MOSCOW is Select Sires' Newest Millionaire
PLAIN CITY, Ohio, September 17, 2012 - Select Sires is excited to announce that sales of 7HO7466 Robthom MOSCOW-ET (EX-94-GM) have exceeded 1 million units. At 11-years-old, MOSCOW is the sixth sire in the history of Select Sires to reach this milestone, following in the footsteps of 7HO6417 O-Bee MANfred Justice-ET (EX-94-GM), 7HO5708 Fustead Emory BLITZ-ET (EX-95-GM), 7HO4213 Robthom INTEGRITY-ET (EX-96-GM), 7HO3707 Paradis-R Cleitus MATHIE*CV (EX-96-GM) and 7HO1236 Fisher-Place MANDINGO-Twin (EX-95-GM).
Bred by A.J. and T.J. Ling of Springfield, Mo., MOSCOW is a 7HO5375 Mara-thon BW MARSHALL-ET (VG-86-GM) son from one of INTEGRITY's best daughters, Robthom Georgia Integrity (EX-92-2E-EX-MS-GMD-DOM), who exhibited high-production traits that ranked her among the best in the state. At five years and seven months, she produced 53,240 pounds of milk, 2,521 pounds of fat and 1,599 pounds of protein. MOSCOW's family is also known for producing generations of trouble-free, long-living cows.
"Select has had so much success with Robthom bloodlines," said sire analyst Scott Culbertson. "Throughout our history, salesmen have promoted the Robthom prefix with confidence."
MOSCOW debuted as a Super Sampler™ in 2002 and entered the proven lineup in 2006 as a calving ease sire that improved production and functional type. From there he grew in popularity because of his exceptional health traits and ability to consistently transmit quality udders and feet and legs. Due to the rising interest in fitness traits and MOSCOW's emergence as a health trait leader, he became a favorite of dairy producers.
"At the time of the mating, health traits were not in demand or fashionable," explained Culbertson. "They were just hidden in MOSCOW's genes."
Today, MOSCOW, boasts over 6,700 daughters in his Type evaluation and nearly 28,000 daughters in his Production proof. As a HealthMark™ sire he still shines with a Productive Life (PL) of +3.0 and a Somatic Cell Score (SCS) of 2.65. His impressive Sire Conception Rate (SCR) of +3.4 puts him among the best at Select Sires and has led to his Superior Settler™ designation. MOSCOW has also been a producer of high-quality semen which earned him a spot in the gender SELECTed™ lineup.
"It is a pleasure to have a bull like MOSCOW affect so many dairy producers in a good way," said Culbertson. "These producers benefitted by raising their bottom line with his genetics. Select Sires, as an organization, sold a quality bull and Robthom Holsteins' breeding efforts were truly represented by MOSCOW."
Based in Plain City, Ohio, Select Sires Inc. is North America's largest A.I. organization and is comprised of nine farmer-owned and -controlled cooperatives. As the industry leader, it provides highly fertile semen as well as excellence in service and programs to achieve its basic objective of supplying dairy and beef producers with North America's best genetics at a reasonable price.Source: 08/12 USDA Genomic Evaluation, USDA/HA Genomic Type Evaluation, and USDA/IB Genomic Evaluation. 08/12 Rel.: MOSCOW Type 99%, Yield 99%, PL 99%, SCS 99%, SCR 99% ™HealthMark, Super Sampler, Superior Settler and gender SELECTed are trademarks of Select Sires Inc.

For immediate release: April 19, 2004
A Case Western Reserve University graduate student has brewed up an idea that may give beer drinkers cause to celebrate.
Adam Hunnell, a first-year student in Case's Physics Entrepreneurship Program has conceived the Keg Wrap, a portable method for keeping beer kegs cold indefinitely.
He has received a $20,000 grant from the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA) to build a prototype.
Hunnell's idea is to design a wrap, made of nylon or a similar material, using thermoelectrics. The wrap will be cold enough to keep a keg at between 32 and 35 degrees Fahrenheit. It can be powered by a conventional electrical outlet or an automobile's cigarette lighter.
A native of Washington, Pa.., Hunnell conceived of the idea with some friends one evening while a sophomore at West Virginia Wesleyan College. He didn't pursue it at the time, he says, because of a lack of funds. That changed when he came to Case and learned of grants available through NCIIA.
"It's always easier to move forward with an idea with $20,000," he says.
The potential market for the product, Hunnell says, is beer wholesalers and beer distributors. There are approximately 2,500 wholesalers in the United States. Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania between them have 3,200 wholesalers and distributors.
Cyrus Taylor, Armington professor of physics and director of the Physics Entrepreneurship Program, said "If this turns into the kind of market Adam has identified, it will be enormously exciting.
"We often think of inventions as having world-changing potential. But if you can use this kind of technology for a consumer product that makes people's lives better, that's fantastic," Taylor said.
The main challenge to building a successful wrap, Hunnell says, is selecting the proper thermoelectric devices from the many types manufactured. He plans to begin design work on a prototype in the next several weeks.
Founded in 2000, the Physics Entrepreneurship Program is a partnership between the Department of Physics in Case's College of Arts and Sciences and the Weatherhead School of Management. It is designed to provide graduate students in scientific disciplines with the business entrepreneurial skills they will need to start a company.
Case is among the nation's leading research institutions. Founded in 1826
and shaped by the unique merger of the Case Institute of Technology and Western
Reserve University, Case is distinguished by its strengths in education, research,
service, and experiential learning. Located in Cleveland, Case offers nationally
recognized programs in the Arts and Sciences, Dental Medicine, Engineering,

