unions so it seems only logical that thoseunions or the Democratic GovernorsAssociation or someone else would decidethat beating Rauner in a primary would beway more cost-effective than letting himout of that tight ideological Republican penand into the wide-open spaces of a generalelection
This sort of thing has never been donestatewide here before but it was pulled offlast year in Missouri by US Senator ClaireMcCaskill and the national Democratic
Senate campaign committee when they spenta combined $17 million in the Republicanprimary to help nominate Tea Partier ToddAkin who then went on to self-immolatein the fall campaign The Democrats spentmore money on Akinrsquos behalf than Akinspent on his own campaign
So could it happen hereWell nobodyrsquos talking yet but it sure
looks like a good investment particularlyfor the public-employee unions Raunerhas talked openly of shutting down stategovernment to bring AFSCME to its kneesHis pension-reform ideas include tossing outthe defined-benefit program and switchingto a defined contribution He opposesteacher tenure the right of teachers to strike
may need to step in to snuff out Raunerrsquoscampaign before he makes it out of theprimary And Democrat-affiliated groupsappear to be the most logical source of thatcash
As polling has shown Rauner has someserious negative issues in a GOP primarythat might be okay with voters in a generalelection
His close affiliation with Chicago MayorRahm Emanuel for instance has killernegative numbers among Republicans but
it wonrsquot exactly be easy for Governor PatQuinn to use that against the guy in thegeneral election
Rauner and his wife have both supportedDemocratic candidates which isnrsquot good in aRepublican contest but is a nice positive oncethe primary is over
Because Rauner is pro choice and wonrsquotsay where he stands on gay marriage he hasleft himself more than enough wiggle roomto pretty easily pivot toward supporting gaymarriage once the GOP primary is over
In other words if Rauner wins theprimary he could be a nightmare for theDemocratic Party
Rauner is strongly anti-union and hasall but vowed to break the public-employee
Bruce Rauner has closer ties to topDemocrats in this state and nationthan many Democrats do is pro-
choice and is reluctant to say where hestands on gay marriage so you wouldnrsquotthink hersquod have much chance at winning aRepublican primary for governor
But the retired multi-millionaire isrunning a pretty smart campaign and raisingtons more money than his opponents sonobody can really count him out
Bill Brady told the Chicago Sun-Times
hersquod raised a mere $75000 this past quarterwhich ended September 30 The Tribune reported that state Senator Kirk Dillard hadraised just $239000 in large contributionsduring the third quarter but hersquos stillcarrying quite a lot of debt from his failed2010 campaign for governor Treasurer DanRutherford says he raised $333000 andhas $12 million in the bank Rauner onthe other hand raised more than a milliondollars during the quarter and about $3million since he kicked off his campaignAnd he has so much personal wealth that hecould spend lots lots more
More than a few Democrats and evensome Republicans wary of Rauner are sayingthat somebody else with deep pockets

and on and on and on He also favors ldquorightto workrdquo which all of labor hates
And Quinn would probably prefer it aswell The wealthy Rauner could wind upspending a kingrsquos ransom in the generalelection Hersquos also close enough to Emanuelto make Quinn more than a little nervous
So spending a few million dollars beforenext March to expose Raunerrsquos more liberalDemocratic side to Republican-primary
voters would be a whole lot cheaper than thetens of millions it could cost to defend the
slot in the November general electionItrsquos not that Quinn would get off easy with
any of the other three RepublicansAnd itrsquos not that Rauner would be a slam-
dunk winner eitherQuinn could use the playbook that
Obama used against his wealthy GOPopponent last year ndash a playbook that Obamaborrowed from Quinnrsquos own 2010 raceagainst Brady
But Rauner appears to pose the biggestrisk to the Democrats because of hismoderate stances on social issues hisChicago ties and most of all his money

Sandra Steingraber October 22 at St Ambrose University
Personal Science
by Jeff Ignatius
jeffrcreadercom
Sandra Steingraber has bachelor anddoctorate degrees in biology and amasterrsquos in creative writing ldquoI had
long been a biologist by day and poet bynightrdquo she said in a phone interview ear-lier this month ldquoI kind of kept my writ-ing world and my science world separaterdquo
And that was herintention when sheset out to write thebook that wouldbecome LivingDownstream ldquoIt wasgoing to representmy best attemptas a biologist tosummarize the links
between cancer and the environmentrdquo shesaid
But the poet in her ended uptransforming the project into somethingunusual a deeply personal story
intertwined with a scientific one asSteingraber discusses her own cancer inthe context of the troubling relationshipbetween chemical pollution and thedisease The hook of the book she said isldquothe life behind one of the data points inthe cancer registry namely my ownrdquo
Steingraber will be speaking at StAmbrose University on October 22 aspart of the schoolrsquos Sustainability Projectwhich includes events throughout the
academic year Her lecture she said willapply the ldquoconceptual themerdquo of LivingDownstream (originally published in 1997with a second edition and film adaptationreleased in 2010) to fracking ndash inducedhydraulic fracturing to extract natural gasand petroleum
She described fracking as ldquoturningthe land inside-out for more fossil-fuelextractionrdquo and called it ldquothe biggestemergent environmental threat to publichealth in the United States right nowrdquo
Fracking she said uses knowncarcinogenic chemicals and it releasesbenzene ndash a naturally occurring substancethat also causes human cancer
Defenders of fracking claim that itschemicals remain deep in the earth butSteingraber noted that drilling creates apathway to the surface lined with cementand ldquocement is not an immortal substancerdquo
Itrsquos too early to say with certainty thatfracking causes public-health problems
but thatrsquos missing the point of LivingDownstream Fracking fits neatly into thebookrsquos argument against the status-quoregulatory premise that chemicals ndash orprocesses that use them ndash are safe until
proved otherwiseldquoWhat I conclude in Living Downstream
ndash and it came as a surprise to me when Ibegan my investigation and it still comesas a surprise to my readers ndash is that this
assumption that we have that chemicalsare actually tested for safety before theyrsquoreallowed to be marketed and sold is untrueIn fact only about 2 percent of chemicalsnow on the market ndash many of which wehave very intimate contact with ndash have ever
been tested for safetyldquoAnd then you might think Of that 2
percent surely if a substance has beendemonstrated to be a known carcinogen ndashmeaning we know it causes human cancer
ndash we would outlaw such a chemicalAnd those that may be probable or likelycarcinogens for which we have emergingevidence if not yet exact proof we wouldnrsquot
just keep exposing people contaminatingthem without their consent and then
waiting 20 or 30 years to find out if it reallyis a carcinogen Surely we would compel anindustry to demonstrate safety before wewould allow these things on the market
ldquoAnd it turns out that all thoseassumptions are wrongrdquo
Permitting fracking Steingraber saidldquois tantamount to running an uncontrolledhuman experiment on American people There is no factory wall here Frackingoccurs right in our communities right onour farmland Our land is the factoryfloor Therersquos been no demonstrationthat this is safe for peoplerdquo
Steingraber advocates a differentregulatory approach the precautionaryprinciple ndash the assumption for policypurposes that the use of toxic chemicalsis potentially dangerous and needs to beproved safe before being allowed
ldquoI see this as a v iolation of our humanrights the idea that none of us agreed to
let our bodies be used as the repositoryfor chemicals that are either known to bedangerous or have never been shown tobe saferdquo she said ldquoSo with the burden ofproof being on the public to demonstrateby our dying or our sicknesses that we havea problem wersquore actually violating peoplersquosrights to be healthy and safe and so onrdquo
With fracking she said ldquothe only moralthing to do is hit the pause button hereYou canrsquot just keep on exposing people
and create an experiment for public-healthresearchers to come and study for 20 years Even if we stopped everything now wersquodhave all kinds of great study sites to go inand look at the damagerdquo
ldquoDig Hererdquo Steingraber only needs to look at her
body to see the damage caused by thispermissive regulatory environment She
grew up in Pekin Illinois ndash ldquoIrsquom kind ofcoming homerdquo she said of her Quad Citiesappearance ndash and was diagnosed withbladder cancer at age 20
ldquoQuestions by my own diagnosingphysician in 1979 led me to believe thatmy cancer was probably caused by anenvironmental exposure during mychildhood rdquo she said ldquoHe asked Had Iever vulcanized tires Did I live next to analuminum smelter I actually did livenext to an aluminum smelter as well as 29different other industries that I lived just

Domingo Rubio left no doubt thathis Count
Dracula was in
charge during Fridayrsquos
performance of Ballet
Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula
at Molinersquos Scottish
Rite Cathedral (The
production ended
its run on Saturday)
From his bat-like
entrance ndash with the
dancer slowly f lapping
his black cape from front to back as he made
his way through the darkened auditorium ndash
to his death Rubiorsquos Dracula never seemed
controlled by anyone and that included
choreographer Deanna Carter Rubio gave
the impression that his Dracula wasnrsquot mov-
ing because Carter gave him predetermined
choreography but because it was the way he
wanted to move
Dracula was not the first character to grace
the stage however This balletic horror storystarted with Patrick Greenrsquos Renfield in an
asylum in England and Greenrsquos movements
left no question about his characterrsquos mental
state as he hopped around on all fours
mixing in graceful steps and arm sweeps
from the floor to his mouth (This Renfield
showed a penchant for eating bugs) He was
accompanied by a group of fellow patients
wearing crazed-hair wigs and moving in
an often chaotic frenzy their movements
sometimes aligning with his in a sort of linedance reminiscent of Michael Jacksonrsquos creepy
ldquoThrillerrdquo video Greenrsquos portrayal was so
dynamic and Carterrsquos choreography so true
to the character that it was unfortunate that
Renfield did not play more prominently in
the story
Then again it seemed hard if not
impossible for anyone to match Rubiorsquos
command of the stage Rubio increased the
nobility and authority of his blood-sucking
count through movements that were neverstaccato or halting and his always-graceful
arcs and sweeps seemed to emanate from
his commanding tone It was as though
Rubiorsquos Dracula cast his spells by way of his
movement which was most evident when
he first met Jill Schwartzrsquos virginal Lucy the
recently engaged woman on whom Dracula
has set his eyes While she fell under his
control Carter choreographed mimicked
movements as Schwartz danced with
precision while Rubio went through the same
motions but with a fluidity that made it clear
that his Dracula was taking charge of Lucyrsquos
will
What was also remarkable about Rubiorsquos
performance in addition to his flowing
dominance was his sensuality an essence thatwas neither lusty
nor base Dracularsquos
suggestive nature
started with Rubiorsquos
costume which
included a black
long-sleeve mesh
shirt While Rubiorsquos
torso was visible
the slightly opaque
nature of this shirt
created a sexiness
that was more effective than bare skin would
have been because his costume made it seem
as though we were getting a mere peek at his
physique we were allowed to discover his
body rather than having it fully presented to
us And with this look combined with Rubiorsquos
authority and grace Dracularsquos sexuality here
was a force to be reckoned with
In contrast there was a wilder nature to
Dracularsquos brides portrayed by Marie Buser
Margaret Huling and Tessa Moore Their free-flowing hair and the abandon in their dancing
more than suggested their charactersrsquo interest
in the sins of the flesh particularly as they
seduced Alec Rothrsquos Jonathan Harker during
his visit to Dracularsquos Transylvania castle The
sexy demeanor of these dancers was topped
only by Lucyrsquos as she was ultimately taken in
by Dracula With Schwartz dressed in a sheer
red nightgown over clothing that matched
her skin tone her pas de deux with Rubio was
the lustiest encounter of the evening Whilethey danced Schwartzrsquos gown would ride up
her body and give the impression of her being
nude underneath the shock of which was
only overpowered by a realistic special effect
employed when Dracula bit her neck and sent
a wash of dark blood down her chest
Lucy was eventually staked through the
heart under the order of Jacob Lyonrsquos Dr Van
Helsing called in to diagnose what was wrong
with the now-erratic woman With his new
bride truly dead Dracula then vied for theaffections of Jonathanrsquos fianceacute Emily Kate
Longrsquos innocent Mina Murray-Harker who
became the bait in a final battle between Van
Helsing and Dracula that contrasted Rubiorsquos
grace with Lyonrsquos technique
But all throughout the production it was
evident why Ballet Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula with
Rubio returning in the role is so often part of
the companyrsquos seasons Carterrsquos choreography
creates a story thatrsquos easy to follow ndash although
it does require the aid of the programrsquos
thorough plot description to understand the
characters ndash and the sexuality of the piece is
intoxicating with enough horrific elements
added to both shock and please during its
hour-long performance

tephen King John Mellencamp TBone Burnett
Three instantly recognizablenames Three iconic artists withenormous fan bases and lengthy listsof professional accomplishments Andtaken together three of the last people youmight expect to find collaborating on amusical for the stage
That however is precisely what book-writer King composer Mellencamp andproducermusical director Burnett didand what resulted was Ghost Brothersof Darkland County a song-filled
supernatural Southern Gothic that hadits world premiere last year in a run atAtlantarsquos Alliance Theatre
Yet when local audiences see theshow ndash which theyrsquoll be able to whenthe touring Ghost Brothers of DarklandCounty lands at Davenportrsquos AdlerTheatre on November 3 ndash it wonrsquot be quitethe same one that audiences in Atlantaexperienced For one thing this currentproduction stars noted film and television
actor Bruce Greenwood famed for rolesin such big-screen entertainments asThirteen Days (in which he played JFKduring the Cuban missile crisis) FlightCapote and director JJ Abramsrsquo Star Trekmovies which found the actor portraying the(Spoiler Alert) doomed Captain ChristopherPike
ldquoThis was just something that was sodifferent for merdquo said Greenwood duringour phone interview about his present
momentary break from filmmaking ldquoBut Ithought lsquoWell you know yeah ndash let me takesix weeks off and go have a different kind offunrsquordquo
But an even more crucial differencebetween the Ghost Brothers of Atlanta and theGhost Brothers of its current 20-city tour isthat the musical in question is technically nolonger a musical Itrsquos now as director SusanV Booth explained in an e-mail interview ldquoakind of live radio playrdquo that ldquoreally is a wholenew version of the show
ldquoWe didnrsquot just pack up the set andthe costumes and hit the roadrdquo Boothwrote during the rehearsal process forGhost Brothersrsquo tour (which debuted inBloomington Indiana on October 10)
ldquoThe actors deliver the material arounda radio mic with very little else but theirspirits and voices Itrsquos ending up makingthe show much more powerful by makingit much more entwined with the audiencersquosimaginationrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a really interesting formatrdquoGreenwood added ldquoItrsquos a very spareenvironment But of course the environment
of terror that Stephen creates is Thedemon is between your ears you know Itrsquosnot so much in your physical surroundingsrdquo
Landing the FishBooth currently serves as artistic director
for the Alliance Theatre ndash recipient of theprestigious 2007 Regional Theatre TonyAward for ldquooutstanding achievement by aprofessional non-profit regional theatrerdquondash and stated that getting to work on Ghost
Brothers had been a dream long before sheeven knew of its existence
ldquoYears agordquo Booth said ldquoI had beenasked what projects Irsquod hoped to bring tothe Alliance Theatre during my time there
I said I hoped to get John Mellencampto write a musical because I alwaysthought that his songs were thesebrilliant character studies A few yearslater a mutual friend reached out tome and told me that he had in factalready written one and that hersquodpartnered with no less than StephenKing
ldquoI started trying to land that fishthen ndash and it only took another fewyears before the conversation beganrdquo
The collaboration between longtimefriends Mellencamp and King (and
as of 2010 Burnett) began in 2000with a true story told by the Grammy-winning rocker involving two brothersa girl they both loved an accidentalkilling and a car crash Over thenext decade ndash and with Mellencampproviding bluegrass gospel and roots-rock voice for the characters ndash this talemorphed into a more recognizablyKing-ian narrative complete withburied family secrets and a mysterious
Satanic entity referred to as ldquoTheShaperdquo
ldquoThe Alliance has a rich history ofdeveloping and producing new Americanmusicalsrdquo said Booth ldquoso the fit was goodAnd as a Midwesterner who grew up readingKing and listening to Mellencamp ndash and nowliving in the South ndash I felt like the world ofthe play made personal sense to me so I putup my hand and said Irsquod like to directrdquo
Happily for Booth ldquothey were good
enough to say yesrdquo (In a 2011 pressconference King ndash as quoted by the Atlantaweekly Neighbor Newspapers ndash stated ldquoWewanted a place that was cosmopolitan butnot out-of-touch with country roots Atlantaseemed like the middle of the bullrsquos eyerdquo)
Yet Booth said it was clear even from thestart of Ghost Brothersrsquo 2012 rehearsals thatthe show ndash befitting its eclectic behind-the-scenes talent ndash wasnrsquot going to be any kind oftraditional musical-theatre experience
ldquoI think the silliest thing you could dowhen yoursquore working with three artists whoare lions in their fields is to try to shoehorntheir talents into some existing moldrdquo she

final cadence
In a post-concert interview Torke
said he was ldquothrilledrdquo with the
orchestrarsquos rendering With emphatic
conducting gestures Torke said
ldquoMarkrsquos slower tempo made my music
more grand than I originally imaginedrdquo
Smithrsquos interpretation of the new
music and the orchestrarsquos performance
were energized vivid and taut Heavily
doubled with many instrumentalcombinations playing the same musical
figures the orchestra effectively shaped
the thematic repetitions into a slowly
changing musical kaleidoscope
Torkersquos ideas were concise and
intense yet more dazzling than
substantive more sensuous than
profound But they were orchestrated
and developed with great skill toward
the goal of inculcating the audience
with anticipation and it workedA delightful addition to the program
was Wootenrsquos customized narration to
Brittenrsquos instrumental-demonstration
piece A complete redo of Eric Crozierrsquos
original sterile text Wooten not
only editorialized about the nature
of each instrumental family and its
components but named most of the
performers as they played through the
variations He added a spattering of
insider humor as well with commentssuch as ldquoThe brass can be very loud
so they must sit in the backrdquo and
ldquoPercussion are kept in the kitchen
where they can bang on anything in
front of themrdquo these drew chuckles
from the audience and on-stage
reactions with musicians smiling as
they played
It was in this light piece that the
orchestra created its most glorious
moment of the night The brilliantmusical unification of the noble
opening brass theme with the fast
fanciful unison fugue theme at the
end produced a gripping symphonic
experience
And the Brahms was convincingly
dramatic and played with secure
technical command The slow
compound rhythmic figures in the
first and second movements drifted
seamlessly between the orchestra andsoloist Close communication between
Smith and Biss led to quiet whispers
of tone in their reflecting exchanges
The first Masterworks concertof the Quad City Symphonyrsquos99th season was a checkerboard
of strengths and weaknesses Huge
transcendent moments filled the AdlerTheatre in the October 5 concert but
when things got quiet discrepancies
in tone color balance and rhythm ap-peared

The concert was an elegantlydesigned program that included

a good selection of music for thisorchestra In the tutti sections when
all the instruments were played the
mixture of timbre was profuse Yet asthe scoring broke down into smaller
instrumental combinations the
differences in individual colors becamemore problematic The result was tonal
incompatibility both among the same
instruments and between instrumentalfamilies
Torkersquos four-minute opener was a
clear highlight The music in the scoreappeared to be simple ndash quarter and
eighth notes laid out across the pagewith unchanging whole-note pitches

The shorter notes became a pulsatingengine propelling the waves higher

will be surprised to learn that on atechnical level Captain Phillips isclose to breathtaking With The HurtLocker rsquos Barry Ackroyd serving ascinematographer Greengrassrsquo seeminglycaught-on-the-fly (yet surely rigorouslythought-out) compositions arepresented with clarity and immediacy
and Christopher Rousersquos marvelouslysharp editing ndash combined with thepropulsive thrust of composer HenryJackmanrsquos superb score ndash makes yougrateful that breathing is an involuntarybodily function
Sterling technique of the sortdisplayed here would handily makeGreengrassrsquo outing first-rate Itrsquos themoviersquos humans that make it potentiallyunforgettable I was thrilled that the
direction and Rayrsquos script gave Abdiand Musersquos heavily armed companionsndash very well-played by BarkhadAbdirahman Faysal Ahmed and MahatM Ali ndash numerous opportunities fornuance especially in roles that couldhave been stereotypical or at worstactively offensive But I was less thrilledthan flabbergasted that Hanks afterso many going-through-the-motionsperformances in the years since 2000rsquosCast Away could again appear on-
screen this vital and connected andalive with his last 10 minutes hereperhaps marking a new high point inthe career of the two-time Oscar winner(I was literally shaking during his finalscene Not as much as he was butshaking nonetheless) Captain Phillips is
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Wersquove all seen movies that beginspectacularly well but seem to slowly sadlylose their inspiration as they progressleaving you to wonder by their finaleswhat it was that initially had you so jazzedabout them Paul Greengrassrsquo dramaticthriller Captain Phillips Irsquom happy tosay is not one of those movies Actuallyit might be the exact opposite of oneof those movies a work that starts outdistractingly shaky yet gradually morphsinto something utterly spectacular ndash so spectacular in truth that you can barelyremember how off-put you were by thecomparative bummer of its early scenes
Barely remembering however isnrsquotquite the same as forgetting so al low me toaddress Captain Phillipsrsquo first 15 minutes
before commencing with my praiseBased on the real-life 2009 hijacking ofan American cargo ship by four well-armed Somalis director Greengrassrsquo latestopens in the suburban-Vermont homeof the shiprsquos captain Richard Phillips ashe prepares for his il l-fated voyage Weknow by the gentle light homey deacutecor andPhillipsrsquo packing of a family photo that hersquosa man of fundamental decency a notionexacerbated by the casting of Tom Hanks
an actor whorsquos spent the vast majority ofhis screen career with ldquoMan of the Peoplerdquopractically stenciled on his forehead (Foradded telegraphing Catherine ldquoSalt of theEarthrdquo Keener is cast as Phillipsrsquo wife)
But while this quiet introduction wouldalmost certainly be all wersquod require forempathy Greengrass and screenwriterBilly Ray ndash adapting co-authors Phillipsrsquo
and StephenTaltyrsquosnonfictionaccount ofthe tale ndashdonrsquot appearentirelyconvinced
Insteadtheir openeris followeda strangelydidactic ride-to-the-airport scene in which the spouseshave a melancholy chat about their kidsrsquofutures and the uncertain economy andhow ldquothings arenrsquot the way they used to berdquotheir conversation sounding resoundinglylike scripted (ie forced) dialogue And
by the time Phill ips has boarded his shipdemanding safety inspections and drillsthat his union crew discreetly roll theireyes at the manrsquos incorruptible goodnessalready feels oppressive ndash and is evidencedfurther when you notice that Phillips hadthat family photo also printed on his coffeemug (So why pack the picture) We get ityou want to say Phillips plus Hanks equalssaint
Greengrass and Ray do at least hint thatCaptain Phillips will be less cut-and-driedthan its prelude suggests with their earlyinclusion of a sequence set in a depressedSomali outpost Entrenched in theenvironmentrsquos horrific poverty easy accessto artillery and constant looming threatof violence wersquore made to understand theconditions that could lead to an oceanichijacking ndash conditions that can alsobe read in full in the gaunt haunted
murderouslydeterminedface of BarkhadAbdi whoportrays (ina sensationalfilm debut)the missionrsquos
eventual leaderMuse Whilenever overtlysympathizingwith Muse
and the three other Somali pirates whoboard Phillipsrsquo ship the movie refuses to
view its antagonists solely as ldquothe otherrdquowhich is a refreshing break from the normIt wouldrsquove been even more refreshingI thought if th is werenrsquot the very same
tactic employed by Greengrass for his 911thriller United 93 despite the undeniableprofessionalism of its presentation Ispent the moviersquos first 15 minutes feelinglike Greengrass in Captain Phillipswas traveling on perhaps-too-well-trodground
And here is where my complainingends Because from the moment Phillipsbecomes aware of the Somalis (in twoboats initially) trailing his ship thefilm turns into something downrightextraordinary a dramatic procedural thatbecomes an intense cat-and-mouse thrillerand then a beat-the-clock action pic andthen a harrowing rescue tale and finallya heart-wrenching look at the emotionalimpact of real-life heroism
No one familiar with Greengrassrsquohelming of United 93 or the second andthird entries in the Jason Bourne franchise

summer Paste magazine wrote ldquoItrsquos like Morris

went on to call the CDrsquos title track ldquoa simple

Gosh thatrsquos an awful lot of food references
Are we sure itrsquos not the Paste author who
favored that nice Americana-nodding spliff
Regardless from all accounts AuditionTapes sounds like a tasty mix which certainly

The starting point of Living Downstream was comparing information from statecancer registries (started in the 1970s) andthe EPArsquos Toxic Release Inventory (startedin 1986) By the 1990s Steingraber saidthere was enough information to seecancer trends You could for example seea correlation between pesticide spraying inCape Cod and cancer incidence there ldquoYoucan actually map the sort of moving shadowof cancer rdquo she said
That sort of linking she said had ldquobeendone in a couple of the highly technicaldocuments [But] no one had tried to doit for the general publicrdquo before LivingDownstream
ldquoI actually returned to myhometown moved into my sisterrsquosbasement and began an intensivestudy of the toxic-waste sites and watercontamination and the air pollution inmy home community and discoveredI was just one data point in a cluster ofcancers there Thatrsquos the story that I tellin Living Downstreamrdquo
Through that process she said shefound support for her belief that hercancer had environmental causes ldquoOneof the things that I discovered was thepresence of perchlorethylene which isdry-cleaning solvent in my hometowndrinking-water wells Perchlorethyleneis a probable bladder carcinogen So it
is likely that my own cancer was causedbecause years before I was born whenmachine shops used perchlorethyleneas a solvent to de-grease metal partssomebody dumped a vat of it out back itseeped into the groundwater and then Ias a kid grew up drinking it and paid theprice for it And still am paying the priceBecause I am now 54 and Irsquove lived for 34years as a bladder-cancer patient I live ahighly medicalized liferdquo

Monday October 28 730 pm
Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest
reason to be excited about the Adlerrsquos
booking of Memphis Ms Gloveryou see appeared in a 1997 musical
titled A Legendary Christmas at RockIslandrsquos Circa rsquo21 Dinner PlayhouseI was a Circa rsquo21 employee at thetime And my fellow B ootleggers andI would oftentimes hang with Ms
Glover after performancesThatrsquos right Memphis is the show
that makes me only two degrees ofseparation from the Tony Awards
And my parents thought that theatre
major of mine wouldnrsquot amount toanything

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust

Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side

mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic

neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty
Of course

unions so it seems only logical that thoseunions or the Democratic GovernorsAssociation or someone else would decidethat beating Rauner in a primary would beway more cost-effective than letting himout of that tight ideological Republican penand into the wide-open spaces of a generalelection
This sort of thing has never been donestatewide here before but it was pulled offlast year in Missouri by US Senator ClaireMcCaskill and the national Democratic
Senate campaign committee when they spenta combined $17 million in the Republicanprimary to help nominate Tea Partier ToddAkin who then went on to self-immolatein the fall campaign The Democrats spentmore money on Akinrsquos behalf than Akinspent on his own campaign
So could it happen hereWell nobodyrsquos talking yet but it sure
looks like a good investment particularlyfor the public-employee unions Raunerhas talked openly of shutting down stategovernment to bring AFSCME to its kneesHis pension-reform ideas include tossing outthe defined-benefit program and switchingto a defined contribution He opposesteacher tenure the right of teachers to strike
may need to step in to snuff out Raunerrsquoscampaign before he makes it out of theprimary And Democrat-affiliated groupsappear to be the most logical source of thatcash
As polling has shown Rauner has someserious negative issues in a GOP primarythat might be okay with voters in a generalelection
His close affiliation with Chicago MayorRahm Emanuel for instance has killernegative numbers among Republicans but
it wonrsquot exactly be easy for Governor PatQuinn to use that against the guy in thegeneral election
Rauner and his wife have both supportedDemocratic candidates which isnrsquot good in aRepublican contest but is a nice positive oncethe primary is over
Because Rauner is pro choice and wonrsquotsay where he stands on gay marriage he hasleft himself more than enough wiggle roomto pretty easily pivot toward supporting gaymarriage once the GOP primary is over
In other words if Rauner wins theprimary he could be a nightmare for theDemocratic Party
Rauner is strongly anti-union and hasall but vowed to break the public-employee
Bruce Rauner has closer ties to topDemocrats in this state and nationthan many Democrats do is pro-
choice and is reluctant to say where hestands on gay marriage so you wouldnrsquotthink hersquod have much chance at winning aRepublican primary for governor
But the retired multi-millionaire isrunning a pretty smart campaign and raisingtons more money than his opponents sonobody can really count him out
Bill Brady told the Chicago Sun-Times
hersquod raised a mere $75000 this past quarterwhich ended September 30 The Tribune reported that state Senator Kirk Dillard hadraised just $239000 in large contributionsduring the third quarter but hersquos stillcarrying quite a lot of debt from his failed2010 campaign for governor Treasurer DanRutherford says he raised $333000 andhas $12 million in the bank Rauner onthe other hand raised more than a milliondollars during the quarter and about $3million since he kicked off his campaignAnd he has so much personal wealth that hecould spend lots lots more
More than a few Democrats and evensome Republicans wary of Rauner are sayingthat somebody else with deep pockets

and on and on and on He also favors ldquorightto workrdquo which all of labor hates
And Quinn would probably prefer it aswell The wealthy Rauner could wind upspending a kingrsquos ransom in the generalelection Hersquos also close enough to Emanuelto make Quinn more than a little nervous
So spending a few million dollars beforenext March to expose Raunerrsquos more liberalDemocratic side to Republican-primary
voters would be a whole lot cheaper than thetens of millions it could cost to defend the
slot in the November general electionItrsquos not that Quinn would get off easy with
any of the other three RepublicansAnd itrsquos not that Rauner would be a slam-
dunk winner eitherQuinn could use the playbook that
Obama used against his wealthy GOPopponent last year ndash a playbook that Obamaborrowed from Quinnrsquos own 2010 raceagainst Brady
But Rauner appears to pose the biggestrisk to the Democrats because of hismoderate stances on social issues hisChicago ties and most of all his money

