SOCIAL CIRCLE -- Mayor James Burgess along with the entire City Council apologized this week to a woman who was arrested by a Social Circle police officer for using profanity.
Greg Foster, the husband of Heather Foster who was unable to speak at length due to laryngitis, addressed the City Council during its monthly meeting Tuesday in order to bring its attention to what he said amounted to "harassment" by the Police Department.
"Our Police Department has a reputation for being way too strict ... and no one wants to drive through this town," Greg Foster said Tuesday. "This incident borders on harassment."
According to video from the camera inside the patrol vehicle that recorded the traffic stop, Heather Foster, along with the driver of a second vehicle, was pulled over about 8:30 a.m. Nov. 10 near the intersection of Oak and Dogwood drives. She had dropped off one of her children at Social Circle Primary School and was on her way to take her 9-year-old son to the elementary school. The officer said he stopped her because she did not make a complete stop at the stop sign.
When the officer asked Heather Foster to sign the citation, it appeared from the video that she began to argue with him about the merits of the traffic stop and seemed to resist accepting the ticket. The officer did not raise his voice and advised her of her court date and asked her again to sign the citation.
Heather Foster signed the ticket, but when she began to drive away from the scene, she could be heard yelling out the window that the officer is "an a--hole!"
Greg Foster explained to the City Council on Tuesday that Heather Foster was responding to some passersby who told her they agreed she should not have received a ticket because they saw her come to a complete stop.
After hearing Heather Foster yell the profanity, the Social Circle police officer activated his blue lights and pulled her over again. This time, however, he asked Heather Foster to step out of her SUV, placed handcuffs on her and arrested her for using profanity in the presence of other people, including her 9-year-old son.
Heather Foster became emotional at this point, as revealed by the video, and repeatedly expressed concern for the welfare of her son who was still in the car.
The officer then used Heather Foster's cell phone to call her husband and advise him of his wife's arrest, placing it on speakerphone. The officer told Greg Foster that normally he would tow the car, but because of the Fosters' son, the officer allowed Greg Foster to pick up the SUV himself. During this conversation, Heather Foster told her husband she was arrested for calling the officer an "a--hole."
Greg Foster explained this situation to the City Council and admitted that it was wrong for his wife to call the police officer a profane name, but the officer took it "way too far."
The Fosters said they have filed a complaint against the officer with the Social Circle Department of Public Safety.
After hearing the husband's account, Councilwoman Angela Porter said she was so angry about Heather Foster's arrest that she was trembling. She pressed the Fosters for details and asked how their son had reacted to seeing his mother placed in handcuffs and placed in the back of a police car.
"We lied to him and told him that was how I was going to take care of the citation," Heather Foster said.
Burgess was also clearly upset by the Fosters' account of the situation, saying the officer's "behavior was pretty gross."
"I regret you had this experience. I know it was humiliating, and we will certainly look into this," he said. "From what you told us, we owe you a deep apology."
The mayor said the Police Department has been in transition and a new chief would hopefully be hired soon, which would cut down on some "petty" actions by the department.
"This was an extreme reaction. I'm not trying to put down our law enforcement, but I truly, truly regret it," Burgess said. "I apologize. We all (City Council) apologize. I truly regret it, truly regret it."

United Nations: Return Native American Lands
WASHINGTON (AP) — A United Nations fact finder surveying conditions of Native Americans and Alaska Natives says he will recommend in his report that some of their lands are returned.
James Anaya has been meeting with tribal leaders, the administration and Senate members over 12 days to assess U.S. compliance with the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. He plans several suggestions in his report, likely due out this fall.
Anaya says land restoration would help bring about reconciliation. He named the Black Hills of South Dakota as an example. The hills are public land but are considered sacred land by Native Americans.
President Barack Obama endorsed the declaration in 2010, reversing a previous U.S. vote against it. It is intended to protect the rights of 370 million native peoples worldwide.

Can you feel it?
The Hype Machine can. The pre-Selection Sunday buzz is growing. Every game matters. Every loss hurts.
That's why so many folks were outraged when an official missed a call at the end of a crucial game. Too bad the ref couldn't go to the monitors. The NFL might know how to fix that.
And one Big Ten veteran should just retire now. He's pretty good, but he could make a fortune teaching other players to compete with his brand of tenacity. ...

