one from the EEOC: “The EEOC’s allegations of age discrimination against the Maui Police Department are false. The County of Maui has a policy against discrimination on the basis of age, which is followed by MPD. In fact, MPD has hired a number of applicants over the age of 40 as police officers, including applicants older than Lars Sandstrom.

“The County is confident that it will prevail in this matter, and the EEOC’s allegations will be determined to be without merit.”

Of course, there’s another possibility that explains why Sandstrom never got to fulfill his dream of wearing an Maui PD badge: he’s too smart. Robert Jordan found out back in 1996 that police departments sometimes exclude applicants who score too well on entrance exams.

“Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125,” ABC News reported on Sept. 8, 2000. “But New London [Conn.] police

Bravo, Maui County Council. No one else on this island can keep us on our toes the way you can. Just when we think we know what they’re going decide, they go and flip around 180 degrees.

For weeks now, members like Mike White and Elle Cochran have been broadcasting all kinds of complaints about the proposed land sale involving 186 acres of West Maui land that Mayor Alan Arakawa says is vital to bring to life his dream of a Pali-to-Puamana Park. Makila Land Co. (Peter Martin, Jim Riley and Glenn Tremble, according to state business registration filings) wants $13 million for the property–a figure that Arakawa said was $3 million lower than Makila’s original asking price.

Others–okay, mostly White–practically spit up their lunches when told of the proposed sale figure (as well as the landowner’s Dec. 31 deadline).

“The concerns are not with negotiations, but rather the administration substantially misrepresenting the market value of the Launiupoko lands by manipulating the appraisal process and being less than honest with the council,” White said in a Dec. 1 op-ed piece in The Maui News. “The council should have been presented with an unbiased market value appraisal along with the seller’s price demand. If the market value was significantly less than what the sellers were asking, the council could have decided to condemn the property rather than agree to the higher price.”

When White ended up getting new appraisals valuing the land at less than $10 million (some of the parcels are, according to Makila, “undevelopable”), many people probably figured the whole deal was dead. But predicting the actions of any council member–and especially White–is exceedingly difficult.

See, on Dec. 20, White and all of his colleagues on the council (save Gladys Baisa, who was excused) suddenly

voted to approve giving Makila $13 million for the land. Just like that–Makila and Arakawa won. As for those other appraisals and White’s concerns about how the administration had handled the deal (which ended up amounting to compelling reasons to question the deal)? Apparently they ended up getting tossed into the trash.

“This is a holiday miracle,” administration spokesman Rod Antone said in the Dec. 21 Maui News.

As for why White suddenly turned tail, The Maui News reported that his support for having all that land in county hands (where it will be vital if sea level rise from climate change continues to erode away at Honoapi‘ilani Highway) won over his “own feelings” about the deal process.

Here’s an excerpt from an EEOC press release I received on Dec. 18: “According to the EEOC’s suit, Lars Sandstrom applied for the position of police officer in 2009, met all of the minimum qualifications for the position and passed the qualifying written exam. Sandstrom also had a bachelor’s degree and extensive military and life experience which qualified him for the position. The EEOC contends that during the job interview, assumptions were made about Sandstrom’s abilities given his age of 45 at the time, including the comment that, “I doubt someone your age could handle the stress of training.”

Sandstrom was thereafter not selected for the position. An EEOC investigation found that several other less qualified candidates were hired as police officers during the time in question. Nonetheless, Sandstrom was able to secure employment as a police officer at another police department.”

WANNABE COP SUES COUNTY OF MAUI So it looks like the County of Maui is back in court over actions of the Maui Police Department. And it’s not just anyone filing the suit, either–it’s the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and they’re hopping mad because they say the Maui PD unfairly discriminated against a 45-yearold who wanted to join their ranks.

If this guy can become a cop...

Needless to say, the County of Maui disputes these assertions. Here’s a quote from Maui County Corporation Counsel Patrick Wong that appeared in a Dec. 18 press release sent out a few hours after the

Overheard “That woman was crazy!

That woman was crazy!”

-Kid at the Grand Wailea, Dec. 18

interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training.”

According to the ABC News report, the U.S. District Court in New York found that kind of discrimination completely legal.

