When Prophecy Jones was enrolled in Northwest Elementary School this year, he didn't know any cursive handwriting.
He came from another county that didn't teach it, because cursive writing instruction isn't required under the new Common Core curriculum standards. However, school systems in North Carolina have the option to teach it.
Jones, 9, has spent a few months with Lenoir County Schools, and now his teacher Heather Rouse said he's got the most beautiful cursive she's ever read.
"I looked up at the (cursive chart) and that's how I learned," he said. "I kept practicing and practicing. I like that it can teach you how to write really good."
The fading art of cursive handwriting has not been completely erased out of Lenoir County Schools.
When North Carolina, along with 44 other states, converted to the Common Core this year, cursive writing was excluded from those standards. The 21st century-based curriculum left school systems in the Tar Heel state the decision to teach a craft that many find obsolete in this rising technological age.
"(Cursive writing) truly is losing its relevance very quickly as we do more in the digital age," said Ellen Benton, LCS executive director of instruction. "Standards are a minimum, and (local education agencies) can always go above and beyond what the standards say."
In Lenoir County, schools haven't killed cursive completely with the district still teaching it during third grade, reinforcing it the next two years and forming a committee to outline cursive writing guidelines.
The "Back to Basics" bill filed in February would require North Carolina public schools to include cursive handwriting in the curriculum. If approved, it will go into effect in fall. Schools would be required to provide instruction for students to create legible, cursive documents by the end of the fifth grade.
Under LCS current cursive guidelines, students aren't expected to be completely proficient in cursive writing by the end of fifth grade. When the system revisited the topic at the beginning of the school year once it was taken out of the core requirements, school therapists said some students struggle with manuscript — print writing — and excel in cursive writing.
"If (students) are never given that chance, they'll never realize that's their best style of writing," Benton said. "I'm not opposed to the law that is going to require it as part of the curriculum, but I just don't want anything in place that puts its important over that reading, writing and math.
"Our teachers will make the right decisions about how much time to give it."
Rouse, a fourth grade teacher at Northwest, reinforces cursive writing during her students' spelling test review. She instructs them to print the word and then write it in cursive.
"I still personally think that (cursive) is important, because they need to be able to read it," Rouse said. "All the time, I'm coming in contact with cursive writing to read. If you can't write in cursive, you probably won't be able to read the cursive, and the kids need to be able to write their signatures, too."
Rouse said students are learning how to use computers instead of focusing on physically writing.
"If you think about it, instead of writing letters, we're just sending emails or texts," she said. "All papers are typed. When they're in college, they're not going to be writing papers to turn them in."
She said the relevancy of cursive is fading as the only time people typically use it is to sign their name, but the instruction will continue.
While LCS teaches cursive during the third grade, a committee decided to introduce cursive letters to second grade students. Some elementary schools have already begun this semester.
"It's fancy and you can write it faster than normal," said McKensi Williams, a Northwest fourth grader. "You can use it as you get older."
Her classmate, Nya Peoples, said cursive writing strengthens your overall learning.
"I like that it helps you learn more," Peoples, 9, said. "It starts to get hard at first, and when you keep practicing, it gets easier."
Rouse circled her class as students spelled out 10 review words one-by-one. She told the students how impressed she was and referenced a cursive chart above the board for those who needed to see a specific letter.
The LCS guidelines encourage teachers to occasionally write in cursive for students.
"That's a real life skill," Benton said of reading cursive. "The whole thing is what's best for students to be ready for the next level. We don't want it to go totally away, but its not going to be a major emphasis. … That's where we are right now."

Southwest coach Tommy Barnes knew his Stallions would have to be at their best to beat East Carteret on Friday night to claim the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference boys' tournament title.
They were not.
But the Mariners turned in an impressive effort from the floor as well as under the boards against the taller Stallions to follow up their regular-season title by defeating Southwest 62-45 aboard Camp Lejeune.
"We had to play our very best to even stay close with them," Barnes said, "and it just didn't happen."
Instead, the top-seeded Mariners (21-5), who lost to Southwest by one on their home court last month and beat the Stallions by 13 on Feb. 8, were led by their youth brigade in the rubber match against second-seeded Southwest (17-5).
Freshman Trevor Willis led all scorers with 19 points and 9 rebounds while sophomore Ty Simmons added 18 points and 9 rebounds. And just for good measure tournament MVP Jacque Brown, a sophomore, added 12 points and 7 rebounds.
"We've got a lot of guys who can play," East Carteret coach Billy Anderson said. "If you watch us in warm-ups, we don't look very good because we're small. But every one of those guys is scrappy, and we've got a lot of heart."
That was most obvious on the boards. With no starter taller than 6-foot-1 — forget the roster listings of 6-2, Anderson said — the Mariners won the battle of the boards 35-31 against a team that starts 6-7 Corey Wohlever (11 rebounds) and 6-6 Malique Judd (7 rebounds).
