Liberal Studies
in the
Great Books
St. Anselm College
The Liberal Studies Program at Saint Anselm College is one of perhaps a dozen programs in the United States that offers a curriculum using the Great Books as its reading list. It aims at a breadth of knowledge, without being superficial, that comes from being versed in the principles and methods of various arts and sciences, rather than at know-how of a distinctive sort, like engineering or business. Every effort is directed at making a good beginning by getting at what is primary in the different arts and sciences. The curriculum of the program introduces the student to a comprehensive study of philosophy, literature, theology, history, and, to a lesser extent, mathematics and the experimental sciences through some of the greatest works in these fields. By reading and discussing great works, students acquire the habits of mind that mark the liberally educated person.
The program has strong roots in history. One can point to an old and long honored tradition of liberal education which reaches back to a beginning many centuries before Christ. The works of the greatest minds have, until recent times, always been the preferred material of study. And the discussion method of teaching is as old as Socrates.
Classes are small seminars with no more than twenty students rather than lectures. Learning is essentially an activity that the student does within himself, and he is the primary agent in his education. This is why daily preparation and regular participation in the seminars is such an important part of the program. Students are made to think about what they have read, discuss with others what a text means, and discern for themselves whatever truths are contained in it. Original texts are read in preference to textbooks. Though a professor presides at the seminar, the professor is not the primary teacher, but simply the leading student among less advanced students. The real teachers are Plato, Cicero, St. Augustine, Shakespeare, and Dostoyevsky, the authors of the Great Books.
Some works are deserving of more careful treatment than others. Courses called "preceptorials" respect this need by devoting an entire semester to the study of only one or two books. The preceptorials offered change from year to year and try to take into account the interest of the students in the program. The Liberal Studies Program is administered by the Department of Philosophy. Eight semester courses are unique to the program; the remainder of the required courses are drawn from the regular college offerings, with the heaviest concentration in philosophy and theology. This is in recognition that philosophy provides the analytical tools needed to appreciate fully the great works studied and that the ultimate aim and crown of the program is a wisdom which only philosophy and theology can reveal.
Requirements for Graduation
Like all students at Saint Anselm College, Liberal Studies majors must meet the general course requirements of the college. (The required three semesters of theology will not be waived for non- Catholic students majoring in Liberal Studies.) In addition to these requirements, the Liberal Studies Program adds fourteen of its own: six Great Books Seminars, two preceptorials, three courses in philosophy (logic, philosophy of science, and metaphysics), one in fine arts, and two in literature.
The Liberal Studies Program is built around the Great Books Seminars (GBS). These seminars are devoted to a reading and discussion of the original works of the best minds of the West, both ancient and modern. The sequence of six Great Books Seminars follows closely their historical order and is divided into Greek, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, Early Modern and Late Modern. The sequence begins with the second semester of the freshman year and concludes with the first semester of the senior year. Students do best to take the seminars in order since newer books often cannot be fully understood without a knowledge of many older books. The sequence will be modified, however, for a sufficiently weighty reason. A proseminar is also offered to freshmen in their first semester. The proseminar introduces prospective majors to the program by means of books from different authors from different ages. Unlike the six Great Book Seminars, the proseminar is not required, though it is highly recommended and, if chosen, counts for one of the literature requirements. Besides the seminars, two preceptorials are also required of Liberal Studies Majors. Students do best to take them in their junior and senior years when they are better prepared for the more rigorous and in-depth study which they involve. In keeping with the character of the program, the remainder of the required courses are interdisciplinary in nature. Unlike other majors in which students may graduate with little exposure to other disciplines, Liberal Studies majors must take prescribed courses in the fine arts, literature, and philosophy, and they are encouraged to take courses in classics, history, and the experimental sciences. Nine electives remain open for Liberal Studies majors, and they are sufficient to allow interested students to fulfill the requirements of any one of the college's certificate programs.
Who Should Consider a Major in Liberal Studies?
The Liberal Studies Program does not demand genius on the part of its students. It does require an honest desire to learn and the will to do serious intellectual work.
While the Liberal Studies Program aims at a person's own excellence, the perfection of a person's own mind, it also develops the logical and verbal skills which will serve students well in whatever walk of life they enter. The Liberal Studies major will prepare a person not only to get a job, but also to live a better, happier life and to begin the lifetime of learning that makes a person truly educated. Past graduates in Liberal Studies have developed a breadth of interests that has attracted them to a wide variety of occupations.
Students should note that any of the Great Books Seminars will fulfill the college's general requirement of one philosophy elective. For more information, please contact the Program Director, Montague Brown, or the Chairman of the Philosophy Department, Kevin Staley, or send us e-mail below.

The Day The World Went Away (halo)
From nine inch nails wiki
The Day The World Went Away (also known as Halo 13), released on July 20, 1999, is the first single to promote the album The Fragile. The version of "Starfuckers, Inc." on the single has a snippet of a live version of "Shout It Out Loud" by KISS tacked onto the end, followed by chants of "Nine Inch Nails!" by an audience.
Track Listing
12" Vinyl
A1 "The Day The World Went Away" - 4:03
A "The Day The World Went Away"
The plant photographed for the cover is a kangaroo paw. Though David Carson designed the majority of The Fragile era artwork, this single was designed by Robert Hales.[1] Hales later co-directed the video for "Starfuckers, Inc." with Marilyn Manson.

As we usher in the New Year of 2013, things have been quiet in Yankeeland.
There are no hot rumors of trades or signings as we still wonder who will be the Yanks' catcher and DH in 2013, not to mention who'll fill out the bench.
A couple aging Hall-of-Famers are coming off major injuries (Jeter, Rivera) and another (?; steroid abuse, Alex) will miss half the year if not more because of an operation.
Meanwhile, there are a couple of free agents still available. None of the major ones really fit the Yankees needs, and with the Yanks cutting back on spending, the $$$ isn't there for them.
Michael Bourn, Kyle Lohse and Rafael Soriano are still out there. Soriano could be a fit, only because he went 2-1, 2.26 with 42 saves in filling in for the injured Rivera last year. But Soriano probably wouldn't want to go back to the setup role he was unhappily doing in 2011. But after a strong year, it's interesting that he opted out and still is unsigned.
Boston has been talking to Adam LaRoche, since the Napoli deal may fall through.
Shaun Marcum and Joe Saunders are out there. So are Jose Valverde and Delmon Young.
Young is a righty bat, which the Yanks could use, and a .284 hitter. He was the ALCS MVP vs. the Yanks last year. Although his 162 g. average is .284-16-89, his OPS+ is just 98 due to a poor BB/K ratio. (27/115).
There is still Scott Hairston. There's Thome or Berkman.
There's …. (fill in the blank).
But it appears the Yanks are "dumpster-diving." Who they pick up between now and the start of spring training (and it's getting closer), who knows?
As of now, who will be the C, DH or bench?
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate has gone up 2%… and that's just from all the NFL coaches and GMs being fired. Black Monday indeed.

