070: Jawbox
For Your Own Special Sweetheart
[Atlantic; 1994]
As the first band to leave the Dischord nest for the proverbial "bigger, better things," Jawbox broke a few DIY hearts when they signed to Atlantic. Subsequent dismissal would later fragment the band, but not before they laid down their magnum opus, For Your Own Special Sweetheart. Simultaneously violent and sublime as J. Robbins' gravelly rasp flies over the crunching chords of "Savory", or the drunken lurch of a wayward bassline collides with a tower of guitar at seventy miles per on the ominous "Motorist", all the gears turn in unison, creating a near perfect blend of heavy, uncompromising rock and an overarching sense of melody. The balancing act is flawless; Jawbox started in Fugazi's shadow as all Dischord bands inevitably do, but for a moment, superceded them, managing a feat that their ancestors wouldn't duplicate for several albums. --Eric Carr
069: Jeff Buckley
[Columbia; 1994]
It's difficult to imagine the world of contemporary singer/songwriters without the influence of Jeff Buckley. Indeed, it's difficult to imagine Radiohead in their current guise without the eerily affecting songcraft of Grace and its argument that modern rock needn't be just another run-through of post-Nirvana dynamics. Buckley's voice-- if not as recklessly expressive as his father's, certainly as overtly seductive-- soars angelically over his own chiming guitar figures. Gary Lucas (ex-Captain Beefheart) provides additional guitar and co-writes two of the best songs: "Mojo Pin"-- an epic transfiguration of Debussy with the heavenly grandeur of Led Zeppelin-- and the title track, which is at once perfect pop and an otherworldly declaration of freedom from the constraints of the material world.
Even as Buckley's vision seems incapable of disguising itself, his reinterpretations of Nina Simone's "Lilac Wine", Benjamin Britten's "Corpus Christi Carol", and especially Leonard Cohen's deeply affirming "Hallelujah" seem definitive. Grace ends enigmatically yet perfectly with "Dream Brother", as good an epitaph as any for an artist having clearly unfinished business in this world. It would have been nice to see where Buckley's promise would have led, but Grace will continue to spur on the midnight romantics for as long as it's within earshot. --Dominique Leone
068: Elliott Smith
[Dreamworks; 1998]
A singer/songwriter with a major label recording budget is, as they say, kind of like a mule with a spinning wheel-- no one knows how he got it, and damned if he knows how to use it. But rather than obfuscating his songwriting gift with syrupy string sections and armies of backup singers, Elliott Smith used his Dreamworks debut, XO, as an opportunity to further focus the emotional power of his previous releases. Melancholy and grandiosity may seem mutually exclusive, but on XO, they're combined to wonderful effect, each crystalline guitar line and majestic piano arpeggio adding momentum and depth to Smith's gorgeous and impassioned vocals.
Indeed, the most striking thing about XO may very well be the elegance and restraint Smith brings to his songs. Smith always managed to say a lot with a striking economy of sounds and words, and not a single note here seems forced or gratuitous. Though Smith was being preened for stardom at the time of its release, there's not a self-indulgent moment to be found on the record-- even its most elaborate parts seem infused with the unassuming spirit of Smith's own musical discovery. XO shows a man poised to take over the world, still content to find new and moving ways to sing about it. --Matt LeMay
067: Mouse on Mars
Iaora Tahiti
[Too Pure; 1995]
It's difficult to name the best Mouse on Mars album because Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma have such different goals for each. Over the course of their career, they've made atmospheric soundtracks, collaborated with vocalists, and dabbled in noise. No two records sound alike. But Iaora Tahiti is often cited as a favorite simply because it's so damn listenable. With its squishy, organic synths, swaths of space and dub references, Iaora Tahiti just feels good, especially the record's first half. Eventually, Mouse on Mars would head off in more abstract directions, but here, there's nothing deep or challenging about songs with names such as "Saturday Night Worldcup Fieber". The record's second half is filled with longer, more intense tracks that touch on techno and drum-n-bass while incorporating guitars and live drums (some people called this post-rock, see), but Iaora Tahiti never strays too far from pop. This is sunny electronic music operating in accordance with the pleasure principle. --Mark Richardson
066: Tricky
Maxinquaye
[Island; 1995]
The influences peel off like stickers on a notebook. Utilizing Bomb Squad-confrontational production and subtly primitive IDM textures, Tricky's uniquely muddy form of soundclash shocked the mid-90s listening populace with his merger of angular, raw sampling, dark synth innovation, and pseudo-intellectual lyrics to build the convention-destroying music of Maxinquaye. A collaborative effort from a former husband/wife team, Adrian Thawes and singer Martina Topley-Bird, demonstrated a bizarrely genuine chemistry in such shielded music. Topley-Bird's distinctively British dialect developed a refreshing retreat from her more typical peers, yielding a more modern voice for a changing musical landscape. As she sings, Tricky's monstrously cracking vocals shadow hers to make the listening experience a more personal feat than many pieces before it.
Borrowing more than lyrics from his previous tenure guesting for Massive Attack, Tricky's producer/singer relationship is stronger than the interplay in more linear genres, making this an obsessive work of customization. Unforgettable moments appear frequently, from the gorgeously hard drum break of "Ponderosa" to the clicking future saloon shootout screamer of "Strugglin'" to the Michael Jackson-sampling "Brand New, You're Retro". It's hard to imagine the landscapes of modern electronica and underground hip-hop without this record's influence. --Rollie Pemberton
065: Daft Punk