(Disclosures: MauiTime Publisher Tommy Russo is currently suing the County of Maui in federal court over alleged assault committed by Maui Police Officer Nelson Johnson (who is himself being prosecuted by the State of Hawaii for allegedly assaulting his teenage daughter). The State of Hawaii is also currently prosecuting Russo for attempting to film Maui police officers during the department’s Operation Recon in November 2012.) ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro For more news articles, visit our news blog at: mauifeed.com

An additional goal of the event is to encourage participants to engage in traditional Hawaiian cultural practices–many of which depend upon natural resources–with the overall goal of becoming better stewards of the land.

The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Pacific Islands Climate Science Center (CSC) has tapped David Helweg as the organization’s first permanent director. The center–headquartered at the University of Hawaii, Manoa–is one of eight regional DOI Climate Science Centers established and managed by the U.S. Geological Survey to provide federal, state and local land managers access to the best science available on climate change.

“With the Pacific Islands already at the leading edge of many climate-related challenges, the breadth and depth of Dr. Helweg’s background is a perfect match for helping the Center achieve its goal of providing scientific information to help land managers, policy makers and citizens effectively respond to climate change,” said USGS Acting Director Suzette Kimball.

The regional climate change chal-

lenges for the Pacific Island communities currently include coral reef health; freshwater resources; ecosystem restoration; fish and wildlife response to climate change; sea-level rise and coastal erosion; invasive species; and marine and coastal resilience.

Helweg comes to Pacific Islands CSC from his post as deputy director of the USGS Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center, a position he held for more than a decade. Before joining the USGS, he held posts at the U.S. Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in San Diego and the University of Auckland in New Zealand. He’s considered an expert in ecology, behavioral biology, bioacoustics and signal processing.

Maui Nui Botanical Gardens will also hold a Native Hawaiian plant sale during the event. In addition, there will be food, games and family entertainment.

The six-acre Maui Nui Botanical Gardens is the only botanical garden in the state that focuses on Hawaiian coastal plants from the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kaho‘olawe and Molokini.

It’s operated and managed by Maui Nui Botanical Gardens, Inc., a non-profit organization established in 1995. Their mission is to foster appreciation and understanding of Maui Nui’s plants and their role in Hawaiian cultural expression by providing a gathering place for discovery, education and conservation.

News Of The Weird NUCLEAR TRACTOR PULL Edward Teller, the famous theoretical physicist known as the “father of the hydrogen bomb” for his work on the World War II-era Manhattan Project, died in 2003, but his daughter Rene told The Free Press of Kinston, N.C., in November that she had recently discovered two of her father’s precious mementos at a thrift shop near Kinston during a road trip to visit relatives. “[Father’s] work was so demanding” she said, that he needed “recreational activities” and tried “the things you’d suspect,” like chess. However, the two mementos were awards Teller had won at tractor pull competitions. “He’d show up at major tractor pulls” riding just a Cub Cadet mower, Rene said, and “leave the competition in the dust.” Teller’s secret, she said, was using “nuclear fusion-based engines,” which sponsors ultimately had to ban.)

Seven years ago, Michael Spann, now 29, suddenly doubled over in pain that felt like he “got hit in the head with a sledgehammer,” and began crying blood.

Despite consulting doctors, including two visits with extensive lab work at the venerable Cleveland Clinic, the Antioch, Tenn., man told Nashville’s The Tennessean in October that he is resigned to an “idiopathic condition”–a disease without apparent cause. Spann’s main wish now is just to hold a job, in that fellow workers, and customers, tend not to react well to a man bleeding from the eyes (even though his once-daily episodes have become more sporadic).

THE KINGDOM

Japan’s “cat cafes” allow the pet-starved to relax while dining by caressing house kittens that roam the facilities, but similar eateries have opened recently featuring owls (the Fukurou Sabou in Tokyo, Owl Family in Osaka). The owls are not caressable and easily spooked by excessive noise.

And Liu Pengfei’s Five Loaves and Two Fish restaurant in Fuzhou, China, is losing money rapidly despite overflow dining crowds, according to a December China Daily report, because he allows customers to pay only what they wish. They must also wash out their bowls. “I want to continue,” he said, “as I believe the feeling of trust is contagious.”

The sex life of the anglerfish, according to a Wired.com interview in November with evolutionary biologist Theodore Pietsch, is as dismal as any on planet Earth.

