The rest of the fest boasts narrative and documentary features and shorts by and about the Arab world, with films from the US, Egypt, Yemen, Morocco, Palestine, Lebanon, France, and more. It continues through Oct. 21 at venues in San Francisco, Berkeley, San Jose, and even SoCal; visit www. arabfilmfestival.org for complete details. JAZZ CLUB UNDER FIRE The group of teachers who own and operate Savanna Jazz Club at 2937 Mission are running into trouble with their bank and could lose the place. The group was in the midst of working out a loan modification with Sonoma National Bank when Sterling Bank of Spokane, Wash. acquired its assets. "Sterling forced a strategic default by refusing to take our mortgage payments unless we paid the totality of our property tax due to the City and County of San Francisco," says Pascal Bokar, one of the owners, adding, "We have substantial equity in the building and the bank refuses to let us access it and it is now trying to take the property." Supervisor David Campos is working with the club owners to try to work something out. www.savannajazz.com.

But vaginas won't just be analyzed; the Commonwealth Club is giving free tickets to anyone who comes dressed as vaginas, a proud tradition after CODEPINK descended on the Republican National Convention in fuzzy pink and red costume masterpieces. CHEAP SHOTS Michael Breyer, candidate for state Assembly from the 19th (West Side) district, is getting a little desperate. Nobody's heard of him, he's never been elected to anything -- and he's way behind in the polls. So he's gone on the attack against the frontrunner, Assessor Phil Ting -- but Ting has never done anything bad that you can attack him for. The result: A lame mailer claiming Ting was "flushing money" down the toilet when he accepted public financing for the 2011 mayor's race. See, he took public money and didn't get a lot of votes. Nice, Mr. Breyer. Every other candidate in the race except Ed Lee also took public money and lost. That's how public financing works. If this is the best Breyer's got, he shouldn't be packing for Sacto. BAND BEEF Permanent Collection (jokingly?) called out fellow Bay Area locals Terry Malts in an interview with ION Magazine last week. Jason Hendardy says "[Phil Benson] plays in this horrible band called Terry Malts. He threw a beer can right in my face," and another member, Megan Dabkowski, adds, "I hate Terry Malts," before the interviewer mentions that Permanent Collection had recently opened for Terry Malts, and the jig was somewhat up. Then Terry Malts continued the faux-fight with a Facebook post: "Someone better tell Jason and Megan from Permanent Collection to watch their backs!!!! Band beef!!!" ionmagazine.ca | PHOTO BY MIRISSA NEFF WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY "BUTT CHUGGING" IN A HEADLINE Down (and we do mean down) at the University of Tennessee, members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity have been accused of a practice called "butt chugging," which involves imbibing wine through the anal orifice. It's also known as the Tour de Franzia, and is a bit dangerous; one Alexander P. Broughton wound up hospitalized. In a press conference Oct. 3, Broughton's lawyer announced that no such butt chugging had occurred (oh, and by the way, the legal eagle announced, Broughton "denies each and every allegation that he is a gay man." No duh -- Franzia? ) Still, it raises a vintage issue for us NoCal oenophiles -- just what wine would your butt butt chug if your butt did butt chug wine? Well, we highly recommend Rose Cheeks.

Naked men wandering around the Castro isn't one of them. We understand the pressure that Sup. Scott Wiener is getting from some residents, but this hardly rises to the level that requires a new law -- and certainly not a citywide ban on nudity. The central concern seems to be a handful of mostly older men, who've taken to hanging out in Jane Warner Plaza without any clothes on. It's not the Folsom Street Fair by any means -- the guys aren't having sex, or masturbating, or, really, doing anything sexual at all. They're just ... naked. The opponents of the ban offer all kinds of reasons why public nudity ought not be outlawed, particularly in the Castro. Activist Andy Blue notes that many of the arguments against the naked guys were once applied to gay men showing public affection. "It's one group literally shoving itself in everyone else's faces with greater and greater demands which infringe on the right of other people to be comfortable in public spaces," he explained in a comment on our blog. "This is exactly what a homophobe would say about homosexuals holding hands or kissing in public." The nude-is-natural crowd is also up in arms, arguing that the world would be a better place if we all were naked and free. Others say, more credibly, that there are far more pressing problems -- homelessness, meth addiction, an alarming rate of unemployment among trans people -- and that focusing on nudity is a distraction.

No on B advocates recognize that bond money cannot be spent to alleviate our parks' most basic needs: more gardeners, custodians, recreation, and maintenance staff. This money can only fund capital projects, not operations and maintenance. Consistent maintenance would have prevented deterioration that now requires rebuilding.

Why have so many reliable parks supporters declared their opposition to a bond act that would bring sorely needed improvements to city parks? Because the price of Yes is too high. This bond would put the Recreation and Park Department in charge of $161 million of the $195 million borrowed from taxpayers, with no restrictions on the department's misguided privatization policy. Rec-Park views our park system as real estate, renting and leasing spaces and facilities to private entities, and turning management over to private contractors. Increasingly, our parks are venues for private events. Sharply raised fees have restricted public access. We recognize Prop. B will accomplish some good durable editorials news B. What is needed is not more bond money, but a reliable progressively scaled funding stream for parks operation and maintenance. Since 2009, with support from the Gavin Newsom and Ed Lee administrations, Rec-Park has been converting itself into a property management enterprise. In 2010 fees or ID checks were imposed to walk in the Strybing Arboretum. Recreation directors were eliminated. Clubhouses were closed, leased out, even one remodeled misusing $3.9 million bond funds to lease it out. A 38-year-old public child-development program, free to parents, was evicted from Laurel Hill clubhouse so the building could be leased to a private preschool that charges as much as $17,000 a year tuition.

It's not as is he's hiding behind some butts and cockrings. But his legislation, which would create an infraction with fines starting at $100 for the simple act of nudity anywhere in San Francisco (except for a few designated events), goes way to far. There have been naked people frolicking in the streets of this city for nearly half a century. Local trends come and go, and nudity is one of them. It's never been a big deal; it's more of a San Francisco thing, one more reason that people come here to live and to visit. Tolerance is part of the urban culture. Public sex is already illegal. canaries in the coalmines CONT>> (In fact, so is being naked and "aroused," though we agree with Wiener that asking the cops to make that distinction is a bit ridiculous.) You can't go into a restaurant or bar naked, and you have to carry a towel if you're going to sit on a public bench. If the naked guys in the Castro were accosting passers-by or harassing people, they'd be subject to arrest. But that's not happening. And we don't buy the idea that a tiny number of people in one area of town already known for far more exotic erotic public displays (just check out some of the Castro storefronts) are such a massive issue that a new, hardto-enforce law is needed. The more attention the city pays to these guys, the more they're going to be in everyone's face. Besides, it's going to get cold and start to rain soon, at which point Mother Nature will take care of the naturists just fine. Let it go. 2 Call or e-mail for appointment: 415-608-2690 � ok@skinonskins stewards of our playgrounds and parks. Increasing numbers of residents pleaded with the department and Rec-Park Commission to change course, only to be arrogantly dismissed. So they're protesting the pay-to-play and privatizing of our commons and parks. Opponents to B are canaries in the coalmines . Public space and parks once lost are near impossible to retrieve. Rec-Park's policy is part of a pattern across the country, part of the dismantling of government, transferring responsibility for public service to private entities, and turning over public assets to private control. This in turn has excited private vendors seeing public space as a editorials news food + Drink source of profit. The threat to our parks is more urgent than it might appear because new vendors become investors who will fervently protect their "turf" against objections from the public. That is the problem with B. We cannot afford to feed this policy. Some say vote for Prop. B because if B doesn't pass, the department will privatize even more of our parks. Nothing in the Bond requires Rec-Park to stop pay-to-play and privatizing. We are urging the voters to send the message that our parks system is not for sale or lease.

It's bad enough that groups like the Coalition for Sensible Government -- a front group for the San Francisco Association of Realtors -- have been funding mailers attacking incumbent Eric Mar on behalf of downtown's candidate, David Lee. Combined spending by Lee and on his behalf is now approaching an unheard of $400,000. What's even more icky and unsettling is the fact that Lee -- a political pundit who has been regularly featured in local media outlets in recent years, usually subtly attacking progressives while trying to seem objective -- has refused to answer legitimate questions about his shady background and connections or the agenda he has for the city. He refused to come in for a Guardian endorsement interview or even to respond to our questions. His campaign manager, Thomas Li, told us Lee is too busy campaigning to answer questions from any reporters -- but he assured us that Lee will be more accessible and accountable once he's elected.