This is the kind of homework kids used to get in Paris, way back in 1997: French disco-breaks, dance-funk, and baguettes (a dietary staple from the "pretentious" food group). The latter is part of a balanced breakfast; the former two would be combined by Daft Punk to create the instantly accessible, so-simple-they're-unstoppable electro-fusion beats of Homework, the surprise success of which single-handedly brought French progressive house to worldwide prominence. Dmitri from Paris didn't show his work, and Air were just looking off Daft Punk's paper anyway; "Da Funk" is the original, with a sleazy, distorted vibe that sounds like 1970 imagining music in 1997, and still absolutely slays on the floor. Homework is a testament to elegance through simplicity, brilliant in its form. But Daft Punk never let that distract the listener; they would rather you just kept right on dancing. --Eric Carr
Last Splash
Like many records of the early 90s, Last Splash was a casualty of the alternative rock boom-- a wildly experimental album with a highly accessible standout single (in this case, two: "Cannonball" and the facetiously straightforward "Divine Hammer") that sent throngs of teenagers scrambling to buy it as quickly as to sell it back, and ten years later, it still has yet to fully overcome its reputation as a bargain-bin staple. This album, of course, was clearly never intended for mainstream consumption: its jarring blasts of feedback and screeching noise, angular vocal melodies, instrumental jam sessions, and unusual wordplay even seemed alien to some Pixies fans. Yet anyone open-minded to experimentation and the advancement of the form reveled in its brilliant, boundary-breaking melodies.
Kim and Kelley Deal beamed with girlish charisma and sibling chemistry, carefully crafting an album whose diversity was outweighed only by its artistry. "Invisible Man" is an aching pop ballad overdriven with distortion and longing; "No Aloha" opens with a disorienting vocal line and punchdrunk Hawaiian guitar before being swallowed by a vortex of chugging, blissful guitar pop; "Do You Love Me Now" is a searching love song that swoons like lovestruck 60s girl groups; "Saints" looks forward to summer with Jim MacPherson's skipping drumbeat and the Deal sisters' anthemic one-line chorus. Last Splash proved Kim Deal had more to do with the Pixies success than anyone had previously thought, and was so tight even its B-sides are classic. --Ryan Schreiber
063: De La Soul
De La Soul Is Dead
[Tommy Boy; 1991]
From the beginning, they knew their style of speak wouldn't be wholly accepted. Developed as an affront to the success of their debut album Three Feet High and Rising, De La squashed the D.A.I.S.Y theory, while tilting their sound toward denser and more introspective ends. The new incarnation of De La lampooned thug rappers, hip house, demo-toting hopefuls and Burger King employees, while tempering their more light-hearted humor with darker territory like child rape and crack addiction. Not only did the group manage to master the art of the skit and invent myriad off-kilter rhyme schemes; they also contributed the first notable concept album to hip-hop, basing this record around the meta subtext of a listening session with a discarded copy of itself.
Prince Paul stood tall as the figurehead for obscure production tricks, taking sample-based fare into a new level of conscious beat design. Enter song manipulation mastered: tracks from Funkadelic's Maggot Brain morphed into a depressive jazz piano bass march, "Rhythm and Rhyme" samples transformed into a clattering horn prance through a mine field. De La Soul Is Dead boasted absurd levels of diversity, changing face at nearly every turn, yet always maintaining the group's already-distinctive style. --Rollie Pemberton
062: Aphex Twin
Selected Ambient Works, Vol. II
Selected Ambient Works, Vol. II has few identifiable beats, choruses, or hooks. It doesn't even have song titles. Often, there's nothing but timbre. If you're lucky, a track might contain faint, arrhythmic squeaks. At its most approachable, it's a pop song attenuated to a classical structure and stripped of its purpose. It's music the same way the Bible is some book. Reportedly written in Richard D. James' lucid dreams, the pieces are lighter and more natural than death, necromantic vocals occasionally emerging out of tangible textures only to instantly recede.
On a couple of tracks, James audaciously manages to transform ambient Stockhausen/Reich-inspired phantasms into something a deaf man might almost call funky. On the more "disturbing" tracks, the incontestably sonorous-- perhaps even religious-- melodies seem to elliptically elude themselves and quietly uproot peals of static and a bitter spirit of languor. It simultaneously pledges to fulfill every desire and expose us all to fates terminated in Arctic graveyards. As an aftershock, it also spurred on one of the great trajectories of pop music in the 1990s, influencing everyone from Radiohead to Timbaland. Cloistered cubicle-dwellers and yoga instructors everywhere gobbled up every Aphex mouse pad and called him the messiah. Mojo called him the next Mozart, and in The Ambient Century, Mark Prendegrast compared one of his songs to Chopin. These are probably overreactions; then again, after buying this album, I've rarely had an inclination to listen to anything else. --Alex Linhardt
061: Pulp
Different Class
In the UK, an oft-asked question throughout the summer of 1995 was "Blur or Oasis?" The correct answer was "Pulp." Months before the Blur-Oasis duel-- and about 15 years into their career-- Pulp reached #2 on the singles chart with "Common People", a rare moment of inspired anger and vitriol amidst the empty nationalism of Britpop. The song's bitter claim that "You'll never fail like common people/ And watch your life slide out of view" could have been aimed at Damon Albarn and his embrace of lower-class culture, the new anti-intellectualism of laddist slumming, or the conservatism of then-burgeoning Noel-rock. It was probably a bit of all three, simply disguising itself as the story of a brief fling between some anonymous low-rent bloke and the heiress to a family fortune.
Pulp's Jarvis Cocker wrote the bulk of Different Class after the success of "Common People", and it oozes with the confidence, ambition, and relief of a man who, after years of trying, was finally in the right place at the right time. He had to get it right and, spectacularly, he did, articulating the rage of the misshapen and the chronicling the dreams and small victories of broken people with a sparkling and biting blend of wit, panache, class warfare, sexual politics, and glorious (and "Gloria"-borrowed) pop hooks. In the process, Sheffield: Sex City's uncommon heroes proved themselves worthy of the record's titular compliment, and managed to avoid treading the same bloated, conservative waters in which their contemporaries eventually drowned, becoming Britpop's most transcendent stars and one of the UK's most engaging pop acts. --Scott Plagenhoef

