"I have Felt it" Reports --> see below + Let us know "how you have felt this earthquake"
To read the full story as it happened, we advise our readers to start at the lower part of the page (earthquake data).

Keep this page open or return regularly as we will be back with more details when they become available
-The director of Onemi Mr. Bejamin Chacana, has made a summary of this morning's earthquake. He said that the basis for the preventive evacuation was the seismological report that an intensity of VII was expected. Nearly 13,000 people living along the coast have been asked to evacuate to higher ground. A special committee has decided to lift the evacuation a little more than 2 hours later. He also said the telecommunications (fixed and mobile) were congested but work again normal 4 hours later. He confirmed the earlier reported fatalities.
- Earthquake-report.com has unfortunately to report that a second person has lost his life as an indirect result of the earthquake. Luis Órdenes Tapia, 59 years old, was under treatment for a critical cancer.
- A lot of people are questioning ONEMI for a) calling for an evacuation where the local specialists (SHOA) were reporting NO immediate danger and b) the Magnitude setting vs the Magnitude reported by USGS. Chileans are giving the USGS a lot of value while at the same time underestimating their own seismological agencies. We truly understand that the world is looking almost instantly to the USGS for earthquake data (just like we do too), but contrary to most people in the world earthquake-report.com turns immediately to local agencies to find out which numbers they are reporting. This way, we have noticed that ONEMI Chile should NOT be criticized that much because they are doing a really great job with a lot of skilled people. Onemi takes NO risk at all if a serious quake happens in a a direct coastal area. Earthquake-Report.com is very sure that even without Onemi telling to evacuate, people living along the coast would AUTO-EVACUATE immediately after a strong VI or VII MMI shaking.
- Update 08:44 UTC : Preventive evacuation has been lifted 3 hours 48 minutes after the mainshock!
- In the video below captured in the CNN studios from Santiago de Chile, we have timed that the strongest shaking went on for about 8 seconds and that the shaking ended after approx. 35 seconds.
- Power is now been restored to 99% of the grid and only the town of Maitencillo in the Vth district has still some areas without power
- Update 07:57 UTC : 8 aftershocks since the mainshock
- A seismologist from the Universidad de Chile Santiago has declared that today's earthquake is NOT related with the February 27, 2010 mega-quake.
- 1 indirect death has occurred with the death of a 72 year old man during evacuation in Quintero (probably due to the stress). This earthquake has been labeled CATDAT Orange under the new criteria of indirect deaths.
UPDATE 6.15UTC - Power has been restored in Quintero.
- A slight landslide occurred blocking a road but has now been cleared.
- USGS has increased the magnitude of the quake to Mw6.7 with a depth of 36km. This explains the longer duration and widespread intensity without being extremely damaging.
- 26km (16mi) WNW from Hacienda La Calera, Chile
- 28km (17mi) NW from Quillota, Chile
- 36km (22mi) N from Vina del Mar, Chile
- 36km (22mi) SW from La Ligua, Chile
- Carlos Robles reports (based on local reports) :
* The earthquake caused panic in the capital.
* It was felt from Coquimbo to Bio Bio and lasted some minutes.
* There are electric cuts around the country.
- The long duration of the quake (1 minute reported in Valparaiso by one of our readers) may have reduced the damage due to lower ground motions
- @ Earthquake-Report.com we are very happy that our QuakeSOS application has been used so much during this earthquake. Many people have informed their relatives and friends that they are safe. No alerts for Help so far
- The Video below is from the studios of CNN Chile and shows the kind of shaking the studio had to sustain. Following ONEMI Chile, the shaking we are seeing on this video is labeled approx. MMI VI (strong shaking).
- Earthquake-Report.com reader message from Valparaiso : No previous sound, It started reaaally strong, right from the beginning, some things fell, the sad thing is telephones lines went down... again.
Once again Earthquake-Report.com requests the authorities to act against Telecommunications companies. Solutions to keep using phones are easy and can mostly be implemented rather fast, but the political will does not exist yet to impose these measures. What has to be done : only allow voice for emergency services and force a "Text messages Only" traffic for all other users. Nowadays everything is possible and everything goes down, over and over again anywhere in the world.
- We received also a lot of I Have Felt It reports from the Mendoza, Cordoba aea in Argentina!
- Update 05:23 UTC - ONEMI is still maintaining the "preventive" evacuation order for the coastal areas described below (similar update)
- Chile affected people will not have a quiet night as the many aftershocks will regularly wake them up.
- All local reports are mentioning "NO damage or injuries so far"
- MMI Intensities in Región: Valparaíso - Calera:VII, Casablanca:VII, Hijuelas:VII, La Ligua:VI, Quillota:V, Quilpué :V, San Antonio:V, Santo Domingo: V, Valparaíso:VII, Villa Alemana :VII
- Región: Metropolitana de Santiago - Melipilla:VI, Peñaflor:VI, San José de Maipo:VI, Santiago:VI, Talagante:VI, Tiltil:VII
- As said earlier in the article, the earthquake is NOT strong enough to generate a tsunami. SHOA, the army division specialized in alerting for Tsunami danger, has reported that the conditions to generate a tsunami are NOT present.
- No historic quakes of this magnitude have caused deaths within the epicentral region, so there is a very minor chance of fatalities.
- USGS states (based on theoretical calculations and historic data) that there is very little chance of major damage or fatalities. Earthquake-report.com expects exactly the same.
- Today's earthquake is triggered by the collision of the Nazca plate (Oceanic plate) with the South American plate (continental plate).
- Mostly the epicenters of Chile earthquakes are below the sea floor at a distance of 20 to 30 km from the coast (fault line)
- We want to stress the Chile people are among the best trained people in the world to cope with earthquakes, at least equal or even better than the Japanese.
- As every earthquake is perceived differently, it is impossible to compare numbers. The current epicentral area has had similar quakes than today which were slightly damaging, others with bigger magnitudes have been without damage or injuries.
- While we are writing this article, we are searching locally for more information on the impact of the earthquake
- Update 04:55 UTC : ONEMI has called the people from Tongoy until Constitucion (provinces of Coquimbo until Maule) to evacuate to higher grounds. They are emphasizing that they are maintaining the evacuation order.
- Since the mainshock the area has been hit by 2 M+4 aftershocks
- The seismology department of the Universidad de Chile, Santiago reports a Magnitude of 6.3 at a depth of 31.2 km.
- Until now, our QuakeSOS iPhone application has only received I AM SAFE messages !
- Based on the intensities reported by USGS the shaking must have been stronger than theoretically calculated by them. Just like the expectations of local ONEMI, reported intensities are mounting to VII (very strong shaking)
- James Daniell, the CATDAT earthquake damage specialist says that : It can be expected that there will be minor damage.
- An ER reader from Vina del Mar (close to the epicenter) talks about : Between moderate and strong shaking for more than a minute
A person from Valparaiso writes : second aftershock weaker than the fist aftershock. Guessing second was a 3 first was a 4.3 the actual earthquake was more than a 6.4... maybe it just feels stronger because I am on the 10th floor of a tower... in the big one 2 years ago the shaking was less but I was in Puerto Varas and in a house.
- The Mw7.9 earthquake in 1985 killed 177 and injured 2575 but the effects will not be comparable to this quake.
- Of the 50+ previous CATDAT damaging earthquakes, the closest to this earthquake were the M6.7 earthquake around 20km away from this quake which only caused minor damage.
- Chile houses have a very good earthquake resistance
- The 1906 earthquake was M8.5 and killed 3882 people, but was offshore (also far bigger than todays earthquake.
- The major Chile earthquake of 1906 and 1985 were within a radius of 100km.
- Historically, there have been at least 50 damaging earthquakes within a 100km radius of the epicenter
- Strongest intensities have been experienced in Titil and Rancagua following ONEMI Chile (MMI VII = very strong shaking)
- ONEMI Chile is calling the earthquake one of Mayor Intensidad (great intensity).
- 532,000 people will have experienced a strong shaking and nearly a million people a moderate shaking. 8 million people a light shaking
- The epicenter may be positioned in the sea or just below land
- The earthquake struck on the coastal strip 42 km to the north of Valparaiso and 112 km from the Capital Santiago

