University And Community Profiles
The University of North Texas is the largest, most comprehensive research and doctoral degree-granting institution in the North Texas region and the fourth largest university in Texas. It is the flagship of the UNT System, which also includes UNT Dallas and the UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth. Students enrolled at UNT come from every state in the United States and from more than 150 countries around the world. The most current statistics and demographic data for UNT can be found at the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness home page.
The University was founded in 1890 bearing the name of the Texas Normal College and Teacher Training Institute. From 1894 to 1961, the Institute’s name was altered five times to reflect its changing size and purpose. Finally in 1988, the name became the University of North Texas.
UNT initially offered bachelor’s degrees only, then added master’s degrees in 1935, and finally doctoral degrees in 1950.
The Carnegie Foundation has designated UNT as a doctoral/research university–extensive, and ranks UNT in the top 4 percent of U.S. colleges and universities. The National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges elected UNT to full membership in
- In 2004, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board designated UNT as an emerging research institution.
UNT is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Additionally, the university’s programs are accredited by numerous national organizations.
UNT is located in the historic city of Denton, Texas, which is also the seat of Denton County. The city of Denton is situated north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex where Interstate 35E and 35W intersect. In 2008, the U.S. Census Bureau ranked Denton in the top twenty-five fastest growing cities in the nation. The main campus of UNT covers approximately 800 acres in the southwest quadrant of the city. The downtown area, with its many cultural offerings, is within walking distance of the main campus. UNT has grown in recent years with the addition of the Eagle Point Campus, south of campus, and the Discovery Park in north Denton.
Texas Woman’s University, designated as a doctoral institution by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, has a campus in Denton, as does North Central Texas College, a two-year community college. Major public employers located in Denton are the University of North Texas, Texas Woman’s University, Denton Independent School District, Denton State School, City of Denton, and FEMA Call Center. Major private employers in the city are Peterbilt, Denton Regional Medical Center, Denton Presbyterian Hospital, and Victor Equipment. Further details about Denton are available at the City of Denton website.
UNT Libraries Profile
The UNT Libraries have the goal of becoming a top tier research library. The goal is accomplished through strategic acquisitions of quality collections and resources. The aim is to create physical and virtual collections that support the scholarship and research activities of a top tier research institution.
The UNT Libraries support instruction, research, and creative production with collections in a variety of formats housed in several locations. The Libraries provide electronic access to materials through the UNT Libraries’ website.
- Willis Library – UNT’s largest library is located on the
Library Mall of the UNT Denton campus. It houses the majority of
the General Collection, and is also home to the following special
- Government Documents,
- Rare Book and Texana, and
- Eagle Commons Library: UNT’s oldest library is located in Sycamore Hall on the UNT Denton campus. It houses the science and technology collections, with the exception of Computer Science, Engineering, Library and Information Science, and Materials Science.
- Media Library: The Media Library is located in Chilton Hall on the UNT Denton campus. It houses the majority of circulating audiovisual materials on campus, including but not limited to DVDs, videocassettes, 16 mm films, video games, and audiobooks on CD. Music recordings (CDs and DVDs) are located in the Music Library special collection in Willis Library.
- Discovery Park Library: The Discovery Park Library is located in the UNT Discovery Park. It houses collections in the subject areas of Computer Science, Library and Information Science, Learning Technologies, Engineering, Materials Science and related applied sciences and technology.
- Library Annex: The off-campus facility contains lesser-used research materials from the collections in the Remote Storage area.
- Virtual Collections: The Digital Collections permanently store and provide searchable online access to digitized text, images, sound, and video selected from the Libraries, the University, and partners around the state. The Digital Library also houses materials from the University’s research, creative and scholarly activities.
Goals of Collection Development
The Libraries strive to acquire, preserve, and provide access to all types of information sources necessary to meet the needs of its primary clientele. The Libraries must balance access to and ownership of information resources in accomplishing this primary goal. Considerations in planning are funds, space, and availability of materials. Resources include, but are not limited to, books, periodicals, electronic databases, and other formats described in SELECTION GUIDELINES.
Acquisition goals for the Libraries are in the following priority order, in accordance with the collecting parameters of this policy:
- To acquire or provide access to those information resources required by the students and faculty for research.
- To acquire or provide access to those information resources needed for the instructional program of the University.
- To acquire or provide access to information resources for interdisciplinary information, which is not covered by the instructional and research programs, to ensure balance in the General Collection (see DEFINITIONS).
- To acquire or provide access to those information resources as required under any consortial or system arrangements.
Scope of The Collection Development Policy
The Collection Development Policy applies to the General Collection of the UNT Libraries.
Some special collections of the UNT Libraries have individual collection policies that are posted on their web pages (see SPECIAL COLLECTIONS). The special collections are governed by the Collection Development Policy, but are allowed variance in primary and secondary clientele, selection guidelines and collection maintenance. The variance will be determined by the Heads of special collections to meet the needs of the special materials and their clientele.
- Library Liaison: a member of the Libraries’ staff who has the responsibility for working in a partnership with one or more academic departments, schools, or colleges to develop the Libraries’ collections. Guidelines and responsibilities for library liaisons are contained in the Library Liaison Manual (available internally to library staff on the shared drive). See: The Library Liaison List.
- Academic Department Faculty Representative: a member of the academic department who works with the library liaison in expending the departmental allocation and developing the Libraries’ collections in the department’s areas of expertise
- General Collection: the collection that contains the majority of the materials in the areas of the humanities, social sciences, science, and technology.
- Special Collection: a designated collection that contains resources of specialized interest due to subject, issuing agency, audience, and other factors as identified in specific special collections policies. Current special collections include Archives, Curriculum Materials Collection, Government Documents, Juvenile Collection, Media Library, Microforms, Music Library, and Rare Books and Texana. For further details, (see SPECIAL COLLECTIONS).
- Digital Library Collections: digital resources acquired, created or otherwise collected by the libraries or one of the colleges, schools or departments of the UNT community. Digital Library Collections differ from Electronic Databases in the fact that Digital Library Collections are locally preserved with access systems and services built to meet the needs of our user communities.
- Primary Clientele: students, faculty and staff of the University of North Texas are the primary clientele of the general collection. For the primary clientele of the UNT Libraries’ special collections, consult the individual policies of the special collections (see SPECIAL COLLECTIONS).