Friday, October 29 — Sir Walter Raleigh beheaded (1618); Black Tuesday, the great stock market crash (1929)
- October 29, an unlucky day: For some reason October 29 is the date for lots of bad things throughout history, not many good ones. Beyond Sir Walter's beheading and the 1929 stock market crash, here are some more bad things that happened on this day:
- 1268 AD: Conradin (sometimes known as Conrad V, as in "the fifth"), the last legitimate heir of the Hohenstaufen dynasty of German and Holy Roman kings, was executed by Charles I of Sicily. Due to his father's untimely death, Conradin had ascended to the throne at the age of two, making him the ruler of the Duchy of Swabia as well as King of Germany, Jerusalem and Sicily (yes, really). Lots of complicated Medieval politics and rivalries ensued, ending with brave Conradin riding to the rescue of Italy from the usurper Charles I, leading an army that included Italians, Spaniards, Romans, Germans, and Arabs (probably the last time all those agreed on anything). Unfortunately when he encountered Charles I in battle in central Italy he made a few mistakes and ended up having to hole up in Rome, where the Pope despised all Hohenstaufens but he was otherwise welcomed. But when Conradin tried to sneak out of Rome he was captured and eventually beheaded at the ripe old age of 16. That meant Germany was completely out of eligible Hohenstaufens, and thus ended the dynasty, which is why you've probably never heard of the Hohenstaufens or the preceding Conrads. (Before Conrad V there had been versions I, II, III, and IV. Version IV was Conradin's dad, who died of malaria.)
- 1390: First trial for witchcraft held in Paris (not the first ever, but the first in Paris), three people executed. One of them, Jehanne de Brigue, had admitted to using sorcery to cure a very ill man, claiming to have made a wax figurine of the man and "curing" it with poison from her pet toad. (In hindsight, it would have been such a good idea to leave out the part about the toad.)
- 1863: In the American Civil War, the Battle of Wauhatchie (in Tennessee), one of the few night battles in that war. 112 killed, 632 wounded, 84 missing in action. At one point in the battle the Confederate troops, listening in the dark, heard a cavalry charge coming toward them and they fled; turned out it was a pack of Union mules stampeding. Such is the fog of war. These days with modern night-vision gear the Rebs could have seen the mules coming and called in a cluster-bomb air strike.
- 1901: Leon Czolgosz, assassin of President William McKinley, was executed. Czolgosz, an anarchist back when that wasn't just a code-word for "violent leftist," shot McKinley on September 6, two bullets in the abdomen with a .32-caliber revolver. McKinley died on September 14, Colgosz's trial started on September 23, he was convicted September 24 (the jury deliberated one hour — Colgosz's guilt was never in doubt, only his sanity), and he was fried on the chair on October 29 — they didn't mess around with a lot of appeals in those days.
McKinley, a Republican, was the last Civil War veteran to be elected President. In that sense he was similar to George H.W. Bush (Bush the elder), also a Republican, who was the last World War II veteran to be elected President.
- 1980: Certifiable fruitcake Mark David Chapman leaves his home in Hawaii for New York, where he will assassinate John Lennon on December 8. (OK, that one's kind of a stretch. Throw me a bone.)
- 1994: New Mexico native Francisco Martin Duran fires 40 shots at the White House with a Chinese SKS rifle before he is subdued by three bystanders who got there quicker than the Secret Service. Duran claimed he was trying to save the world by destroying an alien "mist" tied by an umbilical cord to an alien in the Colorado mountains. (I did not make that up.) A lot of people concluded he was just making up stories to cop an insanity plea. He's serving 40 years.
Clinton was having a bad year. Six weeks earlier another nut, Frank Eugene Corder, had tried to crash a perfectly good stolen Cessna 150 into the White House, but missed and augered into the South Lawn instead. (Friends of Corder later said he bore no ill will toward Clinton, he probably did it just for the publicity, possibly driven by alcohol and depression, perhaps inspired by Matthias Rust's famous surprise landing of a Cessna 172 in Moscow's Red Square in 1987. Rust was a bit nutty too, though apparently a better pilot. But let's get back to Clinton's Bad Year.) Just a few days after Duran's futile target practice on the North Lawn Clinton's Democrats suffered a landslide mid-term defeat in what became known as the Republican Revolution, with Republicans winning 54 seats in the House, taking over the House for the first time in 40 years. They also won control of the Senate, the majority of governorships, and for the first time in 50 years controlled a majority of state legislatures. The country was very unhappy with Slick Willie's all-out attempt to force passage of what became known as "HillaryCare." (Sound familiar?)
- 1998: The second-deadliest Atlantic hurricane in history, Hurricane Mitch, makes landfall in Honduras, where it dropped over 36 inches of rain in one city, as much as 75 inches in the mountains. Mitch killed at least 6500 (thousands more were missing, many buried in mass graves and never accounted for), and wiped out three quarters of the country's transportation infrastructure, including nearly all bridges and secondary roads, to the point that existing maps of Honduras were declared obsolete. Altogether Mitch killed more than 19 000 people across Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Caribbean and destroyed the homes of 2.7 million people. Off the coast of Honduras it sank the windjammer Fantome, killing all 31 of the crew, an event that became the basis for the best-seller The Ship and The Storm by Jim Carrier.
- 2005: Three coordinated bombings in Delhi kill 60 and injure hundreds more. The first bomb was detonated in front of a medical shop, the second in a bus, the third in a crowded market near a gas cylinder, which also exploded and started multiple fires. The Islamist Revolutionary Front claimed credit.
- Like I said, October 29 is a bad day all around. You should definitely do your best to avoid it.
And those are just a few of the bad things that happened on this day. Now on to some happier stuff, mostly:
- The 2010 baseball season — a very unusual year: This year's baseball season has been very unusual in some unexpected ways. No-hit games average less than two per season; this year there have been five so far, including one in the play-offs, and there will be some stellar pitchers in the upcoming World Series. Perfect games — games that are not only no-hitters but where no one gets on base at all, meaning no walks, no hit batters, nothing — are even rarer, so rare that until this year there had only been 17 in the entire history of baseball, less than one every seven years. But this year there have already been two, and there would have been a third but for what was later shown to be an umpire's mistake. Conversely, home runs are way down — more than 20 percent lower than 20 years ago.
So what's responsible for this unusual season, which bodes more of the same to come? Interestingly, the one person most responsible is George W. Bush. And it's a good thing. Politics Daily executive editor Carl Cannon has an interesting analysis.
- The Stig Farm and the Isle of Clarksons: For those of you who watch the BBC show Top Gear, be aware that next week's episode will feature a visit to the secret Stig Farm to pick out their new Stig. Turns out Stigs come in many colors, including pink. What color will the next one be? See this Jalopnik article for details. At the end of the article be sure to watch the video about the Isle of Clarksons, a small island peopled by Jeremy Clarkson-like creatures of all shapes and sizes, but all of whom have moppy hair, wear ill-fitting jackets, and pause…..in the middle….of sentences.
- For those who read the foregoing paragraph with a befuddled look, Top Gear is a wildly popular British TV show that is nominally about cars, but is really much more about satire, irreverence, and poking fun at political correctness. Beyond that it's very difficult to describe, in the same way that the show Seinfeld was very difficult to describe — you really have to see it to understand. In the U.S. it's on the BBC America channel; just look for "Top Gear" and set the DVR to record a few shows. I should note that being interested in cars has very little to do with enjoying the show, in fact some of the people I know who enjoy it most have no particular interest in cars at all. This is not "Motor Trend Weekly."
- Black Thursday, Black Friday, Black Monday, Black Tuesday: In reference to the Black Tuesday cited in the title of this post, there's a lot of confusion about which "black day" it was that the stock market (specifically the NYSE) crashed in 1929. And the fact is it did not crash on just one day.
The market had peaked at 381 on September 3, then went into an unstable decline that saw it lose 17 percent in the period up to October 24, a day which became known as Black Thursday. (Due to time differences, in Europe it was known as Black Friday.) On that day the market started dropping from the open and fell precipitously until 1 pm, when a group of leading bankers held an emergency meeting and decided to stop the slide by bidding up blue-chip stocks. That worked and it stopped the fall that day, but the market still closed with a major loss of 13 percent on very heavy volume.
But the halt in the slide wouldn't last. Stories about the huge loss and the fears around it made headlines over the weekend, and on Monday the 28th many investors just wanted out of the market. What ensued was what became known as Black Monday, another 13 percent loss on very heavy volume, closing at 261. The next day, Black Tuesday, was the worst yet, a loss of 12 percent, down to 230, on volume so heavy that it broke all existing records and in fact Black Tuesday's record volume stood as the all-time record for the next 39 years, not topped until 1968. It was a mad stampede for the door; everybody wanted out.
The market continued to drop until November 13, when it bottomed at 198.60. It then rallied slowly for a few months, reaching 294 on April 17, 1930. But then it started sliding again and this time there was no stopping it. It slid steadily for more than two years, finally bottoming out on July 8, 1932 at a stunningly low 41 (forty-one), a level so low no one believed it could ever fall that low, a heart-rending 89 percent fall from its peak. And it would not return to its pre-crash levels until November 1954, more than 25 years after the 1929 crash.
And on that cheerless note at the end of this post full of doom — have a nice weekend!

Devil Survivor 2 [Manga]
Manga: Haruto Shioda (汐田晴人, unsure of reading) (Cerberus Jam)
Announced along with the Devil Survivor 2 anime, it'll be serialised in Monthly G Fantasy starting from their January issue (on sale 18th December)
...The art looks better than the DeSu manga. Between this manga and the anime, the first game sure is getting the short end of the stick. ;__;

Pretty nice artwork. The DeSu2 MC looks a little closer to the P3MC now.

Oh yeah I forgot you've created this thread back then
One thing that I noticed from the first chapter is that the MC and his friends doesn't need to defeat the demon to make the contract... still, that scene where the demons were eating humans seems to imply that they failed to defeat the demon and that's why they're eating them.
I wonder if they're going to fight them in the next chapter.. or maybe ignore it completely and makes them their demons from get-go.

I still haven't gotten around to playing this though I probably will start soon. Interesting that it's using the anime logo and the scenario's credited to Makoto Uezu. This prob means that the anime story will play out similarly if not the same as this. Looks like they might be going for a more P4A approach with the protags being able to summon the demons right away instead of beating them first.

Well I'm very confident the anime scenario will play out exactly like this now. Not sure if it's because I still haven't played this but I'm really loving the manga compared to Devil Survivor's.

Forget the Byakko, quite a few scenes were skipped.
They were supposed to meet Joe before this happened. The way the fight against Dubhe worked and the death clip were not in the game either.
In the game, Daichi drives a truck off a platform into Dubhe, yes. However, there was no death clip for that. The idea was that the truck shielded and deflected Dubhe's explosion, removing the puffball on top and weakening it enough to where your party could finish it off on its own.
There was also no indication or plot device in the game that made the DeSu2 protagonist special or "the chosen one" either, yet the manga quite clearly seems to be heading that direction. In fact, elevating Hibiki to some unique status also contradicts the central theme behind the story that humanity as a whole can better themselves and avoid destruction. What saved them in the games was their combined efforts, not because the MC had unique powers compared to everyone else. This is not Devil Survivor 1.
At this point, it's clear that this manga will have a very different plot from the game.

