn while bolting up a zil- lion stairwells at the annual FIGHT FOR AIR CLIMB on February 23 at One Financial Plaza downtown (with proceeds benefit- ing the American Lung Association), or go the distance at the OCEAN’S RUN HALF MARATHON in South Kingstown on Sun- day, March 10.

And DUCKPIN BOWLING is an ideal night out. Duckpin is easier than “big ball” ten- pin bowling but no less entertaining (like hucking a bocce ball), especially while pounding a few pitchers of ice-cold brew. There are only six official duckpin loca- tions remaining in RI; visit ridba.net for locations and money-saving coupons. SPECTATOR FUN The men’s hoop team in Kingston ain’t exacting lighting it up this year, but the URI RAMS (gorhody.com, 800.745.3000) boast a devoted fanbase known for rock- ing the Ryan Center, and hopefully new coach Dan Hurley can get the Rams back to dominant form. Upcoming home games include St. Bonaventure (February 9), Xavier (February 20), and UMass on March 9. Coach Ed Cooley has the men’s PROVIDENCE COLLEGE FRIARS (friars. com, 401.865.GOPC) on the right track, as Vincent Council and Bryce Cotton look to light up the Dunk and finish strong before entering the Big East tournament. Home tilts include a big one versus UConn on January 31, Notre Dame will visit on February 16, and Seton Hall will close out the PC home schedule on March 5.

McCoy Stadium will come alive begin- ning April 11 when the PawSox kick off its home schedule with a four-night stand against the Rochester Red Wings. Single game tickets and group packages are available now, as well as field-level hos- pitality suites and all-you-can-eat BBQ tents for larger parties. Single game tix are just $12 for box seats, or kick back on the left field berm for $8 per game.

There’s always something interesting go- ing on at the RISD MUSEUM (risdmuseum. org, 401.454.6500), with discounted $5 admission with valid college ID, and free admission every Sunday from 10 am-5 pm. The NEWPORT ART MUSEUM (newport artmuseum.org, 401.848.8200) just cel- ebrated its 100th anniversary and offers a discounted student membership. All that scholastic stuff sure does work up a thirst (if you are under the age of 21, stop reading HERE). Did you know the Biggest Little State in the Union is home to 10 breweries? Drink local! We’re pretty pumped for the inaugural RHODE ISLAND BREW FEST (ribrewfest.com), going down at the Pawtucket Armory on February 2; tix are $45 in advance and they’ll likely sell out soon (VIP passes are already gone). More than 30 breweries will be on hand pouring suds over two sessions, including local favorites like Sean Larkin’s fantastic Revival line, Grey Sail (Westerly), Raven- ous Brewing Company (Woonsocket), Pawtucket’s Bucket Brewery and Foolproof Brewing Company, and Downcity main- stays Union Station and Trinity Brew- house. The Super Bowl is the next day, so your liver is really going to hate you that weekend. And of course we cannot forget the 7TH ANNUAL GREAT INTERNATIONAL SPRING BEER FESTIVAL, happening on Sat- urday, April 20 at the Convention Center. The fest is totally bananas (particularly the night session), so don’t even think about driving and call a cab. Tix for both sessions go on sale February 15. THE NIGHTCAP Late-night eats are a quintessential part of the college experience, and Rhode Island is chock-full of good night-owl spots. As you are well aware by now, around these parts we refer to sub sandwich or hoagies as “grinders,” and WISEGUYS DELI (wiseguysdeli.com, 401.621.8111) is home to the best grinders in town and open late on weekends. The 21 sandwich combina- tions are each named for an infamous mobster; the “Giuseppe Masseria” is a real- deal Italian grinder with the works, the “Al Capone” is an authentic, sumptuous Chicago-style roast beef, and the “Lucky Luciano” is the best turkey club you will ever encounter. You’ve lived here long enough to un- derstand the “hot wiener” concept — a mystery dog smothered in a mystery meat sauce and covered with raw chopped on- ions, mustard, and celery salt (aka “All da way”). Some prefer the ORIGINAL NY SYSTEM on Smith Hill (401.331.5349), while most folks visit one of the OLNEYVILLE NY SYSTEM locations (olneyvillenewyork system.com), with a newer outpost on Mineral Spring Avenue in North Provi- dence plus longtime Cranston and Provi- dence locations. ^ SMOKIN’ the Amazing Johnathan hits the Comedy Connection on January 31.

Considering the distracting profusion, some unassum- ing places that are worthy of attention may not even be considered — places like Uncle Jo Jo’s Pizza & Pasta. The name itself is so un- pretentious it might as well be called Aw Shucks. But don’t feel sorry for them: they immediately follow that up — on awning as well as menu — with “Home of the Brick Oven Pizza.” (Take that, Al Forno, with your fancypants wood grill pizza.) I happened onto and into the place a few months ago with a couple of friends, more for the conversation than the eats, thereby expecting the food to fade into the back- ground like mood music. After chowing down, we were impressed enough to talk about coming back with our wives. I didn’t take notes, but I recall that the pasta special widened my eyes with its quantity as well as its delicate white sauce. The menu de- clares “All Pasta Cooked Al Dente.” All din- ner items are available for lunch. Uncle Jo Jo’s isn’t trying to wow us with its decor like some overstuffed restaurants on the Hill. It’s simply neat and clean, with enough Italian scenery on the walls that you don’t ask for chopsticks. Seating for 28, by my count, all two-tops easily gather together for groups. Full of light during the day, with floor-to-ceiling win- dows street-side. Signature dishes are a good start here and an indication of what they take pride in. The antipasto della casa ($9.95/$17.95) has marinated vegetables, a good touch, among the imported Italian cold cuts and cheeses. There’s the insalata alla Tony ($9.95), which has walnuts, avocado, and radicchio with the tomato and Romaine; the insalata alla Jo Jo ($10.95) has tuna and hard-boiled egg supplementing arugula. The fried calamari ($9.95) is the conven- tional Rhode Island version, but the hot appetizers include panzerotti ($8.95), about which more later. There are nearly 20 pastas, including specials, plus three risottos ($14.95-$19.95), combined with something as simple as zucchini or mush- rooms and Parmesan cheese or as bounti- ful as five kinds of seafood. The one item that lured Stuart and me here was the tripe ($6.50), which was temptingly on the specials chalkboard and fortunately was there again. A full order can be too much, and neither of us could think of anyone else willing to share the dish, so here we were again. Each of the half-orders brought to us filled a regular soup bowl. The rich red gravy begged for some of the Italian bread we had been served with herbed-up olive oil, combining nicely with the not-too-fat pieces of tripe. Our anticipation was fulfilled. The other dish we started with was that panzerotti, two deep-fried lengths of pizza dough filled with mozzarella and pro- sciutto and served with a tangy marinara sauce. This is the kind of appetizer that you order again when you come again, even if there are other temptations. It re- minded me of the fried calzones, stuffed with ham and ricotta, that I used to enjoy as a boy in New Jersey, but these were far lighter, the dough rolled very thin before frying. Wonderful. Among the half-dozen main dishes, I chose a pasta to share, the gnocchi gamberi e funghi ($16.95). The cream sauce was rich but not cloying, the potato morsels not over- cooked and the mushrooms fresh and some wild variety, not those boring brown crimini or white button mushrooms that you usually find. The shrimp, however, were disappoint- ing; out of season you have to expect them to be frozen, but these, frozen too long, were rather dry. The pizza we checked out was the alla Jo Jo ($13.95). Lightly red-sauced, it sported red onions and white flaked tuna with the mozzarella. Stuart liked the crust and I liked the overall combination — light on ingredients but flavorful. Among the specials on this visit was a Nutella pizza ($8.95/$12.95), but our curiosity did not overwhelm our full tum- mies. Looks like there is something else tempting but untasted that will draw us here again. ^ Bill Rodriguez can be reached at billrod.mail@ gmail.com.

As the leader of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, which is celebrating its 25th anniver- sary, he strives to cover the entire range of the music’s glorious history — from New Orleans to now, from Louis Armstrong to the in- novations being made by young boundary-pushers. Saxophonist/clarinetist Victor Goines recently told the Hartford Courant that “we don’t just play concerts, but we learn about the tradition and the history of the music, which allows us to not only play the music in the style of the tradition, but with the freedom of the present that we have while reflecting the vision of Wynton Marsalis.” You must know that the trumpeter’s horn is one of jazz’s wonders — rich, seduc- tive and bubbling over with the blues. And each member of his 15-piece ensemble is a killer soloist. FirstWorks will present Marsalis’s crew at the Vets, 1 Avenue of the Arts, Providence, at 7 pm (and tune into CBS on Sunday, February 3 at 11 am; Wynton will host a one-hour special, New Orleans: Let the Good Times Roll, as part of the Super Bowl pre-game cover- age) | $23-$68 | 401.421.4278 | first-works.org MonDAY 28 true CriMe We’ve been running Derf BACKDerf’s cartoon, “The City,” for a dozen or so years. His strip is always a visual treat, he’s equally adept with a silly or scathing tone, and he has a fondness for shar- ing true stories.

Derf went to high school in Ohio with Jeffrey. “I didn’t really know Dahmer the serial killer,” Derf told Phoenix contribu- tor Philip Eil last year. “Our friendship ended right when he started to kill. The Thing that emerged in 1991 was not the kid I knew.” Eil, who is teaching a “True Crime” seminar at RISD, which ex- amines books, documentary films, comics, and more, will host “A Conversation with” Backderf at 8 pm in the Metcalf Auditorium in RISD’s Chace, 20 North Main St, Providence | Free | facebook. com/events/516038401762422/ tuesDAY 29 BeCoMing visiBLe There’s some deep thinking on display at the Chazan Gallery @ Wheeler, 228 Angell St, Providence.