Sandra Steingraber October 22 at St Ambrose University
Personal Science
by Jeff Ignatius
jeffrcreadercom
Sandra Steingraber has bachelor anddoctorate degrees in biology and amasterrsquos in creative writing ldquoI had
long been a biologist by day and poet bynightrdquo she said in a phone interview ear-lier this month ldquoI kind of kept my writ-ing world and my science world separaterdquo
And that was herintention when sheset out to write thebook that wouldbecome LivingDownstream ldquoIt wasgoing to representmy best attemptas a biologist tosummarize the links
between cancer and the environmentrdquo shesaid
But the poet in her ended uptransforming the project into somethingunusual a deeply personal story
intertwined with a scientific one asSteingraber discusses her own cancer inthe context of the troubling relationshipbetween chemical pollution and thedisease The hook of the book she said isldquothe life behind one of the data points inthe cancer registry namely my ownrdquo
Steingraber will be speaking at StAmbrose University on October 22 aspart of the schoolrsquos Sustainability Projectwhich includes events throughout the
academic year Her lecture she said willapply the ldquoconceptual themerdquo of LivingDownstream (originally published in 1997with a second edition and film adaptationreleased in 2010) to fracking ndash inducedhydraulic fracturing to extract natural gasand petroleum
She described fracking as ldquoturningthe land inside-out for more fossil-fuelextractionrdquo and called it ldquothe biggestemergent environmental threat to publichealth in the United States right nowrdquo
Fracking she said uses knowncarcinogenic chemicals and it releasesbenzene ndash a naturally occurring substancethat also causes human cancer
Defenders of fracking claim that itschemicals remain deep in the earth butSteingraber noted that drilling creates apathway to the surface lined with cementand ldquocement is not an immortal substancerdquo
Itrsquos too early to say with certainty thatfracking causes public-health problems
but thatrsquos missing the point of LivingDownstream Fracking fits neatly into thebookrsquos argument against the status-quoregulatory premise that chemicals ndash orprocesses that use them ndash are safe until
proved otherwiseldquoWhat I conclude in Living Downstream
ndash and it came as a surprise to me when Ibegan my investigation and it still comesas a surprise to my readers ndash is that this
assumption that we have that chemicalsare actually tested for safety before theyrsquoreallowed to be marketed and sold is untrueIn fact only about 2 percent of chemicalsnow on the market ndash many of which wehave very intimate contact with ndash have ever
been tested for safetyldquoAnd then you might think Of that 2
percent surely if a substance has beendemonstrated to be a known carcinogen ndashmeaning we know it causes human cancer
ndash we would outlaw such a chemicalAnd those that may be probable or likelycarcinogens for which we have emergingevidence if not yet exact proof we wouldnrsquot
just keep exposing people contaminatingthem without their consent and then
waiting 20 or 30 years to find out if it reallyis a carcinogen Surely we would compel anindustry to demonstrate safety before wewould allow these things on the market
ldquoAnd it turns out that all thoseassumptions are wrongrdquo
Permitting fracking Steingraber saidldquois tantamount to running an uncontrolledhuman experiment on American people There is no factory wall here Frackingoccurs right in our communities right onour farmland Our land is the factoryfloor Therersquos been no demonstrationthat this is safe for peoplerdquo
Steingraber advocates a differentregulatory approach the precautionaryprinciple ndash the assumption for policypurposes that the use of toxic chemicalsis potentially dangerous and needs to beproved safe before being allowed
ldquoI see this as a v iolation of our humanrights the idea that none of us agreed to
let our bodies be used as the repositoryfor chemicals that are either known to bedangerous or have never been shown tobe saferdquo she said ldquoSo with the burden ofproof being on the public to demonstrateby our dying or our sicknesses that we havea problem wersquore actually violating peoplersquosrights to be healthy and safe and so onrdquo
With fracking she said ldquothe only moralthing to do is hit the pause button hereYou canrsquot just keep on exposing people
and create an experiment for public-healthresearchers to come and study for 20 years Even if we stopped everything now wersquodhave all kinds of great study sites to go inand look at the damagerdquo
ldquoDig Hererdquo Steingraber only needs to look at her
body to see the damage caused by thispermissive regulatory environment She
grew up in Pekin Illinois ndash ldquoIrsquom kind ofcoming homerdquo she said of her Quad Citiesappearance ndash and was diagnosed withbladder cancer at age 20
ldquoQuestions by my own diagnosingphysician in 1979 led me to believe thatmy cancer was probably caused by anenvironmental exposure during mychildhood rdquo she said ldquoHe asked Had Iever vulcanized tires Did I live next to analuminum smelter I actually did livenext to an aluminum smelter as well as 29different other industries that I lived just

Domingo Rubio left no doubt thathis Count
Dracula was in
charge during Fridayrsquos
performance of Ballet
Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula
at Molinersquos Scottish
Rite Cathedral (The
production ended
its run on Saturday)
From his bat-like
entrance ndash with the
dancer slowly f lapping
his black cape from front to back as he made
his way through the darkened auditorium ndash
to his death Rubiorsquos Dracula never seemed
controlled by anyone and that included
choreographer Deanna Carter Rubio gave
the impression that his Dracula wasnrsquot mov-
ing because Carter gave him predetermined
choreography but because it was the way he
wanted to move
Dracula was not the first character to grace
the stage however This balletic horror storystarted with Patrick Greenrsquos Renfield in an
asylum in England and Greenrsquos movements
left no question about his characterrsquos mental
state as he hopped around on all fours
mixing in graceful steps and arm sweeps
from the floor to his mouth (This Renfield
showed a penchant for eating bugs) He was
accompanied by a group of fellow patients
wearing crazed-hair wigs and moving in
an often chaotic frenzy their movements
sometimes aligning with his in a sort of linedance reminiscent of Michael Jacksonrsquos creepy
ldquoThrillerrdquo video Greenrsquos portrayal was so
dynamic and Carterrsquos choreography so true
to the character that it was unfortunate that
Renfield did not play more prominently in
the story
Then again it seemed hard if not
impossible for anyone to match Rubiorsquos
command of the stage Rubio increased the
nobility and authority of his blood-sucking
count through movements that were neverstaccato or halting and his always-graceful
arcs and sweeps seemed to emanate from
his commanding tone It was as though
Rubiorsquos Dracula cast his spells by way of his
movement which was most evident when
he first met Jill Schwartzrsquos virginal Lucy the
recently engaged woman on whom Dracula
has set his eyes While she fell under his
control Carter choreographed mimicked
movements as Schwartz danced with
precision while Rubio went through the same
motions but with a fluidity that made it clear
that his Dracula was taking charge of Lucyrsquos
will
What was also remarkable about Rubiorsquos
performance in addition to his flowing
dominance was his sensuality an essence thatwas neither lusty
nor base Dracularsquos
suggestive nature
started with Rubiorsquos
costume which
included a black
long-sleeve mesh
shirt While Rubiorsquos
torso was visible
the slightly opaque
nature of this shirt
created a sexiness
that was more effective than bare skin would
have been because his costume made it seem
as though we were getting a mere peek at his
physique we were allowed to discover his
body rather than having it fully presented to
us And with this look combined with Rubiorsquos
authority and grace Dracularsquos sexuality here
was a force to be reckoned with
In contrast there was a wilder nature to
Dracularsquos brides portrayed by Marie Buser
Margaret Huling and Tessa Moore Their free-flowing hair and the abandon in their dancing
more than suggested their charactersrsquo interest
in the sins of the flesh particularly as they
seduced Alec Rothrsquos Jonathan Harker during
his visit to Dracularsquos Transylvania castle The
sexy demeanor of these dancers was topped
only by Lucyrsquos as she was ultimately taken in
by Dracula With Schwartz dressed in a sheer
red nightgown over clothing that matched
her skin tone her pas de deux with Rubio was
the lustiest encounter of the evening Whilethey danced Schwartzrsquos gown would ride up
her body and give the impression of her being
nude underneath the shock of which was
only overpowered by a realistic special effect
employed when Dracula bit her neck and sent
a wash of dark blood down her chest
Lucy was eventually staked through the
heart under the order of Jacob Lyonrsquos Dr Van
Helsing called in to diagnose what was wrong
with the now-erratic woman With his new
bride truly dead Dracula then vied for theaffections of Jonathanrsquos fianceacute Emily Kate
Longrsquos innocent Mina Murray-Harker who
became the bait in a final battle between Van
Helsing and Dracula that contrasted Rubiorsquos
grace with Lyonrsquos technique
But all throughout the production it was
evident why Ballet Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula with
Rubio returning in the role is so often part of
the companyrsquos seasons Carterrsquos choreography
creates a story thatrsquos easy to follow ndash although
it does require the aid of the programrsquos
thorough plot description to understand the
characters ndash and the sexuality of the piece is
intoxicating with enough horrific elements
added to both shock and please during its
hour-long performance

tephen King John Mellencamp TBone Burnett
Three instantly recognizablenames Three iconic artists withenormous fan bases and lengthy listsof professional accomplishments Andtaken together three of the last people youmight expect to find collaborating on amusical for the stage
That however is precisely what book-writer King composer Mellencamp andproducermusical director Burnett didand what resulted was Ghost Brothersof Darkland County a song-filled
supernatural Southern Gothic that hadits world premiere last year in a run atAtlantarsquos Alliance Theatre
Yet when local audiences see theshow ndash which theyrsquoll be able to whenthe touring Ghost Brothers of DarklandCounty lands at Davenportrsquos AdlerTheatre on November 3 ndash it wonrsquot be quitethe same one that audiences in Atlantaexperienced For one thing this currentproduction stars noted film and television
actor Bruce Greenwood famed for rolesin such big-screen entertainments asThirteen Days (in which he played JFKduring the Cuban missile crisis) FlightCapote and director JJ Abramsrsquo Star Trekmovies which found the actor portraying the(Spoiler Alert) doomed Captain ChristopherPike
ldquoThis was just something that was sodifferent for merdquo said Greenwood duringour phone interview about his present
momentary break from filmmaking ldquoBut Ithought lsquoWell you know yeah ndash let me takesix weeks off and go have a different kind offunrsquordquo
But an even more crucial differencebetween the Ghost Brothers of Atlanta and theGhost Brothers of its current 20-city tour isthat the musical in question is technically nolonger a musical Itrsquos now as director SusanV Booth explained in an e-mail interview ldquoakind of live radio playrdquo that ldquoreally is a wholenew version of the show
ldquoWe didnrsquot just pack up the set andthe costumes and hit the roadrdquo Boothwrote during the rehearsal process forGhost Brothersrsquo tour (which debuted inBloomington Indiana on October 10)
ldquoThe actors deliver the material arounda radio mic with very little else but theirspirits and voices Itrsquos ending up makingthe show much more powerful by makingit much more entwined with the audiencersquosimaginationrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a really interesting formatrdquoGreenwood added ldquoItrsquos a very spareenvironment But of course the environment

Landing the FishBooth currently serves as artistic director
for the Alliance Theatre ndash recipient of theprestigious 2007 Regional Theatre TonyAward for ldquooutstanding achievement by aprofessional non-profit regional theatrerdquondash and stated that getting to work on Ghost
Brothers had been a dream long before sheeven knew of its existence
ldquoYears agordquo Booth said ldquoI had beenasked what projects Irsquod hoped to bring tothe Alliance Theatre during my time there
I said I hoped to get John Mellencampto write a musical because I alwaysthought that his songs were thesebrilliant character studies A few yearslater a mutual friend reached out tome and told me that he had in factalready written one and that hersquodpartnered with no less than StephenKing
ldquoI started trying to land that fishthen ndash and it only took another fewyears before the conversation beganrdquo
The collaboration between longtimefriends Mellencamp and King (and
as of 2010 Burnett) began in 2000with a true story told by the Grammy-winning rocker involving two brothersa girl they both loved an accidentalkilling and a car crash Over thenext decade ndash and with Mellencampproviding bluegrass gospel and roots-rock voice for the characters ndash this talemorphed into a more recognizablyKing-ian narrative complete withburied family secrets and a mysterious
Satanic entity referred to as ldquoTheShaperdquo
ldquoThe Alliance has a rich history ofdeveloping and producing new Americanmusicalsrdquo said Booth ldquoso the fit was goodAnd as a Midwesterner who grew up readingKing and listening to Mellencamp ndash and nowliving in the South ndash I felt like the world ofthe play made personal sense to me so I putup my hand and said Irsquod like to directrdquo
Happily for Booth ldquothey were good
enough to say yesrdquo (In a 2011 pressconference King ndash as quoted by the Atlantaweekly Neighbor Newspapers ndash stated ldquoWewanted a place that was cosmopolitan butnot out-of-touch with country roots Atlantaseemed like the middle of the bullrsquos eyerdquo)
Yet Booth said it was clear even from thestart of Ghost Brothersrsquo 2012 rehearsals thatthe show ndash befitting its eclectic behind-the-scenes talent ndash wasnrsquot going to be any kind oftraditional musical-theatre experience
ldquoI think the silliest thing you could dowhen yoursquore working with three artists whoare lions in their fields is to try to shoehorntheir talents into some existing moldrdquo she

final cadence
In a post-concert interview Torke
said he was ldquothrilledrdquo with the
orchestrarsquos rendering With emphatic
conducting gestures Torke said
ldquoMarkrsquos slower tempo made my music
more grand than I originally imaginedrdquo
Smithrsquos interpretation of the new
music and the orchestrarsquos performance
were energized vivid and taut Heavily
doubled with many instrumentalcombinations playing the same musical
figures the orchestra effectively shaped
the thematic repetitions into a slowly
changing musical kaleidoscope
Torkersquos ideas were concise and
intense yet more dazzling than
substantive more sensuous than
profound But they were orchestrated
and developed with great skill toward
the goal of inculcating the audience
with anticipation and it workedA delightful addition to the program
was Wootenrsquos customized narration to
Brittenrsquos instrumental-demonstration
piece A complete redo of Eric Crozierrsquos
original sterile text Wooten not
only editorialized about the nature
of each instrumental family and its
components but named most of the
performers as they played through the
variations He added a spattering of
insider humor as well with commentssuch as ldquoThe brass can be very loud
so they must sit in the backrdquo and
ldquoPercussion are kept in the kitchen
where they can bang on anything in
front of themrdquo these drew chuckles
from the audience and on-stage
reactions with musicians smiling as
they played
It was in this light piece that the
orchestra created its most glorious
moment of the night The brilliantmusical unification of the noble
opening brass theme with the fast
fanciful unison fugue theme at the
end produced a gripping symphonic
experience
And the Brahms was convincingly
dramatic and played with secure
technical command The slow
compound rhythmic figures in the
first and second movements drifted
seamlessly between the orchestra andsoloist Close communication between
Smith and Biss led to quiet whispers
of tone in their reflecting exchanges
The first Masterworks concertof the Quad City Symphonyrsquos99th season was a checkerboard
of strengths and weaknesses Huge
transcendent moments filled the AdlerTheatre in the October 5 concert but
when things got quiet discrepancies
in tone color balance and rhythm ap-peared
Under the direction of Music
Director and Conductor Mark RussellSmith the orchestra explored four
diverse approaches to compositionin reverse chronological order
Commissioned by the Quad City
Symphony the world premiere ofAmerican composer Michael Torkersquos
Oracle opened the program followed
by fellow countryman Aaron JayKernisrsquo Musica Celestis featuring
only the strings The mid-20th
Centuryrsquos Young Personrsquos Guide tothe Orchestra by British composer
Benjamin Britten ndash with humorousnarration by local media personality
Don Wooten ndash completed the first half
After intermission pianist JonathanBiss joined the orchestra for Johannes
Brahmsrsquo Concerto for Piano No 1
The concert was an elegantlydesigned program that included
a variety of contemporary works
balanced by a classic masterpiecebut ndash except for Torke ndash it was not
a good selection of music for thisorchestra In the tutti sections when
all the instruments were played the
mixture of timbre was profuse Yet asthe scoring broke down into smaller
instrumental combinations the
differences in individual colors becamemore problematic The result was tonal
incompatibility both among the same
instruments and between instrumentalfamilies
Torkersquos four-minute opener was a
clear highlight The music in the scoreappeared to be simple ndash quarter and
eighth notes laid out across the pagewith unchanging whole-note pitches
held for several bars But when the
orchestra played them the wholenotes became expanding waves of
sonic clusters that washed over you
The shorter notes became a pulsatingengine propelling the waves higher
and sending them crashing into you
Wave after wave with subtle changesin orchestration and pitch formed the
core gestures of a piece that grew to its

will be surprised to learn that on atechnical level Captain Phillips isclose to breathtaking With The HurtLocker rsquos Barry Ackroyd serving ascinematographer Greengrassrsquo seeminglycaught-on-the-fly (yet surely rigorouslythought-out) compositions arepresented with clarity and immediacy
and Christopher Rousersquos marvelouslysharp editing ndash combined with thepropulsive thrust of composer HenryJackmanrsquos superb score ndash makes yougrateful that breathing is an involuntarybodily function
Sterling technique of the sortdisplayed here would handily makeGreengrassrsquo outing first-rate Itrsquos themoviersquos humans that make it potentiallyunforgettable I was thrilled that the
direction and Rayrsquos script gave Abdiand Musersquos heavily armed companionsndash very well-played by BarkhadAbdirahman Faysal Ahmed and MahatM Ali ndash numerous opportunities fornuance especially in roles that couldhave been stereotypical or at worstactively offensive But I was less thrilledthan flabbergasted that Hanks afterso many going-through-the-motionsperformances in the years since 2000rsquosCast Away could again appear on-
screen this vital and connected andalive with his last 10 minutes hereperhaps marking a new high point inthe career of the two-time Oscar winner(I was literally shaking during his finalscene Not as much as he was butshaking nonetheless) Captain Phillips is
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Wersquove all seen movies that beginspectacularly well but seem to slowly sadlylose their inspiration as they progressleaving you to wonder by their finaleswhat it was that initially had you so jazzedabout them Paul Greengrassrsquo dramaticthriller Captain Phillips Irsquom happy tosay is not one of those movies Actuallyit might be the exact opposite of oneof those movies a work that starts outdistractingly shaky yet gradually morphsinto something utterly spectacular ndash so spectacular in truth that you can barelyremember how off-put you were by thecomparative bummer of its early scenes
Barely remembering however isnrsquotquite the same as forgetting so al low me toaddress Captain Phillipsrsquo first 15 minutes
before commencing with my praiseBased on the real-life 2009 hijacking ofan American cargo ship by four well-armed Somalis director Greengrassrsquo latestopens in the suburban-Vermont homeof the shiprsquos captain Richard Phillips ashe prepares for his il l-fated voyage Weknow by the gentle light homey deacutecor andPhillipsrsquo packing of a family photo that hersquosa man of fundamental decency a notionexacerbated by the casting of Tom Hanks
an actor whorsquos spent the vast majority ofhis screen career with ldquoMan of the Peoplerdquopractically stenciled on his forehead (Foradded telegraphing Catherine ldquoSalt of theEarthrdquo Keener is cast as Phillipsrsquo wife)
But while this quiet introduction wouldalmost certainly be all wersquod require forempathy Greengrass and screenwriterBilly Ray ndash adapting co-authors Phillipsrsquo
and StephenTaltyrsquosnonfictionaccount ofthe tale ndashdonrsquot appearentirelyconvinced
Insteadtheir openeris followeda strangelydidactic ride-to-the-airport scene in which the spouseshave a melancholy chat about their kidsrsquofutures and the uncertain economy andhow ldquothings arenrsquot the way they used to berdquotheir conversation sounding resoundinglylike scripted (ie forced) dialogue And
by the time Phill ips has boarded his shipdemanding safety inspections and drillsthat his union crew discreetly roll theireyes at the manrsquos incorruptible goodnessalready feels oppressive ndash and is evidencedfurther when you notice that Phillips hadthat family photo also printed on his coffeemug (So why pack the picture) We get ityou want to say Phillips plus Hanks equalssaint
Greengrass and Ray do at least hint thatCaptain Phillips will be less cut-and-driedthan its prelude suggests with their earlyinclusion of a sequence set in a depressedSomali outpost Entrenched in theenvironmentrsquos horrific poverty easy accessto artillery and constant looming threatof violence wersquore made to understand theconditions that could lead to an oceanichijacking ndash conditions that can alsobe read in full in the gaunt haunted
murderouslydeterminedface of BarkhadAbdi whoportrays (ina sensationalfilm debut)the missionrsquos
eventual leaderMuse Whilenever overtlysympathizingwith Muse
and the three other Somali pirates whoboard Phillipsrsquo ship the movie refuses to
view its antagonists solely as ldquothe otherrdquowhich is a refreshing break from the normIt wouldrsquove been even more refreshingI thought if th is werenrsquot the very same
tactic employed by Greengrass for his 911thriller United 93 despite the undeniableprofessionalism of its presentation Ispent the moviersquos first 15 minutes feelinglike Greengrass in Captain Phillipswas traveling on perhaps-too-well-trodground
And here is where my complainingends Because from the moment Phillipsbecomes aware of the Somalis (in twoboats initially) trailing his ship thefilm turns into something downrightextraordinary a dramatic procedural thatbecomes an intense cat-and-mouse thrillerand then a beat-the-clock action pic andthen a harrowing rescue tale and finallya heart-wrenching look at the emotionalimpact of real-life heroism
No one familiar with Greengrassrsquohelming of United 93 or the second andthird entries in the Jason Bourne franchise

The starting point of Living Downstream was comparing information from statecancer registries (started in the 1970s) andthe EPArsquos Toxic Release Inventory (startedin 1986) By the 1990s Steingraber saidthere was enough information to seecancer trends You could for example seea correlation between pesticide spraying inCape Cod and cancer incidence there ldquoYoucan actually map the sort of moving shadowof cancer rdquo she said
That sort of linking she said had ldquobeendone in a couple of the highly technicaldocuments [But] no one had tried to doit for the general publicrdquo before LivingDownstream
ldquoI actually returned to myhometown moved into my sisterrsquosbasement and began an intensivestudy of the toxic-waste sites and watercontamination and the air pollution inmy home community and discoveredI was just one data point in a cluster ofcancers there Thatrsquos the story that I tellin Living Downstreamrdquo
Through that process she said shefound support for her belief that hercancer had environmental causes ldquoOneof the things that I discovered was thepresence of perchlorethylene which isdry-cleaning solvent in my hometowndrinking-water wells Perchlorethyleneis a probable bladder carcinogen So it
is likely that my own cancer was causedbecause years before I was born whenmachine shops used perchlorethyleneas a solvent to de-grease metal partssomebody dumped a vat of it out back itseeped into the groundwater and then Ias a kid grew up drinking it and paid theprice for it And still am paying the priceBecause I am now 54 and Irsquove lived for 34years as a bladder-cancer patient I live ahighly medicalized liferdquo

Monday October 28 730 pm
Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest
reason to be excited about the Adlerrsquos
booking of Memphis Ms Gloveryou see appeared in a 1997 musical
titled A Legendary Christmas at RockIslandrsquos Circa rsquo21 Dinner PlayhouseI was a Circa rsquo21 employee at thetime And my fellow B ootleggers andI would oftentimes hang with Ms
Glover after performancesThatrsquos right Memphis is the show
that makes me only two degrees ofseparation from the Tony Awards
And my parents thought that theatre
major of mine wouldnrsquot amount toanything

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

ldquoThe songs are beautifully writtenrdquosaid Greenwood ldquoand they tie right intothe story which continues as the songsunfold So now itrsquos about bringing acertain physicality to those scenes that endin conflict but doing it within the conceit

this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos

in some unsettling ways when we hang out

beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been

that happen

Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being

humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

experience you need to make that happen
What riches do you want to possess when you
are finally wise enough to make enlightened use
of them and how can you boost your eligibility
for those riches Which one of your gloriousdreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill
it but is primed to be dramatically ripened in
the coming weeks If I were you Leo I would
meditate on these questions Answers will be
forthcoming
VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty
Of course

unions so it seems only logical that thoseunions or the Democratic GovernorsAssociation or someone else would decidethat beating Rauner in a primary would beway more cost-effective than letting himout of that tight ideological Republican penand into the wide-open spaces of a generalelection
This sort of thing has never been donestatewide here before but it was pulled offlast year in Missouri by US Senator ClaireMcCaskill and the national Democratic
Senate campaign committee when they spenta combined $17 million in the Republicanprimary to help nominate Tea Partier ToddAkin who then went on to self-immolatein the fall campaign The Democrats spentmore money on Akinrsquos behalf than Akinspent on his own campaign
So could it happen hereWell nobodyrsquos talking yet but it sure
looks like a good investment particularlyfor the public-employee unions Raunerhas talked openly of shutting down stategovernment to bring AFSCME to its kneesHis pension-reform ideas include tossing outthe defined-benefit program and switchingto a defined contribution He opposesteacher tenure the right of teachers to strike
may need to step in to snuff out Raunerrsquoscampaign before he makes it out of theprimary And Democrat-affiliated groupsappear to be the most logical source of thatcash
As polling has shown Rauner has someserious negative issues in a GOP primarythat might be okay with voters in a generalelection
His close affiliation with Chicago MayorRahm Emanuel for instance has killernegative numbers among Republicans but
it wonrsquot exactly be easy for Governor PatQuinn to use that against the guy in thegeneral election
Rauner and his wife have both supportedDemocratic candidates which isnrsquot good in aRepublican contest but is a nice positive oncethe primary is over
Because Rauner is pro choice and wonrsquotsay where he stands on gay marriage he hasleft himself more than enough wiggle roomto pretty easily pivot toward supporting gaymarriage once the GOP primary is over
In other words if Rauner wins theprimary he could be a nightmare for theDemocratic Party
Rauner is strongly anti-union and hasall but vowed to break the public-employee
Bruce Rauner has closer ties to topDemocrats in this state and nationthan many Democrats do is pro-
choice and is reluctant to say where hestands on gay marriage so you wouldnrsquotthink hersquod have much chance at winning aRepublican primary for governor
But the retired multi-millionaire isrunning a pretty smart campaign and raisingtons more money than his opponents sonobody can really count him out
Bill Brady told the Chicago Sun-Times
hersquod raised a mere $75000 this past quarterwhich ended September 30 The Tribune reported that state Senator Kirk Dillard hadraised just $239000 in large contributionsduring the third quarter but hersquos stillcarrying quite a lot of debt from his failed2010 campaign for governor Treasurer DanRutherford says he raised $333000 andhas $12 million in the bank Rauner onthe other hand raised more than a milliondollars during the quarter and about $3million since he kicked off his campaignAnd he has so much personal wealth that hecould spend lots lots more
More than a few Democrats and evensome Republicans wary of Rauner are sayingthat somebody else with deep pockets

and on and on and on He also favors ldquorightto workrdquo which all of labor hates
And Quinn would probably prefer it aswell The wealthy Rauner could wind upspending a kingrsquos ransom in the generalelection Hersquos also close enough to Emanuelto make Quinn more than a little nervous
So spending a few million dollars beforenext March to expose Raunerrsquos more liberalDemocratic side to Republican-primary
voters would be a whole lot cheaper than thetens of millions it could cost to defend the
slot in the November general electionItrsquos not that Quinn would get off easy with
any of the other three RepublicansAnd itrsquos not that Rauner would be a slam-
dunk winner eitherQuinn could use the playbook that
Obama used against his wealthy GOPopponent last year ndash a playbook that Obamaborrowed from Quinnrsquos own 2010 raceagainst Brady
But Rauner appears to pose the biggestrisk to the Democrats because of hismoderate stances on social issues hisChicago ties and most of all his money

Sandra Steingraber October 22 at St Ambrose University
Personal Science
by Jeff Ignatius
jeffrcreadercom
Sandra Steingraber has bachelor anddoctorate degrees in biology and amasterrsquos in creative writing ldquoI had
long been a biologist by day and poet bynightrdquo she said in a phone interview ear-lier this month ldquoI kind of kept my writ-ing world and my science world separaterdquo
And that was herintention when sheset out to write thebook that wouldbecome LivingDownstream ldquoIt wasgoing to representmy best attemptas a biologist tosummarize the links
between cancer and the environmentrdquo shesaid
But the poet in her ended uptransforming the project into somethingunusual a deeply personal story
intertwined with a scientific one asSteingraber discusses her own cancer inthe context of the troubling relationshipbetween chemical pollution and thedisease The hook of the book she said isldquothe life behind one of the data points inthe cancer registry namely my ownrdquo
Steingraber will be speaking at StAmbrose University on October 22 aspart of the schoolrsquos Sustainability Projectwhich includes events throughout the
academic year Her lecture she said willapply the ldquoconceptual themerdquo of LivingDownstream (originally published in 1997with a second edition and film adaptationreleased in 2010) to fracking ndash inducedhydraulic fracturing to extract natural gasand petroleum
She described fracking as ldquoturningthe land inside-out for more fossil-fuelextractionrdquo and called it ldquothe biggestemergent environmental threat to publichealth in the United States right nowrdquo
Fracking she said uses knowncarcinogenic chemicals and it releasesbenzene ndash a naturally occurring substancethat also causes human cancer
Defenders of fracking claim that itschemicals remain deep in the earth butSteingraber noted that drilling creates apathway to the surface lined with cementand ldquocement is not an immortal substancerdquo
Itrsquos too early to say with certainty thatfracking causes public-health problems
but thatrsquos missing the point of LivingDownstream Fracking fits neatly into thebookrsquos argument against the status-quoregulatory premise that chemicals ndash orprocesses that use them ndash are safe until
proved otherwiseldquoWhat I conclude in Living Downstream
ndash and it came as a surprise to me when Ibegan my investigation and it still comesas a surprise to my readers ndash is that this
assumption that we have that chemicalsare actually tested for safety before theyrsquoreallowed to be marketed and sold is untrueIn fact only about 2 percent of chemicalsnow on the market ndash many of which wehave very intimate contact with ndash have ever
been tested for safetyldquoAnd then you might think Of that 2
percent surely if a substance has beendemonstrated to be a known carcinogen ndashmeaning we know it causes human cancer
ndash we would outlaw such a chemicalAnd those that may be probable or likelycarcinogens for which we have emergingevidence if not yet exact proof we wouldnrsquot
just keep exposing people contaminatingthem without their consent and then
waiting 20 or 30 years to find out if it reallyis a carcinogen Surely we would compel anindustry to demonstrate safety before wewould allow these things on the market
ldquoAnd it turns out that all thoseassumptions are wrongrdquo
Permitting fracking Steingraber saidldquois tantamount to running an uncontrolledhuman experiment on American people There is no factory wall here Frackingoccurs right in our communities right onour farmland Our land is the factoryfloor Therersquos been no demonstrationthat this is safe for peoplerdquo
Steingraber advocates a differentregulatory approach the precautionaryprinciple ndash the assumption for policypurposes that the use of toxic chemicalsis potentially dangerous and needs to beproved safe before being allowed
ldquoI see this as a v iolation of our humanrights the idea that none of us agreed to
let our bodies be used as the repositoryfor chemicals that are either known to bedangerous or have never been shown tobe saferdquo she said ldquoSo with the burden ofproof being on the public to demonstrateby our dying or our sicknesses that we havea problem wersquore actually violating peoplersquosrights to be healthy and safe and so onrdquo
With fracking she said ldquothe only moralthing to do is hit the pause button hereYou canrsquot just keep on exposing people
and create an experiment for public-healthresearchers to come and study for 20 years Even if we stopped everything now wersquodhave all kinds of great study sites to go inand look at the damagerdquo
ldquoDig Hererdquo Steingraber only needs to look at her
body to see the damage caused by thispermissive regulatory environment She
grew up in Pekin Illinois ndash ldquoIrsquom kind ofcoming homerdquo she said of her Quad Citiesappearance ndash and was diagnosed withbladder cancer at age 20
ldquoQuestions by my own diagnosingphysician in 1979 led me to believe thatmy cancer was probably caused by anenvironmental exposure during mychildhood rdquo she said ldquoHe asked Had Iever vulcanized tires Did I live next to analuminum smelter I actually did livenext to an aluminum smelter as well as 29different other industries that I lived just