Looking for Quality, not Quantity.
Let's get right to it........shall we? I was one of those that never thought I would come to a place like this to look for that special someone, but the truth is that special someone is not at the bar or club either. To me this is a safer option. I am a drama/stress free person. I don't have kids (love them, but God just didn't plan for me to have any just yet), the only kid I have a is 19 pound Shitzu boy; Milo. Few pictures attacked! The best thing about me is my politeness, fun spirits, positive outlook in life, and easy going attitude. I am half Italian and half Portuguese, born in Brazil. Yes I speak some Portuguese and Spanish, but my primary language is English. I came to this country in the way of adoption, when I was a young boy. Physically I stand at 6 feet tall, and weigh 200 pounds (average to stocky built). I have green and blueish eyes. I have short hair, high hair line. Sorry, I don't have a head full of hair. Brad Pit took what I had. Ha! What am I looking for: I am looking for a person that is real and as easy going. It doesn't take much to make me happy, in fact, making people smile makes me happiest. I'm not looking for serial daters. You know who you are! If you need a handout, send me your address, I'll send you some money. I find educated women attractive. Spontaneous and exotic is nice. Love a woman that can stand on her own two feet, goal oriented, go getter, and not afraid to speak. My ideal person is someone that is looking to settle down long term and willing to explore new things together (would love to travel more). Kids are not a bad thing, just have a good relationship with the father please. A kid needs to have his parents to be happy! Please read my criteria. If it doesn't sound like you, please don't waste our time. If you are stuck-up and been told to be picky and hard to please, please move-on. I don't have time for game, and let's face it. Nothing makes you happy! On the other hand, if you want to smile and forget about work for few hours, and have some good intelligent conversations; I might be your man. Take care and good luck! :)

Yes Virginia, more people in New Jersey would believe in Santa Claus if he dropped off a huge Mega Millions jackpot to one of our lottery players before visiting your state.
After no one hit the Mega Millions jackpot for the 14th consecutive time on Tuesday, the grand prize for the Friday, Dec. 23 drawing will be $173 million, with a cash option value of an estimated $129.5 million.
Winning Mega Millions numbers on Tuesday, Dec. 20 were as follows:
20 - 24 - 27 - 45 - 51 Mega Ball: 31.
Lottery Post reported that there were nine players who matched the first five numbers without the Mega ball, none of them coming from New Jersey. But our players fared better in the secondary prizes on Tuesday.
A lottery player from Bridgeton received some holiday cheer in the drawing in more ways than one. The News of Cumberland County reported that the Bridgeton player was one of four from New Jersey who won $10,000 third place prizes on Dec. 20. The Bridgeton ticket was sold at Supermarket Discount Liquors.
According to philly.com, the last Mega Millions winner came on November 1, when a California player won a jackpot worth $78 million in annuity value.
ABC News reported that a spokeswoman for New York's lottery said there has never been a Christmas Eve or Christmas Day winner in Mega Millions history. So far the closest came on Dec. 22, 2009 when a couple from New York won $165 million.
So there's always a first time. Christmas is the time to believe.

Product description
In the 1980s, the San Francisco Bay Area was heaven for hardcore headbangers. Shunning Hollywood hairspray and image in favor of a more dangerous street appeal, the Bay Area thrash metal scene was home to Exodus, Metallica, Testament, Possessed, Death Angel, Heathen, Vio-Lence, Attitude Adjustment, Forbidden, and Blind Illusion ? and served as a second home to like-minded similar bands like Slayer, Mercyful Fate, Anthrax, Megadeth, and more. Beginning as teenagers taking snapshots of visiting heavy metal bands during the 1970s, Brian "Umlaut" Lew and Harald "O." Oimoen documented the birth and growth of the local metal scene. Featuring hundreds of unseen live and candid color and black-and-white photographs, Murder in the Front Row captures the wild-eyed zeal and drive that made Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth into legends, with over 100 million combined records sold.

Is it possible that Zygier was neither a blabermouth nor a traitor, just a person of conscience? If he saw the inner workings of Facility 1391, for instance, which is a secret jail and torture facility (for Arabs, of course -- google the name Mustafa Dirani), or if he carried out some murders of Israel's political critics, he may have become disillusioned, as Vanunu did. Israel is a society that cannot tolerate whistleblowers. They tried to kill Vanunu as well by putting him in solitary for 11 years. How many other Zygier's and how many other Facility 1391s are there that have not come to light.

