We would like to applaud the Havelock Youth Soccer Association and its approach to construction of a new outdoor turf soccer stadium at the Havelock Recreation Complex.
We would like to applaud the Havelock Youth Soccer Association and its approach to construction of a new outdoor turf soccer stadium at the Havelock Recreation Complex.
The leaders of the association came up with a concept: to create a facility in which "indoor" soccer could be played.
Technically, it won�t be completely indoors, but the facility would be built to indoor soccer standards with walls that allow for balls to stay in play.
If you are used to outdoor soccer, indoor soccer is a vastly different game. The action is end-to-end, since the space is confined, and the sport offers fast-paced excitement that some compare to ice hockey or indoor lacrosse.
It�s a sport that can appeal to some parents who never considered soccer as an option for their children, and thus the facility could help grow the sport.
But, here�s what has us really excited.
First, anything that has the potential to get young children more active in this era of childhood obesity is a good thing.
Second, and more importantly for taxpayers, the soccer association plans to pay for construction of the facility with its own money.
The estimated construction cost is $20,000 to $25,000. That�s a huge expense for any nonprofit group.
However, the league plans to raise the money through sponsorships and donations.
League treasurer Bob Hardin came before the Havelock Board of Commissioners during Monday night�s meeting with the concept of a plan. He simply wanted to ask the board for permission to start a campaign to raise money for the facility. After all, it is to be built on city property at the recreation complex.
What he didn�t do was come with hat in hand, seeking a large chunk of money from the city � and by that we mean city taxpayers.
In this day and age when it seems so many want some sort of government handout, the league�s approach to constructing the soccer stadium is refreshing. It�s this kind of thinking that we hope makes residents more likely to support the association�s efforts.
We believe the soccer facility can be a good thing for the city and could serve to draw visitors to the area for tournaments and special events. But what we find appealing is the league�s approach to constructing it.
We�re sorry for the pun, but here�s hoping the league reaches its goal.

Fine Gael wants to remain in power for the centenary of the 1916 Rising – and is planning a general election date to ensure it stays is government.
The Irish Independent reports that the senior coalition partner is already planning the date of the next general election.
The report says party strategists have worked out the actual dates for a general election campaign by stretching the rules to the limit.
Junior partners in the Labour Party are currently casting doubt over the future of the Government but their coalition partners are looking to April 8, 2016 as polling day in the next general election.The move comes as Prime Minister Enda Kenny committed the Government to see out its full five-year term.
And Kenny has denied reports the government is in crisis despite its failure to renegotiate the bank bail-out deal with the EU and the IMF.
Kenny said: "The Tanaiste as leader of the Labour Party and I as leader of Fine Gael are absolutely committed to running a full term in this administration."
The proposed amendment to the abortion laws will also present sensitive challenges to the Government, according to the paper.
Kenny however has moved to quell suggestions of the Government collapsing if it can't get a deal on the bank debt.
He has also said the Coalition still expects a deal on the Anglo Irish Bank debt before the next €3.1billion repayment is due in March.
Labour Party sources are sceptical that the government can survive any failure to land a new bank deal.
A senior party source told the paper: "Softly, softly hasn't sealed the deal yet. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach."
If the Government serves a full term, Kenny would be in power for US President Barack Obama's final St Patrick's Day in office and the 1916 Rising celebrations.
A government source confirmed: "April 8, 2016 is the election day."
Proposed election timeline:
2011 general election:
February 25
2011 first Dail sitting:
March 9, 2016
Last day Dail can sit:
March 8 2016
St Patrick's Day:
March 17 2016
Easter Sunday:
March 27
2016 general election:
April 8

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp is looking forward to competing with new Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola, and is aiming to take Jose Mourinho's place as the former Barcelona trainer's nemesis.
The 42-year-old became arch rivals with the Portuguese between 2010 and 2012 as the Blaugrana fought out numerous heated battles with their old foes following the Portuguese coach's arrival in the Spanish capital.
And Klopp is looking for a similar fierce rivalry with the future Bayern boss, only without the bad blood.
"I want to become Guardiola's new Mourinho. We want to be an unpleasant opponent for Bayern in the next few years," Klopp told Sport Bild.
"If Pep Guardiola doesn't like me during the game or because of the result, that's not a problem.
"I do not believe that Pep has bad feelings toward his rivals, though. I think that I will get along very well with Pep. I have a good relationship with Mourinho as well."
Guardiola recently signed a three-year deal with Bayern, starting at the end of this season.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced plans to regulate water from hydraulic fracturing and other natural gas production from shale.
Wastewater discharged by companies producing natural gas from shale formations, including chemically laced water used in the controversial extraction process known as hydraulic fracturing, would be regulated under the EPA initiative, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.
The EPA announcement comes amid growing concern over the effect shale gas operations are having on local drinking water sources.
Companies often release water from the operations into municipal wastewater systems that lack the technology to completely remove the chemicals, salt and minerals before sending it into streams and other surface water, said Ben Grumbles, president of the Clean Water America Alliance.
