Brennan takes leading role on school support Maine’s high school graduation rate has improved

fby five percentage points in four years, the state

Department of Education announced earlier this week. In 2009, just over 80 percent of high schoolers graduated within four years; the statewide rate last year was 85.3 percent. The numbers in Portland were a mixed bag: At Deering High School, the rate leaped from 76.5 percent in 2011 to 81.6 percent in 2012, but at Portland High, the graduation rate fell from 83.5 to 73.3 percent. Meanwhile, school systems are facing huge financial challenges on several fronts. In his biennial budget plan, Governor Paul LePage proposed flat-funding for public schools and a cost-sharing arrangement between the state government and municipalities that would require school districts to pay for a portion of teachers’ retirement contributions (currently, 100 percent of those contributions come from state coffers). On the federal level, looming sequestration (a series of automatic cuts set to go into effect March 1) would mean the loss of $2.7 million for the state’s primary and secondary schools (the equivalent of 40 teacher and aide positions, according to the White House Press Office). It was against this multifaceted backdrop that Portland Mayor Michael Brennan unveiled on Monday a new education initiative: Portland ConnectED, a partnership between several high-profile organizations and agencies

in the city, including the Portland Regional Chamber, the United Way of Greater Portland, Southern Maine Community College, and the John T. Gorman Foundation, which focuses on advancing opportunities for disadvantaged young people and families in Maine. Portland ConnectED’s initial efforts will include amping up early childhood education, ensuring children reach grade-level reading proficiency by third grade, improving high school graduation rates, and paving a smooth path between high school graduation and some type of postsecondary education, whether enrollment in a four-year college or pursuit of an associate’s degree. Part of this final goal includes the creation and funding of an endowment “dedicated to supporting post-secondary enrollment, persistence, and completion,” although Brennan doesn’t know quite yet what form that support will take. The details of the endowment, including how much officials hope to raise, are still up in the air. What he is sure of is that Portland ConnectED “will help the community live up to a promise that all residents find a career within the global economy right here in Portland,” where he notes that 42 percent of people over the age of 25 have undergraduate degrees. In other words, we have an entrepreneurial workforce, one that is “able to keep pace with changes in the economy,” he says, and we need to keep growing that demographic in

order to continue luring high-wage, skilled jobs to the region. And it’s not just about the economy, Brennan points out. “This is also about making sure that we have citizens that can participate in the democratic process,” he says, connecting educational achievement with social and civic engagement. Of course there are several disparate programs around Portland that address many of ConnectED’s priorities in their own ways, and this effort aims to combine some of those energies. “When organizations are working together, they are more powerful than organizations working by themselves,” says Tony Cipollone, president and CEO of the Gorman Foundation. Working in partnership will empower “groups to not work in a silo fashion and not compete for scarce resources.” Cipollone is particularly eager to employ hard data — such as socioeconomic and demographic stats — to better inform the partnership’s work. Both Cipollone and Brennan are also excited by the chance to connect with the national Campaign for GradeLevel Reading, which can provide technical and networking assistance in the form of shared best-practices and help tracking outcomes. Ultimately, the mayor — who campaigned in part on an education platform — sees Portland ConnectED as the first major thrust toward his final aim: “I want Portland to be seen as a city of education.” Stay tuned for a second salvo later this spring, when Brennan announces an initiative geared more toward post-secondary academic and research advancement in the Forest City. F In other education news, the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (created by the 2010 post-recession Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) announced last week that it is beginning to gather information from relevant parties (private loan servicers, colleges and universities, financial institutions, and more) regarding student loan affordability. Student loan debt now surpasses credit card and auto loan debts — which in turn influences whether young people can purchase their first homes, where graduates choose to live, and what career paths students pursue in the first place. In particular, the CFPB is interested in helping people who have private student loans — those who owe money to Sallie Mae or a private bank as opposed making payments on a federally guaranteed Stafford or Federal PLUS loan. While federal loan programs offer (underutilized) programs such as income-based repayment, private loan borrowers often face less-flexible terms. According to a press release, “the Bureau is looking for ways that private student loan borrowers can have more flexible repayment options,” including ways to lower monthly payments and implement rehabilitation options for those who default.

politics + other Mistakes

_BY ShAY StewArt-BouleY blackgirlinmaine@gmail.com

Of yahOOs and yahOO!

Like a rip-off “The poor would be driven out of town. The middle class would drive themselves.” Those lines were written back in 2002 by an insightful political commentator of the sort so rare only a single, simple syllable is needed to identify him: Me. With all the due modesty at my disposal, I was addressing a plan, backed by the city of Portland and many of the state’s other major municipalities, to allow them to impose a local-option sales tax. Thanks to my searing indictment, the bill legalizing this outrage was soundly defeated in the Legislature. Or maybe my editorializing wasn’t the deciding factor. Local-option measures had been shot down by overwhelming numbers at least five times before I ever wrote a word on the subject, and the same has occurred an equal number of times since. Although, it could be argued that the lingering impact of my essay — which suggested that if the tax were approved, everyone who could afford to would move to rural towns that were unlikely to approve such a levy, while the poor, unable to manage even a modest increase in their cost of living, would also migrate to less taxing environments — might have resonated through the years. After all, the residents of places I charmingly dubbed Leechfield and North New Porcupine could hardly be expected to embrace legislation that was likely to burden them with an influx of welfare moms, deadbeat dads, and me. As it turned out, I relocated to the puckerbrush anyway, not because of local-option taxes, but because the newspaper for which I wrote that devastating putdown of such a burdensome revenue source rewarded my efforts by terminating my employment.

_BY DAV ID KIS h

Freed of the demands of putting on pants each day and showing up at the office, I moved to a town where property taxes were less than half what I paid in Portland. Of course, municipal services were likewise greatly reduced, but the lack of cops, schools, garbage trucks, and restaurant inspectors was more than offset by the lack of rules about where you could smoke and drink, the absence of trash tossed on my front lawn, and the reduced chances of running into Eliot Cutler. But getting back to local-option taxes. According to news reports, this is supposed to be the year that idea finally comes to fruition. The time is right, a key legislator told the Bangor Daily News. Although that was in 2001. And it wasn’t. “This year, however, things might be different,” said the Kennebec Journal. “Supporters of the current proposal to allow Maine towns to levy a 1 cent local sales tax say it stands a better chance of becoming law than any previous ones.” That was in 2002. It didn’t. “[W]ith both the Legislature and new governor eager to address tax reform, the political climate has changed,” announced the Portland Press Herald. “What was once considered improbable is now possible.” The year: 2003. The reality: Impossible. “This time,” said the Press Herald, “proponents see an opening like never before.” That’s actually from 2013. And no matter how “like never before” the opening is, it’s too small. That’s because a local sales tax would cause any town that passed one to experience not only a loss of smart-mouth columnists and poormouth welfare recipients, but lots of businesses that don’t need the added expense and hassle. What car dealer,

furniture store, appliance retailer, or home-improvement outlet would remain in a place that puts them at a competitive disadvantage? New businesses that would be subject to the increased sales tax would flock to locations content to have the jobs they’d create without taking any additional tax bite. And along the border with New Hampshire, which has no sales tax at all, any municipality that succumbed to the lure of the local option would find its business district as empty as a politician’s promises of tax relief. In short, this idea is a scam. It might produce a few extra bucks for Portland, South Portland, Kittery, and Freeport, with their destination shopping districts. It could possibly turn a buck or two for tourist traps like Bar Harbor, Camden, and Old Orchard Beach. Even my new hometown of Carrabassett Valley could benefit from shaking down skiers each winter for that extra penny. But for more than 400 other municipalities in Maine, the local option means their residents would be paying more but receiving nothing in return — because the money goes to the city or town that collects it, not to the place where the person who paid it lives. “Your property tax bill wouldn’t go down,” wrote that farsighted and about-to-be-canned journalist back in 2002. “In fact, property taxes would almost certainly go up, if for no other reasons than . . . declining state aid to local schools. And you’d have less money to pay those additional taxes because you’d have already been squeezed for another penny every time you spent a buck.” That guy was right back then. He still is. ^

