Do You Identify with Downtown? Fixing the core is the key to many issues

he people have spoken. At least 14,000 of them, anyway. And 62.6 percent of those are not satisfied with downtown Jacksonville. This is according to the Jacksonville Community Council Inc.’s JAX2025 survey that asked people to rate many issues facing the city. In similar surveys nationwide, the top issues are usually education, public safety and the environment. In this local survey, 28.1 percent of the adult responses said they were not at all satisfied with the vibrancy of downtown (plus another 34.5 who aren’t very satisfied). It’s a big drop down to the next items with the most “not at all satisfied” responses such as the ability to influence local government (17 percent), the ease of transportation and moving around (16.7 percent) and the quality of public education (15.7 percent). It surprised JCCI CEO Ben Warner: “It’s a huge, major, community-wide issue.” As proof, Warner pointed out that although the respondents skewed a little higher on education and income than Jacksonville’s averages, people of all education levels noted downtown was a big issue, including 12 percent of those with a high school diploma. The first results of the survey were presented Jan. 19 at the Prime Osborn Convention Center, where about 1,000 people gathered at tables of 10 to discuss and prioritize the issues raised. Each table held discussions that were shared with the entire group. Results of that meeting will be posted on jax2025.org this week. Downtown came up again and again.It could be that downtown has been in the news a lot lately — and over many years with numerous plans for its revitalization. Mayor Alvin Brown pushed through the creation of the Downtown Investment Authority to help shepherd ideas into reality. Now, they have to pick an executive director and get moving. City Councilmember Don Redman has led an effort to remove tables and benches from Hemming Plaza to shoo away “undesirables.” The historic Bostwick building can’t seem to find a compromise that will save and restore it. A few high-profile crimes have taken place at The Jacksonville Landing in a ZIP code that is otherwise one of the city’s safest. A lot of residents attend the First Wednesday Art Walk downtown, but they don’t return to the area until the following month’s festival, citing the fear and discomfort created by panhandlers and the homeless. But there are also new bars, restaurants, businesses and events popping up, in addition to the long-standing favorites. Many people in Jacksonville and surrounding communities don’t see their connection to downtown. No doubt they are among the 19.1 percent who were neutral on the topic in the survey. But if you look at almost any successful big city, the suburbs proudly identify themselves as part of that core and are drawn to it through arts, sports, shopping and community events. This is what downtown Jacksonville could be: the hub around which a greater metropolitan area revolves. So many of the other issues measured in the survey are connected to creating a strong core: Transportation and infrastructure: Sprawl creates traffic and the need to spend resources on more and more roads. Concentrating more people in a higher-density area creates a more

Good-paying jobs and quality public education: Companies that pay well look for cities with a good quality of life that will attract high-quality, well-educated employees. Environment, parks and open spaces: Downtown is defined by its greatest asset, the St. Johns River. The health of that river and public access to it will help drive downtown’s success. Strong, stable neighborhoods and the sense of community: Downtown should be a city’s strongest neighborhood, reflecting the character and personality of the entire metro area. A vital downtown regularly draws people from the suburbs to work, shop, eat and celebrate, creating a greater sense of shared community. Housing: More people living downtown create an environment for retail stores and restaurants to thrive. It gives downtown businesses a built-in workforce and helps ease traffic congestion. Now, the city needs to help spark development of the many empty historic buildings into apartments and condos. Public safety: Some say they don’t feel safe downtown. More streetlights, more activity and more people will counteract that. There’s not an overabundance of panhandlers and homeless people in the area; there’s just so little activity on a regular basis that they tend to stick out. JCCI has worked with several cities on visioning projects, including San Antonio a few years ago (sa2020.org). Now, that city is making a name for itself. It heads up the Milken Institute’s 2011 Best Performing Cities index, has the second-largest bike-share program, was named a brain-gain city (sixth in the nation for in-migration of college-educated new residents with a bachelor’s degree or higher), lowered teen pregnancy by 10 percent, went from being one of the fattest cities to one of the fittest, created “cafécollege” to help kids go to college and voted last November to add a quarter-cent sales tax to fund early childhood education. “They identified what they wanted to become and aligned public policy and other goals to make it happen,” Warner said. “That’s within two years of announcing the plan. Even better things are on the horizon.” The JAX2025 results give us the opportunity to wrestle with our goals. “Who are we, and who do we want to become?” Warner said. “We haven’t seen that in any of the other communities, this conflicted community identity.” Downtown is the key to solving Jacksonville’s identity crisis.

Persis S. Mistry, before and after she lost 100 pounds doing Bikram yoga.

Yoga Changed My Body and My Life

I believe that I embody the face of fitness because I started from rock bottom at more than 200 pounds with no strenuous physical activity my entire life, coupled with negative self-esteem, and worked my way to the top. I would have never thought when I took my first Bikram yoga class weighing in at 210 pounds that I would ever be in the physical shape to compete in my first Florida Regional Yoga Asana Championship. I have the same story as everyone else out there trying to lose weight. I felt like I tried every diet out there and nothing worked. I tried weight-loss boot camps, HCG diet, Dukan Diet, fasts and multiple cleanses. For me, I hit rock bottom when the scale tipped at 210 pounds. I needed to get my life in order! My pediatrician told me that I was at risk for developing many health problems if I did not take my weight seriously. I knew I needed to pick something and stick with it, so I did. It all started with a promotional offer announced at my high school that was advertising a Bikram yoga studio. I wanted something that was going to provide me immaculate results in a short period of time. Miraculously enough, Bikram yoga was my light at the end of the tunnel; it was everything I ever wanted and so much more. I love to tell the horror story of my first class. I had to sit down almost every other posture. I was chugging water desperately, hoping the pain would go away if I did, and I came out of that class drenched in sweat. The conditions are ruthless: 105-plus degrees at 50 percent humidity for 90 minutes. After that class, I came once a day for 30 days. The only real diet modification I made was eliminating soda completely. I lost 15 pounds. People always ask me what food I ate to get those kinds of results, and although I didn’t stop eating out five days a week, I didn’t make severe diet changes. I was not hitting up the McDonald’s drive-through after class, but I didn’t become a vegetarian. I still ate, and that was what helped this to work. A Bikram yoga class, depending on your size and how hard you work, can have you burning up to 1,000 calories! I will say I was definitely more mindful of what I ate. I was never a quantity eater; I was a bad-choice eater. My mother would order the salad with her meal, and I would get the fries. Happy with my 15-pound weight loss in a mere 30 days, I continued. In addition to my shrinking body, the side effects of doing the yoga consisted of better sleep, strength, moods, flexibility and athleticism. Yoga helped me build my confidence and selfesteem. My former incredibly large exterior began to slowly disappear and my clothes began to hang off my body. Doing yoga just once a day, every day, was what led to my successful weight loss and

maintenance of my current weight. I lost 100 pounds and more than 42 inches all around my frame! I can proudly say I have earned my body. Before, I hated everything about my body. Instead of going under the knife, I took a big leap and committed to something that has improved my health, well-being and confidence as a young, strong, independent woman. Persis S. Mistry Daytona Beach

Yoga Is About Service

Thanks so much for the article in this month’s Folio Weekly [“The Practice That Heals,” Jan. 9]. You could have driven the content in your yoga article in so many directions, and you chose to share in such a powerful way. Yoga is about service and without that, we are missing out as teachers, leaders, studio owners and community builders. Thank you for bringing awareness to our awesome city by introducing the power in this practice for incredible healing for people. As a result of your article, I received a phone call requesting information on how our Yoga for Youth Program can be supported. THIS is how communities become powerful. Thank you for closing the gap and creating connection. Mary Lyn Jenkins, owner, Big Fish Yoga Jacksonville Beach

A Better Definition of Iyengar Yoga

First, I want to thank you for the listing in the yoga issue. Secondly, I would like to comment on a section of the issue where the vocabulary lists the styles of yoga. I am an Iyengar yoga teacher in training. This is no small feat; an Iyengar teacher is only able to apply for a three-year training after a minimum of three years study. Iyengar teachers are the most rigorously trained yoga teachers in the world and the only yoga teachers who hold certification that is universally recognized. Folio Weekly’s description of Iyengar stated: “What is it? Iyengar yoga is a purist form of slow-moving yoga that incorporates props like blocks, straps and harnesses to achieve perfect form. “Why do it? It’s good if you’re a patient person looking for a calm routine who likes to get something right but not necessarily get it fast.” Iyengar yoga is not calm, not slow and not slow-moving. Iyengar yoga teachers are skilled in understanding the poses and build sequences to teach the students progressively difficult poses where the students develop stamina, flexibility and endurance. The students expect correction to keep the body safe, and the poses are held longer to intensify the depth of the pose. It is inherently therapeutic because of the attention to detail and alignment.

Editorial

Start Some Sane Discussions

For two weeks, the Backpage Editorial has addressed the issues of the Sandy Hook tragedy: news sensationalism and mental health. Next, I imagine, will be gun control, violent video games and then poor parenting. In Barbara Abelhauser’s piece [“Transmitting Tragedy,” Jan. 2], the bridge-tender points out that violent crimes are at the lowest rates in 40 years; it is pointed out in the book ”Freakonomics” that this is directly a result of Roe v. Wade. Someday we will discover the disconnect that creates a sociopath or psychopath (I never remember which is which), and we will be able to better identify and correct this genetic anomaly. But until such a time, all discussions should include some gun control, legal safe abortions, access to good mental health care for all and some type of system to train teachers and medical providers to report the sullen loners that seem to fit a very narrow profile. Don’t get me wrong; I really don’t think the percentage of defective minds that could perpetrate such horrible atrocities has gone up that much since the beginning of time, but 30-round clips, anti-choice, putting our mentally ill on the streets, the sensational media and discussing anything that would make our nation a little safer and a little saner can’t hurt. But mostly I wish Nancy Grace would stop scaring the hell outta people. Mark Caprio Jacksonville

Who Needs These Weapons?