Environmental groups said they welcomed the EPA announcement.
"The nation is in the midst of a fracking-fueled gas rush which is generating toxic wastewater faster than treatment plants can handle it," environmental law group Earthjustice said in a statement.
"The EPA's proposal is a common-sense solution for this growing public health problem and will help keep poisons out of our rivers, streams and drinking water."
The EPA said it would propose final rules for wastewater from shale gas production in 2014.

About the Author
Mr. Fialkoff is a senior writer/editor with the National Criminal
Justice Reference Service.
Thousands of ill or disabled inmates are
incarcerated in Federal, State, and local
correctional facilities across the United
States. The challenge of helping them obtain
medical treatment and services after they
are released is not a new one, but a recently
released report looks at three programs that
are assisting inmates in applying for such
Helping Inmates Obtain Federal Disability
Benefits: Serious Medical and Mental
Illness, Incarceration, and Federal Disability
Entitlement Programs—cosponsored by the
National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—reveals
that many experts believe that continuing
treatment after inmates are released
results in a more successful return to society
and could prevent the spread of tuberculosis,
hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS, and drug-resistant
strains of viruses, thus minimizing the cost
to community and corrections health care
systems. It also could reduce crime—and
hence recidivism—by releasees who
continue to receive the medical and mental
health treatment they need.
Federal disability benefits—Medicaid,
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI),
Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI), and
veterans' compensation funds—offer one
solution. Unfortunately, as many officials
know, the process of applying for Federal
benefits is often complex, and incarceration
makes it difficult for inmates to collect
their medical information. Three programs
investigated in the NIJ study demonstrate,
however, that assisting severely ill inmates
with applying for these benefits before they
leave prison may dramatically increase their
chances of receiving benefits postrelease and
ease their transition back into the community.
The study looked at benefits assistance
programs in three jurisdictions:
Recognizing the challenges of discharge
planning for severely ill inmates, the
researchers offered six recommendations
for agencies that want to implement
similar programs:
Helping inmates apply for medical and cash
assistance is an important way to support
the return of severely ill inmates to the
community, according to the report. The
researchers recommended, however, that
such assistance should be part of a more
extensive discharge plan that includes case
management and housing services.

Lewis & Clark (Ore.) remained unbeaten by jumping out to a quick start and holding off the Scots for a 37-28 victory at Macalester Stadium.
The Pioneers led 24-7 early in the third quarter before Mac made a game of it, getting to within three points at 24-21 and 31-28 at the midway mark of the fourth quarter. Lewis & Clark, however, held on for the win.
Lewis & Clark compiled 593 yards in offense and is now 3-0 on the season. Macalester had 407 yards and 23 first downs, and is now 1-3 on the year.
T. Joe Loiselle (Sr., Chippewa Falls, Wis.) ran for 139, mostly in the second half, and scored on a 48-yard scamper in the third quarter. Quarterback Clark Bledsoe (Jr., Jacksonville, Fla. / Episcopal) had an efficient day throwing the ball, going 17-for-23 with three TDs and no interceptions. He tossed touchdowns to John Johnson (So., McKenzie, Tenn.), Riley Koval (Jr., Mount Horeb, Wis.) and Mike Snavely (Sr., Minneapolis, Minn. / Southwest).
Leading Mac's defense was Joe Dykema with 13 tackles. Nate Sands was in on 11 stops, while Will Dhonau (Sr., Fond du Lac, Wis.) had 1 ½ sacks, 2 ½ tackles for loss, and a recovered fumble.
Lewis & Clark quarterback Keith Welch went 26-for-36 for 337 yards and no picks, and had a pair of 100-yard receivers (both with nine catches). Joevonte Mayes rushed for 98 yards.
The Scots play host to Snelling Ave. rival Hamline next Saturday (Oct. 1) at 1 p.m. This will be the 112th time these two schools have met on the gridiron, making it the longest-running rivalry in the state.

Roland Boutique is a world of instruments that inspire electronic music creativity by expanding on the legendary sounds of the past with a workflow to suit the modern producer and musician.
The sound of each instrument is immense and iconic with each original inspiration being a solid foundation to expand upon. The compact, portable form-factor of Roland Boutique allows for immediate creativity — whether it is performing live on stage, producing in your studio or creating for the pure enjoyment — Roland Boutique delivers powerful sound, anywhere.
The 1980s were a dynamic period for music production. Producers were experimenting in the studio, searching for new sounds with new genres being forged at a furious pace. But it wasn't until the arrival of digital synthesizers when the decade truly found its voice.
The Roland D-50 Linear Synthesizer arrived in 1987 as the first Roland digital synthesizer with "Linear Arithmetic (LA) Synthesis" at its core - an innovative mixture of attack/transient- and loop-samples blended with digitally synthesized waveforms. This gave the D-50 the realism of expensive digital samplers, with the expressiveness of an instrument, and the polish of a high-end studio thanks to the first onboard digital effects in a synthesizer. The culminating sound was massively influential with the iconic, beautifully crafted presets featuring as the cornerstone of huge international hits.