Stamina is the word that comes to mind in regard to Mark Brown's rigorous adaptation of Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days. Brown's circumnavigational odyssey, now on stage at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach, calls for a cast of five to portray more than 40 different characters. One of the actors, Will Vought, takes on 19 all by himself. That's stamina. That's perspiration. You see plenty of it, and not just on Vought's brow alone, during the two-hours-plus production.
Stentorian-voiced Richard Baird is the lone member of the ensemble who plays only one part, but it's the central role of adventurer Phileas Fogg, who to win a wager unflappably embraces the quest to travel around the world in 80 days. As Fogg's sidekick Passepartout, the dependably hilarious Omri Schein owns the North Coast Rep stage every moment he's on it, demonstrating his remarkable talent for both physical and reactive comedy. Rounding out the cast (billed simply as Actor 1, Actor 2, Actor 3 and so on) are Loren Lester in multiple roles, principally that of a detective pursuing Fogg in a generally useless subplot to the main story, and Lovlee Carroll, whose highest-profile character is that of a petite Indian woman rescued from a ritual sacrifice by Fogg.
Brown's script is very busy and more than a bit contrived, but the game cast gives it a good go under the direction of Allison Bibicoff. The rapid-fire costume changing borders on vaudevillian, which seems apt for a show like this one, and there's never a moment taken or presented too seriously. Who knows what Jules Verne would have thought of this reimagination, but he doubtlessly would have cracked a smile, and perhaps more than one.