"This has been a long push," said Leah Shahum, president of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, a vocal advocate of the project. If the plan is passed, separated bikeways, crosswalk enhancements, traffic signal timing changes, and parking mitigation measures would be installed by the end of 2012, Rose said, and construction of bulbouts and a concrete bikeway barrier would be put in by the summer of 2013. Among the impacts: A loss of 35 parking spaces -- and complaints about that have been among the reasons for the delay. Shahum said the SFBC plans to turn out its members on Oct. 16 to ensure passage of a project it has sought for years: "We can breathe when it's over." The meeting's at 1 p.m., City Hall Room 400. ( Joe Fitzgerald) After three years of delays and broken promises, the fate of a dangerous but vital bike route in San Francisco will be decided Oct. 16. Oak and Fell streets, which make up one of the few major east-west byways in the city, carry tens of thousands of cars each day, according to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. They're also popular with bikers, since they represent the end of the Wiggle, a route from the Mission to Golden Gate Park that avoids major hills. There's no bike lane on Oak, and the stripes on Fell are narrow with no buffer, putting cyclists inches from heavy traffic. But if the transit agency gives it the green light, the perilous Oak-Fell corridor between Scott and Baker will gain needed concrete barriers and wider bike lanes, according to SFMTA spokesper- $ PROGRESSIVE TAXES -- WITH OR WITHOUT PELOSI California Nurses Association. "They pay no tax when trading and all we're asking for is Wall Street to pay us back and help local economies." Scott Hornback, a nurse at UCSF, said people in his profession spend their days caring for those hit hardest by the recession: "We care about the health of the American worker and the people who make up this economy." Roughly two dozen nurses and activists attempted to enter the PICKS ARTS + CULTURE A group of nurses showed up at the San Francisco office of Rep. Nancy Pelosi Oct. 2 to demand her support for a tax on financial transactions that's being dubbed "the Robin Hood Tax." The Inclusive Prosperity Act, or H.R. 6411, would establish a 0.5 percent tax on the trading of stocks, 50 cents on every $100 of trades and lesser rates on bonds, derivatives and currencies. It would generate an estimated $350 billion dollars annually that would go towards growing local economies -- taking from the rich to help the poor. It's in part a response to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which bailed out huge banks and financial institutions. "The destruction they've done to this country is enormous," said Charles Idelson, communications director for the EDITORIALS NEWS building, but security officials promptly stopped them, allowing only four members to seek a meeting with the House minority leader. Pelosi, of course, was nowhere to be found. The best the nurses got was a brief discussion in the lobby with a Pelosi aide. "We were told that after the election she might use her influence to back the legislation," said R.N. Deborah Burger. "We do plan to go to Washington to push this bill and we're going to do it with or without Nancy Pelosi." (Alex Kekauoha) | PHOTO BY ALEX WONG/ GETTY IMAGES There was no public outcry when Pedro Villamore, a 44year-old homeless gay man, was found dead in a doorway in the 500 block of Castro Street last December, a couple of weeks before Christmas and across the street from the holiday tree that the Merchants of Upper Market and Castro puts up every year to welcome big spenders into the neighborhood. MUMC, which in years past opposed three homeless queer youth shelters and a free meals program at a local gay church, did not decry the fact that a member of the community died on the street -- and where were the city's homeless outreach teams? Nor did any of the residents of the neighborhood express any concern that others who have a problem with methamphetamine, the area's drug of choice, might meet a similar fate -- and shouldn't the community be doing something about it? Of course, if he had been one of the nudists who hang out naked in the Castro these days, Villamore would've found himself on the front-page of Bay Area Reporter, the city's gay weekly, while he was still alive. At the urging of some Castro residents the MUMC, Sup. Scott Wiener has agreed to introduce anti-nudism legislation -- because a few naked men prance around the hood au natural, even sometimes sporting (horrors!) cock rings on their dicks. In a neighborhood where there's no dearth of cock rings or any other sex toy, not to mention every variety of gay porn imaginable, and where guys walk around bars in underwear, residents don't want public nudity. In a community that, according to a recent Williams Institute study, is rampant with poverty and suffers a serious lack of fulltime employment for transgender people (75%, according to a report from this paper and the Transgender Law Center), not to mention a major drug and alcohol problem that makes gay men easy targets for muggings as they leave the bars at night, you'd think that public nudity would the last thing on anyone's mind.

But that's probably because they weren't exposed to the full online furor sparked by Obama's continuation of his predecessor's overreaching approach to national security, such as signing the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, which allows the indefinite detention of those accused of supporting terrorism, even US citizens. We'll never know how this year's election would be different if the mainstream media adequately covered the NDAA's indefinite detention clause and many other recent attacks on civil liberties. What we can do is spread the word and support independent media sources that do cover these stories. That's where Project Censored comes in. Project Censored has been documenting inadequate media coverage of crucial stories since it began in 1967 at Sonoma State University. Each year, the group considers hundreds of news stories submitted by readers, evaluating their merits. Students search Lexis Nexis and other databases to see if the stories were underreported, and if so, the stories are fact-checked by professors and experts in relevant fields. A panel of academics and journalists chooses the Top 25 stories and rates their significance. The project maintains a vast online database of underreported news stories that it has "validated" and publishes them in an annual book. Censored 2013: Dispatches from the Media Revolution will be released Oct. 30. For the second year in row, Project Censored has grouped the Top 25 list into topical "clusters." This year, categories include "Human cost of war and violence" and "Environment and health." Project Censored director Mickey Huff told us the idea was to show how various undercovered stories fit together into an alternative narrative, not to say that one story was more censored than another. "The problem when we had just the list was that it did imply a ranking," Huff said. "It takes away from how there tends to be a pattern to the types of stories they don't cover or underreport." In May, while Project Censored was working on the list, another 2012 list was issued: the Fortune 500 list of the biggest corporations, whose influence peppers the Project Censored list in a variety of ways. Consider this year's top Fortune 500 company: ExxonMobil. The oil company pollutes everywhere it goes, yet most stories about its environmental devastation go underreported. Weapons manufacturers Lockheed Martin (58 on the Fortune list), General Dynamics (92), and Raytheon (117) are tied into stories about US prisoners in slavery conditions manufacturing parts for their weapons and the underreported war crimes in Afghanistan and Libya. These powerful corporations work together more than most people think. In the chapter exploring the "Global 1 percent," writers Peter Philips and Kimberly Soeiro explain how a small number of well-connected people control the majority of the world's wealth. In it, they use Censored story number 6, "Small network of corporations run the global economy," to describe how a network of transnational corporations are deeply interconnected, with 147 of them controlling 40 percent of the global economy's total wealth. For example, Philips and Soeiro write that in one such company, BlackRock Inc., "The eighteen members of the board of directors are connected to a significant part of the world's core financial assets.

The key piece of evidence was a 45-second video that Mirkarimi's wife, Eliana Lopez, made with her neighbor, Ivory Madison, displaying the bruise and saying she wanted to document the incident in case of a child custody battle. That video convinced many of Mirkarimi's guilt, and a majority of Ethics Commissioners say they found it to be the main evidence on which Mirkarimi should be removed from office on official misconduct charges (the Board of Supervisors was scheduled to vote on Mirkarimi's removal on Oct. 9, after Guardian press time). But that video was only a small part of the overwhelming and expensive case that Mayor Ed Lee brought against Mirkarimi, including the more serious charges of abuse of power, witness dissuasion, and impeding a police investigation, all of which go more directly to a sheriff's official duties. All of those charges got lots of media coverage and they helped cement the view of many San Franciscans that Mirkarimi engaged in a pattern of inappropriate behavior, rather than making a big momentary mistake. Yet most of the media coverage during the six months of Ethics Commission proceedings ignored the fact that none of the evidence that was being gathered supported those charges. Indeed, all those charges were unanimously rejected by the commission on Aug. 16, a startling rebuke of Lee's case but one that was not highlighted in many media 10 SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN Our picks for SF stories that didn't get the attention they deserved reports, which focused on the one charge the commission did uphold: the initial arm grab. Local censored Old powerbrokers return to City Hall The next dot-bomb In the late 1990s, San Francisco was in a very similar place to where it is now. The first dotcom boom was full bloom, driving the local economy and creating countless young millionaires -- but also rapidly gentrifying the city and driving commercial and residential rents through the roof (great for the landlords, bad for everyone else). And then, the bubble popped, instantly erasing billions of dollars in speculative paper wealth and leaving this a changed city. The city's working and creative classes suffered, but the political backlash gave rise to a decade with a progressive majority on the Board of Supervisors. The era ended in 2010 when Ed Lee was appointed mayor, and he began ambitious agenda of pumping up a new dot-com bubble using tax breaks, public subsidies, and relentless official boosterism to lure more tech companies to San Francisco. Lee has been successful in his approach, in the process driving up commercial rents and housing prices. By some estimates, about 30 percent of the city's economy is now driven by technology companies. Yet there have been few voices in the local media raising questions about this risky, costly, and self-serving economic development editorials news food + Drink picks strategy. The Bay Citizen did a story about Conway's self interested advice, the New York Times did a front page story raising these issues, and San Francisco Magazine just last month did a long cover story questioning how much tech is enough. But most local media voices have been silent on the issue, and much of the damage has already been done. meeting regularly with Mayor Lee and twisting the arms of supervisors on key votes. Pearce and Ho persuaded longtime progressive Christina Olague to co-chair the scandal-plagued Run Ed Run campaign last year, she was rewarded this year with Lee appointing her to the Board of Supervisors. Pearce has been her close adviser, and most of her campaign cash has been raised by Brown and Pak. Even progressive Sup. Eric Mar admits that Pak in raising money for him, a troubling sign of things to come. The real Occupy story The Occupy San Francisco camp that was cleared by police last week may have been mostly homeless people. And major news media outlets from the start reported that Occupy was dangerous, filthy, and a civic eyesore. But last fall, the camps were comprised of a huge variety of people that chose to live part or full time on the streets. Students, people with 9-5 jobs, people with service jobs, and the unemployed were all represented. Wealthy people who lived in the financial districts where camps popped up mixed with working-class people who came from suburbs and small towns. Families came out, welcomed in the "child spaces" set up in many Occupy camps throughout the country. Most camps also boasted libraries, free classes, kitchens, food distribution, and medical tents. As news media focused on gross-out stories of pee on the streets and graphic descriptions of drunk occupiers, they managed to ignore the complex systems that were built in the camps. Nor did anyone mention that homeless people have the right to protest, too. 2 on the cheap film listings classifieds More than a decade ago, then-Mayor Willie Brown and Chinatown power broker Rose Pak worked together to empower big business, corrupt local politics, and clear the path for rampant development -- an approach that progressives on the Board of Supervisors repudiated and slowed from 2000-2010. But Brown, Pak, and a new generation of their allies have returned in power in City Hall, and it's as bad as it ever was. Many San Franciscans know of their highprofile role appointing Lee to office in early 2011. But their influence and tentacles have extended far beyond what we read in the papers and watch on television, starting in 2010 when their main political operatives David Ho and Enrique Pearce ran Jane Kim's supervisorial campaign, beating Debra Walker, a veteran of the fights against Brown's remaking of the city.