Korean Air (KAL) has reported a third quarter net profit of 584 billion Korean won ($523 million), up 121% from a year before.
Operating revenues grew 26.2% to 3.1 trillion Korean won, with the international passenger and cargo businesses the main contributors in the three months to 31 October, says the SkyTeam alliance member.
Operating profits tripled to 358 billion Korean won, it adds.
Passenger revenues were up 21.4% year-on-year to KRW1.82 trillion in the third quarter, thanks largely to the economic turnaround in China and Southeast Asia.
Cargo revenues rose 42.2% to 943.6 billion Korean won, with demand from Japan and exports of automobile parts and semiconductors contributing to this.
"Korean Air sees an encouraging rebound in the aviation industry going ahead," says the carrier, which adds that it is "well-positioned to capture the growth derived from the booming world travel demand".
The airline will add five Airbus 380 aircraft to its fleet by the end of 2011, with the first entering into service in May. This will increase its competitiveness on the Asia-Europe routes, adds KAL.

Waking Up to the World's Chaotic Heart
The coming-of-age story is both the oldest in literature—the Epic of Gilgamesh is coming-of-age writ large—and the most common. Half a dozen novels about a young protagonist and lost innocence seem to come out every few weeks, and the theme is virtually the entire basis of contemporary memoir-writing.
The story's universality poses a formidable challenge for writers, who usually try to bring something new to the telling by ratcheting up the shocks of adolescence so that a character's passage into adulthood is singularly scarring. Such is the case with Richard Ford's robust and powerful "Canada" (Ecco, 420 pages, $27.99), about the terrible events that take place around Dell Parsons when he is 15 years old. But unlike many similar works, the book goes deeper than the spectacle of trauma. Mr. Ford is able to tap into something momentous and elemental about the profound moral chaos behind the actions of seemingly responsible people.
Dell's story, which he narrates 50 years after it happened, is set in 1960 in Great Falls, Mont., where he lives with his twin sister, Berner. His father, Bev, a World War II veteran, is a hail-fellow-well-met, optimistic man with an "easy scheming nature" and numerous half-baked plans to make money. His mother, Neeva, is the daughter of Jewish immigrants and has a love for French poetry. In retrospect, Dell sees in his parents' mismatch the seeds of their undoing, "like a long proof in mathematics in which the first calculation is wrong, following which all other calculations move you further away from how things were when they made sense."
After Bev gets into debt from a small-time smuggling scheme, he decides to rob a bank in North Dakota, and Neeva agrees to drive the getaway car. Meanwhile, Berner is moodily preoccupied with her first boyfriend and Dell's mind is on the upcoming state fair—they think their parents have gone to scout some real estate. The first half of "Canada" is Dell's slow, methodical re-creation of the lead-up to the largely inexplicable robbery, the crime itself and the arrests soon afterward. Juxtaposed with this parental self-destruction—showing how bad events originate "just an inch away from the everyday"—are moments from Dell and Berner's ordinary childhoods.
Dell has a poignant boyhood fascination with chess and beekeeping, hobbies based on rules and ordered behavior. But in the tense days before his parents are arrested and their crime revealed, he superbly describes the line that cuts between what is known and what isn't—the startling realization that uncontrollable things are happening beyond his ken: "A black-and-white police car drove by two or three times that morning, and I know my mother saw it. I observed nothing to be wrong. The only thing I was conscious of was a sensation—and I couldn't have described it—of movement taking place around me. Nothing was visible at the surface of life, and it was the surface of life that I knew about."
In a last-minute arrangement made by his mother before her arrest, Dell is spirited into Canada by a family friend, who entrusts him to the care of a her brother, an oddly remote American named Arthur Remlinger. The novel's second half concerns Dell's life on the Saskatchewan prairie working for Remlinger in a hunting lodge. Dell, with his engrained trust of adults, tries to make a normal life from the circumstances, but again his faith in surfaces is shattered. Remlinger has a criminal past, and his reserved manner masks a violent nature. In the remote setting, even the landscape begins to seem unreliable: "There was no feeling, once the hills disappeared behind us, of a findable middle point from which other points could draw a reference," Dell says. "A person could easily get lost or go crazy here, since the middle was everywhere and everything at once."
Mr. Ford is best known for his novels about the middle-aged everyman Frank Bascombe, "The Sportswriter" (1986), "Independence Day" (1995) and "The Lay of the Land" (2006). "Canada" is the author's first book since 1990's "Wildlife" (with which it has much in common) not to revolve around that character. Those earlier works shared certain flaws that are also apparent in "Canada"—the story gets mired in lengthy inventories of physical surroundings and in repetitive philosophical ruminations. But on the whole the writing is clean and stripped-down, imbuing Dell's fortunes with a heavy, accumulating sense of inexorability—though it is the power of happenstance, not destiny, that Dell sees as the lesson of his story. By depicting tragedies without deep roots in reason or purpose, Mr. Ford has dramatized the frightening discovery of the world's anarchic heart. "If there was a hidden design," Dell realizes, "living almost never shed light on it."
Will Testerman's coming-of-age in the modern-day American West in Alyson Hagy's "Boleto" (Graywolf, 251 pages, $24) takes a more traditional route. Longing to find his way outside his father's failing Wyoming ranch, Will strikes out for Montana, where he works as a corral boss at a dude ranch, and then for California and a training facility for polo horses. At both stops he faces initiations into manhood that are so comfortably familiar you hardly even notice them taking place.
But you come to "Boleto," as you would to a ranch or a polo match, for the horses. The foremost of those animals here is a beautiful "blood bay filly" in which Will invests his hopes. The filly brings about Ms. Hagy's most charming writing, as here, when Will introduces the horse to a new home: "She walked across the pen, her black nose held forward like a probing finger. She made a murmuring sound high in her nostrils, then she actually whinnied. After a silent moment, she broke into a trot for three steps, stopped, then crow-hopped on her hind feet like a child playing hopscotch."
Will ultimately learns that the pure connection between a cowboy and a horse has no corollary in the world of double-dealing humans. "Boleto" doesn't take many chances, but this final discovery is surprisingly touching and bittersweet.
Not every coming-of-age tale requires the protagonist to hit the road. In "Dirt" (Harper, 258 pages, $25.99), novelist David Vann gives us 22-year-old Galen Schumacher and his overbearing mother living on a walnut farm in 1985 in the suburbs of Sacramento, Calif. ("a long, hot trough of crass").
As with "Caribou Island" last year, Mr. Vann suggests that madness is a hereditary trait activated by prolonged close quarters with family. Galen's ugly relationship with his mother is aggravated by a fight over an inheritance instigated by Galen's despicable aunt and his Jezebel-like teenage cousin. With the prospect of money in the air, the family members' customary backbiting escalates into something malevolent and explosive.
"Caribou Island" was a disturbing novel because its horror appeared to grow organically from petty domestic squabbles, making abrupt violence seem to lurk in any family's discord. "Dirt," by contrast, is broad and unreal. Mr. Vann tries for malicious humor by sending up Galen's pitiful fixation on New Age thinking ("With his pitchfork and his covering of dirt, he was being armed for a symbolic journey," and so on), but this is an author shooting fish in a barrel. The Schumachers are just too histrionically repellent for their breakdowns to be credible. Galen's coming-of-age revelation is that "what held his family together was violence." The source of that violence, however, is not geography or bloodline, as Mr. Vann would have us think, but hoary thriller novels.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 11/20/12
MINNEAPOLIS It's no surprise that the main objective for the Minnesota Twins this offseason will be to acquire pitching. The Twins' rotation had a 5.40 ERA last season, the worst in the American League and second-worst in all of baseball behind Colorado. Minnesota's five-man group remains a giant question mark, and several bullpen spots appear up in the air as well. "Starting pitching in particular, but any pitching would be good," Ryan said. "We need to find a staff here. We need to add to that rotation and give us choices and also allow us to provide some depth." Tuesday was the first day of what will surely be a busy stretch for Ryan and the Twins front office. All major league teams had to fill up their 40-man rosters by Tuesday in order to protect those players for MLB's Rule 5 draft, which takes place Dec. 6. during the winter meetings in Nashville. The Rule 5 draft allows teams to select players from other teams who fit a certain criteria in terms of service time and who...