Looking for just the right time? Well, consider: "It's not too late / It's not too soon / To watch the stars dance toward the moon. / Paint rainbow colors across the sea / Invite the ladybugs for tea. / Ride the clouds to fairy lands / Grow cookie gardens in the sand. / To see a world where nothing's wrong / And make it so through silly song. …"
"Just the Right Time: A Magical Mixture of Poetry and Paintings For Folks of All Ages" ($7.99 in paperback from CreateSpace, available in Chico at Lyon Books and Postal Plus) is a collection of poetry by Robyn Alana Engel. It's beautifully illustrated by Robin Mead, "a Mixed Media, Water-coloring, Acrylic using Artist" who uses digital tools for added effect.
According to an author's note, which is worth quoting in full, Engel "is a native Californian and Bay Area migrant who proudly made Chico her home two years ago. Her writing spans various genres, and Robyn is best known for her humorous dating antics. She's published in Being Single Magazine and the Journal of Jewish Communal Services. Currently, Robyn freelances for Examiner.com as a local expert on Sex and Relationships. Besides writing, she enjoys dancing and eating chocolate, though not necessarily in that order nor simultaneously. When she's not working in social services, you'll find Robyn devouring chocolate while blogging at Life by Chocolate, rawknrobyn.blogspot.com."
The poems, the author says, grew from thinking about the special people in her life. In "Kindred Spirits" the poet writes of "Fragile souls / Enduring ties. // Secrets known / Never shared. // Countless fears / Never scared. // So much achieved / Though never proud. // So much lost / Though not out loud. // My ground / My heart / My love and calm. / My kindred spirit / My soul // My mom."
So much change to face in the modern world! "Back in the Day" "… Courage and valor defined one as great – / Not being a whiney, crazed parent of eight. / Actors could act and performers could sing / Reality shows starred Carson an Bing."
Nevertheless, "No Matter What": "Whatever the season / No matter the reason / May you love beyond fears / And laugh past your tears / May you like what you see / And hear harmony."

Summary and Keywords
The history of ancient Israel is best known to most people from the narratives in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. There, however, the name "Israel" covers a wide diversity of social and political entities over the course of many centuries. The first attestation of the name outside the Bible (on the Egyptian stela of Merneptah, c. 1208 bce) seems to refer at most to some ill-defined tribal federation. It then served for at least two different monarchies and later again as a social or religious title for the people who inhabited the Achaemenid (Persian) province of Yehud. The value of the biblical written records varies considerably with regard to historical content, and this must further be evaluated on the basis of internal literary analysis and in the light of evidence that comes from archaeological research, including in particular from epigraphic sources both from Israel itself and from many near and more distant nations.
How to combine these differing forms of evidence has been the topic of lively and sometimes rancorous debate, which varies in its detail from one period to another, often depending on the extent to which external sources are immediately available. Solutions are not always available, but exploration into the nature of these problems and misunderstandings in the application of appropriate methods reveal where the problems lie and, in some cases, what are plausible solutions.
Until the 19th century, the history of ancient Israel was, for most people, coterminous with the familiar narrative of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. No relevant external sources were known, and there was no reason to doubt its essential historical reliability, allowance made, of course, for those who could not accept the miraculous as historically factual.
Archaeological and epigraphical discoveries over the last two centuries or so, together with the introduction more recently of new and different historical methods, have led to aspects of this topic being fiercely contested in current scholarship. Taking a general familiarity with the outline "story" for granted, the following analysis will present some of the major topics on which new data have become available and on which opinion remains divided.
Keywords: archaeology, epigraphy, Hebrew Bible, history, Israel, Judah, Judaism

TmoNews.com, effective Friday June 12, T-Mobile will remove most of its restrictions on customers using their phones as mobile hotspots. The report is based on a leaked internal document (screenshot below) that TmoNews obtained. The wording on the document is a little confusing but as I understand it:
- Users on all T-Mobile plans that include a high speed data limit, including Simple Choice and Simply Prepaid plans, will be able to use their entire high speed data allowance for hotspot if they wish.
- When a user reaches their high speed data limit, hotspot will be available at throttled speeds instead of being cut off. T-Mobile's throttled speed is 128 Kbps or less.
- Currently available (not grandfathered) plans that include unlimited, un-throttled high speed phone data with a cap on hotspot data will get 2 GB more high speed hotspot data and unlimited throttled hotspot data after the cap is reached. The only prepaid plan this applies to is the $80/month Simple Choice plan which currently has a 5 GB hard cap on hotspot. Starting June 12, that plan will include 7 GB of high speed hotspot and unlimited throttled data.
Update: the hotspot changes are now in effect. All Simply Prepaid and Simple Choice plans now permit using their entire data allowance for hotspot with the exception of the $80 unlimited Simple Choice plan which includes 7 GB of unthrottled hotspot and unlimited throttled hotspot.
Unfortunately the $30/month 100 minutes, 5 GB plan has not been upgraded and is still limited to just 100 MB of hotspot use per month.

