LateRooms.com - Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler to Perform in Paris

The two musicians will take the stage at the Bercy venue on October 17th.

2011-09-16

PARIS, FRANCE, September 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) Veteran singer-songwriters Mark Knopfler and Bob Dylan are heading to Paris next month for a show at the city's Bercy venue.

Former Dire Straits frontman Knopfler is supporting Dylan on his current European tour, which is due to call at the French capital on Monday October 17th.

The two performers are set to play at cities across the continent during the run of gigs, which will get underway in Dublin on Sunday October 6th and finish in Zurich on Wednesday November 16th.

Dylan is widely considered to be one of the most influential figures in popular music and culture, with early songs such as Blowin' in the Wind becoming anthems for the civil rights movement in the US.

His latest tour comes after the release last year of The Original Mono Recordings, comprising reproductions of Dylan's first eight long-playing albums, spanning his eponymously titled debut in 1962 to John Wesley Harding in 1967.

Although Dire Straits split up in the mid-1990s, Knopfler has continued to record solo albums such as 2009's Get Lucky, which features Border Reiver, Hard Shoulder and other tracks.

Journey to the lower mantle and back

2011-09-16

The theory of plate tectonics is at the centre of our understanding of how the Earth works. It has been known for decades that new crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and that this crust is subducted as plates dive underneath other plates in regions such as the Pacific Ring of Fire and descend into the Earth's mantle. What is not so well known is the fate of these subducted plates. In this week's edition of the journal Science, scientists from the University of Bristol (Prof. M. Walter, Dr. S. Kohn, Dr. G. Bulanova, Mr. C. Smith), Universidade de Brasilia (Prof. D. Araujo), ...

Diamonds show depth extent of Earth's carbon cycle

2011-09-16

Washington, D.C.—Scientists have speculated for some time that the Earth's carbon cycle extends deep into the planet's interior, but until now there has been no direct evidence. The mantle–Earth's thickest layer –is largely inaccessible. A team of researchers analyzed diamonds that originated from the lower mantle at depths of 435 miles (700 kilometers) or more, and erupted to the surface in volcanic rocks called kimberlites. The diamonds contain what are impurities to the gemologist, but are known as mineral inclusions to the geologist. Analysis shows compositions consistent ...

Most of the time, being ill with the flu is little more than a nuisance. Other times, it can spark an exaggerated immune response and turn deadly. Researchers reporting in the September 16th issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, have now traced the origins of this severe immune response -- called a cytokine storm -- to its source. Cytokines are the chemical signals that drive inflammation, and cytokine storms are thought to be the cause of many of the deaths attributed to the 1918 worldwide influenza pandemic and to the more recent outbreaks of swine ...
