How Cheap Crude Stalled America's Booming Oil Trains

It was a record year for oil train mishaps—and the year crude-by-rail hit the brakes.

It's been several months since an oil train accident grabbed big headlines—but not because there haven't been any. A single weekend in November saw two trains derail in Wisconsin. The first spilled about 20,000 gallons of ethanol into the Mississippi River, followed a day later by a spill of about 1,000 gallons of North Dakota Bakken crude.
This year has already been the costliest by far for crude train explosions. Derailments in 2015 have caused $29.7 million in damage, according to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation, a huge increase from $7.5 million in 2014. Most of this year's price tag can be attributed to two crashes within a three-week span. The Feb. 16 derailment of a CSX train in West Virginia triggered a massive explosion near a cluster of homes along the Kanawha River and led to more than $23 million in damage. A BNSF train that derailed and exploded in Illinois on March 5 caused an additional $5.5 million in damage. Both trains were carrying highly explosive crude from North Dakota.
The lesser-noticed recent accidents haven't come with explosions or towering fireballs. At least some of the ruptured tank cars were the newer-model CPC-1232, which are supposed to be less likely to split open. The U.S. and Canada earlier this year announced stricter tank car standards, mandating further improvements in the future. Those rules will cost companies—mostly those that ship crude—an estimated $2.5 billion from 2015 to 2034; government estimates suggest the benefits will range from $912 million to $2.9 billion, presumably from fewer accidents.
But even without changing safety standards, there's reason to suspect that costly train accidents will decline. While 2015 will go down as the worst year for crude train disasters, it's also shaping up to be the year crude-by-rail hit the brakes. The crash in prices has slowed activity in the oilpatch and reduced the amount of petroleum riding the rails. The number of train carloads carrying petroleum has fallen 30 percent through Nov. 20 since peaking in December 2014, according to the American Association of Railroads. The monthly data on crude-by-rail shipments kept by the U.S. government lags a few months behind, but as of September those shipments had dropped 21 percent from their peak in January 2015.
Rail shipments of petroleum are down 30 percent in 2015.
This marks the first sustained decline in crude-by-rail traffic since it took off in 2009, jumping an astounding 5,000 percent in a little more than five years. Putting oil on trains was never the most efficient way to move it. It's expensive and slow, not to mention dangerous. But in the places where the shale boom has unlocked the biggest amounts of crude, trains were often the only option.
That's especially true in North Dakota, home to the Bakken formation, where oil production has risen from about 200,000 barrels a day to more than 1 million. By 2013, 71 percent of Bakken crude was transported by train. North Dakota has almost single-handedly driven the crude-by-rail boom, accounting for 80 percent of all oil train traffic in the U.S. as of earlier this year.
Since the third quarter of 2014, however, two pipeline projects have been completed in North Dakota, increasing the amount of oil that can be piped out of the state by nearly 200,000 barrels a day. There's also a new refinery that opened earlier this year, reducing the amount of oil that needs to be railed down to the large refineries outside Chicago. Since 2011, North Dakota's combined pipeline and refining capacity has doubled, from 400,000 barrels a day to 800,000. By the end of 2017 it's slated to double again, to 1.5 million barrels a day.
Oil traders now have options for how to move oil out of North Dakota. But there's another reason they're pulling back on the amount they put on the rails: It's not as profitable as it used to be. Early on, the shale boom created an enormous glut of crude that ended up stuck in the middle of the country. Getting it to market meant putting it on trucks and trains and barges, which was expensive and slow. So the price of U.S. crude fell compared with international prices. By October 2011 a barrel of U.S. oil pegged to the West Texas Intermediate contract that trades in New York was $27 cheaper than an equivalent barrel priced against the Brent contract trading in London.
That differential led to one of the biggest arbitrage opportunities the oil market has ever seen. Savvy traders could buy cheap oil in the middle of the U.S., find a way to move it, and sell it for higher prices along the coasts, where the market is more exposed to Brent prices. The price to send a barrel of oil by rail from North Dakota down to the U.S. Gulf Coast was about $9 or $10; the rest became profit. Over the past few years, millions of barrels of oil in North Dakota got loaded onto trains bound for the East Coast and the Gulf.
But as the U.S. oil infrastructure reoriented around the shale boom and pipelines began moving domestic oil to the coasts, instead of moving imports into the heartland, the spread between WTI and Brent has narrowed. The crash in global oil prices has closed the gap even further, to the point that a barrel of WTI crude is now just $3 cheaper than a barrel of Brent. That's not enough to make money if you have to ship it hundreds of miles on a train. Refineries in Texas and Louisiana have switched from railing oil in from North Dakota to importing more crude from West Africa.
As a result, there's now a glut of tank cars on the market. According to energy research firm Genscape, lease rates have fallen from $2,500 a month to about $500. Big refining companies, which are among the largest crude-by-rail shippers, are shifting their strategy and trying to lock in prices for three and four years rather than just a few months.
David Vernon, a transportation analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, thinks crude-by-rail traffic has peaked. "The heyday is over," he said. "The high-water mark has likely been set in terms of volumes."
Canada's growing oil production is expected to outpace its capacity of new pipelines.
Canada, however, could be a different story. Although the country's oil sands industry is struggling against low prices, there are projects currently under construction that will be finished over the next few years. That extra oil will have to move somehow, and as of now, trains are looking like a strong candidate. Canada's oil production is forecast to grow faster than pipelines can be built, especially now that the Keystone XL is officially dead. So while the number of trains loaded with crude crisscrossing the U.S. may diminish in the next few years, rail may remain a viable option in Canada.

Analysis forecasts derailment every other year if oil train terminal is built
• Wash. state facility would receive 4 trains a day
• Just one fire department in state said it was ready
• BNSF among clients of firm that wrote spill study
By Curtis Tate, November 24, 2015
More oil trains could bring more oil train derailments to Washington state, a draft environmental impact statement predicts. Bellingham Herald
WASHINGTON – A proposal to build the largest oil train terminal in the Pacific Northwest could result in a derailment every two years and an oil spill from a derailment once every 12, according to a draft analysis by a Washington state agency.
The document, released Tuesday, indicates that most fire departments along the oil trains' rail route are not prepared for a spill or fire that could accompany a derailment. Out of the 12 departments that responded to the survey request, only one indicated its firefighters are trained and equipped for such an incident.
Further, only half the departments said they knew the locations of BNSF Railway's specialized firefighting equipment closest to their jurisdiction. And while three-quarters of them reported having access to personal protective equipment, firefighting foam and foam applicators, only a quarter said they had access to oil spill containment booms.
The draft environmental impact statement from the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council said that BNSF would bring four oil trains a day to the Vancouver Energy facility at the Port of Vancouver, Wash., with the loaded trains mostly following the path of the Columbia River and the empty trains returning east via Tacoma, Auburn and Stampede Pass.
With those four daily trains, carrying 100 or more cars each of either light crude from North Dakota or diluted heavy crude from western Canada, the agency forecast "a derailment incident might occur once every two years with a loaded train, and once every 20 months with an empty train."
The document noted, however, that not all derailments would result in a spill.
Tina Barbee, a spokeswoman for Vancouver Energy, said the company was reviewing the document and "will be able to address specific issues and respond to more detailed questions over the coming weeks."
Courtney Wallace, a spokeswoman for BNSF, said the railroad had trained 800 firefighters in Washington state this year, and that included giving them the location of BNSF's specialized firefighting resources.
She said BNSF has equipment and personnel staged in Everett, Seattle, Longview, Wishram, Pasco and Spokane.
"We will continue to work with first responders to ensure they have information about BNSF's resources," Wallace said.
EDITORS: STORY CAN END HERE
There have been seven derailments of oil trains in North America this year that have resulted in spills or fires. Though none of those events took place in Washington state, derailments in West Virginia, Illinois, North Dakota and Montana released hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil.
The rail spill analysis portion of the Washington state draft document was written in part by three consultants who are former employees of BNSF and its predecessor, Burlington Northern. In addition to the state agency for which they prepared the analysis, their clients include BNSF and the Port of Vancouver.
Neither the state agency, nor its consultants could be reached to comment late Tuesday.
Wallace, the BNSF spokeswoman, said she knew of no work or input from the railroad on the rail spill analysis.