- Secondary Clientele: Some special collections have secondary clientele. For the secondary clientele of the UNT Libraries’ special collections, consult the individual policies of the special collections (see SPECIAL COLLECTIONS).
Each year the Libraries’ materials budget is set by the Dean of Libraries based on the recommendations of the Collection Management Division and with review by the Assistant Dean for Finance and Administration. The materials budget is intended to support the Libraries’ goal of becoming a top tier Research Library, in support of the University’s overall goals of delivering high quality education, enhancing student success, and expanding knowledge through research, scholarship, and creative activity.
Responsibility For Selection
Ultimate responsibility for the development and maintenance of the general and special collections rests with the Dean of Libraries. Responsibility for selection lies with the Collection Development Department and library liaisons, on behalf of the students and faculty.
- Academic faculty are responsible for recommending resources in the fields of their particular expertise to their designated Academic Department Faculty Representative to support the curriculum and research mission of the University.
- Library Liaisons are responsible for collection areas not addressed by faculty, for coordinating the collections as a whole to meet the needs of the Libraries’ clientele, and for aiding the faculty through selection assistance and/or purchase suggestions.
In striving to meet its obligations within the limits of its resources, the UNT Libraries will follow these guidelines for the general collections. Specific guidelines for the individual special collections are determined by the special collections librarians in consultation with the Dean of the Libraries.
The Libraries will collect materials in all formats and all appropriate subject areas. Requests to acquire materials in untested formats must be referred to the Assistant Dean for Collection Management for approval. Exceptions to the stated guidelines will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis as necessary by the Collection Development Department.
General Selection Guidelines
General selection guidelines for all materials are:
- Lasting value of the content, e.g.,
- Relation to teaching and research needs
- Quality of scholarship
- Uniqueness of content or treatment
- Appropriateness of the level of treatment (depth, breadth, etc.)
- Currency of information and/or frequency of updating
- Quality of the physical condition of the product (materials that do not meet the Libraries’ internal Preservation Guidelines may not be collected)
- Accessibility of the information (how it is organized and retrieved)
- Strength of present holdings in subject areas or similar subject areas.
- Reputation or authoritativeness of the author, reliability of the publisher, compiler, producer, vendor, etc.
- Currency: Current materials will be given priority over out-of-print materials.
- Electronic: Preference will be given to materials in electronic format.
- Consortial holdings: Holdings of libraries or consortia with which the UNT Libraries have cooperative agreements or of libraries within the UNT System must be considered when making selection decisions. Consortial or system agreements may override local requests for ownership.
- Multiple copies: 3 or more print copies of any title shall not be purchased without consulting the appropriate library liaison. Purchasing an electronic version is preferred to purchasing multiple print copies.
- Consumable materials: The library will not purchase materials intended to be consumed in the context of a university course (e.g. workbooks, tests, software, etc.).
- Textbooks: The library will not purchase or maintain a collection of currently adopted textbooks for coursework. Student and instructor versions of past editions may be added to the collection.
- Copies for Individuals: The library will not purchase materials restricted to single-user access that cannot be added to the collection.
Electronic Databases should be considered along with print for acquisition for the General Collection. Their selection may be guided by the following guidelines as well as those stated above:
- Functionality (such as full-text searching)
- Remote access availability
- Resource sharing
- Ease of archiving, replacing, or preserving
- Availability of digital archiving rights
- Network hardware and/or software compatibility
- Quality of interface (usability)
- Quality of retrieval/search engine
- Training implications
- Potential use (size of user community and frequency of use)
- Availability of vendor support
- Licensing considerations
- Treatment of graphics, formulae, and other nonstandard characters
- Cost of resource
Serials selections and purchases will be guided by the following guidelines as well as those stated above:
- Requests for items representing 10% or more of a department’s annual allocation shall be reviewed by the appropriate library liaison or collection librarian and approved by the Assistant Dean of Collection Management. This is known as “The 10% Rule”.
- Current serial subscriptions are reviewed annually by the Collection Development Department, serials librarian, and library liaisons for continued appropriateness to the University’s and the Libraries’ mission, to keep expenditures within the departmental allocation, and to meet consortial or system agreements.
- Because of the research status of the UNT Libraries, weeding, or deselection is done on a limited basis. Any weeding from the collections will be the responsibility of the Collection Development Department and the library liaison in consultation with appropriate library departments and/or special collections. Examples of types of materials to be considered for deselection include superseded editions, duplicate copies that are no longer in demand, materials that cannot be repaired or rebound, and formats that are obsolete. When deemed appropriate by the Collection Development Department, an external expert may be consulted before a resource is discarded from the collections.
- Due to space limitations and in the interest of keeping the materials most relevant to the support of the UNT curricula and research needs readily available, the collection is regularly reviewed for condition and suitability. Materials not supporting current UNT curricula or that are less in demand due to age or topic are moved to remote storage at the discretion of the Coordinator of Collection Development or library liaison.
Reformatting for Access
The UNT Libraries are committed to enhanced access to our collections. Library liaisons will work with faculty to recommend significant titles or collections for digitization and access through our Digital Library Collections.
- The UNT Libraries are committed to the preservation of their collections. These collections encompass resources in many formats, in many subjects, and from different time periods.
- The Preservation Department will share authority in making decisions concerning the retention and/or reformatting of resources. Factors to be considered include condition; options for treatment, replacement, and/or reformatting, and the availability in alternative format(s).
- Library liaisons are involved in initial binding recommendations where appropriate, conservation treatment including conservation of gifts, and in decisions of replacement, rebinding, and withdrawal.
Placement of Materials
- The UNT Libraries are committed to the principles of intellectual freedom as outlined in the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights. Patrons are provided open access to library materials unless the needs of the Libraries’ primary clientele necessitate special placement in reserves. The primary reason for placing items on reserve is that they will be used repeatedly by large numbers of patrons, e.g. required or recommended reading selected for courses by faculty members.
- Any one volume work costing $350 or more is considered an “expensive” book and will be housed in Reserves, Reference, Music, Media, or Rare Books.
- The Coordinator of Collection Development or library liaison is responsible for determining whether an item should be placed in Reserves or Reference. Librarians will consult with heads of special collections before placing items in Music, Media, Archives, or Rare Books.
- Other materials may be considered for placement in a secured location or reserves for the purposes of preservation or security. The Coordinator of Collection Development or library liaison is responsible for making placement decisions for these purposes. Librarians will consult with heads of special collections before placing items in special collections.
Gifts are accepted in accordance with the current Gift Policy.