Domingo Rubio left no doubt thathis Count
Dracula was in
charge during Fridayrsquos
performance of Ballet
Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula
at Molinersquos Scottish
Rite Cathedral (The
production ended
its run on Saturday)
From his bat-like
entrance ndash with the
dancer slowly f lapping
his black cape from front to back as he made
his way through the darkened auditorium ndash
to his death Rubiorsquos Dracula never seemed
controlled by anyone and that included
choreographer Deanna Carter Rubio gave
the impression that his Dracula wasnrsquot mov-
ing because Carter gave him predetermined
choreography but because it was the way he
wanted to move
Dracula was not the first character to grace
the stage however This balletic horror storystarted with Patrick Greenrsquos Renfield in an
asylum in England and Greenrsquos movements
left no question about his characterrsquos mental
state as he hopped around on all fours
mixing in graceful steps and arm sweeps
from the floor to his mouth (This Renfield
showed a penchant for eating bugs) He was
accompanied by a group of fellow patients
wearing crazed-hair wigs and moving in
an often chaotic frenzy their movements
sometimes aligning with his in a sort of linedance reminiscent of Michael Jacksonrsquos creepy
ldquoThrillerrdquo video Greenrsquos portrayal was so
dynamic and Carterrsquos choreography so true
to the character that it was unfortunate that
Renfield did not play more prominently in
the story
Then again it seemed hard if not
impossible for anyone to match Rubiorsquos
command of the stage Rubio increased the
nobility and authority of his blood-sucking
count through movements that were neverstaccato or halting and his always-graceful
arcs and sweeps seemed to emanate from
his commanding tone It was as though
Rubiorsquos Dracula cast his spells by way of his
movement which was most evident when
he first met Jill Schwartzrsquos virginal Lucy the
recently engaged woman on whom Dracula
has set his eyes While she fell under his
control Carter choreographed mimicked
movements as Schwartz danced with
precision while Rubio went through the same
motions but with a fluidity that made it clear
that his Dracula was taking charge of Lucyrsquos
will
What was also remarkable about Rubiorsquos
performance in addition to his flowing
dominance was his sensuality an essence thatwas neither lusty
nor base Dracularsquos
suggestive nature
started with Rubiorsquos
costume which
included a black
long-sleeve mesh
shirt While Rubiorsquos
torso was visible
the slightly opaque
nature of this shirt
created a sexiness
that was more effective than bare skin would
have been because his costume made it seem
as though we were getting a mere peek at his
physique we were allowed to discover his
body rather than having it fully presented to
us And with this look combined with Rubiorsquos
authority and grace Dracularsquos sexuality here
was a force to be reckoned with
In contrast there was a wilder nature to
Dracularsquos brides portrayed by Marie Buser
Margaret Huling and Tessa Moore Their free-flowing hair and the abandon in their dancing
more than suggested their charactersrsquo interest
in the sins of the flesh particularly as they
seduced Alec Rothrsquos Jonathan Harker during
his visit to Dracularsquos Transylvania castle The
sexy demeanor of these dancers was topped
only by Lucyrsquos as she was ultimately taken in
by Dracula With Schwartz dressed in a sheer
red nightgown over clothing that matched
her skin tone her pas de deux with Rubio was
the lustiest encounter of the evening Whilethey danced Schwartzrsquos gown would ride up
her body and give the impression of her being
nude underneath the shock of which was
only overpowered by a realistic special effect
employed when Dracula bit her neck and sent
a wash of dark blood down her chest
Lucy was eventually staked through the
heart under the order of Jacob Lyonrsquos Dr Van
Helsing called in to diagnose what was wrong
with the now-erratic woman With his new
bride truly dead Dracula then vied for theaffections of Jonathanrsquos fianceacute Emily Kate
Longrsquos innocent Mina Murray-Harker who
became the bait in a final battle between Van
Helsing and Dracula that contrasted Rubiorsquos
grace with Lyonrsquos technique
But all throughout the production it was
evident why Ballet Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula with
Rubio returning in the role is so often part of
the companyrsquos seasons Carterrsquos choreography
creates a story thatrsquos easy to follow ndash although
it does require the aid of the programrsquos
thorough plot description to understand the
characters ndash and the sexuality of the piece is
intoxicating with enough horrific elements
added to both shock and please during its
hour-long performance

Three instantly recognizablenames Three iconic artists withenormous fan bases and lengthy listsof professional accomplishments Andtaken together three of the last people youmight expect to find collaborating on amusical for the stage
That however is precisely what book-writer King composer Mellencamp andproducermusical director Burnett didand what resulted was Ghost Brothersof Darkland County a song-filled
supernatural Southern Gothic that hadits world premiere last year in a run atAtlantarsquos Alliance Theatre
Yet when local audiences see theshow ndash which theyrsquoll be able to whenthe touring Ghost Brothers of DarklandCounty lands at Davenportrsquos AdlerTheatre on November 3 ndash it wonrsquot be quitethe same one that audiences in Atlantaexperienced For one thing this currentproduction stars noted film and television
actor Bruce Greenwood famed for rolesin such big-screen entertainments asThirteen Days (in which he played JFKduring the Cuban missile crisis) FlightCapote and director JJ Abramsrsquo Star Trekmovies which found the actor portraying the(Spoiler Alert) doomed Captain ChristopherPike
ldquoThis was just something that was sodifferent for merdquo said Greenwood duringour phone interview about his present
momentary break from filmmaking ldquoBut Ithought lsquoWell you know yeah ndash let me takesix weeks off and go have a different kind offunrsquordquo
But an even more crucial differencebetween the Ghost Brothers of Atlanta and theGhost Brothers of its current 20-city tour isthat the musical in question is technically nolonger a musical Itrsquos now as director SusanV Booth explained in an e-mail interview ldquoakind of live radio playrdquo that ldquoreally is a wholenew version of the show
ldquoWe didnrsquot just pack up the set andthe costumes and hit the roadrdquo Boothwrote during the rehearsal process forGhost Brothersrsquo tour (which debuted inBloomington Indiana on October 10)
ldquoThe actors deliver the material arounda radio mic with very little else but theirspirits and voices Itrsquos ending up makingthe show much more powerful by makingit much more entwined with the audiencersquosimaginationrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a really interesting formatrdquoGreenwood added ldquoItrsquos a very spareenvironment But of course the environment
of terror that Stephen creates is Thedemon is between your ears you know Itrsquosnot so much in your physical surroundingsrdquo
Landing the FishBooth currently serves as artistic director
for the Alliance Theatre ndash recipient of theprestigious 2007 Regional Theatre TonyAward for ldquooutstanding achievement by aprofessional non-profit regional theatrerdquondash and stated that getting to work on Ghost
Brothers had been a dream long before sheeven knew of its existence
ldquoYears agordquo Booth said ldquoI had beenasked what projects Irsquod hoped to bring tothe Alliance Theatre during my time there
I said I hoped to get John Mellencampto write a musical because I alwaysthought that his songs were thesebrilliant character studies A few yearslater a mutual friend reached out tome and told me that he had in factalready written one and that hersquodpartnered with no less than StephenKing
ldquoI started trying to land that fishthen ndash and it only took another fewyears before the conversation beganrdquo
The collaboration between longtimefriends Mellencamp and King (and
as of 2010 Burnett) began in 2000with a true story told by the Grammy-winning rocker involving two brothersa girl they both loved an accidentalkilling and a car crash Over thenext decade ndash and with Mellencampproviding bluegrass gospel and roots-rock voice for the characters ndash this talemorphed into a more recognizablyKing-ian narrative complete withburied family secrets and a mysterious
Satanic entity referred to as ldquoTheShaperdquo
ldquoThe Alliance has a rich history ofdeveloping and producing new Americanmusicalsrdquo said Booth ldquoso the fit was goodAnd as a Midwesterner who grew up readingKing and listening to Mellencamp ndash and nowliving in the South ndash I felt like the world ofthe play made personal sense to me so I putup my hand and said Irsquod like to directrdquo
Happily for Booth ldquothey were good
enough to say yesrdquo (In a 2011 pressconference King ndash as quoted by the Atlantaweekly Neighbor Newspapers ndash stated ldquoWewanted a place that was cosmopolitan butnot out-of-touch with country roots Atlantaseemed like the middle of the bullrsquos eyerdquo)
Yet Booth said it was clear even from thestart of Ghost Brothersrsquo 2012 rehearsals thatthe show ndash befitting its eclectic behind-the-scenes talent ndash wasnrsquot going to be any kind oftraditional musical-theatre experience
ldquoI think the silliest thing you could dowhen yoursquore working with three artists whoare lions in their fields is to try to shoehorntheir talents into some existing moldrdquo she

final cadence
In a post-concert interview Torke
said he was ldquothrilledrdquo with the
orchestrarsquos rendering With emphatic
conducting gestures Torke said
ldquoMarkrsquos slower tempo made my music
more grand than I originally imaginedrdquo
Smithrsquos interpretation of the new
music and the orchestrarsquos performance
were energized vivid and taut Heavily
doubled with many instrumentalcombinations playing the same musical
figures the orchestra effectively shaped
the thematic repetitions into a slowly
changing musical kaleidoscope
Torkersquos ideas were concise and
intense yet more dazzling than
substantive more sensuous than
profound But they were orchestrated
and developed with great skill toward
the goal of inculcating the audience
with anticipation and it workedA delightful addition to the program
was Wootenrsquos customized narration to
Brittenrsquos instrumental-demonstration
piece A complete redo of Eric Crozierrsquos
original sterile text Wooten not
only editorialized about the nature
of each instrumental family and its
components but named most of the
performers as they played through the
variations He added a spattering of
insider humor as well with commentssuch as ldquoThe brass can be very loud
so they must sit in the backrdquo and
ldquoPercussion are kept in the kitchen
where they can bang on anything in
front of themrdquo these drew chuckles
from the audience and on-stage
reactions with musicians smiling as
they played
It was in this light piece that the
orchestra created its most glorious
moment of the night The brilliantmusical unification of the noble
opening brass theme with the fast
fanciful unison fugue theme at the
end produced a gripping symphonic
experience
And the Brahms was convincingly
dramatic and played with secure
technical command The slow
compound rhythmic figures in the
first and second movements drifted
seamlessly between the orchestra andsoloist Close communication between
Smith and Biss led to quiet whispers
of tone in their reflecting exchanges
The first Masterworks concertof the Quad City Symphonyrsquos99th season was a checkerboard
of strengths and weaknesses Huge
transcendent moments filled the AdlerTheatre in the October 5 concert but
when things got quiet discrepancies
in tone color balance and rhythm ap-peared
Under the direction of Music
Director and Conductor Mark RussellSmith the orchestra explored four
diverse approaches to compositionin reverse chronological order
Commissioned by the Quad City
Symphony the world premiere ofAmerican composer Michael Torkersquos
Oracle opened the program followed
by fellow countryman Aaron JayKernisrsquo Musica Celestis featuring
only the strings The mid-20th
Centuryrsquos Young Personrsquos Guide tothe Orchestra by British composer
Benjamin Britten ndash with humorousnarration by local media personality
Don Wooten ndash completed the first half
After intermission pianist JonathanBiss joined the orchestra for Johannes
Brahmsrsquo Concerto for Piano No 1
The concert was an elegantlydesigned program that included
a variety of contemporary works
balanced by a classic masterpiecebut ndash except for Torke ndash it was not
a good selection of music for thisorchestra In the tutti sections when
all the instruments were played the
mixture of timbre was profuse Yet asthe scoring broke down into smaller
instrumental combinations the
differences in individual colors becamemore problematic The result was tonal
incompatibility both among the same
instruments and between instrumentalfamilies
Torkersquos four-minute opener was a
clear highlight The music in the scoreappeared to be simple ndash quarter and
eighth notes laid out across the pagewith unchanging whole-note pitches
held for several bars But when the
orchestra played them the wholenotes became expanding waves of
sonic clusters that washed over you
The shorter notes became a pulsatingengine propelling the waves higher
and sending them crashing into you
Wave after wave with subtle changesin orchestration and pitch formed the
core gestures of a piece that grew to its

will be surprised to learn that on atechnical level Captain Phillips isclose to breathtaking With The HurtLocker rsquos Barry Ackroyd serving ascinematographer Greengrassrsquo seeminglycaught-on-the-fly (yet surely rigorouslythought-out) compositions arepresented with clarity and immediacy
and Christopher Rousersquos marvelouslysharp editing ndash combined with thepropulsive thrust of composer HenryJackmanrsquos superb score ndash makes yougrateful that breathing is an involuntarybodily function
Sterling technique of the sortdisplayed here would handily makeGreengrassrsquo outing first-rate Itrsquos themoviersquos humans that make it potentiallyunforgettable I was thrilled that the
direction and Rayrsquos script gave Abdiand Musersquos heavily armed companionsndash very well-played by BarkhadAbdirahman Faysal Ahmed and MahatM Ali ndash numerous opportunities fornuance especially in roles that couldhave been stereotypical or at worstactively offensive But I was less thrilledthan flabbergasted that Hanks afterso many going-through-the-motionsperformances in the years since 2000rsquosCast Away could again appear on-
screen this vital and connected andalive with his last 10 minutes hereperhaps marking a new high point inthe career of the two-time Oscar winner(I was literally shaking during his finalscene Not as much as he was butshaking nonetheless) Captain Phillips is
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Wersquove all seen movies that beginspectacularly well but seem to slowly sadlylose their inspiration as they progressleaving you to wonder by their finaleswhat it was that initially had you so jazzedabout them Paul Greengrassrsquo dramaticthriller Captain Phillips Irsquom happy tosay is not one of those movies Actuallyit might be the exact opposite of oneof those movies a work that starts outdistractingly shaky yet gradually morphsinto something utterly spectacular ndash so spectacular in truth that you can barelyremember how off-put you were by thecomparative bummer of its early scenes
Barely remembering however isnrsquotquite the same as forgetting so al low me toaddress Captain Phillipsrsquo first 15 minutes
before commencing with my praiseBased on the real-life 2009 hijacking ofan American cargo ship by four well-armed Somalis director Greengrassrsquo latestopens in the suburban-Vermont homeof the shiprsquos captain Richard Phillips ashe prepares for his il l-fated voyage Weknow by the gentle light homey deacutecor andPhillipsrsquo packing of a family photo that hersquosa man of fundamental decency a notionexacerbated by the casting of Tom Hanks
an actor whorsquos spent the vast majority ofhis screen career with ldquoMan of the Peoplerdquopractically stenciled on his forehead (Foradded telegraphing Catherine ldquoSalt of theEarthrdquo Keener is cast as Phillipsrsquo wife)
But while this quiet introduction wouldalmost certainly be all wersquod require forempathy Greengrass and screenwriterBilly Ray ndash adapting co-authors Phillipsrsquo
and StephenTaltyrsquosnonfictionaccount ofthe tale ndashdonrsquot appearentirelyconvinced
Insteadtheir openeris followeda strangelydidactic ride-to-the-airport scene in which the spouseshave a melancholy chat about their kidsrsquofutures and the uncertain economy andhow ldquothings arenrsquot the way they used to berdquotheir conversation sounding resoundinglylike scripted (ie forced) dialogue And
by the time Phill ips has boarded his shipdemanding safety inspections and drillsthat his union crew discreetly roll theireyes at the manrsquos incorruptible goodnessalready feels oppressive ndash and is evidencedfurther when you notice that Phillips hadthat family photo also printed on his coffeemug (So why pack the picture) We get ityou want to say Phillips plus Hanks equalssaint
Greengrass and Ray do at least hint thatCaptain Phillips will be less cut-and-driedthan its prelude suggests with their earlyinclusion of a sequence set in a depressedSomali outpost Entrenched in theenvironmentrsquos horrific poverty easy accessto artillery and constant looming threatof violence wersquore made to understand theconditions that could lead to an oceanichijacking ndash conditions that can alsobe read in full in the gaunt haunted
murderouslydeterminedface of BarkhadAbdi whoportrays (ina sensationalfilm debut)the missionrsquos
eventual leaderMuse Whilenever overtlysympathizingwith Muse
and the three other Somali pirates whoboard Phillipsrsquo ship the movie refuses to
view its antagonists solely as ldquothe otherrdquowhich is a refreshing break from the normIt wouldrsquove been even more refreshingI thought if th is werenrsquot the very same
tactic employed by Greengrass for his 911thriller United 93 despite the undeniableprofessionalism of its presentation Ispent the moviersquos first 15 minutes feelinglike Greengrass in Captain Phillipswas traveling on perhaps-too-well-trodground
And here is where my complainingends Because from the moment Phillipsbecomes aware of the Somalis (in twoboats initially) trailing his ship thefilm turns into something downrightextraordinary a dramatic procedural thatbecomes an intense cat-and-mouse thrillerand then a beat-the-clock action pic andthen a harrowing rescue tale and finallya heart-wrenching look at the emotionalimpact of real-life heroism
No one familiar with Greengrassrsquohelming of United 93 or the second andthird entries in the Jason Bourne franchise

The starting point of Living Downstream was comparing information from statecancer registries (started in the 1970s) andthe EPArsquos Toxic Release Inventory (startedin 1986) By the 1990s Steingraber saidthere was enough information to seecancer trends You could for example seea correlation between pesticide spraying inCape Cod and cancer incidence there ldquoYoucan actually map the sort of moving shadowof cancer rdquo she said
That sort of linking she said had ldquobeendone in a couple of the highly technicaldocuments [But] no one had tried to doit for the general publicrdquo before LivingDownstream

Theatre MemphisAdler Theatre
Monday October 28 730 pm
Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest
reason to be excited about the Adlerrsquos
booking of Memphis Ms Gloveryou see appeared in a 1997 musical
titled A Legendary Christmas at RockIslandrsquos Circa rsquo21 Dinner PlayhouseI was a Circa rsquo21 employee at thetime And my fellow B ootleggers andI would oftentimes hang with Ms
Glover after performancesThatrsquos right Memphis is the show
that makes me only two degrees ofseparation from the Tony Awards
And my parents thought that theatre
major of mine wouldnrsquot amount toanything

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

ldquoThe songs are beautifully writtenrdquosaid Greenwood ldquoand they tie right intothe story which continues as the songsunfold So now itrsquos about bringing acertain physicality to those scenes that endin conflict but doing it within the conceit

four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos
fast becoming one of your best girlfriends ndash
although probably not the one to go to when
you need to borrow a tampon

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

experience you need to make that happen
What riches do you want to possess when you
are finally wise enough to make enlightened use
of them and how can you boost your eligibility
for those riches Which one of your gloriousdreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill
it but is primed to be dramatically ripened in
the coming weeks If I were you Leo I would
meditate on these questions Answers will be
forthcoming
VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

unions so it seems only logical that thoseunions or the Democratic GovernorsAssociation or someone else would decidethat beating Rauner in a primary would beway more cost-effective than letting himout of that tight ideological Republican penand into the wide-open spaces of a generalelection
This sort of thing has never been donestatewide here before but it was pulled offlast year in Missouri by US Senator ClaireMcCaskill and the national Democratic
Senate campaign committee when they spenta combined $17 million in the Republicanprimary to help nominate Tea Partier ToddAkin who then went on to self-immolatein the fall campaign The Democrats spentmore money on Akinrsquos behalf than Akinspent on his own campaign
So could it happen hereWell nobodyrsquos talking yet but it sure
looks like a good investment particularlyfor the public-employee unions Raunerhas talked openly of shutting down stategovernment to bring AFSCME to its kneesHis pension-reform ideas include tossing outthe defined-benefit program and switchingto a defined contribution He opposesteacher tenure the right of teachers to strike
may need to step in to snuff out Raunerrsquoscampaign before he makes it out of theprimary And Democrat-affiliated groupsappear to be the most logical source of thatcash
As polling has shown Rauner has someserious negative issues in a GOP primarythat might be okay with voters in a generalelection
His close affiliation with Chicago MayorRahm Emanuel for instance has killernegative numbers among Republicans but
it wonrsquot exactly be easy for Governor PatQuinn to use that against the guy in thegeneral election
Rauner and his wife have both supportedDemocratic candidates which isnrsquot good in aRepublican contest but is a nice positive oncethe primary is over
Because Rauner is pro choice and wonrsquotsay where he stands on gay marriage he hasleft himself more than enough wiggle roomto pretty easily pivot toward supporting gaymarriage once the GOP primary is over
In other words if Rauner wins theprimary he could be a nightmare for theDemocratic Party
Rauner is strongly anti-union and hasall but vowed to break the public-employee
Bruce Rauner has closer ties to topDemocrats in this state and nationthan many Democrats do is pro-
choice and is reluctant to say where hestands on gay marriage so you wouldnrsquotthink hersquod have much chance at winning aRepublican primary for governor
But the retired multi-millionaire isrunning a pretty smart campaign and raisingtons more money than his opponents sonobody can really count him out
Bill Brady told the Chicago Sun-Times
hersquod raised a mere $75000 this past quarterwhich ended September 30 The Tribune reported that state Senator Kirk Dillard hadraised just $239000 in large contributionsduring the third quarter but hersquos stillcarrying quite a lot of debt from his failed2010 campaign for governor Treasurer DanRutherford says he raised $333000 andhas $12 million in the bank Rauner onthe other hand raised more than a milliondollars during the quarter and about $3million since he kicked off his campaignAnd he has so much personal wealth that hecould spend lots lots more
More than a few Democrats and evensome Republicans wary of Rauner are sayingthat somebody else with deep pockets

and on and on and on He also favors ldquorightto workrdquo which all of labor hates
And Quinn would probably prefer it aswell The wealthy Rauner could wind upspending a kingrsquos ransom in the generalelection Hersquos also close enough to Emanuelto make Quinn more than a little nervous
So spending a few million dollars beforenext March to expose Raunerrsquos more liberalDemocratic side to Republican-primary
voters would be a whole lot cheaper than thetens of millions it could cost to defend the
slot in the November general electionItrsquos not that Quinn would get off easy with
any of the other three RepublicansAnd itrsquos not that Rauner would be a slam-
dunk winner eitherQuinn could use the playbook that
Obama used against his wealthy GOPopponent last year ndash a playbook that Obamaborrowed from Quinnrsquos own 2010 raceagainst Brady
But Rauner appears to pose the biggestrisk to the Democrats because of hismoderate stances on social issues hisChicago ties and most of all his money

Sandra Steingraber October 22 at St Ambrose University
Personal Science
by Jeff Ignatius
jeffrcreadercom
Sandra Steingraber has bachelor anddoctorate degrees in biology and amasterrsquos in creative writing ldquoI had
long been a biologist by day and poet bynightrdquo she said in a phone interview ear-lier this month ldquoI kind of kept my writ-ing world and my science world separaterdquo
And that was herintention when sheset out to write thebook that wouldbecome LivingDownstream ldquoIt wasgoing to representmy best attemptas a biologist tosummarize the links
between cancer and the environmentrdquo shesaid
But the poet in her ended uptransforming the project into somethingunusual a deeply personal story
intertwined with a scientific one asSteingraber discusses her own cancer inthe context of the troubling relationshipbetween chemical pollution and thedisease The hook of the book she said isldquothe life behind one of the data points inthe cancer registry namely my ownrdquo
Steingraber will be speaking at StAmbrose University on October 22 aspart of the schoolrsquos Sustainability Projectwhich includes events throughout the
academic year Her lecture she said willapply the ldquoconceptual themerdquo of LivingDownstream (originally published in 1997with a second edition and film adaptationreleased in 2010) to fracking ndash inducedhydraulic fracturing to extract natural gasand petroleum
She described fracking as ldquoturningthe land inside-out for more fossil-fuelextractionrdquo and called it ldquothe biggestemergent environmental threat to publichealth in the United States right nowrdquo
Fracking she said uses knowncarcinogenic chemicals and it releasesbenzene ndash a naturally occurring substancethat also causes human cancer
Defenders of fracking claim that itschemicals remain deep in the earth butSteingraber noted that drilling creates apathway to the surface lined with cementand ldquocement is not an immortal substancerdquo
Itrsquos too early to say with certainty thatfracking causes public-health problems
but thatrsquos missing the point of LivingDownstream Fracking fits neatly into thebookrsquos argument against the status-quoregulatory premise that chemicals ndash orprocesses that use them ndash are safe until
proved otherwiseldquoWhat I conclude in Living Downstream
ndash and it came as a surprise to me when Ibegan my investigation and it still comesas a surprise to my readers ndash is that this
assumption that we have that chemicalsare actually tested for safety before theyrsquoreallowed to be marketed and sold is untrueIn fact only about 2 percent of chemicalsnow on the market ndash many of which wehave very intimate contact with ndash have ever
been tested for safetyldquoAnd then you might think Of that 2
percent surely if a substance has beendemonstrated to be a known carcinogen ndashmeaning we know it causes human cancer
ndash we would outlaw such a chemicalAnd those that may be probable or likelycarcinogens for which we have emergingevidence if not yet exact proof we wouldnrsquot
just keep exposing people contaminatingthem without their consent and then
waiting 20 or 30 years to find out if it reallyis a carcinogen Surely we would compel anindustry to demonstrate safety before wewould allow these things on the market
ldquoAnd it turns out that all thoseassumptions are wrongrdquo
Permitting fracking Steingraber saidldquois tantamount to running an uncontrolledhuman experiment on American people There is no factory wall here Frackingoccurs right in our communities right onour farmland Our land is the factoryfloor Therersquos been no demonstrationthat this is safe for peoplerdquo
Steingraber advocates a differentregulatory approach the precautionaryprinciple ndash the assumption for policypurposes that the use of toxic chemicalsis potentially dangerous and needs to beproved safe before being allowed
ldquoI see this as a v iolation of our humanrights the idea that none of us agreed to
let our bodies be used as the repositoryfor chemicals that are either known to bedangerous or have never been shown tobe saferdquo she said ldquoSo with the burden ofproof being on the public to demonstrateby our dying or our sicknesses that we havea problem wersquore actually violating peoplersquosrights to be healthy and safe and so onrdquo
With fracking she said ldquothe only moralthing to do is hit the pause button hereYou canrsquot just keep on exposing people
and create an experiment for public-healthresearchers to come and study for 20 years Even if we stopped everything now wersquodhave all kinds of great study sites to go inand look at the damagerdquo
ldquoDig Hererdquo Steingraber only needs to look at her
body to see the damage caused by thispermissive regulatory environment She
grew up in Pekin Illinois ndash ldquoIrsquom kind ofcoming homerdquo she said of her Quad Citiesappearance ndash and was diagnosed withbladder cancer at age 20
ldquoQuestions by my own diagnosingphysician in 1979 led me to believe thatmy cancer was probably caused by anenvironmental exposure during mychildhood rdquo she said ldquoHe asked Had Iever vulcanized tires Did I live next to analuminum smelter I actually did livenext to an aluminum smelter as well as 29different other industries that I lived just

Domingo Rubio left no doubt thathis Count
Dracula was in
charge during Fridayrsquos
performance of Ballet
Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula
at Molinersquos Scottish
Rite Cathedral (The
production ended
its run on Saturday)
From his bat-like
entrance ndash with the
dancer slowly f lapping
his black cape from front to back as he made
his way through the darkened auditorium ndash
to his death Rubiorsquos Dracula never seemed
controlled by anyone and that included
choreographer Deanna Carter Rubio gave
the impression that his Dracula wasnrsquot mov-
ing because Carter gave him predetermined
choreography but because it was the way he
wanted to move
Dracula was not the first character to grace
the stage however This balletic horror storystarted with Patrick Greenrsquos Renfield in an
asylum in England and Greenrsquos movements
left no question about his characterrsquos mental
state as he hopped around on all fours
mixing in graceful steps and arm sweeps
from the floor to his mouth (This Renfield
showed a penchant for eating bugs) He was
accompanied by a group of fellow patients
wearing crazed-hair wigs and moving in
an often chaotic frenzy their movements
sometimes aligning with his in a sort of linedance reminiscent of Michael Jacksonrsquos creepy
ldquoThrillerrdquo video Greenrsquos portrayal was so
dynamic and Carterrsquos choreography so true
to the character that it was unfortunate that
Renfield did not play more prominently in
the story
Then again it seemed hard if not
impossible for anyone to match Rubiorsquos
command of the stage Rubio increased the
nobility and authority of his blood-sucking
count through movements that were neverstaccato or halting and his always-graceful
arcs and sweeps seemed to emanate from
his commanding tone It was as though
Rubiorsquos Dracula cast his spells by way of his
movement which was most evident when
he first met Jill Schwartzrsquos virginal Lucy the
recently engaged woman on whom Dracula
has set his eyes While she fell under his
control Carter choreographed mimicked
movements as Schwartz danced with
precision while Rubio went through the same
motions but with a fluidity that made it clear
that his Dracula was taking charge of Lucyrsquos
will
What was also remarkable about Rubiorsquos
performance in addition to his flowing
dominance was his sensuality an essence thatwas neither lusty
nor base Dracularsquos
suggestive nature
started with Rubiorsquos
costume which
included a black
long-sleeve mesh
shirt While Rubiorsquos
torso was visible
the slightly opaque
nature of this shirt
created a sexiness
that was more effective than bare skin would
have been because his costume made it seem
as though we were getting a mere peek at his
physique we were allowed to discover his
body rather than having it fully presented to
us And with this look combined with Rubiorsquos
authority and grace Dracularsquos sexuality here
was a force to be reckoned with
In contrast there was a wilder nature to
Dracularsquos brides portrayed by Marie Buser
Margaret Huling and Tessa Moore Their free-flowing hair and the abandon in their dancing
more than suggested their charactersrsquo interest
in the sins of the flesh particularly as they
seduced Alec Rothrsquos Jonathan Harker during
his visit to Dracularsquos Transylvania castle The
sexy demeanor of these dancers was topped
only by Lucyrsquos as she was ultimately taken in
by Dracula With Schwartz dressed in a sheer
red nightgown over clothing that matched
her skin tone her pas de deux with Rubio was
the lustiest encounter of the evening Whilethey danced Schwartzrsquos gown would ride up
her body and give the impression of her being
nude underneath the shock of which was
only overpowered by a realistic special effect
employed when Dracula bit her neck and sent
a wash of dark blood down her chest
Lucy was eventually staked through the
heart under the order of Jacob Lyonrsquos Dr Van
Helsing called in to diagnose what was wrong
with the now-erratic woman With his new
bride truly dead Dracula then vied for theaffections of Jonathanrsquos fianceacute Emily Kate
Longrsquos innocent Mina Murray-Harker who
became the bait in a final battle between Van
Helsing and Dracula that contrasted Rubiorsquos
grace with Lyonrsquos technique
But all throughout the production it was
evident why Ballet Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula with
Rubio returning in the role is so often part of
the companyrsquos seasons Carterrsquos choreography
creates a story thatrsquos easy to follow ndash although
it does require the aid of the programrsquos
thorough plot description to understand the
characters ndash and the sexuality of the piece is
intoxicating with enough horrific elements
added to both shock and please during its
hour-long performance

tephen King John Mellencamp TBone Burnett
Three instantly recognizablenames Three iconic artists withenormous fan bases and lengthy listsof professional accomplishments Andtaken together three of the last people youmight expect to find collaborating on amusical for the stage
That however is precisely what book-writer King composer Mellencamp andproducermusical director Burnett didand what resulted was Ghost Brothersof Darkland County a song-filled
supernatural Southern Gothic that hadits world premiere last year in a run atAtlantarsquos Alliance Theatre
Yet when local audiences see theshow ndash which theyrsquoll be able to whenthe touring Ghost Brothers of DarklandCounty lands at Davenportrsquos AdlerTheatre on November 3 ndash it wonrsquot be quitethe same one that audiences in Atlantaexperienced For one thing this currentproduction stars noted film and television
actor Bruce Greenwood famed for rolesin such big-screen entertainments asThirteen Days (in which he played JFKduring the Cuban missile crisis) FlightCapote and director JJ Abramsrsquo Star Trekmovies which found the actor portraying the(Spoiler Alert) doomed Captain ChristopherPike
ldquoThis was just something that was sodifferent for merdquo said Greenwood duringour phone interview about his present
momentary break from filmmaking ldquoBut Ithought lsquoWell you know yeah ndash let me takesix weeks off and go have a different kind offunrsquordquo
But an even more crucial differencebetween the Ghost Brothers of Atlanta and theGhost Brothers of its current 20-city tour isthat the musical in question is technically nolonger a musical Itrsquos now as director SusanV Booth explained in an e-mail interview ldquoakind of live radio playrdquo that ldquoreally is a wholenew version of the show
ldquoWe didnrsquot just pack up the set andthe costumes and hit the roadrdquo Boothwrote during the rehearsal process forGhost Brothersrsquo tour (which debuted inBloomington Indiana on October 10)
ldquoThe actors deliver the material arounda radio mic with very little else but theirspirits and voices Itrsquos ending up makingthe show much more powerful by makingit much more entwined with the audiencersquosimaginationrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a really interesting formatrdquoGreenwood added ldquoItrsquos a very spareenvironment But of course the environment
of terror that Stephen creates is Thedemon is between your ears you know Itrsquosnot so much in your physical surroundingsrdquo
Landing the FishBooth currently serves as artistic director
for the Alliance Theatre ndash recipient of theprestigious 2007 Regional Theatre TonyAward for ldquooutstanding achievement by aprofessional non-profit regional theatrerdquondash and stated that getting to work on Ghost
Brothers had been a dream long before sheeven knew of its existence
ldquoYears agordquo Booth said ldquoI had beenasked what projects Irsquod hoped to bring tothe Alliance Theatre during my time there
I said I hoped to get John Mellencampto write a musical because I alwaysthought that his songs were thesebrilliant character studies A few yearslater a mutual friend reached out tome and told me that he had in factalready written one and that hersquodpartnered with no less than StephenKing
ldquoI started trying to land that fishthen ndash and it only took another fewyears before the conversation beganrdquo
The collaboration between longtimefriends Mellencamp and King (and
as of 2010 Burnett) began in 2000with a true story told by the Grammy-winning rocker involving two brothersa girl they both loved an accidentalkilling and a car crash Over thenext decade ndash and with Mellencampproviding bluegrass gospel and roots-rock voice for the characters ndash this talemorphed into a more recognizablyKing-ian narrative complete withburied family secrets and a mysterious
Satanic entity referred to as ldquoTheShaperdquo
ldquoThe Alliance has a rich history ofdeveloping and producing new Americanmusicalsrdquo said Booth ldquoso the fit was goodAnd as a Midwesterner who grew up readingKing and listening to Mellencamp ndash and nowliving in the South ndash I felt like the world ofthe play made personal sense to me so I putup my hand and said Irsquod like to directrdquo
Happily for Booth ldquothey were good
enough to say yesrdquo (In a 2011 pressconference King ndash as quoted by the Atlantaweekly Neighbor Newspapers ndash stated ldquoWewanted a place that was cosmopolitan butnot out-of-touch with country roots Atlantaseemed like the middle of the bullrsquos eyerdquo)
Yet Booth said it was clear even from thestart of Ghost Brothersrsquo 2012 rehearsals thatthe show ndash befitting its eclectic behind-the-scenes talent ndash wasnrsquot going to be any kind oftraditional musical-theatre experience
ldquoI think the silliest thing you could dowhen yoursquore working with three artists whoare lions in their fields is to try to shoehorntheir talents into some existing moldrdquo she