Another cluster of stories, "Women and Gender, Race and Ethnicity," notes a pattern of underreporting stories that affect a range of marginalized groups. This broad category includes only three articles, and none are listed in the top 10. The stories reveal mistreatment of Palestinian women in Israeli prisons, including being denied medical care and shackled during childbirth, and the rape and sexual assault of women soldiers in the US military. The third story in the category concerns an Alabama anti-immigration bill, HB56, that caused immigrants to flee Alabama in such numbers that farmers felt a dire need to "help farms fill the gap and find sufficient labor." So the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries approached the state's Department of Corrections about making a deal where prisoners would replace the fleeing farm workers. But with revolutionary unrest around the world, and the rise of a mass movement that connects disparate issues together into a simple, powerful class analysis -- the 99 percent versus the 1 percent paradigm popularized by Occupy Wall Street -- this year's Project Censored offers an element of hope. It's not easy to succeed at projects that resist corporate dominance, and when it does happen, the corporate media is sometimes reluctant to cover it. Number seven on the Top 25 list is the story of how the United Nations designated 2012 the International Year of the Cooperative, recognizing the rapid growth of co-op businesses, organizations that are part-owned by all members and whose revenue is shared equitably among members. One billion people worldwide now work in co-ops. The Year of the Cooperative is not the only good-news story discussed by Project Censored this year. In Chapter 4, Yes! Magazine's Sarah Van Gelder lists "12 ways the Occupy movement and other major trends have offered a foundation for a transformative future." They include a renewed sense of "political self-respect" and fervor to organize in the United States, debunking of economic myths such as the "American dream," and the blossoming of economic alternatives such as community land trusts, time banking, and micro-energy installations. They also include results food + Drink picks arts + culture achieved from pressure on government, like the delay of the Keystone Pipeline project, widespread efforts to override the US Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling, the removal of dams in Washington state after decades of campaigning by Native American and environmental activists, and the enactment of singlepayer healthcare in Vermont. As Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed writes in the book's foreword, "The majority of people now hold views about Western governments and the nature of power that would have made them social pariahs 10 or 20 years ago." Citing polls from the corporate media, Mosaddeq writes: "The major- most people are wary of conventional party politics and disillusioned with the mainstream parliamentary system." "In other words," he writes, "there has been a massive popular shift in public opinion toward a progressive critique of the current political economic system." And ultimately, it's the public -- not the president and not the corporations--that will determine the future. There may be hope after all. Here's Project Censored's Top 10 list for 2013: 1. SignS of an emerging police State President George W. Bush is remembered largely for his role in curbing civil liberties in the name of his "war on terror." But it's President Obama who signed the 2012 NDAA, including its clause allowing for indefinite detention without trial for terrorism suspects. Obama promised that "my Administration will interpret them to avoid the constitutional conflict" -- leaving us adrift if and when the next administration chooses to interpret them otherwise. Another law of concern is the National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order that Obama issued in March 2012. That order authorizes the President, "in the event of a potential threat to the security of the United States, to take actions necessary to ensure the availability of adequate resources and production capability, including services and critical technology, for national defense requirements." The president is to be advised on this course of action by "the National Security Council and Homeland Security Council, in conjunction with the National Economic film listings classifieds One billiOn peOple wOrldwide nOw wOrk in cO-Ops. ity are now skeptical of the Iraq War; the majority want an end to US military involvement in Afghanistan; the majority resent the banks and financial sector, and blame them for the financial crisis; most people are now aware of environmental issues, more than ever before, and despite denialist confusion promulgated by fossil fuel industries, the majority in the United States and Britain are deeply concerned about global warming; music listings stage listings 12 SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN editorials news on the cheap news Council." Journalist Chris Hedges, along with co-plaintiffs including Noam Chomsky and Daniel Ellsberg, won a case challenging the NDAA's indefinite detention clause on Sept. 1, when a federal judge blocked its enforcement, but her ruling was overturned on Oct. 3, so the clause is back. 2. Oceans in peril Big banks aren't the only entities that our country has deemed "too big to fail." But our oceans won't be getting a bailout anytime soon, and their collapse could compromise life itself. In a haunting article highlighted by Project Censored, Mother Jones reporter Julia Whitty paints a tenuous seascape -- overfished, acidified, warming -- and describes how the destruction of the ocean's complex ecosystems jeopardizes the entire planet, not just the 70 percent that is water. Whitty compares ocean acidification, caused by global warming, to acidification that was one of the causes of the "Great Dying," a mass extinction 252 million years ago. Life on earth took 30 million years to recover. In a more hopeful story, a study of 14 protected and 18 non-protected ecosystems in the Mediterranean Sea showed dangerous levels of biomass depletion. But it also showed that the marine reserves were in good shape, with five to 10 times larger fish populations than in unprotected areas. That encourages establishment and maintenance of more reserves.

The US Environmental Protection Agency found radiation levels in air, water, and milk that were hundreds of times higher than normal across the United States. One month later, the EPA announced that radiation levels had declined, and they would cease testing. But after making a Freedom of Information Act request, journalist Lucas Hixson published emails revealing that on March 24, 2011, the task of collecting nuclear data had been handed off from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to the Nuclear Energy Institute, a nuclear industry lobbying group. And in one highly controversial study that got little attention, scientists Joseph Mangano and Jeanette Sherman found that in the period following the Fukushima meltdowns, 14,000 more deaths than average were reported in the US, mostly CONTINUES ON PAGE 14 >> deyoungmuseum.org/fridays Image: tiit Helimets, photograph by Alexander reneff-Olson. editorials news food + Drink picks arts + culture music listings stage listings on the cheap film listings classifieds October 10 - 16, 2012 / SFBG.com 13 -KFUQPC%TKOG5RTGG neWs )4/.0 %CTRCTM /CPCVGG CONT>> Kenya's Upendo Women's Cooperative meets WeeKly to maKe Crafts and disCUss bUsiness ideas.

FBI agents responsIBle For terrorIst plots We know that FBI agents go into communities such as mosques, both undercover and in the guise of building relationships, quietly gathering information about individuals. That's part of an approach to finding what the FBI now considers the most likely kind of terrorists, "lone wolves." Its strategy: "seeking to identify those disgruntled few who might participate in a plot given the means and the opportunity. And then, in case after case, the government provides the plot, the means, and the opportunity," writes Mother Jones journalist Trevor Aaronsen. The publication, along with the Investigative Reporting Program at the University of California-Berkeley, examined the results of this strategy, 508 cases classified as terrorism-related that have come before the US Department of Justice since the 9/11 terrorist attacks of 2001. In 243 of these cases, an informant was involved; in 49 cases, an informant actually led the plot. And "with three exceptions, all of the highprofile domestic terror plots of the last decade were actually FBI stings."

And a largely unregulated super entity like this is vulnerable to global collapse. 7. the InternatIonal year oF the cooperatIve Can something really be censored when it's straight from the United Nations? According to Project Censored evaluators, the corporate media underreported the UN declaring 2012 to be the International Year of the Cooperative, based on the coop business model's stunning growth. The UN found that, in 2012, one billion people worldwide are coop member-owners, or one in five adults over the age of 15. The largest is Spain's Mondragon Corporation, with more than 80,000 memberowners. The UN predicts that by 2025, worker-owned coops will be the world's fastest growing business model. Worker-owned cooperatives provide for equitable distribution of wealth, genuine connection to the workplace, and, just maybe, a brighter future for our planet. 6. small network oF corporatIons run the gloBal economy Reporting on a study by researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute in Zurich didn't make the rounds nearly enough, according to Censored 2013.

Federal reserve loaned trIllIons to major Banks The Federal Reserve, the US's quasiprivate central bank, was audited for the first time in its history this year. The audit report states, "From late 2007 through mid-2010, Reserve Banks provided more than a trillion dollars... in emergency loans to the financial sector to address strains in credit markets and to avert failures of individual institutions believed to be a threat to the stability of the financial system." These loans had significantly less interest and fewer conditions than the highprofile TARP bailouts, and were rife with conflicts of internet. Some examples: the CEO of JP Morgan Chase served as a board member of the New York Federal Reserve at the same time that his bank received more than $390 billion in financial assistance from the Fed. William Dudley, who is now the New York Federal Reserve president, was granted a conflict of interest waiver to let him keep investments in AIG and General Electric at the same time the companies were given bailout funds.