Happy New Year friends! We hope everyone had a fun holiday and are slowly getting settled back into the game w/out too much difficulty.
To make everyone's lives a little easier, we thought we'd supply you w/ a list of just some of the great releases on tap for the first quarter of 2008. We are very humbled and excited to welcome labels such as Anticon, Fat Cat, and Graveface to the family, as well as amazing new releases from Hydra Head, Jade Tree, Volcom, Ferret, Eyeball, Suicide Squeeze, Impose, Ernest Jenning, and much much more. More surprises soon!
"Win Us Over"
ASG are the brutal balls-to-the-wall four-piece from North Carolina whose furious blend of stoner rock is reminiscent to that of Queens of the Stone Age, cKy, High on Fire, and others. Already set for a ton of critical acclaim, these dudes have just announced a massive US tour w/ Fu Manchu. Sick.
Myspace // ASG Youtube Page // Volcom Artist Page
(New Weathermen / Ferret 1.22.08)
Another sick release already set for mountainous heaps of press support is that from a band who has been destroying faces coast to coast thanks to their endless touring and MONSTROUS live show. Here's a taste of what you can expect live. These guys are going to be larger than large. Just wait 'til you hear some of the fun they will be announcing soon ;)

“Fight: Or, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking” 2xCD
*Audio version of the book released November 07 on Harper Collins
(Hydra Head 1.22.08)
In November, legendary book publishers Harper Collins released a book by our friend Eugene Robinson, front-man of the tortured jazz-rock ensemble and "best art-rock band in the world" (Vice Magazine), OXBOW. What is this book about? Fighting. Eugene Robinson, aside from being one of the greatest and most intimidating singers of our generation, is also an established and professional ultimate fighter. That's right, he's huge like that for a reason, and that reason is, he enjoys kicking people's asses. Man that's awesome. For Eugene it all started at the age of 17 w/ a few simple words. "What the fuck are you looking at?" - he was then attacked by three men w/ wrenches which left Robinson bloodied and hospitalized. Following a few years of mixed martial arts training, a 265 pound animal emerged. Stories of fighting two-and three-dudes at once, choking people out, stomping on heads, being begged to stop, getting the cops called on him, and countless other amazing stories, lead us through Robinson's training history and countless adventures (Fight Club?!) of becoming a professional fighter. Genius.

Team Robespierre is the party-punk outfit from Brooklyn who’s recent 2007 shows w/ Yeasayer, Japanther, VHS or Beta, Dan Deacon, Mates of State, and more, made the kids GO OFF! The band’s debut release, “Everything’s Perfect” explodes w/ party atmosphere debauchery and punk rock anthems for the L train punx to go nuts to.

"Kites For Charity"
Jettie hail from Sweden and create soaring, atmospheric, and epic rock reminiscent to Mineral and early R.E.M. Absolutely breath-taking and gorgeously powerful. Lookout for a trip to the states in February!

(Hot Dog City 1.22.08)
The five men of Mtn. High are taking back the streets with their wickedly awesome double drumming; this sometimes turns to triple drumming, quad-guitars, multi-bass, vocals, keys, they got it all. These dudes are punk rock and don't give a fuck about anything. Wild, untamed savagery. Try and check 'em on the live tip, they don't care, but they will most definitely crush a slice of pizza if you offer.
THE BREATHING PROCESS “In Waking: Divinity”
THE RED DEATH "Godmakers"
(Siege of Amida 1.22.08)
The Breathing Processs are the first in a set of bands ready to launch a flank attack from left field on the world of loud music. Composed of a rabid hybrid of guttural growls mixed in with icy synth vapors, these New England lads have finally discovered a secret recipe which sees to it that power metal isn't just for wusses anymore. The Red Death is bracing for their sophomore release Godmakers (January 22nd) following much buzz among critics in 2007. With the dual riff goblin spawned by guitarists Aaron Conti and Mark Kelley placed alongside the fire-breathing voice of singer Paul Hamblin, The Red Death have created what is quite possibly the most powerful beast sired from a brutal tryst of speed metal and serrated hardcore.

"A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors"
(Hydra Head 1.29.08)
Recorded in 2000/01 and initially issued on a mere 150 CD-Rs, A Gate Through
Bloodstained Mirrors is a crucial transitional release in Xasthur’s blackened oeuvre, the turning point at which mastermind Malefic was thrust into the unenviable (but ultimately more satisfying) position of running Xasthur as a one-man operation for the first time. As such, A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors is the accursed genesis
of Xasthur as you know it/him today: cold, black and solitary, the sequestered
misanthrope with a heart full of hate and no “band members” to impair his bleak and
terrifying visions. In 2004, a more instrumental version of the album was released on
cassette and CD by Sweden’s Total Holocaust Records, this version eventually
appeared on vinyl in a limited edition of 500 from France’s Debemur Morti Productions. Hydra Head’s deluxe 2xCD package, the last-ever edition of A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors, includes that definitive version of the album in all its miserable mono-aural glory, complete with Burzum (“Black Spell Of Destruction”) and Mütiilation (“Eternal Empire Of Majesty Death”) covers and a six-track bonus disc of unreleased material from the same era. It’s impressive, we know—but let’s just say we’re doing our part to keep hate alive.
Website // Metal-Observser review
(Hydra Head 2.5.08)
There’s a man that goes by the name Mick Barr, he's a man of many talents and many masks, and a master of them all. Mr. Barr has performed in a number of groups, as well as as a solo artist under such banners as Orthrelm, Octis, Crom Tech, The Flying Luttenbachers, Zach Hill & Mick Barr, and most pertinently Ocrilim. The Wikipedia entry on Mr. Barr marks him as an "american avant-garde metal guitarist", and while this may not be entirely accurate, it's probably as close as anyone will come to paraphrasing the genre defying compositions made by Barr and his occasional collaborators. It can be said without hesitation that the content of "Annwn" (comprised entirely of pieces for multiple electric guitars), is his crowning achievement, and a considerable achievement in the larger scope of modern music. Though Mr. Barr may be in some way categorized as a metal guitarist, this album has as much to do with modern classical composition as it does with anything associated with the term "heavy metal". Daunting as that may sound to some, "Annwn" is an album that will appeal to anyone with ears and a true sense of musical adventure.
"The Pride of Chester James"
Sleep Station is the alter-ego of one David Debiak, a man who is notorious for writing some of the most groundbreaking concept albums of our generation. Over the past seven years he's released albums about a robotics engineer falling in love with a robot he created, two astronauts being abandoned by ground control and left to die in outer space, the love story of Dr. Carl Von Cosel (a famous necrophiliac who fell in love with his deceased patient, Elena Hoyos), and a first person drama taking place in World War II. Also the creative force behind New London Fire's epic I Sing The Body Holographic in 2006, Debiak has now turned his focus back on Sleep Station with The Pride of Chester James.