final cadence
In a post-concert interview Torke
said he was ldquothrilledrdquo with the
orchestrarsquos rendering With emphatic
conducting gestures Torke said
ldquoMarkrsquos slower tempo made my music
more grand than I originally imaginedrdquo
Smithrsquos interpretation of the new
music and the orchestrarsquos performance
were energized vivid and taut Heavily
doubled with many instrumentalcombinations playing the same musical
figures the orchestra effectively shaped
the thematic repetitions into a slowly
changing musical kaleidoscope
Torkersquos ideas were concise and
intense yet more dazzling than
substantive more sensuous than
profound But they were orchestrated
and developed with great skill toward
the goal of inculcating the audience
with anticipation and it workedA delightful addition to the program
was Wootenrsquos customized narration to
Brittenrsquos instrumental-demonstration
piece A complete redo of Eric Crozierrsquos
original sterile text Wooten not
only editorialized about the nature
of each instrumental family and its
components but named most of the
performers as they played through the
variations He added a spattering of
insider humor as well with commentssuch as ldquoThe brass can be very loud
so they must sit in the backrdquo and
ldquoPercussion are kept in the kitchen
where they can bang on anything in
front of themrdquo these drew chuckles
from the audience and on-stage
reactions with musicians smiling as
they played
It was in this light piece that the
orchestra created its most glorious
moment of the night The brilliantmusical unification of the noble
opening brass theme with the fast
fanciful unison fugue theme at the
end produced a gripping symphonic
experience
And the Brahms was convincingly
dramatic and played with secure
technical command The slow
compound rhythmic figures in the
first and second movements drifted
seamlessly between the orchestra andsoloist Close communication between
Smith and Biss led to quiet whispers
of tone in their reflecting exchanges
The first Masterworks concertof the Quad City Symphonyrsquos99th season was a checkerboard
of strengths and weaknesses Huge
transcendent moments filled the AdlerTheatre in the October 5 concert but
when things got quiet discrepancies
in tone color balance and rhythm ap-peared
Under the direction of Music
Director and Conductor Mark RussellSmith the orchestra explored four
diverse approaches to compositionin reverse chronological order
Commissioned by the Quad City
Symphony the world premiere ofAmerican composer Michael Torkersquos
Oracle opened the program followed
by fellow countryman Aaron JayKernisrsquo Musica Celestis featuring
only the strings The mid-20th
Centuryrsquos Young Personrsquos Guide tothe Orchestra by British composer
Benjamin Britten ndash with humorousnarration by local media personality
Don Wooten ndash completed the first half
After intermission pianist JonathanBiss joined the orchestra for Johannes
Brahmsrsquo Concerto for Piano No 1
The concert was an elegantlydesigned program that included
a variety of contemporary works
balanced by a classic masterpiecebut ndash except for Torke ndash it was not
a good selection of music for thisorchestra In the tutti sections when
all the instruments were played the
mixture of timbre was profuse Yet asthe scoring broke down into smaller
instrumental combinations the
differences in individual colors becamemore problematic The result was tonal
incompatibility both among the same
instruments and between instrumentalfamilies
Torkersquos four-minute opener was a
clear highlight The music in the scoreappeared to be simple ndash quarter and
eighth notes laid out across the pagewith unchanging whole-note pitches
held for several bars But when the
orchestra played them the wholenotes became expanding waves of
sonic clusters that washed over you
The shorter notes became a pulsatingengine propelling the waves higher
and sending them crashing into you
Wave after wave with subtle changesin orchestration and pitch formed the
core gestures of a piece that grew to its

will be surprised to learn that on atechnical level Captain Phillips isclose to breathtaking With The HurtLocker rsquos Barry Ackroyd serving ascinematographer Greengrassrsquo seeminglycaught-on-the-fly (yet surely rigorouslythought-out) compositions arepresented with clarity and immediacy
and Christopher Rousersquos marvelouslysharp editing ndash combined with thepropulsive thrust of composer HenryJackmanrsquos superb score ndash makes yougrateful that breathing is an involuntarybodily function
Sterling technique of the sortdisplayed here would handily makeGreengrassrsquo outing first-rate Itrsquos themoviersquos humans that make it potentiallyunforgettable I was thrilled that the
direction and Rayrsquos script gave Abdiand Musersquos heavily armed companionsndash very well-played by BarkhadAbdirahman Faysal Ahmed and MahatM Ali ndash numerous opportunities fornuance especially in roles that couldhave been stereotypical or at worstactively offensive But I was less thrilledthan flabbergasted that Hanks afterso many going-through-the-motionsperformances in the years since 2000rsquosCast Away could again appear on-
screen this vital and connected andalive with his last 10 minutes hereperhaps marking a new high point inthe career of the two-time Oscar winner(I was literally shaking during his finalscene Not as much as he was butshaking nonetheless) Captain Phillips is
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Wersquove all seen movies that beginspectacularly well but seem to slowly sadlylose their inspiration as they progressleaving you to wonder by their finaleswhat it was that initially had you so jazzedabout them Paul Greengrassrsquo dramaticthriller Captain Phillips Irsquom happy tosay is not one of those movies Actuallyit might be the exact opposite of oneof those movies a work that starts outdistractingly shaky yet gradually morphsinto something utterly spectacular ndash so spectacular in truth that you can barelyremember how off-put you were by thecomparative bummer of its early scenes
Barely remembering however isnrsquotquite the same as forgetting so al low me toaddress Captain Phillipsrsquo first 15 minutes
before commencing with my praiseBased on the real-life 2009 hijacking ofan American cargo ship by four well-armed Somalis director Greengrassrsquo latestopens in the suburban-Vermont homeof the shiprsquos captain Richard Phillips ashe prepares for his il l-fated voyage Weknow by the gentle light homey deacutecor andPhillipsrsquo packing of a family photo that hersquosa man of fundamental decency a notionexacerbated by the casting of Tom Hanks
an actor whorsquos spent the vast majority ofhis screen career with ldquoMan of the Peoplerdquopractically stenciled on his forehead (Foradded telegraphing Catherine ldquoSalt of theEarthrdquo Keener is cast as Phillipsrsquo wife)
But while this quiet introduction wouldalmost certainly be all wersquod require forempathy Greengrass and screenwriterBilly Ray ndash adapting co-authors Phillipsrsquo
and StephenTaltyrsquosnonfictionaccount ofthe tale ndashdonrsquot appearentirelyconvinced
Insteadtheir openeris followeda strangelydidactic ride-to-the-airport scene in which the spouseshave a melancholy chat about their kidsrsquofutures and the uncertain economy andhow ldquothings arenrsquot the way they used to berdquotheir conversation sounding resoundinglylike scripted (ie forced) dialogue And
by the time Phill ips has boarded his shipdemanding safety inspections and drillsthat his union crew discreetly roll theireyes at the manrsquos incorruptible goodnessalready feels oppressive ndash and is evidencedfurther when you notice that Phillips hadthat family photo also printed on his coffeemug (So why pack the picture) We get ityou want to say Phillips plus Hanks equalssaint
Greengrass and Ray do at least hint thatCaptain Phillips will be less cut-and-driedthan its prelude suggests with their earlyinclusion of a sequence set in a depressedSomali outpost Entrenched in theenvironmentrsquos horrific poverty easy accessto artillery and constant looming threatof violence wersquore made to understand theconditions that could lead to an oceanichijacking ndash conditions that can alsobe read in full in the gaunt haunted
murderouslydeterminedface of BarkhadAbdi whoportrays (ina sensationalfilm debut)the missionrsquos
eventual leaderMuse Whilenever overtlysympathizingwith Muse
and the three other Somali pirates whoboard Phillipsrsquo ship the movie refuses to
view its antagonists solely as ldquothe otherrdquowhich is a refreshing break from the normIt wouldrsquove been even more refreshingI thought if th is werenrsquot the very same
tactic employed by Greengrass for his 911thriller United 93 despite the undeniableprofessionalism of its presentation Ispent the moviersquos first 15 minutes feelinglike Greengrass in Captain Phillipswas traveling on perhaps-too-well-trodground
And here is where my complainingends Because from the moment Phillipsbecomes aware of the Somalis (in twoboats initially) trailing his ship thefilm turns into something downrightextraordinary a dramatic procedural thatbecomes an intense cat-and-mouse thrillerand then a beat-the-clock action pic andthen a harrowing rescue tale and finallya heart-wrenching look at the emotionalimpact of real-life heroism
No one familiar with Greengrassrsquohelming of United 93 or the second andthird entries in the Jason Bourne franchise

The starting point of Living Downstream was comparing information from statecancer registries (started in the 1970s) andthe EPArsquos Toxic Release Inventory (startedin 1986) By the 1990s Steingraber saidthere was enough information to seecancer trends You could for example seea correlation between pesticide spraying inCape Cod and cancer incidence there ldquoYoucan actually map the sort of moving shadowof cancer rdquo she said
That sort of linking she said had ldquobeendone in a couple of the highly technicaldocuments [But] no one had tried to doit for the general publicrdquo before LivingDownstream
ldquoI actually returned to myhometown moved into my sisterrsquosbasement and began an intensivestudy of the toxic-waste sites and watercontamination and the air pollution inmy home community and discoveredI was just one data point in a cluster ofcancers there Thatrsquos the story that I tellin Living Downstreamrdquo
Through that process she said shefound support for her belief that hercancer had environmental causes ldquoOneof the things that I discovered was thepresence of perchlorethylene which isdry-cleaning solvent in my hometowndrinking-water wells Perchlorethyleneis a probable bladder carcinogen So it
is likely that my own cancer was causedbecause years before I was born whenmachine shops used perchlorethyleneas a solvent to de-grease metal partssomebody dumped a vat of it out back itseeped into the groundwater and then Ias a kid grew up drinking it and paid theprice for it And still am paying the priceBecause I am now 54 and Irsquove lived for 34years as a bladder-cancer patient I live ahighly medicalized liferdquo

of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

easy it is to get decent rest you know andstill manage to drink and have a lot of funIt could be very tricky to figure out justhow much we can drink and party andstill show up ndash how we can balance thepartying with actually doing a gigrdquo
Booth meanwhile said ldquoWhat I loveabout this piece ndash and particularly this

where the actor said ldquowe workshoppedit for 10 days or so which was really
informative and fun And then theytweaked it for another yearrdquo during whichtime the former Ghost Brothers musicalbecame Ghost Brothers the staged radiodrama ndash albeit one with gorgeous music
ldquoThe songs are beautifully writtenrdquosaid Greenwood ldquoand they tie right intothe story which continues as the songsunfold So now itrsquos about bringing acertain physicality to those scenes that endin conflict but doing it within the conceit
of a radio play Therersquos not a lot of bigsets Therersquos a bunch of actors on-stagetherersquos a bunch of foley actors on-stageand therersquos a band And the agony andthe ecstasy ndash what little there is of it [theecstasy] ndash basically takes place in theminds of the charactersrdquo
Consequently the new Ghost Brothersof Darkland County does indeed suggestmore of a concert than a musical for thestage which Greenwood said extends to

potential mates on the horizon prime yourmate-attraction subself which is the one leading
you whenever your boyfriendrsquos bro will be
around to dress for sliding into a booth at the
diner like yoursquoll be sliding down a greased pole
The complicated truth is that if your
boyfriend notices his brotherrsquos eyeballs
bouncing after you like puppies you may
be priming his mate-retention subself by
reminding him that you have other options To
keep him from suspecting yoursquore interested in
other options prime your own mate-retentionsubself Look at cute pictures of the two of you
and run through reasons yoursquore grateful for him
and for your relationship This in turn should
help you refrain from saving your sexiest looks
and moves for when you two are hanging out
with his brother ldquoJust gonna twerk my way to
the bakery case bend over in this short skirt
lick the glass and see if the banana nut muffins
speak to merdquo
The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college
English class We hang out a lot eating
together and playing ping pong and when it
was raining we ducked into a building and
talked rsquotil 2 am No matter how much I flirt
with him including touching him he never
makes a move or touches me beyond once
fist-bumping with me for what seemed like a
long time Should I make a move on him
ndash Confused
A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot
about his intentions A series of fist bumps for
example suggests he wants to have a burping
contest Yoursquove done your part ndash flirting to let
this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos
fast becoming one of your best girlfriends ndash
although probably not the one to go to when
you need to borrow a tampon

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

experience you need to make that happen
What riches do you want to possess when you
are finally wise enough to make enlightened use
of them and how can you boost your eligibility
for those riches Which one of your gloriousdreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill
it but is primed to be dramatically ripened in
the coming weeks If I were you Leo I would
meditate on these questions Answers will be
forthcoming
VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

Sandra Steingraber October 22 at St Ambrose University
Personal Science
by Jeff Ignatius
jeffrcreadercom
Sandra Steingraber has bachelor anddoctorate degrees in biology and amasterrsquos in creative writing ldquoI had
long been a biologist by day and poet bynightrdquo she said in a phone interview ear-lier this month ldquoI kind of kept my writ-ing world and my science world separaterdquo
And that was herintention when sheset out to write thebook that wouldbecome LivingDownstream ldquoIt wasgoing to representmy best attemptas a biologist tosummarize the links
between cancer and the environmentrdquo shesaid
But the poet in her ended uptransforming the project into somethingunusual a deeply personal story
intertwined with a scientific one asSteingraber discusses her own cancer inthe context of the troubling relationshipbetween chemical pollution and thedisease The hook of the book she said isldquothe life behind one of the data points inthe cancer registry namely my ownrdquo
Steingraber will be speaking at StAmbrose University on October 22 aspart of the schoolrsquos Sustainability Projectwhich includes events throughout the
academic year Her lecture she said willapply the ldquoconceptual themerdquo of LivingDownstream (originally published in 1997with a second edition and film adaptationreleased in 2010) to fracking ndash inducedhydraulic fracturing to extract natural gasand petroleum
She described fracking as ldquoturningthe land inside-out for more fossil-fuelextractionrdquo and called it ldquothe biggestemergent environmental threat to publichealth in the United States right nowrdquo
Fracking she said uses knowncarcinogenic chemicals and it releasesbenzene ndash a naturally occurring substancethat also causes human cancer
Defenders of fracking claim that itschemicals remain deep in the earth butSteingraber noted that drilling creates apathway to the surface lined with cementand ldquocement is not an immortal substancerdquo
Itrsquos too early to say with certainty thatfracking causes public-health problems
but thatrsquos missing the point of LivingDownstream Fracking fits neatly into thebookrsquos argument against the status-quoregulatory premise that chemicals ndash orprocesses that use them ndash are safe until
proved otherwiseldquoWhat I conclude in Living Downstream
ndash and it came as a surprise to me when Ibegan my investigation and it still comesas a surprise to my readers ndash is that this
assumption that we have that chemicalsare actually tested for safety before theyrsquoreallowed to be marketed and sold is untrueIn fact only about 2 percent of chemicalsnow on the market ndash many of which wehave very intimate contact with ndash have ever
been tested for safetyldquoAnd then you might think Of that 2
percent surely if a substance has beendemonstrated to be a known carcinogen ndashmeaning we know it causes human cancer
ndash we would outlaw such a chemicalAnd those that may be probable or likelycarcinogens for which we have emergingevidence if not yet exact proof we wouldnrsquot
just keep exposing people contaminatingthem without their consent and then
waiting 20 or 30 years to find out if it reallyis a carcinogen Surely we would compel anindustry to demonstrate safety before wewould allow these things on the market
ldquoAnd it turns out that all thoseassumptions are wrongrdquo
Permitting fracking Steingraber saidldquois tantamount to running an uncontrolledhuman experiment on American people There is no factory wall here Frackingoccurs right in our communities right onour farmland Our land is the factoryfloor Therersquos been no demonstrationthat this is safe for peoplerdquo
Steingraber advocates a differentregulatory approach the precautionaryprinciple ndash the assumption for policypurposes that the use of toxic chemicalsis potentially dangerous and needs to beproved safe before being allowed
ldquoI see this as a v iolation of our humanrights the idea that none of us agreed to
let our bodies be used as the repositoryfor chemicals that are either known to bedangerous or have never been shown tobe saferdquo she said ldquoSo with the burden ofproof being on the public to demonstrateby our dying or our sicknesses that we havea problem wersquore actually violating peoplersquosrights to be healthy and safe and so onrdquo
With fracking she said ldquothe only moralthing to do is hit the pause button hereYou canrsquot just keep on exposing people
and create an experiment for public-healthresearchers to come and study for 20 years Even if we stopped everything now wersquodhave all kinds of great study sites to go inand look at the damagerdquo
ldquoDig Hererdquo Steingraber only needs to look at her
body to see the damage caused by thispermissive regulatory environment She
grew up in Pekin Illinois ndash ldquoIrsquom kind ofcoming homerdquo she said of her Quad Citiesappearance ndash and was diagnosed withbladder cancer at age 20
ldquoQuestions by my own diagnosingphysician in 1979 led me to believe thatmy cancer was probably caused by anenvironmental exposure during mychildhood rdquo she said ldquoHe asked Had Iever vulcanized tires Did I live next to analuminum smelter I actually did livenext to an aluminum smelter as well as 29different other industries that I lived just

Domingo Rubio left no doubt thathis Count
Dracula was in
charge during Fridayrsquos
performance of Ballet
Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula
at Molinersquos Scottish
Rite Cathedral (The
production ended
its run on Saturday)
From his bat-like
entrance ndash with the
dancer slowly f lapping
his black cape from front to back as he made
his way through the darkened auditorium ndash
to his death Rubiorsquos Dracula never seemed
controlled by anyone and that included
choreographer Deanna Carter Rubio gave
the impression that his Dracula wasnrsquot mov-
ing because Carter gave him predetermined
choreography but because it was the way he
wanted to move
Dracula was not the first character to grace
the stage however This balletic horror storystarted with Patrick Greenrsquos Renfield in an
asylum in England and Greenrsquos movements
left no question about his characterrsquos mental
state as he hopped around on all fours
mixing in graceful steps and arm sweeps
from the floor to his mouth (This Renfield
showed a penchant for eating bugs) He was
accompanied by a group of fellow patients
wearing crazed-hair wigs and moving in
an often chaotic frenzy their movements
sometimes aligning with his in a sort of linedance reminiscent of Michael Jacksonrsquos creepy
ldquoThrillerrdquo video Greenrsquos portrayal was so
dynamic and Carterrsquos choreography so true
to the character that it was unfortunate that
Renfield did not play more prominently in
the story
Then again it seemed hard if not
impossible for anyone to match Rubiorsquos
command of the stage Rubio increased the
nobility and authority of his blood-sucking
count through movements that were neverstaccato or halting and his always-graceful
arcs and sweeps seemed to emanate from
his commanding tone It was as though
Rubiorsquos Dracula cast his spells by way of his
movement which was most evident when
he first met Jill Schwartzrsquos virginal Lucy the
recently engaged woman on whom Dracula
has set his eyes While she fell under his
control Carter choreographed mimicked
movements as Schwartz danced with
precision while Rubio went through the same
motions but with a fluidity that made it clear
that his Dracula was taking charge of Lucyrsquos
will
What was also remarkable about Rubiorsquos
performance in addition to his flowing
dominance was his sensuality an essence thatwas neither lusty
nor base Dracularsquos
suggestive nature
started with Rubiorsquos
costume which
included a black
long-sleeve mesh
shirt While Rubiorsquos
torso was visible
the slightly opaque
nature of this shirt
created a sexiness
that was more effective than bare skin would
have been because his costume made it seem
as though we were getting a mere peek at his
physique we were allowed to discover his
body rather than having it fully presented to
us And with this look combined with Rubiorsquos
authority and grace Dracularsquos sexuality here
was a force to be reckoned with
In contrast there was a wilder nature to
Dracularsquos brides portrayed by Marie Buser
Margaret Huling and Tessa Moore Their free-flowing hair and the abandon in their dancing
more than suggested their charactersrsquo interest
in the sins of the flesh particularly as they
seduced Alec Rothrsquos Jonathan Harker during
his visit to Dracularsquos Transylvania castle The
sexy demeanor of these dancers was topped
only by Lucyrsquos as she was ultimately taken in
by Dracula With Schwartz dressed in a sheer
red nightgown over clothing that matched
her skin tone her pas de deux with Rubio was
the lustiest encounter of the evening Whilethey danced Schwartzrsquos gown would ride up
her body and give the impression of her being
nude underneath the shock of which was
only overpowered by a realistic special effect
employed when Dracula bit her neck and sent
a wash of dark blood down her chest
Lucy was eventually staked through the
heart under the order of Jacob Lyonrsquos Dr Van
Helsing called in to diagnose what was wrong
with the now-erratic woman With his new
bride truly dead Dracula then vied for theaffections of Jonathanrsquos fianceacute Emily Kate
Longrsquos innocent Mina Murray-Harker who
became the bait in a final battle between Van
Helsing and Dracula that contrasted Rubiorsquos
grace with Lyonrsquos technique
But all throughout the production it was
evident why Ballet Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula with
Rubio returning in the role is so often part of
the companyrsquos seasons Carterrsquos choreography
creates a story thatrsquos easy to follow ndash although
it does require the aid of the programrsquos
thorough plot description to understand the
characters ndash and the sexuality of the piece is
intoxicating with enough horrific elements
added to both shock and please during its
hour-long performance

tephen King John Mellencamp TBone Burnett
Three instantly recognizablenames Three iconic artists withenormous fan bases and lengthy listsof professional accomplishments Andtaken together three of the last people youmight expect to find collaborating on amusical for the stage
That however is precisely what book-writer King composer Mellencamp andproducermusical director Burnett didand what resulted was Ghost Brothersof Darkland County a song-filled
supernatural Southern Gothic that hadits world premiere last year in a run atAtlantarsquos Alliance Theatre
Yet when local audiences see theshow ndash which theyrsquoll be able to whenthe touring Ghost Brothers of DarklandCounty lands at Davenportrsquos AdlerTheatre on November 3 ndash it wonrsquot be quitethe same one that audiences in Atlantaexperienced For one thing this currentproduction stars noted film and television
actor Bruce Greenwood famed for rolesin such big-screen entertainments asThirteen Days (in which he played JFKduring the Cuban missile crisis) FlightCapote and director JJ Abramsrsquo Star Trekmovies which found the actor portraying the(Spoiler Alert) doomed Captain ChristopherPike
ldquoThis was just something that was sodifferent for merdquo said Greenwood duringour phone interview about his present
momentary break from filmmaking ldquoBut Ithought lsquoWell you know yeah ndash let me takesix weeks off and go have a different kind offunrsquordquo
But an even more crucial differencebetween the Ghost Brothers of Atlanta and theGhost Brothers of its current 20-city tour isthat the musical in question is technically nolonger a musical Itrsquos now as director SusanV Booth explained in an e-mail interview ldquoakind of live radio playrdquo that ldquoreally is a wholenew version of the show
ldquoWe didnrsquot just pack up the set andthe costumes and hit the roadrdquo Boothwrote during the rehearsal process forGhost Brothersrsquo tour (which debuted inBloomington Indiana on October 10)
ldquoThe actors deliver the material arounda radio mic with very little else but theirspirits and voices Itrsquos ending up makingthe show much more powerful by makingit much more entwined with the audiencersquosimaginationrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a really interesting formatrdquoGreenwood added ldquoItrsquos a very spareenvironment But of course the environment
of terror that Stephen creates is Thedemon is between your ears you know Itrsquosnot so much in your physical surroundingsrdquo
Landing the FishBooth currently serves as artistic director
for the Alliance Theatre ndash recipient of theprestigious 2007 Regional Theatre TonyAward for ldquooutstanding achievement by aprofessional non-profit regional theatrerdquondash and stated that getting to work on Ghost
Brothers had been a dream long before sheeven knew of its existence
ldquoYears agordquo Booth said ldquoI had beenasked what projects Irsquod hoped to bring tothe Alliance Theatre during my time there
I said I hoped to get John Mellencampto write a musical because I alwaysthought that his songs were thesebrilliant character studies A few yearslater a mutual friend reached out tome and told me that he had in factalready written one and that hersquodpartnered with no less than StephenKing
ldquoI started trying to land that fishthen ndash and it only took another fewyears before the conversation beganrdquo
The collaboration between longtimefriends Mellencamp and King (and
as of 2010 Burnett) began in 2000with a true story told by the Grammy-winning rocker involving two brothersa girl they both loved an accidentalkilling and a car crash Over thenext decade ndash and with Mellencampproviding bluegrass gospel and roots-rock voice for the characters ndash this talemorphed into a more recognizablyKing-ian narrative complete withburied family secrets and a mysterious
Satanic entity referred to as ldquoTheShaperdquo
ldquoThe Alliance has a rich history ofdeveloping and producing new Americanmusicalsrdquo said Booth ldquoso the fit was goodAnd as a Midwesterner who grew up readingKing and listening to Mellencamp ndash and nowliving in the South ndash I felt like the world ofthe play made personal sense to me so I putup my hand and said Irsquod like to directrdquo
Happily for Booth ldquothey were good
enough to say yesrdquo (In a 2011 pressconference King ndash as quoted by the Atlantaweekly Neighbor Newspapers ndash stated ldquoWewanted a place that was cosmopolitan butnot out-of-touch with country roots Atlantaseemed like the middle of the bullrsquos eyerdquo)
Yet Booth said it was clear even from thestart of Ghost Brothersrsquo 2012 rehearsals thatthe show ndash befitting its eclectic behind-the-scenes talent ndash wasnrsquot going to be any kind oftraditional musical-theatre experience
ldquoI think the silliest thing you could dowhen yoursquore working with three artists whoare lions in their fields is to try to shoehorntheir talents into some existing moldrdquo she

final cadence
In a post-concert interview Torke
said he was ldquothrilledrdquo with the
orchestrarsquos rendering With emphatic
conducting gestures Torke said
ldquoMarkrsquos slower tempo made my music
more grand than I originally imaginedrdquo
Smithrsquos interpretation of the new
music and the orchestrarsquos performance
were energized vivid and taut Heavily
doubled with many instrumentalcombinations playing the same musical
figures the orchestra effectively shaped
the thematic repetitions into a slowly
changing musical kaleidoscope
Torkersquos ideas were concise and
intense yet more dazzling than
substantive more sensuous than
profound But they were orchestrated
and developed with great skill toward
the goal of inculcating the audience
with anticipation and it workedA delightful addition to the program
was Wootenrsquos customized narration to
Brittenrsquos instrumental-demonstration
piece A complete redo of Eric Crozierrsquos
original sterile text Wooten not
only editorialized about the nature
of each instrumental family and its
components but named most of the
performers as they played through the
variations He added a spattering of
insider humor as well with commentssuch as ldquoThe brass can be very loud
so they must sit in the backrdquo and
ldquoPercussion are kept in the kitchen
where they can bang on anything in
front of themrdquo these drew chuckles
from the audience and on-stage
reactions with musicians smiling as
they played
It was in this light piece that the
orchestra created its most glorious
moment of the night The brilliantmusical unification of the noble
opening brass theme with the fast
fanciful unison fugue theme at the
end produced a gripping symphonic
experience
And the Brahms was convincingly
dramatic and played with secure
technical command The slow
compound rhythmic figures in the
first and second movements drifted
seamlessly between the orchestra andsoloist Close communication between
Smith and Biss led to quiet whispers
of tone in their reflecting exchanges
The first Masterworks concertof the Quad City Symphonyrsquos99th season was a checkerboard
of strengths and weaknesses Huge
transcendent moments filled the AdlerTheatre in the October 5 concert but
when things got quiet discrepancies
in tone color balance and rhythm ap-peared
Under the direction of Music
Director and Conductor Mark RussellSmith the orchestra explored four
diverse approaches to compositionin reverse chronological order
Commissioned by the Quad City
Symphony the world premiere ofAmerican composer Michael Torkersquos
Oracle opened the program followed
by fellow countryman Aaron JayKernisrsquo Musica Celestis featuring
only the strings The mid-20th
Centuryrsquos Young Personrsquos Guide tothe Orchestra by British composer
Benjamin Britten ndash with humorousnarration by local media personality
Don Wooten ndash completed the first half
After intermission pianist JonathanBiss joined the orchestra for Johannes
Brahmsrsquo Concerto for Piano No 1
The concert was an elegantlydesigned program that included
a variety of contemporary works
balanced by a classic masterpiecebut ndash except for Torke ndash it was not
a good selection of music for thisorchestra In the tutti sections when
all the instruments were played the
mixture of timbre was profuse Yet asthe scoring broke down into smaller
instrumental combinations the
differences in individual colors becamemore problematic The result was tonal
incompatibility both among the same
instruments and between instrumentalfamilies
Torkersquos four-minute opener was a
clear highlight The music in the scoreappeared to be simple ndash quarter and
eighth notes laid out across the pagewith unchanging whole-note pitches
held for several bars But when the
orchestra played them the wholenotes became expanding waves of
sonic clusters that washed over you
The shorter notes became a pulsatingengine propelling the waves higher
and sending them crashing into you
Wave after wave with subtle changesin orchestration and pitch formed the
core gestures of a piece that grew to its

and Christopher Rousersquos marvelouslysharp editing ndash combined with thepropulsive thrust of composer HenryJackmanrsquos superb score ndash makes yougrateful that breathing is an involuntarybodily function
Sterling technique of the sortdisplayed here would handily makeGreengrassrsquo outing first-rate Itrsquos themoviersquos humans that make it potentiallyunforgettable I was thrilled that the
direction and Rayrsquos script gave Abdiand Musersquos heavily armed companionsndash very well-played by BarkhadAbdirahman Faysal Ahmed and MahatM Ali ndash numerous opportunities fornuance especially in roles that couldhave been stereotypical or at worstactively offensive But I was less thrilledthan flabbergasted that Hanks afterso many going-through-the-motionsperformances in the years since 2000rsquosCast Away could again appear on-
screen this vital and connected andalive with his last 10 minutes hereperhaps marking a new high point inthe career of the two-time Oscar winner(I was literally shaking during his finalscene Not as much as he was butshaking nonetheless) Captain Phillips is
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Wersquove all seen movies that beginspectacularly well but seem to slowly sadlylose their inspiration as they progressleaving you to wonder by their finaleswhat it was that initially had you so jazzedabout them Paul Greengrassrsquo dramaticthriller Captain Phillips Irsquom happy tosay is not one of those movies Actuallyit might be the exact opposite of oneof those movies a work that starts outdistractingly shaky yet gradually morphsinto something utterly spectacular ndash so spectacular in truth that you can barelyremember how off-put you were by thecomparative bummer of its early scenes
Barely remembering however isnrsquotquite the same as forgetting so al low me toaddress Captain Phillipsrsquo first 15 minutes
before commencing with my praiseBased on the real-life 2009 hijacking ofan American cargo ship by four well-armed Somalis director Greengrassrsquo latestopens in the suburban-Vermont homeof the shiprsquos captain Richard Phillips ashe prepares for his il l-fated voyage Weknow by the gentle light homey deacutecor andPhillipsrsquo packing of a family photo that hersquosa man of fundamental decency a notionexacerbated by the casting of Tom Hanks
an actor whorsquos spent the vast majority ofhis screen career with ldquoMan of the Peoplerdquopractically stenciled on his forehead (Foradded telegraphing Catherine ldquoSalt of theEarthrdquo Keener is cast as Phillipsrsquo wife)
But while this quiet introduction wouldalmost certainly be all wersquod require forempathy Greengrass and screenwriterBilly Ray ndash adapting co-authors Phillipsrsquo
and StephenTaltyrsquosnonfictionaccount ofthe tale ndashdonrsquot appearentirelyconvinced
Insteadtheir openeris followeda strangelydidactic ride-to-the-airport scene in which the spouseshave a melancholy chat about their kidsrsquofutures and the uncertain economy andhow ldquothings arenrsquot the way they used to berdquotheir conversation sounding resoundinglylike scripted (ie forced) dialogue And
by the time Phill ips has boarded his shipdemanding safety inspections and drillsthat his union crew discreetly roll theireyes at the manrsquos incorruptible goodnessalready feels oppressive ndash and is evidencedfurther when you notice that Phillips hadthat family photo also printed on his coffeemug (So why pack the picture) We get ityou want to say Phillips plus Hanks equalssaint
Greengrass and Ray do at least hint thatCaptain Phillips will be less cut-and-driedthan its prelude suggests with their earlyinclusion of a sequence set in a depressedSomali outpost Entrenched in theenvironmentrsquos horrific poverty easy accessto artillery and constant looming threatof violence wersquore made to understand theconditions that could lead to an oceanichijacking ndash conditions that can alsobe read in full in the gaunt haunted
murderouslydeterminedface of BarkhadAbdi whoportrays (ina sensationalfilm debut)the missionrsquos
eventual leaderMuse Whilenever overtlysympathizingwith Muse
and the three other Somali pirates whoboard Phillipsrsquo ship the movie refuses to
view its antagonists solely as ldquothe otherrdquowhich is a refreshing break from the normIt wouldrsquove been even more refreshingI thought if th is werenrsquot the very same
tactic employed by Greengrass for his 911thriller United 93 despite the undeniableprofessionalism of its presentation Ispent the moviersquos first 15 minutes feelinglike Greengrass in Captain Phillipswas traveling on perhaps-too-well-trodground
And here is where my complainingends Because from the moment Phillipsbecomes aware of the Somalis (in twoboats initially) trailing his ship thefilm turns into something downrightextraordinary a dramatic procedural thatbecomes an intense cat-and-mouse thrillerand then a beat-the-clock action pic andthen a harrowing rescue tale and finallya heart-wrenching look at the emotionalimpact of real-life heroism
No one familiar with Greengrassrsquohelming of United 93 or the second andthird entries in the Jason Bourne franchise

