Law is the cornerstone of our political, social, and economic systems, and a grounding in law is essential in a broad variety of professional areas. All organizations — from multinational corporations and federal agencies to small businesses and local nonprofits — operate in a complex and dynamic legal environment. Effective navigation of the changing legal terrain is crucial to organizational success. Understanding the legal environment is a clear advantage to college graduates seeking jobs and careers in a variety of industries and professional fields.
The legal studies degree program at Nazareth College is designed for students whose graduate study and career prospects will be enhanced by the knowledge of law, as well as the skills of logical analysis, effective communication, and ethical reasoning.
The major introduces students to our judicial system, fundamental concepts of law, and major areas of legal practice. It also develops those skills of analysis and communication that are essential in all areas of professional work. Students are encouraged to connect their learning with their career goals by choosing elective courses from one of five tracks designed to complement diverse graduate study plans and professional aspirations.
To help students interested in pursuing a law degree or a career in law, Nazareth is partnering with Syracuse University College of Law to provide talented students with an expedited and discounted opportunity.
The partnership is available to legal studies and political science students. Additional eligible majors may be added by May 2015.

July 22nd, 2010
Mother Jones human rights reporter Mac McClelland has been on the Gulf Coast since the early days of the Gulf oil disaster, and she's documented every last drop of it, it seems, from the Gulf's coastal communities, particularly from Grand Isle. Her most recent entry for Mother Jones is filled with oil wrestling, bar fights, […]

Some countries sit on billion dollar oil fields, yet the people are strugling to get clean drinking water and food. Stupidity is everywhere, including at Epic.
Because of the sunk costs on UT3 and GoW-PC. They missed the mark on both titles and while they're recouping the costs on the engine licenses, it's not the same thing as the cash injections that would have come from the other titles. They've got to cover the expenses on the new titles they're working on- and paying some of the debts on the previous two or so engines and on UT3, it'd be good money after bad at this point for them.
Does it matter? Not really, UT3 was one of the biggest flops of the last 15 years of FPS gaming.
No one really plays it anymore, you will get better games in ET, ETQW or even the old UT games. Hell the best pc fps game to play online (RTCW) STILL has more players even now after 10 years of relative obscurity than UT3 does.
What you all seem to fail to reflect on is the decline of PC itself as a gaming platform. Sure releases of big name games for linux are getting thin on the ground (even more so lol) but then again its all downhill on Windows too. Console is the way to go now, PC started dying after Doom3/Quake 4/ETQW came out.
For example the only system you can play MAG on is PS3, MW2 there is absolutely no point playing on a pc because it doesnt support the console or user created maps/mods; which were always the 2 main advantages to playing games on a pc, disregarding graphics as to me graphics < gameplay all the way. Also, that said, the difference between pc and console graphics has failed to grow to the same glaring gap as it did in previous generations.
Final point: can you even blame developers when they know Linux users will be getting inferior performance due to the poor graphics driver support by ATI and Intel? (games run noticably faster on windows than linux on this laptop :'( unlike my old Athlon XP 3200+ with Geforce 6600gt where the opposite was true)
But hey, who cares. UT went steadily worse from each release. The Assault mode was always the best too.

Akshar Day, an initiative to collect waste paper from around the city concluded recently
Emphasising the need for everyone to do his or her bit is a student initiative Project Akshar, which provides educational tools like notebooks, stationery and uniforms to school students from the underprivileged sections of the society.
Recently an initiative undertaken by Project Akshar saved 5,44,037 litres of water, 547 trees and 29,479 litres of oil in the span of two years. To commemorate two years of its completion and celebrate the Earth Hour, the Akshar day was organised in the city recently. It was a combined initiative by students of Enactus S.S.C.B.S. and volunteers from different colleges of Delhi University. For this, old newspapers, magazines or any other waste paper collecting drive was organized throughout Delhi-NCR. This event saw a massive collection of 15670 kgs of paper. It covered 25 RWAs within Delhi-NCR.
Interestingly the amount of paper collected through the day was also acknowledged by The Limca Book of Records.
"For us newspapers and magazines are a waste after reading them. If they can be put into use and at the same time we can be part of a cause like Akshar Day, then we have no complaints," said a resident of MK residency.
The collected paper would now be recycled and reused to develop environment friendly notebooks. These will be made by the financially backward, hearing impaired community and physically challenged individuals. It will also turn out to be a source of income for them. For every three notebooks sold, one is sent to a child in need. Two NGOs to collaborate with this initiative are Prabhat and Sahara.
"The organisation has also tied up with different schools and colleges for unused exam papers. Akshar Day is a momentous event and we are proud to be part of it. After all, when the last tree will be cut down and the last river poisoned, money will have no role to play," commented Suhasini Bakliwal, a member of the organisation.
Project Akshar is a social outreach project by Enactus, that focuses on using oft-wasted resources to empower people in need. Enactus, formerly known as Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) was started in the year 2009 and is an international non-profit organisation. It works with business leaders and university students across the globe to develop outreach projects. It also aims at improving the quality of life for people in need.