PAINT IT BLACK
(Jade Tree 2.19.08)
An album that front-man Dan Yemin proclaims "will bring punk rock back to year zero" - "New Lexicon" is a devastating, apocalyptic tour de force put together w/ the help of producer masterminds J Robbins, and avant-hiphop demi-gods, Dälek. Yemin says he hasn’t been this excited about a recording of his own since Lifetime’s landmark Hello Bastards. We say, it's the best punk rock album of the last decade. US Tourdates w/ Strike Anywhere and Riverboat Gamblers this March just announced!

“At War with Walls and Mazes”
Meet a man driven wildly by music. A man classically trained, but rewired with his own two hands. A frequent collaborator, occasional curator and consummate “man behind the curtain” now emerging at the front of something yet unnamed. Somewhere between the concert hall and the club you’ll find his haunting liquid soundscapes, born of hip-hop composition, o’er-strung with chant, hinting at some divine unreachable. Meet Son Lux. Son Lux is set to release his debut album on Anticon, and although new on the scene, his work (compositions) can already be found on remixed Castanets and Beirut tracks and collaborations w/ My Brightest Diamond. The support of his debut album will also see Son Lux performing live w/ Anticon contemporaries, Why?. Get ready for a beautifully crafted, tricked out record that only one label knows how to bring us.

"Headbanger’s Karaoke Club Dangerous Fire"
(Hydra Head 2.19.08)
Hayaino Daisuki’s approach to frantic grind is far more sugar high than blood
thirsty. This isn’t to say that this 4-song EP is pop-chart ready and already up for
hip-hop remixes, for there is plenty of metal up your ass from a band who’s name
translates to simply, “I Love Speed”. They do indeed. Here to provide you inhuman
speed levels are Takafumi Matsubara (Mortalized) on the ax, Eric Schnee on the drums, and screaming all over the surprisingly catchy madness is none other
than speed and all things Sci-Fi obsessive Jon Chang of Discordance Axis fame.
So if you have been keeping up with the upcoming releases Hydra Head are about to plant into your ears in ’08, Hayaino Daisuki’s “Headbanger’s
Karaoke Club Dangerous Fire” is the second Jon Chang affiliated project to write a blog about along with the upcoming Gridlink release. Hayaino Daisuki’s introductory release may be small, but it is in no shortage of what everyone has come to expect from a Jon Chang project, not to mention Fast, Fast, Fast, and Fast. So get out your Discordance Axis T-shirts and grow out your hair, because we ain’t got a speed limit.
Hesperus, 5ive’s forthcoming full-length LP, prods and provokes the
listener to ascend through a modulated mind muddle, in attempts to
exhume the brimming melodic crest slumbering beneath a cyclic miasma
of transformative sound. Ben Carr (Guitars) and Charlie Harrold (Drums)
after seven years of relative anonymity, have graced us again with both
their presence and a picture perfect record, which serves as a frame worthy
summation of the band’s past impressions and conceptual progression.
Produced by Grammy nominee Andrew Schneider (Cave In, Daughters,
Scissorfight), these seven tracks will send you silently swaying into a
somnambulant state and then abandon you still stirring and stark naked in
a roomful of uncomfortable silence. 5ive, longstanding purveyor of the
recently popularized metallic twosome, has, with Hesperus,generated a
centripetal force to be reckoned with.
(Ernest Jenning 2.26.08)
Mark Dale of Disband, Jeff Tobias of We Versus the Shark and Dark Meat, Joel Hatstat of Cinemechanica and Jeff Rosenstock of the Arrogant Sons of Bitches and Bomb the Music Industry! have come together as Pegasuses-XL and made a new record, entitled the Antiphon. It comes on the heels of three EPs on Quote Unquote Records, and is some sort of mix of Trans Am, Devo, Vangelis and Brainiac? Or maybe its just 4 dudes sussing it out with a bunch of keyboards, books, bikes, drugs and coffee. A total tweaker epic.

EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT “Third Transmition” POWER PILL FIST “KOGMAIVOG”
I'm not sure just how well we can put this into words, but we are really, really excited to work w/ Graveface Records. You probably know them as the label who recently released some amazing albums from the likes of Black Moth Super Rainbow, The Appleseed Cast, and The Octopus Project, but their upcoming roster of talented artists is frankly mind-blowing. Here, Experimental Aircraft's female fronted, lush pop landscapes, bring to mind such groundbreaking artists as My Bloody Valentine, All Natural Lemon and Lime Flavors, or The Jesus and Mary Chain. Their sound is beautiful and atmospheric, soothing and etherreal. Power Pill Fist, on the other hand, describe their sound as "reel-to-reel doom for fucked up little kids on an atari 2600." Twisted, strange, and fascinating, Power Pill Fist (also featuring Ken Fec of Black Moth Super Rainbow) is eerily reminiscent to something you'd hear super late night at the club, tweaked out of your skull, wondering if you should take home that new dancing partner of yours. Fans of Mixel Pixel, Yip-Yip, and White Mice take note, this will move you.

"Were It Not For You"
Exploding w/ raw fury and bombastic production, Baumer’s upcoming follow-up to 2005’s Come On Feel It is an over-the-top display of one of the best rock bands making music today. Radio friendly? Sure, if Muse, The Faint, and New Order are radio friendly. Were it Not For You is an amazing album, perfect for driving fast and feeling awesome. A contender for top 10 2008 releases w/ ease. On tour now - March, do not miss this!

(Fat Cat 3.11.08)
We're not sure what to say, but yet again we are humbled and happy to welcome an amazing new client to the Solid PR roster. We know you know them.

THE BLACK HOLLIES
(Ernest Jenning 3.11.08 - NEW RELEASE DATE!!!!)
Ahh, garage rock the way it was intended to be: badass, rockin, and tripped (way) out.

They'll be on the road throughout 2008 and you can rest assured that if you catch them once, it definitely won't be the last time.

