Title: I Don't Like Your Girlfriend
Author: Tali
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anything to do with its fandom. I am not making money off of this fiction. This is in no way representative of canon.
Summary: Sasuke returns to find Sakura and Naruto dating and all hell breaks loose.
~ Set in a modern day American high school ~
A/N: I cheated; modern day American high school was just easier for me to write. Funny bit… I wrote this listening to a Japanese copy of Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend"! o.O Ahh the inner workings of Tali's mind. I know you'd all prefer I work on Broken Promises but I'm having Dr. Pepper and Jelly Belly jelly beans… which is akin to crack for me. So, writing that might turn it into something scary right now. Bwahahaha… who know what else will come out of me tonight. I'm free of pressie duty! (written last night in a sugar induced haze… NOT BETA)
Hands stuffed in his jeans Sasuke sighed. He never expected to come back to this town. After his mother and father had been killed in a mugging his brother had insisted Sasuke come live with him and Itatchi had chosen to stay and run a dojo in this stupid place. So Sasuke had transferred out of his high class private high school and sent to the town's local public school. He and Itatchi had gone round and round about that. He'd insisted private school was better for him and Itatchi insisted it was turning him into a snob and killing his social skills. Personally Sasuke thought his brother was trying to ruin his life. The summer had passed in slow torture as he'd been ordered to get a job because it would teach him responsibility. Which Sasuke felt was ridiculous because they were filthy rich. Then to top his miserable summer off his brother had made him buy his own school cloths from his earnings that summer. "Miser." He muttered moving through the halls.
Black bangs hung in his face, the black t-shirt bearing the Fullmetal Alchemist symbol in red adorned his slim figure followed by a red and black check belt and slim fit black hipster jeans and the silver chain attached to the wallet in his back pocket. He'd slipped a white wrist band on that morning once he reached the kitchen and smirked as his brother had groaned at his attire and told Sasuke all he was missing was black eyeliner. Sasuke had slipped the pencil from his pocket and slid it across his lids in the shiny toaster making Itatich throw his hands up and leave the room. That memory brought a smile to his face when he heard a familiar voice. Looking up wide eyed he swallowed. After being here all summer and having not seen Naruto Sasuke had simply assumed the other boy had moved away at some point. Evidently he'd been wrong because right before him stood the blond sex god.
He was tall at least as tall as Sasuke himself, with a bright halo of sunny hair, sun kissed hair and bright blue eyes dancing with mischief. His jeans fit but were not tight, except Sasuke noticed across his ass. He had a white t-shirt on mighty mouse on the front and an orange hoody over that. Sasuke rolled his eyes at the stupid hoody, "Same Naruto then."
"Hey, Sasuke… you in there?" Shino frowned at his friend. They'd worked together at the record store over the summer and found they had a lot in common. "Hu? Yeah… just, recognized someone from before I moved away." The black haired boy shrugged. "You mean Naruto? He just got from visiting his weird uncle. The man writes porn for a living. His girlfriend hates the old guy but he's pretty cool, don't know what Sakura's problem with him is." Shino tugged Sasuke away from the growing group of jocks as Kiba joined Naruto along with Choji, Lee and the girls, Ino, Tenten and Sakura. Sasuke's last glimpse was of the pink haired girl attaching herself to Naruto's arm and the blond leaning down to give her a kiss. He sneered and shook his head. "I have someone I wanted you to meet." Shino told him as they headed for the courtyard Sasuke blinked as the bright sun accosted him. A boy with shoulder length brown hair stood in the shade of a tree leaning against it as he smoked a cigarette wearing dark jeans and red converse tennis shoes with a white button down shirt untucked and red neck tie over the top. He was talking to another boy who had waist length brown hair like a river of chocolate down his back wearing simple black jeans and a white t-shirt with black boots. Leaning against him resting on the bench stretched out was a boy who looked much younger than the rest, with dark black circles around bright green eyes and pale skin, on his forehead was a kanji symbol for love in blood red. The symbol was framed by fire red hair and he was dressed similarly to Sasuke in slim fit black jeans but he was in a green t-shirt which sported that happy bunny fucker but with his head cut off and little exes where his eyes should have been. Smirking Sasuke already liked that one.
Shino lead him over and grinned, "Guys this is Sasuke, the guy who I worked with in the record store this year." He lifted a finger and pointed to each. "This is Shikamaru, he's too smart to be popular. Neji, honestly I think he's just here for Gaara." At that Neji leaned back wrapping a possessive arm over Garra's shoulder his hand wresting on the red head's flat belly. "And this is Gaara." Sasuke blinked. "But I thought Gaara was your boyfriend?" He hoped he hadn't just stepped in it. "He's mine this week… we trade." Shino laughed when the yaoi manga in Gaara's hand smacked Nije's stomach. "Do you have to put it that way?" Green eyes glared up at the brunette. Shikamaru was choking because he'd taken a drag just before Neji spoke up. "You'd rather he said you were a little cock tease who can't make up his mind?" Stepping back he looked between the three boys and shook his head. "Ok I'm not gonna even pretend that isn't weird. You're both dating him?" Shino shrugged. "And each other. Well that's more sex." Blowing smoke out Shikamaru decided to break it down. "They date Gaara and fuck each other… basically they're horny perverts. Gaara not making up his mind gives them an out to basically fuck around together." Sasuke chuckled shaking his head. "At least the three of you won't have a problem with me being gay." Neji frowned. "We're all gay Sasuke." Standing Shikamaru gathered his bag rolling his eyes. "Not all of us. I am an equal opportunity player." Gaara snorted and got up following, Naji grabbing both of their bags. "What you mean is you're an 'any hole in a storm' guy. YOU are a bigger slut then me." Shikamaru just shrugged. "Give me your schedule." Gaara demanded, it quickly became obvious who the actual leader of their little group was. Looking it over he frowned. "First and third with Shika… fourth and fifth with Neji and it looks like we have second together but you're on your own for seventh and eighth." He handed Sasuke off to Shikamaru as the other three headed in the opposite direction. "Are you my body guard or something?" The brunette shrugged leading the raven into a class. "We tend to stick together. Some of the other's don't like our… open mindedness or how we dress, or just our faces." Sighing Sasuke took a seat in the back and put his head down. Great just what he needed a school full of homophobic ass holes who didn't like anything not white bread.
Classes were pretty easy, thanks to private school he was easily a year ahead and that meant he basically could skate through it. It was easy to see who the bullies were. A boy named Kiba gave Gaara a hard time, mostly for turning his friend queer. Evidently before Gaara can into his life Shino had been good friends with the kid with anger management issues. In fact for every friend he had in a class he seemed to have one of the 'jocks' each of whom seemed to have had a relationship of some sort before high school. Seemed high school was some sort of great equalizer and separated every one out into the sheeple and those who refused to be anything less than themselves. In two classes he'd been subjected to the pink girl, who was Naruto's girlfriend apparently. She went on and on about how she'd made Naruto buy her an expensive bracelet when he got back because he'd been gone all summer. "Can you believe it Ino, isn't it perfect? He brought me some stupid comic or something and a cheap cat plushy. Ugh so when we went out all I had to do was pout and pull out the sad eyes and he was blond putty in my hands." The two girls giggled. The next class he'd shared with her was worse because she was telling the blue eyed girl all about Naruto rounding the bases and how she found the relationship much easier now that they were having sex, because he'd do just about anything she wanted if she hinted that she was in the mood. By seventh period he was fairly sure he was in high school hell. "Totally going to murder my brother to get access to my trust fund." He wasn't paying attention just heading for a desk at the back of the class. "Sasuke?" It was a low whisper and his head snapped up and blue eyes were staring at him in shock. After the day he'd had the last thing Sasuke wanted was deal with getting abused in any way but his dream guy.
He'd like to just keep him a distant pleasant memory. He'd been dreaming about the sunny little Idiot he'd gone to grade school with until he was twelve. The only who'd fought his father when they'd decided to move away with Sasuke. Naruto had been his first kiss. Naruto had cried when he left. He didn't think he could take Naruto being a complete ass hole now. "Hn." He waited, unsure of he really wanted to hear what the other boy had to say. "Holy shit! Sasuke." Standing Naruto hugged him and laughed. "When did you get back? I can't believe you're really real. This is awesome." Finally he let go and blinked at the dark black eyes. Stepping back he took in Sasuke's attire and felt his mouth go dry. There was just no way any man got to be that hot. Sasuke had been his best friend and Naruto had missed him terribly every day he'd been gone Naruto had bugged Itatchi for three years to get Sasuke's address and every day Itatchi gave him the same answer. 'He's not ready yet.' Naruto had no fucking clue what Itatchi had meant but he figured it was one of those creepy weird ninja things. Sasuke was stiff and blinking when Naruto stepped back. "Idiot." He muttered rolling his eyes and blushing a little. "My brother made me come back after my parents died. He's my guardian now. I got here at the beginning of this summer." Naruto slid into his desk still grinning. "If I'd known I might have come back earlier. Grandma Tsunade had started harping on me by July." Sasuke flashed a smile as Naruto started talking like they hadn't been parted for three years. Sasuke would be seventeen soon, followed shortly by Naruto and that thought made him very happy. Sasuke was about to sit in the desk to Naruto's right when a throat cleared. He looked over and noticed the pink haired girl tapping an irritated foot. When she saw his handsome face, she plastered a smile on her face. "I'm sorry but that's my seat. Aren't you in a couple of my classes?" Her lashes fluttered. Naruto frowned at Sakura's rudeness and then rolled his eyes as she started flirting. "Sakura… this is Sasuke." She blinked and then giggled. "That kid in the pictures in your room. Wow, he grew up." She flashed another of those fake shy smiles. "You can sit in front of…" Naruto glared suddenly. "Me… Ino sits in front of Sakura so you should sit in front of me. People tend to hate sitting in front of me." He flashed a toothy bright grin. "Because you fuck with them and pull pranks most classes?" Blushing and looking down Naruto rolled his eyes; of course Sasuke would have his number. Sasuke slid between the desk and Naruto's unintentionally letting his ass slide across Naruto's desk and line of sight. Naruto couldn't help but look and once more his mouth went dry, this was not good. He was with Sakura and Sasuke smelled really good. Shaking his head he turned to look at Sakura, "Are we going out tonight?" He usually let her make their plans it was easier then fighting with her about things. "Uh, no Ino needs a girl's night. Sorry Naruto, maybe tomorrow. She's a mess because of that whole Shikamaru thing. I can't believe you introduced them." She scoffed checking her gloss in the mirror. "Hey, Shika's a great guy. He plays basketball like a demon and he's brilliant." Naruto defended. "He's also kind of hot." Sasuke added over his shoulder as he got his book, note pads and notebook out. He didn't see Sakura blinking in shock and disappointment or Naruto's wide eyed panic. All the blond could hear was sirens blaring and a voice likely Tsunade's saying 'Warning. Warning Naruto Uzumaki. Danger. Danger.' Sasuke was gay and thought Nara was hot. The last part made Naruto frown. When Sasuke turned to ask Naruto a question he saw the frown and sighed. "Is this a problem Naruto?" When he didn't get an answer he felt something drop in his stomach and started to gather his things, while growling about homophobic tiny picked jock bastard. Reaching out with one hand falling on Sasuke's slim shoulder Naruto swallowed at the heat he felt there. "Hey, hey Sasuke. It's not a problem for me. I'm still friends with Gaara and Shika and the other guys… you just surprised me." Frowning he looked suspiciously at Naruto before nodding and settling back in his seat as class started.
