Stoning Glad to see that Mr. Stone is going to take the high road and waive his right to that 90 percent retirement! (“Democrats for Wasserman,” News, July 21.) Kudos to you! That is, are you going to practice what you preach?

Or are you going to be like Pete Constant? You know, a hypocrite . . .

JACK HAWKSMOORE | SAN JOSE

Entitlement It’s not really being hypocritical to

refrain from turning down money one is legally entitled to, even if one doesn’t think that the law entitling them to that money is a very good idea. Especially not in a society where you basically can’t live without money. How about people who voted against building Highway 85? Are they hypocrites if they drive on it?

KEVIN O’KEEFE | SAN JOSE

To Half and Half Not “Why Work?” asks Leilani Clark (Cover Story, July 7). Why not just cut the 40-hour workweek in half, and everyone will be happier? A basic law of economics is that our standard of living depends on our output of goods and services: we can only consume what we produce.

Reducing by half the hours we

spend producing useful things will halve the number of useful things for distribution. That will halve the standard of living for everyone.

There is just no getting around that. To even maintain our present standard of living, we need to increase production, not decrease it. And no, we can’t make everyone work harder and do the same job in half the time. That is not realistic; that is not human nature.

The bearded Nysted was frequently seen in a cowboy hat at San Jose State, in local pubs or stopping by the Metro lobby. He’ll be missed. —Editor

Constant Comment Raising two kids at a time is tough; that’s why parents of twins deserve sympathy. And that’s why Fly feels doubly sorry for District 1 San Jose Councilman PETE CONSTANT and his wife, JULIE—the parents of two sets of twins, plus a preschooler. Now Fly hears that Julie Constant has pulled papers to run for the Campbell Union Elementary School District board next fall. So with Julie hot on the campaign trail (against three incumbents and six challengers, no less) and Pete busy slimming down at City Hall, who will be there to shuttle the Constant Army to Greek Dancing class? “With the kids in school during the day, it gives her plenty

to come down from the [Office of Education’s] drinking fountain,” Mann concluded in one note to his fellow board members.. Later missives were copied tocommunity leaders and members of the media.

By making his grievances public, Mann drew the ire of at least one colleague, who last week initiated formal sanctioning proceedings. And by launching his dispute with the superintendent and the board via email, Mann may also have violated the Brown Act, which dictates that public officials not conduct business in private.

The incident followed Weis’ hiring of a new chief business officer. Mann was apparently unhappy about the

superintendent’s choice of Ann Jones for the job, and sent out a series of increasingly provocative emails scolding Weis because he did not choose an African American or Hispanic individual for the position.

“I’m pissed beyond all description,” Mann wrote on June 3.

He wrote that diversity and equal employment would never be achieved at the board “if all of the hires continue to be limited to be in ‘Chuck’s image’ only.”

“I have lost complete, utter confidence in your ability to lead the district beyond your current term which thank God expires in 2012,” Mann wrote Weis on June 4. “My best hope is that you finish your service to the SCCBOE (your employer) in a manner that was expected of you and that you move on quickly . . .”

Three days after Mann’s last email was sent, Ann Jones announced she would be turning down Weis’ appointment, citing a desire to stay in her current job as financial chief for

Race Man On July 14, Leon F. Beauchman, who serves with Mann on the board (and is also African American), wrote a letter rebuking Mann’s “shameful” conduct.

“Never have I seen a board member take deliberate action to embarrass and insult a member of the governing team like Mr. Mann has done,” Beauchman’s wrote. “The messages were increasingly insulting and eventually included a message suggesting that the Superintendent and the County Office of Education were promoting racist practices.”

Beauchman demanded that the board sanction Mann for violating its code of ethics. The board was scheduled to consider that issue at its July 21 meeting.

Mann showed up at the beginning of the regular board meeting with a doctor’s note and informed his colleagues that he was battling a bad cold and was attending the meeting against doctor’s orders.

After the other board members participated in an hour-long closed session to discuss an unrelated student expulsion matter, they came out to find that Mann had left. Board president Anna Song and the five other board members agreed to delay the sanction vote to a special, one item board meeting on Aug. 25.

“I think the board members, includeing myself, felt uncomfortable moving forward with Craig Mann not being there,” Song says. To Song’s knowledge, this is the first time the board has ever considered censoring a trustee.

“We need to dot the i’s and cross the t’s,” Song said, “and make sure [Mann] has an ample chance to respond, and that the process, what is taking place, is very clear to him.”

Board member Joseph Di Salvo says that he feels conflicted.

“I’m positive in my mind that there was no conspiracy to only hire white people,” Di Salvo says. “I don’t think anything was intentional. But Craig’s passion about this made us more aware. I feel that race is an issue that we need to deal with.”

Song says that if Mann is eventually censured by the board, it would essentially be “a slap on the hand.”

“It’s not like we can unseat him,” Song says.

After the board announced they would be considering sanctions, Mann (who is up for re-election in November) produced a letter of apology for his “less than flattering comments” about Weis, while stating that they were still his “sincere personal assessments.”

Beauchman was apparently unimpressed. “I found the apology lacking,” his rebuke letter concludes.

Shadow and Light Leila C. Knox, an attorney with the First Amendment Coalition, says Mann violated the Brown Act when he sent off his messages to the entire board.

“Personnel matters would seem to be in the subject matter jurisdiction of what the Board of Education does,” Knox says. “They are not talking about their summer vacations or something like that.”

Knox says Mann’s emails fall under the Brown Act’s definition of a “serial meeting.”

“Even if it’s just a one way email, even if nobody emailed back, it’s planting the seeds and getting the discussion going,” Knox says.

Local Brown Act violations are handed by the Santa Clara County district attorney’s office. When reached for comment, spokeswoman Amy Cornell referred Metro to Aryn P. Harris at the County Counsel’s office. Harris said she couldn’t comment on legal matters, and referred questions back to Knox and the First Amendment Coalition as an authority on Brown Act issues.

Knox says that even though Mann’s emails were also sent to a wider pool of community members and media, he still didn’t follow the Act’s guidelines that require public hearings and public notification of meetings.

“The fact that he emailed some newspapers doesn’t qualify as fulfilling all those other obligations,” Knox says.

This isn’t the first time Mann has been embroiled in a headline-making controversy. In the early 2000s he was entangled in a scandal when his former

boss, San Jose City Councilmember Terry Gregory, was caught accepting favors and resigned after being sanctioned.

During Mann’s years on the board of education, he led the sacking of popular former Superintendent Colleen Wilcox over harassment accusations. He was in the news again in 2004, when a civil grand jury found that Mann and other school staff had used district-issued credit cards inappropriately during his three terms on the East Side Union High School District board.

Alvarado Interested?

Mann’s seat is up for grabs this November. With the Aug. 6 filing deadline approaching, he remains unchallenged.

