Despite her long, prolific and accomplished career, Weil's work has seldom garnered the recognition it deserves. In the past, her talent was often overshadowed by the fame of contemporaries, not least of all by her former husband Robert Rauschenberg, whom she met while studying at the Académie Julian in Paris.
In 1948 Weil attended Black Mountain College, then one of the most vital centers of artistic activity in the United States. Rauschenberg followed her there, and later the two moved to New York, where they shared in the explosive emergence of the New York arts scene in the 1950s along with friends like de Kooning, Kline, Tworkov and Pollock.
She spoke to Magdalene Perez at the Sundaram Tagore Gallery in New York, where her retrospective Now and Then is currently on view.
As an artist, you've never been afraid of experimenting, have you? Whether you're taking your paintings into the third dimension and exploring space or …
Growing up in art in the 1950s when Abstract Expressionism was kind of blowing all the rules, it gave you a sense of possibility: You didn't have to be hemmed in by a square or something. You could really make these things move.
At Black Mountain College, where we [visual artists] shared our thoughts with poets and people in music, you could learn to sort of lose the tight rules of painting. My work can be a cross between painting and sculpture or it can move out from the walls.
Over the course of your career, you've never felt a need to stick to any certain discipline or style. But how would you characterize some of the aesthetic constants in your work?
I always thought of my work as leaning toward sculpture. It's a passion of mine to not have a still picture but to have it involved with movement and time.
Certainly the world was different for me in the 1950s and '60s than it is now. But there are certain elements in my work that are pretty constant. I grew up on an island, so the horizon was a very powerful element to me, the sea and the sky.
You were a student at Académie Julian in the 1940s, where some of the most important artists of the last 150 years have studied. How important was that time on your development as an artist?
Paris was a marvelous thing. I mean, I was eighteen! But Julian was restrictive [in its teaching methods]. You know—a model stood there for a week for you to draw [laughs].
So your work really began to develop after moving to Black Mountain?
At Black Mountain, [painting director] [Josef] Albers was himself another kind of academy. He came from the Bauhaus and he had a way of teaching art and a way of teaching color and drawing, and you couldn't go exploring. He'd say, "When you're in school, you're not an artist, you're a student." Then he was very freethinking when people became artists after their schooling and went on their own journeys.
It sounds like Black Mountain was an incredible place for artists at the time.
It was wonderful to be a part of this whole community that involved artists and writers and musicians. You didn't feel like it was just the tip of your paintbrush; it was this whole creative world.
You and Robert Rauschenberg were there together. Talk about some of the collaborative work you did with him.
We did a number of things together. The most well-known one is the Blueprints series [life-sized silhouettes captured on photo-sensitive blueprint paper with the help of a lamp], and we did a couple of other things. But my best collaboration with Bob is my son Christopher [the well-known photographer]. He's my favorite collaboration. He's a great kid… kid, he's now he's in his 50s.
It's difficult to find monographs about your work or even in-depth biographical information about you despite the fact that you've been an established artist for decades. Do you think that your place as a woman artist has anything to do with that?
Absolutely. When I was growing up in art, women artists were really overlooked. Also there was an age thing. At the time, you couldn't be young and be worth your salt, so by the time I was of a respectable age, then you had to be young [laughs].
It's complicated. I've always shown and I've had very good support from various people. I was well received in Sweden. My gallerist there, Anders Tornberg, loved my work and believed in my work and arranged for shows all over Europe.
Why do you think it is that you've had large, solo exhibitions and retrospectives in Europe and even North Dakota, yet it seems that New York museums still haven't approached the idea of a retrospective—even though this is where you grew up?
It's a leftover of these different prejudices. And also, if you're not already a big famous deal by the time you're 50, people think, "Well, if you're not going to make it by now, you're not going to make it."
You worked for a period of about 20 years on a series of James Joyce drawings. Why that degree of depth of personal investment?
I had the opportunity to do three limited-edition books of Joyce with [publisher] Vincent Fitzgerald, so I got deep into reading because you can't think of making images to words if you don't know the words really well.
Joyce is such a powerful writer and I respond to that sliding into dreamland and the shifts in time. It's so moving. I find his writing so meaningful and powerful, and I began a deeper study because I was invited to do these books. Then I took [his writings] into my studio with me and did a lot of the Joyce paintings.
I've heard you were exposed to Joyce early in your life.
Well, in my childhood, my father was a writer and he did read to us, unbelievably, from Finnegans Wake when I was a child [laughs]. But I loved it because I loved the music of it and I understood it was his passion and so I thought it was important to me. Of course I didn't understand a word, being a child, but when I went back to it as an adult I felt that same kind of response to the music of it and the journey of Joyce. It really struck me.