Hi all,
We recently purchased a home. It was an older home (built 1963) that we knew needed a bit of work but we got a great deal and were fine with that. We had a home inspection that went fine and all was well.
The kitchen had a large amount of super ugly wallpaper and underneath the wallpaper we found what we assume is a small amount of mold.
Now we're faced with this added expense but I'm curious to see what you all think--is this something that the home inspector should have caught? Yes it was under wallpaper, but isn't that the point of having a home inspection?
Should I/would you call the Realtor/home inspector and make them aware they sold us a house with mold? We're already putting thousands of dollars into renovating this home and are starting to get financially drained. We were not expecting to have to remove mold, replace a wall, etc.
Thoughts/opinions appreciated. Thanks!
It looks like your post might have been missed so I'm bumping it up for attention. Anyone have BTDT experience or a suggestion to share?
Head over to the Holiday Helper forum and be a part of this wonderful Mothering tradition!
Wondering about Mothering in general? Check out Mothering's User Agreement!
It varies state to state with laws. If the seller knew there was mold and failed to disclose that then it some states that is illegal but you would have to prove that they knew. A regular home inspection generally isn't going to be peeling back wall paper to look for mold. If they come across obvious visible mold or obvious water damage then that is different and would of been warned about that in the inspection report. A lot of cases of mold are hidden and you aren't going to find it until you are ripping out walls, etc... There are such things are mold inspections just for this which is different then a regular home inspection by a certified mold inspector but sometimes still the buyer still is just surprised later.