A few years later, after the installation of a rare Neve recording board, the room became a magical place, spawning mega-selling al- bums by Fleetwood Mac (as well as the hit-making line- up of the band, with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks), Pat Benatar, Rick Springfield (yeah, “Jessie’s Girl” was done there), Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Ratt, and many more. When digital recording arrived in the ’80s, Sound City fell on hard times. But then Nirvana pulled its van into the lot and recorded Nevermind there. Sound City was vital again, and soon welcomed Rage Against the Machine, Kyuss, Frank Black, and Johnny Cash. But then ProTools came along, clients became scarce and the studio closed its doors in 2011. Nirvana member/Foo Fighter/drum- mer to the stars Dave Grohl has directed an engrossing documentary that traces the studio’s storied history, with scores of great anecdotes from musicians and staffers (and a cool riff on defining the es- sence of “feel”). And there’s a sweet extended coda: Grohl bought the Neve board and installed it in his home 606 Studio, where he’s seen recording new songs with Springfield, Nicks, Trent Reznor, Josh Homme, and Paul McCartney. Grohl says his “intention is to inspire the next generation of kids to fall in love with music as much as I did.” Sound ciTy will be screened at the Cable Car Cinema, 204 South Main St, Providence, at 7 pm | $9.25, $7.75 students + chil- dren + seniors | 401.272.3970 | cablecarcinema.com Swinging ballS and a trip to Sound city _compiled by lou papineau f8 dayS a week sun | wynton MarSaliS & the Jazz at lincoln center orcheStra @ the Vets 2026 Smith Street North ProvideNce ri Like uS oN Facebook For a Free hour oF PooL!

Barely one month into the new year, we may have the Party Platter of 2013 on our hands here; file under something like: Iggy Pop, Little Richard, and John McCauley bum rush a sock hop. We’re keeping a Best Album nomination on ice for Ravi Shavi in our 2013 Best Music Poll. Expect a packed house at Firehouse 13 this Saturday when Ravi Shavi hosts its CD release party along with a stacked lineup of special guests, in- cluding Atlantic Thrills and the Rice Cakes, all for just five bucks at the door (or drop $10 and get a copy of the new disc). Twenty-two-year old singer/guitar- ist Rafay Rashid was born in Islam- abad, Pakistan and moved to Warwick with his family when he was eight years old. Around six years ago he met an admirer of his infectious onstage per- sona and songwriting chops — Deer Tick’s John McCauley — while playing in one of his previous bands. “John told me we should open for them sometime and we eventually did at this DIY show downtown,” recalled Rashid. “We stayed in touch and I became good friends with [DT guitarist] Ian O’Neil, who also has provided a lot of positive encouragement and opportuni- ties for us.” O’Neil recently praised Ravi Shavi’s Indecisions EP as one of his favorite releases of 2012 on brooklynvegan. com. Ravi Shavi landed a pair of key supporting slots for Deer Tick last year, playing the Newport Folk Fest after- party (“Things got pretty wild that night”) as well as the packed, DT-curated DudeSmash festival at the Met last summer “That crowd was really responsive and nice,” said Rashid. “It was just a great atmosphere of excitement throughout the day and night.” Ravi Shavi released the track “Birds” in mid-2011 and the quartet caught a nice buzz last summer with the three-track Indecisions; that title track also serves as the leadoff to the new full-length. It’s impossible not to crash the party hard when an album kicks off with a couplet like, “You’re out of my league, I’m in my element/Come home with me, just for the hell of it.” “Bloody Opus” and “Hobbies” conjure plenty of those dance floor spaz- out moments that Rashid is known for while rocking out onstage. “Accidental Mental” from the Indecisions EP pops up renamed “Mental Breakdown” here, one of the many standout cuts on Ravi Shavi. “I feel good, just like I should,” Rashid howls on “I Feel Good,” and stick around for “Critters,” which he cites at one of his favorites. “I dig the faster cuts that embody the sort of abrasive underlying spirit of the album,” Rashid said. The album was recorded in a barn in East Greenwich owned by the previous bassist. While the new album featured the same lineup as the previous EP, only Rashid and drummer Ben Tucker remain. But Rashid is excited about the band’s future with new bandmates Bryan Field- ing (bass) and Nick Politelli (guitar). “Some of the songs on the new album had been writ- ten over the past couple of years that I brought to the table, but this new lineup has resulted in a much more collaborative process,” Rashid said, as the foursome prep brand-new songs for an EP to be recorded later this year, as well as a regional tour of the East Coast in April. “Their sound is a mix of new wave, punk, and old- school rock and roll, but with a modern twist” commend- ed Roz Raskin, head honcho of the Rice Cakes. “We’re so stoked to be playing with the Ravi Shavi boys,” she told me. “They always bring the party and I think our followers who haven’t seen Ravi Shavi are gonna dig it hard.” Pick up Ravi Shavi’s new disc at the show this week- end or download a copy at iTunes and Spotify. ^ RAVI SHAVI + ATLANTIC THIRLLS + THE RICE CAKES + NAPOLEAN | Saturday, January 26 @ 7:30 pm | Firehouse 13, 41 Central St, Providence | $5 | 401.270.1801 | ravishavi. bandcamp.com f Last call for a heavy-duty metal feast on thurSday (the 24th) at dusk with LoLita BLack headlining along with insufferaBLe ingrate, tongue Dynasty, and Worse off aLive; dial 401.714.0444 for details. on Friday (the 25th), aS220 welcomes back the sugar honey iceD tea with local guests BoreD With four, rich ferri & the WeaLth on the Water, and Boston’s art DecaDe (all-ages, $6, 401.831.9327). a 75orLess records trifecta goes down at the parlour (formerly the penalty Box, 401.383.5858) on Saturday (the 26th), featuring gaLvanize, the DoLL eyes, and hurricane Me. a stacked Saturday also includes a boogie-down affair with Boo city and DJ ty Jesso at Local 121 (401.274.2121); the senDers play the narragansett café (401.423.2150); the throttLes dial it up at nick-a-nee’s (never a cover, 401.861.7290); or pull up a chair and kick back at Stone Soup coffeehouse in pawtucket (401.921.5115) for vance giLBert, with guest opener Joanne Lurgio. rise and grind on Sunday (the 27th) with a 3 pm punk matinee featuring reason to fight, MiDnight saints, the Pity Whores, and plenty more at Firehouse 13 ($5, 401.270.1801); then mosey on over to the pvd Social club (401.454.7177) for an all-ages tilt featuring the Mcgunks (new al- bum on the way), the mighty six star gen- eraL, and tWo coW garage; doors open at 6 pm with a $7 cover. ahead to WedneS- day (the 30th), rock out with riBs, echo & Drake, sateLLites faLL, and echoes of Petra (all-ages, $8 at the door, 401.729.1005). and attention all ol-skool rap heads: next thurSday (the 31st), join DJ sterBy- rock for his “throwback thursdays” now going down at the new Fire Lounge and Grill in Warwick (401.467.8998) with drink and hookah specials and no cover all night.

She has Owen, Mira, and Wilton “telling” each other things from their pasts, as well as the feelings they have held onto surrounding certain pivotal events, and those “tells” disrupt Owen and Mira’s relationship. Toward the end of the novel, Owen even blames himself for Wilton’s disappear- ance because of lying to him about telling Anya something that Wilton had con- fided to him. Though the reader knows that eventu- ally everyone will have to “come clean” to each other and to themselves, Kaplan makes the reader’s journey to that point worth every page. The Tell is filled with captivating subplots, with well-drawn supporting roles, including Owen’s father and his new girlfriend, Owen’s students and Mira’s assistant, a friend of Owen’s who runs a tutoring business, the high school librarian and her hus- band, and various “types” who show up at a fundraiser for Mira’s art school. The buildings become additional characters, as Kaplan describes the nooks and crannies, the fusty furnishings, the looming portraits in Mira’s inherited family home; the bare wood walls with their unframed snapshot pin-ups in Edward’s Cape Cod cottage; the heraldic arches in the decaying high school. Her language throughout is a cornu- copia for the senses, especially scents, aromas, and stenches, not just of almond soap on skin or “mulchy” lentil stew, but smells of disappointment, ambition, or “the best intentions.” Similes and meta- phors take unexpected curves; though they are occasionally interruptive, they are mostly spot-on: i.e., the librarian’s Rhode Island accent was like “bright melted plastic.” Kaplan also hits the mark with her pithy asides about Providence: “a place that was proudly peculiar and proudly backward” and “without pretension but full of self-importance”; her settings in Fox Point, the East Side, and across the Point St. Bridge are evocative. The Tell is an exceptionally good read for all of the above, plus Kaplan’s skill at creating suspense for each of her main characters; her insightful look at the sub- tle balance between privacy and sharing in marriage; and her thoughtful exami- nation of unresolved emotions around past tragedies. That she provokes us to ponder the latter two in our own lives is a true mark of the author’s success. ^ Hester Kaplan | east providence public library, 41 Grove ave | January 28 @ 7 pm | Free | 401.434.2453 | eplib.org + Books On the square, 471 angell st, providence | February 2 @ 4 pm | Free | 401.331.9097 | booksq.com f In her first novel in 10 years, The Tell (Harper Perennial), Providence writer and educator Hester Kaplan tackles the familiar territory of marriage and relation- ships she has previously explored in the award-winning short story collection, The Edge of Marriage (1999), and her novel, Kinship Theory (2001). Kaplan expertly delves into the psychological underpin- nings of her characters, and in The Tell her curiosity extends to many other topics: the fleeting nature of celebrity, the addic- tive pull of slot machines, the intensity and frustrations of inner-city teaching, and the effect of the architectural details in buildings upon those who live and work in them. The novel is played out among a trio of characters that sometimes becomes a quar- tet. Owen and Mira live in a rambling East Side Victorian, and they befriend their new neighbor Wilton Deere, a wealthy has-been sitcom actor who has moved to Rhode Island to be closer to his daughter Anya, who is attending medical school at Brown. He hasn’t seen Anya since she was five, but he’s desperate to make amends to her while never revealing why he wouldn’t see her for more than 17 years. Owen teaches at a public high school that is on the verge of being closed; Mira has set up an art school in the Jewelry Dis- trict for underprivileged youth and senior citizens. Both she and Owen remember Wilton from his sitcom and its reruns, and they are quickly seduced by his gifts of wine and mail-order steaks but even more by his ability to secure their confidences, one-on-one, and sometimes to use those bits of intimate knowledge to leverage an even tighter connection to one or the other of them.