New chapter is up.
That does it, the manga really has different plot than the game. Not that I hate it because retelling the same story would be boring I don't really like how they make Hibiki so special in this manga, but maybe it's necessary to bring JPs into being interested in him in the first place.
Oh and did Yamato just told him the plot that's supposed to be mentioned in later days?

While I agree that events unfold differently from the game, that was inevitable from the beginning. The way the game is frameworked just doesn't work as well in a manga or anime. You don't have enough time to incorporate every little thing either.
Some bits of knowledge were revealed early as well. This is probably to draw in more readers/viewers. With a game, you can wait a bit longer with telling them what's going on since they'd already have bought the game. With a serial, you don't have that much luxury.
Finally, Re: Chosen One
While it's not explicitly stated as such in the game, in the story, the hero IS both the strongest, the most charismatic, and the one with the strongest will to live, which is why the Anguished One refers to him as Shining One.

Bruce Boxleitner Kicks Off TRON: UPRISING Theater
on Friday, May, 25, 2012 4:34 PM
On Saturday, May 26th -- I attended the kick-off event for the state of the art, 91 seat TRON: UPRISING mobile theater -- which is having a special, limited time tour throughout Southern California (for schedule/dates - see below).
There's no better place to start out an exciting tour such as this than in the heart of Hollywood itself -- and the TRON: UPRISING theater took up residence front and center on the world famous Hollywood Boulevard, by the historic Chinese and El Capitan Theaters -- drawing large crowds from the celebrity star-laden walkways.
"Beck's Beginning"
, the 30 minute prologue to the TRON: UPRISING animated series which
Thursday, June 7th on Disney's X D Channel, looked and sounded incredible in this 91 seat mobile theater -- with picture and sound being a 10/10 -- making for a fantastic cinematic experience.
In the next few days, I'll be posting more pictures -- and video interviews from the kick-off event I had with
Bruce Boxleitner
, Charlie Bean: executive producer/director of TRON: UPRISING, and David Levine: vice president and general manager, Disney X D Worldwide -- so be on the lookout for those!

In public spaces throughout the "real" grid of Southern California, viewers will have the unique opportunity to see a prelude episode of the new animated series TRON: UPRISING in a high tech, high definition theatre on wheels. The 91 seat theatre provides an immersive viewing experience with digital surround sound and stadium seating. The continuous screenings at each location are made available at no charge.

I was fortunate enough to cath the tron uprising theater truck at the very last showing in DownTown Disney California at 7:45pm ish.
I had no idea this Tron promo truck even existed 'till the night before while researching and getting ready for Tron Uprising the following evening.
I left my shop early and sat on the 91 and 5 freeway PARKING LOT, stressing on weather I'd make it on time or not.
It was a toss up in attire for me when I got there as well. ( ok, my nerdism is about to go into overdrive. LOL)
Threadless teal hoodie with iconic tron print or Adidas Adicolor Tron track jacket.
then it was, Sam Flynn delux ID disc or Pop's all white disc.
Threadless for the win and you can never go wrong with the almighty's white disc.
Upon arriving to the truck, a group of staff members commented " now there's a fan.."
followed by "so how much do you want for the white disc,... everyone has been asking for it."
It felt good being recognized for being a fan. afterall, I'm the only one of my friends that paid $1.50 of my hard earned house-chore money back in 1982 to see the original at the tender age of 8 at the Stonewood Mall in Downey. LOL!
anywho, after the showing, the staff asked a few questions about the episode.
Those that were selected and answered correctly recieved one of two prizes.
A large black sealed envelope with the UPRISING logo printed on front or a Tron Uprising tee shirt.
The rest of the guest recieved a key chain light with the new Uprising logo on one side and Disney
on the other, while exiting.
Sadly I was not selected to answer any of the questions but my patience and fandom paid off.
While the audience left, I hung around taking photos of the truck.
The host of the event had asked me to hang out for a sec and returned with a black envelope and said "from our teams private stash to a real hard-core fan, this ones for you."
I'm sure all the lines of my threadless hoodie lit up like the 4th of july when he told me this. as I'm screaming in my head "libations for everybodyyyyy...."
I couldn't say thanks enough as the rest of the crew tore down the set up and drove away.
it turned out to be a pretty awsome little surprise.
....and in case you were wondering, a limited edition Tron delux identity disc was in the large black envelope. It lights up blue and appears to have more L.E.D.s than the store bought version. Plus, the sound is a tad bit stronger and a hell-of-alot clearer. ; )
will try to post pics up soon....
BTW, I was informed that theTron theater truck's "home" is in culver city.
Ironic since that is also the home of the original "Flynn's Arcade" building.
A staff member had mentioned it while I was talking about the Tron Pop-up store that WAS also in culver city... fans that arrived to the Pop-Up store the following morning with ticket stubs from the opening night of Legacy were allowed to pick a framed film cell from legacy... since not many showed, we were allowed to grab a few hand fulls.
Tron freebees, gotta lov'em.

Photographers' Favorite Candid Kid Photos
We asked some of our fave photographers to share their favorite candid shots of their kids. Check out the silly, sweet, and unexpected moments they were lucky enough to capture.

Terry Doyle
Free Spirit
"My daughter, Annali, has always had a bold and brazen and adventurous spirit. She has never been one to shy away from exploration (sometimes to my chagrin!). And this is the reason that I love this picture. It captures Annali's extroverted and fearless nature. We were upstate, and she had just cut her brow and cheek from jumping across a stream and slipping on a rock. We then decided to go on a nature walk using the magnifying glass that we had for 'tick checks.' Annali grabbed the magnifying glass, and she and her good friend Nova, took off in the long grass looking for what? Nature, adventure, freedom. It doesn't really matter. This picture captures, for me, the free spirits that children are, by nature, and Annali's way of grabbing the moment and going for it..."

Lara Levine
Tackle Time!
"I was making coffee for my husband and myself on a lazy Sunday morning and got sidetracked when I heard bellowing giggles. I went into the bedroom to find my two baby boys tackling my husband. The look on his face is was pure joy. Every time I see this picture I melt. I love these guys so much."
-- Lara Levine-Lipof, katandlaraphotography.com
Tropher Cox
Mutual Admiration
"I have two daughters, Daisy and Catie. Daisy is older and Catie, younger. They are best friends. They love to play together and make each other laugh. When I saw this it reminded me that even though they may fight from time to time, they really do love each other. Catie looks up to her big sister and Daisy takes care of her little sister."
-- Topher Cox, tophercox.com
Katherine Emery
Little Bookworm
"We could spend an entire day reading books. I don't have many photos of us reading, because I am usually holding Tessa with one hand and have a book in the other."
-- Katherine Emery, katherineemery.com
Lucas Allen
Mr. Determination
"[This photo] reminds me so much of how Felix was just learning to crawl at the time and he was enjoying the feeling of grass under him, which is a rare occurrence for him, being a city dweller. I also really like how I shot it from really low down so that it emphasized how he's pushing up off the ground. He looks like he has a sense of achievement on his face."
-- Lucas Allen, lucasallen.com
Katrina Dickson
Shadow Play
"It was early morning and the light was coming in strong, and for the first time my son noticed his shadow. He ran back and forth trying to outrun it, turning his head this way and that, and when he realized it was HIS shadow he became very quiet and looked at me. And I was so happy to be there for this discovery."
-- Katrina Dickson, katrinadickson.com
Tara Sgroi
Sleep Training
"Lupo loves vehicles. He always has them around him, in his hands, in the bath & even in his bed. I love the idea that I've captured this, that as a 40 year-old man one day he'll have a record of his passion for wheels."
-- Tara Sgroi, monacoreps.com
Jay Sinrod
First Steps
"This photo… captures perfectly the innocence, joy, and self-fulfillment of the moment my son took his first steps."
-- Jay Sinrod, ehmanagement.com
Robin Lehr
"[This] one is so lovely 'cause I can see her face so clearly, albeit a touch blurry (she's a fast monkey)."
-- Robyn Lehr, robynlehr.com
Travis Hugget
"We set up a photo booth for the kids at Orson's first birthday party. I love this one, despite the fact that Orson hated that cowboy hat, and was about to pull it off, it looked like he just put it on and was thrilled about it."
-- Travis Huggett, travishuggett.com

