FOREST GROVE, Ore. - The "Street of Affordable Homes" is open in Forest Grove. But, for the first time in a major home show, one home is not like the others in many ways.
It's called the "Viking House" not because it has a Nordic theme, but because it's built by students from Forest Grove High. They are the Vikings.
The students were invited to build a home for this year's show. It took a full school year to complete this 2,230 square foot single story, three bedroom traditional style home.
Everything wood in this home was done by the students. The sub-floor decking, framing, the cedar siding, the hardwood floor installation and cabinets.
If it's anything to do with wood, they did it, while all under close supervision. Students in the construction program class at Forest Grove high had to apply. Out of 40 students, 16 made the the team.
Many of the students want to make the construction trades their profession after graduation. This is the 38th project for the construction program started at the high school in 1975.
"They originally started because they wanted to challenge their more advanced students with real world projects, with real world pressures, real world expectations. Deadlines," said Chris Higginbotham, Construction Teacher at Forest Grove High.
Forest Grove is the last high school in the state to offer this kind of hands on construction training.
The listing price for Viking House is $349,000. It's one of six homes in this year's "Street of Affordable Homes." The show runs through July 29th.

Register-Herald Reporter
An ex-Marine who lost a brother to prescribed painkillers, a doctor and a nursing leader appealed to a House committee Thursday to legalize marijuana for therapeutic uses.
Eighteen people signed up for a special hearing by the Health and Human Resources Committee — a significant step in Delegate Mike Manypenny's, D-Taylor, three-year crusade to legalize cannabis to lessen pain.
No one spoke against HB2961, and the first-ever hearing on the bill, while encouraging to supporters, doesn't mean Chairman Don Perdue, D-Wayne, plans to run it with only two weeks left in this session.
Even so, Perdue suggested the hearing couldn't be dismissed lightly.
"Not long ago, primary seatbelts was a nowhere issue," Perdue said, just hours after the House agreed to make failure to buckle up a primary traffic offense.
"Don't lose your passion," he advised supporters.
However, the health chairman indicated the bill, while not likely to come for a vote in the final two weeks, would be the topic of an interims study.
"It is not a dangerous drug," insisted Dr. Paul Clancy, an emergency physician in West Virginia since 1995.
"I feel it can divert a lot of illegal drug abuse from criminal arenas."
In his work, Clancy said he often sees "a lot of substance abuse at work of all flavors — alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs, illegal drugs. What we don't see a lot of is marijuana problems."
Clancy pointed out that medical marijuana can take other forms besides burning the weed to inhale the smoke.
"It is not necessary to smoke joints to get medical benefits from cannabis," he said.
Terry Lively, a 57-year-old diagnosed with multiple sclerosis nearly two decades ago, recalled how she became paralyzed on one side and suffered double vision. It took four months to recover, and the medications prescribed left her drowsy and nauseated.
A doctor recommended medical marijuana and it helped, she told the health committee.
"Life became better," Lively said, noting she returned to school and earned a master's degree.
Chris Yeager, who spent eight years in the Marine Corps, said West Virginia leads the nation in prescription pill overdoses, and one victim three years ago was a brother.
"My brother was not an addict," he explained, pointing out he was prescribed various medicines to combat depression and anxiety.
More than 20 mental hygiene warrants were undertaken by the family, but each time he was assessed by doctors, once he came off the opiates, they merely decided he wasn't a risk to himself and turned him loose, Yeager said.
"For someone who fought for this country, that answer is not good enough for me," he said.
Aila Accad, president of the West Virginia Nurses Association in Charleston, said her group and the American Nurses Association both endorse the medical use of marijuana and have, in fact, held this position about a decade.
In fact, she said, "there is a growing body of evidence that marijuana has a significant margin of safety" when used under proper supervision to treat a host of disorders — from wasting syndrome to AIDS to cancer.
A Paden City resident, Joel Davis, told lawmakers he was born with congenital scoliosis and Klippel-Feil syndrome that causes spinal curvature.
Seeking to relieve pain, he said, doctors prescribed various strengths of Oxycontin and Percocet, along with anti-depressants, but the discomfort haunts him daily.
"Even just sitting causes me pain," said Davis, who used crutches to get to the speaker's podium.
Not long ago, Davis said, he visited a state where medical marijuana is legal, adding, "It was amazing how well it helped with my pain."
"Oxycodone is a dangerous drug, but until patients are able to use cannabis," he said, "I will have to take the risks of being on it. It's time to allow patients who can benefit from medical marijuana to get the help they need. So many people, not just patients, will benefit from this bill passing because the amount of oxycodone on the street will be much lower."