Friday 08/16/2013
CLEMSON, SC – The Clemson football team was back at practice in full pads on Friday morning. The Tigers begin the season in a little over two weeks when Georgia comes to town.
Head Coach Dabo Swinney worked his team Friday morning in the much-used Clemson Indoor Practice Facility, as heavy rains were in the Clemson area much of the morning.
Thursday, Swinney gave his team most of the afternoon off after calling practice early. "I could see them hit the wall a bit on Wednesday, so I thought it would be a good thing to do on Thursday," said Swinney. "We were back at it full go this morning and it was a good practice. We pushed them hard.
"What I really like about this team is a willingness to work hard no matter what the situation. If we start with the PAW Drill they are ready to go. If I put the ball on the three and put the first teams out there and say run a play, they will go all out."
After practice Swinney talked about senior cornerback Martin Jenkins, who had his best practice on Friday. "Martin Jenkins had his best day," said Swinney. "He matched up with Sammy Watkins most of the day and we all know how talented Sammy is. Martin did a good job."
Jenkins has been limited with an arthritic condition in his backside. It is a condition that his father also had when he played football.
"Martin loves to play and practice and we were all encouraged by what we saw today."
Swinney also announced that wide receiver signee Kyrin Priester of Lilburn, GA would not attend Clemson this fall. He will attend Fork Union Military Academy.
The Tigers will hold their final stadium scrimmage of the preseason on Saturday morning. The scrimmage is closed to the public.
The Tigers will hold their annual Fan Appreciation Day at Memorial Stadium Sunday at 2:30 PM.
Single game tickets are on sale for the 2013 Clemson football season and can be purchased online at ClemsonTigers.com or by phone at 1-800-CLEMSON.

The parent company of Weinstein Co.filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware on March 20, 2018. Before that, Eric Schneiderman, the New York Attorney General, had filed a lawsuit against the Weinstein companies on February 11, 2018 based upon its gender based hostile work environment and a pattern of quid pro quo sexual harassment. After over 100 women made accusations against Harvey based on his outrageous behavior and the company fired him in October 2017, it became clear that his company could no longer continue without new leadership. There were negotiations with a potential buyer which would have included $90 Million in funding to pay the claims, but the deal fell through. After the company filed Chapter 11, a new buyer is negotiating a deal which does not include any fund for the payment of claims. These women's claims will now have to compete with all of the company's other creditors for limited funds. In fact, they are at a disadvantage because most of the their claims never reached a judgment, which at least would have given them a claim for a certain amount. When a dollar amount has to be assigned to any contested claim in bankruptcy court, it will always be at a much lower amount than it would have been if the woman could have presented her case to a jury. All of the women can still bring their cases against Harvey Weinstein personally, but his income is now limited and he had just gone through a very expensive divorce. They'd better hurry up and get a place in the line.
Quid pro quo is latin for something received or traded for something else. Applied to sexual harassment, it means the boss or supervisor will give the employee something (a raise or a promotion) in return for satisfaction of a sexual demand, or when a manager or other authority figure implies that he will not fire or punish the employee as long as she agrees to give him some type of sexual favor. While we usually think of men as the culprits, be aware that there are also cases where women demand sexual favors from men or from other women as well. Andrea Ramsey, a former executive, had to drop out of the race to become the democratic candidate for a competitive congressional district in the Kansas City area, when it came out that a man had filed a lawsuit against her in 2005 claiming he had been fired for rejecting her sexual advances. She denied that the claim was ever valid, but in December 2017 she acknowledged that in this climate, candidates were being held to higher standards, and the allegation was enough to make her abandon her congressional bid.
Can a Sexual Harassment Claim be Wiped Out (Discharged) in Bankruptcy?
A sexual harassment claim can continue even if the guilty party has filed bankruptcy if it is "willful and malicious"[2], but the conduct has to be very serious. For example, where a father had sexually abused his daughter for 10 years, beat her, warned her not to tell others, and threatened her life, the bankruptcy court held that there was no need to have any trial on whether the conduct was willful and malicious, the harm was inevitable, and the daughter's judgment was non-dischargeable and had to be paid even though the father had gone bankrupt[3]. In that case, the daughter had already obtained a judgment. Where there is an accusation of touching that the offending party denies, there will have to be a trial in the bankruptcy court. While I have not been able to find any cases on this, I am very confident that if the woman had to meet sexual demands to keep her job, she would win if the court believed her claims. On the other hand, if the conduct involved only verbal abuse and the injury was psychological, I think the claim would probably be wiped out by the bankruptcy, but I cannot find any reported case which answers this question either way. This is particularly true because bankruptcy judges tend to think only in economic terms, and are generally not receptive to awarding limited dollars against claims of emotional trauma, as opposed to giving it to creditors who have sustained economic losses in hard dollars and who are only going to get a small portion of their claims paid. This might change with the advent of the #metoo movement, though – we'll have to wait and see.

When Men Cry
My childhood hero weeping
A couple of British media sources have been running articles lately related to masculinity. One of them is from the BBC and is a list of 10 things that make men weep in public. I've been interested in this for years. I am so curious about how it is often the most macho of public figures that are unpunished for crying.
For example, professional athletes are often seen crying on or off the sports field. But when I do work with young men they almost always tell me it is not okay to cry in front of their peers. The only reason I can think of to explain this is that the athletes have already proven their manhood in other ways so the crying doesn't damage their image in the same way it might for a struggling teenager.
What do people think of this and the BBC list?

Corning Optical Communications LLC, part of Corning Incorporated's (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, has made a donation of $40,000 to charity: water, a non-profit organization that brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.
The donation is an extension of gratitude to Corning Optical Communications' global customers during this holiday season.
Corning's $40,000 contribution is going entirely to charity: water's purchase of a drilling rig and equipment, which can produce up to 80 wells a year, enough to provide clean water to 40,000 people. The drilling rig will include a plaque recognizing Corning's donation.
The charity partners with organizations to implement clean water solutions and provide maintenance and hygiene training to communities. Safe drinking water is often just 100 feet to 300 feet underground and easily accessible with drilling equipment. On average, a water project can provide clean, safe drinking water for a community of 250 people. Other solutions include well rehabilitations, spring protections, rainwater catchment systems and Biosand filters. Since its inception in September 2006, charity: water has funded 4,282 clean water projects in 19 countries, serving over 2 million people.
"On behalf of Corning, I commend charity: water for their impressive contributions to communities around the world. We're very proud to be a part of this great effort for the second year in a row," Corning Optical Communications' President and CEO Clark Kinlin said. "Knowing these water solutions will dramatically improve living conditions for so many people worldwide is a comfort during this holiday season, and a very special way of honoring our customers. Our customers have also told us how much this gift means to them."
"We're honored to receive Corning's generous contribution and excited by their commitment to our mission to bring clean and safe drinking water to the nearly one billion people currently living without it," said Scott Harrison, founder and CEO of charity: water.
To learn more about charity: water and the difference access to clean and safe drinking water can make for a single life and an entire community, visit www.charitywater.org.