Perhaps you feel otherwise. If so, email me at aldiamon@herniahill.net and I’ll explain why you’re wrong.

f same vein, no group is a monolith, except perhaps the saying goes that no man is an island. in the

for people at the most extreme end of an ideological or religious belief system. however, the fiction that most groups are one way or another — with nary a significant point of contention among its members — is one that has kept so many of us pitted against one another or not trusting each other. it is what allows some minorities to think that all whites believe substantially the same things. or allows whites to lump all african-american or latinos together. then there are women, christians, Muslims, Jews, rich and poor and others — who surely must be in lockstep. it is the fiction that has so many whites fearful of becoming a minority somewhere around 2050. except they’ll still be the single largest group, and only a minority if all the other racial and ethnic groups banded together. only people blinded by bigotry and ignorance could possibly believe such a thing were possible. But people still persist in thinking of groups unlike them as monolithic. even if it’s a group that comprises half the population. Many women got a wake-up call in this regard with Marissa Mayer, the head of Yahoo! who, at 37, is the youngest-ever ceo of a Fortune 500 company. Because, you see, she also happens to be the mother of an infant. So, many women across the US had high hopes that Mayer would bust down the glass ceilings and help set the tone for more family-friendly workspaces in this country. Sadly for those women, though, they are learning that Mayer’s chief function is to make us care about Yahoo! again. needless to say, when Mayer skipped taking maternity leave after giving birth in September 2012, many were stunned. But it didn’t stop there; her latest decision affects all her workers and has many women across the land fuming. For years, Yahoo! has allowed employees to work remotely, but the work-at-home train is coming to an end. Mayer issued a decree to Yahoo! workers who are not based in the office that they have until June 2013 to come back inside or will no longer be employed. it goes without saying that in the United States, for all our talk of family values, it is not necessarily a family-friendly place. We are the only first-world country that offers no mandated, paid work leave. Sure, if you work at a large enough company you can get 12 weeks off without pay thanks to the Family and Medical leave act, but most of us can’t afford to go that long without pay. We need to reevaluate our priorities in this country. however, is it fair for me and others with that view to have pinned all our hopes and dreams on Mayer? nope! Just because a group is disenfranchised in some way doesn’t mean groupthink within it. in this case, the assumption was that any woman who is a mother wants paid time off and believes it is a right — and that she will use her high-powered position to do anything to bring systemic change. however, as woman who happens to also be black, i think such beliefs are misplaced. First off, people are individuals. even black people don’t even agree on whether we should be called black or african-american. nor do we all like Black history Month. We should not ask a select few to speak and act on behalf of the entire group. ever wonder why folks like al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson so often step forward as spokespeople for the entire african-american population? i sure do, and i always want to know where the official White Spokespeople are (hint: there are none). perhaps one of the greatest failures of the diversity push of recent years is the failure to realize that diversity exists within each group. that is what really may prevent us coming together where unity is needed. ^

3D revolution

It’s early, but real creatIvIty Is comIng back to manufacturIng _b y sa m P f eIf l e

latest and greatest makerbot’s replicator 2, released in october, can make items as big as 11 by 6 by 6 inches, and retails for $2199.

Galen Richmond had a problem. He’d found a set of vintage kitchen chairs he really liked, but quite a few of the feet were busted. And that would scratch up the kitchen floor. Richmond, a Portlander who builds playable electrical circuits as the “band” Computer at Sea and is what you’d call a “maker,” also had a solution. “I had one of the remaining feet and I measured that with some calipers,” he says. “It was just a slanted circle with one side bigger than the other. A truncated column on an angle. I took the measurements and I guessed at the angle and built it in SketchUp, then I printed out a version that wasn’t quite right. So I reduced some values and then, on the second go, it really worked well. I mean, it was a pretty simple shape. Like a little hoof.” Wait. What? He printed it out? That’s right. Richmond owns and operates a MakerBot Cupcake, a 3D printer he bought in 2010 and put together himself from a kit. It can print things out about the size of a loaf of bread if you design

it first in a 3D design software program like Google SketchUp (there’s a free version), Blender (also free), or TinkerCAD (totally free). Or you can simply download a design from a free site like Thingiverse. Even Pirate Bay has a section for “physibles” now — that’s the word for 3D designs that can be printed out. If you’ve already heard of 3D printing, it’s probably because of University of Texas student Cody Wilson and his 3D printed gun. Our sensationalist mainstream media has had a field day with this idea of a gun for which you can download a digital file, print out the plastic parts, and then waltz right through your standard metal detector. When Wilson and his Defense Distributed group demonstrated a working 3D printed 30-round clip last month, it got all sorts of attention. 3D printing is scary! We need 3D printing regulations! Of course, no one has yet been able fire a real bullet out of a gun where every single part is 3D printed. The barrel is a pretty sticky wicket.

But projects like the WikiWeapon (as Defense Distributed calls it) will likely continue to get more sophisticated as 3D printers continue to get more sophisticated. An open-source project on Thingiverse has even created the designs for printing out every single piece of a grandfather clock. In the past five years, great leaps have been made in the number of materials you can print in (ceramics and metals, in addition to the traditional variety of plastics), the speed at which you can print, and the size of the printers. Something like the front bumper of a car is now not a problem for the highestend commercial printers. Soon, you’ll be able to use one, too. You could head over on March 2 to the Maine Engineering Week Expo at USM’s field house and check out the Creation Station — or you could wait a bit and play with a printer as part of the first truly open Maine FabLab that will spin up in a couple of weeks at Engine, a gallery and “flex-space” in Biddeford that’s dedicated to promoting the creative economy in