MOORE — In 2009, one of them most explosive high school football teams in Oklahoma belonged to Southmoore. Even though the program was only in its second year of existence, it had become a must-see event whenever it rolled into opposing stadiums.
With Kendal Thompson at quarterback, Austin Haywood as the dynamic tight end and Andrew Long in the backfield, they created excitement in class 6A. But it was the playmakers the SaberCats had at wideout that made the unit a truly dangerous squad.
Nyko Symonds led the SaberCats with 37 catches for 874 yards. Right behind him was Derek Serowski, who had 29 receptions and 580 yards. Both were second on the team with seven touchdown catches.
When the season ended, Symonds and Serowski went their separate ways. However, four years after their senior years at Southmoore, even though they have taken different paths, Symonds and Serowski find themselves on the same team again as members of the upstart Oklahoma Baptist program.
"I think it's special," Serowski said. "I've done it once before with him at Southmoore. It was a special deal there. And to be able to bring it to a college level, I think it's more special because traditions are truly being started here. In high school, you transferred in because of housing districts. Now here, everyone is recruited from all over. Being able to lead this team and make traditions, is all the more important."
Neither Serowski nor Symonds had planned on ever being at OBU when they left high school. In fact, the Bison football program was still two years away from being revived when they graduated.
Symonds walked on at Oklahoma where he joined SaberCats Haywood (2010), Thompson (2011) and Julian Wilson (2010). He became the holder on the field goal team and earned a varsity letter with the Sooners.

The Joplin Globe
In 2003, Missouri Southern State College officially became Missouri Southern State University.
Signed by Missouri Governor Bob Holden, Senate Bill 55 officially changed the name of the four-year school in Joplin and sent the institution on a course to offer graduate-level degrees.
But the process for the name change didn't begin in the early 2000s according to former Senator Gary Nodler, who sponsored the bill that eventually was signed into law.
"The effort to change the name goes back many years," Nodler said. "The college had sought legislation for almost 15 years before my election to the Senate. Former state representative Gary Burton had succeeded in getting bills through the Missouri House of Representatives on at least two occasions, but the bills died in the Senate under threat of filibuster."
Nodler was elected to the Missouri Senate in 2002 and was sworn in on Jan. 3, 2003. He said that changing the name of Missouri Southern was just one aspect of the bill. The other aspect dealt with giving schools the authority to partner with other institutions to offer graduate degrees.
"Senate Bill 55 included language empowering any four-year institution without graduate degree authority to enter into agreements with any institution that possessed such authority to offer graduate programs on their campus," Nodler said. "The end result was the issuance of a diploma bearing the names of both schools."
Nodler said that while this authority extended across all state institutions, none has made greater use of it than Missouri Southern. It may be that because this authority was included in the Missouri Southern name change bill, that other institutions are unaware of their entitlement to the same process.
Although Senate Bill 55 was passed, it did not go unopposed through the legislature. When it was first introduced, Nodler said the bill faced hardy opposition, just as its predecessors had.
"When my bill was first introduced, it faced a filibuster from several senators, most notably the Senate Minority leader Ken Jacob," Nodler said. "But after working with him toward compromise for about three weeks, he joined in the effort to pass the bill and handled the floor substitute for me. The bill passed the Missouri Senate with only three no votes less than a month after I took office."
Other schools in the state used the bill to help push their name changes through, including Missouri Western and Harris-Stowe as both institutions added university to their names in 2004.
"In 2004 another name change bill passed that changed the names of several institutions, including Missouri Western," Nodler said. "I supported that bill and there is no doubt that the passage of our bill a year earlier set the stage for that legislation."
Having university in your school's name provides a bit of prestige, but it also lets prospective students know they can get an advanced degree right here in Joplin.
"The name, which implies graduate education, means that education in Joplin does not stop at a bachelor's degree, but MSSU is truly a place for lifelong learning," Nodler said. "I do not believe that a metropolitan area that does not have a university can compete economically in our country today."
Nodler says the list of people to thank for the name change is long as many individuals helped the cause.
"Without the loyalty and dedication of not only my house bill handler Bryan Stevenson, but all of the area state representatives who supported him in the house, this bill would not have become law," Nodler said. "I also appreciate the support of Governor Bob Holden who agreed to sign the bill into law."
Justin Maskus is sports information director at Missouri Southern.

Hey guys,
It's been years since I've been here - I'm building a custom home and would like to gets some speakers for the home. Looking for in-walls that you may have recommendations for. I will probably need 5 speakers for the media room, 5 speakers for the family room, 2 speakers for the outdoor patio, and random speakers all over the house (total of 7 probably).
I saw there is an LS in wall - any thoughts on those?
I always enjoyed the Polk LSi house sound from my prior experiences with them.

BOISE — Bad weather caused the search for missing Craters of the Moon hiker Jo Elliott-Blakeslee to be scaled back Sunday morning.
Sustained winds of 46 mph with a gust of 65 mph at the national monument caused fewer volunteer searchers to show up.
The 20 searchers who reported, down from 70 on Saturday, will continue to hike through areas where they believe Elliott-Blakeslee, a Boise physician who works at the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in Ontario, may have traveled.
"Today's focus will be on the east and south sides of Big Cinder Cone. Clues found over the past two days indicate Elliott-Blakeslee, 63, may be in that area," said Traci Weaver, a spokeswoman for the National Park Service.
Because of high wind warnings and poor visibility, a search helicopter is grounded, Weaver said. Several rescue dogs and handlers will be employed but rain that fell in the area has decreased the dogs' ability to locate Elliott-Blakeslee's scent.
Big Cinder Cone, at an elevation of 6,515 feet, is the highest point at Craters of the Moon. It is located east of the Tree Molds Trail where Elliott-Blakeslee and companion Amy Linkert, 69, a retired special education teacher from Lowell Scott Middle School in Meridian, were thought to be hiking.
Linkert's body was found Wednesday west of that trail. She died from exposure, authorities said. Elliott-Blakeslee was initially identified as the dead person, but the mistake was discovered when Linkert's dental records were made available and checked on Friday.
The pair left a trailer at a KOA campground in Arco on Sept. 19. They were scheduled to return home to Boise on Sept. 21. They were reported missing Monday when Elliott-Blakeslee failed to report for work at the prison.
Neither Linkert nor Elliott-Blakeslee were dressed for overnight temperatures that have dipped below freezing over the past week, authorities said. It's believed they planned to go on a short hike and then drive back to their camper.
They did not take food or water and were not dressed in protective clothing. They also left their dogs behind, which were discovered Tuesday.