For five years Anne refuses to become Henry’s mistress, declaring that “I would rather lose my life than my honesty.” Whether that was for religious or political reasons is unclear in the play, but becoming queen wasn’t all it was cracked up to be: soon after a miscar- riage (it was male), she was executed on trumped-up adultery charges. Anne pre- senting him with the future Queen Eliza- beth I didn’t count for much. Aided by a superb supporting cast, Lambert’s impassioned portrayal of the passionate Anne Boleyn is modulated, gentling down enough for us to believe her religious convictions are thoughtful as well as emotional. Kidd’s Henry VIII conveys the expected arrogance, but with a con- stant knowing smile, and we can believe that his love for Anne is sincere, within the restraints and qualifications of a royal ego. Speaking of arrogance, not mentioned above is the role of Henry’s chief minister and adviser, Thomas Cromwell, who has spies everywhere to keep him apprised of court alliances he needs to nip in the bud or cultivate. Jim O’Brien plays him with feral intensity but enough glimpses of intelli- gence to give him credit for conniving. The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre staging the first US production of this play may warrant a slap on the back, but it’s not really surprising, since they also premiered Brenton’s controversial, fun- damentalist-offending Paul two years ago. Most American theater audiences might not be familiar with the lauded British playwright, who was commissioned by Shakespeare’s Globe to write Anne Boleyn, but it’s understandable that he would be familiar with the Gamm. ^ f The Gamm Theatre has pulled off a couple of coups. The first is present- ing the American premiere of prestigious British playwright Howard Brenton’s Anne Boleyn (they report that “less than a house worth of seats are available for the regular run”; the show has been extended through February 24). The second, even more im- pressive, is to accomplish such a dynamic and thoroughly satisfying production, with Madeleine Lambert as the spirited dervish in the title role. It is directed by Rachel Walshe with en- ergetic agility, which would also describe Anne, the second wife of Henry VIII (Steve Kidd), whose ordering around those about her — including the king — resulted in such upheavals as England breaking off from the Vatican. As presented here, Anne can be described as a whirlwind or a hur- ricane, depending on whether she’s tear- ing through obstacles in a straight line or willy-nilly. At the very beginning we get to appreciate her outsized personality — and Brenton’s wacky narrating style — when her ghost pulls out of a bag both her sev- ered head and a copy of the controversial Bible translated by William Tyndale (Joe Short). Her temperament was such that she was bound to be an adamant protester (as in Protestant) against the authority of the Catholic Church. Her temper was such that she was bound to eventually lose her head over something or other. Anne Boleyn died in 1536, but we also get a play within a play, featuring the court of King James I, who assumed the throne in 1603, commencing the reign of the House of Stuart. He’s depicted here as a cynical voluptuary, and Tony Estrella clearly enjoys the hell out of the role, as do we, as he struts about with lover-confidant George Villiers (Short), issuing pronounce- A delightful dervish The Gamm’s majesTic Anne Boleyn _by bill RodRiGuez the devil inside TRiniTy Rep’s Crime And Punishment _by bill RodRiGuez ments through a lilting Scottish burr. We know him today as the man who commis- sioned the King James Bible, and the play presents him as trying to calm waters still roiling after Anne’s influence: Henry VIII established the Church of England, break- ing completely from Rome after the pope refused to grant an annulment so he could marry Anne, and in James’s day the Angli- can and Puritan factions are still fighting. The whole thing about the six eventual wives of Henry VIII is that he demanded a male heir to continue the House of Tudor. When Cardinal Wolsey (Tom Gleadow) failed to get him that annulment, both he and first wife Catherine of Aragon met f As voluminous Russian novels go, none could be boiled down to a 90- minute stage adaptation with unsurprising economy as well as Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment, which Trinity Reperto- ry Company is proving with authority and imagination (through February 24). We enjoyed an excellent production at the Gamm in 2005, the year before Curt Columbus, this version’s co-author with playwright Marilyn Campbell, came aboard as Trinity’s artistic director. This time around it’s getting an even more interest- ing rendition, as director Brian Mertes and set designer Eugene Lee worked to bring out its psychological dimension. The tormenting persistence of inner demons is precisely what allows this tale to compress with such exquisite tension. A young man rationalizes committing a hor- rific crime and is assaulted with uncertain- ties and guilt as a result. The essence of the story is closer to a haiku than a novel. In 19th-century St. Petersburg, Rodion Raskolnikov (Stephen Thorne) is embit- tered by his poverty, too poor to even con- tinue his studies at university. To get by he has been pawning his possessions to a greedy old woman, which tempts him with an idea. Why should such a worth- less person as she live when killing her and taking her money would allow him to thrive and perhaps do good in the world? We never even see the old woman, only the kindly sister whom Raskolnikov unfortunately murders as well because she witnessed the crime. She is played by Rachel Christopher, who also plays Sonia, Raskolnikov’s only friend, forced into prostitution to feed her family. Dan But- ler plays several incidental characters but mainly portrays Porfiry, a police inspector who comes to suspect Raskolnikov of committing the crime. The young man had written an article that proposed divid- ing men into ordinary drones and extraor- dinary worthies, the latter having “an inner right” to “overstep boundaries.” That attracts the inspector’s attention. The playwrights and especially the direc- tor skillfully make the action parallel Ras- kolnikov’s antic thoughts, fragmenting the narrative without confusing us, making the action judder and shift abruptly when appropriate to heighten the emotion of the moment. Designer Lee pulls us out of the period, making most visual cues decidedly un-Russian to emphasize the universality of Raskolnikov’s narcissistic mindset; the stage is cluttered with bric-a-brac, as messy a place as the young man’s skull. The only naturalistic element is a floral stuffed arm- chair out of your grandmother’s parlor, unless you include the life-sized crucifix, complete with suffering savior. (The back wall being covered with rugs and quilts is a head-scratcher, though.) Christopher is convincingly sympathetic as Sonia, the character remaining a loyal friend to him because he brought her dy- ing father in from the street. He also gave her family his last kopeck, though he was going hungry himself. Butler beautifully accomplishes his tricky role as the canny police inspector, who needs to convince the wary Raskolnikov of his growing friend- ship, all the while maintaining the tension of a trap set to spring on the murderer. Nevertheless, there are occasional mo- COMPLEX CHARACTER Thorne in Crime and Punishment. theater ments of humor to lighten the mood, as when Butler kisses Raskolnikov on both cheeks in greeting, and then concludes with a quick lick — the moment sounds like it should violate the tone of the play, but the mood Butler establishes is relaxed enough elsewhere that it doesn’t. Thorne gives his usual expansive performance when inhabiting a complex character, pre- senting a man who wants to think he’s su- perior while trying to quash feelings that he is simply a monster. What a dark view of the world to re- gard him as Everyman. How Russian. Raskolnikov persists in resisting his guilty conscience, a fortunate decision for us since otherwise the play would be a mere 20 minutes. Please forgive my not treating the central conflict with the respect usual- ly due literary classics, but unless you are a Leopold or Loeb, the rich law students who murdered a boy in 1924 in “extraordinary” smugness, the premise might seem a bit of a stretch. This is a fine production, but Dostoyevsky has set things up so that if Raskolnikov hadn’t felt terrible about also killing the innocent sister, we’d have a hardly time identifying with him at all. As a psychological study, especially in a sum- mary, Crime and Punishment is less illuminat- ing than it might have been. ^ Short, FORCE OF NATURE lambert in the title role. p e T e R G o l d b e R G m a R k T u R e k STAY HOME, GROW YOUR OWN!!