But concerned lawyers and other citizens worry that it could have disastrous effects for the First Amendment right to protest. Officially called the Federal Restricted Grounds Improvement Act, the law makes it a felony to "knowingly" enter a zone restricted under the law, or engage in "disorderly or disruptive" conduct in or near the zones. The restricted zones include anywhere the Secret Service may be -- places such as the White House, areas hosting events deemed "National Special Security Events," or anywhere visited by the president, vice president, and their immediate families; former presidents, vice presidents, and certain family members; certain foreign dignitaries; major presidential and vice presidential candidates (within 120 days of an election); and other individuals as designated by a presidential executive order. These people could be anywhere, and NSSEs have notoriously included the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, super bowls, and the Academy Awards. So far, it seems the only time HR 347 has kicked in is with George Clooney's high-profile arrest outside the Sudanese embassy. Clooney ultimately was not detained without trial -- information that would be almost impossible to censor -- but what about the rest of us who exist outside of the mainstream media's spotlight? 2 A book release party will be held at Moe's Books, 2476 Telegraph, in Berkeley, on Nov. 3.

Prison slavery in the Us On its website, the UNICOR manufacturing corporation proudly proclaims that its products are "made in America." That's true, but they're made in places in the US where labor laws don't apply, with workers often paid just 23 cents an hour to be exposed to toxic materials with no legal recourse. These places are US prisons. Slavery conditions in prisons aren't exactly news. It's literally written into the Constitution; the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, outlaws "slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted." But the articles highlighted by Project Censored this year reveal the current state of prison slavery industries, and its ties to war. The majority of products manufactured by inmates are contracted to the Department of Defense. Inmates make complex parts for missile systems, battleship anti-aircraft guns, and landmine sweepers, as well as night-vision goggles, body army, and camouflage uniforms. Of course, this is happening in the context of record high imprisonment in the US, where grossly disproportionate numbers of African Americans and Latinos are imprisoned, and can't vote even after they're freed. As psychologist Elliot D. Cohen puts it in this year's book: "This system of slavery, like that which existed in this country before the Civil War, is also racist, as more than 60 percent of US prisoners are people of color." music listings stage listings counterpUlSe A Catalyst for Art & Action 1310 Mission Street San Francisco, CA 415.626.2060 CounterPULSE.org at UN Plaza introduces Poetry and Paint Day!

East Bay Endorsements Oakland City Attorney Our recommendations in key Alameda County, Berkeley and Oakland races The East Bay ballot is crowded, with races for mayor, city council and school board in Berkeley and Oakland, plus a long list of ballot measures. We're weighing in on what we see as the most important races. supports community policing (and more cops) but is working on root causes, including the lack of services for people released into Oakland from state prison and county jail. She's also a strong transit advocate who's working on new bike lanes and a free shuttle on Broadway. She helped write the county transportation measure, B1. She richly deserves another term -- and De La Fuente deserves retirement. rescue animals; instead of bringing in creatures from the wild or from other zoos, the folks in Oakland often find ways to take in animals that have been abused or mistreated elsewhere. Measure A1 would impose a tiny ($12 a year) parcel tax to support the public zoo. Critics say the money could go for zoo expansion, but the expansion's happening anyway. Vote yes. Measure O: Pool tax Barbara Parker This one's simple: Progressives on the council like Parker, who's a pretty unbiased attorney. Her challenger, Jane Brunner, is a supporter of Ignacio De La Fuente. Vote for Parker. YES Berkeley often does things right, and this is a perfect example: Instead of building new facilities that it can't afford to operate (hello, SF Recreation and Parks Department), Berkeley is asking for two things from the voters: Bond money to rebuild the municipal pools, and a special tax to provide $600,000 a year for operations. We support both. It hasn't worked in San Francisco, it won't work in Berkeley. Vote no. Measure T: Amendments to the West Berkeley Plan NO Council Members Kriss Worthington, Jesse Arreguin, and Max Anderson all oppose this plan, which would open up West Berkeley to more office development -- with no guarantee of community benefits. Everyone agrees the area needs updated zoning, but this is too loose. Oakland City Council: At-large Rebecca Kaplan In some ways, this is a replay of the 2010 mayor's race, where Rebecca Kaplan and Jean Quan, running as allies in a ranked-choice voting system, took on and beat Don Perata, the longtime powerbroker who left town soon after his defeat. This time around, it's Kaplan, the popular incumbent, facing Ignacio De La Fuente, a Perata ally, for the one atlarge council seat. De La Fuente, who currently represents District 3, would have easily won re-election if he stuck to home. But for reasons he's never clearly articulated, he decided to go after Kaplan. The general consensus among observers: De La Fuente wants to be mayor (he's tried twice and failed), thinks Quan is vulnerable, and figures winning the at-large seat would give him a citywide base. It's a clear choice: Kaplan is one of the best elected officials in the Bay Area, a bright, progressive, practical, and hardworking council member who is full of creative ideas. De La Fuente is an old Perata Machine hack who wanted to kick out Occupy Oakland the first day, wants curfews for youth, and can't even get his story straight on cutting the size of the Oakland Police Department. De La Fuente is all about law and order, and he blasts Kaplan for -- literally -- "coddling criminals." But actually, as the East Bay Express has reported in detail, De La Fuente, in a fit of anger at the police union, led the movement to lay off 80 cops. And the crime rate in Oakland spiked shortly afterward. Kaplan opposed that motion, and tried later to rehire many of those cops -- but De La Fuente objected. Public safety is one of the top local issues, and Kaplan not only 18 SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN Berkeley Mayor Measure B1:Transportation programs Kriss Worthington It would be nice to have a Berkeley person as mayor of Berkeley again. The city's still among the most progressive outposts in the country -- and Mayor Tom Bates, for all his history as one of the leading progressive voices in the state Legislature and a key part of the city's left-liberal political operation, has taken the city in a decidedly centrist direction. Bates these days is all about development. He's a big supporter of the sit-lie law (hard to imagine the old Tom Bates ever supporting an antihomeless measure). He didn't even seek the mayoral endorsement of Berkeley Citizens Action, which he helped build, and instead hypes the Berkeley Democratic Club, which he used to fight. After ten years, we're ready for a new Berkeley mayor. Worthington is the voice of the left on the City Council. He's an aggressive legislator who is never short of ideas. He's talking about the basics (holding separate council meetings on major issues so people who want to speak don't have to wait until midnight), to the visionary (a 21point plan for revitalizing Telegraph Avenue). He's against sit-lie and wants developers to offer credible community benefits agreements before they build. We're with Worthington. YES Quite possibly the most important thing on the East Bay ballot, Measure B1 creates the funding for a long-term transportation plan. Almost half of the money would go for public transit and only 30 percent for streets and roads. There's more bicycle money than in any previous transportation plan. Every city in Alameda County supports it. Vote yes. Measure P: Reauthorizing special taxes YES Measure P doesn't raise anyone's taxes. It's just a housekeeping measure, mandated by state law, allowing the city to keep spending taxes that were approved years ago for parks, libraries, medical services, services for the disabled, and fire services. Vote yes. Measure U: Sunshine Commission YES Berkeley has needed a strong sunshine law for years; this one isn't the greatest, but it's not the worst, either. It would mandate better agendas (and allow citizens to petition for items to be put on the agenda) for city boards and commissions, would create a new sunshine commission with the ability to sue the city to enforce the law, and would require elected and appointed officials to make public their appointments calendars. Berkeley ballot measures Proposition M: Street improvements bond Measure Q: utility tax YES Berkeley's been collecting utility taxes on cell phones for some time now, but the law that allows it is based on federal language that has changed. So the city needs to make this modest change to continue collecting its existing tax. YES Not our first choice for a street improvement bond, it's a bit of a hodgepodge that squeaked through a divided council. But the city's deferred street maintenance is a major problem and this $30 million bond would be a modest step forward. Measure V: Certified Financial Reports Measure R: District lines NO This sounds like a great idea -- mandate that the city present certified financial audits of its obligations before issuing any more debt. In practice, it's a way to make it harder for Berkeley to raise taxes or issue bonds. Vote no. YES The council districts in Berkeley were set when the city adopted district elections in 1986, with a charter amendment saying all future redistricting should conform as closely as possible to the 1986 lines. Nice idea, but the population has changed and it makes sense for the council to have more flexibility with redistricting. Measure N: Pools bond YES Berkeley has lost half its public pools in the past two years; the facilities are unusable, and it's going to take about $20 million to refurbish and rebuild them. This bond measure would allow the city to reopen the Willard Pool and build a new Warm Water Pool -- critical for seniors and people rehabbing from injuries. Vote Yes. picks arts + culture Alameda County ballot measures Measure A1: Zoo tax Oakland ballot measures Measure J: School bonds Measure S: Sit-lie law NO, NO, NO It's hard to believe that progressive Berkeley, which has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending similar laws in court, wants to criminalize sitting on the sidewalk. music listings stage listings Yes Measure J would authorize $475 million in bonds for upgrading school facilities.

Over the course of a very eventful year in marijuana, we spoke with Roseanne Barr, Black Panthers, oncologists, tax attorneys, Coral Reefer. Snoop Dogg, Fiona Apple, Pat Robertson, the president of Uruguay, and an actress from the Blair Witch Project all made our news call. That list alone should serve as proof that cannabis has irrevocably entered the mainstream. We went around the world to see how pot was faring in other corners. Seattle's medical marijuana champion-DIY pop star Lisa Dank reported back from South By Southwest. I chatted with the author of medical marijuana legislation in Washington, DC, dropped in on a Berlin head shop employee, and took a walk with a small town politician up in the Marin County hills of Fairfax. Honestly, I didn't want to write about politics at all when we started the column. Boring! Fake! Politricks! Etcetera. But then last September, the IRS intensified its hounding of several major Bay Area dispensaries. Then, at an October 7 press conference in Sacramento, US Attorneys let us know they were going to start being a bummer. A year later, we're short a whole bunch of places to get marijuana, including no less than two of the clubs I personally depended on. Hiss. Against my best intentions, current events necessitated that Herbwise focus on law and order, from time to time. But there's been good moments (the week I wrote Herbwise high as hell in my cubicle on Amor�, the cannabis aphrodisiac shot), just like the especially-bad moments (the week I bore the tidings that major credit card companies would no longer process sale of marijuana and that beloved local dispensary Vapor Room was closing due to threatening letters from federal agencies. That week I wrote about Lady Gaga.) I'm privileged to have been able to weigh in on a year that will surely change the music listings stage listings ...