portland.thephoenix.coM | the portland phoenix | March 1, 2013 9

Maine. Letter-of-intent papers were signed just this past weekend. What’s a FabLab? It’s a place where people (like you, if you want) make things, using all manner of digital and analog tools, including 3D printers, but also just soldering irons and conventional lathes and the like, first envisioned and coined by Neil Gershenfeld, director of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, which now helps to organize FabLabs around the world. There are now maybe 150 globally, with about 35 here in the United States. It can be hard to keep track. MIT says the number of labs is currently doubling about every 18 months, and FabLab isn’t even a trademarked name (it’s not even clear what it’s short for — some say “fabrication lab,” while others go with “fabulous lab”) and sometimes they just sort of pop up regardless of MIT’s involvement. There’s actually been a FabLab up in Deer Isle since 2010, thanks to the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, in the summer, you have to pay to get in, and in the winter, well, it’s on Deer Isle . . . See, the idea of a FabLab is tightly comingled with openness. “Anyone can come in and make anything,” says Sarah Boisvert, CEO of Greenwood Tech Strategies and head of Maine FabLab, who is, indeed, working with MIT and the Center for Bits and Atoms. “The power is in two things. One is just having a number of different technologies available to use so you have the right tool for the job, whether it’s a 3D printer or a laser cutter or a milling machine or an Arduino station [just Google it; arduinos are a whole ’nother article]. But the other power is social. A FabLab creates an open and safe and collaborative space for people to conceive . . . And there are people to help you and workshops to get you up to speed.” Or, as Gershenfeld puts it in a mustread article called “How to Make Almost Anything” published in Foreign Affairs last fall, “the real strength of a FabLab is not technical; it is social. The innovative people that drive a knowledge economy share a common trait: by definition, they are not good at following rules. To be able to invent, people need to question assumptions. They need to study and work in environments where it is safe to do that. Advanced educational and research institutions have room for only a few thousand of those people each. By bringing welcoming environments to innovators wherever they are, this digital revolution will make it possible to harness a larger fraction of the planet’s brainpower.” Sounds touchy-feely, right? But Tammy Ackerman, executive director and co-founder of Engine down in Biddeford, is buying what Boisvert and the FabLab concept is selling. “The philosophy of open access and open source is really interesting when you have a town like Biddeford where there are some challenges in terms of education and income,” Ackerman says. “In my wildest dreams, I envision a kid from a more challenged part of the community working with a kid from maybe a private school. I hope it creates that dialog and breaks downs some of those prejudices that we have.” Which has, of course, been the goal of just about every non-profit arts institution since the beginning of non-profit arts institutions. But, the thing is, 3D printing is wicked

fucking cool and, after decades of fits and starts, it might actually be ready to hit the mainstream. Have you seen that video for will.i.am and Britney’s “Scream & Shout”? Well, okay, probably not. But 133 million people have, and one of the primary recurring themes is a 3D printer printing out will.i.am’s head. You know that annoying comic Jeff Dunham who uses the dummies? He prints out replacement parts for them when they break. A large software company called Autodesk has released a free app called 123D Catch that allows you to create printable models of anything just by uploading a bunch of pictures you take with your phone. President Obama mentioned 3D printing in his State of the Union address last month. SXSW will have a session on 3D printing next weekend. And of course, a company called the New York Toy Collective will scan your private parts and 3D print them as sex toys. For real. Plus, for the first time, the big 3D printing companies actually think there’s money to be made in the consumer market. For decades 3D Systems, for example, has focused on the industrial market, creating very expensive machines that manufacturers use to prototype products and parts. Before they set up a whole manufacturing line, they print out a couple to make sure they do what they’re supposed to do. Last year, though, 3D Systems released something called the Cube (that’s what the Maine FabLab will start out with). It’s about the size of one of those K-cup coffee makers and lets you print out things about the size of a coffee cup. And it only costs about $1300. The latest MakerBot product, the Replicator, which can make things about twice as big, costs $1800 or so for the barebones model. The plastic used in basic printers costs maybe $50 a kilogram (it’s a commodity and the price fluctuates) and a small print might cost you $1. That has people predicting imminent mass adoption.

Of course, a New York company will scan your private parts and 3D print them as sex toys. For real.

3D Systems’ CEO, Abe Reichental, likes to talk big picture. “We are in a historical moment here,” he says. “Many external and internal forces are favorably conspiring to create something really new and exciting.” He sees a world where no one would think of going to a store and buying a case for an iPhone or a bracelet or new flatware for the house. Why would you when you could just print those things out? “In the world of the future,” Reichental says, 3D printing “will become democratized and available to anyone.” His company, for example, has purchased a software firm called Hypr3D that does what the aforementioned Autodesk app does, creating printable models from digital images and video. It has also started up a web site, cubify.com, where you can upload and download printable files. It’s sort of the commercial version of Thingiverse.com, which is totally open-source and community-based. Heck, you don’t even need a 3D printer of your own to start printing out your designs. You can just go to Shapeways. com, upload a design, and have them ship you the print. They have thousands and thousands of designs uploaded by people around the globe that you can buy for them to print on demand and ship to you the next day. Want that bracelet, but in a different color? Change the color and print. Want it with your name on it? Type in the letters and print. Bigger? Smaller? Thinner? No problem. There are no limitations on inventory or supply. Boisvert at the Maine FabLab thinks this customization will ultimately drive 3D printing in general. “I really don’t see in the future that everyone will have a 3D printer on their kitchen counter,” she says, disagreeing with some hyperbolic pundits. “There are lots of people with gorgeous kitchens who don’t cook. We have unbelievable machines for cooking, but you have to be inclined to do it.” However, those who do love cooking are the people who are driving all those cooking shows in the desire to make exactly what they want.

Similarly, says Boisvert, “What motivates makers is making something that you can’t get anywhere else. It’s making things for your friends . . . When you do one-offs in a full production line, it’s too expensive. In America, there’s that real desire to be special and exclusive and to have something that nobody else has.” Ackerman at Engine also thinks 3D printing and the FabLab can be an economic kick in the pants for Maine. “There’s nothing that says people can’t come in here and develop the next best mousetrap,” she says, now that barriers of cost have been eliminated. “There’s the ability to be entrepreneurial and create opportunity for themselves.” There, she and Bre Pettis, founder of MakerBot, are in agreement. 3D printing is actually an “alternative to consumerism,” Pettis says. Rather than going shopping for what you need, you make it. Essentially, he says, “our mission at MakerBot is to democratize manufacturing.” And Pettis doesn’t think the kitchen counter is where all the 3D printers will live: “I think it’s more likely your kid will have one on their desk to do their homework with.” But we’re not there yet. Those consumer 3D printers are still very slow. It might take half an hour to print out one chess piece or one part for that cool robot you’ve designed. People flocking to the FabLab when it opens will find they’ll have to wait in line if they think they’re going to print out all the parts to their new cool thingamabob. “There’s a tremendous amount of hype,” Boisvert acknowledges. “The press sometimes acts like it’s Star Trek here today and we’re really not even close.” Yes, people are absolutely designing and printing out prostheses for amputees. Yes, it’s revolutionizing the way people are bringing new products to market. Yes, high-end printers can even print out things with moving parts that emerge whole from the printer. But you’re not doing that with the sub$2000 consumer models. Plus, even while remembering that the technology has come a long way even in the two-plus years since Galen Richmond bought his MakerBot Cupcake, you’d be

wise to listen to his experience: “It took 20,000 times longer than I thought it would to figure out how to use it,” he says. “I didn’t know anything about 3D design or any of the code you’d need to change the 3D designed object into machine code . . . I regularly wanted to destroy it as I was trying to get it to work.” But he did eventually prevail. Sometimes. “I definitely feel like I adopted way too early,” he says, “and I now have this old machine and I was trying to keep current with the new machines and doing all the upgrades, but they just got so advanced. It’s much more exciting to see the new Replicators that Makerbot is making and how quickly they’re coming along. It’s really amazing.” Is now the time to get in on 3D printing? It’s hard to say.