(Hydra Head 3.18.08)
Extracted from the dank and murky swamps of south Florida, Laid Insignificant is brought forth anew, resplendent in all it's misanthropic glory. With remastered audio and added tracks from the original session, herein is a
document of paroxysm of the aural variety, sounding just as virile and ornery
as it did the day it was birthed. While the climate of any Cavity album could
be considered hostile, Laid Insignificant has proven to be the most unhinged and ferocious occupant in the Cavitystable in the 10 years subsequent to it's original release. While retaining the foundational elements of Sabbathian
swagger upon which their reputation was built, this album proved Cavity had
more to offer in terms of compositional prowess. With added emphasis on
faster tempos, layered chordal discordance, and an overall air of frantic
desperation, this may stand if not as Cavity's best album, then certainly as
their most furious and scathing.
"You're No Dream"
(La Société Expéditionnaire 3.25.08)
Soltero is the musical project of songwriter Tim Howard. A sort-of international man of mystery who sometimes resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Howard creates charming and self deprecating indie folk pop on this, his fifth release. Recorded as an 8-track home recording, You're No Dream yields surprisingly high-fidelity results,sounds as good as any of his previous studio albums, and serves as yet another hidden crystal release from La Société imprint.

Remember what we were saying before about Graveface Records? Well here's another for you: Daturah hail from Frankfurt, Germany, and play that heavy instrumental rock like Isis, Explosions in the Sky, The Six Parts Seven, and Mogwai; which is to say, they rock the instrumental sound hard, and their style is trance-inducing, and of course, pummeling.

As well as our container courgettes, we thought we would start off some salad crops indoors.
For now, we’ve sown some Little Gem and Iceberg lettuces and some Boston beetroot.
The lettuces were initially sown in quarter seed trays, like most of our seeds, and then pricked out into these small cell trays (about 1 inch diameter).
The beetroot on the other hand were sown directly into these cell trays, as root crops do not tend to have their roots disturbed once growing. We have started them off in cell trays for a number of years now, as we find it gives a higher success rate. You can sow them direct in drills in the soil, but we find too many factors are against you – birds, mice, rain – anything and everything! Which can sometimes mean you sowed 300 seeds in the row, and you’ve got a scattering of beetroot, randomly spaced along the row.
If you sow them in cell trays first and then plant out, they are already partly established before they are planted out, and they have a better chance of growing on to maturity.
You may have noticed that most (if not all) of the cells have more than one beetroot seedling in them. This is because beetroot seed typically comes as clusters of seeds (multigerm), rather than a single seed (monogerm). You can buy monogerm varieties, but we find the multigerm ones work just as well. You just have to make sure to thin them out once they get a little bit bigger to make sure the beetroot come up to size and are not totally misshapen!
As well as the lettuce and beetroot, we’re hoping to grow some spring onions, carrots and radish. More on these to come in future posts!

text: Our “Connected” series con es to be a massive hit, so we’re VERY pleased to present our third edition, this one starring actor and magician Rob Ramirez. This format allows us to spotlight an innovative magician performing an entire virtual show for REAL spectators…and then explaining the tricks in full. Rob Ramirez’s show features six wonderful, offbeat, and zany effects that can immediately go into your own virtual performances. As usual, these tricks have been specifically modified for a virtual show experience, but work AT LEAST as well, if not even better, in person. We chose Rob because he has such a lovely presence, even through screens during a virtual performance. An accomplished actor from musicals like In the Heights and Shrek: The Musical, he is also an accomplished magician with several television credits including a terrific performance on Fool Us.

lmfao Chavez has outlawed " offending in any way the honor, reputation, or dignity of a member of Congress or any public official" and is punishable by a year in prison whereas in the U.S. in the 1964 SCOTUS case of NYT's Co. V Sullivan made it impossible for a public official to even sue a publisher for defamation unless the publisher new the information was false, and the 1974 SCOTUS case of Gertz V Robert Welch one can not be found guilty of defamation for stating matters of opinion. But ya not dramatically different at all.The other issues you've mentioned don't appear to have much legitimacy behind them, considering that the "restrictions" on freedom of expression aren't dramatically different from slander/libel/defamation laws that exist in the U.S.
Considering that Chavez has a history of imprisoning opposition journalists the idea that RCTV wouldn't be tried for supporting the coup if the accusations against them were even partially true is laughable.and other major Western countries and the media broadcasters that are being "seized" committed violations of their licensing contracts, some of them related to endorsement of the anti-democratic coup that likely would have gotten them imprisoned in the U.S..
Yes a million man armed militia answerable only to a single man is not troublesome at all.The militia issue also seems to be a non-starter if you're not able to prove that that body is being deliberately used by the administration for human rights violations.
I know I want our Constitution rewritten in the midst of populist fervor. Regardless Chavez doesn't even give a damn about the Constitution which he wrote as he has already violated it by packing the court.I noticed you also glossed over the inconvenient fact that the 1999 Constitution was democratically approved by a supermajority, incidentally.
So the opposition would kill it's own supporters but Chavez wouldn't? More anti-Chavez supporters were killed than pro-Chavez supporters, I can't find anymore on this case or whether or not they won their suit, but in that article they claim to have audiotapes of Chavez personally ordering troops to fire on the opposition, it seems like a pretty bold statement to make before a trial without having evidence to back it up. But what is not up for debate is that Chavez ordered the implementation of Plan Avila and that the military refused to implement it against unarmed protesters which prompted them to stage a coup.This is an interesting report and illustrative of the nature of your "evidence." When the best you can provide are unsupported allegations from ideological opponents of Chavez who attempted to sue him in a foreign court, I do feel relatively secure in my own pronouncements. That said, I found it curious that you neglected to mention certain aspects of the report...slip of the memory, I'm sure:
Interesting. Killing his own supporters certainly does seem to be a clever tactic; I'm puzzled as to why more Western politicians haven't adopted it so they can be as popular as Chavez...and killing his own supporters with a police force that opposes him is quite a devilish twist. How does that man do it?
Yes the Chavizistas must have just been shooting at air.Or...hmmm...maybe he didn't do it. Shockingly enough, it appears that the baseless allegations made by the plaintiffs are even more...uh...reality-challenging that we initially presumed. As put by Newsday reporter Bart Jones:
You offer no link for your article which is merely echoing the propaganda film "The Revolution Will Not be Televised," which has been debunked by tv producer and engineers Thaelman Urgelles and Wolfgang Schalk:Interesting. So apart from the inability of the Chavistas on the bridge to have gunned down the civilians that opponents have alleged they shot and shot at not only due to time issues but to the distance and angle impediments that would have rendered them physically incapable of shooting many of those civilians, we also have testimony from a CNN correspondent that the military opposition leaders were somehow able to miraculously predict that deaths would occur and that a certain minimum number of deaths would occur. That certainly is remarkable premonition...or plotting. Then we have the illogical nature of an alleged plan by Chavez to kill a number that included his own supporters in a bloodbath that provided support for his kidnapping and near-execution...unless you think that benefits him?
· The so called “case of the gun shooters on the Llaguno Bridge” is more complicated. Those who are not experts in audiovisual matters cannot have perceived what Eng. Wolfgang Schalk could notice and demonstrate. As you can remember, the images of a group of President Chavez’s supporters shooting from a bridge in the direction of the place where the opposition rally was coming became famous (the journalistic team that took the images was awarded the King of Spain’s Journalism Prize for this report). The film supported by you backed up the government “propaganda version” that those people were not shooting at any rally, and for this, film makers used images from an amateur video taken from a different angle than the one used by the journalistic team that won the prize in Spain. In this second video, the bridge and the avenue underneath are completely empty, without persons or rally walking and no person shooting from the bridge. Using a “shadow analysis” procedure similar to the ancient sun dials, Mr. Schalk showed that the images of this amateur video were taken from about 1:00 to 1:30 in the afternoon, when the opposition rally was not even near that location, while the images taken by the prize-winning journalists were taken between 4:30 and 5:00 in the afternoon, when the tragic events were indeed happening. If the film makers had access to that amateur video, they could have also shown the images of the same place three hours later, when tens of people could be seen running and falling dead or injured in the same avenue, which was empty before.