The Pirates don't have a whole lot to look forward to this season with the trading of so many of the best players on the team recently, such as Freddy Sanchez, Jason Bay, and Jack Wilson.
With the loss of closer Matt Capps, the bullpen is absolutely nothing, as well as a rotation anchored by either Paul Maholm or Zach Duke.
But a few bright spots, like young players Andrew McCutchen and Garrett Jones, at least give loyal Pirates fans something to look forward to.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.1 /5 from 317 reviews
This hotel offers all the necessities and the best part is the location. We were able to walk to just about everything or take the train (which are also easy to navigate). The room we had was not the most spacious but then we were not in Paris to lounge in our room. Service was very good for cleanliness and keeping our rooms with new towels etc. I would recommend this hotel you like walking and seeing the sights on foot (or you pay the price and take busses or trains). We enjoyed walking from the Eiffel Tower to Notra Dome and we are in our sixties. This was our second visit to Paris and this time on our own - Much Better this time around.
Even the rooms are not too big, the interior is nice as well as the bathroom. I like that rooms are very quiet. Even through my room was next to the elevator, I did not hear it, or anything else for that matter. And breakfirst was good.
Everything was excellent apart from the cramped breakfast room and the very smart modern but 'too clever for me' shower taps. Give me good old hot and cold taps tgat are easy to adjust.

Each term African and African American Studies sponsors the Angelina Weld Grimké lecture series and at least one additional event or lecture.
Angelina Weld Grimké (February 27, 1880 – June 10, 1958) was the first African American female student to attend the Carleton Academy, a preparatory school that was a part of the college campus from 1866 to 1906. She went on to be an American journalist, teacher, playwright and poet who came to prominence during the Harlem Renaissance; she was one of the first African-American women to have a play publicly performed. A list of previous Grimke Lectures can be found here.
Convocation: Shelton Johnson
From site: Convocations
Shelton Johnson is the author of Gloryland, the fictional memoir of a buffalo soldier – a black U.S. cavalryman and the son of slaves – who finds true freedom when he is posted to patrol the newly created Yosemite National Park in 1903. Johnson is an advocate for bringing minorities, particularly African-Americans from the inner city, like himself, to the National Parks and connect them to the natural world. He claims that "one of the great losses to African culture from slavery was the loss of kinship with the earth." Although he was born in Detroit and spent much of his childhood there, early on he briefly lived in Germany where his father was stationed in the Army. A family trip to the Bavarian Alps planted a seed in him, a seed that was kept alive only through later experiences with nature via television and movie screens. He dreamed of mountains as a boy growing up in Detroit. While doing graduate study in poetry at the University of Michigan, Johnson applied to be a seasonal worker at Yellowstone thinking the park would provide a quiet place to work on his writing. That visit would change the course of his life and his career, which has spanned twenty-five years as a ranger with the National Park Service. He dedicated his work to this issue when he came upon the history of Buffalo Soldiers (the African-American regiments of the segregated U.S. Army at the turn of the 20th century) in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. For the past fifteen years Johnson has told the story of the Buffalo Soldiers in print, on camera, and in person. He has traveled to public schools throughout America, tracked down descendants of the soldiers, and authored an award-winning website. All the while, he has remained true to the reason he started this work. "I can't forget that little black kid in Detroit," he says. "And I think of the other kids, just like me – in Detroit, Oakland, Watts, Anacostia – today. How do I get them here? How do I let them know that our national parks are part of their heritage, and that they own them like all Americans?" The title of his presentation is "Gloryland: Using History and Literature as Tools for Social Change."

School choice shouldn't just be about "which one" but also about "what kind or how much or even whether or not," writes Michael Mazenko in the Denver Post.
American education is almost exclusively designed to prepare students for university study and bachelor degrees. Even kindergarten teachers talk to kids and parents about "college readiness." The added emphasis on STEM subjects in recent years narrows the focus even more.
Excluded from the system, however, are students who would prefer to learn a trade and work in skilled labor. Excluded are the kids who focus predominantly on the arts. Excluded are students who won't sit passively in rows for 12 years completing worksheets and bubbling in standardized tests. Excluded are many children who don't fit the "common" profile with "common" goals and standardized dreams.
Public education "should be offered as an opportunity," writes Mazenko, a high school English teacher. It shouldn't be a "mandate."