The mad rush to buy as many assault rifles as possible before the government bans such weapons is a clear indication that this country has more mental health issues than we realize. What clear-thinking, sane individuals would think they need to arm themselves with military assault weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammo and 30-round clips? The answer is: Too many crazies watching too much “Rambo.” There is simply no need for civilians to own such weapons. I would be willing to bet that sales of long-popular hunting rifles and shotguns are less than 1 percent of new sales. 2013If far-right fringe groups want to play army on the weekend, let them use wooden guns. I think the level of education between gun addicts and gun control advocates speaks volumes. It’s like when you have a limited vocabulary, and you run out of words during a discussion — you simply start swinging.

Kevin Hoot of Jacksonville has been paying permanent alimony to his former wife of 18 years for the past 13 years. He is a supporter of Florida Alimony Reform, which is seeking to change the law. Photo: Walter Coker

Paying It Forward and Forward and Forward

Is permanent alimony unfair or a necessary safeguard for stay-at-home and disabled spouses?

hen brides and grooms recite their marriage vows “till death do us part,” most don’t know that phrase could also apply to lifelong alimony if they eventually divorce. “I equate it to slavery, and the state of Florida is the one making me do it. I have to work to give money to her, or I go to jail,” said Kevin Hoot of Jacksonville, who has been paying permanent alimony for 13 years to his former wife, to whom he was married for 18 years. “I’m bitter about it. I don’t like the idea,” said Hoot. A grassroots group, Florida Alimony Reform, is taking another run at passing a bill in the Legislature which would end permanent alimony, along with making other changes to the laws, such as not including a second wife’s earnings to increase alimony payments. The organization, known as FAR, is run by Alan Ross Frisher, a certified divorce financial analyst in Melbourne, Fla., who paid alimony for nine years after he and his wife divorced after 13 years of marriage. He no longer pays alimony. On Frisher’s fourth trip to court, the judge denied a motion from his wife’s attorney to make him pay his wife’s $18,000 legal bill. As a result, the couple went back into mediation and she agreed to free him from permanent alimony. Every day Frisher sees the inequities of the issue. He said some members of his group are paying $10,000 to $50,000 a month in alimony. On the other side of the issue is the Family Law Section of The Florida Bar, an organization of about 4,100 attorneys. In last year’s legislative session, it actively fought against FAR’s proposed reforms, calling them unnecessary in light of changes made to the law in 2010 and 2011. The changes included revising the factors that are considered in awarding alimony, setting up classifications based on the length of a marriage and setting up the four types of alimony: bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational and permanent, also known as longterm. Bridge-the-gap alimony is designed to help assist a spouse in transition from being married to being single, it’s applicable for up to two years. Rehabilitative alimony helps a person establish the capacity for self-support through

redevelopment of previous skills or credentials, or education, training and work experience. Durational alimony provides a person with economic assistance for a set period of time if there is no ongoing need for support on a permanent basis. Permanent alimony is designed primarily for a person whose marriage lasted 17 years or more and who lacks “the financial ability to meet his or her needs and necessities of life following a dissolution of marriage,” including stay-at-home moms and the disabled. “In awarding permanent alimony, the court shall include a finding that no other form of alimony is fair and reasonable under the circumstances of the parties,” the law reads. FAR wants to eliminate permanent alimony and make durational alimony the default for those receiving payments from their ex-spouses. Ann Dwyer, who receives permanent alimony, is opposed to that idea. Dwyer was 45 when she and her husband of 21 years divorced. She had been a wife and a homemaker for much of her life and had no marketable skills when the divorce occurred. She received the family home in Orlando and permanent alimony. “I don’t know where I would be without it,” said Dwyer, who returned to community college to take some property accounting courses. A small real estate company, which grew into a larger firm, hired her, but she still brought in barely enough to pay her mortgage. “Permanent alimony is a saving grace for a lot of displaced homeowners,” she said. “I strongly believe alimony is necessary.” Dwyer, 68, although retired, still performs a few accounting jobs to supplement her alimony, Social Security and retirement savings. Florida is a no-fault divorce state and both men and women can receive alimony. Nationally, 97 percent of alimony payments go to women, according to the Census data. But the Family Law Section, which shepherded some changes to the state’s laws in 2010 and 2011, is not convinced changes are needed and points to cases like Dwyer’s, a displaced housewife who barely made a living. “Permanent alimony still has a place in Florida,” said Carin Porras, chair of the Family Law Section of The Florida Bar. In last year’s legislative session, the FAR’s JANUARY 23-29, 2013 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | 7

reform bill overwhelmingly passed the state House 83-30, but opponents bottled it up in the state Senate Judiciary Committee. It died when the session ended. ™ There' s a lot at stake. Divorce is a multibillion-dollar industry in the United States,∫ Frisher said. Hoot said he believes it' s about a $3-billion-a-year business in Florida. Because of legislative rules, Frisher' s group will have to draft a new bill. Rep. Ritch Workman, R-Melbourne, and Sen. Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland, have agreed to sponsor the bill in the Legislature. Neither responded to Folio Weekly with comment on the proposed legislation. The bill was filed Jan. 17 in the House. There are no statewide statistics on the number of divorced couples paying and receiving alimony in Florida, although both Porras and Nancy Dowd, a David Levin Chair in Family Law and professor and director of the Center on Children & Families at the University of Florida, said most divorcing couples reach a settlement and avoid court. ™ Alimony is an uncommon outcome of most divorces,∫ Dowd said. ™ The elimination of permanent alimony is something we cannot agree to,∫ said Porras. Permanent alimony is important when a spouse has spent years raising children and working within the home, but not have marketable ©does 2011 skills to support herself. It is also an important factor when the spouse is disabled. ™ The Family Law Section represents both sides and it promotes changes that are appropriate and will be beneficial to both sides,∫ Porras said. According to the Office of the State Courts Administrator, 6,443 couples divorced in fiscal year 2010-' 11 in the Fourth Circuit, which includes Clay, Nassau and Duval counties. Duval reported 5,007 divorces, followed by Clay with 1,003 divorces and Nassau with 503. In 2011, 84,786 marriages were dissolved in Florida. The U.S. Census reports that in 2009, the latest year for which statistics are available, 349,000 people nationwide were receiving alimony, but there was no data for Florida. Permanent alimony forces divorced couples to remain in ™ a constant state of entanglement,∫

FolioWeekly

Frisher said. ™ Although no system of spousal support will ever be perfect, a good system will balance the needs of the supported spouse against the burden on the supporting spouse and will ensure that the negative effects of divorce are imposed equally on both partners to the marriage,∫ he said. One of the changes made by the Legislature was the emphasis on durational alimony, said Porras. ™ Durational has been wonderful,∫ she said. ™ The feeling is that durational has been a great tool.∫ The current law states, ™ Durational alimony may be awarded when permanent alimony is inappropriate.∫ The new bill is still being drafted, but it includes making durational alimony the default and make alimony last less than 50 percent of the length of the marriage, unless there are special circumstances. It also removes a judge' s ability to make a second spouse' s income or assets be considered in alimony modifications. FAR also hosts a ™ Second Wives Club∫ to promote the plight of women who marry a man paying alimony. Teresa Tezack of Palm Coast falls into that category. ™ My husband and I have been married for 11 years, and he has been paying permanent alimony for equal to the length of his marriage to his ex,∫ she explained in an email. ™ When his marriage ended, she left the marriage with more money than he did. During the last 12 years, she has had long-term relationships with two different men. Both of those relationships involved cohabitation and living as if they were married by wearing wedding bands.∫ Tezack said when their oldest child graduated from high school, the ex-wife wanted to increase her alimony, and ™ now the court wants to use my income and savings as a basis to create her support.∫ When she was a single woman with a child, Tezack tried to save money as best she could. ™ Now, my saving money and being a responsible citizen and mother is backfiring on me, and the court wants to give it to my husband' s ex.

Justice performed on Jan. 21 with the world-class drum and bugle corps Boston Crusaders, one of 55 groups selected from more than 2,800 applicants to be in the parade. James, a junior, set the goal of marching with a drum and bugle corps early in high school, playing an alto saxophone. The Boston Crusaders don’t use saxophones, so he learned to play the euphonium, a smaller version of a saxophone.

The dog’s former owner, Randal Bryan Hart, 28, charged with animal cruelty, was being held in St. Johns County Jail on $5,000 bond. Hart relinquished ownership of the dog at the scene when he was arrested Jan. 14. The dog, Amber, is being treated at Atlantic Veterinary Clinic.

Are You Ready for Some Football? The University of North Florida is exploring the possibility of starting a football program. UNF President John Delaney (pictured) has asked the Board of Trustees for permission to begin discussions with faculty and students. He emphasizes that this is exploratory and not a commitment to adding football. Delaney has long said a university needs about 25,000 students to properly support a football program; UNF has 17,000. “We are simply examining the pros, cons, costs and ramifications and doing preliminary due diligence,” Delaney said in a statement. He added that the program would have to support itself and not affect the school academically.

Civil Rights Leader Nominated A man who led St. Augustine’s Civil Rights movement has been nominated for the city’s highest honor, the La Florida Award, according to First Coast News. Historians say Robert Hayling was pivotal in bringing Martin Luther King Jr. to the area during the struggle. St. Augustine businessman Herbie Wiles, who started Herbie Wiles Insurance, has also been nominated. The City Commission will vote on an honoree at a future meeting.

Dog Gone After winning the Florida gubernatorial Republican nomination in 2010, Rick Scott announced his family had rescued a Labrador retriever and had named it Reagan. When asked by reporters recently what happened to the dog, current and former spokespersons for the governor refused to answer. Gov. Scott finally solved the mystery. The dog was a handful and couldn’t stand to be around anyone carrying anything. He was scaring the mansion staff and the governor’s photographer. The Scotts gave it back to its prior owner; they now have a 7-year-old rescue Lab named Tallee.

A New Spot for Tree Sale Mark your calendars for Feb. 23, the 26th annual flowering tree sale, at a new location in the heart of San Marco at the intersection of Atlantic Boulevard and Hendricks Avenue.