I'm assuming Aaron knew this, but I find it neat to learn that Joe Mauer's older brother Jake, a former twins farmhand himself, is a manager in the Twins' organization. And an up-and-coming one to boot. He was named Manager of the Year in the Gulf Coast League this season and was just promoted to the Florida State League to take over the Class-A Fort Meyers team.
At 31, he's obviously a managerial prospect with a future. Maybe even a Major League future, especially if his brother re-signs with the big club.
- Church of the Perpetually Outraged - Oct 22, 2009 at 11:01 AM
Knowing absolutely nothing about the inner workings of the Twins organization, I wonder if promoting him (Jake) could be a cheap ploy to try and keep Joe around? Something akin to the Astros drafting clemens's son?
- Dr. Yogi - Oct 22, 2009 at 5:14 PM
Not all CPO. I'd imagine the Manager of Year award was not given to Jake by the Twins, but by some independent group (the league? sportswriters? who knows..) so it wasn't like some internal organization award.
Their father is a high school coach. He invented this: http://www.mauersquickswing.com/baseball.asp?section=News&topic=news-and-events and they run this very successful baseball school: http://www.mauersbaseball.com/

Quickie Tipster: Making Doubles
2 19 Share TweetDoing multiple exposures is fun! Blending 2 images together to come up with a creative photo is easy if you have the 'MX' option. How about with other film cameras? Here is a quickie tipster to help you.
Multiple exposure means shooting 2 or more pictures on the same frame, so it will result in a collage. Many, if not all, Lomography cameras have this option built-in, but what happens when you don't have one?
Shoot the first frame. Wind it to prepare for your next shot. Rewind back about a frame. This is tricky but you must learn the rotation of the rewind button. Just experiment a little bit and you'll get the hang of it quickly. If you don't get it right, don't worry. Nobody's perfect. Shoot the second exposure.

Not since the NBA refused to allow Shawn Bradley to wear "My Buddy" over his shoulders has a player been so visibly distraught.
The last time Belichick kinda smiled when addressing the media was back in 2008 when he showed up to the podium using these remarkable fake cans as a neck pillow.
And off in the distance, the always devious Paul Bearer can be heard bellowing, "Babe Laufenberg is ... ALIVE!!"
All in all, this is a pleasant breath of fresh air when compared to Marc's deranged brother Pau, who frequently appears as though his feet are being gnawed on by a flock of mini Stan Van Gundy's.
As if the unwarranted ball-grab weren't enough, the sheer joy on T.D.'s face makes it all the more inappropriate. If the Dolphins don't change his name to Arnold Friedman by 5pm today, we'll be filing an official complaint with the league office.
... Eaten a vegetable

Major bonus points to the spunky blonde for hanging onto the Miller Lite and ensuring there was no "spillage." Unfortunately, we're gonna have to take away 5,109,683 points for that hideous East Carolina-NC State GameDay shirt.
On the next visit to Jerry's World, probably best for blondie to attend wearing just the 101 Dalmatians bra.