BAKER | 2012 | From IMDB: “Ginger Baker looks back on his musical career with Cream and Blind Faith; his introduc- tion to Fela Kuti; his self-destructive patterns and losses of fortune; and his current life inside a fortified South African compound.” | 92m | XXXW DJANGO UNCHAINED | 2012 | With Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino rewrote the end of World War II, going big as he reduced Hitler to something very small. Now, Tarantino reconfigures that classic American genre, the western, setting his new film in the Deep South, creating what he terms a “Southern,” while infusing it with the spaghetti sensibilities of Sergio Leone (director of Tarantino’s favorite film, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly) and, more so, the genre grit of that other Sergio, Corbucci (director of 1966’s Django, naturally). Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz, devour- ing Tarantino’s dialogue as much as he did in his Oscar-winning turn in Basterds) “purchases” the shackled Django (a whip-scarred Jamie Foxx) with a couple of well-placed blasts from his concealed hand-cannon. King, a bounty hunter who is as much a dentist as Doc Holliday, takes on Django as his protégé, with a goal of rescuing Django’s long-lost wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washing- ton), who’s the property of powerful plantation proprietor Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio, oozing sleaze). Things are slow at points. But it doesn’t make the film feel overlong. Instead, it’s the calm before the shitstorm, when Tarantino takes the chains off, and the real carnage begins. | 165m | FUNERAL KINGS | 2012 | The win- ner of the Best Feature award at the 2012 Rhode Island International Film Festival, Funeral Kings was written and directed by Warwick natives Matthew and Kevin Mc- Manus and features dozens of local actors and locations. They say it’s “a dark comedy about three booze drinking, cigarette smoking, foul- mouthed altar boys, whose irrever- ent personalities eventually put them in a situation that is too big for them to handle.” | 85m | XXX GANGSTER SQUAD | 2013 | In the history of Hollywood violence, Gangster Squad scored a footnote when it was pulled from a September release, after the Aurora shooting for a scene in which gangsters ma- chine-gunned their way through the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre screen. You can’t help wondering if director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) cried at that snip. That’s the kind of sick joke that gets him going. This is not to say that Gangster Squad stints on violence: we first meet former Bugsy Siegel lieutenant Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) drawing-and-halving some poor schnook behind the Hol- lywoodland sign. Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) is out to stop this psychopathic racketeer, and LAPD Chief “Whiskey Bill” Parker (Nick Nolte) has suggested he leave his badge at home and form an off-the- books team, using his WWII guer- rilla training to take down Cohen. Gangster Squad is no L.A. Confidential, nor is it much of a history lesson, compressing some 15 years into a few months. But it’s a diverting look at police work pre-Miranda Rights. And if Fleischer’s gallows humor feels out of place and his aestheticized bloodbaths distasteful, blame your discomfort on the off-screen debate that has rendered Hollywood no lon- ger untouchable. | 113m | HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNT- ERS | 2013 | Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton star as the titular siblings of fairy tale lore. Set 15 years from the infamous ginger- bread house incident, the two have grown into vengeful bounty hunters dedicated on exterminating witches. Tommy Wirkola directs. | 88m | XXW LES MISÉRABLES | 2012 | For his adaptation of the kitsch- fest known as Les Miz, Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech) bets heavily on his cast, and mostly wins. His musical strategy is to have the singing done live on set, and to have the camera bore in on the actors, especially during solos. The singing does indeed have immediacy, and the close-ups give the audience intimacy with the characters. Hugh Jackman, as Jean Valjean, voices big themes of guilt and redemption with the hit- you-over-the-head lyrics, but what he personally brings to the role is a restless physicality. Anne Hathaway is raw and touching and sings like an angel as Fantine, the doomed factory girl, and Samantha Barks is terrific as street-smart Éponine. We all lose with Russell Crowe’s constipated performance as Valjean’s pursuer, Javert. But the piece isn’t only about individuals; it’s also about a people’s rebellion played out against a satisfy- ing backdrop of 19th-century Parisian filth. | 158m | XX LINCOLN | 2012 | Shot in se- pia tints, with detailed period sets and ornate facial hair, the tableaux vivants that constitute Steven Spiel- berg’s wry hagiography resemble Mathew Brady daguerreotypes, and are about as lively. Focusing on the passage of the 13th Amendment (which gave former slaves the rights of citizens) and showing how shady means can achieve a noble end, this stolid effort doesn’t draw much vitality from screenwriter Tony Kushner’s florid dialogue. He waxes Shakespearean with his rhetoric, and some scenes, like a row between the President and First Lady (Sally Field), would have played nicely on the Ford Theatre stage in 1865. As a history lesson, it beats the slide shows of Ken Burns. Having the most Oscar-pandering cast of the year helps — like Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role. But except for some domestic stress, this Lincoln doesn’t develop much beyond being a genial blowhard. Even the conflict of resort- ing to dubious tactics doesn’t ruffle his sanctity. | 159m | MOVIE 43 | 2013 | Director Peter Farrelly handpicked a cast of 12 other directs — including the likes of Elizabeth Banks, Bob Odenkirk, and Brett Ratner — to each direct a dif- ferent storyline in this over-the-top comedic farce. Notable cast members include Gerard Butler, Kate Winslet, Emma Stone, and Hugh Jackman. | 97m | PARKER | 2013 | Jason Statham ac- tion vehicle in which he stars as the eponymous professional thief set on getting revenge on his disloyal crew. Taylor Hackford directs, while Jen- nifer Lopez and Michael Chiklis also star. | 118m | XXXX ZERO DARK THIRTY | 2012 | Zero Dark Thirty begins in terror and ends in despair. The first image is a black screen with the date “Sep- tember 11, 2001,” and a background sound of panicked, doomed voices on cell phones. The last shot is of one person in tears. In between, director Kathryn Bigelow and screen- writer Mark Boal depict the failures and successes, the shame and tri- umph of 10 years in the War on Terror. Densely detailed, superbly shot and acted, illuminating and thrilling, it is the best film of 2012. Every epic needs a hero, and here Maya (Jessica Chastain), uneasily fills the role. She enters the film as one of the CIA agents watching the interrogation of Ammar (Reda Kateb), a detainee. At first she shows the revulsion that most would feel watching a person being tortured and humiliated. But once she fills a bucket for the waterboard- ing, she’s implicated. With more experience, her revulsion gives way to routine. That’s a feeling viewers might not share, though perhaps they, too, are implicated. Shot with the handheld, precisely edited im- mediacy that Bigelow demonstrated in The Hurt Locker, this procedural is exhausting and exciting. And though we know how it ends, do we know what it means? | 156m | Film XXX CAPE SPIN: AN AMERICAN POWER STRUGGLE 90 minuteS | cable car When you have the Kennedys and the Koch brothers on the same side of an issue, it’s hard to know what to think. That’s just one of the paradoxes of the Cape Wind clean-en- ergy project, a plan proposed in 2001 to build 130 wind turbines in Nantucket Sound. As re- lated in John Kirby and Robbie Gemmel’s rol- licking documentary, two groups battled for 10 years over the proposal, one made up of residents who protested the despoliation of their pristine waterway, the other environ- mentalists fighting for clean energy sources. But who were these groups, really: where did they get their money and what were their agendas? The filmmakers employ the usual talking heads but spice it up with snippets of goofy archival footage that sometimes seem more insipid than ironic. Nonetheless, a dizzying look into the deceptive world of po- litical activism, worth it for a glimpse at the making of a Daily Show segment alone. _Peter Keough XX QUARTET 99 minuteS | Jane pickenS At age 75, actor Dustin Hoffman is a gradu- ate at last to directing a film, and he takes it slow and easy with his initial foray behind the camera. Very veteran British actors nibble on the scenery in this pleasant, harm- less adaptation of Ronald Harwood’s 1999 middlebrow play set in a retirement home for ex-opera performers. As one can surmise, each character is delightfully eccentric, none more so than the self-absorbed one-time diva (reliable Maggie Smith) whose sudden arrival at the home causes havoc. Will she, or won’t she, have a rapprochement with the ex-hus- band (Tom Courtenay) whom she walked out on? Will she, or won¹t she, join the others on stage in a quartet rendition of Verdi? Not to worry: it all unravels splendidly in this teeth-in-a-glass comedic drama. _Gerald Peary XXW THE LAST STAND 107 minuteS | cinema world + entertain- ment + iSland + providence place 16 + ShowcaSe + SwanSea Stadium 12 Rather than scapegoat Hollywood for caus- ing gun violence, the NRA should encourage films like this lighthearted bloodbath. Look- ing more like Reno 911 than Seal Team Six, the FBI gets its ass kicked when ninja com- mandos break a Mexican drug cartel kingpin out of custody. As the fugitive roars to the border in a Corvette that cruises at 200 MPH, nothing can stop him except Sheriff Ray Ow- ens (Arnold Schwarzenegger) of Sommerton Junction, AZ, and his handful of deputies. Who needs the Feds when you’ve got the Ter- minator, a crew of local heroes, and a kook gun collector with enough ordinance to fight the Battle of the Bulge? That Second Amend- ment sure kicks ass. Korean director Kim Jee-woon (I Saw the Devil) here does hackwork — literally, with Owens cutting thugs in two with a 1939 Vickers machine gun. “I’ve seen enough blood and death,” he intones. “I know what’s coming.” So do we: he’s back. _Peter Keough XX BROKEN CITY 109 minuteS | cinema world + entertain- ment + iSland + providence place 16 + ShowcaSe + SwanSea Stadium 12 To paraphrase Roman Polanski’s masterful noir, it’s not Chinatown. Not for lack of trying, though, as burly gumshoe and disgraced ex- cop Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) initiates a creaky, convoluted plot by taking 50 grand from lubricious New York mayor Hostetler (Russell Crowe) to find out who’s shtupping Hizzoner’s wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Before you can say Noah Cross, Billy finds himself drawn into a maelstrom of corruption, shady real estate deals, extortion, murder, and half-baked dialogue. This, plus the ordeal of watching his actress wife get humped in an “indie” movie, drives the recovering alcoholic Taggert back to the Jameson bottle, allowing Wahlberg to stir from his inertia and draw on his explosive physicality. Meanwhile, direc- tor Allen Hughes tries to be “indie” himself by pointlessly circling the camera around random scenes. Jeffrey Wright distinguishes himself in the star-heavy cast as the morally ambiguous police commissioner; for his re- ward he gets the best line in the film. _Peter Keough XXW MAMA 106 minuteS | cinema world + iSland + providence place 16 + ShowcaSe + SwanSea Stadium 12 This creepy Guillermo Del Toro-produced horror flick (his hallmarks are all around the smudgy edges) demonstrates convincingly that step-parenting is a real bitch. Especially when a deranged she-demon from beyond the grave has laid all the groundwork. The step-mom is Annabelle (Jessica Chastain, miles away from The Help or Zero Dark Thirty) who couldn’t be less maternal, as she swigs beer straight from the bottle and jams out with her punk rock pals. Alas, motherhood is thrust upon her when her artist boyfriend’s orphaned nieces, long given up for dead, are discovered living alone in the woods like grubby changelings. Annabelle does her best to put up with — and eventually care for — the two girls, but it becomes increasingly obvious that someone . . . or something . . . has gotten there first. First-time director Andrés Muschietti makes the scares in Mama too obvious to be effective, but the quiet in-between times suggest genuine horror, as the hapless Annabelle tries to undo some seriously fucked-up pre-parenting. _Alexandra Cavallo FShort Takes new movieS movie reviewS in brieF DELIGHTFULLY ECCENTRIC Maggie Smith in Quartet.

Full moons are useful for taking a crisis to a breaking point, or bringing random people together to make a “team.” Since this moon is in child- centered Leo, you may find an urge to procreate somehow blends with a desire to get a whole new set of toys (hey, it happens). If you need to make a decision, and you feel it’s all too confusing right now, you do have another two weeks until the new moon, when decisiveness comes more easily.

Full moons are useful for taking a crisis to a breaking point, or bringing random people together to make a “team.” Since this moon is in child- centered Leo, you may find an urge to procreate somehow blends with a desire to get a whole new set of toys (hey, it happens). If you need to make a decision, and you feel it’s all too confusing right now, you do have another two weeks until the new moon, when decisiveness comes more easily.