In an op-ed column that appeared in The Lakeland Ledger and several Bar publications during in the 2012 session, David Manz, who was then Family Law Section chair, said preservation of Florida’s alimony laws is good for spouses, families and taxpayers. He contended FAR’s proposed changes

to the current alimony laws would strain Florida’s already overwhelmed court system and ultimately increase dependence on social programs by forcing mostly women and children into state-run programs and services because they had no means of support. Porras questions FAR’s motives. “They are a special interest group, unhappy about paying permanent alimony awards,” Porras said. Ron Word rword@folioweekly.com

ou’re resting comfortably on a terrycloth-covered table. Soft music is playing in the background, the lights are dimmed and the smell of lavender fills the air and sets the mood for relaxation. The stresses of your day and the aches and pains of age start to vanish by the sheer, warm touch of a hand. Not just any hand, mind you, but one well-trained and licensed to help you escape from the pressures of your world, if only for an hour. Massage therapy is not a new concept. It has a long and deeply rooted history in many cultures around the world. And while it’s more commonly known as a pampering technique

to help the stressed-out relax, growing evidence shows more people are realizing its benefits beyond relaxation and making massage a part of their health care regimen. According to a 2011 study conducted by the American College of Physicians (ACP), massage may be more effective than the usual medical interventions for better pain management and improving function in patients with chronic low back problems. Although the ACP notes there is limited evidence backing up the study results, it still recommends relaxation massage as one form of treatment for chronic low back pain.

physician at Mayo Clinic in Florida. He says massage is any kind of movement of tissue — skin, muscles and tendons — for the improvement of health or function, an ancient therapeutic treatment that’s becoming more widely used in mainstream medicine. “For centuries, the Egyptians and Chinese have known the many health benefits of touch therapy,” Esser said. “And massage as we know it today evolved from those ancient methods.” Some of the health benefits reaped by having a massage include reduced inflammation, eased stiffness, lessened pain and lowered blood pressure.

What to Expect Preliminary • The massage therapist will ask you questions to determine your overall health and your desired results. • This information helps the therapist structure the session to achieve your health and wellness goals. Privacy • Before your massage, you’ll be asked to remove clothing to your level of comfort. The therapist will leave the room while you undress. • You will lie on a padded massage table that may have a face cradle. A sheet or towel covers your body, except for the part being massaged. • If you’re getting a chair massage, you will not be asked to remove clothing. You sit in a specially designed chair that supports the front of the body and allows you lean forward. Environment • Music might be played during the session. If you prefer not to have music or talking, tell your therapist. • Your therapist should check about pressure and comfort throughout the session. The Massage • The therapist may use oil or lotion, which helps perform the strokes. If you’re allergic to oils or lotions, tell your therapist in advance. • If you’re receiving a hot stone massage, make sure you’re comfortable with the temperature of the stones. • Depending on your needs, your therapist will massage either the full body (except for private areas) or only speciﬁc areas. • Table massages usually last between 30 and 60 minutes. • After your massage, slowly get up and get dressed in private. Your therapist may offer you water after you’re dressed. • Depending on your environment, tips are appreciated but not required. Source: American Massage Therapy Association

Massage can be performed by a licensed therapist using different methods such as heated stones, essential oils and even water through a technique called aqua or hydrotherapy massage, in which warm water is jetted from special hoses. Also known as touch therapy, massage can bring about powerful physiological changes in the body that affect us emotionally and physically, Esser said. “The human touch can elicit feelings of calm, peace, tranquility — feelings of safety that help to facilitate healing and health,” Esser said. “On the physiologic level, part of this process is the release of ‘feel-good’ hormones like serotonin and dopamine.” Results of a study on massage therapy published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed that having frequent Swedish massages — once or twice a week — does more than just help reduce stress levels. The study suggests it could increase disease-fighting white blood cells circulating in the body. Esser noted that, over the last few decades, the science has become even more clear regarding the physiologic mechanisms for the relaxation and calming effects of massage. “In a study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience, it was reported that cortisol, a primary stress-related hormone, is reduced through regular use of massage,” Esser said. “On average, these studies demonstrate a 31 percent reduction in cortisol and up to a 30 percent increase in the hormones serotonin and dopamine that bring about feelings of calmness, contentment and joy. So, the relaxation you feel after a massage isn’t just a feeling, it’s something real going on in your body.” Esser said the results from the study have been shown in diverse populations from newborn infants to people with chronic conditions, and even those with mood

disorders like depression and anxiety. Jacksonville resident Lisa Klueppel, who works out nearly three hours a day, five days a week, said with that kind of schedule, a monthly massage is a must. The 34-year-old social media manager for Nemours Health Systems teaches a variety of high-impact classes at area YMCAs — sometimes back-to-back. Also, she participates in two or three classes by other instructors, and those classes become her workout. When she’s not in the gym, you can find her cycling on the streets around Northeast Florida. “As someone who does a lot of resistance training, plyometrics and high-impact cardio, I need the muscle recovery and release that a massage offers,” said Klueppel. “I like a lot of pressure, so I prefer a deep-tissue massage, but when my muscles get so tight and I need to work out issues with my iliotibial [IT] band [a thick band of fibrous tissue that starts at the hip and runs along the outside of the leg], I opt for a sports massage that incorporates more stretching in the mix.” Active in sports throughout his life, Mike Maloy is a licensed massage therapist. He played college football for Boise State University and looked for a natural, nonmedicinal way to help his body recover from a brutal game or a strenuous workout. That’s when he discovered massage therapy. “I was pleased with the way I felt after a massage and wanted to share my experiences with like-minded people,” said Maloy. Today, Maloy splits his time between two Massage Envy locations at the Beaches and also works with the Jacksonville Jaguars during the season. “Massage therapy is a technique to manipulate muscles and tissues to aid in a variety of health issues such as reducing stress, blood pressure and pain from an injury,” said Maloy. Maloy said when he first meets a client, he likes to develop a list of goals — “a timeline of

action for therapy.” “It’s important to know what the client would like the result to be,” Maloy said. “If it’s to promote healing of a persistent injury or to improve circulation, I’ll have a better idea of what the client wants to get from a massage. My goal is to leave the client feeling better, not worse, and that means talking about it up front.” Mayo’s Esser agreed. “It’s important to know what you want from massage to establish realistic goals,” said Esser. “Make sure your goals and the therapist’s skills are also compatible. This will set you and the therapist up for success.” However, Esser advised, those who seek massage for pain treatment should have a baseline examination by a physician before proceeding. “There are some cases where massage — depending on the type used — can be counterproductive,” said Esser. “For example, open wounds, a history of blood clots, fractures, burns, acute flare-ups of arthritis, some cancer patients and pain from an unknown source should be addressed in advance, and that’s why a baseline evaluation is important.” Atlantic Beach resident Richard Salkin, a self-employed fulltime freelance writer and consultant, has been getting massages about once a month for 15 years. He said it’s part therapy and part pampering. “I work a hectic schedule, mostly seated at my desk, and no matter how much you pay attention to ergonomics, there are going to be knots and tension,” Salkin said. “After I have a massage, it’s like coming out of a really good yoga class with that glassy-eyed, natural buzz. It’s definitely a stress-reliever.” “Bottom line, when someone comes in for a massage, they want to feel better than when they walked in,” Maloy said. “That’s the goal of a massage therapist, too.” Joy Batteh-Freiha themail@folioweekly.com

Swedish: The most common type of massage in the U.S., a massage therapist uses long, smooth strokes, kneading in circular movements throughout the skin, using lotions or oils. Aromatherapy: A therapist uses select essential oils such as lavender to help the patient relax, reducing stress, energizing and calming. Hot stone: Heated, smooth stones are placed on certain areas of the body to warm and loosen tight muscles and balance energy centers of the body. Deep tissue: This method targets deep layers of muscle, focusing on the body’s particular painful or stiff trouble spots. Some people may feel sore afterward. Shiatsu: In Japanese, shiatsu means “finger pressure.” A therapist uses rhythmic finger pressure on acupressure points of the body. Pregnancy: This is popular among expectant mothers, but it’s important to have a therapist trained in the proper way to position and support the woman’s body. Mayo Clinic in Florida’s Stephan Esser, a physical medicine and rehabilitative physician, said expectant mothers should wait until after their first trimester to have a pregnancy massage. Neuromuscular: This is a form of soft tissue manipulation that aims to treat underlying causes of chronic pain involving the muscular and nervous systems.

Sports: It’s specifically designed for athletes, but this method can be used on most people. It focuses on preventing or treating injury and enhancing athletic performance. Reflexology: Also called a foot massage, this type involves applying pressure to certain points on the foot that correspond to organs and systems within the body.

hese days, most people know what they should be doing for exercise and nutrition, but the question is — are they? With so many fitness centers providing a multitude of options such as wellness programs, group fitness classes, pools, personal training and more, the choices can be overwhelming. One option is versatile, inexpensive and fun: Boot camp-style workouts. “Boot camp” is the traditional term used for a moderate- to high-intensity class that involves minimal equipment and focuses on building cardiovascular capacity, muscular strength and endurance. These classes can range from 30 to 60 minutes, be held virtually anywhere and have various numbers of participants at all fitness levels. Depending on where you go, many different names (often catchy ones) are used to motivate participants. These classes are held in nearly every fitness center, on the beaches east of Jacksonville and at many different parks across Northeast Florida. Boot camps, often referred to as circuit-style classes, can be highly effective with minimal equipment. These programs succeed because of ease of administration, along with the social aspect of working up a good sweat with a group of friends, co-workers or complete strangers. People see results and have fun. Exercise should be fun. Growing up as kids, we have fond memories of playing outdoors until it either got too dark outside or our moms yelled for us to come in for dinner. Whether playing touch football, 14 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | JANUARY 23-29, 2013

capturing the flag, shooting hoops, jumping rope or hula-hooping, the result was always a fun time. Just because we’re all grown up now doesn’t mean we can’t have fun while exercising, and this is why boot camp classes have become so popular. Easily portable equipment, such as medicine balls, kettle bells, battle ropes, jump ropes, cones, hula hoops, ladders and hurdles can be set up anywhere to get a great workout. You can also hold a class with no equipment at all by creatively combining body weight exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, crunches and sprints. Many of the local parks have walking and running trails, with a variety of outdoor fitness stations including pull-up bars, dip bars, ab benches and steps, to create an interval-style workout as well. You can have fun while exercising with little to no equipment. Whether you choose to visit a fitness center close to home or work, take your workout to the beach or frequent a park with a fitness trail, the choice is up to you. Challenge yourself or grab a group of friends to get out there and have some fun! Timothy L. Burrows Jr.