According to Wired: “Boy meets girl, boy bites girl, boy’s mouth fuses to girl’s body, boy lives the rest of his life attached to girl, sharing her blood and supplying her with sperm.” Only 1 percent of males ever hook up with females (because the ocean floor is dark), said Pietsch. The rest starve to death as virgins.

It may be a cliche of domestic conflict, but physicists recently, earnestly, tackled the dynamics of toilet bowl “splash back.” A stream delivered by a standing male, because it travels five times farther than a seated male’s, produces a splash easily reaching seat and floor–even without factoring in the “well-known” Plateau-Rayleigh instability–the inevitable disintegration of a liquid stream “six or seven inches” after its formation. Short of recommending that men be seated, the researchers (speaking to a November conference) suggest “narrowing the angle” by “standing slightly to one side and aiming downwards at a low angle of impact.”

THE HUMAN-RODENT CONNECTION University of British Columbia researchers, intent on judging whether blocking dopamine D4 receptors can reduce the urge to gamble in subjects other than humans, claimed in October to have devised a test that works on the dopamine receptors of rats–especially those with a gambling problem. With a slot machinelike device dispensing sugar pellets, the

researchers claimed they offered rats measured risks and even determined that rats are more likely to take risks immediately following a close loss (as are humans).

CRICKET SEX Professor Pietsch may know his anglerfish, but Marlene Zuk of the University of Minnesota knows her insects, including the mating mechanics of damselflies, crickets and cockroaches, which she described for The New York Times in November.

The damselfly male’s penis is a Swiss Army knife-like contraption (necessary to access the female’s well-hidden eggs). The cricket easily produces sperm, but then awaits its draining through a “long stem” “for several minutes” to achieve fertilization. Cockroaches, Professor Zuk wrote, mate by “blind trust” as they hook up back-to-back and, with no neck, cannot even glance over a shoulder to check on their work.

THE ELEPHANT WHISPERER Nirmala Toppo, 14, is apparently the one to call if wild elephants overrun your village, especially in India’s Orissa and Jharkhand states, which are still home to hundreds of marauding pachyderms. Her latest pied-piper act, in June, emptied a herd of 11 out of the industrial city of Rourkela. Said Toppo: “First I pray and then talk to the herd. I tell them this is not your home. You should return where you belong.” Somehow, the elephants followed her for miles away from the town, according to an October BBC News dispatch. ■

h dog catcher: That dog you got at the grocery store parking lot and took to the pound was a service dog. The way you acted was so disgusting that I can’t believe they hire people like you. You came across a man with a disability and you showed him no respect. I know, someone from the store called you, saying that a dog was barking and was tied up to a shopping cart railing and had no water. I’d get upset about that, too, but you did nothing to find out what was really going on. The dog’s owner was disabled, and had owned that dog for years. I know for a fact that on the morning in question the dog had a big breakfast and plenty of water to drink. He was barking because he got tangled up, but his owner was coming right back, as he always does. You didn’t want to hear any of that. And when the owner finally did get back, and he tried to talk to you, you said you didn’t care. Well, here’s something that I care about: the dog’s name was Smitty, and his owner misses him every day. ■

Hanabusa to the seat. Schatz’s appointment means a whole bunch of people across the state get to move up: Maui Senator Shan Tsutsui gets the Lt. Governor slot, and then Representative Gil Keith-Agaran gets Tsutsui’s Senate seat. To replace Keith-Agaran in the House’s Kahului seat, Abercrombie then appoints political newcomer Justin Woodson. As the Sheraton Maui Resort celebrates 50 years at Black Rock in Ka‘anapali, Maui Police announce that it’s still illegal for people to carry signs during the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade. A few marchers carry signs anyway, but police ignore them. Meanwhile, researchers from the US Geological Survey and University of Hawaii announce that climate change will probably doom the Haleakala silversword.

MauiTime Publisher Tommy Russo pleads not guilty to “obstructing a govt. operation” when he was arrested photographing Maui police officers during the department’s Nov. 20, 2012 “Operation Recon.” Speaking of violating civil liberties, state Senator J.