Some words on words: I got told 800 times to not call it "pot" or "weed." One person wrote to say "flower" was better terminology. Please don't mix us up with the recreational users, some card carrying marijuana users told me. You're hurting our quest to be taken seriously. But I need my synonyms. Nah, more importantly, I think this not-mixing is the problem. Focusing the movement for increased access to cannabis on the medical marijuana industry isn't working. Drop the pretense, I say. The longer we stigmatize recreational users, the longer people (and by people I mean young men of color, because that's who our racist prison system is filled with) are going to be sent to jail for a stupid reason. And less people will feel connected enough to the movement to create the kind of buzz that will eventually change public opinion. And prisonmakers and antidrug warriors will continue to get the money that should be going to our schools and social services. Obviously, I'm not saying that cannabis doesn't have medical usages. Studies have recently emerged that suggest it stops the spread of cancer in the body, and any patient that has AIDS or another wasting, awful, strength-sapping disease can tell you that cannabis can be a literal life saver when it comes to stimulating appetite and general pain management. But the ways in which people use cannabis are multitudinous, and the only reason it's regulated differently than tobacco, wine, liquor, McDonald's, and the thousand other things you can abuse out of moderation is because of government and corporate control. You smoke to relax after a hard day, you smoke to bond with friends, you smoke to have fun. Herbwise bids you adieu. We'll still be covering cannabis in the Guardian, of course, and like a phoenix, I'll be rising from this spent bowl with Street Seen, a new column focusing on all the rad things happening in street art, and fashion, and other founts of alternative Bay Area culture.

Evan and Sarah Rich's new Rich Table is, kinks and all, even in the first month, well-rounded and satisfying. With efficient, informed service, reasonably priced wine list, few but wellcrafted cocktails, a comfortable dining room with rustic-urban decor, and most importantly, a number of exquisite dishes, Rich Table is primed for greatness. The Riches, a husband-and-wife chef duo, both worked at Bouley in New York and Coi here in San Francisco. Evan was also at Quince, Sarah at Michael Mina -- and the couple hosted memorable pop-up dinners at Radius last fall. This fine dining pedigree infuses their midrange menu. At other restaurants, dishes don't often surprise beyond a menu reading. But here numerous dishes are more fascinating than their descriptions suggest. At AQ, dishes are works of art unfolding in layers of unexpected flavor. At Rich Table, there's an approachable comfort elevated with refined nuances. On the light bites side, everyone (and I mean everyone) has been buzzing about paper-thin potato chips ($7) with sardines interwoven through the center, dipped in horseradish cream. I'm a big sardine fan : these are not overrated, worth ordering every time. I brushed past Castelvetrano olives ($5) as common -- thankfully a dining companion ordered them on one visit. Brightened by celery leaves and preserved lemon, the olives pop. On an early visit, popcorn soup ($10) tasted like buttery, pureed popcorn in a bowl. Yuzu kosho (a fermented paste of chili peppers and yuzu rind) perks up the creamy bowl. Outstanding squid dishes ($14) morph with seasonal ingredients. The first incarnation wowed, the plump squid lively with watermelon yet editorials news food + Drink riCH aT HearT simultaneously savory in black olive vinaigrette, dotted with crispy onions. This sweet-tangy, fresh-grilled dish was such a joy, I couldn't help but be a little let down by its successor: squid with figs, crisp onions and lardon draped across the top. The breezy luminosity brought by the melon felt a bit weighted down with figs, though still a winning dish. Crushed peas ($14) with California yellowtail and saltine crackers to scoop up is vivaciously fresh, but comes in a slight (i.e. miniscule) serving. The menu is not easily categorized nor a copycat of anyone, but is packed with pleasures peeking out in unforseen places. Case in point? The pasta. I could come here for pasta alone (one dinner I ordered all four pasta dishes on the ever-changing menu). None shines more than a divine duck lasagna ($19). A smile crosses my face just thinking of delicate, melting sheets of pasta, layered with braised duck, light b�chamel, and tart Santa Rosa plums. It's a glorious pasta dish with no equal in this town... or in any other. Other pasta dishes may not reach these heights but each is worthwhile, even excellent, whether rigatoni bolognese ($18) elevated by bone marrow and crispy kale or beets, or spaghetti ($18) tossed with Jimmy Nardello peppers and clams. On the entree front, lichenpoached rabbit ($25) is heartwarming as it is gourmet, mingling with cippolini onions, radicchio leaves and broccoli raabe. Pork belly panzanella ($24) is the classic Italian bread salad of tomato, basil, cucumber and toasted bread cubes tossed with fatty pork belly, though I took to a hearty tomato-braised oxtail on picks arts + culture music listings 8FCFBUBOZDPNQFUJUPSTQSJDFTCZ"MMPGPVS&WBMVBUJPOTBSF-&("-BOE EPOFCZBOJOIPVTF$"$FSUJ� FE.%BTSFRVJSFECZUIF$".FEJDBM#PBSE toast ($25) even more. While accompanying grilled octopus and collard greens seemed disparate, the meaty toast alone makes it worthwhile, as satisfying as Southern BBQ. Sarah Rich's desserts (all $8) maintain the comfort-meets-craft spirit of the restaurant from a bright melange of chilled melon to caramelized olive oil cake in strawberries, a heightened strawberry shortcake. Panna cotta lovers shouldn't miss Sarah's silky rendition with changing seasonal accents. Wines are priced by glass, carafe or bottle, conveniently grouped in three white and three red price categories, with strong options like 2010 Christian Moreau Chardonnay from Burgundy, or a 2011 COS Frappato from Sicily. The cocktail list ($10 each) is short -- no more than four or five at a time -- and I've sampled six different ones. While some fare better than others (the Barn Wood, with Buffalo Trace bourbon and bitters, was a bit too musky-sweet from stone fruits), most offer understated elegance, actually different than other cocktail menus in simple purity. The star is the lush, green Big Night, which looks like a healthy, green veggie drink, but is subtly smoky Del Maguey Vida mezcal mixed with nasturtium and ginger, topped with an edible flower. It's clean, strong, memorable. As is Land's End, the Riches' answer to a martini, using the incomparable St. George Terroir Gin, dry vermouth and foraged Monterey cypress. On the light, soft side, Let's Go is a refreshing sipper of Encanto pisco, coconut water and lime. Sarah, Evan and the engaged staff serve a warm vibe at their table in Hayes Valley -- and an ever unexpected menu that focuses simultaneously on flavorful comfort and elegant simplicity. riCH TaBle 199 Gough, SF.

SEREndiPiTy, wiTH SABA By L.E. LEonE firstname.lastname@example.com CHEAP EATS The number of severed duck heads in my compost bucket currently stands at eight, but I am open to more. Did anyone else accidentally go to Louisiana and shoot some ducks, bring them back, put them in the fridge, and then not have time to deal with them? If so, I'm here for you. If you want, I'll even share the resultant gumbo. Just ask the de la Cooters. A lot of people don't like to eat ducks. Especially wild `uns, which, in comparison to their domesticational counterparts, tend toward tough and gamey. That's why you have to gumbo them. Gumbo, by virtue of being gumbo, is good. Even health-food gumbo, like mine. I used okra and file instead of a roux, Hedgehog being essentially gluten free. I even used chicken-instead-of-pork andouille. From Trader Joe's! And it was super spicy and delicious, so kudos to them. Meanwhile, as much as I hate to dis the little guy: boo-hiss to RoliRoti for selling me an inedible half of a chicken yesterday at the Mission Market. What the? Everyone raves about this place, but I've had better chickens for half the price at the Safeway Deli.

It's Tokyo Teriyaki, in Daly City, and we wound up there by accident with my Secret Agent Lady, who picked us up from the airport after last week's column. At rush hour! So 101 was bad, so we took 280, which was bad, but we were hungry anyway so we aimed ourselves toward Tani's Kitchen. Which had a line with a 40-minute wait, it's so cute in there.

Which doesn't sound as good as Tani's Kitchen, and was only luke-warmly recommended by one of our fellow line-standers, but twothirds of us were starving on East Coast time, so away we whisked. Wow. If they're waiting 40 minutes to eat at Tani's, and the half-empty joint around the corner is this good ... Wow. Daly City is my new favorite city. Oshitashi made with napa cabbage instead of spinach: fantastic. Seafood sunomono, which is a cucumber salad with raw shrimp, crab, and octopus: fantastic.

PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY, & TIMEWARP /FXCPPLMBZTCBSF UIF3FOBJTTBODF'BJSF BY MARKE B. firstname.lastname@example.com CULTURE For any of you (guilty!) who have a kneejerk gag-reflex reaction upon hearing the words "Renaissance Faire," but can't quite pinpoint the source of your disdain, author Rachel Lee Rubin breaks it down for you three ways: fear of men in tights, fear of voluptuous women squeezed into revealing outfits, and fear of being engulfed by nerd culture. That third category of Renaiphobia includes my own personal terror, being approached by a merry fool and loudly addressed in "castle talk," that peculiar grammatical melange which embodieth the thithermost in Faire-y frippery. (I would also add another fear: that of hepatitis A, which my husband's high school friend contracted from a woefully undercooked giant turkey leg.) "Part of Renaissance Faire culture is inextricably intertwined with this adjacent culture of Renaissance Faire haters," Rubin told me over the phone from her office in Cambridge, Mass. "I spent so much time among the trolls on Internet message boards, it really hurt my feelings!" The fascinating, forthcoming Well Met: Renaissance Faires and the American Counterculture (NYU Press, release date November 19), a study of the phenomenon and its political and cultural echoes by Rubin, a professor of American Studies at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, just might temper any Renaissance indigestion. Its deep and compelling tale of the Faire's reach, much of it emanating from a specifically Californian aesthetic of softgolden attitudes and ecstatic liberal expression, certainly had me revisiting some of my own preconceptions, even yearning to be part of the revelry. Somebody polish me a codpiece! Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the Faire. (This year's monthlong Northern California Renaissance Faire in Hollister winds down Sat/13-Sun/14). Amazingly, Well Met is the first comprehensive historical and anthropological study of the festival, although an official 50th jubilee commemorative album is set to be published next year (www.rpf50book.com). The Faire's tale begins with a young Laurel Canyon teacher's quest to teach her charges at the local community center the history of theater, including the Italian Renaissance form of commedia dell'arte, the rowdy, harlequin-speckled, lutesountracked populist traveling-theater tradition. But Phyllis Patterson's idea of putting on a community festival, dubbed the Renaissance Pleasure Faire, soon became a flashpoint for several cultural and political currents of the time, not least the blacklisting of Hollywood professionals by the House Un-American Activities Committee (with all that out-of-work talent, the first Ren Faire served as both showbiz bonanza and backlash to Communist witch hunts); a turning away from mass-produced goods and the harmful effects of editorials news food + Drink yoshis.com Student discounts of 50% off are back!

Dinner Reservations Recommended. global commercialism (with an emphasis on handmade crafts and local community); and the incubation stage of the hippie, including the Faire's soft-focus, wildand-free English pastoral style of clothing, soon found donned by top pop minstrels, from the Byrds to the Isley Brothers. "Even now, the spectre of the long-haired hippie looms in many older conservative minds. And he -- it is always a he -- belongs to the aesthetic of the Renaissance Faire, guitar in one hand, flower in the other," Rubin told me. Also involved in the Faire's history was the reinvention of theater -- the New Vaudeville, including such bigtimers as Firesign Theater, the Flying Karamazov Brothers, Pickle Family Circus, and Bill Irwin, the explosion of public community radio (LA's KPFK and our own KPFA owe much of their golden years to the Faire), and a revisionist historical movement in education. Rubin traces the New Left political movement's break with the Old Left to the Faire's liberating effect. But mostly the Faire operated as America's freak magnet, the most visible manifestation of the counterculture emerging from the conformist 1950s -- and a safe space for outsiders of all types. "Again and again, people told me how the Faire made them feel safe," Rubin said. "Vietnam veterans told me it was only at Faire that they felt welcome back in the country. There was a huge gay and lesbian presence from the beginning, and the bawdiness encouraged there attracted different sexual expressions. Class difference, too, could be left behind. The costuming echoed that of the masquerade, where a certain amount of anonymity -- a shedding of the self at the gates, which is a very important ritual at the Faire -- opened up new possibilities. picks arts + culture music listings "The central paradox of the Faire is that it allows you to be more yourself while being someone else." Another paradox is the overwhelming anachronism of the Faire -- starting with those emblematic turkey legs and continuing through the revealing custom-made chain mail "wench wear" that's lately become all the rage among female Faire regulars ("playtrons" in castle talk). Somehow, reimagining the historical past makes the Faire more authentic. "The inspiration to write this book actually came when I took an English friend to one of the fairs," Rubin said with a laugh. "He was horrified: `what have you done to my country's history?' But the central notion of the festival is play -- even a play on the meaning of `renaissance' itself. It's almost like steampunk's relationship with the Victorian era. Except that steampunk starts with one historical period and imagines the future, whereas the Renaissance Faire imagines the past." And of course the one constant of every historical endeavor is change. The Faire is now a national institution with a broader appeal than ever. After functioning as an artistic haven in the 1960s and a working class escape in the late `70s and `80s (the titillating "freakfest" alternative to Six Flags' "redneck Disneyland"), it's lately settled into the role of suburban theme party and gamernerd paradise. But that's changing as well. "The video game role-players are still there, but the faire doesn't seem to resonate as much with the current tech crowd, which may be more attracted to material gain than fantasy escapism," Rubin said. "And many regular playtrons are dismayed at what they see as the Disneyfication of the Faire. Now we're seeing more `handmade crafts' manufactured in China and attempts to corporatize on larger levels." Yet the original spirit of transformation and togetherness persists. For Well Met, Rubin visited dozens of Faires across the country, not only documenting several intriguing regional differences but also talking to several dedicated playtrons about their personal experiences at the Faire. What emerges is a candid family portrait, full of self-aware whimsy, goofy charm, and awkward situations. (Rubin speaks with playtrons of color about the faire's often ethnically challenged demographics and writes about the widening of the Faire's aesthetics to include Islamic World elements, in acknowledgment of the actual Renaissance's roots.) Also persistent: the wilder, bawdy side, especially on the last day of many Faires, when parents are warned and much of the self-censorship vanishes, like mead from a sterling goblet gripped by hairy Hobbit knuckles. Profane insults and hilariously vulgarish displays fill the fairgrounds. Will that be the case on Sun/14 at the NorCal Ren Faire?

Resident evil 6 photo courtesy of capcom OvERkill Resident Evil 6 (Capcom) Xbox 360, PS3, PC GAMER Capcom really wants you to like Resident Evil 6. The Japanese developer has been turning out entries since 1996 in the survival horror franchise that has spawned countless films, games, books, and theme park attractions, and with each success came an increase in fans. Resident Evil 6 suggests Capcom has listened to each and every one of its fans, and instead of using fan feedback to make an informed decision about what type of game players want, they simply shrugged and stuffed four games into one. Resident Evil 6 offers four separate story campaigns, each designed to appeal to a different kind of player. For fans of the original games, fan favorite Leon Kennedy gets top billing in a campaign with a tense atmosphere and sense of exploration. Resident Evil 5's Chris Redfield heads a combatheavy campaign focusing on action and gunplay. New character Jake Muller takes on a story that plays like a mixture of the first two, and the unlockable final campaign stars a bizarrely deracialized Ada Wong as she solves puzzles. Booting up the Leon campaign reveals mechanics and pacing that are baffling. Levels are designed to be played with a partner, but there are moments when one player performs a task while the other stands around with nothing to do. 28 SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN editorials news food + Drink picks arts + culture music listings stage listings Quicktime events exist solely to make players jam on the sticks and buttons at inopportune times and lead mostly to cheap deaths. Melee combat is so overpowered it makes more sense to kick zombies to death rather than waste ammunition lining up a shot from a pistol. And the game is relentless with explosions and breakneck action sequences. The schizophrenic design decisions start to fall into place when you begin Chris' war-shooter themed campaign. The focus on guns, overpowered melee moves, and arena levels are specifically designed to enhance an action experience but have been applied across the board to campaigns that don't support the play style. Understandably, it's impossible to change the fundamental design of each campaign without ballooning the developers' budget, but my response to that would be not to make four different campaigns. Longtime fans of the series were never going to accept Resident Evil 6. It makes the controversially actionpacked fifth entry look like Citizen Kane and it's a far cry from the slow, solitary experiences that made the franchise a hit. But even separating the game from its baggage, the game stumbles in simple mechanics, pacing, and level design. When a single failed release can sink a development company it may seem justifiable to want to focus-group your game, but in dividing their resources Capcom really just made four different bad games.

What's interesting to me, is the comedian who brings a guitar to the stage, or the seasoned noise composer who tries his hand at stand-up; it has a boot-strapped vaudevillian, winking variety show appeal. And are you aware that cheeky, string-bean comedian Kerri Kenney-Silver, of The State and Reno 911, was once in a riot grrrl band called Cake Like? But I digress. So, Bedard -- also the drummer of Icky Boyfriends, Hank IV, and Little Queenie -- has been booking the garage pop, swamp rock, surfpunk, and experimental avant-garde heavy lineups at the Hemlock (www. hemlocktavern.com) since 2002, and he established a monthly comedy night, Club Chuckles, there in 2003. It's still running. When I started listing shows for the Guardian's music calendar, the name Club Chuckles blew confused thought bubbles above my head. I thought perhaps there was a juggalo-esque rap-rock group that just happened to play the Hemlock monthly? But no, it's an experimental comedy night. Bedard, who also runs comedy label Talent Moat, calls it a "deconstructed comedy club experience," that specializes in "weirder, bent comedy in an anything-goes rock club setting." Neil Hamburger, Brent Weinbach, Jasper Redd, Louis Katz, Moshe Kasher, and Reggie Watts have all popped in. When I ask about there seeming to be an increase in underground comedic talent lately, Bedard says, "The comedy scene, not unlike the music scene, is cyclical, and right now there is a bumper crop of funny, interesting, cool, weird, up-and-coming comedians pretty much seven nights a week in San Francisco." One such relatively new comedian is George Chen, who is better known in the local music scene as a member of KIT, Chen Santa Maria, Common Eider King Eider, and as a booker-promoter of underground, all-ages shows. Chen also runs Zum Records, and formerly worked for Alternative Tentacles. He's everywhere. And one night this summer, he sent out a Facebook invite to his music fans, saying he and Kevin O'Shea would be hosting an eclectic live comedy night in the basement of Lost Weekend Video.