GV Photo Wins Derby Duck Network Picture Of The Year
- Last Updated on 11:41 AM 04/23/12
- BY Paula I. Bryant
A photograph of hundreds of yellow ducks being dumped into the muddy Dan River has been named Derby Duck Network Picture of the Year, announced South Boston Community Development Coordinator Tamyra Vest.
Earlier this month, Vest entered the winning photo taken by Gazette-Virginian photographer Joe Chandler, and it quickly became one of the top eight finalists.
Vest encouraged fans to go to Derby Duck Network's facebook page and vote for their favorite picture with the picture receiving the most likes and comments to be declared the winner.
According to Vest, photographs from South Boston and Tennessee were close for a while, but Chandler's photo won with flying colors in the end.
"We will receive $250 in Duck Bucks," an excited Vest said who expressed her appreciation to Chandler at The Gazette-Virginian for taking the winning photo.
Commenting on South Boston's Ducks on the Dan fundraiser, Vest said, "In this generation it is important to make your social media work for you and your organization. In this instance, it wasn't about giving the money, it wasn't about adopting a duck, it's about informing and entertaining - drawing people to your mission. Social media can be used for friend raising as well as fund raising, turning your viewers/followers into everyday philanthropists. It's not a way to do your organizational activities, but it is a way to show your personality and show the human side of your organization," she said.
Derby Duck Network's facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/derbyducknetwork) says:
"Congratulations Picture of the Year 2009 Winner for "Ducks on the Dan" benefiting Destination Downtown South Boston, Inc.
The Picture will be featured on Derby Duck Network and will highlight their 2010 race.
Destination Downtown South Boston is making plans for this year's Ducks on the Dan Derby Duck Race on Saturday, June 12, Vest said.

Li Ching-Yuen
Home | Medicinal Benefits | Historical | Li Ching-Yuen | Preparation | Habitat
Probably the most famous proponent and user of Gotu Kola (known in China as fo-ti-tieng) is the celebrated Chinese herbalist and Daoist master (Dao yin or internal health practices) Li Ching-Yuen, born in 1677, who survived twenty-three (23) wives and died on March 5, 1933 (as reported by the New York Times and London Times) at the age of 256 years. This was officially recorded and confirmed by the Chinese government, and aroused so much interest in France, that the government there established an experimental laboratory in Algeria to study Gotu Kola. The English government also provided a grant to a college research foundation in Colombo, Ceylon to study this herb.
Born on 1677 in Chyi Jiang Hsie, Szechuan province and later moving to Kai Hsien, he joined the Chinese army of provincial CinC Yueh Jong Chyi at the age of 71, as a tactical advisor and teacher of the martial arts, though he spent most of his life in the mountain ranges gathering herbs and knowledge of longevity methods.
In 1927 Li Ching-Yuen was invited to Wann Hsien, Szechuan by General Yang Sen who was fascinated by Li's remarkable youthfulness, strength and prowess in spite of his advanced age. The enclosed photograph was obtained there. After Li's death, the General investigated his background to determine the truth to his claimed background and age, which led to a report that was later published. Returning home, he died a year later, some say of natural causes, while others claim that he told friends, "I have done all I have to do in this world. I will now go home." With these words he lay down upon his couch and allowed his spirit to depart through sheer willpower.
People interviewed from his home province in 1933 remember seeing Li Ching-Yuen when they were small children, and that the master had not aged much during their lifetime. Others reported that he had been friends with their grandfathers. The truth of his long life died with Li Ching-Yuen and is one of those inscrutable Daoist mysteries that may never be solved.
An interesting sidelight was thrown upon the unique properties of fo-ti-tieng (Gotu Kola) by a 107 year old Indian sage named Nanddo Narian, who claimed that the herb provides the missing ingredient in a man's diet, without which, he can never control disease and decay. He found it to be, in practice, the finest of all herbal tonics and nutrients.
The results of the studies performed upon Gotu Kola by the French in Algeria revealed what appears to be a new vitamin not known in any other food or herb. It was described as the "youth vitamin X" that exerts a rejuvenating influence upon the ductless glands, the healthy functioning of which is, the means by which the brain and body are maintained for healthy activity.

