|Madonna concert chronology
The MDNA Tour was the ninth concert tour by American entertainer Madonna. It promoted her twelfth studio album, MDNA. It followed her record-breaking Sticky & Sweet Tour and was the second concert tour under her 360 deal with Live Nation Entertainment. Beginning in Tel Aviv, Israel, the tour would visit Asia, Europe and the Americas. It also featured the singer's first concert appearances in Colombia, Ukraine, Scotland and the United Arab Emirates. Like her previous concert tour, it was planned to visit Australia in January 2013 but was cancelled by Madonna herself, resulting in her posting an audio video letter on her Youtube official account.
Madonna described the tour as "a journey from darkness to light". It was divided into four sections: Transgression, where guns and violence was the main theme, Prophecy, where a mix of joyful songs that bring people together were performed, Masculine/Feminine, a combination of sensuality and fashion with a few of Madonna's classic songs performed in Cabaret-style, and Celebration, which Madonna labeled as "a big party and celebration". As the show continued through Europe and North America, two songs were added to the setlist including "Holiday", which was performed on selected dates, and "Love Spent", which Madonna added as the final song in the third section.
The show received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its maturity and artistry. Overall, Madonna performed to over 2.1 million fans in 29 countries, grossing a total of $305 million from 88 sold-out shows. It became the highest-grossing tour of 2012 and the tenth of all time by its end, and the second highest-grossing tour among female artists, only behind her own 2008-09 Sticky & Sweet Tour. Madonna also broke the record for occupying the top two highest-grossing female tours of all time. At the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, Madonna won the Top Touring Award for The MDNA Tour.
Controversies arose while on tour. During the video interlude "Nobody Knows Me", the face of French far right politician Marine Le Pen appeared on the screen with a swastika on her forehead, resulting on her dissapointment. During her concerts in Russia, Madonna talked about the arrest of feminist punk-rock band Pussy Riot, causing anger by Deputy Prime Minister, Dmitry Rogozin. She also was sued by anti-gay Russian campaigners, arguing that she promoted homosexual propaganda in Russia. The MDNA Tour has been broadcast on private channels and a CD/DVD and Blu-ray version of the performances, titled MDNA World Tour, was released in September 2013.
In October 2011, fansite DrownedMadonna released a proposed tour itinerary from Live Nation.[1] The report showed the singer playing a stadium-exclusive tour beginning in New Zealand. It also showed dates in Australia, China, Southeast Asia, Europe and North America. Days later, many media outlets around the world posted the itinerary, causing Live Nation to respond to the report's authenticity.[2]
While promoting her first feature film, W.E., Madonna partnered with Smirnoff to produce a global dance contest. Called the "Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project", the contest asked for dancers to submit footage to becoming a dancer on the singer's forthcoming tour.[3] Eleven finalists performed for Madonna and fans at the Roseland Ballroom in November 2011, where Madonna also debuted her new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin'". The winner of the contest was Charles Riley (known as Lil Buck).[4]
The tour was officially announced on February 7, 2012, following the singer's performance at the Super Bowl XLVI Bridgestone Halftime Show.[5] The tour is expected to have 90 performances, becoming Madonna's longest tour to date. In March 2012, the singer used social networks to promote the forthcoming tour and album.[6] On Twitter, the official title of the tour was announced.[citation needed] The concert tickets range in price from around $45 to more than $350. Some premium-priced ticket packages run $600 per person.[7] Receiving complaints that her live shows are too expensive, Madonna told Newsweek: "Start saving your pennies now. People spend $300 on crazy things all the time, things like handbags. So work all year, scrape the money together and come to my show. I'm worth it."[8]
Originally, Live Nation reported that the tour would have an Australian leg, becoming Madonna's first tour to reach the country in 20 years since the 1993 Girlie Show World Tour. Stadium dates in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne were planned and ready to be announced in July 2012, but was cancelled for reasons unspecified which lead to a huge backlash from fans in Australia after Madonna skipped the country. A spokerperson said, "Madonna's [MDNA] tour will end in South America in December as planned. That's all we can say."[9][10] Madonna also had planned to reach Australia during both the 2006 Confessions Tour and the 2008-09 Sticky & Sweet Tour.[11] However, on August 26, 2012, Madonna released an audio video on Youtube saying,[12]
"I know a lot of you are angry with me, upset with me, disappointed. I did everything I could, I thought long and hard about it, I thought the best thing for me to do would be to end my seven months on the road at the end of the year and not continue on with my tour so I could spend time with my children who need me. Because my children are older I can't take them on the road with me everywhere [...] I really feel I would be an irresponsible parent if I didn't stop my tour and spend time with them. [...] I haven't forgetten about you."
