WASHINGTON, D.C (WSAZ) -- Rep. Nick Rahall announced today that housing programs in Huntington have been awarded $1,597,596 in funding from the federal government. The money comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care programs for homeless housing and support initiatives in the Huntington area. According to a release, The Cabell-Huntington Coalition for the Homeless was awarded $537,268 for their Project Hope project and supportive services. While at Project Hope, families are taught basic living skills, how to budget and parenting skills. The Huntington West Virginia Housing Authority was awarded $1,063,328 for their Homeless...

Did Nostradamus predict 9/11? No, but Samuel P. Huntington did. Dr. Huntington of "Clash of Civilizations" fame, died recently. As Mark Steyn points out, this Harvard professor of Political Science championed the idea that culture trumps all. Steyn gives us an example of his own: in Bradford, 75 per cent of Pakistani Britons are married to their first cousins. As to the seductive assimilatory charms of time, 30 years ago the percentage was half that. A victory for culture over economics. The Australian has a great article on this great man who foresaw this current age of terrorism back in...

December 31, 2008, 0:00 a.m. Samuel Huntington’s True VisionThe fruits of tolerance need roots in the soil of culture and identity. By Jonah Goldberg This time of year, newspapers and magazines swell with retrospectives on the year that was, predictions for the year to come, and cogitations on meaningless trends and contrived fads. Against this backdrop, there’s an added poignancy to the death of Samuel P. Huntington, who died Christmas Eve at the age of 81. A decent, profound, and profoundly consequential man, the Harvard professor was one of the lions of 20th century social science. He spotted trends...

The last of Samuel Huntington's books -- "Who Are We? The Challenges to America's National Identity," published four years ago -- may have been his most passionate work. It was like that with the celebrated Harvard political scientist, who died last week at 81. He was a man of diffidence and reserve, yet he was always caught up in the political storms of recent decades. "This book is shaped by my own identities as a patriot and a scholar," he wrote. "As a patriot I am deeply concerned about the unity and strength of my country as a society based...

December 29, 2008, 1:13 a.m. Scholar & GentlemanSam Huntington, R.I.P. By Mackubin Thomas Owens A scholar who gains renown in one area of his academic field is considered a success. So what can we say about a scholar who has made major contributions to three? Sam Huntington, who passed away this past weekend at the age of 81, accomplished this in the field of political science. Professor Huntington produced major works in the areas of civil-military relations, democratic theory, and international relations. But Sam produced something even more important than scholarly works: brilliant students, including Eliot Cohen, Steve Rosen,...

BOSTON (Reuters) - Political scientist Samuel Huntington, whose controversial book "The Clash of Civilizations" predicted conflict between the West and the Islamic world, has died at age 81, Harvard University said on Saturday. Huntington, who taught for 58 years at Harvard before retiring in 2007, died Wednesday at a nursing facility in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, the university said on its website. In his 1996 "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order," which expanded on his 1993 article in Foreign Affairs magazine, Huntington divided the world into rival civilizations based mainly on religious traditions such as Christianity, Islam,...

“Islam has bloody borders.” So wrote Samuel Huntington in “The Clash of Civilizations?,” his 1993 Foreign Affairs article later expanded (minus the question mark) into a best-selling book. Huntington argued that, eclipsing past eras of national and ideological conflict, “the battle lines of the future” would be drawn along the “fault lines between civilizations.” Here, according to Huntington, was where current and coming generations would define the all-important “us” versus “them.” At the time of its writing, “The Clash of Civilizations?” had, beyond the virtues of pithiness and historical sweep, something to recommend it on purely empirical grounds. It seemed...

HUNTINGTON, Utah (AP) -- Authorities who successfully drilled a hole into the presumed location of the trapped Utah miners say they have received no sound from the area.

Wafa Sultan:The clash we are witnessing around the world is not a clash of religions, or a clash of civilizations.... It is a clash between a mentality that belongs to the Middle Ages and another mentality that belongs to the 21st century. It is a clash between civilization and backwardness, between the civilized and the primitive, between barbarity and rationality. It is a clash between freedom and oppression, between democracy and dictatorship. It is a clash between human rights, on the one hand, and the violation of these rights, on other hand. It is a clash between those who treat...

HUNTINGTON, N.Y. -- A 71-year-old man who went outside in the rain to pick up the Sunday newspaper plunged into a cesspool in his front yard, and his son and neighbor were sucked in when they tried to rescue him. Firefighters said they helped pull out the victims -- covered in raw sewage but not badly hurt. Andrew Palladino said the soggy ground, which had been soaked by two days of rain, gave way outside his Long Island home. "I walked across the lawn, and all of a sudden I disappeared," he told cable television station News 12 Long Island....