As professionals, we do not exist in a vacuum. A vibrant and healthy practice can often be, in part, the result of some sort of "sharing" between attorneys from different firms. These situations can arise in a variety of circumstances. Sometimes there are aspects to a case that are outside one's immediate area of expertise. Sometimes a case is larger than one can handle on one's own, or might otherwise require an associated outside attorney. Sometimes one needs to associate local counsel. In each of these instances, another lawyer from outside the firm is involved in a client matter.
Unquestionably, sharing is one of the practical hallmarks of our profession, and the importance of sharing has become even more striking during the current economic downturn. But in a professional setting, sharing is much more than that kindergarten golden rule we all learned so long ago. Because we must be paid for our services to survive economically, how to facilitate payment when attorneys from different firms are involved can be ethically complex. The law has a historical abhorrence of any hint of the commercialization of the act of entering into the attorney-client relationship for any reason other than finding the best attorney for the client's needs, completely free of extraneous issues such as financial concerns and/or bias. Thus, the law places strict restrictions on when attorneys may share fees, when attorneys may compensate others for recommending the lawyer's services, and how reciprocal referrals are to be handled. These rules vary quite dramatically from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so it is important for both the referring attorney and the accepting attorney to consult the rules of their jurisdiction carefully. Jurisdictional practice varies from outright prohibition of referral fees, to the requirement of having to work on a case to receive a fee, to the requirements of the assumption of joint responsibility for the outcome of the matter, and/or to client consent, and many variations in between. This article discusses the approach of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct.
The Model Rules generally prohibit an attorney from paying another to recommend an attorney's services ("channeling"), unless the exceptions under Rule 7.2(b)(1) apply. Mode Rule 7.2, Comment 5.
For example, Rule 7.2's proscription does not apply to an attorney's payment for advertising and communications to "channel" work, so long as the advertising and communications otherwise comply with the Model Rules. Model Rule 7.2, Comment 5.
The classic "referral fee," whereby an attorney receives a fee for the referral of a case to another, is a form of fee sharing/fee splitting. Attorneys who are not in the same firm may share/split fees only if (1) the division is proportionate to the work performed, or each attorney assumes joint responsibility; (2) the client agrees in writing, including agreement about the share to be received by each attorney; and (3) the total fee is reasonable. Model Rule 1.5(e).
An attorney may enter into reciprocal referral arrangements with another attorney or a non-attorney professional so long as the arrangement does not violate any other Rules, including interference with the attorney's professional independence. To comply with Rule 7.2 for a reciprocal referral agreement, the agreement must not be exclusive, and the client must be informed of the existence and nature of the agreement. Model Rule 7.2(b)(4). Any fee sharing/splitting under these agreements must comply with Rule 1.5(e) (see preceding paragraph).
Relatedly, an attorney may pay the "usual charges of a legal service plan or a not-for-profit or qualified lawyer referral service." Rule 7.2(b). The attorney may similarly participate in a for-profit prepaid legal service plan if the arrangement does not involve improper fee sharing and the plan sponsor does not interfere with the attorney's independence of judgment. Model Rule 5.4(c); ABA Formal Ethics Opinion 87-355 (1987).
Model Rule 5.4 generally prohibits sharing fees with non-lawyers. This extends to agreements with non-attorneys to solicit clients in return for a share of the fees (i.e., the use of "runners" or "cappers").
Finally, irrespective of fee issues, the Model Rules caution that a lawyer should take care to refer a case only to a lawyer whom the referring lawyer reasonable believes is competent to handle the matter. Model Rule 1.5, Comment 7. This is especially pertinent where there can be liability issues related to reckless referrals that result in damage to the client.
In the end, professional referrals can be a principal cornerstone of the practice of the law. Use them responsibly and ethically, and build your practice to last.

BERLIN- Stephen Decatur's girls' varsity soccer team's first foray into state Class 3A competition ended last Thursday with a 2-1 loss to Atholton on the rainy, windswept field in Seahawk Stadium.
In their first-ever competition in the state's 3A tournament after moving up in class last year following restructuring based on enrollment figures, the Seahawks drew a number-four seed and earned a first-round home game against 13th-seeded Atholton. Unfortunately, the weather and a little bad luck ended Decatur's season with a 2-1 loss to the Raiders.
Atholton wasted no time jumping out to an early lead against the Seahawks, scoring a fluke goal aided in part by the wet field. Decatur goalkeeper Leigh Ann Flounlacker, who was outstanding all season, came out on a ball that skidded over her head and found the back of the net for an early 1-0 lead for Atholton.
A short time later, the Raiders added a second goal to extend the lead to 2-0 just 15 minutes into the contest. There was no quit in the Seahawks, however, despite the miserable conditions and the fact they were on the short end of a 2-0 score early. Decatur's Alyssa Hardesty pulled the Seahawks to within one with a goal at the 16:30 mark on an assist by Lauren Cosgriff.
Decatur continued to apply pressure on the Atholton goal throughout the rest of the first half but failed to capitalize on opportunities. The score remained 2-1 at the intermission in neither team scored in the second half as conditions deteriorated. The loss ended what was otherwise a highly successful season for the Seahawks, who finished with a 9-4 record overall including a 7-3 mark in the Bayside Conference.

For years, the electric vehicle industry has been eager to build a better electric car battery: one that extends range while having a longer overall life, is affordable, quick-charging and safe.
Now Envia Systems, a start-up based in Newark, Calif., has announced it has achieved a critical milestone: a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with an "energy density" of 400 watt-hours per kilogram, the highest energy density known to be recorded.
When commercialized, Envia says the 400 wh/kg battery, with a range of 300 miles and a cost of about $25,000, will slash the price of electric vehicles and make them more affordable for mainstream consumers.
Envia received a $4 million grant from ARPA-E in December 2009 to develop advanced lithium-ion batteries for electric cars. It went on to raise $17 million in venture capital from General Motors Ventures, Bay Partners, Redpoint and Pangaea Ventures.
"We hope that this low cost and high density battery technology enables widespread adoption of electric vehicles across the country and around the world," said ARPA-E (Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy) Director Arun Majumdar.
Batteries are complex systems that convert stored chemical energy into electricity. Researchers say advances often involve trade-offs: improving range may result in skyrocketing costs, or a shorter battery life.
Measured as kilowatt hours per kilogram or liter, "energy density" determines range: The more watt hours, the more miles a car can travel on a single charge. Low-cost, high-energy density batteries are the Holy Grail. Battery costs are expected to come down due to volume manufacturing, but energy density has been a much harder goal to achieve.
Kapadia said that Envia's hard-working team of engineers developed the technology from scratch. After testing the battery in-house, additional testing was performed by the Electrochemical Power Systems Department at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indiana. The company is now in discussion with auto manufacturers.
The Tesla Roadster, Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt all use some form of lithium-ion chemistry in their batteries.

