The Central Connecticut women's soccer team fell at Sacred Heart by a score of 2-0 on Friday night. The Blue Devils outshot the Pioneers 12-10 but were unable to find the back of the net in 90 minutes of regulation. With the loss, CCSU falls to 3-8-0 (1-1-0 NEC) on the season.
The Pioneers (4-9-0, 1-2-0 NEC) earn their first conference victory with the win. The Blue Devils went down in the 28th minute when Sacred Heart notched the first goal of the game off of a shot into the upper right corner by SHU's Alexis Parlato. Neither team was able to score throughout the remainder of the first half and the squads entered the locker rooms with CCSU trailing by one.
Central conceded the final goal in the 71st minute of play when Parlato beat CCSU keeper Nikola Deiter, sending the ball into the corner of the net, to secure the win for the Pioneers.
Two Blue Devils led the squad on offense with three shots each, junior Tori Sousa and freshman Morgan Santoro. Sousa registered two shots on goal of CCSU's three. Senior Jewel Robinson added the other.
Both Deiter and SHU goalie Sydney Judkins tallied three saves between the posts, all three of Deiter's stops came in the first half while Judkins' earned hers in the second. Both teams came out even in corner kicks, each posting four.
The Blue Devils return home on Sunday, Oct. 13, to host the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds in their third NEC contest of the season. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at the CCSU Soccer Field, fans can watch the action live by visiting www.NECFrontRow.com.

That's bad but that's more names than I can name people .
Everyone of them I recognise and miss if not in sight .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , Well what was on my mind about the last post was that I am told that if I cannot name the flock they are not pets .
Views I would love to hear .
I personally not bothered as I have them as rescue and give a good home , which may not be a pet but they certainly give me the same feeling .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
No 30 MORNING , the broken claw girl , a stay in the kitchen and a good morning from me hence the name , Silly me.
All good but the girls and boys are trying old tricks and working on new escape plans I am sure .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , all good in the flocks , famous last words , Champ joined me Sunday morning, we slept through to 8.30 am , having fell asleep snoring in my ear as soon as he rested his head on my shoulder .He is quite unbelievable in the way he remembers the past . The main flock plan A worked first time , followed by the same tricks at the second door . Unfortunately the practise escape worked so well they all turned around after a minute and ran back in the run for the food .
3 boys still not fighting long may that last .
Hard wood roofing being obtained and will need fitting as plastic has been blown to bits in last weeks storm .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , well another rest period comes to a end , Quaker is not well , lost weight ,mucky rear , not eating , bugs.
This morning Sprayed , DE powdered feed a little plus Metacam . Found her in the run hunched up at the door. Will go home soon to take cat to vets so will bring in doors .
Give her some t l c and meds and see what happens . She again is reaching the 4 year boundary . Maybe the vets . She has not got the water belly so maybe some treatment will help.
Tylan will be also on her meds list .
Something disturbed Champ last night as sure he was crowing at 2.00am again.
Quite till I got up at 5.00am and they all got woke up with feeding.
Harley is another story , liver ok , lump inconclusive monitoring . I think not a good sample take all round . Pay for more . Left to vet who wants to monitor her -6 months size of lump etc.
Well more later .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , Well cat s sick, back next week (Wed 7.30pm ) for jabs if ok.
Dog on meds .
Quaker in dog cage -kitchen - meds and special tlc .
went out in garden pm feed for flock and one of the boys (musketeers ) seemed limping . Check him out tonight when he roosts. (he is one of the two look a likes so have to check both out .
Was going away for as much time as possible weekend Woburn Centre parks , but now with cat meds twice a day I give it up.
roll on Feb (please )
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hens need rehoming 28th Jan Bishop Stortford .
Notified PM today.
Rescue hens - large caged flocks.
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi Well S.... T January continues.
Quaker yesterday had some more meds , TLC and rear end wash and blow dry . She actually enjoyed the heat and feathers blown , I think. She like most of the sick girls I have had looks so pretty , White in her feathers on brown , round her neck and tail.
I put grease on her legs and generally spoiled her . Food only the best . Even lettuce which she enjoys.
