-X" The College News VOL. XVI, NO. 11 BRYN MAWR (AND WAYNE), PA., WEDNESDAY, JAN. 15,1930 PRICE, 10 CENTS Miss Finch Quotes the Alabaster Princess On * Friday evening, January the tenth, under the auspices of the Parents' Association of the Thome School, Miss Lucine Finch presented Her Mammy's Stories in Goodhart Hall. Miss Finch commenced" by announcing that she would, tell these stories exactly as they wese told to her b/ her old Negro mammy. Miss Finch's Negro mammy had been bought in the New Orleans slave market and died in New Orleans a few years ago after giving loyal service to three genera- tions of the Finch family. She was of royal blood and always called herself an Alabaster Princess. At the end "of a long life, said Miss. Finch, she was as much a princess as in the beginning, for slavery had not touched her inner aris- tocracy. Her father was a high-class Moor whose daughter, later Miss Finch's mammy, was stolen and sold by the Moors when he became converted to Christianity. Miss Finch assured her audience that she told these stories in a true spirit of reverence�reverence for the stones them- selves and for the old woman's religion*. The first number in Miss Finch's pro- gram was the story of Moses in the Bul- rushes. This was followed by two old songs chosen from a collection of Negro -lyrics which Miss Finch has compiled. "Not," said Miss Finch, modestly, "that I pretend to be a singer, but because I think it is beauty to preserve them." The songs were: Xobody Krioirs de Trouble I Sec and Who Build de Ark? Miss Finch then told a few amusing anecdotes about -an old slave, a whim- sical character named.

Mrs. Manning Discusses Curriculum Committee Changes in Faculty for Next Semester Announced On Tuesday morning, January four- teenth, Mrs. Manning announced in Chapel the changes planned in the faculty and the work, during the second semes- ter of this year. In the department of Archeology, Dr. Edith Hall Dohan will take over several of Miss Swindler's courses. Miss Swind- ler, who has not had a vacation in twenty years, has been granted leave of absence to take a trip to Egypt. Mrs. Dohan will give her course, iji .Greek' Sculpture, and will take over her graduate work, giving a seminary in Cretan Civilization. Miss Swindler's course in Latin comedy will be taken over by Mr. Broughton, and her course on Ancient Rome will be taken over by Dr. Louise Adams Hol- land. Dr. Dohan graduated from Smith in 1899, and got hgr Ph. D., in Archeology and Greek, at Bryn Mawr, in 1908^ From 1903-05 Mrs. Dohan held a Fellowship in the American School of Classical Stud- ies, at Athens, and from 1909-11 she was instructor in Archeolbgy at Mt. Holyoke College. In the year 1912-13, she was Assistant Curator at the University Museum, in Philadelphia. Dr. Dohan substituted for Dr. Carpenter at Bryn Mawr in 1923-24, and again in 1926. The Latin course in Roman -Life, given by Dr. Broughton in the first semester, will be given by Dr. Holland in the second, and Dr. Holland's course in Advanced Latin Prose will be given by Dr. Taylor. Miss Eleanor Grace Clark, of the Eng- lish Department, has been offered an im- portant position at Hunter College in New York, which she will take after the end of this semester. Thus, she has to U. S. ABOLISHED SLAVERY The Second Event in the Bryn Mawr Series was "Pygmalion," by George Bernard Shaw. The play was pre- sented by the Theatre Guild in Good- hart Auditorium, Tuesday afternoon, December 17. A play of Shavian thrusts and jibes, tested by years of theatrical use, "Pygmalion" is of itself solidly entertaining. The characteri- zation by the Theatre Guild players, al- though it seemed not "always to hark back to a just interpretation of Mr.' Shaw, was adequate; it was more than adequate in Mr. Doolittle as rendered by Dudley Digges, and in the not over- ranting moments of the eccentric Hig- gins, ..Pygmalion himself, as rendered by Elliot Cabot. Mr. Shaw, as usual, has a text for his sermon: phonetics; in his preface, he affirms, with one can- not tell how much malice aforethought, that the play "is so intensely and de- liberately didactic, and its subject es- teemed so dry that I delight in throw- ing it at the heads of wiseacres who repeat parrot-like that art should never be didactic." Higgins, a teacher extraordinary ^gf phonetics, becomes professionally en- chanted by the tones of the Cockney wench, Eliza, and resolves to take her into his flat and "make a duchess out of this draggle-tailed gutter snipe." Moreover, Higgins succeeds, and pro- duces an exquisitely empty-headed "lady"�Eliza herself has wits in plenty �of long drawn-out syllables; Eliza's manufactured airs are absorbed as the latest mode by the social aspirant Clara Hill, and enslave her brother Freddy. This Pygmalion however is a boor in extravagant whimsies and unman- ly conduct; his interest in Eliza is merely scientific and practical: she is the product of a "job," and incidentally she is a good girl for picking up his slippers; that the girl may have "feel- ings" is not his concern, and he is rather tired .of the whole affair by the time he has .finished her off-. Eliza, cut by his indifference even to her phonetic-*�hieve#iients, throws the slip- pers^at'him, rouses him to self-right- eous indignation and runs away. Hig- gins finds her at the house of his mother, and he, using abominable lan- guage, ^comes as close as ever he can to apology; Eliza gives him a final rebuff and ends the play with a threat to rival Higgins in his profession. The action is thus left up in the air, but in the wicked postscript those interested may discover a statement telling of Eliza's subsequent marriage to Freddy Hill. Shaw's plays are' not spectacles; the scenery is negligible and success de- pends upon the "getting across" of the lines and the implications. The open- ing scene under the portico of St. Paul's Chdrch in a London fog purposes to jostle the characters against each other and to display- the Notetaker's profi- cient detection of twangs. But either the point of the remarks was oblit- erated in the swish of the rain, or the confusion depicted became too realistic, for the total effect was as indistinct as the background. The four succeeding acts moved smoothly with clearly spoken lines, disturbed only in the uproars staged by Eliza and Higgins.

Mrs. Manning last year wrote a letter to Presi- dent Park pointing out some defects of the present system, and the Committee has also welcomed suggestions from the undergraduates. The difficulty with the 9 curriculum in all schools and colleges of today lies in the number of subjects to be taught; the older. type of education was more limited in its scope, and its problems were infinitely simpler; a good deal can be said for a curriculum limited to certain subjects. But when you teach only a half dozen subjects you neces- sarily narrow the outlook of the whole school community; no logical reason exists for such a limitation, since many subjects, such as Economics and So- ciology, are .closely-related to every-day life, and without some range of knowl- edge a student is not educated when she receives her Bachelor of -Arts degree. Mrs. Manning considers that in the present arrangement of- courses not enough time is allowed to make of the individual course what the members of the faculty want it to be. Students in- evitably rush from one lecture to another, and the students in general do not have leisure to work out plans for themselves. Requirements and schedule sometimes seem- to be unnecessarily complicated. The present demand for more time for individual work is in one sense new. A few years ago the students were always telling the faculty that they lectured too much, but the undergraduates then wished discussions in which all would take part. It has since then been shown that in some subjects reading and time for study are more necessary than discussion. The Committee is considering new ar- rangements of courses which will make a more flexible lecture schedule. It has been shown that a course may meet two or three times a week, and the students do as much work as for a five-hour course. The real question is how many subjects the student should work on at once. The Committees-believes that the student ought to spend one-third or one- fourth of her time on each of her funda- mental courses. This would mean taking less courses, and many students object to such a plan. Their objection rests on the perfectly sound idea that they do not wish to miss one opportunity for becoming acquainted with many differ- ent kinds of subjects. The Committee would be glad if it could work out a sys- tem by which the student could inform herself along general lines while devot- ing half her time or more to a special line. But it is essential to give all major courses and retired courses the time they deserve. The work of the college cannot accomplish what it should, unless the basic sources�major and required subjects, have the place they deserve in the students' work-time and leisure. The Curriculum Committee may possi- bly not be ready with a definite plan this year. They are glad of suggestions from the undergraduates even when they can- not incorporate all suggestions into their plans. Interesting Interpretation Lays No Stress on Shaw's Moral. DOOLITTLE IS SHAVIAN her undergraduate work at Bryn ever, considering that Shaw's assertion may be half-way trusted, and that he is after all preaching phonetics, this feature of the play is barely marked in Higgins' articulation, and Eliza, al- though her shrill "gutter-snipe" tones were good, was not in her diction the "lady" one would expect. In their ac- tions also Higgins and Eliza were rather broad caricatures of "personali- ties than^ personifications of Shaw's ideas. It was in the interludes devoted Glen's Freshman Elective Course, and to Middle Class Morality as expounded CaMUKd on I'��r Four Continued on Parr Three Calendar Wednesday, January 15:.

