gallon of gasoline) so 1.38 gallons of ethanol is needed to equal one gallon of gasoline energy. So in reality one barrel isn’t really one barrel, it is a barrel in liquid volume, but not in energy density.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) projects that ethanol distilleries will require only 60 million tons of corn from the 2008 harvest. But the Earth Policy Institute (EPI) estimates that ethanol distilleries will need 139 million tons of corn, more than twice as much. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) relies heavily on the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), a trade group, for data on ethanol distilleries under construction.

In actuality there are four firms that collect and publish data on U.S. ethanol distilleries under construction. RFA is the one most frequently cited, but the other three firms are Europe-based F.O. Licht, the publisher of World Ethanol and Biofuels Report; BBI International, which publishes Ethanol Producer Magazine; and the American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE), publisher of Ethanol Today.

Unfortunately, the lists of plants under construction maintained by RFA, BBI, and ACE are not complete. Each contains some plants that are not on the other lists.

Drawing on these three lists and on biweekly reports from F.O. Licht, EPI has compiled a more complete master list. For example, EPI shows 79 plants under construction, RFA lists 62 plants.

According to the EPI compilation, the 116 ethanol plants in production on December 31, 2006, were using 53 million tons of grain per year, while the 79 plants under construction, mostly larger facilities, will use 51 million tons of grain when they come online. Expansions of 11 existing plants will use another eight million tons of grain (one ton of corn equals 39.4 bushels, which equals 110 gallons of ethanol).

In addition, easily 200 ethanol plants were in the planning stage at the end of 2006. If these translate into construction starts between January 1 and June 30, 2007, at the same rate that plants did during the final six months of 2006, then an additional three billion gallons of capacity requiring 27 million more tons of grain will likely come online by Sept. 1, 2008, the start of the 2008 harvest year. This raises the corn needed for distilleries to 139 million tons, half the 2008 harvest projected by USDA. This would yield nearly 15 billion gallons of ethanol, satisfying 6 percent of U.S. auto fuel needs.

This diversion of the world’s leading grain crop for the production of fuel will affect food prices everywhere. As the world corn price rises, so do those of wheat and rice for human consumption and sorghum, barley and millet for animal feed as markets look to other crops as replacements, people and animals still need to eat. With traditional animal feed

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

from corn becoming more expensive look for dairy, meat and poultry prices to rise along with all human and animal consumption grains, starting now!

Let’s jump to 2015: Corn-based ethanol production would reach 31.5 billion gallons per year, or about 20 percent of projected U.S. fuel consumption in 2015. U.S. corn production 2006 was 11 billion bushels. Ethanol yield is approximately 2.5 gallons per bushel (39.4 bushels of corn equals 110 gallons of ethanol).

Ethanol has less energy density (one gallon of ethanol produces 62 percent as much heat as one gallon of gasoline) so 25 billion multiplied by 0.62 equals 15.8 billion gallons of gasoline energy, equivalent to about 10 percent or half the 20 percent Bush wants so these production numbers have to be doubled.

Keep in mind the grain it takes to fill a 25-gallon tank with ethanol just once will feed one person for a whole year. This puts Hawai`i in a unique position for ethanol production from sugarcane, which has a high EROEI and provides a domestic fuel source for the islands, with a possibility to export excess ethanol back to the mainland.

With all of this massive energy input to generate six percent of U.S. fuel needs next year, consider we could save that six percent by simple conservation measures.

The wall to breakdown that exists in this philosophy is conservation equals nonconsumption, the 180-degree opposite of corporations whose philosophy is consume. Thanks Rob for getting the awareness started.

-David DuByne, former Maui resident now working on bio-fuel development projects in Thailand (See Page 8 for Rob Parsons’ response.)

To follow up on the article “Potential Energy” by Rob Parsons in your Feb. 15, 2007 edition, we first need to understand why the switch to ethanol is happening. It’s called oil depletion or peak oil. Inside an oil well, just as in a glass of water there is only so much liquid. Since the pumps are so much better these days at getting oil out of the ground we are emptying many of the world’s oil wells faster than we are finding new oil to replace what is taken out worldwide year after year. For example in Mexico, a well called Cantarell is the second largest in the world after Garwar in Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest.

Three years ago Cantarell well produced 2.2 million barrels of oil per day, this year it is down to 1.5 million and by the end of 2007 it is predicted

by Pemex State Oil Company to drop to 900,000 barrels per day. This case is not only limited to Mexico, it is happening in 34 of the 47 countries that sell oil on the world market every day.

This is exactly why the change over to ethanol and bio-diesel is occurring, for no other reason than we are backed into a corner with no other option. Currently there is no substitute to power our cars, ships, airplanes and trucks that deliver what we need to keep our lives intact.

Solar, wind, nuclear, bio-mass gasification, hydroelectric power or coal can never power the vehicles we use to keep the economies of the world moving and goods delivered. We have fossil fuels and the new replacements of ethanol and oils from plants as replacements for transportation and farm machinery, period.

Now let’s talk about ethanol. It’s mainly produced from corn but other crops can be used such as sugarcane, rice and tapioca. It takes energy to make energy, and the amount of energy you must invest in the process of making ethanol is called EROEI: Energy Returned On Energy Invested.

One gallon net production of corn ethanol requires three gallons of input for that production because corn ethanol has an EROEI of 1.34 to one. When you multiply the extra energy gained from production of each barrel by three, you get 1.02, or one extra barrel of positively gained energy. It takes three barrels of oil to make one barrel of ethanol (0.34 times three equals 1.02).

Sugarcane has an EROEI of eight.

One barrel of energy input to turn sugarcane into ethanol gives eight positive barrels of usable energy. In addition, corn ethanol has less energy density (one gallon of ethanol produces 62 percent as much heat as one

‘Pursuing Opportunities’ Is Wal-Mart in Kahului preparing to expand?

‘Super’ Wal-Mart Maui may be just around the corner. For the last month, Wal-Mart shoppers in Kahului have been asked to sign their names and vital stats on a postcard-sized petition headed, “Support Your Right to Choose Where You Shop on Maui!” A Wal-Mart supercenter would add a grocery store to the current list of WalMart goods and services.

But the good fight may be on in Maui, as it has been in other counties in Hawai`i. During a Hawai`i State Association of Counties (HSAC) meeting, Maui Council Chairman Riki Hokoma decided to join lawmakers from the rest of the state in introducing legislation that would prohibit “box-stores” larger than 75,000 square feet.

The average Wal-Mart supercenter is 185,000 square feet. And, for a supercenter already planned in Hilo, drawings call for a 200,000-square foot building, according to Wal-Mart spokesman Kevin McCall.

McCall contends that the in-store petitions, which say, “Yes! I support free competition on Maui and oppose any law that would prevent Wal-Mart from opening a Supercenter on our island. You can use my name and count on me!” aren’t part of an active plan for expansion on Maui.

“We’re always pursuing opportunities to better benefit our customers,” he said. “There’s nothing really we can comment on in Maui.”

But in Hilo, plans have gone much further. And even if the Hawai`i County Council passes their resolution to ban supercenters, the bill won’t have teeth since the Wal-Mart expansion is planned on a 15.5-acre parcel of Hawaiian Home Lands, and approvals on those lands aren’t sub-

ject to county control.

In Kauai, Wal-Mart has already announced plans to expand the store and has leased the adjacent property. Public hearings will be held there in late April.

The Wal-Mart phenomenon has been cheered and jeered, but has continued to steamroll higher and higher profits. There are eight Wal-Marts and two Sam’s Clubs in Hawai`i, employing 4,238 people as of February 2007.

The company is the second-largest company in the world in terms of revenue—only ExxonMobil is bigger. And, Sam Walton’s widow and children together are the richest family in the nation, currently worth $80 billion dollars—more than Warren Buffett and Bill Gates combined—according to the Apr. 2, 2007 New Yorker article “Selling Wal-Mart.”

But growth hasn’t come without criticism. The company is reviled by unions, faces court challenges for its treatment of women, is known as a chronic low-payer and is charged with offering dismal benefits to its workers.

Then there’s the charge that Wal-Mart pushes local businesses out-of-business.

John Min, executive assistant for Maui council chair Riki Hokama, noted that the local concern is based on the experiences in California communities with “Super” Wal-Marts, “where communities have been significantly impacted, especially smaller businesses.”

McCall said his company gives large amounts of money to the communities it’s a part of, saves people an average of 17 to 20 percent on grocery bills and that customers have requested supercenters in all of Hawai`i’s counties.

“One of the things Hawai`i is blessed with is some of the best fresh foods,” he said. “Something we would do is work with a lot of the local vendors: milk, fruits, vegetables. We’re excited about the chance.”

Not so super at the moment

The corporate office reported that it spent over $169 million with local Hawai`i vendors in 2006 and worked with 484 separate island suppliers without any supercenters yet built. But ultimately, WalMart’s plans come down to consumers.