– One very important aspect to consider in buying a Bengal cat is the real cost. Well, if you would like a Bengal into your home, you should really well know that it's a rare breed. With rarity comes the high cost, and that means you should expect a Bengal cat may cost from 500 USD to approximately 5,000 USD, depending on what Bengal caliber you would like.
As you probably already know, there are 3 chief sorts of Bengals-pet quality, breeder quality, and show quality. Pet quality Bengals cost 500-1,000 USD while a breeder or show quality Bengal could price from 1,500-5,000 USD (show Bengals may be more expensive depending on the breeder).
Micro-chipping is very important for the identification of your Bengal. It really makes a difference especially in the event that you lose your cat by chance. Embedding a microchip in your cat can cost you 50 USD.
The cost of the breeder cat food changes from time to time, depending on the purchase price of raw materials. You need to keep yourself updated with the price variations in the local grocery store.
Vet care and vaccines should be considered as well. Work with your vet for the payment methods that you could avail of (health insurance). This may also have potential emergency care, hospitalization, nutritional supplements, and other medications. This is a really significant factor in determining how far a Bengal could purchase. Vaccinations price 50-70 USD, whilst flea and de-worming drugs cost 20 USD.
Insuring your Bengal cat might genuinely help you from the entire medical cost to getting you reunited with your Bengal (if you misplaced it). Adding this on your Bengal budget is a must. Bengal cat insurance can cost 30 USD monthly.
The amount of money needed in obtaining a Bengal cat also depends upon where you're going to get your Bengal. In case you decide to receive your cat from a reputable breeder, then you ought to be preparing a bigger amount. However, if you're likely to receive your Bengal cat from a rescue center, it will only cost you a lot less since you'll be adopting the cat. Regardless, you should still think about the costs in keeping your Bengal cat.