Semanario en español - 13 al 19 de mayo de 2004 - Año 1 - Nº 1 www.elplaneta.com Maradona está de psiquiatra El astro del fútbol argentino fue internado nuevamente y esta vez fue medicado con una cura de sueño y una estricta dieta para tratar su adicción a las drogas P9 Lecciones para CEO La inesperada muerte de Jim Cantalupo, presidente de McDonald's, dejó una clara enseñanza empresarial P4 L as historias de conflic-tos bélicos traen rabia,alegría, orgullo, decep- ción, tristeza, coraje y frustra- ción. Los sentimientos se mezclan y los seres humanos son susceptibles a éstos debi- do a la información que llega, desde sitios remotos, a través de los medios de comunica- ción. Y es que cuando se sabe de la muerte en combate de un jugador de fútbol, o el es- cape de un contratista nortea- mericano de su prisión en Irak, el orgullo nacionalista y la energía entra por las venas. Entonces ¿qué se puede sentir o pensar cuando se compara la historia de dos jovencitas enviadas a pelear por su país? Una rescatada y convertida en heroína, otra que, en medio de su embara- zo, recibirá cargos por maltra- ar a prisioneros de guerra. Si revisamos las dos histo- rias, la de Jessica Lynch y la de Lynndie England, los me- Las caras de la guerraDos ? dios de comunicación en Estados Unidos hicieron lo propio para cada relato: sus fotos, sus documentales, sus retrospectivas y un trato sen- sacionalista que mueve los sentimientos de una audiencia ansiosa por saber qué sucede. Muchos aplauden a los medios de comunicación por cómo Jessica Lynch llegó al estrellato nacional, militar, económico y hasta social. Otros culpan a los medios de comunicación por el des- graciado futuro de Lynndie England. Entonces, ¿Quién debe reflexionar? LO BUENO LO MALO LO FEO El negro futuro de Michael Jackson El rey del pop fue dejado de lado para interpretar We are de Future, el megacoro del nuevo milenio P15 Los Red Sox le han ganado a los Yankees de Nueva York seis de los siete partidos que han disputado en lo que va de campaña, hecho que no sucedía desde 1913, coronando tal inicio aquel fin de semana cuando el equipo de Boston barrió la serie en el propio Yankee Stadium. Este hecho tiene a la ciudad muy optimista y contenta. Esta euforia tiene tres mosqueteros como protagonistas que son dominicanos: Pedro Martínez, quien lanzó una bala ante Nueva York; Manny Ramírez, ahora ciudadano de EEUU, que ha dado cuadrangulares a mitad de los encuentros contra los neoyorquinos; y David Ortiz, con sus batazos oportunos. Ahora, Martínez está en el ojo del huracán, no por sus dotes de pelotero, sino por su oscuro futuro con los patirrojos.

Entérese aquí de quién es el arquitecto Juan Ramón Villa Gómez P3 Victorias para barrer 2 El Planeta LA REGION 13 al 19 de mayo de 2004 Massachusetts El pasado 4 de mayo, el Alcalde Thomas M. Menino dio la bienvenida en el City Hall a Gerónimo Gutierrez, subsecretario para América del Norte de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores de México, y a Porfirio Muñoz Ledo, Cónsul General de México en Boston LLAARREEGGIIOONN BREVES NEGOCIOS EN TIEMPOS DIFÍCILES Katheryn Sodergberg, presidente de Soderberg Insurance Services, convenció a la audiencia de comerciantes latinos -que asistió al seminario sobre negocios organizado por la Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corporation- para que tomen en cuenta lo importante, y algunas veces obligatorio, que es tener sus negocios, equipos y personal asegurados, además de los factores básicos necesarios para la contabilidad y los impuestos en tiempos buenos y malos. EDWARD SORPRENDE El senador Edward Kennedy impresionó con su discurso especial como orador principal de la reunión hispano-latina de política, realizada en el museo construido en honor a su hermano J. F. Kennedy en U-Mass. Habló de educación, del maltrato a los inmigrantes latinos, dio cifras y demostró su conocimiento de los adelantos que ha tenido la comunidad hispana en Massachussets. U n nutrido grupo de eru-ditos en varias disciplinasy un gran público, calcu- lado en unas 300 personas, se dio cita en la conferencia de la Univer- sidad de Harvard, convocada por Doris Sommer, directora de la Agencia de Iniciativa Cultural (Cul- tural Agency Initiative) y Nonie K. Lesaux, profesora asistente de Har- vard, para analizar los beneficios del bilingüismo. Lawrence H. Summers, presi- dente de la universidad, al dar la bienvenida al grupo de asistentes comenzó su exposición con el pie derecho, reconociendo lo impor- tante de la reunión y enfatizando que es imposible argumentar en contra de lo favorable de hablar más de una lengua. Sin embargo, Summers cerró su charla con algunos puntos que causaron confusión, haciendo men- ción al artículo de Samuel Hun- tington que analiza la identidad na- cional de los estadounidenses. En- tre otras cosas: 1.- Aconsejó a los presentes que contemplen la posibilidad de estar equivocados en las con- clusiones a las que se lleguen en la conferencia. 2.- Se preguntó que si en el año 2050 Harvard tendría que enseñar EL PRESIDENTE DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE HARVARD SE CONTRADICE El bilingüismo tiene sus cosas buenas Los estudios muestran que los niños que hablan dos idiomas tienen mayor capacidad intelectual, pero hay quienes todavía guardan algunas reservas Redacción Bienvenida diplomática en muchos idiomas, cuáles serían las consecuencias de ello. 3.- Indicó que apoyaba el bilingüismo en la medida que el inglés sea la lengua central, ya que ésta se ha convertido en la "lengua franca" del mundo. 4.- Habló del peligro que existe de que el sureste norteamericano se convierta en un Québec, como si lo bello que existe en esa cultura fuera malo. Sus argumentos parecen favo- recer las conclusiones xenófobas de Samuel Huntington. Pero después de esa aparente bajada, sin embargo, todo favoreció al bilingüismo en la conferencia. Por ejemplo, se dieron esta- dísticas que confirman que los ni- ños bilingües tienen una mejor capacidad intelectual y muchas otras muestras de lo favorable que es hablar más de un idioma.

Cuando se escucha a las personas que esperan el "T" en Maverick Squa- re, o que caminan por la Central Squa- re/Liberty Plaza o salen de la iglesia The Holy Redeemer, se conoce un defecto común: muy pocos hispanos conocen sus representantes políticos, y muchos que los conocen se sienten mal representados. Fuentes cercanas a la comunidad hispana le comentaron a El Planeta que para renovar u obtener permisos de cualquier índole en East Boston es un largo y tedioso proceso que puede llevar meses y gastos legales impre- vistos que golpean los bolsillos de los empréndedores de negocios hispanos. ¿Por qué? Las respuestas varían. Pero hay una opinión común que podría resumirse en la poca unidad y representatividad de los empresarios hispanos de East Boston ante los orga- nismos reguladores, incluyendo desde funcionarios públicos de la alcaldía, hasta policías y bomberos. "La idea no es acercarse a los políticos y funcionarios públicos sólo cuando necesitamos ayuda, más bien tenemos que establecer una estrategia para buscar una identificación clara entre nosotros los comerciantes y ellos los políticos y gobernantes", afir- mó un comerciante de origen colom- biano que prefirió no ser identificado. Agregó que "tenemos que conocer a las personas que están en puestos cla- ves de la gobernación y alcaldía".

Cantalupo, era un ejecutivo retirado de McDonald's cuando fue llamado hace un año a tomar las riendas de la empresa que estaba en momentos financieros difíciles y con una mala imagen por su comida rápida no saludable. Can- talupo que llegó a ser presidente de McDonald's Inter- nacional, como CEO de la empresa la limpió financiera- mente en un año, hizo cambios de publicidad y hasta mo- dificó su menú de productos incluyendo ensaladas, sánd- wiches dietéticos y hasta una hamburguesa baja en calorías. En un año las acciones de McDonald's duplicaron su precio. Cantalupo era el genio de esta fuerte transformación de la empresa de los arcos dorados. Sin embargo, en la convención de franquiciados de McDonald's en Orlando, Jim Cantalupo sufrió de un ataque al corazón y perdió la vida. Apenas pocas horas después de la fatal noticia, el directorio de la empresa, que estaba en Orlando, nombró a Charlie Bell, el director de Operaciones de McDonald's como nuevo CEO. Bell, es un hombre joven que empezó en la empresa trabajando en una tienda y pasó a ser mano derecha de Cantalupo. El anuncio agradó a inversionistas, empleados y franquiciados; por lo cual las acciones de la empresa y el plan de transformación no sufrieron lo que algunos analistas pensaron una vez que murió su líder. Académicos reconocidos y ejecutivos como Jack Welch y Warrem Buffet; han declarado que esta rápida reacción del directorio de McDonald's es una enseñanza que toda empresa debe tener un plan B, o un potencial candidato a sustituir al actual CEO rápidamente, evitando crear incertidumbres. Estos expertos dijeron además que saben que no todas las directivas de empresas importantes en los EEUU tienen un plan alternativo ante estas inesperadas noticias. HNP El mestizaje perfecto La rápida reacción del directorio de McDonald's, tras el fallecimiento de Jim Cantalupo, es calificada como una enseñanza de que toda empresa debe tener un plan B DISNEY NO DISTRIBUIRÁ DOCUMENTAL CONTRA BUSH La compañía Walt Disney no permitirá que su subsidiaria Miramax distribuya el nuevo documental de Michael Moore, titulado Faranheit 911, que critica al presidente estadounidense, George W.