As North Carolinians dug out Sunday from Hurricane Irenes wind, rains and flood waters, officials surveyed damage that included five breaches of N.C. 12 on the Outer Banks, cutting off Cape Hatteras and Ocracoke from the mainland.
Gov. Bev Perdue flew over Eastern North Carolina, making stops from Trenton to Havelock, to assess the impact of a storm that left seven people dead and about 444,000 households without power.
Overall, the destruction is not as severe as I was worried it might be, Perdue said Sunday evening in Kill Devil Hills, standing before a calm ocean. But theres still lots and lots of destruction, and peoples lives are turned upside down.
Perdue, a Democrat, visited Jones, Craven, Carteret and Dare counties to assess the states response to the storm damage. Meanwhile, state Agriculture Secretary Steve Troxler, state House Speaker Tom Tillis and state Senate Pro Tem Phil Berger, all Republicans, made their own inspections in Carteret, Beaufort and Pasquotank counties.
Federal officials also spread out over the coastal plain to determine the damage, although it will take several days before FEMA will put a price tag on it, Craig Fugate, chief of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said Sunday during a conference call.
The breach of N.C. 12 could put an early end to the tourist season in the southern Outer Banks.
In Buxton, Stanley Meekins, owner of the Red Drum convenience store, now cut off from the mainland, surveyed the damage.
Weve been through this a dozen times before, he said. We were flooded out by Irene and lost our power and lost all our perishable goods. But this is the price you pay for living in paradise.
Much work lies ahead as state crews repair bridges and roads, utility crews restore electricity, and residents repair their homes and businesses. On Sunday, more than 1,800 N.C. Department of Transportation employees, almost 400 National Guard soldiers and more than 300 state Highway Patrol troopers were out working.
East Carolina University officials canceled classes Monday on the Greenville campus, citing downed trees and water leaks in buildings. College officials will decide Monday whether to cancel classes Tuesday.
'Miss Irene was no joke'
Some of the states worst flooding happened along the Pamlico and Albemarle sounds, in the states Inner Banks. Rescue crews fanned out late Saturday and Sunday in search of people trapped by the rising waters.
Officials reported more than 200 water rescues in Northampton, Beaufort and Craven counties, and in Pamlico County where two pregnant women and two infants were saved.
Pamlico County, at the mouth of the Neuse River, was hammered by the storm. County Manager Timothy Buck estimated that Irene flooded as much as 30 percent of the homes there. Power was out to most of the county, and residents were advised to boil their water.
Miss Irene was no joke, said Val Cradle, 54, of Pantego in neighboring Beaufort County.
Cradle and Eddie Selby, 68, were ripping up soaked carpet Sunday afternoon and trying to scrub away the stench in their home.
Cradle fled when the waters started rising Saturday. But Selby refused to leave, as he had during hurricanes Fran and Floyd.
On Saturday, Selby watched the water sweep a freezer off his back porch. Then his lawn mower disappeared. And then water drowned his truck and van, the only means by which he could have escaped.
It all happened so quick, Selby said.
As the water rushed through his house, Selby crawled into the attic with his dog Max and waited for the water to recede.
On Sunday as they were cleaning up, no one but a neighbor stopped to check on them.
It is like we dont exist in Pantego, Selby said.
7,500 were in shelters
Eighty-one shelters opened during the peak of the storm to serve more than 7,500 people who fled their homes. By Sunday night, 23 shelters remained in operation with 1,700 evacuees.
Communities from New Hanover to Currituck counties were without power. State officials reported that about 444,000 households were still dark Sunday night.
Richmond, Va.-based Dominion Power said 1.2 million customers lost power, most of them in Virginia. By Sunday afternoon, about 70,000 Dominion Power customers in North Carolina were still affected.
Meanwhile, Progress Energy reported a peak of 280,000 outages, with less than 121,000 still without power at 8 p.m. Sunday. Of those, 1,900 were in Wake County. Among the hardest-hit counties were Wayne, Craven and Carteret, which each had more than 14,000 affected customers.
Progress Energy had a crew of 1,000 workers at hand, but they couldnt get out to work until Sunday morning after the storm had passed. Spokesman Scott Sutton predicted several days of blackouts for many of the heavy-hit areas.
No one is immune, he said. The coast is definitely the worst, but Goldsboro is badly hit, and Fayetteville is badly hit. Its what happens when a well-timed gust finds an unfortunate tree.
The lights should be turned on again in 95 percent of the affected homes by midnight Wednesday, a Progress Energy official said. Customers in Zebulon and Selma are among those likely to wait longer.
Its pretty torn up here
In the northern Outer Banks, the results of soundside flooding could be seen. Marsh grass, mud and other debris was carried about 150 yards inland. Some buildings showed a waterline four feet up on the outside. Docks were upside down, and boats littered the shoreline on Kitty Hawk Bay at Kill Devil Hills.
Its pretty torn up here, said Monty Leavell, 57, who has lived on the Outer Banks for 37 years. He said it was the worst soundside flooding hes seen since Hurricane Floyd in 1999. The water came up quick.
In Carteret County, residents started the cleanup Sunday with sunny skies and a sense of determination, ready to peel off the plywood and pick up limbs.
Among them was Eason Clark, 59, who runs Clarks Repair Service on the causeway between Morehead City and Atlantic Beach.
Im just going to have to replace carpet. Im happy, Clark said.
A section of the causeway and surrounding businesses were under as much as two feet of water for a time during the storm. Three piers on the island were damaged by the storm: Oceanana, Bogue Inlet and the one at the Sheraton hotel.
On The Circle at Atlantic Beach, Jimmy Butts was cleaning up his Tackle Box Tavern with a garden hose, rinsing down the sand that had pushed in under the doors when the surf breached the seawall. Otherwise, he said, the 1950s-era block building was in good shape.
Its been a good summer, Butts said. Im sorry it had to end like this.

