Pietro Belluschi

Pietro Belluschi was an Italian-born Portland architect. 
After his start in the office of A. E. Doyle, Belluschi co-founded (with John Yeon) the "Northwest style" of residential architecture. He designed a large number of buildings in Portland and Salem, including a few landmarks. His 1947 Equitable Building was the first modernist curtain-wall tower of its kind in the entire county, predating the better-known Lever House in New York City. 
After moving to head the MIT Department of Architecture in 1951, Belluschi rose to an international reputation as designer, teacher, and consultant, but kept his ties to Portland. He was bluntly critical of Michael Graves' Portland Building. In semi-retirement he returned here to build a handful of inexpensive churches. 
Among Belluschi's Portland designs are:
* the original Portland Art Museum building on the South Park Blocks, 1932
* the Zion Lutheran Church, 1950
* the Psychology Building at Reed College
* the chapel at Riverview Cemetery
* the chapel at University of Portland

== A Dance Company is Born ==
Polaris Dance Company is a non-profit arts organization that emerged in Portland in 2002.Polaris Dance Theatre, Polaris Dance Company Manta profile. Robert Guitron, the artistic director, was approached by four dancers after one of his classes in 2002, and they asked him if they could start a company together. Guitron told the dancers that there was not enough money to start a company, but the dancers told him that they would work for free. They started a fundraiser and managed to have their first performance and PSU's Lincoln Performance Hall for under $7,000.
A review of "REPO," a production Polaris staged in December 2010, asserted the production "has beauty but lacks clarity." The same reviewer did admire the "company's sheer energy: these dancers are in terrific shape."Dance review: Polaris Dance Theatre's 'Repo' has beauty but lacks clarity Polaris Dance Company applies the emotions felt in everyday life to the choreography they perform onstage. The members of the company also teach classes at the Polaris Dance Studio (1051 SW Taylor), and support all ranges of dance ability. To peruse a list of classes, see the class schedule available at the Polaris web site.

Politics in Portland

Portland Politics can affect everyone in the Portland metropolitan area.
Politics in the city and the metro area varies widely. While most of Portland proper is very liberal, most of the outlying areas are for the most part, just like Eastern Oregon--very conservative. 
Clackamas & Yamhill Counties are usually the most conservative, while Multnomah and Clark ( Vancouver, WA area ) counties are the most liberal. Washington County usually votes approximately 50% for either party.
VIP's to Portland are usually democrats ( both former President Bill Clinton, and former First Lady Hillary Clinton during her 2008 campaign, former VP Al Gore, 2004 Democratic Nominee, John Kerry as well as his running mate, John Edwards, and current President Barack Obama. )
 
Conservatives who have recently made the trip to Portland to campaign include former NYC Mayor, Rudy Guiliani as well as the 2008 Republican Nominee, John McCain.
City and regional political office positions are usually democratic as well, including current Portland mayor, Sam Adams.

Portland's nicknames

Like many cities, Portland has acquired a variety of nicknames over its history. Here is a list of some of the more common ones:
* Stumptown -- "Stumptown" is a common nickname for the city of Portland. It is the city's oldest nickname, with its use being started in the 1840s, before Portland had even received a city charter. When Portland was first platted, the trees where streets were being created were simply being chopped down, and their stumps left in the ground. Development of the young city was happening so fast that buildings were being built on streets, while no one had bothered to remove the tree stumps. This led citizens and proprietors of other nearby townships (such as Oregon City and Milwaukie) to derogatorily dismiss Portland as a "stumptown". After the city was incorporated in 1851, the streets were quickly improved, but the nickname stuck. Today, many businesses invoke the Stumptown nickname, such as Stumptown Printers and Stumptown Coffee.
* Bridgetown
* City of Roses
* P-Town
* People's Republic of Portland
* PDX -- after the airport code for the Portland International Airport
* Rose City

Palomar natural gas pipeline proposal withdrawn
Citing recession-caused lack of demand, NW Natural has withdrawn its controversial proposal for the Palomar pipeline, a natural gas pipeline that would have cut through federally protected and environmentally sensitive Mt. Hood lands and destroyed the livelihoods of farmers and other landowners. However, NW Natural says they plan on resuming their lobbying, with perhaps a different route through the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, when demand increases. Local environmentalist organization Bark has promised to "not stand by... even if they reroute their pipe through the Warm Springs Reservation."