The starting point of Living Downstream was comparing information from statecancer registries (started in the 1970s) andthe EPArsquos Toxic Release Inventory (startedin 1986) By the 1990s Steingraber saidthere was enough information to seecancer trends You could for example seea correlation between pesticide spraying inCape Cod and cancer incidence there ldquoYoucan actually map the sort of moving shadowof cancer rdquo she said
That sort of linking she said had ldquobeendone in a couple of the highly technicaldocuments [But] no one had tried to doit for the general publicrdquo before LivingDownstream
ldquoI actually returned to myhometown moved into my sisterrsquosbasement and began an intensivestudy of the toxic-waste sites and watercontamination and the air pollution inmy home community and discoveredI was just one data point in a cluster ofcancers there Thatrsquos the story that I tellin Living Downstreamrdquo
Through that process she said shefound support for her belief that hercancer had environmental causes ldquoOneof the things that I discovered was thepresence of perchlorethylene which isdry-cleaning solvent in my hometowndrinking-water wells Perchlorethyleneis a probable bladder carcinogen So it
is likely that my own cancer was causedbecause years before I was born whenmachine shops used perchlorethyleneas a solvent to de-grease metal partssomebody dumped a vat of it out back itseeped into the groundwater and then Ias a kid grew up drinking it and paid theprice for it And still am paying the priceBecause I am now 54 and Irsquove lived for 34years as a bladder-cancer patient I live ahighly medicalized liferdquo

Monday October 28 730 pm
Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest
reason to be excited about the Adlerrsquos
booking of Memphis Ms Gloveryou see appeared in a 1997 musical
titled A Legendary Christmas at RockIslandrsquos Circa rsquo21 Dinner PlayhouseI was a Circa rsquo21 employee at thetime And my fellow B ootleggers andI would oftentimes hang with Ms
Glover after performancesThatrsquos right Memphis is the show
that makes me only two degrees ofseparation from the Tony Awards
And my parents thought that theatre
major of mine wouldnrsquot amount toanything

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

easy it is to get decent rest you know andstill manage to drink and have a lot of funIt could be very tricky to figure out justhow much we can drink and party andstill show up ndash how we can balance thepartying with actually doing a gigrdquo
Booth meanwhile said ldquoWhat I loveabout this piece ndash and particularly this

informative and fun And then theytweaked it for another yearrdquo during whichtime the former Ghost Brothers musicalbecame Ghost Brothers the staged radiodrama ndash albeit one with gorgeous music
ldquoThe songs are beautifully writtenrdquosaid Greenwood ldquoand they tie right intothe story which continues as the songsunfold So now itrsquos about bringing acertain physicality to those scenes that endin conflict but doing it within the conceit
of a radio play Therersquos not a lot of bigsets Therersquos a bunch of actors on-stagetherersquos a bunch of foley actors on-stageand therersquos a band And the agony andthe ecstasy ndash what little there is of it [theecstasy] ndash basically takes place in theminds of the charactersrdquo
Consequently the new Ghost Brothersof Darkland County does indeed suggestmore of a concert than a musical for thestage which Greenwood said extends to

four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos

want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of

in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

experience you need to make that happen
What riches do you want to possess when you
are finally wise enough to make enlightened use
of them and how can you boost your eligibility
for those riches Which one of your gloriousdreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill
it but is primed to be dramatically ripened in
the coming weeks If I were you Leo I would
meditate on these questions Answers will be
forthcoming
VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty
Of course

Domingo Rubio left no doubt thathis Count
Dracula was in
charge during Fridayrsquos
performance of Ballet
Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula
at Molinersquos Scottish
Rite Cathedral (The
production ended
its run on Saturday)
From his bat-like
entrance ndash with the
dancer slowly f lapping
his black cape from front to back as he made
his way through the darkened auditorium ndash
to his death Rubiorsquos Dracula never seemed
controlled by anyone and that included
choreographer Deanna Carter Rubio gave
the impression that his Dracula wasnrsquot mov-
ing because Carter gave him predetermined
choreography but because it was the way he
wanted to move
Dracula was not the first character to grace
the stage however This balletic horror storystarted with Patrick Greenrsquos Renfield in an
asylum in England and Greenrsquos movements
left no question about his characterrsquos mental
state as he hopped around on all fours
mixing in graceful steps and arm sweeps
from the floor to his mouth (This Renfield
showed a penchant for eating bugs) He was
accompanied by a group of fellow patients
wearing crazed-hair wigs and moving in
an often chaotic frenzy their movements
sometimes aligning with his in a sort of linedance reminiscent of Michael Jacksonrsquos creepy
ldquoThrillerrdquo video Greenrsquos portrayal was so
dynamic and Carterrsquos choreography so true
to the character that it was unfortunate that
Renfield did not play more prominently in
the story
Then again it seemed hard if not
impossible for anyone to match Rubiorsquos
command of the stage Rubio increased the
nobility and authority of his blood-sucking
count through movements that were neverstaccato or halting and his always-graceful
arcs and sweeps seemed to emanate from
his commanding tone It was as though
Rubiorsquos Dracula cast his spells by way of his
movement which was most evident when
he first met Jill Schwartzrsquos virginal Lucy the
recently engaged woman on whom Dracula
has set his eyes While she fell under his
control Carter choreographed mimicked
movements as Schwartz danced with
precision while Rubio went through the same
motions but with a fluidity that made it clear
that his Dracula was taking charge of Lucyrsquos
will
What was also remarkable about Rubiorsquos
performance in addition to his flowing
dominance was his sensuality an essence thatwas neither lusty
nor base Dracularsquos
suggestive nature
started with Rubiorsquos
costume which
included a black
long-sleeve mesh
shirt While Rubiorsquos
torso was visible
the slightly opaque
nature of this shirt
created a sexiness
that was more effective than bare skin would
have been because his costume made it seem
as though we were getting a mere peek at his
physique we were allowed to discover his
body rather than having it fully presented to
us And with this look combined with Rubiorsquos
authority and grace Dracularsquos sexuality here
was a force to be reckoned with
In contrast there was a wilder nature to
Dracularsquos brides portrayed by Marie Buser
Margaret Huling and Tessa Moore Their free-flowing hair and the abandon in their dancing
more than suggested their charactersrsquo interest
in the sins of the flesh particularly as they
seduced Alec Rothrsquos Jonathan Harker during
his visit to Dracularsquos Transylvania castle The
sexy demeanor of these dancers was topped
only by Lucyrsquos as she was ultimately taken in
by Dracula With Schwartz dressed in a sheer
red nightgown over clothing that matched
her skin tone her pas de deux with Rubio was
the lustiest encounter of the evening Whilethey danced Schwartzrsquos gown would ride up
her body and give the impression of her being
nude underneath the shock of which was
only overpowered by a realistic special effect
employed when Dracula bit her neck and sent
a wash of dark blood down her chest
Lucy was eventually staked through the
heart under the order of Jacob Lyonrsquos Dr Van
Helsing called in to diagnose what was wrong
with the now-erratic woman With his new
bride truly dead Dracula then vied for theaffections of Jonathanrsquos fianceacute Emily Kate
Longrsquos innocent Mina Murray-Harker who
became the bait in a final battle between Van
Helsing and Dracula that contrasted Rubiorsquos
grace with Lyonrsquos technique
But all throughout the production it was
evident why Ballet Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula with
Rubio returning in the role is so often part of
the companyrsquos seasons Carterrsquos choreography
creates a story thatrsquos easy to follow ndash although
it does require the aid of the programrsquos
thorough plot description to understand the
characters ndash and the sexuality of the piece is
intoxicating with enough horrific elements
added to both shock and please during its
hour-long performance

tephen King John Mellencamp TBone Burnett
Three instantly recognizablenames Three iconic artists withenormous fan bases and lengthy listsof professional accomplishments Andtaken together three of the last people youmight expect to find collaborating on amusical for the stage
That however is precisely what book-writer King composer Mellencamp andproducermusical director Burnett didand what resulted was Ghost Brothersof Darkland County a song-filled
supernatural Southern Gothic that hadits world premiere last year in a run atAtlantarsquos Alliance Theatre
Yet when local audiences see theshow ndash which theyrsquoll be able to whenthe touring Ghost Brothers of DarklandCounty lands at Davenportrsquos AdlerTheatre on November 3 ndash it wonrsquot be quitethe same one that audiences in Atlantaexperienced For one thing this currentproduction stars noted film and television
actor Bruce Greenwood famed for rolesin such big-screen entertainments asThirteen Days (in which he played JFKduring the Cuban missile crisis) FlightCapote and director JJ Abramsrsquo Star Trekmovies which found the actor portraying the(Spoiler Alert) doomed Captain ChristopherPike
ldquoThis was just something that was sodifferent for merdquo said Greenwood duringour phone interview about his present
momentary break from filmmaking ldquoBut Ithought lsquoWell you know yeah ndash let me takesix weeks off and go have a different kind offunrsquordquo
But an even more crucial differencebetween the Ghost Brothers of Atlanta and theGhost Brothers of its current 20-city tour isthat the musical in question is technically nolonger a musical Itrsquos now as director SusanV Booth explained in an e-mail interview ldquoakind of live radio playrdquo that ldquoreally is a wholenew version of the show
ldquoWe didnrsquot just pack up the set andthe costumes and hit the roadrdquo Boothwrote during the rehearsal process forGhost Brothersrsquo tour (which debuted inBloomington Indiana on October 10)
ldquoThe actors deliver the material arounda radio mic with very little else but theirspirits and voices Itrsquos ending up makingthe show much more powerful by makingit much more entwined with the audiencersquosimaginationrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a really interesting formatrdquoGreenwood added ldquoItrsquos a very spareenvironment But of course the environment
of terror that Stephen creates is Thedemon is between your ears you know Itrsquosnot so much in your physical surroundingsrdquo
Landing the FishBooth currently serves as artistic director
for the Alliance Theatre ndash recipient of theprestigious 2007 Regional Theatre TonyAward for ldquooutstanding achievement by aprofessional non-profit regional theatrerdquondash and stated that getting to work on Ghost
Brothers had been a dream long before sheeven knew of its existence
ldquoYears agordquo Booth said ldquoI had beenasked what projects Irsquod hoped to bring tothe Alliance Theatre during my time there
I said I hoped to get John Mellencampto write a musical because I alwaysthought that his songs were thesebrilliant character studies A few yearslater a mutual friend reached out tome and told me that he had in factalready written one and that hersquodpartnered with no less than StephenKing
ldquoI started trying to land that fishthen ndash and it only took another fewyears before the conversation beganrdquo
The collaboration between longtimefriends Mellencamp and King (and
as of 2010 Burnett) began in 2000with a true story told by the Grammy-winning rocker involving two brothersa girl they both loved an accidentalkilling and a car crash Over thenext decade ndash and with Mellencampproviding bluegrass gospel and roots-rock voice for the characters ndash this talemorphed into a more recognizablyKing-ian narrative complete withburied family secrets and a mysterious
Satanic entity referred to as ldquoTheShaperdquo
ldquoThe Alliance has a rich history ofdeveloping and producing new Americanmusicalsrdquo said Booth ldquoso the fit was goodAnd as a Midwesterner who grew up readingKing and listening to Mellencamp ndash and nowliving in the South ndash I felt like the world ofthe play made personal sense to me so I putup my hand and said Irsquod like to directrdquo
Happily for Booth ldquothey were good
enough to say yesrdquo (In a 2011 pressconference King ndash as quoted by the Atlantaweekly Neighbor Newspapers ndash stated ldquoWewanted a place that was cosmopolitan butnot out-of-touch with country roots Atlantaseemed like the middle of the bullrsquos eyerdquo)
Yet Booth said it was clear even from thestart of Ghost Brothersrsquo 2012 rehearsals thatthe show ndash befitting its eclectic behind-the-scenes talent ndash wasnrsquot going to be any kind oftraditional musical-theatre experience
ldquoI think the silliest thing you could dowhen yoursquore working with three artists whoare lions in their fields is to try to shoehorntheir talents into some existing moldrdquo she

final cadence
In a post-concert interview Torke
said he was ldquothrilledrdquo with the
orchestrarsquos rendering With emphatic
conducting gestures Torke said
ldquoMarkrsquos slower tempo made my music
more grand than I originally imaginedrdquo
Smithrsquos interpretation of the new
music and the orchestrarsquos performance
were energized vivid and taut Heavily
doubled with many instrumentalcombinations playing the same musical
figures the orchestra effectively shaped
the thematic repetitions into a slowly
changing musical kaleidoscope
Torkersquos ideas were concise and
intense yet more dazzling than
substantive more sensuous than
profound But they were orchestrated
and developed with great skill toward
the goal of inculcating the audience
with anticipation and it workedA delightful addition to the program
was Wootenrsquos customized narration to
Brittenrsquos instrumental-demonstration
piece A complete redo of Eric Crozierrsquos
original sterile text Wooten not
only editorialized about the nature
of each instrumental family and its
components but named most of the
performers as they played through the
variations He added a spattering of
insider humor as well with commentssuch as ldquoThe brass can be very loud
so they must sit in the backrdquo and
ldquoPercussion are kept in the kitchen
where they can bang on anything in
front of themrdquo these drew chuckles
from the audience and on-stage
reactions with musicians smiling as
they played
It was in this light piece that the
orchestra created its most glorious
moment of the night The brilliantmusical unification of the noble
opening brass theme with the fast
fanciful unison fugue theme at the
end produced a gripping symphonic
experience
And the Brahms was convincingly
dramatic and played with secure
technical command The slow
compound rhythmic figures in the
first and second movements drifted
seamlessly between the orchestra andsoloist Close communication between
Smith and Biss led to quiet whispers
of tone in their reflecting exchanges
The first Masterworks concertof the Quad City Symphonyrsquos99th season was a checkerboard
of strengths and weaknesses Huge
transcendent moments filled the AdlerTheatre in the October 5 concert but
when things got quiet discrepancies
in tone color balance and rhythm ap-peared
Under the direction of Music
Director and Conductor Mark RussellSmith the orchestra explored four
diverse approaches to compositionin reverse chronological order
Commissioned by the Quad City
Symphony the world premiere ofAmerican composer Michael Torkersquos
Oracle opened the program followed
by fellow countryman Aaron JayKernisrsquo Musica Celestis featuring
only the strings The mid-20th
Centuryrsquos Young Personrsquos Guide tothe Orchestra by British composer
Benjamin Britten ndash with humorousnarration by local media personality
Don Wooten ndash completed the first half
After intermission pianist JonathanBiss joined the orchestra for Johannes
Brahmsrsquo Concerto for Piano No 1
The concert was an elegantlydesigned program that included
a variety of contemporary works
balanced by a classic masterpiecebut ndash except for Torke ndash it was not
a good selection of music for thisorchestra In the tutti sections when
all the instruments were played the
mixture of timbre was profuse Yet asthe scoring broke down into smaller
instrumental combinations the
differences in individual colors becamemore problematic The result was tonal
incompatibility both among the same
instruments and between instrumentalfamilies
Torkersquos four-minute opener was a
clear highlight The music in the scoreappeared to be simple ndash quarter and
eighth notes laid out across the pagewith unchanging whole-note pitches
held for several bars But when the
orchestra played them the wholenotes became expanding waves of
sonic clusters that washed over you
The shorter notes became a pulsatingengine propelling the waves higher
and sending them crashing into you
Wave after wave with subtle changesin orchestration and pitch formed the
core gestures of a piece that grew to its

and Christopher Rousersquos marvelouslysharp editing ndash combined with thepropulsive thrust of composer HenryJackmanrsquos superb score ndash makes yougrateful that breathing is an involuntarybodily function
Sterling technique of the sortdisplayed here would handily makeGreengrassrsquo outing first-rate Itrsquos themoviersquos humans that make it potentiallyunforgettable I was thrilled that the
direction and Rayrsquos script gave Abdiand Musersquos heavily armed companionsndash very well-played by BarkhadAbdirahman Faysal Ahmed and MahatM Ali ndash numerous opportunities fornuance especially in roles that couldhave been stereotypical or at worstactively offensive But I was less thrilledthan flabbergasted that Hanks afterso many going-through-the-motionsperformances in the years since 2000rsquosCast Away could again appear on-
screen this vital and connected andalive with his last 10 minutes hereperhaps marking a new high point inthe career of the two-time Oscar winner(I was literally shaking during his finalscene Not as much as he was butshaking nonetheless) Captain Phillips is
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Wersquove all seen movies that beginspectacularly well but seem to slowly sadlylose their inspiration as they progressleaving you to wonder by their finaleswhat it was that initially had you so jazzedabout them Paul Greengrassrsquo dramaticthriller Captain Phillips Irsquom happy tosay is not one of those movies Actuallyit might be the exact opposite of oneof those movies a work that starts outdistractingly shaky yet gradually morphsinto something utterly spectacular ndash so spectacular in truth that you can barelyremember how off-put you were by thecomparative bummer of its early scenes
Barely remembering however isnrsquotquite the same as forgetting so al low me toaddress Captain Phillipsrsquo first 15 minutes
before commencing with my praiseBased on the real-life 2009 hijacking ofan American cargo ship by four well-armed Somalis director Greengrassrsquo latestopens in the suburban-Vermont homeof the shiprsquos captain Richard Phillips ashe prepares for his il l-fated voyage Weknow by the gentle light homey deacutecor andPhillipsrsquo packing of a family photo that hersquosa man of fundamental decency a notionexacerbated by the casting of Tom Hanks
an actor whorsquos spent the vast majority ofhis screen career with ldquoMan of the Peoplerdquopractically stenciled on his forehead (Foradded telegraphing Catherine ldquoSalt of theEarthrdquo Keener is cast as Phillipsrsquo wife)
But while this quiet introduction wouldalmost certainly be all wersquod require forempathy Greengrass and screenwriterBilly Ray ndash adapting co-authors Phillipsrsquo
and StephenTaltyrsquosnonfictionaccount ofthe tale ndashdonrsquot appearentirelyconvinced
Insteadtheir openeris followeda strangelydidactic ride-to-the-airport scene in which the spouseshave a melancholy chat about their kidsrsquofutures and the uncertain economy andhow ldquothings arenrsquot the way they used to berdquotheir conversation sounding resoundinglylike scripted (ie forced) dialogue And
by the time Phill ips has boarded his shipdemanding safety inspections and drillsthat his union crew discreetly roll theireyes at the manrsquos incorruptible goodnessalready feels oppressive ndash and is evidencedfurther when you notice that Phillips hadthat family photo also printed on his coffeemug (So why pack the picture) We get ityou want to say Phillips plus Hanks equalssaint
Greengrass and Ray do at least hint thatCaptain Phillips will be less cut-and-driedthan its prelude suggests with their earlyinclusion of a sequence set in a depressedSomali outpost Entrenched in theenvironmentrsquos horrific poverty easy accessto artillery and constant looming threatof violence wersquore made to understand theconditions that could lead to an oceanichijacking ndash conditions that can alsobe read in full in the gaunt haunted
murderouslydeterminedface of BarkhadAbdi whoportrays (ina sensationalfilm debut)the missionrsquos
eventual leaderMuse Whilenever overtlysympathizingwith Muse
and the three other Somali pirates whoboard Phillipsrsquo ship the movie refuses to
view its antagonists solely as ldquothe otherrdquowhich is a refreshing break from the normIt wouldrsquove been even more refreshingI thought if th is werenrsquot the very same
tactic employed by Greengrass for his 911thriller United 93 despite the undeniableprofessionalism of its presentation Ispent the moviersquos first 15 minutes feelinglike Greengrass in Captain Phillipswas traveling on perhaps-too-well-trodground
And here is where my complainingends Because from the moment Phillipsbecomes aware of the Somalis (in twoboats initially) trailing his ship thefilm turns into something downrightextraordinary a dramatic procedural thatbecomes an intense cat-and-mouse thrillerand then a beat-the-clock action pic andthen a harrowing rescue tale and finallya heart-wrenching look at the emotionalimpact of real-life heroism
No one familiar with Greengrassrsquohelming of United 93 or the second andthird entries in the Jason Bourne franchise

24 and in reviewing the singersongwriter
guitaristrsquos solo debut Audition Tapesthis past
summer Paste magazine wrote ldquoItrsquos like Morris

went on to call the CDrsquos title track ldquoa simple
slice of alt-country pierdquo with ldquoa scoop of
emo melting across the molasses-drenched
crustrdquo and the album itself ldquoan all-ages
potluckrdquo and ldquoworth a toastrdquo
Gosh thatrsquos an awful lot of food references
Are we sure itrsquos not the Paste author who
favored that nice Americana-nodding spliff
Regardless from all accounts AuditionTapes sounds like a tasty mix which certainly
wonrsquot come as a surprise to Morrisrsquo many

The starting point of Living Downstream was comparing information from statecancer registries (started in the 1970s) andthe EPArsquos Toxic Release Inventory (startedin 1986) By the 1990s Steingraber saidthere was enough information to seecancer trends You could for example seea correlation between pesticide spraying inCape Cod and cancer incidence there ldquoYoucan actually map the sort of moving shadowof cancer rdquo she said
That sort of linking she said had ldquobeendone in a couple of the highly technicaldocuments [But] no one had tried to doit for the general publicrdquo before LivingDownstream
ldquoI actually returned to myhometown moved into my sisterrsquosbasement and began an intensivestudy of the toxic-waste sites and watercontamination and the air pollution inmy home community and discoveredI was just one data point in a cluster ofcancers there Thatrsquos the story that I tellin Living Downstreamrdquo
Through that process she said shefound support for her belief that hercancer had environmental causes ldquoOneof the things that I discovered was thepresence of perchlorethylene which isdry-cleaning solvent in my hometowndrinking-water wells Perchlorethyleneis a probable bladder carcinogen So it
is likely that my own cancer was causedbecause years before I was born whenmachine shops used perchlorethyleneas a solvent to de-grease metal partssomebody dumped a vat of it out back itseeped into the groundwater and then Ias a kid grew up drinking it and paid theprice for it And still am paying the priceBecause I am now 54 and Irsquove lived for 34years as a bladder-cancer patient I live ahighly medicalized liferdquo

Monday October 28 730 pm
Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest
reason to be excited about the Adlerrsquos
booking of Memphis Ms Gloveryou see appeared in a 1997 musical
titled A Legendary Christmas at RockIslandrsquos Circa rsquo21 Dinner PlayhouseI was a Circa rsquo21 employee at thetime And my fellow B ootleggers andI would oftentimes hang with Ms
Glover after performancesThatrsquos right Memphis is the show
that makes me only two degrees ofseparation from the Tony Awards
And my parents thought that theatre
major of mine wouldnrsquot amount toanything

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot

Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty
Of course

Domingo Rubio left no doubt thathis Count
Dracula was in
charge during Fridayrsquos
performance of Ballet
Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula
at Molinersquos Scottish
Rite Cathedral (The
production ended
its run on Saturday)
From his bat-like
entrance ndash with the
dancer slowly f lapping
his black cape from front to back as he made
his way through the darkened auditorium ndash
to his death Rubiorsquos Dracula never seemed
controlled by anyone and that included
choreographer Deanna Carter Rubio gave
the impression that his Dracula wasnrsquot mov-
ing because Carter gave him predetermined
choreography but because it was the way he
wanted to move
Dracula was not the first character to grace
the stage however This balletic horror storystarted with Patrick Greenrsquos Renfield in an
asylum in England and Greenrsquos movements
left no question about his characterrsquos mental
state as he hopped around on all fours
mixing in graceful steps and arm sweeps
from the floor to his mouth (This Renfield
showed a penchant for eating bugs) He was
accompanied by a group of fellow patients
wearing crazed-hair wigs and moving in
an often chaotic frenzy their movements
sometimes aligning with his in a sort of linedance reminiscent of Michael Jacksonrsquos creepy
ldquoThrillerrdquo video Greenrsquos portrayal was so
dynamic and Carterrsquos choreography so true
to the character that it was unfortunate that
Renfield did not play more prominently in
the story
Then again it seemed hard if not
impossible for anyone to match Rubiorsquos
command of the stage Rubio increased the
nobility and authority of his blood-sucking
count through movements that were neverstaccato or halting and his always-graceful
arcs and sweeps seemed to emanate from
his commanding tone It was as though
Rubiorsquos Dracula cast his spells by way of his
movement which was most evident when
he first met Jill Schwartzrsquos virginal Lucy the
recently engaged woman on whom Dracula
has set his eyes While she fell under his
control Carter choreographed mimicked
movements as Schwartz danced with
precision while Rubio went through the same
motions but with a fluidity that made it clear
that his Dracula was taking charge of Lucyrsquos
will
What was also remarkable about Rubiorsquos
performance in addition to his flowing
dominance was his sensuality an essence thatwas neither lusty
nor base Dracularsquos
suggestive nature
started with Rubiorsquos
costume which
included a black
long-sleeve mesh
shirt While Rubiorsquos
torso was visible
the slightly opaque
nature of this shirt
created a sexiness
that was more effective than bare skin would
have been because his costume made it seem
as though we were getting a mere peek at his
physique we were allowed to discover his
body rather than having it fully presented to
us And with this look combined with Rubiorsquos
authority and grace Dracularsquos sexuality here
was a force to be reckoned with
In contrast there was a wilder nature to
Dracularsquos brides portrayed by Marie Buser
Margaret Huling and Tessa Moore Their free-flowing hair and the abandon in their dancing
more than suggested their charactersrsquo interest
in the sins of the flesh particularly as they
seduced Alec Rothrsquos Jonathan Harker during
his visit to Dracularsquos Transylvania castle The
sexy demeanor of these dancers was topped
only by Lucyrsquos as she was ultimately taken in
by Dracula With Schwartz dressed in a sheer
red nightgown over clothing that matched
her skin tone her pas de deux with Rubio was
the lustiest encounter of the evening Whilethey danced Schwartzrsquos gown would ride up
her body and give the impression of her being
nude underneath the shock of which was
only overpowered by a realistic special effect
employed when Dracula bit her neck and sent
a wash of dark blood down her chest
Lucy was eventually staked through the
heart under the order of Jacob Lyonrsquos Dr Van
Helsing called in to diagnose what was wrong
with the now-erratic woman With his new
bride truly dead Dracula then vied for theaffections of Jonathanrsquos fianceacute Emily Kate
Longrsquos innocent Mina Murray-Harker who
became the bait in a final battle between Van
Helsing and Dracula that contrasted Rubiorsquos
grace with Lyonrsquos technique
But all throughout the production it was
evident why Ballet Quad Citiesrsquo Dracula with
Rubio returning in the role is so often part of
the companyrsquos seasons Carterrsquos choreography
creates a story thatrsquos easy to follow ndash although
it does require the aid of the programrsquos
thorough plot description to understand the
characters ndash and the sexuality of the piece is
intoxicating with enough horrific elements
added to both shock and please during its
hour-long performance