Judd led Southwest with 13 points while Wohlever added 11.
And the normally perimeter-oriented Mariners also outshot the Stallions, hitting 50.9 percent of their shots (29 of 57) to 29.8 percent (17 of 57) for the Stallions.
One big reason for East Carteret's shooting success was they continually shredded Southwest's defense for layups or buckets down low in the paint. Of the Mariners' 29 field goals, 21 came on layups or shots within a couple feet of the bucket.
"We've got a bunch of guys that can shoot pretty well," Anderson said. "Our shot selection was better tonight. Instead of settling for long shots … tonight we made one extra pass and maybe got it inside and got a layup."
Still, Southwest led early, going up 13-11 on a three-point play by Jonathan Williams with 1:17 left in the opening quarter. But a 3-pointer by Simmons started a 13-0 run that gave the Mariners a 24-13 lead with 4:00 left, a surge that was capped by a fastbreak layup by Simmons off a feed from Willis.
Down 26-19 at halftime, the Stallions pulled within five on a bucket by Wohlever 20 seconds into the third quarter, but that was as close as they'd get. East Carteret scored eight straight to push the lead to 34-21 with 4:38 left on a layup by Willis.
The final 17-point spread was the biggest lead of the night for the Mariners.
Given the size differential, Anderson was surprised Southwest didn't slow it down and try to feed the post more.
"I've been surprised a lot of people haven't done that to us," he said. "But we don't let people do that because we box out, get rebounds and push it out. But we have to. Our tallest guy is 6-1. He says he's 6-2, but he's really 6-1. But they're all fast and all good with the ball. We're all about to get out and push it."
Barnes lamented that East Carteret was in fact able to keep the Stallions from getting out on the break as much as they wanted.
"They got us in the half-court offense and we didn't do no good in it," he said. "As long as we were getting up and down the court, we were OK. But when they stalemated us, we didn't move on offense enough to get anything going.
"Not only that, every time we did get something going we would either miss a couple shots underneath or we broke down on defense. They're just a good team."
Now both teams await word today on the NCHSAA 1-A playoff pairings, with East Carteret certain to get a first-round home game and the Stallions a good bet to do so as well. Given the quick turnaround, Barnes said the Stallions have to move on and fast.
"We got to forget about it and get better for Monday," he said. "But (he was) sort of discouraged a little bit because out there in the second half I didn't think we played as hard as we could at times. I thought we let up on some key people that should know better.
"But for the most part I thought we played hard overall, but a little let down. But we can't worry about it. We've just got to pick our heads up and get ready for Monday."

Comments about Lezyne Road Drive Frame Pump:
This is probably the best frame pump I've owned. It is simple to setup and use. The only drawbacks are that it gets hot to the touch when using (all aluminum so that's expected) and the mounting strap is not as nice as some of the competition. It only has a velcro strap to secure it. I like the rubberized silicone straps that are on the Topeak pumps as they seem to be more secure. Still for the price, I don't think you can go wrong with this pump. The Pen Gauge by Lezyne is a nice addition to get an approximate tire pressure while pumping.

This frame pump looks fantastic on my Gios Compact Pro road bike. Put one on your retro road bike and it will look the business. The pump is easy to operate and the flexible hose is kind to your presta valves. Be sure to stay away from rough roads though as the vibration is not kind to the smooth sexy chrome finish.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Just Perfect :)
I ended up getting the 3.5" x 4" sizing and it was just right. Not too big and not too small like some of the ones I have received from people. Everything was easy to read, the picture was clear, and it was very easy to modify. I was drawn to the design because of the Daisy and pink & black color scheme. For me, the perfect combo! I think the style of the magnet has a medium of the road wedding feel to it. For me, some of the other designs were either too generic (could be used for any occasion) or were just over the top with the wedding theme. The quality of the magnets was excellent. I was very excited to receive them and it was a bonus that they arrived early. I highly recommend this design and Magnet Street.
Creative Save-The-Date
Out of three websites, I picked MagnetStreet for my save-the-dates. It allowed me to customize the colors and the font. For the price it was awesome, though the picture part has tiny little circles instead of an authentically printed picture.
Loved it!
Loved it! Is small and simple! Everyone thought it was a great idea :)
So adorable! Everyone loved them!
I changed the color to a slightly darker pink, but everything was was perfect! I loved them and everyone thought they were so adorable!
Awesome product!
What a great product! So easy to personalize it with the exact colors, font, etc that you want! The quality of the magnet was excellent, we have already received so many compliments on the magnet. Definitely a great price as well :) Will definitely be using Magnet Street to buy invitations!