The D Zone predicts the DeWitt vs. Muskegon & East Lansing vs. Harper Creek game
Muskegon cruised past Zeeland West and will now meet DeWitt at Grand Haven High School on Saturday. DeWitt could have been on upset alert vs. Cedar Springs, but they instead responded by winning comfortably. DeWitt last year took Saint Mary's to the end, but a win is a win and a loss is a loss. DeWitt will struggle to be ahead of Muskegon on Saturday.
Prediction: Muskegon 56-35
Harper Creek continues to dominate with an 11-0 record after beating Stevensville Lakeshore last week. The Beavers are traditionally a strong program and appear on their way to another strong finish. East Lansing took out Haslett, but not convincingly so it will be tough if East Lansing remains flat to beat Harper Creek.
Prediction: Harper Creek 24-3

The theatrical trailer of Baar Baar Dekho starring Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif in the lead is out. Directed by Nithya Mehra, the film has the look and breezy feel of a Dharma Productions’ film, but Sidharth’s character in the film moves ahead in time.
The makers of the film have confirmed that Baar Baar Dekho is not a ‘time travel’ film, but a ‘high-concept’ love story.
Talking about the concept of the film, producer Farhan Akhtar had said “Hindi film industry is known for making love stories. Moving forward, I think we have to speak to a younger audience in a new kind of way. Present a love story in a way they have not seen before.”
Karan and Farhan summed up the concept of the film: What if you were giving a chance to see the future of your relationship? What if you could see the future, how good or bad would that be? And having seen that, what would you do differently? Baar Baar Dekho has a situation and also has a solution.
The film releases in theatres on September 9. Watch the trailer below.

London's West End neighborhood has some new bragging rights, of sorts. It's the most expensive place for office real estate in the world.
According to a survey by Los Angeles-based real estate broker CBRE Group, West End's occupancy costs--which include rent, service charges, and local taxes--climbed 14 percent this year to a whopping $259 per square foot. The area topped Hong Kong, which had been the leader in the broker's previous semi-annual survey. Hong Kong office space cost $234 per square foot, down nearly 5 percent from last year.
Bloomberg reports that West End's rents are steadily climbing due to a combination of limited supply, high demand, and a strong economy. With the U.K. economy on the upswing, hedge fund firms are competing for space in the area. Regulations protecting historic buildings against demolition and a ban on new high-rise buildings has created a shortage of office space, also helping the neighborhood's rents to soar, Bloomberg reports.
Asia claims four out of five of the priciest office space markets. Beijing's Finance Street, Beijing's Central Business District, and Hong Kong's West Kowloon round out the top five.
Global occupancy costs climbed 2.2 percent in 2013 through September, with the Americas experiencing the greatest jump, according to the CBRE survey.
"The growth of occupancy costs for prime office space in the past year underscores that even in a slowly recovering economy, demand for the best space in the best locations continues to be strong," Raymond Torto, the global chairman of CBRE Research, said in a press release.

L’OPERA, C’EST MOI photographed by Hartl & Meyer
An opera house is like a cathedral. A symphony carved in stone. A commission to create a building that will be remembered for what art is. A signature work packed with dreams, aspirations and the ego of the architect. There is one particular: the Palais Garnier, home of the Paris Opera. At the behest of Napoléon III, young and talented architect Charles Garnier built it for the Parisians from 1861 to 1875. To this day, the most exciting ballet companies and the most famous dancers in the world perform at this glamorous house.

If you want to be sure that the landscape around your home is beautiful and in the best possible condition, then you will want to be sure that you properly take care of the lawn garden portions of your landscape design. It is very important that correct maintenance of the lawn is carried out so that they not only stay attractive but also healthy. In most cases, the lawns are the most expansive and first noticed areas of the overall landscape.
Watering the lawn and garden is one of the most important parts of good grass maintenance. In some parts of the country, there is enough rainfall so that the roots are properly supplied with moisture. But even in what would be considered soggy areas, such as the Pacific Northwest, there are periods or dry weather and no rain. When this happens, it is vital to the survival of the lawns that they be properly watered.
The first sign of an impending drought condition of the lawn garden area of your landscaping is a change in color. The grass in lawns that are suffering from insufficient moisture will start to lose their intense greenness and will soon turn to a straw color, or even brown if the lack of moisture persists.
The best time of day to water a lawn or garden is during the coolest part of the day. This means that turning on the grass sprinkler early in the morning or in the evening after the sun has set is best. Garden lawn experts also say that the rotary sprinklers provide the best coverage if you don’t have a built in sprinkler system for your lawn maintenance.
In most cases, it is best to water your grass just once a week, unless the weather is extremely hot or dry. When doing your weekly watering, you can place an empty tuna can on the grass and let the water run until it is filled up.
This will help you know when you have watered enough to give the deep roots enough moisture without over watering. Watering in this way will also help your lawns develop a deep root system which will also help them survive periods of drought.
Another aspect of lawn and garden maintenance is proper fertilization and weed control. Good basic maintenance techniques will go a long way in keeping the lawns of your home and garden healthy, thriving and with few weeds.
Spring is the best time to fertilize lawns as this is when the grass is “waking up” and will need the extra nutrients from the fertilizer to assure healthy growth. The best garden lawn fertilizers will have a combination of nitrogen, phosphates and potash.
In addition to a “spring feeding” of your lawn garden, you can also boost the health and vitality of the grass in your lawns with a second round of fertilization during the summer. This will help assure that your grass is healthy enough to help push out the weeds that might try to take root and you can also use a fertilizer that combines a weed-killer to control these unwanted plants.