|act of God
|law a sudden and inevitable occurrence caused by natural forces and not by the agency of man, such as a flood, earthquake, or a similar catastrophe
An event beyond human control — e.g., hurricane, earthquake, volcanic eruption (see volcano), etc. — for which there is no legal redress. The phrase is frequently used by insurance companies and lawyers.
A natural catastrophe, e.g., a hurricane, an earthquake, or a volcanic eruption. (See volcano.)
Note: As a legal term relating to property damage, it appears in insurance contracts: "After the flood, Papovich was dismayed to discover that his house was not insured against acts of God."
Note: In contracts dealing with the delivery of goods or services, the term is used to protect the parties from litigation over delays or failures in performance owing to circumstances beyond their control.
act of God
An unforeseen and uncontrollable natural event, such as a hurricane, fire, or flood. For example, The publisher shall publish the work within twelve months except in case of delay caused by acts of God such as fires or floods or other circumstances beyond its control. It most often appears in legal contracts, where it is used to indemnify one party against a disaster that prevents it from carrying out the contract's terms. [Mid-1800s]

Join our early stage engineering team which currently consists of 10 engineers as we take getting stuff done mobile! Recently notminated for the "best mobile app" Crunchie at the 2012 TechCrunch Awards, we are now looking for someone to make that even better as well as bring the service to other platforms.
You will work with our current mobile-focused engineer and designer to determine the right priorities and make them happen. Maybe it turns out this iPhone thing is just a fad and most of our TaskRabbits have Android, so let's do that. Or maybe they really just want to reply to the text message, so let's implement that Twilio feature. Or maybe our TaskPosters love (they really do!) our iPhone app and want to get more done with it.
The position is a little of all of the above. We're looking for a talented and flexible engineer that can adapt to whatever is needed.
In addition to working with the smartest team of entrepreneurs, advisors, and investors on the planet, TaskRabbit team members get a ton of perks:
Moola: Cash comp paired with equity — we are looking for the best and will pay them accordingly.
Challenge: The opportunity for growth in a fast-paced progressive company is yours for the taking.
Tasks: A monthly Task stipend, which is sort of like having your own 24/7 concierge army.
Benefits: Great health coverage and dental benefits, a flexible spending account, 401k plans, laundry service, and regular lunches on the company's dime.
Education: A series of Lunch and Learn events — we call it Learnch — along with in-office mentoring opportunities and access to the TaskRabbit library.
Office: A huge, dog-friendly SOMA loft built to accommodate collaboration, with two fully stocked kitchens and a game room. Great location in SOMA (5 blocks from CalTrain, 3 blocks from BART).
Entertainment: Tons of video games. Pingpong, and an online leaderboard created in Heroku. ;)

"Do the Math" is a galvanizing new campaign led by environmental author and activist Bill McKibben, cultural critic Naomi Klein, Bishop Desmond Tutu, and environmental scientist James Hansen.
Based on McKibben's widely read Rolling Stone article "Global Warming's Terrifying New Math", the tour aims to catalyze a global movement to address the climate crisis and challenge the power of the fossil-fuel industry head-on. Traveling the U.S this fall, 350.org founder McKibben brings together a revolving cast of speakers, activists, and musicians along with some of the world's leading thinkers, visionaries, and change-makers in an interdisciplinary program designed to transform our economic landscape and inspire people to take action commensurate with the scale of the climate crisis.
On Nov. 28th, Bill will be in Chicago to lay out the terrifying new math of climate change, explaining the incredible odds we face, and the difficult path we must walk in the coming years to create a livable future for our planet.
Here are the details:
Where: Athenaeum Theater, 2936 N. Southport Ave, Chicago, IL
When: Nov. 28th, Doors at 6 PM
Bill will be joined by friends from across the climate movement and beyond to explain how together we can confront the fossil fuel industry, using lessons from the most successful movements of the past century and the past year of dramatic new actions against the industry across the country.
In association with Chicago Area Peace Action

Arkitip No. 0060 – Max FishReported by Arkitip, Inc., 15 July 2014, 21:05 PM
We are proud to announce the 60th issue edition of Arkitip – Max Fish.
Max Fish was an uncontested downtown New York City institution. From 1989–2013 it was a gathering place for artists, skateboarders, musicians and the occasional celebrity to congregate because it was the kind of place where all these people felt at home. It was a social vortex for these groups and many of the friendships that began here have given birth to inestimable projects, ideas and collaborations among its patrons. The owner of Max Fish is German-born artist Ulli Rimkus, who set up shop on Ludlow Street in 1989, when the neighborhood was more famous for selling dope than cocktails. Part dive bar and part gallery; the bar hosted themed art shows and amassed an impressive permanent collection that included "Julio Iglesias" by Mark Flood, "Rat Cop" by Tom Otterness and "Bronx Elvis" by John Ahearn. In the mid to late '90s, as a broader skate culture started to bleed into the music, art and fashion worlds, Max Fish started to become a hang out for skateboarders.
As customary, we have created a video to celebrate the release which can be seen below. The video is a visual story with commentary from patrons and past employees.
Arkitip No. 0060 Max Fish will be hand numbered in a limited-edition and as always come packaged with a collector's item. The edition has been designed by artist André Razo and made possible with support from Converse.