During a Facebook chat with Jimmy Fallon, Madonna announced the first section of the show is "pretty violent" and she would utilize slacklining in one performance.[13] Madonna reunited with her long-time designer Jean Paul Gaultier to create the costumes for the tour. She stated, "[Gaultier is] kind of godfathering the costumes for a section of my show, with all my dancers. I'm really happy he's doing it, because he's such a genius." Madonna also works with designers Arianne Phillips and Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci.[14] Phillips commented,
"This show is epic and bigger than anything she's done before. There are many more costume changes. We're taking 700 shoes on the road. Madonna changes outfits seven or eight times and the dancers change 10 to 15 times, depending on the dancer. They have been generous for so many years. Her relationship with them is really special. Everything is specially made and they made some incredible high-heeled boots for the boys."[15]
Madonna recruited the services of Canadian multimedia team Moment Factory to design the stage designs scenography.[16] The team previously worked with Madonna for the Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. They were given four months to come with the ideas for the show.[16] After receiving the 12 songs which they were to work with, they set ideas with the show director Michel Laprise, with Madonna herself approving each stage. Each song carries with it a different emotion that Moment Factory had to extract and visually present on stage.[16] They were allowed creative control while also having to coordinate with the rest of the stage team, the lighting and set designers. Madonna would give a hint, some intuition of what she wanted, and then they would all bring their ideas. These ideas were materialized using LEDs—from a 10 mm LED backdrop to LED cubes, which gave the team scope to work with.[16] These cubes allowed the performers and the video content to be dynamic and diverse, as the team was able to create different sequences. The videos could be programmed according to Madonna's movements and content.[16] First rehearsals began in February 2012 in New York City. The rehearsals on a real stage began May 1, 2012 at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The tour was initially planned to start in Tel Aviv, Israel, on May 29, 2012, but was rescheduled to May 31 due to production delays.[17] The triangle-shaped stage of the tour consists of two walkways for Madonna to wade into the crowd and an enclosed area where fans can get close to the stage. There was also a huge, three-part video screen that promoters have called the largest in the world.[18]
Concert synopsis[edit]
Madonna described the tour as "a journey of a soul from darkness to light".[19] It was divided into four sections: Transgression, Prophecy, Masculine/Feminine and Redemption.[20] The concert began with a cross with the initials of Madonna on the backdrops, while three men representing religious sang psalms. The dancers, clad as monks, rang a bell before Madonna broke the glass window of a confessional using a rifle and "Girl Gone Wild" began playing, while wearing a black, skintight outfit.[21][22] The show continued with "Revolver" with Madonna's female dancers accompanying her with automatic rifles and Lil' Wayne being featured in the video backdrops.[23] After the song, "Gang Bang" is performed in a motel setting where Madonna is seen shooting the male dancers who infiltrate her room with blood being splattered on the backdrops.[23] A tease of "Papa Don't Preach" follows in which her dancers dressed in army pants, boots and masks tie her up, leading into "Hung Up" where Madonna utilizes slacklining while her dancers slide under the ropes.[24] Madonna closes the section performing "I Don't Give A" on guitar while Nicki Minaj is seen on the backdrops.[25] It led to a video interlude for a mashup of "Best Friend" and "Heartbeat".[21] After the interlude, Madonna appears with a marching band dressed up as a majorette while performing "Express Yourself" with a baton. The song lyrically samples Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" and "She's Not Me" from Hard Candy.[26][27] Next, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" is performed with a marching band suspended from the air while Madonna and her female dancers dancing with pompoms. A short video interlude features Madonna's previous hits leads into "Turn Up the Radio" with Madonna on guitar wearing an all-leather look with knee-high boots and a mini fur bolero.[28] "Open Your Heart" is performed next with the Kalakan trio and with Madonna dancing across the stage with her son Rocco Ritchie.[29] Next, "Holiday" is performed spontaneously.[30] The segment ends with a stripped down version of "Masterpiece".[31]