“It kind of makes me think of the gap between early video games you’d find in arcades and console games,” Richmond says, thinking about the question. “It’s like in the early days there was this huge difference between Pole Position in the arcade and what you could get on the Atari at home, but people still bought the consoles, and now the experience is indistinguishable.” And no one goes to the arcade. Maybe the Maine FabLab in Biddeford could be likened to those early arcades. There’s now an unprecedented local opportunity for checking it out 3D printing yourself. Get making. ^

Want to get into 3D printing? here’s what you need:

Fgraphics, for obvious reasons, and unless you have a decent processor and graphics card, you’re going to get frustrated in a hurry.

a deCent COmputer even though software programs like Blender, Google sketchup, tinkercad, and the like are free, they still utilize 3d

don’t try this on your windows 97 machine. luckily, most of the programs now make it pretty easy to export a 3d design as a .obj or .stl file, which most printers will accept and print out. abOut $1500 yes, you can get diy 3d printer kits for cheaper, but this seems to be about the baseline for printers that come pre-assembled and are accessible to the average person who didn’t spend their entire childhood putting together lego sets. 3d systems and MakerBot are the two biggest brands in consumer 3d printers. start there. if lego building is how you did, in fact, spend your childhood, you can get in for as little as $500. Google “reprap” and get down to business. you may have heard of the 3d printing pen that’s on Kickstarter? yeah, that’s not a 3d printer. it’s basically a really cool glue gun that let’s you kind of draw in three dimensions, spitting out a plastic that dries really quickly in the air. But you can’t upload designs into it or anything. a lOt Of patIenCe you’re going to have to work at it. the programs mentioned above are pretty intuitive, but there’s a lot of trial and error before you can get the hang of designing a 3d object that looks how you want it to look. Just because it looks good doesn’t mean it will print well. overhangs don’t really work well — they’ll collapse. thin waists will break or topple over. the printer resolutions are getting better all the time, but thin and delicate structures can be challenging without higher-end machines. Or nOt Go to shapeways.com and buy something. they’ll print it out and send it to you. easy. Go to thingiverse.com and download someone else’s open-source design and print that. easy. the barriers to making 3d printing accessible to the average person who can work an iphone and has some Google skillz are coming down all the time. staples has a print-on-demand service in europe, actually. Just wait about two years and you’ll be able to head down to the Fedex store on Monument square and print out anything you want. probably. _sP

SPATIAL REPRESENTATIONS |

f Troy roberTs & nu-JiVe, at University of Maine — Augusta’s Jewett Auditorium, on March 4. thursday 28 START BUTTON | If you grow weary of associating the ideas of the art world with academic debates about, say, a painting’s gestural marks or a sculptor’s anti-consumerist irony, you might find inspiration in a comparatively lightweight talk today. Working in the culturally ubiquitous language of video game art, the animator and designer Adam deGrandis, a local MECA grad and freelance graphic design artist, shares his thoughts on “The ArT of PlAy” at the latest edition of the school’s lecture series. 12:30 pm in the Osher Hall. (Or take part in a student-run public discussion, profiled on page 14, downstairs at 1 pm.) 522 Congress St., 207.699.5040. TRAVERSE THE FANTASY | In the early ’70s, the guitar-rock group Wishbone Ash fashioned a rather heavy sort of British blues rock from psych elements and the unorthodox feature of twin lead guitarists who played in tandem. This resulted in the dreamily progressive hard rock album Argus in 1972, their best. Keeping an armory of rock and roll classics they revisit in their live set, the band’s

studio output over recent decades has shown an unusual evolution for such groups, exploring the guitar’s more ambiently new age capacities and even — with seemingly no regard for commercial appeal — marrying it to trance and dubstep. Still led by 63-yearold Andy Powell, the group hit the Tupelo Music Hall as part of a two week US tour, where they play the entirety of Argus. 8 pm, $30. 2 Young Road in Londonderry, NH. 603.437.5100. CONSCIENCE COOL | Once a member of the influential hip hop duo Blackstar (with Mos Def) and, lesser known, an experimental theater student, the Brooklyn posi-rapper TAlib KWeli headlines a night of hip hop at the Port City Music Hall, anticipating the release of Prisoner of Consciousness, his sixth solo album. More than 15 years into his career, Kweli holds the rare distinction of being one of the most popular and socially with-it rappers in the country, calling out Tea Party libertarians on his last record Gutter Rainbows and speaking out against New York’s racially charged stop-andfrisk law. With Houston’s purple rapper Corey Mo and locals eyenine and sAndbAg. 9 pm, $20 at 504 Congress St., 207.899.4990.

Meanwhile, SPACE Gallery collects the work of four very different visual artists. The fearless Midcoast artist, educator, and activist nATAshA MAyers shows a collection of hand-painted postcards that double as her witty, snapshot commentaries on politics and culture. The sparse, bleakly narrative paintings and drawings of Anne buCKWAlTer invite intrigue and ruminations of societal fallout. Trompe l’oeil artist CArly gloVinsKi, with a deeper tack of her usual mode of trickery, fashions an alternate front window dressing from countless sections of colored pencil. And the gallery annex contains “sculptural situations” by Jeffrey KurosAKi And TArA PelleTier, which delve into living systems by exploring the schema of celestial movements. A reception for all starts at 5 pm. 538 Congress St. 207.828.5600. GUY WITH ABS | Though presumably no Portland club could accommodate him, the singer/cute kid/ carefully-managed-icon AAron CArTer, younger brother to Backstreet Boy Nick Carter who went and grew up, gives some sort of performance at the Memory Lane Music Hall. With others, and a notinsignificant cover ($18). 35 Blake Rd in Standish, 207.642.2345. DOSE OF THUNDER | Surly, unapologetic, Rat-distorted rock music is right at home at certain venues, which is yet another reason to appreciate Mathew’s. The groups lefT on The ouTside, Misgyded, render,

and elexTACy (that’s a neologism marrying electric ecstasy, if you needed help) perform at 8 pm. $5 at 133 Free St. 207.253.1812. QUITE A COCKTAIL | The art-rock/ post-punk/performance art group hi Tiger haven’t played in a while, working as they are on their second album, due in the spring. But they do play tonight, with the New York trip-hop/folk artist KAlen, whose work is noirishly jazz-inflected and lyric-driven, and the personable rock and roll of Boston’s ChrisTiAn MCneill, who hails from Ireland. 7 pm at 575 Congress St., 207.879.8988.