Three derailments are three too many

Train derailment, Alma, Wisconsin << CBS Minnesota
It's hard to believe Andy Cummings, spokesperson for Canadian Pacific Railway, when he says CP Rail feels it is "absolutely" safe to resume the transportation of oil in the wake of the three derailments last week in Wisconsin.
The first derailed (BNSF) train hurled 32 cars off the tracks outside of Alma, Wis., pouring more than 18,000 gallons of ethanol into the Mississippi River upstream of Winona. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report notes that ethanol (denatured alcohol) is flammable and toxic to aquatic organisms and human life — and it's water soluble. Though the EPA and Wisconsin DNR admitted they could not remove the toxic product from the water; site coordinator Andy Maguire claims that since they cannot detect concentrated areas of ethanol, it is not negatively impacting the surrounding aquatic life. This was the third derailment on the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife Refuge in the last nine months, according to the community advocacy group Citizens Acting for Rail Safety (CARS).
The next day, 13 DOT-111 tankers with upgraded safety features derailed in Watertown, Wis., spilling crude oil and forcing residents to evacuate from properties along the CP tracks. Four days later, another train derailed a mere 400 feet from that spill site.
Train derailment, Watertown, Wisconsin << fox6now.com
How can we possibly feel safe with ever-greater amounts of toxic products hurtling down inadequately maintained infrastructure every single day? A report released last week by the Waterkeeper Alliance found that "[s]ince 2008, oil train traffic has increased over 5,000 percent along rail routes … There has also been a surge in the number of oil train derailments, spills, fires, and explosions. More oil was spilled from trains in 2013 than in the previous 40 years combined."
Emergency management has become routine rather than remedial. Teams show up, "contain" the spills, replace some track, and the trains roll on. With forecasts that Canadian oil production will expand by 60,000 barrels per day this year, and an additional 90,000 barrels per day in 2016, toxic rail traffic shows no signs of decreasing.
Energy giant Enbridge has taken this as its cue to size up northern Minnesota and plot pipeline (through Ojibwe tribal lands and the largest wild rice bed in the world) between the North Dakota Bakken oil fields and refineries in Wisconsin and Illinois. Its momentum depends on us puzzling over the false dichotomy of choosing to move oil by pipeline or by rail. At the June 3 Public Utilities Commission hearing, it admitted the proposed Sandpiper/Line 3 pipeline corridor will not alleviate railway congestion but rather potentially reduce "future traffic." It uses this assumption of unregulated growth to make people today think they have no choice but to sell out the generations of tomorrow.
Proponents of the line want us to choose our poison: will it be more explosive trains or more explosive trains and leaky pipelines? What if an oil tanker derailed on Huff Street in the middle of rush-hour traffic and we became the next Lac-Mégantic (where an oil train exploded downtown killing 47 people)? What if a hard-to-access pipeline spewed fracked crude oil into the headwaters of the Mississippi River?
The real harm is in the delusion that we should accept and live with these risks. It is delusional that despite repeated derailments and toxic spills, business should continue as usual. It is delusional to think the oil and rail industry have our communities' best interests at heart.
We have the vision, the intelligence, and the technology to choose a way forward that does not compromise our resources for the generations to come. As Winona Laduke says, "I want an elegant transition. I want to walk out of my tepee, an elegant indigenous design, into a Tesla, into an electric car, an elegant western design." Fossil fuels are history. We need to keep them in the ground and pursue sustainable energy alternatives or risk destroying the water and habitat on which all our lives depend.

Templeton California retired fire chief: 'Do not understate risk of oil trains'

Retired Templeton fire chief: Do not understate risk of oil trains
• Despite training, emergency responders may not be able to prevent hundreds of fatalities in a derailment
• Highly flammable Canadian crude more dangerous than California crude
• Project should be denied if safety requirements can't be enforced
By Greg O'Sullivan, October 23, 2015
Columnist John Peschong in his Aug. 23 column "Local responders are up to task" describes the extensive training and dedication of our emergency responders. This (in his opinion) means "emergency medical technicians and fire crews stand ready to protect us from any disaster," including an oil train derailment and fire.
Greg O'Sullivan, Retired Templeton Fire Chief
Having retired from the fire service after 38 years in the profession, as well as being a qualified hazmat technician and hazmat incident commander, I feel I can speak with greater authority about the ability of local responders to respond to an oil train derailment involving a fire and/or spill.
Mr. Peschong is correct when he states that many hours and dollars have been spent to train our emergency responders and they are capable of mitigating most emergencies. What he doesn't explain is that an oil train derailment involving multicar fires in a highly populated area could result in hundreds of deaths, despite herculean efforts of first responders. For the incident commander of a hazmat incident, the team's first responsibility is the safety of the public and our responders. In the case of a multiple car derailment involving fire, evacuation would be the highest priority.
If a life hazard exists, efforts focus on fire suppression to protect rescue operations. The area is isolated, and mutual aid as well as other authorities are notified to assist in the emergency. If evacuation has been successful and no further life hazard exists, then, and only then, could tactical decisions be made concerning whether or not fire suppression should be attempted, or whether the fire should be allowed to burn. It should be noted the closest Type 1 or 2 hazmat team is in Santa Barbara County.
Phillips 66 recently delivered beautifully designed surveys to some area residents expounding the virtues of its oil train project. But nowhere does it explain that approval of the project means five oil trains per week coming through San Luis Obispo County, each train pulling 80 tank cars filled with highly flammable Canadian crude oil. (That would be 500 million gallons per year.)
Al Fonzi in his Oct. 9 Viewpoint "Fear campaign against Phillips" declares that the tar sands crude oil (dilbit) Phillips 66 wants to transport from Canada is no more dangerous than the California crude from San Ardo that has been transported through the county by train for several decades. Mr. Fonzi bases this claim on the fact that the Canadian crude and San Ardo crude have similar vapor pressures.
Vapor pressure is only one measure of the hazard of a liquid. Fire professionals are far more familiar with flash point as the main determinant of flammability of a liquid. The flash point of California crude, like that found in San Ardo, ranges 199 to 232 degrees Fahrenheit (MSDS Product 94-0007-02). In contrast, the flashpoint of Canadian crude is reported to be minus 30 degrees (MSDS Heavy Crude/Diluent mix), comparable to gasoline at minus 42 degrees, both of which are considered highly flammable.
An oil train derailment involving multicar fires in a highly populated area could result in hundreds of deaths, despite herculean efforts of first responders.
Suppose a derailment involves only a spill. What would a single car rupture spilling 30,000 gallons of oil in the Salinas River do to the water supply of Atascadero, Templeton and Paso Robles? The train tracks parallel the Salinas. Mr. Fonzi says opponents of the oil trains are running a "cynical campaign to terrorize the public."
It is unfair and inaccurate to label the many organizations and individuals who oppose the Phillips 66 oil train project as uninformed, fearful citizens. Opponents of the oil train project include such well-respected bodies as the League of Women Voters, National Education Association and 40 public bodies including city councils, school boards, fire chiefs' organizations and elected officials, as well as the editorial board of The Tribune.
The final Environmental Impact Report is nearing completion, which will bring the project before the Planning Commission. Because of the serious local and regional safety issues of the project, I agree with and support the League of Women Voters that the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors must "insist upon full and enforceable mitigations" for all risks, and that if these safety requirements cannot be enforced by the county, the project should be denied.
As a retired fire service professional, I believe protecting the safety of communities along the rail corridor outweighs any perceived benefit of the project. Don't be misled by PR firms (similar to the one John Peschong represents) who are paid to spin the topic for Phillips 66. Please take the time to get the facts for yourself.
Greg O'Sullivan spent 38 years in the fire service, including 12 years as Templeton fire chief. After retiring, he served four years on the Board of Directors of the Templeton Community Services District.