QPR remain at foot of the English Premier League after losing 3-0 to a far superior Liverpool side.
Liverpool ended a difficult year in promising style by winning 3-0 at Queens Park Rangers on Sunday to leave Harry Redknapp's hapless side eight points adrift at the foot of the Premier League.
Liverpool have never previously lost as many league matches in a calendar year – 17 – but a Luis Suarez brace and a Daniel Agger header in the first half mean they will start 2013 in ninth place in the top flight.
Illness meant that Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was not present to witness the game, but Redknapp may have wished that he, too, had stayed away after his 600th Premier League game ended in chastening defeat.
The QPR manager elected to replace Rob Green with Julio Cesar in goal and the former Brazil goalkeeper quickly found himself udner assault at Loftus Road.
Suarez got his first sight of goal in the third minute after nutmegging Clint Hill, but Julio Cesar was equal to his effort.
It was a different story seven minutes later, however, as Suarez flummoxed Hill with a sharp turn on the cusp of the 18-yard area before coolly rolling the ball into the bottom-left corner.
The Uruguayan made it 2-0 in the 16th minute, following in from close range after his initial cross came back to him via Nedum Onuoha to register his 13th league goal of the campaign.
It was one-way traffic, with Julio Cesar fumbling a Steven Gerrard shot and the recalled Jordan Henderson steaming in to prod the ball wide.
Liverpool's third goal came in the 28th minute and once again the hosts' defence was easily exposed, with Gerrard afforded far too much time to deliver a right-wing cross that Agger nodded in.
Desperate blocks from Armand Traore and Ryan Nelsen prevented Gerrard from inflicting further damage prior to half-time, before Adel Taarabt belatedly responded for QPR with a swirling left-foot shot that Pepe Reina fielded.
Julio Cesar denied Suarez a hat-trick early in the second half by pushing a fierce shot from the former Ajax striker onto the crossbar.
QPR showed greater desire to get forward following the change of ends and after Traore drilled a low cross across goal, Stephane Mbia had three attempts at goal from distance, two of which required Reina to save.
Liverpool lost Jose Enrique to an apparent hamstring injury late in the game, but, Rodgers' absence notwithstanding, it was the only troubling element of a very straightforward victory.