The first cover I bought for the 1993 Mustang was a Coverking and was told it was equal to the Covercraft, it's not even close to the Covercraft Dustop. The Covercraft fits like a glove, soft and thicker! I am very anal with my cars and this cover is perfect!!

Sunday's Kobalt 500 looked a little bit like a demolition derby in the final three laps of the race.
In the end, however, the winner of last year's Kobalt 500 was also the winner of this year's race, as Kurt Busch overcame two caution flags in the final three laps, winning under a green-white finish after starting the race 11th.
NASCAR allows three attempts for a green-white finish and Busch finally crossed the finish line on the second attempt.
Once racing resumed after the last caution flag, Busch jumped out to a fast start, holding off second-place finisher Matt Kenseth and Juan Pablo Montoya, who was third.
"I'm just so happy to bring this car to victory lane," Busch said. "With Steve Addington (crew chief) and all his new ideas, I never knew how we could mesh them together and how soon we were able to do it. We were able to get it right and hit just perfect with the marks today."
Busch became the first driver since Cal Yarborough in the 1960s to win back-to-back spring races in Atlanta.
It would be hard to blame Busch if he felt like he had to win the race three times because of the green-white finishes.
"I said that sarcastically on the radio, a lot of times it comes over the wrong way," Busch said. "In years past, the leader would have took the yellow, won the race, and it would have been done. Now, we have gone to multiple green and white checkered flags. You have to adjust to whatever the circumstances to win these races.
With Sunday's victory, Busch has won 21 races on the Sprint Cup circuit, including three times in Atlanta.
The late-race fireworks started when Carl Edwards, who was 156 laps downs, got into the back of Brad Keselowski, bringing out the first of the final two yellow flags with three laps to go. The crash spoiled a solid day for Keselowski who was running sixth a the time.
Keselowski, who went airborne after the crash, finished 36th.
Edwards' was pulled out of the race and ordered to meet with NASCAR officials in what could have been perceived as a revenge move between Edwards and Keselowski.
"Brad knows the deal between him and I. The scary part was his car went airborne, which was not what I expected. At the end of the day, we are here to race and people have to respect one another and I have a lot of respect for people's safety,"Edwards said.
Another caution flag involving a dozen cars came out on lap 335, again delaying the end of the race again.
Nobody exactly dominated Sunday's 500-mile "joy ride" as 13 different drivers led the race that featured 31 lead changes.
Kasey Kahne was out front the longest, leading eight times for 144 laps, but the winner of last fall's Atlanta race settled for fourth place.
For Busch, it his second top-10 finish this year. He has won at least one race in nine consecutive seasons.
Busch led six time for 129 laps, including at the end en route to the victory.
Kevin Harvick, who was ninth in the Kobalt Tools 500, left Atlanta first in the Sprint Cup points chase with 644 points. Jimmie Johnson, who has won the points title four straight years, was 11th at AMS after winning the past two weeks. Pole sitter Dale Earnhardt Jr, never led a lap Sunday and finished 15th.
Local drivers Joey Logano was 35th and David Ragan was 37th.

Hello everybody
I'm just wondering if anybody has experience or ideas for success in training and selling horses. I was planning on buying young unbroken, nicely build, cheap horses ( 3-4 YO in the $500-$1000 range). I have a lot of experience training and breaking. As of right now, I have clients to train and break their horses. (so far all my clients were amazed of my work and could not believe how their horses have changed). The stable I'm going to board the horses at charges only 150/month which includes food and I will get a discount for helping out around the barn) I'm planning on working with a horse for about 2-4 Months. I'm training in western disciplines. By the time I sell the horse it will be able to:
- respect space and rider
- lead nicely
- stand tied
- desensitize (bomb proof)
- one rein stop
- listen to the seat
- lunching stage 1-3
- know 4 ways to back up
- yielding HQ on ground and when riding
- shoulder in shoulder out
- moves out of my space when asked
- lead departures
- speed control
- sliding stop
- side passing
- collection
- and a couple more things I will only remember after I submit this
Once the horse is ready to sell I was thinking of asking about $3,000- $4,000? What do you guys think? I'm only 22 and I would like some advice from someone who has experience in that field. Let's say I get a horse for $500, have him for 4 Months, which adds about $400 to investment so I spend $900 on that horse plus getting the hooves done is another $100. So I spend a total of $1000 on the horse and will sell it for about $ 3,000- 4,000 does is sound reasonable?
I'm a full time student and my job doesn't give me many hours, but the reason I want to do this is not just for money. I'm very passionate about horses. I love to train them and give them a good start in their lives. I would like to have my own horse, but I kind of don't because I enjoy training and breaking horses so much. And I like to say if I don't have my own horse I have more time helping other horses and their owners to understand each other and make their lives together more enjoyable :) I also want to have more experience, grow and get my name out there.