Sludge can build up in the engine because Lexus did not recommend frequent enough oil changes. Lexus will sometimes offer a discount on cleaning the engine if necessary. Owners who changed their oil every 3,000 miles did not experience these problems. This sludge build up can lead to excessive oil consumption.

Komyo Reiki Kai
Hyakuten Inamoto is a non-sectarian, Japanese Buddhist monk from Kyoto, Japan. He studied all levels of Reiki with Chiyoko Yamaguchi, a student of Chujiro Hayashi. Hayashi was a student of Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki Ryoho.
After learning from Yamaguchi and doing much research into the original teachings, Inamoto developed the Komyo Reiki Kai system in 1998 and began holding classes.
Internationally known as an authority on Reiki, Inamoto has been an invaluable consultant and translator to many authors including "The Reiki Sourcebook", by Bronwen and Frans Stiene, and "REIKI – A Comprehensive Guide", by Pamela Miles.
Komyo Reiki Kai® follows the teachings of Usui Sensei and focuses on healing not only the body, but most importantly, the soul or spirit. Usui believed that with spiritual improvement, the body would naturally be better capable of healing itself. Inamoto shares this belief.
Komyo = Great light or enlightenment
Reiki = Energy of the Universe
Kai = Association or group
Komyo Reiki Kai®, the system Inamoto has created, presents Reiki as it was understood and commonly practiced in the 1930's in Japan. This system places emphasis on spiritual development through the practice of Reiki Ryoho, aiming for "satori" or enlightenment.
Komyo Reiki is a "keep-it-simple" Reiki system and practice. Our practice motto is: "Place your hands, Surrender, and Smile."
There are four levels in the Komyo Reiki Kai system:
- Shoden: This introduction to Reiki teaches the basics of hands-on healing for self, family and friends, as well as energetic concepts, spiritual principles, and meditations to support your practice.
- Chuden: This intermediate level teaches Japanese healing techniques for focusing energy, mental/emotional healing, and distance healing. Additional traditional Japanese energetic and meditative practices are taught for personal and spiritual growth.
- Okuden: This advanced level places emphasis on inner growth and the deeper spiritual aspects of Reiki Ryoho. Okuden training is intended for potential Teacher/Shihan candidates, and students must fulfill certain prerequisites first. However, anyone who has maintained a consistent practice with Komyo Reiki (including daily self-treatment and regular treatment on others) and participated regularly in Reiki-related activities (workshops, group practice nights, etc) is eligible to take training for personal growth.
- Shinpiden: This level is for those intending to teach Komyo Reiki and become a Certified Shihan (Master Teacher). Candidates must sit for an interview to discuss their practice, be certified in all levels of Komyo Reiki, demonstrate a deep understanding of Reiki, have consistently practiced Reiki on themselves and others, and complete an apprenticeship program.

If you found a hole out in the grass while exploring, and inside the hole was a meteoroid, and poking out of the meteoroid was a button, you'd probably push it, wouldn't you? (I would. Zita did.)

Zita's best friend Joseph has been kidnapped by a cult of aliens who believe the world is about to end... and the button that brought both her and Joseph to this alien world is crushed accidentally by a huge alien named Strong-Strong.
So now Zita's totally stuck on an alien planet that apparently is about to come to an end, her best friend has been kidnapped, AND she has no way to get home.

Real Madrid had a perfect chance on Saturday to not only cement their place ahead of Atletico, but to make up points on Barcelona. Los Blancos did not seize the opportunity, however, and are in danger of falling back to third in the table.