The Kees Engelbarts Tourbillon Organic Skeleton (Archive)
September 30, 2018 /1 Comment/in Highlights, Independents, Kees Engelbarts /by Elizabeth Doerr
Extraordinary engraver Kees Engelbarts loves his skeletonized watches as they do very much showcase his art form. "I wanted to make another kind of skeleton watch," he says about his latest creation called Tourbillon Organic Skeleton. "Most skeleton watches are, as you know, very symmetric. My plan was to make a skeleton watch without a drawing or plan before starting, by just taking away material from the base plate and bridges that is not needed."

Kees Engelbarts' Unique Platinum Tsuba Features Rare Crafts And Imaginative Interpretations Of Japanese Art Forms
March 6, 2016 /2 Comments/in Highlights, Arts, Independents, Kees Engelbarts /by Elizabeth Doerr
A tsuba is the hand guard of a traditional Japanese sword. "These eventually became elaborate pieces of art – far beyond their practical use," says engraver Kees Engelbarts, whose fascination with Japanese handcrafts led him to use the Japanese metal alloying technique called mokume gane as the first one in watchmaking. It has now also led him to dedicate a watch to the tsuba theme, inspired in particular by a piece by Japanese swordsmith Hamano Masanobu.

Some Commentary Regarding a Downton Abbey Golden Globe Win
**Spoiler alert** If you watch Downton Abbey but have not reached season four, you probably shouldn't read this here post!
I did not watch the Golden Globes last night.
I generally don't watch award shows because generally speaking, I could care less about who wins what in Hollywood.
However, I heard today that Joanne Froggatt won the Golden Globe for Best Performance By an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries, or Motion Picture Made for Television (whew, that was a mouthful!) for her performance in the role of Anna Bates in the fourth season of Downton Abbey.
I'm just gonna go out and say it–I've stopped watching Downton Abbey this season. I'm bored of the story line, I think the characters have passed their prime, and I personally believe that the show should have wrapped up after the third season. It's all become a little too over dramatic for me; the refreshing beauty that it had in it's first couple seasons as a show that was different, not like everything else out there on television, has been lost in trying to keep it going for far too long.
Last season, season 4, was the beginning of this downward spiral. I really can't recall much of season 4 just because, well, quite frankly, there's not a whole lot worth remembering. Even The Dowager Countess, played by the brilliant Dame Maggie Smith–who really made the show in many ways–was losing her charm. The Dowager Countesses remarks that were so witty and spot on in the early seasons seemed forced and dried up in season 4.
Then there was Anna. Anna's season 4 story line was without a doubt the most controversial story line of the season, if not the whole series. It was terrible. It was horrible. It was really, quite truly, unbelievable to watch Anna, such a kind and beloved character, suffer as she did. I know many viewers were shocked and disappointed. I know many viewers who decided to quit watching Downton then and there because it was too sad, too heartbreaking for them, because they were so upset that the writers allowed that to happen.
Me? I was so glad to see Downton cover the subject. Anna's rape was not easy to watch. It was not easy to see the pain she endured in the aftermath. It was not easy to see her relationship with Mr. Bates suffer as a result. But it was so real and so raw. These things happen. They happened back then, they happen today. I hate how we as a society tend to throw such touchy subjects under the rug. It's important to talk about them, to acknowledge that such terribly bad things do happen. Downton tackled such a difficult subject with Anna's rape, and I think they did it well…it simply could not have been successful, though, without Joanne Froggatt. Her performance was stunning. It was phenomenal. It made watching Anna's pain all the more difficult to watch.
Need proof? Take a look:
I probably would have stopped watching Downton Abbey mid-season if not for Froggatt's performance. It was, without a doubt, the shining light in Season 4. While many of the other characters have gotten annoying and kind of unbearable, watching Joanne Froggatt play a beaten and broken down Anna–as difficult as it was to do so–made Season 4 worthwhile for me.
When I heard she had won the Golden Globe nomination, I couldn't have been happier. I didn't even know she was up for the nomination in the first place, but she deserved the win. Her portrayal of Anna in season four is one of those performances that is difficult to forget. A subject like rape is difficult to portray on screen; Anna's story could have come off as inappropriate and all-together wrong. However, that certainly didn't happen because of Froggatt's performance.
In other news, I was near tears while watching her acceptance speech.

2 Replies to "Some Commentary Regarding a Downton Abbey Golden Globe Win"
I adore Downton Abbey (and have continued to watch, although I agree with you that it's not as good as it once was), and was bouncing out of my seat with excitement when Froggat won. I remember watching that scene unfold while I was studying abroad in England. My friends and I were gathered in someone's dorm and we were all screaming at the t.v. scene. It's so heartbreaking. Rape is such a delicate, controversial, uncomfortable, but REAL subject, and I'm glad that the Hollywood Foreign Press (who decides the awards) didn't shirk away from this and that, through her graceful and wonderful acceptance speech, Froggat was able to shed light and support on women who, like Anna, have been victims.
Britta says:
Absolutely. I can't comment on the performance of any of the other nominees since I didn't watch them, but I get the feeling that it would have been wrong for anyone else to win. It gives me such hope for the future to see Froggatt's performance being recognized so publicly, since it does deal with such a touchy subject. A much deserved award for a phenomenal actress.

Discussion in 'Wii U - Games & Content' started by brenoppr, Aug 19, 2018.
Hey, I have been having problems with mario maker recently. Whenever I try loading up the game from the home menu it gets stuck on the initial loading screen (the all yellow one with builder mario in the front). The only workaround I found to this problem was to delete the update data for the game every time I reboot the Wii U. If I do this the game loads normally, however it is annoying af to do all the time. Does anyone have a clue of what might be happening? It also probably is important to mention I most likely installed the updates for the game with WUP Installer and WiiU Usb Helper, and that I'm currently using coldboot haxchii with rednand and mocha. Thanks in advance!