Georgia Woman Discovers the Mystery of Crater Lake
Here at s8int.com, we have no idea whether this story is true or not. However, recreational boating is not allowed at Crater Lake and has not been for some time.
This is a source of criticism of the story by some but please note that Ms. Hatcher, is relating a story that she says supposedly happened years earlier, when she lived in the Hood River Valley (near Crater Lake)as a child, I gather. Tours and scientific boating only are permitted on the lake. Maybe the strange sightings are the reason why it's closed?
Jacque Costeau thought there was something funky in another deep water lake (Lake Tahoe, 1600 feet) saying: "The world isn't ready for what was down there," the quote most commonly credited. Cousteau never released any photographs or data from the dive, adding to the mystery and legend"... SF Chronicle
The 1900 foot deep Crater Lake.
Most callers to the number printed at the bottom of this column have general questions about travel. They want to know about places to vacation, estimates of cost, whether this cruise line is better than another cruise line, and the like.
There are answers for most questions, but more than one is a stumper, especially those concerning how much money a traveler should take to a place the person answering the telephone has never heard of.
Occasionally, however, a call comes in that really spices the day. It happened recently, and the person responsible is a lively lady from Albany, Georgia, named Mattie Hatcher. Mrs. Hatcher receives the News-Star at her home. She is interested in all things happening in Lehigh Acres. As you might expect, her interest starts with the fact she owns several lots in town.
However, Mrs. Hatcher's call did not involve her real estate interests. She had read a recent column here on Oregon. It took her back to when she lived there and the day she got the scare of her life.
It happened when she and some friends were in a rowboat on Crater Lake. She learned then why Indians living in the area seldom refer to the body of water as Crater Lake. To them, it is Lost Lake. According to Mrs. Hatcher, the Indians say that monsters live there.
She believes that what the Indians say is true. Had you experienced what Mrs. Hatcher and her friends did, that day on the lake, you might become a believer as well.
Now for those inclined to think that the lady from Albany, Georgia is overly imaginative, it should be pointed out that her life has been one of strong realities. You get that way when much of experience has involved being a registered nurse and physiotherapist.
Before getting into Mrs. Hatcher's story, a refresher about the mysterious lake. Located near the border Oregon shares with California, the lake is easily reached from Klamath Falls, one of the world's favorite places for seeing bald eagles. Every February, the city hosts the Bald Eagle Conference, a gathering of eagle lovers from throughout the world.
Carter Lake is around 400 feet deep,(sic actually around 1900 feet deep) and the water is so clear that you can see all the way to the bottom. The beautiful lake attracts people from around the state.
When Mrs. Hatcher visited the lake, she was living in Oregon's Hood River Valley. Folk from there often went boating on Crater Lake.
Mrs. Hatcher was looking over the side of the rowboat when she saw it and felt her heart freeze.
Others in the boat saw it too. They were as frightened by it as Mrs. Hatcher. It swam deep down in the lake, and it was unbelievably big.
"That thing must have been a block long," she said. "I have never been so scared in my life. What we saw that day was a monster. To me, it looked like a dragon. I know why the Indians call that place Lost Lake. They say monsters live in it. I believe them. I know, because I saw one there."
Mrs. Hatcher and her friends got to shore as fast as they could row. They told their story, but nobody really believed them. To Mrs. Hatcher, that does not matter. She knows that the story is true, because she was there.

Oregon Creature, August 2003
by Paul A.
It was the 4th of July, 1995. We were camping in a campground called "Moonshine Park" in Siletz, Oregon. We had arrived late in the day and all the camp sites were taken, so we ended up with a site that was somewhat remote.
We could not really see any other campers from our site. We were camped at a site on a cliff overlooking the Siletz River; from the cliff you could look down into the water and see solid rock that formed the riverbed at that section of the river. The water in the Siletz is very clear.
After it got dark, we noticed the sound of snapping branches, very loud, but paid it no mind. About 9 o'clock that night, we decided to go to bed.
I went up to the bathrooms about 1/4 mile from our site. As I was coming back, my wife was at the cliff with a flashlight shining it into the river.
When I got down to her, I could hear her saying, "What is that? What is that?" I went over to the cliff with my flashlight and looked down.
When I shined my light into the river, I saw a thing that was shaped like a person: two arms, two legs, but it had claws with three fingers on each claw.
It was floating in the river on the rocks. It was at the shore moving away from us very slowly. At this point it looked up at us in a very casual way.
When it looked at us, I could see its eyes. They covered about half its head, which was shaped like a bullet - tapered up to a point in the back. Its eyes reflected back the light from the flashlight like a cat's eyes would.
Now both my wife and I are asking each other, "What the h___ is that thing?" It's body was covered in short brown hair, with wisps of hair on the top of the head. So at this point we got really scared.
What absolutely scared me was it had no fear of us. We went and slept in our truck that night because we were to tired to drive three hours back home.
We could hear a camper's dog barking like crazy all night. When we looked in the morning it was of course gone.

Tropical Storm Karen takes aim at U.S. Gulf Coast
|The first cyclone to threaten the U.S. coast this year formed over the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday and was forecast to sweep through offshore oil installations before hitting the mainland between Louisiana and the Florida Panhandle, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Some oil industry workers in the Gulf were evacuated from offshore platforms as Tropical Storm Karen approached a region that produces nearly a fifth of daily U.S. oil output.
Three days after much of the U.S. government was closed down over a budget standoff, the Federal Emergency Management Agency began recalling furloughed workers to help prepare for the storm.
The storm, the first of the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season to take aim at the United States, had top winds of 65 mph and was centered about 400 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi River.
It was moving north-northwest and was expected to be at or near hurricane strength, packing sustained winds of about 74 miles per hour, by late Friday, the Miami-based Hurricane Center said.
Coastal residents could start feeling its bluster by Friday night and on its current track its center was expected to cross the coastline near the Mississippi-Alabama border by late on Saturday.
A hurricane watch was issued for the coast from Grand Isle, Louisiana, south of New Orleans, to Destin, Florida, alerting residents to expect hurricane conditions within 48 hours.
A tropical storm watch was in effect in Louisiana from west of Grand Isle to east of Morgan City. The watch area also included metropolitan New Orleans, Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain. Tropical storms carry winds of 39 mph to 73 mph.
Heavy rains were forecast all along the Gulf Coast into northern Florida, the forecasters said.
The Hurricane Center forecasters were exempt from the U.S. government shutdown because their work is vital to protecting life and property. Their parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, advised that some weather satellite images available to the public on its website "may not be up to date" because of the shutdown.