Martha Rojas, 41, visiting Maui from Suwanee, Georgia, had nothing but good things to say about the company. “I’m a ‘super’ Wal-Mart and ‘super’ Target kind of girl,” she said. “For a busy mother, you can get your groceries, beach stuff, and whatever you need all in one place. That’s important.”

Reetha Bartunek, 48, of Paia agrees. “I

would give them a try,” she said. “I haven’t gone in one [a supercenter] before, so I’d like to see what it was like. Now I shop at Safeway, Costco and sometimes Mana.

But only at Mana for certain things. You know, I like regular mayonnaise. Get rid of that soy crap. It has no taste.”

If Council Chair Riki Hokama has anything to say about it, Wal-Mart’s possible expansion on Maui may become moot this June. That’s when the County Council Planning Committee decides if the “banning of the big-boxes” resolution deserves deep deliberation. MTW

ROBREPORT

BY ROB PARSONS ROBPARSONS@EARTHLINK.NET

No Fuel Like a Biofuel Back in February, I got an email from David DuByne, a former Maui resident now working on bio-fuel development and organic farming projects in Northern Thailand. He had read my Feb. 15, 2007 article, “Potential Energy” and wrote to tell me he had just finished a book on biofuels.

He said the book was written as an ESL (English as a Second Language) text, so that oil and energy jargon can be simplified for the average reader.

Dave recently wrote back, with a lot of valuable information on the rush to implement biofuels for our energy needs. His letter appears on Page 6.

Hawai`i, like many other places worldwide, seems enamored with the idea of ethanol and biodiesel fuel crops helping to wean our dependence on imported fossil fuels. At the same time, drawbacks to the ambitious efforts are surfacing.

Ethanol not only reduces automobile engine performance and gas mileage, but can be damaging to marine or garden equipment engines, since the alcohol component attracts water. Ethanol also requires a large input of water for processing, and produces an odorous organic byproduct, vinesse, at a 12 to one ration for each gallon of ethanol.

Two proposals are afoot to build mega-sized biodiesel refineries to Hawai`i. Maui Electric handpicked two Mainlanders who formed a corporation called BlueEarth biofuels, and hope to construct a facility to produce 40 million gallons per year by 2009, and 120 million gallons by 2011. Last week, Imperium Biofuels of Seattle announced plans for a 100 million gallon capacity refinery on Oahu. Both indicated they would have to import vegetable oil, as there is no current production of oil crops on Hawai`i ag lands.

There is a growing awareness that cheaply produced oil crops worldwide contribute to rainforest destruction, soil erosion, water pollution, and social justice issues. Palm oil produced in Malaysia, Borneo and Indonesia has attracted much of the attention over ecosystem devastation, even while millions more hectares of rainforest are imperiled due to increased interest in palm, as a non-trans-fat oil, and as a biodiesel feedstock.

Soya oil cultivation in South America is equally disastrous, according to a report by the Institute of Scientists In Society. The ISIS report, GM Soya Disaster in Latin America, details the multiple environmental and socio-economic problems associated with large mono-cropping efforts in Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina. “As long as

LC Watch The LC’s Big Dance No one in a nightclub can stand up and dance at their table or at the bar.

Nor can people dance in an aisle, as they walk to or from the restroom or anywhere else in the club besides whatever small zone has been specially taped-off and designated strictly for dancing.

This is sometimes where they plant oil crops these countries continue to embrace neoliberal models of development and respond to demand from the globalized economy, the rapid proliferation of soybean will increase, and so will the associated ecological and social impacts.”

Competition for ag lands between food and energy needs will raise food prices for everyone, while reducing our fossil fuel dependency only minimally. Since President Bush’s mention of ethanol in his 2006 State of the Union address, corn prices have risen to four dollars a bushel, prompting street protests in Mexico, where the price of tortillas has doubled. The push to bioenergy may continue to have a large ripple effect across a wide economic spectrum, as well as environmental.

Locally, our public utility monopolies seem to be trying to think outside the box of their petroleum-fueled, centralized power grid old paradigm. But it’s increasingly obvious that the plans for a huge biodiesel refinery are leading us down a dead-end road.

Bills at the state legislature to support $59 million in special revenue bonds to finance the BlueEarth plant sailed through early hearings, but now are facing opposition. Ten statewide environmental groups and at least 50 individuals sent opposing testimony, which had minimal support. But BlueEarth, HECO, and MECO brought in the cavalry, including building trade unions and the Maui Chamber of Commerce. A decision will be made this week, though the proposal would still face due diligence for the bonds, and Public Utility Commission approvals.

Karen Chun, Sierra Club Maui board member and webmaster, has put together an impressive compilation of articles and information on biofuels at www.hi.sierraclub.org/maui/biodiesel.html.

Chun also offered these strategies as keys to our energy sustainability: • Decentralization: Rooftop solar hot water and photovoltaic, personal wind generation.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

• Conservation through intelligent building design, transportation choices, infrastructure, town design, and building codes.

• Conservation through fewer disposable products and more efficient energy use design.

While we hurry towards so-called renewable alternatives, we have barely scratched the surface on these approaches. One clear obstacle is the existing roadblock to netmetering decentralized electric generation, due to bureaucratic red tape as well as a limit on the number of participants.

State funding and incentives to biofuel production will be best applied to small, gradual local efforts, not continuing to send our energy and food dollars out of the state. Local bioenergy efforts hold more promise than those rooted in the rocky soil of large corporate global economics. MTW

These rules date back many years and come from the Maui County Department of Liquor Control, instead of, say, the Fire Department, which enforces capacity restrictions for establishments that don’t have liquor licenses. Though club-goers have long criticized these rules, the LC never really did anything about it because people rarely complained to them directly. Now that’s changed.

Ramoda Anand, confined to a wheelchair because of severe Cerebral Palsy, and his friend Anthony Simmons have slowly but steadily been agitating the LC on the issue of dancing. During the Oct. 11, 2006 Liquor Commission hearing, both men asked the commissioners—who approve all the county’s liquor laws—if they could explain what exactly the LC considered “dancing.”

Not really satisified with the answer given them by LC Director Franklyn Silva—“you know it when you see it”—they set up a modest webpage linking to a few news articles and letters at www.myspace.com/mauidanceadvocates and began calling for a public hearing on potentially changing the rules governing dancing. In March, the LC agreed.

The Liquor Commission will discuss changing the dancing rules sometime near the end of their next hearing, which begins at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, April 11. The commissioners meet in the Room 107 conference room of the Trask Building, which is located at 2145 Kaohu St. in Wailuku. Anyone wanting more information can call the LC at 243-7753.

“I want as many people as I can get to show up,” Anand emailed me on Mar. 26. “[I]t would be great if the room was packed.”

ML&P WILL DRINK TO THAT What’s this? Maui Land & Pineapple has crawled back to the top slot?

Considering this week’s big news, it’s a given, wouldn’t you say? I mean, it isn’t every week that a company—even one as large and powerful as this one—has its investment pay off in such a rich manner.

I mean, anyone who puts a lot of money and effort into a project expects a solid return, right? Isn’t that to be expected? Well, we’ll all see very soon, I suspect. As you all might have surmised by now, I’m speaking of Maui Land & Pineapple’s big, big decision to start selling pineapple juice to Hawaiian Island Spirits. Think of it! Pineapple Vodka made with real pineapple juice from the Maui Land & Pineapple Co.! No more having to pour pineapple juice into plain vodka to make pineapple martinis! And it’s not just vodka we’re talking here, either: according to an online Pacific Business News story posted Mar. 27, over the next 12 months ML&P and Hawaiian Island Spirits will also develop “nonalcoholic juice blends” as well as “other than standard wine.” Other than standard wine?! That means pineapple wine! Take that, Tedeschi Vineyard! Your days of controlling the “other than standard wine” market are over!

NO IMPACT HERE Oh, and it also looks like ML&P is going to get its way with the proposed Superferry, into which the company has already poured $1 million (ML&P boss David Cole also sits on the Superferry board of directors). Anyway, Representative Joe Souki (D, 8th District), who’s taken money from both ML&P and Hawaii Superferry, Inc., really came through this week and killed a bill that would have required an environmental impact statement on the Superferry. The company wouldn’t even have had to pay for the study, but that was too much for old Joe: “It is not fair to single out the Hawai`i Superferry,” Souki said in the Mar. 29 Honolulu Advertiser. MTW

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

WEDNESDAY, Mar. 28 Not sure of the point behind Linda Lingle Campaign Committee Finance Director Miriam Hellriech’s letter in today’s Maui News.