But thirty years on, the combination of sampling and synthesis is as relevant today as the era in which the D-50 shined so brightly.
Introducing the Roland Boutique D-05 Linear Synthesizer: a compact, modern version of the original D-50 with Digital Circuit Behavior (DCB) technology providing the digital synth engine and the exact PCM attack- and loop-samples as the original D-50 to precisely recreate every tonal nuance in stunning detail.
The D-05 also has some exciting updates. The 64-step, polyphonic sequencer is great for performance and sparking new ideas. It can store tempo and patch changes, and can sequence shuffle and gate timing. And the built-in arpeggiator adds movement to the already evocative sounds. The D-05 also has all of the preset patches from the four rare D-50 voice cards, as well as all new patches created specifically for the next generation of electronic music.
Early digital synthesizers were born from an era of processor and technological advancements that culminated in a world of inspiring sounds, never before conceived. At this time, Roland created a number of early proprietary digital synthesis systems. Structured Adaptive, Differential Interpolation, and Linear Arithmetic sound engines all arose from these pioneering times of hardware and software ingenuity. This period of instrument innovation evoked "a sound of the future" that inspired a generation of musicians, and defined an era of music.
By By Johnson Blue Betsey Satin Heeled Betsy Blue Johnson Heidi Sandals Wedding Bow However, the first processors and sound engines of the time had inherent limitations, restrictions and technical barriers to overcome. These constraints in early digital synthesizer technology gave each instrument its own character and sonic identity. It is this unique character that is the heart of the instrument and is what the AIRA Engineering Team have set out to recreate with Digital Circuit Behavior (DCB).
DCB faithfully reproduces original Roland digital synthesis systems through the same careful considerations made at the technology's genesis. Every aspect of the digital sound source is analyzed through DCB; from the algorithm calculation method, its accuracy of interpolation values and the behavior of the native processor pushed to its maximum capacity. This gives a true recreation of the original digital waveform generation, the behavior of the parameters and its digital effects – to exist in this day on a state-of-the-art digital platform used by the modern producer and musician.
DCB allows for these classic sounds of the digital synthesizer to live on; to inspire a new generation, to be the foundation of new genres and create a musical revolution of their very own.
Legowelt, a.k.a Danny Wolfers, is a one-of-a-kind producer who has created his own musical path that does not align with traditional genres or sound. All Legowelt productions are filled with head-turning moments only capable through his wizardry of all things synthesizer.
We had the pleasure of sharing with him the Roland Boutique D-05 Linear Synthesizer - a compact reproduction of the Roland D-50 from the late 1980s, one of the most influential synthesizers ever produced.
Heeled Johnson Betsy Johnson Heidi Blue Satin Betsey Wedding Sandals Blue By By Bow In a matter of days, Legowelt had created a bank of 64 patches that could only come from his unique, creative space. This bank is a mix of punchy, percussive patches (suited to the D-05 in-built sequencer and arpeggiator) with dreamy, ambient pads to suit anything from deep techno to lo-fi hip-hop.
These patches have been made available for free for all Roland Boutique D-05 users. Click on the link below to download and add to your own Roland Boutique D-05 Linear Synthesizer.
Linear Arithmetic Synthesis for a New Generation
1987 saw the beginning of a new era for Roland; the birth of "a new universe of sound beyond the limits of conventional synthesis". The catalyst was 'Linear Arithmetic Synthesis' and the instrument was the Roland D-50. Roland had set out to create a form of synthesis unlike anything heard before. The hybrid mix of sample playback and classic synthesizer waveforms was defined as 'LA Synthesis' and created a new approach to sound design and production. Hybrid layering gave percussive patches a new level of realism. Long, sustained pads were swept up in movement and evolving dynamics that defined the new-age and ambient genres. Combined with the first in-built chorus, delay/reverb and EQ digital effects on a synthesizer – the Roland D-50 quickly became a game-changer of its time. The factory sounds of the D-50 become iconic, and instantly recognizable in popular songs and film scores of the late 80's. Presets like 'Digital Native Dance' and 'Fantasia' perfectly capture the lush, dense and complex sounds of the D-50 and created a lasting imprint on the culture of a generation. Close your eyes, hold a chord and embrace the expansive, ethereal universe of the Roland D-50.
The Legendary TR-808 Sound in the Palm of Your Hand
There are few musical instruments that have affected the course of modern music like the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer. The term '808' has an immediate sonic, electronic and aesthetic signature. Inside the all-analog monster lies a big, booming BASS of a kick drum that drives a robotic clap, a brash cowbell and sizzling cymbals for a future-symphonic rhythm track. Combined with its bold black body, scrolling lights and sixteen iconic-colored sequencer buttons, the TR-808 will always be unmistakable in its form and function. The day the TR-808 fell into the hands of visionary musicians and producers became the day that the idiosyncratic sound of the 808 found its voice. The 808 imparted a lasting impression on popular, electronic, hip-hop and R&B music. But perhaps its greatest legacy is that "808" means so many things to so many people. A simple rhythm box described by three-digits managed to transcend musical genres and reach a place of cultural significance. Its spirit and sound resonates to this day, inspiring new music and sub-genres with each generation of visionary. And so the cycle continues – much like its driving, looping patterns – forging a new path into the rhythmic future.