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – Forty seconds into last Friday's game between Vermont and Merrimack, the fire alarm at Lawler Arena went off, forcing everyone in the building – fans, players, media – to be evacuated.
After the game, during which the fire alarm went off again during play later on, Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy (Dorchester, Mass.) quipped, "It's funny, eight years ago, I was praying for a fire to burn this place down. Now that we have this nice facility, I was hoping it wasn't a real fire."
The upgrades to Lawler Arena are striking, from the new seating that was installed over the course of two off-seasons, to the luxury boxes and glittering new lobby that greet crowds this year. But it's still partially an old building, with some rickety wiring, and a sensor in a part of the building far from the renovated areas tripped twice during Friday's game.
Bringing Lawler up to speed with the higher-end buildings in Hockey East, in other words, is a work in progress. That makes it sort of the perfect home for its hockey team.
The Warriors lost both of their games to the Catamounts last weekend, extending their losing streak to seven straight games. Merrimack enters the final weekend of the regular season in last place, and barring an unlikely sweep of New Hampshire (plus a sweep by Northeastern over Boston University), it will remain there.
What makes things different this year is that, unlike the last 19 seasons in which a team in the Warriors' position wouldn't make the playoffs, Merrimack's season does not end this weekend, regardless of the results. The new alignment of Hockey East comes with a playoff structure in which every team is guaranteed at least one round of the postseason.
That's good news for Merrimack, UMass, and BU, who all enter this weekend in positions outside the top 8 in the league, which had been the cutoff for playoff participation since the Minutemen became Hockey East's ninth member in 1993-94. While there are arguments to be made about how the playoff structure devalues the regular season, for the squads who still have life past this weekend where they wouldn't have in previous years, it means a chance to play at least one more meaningful game, and also to experiment.
"We have, we've been mixing lines a lot," Dennehy said. We've had a lot of injuries, which has forced us to. That's good at times, because we've gotten a look at some younger players.
"I've been saying this all year long, we were in the playoffs from Day 1. All that really matters is that we're playing our best hockey in a couple weeks' time. You win three games and you're at the Garden. You make your season."
That's a big deal for a team in the process of rebuilding. Just three years ago, Merrimack was on top of the world, with a team that scored buckets of goals and made its first trip to the NCAA Tournament. The 2010-11 Merrimack team finished second in Hockey East in scoring, and racked up 25 wins – more than in any year since 1989.
The following season, Merrimack went 18-12-7, but was bounced in the first round of the Hockey East playoffs. Last year, the Warriors went 15-17-6, and even then Dennehy could see trouble brewing.
"When we got here eight years ago, we worked to change the culture of this program," Dennehy said. "But culture's always changing, and I thought 18 months ago that it was starting to slip away a bit. Our work ethic wasn't where it needed to be, I didn't think we had an understanding or appreciation as to what Merrimack hockey's about."
In a way, last weekend's series could be looked at as a matchup between past and present. Merrimack in a lot of ways mirrors the path Vermont has taken over the last five years, from a Frozen Four appearance in 2009 to a sharp decline over the next three seasons. UVM went 6-27-1 in 2011-12, missing the playoffs entirely only three seasons after making its first appearance in the national semifinals.
The Catamounts have steadily climbed out of that hole. They went 11-19-6 last year, are guaranteed a winning record this season, and enter the final weekend just four points out of third place in a gridlocked playoff race. Coach Kevin Sneddon could look across the ice last weekend and see a flashback to where his club was just a couple seasons ago.
"Very similar, yeah," Sneddon said. "I think just as they've had some great years, you're going to have a lean one, and you've just got to keep your culture going. (Dennehy's)kids fight as hard as anybody in the league. He's doing a great job, it's not an easy situation, but the new playoff format keeps things very interesting. Lot of similarities to where we were."
One thing Merrimack has this season that the Catamounts didn't in 2012 is life after the regular season, with a play-in game looming next weekend.
"Everybody's got something to play for," Sneddon said. "We've been in the situation where we've been in the basement and there hasn't been a lot of light at the end of the tunnel. For them, hey, they're trying to string some games together here where they can make some noise in the playoffs."
Player of the Week
Mario Puskarich, fr., Vermont
Seems like Super Mario is never too far away from this spot every week. In the sweep at Merrimack, the freshman from Fort Walton Beach, Fla., had a natural hat trick Friday night and added an assist Saturday, coming away from the weekend with five points to move within three of league-leading freshman Mike Szmatula of Northeastern.
Games of the Week
UMass-Lowell at Vermont, Friday and Saturday
The season comes to a wild finish this weekend as only one playoff spot, first place, is locked up. The River Hawks are playing to solidify home ice in the quarterfinals, while the Catamounts are hoping to leapfrog a few teams and get inside that coveted Top 5 group that gets a bye for the first round.