Ostensibly, she’s defending Lingle’s “honesty and integrity” from a “totally false” letter by reader Pamela Polland that said Lingle “received more than $25,000 from the Hawaii Superferry ‘interests.’” Yes, and? Though Hellriech says “it is a matter of public record” that Lingle did accept $6,000 from “principles associated with Hawaii Superferry” in 2004 and 2006, and says Lingle returned $10,400 in Superferry money “during the negotiation period in 2005,” she seems to be missing a few donations from Superferry investors like Steve Case as well as Superferry board members like Maui Land & Pineapple Co. boss David Cole and former U.S. Navy

APRIL 5, 2007

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO ANTHONY@MAUITIME.COM

Secretary John Lehman and his associates—you know, people with an “interest” in the Superferry going through on schedule. Of course, when I did the math on how much money (The Exchange, Mar. 15, 2007), I came up with $24,300—none of which was returned, as far as I can tell— but I don’t see any need to quibble over a few hundred bucks.

THURSDAY, Mar. 29 So my friend Autumn and I were late to the big SOS Metals Island Recycling Grand Opening & Blessing Ceremony at the Maui Baseyard this afternoon—getting there at 4 p.m. instead of 3 p.m. like I should have—so I missed the actual Grand Opening and Blessing Ceremony portions of the event, though I did get a chance to eat a plate full of delicious grilled meats and some wonderful chocolate brownies from Café O’Lei, watch a short movie about SOS that included lots of cool footage of a car crusher crushing junk cars, hear part-owner Sandy Shadrow use the phrase “absolute man-killer job” and get a high-five from his daughter Niki—a fashion writer from Malibu who handles public relations for SOS and has been called a “fashionista” on at least one website— when I told her I’d be writing about the party. Oh, and when it was done, Shadrow showed me around his scrap metal pile, junk car collection and car crusher. Then he told me that SOS recently crushed its 10 millionth pound of scrap metal—all while working in large containers stored near the crusher as their big warehouse—the opening of which was the occasion that spurred all of this—was being finished.

FRIDAY, Mar. 30 Podcasting.

SATURDAY, Mar. 31 Man, environmental activists really aren’t taking the news well that Monsanto Hawai`i is greatly expanding its genetically modified seed farming on Molokai. “It’s absolutely scary for us because these chemical companies, Monsanto and Dow, are becoming the main farmers on our island,” Hui Ho`opakele Aina coordinator Walter Ritte says in today’s Honolulu StarBulletin. “We have no protection because the state and the feds are not regulating them to our satisfaction. The fields are

Isn’t it wonderful?

right next to our town—east of the town and west of the town. They surround the town.” Given the considerable secrecy that surrounds all Monsanto’s GMO fields—gotta protect those valuable seed patents, after all—and the fact that European consumers loudly demanded (and got) rigorous labeling on all foods containing genetically modified organisms because many scientists keep saying we need to have more research on just how safe it is for people to eat GMO products, can anyone blame Ritte for sounding just a little bit paranoid?

SUNDAY, Apr. 1 No April Fools joke here: today’s Honolulu Advertiser reported that there are “several bills” moving through the state Legislature right now that will give tax credits, tax exemptions and loan guarantees—some call these “subsidies”—to farmers who promise to keep their acreage in agriculture. Apparently, the fact that Hawai`i is a chain of remote islands hasn’t stopped landowners from playing in the free market and developing about 50,000 acres of farmland over the last quarter century. These bills are an attempt to make sure Hawai`i doesn’t lose so much farmland to development that we can’t grow anything anymore. Needless to say, “family farmers” like Dole Food Co., Alexander & Baldwin—which already benefits from federal sugar subsidies— and ML&P have already offered their generous support to the bills. Think the bills will pass? So do I.

MONDAY, Apr. 2 It’s amazing what a wonderful place the world has become since the Bush Administration took power in early 2001.

Let’s look at just oil prices. According to Inflationdata.com—which took its statistics from the U.S. Department of Energy—the average price of oil in 2000 was $26.72 a barrel. On the whole, it wasn’t a bad price. In fact, in 2001 the price dropped to an average of $21.84 a barrel.

Not long after we had the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan, but the price pretty much stayed constant in 2002, running at $22.51 a barrel. Then in 2003 we invaded and occupied Iraq—for the stated purpose of “stabilizing” and “democratizing” the Middle East and, ultimately, bringing down the price of oil. Suddenly, the price of oil was back up to $27.54 a barrel. In 2004, the average oil price was $38.93 a barrel. By 2005, it was up to $46.47 a barrel. Last year, it climbed to $58.30 a barrel. And yesterday, Pacific Business News reported that “Middle East tensions” have driven the price of a barrel of oil up to just under $65.

TUESDAY, Apr. 3 Of course, I’m assuming things would be even worse if we weren’t winning the war… We are winning, right?

Anthony Pignataro believes so strongly that Conan O’Brien is somewhat funny that he’s prepared to go to his death saying it if necessary. MTW

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD DEMOCRACY IN FINLAND

INEXPLICABLE

The Intopii computer firm of Helsinki announced in February that it has installed software to assist voters who, studies suggest, tend to select candidates who look like themselves.

When a voter uploads his or her photo, the Web site will use facial-recognition software to find those among the 800 candidates in March parliamentary elections who most resemble that voter, to ease the difficult burden of citizenship in a democracy. And in March, incumbent parliamentary candidate Jyrki Kasvi launched the new version of his campaign Web site, written entirely in the Star Trek’s Klingon language.

In February, the government of southwestern China’s Fumin county decided to improve the feng shui (the harmony of the physical environment) for villagers next to mined-out Laoshou mountain, not by planting trees but by spray-painting the mountainside green. An employee at the county “forestry” department declined to comment to an Associated Press reporter.

PEOPLE CONFUSED BY “MOTHER” The head teacher of Johnstown Primary School in Carmarthen, Wales, ordered in February that there be no Mother’s Day cards in school this year because it might be upsetting to students without a mother. Also in February, a government-funded advisory report to Britain’s National Health Service recommended that medical staffs not use the terms “mum” and “dad” (and use “guardians” or “carers”), especially since the terms might be confusing or alienating to children of gay couples.

The local government’s tourist information center in Swindon, England, told author Mark Sutton that his World War I-themed book, Tell Them of Us, could not be sold in its bookstore unless Sutton demonstrated that he had liability insurance, not for potentially libelous passages but in case readers suffered paper cuts turning the pages.

Said Swindon Borough Council spokesman Richard Freeman, “We have to cover every eventuality.”

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT Steven McCuller, 20, was arrested twice in a two-week period for burglary in Pascagoula, Miss., but it was the earlier January arrest that was the more controversial. George Stevenson, 33, a security guard on duty at the Eastwood Townhomes complex, saw McCuller on the grounds late at night and chased him until the pursuit took both men to the nearby Arlington Elementary School, where Stevenson apprehended McCuller and waited for police to arrive. McCuller was charged in that matter, but Stevenson, also, was arrested and charged both with trespassing at a school and carrying a weapon (his service gun) on school grounds, even though no students were present.

EVERYONE HAS A DARK SIDE Ms. Georgie Audean Buoy, 82, pleaded guilty in February in The Dalles, Ore., to having sex with an 11-year-old boy in her foster care. “[T]his is not the Audean we have known for the last couple of decades,” said her pastor at the Covenant Christian Community Church. And Denver’s City Attorney—and former state court judge— Larry Manzanares was placed on leave in February after a search found one of the state’s stolen laptop computers in his home.

Manzanares told KMGH-TV that he had bought it but had no receipt. “It was rather foolish of me to even think about buying a computer from a fellow in a parking lot,” he said. Manzanares has resigned, and a special prosecutor is now investigating. MTW

“Maui, like all the islands, is rich with pineapples and sugar… The [Hawai`i] territory’s total population is now some 350,000. Caucasians, though constituting only one-tenth of the populace, dominate. There is no ‘race problem’ largely because there has been much intermarriage and ‘the colors have run.’ Besides 20,000 Hawaiian full-bloods there are some 25,000 half-castes… In Hawaii, the Japanese are called “the Jews of the Pacific” because of their ability, eagerness, tenacity at acquiring the characteristics and culture of another people.”

Dec. 16, 1966 “Five years ago, two-thirds of Hawaii’s visitors saw only Oahu. Today, two-thirds of them see at least one Neighbor Island. And why not?

HI Tech The future of Hawai`i, according to Governor Linda Lingle

By Anthony Pignataro A few months ago I read Curtis White’s 2003 book The Middle Mind: Why Americans Don’t Think For Themselves. White, an English professor at Illinois State University, is both academic and sarcastic, and had written a wonderfully scathing attack on our society’s near-complete dearth of imaginative thought and slavish love of all things hightech. In the book he calls technology not merely “the real moving force in the political imagination,” but also “the moving force behind all expresI ordered White’s book from sions of the American imagination.” It is the only part Amazon.com, which didn’t of society that has any real innovation, White wrote, have it in stock—it’s been out but that’s hardly something to cheer. of print probably since 2003— “Technology is the God that worships itself,” but arranged the sale through White wrote.