Alpine Canada is home to three of Canada's fastest and most exciting snow sports: alpine, ski cross and para-alpine ski racing. Each sport has a different set of rules, but each athlete has the same goal: get to the bottom of the mountain faster than anyone else.
Over the last half-century, Alpine Canada's athletes have done just that winning countless world championship medals, Olympic medals, Paralympic medals, X Games medals, and World Cup podiums.
Here's a look back at some of Alpine Canada's proudest moments. Please note, complete lists of all medal winners are located at the bottom of this page.
Alpine Canada's history of champions started in 1956 when Montreal's Lucile Wheeler won Canada's first Olympic alpine medal – a bronze in downhill in Cortina d'Ampezzo, ITA. Two years later, she went on to win double gold at the world championships, starting a Canadian tradition of skiing excellence that would eventually rival any country in the world.
In 1960, Anne Heggtveit became the first Canadian to win an Olympic gold medal in slalom at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, USA. In 1967, Canada's Nancy Greene won the World Cup overall title in the very first alpine World Cup season. She went on to win the title again in 1968, the same year she won gold and silver at the Grenoble Olympic Games in giant slalom and slalom. In 1999, Greene was named Canada's Female Athlete of the Century by the Canadian Press.
The 1970's started with 16-year-old Betsy Clifford winning the world giant slalom championships and six years later, Kathy Kreiner won Olympic Gold in giant slalom. Also in the '70s, Canada's Crazy Canucks - including Ken Read, Steve Podborski, Dave Irwin and Dave Murray - conquered race courses with their bold and daring racing style and proved to the world that you didn't need to be European to win ski races. In 1975, Read became the first non-European man to win a World Cup downhill race. Together, the Crazy Canucks earned 107 top-10 World Cup results from 1978–1984. Podborski still holds the men's Canadian record of 20 World Cup podiums.
Also during the '70s, the Paralympic movement (which had started after wounded World War II veterans returned home) was gaining momentum around the world, and in 1976, the first Paralympic Games were held in Örnsköldsvik, SWE. John Gow won Canada's first Paralympic alpine gold in slalom.
In the early '80s, Podborski made history when he became the first North American to win an Olympic medal in men's alpine after claiming bronze in downhill at Lake Placid, U.S.A in 1980. Two years later, he became the first North American to win the overall World Cup title in downhill.
At the 1984 Paralympic Games in Innsbruck, AUT, the para-alpine team set a new Canadian record for a single Games, winning 14 alpine medals.
The '80s were also a time when Canada's women's alpine skiing team shone, with Gerry Sorensen winning the 1982 world downhill championships and Laurie Graham, Karen Percy and Gerry Sorensen capturing five Olympic and world championship medals combined between 1982 and 1989.
The highlight for the women's team came in 1988 when Karen Percy, from Banff, Alta., became a hometown hero by winning the first Canadian medal of the Calgary Olympic Games. The 21-year-old won downhill bronze on the seventh day of competition and went on to win another bronze in super-G a few days later.
The '90s were a ground-breaking decade for Canada's downhill skiers. In 1992, Kerrin Lee-Gartner became the first Canadian to win gold in Olympic downhill at the Games in Albertville, FRA. Kate Pace continued Canada's downhill domination the following year by winning the world championship title in Morioka, Japan. Then in 1994, Edi Podivinsky grabbed Olympic bronze in downhill in Lillehammer, Norway, a highlight of his 13-year career with Canada's Alpine Ski Team. Also in 1994, 17-year-old Mélanie Turgeon made her debut, winning five medals, two of them gold in the World Junior Championships. She would go on to win the world downhill championships nine years later (in 2003).
By the end of the decade, a new ski sport was emerging. In 1999, skier X (or ski cross) debuted at the Winter X Games in Aspen, U.S.A, featuring six skiers racing head to head down an extreme course of jumps and banked turns. After the event, the popularity of ski cross spread across North America and Europe and was adopted by the International Ski Federation in 2002 as one of its official ski sports.
The Canadian men's alpine team began a new era of excellence with Thomas Grandi, a technical specialist, who recorded nine World Cup podiums and inspired the next generation of alpine ski racers. That generation of skiers became known as the Canadian Cowboys.
The Canadian Cowboys – Benjamin Thomsen, Erik Guay, Francois Bourque, Manny Osborne Paradis, John Kucera, Dustin Cook, Mike Janyk and Jan Hudec – were a force on the World Cup tour. In 2009, Kucera became the first Canadian male to win a world championship gold medal in downhill with a famous victory in Val d'Isere, France. The Cowboys made Canada's men's team a threat on the world stage once again. In 2009, Kucera became the first Canadian male to win a world championship gold medal in downhill with a famous victory in Val d'Isere, FRA. The Cowboys made Canada's men's team a threat on the world stage once again.
While alpine athletes were racking up podiums, Canada was gathering a team of skiers to challenge the ski cross podium at the sport's first Olympic Games in Vancouver. In 2007, Canada unveiled its first official national ski cross team.
Canada's para-alpine ski team was making history as well. In 2007, Karolina Wisniewska, eight-time Paralympic medallist, became the first Paralympian to be inducted into the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame.
Making history now
In 2010, Canada established itself as arguably the best ski cross nation in the world after the Canadian ski cross team swept the men's podium at the 2010 Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado. A few months later, ski cross made its debut at the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, where Whistler's Ashleigh McIvor made history by winning the first women's ski cross Olympic gold medal.
At the 2010 Paralympic Games, B.C.'s Lauren Woolstencroft won gold in all five of her events on home soil. She retired after the Games with a career total of 10 Paralympic medals.
In 2011, Alpine Canada's athletes were on top of the world once again as Canada's Chris Del Bosco and Kelsey Serwa won double gold at the ski cross world championships in Deer Valley, U.S.A. Alpine skier Erik Guay proved himself as one of the best Canadian speed skiers of all time by winning gold in downhill at the world championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Later that season, he claimed his 15th World Cup podium, putting him second only to Steve Podborski in Canadian men's World Cup podiums.
Also in 2011, Chris Williamson, from Markham, Ont., made para-alpine history in Arta Terme, ITA, when he stepped on the IPC (International Paralympic Committee) World Cup podium for the 100th time in his career.
In 2012, Jan Hudec, Guay and Ben Thomsen proved to the world that Canada's speed team is a force to be reckoned with when they finished 1-3-5, respectively, in the World Cup downhill in Chamonix, FRA. It was the best result for the men's team since 1994, when Ed Podivinsky and Cary Mullen were first and second in Saalbach, Austria.
A month later on March 4, 2012, a beaming 21-year-old Erin Mielzynski landed on the cover of Canada's national newspapers with her first top-10 World Cup finish. Mielzynski, of Guelph, Ont., captured a gold medal in slalom in Ofterschwang, GER, and became the first Canadian to win a World Cup slalom race in more than 40 years. The last Canadian to stand atop a World Cup slalom podium had been Betsy Clifford in 1971.
Another young, female skier made history in 2012. At 19 years old, Marielle Thompson, of Whistler, B.C., became the first Canadian to win an individual ski cross Crystal Globe after only her second season on the World Cup circuit.