"When Sanders officially announced in April that he would be challenging Clinton in the Democratic primary, he was quickly dismissed as a fringe candidate. As detailed by the Columbia Journalism Review, his announcement got 18 seconds on ABC Evening News (five of those seconds devoted to a welcome-to-the-race tweet from Clinton), a single sentence on CBS Evening News, and a 700-word story on page A21 of The New York Times. By contrast, the announcement of fellow senator Ted Cruz — apparently far less of a "fringe" figure than Sanders, despite his open sympathizing with conspiracy theorists who are convinced President Obama is staging military exercises in Texas as part of a plot to impose martial law on the state — ran on the front page of the Times, above the fold, at more than double the length of the Sanders story."
The key in a lot of these decisions is understanding that profit motive doesn't work well when applied to everything. Some things are better off being not-for-profit, and/or publicly controlled. Healthcare and education suffer under for-profit schemes. Infrastructure is a common resource and should be publicly funded and have public oversight. Anything that becomes relied upon for basic well being, or even, arguably, ubiquitous enough to be placed in "the commons," should probably be socialized to some extent. I'd even make the argument that banks should be not-for-profit, but could remain private companies (and certainly decoupled from financial speculation and investment firms). Health insurance is an inherently immoral industry, and universal healthcare should replace it.
There is a lot of middle-ground that can be taken up by co-ops, not-for-profits, and publicly run structures. Ultimately, "for-profit" is currently painted onto everything and that is destructive to the greater well-being (healthcare, education, environment, etc).

Video Generation
with Atmel Mega644 and GCC
A television (TV) monitor is a good example of a device which needs hard-realtime control. The TV is controlled by periodic synchronization (sync) pulses. If a sync pulse is late, the TV picture quality suffers. So a late calculation is worth nothing. The Atmel AVR mcus are fast enough to generate black and white (but not color) sync and image content, as long as you obsessively pay attention to the time required for every operation.
Small TV monitors also seem to be one of the cheapest graphics devices you can buy, include audio amplifiers and speakers, and are designed to be almost bullet-proof. A perfect lab device.
Video Generation
There are several very good references for understanding how TVs are controlled by a pulse sequence. I particularly liked the Stanford EE281 Handout #7 entitled "TV paint". Also very useful were Software generated video, by Rickard Gunée, Video Tutorials by Glen A. Williamson, and various excellent projects by Alberto Riccibitti. Mark Oreglia, Professor, Department of Physics at The University of Chicago and The Enrico Fermi Institute was kind enough to allow me to post a full interlaced, NTSC sync driver.
The goal is to generate non-interlaced, black and white video,
with enough image content to be interesting as a graphics device. The software
described here implements an NTSC-rate, non-interlaced, video signal. For ease
of teaching, I wanted as much of the code as possible to be in C, with litttle
or no assembler. The current version of the code is entirely in GCC and assembler.
There are several versions with different horizontal and vertical resolution. See the examples below. There are utilities for drawing lines, points, and text, and for reading
back the screen color. The raster generation code needs to run fast to get good
pixel density. Once the TV gets to the bottom line displayed (ScreenBot), there is some extra time to do
computations, interact with users, or update state. All drawing must be done
during TV scan lines which are not used for actually drawing to avoid visual artifacts. Drawing is
done by writing bits (pixels) into the main
screen array, while
the array is not being displayed. The drawing utilities described below write
to screen memory for you.
Video DAC
Two bits of a port are used to generate three video levels:
The circuit shown below connects the Mega644 to the TV.
Program Organization
The programs linked below have four main parts:
void video_pt((char x, char y, char c)
Draw a point into video memory. Specify the position x,y (y increasing downward) and the color with black=0, white=1, and xor=2. You can draw about 500 points in one frame time. See examples below for allowed x,y ranges.
char video_set((char x, char y)
|Read back a point from video memory. A white point will read back as a nonzero value (actually the bit within the video memory byte which is being checked).
void video_line(char x1, char y1, char x2, char y2,
char c)
|Draw a line into video memory. The line extends from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) with a color as above. Uses a Breshenham algorithm for speed. You can draw about 500 points worth of lines in one frame time.
void video_putchar(char x, char y, char c)
|Draw a 5x7 character at (x,y) with ascii character code c. The coordinates represent the upper-left corner of the character. You can draw about 16 5x7 characters in one frame time.
void video_smallchar(char x, char y, char c)
|Draw a 3x5 character at (x,y) with character number c. The x coordinate must be divisible by 4. The coordinates represent the upper-left corner of the character. You can draw about 200 3x5 characters in one frame time.
void video_puts(char x, char y, char *str)
|Draw a 5x7 string starting at (x,y). The coordinates represent the upper-left corner of the first character. You can draw about 16 5x7 characters in one frame time.
void video_putsmalls(char x, char y, char *str)
|Draw a 3x5 string starting at (x,y). The x coordinate must be divisible by 4. The coordinates represent the upper-left corner of the first character. You can draw about 100 3x5 characters in one frame time.
For the most part, you should not have to mess with any of the code before
the main routine in the examples below. If you need to perfrom some fast function
15,750 times/sec (perhaps sample the A/D converter to make a digital scope),
you could put code at the end of the timer1 ISR. For all examples, be sure to set the GCC project configuration (in the
Project:ConfigureOptions... menu) to:
In the examples below, there are various resolutions available. Higher resolution uses more RAM and takes more time to refresh the TV (60 times/sec). There are formats which have higher resolution horizionally or vertically. There are 16 and 20 MHz versions. In the 16 MHz versions, there is a one or two cycle inaccuracy in the width of pixels. This slight inaccuracy is usually not noticable. Using a 20 MHz crystal allows pixel-exact timing (or higher horizontal pixel density) and more cycles for building applicaitons. You can choose the format appropriate to your task.
All of the examples require the 8:8 fixed point multiply routine.
0≤x≤143 and
0≤y≤199. Note that there is a small timing compromise which causes slightly uneven pixel widths, which is fixed in the 20 MHz version.
0≤x≤191 and
0≤y≤149. Note that there is a small timing compromise which causes slightly uneven pixel widths which, is fixed in the 20 MHz version.
Video code modified to use the USART as a pixel shift register
This version of the code is sets the USART into MSIPM mode (SPI master mode) which turns off start/stop bits. The USART transmit-double-buffer makes it possible to stream pixels at a uniform rate without assembler, just by writing a fairly fast loop. With a 20 MHz crystal, the pixel rate is 5 MHz (up from 4 MHz for the assembler code). The SYNC signal is now on pin D.0 and the video on pin D.1. The format is 192h x 150v, but could be set to other values. This code also uses a separate timer interrupt to put the MCU to sleep so that main does not have to. The result is that application code can run faster because frame calculations do not have to be precisely timed to fit between frames. A 160h x 160v version has a better aspect ratio and leaves about 800 bytes of RAM free. With more memory, the pixel rate could be set to 10 MHz for a very dense horizontal display.

