e3300eb16b6f8e5bae9c229bc9332b8b1. New Order: I am salivating to see this show. New Order has been a signpost in my life since the mid '80s when I first heard "Bizarre Love Triangle." The British group, led by Bernard Sumner, make a brilliantly detached brand of synthesizer-fueled dance-rock with a trance-like allure. I am ready for them to transport me to another space and time. Oct. 12 at 8 p.m. at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas. Sold-out. .

US growth cooled in the second quarter to 1.3 percent, and forecasters do not think the economy will manage a pace any faster than 2 percent for the rest of the year, although most see it picking up somewhat in 2013.

MR. GREGORY We're all in this together.