Teresa Alvarado, who recently completed an unsuccessful campaign for the District 1 seat on the Board of Supervisors, sat in the audience during the beginning of the July 21 Board of Education meeting, but left during the closed session. When the issue of Mann’s sanctioning was being discussed by the board, she had a representative, Angie Cardoza, read a statement on her behalf.

In an email last week, Alvarado said she attended the meeting to express her concern about “the disruptive behavior of my elected representative to the COE, Craig Mann.”

“I believe that our elected leaders have a responsibility to work toward achieving results and comporting themselves honorably,” she said. “I urged my elected representative on the COE board to focus on job number one, the quality education of Santa Clara County’s children and young adults.”

When asked via email if her unexpected attendance at the meeting was a sign that she’s considering running for Mann’s as-yetunchallenged board seat, Alvarado said, “Many people have asked me to consider it, but I really have not come to that decision.”

“I am appalled at the behavior of my elected representative, but I have not come to the conclusion that I am ready to launch into another campaign just yet,” Alvarado wrote.

sv 411.com ‘Yes Men’ Dodge Legal Challenge CULTURE JAMMING pranksters The Yes Men have released their latest film on BitTorrent, unable to do so via conventional distribution channels because they are being sued by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The Yes Men pose as corporations, governmental organizations or NGOs they believe are hypocritical or enacting harmful JL9C@D<&I@;@:LCFLJ @e ÉK_\ P\j policies. They deliver DXe =`o k_\ Nfic[#Ê k_\ Zfd`Z XZk`m`jkj `ekif[lZ\ `ejliXeZ\ \o\Zj kf k_\ speeches, send out ?Xc`Ylikfe Jlim`mXYXcc% press releases and set up websites to either take the organization’s policies to what The Yes Men believe are their logical conclusions, or to reverse the organization’s official position.

In theory, the latter is useful as a PR stunt because it forces the organization to step forward and reiterate its potentially unpopular or controversial stance on an issue, thus raising awareness in the public and turning up the heat.

That was the strategy that made The Yes Men defendants in a lawsuit. They pretended to hold a press conference using the name and logo of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, announcing a reversal of the organization’s position of climate change.

The Chamber sued them for unlawfully using its trademark and intellectual property for commercial gain—that is, the sale of DVDs. The Yes Men have made a documentary film that depicts their

pranks, and that Chamber of Commerce conference is among them. None of the networks are willing touch it until the lawsuit is resolved. TorrentFreak reports that The Yes Men released the film for free on BitTorrent instead, then asked viewers for donations.

The film—titled “The Yes Men Fix the World”—landed at No. 6 in TorrentFreak’s list of the Top 10 films downloaded on BitTorrent last week. The torrent is hosted at the film’s VODO page. —SAMUEL AXON,

Porsche’s AllElectric Sports Car

=8JK :FDG8EP K_\ GfijZ_\ 9fojk\i `j Y\`e^ lg[Xk\[ n`k_ YXkk\i`\j%

The electric sports car scene is heating up with Porsche‘s confirmation of a new all-electric sports car based on its Boxster. The company is conducting daily tests of three research cars to study battery systems and electric drive components.

Anrkist What about modded Xbox’s? We’ve been dealing with MS crap for years.

Porsche President and CEO Michael Macht said in a statement that Porsche will “definitely be offering electric sports cars in the future,” but that the performance and cruising range must be comparable to existing sports cars. Greater efficiency and lower emissions are the company’s goals for the new vehicles.

Swifter Leadership Rule #1: Never give an order you know will be instantly disobeyed. The U.S. Copyright Office just boarded the clue train. Now, if we could just get the DEA and Justice Department on board.

The Boxsters will compete with Tesla‘s Roadster, which has been in production since 2008 and recently received a makeover. With Tesla’s help, Toyota is rumored to also be working on an electric sports car.

CanadianSL Wow, that’s unexpected and crazy. What kind of judicial power do they have? Is it now law, or can a court overturn the division?

The original Boxster was produced in 1996 and became the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top selling car for about seven years.

Electric Boxster cars will be ďŹ eld tested early next year to determine what infrastructure is needed to support regular usage and to observe how users drive the car.

But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too excited yetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it will still be a while before the new Boxsters hit the road, and with companies like Mercedes and Audi also working on electric sports cars, they will have plenty of competition. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;MATYLDA CZARNECKA, TECHCRUNCH.COM

mkass The problem with most â&#x20AC;&#x153;all electricâ&#x20AC;? concepts today is they are mostly â&#x20AC;&#x153;all battery.â&#x20AC;? This makes them very range-limited and slow to recharge.

If these proliferate, predict chains of â&#x20AC;&#x153;slow foodâ&#x20AC;? restaurants around charging stations.

Mobsters-Pooh Mashup The Walt Disney Company is now one of the biggest players in the fastgrowing social gaming business. On Tuesday afternoon the company said it had agreed to acquire Playdomâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the outďŹ t behind games like Social City, Sorority Life, and Market Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for up to $763 million.

TIMELINE 1896 First offshore oil wells are drilled

in the Santa Barbara channel, set on piers extending into the ocean from the beachfront.

1920

Oil boom occurs in Huntington Beach, as the then-largest California oil deposit is discovered. Wells spring up overnight, and the town’s population grows from 1,500 to 5,000 in less than a month.

1968 Union Oil Company of California

(the company later became Unocal and is now part of Chevron) establishes a drilling platform off the Santa Barbara coast.

1969

The Union Oil Co. platform suffers a blowout, spewing 200,000 gallons of crude oil. It takes workers 11 days to cap the rupture. Sea birds and animals are hit hard; oil clogs dolphins’ blowholes, causing massive lung hemorrhages, and an estimated 3,686 birds die because of contact with the oil.

1969

California State Lands Commission halts new leases on offshore tracts. Congress passes the National Environmental Policy Act, which requires Environmental Impact Studies for all major developments.

THE SPILL IS GONE 17 Kelso lives and works over in Santa Cruz—and now, in Washington, D.C., and throughout the Gulf of Mexico too, where he is working to help restore damaged ecosystems and the economy. He visited the Gulf within days of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion that killed 11 workers on April 20. Initially,

ÉK_\ ^Xg Y\kn\\e ^X`ej k_Xk _Xm\ Y\\e dX[\ `e \okiXZk`e^ f`c Xe[ k_\ ZXgXZ`kp n\ _Xm\ ]fi i\jgfe[`e^ kf jg`ccj `j _l^\Ê the government estimated between 12,000 and 25,000 barrels a day of oil were escaping. (A barrel of oil holds 42 gallons). Officials later upped that number, saying—prior to capping the well in mid-July—as much as 60,000 barrels of oil could be flowing into the Gulf every day. In other words, an amount equivalent to the Exxon Valdez spill could be flowing into the Gulf every four days.