The first half of 2011 is now in the rear vision mirror so it may be a good time to revisit some predictions laid out earlier in the year and see how they stack up. Here is what I said at the beginning of the year:
I don't doubt we could get a 14 handle on the S&P500 sometime in 2011, I would suspect we will have a good market for the first half of the year but run into trouble in the second half. I'm looking for low to mid single digit gains for the year which will be disappointing for most.
We came close to a 14 handle in early May with the S&P500 hitting 1370 intra-day. The recent bounce into late June early July could take us back to those levels and perhaps 1400. Whether the S&P500 gets to 1400 this year is not important to my medium term outlook. I continue to believe we are in a cyclical bull market within a secular bear market. The history of cyclical bulls within secular bears suggests the current bull is getting long in the tooth. In terms of both duration and percentage gain this cyclical bull within a secular bear market is longer than average and has gained more than average.
Admittedly 12 data points is not a huge sample size to go on but it is worth noting that only 3 of the 12 bull markets in the table above were of longer duration than the current one. Also, the average is skewed somewhat thanks to the 2002 – 2007 bull market. Of course that bull market was characterized by unusually low interest rates for an extended period, sound familiar? Still, my view is that a bear market will happen sometime in the next 12 months quite possibly presaging another recession. If not and the market grinds higher, prospective long term returns in the 7 – 10 year time horizon will be mediocre, at best, given the level of overvaluation that already exists in the market today.

Pulling Up Few More Main Street Garden -- and Downtown Dallas Park -- Details
The Lily Pad cafe and the light-sculpture canopies, part of the Main Street Garden scheduled to open next month
More than a few Friends of Unfair Park have asked privately and in the comments of yesterday's Main Street Garden sneak peek how the city expects to deal with the homeless. So happens, that was one thing Willis Winters and I discussed toward the end of our tour (along with the state of future park programs scheduled for downtown). So, then, his answer:
DowntownDallas's Safety Patrol Officers will keep watch over the park, as will Dallas Police officers; there will also be six security cameras perched above Main Street Garden. But Winters says he really doesn't expect the park to be a magnet for the homeless: "Homeless people don't like to congregate where there's a lot of activity, and we think there are so many things going on in the park -- the dog run, the tot lot, the cafe, the garden shelter, the students from the University of Texas law school going into the old Municipal Building -- and the trends suggest they probably won't be hanging out."
He says the homeless will "absolutely not" be asked the leave the park: "So long as they obey park rules, as we ask everyone to do," he says, "they're welcome to be here."
Jump for news about the other downtown parks, but mind the construction.

