As chairman of the Venice Biennale foundation, Paolo Baratta has achieved record visitor numbers, a balanced budget, made sure the art biennale was 90% self-funded, and saw a boom in applications to take part. His mandate ends on 18 December, and while some expect to see him reappointed to the post, his name is also being mentioned as a possible minister of culture in Italy's new government. In an interview first published in Il Giornale dell'Arte, the man who gave the Venice Biennale a new lease of life looks back on his tenure.
The Art Newspaper: How would you sum up the achievements of your two terms in office?Paolo Baratta: I was first appointed president at a time of serious difficulty. Despite some moments of great energy, the biennale had never really recovered after 1968. In my first year, we put on nothing but the Venice Film Festival, which took place in something of a vacuum. There was nowhere to stage the drama, dance and music. The floor of our Ca' Giustinian headquarters was unsafe, and we had received notice to quit. We were prevented from holding the architecture biennale at the Italian Pavilion in the Giardini because of infiltrations of rainwater. But at the same time, a legal reform was enacted, giving the Biennale Foundation a more efficient, private-sector status. This major change in the way it was run marked a turning point.Can you outline the various stages of this recovery? We began with the art exhibition, which had been restricted by its being based around national pavilions, while the curator of the Italian pavilion concentrated on Italian art and in some cases staged exhibitions with an international theme. This second focus had sometimes given rise to wonderful exhibitions, but it was also a situation of permanent conflict, to such an extent that for some years the art biennale was not held at all. So we decided in 1998 that the art biennale (including architecture) should have two pillars: on the one hand, the national pavilion exhibitions and on the other, a major international exhibition entrusted to a curator appointed exclusively for the purpose. The structure I had in mind was a combination of Documenta and the Venice Biennale. The first, new-style international exhibition, held in 1999, was curated by Harald Szeemann. The Italian pavilion was not initially used for our own national exhibition, though it was later resurrected with an ad hoc curator.Our second task was to find appropriate locations for a major international exhibition. We chose the pavilions in the Giardini and the Arsenale complex, which was entirely restored and renovated at considerable expense. Thus the international exhibition came to be staged in two very different venues: the former Italian pavilion with its white walls and the large spaces of the Arsenale, in addition to the Corderie, the Artiglierie, the Tese (which became the drama centre), the Giardino delle Vergini, and so on. This was followed by the building of a large, new Italian pavilion. The result of all this was an additional 40,800 sq. m of exhibition space, 21,000 sq. m of it under cover. This year, we have begun restoring the so-called Sale d'Armi, which will be devoted to the many countries now requesting their own permanent space. The new clarity of layout and the success of the international exhibitions have led to an increase in the number of countries taking part, and to a revitalisation of the national exhibitions.To what extent has the relaunch of the Venice Biennale been hindered by the proliferation of similar events?There was also competition from the boom in large-scale art fairs: think of Basel, strategically hitched in terms of scheduling, to the Venice Biennale wagon. We needed to redefine ourselves in relation to other biennales and art fairs. We have done so by trying to be as successful as possible without letting success go to our heads, or falling prey to "eventitis", remaining faithful to our identity, which is not that of an art fair. I have defined the Art Exhibition as a "wind machine", not a business machine. In any case, if we surrendered to market forces, we would lose our status as a magnet for the public, artists, heads of state, students and so on. And the Holy See would not be planning to take part with a pavilion of its own. How can you be so sure that the curators of the art biennale are independent of market forces? We are well aware that being featured at the biennale is a great opportunity for any artist and may result in a sharp rise in the market price of their works, which is nice for the artist but puts an even greater responsibility on our shoulders. What counts is the spirit in which art is presented as a continuous creative process, as we seek to discover and demonstrate those complex values that emerge from the free act of the artist and carry over into the emotional life of the viewer. A curator knows he is being judged on his or her ability to "create" an exhibition, to draw inspiration from the guiding principle behind their project. Once again, the right way to achieve transparency is to make the curator aware of their responsibility. An art fair is run by the gallery owners involved and lasts only a few days. The biennale goes on for six months and is far more than a private view; this year we will receive more than 400,000 visitors. Our task is to disseminate knowledge, emotion and a critical spirit. This year, 32 of the artists represented are under 35 and, of the total of 83 artists, 62 (or 74.7%) have never taken part in a Venice Biennale before. Once an artist and one of his works have been chosen, there is no harm in his or her seeking help with the costs of production or transport. The curator is aware of the relationships that all artists have with galleries and collectors, not to mention the rights that have already been sold to third parties. The Biennale Foundation makes a significant contribution towards the costs of each chosen artist, to ensure that the financial assistance provided by third parties, which all artists of course benefit from, does not influence the curator's choices. Does the biennale fund the creative work of the young artists taking part?Each Venice Biennale must contain a percentage of works by artists who have been "discovered" by the curator. The latter may in fact draw—intelligently—on a budget allocated for the production of new works. Are works created ex novo in this way acquired by the Biennale Foundation?They are often site-specific, temporary works, such as the "swamp" constructed at the Arsenale by Lara Favaretto in 2009. In any case, we do not own a museum, nor would it make sense to invest in a warehouse for storing works of art, especially in our case, as we create the spaces in which works are exhibited as a vital complement to the works themselves. Obviously, we record everything, in the form of video footage and photographs. But the problem of acquisitions would raise other issues, such as assessing the value of the works concerned, and in my opinion this is something the biennale would do well to steer clear of. Is what you were saying earlier about the relationship between the biennale and the proliferation of contemporary art in Venice a reply to what Francesco Bonami wrote recently: that the biennale is an exhibition engulfed by "events", in particular by the private foundations that have recently mushroomed here, from Pinault to Prada?Following the rebirth of the biennale, not only has there been a big increase in the number of countries participating, but private collectors have also arrived, bringing cultural offerings as extravagant as they are respectable, as well as presenting the city with some fine restoration projects. But the biennale is something different. Its prestige derives from its independence, from the independence of the curator of the international exhibition and from that of the commissioners of the national pavilions. Its great richness lies in this pluralism. But in this pluralism there are also some powerful political forces at play…Politics is part of history, and art has never been detached from history. The biennale is proud of the fact; history, too, is an antidote to fetishism. The biennale will live on as long as it remains what the art world will increasingly need: a place where artists can meet freely. And Bonami might have added some data on daily visitor numbers, not just the opening ceremonies, to give an idea of the true scale of things.Among your achievements, you have often pointed to the financial self-sufficiency of the biennale…In the case of the art biennale, we have managed, largely of course through admission charges, to cover 90% of our costs. Your revenues also include a percentage paid by the collateral exhibition organisers. Aren't there rather too many of them?No. And again this year I asked the curator of the international exhibition, Bice Curiger, to be extremely strict in assessing the projects submitted: just four out of ten were selected. Being able to say no is an important weapon in defending quality, intelligence and independence in a world where contemporary art has become fashionable. Do you collect contemporary art? Since I was appointed president of the Biennale Foundation, I have stopped buying contemporary art works. Just for fun, my wife and I collect on a small scale. I collect drawings by Felice Giani, a neoclassical painter, partly because he is an ancestor of mine. And Vietri ceramics, for instance those created by Guido Gambone before he became famous.What powers does the president of the Venice Biennale in fact have?The president plays a very important role, to the extent that the other councillors trust him and allow him to drive the thing, make proposals and plan ahead. I have a great deal of clout