Successful racing also requires flexibility. Always have a plan going into the race, but be willing to alter your plan if conditions require it.
At the 1984 Olympic Marathon Trials, my pre-race plan was to stay in the second pack and gradually pass people during the race. When the leaders slowed at halfway, however, I picked up the pace. When no one went with me, I had to decide whether to ease off and be absorbed back into the pack, or to forge ahead and try to build my lead.
I decided to keep pushing the pace and hope that I could hold on and make the Olympic team. As it turned out, I built a 30-second lead on the pack, which included Alberto Salazar, Greg Meyer and Bill Rodgers. At 25 miles, Salazar and John Tuttle passed me. By hanging on to them for dear life, I made the team and outsprinted Alberto at the finish to win the race. The change of racing plans proved to be a good decision.
Tactics for Different Distances
The racing tactics we've looked at apply to all distances; even pacing makes as much physiological sense in a 5K as it does in a half-marathon. Still, every distance has its own feel.
Here's some advice on tactics and mental approach for specific popular road races:
Whether you're racing 5K on the roads or on the track, the race is challenging, both physically and mentally. Physically, the 5K is tough because you're racing at just about your VO2 max, so you have very little margin for error in selecting your race pace.
If you start too slowly, you can't make up the time lost later in the race. Worse, and more typical, if you go out too fast, your muscles will accumulate lactate too quickly, you'll have to slow and your finishing time won't be all that suffers.
The secret to a great 5K, therefore, is selecting the fastest pace that you can maintain for the distance. Your VO2 max workouts will give you a good idea of how fast that pace will be.
More: What to Do Before Your 5K
Mentally, the 5K is tough because you must concentrate well for the entire race. In longer races, you can get away with letting your mind wander a bit during the middle miles. During a 5K, however, the effort you need to maintain is too intense to allow a lapse in concentration.
Fortunately, you can learn to maintain your focus by practicing this skill during training. Rehearse running fast yet relaxed, and become aware of how to find the fastest pace that you can hold without tightening up.
One way to help ensure that you achieve your best result in a 5K is to be thoroughly warmed up for the start of the race. Although important for all races, a good warm-up is particularly vital in the 5K, because you don't have the luxury of getting up to speed slowly--as soon as the gun fires, you need to be able to launch into your VO2 max pace.
A thorough warm-up should begin about 45 minutes before the start of the race, and should include 1.5 to 3 miles of easy running, stretching and several accelerations of 100 to 200 meters up to race pace.
At the end of a 5K, you can kick with reckless abandon; you get to stop soon, so it doesn't matter if you accumulate high levels of lactate.
To beat your rival in a 5K, the best strategy is to run an even pace and, if you're with him in the last half-mile, to run off of his shoulder until you're confident that you can make a sustained sprint to the finish. This will usually be with 100 to 200 meters to go. Avoid the temptation to start your sprint too early, or you may find your rival running off your shoulder with one more gear left.
These races require the aggressiveness of a 5K runner and the patience of a marathoner. As in the 5K, you can't afford to start off slowly in an 8K or 10K. At the same time, if you go out too hard, you may experience a long, painful last 3 miles.
The key to these races is to run good middle miles, when your mind has a tendency to drift. The first 2 miles of these races should be easy to run at your goal pace--you're still fresh and feeling good. Similarly, during the last mile, it's not difficult to rally your energy for a drive to the finish.
But it's in the middle miles where your time for the race is largely determined. Your mental approach should focus on these miles. Prepare yourself mentally to concentrate well during this part of the race. Learn your mile splits and work to adhere to them.
More: 4 Tips on Running Your Best 10K
These races require mental toughness. The pace is right at your lactate threshold, yet you must hold this pace for 9.3 to 13.1 miles.
While every race requires a balance of aggressiveness and patience, in races of 15K or longer, the scale is tipped toward discretion in the early stages. By starting the race fast, you may gain a few seconds per mile in the early stages of the race. Going out too hard is dangerous, however, in that it can lead to a slow last few miles and may ultimately add several minutes to your finishing time.
The key to these races is to run an even pace, particularly in the second half of the race. The less you slow down in the second half of the race, the better your time.
Mental toughness can be cultivated during training. Try to run your lactate threshold and VO2 max workouts evenly. Practice holding the pace as you fatigue. Similarly, during your long runs, don't slow in the final miles. Gradually increase the effort as your long runs progress so that you maintain an even pace. This preparation will be invaluable on race day against less-prepared opponents.
During the marathon, the most effective racing strategy is simple: Patience is a virtue. For every minute you gain through irrational exuberance in the first half of the race, several minutes are usually handed back during the second.
How can you minimize both your finishing time and your chances of blowing up? Realize that the most efficient way to use your body's energy supply is to run as close to an even pace as possible. By holding back during the early miles, you'll conserve your glycogen reserves for later in the race.
The most effective mental approach for the marathon is also simple. During the first half, run as relaxed as possible and prepare mentally for the second half. Regardless of whether you aspire to a 2:10 or a 4:10 marathon, it's wise to shepherd your resources for the second half of the race. That requires discipline during the early miles, when your legs feel fresh and the pace feels slow. But rest assured that you'll need your mental energy for the latter stages of the race, when your muscles are complaining and your legs are rebelling.
Even if your powers of concentration are exceptional, it's nearly impossible to run aggressively for 26.2 miles. By staying relaxed early in the race, you'll save more of your mental determination for the latter stages, and will maintain a more even pace.