It led to a video inferlude for "Justify My Love" featuring Jabbawockeez-inspired dancers on stage. The third section begins with "Vogue" in which Madonna donned a reinvented cone bra designed by Jean Paul Gaultier along with her dancers wearing black avant-garde dresses.[32] Then Madonna performs a mashup of "Candy Shop" and "Erotica" while the stage turned on a burlesque bordello. Next, Madonna sings "Human Nature" while shifting mirrors move around the stage before performing a strip-tease.[29] She continues singing "Like a Virgin" being performed with a pianist playing "Evgeni's Waltz". The segment ends with Madonna performing "Love Spent" while fans threw many a dollar bill onstage and a shirtless dancer puts a corset on Madonna and pulls the strings while she feigns she is out of breath.[33] A video interlude of "Nobody Knows Me" in a collage-like political and economic film morphed Madonna's face with a number of famous figures, including Chinese leader Hu Jintao, US Republican former presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Pope Benedict XVI.[34][35] The face of French far right politician Marine Le Pen appeared on the screen with a swastika on her forehead, before it morphes into the face of Adolf Hitler.[35][36] "I'm Addicted" opens the final section witha disco-glam Joan d'Arc-inspired Madonna along with her dancers dressed in shaolin-inspired clothing.[37] The following song, "I'm a Sinner", features Madonna on guitar and wearing garlands of flowers while the backdrops feature a train travelling through India, along with elements of "Cyber-Raga" incorporated into the song.[37] A modernized version of "Like a Prayer" follows with Buddhists and gospel singers as a church choir.[38] Madonna returns to the stage to sing the final song, a high-energy version of "Celebration", with a DJ theme.[26]
Critical reception[edit]
Jon Parales from The New York Times wrote that "the concert is a display of energy and nutty inventiveness, with Madonna costumed as everything from baton twirler to folk dancer", adding that it "is less a story than an excellent excuse for extravagant, perpetually surprising production numbers involving more than three dozen performers, while it turns some of Madonna's past hits inside out."[25] New York Daily News called the show "an idea-intensive, message-packed riddle wrapped in an enigma that must be seen to be believed", arguing that the show's risky artistry "deserves praise".[39] Saeed Saeed from The National states the show was "bearing [Madonna's] soul". He said that while her previous tour saw her lightly poking fun at herself and her various musical guises throughout the years, this concert was sometimes dark and suffocating and as much an emotional exorcism as a performance.[40] Neil McCormick from The Daily Telegraph assessed the concert, assigning it 4 out of 5 stars, and wrote, "[t]he real highlight of this show was a stripped back version of 'Like a Virgin'... Madonna proved herself more than equal to be challenge of all her young pretenders".[38] Glenn Gamboa from Newsday wrote that "her latest reinvention might be her most revealing yet" because "her wild, nearly two-hour show is closest to reflecting her current state of mind, while building yet another artistic, well-choreographed slacklining spectacle."[29] Marc-André Lemieux from Le Journal de Montréal gave a positive view, writing: "the indestructible icon has proposed a concert sometimes dark, sometimes light, but always entertaining and challenging" and commenting that the show is "a fascinating exercise that reflects the journey of a pop singer who has reached her full artistic maturity."[41] Sarah Rodman from Boston Globe praised her performance writing: "the truly, remarkably indefatigable pop superstar powered her way through a performance just shy of two hours and heavy on the razzle dazzle but light on hits" also noting how Madonna "remains impressively fleet of foot, dancing nearly non-stop, and when she sang live, perfectly competent of voice, even if the mix didn't always do her favors and her crew was impressive."[24]
Shirley Halperin from The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "With three decades of superstardom under her belt, Madonna has pretty much perfected the art of mass entertainment with a hint of scandal. So it should come as no surprise, even in the Holy Land, that her show would open with a giant cross, the clang of a church bell and cloaked clergymen"; while the show was given a positive review, the fact that the tour contains many songs from the MDNA album was criticized.[42] Bernard Perusse from Ottawa Citizen named her an entertainer who outdoes all her imitators and progeny when it comes to pop – a point made clear when she incorporated Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" into "Express Yourself".[26] Chris Cobb from the same newspaper called the performance in Ottawa a Broadway show on wheels and writing: "in a sense it doesn't really matter what songs Madonna chooses to sing because the spectacle, with all its bells and whistles, is all."