TRENTON, N.J. — An animal-rights group and six members were convicted Thursday of using their Web site to incite threats, harassment and vandalism against a company that tests drugs and household products on animals. The group, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, maintained its actions were protected under the First Amendment.

A controversial proposal to build what would be the largest desalination plant in the nation along the Huntington Beach coastline was approved early today after months of raucous debate. The Huntington Beach City Council voted 4 to 3 to approve permits for Poseidon Resources Corp. to build a $250-million desalination facility next to the AES power station on Pacific Coast Highway at the city's southern edge. The desalination plant would produce as much as 50 million gallons of fresh water daily by tapping ocean water already pumped into the power station to cool the huge electrical facility. The plant still...

For education and discussion only. Not for commercial use. In his State of the Union address, President Bush unveiled his "American Competitiveness Initiative" (ACI) that is meant to encourage innovation and strengthen the nation's ability to compete against foreign rivals. The strategy calls for an increase in Federal research programs and a push for students to do better in math and science. The commitment of only $136 billion to this effort over 10 years, most of it beyond his term in office, raises questions about his sincerity, especially measured against his past record of indifference to the challenges posed by...

I just heard this on the news. They did say several explosives have been found in Huntington Harbor. For those that don't know the location in Orange County, CA, I will say that it's very close to a large Naval Base. Anyone heard anything more? I googled it and found no info.

Huntington officials worked all night readying staff for the coming snow, but instead they woke up to a different storm Friday: a local lawyer sued to remove a nativity scene from the town's public lawn and stop Friday's Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. Mitchell Pashkin, 39, an attorney from Huntington, filed his suit in U.S. District Court in Central Islip, saying the nativity scene, Christmas tree and two signs on the Village Green that read "Peace on Earth" violated his constitutional rights because of their religious overtones.

Huntington Was Right My Two Cents on Nurturing our Enemies By David J. Aland [29 July 2005] Three weeks ago, terrorists bombed the mass transit system in London. Last week, they tried it again. While some may think the most recent attacks were merely incompetent copy-cat attempts, there is a clear possibility that the second wave of bombers, who chose to closely mimic the July 7th attacks, were also intended to send a calculated warning: We did this once. We can do it again. We are among you. Your very culture will be the tool we use to defeat you....

CAMP AL QA’IM, Iraq (August 2, 2005) -- Lee D. Hale played with firecrackers when he was a young boy growing up in Huntington, W.Va., but little did he know that when he grew up he would be in Iraq using explosives as a part of his job as a combat engineer. Lance Cpl. Hale, 22, 4th Combat Engineers Battalion joined the Marine Corps after graduating from Huntington High School in 2001. Hale decided to join the Corps to help put himself through college at Marshall University, where he was studying business management prior to deploying. He decided to become...

NORWICH, Conn. (AP) -- A local man believes the first president to serve under the Articles of Confederation -- Samuel Huntington of Norwich -- was technically the nation's first president. Now, Bill Stanley is seeking $10 million to build a presidential library for Huntington here. Stanley, president of the Norwich Historical Society, asked the City Council on Monday night to donate $1 million from funds it expects to receive from the Mohegan American Indian Tribe, owners of Mohegan Sun casino. Stanley is also seeking funding from state and federal governments. "Facts are on our side. History is on our side,...

Neoconservatives’ endeavors to create a market economy version of Islam – bereft of its basic tenets - got a boost recently when Reverend James Schall, Professor of government at Georgetown University and a Jesuit priest, vigorously defended their efforts. In an article entitled “When War Must Be the Answer” published in the December/January issue of Policy Review, Schall writes about “making Islam over into politically acceptable forms.” This is the main neoconservative project and Schall argues that this program can be defended because no one, including the churches, is willing to examine in a serious way the truth claims of...

U.S. caught in clash of civilizations Who Are We? The Challenges to America's National Identity By Samuel P Huntington Political scientist Samuel P Huntington made telling predictions about the current state of the world with his "Clash of Civilizations" theory almost a decade ago. Recently, he made headlines again with a new thought-provoking book, "Who Are We? The Challenges to America's National Identity," which tries to redefine the meaning of the American nation. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the American people reelected President George W Bush as a war leader, despite a...