As part of a wider repositioning, the publishing division is replacing the traditional editor role with the new position of brand editor to reflect the multi-channel duties that now accompany the role.
In other Campaign editorial management changes, Arif Durrani, formerly group news editor of Brand Republic Group, takes on the new role of head of media. He will be responsible for media coverage across Campaign's weekly magazine, website and app and Media Week's site.
Brand Republic Group's senior reporter, Maisie McCabe, has been promoted to news editor of Campaign, responsible for all digital and print news coverage.
The moves will serve to boost the editorial team at adland's 'bible', Campaign, and supplement the brand's existing staff. Ian Darby will continue to drive the brand as deputy editor of Campaign.
Rogers said: "Campaign is a strong and iconic brand. I look forward to working with this incredibly talented team to make the editorial content more digital, integrated and engaging during 2013."
Rogers, who is also editor in chief of Brand Republic Group, has been editor of PR Week since 2005 and will continue to oversee the brand until a dedicated brand editor is appointed.
Beale, who has been editor of Campaign for eight years, will work with an enhanced editorial team on Marketing. She said: 'I've been given a great opportunity to drive Marketing's development as a dynamic and creative multi-media brand for brandleaders, their CEOs and anyone who is responsible for building brands to build businesses.
"I will be working with a newly expanded team on a range of exciting developments we have planned for Marketing across 2013.'
Noelle McElhatton, editor of Marketing, has decided to leave Haymarket after 12 years to undertake higher education studies at City University while working as a freelance consultant.
Richard Watts, group publishing director, praised McElhatton's "flair, focus and commercial awareness" over the years and most recently in revamping Marketing in print and online during 2012. McElhatton said: 'It's been an immense privilege to lead Marketing and its talented, creative and hardworking team as we pulled off a redesign of the brand, achieved record levels of traffic to our website and continued to build on one of the highest Twitter followings in B2B publishing."

This is the second in a short series of posts about the Robots Exclusion Protocol, the standard for controlling how web pages on your site are indexed. This post provides more details and examples of mechanisms to control access and indexing of your website by Google.
In the first post in this series, I introduced robots.txt and robots META tags, giving an overview of when to use them. In this post, I'll look at some examples of the power of the protocol. These examples illustrate the detailed and fine-grain control online publishers have over how their websites are indexed.
Preventing Googlebot from following a link: Usually when the Googlebot finds a page, it reads all the links on that page and then fetches those pages and indexes them. This is the basic process by which Googlebot "crawls" the web. This is useful as it allows Google to include all the pages on your site, as long as they are linked together. Let's say you run the TheHighsteadPost.com website. Here's a map of part of the site:
When Googlebot crawls the index.html file, it finds the links to breakingnews.html and articles.html. From breakingnews.html, it can find valentinesday.html and promnight.html and so on.
What if you didn't want valentinesday.html and promnight.html appearing in Google's index? The articles in the Breaking News section may only appear for a few hours before being updated and moved to the Articles section. In this case you want the full articles indexed, not the breaking news version. You could put the NOINDEX tag on both those pages. But if the set of pages in the Breaking News section changed frequently, it would be a lot of work to continually update the pages with the NOINDEX tag and then remove it again when they moved into the articles section. Instead, you can add the NOFOLLOW tag to the breakingnews.html page. This tells the Googlebot not to follow any links it finds on that page, thus hiding valentinesday.html and promnight.html and any other pages linked from there. Simply add this line to the <HEAD> section of valentinesday.html:
However, there is an important caveat to NOFOLLOW that you should know about. It only stops Google from following links from one page to another. If one of the linked pages is also linked from somewhere else, Google can still find and index that page via that other link. For example if promnight.html is also linked from HighsteadCourier.com, Google can still find and index promnight.html when it indexes HighsteadCourier.com and follows the link from there to promnight.html.
Using NOFOLLOW is generally not the best method to ensure content does not appear in our search results. Using the NOINDEX tag on individual pages or controlling access using robots.txt is the best way to achieve this.
Controlling Caching and Snippets: The Robots Exclusion Protocol allows you to specify, to some extent, how you would like your web pages should appear in Google's search results. Usually search results show a cached page link and a snippet, two features that our users tell us are very useful. Here, for example, is the first result I got when I searched for "Mallard duck":
The snippet is the extract of text from the web page, in this case it starts "The mallard duck is found mostly in North America…". We know from user studies that users are more likely to visit your site if the search results show the snippet. Why? Because snippets make it much easier for users to see why the result is relevant to their query. If a user isn't able to make this determination quickly, he or she usually moves on to the next search result.
Underneath the snippet is the URL of the page followed by the "cached" link. Clicking on this link takes you to a copy of the page stored on Google's servers. This is useful in a number of cases: for sites that are temporarily unavailable; for news sites that get overloaded in the aftermath of a major event, for example, 9/11; for sites that are accidentally deleted. Another advantage is that Google's cached copy highlights the words a person searched for, allowing them to quickly see how the page is relevant to their query.
Usually you want Google to display both the snippet and the cached link. However, there are some cases where you might want to disable one or both of these. For example, say you were a newspaper publisher, and you have a page whose content changes several times a day. It may take longer than a day for us to reindex a page, so users may have access to a cached copy of the page that is not the same as the one currently on your site. In this case, you probably don't want the cached link appearing in our results.
Again, the Robots Exclusion Protocol comes to your aid. Add the NOARCHIVE tag to a web page and Google won't cache copy of a web page in search results:
Similarly, you can tell Google not to display a snippet for a page. The NOSNIPPET tag achieves this:
Adding NOARCHIVE also has the effect of preventing a snippet from being shown, so if you specify NOARCHIVE you automatically get NOSNIPPET too.
Learn more: As usual the Google Webmaster Help pages have a lot of useful information:

ST. LOUIS (AP) St. Louis Cardinals All-Star catcher Yadier Molina will undergo surgery Friday to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb and could miss the rest of the season.
The team estimated Molina could be sidelined eight to 12 weeks. He's hoping to make it back in seven or eight weeks.
''I almost cried,'' Molina said before Thursday night's game against the Pirates.
''Mentally, it's so frustrating. You play hard for something to happen like that, it's bad.''
Molina got the news Thursday morning, three days from his 32nd birthday. The Cardinals left Busch Stadium Wednesday night prepared for the worst news and minor league call-up Audry Perez was already on the way.
General manager John Mozeliak said he'd be on the lookout for a ''stopgap'' solution.
For now, backup Tony Cruz is the starter for the defending National League champions who've had a rash of serious injuries recently.
Lefty Jaime Garcia also will undergo season-ending thoracic outlet surgery Friday to relieve nerve pain and numbness and right-hander Michael Wacha is on the 15-day disabled list indefinitely with a stress fracture in his pitching shoulder.
Manager Mike Matheny said it's important for the players to just keep going. The first step, he said, would be to consider the series finale against the Pirates as a day off for Molina.
''I'm going to continue to scream at the top of my lungs that this is an opportunity for us to step up, all of us,'' Matheny said. ''The great players, the great teams, take this stuff and figure out a way to get it done.''
Molina was injured Wednesday when he planted his hand for balance after sliding feet-first into third base in the second inning. He caught another half-inning before Cruz hit for him in the third.
The slide was the same as it's always been, except for one critical difference.
''This time,'' he said, ''my thumb got stuck in the dirt.''
Molina said it would take five weeks for the thumb to heal after surgery and then he'd begin a rehab program. Matheny said the team had to formulate a rehab plan.
Perez was recalled from Triple-A Memphis and will be the backup behind Cruz, who totaled 51 at-bats the first 92 games with a .255 average and eight RBIs and also is a strong defender.
''I've got 100 percent confidence, I have no doubt he can do it,'' Molina said. ''Tony's smart, he's a good player, a good hitter, a good catcher.''
Molina was voted to his sixth straight NL All-Star team Sunday and is a starter for the fourth time. He was hitting .287 with seven homers and 30 RBIs and led the major leagues by throwing out 47 percent of attempted base stealers along with three pickoffs.
He has been extremely durable, averaging 135 games the past six seasons. He missed two weeks with a sprained knee last season.
Now, he'll be an adviser and unofficial cheerleader for the defending National League champions.
''I will be in the dugout, I'll be with the team,'' Molina said. ''I'm part of the team.''
The 27-year-old Cruz has been a backup the past four years with 12 starts this season. He had 28 starts both in 2013 and 2012.
The 25-year-old Perez was batting .288 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 44 games at Memphis and threw out 29 percent of base stealers. He played in two major league games last season with one at-bat.