Main Street Garden is but the first of several downtown parks to open, with Belo Garden the next to follow in 2011, should all go according to plan. But, as we noted last month, there's the not-insignificant issue of soil contamination to deal with. Says Winters, "We'll start remediation next year and turn it over for construction in July or August of next year." About a year after Belo Garden's debut is when the Woodall Rodgers deck park is slated to open.
Then there's Pacific Park. The city owns about 60 percent of the land, but as we mentioned in September, members of the Cockrell family -- heirs of Dallas's earliest settlers -- aren't eager to turn over to the city the rest of the property needed for the park, which the city appears all but ready to seize if they don't want the $2.5 million. Still, there's no rush.
Pacific Park is the "the only park we don't have money to build," Winters says. "That will come either in next bond program. Or, if a developer wants to step forward and build underground parking, which is a gooo combination for a surface park, we'll work a deal with them -- maybe get a park for free in exchange for subsurface parking lots."
And then ... there's Carpenter Plaza on the east side of downtown, which will be part of the reconfigured Central Expressway (or Central Boulevard, as it's now known) project. That'll be three contiguous acres as opposed to three separate chopped-up blocks featuring a rusty wall. Finally.

Our annual look at the seven-year-old festival's class acts.
Each year, the PDX Pop Now! Festival presents us with dozens of reasons to love this city's music scene—some of them old reasons (Rollerball, Autistic Youth) and some of them fresh reasons (Kuisika, O Bruxo). And despite the disparate genres, ages and backgrounds presented at the festival, PDX Pop's annual weekend of free, all-ages music always feels warm and familiar. The haters (why they gotta hate?) say this festival is another example of Portland being in love with Portland: a self-satisfied music scene patting itself on the back each year. Maybe there's some truth to that sentiment—there is a lot of love among these artists, no matter how diverse their music. The whole thing can feel more like a graduation than a festival. But then, that's why we love it. So, for the second year in a row, we've decided to give PDX Pop Now! a yearbook.
Most Likely to Succeed: Skeletron
We're relying on an awful lot of circumstantial evidence to predict that Skeletron's set at PDX Pop Now! will be a big winner. After all, the group's lineup features two (or more, occasionally) members of crazy popular Portland electro-acoustic dance-punk outfit Starfucker—and these apples don't fall far from the tree. You may not hear Starfucker hits like "German Love" or "Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second" at the band's closing set on Sunday night, but you will feel like dancing your ass off. That's a guarantee. (CJ) Sunday, 12:25 am.
Best Hair: Ben Darwish
How does he do it? Local pianist, composer, bandleader and singer-songwriter Ben Darwish isn't just a staple of Portland's jazz scene or a talented artist with crossover appeal—he maintains one of the best and biggest heads of hair in the city, too. That beautiful 'fro isn't just pretty to look at, it's an integral part of Darwish's music: It bounces when he bounces, gyrates when he gyrates. It's almost a show within a show. (CJ) Sunday, 7:35 pm.
Revenge of the Nerd: Da'Rel Junior
It's a testament to Da'Rel Jr.'s instantly recognizable sound and style that he's playing this year's PDX Pop Fest at all: Not Portland's most prolific or popular MC (yet, anyway), Junior is fast on the rise because of his lighthearted rapping style, clean flow and—perhaps most of all—nerdy pedigree. This glasses-and-Chucks-clad MC will not, as he rhymes, "Get shut down by hipsters and gutter punks/ On fixed gears and skinny jeans and Nike dunks." Said hipsters and gutter punks are going to love him. (CJ) Saturday, 7:35 pm.
Most Popular: Hockey
Since electro-punk outfit Hockey released its super radio- and dance floor-friendly debut, Mind Chaos, two years ago, record labels, festivals and DJs on both sides of the Atlantic have been falling over themselves to hang out with these cool new kids. The band's catchy, cheeky New Wave anthem "Too Fake" has been all over TV and the charts, and appearances at Bonnaroo, Reading, Lollapalooza and Glastonbury mean the Portland-based band gets invited to all the best parties. Nice of them to say yes, then, to a non-paying gig at PDX Pop Now! (RB) Saturday, 12:25 am.
Best Dressed: Guantanamo Baywatch
The surf punks from Guantanamo Baywatch have a style every bit as trashy and early-'90s California radical as their name and trippy Cramps-covering-the-Trashmen sound would suggest: badly cut mullets, fluorescent singlets and denim so tight it would make even the Hoff wince. The band's gnarly threads are outdone only by song titles like "Cum Fart Food" and "Titz & Twatz." This is a live band so hot you'll need to wear Wayfarers. (RB) Saturday, 2:05 pm.
Best Makeover: Reporter
When Reporter's Alberta Poon, Dan Grazzini and Mike McKinnon last played the festival in 2008, they were still more likely to earn comparisons to Gang of Four than Glass Candy. But in the past two years the band has transformed itself into a sleek, sexy dance-rock machine, its early indie-rock leanings now joined in bed by Italo disco and French house music. Expect lots of sweat, lasers and a fog machine that hides the awkwardness of grinding against the stranger to your left and right. (MM) Sunday, 9:40 pm.
Best Reunion: Please Step Out of the Vehicle
Travis Wiggins has been one of the leaders of Portland's DIY, all-ages music scene since PPN! started in 2004. Though he plays some weird shit by himself, we've always had a particularly fond spot in our hearts for his beloved garage-pop band, Please Step Out of the Vehicle, which has released some of the most underrated records in town over the past few years. PSOOTV has played just one show the past year and a half, but the band is making a triumphant return for its final show ever this weekend before Wiggins moves to Hawaii. (MM) Sunday, 6:15 pm.
Most Athletic: Joggers
Let's face it: The 2010 PPN! class isn't the most athletic bunch. But this award has to go to Joggers for two reasons: The band's intricate, scale-jogging guitar playing is so muscular it could take any other band in an arm-wrestling match, and drummer Jake Morris and bassist Darrell Bourque are the foundation of Disjecta's all-star bar-league softball team. Joggers didn't play much the past few years but are back recording a new album. Never leave us again! (MM) Saturday, 11:45 pm.
SEE IT: PDX Pop Now! starts Friday, July 30, at 6 pm and runs through Sunday, Aug. 1. See pdxpopnow.com for complete schedule. Rotture. Free. All ages.