On Wednesday night, January 8, Pro- fessor Alfred North Whitehead, of Har- vard University, gave the first lecture on the Mary Flexner Foundationship in Goodhart Hall. Professor Whitehead took- as his title The History of Ideas.\ This title as such, he said, might be taken as symbolic of the history of the human race. But the human race must write its own history, and it is this fact which Professor Whitehead proposed to consider by illustrations and examples. The facts in detail depend on scholarly criticism; for the scholar selects from his observations and gives his own inter- pretations of events, thus arriving at pure history. The notion of history must be devoid of personal and petty prejudices. The historian is dependent on his own judgment as. to what is important to human life. � Miss Martin Speaks On N. S. F. A. Conference Take first the political history of man- kind. Hegel observed it in the Prussian �State, Macaulay later in England. One cannot consider the wisdom or folly of it except� by some standard of judgment constituting the driving force of ideas. The notion oi mere knowledge is one to dismiss. Graduations appear in all gen- eralities. Specific forms appear arising from the specific circumstances of the race and of the civilization. There is an emotional accompaniment to these gen- eralities due to a feeling of. one's own importance, and to the specific forms in which they are. manifested: in a national anthem for instance. Gibbon's History tells a two-fold talc. It tells of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire over a period of a thou- sand years; he describes administration, wealth, religion, and philosophy; he por- trays greatness and smallncss, soldier and statesman, happiness and hom>r. But throughout the whole it is Gibbon who speaks. Transition in All Ages. Comparing steam and democracy, and barbarism and Christianity, steam and barbarism are defenseless agencies, de- mocracy and .Christianity are articulated beliefs. A well-marked transition can be traced to steam and democracy. A period of change is oiie of hope or despair, of discovering new worlds or of being haunted on the shore. It is easy to exag- gerate in contrasting the ages, for one's point of view depends entirely on surviv- ing records and whosever's feelings they represent. In every transitional age there is an oncoming complexity of habit be- tween which lies force of habit. All de- pends on the standpoint of criticism; a history of ideas depends on a knowledge of history. w Man is not. young, and in all ages there Is*always transition. In the forest age some who tried to climb and live in trees became known as apes; then some of the race descended* to the ground and became men. It is the order of history. The Huns had some ideas preferable to the degenerate Romans. Steam engines represent brute force. Intellectual impulse is subject to gen- eral ideas and specific notions. Each age distinguished by high effort finds some profound cosmological outlook, which is Only partly expressed. Intellectual strife is mainly concerned with generalities. In each period the form is transcendent, and only1- by an effort are we aware of it Take the political history of the Medi- terranean�Pericles and Cleon, Caesar and Cicero all differed; yet all agreed fundamentally that a large slave popula- tion was necessary for an active state \ substratum was needed because the civil community is not self-sufficient. The fact was derived from an earlier desire of the Egyptians for bricks, so they cap- tured the Hebrews who supplied the mechanism for building. The problems are still alive today and" yet we differ on the only point to which trtem-slavery wnj*j In Chapel on Thursday Margaret Mar- tin, '30, gave her impressions of the fifth annual congress of the National Student Federation of America which met at Stan- ford University from the first until the fourth of January. The first conven- tion of this federation was hejd at Princeton five years ago.. "Its aim was a permanent and inclusive organi- zation of colleges and universities in America. This movement was a part of a general development of student or- ganization in countries throughout the world, begun in Strasbourg in 1919, and resulting in'the International Confed- eration of Students." This year the conference aspired to a completer un- derstanding of problems of students in Ainetita and abroad which would lead to a sort of general citizenship of the world. "The congress began on January the first with an informal tea in the after- noon and a reception at the President's house in the evening. Such social ac- tivities�lunchcofls, more teas, and an- other dance�continued throughout the conference. In me business meetings many pertinent � problems were dis-. cussed, among them the question of self-government for, men's colleges and self-government for women's colleges. These discussions were very illumi- nating. Apparently some colleges have quite surprising difficulties, especially the big universities where .there are problems of cheating that are simply phenomenal. In comparison our col- lege seems quite serene. . . . The Honor System was another subject fo'r discussion, and there was put the ques- tion: 'Is the Honor System of enough importance that the N. S. F. A. should sponsor its promotion and extension?' Under the heading Buying and Selling the problem of 'hot' and 'cold' checks arose, and for a moment almost every- one was at a loss until it was ex- plained that these were bad checks often passed by students at those col- leges that had co-operative stores run by students. In the future it was sug- gested that there be regional confer- ences held before the large congress. "As for general impressions one saw the distinct difference between the Eastern and the Western colleges, and between the large and the small col- leges. The larger ones were so much more difficult to handle. ' The real value of the conference is in its inter- national work, which is definitely, con- structive. This year the Bulgarian students are being helped. "At the close of the conference sev- eral resolutions were passed: first, that there be elected an executive secretary to act as a definite managing head of the Federation; secondly, that delegates returning from the congress should es- tablish local committees to make people N. S. F. A.-conscious, and thirdly, that a tax�finally determined to be two cents per capita�should be levied on students in all colleges par- ticipating in the Federation." presupposed; to us freedom is presup- posed. This growth of the rights of man is exemplified in the history of ideas. Its- conclusion will be the trial of a later stage of civilization. Idea of Freedom in Greece. Historical civilization^ is remarkable for two reasons: first, there is a culmination of slavery in classical history�to be civ- ilized was to be a slave owner. Some among them, Cicero and Pliny, were kind; some were efficient and therefore brutal. And second, KC sec in the class- ics an introduction 51 the modern criti- cal system. Plato was an aristocrat by birth and by c�nviftioiis. but we-cannot read the Dialogues without noticing a question in his mind concerning the rights of human nature.'

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Six Westminster College senior art students will be presenting select work from their portfolios March 4-29 in Patterson Hall's Foster Art Gallery. A reception will be held March 16 from 2-4 p.m.
The Senior Art Show features the works of both fine art and media art students. In addition to work created during their first three years of studies, students also have an opportunity to showcase a project created in their senior capstone. Capstone is a senior-level course within the major designed to provide an opportunity for students to work independently with Westminster College fine art and media art faculty to assess their cumulative body of work and make appropriate adjustments to prepare a professional art or media art portfolio.
The greatest strength of this year's show is the diversity of the type of work and disciplines represented by the following Westminster College seniors:
Andrea Abercrombie, a media art major, is a daughter of Keith and Dana Abercrombie of Acton, Calif., and a graduate of Paraclete High School. She has chosen to showcase a variety of her photography, the majority of which is focused on nature and wildlife. Deeply inspired by environments encountered during travel, Abercrombie hopes to illustrate the unique creatures and spaces in a way that creates a feel of respect and awe.
Victoria Ludwig, an English and fine art major, is a daughter of Richard and Grace Ludwig and a graduate of Mercer Area High School. Her project is inspired by a personal animation project she hopes to make into an animated series. It shows the journey of an explorer who travels to another world and documents his findings through journal entries that hang from a structure resembling primitive architecture from that world. Ludwig has used this project as an opportunity to explore the world in which her animation takes place and further develop the concept.
Emily McElroy, a media art major, is a daughter of David and Patti McElroy of Pittsburgh and a graduate of North Allegheny High School. Her presentation will include 36 photographs. The subjects are varied to include the many subjects she is passionate about capturing in a photograph. McElroy loves to capture small moments with her photographs, whether they are of people, nature, or the many other beautiful things that surround us every day.
Anna Price, a fine art major, is a daughter of Richard Price and Georgianna LaRocque-Price of Elmira, N.Y., and a graduate of Horseheads High School. Her capstone explores how emotions overlap and intersect. It also is to strengthen her portfolio. Price would like to become an art therapist, so the emotion series was a way to explore art as a form of expression and healing.
Bryan Thompson, a media art major, is a son of Larry and Cheryl Thompson of Bellbrook, Ohio, and a graduate of Bellbrook High School. His capstone presentation includes a variety of graphic design pieces ranging from logos, packaging, illustration and advertisements. The compilation of his work was formed from time spent at Westminster and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
Michael Wilkinson, a media art major, is a son of Reuben and Brenda Wilkinson of Millersville, Md., and a graduate of Old Mill High School. Most of his skills lie within Adobe Illustrator as seen in many of his projects and his illustrations. Wilkinson enjoys trying new things with his designs, learning what different design tools do, and how by using them he can create something no one has seen before.
In addition to the capstone presentations, the students present at appropriate regional or national conferences, and at Westminster's Undergraduate Research and Arts Celebration April 24. This showcase for student creative and research efforts will feature the work of more than 200 Westminster students, who will present posters, oral presentations, documentaries, art projects, and performances.
Contact Kurt R. Roscoe, assistant professor of media art and design, at (724) 946-7237 or email for additional information.