Betsey Wedding Heidi Heeled Satin Johnson Sandals By By Betsy Blue Johnson Blue Bow Four Times the Sounds in A Fraction of the Size
The synthesizer was the zeitgeist of music in the early 80's. Almost every band on TV and radio featured at least one keyboard player, perched proudly behind a rack of synthesizers. This era of music saw performance and synthesis come to a convergence: the "synth star" and Roland SH-101 was born. Battery-powered, sleek lines, compact design, and wearable with a strap and grip, the SH-101 was designed to take center stage. But beneath its extroverted design lay a powerful monophonic synth voice that could transition from smooth to WILD… all at your fingertips. It wasn't until the 90's when this portable powerhouse was adopted by electronic music producers and featured in countless techno, house and electronica albums. The booming sub-oscillator, throbbing pulse-width modulation and simple 100-step sequencer combined for a sound that gave the "101" a cult following. Like the synth stars of decades passed, the Roland SH-101 continues to shine brightly, continues to be revered and continues to inspire.

Worried about making a great impression on the first day of school?
Even Miss Teen USA, Logan West, admits to feeling nervous on first days. "I was like petrified," the 18-year-old says. "I think it's just because it's a new year, it's new people, it's everything."
Often it's tempting to want to start a new school year — or any new chapter — with a totally new look as well. Just last weekend Miley Cyrus chopped her long locks into an edgy pixie crop and tweeted it for all the world to see.
"Miley's cut is a bold move, and I have to say it's flattering on her," says Yesenia Almonte, beauty director for Seventeen magazine. But too big a change could backfire.
"Girls always imagine that they'll return to school looking a million times better than they did in the previous year," she says. But drastic changes can end up seeming "fake-y." Instead, a girl might incorporate a bit of edginess with more subtle changes, such as bold accessories or black winged eyeliner.
Almonte says high school and college women take cues in part from the rich and famous. "Teens are influenced by celebrities and they look to them for inspiration, not just for special occasions like prom and homecoming, but just for everyday school looks," she says.
For Seventeen readers, big influencers are Selena Gomez, Bella Thorne, Keke Palmer, Emma Stone, Taylor Swift and reality TV stars such as Kendall and Kylie Jenner (from the Kardashian clan). "They really love the girls from 'Pretty Little Liars,'" Almonte says, who "continuously sport these amazing hair and makeup looks."
Readers love Zooey Deschanel too. "Her role on the TV show ['New Girl'] is such an awkward yet ordinary normal girl that our readers relate to because our readers are just normal girls going to school, going through normal life situations," Almonte says.
Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, Miley Cyrus, Alexa Chung, Willow Smith, Vanessa Hudgens and Lauren Conrad are also popular, regularly appearing among the top searches on TeenVogue.com.
But more than ever, teens are embracing their unique features too. "I feel like our girls are taking a trend and they're making it their own," Almonte says. "If the girls are wearing glasses, they're embracing it. If they have braces, they're rocking it out. If they have a face full of freckles, they're showing it off. I think girls are really embracing everything that makes their beauty different and unique. … They are expressing that in such a positive way that others embrace it as well. There's a lot of positivity happening with teen girls today that's incredible to watch."
Experimenting with hair is a time-honored way to make a statement, even without going to the extremes of a Cyrus-style cut. Teen hairstyles differ from adult 'dos in two key ways: hair color and accessories. Bright hair elastics, headbands and jeweled clips are "more young and teen-focused. … And streaks of color are something that you'll see more of with the younger girls," Almonte says. "Color is where they are experimenting. They're into the ombre effect. They're into highlights. They're into bold color."
Cool hair doesn't have to be pricey. "There's so much in the market that you can buy and do yourself at home. … It's more about knowing how to use these [at-home color] kits," Almonte says, adding that teens are also wearing affordable, natural-looking synthetic hair extensions, especially for special occasions.
As for style, braids are strong this season, though with a new spin. "I've seen celebrities do thick braids and skinny braids together, or they're doing Dutch braids," in which the braid sits on top of the hair, Almonte says.
Another big trend has been very sleek and perfect ponytails, "not as messy as they used to be," she says.
Top knots, low side buns and beach waves are popular too.
As far as texture, "there's an organic hair movement happening where girls and celebrities are really embracing their natural texture, whatever that may be," Almonte says. "You see girls like Solange Knowles who basically decided to chop off her hair and start over and Jordin Sparks, who as of recently has been tweeting that her hair is growing out and she's growing it out naturally with no relaxer."
To find the best style, Lynn Tully, head of "American Idol's" hair department for the last three seasons, says teens need to learn to communicate with hairstylists.