You're Sixteen. You're Beautiful. And You're Ours.You're Sixteen
When the World Wide Web's creator unveiled the world's first Web site on Hiroshima Day (August 6th) 1991, the browser for this marvelous "new Gutenberg" also functioned as a Web editor. Tim Berners-Lee intended that people contribute content to the Web, not merely consume it.Why You Don't Surf The 'Mesh' -- Web's Inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, Is Spilling The Details Of Its Creation But "free market" forces--with its legions of dull, consumption-addled consumer militias functioning as its loyal enforcers--had other plans. They quickly kicked aside the "write" portion of the read-write Web. In the blink of a million glazed-over eyeballs Berners-Lee's invention, running atop the Internet's narrowband pipes, began choking on a wretched bile of pernicious porn, fly-by-night shopping malls, malicious malware, spying webbots, deranged script kiddies and oily cyberhucksters selling Internet bubbles. By March 25, 1995 Portlandian codegeek Ward Cunningham had had enough, and came to the rescue by putting the "write" back into the read-write Web. Cunningham unveiled the world's first wiki.WikiWikiWeb, the first wikiWiki History Today that wiki turns sweet sixteen.Wiki Birthday In these bleak times--as multinational media conglomerates and their corrupt political operatives work feverishly to stuff the Internet and its World Wide Web into a pay-to-surf cesspoolNet Neutrality 101--Wiki's sweet sixteen birthday gives the read-write world something to genuinely celebrate.

Nuclear power has not treated the Japanese people kindly. First, the power of exploding nuclear bombs, dropped from U.S. warplanes, killed hundreds of thousands of Japan's people towards the end of World War Two. Then, earlier this month, Japanese people got another bitter taste of nuclear catastrophe as an ongoing series of massive reactor failures began plaguing the Fukushima nuclear power plants in the wake of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011. On Monday, March 28th, you have an opportunity to Stand with Japan and show your empathy for and solidarity with the people there.

Oregon push to legalize selling marijuana to adults over 21 begins
Yesterday, state approval was given to begin collecting signatures to put "OCTA 2012" ("Oregon Cannabis Tax Act 2012") on the ballot, which would regulate the legal sale of marijuana to adults through state-licensed stores, allow adults to grow their own, license Oregon farmers to grow marijuana for state-licensed stores, and allow unlicensed Oregon farmers to grow cannabis hemp for fuel, fiber and food." Organizers of the campaign started work immediately, canvassing for the 90,000 signatures they will need to put OCTA 2012 on the ballot. According to the organizers, OCTA 2012 would raise $140 million for Oregon a year in taxes from commercial cannabis sales, and save an estimated $61.5 million from law enforcement, corrections, and the justice system. Campaigners hope that Oregon's looming massive budget cuts and economic woes will provide the impetus for Oregon to become the first state to legalize cannabis outside of a medical marijuana context.

== Global Day of Action on Military Spending ==
== When / Where ==
* Tuesday, April 12, 2011
* 8:00 PM
* Corvallis-Benton County Public Library
* Corvallis, OR
== Direct action to show our priorities for our tax dollars. ==
=== More details: ===
Due to budget shortfalls, Corvallis has had to cut back the days and hours of operation of its public library. Other city services are on the chopping block as well: the senior center, the arts center, the aquatic center, jobs programs, youth shelter, a fire station, public works, and many more. Our City Council has to find $3 million dollars to cut and most of it will come from parks and recreation and public works. Corvallis loves its library! We also love having adequate police and fire protection, good schools, little league, parks, and all the other things that make our town a wonderful place to live. The citizens of Corvallis would much rather spend $3 million dollars to fully fund our municipal budget than to pay for 3 soldiers to be in Afghanistan for a year. Corvallis residents have already paid over $115 million for the wars and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we are sick of having our tax dollars spent on war and militarism rather than on schools, health care, housing and libraries. So, the plan for this action is to gather as many people as possible to occupy the public library and to "keep it open." The message is that "We love our library and this is where we want our money spent!" When it is time for the library to close for the day, we won't leave. The idea is not to "shut it down" (as with some sit-ins/take-overs), but rather to "keep it open." This idea could work with other services as well--the seniors refuse to leave the senior center at closing time, kids refuse to get out of the swimming pool--you get the idea. This action could provoke an arrest situation, but for those who are not interested in risking arrest, they could hand out fliers outside of the facility, or have a demonstration/chanting etc.