Mr. Telephone Man

Why do smartphones make Chris Rainey dumb?

30 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | JANUARY 23-29, 2013

n the last few years, we have seen a cavalcade of pro-ready talent emerge from University of Florida’s football program. Players like tight end Aaron Hernandez and wide receiver Percy Harvin, just to name two, look like they’ll be Pro Bowl candidates for years to come. Perhaps Tim Tebow, despite his oftendiscussed flaws, has another opportunity ahead of him. Arguably, the most talented recent ex-Gator skill player, though, is running-back Chris Rainey. For all of his talent, however, character issues have never fully gone away — and they’re center stage again. On Jan. 10, Rainey — who just concluded an up-and-down rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers — was in Gainesville, which has been a place of highs and lows for the speedy scatback for a few years. Rainey made news for a fight with a girlfriend a couple of years ago, during which he texted her a series of irate messages, culminating with a not-so-veiled threat: “Time to die.” For obvious reasons, this shocked many who heard about it — even though the recipient of the texts declined to press charges, and the charges were pled down to “misdemeanor stalking.” Rainey was suspended for five games, a penalty that didn’t help his draft status, which went from a likely first-round selection to a fifth-round pick for the Steelers. The former track star’s ability was never an issue. His judgment? Another matter, but the risk was worth it for the Steelers, who can always use more running backs, considering the nature of their offense, especially when the cold wind whips through Pittsburgh as autumn turns to winter. Rainey’s speed advantage was not quite as obvious on the pro level as it had been in the SEC, so he accomplished little on the field this season: 100 rushing yards with two touchdowns. For some players, that’s a quarter; for Rainey, it was a season. Despite this underachievement, there wasn’t any reason to think Pittsburgh would let him go after signing him to a four-year contract — that is, until it became clear that Rainey hadn’t changed his ways regarding romantic relationships and anger management. The incident that led to Rainey’s release on Jan. 10 was reminiscent of the one that got him in trouble in his college days. In the recent mishap, the Gainesville police claimed Rainey

FolioWeekly

and the alleged victim were arguing over Rainey’s cellphone when the woman entered Rainey’s roommate’s vehicle. The Steeler confronted her, pulling her from the vehicle, and — according to witnesses — Rainey slapped her across the face with his open hand. The woman reportedly ran away, with Rainey giving chase to recover his cellphone. He used his SEC speed to catch up with her and get the bag. Multiple witnesses saw all of this, and that was enough for the Steelers, whose general manager issued a statement: “Under the circumstances and due to this conduct, Chris will no longer be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.” Story over, right? Not so fast. As it went with Rainey’s 2010 domestic squabble, when his then-girlfriend released a statement saying his actions were “out of character,” to help get the charges reduced, his current girlfriend came forward and said the same thing. “The incident that occurred today is both troubling and unfortunate,” the victim emailed the judge. “The incident was simply over a book bag with a cellphone in it and possession of this bag. In no way did I feel physically threatened at any time.” “Over the course of our relationship together, I have never been verbally or physically threatened by Chris Rainey. What happened today was a misunderstanding and should not affect his future in any way,” she continued. Misunderstandings do happen, of course. But the second such misunderstanding in three years raises many concerns. The first concern: Knowing what’s in the public record about this man, why do people continue to date him and issue apologies for his behavior? Because he’s a star? Folks probably made the same cases for OJ Simpson, Lawrence Phillips, Rae Carruth and any other star athlete who liked to get rough with the women who loved him. It’s appalling that has to happen. It’s appalling he gets away with this stuff, again and again. And it’s appalling that he — for all of his bluster — is yet again having the girlfriend speak for him, instead of stepping up himself. This likely will blow over. And he likely will be back in the league. SEC Speed. And SEC Stupidity to match. AG Gancarski themail@folioweekly.com twitter.com/aggancarski

Roosevelt’s Cheatin’ Heart With Murray in the lead, a new presidential flick meanders, unsure of its identity HYDE PARK ON HUDSON **G@ Rated R

34 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | JANUARY 23-29, 2013

t’s been something of a banner movie year for American presidents: With summer came a leader of the free world with a secret passion and admirable expertise for offing the undead. The fall gave us Spielberg’s real “Lincoln,” as opposed to the vampire slayer, this time magnificently portrayed by Daniel DayLewis, simultaneously humanized and deified as slave-emancipator and nation-healer. More recently, Obama was a background presence in the controversial, acclaimed action thriller “Zero Dark Thirty.” And now for something completely different … a first in the history of U.S. presidents on film: “Hyde Park on Hudson” features Bill Murray as a frisky Franklin Delano Roosevelt, taking a long ride through the lush hills of upstate New York with pretty, proper, distant cousin Daisy (Laura Linney). They cap the trip with a round of discreetly photographed erotic pleasure, as Glenn Miller’s “Moonlight Serenade” plays softly on the convertible’s radio.

Unfortunately, FDR’s philandering heart, leading him to share his affections with multiple women, including wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) and private secretary Missy (Elizabeth Marvel), is a theme writ overly large in a film that’s otherwise a perfectly pleasant comic diversion. Murray, to his credit, doesn’t go the route of full-on impersonation. He neither looks nor sounds like FDR, in real life a handsome, broad-shouldered man with a well-defined patrician accent. But peering through those pince-nez glasses and using the iconic long-stemmed cigarette holder, Murray does manage to convey the easy smile and well-practiced charm associated with Roosevelt. And there’s little to none of the sly jokester sensibility that’s frequently at the heart of many winning Murray performances, including his role as an easily distracted attorney and cuckolded husband in last year’s “Moonrise Kingdom.” “Hyde Park,” directed by Roger Michell (“Venus,” “Notting Hill”) concerns a narrow slice of history that hasn’t been given much attention. It’s 1939, the Great Depression is lingering, and the whole world is watching to see what the ascendant Adolf Hitler will do next. King George VI, known as Bertie (Samuel West), the same stutter-afflicted man who was the focus of 2010’s “The King’s Speech,” visits FDR’s summer home, a rambling place ruled with an iron first by FDR’s mother, Sara (Elizabeth Wilson). The king brings along his wife Elizabeth (Olivia Colman), mother of Princess Elizabeth, the future queen, and her sister Margaret. George VI is on a mission to elicit America’s support, in the likelihood that England will go to war against Hitler’s Germany. “Without some help from us, there may soon not be an England to be king of,”

FDR declares at one point. Michell’s film, from a script by Tony-winning playwright Richard Nelson, stumbles at times, largely because it seems so unsure of its identity. Is it primarily the story of the heart-crushing education of the previously sheltered Daisy, heard in voiceover several times throughout the film? Linney gives a somewhat drowsy performance as a woman who travels from awed respect of FDR to quiet intimacy as his closest confidante, to eventual enormous disappointment. Perhaps the movie is meant to be a tale of two cultures clashing. Several of the film’s funniest sequences juxtapose the royal couple’s stolid propriety with the American president’s far more casual and laidback approach to daily living. The king and queen are put up in a room where one wall is adorned with a series of cartoon drawings mocking the Brits’ efforts in the War of 1812, and the two are told that they should look forward to an afternoon picnic, in their honor, where hot dogs will be served. “Are they trying to make fun of us?” asks Elizabeth, aghast. The film’s finest, most convincing dramatic moments come during a sequence in which the president and the king drink, smoke and talk casually, exchanging confidentialities regarding their respective indignities — Franklin’s polio, which has made his legs useless, and Bertie’s stutter, particularly pronounced during times of great stress. It’s too bad that relationship, even if greatly expanded for dramatic effect, wasn’t the center of the film. As it is, the movie weaves and wobbles, closing with a postscript suggesting that Daisy was afflicted with a case of endless love after all, a notion that’s as sweet as the film is slight.

Grand Last Stand

Older and slower, but still intimidating, Schwarzenegger blasts bad guys in properly paced action flick THE LAST STAND ***@ Rated R

e always told us he’d be back. Arnold Schwarzenegger might not have the physical presence he once did, and his acting is still as terrible as ever, but darn if “The Last Stand” isn’t an enjoyable action flick. Sure, he’s rusty in his first starring role since “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (2003), and there’s little chance his career will reach the heights it once had. But I defy any lover of ’80s action movies not to say, “Yes, all is right with the world” when Schwarzenegger jumps off a building while wrestling with a bad guy, shooting him in the head on the way down. There are two storylines: One follows Sheriff

If Ray were played by almost any other actor, the film would have a notably different feel, but with Schwarzenegger, we get the one-liners and crazy action we’ve grown to know, love and – until now – miss. Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) as he investigates the murder of a local farmer (Harry Dean Stanton). It’s an unusual occurrence, to be sure: Ray lives in Sommerton Junction, a tiny, one-road town in southern Arizona, right on the Mexican border. His team — deputies Mike (Luis Guzman), Sarah (Jaimie Alexander) and

Jerry (Zach Gilford) — are ill-equipped for a murder investigation (loose cannons played by Johnny Knoxville and Rodrigo Santoro also help out), but they nonetheless proceed when evidence soon puts Ray on the trail of local thug Burrell (Peter Stormare). The other storyline follows FBI agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) as he tracks drug lord Cortez (Eduardo Noriega). Driving a Corvette capable of doing 200 mph, and with FBI agent Ellen Richards (Genesis Rodriguez) as his hostage, Cortez is planning, with Burrell’s help, to speed through Sommerton Junction and find safe haven in Mexico. Each storyline is properly paced and interesting on its own, and as they gradually This is a copyright protected proo work their way together, the pieces fall into place neatly.