"Communication is a little trickier sometimes with younger people," she says. "They're not always comfortable being honest."
But honesty will get a better result.
"If you really don't like something. just speak up because at the end of the day the hairdresser wants you to be pleased, because we want you to come back," Tully says. Show the stylist pictures of styles you like and talk with him or her about what will work for your hair texture and face shape. And really think about your lifestyle before considering a new look — how much time and upkeep will a new hairdo take?
Don't be afraid to try new things, as long as your style is genuinely you, beauty queen West says. "If wearing your hair in a crazy bun is what you want to do, wear it that way. If wearing an Afro is what you want to do, do it," she says. "But be comfortable with who you are because if you go in feeling uncomfortable about the way you look then it's easy for people to get to you. It leaves you vulnerable. So as long as you are comfortable you'll be fine."

Wednesday, Jan. 29, Friday Jan. 31 and Saturday Feb. 1. On Wednesday, Jan. 29, the Red Devils played the Emery Spartans at Castle Dale. The two teams were tight for most of the contest, but the Red Devils lost control of the game and their lead in the third quarter.
The Spartans finally overtook the Red Devils in scoring after lagging for the first half of the game. Emery continued to put points on the board throughout the third and fourth quarters, ultimately defeating Grand by a final score of 68-54.
"We didn't play well, but we played with them," said Red Devil head coach Brook Shumway. "We just lost momentum and didn't finish very well."
On Friday, Jan. 31, the Red Devils faced the Wasatch Academy Tigers in Moab. Grand battled against Wasatch Academy throughout the first half of the game, scoring eight points to the Tiger's 10 at the end of the first quarter.
But the Tigers continued to put points on the board, leaving the Red Devils struggling to catch up. In the end, Wasatch Academy dominated Grand and the Tigers cruised to a 75-32 win.
GCHS seniors Adam Jenkinson and Trevor Bertuzzi were unable to play on Friday so their positions on the starting varsity team were filled by juniors Tanner White and Jasen Christensen. Seniors on the starting varsity team included Koi Cook, Kaden Risenhoover and Hunter Stitzer.
The Red Devils traveled to Green River on Saturday, Feb. 1, for a non-region contest against the Pirates. During the game, players from both teams wore pink shirts to help raise support for breast cancer awareness.
The Red Devils were able to gain very little momentum against the Green River team – a contest that ended with Grand taking another non-region loss as the Pirates won by the score of 57-49.
"We couldn't get anything against [Green River]," said Shumway.
Jenkinson remained unable to play in that contest and his spot on the starting team was covered by White.
This week, the Red Devils are scheduled to face the San Juan Broncos on Thursday, Feb. 6, and to play a non-region home game against the Duchesne Eagles on Friday, Feb. 7.
Thursday's game will prove important for the Red Devils, said Shumway. "This is the biggest game of the season," he said. "It's a much needed region win that we have to have."
Grand's freshman team will play San Juan in Blanding at 4 p.m., followed by the junior varsity game at 5:30 p.m. The varsity matchup against the Brocos is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Samuel Worthington of Worthington Springs, Florida was the g.son of the above Samuel and the son of John and Elizabeth (Davis) Worthington b.1785, New Berry S.C. d. Otter Creek, Levy Co. Florida. Samuel was very eccentric and had quite a bit of money for people of that day, his father grew cotton and grew more cotton per acre than any person in New Berry, County and I guess he received his share of the money also when John died. Samuel built a house of oak blocks, and this house was one of the best in that part of Florida. His boys played near the Santa Fee River and near where they lived. One day while digging in the sand, a trickle of water started to flow and they ran home to tell their father. This is where Samuel "built" the Springs

Seamless Plugs: Goodbye to Your Cover Plate
Being a fan of organization, minimalism, and lack of clutter, there is little that bothers me more about modern design than the blandness that is the ubiquitous modern plastic plug/light-switch cover plate. This is why I am so in love with the Bocci 22 utility outlet system.
The Bocci 22 is designed to be flush to the wall. You can drywall over these units, creating a seamless wall. Power outlets, light switches, telephone, data connections, cable and speaker outlets are all available. A starter kit ( includes 1 Remove Tool, 1 Outlet, 1 Double Gang Mounting Plate, Booklet and DVD) will run you about $250.00.

Visa Appeal: The Important Part of Immigration
Sometimes it may be thought what is visa appeal? or Is there any case as "Visa Appeal"?. The answer will be "Yes". Actually the "Visa Appeal" system is available in almost all countries of the world.

For a time during the 1990s, it looked as though a new, post–Cold War conservative consensus was building along rather traditionalist lines. While some younger libertarians began to forge an independent, non- or even anticonservative identity emphasizing the attractions of a "dynamist" social and political ethic, the conservative mainstream addressed itself to shoring up what was seen as a declining and often toxic American culture. Neoconservatives brought their formidable social-scientific skills to the study of family breakup. They offered the Victorian Age as a model for the re-moralization of society. The secularization of American public life, driven in no small part by decisions of the Supreme Court, was vigorously critiqued by Evangelicals and others, and a more prominent role for religion was advanced, including in the university. Virtue became a widespread theme, and America's regime of abstract rights was subject to powerful theoretical criticisms. The best social science confirmed the longstanding traditionalist view that the health of a polity depends on a vigorous civil society. The end of the Cold War meant in any event that American society need no longer be mobilized for war.