[43] Hardeep Phull from the New York Post acclaimed her performance in Yankee Stadium, writing: "the shock-and-awe tactics have been a staple of her 30-year career, but right now they seem to be an especially savvy move" and that the show "remains a master class in performance and spectacle."[44] Dean Piper writing for Daily Mirror gave it four out of five stars, criticizing the choice of venue and sound quality, but praising the general concert.[31] Vogue Italia's Giulia Blasi reviewed the show as "huge, spectacular, often slightly tacky, obviously expensive" and blamed "the poor quality of the sound for anyone not standing directly in front of the stage", noting "suspiciously pristine vocals in the middle of very choreography-heavy songs."[45] The Independent wrote that the tour "goes off with a whimper, not a bang".[46] Michael Hubbard from musicOMH rated the concert 2.5 out of five stars, noting that "the vocals are unremarkable at best and auto-tuned to oblivion at worst", calling it "a gig that lacked oomph throughout."[47]
Commercial reception[edit]
Following the tickets sale opening, The MDNA Tour created huge demand from public and many venues were instantly sold out. Six weeks before the premiere, Arthur Fogel, chairman of Live Nation Global Touring, had already made an estimate that the tour was on track to be among the top-ten tours of all time. He announced that more than 1.4 million tickets had been already sold up to that point, banking about US$214 million for an average US$2.7 million per show in a mix of stadiums and arenas.[48] Madonna's first ever show in Abu Dhabi had fans lined up in front of the Virgin Megastore for tickets of 24 hours before they went on general sale, according to local newspaper The National.[49] All initial 22,000 tickets sold out in record-breaking one hour, prompting the promoter to add the second date there.[50][51] All tickets for Madonna's concert in Istanbul sold out in four days.[52] German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported that both of Madonna's shows in Berlin sold out only in few hours after tickets went on sale.[53] All available tickets for Madonna's first date in Amsterdam sold out in 30 minutes.[54]
In the United States, 60,000 tickets for the first show in Yankee Stadium, New York City sold out in 20 minutes, resulting an additional date in the venue.[55] Tickets for the show in Kansas City sold out in 12 minutes, while the show in Houston sold out in less than an hour.[56][57] In Canada, the concert at the Bell Centre sold 16,000 tickets in 20 minutes, along with the show at the Plains of Abraham, selling 65,000 tickets in one hour.[58] In Ottawa, 15,000 tickets for the show in Scotiabank Place sold out in 21 minutes, becoming the fastest-selling concert in the arena's 16-year history, beating out previous record holder AC/DC in 2009.[59] In Mexico, the most expensive tickets for her show sold out within two hours and fifteen minutes during the pre-sales, prompting the promoter to announce the second date for Mexico City.[60] In Colombia, her first concert in Medellín sold 38,000 tickets immediately during the pre-sale, and the remaining 2,000 tickets for the public sale sold out in three hours.[61][62] Madonna also sold more than 100,000 tickets within two days in Brazil.[63] Madonna's concerts in Latin America outsell Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball Tour by three to one, while tickets for Madonna's shows are three times as expensive as those for Gaga's concerts.[64]
After its completion, The MDNA Tour became the tenth highest-grossing tour of all time, grossing $305.2 million from 88 sold-out shows.[65] It also surpassed Celine Dion's Taking Chances Tour as the second highest-grossing tour among female artists, only behind Madonna's own Sticky & Sweet Tour.[66] By the end of the year, Billboard declared the tour as the highest-grossing tour of 2012, making it Madonna's third time closing a year at the top of the box office heap, the others being 2009 and 2004. Madonna joined The Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead and Bon Jovi as the only acts to be Billboard's highest-grossing tour twice in a three-year span.[65] At the 2012 Billboard Touring Awards, The MDNA Tour was nominated in three categories—Top Tour, Concert Marketing & Promotion Award and Top Manager for Guy Oseary—however not winning any of the nominations.[67] Madonna ultimately received Top Touring Artist trophy at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.[68]
During the morphing collage of the video interlude "Nobody Knows Me", the face of French far right politician Marine Le Pen appeared on the screen with a swastika on her forehead.[69][36][70] Le Pen has threatened to sue Madonna should this happen during her concert in France on July 14, 2012, also known as Bastille Day, the French National Day.[71] Socialist French government spokesperson Najat Vallaud-Belkacem has also expressed her disappointment. Later, the swastika was removed and replaced by an interrogation mark.[72] In wake of the 2012 Aurora shooting, Madonna was urged to remove the use of firearms from the show. Authorities previously warned the singer about use of guns for the concert in Edinburgh, before the concerts in Colorado. However, the order was reinforced after the tragedy occurred. Madonna continued the show in Scotland as planned, with the use of the props.[73] Although threatened, Scottish police did not interrupt the show.[74]