Hockey East power rankings
Boston College (25-4-4, 16-1-2 HEA) – The Eagles, who remain unbeaten for a nation-best 19 games, saw their 11-game win streak snapped with Saturday's tie with Lowell. That stretch is the longest since the incredible 19-game surge that ran all the way to the 2012 national title.
UMass-Lowell (20-8-4, 10-5-3 HEA) – The River Hawks are the first team to even tie BC since Brown on Jan. 11, and the first Hockey East team to take so much as a point from the Eagles since Maine beat them on Nov. 23.
Northeastern (18-10-4, 10-6-2 HEA) – The Huskies' three-point weekend against Maine clinched a finish of no worse than sixth place in Hockey East, meaning Northeastern will have, at minimum, its best finishing position since 2011.
Vermont (17-11-3, 9-9-0 HEA) – Mario Puskarich's natural hat trick in Friday night's wild 4-1 Catamount win at Merrimack was the first hat trick of any kind by a UVM player since Wahsontiio Stacey on Oct. 8, 2010, and it helped the Catamounts extend their road winning streak to four. They made it five straight the next night.
New Hampshire (18-15-1, 10-8-0 HEA) – Matt Willows' hat trick on Feb. 17 was his second of the season, marking the first time a UNH player has turned the trick twice in a year since Stevie Moses in 2011-12.
Providence (17-9-6, 9-7-2 HEA) – The Friars snapped their five-game winless streak with a sweep of UMass, though allowing three power play goals, including two in the third period, takes some of the shine off of Friday night's streak buster.
Maine (15-11-4, 9-6-3 HEA) – Maine's tie and loss to Northeastern marked the first weekend series (against the same opponent) in which the Black Bears didn't come away with at least one win since Nov. 1-2, when they drew and lost to UMass.
Notre Dame (19-12-2, 8-9-2 HEA) – The Irish are unbeaten in their last five league games, thanks in part to Steven Summerhays' back-to-back shutouts, though his defense helped him out by limiting BU to just 41 combined shots in the weekend's two games.
UMass (8-21-4, 4-13-3 HEA) – The Minutemen became the first Hockey East team to finish the regular season, and would've certainly liked to do it better than with a pair of losses to Providence. They'll be on the road for the first round of the playoffs, though their opponent could be any one of five teams.
Boston University (8-20-4, 3-12-3 HEA) – There may be no program happier about the new playoff format in Hockey East than the Terriers, who can finish no higher than ninth. Under the old format, this year would mark the first time in league history that BU didn't make the playoffs.
Merrimack (7-20-3, 2-14-2 HEA) – Barring anything crazy happening in the final weekend, Mike Collins (Roslindale, Mass.) will lead the Warriors in scoring for the second straight year. The last player to lead Merrimack in back-to-back seasons was Stephane Da Costa from 2009-11.

WordsWorth Society Lunch
BRUCE McKENNA
LUNCH 12:00 p.m.
CMC's Founding Trustee Donald McKenna delighted in coming to the Athenaeum; and one of his favorite activities was attending the regular WordsWorth Society lunches. The Athenaeum is reviving the spirit of the WordsWorth Society by hosting a lunch to commemorate Donald McKenna's 97th birthday. Please join special guest Bruce McKenna, Donald's grandson, in exploring the joy of a rich vocahulary.
Bruce C. McKenna is a screenwriter living in Los Angeles who has written on subjects ranging from Saint Patrick to the rise of Adolf Hitler. He has been nominated for an Emmy and won the prestigious Writer's Guild Award for his work on Band of Brothers (2001), the acclaimed HBO miniseries produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. He is presently creating a new WW II miniseries for HBO, along with Spielberg and Hanks on the Marine Corps and aviators in the Pacific.
The only requirement for the lunch is that you bring along an interesting word that you have researched: history, derivation, meaning, and usage.
Western War in the Post-Modern Age
The Henry Salvatori Center and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum present a special evening with classicist, military historian, and renowned author Victor Davis Hanson.
In his best-selling collection of essays, An Autumn of War: What America Learned from September 11 and the War on Terrorism (2002), and in his most recent book, Between War and Peace: Lessons from Afghanistan and Iraq (2004), Hanson examines the world's ongoing war on terrorism, from America to Iraq, from Europe to Israel, and beyond.
Hanson portrays an America making progress against Islamic fundamentalism but hampered by the self-hatred of elite academics at home and the cynical self-interest of allies abroad. He sees a new and urgent struggle of evil against good, one that can fail only if "we convince ourselves that our enemies fight because of something we, rather than they, did."
Whether in defense of Israel as a secular democracy, criticism of the United Nations, a plea to alter our alliance with Saudi Arabia, or a perception that postwar Iraq is reaching a dangerous tipping point, Hanson's arguments have the shock of candor and the fire of conviction.