Halfway through a note slid onto his lap and he frowned opening it he blinked. : Sakura says you're gay but I bet you were just bi… if you want we could go out some time. – Ino : Looking over at the blond to his right he couldn't believe the note. Shaking his head he wrote back a simple, : No thanks. : He wasn't sure how to put 'pussy doesn't do it for me' nicely. Then he passed the note back. The blond's disappointment was obvious but she bit her lip. Turning to whisper with Sakura and show her the note. Sasuke rolled his eyes, teen-aged girls were really annoying. Class finally ended and Sasuke made it to his final period and was pleased to discover Naruto was in that class too, even more pleased to realize Sakura wasn't. This time when the note was passed to him it was from Naruto. : Want to hang out tonight? : Grinning Sasuke scribbled a quick. :Where and when?: Before passing it back. :I'll pick you up from your place at six.: Sasuke nodded and looked down at his notes smile hidden behind his hair.
The next six weeks were a blur. He spent his mornings with his friends in various classes, his afternoons listening to Naruto's Super Slut talk about what manipulative thing she'd done to get what she wanted, he was really starting to hate her, and his afternoons in class with Naruto. They'd started competing almost immediately. First it had been test scores, then overall average, and even note passed word games. Twice a week he spend evenings with Naruto and the rest of the time was usually spent with the guys. It was on one such night spent laying on Shikamaru's bedroom floor, with Shika's head in his lap looking up at the clouds painted on his ceiling, Gaara, Neji and Shino as close to cuddling as the three ever got on Shika's bed that Sasuke frowned. "Why is Naruto dating the little bitch?" He asked out of the blue. Gaara snorted the soda he was drinking and started choking. Shika sat up grinning, "Oh thank GOD. None of us wanted to bring it up. Are you two like secretly together or something? He's never ditched Sakura to spend time with anyone else." Sitting up straighter against the wall Sasuke shrugged and shook his head. "What? No. We were friends from a long time ago. He was my best friend. We just sort of picked up where we left off is all. And we only hang out when she's too busy. He cancels all the time." Gaara raised a brow at the raven and sighed. "But he always makes it up to you, because you've bailed on us before. Guys only bail on their friends for one reason." All of the other boys in the room nodded at him. Sasuke blushed pulling his knees up. "We're not dating or anything like that. We just hang out and watch movies or go watch the planes by the airport." Shino looked at him. "But you want there to be." Sighing Sasuke stood. "I just think he can do better than her. He's my friend guys, leave it alone." Gathering his things Sasuke decided to walk home instead of waiting to catch a ride with Neji. He was half way home when he passed Naruto's house and stopped looking up at the window, for just a moment he thought about climbing up the side of the house and onto the porch roof like he used to and surprising Naruto. Just before he took his first step onto Naruto's lawn he saw the flash of pink in the other boy's room. Shaking his head Sasuke went the rest of the way home. Sasuke spent the next two weeks with an odd feeling, he was sure he was imagining it but Naruto seemed to be acting differently. Sasuke would catch him starring at him from across the cafeteria, or his hand would linger when he passed Sasuke notes. When they hung out Naruto had stopped choosing loud public places opting more and more for tv or movies at his place or Sasuke's. He was starting to lose it a little.
"Guys, I don't know what to do!" He flopped next to Shika under the tree one afternoon and groaned putting his head on his friend's shoulder. "You could start by telling him you like him." Shikamaru smirked looking down at Sasuke. "You could tell him you don't like his girlfriend." Gaara grinned. "Yeah and what will that accomplish?" Shrugging Gaara said. "You could offer to be his new girlfriend. It's obvious he likes you Sasuke, he hardly takes his eyes off of you and you two are spending more and more time together." Looking up the raven haired boy bit his lip. "You think? I was sure I was imagining all of that." All four of the other boys groaned. "YES."
When Sasuke agreed to go out two nights later with Naruto he'd made a decision. Naruto had said something about going out to get some dinner and maybe see that new Sci-fi flick. So Sasuke dressed for going out. Naruto's jaw dropped when Sasuke opened the door. The raven's hair was spiked up in back, his bangs perfectly straight around his face black coal smeared under his eyes. The soft grey cotton t-shirt was at least two sizes too small and worst of all he had on tight black leather pants over black boots. He tried to swallow as Sasuke grinned and reached for his jacket. "Ready?" He looked up at Naruto expectantly. He secretly smirked as Naruto took in his outfit and was warring about something with himself. "Uh, what? Yeah…" Turning he glanced back over his shoulder as Sasuke opened his wallet and pocketed a few items. In the car he raised a brow at his friend. "You aren't bringing your wallet?" Grinning Sasuke shook his head. "Not in these. I barely fit in them." Naruto glared biting his tongue. He was heading for cinema when he turned toward his place. "Yeah, change of plan though…I'm broke after yesterday with Sakura so do you mind if we just hang at my place? Tsunade's out of town so we can hang out in the living room. "Um, sure… I have cash so we can order a pizza or something." Nodding Naruto couldn't help but feel relieved the idea of taking Sasuke out looking like that bugged the hell out of him. Why did he have to be so good looking?
The pizza was ordered and they settled on the sofa with a couple of tea's. Flipping through channels until the pizza arrived. "So Sakura drained you dry yesterday hu?" Sasuke glanced over toward Naruto. "Yeah… kind of. She loves to shop and we had a fight… I don't know it's just easier that way." Frowning Sasuke looked at Naruto. "I don't like your girlfriend." Sitting up Naruto scowled. "What? Why not, Sakura's great. She's pretty and kind of smart and she's a cheer leader" Holding his hand up Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Stop. She's a bitch. A manipulative, gold digging slut. She openly talks about how all she has to do is mention she might want to fuck and you roll over and play dead. Or when she wants something you buy it for her if she pulls out the puppy eyes. She's not a good person and she's a total bitch to everyone not in her circle. Do you know Ino and Shika didn't work out because Sakura convinced Ino she was dating below her social status? They liked each other, who does that to a friend?" Naruto frowned looking down. "I know you like me. I like you too… I have for years Naruto. You can do so much better than her. If it's not me, that's ok. But, I haven't dated any one since I got here and I've been asked out. Next time I'm accepting it and I might…" Sasuke was cut off from his well rehearsed speech by Naruto's mouth over his own. Breaking apart Naruto's eyes danced, "Hey, Sasuke will you go out with me?" Blinking a little from the kiss Sasuke nodded. Laughing as Naruto dragged him across the sofa and to straddle the blond's lap. "Good, cause I've been wanting to do this since you slid that cute ass of yours across my desk the first day back." Reaching around he squeezed the perfectly round leather incased ass. "I thought I was going to die when I saw you in this get up. There was no way I could take you out looking like this." Pouting Sasuke kissed down Naruto's neck. "It's one of my favorites." Sasuke grinned at Naruto's response. The kissing turned heated and Naruto's hands were caught in Sasuke's locks as the kiss deepened further. Moaning they started rocking their hips together. "SHIT." The bell rang and it was the pizza man, when Sasuke answered with the cash the boy looked Sasuke up and down and the dark haired boy just grinned. "Wow you're hot." The slightly shocked pizza boy stuttered. "Like what you see?" The boy was about to respond when Naruto put a possessive arm around Sasuke from behind. "You should go. Here's a tip for you, don't hit on guys with really jealous boyfriends." When the door closed Naruto popped the pizza into the oven which he set on warm. Turning back to pick up where he'd left off with Sasuke only to find the other boy with crossed arms. "Shouldn't you end things with Sakura before calling me your boyfriend? Frowning Naruto kissed Sasuke before pushing him onto the sofa. "Tomorrow morning I'll break it off. I promise." Glaring up at Naruto, Sasuke shook his head. "Which would make you a cheating bastard if we slept together now which is not appealing to the person you're trying to start a relationship with." Sighing Naruto nodded, he knew his friend was right but he was also hot and laying under the blond boy's body conforming to it so perfectly. Sasuke was the other half to his whole and he needed to speak to Sakura first thing. "Ok, I'll talk to her tomorrow." It took all his will power but he got up from where he'd maneuvered himself over Sasuke onto the couch. "So does this mean you're gonna be my girlfriend?" Sasuke gave a wicked grin. "We'll let you decide boyfriend or girlfriend. If you're really nice in your answer I will show you my tattoo." The blond's eyes glazed over a bit. "Fucking cock tease, Sasuke Uchiha."
It was a huge scandal in the halls of the small high school. Sakura had been dumped by one of the hottest nicest guys in school for another guy. She'd been so mad she'd hit him and Naruto ended up with a swollen lip. He didn't mind he was pretty sure he deserved it for what he was doing to her reputation wise and he was pretty used to it, Sakura was a hitter. Sasuke on the other hand had been furious and Naruto left the court yard running after him while the other four boys trailed in amused curiosity. Neji restrained Naruto once Sasuke reached Sakura. "Hey, Bitch." He pushed through the small circle of people around the crying pink haired girl. "What could you possibly want you home wrecking little fag." He stepped right into her face and furiously she moved to throw a punch but Sasuke caught it. "That was stupid, my brother owns a fucking dojo." Pushing her back into the lockers he growled in her face. "If you EVER lay a fucking hand on my boyfriend again, he might not hit you back because he's too good to hit a girl, just remember I'm not." Leaning in he whispered into her ear. "And I won't hesitate to tell the whole fucking school about those pictures of you Naruto took. I've got the negatives." Hinata was holding Kiba back glaring at him. "No. She deserves this. She's treated Naruto badly for years now." It was rare for Hinata to speak back especially to her rowdy boy friend. After that both Naruto and Hinata started taking lunch with Sasuke and Neji. Hinata walked out into the court yard giggling and sat down in the shade of the tree next to Shikamaru. After plucking the cigarette from his lips and putting it out, she looked at Sasuke. "On the way to school I heard a song on Kiba's car radio. "It reminded me of you." Reaching into her bag she passed over her iPhone. "I just finished purchasing it. The last song, it's called Girlfriend." Sasuke frowned but slid the earbud to his ear and listened. Blushing he thumped his head to his knees. When Naruto came out with juice for them both he started laughing then pressed the ear bud to Naruto's ear starting the song over. This time Naruto blushed, "Sasuke!"