because it is my task to make proposals to the board of management regarding the appointment of section directors. I am the promoter of the works that need to be done, so I am a sort of entrepreneur, or creative administrator. But, in exercising my powers, I try to ensure that I do not overstep the mark, and that the independence of the directors is protected 100%.You are accused of having a weakness for foreign curators, at least where the visual arts are concerned…The present director of the music sector is Luca Francesconi; before it was Bruno Canino. And I began the architecture biennale with an Italian, Massimiliano Fuksas. Alberto Barbera and Marco Müller are Italians, as are Maurizio Scaparro and Giorgio Barberio Corsetti. Then there was Francesco Bonami. In the art and architecture biennales, the percentage of Italian directors is proportional to the relative weight of Italy, and in this sense too, we are international.Do you think it is the case, as it is often said in Italy, that we have lacked a new generation of critics and curators of contemporary art to replace the likes of Celant and Bonito Oliva?There may be some truth in that. But the director of the last Gwangju Biennale, the most important in the Far East, was an Italian, Massimiliano Gioni; and the next edition of Documenta will be curated by an Italian-by-adoption, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. What more can you ask? Fortunately, no one dreams of saying of our curators at Gwangju and Kassel that they ought to be Korean or German. How can we, then, afford to indulge in provincialism? We of all people, who aim to set the highest standard? And if I were to choose a curator solely because he was Italian, this would be taken as an insult, as if I had selected him on the basis of his passport rather than his ability. There is in fact a new generation of curators in Italy, on which the biennale will be able to draw, just as we have drawn on the services of foreign curators.Since you do not have a committee to appoint curators, you must expect this and other criticisms…If you want excellence, you must go looking for it, and often it is not easy to flush out. It all depends on trust and personal relationships. We could of course select curators via commissions, committees, examinations and competitions. There have been plenty of examples of this sort of thing. It is a method built around passing the buck, with the likelihood of bureaucratic interference, in a process that ought really to be based on free choice, responsibility and intellectual honesty. Committees are all too often appointed to make compromises, not real decisions. In this area, too, the biennale has become a model of good institutional organisation. The artistic director has total independence, except as regards the budget, which is subject to strict on-going controls. It is no coincidence that for many years the Venice Biennale has been the only Italian institution able to balance its budget.Venice is home to galleries active on the historical front, occasionally paying attention to younger artists, but galleries concerned with the kind of art on show at the Biennale are conspicuous by their absence.Dealers go where there is a demand, and Venice is not an art market. Where the relationship between the biennale and Venice is concerned, the real issue is something different. In the past, the biennale was seen as a UFO that had landed on the city and its region. The opening, and all the other events staged during the biennale over just a few days, were of interest to the water-taxi drivers, hoteliers and restaurateurs. For everyone else, it was just a pain in the neck. But a few days ago, a water-taxi owner said to me: "You know, the art biennale has become more important for us than the film festival. Because now we have work every day, and with the right sort of customers!" I took that as a great compliment.How have you managed to transform this alien spaceship into such a popular event?I have devoted the last four years to bridging the gap. The first step was the recovery of Ca' Giustinian as our headquarters and its conversion into a place for ongoing activities, an "urban phenomenon". We created a wooden deck for access, an attractive bar and a restaurant charging modest prices, quite unlike the outrageously expensive restaurants you find on the Grand Canal, more like something in New York or Paris. The final stage was to restore the Sala delle Colonne, where we organise meetings and conferences, open to all comers. We also reopened the biennale's historical archive. And we have reopened the library, dear to all the people of Venice, in the Giardini, which we have taken on under licence and reorganised. We have redefined the central pavilion as a "kunsthalle", adding a new bookshop and a café d'artiste, designed by Tobias Rehberger in 2009.What part have your educational activities played in closing the gap between the Biennale and the city of Venice?We have organised activities to present the Biennale as a friendly presence, starting with the children, schools and teachers of Venice and the Veneto region (and further afield). We have stepped up school visits and structured them carefully, to make the Biennale a household word for the younger generation. Up until 2010, we received almost 18,000 visitors from the Veneto region alone. Our art and architecture exhibitions have been attended by a total of more than 100,000 young people over the last five years. A few weeks ago, we launched a shiny, bright red "Biennale Bus", which travels the roads of the Veneto four days a weeks, picking up children from schools and bringing them to the biennale. This year's preview was attended by some 800 teachers, because training them is fundamental to the educational programme we deliver. We want to enhance our traditional exhibition and museum-based programme for visiting schoolchildren by encouraging schools to devote a few hours each week to enjoyable group work of a creative nature. With this in mind, we have introduced the "Leoncino d'Oro" and "Leoncino d'Argento" prizes for schools that produce their own projects. Personally, I am a great supporter of free (ie, not bureaucratically imposed) creativity within schools.What new projects are you working on?We have some new developments in preparation. I've already told you of our plans for the film festival sites. Then, in 2010, we launched the first Children's Carnival, which several countries are already involved in. In 2011, the participants were Austria, Poland, the United Kingdom and Holland (with 20,000 visitors), but the number of countries is bound to grow in the next few years. The idea of this carnival is to make objects, not buy them, and it is intended to become a great "international biennale of youthful creativity". We launched the Arsenale della Danza some years ago and have recently staged a drama festival consisting of workshops for young artists. Another major project is the "Biennale College", bringing together all our experimental training activities in the dance, music, drama and applied arts sectors. For this, too, we have set up a workshop facility here at our headquarters. The biennale, as I see it, is not just a place where people encounter art, but also an opportunity for active practitioners to meet the masters. We have therefore adopted the master-class method, with longer or shorter classes depending on the discipline. For dance, in conjunction with Carolyn Carlson, we have already started an academy attended by 25 young people, who stay for five months and work with seven top choreographers. The same is true for drama, and now I would like to do something similar for the applied arts, an area in which we have already run one workshop on the subject of light and are now planning another featuring paper. This could also be extended to music and film-making. The Sale d'Armi at the Arsenal have already been earmarked as a future home for the Biennale College.Why in Italy does politics always have such a heavy, and almost always damaging, influence on the organisation of cultural activities?Politics has always played a part in all fields here in Italy, from industrial development to cultural institutions, which are born as a result of laws passed in Parliament. Politics in Italy, then, has the great merit of having fostered the development of civil society. There are times when politicians have great ambitions and desires, including the desire to see the institutions they have created maintain a high standard of excellence. At other times, these ambitions run out of steam and things get into a rut. Cavour, good Liberal that he was, founded Ansaldo (the Italian engineering company) because he wanted to create an Italian ship-building industry and make our country less dependent on British shipyards. There were of course problems, but Ansaldo was born of a great ambition. The Biennale, Quadriennale and Triennale, too, were born of the great ambitions of members of our country's government. It was the mayor of Venice, Riccardo Selvatico, who inspired the biennale. His ambition was for something that would be international and long-lasting, not one of the universal exhibitions of that period, which were very sporadic events. He wanted the biennale to transform Venice, which most likely did not boast a single gallery-owner in those days, into one of the great centres of contemporary art. The more robust and ambitious politics is, the prouder it is of its role and the more devoted it is to the public interest, the more the institutions it creates can hope to see their roles and independence respected. But when politics is weak and its ambitions modest, dialogue becomes difficult, or worse it all descends into a miserable power struggle.