Untouchables Still Turning to Buddhism
The Dalai Lama and others have spread the message that religions should no longer compete for "market share" and Buddhism is not generally thought of a missionary religion, but it's still picking up converts. In Nagpur, India on October 14, the 50th anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's conversion to Buddhism, more than 9000 untouchables or dalits—this according to Catholic News, though actual numbers seem to vary significantly in different accounts—followed his lead and converted as well.
Ambedkar, considered the chief architect of India's constitution, was born into the Mahar caste, said to be descended from Dravidians who resisted the Aryan invasions and were therefore at the bottom of the caste system. He converted to Buddhism alongside more than 100,000 other untouchables in 1956. (Wikipedia says 380,000.) The incentive to convert and escape the caste system is powerful as the notion of "untouchability," officially abolished, is still in force, particularly in rural areas. Untouchables work the lowest jobs and suffer routine discrimination, reportedly even being barred from temples on occasion.
Violence against dalits has caused many to relocate to the more egalitarian cities in search of better work and equal status. Conservatives in India are taking note of the conversions. The Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) government in Gujarat (Gandhi's home state) classified Buddhism and Jainism as branches of Hinduism, essentially denying them equal rights as religions. A Hindu nationalist said, "Dalits should concentrate on illiteracy and poverty rather than looking for new religions." Maybe so, or maybe the government should concentrate on illiteracy and poverty and not worry about religion.
Read Vishvapani's blog for more on this. He's got a media coverage wrap-up for the events of the 14th of October, and will be covering Ambedkar 2006 for Tricycle.

Ethan K. Jackson and Wolfram Schulte
Data-centric business applications comprise an important class of distributed systems that includes on-line stores, document management systems, and patient portals. However, their complexity makes it difficult to design and implement them. We address these issues from a model-driven perspective by developing a formal, compositional, and domain-specific set of abstractions for the specification and analysis of data-centric business applications. Our technique allows us to formally analyze the specified system at design time; in particular we can analyze whether the system is resilient to abnormal conditions, i.e. that key system invariants can always be re-established.

Two years. . . . if you're looking for a remembrance of the day, you can start with my column written two days later, and Jeff Jarvis' account, and then you can head on over to Michele Catalano's Voices project for more individual narratives.
Two years . . . the good news is, I'm still here, and so are you -- and so are more Americans than we'd dreamed. The visible parts of the war on terror have been a success: no major attacks in the U.S. (the biggest ones being freelance operations like the DC snipers and the LA airport shooter), and really only one large-scale attack (in Bali) outside of what we would think of as 'hotspots' like Israel, Iraq and the Chechen war with Russia. (The hotspots are part of the war too, but they are more expected forms of trouble). Two regimes toppled that were part of the problem, and major efforts underway to remake those countries in a more positive direction. Numerous bad guys killed or captured, including several who are believed to be key figures.
There is yet more to be done, and there are ways in which the hidden part of the war -- the plots against us, the movement of dangerous weapons -- could be going badly and we might not know it for years. But there's more time to plan and to celebrate victory. Today, just remembering where we were, and being thankful for where we have not yet gone, is enough.

building a slot ported enclosure
I'm really at a dead end here, really with no place ot begin. i have my materials and whatnot i need a basic layout of hwo ot build a slot-ported enclosure for one 12" 450 watt lanzar se12. i have a sealed box currently with a shade over 1.0 ft3 and its performing nicely, but i recently upgraded to a 1500w amplifier and well i need to share that power with somethign so as not to make the pretty smoke emanate from my nice little box. if anyone could help i would go nuts with joy. i would like to tune this box to around 40 or 50 hz and i just need to know how long and tall the port area should be, without losing all my hatch space. pleeeeeaaaaseee! help me!

Just turn down your amp....
I mean, good heavens... 1500 watts would be enough to absolutely level your car... you almost certainly don't need more than 100 unless you're going to be breaking eardrums from across the street... |

You have power to wast here. You could consider a isobarik enclosure wich practicaly disminish the size requirement by a factor of 2. In a car a half sized box is always fun.

Well, if you are worried about power, the sealed box will be better at handling it than the ported one, as long as the speaker is designed for sealed use. You can design the ported box according to the manufacturer's specs with any software program around, but the fun part comes after you get the specs for the port. all you have to do is alter the shape of the post from round to rectangular, using basic math to calculate the total volume of the port to ensure proper box tuning. Cheers!

The Brilliant Hotel
Just about lives up to its name
What we say:
Maybe they could have been a bit more creative with the name but Brilliant just about sums up this upscale hotel. Rooms verge on the boutique, with big comfortable linen-dressed beds, polished and rug-strewn or carpeted flooring, floor to ceiling windows, cable TV, coffee- and tea-making equipment, fluffy bathrobes and five-star bathrooms. From deluxe up the bathrooms come with glass-partitioned bathtubs. Staff are standout professional and facilities include a pool, spa, piano bar and restaurant. The location is spot on too, right in the middle of the busiest riverside strip and just around the corner from Han market.