BREVES Una muerte inesperada 513 al 19 de mayo de 2004 LA NACION El Planeta Redacción El 27 de abril El Boston Globe publicó la obra John F. Kerry: The Complete Biography: By the Boston Globe Reporters Who Know Him Best. Se trata de un nuevo libro sobre Kerry, candidato a la presiden- cia por el partido demócrata. El libro no está autorizado por Kerry, lo cual hace más atractivo echarle un vistazo. Este balance de reportajes convertido en libro denota comparaciones tales como el tan publicado saludo de manos que tuvo en alguna ocasión Bill Clinton y John F. Kennedy, también se relata cómo Kerry salía con la hermana de Jackey Kennedy y muestra una foto de un viaje en velero del candidato demócrata y el ex presidente. Su vida en los internados en Suiza, en Nueva Inglaterra y en Yale, así como sus actua- ciones en Vietnam y en la política nortea- mericana, es parte de la obra. INUSITADA COOPERACIÓN El pasado 17 de junio de 2003 se realizó un encuentro virtual, vía chat, entre uno de los contribuyentes del periódico bostoniano, Michael Kranish y la audien- cia cibernauta de Boston.com para conver- sar sobre la investigación que el Boston Globe hizo sobre John Kerry. Kranish confirmó que realizó tres entrevistas a Kerry en persona y otra por teléfono. También informó que Kerry contribuyó con algunos documentos importantes, pero recordó que una cosa es colaboración y otra cooperación, refirién- dose a la historia recibida del lado de Kerry. Kranish da a entender que cualquier persona que haya conocido a Kerry y lea el trabajo de investigación realizado por el periódico, aprenderá cosas nuevas del candidato demócrata.

PELIGRO DEL OFICIO REUTERS.- Irak y Cuba encabezan la lista de los países más peligrosos para los periodistas, informó el Comité de Protección de Periodistas, con sede en Nueva York. Desde el inicio de la invasión a Irak liderada por Estados Unidos, 25 periodistas han muerto en acción en este país. El segundo país en la lista es Cuba, donde una represalia lanzada el año pasado por el gobierno de Fidel Castro contra la oposición y la prensa independiente resultó en el encarcelamiento de 29 periodistas, con sanciones de hasta 27 años. El tercero es Zimbabwe y le siguen Turkmenistán, Bangladesh, China, Eritrea, Haití, Cisjordania, Gaza y Rusia. EEUU es el gran acreedor de China REUTERS.- La República Popular China, una nación en pleno desa- rrollo se puede jactar que el Tesoro norteamericano esté en deuda con ellos por un monto de 145 mil mi- llones de dólares, siendo el segundo tenedor de bonos estadounidenses más importante a nivel internacio- nal, después de Japón. Según el Banco Mundial (BM), China es el estado con mayor cre- cimiento económico de la última década superando en un 400% al promedio mundial. Después de países como Estados Unidos, Japón y la Unión Europea (UE), China posee la cuarta economía con ma- yor incursión en el mercado inter- nacional. Hoy en día el gigante asiático amenaza a los principales socios comerciales de Estados Uni- dos, México y Canadá. Las exportaciones de manu- facturas representan el 90% de las ventas internacionales chinas y un 20,4% de estas exportaciones son productos de alta tecnología. Esta situación económica refleja un promedio parecido al que reportan los países ricos. Estas cifras sor- prendentes defienden aquella tesis que dice que la política y la econo- mía van por caminos diferentes. P rimero fue España, luego Hon-duras y ahora el presidentedominicano, Hipólito Mejía, quien ordenó la retirada, lo antes posible, de sus 300 soldados despla- zados en Irak. El motivo de su retirada, según el ministro de Defensa domini- cano, José Miguel Soto, es que Repú- blica Dominicana ofreció ayuda para la reconstrucción de Irak, pero el empeoramiento de la situación en el país árabe le ha hecho replantearse la situación con respecto a la función de sus soldados en esa zona de guerra. Además, el ministro dominicano explica que su decisión también está influida por las retiradas de España y Honduras. La retirada de las tropas dominicanas estaba prevista para junio, pero la vuelta a casa de los militares de España y Honduras han adelantado la decisión. Tras la retirada de España, Hon- duras y República Dominicana, la Brigada Plus Ultra, destinada en Diwa- niya, ahora sólo está formada por los soldados de El Salvador, cuyo presi- dente anunció ayer que permanecerán hasta el mes de agosto. Por su parte, Alvaro Uribe, presidente de Colombia, está pensando plantearle al Congreso de su país el envío de tropas a Irak, aunque muchos analistas piensan que el Parlamento colombiano no autorice dicha solicitud.

De enero a febrero se reportaron 317 secuestros, una gran disminución en comparación con los 586 que ocurrieron en Colombia en el mismo período en el 2003, según el Departamento Nacional de Planificación. Este ha sido el índice menor de secuestros en ocho años. El éxito del presidente Álvaro Uribe para disminuir la violencia y los secuestros ha mantenido su popularidad entre la población en alrededor del 80%, lo que lo ha estimulado a presentar un proyecto para cambiar una ley que le permitiría ir a la reelección en el 2006. Uribe ha aumentado el gasto militar y ha lanzado a las fuerzas armadas contra los rebeldes marxistas, que han realizado casi la mitad de los secuestros, según datos del gobierno. Los rebeldes colombianos secuestraron a la mayoría de sus víctimas para obtener dinero con el cual financiar la guerra que desde hace cuatro décadas libran contra el gobierno. Sin embargo, también han secuestrado a políticos prominentes, incluida la ex candidata presidencial Ingrid Betancourt y tres contratistas civiles de Estados Unidos que, según han dicho, pondrán en libertad sólo cuando liberen a los guerrilleros encarcelados. El índice de homicidios de Colombia, uno de los más elevados en el mundo, también decayó entre enero y marzo en 14% para ubicarse en 5.308 casos.

En primer lu- gar, declaró al periódico Hoy de Santo Do- mingo luego de la barrida de los Medias Rojas ante los Yankees; que los continuos comentarios que la prensa bostoniana hace sobre su persona, tienen el fin de devaluarlo como pelotero. "Hay gente que piensa que estoy acabado. Quieren devaluarme porque estoy en mi ultimo año de mi contrato", dijo Martínez al diario dominicano. "Algunos no solamente quieren devaluarme, sino hasta sacarme de la pelota. Y ese plan, no se le dará a esa gente" añadió Martínez. Ciertamente mucha de la prensa de Bos- ton, desde los entrenamientos primaverales, han estado comentando que Martínez ya no es el mismo, y que su recta ya no tiene velo- cidad. Curiosamente, estas declaraciones del pelotero a la prensa dominicana fueron rese- ñados por diarios latinos únicamente. La novela de Martínez a penas comen- zaba. La semana siguiente, el estelar lanzador declaró que las negociaciones de renovación de su contrato con los patirrojos estaban rotas, es decir que al final de la temporada probaría el mercado de agentes libres. La diferencia fundamental entre la gerencia de los Medias Rojas y Martínez es la longitud del nuevo contrato. El pelotero pide mínimo tres años y los Medias Rojas dicen que es mucho que ya tiene 33 años y no quieren algo a largo plazo. Ese mismo argumento fue el que hizo que Roger Clemens saliera del equipo hace varios años. El compañero dominicano de Martínez en los Medias Rojas, Manny Ramírez -que fue colocado por la gerencia del equipo en waivers al final de la temporada, llamado por algunos expertos un cáncer para el equipo- a dado una clase de humildad, señoría y compañerismo al declarar que estaría dispuesto a rebajarse el sueldo con el fin de que la gerencia de los Medias Rojas contrate de nuevo a Martínez. Y no solo eso. Ramírez dijo que está dis- puesto a renegociar su contrato con tal de que el equipo contrate de nuevo a Pedro Martínez y Nomar Garciaparra.

Pero en él también se destruye la sociedad, esto es recíproco”, señaló Grabin en diálogo con Reuters. La psicóloga consideró también que el síndrome de abstinencia que actualmente sufre Maradona por su adicción a las drogas, “puede tener un trágico final si no se le obliga a realizar un programa de rehabilitación”. “La abstinencia es psíquica y física. Cuando el individuo consume cocaína genera una serie de cambios a nivel cardiovascular que cuando no la recibe le va en menos”, destacó por su parte el cardiólogo Pablo Klin. “La cocaína trae un tipo de miocardiopatía dilatada. El corazón se agranda y se deteriora la función (de bombeo) pero eso es potencialmente reversible”, agregó. Maradona, de 43 años, fue internado en la madrugada del miércoles por segunda vez en tres semanas tras sufrir una recaída por una “transgresión alimentaria”, según los médicos de la Clínica y Maternidad Suizo Argentina. ENFERMO PSIQUIÁTRICO “(Maradona) es un paciente con una problemática psiquiátrica, como lo es la adicción, que no está en condiciones de decidir y debería ser protegido mediante un tratamiento con internación”, señaló en tanto Grabin, quien también cumple funciones en la guardia general de un hospital. “Maradona, y cualquiera en su situación, es un enfermo, es peligroso para los demás y para sí mismo”, destacó. El ídolo del fútbol Diego Maradona pasó su primera noche en la clínica psiquiátrica de las afueras de Buenos Aires, en la que fue internado el domingo pasado, donde inició una cura de sueño y una dieta estricta, primer paso para un largo trata- miento contra su adicción a las drogas, informaron fuentes médicas.

Uno de los asuntos que MLB decidirá en los próximos días será determinar los países que partici- parán en la Copa y cómo serán conformados los equipos. Pero el comunicado oficial que anunció el acuerdo indica que MLB y la Aso- ciación de Jugadores se comunica- rán con varias federaciones y ligas profesionales para determinar las naciones participantes y la elegi- bilidad de los jugadores. Sin embargo, se adelantó que el esperado Mundial de Béisbol esta- ría conformado por 16 equipos y que comenzará para marzo de 2005. Los países probables que partici- parían en el torneo son Canadá, México, República Dominicana, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Panamá, Corea, Japón, Australia, Taiwán y Estados Unidos, que será el país anfitrión del primer campeonato. Este proyecto ha sido objetado por la Confederación de Béisbol del Caribe, quienes afirman que la realización del Mundial afectaría la histórica Serie del Caribe y las ligas invernales en Venezuela, República Dominicana, Puerto Rico y México. Los peloteros nacidos en los países miembros de la Confede- ración de Béisbol Profesional del Caribe representan en las Grandes Ligas la población más grande de jugadores no nacidos en Estados Unidos.