This emerging consensus—the rudiments of a new "fusionism" bringing neoconservatives and traditional conservatives together—was cut short, however, by the events of September 11, 2001. In the wake of the terrorist attacks on that day, neoconservative intellectual energies were thrown into foreign policy. In effect, anti-Islamofascism was proffered as the new anticommunism, a potential "glue" to hold together conservatism's disparate tendencies. Questions of culture were displaced by an emphasis on political regimes. A decade of critiques of American culture and society gave way to a new literature championing America's progressive, liberationist modernity against a backward, "medieval" foe. The transformation was vertiginous. But what exactly was "conservative" about progressive, liberationist modernity? The conflict with radical Islam had revealed an important piece of unfinished intellectual business left over for conservatives from the end of the Cold War.
One of the paradoxical difficulties for conservatives after the Cold War was the very success they had had in arguing that communism represented a species of totalitarianism. By yoking communism together with Nazism, there was a loss of the sense of the "leftism" of communism. Now understood as a species of the genus totalitarianism, and therefore as a form of "tyranny," communism for many Americans was translated in effect from the progressive Left to the retrograde Right. The West's victory over communism, therefore, tended to lose its specifically conservative character. If communism was not the historically inevitable "wave of the future"—as it claimed to be, and as many, including its enemies, understood it to be for many decades—then our victory over communism could more readily be understood not as the victory of a conservative resistance movement but rather as a victory for "true progress."
What might have been learned from the defeat of communism—what perhaps should have been learned—is that there are no historical inevitabilities. While modern ideologies had subsumed free and responsible individuals to inexorable collective processes of one sort or another, in fact it was the individual choices of such leaders as Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II, together with the irreducible individual moral witness of such figures as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, which precipitated the Soviet collapse. In other words, our victory over communism might have been understood as a vindication of the traditional Western conviction about the dignity, freedom, and responsibility of every human person—a conviction shared by libertarians, traditionalists, and anticommunists.
But that is not what happened. In a fateful intellectual development, Francis Fukuyama argued instead that communism's defeat revealed that we have now arrived at "the end of history," and that it is the triumph of Western liberal democracy which has been shown to be historically inevitable—not the victory of communism. The Communist Party was not the vanguard of the proletariat, but America with its liberal-democratic way of life stands as the vanguard of all mankind: the whole world will eventually, inevitably, follow. Such a view is certainly flattering to American sensibilities and it viscerally appeals to our patriotism; in its embrace of a kind of American exceptionalism, however, it oddly fails to recognize the very exceptional cultural and historical circumstances which allowed for the success of America's unique regime of freedom. In the contentious intra-conservative arguments surrounding the Iraq War, nonetheless, Fukuyama's view became a background tenet of what has been called the "second neoconservatism."
The first generation of neoconservatives were, famously, liberals "mugged by reality." In the face of the 1960s counterculture, they came to a new appreciation for what they earlier might have scorned as the "bourgeois virtues." In the face of the policy failures of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society welfare programs, they came to recognize that all public action brings in its wake unintended consequences—and so they embraced a more cautious approach to public policy, one less given to state intervention in free markets and civil society. The neoconservatives even came to recognize the importance of culture. Such was the extent of the conversion of these former leftists that at length, Russell Kirk opined that Irving Kristol, the "godfather" of neoconservatism, was in fact not a neoconservative: he was a conservative, simply. And indeed, owing to their public prominence, such neoconservatives clearly represented the leading voices of conservatism after Reagan.
Emboldened after the fall of communism by America's position as the globe's sole "hyperpower," armed with Fukuyama's theory about the meaning of history, and rightfully alarmed at the emergence of the Islamic threat after 9/11, leading members of the second generation of neoconservatives seemed to their conservative critics to have been "mugged by ideology." They advanced a vision of permanent U.S. hegemony around the globe that critics saw as a form of empire. They also pursued a policy of regime-change in Iraq and promised a grand "transformation" of the politics of the Middle East that paid little heed to cultural particularities. Wars are always contentious affairs in the politics of a nation, and so too was the Iraq War.
The political and cultural difficulties encountered in America's engagement in Iraq have led neoconservatives to reflect on the experience in fruitful ways. Francis Fukuyama for his part has sought to distance himself from the very body of ideas to which he gave birth. What conservatism now will be remains to be seen. But as Iraq wanes in importance and its lessons are assimilated, the prospects are certainly good for a new reconciliation. Those prospects will be especially bright if younger conservatives make the effort to learn the often colorful and contentious history of their movement.