Is there a Science to Grocery Shopping?
Most of you go grocery shopping when you get paid or are low on household items. You choose to go whenever you have some spare time—often on the weekend. However, did you know that the time and day you hit the grocery store could be costing you? Believe it or not, experts say there is a science to grocery shopping, and if you make the effort to incorporate this into your schedule, you could see the savings add up.
Best day of the week to go grocery shopping: Overall, the best day of the week to hit the food store is Wednesday. This is because most grocery stores start their weekly sales on Wednesday, and some will even still honor the sales from the previous week—which equals double the savings. Be sure to scout the Sunday paper ahead of time so that you can stack your manufacturer coupons with in-store savings.
Worst day of the week to go grocery shopping: Since Wednesday is the best day of the week to shop, it would only make sense that Tuesday is the worst. This is general because stores are more likely to be out of stock on sale items, but studies also show this is the most popular night of the week to make a homemade meal—which translates into crowded aisles and long lines of people stocking up on last -minute ingredients. It is also a good idea to avoid the grocery store on Saturday since this is just a popular day to shop and food items also tend to be less fresh and more picked over.
Best time of the day to go grocery shopping: Typically the best time of day is in the evening around 8 p.m. If you have a 9 to 5 job, this does mean you'll have to go home and then go back out again, but the luxury of having crowd-free aisles, short wait at the deli counter, and a fast checkout time is well worth it. Other good times to go are early in the morning, if possible. Moreover, no matter what, never shop hungry, as it is proven that you will fill your cart with unnecessary and unplanned purchases and go over budget.
Worst time of the day to go grocery shopping: So you are driving home from work, and you need to pick up a few things at the grocery store. Makes sense, right? Well, too bad just about everybody else has that plan too. Whatever you do, avoid the grocery store during the weekday hours of 5 to 7 p.m., as this is prime time for people stopping off on their way home.

The green beacons are satisfied with their cached maps; the red ones will request explorers and periodic re-init of their map and connections until they are complete.
Large scale distribution of ants is done by breadth first search across these beacons, allowing many more searches of the map than could be done with a fine-grained search. Each beacon caches a list of references to its neighbors, and an array containing the path to itself.
The system is not without its problems, but it handled the 200x200 maps well when they were around.

The National Association of Home Builders monthly housing market index took a dramatic dive in February, and gained back one point in March, far below analyst expectations.
The HMI ticked up to 47, the second-lowest it has been since May 2013. NAHB says the primary culprit is the weather.
"Significant weather conditions across most of the country led to a decline in buyer traffic last month," said NAHB Chairman Kevin Kelly. "Builders also have additional concerns about meeting ongoing and future demand due to a shortage of lots and labor."
The full report can be viewed here.
The NAHB index gauges builder perceptions of current single-family home sales and sales expectations for the next six months as "good," "fair" or "poor." The survey also asks builders to rate traffic of prospective buyers as "high to very high," "average" or "low to very low."
Scores for each component are then used to calculate a seasonally adjusted index where any number over 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as good than poor.
Details for March once again show serious weakness in traffic, at 33 vs February's 31. Weakness in traffic points to a lack of first-time buyers and underscores the continued importance of all cash buyers in the housing market.
Other details are on the plus side of 50 to indicate monthly growth but just barely, at 52 for current sales and 53 for future sales. The regional breakdown shows little separation except for the Northeast which lags badly but which however is by far the smallest region for new homes.
New home sales, which had been badly depressed, surged in January but this report points only to incremental growth for February and March. And the traffic component of this report points to a lack of sales growth in the months ahead. Watch for housing starts and permit data tomorrow morning on the Econoday calendar, both of which are expected to bounce back.
"A number of factors are raising builder concerns over meeting demand for the spring buying season," said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "These include a shortage of buildable lots and skilled workers, rising materials prices and an extremely low inventory of new homes for sale."

WASHINGTON - Marines and other U.S. forces in Europe are on a heightened state of alert in response to a deteriorating security situation in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, two U.S. officials said Friday.
The alert order applies to a U.S. special operations team based in Stuttgart, Germany, as well as a Marine group of air and ground forces based in Moron, Spain, according to the officials, who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The forces alerted in Europe are under U.S. Africa Command, which acquired the special operations team in the fall. The command did not have a similar team - or the Marines in Spain - available last September for possible use in response to the deadly attack on the US diplomatic facilities in the Libyan city of Benghazi.
The U.S. has a contingent of dozens of Marines at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli.
The officials said there is no plan to use any of the forces under current circumstances, but a portion of the approximately 500 Marines in Spain have been notified they might be repositioned for a quicker potential response to trouble in Tripoli.
One of the missions for which Marines train is the emergency evacuation of U.S. embassy compounds.
No extra U.S. naval or air forces are being moved into the region in response to the unrest in Libya, the official said.
Hundreds of Libyan activists protested Friday in Tripoli, Benghazi and Tobrouk. They denounced the use of force by the country's unruly militias.
The protesters accuse the Muslim Brotherhood of trying to seize power by pushing through a contentious law that would prevent officials who had served under former dictator Moammar Gadhafi from working in government.
Britain's Foreign Office said it temporarily withdrew some staff from its embassy in Tripoli in light of recent political unrest. Heavily armed militias have surrounded government buildings in Tripoli over the past month, blocking access to ministries to push the parliament to pass the Brotherhood-supported law.
On Thursday the State Department said it was advising U.S. citizens against all but essential travel to Tripoli and all travel to Benghazi and other locations in Libya. It cited "ongoing instability and violence" and said the State Department's ability to provide consular services to U.S. citizens there was "extremely limited."
"The security situation in Libya remains unpredictable," the State Department travel warning said. "Sporadic episodes of civil unrest have occurred throughout the country."