Carroll president blends campus with neighborhood
Some people may think raising money is a university president's most important job, but not Douglas Hastad. For the Carroll University president, it's about setting the tone for the campus.
Five years ago, Hastad did just that in his first six months on the job. He sat down with every full-time faculty and staff member for a half-hour each, soliciting opinions and suggestions from more than 250 employees about the state of Carroll.
"I want to hear what they have to say," said Hastad, who previously served as chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
The fact that the university's head cares that much about everyone's ideas, from the grounds crew to the professors, stunned a number of people, said Claire Beglinger, director of public relations.
"It was sort of liberating for a lot of people," Beglinger said. "It made people feel that...what they were doing was valuable and what they thought was valuable also. He changed the culture."
Hastad said his goal was to set a tone of contagious success and an "enthusiasm about making this place better."
"In five years, it's fair to say we've done a very good job," he said.
Note the "we." Hastad frequently credits faculty, staff, administrators and students with Carroll's achievements.
Hastad also included the residential campus' neighbors in developing plans for renovations to the property, including $1 million for grounds improvements.
"There's a tendency for institutions to isolate themselves," Beglinger said. "Doug opened up a lot of doors, started conversations with people all over the community. They feel they're a part of us."
Waukesha Ald. Vance Skinner, whose district includes part of Carroll's campus, agreed that Carroll has made significant efforts to integrate with the neighborhood under Hastad's watch.
Skinner said there previously was a perception that Carroll had turned its back on the community. But under Hastad the university has invested in nearby deteriorating historic homes, organized students to pick up trash in the surrounding area, and even offered residents some free tickets to Carroll sporting events.
The school has been following through on promises, and Hastad keeps communication lines open, Skinner said.
"He has a genuine desire to have Carroll be a good neighbor," said Skinner, who also lives within two blocks of campus. "We've worked well together."
Hastad loves interacting with Carroll's nearly 3,500 students, who are the biggest reason he entered the world of higher education. He and his wife, Nancy, live on campus, and Hastad often grabs lunch or a cup of coffee with students, many of whom he knows by name.
"I don't work at that," said Hastad, whose office is always open to visitors. "That's fun to do."
Golf is Hastad's "therapy and passion," and he also enjoys reading good fiction and taking trips with his wife.
Hastad, 61, has traveled plenty in a 35-year career in higher education that spans Minnesota, Arizona, Illinois, Texas and Wisconsin. He believes Carroll is "the last stop."
"I care deeply about this place," Hastad said. "It's a great time to be here."
Carroll, one of the oldest four-year campuses in Wisconsin, has had three consecutive years of record freshmen enrollment. Almost 750 new freshmen joined campus in 2009, and school officials estimate that number should surpass 800 this year.
"That's huge at a time of economic challenge," Hastad said. "We must be doing something right that appeals to young kids because they have choices."
The school, formerly Carroll College, became a university in 2008.
Carroll added an MBA program last fall and a physician's assistant program in June, only the fourth school to offer it in Wisconsin.
Campus also has expanded and been rejuvenated under Hastad, with two residence halls constructed in the last three years as well as a couple of renovation projects to the grounds.
Hastad is most proud that Carroll has been able to "create an academic environment that appeals to students at a time of economic catastrophe." The school has opted not to draw from its endowment fund the last two years, but has squeezed enough money out of the operating budget to fund scholarships at the same level.
Hastad's biggest challenge in the role is remaining patient because "we can't do things fast enough."
"We don't want to put Band-Aids on things," Hastad said. "We want to do it right."
Displaying his characteristic humility, Hastad declined to answer what he thinks his legacy at Carroll will be when he retires.