Home > artist collaboration
Nike 6.0 has pushed past their previous watermark once again, this time in the form of their upcoming collaborative campaign for Fall/Holiday Apparel with photographer Todd Selby. Rather than just hiring Selby, the Nike 6.0 campaign will be meshed with his personal project theselby.com. The Selby Project is simply a collection of "interesting people in their creative spaces." In this vein, Selby shot Garret Reynolds, Mason Aguirre, James Stewart, Nigel Sylvester, Michel Bourez, and Ben Horan in their hometowns dipped in 6.0 Fall/Holiday apparel. The works will appear in 6.0's print ads as well as on a special mini-site dedicated to the project set to launch at nike6.com/clothes later this week. Above and after the jump is Aguirre by Selby in Duluth, Minnesota rocking select apparel pieces including the the Blocked Crew and the Road Dog Flannel. Stay tuned for more from this project this week.
Nike 6.0 is going so big in SoCal right now. As we mentioned a few times before, they swooped in and took over a whole motel in downtown San Clemente and turned it into the Motel No Tell, an artist and athlete-inspired respite away from the bro brah craze of the OC's action sports event packed summer. Last week during Agenda and the US Open of Surfing, they threw down a crazy jammy jam to release the Stinkween Braata with Madsteez and Stink. All stunts were pulled out: They had lasers, a Delorean and a $36,000 sublimation machine so people could do one of a kind sublimated tees on the spot. And since kids can't drink booze, they even had a candy room so the young'uns could tweak out on suger! Roll the video.
As an exclusive for Agenda, Krooked decided to do a super limited run of 333 of this Mark Gonzales deck. Only retailers attending the show have a chance to get these and when the run is sold out, it's a wrap. Comes with a special pair of glasses. Take a look at the top after the jump.
For their newest collection, Manik Skateboards has named Seattle based tattoo artist and skater, Chris Adams, as their artist in residence. Adams' art will appear on decks, tees, and sweatshirts, all of which are shipping to retailers on August 15th. If you want some CA ink direct, Adams is currently working out of Super Genius Tattoo. Take a look at the whole dope collection after the jump.
Altamont is going to be at Agenda in Huntington Beach this week to show off all of their new artist collaborations for Spring 2010. You know they don't play -they've got Ralph Steadman, Invisible:Man, Tim Kerr, Neckface, and No Age. Come back Wednesday for some looks at the collection.
We showed you the ill Madsteez x Stink Nike 6.0 Stinkween Braata last week, now check out how this creation came to life in this video featuring both Mark Madsteez and Evan "Stink" Rossel and their collabed character creation "StinkWeen" which is itself "a fusion of Madsteez's scrappy cartoon self-portrait "Weeneze" and a mischievous alter-ego doodle by Stink." After you peep the vid, head over to Stinkween.com and enter your own Stinkween-inspired character to win a hand-painted portrait of yourself done by Madsteez himself. In a complete takeover, Madsteez will also be down in Huntington Beach, California this week painting three murals at Jack's Surfboards just in time for both the US Open of Surfing and the shoe release on July 24 at both Jacks and the Motel NoTell.
Nike 6.0 has another rad limited edition kick coming down the pipe. This time it's their new Braata model hooked up by the artist Mark Paul Deren (a.k.a. Madsteez) and his protege Evan "Stink" Rossell. Done up in an electric green, purple, yellow, and black with glow in the dark laces and a clear sole laid over custom artwork by Madsteez and Stink, the Stinkween Braata will hit in super limited quantities right in time of the US Open of Surfing. These joints will get you noticed. Jack's Surfboards has just put them up for pre-order here. More images after the jump.
Mike Giles has just posted an image of his new deck for the contributor organization we mentioned a couple days ago as part of the Mumble x Furni collab. If you don't know about contributor, it's a program to provide skateboards to any kid in Canada that cannot afford one. Although you might not associate Canada with poverty, there are evidently some people outside of the country's generous social welfare system who need some help. In any case, skateboards for kids is a worthwhile cause anywhere in the world. For the project Giles re-interpreted his first pro deck, the Jeff Grosso Santa Cruz. Check out the original reference after the jump.
Like the opening of Al Capone's vaults, but this time with something of value actually inside of them, KCDC has just put the last few remaining pairs of their Chukka Low collab with Vans and Neckface out for sale. You better go hard to Brooklyn if you want to get a pair of these.
In addition to the Motel No Tell poppin off down in San Clemente, Nike 6.0 has also teamed up with Jack's Surfboards to present the Pier Pressure surf comp in Huntington Beach from June 28th to the 29th. Taking it up another notch, they linked with Jimbo Phillips, son of the legendary Jim Phillips, to produce the event artwork and 24 pairs of hand painted Nike 6.0 Cush's. Five pairs will be sold through the Jack's online store, twelve will be sold at the Motel No Tell, and the other seven will be promo'd to a handful of the raddest influencers on the planet. To keep up on all the madness going on at the Motel No Tell go here. To keep an eye on those five pairs dropping at Jack's go here. And for some more pics, yep, they're here too, right after the jump.