As a professional make up artist, I enjoy creating unique, tailored looks on the faces of my clients, as well as teaching them how to accentuate their natural beauty through the use of my treatment/benefit based make up line, ADÉL AMOR® Cosmetics. While working behind the scenes of fashion shows, high fashion ad shoots, weddings, and events, I am most inspired by the fresh, flawless looks of 1920's-1950's Hollywood. My goal is not, work to create a new woman, but instead, to enhance my client's natural features, and the ADÉL AMOR® custom make up application service will do just that. Being a professional make up artist has given me the pleasure of working with many different brands, colors, and formulas, learning what works, what does not, what my clients love, and what they aren't too crazy about. After over 10 years of experience and knowledge, I have created a cosmetic line inspired by natural luminosity, nutrients, and youth. With the help of ADEL AMOR Cosmetics, I promise to give you the perfect bridal glow for a more natural, luminous, and ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL you.
Alex was so amazing. every person in my wedding looked stunning. my makeup was so lovely, she highlighted everything that made me beautiful and played down my not good features. i have been in a number of weddings and no one i have dealt with listened as well as Alex. i cannot say enough about what a positive experience i had with her. -Megan Fowler
Alex is not only an absolutely AMAZING make-up artist, but she is also such a sweet and fun person! She is so talented and can create any look you want. From a natural glow to fierce, smoky eye..Alex with Adel is your girl! She took such great care of me on my wedding day and gave me the Hollywood glam look I always dreamed of. And her products are awesome! I have very sensitive skin and everything I have tried in this makeup line has been great for me. I can't say enough about Alex and Adel Amor Cosmetics! Amazing! -Mandy Cooper
My whole experience with Alex was phenomenal! Once booked, we set-up a day to do a trial run and discuss what kind of look I wanted. On the day of the wedding, she met me where I was getting ready for which I was very grateful! It meant I didn't have to drive around town stressing about time and the "day of" schedule. My make-up was flawless, and it looked great in all of our wedding photos! Alex is very professional and genuinely cares about her clients' needs. If you are wanting to have your make-up professionally done, Alex is your girl! -Katie Holt
I could not have been happier with my makeup and with Alex. She was great to work with (so sweet to nervous brides!) and my makeup stayed perfect throughout my entire wedding day. I highly recommend her services. -Hannah Newsom
My makeup looked beautiful for my wedding! I was pleased with the natural look that lasted throughout the night! My matron of honor reccommended her and now I pass along the same reccommendation! -Joni Gossett
Alexandra was a pleasure to work with. I live out of town and we were unable to do a trial run. She catered to my taste, was extremely flexible, professional and came to the location where we were getting ready. Very affordable! -Melissa
Alex did an absolutely amazing job on my make-up for bridal portraits, my wedding day, and several of my bridesmaids. I had never had my make-up done before, so I was quite nervous. After my consult, my worries vanished. Due to weather, my bridal portraits were rescheduled and Alex was very flexible and easy to work with. As far as quality, my make-up was just perfect my entire wedding day, with that photo-finish look. I would recommend Adél Amor Cosmetics to anyone wanting a professional, beautiful look, whether it be for a few hours (photo-shoot) or an entire day! -Jamie Deeds
Alex is truly amazing. My makeup looked great and exactly the way I pictured myself on my wedding day. I highly recommend Alex. She is dedicated and committed to her job and is an amazing makeup artist.
I love that all of your photos show different options - very light look to a little heavier. All of the brides look gorgeous!

STOCKTON - Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones said the city has experienced an increase in violent crime as temperatures have risen in June and July, but authorities have responded by turning up the heat on criminals.
STOCKTON - Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones said the city has experienced an increase in violent crime as temperatures have risen in June and July, but authorities have responded by turning up the heat on criminals.
Sunday night, local, state and federal law enforcement officials completed Operation Heatwave, a three-day mission targeting known criminals throughout San Joaquin county. Five teams consisting of more than 60 officers fanned out to locate 351 felons, serving arrest warrants and conducting parole searches, said Lt. Jim Pickens of the Stockton Police Department.
One of the focal points was locating gang members identified under Operation Ceasefire, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Police Department. Operation Ceasefire directly engages gang members and issues them an ultimatum.
"The primary objective of this mission was to locate subjects belonging to groups and gangs identified in Operation Ceasefire who continue to commit violent crimes by using gun violence," Silva said. "The Stockton Police Department and our collaborative partners want to send a strong and clear message to the gangs identified through Operation Ceasefire: Either get onboard with the program or face relentless pursuit from law enforcement."
The mission included representatives of the Stockton, Lodi and Manteca police departments, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, the California Highway Patrol, the San Joaquin County Probation Department and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, officials said. Local authorities also received federal assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the U.S. Marshals Service, which funded the operation, Silva said.
"The message a mission like this sends to the public is that it's not just the Stockton Police Department doing it by themselves," said Sgt. Mark Richmond of the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, who oversaw one of the five teams deployed during Operation Heatwave. "It's all of these agencies working together, sharing information and showing a united front. We're all in this together, from the local agencies to the state and federal government. We're all working hard to make this county a better place to live."
Authorities made 65 arrests over three days, including 40 felony arrests, police said. Officers conducted 64 traffic stops, and confiscated 10 firearms. They also seized 22.61 grams of methamphetamine and a small amount of crystal meth.
On Friday, the first day of the operation, officers made 17 felony arrests, seized four weapons and found an unspecified amount of methamphetamine, Silva said.
One of the people arrested Friday was Steve Gallegos, 43, who drove the wrong way on Highway 99 while fleeing from police before being taken into custody near Highway 120 and Interstate 5.
Richmond and his team went to six locations Friday without finding any felons on their list before making their first arrest about four hours into the mission. Danny Somoeun, a 25-year-old documented gang member, was arrested on a no-bail warrant for drugs, gun possession and battery, authorities said.
"The people that are wanted know they are wanted in many cases, so they don't necessarily want us to know where they live so we can come knock on the door," Richmond said. "It's not unusual for them to be less than honest about where they live, but it doesn't mean we'll stop looking for them."

In familiar fashion, the Henry County Wildcats relied on their pitching to keep them in two close baseball games last week, but their offensive output came up just shy as the Cats took back-to-back one-run losses.
The Wildcats, who are on a three-game skid after winning 10 of 11 games, lost to Gallatin County (5-4) last Wednesday and Williamstown (4-3) Thursday, which left them at 12-6 with a few weeks remaining in the regular season.

Wizards aim to stay hot at home, welcome Raptors to D.C.
The Washington Wizards have been tough to beat at home lately and will try to extend their winning streak at the Verizon Center to seven games Sunday versus the Toronto Raptors.
The Wizards haven't been so hot overall, losing two straight and three of four games since winning five of six. In Friday's 97-92 loss at Orlando, John Wall led all scorers with 35 points and Martell Webster chipped in 19 for the Wizards, who made just 37 percent of their shots and 4-of-20 3-pointers.
"They did whatever they wanted in the front end," said Wall, who is averaging 33.3 ppg in his last three. "They won that game in the first half because we didn't play any defense at all the whole night."
Wall is averaging 25.3 points, 8.9 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game in his last 11.
In injury news for the Wizards, forward Nene is doubtful Sunday with a series of injuries (knee, wrist, shoulder).
Washington is 19-17 as the host and hasn't won seven in a row in D.C. since a 10-game burst from Dec. 13, 2006-Jan. 20, 2007.
The Wizards will also entertain Chicago on their brief homestand.
Toronto is in the midst of playing five of seven games on the road and ended a five-game slide with Friday's 99-82 win at Detroit.
Rudy Gay and DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points apiece and Amir Johnson had 20 points and eight rebounds for the Raptors, who got 14 points and 13 rebounds from rookie Jonas Valanciunas and shot 53.7 percent for the game.
"We've got a lot of young players and we're playing for next year," said Gay. "These young guys need to know what it feels like to win."
All five Raptors starters shot 50 percent or better from the floor against the Pistons and combined for 80 points. DeRozan has scored 17-plus points in four of the past five games, while Johnson is averaging 11.8 points and 9.1 rebounds per game in March.
After visiting the Wizards, Toronto will play two straight at home versus Detroit and Washington. Following the quick residency, the Raptors head back to the road for three games.
Toronto and Washington have split two meetings this season with each team winning as the guest.