Lately, I have been a little more mature than usual…weird, right? Mostly it is due to the fact that the Psychotaku finally has a job and so it means that we can look forward to what the next steps should be for us. We just got a kitten in commemoration of the event and we already love him like we would love a hyper son, and he is spoilt because of it!
For next year, we are planning on buying a house. We still plan on going to Japan but it means that a wedding is out of the question at the moment. I don't really mind, though. My reasoning is that the house prices aren't going to stay low forever and so we need to make sure we can take advantage of it. I know that the prices may stay this way for a while due to the ever-increasing droves of houses that the banks are taking over, but now that we are able to save up, this is probably as good a time as any! I am extremely excited at the prospect of owning our own property! It means we can paint walls (don't tell my property manager, but I have done that in our apartment already *wink*), redecorate whenever we want, and finally have a real family get together.
I guess this is why it is coming up now. Thanksgiving Dinner. This year, we are staying at home and I am going to attempt to cook a Thanksgiving dinner at home for just the two of us. I actually DO cook so it should go pretty well, but to cook so many things at once, I kind of need to get the timing down. My hope is that we will be able to have all of our family together for Thanksgiving next year at our own house. I found an awesome recipe for pumpkin mousse that I am going to try out and I am making cornish hens and stuffing for the two of us (three if you count Kotatsu 😛 ). I figure the difference between cooking a turkey and cooking game hens isn't that different (except for thawing and cooking times, obviously) so I can probably manage a full T-Day Dinner for…*thinking about it*…about 10 people (Oh wow! Our family is getting big!) when I go for it next year. It won't seem as bad if I try it out this year. And at least we will be in our own house *crossing fingers*!
Anyway, wish me luck on this years dinner and I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!!
–Psykoneko NYU!!! =^..^=
PS I will post pics of the nosh as soon as I am done!! 😀

The Bisons overcame an early two-run deficit but three errors and seven unearned runs translated into an11-2 loss on Wednesday, May 9.
Bisons' starter, Matt Schnelly surrendered two first inning runs but settled down to toss a scoreless second before being replaced by right-hander, John King to start the third.
No Bisons' pitcher threw more than two innings in the game. King was removed after two scoreless innings in favor of Matt Bowling.
Meanwhile, after watching the Blue Raiders take a 2-0 lead in the first, the Bisons offense responded with a run of their own in the second. With one out, Casey Bond singled up the middle before promptly stealing second. The next batter, Jared Picchiottino delivered an RBI single through the left side to bring the Bisons to within one.
The Bisons would tie the game with another run in the third inning on an RBI sacrifice fly by Caleb Joseph.
In 1.1 innings of work, Bowling gave up seven runs, two earned, on four hits, before being relieved by Josh Spicer.
Spicer threw 1.1 innings of scoreless relief before being replaced by the Bisons' final pitcher of the night, Chris Burnett, who gave up two unearned runs in his 1.1 innings of work.
The Blue Raiders in comparison used ten pitchers in the contest.
Bowling received the loss to drop his record to 0-1.
The Bisons are back in action when they take on Stetson in their final home series of the season on May 11-13.

November 9, 2005
From the parking lot at Mt. Hood Meadows, you can make out the sound of two teenage boys whooshing off a small slope toward a self-made kicker. When the wind stops long enough, you can hear the low rumble of a faraway groomer, preparing the slopes.
On Friday, those distinct, subtle sounds will be gone, swallowed by the bustle of hundreds of skiers, chairlifts, food lines and radios.
Mt. Hood Meadows general manager Dave Riley announced Friday it would open five to seven of its 11 chair lifts for skiers and snowboarders on Nov. 11.
On Tuesday morning, the ski area reported a 38-inch base.
Riley said the area actually has enough snow to open now.
"But we're going to open up with more than what people are used to seeing on opening day," he said. "Conditions are going to be much better than what we've seen for a normal opening. We've taken the time to groom and re-groom the runs."
The Nov. 11 start date is earlier than average, but not nearly early enough for a record.
The earliest season-beginner in Meadows' history is Oct. 21. It's opened on Halloween twice.
The start date follows Timberline's, which began running a few of its seven chair lifts on Saturday. It also follows Washington ski area openings such as Mt. Baker and Crystal Mountain, which opened last week.
An early opening allows Meadows to cash in on the Thanksgiving holiday, one of the ski industry's most lucrative.
It also helps build skier enthusiasm as the Christmas and New Year's holidays approach.
That is a trend that Meadows and other Northwest ski areas could not enjoy last year.
A high pressure system off the North American coast deflected weather systems carrying snow south toward Utah, New Mexico and California.
Meanwhile the high pressure system exiled the Northwest to uncharacteristic dry and sunny days.
Meadows didn't open until Dec. 18 in 2004. And it shut down two times before its final closure in May.
It was, according to Riley, the worst ski season on record.
That fact reflected itself in the number of skier visits last season — 190,722 compared to an average year, which lures about 350,000 skiers to Meadows' slopes.
Hood River County businesses saw the effects directly.
This year appears more promising, however.