That’s a meaningful figure to Kelso. In 1989, he was Alaska’s Commissioner of Environmental Conservation. When the tanker ran

TIMELINE

aground in Prince William Sound on March 24, he was one of the first people on board assessing the magnitude of the problem. He saw the iconic images of the catastrophe firsthand, the dead sea otters and the oil-coated birds. He also saw the human tragedy: fistfights breaking out in his office doorway, crusty old fishermen crying in the street.

Drug and alcohol abuse spiked and domestic violence and suicide increased as the fishing communities watched their livelihood coming to an end and Alaskan native communities began to fear for their food supply.

Kelso worked on the cleanup and spill aftermath for two years.

He advocated passage of the federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990. Today, 21 years after Exxon Valdez, oil remains on the Prince William Sound beaches. So when he heard the news about an explosion aboard a drilling rig working on a BP well one mile below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, Kelso felt a sense of urgency.

“Here the oil spill continued with no end in sight,” he says. “How can it be 20 years later and we still have not made very much progress in spill technology—especially when we are choosing much higher risk technologies? The gap between gains that have been made in extracting oil and the capacity we have for responding to spills is huge.”

THE WORST IS STILL TO COME The BP gusher is the largest oil spill in American history, one President Obama has called the worst

1970 Earth Day is born. The Santa

Barbara spill’s notoriety receives credit for launching a major environmental movement nationwide.

1981

Congress votes to stop the sale of leases off the coast of Northern California.

The moratorium is included in the Interior Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1982.

1972 President Richard Nixon creates

the Environmental Protection Agency and signs both the Clean Air and Clean Water acts into law.

“There had been this assumption that it would be safe because proponents of drilling and the company had said it would be,” Kelso says. “Suddenly, the evidence was to the contrary. So it directly influenced the public consciousness that contributed to major national environmental legislation—the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act.” Congress passed the National Environmental Policy Act in 1969. A year later, millions celebrated the first Earth Day and by 1972, President Richard Nixon had created the Environmental Protection Agency and signed both the Clean Air and Clean Water acts into law.

It not only affected the national landscape. Stronger protections for California’s coastline also flowed from the Santa Barbara disaster.

“People in California were worried about prevention and also about what might happen if there was another spill,” Kelso says. As a result the state Legislature banned new offshore drilling leases and passed laws to strengthen the state’s spill-response capacity.

Nearly 30 years later, however, the tides seemed to be turning. In 2008, President George W. Bush lifted an executive order banning offshore oil drilling. Congress allowed the moratorium to lapse a year later. In March—a month before the BP explosion killed 11 workers—President Barack Obama opened up new areas—excluding California—to offshore drilling leases.

Closer to home, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger saw oil rigs as a budget fix, proposing a new oil lease off the Santa Barbara

17

coast. Schwarzenegger said the Tranquillon Ridge project would generate $140 million for the upcoming budget year and would prevent severe cuts to state parks.

Currently, 27 platforms operate off the California coast. In 2009 they produced 13.3 million barrels of oil.

Despite the seeming momentum to drill, “I don’t think there was ever much chance that California was going to be opened up for drilling in federal waters,” Kelso says.

“The discussion of opening offshore areas to drilling was on everyone’s list of things to pay close attention to, but even then, the California congressional delegation was pressing for exclusion of California,” Kelso says. “At the state level, Californians have said, ‘Our economy and out way of life in California depends upon the ocean and the coast. We’re not going to put those at risk even if the risk is small because the stakes are too high.’”

Then came the Gulf of Mexico disaster. Shortly after, Obama suspended plans for future offshore drilling and Schwarzenegger yanked the Tranquillon Ridge project from his proposed state budget.

“My support for the T-Ridge project here in California was based on numerous studies making me feel that it was safe to drill,” Obama said. “All of you have seen when you turn on the television the devastation in the Gulf. And I’m sure that they also were assured that it is safe to drill. I see on TV the birds drenched in oil, the fishermen out of work, the massive oil spill, oil slick destroying our precious ecosystem. It will not happen here in California.”

He then walked the beaches with Gov. Charlie Crist, witnessing white powdery sand laced with black oil.

Most recently, he visited Barataria Bay, about one hour south of New

TIMELINE

Orleans, meeting with government officials, scientists, fishermen and others affected by the spill. He returned to Santa Cruz July 21, a day that a storm headed for the Gulf stopped most of the work at the site.

Kelso describes going out in a boat on Bay Jimmy, near Grand Isle, La., with Philippe Cousteau, Jacques’s grandson and an Ocean Conservancy boardmember. They walked the marshy shoreline and saw heavily oiled, sticky brown grasses, oiled oyster shells and hermit crabs and a seabird hunting for food in the toxic grass. A barrier boom—intended to trap the oil before it reaches shore—had washed up on shore.

“It illustrated both how difficult it is and also how, if you’re using a technology like booms, you’ve got to maintain them actively,” Kelso says.

“You’ve got to hold them in place and change them out when they oily, and in a situation like this, where you have a higher-than-usual tide, you have to take that into account, all of which is quite labor intensive.

“The level of oiling said to me—at least in the areas we visited—the real effort is going to be in the restoration stage. BP simply has to make the commitment to be in the Gulf and restore the Gulf for years and years and years. This is not going to be a few weeks of cleanup. They have an obligation to the children of the Gulf to be there for years and years and years.”

The BP spill, he says, brought back a flood of haunting memories of the Exxon Valdez disaster, and a dismaying sense of déjà vu.

“After Exxon Valdez, I had worked on a variety of things, including successfully prevailing in lawsuits against the Department of the

Interior—where the Minerals Management Service lives—because of the rubber-stamp decisions that the Minerals Management Service had been making,” Kelso says.

The Minerals Management Service, the federal agency charged with regulating offshore drilling, repeatedly refused to act on advice from its experts on ways to minimize the risk of oilrig blowout preventers, according to a New York Times investigation. It also concluded that deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf posed no significant risk to wildlife.

“So when the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster happened, it was a bitter confirmation that the Minerals Management Service was not taking these risks seriously—and

TIMELINE

the consequences were huge,” Kelso says. “In the explosion, 11 people died from [that agency] being casual about safety standards.”

Plus, in order to ship oil from the Valdez Marine Terminal, Alaskan law required Exxon to formulate an oil spill “contingency plan.”

Kelso approved the plan and says it provided a thorough response for specific scenarios and included detailed maps and knowledge from fishermen and other local experts.

During the actual spill, however, Exxon didn’t follow the plan.

But at least there was one.

“Compare this to the BP Deepwater case,” Kelso says. “There was no spill response plan.”