Soon Serenade was destined to be the greatest musical game you'd never heard of. And according to a report from game development forum Develop, the game was cancelled due to a "complete lack of interest."
The silver lining in all of this? Soon Serenade's developer, Ransom Binary, decided to release the soundtrack for the musical role-playing game for free. The music pulls out all the stops as one would expect for a musical RPG. A twinge of cheese, but epic and inspiring nonetheless. The soundtrack composer lamented that this would be his last project and, "it's a lousy way to go out."
Though it sounds like a crap way to go, it seems this is an interesting look into niche indie titles. It also proves that Broadway no longer rules the world. Not completely anyway.

« Fright Night | Main | Tucker and Dale vs. Evil »
Happy, Happy
Norwegian filmmaker Anne Sewitsky makes a thought-provoking and sexy debut with a romantic comedy/drama neatly offset by acapella musical interludes. Schoolteacher Kaja (wonderfully played by Agnes Kittelsen) was abandoned by her mother as a child. Her desperate need to have a family has driven Kaja into the arms of her unhappy Eirik (Joachim Rafaelsen). Eirik is a closet homosexual who plays cruel games with the couple's son Theodor aimed at upsetting Kaja. In rural Norway's gloom of constant snowy winter Kaja has developed a permenant sense of joy as her primary defense mechanism. Communal inspiration arrives when married couple Genial (Henrik Rafaelsen) and Elisabeth (Maibritt Saerens) move in to the house next door, which Kaja and Eirik rent out. Genial and Elisabeth have their own adopted child, an African boy named Noa who the couple habitually neglect. Communal dinner parties and parlor games reveal problems in both marriages. Katja can't resist throwing herself at Genial, who picks up on the opportunity to exact some personal revenge against his wife. Elisabeth's recent act of adultery was the inciting reason the couple moved away from the city and its temptations. First-time screenwriter Ragnhild Tronvoll makes a few missteps here and there, but makes strong social commentary on the offhand ways seeds of racism, sexism, and anger are planted and fostered.

Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained is a brilliant flick. Describing a slave's search for his wife in the South and Old West, it more accurately depicts the African-American experience than any of the 15 movies about black culture that African-American director Spike Lee has directed in his lifetime. Last week, it garnered four Academy Award nominations, including best picture.
But ever since it hit theaters on Christmas, Lee has been publicly trashing Tarantino. In announcing his personal boycott of the movie, the Do the Right Thing filmmaker tweeted, "American slavery was not a Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western," and "It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them."
Lee needs to get over himself. He's upset because Tarantino makes better movies. The man who put Malcolm X on the big screen is Hollywood's resident house Negro, a bourgie activist who tells white auteurs how they can and can't depict African-Americans. He complains that Tarantino uses nigger too much (100 times) in Django Unchained, but show me a white man in the 1800s who wasn't dropping n-b ombs left and right.
Tarantino is one of Tinseltown's cleverest directors. Some of the most brutal scenes in Django Unchained are metaphors for the unfair racial inequality African-Americans still experience today. (Spoiler alert!) For instance, Leonardo DiCaprio's plantation owner character, Calvin Candie, trains some of his male slaves to fight to the death in a sport called "Mandingo Fighting." When one of the slaves refuses to participate, Candie threatens to feed him to his wild dogs. That scene is analogous to professional boxing, in which the Bob Arums of the world control black fighters through fear and intimidation.
In another scene, slaves are shocked to see Django riding a horse. That's like the people who stare at the dude who returns to the neighborhood driving a Bentley. Django warns the slaves he'll treat them worse than any white man. That's the truth about blacks in positions of authority in today's corporate America. They treat blacks worse than any white boss does.
Lee could never pull off a movie like this. When he's not being an ass from his courtside seats during New York Knicks games, he's making films to which most African-Americans cannot relate.
Follow Luke on Twitter: @unclelukereal1.
Slavery in the US was abolished but you guys making money on it are still at it. Get off the backs of these people and make an honest living. That includes Tarintino and the crap movies he makes in the name of "art". So take your symbolism and stick it. Why would anyone in their right mind want to see a movie about something as disgusting as slavery? There comes a time when you just stop talking about past ills and let it die along with the people who lived it. Spike Lee makes far better movies than Mr. Hatefull. Have you ever met the dude?
Spike Lee is such a pretentious d-bag. He has not been relevant for years. Just keep making an ass out of yourself at Knicks games, you little midget. Anything to stay in the public eye, huh, little man? If anything, Django CELEBRATES a black man's triumph over adversity, racism, slavery, finding a lost love, etc. How is that detrimental to African Americans? Is he implying that the use of the N-word 100 times proves the movie is racist? Hell, I am surprised it wasn't used MORE. You are spot on, Luther. Lee is jealous. He isn't half the movie maker that Taratino is, and he is bitter that Tarantino, as a white man, makes movies that African Americans can relate to better than the ones he makes. Many, if not most, of the characters in Lee movies serve to further stereotypes, and/or act as a further divider between races. That takes no talent at all. Go away, Spike.
This whole article is nonsensical and full of bias and contradiction. On one hand you defame Spike Lee for "trashing" Django as if disagreeing with a film's premise is "trashing it." Spike Lee, like anyone else, is free to pick and choose which films he supports. Paying to go see a movie is supporting it. Spike Lee would be hypocrite to put money in the hands of a system that he feels made a tasteless film. And there is enough information about the film at this point for him to make an educated decision. But while you are offended by Spike "trashing" a film, you go on to trash Spike and his career in a very personal and childish way. You claim he makes films that the "majority of blacks cannot rate to." Have you even seen "Do the Right Thing?" "Malcom X?" "Clockers?" "He Got Game" How about his four-part documentary on Hurricane Katrina? Do you think the "majority of black people" cant relate to that? To say Django is in the same category of relevance and truth is outlandish when that film is widely regarded as a fantasy movie (somewhat like Inglorious Basterds) and seems to more inspired by comic book sensationalism and a vivid imagination than real life. And your insights into the films metaphors are also questionable...at one point in your article you make and unfounded claim about Modern-Day White Bosses treating their black employees better than black bosses do (according to what? To whom) But then you go on to to praise a scene in "Django" in which to slaves fight each other in front of their white Master as being analagous to Modern Day Boxing in which white managers and and other business men profit of off two black mean fighting each other. This is a glaring contradiction to your previous point that whites in positions of authority treat blacks more respectfully than their black authoritarian counterparts.I am osurprised you didn't notice this flaw
in reasoning but then again I doubt
this entire article required much
forethought at all.
Brother …I'd have to disagree We've seen too far many movies of slavery in America From Amastad to roots, and now django and its all by design every So often white America must remind us of the whipping,the brutality and the oppression of slavery.Spike lee's film Malcom X was a poignant portrayal of a great man Who is a significant part of the African American experience in AmericaSpike lee's brilliant film was snubbed by the Oscars because unlike django. It portrayed a that who was defiant rather than compliant to the oppression that we experienced We have yet to see films portraying Great Africans like Queen Sheba, Hannibal, Shaka Zulu, Queen Hatshepsut, Abu Bakr II(the ancient ruler of Mali) the pharaoh Akhenaton, Who was the first to conceptualize the theory of One God, that many of modern day religions base their doctrine on. African ancestors who ruled vast empires, and conceptualized much of the knowledge that is still used by modern societies today, numerology, astrology architecture, written history, Africans have established the oldest cultures known to mankind.We continue to ignore and forget that we have a direct lineage to the oldest culture in the world, and allow Hollywood to condition us with the continual effects of slavery. that we black people ourselves label the "African American experience". Needless to say I agree with spike lee's position and would rather support films that nurture our minds and culture.
Luuuther, you come across as having the same shortsightedness that you accuse Mr. Lee. Tarantino "makes better movies," Spike's "Hollywoods resident house negro." Come, come now, you did not have to go there to express your appreciation for Mr. Tarantino's clever period piece of a particular aspect of American life. You come across as an easy lay for your precious Hollywood young king. Keep an open mind but don't let your brains fall out. I am a fan of Tarantino. I have enjoy each and every one of his films to date that I am aware of. I say the same for our treasured Spike Lee. Your ignorgance of history and eagerness to dismiss the opinions of those that have gone before you smacks of "daddy issues".
White man's version of black; black man's version of black. You have your version of black; I have my version of black. No two versions are completely alike; no two versions right or wrong.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate and glucose. Glycogen branches are catabolized by the sequential removal of glucose monomers via phosphorolysis, by the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase. [1]
Contents |
The overall reaction for the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate is:
Here, glycogen phosphorylase cleaves the bond linking a terminal glucose residue to a glycogen branch by substitution of a phosphoryl group for the α[1→4] linkage. Glucose residues are phosphorolysed from branches of glycogen until four residues before a glucose that is branched with a α[1→6] linkage. Glycogen debranching enzyme then transfers three of the remaining four glucose units to the end of another glycogen branch. This exposes the α[1→6] branching point, which is hydrolysed by α[1→6] glucosidase, removing the final glucose residue of the branch as a molecule of glucose and eliminating the branch. This is the only case in which a glycogen metabolite is not glucose-1-phosphate. The glucose is concomitantly phosphorylated to glucose-1-phosphate by hexokinase. Glucose-1-phosphate is converted to glucose-6-phosphate by the enzyme phosphoglucomutase.
Glycogenolysis takes place in the cells of the muscle and liver tissues in response to hormonal and neural signals. In particular, glycogenolysis plays an important role in the fight-or-flight response and the regulation of glucose levels in the blood.
In myocytes (muscle cells), glycogen degradation serves to provide an immediate source of glucose-6-phosphate for glycolysis, to provide energy for muscle contraction.
In hepatocytes (liver cells), the main purpose of the breakdown of glycogen is for the release of glucose into the bloodstream for uptake by other cells. The phosphate group of glucose-6-phosphate is removed by the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase, which is not present in myocytes, and the free glucose exits the cell via GLUT2 facilitated diffusion channels in the hepatocyte cell membrane.
Glycogenolysis is regulated hormonally in response to blood sugar levels by glucagon and insulin, and stimulated by epinephrine during the fight-or-flight response. In myocytes, glycogen degradation may also be stimulated by neural signals.[2]
Parenteral (intravenous) administration of glucagon is a common human medical intervention in diabetic emergencies when sugar cannot be given orally. It can also be administered intramuscularly.