Fucked Up / Titus Andronicus UK tour
mentioned in the Titus thread but feel it deserves its own one
oh YEAH
This is the only thing stopping me from smashing up my phone and computer in a Kraftwerk induced rage
*breathes deeply and presses redial*
Just after
I get back from Primavera too. Nice.
So happy there's a Scottish date.
This is gonna be amazing.guntrip, hanshotfirst, Severed799, JaguarPirate, Stringly, and kubrahhh this'd this
what's the venue like?
do the shows there finish early-ish so I can get the last train back home?
can't remember. it's not very accessible for transport. secc is yr nearest railway station.
it was really good for WU LYF
kinda dark and murky and arty, so should suit these guys pretty well. Also did finish plenty early last time, got all the way back to Central in plenty time for the last or second-to-last train, can't remember exactly
thank you!
think: bigger version of stereo
but upstairs, instead of downstairs
Without the pillars?
Seriously, if they had a Stereo without those fucking pillars, that would be awesome!
It actually made me forget about the McCartney thing.
I wish they were playing in Brighton but I can't complain too much. FINALLY GOING TO SEE TITUS ANDRONICUS.
First Desaparecidos, now this.
Great day.
Bristol Fleece
Two great bands. Yes please.chadders this'd this
awwwwww sheeeeeeeit
I am all up in that Manchester date. :D
Final exams the next day :(
Someone wise please advise me? (hint: looking for a answer that paraphrases "Fuck exams, go and see Titus!")
as long as it isn'd godawful early
go for it. if you're not prepared by the night before, you probably never will be.JaguarPirate and brainfeedr this'd this
prepare well and go enjoy yourself
i did this for the rapture/factory floor this year and got an 84 on my neuroscience exam and got a 1st.
Sound advice, cheers
Although I think a 1st is probably out of the question either way! Titus it is then.
what are The Titus Andronicus like?
are they true punx
I saw them
They reminded me of the Dropkick Murphys.
- gonad this'd this
- shucks this'd this
insider info: there's another band to be added into this tour, but no idea who
my money is on Iceage
Think you might be right about Iceage
New to Matador, played with Fucked Up before, good live. Let's hope so.
that would be
ughh i hope not
iceage have been atrocious the two times i've seen them livelittlebirds this'd this
it's metz playing with them
i read somewhere earlier today but i can't remember where!
this makes this gig essential...however i wont be in the country, so i wont be there :(
Cannot. Fucking. Wait.
- chickenbones this'd this
Not fussed about Titus, but the combination of Metz and Fucked Up is just too much to resist.
Glasgow tickets
Has anyone found a link to buy them?
if anyone has a spare for leeds....
I will buy you beers
Have taken the (hopefully) responsible decision
and decided not to go, seeing as I have an exam the next morning and would have to travel back (this actually refers to all the dates...)
Hope it's awesome, I'm sure I'll finally get to see Titus another time. Any chance they might announce a smaller London gig the weekend after the tour?
Just sorted out a ticket for this
First time seeing Fucked Up.
i'd probably KILL someone or something to go to thsi
fuckng hell
srsly TITUS ANDRONICUS + FUCKED UP
I'd sacrifice myself to satanorangejuice this'd this
Don't suppose anyone knows
which order they're going on? Or will the alternate it? I'm going to the Glasgow show.
Basically, I'm really going for Titus but I want to at least give Fucked Up a go despite them not doing much for me on record. I'm working late though and might not get there till about 9ish and would be gutted to miss Titus.
Excited for this in Leeds tomorrow
Despite the fact that I am now going on my own :(
Me too!
My friends are awful
Metz are fucking ridiculous
Make sure you get there early if you can
METZ were unbelievable. Why they were supporting that pile of shit i'll never know, but who cares?
Not I.Richard_Littlejohn this'd this
- gonad this'd this
What merchandise did they have?
Hoping to pick up Titus Andronicus' RSD release.
i don't think there was any TA merch
At least, I didn't see any
I asked the drummer and he said they forgot basically.
So frustrating the curfew is so early at the fleece, even though it doesnt seem to me to be near any houses. It seemed to me they just wanted to open it up for a club night which is a bit annoying. It's a great gig space, but sometimes there it seems they dont give a crap about the gigs.
Good 45 minutes though, if a bit ragged. Fucked Up were brilliant - they have some nice merch.
have a spare for tonight
Thanks to the-breacher which I said I'd try and shift for him, if anyone's interested
was great
not as much use of the super long microphone cord as I'd have liked.
Titus played it very raw. I'm pretty sure I'd seen videos of them playing with a violinist from Okkervil River and that's how I sold them to my wife.
Great stuff though.
Missed metz which I understand was a mistake but I needed to take the aforementioned wife for dinner to sweeten the deal.
yeah they did
she left on this album
I saw them in Bristol
Really bloody enjoyed it. Forgot it was a Sunday gig so it seemed to start ridic early, I managed to arrive halfway through Titus. I didn't expect them to look like they did. They were excellent. Fucked Up just made me smile the entire time, even when I ended up with the singer's sweaty head rubbing against me on one of his wanders around the crowd. Left and the town centre was full of people at some dance music fest in Castle Park, some impromptu drum n bass kicked off round the corner next to an abandoned bank. Got the bus home which was full of arseholes. Good times.
going to the Glasgow show tonight
super excited :D
Last night was so good!
Definitely worth the 11 hours of Megabussing it took me to get to Leeds and back. Unfortunately I had to rush off before Fucked Up, but Titus Andronicus and METZ were both stellar.
I was also at the Leeds gig and it was great.
I was mainly there for Titus - who I hadn't seen before but was really looking forward to - but also really enjoyed FU and Metz. Lead singer of Titus' voice is about shot so the sound was pretty rough. Easily one of the best gigs of the year even with a mid set lull with a couple of weaker tracks from Local Business and a bizarrely faithful cover of Killing In the Name.
Let another Leeds-goer
Went for Fucked Up (brilliant) but wasn't too familiar with Titus Andronicus. Thought their set wasn't great, perfectly enjoyable for the purposes, however... but yeah, his voice did sound truly broken.
Wish I had someone to go to tomorrow's Camden show with
FU were incredible at Field Day
You fucking scared me then
It's on Thursday! I'll be there, wearing a red rose on my lapel.ma0sm this'd this
I'm going on Thursday
Long shot, I know but does anyone have any idea on stage times?
It's an Eat Your Own Ears gig. They're usually very good and post
stage times on their Twitter site early on the day of the gig.
Ah great.
I guess i'm going to miss Metz, as my train doesn't get in to St Pancras till 8. Sad :(
Have got a couple of spares for London on Thursday
PM me if interested...
Well last night was bloody outstanding!
Glad to see Titus actually made it, you could tell they'd had a rough day. Hopefully people's reactions told them we were happy to have them there. Actually thought it would be impossible to follow Fucked Up but they played hard, it wasn't out of place or anything putting them on last... maybe a wee bit.
Fucked Up were just great, possibly the most fun band I've seen. 3 times now and they don't disappoint. The band are actually so good, like aside from what Pink Eyes is getting up to in the crowd, the rest of the band are so fucking tight it's unreal!