“Innovation is a dynamic process,” a fact sheet on her 2007 Initiatives tells us. “Innovation leads to sustainability.”

The first sentence is akin to saying “The sun is hot”—few people will debate you on that one. But the second sentence is worse than mere nonsense; it’s an assertion—and a thin, completely unsubstantiated one at that—passed off as a fact. But since politicians rarely expect people to think about the words that emanate from their mouths, her desire to string high-sounding, ultimately meaningless jargon together into a political proposal is understandable.

Of course, the local media has lapped it all up. “Lingle outlines initiatives to revamp economy,” reported the Honolulu Advertiser on Jan. 31. The same day, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin headlined that “Lingle makes case for high-tech state.” But nobody caught Lingle’s pitch so gallantly uncritical as The Maui News editorial page, which has long been one of her biggest fans.

“What the state and county need are innovations, new ways of thinking,” read the Feb. 3 editorial. “That’s why Gov. Lingle’s plans should be supported.”

All hail innovation! Vive la Innovation! Innovation uber alles!

Of course, innovation by itself isn’t necessarily a good thing. Iraq is one of the most hyper-innovative places on the planet right now, as any Walter Reed patient will tell you. There Sunni insurgents and Shiite death squads are feverishly discovering new ways to attach cell

Politicians talking about the necessity of innovation is nothing new. In fact, it’s not even a partisan issue. Democrats like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton are pushing it hard— because high tech companies want handouts, and are willing to write big campaign checks.

“If you wanted to find the missing urgency and passion that the Democrats should have focused on Katrina and urban poverty,” wrote Mike Davis in the January Nader testifying before the U.S. 2007 issue of the New Left Review, “it was eviHouse of Representatives Budget dent last year in the rousing speeches that Pelosi Committee, June 30, 1999: “If a and other leading Democrats delivered in tech program involves the governhubs like Emeryville, Mountain Ville, Raleigh ment giving more to private and Redmond.” companies than it gets back— According to Davis, high-tech firms want that is, where it is engaging in a research credits, patent reforms and alternative transaction that cannot be justienergy subsidies.

Ironically, Lingle actually started off in a Already on the skids following the more or less rational manner. “We need to indictments of Abramoff and Delay, focus on developing our people, recognizing the November 2006 election of that our future economic success and susDemocratic majorities in both houses tainability depends upon innovation and of Congress finally ended the project. new ideas that will enable us to create more high-paying quality jobs that capitalize on people’s skills and talents,” she said in a Jan. 12 press release.

While there’s a lot to question about that sentence—most notably, how does sustainability depend on innovation?—the basic premise, that higher skilled jobs lead to better quality of life, is economically sound.

But then Lingle goes off track a few paragraphs later: “Our goal is to create a citizenry that will help make Hawai`i competitive and successful in the global economy.”

Nations—and certainly not states—do not “compete” in the “global economy.” Unlike corporations, which do compete, government entities don’t need to worry about market share or profit margins. In fact, the economist Paul Krugman, who also writes a column in The New York Times, ridiculed the notion that nations compete more than a dozen years ago.

“In reality, there is almost nothing to our fixation with national competitiveness, or its central idea—that every country is like a giant corporation, slugging it out against rivals in global markets,” he wrote on Mar. 7, 1994. “The U.S. and Japan are simply not competitors in the same way that, say, Ford competes with Toyota. Any country’s standard of living depends almost entirely on its own domestic performance, and not on how it performs relative to other countries. That’s not just my view; it’s what most economists think.”

This is a major problem considering that Lingle talks of building a new Hawai`i that will “compete” in the “global economy” so often that you’d think she was collecting royalties.

Lingle’s Jan. 22 State of the State Address conFor some reason this reminds me tained a great deal more of the same. “The of the 1954 movie Conquest of Future Begins Today,” was her title, which makes Space, in which the general leadless sense the more you think about it. “It is ing the first mission to Mars important for us to have a concrete, shared declares that humanity’s destiny is understanding of where we want to go,” she said. to “conquer space.” But then he “Without this common vision, it will be too easy goes insane for some reason that’s to get off track and stumble on our pathway to never really explained, transformthe future.” ing from a goose-stepping military As though “we” can wind up someplace other officer into a Bible-thumping than “the future.”

Luddite who denounces human “Are we just going to tread water and hope we intrusion into space and attempts can somehow sustain our standard of living by to make right by destroying his doing the same things we have done in the past?” ship and crew, which happens to she asked near the end of the speech. “Or are we include his own son. going to be true to the heritage of innovation left to us by our ancestors and embrace the new economy by making certain our citizens have the education and training they need to compete with anyone, anywhere, anytime?”

But then she said something that would be megalomaniacal, were it not nonsensical: “I want to lead us down the path of innovation because it is the path of hope and opportunity.”

The problem isn’t that Lingle is merely spouting nonsense. Her rhetoric may be meaningless, but she’s also proposing actual legislation that’s anything but.

“First among the principles is providing the education and training our citizens need to compete with the best Lingle euphemistically and the brightest from around the world,” Lingle said calls these “STEM Skills.” during her Jan. 22 State of the State Address. “Because that is, above all, what it will take for us to succeed.”

Lingle then proposed a “workforce development plan” that “emphasizes the teaching of science, technology, engineering and math skills.”

For all her talk of innovation, this is a very old idea indeed. In 1957, after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world’s first artificial satellite, U.S. government officials freaked out, terrified that our students were “falling behind” the Russian kids in their rigorous Soviet education modules, or whatever they had for schools. So they started a well-publicized, well-funded crash proThe Segway guy. gram to teach American kids science, technology, engineering and math—a course of study that, at least in theory, never abated.

But no matter. Taking a cue from inventor Dean Kamen, Lingle spent part of her State of the State Address telling us that robots are the future.

“I recently returned from New Hampshire where I participated in the annual kick-off for an extra-curricular, teenage robotics competition program that teaches STEM skills, known Represents Kahului, as the FIRST Robotics Competition,” she said. “Dean is a Wailuku, Pu`unene, passionate advocate for teaching America’s students Sprecklesville, Paia; serves STEM skills through FIRST Robotics Competitions that as vice-chair of the House combine the excitement of sports with science and techLabor and Public nology to create what he calls ‘a unique varsity sport for Employment Committee; the mind.’” sells paint.

Most of Lingle’s proposed initiatives amount to little more than corporate welfare. In fact, she acknowledged On Mar. 27, Hoku offias much when she testified before the House Committee on cials broke ground for a Labor and Public Employment on Jan. 30. Gone was her 67-acre, $260 million empty rhetoric about the state competing in the global plant in Pocatello, economy, replaced with something a bit more practical.

The plant will “House Bill 1280 was introduced as a measure to help make polysilicon, which Hawaii’s companies and workers remain competitive in is used in solar panels. the global market of changing technology in business and The groundbreaking industry,” she said, according to a written statement of was such a big deal that her remarks obtained from Representative Bob Idaho Governor C. L. Nakasone’s office.

“Butch” Otter and Indeed, Lingle’s remarks show the real “competition”— Pocatello Mayor Roger the battle between states to cut deals with private industry.

Chase reportedly “We saw [this] happen in the recent move of Hoku showed up.

Scientific to Idaho,” Lingle told the committee. “Among

other incentives, Hoku Scientific received from Idaho more than a million dollars in workforce training funds.”

Lingle’s answer? Give state taxpayer dollars to private industry for research, so they don’t have to spend their own money. Hence she wants to “Support a private sector-led life sciences and biotech research facility.” Lingle wants to build a “Music Enterprise Learning Experience” (MELE)–which is apparently some kind of training center for what she calls “the development of Hawai`i’s music industry.” And she wants to develop what she calls a “digital media center to act as a catalyst, incubator and aggregator for the development of a local film and digital media sector.”

Lingle also asked for a “$100 million professional managed Hawai`i Innovation Fund to provide capital for promising emerging companies.” Who manages? And what’s the criteria for “promising”?

That fund is still alive, though senators have already deleted the $100 million figure. As for the rest of her bills, it’s a mixed bag. On Feb. 24, a House committee deferred HB 1280, putting it on hold indefinitely, but the Senate Ways and Means Committee is looking over SB 1366, the Senate counterpart.

Senate Bill 1365, which contains the biotech research facility and other corporate welfare items cited above, passed out of the Senate Financial Committee on Mar. 30. Its House counterpart, HB 1279, has been deferred.

Both House Bill 1268 and Senate Bill 1354—which would push the science and math skills in our schools—are pending in their respective Ways and Means Committees. And Senate Bill 1367, which would expand the state Office of International Affairs and “focus on enhancing Hawai`i’s leadership role in the Asia-Pacific region,” is pending in Ways and Means Committee while its House counterpart—HB 1281—has been deferred.