Victor Davis Hanson was educated at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, and received his Ph.D. in classics from Stanford University. He farmed full-time for five years before returning to academia in 1984 to initiate a classics program at California State University, Fresno, where he is currently a professor of classics.
Hanson is the author of over 170 articles, book reviews, and newspaper editorials on Greek, agrarian, and military history and essays on contemporary culture. He has written or edited thirteen books, including Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece (1998), and The Western Way of War: Infantry Battles in Classical Greece (1989).
Tough for Whom? A Discussion of the California Three Strikes Law
LUNCH 11:45 a.m.
LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
The passage of California's "Three Strikes and You're Out" sentencing law in 1994 stands out as a pivotal point in the state's war on crime. Viewed as one of the most far-reaching of any such law in the nation, the California statute imposes minimum sentences of 25-years-to-life upon two-time offenders when they are convicted of any third felony.
Professor Jennifer Walsh of California State University, Los Angeles has done extensive research on the California Three-Strikes Law, concluding that it is misunderstood. In her manuscript titled Tough for Whom? How Prosecutors and Judges Use Their Discretion to Promote Justice Under the California Three-Strikes Law (2004), recently published in conjunction with The Henry Salvatori Center, Walsh addresses the debate surrounding the law. She argues that most offenders sentenced under the law committed serious offenses as their third strikes and that the law does not result in lengthy sentences for all eligible three-time recidivists. Only 5% (7,626) of California's prison population, she points out, is composed of three-strike offenders.
Walsh earned her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in political science from Claremont Graduate University and is currently an assistant professor in the School of Criminal Justice and Criminalistics at California State University, Los Angeles. Walsh's appearance at the Athenaeum is part of the series Issues in California Criminal Justice and is sponsored by the Crime and Justice Policy Program of the Henry Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World.
Religion, Race, and the Humanitarian Disaster in Sudan
Born and raised in Sudan, Jok Madut Jok grew up in an environment of political instability, dictatorial governments, economic uncertainty, and conflict. His first book, Militarization, Gender, and Reproductive Health in South Sudan (1998), addressed how violence spreads within communities during times of violent political conflict. He based it on his research in Sudan and refugee camps in neighboring countries.
During his recent fellowship at the Woodrow Wilson Center, Jok chronicled the atrocities committed during the war in Sudan and the actions of mediators who have been trying to get the warring parties to advance the peace process. Jok believes that mediation by developed countries in conflicts that are occurring in developing countries is usually marred by the mediators' own history, national interests, and the perceptions held by the country in conflict. He says a peace deal reached between the warring parties has very little relevance to those who actually live in war. The victims of the war are neglected. Today, the war in Sudan drags on and the peace process teeters on collapse in what has become a vicious cycle. "To move forward," Jok says, "we must look for mechanisms to find justice by way of reparations and compensation for the victims."
Jok received his B.A. from University of Alexandria in Egypt; his M.A. from American University in Cairo; and his Ph.D. from University of California, Los Angeles. He is currently an assistant professor of history at Loyola Marymount University.
Professor Jok's Athenaeum presentation is sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights as part of the series Torture, Human Rights, and the Geneva Convention.
McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics
The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century
Paul Krugman welcomes people to his personal website by saying, "With any luck, you will find many of these pieces extremely annoying. My belief is that if an op-ed or column does not greatly upset a substantial number of people, the author has wasted the space." Throughout his career, Krugman has used the popular press to highlight policy makers' misuse of economic theory. He helped found "new trade theory," which challenges the theory that nations compere with each other for jobs and markets, he criticized the Reagan White House for their supply side economics, and he quit working for the Clinton White House because he disagreed with their "strategic trade" policy. In 1997, Fareed Zakari, managing editor of Foreign Affairs, which publishes some of Krugman's work, said, "Paul's strength is that he's not intimidated by authority— either intellectual or political."
Krugman was raised on Long Island and educated at MIT. He has written and edited 18 books and written countless op-ed pieces for The New York Times, Fortune, and Slate.com to name a few. In 1991 he was awarded the biannual John Bates Clark Medal by the American Economic Association for achievement by an Economist under 40. He has taught at Stanford, MIT and Princeton and worked for the Council of Economic Advisors and the World Bank. His most recent book, The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century (2003), immediately hit number 4 on the New York Times Best Sellers List and this spring he published Principles of Economics (2004), a textbook coauthored with Robin Wells.
Paul Krugman's lecture is the tenth annual McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics funded by the Philip M. McKenna Foundation and presented at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum. Dinner reservations are for CMC persons only. The lecture at 6:45 p.m. is open for all.
Media Malarky: Can Democracy Survive the Mass Media?