Nissan Innovates... the iPhone?
It's probably not what you're expecting to hear from an automotive blog, but we assure you that it's true.

Websites for Graduate Students
Western's Society of Graduate Studentswww.uwo.ca/sogs/
Western's Teaching Support Centrewww.uwo.ca/tsc/
Phinished Linkswww.phinished.org/
This is a truly unique website. Not only does it offer great advice and quality links, it's interactive. Strategies for graduate school success are followed by reactions and responses from current grad students. Its primary purpose is to provide an online discussion and support group for grad students who are trying to complete their theses. Evidence it's successful? The Hall of Phame is the website's "honor roll of Phinished graduates and their degrees." As the author points out, "If they can do it, so can you."
Theses Canadawww.nlc-bnc.ca/thesescanada
Introduced in January 2004 by the National Library of Canada and the National Archives of Canada, Theses Canada is billed as the world's largest free thesis website. It provides a relatively quick and easy way of learning about research activities of recent graduate students and/or of getting a better sense of the format and expectations surrounding graduate level theses in your discipline. View more than 32,000 (and growing!) full text doctoral and master's theses online.
Funding Proposal and Thesis Guideshttp://www.learnerassociates.net/
This site has multi-purposes, two of which are particularly relevant to graduate students: (1) click on the Proposal Writing Guide for "a step-by-step tutorial that provides both instructions on how to write a funding proposal and actual examples of completed proposals"; (2) click on the Dissertation/Thesis Guide for "a practical guide to assist in the crafting, implementing and defending of a graduate school thesis or dissertation." Practical and useful.
Graduate Student Resources On the Webwww-personal.umich.edu/~danhorn/graduate.html
This exceptional site provides well researched links to useful websites for graduate students. In particular, the annotated listings under Getting Through - General advice on surviving grad school and Getting Out - Completing that dissertation and getting a job offer something for everyone. A great starting place.
So long, and thanks for the Ph.D.!www.cs.unc.edu/~azuma/hitch4.html
The subtitle of this web site - "Everything I wanted to know about C.S. graduate school at the beginning but didn't learn until later" - is somewhat misleading: it's applicability is much broader than graduate studies in computer science. Conversational in style, it offers solid no-nonsense advice interspersed with inspirational quotes from famous people such as Mark Twain and Louis Pasteur. Fun to read, the suggestions are sometimes profound in their simplicity.
The Association for the Support of Graduate Studentshttp://www.asgs.org
ASGS is an American based service organization for graduate students. They provide information and 'products' (i.e. you pay) to assist students with planning and completing their thesis or dissertation. Some items such as back copies of their publication (Thesis News) must be paid for, but some 'Thesis Tips' and current articles from the publication are usually posted. In addition, archived material from 'Doc Talk' is available. This is a moderated email discussion group for graduate students. 'The Best of Doc Talk' provides some interesting (and honest!) discussions related to Writer's Block, Working with Advisors, Oral examinations, and job searching. You might find some useful tips here.
Grad Resources: Serving the needs of graduate and professional studentswww.gradresources.org/
This site contains a variety of resources under the headings of e-mentors, crisis line, articles, resources, and worldview. The "articles" section is perhaps the most useful to Canadian grad students - example topics include in-depth discussions of time management, and coping with academic and financial pressures. The information under "worldview" is listed as dealing with "deeper philosophical and spiritual issues"; browsers are at complete liberty to choose whether or not to view this section.
How to Be a Good Graduate Studentwww.cs.indiana.edu/how.2b/how.2b.html
The information isn't new - written in 1994 - but this website is still a favourite. The abstract cautions that the intent is not to provide prescriptive advice but to raise awareness. In fact, it's full of advice. That's fine, because it's really good advice! Looking for ideas on dealing with the daily grind of graduate school, staying motivated, or thesis writing? Take a look at this website.
Also from this web page:

KANSAS, Okla. —
Today marks the beginning of the global event that never fails to deliver indelible and historic moments.
The Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, which will be televised on NBC beginning at 6 p.m., will launch a two-week display of strength, endurance, commitment, integrity and love of country.
Competition in women's football began Wednesday to headline nearly 40 different event categories, including archery, basketball, cycling, diving, equestrian, fencing, gymnastics, handball, Judo, modern pentathlon, sailing, table tennis, volleyball and water polo.
There are no competitions scheduled today to allow for the celebration that will showcase the United Kingdom as host nation, as well as Olympians from around the world.
For many, watching the opening and closing ceremonies is a favorite event to take in, while others look forward to individual competitions or following the progress of key athletes.
Cherokee County 911 Coordinator Marty Kimble noted interest is especially high in the progress of American 60-meter hurdle record holder Lori "Lolo" Jones and vaunted American swimmer Michael Phelps.
"I've been able to watch a couple programs on the athletes. One was on Lolo Jones, the track star. I'm curious to see how she'll do," Kimble said. "She had some kind of surgery. When she was running, all of sudden, she just started falling. She's a hurdler."
According to NBCOlympics.com, Jones had surgery for tethered spinal cord in 2011. A clipped hurdle kept Jones from winning gold in the 100-meter hurdles at the 2008 Games.
"Then there's Michael Phelps," said Kimble. "I'm sure everybody wants to see what he does. Another is Gabby Douglas. She is a [16-year-old] gymnast. She's been in gymnastics ever since she was little-bitty. She has a contagious smile. She's one of the shows on the athletes that I saw. She was going to quit. She was tired and did a 180. I think her name's going to come up. And I'd really like to see an any American give Usain Bolt a run for his money. He's pretty phenomenal."
Northeastern State University Head baseball coach Travis Janseen is on board with the hype and expectation surrounding the USA men's basketball team.
"I am a basketball fan, and they are so dominant," he said. "My favorite event is the 100-meter dash. I like it because it's exciting to see those elite sprinters run like they do. You don't get a chance to see that all the time. What they can do is pretty amazing."
NSU head women's tennis coach and Fitness Center Director Ron Cox can't pick just one event to watch, because he enjoys everything the Olympics is about.
"I get caught up in almost every activity at the Olympics," he said. "I think probably the swimming would be my favorite, if I had to pick one. I get so excited with how good we are. I also enjoy the basketball and tennis because I've coached both sports."
Cox mentioned Oklahoma City Thunder forward and three-time NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant as an athlete to watch.
"I think he is a quality young man, and he is a smooth athlete," Cox said. "I enjoy watching him compete."
Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce Tourism Director Kate Kelly echoed Cox's sentiment in embracing more than one Olympic event, but makes a point to watch the official start to the Games.
"It's a huge production and while watching I always marvel at the amount of effort and planning that go in to the ceremony that we see," she said. "Sometimes I get caught up in thinking about the production and forget to just watch and enjoy it."
Kelly especially appreciates the diving competition.
"It's fascinating. Some of the dives are just so beautiful," she said. "Gymnastics are fun to watch. Once again, one marvels at the abilities of these athletes. [And ] I love the equestrian events. The horses are all gorgeous, and it is enjoyable to watch them perform and demonstrate their years of practice and training."
Hulbert Mayor Shirley Teague relishes the element of danger in the high-diving competition.
"That takes a lot of courage," she said. "It's exciting to watch."
Cherokee County Election Board assistant secretary Shannon Hensley was a gymnast in her earlier days, and looks forward to the competition that illustrates an athlete's acrobatic ability and strength.
"Gymnastics has always been my favorite," she said. "I did gymnastics when I was Iittle. My favorite athlete is [retired American artistic gymnast and 2008 balance beam gold medalist] Shawn Johnson. She's really good."
In responding to the Daily Press' Facebook question on favorite events to watch, local insurance agent Trae Ratliff said he can't wait to catch a glimpse of the five-time World and three-time Olympic gold medalist from Jamaica.
"It's hard to overlook the excitement of the return of the fastest man in the world: Usain Bolt," he said.
Sheri Denny Gourd likes the aesthetic impact made by the gymnasts.
"Gymnastics [is my favorite event to watch] because the athletes show such strength and beauty," she said.
Stacy Pratt, a Tahlequah native (and former Daily Press staffer) who's now an English instructor at a New York college, agrees with Gourd.
"I know that is a very conventional answer, but it is such a beautiful sport to watch, despite its controversies," she said. "I was a Tahlequah Aerial, years ago. Our little gym was on Muskogee Avenue, if anyone remembers it. Gymnastics requires so much discipline: attention to safety, accuracy, and beauty all at the same time. It is exciting to do and to watch."
NSU alum and former Daily Press employee Robin Brown is looking forward to seeing the USA's NBA dominance.
"Nothing like good ol' American supremacy to show them foreigners who is boss," he quipped.
Former Cherokee County resident Charles Letbetter hopes to see Team C.S.I. in the game soon as his favorite event to watch is the javelin competition.
"I keep waiting year after year for someone to slip and murder a judge," he said.