Like ridiculously low labor costs.

In the April 2002 issue of Though largely unsaid by Lingle or the press, Wired, Bruce Sterling vividly much of the innovation our governor dreams of describes exactly this scenario will benefit the military. What did you think in a story called “Peace is War.” President Dwight Eisenhower was referring to The essay is unsettling not so when he derided the “military-industrial complex” much because of the ramificaway back in 1961? Ever since then we’ve been tions of an American President marching towards a world in which U.S. military being able to bomb nearly anypower includes the capability of dropping bombs one on Earth from space— from low Earth orbit, blinding enemy soldiers with though there’s that—but lasers and dropping Special Forces anywhere on because Sterling thinks it’s such the planet within an hour’s notice. a kick-ass idea.

Is this Hawai`i’s future? Just another cog in the war machine of the greatest imperial power in history?

Of course, it’s already happened. Defense contractors large (Boeing) and small (Trex) have offices in the Maui Research & Technology Center in Kihei. There’s even talk the new telescope proposed for the Haleakala summit will watch for incoming nuclear missiles.

And in early March, Ambient Micro—also based in Kihei—won a $750,000 contract to design a power source for drone aircraft.

“The goal of this technology is to increase the endurance and survivability of unmanned aircraft,” Ambient Micro President Scott Weeker said in the Mar. 7, 2007 Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

Translated into English, Weeker wants to design a way for the military to keep its unmanned planes in the air longer, so they can spy on potential enemies longer and then potentially launch missiles at them. It’s all about making our military more lethal, and in the long run making sure it’s easier for us to get what we want in the world if we decide to start killing people.

It’s also exactly the kind of “innovation” the Lingle Our inability to stop the Administration wants to encourage. killing and mayhem in Iraq “We are pleased to hear about the Ambient Micro notwithstanding. contract,” state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism Director Ted Liu said in the same Mar. 7 Star-Bulletin story cited above. “We hope that this is one of many contracts that will be coming to Hawaii’s high-tech business community.”

This is where the debate over “innovation” should begin. If Lingle is going to get her way and move the foundation of our state’s economy from land to technology, then people should know exactly what that technology will make possible. MTW

ONO KINEGRINDS

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS SAM@MAUITIME.COM

Spoiled by Spago A night of unrelenting goodness in Wailea Few restaurants enjoy the kind of celebrity awarded a place like Spago.

It’s a restaurant whose name is equated with prestige, Hollywood glamour and smoked salmon pizza with crème fraiche and caviar. And its infamy has long been sustained by its flagship Beverly Hills location’s reputation as a celeb-hotspot. Consequently, everybody knows what a “Spago” is, even if they can’t afford to actually dine there.

The reason is simple: Wolfgang Puck, Spago’s founder, is a chef whose marketing skill nearly surpasses his culinary expertise. Not only is he the most recognized progenitor of upscale California cuisine, but he also has his name on numerous cook-

books, a cooking show and various guest TV spots, a line of kitchen equipment and appliances, a chain of fine dining and fast food restaurants and a brand of frozen foods and canned soups found in just about every American supermarket.

Spago Four Seasons Resort Wailea, 874-8000.

Open 5:30-9:30 p.m. nightly. $$$

But even if you know all this already, please allow me to be the first to tell you that you know nothing about Spago— or, at least, the Spago that opened in the Four Seasons Resort Wailea six years ago. And especially if you haven’t been there in the past year, when chef Cameron Lewark took the helm.

On assignment for a sidegig I have writing reviews for an online travel guide, I dined recently at the Spago in Wailea. My companion

Delicately sweet and spicy ahi poke in sesame-miso cones.

and I were ushered to what looked to be the best table in the house—alongside a rock waterfall and koi pond with magnificent views overlooking Wailea Beach and the breathtaking sunset skyline over Kaho`olawe, Lana`i and West Maui.

What proceeded next, at the recommendation of our ever-accommodating and highly professional team of servers and food-deliverers, was a head-spinning barrage of plates—a “tasting” of chef Lewark’s extraordinary feats of creation— each one more scintillating than the last.

Lewark is a passionate, extremely focused chef who, through grueling work, sleepless nights and a desire to make people love tomato water, found his way from potato-peeler to menumaker in his 12 years at Spago. He got his start under the guidance of renowned chef Lee Hefter, Spago Beverly Hill’s executive chef, before opening the kitchen of the Wailea Spago.

And then last year, with Seamus Mackenzie as his sous chef, Lewark was promoted to chef de cuisine.

Anyway, we were smitten at the word “tasting.”

As the dining room bustled, a conch blew, the sunset glowed pastel and palm trees swayed, we feasted: Kamuela tomato soup with basil cream; a delicately sweet and spicy ahi poke in sesame-miso cones; ceviche-style diver scallop; ahi Top to bottom: Ginger-mac nut crusted mahi, sorbet (lychee, guava and passionfruit), chef Cameron Lewark and yet another of his extraordinary creations

sashimi with freshly grated wasabi; a layered stack of Mauna Kea goat cheese with roasted baby beets that was rich like chocolate cake; a finely chopped 15-vegetable salad; creamy corn risotto; steamed hapu`upu`u with plum sauce; pan-seared papio with ginger-sake atop a seemingly hickory-smoked pineappleshrimp fried rice; tempura Maui Onions with six sauces; unbelievably fresh garlic spinach and béchamel; and the juiciest, most tender, melt-in-your-mouth Japanese Wagyu New York sirloin steak.

We had a serious food buzz.

Nearly defeated, I remember our last course like a dream, where ariasinging angels delivered an Austrian soufflé pancake with strawberry coulis on a fluffy white cloud while pouring ambrosial “liquid gold”—a late-harvest Dolce sauvignon blanc— down our throats.

It was Kaiserschmarren, but they called it “Wolfgang’s childhood pancake.”

After one perfect bite—equal parts cake, crème and sauce—my companion leaned back in her seat and sighed happily.

“I just wanna hug everybody,” she said. “The chefs, the waiters, the guests—everybody.”

Spago also features an on-going promotion for kama`aina—buy one entrée, get the second one free. Astounding, yes? It’s the kind of deal you can’t afford NOT to cash in on. Reservations (and ID’s) are a must. MTW

The Hottest Man in the World is a Woman Thursday (Apr. 12), 7:30 p.m. at McCoy Studio Theater [COMEDY] The Coconut Cabaret is bringing Varla Jean Merman to Maui for a night of “witty banter, operatic melodies, and anatomically incorrect videos.” For those of you who have no clue as to who this Varla Jean is, let me tell you something—this chick is hot in a screaming-siren, old-school pin-up sort of way. The other thing is that this Varla Jean lady is a dude named Jeffery Roberson. Never mind about that. Let’s talk about Varla Jean more... Maui is just one stop in an international tour for her new show, “Varla Jean Merman in Anatomically Incorrect.” She’s been celebrated in just about every big-shot national magazine, and—besides making you want to shave your legs and wax your ‘stache—is supposed to be terribly hilarious. Tickets: $20. McCoy Studio Theater, Maui Arts and Cultural Center, 242-7469. [LILIANA BEGLEY]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

Cheating and Cholera Friday (Apr. 6), 2, 5 and 7:30 p.m., at Castle Theater, MACC [FILM] A Maui Film Festival screening: The Painted Veil. I’ve had a major thing for Edward Norton ever since I saw the opening sex scene in American History X. Yeah, remember that? I rest my case. Not to mention, if he was good enough for Salma Hayek, he’s good enough for me. Amen. Anyway, Norton and Naomi Watts star in The Painted Veil, a celebrated drama set in China during the cholera epidemic of the 1920’s. The basic deal is that Watts and Norton get married as a convenience kind of thing, they go to China where he’s a bacteriologist, he works too much, she cheats with some hot guy, he finds out and gets mad, he gets even by taking her to a highly infectious little part of China where people are dropping like flies from cholera, they make up.

The End. Tickets: $10. Castle Theater, Maui Arts and Cultural Center, 242-7469.

That’s right, partners—it’s Club Masters with DJs Ray (aka Ray Masters, a painterly artiste—that’s his work up there) and Durty, bringing you the hottest house sounds from Miami WMC ’07.

Das in Your Basket?

Saturday (Apr. 7), 7:30 p.m. at The Studio Maui, Haiku [INDIAN DEVOTIONAL MUSIC] Nothing says Easter weekend like getting your picture taken with the Mall Bunny, colored egg hunting, and kirtan. “An Evening of Joyful Chanting” features Vaiyasaki Das, whose music—says Steven J. Rosen, author and founding editor of the Journal of Vaishnava Studies—“is like a portal to the spiritual world.” Rosen also goes on to say that Vaiyasaki Das “opens up secret doors to the soul and gently guides listeners to the center of the heart… This is absolutely required listening for those who want to be transported to higher realms.” Yeah… I wonder what color my Easter basket will be this year. The Studio Maui is located at Haiku Marketplace, 810 Haiku Rd., 575-9390, www.thestudiomaui.com. Tickets: $15 in advance, $20 at the door.

