In this episode of State of the Arc, Jason Becker breaks down four major developments reshaping the welding industry right now. First, we look at the surge in government-funded nuclear projects and the increased demand for welders trained to ASME and NAVSEA standards. Then we shift to the revival of domestic steelmaking and how reshoring and infrastructure funding are fueling new opportunities for structural welders. In segment three, Jason covers the industry-wide push for low-hydrogen practices — from rod ovens to procedure control — and why welders need to pay closer attention to hydrogen cracking. Finally, we dig into ongoing supply chain issues affecting exotic filler metals like Inconel, Hastelloy, and duplex stainless, and how this is impacting bids, project timelines, and QA/QC expectations. As always, we close out with the Welding History Fact of the Week — this time featuring the precision TIG work behind the St. Louis Gateway Arch.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/UwnYctoUtyUDay 4 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 25, 2025. I covered it on May 1st when court was not in session. The Jury went to view the property at 34 Fairview Rd where John O'Keefe was found dead. Special Prosecutor Hank wanted the jury to observe specific details at the scene, such as the Lexus, rear tail light, bumper height, flagpole, and fire hydrant. David Yannetti ended his instructions with, "you will do a proper investigation." Judge Cannone reread the Jury View instructions, reinforcing that jurors are only to observe and not conduct their own investigations.Dr. Garrey Faller, Chief of Pathology at Good Samaritan, testified to the methods of testing blood alcohol levels. At Cross Examination, attorney Elizabeth Little made a key point that the Hospital at Good Samaritan is a medical lab, not a forensic lab, meaning the blood test was for treatment purposes, not forensic purposes. This might not matter to jury as much due the interview clips of Karen Read admitting to driving slower while intoxicated and that she had been adding shots to her drink because they were weak so she didn't have as many as the Commonwealth had accounted for.Jason Becker, the Fire Paramedic, who arrived at the scene with Daniel Whitley to put Karen Read in a Section 12 Hold. Mr. Becker had a conversation with Karen Read about her "last word" or "last conversation" with John O'Keefe. The Prosecution was aiming for it to seem that it could be about a fight they had when she dropped him off at 34 Fairview Rd while the Defense was aiming for it to be that Karen read was concerned about the voicemails she left him that night. Jason Becker said that Karen read tried to show him her phone about missed called but he refused to go through her phone. Mr. Becker said he never heard Karen mention anything about voicemails. Whether the jury believes that Karen Read was upset about her last words to John O'Keefe being a fight in the car, or her voicemails after she left him at 34 Fairview Rd, could impact acquittal of charges 1 and 3 which needs to prove intent. Remember, if there are two reasonable interpretations, the jury must pick the interpretation that leads to innocence.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

On the fourth day of Karen Read's 2025 retrial, the jury visited the alleged crime scene at 34 Fairview Road in Canton, Massachusetts, where Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe was found unresponsive in the snow on January 29, 2022. During the visit, jurors examined the property and observed Read's Lexus SUV, which was parked outside the home. Prosecutors directed the jury's attention to the vehicle's rear bumper, suggesting it matched O'Keefe's injuries, while the defense highlighted the distances between the house and the lawn, arguing that the scene did not support the prosecution's narrative .​Following the site visit, testimony resumed in court with Canton firefighter and paramedic Jason Becker, who recounted Read's emotional state during her transport to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. Becker described her as agitated yet cooperative, noting that she mentioned having an argument with O'Keefe prior to his death. Additionally, Dr. Garrey Faller, a former pathologist at Good Samaritan Medical Center, testified that Read's blood alcohol content was 0.093%—above the legal limit—approximately nine hours after the incident.

Eindelijk: Dood & Verderf kiest en bespreekt aan de hand van alleskunner (waaronder documentairemaker) Mike Redman de beste docu's die gemaakt zijn over metal. We draaien de muziek, diepen de verhalen uit én verklappen wanneer Mikes langverwachte eigen metal-docu, Metaal, uitkomt. En ja, we proberen ook uit waar Judas Priest van verdacht werd. Don't do it! Wat is nóg fascinerender dan naar metal luisteren? Ernaar kijken natuurlijk. Er is namelijk weinig mooier, tenenkrommender, bizarder, teleurstellender, lelijker, hilarischer, gruwelijker en ongeloofwaardiger dan de verhalen achter metal en zijn muzikanten. En documentaires zijn de ideale toegangspoort daartoe. Daarom in deze editie van Dood & Verderf: Mike Redman, Rotterdams grootste multitalent (check dit dan, of deze), waaronder als documaker. Mike legt momenteel samen met Jason Köhnen de laatste hand aan de documentaire Metaal. Hierin belicht hij de Nederlandse extreme-metal-scene tussen 1985 en ‘95. Speciaal voor Dood & Verderf koos hij zijn favoriete docu's over metal, variërend van de tranentrekker over Jason Becker tot de teloorgang van de maatschappij in Amerika. Vond je dit tof?