Use a Blog to Share Your Local Knowledge
Competition is fierce in many vacation rental locations, and potential guests can find it tough to distinguish between properties. This is where building a personal connection can make a real difference and where sharing significant local knowledge can boost interest. Creating a blog and posting regularly on topics that appeal to vacationers can help to drive traffic to your listing and boost the potential for bookings. You can even add a link to your blog on your VacationHomeRentals.com listing.Why blog?
People want local information before they get to their vacation destination so they can plan their holiday. They don't want to waste valuable time researching restaurants, or places to take the children in bad weather so if you can provide a comprehensive resource for them, it will become a go-to place for their vacation planning. Your listing should appeal to their accommodation needs, but lookers want more and if you can create a connection with them by delivering the information they need, they are more likely to book with you.
What should I write about?
New bloggers often ask this question. They think they have little to offer and won't be able to write anything of interest to readers. In fact, any information is better than none at all, and if you know your area well, you're a source your guests will want. Make a list of all the things you know about your area or region such as hiking and biking trails, dog parks, best beaches, craft stores and antique malls, outlets, upcoming events, as well as general tips on how to enjoy the area. Download the blog idea sheet and get brainstorming!
How often should I post?
There are no hard and fast rules on this but a good rule of thumb is to post regularly and at least once a week. In an area where there is lots to do and see, you could probably increase this to twice or three times weekly. The key is to have a post schedule – a plan on what you are going to write each month with titles to spark your creativity. Aim for a variety of topics each month, so you could plan on a couple of restaurant reviews, two or three articles on local attractions, a weekly list of upcoming events etc. Writing regularly will bring a loyal following and drive traffic to your listing.
How much do I write?
This is the best bit. People who read a lot of blog posts usually have limited time and want their information in bite size pieces, so short bulleted or numbered posts are the best. 300 – 500 words can be enough to get across a description of a local activity, a review of the best local beaches, or a route for a day trip.
How do I start?
The blog platform most people use is WordPress and it's easy to set up and start a blog with their hosted option which is entirely free. However, for flexibility and a lot of options for creating something really unique, I recommend self-hosting. There's plenty of advice and information on the web to help getting a blog started so do a little research or take a course. It will be well worth the effort.

Chart of the moment |
I. Introduction
This short extract gives you a taste of the personal "Child's Horoscope" by Liz Greene. The small samples taken from various chapters convey an impression of the complete horoscope (18-25 pages) which can be
ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound book in the AstroShop.
Most parents long to provide their children with the best they can offer on every level. But what is "the best"? The birth horoscope of a child is a map of patterns and potentials which exist in that child from the moment of birth. Encouragement of
these potentials in childhood can help a child to develop greater confidence and hope for a future which is more authentically his or her own, so that greater happiness and fulfillment are possible later in life.
II. Your Child's Psychological Type
In this concise chapter Liz Greene describes the child's general temperament and his characteristic approach to life.
The rich array of individual abilities and potentials portrayed in Twins Family 4's birth horoscope is set against the background of an inherent temperament bias which may be partly hereditary but is also the reflection of a mysterious essence which
belongs to him alone. This mysterious "something" is already at work within Twins Family 4, helping him to develop his personality along the lines which are healthiest and most natural to him.
[..] Consequently you may find that, as he grows, he displays a certain carelessness or even messiness in his relationship to objects and possessions. Absent-mindedness over domestic responsibilities and school tasks may also be displayed as
he gets older and moves out into [...]
III. The Characters in the Story
This is one of the most comprehensive chapters of the "Child's Horoscope". This short version touches only on a few of the central characters in your child's personality. The complete report provides a detailed description on 7-9 pages.
The tension between the main characters in Twins Family 4's inner story is the source of energy which provides the impetus for growth, movement and the formation of a healthy individuality.
[..] Introverted and serious, he has a vital and ever-present connection with the inner world of the imagination and the soul. Throughout
childhood he will always prefer a few real friends to the collective world of clubs and teams. He may be difficult to get to know, even [...]
[..] For this reason he should never be hurried, for he needs this period of reflection whether
a few moments or a few weeks before he feels secure enough to take on any new challenge. He may be a quick learner, but may refuse to read aloud in front of a class. He may be [...]
Hidden traits
[..] He would be condemning himself to an unnecessarily painful isolation if he retreats
defensively into a proud and inaccessible stance toward other children. His instinctive mistrust of any group situation may be based on real experiences of hurtful behaviour. It may also [...]
IV. Emotional Needs and Patterns in Relationships
This chapter contains valuable information on the child's basic needs and the relationship with his parents. The complete horoscope covers this chapter on 5-6 pages.
Every child has particular ways in which he or she experiences and seeks emotional contact with others, and this may not always accord with other, more dominant personality traits.
[..] There is no meanness in his heart, but his way of relating may sometimes seem to be a one-way street he
performs, leads, and inspires and others follow and tell him how wonderful he is!
Twins Family 4's impulsive and somewhat demanding emotional nature may show an excessive [...]
[..] It is important that Twins Family 4's father does not react to such moods with anger or
withdrawal, for the son feels deep respect and admiration for his father even if he sometimes expresses this admiration as resistance to his father's authority. Because this relationship [...]
V. Fears and Insecurities
Knowing about their child's fears can help parents to react with love and understanding in challenging situations. The child's main fears and insecurities are described on 2-3 pages in the full report.
VI. Looking toward the future
Many parents wonder about the future of their child. Every child has his own way to develop his potential. What this means for the individual child is described on 2-3 pages in chapter six of the complete Child's Horoscope.
These small samples from different chapters convey an impression of the Child's Horoscope which comprises 18 - 25 pages. It can be
ordered as an E-Horoscope or bound booklet in the Astroshop.