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY COLE@MAUITIME.COM

Two for the Price of One Tarantino & Rodriguez wang it up old-school The cinematic elation and hip vibe that wafts from the screen is contagious and stupefying. In their overzealous double bill homage to the cheap grungy urban cinemas of yore that featured an ever-changing orgy of back-

Grindhouse

★★★★★ Rated R/191 mins.

to-back exploitation B-movies, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez have created an unparalleled irreverent concoction of dueling films. Loving attention is given to recreating the grindhouse experience of damaged film stock, melting celluloid, missing reels and trashy trailers that distorted the experience of watching something like 1974’s Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry coupled with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre beside an audience of snoozing bums and potsmoking teenagers.

Rarely did the movies live up to the promise of their tantalizing posters and outrageous tag lines, but the experiences were nonetheless unforgettable. Here, the movies go far beyond anything you could imagine. It’s all about the pay-offs, and there are many.

The auteur directors share a proclivity for pulling out all the stops, and while Tarantino is famous for his take-no-prisoners approach it’s Rodriguez that pushes the limits of how many gross-out gags he can squeeze into every frame. Inspired by movies like Zombie and Dawn of the Dead, Rodriguez’s Planet Terror leads off the set as a zombie thriller born of toxic green vapors released from a Texas military base.

Cherry (Rose McGowan—The Black Dahlia) quits her go-go dancer job before running into her former beau Wray (Freddy Rodriguez) at a local barbecue roadhouse.

Already, wedded doctors William (Josh Brolin) and Dakota (Marley Shelton) have been overrun with sicko patients (read: zombies) suffering from bubbling facial boils, repulsive skin lesions and marinated flesh that only momentarily disguises their bent for annihilation.

Juicy fake-blood-bloated zombies explode under endless rounds of ammunition as Cherry is elevated to humanity’s salvation Queen after Wray replaces her freshly amputated leg with a machine gun that she inexplicably fires without the aid of pulling a trigger.

An intermission between the movies comes complete with a restaurant spot featuring glimpses of remarkably unappetizing food. Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead), Eli Roth (Hostel), Rob Zombie (The Devil’s Rejects) and Robert Rodriguez each directed their own faux movie trailers with titles like Werewolf Women of the SS and

I wonder how she fires it Thanksgiving to elaborate on the ‘70s era mood of raunchy low-budget movie-going.

The astonishing previews are glorious models of decade-accurate atmosphere, but with added touches of outrageous ironic humor.

Gratuitous nudity and decapitations are punctuated with flashes of familiar faces, as with Nicholas Cage appearing briefly as a gleefully diabolical Dr. Fu Manchu.

Tarnatino’s Death Proof draws on Richard C. Sarafian’s Vanishing Point and H.B. Halicki’s Gone In 60 Seconds as much as it does from the director’s personal predilection for slasher films and hot girls talking like splintered versions of himself.

Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) quietly invades Austin’s real-life Guero’s Taco Bar where a cluster of badass gal-pals (Sydney Poitier, Jordan Ladd and Vanessa Ferlito) get their weed-and-drink on in preparation for a weekend getaway.

A nasty scar on Stuntman Mike’s face foreshadows events when he agrees to

give lone hippie-chick Pam (also played

by Rose McGowan) a ride home, but abruptly changes character once she gets in the passenger bucket of his skullemblazoned “death proof” stunt car.

What follows is the most horrific car crash ever intentionally committed to film. Mike is a deranged stalker who lives to mangle the bodies of pretty girls with his car. But he more than meets his match when he attacks a trio of film industry women driving a white Dodge Challenger, just like the car that Barry Newman’s Kowalski drove in Vanishing Point.

In Death Proof alone, Tarantino gives more roles to female actors than three Hollywood films put together. Say what you will about Tarantino’s functional embrace of the n-word in his characters’ ever-spicy dialogue, this do-it-all writer/director/cinematographer knows how to up the stakes on bad girls with fast cars.

SIGNLANGUAGE

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You can experience culture shock within a few miles of your house, if you head in the right direction. How many times have you already circled this particular stomping ground? Rams who get stuck trotting repeatedly over the same territory get bored and boring, and usually, obnoxious. There’s no need for you to stir up shit or get yourself into trouble, as you’ve lately been tempted to do. Instead, just find something new to see, smell, taste, hear, screw or do.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) I’m such a regular visitor to two neighborhood cafes that I don’t even need to order, anymore; I sit, and my desired drinks magically appear at my table. Granted, I’m a creature of habit, so that works well for me; in that way you and I are much alike. The difference is, some of your habits are standing in the way of your increased happiness. I know it’s a comfortable rut but it’s still a rut. Get out of it this week, especially because doing so might be as conveniently simple as ordering a different kind of coffee.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) I’m glad you have an active fantasy life, but there’s such a thing as taking it too far. Striking a better balance between whatever imaginary worlds you inhabit and the one we call “real life” is this week’s task. There are multiple perks to getting off your ass and actually doing something rather than just dreaming about it; for one, your ass will probably lose some of its flabby spread.

Also, just getting your blood pumping and engaging with the world is likely to have a sweet secondary effect; even if you spend a lot less time in the worlds in your head, you’ll find you enjoy them a lot more, because they’re no longer all you have.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Time-sharing a lover isn’t your cup of tea, but you have let yourself, once or twice, be talked into giving it a try. Better than nothing, you thought—and for some people, it might be. Not for you, though. In that case, nothing would be better than a little unsatisfying bit of something. I think it’s a good idea for Cancers to be less all-or-nothing, in general, but there are certain things we need to be realistic about, and what’s going on this week is one of them; you need to be getting nearly all of what you need from what or who you already have, or you need to cut yourself loose and keep looking. Those are your options—any others will only generate misery.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) You might feel like you’re in a zombie movie this week, the way many people and problems you thought dead and buried are suddenly up and walking around. Luckily, you’ve already kicked their asses once, so knocking them back down shouldn’t be too hard. You did a half-assed job of addressing these issues when they first cropped up, which is why you’re having to deal with them now. Don’t just set them on fire and walk away—this time, stick around until there’s nothing left but ash.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Winning the Miss America pageant isn’t everything, my dear. In fact, it’s hardly anything. Only to people inhabiting that tiny, insular beauty contest world is that sash and tiara at all important.

Your most recent screw-up is about as critical as not acing the swimsuit competition; in other words, not very. If your “failure” means reality is crumbling for someone, offer them your pity (for having such a limited view of the world), but not your guilt.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) What’s happened lately is that you’ve retreated too far into your head and lost touch with your heart and/or body. All those pretty thoughts are keeping you from having the best sex you could have, or really tasting your food, or giving your friends the kind of affection they deserve. Luckily, it’s easy to get distracted from all that stuck-in-your-head crap long enough to restore the equilibrium you need: anytime something sensual (a bit of good chocolate, a kiss, a caress, the warmth of the sun on your face) shows up, stop everything (especially thinking) long enough to truly enjoy it. Once you make a habit of that, you’ll realize that balance is no longer an issue.

SECURITY

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Who’s survived your sting? Those are the people you need the most, my friend, because they’ve developed an immunity to whatever venom or darkness lies within you, unlike whatever poor unsuspecting soul you’ve lately gotten close to. Get back in touch with the people who’ve forgiven you, even though you may have hurt them; they’re more precious than gold. Remember that, when you’re looking for support. It may feel counterintuitive to seek it from someone you once screwed over, but s/he, ironically, may be the one best-suited to give it to you.

TSA is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

It’s not exactly your place to scold other people’s unruly children, but sometimes it’s necessary, because some parents can’t be bothered to do it. It may be their right to practice laissezfaire parenting, but it’s also your right to avoid being stepped on or having things thrown at you.

Children (and some adults) need to learn how to navigate a world where they have to balance other people’s wellbeing with their own desires. It shouldn’t fall to you to teach that to them, but, given your general desire to put yourself into a huge variety of situations (in which you encounter many, many different kinds of people), this week it might.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) My Cap friend Chris eagerly awaits the phenomenon futurists call the Singularity, when our logarithmically escalating technology explodes, virtually overnight, into something we can barely imagine. I adore his optimism, even though I know it could all just as easily go to shit, swathing the planet in grey sludge. Optimism is totally the way to go here, whether contemplating the notso-distant future of telepathic immortality or the shit-storm that could hit your life tomorrow.