UCONN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: Top-ranked Huskies lose to No. 5 Notre Dame (videos)
STORRS -- The top-ranked UConn women found themselves in perfect position to beat their fiercest rival.
Coming out of a timeout down by one point to Notre Dame, everything seemed to be lining up for a fitting final play in a classic contest.
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, who had 12 of her 17 points in the second half, was all alone in front of the UConn bench. The Huskies' best 3-point shooter took her time and floated her typically majestic shot toward the basket with 6 seconds to play.
But she was just off the mark.
Ariel Braker corralled the long rebound and passed the ball ahead to Skylar Diggins, who dribbled over midcourt and elatedly flipped the ball into the air.
As the clock showed zeroes, the Notre Dame players danced around the court as the dejected Huskies exited stage right following the Fighting Irish's 73-72 win before a sellout crowd of 10,167 at Gampel Pavilion on Saturday.
"It was just Kelly (Faris) driving in and kicking it out," Mosqueda-Lewis said. "I just missed."
UConn (12-1, 0-1 Big East) had the ball and a five-point lead midway through the second half and held the lead in the final two minutes. However, as was the case in last year's national semifinal loss to Notre Dame, the Huskies could not seal the deal.
Natalie Achonwa got Notre Dame within a point when she hit a free throw with 1:58 to play. Breanna Stewart missed back-to-back shots and Mosqueda-Lewis was off target with a 3-pointer to keep the Huskies from adding to the lead.
Diggins hit a pair of free throws with 49 seconds remaining to put Notre Dame back in front. Stewart missed a jumper, but Faris was able to corral the offensive rebound and call a timeout before she could be tied up. Coming out of the timeout things could not have played out any better for the Huskies when Mosqueda-Lewis was left alone.
"You have the best 3-point shooter in the country taking a wide-open 3 to win it and it doesn't go in," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "I'd be more upset if the wrong guy took the wrong shot at the wrong time. We came out of a timeout, had the shot we wanted and it didn't go in."
UConn's defense, which was so stifling in a win at Stanford a week earlier, struggled to contain Notre Dame's perimeter duo of Diggins and Kayla McBride.
The Huskies decided to play Faris, their best perimeter defender, on McBride and let Bria Hartley try to contain Diggins, the reigning Big East Player of the Year.
McBride finished with 21 points while Diggins scored 19 despite going 4 of 15 from the field for fifth-ranked Notre Dame (12-1, 1-0). Michaela Mabrey had three 3-pointers and 11 points and Achonwa 10 points for the Fighting Irish.
"It is frustrating, it is embarrassing," Faris said. "They beat us five out of the last six games, so when that happens it is embarrassing, it really is. They came here on our home court in front of a sold-out crowd and beat us. They did a lot more things good than we did. We came out in the second half with a better mentality, better focus, but it was way too late.
"It is the same stuff. We come down to the end, we have the game in our hands and we come down and lose it. It is frustrating for me because that is my responsibility. I am an upperclassman, I am a leader of the team, I am supposed to know what to do, I am supposed to figure out a way to win the game from start to finish. I didn't come out defensively setting the tone, or offensively. This one is pretty frustrating because this one is on me."
Notre Dame became the first team since Tennessee six years ago to win consecutive regular-season road games against UConn. It was also Notre Dame's fifth win over the Huskies in the last six games.
"It was a fun game to play in," Diggins said. "We knew they were going to have their runs. We wanted to make sure we contained it and absorbed it and go on our runs. It was a back-and-forth game and didn't get past six or eight points.
"It is one of the best crowds in the nation. Playing on TV, this is what it is all about."
Mosqueda-Lewis and Stefanie Dolson had 17 points apiece for UConn, which rallied from a nine-point deficit in the first half. Faris had 13 points and 11 rebounds while Stewart had 10 points, nine rebounds and six blocks.
UConn signee Saniya Chong, a 5-foot-9 guard at Ossining (N.Y.) High), and recruiting target Brianna Turner, a 6-3 forward for Manvel (Texas) High, were at the game and sat a couple of rows behind the Huskies' bench.