21

1989 The Exxon Valdez oil spill again

increases environmental concerns. The Interior Appropriations Act for the following year includes moratoria on leases off California, Florida, Massachusetts, Bristol Bay of Alaska, and the Atlantic Ocean from Rhode Island to Maryland. President George H.W. Bush signs the bill into law.

23 The BP oil spill, the Ocean Conservancy deployed teams of scientists and other experts to the Gulf (it has regional offices in Austin and St. Petersburg) and to Washington, D.C., “focusing on the three R’s: relief, restoration and reform,” lobbying for immediate assistance and long-term fixes. It’s an environmental disaster—the Gulf is home to half of the wetlands in the continental United States; 40 percent are in Louisiana alone.

“They’re remarkably productive,” Kelso says. “For example, 97 percent by weight of the commercially valuable fish and shell fish species come from the Louisiana wetlands for that state. So you have to take that pretty seriously.”

The problem continues as oil and marine species move down the water columns.

“Some organisms, even when they begin in the marshes, move offshore; at different stages they’re at different levels in the water columns.

Some have a survival strategy that allows them to go to deep water during the daytime when there’s light and they’re more vulnerable to predators, and then they come up at night when it’s dark to feed.

So depending on where the oil is, if there’s an oil cloud, they may be traveling through it.”

As Kelso witnessed in Alaska and now in the Gulf states, the oil spill is a human tragedy, too. Eleven men lost their lives and countless others—fishermen, restaurateurs, charter captains and dive-shop owners, among them—see their source of income thrown into uncertainty. As Kelso talks about the spill, now thousands of miles

away from the disaster, his sense of urgency is palpable.

“It is really hard for the affected people to look beyond the immediate crisis,” he says. “They want the oil out of the water.

Nothing short of that is going to feel good. But what has to happen now—right now—is the Natural Resources Damage Assessment has to be on its way, and BP should be paying for the NRDA up front.”

The NRDA measures the damage, sampling oiled areas of the Gulf and areas that are not yet oiled to assess the environmental impact of the spill. (Read the Ocean Conservancy’s June 3 letter to the Department of the Interior and the Department of Commerce about the NRDA at www.santacruzweekly.com). It also takes into account the loss of tourism, fishing and other industry that depends on the ecosystem to determine BP’s liability.

“The damage assessment is the driver,” Kelso says. “If you don’t have that, you don’t have much. The restoration flows from that, and restoration is multiyear. But if you don’t know what’s broken, you can’t fix it.”

And then there’s the matter of reforming the laws that led to the oil rig explosion in the first place. To that end, Kelso and other Ocean Conservancy staff recently testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Natural Resources.

“If we do not take advantage of the learning from this,” he says, “then shame on us as a society. People have died. People’s livelihoods are in grave danger. We need to understand what policies and legislation must change so this doesn’t happen again.”

1990 The American Trader spill off

Orange County increases the pressure on California’s Legislature to step up the state’s response to oil spills. As a result, the Lempert-Keene-Seastrand Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act of 1990 establishes the Office of Spill Prevention and Response.

President Bill Clinton extends the moratorium through 2012.

Little Lou’s owner, LANCE WAGNER, had been selling his regular and spicy barbecue sauce out of the restaurant for years. Encouraged by friends and customers, he decided to try to put his stuff on the shelves of local stores. He had a label designed featuring a happy chef manning a flaming grill and went through all the legal and bureaucratic hoops to get his product to market.

Now the sauce is for sale at Lunardi’s, Cosentino’s, the Summit Store in Los Gatos, several local Ace C`kkc\ CflÊj Hardware stores and various locations in Santa 9XiY\Zl\ Cruz County. Costco is going to carry the sauce next month and Safeway is interested as well. Not (,+-- Cfj bad after just four months. >Xkfj 9cm[%# “I don’t want to say it’s been easy, but it’s gone Cfj >Xkfj really well,” says Wagner. “It’s pretty cool to go into a store and see your stuff on the shelf.”

The sauce sells for $4.99 at most stores. I’m a fan of the spicy sauce. It’s got a good balance of sweetness and vinegar with a healthy dose of cayenne and chile-flake heat. It’s spicy for sure, but the heat doesn’t crowd out the other flavors. Wagner created the recipe for the sauce, but now it’s made and bottled in a commercial facility in Healdsburg. The kitchen has been making Little Lou’s sauce for years and can handle as much volume as Wagner can send its way.

The sauce has also become the official barbecue sauce for the SAN JOSE GIANTS. Wagner met some representatives of the minor league ball club at an auction and asked them if they’d be willing to give his sauce a try. They had been serving Cattlemen’s sauce but said it had to be “doctored up” to their liking. The Giants reps liked the sauce, and now it’s served on all the barbecued and grilled meat at TURKEY MIKE’s, the barbecue restaurant located along the third-base line at San Jose’s Municipal Stadium.

Business continues to cook for Little Lou’s. Wagner says he’s planning to open another location in Campbell by the end of the year.—Stett Holbrook

Ship’s Porter THE 1930s may have been an economic low point for America, but they had their glitzy side as well, a side that Foothill Music Theatre has recaptured with its lavish production of Cole Porter’s 1934 musical Anything Goes. Complete with a 45-member cast and a live band, and in the capable hands of award-winning director Jay Manley, the show displays that era’s more glamorous aspects: dazzling celebrities (who could be famous gangsters just as easily as Hollywood stars), luxury travel and of course, great Broadway music.

The plot concerns Billy Crocker (Justin Buchs), 8epk_`e^ a beleaguered stockbroker who stows away on >f\j a transatlantic cruise ship. Also on board are evangelist/nightclub singer Reno Sweeney (Karen Through Aug. 15 DeHart, in the role originally filled by Ethel Smithwick Theatre, Merman) and her four tap-dancing “Fallen Angels.”

Foothill College, There is also Moonface Martin, a.k.a. “Public Enemy Los Altos Hills No. 13,” a gangster disguised as a priest (played to $10-$26 a buffoonish T by the towering Walter M. Mayes), www.foothill and Erma, a sassy, flirtatious moll (Mary Melnick, in musicals.com another spirited performance). Billy teams up with these characters, engaging in a number of screwball antics to avoid being thrown in the brig, and to win over his sweetheart, Hope Harcourt (Marisa Illo), before she marries the stodgy Lord Oakleigh (Tim Reynolds).

These events are quite amusing, even if they do form little more than a clothesline for the songs—numbers like “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top” and the title song are the reason Anything Goes is regarded as one of Porter’s greatest musicals. Thanks to talented singers like DeHart and, in no small part, to Dottie Lester-White’s competent choreography, the show delivers rousing, hummable renditions of these tunes.