JANUARY

et’s call 2013 the Year of Ends. Ex-National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden, who is now in exile in Russia after fleeing Hawaii with millions of secret documents, ended any feeling we had that the Obama Administration cared more about civil liberties than his predecessors. South African President Nelson Mandela’s death brought an end to a time when people actually seemed to like a world leader. The dark but popular television shows Breaking Bad and Dexter came to an end, giving vast numbers of Americans new reasons to turn off the tube.

This was the year all of America got to argue if Paula Deen’s tongue brought down her culinary empire, and whether some putz in Florida named George Zimmerman was right to kill another young man named Trayvon Martin. This was the year two brothers packed explosives into pressure cookers and went on a rampage at the Boston Marathon, eventually killing four and injuring hundreds of others while turning that city upside down.

All of that seems far removed from Maui’s shores, but that doesn’t mean nothing happened here. We had plenty of strange, unsettling events as well–too many, really, to recall in a space like this. But here are some of the highlights, and lowlights, that marked the year 2013.

Senator English’s so-called Steven Tyler Act sails through the Senate with virtually no opposition.

Also, cops statewide get a monster raise. Former Vice President Al Gore briefly makes news when endorses Senator Schatz in his 2014 election bid. Maui County Councilman Mike White then goes crazy and proposes a bill that would ban nepotism in the County of Maui. On a scarier note, University of Hawaii researchers determine that sewage flowing from the Lahaina Wastewater Reclamation Facility is making its way to Kahekili Beach in Ka‘anapali. Then the Hawaii Supreme Court rules that the Maui County Council’s Land Use Committee violated the state’s Sunshine Law back in 2007 and the Council itself in 2008 over the proposed Honuaula project.

Given the County Council’s long history of bad-mouthing the state Open Meetings Law, few are surprised. The Council then votes to hire Lance Taguchi as the county’s first ever auditor.

State regulators, after deliberations, revoke mortgage broker Tricia Morris’ licenses. Beloved local curmudgeon Arsene “Blackie” Gadarian of Lahaina passes away at the age of 91.

Others, like Joan McIntyre, one of the original save-the-whales activists from the 1960s who today lives on Lanai, tells me that it’s far too early to say whether humpbacks are in the clear. “Delisting the humpbacks may well open the way to renewed hunting,” she said. “This is not the time to rush.” State regulators issue a cease and desist order on famous Maui mortgage broker Tricia Morris for all manner of alleged violations of state law, including “Receiving payoffs of mortgage loans and not remitting the payoff amounts to the lenders.” The agony that is the dismantling of the old Wailuku Main Street Association (WMSA)–riddled with accusations and allegations of corruption stemming from an exhaustive state Attorney General’s office investigation–finally nears the end when Deputy Attor-

Then suddenly this month she got herself appointed to the U.S. Energy Security Council. Of course, then she promptly disappears again. MauiTime Publisher Tommy Russo files a lawsuit in federal court against the County of Maui over Maui Police Officer Nelson Johnson’s actions–basically alleged assault– during the Dog The Bounty Hunter incident back in April 2011. As it’s wont to do, North Korea starts throwing around bluster about burning the world, and newly elected Congress member Tulsi Gabbard, D–Hawaii, talks up war. Then some guy shoots up the Maui Country

Tulsi Gabbard, who commands a military police company in the Hawaii Army National Guard besides representing much of the state in Congress, blasts Pentagon brass hats for insisting that commanders retain authority over whether alleged sexual assaults within their commands are investigated. Did someone mention civil liberties again? The ACLU’s Hawaii office sues over the County of Maui’s prohibition against carrying a sign on public streets. On the more international issue of drones firing missiles at alleged terrorists (be they foreigners or American citizens), Senator Hirono is kinda against it, while Representative Colleen Hanabusa (who really, really wants Senator Schatz’s job) is all for deploying “more Unmanned Systems in support of ongoing civil, military, and law enforcement operations.” Honolulu Weekly goes out of business after 23 years of publishing, leaving MauiTime the only alt-weekly in the state of Hawaii. Kiss band members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley announce that their mediocre Rock & Brews restaurant chain will remodel the old Jacques location in Paia. And because they say it’ll cost them less than half a million bucks to completely change that spot into their restaurant, the county Planning Department says they don’t need a Special Management Area (SMA) permit. Locals, including Maui Tomorrow, cry fowl and file suit, but when guys from a powerful, cynical band like Kiss want to open a cynical “theme” restaurant that mixes corporate rock music with fried foods,

who are we to say to no? Oh, and the Maui County Council vows to get to the bottom of the “scandal” that is the demolishing of the old Wailuku Post Office, even though Mayor Arakawa’s people briefed the council, informally and formally, over the course of a year. Finally taking Deputy AG Jones’ advice from last month, all WMSA board members–including Chairman Tom “Loose” Cannon–resign.

Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa announces that the county will close its recycling centers. Residents protest, and three days later Arakawa announces (to “dispel rumors”) that the centers will stay open. State Senator Clayton Hee starts hacking away at the Reporter’s Shield Law, which protects journalists from having their asses dragged into court to give up secret sources. Somehow, bills legalizing cannabis stay alive in the Legislature.

The Legislature finally approves a $20 million bond to buy Lipoa Point.

Then Maui Family Court Judge Mimi Des Jardins suddenly resigns on the day she’s charged with writing false times on probable cause documents on defendants who should have been released from jail. It’s a serious breach of trust, but she’s allowed to go quietly into private life.

On that whole open meetings smackdown from the state Supreme Court from last month, Council chairwoman Gladys Baisa sends out a press release saying exactly the opposite.

Governor Abercrombie learns that Perry Artates of Makawao, who has a seat on the state Hawaiian Homelands Commission, just pleaded guilty to fraud charges.

Abercrombie immediately asks for Artates to resign, which he does. Visitor Jana Lutteropp, 20, of Germany, is bitten by a shark in South Maui waters and dies a week later–the first shark bite fatality on Maui in about a decade.

Meanwhile, Maui Police Officer Nelson Johnson–the same cop who allegedly assaulted MauiTime Publisher Tommy Russo back in April 2011–gets arrested by his own department for allegedly assaulting his teenage daughter. Former Councilman Joe Pontanilla, who’s been gathering dust in Arakawa’s office, says he wants his old job back. Former Councilman Mike Molina, jumps in too. Danny Mateo, also with Arakawa’s office, first feints toward running for his old seat, then grabs the County Clerk’s job.

After days and days of testimony, the state House passes SB1, and the state Senate quickly follows. Abercrombie then signs it into law, but not before Maui residents learn that Democratic Representatives Mele Carroll (who’s no stranger to the words “campaign spending violation”) and Justin Woodson don’t believe that same-sex couples have a right to get married. Also, to no one’s surprise, State of Hawaii Organization of Police Officers (SHOPO) boss Tenari Maalfala proves to be a complete lout by telling House committee members that he’d refuse to enforce SB1 if it passes.

SEPTEMBER Ending a trauma years in the making, the once proud civic organization known as Wailuku Main Street Association finally dissolves. After two decades, tech genius Rusty Conway leaves the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. In response to many media requests–including one from yours truly–the FBI releases voluminous files on late Senator Daniel Inouye. Most of material is routine, but some is sensational. For instance, the files show that in 1989, the FBI conducted a very cursory investigation of an anonymous tip that Inouye had taken a “suitcase full of cash” from Matson Navigation–a longtime friend of the

A Mokulele Airlines Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, en route from Kahului to Hawaii Island, makes an unscheduled landing on Pi‘ilani Highway in Wailea after the pilot reports engine trouble. Incredibly, no one is injured and the plane suffers only light damage (though the plane’s owners eventually remove the wings so they can haul the craft back to Kahului Airport). Abercrombie calls the Legislature into Special Session to deal with same-sex marriage.

Souki predicts the bill (SB1) will pass, but religious groups across the state prepare for a major battle. One typical written comment opposing SB1 says, “If you allow this bill to pass you and your cohorts are committing treason against the people of Hawaii.” Near the end of the month, the Maui PD mobilizes huge numbers of cops for Hallowee in Lahaina, predicting that “35,000” people will show. Actually just 28,000 people–the same as last year– appear, and the cops arrest just 11 people.