Madonna's second show in Paris at L'Olympia was met with negative reviews from fans and critics, with most of the criticism centering on the fact that the concert lasted only 45 minutes, even though the tickets had been sold at the same price as for the other MDNA Tour shows and fans hadn't been alerted of the abbreviated format of the show.[75] According to TMZ, the riot at the concert had nothing to do with her brief performance but with around 10 "fans" in the audience who overheard yelling about Marine Le Pen.[76] However, several French news outlets reported that the backlash against Madonna's performance was started by a considerable number of fans rather than an isolated group of Marine Le Pen supporters.[77][78][79] The concert in Warsaw, Poland, was met with criticism from local religious conservatives who demanded her concert to be cancelled on the basis that the singer is against the church, desecrates religious iconography, promotes homosexuality, transsexuality and transvestism and generally displays abnormal and offensive behavior. Three famous exorcists, Andrzej Grefkowicz, Robert Więcek and Paweł Pająk, wrote an appeal to the Polish people demanding them to pray that the concert does not happen, that, for instance, an electrical problem prevents it from happening. Protestors also mentioned the fact that the date of the concert, August 1st, was the anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, a national holiday, and that Madonna performing on that day would be a disgrace.[80][81]
Madonna's Russian shows in Moscow and Saint Petersburg were met with great controversy. Asked her stance on the arrest of feminist punk-rock band Pussy Riot, Madonna responded: "I'm against censorship, and my whole career I've always promoted freedom of expression and freedom of speech so I think what's happening to them is unfair. And I hope that they don't have to serve 7 years in jail; that would be a tragedy. I think art should be political, that art, historically speaking, always reflects what's going on socially. So for me it's hard to separate being an artist and being political."[82] Other artists also joined her in support of the band, among them Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.[83] Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, however, wrote an expletive-ridden Twitter post lambasting Madonna for backing the band: "With age, every ex-slut tends to lecture everybody on morality. Especially during world tours and concerts."[84] Madonna's second Russian date in Saint Petersburg was consequently met with terrorist threats, prompting the U.S. Embassy to issue a warning to those in attendance.[85] Madonna's spokesperson Liz Rosenberg responded that the concert would go on as scheduled and that Russian authorities would step up security for the date.[85] Before the show in Moscow, Madonna was threatened of arrest by Russian officials if she spoke in support of gay rights and opposed the recent anti-gay law which prohibits "public actions aimed at propaganda of sodomy, lesbianism, bisexuality, and transgenderism among minors". However, the singer released pink wristbands to audience members in support of the LGBT community and hundreds brought rainbow flags to the show and waved them throughout. Madonna stopped in the middle of the show to speak on the issues at hand: "...I feel that people are becoming more and more afraid of people who are different. People are becoming more and more intolerant, but we can make a difference...we don't have to do it with violence, but love."[86][87] Though her speech was met with much praise from the media, on August 17, it was announced that anti-gay Russian campaigners would sue Madonna for $10.4 million, arguing that she was promoting "homosexual propaganda" which was against the law, and allegedly "insulted their feelings when she spoke out for gay rights" at the concert.[88]
Broadcasts and recordings[edit]
Madonna's intimate concert on July 26, 2012 at the Olympia theatre in Paris was streamed online via LoveLive's YouTube channel. Toby L, creative director of the channel commented that they were "beyond elated to be hosting a global stream of one of the world's most iconic artists in such a unique and intimate circumstance which will bring our audience closer than ever to Madonna".[89] A post stream of the show was also available to watch. The show consisted of nine songs, including the original setlist of the tour, from "Turn Up the Radio" to "Human Nature" with two other songs: "Beautiful Killer", with elements from "Die Another Day", and "Je t'aime... moi non plus", a cover of the song by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin.[89]