Lotus Engineering continued to rapidly expand, acquiring testing and development facilities in the USA, and Lotus Engineering Inc. in Ann Arbor, Michigan was established. This represented a crucial in-road to the important American market for the automotive consultancy business.
On the eve of the inaugural round of the Autobytel Lotus Championship race series at Brands Hatch, Lotus thrilled the crowds by unveiling the new Exige (right). Styled on the Sport Elise racer (below), the Exige was an exhilarating yet well mannered road car, with the soul of a track car.
In response to enthusiasts demand for even more performance Lotus responded with the introduction of the Sport 160. An awesome performer that made a big impression with the track day crowd.
However, by far the most significant event of the year was the launch of the new generation Elise with improved performance, styling, handling and quality (pictured right).
The sports car was immediately labeled by the press 'The best just got better', and enforced Lotus' position at the forefront of vehicle design technology.
The new bespoke Research and Development Centre at Hethel opened in July, and Lotus Design was the first department to move in.
The first 340R's are delivered to customers.
Lotus, famous for taking things to extremes, provided support to Coventry University design student, Ted Mannerfelt. Ted's Extreme concept design study complemented the Lotus design ethos – it was light, quick, innovative, agile, and was influenced by the worlds of aerospace, motorbikes and powerboats. The Extreme (pictured left) had two powerplants - a 100bhp 700cc motorbike engine running on natural gas, and a 20bhp electric motor - producing 0-60mph in 5.0secs, and yet returned 110mpg.
The first year of the new millennium saw Lotus building more cars than ever before in its 53 year history and soon after being voted "Britain's Best Driver's Car" by Autocar Magazine.
Lotus announced its new Engineering Operations Centre in Technology Park Malaysia" (TPM) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The favourable and fast moving ASEAN economy had prompted Lotus to develop a greater presence in this region and in particular in Malaysia. As a "corporate neighbour" to some of the worlds leading car manufacturers, Lotus was able to offer a number of benefits to its customers including improved communications with its clients and the ability to stay in tune with the ASEAN market.
The Esprit, unveiled in 1972 as a concept at the Turin Motorshow, entered production in the mid 1970's, and was accepted as being one of the world's finest supercars. To celebrate 30 years of this performance car, Lotus gave the Esprit an up-to-date facelift.
Lotus unveiled an addition to the Elise range with the 156hp Elise 111S
PROTON acquired the remaining shares from ACBN Holdings and so become 100% shareholders in Lotus Group International Ltd.
Lotus Cars were awarded the Queens Award for Enterprise, for contribution to International Trade, one of just 85 companies receiving recognition in that category in 2002.
Late 2003 saw the last Lotus Esprit roll off the production line marking the end of over 27 years of production.
In addition to announcing that the Elise will be on sale in US for 2004, Lotus also announced that it will also go on sale in Mexico and Russia.
A new Lotus Exige is announced for 2004.
Lotus became the shirt sponsor for Norwich City Football team, 'the Canaries', reinforcing links with the local community and a popular sport.
At the 2004 Geneva Show, Lotus presented the new Lotus Exige on the world stage. At the same event Lotus also launched a track version, the Lotus Exige Series 2.
At the end of January, Lotus launched the new 189hp Lotus Elise 111R.
The new Lotus Elise 111R is awarded Best Sports Car 2004 by BBC Top Gear, bringing the total number of awards to over 50 since the cars debut in 1995
In America, the Elise goes on sale and was star of the Show at the Los Angeles Motorshow.
20 000th Lotus Elise Drives Off The Production Line, making it the most popular Lotus ever.
The new Elise set a new one-year sales record in the USA, firmly re-establishing Lotus as the pure sports car brand for the U.S. market.
Over 2,300 cars were delivered, establishing the Elise as the most successful model in Lotus' 57-year history.
The Lotus Sport Exige, the 400bhp 850kg GT2 specification race car debuted in 2005 and built by Lotus Sport, Hethel, UK, won the Petronas Primax 3 Merdeka Millennium 12 Hour Endurance race trophy at the International Sepang circuit, Malaysia on Sunday 27th August.