Local 3 Operating Engineers? They both make return appearances in a crazy lawsuit made public this month that included well-known legal terms like “Yakuza,” “triads” and “Hells Angels.” Stretching their argument over the Wailuku Post Office demolition into a full-fledged feud, Arakawa and Mike White hunt around for new things to argue about and decide on the mayor’s proposed purchase of 186 acres of West Maui land from Makila Land Co. for $13 million. Arakawa wants it, White says he can get it cheaper, and Makila tells them both to sign by Dec. 31 on the $13

her bid to unseat incumbent U.S. Senator Schatz. The County Planning Commission approves Gene Simmons’ and Paul Stanley’s Rock and Brews as though locals never raised any issues over their not having to go through a full SMA permit process. State officials, including Abercrombie, show up in Lahaina for the grand opening of Phase Two of the Great Lahaina Bypass Road. The road’s total driveable length so far: 2.5 miles. And, as though all of that isn’t enough, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sues the County of Maui in U.S. District Court alleging that it unfairly discriminated against a guy named Lars Sandstrom, who says the county didn’t hire him as a cop because of he was 45 when he applied. The County immediately responds, saying that the MPD has hired plenty of guys “older than Lars Sandstrom” and that the County “will prevail in this matter.” And that big West Maui land deal Arakawa wanted? The County Council unanimously approves it.

ocal people love to eat. It’s a big part of our culture on Maui, and the restaurant industry sustains a lot of households. Whether it’s a big celebrity chef driven establishment or a small mom and pop place, a new spot to eat is cause for celebration.

Of course, that also means the industry has a lot of up and downs. For many

business owners on Maui, that magical combination of what makes a restaurant successful and keeps it doors open remains an elusive equation. We see a lot of doors open, and unfortunately close, every year.

Maui is usually a year or two behind in Mainland trends. I always feel like that separation gives us a chance to decide whether it’s cool enough to make it here.

Our remote location also gives trendsetters a good lead on being different before stuff catches on. This year the pork belly craze continued, and the rise of the slider and flatbread continues unabated. Burgers are hot–the modest hand-patted beef sandwich of old is now the crown jewel of specialty burger restaurants and stands that

offer lots of toppings, gourmet beef and bakery-fresh buns.

Local food manufacturing here is increasing with specialty products from locally grown crops lining store shelves. Creative Maui products like honey, candy, spiced nuts, salad dressings, jams, jellies and spices are among the sought-out and coveted items.

Film

by Barry Wurst II

Best Of The Wurst Remembering 2013’s greatest films urgency and bravado as the film itself.

6. The Wolf of Wall Street Martin Scorsese, now 71, somehow got an American studio to fund his $100 million, sexually explicit American epic about our insatiable attraction to self-destructive millionaires. The work from Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Jonah Hill and Rob Reiner is outstanding and so is Scorsese’s ability to keep us glued to a remarkably raunchy but enormously entertaining cautionary tale on the perils of excess.

7. Side Effects Most audiences missed Steven Soderbergh’s shocking thriller, which came and went without much fanfare in January. If you know nothing about it, good– you’re the perfect person to see this. If you love suspense and jaw-dropping plot twists, seek this one out. One of Soderbergh’s best, it showcases a terrific performance by Rooney Mara.

Wow, I can see my car from here

8. The Grandmaster 1. To the Wonder Picking your favorite movie of the year is kind of like falling in love. You know you’re crazy about it, don’t care what others think but hope they meet your choice with approval. There were some great movies in 2013, but the one I loved the most was Terrence Malick’s bittersweet love story. Ben Affleck stars as an introverted Man’s Man, unable to fully give himself emotionally to his new bride, a French single mother (Olga Kurylenko, in one of the year’s best performances). The return of a long lost love (Rachel McAdams, who’s devastating) only complicates matters. It’s challenging, like Malick’s other films, as there’s little dialogue and the camera lingers on visual wonders and gorgeous landscapes more than the loose story.

This is pure cinema, a treasure chest of dreamlike imagery, sublime music and cinematography, emotionally raw performances and thoughtful explorations of love and faith. It divided audiences and critics but in years to come, I believe this will stand as one of Malick’s most personal, haunting and artistically rich experiments. It moved me deeply and I hope adventurous filmgoers will seek it out.

2. Dallas Buyers Club Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto give acting turns that will stun and exhilarate their longtime fans. This look at the early days of HIV awareness and treatment is surprisingly hilarious and never remotely sentimental. It’s edgy, crowd-pleasing and daring; at the same time, the movie avoids being preachy

or political. Instead, it finds the human center of the characters by showing them at their most unguarded, complex and messiest.