Profunda Gravis Metalli
Underground metal is a strange beast. It often struggles to celebrate its successes lest it somehow betray its outsider status. Well, to hell with composure and coolness.
It might seem absurd to suggest that metal has an uneasy relationship with its own success, given that it's generally accompanied by such thunderous adulation. However, there's often a tense standoff in the metal underground around how it should celebrate its accomplishments. Although swaths of fans gather to extol metal's glories at festivals such as the recent Maryland Deathfest, the deeper you descend into metal's subterranean tiers, the more the prospect of widespread recognition becomes abhorrent. A fair proportion of underground metal fans take an extremely dim view of anyone's ego being buffed, however inadvertently.
Some fans would argue that the existence of a column such as this is the antithesis of underground metal's raison d'être. There's sound logic behind that. Keeping metal's victories close to the chest reinforces its bonds of community, that tight-knit kinship being the root of its strength. Others disagree, arguing that isolationism is a manacle. They believe there's nothing inherently wrong in publically celebrating underground metal's often innovative artistry, and that an obsession with kvltdom is ridiculous, considering the umpteen million global fans whose very presence seems to negate metal's 'outsider' status.
It all makes for a conflicting, though hardly unique, situation. The 'popularity versus credibility' battle is one that all challenging music faces daily, and it makes for an interesting quandary in the shadowy world of metal--how does one evolve without compromising one's integrity?
At the Helm of the Abyss
One of the best answers to that question can be found in the works of independent Canadian metal label, Profound Lore. The label is about to reach a significant milestone in July, with its 100th release, and while the label's triumphs are by no means a secret, its reputation and integrity remain rock solid.
Founded in 2004 by Chris Bruni and his now former partners, Profound Lore has had abundant positive press since its inception. Its releases are widely celebrated and anticipated, and its artists have been covered by metal and non-metal media alike. They've been streamed on NPR (US National Public Radio), and have featured in Scion showcases sponsored by Toyota. However, earlier this year the label had its most public success yet when noise/metal outfit Ken Mode collected the metal/hard music album of the year award for Venerable at Canada's Juno awards.
You could argue that metal doesn't need shiny tokens of mainstream acceptance, although it was delightful to see black metal band Watain win a Swedish Grammis in 2011 and round out the acceptance speech with a rousing "Hail Satan". Generally, aside from metal-specific events, the genre is predictably misrepresented at music ceremonies.
Some European awards occasionally pick a worthy underdog, but the majority of events are so far out of touch with the metal scene that nominations are irrelevant. This made it all the more satisfying that--after some passionate lobbying from metal journalists, fans, and labels--the Juno awards brought back the metal category this year and awarded it to a thoroughly deserving band.
However, Ken Mode's win wasn't just a victory for the band, it also threw a spotlight onto Profound Lore, illuminating just how vital this metal label has become over the past eight years.
Since the beginnings of underground metal, the allegiances forged between fans and labels have been essential components to the scene's resilience. No metal fan will be likely to forget the label that opened the catacombs of metal for them. These days underground metal is extremely popular, it has currency, and some labels have taken to strip-mining the scene. Not so for Profound Lore. It retains that very same sense of trustworthiness on which the underground scene was founded.
Crypt Born and Tethered to Ruin
Profound Lore's ethos and aesthetic comes from Bruni's youthful excursions into metal's crypts, drawing on the formative years of metal labels such as Peaceville and Earache, as well as iconic non-metal labels such as 4AD. Like many niche labels, Profound Lore began as a hobby. Following its first release, Melechesh's '04 EP The Ziggurat Scrolls, Bruni and co. expected to release limited edition vinyl.
Reshuffling in the label's early years resulted in Bruni taking sole charge. Vinyl releases from respected outfits such as Ulver, Agalloch and Leviathan established Profound Lore's profile, but it was the unorthodox death metal of Australia's Portal that put the label on the map. Profound Lore reissued the band's Seepia on CD in '05, and Portal is now one of its most respected acts. Although Seepia was a hard sell initially, it was a crucial release because it revealed the meticulous care with which Bruni would begin to sculpt his label's roster.
For a young label, an obscure band of reprobates from the Antipodes might have seemed a risky undertaking. But the personal connection Bruni feels with all his artists (the more defiant and artistically distinctive the better) sealed the label's imprint very early on. That personal motif is something that continues to this day. Certainly, the death metal Profound Lore releases is all equally, magnificently, putrescent and aberrant.
Bruni often cites sludge-ridden doom outfit Asunder's '06 release, Works Will Come Undone, as the album that truly birthed Profound Lore. Asunder, though short-lived, had an impact on the metal scene that reverberates to this day, and Works Will Come Undone is notable for setting Profound Lore outside stylistic trends within the metal scene. The label adheres to the steadfast rule that its artists give no ground. If their music happens to coincide with the rise of a particular sub-genre, so be it. Profound Lore has frequently led rather than followed.
The considered rather than calculating momentum of the label's development is one of the prime reasons why it's been able to maintain its grassroots integrity while awareness of its success has risen. Plenty of metal labels no doubt started with good intentions, only to get tossed about in the endless wash of trends, sullying their reputations forever. With Profound Lore, Bruni's decision to release only albums that feel instinctually right, and the absence of gauche marketing, mean its unhurried progression has bolstered its reputation for consistently high-quality metal.
Profound Lore has branched out sonically and thematically since Asunder helped refine its aesthetic goals. Its litany of often genre-defining works is staggering.
Pestilence and Peril
The year 2007 saw the release of acclaimed works from black metal duo Cobalt (Eater of Birds), satanically sophisticated Caïna (Mourner), revered black metal band Krallice (self-titled debut), and spitefully twisted Portal (Outre). In 2008, progressive metal outfit Hammers of Misfortune released its glorious conceptual marathon, Fields and Church of Broken Glass. In the same year, Winterfylleth released the majestic (and contentious) ode to its forbears, The Ghost of Heritage, while blackened-noise behemoth Wold provided an unremitting barrage on Stratification.
Early releases were vital in establishing Profound Lore's reputation as a label that represented innovative underground artists, but heavyweight doom titan Yob brought the label an entirely new level of recognition. The influential trio from Eugene, Oregon split in 2006, but returned in 2009 with the enormously anticipated and critically lauded The Great Cessation. Further underscoring that year's importance were releases from Irish rustic black metal band Altar of Plagues (The White Tomb>), Krallice (Dimensional Breakthrough), Portal (Swarth), and Impetuous Ritual (Relentless Execution of Ceremonial Excrescence). Cobalt's Hemingway-celebrating masterpiece Gin was also released in 2009--an event as important to the label's visibility as Yob's rebirth.
And on it went. In 2010 Profound Lore released, among others, the best album from the now sadly defunct Ludicra (The Tenant) and two wonderful traditional metal salvos from Dawnbringer (Nucleus) and Slough Feg (The Animal Spirit). Agalloch returned with the majestic black metal masterwork The Marrow of the Spirit (clearly the metal album of the year, and a turning point in the label's fortunes and profile). Cobalt multi-instrumentalist Erik Wunder also took Profound Lore into new territories. The grim Americana of his Smiling Dogs album, from solo project Man's Gin, painted a remarkably different landscape for the label.

It seems like the world has been besieged by Nordic crime television and cinema over the past few years. There's plenty of it, and there's plenty of excellence, too. Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy is probably the most notable and now Part I in that trilogy - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - has been remade into a feature-length film in English, starring Daniel Craig. The film also features a ruddy awesome soundtrack by Trent Reznor and his buddy Atticus Ross, last heard collaborating on their Grammy award winning OST for The Social Network, which, like Girl With... and Fight Club and many other great films, was directed by David Fincher.
What are you here for, anyway? Yes...we're giving away a pair of tickets to the London premiere of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. That takes place on Monday December 12 at 1830 at Leicester Square's ODEON cinema. Obviously you'll need to be able to get there at that time. All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning is post the name of the country where the film is set. You can do this either in the comments section below - via a sign-up - or via Facebook.
The deadline for entries is Friday December 9 at 0800. The winner will be notified via their chosen method of entry and asked for any relevant details, so do check your inboxes around then. In the meantime, have a little watch of the full trailer below.
The film contains a soundtrack by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, of which you may have already read about. There's a link to download a free 6-track sampler here, as well as more information about a super-duper deluxe edition of it on vinyl and whatnot. And, if you just wanna pre-order it, you can do so now over on iTunes and when you do so, you'll instantly get 'Immigrant Song' which features Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O as a special bonus.
Good luck!

There's talk on the DiS boards that Guided by Voices have split up (again!) and we've had some clarification from their PR folks, which reads thus:
Guided by Voices have not split up and continue to work on new material together. In addition to the album release of Let's Go Eat the Factory for January, the band are at work on another album, Class Clown Spots A UFO. Robert Pollard will also be releasing a solo record in March called Mouseman Cloud.
Unfortunately Guided By Voices are canceling their appearances at Primavera and ATP/I'll Be Your Mirror, due to personal reasons. The band apologizes for any inconvenience and disappointment, and thanks Primavera, ATP and the fans for their longterm support.