We all went out this morning picking berries on Steve's Aunt Diana's farm. I can not wait to make jam and pies and syrup. We will go back and clean out what we left behind again next week.
Where did July go? The summer is whizzing past and I have so much to do before school starts...
Well, actually before my surgery lays me down for six straight weeks.
Emma is messing up my perfect plans because she keeps growing out of all her clothes and every time I think I have things under wraps, she up and grows again. That girl!
Oliver....he is FINALLY growing too and for the first time in two years I have had to buy pants for him. He will still be fine to wear the same shorts though for next year.
This is the most drab and boring post ever.
Our van is a real treat to have with its glorious air conditioning-especially during this heat wave.
Ug. When will it friggin snow?
My skin is now longer lily white and it shockingly has freckles! What is a girl to do? There are worse things I suppose.
I got some free Thinsations in the mail and another free box of cereal for all of you who care to hate me for getting free stuff.
Well, my legs are alseep....and I better go watch the kids swim for a bit before they get out of the pool.

What a waste of time...
All that effort and planning etc and they did not even do his eye surgery! He has a cold and has had surgeries before with a cold, but because this was a long one they decided not to do it. Arg. Oh well, I guess it is better to be safe. Poor little guy is tuckered out from being up so early though. He slept all afternoon on the couch while I tried to doze. Anyways that's all I have for today. Emma has grown by leeps and bounds in personality by being at camp this week. So strange how that happens.
We may head out to the Stampede this weekend as Strawberry Shortcake is there...yeehaw.

