Taylor Swift has produced an album so bad it's making everyone notice how bad the other ones are. It only goes to show, says Prof James Alexander, that no one remains of interest musically once they hit 30.

Is the academic publishing industry facing ruin from open access journals? Not likely, says Prof Roger Watson. There are some pretty fundamental problems with trying to run a journal that nobody pays for.

A landmark study that claimed men enjoy an unfair advantage in scientific careers has been debunked after a nearly identical rerun of the experiment finds the opposite is true: it's women who have the unfair advantage.

Death Penalty in US still carried out

category international | anti-capitalism | other press author Thursday January 17, 2008 14:53author by Joe Report this post to the editors

Last year more than 40 people in the United States were killed by the barbaric Lethal Injection and one by the even more barbaric electrocution.

Here is the list of those put to death by Lethal Injection in the US last year.

http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?did=1666

This is a list of the botched executions where the victims suffered greatly

http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?scid=8&did=478

For instance, in 1982 Frank Coppola's head and leg caught on fire while he was being electrocuted.

In 1983 John Evans was still alive after his leg went on fire. The room was filled with the smell of burning flesh.

In 1983 Jimmy Lee Gray died banging his head against a steel pole in the gas chamber while the reporters counted his moans (eleven, according to the Associated Press).

More than 40 people have experienced such barbaric deaths in the US since 1986. Apporximately 1,100 others died with a little less suffering.

The full figures and other information is available here:

The United States is still insisting on murdering it's own citizens, especially African American men. Do what you can to highlight this issue.