Appeals court upholds conviction in pregnant Marine's murder
The North Carolina Court of Appeals on Tuesday upheld the first-degree murder conviction of Cesar Laurean, who killed a pregnant comrade in December 2007.Posted — Updated
Laurean's attorneys argued last November that the trial judge should have allowed the jury to consider a second-degree murder charge. They also accused of the judge of limiting the evidence the jury could consider.
A jury found Laurean guilty in 2010 of first-degree murder in the death of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, 20, who was nearly 8 months pregnant. He is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
The case attracted national attention after Laurean fled Jacksonville hours before Lauterbach's burned body was found buried in his backyard in January 2008. He was arrested three months later in a small town in western Mexico.
Defense Attorney Ann Petersen said evidence suggested that Laurean hit Lauterbach once with a crowbar during an argument at his home and that he did not mean to kill her.
"After he realized she was dead, he then panicked, buried the body and later took off to Texas, and that is totally consistent with second-degree murder but not premeditation and deliberation," Petersen said at the November appeal hearing.
Assistant Attorney General Norma Harrell said the way Laurean disposed of Lauterbach's body was enough to demonstrate premeditation and support a first-degree murder conviction.
Petersen said the judge also should have allowed jurors to hear evidence about Lauterbach's behavior. She had accused Laurean, who was one of her supervisors at Camp Lejeune, of raping her in the spring of 2007, but she later recanted the allegation.

The director of Ryerson University’s school of social work has stepped down.
In an email sent to students in the school of social work on Nov. 16, Lisa Barnoff, dean of the Faculty of Community Services, announced that Henry Parada has left his position as director.
While a specific reason for his departure was not given, it follows an incident that occurred during an anti-racism meeting held last month.
According to the Black Liberation Collective (BLC), Parada walked out during a black instructor’s anti-racism presentation on Oct. 27. On Oct. 28, BLC sent an open letter to Parada, demanding that he resign.
The letter, which was shared on BLC’s Facebook page, says Parada walked out of the meeting “at a time when black folks were giving praise to a young black woman professor at a critical and vulnerable time…” It goes on to say that his actions “perpetuate anti-black racism” and that he does not “value anti-black racism scholarship, black women, black educators or education, black experiences, black life and ultimately black students.”
According to the National Post, Barnoff’s email states that Parada will remain an instructor and researcher at Ryerson.
A spokesperson for the school of social work was not available for comment. The Ryersonian tried to contact Parada, but he could not be reached.
A recent Facebook post by BLC says that the collective will continue to tackle larger issues of anti-black racism within the school of social work. Among a number of calls to action, the collective is demanding an official apology from Parada that states what he did at the meeting and an explanation of why he stepped down.
BLC is also working in solidarity with the Indigenous Students Rising, a group that recently sent its own open letter, to obtain the university’s support for indigenous and black populations.

As of July 1st of this 12 months, Amazon has supplied Ring footage to US law enforcement 11 moments without having person consent or a court docket get, according to a disclosure on Wednesday. The Massachusetts Democrat despatched Amazon a letter previous thirty day period with queries about the company’s guidelines associated to Ring and its associations with law enforcement. Amazon to the letter at the start out of July.

XESR Santa Rosalia BCS 1320
On January 25 2009 I had the most fantastic reception of stations in Mexico. On 1320 I got a nice ID from La Mexicana XECPN in Rio Negras CO but I also logged a station with ID as Radio Surcalifornia. No idea about the origin of that station. When I searched for information about 940 XERLA Henrik Klemetz mentioned that is was the sisterstation of XESR in Santa Rosalia. He also mentioned the Radio Surcalifornia identification. I sent a report and received a brief amail verification.

Pennsylvania’s Grounds for Filing a PFA Case: Explained
When it comes to combating domestic violence, the state of Pennsylvania utilizes powerful tools known as PFA Orders. These orders, akin to restraining or protection orders in other jurisdictions, effectively address various forms of abuse—physical, mental, and more. Notably, PFA Orders are pursued by individuals within “close family relations”, further emphasizing their significance.
Among the different categories of PFA Orders, the Final PFA carries the most severe consequences for the defendant. With its imposition of significant civil restrictions and curtailing of several civil rights, this order dramatically impacts the defendant’s daily life.
If you find yourself uncertain about the specifics of a Final PFA order or the eligibility criteria for filing, turn to Logue Law Group’s authoritative PFA resources. By resolving any lingering doubts, you can then seek the guidance of a reputable Beaver PFA lawyer who can expertly navigate you through the process while mitigating potential punishments or penalties.
Who Can File a Final PFA Case?
PFA cases are initiated among individuals with “domestic relationships”. Common types include:
- Current or former spouses or partners
- Siblings, regardless of gender
- Parents and children
- Former or current intimate partners
- Relatives by blood or marriage (including close relatives)
- Same-sex couples
- Individuals with whom you share a child
It is important to note that PFAs cannot be filed against co-workers, classmates, friends, or neighbors, as they do not fall under the category of intimate or domestic relationships. Furthermore, the person filing a PFA case against you must be of legal age (18+)—in the case of minors, parents or legal guardians can file on their behalf.
Now that we have clarified the nature of PFA cases and the eligible parties involved, let us delve into the intricacies of a Final PFA order in Pennsylvania.
Grounds for Filing a Final PFA Order in Pennsylvania:
When it comes to getting a Final PFA order, certain crimes provide a solid basis. These include:
- Sexual assault or threat of assault.
- Inflicting bodily injury on the plaintiff or shared children.
- Inflicting serious bodily harm supported by hospital records.
- Attempted rape or actual rape.
- Attempt or threat of indecent acts.
- Attempted incestual assault or actual incestual assault.
- Physical, emotional, or sexual assault or threat against minors.
- Repeated acts of violence against the plaintiff or individuals related to the plaintiff.
These grounds lay the foundation for the court to issue a Final PFA order. While it is possible to challenge PFA orders in court, it is crucial to seek the assistance of a skilled Beaver criminal lawyer. With their help, a strong defense, supported by the right witnesses and evidence, can minimize potential penalties in Final PFA cases.