You see, it doesn’t matter that Ray is lousy at small talk (and Schwarzenegger’s lousy at delivering the lines). It doesn’t matter, because we don’t see Ray Owens when we look at the screen — we see Aaah-nold the Action Hero, and as a result, we know exactly what to expect and we’re delighted when it happens. If Ray were played by almost any other actor, the film would have a notably different feel, but with Schwarzenegger, we get the one-liners and crazy action we’ve grown to know, love and — until now — miss. “The Last Stand” has big fights with big guns, pretty girls, nicely timed comic relief, odious bad guys and the Governator back in the saddle and kickin’ butt. In other words, it’s everything you want and expect it to be.

FILM RATINGS

MARY-LOUISE PARKER TREY PARKER PARKER STEVENSON SARAH JESSICA PARKER

NOW SHOWING

ARGO ***G Rated R • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency Square, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. Ben Affleck’s Oscar-nominated film is re-released. Affleck directs and stars as CIA operative Tony Mendez, acknowledged as the agency’s top agent when it comes to “exfiltration,” the art of extracting people caught in places they cannot escape. “Argo” succeeds because director Affleck focuses on the journey, not the outcome, to create a taut political thriller. Many familiar faces – John Goodman, Alan Arkin, Kyle Chandler, Bryan Cranston, Victor Garber – deliver strong performances in a film that’s really an ensemble effort. BROKEN CITY Rated R • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency Square, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. Ex-cop-turned-private-eye Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) is hired by New York City mayor Hostetler (Russell Crowe) to spy on his cheating wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Billy finds trouble when he realizes he’s involved in a much larger scandal. DJANGO UNCHAINED ***G Rated R • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency Square, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Clay Theater, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. Disturbing and provocative – yet undeniably entertaining – the film blends action, comedy and drama with sterling performances by Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz and Kerry Washington. It has the distinction of being the most violent mainstream movie of the year. The bigscreen project liberally uses the “N” word, uttered more than 100 times. It’s distinctly Tarantino-esque, stamped with a recognizable personal style we love – or love to hate.

GANGSTER SQUAD *G@@ Rated R • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. The setting is Los Angeles, 1949. Gangster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) has cops, judges and other powers-that-be in his back pocket. Police Chief William Parker (Nick Nolte) has had enough, so he empowers righteous detective John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) to go outside the law and take Cohen down. O’Mara’s team includes Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who’s having an affair with Cohen’s girlfriend, Grace (Emma Stone); street-smart Coleman Harris (Anthony Mackie) and sharpshooter Max Kennard (Robert Patrick). Director Ruben Fleischer (“Zombieland”) leads an amazing cast through an uninspired, predictable film. THE GUILT TRIP *G@@ Rated PG-13 • Regal Avenues Inventor Andy Brewster (Seth Rogen) takes his mother Joyce (Barbra Streisand) on a road trip. The predictable mother-son comedy breaks down with corny jokes. A HAUNTED HOUSE **G@ Rated R • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. In a spoof of the “Paranormal Activity” franchise, “The Devil Inside” and other found-footage flicks, a young couple (Marlon Wayans as Malcolm, Essence Atkins as Kisha) moves into their dream house. Turns out, the house isn’t haunted; Kisha is possessed by a demon, but Malcolm is determined not to let the spirit ruin his relationship or his sex life. THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY **G@ Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. Set before the events of “The Lord of the Rings,” Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) is approached by the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen) and goes on an adventure to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. Joining him are 13 dwarves, led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield.

HYDE PARK ON HUDSON **G@ Rated R • Sun-Ray Cinema Reviewed in this issue.

LINCOLN ***@ Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency Square, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., San Marco Theatre Daniel Day-Lewis immerses himself in his characters; this is the latest of successful transformations. “Lincoln” focuses on the last four months of the president’s administration as he struggles to end the Civil War and ensure permanent freedom for slaves. The great cast includes Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, David Strathairn, Hal Holbrook, James Spader and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

THE IMPOSSIBLE ***G Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. This drama is based on the true story of a family fighting to survive in Thailand after the 2004 tsunami. When the natural disaster strikes, the family is divided: Maria (Naomi Watts) and Lucas (Tom Holland) negotiate the waves together and are rescued by locals, who take them to a nearby hospital. Henry (Ewan McGregor) and the other boys are sheltered at a refugee camp. Maria’s story, highlighted by a great performance from Watts, is the most compelling. JACK REACHER ***@ Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency Square, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. The story opens as a gunman opens fire in a Midwestern city (Pittsburgh replaces the book’s Indiana locale), killing five people. Within hours, the police follow an evidence trail to a former military sniper and make an arrest. Suspect James Barr (Joseph Sikora) doesn’t confess; instead, he asks for Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise). Individual action sequences aren’t groundbreaking, but taken as a whole, the movie’s a nifty combination of action and humor. THE LAST STAND ***@ Rated R • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency Square, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. Reviewed in this issue. LES MISERABLES ***G Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency Square, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Clay Theater, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. This big, lavish Hollywood version of an equally extravagant Broadway musical is phenomenal. Anne Hathaway’s rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” is probably enough to win her a supporting actress Oscar. Sometimes, the best move a director can make is to get out of the way, so kudos to Tom Hooper (“The King’s Speech”) for letting Hathaway shine. LIFE OF PI ***G Rated PG • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency Square, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. A family from India hitches a ride on a freighter. Pi Patel, a zookeeper’s son, survives an ocean disaster, then forms a surprising, wondrous connection with a fearsome Bengal tiger – named Richard Parker. Surviving on a 26-foot

Then, in a freak accident, Stephanie loses her legs above the knee. A few months later, she calls Ali out of the blue. Director/cowriter Jacques Audiard gives us Ali’s story, with Stephanie as an afterthought. This is a mistake. Not only is Cotillard a much better actor than Schoenaerts, her Stephanie has a much more interesting story.

SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK **@@ Rated R • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. Everyone’s jumping on this bandwagon – it’s earned eight Oscar nods and already won several other awards. After eight months in a mental institution, Pat (Bradley Cooper) leaves under dubious circumstances. He was there after flipping over his wife’s adultery, but he means to fix the marriage. Problem is, he isn’t allowed to contact her, and he knows his parents (Robert De Niro, Jacki Weaver) are keeping secrets. He meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a reformed slut who claims she’ll get a message to Pat’s wife in exchange for a favor: She wants Pat to take dance lessons with her.

The dramedy, directed by Judd Apatow (Mann’s husband), delivers many big laughs, but the dramatic segments boil down to Pete and Deb yelling at each other.

WRECK-IT RALPH ***@ Rated PG • AMC Orange Park, Regal Avenues, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. Typecast as the villain, Ralph (voiced by John C.

Director Rich Moore balances gamer cool and kid-friendly fun. ZERO DARK THIRTY ***@ Rated R • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd. Overlong at 157 minutes but still an effective drama, director Kathryn Bigelow’s first film since her Oscar winner, “The Hurt Locker” (2008), will strike a chord with American audiences but notably drags for long stretches, often getting bogged down in drama and detail that’s not entirely relevant. The focus is on CIA operative Maya (Jessica Chastain), who’s stationed in the Middle East and charged with tracking down the 9/11 mastermind. The execution – pun intended – of the mission, from planning to helicopter ride to finding bin Laden to extraction, is perfectly paced by Bigelow, who certainly knows how to generate suspense in her action.

We’re hard at work on a bunch of new tunes and really honing in on the ones that are going to be on the record. So yes, you can expect to hear a lot of new material on this tour. It’s really helpful to road-test new jams to see what connects and what’s hot live. It’s like pre-production before the studio.

F.W.: In addition to your musical career, you’ve got a fairly successful hot sauce company on the side. Do gigs like that provide a way to blow off steam? G.L.: There are only so many hours in the day when you can be productive and really creative. So when I’m not playing my guitar, I channel that energy in different ways. When I first started, it was all about flyering, writing graffiti and making business calls. Then, I wanted to write a book about the music industry called “101 Ways to Not Fuck Up Your Chances of Becoming a Rock Star.” And then we got the hot sauce going, which I now put the most love and energy into. There’s always room for unique things like that, so long as they go with the music. The music has flavor, the hot sauce certainly has flavor [Laughs.], so it all goes hand-in-hand.

F.W.: In early January, you wrote a lengthy blog post celebrating 20 years since meeting your backing band and launching your career. Are those days still fresh in your mind? G.L.: I look back on those years in Boston in the early ’90s as some of the best, most magical times of my life. It was exciting to look back on those fond memories and just let ’em pour out. F.W.: Your unique blend of blues and hiphop certainly inspired a lot of artists, but very few have tried to duplicate what you do. Why do you think that is? G.L.: Well, I met Kid Rock and Jack White at the same show in Detroit back in ’94 when we came through Michigan for the first time. Jack Johnson was heavily influenced by me, The Avett Brothers said they listened to my third record on their entire first tour and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys said in Rolling Stone that his jam in high school was “Sugar Mama,” the first track from our second record. When we first dropped, music was wide open, and since our sound was based on going back to traditional blues, it really impacted a lot of other

F.W.: Going forward, are there any goals you haven’t reached you still plan to conquer? G.L.: Oh yeah, man — so many things. I just turned 40, but it’s funny, I feel like a kid who’s just starting out. That’s my mindset. There’s always the next life experience you want to write about, the next record you want to make, the constant pursuit of perfection. … Music is such an ethereal thing, but you have to keep striving to attain that magic. So my goal moving into 20-lucky-13 is to make a really great hit record. One that people want to hear again and again. That connects with people. That people are stoked to listen to and hear me play live. It’s all about making that connection. Nick McGregor themail@folioweekly.com JANUARY 23-29, 2013 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | 39

Dubstep in Da ’Ville

Electronic trio Krewella layers beats with pop vocals but does songwriting old school KREWELLA with SPEKTREM 9 p.m. Jan. 30 Pure, 8206 Philips Highway, Southside Tickets: $10-$15 1-800-694-1253

lectronic trio Krewella states one goal: “Making you wet … one song at a time.” Get your mind out of the gutter — they’re referring to fans dancing so hard that they’re dripping in sweat. Comprising Texas-born, Chicago-raised sisters and co-vocalists, Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf, as well as producer/DJ Kris “Rain Man” Trindl, the group makes their way to Pure Nightclub in support of their new EP, “Play Hard.” A mixture of dubstep, progressive house and moombahton, Krewella’s sound is a fusion of Skrillex-like beats layered with eerie, pop-ish vocals. Before the trio plays Jacksonville for the first time, Folio Weekly caught up with Jahan Yousaf to chat about the sisters’ childhood, forming the trio and lyricizing with her sister.