NewsAugust 12, 2010 - Updated on January 20, 2016
New law allows government to regulate online content
Reporters Without Borders is worried by a provisional cyber crimes law that the government decreed on 3 August and calls for its repeal. By establishing a legal framework for news and information websites and specifying sanctions for violators, it has created a legislative arsenal that can be used to regulate the Internet and punish those whose posts upset the authorities. The penalties, which range from fines to forced labour, depend on the content posted. The authorities have invoked the need to defend the public interest and regulate the online "chaos" but website owners and online journalists regard the law as a threat to the freedom of the media and communications. "The lack of detail in certain of the new law's provisions, the vague concepts used to define offences and the disproportionate penalties open the door to restrictive and arbitrary interpretation that will restrict freedom of expression and information," Reporters Without Borders said. Article 3 of the law stipulates that the authorities must be notified of what is posted online line but it does not say how or where they should be notified. Failure to comply with this article is punishable by a fine. The law also establishes a range of sanctions for online content that is deemed to defame or to violate public decency or national security. The penalties for violating public decency are likely to restrict freedom of information by being applied to innocuous content. Articles 9, 10 and 11 are supposed to target content that is immoral or pornographic or content that promotes prostitution or terrorism. The sanctions range from fines of 300 to 5,000 dinars (316 to 5,265 euros) to jail sentences of 3 months to 1 year, with the possibility of forced labour. Other articles are just as disturbing. Article 8 stipulates that the posting of any defamatory or insulting comment is publishable by fines ranging from 100 to 2,000 dinars (105 to 2,100 euros). Journalists fear that this will result in more defamation prosecutions and will complicate the work of reporting. Article 12 says that the posting of hitherto unpublished information affecting Jordan's national security, foreign relations, public order or economy is punishable by a fine of 500 to 5,000 dinars (527 to 5,265 euros) and a minimum of four months in prison. This ban on posting confidential information will necessarily limit freedom of information. This government attempt to limit coverage of sensitive issues poses a major threat to investigative journalism. Article 13 gives the attorney-general unlimited power to issue the police with a warrant to search the home of anyone suspected of violating this law. It also authorises police officers to carry out a search on their own initiative by referring to the attorney-general. These provisions violate article 10 of the 1952 constitution, which guarantees the inviolability of the home. All these provisions reflect a government desire to control all online information. Access to more than 100 news and information websites has meanwhile just been blocked for civil servants using government computers.

I love upcycling! Here's a fun & easy way to accessorize with an old t-shirt. I'm using an old longhorn t-shirt that was headed to the rag bin.
What you need:
- t-shirt (with no side seams)
- rotary fabric cutter
- ruler
- cutting mat
Starting at the bottom of the t-shirt, measure and cut 1 inch strips. (they'll look like loops)
Continue cutting 1 inch strips until you have your desired amount of loop strips.
Stretch out each loop.

We're now so far into the Post-Jhonny Peralta Era that we're starting to talk about his possible, potential and highly unlikely and not improbable return to the Tigers for the last weekend of the season – and presumably the postseason. This whole saga calls to mind a couple of things. First, it's how fleeting these controversies can be. In the course of five days, the Tigers trade for José Iglesias, keep him warm at third base for a couple of games, watch Peralta get suspended and then … crickets. Or what seemed like crickets.
I'll admit there have been several game situations in which I wished Peralta was in the lineup, but for the most part it's bygones. What about you?
The second thing is that when you think about all the things we Detroit fans have endured over the years, we haven't witnessed a key player at the center of huge MLB-wide story. Think about the occasions when the national spotlight shone on a Tigers player it was,by and large, for positive reasons. Here are the stories that come to mind:
- Ron LeFlore signing with the Tigers out of Jackson State Prison in 1975
- Mark Fidrych winning the hearts of baseball in 1976
- Armando Galarraga responding with class after a blown perfect game call in 2010
- Miguel Cabrera's Triple Crown season in 2012
Am I missing anything? I don't think so.
The last baseball scandal I can remember which remotely approaches Biogenesis is the mid-'80s Pittsburgh cocaine trials, but no Tigers were implicated in that one. But this time, man, the Tigers were in the thick of it. (Unlike when fringy player Exavier Prente "Nook" Logan was named in The Mitchell Report back in 2007, but he was hardly a household name or an essential part of the Tigers future – or present for that matter.)
Even though he's working out with the Tigers now, I still can't imagine we'll see Peralta again in a Tigers uniform. Stranger things have happened, I suppose, but I can't see the Dombrowski/Leyland Administration brining that level of distraction to the club during a playoff run.
Apropos of nothing:
- Now, can we talk about Rick Porcello? Actually, I'd rather not; it's too frustrating. Some other time.
- I can't believe I'm writing these words: I wish the Mets were better than they are. This is quite a statement given my deep-seated hatred of those mid-'80s teams led by Davey Johnson. The only redeeming quality from those clubs was my favorite undervalued Tigers player: Howard Johnson. I always felt like he was the solution to Sparky's third-base problem but instead, the skipper saw the future at third with Tom Brookens, Chris Pittaro, Darnell Coles, Jim Morrison and whomever else they could plug into that spot. And more often than not, it was Brookens. Where was I going with this? Oh, yeah, the Mets. Never mind.
- If the Tigers' current situation leaves you unsettled, contrast it with last year's Sept. 10 dilemma: they were three games back of the White Sox. A 5.5-game lead over a flawed Indians club works better for me.
- I was glad to see Tony Paul's article last week on how this team is not the 2009 Tigers – and it's not simply because there's no Dane Sardinha, no Zach Miner, no Fu-Te Ni. This team just doesn't have the feel of a club that will cool along with the September temperatures. Am I wrong? (Just for fun, look back on some of the names on that '09 roster. Oy.)
- Don't look now but thanks to his four-hit night on Tuesday Alex Avila is hitting .221.
Finally, speaking of Pittsburgh: congratulations to the Pirates and their fans on a long-deserved winning season. Pittsburgh officially might have suffered more years of losing baseball than Detroit fans, but we'll always have this on them and any other awful team: 2003.