I only have five minutes today
What a day. I honestly didn't know what to do with Oliver today as today was Emma's first day at camp. Oliver howled for her all day long. Literally. Poor duck, he loves her so. Now we are at the library waiting for camp to be over and I bumped into an old friend Mrs. H.
We chatted for a while, which was refreshing-it always is nice to run into old chums isn't it. Anywho...Oliver has his eye surgery this Friday and I am off and running.

Insurers reject actuarial report on insurance in Newfoundland
The Study of Homeowner, Commercial Property, Liability and Marine Insurance, commissioned by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, is based on erroneous assumptions and reaches incorrect conclusions, Insurance Bureau of Canada said today.
If the government takes action based on this report, it would be the second time in recent months that consumers were ill-served because of the actuarial advice provided to the government.

Bevel edged wood chisels and plane irons are normally manufactured with the blades ground at 25º, but not honed ready to cut wood at 30º. Therefore it is essential that all chisels and irons are honed before use.

Pic of the Dayton Gig by Listener Tim Agne.

The Onus Is On Us.
I used to work at the NYPress alongside Neil Strauss, who went on to co-write Motley Crue's The Dirt. All of us freelancers were given scorning nicknames--it was a thoroughly Mamet-ly environment--mine was "Little Doughty." Neil's was "Worm Boy."
Neil went on to write The Game, a book about pick-up artists, one of which was that guy Mystery, the guy from VH1's The Pick-Up Artist. It's a creepy show, with a kind of jarringly touchy-feely core. Nebbishy guys are taught to be confident. That's good news, right? What skeeves me out is that the pick-up artists have a jargon--"two-sets," "I.O.I.s," "kiss-closing," "negs".
On the other hand, I'm a rock star and I don't have the brass to walk up to the cutest girl in a bar and chat her up.
Neil Strauss, it seems to me, genuinely cares about the guys who read his book looking to learn, at last, how to meet women. The book is largely Neil's own tale of transformation, from nebbish ness to confidence. It's a little disingenuous, considering the average guy can't walk up to a woman and say, "Hi, I wrote a best-selling book with Marilyn Manson."
But he's got some good advice, actually. For instance: if you want to meet a woman in a bar, don't walk up behind her, because that will seem weird to her; wait until she's facing forward and walk up to her from the front. That's good stuff, right? Common-sensical.
This guy Mystery is a piece of work. He dresses like Al Jourgenson's gofer. Eyeliner, leather pants, etc. And he's got this nerdy Canadian accent (sorry, Canadian friends) that render his ultra-serious scientific booty jargon goofy.
But, c'mon, let's be honest; we who consider ourselves better than this guy player-hate the bejesus out of him. Because his shit works. He circumvents that natural male fear of rejection--the onus is on us to walk up to women, vibrating with anxiety, to be judged--accepted, or dissed.
I saw him appear on Conan, and though I did find him cringeworthy, there was a telling moment; cutting to commercial, fellow guest Kevin Pollak mouthed "Wow" to the camera. It was forced, and sour-grapes-y. Because Kevin Pollak was thinking: I'm a movie star and I can't walk into a bar and talk to any girl I choose to.
Ultimately I look at this guy and think of a line from Superbad; Jonah Hill is talking about how all girls have a hook-up they regret, and he says imploringly, "We could be those mistakes!"
I'm cooking up a DJ set. I've been programming kind of Atari-esque house tracks for a couple of years; I also have ideas for samples, ideas that I've been storing up, as I haven't had the chance to use my loop-seeking skills since Soul Coughing.
I'm trying to learn Ableton Live (a piece of production/mixing software)--I have no intention of learning how to rock turntables--I want to play the whole set from a laptop. I haven't traveled much in dance-music circles lately, so I don't know if that in fact is the standard. I guess it might be considered cheating, but I'm a guy that really has no interest in authenticity or credibility--I just want it to sound good.
Anyway, there was a time when turntables themselves were "cheating"--have I told you this story? A friend of mine went to see George Clinton in the early 80s, and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five opened. A lady standing behind him was yelling indignantly, "He's just playing the record! He's just playing the record!"
Later, as my friend was flying on L.S.D., George Clinton leaped from the stage and crashed into the folding chairs in front of him.
Who knows how long it'll take me to be able to DJ competently? Don't hold your breath. When I cobble something together, I'd like to throw some discreet rent parties as practice.