They were looking for Megan Fox.
Three paparazzi, loitering in the hills high above Los Angeles. They parked here this morning, hoping to catch Fox, who has a house a little ways up the hill. But then luck cruised by in the back seat of an Escalade: Rihanna, on her way to a shoot at a photographer's place. Her windows were blacked out, but the paps knew it was her: There's a telltale dent on the bumper, plus they have a list of plates.
The paparazzi closest to the curb is a nice-looking kid named Arturo with a telephoto lens around his neck. He works for an agency called X17, and Rihanna is on his beat. He knows where she stays, where she shops, where she eats. He says a shot of her might fetch as much as five grand, depending on what she's doing or who she's with. "So," he says, with as much casualness as he can muster, "is she with anyone?"
Video, Photos: Rihanna's Hot Rolling Stone Cover Shoot
As it turns out, she's with Mark — her security guard, a cockney bruiser with a heart of gold, who spent his formative years in East London beating the crap out of rival soccer fans. His fists are like sledgehammers, and he sounds like the bad guy from a Guy Ritchie flick. At one point, as a demonstration of his hooligan ingenuity, he takes a plain newspaper, makes a few expert folds, and within seconds has fashioned himself a blunt-force weapon. "We call this a Millwall brick," Mark says with a grin.
By now Rihanna is finished with her shoot and is sipping wine and chatting with her girls while the sun sets. There's Karin, her makeup artist; Ursula, who handles her ever-changing hair — today, a crimson explosion of Sideshow Bob curls; Jen, her personal assistant; and of course, Melissa, her best friend and right-hand gal, whom she's known since they were BFFs in Barbados when she was 14. It's a tightknit crew — or, as Rihanna's friend Katy Perry says, "a bunch of girls who keep it real."
Pretty soon it's time to roll. Mark starts prepping for the 30-foot walk to the car. "Do you want to give them a shot so they don't follow us?" he asks her. She's been getting her picture taken all day, so she's understandably less than enthused, but she agrees, for safety's sake.
Bikinis, Handcuffs and a Prince Cover: Rihanna Kicks Off Over-the-Top Summer Tour
But once the cameras start flashing and the smile comes out, she decides to have some fun. "Rihanna! Rihanna!" Arturo shouts. "Are you dating Ryan Phillippe?" That's the rumor this week — the latest in a long line of her alleged paramours, from Shia LaBeouf to Josh Hartnett to Drake. She shakes her voluminous curls. "I hate to burst your bubble," she says, "but no. I'm dating girls!"
Arturo laughs and snaps away."Yeah — Nicki Minaj, right?"
Rihanna laughs. "I wish!" she says as she disappears into the SUV. "Her butt is perfect!"
A little while later, she's at an Italian restaurant off the Pacific Coast Highway, digging into a plate of fried calamari. The place is called Giorgio Baldi, and it's her favorite restaurant in Los Angeles, maybe even the world. If she's home for a week, which is rare, she might eat here four or five times. She usually gets the spaghetti and sometimes the gnocchi. Tonight, she gets both.
So what's she like up close? Almost too much to take in at once. Impossible green eyes. Luminous skin. Legs that reach halfway to the ceiling. (No wonder Gillette once insured them for a million dollars.) "It's disgusting how gorgeous she is," Perry says. "Anytime I introduce my friends to her, male or female, the ride back always consists of, 'What, does she drink the blood of virgins?'"
Rihanna released her first single, the bubbly dancehall jam "Pon de Replay," when she was just 17. Since then she's put out a remarkable five albums in six years, for combined sales of 7 million. Eighteen of her songs have reached the Top 10; among female performers, only Whitney, Madonna, Janet and Mariah have more. If her latest single, "S&M," tops the charts like it looks it could, it would be her 10th Number One — more than Beyoncé and Lady Gaga combined.
All of which makes it easy to forget that she's only 23 — and a young 23, at that. She says she doesn't like vegetables because they taste "like bush." She does, however, love french fries, Cheetos and KFC. She's trying to learn Italian — she got Rosetta Stone for Christmas — but right now, her foreign-language vocabulary consists mostly of swear words. She loves Jonah Hill and Michael Cera (although she calls them "the fat guy" and "the other guy"), and she says cheerfully that she's trying to appreciate her body while she can, because she knows "butt and tits" are the first to go.
Photos: Rihanna's Videos: The Highs and Lows
She's also really funny, in case you couldn't tell. She has shown glimpses of it before, co-starring with Andy Samberg in two digital shorts on Saturday Night Live about a pants-wetting goofus named Shy Ronnie. ("She came in and nailed it," Samberg says.) But she also has a dry and self-deprecating wit, joking about her "fivehead" (as in, bigger than fore-) and her prodigious appetite — like when, partway through dinner, she looks down at the three strands of spaghetti left on her plate and says, "Maybe I should stop so I have room for my gnocchi. You think it's too late?"

As the principal of Mildred High School, I would like to take this opportunity to say congratulations to our coaches and to our student-athletes for a great season that finishes up tonight at Cowboys Stadium. Through dedication and hard work they have accomplished this great feat. But, it has not been done alone. It has taken a team effort to achieve such an outstanding milestone. I would like to say a special thank you to the Eagle band, cheerleaders, parents, community, administration, faculty, staff, and fans for the support you have shown throughout our successful season. Your support, enthusiasm, dedication, and passion contribute to the overall positive climate and success of our school.
Coach Harvell and his staff have led the Mildred football program to a great level of success. They have developed a system for success for not only this football season, but for many seasons to come. They set a goal last year, and now that goal is coming to fruition. Their "All In" approach to their goal is an example for everyone to admire and replicate. The young men who have been involved in this are not only winners on the field but are winners in the classroom as well. At Mildred, it is part of our very nature to talk everyday about dressing right, acting right, making the right decisions, and being winners in all aspects of life. These student-athletes have demonstrated this leadership example on a daily basis, and have been great role models for our future Eagles.
At Mildred, we have developed a systematic process that propels our students to success on the field, in the classroom, and in life. This system is not confined to the school alone, but is shared by this community as a whole; this is why this occasion is celebrated with the same "All In" approach - as an entire community.
I would like to leave you with a quote from one of the all-time great coaches. I feel this quote sums up our team's accomplishments this season.
Coach Paul 'Bear' Bryant once said, "If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride – and never quit – you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards."