The Future of PACER and Its Fees
Carole Levitt and Mark Rosch April 11, 2017	Uncategorized Leave a comment
The Intersection of Legal Plans with Technology
Optimize Local Counsel Management
Time Tracker Legal Software Automation Improves Law Firm Efficiency and Success
For years, lawyers and parties have complained that the online system for accessing Federal court documents, PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records System, is clunky and over-priced. One of the reasons that PACER is so clunky is that it is not a unified database of documents. Each of the 215 federal courts still maintain their own separate database and PACER is an overlay built to search them simultaneously. The other "clunky" aspect is that PACER lacks any way to keyword search through its database.
There have been very few improvements made to the system since it first became available on the internet in 2001. (While PACER was launched in 1988, it was initially only accessible via dedicated terminals in public law libraries, court houses, and similar locations.)
Currently, PACER fees are $0.10 per page for retrieved documents with a cap of $3.00 per document. There is no cap on the cost of retrieving a transcript. You will pay $0.10 per page for every page of a transcript—and transcripts can run hundreds or thousands of pages. If you rack up less than $15.00 in a quarter, then the courts delete your balance and start again from $0.00. While these fees might seem low if you do not have to research and retrieve many documents, consider that the courts reportedly collected $145 million in fees in 2014.
The National Veterans Legal Services Program, a non-profit advocacy agency for military veterans, filed a lawsuit challenging those fees. In their complaint, the plaintiffs call the fees excessive and characterize them as a violation of the E-Government Act of 2002, saying the fees are "far more than necessary to recover the cost of providing access to electronic records."
In January 2017, U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Huvelle ruled that the case could proceed and certified it as a class action, allowing anyone who paid fees between April 2010 and April 2016 to be part of the class in the suit.
Separately, on February 14, 2017, the Congressional Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet held hearings on PACER's operations. As part of that hearing, select witnesses were invited to testify before the Committee. In his testimony, Thomas R. Bruce, co-founder and director of the Cornell University Law School's Legal Information Institute, offers an excellent history of PACER that includes an overview of its features and shortcomings.
Additionally, the Internet Archive was invited to submit a statement for the record regarding PACER. (The Internet Archive has been a longtime supporter of free access to court records, already hosting millions of documents that PACER users have purchased and donated via the RECAP project. RECAP is an initiative of the non-profit Free Law Project.)
In the Internet Archive's statement to the Committee, Brewster Kahle, digital librarian and founder of the Internet Archive, offered to host the entirety of the PACER database for free and in perpetuity, and provide better search capabilities, stating:
"By this submission, the Internet Archive would like to clearly state to the Judiciary Committee, as well as to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts and the Judicial Conference of the United States, that we would be delighted to archive and host—for free, forever, and without restriction on access to the public—all records contained in PACER.
This PACER collection we would maintain and improve would have far more detailed metadata and contextual information than the GPO service or the PACER Case Locator service. And, that's just for starters, because we know that there are thousands of eager researchers, journalists, and government workers (including Congressional staff) who would immediately jump in and work with us.
By providing no-cost access to the Internet Archive to PACER and accepting our commitment to make this information available for use without restriction in perpetuity, we believe we can work with our government to make the workings of our court more usable to government attorneys, to members of the bar, and to the public at large."
The RECAP project shows that a better way to access the PACER information is possible. The Free Law Project's volunteers have built an interface to keyword search and browse the PACER documents in their collection. That search initiative is part of the non-profit's free legal research website, CourtListener.
RECAP's collection of documents (now found at CourtListener) is not comprehensive; it is reliant on PACER users donating documents they have purchased. Additionally, not everything in the CourtListener collection is keyword searchable yet, because they are "being very conservative about what is browseable/searchable because of ongoing privacy concerns related to attorneys who failed to redact personal information." However, there are many court documents originally filed as (non-readable) PDFs that CourtListener has converted to text and made searchable.
Regardless of the keyword search feature not being available for all documents, CourtListener already allows you to search and download millions of PACER documents in its collection, in a much more user-friendly manner than the court's official PACER site.
This latest offer from the Internet Archive, especially when combined with the existing work of the RECAP project and its CourtListener experiment, appears to be a viable solution to many of the complaints PACER users have voiced for years. This unique public/non-profit partnership would make PACER universally available—and much more user-friendly—all at no cost to the taxpayer or the public at large. The determining factor may be whether the courts will give up the $145 million in fees it has been reported PACER generates annually, much of which is used to support other court expenses, beyond the operation of PACER.

The number of companies prosecuted by the Health and Safety (HSE) executive over construction deaths has fallen despite an increase in the number of fatalities, construction union Ucatt has said.
A study on behalf of the union by the Centre for Corporate Accountability showed a fall in the proportion of successful HSE prosecutions following fatalities from 42 per cent of cases in 1998 to 11 per cent in 2006.
Breaches of health and safety guidelines that could lead to prosecution in the event of death or injury include failure to provide workers with the necessary personal protective equipment for their job.
The HSE internal audit found that it was successfully prosecuting in 60 per cent of fatality cases when it believed 70 per cent were due to management failures of health and safety, the Times reports.