Il fulgore di Dony è un film per la televisione diretto da Pupi Avati. È andato in onda il 29 maggio 2018 in prima visione su Rai 1.

Trama
Donata Chesi, detta Dony, è un'adolescente di diciassette anni che vive e studia a Bologna e coltiva la passione per la danza classica e il sogno di diventare una scrittrice, oltre ad essere la prima della classe.

La narrazione del film si svolge davanti ad uno psichiatra, al quale Dony racconta la vicenda di cui è protagonista insieme a Marco Ghia, un ragazzo conosciuto un anno prima. I due si incontrano casualmente nel cortile del palazzo dove abita Dony, mentre Marco è intento a recuperare un drone finito su un albero. Dopo un primo incrocio di sguardi, Dony se ne innamora.

Un giorno, Marco ha un incidente mentre sta sciando insieme al padre, nel quale subisce un trauma cranico che gli provoca un danno permanente in alcune parti del cervello. Marco non è più la stessa persona, viene abbandonato dai suoi amici, non esce più di casa ed è diventato aggressivo, oltre al fatto che le sue capacità cognitive e motorie regrediscono con il passare dei giorni.

Dony vuole comunque vederlo a tutti i costi, ma una volta giunta a casa del ragazzo si rende conto della situazione. Cerca quindi ogni espediente per dimenticarlo, senza riuscirci.

I due ragazzi diventano quindi inseparabili, ma ciò non viene capito dai genitori di lei che, anzi, fanno di tutto per ostacolarla.

Dony, sentendosi inascoltata ed emarginata, inizia a trascurare la scuola e la danza. I genitori, vedendo lo scarso profitto scolastico della figlia, prendono la decisione di mandarla da uno psichiatra. Solo in seguito essi si renderanno conto di aver commesso degli errori nei suoi confronti e si rassegneranno all'idea di non averla capita sin dai primi segnali.

Nonostante il continuo progredire della malattia di Marco, lui e Dony scelgono di sposarsi.

Località
Il film è stato girato nelle prime settimane a Bologna, città natale di Pupi Avati, quindi  successivamente a Roma. La prima scena fu girata in piazza Galvani il 12 ottobre 2016.

Listen to the track below
"Ghost Town"
Philadelphia singer/songwriter Kurt Vile gets a lot of credit for writing compelling inkblot songs-- melancholy little blobs that gently probe the contours of a single bad mood. He's great at it, and he's written dozens of affecting variations on this tune. What he hasn't been given much credit for, and what hits hardest about "Ghost Town", from his upcoming Smoke Ring For My Halo, are his bitingly incisive lyrics. They drift by in a dazed mumble, and he often seems to be addressing them to a brick wall just over his left shoulder, so it's easy to let them slide past unnoticed. But to focus on them is to be startled.
"Ghost Town" churns along in a similar weightless middle space as Wilco's "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" but instead of Tweedy's earnest napkin poetry Vile gives us muttered, inscrutable darts, a series of private jokes for an audience of one. "I got friends-- hey waitaminnit, where was I?" he muses. And: "Christ was born, I was there/ You know me, I'm around." There's no epigrammatic flourish, no set-up to a satisfying kicker, like there might be in a Destroyer or Bill Callahan song: Vile isn't the kind of lyricist to triumphantly underline his point, or to even worry about making a coherent one.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's doing: his sidelong jabs pile up, and as "Ghost Town"'s two chords sprout into distortion and a cascading harp figure glints in the background, they gain powerful resonance. By the time he croons, "I think I'm never gonna leave my couch again/ Cuz when I'm out, I'm only in my mind," his spiritual heirs are clear: he's not trying to break your heart. He's a negative creep. And a loser, baby. And he's stoned.

Publisher: AK
S.C.U.M. Manifesto
Aside from being a deranged homicidal dyke, the late Valerie Solanas was also a visionary social theorist. Before she became infamous as the would-be assassin of Andy Warhol, Valerie, already well established as a conspicuous daub of lower Manhattan's local color, founded the one-woman terrorist organization S.C.U.M. (Society for Cutting Up Men) and wrote the S.C.U.M. Manifesto, a wonderfully toxic anti-capitalist, lesbian separatist rant that puts the blame squarely where it belongs: on those fucked-up male chauvinist pigs! S.C.U.M. sends out a clarion call to "civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex." Other targets: hippies, "great art," fatherhood, politeness, "pussy." She cobbles out her thesis in such a charmingly autocratic style that even her more dubious notions (sex is out in her utopia) read like common sense. And just because a few billion people would have to be butchered to implement her plan doesn't necessarily mean that she's wrong. Who needs Catherine McKinnon and Andrea Dworkin? Pick up S.C.U.M. Manifesto and learn the real definition of "feminazi." MG
Test Card F: Television, Mythinformation and Social Control
"A graphic demolition derby through the culture of a factory-farmed and show-shocked society, a society whose sell-by date has long since expired. Using savage image/text cut-and-paste this controversial book explodes all previous media theories and riots through the Global Village, looting the ideological supermarkets of all its products: anti-fascism, Malcolm X, James Bulger, the Gulf War, satanic abuse, Somalia and Eastern Europe. Test Card F joyrides in front of the surveillance cameras, amid the rubble of a junkyard nation, and heaves television's burnt-out carcass through the plate-glass shop window of 'independent' video and 'community access' broadcasting. It transcends postmodern and Situationist analysis in its positive refusal of the concept of Truth." AK