On November 17, 2012, it was announced that the November 19 and 20 shows in Miami, at the American Airlines Arena, would be filmed for the tour DVD and Blu-ray release.[90] It was initially planned for Madonna to film the concert in Colombia, but due to the film director's schedule issues it could not been filmed in the city.[91] For the Miami shows, Madonna partnered with Vyclone.com for the MDNA Film Project and asked those attending to film "Give Me All Your Luvin'" with their phones from their perspective and upload it to the Vyclone website using their app. In return they would receive a muilti-angle film of the song.[92][93] A concert special titled The MDNA Tour premiered on Epix on June 22, 2013.[94] Additionally, a live and video album, MDNA World Tour, was released on CD, DVD and Blu-ray in September 2013.[95]

Mr. Magoo (voice)
Mr. Magoo's dog is threatened by the dog catcher (who Magoo takes for a policeman). He's given until noon to license it. As he's preparing to leave, a circus goes by; he hitches a ride in a clown car (thinking it's a taxi) and, after a digress through the big top and into the gorilla cage (mayor's office), he ends up in the panther cage. He thinks the panther is his dog, and that he's been captured by the dog catcher, so he slips on the collar and takes it home. When Magoo gets home, the dogcatcher is waiting for him, but at the sight of the panther, he gives Magoo the license and traps the panther under a washtub. As the circus people cart it away, Magoo slips the license onto his tigerskin rug's head. Written by Jon Reeves <firstname.lastname@example.com>

Fugue 2 / Song of Daedalus Lyrics
Artist: Joe Jackson
Album: Heaven & Hell
Call me cool as January
I walk like the breeze
And wear the world like filigree
Call me too large for life
That's only sticks and stones
I'm standing so tall
It seems that I've grown
Call me irresponsible
Your rules of the game
Are only clouds to float above
Call me, let's do lunch
When I get time for girls
I'm working on things
To astonish the world
Call me weird and laugh at me
I tell you it's true
I've found a cure for Gravity
Call me mad as March
High as in Hogmanay
Just watch me and weep
I'm out of this maze
See the wings made of feathers, of wax and of thread
See me soar high above all the quick and the dead
Call me now
Call me Stars and Moon and Plough
Call me Lord, call me Sire
Call me Earth and Wind and Fire
Call me Judge, call me Shah
Call me King, call me Tsar

LSU tobacco-free plans announced
BATON ROUGE - The ashtrays have been removed from LSU's campus and the Baton Rouge campus will make history on Aug. 1 by going completely smoke-free.
LSU is required to ban tobacco use on August 1 in accordance with the Louisiana Legislature's smoke-free requirement for public post-secondary institutions in the state, but administration says the campus will see benefits from the change.
"Going tobacco-free underscores our commitment to a healthy environment for our students, faculty and staff," said LSU President & Chancellor F. King Alexander. "It is also in keeping with policies in place at many universities across the country. Overall, it's simply the right thing to do for LSU."
The policy includes smoking and other tobacco based products and applies to all individuals while on LSU campus, including faculty, staff, students, administrators, contractors and visitors. E-cigarettes and similar products are also banned under the policy.
Developers of the policy said they considered the impact on the personal freedom of individuals in the LSU community, but concern about the negative health effects, facilities administration cost and student recruitment considerations took priority.
While ashtrays are no longer provided on the university grounds, early enforcement of the policy will depend on respect and cooperation from students, staff and the public, according to LSU administration.
The university intends to follow up the ban with support for students and employees who want to quit using tobacco products, including tobacco cessation counseling and resources from the LSU Student Health Center. Spokesperson Ernie Ballard said information cards explaining the policy were also being handed out to students and faculty at orientation events, and were being sent out to season ticket holders to make them aware the policies also extended to on-campus tailgating.
For more information on LSU's tobacco free movement and resources to help quit, please visit the university's We're Tobacco Free! website.

I argued in a previous post that listening to music was becoming less an aural experience and more a data processing task, thanks the the metadata available for manipulation through iTunes. Organizing is becoming a more primary pleasure experience than the responsiveness of our senses. Soon, we dream in spreadsheets.