Folio Weekly: What are you up to today? Jahan Yousaf: I’m in Los Angeles at our new home, so I’m very happy. We just moved out here literally a week ago. We’re taking off a few months from touring — we just have a few dates here and there — because we’re working on a full-length album. It’s been nice to kind of be living a normal life right now. 40 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | JANUARY 23-29, 2013

F.W.: Have you played Jacksonville before? J.Y.: We have not, but the few times we’ve been to Florida, we’ve loved it. I know it’s a big state, but we’ve gotten a great response there and we’re really excited to do this Florida tour. F.W.: Give me a little background on how the three of you got together. J.Y.: Chris and I met when I was 16 years old. We just met through the metal scene in Chicago — he was the lead guitarist in a metal band — and all three of us would go to metal shows. He would throw parties, and I’d go to his apartment in Chicago, and he would always leave the party and go into his room. I was always wondering what he was doing, so I’d go in there and he’d be making beats. One day, he said, “Hey, I’d love to have a vocalist,” and we started writing together. This was before everybody was trying to make beats, so it was really special at the moment. We decided to turn ourselves into a group and take it more seriously. So, we tried out a couple of other girls and then it hit me — Yasmine is in an indie band. Why don’t we steal her and have her join Krewella? And it was really the perfect fit because we’re sisters, we have a natural vibe together, our writing styles really complement each other, our vocals complement each other and we get along great.

F.W.: What was your childhood like? Did you and Yasmine grow up in a creative household? J.Y.: We were raised in a very emotionally aware household and a very musically aware household. My mom is a graphic designer, and my dad has had a couple of different jobs — always been on the business end of things. But with society and how we were raised, we were kind of always told that anyone in a successful band or a successful artist seems like a dream. And it doesn’t seem realistic to drop out of college or quit your job to do something like that. So music was always a hobby for us. F.W.: So what changed? J.Y.: It took me meeting Chris to realize that it’s not just some unattainable dream that you have to take this risk for if you want the reward — if you want to be successful and you want a life-long career in music. That’s really what hit me and woke me up to take that risk and quit our jobs and drop out of school. F.W.: What do your parents think about it now? J.Y.: They are incredibly supportive and they’re really happy for us. It took a long way to get here. At first, Yasmine and I wrote a letter to our dad because we were too afraid to tell him in person that we want to drop out of school. This was in June 2010. He was

a little skeptical at first, and he wasn’t really that happy for us. When we started really playing music and getting booked for shows, that was when they got that we could have a career in music. F.W.: Tell me about sharing songwriting responsibility with your sister. Do you work together or separately? J.Y.: I have to say that we’re one of the few artists that use notebooks. Lately, we’ve been doing a lot of writing sessions with other people — just to try out different experiences — and everybody’s on a laptop. Yasmine and I do it the old-school way. We use notebooks. But anyway, sometimes we write separately, and we’ll go to Chris individually with an a cappella or lines over an instrumental that he created. Other times, Yasmine and I will have a writing session with friends. We’ve been doing that a lot lately — collaborating with other people. But most of our material is written by just the three of us. It changes every day, though. It depends on our vibe. Yasmine is more lyrically driven and I’m more melody driven and I’m an alto and she’s a soprano. Like I said before, because we’re sisters, we have this natural synergy that really works out perfectly. Nick McGregor themail@folioweekly.com

ince the early ’90s, Anthony Ausgang has been leaving his distinct mark on the contemporary visual art scene. The L.A.based artist may best be known for acrylic works featuring cartoonish cat characters, placed in settings as absurd as they are darkly psychedelic. The cats and critters in Ausgang’s world are sometimes within classic comic book scenarios, including jalopies, nature or night club settings; yet their bodies contort, leap and stretch to the point of being unrecognizable, as a shocked expression with bugged-out eyes is pulled like taff y across a shifting, checkerboard background. In the last century, the feline has been immortalized everywhere, from the 1920s’ surreal flavor of “Felix the Cat” to Dr. Seuss’ “Cat in the Hat” (1957) to Robert Crumb’s notoriously pornographic puss of the swinging ’60s, “Fritz the Cat.” In that same tradition, Ausgang’s rendering of man’s other best friend is one of the more iconic images of what is known as the Lowbrow Movement. In the ’90s, underground art maestro Robert Williams coined the term “lowbrow” to describe the diaspora of artists born from scenes and styles that were by their very nature the antithesis of “highbrow” culture. Everything from hot rod pin-striping, tiki culture, Betty Page adoration, horror film monsters, acid rock posters of the ’60s, punk rock fliers, skateboard designs and graffiti were celebrated and absorbed under the umbrella term Lowbrow. While Ausgang is considered one of the de facto kingpins of Lowbrow, in the past two decades, his art (ausgangart.com) has been gradually clawing its way up from the underground. Ausgang’s imagery has been featured in more than 50 international group and solo exhibits and appeared in a variety of places, from Volcom skate graphics to The Boredoms’ and MGMT’s album covers. The L.A.-based Ausgang, interviewed by email,

46 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | JANUARY 23-29, 2013

explained his views on Lowbrow art, his tripped-out imagery and feline affections. Folio Weekly: Do you feel comfortable with being identified with the Lowbrow movement/ category? Anthony Ausgang: I wear the Lowbrow Art label like a badge of honor since, after all, I was one of the originators of its second wave. Basil Wolverton was arguably the O.G. [original gangster] of the Lowbrow style, but Robert Williams and his Zap crew [were] the primogenitors of what would become Lowbrow with a capital “L,” essentially forming the first wave. That’s because Williams made a great effort to get his paintings in legitimate galleries, an attack that had never been attempted before. He also knew that a lone voice in the wilderness is easily ignored, so he invited all the brothers and sisters of the Lowbrow cloth to participate in group exhibitions. But it wasn’t until rich art collectors began to buy Lowbrow art and art critics wrote about it that the art dealers became seriously interested in what was going on. F.W.: You seem to like to focus on using these cartoon cat characters in most of your pieces. On your online manifesto, you explain that you use those creatures in “an attempt to explain the human condition.” After 20 years of using this same motif, do you ever struggle or feel confined by working with that particular image? A.A.: Sure, I often regret basing my life’s work on an impulse, which was essentially how I chose cats. There was no brainstorming, no anguish over theory — I just found a cat figure in a comic that was in the correct pose for what I was trying to do, and that was it. As I became more famous, people began asking me why I chose cats, what it meant, etc. … Andy Warhol once said that he gave different answers to the same questions asked by interviewers, so he knew what people had read when they talked to him. I have all sorts of answers to why I chose cats; thanks for not asking. F.W.: When I look at your paintings, I’m baffled as to whether or not you’re trying to tell a story, convey some kind of narrative

or simply creating an image as an icon or graphic. In fact, over the years, it seems like you’re creating even less of a “story,” but rather playing with the plasticity and shape of the cat-like characters, to where it seems like you’re almost saturating the figures just to the edge of complete abstraction. Am I off the mark with this observation? A.A.: No, you are correct. Most figurative art is an attempt to capture a particular moment in a narrative. That’s why we see George Washington crossing the Delaware and not eating his cornflakes that morning. The trick is to catch the most dramatic moment. So, Lowbrow took on that dogma and some very interesting and new stories began to be told. Meanwhile, the Lowbrow artists were trashing abstract art, holding it up for public ridicule as the most offensive manifestation of highbrow art. Well, that got me interested in importing these hated elements and seeing if I could slip them by these arbiters of taste. Back in the early 1980s, I worked as a production painter for a furniture upholstery company whose gimmick was selling handpainted fabric. I learned a lot of techniques to make the various decorative patterns, but there was just no way to apply these methods to anything representational. After a while, I forgot most of that knowledge and just worked on developing my own style, eventually getting so good at my method that I got bored and the paintings began to look stagnant. Around that time, a few healthy doses of the powerful psychedelic drug DMT reintroduced me to the joys of abstract visions and a deconstructed reality. I eventually combined my new interest in a nonlinear psychedelic narrative with the painting techniques I had shunned for years; the marriage was perfect and completely reignited my interest in painting again. F.W.: How many cats do you own? A.A.: I have two cats that are all mine and two that come over every day and chill out with us. One of them crosses the street to get over here and actually looks both ways for cars, quite an impressive feat. Sorry, but I’ve never seen a dog do that. Dan Brown themail@folioweekly.com