1. Thanks, but no tanks
A midseason run of 15 losses in 19 games doomed any hopes the Colorado Avalanche had of making a surprise playoff run, and the 2013 campaign will most likely be remembered for the Ryan O'Reilly offer sheet saga or goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere saying earlier this month that "some guys are more worried about their Vegas trip at the end of the season than playing the remaining games."
The funny thing is, since Giguere's call-out, things have turned around a bit for the Avalanche. Six of Colorado's last seven games have been against playoff contenders, and the Avs have collected points in five (3-2-2). This late-season upswing may wind up hurting the Avs' draft position, but the lowest they can possibly pick is No. 7 (they'd be No. 2 in the draft order if the season ended today), and there is something more important at stake here: reclaiming pride for the organization.
"You want to go into the summer with a good feeling, and these last games can really affect that," center Matt Duchene told Sporting News. "As a team, I think we're pretty close. We have some really good pieces, and guys that are learning all the time, including myself. We're getting experience, and you only improve through adversity. That's the way I look at it here, and if we can all look at it that way, we take lessons and become better for it, we set ourselves up to become a better hockey team."
Duchene is 22, as is O'Reilly. Gabriel Landeskog, the team captain, is 20. On defense, Tyson Barrie has shown promise at 21, and should be joined sooner rather than later by Duncan Siemens, picked nine spots behind Landeskog at No. 11 in the 2011 Draft. Beyond that extreme youth, it is worth remembering that the only member of the Avalanche's top six who is as old as 30 is P.A. Parenteau, who just hit that milestone last month, and is a late bloomer by NHL standards anyway, having played only five games in the league before he was 26.
"So many of our guys are young, and even P.A., who's older in age, he hasn't been in the league that long, and he's still learning and improving all the time," Duchene said. "He's a big asset, and hats off to management for signing him. He's been outstanding for the team as well as myself. I've really enjoyed playing with him. We're all going to continue to get better and improve, and take this and get better from it. You can't let a season like this get you down. You can't let yourself get behind the 8-ball mentally. You've got to continue to push."
Colorado also has some roster continuity ahead; the only unrestricted free agents this summer are Patrick Bordeleau, Milan Hejduk, and Chuck Kobasew. Add a high pick in this June's draft—perhaps top-ranked defenseman Seth Jones, who grew up in Denver—and the Avalanche can plot a course back toward contention by building around a young, talented core.
2. YIkes
Before the season began, the prediction column of one Sporting News summed up the Columbus Blue Jackets' prospects with one word: "Yikes." That turned out to be a better descriptor of the predictions as a whole.
Of the 16 teams pegged to make the playoffs, seven wake up today in playoff positions, with the New York Rangers clinging to eighth place in the East. The Sharks, Ducks, Capitals, Canadiens, Islanders, and Maple Leafs, all picked for the draft lottery, have clinched playoff spots.
There were some big misses—"too many goals are going to wind up in the back of Ottawa's net" jumps out for what has been the toughest team to score on in the East—but other pieces of analysis ring true, such as that for the Flyers, "defensive depth is a major concern" and that the Blackhawks are "arguably the most talented offensive team in the league."
But then there was this: "Toronto Maple Leafs: Tyler Bozak is the top-line center, and people are clamoring for the Leafs to trade for a goalie? Okey dokey." The pick for Toronto was 14th. The Leafs have been the worst possession team in the NHL. And yet there they are in the playoffs, and there is Sergei Bobrovsky in net for the Blue Jackets, with everyone else saying "Yikes" when they have to try to get pucks past him.
Still sticking with Canucks over Penguins in the Finals, though.
3. Slash in a flash
"Do you think the NHL should look at changing the rules with regard to a delayed penalty call? In this I mean, given Daniel Sedin was pretty much in the process of putting the puck in the net (during Monday's Canucks-Blackhawks game), Duncan Keith two-hand slashed him in the back, causing the referee to raise his arm, only to see the puck go in, thus nullifying the call. Essentially, Keith knew Sedin was likely to score, and thus got a free cheap shot. What I'd like to see is even with a delayed call on the way, if the team scores with the extra attacker, the penalty would still be called, and that team would still get a power play."—Duncan Gardiner
It's an interesting idea, and a far more enjoyable discussion to have about that play than trying to assess the appropriate level of outrage for Keith's dismissive comments to a female reporter when asked about the slash after the game.
The idea should be that you do the crime, you do the time, meaning that each two-minute penalty should be a two-minute penalty. In addition to appealing to a sense of justice, making players serve full penalties would pump up scoring while also putting a greater emphasis on clean play. Under this set of rules, it would also make sense for a player to serve his delayed penalty regardless of whether the aggrieved team winds up scoring.
Under the current rules, though, a penalty on a play like Keith's slash can result in one of three outcomes. One is what happened: a goal, with no further disciplinary action. Had Sedin not scored, a penalty shot could have been called, or Keith could have been sent to the box for two minutes. The tweak for this situations: if it's not a penalty shot, alter the standards on a delayed call—if the fouled player (in this case Sedin) continues his play and scores, give him the goal, and assess the penalty, much like an opportunity for a continuation call in the NBA to set up a three-point play. The NHL should be rewarding its skill players for making skill plays, and punishing those who go outside the rules to stop them—even when their illegal efforts fail to do so.
4. Bolting from Tampa
"If the Tampa Bay Lightning were to use their two buyouts, who do you think they should use them on?"—Harley Griffin
Tampa Bay has 18 players signed for next season at a total cap charge of $61.8 million, so using at least one of the two available buyouts is something that at least has to be considered for a team that has underachieved for two straight seasons after getting to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals in 2011.
To be eligible for a buyout, a player must make at least $3 million a year, and there are 10 such players on the Lightning's payroll. Immediately cross Martin St. Louis and Steven Stamkos off the list, as well as Victor Hedman and Teddy Purcell. Matt Carle might be worth thinking about for a split-second at $5.5 million, but you're not going to find anyone better or cheaper to play 23 minutes a night. Buying out the final season of Sami Salo's contract also makes little sense—his problem this season has been that he has faced stronger competition than a 38-year-old defenseman should on a nightly basis, while playing his most per game since 2008.
That leaves four candidates, and the list drops to three because injured defenseman Mattias Ohlund cannot be bought out—although he can go on long-term injured reserve to avoid counting against the cap.
Eric Brewer has two years remaining on his contract, with a cap hit of $3.875 million, while Ryan Malone has two years left at $4.5 million. Buying out Malone would be cheaper, as he only has $5 million left in salary on his deal, compared to $7.75 million left for Brewer, and provide more cap relief. Malone also has seven points in 23 games this season. Between his salary, cap hit, and production, he's the easiest choice.
The hardest choice, if Tampa Bay wants to use both buyouts, is whether to then use the other on Brewer or Vincent Lecavalier, who has worn a Lightning jersey since last century and has been on the ice for more Tampa Bay goals than anyone else, ever, including the team-record 383 that he himself has scored. It's not like Lecavalier stinks, with 30 points in 36 games this year. It's not that he's super old, having turned 33 last week. It's the contract. Tampa Bay owes Lecavalier $45 million over the final seven years of his deal, and by the time he's at the end of it, will a $7.7 million cap hit really make sense? Or, if Lecavalier retires early, will Tampa Bay be hit with cap benefit recapture penalties? The final three years of Lecavalier's deal only pay a combined $6.5 million.
The smart move for the Lightning would be to buy out Malone this summer, then wait a year and reassess with Lecavalier. At the very least, Tampa Bay gets another year with him, and the amount on his contract left to buy out would be down to $35 million.
5. Cleveland rocks
"Any chance we get another chance down the road? The Barons were a loooong time ago and only for two seasons."—Chris
You never want to say never, but there are multiple reasons that Cleveland never comes up as a potential landing spot for an NHL team the way that places like Quebec, Seattle, and southern Ontario do.
The biggest problem is that there are three teams within a three-hour drive for anyone in the Cleveland metro area, in Columbus, Detroit, and Pittsburgh. The Blue Jackets' presence is really the biggest detriment to the idea of a Cleveland team, while the Penguins' reach extends much deeper into Ohio than the Steelers, for whom hatred begins right around the state line.
Combine the geographic problem with the reality of population—both the city of Cleveland and the metro area as a whole have been on a downward trend for decades—and a return is even less appealing for the NHL. While attendance has generally trended in a positive direction for the AHL's Lake Erie Monsters, there is a big difference between the AHL and NHL, and if the NHL was in the business of relying on AHL attendance data to place teams, there would be a franchise in Hershey, Pa., by now.
The best chance for Cleveland to get back into the NHL, then, is probably the development of a promotion/relegation system with the AHL, which… good luck getting NHL owners to agree to that anytime soon. The most conceivable way for that to happen is after European teams are folded into a global league—which would be awesome—but at that point, you're no longer really talking about the same NHL. So, for Cleveland, memories of Dennis Maruk and Gilles Meloche will have to suffice.

My dog's oncologist recommended radiation therapy (I didn't even know they did that in animals!) How can you get them to stay still? And what kind of side effects should we expect?
Lili Duda, VMD, MBE, DACVR Veterinary Radiation Oncologist- University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Radiation therapy is a standard treatment for many veterinary cancers. The treatments are delivered using the same equipment, techniques, and protocols as with people. Since patients must remain perfectly still while getting the treatments, veterinary patients require sedation or anesthesia to accomplish this. Modern anesthesia drugs are very safe, and veterinary patients are monitored with ECGs, blood pressure, pulse ox, just as with people. Side effects are limited to the area being treated, and depend on the location in the body. Typically the side effects resemble sunburn, start towards the end of treatment and last a few weeks.

This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View the entire transcript from When a Beloved Pet has Cancer.
Nov 1, 2010 - Radiation therapy appears to reduce recurrence rates when added to surgical treatment of rectal cancer and to increase survival when added to medical management of prostate cancer, and a highly targeted radiation approach may reduce gastrointestinal complications associated with prostate cancer treatment, according to three studies to be presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, held from Oct. 31 to Nov. 4 in San Diego.