"What's Up, Country Muffin?"
The Scrap and I went to Dayton, Ohio the day before yesterday. It was fucking humid, and we ate at Denny's twice. He his Moons Over My Hammy, and I my Super Bird. The air was so thick the guitars wouldn't stay in tune--it was funny for the first couple of songs, but really threw me for the rest of the set. A bunch of seven year old girls were dancing in front of the stage, and yelling requests for "27 Jennifers."
Who are those people in the yearbook photos on the MySpace ads? She's a Model Now?! And They're married and have seven kids?! They must be people that work at the ad agencies. Who else would sign the releases? They keep recombining and mixing the ads--now one doesn't simply click to see the name of their crush; we have to slap the belly of the Classmates.com big-hair girls. I call on all Americans to volunteer their yearbook photos in the name of cultural variety.
I love those Match.com ads with the webcam shots of the cute-but-not-model-beautiful girls smiling and playing with their hair as some unknown typist flirts with them online. It distresses me that they're now replacing them with actual model girls in fake webcam shots pretending to be flirted with.

Yesterday a big photo crew came over to my house and took pix: for the album cover of my upcoming Golden Delicious, for press shots, and pix of me and bass player Scrap for our Fall tour, The Question Jar Show
Above and below: the most esteemed world-renowned Jim Wright, photographer.
Emily, art director and all around benificent presence.
On the left, Nicole, the stylist (buyer and sorter of clothing). On the right, photo assistant Natalie.
Nicole is the superawesomest. There is a thing in photoshoot styling I call Shiny-Shirt Syndrome. The band dude stands there in the shot, wearing a shiny shirt that he'd never wear in his actual life. Nicole has the superpower ability to find clothes that actually look like I would wear them in life. I have met very, very few stylists that do that, and make one look chic to boot.
Above: makeup artist Elisa. She made the zits on my chin magically disappear. She is possessed of a charming Texan presence, being a Dallas girl, is a yogini, and is just about the cutest, sexiest woman that ever walked the Earth. Which made her leaning close to my face to erase my zits a heart-pounding experience.
Andy Adelewitz, aka Mike Doughty H.Q. Manager. Paragon of fortitude. He took most of these pix--pictures of me getting my picture taken.
Scrap. His government name: Andrew Howard Livingston. His aliases: Scriggs, Scrill, Scrackalacka. His role: bass player, chaplain.
There was a couple taking wedding pictures as we shot in Prospect Park.
We shot some at Bar Toto, on 6th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
Above: me pretending to write for the photo. Below: what I was actually writing.
Everybody came back to my apartment and went through Polaroids.

"Everything in the dream is the dreamer." Sekou Sundiata
I dreamed last night that somebody told me this joke: Two tiny Martians are riding their flying saucer low over a cobblestone street. They crash into the back of an iguana. One Martian turns to the other and says: "Document, my ass!"
They're shooting photos for the cover of Golden Delicious today. As I type this, stylists and photo assistants are tramping into my apartment. A guy is setting up a buffet for the staff right in front of me, here in my kitchen.
Photoshoots are fun if you do them once a year.

The Heavily-Fortified Green Zone.
Up on Sunday, watching the Yelly Show, a.k.a. The McLaughlin Group. It's killed my Meet the Press buzz--footage of Karl Rove in 1972, with large hair, big brown-framed glasses, and rockstar-svelte frame. I'm gonna switch over to VH1 and hope for a Bret Michaels marathon.
So. "The Heavily-Fortified Green Zone." Why is it never just the Green Zone? It's like in the Odyssey, where every time they're mentioned, it's "sweetly laughing Aphrodite" and "the wine-dark sea." Or, for that matter, "stately Wayne Manor."
I went on an internet date last night, and the woman looked nothing like her photographs. She was smart and nice, and it was a fun chat. But I think she could sense my disappointment, which I felt bad about.
The internet dating thing works for me--I was seeing this awesome girl for a few weeks that I met, she had a ritzy gig and actually flew me out to Chicago where she was working. Lots of fun.
There is that dice-roll, though, of the photo-to-reality ratio. Sometimes you see a black-and-white portrait of a woman with an 80s hairstyle; i.e., high school yearbook photo. In my generation, that's 20 years ago!!

I'm Not the Music Critic at 'L' Magazine.
There's a guy named Mike Dougherty that writes music reviews at 'L' magazine, a Brooklyn nightlife guide. My landlord LaShawna asked me if I was him. I thought she meant Elle magazine, which briefly made me wonder if I had a secret life palling around with Shalom Harlow.

The Signal Is a Shimmering Dot.
The incredible John "Jack" Kirby--our phenomenally talented piano player, and the MVP of my upcoming album Golden Delicious--was in town yesterday, and we were gonna get together with our friend Wendy, who did the Reverb Barenaked Planet stuff on the Barenaked Ladies tour last year, and consume massive amounts of vegan nosh at Caravan of Dreams. Just as I emerged from the B train, I saw a tiny sparkling spot just to the left of the center of my sight. It's unmistakeable; the beginnings of a migraine.
I've been getting migraines since about the fourth grade. I get what is called an "aura" beforehand--that shimmering, crystalline spot grows larger over about an hour, until half my field of vision is vibrating. It has this very psychedelic effect of blanking out a part of whatever I'm focused on; a word will be missing from text, a nose from a face, a finger from my hand.
An odd an awkward part is that, though I'm not in pain, and won't be for 90 minutes or so, I have to call whomever I'm supposed to meet with and calmly state that I'm about to be in horrible pain. Happily (uh, actually, not so happily), John gets migraines with the same aura, so he understood. Not everybody gets the aura; some people get no signal, some people get strange things like an intense smell of citrus fruit.
I would get them at school and have to go to the nurse's office and matter-of-factly explain that I had to go home. I often would have to fake some pain so I could get home, and into a dark room, before the actual pain came on.
They're caused by the restriction of veins in the temples. A doctor once described migraines to me as an extremely mild form of a stroke.
I get them rarely in the past few years--maybe one or two, yearly. When I first got clean, and my mind was going haywire, I would have jags where I got them every other day for weeks. When El Oso was being recorded--it was a horrible emotional mess, the struggle of making those Soul Coughing records--I was getting them daily. Obviously to me, it's my brain telling me that I have to get into a dark room immediately, that it's essentially the nuclear option for my inner self to commandeer my stressed-out body.
This is the second one this month, and I'm uneasy. What is my brain trying to tell me? Am I stressed out and unaware of it? What's going on that I'm not noticing?