Anarchy in the U.K.: The Angry Brigade
Tom Vague
Germany spawned the Red Army Faction; Italy, the Red Brigades; France, Action Directe; the United States, the Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army… Britain had the Angry Brigade. Much more than a small group of individuals, the Angry Brigade was a movement that challenged reaction and state power in all its forms. Part of a general European resistance movement, its was an armed offensive grounded in substantial popular support. No leaders, do it yourself… Here, in Tom Vague's notorious, barbed, pop-culture style, is the story of Britain's premier revolutionary hooligans. Draws extensively on the Angry Brigade's communiqués, along with both the underground/countercultural and mainstream press of the late '60s through the early '70s, and police and court documents. AK
Neither God Nor Master
Daniel Guerin
This is the first English translation of Guerin's monumental anthology of anarchism. It details, through a vast array of hitherto unpublished documents, writings, letters and reports, the history, organization and practice of the anarchist movement as well as its theorists, advocates and activists. AK
Reinventing Anarchy, Again
Edited by Howard Ehrlich
Brings together the major currents of social anarchist theory in a collection of some of the movement's important writers from the U.S., Canada, England and Australia. The book opens with an exploration of the past and future possibilities of anarchism; then moves to consider the "necessity" of the state and bureaucratic organization as well as the meaning of the "anarchist contract." The third of the theoretical sections tackles the hard questions for social anarchists confronting the foundations of libertarian socialist and liberal democratic thought. AK
Social Anarchism or Lifestyle Anarchism: An Unbridgeable Chasm
Murray Bookchin
At times Bookchin looks like an angry grampa lamenting for the good old days of the traditional Left, yet he makes some good points and vital distinctions concerning different forms of anarchism past and present. Bookchin's assault on the work of Michel Foucault and Hakim Bey (to mention two) are for the most part reductive yet humorous. The great observation Bookchin makes here is that there is a huge reinvestment in ego-driven existentialism among members of the "X Generation" who flaunt an anarchist identity. What he describes as lifestyle anarchy deservedly sounds like good old American individualism. Bookchin points out the vital social content in the anarchist ideas of Bakunin and Kropotkin and cites significant events such as the Spanish anarchist struggle of the 1930s as elements not to be overlooked when considering anarchy as a viable option. KH
The Struggle Against the State and Other Essays
Nestor Makhno
Makhno was a Ukrainian peasant revolutionary who for several years before, during and after the Russian Revolution successfully led an anarchist army which fought against both the Bolsheviks and the White counterrevolutionaries. From exile in Paris, Makhno aggressively refuted allegations of anti-Semitism and of having conducted pogroms in essays like "To the Jews of All Countries," and commemorated the tragic fate of the workers in Kronstadt, who fought the Red Army in 1921 to try to implement the Bolshevik proclamations regarding equality and worker autonomy. These essays are the hard-won insights of a fighting anarchist who could clearly the see totalitarian realities behind the propaganda of the early Soviet era. In his essay "The ABC of the Revolutionary Anarchist," Makhno writes, "Experience of practical struggle strengthened my conviction that anarchism educates man in a living way. It is a teaching every bit as revolutionary as life, and it is a teaching every bit as varied and potent in its manifestations as man's creative existence and, indeed, is intimately bound up with that." SS
To Remember Spain: The Anarchist and Syndicalist Revolution of 1936
Like most of Bookchin's writing, this book is delivered clearly and easily like a union speech, generous with emotion as well as relevant dates, people and statistics. Bookchin includes some fine descriptions of peasant-based governing structures developed out of particular circumstance and need in resistance to centralized governing structures which overtake and oppress. Bookchin also describes the factioning and Stalinism which pitted Communist against Communist against anarchist, sabotaging the entire effort of the Spanish people to avoid a brutal dictatorship under Franco. This period in Spain was a brief moment that produced radical social forms which actually worked. Bookchin has written a most enthusiastic guide for this vital set of events. KH


Morrisons Supermarkets has been fined £17,500 after a worker fractured her elbow when she slipped at a store in Ipswich.
In June 2008, an environmental health officer from Ipswich Borough Council made a routine visit to a Morrisons store in Sproughton Road. She warned the store's management about a potential slip hazard behind one of the food counters, where smooth terrazzo tiles had been installed. The tiles are highly polished and smooth and become extremely slippery when oil or grease is split on them. The store's risk assessment had identified the issue but had failed to introduce any control measures.
The EHO recommended that the company either provide workers with protective footwear, or add a resin coating to the floor to increase slip resistance.
On 4 December 2008, an employee at the store slipped on some tiles, which were positioned behind a counter in the oven-fresh area, after there was a spillage of grease. She suffered a serious fracture to her right elbow and had to undergo three operations to repair the damage. She was unable to return to work for seven months and still suffers constant pain in her elbow.
As part of the investigation into the incident the council worked with experts from the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) to measure the slip resistance of the tiles. The results showed that there was a high risk of slips when the floor was contaminated with water, or oil.
Ipswich Borough Council issued three Improvement Notices to the supermarket for failing to take action to protect workers from slipping on the tiles in three separate areas at the store.
WM Morrison Supermarkets plc appeared at Ipswich Magistrates' Court on 5 September and pleaded guilty to breaching s2(1) of the HSWA 1974. In addition to the fine it was ordered to pay full costs of £32,482.

A Place To Bury Strangers – Hologram EP

Dedstrange Records – 16th July 2021
It's been a while since we last heard from New York's purveyors of treble-blasting psychedelic post-punk noise – they slipped album number five, Pinned out back in the spring of 2018, since when they've been relatively quiet. Not that one of the contenders for the 'loudest band in the world' tag ever do quiet, in terms of volume of output, with an EP and self-released single in 2019.
The Hologram EP is the first release with a new lineup, whereby core member Oliver Ackermann is joined by John Fedowitz (bass) and Sandra Fedowitz (drums) of Ceremony East Coast, and comes from a difficult place at a difficult time, 'with songs addressing the decay of connections, friendships lost, and the trials and tribulations of these troubled times, Hologram serves as an abstract mirror to the moment we live in', details the press release. The tone is pretty apocalyptic: 'Written and recorded during the on-going global pandemic and in the midst of the decline of civilization, Hologram is a sonic vaccine to the horrors of modern life.'
And if Pinned was perhaps their most overtly 80s-sounding release, Hologram pushes the experimentalism that began to become pronounced from Transfixiation while amalgamating all of the elements that have featured across their career to date.
Previous singles 'End of the Night' and 'I Might Have' provide the opening salvoes: the former's murky percussion-driven blast of noise is a bassy, booming, raw slice of fucked up psychedelia. Everything is warped, melting, overloading, like MBV covering The Monkees, and the latter being pretty much classic APTBS, a blur of three-chord rock 'n' roll riffing – the Jesus and Mary Chain as filtered through Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – minus any desire for even the slightest hint of polish.
'Playing the Part' is short, a melodic indie jangle with a light, easy melody and a melancholy that belies the breeziness as it emanates from the frayed edges. 'In My Hive' revisits the form of 'Now It's Over' from Transfixiation, only it goes somewhere else – and if Transfixiation pushed the boundaries of songs that felt incomplete, fragmentary, as if the structures are only partial and prone to cracking and splintering apart as they go, then the Hive is being used as a piñata by some crazed maniacs, and all the while the insistent beat hammers away like a palpating heart in the midst of a panic attack.
Things gets slower and dreamier with the slow-unfurling shoegaze wisps of closer 'I Need You'. With a Cure-like wistfulness, it's again familiar territory, particularly in context of Pinned, but also songs like 'Dissolved' from Worship. Where this differs, again, is in the production: the brutal shards of feedback still swirl and soak the bass and vocals and at times almost bury the sparse drums, but whereas before the EQ was geared toward the top-end and walls of ear-splitting treble, there's a lot of mid- and lower-range present here, which creates a more subdued and less attacking sound.
As with everything APTBS do, it sounds distinctively like ABPTBS, but once again, sounds and feels different, and the mood on Hologram is as much the departure as any aspect of the songwriting or sound itself. Whereas there has historically been a sense of obliterative catharsis about the shattering noise that defines their catalogue, Hologram feels darker and more introspective, and it feels fitting.