Hal Foster, in his essay "Design and Crime"—itself a play on Loos's landmark manifesto against art nouveau decorousness, "Ornament and Crime"—explores this idea about data processing as well, linking it to the elevation of design as a product in and of itself. With the "retooling of the economy around digitizing and computing," products are "no longer thought of as objects to be produced so much as data to be maipulated—that is, to be designed and redesigned, consumed and reconsumed." In other words orchestrating playlists and loading album cover jpegs is a personal amateur design task, something that takes back some of the way these issues are settled beforehand (the subject of this previous post). It adds life to product already purchased, potentially freeing one from having to make another purchase to get the little bump of engagement and pleasure.
Much of this relies, in the music world, on metadata controlled and supplied by Gracenote, who provides the information that allows your computer to fill in all the song titles and so on when you rip a CD to your hard drive. Their business model relies on the importance of metadata to our listening experience. But the company is not without competition. Detailed here is an open-source service looking to eradicate Gracenote and promote the idea that metadata is public domain information, a shared cultural resource that makes culture—the public debate and shared enthusiasms for things—possible. All that's well and good, but as metadata becomes more valuable, as it comes to supplant music as it has seemingly started to, it's likely that the incentives will be strong to brand the information, make it exploitable as a resource. Services may compete to enrich that data, jazz it up with animations (album "covers" will become little movies, perhaps) and lyrics and DVD-style extras that point out alternates or making-of historical details. And the song will be more or less forgotten at some point, presuming the celebrities involved with making it are exciting enough.

Cohesion between sister chromatids is critical for the accuracy of the chromosome segregation process during cell division (Peters et al, 2008; Nasmyth & Haering, 2009). Cohesion is established during replication of chromosomes in mitotic and meiotic cells through chromosomal loading of a conserved ring-shaped protein structure, the cohesin complex. The cohesin core complex in mitotic cells is composed of four subunits, two SMC proteins (structural maintenance of chromosomes), Smc1 and Smc3, one α-kleisin protein (Rad21, also called Scc1 or Mcd1), and one SA protein (stromal antigen, also called Scc3). Smc1 and Smc3 together generate a ring-like structure that is sealed through the association of Rad21 to the globular terminal domains of the SMC proteins. Destruction of Rad21, through proteolytic cleavage at the metaphase-to-anaphase stage of mitosis, removes cohesion between sister chromatids, allowing their individual segregation into separate daughter cells. Two different SA proteins have been characterized in mitotic cells of vertebrates, STAG1 and STAG2 (also called SA1 and SA2). The binding of SA proteins to Rad21 generates two separate cohesin complexes, contributing to centromere cohesion (STAG2), as well as telomere cohesion (STAG1) (Canudas & Smith, 2009). Inactivation of Stag1 in mice results in embryonic lethality, whereas heterozygous Stag1 mutant mice display a short lifespan and an enhanced level of tumorigenesis (Remeseiro et al, 2012). Four meiosis-specific cohesin core components have been identified in vertebrates, SMC1β, RAD21L, REC8, and STAG3 (also called SA3) (Pezzi et al, 2000; Prieto et al, 2001, 2002; Revenkova et al, 2001; Eijpe et al, 2003; Lee et al, 2003; Gutierrez-Caballero et al, 2011; Ishiguro et al, 2011; Lee & Hirano, 2011). Expression studies of the meiosis-specific and the mitotic cohesin core proteins during meiosis in mice have revealed both constitutive, as well as transient, expression patterns. In agreement with these findings, biochemical experiments support the presence of at least six different cohesin complexes in meiotic cells (Fig 1A) (Ishiguro et al, 2011; Jessberger, 2011; Lee & Hirano, 2011).