The Question Jar.
So I'm planning this show for the late Fall that I'm calling The Question Jar Show.
I was inspired by the shows Scrap and I did at the Mexicali Blues in Jersey last December--we played nothing but requests yelled out from the crowd. I wanted to do a whole tour like that.
The new wrinkle is the Question Jar: a big jar into which the audience can drop written questions. I'll answer 'em between songs.
My next record, Golden Delicious, isn't out yet, and I want to preview the songs, so I will be hiring professional hecklers to yell out the titles of songs no one's heard of yet.
No, actually I'll probably just cheat, and play them sans request.
Speaking of which: Golden Delicious has been mixed and mastered, and is ready to go, musically. There's still photographs to be taken and things like that, which takes FOREVER.
So yeah, it will be out slightly after forever arrives.
I am having the love with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' new thing, IS IS. So large! So funky! So deliciously cryptic!

Advertiser Pressure on Newspaper Journalists: A Survey
We conduct a survey among Belgian newspaper journalists to check whether advertisers are putting pressure to steer newspaper content, either directly or indirectly and whether they succeed in doing so. The results indicate that 35 per cent of Belgian journalists are experiencing some pressure of advertisers. However, journalists can to a large extent withstand this pressure, especially if coming directly from advertisers.

Please use the form above to request application info for InterAmerican University.
Grants and scholarships are highly sought-after, because they don't have to be repaid. Grants are often need-based, while scholarships are usually merit-based. The US Department of Education offers a variety of federal grants, such as Federal Pell Grants and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG grants). However, there are some cases in which you may have to repay certain grants. For example, if you withdrew early from the program for which the grant was given to you, or if your enrollment status changed in a way that reduced your eligibility for a given grant.
There are thousands of scholarships, from all kinds of organizations, and they're not hard apply for online. You may find that you're eligible for an academic scholarship if you're an outstanding student, or an athletic scholarship if you stand out on the playing field. Digging deeper, there are niche scholarships awarded for a variety or reasons, such as because your parents work for a particular company, or you are a member of a civic organization such as the Rotary Club.

Video: Austin Hollins' Monster Dunk Fuels Minnesota's Upset
Minnesota senior guard Austin Hollins threw down a vicious and-one dunk late in the second half of Minnesota's upset win over the No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers.
Hollins, who is listed at 6-foot-4, exploded toward the basket as the shot clock wound down and went up and around the 6-foot-7 Badgers freshman forward Nigel Hayes to complete the highlight reel dunk.
The slam put the Gophers up 65-54 and elicited a series of bows from the "Barnyard," Minnesota's famed student section. He would complete the old fashioned 3-point play soonafter.
Wisconsin is the highest ranked opponent Minnesota has beaten on the season to date. The Badgers' loss is their third straight in-conference for the first time since the 2011-12 season.
This border-state rivalry has raged for years, but this is certainly one of the best moments for the Gophers in recent memory.

Katherine Blauer, president of Gaylord Information Systems (GIS), visited Salem Public Library October 9 to celebrate the implementation of the GIS Polaris automated circulation and catalog system in the library. Blauer was accompanied by Marne Rogers and Kathleen Richter, members of the Gaylord Continuum of Services team, a team well acquainted with library needs and how Gaylord Information Systems can best meet those needs. GIS is a division of Gaylord Bros., of Syracuse, New York, the country's oldest library supply company.
"We are honored to welcome Ms. Blauer and her associates to Salem," library director George W. S. Hays said. "We have an excellent history of service and reliability with Gaylord and we are pleased to continue that relationship with our new Polaris system." Gaylord has been the library's automation vendor since 1994.
Upon arriving in Salem, Blauer said, "Ohio libraries have a long history of being forward-thinking in developing services for their citizens, and no library exemplifies this more than the Salem Public Library - one of the first libraries to provide computers for public use twenty years ago. By selecting the Polaris library automation system, the library has again demonstrated its leadership in embracing new technology."
Ms. Jane Massa, system administrator for the library, worked throughout the summer to assure the success of the project. She managed and coordinated the project, and was responsible for onsite setup of new equipment, loading software and monitoring staff training. The system became operational August 12, 2002. Gaylord was commended on the excellent service and support received during the migration period. "We had an outstanding data specialist who paid attention to every detail of the project. The result was a smooth implementation project that was completed ahead of schedule," Hays said.
Among the strengths of GIS is that many of the staff, including president Blauer, are professional librarians, who have chosen to concentrate on developing and implementing automation solutions for libraries. "They understand libraries because they have been practitioners in the field, working with library patrons. They are well positioned to provide products and services that help us meet our needs," Hays said.
Salem was the first stop in a statewide whistle-stop tour that included stops in North Canton, Amherst, Oberlin, Norwalk, New London, Willard, McComb and concluded in Paulding where another celebration was scheduled to celebrate Paulding County Public Library's move to Polaris® earlier this year. Blauer expressed her excitement in coming to Salem and visiting Ohio cities, saying "Gaylord is focused on meeting the needs of all public libraries regardless of size with the advanced functionality of the Polaris system."
Polaris is a Windows based, state-of-the-art third generation system that enables the provision of better service to library patrons. Polaris is a fully integrated system that combines cataloging, inventory, circulation and serials functionality into one complete system. "Polaris employs the design and navigation familiar to Windows and Internet users, making it easy for the library to provide ready access to all its resources and to participate in programs that enable Ohio's libraries to share materials statewide," Blauer said.
Remote access to the new Polaris catalog of library materials via the Internet means that patrons have 24/7 access to the collections, and with a borrower's card and password can manage their account from any Internet connection. Patrons can view a list of materials they have checked out, items they have placed on hold and any fines or fees owed. Patrons can place holds on materials and renew materials. The new catalog is accessible on the Internet from the library's home page at www.salemohio.com/library.