How is this one even possible? Well, it is- and it's SO EASY too!
You'll get everything you need to do this startling and quick bit of ESP-based mentalism. Even if you've never done mentalism before. Even if you have absolutely no skills. If you can take a card out of an envelope, you can do this trick!
Here's how it looks: You hand the small spiral notebook to your spectator. The book has pages inside with patterns of different symbols and shapes. Point out that each page is different, and there are odd- and even-numbered pages. Let him openly turn the pages, and stop at any page he freely chooses.
Now the magic happens. Take out the envelope, and remove the prediction. "Everyone stops on an odd numbered page"- and lo and behold, your spectator's page is odd-numbered!
BUT WAIT- that's not the end! Turn the printed prediction over. On the back is a pattern of symbols that EXACTLY MATCH the pattern on the chosen page!
Boy, oh boy- this is a GREAT effect! No forcing. No long/short pages. Only one prediction envelope- no switching. And when you do it the next time, that spectator can choose a totally different page, and it STILL WORKS!
This is a mindreading effect that is suitable for any level of experience. It truly is startling! And yes, YOU CAN LEARN IT in minutes!
Also known as Behaviour Patterns.

Thermal Simulation Validates Motor Design and Reduces Heatsink Weight
January 2008
AnJen Solutions recently used Flomerics' FloTHERM computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to assist MagneMotion, Inc. in their design of a vertical lift elevator made of linear synchronous motors (LSM). AnJen Solutions performed a weight versus thermal performance analysis of the LSM rail heatsink. "FloTHERM provided a detailed understanding of the conductive heat transfer between the heatsink and the LSM rail support structure and convective heat transfer to the surrounding environment," said Michael Rigby of AnJen Solutions. "The simulation demonstrated that reducing the number of fins and changing the fin spacing and thickness would reduce the weight of the heatsink by 1/3 while providing the same thermal performance as the initial design."
The rail thermal load and vertical orientation required a more detailed thermal simulation than is typically done on horizontally oriented LSM rails that make up material transport systems. The vertical orientation results in non-constant heat transfer coefficient and rising ambient air temperature. The temperature of the LSM rail encapsulation material is the limiting factor.
The advantage of CFD is its ability to model the airflow around the LSM which makes it possible to predict convection accurately. Flomerics' FloTHERM software is specially designed for the challenges of modeling thermal management of electronic and electrical systems. "FloTHERM offers a wide range of features such as an automatic optimizer and compact models that make it possible to improve cooling performance and reduce engineering time," Rigby said. "These and other capabilities of the software made it possible to optimize the design of the heatsink which was important because the overall weight of the LSM was a critical concern to MagneMotion's customer."
FloTHERM solved the complete thermal problem including conduction from the motor through the mechanical structure and the heat sink and convection from the mechanical structure and heat sink to the air. FloTHERM solved the buoyancy equations to determine the airflow caused by the heat loading. Rigby evaluated 11 different design scenarios by varying the heat sink fin count and thickness in the model. A fin count of 15 and fin thickness of 3 mm provided the lowest weight while still meeting the encapsulation temperature limits. The weight of 39 pounds for the optimal heat sink configuration provides a weight savings of more than 1/3 compared to the baseline configuration.
"FloTHERM provided a detailed understanding of the convective heat transfer from the LSM heatsinks and structural supports and of the conductive heat transfer within the structure," Rigby concluded. "The CFD simulation saved engineering time and reduced time to market by enabling us to verify the thermal design of the entire LSM without having to build a prototype. Simulation also enabled a substantial reduction in weight and hence material cost of the heat sink."

Here are the highlights of the Italian Championship between Juventus and Napoli. Juventus won 3-0! It was a fantastic game (given that I have been won over by the ever charismatic Juventus) and I now make it my mission to see their games whenever I can. The most amazing goal of the game comes at minute 4:00 of this clip.
Naturally, it would have been impossible to avoid the soccer fever, given that I already find it to be one of the most entertaining sports to watch. I appreciate this side of the Atlantic quite a bit more given that when I tell people how American football is a brutish, ugly sport for the weak of mind, I don't receive cold shoulders, icy stares, or a string of words that are better left unrepeated.
What I remember vividly from the States are the complaints that soccer is just "too boring." Well, to aid in the inculcation of culture into my readership, I offer hear a list of the ways to make soccer an enjoyable sport–advice taken straight from the actions of Italians.
1) Like the fans of Roma, choose one team to become a fan of. Then, despise all other teams regardless of nationality, skill level, or reason.
2) While watching the game, work yourself into a great fit over every little thing that happens. If things are going poorly, lament to the heavens that all is lost. Then, when things turn around become ecstatic.
3) Physical movement: jump, pout, shout, storm out, clap, slap, don't nap, bang the wall, let your head fall, shake your fist at the ref's call, cheer, sneer, and above all bear in mind that you have now become very entertaining to your friends.
4) If your interested in learning a bit of Italian, the more vulgar side, watch with Italians.
5) Pay attention! In the fifty minutes that pass before the first goal is a subtly building tension that makes that one goal a thousand times more satisfying than the bevy of points we experience in every game of basketball. Hockey fans might be better equipped to understand this.
Of course, all of this cannot go without being said that Butler has a fantastic soccer team, and that unfortunately I have not frequented their games as much as I would have liked. Consider this a promise to see them more when I return!

Hey there, Scorpion!
In recent interviews, David Ellefson has mentioned the band UFO. As I am a fan of both Megadeth and UFO, I was wondering if David could shed some light on some of his favorite UFO albums and songs?
Thank You,
Hey Jeremy, I caught up with David while he was in Mexico recently on Megadeth's Latin America tour for 2010, and this is what he had to say about the great band, UFO!
"My stories are only that Pete Way and I became friendly when Waysted opened for Iron Maiden at Irvine Meadows, CA back in 1988. To me, Pete was an icon bassist with UFO. He played cool lines, looked cool and was the quintessential English hard rocker.
Pete and his girlfriend came to the European Clash of the Titans show in Birmingham England in 1990 and by then we were professional 'contemporaries'. It was an honor to now have him as a guest at our show as Megadeth was on the rise in a big way that year.
Other than that, Michael Schenker and I have been friends since 1993 when we first met in Los Angeles. He then lived by me in Scottsdale, AZ for many years, although we only met up once at our local grocery store a few years back!
UFO were a staple in my record collection as a kid and it is a thrill for me to know them as friends, even as a professional player now."
Keep rockin' Jeremy! You and David have some great taste in music!

Not a question for Dave, which is probably a rarity. The question is for Shawn Drover...Shawn has it been easy to adapt to the groundwork laid before you on the skins? Megadeth has had some of the most brutal beats and was also curious to find out if you play them note for note or adapt them to your/Dave's liking? Lastly, out of all past Megadeth's drummers( besides yourself, because you and I know you kick major ass!) who is your favorite?? RIP GAR!!
Joe Silverstein
Hi Joe and thanks for your question. Since I have listened to Megadeth since 1985, it was not too difficult to adapt and execute the previous drummers style, though Playing Gar's stuff is a little more tricky for me, I must say, and on that note, Gar is my fav Megadeth drummer, to answer your last question. :-)
be well,
Shawn - 03/24/2010
I don't really have much of a question just something i really feel i need to get out there. Simple put i consider A Tout Le Monde one of the songs that saved my life. I know you probably hear this story every fuckin' day, and I know that this song really has nothing to do with my story, but i have struggled with depression my whole life and contemplating suicide for a good portion of that time. Most of my depression came from what i call "abandonment issues" with my father leaving at a young age as well as a lacking in the "love department (haha). I spent a lot of time finding comfort in music of all kinds but this song specifically stands out in my mind. I ultimately found my calling and have come to peace with my life pretty, and i credit all of my new found outlook on life to one line of one song... "Moving on is a simple thing, What it leaves behind is hard." Now im sure this message probably wont even get read but i feel a certain sence of liberation doing this. Soooo i guess what this is all about is my deepest thanks to Megadeth and Dave specifically for helping out some lonely kid in the midwest!
Hi Nick, thanks for sharing your story. A Tout Le Monde is definitely an inspirational song and we're glad you wrote and that you've found some peace.

got a quick question, there's a lot of frauds on facebook where people claim to be someone they're not, does Dave have a facebook or have I been taken?
also, if you could pass a message onto Dave, just want to say thanks for the inspiration to get and remain clean. 13 years no drugs
Hi Jon, Dave Mustaine does not have a personal facebook page. The official page for Dave/Megadeth is www.facebook.com/megadeth. You have been taken and we do appreciate anyone to report fraudulent pages.
I will pass your message onto Dave. He will be happy to hear!