DOVER — Seacoast residents worked to unbury themselves from snowfall Sunday after the weekend's blizzard ripped through the area.
In Rye, the police department there reported the sea wall located along Route 1A from Hampton and North Hampton to Rye had been repositioned and there were no further issues. Portions of the barrier collapsed Saturday morning as 25- to 30-foot high waves pounded the shoreline and shale rock and boulders flooded the roadways on Ocean Boulevard. Officer Scott Sullivan however, said when high tide returned late that night around 10:45 p.m., there were no further problems he had been made aware of.
In downtown Dover, the community bustled with many shops reopening at their normal times. Some local shopkeepers said the storm was good for business beforehand, but in the aftermath, some wished the sidewalks could be cleared so more would venture to the center of town.
"We closed early Friday night, but we had a great turnout," Manager of the Barley Pub Russ Graham said, adding Sunday afternoon was pretty slow with feet of snow piled outside their establishment, blocking the walking paths.
Over at Janetos Market, manager Gary Bandouveres said people bought all kinds of things before the storm and with the grocery store closed on Saturday in the storm, Sunday was fairly slow. He arrived at 2 a.m. to plow the parking lot Sunday morning.
"People out early to buy what they needed," he said, referring to the previous week. "…But it was a blessing to not lose power."
While hundreds of thousands of people lost power in Massachusetts, in the nor'easter the Weather Channel dubbed "Nemo," only several hundred were without electricity Saturday throughout the Granite State.
Throughout the region, residents wandered outside to play in the snow and soak up a sunny day with some of the ice melting. The National Weather Service reports more stormy weather is one the horizon though, with rainfall expected midday Monday through Tuesday. In freezing temperatures, that could make much of the area icy and slippery, and put more pressure on residents' homes. Rye Police Chief Kevin Walsh warned residents to shovel off their roofs early, before the rain, to be sure their homes are protected.
While some spent the day shoveling and others headed out for a day of wintery fun. Families were spotted sledding at Wagon Hill Farm in Durham and Garrison Hill in Dover. Across from Strafford Farms Restaurant in the Garrison City, many flocked to the Willand Pond Recreation Area for trail hiking and ice fishing. Dustin Horne helped his 4-year-old son Aiden get around the iced over pond by putting the boy up on his shoulders as they settled in for an afternoon of ice fishing.
The day was less fun for municipal workers who went into overdrive to clear the piles of snow. Dover police said while the emergency winter parking ban concluded over the weekend, another one may be put into effect in the coming days so the city Department of Public Works can clear the roads, Lt. Carey Beaulieu said.
Dover Fire Capt. David Lindh added firefighters worked to clear hydrants by shoveling out snow throughout the day Sunday, in between medical aid calls. Lindh said it appeared some people were looking to help out the crews by shoveling their neighborhood hydrants, which he said is always appreciated.
"The storm pretty much went off without a hitch," Beaulieu added. "It snowed very heavily, but as far as any emergencies caused by the snow, there really wasn't any exception."
The city of Rochester had a parking ban in effect that was lifted at 12 p.m. on Sunday while Portsmouth said they would begin snow clearing at 8 p.m. that night with a second shift to start at midnight.
Additionally, the Amtrak Downeaster train service resumed its schedule Sunday with a few modified routes, though some trains were canceled and routes to Massachusetts and Maine were altered.

Izvoshra was the name given by Grievous to his elite cadre of Kaleesh warriors. The word "Izvoshra" simply meant "elite." There were only eight warriors in Grievous's cadre, a number sacred to the Kaleesh.
Though not formed into the "elite" until after the death of Ronderu lij Kummar and Grievous' journey to Abesmi, several of the Izvoshra had already been fighting at Grievous side for years. Among the Izvoshra was a warrior found by Grievous while shipwrecked on Grendaju, and believed to be from the same hunter race as Ronderu. Another was the revolutionary counterpart to Grievous, who fought on the other side of the planet, and another still was a former member of the Muja Bandits who used to desecrate Kalee's sacred temples. Each warrior was an almost unbeatable fighter, but were much more than that. Each warrior was a khan in charge of their own brigade of kolkpravis soldiers and they were chosen for their abilities and devotion to Kalee.
The Izvoshra followed Grievous in his very successful campaign of revenge during the Huk War, slaughtering countless Yam'rii, driving them from Kalee and overrunning Huk colony worlds. After the war's abrupt defusal by the Jedi, Grievous became an enforcer for the InterGalactic Banking Clan, but the IBC refused to hire his elite. Instead, with the permission of Count Dooku, San Hill commissioned a series of advanced IG-100 MagnaGuards to serve as replacements. After a time, Grievous grew so disgusted as he watched his homeworld suffer under Republic embargoes while the Yam'rii went unpunished for their various atrocities, that he broke his contract with the IBC, gathered together the original Izvoshra aboard the Martyr, and prepared to return to Kalee and reignite the war. The Izvoshra were all believed to have been killed aboard Grievous's ship when the Confederacy sabotaged it, planting an ion bomb aboard the shuttle that detonated above the Jenuwaa Sea.
After being rebuilt as a cyborg and becoming the General of the Droid Armies of the CIS, Grievous personally trained his MagnaGuards and adorned them with Kaleesh cloaks and headwraps, in tribute to his original khans. Towards the end of the Clone Wars, Grievous organized an experiment on the planet Nelvaan, where Techno Union scientists were mutating the native Nelvaanians in an attempt to produce powerful organic warriors. Intrigued by the similarity of the Nelvaanian people to the Kaleesh, Grievous intended to make some of these augmented Nelvaan warriors into his new elite, but these plans had to be scrapped when the testing was destroyed by Anakin Skywalker.

Leah Koenig's Sweet and Savory Hammentashen:
"Nothing brings out the baking spirit in me like Purim. Several weeks before the holiday, I start dreaming up new exciting fillings to spoon onto my cookies before pinching them into the familiar tri-cornered shape recalling Haman's hat. Never a fan of mohn (poppy seeds) or artificial cherry pie filling, my hamentashen fillings tend to skew either towards the sweet-tart – things like lemon curd, apricot marmalade or homemade pear and ginger compote (see below for a kosher recipe) – or the all out, hands-down decadent – think spoonfuls of Nutella, or white chocolate chips swirled with raspberry jam.
But a few years ago, while in the midst of one of my pre- Purim daydream sessions, my thoughts drifted from sweet to savory. What would it taste like, I wondered, if I cut back on sugar in the dough and replaced it with dried herbs? And what sort of filling combinations might compliment this savory foundation? After a few excited rounds of testing, tweaking and tasting, I hit the Purim jackpot: a rich, herb-flecked "cookie" encasing a medley of lightly caramelized mushrooms and onion, browned in the oven until golden and unbelievably fragrant (see below for a kosher recipe)
One bite was all it took to know that I'd stumbled on a new annual tradition – for me anyways! Lest one think that savory hamentashen sounds too unconventional to try, consider the spinach knish, the Middle Eastern bureka or the Italian calzone. All of these delicious pastries combine dough with meat, vegetables and any number of tasty fillings – so why should the hamentashen be left out of the fun?"
Savory Hamentashen
Directions, Dough:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme, basil, oregano, or rosemary
- 2 tbsp milk
Cream butter, egg and sugar. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and herbs together and set aside. Add 1/2 of dry mixture into wet ingredients and combine until smooth. Add milk, then remaining flour mixture, stirring until incorporated. If dough is too sticky at this point, continue adding flour until it is firm enough to withstand being rolled out.
Gently roll out dough until it is 1/4 inch thick. Cut into rounds with a circular cookie cutter or the rim of a wide-mouthed glass and transfer to a baking sheet. Dot each circle with filling (see below). Pinch corners into triangles. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until delicately browned.
Variation 1: This dough can be used for sweet hamentashen too. Increase the sugar to 3 Tbs and omit the dried herbs.
Variation 2: If you would like to eat these hamentashen after a meat meal, replace the butter with non-hydrogenated margarine (e.g. Smart Balance) and the milk with soy or almond milk.
Savory Onion and Mushroom Filling
- 3/4 pound mushrooms (white cap or cremini)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- pinch salt
- 1/4 cup dry red wine (optional)
Chop mushrooms and onion into small dice. Heat oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat and brown onions. Add mushrooms and salt and let cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and about halved in size. Add red wine (if desired) and salt and cook 2-3 minutes, until liquid is dissolved. Let cool before stuffing into hamentashen.
Sweet Pear and Ginger Compote
- 2 bosc pears, chopped
- 1 Tbs honey
- 1/2 tsp ginger powder
- 1 Tbs water
- 1 1/2 tsp crystallized ginger, chopped
Combine all ingredients in small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring regularly until the pears soften and soak up the fragrant liquid, about 8 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before using as hamentashen filling.
Happy Purim!