The Cultural Marxists know: in order to control a country, you must first control the country's language. Just rename something, and you can change minds. For example, "gay" sounds much friendlier than "homosexual." And "undocumented immigrant" sounds much less severe than "illegal alien." [Article].

Christina Mackie
CAS import January 27, 2012 Artist to Watch, News
We are delighted to announce an exciting new benefit for Contemporary Art Society members. Every month we will feature an Artist to Watch: this regular showcase will briefly explore the practice of an emerging artist whose work we would like to draw to your attention. To begin our new series it is a pleasure to present the work of Christina Mackie and we strongly encourage you to find out more!
Mackie's practice consists of a considered exploration of relativity and the contingency of meaning using a materials based language. While her artistic investigation at-large emphasises subtle and incidental connections in an attempt to give physical manifestation to the nature of thought. Given the subjective manner in which emotive and intellectual responses are formed, Mackie's recent table works function in a comparable way to a musical score: physical and material notes give rise to an atmosphere, a mood or an 'emotional landscape'. Disrupting the notion of the discrete art work or object, Mackie's practice proposes a creative process which emphasises an understanding of artistic meaning created by synthesising a string of ideas, associations, sentiments and sensations in a non-hierarchical and open-ended fashion.
Christina Mackie, in partnership with Nottingham Castle Gallery and Museum, is the 2011 winner of the Contemporary Art Society's Annual Award commission to collect. Her current solo presentation, Painting the Weights, continues at the Chisenhale Gallery until the 12 March 2012. Previous exhibitions have included The large huts at Tate Britain (2007) and the British Art Show 6 (2005 – 06). In 2010 she received the Paul Hamlyn Award for Artists and was the winner of Beck's Futures in 2005.

TV Review: 'Veep' Season 7
The HBO comedy tries to stay ahead of the times with Selina Meyer running for president.

Once upon a time, "Veep" was cathartic. When it premiered in 2012, it made the nasty subtext of government clashes, usually relegated to back chambers and CSPAN, excoriating text. It decoded the grim smiles of politicians in the most cynical way possible, laying bare the ways in which they can twist the system in order to fit their most basic, selfish needs. Running for office and maintaining power, "Veep" insisted at every turn, require inflated egos and incredible ruthlessness, just as the rest of us plebes may have always suspected.
But its final season is bowing in 2019, three years after Donald Trump became a leading force in politics and blew the conventions of political theater wide open. The time-honored tradition of passive aggression couldn't win out over his extreme aggression towards everyone and everything that stood in his way, and so here we are in this grave new world of overt hostility. The cast and creatives of "Veep" have had to answer a million questions about how prescient the show was about our current mess, but in the most crucial ways, "Veep" didn't, in fact, see a bombastic showman like Trump coming.
Film Review: 'Bottom of the 9th'
Off Broadway Review: 'Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow'
The seventh and final season of "Veep," premiering March 31 after a two-year hiatus, does its best to adjust to the new times even though it exists in a parallel universe without Trump (and indeed, without specified parties). After creator Armando Iannucci left the series in David Mandel's hands, the listless sixth season saw Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) stranded in civilian life after an embarrassing White House flameout; both the characters and show itself seemed lost at sea.
But this last batch of episodes refocuses by turning to the singularly ridiculous process of launching a presidential campaign — a smart pivot that suits the show well, especially for a final season. (After all: no matter how endless a campaign might seem, it will come to a definitive end, one way or another.) It also gives the ace supporting cast plenty of opportunities to have some eleventh hour fun as their characters scramble for the kind of glory that seemed impossible in season 6.
Particularly sharp this year are Anna Chlumsky as Selina's right-hand woman Amy and Reid Scott as ex-morning show host Dan, both more ruthless than ever even as they're reluctantly feeling their age. Gary Cole and Kevin Dunn as Selina's exhausted experts remain a solid pair to counterbalance everyone else's mania, as does Matt Walsh as Selina's hapless communications advisor, now on the outs and working as an overwhelmed reporter for Buzzfeed. And as Jonah, a gangly congressional aide turned unlikely congressman turned unlikelier presidential candidate, series standout Timothy Simons gets to tap into the particularly weird sideshow of a fringe campaign — and the unnerving speed with which enough attention can legitimize it.
On the other side of the morality spectrum, bagman Gary (Tony Hale), wandering aide Richard Splett (Sam Richardson), Selina's daughter Catherine (Sarah Sutherland) and daughter-in-law Marjorie (Clea DuVall) skirt the borders of the political maelstrom, their sporadic decency both complementing and highlighting the depravity within. Best returning guest star honors, an inevitably hard-fought battle in this final season, so far go to Hugh Laurie as Tom James, Selina's erstwhile rival and most fervent flame.
In the first few episodes of the new season, pretty much everyone in the "Veep" cast gets a moment in which to show off the breadth of their skill, ripping into the show's signature waterfalls of profanity with relish. Selina on the campaign trail is a familiar mode for the show and one it does well. Louis-Dreyfus now wears Selina's calculating desperation like a second skin, making moments like her ripping apart the new, warm and fuzzier vanguard of her party both familiar and startling in the best ways.
But seven seasons in, much of the novelty of "Veep's" signature viciousness has worn off. It's not necessarily the show's fault that it now exists when the politics of cruelty rules the day, but it does, and the strain of trying to parody it shows. The series' response to the hyperbolic times largely seems to be upping the ante of its own ferocity to match, but that can only sustain a scene for so long before it flatlines from exhaustion. There's nothing gained from watching Selina and her cohorts breathe a sigh of relief when a mass shooting happens to overshadow their latest disaster, except perhaps further confirming that they'd stoop to anything to win. We already knew that; so what now?
"Veep" premieres Sunday, March 31 at 10:30 pm EST on HBO.