Anything Goes may seem a bit dated, with its references to ’30s pop culture and what some might consider racist characterizations of the Chinese. However, though it adheres more closely to later revivals than to the 1934 version, it is precisely this ’30s-ness that the production embraces most, and with the help of well-constructed Art Deco sets, the play becomes a window into a bygone age. It is, furthermore, a genuine crowd-pleasing comedy that you won’t be able to sit through with a straight face.—Sean Conwell

Upscale Thrift ON HER annual kayaking trip to Mexico a few years ago, Joy Engstrom was traveling down a road with a truckload of donated goods she had received from fellow Rotarians. She stopped to talk to a man on foot.

In her broken Spanish, Joy asked if he had any kids, and his response was yes, a 4-year-old. Knowing she had something for the child, she ran to her truck and pulled out a pink bike with streamers on the handlebars. As the man crossed the street with the bike, a young boy came running toward him with the biggest smile and looked at the bike with curiosity and awe. Thinking to herself that a boy in the United States would never accept a pink bike, Joy was amazed at how little gestures can go so far.

Giving away the bike and other charitable deeds are what led to Elefante Blanco, an organization that Engstrom opened in March “to help those in need both locally and internationally and to provide funding to help support the humanitarian projects,” according to the shop’s mission statement, which she often restates. <c\]Xek\ Elefante Blanco (White Elephant) is a thrift boutique at 1343 The Alameda, San Jose. Engstrom calls it a 9cXeZf “thrift boutique” instead of a “thrift store,” because she hopes to create a higher-end assortment of clothes and 1343 The Alameda, gifts—at thrift-shop prices.

San Jose With the help of store manager Tiffany Hanmore and Open Daily about a dozen volunteers, Engstrom keeps the store running, sorting through the donations that come in each day and getting them on the racks. After dropping off donations, many people stay to shop. All proceeds go straight to benefit the projects Elefante Blanco sponsors. Engstrom is a Rotarian, and she and her friends are working to help a school in Zimbabwe, Africa, as well as provide clothing and educational materials to children in Mexico.

When people ask her where the name for the store came from, Engstrom explains, “Most people I know have ‘white elephants’ all around their homes. Things they don’t use or need [but] things that would be so valuable to someone else.” Random acts of kindness are what keep Joy going. “I do it because it is needed,” she says. “Seeing someone somewhere that needs something” is all the motivation Engstrom needs to help those who less fortunate, and she hopes that others will be inspired to do the same. It only takes one little boy’s smile to know you have done something worthwhile.”—Jen Nowell

COUNTDOWN TO ZERO

(Unrated; 113 min.) Intelligent, atmospheric Cold War thriller in the best tradition of le CarrĂŠ, directed

by Christian Carion, based on a real-life case. In 1981, in Moscow, Pierre (Guillaume Canet), a French technocrat, is mistakenly approached by the gregarious Grigoriev (eminent Serbian director Emir Kusturica). This Soviet ofďŹ cer, sick of his government, aims to help push it over from the inside by passing on information to the West. The Russian is surprised to ďŹ nd out that Pierre has almost no connections with the secret service. Pierreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government asks the amateur spy to carry on, and a friendship develops. Grigoriev takes his reward in champagne and French books, and in confessional time: a spy who lies to everyone has to have someone to conďŹ de in. The art direction is immaculate; Carion aims to take you on a trip to the vanished USSR, dwelling over the frightening Martian/Gothic towers and neon-green corridors; through rural scenes, the director proves why you could love that country while fearing its government. The detours to the halls of Western power are a little more problematic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a treat to see Fred Ward again; his imitative powers are so strong that his Ronald Reagan both looks right to the last twitch and is easily recognizable from across the room. However, the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretation of that lucky but foolish man is fairly limited.

Philippe Magnanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dour Mitterrand is far more knowing. A dash of Willem Dafoe, as a CIA intelligencer, ices the ďŹ lm nicely; anyone who loves actors will relish the way Dafoe pronounces the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;serious problems.â&#x20AC;?

REVIEW

metroactive FILM SALT (PG-13; 100 min.) A fast-paced, actionpacked thrill ride with a tinge of Cold Warâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;era military tension. Angelina Jolie, who plays CIA ofďŹ cer Evelyn Salt, continues to be the sole actress capable of playing the lead role in an action ďŹ lm. The story begins with the torture of Salt in a North Korean military prison. Eventually, she is released in

42

a prisoner exchange. Two years later, Salt and her superior, Ted Winter (Liev Schreiber), are on their way out of the building when a Russian defector, Orlov, accuses Salt of being a Russian spy during an interrogation. This is the point where the action starts and never stops again. Unfortunately, the plot in this ďŹ lm doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave much room for the audience to decide whether Orlovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Jewish Fest

.

/ %( "+#-,*)

HAD A genial argument with a gorgeous old friendâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whom I always described as the Brandeis cheerleader typeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;about what she asserted was the lack of hunkiness among Jewish men. I countered with a listâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Samson, Kirk Douglas, Saul Bellowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but soon switched to the roster of baseball greats: Sandy Koufax, Hank Greenberg. Titans of the intellectual world, Jews also J%=% A\n`j_ =`cd proved their mettle on the diamond. =\jk`mXc This weekend, the 30-year-old San Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Tuesday Francisco Jewish Film Festival brings a selection of 18 programs to the CinĂŠArts Palo Alto CinĂŠArts in Palo Alto. Among them Square is Jews and Baseball: An American www.sfjff.org Love Story (July 31, 2pm). Narrated by Dustin HoďŹ&#x20AC;man, this documentary follows the barriers broken by Jewish players in the pastime. Key among them is Koufax himself, who rarely gives interviews.

One of the standouts of the fest is Yael Hersonskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Film UnďŹ nished (July 31, 4pm). It concerns the discovery, in an East German archive, of grisly rehearsals and outtakes for a Nazi propaganda ďŹ lm on the Warsaw Ghetto; depressingly, these staged scenes of Jewish life were taken as unvarnished history by dozens of documentary historical ďŹ lmmakers. Long Distance (Aug. 3, 4pm) proďŹ les Israeli guest workers from the Philippines, Ghana, and Turkey. A Small Act (July 31, noon) is a story out of Dickens; Kenyan farm boy Chris Mburu was the beneďŹ ciary of a Jewish schoolteacher from Sweden. Mburu went on to Harvard and a career as a human-rights lawyer. JaďŹ&#x20AC;a (Aug. 3, 8pm), concerning a Jewish/Palestinian romance, features Ronit Elkabitz as a mechanicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife who learns her daughter is dating an Arab.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Richard von Busack

accusation is true or false. The twists and turns are mostly predictable up until one little crook in the story that comes as a surprise. Otherwise, the movie is completely reliant on Jolie for its appeal, and she delivers. The action sequences are ďŹ lled with old-school foot chases and ďŹ ghts blended with plenty of new-school, improbableâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or likely impossibleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;stunts and special effects.