Hey Scorpion,
Over the years dave has had a few guitars with both Jackson and ESP. Now that Dave's doubleneck from Dean has been release, I was curious if he was ever had the intention of playing it LIVE as with the other Doublenecks.
I asked Dave about playing the Dean doubleneck and this is what he had to say:
"I might have, I dont remember. I have played it before, but I am not sure. I do know that I used the Jackson and ESP double necks and the Dean is the cleanest made guitar of them all."
In a recent Scorpion column, Dave added this in regards to the great doublenecks:
"The obvious answer is that it weighs a lot and hurts my shoulder to wear the guitar. I am currently working as hard as I can to strengthen my shoulders and back, and I hope to be able to wear any of my guitars without incident, let alone the mighty flying W."

hi, i was wondering if sometime in the future there will be a left handed version of the VMNT.
thanks alot, Jackrattlehead.
Hi Jack, I asked Dave Mustaine about this and he had this to say:
"A left-handed VMNT would be no problem. It just takes a little time to make and I think it would be really cool to have a lefty. This would no doubt have to come through our custom shop."
Might be a plan to shoot Dean an e-mail over at deanguitars.com. Let them know that you are after one! ;)

DearesT ScorpioN,
I was wondering about Dialectic Chaos off the new ENDGAME album....
was it planned to do an instrumental, was it like like, lets just let chris destroy and wreak havoc on this one, i'm sure dave has the hampster in his head running overtime on the wheel as of late.
Both Dave and Chris are amazingly talented and experienced guitarists ..can we get the low down on ideas for dialectic chaos and is there any other instrumental songs and can we expect more?
always faithfully your droog,
Barry "yeagermeister" Yeager
Philadelphia, Pa____________________
Hi Barry, the first track "Dialectic Chaos" from Megadeth's new album "Endgame" was intended to be an instrumental from the get-go. Both Dave and Chris solo on that song, so it is not just Chris destroying, unless you are suggesting Dave is not destroying too? ;)
There have been other instrumentals. "Into The Lungs Of Hell" from "SFSGSW", the bonus track "Absolution" from "Youthansia", the bonus track "Duke Nukem Theme" from the Japanese release of "Risk" (also on the "Duke Nukem: Music To Score By" soundtrack), and no word yet on what is planned for the future, but I'm sure Dave and Chris are cooking up some kick-ass guitar solos for the next Megadeth album!

Hi Scorpion.
Dave has been a musician for more than 25 years now and I know he has grown much as a person as well as a musician. How does he look back on some of the old lyrics and songs he has written? Are there lyrics that he does not agree with anymore, or is it all still relavent in some way to him?
Thanks in advance
God bless.____________________
Hi there, I put your questions over to the man himself and he had this to say about it...
"The only thing that I question now is the lyrics about the occult. I know that the Conjuring has a spell in it, and even though I jumbled the lines, and left some stuff out, I know that the darkside is relishing me talking about or repeating the hex."

I was just wondering if you guys would ever consider doing a whole guitar hero game based on your band. It would definately be the greatest addition yet, without question.
TravisWill Megadeth ever be on a Guitar Hero game? I dont mean have a song or two like Guitar Hero 2, but have their own game like a couple of other bands. I am a huge Megadeth fan and would just enjoy the hell out of a Megadeth Guitar hero game.
The Guitar Hero question is a very popular one for the Scorpion. I sent it to Dave and he had a lot to say about it. Enjoy!!
"I have recently had two very important high-level meetings with the people from Activision and Neversoft, and we are talking about a lot of things, but a Guitar Hero box set is not as attractive to me and the people from Guitar Hero as the new idea that they offered me, as the creative stuff that we are talking about is over-the-moon! I just hope that someone doesnt stand in the way of this happening. I know that there are a lot of really damaging results from our mothership (WEA) having some legal disputes with YouTube and Guitar Hero to name just a few."

Ok, I'm a huge megafan, I got introduced into megadeth back when I was around 7 or 8, now being 17, I have covered a few megadeth songs (me taking up lead on my jackson randy rhodes model) and I just got the warchest and I realized the duke nukem theme song was on there, also being a huge gamer I played it constanly to doom, I was wondering if dave played(s) games when he has time still?
1000 times thanks
Hi Ace, I sent your question to Dave, and here's what he had to say about games:
"I am not a gamer, but I do like to play a little bit. I guess you have to grow up with the controller to understand how to use all of the combos patterns. I once bought the game "the Punisher" 18 years ago, and I was so overwhelmingly out of control, and I knew it because I had never played and the next thing you know, all I could think about is how do you beat this game. I finally beat it, but it was after a long few days of neglecting my wife, and being really glaringly addicted to the game."

I would like to ask the band what is the meaning behind the song "The Hardest Part Of Letting Go... Sealed With A Kiss." I find this song to be incredibly interesting both instrumentally as well as lyrically. I think it seems to follow along the lines of "Promises", but the latter shows little or no frustration. Thanks!
Hi Alex,
I passed your question along to Dave, and he spoke about the inspiration behind the song and it's lyrical similarity to "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due." Dave explains:
"This was a song that Pam asked me to write for her, but she isn't too happy about the lyrics of "SWAK". I told her that the second half was not about her, much like "HW TPD" and the second half of the song being a different song that is connected with a segue. I told her that I had already written a few songs about her, but that since she doesn't like my band, she doesn't know which songs they are. I really love how this song turned out."

Hey there.
I was on Marty Friedman's website a few years ago, and I remembered reading something about Dawn Patrol having a guitar track, which was removed before the album was released. After looking it up again, he describes it as "a heavy, dissonant guitar riff that was so strange [he] couldn't believe [Megadeth was] planning to record it." I just want to know, has this guitar riff been used in another Megadeth song that was released?
Hi Aassem, I asked Dave about a guitar part for "Dawn Patrol," here's his reply:
"I have no idea what you are talking about. There was never a guitar riff here. Junior wrote that bass riff, and there was no guitar part. Besides, I thought Megadeth music was so infantile and so predictable for Marty, I am surprised that he remembers anything."

I was listening to I know Jack when I got The System Has Failed.
I was listening to it and I was amazed by the guitar riff. I expected Dave to start singing, but instead it ended...
A ton of my friends (including the non-Megadeth fans) seemed to be disappointed. Is there a specific reason why it ended all of a sudden?
And do you think you can ever reuse that riff for another song?
This week's Scorpion is part one of three about Megadeth songs. Stay tuned for more questions about "Dawn Patrol" and "The Hardest Part Of Letting Go...Sealed With A Kiss."
I passed your question along to Dave, here's what he had to say about "I Know Jack":
"It ended because the song was over. I have no plans to regurgitate riffs under new names. I was already embarrassed enough when I was told that the record company was changing the title of A Tout Le Monde to Set Me Free, so no, there is no intention of re-recording that."

Hey i just wanted to know why dave stoped useing a double v gutair on the song trust. I was watching him play it on the woodstock show and it was amazeing thanks nick.
Hi Nick,
I think we all miss seeing the doubleneck guitar make it's appearance during Trust. I asked Dave about it, and fortunately he misses it too! Here's what he had to say:
"The obvious answer is that it weighs a lot and hurts my shoulder to wear the guitar. I am currently working as hard as I can to strengthen my shoulders and back, and I hope to be able to wear any of my guitars without incident, let alone the mighty flying W."

Hi there Scorp,
My name is Shawn, and I have always wondered ever since the first time I saw it, who is in jail in the No More Mr. Nice Guy video? To me it looks like David Ellefson, Nick Menza, and maybe even Jeff Young? I have heard that the song was only recorded with three members, so just wondering who else could be in the jail.
Hi Shawn, thanks for the question. This one has been floating around unanswered in cyberspace for years now, so I asked Dave about it, and he cleared it up once and for all.
The answer from Dave:
"The Director asked our long-haired manager at the time, Ron Laffitte, to do it."You might remember Ron from his interview in the Behind The Music DVD, minus the long hair. No More Mr. Nice Guy director Penelope Spheeris is interviewed as well.