saturday 2 SHE’S BACK | If you haven’t yet seen lAdy lAMb The beeKeePer’s video for her song “The Nothing Part II,” currently virally exploding at SPIN.com, you have your next five minutes cut out for you. The little Brunswick-born diva (she said it first — check this writer’s interview with her on page 18 and online) unleashed the monumental album Ripely Pine, which says here i am in countless impressive ways, this month on Ba Da Bing Records. She celebrates its release tonight at SPACE Gallery, her old haunt, with fellow Brooklyners xeniA rubinos and Cuddle MAgiC, who help to comprise her backing band. 8:30 pm, $12. POST-FM | The slick, Californian indie band Milo greene, who

friday 1 LIKE JELLY ROLL | The second of

three nights of jam-style shows, the singers Chris bArron (of the Spin Doctors) and John PoPPer (of Blues Traveler) get loose with several combinations of local musicians on two Portland stages. The first comes at the Big Easy, where the two are supported by the band the shAKes (7 pm, $12 at 55 Market St., 207.775.2266), while the second, supported by the fogCuTTers, JAson sPooner bAnd, and several other players, goes down at Port City Music Hall at 9-ish. That one’s $20. The whole three day endeavor’s being dubbed the F.O.G. Festival. See our listings for even more. FREE FOR ALL | Amid the Art Walk assemblies, you might stop in on pop-punk songwriter KurT bAKer, one of Portland’s most prolific, as he plays acoustically at the Portland Public Library at 5:30. The Meg Perry Center foments a sense of community with a “10 MinuTe VArieTy shoW,” which testifies to the diversity of local artists with spots by burlesque artist rosie riMJob, poet eVAn MCVeigh, visual artist WilliAM hessiAn, and scores more. 5-9 pm and by donation at

The Peninsula School is a weekly art discussion forum open to the public launched within the Institute of Contemporary Art at MECA by graduate sculpture student Rob Doane. The Phoenix spoke with Doane and ICA director Daniel Fuller about the project; here’s an edited transcript.

What Was the impetus for starting something like the peninsula school? What is its objective? rD I started the Peninsula School to closely

examine work of artists that are recent graduates of either undergraduate or MFA programs, with the intention of identifying the path of their success in relation to the artistic work and aspirations of the participants in the school.

Df Rob’s idea also came from the desire to have creative interactions and dialogues with his peers. The school is a temporary experiment in the mutual exchange of learning. The art world that these students will be graduating into is big, complex and often confusing; I believe that it is incredibly wise and ambitious of them to take agency and create this platform within their community. I asked Rob to look into numerous important artist-led projects that revolve around varied pedagogical strategies such as Copenhagen Free University, the Mountain School of Arts, and Mildred’s Lane; and then my role slid far to the back seat. The ICA is solely the facilitator — an institutional support system for the curriculum committee. Who are some of the artists you’ve DiscusseD so far? What DreW you to consiDer them, anD coulD you aDDress some of the Discussion points that came up? rD The Peninsula School is currently dis-

disposable nature as essential to his work. With (his piece) “Triumph,” for example, he walks the fine line between societal critique and casting judgment upon consumerism.

are the Works anD artists selecteD for stuDy restricteD to any meDia or material? rD So far the school has discussed video,

performance, painting, sculpture, and writing of press releases from contemporary art galleries. Our next phase of programming will include photography. The Peninsula School adopts a trans-disciplinary approach to its programming and views traditional discipline distinctions as obsolete. Alex Da Corte incorporates video and painting as well as sculpture into his artistic practice. The school discussed Graeme Patterson, an artist who works with installation, performance, animation, and sculpture. The ability to create work via the appropriate medium for the content is a paramount for the artists studied by the Peninsula School.

Df I will say that sculptors should never just look at sculptors. Contemporary art, regardless of the medium you are trained in, is a transdisciplinary business. Creative ideas go far beyond the boundaries of the materials used to express them. What sort of interest or engagement has the school haD With the non-meca public? Df This is an art school created by students,

but it is not solely for students. Outside perspectives and expertise are essential to the learning process. We certainly invite anyone who would like to be part of the dialogue to join us on Thursdays. My great hope is that the project extends far beyond its life here in the ICA and continues through MECA’s halls and Portland’s coffee shops. ^

theater Mattress revival lyrIc doesn’t take these tales lyIng down _by Megan gr u MblI ng

ENTERTAINING CARICATURES It is a fairy tale, after all. Fairy tales seem to have an enduring appeal — especially when they’re tweaked to look just a little bit less rarified. Hence audiences’ continued affection for the 1959 musical Once Upon a Mattress, whose Prince is not a hero and whose tomboy Princess was raised in a swamp. It plays now at Lyric Music Theatre, where Michael Donovan directs a charming revival of the irreverent little love story about a Princess and a fateful Pea. That pea, you’ll recall, is part of the latest in a series of impossible tests that Queen Aggravain (Patricia Davis), a coddling terror of a matriarch, has devised to keep her infantilized but big-hearted son, Prince Dauntless (John Robinson), from marrying. Aggravain has ruled that only a true princess — “delicate as a dragonfly’s wing,” as the lyric goes — will be getting hitched to Dauntless. And not only that, but her impossible tests for girls also keep everybody else at court from matrimony, a particularly time-sensitive problem for Lady Larken (Alison Bogannan) since she snuck off with Sir Harry (Bryan Robicheau) to, ahem, “watch the sun go down.” But the latest princess, Princess Winnifred (Crystal Giordano), is a force of nature who just might, with a little help, be able to beat Aggravain at her own game. With assistance from the canny Minstrel (the antic and entertaining Vince Knue), the Jester (Joe Swenson), and Dauntless’s mute rascal of a dad, King Sextimus (John Schrank) the powers of love might finally prevail. At the crazy heart of this show, Giordano’s Princess Winnifred (or Fred, as she becomes known) is a beautifully loony and boisterous delight with a big, supple, wide-ranging voice. The song in which she tells of her own kingdom, “The Swamps of Home,” sung fetchingly under a green gel, is deep, fluid, and filled with deliciously slippery elisions. As the tension ratchets up at court, and as Fred reels through puppy-love,

dancing, inebriation, and exhaustion, her physical comedy is ever more of a gas. She’s superbly outfitted in greens, dull golds, and earth-tones, and a few thick locks of her dark hair — I just love this part –are dyed dark green. Fred and everybody else are, of course, blithely overblown caricatures, and both actors and costumes (which are sumptuous, in Louise Keezer’s impressive design) play them up entertainingly. Dauntless, a rosy-cheeked grinner with a platinum page-boy, wears some seriously fun medieval-glam garb — where oh where did they find those gorgeously dusky-sparkly tights he wears under his royal shorts? Robinson milks his duds for all they’re worth with his merry vamping — now effeminate, now boyish — and he looks great doing it. In fact, everyone at court looks great in their jewel-tones, an oftchanging array of wine-red and sapphire. Meanwhile, Schrank’s mute King Sextimus chases futilely after ladies in princely short-pants and a cartoon cushion of a crown, shrugging and pouting endearingly like a big, pasty child. He winningly mimes his courtly concern for the anxious Lady Larken, whom Bogannan plays as sweet and spunky. Though her voice sometimes strains a bit in Larken’s higher registers, she’s a dynamic presence on stage, and she has an appealing rapport with Sir Harry, who in Robicheau’s hands has a great knightly earnestness and a strong voice. And as for the royal couple to-be, Giordano and Robinson’s oddball buoyancy makes their union one to root for. “Happily ever after” might not work out as elegantly as in the storybook anymore, as Fred belts out in frustration, but this quirky romance still makes it look pretty good. ^

Greatest Hits Tour with special guest Holly Williams

music

indie Audible emotion Lady LamB weaNs a fuLL-LeNgth aLBum _B y NichoL as schr oed e r The haunting and quasi-S&Mthemed video for her song “The Nothing Part II” (directed by Portland filmmaker David Meiklejohn) premieres on SPIN.com this week. We caught up with New York songwriter (and Brunswick native) Aly Spaltro, a/k/a Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, before the record release of her mighty CD Ripely Pine, March 2 at SPACE Gallery. Here’s an edited transcript; read the full conversation online at Portland.thePhoenix.com.