tephen King John Mellencamp TBone Burnett
Three instantly recognizablenames Three iconic artists withenormous fan bases and lengthy listsof professional accomplishments Andtaken together three of the last people youmight expect to find collaborating on amusical for the stage
That however is precisely what book-writer King composer Mellencamp andproducermusical director Burnett didand what resulted was Ghost Brothersof Darkland County a song-filled
supernatural Southern Gothic that hadits world premiere last year in a run atAtlantarsquos Alliance Theatre
Yet when local audiences see theshow ndash which theyrsquoll be able to whenthe touring Ghost Brothers of DarklandCounty lands at Davenportrsquos AdlerTheatre on November 3 ndash it wonrsquot be quitethe same one that audiences in Atlantaexperienced For one thing this currentproduction stars noted film and television
actor Bruce Greenwood famed for rolesin such big-screen entertainments asThirteen Days (in which he played JFKduring the Cuban missile crisis) FlightCapote and director JJ Abramsrsquo Star Trekmovies which found the actor portraying the(Spoiler Alert) doomed Captain ChristopherPike
ldquoThis was just something that was sodifferent for merdquo said Greenwood duringour phone interview about his present
momentary break from filmmaking ldquoBut Ithought lsquoWell you know yeah ndash let me takesix weeks off and go have a different kind offunrsquordquo
But an even more crucial differencebetween the Ghost Brothers of Atlanta and theGhost Brothers of its current 20-city tour isthat the musical in question is technically nolonger a musical Itrsquos now as director SusanV Booth explained in an e-mail interview ldquoakind of live radio playrdquo that ldquoreally is a wholenew version of the show
ldquoWe didnrsquot just pack up the set andthe costumes and hit the roadrdquo Boothwrote during the rehearsal process forGhost Brothersrsquo tour (which debuted inBloomington Indiana on October 10)
ldquoThe actors deliver the material arounda radio mic with very little else but theirspirits and voices Itrsquos ending up makingthe show much more powerful by makingit much more entwined with the audiencersquosimaginationrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a really interesting formatrdquoGreenwood added ldquoItrsquos a very spareenvironment But of course the environment
of terror that Stephen creates is Thedemon is between your ears you know Itrsquosnot so much in your physical surroundingsrdquo
Landing the FishBooth currently serves as artistic director
for the Alliance Theatre ndash recipient of theprestigious 2007 Regional Theatre TonyAward for ldquooutstanding achievement by aprofessional non-profit regional theatrerdquondash and stated that getting to work on Ghost
Brothers had been a dream long before sheeven knew of its existence
ldquoYears agordquo Booth said ldquoI had beenasked what projects Irsquod hoped to bring tothe Alliance Theatre during my time there
I said I hoped to get John Mellencampto write a musical because I alwaysthought that his songs were thesebrilliant character studies A few yearslater a mutual friend reached out tome and told me that he had in factalready written one and that hersquodpartnered with no less than StephenKing
ldquoI started trying to land that fishthen ndash and it only took another fewyears before the conversation beganrdquo
The collaboration between longtimefriends Mellencamp and King (and
as of 2010 Burnett) began in 2000with a true story told by the Grammy-winning rocker involving two brothersa girl they both loved an accidentalkilling and a car crash Over thenext decade ndash and with Mellencampproviding bluegrass gospel and roots-rock voice for the characters ndash this talemorphed into a more recognizablyKing-ian narrative complete withburied family secrets and a mysterious
Satanic entity referred to as ldquoTheShaperdquo
ldquoThe Alliance has a rich history ofdeveloping and producing new Americanmusicalsrdquo said Booth ldquoso the fit was goodAnd as a Midwesterner who grew up readingKing and listening to Mellencamp ndash and nowliving in the South ndash I felt like the world ofthe play made personal sense to me so I putup my hand and said Irsquod like to directrdquo
Happily for Booth ldquothey were good
enough to say yesrdquo (In a 2011 pressconference King ndash as quoted by the Atlantaweekly Neighbor Newspapers ndash stated ldquoWewanted a place that was cosmopolitan butnot out-of-touch with country roots Atlantaseemed like the middle of the bullrsquos eyerdquo)
Yet Booth said it was clear even from thestart of Ghost Brothersrsquo 2012 rehearsals thatthe show ndash befitting its eclectic behind-the-scenes talent ndash wasnrsquot going to be any kind oftraditional musical-theatre experience
ldquoI think the silliest thing you could dowhen yoursquore working with three artists whoare lions in their fields is to try to shoehorntheir talents into some existing moldrdquo she

final cadence
In a post-concert interview Torke
said he was ldquothrilledrdquo with the
orchestrarsquos rendering With emphatic
conducting gestures Torke said
ldquoMarkrsquos slower tempo made my music
more grand than I originally imaginedrdquo
Smithrsquos interpretation of the new
music and the orchestrarsquos performance
were energized vivid and taut Heavily
doubled with many instrumentalcombinations playing the same musical
figures the orchestra effectively shaped
the thematic repetitions into a slowly
changing musical kaleidoscope
Torkersquos ideas were concise and
intense yet more dazzling than
substantive more sensuous than
profound But they were orchestrated
and developed with great skill toward
the goal of inculcating the audience
with anticipation and it workedA delightful addition to the program
was Wootenrsquos customized narration to
Brittenrsquos instrumental-demonstration
piece A complete redo of Eric Crozierrsquos
original sterile text Wooten not
only editorialized about the nature
of each instrumental family and its
components but named most of the
performers as they played through the
variations He added a spattering of
insider humor as well with commentssuch as ldquoThe brass can be very loud
so they must sit in the backrdquo and
ldquoPercussion are kept in the kitchen
where they can bang on anything in
front of themrdquo these drew chuckles
from the audience and on-stage
reactions with musicians smiling as
they played
It was in this light piece that the
orchestra created its most glorious
moment of the night The brilliantmusical unification of the noble
opening brass theme with the fast
fanciful unison fugue theme at the
end produced a gripping symphonic
experience
And the Brahms was convincingly
dramatic and played with secure
technical command The slow
compound rhythmic figures in the
first and second movements drifted
seamlessly between the orchestra andsoloist Close communication between
Smith and Biss led to quiet whispers
of tone in their reflecting exchanges
The first Masterworks concertof the Quad City Symphonyrsquos99th season was a checkerboard
of strengths and weaknesses Huge
transcendent moments filled the AdlerTheatre in the October 5 concert but
when things got quiet discrepancies
in tone color balance and rhythm ap-peared
Under the direction of Music
Director and Conductor Mark RussellSmith the orchestra explored four
diverse approaches to compositionin reverse chronological order
Commissioned by the Quad City
Symphony the world premiere ofAmerican composer Michael Torkersquos
Oracle opened the program followed
by fellow countryman Aaron JayKernisrsquo Musica Celestis featuring
only the strings The mid-20th
Centuryrsquos Young Personrsquos Guide tothe Orchestra by British composer
Benjamin Britten ndash with humorousnarration by local media personality
Don Wooten ndash completed the first half
After intermission pianist JonathanBiss joined the orchestra for Johannes
Brahmsrsquo Concerto for Piano No 1
The concert was an elegantlydesigned program that included
a variety of contemporary works
balanced by a classic masterpiecebut ndash except for Torke ndash it was not
a good selection of music for thisorchestra In the tutti sections when
all the instruments were played the
mixture of timbre was profuse Yet asthe scoring broke down into smaller
instrumental combinations the
differences in individual colors becamemore problematic The result was tonal
incompatibility both among the same
instruments and between instrumentalfamilies
Torkersquos four-minute opener was a
clear highlight The music in the scoreappeared to be simple ndash quarter and
eighth notes laid out across the pagewith unchanging whole-note pitches
held for several bars But when the
orchestra played them the wholenotes became expanding waves of
sonic clusters that washed over you
The shorter notes became a pulsatingengine propelling the waves higher
and sending them crashing into you
Wave after wave with subtle changesin orchestration and pitch formed the
core gestures of a piece that grew to its

will be surprised to learn that on atechnical level Captain Phillips isclose to breathtaking With The HurtLocker rsquos Barry Ackroyd serving ascinematographer Greengrassrsquo seeminglycaught-on-the-fly (yet surely rigorouslythought-out) compositions arepresented with clarity and immediacy
and Christopher Rousersquos marvelouslysharp editing ndash combined with thepropulsive thrust of composer HenryJackmanrsquos superb score ndash makes yougrateful that breathing is an involuntarybodily function
Sterling technique of the sortdisplayed here would handily makeGreengrassrsquo outing first-rate Itrsquos themoviersquos humans that make it potentiallyunforgettable I was thrilled that the
direction and Rayrsquos script gave Abdiand Musersquos heavily armed companionsndash very well-played by BarkhadAbdirahman Faysal Ahmed and MahatM Ali ndash numerous opportunities fornuance especially in roles that couldhave been stereotypical or at worstactively offensive But I was less thrilledthan flabbergasted that Hanks afterso many going-through-the-motionsperformances in the years since 2000rsquosCast Away could again appear on-
screen this vital and connected andalive with his last 10 minutes hereperhaps marking a new high point inthe career of the two-time Oscar winner(I was literally shaking during his finalscene Not as much as he was butshaking nonetheless) Captain Phillips is
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Wersquove all seen movies that beginspectacularly well but seem to slowly sadlylose their inspiration as they progressleaving you to wonder by their finaleswhat it was that initially had you so jazzedabout them Paul Greengrassrsquo dramaticthriller Captain Phillips Irsquom happy tosay is not one of those movies Actuallyit might be the exact opposite of oneof those movies a work that starts outdistractingly shaky yet gradually morphsinto something utterly spectacular ndash so spectacular in truth that you can barelyremember how off-put you were by thecomparative bummer of its early scenes
Barely remembering however isnrsquotquite the same as forgetting so al low me toaddress Captain Phillipsrsquo first 15 minutes
before commencing with my praiseBased on the real-life 2009 hijacking ofan American cargo ship by four well-armed Somalis director Greengrassrsquo latestopens in the suburban-Vermont homeof the shiprsquos captain Richard Phillips ashe prepares for his il l-fated voyage Weknow by the gentle light homey deacutecor andPhillipsrsquo packing of a family photo that hersquosa man of fundamental decency a notionexacerbated by the casting of Tom Hanks
an actor whorsquos spent the vast majority ofhis screen career with ldquoMan of the Peoplerdquopractically stenciled on his forehead (Foradded telegraphing Catherine ldquoSalt of theEarthrdquo Keener is cast as Phillipsrsquo wife)
But while this quiet introduction wouldalmost certainly be all wersquod require forempathy Greengrass and screenwriterBilly Ray ndash adapting co-authors Phillipsrsquo
and StephenTaltyrsquosnonfictionaccount ofthe tale ndashdonrsquot appearentirelyconvinced
Insteadtheir openeris followeda strangelydidactic ride-to-the-airport scene in which the spouseshave a melancholy chat about their kidsrsquofutures and the uncertain economy andhow ldquothings arenrsquot the way they used to berdquotheir conversation sounding resoundinglylike scripted (ie forced) dialogue And
by the time Phill ips has boarded his shipdemanding safety inspections and drillsthat his union crew discreetly roll theireyes at the manrsquos incorruptible goodnessalready feels oppressive ndash and is evidencedfurther when you notice that Phillips hadthat family photo also printed on his coffeemug (So why pack the picture) We get ityou want to say Phillips plus Hanks equalssaint
Greengrass and Ray do at least hint thatCaptain Phillips will be less cut-and-driedthan its prelude suggests with their earlyinclusion of a sequence set in a depressedSomali outpost Entrenched in theenvironmentrsquos horrific poverty easy accessto artillery and constant looming threatof violence wersquore made to understand theconditions that could lead to an oceanichijacking ndash conditions that can alsobe read in full in the gaunt haunted
murderouslydeterminedface of BarkhadAbdi whoportrays (ina sensationalfilm debut)the missionrsquos
eventual leaderMuse Whilenever overtlysympathizingwith Muse
and the three other Somali pirates whoboard Phillipsrsquo ship the movie refuses to
view its antagonists solely as ldquothe otherrdquowhich is a refreshing break from the normIt wouldrsquove been even more refreshingI thought if th is werenrsquot the very same
tactic employed by Greengrass for his 911thriller United 93 despite the undeniableprofessionalism of its presentation Ispent the moviersquos first 15 minutes feelinglike Greengrass in Captain Phillipswas traveling on perhaps-too-well-trodground
And here is where my complainingends Because from the moment Phillipsbecomes aware of the Somalis (in twoboats initially) trailing his ship thefilm turns into something downrightextraordinary a dramatic procedural thatbecomes an intense cat-and-mouse thrillerand then a beat-the-clock action pic andthen a harrowing rescue tale and finallya heart-wrenching look at the emotionalimpact of real-life heroism
No one familiar with Greengrassrsquohelming of United 93 or the second andthird entries in the Jason Bourne franchise

The starting point of Living Downstream was comparing information from statecancer registries (started in the 1970s) andthe EPArsquos Toxic Release Inventory (startedin 1986) By the 1990s Steingraber saidthere was enough information to seecancer trends You could for example seea correlation between pesticide spraying inCape Cod and cancer incidence there ldquoYoucan actually map the sort of moving shadowof cancer rdquo she said
That sort of linking she said had ldquobeendone in a couple of the highly technicaldocuments [But] no one had tried to doit for the general publicrdquo before LivingDownstream
ldquoI actually returned to myhometown moved into my sisterrsquosbasement and began an intensivestudy of the toxic-waste sites and watercontamination and the air pollution inmy home community and discoveredI was just one data point in a cluster ofcancers there Thatrsquos the story that I tellin Living Downstreamrdquo
Through that process she said shefound support for her belief that hercancer had environmental causes ldquoOneof the things that I discovered was thepresence of perchlorethylene which isdry-cleaning solvent in my hometowndrinking-water wells Perchlorethyleneis a probable bladder carcinogen So it
is likely that my own cancer was causedbecause years before I was born whenmachine shops used perchlorethyleneas a solvent to de-grease metal partssomebody dumped a vat of it out back itseeped into the groundwater and then Ias a kid grew up drinking it and paid theprice for it And still am paying the priceBecause I am now 54 and Irsquove lived for 34years as a bladder-cancer patient I live ahighly medicalized liferdquo
Itrsquos critical to understand that bythemselves the links Steingraberuncovered demonstrate correlation ratherthan causation ldquoItrsquos not proof of anythingrdquoshe said ldquoItrsquos like a red flag that says lsquoDigherersquo
ldquoLiving Downstream is like a big jigsaw puzzlerdquo she explained If thereappears to be a relationship between atoxic release and a cancer cluster thenitrsquos imperative to see what else is knownFor example researchers interested in thelink between non-Hodgkin lymphomaand pesticides can explore the scientificliterature on malignant lymphoma indogs occupational risks for non-Hodgkinlymphoma and the molecular connection
between pesticides and the diseaseldquoYou start to see a picture that emergesrdquoSteingraber said ldquoI advocate for taking aweight-of-the-evidence approach So itrsquosnot about lsquoOkay we have a correlationso therefore letrsquos ban everythingrsquo That

Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest
reason to be excited about the Adlerrsquos
booking of Memphis Ms Gloveryou see appeared in a 1997 musical
titled A Legendary Christmas at RockIslandrsquos Circa rsquo21 Dinner PlayhouseI was a Circa rsquo21 employee at thetime And my fellow B ootleggers andI would oftentimes hang with Ms
Glover after performancesThatrsquos right Memphis is the show
that makes me only two degrees ofseparation from the Tony Awards
And my parents thought that theatre
major of mine wouldnrsquot amount toanything

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

Booth meanwhile said ldquoWhat I loveabout this piece ndash and particularly this

you whenever your boyfriendrsquos bro will be

The complicated truth is that if your

bouncing after you like puppies you may
be priming his mate-retention subself by
reminding him that you have other options To
keep him from suspecting yoursquore interested in
other options prime your own mate-retentionsubself Look at cute pictures of the two of you

The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college

A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot

cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

tephen King John Mellencamp TBone Burnett
Three instantly recognizablenames Three iconic artists withenormous fan bases and lengthy listsof professional accomplishments Andtaken together three of the last people youmight expect to find collaborating on amusical for the stage
That however is precisely what book-writer King composer Mellencamp andproducermusical director Burnett didand what resulted was Ghost Brothersof Darkland County a song-filled
supernatural Southern Gothic that hadits world premiere last year in a run atAtlantarsquos Alliance Theatre
Yet when local audiences see theshow ndash which theyrsquoll be able to whenthe touring Ghost Brothers of DarklandCounty lands at Davenportrsquos AdlerTheatre on November 3 ndash it wonrsquot be quitethe same one that audiences in Atlantaexperienced For one thing this currentproduction stars noted film and television
actor Bruce Greenwood famed for rolesin such big-screen entertainments asThirteen Days (in which he played JFKduring the Cuban missile crisis) FlightCapote and director JJ Abramsrsquo Star Trekmovies which found the actor portraying the(Spoiler Alert) doomed Captain ChristopherPike
ldquoThis was just something that was sodifferent for merdquo said Greenwood duringour phone interview about his present
momentary break from filmmaking ldquoBut Ithought lsquoWell you know yeah ndash let me takesix weeks off and go have a different kind offunrsquordquo
But an even more crucial differencebetween the Ghost Brothers of Atlanta and theGhost Brothers of its current 20-city tour isthat the musical in question is technically nolonger a musical Itrsquos now as director SusanV Booth explained in an e-mail interview ldquoakind of live radio playrdquo that ldquoreally is a wholenew version of the show
ldquoWe didnrsquot just pack up the set andthe costumes and hit the roadrdquo Boothwrote during the rehearsal process forGhost Brothersrsquo tour (which debuted inBloomington Indiana on October 10)
ldquoThe actors deliver the material arounda radio mic with very little else but theirspirits and voices Itrsquos ending up makingthe show much more powerful by makingit much more entwined with the audiencersquosimaginationrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a really interesting formatrdquoGreenwood added ldquoItrsquos a very spareenvironment But of course the environment
of terror that Stephen creates is Thedemon is between your ears you know Itrsquosnot so much in your physical surroundingsrdquo
Landing the FishBooth currently serves as artistic director
for the Alliance Theatre ndash recipient of theprestigious 2007 Regional Theatre TonyAward for ldquooutstanding achievement by aprofessional non-profit regional theatrerdquondash and stated that getting to work on Ghost
Brothers had been a dream long before sheeven knew of its existence
ldquoYears agordquo Booth said ldquoI had beenasked what projects Irsquod hoped to bring tothe Alliance Theatre during my time there
I said I hoped to get John Mellencampto write a musical because I alwaysthought that his songs were thesebrilliant character studies A few yearslater a mutual friend reached out tome and told me that he had in factalready written one and that hersquodpartnered with no less than StephenKing
ldquoI started trying to land that fishthen ndash and it only took another fewyears before the conversation beganrdquo
The collaboration between longtimefriends Mellencamp and King (and
as of 2010 Burnett) began in 2000with a true story told by the Grammy-winning rocker involving two brothersa girl they both loved an accidentalkilling and a car crash Over thenext decade ndash and with Mellencampproviding bluegrass gospel and roots-rock voice for the characters ndash this talemorphed into a more recognizablyKing-ian narrative complete withburied family secrets and a mysterious
Satanic entity referred to as ldquoTheShaperdquo
ldquoThe Alliance has a rich history ofdeveloping and producing new Americanmusicalsrdquo said Booth ldquoso the fit was goodAnd as a Midwesterner who grew up readingKing and listening to Mellencamp ndash and nowliving in the South ndash I felt like the world ofthe play made personal sense to me so I putup my hand and said Irsquod like to directrdquo
Happily for Booth ldquothey were good
enough to say yesrdquo (In a 2011 pressconference King ndash as quoted by the Atlantaweekly Neighbor Newspapers ndash stated ldquoWewanted a place that was cosmopolitan butnot out-of-touch with country roots Atlantaseemed like the middle of the bullrsquos eyerdquo)
Yet Booth said it was clear even from thestart of Ghost Brothersrsquo 2012 rehearsals thatthe show ndash befitting its eclectic behind-the-scenes talent ndash wasnrsquot going to be any kind oftraditional musical-theatre experience
ldquoI think the silliest thing you could dowhen yoursquore working with three artists whoare lions in their fields is to try to shoehorntheir talents into some existing moldrdquo she

final cadence
In a post-concert interview Torke
said he was ldquothrilledrdquo with the
orchestrarsquos rendering With emphatic
conducting gestures Torke said
ldquoMarkrsquos slower tempo made my music
more grand than I originally imaginedrdquo
Smithrsquos interpretation of the new
music and the orchestrarsquos performance
were energized vivid and taut Heavily
doubled with many instrumentalcombinations playing the same musical
figures the orchestra effectively shaped
the thematic repetitions into a slowly
changing musical kaleidoscope
Torkersquos ideas were concise and
intense yet more dazzling than
substantive more sensuous than
profound But they were orchestrated
and developed with great skill toward
the goal of inculcating the audience
with anticipation and it workedA delightful addition to the program
was Wootenrsquos customized narration to
Brittenrsquos instrumental-demonstration
piece A complete redo of Eric Crozierrsquos
original sterile text Wooten not
only editorialized about the nature
of each instrumental family and its
components but named most of the
performers as they played through the
variations He added a spattering of
insider humor as well with commentssuch as ldquoThe brass can be very loud
so they must sit in the backrdquo and
ldquoPercussion are kept in the kitchen
where they can bang on anything in
front of themrdquo these drew chuckles
from the audience and on-stage
reactions with musicians smiling as
they played
It was in this light piece that the
orchestra created its most glorious
moment of the night The brilliantmusical unification of the noble
opening brass theme with the fast
fanciful unison fugue theme at the
end produced a gripping symphonic
experience
And the Brahms was convincingly
dramatic and played with secure
technical command The slow
compound rhythmic figures in the
first and second movements drifted
seamlessly between the orchestra andsoloist Close communication between
Smith and Biss led to quiet whispers
of tone in their reflecting exchanges
The first Masterworks concertof the Quad City Symphonyrsquos99th season was a checkerboard
of strengths and weaknesses Huge
transcendent moments filled the AdlerTheatre in the October 5 concert but
when things got quiet discrepancies
in tone color balance and rhythm ap-peared
Under the direction of Music
Director and Conductor Mark RussellSmith the orchestra explored four

After intermission pianist JonathanBiss joined the orchestra for Johannes
Brahmsrsquo Concerto for Piano No 1
The concert was an elegantlydesigned program that included
a variety of contemporary works
balanced by a classic masterpiecebut ndash except for Torke ndash it was not
a good selection of music for thisorchestra In the tutti sections when
all the instruments were played the
mixture of timbre was profuse Yet asthe scoring broke down into smaller
instrumental combinations the
differences in individual colors becamemore problematic The result was tonal
incompatibility both among the same
instruments and between instrumentalfamilies
Torkersquos four-minute opener was a
clear highlight The music in the scoreappeared to be simple ndash quarter and
eighth notes laid out across the pagewith unchanging whole-note pitches
held for several bars But when the
orchestra played them the wholenotes became expanding waves of
sonic clusters that washed over you
The shorter notes became a pulsatingengine propelling the waves higher
and sending them crashing into you
Wave after wave with subtle changesin orchestration and pitch formed the

will be surprised to learn that on atechnical level Captain Phillips isclose to breathtaking With The HurtLocker rsquos Barry Ackroyd serving ascinematographer Greengrassrsquo seeminglycaught-on-the-fly (yet surely rigorouslythought-out) compositions arepresented with clarity and immediacy
and Christopher Rousersquos marvelouslysharp editing ndash combined with thepropulsive thrust of composer HenryJackmanrsquos superb score ndash makes yougrateful that breathing is an involuntarybodily function
Sterling technique of the sortdisplayed here would handily makeGreengrassrsquo outing first-rate Itrsquos themoviersquos humans that make it potentiallyunforgettable I was thrilled that the
direction and Rayrsquos script gave Abdiand Musersquos heavily armed companionsndash very well-played by BarkhadAbdirahman Faysal Ahmed and MahatM Ali ndash numerous opportunities fornuance especially in roles that couldhave been stereotypical or at worstactively offensive But I was less thrilledthan flabbergasted that Hanks afterso many going-through-the-motionsperformances in the years since 2000rsquosCast Away could again appear on-
screen this vital and connected andalive with his last 10 minutes hereperhaps marking a new high point inthe career of the two-time Oscar winner(I was literally shaking during his finalscene Not as much as he was butshaking nonetheless) Captain Phillips is
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Wersquove all seen movies that beginspectacularly well but seem to slowly sadlylose their inspiration as they progressleaving you to wonder by their finaleswhat it was that initially had you so jazzedabout them Paul Greengrassrsquo dramaticthriller Captain Phillips Irsquom happy tosay is not one of those movies Actuallyit might be the exact opposite of oneof those movies a work that starts outdistractingly shaky yet gradually morphsinto something utterly spectacular ndash so spectacular in truth that you can barelyremember how off-put you were by thecomparative bummer of its early scenes
Barely remembering however isnrsquotquite the same as forgetting so al low me toaddress Captain Phillipsrsquo first 15 minutes
before commencing with my praiseBased on the real-life 2009 hijacking ofan American cargo ship by four well-armed Somalis director Greengrassrsquo latestopens in the suburban-Vermont homeof the shiprsquos captain Richard Phillips ashe prepares for his il l-fated voyage Weknow by the gentle light homey deacutecor andPhillipsrsquo packing of a family photo that hersquosa man of fundamental decency a notionexacerbated by the casting of Tom Hanks
an actor whorsquos spent the vast majority ofhis screen career with ldquoMan of the Peoplerdquopractically stenciled on his forehead (Foradded telegraphing Catherine ldquoSalt of theEarthrdquo Keener is cast as Phillipsrsquo wife)
But while this quiet introduction wouldalmost certainly be all wersquod require forempathy Greengrass and screenwriterBilly Ray ndash adapting co-authors Phillipsrsquo
and StephenTaltyrsquosnonfictionaccount ofthe tale ndashdonrsquot appearentirelyconvinced
Insteadtheir openeris followeda strangelydidactic ride-to-the-airport scene in which the spouseshave a melancholy chat about their kidsrsquofutures and the uncertain economy andhow ldquothings arenrsquot the way they used to berdquotheir conversation sounding resoundinglylike scripted (ie forced) dialogue And
by the time Phill ips has boarded his shipdemanding safety inspections and drillsthat his union crew discreetly roll theireyes at the manrsquos incorruptible goodnessalready feels oppressive ndash and is evidencedfurther when you notice that Phillips hadthat family photo also printed on his coffeemug (So why pack the picture) We get ityou want to say Phillips plus Hanks equalssaint
Greengrass and Ray do at least hint thatCaptain Phillips will be less cut-and-driedthan its prelude suggests with their earlyinclusion of a sequence set in a depressedSomali outpost Entrenched in theenvironmentrsquos horrific poverty easy accessto artillery and constant looming threatof violence wersquore made to understand theconditions that could lead to an oceanichijacking ndash conditions that can alsobe read in full in the gaunt haunted
murderouslydeterminedface of BarkhadAbdi whoportrays (ina sensationalfilm debut)the missionrsquos
eventual leaderMuse Whilenever overtlysympathizingwith Muse
and the three other Somali pirates whoboard Phillipsrsquo ship the movie refuses to
view its antagonists solely as ldquothe otherrdquowhich is a refreshing break from the normIt wouldrsquove been even more refreshingI thought if th is werenrsquot the very same
tactic employed by Greengrass for his 911thriller United 93 despite the undeniableprofessionalism of its presentation Ispent the moviersquos first 15 minutes feelinglike Greengrass in Captain Phillipswas traveling on perhaps-too-well-trodground
And here is where my complainingends Because from the moment Phillipsbecomes aware of the Somalis (in twoboats initially) trailing his ship thefilm turns into something downrightextraordinary a dramatic procedural thatbecomes an intense cat-and-mouse thrillerand then a beat-the-clock action pic andthen a harrowing rescue tale and finallya heart-wrenching look at the emotionalimpact of real-life heroism
No one familiar with Greengrassrsquohelming of United 93 or the second andthird entries in the Jason Bourne franchise

The starting point of Living Downstream was comparing information from statecancer registries (started in the 1970s) andthe EPArsquos Toxic Release Inventory (startedin 1986) By the 1990s Steingraber saidthere was enough information to seecancer trends You could for example seea correlation between pesticide spraying inCape Cod and cancer incidence there ldquoYoucan actually map the sort of moving shadowof cancer rdquo she said
That sort of linking she said had ldquobeendone in a couple of the highly technicaldocuments [But] no one had tried to doit for the general publicrdquo before LivingDownstream
ldquoI actually returned to myhometown moved into my sisterrsquosbasement and began an intensivestudy of the toxic-waste sites and watercontamination and the air pollution inmy home community and discoveredI was just one data point in a cluster ofcancers there Thatrsquos the story that I tellin Living Downstreamrdquo
Through that process she said shefound support for her belief that hercancer had environmental causes ldquoOneof the things that I discovered was thepresence of perchlorethylene which isdry-cleaning solvent in my hometowndrinking-water wells Perchlorethyleneis a probable bladder carcinogen So it
is likely that my own cancer was causedbecause years before I was born whenmachine shops used perchlorethyleneas a solvent to de-grease metal partssomebody dumped a vat of it out back itseeped into the groundwater and then Ias a kid grew up drinking it and paid theprice for it And still am paying the priceBecause I am now 54 and Irsquove lived for 34years as a bladder-cancer patient I live ahighly medicalized liferdquo

Monday October 28 730 pm
Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest
reason to be excited about the Adlerrsquos
booking of Memphis Ms Gloveryou see appeared in a 1997 musical
titled A Legendary Christmas at RockIslandrsquos Circa rsquo21 Dinner PlayhouseI was a Circa rsquo21 employee at thetime And my fellow B ootleggers andI would oftentimes hang with Ms
Glover after performancesThatrsquos right Memphis is the show
that makes me only two degrees ofseparation from the Tony Awards
And my parents thought that theatre
major of mine wouldnrsquot amount toanything