Some news, apparently, is fit to print, but not too boldly. Take, for example, the demure self-censorship on display Saturday in the New York Times' eye-opening report, headlined "On Island, Largely Blue, an Exception: Trump Tower," on the handful of New York City neighborhoods that voted for Mitt Romney over President Obama. Overall, the city voted Obama over Romney 81% to 18%.
The headline and the first five paragraphs were about the two isolated election precincts on the Upper East Side of Manhattan Island where Romney won half or more of the vote. It wasn't until paragraph 7 to find out that the main news began to trickle out: that the "deepest single bloc of Republican support in all the five boroughs" was a four-square-block section of Gravesend, Brooklyn, "dotted with Sephardic temples and yeshivas."
Finally, well into the jump, we learned that Romney "enjoyed strong support from a range of neighborhoods with large populations of Orthodox Jews." Many precincts in Borough Park, Kew Gardens Hills and Sheepshead Bay (which is largely Russian, not Orthodox) voted 90% GOP. A note on the accompanying map gave you the money quote: "Mr. Obama's worst precincts were in Orthodox Jewish areas like Ocean Parkway and Williamsburg in Brooklyn and Kew Gardens Hills in Queens."
The map shows the city's 5,286 precincts as a sea of blue and red dots, shaded darker or lighter to indicate higher or lower percentages of partisan leaning. The darkest red voted over 80% for Romney, while pale pink gave him 50% to 65%. In addition to the broad swathes of dark red running down Brooklyn from Hasidic Borough Park down Sephardic Ocean Park to Russian Brighton Beach, there are dark red clusters in mostly Italian-American Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, and mostly Irish-American (and storm-ravaged) Breezy Point, Queens.
Grace Meng has discovered her inner Israel hawk.
Meng is the New York City Councilwoman who won a Democratic congressional primary in Gary Ackerman's district in Queens this summer.
In an op-ed in the Jewish Week yesterday, Meng suggested that President Obama "could have been — and still can be — a greater friend to Israel."
The column channels Bob Turner, the Republican Congressman who last fall won a huge upset in a special election in a district that overlaps with Meng's after Ed Koch declared that the race was a referendum on Obama's Israel policy.
Especially since Turner's victory, the hawkish pro-Israel line has been a constant theme in that corner of Queens. But it's not a role that Meng played during the primaries.
Results were mixed last night for New York City congressional hopefuls who ran on their pro-Israel credentials.
In Brooklyn, Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries trounced Councilman Charles Barron in a Democratic congressional primary where Barron's harsh criticism of Israel was a major issue.
But in Queens, Councilwoman Grace Meng received nearly twice as many votes as Assemblyman Rory Lancman, who made much of his right-wing pro-Israel platform.
The results don't add much clarity to the question of how Republican Bob Turner really won his Queens special election last September. Both the Meng and Jeffries races took place in districts that include portions of the heavily Jewish district that Turner won nine months ago.
Some claimed the shocking victory for Turner was a referendum against Obama's Israel policy, while others suggested his Democratic opponent's vote in support of gay marriage was more significant. The answer could help political hopefuls win support in the area's large Orthodox and Russian-speaking Jewish communities.
Lancman apparently thought that hawkish talk on Israel won it for Turner. In the Queens race, Lancman talked a lot about Israel — so much that his opponents criticized him for it during a televised debate. Lancman's resounding defeat could signal that his unremitting focus on the Jewish State during the campaign was a bit too much for Queens voters.
How big a role should Israel play in a local election in Queens?
Not very, New York City Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley argued during a debate last night between the candidates vying for the Democratic nomination in New York's Sixth Congressional District.
The NY-6 race pits State Assemblyman Rory Lancman against State Assemblywoman Grace Meng and Crowley for the seat now held by Gary Ackerman, who is retiring.
Crowley, whose candidacy doesn't have the backing of her uncle, the chair of the Queens County Democratic Party, was attacking Lancman, who has made his hawkish position on Israel a centerpiece of his campaign.
Lancman has run to the right of Ackerman on Israel, criticizing him for his short-lived alliance with the dovish pro-Israel group J-Street.
A June 11 Lancman fundraiser was hosted by a handful of prominent New York Israel hawks, including Jeffrey Wiesenfeld, the CUNY trustee who attempted to block playwright Tony Kushner from receiving an honorary degree over his left-wing views on Israel, and Joe Frager, organizer of the annual pro-settler Israel concert in Central Park.
At this year's Israel day parade, Lancman and Republican Congressman Bob Turner were photographed with a pantheon of right-wing Zionist leaders, including Helen Friedman of Americans for a Safe Israel, Likud MK Danny Danon, and Frager.
During last night's debate, Crowley hit Lancman for talking too much about Israel during the race.