Scientists have already successfully coaxed stem cells into becoming red blood cells, which could be used to create "man-made" blood for transfusion. Red blood cells, however, aren't the only component of human blood. Now, researchers at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital have also created functional human platelets, using a bioreactor that simulates the medium in which blood cells are naturally produced – bone marrow.
The main role of platelets (also known as thrombocytes) is to stop wounds from bleeding, by essentially "plugging the hole" in the skin with a clot. Without sufficient numbers of them in the blood, spontaneous and excessive bleeding can occur. Such shortages can be caused by diseases, as a result of undergoing chemotherapy, or by other factors. In these situations, transfusions of platelets harvested from donated blood are often necessary.
In previous studies, scientists have successfully gotten induced pluripotent stem cells to change into megakaryocytes – these are the cells that ordinarily sit in the bone marrow and release platelets into the bloodstream. Unfortunately, it's proven difficult to get those lab-grown megakaryocytes to produce platelets outside of the body.
That's where Brigham and Women's new "bioreactor-on-a-chip" comes into the picture. By mimicking bone marrow's extracellular matrix composition, stiffness, micro-channel size and shear forces, it persuades the megakaryocytes to produce anywhere from 10 to 90 percent more platelets than was previously possible.
It is hoped that once the technology is scaled up, platelets made with it could be used to address shortages of donated natural platelets, and to minimize the risk of diseases being transmitted between donors and recipients. Human clinical trials are planned to begin in 2017.
The research was led by Dr. Jonathan Thon, and is described in a paper recently published in the journal Blood.

From the Publisher. El Lissitzky's first suprematist book is a story about how two squares, one red, one black, transform a world. It is Lissitzky's "scientific romance," an allegory of the fourth dimension and its effect on the three-dimensional world. When it was first published in Berlin in 1922, About 2 Squares presented a radical rethinking of what a book was, demonstrating a new way of organizing typography on a page and relating it to visual images. It marked the beginning of a new graphic art and is among the most important publications in the history of the avant-garde in typography and graphic design.
This facsimile limited edition is reproduced in letterpress with the English translation printed on a transparent overlay to register over the original Russian.
The commentary, More About 2 Squares, boxed in the same slipcase, provides a detailed analysis of this seminal work. Railing provides a brief historical survey of avant-garde poetry in Russia and shows how the letter/ sound was applied by Lissitzky in About 2 Squares as a corollary to the pictorial images - a relationship that forms the basis of abstract or nonobjective language and painting in Russia, and is the theoretical and creative source and device of Lissitzky's graphic design. Railing's is a study both of the philosophical idea of suprematism and the artistic content of Lissitzky's architectural extension of the suprematist painting of Kazimir Malevich, which he called the Proun, and of its particular role as a sequence of images used to create the story About 2 Squares.
The wonders of red-white-black and fantastic composition with two squares! And meaning! You can become as smart a designer as a child of the revolution.

Beyond silicon: New semiconductor moves "spintronics" toward reality

A groundbreaking semiconductor compound is bringing fresh momentum to the field of spintronics, a new breed of computing device that may lead to smaller, faster, less power-hungry electronics. Created from an entirely new "low symmetry" crystal structure, the compound is the first to build spintronic properties into a material that's stable at room temperature and easily tailored to a variety of applications. It could eventually be used as the base material for spintronic processors and other devices, much like silicon is the base for today's computing devices. The new compound is detailed in a paper published online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. It will also be published in a forthcoming print version.