She slept last night with her head under her wing which I am taking as a good sign instead of head falling to the floor style . So hope is still with me , and as said many times hoping for the best and fearing the worst .
rest of the flock ok noisy this morning after my alarm went off.
Champ has been very good with his girls as he sits at the open door to the coop part and guards against intruders and calling when treats arrive. Desmond and his hens are still perching outside in the run , even in this weather . Captain Chaos is in the Cluckingham palace and snuggles down on the middle of the nest areas.
Goldie 2 sleep`s on the floor with the a few others . Lit al n sleeps on the top floor in a long oblong 8 inch square 2 foot card board box . with sawdust and straw .
they all have a place and if one goes in the wrong place the hand bags come out . Also they go in at the right time as if a girl goes to early or late it causes mayhem.
I can safely say they have settled down now to the lock up and await the summer months with more patience than me at this time . Looks like more girls are coming with the re homing on the 3rd Feb and the possible need to have some from Hertfordshire .
Well wishing all as much happiness as possible .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all, Well Quaker is still this side of the bridge ,not exactly over energetic. She has something in her crop. Fed sweetcorn which she managed to eat a couple of and toss the rest . I forced a good few down beak so she has had some , more later depending on what she eats her self . De her yesterday and also sprayed her with cat flea spray . Today I tried to give her some advocate . Trouble there is it was for a 4.5 kilo cat and she got the lot. Not sure if that was good as an over dose .
Kill or cure that one (bugs that is).
Must get her comfortable as she will not feel like eating with all the bugs running around on her .
Well going home to see how the little darling is doing. sweet corn for all as well.
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , well Quaker is still with me . She slept on top of the dog cage (free) in the (Champ ) Cat bed . Water bottle and towel . She eventually after standing for a while sat down and made her self comfortable. She is doing white runny poo`s.
Todays was a little more solid . If I am thinking correct this may have something to do with egg dept. / worms ,though not seen any.
How a beautiful looking hen can be so ill I do not understand. I am sure if I was as ill as her I would look pretty rough , that is not that I aint all ready .
gave Metacam and Sulputrim and some pellets as she should eat with the meds . Back in dog cage .Not lively but will have to wait and see . Needs weight put back on . still trying my damnedest to get rid of bugs , maybe getting on top of them , would make her more comfortable for sure.
Cat hates me and runs for the hills . No chance of eye drops at all , food just about as long as the dogs do not get at it.
Harley just the same and no changes by me expected.
feed the flock , again noisy but neighs kitchen lights where on so presume that got them going as well.
all the good thoughts for Quaker needed and sometimes it works.
Still on hope for the best and fear the worst .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , well yesterday I lost my Quaker . She will be missed but she had such a good life with me . longer than she had in the cages . She loved life and was always there for attention when I needed it . My old girls are disappearing and I hope that they have passed on all the things they learnt to the new comers and that they will take her place in kitchen runs, garden digging and all the other things she did.
Champ was up early before me followed by the other boys. This I am sure was due to neighbour going to work early this morning. (Kitchen lights etc. came on , bike started up and away. )
Have to keep an eye on the flock as in lock down .
Woburn this weekend after work and off Monday visiting the animal park.
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all Quaker has been laid to rest in a new cemetery for lost flock members. It is at work on the land that is reclaimed and being green and tree (apples ,plum cherries.).
Name on a stone to be remembered.
No chance of a fox taking her away.
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Sorry to hear you have lost Quaker Bob. Like you say, she had a marvellous life with you, free and happy and that's what it is all about. Sorry for your loss.
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Bob such sad news to hear about Quaker As you know, and as others have said, she had a wonderful life with you and was obviously so very happy. She went relatively quickly, which is a blessing for these hard working girls as we know, and surrounded by care and love. What more could any of us ask for.

Glycolysis (from glycose, an older term[1] for glucose + -lysis degradation) is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C6H12O6, into pyruvate, CH3COCOO− + H+. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy compounds ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).[2][3]
Glycolysis is a determined sequence of ten enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The intermediates provide entry points to glycolysis. For example, most monosaccharides, such as fructose and galactose, can be converted to one of these intermediates. The intermediates may also be directly useful. For example, the intermediate dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is a source of the glycerol that combines with fatty acids to form fat.