Nine ways federal marijuana laws are limiting rights of residents in legal weed states
While he was celebrating the end of a massive year for his cannabis-focused company Terra Tech, Derek Peterson was also scrambling to cope with some bad news.
His Newport Beach business had raised close to $20 million in capital to produce and sell marijuana products across the country, tripled the number of people it employs and applauded as Californians voted to legalize recreational marijuana in 2016. But Peterson also learned that the company managing payroll and health benefits for Terra Tech was abruptly dropping them Dec. 31 because they no longer wanted to support the cannabis industry.
"The decision came out of nowhere," he said. "We have almost 200 employees that spent their holiday season stressed about the possibility of not having their health benefits available in the new year, let alone a reliable pay schedule."
It was disheartening, he said. But it was also nothing new, with many of the victories he's experienced dampened by setbacks stemming from the federal government's unwavering position on marijuana and the stigma it creates.
Federal law still classifies cannabis as a Schedule I narcotic, a category reserved for drugs such as heroin that are said to be highly addictive and have no medical value.
There's been no movement to ease that stance even though polls show a record-high number of Americans now believe marijuana should be legal, 28 states permit medical marijuana and eight more plus Washington, D.C. allow recreational use.
Expectation that Californians legalizing cannabis with Proposition 64 might serve as a tipping point for federal change began to fade once Republicans gained control of both branches of government and President Donald Trump chose staunch marijuana opponent Jeff Sessions for Attorney General.
The ongoing conflict with federal law can impact everything from housing to healthcare for individuals who opt to take advantage of state policies allowing them to medicate or recreate with cannabis, according to Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, or NORML.
The conflict also means Californians and residents of other legal weed states who want to operate businesses in the industry face problems with banking, taxes and more.
"It's a serious hindrance," said John Hudak, a senior fellow with the Brookings Institution who specializes in marijuana policy. "It creates a scenario in which companies are able to get up and running but not operate like a normal business does."
Here are nine ways the federal status of marijuana is impacting both everyday cannabis consumers and people attempting to work in the industry, no matter what their state law says.
1. EMPLOYMENT
Since employment in the United States is largely "at-will," companies can choose to fire workers over marijuana consumption regardless of state or federal laws. And Prop. 64 explicitly states that California employers remain free to penalize workers who test positive for marijuana use, even if there's no indication they were actually high on the job.
But national laws mean federal agencies don't have a choice: Their employees can't consume marijuana, even in their off-hours. And neither can many categories of workers who are in federally regulated fields, such as people who work in the transportation or healthcare industries.
"While the cultural and legal status of marijuana has changed dramatically," Armentano said, "marijuana testing policies in the workplace haven't evolved."
The conflict can also create ethical dilemmas for professionals. Doctors worry about losing licenses to practice medicine if they recommend medical marijuana. And attorneys who advise cannabis businesses in compliance with state laws fear they'll be disbarred since they aren't allowed to help clients break federal law.
2. HOUSING
No one who is in Section 8 or other federally-subsidized housing is allowed to use marijuana.
"From a federal perspective, marijuana continues to be illegal. And so its use in federally assisted housing is also considered to be illegal," said Brian Sullivan, spokesman for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
How those rules are actually carried out is left up to local housing authorities, Sullivan said.
Suzie Ruelas, housing manager for the Baldwin Park Housing Authority, said her agency doesn't drug test or ask residents when they apply for housing assistance whether they use marijuana. But if someone files a complaint or if one of her agents sees evidence of cannabis use during a home inspection, it can become a disqualifying factor.
Renters who don't get federal subsidies can still face eviction even if they're consuming or growing marijuana in compliance with Prop. 64 if their lease prohibits "illicit" drugs, according to San Diego employment and business lawyer Christina Semmer.
"Of course, pro-marijuana tenants would argue that marijuana is legal under California law," Semmer said. "But landlords can still point to the fact that marijuana is illegal under federal law."
As an open cannabis consumer, life and dating coach Molly Peckler of Venice Beach said she had to do lots of research to find an insurance company that would take her on without charging her hefty premiums similar to ones faced by tobacco smokers – even though no research suggests cannabis consumption poses equal health risks.
When Peterson applied for a $5 million personal life insurance policy last summer, he was worried he'd be denied coverage following prerequisite blood tests, since he uses medical cannabis for pain associated with a surfing accident years ago.
But before he could even take the tests, Mutual of Omaha sent him a letter saying they couldn't offer him a policy because they can't accept premium payments from anyone "associated with the marijuana industry." A spokesman for the company declined to elaborate.
Other open cannabis consumers and entrepreneurs have reported issues in getting liability and property insurance for their businesses, health insurance and auto insurance.
4. BANKING
While some local banks and credit unions are quietly taking on marijuana businesses, major banks and credit card companies still won't service the industry out of fear they'll be penalized for money laundering.
That's created a cash industry ripe for illegal activity. And it makes it tough for companies that work in multiple states to keep funds in the regulated financial system.
California State Treasurer John Chiang in December formed a working group focused on finding ways to provide banking services for the cannabis industry.
But Armentano says states are fairly limited in what they can do to address the issue, with other legal weed states that have tried and so far failed to create an end-run around the federal banking issue.
5. MILITARY SERVICE
Despite the promise marijuana has shown in treating PTSD and chronic pain, active members of the military still can't use cannabis without jeopardizing their positions.
"Fifty of us are dying from suicide every day," said Roger Martin, founder of the organization Grow for Vets, which fights to make medical marijuana an option for service members. "If anybody has earned the right to decide what they want to medicate with, it's the American heroes."
There's recently been progress both in giving veterans access to medical marijuana and in making it possible for people who've previously consumed cannabis to enlist.
The U.S. Air Force earlier this month announced prior marijuana use will no longer disqualify potential recruits. And the branch said it also won't consider how long it's been since consumption took place when evaluating applicants.
Veterans can no longer be denied healthcare through the Department of Veterans Affairs if they are medical cannabis users. But VA health providers still can't recommend cannabis for any conditions.
6. GUN OWNERSHIP
Medical marijuana patients don't have a Second Amendment right to own a gun, according to a federal appeals court decision that came down in August.
The decision came in a lawsuit filed by Nevada resident and medical marijuana card holder S. Rowan Wilson. She said a gun shop in 2011 refused to sell her a weapon for self defense, citing a federal law against selling firearms to "illegal" drug users.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in its decision cited a conclusion by Congress that marijuana and other drug use "raises the risk of irrational or unpredictable behavior with which gun use should not be associated."
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives solidified that position earlier this month, when it added a line to a new version of the form aspiring gun owners must complete that states marijuana is still illegal under federal law.
The NRA has been silent on the issue and did not respond to a request for comment.
Cannabis consumers occasionally report difficulty accessing some medical procedures or participating in healthcare programs.
"We continue to hear of issues with regard to those who are suffering from chronic pain who are prescribed opioids then test positive for marijuana and get kicked out of their pain management programs," Armentano said.
Same goes for pregnant mothers who use medical marijuana to cope with debilitating nausea, he said.
Cannabis consumers have also struggled for many years to be considered candidates for needed organ transplants.
California was one of the first states to address that issue, passing a bill in 2015 that made it illegal to deny transplants based solely on a patient's marijuana use. But cannabis consumption remains a determining factor for transplant candidates in a majority of states.
8. BUSINESS SERVICES
Along with being dropped by his payroll provider, Peterson said he's faced issues over the years in getting an attorney and a certified public accountant to service his company.
Cannabis companies also can't advertise on many popular platforms, Peckler pointed out, including Google and Facebook – despite the fact that the first president of Facebook, Sean Parker, bankrolled much of the Prop. 64 campaign.
Other cannabis industry professionals report trouble getting landlords to give them a lease, finding air conditioning companies willing to install new systems, hiring construction companies who will build out their businesses, getting investors to sign on and more.
"There remain a good number of companies or individuals who do not want to partner with a company involved in that industry because they worry about their own hide," Hudak said. "That creates roadblock after roadblock after roadblock. And they stem entirely out of the federal prohibition on marijuana."
Though the federal government says marijuana is illegal, businesses still have to pay taxes to the IRS. But under a tax rule imposed during the Reagan Administration's 1980s anti-drug war, businesses dealing in Schedule I or II substances are prohibited from writing off common expenses such as rent, utilities or advertising.
Harborside Health Center, a large Oakland dispensary, has been battling the IRS over the rule for five years, after being assessed $2.4 million for illegal deductions. A decision in that case is expected in mid-2017.
Congress could take action to reverse tax rule 280E. But in the 20 years he's been tracking the industry, Armentano pointed out no marijuana-related bill has even made it to a vote at the subcommittee level. So, while he thinks the banking and tax policy issues are likely to be the first addressed by federal legislators, he's not holding his breath.
"At the end of the day, the federal law has to change in a manner that comports with the rapidly changing legal and cultural status of marijuana on the state level," Armentano said. "Until that happens, these conflicts will continue to exist."