Schumacher logra quinto triunfo seguido REUTERS.- El alemán Michael Schumacher ganó el domingo el Gran Premio de España de la Fórmula Uno e igualó el mejor inicio de una temporada en la historia de la máxima categoría del automovilismo al imponerse en las cinco primeras carreras del 2004. El séxtuple campeón del mundo, piloto de Ferrari, celebró su participación 200 en la F1 con un triunfo en el circuito de Cataluña, en el que se impuso con una ventaja de 13,2 segundos sobre el brasileño Rubens Barrichello, su compañero de equipo. De esta manera, Ferrari consiguió el tercer “uno- dos” de la temporada. Schumacher igualó la marca del británico Nigel Mansell, que en 1992 y corriendo para Williams, ganó las primeras cinco carreras de la temporada. El domingo Schumacher logró su triunfo número 75 en la F1. “Son 200 (carreras), son 75 (victorias). Muchos números se juntan. Cinco triunfos consecutivos. Muchos números lindos de los que estoy orgulloso”, dijo el alemán. “Pero ahora miro hacia delante”, agregó. GRAN TAREA DE TRULLI El italiano Jarno Trulli, de Renault, fue tercero y consiguió su primer podio en la temporada después de una largada espectacular desde la segunda fila y de liderar la carrera en las primeras ocho vueltas. El español Fernando Alonso, compañero de Trulli, terminó en el cuarto puesto. Más atrás llegaron el japonés Takuma Sato, de BAR, y Ralf Schumacher, hermano menor de Michael y piloto de Williams. Ferrari suma 82 puntos en el Campeonato de Constructores, seguido por Renault con 42, BAR con 32 y Williams con 30.

A nivel de selecciones, la on- cena venezolana llamada por su uniforme "la vinotinto", se encuen- tra en el cuarto lugar de la clasifi- cación sudamericana empatada con el tetracampeon mundial Brasil. Es decir, si hoy finalizaran las elimina- torias,Venezuela estaría con un cupo fijo en el Mundial de Alemania. Esto no es casualidad, ni suerte, ha sido un proceso de transfor- mación que comenzó a finales de la pasada eliminatoria cuando el di- rector técnico, Richard Páez, tomó las riendas del equipo y la selección venezolana logró ganar 5 partidos consecutivos. De esta manera, finalizó de sép- timo lugar en la clasificación suda- mericana entre diez países para el mundial Corea - Japón 2002. Esta metamorfosis de la vino- tinto llegó a su máximo punto en el pasado partido de eliminatorias ante el bicampeón mundial Uru- guay, en el tradicional estadium Centenario de Montevideo, donde dando gala de humildad, orden y disciplina, los venezolanos vencie- ron 3 a 0 a los charruas. El marca- dor ocasionó el despido del técnico uruguayo. Pero no todo es a nivel de se- lección. En la Copa Libertadores, los equipos venezolanos figuraron en lo más alto, superando oncenas que son históricas en Sudamérica. El Deportivo Táchira finalizó se- gundo en su grupo, superado por el famoso River Plate; sin embargo, los tachirenses no perdieron ningún partido y empataron ante River en el Monumental de Buenos Aires.

Un famoso profesor de Harvard dice que los Estados Unidos será dividido por culpa de la amenaza que representa la cultura hispana. Los hispanos debemos ver esta profecía como una oportunidad. El Planeta llegará solo a la mente de los que hablan español, está dedicado a los que piensan en español, a los que leen en español y a los que sienten en español. Si este editorial es una amenaza, entonces ¡Qué viva nuestra invasión hispana! En este Planeta, bienvenido sea el que se esfuerce por mantener nuestra lengua por encima de toda mezcla cultural y el que se convenza que la diversidad es la base del desarrollo y liderazgo en este país. Los hispanos están presentes en cada vagón del T, en cada pasillo del Logan, en cada caminería del Boston Common. Los Red Sox dependen de Nomar, Manny, Pedro y David. Putnam Investments contrató a Irene Estévez, una puertorriqueña, para que pusiera orden en las finanzas, John Kerry sabe que los hispanos lo ayudaron a llegar al sitio donde se encuentra, y el propio presidente George Bush siempre aplaude la labor de los hispanos en los diferentes sectores económicos, políticos y hasta militares dentro y fuera de Estados Unidos. Y es que los hispanos traen alegría, comprensión, trabajo, nueva generación y muchas, pero muchas ganas de que este país sea grande. Si a esto se le puede llamar una invasión pues este periódico nació para ser un soldado en el pelotón hispano de Boston.

Se puede llamar al 800 233-1636, enviar un e- mail a information@goprovidence.com, o sencillamente consultar la página web www.tourprovidence.com PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND downtown incorpora canales de agua en los que no es raro observar góndolas y taxis acuáticos para transportar pasajeros que apro- vechan la conveniencia de viajar a través de la ciudad usando los ríos Woonasquatucket y Moshassuck. El agua en Providence también brinda un espectáculo artístico cuando, cada año, miles de visitantes se reúnen para el WaterFire, un espectáculo de fuego sobre el agua de los canales que cruzan el centro. Blackstone Boulevard presenta otra cara de Providence: la ciudad histórica y antigua con algunas de las mejores casas del siglo XVIII y XIX en los Estados Unidos. Benefit Street es otro punto que vale la pe- na visitar para transportarse al pasado. Si de educación se trata, en Providence se encuentra el campus de la famosa Brown University y algunos departamentos de la mun- dialmente famosa Rhode Island School of Design. La ciudad resulta convenien- temente accesible desde Boston y desde muchas ciudades de Nueva Inglaterra, con rutas de buses conectándola a diario y con un aeropuerto que guarda estándares mundiales. De manera que no hay excusa para dejar de dar un paseo por Providence. 13 P rovidence es la segundaciudad más grande de NewEngland. Una metrópolis con un downtown lleno de vida, vibrante escena artística y opciones gastronómicas que compiten con los restaurantes de Boston: Provi- dence, Rhode Island lo tiene todo. El centro de Providence se presenta como un testimonio de que los vecindarios pueden ser resca- tados con trabajo. Conocido como el “downcity”, esta área, que estuvo abandonada y descuidada, se levan- ta otra vez con escuelas, aparta- mentos, oficinas y estudios de arte. No en vano cadenas como el hotel Marriott han instalado grandes edi- ficaciones para los visitantes. Pero Providence es más que comercio y edificaciones, es una ciudad que se complementa con sus ríos.

Tiene 28 capítulos y mas de 5000 miembros en los Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico. La misión de NSHMBA es promover el liderazgo de los Hispanos a través de la educación superior en negocios y los programas de desarrollo profesional. La Sociedad trabaja para preparar a los Hispanos para desempeñar posiciones de liderazgo en los Estados Unidos ya que ellos cuentan con esa sensibilidad cultural que es tan importante para el manejo de la fuerza laboral del país. Para mayor información acerca de NSHMBA, visite la página web de nuestra organización www.nshmba.org El Children's Museums es textualmente un “juego de niños”, pero en el buen sentido de la expresión: cientos de actividades en las que los más pequeños de la casa pueden desarrollar habi- lidades lúdicas y aprender so- bre otras culturas. Jugar, apren- der, descubrir, reflexionar y ¡jugar otra vez! El Children's Museum está ubicado en la 300 Congress Sreet y es fácilmente accesible ya sea por auto o por trans- portación pública. Resulta recomendable tomar el T hasta South Station y desde allí caminar hasta el museo. El museo funciona de lunes a jueves desde las 10am hasta las 5pm, y los viernes de 10am a 9pm. Los adultos pagan $9 y los niños hasta quince años $7, pero especialmente los viernes, en el horario comprendido de 5pm a 9pm, el ticket cuesta tan sólo un dólar para los chiquilines. Existe más información en www.bostonkids.org, no obstante hay dos exhibiciones que no se pueden obviar. 1.- El Supermercado:¡Sí! Un super- mercado latino adentro del museo para que los niños de todas las culturas aprendan sobre la región latinoame- ricana, la comida y el gusto por la buena mesa. Los peque- ños clientes de este super- mercado pueden realizar todas las actividades que realizarían en un supemercado real, sin que sus padres corran el riesgo de que le cobren por todo lo que rompen. 2.- Cinco Amigos del Japón: Esta es una exhibición interactiva en la que los niños pueden aprender acerca de lo que tienen en común y lo que diferencia a los pequeños de Japón de los niños de los Estados Unidos. ¿Cómo estudian los niños japoneses? ¿Cómo se visten y a qué juegan? La muestra estará abierta hasta el 17 de mayo.

En esta extensa película de dos horas y media, un ex soldado americano (Denzel Washington) llega a México a visitar a su colega en armas Reyburn (Christopher Walken), quien lo persuade de que trabaje como guardaespaldas de la niña Pinta Balletto (Dakota Fanning), quien es hija de un po- tentado millonario que ha sido amenazado de secuestro. La acción comienza cuando Pinta es secuestrada y Washington, para vengarse, tiene que meterse de lleno en el México no turístico, en donde están los delincuentes, co- rruptos y secuestradores. Una me- galópolis frenética captada con éxi- to por la cámara, en donde el espec- tador se puede sentir fácilmente so- focado por las imágenes.