To confess or not to confess, that is the question.
To confess is to risk everything, to stick my hand in the burning flame to see if it would hurt. It most certainly would, unless somehow the flame does not burn, but bring warmth.
Not to confess is to lie cold awake at night, wondering what could have been--- wondering it was better to risk it all for some possible warmth. From that view it seems like to confess is the answer, it is the only way to sleep soundly at night. But wait, we have not discussed the pain.
To burn your hand is to feel black blended terror, mixed from insecurity, humiliation, and self-deprecation, rush to tear away your body vein by vein. The time to face him counts down like your alarm in the morning, the sound piercing the silent air and pushing you awake into a freezing cold world where thousands of little daggers slowly pushing into your skin—not daggers but the judging eyes of people.
From that, it seems to like not confessing is better, daggers are far more hurtful than a cold bed will ever be.
Tonight I shut my eyes and shiver from the coldness.


Soul Summit & East Room presents
Soul Summit DJs + Guest DJ Dreas
DJ DREAS of GRAND RAPIDS SOUL CLUB
Since January of this 2012, DJ’s Andrew Christopoulos (aka Dreas), Mike Saunders and Josh Breuer have been hosting raucous, revivalist and retro soul music dance parties primarily at the Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Armed with hard-shell boxes of 45s, the three have been spinning out of this world choice soul and funk records at the Soul Club events and in the process attracting a diverse demographic of people who come to dance to the rare grooves that GRSC offers.
Dreas, has played records at Soul Summit a few times in our history and he always kills it! He first began collecting rare soul 45s looking for original samples and beats for his own music as a producer under his moniker, Dreas. He describes his love of soul music as having a “stronger emotional connection” to the music. “I gravitated toward soul music. I felt a personal connection to the lyrics and the aesthetic,” he says. Right on!
Saturday, December 15th

I have never had any patience when it comes to water chemistry or when it comes to fish in general. In the past I have over fed my fish and they have died as a result from poor water quality and over feeding. I wish I had known more about cycling tanks and how important the nitrogen cycle is when it comes to keeping an aquarium of fish healthy. It really takes weeks to fully cycle a tank.
After replacing my old aquarium filter with my new sponge filter I left the old filter in the tank for a week so the beneficial bacteria could colonize the new filter. Doing so did raise the nitrate and ammonium levels. The ammonia levels were at 1 ppm and the nitrite levels were at 5 ppm. I removed the old filter and tested the water for the past couple of days and the ammonia has decreased to 0 ppm and the nitrites are down to 2 ppm again. Hopefully the water changes and better filtration will help keep the tank cycled.
The guppy fry are 5 weeks old (one month and a week). They have developed more color. At 4 weeks they had only developed their black markings, but now you can definitely see the difference between the coloring of the males and females. Six of the fry are females and four are males. The obvious difference in fin shape only just developed. The males have a gonopodium, which is a specialized fin that is used to deliver sperm to the female.
I ordered a male turquoise tuxedo guppy from a member on Guppy Fish Enthusiasts facebook page. I saw some in petsmart that were about 4 months old, but did not want to buy another guppy from Petsmart at the moment. This guy is 1 year and a bit, but he was too beautiful to resist. He arrived on Thursday in perfect health. I also started cycling a new tank using one of the mature sponges from my original tank. I have managed to separate my females from my males.
Another update: The mystery snails have exhibited mating behavior and I expect I will see eggs soon.
Having technical problem’s with photos. Will update as soon as I fix them.

Berkshire Dolman Sweater Done. Finally.
Immediately after I wrote that last post, I ripped out the cowl neck on the sweater. I knew that it would bug me if I left it, so I decided to knit the cowl over again. And I'm glad I did. You can see the difference in the photo. The neckline is a bit sturdier and isn't so stretched out like it was when I just knit on for the neck. The weather is supposed to warm up this week, so I just need some cold weather before I can actually wear it.

I've been thinking- the kinetic has a head gasket because of poor machining. If I took the head and the cylinder and flattened them, would I be able to eliminate the gasket?
I'm thinking of using valve-lapping compound on a flat piece of tempered glass (if I can find some), to level them both. Do ya'll think this would work?
Or would I run the risk of making a bigger gap if one piece, either the head or the cylinder, is a little off.

Emergent magnetic monopoles controlled at room temperature
Three dimensional (3D) nano-network promise a new era in modern solid state physics with numerous applications in photonics, bio-medicine, and spintronics. The realization of 3D magnetic nano-architectures could enable ultra-fast and low-energy data storage devices. Due to competing magnetic interactions in these systems magnetic charges or magnetic monopoles can emerge, which can be utilized as mobile, binary information carriers. Researchers at University of Vienna have now designed the first 3D artificial spin ice lattice hosting unbound magnetic charges. The results published in the journal npj Computational Materials present a first theoretical demonstration that, in the new lattice, the magnetic monopoles are stable at room temperature and can be steered on-demand by external magnetic fields.
Emergent magnetic monopoles are observed in a class of magnetic materials called spin ices. However, the atomic scales and required low temperatures for their stability limit their controllability. This led to the development of 2D artificial spin ice, where the single atomic moments are replaced by magnetic nano-islands arranged on different lattices. The up-scaling allowed the study of emergent magnetic monopoles on more accessible platforms. Reversing the magnetic orientation of specific nano-islands propagates the monopoles one vertex further, leaving a trace behind. This trace, Dirac Strings, necessarily stores energy and bind the monopoles, limiting their mobility.
Researchers around Sabri Koraltan and Florian Slanovc, and led by Dieter Suess at the University of Vienna, have now designed a first 3D artificial spin ice lattice that combines the advantages of both atomic- and 2D artificial spin ices.
In a cooperation with Nanomagnetism and Magnonics group from University of Vienna, and Theoretical Division of Los Alamos Laboratory, USA, the benefits of the new lattice are studied employing micromagnetic simulations. Here, flat 2D nano-islands are replaced by magnetic rotational ellipsoids, and a high symmetry three-dimensional lattice is used. "Due to the degeneracy of the ground state the tension of the Dirac strings vanish unbinding the magnetic monopoles", remarks Sabri Koraltan, one of the first-authors of the study. The researchers took the study further to the next step, where in their simulations one magnetic monopole was propagated through the lattice by applying external magnetic fields, demonstrating its application as information carriers in a 3D magnetic nano-network.
Sabri Koraltan adds "We make use of the third dimension and high symmetry in the new lattice to unbind the magnetic monopoles, and move them in desired directions, almost like true electrons". The other first-author Florian Slanovc concludes, "The thermal stability of the monopoles around room temperature and above could lay the foundation for ground breaking new generation of 3D storage techonologies".