Spintronics use both the presence or absence of electrical charge and the "up" or "down" magnetic spin of electrons to store information, where today's electronics use only electrical charge. Spin-based circuits can be smaller than charge-based circuits, enabling device makers to pack more circuits onto a single processor. This is a key advantage, since traditional electronics are approaching their physical size limits.
"You can only make an electronic circuit so small before the charge of an electron becomes erratic," said Ferdinand Poudeu, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering department at the University of Michigan "But the spin of electrons remains stable at much smaller sizes, so spintronic devices open the door to a whole new generation of computing."
Spintronics can also retain data even after power is shut off, unlike today's processors and computer memory. This may enable device makers to combine functions that require separate components in today's computing devices. For example, instead of using a processor to make calculations, RAM memory for primary storage and a hard drive for secondary storage, a single spintronic chip could handle all three functions, dramatically reducing the size and power consumption of computers.
A groundbreaking new semiconductor compound may lead to smaller, faster, less power-hungry electronics. It's the first to build spintronic properties into a material that's stable at room temperature and easily tailored to a variety of applications.
But spintronic semiconductors require precise control over both magnetism and conductivity in order to control both the spin and the charge of electrons. Researchers have struggled to create a semiconductor that can be easily "tuned" to the levels required and that maintains its properties over a range of temperatures. Poudeu explains that the root of the problem lies in the crystalline structure that makes up semiconductors.
"Today's semiconductors are made of crystals with simple, symmetrical patterns, like a microscopic lattice that repeats over and over. We control the properties of those semiconductors by adding atoms of different elements to the holes in that lattice. For example, we can add bismuth to increase conductivity, or iron to increase magnetism," he said. "To make spintronic semiconductors, we need to add atoms of different sizes, and we need flexibility in where we place those atoms. But in most commonly used crystals, the holes are all similarly sized and regularly spaced. That gives us a very limited amount of control."

Researchers have been working for years to solve this problem by finding new ways to add atoms to commonly used crystalline structures. But Poudeu's team took a different approach, creating an entirely new structure. They used a mixture of iron, bismuth and selenium to create a complex crystal that offers much greater flexibility. The new structure looks more like Swiss cheese than a lattice, with holes of varying size placed at varying distances in multiple, overlapping layers.
"Ordinarily, conductivity and magnetism are linked together, so you can't change one without affecting the other," said Juan Lopez, a doctoral student in materials science and engineering who worked on the project. "But this new compound changes that. It enables us to arrange atoms in a huge number of different combinations so that we can manipulate conductivity and magnetism independently. That level of control is going to open a whole new set of possibilities in spintronics."
Thus far, the team has only created and tested the new compound in powder form. The next step is to manufacture it in the thin film that would be required for a spintronic device. Lopez believes that this may be feasible within a year.
The paper is titled "Coexistence of High-T Ferromagnetism and n-Type Electrical Conductivity in FeBi2Se4." It will be published in a forthcoming print edition of the journal.

Alexander Seavey
Saint George, Knox County, Maine, USA
30 Jan 1908 (aged 83)
Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, USA
ALEXANDER SEAVY
Born in the port town of Rockland, Maine, Alexander Seavy (1824-1908) came to Lane County via the West Indies, Brazil, Cape Horn, the California gold mines, and southern Oregon. He took up a 160-acre claim in 1855, placed 350 cows and calves on it and started into the stock-raising business. In 1858 he married Sarah Ann Blachly, daughter of Ebenezer and Susan Blachly, and they raised eight children. They also bought a farm of over a thousand acres, devoting part of it to growing hops. These crops were successful and the business grew — until the "Seavy hop yards" became known throughout the region as a place where work could be found in even the most dire times.~~~

THE DEATH OF PIONEER, ALEXANDER SEAVY
Alexander Seavy, a Lane county pioneer, died at the home of his daughter in Eugene, last evening at the age of 83 years, 9 months and 29 days. The funeral will be held at the residence of J. W. Seavy at the corner of West sixth and Lincoln streets, Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock, with interment in the Masonic cemetery. Mr. Seavy was born at Rockland Maine, April 1, 1824. In early manhood he followed the occupation of a seaman, and taking passage on a sailing vessel at Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1849 he came around Cape Horn to San Francisco. From there he went to the mines in Trinidad County California, and from there came to Oregon and started a store at Althouse, then a prosperous mining camp in Josephine county. He was successful in this venture, but sold out in 1855 and came to Lane county, taking up 160 acres of land several miles northeast of Eugene and there engaged in stock raising. He added to his holdings till at the present time the farm owned by him amounts to 1100 acres. He started to raise hops in 1883 and ever since then the Seavy hop yards have been famous all over the upper Valley. Through his marriage to Sarah A. Blachley, the following children were born to Mr. Seavy: William C., Thomas E., J. W., J. H. and J. A. who are farmers of Lane county; Anna, wife of E. T. Bushnell; Clara, widow of the late Jasper Wilkins, and Sophronia, deceased.