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust

ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty
Of course

final cadence
In a post-concert interview Torke
said he was ldquothrilledrdquo with the
orchestrarsquos rendering With emphatic
conducting gestures Torke said
ldquoMarkrsquos slower tempo made my music
more grand than I originally imaginedrdquo
Smithrsquos interpretation of the new
music and the orchestrarsquos performance
were energized vivid and taut Heavily
doubled with many instrumentalcombinations playing the same musical
figures the orchestra effectively shaped
the thematic repetitions into a slowly
changing musical kaleidoscope
Torkersquos ideas were concise and
intense yet more dazzling than
substantive more sensuous than
profound But they were orchestrated
and developed with great skill toward
the goal of inculcating the audience
with anticipation and it workedA delightful addition to the program
was Wootenrsquos customized narration to
Brittenrsquos instrumental-demonstration
piece A complete redo of Eric Crozierrsquos
original sterile text Wooten not
only editorialized about the nature
of each instrumental family and its
components but named most of the
performers as they played through the
variations He added a spattering of
insider humor as well with commentssuch as ldquoThe brass can be very loud
so they must sit in the backrdquo and
ldquoPercussion are kept in the kitchen
where they can bang on anything in
front of themrdquo these drew chuckles
from the audience and on-stage
reactions with musicians smiling as
they played
It was in this light piece that the
orchestra created its most glorious
moment of the night The brilliantmusical unification of the noble
opening brass theme with the fast
fanciful unison fugue theme at the
end produced a gripping symphonic
experience
And the Brahms was convincingly
dramatic and played with secure
technical command The slow
compound rhythmic figures in the
first and second movements drifted
seamlessly between the orchestra andsoloist Close communication between
Smith and Biss led to quiet whispers
of tone in their reflecting exchanges
The first Masterworks concertof the Quad City Symphonyrsquos99th season was a checkerboard
of strengths and weaknesses Huge
transcendent moments filled the AdlerTheatre in the October 5 concert but
when things got quiet discrepancies
in tone color balance and rhythm ap-peared
Under the direction of Music
Director and Conductor Mark RussellSmith the orchestra explored four
diverse approaches to compositionin reverse chronological order
Commissioned by the Quad City
Symphony the world premiere ofAmerican composer Michael Torkersquos
Oracle opened the program followed
by fellow countryman Aaron JayKernisrsquo Musica Celestis featuring
only the strings The mid-20th
Centuryrsquos Young Personrsquos Guide tothe Orchestra by British composer
Benjamin Britten ndash with humorousnarration by local media personality
Don Wooten ndash completed the first half
After intermission pianist JonathanBiss joined the orchestra for Johannes
Brahmsrsquo Concerto for Piano No 1
The concert was an elegantlydesigned program that included
a variety of contemporary works
balanced by a classic masterpiecebut ndash except for Torke ndash it was not
a good selection of music for thisorchestra In the tutti sections when
all the instruments were played the
mixture of timbre was profuse Yet asthe scoring broke down into smaller
instrumental combinations the
differences in individual colors becamemore problematic The result was tonal
incompatibility both among the same
instruments and between instrumentalfamilies
Torkersquos four-minute opener was a
clear highlight The music in the scoreappeared to be simple ndash quarter and
eighth notes laid out across the pagewith unchanging whole-note pitches
held for several bars But when the
orchestra played them the wholenotes became expanding waves of
sonic clusters that washed over you
The shorter notes became a pulsatingengine propelling the waves higher
and sending them crashing into you
Wave after wave with subtle changesin orchestration and pitch formed the
core gestures of a piece that grew to its

will be surprised to learn that on atechnical level Captain Phillips isclose to breathtaking With The HurtLocker rsquos Barry Ackroyd serving ascinematographer Greengrassrsquo seeminglycaught-on-the-fly (yet surely rigorouslythought-out) compositions arepresented with clarity and immediacy
and Christopher Rousersquos marvelouslysharp editing ndash combined with thepropulsive thrust of composer HenryJackmanrsquos superb score ndash makes yougrateful that breathing is an involuntarybodily function
Sterling technique of the sortdisplayed here would handily makeGreengrassrsquo outing first-rate Itrsquos themoviersquos humans that make it potentiallyunforgettable I was thrilled that the
direction and Rayrsquos script gave Abdiand Musersquos heavily armed companionsndash very well-played by BarkhadAbdirahman Faysal Ahmed and MahatM Ali ndash numerous opportunities fornuance especially in roles that couldhave been stereotypical or at worstactively offensive But I was less thrilledthan flabbergasted that Hanks afterso many going-through-the-motionsperformances in the years since 2000rsquosCast Away could again appear on-
screen this vital and connected andalive with his last 10 minutes hereperhaps marking a new high point inthe career of the two-time Oscar winner(I was literally shaking during his finalscene Not as much as he was butshaking nonetheless) Captain Phillips is
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Wersquove all seen movies that beginspectacularly well but seem to slowly sadlylose their inspiration as they progressleaving you to wonder by their finaleswhat it was that initially had you so jazzedabout them Paul Greengrassrsquo dramaticthriller Captain Phillips Irsquom happy tosay is not one of those movies Actuallyit might be the exact opposite of oneof those movies a work that starts outdistractingly shaky yet gradually morphsinto something utterly spectacular ndash so spectacular in truth that you can barelyremember how off-put you were by thecomparative bummer of its early scenes
Barely remembering however isnrsquotquite the same as forgetting so al low me toaddress Captain Phillipsrsquo first 15 minutes
before commencing with my praiseBased on the real-life 2009 hijacking ofan American cargo ship by four well-armed Somalis director Greengrassrsquo latestopens in the suburban-Vermont homeof the shiprsquos captain Richard Phillips ashe prepares for his il l-fated voyage Weknow by the gentle light homey deacutecor andPhillipsrsquo packing of a family photo that hersquosa man of fundamental decency a notionexacerbated by the casting of Tom Hanks
an actor whorsquos spent the vast majority ofhis screen career with ldquoMan of the Peoplerdquopractically stenciled on his forehead (Foradded telegraphing Catherine ldquoSalt of theEarthrdquo Keener is cast as Phillipsrsquo wife)
But while this quiet introduction wouldalmost certainly be all wersquod require forempathy Greengrass and screenwriterBilly Ray ndash adapting co-authors Phillipsrsquo
and StephenTaltyrsquosnonfictionaccount ofthe tale ndashdonrsquot appearentirelyconvinced
Insteadtheir openeris followeda strangelydidactic ride-to-the-airport scene in which the spouseshave a melancholy chat about their kidsrsquofutures and the uncertain economy andhow ldquothings arenrsquot the way they used to berdquotheir conversation sounding resoundinglylike scripted (ie forced) dialogue And
by the time Phill ips has boarded his shipdemanding safety inspections and drillsthat his union crew discreetly roll theireyes at the manrsquos incorruptible goodnessalready feels oppressive ndash and is evidencedfurther when you notice that Phillips hadthat family photo also printed on his coffeemug (So why pack the picture) We get ityou want to say Phillips plus Hanks equalssaint
Greengrass and Ray do at least hint thatCaptain Phillips will be less cut-and-driedthan its prelude suggests with their earlyinclusion of a sequence set in a depressedSomali outpost Entrenched in theenvironmentrsquos horrific poverty easy accessto artillery and constant looming threatof violence wersquore made to understand theconditions that could lead to an oceanichijacking ndash conditions that can alsobe read in full in the gaunt haunted
murderouslydeterminedface of BarkhadAbdi whoportrays (ina sensationalfilm debut)the missionrsquos
eventual leaderMuse Whilenever overtlysympathizingwith Muse
and the three other Somali pirates whoboard Phillipsrsquo ship the movie refuses to
view its antagonists solely as ldquothe otherrdquowhich is a refreshing break from the normIt wouldrsquove been even more refreshingI thought if th is werenrsquot the very same
tactic employed by Greengrass for his 911thriller United 93 despite the undeniableprofessionalism of its presentation Ispent the moviersquos first 15 minutes feelinglike Greengrass in Captain Phillipswas traveling on perhaps-too-well-trodground
And here is where my complainingends Because from the moment Phillipsbecomes aware of the Somalis (in twoboats initially) trailing his ship thefilm turns into something downrightextraordinary a dramatic procedural thatbecomes an intense cat-and-mouse thrillerand then a beat-the-clock action pic andthen a harrowing rescue tale and finallya heart-wrenching look at the emotionalimpact of real-life heroism
No one familiar with Greengrassrsquohelming of United 93 or the second andthird entries in the Jason Bourne franchise

The starting point of Living Downstream was comparing information from statecancer registries (started in the 1970s) andthe EPArsquos Toxic Release Inventory (startedin 1986) By the 1990s Steingraber saidthere was enough information to seecancer trends You could for example seea correlation between pesticide spraying inCape Cod and cancer incidence there ldquoYoucan actually map the sort of moving shadowof cancer rdquo she said
That sort of linking she said had ldquobeendone in a couple of the highly technicaldocuments [But] no one had tried to doit for the general publicrdquo before LivingDownstream
ldquoI actually returned to myhometown moved into my sisterrsquosbasement and began an intensivestudy of the toxic-waste sites and watercontamination and the air pollution inmy home community and discoveredI was just one data point in a cluster ofcancers there Thatrsquos the story that I tellin Living Downstreamrdquo
Through that process she said shefound support for her belief that hercancer had environmental causes ldquoOneof the things that I discovered was thepresence of perchlorethylene which isdry-cleaning solvent in my hometowndrinking-water wells Perchlorethyleneis a probable bladder carcinogen So it
is likely that my own cancer was causedbecause years before I was born whenmachine shops used perchlorethyleneas a solvent to de-grease metal partssomebody dumped a vat of it out back itseeped into the groundwater and then Ias a kid grew up drinking it and paid theprice for it And still am paying the priceBecause I am now 54 and Irsquove lived for 34years as a bladder-cancer patient I live ahighly medicalized liferdquo

Theatre MemphisAdler Theatre
Monday October 28 730 pm
Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

easy it is to get decent rest you know andstill manage to drink and have a lot of funIt could be very tricky to figure out justhow much we can drink and party andstill show up ndash how we can balance thepartying with actually doing a gigrdquo
Booth meanwhile said ldquoWhat I loveabout this piece ndash and particularly this

informative and fun And then theytweaked it for another yearrdquo during whichtime the former Ghost Brothers musicalbecame Ghost Brothers the staged radiodrama ndash albeit one with gorgeous music
ldquoThe songs are beautifully writtenrdquosaid Greenwood ldquoand they tie right intothe story which continues as the songsunfold So now itrsquos about bringing acertain physicality to those scenes that endin conflict but doing it within the conceit
of a radio play Therersquos not a lot of bigsets Therersquos a bunch of actors on-stagetherersquos a bunch of foley actors on-stageand therersquos a band And the agony andthe ecstasy ndash what little there is of it [theecstasy] ndash basically takes place in theminds of the charactersrdquo

The complicated truth is that if your
boyfriend notices his brotherrsquos eyeballs
bouncing after you like puppies you may
be priming his mate-retention subself by
reminding him that you have other options To
keep him from suspecting yoursquore interested in
other options prime your own mate-retentionsubself Look at cute pictures of the two of you
and run through reasons yoursquore grateful for him
and for your relationship This in turn should
help you refrain from saving your sexiest looks
and moves for when you two are hanging out
with his brother ldquoJust gonna twerk my way to
the bakery case bend over in this short skirt
lick the glass and see if the banana nut muffins
speak to merdquo
The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college
English class We hang out a lot eating
together and playing ping pong and when it
was raining we ducked into a building and
talked rsquotil 2 am No matter how much I flirt
with him including touching him he never
makes a move or touches me beyond once
fist-bumping with me for what seemed like a
long time Should I make a move on him
ndash Confused
A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot
about his intentions A series of fist bumps for
example suggests he wants to have a burping
contest Yoursquove done your part ndash flirting to let
this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos
fast becoming one of your best girlfriends ndash
although probably not the one to go to when
you need to borrow a tampon

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

experience you need to make that happen
What riches do you want to possess when you
are finally wise enough to make enlightened use
of them and how can you boost your eligibility
for those riches Which one of your gloriousdreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill
it but is primed to be dramatically ripened in
the coming weeks If I were you Leo I would
meditate on these questions Answers will be
forthcoming
VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

will be surprised to learn that on atechnical level Captain Phillips isclose to breathtaking With The HurtLocker rsquos Barry Ackroyd serving ascinematographer Greengrassrsquo seeminglycaught-on-the-fly (yet surely rigorouslythought-out) compositions arepresented with clarity and immediacy
and Christopher Rousersquos marvelouslysharp editing ndash combined with thepropulsive thrust of composer HenryJackmanrsquos superb score ndash makes yougrateful that breathing is an involuntarybodily function
Sterling technique of the sortdisplayed here would handily makeGreengrassrsquo outing first-rate Itrsquos themoviersquos humans that make it potentiallyunforgettable I was thrilled that the
direction and Rayrsquos script gave Abdiand Musersquos heavily armed companionsndash very well-played by BarkhadAbdirahman Faysal Ahmed and MahatM Ali ndash numerous opportunities fornuance especially in roles that couldhave been stereotypical or at worstactively offensive But I was less thrilledthan flabbergasted that Hanks afterso many going-through-the-motionsperformances in the years since 2000rsquosCast Away could again appear on-
screen this vital and connected andalive with his last 10 minutes hereperhaps marking a new high point inthe career of the two-time Oscar winner(I was literally shaking during his finalscene Not as much as he was butshaking nonetheless) Captain Phillips is
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Wersquove all seen movies that beginspectacularly well but seem to slowly sadlylose their inspiration as they progressleaving you to wonder by their finaleswhat it was that initially had you so jazzedabout them Paul Greengrassrsquo dramaticthriller Captain Phillips Irsquom happy tosay is not one of those movies Actuallyit might be the exact opposite of oneof those movies a work that starts outdistractingly shaky yet gradually morphsinto something utterly spectacular ndash so spectacular in truth that you can barelyremember how off-put you were by thecomparative bummer of its early scenes
Barely remembering however isnrsquotquite the same as forgetting so al low me toaddress Captain Phillipsrsquo first 15 minutes
before commencing with my praiseBased on the real-life 2009 hijacking ofan American cargo ship by four well-armed Somalis director Greengrassrsquo latestopens in the suburban-Vermont homeof the shiprsquos captain Richard Phillips ashe prepares for his il l-fated voyage Weknow by the gentle light homey deacutecor andPhillipsrsquo packing of a family photo that hersquosa man of fundamental decency a notionexacerbated by the casting of Tom Hanks
an actor whorsquos spent the vast majority ofhis screen career with ldquoMan of the Peoplerdquopractically stenciled on his forehead (Foradded telegraphing Catherine ldquoSalt of theEarthrdquo Keener is cast as Phillipsrsquo wife)
But while this quiet introduction wouldalmost certainly be all wersquod require forempathy Greengrass and screenwriterBilly Ray ndash adapting co-authors Phillipsrsquo
and StephenTaltyrsquosnonfictionaccount ofthe tale ndashdonrsquot appearentirelyconvinced
Insteadtheir openeris followeda strangelydidactic ride-to-the-airport scene in which the spouseshave a melancholy chat about their kidsrsquofutures and the uncertain economy andhow ldquothings arenrsquot the way they used to berdquotheir conversation sounding resoundinglylike scripted (ie forced) dialogue And
by the time Phill ips has boarded his shipdemanding safety inspections and drillsthat his union crew discreetly roll theireyes at the manrsquos incorruptible goodnessalready feels oppressive ndash and is evidencedfurther when you notice that Phillips hadthat family photo also printed on his coffeemug (So why pack the picture) We get ityou want to say Phillips plus Hanks equalssaint
Greengrass and Ray do at least hint thatCaptain Phillips will be less cut-and-driedthan its prelude suggests with their earlyinclusion of a sequence set in a depressedSomali outpost Entrenched in theenvironmentrsquos horrific poverty easy accessto artillery and constant looming threatof violence wersquore made to understand theconditions that could lead to an oceanichijacking ndash conditions that can alsobe read in full in the gaunt haunted
murderouslydeterminedface of BarkhadAbdi whoportrays (ina sensationalfilm debut)the missionrsquos
eventual leaderMuse Whilenever overtlysympathizingwith Muse
and the three other Somali pirates whoboard Phillipsrsquo ship the movie refuses to
view its antagonists solely as ldquothe otherrdquowhich is a refreshing break from the normIt wouldrsquove been even more refreshingI thought if th is werenrsquot the very same
tactic employed by Greengrass for his 911thriller United 93 despite the undeniableprofessionalism of its presentation Ispent the moviersquos first 15 minutes feelinglike Greengrass in Captain Phillipswas traveling on perhaps-too-well-trodground
And here is where my complainingends Because from the moment Phillipsbecomes aware of the Somalis (in twoboats initially) trailing his ship thefilm turns into something downrightextraordinary a dramatic procedural thatbecomes an intense cat-and-mouse thrillerand then a beat-the-clock action pic andthen a harrowing rescue tale and finallya heart-wrenching look at the emotionalimpact of real-life heroism
No one familiar with Greengrassrsquohelming of United 93 or the second andthird entries in the Jason Bourne franchise

The starting point of Living Downstream was comparing information from statecancer registries (started in the 1970s) andthe EPArsquos Toxic Release Inventory (startedin 1986) By the 1990s Steingraber saidthere was enough information to seecancer trends You could for example seea correlation between pesticide spraying inCape Cod and cancer incidence there ldquoYoucan actually map the sort of moving shadowof cancer rdquo she said
That sort of linking she said had ldquobeendone in a couple of the highly technicaldocuments [But] no one had tried to doit for the general publicrdquo before LivingDownstream
ldquoI actually returned to myhometown moved into my sisterrsquosbasement and began an intensivestudy of the toxic-waste sites and watercontamination and the air pollution inmy home community and discoveredI was just one data point in a cluster ofcancers there Thatrsquos the story that I tellin Living Downstreamrdquo
Through that process she said shefound support for her belief that hercancer had environmental causes ldquoOneof the things that I discovered was thepresence of perchlorethylene which isdry-cleaning solvent in my hometowndrinking-water wells Perchlorethyleneis a probable bladder carcinogen So it
is likely that my own cancer was causedbecause years before I was born whenmachine shops used perchlorethyleneas a solvent to de-grease metal partssomebody dumped a vat of it out back itseeped into the groundwater and then Ias a kid grew up drinking it and paid theprice for it And still am paying the priceBecause I am now 54 and Irsquove lived for 34years as a bladder-cancer patient I live ahighly medicalized liferdquo
Itrsquos critical to understand that bythemselves the links Steingraberuncovered demonstrate correlation ratherthan causation ldquoItrsquos not proof of anythingrdquoshe said ldquoItrsquos like a red flag that says lsquoDigherersquo
ldquoLiving Downstream is like a big jigsaw puzzlerdquo she explained If thereappears to be a relationship between atoxic release and a cancer cluster thenitrsquos imperative to see what else is knownFor example researchers interested in thelink between non-Hodgkin lymphomaand pesticides can explore the scientificliterature on malignant lymphoma indogs occupational risks for non-Hodgkinlymphoma and the molecular connection

Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest
reason to be excited about the Adlerrsquos
booking of Memphis Ms Gloveryou see appeared in a 1997 musical
titled A Legendary Christmas at RockIslandrsquos Circa rsquo21 Dinner PlayhouseI was a Circa rsquo21 employee at thetime And my fellow B ootleggers andI would oftentimes hang with Ms
Glover after performancesThatrsquos right Memphis is the show
that makes me only two degrees ofseparation from the Tony Awards
And my parents thought that theatre
major of mine wouldnrsquot amount toanything

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with

Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

potential mates on the horizon prime yourmate-attraction subself which is the one leading
you whenever your boyfriendrsquos bro will be
around to dress for sliding into a booth at the
diner like yoursquoll be sliding down a greased pole
The complicated truth is that if your
boyfriend notices his brotherrsquos eyeballs
bouncing after you like puppies you may
be priming his mate-retention subself by
reminding him that you have other options To
keep him from suspecting yoursquore interested in
other options prime your own mate-retentionsubself Look at cute pictures of the two of you
and run through reasons yoursquore grateful for him
and for your relationship This in turn should
help you refrain from saving your sexiest looks
and moves for when you two are hanging out
with his brother ldquoJust gonna twerk my way to
the bakery case bend over in this short skirt
lick the glass and see if the banana nut muffins

The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college
English class We hang out a lot eating
together and playing ping pong and when it
was raining we ducked into a building and
talked rsquotil 2 am No matter how much I flirt
with him including touching him he never
makes a move or touches me beyond once
fist-bumping with me for what seemed like a
long time Should I make a move on him
ndash Confused
A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot
about his intentions A series of fist bumps for
example suggests he wants to have a burping
contest Yoursquove done your part ndash flirting to let
this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos
fast becoming one of your best girlfriends ndash
although probably not the one to go to when
you need to borrow a tampon

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

experience you need to make that happen
What riches do you want to possess when you
are finally wise enough to make enlightened use
of them and how can you boost your eligibility
for those riches Which one of your gloriousdreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

will be surprised to learn that on atechnical level Captain Phillips isclose to breathtaking With The HurtLocker rsquos Barry Ackroyd serving ascinematographer Greengrassrsquo seeminglycaught-on-the-fly (yet surely rigorouslythought-out) compositions arepresented with clarity and immediacy
and Christopher Rousersquos marvelouslysharp editing ndash combined with thepropulsive thrust of composer HenryJackmanrsquos superb score ndash makes yougrateful that breathing is an involuntarybodily function
Sterling technique of the sortdisplayed here would handily makeGreengrassrsquo outing first-rate Itrsquos themoviersquos humans that make it potentiallyunforgettable I was thrilled that the
direction and Rayrsquos script gave Abdiand Musersquos heavily armed companionsndash very well-played by BarkhadAbdirahman Faysal Ahmed and MahatM Ali ndash numerous opportunities fornuance especially in roles that couldhave been stereotypical or at worstactively offensive But I was less thrilledthan flabbergasted that Hanks afterso many going-through-the-motionsperformances in the years since 2000rsquosCast Away could again appear on-
screen this vital and connected andalive with his last 10 minutes hereperhaps marking a new high point inthe career of the two-time Oscar winner(I was literally shaking during his finalscene Not as much as he was butshaking nonetheless) Captain Phillips is
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Wersquove all seen movies that beginspectacularly well but seem to slowly sadlylose their inspiration as they progressleaving you to wonder by their finaleswhat it was that initially had you so jazzedabout them Paul Greengrassrsquo dramaticthriller Captain Phillips Irsquom happy tosay is not one of those movies Actuallyit might be the exact opposite of oneof those movies a work that starts outdistractingly shaky yet gradually morphsinto something utterly spectacular ndash so spectacular in truth that you can barelyremember how off-put you were by thecomparative bummer of its early scenes
Barely remembering however isnrsquotquite the same as forgetting so al low me toaddress Captain Phillipsrsquo first 15 minutes
before commencing with my praiseBased on the real-life 2009 hijacking ofan American cargo ship by four well-armed Somalis director Greengrassrsquo latestopens in the suburban-Vermont homeof the shiprsquos captain Richard Phillips ashe prepares for his il l-fated voyage Weknow by the gentle light homey deacutecor andPhillipsrsquo packing of a family photo that hersquosa man of fundamental decency a notionexacerbated by the casting of Tom Hanks
an actor whorsquos spent the vast majority ofhis screen career with ldquoMan of the Peoplerdquopractically stenciled on his forehead (Foradded telegraphing Catherine ldquoSalt of theEarthrdquo Keener is cast as Phillipsrsquo wife)
But while this quiet introduction wouldalmost certainly be all wersquod require forempathy Greengrass and screenwriterBilly Ray ndash adapting co-authors Phillipsrsquo
and StephenTaltyrsquosnonfictionaccount ofthe tale ndashdonrsquot appearentirelyconvinced
Insteadtheir openeris followeda strangelydidactic ride-to-the-airport scene in which the spouseshave a melancholy chat about their kidsrsquofutures and the uncertain economy andhow ldquothings arenrsquot the way they used to berdquotheir conversation sounding resoundinglylike scripted (ie forced) dialogue And
by the time Phill ips has boarded his shipdemanding safety inspections and drillsthat his union crew discreetly roll theireyes at the manrsquos incorruptible goodnessalready feels oppressive ndash and is evidencedfurther when you notice that Phillips hadthat family photo also printed on his coffeemug (So why pack the picture) We get ityou want to say Phillips plus Hanks equalssaint
Greengrass and Ray do at least hint thatCaptain Phillips will be less cut-and-driedthan its prelude suggests with their earlyinclusion of a sequence set in a depressedSomali outpost Entrenched in theenvironmentrsquos horrific poverty easy accessto artillery and constant looming threatof violence wersquore made to understand theconditions that could lead to an oceanichijacking ndash conditions that can alsobe read in full in the gaunt haunted
murderouslydeterminedface of BarkhadAbdi whoportrays (ina sensationalfilm debut)the missionrsquos
eventual leaderMuse Whilenever overtlysympathizingwith Muse
and the three other Somali pirates whoboard Phillipsrsquo ship the movie refuses to
view its antagonists solely as ldquothe otherrdquowhich is a refreshing break from the normIt wouldrsquove been even more refreshingI thought if th is werenrsquot the very same
tactic employed by Greengrass for his 911thriller United 93 despite the undeniableprofessionalism of its presentation Ispent the moviersquos first 15 minutes feelinglike Greengrass in Captain Phillipswas traveling on perhaps-too-well-trodground
And here is where my complainingends Because from the moment Phillipsbecomes aware of the Somalis (in twoboats initially) trailing his ship thefilm turns into something downrightextraordinary a dramatic procedural thatbecomes an intense cat-and-mouse thrillerand then a beat-the-clock action pic andthen a harrowing rescue tale and finallya heart-wrenching look at the emotionalimpact of real-life heroism
No one familiar with Greengrassrsquohelming of United 93 or the second andthird entries in the Jason Bourne franchise

guitaristrsquos solo debut Audition Tapesthis past
summer Paste magazine wrote ldquoItrsquos like Morris

went on to call the CDrsquos title track ldquoa simple
slice of alt-country pierdquo with ldquoa scoop of

crustrdquo and the album itself ldquoan all-ages
potluckrdquo and ldquoworth a toastrdquo
Gosh thatrsquos an awful lot of food references
Are we sure itrsquos not the Paste author who
favored that nice Americana-nodding spliff
Regardless from all accounts AuditionTapes sounds like a tasty mix which certainly
wonrsquot come as a surprise to Morrisrsquo many

ldquoI actually returned to myhometown moved into my sisterrsquosbasement and began an intensivestudy of the toxic-waste sites and watercontamination and the air pollution inmy home community and discoveredI was just one data point in a cluster ofcancers there Thatrsquos the story that I tellin Living Downstreamrdquo
Through that process she said shefound support for her belief that hercancer had environmental causes ldquoOneof the things that I discovered was thepresence of perchlorethylene which isdry-cleaning solvent in my hometowndrinking-water wells Perchlorethyleneis a probable bladder carcinogen So it
is likely that my own cancer was causedbecause years before I was born whenmachine shops used perchlorethyleneas a solvent to de-grease metal partssomebody dumped a vat of it out back itseeped into the groundwater and then Ias a kid grew up drinking it and paid theprice for it And still am paying the priceBecause I am now 54 and Irsquove lived for 34years as a bladder-cancer patient I live ahighly medicalized liferdquo
Itrsquos critical to understand that bythemselves the links Steingraberuncovered demonstrate correlation ratherthan causation ldquoItrsquos not proof of anythingrdquoshe said ldquoItrsquos like a red flag that says lsquoDigherersquo
ldquoLiving Downstream is like a big jigsaw puzzlerdquo she explained If thereappears to be a relationship between atoxic release and a cancer cluster thenitrsquos imperative to see what else is knownFor example researchers interested in thelink between non-Hodgkin lymphomaand pesticides can explore the scientificliterature on malignant lymphoma indogs occupational risks for non-Hodgkinlymphoma and the molecular connection
between pesticides and the diseaseldquoYou start to see a picture that emergesrdquoSteingraber said ldquoI advocate for taking aweight-of-the-evidence approach So itrsquosnot about lsquoOkay we have a correlationso therefore letrsquos ban everythingrsquo That

Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest
reason to be excited about the Adlerrsquos
booking of Memphis Ms Gloveryou see appeared in a 1997 musical
titled A Legendary Christmas at RockIslandrsquos Circa rsquo21 Dinner PlayhouseI was a Circa rsquo21 employee at thetime And my fellow B ootleggers andI would oftentimes hang with Ms
Glover after performancesThatrsquos right Memphis is the show
that makes me only two degrees ofseparation from the Tony Awards
And my parents thought that theatre
major of mine wouldnrsquot amount toanything

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests

the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo

went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

informative and fun And then theytweaked it for another yearrdquo during whichtime the former Ghost Brothers musicalbecame Ghost Brothers the staged radiodrama ndash albeit one with gorgeous music
ldquoThe songs are beautifully writtenrdquosaid Greenwood ldquoand they tie right intothe story which continues as the songsunfold So now itrsquos about bringing acertain physicality to those scenes that endin conflict but doing it within the conceit

you whenever your boyfriendrsquos bro will be
around to dress for sliding into a booth at the

The complicated truth is that if your
boyfriend notices his brotherrsquos eyeballs
bouncing after you like puppies you may
be priming his mate-retention subself by
reminding him that you have other options To
keep him from suspecting yoursquore interested in
other options prime your own mate-retentionsubself Look at cute pictures of the two of you
and run through reasons yoursquore grateful for him
and for your relationship This in turn should
help you refrain from saving your sexiest looks

The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college
English class We hang out a lot eating
together and playing ping pong and when it
was raining we ducked into a building and
talked rsquotil 2 am No matter how much I flirt

makes a move or touches me beyond once
fist-bumping with me for what seemed like a
long time Should I make a move on him
ndash Confused
A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot
about his intentions A series of fist bumps for
example suggests he wants to have a burping
contest Yoursquove done your part ndash flirting to let
this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

24 and in reviewing the singersongwriter
guitaristrsquos solo debut Audition Tapesthis past
summer Paste magazine wrote ldquoItrsquos like Morris

Americana-nodding spliffrdquo The review
went on to call the CDrsquos title track ldquoa simple
slice of alt-country pierdquo with ldquoa scoop of
emo melting across the molasses-drenched
crustrdquo and the album itself ldquoan all-ages
potluckrdquo and ldquoworth a toastrdquo
Gosh thatrsquos an awful lot of food references
Are we sure itrsquos not the Paste author who
favored that nice Americana-nodding spliff
Regardless from all accounts AuditionTapes sounds like a tasty mix which certainly
wonrsquot come as a surprise to Morrisrsquo many
fans in and out of the critical community In

Joseph Merrick the Englishmanwhose severe physical deformities

during its Scott Community Collegestagings between October 17 and 26yoursquoll notice that no extensive makeupis used to make the young actor play-
ing him resemble the actual MerrickThe role is traditionally played in fact
by a performer wear-
ing nothing but a whitesheet draped around his
midsectionI was always tempted
to go as Pomerancersquos JohnMerrick to Halloween
parties but couldnrsquot stand the thought
of fellow guests pinching my cheeks andsaying ldquoOooo Baby New Year rdquo
Telling of Merrickrsquos days from reviledcircus-sideshow exhibit to hospitalcase study to favored gentleman of
Englandrsquos upper classes The Elephant Man has been the beneficiary ofextraordinary reviews ever since its1977 debut with the New York Timescalling it ldquoenthralling and luminousrdquo
and the New York Post describing itas ldquowonderful moving and purelytheatricalrdquo And with the show receivingBest Play citations at the Tony Awards
the Drama Desk Awards and the New

is certainly an estimable start to SCommunity Collegersquos theatre seas

Personal Sciencedownwind fromrdquo
The starting point of Living Downstream was comparing information from statecancer registries (started in the 1970s) andthe EPArsquos Toxic Release Inventory (startedin 1986) By the 1990s Steingraber saidthere was enough information to seecancer trends You could for example seea correlation between pesticide spraying inCape Cod and cancer incidence there ldquoYoucan actually map the sort of moving shadowof cancer rdquo she said
That sort of linking she said had ldquobeendone in a couple of the highly technicaldocuments [But] no one had tried to doit for the general publicrdquo before LivingDownstream
ldquoI actually returned to myhometown moved into my sisterrsquosbasement and began an intensivestudy of the toxic-waste sites and watercontamination and the air pollution inmy home community and discoveredI was just one data point in a cluster ofcancers there Thatrsquos the story that I tellin Living Downstreamrdquo
Through that process she said shefound support for her belief that hercancer had environmental causes ldquoOneof the things that I discovered was thepresence of perchlorethylene which isdry-cleaning solvent in my hometowndrinking-water wells Perchlorethyleneis a probable bladder carcinogen So it

Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest
reason to be excited about the Adlerrsquos
booking of Memphis Ms Gloveryou see appeared in a 1997 musical
titled A Legendary Christmas at RockIslandrsquos Circa rsquo21 Dinner PlayhouseI was a Circa rsquo21 employee at thetime And my fellow B ootleggers andI would oftentimes hang with Ms
Glover after performancesThatrsquos right Memphis is the show
that makes me only two degrees ofseparation from the Tony Awards
And my parents thought that theatre
major of mine wouldnrsquot amount toanything

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)

Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

potential mates on the horizon prime yourmate-attraction subself which is the one leading
you whenever your boyfriendrsquos bro will be
around to dress for sliding into a booth at the
diner like yoursquoll be sliding down a greased pole
The complicated truth is that if your
boyfriend notices his brotherrsquos eyeballs
bouncing after you like puppies you may
be priming his mate-retention subself by
reminding him that you have other options To
keep him from suspecting yoursquore interested in
other options prime your own mate-retentionsubself Look at cute pictures of the two of you
and run through reasons yoursquore grateful for him
and for your relationship This in turn should
help you refrain from saving your sexiest looks
and moves for when you two are hanging out

The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college
English class We hang out a lot eating
together and playing ping pong and when it
was raining we ducked into a building and
talked rsquotil 2 am No matter how much I flirt

makes a move or touches me beyond once
fist-bumping with me for what seemed like a
long time Should I make a move on him
ndash Confused
A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot
about his intentions A series of fist bumps for
example suggests he wants to have a burping
contest Yoursquove done your part ndash flirting to let
this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos
fast becoming one of your best girlfriends ndash

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

Monday October 28 730 pm
Davenportrsquos Adler Theatrecontinues its Broadway at the
Adler series on October 28with the area debut of the musicalsmash Memphis and I have a bunchof reasons to be excited about thisparticular engagement
To begin with this Broadwayhit ndash which closed on August 52012 after a sensational run of 1195performances ndash is a stellar blend
of comedy drama romance andthrilling songs and dance numbersTelling the story of a white DJ whoin 1950s Memphis became the firstperson to spin the music of black
and white musicians together onAmerican radio Memphis is looselybased on the experiences of real-lifedisc jockey Dewey Phillips and theshow manages to explore issues of
race prejudice and tolerance whilestill emerging as an electrifying stageentertainment
The show also received terrificnotices from theatre critics The New
York Daily Newsrsquo Joe Dziemianowiczfor example wrote that Memphis
ldquowins you over with its sheerenthusiasmrdquo and added ldquoItrsquos niceto know a new musical can actually
surprise yourdquo The Bloomberg NewsrsquoJohn Simon stated ldquoI guarantee
you a rambunctious goodtime highlighted by
rousing music and singingspectacular dancing anda witty moving storyrdquoMeanwhile describing the
show as ldquoexhilaratingrdquo the Associated
Pressrsquo Michael Kuchwara called Memphis ldquothe very essence of what aBroadway musical should berdquo
Plus this recent trek throughour musical past picked up a lot of
hardware to match its ecstatic ravesNominated for eight Tony Awards Memphis won trophies for BestMusical Best Book Best Original
Score and Best Orchestrations andat the 2010 Drama Desk Awardsprizes went to the showrsquos musicorchestrations and leading actressMontego Glover who was also
nominated for a TonyWhich brings me to the biggest
reason to be excited about the Adlerrsquos
booking of Memphis Ms Gloveryou see appeared in a 1997 musical
titled A Legendary Christmas at RockIslandrsquos Circa rsquo21 Dinner PlayhouseI was a Circa rsquo21 employee at thetime And my fellow B ootleggers andI would oftentimes hang with Ms
Glover after performancesThatrsquos right Memphis is the show
that makes me only two degrees ofseparation from the Tony Awards
And my parents thought that theatre
major of mine wouldnrsquot amount toanything