Plenums
The Central Committee was not a permanent institution. It convened plenary sessions. 12 CC plenary sessions were held between the 25th Congress and the 26th Congress. When the CC was not in session, decision-making power was vested in the internal bodies of the CC itself; that is, the Politburo and the Secretariat. None of these bodies were permanent either; typically they convened several times a month.

DVD review by John Adams
"There's strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold..."
— Robert Service, The Cremation of Sam McGee
The poet Robert Service knew a thing or two about men who run off to the Arctic to get rich quick. He would have immediately recognized the Siberian hunters of mammoths seen in Genesis 2.0 as kindred spirits to his own gold-rush boys of the Klondike. Only today it is not gold that these arctic fortune hunters are after but fossil ivory from long-gone mammoths... Ivory appropriately called, "white gold." Highly prized as the only legal source for the international ivory trade, mammoth tusks can make a poor Siberian relatively wealthy overnight.
Genesis 2.0, directed by Christian Frei and co-directed by Maxim Arbugaev, is now out on DVD from Icarus Films and gives us a glimpse into the lives of Siberian Mammoth hunters and a lot more.
Keep in mind the last mammoths died in isolated Arctic obscurity around the time the pyramids of Egypt were being assembled and the mammoths being hunted in Genesis 2.0 are much older than that, more on the order of 40,000 years ago. The valuable tusks of these extinct hairy cousins of elephants are preserved in the perpetual ice box of northern Siberia. All you have to do to become a mammoth hunter is go to one of the most remote, least habitable places on Earth and start probing the permafrost during the few weeks of summer when the ground is exposed. You can expect to walk and probe a lot and you will run out of food. If summer ends early, you may freeze. You will also have to keep an eye out for random polar bears. Technically, the polar bear does not eat in the summer but with global warming and all, polar bears are not getting enough to eat out on the winter ice pack and, well, a bear has to adapt.
Mammoth tusks are not the only thing the permafrost preserves and in rare instances, parts or all of a frozen mammoth can be found. It is at this point that Genesis 2.0 really gets going and a second cast of characters are introduced. These are also men who are obsessed in a hunt, but in this case the search for a living cell from a frozen mammoth. With that live cell, they hope a mammoth clone can be created and mammoths could rise Lazarus-like from their icy grave and walk the Earth once more. What could go wrong here?
Awkwardly for the film's continuity, a third group of obsessed hunters also appear in Genesis 2.0. This time it is the men and women who are engineering genetics. We get a brief glimpse into the world of bioengineering where we see an ever-expanding army of young geneticists gathering in Boston to have some sort of yearly college-level competition/science project throw down. We're not exactly sure how the completion is judged but all the young people are filled with flashing-eyed enthusiasm for hacking biology. Again, what could go wrong here?
For the bioengineers, the frozen mammoths are of interest because of their DNA, which is still viable. (And indeed, the gene sequencing of mammoths has already happened, although that's not mentioned in Genesis 2.0.) And from that information it could be theoretically possible to create a "cold resistant" elephant. In other words, a mammoth reborn. Again, what could go wrong here?
At this point in the film, the viewer is left juggling three storylines loosely linked by the common denominator of prehistoric mammoths. Christian Frei directed the cloning and gene splicing parts and Maxim Arbugaev the mammoth hunters. All three are pretty good stories, but do all three make for one good documentary? Maybe not. But shout out to Frei for giving new filmmaker Arbugaev an opportunity to show his work.
Most compelling to me was the story of the mammoth hunters themselves. In this documentary within a documentary, co-director Maxim Arbugaev beautifully composes a portrait of one Siberian crew's summer on the islands of Novosibirsk (New Siberia). Men who are (to again quote Service) "Half dead things in a stark dead world, clean mad for the muck called gold."
These are the guys who do all of the heavy lifting and take the biggest chances in the ivory marketplace only to get the smallest share of the market value of the ivory tusks. This story alone is reason enough to see Genesis 2.0.
The examples of unfairness and folly of the Free Market threads its way through all three narratives. In the cloning section we meet Hwang Woo Sun, a onetime disgraced biologist who's made a comeback of sorts cloning dogs for the rich. Did Fido kick the bucket? No problem, just pony up $10,000 and get a new copy. Two, actually. (Is the second a backup/insurance policy?) The cost of a cloned dog is more than any mammoth hunter could reasonably expect to earn in a whole summer's moiling for white gold.
Perhaps even more sinister is the Big Bio of the company BGI and the China National Gene Bank, which seems free of any ethical second thoughts about their turning genetics into a business and further commodifying life.
The Chinese continue to have bad optics when they show up as the biggest buyers of the mammoth ivory. Admittedly, the mammoth hunters are enticed to do what they do by the money the Chinese are paying for the fossils ivory but that money is only a fraction of what the final value of the ivory will be. We see entire mammoth tusks carved into intricate kitschy knickknacks that can be worth millions. These things are 200-pound dust-catching paperweights that put a new spin on the old term "white elephant."
You are going to be seeing and hearing more and more about the Siberia Arctic as global warming thaws its permafrost. Not only mammoth ivory but megatons of CO2, methane, and nitrogen are going to appear to dramatically change the composition of the Earth's atmosphere. It would be interesting to compare the amount of money spent on buying mammoth ivory to that spent on Arctic climate/permafrost research. While permafrost science may be a footnote to the story of ancient mammoths, perhaps mammoths should be the footnote to the bigger story of the permafrost thawing.


Push high-scoring pieces off the board and add them to your treasure chest.
One Icehouse stash for each player. No stash may have the same color as another stash.
Place the chessboard where everyone can reach it.
Give each player one complete stash.
On your turn, place a piece from your stash in a vacant space on the board. If there are any pieces in adjacent spaces (including diagonals), move them one space directly away from the piece you placed. You've just slammed a major impact onto the board, and it scattered nearby pieces.
If a moving piece attempts to enter an occupied space, allow it to, and push the occupying piece into the space beyond; this may cause entire rows of pieces to move.
If a piece attempts to leave the board, place it in your treasure chest—unless it's your color. If it's your color, put it in your stash.
Once all pieces have been relocated, your turn ends. Play passes to the left.
The game ends when all stashes are empty or when all players agree to stop playing.
Each piece has a point value equal to the number of pips on it (1, 2, or 3). Tally the points in your treasure chest and your stash. If your score is the highest, you win.
Three-unit pieces push other pieces three spaces. Two-unit pieces push other pieces two spaces. One-unit pieces push other pieces one space.
Blam! was first conceived by Jon Eargle at Monday Night Games Night around August of 2004. It took him about 15 minutes to develop from start to finish. If I remember correctly, he just decided to make an Icehouse game. Granted, he'd been surrounded by people playing Icehouse games for months, but it was a little startling nonetheless.
Thanks to the Monday Night Games group for playtesting. Thanks to Sharon for editing.