It’s Pho-tastic

Raise your chopsticks for this Vietnamese hot spot BOWL OF PHO 9902 Old Baymeadows Road, Baymeadows, 646-4455 facebook.com/pages/Bowl-of-Pho/373624159250

he diversity of ingredients and preparations in ethnic cuisines can transport you around the world with their unique flavors. And the décor can enhance the journey. That’s where Bowl of Pho comes in. Pho is a staple in Vietnamese diets. Along with rice noodles and beef broth, traditional pho contains varieties of meat including rare beef, beef flank, brisket, tendon (connective tissue that’s cooked for a long time at a slow temperature, becoming pliable and gelatinous like beef fat), tripe (stomach of a domesticated animal) and meatballs. A large, colorful plate of garnishes is served alongside the oversized bowl. Toss in as much as you’d like of raw jalapeño slices, saw-leaf herb (leaf-like, with a flavor similar to cilantro but stronger), fragrant Thai basil, crunchy bean sprouts, chopped green with purchase of $25 or more onion and cilantro. Add some hot chili sauce Not good with other coupons and a squeeze of lime wedge and you’re ready to expires 12/31/12 FW roll up your sleeves. A bib is recommended but not necessary — for some. Warning: Bowl of Pho’s menu is expansive. © 2013 Each visit, I mix up my order. At this rate, I’ll be 87 by the time I eat my way through the menu. With plenty of appetizers from which to choose, start with the light spring rolls: Shrimp and pork meet vermicelli (thin rice noodles served in many Asian cuisines, from Chinese Cantonese noodles to Filipino pancit), lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumber and cilantro. Everything is carefully tucked into pliable rice paper and rolled. It’s proper form to dip these beauties into the side of hoisin-peanut sauce. For pep, add a dash of siracha. On a recent trip, I diverged from the pho column and ordered from the egg/rice noodle soup list. Instead of the pho varieties’ beef broth, these selections have chicken and pork broth. Barbecue pork with wonton egg noodles (mi hoanh thanh, if you can order in Vietnamese) was a winner: For $7.50, I © 2011 scored six oversized pork wontons swimming with tender slices of barbecue pork. After garnishing my soup, I used chopsticks for the noodles and a large flat-bottomed spoon for the broth. Another favorite is the rice vermicelli, a broth-less option. Your choice of protein is served atop soft, warm, squiggly vermicelli

and garnished with bean sprouts, shredded cucumber and lettuce, mint leaves, cilantro and crushed peanuts. These generously sized dishes are served with a fish sauce called nuoc mam — equal parts sweet, sour, salty and spicy. The requisite boba drink adds a hint of sweetness to the meal’s end. Also called pearl milk tea, boba is known for its signature chewy tapioca balls (or pearls), which sit happily at the bottom of the cup. Slurp them up with an oversized straw, then chew. There are smoothie varieties, blended beverages, or iced. Honeydew, avocado and taro are my go-to flavors because they soar beyond the usual American selections of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. A dome-shaped lid allows for a dollop of whipped cream. Nestled in a shopping center off Baymeadows Road near Southside Boulevard, Bowl of Pho exhibits a spotless modern décor. It used to be closed on Tuesday, but now you can get a noodle fix every day, lunch and dinner. Caron Streibich Folio Weekly’s Bite Club Host biteclub@folioweekly.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The German government sponsored a scientific study of dowsing, a form of magical divination used to locate underground sources of water. After 10 years, the chief researcher testified, “It absolutely works, beyond all doubt. But we have no idea why or how.” An assertion like that may also apply to the mojo you have at your disposal, as you forge new alliances and bolster your connection web in the weeks ahead. Don’t know how or why you’re such an effective networker, but you are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The United States Congress spends an inordinate amount of time on trivial stuff. For example, 16 percent of all the laws passed in the last two years were about renaming post offices. That’s down from the previous eight years’ average – in that time, almost 20 percent of laws had the sole purpose of renaming post offices. In my astrological opinion, Tauruses can’t afford to indulge in that level of nonsense in the next four weeks. Keep time-wasting activities down to less than five percent of the total. Focus on getting important stuff done. Be extra thoughtful and responsible crafting your impact on the world.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What if your unconscious mind has dreamed up sparkling answers to your raging questions, but your conscious mind doesn’t know about them? Is it possible you’re not taking advantage of the sly wisdom your deeper intelligence has been making? Time to poke around in there, to take aggressive measures as you try to smoke out revelations your secret self has made. How? Remember your dreams. Notice hunches arising from nowhere. Send your unconscious mind a friendly greeting, like, “I adore you, I’m receptive and I’d love to hear what you have to say.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In his book “Our Band Could Be Your Life,” Michael Azerrad says Cancerian singer-songwriter Steve Albini is a “connoisseur of intensity.” That means he’s picky about what he regards as intense. Even the two kinds of music often regarded as the embodiment of ferocious emotion don’t cut it for Albini. Heavy metal’s comical, he says, not intense. Hardcore punk? Childish, not intense. What’s your definition of intensity? The weeks ahead are prime time to commune with the best expressions of intensity. 2012 Be a connoisseur.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The butterfly sanctuary at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory in St. Paul, Minn., is the Enchanted Garden. As you enter, you see a sign: “Please do not touch the butterflies. Let the butterflies touch you.” In other words, don’t initiate contact with the delicate creatures. Don’t pursue them or try to catch them. Instead, be available for them to land on you. Allow them to decide how and when your connection begins. Next week, adopt a similar approach to any beauty you’d like to know better. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do you fantasize about a more perfect version of you? Is there an idealized image of who you might become? It can be good, if it motivates you to improve and grow. But it may lead you to devalue the flawed but beautiful creation you are now, or harm your capacity for self-acceptance. Your assignment in the week ahead? Temporarily forget about who you may be later, and love your crazy, mysterious life just as it is. 58 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | JANUARY 23-29, 2013

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Novelist Jeffrey Eugenides says he doesn’t have generic emotions that can be described in one word. “Sadness,” “joy” and “regret” don’t happen to him. Instead, he prefers “complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions,” like “the disappointment of sleeping with one’s fantasy” or “the excitement of getting a hotel room with a mini-bar.” He delights in sensing “intimations of mortality brought on by aging family members” and “sadness inspired by failing restaurants.” In the days ahead, specialize in one-of-akind feelings like these. Exult in peculiarities! Celebrate each new wave of passion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): After analyzing your astrological omens for the weeks ahead, I think the best advice I can give is this passage by English writer G.K. Chesterton: “Of all modern notions, the worst is this: that domesticity is dull. Inside the home, they say, is dead decorum and routine; outside is adventure and variety. But the truth is that the home is the only place of liberty, the only spot on earth where a person can alter arrangements suddenly, make an experiment or indulge in a whim. The home is not the one tame place in a world of adventure; it is the one wild place in a world of set rules and set tasks.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): My general philosophy? Everyone on the planet, including me, is a jerk now and then. In fact, I’m suspicious of folks apparently so unfailingly wellbehaved, they NEVER act like jerks. On the other hand, some are jerks far too much, and should be avoided. Rule of thumb: How sizable is each person’s Jerk Quotient? If it’s below six percent, I’ll give them a chance to be in my life – especially if they’re smart and interesting. According to my astrological omen-analysis, this may be useful to remember in the weeks ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): French artist Cezanne painted images of lots of fruit in his career. He liked to take his sweet time doing so – the apples, pears and peaches that were his models often rotted before he captured their likenesses. That’s the approach for you in the days ahead. Be deliberate, gradual and leisurely in your labors of love. No rushing! With conscientious tenderness, exult in attending to every last detail of the process. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Nobody can be exactly like me. Even I have trouble doing it.” So said eccentric, outspoken and hardpartying actress Talullah Bankhead (1902-’68). Guess her astrological sign ... Aquarius! Her greatest adventure was keeping up with the unpredictable urges welling up inside her. It was challenging and fun to be as unique as she could be. She’s your role model for the next four weeks. Work extra hard at being you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Dardanelles Strait is a channel connecting the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, separating Europe from Asia. In some places, it’s less than a mile wide. The currents are fierce, so if you try to swim across at those narrow points, you’re pushed around and have to swim five or six miles. In light of current astrological omens, I predict you have a comparable challenge in the days ahead. The task may seem easier or faster than it is. Plan accordingly.

We wished each other a Merry Christmas before you left. Can’t get you off my mind. I’d like to see you again in 2013. When: Dec. 23. Where: Gate Gas Station. #1158-0102 BLUE SMURF! You: Wearing a suit, with piercing, twinkling blue eyes. Me: Coral dress with my twin. I couldn’t tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second, third or fourth.

Where: Cummer Museum. #1168-1225 DAN DEACON CONCERT @ UNDERBELLY You: Comfortably dressed, short brunette. Me: Relatively tall, wearing a beanie and a gray shirt with cats on it.

Where: Underbelly. #1167-1218 RETURNED MONEY I actually didn’t see you. When I returned from grocery shopping, you put a note in my window: “Found this by your door – guess it’s yours. Merry Christmas. :)” Inside was $40 that dropped from my pocket. Just when I thought there were no decent people left in the world, you restored my faith in humanity. Thank you. When: Dec. 8. Where: Publix @ Beach & San Pablo. #1165-1218 NY GIANT DECORATED CAR You: In a black car with 2 NY Giant decals on back window, front NY plate, NY head rest. Me: In white Hyundai Tiburon with NY front license plate cover, NY decal behind driver window. We exchanged grins of approval. Had to get to work; missed my chance. Maybe we can catch a G-men game. When: Dec. 5. Where: I-95. #1165-1211 COOL WHITE JEEP DRIVER Parked side by side at Marsh Landing Publix, did some groceries, met at the checkout lane.

Where: Riverside. #1161-1204 I HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL I was at my friend’s house playing video games in the corner like creepy kid. You stormed in, yelling. Your beauty, accent took my breath away.

Where: Winn Dixie @ Beach & St. Johns Bluff. #1157-1127 BREATHTAKING You: Manly beer salesman, mesmerized. Me: New to town, amused. You said I was “breathtaking.” I still am.

Jails Need Locks, Too?

• “Fulton Jail Will Get Working Cell Locks,” read a Dec. 19 Atlanta Journal-Constitution headline. The county commission of Atlanta finally voted to break a longstanding 3-3 tie preventing buying new jailhouse locks — while knowing inmates could jimmy the old ones at will and roam the facilities, threatening and assaulting suspects and guards. The three recalcitrant commissioners were being spiteful because a federal judge had ordered various improvements to the jail, costing $140 million so far, and the three vowed to spend no more. The 1,300 replacement locks, costing about $5 million, won’t be installed right away.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit!

• In November, Chinese fashion designer “Ms. Lv” told China Newsweek her sales had “quintupled” since her 72-yearold grandfather began modeling her clothing styles for girls. “[It’s] helping my granddaughter,” said Liu Xianping, “I’m very old … I have nothing to lose.” • Challenging Business Plans: British “medical illustrator” Emily Evans recently created eight pricy, bone china dinner plates emblazoned with microscope images of tissue slides of the human liver, thyroid, esophagus and testicles ($60 per plate, $200 for a set of four). • Leading a “jerky renaissance” is Krave, a Sonoma, Calif., company creating nontraditional flavors like turkey jerky and jerky flavored with basil citrus or lemon garlic. Krave points out jerky is rich in protein, has low calories and little fat (but, admittedly, sky-high sodium) and could be reasonably pitched as a healthy snack. However, jerky’s main obstacle (a Krave competitor’s CEO told The Wall Street Journal in September) is “jerky shame,” in which some men are mortified their girlfriends might see them enjoying jerky.