If you love action ďŹ&#x201A;icks with a near minimal amount of thought required to decipher the impending acts, this is a great show. (Marlon Maloney)

Revivals BREATHLESS (1960) See story on page 41. (Opens Jul 30 at CinĂŠArts Santana Row.)

DIRTY DANCING (1987) In 1963, a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter (Jennifer Grey) goes to the Catskills and discovers herself falling in love with the dance instructor (the late and honestly lamented Patrick Swayze); the perfect pick for girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night out, and the men folk can stay home with Road House. (Plays Jul 28, 30-31 and Aug 1 in San Jose at the Retrodome.) (RvB)

A HARD DAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NIGHT (1964) Ironical pop stars George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and John Lennon are chased around England by their demented female fans. Director Richard Lester created the modern style of the music video in stunt-ďŹ lm techniques designed for TV commercialsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;speed-up and slowmotion, ultra-close-ups juxtaposed with helicopter shots. Youth wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t endure, but chronic Beatlemania never dies.

(Plays Jul 30 in San Jose at the California Theatre; showtime is 7pm; courtyard opens an hour and a half earlier at 5:30pm for sale of snacks and adult beverages.) (RvB)

LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA/COME SEPTEMBER (1962/1961) Something to augment the experience of having Mad Men backâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the kind of early-1960s movies Don and

45 Peter Travers

MEET THE FOCKERS (2004) Jay Roachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family comedy: a comedy, that is, in which babies, adults and senior citizens alike come off as insensitive dolts, so that every part of the audience can laugh at the other. It has some zeitgeist: the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subject is red vs. blue states of mind. The focus is an anal-retentive father-in-law, Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro), who has to share bathroom facilities with his in-laws. These are the Fockers: a touchyfeely Florida lawyer (Dustin Hoffman) and his spouse, a genuinely frightening Barbra Streisand as a sex therapist for geriatrics. (Plays Jun 29 in Redwood City at sundown in Old Courthouse Square; free.) (RvB)

NILES FILM MUSEUM Jul 31: A Tale of Two Cities (1917) with William Farnum in the usual dual role, directed by Frank Lloyd (If I Were King).

Also: The Professional Patient with Sidney and Lucille Drew, popular prewar comedians who were pioneers of the situation comedy (moreover, Sidney Drew appears to be Drew Barrymoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great-great uncle). Also: Dollars and Sense (1916) with Ora Carew. Judy Rosenberg at the piano. (Plays Jul 31 at 7:30pm in Fremont at the Edison Theatre, 37417 Niles Blvd.) (RvB)

O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? (2000) George Clooney is Everett Ulysses McGill, a con artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s con artist.

Everettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two fellow escapees from a 1930s chain gang, Pete Hogwallop (John Turturro) and Delmer Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell (Tim Blake Nelson), follow his supposedly wise lead. Among the gods inďŹ&#x201A;uencing our trio is Pappy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Daniel (Charles Durning, buttery and corrupt), a governor facing an election. A one-eyed brute, the Polyphemus character (John Goodman), turns out to be an actual Cyclopsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an ofďŹ cial in the Klan. This Odyssey misses its Telemachus, its Nausicaaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and for maximum sourness, the Penelope character (Holly Hunter) turns out to be a faithless shrew. Rocky and episodic as it is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a breakthrough: maybe the ďŹ rst ďŹ lm to have its color digitally augmented. Its soundtrack (which is ultimately what carries the ďŹ lm over) is a classic, persuading a rediscovery of old

weird American music. (Plays Aug 2 at 7pm in Palo Alto at Stanford Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annenberg Auditorium; free.) (RvB)

One gets the unfortunate sense that Weisz is doing what Julie Andrews would do with the role. (RvB)

ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

CYRUS

(1975) Call it what you like: ďŹ&#x201A;otsam from the wreckage of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, a piece of the Old World before AIDS, herpes and Reagan, or the ultimate cult musical. The fact remains that someone out there apparently hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen this one yet, so hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping it makes a new generation of pre-teens a little more comfortable with their sexuality. Pre-show: eminent RHPS troopers the Bawdy Caste entertains and leads audience participation. (Plays Jul 28 in San Jose at the intersection of South First and William streets; part of Starlight Cinemas series.) (RvB)

(R; 92 min.) The new ďŹ lm by Jay and Mark Duplass (Baghead) brings them upscale without too much compromise in presenting a general atmosphere of failure and recrimination. Cyrusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; protagonist is the galoot John (John C. Reilly), a free-lance editor who is still attached to his ex-wife, Jamie (Catherine Keener). John makes a serious ass out of himself at a party, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emotionally rescued. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;sex angelâ&#x20AC;? named Molly (Marisa Tomei) takes him home. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the hitch? Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22-year-old live-athome son, Cyrus (Jonah Hill), is a hulking adult big baby with a jaw like a bullfrog; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never really been weaned. He reacts to Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival ďŹ rst with passive aggressiveness and then with sabotage.

(RvB)

SILK STOCKINGS/THE BELLE OF NEW YORK (1957/1952) The musical remake of Ninotchka featuring Cyd Charisse as the commissar on a business trip who gets seduced by capitalism in the form of a Hollywood movie director (Fred Astaire, in his last MGM musical). The songsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with the exception of â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of Youâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Cole Porterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-drawer material. Peter Lorre sings (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Siberiaâ&#x20AC;?)!

BILLED WITH The Belle of New York, an obscure musical with a plot something like Guys and Dolls; in 1897 New York, Astaire is a rascal lured by a Salvation Army ofďŹ cer (Vera-Allen). (Plays Jul 2830 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.)

â&#x20AC;&#x153;SALT WILL KEEP YOU GUESSING RIGHT TO THE END.â&#x20AC;?

INCEPTION (PG-13; 148 min.) The basic idea of Christopher Nolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ lm is simple. Led

by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), a sort of Impossible Mission Force, working for a Japanese trillionaire (Ken Watanabe), descends into the sleeping subconscious of the plutocratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young rival (Cillian Murphy), using technology that allows them to design dreamscapes.

Throughout the ďŹ lm, Nolan insists on the practical effect: the miniature and the set, as opposed to CGI. The ďŹ lm is audacious and frequently thrilling,

46

Reviews AGORA (Unrated; 126 min.) A beautifully dressed disappointment, highlighting a lovely and severely miscast Rachel Weisz as a pagan logician holding out against insurgent faith. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the early 400s during the Christian end of the Roman empire.

Hypatia (Weisz) is a woman with the rare privilege of being allowed to teach philosophy; her two prize students, both very fond of her, are the slave Davus (Max Minghella) and the well-born Orestes (Oscar Isaac). As little is known of Hypatiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actual teachings, the ďŹ lm posits that her concerns were the matter of the shape of the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orbit round the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a matter referred to visually repeatedly by a Google Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;like computer-animated sun rising about the Nile delta and return to outer space.