Each ticket purchase comes with coupons for free burritos from nearby taquerias. Another great mashup of ideas, this time hopefully topped with hot sauce. And lest we forget, there's another, much bigger fest in San Francisco this weekend, as festival season continues: Treasure Island Music Festival (Sat/13-Sun/14, noon, single day $75; two-day, $129.50. www. lineup.treasureislandfestival.com). This year, I'm most curious about luminous Beth Ditto's Gossip, to see how they work this glossy new dancepop sound live, Grimes, to hear if her tiny voice can carry, and Public Enemy, because, it's Public Enemy. There's also M83, Joanna Newsom, and Divine Fits. Also, Sunday's headliners the xx just released shimmering new LP, Coexist, which should create a sexy, foggy atmosphere. And then there's Saturday's pop culture regurgitater, Girl Talk, if you're in to that sort of thing.

And many of the comedians (12 in all, I believe? It went on so long that there was an intermission) riffed on San Francisco, LA, and what could best be described as hipster nonsense. By the end of the night, my cheeks hurt from laughing so hearty at the likes of Chen, Chris Garcia, Jesse Elias, and Jessica Sele. That Lost Weekend night is now one of Chen's frequent co-hosting gigs -- Cynic Cave takes place every second Saturday -- along with Talkies, a multimedia comedic variety show he puts together monthly at ATA (www.atasite.org) with Anna Seregina. So how did he get here? From long-standing musician/musicians-ally, to comedy club host? "It's a lot of reboots with me. I'm a big rebooter. I'm a big control-altdelete guy," he says, smiling, sitting in Alamo Square park after we make our way from Rare Device curiosities shop on Divisadero, where his sister Yvonne has permanent pop-up shop Little Otsu; he also infrequently contributes graphics and moral support to that endeavor. He has a slight lisp and an honest yet sarcastic demeanor that's incredibly endearing. Chen, who's in his 30s and grew up in San Jose, considers himself a late bloomer when it comes to comedy. But he's been expressing himself artistically, in other manners, since high school, when he and his sister started the Zum fanzine, and later the record label. Now he has the Zum podcast, which was formerly music mixes, and now features interviews with musicians and comedians.

"My entire music career was sort of an elaborate failure. It was sort of an abrasive, deliberate failure in some ways. I think it was a very defeatist attitude about what I was doing, like `oh, this isn't going to be popular. This is just going to be super cult,'" he says in a typically self-effacing manner. When we first start talking, he seems somewhat hesitant to link his musical past with his comedy present, but he keeps laying out all these perfect examples. He was in a hardcore band called Boxleitner in the early Aughts with his friend Gabriel Mindel Saloman of Yellow Swans that he says was initially a joke band. "I thought of it as a parody of a hardcore band at first," Chen says. "It's like a very sincere joke band, if that makes sense?" I mention the Locust as another example, and he counters, "but they're such good musicians." Later, he just spells it out: "this is why I can say my comedy career started in music; I also did a cover band in the late `90s ...It was an all-Chinese cover band of the Northwest punk band Lync, so we were called Chync, and it was very odd that you had a band of four Chinese-American dudes that were all into this punk band hard enough that we knew all the songs." This week, Chen will be doing some free stand-up outside with more than a dozen other comics during the Ha!ccupy Berkeley event at Berkeley's Sunday Streets (Sun/14, 11am-4pm, Shattuck Avenue from Hast to Rose, Berk., www.sundaystreetsberkeley.com).

But looming overhead the whole time are the red-white-andblue bunting of some half-forgotten political rally, depending from the flies amid three long strips sheared from the stars and stripes, hung equidistantly across the stage. These thin flags have tightened their belts, and look a bit dingy too, almost sepia-toned, and floating above the impoverished scene below somehow bring to mind that flag behind Ella Watson, the African American cleaning woman in Gordon Parks' iconic Depression-era photograph, American Gothic, Washington, D.C. If there's thus a certain electionyear ring to Mikiko Uesugi's careful scenic design -- present before the action even starts -- it's a sonorous and dissonant one, echoing back across a political past with a strange and disorienting nostalgia, a contaminated euphoria. What could be more appropriate? At a time when mainstream political reality seems feverishly bizarre, almost surreal, Parks' drama endures as a shrewd poetical remix of American history, an elucidating fever dream in a realistic mode: two African American brothers respectively named Lincoln (Bowman Wright) and Booth (Biko EisenMartin) by a runaway father who apparently found it funny, share a precarious perch and a tainted patrimony in a poor part of a nameless city -- where they act out an overlapping series of fated roles. These mix race, class, sex, family, and DOG DOG BOWMAN WRIGHT AND BIKO EISEN-MARTIN IN TOPDOG/UNDERDOG PHOTO BY DAVID ALLEN much unattainable. Booth wants knowledge from his brother, more than anything else. Linc was once famous on the streets as a master of the Three-card Monte hustle -- which itself has nothing to do with luck -- but has given up the cards in the wake of a guilt-ridden incident. Eager brother Booth (played by Eisen-Martin with a nicely coiled energy, dangerous and comically hapless at once) is dying to become a hustler himself, but his efforts to learn the ropes meet with resistance from his jaded, wary older brother (whom Wright imbues with a perfect combination of wistful compassion and alphamale contempt). For his part, Linc's guilty conscience finds a kind of half-bitter contentment in his current job: impersonating his namesake at a carnival sideshow, where he daydreams as sitting duck in white-face Honest Abe drag, before a ready line of customer-assassins. Indeed, Linc's first appearance onstage comes in the Lincoln get-up, an eerily comic site that already loads the naturalistic performances with dreamy intensity. If Parks' drama (which premiered off-Broadway in the summer of 2001) preceded everything from 9/11, the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan, Katrina, the financial crisis, worldwide protest movements against global capitalism and empire, and the advent of the country's first African American president, MTC's apt revival shows it more than keeps pace with the times as a gritty and gripping allegory of endemic, convoluted civil wars. 2 TOPDOG/UNDERDOG Through Oct. 21, $36-$57 Marin Theatre Company 397 Miller, Mill Valley www.marintheatre.org 8WSef 3XaaVS`VVd[`]Yg[VW wednesday october 24, 2012 EAT 5JNFTDIBOHF CVUNBZCFOPUTPNVDI JO�5PQEPH6OEFSEPH� money as equal facets of a brutally antisocial system -- a racket, in fact, high above (but qualitatively the same as) the Three-card Monte scheme at center of the story. But in the brothers' tragic and absurd destinies, half-grasped at best by the protagonists themselves, the play plumbs a deeper understanding too, a historical current churning and moving below everything -- and in that understanding opens a sense of possibility. The apartment is younger brother Booth's roost, but Linc, as he's called, is bringing home the bacon (or Chinese food) in exchange for crashing on the La-Z-Boy. Linc has been kicked out by now ex-wife Cookie (an offstage character symbolizing perhaps a kind of standard "fortune" for a married man without economic prospects, something akin to the ambiguous forecast Linc gets with his Chinese takeout: "Your luck will change").

"! # "! ! KEEP DIGGING Muscle memory takes center stage at flawed `Spaceholder Festival' BY RITA FELCIANO firstname.lastname@example.com DANCE Once you have learned to ride a bike or tie your shoes, your body will recall the movements and their sequential logic for the rest of your life. It's called muscle memory and dancers are fantastic at it. Before videotape and dance notation, it was not uncommon to ask, say, former Martha Graham dancers about an old piece -- only to hear them respond that they couldn't recall it. But if you put them into a studio together, one of them would demonstrate a half-remembered gesture, another would place or correct it, and a third would bring up a sequence or antecedent. Four hours later, these women would have drawn out of their bodies a pretty good approximation of what had been thought to be a forgotten piece of choreography. Morgan Thorson's oddly titled and deeply flawed Spaceholder Festival (Oct. 5-7, ODC Theater) took a stab at examining the residue that life imprints on our bodies. Comparing the process of uncovering what is hidden to archeologists' trying to make sense of what they unearth, Thorson partook in an actual dig and used that experience in her choreography. When it came to evaluating the results, she apparently felt that assigning artifacts to the highest bidder was an accurate reflection of reality. So the work's middle section also included two dancers as auctioneers. Spaceholder opened on a quasi-abstract note, evolved into a messy theatricality only to circle back on itself. Screeching machine sounds accompanied uniform dancers being spit out onto the stage as if by an assembly line. They dutifully followed each other, stepping into two against three or horizontal movement patterns. Strangest were their blank faces. They looked as if they were being pulled by something, perhaps an urge to catch what was just out of their reach. Spreading across the stage, they moved in and out of sync with each other. Many small phrases -- a scratch on a leg, a knee opening and closing, a skipping step -- held promises that never were fulfilled. Some were clearly dance-derived; a fourth position picks arts + culture music listings & # " $ $ ! " #$! " %&! '$ ' () !!