Expecting the worst is one thing. Do it if you must—but don’t forget to also hope (and aim) for the best.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Aquarian Daniel Tammet is a savant who’s able to perform extraordinary feats of calculation and memory (he once recited pi to 22,514 numbers) almost certainly because of his unusual way of thinking about numbers, pairing them with visual and emotional cues (37 is lumpy like oatmeal, for example, and 89 reminds him of falling snow; Pi is a beautiful landscape). You’re no savant. That’s fine. But you do have some peculiar ways of looking at the world—instead of trying to see it the way everyone else does, run with those this week. See where they take you.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Being imperfect isn’t evil. You’re greatly exaggerating your own culpability in this situation.

You actually probably do owe someone an apology—for about 10% of the shit you’ve lately spent time feeling guilty about. Deliver the apology, then ditch the other 90% of your guilt (which you made up entirely to torture yourself, you perverse thing). Let’s assume you probably know some idiot for whom your apology isn’t good enough, or worth accepting. You know what? Ditch him, too.

Podcastination Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means of going backwards. – Aldous Huxley As progressive as I might like to consider myself, I am incredibly resistant to change. And technology. In comparison to all my friends’ Blackberries, Razors, Xun Chi’s and Pantech’s Mosquito Repellant sliders, my cell is the equivalent of a rotary dial-up. My MySpace page lingered online, photo- and profile-less, for the better part of a year. I still keep more than 500 CDs in their cases, and I refuse to get rid of my boxes of VHS and cassette tapes.

But recently some friends gave me one of those newfangled iPods, which I immediately loaded up with iTunes and iPhotos. And then I promptly iDeleted them. I have a new obsession.

Podcasts.

Yes, a syndicated digital audio file broadcasted over the Internet, much like radio, only you actually have more control over what bits of information you hear on your “pod.”

Podcasts have really been popular for the past couple years or so. Subsequently, nearly all online publications—newspapers especially—have their own podcasts offering coverage of their printed content, so that people can download specific programs onto their portable playback devices. This allows the busy multi-tasker, the lazy reader, or the computer-eye tired columnist with no cable TV, to listen to the latest news, reviews and miscellanea while away from their screens.

These days, the podcasts that get the most “hits” are, ironically, about science and technology. Of course, I have a friend whose husband listens to podcasts on poker and sales techniques and a co-worker who checks out Slate’s movie and political discussions. My most podcast-savvy girlfriend regularly subscribes to NPR pods on pop culture and world news.

I realize this newfound podcast fascination makes me incredibly nerdy, especially given my aforementioned predilection for sniffing books (“Nerd Confession #62,” July 14, 2005). But in addition to NPR—Pop Culture for Tuesday, All Songs Considered for Friday, Music for Saturday, Books for Sunday—and KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic, I also subscribe to the Radio Blowfish and Open Source sex talks. I am still me, after all.

But my latest ritual, on those mornings when I am up before dawn, is driving to work while listening to Coffee Break Spanish. That’s when I get to brush up on my Castalian Spanish by conversing with the two very Scottish hosts—Mark and Karrrrra. It’s not as embarrassing in the dark to get that lisp going. Grathias!

Just over the past couple weeks, I’ve listened to the plaintive and hilarious journals of Tennessee Williams and the elegant letters of E.B. White, and became entranced with the story of Mr. Pusskins—a restless, cranky kitty cat who learned to be content with domestic love. I’ve also heard about the multicultural significance of Sundays, discovered the profundity of “what if?” in Lionel Shriver’s parallel-narrative The Post-Birthday World, found out about a stage production in Hollywood involving nothing but Christopher Walken impersonators, became addicted to the stand-up routine of (the late) Mitch Hedberg, got to hear the music of this year’s SXSW, finally figured out what the big deal is about Mary J. Blige, swooned hardcore on Uruguayan crooner Jorge Drexler, joined forces with France in solidifying our love of Edith Piaf, recognized Patti Smith as a rock legend, realized why Bill Withers is so cool, dissected the primitive pulse of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” and learned why recent sales of music CDs have dropped by 20 percent.

Just this morning on the way to work, in addition to my Spanish refresher, I learned about Swedish bands The Knife (synth-pop), Amandine (moody folk) and Dalek (hip-hop with orchestral strings), and thanks to Lily Allen’s guest DJing, remembered my fondness for Jay-Z, Squeeze and Kasabian, and developed a Brazilian-lesbian crush on Cansei de Ser Sexy. Me llamo Samantha—encantada!

And now as I’m writing this, I’m uploading Radio France’s “L’horoscope.”

No, I’m not fluent but I figure I’ll pick up a word here and there, like “Poissons” and “compliqués.” Who knows? Maybe later I’ll move on to the pod “Knit Like the Wind.” I have always wanted to be a hooker. But yeah… the possibilities are endless.

Anyway, this is my thing. For now. You know, until the next thing. So be sure to check out how I do it, on our very own, brand spanking new Maui Time Weekly podcast “Beyond the Ink,” online at www.mauitime.com.

Samantha Campos is currently in production of a new podcast chronicling her former life as a banjo-playing dominatrix in Barstow. MTW

EARSHOT

BY COREY NIELSEN COREY@MAUITIME.COM

A Poor Man’s Guide to the Top Five Albums You’ll Never Hear on Corporate Radio JOHN FRUSCIANTE “SHADOWS COLLIDE WITH PEOPLE” [EXPERIMENTAL-ROCK] I have to be careful here, because I’m probably in love with this man and could go on about his brilliance for hours. I’ll keep it simple: this album (one of at least eight equally brilliant solo efforts by the Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist) contains 19 of the most uplifting, beautiful songs ever recorded and makes me wonder why I never hear anything besides Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance on my FM dial. It also comes with a money-back guarantee—the first reader who buys this and doesn’t like it can call me for a full refund—and a humiliating tirade. —Warner Bros. Records 2004

THE SHINS “OH, INVERTED WORLD” [MOODY-POP] I’m not going to subject you to the 13,474th “The Shins will change your life” joke you’ve heard this month but I will say this: The Shins are really fucking good. Frontman James Mercer is my favorite type of musician—a borderline weirdo/genuine genius songwriter who may be our generation’s Brian Wilson. Admittedly, I’m too broke to actually buy this album. Fortunately, thanks to Limewire’s impeccable selection I’ve heard two of its tracks, “Caring Is Creepy” and the Garden State-immortalized “New Slang.” They’re both so good that I can’t imagine the rest even remotely suck. I get pissed off thinking about how the little shits at Hot Topic most likely discovered this long before I did. —Sub Pop Records 2001

THE POSTAL SERVICE “GIVE UP” [ELECTRO-POP] I don’t even know where I found this—I won’t listen to anything that’s recommended to me, snobbishly rationalizing that my taste is better than anyone else’s—but I’m glad that I did. “Such Great Heights” and “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight” are pure electronic pop masterpieces. Again, my poverty (combined with Limewire’s inherent shittyness) has prevented me from hearing the entire album. Oh well, right?

Most CD reviews only mention two songs anyway. —Sub Pop 2003

YEAH YEAH YEAHS “FEVER TO TELL” [CATERWAULING GARAGE-ROCK] Oh, Karen O! As confident as I am in my sexual abilities, I’m guessing that woman would make me whimper like a purse dog left out in the rain. She can write a mean song, too.

Whether banshee wailing over guitarist Nick Zinner’s understated riffs or half-singing, half-crying on ballads such as “Maps” (which did receive some airplay on the strength of its heartbreaking video) Karen O. rocks my naughty little socks off. —Interscope Records 2003

ELLIOTT SMITH “EITHER/OR” [BITTERSWEET FOLK-POP] Perhaps I should ponder what attracts me to the music of a man who committed suicide by stabbing himself in the heart. Regardless, Elliott Smith was a tortured genius who, like a seemingly infinite number of talented indie-rock acts (see The Shins, Death Cab For Cutie/The Postal Service, Modest Mouse, etc.) hailed from the Pacific Northwest. Smith composed songs I’d give a nut to have written, such as “Angeles,” which is quite possibly the second most hauntingly beautiful piece of music ever recorded (after Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”). —Kill Rock Stars 1997

SIGNLANGUAGE

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You can experience culture shock within a few miles of your house, if you head in the right direction. How many times have you already circled this particular stomping ground? Rams who get stuck trotting repeatedly over the same territory get bored and boring, and usually, obnoxious. There’s no need for you to stir up shit or get yourself into trouble, as you’ve lately been tempted to do. Instead, just find something new to see, smell, taste, hear, screw or do.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) I’m such a regular visitor to two neighborhood cafes that I don’t even need to order, anymore; I sit, and my desired drinks magically appear at my table. Granted, I’m a creature of habit, so that works well for me; in that way you and I are much alike. The difference is, some of your habits are standing in the way of your increased happiness. I know it’s a comfortable rut but it’s still a rut. Get out of it this week, especially because doing so might be as conveniently simple as ordering a different kind of coffee.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) I’m glad you have an active fantasy life, but there’s such a thing as taking it too far. Striking a better balance between whatever imaginary worlds you inhabit and the one we call “real life” is this week’s task. There are multiple perks to getting off your ass and actually doing something rather than just dreaming about it; for one, your ass will probably lose some of its flabby spread.