A veteran of more than forty years in print, radio and television journalism, Sander Vanocur has been covering national and international news since 1958, and was one of three panelists on the first Kennedy-Nixon televised debate in 1960.
He began his journalism career as a reporter in London for The Manchester Guardian. At the same time, he was a commentator for the North American Service of the BBC and a stringer for CBS News. From 1975 to 1977, Vanocur was the television editor and critic for The Washington Post. He gained national prominence during his 14 years with NBC News, where he served three years as White House Correspondent before being named National Political Correspondent. While with NBC News, Vanocur was also Washington Correspondent for the "Today" show, a contributing editor to the "Huntley-Brinkley Report," and host of "First Tuesday," a monthly two-hour magazine program.
A veteran political reporter, Vanocur was ABC News' chief "overview" correspondent covering the Democratic and Republican candidates in the 1980 and 1984 presidential elections. He was a floor reporter at both the Republican and Democratic national conventions in 1980 and covered the podium at the 1984 national conventions. In 1982, he was ABC's Senior Correspondent in Buenos Aires covering the Falkland Islands war between Great Britain and Argentina.
Vanocur left NBC News in September, 1971, to become Senior Correspondent for the National Public Affairs Center for television of PBS. Two years later, he became consultant to the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions and professor of communications at Duke University. He recently completed a video series on the post-war Congress and the Media as well as the video series on Television and the President which has been distributed to university and college journalism schools and political science departments. He left ABC News in 1991 to form his own company, Old Owl Communications, a full service communications and consulting corporation.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Vanocur graduated from Northwestern University with a B.A. in political science and spent a year in graduate study at the London School of Economics.
Are Capitalism and Democracy Bound to Win?
"I am fundamentally in favor of empire," wrote Niall Ferguson in his recent book Colossus: The Price of America's Empire (2004). "Indeed, I believe that empire is more necessary in the twenty-first century than ever before."
Though aspiring to neither colonialism nor conquest, Ferguson believes that America does indeed control an empire, defined by the "soft power" of economic muscle and liberal democratic idealism. But despite overwhelming military, economic, and cultural dominance, America has had a difficult time imposing its will on other nations, mostly because the country is uncomfortable with imperialism and thus unable to use this power most effectively and decisively.
Ferguson contrasts this persistent American anti-imperialistic urge with the attitude held by the British Empire, and suggests that America has much to learn from that model if it is to achieve its stated foreign policy objectives of spreading social freedom, democracy, development, and the free market to the world. He believes that liberal imperialism is the necessary political-military complement to economic globalization, and that empire is needed as a means to "contain epidemics, depose tyrants, end local wars and eradicate terrorist organizations." He believes the sooner America embraces this role and acts on it confidently, the better.
Ferguson, professor of history at Harvard University and senior research fellow at Jesus College, Oxford University, was born in Glasgow in 1964 and graduated with First Class Honors from Magdalen College, Oxford. Ferguson's previous books include The Pity of War (1998), The World's Banker: The House of Rothschild (1998), The Cash Nexus: Money and Power in the Modern World, 1700-2000 (2001), and Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power (2004). A prolific commentator on contemporary politics, he writes and reviews regularly for the American and British press.
Niall Ferguson's Athenaeum lecture is cosponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies, and the Athenaeum.

The New Bern Bears were distraught after a 3-0 loss to New Hanover in the Mideastern Conference opener in late March.
The next day in practice, the seniors called for a team meeting.
It was at that moment when attitudes changed, and the soccer team picked up its play. The Bears won 11 of its final 14 games and advanced all the way to the NCHSAA 4A state semifinals.
Walking the sidelines, and sparking a fire under his team, was New Bern's veteran soccer coach Tim Guter.
Guter, who recently concluded his 18th season as the girls' coach, led the Bears to the NCHSAA 4A state semifinals for the third time in six seasons.
"When we play the way we know how, we can play with anybody in the state," said Guter, the 2013 Sun Journal Girls' Soccer Coach of the Year. "People know that when they have to play New Bern, it's going to be a game.
"The girls have bought into the standard that we have in the program, that has been developed by the players and held on by the players throughout my tenure at the high school. Whether we win or not, we are going to be out there playing as hard as we can."
New Bern (14-7-1) finished third in its final season in the Mideastern Conference, then made a fierce run in the postseason.
The Bears won four road games en route to the 4A Eastern Regional Finals. For the third time, they squared off with the No. 1 team in the nation.
Playing against a Green Hope squad full of future Division I soccer players, New Bern held strong, only losing 3-1.
"It's a matter of playing the way we were going to play," Guter said. "We didn't try to do anything differently, in terms of packing the back or being more defensive oriented.
"We are not going to change the way we play because we are playing the No. 1 team in the nation."
The Bears won seven of their final eight matches by outscoring their opponents 22-4.