Hi, We are considering covering our (currently) carpeted stairs with Hardwood treads. One of our neighbors did this and has complained about slipperiness/safety of the hardwood surfaces. I did some homework and Bona has a Non-skid material in their Traffic product line. Can anyone comment on or recommend the Bona Non-skid product? Any other product recommendations or solutions? TIA, Rog Smith 303 494 0140
It is a permanent non slip floor treatment for porous floor surfaces, and it's odorless.
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
Folks, We had this material installed on our stairs. It is very effective. Rog 303 494 0140

Personal Injury Liability: Public Parks
Locate a Local Personal Injury Lawyer
Can Local Governments Be Held Liable for Injuries to People In Public Parks?
It depends. The majority of states consider public parks to be part of the local government's job of promoting the health and welfare of the general public. As a result, these states consider public parks to be a government activity, which prevents liability for any injuries that occur on the premises.
In contrast, a good number of states require local governments to keep public parks reasonably safe for patrons, and impose liability in the case of injury. Many of these states consider public parks to be a permissive (i.e. optional) benefit given by local government, which necessarily obliges them to keep the parks well-maintained and free from significant dangers.
Why Does the Distinction Between Government Activity and Permissive Benefit Exist?
Courts generally do not want to interfere with a local government's ability to do its job, and therefore will not honor lawsuits having to deal with local government activities.
As stated above, some states consider public parks to be part of a local government?s job to provide for the good of its citizens. However, a local government is less likely to build a park if it?s open to being sued for every injury that occurs on the premises. Therefore, in order to encourage the local government to carry out its duties, some states label public parks as a government activity, providing immunity against injuries that occur on park grounds.
On the other hand, some states recognize that local governments stand to gain from creating public parks (e.g. increased land value, city reputation, etc.). Thus, these states consider public parks to be a permissive benefit that local governments build for their own profit or gain. As a result, local governments in these states are treated much like private businesses. More specifically, just as private businesses are obligated to protect the safety of their customers, local governments must also protect the safety of people that use public parks.
Can State Laws Affect a Local Government's Liability for Injuries In Public Parks?
Yes. In fact, many states have specific laws in place that make local governments liable for injuries in public parks due to negligence. This is even true for some states that consider public parks to be a government activity.
What Areas of a Public Park Does a Local Government's Liability for Injury Extend To?
A local government can be liable for anything within the park grounds. Various cases have found liability for injuries occurring on playgrounds, basketball courts, baseball fields, skateboard parks, and even public pools.
How Can a Lawyer Help Me?
If you suffered injury while using facilities in a public park, you should contact a personal injury attorney to learn about any possible legal options you may have. Because public park liability laws differ from state to state, a lawyer is essential in determine what laws apply to your case. In addition, an attorney may be able to refer to cases similar to yours, and gauge the possible success of your claim.

Kimi Raikkonen + Valentino Rossi = Ferrari 2007
It really is silly season at the moment isn't it? I think journalists are currently sitting around thinking, what would be the absolute best headline we can make.. I know! Let's take a guy fighting for the world championship in a dominant silver car, and team him up with their arch enemies in the red cars which are woeful at the moment.. That makes a lot of sense right?
Oh, and because those red cars are Italian, let's throw in an Italian bike rider driver as well! But let's not stop there, let's make it a 3 year deal for Rossi!! Now that's a headline!

This week is the final week of classes and I couldn't be more excited! Butler has definitely been a fun experience and I cannot wait until my years to come! I really hope my future years don't go by as fast.
The only bad part about the year ending is that finals are rapidly approaching! Luckily for me, I only have one final during finals week. The rest of my classes either don't have a final or are having it this week. My final is on the last day of finals (just my luck!) so I'll be slowly but surely moving my stuff back home slowly during the week.
I'm going to miss so much about campus during the summer! I'm going to miss all the people, all my classes, and all the Pepsi, since Butler is a Pepsi campus!
The thing I'll miss most is randomly seeing Blue 2 in Starbucks in the mornings! He better stay rowdy for when I get back!
Random Video of the Day:
Blue 2 just being the celebrity he is!