Wong Kar Wai’s hypnotic film creates a sensual swirl of imagery that

seduces its audience. Portraying the life of Ip Man, the martial arts master who later became Bruce Lee’s teacher, Tony Leung’s imposing charisma carries the film, which alternates between re-telling China’s 20th century history with incredible action sequences. A kung fu art movie, it stands as one of the most ambitious in its genre–a romantic, rapturous, flying kick of an epic, comparable to Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

9. Fruitvale Station This soulful, compassionate film manages to take a horrible, sensationalist news story and make it a down-to-earth character piece. Octavia Spencer’s utterly naturalistic performance is piercing and so is the ending, which will remind many of Do the Right Thing.

10. Monsters University A big comeback for Pixar, no movie made me laugh harder all year. It has all the heart and humor you expect in a comedy about never underestimating the underdog. If Pixar wants to take another step back and cast Billy Crystal and John Goodman in Monsters Kindergarten , I’m there. ■

3. Gravity Few films in recent years have given audiences this much awe. As a human drama, it’s a gut-wrenching survival tale with Sandra Bullock in a career-best performance. As a way of taking audiences somewhere they’ve never been before and making outer space more scarily vivid than it’s been in previous films, Alfonso Cuaron uses special effects masterfully, not to create CGI distractions, but as a storytelling tool.

4. Before Sunrise The third, and best so far, in Richard Linklater’s series of films about a Gen-X couple (the wonderful pairing of Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) contemplating just how far they want to take their attraction towards one another. This one is funnier and sexier than the others and concludes in a way both fittingly openended and totally satisfying. For romantics in search of something meatier than Must Love Dogs, here’s a date movie that knows how wonderful (and how much work) a committed relationship can be.

5. Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom This film exudes the same kind of exhilarating energy, passionate filmmaking and ability to keep audiences riveted as Spike Lee’s Malcolm X . Idris Elba portrays Nelson Mandela’s remarkable evolution, from trial lawyer to imprisoned opposition leader, with the same

Horoscope

Sign Language CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

When your goose starts laying golden eggs, it changes everything. Before, you’d think of it as a source of the occasional breakfast omelet, and eventually, a delicious holiday dinner. But afterwards, you’re suddenly aware of just how special and precious it is, and start treating it differently (providing it with special nesting material and organic feed). That attitude shift is acceptable regarding a goose, but if you change the way you treat a person based on what they give you, you’ll seem like big ol’ ‘ho. Your best bet: Treat everyone as if they might someday be laying golden eggs in your honor. Then if they ever do, you’ll be all set.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

You might as well eat chocolate cake for breakfast. It’s another one of those weeks in which, as Robert Burns wrote, “the best laid plans of mice and men go oft astray.” So why bother clinging too strongly to them? Go with what feels good for once, since doing what you “should” will most likely not only go wrong, but cause you aggravation, as well. By next week you’ll be able to return to manifesting your most noble intentions and well-reasoned plots, but for now, help yourself to a hefty slice of triple-fudge and a mound of whipped cream and call it a hearty first meal of the day.

accomplishment than rinsing just one or two—especially since the added work of ridding them of crusted, caked leftover food makes it harder. Likewise, it’s more satisfying to sweep up a huge pile of crud and pet hair than the paltry wisps you’d get if you did it daily. However, don’t take this pattern to unhealthy extremes, where your dust bunnies develop sentience and rebel, and your filthy plates cultivate a mutant strain of bubonic plague. A number of neglected duties teeter on the verge of tumbling over this precipice of angst. Take care of them.

QUIZ understood 1: D–$10 million 2: E–cause remains undetermined 3: B–First American woman to walk in space

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

History repeats itself. But each rotation around the cosmic wheel is changed by expanding and escalating technology. On a different plane, personal history also repeats itself. This history may be less immediately or obviously affected by things like the Internet or smallpox vaccines (although naturally these are important influences as well) then by advances in spiritual technology—in other words, shifts in perspective and attitude. As you review familiar landscapes and themes this week, don’t duplicate past chapters.

Even though the present may seem eerily similar to what’s happened before, your reactions don’t have to be. Consciously change them, and things will almost certainly work out better than last time.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

The swampland only seems to go on forever.