Hey, ScorpioN,
I was just wondering. I saw in a very early interview, around the "So Far " era that said Dave liked to listen to Mercyful Fate. I know that Dave recently became a born again Christian like myself, and I was wondering, because there is a heavy amount of Satanism in their lyrics, does he still listen to Mercyful Fate?
Hi Drake,
Dave replied to your question, "I really love the music of Mercyful Fate, I just don't like the lyrics." He also mentioned possibly adding them to the Megadeth Radio (http://www.megadeth.com/megadethradio/) playlist. "I am trying really hard to get through all of the other great bands before having to review controversial bands. I will get around to it."
You can request Mercyful Fate by emailing email@example.com or calling (866) 686-1010. Dave has complete control over the music selection, and has been reviewing band's catalogs and adding new artists every week.

Dear Scorpion,
I remember reading something awhile back about unreleased footage of
the recording of Rust In Peace. If so what happened to it? hope you
can answer me back. Tyler____________________
Hey Tyler,
I asked Dave about this, here is his response:
"There was footage, but there is no indication of what it is and I am
too busy trying to promote ENDGAME right now, so I will have to just
add this to the list of stuff to do."So there you have it, Rust In Peace footage is on Dave's to-do list.
Thanks for the question!

This week we have a double entry Scorpion. Enjoy!
Hey Scorpion,
What ever happened to Dave's BC Rich Bich?
Dear scorpion,
As a guitarist I´m intersted of course in guitars. Does Dave still ownes the BC Rich he played in Metallica?Best regards,
Leon from Germany____________________
Unfortunately, the whereabouts of both guitars are currently unknown. I recently asked Dave about them and here is his reply:
"Both of these guitars, as well as all of the B.C. Richs were sold or stolen by the heroin addicts in the band at the time. I was really disappointed in my Rich Bich getting stolen, but that was the flip side of having Poland and Gar in the band."
The two guitars can be seen in the Gallery at Megadeth.com, under the Killing Is My Business and Peace Sells eras. Also check out the Arsenal of Megadeth and Megadeth: Behind The Music DVD's for more footage of the Rich Bich.

Hello, I've recently started a vinyl record collection (of which, Peace Sells, Rust In Peace, Youthanasia, and United Abominations are a part of) and I just picked up Endgame (which is pretty killer, I add) and I was wondering if there are any plans for a vinyl release? Also, are there plans for more copies of Countdown to Extinction to be pressed, or is my only hope to keep scouring local record shops?
Endgame is being released on vinyl in the UK and Europe in early November. You can pre-order the album now from Amazon Germany. Countdown To Extinction was last released in 2007 as a remastered double LP by Mobile Fidelity and is still available for purchase on Amazon.com.

I would like to ask Dave what his relationship with Slash of Guns N Roses/Velvet Revolver is. cause I heard they were good friends and all. and Slash and Dave Being My favorite Guitarist in the world and My freaking Idols.
I would like to know what Dave thinks of Slash
Hi Curtis,
Dave recently responded to a tweet by Slash "new Megadeth (album) sounds killer":"Slash and I have been friends for a really long time. I have played in concert with his band, and jammed with him in a cover band once.
We use to hang and party, true, but I dug Slash the most for his amazing talent on guitar.
I am honored he said that he likes it." - 10/12/2009
Hey there Scorpion,
Just a quick question re. the guitar Dave played on Jimmy Fallon.
I was looking for it on Dean's website and couldn't find it. Is this a specific model for Dave that won't be for sale, or what's the thing behind this new model?Cheers,
Renato from Portugal____________________
Hi Renato,
Here's what Dave had to say about the guitar:
"At the NAMM show thats coming up at the beginning of next year theyre going to be debuting a brand-new Dean guitar for me. Its called the Zero and I cant really tell you much more than that other than its going to be a workhorse and the people who have seen it already over at Dean, theyve been there for years and theyve seen everything under the sun, that kinda stuff is exciting. Especially when its opening up another area of creativity with the company."
A new photo of Dave playing the guitar is posted in the photo section of TheLiveLine.com.

hey, Scorp
A while Back Dave Mustaine said he no longer wants to tour with satanic bands, and i thought that was SOOO Cool. The weird thing is that ive noticed hes been touring with slayer alot and correct me if im wrong but slayer IS satanic. So now I am confused
Please help me
Jeremy Simpson
Hi Jeremy,
Dave addressed touring with Slayer recently in a post on the Megadeth Forums:
"...As I continue to walk out this life, and being a Christian, I have realized so much, and I have grown so much too. In the beginning, I was very cautious, and as I understand more, I am safely adding back into my life all the things that I set aside, because I just didn't know what to do about it.
This is why I am spiritually at peace with being out with Slayer; this is why I have apologized to them and have not been getting baited by journalists that are bringing up, "he said, you said," crap. I also have forgiven them for anything that was or is being said, because I did say some hurtful things in the past.
I have taken this same new attitude into everything I can with my life. I have learned so much over the last seven years that it is mind-boggling. And this is why, and the only reason why, I have changed my mind. My heart told me that I would be doing myself a favor and I would make a lot of people happier if I focused on the "love" part of my new life."

Hey I recently purchased a vintage Megadeth Tshirt from a guy online who assured me it was from 1993. At the bottom of the artwork on the front of the shirt it even says "93' Repka" which suggests the shirt was made in 1993 as promised and also designed by Ed Repka but on the back of the tshirt is something bizarre, it says the words "DR VIC IS IN" which makes no sense to me what so ever. I was wondering if you can find out if this is a fake tshirt, a mistake or generally tell me what it means.
Here is some photos I uploaded of the tshirt:
FRONT OF TSHIRT: http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6280/s5030204.jpg
BACK OF TSHIRT: http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/9395/s5030205.jpg
(My Friends keep saying it must be fake and it's making me feel abit uncomfortable because I really wanted a retro Megadeth tshirt)
The "Dr. Vic Is In" t-shirt was sold back in 1993, while Ed Repka was still doing artwork for Megadeth. "Dr. Vic Is In" would be the title of the picture (a take on an old American medical symbol, the Caduceus), as all of Repka's old artwork for Megadeth had titles, e.g. "Peace Sells", "Oxidation Of The Nations", "Hangar 18", etc.
Lately there have been bootleg reproductions of old Megadeth shirts sold online and in shops, so to tell if yours is official, check the tag for the Brockum merchandise label. Other clues would be size and coloring- many of the reproduction shirts have very contrasted colors, and the sizing is smaller. A size large shirt made in 1993 would be a lot bigger than a size large made in the last few years, since the style of t-shirts runs more fitted these days. Hope this helps!

Dear Scorpion, I've gotta simple question: will be any books about history of Megadeth and/or about Dave Mustaine? I would like to read it.
Here is the latest from Dave on his autobiography, which is completed and set for release next year:
"I finished approving my autobiography, and that was a labor of love. I got to the last page and I was so amazed as I was nearing the end, that by the time I got to the last page I started to have this amazing sense of completion. I felt like someone had finally gotten me into print, good and bad, with a sprinkling more of bad just for good measure. And by the time I got to the last two words of the book, I started to have an overwhelming wave of emotions; finally I feel like someone has looked into me; what makes me tick; why I am upset about the things that upset me; what makes me happy; why I have upsetting things in my life that I can't seem to shake; how I can continue to come back from the dead, etc., etc., etc..."
Other recent books featuring Dave and Megadeth include Metallica: Club Dayz 1982-1984 by Bill Hale, who is currently working on a photo book documenting Megadeth's early years, titled Megadeth: Another Time, A Different Place. Dave is listed at number one in Joel McIver's The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists, and a revised issue of Metallica: The Stories Behind the Biggest Songs, was released this month.

Hey, just a quick question. I was wondering what the meaning was of the song "Lucretia." I know the story of the Roman girl Lucretia, but the lyrics of this song seem to be about a ghost or a haunted house of some kind. Any clarification? Thanks in advance!
Here's a quick explanation from Dave in 1990:
"It's about this guy who happens to be named Dave, and he just has problems, and his friends all think he's crazy and he goes to see this fortune teller. She talks about how he feels, where he's going, how he gets there, and the fact that she knew he was coming and she's been waiting for him for a long time."