The functions of the different cohesin complexes during meiosis are yet poorly understood. It is known that cohesin core proteins contribute to the assembly of a chromosome axis in meiotic cells (a cohesin axis) that holds sister chromatids together and from which chromatin loops emanate (Klein et al, 1999; Pelttari et al, 2001). The cohesin axis is necessary for the assembly of the synaptonemal complex (SC), a meiosis-specific protein structure (Klein et al, 1999; Llano et al, 2012). The SC is essential for synapsis of homologous chromosomes, and for the formation of crossovers in mammalian cells, recombination events that ensure that the homologous chromosomes are faithfully segregated at the first meiotic division (de Vries et al, 2005; Kouznetsova et al, 2009, 2011). The SC is composed of three distinct protein substructures, axial elements (AEs), transverse filaments, and a central element (Zickler & Kleckner, 1999; Page & Hawley, 2004). The AE of the SC assembles on the sister chromatid axis at the leptotene stage of the first meiosis (meiosis I), overlapping with the cytological localization of the cohesin axis. Binding of transverse filament proteins to the AEs at the zygotene stage of meiosis I regulates assembly of a central element in between the aligned homologous chromosomes (Costa et al, 2005; Hamer et al, 2006; Schramm et al, 2011). Longitudinal polymerization of the transverse filaments and the central element of the SC along the aligned homologous chromosomes then results in synapsis, that is, close pairing of the homologous chromosomes at the pachytene stage of meiosis I. The SC is dissolved at the diplotene stage of meiosis I, after which the homologous chromosomes remain attached to each other through chiasmata, physical linkages resulting from the crossover recombination process (Petronczki et al, 2003). Cohesin complexes are removed from the sister chromatids in two steps, at the metaphase–anaphase transition of meiosis I, when arm cohesion is lost, and at the metaphase–anaphase transition at meiosis II, when centromere cohesion is lost (Petronczki et al, 2003).
The functions of the vertebrate meiosis-specific cohesin core components SMC1β, REC8, and RAD21L in cohesion, synapsis, and recombination have been studied in mice (Bannister et al, 2004; Revenkova et al, 2004; Xu et al, 2005; Herran et al, 2011; Llano et al, 2012; Ishiguro et al, 2014). Rec8-null mice were found to display shortened chromosome axes, inter-sister SC assembly and impaired DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair in meiotic cells (Bannister et al, 2004; Xu et al, 2005), whereas Rad21L-null mice displayed fragmented chromosome axes, non-homologous synapsis and impaired DSB repair (Herran et al, 2011). In contrast, Rec8 and Rad21L double-null mice failed to form meiotic chromosome axes and did not assemble AEs or SCs (Llano et al, 2012; Ishiguro et al, 2014). Finally, inactivation of Smc1β has been shown to result in shortened chromosome axes, extensions of chromatin loops, and incomplete synapsis, and to affect sister chromatid cohesion and recombination, as well as telomere integrity (Revenkova et al, 2004; Novak et al, 2008; Adelfalk et al, 2009). We have now investigated the in vivo function of the only known meiosis-specific SA component, STAG3. Phenotypic analysis of mice with a hypomorphic allele of Stag3 reveals that STAG3 is of critical importance for stabilization of REC8 cohesin complexes and their association with the meiotic chromosome axes. Loss of REC8 in homozygous Stag3 mutant mice from the meiotic chromosome axes, but not RAD21L or RAD21, results in chromosome axis compaction and synapsis failure. Thus, α-kleisins show a different dosage-dependent requirement for STAG3, contributing to a functional diversification among the different cohesin complexes present in meiotic cells.

The first two of four 69.5-ft aluminium patrol boats for the Armed Forces of Malta (AFM) have been launched at Austal's Western Australian facilities – less than seven months from initial contract signing.
Launch of the remaining two aluminium vessels will occur in coming weeks, with the four-vessel fleet on schedule for delivery in November.
With a speed of more than 26 knots, the vessels are designed to assist the AFM with surveillance and border protection throughout Malta's coastal waters. Each vessel will be equipped with a 12.7mm gun, as well as two 7.62mm light machine guns on the aft flybridge deck.
The vessels also boast fire fighting capability via a fire monitor on the aft flybridge deck, while a radio direction finder capable of tracking emergency frequencies allows the vessels to perform search and rescue operations.
Austal Business Development Manager – Defence, Jamie Robinson, said the 69.5-ft platform was capable of performing a number of different roles.
"One of the standout characteristics of these vessels is their versatility, particularly considering the size of the vessel," Robinson said.
"Customers are increasingly attracted to vessels that meet multiple requirements, avoiding the need for dedicated craft for each role. This combines with a growing need for fast delivery times, which in this case will be just nine months from initial contract signing," he said.
Adding to the platform's versatility is a bilge manifold located above the main aft deck, which can perform salvage pumping of another vessel if needed. A stern launching ramp allows the safe deployment and retrieval of a rigid hull inflatable boat and dive operations are also supported via low-to-the-water platforms located aft.
Sea trials of the first two vessels will take place over coming weeks.