I feel lIke RIPELY PINE IS the Sort of record where Stuff mIght come out after a few weekS that doeSn’t the fIrSt couple lIStenS. Yeah, I hope that

for people it’s sort of like Arrested Development. You ever watch that? I’ve seen that show so many times and I love it to death. I used to work at the video store (Bart and Greg’s DVD Explosion in Brunswick) and would just pop it in all the time and would constantly find new jokes I had missed. That’s how I’m hoping the record is: that people will be like, Oh, I didn’t realize there was a clarinet there!

Proudly supported by

the album contaInS Some updated verSIonS of SongS from MaMMoth SwooN, your 2010 record. can you Speak a lIttle bIt about how they may have changed? Yeah. I always considered Mammoth Swoon a sort of demo CD specifically for Portland, Maine. When I moved to New York a couple years ago I needed something to sell the content that people were seeing in my live show. But I always knew that the songs weren’t finished. That record is sort of a mishmash of stuff — some live tracks, some radio recordings, and then some bedroom recordings. I always knew that they were nowhere near defined fully. (For Ripely Pine) I chose 12 songs that were begging to be finalized to me, that I wanted to close the book on.

there are a ton of ImageS that the lyrIcS evoke, but one that really Stuck out to me IS the deer In “regardIng aScendIng the StaIrS.” It Seemed very vIvId, and I’m curIouS If you don’t mInd SpeakIng about that one. Sure. This’ll be the first

time I’ve talked about it. That part is really one of the more emotional things on the record. In fact, I cried during that vocal take. That weird breathing sound in my voice when I’m humming is me holding back tears. It’s something that happened to me that’s a similar experience to seeing a deer dying in the woods. (Read the full story online.)

you SaId you’ve come up wIth the conceptS for your album art, vIdeoS, and preSS photoS. IS that SomethIng you’ve had to wreStle for SInce SIgnIng to a label? do they let you do your own thIng? At the risk of sounding like a

complete diva, I don’t think I could work with people that didn’t let me do my own thing. I’m really lucky that everyone on my team is so supportive and really trusts my taste. It’s been really nice to say Okay guys, here are the new press photos. I’m like, messed up with pie, I hope you like it! Or being like, Okay, here’s my video idea, it’s really really weird! I’m not gonna tell you that much about it, but I’ll send you the link! Honestly, I could not be in a situation where people were trying to tell me what to do or look like. That would not work for me. ^

your SongS are very lyrIcdrIven, and the muSIc doeS a really good job of IlluStratIng the lyrIcS. they alSo Struck me aS very dIarIStIc, and I waS wonderIng: do you keep a dIary? No. A lot of the lyrics for this record were written without being put to paper. Some of them were from notebooks, but most were taken from streams of consciousness. Or I would write the music to a song — like “Crane Your Neck” or “Bird Balloons” — in the basement of the

It can get manic, but that’s better than the alternative.

YoU CAn dAnCe If YoU wAnt to Sam Shain and the Scolded dogS won’t mind No, seriously, have you been up to Hallowell? The little burgh on the Kennebec may put out as many records this year as Portland (hyperbole is fun), and it’s easy to have a good time when everyone else is happy just to be out with friends, drinking, and listening to live music. You should consider one of those staycation thingees. Sam Shain and the Scolded Dogs are a presence there, Shain hosting music trivia at Higher Grounds even. And they might be the closest thing going to an embodiment of the town itself. They’re fun, a little goofy, easy to dance to, but serious when they want to be. After a fair bit of live gigging, they released this winter their first record, A Song We Know, with heavy doses of life in the bars and being single. They certainly aren’t shy. Right out of the gate, “If You Can Call that Dancin’” isn’t far from the Bee Gees, with a paired falsetto and bass delivery in the chorus that’s silly on purpose (I’m pretty sure) and an implied threat they could break into “we got the funk, gotta have that funk” at any moment. Steve Guilmet’s keyboard sound, captured again by Bob Colwell at the Root Cellar (that’s three albums so far this year in this space), has a ton of body and helps them pull the song off without it seeming like a costume. Later, in “The Riverbank” Guilmet

FwAX tABLet

travels as far as you can go to the right on the keyboard with a crisp tone that keeps even the highest notes musical. The open here is downright uplifting, with major chords that seem to provide an actual light source, then Shain undercuts it with a narrative about backwoods sex: “He gets his lovin’ by riverbank.” There’s plenty of “Feelin’ Alright” Traffic, too. That jazzy undertone comes from a light hand on the high hat from Josh Shain, especially on a tune like “Great Recession,” which recalls Medeski Martin and Wood, Shain’s voice like a wickawicka guitar part. It’s well done to make it timely and pointed, but grounded and forthright: “Because I got nowhere to bring you home baby/Yeah I live somewhere, but I gotta stay away.” Dan Corbett’s bass is active there and throughout the disc. They have a recurring feature where the bass and often another instrument run through seven-note (or so) riffs that climb up and crest and repeat for measures at a time. It may be more fun to play than to listen to, but it’s better if you’re stoned, I’m sure. “A Song We Know” has it, too, along with a nicely delivered quick repetition of “do you know this, do you know that, do you know anything?” and a ton of headbob. And “Talk to You,” where that bass riff is joined by a pick up line (“let’s make this a private party”) and a weighty sax part from Adam Soosman.