Science on the Cutting Edge

• Behold, the “McGyver” Spider: In December, biologist Phil Torres, working from Peru’s Tambopata national park, revealed he’d witnessed a tiny Cyclosa spider construct a replica of an eight-legged spider in a web of leaves, debris and dead insects. Since the real spider was found nearby, Torres hypothesized that the wily arachnid built a decoy to confuse predators.

Awe-Inspiring Animals

• A team of French researchers writing recently in the journal PLOS ONE described a species of European catfish, growing to a length of five feet, that feeds itself pigeons by lunging out of the water (“cat”-like) and snatching them, even if the leap carries it to shore. Like Argentinean killer whales, the catfish are able to remain on land for a few seconds while wriggling back into the water where they can enjoy their meal. The lead researcher said he filmed 54 catfish attacks, of which 15 were successful.

Leading Economic Indicators

62 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | JANUARY 23-29, 2013

• Another “Airline-Pricing” Model: The Jiangdu District kindergarten recognizes that providing a quality education requires supporting the child emotionally as well as helping develop reading and other skills, and toward that end,

it now requires teachers to hug each pupil twice a day — provided the parent has paid the monthly “hugging fee” of about $12.80. An education agency investigation is underway, according to a December Shanghai Daily item, but one teacher defended the trial program as boosting a child’s confidence and establishing a “good mood” for learning.

Perspective

• First-World Crisis (I): Tufts University opened America’s first animal obesity clinic at its veterinary hospital in North Grafton, Mass., in September, offering nutrition information and helping owners develop weight-loss regimens for pets. Vets told the Tufts Daily newspaper untreated pet obesity can lead to pancreatitis, joint disorders and skin disease. One of its first clients was a golden retriever (a breed known for its desire to run and its adaptability to non-running lifestyles), who now requires $90 prescription dog food, though the owner reports his best friend has lost eight pounds, almost halfway to his goal of 87. • First-World Crisis (II): Researchers writing in the journal Urology’s December issue reported a “five-fold increase” over 10 years in emergency room visits for accidents caused by pubic-hair “grooming.” Unsurprisingly, 83 percent of all injuries appeared to be shaving accidents, but only 56 percent of the patients were women, according to a research summary on MedicalXPress.com.

Least Competent Criminals

• Demarco Thomas, 30, was arrested in Tucson, Ariz., in November, as a drug courier for what the Arizona Daily Star called a “local cartel,” after Thomas himself called police a day earlier. Thomas feared a cartel whacking because he’d come up $20,000 short in his last delivery. According to police, Thomas brought suitcases of money from North Carolina to his Tucson contact, except for a little bit he’d somehow “misplaced.” A police search of Thomas revealed almost $20,000 on his person, and Thomas, about to be arrested, allegedly asked officers if they’d please write a note to the cartel informing them police had merely seized the $20,000 — and not that Thomas had tried to steal it. They declined.

Readers’ Choice

• Unlucky Gary Haines, 59, was arrested in December in Charlotte County, Fla., after he was spotted stealing a trailer by hitching it to his own truck and driving off. The “spotter” was the trailer’s owner, David Zehntner, out flying in his private plane, who happened to be passing over his property at the moment Haines was hitching up. He easily followed Haines from above and called in Haines’ destination to police. • Jason DeJesus, 36, and Chanelle Troedson, 33, who share an upscale 4,600-square-foot home (with pool and courts for tennis and beach volleyball) in Morgan Hill, Calif., were arrested in December, charged with luring a 50-year-old handyman to their home, forcibly detaining him, and requiring him to make various repairs over a six-hour period, before he managed to escape and notify police.

Insight About Those with Asperger’s Syndrome

Their brains are literally ‘wired’ differently but not predisposed to violence

s civilized beings, it is our mission to study death and destruction, disaster and terror. It is our duty to ask, “What went wrong? And how can we prevent this from happening again?” But this is also the way we distract ourselves from the unthinkable: images of mourning mothers and fathers in Newtown, Conn.; tiny coffins; and the deep, tugging grief that threatens to engulf us. “It could have been my child” are the words we leave unspoken. Faced with an unpredictable and ultimately uncontrollable act of evil, we want to do something. We Americans, wholeheartedly and with gusto, press on for answers born of policy. Gun-control activists line up on the left, NRA activists line up on the right and the vigorous do-si-do of politics commences. Some of us simply will not participate. “They’re saying,” my fellow mother-advocate told me Dec. 14, “that the gunman had Asperger’s Syndrome.” At that moment, we both joined the chorus of mental health activists and autism advocates to beg a nation, “Please. Stop dancing.” Social media has amplified our cry and has aided our mission to prevent our children from being maligned as monsters. Sanjay Gupta, the eminent neurosurgeon, tweeted on Dec. 15, “Something that should be clarified. There is no evidence of a link between autism and planned violent behavior. #Newtown.” The violent tantrums of children and adults who possess little or no language skills due to the severity of their autism are vastly different from planned attacks. As of this writing, no medical report has confirmed that the young man responsible for the Newtown tragedy had Asperger’s Syndrome. Regardless of whether he did or not, though, we might never know what other disorders may have affected him, including any one of the dreaded, still-mysterious forms of schizophrenia that strike too many people in his age group. But insight about Asperger’s Syndrome may nevertheless be useful when thinking about other people who are excluded from society, those who are pushed to the margins of our social order because of mental conditions or illnesses. We know that people who have Asperger’s Syndrome, an autism spectrum subcategory, are more predisposed to depression. We know from functional magnetic resonance imaging that the brains of people with Asperger’s are literally “wired” differently. The complex science of nonverbal cues, social subtlety and ease can be very mysterious to Aspies. As Mr. Spock of “Star Trek” might say, “It’s simply not logical.” Most of us take for granted the lighter, unspoken forms of communication. A particular look in our

eyes, or the nearly imperceptible shrug of the shoulders — these messages often exclude those with fewer social skills or different brain architectures. Exclusion and isolation, in turn, deny the left-out individual important and badly needed opportunities to develop social skills. And the cycle, if not interrupted, continues. Imagine the difficulty of learning what the rest of the world seems to be born with, or the frustration of knowing you made a social error, but being mystified as to how or why. The failure in communication, though, the failure to connect, cannot be blamed on a disorder. Connecting is a two-way street: Those of us who are able must reach further. We know that what seems to be communicative “instinct” can, to an extent, be deconstructed and taught. We have the promise of science on our side, and have much work to do to fill in the blanks — to help “translate” — for people who differ in their thought processes, in their perceptions of the world, and, thus, in their reactions to others. It is the job of those of us who can to invite those with difficulty to join us, as our equals, in the covenant that we are all still writing. Society is still very much a work in progress, after all. The normal, “neuro-typical” world is filled with all sorts of evils not specified in our lists of disorders: greedy bastard disease, warmongering personality disorder, false-hierarchical superiority complexes, poverty-blindness and, perhaps the most havoc-wreaking of them all, plain ignorance. Our job is not to “fix” people with different brain architectures and make them conform to our often very sick world. Our job is, rather, to serve them as they seek health, in order that they may take their rightful, peaceful and productive places in the fabric of our everevolving, ever-improving society. It’s easier said than done. But it begins with inclusion. It begins with withholding judgment, with preventing our own fear-born mental schemas from becoming full-blown prejudice — the type that names the “other” and exiles him from society. We must make the fine distinction between “evil” and mentally different, or mentally ill. Mental conditions are no more evil, in and of themselves, than cancer or diabetes. But illnesses can give rise to confusion, frustration, loneliness, heartbreak and despair — poisons that sometimes feed evil acts. Enter that covenant of civilization — the urge to do something to alleviate human suffering. Good people can and do prevent evil acts every day. Airline security personnel in Germany detected bombs in ingeniously hidden places — a victory in one

battle in the war on terror. A brave and diligent Jacksonville police officer recently prevented a disturbed man from committing murder. A hotline counselor encourages a suicidal youngster to live for another day, perhaps as you are reading this essay. And somewhere today, a teacher is interrupting a student’s futile depression over past failures, showing him, “Yes, you can.” Science has not ascertained with precision the point at which unhealed grief, untreated depression, unmitigated despair or un-redressed frustration teeters over the brink into fullblown dissociative psychosis. Just how much can the human mind withstand — particularly at the tender age of young adulthood — before it snaps? How many dead dreams, how many broken promises, how many shattered relationships does it take before a person trades in a seemingly broken external reality for one that makes sense to the now-faithless voices in his head? Genes may eventually clue us in as to who among us may be more predisposed to go over that brink. But imagination leaves room for the possibility that, but for the grace of God, given intolerable circumstances and/or insufficient coping tools, any one of us might be vulnerable to the perils of mental illness. “Maybe I’m a dreamer,” humor columnist Andy Boworitz tweeted on Dec. 14, “but I wish mental health care were as easy to get as, say, a gun.” The comedian, of course, was not joking. We absolutely need better policies regarding availability for treatment of mental conditions and illnesses. But can policy solve all our problems? “The ultimate fate of any society,” according to writer Shelton Hull, “does not rest on governments, churches, corporations or any other abstract, narrowly focused control system, but rather on the character of individual citizens.” To the extent that political solutions are aimed at feeding the illusion that humans can somehow control the evil acts of others, they will fail. The “policy” that may matter most is the overarching covenant of the ages — to see oneself refracted in the wounded eyes of others and to reach out to serve them; to do something to help alleviate another’s suffering or alienation, wherever one can, as one is called to do. What’s your policy? Julie Delegal

Delegal writes with deepest sympathy for the families of the “angels” now crowding “the streets of Heaven,” as Gupta called them. May the peace that passes all understanding be with those families, now and always.