Enjoyed Metz too. Bass was so loud man! Like too loud! I'm up for a loud show but not when one thing drowns everything else out. Couldn't make out vocals or guitar.JaguarPirate and Severed799 this'd this
yeah Titus did very well
given the circumstances
oh and, that was like my 12th FU show
still not bored
3rd for me, I'd go and see them again tomorrow if I could.
Good to meet you last night dude.
times for tonight in manchester
7.30 - Metz
Glasgow show was awesome.
Went specifically to see Titus and then started to fear that they weren't going to appear. But they did and they nailed it, particularly as there wasn't time for any filler - just the favourites (and a cheeky wee Big Country riff). Promised myself i would try to be sensible but ended up jumping about like an eejit. A real 'triumph out of adversity' gig.
Had heard good things about Metz (an angry version of A Place To Bury Strangers anyone??) so was glad to have seen them. Fucking hell were they loud though. That bass.....
Hadn't seen Fucked Up before. They were a lot of fun. Might be tempted to go see them again.
Overall, a great Tuesday night in an old warehouse at the end of a slightly dodgy looking street!!
Titus... I dunno, man
Obviously far from the best I've seen them, but I feel that even without the circumstances that wouldn't be true. Patrick was just really bitter. I kinda wondered what happened with Local Business here, because it's never appeared on Spotify or iTunes. I got it from Amazon in the end because I could never find a copy. It was just a bit... I dunno. I guess it didn't help that everything happened.
(Also I miss Amy and her violin a lot.)
(Also jfc he looks thin. I mean, he was never chunky or anything, but he looked /thin/)
Fucked Up were AMAZING though. I'd forgotten just how much fun live they are.
Yeah, I though he looked really thin too...
but then i hadn't ever seen him without the beard. He also had a prime case of "old man hands" - really veiny and boney. Maybe "My Eating Disorder" is a little too close to the truth!!
I bought Local Business off Amazon when it came out - didn't know it wasn't available off the shelf.
They weren't as good as the Oran Mor show a couple of years ago but I still really enjoyed what we got. I thought the edginess added to the performance, but if it was someones first time seeing them then they might have wondered what the fuss is about.
Hopefully we'll see them do a full show at King Tuts or somewhere similar soon.
I've had this gut feeling for a little while that Titus are about to break up
what are the 'circumstances' everyone's talking about? transport woes or?
Their van had a blow-out on route to the show
They changed to the spare and got another two miles before it blew too.
Ended up having to be towed to a garage and subsequently being late and having to go on after Fucked Up. But at least they made the effort and credit to them.
Patrick just looked every inch the guy that had endured a really shitty day and maybe a little too much of that spilled out during the show.
Patrick actually said the band were breaking up
Turned out to be a cruel, cruel joke and then he started rambling on about curfews and hopes one day he'll return to play in the People's Republic of Scotland instead of the "Not-even-Ok Britain".
was anybody else really disappointed with Metz? It was just too fuckin' loud. I didn't have earplugs or anything and it was just too much for me. I felt so sorry for my girlfriend, she hates that type of music anyway. The songs just seemed to merge into one as the guitar was drowned out by the bass and drums.
I really love the Metz album by the way.
I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if it was a 'jokey' expression of very real, thinly-veiled frustration
simmering just below the suface,
metz were great
titus ok, they covered champagne supernova
fucked up were great
great show
spoke to Titus after, they were staying in Salford. Patrick is a weird man
Ticket for London show tonight
I bought a ticket for the Electric Ballroom show off t'interwebnets for £10 and now don't think I can make it.
If anyone wants it for a tenner, PM me and I'll email it over to you.
Im so fucking excited for this.
Very much so
This'll be my 6th time seeing Fucked Up and 1st for Titus. Hyped for Metz too.
Not seen either of them!
I did catch Metz on Saturday though- really really good.
Fucked Up are such a great live band
Damien's crowd roaming antics are great and all, but as a musical unit they totally nail it.Matt_was_taken this'd this
My ticket's still available
Go on then, a fiver if you want it.
Anyone got amy idea of stage times tonight?
I'm sorely tempted by Pioneer's ticket but need to know if I'm going to able to get there in time for Titus (who I assume will be second on tonight?).
Thanks for that
Pioneer - you have a PM.
Anyone got an FU setlist from this tour?
Interested to see what old stuff they've been playing, as we only got "David Comes To Life" and "Son The Father" at Field Day
I'm not overly familiar with a lot of Fucked Up's stuff
but in Glasgow I know for sure we got Queen of Hearts, Turn the Season, The Other Shoe (basically the singles from David Comes to Life). Sorry.
pretty sure there was a lot of other old stuff though, the crowd seemed to know a lot of it. I've only just started listening to them in more detail since the gig.
They're probably the only band that I hardly ever listen to..
..but will always try and catch when they're on tour.
I went more for Titus and Metz
Loved Fucked Up's set though. Damian gave me a big sweaty hug and my face smelled like his back hair for the rest of the night. I was speaking to him in Barcelona about Beef & Tomato Pot Noodles which are apparently his favourite. You should take him one. He's the nicest.
2 new ones
black albino bones
under my nose
Running On Nothin
whatd they play instead?
i think it was the second to last song for manchester
lol great stuff tonight
Great gig last night...
Gutted to miss Metz due to being stuck in the ticket collection queue outside the venue - what a shambles.
That was great, greater than I'd hoped even
Caught half of Metz who were suitably raucous.
Titus were great, and there was a strong showing in the crowd for them.
Fucked Up are simply incredible. If at all avoidable I will never miss a London show and gladly travel for them. Their new songs sounded good, stuff from DCTL is really tight now (not that it was ever loose) and
I'm always happy to head Black Albino Bones.
Fantastic show.ma0sm this'd this
so much this
rare to be so excited for a show and then have it deliver on all accounts.
Where I was the sound was superb all night as well.
Metz were bludgeoningly brilliant, Titus a raucous edgy mess & Fucked Up pure GOOD TIMES.
Yeah real good.
I arrived late and had to leave early because of trains and other stuff so I only saw Titus (but I did get a ticket for a fiver - thanks Pioneer!).
Titus were much tighter and seemed to be more into it than the gig at the Brudenell at the start of the week. Very different set list too. Good crowd reaction - hopefully they will be back for a headline tour some time soon. The covered Champagne Supernova (hmmm) and Rockin In the Free World (good). If I was being churlish the only bits I didn't much like were the guitarist's gurning on stage left and the introduce the band section where each performer plays a little solo. Surely this should only happen with an ironic wink (which I didn't detect).
It must be about a decade since I was last at the Electric Ballroom. It's been very much tarted up since my last visit - does anyone really want a bloke touting perfumes when you are trying to wash your hands?