Design and analysis of a high pressure piezoelectric actuated microvalve
Fazal, I. and Elwenspoek, M.C. (2007) Design and analysis of a high pressure piezoelectric actuated microvalve. Journal of micromechanics and microengineering, 17 (11). pp. 2366-2379. ISSN 0960-1317
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 1MB |
Abstract: | A normally open piezoelectric actuated microvalve which modulates a gas flow is fabricated and tested. This work is based on the novel concept of combining micro-machining- and fine machining. The microvalve was tested for air flow. It is shown that a flow rate of 250 ml min-1 for a pressure difference of 4 bars can be achieved. The continuous and controlled flow of gas at any stage of valve operation can be obtained. Additionally, it has been shown that almost no hysteresis occurs during the valve operation and the power consumption is very low. |

Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is an important phenomenon in quantum physics, appearing in many areas.
There are two ways in which a symmetry which is present in a model on the level of the Lagrangean will fail to manifest itself in the quantum states. One is quantum anomaly, and the second is SSB. However, whereas quantum anomaly destroys also the conservation laws associated with the symmetry via Noether's theorem (at least on the local level), spontaneously broken symmetries still correspond to a conserved local current.
SSB can apply both to global and local (gauge) symmetry, and both to continuous and discrete symmetry.
In case of a global symmetry group G, SSB occurs when the groundstate of model |0> fails to be G-invariant. In general, it would be invariant under a certain subgroup H of G. As G is a symmetry group, for any element g of G, g|0> is also a groundstate of the model. Therefore, we necessarily obtain multiple groundstates. Due to the cluster decomposition principle, those different groundstate will necessarily lie in different superselection sectors. Therefore, any element g of G that doesn't also belong to H transforms the states of one superselection sector into the states of another. As a result, when we limit our view to a single superselction sector (what in reality we have to do), the symmetry transformation vanishes.
One might ask in what kind circumstances would |0> fail to be G-invariant. In fact, it is easy to produce examples of this kind. The simplest thing is a scalar field phin with a potential V(phin) s.t. V is G invariant however its minima aren't. The classical example of this sort is the so-called Mexican hat potential
V(phin) = (SUMnphin2 - a2)2
where a is some real constant. If phin is an N-dimensional vector (i.e. the index n takes the values 1..N), V is invariant under the full N-dimensional rotation group SO(N) (and even O(N), but we may ignore this for our purpose), however, its minima (the points satisfying
SUMnphin2 = a2
are only symmetric under an SO(N-1) subgroup.
Of course, in reality what matters is the quantum potential, rather than potential appearing in the Lagrangean. Therefore, quantizations may results in destroying or creating SSB. The later case is sometimes called "radiative symmetry breaking". Note that quantization may lead to SSB via other mechanisms also, such as the appearance of an unsymmetric quadratic fermion vacuum condensate (in case there are fermions in the model). This is usually called "dynamical symmetry breaking". At any rate, it is comparatively easy to prove that in our example one would get SSB for a sufficiently high value of a.
An important phenomenon associated with the SSB of global continuous symmetry is the appearance of so-called Goldstone bosons. Those are the massless particles corresponding to excitations of the field along the directions tangent to the vacuum manifold. The later is the set of groundstates resulting from SSB, having the geometry of the quotient space G/H. For the Mexican hat example, G/H is the (N-1)-sphere.
SSB of local (gauge) symmetry doesn't lead to multiple vacua as gauge symmetry doesn't act on the physical states anyway. However, it may still happen unsymmetric vacuum expectation values appear in gauge theory (to produce an example, just couple a "Mexican hat" type field to a gauge field). In such cases we can fix the gauge symmetry by demanding the field that develops the expectation values to choose everywhere the same point on the "vacuum manifold" G/H. In such a model, no Goldstone bosons appear (as we just "gauged away" the excitations which produced them before), however, the gauge boson (which otherwise has to be massless) gains mass! This may be demonstrated by substituting the vacuum expectation values into the Lagrangean: the result is a mass-term for the gauge field.
It's important to emphasize that although I used the language of quantum field theory most way through this write-up, the concepts described apply in exactly the same way to models of the kind found in solid state physics. A few real-life examples of SSB would be:
- The chiral symmetry of the quark field in quantum chromodynamics. It is the reason chiral symmetry is not manifest in the particle multiplets, although the chiral currents are still conserved.
- The rotational symmetry of space in the Heisenberg (XXX) model of ferromagnets. It is the reason spontaneous magentization appears within each domain, and therefore also the reason for the hysteresis loop.
- The electromagnetic U(1) gauge symmetry in superconductors. There the Cooper-pairs result in the appearance of the vacuum expectation values and all the special properties of superconductors (such as zero resistance and magnetic flux quantization) can be traced back to the SSB.
- The breaking of the electroweak SU(2) X U(1) group down to the U(1) group of electromagnetism (in our notations, G = SU(2) X U(1), H = U(1)) in the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model.