LOS MELÓDICOS IMPUSIERON SU RITMO Con motivo de celebrar sus 45 años de exitosa carrera artística, la agrupación Los Melódicos se presentó en el Club Lido de Boston el pasado 30 de abril. Fundada en 1958 por Renato Capriles y conocida como “la orquesta que impone el ritmo en Venezuela”, Los Melódicos también es reconocida por su gran repertorio. La orquesta tiene prestigio e influencia no sólo en Venezuela, sino también en varios países de América Latina. BREVES México lindo y… ¡peligroso!Lo sentimos Michael, we are the future REUTERS.- En los ochentas fue We are the World, la canción que agrupó a los artistas más grandes del momento y que se convirtió en un fenómeno mundial, ganando grammys y recaudando 70 millones de dólares en ventas destinados a ayudar a los niños de África. Ahora, regresa Quincy Jones con un nuevo proyecto con fines caritativos enfo- cado también en los niños de África: We are the future. El concierto, que se realizará el 26 de mayo en el Circus Maximus de Roma, contará con la participación de L.L. Cool J, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Natalie Cole, Angelina Jolie, Andrea Bocelli, Oprah Winfrey, el elenco de “Stomp” y artistas de Sudáfrica, Turquía, Pakistán e incluso Irak. Así como hasta el momento no se ha observado la presencia de ningún artista latino, también sorprende que Michael Jackson, el Rey del Pop, no esté invitado a formar parte del proyecto. Jones, quien tiene una larga historia como productor de algunos discos de Jackson, invitó a la estrella a ser uno de los pilares fundamentales de We are the World, pero parece que prefiere mantenerlo alejado en We are the Future. Hasta la ex esposa de Jackson, Lisa Marie Presley, está invitada. Cuando la fama de Jackson no es precisamente la de un “hombre ejemplar” estos días, en el pasado sus donaciones a África han ayudado a construir hospitales y escuelas y a desarrollar pro- gramas de inmunización para niños. La primera vez que Reuters le preguntó a Jones sobre Michael Jackson el productor ignoró la pregunta y siguió hablando con otros invitados. La segunda vez, Jones dijo: “Estoy seguro de que estaría interesado en ello”. Luego cambió de tema. Jackson es dejado de lado para formar parte del nuevo “mega coro” que interpretará el “We are the World” del nuevo milenio Visa para un sueño MMúússiiccaa // FFaarráánndduullaa 16 El Planeta TIEMPO LIBRE 13 al 19 de mayo de 2004 VIDEO DE LA SEMANA Les Triplettes de Belleville, la animación de origen franco- canadiense (entre otros países que participaron en su producción) ya está en DVD.

El loro ha estado con la pareja de Córdoba por 10 años hasta que decidieron divorciarse. El esposo acusa ahora a su ex esposa de robarle el loro y confía en que el juez determinará con quien debe quedarse Paquito. Hasta la policía local está envuelta en la disputa y están tratando de decidir quién es el dueño legítimo. PRISIONEROS QUE SON GUARDIAS Los guardias de seguridad son esenciales en una prisión, es por eso que cuando una cárcel en México se vio corta de personal decidió contratar a gente familiarizada con el trabajo de los guardias: 42 de sus más temibles prisioneros. Una información reseñada por ananova.com, revela que los prisioneros “ascendidos” al cargo de guardias estarían ganando entre 35 y 170 dólares al mes. De acuerdo al periódico mexicano La Reforma, los prisioneros-guardias ayudarán a los pocos guardias profesionales de la prisión de Tepic a mantener a los prisioneros vigilados. Además, la publicación comenta que los prisioneros elegidos para esta labor fueron los que inspiraban mayor miedo entre los reos. Curiosidades 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O El Planeta OPINIONES 13 al 19 de mayo de 2004 Ilán Stavans Leí estos días en The New York Times que el congresista brasileño Aldo Rebelo, a mediados de abril del año en curso, había propuesto una legislación que aspiraba a prohibir en el Brasil el uso de palabras del inglés en el habla popular carioca. Su país, para aquellos que no lo sepan, es el más grande de la América Latina, con un total de 170 millones de habitantes. ¿Cuántas palabras en su portugués nativo utiliza una persona cualquiera en São Paulo en un solo día y cuántas en la lengua de Shakespeare? La empresa del político es quijotesca: el mero sueño de controlar el flujo y reflujo de términos como mall, video market, hot dog, milkshake y drive-in es tan difícil como la de colonizar Marte en patineta. Le molesta que se diga sale cuando existe liquidação. El congresista, tengo entendido, no se opone a los anglicismos ya canonizados en algún diccionario, que, al pasar de los años, quizás hayan deteriorado la lengua de su ídolo, Machado de Asís -quien, de más no está decirlo, era de extracción racial mixta. Su furia está dirigida a los términos que provienen directamente del inglés y que tienen equivalente en portugués. Él los juzga una enfermedad odiosa. El portuñol, según da la impresión, no preocupa a nadie; es el inglés, y en especial el inglés norteamericano, el que deambula por las calles de Río de Janeiro vestido de colonizador. Queda claro que invitar al congresista a chatear sería visto como una injuria, lo que en el spanglish más prosaico se describe con como "el acto de añadirle sal al injury". Sin embargo, chatear es lo que quisiera hacer con él, sin éxito, debo añadir, porque no hay rastro de él en la web. El verbo chatear, en spanglish, refiere una conversación que comprende un switcheo de códigos, un ir y venir del inglés y el castellano. No es lo mismo que "conversar", que, dice el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, es "hablar una o varias personas con otra u otras", y asimismo, "vivir, habitar en compañía de otros". Chatear, pues, es el tránsito verbal bilingüe que denota la experiencia multicultural de sus hablantes. Es precisamente del arte de chatear en lo que pensé cuando me topé con la noticia acerca del congresista mientras webeaba. Mi intención no es mantener un diálogo sin ton ni son, sino ir más allá de las palabras. Eso sólo puede lograrse en la Web, donde el lenguaje es verdaderamente infinito. La Web, sobra decirlo, es la Red, pero nadie que yo conozca en los EE UU se refiere al Internet como "la Red", como lo hace la gente en España, por la simple razón de que en inglés la expresión I'm using the Net no se acostumbra, por lo menos no con la misma frecuencia con que se escuchan las voces Internet y Web. No es lo mismo chatear que webear: el primer vocablo anuncia un diálogo entre "spanglishparlantes" de carne y hueso, e.g., entre personas "en hardcopy"; la segunda actividad se refiere al surfeo o el ejercicio de navegar la Web, cuyas variantes a veces implican el chateo entre dos o más webearios pero que, por lo general, implica mucho más: shopear, wachear una subasta o un partido de ajedrez, o simplemente browsear sin objetivo alguno.

Los expertos analizaron y discutieron dos estudios: "Racial Segregation and Educational Out- come in Metropolitan Boston (por Chungmei Lee) y Race and the Metropolitan Origins of Postsecondary Access to four Year Colleges: the Case of Greater Boston (por Joseph Berger). Especialistas en áreas de educación legal y social fueron invitados a dar sus opiniones con referencia a esos informes, impulsados por el fundador y co- director del Proyecto de Derechos Civiles en Harvard, profesor Gary Orfield. Entre la audiencia se encontraban Tomas Payzant, Superintendente de las escuelas de Boston; Leonard Alkins, Presidente de la National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; y muchos otros líderes de la comunidad de color, pero los latinos brillaron por su ausencia. Tan sólo estuvo presente como panelista Miren Uriarte, del Instituto Gastón, quien hizo una excelente presentación. Así como hubo muchas conclusiones negativas demasiado extensas para incluirlas en detalle, también hubo datos que nos dan una esperanza. Sin embargo, si continuamos fuera de la participación en este tipo de eventos tan importantes seguiremos marginados y sin derecho a pedir justicia. En la medida que nos involucremos, nos acercaremos a lograr cambios positivos.

No se trata de los nor- teamericanos que definitivamente no pueden ser ejemplificados como el epítome de la buena nutrición, sino de algunas culturas europeas y asiáticas. Aquí hay algunos ejemplos encontrados en la investigación realizada por la doctora Silvia Ji- ménez, sobre por qué las personas de algunas culturas europeas en- gordan menos: - FRANCESES De acuerdo al Institut National de la Sante et la Recherche Medicale en París, sólo el 8% de los franceses padecen de obesidad comparado con el 33% de las personas viviendo en los Estados Unidos. Según un estudio publi- cado por R. Curtis Ellison, profesor de Medicina Preventiva y Epide- miología en la Universidad de Los europeos engordan menos Los franceses consumen sus calorías antes de las 2 de la tarde y los mediterráneos combinan poca grasa y buen vino BREVES MUJERES NACIDAS EN VERANO TIENEN MENOS BEBÉS Un estudio realizado recientemente en Austria reveló que las mujeres nacidas en verano tienden a tener menos bebés que las mujeres nacidas en otras estaciones del año. Los doctores de la Universidad de Viena y de la Universidad de Medicina de Viena aún no encuentran una relación directa entre el haber nacido en verano y la capacidad reproductiva. APÚNTALO PARA PRIMAVERA No solo las mujeres tienen derecho a “ropa de la temporada”, los hombres también. Ellos, pueden conservar su estilo, pero deben asegúrarse de tener las siguientes prendas en su guardarropa: Pantalones “khakis” y algunos “shorts”, camisetas interiores de algodón de diversos colores, camisas tipo "polo" casuales, trajes de colores claros o tonos tierra, y zapatos frescos y ligeros, deportivos y casuales. Boston, los franceses consumen aproximadamente el 60% de las calorías de su alimentación antes de las dos de la tarde (desayuno y almuerzo), seguido por una comida ligera en la noche. Además, de acuerdo a la Euro- pean Snack Food Association, el 81% de los franceses no comen snacks o comidas entre comi- das y lo consideran “no salu- dable”. Simplemente, no es parte de su cultura. - DIETA DEL MEDITERRÁNEO Hace 50 años, Ancel Keys, de 97 años, demostró que la gente de los países mediterráneos, con dietas ricas en vegetales, frutas y aceite de oliva, no presentaba enfermedades del corazón. A diferencia de los Estados Unidos, con una dieta rica en grasa saturada (quesos y carnes) y en donde las enfermedades del corazón son causales del 50% de las muertes anuales. Las personas en la zona mediterránea, obtienen só- lo un tercio de sus calorías de la grasa, que es por lo general aceite de oliva (rico en grasa “buena”). Además, consumen vino rojo en cantidades mode- radas, lo que previene enfer- medades del corazón. HNP 20 El Planeta PUBLICIDAD 13 al 19 de mayo de 2004