Who can blame the camera for wanting to leave this island, Earth? The ďŹ lm is an ant-hill-like squabble of different faiths, centered around the increasing viciousness of the local Christian bishop.

Weisz looks very fetching in togas, but the force of Hypatiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet, nomonkey-business character is stressed rather than her gravity of an intellectual.

metroactive FILM especially when Nolan folds Paris in on itself and Escherizes interior spaces. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visionary ďŹ lmmaking, uncommon at this scale, with neither the mawkishness of What Dreams May Come or the spiritual horse feathers of the Matrix trilogy. (RvB)

THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT (R; 104 min.) Crisis occurs when a very settled lesbian marriage is challenged by the arrival of the sperm donor (Mark Ruffalo) who fathered one of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children. Julianne Moore as a classic California girl: no intellectual, very earthy, a blurter-out of things she probably shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have said; Annette Bening, amusingly dour, is

45

her hard-working spouse. Director Lisa Cholodenko and co-writer Stuart Blumberg takes their ďŹ lm away from the realm of the typical gay and lesbian ďŹ lm fest talkathon and up to speed with the blogs, Alison Bechdelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cartoons Dykes to Watch Out For and with the ďŹ ction of Mary Gaitskill. As a director, Cholodenko is a dry, toughminded wit. But the way she analyzes the needy, unpretty cores of these characters is what takes The Kids Are Alright out of the realm of the domestic comedy/drama and makes it a ďŹ lm to remember. (RvB)

WINTERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BONE (R; 100 min.) Like a Little Red Riding

Hood story in which thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing but wolves. Debra Granikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spare, gripping ďŹ lm concerns 17-year-old Ree Dolly (a tough Jennifer Lawrence). Before her father skipped bail on a meth-making charge, he signed over his house to the bail bondsmen. Ree had planned to join the Army and use the signing bonus to help the rest of her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;two young children and a mother incapacitated with depression. Instead, the girl has to hunt up a father who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be found. Granik ďŹ lms in the halffrozen hills near SpringďŹ eld, Mo.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a forbidding landscape of bare trees. But one doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a sense of watching a city director exploiting the squalor.

leads the second violin section. “She can take a piece from unfamiliarity to familiarity for the orchestra within 45 minutes or an hour of rehearsal. And then in performance she really steps it up a notch and makes sure you’re paying attention.”

For this year’s Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music (Aug. 1–15), Albert—along with fellow orchestra members Michael Maccaferri (clarinet), flautist Tim Munro and cellist Nicholas Photinos—will get to interact with Alsop and the orchestra in an entirely new way: as members, with pianist Lisa Kaplan and percussionist Michael Duvall, of the Grammy-winning chamber ensemble eighth blackbird.

It’s the consciously lower-cased group’s first appearance at the Cabrillo festival since its founding in 1996, and not only is eighth blackbird enjoying a starring role in the Aug. 6 West Coast premiere of On a Wire by composer Jennifer Higdon, the group will also be sharing a stage (on Aug. 8), for the first time, with another famously innovative ensemble, the Kronos Quartet.

“We’re really thrilled to be playing half of a recital where the other half is Kronos,” Albert says. “When we were forming, they were one of the examples of music groups that made it on their own and blazed a trail.”

Eighth blackbird, which takes its name from the Wallace Stevens poem “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird,” is known for its physically dynamic performances, with players standing up, moving around and reconfiguring as they play.

One piece in the Aug. 8 recital, Thomas Ades’ Catch (which refers to the British version of the kids’ game Keep Away), makes the most of this physical penchant, with the

Luke Ratray

48

clarinetist moving onstage and offstage while playing.

On a Wire, too, capitalizes on eighth blackbird’s physical flair. The piece opens with the six of them walking over to an open piano and bowing the strings; before long, they’re taking mallets and picks to the project as the full orchestra chimes in.

Even more exciting for the members are the six distinct solos written for them by the Pulitzer Prize–winning Higdon, a friend of the group.

“The solos are very different in character, and I think that might be informed by what she knows about each of us as individuals,” says Albert.

“I feel very fortunate to be able to do something like that.”

The festival, which takes place at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium and Mission San Juan Bautista, gets under way Aug. 1–3 with open rehearsals. The introductory free concert on Aug. 5 at 5:15pm, “In the Works,” features selections by young composers Robert Honstein, Andrew McPherson and Roger Zare.

The festival opens in earnest on Aug. 6 with the premiere of On a Wire. Other highlights of the season include the Food & Wine Festival, Aug. 7–8, all day; the evening program on Aug. 7 with the West Coast premieres of Anna Clyne’s electro-acoustic work <<rewind>> and two offerings by Mark-Anthony Turnage: Chicago Remains and Drowned Out; the world premiere, on Aug. 14, of Sean Hickey’s Dalliance and the regional debut of Michael Shapiro’s Roller Coaster. The festival concludes on Aug. 15 in San Juan Bautista with two concerts (4:30 and 8pm) featuring the U.S. premiere of Elena Kats-Chenin’s Heaven Is Closed and the West Coast premiere of George Walker’s Foils for Orchestra (Hommage à Saint George) plus a cello concerto by Philip Glass.

Pete Escovedo Orchestra I WARRANT that seeing Escovedo free in the park is one of the essential San Jose experiences, like watching the Little Giants cream the Ports, like fighting a heatwave day with margaritas at Aqui, like watching the weird puppets gesticulating at you at Xmas time. This Pittsburg, Calif.–born legend, who rose to fame playing with Santana before going on to his own solo career, turned 75 July 13, and he’s doing a handful of appearances to celebrate.

Kenny Loggins WAIT, so Kenny Loggins is a hippie? Apparently, everyone who’s ever heard “Danny’s Song” knows this, but c’mon, I grew up on “Danger Zone.” You know Maverick’s not having any of that peace and love shit. He’s having another bowl of whup-ass!

And what about “Footloose?” Are you telling me that whole “cut loose” business was, like, a “smash the state” kind of thing? I’m not buying it. Let’s just agree that at Mountain Winery he’ll be playing notsaving-the-earth hits like “Your Mama Don’t Dance.”