They melded punk and reggae into an innovative style that has yet to be copied. Their impact and influence can be heard in groups like Beastie Boys, No Doubt, Nirvana, Jane's Addiction and countless more. Despite the troubles of an eccentric front man they have stayed together for 30 years without ever reaching the level of success so many think they deserve.

Today on the Hot Jazz Network Podcast, Dave Lopez and George Cole announced an important benefit/fundraiser for the Jason Becker Creative Care Project. Jason Becker's story, if you haven't heard it, is one you'll never forget—a tale of brilliance, talent, determination, adversity, and ultimate triumph. A child prodigy on guitar, Jason rose to prominence as a teenager when he was one half of the legendary rock guitar duo Cacophony (with his great friend Marty Friedman). After wowing audiences worldwide with his amazing guitar skills and deep compositions, Jason auditioned for—and secured—the coveted position with David Lee Roth, following in the footsteps of Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai. He wrote and recorded the DLR album "A Little Ain't Enough" and was poised to take over the rock guitar world when a nagging pain in his leg was diagnosed as ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease, a debilitating and fatal condition with a life expectancy of approximately five years.Jason did indeed lose the ability to play guitar, walk, talk, and breathe on his own. However, he never lost his will to live or his desire to create music. Communicating through a series of eye movements with a system developed by his father, Jason spells out words as well as musical notes and chords. He imparts his musical vision to his team, who then input the notes into a computer, edit the parts to his exacting standards, and generate charts for session musicians. Through this remarkable process, Jason composes his profoundly beautiful music, rich in melody and counterpoint, brimming with emotion. His inspiring music and life story have been the subject of countless news articles, magazine cover stories, and an award-winning documentary, "Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet."Not only is Jason still alive, but he's busier and more prolific than ever. His release, "Triumphant Hearts," showcases his gift for melody and deep knowledge of classical composition and orchestral arrangement. The album features Jason's signature, amazing guitar playing (recorded in the '80s and '90s) as well as performances by a who's-who of guitar virtuosos, including Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Neal Schon, Steve Morse, Paul Gilbert, Joe Bonamassa, and many others.Jason Becker isn't just an extraordinary musician; he's also one of the most positive, upbeat, and inspiring individuals alive. "I really feel lucky," says Jason. "I am surrounded by loving people, and I can still make music."DAVE LOPEZ Born in Chile, David Lopez's musical journey began when his brother introduced him to the world of guitar, rock, and Latin music. Growing up in Richmond, CA, Dave developed a passion for the diverse sounds of hip hop and heavy metal. Learning from the legendary musician and composer Jason Becker, Dave further honed his skills and later worked in studio management at the renowned Jackson St. Studios and Sound Wave Studios with artists ranging from 2Pac to Metallica. In 2003, he formed Flipsyde and toured worldwide with acts such as Snoop Dogg, Black Eyed Peas, and Busta Rhymes. Flipsyde's success included platinum and gold records, such as their 2005 debut album, "We the People" (Interscope). Their song "Someday" was chosen as a theme song by NBC for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games and appeared on the soundtrack for the 2008 film "Never Back Down."Jason Becker Creative Care Project Launch Party Fundraiser Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024, 2:00 PM to 6:30 PM Baltic Kiss, 135 Park Place, Point Richmond, CA 510-260-0571 https://www.baltickiss.com/ https://jasonbecker.com/

This week we continue the discussion that we started at the end of our last show; with our admiration of the almighty power of the guitar and the guitar hero! This time around we are going to play guitarists, or guitar passages or leads in songs that caught our ears at some point in our lives that made us truly stop and listen. It's not always about the training, finesse, dexterity, or speed a player has or even the style of music or song that is being played.