Whistle (or) you work

F there were many questions answered with the surprisingly substantial profile on the Whistler in the press herald this past week, including the somewhat disturbing news that citizens and/or business owners have several times called the police on the guy, which led to a recent court order stipulating that he must remain in motion while he whistles in public. as we now know, the Whistler is a 32-year-old man from Westbrook. he buses into town each morning to spend the day on a seemingly unquenchable stroll, during which he whistles loudly (and rather atonally) along to music in his earbuds. Which means that if you think about it, the Whistler is arguably the person most dedicated to music production in all of portland (albeit in a deeply antiquated and classical sense). his recent wrinkles with the law

enliven a number of social and civic concerns. even leaving aside the well-documented emotional benefits of whistling, the primary one, of course, is that while we’ve all had days we’re not in the mood to encounter him, attempting to have the Whistler arraigned on the grounds of disrupting commercial activity seems an oddly draconian measure. if whistling is one, it doesn’t take much to imagine what other sorts of public activities might be deemed anti-business. Second, we might see the vilification of the Whistler as a corollary to the current debate over congress Square plaza, in which the forces of private property and consumer rights are invoked to correct or otherwise suspend the notion of public space. Basically, if we live in a polity that rightfully allows commercial kiosks and unrelenting Bible-

You’ll hear similarities with the likes of Lyle Divinsky and Model Airplane and Sly-Chi, but when Shain and his Dogs are going best, there’s a frenetic quality to what they’re doing, keeping the energy bright. It can get manic, but that’s better than the alternative. Disco that drags seems beside the point. “Creep Juice” is more of a jazzy ballad, with congas from Alfred Lund and Soosman this time lending some Kenny G on the tenor sax. The whole “creep juice” repetition and bending in the chorus was not my personal bag. Your icky meter may vary. Truly, they save their best material for last. “Player Piano” is an inside-baseball take on being a local band, when a player piano gets paid as well as a four-piece band, and the build sort of stumbles from the open like a player piano revving up. At the very least, there’s good consolation in knowing Shain has something to say. At the finish, “Bath Salt Shuffle” again is solidly contemporary and serious without taking itself too seriously, and

Zach Jones

thumping sermonizers in public squares, we’re going to have to make room for this one weird music fan, too. F Zach Jones, portland’s eminent soul singer and songwriter, takes his act to los angeles this month, where he’ll continue working on the follow-up to his magnificent r&B revival record Things Were Better. there’s a slim silver lining in that we’ll be better able to distinguish the other

gives new meaning to “if you can call that dancing.” It’s got great pace, and while the harmonica will make you think of Blues Traveler that’s not necessarily a bad thing. “If you’re tired of hand sanitizer/If you want bugs crawling in your skin/Do the bath salts.” That’s quite the sales pitch. Make sure you stick around for the keyboard solo, too. It’s a rave-up. Just like the album as a whole. It may not move the dial of music history forward, but it’s a pretty good time for a Friday night. ^

two musicians in town with the same name, but that’s the only upside we can muster. We wish him the best. ditto with rapper a-Frame, frequent collaborator with dJ mike clouds, who is reportedly moving to ohio. F lady lamb the beekeeper wasn’t the only Mainer to puncture the mainstream press this week (see page 18). drone-folk squadron herbcraFt, captained by l’animaux tryst impresario Matt lajoie, were treated to stream of their new Woodsist lp The Astral Body Electric on Spin.com. While it’s weird to see such deeply ensconced undergrounders adrift on a major circuit (click anywhere else on the page and you’ll be transported to a hotel booking webpage for embassy Suites — trippy!), a study of the six ploddingly psychedelic tracks indicates that while their music is a well-honed illustration of a truly off-grid lifestyle, this stuff really doesn’t sound that disarmingly far from contemporary rock. it’s basically Spiritualized without the narcissism or the death drive. The Astral Body Electric is out March 5.

JAMES BOND! “Skyfall” comes out this week, a movie that thoroughly satisfied both hardcore Bond fans and casual viewers alike, effectively revitalizing the endless series. Having been raised in the nonetoo-respected Roger Moore era of 007, I simply don’t associate adjectives like “intense” and “reasonably intelligent” with this particular series. I like my Bond punny, gimmicky, and cartoonish, and though I’ll freely admit that nostalgia trumps quality for me every time, the Moore Bonds put me instantly at ease, and I can never join in the near-universal critical drubbing they routinely attract. Honestly I like ‘em all, but these are my favorites. Live and Let Die – This is the first Bond film to star Moore, and it wastes no time in letting audiences know what type of shenanigans they’ll be confronted with for the next decade or so. Bond fights crocodiles, a marching band, a one-armed henchman named Tee Hee Johnson, and finally Yaphet Kotto, who (spoiler alert) makes his maker courtesy of a shark gun, which causes him to literally inflate and explode like a balloon. Also, there’s an awesome boat race. And it thinks it’s a blaxploitation movie for some reason. It’s nuts, and I love it. Moonraker – Of all the Bond movies, “Moonraker” is probably the most poorly reviewed, but come on, it’s James Bond Goes to Space. I remember there actually being “Moonraker” trading cards with gum in them that you could buy (but probably didn’t). Someone tries to kill Bond by Gravitronning him to death, there’s a big laser fight, and that “Jaws” guy shows up and fights Bond on a ski lift. It’s just like with the new Batman movies: If you want classy filmmaking, detailed backstory, and state of the art effects, watch the Christopher Nolan movies, or the Connery or Craig Bonds. If you want to have fun watching a goofy kids comic come to life, there’s always Adam West and Roger Moore, and I for one am eternally grateful.

it’s very relevant, and it’s an emerging area of law,” said organizer Agnieszka Pinette, the editor-in-chief of the Maine Law Review, whose spring volume features the papers legal scholars gave at the colloquium. “And it’s not really taught in the typical law school curriculum. Some schools are starting to pick up the thread, but at this point, it’s a fairly new topic.” Don’t confuse “food law” with “agricultural law,” taught by law schools in the Midwest for decades, to Cargill and Monsanto’s benefit. This is public interest, environmental law for those who grow their own food and know where it comes from. This locavore ethos extended to lunch at the daylong event, a surprisingly meager (for $10) Rosemont Market spread of a baguette end of free-range chicken salad, slaw or roasted potatoes, a cookie, and an apple. Refreshments were rounded out with java from Coffee By Design and treats from East End Cupcakes. No one starved. Sarah Schindler, a vegan, urban gardener and popular young professor at the University of Maine School of Law, embodies this new direction. She recently published a paper, “Of Backyard Chickens and Front Yard Gardens: The Conflict Between Local Governments and Locavores,” and moderated a panel that included this policy

debate. Jaime Bouvier, who grew up in Lewiston and now lives in Cleveland, suggested the First Amendment protects symbolic gardens. The White House Garden, she noted, is the national symbol of how far this movement has come, PROTECTING GARDENS Lewiston native Jaime Bouvier delivers a thanks, of course, talk arguing that gardening is protected by the First amendment; to the campaign of uMaine Law professor sarah schindler is among those listening.

