GET READY FOR THE
AARON DOUGLAS EXHIBIT
The Spencer Museum of Art will present the "Aaron Douglas: African American Modernist" exhibit until Dec. 2. The exhibit brings together nearly 100 rarely-seen works from public institutions and private collections, as well as portraits of
Douglas, printing plates and sketchbooks. Douglas, who has been called the father of black American art by philosopher and writer Alain Locke, used angular cubist rhythms and captivating art-deco dynamism along with more time-honored African and African American imagery to create an almost utopian ideal in his murals, paintings and sketches.
This Sunday at the Granada, 1020 Mass. St., Cartel, Nightmares of You and Weatherbox will be playing at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the show, which is open to all ages, are $18.
The Spencer Museum of Art is the Douglas exhibit's first stop in a national tour that later will travel
Cartel, which promises a "big rock sound," has sold nearly a quarter of a million copies of its debut album, "Chroma." Its sophomore album, self-titled "Cartel," is in stores now. The band draws on The Beatles,
CARTEL/THE HONORARY
TITLE/WEATHERBOX
Radiohead, The Beach Boys and Led Zeppelin as its inspiration, and has been playing together since 2000.
The Honorary Title is a indie rock band that has two albums out, "Anything Else but the Truth" and "Scream and Light up the Sky." The band has been hailed as "emotionally poignant" by PopMatters critics, and combines "raw emotion with pop hooks" to defy genre classifications.
Weatherbox has three albums in stores, "The Clearing," "4 Songs" and "American Art." The band plays a combination of indie, hard-core, and rock music that some MySpace fans rave as "auhmazingggg," and "pretty much the best."

Officials stop trying to save 'Superman' from ridicule
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan officials withdrew a proposal to bar parents from giving their children odd names like Edigiaith, Mileidy or Superman, the state-run news agency reported Thursday.
The National Electoral Council had proposed banning "names that expose (children) to ridicule, are extravagant or difficult to pronounce" or raise doubts about whether a child is a girl or a boy
The council also proposed to draw up a list of traditional names for parents to use "as a reference" when registering their children.
But the clause prohibiting odd monikers was axed after child protection officials warned it could violate "the right to liberty." Electoral Council member Sandra Oblitas was quoted as saying by
the Bolivarian News Agency.
MANNING, S.C. — A woman who went to court to pay a traffic ticket drove there in a stolen car and later ended up behind bars, authorities said.
Many Venezuelans seem to have an inclination to give their children unusual names. Some are creative spellings of English names like Mäkel or Jonny; others, such as Edis or Orlayny, are of uncertain origin.

Chief Deputy Joe Bradham said.
They arrested her as she opened the door of the 2001 Dodge Intrepid on Tuesday morning, authorities said.
When opponents of President Hugo Chavez last year sought to question the accuracy of the country's voter rolls, they noted that even "Superman" was listed. Electoral officials subsequently confirmed there are in fact two Venezuelans by that name registered to vote.
Helton, 21, and her passenger, 35-year-old Terry Lynn Alvery, were charged with possessing a stolen vehicle, Bradham said.

Helton was being held at the Clarendon jail Wednesday in lieu of $5,000 bail. It was unclear whether she had an attorney, and a message left at the local public defender's office was not immediately returned.
Helton had been in court less than a week before and was acquitted of possessing a stolen tag but convicted of driving without a license, Bradham said.
"I guess she thought, 'Hey, I got away with having a stolen tag. I might get away with the entire car', Bradham said.