"When I joined 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, they were the only station in town with a full-time meteorology department. Since that time, I've valued my position here because of the high standards that guide this news operation."
Connect with Dave Dahl
Director Of Region's Most Preferred Source For Complete Weather Coverage
Dave joined 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS in 1977 and has been on the air since 1979. He oversees one of the most responsive and accurate weather tracking operations in the industry - and the region's preferred source for complete weather coverage. He delivers his weather forecasts on 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS weeknights at 6 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 10 p.m. Dave also provides the forecast and current weather warnings or advisories weekdays on KS95's morning show, KS95's afternoon show with Moon and Staci, and 1500 ESPN Twin Cities.
1998 Broadcaster of the Year
Dave has received the American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval for television and radio weather broadcasting and was named 1998 Broadcaster of the Year by the Minnesota Broadcaster's Association. Other professional accomplishments include producing a documentary on tornado-chasing for The Weather Channel and a special report on The Discovery Channel for his tornado chase in April 1996. Dave also received an Emmy Award in 2003 for Single Newscast ("Wellstone Crash").
Teaching Students To Respect Mother Nature
It was a tornado, in fact, that inspired Dave's interest in meteorology. When Dave was a child, he witnessed a tornado. He was so frightened and fascinated that he decided to learn everything he could about the weather. Today, Dave is a favorite weather and science teacher to thousands of students in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. For the past 15 years, Dave has spent much of his personal time making weekly presentations on the basics of meteorology.
A father of five and true blue Minnesotan, Dave actively supports many worthy causes in our communities. To name a few: Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Kiwanis, Rotary, and on a very personal level, the American Heart Association - in gratitude for his daughter Kayla's successful heart surgery at the age of two.
Born and raised in Minnesota, Dave attended the University of Minnesota and earned his degree in meteorology from Florida State University before coming home to 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. A hard-working professional who exhibits a style of warmth and modesty, Dave is motivated by a personal mission.
Guiding Viewers Safely Through Severe Weather
"I hope that in some way I can teach our viewers how to deal with weather of all types, and in particular, guide them safely through severe weather," says Dave. "In doing so, I hope our viewers will feel more at ease when severe weather strikes, knowing that we'll be here to let them know everything that's going on."

A senior MP has called for an investigation into the financial watchdog, accusing it of an "extraordinary blunder" in releasing market-sensitive information about an insurance industry inquiry which later sent the stock market plummeting.
Andrew Tyrie MP, chairman of the Treasury Committee, said the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) had breached the "principle" that such information be released to all parties concerned at the same time.
The Daily Telegraph reported yesterday how the FCA was to investigate 30 million financial policies worth £150 billion, sold between the 1970s and the turn of the millennium, amid fears over "rip off" charges and sub-standard service.
The news sent shares in insurance firms slumping into the red once more when the markets opened, after a torrid past week for the sector.
Mr Tyrie, the Conservative MP for Chichester, said today: "This announcement may have led to a disorderly market in shares. It may also have damaged consumer confidence in the industry as a whole.
"On the face of it, this is an extraordinary blunder.
"It is crucial that we have a full and transparent explanation about how such an apparently serious mistake came to be made by our financial services watchdog - the body appointed by Parliament to enforce high standards of conduct."
The FCA said the investigation into insurance policies will start in the summer, scrutinising the treatment of customers who took out products such as private pensions, endowments, investment bonds and life insurance over a 30-year period.
It will unveil further details in its annual business plan for the new financial year on Monday and said it is particularly concerned that many loyal customers of these older policies - many of which are no longer being contributed to - are not getting the same service as new customers and are locked in with high exit penalties preventing them from switching.
The announcement was a fresh blow for the industry just a week after the Chancellor gave pensioners the freedom to draw down as much or as little of their pension pot as they want, removing the need to buy an annuity.
It followed the previous day's pledge by Pensions Minister Steve Webb to launch a "full frontal assault" on pension schemes giving poor value as he announced that a 0.75% cap will be imposed on charges from April next year.
FTSE 100 Index listed Friends Life insurer Resolution, which was set up in 2008 to consolidate the life insurance industry and is a major manager of closed funds, slumped as much as 13%, while Aviva fell 8%, Legal & General dropped 7% and Prudential declined 5%.
Phoenix Holdings, which has five million policyholders and is the UK's largest consolidator of closed life assurance funds, tumbled 15% in the FTSE 250 Index.
Mr Tyrie called for the investigation into the FCA's release of information to be led by an independent figure and any report should be published in full.
He said: "Responsibility for the FCA's work on this should lie not with the board as a whole but with the independent directors alone, led by the chairman.
"This is an early test of their essential role in exercising oversight of the executives and ensuring that they meet the same high standards expected of the industry."
The FCA declined to comment.