Being told a story is one our earliest memories, personally and primally.
"We are a species addicted to story," writes Jonathan Gottschall in "The Storytelling Animal." "Story is for humans as water is for a fish. Nothing is so central to the human condition."
Gottschall writes that "story-like activities dominate human life." They are a form of "cognitive play" and a source of joy.
Stories were passed along orally until man developed the written word.
But for the past 60 years, many, probably most, of our stories have been told to us by television.
Gottschall, who also teaches at Washington & Jefferson College in Pennsylvania, writes that Americans spend 1,900 hours a year - more than five hours a day - in front of TV and movie screens. And the past 17 days have been spent watching the just-ended Summer Olympics on NBC.
They were the most-watched Olympic Games of all time. And Milwaukee was among cities with the highest percentage of households watching the games, which aired on WTMJ-TV (Channel 4). The only time the Olympics were not the top-rated prime-time local broadcast was when local love for the Green Bay Packers trumped Usain Bolt's gold-medal run into Olympic history Thursday night.
Other top cities in percentage of Olympic viewers included Salt Lake City - Utah was the site of the 2002 Winter Olympics - and Denver, home to one of the U.S. Olympic training centers that sent athletes to the London games.
What's behind Milwaukee's Olympics enthusiasm?
"One totally off-the-cuff theory," Gottschall wrote in an email, is that "people from your neck of the woods" are more patriotic on average than other Americans. Seems plausible that Midwesterners would rate higher for that than coastal folks."
Also, Wisconsin's "immigrant heritage" may make us more vested in the results of an international competition, Richard Goedkoop, retired professor of communications at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, said in an email.
You could further generalize that high interest here is a working-class response to seeing hard work rewarded.
Or maybe it's just that high unemployment means that more people are at home watching television.
Television has always been a "fiction delivery system," Gottschall writes in "The Storytelling Animal."
Trashy pulp reality shows, hard-boiled police procedurals and novella-size sitcoms are all created equal when it comes to the need for dramatic conflict. While the drama of television fiction is prefabricated, the Olympics are intrinsically dramatic.
Sports, Gottschall wrote in Psychology Today, "is a story factory."
It has "suspenseful action leading up to a decisive and hopefully cathartic climax. And a whole industry" of journalists and pundits "draw the storylines, tout the rivalries and define the heroes and villains."
But Jennifer Escalas, associate professor of marketing at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, believes the tape-delayed aspect of NBC's packaging and presentation of the Olympics had a negative impact on viewer appreciation of the games.
"Research shows much of the compelling drama is lost if a viewer watches a tape delay, even if the outcome is not known," she wrote in an email.
Why are other people so invested in watching other people play athletic games in general? Doing so, Gottschall writes in his book, is "a low-cost and vicarious" way of gathering information "without the potentially staggering costs of having to gain this experience firsthand."
Escalas said the appeal of watching televised sport lies in "the psychology of narratives."
Good stories "involve people engaged in actions to achieve their goals. Drama is created when they are thwarted. Unexpected events also add to the drama. The Olympics provide this drama presenting us with goals that are achieved through hard work, training and good luck" or are thwarted, Escalas said.
Background stories about the athletes' struggles to achieve their goals make the drama even more compelling, she said.
All of which is another way to say that the Olympics became our latest favorite bedtime story.
What will be the next one?
WISN-TV (Channel 12) airs an election eve special, "Wisconsin Decides," hosted by Kathy Mykleby and Craig McKee, Monday at 9 p.m. The program will feature all candidates in the U.S. Senate race. Reporters include Kent Wainscott, Joyce Garbaciak and Mike Gousha. The Republican primary election will be held Tuesday.
Veteran Wisconsin radio programmer Joe Calgaro is the new program director at WHQG-FM (102.9).
He replaces Keith Hastings, who is stepping down to care for his ailing father and look for opportunities outside radio, said Annmarie Topel, vice president and manager of Milwaukee Radio Group, which operates the station. MRG is owned by Saga Communications. Hastings has been at WHQG for 15 years and with Saga for 20 years. Calgaro was program director at WAPL-FM in Appleton for the past 14 years. He will continue working as the Green Bay Packers Lambeau Field announcer.
Bad idea of the day. The 1980s sitcom "ALF," about a furry alien that was played by a puppet, is being made into a hybrid computer-generated-animation/live-action feature film. The film is expected to feature Paul Fusco, the voice of the original character.
CNN has suspended host Fareed Zakaria after he admitted plagiarizing a story from The New Yorker for his column in Time Magazine. Time also suspended him. He admitted his actions in a statement. "I made a terrible mistake. It is a serious lapse and one that is entirely my fault." Both Time and CNN suspended him for a month pending further review.