The NHL's top defenseman groups
August, 21, 2013
Craig Custance | ESPN Insider
Bruce Bennett/Getty ImagesDuncan Keith is one of many reasons the Blackhawks have the NHL's top defenseman group.
On Tuesday we explored the Top 10 forward groups in the NHL this season, but scoring alone won't win you a championship. So let's have a look at the NHL's best teams in terms of depth on defense.Chicago's depth and mobility on defense was as big a reason the Blackhawks won a Stanley Cup as their outstanding group of forwards (which ranked second overall in those ranks). They lead off our Top 10 groups of blueliners in the NHL this season.
1. Chicago Blackhawks
The strength of this defense is its skating and ability to lead Chicago's transition game. From Duncan Keith to Nick Leddy, the Blackhawks' defense is loaded with strong skaters. The addition of Johnny Oduya slotted everybody into place by solidifying their second pair, and the Blackhawks have been winning ever since.
The return of Michal Rozsival keeps the group's depth in place, although Leddy is going to have to recover from a less-than-stellar performance in the playoffs. "If Leddy is your No. 6, that's pretty good," an NHL scout said. "I don't think there will be any residual effect [from his postseason struggles] but it was certainly noticeable that his minutes were trimmed."

Why do cash advance loans get this kind of bad rap? Frequently you will observe negative stories about payday cash loan and in what way they carry ridiculous APRs well over 3,000%. Extremely high APRs however are inherently flawed. An online payday cash loan is ideal for short-term borrowing and cannot be annualized to obtain home mortgage. Investing in this same logic on the payday cash advance critics, you will quote a hotel room for 54,000 annually or buy salmon for $15,000 a lot. It really can not work that way online payday cash loan.
While payday cash loan do carry beyond average fees, fortunately they are an extremely convenient substitute for access wage day before your future payday. They shouldn't however be studied out recklessly. A good suggestion make use of is actually the price of failing to take out the loan is above the price of the finance charge it makes financial sense. Additional fees on credit cards, car payments, and mortgages include $25-$75 and can easily surpass the finance fee on an online payday cash loan advance.
An payday cash loan is oftentimes your best option for individuals that need fast cash before their next payday.

So if instead there isn't at least a 680 or maybe even 700 credit score it is sometimes complicated for getting lending. Therefore, should you be looking for wage day and can't receive a traditional loan, then an online payday cash advance is normally your only option.
The normal payday cash loan has a finance fee of $15 for any $100 which is borrowed. Case the average however which enable it to changes from one state to another. Stick to you are trying to acquire an online payday cash loan advance as well as the lender will give you a lending product having a finance fee that is way beyond this it will be cognizant of research prices for just a better offer.

JÉRÉMIE, HAITI – "Young girls here start having babies when they are only 14 years old," says 17-year-old Bernia Chalestra of her peers.
But Chalestra, a high school student in Baryadel in Haiti's Grand'Anse department, says this is beginning to change, thanks to a new club. Chalestra is a member of a sexual and reproductive health education club that helps young girls avoid early pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.
CARE, a humanitarian organization dedicated to fighting global poverty, helped form the club, Chalestra says. Franck Jean, a nurse at a local community clinic, leads the group. The club aims to help girls better understand how their bodies work, how sexually transmitted diseases are spread and how to avoid getting pregnant before they are ready.
"Thanks to the club, we avoid having babies before we are ready, and we also avoid getting infected with illnesses that potentially could cause us to die," Chalestra says.
She says she is using her new knowledge to educate younger girls.
"I have participated in sex education, and I have been able to help other young girls," Chalestra says. "I will fight for this so that it can continue."
Lyndia Francois, 17, also a resident of Baryadel and a member of the same club, says that it was only luck that she didn't have a baby before learning about safe sex methods.
"I was already sexually active, and if it was not for the club, I could have had two kids already," she says.
Francois stresses how important it is for other girls like her to learn about their bodies.
Sexual and reproductive health education is not part of the formal education curriculum for girls in Haiti, especially in rural areas. Now, thanks to local nurses and international and local nongovernmental organizations, sex education clubs are on the rise for girls who crave information to avoid early pregnancy and the contraction of sexually transmitted diseases. The girls also go on to become advocates of safe sex among their peers. The girls ask for continuing education as organizations and hospitals plan to expand programs to other communities in Haiti.
In Haiti, 34 percent of males ages 15 to 19 in Haiti have a comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission, compared with 31 percent of females, according to UNICEF. Only 29 percent of females between 15 and 24 who had sex with a partner with whom they were not married or cohabiting during the year before being surveyed say that their partners used a condom. And 15 percent of Haitian women ages 20 to 24 give birth before the age of 18.
Carmensize Guerrier, a nurse in Petite Rivière, a community in the same town as Baryadel, Dame-Marie, says that sex education itself isn't a new concept in the country. Still, it is not required or guaranteed as part of young people's education.
Chalestra says that having babies too early is the downfall of young girls in her community. Women need to be aware so they can make

Hundreds of animals removed from Ohio man's house
Published on Jan 20, 2013 6:06 AM
CLEVELAND, Ohio (REUTERS) - Humane society members wearing protective masks removed nearly 300 animals including pigeons, chickens and rabbits from an Ohio man's reeking house this week.
Most of the animals are expected to survive including some that were sick, Ms Sheila Marquis, an officer with the Humane Society of Dayton, Ohio, told Reuters on Saturday.
Workers on Thursday took away 60 pigeons, chickens and roosters from the house in Huber Heights, a suburb of Dayton.
They returned the following day for 223 animals including 100 pigeons and 30 rabbits.

Can't afford the flight? Create your own Air Force One flyover
You probably don't have the $328,835 to spend on a fancy New York photo shoot, but CNET readers surely have the skills to create their own photo ops, and for much less than the $328,835 it cost the White House.
Update 1:10 p.m. PDT: If you tried sending an image to the e-mail address provided earlier Monday and it bounced back, please try sending it again to my e-mail address, provided below, while we straighten out our e-mail kinks.
You probably don't have your own Air Force One, or the $328,835 to spend on a fancy New York photo shoot like the United States government, but with a few basic Photoshop skills and an Air Force One press photo, we're betting you can make some pretty convincing images of Air Force One flyovers, without sending people running in the streets.
1. Copy this press photo of Air Force One:
2. Take one of your photos of tech landmarks and locations and paste in Air Force One! Voila! Air Force One flyover of WWDC like the one I did above? Macworld? Google headquarters?
3. Send an e-mail with your best Photoshopped images to firstname.lastname@example.com

@George56 - Yes, it is a good idea to review the hand signals for driving. One never knows when they will be needed.
I had to chuckle when reading the article. As a young girl, I had the hand signals memorized from watching my parents, and I remember the cold and rain coming into the car when the window was opened.