JJ Lin, Penny Tai claim top Golden Melody honors
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Singaporean singer-songwriter JJ Lin and Malaysia's Penny Tai have been crowned best Mandarin singers at the Golden Melody Awards, Taiwan's equivalent of the Grammys.
Lin won the top male singing honor for his album "Stories Untold." Tai took the top female singing award for her album "Unexpected." She also won the best album producer award for another album at the award ceremony in Taipei on Saturday night.
It was the fourth time that Lin made it to the finals but the first time for him to win the top award. "Yes," Lin shouted as he clutched the trophy, smiling broadly. "This is how it feels to win the best male singer award."
Dressed in a red evening gown, Tai thanked the judges by bowing deeply to them. "It is completely unexpected that I should be here," Tai said, who choked up when delivering her speech.
The star-studded, glittering ceremony also named the aboriginal musician Chang Chen-yue's "I am Ayal Komod" the best Mandarin album of the year.
Chinese singer Li Ronghao took home the best new performer award for his album "Model."
A total of 123 pieces of work competed in 24 categories at the 25th Golden Melody Awards.

The School of Architecture at Portland State University has announced its Spring 2013 symposium, A Strange Utility: Architecture Toward Other Ends, April 26 and 27, 2013. Keynote speakers will be architect Philippe Rahm, of Paris, France; Jimenez Lai, assistant professor of architecture at University of Illinois Chicago; and Jill Stoner, associate professor of architecture at UC Berkeley. Proposals for the symposium are being accepted through November 2, 2012.
Seeking unexpected ways of defining "utility" within and with respect to the built environment
The discipline of architecture has always been linked to the idea of utility—albeit in a variety of ways and to different degrees. From architecture's putative origins as a primitive form of shelter made of foliage to the Modernist dictum that form follows function, architecture, from the beginning, has been required to perform a "useful" function. Not surprisingly, utility remains a central concern within contemporary architectural practice, but alongside some of the obvious benefits—the development of more energy efficient materials and processes and the economic incentive to redevelop existing buildings before building anew—have come some strange, if understudied effects. It is now common to describe the inhabitants of buildings as "users," a turn of phrase that subtly positions architecture as a product whose value, in the end, is determined primarily by the function of its use, and its inhabitants, in the end, as consumers of space, rather than active participants who engage with and indeed transform space through their habits, interventions, and rituals.
Meanwhile, outside the confines of mainstream practice, architecture is being appropriated to ends that seem to dramatically expand and estrange the familiar notion of utility. For example, contemporary Polish artist Monika Sosnowska recently used the twisted architectural form of a Soviet-bloc government building as a metaphor for the pressures exerted upon now-collapsed political regimes. Likewise, artists Paul Pfeiffer, Thomas Demand, and James Casebere have all used the architectural model (and its subsequent imaging) as a vehicle for addressing historical and societal ills, their photographs addressing subjects such as the atomization of the crowd at the sports arena, the history of American slavery, and the atrocities of Nazi Germany. At the same time, for revered science-fiction author Bruce Sterling, architecture is the very medium through which future worlds are destroyed, imagined, and rebuilt. Moreover, within the sphere of architecture itself, as envisioned by Jean-Gilles Décosterd and Philippe Rahm, the built environment is designed to incite physiological and biological responses; indeed, for many avant-garde architects, architecture is both a medium and means to an unconventional end, one part of an equation that considers, among many influences, the social, cultural, mythological, economic, electromagnetic, biological and chemical interactions between our bodies and the built environments they engage.
Recognizing the contemporary currency of utility, this symposium seeks unexpected ways of defining this term within and with respect to the built environment. Submissions sought include, but are not limited to, academic papers, performances, audience-participatory projects, poetry, and prose. This symposium will be structured around a series of events and speakers that grapple with the following questions: who has defined architecture's use-value, its utility, and how? How can turning to other disciplines' unexpected utilization of architecture expand architects' and architectural historians' perception of architecture's utility? And, what are architecture's future utilities? As architecture's primary function is called into question daily, we may find that the answer to architecture's future lies precisely in its strange utility.
Please respond by November 2 with a 500-word abstract/proposal and CV, emailed to both email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com.

An unofficial landmark left Shelbyville on Thursday when the old caboose on U.S. 60 just east of the city was carted off.
The caboose was purchased nearly a year ago by Scott Nash, a retired teacher in Louisville, who hired Adkins Export Packing and Machinery Movers to cart the caboose to his home in Fern Creek.
"We built him a little railroad track at his house and got him some trucks, or wheels, so he can put it on there," said Cory Malone who works for Adkins, and is a Shelby County resident. "It's kind of weird, that thing's been here forever."
Actually, it has sat in that spot near the old Martin's Jewelers since 1974, Nash said.
"The lady that owns it said her mom bought it in 1974, and it's just sat there ever since," he said. "I've always been interested in cabooses, and I'd driven by it a few times, so one time I just stopped and asked."
Now with the caboose at his home, Nash has to figure out what to do with it.
"I'm not sure yet," he said. "The outside needs to be redone, but inside it's really in good shape.
"There's a lot of original equipment inside like the old ice box, a console in the middle so you can sit up top and look out the middle, and there's an old pot belly stove."
Nash said the train is all tongue-and-groove pine throughout the inside that is also still in really good shape. And it appears it used to be a sleeper car, with two beds near the back."
Nash said he plans to do most of the restoration of the outside on his own.
The purchase is a strange one for Nash, who said he doesn't own any other trains and isn't into model trains either.
"No," he said laughing. "I don't really know what we'll do with it. We'll get it here, refinish it and then we'll see, I guess."

Flyover Country? Not for Fortune 500 HQs
Professor Myles Shaver researches Minnesota and the Twin Cities as a corporate headquarters cluster.
From the fedgazette Roundup
For most people, the words "Fortune 500" conjure up images of Manhattan, maybe Silicon Valley or southern California, even the gleaming office towers of Dallas. So here's a heart-warming economic stocking-stuffer for the holidays: You should be thinking "Minnesota."
In spite of real and perceived obstacles--from weather to business environment--the Gopher State has been a decades-long powerhouse in nurturing Fortune 500 companies, according to recent research by Myles Shaver, a professor of strategic management at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.
Shaver is a Twin Cities transplant. He said he was aware of the fact that the Twin Cities metro area was home to a number of major corporations, but once here, "I soon found out that the extent of HQ activity was much more than I thought." So he began to look into the matter "with the recognition that such things evolve over decades. I wanted to start with getting a picture of what this looks like now and what things have looked like over the last 50 to 100 years."
Today, Minnesota has 20 companies on the Fortune 500 list--almost double the number (11) from 1955--and is tied with New Jersey and Virginia for eighth-most in the country. These companies represent such diverse industries as health care (Medtronic and UnitedHealth Group), food (Land O' Lakes and Supervalue), retail (Best Buy and Target), energy (Excel Energy), finance (Ameriprise and U.S. Bancorp), manufacturing (3M) and mining/agriculture (Mosaic).
Read the rest of the Federal Reserve's article here.
A powerpoint presentation of Shaver's research is available here.

Titled Genomics, Medicine and Discrimination, the four-day program was created by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at the NIH, and the Advanced Science and Technology Adjudication Resource (ASTAR) Center, a judicial education entity affiliated with court systems, supported by the U.S. Department of Justice, and headquartered in Washington, D.C. The intensive course of lectures and tours at NIH spanned topics from genes and how they work, to the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, which protects Americans against health insurance and employment discrimination based on their genetic information.
Intramural researchers and staff from NHGRI, as well as the National Cancer Institute, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and National Institute of Mental Health, shared the lectern with an array of legal and medical experts from around the country.
"The program provided an important forum for NIH scientists to convey basic genetic and genomic information to the judges and offer a perspective on how their research may impact the courts and society," said program co-organizer Vence L. Bonham, J.D., chief of the NHGRI Education and Community Involvement Branch. "We presented a range of information to enhance the judges' confidence to properly interpret the terms of reference when genomics-related issues arise in court and expert witnesses testify."
NIH is just one stop in a network of ASTAR programs for judges around the country that expose them to advances in science and technology, new terminology and the researchers themselves. ASTAR has collaborated previously with NIH institutes, including the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Future ASTAR collaborations include the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
ASTAR is funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, which is mandated by Congress to offer the science and technology resource judge program to all U.S. jurisdictions. Since 2006, the center has held regional science and technology boot-camps and has offered training to several hundred judges across the country. In turn, the judges become a resource for their colleagues on the bench. A judge who earns 120 hours of ASTAR education, learning the terms of reference of court-related science and technology evidence and issues, can become an ASTAR fellow.
Court leaders attended from across the country - Hawaii on the west and Virginia in the east; Virgin Islands in the south and Minnesota in the north. Six chief justices of state supreme courts joined 20 associate justices and appellate court colleagues to learn about genomics. Additional participants included 30 ASTAR fellows, who are active trial and appellate judges tapped for science and technology information leadership in their home court systems. While predominantly an offering for state courts, two federal court leaders and two District of Columbia judges, a federal Article One court, also attended.
ASTAR trainees are selected by their jurisdictions and are awarded Department of Justice scholarships to attend ASTAR programs. Participating judges are required to pledge to remain on the Bench for five years following their science and technology training in return for their jurisdictions' provision of time off the Bench. "Our mission is to develop portals between court systems and science centers so that judges can be properly prepared case managers at trial and on appeal," ASTAR Director Franklin M. Zweig, Ph.D., J.D said. "ASTAR attempts to narrow the gap between explosive scientific discovery with associated rapid technology commercialization and the Judicial Branch's traditional, slower-moving, fair trial commitment to every citizen."
The program featured basic science applicable to civil and criminal court cases, and the presentation of actual legal cases. Hon. Lawton R. Nuss, Supreme Court of Kansas, particularly valued the presentation by employment lawyer Douglas Mishkin, J.D., who spoke about applications of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, and by two fellow judges about admissibility of evidence and expert witness qualifications. "These are some principles we can take and apply in our field."
Hon. Laura Denvir Stith, Supreme Court of Missouri, remarked that by the end of four days of training that she and her colleagues became much more comfortable with the scientific concepts introduced. "It was the most informative continuing learning education program I've been to since I became a judge," she said, adding that she was impressed by the presentations from nationally renowned scientists who could bridge the gap in presenting science to those trained in the law.
Ultimately, the six-month, joint effort by NHGRI and ASTAR sought to generate an understanding and awareness of the kinds of scientific resources available to the courts. "State and federal judges make decisions that apply science to the law that are important to all of us," said Mr. Bonham. "For them to learn more about science is valuable for courts across the country."