You can spend your money for whatever you want, even for Kodak "photo" materials. Honesly, one of the reason I never used Kodak is that I never in my life beleived in Am business. I do not have Am car also. Just always try to avoid it. I made one time mistake and lost $16000 (nice business). Well it just proved my atitude is right (for me at least), so and the price is.
What I care when buy and spend my money is ratio BUSINESS/LOVE (PASSION).
This ratio is veeeery different in England, Germany, ..., and US. It is not blaming people in US, for they have not many things in common with US big business condition.
Here is one example for you: In japan many will die for the company, which is completely opposite to Americans. We know it from stories, from what really happened, from experince. That is how Fuji Film came to be so sucessful (not to talk about other industies in Japan). So it is that ratio I talk about. I like people with passion for what they do and I trust them and buy what they make. It should be even emphased when artists are in the game.
If you still like to buy Kodak materials good luck with that people.

LGBTQ Resources
Queer Resource Center, Basement of Morrow Dormitory
Angie Tissi, Coordinator
Amherst College is a place where queer students and allies have thrived. Here you will find a diverse and vibrant LGBTQQIAA: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual and ally community.
The queer community is centered around the Queer Resource Center (QRC), whose mission is to serve as the hub of the LGBT community on campus. The Center provides numerous events, resources and leadership opportunities for all students at Amherst College. We encourage you to check our website to stay informed of events on campus, as well as to connect to resources.
There are many resources for Amherst students interested in LGBTQ topics. The Queer Resource Center located in the basement of Morrow Dormitory, has a library of LGBTQ-themed books, movies, magazines and other information. The QRC is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. through 5 p.m. and Tuesday from 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. In addition, we host weekly meetings and social events outside of our regular hours. The QRC is a great place to study or just hang out. We offer Safe Zone Trainings and Speakers Bureau Panels to learn about and hear the stories of our Amherst College LGBTQ students.
Angie Tissi, Director of the Queer Resource Center, is available to meet confidentially with any student (in the QRC or elsewhere on campus) to provide information and/or support. For more information about the QRC or to schedule a confidential appointment, contact Angie Tissi at email@example.com.
The QRC is home to many LGBTQ student organizations. Pride Alliance, Queer Women of Amherst College (QWAC), Men of the Valley and Queer People of Color (QPOC) are registered student organizations with a mission to serve lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual students and their allies on campus. Through educational programming addressing topics such as coming out; LGBTQIA athletes; the intersection of identities such as sexuality and race, religion, class, gender identity and other identities; HIV/AIDS awareness; sexual health; how to be an LGBTQIA ally; and more, these organizations seek to improve understanding of and support for LGBTQIA issues.
Students with any questions about the Pride Alliance, QWAC, Men of the Valley, QPOC or queer life on campus in general should feel free to check out the QRC website/Facebook, email the Director at firstname.lastname@example.com, talk to a group member or come to our weekly meetings or open hours. Both occur in the QRC; these times are listed in the Queer Resource Center website. We look forward to seeing you on campus!

Evaline is an exciting band with simple enough origins: six buddies from California who banded together for the love of music. They started performing in very modest settings until eventually they found themselves on big stages and famous venues.