Statement from the General President Regarding the Events in Huntington, WVThe International Union of Painters and Allied Trades believes in the fundamental right for civil discourse, freedom of speech and activism to support our candidates and issues. What happened in Huntington, West Virginia yesterday is an affront to everything we, as a union, pride ourselves to represent.

Huntington has delivered an alarming and in many ways convincing warning of current US immigration policies, which he accuses of corroding American national identity. He warns above all that today’s fashionable chatter about “multiculturalism” is becoming an enabling device for something much more dangerous: “biculturalism,” a future division of the country...

SAMUEL P. HUNTINGTON is a bigot, convinced that immigrant hordes are poisoning our Anglo-Protestant America. This in itself is not surprising; there have always been plenty of his kind on the American scene. Nor is it surprising that this bigot is a professor at Harvard. Nativism, in its 19th-century surge, was very much the darling cause of the New England elites. What is surprising is that now, a century and a half after the Know-Nothings vanished in disgrace, Huntington feels free to promote his nativist hatred in print, and can be celebrated for doing so. Post-9/11 America, as John le...

Your new book, ''Who Are We? The Challenges to America's National Identity,'' suggests that Hispanic immigrants are undermining the greatness of the United States. Over 50 percent of the immigrants coming into the country are Hispanic, from Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America. And about half of the people coming into the country speak a single, non-English language. That is totally unprecedented. Some of us find it surprising that a man like yourself, a Harvard professor and an eminent political scientist, would see the trend toward bilingualism as such a threat. There are perfectly decent, responsible, democratic countries, like...

America in 2050: Another country Posted: March 24, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com In 1960, when JFK defeated Nixon, America was a nation of 160 million, 90 percent white and 10 percent black, with a few million Hispanics and Asians sprinkled among us. We were one nation, one people. We worshipped the same God, spoke the same English language, studied American history and English literature, honored the same heroes, read the same books, watched the same TV shows, went to the same movies, and saw ourselves as defenders of Western Civilization against the godless communism of the Soviet...

Racists in America must be having a field day: At long last, they have found a world-renowned intellectual -- Harvard's Academy for International and Area Studies Chairman Samuel Huntington -- to rationalize their resentment against America's rapidly growing Hispanic community. Huntington, whose 1993 book The Clash of Civilizations was later credited for having foreseen the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, says in his forthcoming book Who We Are (Simon & Schuster) that the United States is threatened with national disintegration because of the soaring rate of Hispanic immigrants. ''The single most immediate and most serious challenge to America's traditional identity...

Re Andres Oppenheimer's Feb. 26 column, Racists will love new 'Hispanic threat' book, about Samuel Huntington's forthcoming work Who We Are: I have worked in public relations for some time now, predominantly in marketing to U.S. Hispanics. Much of my job is to do research about what makes Hispanics tick and how best to reach them. Given my expertise, Huntington's book sounds offensive, with dangerous rhetoric. This country is founded on the basis that all people are welcome and encouraged to assimilate. The variety has created a fascinating mix of cultures, where much can be gained from the experiences of...

HARTFORD, Conn. - George Washington is facing an opponent for office, even though his term has long expired. The title of "first president" has always belonged to Washington, but in the southeastern Connecticut city of Norwich, there's a mounting effort to rewrite history. The Norwich Historical Society believes the title rightfully belongs to Samuel Huntington, the Connecticut native and president of the Continental Congress when the Articles of Confederation were ratified in 1781. "We don't do this in the spirit of anything except having history be historically correct," said Bill Stanley, the association's president. "The honor of first president...

A drug developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science that is successful in slowing and minimizing neurological attacks on multiple sclerosis (MS) patients will soon undergo phase II clinical trials on patients with the fatal genetic disorder Huntington's disease (HD). Named for Dr. George Huntington, who first identified it in 1872, HD is a degenerative brain disorder whose symptoms usually appear suddenly between the ages of 30 and 45, though it can show up even in toddlers. It slowly diminishes the ability of victims to walk, think, talk, and reason, causing severe disability before the victim dies. More than 250,000...

America's Eurasian reshuffle By Francesco Sisci and Lu Xiang BEIJING - The terror attacks of September 11, 2001, seemed close enough to Samuel P Huntington's forecasts in his famous The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, but the consequences for the world appear now, some 18 months after those events, completely opposite. France and Germany, the bulwark of Western civilization according to Huntington, are on a collision course against the United States; ironically, the European countries closer to the US are the ones further from Huntington's "nordic" culture: Spain, Italy and Eastern Europe. France and Germany, partly...