[00:00:00] Yes. We're now starting Book k, lower-case K, December 30th, 1974. Goes out to June of 1975. The beginning of this book is still continuing to work on different gel procedures, with a view, I recollect, to being able to sequence radioactive material available only in small quantity. So the first recognizable result is on pages 2 and 3, comparing a separation on an acrylamide gel, [00:01:00] polyacrylamide gel, that Byron Ballou had made, with the separation in a starch gel, of various iodinated preparations of beta‑2 microglobulin. And the gel staining is there and the autoradiograph. Quite clearly demonstrated.
And this is followed, on Monday, December 30th, page 4 and 5, by an experiment in which Byron had 14C-labeled mouse cells and ran on his gel, with polyacrylamide. And autoradiograph obtained. Beginning to test having anti-beta‑2 microglobulin on [00:02:00] Sepharose beads, on the following page, "Thursday, January 2nd, 1975!" exclamation mark, with some gels, again — looking, in this case, with a gel that became later a great favorite, a chlorohydrate gel — aluminum lactate chlorohydrate gel, which Byron had developed and which we published on, but sometime. The separations really were quite remarkably nice on page 12, two gels, one better than the other. But both are very good. And the autoradiographs [00:03:00] were fine.
Continuing then to look at the starch gels, on the next page, with, in this case, just beta‑2‑M labeled. Antibody B experiment repeated, on page 17. Usual way of repeating things many times. Slightly variable gels, horizontal versus vertical, a chlorohydrate gel. Which, the vertical one looks considerably nicer.
Specificity of the beads being tested, page 19. And a [00:04:00] bead capacity test on page 23 and so for– A column elution was looked at, on page 24 and 25, with a comment that this is the supernatant and the beads and the eluate from the beads, two gels, with a comment that "It's clear that the beads have a tremendous capacity and increase in specificity [of its record?], as the volume decreases. No limits seen in these tests." So we were quite encouraged. And going on in the same vein, compared Byron's 14C experiments with the GM‑17 and GM‑17 in [00:05:00] 60-dishes and in [roller?] bottles. Different experiments.
Bulk preparation of these samples, on page 29, January 24th, continuing this general way of the — labeling beta‑2 microglobulin in bulk, in this case with [3×50?] microcuries of 14C label. This was material that was being given to Dave McKean for his radioactive sequencing. [00:06:00] With a comment on page 30 that "About 11,000 counts were ma‑‑ total, enough only for one-day run on the sequenator." So we were using the sequenator to do radioactive sequencing. And continuing in the same vein, with more column, on January 30th. And repeat of absorption, on February 3rd. Columns, on February 5th and so forth, all continuing the same general pattern.
On February [00:07:00] 5th, Wednesday, we decided to label 200 microcuries of 35S methionine, [per the?] — and test each cultured strain from Kucherlapati. Now what has Kucherlapati got to do with this? Well, that isn't immediately clear from the notebook. But it is clear, if we look at the paper that eventually came out, in 1976, which was the first publication I had with Raju Kucherlapati and was, in fact, the beginning of a long and enjoyable collaboration, that extended to the time of gene targeting — so in 1976, so later than the book. But this is a prelude [00:08:00] to this work. Raju and all the others [over?] — assigned the gene for beta‑2 macroglobulin to human chromosome 15. And this was done by taking hybrid cell lines with different chromosomes in them, that Raju had developed in Frank Ruddle's lab. Frank Ruddle was an author in the paper, of cour– And then anti-beta‑2 microglobulin serum was coupled to beads to make the immunoabsorbent that we've been seeing in the notebook. And parental and hybrid cells are grown in medium containing 35S methionine, etc. And [00:09:00] the beads were eluted and the supernatant and the eluted material was looked at. And the gels were the chlorohydrate gels that are being used in this part of the notebook. So the chlorohydrate, the immunoabsorbent, and the ability of chlorohydrate gel to separate mouse from human beta‑2‑M was used to assign the locus for beta‑2 microglobulin to human chromosome 15. That was the best that could be done, in those days, was to put it to a chromosome, not a specific locu‑‑ on the chromosome. So here we're [00:10:00] continuing this work in this book.
[00:16:00] Here is a different approach being considered, on Monday, June the 2nd. "Glass beads/Sequemat, initial trial." That's a different type of sequenator. The aim, to get high-sensitivity, [cold?] sequencing working. And, "Plan tests," etc., "in the regular sequenator, plus or minus carrier," and so on. "Beta‑2‑M looks suitable for both tests with 125-iodinated material. Can use lysine and cysteine coupling methods," etc., "for Sequemat." The Sequemat had the protein coupled to beads. Tha– [00:17:00] So that was work being done for the following few pages, again, 105 and 107. One-oh-nine, coupling to the glass.
(laughs) Comment on page 115 that "Joe sequenced OK [Dunn and Parrow?]. But the sequence was very poor." (pause) Trying to use material [00:18:00] that had been coupled and then cut at methionines, with cyanogen bromide, on page 117. A check of glass without DITC, whatever DITC is — with a comment of about 180,000 counts per minute and the results show the sequence is detectable even without coupling, at [00:19:00] low level. Repeat of lactoperoxidase labeling with 125I. Page 123, different methods of — or different attempts to label. Sequenator experiment, on 125, commented. About 113,000 counts per minute, for use in the sequencing. Sequemat, on page 127. Sequemat procedure is specifically [00:20:00] listed on page 128, check of the solvents, etc., etc. — and my notes on how to use the machine.
And this is an [experiment?] that Dave McKean had developed. And there's a reprint from Biochemical Journal, 1974, attached to page 130, which is, "The Use of Radiolabelled T1 Ribonuclease to Monitor the Efficiency of Edman Degradations" — Dave McKean and George Smith, both of whom were my postdocs in the Laboratory of Genetics at the University of Wisconsin. So this was in [00:21:00] February of '74, almost a year earlier than we are in the book — well, almost six months earlier.
More radiolabeling going on. With a result, on June 16, saying that "The autorads show that the crude beta‑2‑M contains many labeled components in addition to beta‑2‑M." [00:22:00] And also a comment that "The highly purified beta‑2‑M, from, for example S‑3, page 39, K135I, shows very little impurities." So we were able to purify it but not all preparations were pure. Dave McKean sequencing, on page 104 — sorry — on page 140, sequenator run [1054?] — with three peaks.
A note on page 147, "DeMar's strain 7223…" That's Bob DeMar, who was in [00:25:00] the neighboring lab, and at a time when he and I were talking together. We had some later unfortunate disagreements. But at this point, this is a strain from him. And Brenda has some other strains. And that's Brenda Cairn — some other… These were different strains of cell lines, I presume.