Corsair has set up certain procedures so that unaccompanied minors can travel in complete peace and safety.
These differ according to age:
Children under 4 are not allowed to travel alone. They must be accompanied by an able-bodied, independent adult.
Any child aged between 4 and 11 travelling on their own is considered by the company as an unaccompanied minor.
Parents travelling on the same flight:
N.B.: children whose parents or designated responsible adult are travelling on the same flight but in a different cabin may not be considered as Unaccompanied Minors.
In this case, the children and accompanying adults (parents or responsible adults) shall be put together in the same cabin.
This applies to persons aged 12 to 17 (thus legally considered to be minors in most countries, including France) whose parents opt for an identical service to that provided for children covered by the obligatory UM procedure.
To date, it is only possible to opt for the UM service on Corsair flights.
You cannot book tickets for unaccompanied minors on this site.
You must make your booking by telephone or at a Corsair outlet. To look up the list of our outlets, click here.
The person accompanying your child to check-in must complete a discharge of liability, stating their name, address, telephone number and the contact details of the person collecting the passenger upon arrival. The same procedure will be applied for the return flight. The companion must stay at the airport until the aircraft takes off.
A Corsair agent will take your child through the customs and security formalities. They will then have priority boarding, and be left in the capable hands of the chief flight attendant throughout the flight.
Our flight crew pay particular attention to unaccompanied minors to make their flight an unforgettable experience.
Your child is received and treated in line with practices that each crewmember applies seriously:
Of course, our stewards and stewardesses will accompany your child to the toilet door on request, and remain at their call for reassurance throughout the flight.
As an unaccompanied child, young passengers can take a cat or dog with them in the cabin, as long as the animal is in a regulatory closed container. The animal must remain in its container throughout the flight.
After disembarking, the chief flight attendant will leave your child in the capable hands of one of our transfer agents. They are responsible for taking them through the customs and security formalities, and accompanying them to the person picking them up upon arrival.
Our agents can only hand over your child to this person if it is the same person as indicated on the discharge completed upon departure.
Otherwise, Corsair will inform the telephone number figuring on the discharge of liability, and your child will be sent back on the next flight to their point of origin. The return ticket and associated upkeep costs for the child between their arrival and return flight (hotel, meal, transport, etc.) will in this case be charged to the parents or legal guardians.