But what to make of a wafting hand that approached like a butterfly trying to land? A woman resting on the floor on her side looked like an Odalisque, her smile an invitation to the rest of the group to join her. A finger pointing section, the result of a counting maneuver, evolved into a wheel with the arms being the spokes. Gestures might connect to each other with no apparent logic. With its neutral tone and the dance's accompanying sense of accumulation for its own sake, it became about as involving as watching falling snow after a while. Yet simultaneously fascinating and frustrating was the clarity that these dancers brought to their tasks. At one point, the dancers coalesced into a tight group with arms stretched up as they reached for each other's fingers. That section later returned, except with the dancers passing pieces of foam around. One of them tried to press them into a single shape. The idea of retroactively deciphering meaning may avoid an obvious linear development, but it makes entering a piece very difficult -- perhaps impossible, unless seeing it several times. Part two opened with a promising twist. A dancer was ceremoniously carried in on a blanket and started to throw rubbish -- old shoes, cans, rags, paper -- around the stage as if the items were a goddess' precious gifts. The stuff got kicked around, swept away, and finally ended up on a table, being sorted into what probably was meant to suggest legible patterns. The gathering and examination of this detritus and using some of it as props may have had its comic elements, but if so most of the humor escaped me. The remembered physicality of the table's effect on the dancers, however, was a lovely touch. Perhaps the evening's most intriguing element came with Max Wirsing, the company's lone male dancer, who donned silver sandals and paraded around while covered by a tablecloth. Later he repeated the gesture of closing the clasp around his ankle. It was clearly a movement that had entered his body. As for me, I was grateful when the last of this unearthed material -- a single dancer -- was blanketed by the dark falling onto the stage. 2 on the cheap film listings classifieds 32 SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN editorials news food + Drink stage listings arts + culture: film/lit IrwIn yaBlans and JaMIe lee CurTIs on The seT oF Halloween (1978). The BIg show By Cheryl eddy firstname.lastname@example.com FIlM/lIT Any horror fan can tell you that John Carpenter directed and co-wrote 1978's Halloween. But it would require a slightly more credits-obsessed moviegoer to recognize the name of behindthe-scenes maestro Irwin Yablans. In addition to being Halloween's producer, Yablans was also responsible for cult classics like Tourist Trap (1979), Roller Boogie (1979), and Hell Night (1981). His new autobiography, The Man Who Created Halloween: How a Bit of Desperation and Inspiration Gave Birth to the Movie That Changed Hollywood (selfpublished, 259 pp., $16.95), traces his path from Brooklyn childhood to Hollywood player. Along the way, he served in the army, met the love of his life, feuded with his brother (fellow film producer Frank Yablans), and -- on a flight from London to Los Angeles -- had a brilliant brainwave about babysitters being stalked by a killer on the scariest night of the year. I spoke with Yablans, who turned 78 this year, over the phone from Southern California. San Francisco Bay Guardian What inspired you to write a memoir? Irwin Yablans I kind of kept quiet about all this stuff through the years because I was only involved in the first three [ Halloween films]. I was really not able to gauge the public's insatiable appetite for Michael Myers! And I got tired of it after awhile. I wanted to do other things. But I came back into the picture because there was a lot of misinformation and revisionist history floating around, and I thought it was time I talked about it. Then, I decided editorials news food + Drink 1JPOFFSJOHQSPEVDFS*SXJO:BCMBOTUBMLT CBTFCBMM EJTDP BOEIJTGBWPSJUFIPMJEBZ it, but I found out that if I went with them, not only would they get a large portion of the receipts, but they don't put any money up, or do any publicity or advertising. So I said to myself, "Why do I need them?" [I found] CreateSpace on the internet, and I've had the most amazing experience. Independence is sort of in my blood. I like doing things myself, [even] my own public relations. You read in the book why we chose Jamie Lee Curtis [for Halloween ] -- when I met Jamie, I knew she was a fine actress, but I had this vision of getting a photo of her mother, Janet Leigh, and putting Jamie in a similar pose, and submitting it to AP and UPI. We got worldwide publication of that. And that's the kind of thing I did all the way through with Halloween. You just have to take every opportunity to publicize the picture. Of course, John Carpenter made a very good movie. SFBG I have to ask about Roller Boogie. It's a midnight-movie favorite in San Francisco. IY No kidding! [Laughs.] You know what's great about that movie? The music! Earth, Wind, and Fire ... it's just a delightful little movie. Just great fun. I think I had more fun making that movie than any other movie I made, because it was so uplifting and so bright -- I was on roller skates with my whole family during the shoot. I love the "Boogie Wonderland" number, and Linda Blair was such a charmer. I tell you, the `70s and `80s were a lot of fun for me. I was so busy, making movies, distributing movies, and running all over the world. It was a great experience.

And Halloween is going out into 1,000 theaters on Halloween this year -- that's amazing! When I came up with the little idea on an airplane 35 years ago, little did I know. [Laughs.] There's a lesson to be learned from that: never underestimate the possibilities of a good idea. Don't ever assume that because you thought of it, it might not be good. You have to believe in yourself. [Pauses.] Before I go any further, I have to make a confession: I am a Giants fan. And I have been since 1947, because I was a Giants fan in New York. I was at the Polo Grounds in 1951 and watched Bobby Thomson hit that home run -- in case you don't know what that is, it's the most famous moment in baseball history. I still watch the Giants every day. And I'll tell you, they look pretty good this year! SFBG Why did you decide to go the self-publishing route? IY Well, I'd never written a book before. I'd always done a little writing for the movies, but about seven or eight years ago I thought I'd sit down with my computer and peck away. The first word I wrote was "cockroaches." [Laughs.] I wanted to write for my family -- I thought I'd leave behind some musings about my life that might be interesting for my kids and my grandchildren. About 50 or 60 pages in, I showed it to some people I respect and they said, "You ought to think about publishing this." When I got close to the end, I submitted it to a couple of publishers. I'd never been part of that world before -- [and I realized it] was just like how I got into my independent film company.

Rumors percolated that Affleck and Matt Damon hadn't really written that Oscar-winning script for 1997's Good Will Hunting -- though Damon's career was bearing more fruit at the time (see: 2002's The Bourne Identity), the "Jenny From the Block" video was nauseating enough to make anyone question the authenticity of anything Affleck-associated up to that point. But in 2012, it's clear the guy who was able to balance being a Kevin Smith muse with getting pumped up to star in Armageddon (1998) was all along plotting the oldest show biz career trajectory in the book: he really wanted to direct. And thank goodness for that. Argo opens with a vintage Warner Bros. logo and offers a quick history lesson via storyboards and old news footage. If you don't know the particulars of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, you won't be an expert after Argo, but the film does a good job of capturing America's fearful reaction to the events that followed it -- particularly the hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. Argo zeroes in on the fate of six embassy staffers who managed to flee to the home of the sympathetic Canadian ambassador (Victor Garber). Back in Washington, short-tempered CIA agents (including a top-notch Bryan Cranston) cast about for ways to rescue them. Most of the standby "exfil" tactics (give `em fake identities as English teachers!) are out of the question given the political climate in Iran. Crazier ideas begin to surface. Could the staffers, uh, ride bikes to the Turkish border, maybe? Three hundred miles...in the winter? Enter Tony Mendez (Affleck), exfil specialist and father to a youngster wrapped up in the era's sci-fi craze (21st century Jedi will weep at the boy's mint-condition toy collection). It's while watching 1973's Battle for the Planet of the Apes on TV that Tony comes up with what Cranston's character calls "the best bad idea we have:" the CIA will fund a phony Canadian movie production 4FWFOUJFT UISJMMFS�"SHP�JT "GGMFDL�TCFTUZFU in "don't taLK aBout drones on teLeVision" FRI Oct 12 FUXA (Detroit) 9:30pm $8 Bloom, Disappearing People SAT Oct 13 DREAMDATE 9:30pm $7 Sort of Invisible, Dreamsalon SUN Oct 14 9:30pm FREE MON Oct 15 9:30pm FREE (Seattle, ex-Love Tan, A-Frames), Hoxton Mob DINOSAURS OF COMEDY THURSDAY 10/18 - SATURDAY 10/20 Winner of Last ComiC standing!

Tony will sneak in, deliver the necessary fakeID documents, and escort them out. Neither his superiors, nor the six in hiding, have much faith in the idea. ("Is this the part where we say, `It's so crazy it just might work?'" someone asks, beating the clich� to the punch.) Argo never lets you forget that lives are at stake; we see the Ayatollah's men scrambling to piece together the identities of the embassy workers even as Tony arrives in Tehran, where he observes a victim of mob justice swinging from a noose over a main street. Every painstakingly forged form, every bluff past a checkpoint official, the anxiety increases, to the point of being laid on a bit thick by the end. The film has the benefit of being both timely (with US-Iran relations stormy as ever) and entertaining, and though it's not a masterpiece, it's Affleck's best directorial effort to date. He's capable with the secret-agent suspense stuff, and is careful not to make generalizations about the Iranians depicted in the film. But, appropriately enough given the source, Argo comes alive in its Hollywood scenes. As show-biz veterans who mull over Tony's plan with a mix of Tinseltown cynicism and patriotic duty, John Goodman and Alan Arkin practically burst with in-joke brio. I could have watched an entire movie just about those two. Argo is Affleck's third film -- the first not set in Boston, and the second that Affleck himself stars in. Though he cast his brother, Casey Affleck, in 2007's Gone Baby Gone, he gave himself the lead in 2010's The Town, a decision that ended up being one of the film's weak links. ("Oh look," my movie going companion pointed out during The Town's forced-soulful denouement. "He escaped to Beardlandia!") But his turn in Argo is, refreshingly, more or less vanity-free -- just one gratuitous shirtless scene! -- a hopeful sign that Affleck the actor may finally be giving Affleck the director the upper hand. 2 ARGO opens Fri/12 in Bay Area theaters.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