The defense had 12 shutouts and the offense scored 52 goals.
Guter and his squad have a knack of stepping their play when the stakes are higher.
"This year, it was one of those situations where everyone took it one game at a time and didn't look ahead," he said.
"They were used to what happens in the playoffs. I think their success their sophomore year gave them that extra drive to get back to that game."
The Bears were led by six seniors – Brittany McLawhorn, Sierra Bondurant, Shannon Fagan, Ashley Osiecki, Shelby Osiecki and Morgan Young – all who contributed during New Bern's state semifinal team in 2011.
"Their legacy, they are the first set of seniors to get us to the semifinals twice," Guter said. "We've had some quality teams in the past that haven't got to that point, but with this group of seniors, it was
"Once we got to the playoffs we knew what we needed to do to win."
Guter's squad only had 14 players, with no junior varsity team. Even after losing six seniors, he is confident in the underclassmen's ability to uphold the Bears' tradition.
"It's going to be tough to replace Brittany, Sierra, Ashley and Shelby and Shannon Fagan. All of them have been a major cog in what we've done over the past four years," he said. "It's a good time we can go to a new conference and put a stamp on that conference."

Magen Abernathy (Norwood, NC), sidelined for the last week due to illness, finished fourth for Pfeiffer (30:40) and senior Ellen Humphrey (Newport, NC) was fifth (35:32).

I'm thinking about CdG Wonderwood. It is burned inscense with the sweetness from woody notes.
I'm looking for a really smokey incense based scent with just a touch of sweetness. The sweetness should come from notes (or a combination of notes) of rose, sandalwood, (black) spice notes, amber or agarwood.
I've found such a scent in two fragrances. MoslBuddJewChristHinDao by Elternhaus and Orris by Tauer Perfumes. Sadly both are discontinued and nearly impossible to find now.
What I'm not looking for (examples below):
Incense Rose - too sweet & tangy, almost balances the incense.
Vanille 44/John Galliano Room Spray - Although really smokey with a touch of sweetness. The sweetness is from a vanilla note, which I don't want.
Sequoia/Palisander (Series 3: Red) - sweet woody incense but not really smokey, which I'm looking for. Leans more towards woody.
2 Man/Patchouli 24 - really smokey incense, birch tar scents but no sweetness.
L'air du Desert Marocain - again, not looking for a vanilla/amber base. No vanilla sweetness please.
CdG Series 3 Incense - smokey, incense, chalky, musty, no sweetness.
Suggestions, please?
I'm thinking about CdG Wonderwood. It is burned inscense with the sweetness from woody notes.
Bond No 9 Silver Factory ?. Smoky incense with an amber / resin sweetness in the base.
Not really a big fan of incense, but maybe:
YSL M7- incensy fireplace-type smell
Gris Clair- smokey lavendar (not sure if this is for you, but it's quite nice)
Amouage Tribute or Francis Kurkdjian Absolue Pour Le Soir maybe ?
Memoir Man might be a fit . . . worth trying anyway.
have you sampled NarizB... ?

Halston Man Amber is exactly what you are looking for. Go try it. It has a definite smoke smell to it that turns into incense and the amber sweetness plays perfectly with it.

"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."
--Ben Hogan
How you tried Divine L'Homme Sage? For most of its evolution it's a dry incense-dominant scent supported by resinous wood and a dash of dry amber. I wouldn't say it's "really smokey" though.
"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
Annick Goutal Encens Flamboyant. Maybe not sweet enough for you, though....
I don't know much about medicine, but I know what I like. -- S.J. Perelman
or Annick Goutal Ambre Fetiche. It's a smokey birch-tar amber, never really gets too sweet.
Tom Ford Splits!!!! - Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood, Noir de Noir - PATCHOULI ABSOLU
Plum Japonais, Italian Cypress, Neroli Portofino, Costa Azzura, Azure Lime, Champacca Absolute
HARD TO FIND - Lavender Palm, Arabian Wood, and AMBER ABSOLUTE, etc...
Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
Try the N.2 Damir Doma of Six Scents Series. It is a very odd perfume, that I personally do not like much, but it seems to fit your bill: incense, quite dry in the beginning, moulding into an ambery woody base. Again, it's an odd fragrance that develops very slowly and has got a sort of civet-musky hint to it. Sample it first, I have the feeling it reacts funny with different types of skin!
Worth checking the reviews on the net
À l'air libre les oiseaux ont eux aussi le vertige (camille)
You can try the new Loewe 7. It has a clear incense note over a sweet slightly floral base. Good longevity and discrete projection. Not an overpowering scent, which can be OK depending on your tastes.