Fighting Scams Targeting the Elderly With Old-School Tech 98
from the going-back dept.
from the going-back dept.
itwbennett writes Sharp is launching a pair of landline phones designed to counter a growing form of fraud in Japan that preys upon the elderly. The 'ore ore' ('it's me, it's me') fraudsters pretend to be grandchildren in an emergency and convince their victims to send money, generally via ATM. Sharp's new phones are designed to alert seniors to the dangers of unknown callers. When potential victims receive that are not registered in the internal memory of Sharp's new phones, their LED bars glow red and the phones go into anti-scam mode. An automated message then tells the caller that the call is being recorded and asks for the caller to state his or her name before the call is answered.

Thanks for this. Was just gonna get a GTX 750, seems like the perfect gpu for work / casual gaming.
Phoronix: 30-Way Graphics Card Comparison On Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS
After this week already seeing how the open-source graphics drivers supplied by Ubuntu 14.04 LTS allow Radeon Gallium3D to run at ~80% of the Catalyst Linux driver and how open-source graphics still struggle with older hardware, our latest testing of the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS development version that will be released next month leads us to benchmarking 30 different AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards under this popular desktop Linux distribution.
Thanks for this. Was just gonna get a GTX 750, seems like the perfect gpu for work / casual gaming.
Michael, FYI: 8800GT = 9800GT = GTS250 You only need to test one of them.
They use either the G92a or G92b gpus. Difference was just going from 65nm to 55nm, and that useless hybrid feature.
You can actually crossflash the things around and they id themselves as any of these models. Ie the 9800gt firmware enables phys support to the 8800gt.
The only reason you get different results is memory size, and speed (some such as "green" models came underclocked).
I know nvidia has reused their gpus in other models but thats the one i know the most.
The 8800GTS was a different beast, much more worth testing IMO.
The 8800GT was infamous because of their badly configured firmware fan settings, the card would happily reach 90°c with factory firmware.
With a few firmware tweaks on mine, it never got past 70°c. Some people lost their cards for trusting their manufacturer supplied firmware settings, but some brands did issue firmware updates. Oh and the single slot reference model was very noisy when pushed to max.
Compared to the quiet and power efficient 750ti, its incredible how much progress nvidia has done. I'll probably replace my 460 with the 750ti or a newer maxwell based gpu.
Please stop writing "binary driver" . You can only employ drivers in their binary form . Either write "binary-only driver", since their souce code is what is not provided by their authors and missing to the end-user, or write "propietary driver". Thanks.
um... seriously?
"Binary Driver" is a well known and accepted term for drivers that are only obtainable in their binary form, as opposed to "open source drivers" you are the first and probably the only person I'll ever seen complain about this across the various linux news sites.
Is it safe to say that I must install Ubuntu 14.04 in order for the NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti to work?
I am trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 and right where the install goes into graphics mode
my install stops. All I have is a flashing cursor.
In the process right now of downloading Ubuntu 14.04. If that does not work not sure
what to do next.

- Lavendox
- Pepha-Tight
- Unitamuron H-22
- Echinacea
- Echinacea helps our own immune system to be better equipped in fighting bacteria, viruses and even cancer cells. It is also used in the treatment for bladder infections, malaria, gum disease and athlete's foot. It is also used for problem skin such as eczema, psoriasis and acne as it contains anti-inflammatory properties. Echinacea also helps with faster healing of skin abrasions and helps with the recovery time of some viruses. You can treat your problem skin with echinacea by using a natural face cream that contains it or an ointment that can be used directly onto the affected area. Echinacea has incredible benefits for your skin. Echinacea was "effective in improving skin hydration and reducing wrinkles." Another study showed that it prevented damage to collagen from free radicals. That sort of damage is exactly the reason that our skin starts to lose its elasticity as we age, so Echinacea can keep your skin youthful and beautiful. Echinacea also prevent the breakdown of hyaluronic, an essential component of your skin that keeps it impermeable to toxins and bacterial invaders. If you've gotten a sunburn, I especially recommend applying a poultice of ground Echinacea to the affected area. It can do wonders, especially if it's applied soon after exposure.
- Unitamuron H-22 highly purified, that gives outstanding moisturizing properties on skin. Unitamuron H-22 not only improve the elasticity and hydration of the skin, they also show an exceptional smoothing effect. The extremely beneficial properties of Unitamuron H-22 on regular use confer a lasting, extremely pleasant velvety feeling on the skin.
- Pepha-Tight forms a thin film on the skin creating a an instant, perceptible tightening effect making it a key ingredient in anti-aging, anti-wrinkle and skin tightening products that produce "instant" results. Equally important, Pepha-Tight provides long-term firming when applied regularly and/or as part of an anti-wrinkle skin care regimen. It also acts as a protective shield against oxidative stress (free-radical damage caused by oxidization) and helps stimulate Collagen I which is an essential part of the skin's connective tissues (fibroblasts). Pepha Tight as an antioxidant component and anti-aging benefits from the stimulation and promotion of collagen fibers.
- Lavendox circulatory system is enhanced by the use of this essential oil an increase in blood flow means more nutrients being brought to the skin along with much needed oxygen to the cells. This is essential to healthier cells, and benefits more frequent cell turnover. This is very useful in aromatherapy and many aromatic preparations and combinations are made using lavendox.