Glycolysis occurs, with variations, in nearly all organisms, both anaerobic. The wide occurrence of glycolysis indicates that it is one of the most ancient known metabolic pathways.[4] Indeed, the reactions that constitute glycolysis and its parallel pathway, the pentose phosphate pathway, occur metal-catalyzed under conditions of the Archean ocean also in the absence of enzymes.[5] Glycolysis could thus have originated from chemical constraints of the prebiotic world.
Glycolysis occurs in most organisms in the cytosol of the cell. The most common type of glycolysis is the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP pathway), which was discovered by Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof, and Jakub Karol Parnas. Glycolysis also refers to other pathways, such as the Entner–Doudoroff pathway and various heterofermentative and homofermentative pathways. However, the discussion here will be limited to the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas pathway.[6]
The entire glycolysis pathway can be separated into two phases:[2]
- The Preparatory Phase – in which ATP is consumed and is hence also known as the investment phase
- The Pay Off Phase – in which ATP is produced.
- 1 Overview
- 2 Elucidation of the pathway
- 3 Sequence of reactions
- 4 Regulation
- 5 Post-glycolysis processes
- 6 Glycolysis in disease
- 7 Interactive pathway map
- 8 Alternative nomenclature
- 9 See also
- 10 References
- 11 External links
OverviewThe overall reaction of glycolysis is:
|+ 2 [NAD]+ + 2 [ADP] + 2 [P]i
- Each exists in the form of a hydrogen phosphate anion (HPO42−), dissociating to contribute 2 H+ overall
- Each liberates an oxygen atom when it binds to an ADP (adenosine diphosphate) molecule, contributing 2 O overall
Charges are balanced by the difference between ADP and ATP. In the cellular environment, all three hydroxyl groups of ADP dissociate into −O- and H+, giving ADP3−, and this ion tends to exist in an ionic bond with Mg2+, giving ADPMg-. ATP behaves identically except that it has four hydroxyl groups, giving ATPMg2−. When these differences along with the true charges on the two phosphate groups are considered together, the net charges of −4 on each side are balanced.
For simple fermentations, the metabolism of one molecule of glucose to two molecules of pyruvate has a net yield of two molecules of ATP. Most cells will then carry out further reactions to 'repay' the used NAD+ and produce a final product of ethanol or lactic acid. Many bacteria use inorganic compounds as hydrogen acceptors to regenerate the NAD+.
Cells performing aerobic respiration synthesize much more ATP, but not as part of glycolysis. These further aerobic reactions use pyruvate and NADH + H+ from glycolysis. Eukaryotic aerobic respiration produces approximately 34 additional molecules of ATP for each glucose molecule, however most of these are produced by a vastly different mechanism to the substrate-level phosphorylation in glycolysis.
The lower-energy production, per glucose, of anaerobic respiration relative to aerobic respiration, results in greater flux through the pathway under hypoxic (low-oxygen) conditions, unless alternative sources of anaerobically oxidizable substrates, such as fatty acids, are found.
Elucidation of the pathway
In 1860, fermentation. In 1897, Eduard Buchner found that extracts of certain cells can cause fermentation. In 1905, Arthur Harden and William Young along with Nick Sheppard determined that a heat-sensitive high-molecular-weight subcellular fraction (the enzymes) and a heat-insensitive low-molecular-weight cytoplasm fraction (ADP, ATP and NAD+ and other cofactors) are required together for fermentation to proceed. The details of the pathway were eventually determined by 1940, with a major input from Otto Meyerhof and some years later by Luis Leloir. The biggest difficulties in determining the intricacies of the pathway were due to the very short lifetime and low steady-state concentrations of the intermediates of the fast glycolytic reactions.
Sequence of reactions
Preparatory phase
The first five steps are regarded as the preparatory (or investment) phase, since they consume energy to convert the glucose into two three-carbon sugar phosphates[2] (G3P).