Have you tried SL Serge Noire? You might want to give it a proper wearing if you haven't. Woodsy incense with just a touch of sweetness in the base is exactly what it is on my skin. It wears like a veil and never gets heavy but the camphoraceous dry top may be a little harsh but hey, Basenoters don't judge by top notes or else this site would've been called Topnotes. I think this is one of the least understood Lutens - but definitely one of the best from the house.
.......lol excellent.but hey, Basenoters don't judge by top notes or else this site would've been called Topnotes
I think I know the idea that you are speaking about, as I love both Orris and the reviews I've read of that Elternhaus fragrance sounds really good. I'm surprised that you don't find Kyoto (Series 3: Incense) meeting your request, as I find this very smoky with just a wonderful tiny bit of sweetness.
I agree with the recommendations for: Serge Noire, Silver Factory and Encens Flamboyant (although the Goutal has the strangest watery type note that sort of throws this one into completely different territory). I will also add these: Japon Noir by Tom Ford, Encens Home Spray by Byredo (sorry I think this one is discontinued), Messe de Minuit by Etro and Lucifer No. 1 by Damien Bash
Jubilation XXV by Amouage
Fille en Aiguilles by Serge Lutens
***I'm really curious about that Silver Factory hmmmm?!?
My blog: http://scentedpassion.blogspot.com/
It sound's to me like you've just described Ambre, by L'Occitane.
Don't panic. Just stay calm, and reload....
There's Michael for Men, if you don't mind the tobacco note. And there's Eau l'Iparie by L'Occitane. The dried fruit type thing up top burns off within an hour or so, and then it might be just what you're seeking.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I think I'm going to look into Tribute, Absolue Pour Le Soir & 10 Corso Como.
It's kind of hard to describe what I'm looking for but it has to be a dominant smokey incense fragrance with a slight rose/sandalwood sweetness. Similar to Orris or MoslBuddJewChristHinDao.
I would suggest Santal Noble. The most beautiful sandalwood I'd tried.
I also +1 the Memoir Man suggestion. It might not be sweet enough for you though.

hmmm... really REALLY smoky? you might laugh but- bijan. first time i smelled it i thought it smelled like ashtray. very smoky insense with sweetness...
I've wanted to try that Elternhaus MoslBuddJewChristHinDao for years and Luckyscent just doesn't ever restock it. I read somewhere that Mark Buxton claimed that was his favorite incense creation and now it is impossible to find. Do you know a source?
I can heartily echo several recommendations made in this thread that I think match your quest - Jubilation XXV, Six Scents Series 2 No. 2 and Halston Man Amber are all outstanding fragrances. In fact I am still reeling from my sample of Halston Man Amber and anxiously awaiting my bottle to arrive by mail. The Halston Man Amber is an amber scent first and foremost but it is shot through with smokey sparkling woods.
The fact you want some sweetness leads me to also recommend Alexa Lixfield No. 2 - the incense is almost overshadowed by the sandalwood but it is smokey and charming wooded incense. I also like CDG Jaisalmer and surprised you didn't like that one but I don't think it has rose.
Gucci Rush for Men is my go-to for smoky incense. But it's bone dry, not sweet at all. And discontinued, too. Still, if you like smoky incense, you should check it out. It's one of my favorite fragrances for clubbing, and other wild nights on the town.
Thanks for the recommendations. Jubilation XXV is not smokey enough. I'm looking for the smokiness of Vetiver 46/CDG 2 Man. It has to be a incense/frankincense based scent with a small hint of warm fruity sweetness.
La Nuit De l'Homme by YSL
Silver Factory and Jubilation XXV
Another one to consider is Al Oudh. To me it is quite smoky - it literally smells like aoud smoke - but also sweetened with rose and spices. The smoke here has a velvety quality to it, unlike the more ashy smoke of Memoir Man or Serge Noire.

I want to say Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque but I'm afraid it may be slightly too sweet for you. The sweetness on me is more of a resinous sweetness and is very satisfying mixed with the smokey elements. I think it's worth a try though.
notes: currants, white honey, candied Turkish rose, Egyptian jasmine, smoked leather, beeswax, Balkan tobacco, Peru balsam, patchouli, tonka bean, styrax, juniper, and vanilla.

Heeley Cardinal.
I feel like I should suggest Nasomatto Black Afgano, because I'm wearing it right now. Very strong, smoky, slightly sweet incense with a ton of staying power.
You could also try Serena Franco's "Incense Noir," a rather gothic and deep incense with 'just a touch of sweetness.' I love it and layer it with Wazamba (sweeter) or Encens Flamboyant. She is the "Ava" in ava-luxe.com perfumes. There are definite smoky notes in it, but still it has more than just charred wood or ashes. If you wanted something TOTALLY ashen, try Profumum's horrible "Fumidus," which is absolutely the worst of it's type. Maybe not as bad as Secretions Magnifique though.