John Legend NEOSOUL singer and pianist John Legend combined the raw fervor of contemporaries Cody Chesnutt and the burning precision of D’Angelo. Born John Stephens, Legend was a child prodigy who grew up in Ohio, where he began singing gospel and playing piano at the tender age of 5. Legend was tapped to play piano on Lauryn Hill’s “Everything Is Everything” in 1998. After completing college, he moved to New York, where he began to build a loyal following playing in nightclubs and releasing CDs Sunday, 7:30pm that he would sell at shows. He also became an indemand session musician, playing and occasionally writing for a wide array of artists, including Alicia Mountain Winery, Saratoga Keys, Twista, Janet Jackson and Kanye West. It wasn’t until West signed the young talent to his new label $55–$150 that he adopted his stage name with 2004’s Solo Sessions Vol. 1: Live at the Knitting Factory. Get Lifted, his first studio album, was released later in the year. On the strength of enduring single “Ordinary People,” the album reached the Top Five of the Billboard 200. This led to three Grammy Awards: Best R&B Album, Best R&B Male Vocal Performance, and Best New Artist, and he’s been on a roll ever since. —Beau Dowling

Instead of spending your evenings giving your wife something to smile about the next morning at work, you’re giving this seven-year-old fling of hers more late-night reruns than Godfather II. Sure, she still sees the guy, but consider the environment. Yes, it’s what I always advise a man who wants to stage a seduction: Put on a big pastel smock, sit between two little old ladies getting smelly perms, and give the woman a bird’s eye view of his bald spot. Before you know it, he’ll be telling her how he likes it, and she’ll be begging, “Lemme take off my top!”—in that secret language all the hussy hairdressers use: “Want me to take a little more off the top?”

You’re right that marriage comes with boundaries—and it’s time you started respecting your wife’s. You’re her husband, not her owner, so you don’t get to give her a list of acceptable topics of conversation: 1. “Nice weather we’re having.” 2. “Still nice weather we’re having.” Since you’re also not her boss, she doesn’t have to ask you if she’s allowed to do her job: “My 2:30

appointment fooled around with me once seven years ago, but he really needs a trim.”

What stinks isn’t love, but being a guy who’s never bothered to put his mommy issues and ex-wife trust issues on a leash and walk them to a therapist’s office. Instead, you take them out on a woman you describe as “always . . . truthful and forthright.” Nice! And easier on the ego than admitting you’re insecure, seeking reassurance, and fixing what’s broken. As for those dirty movies of her you’ve been playing in your head, all the better to feel sorry for yourself.

You break a habit the way you picked it up, through repetition, so next time your mental projector starts whirring, swap in footage of Bob Vila replacing a toilet flush valve. Mmmm, sexy!

A woman is most likely to be faithful to, well, to a man who’s so insecure that he keeps her in a hole in his basement and lowers her food in a bucket.

Unfortunately, this is not exactly a prescription for marital joy. To have a woman make you her one and only by choice, do your best to make her happy and strive to live in the moment— instead of that moment in 1990 when she failed to pop up from her prom date’s back seat and say, “I can’t. Twenty years from now, I might have a really jealous husband.”

N_Xk [f\j X dXe d\Xe n_\e# X]k\i j\o# _\ jXpj# ÇPfl Zfdgc\k\ d\È6 @Êd X nfdXe aljk [Xk`e^ X^X`e X]k\i Y\`e^ dXii`\[ ]fi hl`k\ jfd\ k`d\# Xe[ nXek kf dXb\ jli\ @Êd efk aldg`e^ kf ZfeZclj`fej% ÆNfe[\i`e^ There are things a man can do to make himself more articulate, and having sex isn’t one of them. Chances are, the guy felt a rush of emotion, reached into the cupboard in his head, and found it bare— save for a seriously tired line from Jerry Maguire. Either that, or he was trying to tell you “Having sex with you reminds

me of this 1996 Tom Cruise movie.” As for whether it’s more than just talk, time will tell. For now, perhaps you can find what he said endearing, as many women would. Personally, I find borrowed expressions of appreciation kind of a mood-killer. Then again, at least he didn’t roll over and yell, “Show me the money!”

Liam, think. When the Singaporean authorities want to modify someone’s behavior, they don’t screw around with binaural beats—they’ve got canes.

Binaural beats (BBs) are a scientific curiosity first described in 1839 by Prussian scientist H.W. Dove. They occur when two slightly different tones are played simultaneously, one in each ear, causing the brain to perceive a beat whose frequency is the difference between those of the two tones. For example, playing a 370-hertz tone in the left ear and a 380-hertz tone in the right yields a beat with a frequency of 10 hertz. You’d notice something similar if you simply set two tone generators side by side, but it’d be a monaural beat—you could hear it with just one ear. What’s different about binaural beats is that the mixing of the two tones happens in your head.

The BB phenomenon was brought to modern attention by Gerald Oster in a 1973 article in Scientific American.

Oster determined that the tones needed to produce the beats were relatively low-frequency and the beats themselves were in the range of 1–30 hertz. Human brainwave frequencies, as it happens, fall within the same general range.

Now we get to the woolly part. Some researchers have theorized that binaural beats can help change the frequency of your brain waves. Different brainwave frequencies are associated with different mental states. Frequencies from 30 to 14 hertz are the beta brainwave pattern, typically seen when we’re awake and active. Patterns from 13 to 8 hertz are called alpha patterns, and occur when we’re relaxed. From 8 to 4 hertz we enter the theta stage, observed during REM sleep and meditation, and below that we fall into the deep, dreamless sleep of the delta pattern. Use BBs to slow down somebody’s brain waves, the thinking goes, and maybe you can get them to relax.

Japanese researchers found that when they played slow binaural beats to subjects hooked up to lab instruments, the subjects’ brainwave activity synced up with the perceived pulse. However, the real question is whether you can

package these interesting test results into an effective mood-relaxation product that can be sold online for $19.95. One common claim is that BB recordings can help reduce anxiety.

Some research suggests they can: • One study of 104 patients undergoing general anesthesia for surgery showed that when they listened to music CDs containing embedded binaural beats, their anxiety decreased by a quarter compared to a control group.

• A study of 14 pre-operative patients in Montreal listening to commercially available delta- and theta-range BB tapes found they were noticeably less anxious.

• A study of 76 patients undergoing surgery under light anesthesia found those listening to BB tapes required much less sedation than those listening to classical or no music.

• A Duke University study comparing the effects of delta, theta and beta BBs reported that subjects listening to beta beats performed better on an alertness test, and their mood was better overall.

Maybe it was. However, you can find lots of evidence pointing the other way: • A study of anesthesia requirements for 60 patients listening to either a BB cassette or a blank tape showed no differences between the two groups.

• A test of the impact of theta and beta BBs on the pulse and blood pressure of 12 volunteers showed no significant differences.

You can guess what I think of all this, which is one reason I’m never going to make money as an entrepreneur.

Others have fewer doubts—they claim their BB CDs and MP3s will help you relax, alleviate attention-deficit disorder, simulate drug experiences and “help your brain induce a state of warmth, exhilaration, tantrism, and climax.” If you’re skeptical or just cheap, you can try a free online BB tone generator such as Gnaural or SBaGen. Personally, I’m sticking with proven sonic relaxants— Pink Floyd, let’s say—plus some Baileys just in case.