Also, just getting your blood pumping and engaging with the world is likely to have a sweet secondary effect; even if you spend a lot less time in the worlds in your head, you’ll find you enjoy them a lot more, because they’re no longer all you have.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Time-sharing a lover isn’t your cup of tea, but you have let yourself, once or twice, be talked into giving it a try. Better than nothing, you thought—and for some people, it might be. Not for you, though. In that case, nothing would be better than a little unsatisfying bit of something. I think it’s a good idea for Cancers to be less all-or-nothing, in general, but there are certain things we need to be realistic about, and what’s going on this week is one of them; you need to be getting nearly all of what you need from what or who you already have, or you need to cut yourself loose and keep looking. Those are your options—any others will only generate misery.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) You might feel like you’re in a zombie movie this week, the way many people and problems you thought dead and buried are suddenly up and walking around. Luckily, you’ve already kicked their asses once, so knocking them back down shouldn’t be too hard. You did a half-assed job of addressing these issues when they first cropped up, which is why you’re having to deal with them now. Don’t just set them on fire and walk away—this time, stick around until there’s nothing left but ash.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Winning the Miss America pageant isn’t everything, my dear. In fact, it’s hardly anything. Only to people inhabiting that tiny, insular beauty contest world is that sash and tiara at all important.

Your most recent screw-up is about as critical as not acing the swimsuit competition; in other words, not very. If your “failure” means reality is crumbling for someone, offer them your pity (for having such a limited view of the world), but not your guilt.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) What’s happened lately is that you’ve retreated too far into your head and lost touch with your heart and/or body. All those pretty thoughts are keeping you from having the best sex you could have, or really tasting your food, or giving your friends the kind of affection they deserve. Luckily, it’s easy to get distracted from all that stuck-in-your-head crap long enough to restore the equilibrium you need: anytime something sensual (a bit of good chocolate, a kiss, a caress, the warmth of the sun on your face) shows up, stop everything (especially thinking) long enough to truly enjoy it. Once you make a habit of that, you’ll realize that balance is no longer an issue.

SECURITY

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Who’s survived your sting? Those are the people you need the most, my friend, because they’ve developed an immunity to whatever venom or darkness lies within you, unlike whatever poor unsuspecting soul you’ve lately gotten close to. Get back in touch with the people who’ve forgiven you, even though you may have hurt them; they’re more precious than gold. Remember that, when you’re looking for support. It may feel counterintuitive to seek it from someone you once screwed over, but s/he, ironically, may be the one best-suited to give it to you.

TSA is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

It’s not exactly your place to scold other people’s unruly children, but sometimes it’s necessary, because some parents can’t be bothered to do it. It may be their right to practice laissezfaire parenting, but it’s also your right to avoid being stepped on or having things thrown at you.

Children (and some adults) need to learn how to navigate a world where they have to balance other people’s wellbeing with their own desires. It shouldn’t fall to you to teach that to them, but, given your general desire to put yourself into a huge variety of situations (in which you encounter many, many different kinds of people), this week it might.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) My Cap friend Chris eagerly awaits the phenomenon futurists call the Singularity, when our logarithmically escalating technology explodes, virtually overnight, into something we can barely imagine. I adore his optimism, even though I know it could all just as easily go to shit, swathing the planet in grey sludge. Optimism is totally the way to go here, whether contemplating the notso-distant future of telepathic immortality or the shit-storm that could hit your life tomorrow.

Expecting the worst is one thing. Do it if you must—but don’t forget to also hope (and aim) for the best.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Aquarian Daniel Tammet is a savant who’s able to perform extraordinary feats of calculation and memory (he once recited pi to 22,514 numbers) almost certainly because of his unusual way of thinking about numbers, pairing them with visual and emotional cues (37 is lumpy like oatmeal, for example, and 89 reminds him of falling snow; Pi is a beautiful landscape). You’re no savant. That’s fine. But you do have some peculiar ways of looking at the world—instead of trying to see it the way everyone else does, run with those this week. See where they take you.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Being imperfect isn’t evil. You’re greatly exaggerating your own culpability in this situation.

You actually probably do owe someone an apology—for about 10% of the shit you’ve lately spent time feeling guilty about. Deliver the apology, then ditch the other 90% of your guilt (which you made up entirely to torture yourself, you perverse thing). Let’s assume you probably know some idiot for whom your apology isn’t good enough, or worth accepting. You know what? Ditch him, too.

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS SAM@MAUITIME.COM

Podcastination Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means of going backwards. – Aldous Huxley As progressive as I might like to consider myself, I am incredibly resistant to change. And technology. In comparison to all my friends’ Blackberries, Razors, Xun Chi’s and Pantech’s Mosquito Repellant sliders, my cell is the equivalent of a rotary dial-up. My MySpace page lingered online, photo- and profile-less, for the better part of a year. I still keep more than 500 CDs in their cases, and I refuse to get rid of my boxes of VHS and cassette tapes.

But recently some friends gave me one of those newfangled iPods, which I immediately loaded up with iTunes and iPhotos. And then I promptly iDeleted them. I have a new obsession.

Podcasts.

Yes, a syndicated digital audio file broadcasted over the Internet, much like radio, only you actually have more control over what bits of information you hear on your “pod.”

Podcasts have really been popular for the past couple years or so. Subsequently, nearly all online publications—newspapers especially—have their own podcasts offering coverage of their printed content, so that people can download specific programs onto their portable playback devices. This allows the busy multi-tasker, the lazy reader, or the computer-eye tired columnist with no cable TV, to listen to the latest news, reviews and miscellanea while away from their screens.

These days, the podcasts that get the most “hits” are, ironically, about science and technology. Of course, I have a friend whose husband listens to podcasts on poker and sales techniques and a co-worker who checks out Slate’s movie and political discussions. My most podcast-savvy girlfriend regularly subscribes to NPR pods on pop culture and world news.

I realize this newfound podcast fascination makes me incredibly nerdy, especially given my aforementioned predilection for sniffing books (“Nerd Confession #62,” July 14, 2005). But in addition to NPR—Pop Culture for Tuesday, All Songs Considered for Friday, Music for Saturday, Books for Sunday—and KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic, I also subscribe to the Radio Blowfish and Open Source sex talks. I am still me, after all.

But my latest ritual, on those mornings when I am up before dawn, is driving to work while listening to Coffee Break Spanish. That’s when I get to brush up on my Castalian Spanish by conversing with the two very Scottish hosts—Mark and Karrrrra. It’s not as embarrassing in the dark to get that lisp going. Grathias!

Just over the past couple weeks, I’ve listened to the plaintive and hilarious journals of Tennessee Williams and the elegant letters of E.B. White, and became entranced with the story of Mr. Pusskins—a restless, cranky kitty cat who learned to be content with domestic love. I’ve also heard about the multicultural significance of Sundays, discovered the profundity of “what if?” in Lionel Shriver’s parallel-narrative The Post-Birthday World, found out about a stage production in Hollywood involving nothing but Christopher Walken impersonators, became addicted to the stand-up routine of (the late) Mitch Hedberg, got to hear the music of this year’s SXSW, finally figured out what the big deal is about Mary J. Blige, swooned hardcore on Uruguayan crooner Jorge Drexler, joined forces with France in solidifying our love of Edith Piaf, recognized Patti Smith as a rock legend, realized why Bill Withers is so cool, dissected the primitive pulse of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” and learned why recent sales of music CDs have dropped by 20 percent.

Just this morning on the way to work, in addition to my Spanish refresher, I learned about Swedish bands The Knife (synth-pop), Amandine (moody folk) and Dalek (hip-hop with orchestral strings), and thanks to Lily Allen’s guest DJing, remembered my fondness for Jay-Z, Squeeze and Kasabian, and developed a Brazilian-lesbian crush on Cansei de Ser Sexy. Me llamo Samantha—encantada!

And now as I’m writing this, I’m uploading Radio France’s “L’horoscope.”

No, I’m not fluent but I figure I’ll pick up a word here and there, like “Poissons” and “compliqués.” Who knows? Maybe later I’ll move on to the pod “Knit Like the Wind.” I have always wanted to be a hooker. But yeah… the possibilities are endless.

Anyway, this is my thing. For now. You know, until the next thing. So be sure to check out how I do it, on our very own, brand spanking new Maui Time Weekly podcast “Beyond the Ink,” online at www.mauitime.com.

Samantha Campos is currently in production of a new podcast chronicling her former life as a banjo-playing dominatrix in Barstow. MTW