Today is the first installment of my little mini series: 'Holiday Beauty' and I'm kicking if off with the beauty-products I'm taking with me in the car. Last week I did a similar post to this, only then I showed you the non-beautyproducts I need during the journey (read it here) and today it's all about, like I said, the beauty stuff.
Batiste Dry Shampoo Medium & BrunetteThe first thing I definately need is dry shampoo, this is a very big bottle because I hadn't bought a small one yet when I took these photos. When we stop one last time before we arrive at our destination, I take my bag into the tankstation toilet and spray some of this stuff in my hair. Just to make it smell nice and look good again.
Garnier Ambre Solaire Light & Silky SPF 30 SunscreenMaybe you think it's weird to take sunscreen with you if you're sitting in a car all day but sometimes you have to stop. I don't know about you but if I've been sitting for a few hours I want to run and jump around, usually we have a ball with us that we take out and just play a bit of soccer before we hit the road again. I burn really quick and before I can join my little brothers, I apply some sunscreen on my neck and arms to prevent a bad sunburn.
Vichy Mattifying Face Fluid Dry Touch SPF 50For my face I use a different sunscreen because I would otherwise get some serious skin problems. I absolutely love this one, it works great, feels nice and makes my skin look better. For some reason this evens out my skin and keeps it from getting shiny at the same time.
Fa Floral Protect Poppy & Bluebell (review)I think ít's kind of obvious why I need a deodorant but let me explain it quickly for you. When you're stuffed in a car with four other people there is a very good possibility that it will get hot and then there is a chance that you'll get a little bit sweaty. That when this baby jumps in, this is from fa and I'm still in love with this scent. Another thing that I should mention is that this deodorant works quite good, it won't protect you from working-out-sweat but it will certainly withhold through-the-day-sweat.
The Master Perfumer N°15 Orange Blossom (review)Another thing I always take with me to keep me smelling nice is a travel size perfume. I've had this one for a while now but it's there's still more then half of it left. The scent of this is really nice and it's also the perfect size. I cannot recommend taking a full size perfume bottle with you, you'll be worried all the time that it will crush and if you just take a small one like this, the risk is lower and if it breaks the worries are a lot smaller :).
Vichy Aqualia Thermal LipbalmAnother thing I'll definitely need is a lipbalm. Personally I've never been on a plane but I know that people always moan about the air conditioning and dehydration, well in a car you have the same problem. My lips always get super dry and this lipbalm has been a superhero for my lips and I can highly recommend it.
Herôme S.O.S. HandgelSome places in France are a little behind and therefore not very hygenic. I once made the mistake to stop on a parking lot to go to the toilet and there it was, the infamous hole in the ground. Well I'm never making that mistake again but the regular toilets at tankstations aren't always the cleanest either. When I'm not able to wash my hands before I eat something during the trip I'll make sure that I use a disinfecting hand gel first.
Well that was it, these eight things are all the beautyproducts I'll need while I'm in the car. Just some things things to refresh, sunscreen and other pretty basic stuff.

Take that, OPEC.
The international oil cartel agreed Friday to cut daily production by 1.5 million barrels in a move to drive up prices on the international market — and, at the gas pump.
But, crude oil futures went in the other direction, falling 5 percent Friday in London trading on speculation that demand will continue to fall.
Oil fell sharply in morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, with light sweet crude priced for December delivery at $64.40.
Hardline OPEC members Iran and Venezuela had been pushing members to slice production by 2 million barrels a day, with Iran's oil minister declaring, "The era of cheap oil is finished." When asked before Friday's meeting what price Iran would want for its oil, Gholam Hossein Nozari boasted, "The more the better."
OPEC, meanwhile, cited lower demand and market surpluses as reason for reducing output.
"The financial crisis is already having a noticeable impact on the world economy, dampening the demand for energy...and oil in particular," OPEC said in a press release after the decision was announced. "This slowdown in oil demand is serving to exacerbate the situation in a market which has been oversupplied with crude for some time."
It also noted that the collapse in oil prices — which have fallen over 55 percent since their mid-July peaks — may jeopardize oil projects and threaten supply growth in the medium term.
Iran is a traditional OPEC hardliner on prices and production and is the second largest producer within the organization. Saudi Arabia leads OPEC production, and was expected to lobby ministers for a smaller cut than proposed by Iran and Venezuela.
Iran has taken a liking to astronomical oil prices, using its newfound wealth to fuel its nuclear program in defiance of the U.S. and the global community.
Sam Gault, president of Gault Inc., a fifth-generation, family-owned oil business in Westport, Conn., said the Saudis still control OPEC's actions.
"Its really going to come down to whether Saudi Arabia wants to cut production, because they're the ones that can afford to cut production," Gault told FOXNews.com. "A lot of times the different members of OPEC wind up cheating on their quotas."
Analysts at JBC Energy in Vienna, Austria, said that the oil cartel is likely to request non-OPEC producers, including Russia, to cooperate with them "in order to hinder the price slide."
"Behind the scenes negotiations (with Russia) are going on and a well-publicized joint cut is still possible," the analysts wrote in a report Thursday.
Over the last four weeks, gasoline demand fell 4.3 percent from the same period last year,a ccording to industry analysts. Distillate fuel demand was down 5.8 percent, and jet fuel demand was down 9.2 percent.
FOXNews.com's Jennifer Lawinski, the Associated Press, Wall Street Journal and Reuters contributed to this report.

Our teacher took us up to this little town called Constantina outside of Sevilla, so we could get an idea of life and cuisine outside of the city. It was awesome and the food was delicious. I'd share the food photos with you, but I ate them ;) Instead I have some portraits+ for you.