Foreigner, playing Thursday in Salina, remains in the spotlight
When a rock band phones in a below-par performance, it's one of the mightiest sins of all.
That's the undying belief of Kelly Hansen, the lead singer of Foreigner, who said the band proudly plays each concert as if it were a televised, farewell event.
"Some bands are kind of phony," he said during a recent telephone interview. "But we really like each other, and we enjoy what we're doing. Doing the shows, playing in front of the crowds, that's the best."
Despite the absence of original singer Lou Gramm, Foreigner remains a vital, hungry entity in the spotlight, thanks to the presence of founding guitarist-songwriter-producer Mick Jones, Hansen said. When one throws saxophonist/guitarist Tom Gimbel, keyboardist Michael Bluestein, drummer Mark Schulman and former Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson into the mix, Foreigner becomes unstoppable with a P.A. system, he said.
"We're so fortunate because our fans know the music so well, and I'm fortunate to be a singer in a band where there are so many well-crafted, popular songs," Hansen said. "It's good that so many people love the songs of Foreigner."
Foreigner's string of hits and cherished deep-album cuts include "Cold As Ice," "Juke Box Hero," "Long, Long Way From Home," "Double Vision," "Head Games," "Waiting for a Girl Like You," "Feels Like the First Time," "Say You Will" and "Fool for You Anyway." In Hansen's mind, there's not a definitive Foreigner track.
"I don't have a favorite song to sing or play each night, because they all are of such great quality," Hansen said. "They're apples and oranges, and the aspects of the gig change all of the time — is it a big gig or a small crowd, and are we playing indoors or is it an outdoor show?
"Things like that make the shows different, and so on some days, I'll prefer apples, and then another day I'll want oranges," he added. "They're all just great songs, and I enjoy them individually. We are so lucky to be able to do this."
Hansen admitted he was a bit nervous when taking over lead-vocal chores from the departed Gramm in 2005.
"Pressure? What? No pressure," Hansen said with a laugh. "Yeah, there was a lot of pressure stepping into a band that has created such a history and such a level of quality songs. But I got full support from Mick Jones and the other guys from Day One."
Hansen gives that kind of support back to his colleagues, as well as giving time to be an advocate for music and art programs in schools.
"Music and art programs in schools, unfortunately, are the first things cut from budgets," he said. "We need art and music programs. They make well-rounded people and make them tolerant to deal with others, both in their world and outside of their worlds.
"Music, literature and performance classes do provide a window to the world, so people can see outside their world," Hansen added. "Music and art teach tolerance — to not be fearful of the unknown. We've got to keep providing music and art to students."