Do front-yard gardens and backyard chicken coops, as leading symbols of our thriving food movement, deserve First Amendment protection, much as black armbands did during the Vietnam War? Does a focus on “food miles” distract from the urgent need to reduce the greenhouse gases agriculture emits as we strive to feed a world population of 9 billion by 2050? Should the government mandate vegetable consumption — just as New York City and others have enacted bans on Big Gulps and trans fats? These were among the pressing questions raised at the University of Maine Law Review’s annual symposium, which this year addressed “Local Food/Global Food: Do We Have What It Takes to Reinvent the US Food System.” About 100 attendees, mostly law students and lawyers in suits, plus some farm folks in jeans, convened in the Portland High School auditorium last Saturday for three lively panels on flaws and proposed fixes in federal food regulations, food sovereignty versus public health at the local level, and how governments should cope with emerging trends such as climate change, farmland succession, and the need to build a stronger New England food system. “It’s not only a fun topic to cover, but

Movie reviews in brief

xW PHAnTOM 97M | nickelodeon + westbrook cineMagic + lewiston + sMitty’s biddeford Simultaneously bizarre and banal, director Todd Robinson’s military procedural seems designed to please no one. Ed Harris and William Fichtner star as the commanders of a Cold War–era Soviet sub, making a final journey before retirement. What starts as a training mission ends up as a struggle for the nukes on board, with our stars battling — New York/New Jersey accents in tow, hilariously — for the fate of the world. Borderline impenetrable jargon-based dialogue sets the static tone, but it’s broken by melodramatic overtures — this is the kind of movie where someone uses their dying breath to say, “You have to pick a side.” And then there are Harris’s drunken epileptic incidents; overloaded on rum and racked with guilt, his hallucinations leave

Phantom

Phantom looking like a Kenneth Anger movie. The crass Americanization invalidates the detail; the silly melodrama invalidates the realism of the script; and a climactic spiritualist conceit leaves it all feeling like self-parody. Crimson Tide this isn’t.

_Jake Mulligan

xx QUARTeT 99M | clarks pond + nickelodeon + eveningstar + railroad square At age 75, actor Dustin Hoffman had graduated at last to directing a film, and he takes it slow and easy with his initial foray

behind the camera. Very veteran British actors nibble on the scenery in this pleasant, harmless adaptation of Ronald Harwood’s 1999 middlebrow play set in a retirement home for ex-opera performers. As one can surmise, each character is delightfully eccentric, none more so than the self-absorbed one-time diva (reliable Maggie Smith) whose sudden arrival at the home causes havoc. Will she, or won’t she, have a rapprochement with the ex-husband (Tom Courtenay) whom she walked out on? Will she, or won’t she, join the others on stage in a quartet rendition of Verdi? Not to worry: it all unravels splendidly in this teeth-in-aglass comedic drama.

idles through this Ric Roman Waugh–directed action thriller as John Matthews, a construction company owner who infiltrates a cartel to persuade the DEA to set free his wrongly imprisoned son. Johnson’s character is more vulnerable than his usual brute — Matthews is mugged, held at gunpoint, forced to do drugs — but his flinty expressions and delivery don’t show it. More versatile is Jon Bernthal as one of his employees, a tense two-striker who’s trying to stay clean but can’t resist introducing his boss to the back alleys when money’s on the table. Though Waugh adeptly raises the stakes as the duo’s schemes snowball, the tension dissipates like a plume of spilled cocaine during the too-brief final shootout. But hey, at least you get to see the Rock blast thugs with a shotgun and maneuver a semi with blownout tires — at the same time.

Puzzle solution at oom thePhoenix.com/recr

_by syMbo line Da i This week’s lunar phase turns a crucial corner: that last quarter moon onward is about finishing up projects that began in early February and climaxed February 25 or so. And a word to the wise: This week, Venus and Mars continue moving towards harmony (they’re both in Pisces now). Scorpio, Cancer, and Pisces could be having unexpected flirtations with unlikely candidates. This could lead to something serious or just be a preview of “spring fever.” Okay? And don’t forget: Mercury is retrograde for the first half of Mars. If you’re having computer problems, directional challenges, or chargers that don’t work — you’re in tune with Mercury. And yes, that is not fun.

thursday february 28

friday march 1 6

saturday march 2

Waning moon in Scorpio. Scorpio moons on the weekend are always sensual and provocative. even the most conservative folks may find themselves playing footsie under the table. also a fine day to cut to the chase. Virgo, libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, capricorn, pisces, aries, Gemini and cancer: you’re able to see beneath the surface — which could be alarming. taurus, leo, and aquarius: hold off on decision-making. 23

sunday march 3

Waning moon in Scorpio; moon void-of-course 4:19 am until 4:11 pm, when it moves into Sagittarius. despite a Voc moon, this is a good time to work with finances, inventory, cost-cutting, or manipulating information. also excellent for a hot date — or data! Virgo, libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, capricorn, pisces, aries, Gemini and cancer: dig beneath the surface. taurus, leo, and aquarius: make time for being creative — or cleaning a closet.

monday march 4 9

last quarter moon in Sagittarius. a turning point for decisions made on or around February 26 — or for business that began around February 9. a great day for planning travel or sharing some humor. also, a fine day for mystics, or those who look for the conspiracy. Gemini, Virgo, and pisces: this could be you! libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, capricorn, aquarius, taurus, cancer, leo, and aries: keep everything on the lighter side — deflect super-serious inquiries. 25

tuesday march 5 10

Waning moon in Sagittarius; moon void-of-course 10:28 am until 7:14 pm, when it moves into capricorn. a good day for planning a trip that’s long-overdue, or for delving into some mode of thought that’s arcane or that relates to world religions. adventures closer to home could include exotic cuisine — this sounds yummy to libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, capricorn, aquarius, taurus, cancer, leo, and aries. Gemini, Virgo, and pisces: hold off on decisions. 26

Wednesday march 6 11

Waning moon in capricorn mid-afternoon onward is super for construction projects. Building and structure is key — get your plans together, and then make your move. this will be easier for capricorn, taurus, and Virgo; but libra, Gemini, aquarius, Sagittarius, and leo also have a strategic advantage. pisces, cancer, Scorpio, aries: everything is slower than you might like it to be. have patience, and put up your feet and relax, why don’t you? 27

moon Keys

Waning moon in libra; moon void-of-course until 12:30 pm, when it moves into Scorpio. a morning of “information overload,” and it’s easy to grab hold of the wrong end of the stick (think twice before you post on social media). Virgo, libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, capricorn, Gemini, and pisces: from the silly to the profound, in one short step. cancer, capricorn, aries, taurus, and leo: changeability (in your heart) is in the air.

Waning moon in libra; moon void-of-course 3:37 am until 12:30 pm Friday. an a generous day, as moon and Jupiter are in harmony, while Venus, Mars, and the sun prompt romantic longings for Scorpio, pisces, and cancer. however, the Voc moon means some signs may need to “talk themselves out” this weekend (capricorn, aries, aquarius, Gemini, leo, taurus, Virgo, Sagittarius, libra).

This horoscope traces the passage of the moon, not the sun. Simply read from day to day to watch the moon’s influence as it moves through the signs of the zodiac. | When the moon is in your sun sign, you are beginning a new 28-day emotional cycle, and you can expect increased insight and emotionality. When the moon moves into the sun sign opposite yours (see below), expect to have difficulties dealing with the opposite sex, family, or authority figures; social or romantic activities will not be at their best. | When the moon is in Aries, it opposes Libra, and vice versa. Other oppositions are Taurus/Scorpio, Gemini/Sagittarius, Cancer/Capricorn, Leo/Aquarius, and Virgo/Pisces. The moon stays in each sign approximately two and a half days. | As the moon moves between signs, it will sometimes become “void of course,” making no major angles to planets. Consider this a null time and try to avoid making or implementing decisions if you can. But it’s great for brainstorming. | For Symboline Dai’s sun-sign horoscopes and advice column, visit our Web site at thePhoenix.com. Symboline Dai can be reached at sally@moonsigns.net.