A month ago, weather forecasters were predicting a wetter and warmer-than-average winter.
But last Friday, a handful of weather experts met at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry to present the forecasts each had devised based on their own research.
"I think consensus is that this is going to be a much more active winter than the one we had last year," said George Taylor, the state's climatologist. "Certainly that was my forecast. Where we differed was the character of the activity. How will that play out? Some think it will be dominated by cold weather more than wet weather. I think it will be dominated by wet more than cold … When it comes to snowfall what matters most is precipitation. The really snowy years are the wet years. If this is truly a wet year, then it will be one with abundant snow."
Taylor is basing his forecast on a few indicators:
The Pacific Ocean, specifically the large mass of slow migrating water off the coast of South America. The temperature of that water determines whether we, here in the Northwest enjoy an El Nino winter or a La Niña one.
"We were in this weak El Niño, which gave us somewhat mild and dry winters," Taylor said. "Things are really changing quickly off the coast of South America. We're moving toward La Nina."
History is the other clue into which Taylor is tapping for his forecast. The year that most closely resembles this year.
And that winter, Taylor says, is the winter of 1995-1996.
That was the year of the November flood, the December wind storm and the Great Flood of 1996.
"It'll be active, but I'm not suggesting that we'll have a flood like February '96 nor a windstorm like in December," he said.
For skiers, kayakers and farmers, Taylor's forecast might be the most optimistic.
Other experts, he said, predicted a colder than normal winter, but fairly dry.
So far this fall, Taylor's forecast appears fairly accurate.
Mount Hood has already exceeded this month's average amount of snow water by 1.5 inches, according to Oregon Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The 14.9 inches of rain that has fallen on Mount Hood since Oct. 1 is also better than average — 133 percent of normal.
But, warns John Lea, hydrologist for the ONRCS, trends could reverse quickly.
"Last year started off almost the same way," Lea said. "And then November was an extremely dry month. We got three inches of water. December was even worse. This year, however, the early indications look like November will stay pretty wet."
The weather and winter-long forecast had encouraged Meadows general manager Riley so much that he decided to extend by one week the time to purchase a season pass.
That one week extension, which ends Nov. 13, allows skiers to purchase seasons passes at drastically reduced rates compared to the normal price of $999.
"In celebration of the early opening, we want to give everyone the opportunity to purchase a season pass at the lowest possible price," Riley said in a press release.

Dave Spangler, owner of Marfield's Irish pub and restaurant, closed his business for a time, but has decided to reopen. He said traits and character of establishments at places from Texas to California will be weaved into the new Marfield's.
Dave Spangler, owner of Marfield's Irish pub and restaurant, closed his business for a time, but has decided to reopen. He said traits and character of establishments at places from Texas to California will be weaved into the new Marfield's.
Community, he said, will also play a big role at his restaurant. In this Q5, Marfield tells us more.
1.Dave, why did you decide to reopen Marfield's, and what has been the reaction for people who have heard the news?
"I decided to reopen after a well-needed rest. As I was traveling around, I saw many new things and ideas that I thought Leavenworth could benefit from. New foods, new drinks and new techniques.
"I have seen how cities can become communities again, especially in Northern California. With the decline in traditional income generators, the people there have refocused on things that not only help themselves, (but also) made an impression on the whole population.
"United we stand, divided we fall. Truly a big influence on what I have in mind."
2. Does the restaurant still feature Irish specialties?
"The menu I have chosen still has traditional Irish fare, yes. However, I have added a whole different approach — a daily lunch that will be a blue plate special, so to speak, complete with a blue plate. It will be priced right, with quick service. As I have experienced, hard workers need to get back on the job, so the American spirit can be preserved."
3. Tell us about the community garden you're offering. How does it work and why did you decide to launch this idea?
"A community garden has always been part of my plan. I have experienced one in Galveston, Texas. It was truly a great joy to see people of all walks and stages of life get together and talk over a plowed dirt field.
"And, it did not stop there — young people were asking the elderly about history, about the best way to prepare the things that were sprouting.
"They talked about problems, both grub worm-related and a broken toilet.
"It was a beautiful thing to see. Can you imagine a recipe for squash breaking down social barriers?
"That would be a dream come true for me concerning Leavenworth. And it can, I have seen it."
4. Have you done any refurbishing or made any additions or changes to Marfield's?
"Yes. I have made it a non-smoking environment, added TVs and changed the hours of operation, up to and including, if it's a day of the week, we are open. I hired a new staff who are not only the tops in their field, but also a blast to be around.
"Ranae Springe is going to handle the front of the house, and new graduate from the college of culinary arts, Ms. Amanda Miles, will make sure the engine room runs smoothly."
5. What have you missed about owning and operating a restaurant in Leavenworth?"
"Great question that is difficult to answer. I truly did not miss the huge chasms that exist here.
"But, I did miss the opportunities given to me that also exist here. In coming back with a renewed sense of attempting to help form a community of the people, for the people and by the people, I am truly happy to be home.