Dear Scorpion,
Dave is undeniably one of the greatest metal players out there, I was wondering if he was entirely self taught in the early days and what he would consider his influences to be? Finally, how did he develop such speed?
LewisHi Lewis,
Here's a very cool interview segment with Dave from 1991 where he talks about early/current influences and learning to play. Enjoy!(Dave) started playing the guitar at age 15. Why?
"Because tuning a guitar is way easier than tuning a piano! Actually, it was down to the husband of one of my three sisters. When she first met him he was in a rock band that covered songs by Kiss, Mott The Hoople, The Stones and stuff like that, and after listening to him twang away and hearing all the power of an amplified guitar, I thought 'Wow, this is a cool idea!'"
So, picking up the acoustic guitar his mother had bought him, Dave set about teaching himself to play - with a few helpful hints from his brother-in-law to be. He wanted to be in a band as soon as possible, and that's exactly what happened...
"Me joining my first band still cracks me up! Believe it or not, it happened about a month after I started playing! I was real stiff when it came to single note stuff but I could do barre chords real good. I also had an ear for music because one of my sisters used to plunk around on the piano, and all three of 'em used to listen to Motown and stuff like that. Even though dance music is not my thing, there's a lot of melody there and I was always picking them out. I can't say that if someone just hits a key on a piano I'll be able to 'name that tune', but my exposure to stuff by Marvin Gaye, The Supremes and Al Green definitely helped develop my musical ear."
Being well and truly hooked on the instrument, it wasn't long before Dave moved on to an electric guitar, a Gibson SG.
"The acoustic my mom gave me got broken. My second sister smashed it over my back after I got her into a bunch of trouble! So when I was 16 I got the SG. Then about a year after that, I trashed the SG and started playing a Les Paul. When I first got an electric, pretty much any noise I made on it sounded good to me. Then I started to realize how shitty what I was doing actually did sound, and that's when I got into trying to teach myself something different."
Dave's initial influences were "early Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, and the stuff Mick Ronson did when David Bowie was really happening. I also liked some Mott The Hoople stuff - not all of it, but some of their material was cool. Later on I got into Deep Purple, Montrose and stuff like that. The rock music that was really strong towards the end of the 70's was basically what I listened to. I really liked Kiss back then - Ace Frehley I thought was God-like in the beginning. I also liked what Michael Schenker played, up until he burnt himself out."
Mustaine also drew inspiration from an unlikely source - in view of what Megadeth's own music is like - in Paul McCartney.
"I don't understand him because he's capable of coming up with really great stuff, such as Like A Wheel - Let Me Roll It To You. As soon as I heard that song I had to learn it. Then, the next thing you know, he's doing rubbish with Michael Jackson."
I wonder what Mustaine listens to nowadays...Yngwie Malmsteen maybe?
"Which Yngwie? There are so many of him out there you can't tell them apart. No, I don't really listen to him. I liked what Randy Rhoads did, a lot. I was really into the Blizzard when they first came out. I like listening to music that makes you want to hang out with friends and have a good time - like Fear for example. I'm not into John McLaughlin and crap like that...I mean, I can appreciate it, but I don't really like it. I prefer stuff that's more Motorhead-ish and energetic. I really liked Diamond Head a lot."

I was wondering if Dave ever used an ESP Axxion live? I've looked for videos and pictures but never found anything.Thanks from Sweden, Viktor
Hi Viktor,
Dave has never played his Axxion live. Glen Drover played one during Gigantour 2006, check out the gallery at Megadeth.com for pics.http://www.megadeth.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=1100

Dear ScorpioN,
I have been trying to figure this out for a long time. I really would like to know the type of Jackson guitar that Dave Mustaine uses in the music video for trust. Thanks.
Hi there, Dave used a Jackson Custom Firebird (color "oxblood") in the video for "Trust". There were only four made by Jackson's custom shop. Dave's was serial number: J6322. He auctioned it off with several other of his Jacksons here at Megadeth.com in December 2003.

Just the mere mention of the Pediatric ICU (PICU) can be frightening to both kids and parents. But having a basic understanding of what people and equipment can be found in the PICU can help to lessen the anxiety.
What is the PICU?
The PICU at Swedish is a section of the hospital that provides the highest level of medical care for your child (0 to 18 years). The PICU is different than just the regular pediatric floor because it allows for more intensive nursing care of your child and advanced continuous monitoring of their blood pressure, heart rate, breathing and more. Patients in the PICU may also require more intensive therapies such as ventilators (a breathing machine) and certain medications that require close monitoring.
Who is hospitalized in the PICU?
Kids who are seriously ill whose medical needs cannot be met on the regular Pediatric unit will be in the PICU. PICU patients may have breathing problems such as asthma or pneumonia, have had a lengthy surgery, have seizures or any other physical condition. Time spent in the PICU depends on....

High tide waters of Elliott Bay almost reached to 1st Avenue in the vicinity of Madison, Marion and Columbia Streets, and the area between Yesler Way and Main Street from Occidental Avenue almost to 5+>h Avenue was a swamp* A high ridge obstructed eastward growth, and a huge hill known as the Stewart Hump, or Denny Hill, prevented growth to the north* In the early days the business district of Seattle was confined to 1st and 2nd Avenues between Cherry and Jackson Streets, In'188? work was begun on a large hotel near the top of Denny Hill at what would now be 3rd Avenue and Stewart Street* First known as Denny Hotel and later as the Washington Hotel, it commanded a wide panoramic view of the city and harbor and was a favorite stopping place for the many newcomers to the city after gold was discovered in Alaska in 1897• Patrons were carried up the steep slope of 3rd Avenue by an inclined street railway* By 1897, the year of discovery of gold, Madison Street was the northern limit of the business district* The booming business created by the gold rush swelled the demand for commercial building sites in Seattle. By 1903, Pike Street was the northern boundary of the business district and northward growth was pushing against Denny Hill* During the ten years between 1900 and 1910 the population of the City rocketed from 80,000 to 237,000* The pressures of this sudden expansion resulted in a series of 60 projects, known as the regrades, extending over k0 years* The earth from the hills was washed into the tideland areas* making level lots of hilly ones and reclaiming the mud flats for commercial uses* The first regrades consisted of cutting the tops off the hills and dumping the earth into the low areas and onto the beach to form what are now Western Avenue and Alaskan Way. The first big project was the regrade of Jackson Hill, begun in 1907 and finished in 1910* The deepest cut was 85 feet* The earth was used to fill in the tide flats south of King Street to the foot of Beacon Hill, and 1,810,656 cubic yards of earth were removed* Soon afterward Dearborn Street was re graded, opening up access to Ftainier Valley. Over a million cubic yards were moved to fill tidelands and make them suitable for building sites* A series of regrades on Pike, Pine, and Olive Streets opened up access to the upper business district from the eastern section of the city, and in 1907 Westlake Avenue was graded through, accelerating northward growth. The biggest regrade of all was the Denny Hill Regrade* This hill - covered 62 city blocks, was 2^0 feet high and 107 feet above the highest point in the business district. Shortly after the gold rush, 1st Avenue was cut through from Pike to Cedar Street* In 1909-1911 the half of the hill nearest the harbor, an area of about 27 city blocks, between Pine and Cedar Streets from 2nd Avenue to 5th Avenue, was washed into Elliott Bay* Using placer mining methods, terrific jets of water sluiced the earth and boulders from the hillside, carrying it through tunnels and flumes out into the bay* Twenty million gallons of water a day was pumped from Lake Union in this project. Later Denny Hill Regrade No. 2, started in February, 1929, removed the rest of the hill. In this latter project the earth was dug up with power shovels and dumped onto conveyor belts which carried the earth to the Sound, where it was dumped onto scows and towed out into deep water* In Seattle1 s 60 face lifting projects an estimated 50 million tons of earth were moved into the low areas, tide flats and Elliott Bay* &< I**"" City'Eifgineering Department November 20, 1951 am