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

Booth meanwhile said ldquoWhat I loveabout this piece ndash and particularly this

informative and fun And then theytweaked it for another yearrdquo during whichtime the former Ghost Brothers musicalbecame Ghost Brothers the staged radiodrama ndash albeit one with gorgeous music
ldquoThe songs are beautifully writtenrdquosaid Greenwood ldquoand they tie right intothe story which continues as the songsunfold So now itrsquos about bringing acertain physicality to those scenes that endin conflict but doing it within the conceit

you whenever your boyfriendrsquos bro will be

The complicated truth is that if your
boyfriend notices his brotherrsquos eyeballs
bouncing after you like puppies you may
be priming his mate-retention subself by
reminding him that you have other options To
keep him from suspecting yoursquore interested in
other options prime your own mate-retentionsubself Look at cute pictures of the two of you

The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college
English class We hang out a lot eating
together and playing ping pong and when it

fist-bumping with me for what seemed like a
long time Should I make a move on him
ndash Confused
A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot
about his intentions A series of fist bumps for
example suggests he wants to have a burping
contest Yoursquove done your part ndash flirting to let
this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos
fast becoming one of your best girlfriends ndash

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

experience you need to make that happen
What riches do you want to possess when you
are finally wise enough to make enlightened use
of them and how can you boost your eligibility
for those riches Which one of your gloriousdreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill
it but is primed to be dramatically ripened in
the coming weeks If I were you Leo I would
meditate on these questions Answers will be
forthcoming
VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty
Of course

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly

Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

potential mates on the horizon prime yourmate-attraction subself which is the one leading
you whenever your boyfriendrsquos bro will be
around to dress for sliding into a booth at the
diner like yoursquoll be sliding down a greased pole
The complicated truth is that if your
boyfriend notices his brotherrsquos eyeballs
bouncing after you like puppies you may
be priming his mate-retention subself by
reminding him that you have other options To
keep him from suspecting yoursquore interested in
other options prime your own mate-retentionsubself Look at cute pictures of the two of you
and run through reasons yoursquore grateful for him
and for your relationship This in turn should
help you refrain from saving your sexiest looks
and moves for when you two are hanging out

The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college
English class We hang out a lot eating
together and playing ping pong and when it
was raining we ducked into a building and
talked rsquotil 2 am No matter how much I flirt
with him including touching him he never
makes a move or touches me beyond once
fist-bumping with me for what seemed like a
long time Should I make a move on him
ndash Confused
A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot
about his intentions A series of fist bumps for
example suggests he wants to have a burping
contest Yoursquove done your part ndash flirting to let
this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos
fast becoming one of your best girlfriends ndash

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

shersquos stranded in space as itrsquos clear that theastronaut is talking to herself as a way ofmaintaining her sanity But unfortunatelyshersquos also given a tortured backstory
involving a dead child that drips withforced pathos ndash leading composer StevenPricersquos otherwise topnotch score toalso drip with forced pathos ndash and thatcomes back in analogy-laden form tohaunt the moviersquos final scenes DirectorCuaroacuten makes his points visually butthen he and Jonaacutes keep underlining themwith unnecessary prose that restatesthe obvious and dulls the overall effectPlus gorgeous though Lubezkirsquos work
continually is Gravity rsquos underlyingtheme of spiritual rebirth is presentedwith too heavy a hand You can findyourself moved during the filmrsquos climacticmoments (God knows I was) and stillleave feeling unduly manipulated by theovertly iconic imagery to say nothing ofthe verbalized sentiment and thunderousorchestral strains on the soundtrack
And then therersquos the Clooney problemOn an intellectual level I get the casting
Kowalski has to be the strong masculinecharming flippant presence that offsetsStonersquos anxiousness ndash the very definitionof a ldquoGeorge Clooney typerdquo But withClooney himself in the role making self-amused theoretically endearing referencesto his own handsomeness and devil-may-care insouciance Kowalski comesdangerously close to being a caricature ofGeorge Clooney The actor is just fine inhis role here and you can hardly fault hisline readings which are delivered with
just the right tone of measured soothingcalm But Clooney is also so recognizablyhim ndash at least the ldquohimrdquo based on the manrsquoswell-cultivated public persona ndash that hispresence almost canrsquot help but pull you outof the movie more times than you wantit to (Although I enjoyed the in-jokethe buddy with whom I saw the moviewas also bothered by the unseen voice ofldquoHoustonrdquo once he recognized the familiarcadences of Apollo 13rsquos Ed Harris)
But enough griping See Gravity Seeit as soon as you can and marvel inCuaraacutenrsquos sublime direction and Bullockrsquosachingly emotional performance and thesort of technical prowess and savvy thatmay now currently be without peer Themovie is flawed That couldnrsquot possiblymatter less

absolutely worth a salute Though he likelywonrsquot get one in this intensely competitiveyear Hanks is worth a gold-plated one
GRAVITY Alfonso Cuaroacutenrsquos space thriller Gravity
opened on October 4 and if you havenrsquotseen it yet you really should Like nowIrsquom serious Step away from the paperand get in line at the cineplex ndash or if thecineplex isnrsquot currently open for businessdrive over there and wait Donrsquot be one ofthose people who procrastinates until themovie hits home video and then whinesabout missing it on its initial release
Because Irsquom telling you Yoursquore gonnawant to catch Cuaroacutenrsquos latest on the bigscreen and preferably on the biggestscreen possible with your 3D glasses firmlyin place No kidding folks This thing isgoing to blow your mind
I thought it best to open with that kindof breathless rave partly because I meanit but mostly because it might provenecessary considering that itrsquos going tobe much easier for me to express whatrsquos
wrong with the movie than whatrsquos rightwith it Even though Gravity is in somany respects miraculous ndash thrillingand touching and at all times technicallyextraordinary ndash the filmrsquos weaknesses(and theyrsquore not minor ones) are prettyapparent and not tough to verbalize Itrsquosthe moviersquos strengths that even days after
viewing Cuaroacutenrsquos achievement Irsquom havingtrouble putting into words How do youformulate thoughtful responses when youstill canrsquot wrap your mind around whatyoursquove seen
Narrative-wise the most basic ofsetups is all yoursquore gonna get from meand given the plethora of wonderfullyunsettling Gravity trailers unleashed overthe past few months even that may bemore than you need We open in outerspace in from all accounts the presentday and soon land on two figures makingexterior repairs to their spacecraftbefore making their way back to Earth
One of them George Clooneyrsquos MattKowalski is a veteran space traveler withan easygoing manner and authoritativeconfidence The other Sandra BullockrsquosRyan Stone is a skilled engineer on herfirst mission Yet after a few minutes ofmostly lightweight banter and stunning vistas ndash with Kowalski encouragingStone to relax and take in the Godrsquos-eyebeauty of their surroundings ndash disasterstrikes A neighboring Russian satellite
as Houstonrsquos mission control informsthem has exploded and is hurling debrison an exact trajectory toward Kowalskirsquosand Stonersquos spacecraft and there isnrsquottime enough for a successful escape
The debris hits The ship is in ruinsThe tether connecting the astronautsto their vessel and to one another issevered along with Kowalskirsquos and Stonersquos
contact with Houston And there theyare ndash alone adrift and as far as rescueis concerned in a potentially hopelesssituation
That gets you to about minute 15 ofGravity rsquos beyond-speedy 90 and even ifthe film ended right there it would behard to imagine anyone demanding theirmoney back Movies of course havetaken us to space time and time againBut no one before Cuaroacuten not even
Kubrick has so thoroughly presentedus with the gut-level approximation ofactually being there Part of the reasonitrsquos so difficult to explain the moviersquos
visual grandeur is because we havenothing in terms of cinematic forebearsto compare it to With the Earth incinematographer Emmanuel Lubezkirsquosbrilliantly fluid tracking shots alternately
viewed from above be low and to all sidesof our space travelers you truly feel the
sensation of a zero-gravity environmenthere itrsquos only the pressure of your feeton the cineplex floor that reminds youthat you arenrsquot in fact dangling mid-air occasionally upside-down AndCuaroacuten and Lubezki even manage topull you into the experience furtherwith seemingly impossible shots that(in what yoursquod swear were unbrokentakes) lead you from outside Stonersquosspacesuit to her helmetrsquos interior allowingyou a first-person account of eventsthatrsquos simultaneously nightmarish andexhilarating Adding the moviersquos visualand sound effects (including the exquisitesilence) which have to rank with thegreatest Irsquove ever encountered in a featurefilm the technique on display in Gravityis utterly jaw-dropping You could askldquoHow did they do thatrdquo all throughoutthe film if you werenrsquot too engrossedin the proceedings to remember thequestion and if you werenrsquot afraid of the
filmrsquos magic being dispelled by someoneactually telling you how they did that
Yet whi le Gravity will for many of itsadmirers no doubt be the sort of space-themed religious experience that 2001
A Space Odyssey was for members of itsgeneration ndash like a sci-fi blockbuster asimagined by Terrence Malick ndash I canrsquotquite shake a few needling concernsTake for instance the dialogue writtenby co-screenwriters Cuaroacuten and his son
Jonaacutes Cuaroacuten Itrsquos kind of awful Okay notawful so much as deathly over-explicitI have no issue with the playful reparteebetween our leads early in the picture orwith the nattering of Bullockrsquos Stone when

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly

Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

potential mates on the horizon prime yourmate-attraction subself which is the one leading
you whenever your boyfriendrsquos bro will be
around to dress for sliding into a booth at the
diner like yoursquoll be sliding down a greased pole
The complicated truth is that if your
boyfriend notices his brotherrsquos eyeballs
bouncing after you like puppies you may
be priming his mate-retention subself by
reminding him that you have other options To
keep him from suspecting yoursquore interested in
other options prime your own mate-retentionsubself Look at cute pictures of the two of you
and run through reasons yoursquore grateful for him
and for your relationship This in turn should
help you refrain from saving your sexiest looks
and moves for when you two are hanging out

The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college
English class We hang out a lot eating
together and playing ping pong and when it
was raining we ducked into a building and
talked rsquotil 2 am No matter how much I flirt
with him including touching him he never
makes a move or touches me beyond once
fist-bumping with me for what seemed like a
long time Should I make a move on him
ndash Confused
A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot
about his intentions A series of fist bumps for
example suggests he wants to have a burping
contest Yoursquove done your part ndash flirting to let
this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos
fast becoming one of your best girlfriends ndash

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

The Demon Between Your Earssaid ldquolsquoTheatre works like this so pleaseconformrsquo Can you imagine what we would
loseldquoNo ndash this has been a process of leaning
into the utterly unique DNA of these threeguys in this project And this concert tourfeels like wersquove gotten closer than ever towhat that wants to feel l ikerdquo
Even Boothrsquos description of the currentGhost Brothers as a ldquoconcert tourrdquo suggests
just how much has changed since the firstAtlanta preview on April 4 2012
While the New York Times in reviewing
the Alliance Theatre production praisedldquothe witty literate cackle of Mr Kingrdquo andadmitted that ldquothe show does resist clicheacuterdquo italso wrote ldquoThis sprawling show stitchestogether dynamic elements that neversatisfyingly cohererdquo But Booth suggeststhat this issue has been solved through thesimpler and more evocative telling of thistale in radio-drama format
ldquoI was delighted that wersquod finally madethe piece walk and talkrdquo said Ghost Brothersrsquo
director of its Atlanta run ldquoand was ready toroll up my sleeves and figure out how nextto refine and deliver it What I think willappeal to audiences of this version is thatrather than doing all the work for you with
elaborate special effects and staging wersquoreasking you to draw up around the storyand do what we all do with a great StephenKing story ndash imagine the best the worst themost wild ride we can I love the role theaudiencersquos imagination is asked to play inthis versionrdquo
ldquoWell Hell Yeahrdquo Among the characters added to Kingrsquos
interpretation of Mellencamprsquos true-crime story is that of Joe McCandless
the anguished father of Ghost Brothersrsquowarring (and living) siblings and a manroutinely visited by ghosts of his own Therole said Greenwood promised to be arich one as Joe ldquowas carrying the weightof a secret that he swallowed and keptdown his entire life since he was a childand it altered his ability to navigate in thereal worldrdquo
Greenwood however said that hisinitial interest in participating in theproject stemmed from a pretty basicinstinct ldquoI got a call from my agent andmy agent said lsquoLook theyrsquore doing thisthing with John Mellencamp and StephenKing Should we submit yoursquo And I
went lsquoWell hell yeahrsquordquoAlthough Greenwood has been a near-
constant presence in films and televisionsince the mid-1990s with more than 60credits since 2000 alone the Canadianactor as he said is ldquono stranger to theatreThatrsquos how I started out I worked allacross Canada I did a bunch of musicalsand did some touring stuff and a lot ofnew plays ndash you know just lots of stuff for10 years before moving to LArdquo
Yet while he has still made occasionalreturns to the stage over the years ndash
such as his limited engagement in ARGurneyrsquos Love Letters which Greenwoodperformed this past spring for BritishColumbiarsquos Blue Bridge Repertory Theatrendash he felt the chance to tour with GhostBrothers was definitely worth taking a six-week hiatus from Hollywood
(And he admitted from Hollywoodpaychecks ldquoIrsquom taking a break frommaking moneyrdquo he said with a laughldquoWhich is fine But if yoursquove got a
mortgage you know yoursquove got to dolethis kind of thing out sparinglyrdquo)
ldquoStephenrsquos peopled this with a bunchof characters that have a lot of damagerdquosaid Greenwood of the performance
THEATRE
opportunities provided by Ghost BrothersldquoAnd you know John has a particularly
strong spare voice also in terms of hiswriting He tells bald truths And thisstory is as much about the corrosive powerof secrets as it is the redemptive power oftruthrdquo
Regarding his procurement of the rolewhich boasts haunting bluegrass-rocksolos in numbers such as ldquoHow ManyDaysrdquo and ldquoWhat Kind of Man AmIrdquo Greenwood said ldquoI fool around onthe guitar and write a bit of music and
so when they asked me if I wanted toparticipate last year part of what I had todo was send John a couple of songs AndI guess they thought lsquoOkay well the guycan carry a tune We wonrsquot give him toomuch heavy lifting but rsquordquo
Booth however sees it differentlyldquoBruce Greenwood is obscenely talentedrdquoshe wrote ldquoItrsquos really kind of unfairFantastic actor who turns out to have thisbluesy killer moving voice and a kind of
utterly vulnerable presence on-stage thatmakes you want to hold your breathrdquo
Upon landing the role of JoeGreenwood was first asked to join Boothand the showrsquos creators in New York

in the ldquoAdagiordquo The finale ldquoRondordquo
demonstrated Bissrsquo ability to prioritizethe weight of tone between the melodyand harmony through complexrhythmic accompaniment The stringfugue near the end was impressive inits precision and balanced interplaywhen the winds joined one by one
But the weaknesses in theperformance revealed fundamentalproblems with the ensemble in size andtone quality Fifty-five to 65 players
represent a suitable string section foran organization performing the bigpieces in the standard repertoire TheQuad City Symphonyrsquos section of 44was outgunned in producing the heftythick dark sound needed for Brahmsagainst the fully staffed winds
A more-complex problem wasintonation in Kernisrsquo Musica Celestisadapted from a string quartet forthe whole string section In a piece
thatrsquos arguably harmonically dense tobegin with the string section couldnot make the tone clusters clear whilesearching for agreement in pitch Evenin the edgy intense climatic moments
ndash violins at the bridge and cellos in
thumb position at the knees ndash the tonebecame unmusically shrill becauseof frail intonation In the animatedsection the overlapping imitationbetween each group wasnrsquot fluid andincreasingly intense but was insteadpulsating with irregular entrancesand sudden changes in dynamicsThe string section sounded whollyuncomfortable with this music
While discrepancies in the tone
color of the winds were hiddenin the fuller musical sections andespecially in Torkersquos extensive use ofunison doubling softness revealedincongruence In Brittenrsquos Guide ndash apiece that intentionally featureswinds in pairs trios and quartets ndashthe disparity in timbre within eachinstrumental family watered down theharmonic richness warmth and blendThe tone of some principal players
for example was different from thesecond-chair players ndash sometimesbrighter sometimes mellower ndash andresulted in a perception of imbalanceas well After the intermission these
problems re-emerged in Brahms with
its extensive interplay between thepianist and solo winds
Moments of rhythmic instabilitywere rare but when Brittenrsquos cleverfugue pulled together all of theorchestral instruments from thetop to the bottom of the score thesyncopation threw some playersoff rhythmically creating problemsfor subsequent entrances of fugalcounterpoint and transitional music
The concert was a step forwardfor the symphony in thoughtfullycombining contemporary music withstandard repertoire and it had manyhighs in execution Unfortunately theperformance was a step backward fromthe intonation and timbre continuitythat seemed to be improving over thetwo seasons Irsquove been reviewing thesymphony

admitted that he was looking forward tothe experience ldquoWersquoll have to see just how
easy it is to get decent rest you know andstill manage to drink and have a lot of funIt could be very tricky to figure out justhow much we can drink and party andstill show up ndash how we can balance thepartying with actually doing a gigrdquo
Booth meanwhile said ldquoWhat I loveabout this piece ndash and particularly this
version of its staging ndash is that you simplycanrsquot compare it to anything else Therersquosno lsquobeen there seen thatrsquo going on
ldquoAnd I think thatrsquos what we all wantthese days isnrsquot it Something that truly isnew That truly doesnrsquot fall into some neatcategory I think itrsquos a ride the audiencehas never been on before and thatrsquos whatwill continue to give it great liferdquo

where the actor said ldquowe workshoppedit for 10 days or so which was really
informative and fun And then theytweaked it for another yearrdquo during whichtime the former Ghost Brothers musicalbecame Ghost Brothers the staged radiodrama ndash albeit one with gorgeous music
ldquoThe songs are beautifully writtenrdquosaid Greenwood ldquoand they tie right intothe story which continues as the songsunfold So now itrsquos about bringing acertain physicality to those scenes that endin conflict but doing it within the conceit
of a radio play Therersquos not a lot of bigsets Therersquos a bunch of actors on-stagetherersquos a bunch of foley actors on-stageand therersquos a band And the agony andthe ecstasy ndash what little there is of it [theecstasy] ndash basically takes place in theminds of the charactersrdquo
Consequently the new Ghost Brothersof Darkland County does indeed suggestmore of a concert than a musical for thestage which Greenwood said extends to
its participantsrsquo traveling schedule ldquoWersquoredoing the whole rock-and-roll-style thingwhere you do the show and then you geton a busrdquo

The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college
English class We hang out a lot eating
together and playing ping pong and when it
was raining we ducked into a building and
talked rsquotil 2 am No matter how much I flirt
with him including touching him he never
makes a move or touches me beyond once
fist-bumping with me for what seemed like a
long time Should I make a move on him
ndash Confused
A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot
about his intentions A series of fist bumps for
example suggests he wants to have a burping
contest Yoursquove done your part ndash flirting to let
this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos
fast becoming one of your best girlfriends ndash
although probably not the one to go to when
you need to borrow a tampon

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

experience you need to make that happen
What riches do you want to possess when you
are finally wise enough to make enlightened use
of them and how can you boost your eligibility
for those riches Which one of your gloriousdreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill
it but is primed to be dramatically ripened in
the coming weeks If I were you Leo I would
meditate on these questions Answers will be
forthcoming
VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

potential mates on the horizon prime yourmate-attraction subself which is the one leading
you whenever your boyfriendrsquos bro will be
around to dress for sliding into a booth at the
diner like yoursquoll be sliding down a greased pole
The complicated truth is that if your
boyfriend notices his brotherrsquos eyeballs
bouncing after you like puppies you may
be priming his mate-retention subself by
reminding him that you have other options To
keep him from suspecting yoursquore interested in
other options prime your own mate-retentionsubself Look at cute pictures of the two of you
and run through reasons yoursquore grateful for him
and for your relationship This in turn should
help you refrain from saving your sexiest looks
and moves for when you two are hanging out
with his brother ldquoJust gonna twerk my way to
the bakery case bend over in this short skirt
lick the glass and see if the banana nut muffins
speak to merdquo
The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college
English class We hang out a lot eating
together and playing ping pong and when it
was raining we ducked into a building and
talked rsquotil 2 am No matter how much I flirt
with him including touching him he never
makes a move or touches me beyond once
fist-bumping with me for what seemed like a
long time Should I make a move on him
ndash Confused
A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot
about his intentions A series of fist bumps for
example suggests he wants to have a burping
contest Yoursquove done your part ndash flirting to let
this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos
fast becoming one of your best girlfriends ndash
although probably not the one to go to when
you need to borrow a tampon

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

experience you need to make that happen
What riches do you want to possess when you
are finally wise enough to make enlightened use
of them and how can you boost your eligibility

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

potential mates on the horizon prime yourmate-attraction subself which is the one leading
you whenever your boyfriendrsquos bro will be
around to dress for sliding into a booth at the
diner like yoursquoll be sliding down a greased pole
The complicated truth is that if your
boyfriend notices his brotherrsquos eyeballs
bouncing after you like puppies you may
be priming his mate-retention subself by
reminding him that you have other options To
keep him from suspecting yoursquore interested in
other options prime your own mate-retentionsubself Look at cute pictures of the two of you
and run through reasons yoursquore grateful for him
and for your relationship This in turn should
help you refrain from saving your sexiest looks
and moves for when you two are hanging out
with his brother ldquoJust gonna twerk my way to
the bakery case bend over in this short skirt
lick the glass and see if the banana nut muffins
speak to merdquo
The Blocked StallionI really like this guy from my college
English class We hang out a lot eating
together and playing ping pong and when it
was raining we ducked into a building and
talked rsquotil 2 am No matter how much I flirt
with him including touching him he never
makes a move or touches me beyond once
fist-bumping with me for what seemed like a
long time Should I make a move on him
ndash Confused
A manrsquos body language can tell a woman a lot
about his intentions A series of fist bumps for
example suggests he wants to have a burping
contest Yoursquove done your part ndash flirting to let
this guy know yoursquore interested ndash which was his
cue to do his part and ask you out There are
four possible reasons he hasnrsquot (1) Hersquos gay (2)
Hersquos got a girlfriend (3) Hersquos just not interested
(4) Hersquos a huge wimp Even if you suspect hersquos
a wimp whorsquos crushing on you do you really
want to reward this behavior by manning upand doing the asking If a man canrsquot endure a
possible 10 seconds of rejection is he the man
you want with you when danger rears its head
(Yoursquoll be facing it head-on hersquoll be hiding
behind a bush) Look elsewhere for a boyfriend
and look to this guy for what hersquos capable of
providing friendship In fact it seems hersquos
fast becoming one of your best girlfriends ndash
although probably not the one to go to when
you need to borrow a tampon

Tease for TwoIrsquom dating a wonderful guy Irsquom totally
in love with Hersquos always looked up to his
older brother a very attractive guy whorsquos a
real ladyrsquos man Irsquove found myself behaving
in some unsettling ways when we hang out
with his brother such as fixing myself up
beforehand like Irsquove got a big date I realized
that I want his brother to want me I get a
very naughty feeling when he looks me up
and down and I love it To be clear I donrsquot
want him in any real or threatening way and
I donrsquot want to jeopardize my relationship
with my boyfriend Perhaps Irsquom motivated by
knowing that my boyfriend has never been
envied by his brother and now I get to make
that happen
ndash Puzzled
Like many good people yoursquore inspired to
do volunteer work to bolster the less fortunate
such as the boy who grew up deprived of being
envied by his older brother Interestingly otherswho do charitable work like Salvation Army
Santas somehow manage to accomplish it
without first re-engineering their cleavage to
graze their jawline
In addition to your push-up
humanitarianism and the ensuing uplift for
your ego (and possibly your boyfriendrsquos too)
another explanation for your behavior is that
you arenrsquot just yourself yoursquore also what two
researchers call your ldquosubselvesrdquo Itrsquos long been
believed that we each have one consistent ldquoselfrdquowith stable preferences leading us to make
consistent choices from situation to situation
That actually isnrsquot the case Psychologists
Douglas Kenrick and Vladas Griskevicius
authors of The Rational Animal How Evolution
Made Us Smarter Than We Think find evidence
for our having seven ldquosubselvesrdquo driving our
choices each corresponding to a different
evolutionary challenge our ancestors faced
These challenges include (1) evading physical
harm (2) avoiding disease (3) making friends(4) gaining status (5) caring for family (6)
attracting a mate and (7) keeping that mate
Although we like to think of ourselves as
driven by rational thought environmental
triggers can prime a particular subself to grab
the controls For example seeing a scary movie
or a crime report primes our harm-evading
subself to take charge amping up our loss
aversion (Good time to sell us a Rottweiler and
the worldrsquos first suburban moat) And although
yoursquore in a happy relationship real or imagined

experience you need to make that happen
What riches do you want to possess when you
are finally wise enough to make enlightened use
of them and how can you boost your eligibility
for those riches Which one of your gloriousdreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill
it but is primed to be dramatically ripened in
the coming weeks If I were you Leo I would
meditate on these questions Answers will be
forthcoming
VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty

experience you need to make that happen
What riches do you want to possess when you
are finally wise enough to make enlightened use
of them and how can you boost your eligibility
for those riches Which one of your gloriousdreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill
it but is primed to be dramatically ripened in
the coming weeks If I were you Leo I would
meditate on these questions Answers will be
forthcoming
VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
At an elementary-school festival some
years ago I performed the role of the
Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland One of my
tasks was to ask kids to make a wish whereupon
I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust
Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole
business They questioned the proposition that
the fairy dust would make their wishes come
true A few were so suspicious that they walked
away without making a wish or accepting the
fairy dust Yet every single one of those distrustful
kids came back later to tell me they had changed
their minds and every single one asked me to
bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust
They are your role models Virgo Like them you
should return to the scene of your doubts anddemand extra fairy dust
LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
ldquoThe door to the invisible must be
visiblerdquo wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene
Daumal This describes an opportunity that is
on the verge of becoming available to you The
opportunity is still invisible simply because it has
no precedents in your life you canrsquot imagine what
it is But just recently a door to that unknown
realm has become visible to you I suggest you
open it even though you have almost no ideawhatrsquos on the other side
SCORPIO (October 23-November21) In Tim Burtonrsquos film Alice in
Wonderland Alice asks the White
Rabbit ldquoHow long is foreverrdquo The talking rabbit
replies ldquoSometimes just one secondrdquo Thatrsquos an
important piece of information for you to keep in
mind Scorpio It implies that ldquoforeverrdquo may not
necessarily in all cases last until the universe dies
out five billion years from now ldquoForeverrdquo might
actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutesor a month or a year or who knows So how does
this apply to your l ife right now Well a situation
you assumed was permanent could ultimately
change ndash perhaps much faster than you have
imagined An apparently everlasting decree or
perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift as if
by magic
SAGITTARIUS (November22-December 21) ldquoI need a little
language such as lovers userdquo wrote
Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves ldquoIneed no words Nothing neat I need a howl
a cryrdquo If Irsquom reading the astrological omens
correctly Sagittarius Woolf is speaking for you
right now You should be willing to get guttural

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is
an indelicate oracle If yoursquore offended
by the mention of bodily functions
in a prophetic context you should stop reading
now Still here Okay I was walking through my
neighborhood when I spied an older woman
standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next
to a bush The dog was in discomfort squatting
and shivering but unable to relieve himself ldquoHersquos
having trouble getting his business donerdquo his
owner confided in me ldquoHersquos been struggling
for 10 minutesrdquo I felt a rush of sympathy for the
distressed creature With a flourish of my hand
I said ldquoMore power to you little one May you
purge your burdenrdquo The dog instantly defecated
Shrieking her approval the woman exclaimedldquoItrsquos like you waved a magic wandrdquo Now I am
invoking my wizardry in your behalf Aries
although in a less literal way More power to you
May you purge your psychological burden
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ldquoYou wonrsquot
do it at the right timerdquo warns writer Kate
Moller ldquoYoursquoll be late Yoursquoll be early
Yoursquoll get re-routed Yoursquoll get delayed Yoursquoll
change your mind Yoursquoll change your heart
Itrsquos not going to turn out the way you thought
it wouldrdquo And yet Moller concludes ndash are youready for the punchline ndash ldquoit will be betterrdquo In
describing your future Taurus I couldnrsquot have
said it better myself Fate may be comical in the
way it plays with your expectations and plans
but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the
outcome
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In the
coming weeks you Geminis could
be skillful and even spectacular liars
You will have the potential to deceive more
people bend more truths and even fool yourselfbetter than anyone else On the other hand you
will also have the knack to channel this same
slipperiness in a different direction You could tell
imaginative stories that rouse people from their
ruts You might explore the positive aspects of
Kurt Vonnegutrsquos theory that we tend to become
what we pretend to be Or you could simply
be so creative and playful and improvisational
in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of
inspirational fun Which way will you go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Irsquom allin favor of you indulging your instinct
for self-protection As a Cancerian
myself I understand that one of the ways you
take good care of yourself is by making sure
that you feel reasonably safe Having said that
I also want to remind you that your mental and
emotional health requires you to leave your
comfort zone on a regular basis Now is one of
those times The call to adventure will arrive
soon If you make yourself ready and eager for
changes the changes that come will kick your ass
in mostly educational and pleasurable ways
LEO (July 23-August 22) Who exactly
do you want to be when you grow up
and what is the single most important
and primal to trust the teachings of silence
and the crazy wisdom of your body to exult
in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the
dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow Are
you brave enough to love what canrsquot be put into
words
CAPRICORN (December 22-January19) ldquoI get bored with the idea of
becoming a better listenerrdquo writes
business blogger Penelope Trunk ldquoWhy would
I do that when interrupting people is so much
fasterrdquo If your main goal is to impose your will
on people and get things over with as soon as
possible Capricorn by all means follow Trunkrsquos
advice this week But if you have other goals ndashlike building consensus finding out important
information you donrsquot know yet and winning
help from people who feel affection for you ndash I
suggest that you find out how to have maximum
fun by being an excellent listener
AQUARIUS (January 20-February18) The last time meteorologists
officially added a new type of cloud
formation to the International Cloud Atlas was
1951 But theyrsquore considering another one now
Itrsquos called ldquoasperatusrdquo which is derived fromthe Latin term undulatus asperatus meaning
ldquoturbulent undulationrdquo According to the Cloud
Appreciation Society it resembles ldquothe surface
of a choppy sea from belowrdquo But although it
looks rough and agitated it almost never brings
a storm Letrsquos make asperatus your mascot for
the next few weeks Aquarius I suspect that you
too will soon discover something new under the
sun It may at first look turbulent but I bet it will
mostly just be interesting
PISCES (February 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that
might generate intimate miracles Yes
Should you dream up extravagant proposals and
schedule midnight rendezvous By all means
Should you pick up where your fantasies left off
the last time you got too timid to explore further
Naturally Should you find out what ldquoas raw as
the law allowsrdquo actually means I encourage you
Should you question taboos that are no longer
relevant Most assuredly Should you burn
away the rotting pain with a show of liberated
strength Beyond a doubt Should you tap intothe open secret at the core of your wild beauty
Of course