You’ve been plodding miserably through hipdeep bog for weeks now, with a two-ton safe strapped to your back and a person under each arm, and actually making respectable progress despite these considerable impediments. But this week, you’re Popeye out of spinach. That prodigious strength may drain unexpectedly from your limbs, leaving you, your valuables, and your buddies in the lurch—except for the beautiful and fortuitous fact that you’re likely to find firm, dry land again, right around the same time. So don’t freak about the sudden diminution of your might.

It just means you can put your burdens down, stop slogging, and start sprinting.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Once a year in January, back when I lived in San Francisco, my friends and I would spend a whole day collecting discarded Christmas trees, tying them to the roofs of our cars or stacking them in our pickup trucks. That night, we’d have a huge, crackly bonfire on the beach, and party into the wee hours. It was always fun and wild and magical, as if all the complex Xmas memories those trees were witness to curled into the air and our lungs on fragrant smoke. This week, take inspiration from that image, as you salvage other people’s discarded dreams and transform them into powerful and amazing moments of your own.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Sitting pretty on your throne of blessings and abundance, you might not feel inclined to take risks. Why bother? You’re all set, and you’ve traditionally ascribed to the philosophy of not fixing what isn’t broken. But please consider: Is it really better to take chances when you’re down and out, and each failure will really hurt? Sure, no one will blame you for just relaxing and enjoying what you have. But I wouldn’t recommend waiting to play roulette until you really need to win at it. Imperil your comfort zone, while you have one, so you won’t have to take risks when every fall will kill.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Shit happens. You know this, but this week who or what it happens to may make it seem more important or devastating than usual. For instance, scratching the paint on a brand-new Jaguar is more horrible than scuffing an ancient Rabbit. I’m here to remind you that these are arbitrary distinctions. Yes, it sucks, but since there’s nothing you can do about it, why make it worse by working yourself up into a fearsome state of agitation? These are little things in the grand scheme. Chill. Pretend your sports car is a beater, take a deep breath, and relax.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Procrastination has its rewards. Washing a whole stack of dirty dishes gives you more of a sense of

ANSWERS

...to questions from page 4

My signature has, over time, degenerated into an indecipherable squiggle at best only loosely related to my actual name. Although your handwriting is probably more consistent than mine (though not necessarily any prettier) there are other things (like relationships) you’ve let deteriorate until they’re unrecognizable—so different from what they started out as that an uninformed observer would never believe you if you told him. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing—my illegible scrawl is still valid—but you might want to make sure they still work for you in their transmogrified forms. If not, I’m sure you could reverse some of the damage, with a little practice, or simply leave them behind.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

You’re an indoor cat faced with an open window.

You’ve been shitting in a tiny, stifling box for years, and now the vast unknown calls; the tantalizing and fertile expanses of your neighbor’s gardens beckon.

It might be a little scary, and realistically, dangerous—there are cars and angry green-thumbed hosewielders out there—but don’t hide under the bed.

Leap. Enough with your slightly cloistered existence and cheap catnip toys! Get out there and poop in some real dirt, chase some real birds, and get it on with that very real, very sexy cat across the street.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Scorpios dangerously confuse nostalgia and regret. The former is fondly imagining your mom’s teenage years, when she used to iron her hair flat and go make out in the back of her boyfriend’s dad’s wood-paneled station wagon. The latter is obsessively reliving, mentally, a past decision you wish you could change. Unfortunately, too many Scorps get trapped in a sadistic cycle, where each bemoaned choice begets more bad choices, because you’re paying more attention to your past than your present, until years later, you finally notice you’ve wasted your life. Quit it! Shake it off. Pay attention to what (and who) is happening now. Stop beating yourself up for an ancient mistake, so you can keep from making more errors to regret later.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

You’re a migratory bird gone wrong, this week. You rejected your instinctive urge to fly south for the winter, because you’d happened upon a seemingly inexhaustible treasure trove of fattening and delicious seeds. You decided to brave the cold to stay near your avian cornucopia. Now you’re regretting that decision. Don’t. Maybe it wasn’t the best choice. But you made it, and it’s simply too cold and late to make the journey to your usual winter home. Instead of suffering undue chagrin, make the best of things. It’s not all bad—quite a lot of it is good, in fact. Focus on that. The other good stuff will fly back your way soon enough.