There's not much about the RBH Sound SX-6300/R loudspeaker system not to like.
I've always like RBH speakers, and the reference line especially. It's always a pleasure to stop by the company booth at trade shows to give their latest systems a listen. Audioholics recently checked out the slim tower models SX-6300/R. These speakers, outfitted with aluminum drivers and silk-dome tweeters, combine quality components and engineering in a fairly affordable unit.
Here's some of what Audioholics had to say:
The RBH Sound SX-6300/R is a full range 3-way six driver tower speaker system that features their premium Status Acoustics driver upgrades found in their more expensive product offerings. This system easily reveals any faults in the signal chain feeding it. If you're keen on unleashing the SX-6300/Rs in all their sonic glory than the best upstream electronics your budget allows is definitely called for. It was surprising to hear the sonic differences that were apparent when trying the system with different power amps during recreational listening sessions. This was an easy loudspeaker system to get correctly positioned within the listening space for achieving great sound. There's not much about the RBH Sound SX-6300/R loudspeaker system not to like, though we hope more finish options other than matte black oak will be offered in the future. Their small footprint and phenomenal sound will likely score points with those audiophiles not having a whole lot of free floor space available. All in all RBH have done a fine job in creating what will no doubt be yet another successful product line.
And ...
The SX-6300/Rs performed like a window, allowing the listener to peer into the session that produced the track, conveying an authentic sense of the musicalness contained within it. The SX-6300/Rs have an uncanny knack for reproducing a musical passage without interpreting it, revealing all the weaknesses or strengths of the track, for better or worse. Sweet!
And ...
To put the SX-6300/Rs half dozen 6.5" woofers through their paces I got out the Crown SASS Microphone Demo CD and played back a number of well-recorded drum tracks. With the gain cranked, the drum kit in each if the tracks came through with a palpable realism that was genuinely exciting to experience. Especially outstanding was how cleanly the SX-6300/Rs rendered the transients essential to the sound of any percussion instrument along with the ability to fill the room with the chest-thumping acoustic power of the toms and kick drum. One thing for sure here – the S-6300/Rs love to soak up power, so heed RBH's power recommendations (100 – 300W). The SX-6300/Rs handled the low end so well you could probably get away with not having a sub on hand for two-channel listening, though, as always, I recommend a sub should you use the SX-6300/Rs as part of a home theatre audio rig.

Green GDP as a measure for growth will be implemented in Denmark in order to not completely wear out nature.
The Danish government has decided to implement a green GDP in order to measure its economic growth not only through money, but also how much growth affects nature.
"Today the objective for growth is way too simple", says Christian Friis Bach, Minister for Development Cooperation.
Denmark has given 10 million DKK, about 1.35 million euro to the World Bank for research into key green figures. At the same time Denmark will volunteer in the pilot project to adapt to the objectives advised by the World Bank.
The goal for Denmark is to in about two or three years to yearly publish progress and decline in relation to nature, environment and climate.
The World Wildlife Foundation calls it "one of the most important steps ever" towards a green economy.

I want to say a big thank you for your support yesterday. It feels good to be reassured when you are not so sure about a decision you made! But alhtough i am often pretty goofy, yesterday i was n't making any jokes, so it was pretty weird to find that someone thought it was funny! I believe it is my new christian follower's not so elaborate way to "laugh" at my beliefs, which i find very disturbing! I do not question your faith but you laugh at mine? Why can n't we coexist with love? Why can't we accept each other for who we are? Why can't we be civilised? Why do we have to bring back from Midevil times, fear and stupidity? I would never laugh at a christian. And none of the pagans i know would laugh at a christian(or buddhist or whatever). Maybe i would laugh at the ways they approach and try to convert but never at their belief system. I understand that this is the way to their spiritual path, as paganism is to mine. Is it really difficult to understand this? I do not think so.

Laughing at your beliefs??? Tsk, tsk, tsk! What would Jesus think of this behavior?
In mocking your beliefs, these individuals are mocking the teachings of their own creator.
How very unchristian-like!

I completely agree with you. I guarantee that they do not know the first thing about our religion. But that's ok, because it only makes them look like ignorant bigots, not us. We love and accept everyone for you they are. Their presents on our blog only helps remind me I am being true to what I feel in my heart.
Bright Blessings,

They are the ones who give Christianity a bad name, then wonder why more people don't follow them!
Stand up for what you believe in!
And..."do as ye will, as long as it harm none"!!

I don't think its difficult at all, but I guess, to some, it is. I have to keep reminding myself not to judge and everyone has their own path. Its hard to remember though.

I dont know if im missing a part of the story...not too sure what happened...but when people wont take the time to learn about your beliefs then you shouldnt give up your valuable time to them.
Its jerks like those that give christianity a bad name and if they were so damn christ like then they should nail themselves to a cross. If christians actually followed the teachings of Jesus then I wouldnt have a problem with any of them.
Sorry about that but I have recently had a run in with one such idiot as well. not too happy about it but Im not going to dwell much more on it.

Pagans don't try to convert people, I wish people would not try to convert us! Most of us have such a respect for others of different beliefs (as long as they show us the same respect!).
I hope they do not bother you any more.

Born John Anthony Genzale July 12, 1952 in Queens, New York. He was into the New York Glam scene and speed. Johnny was the guitarist for the New York Dolls, a pioneering glam band. Johnny was soon introduced to heroin from Iggy Pop while partying with his girlfriend the famous groupie, Sable Starr. The Dolls were never accepted into the mainstread and soon burnt out. Johnny and Jerry Nolan, drummer for the Dolls, grabbed Richard Hell (ex-Television) and started the Heartbreakers, a rock and roll group. Hell left before they went on tour with the Sex Pistols on the Anarchy tour of 76. Thunders was now a father of two, Johnny Jr. and Vito and was developing a worse habit. His wife eventually left him in the early '80's around the same time that the Heartbreakers split. He never saw his boys again. Johnny wondered the Earth playing gigs and capitalizing on his "heroin-chic" appeal, mostly for another fix. When in Sweden in the late '80's, he met the mother of his first baby girl, Jaime. Jaime's mother left Johnny because of his irresponsibility and unpredicability. Johnny grew up in a home without a father and was endlessly guilty about becoming a bad father, but his heroin habit was incredibly out of control. Dee Dee Ramone says that he doesn't know how Thunders made it as long as he did. Johnny ventured into solo acoustic work in the end of his career and life while trying to stick with sobriety. Sadly at the age of 42, John Genzale went to a slummy hotel in New Orleans and died the first night from unknown causes. One of his guitars, his clothes and money were missing. The autopsy revealed no substances in his body with high enough levels to kill yet it was discovered that Thunders had advanced leukemia and early AIDS. Needless to say the autopsy was inconclusive and all the original police records were eventually "lost". Generations of musicians have drawn from Johnny's charisma and unique style, punk, hard rock, rock and roll and hair metal all owe it to Johnny. RIP, Thunders.
Keith Richards + Italian hotness + Glam style + New York attitude =Johnny!