The first step in glycolysis is phosphorylation of glucose by a family of enzymes called hexokinases to form glucose 6-phosphate (G6P). This reaction consumes ATP, but it acts to keep the glucose concentration low, promoting continuous transport of glucose into the cell through the plasma membrane transporters. In addition, it blocks the glucose from leaking out – the cell lacks transporters for G6P, and free diffusion out of the cell is prevented due to the charged nature of G6P. Glucose may alternatively be formed from the phosphorolysis or hydrolysis of intracellular starch or glycogen.
In animals, an isozyme of hexokinase called glucokinase is also used in the liver, which has a much lower affinity for glucose (Km in the vicinity of normal glycemia), and differs in regulatory properties. The different substrate affinity and alternate regulation of this enzyme are a reflection of the role of the liver in maintaining blood sugar levels.
Cofactors: Mg2+
G6P is then rearranged into fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) by glucose phosphate isomerase. Fructose can also enter the glycolytic pathway by phosphorylation at this point.
The change in structure is an isomerization, in which the G6P has been converted to F6P. The reaction requires an enzyme, phosphohexose isomerase, to proceed. This reaction is freely reversible under normal cell conditions. However, it is often driven forward because of a low concentration of F6P, which is constantly consumed during the next step of glycolysis. Under conditions of high F6P concentration, this reaction readily runs in reverse. This phenomenon can be explained through Le Chatelier's Principle. Isomerization to a keto sugar is necessary for carbanion stabilization in the fourth reaction step (below).
The energy expenditure of another ATP in this step is justified in 2 ways: The glycolytic process (up to this step) is now irreversible, and the energy supplied destabilizes the molecule. Because the reaction catalyzed by Phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK-1) is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP, an energetically favorable step, it is, in essence, irreversible, and a different pathway must be used to do the reverse conversion during gluconeogenesis. This makes the reaction a key regulatory point (see below). This is also the rate-limiting step.
Furthermore, the second phosphorylation event is necessary to allow the formation of two charged groups (rather than only one) in the subsequent step of glycolysis, ensuring the prevention of free diffusion of substrates out of the cell.
The same reaction can also be catalyzed by pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase (PFP or PPi-PFK), which is found in most plants, some bacteria, archea, and protists, but not in animals. This enzyme uses pyrophosphate (PPi) as a phosphate donor instead of ATP. It is a reversible reaction, increasing the flexibility of glycolytic metabolism.[8] A rarer ADP-dependent PFK enzyme variant has been identified in archaean species.[9]
Cofactors: Mg2+
Destabilizing the molecule in the previous reaction allows the hexose ring to be split by aldolase into two triose sugars, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, a ketose, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, an aldose. There are two classes of aldolases: class I aldolases, present in animals and plants, and class II aldolases, present in fungi and bacteria; the two classes use different mechanisms in cleaving the ketose ring.
Electrons delocalized in the carbon-carbon bond cleavage associate with the alcohol group. The resulting carbanion is stabilized by the structure of the carbanion itself via resonance charge distribution and by the presence of a charged ion prosthetic group.
|Triosephosphate isomerase rapidly interconverts dihydroxyacetone phosphate with glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GADP) that proceeds further into glycolysis. This is advantageous, as it directs dihydroxyacetone phosphate down the same pathway as glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, simplifying regulation.
Pay-off phase
The second half of glycolysis is known as the pay-off phase, characterised by a net gain of the energy-rich molecules ATP and NADH.[2] Since glucose leads to two triose sugars in the preparatory phase, each reaction in the pay-off phase occurs twice per glucose molecule. This yields 2 NADH molecules and 4 ATP molecules, leading to a net gain of 2 NADH molecules and 2 ATP molecules from the glycolytic pathway per glucose.
The triose sugars are 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.
The hydrogen is used to reduce two molecules of NAD+, a hydrogen carrier, to give NADH + H+ for each triose.
Hydrogen atom balance and charge balance are both maintained because the phosphate (Pi) group actually exists in the form of a hydrogen phosphate anion (HPO42-),[7] which dissociates to contribute the extra H+ ion and gives a net charge of -3 on both sides.
This step is the enzymatic transfer of a phosphate group from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to ADP by phosphoglycerate kinase, forming ATP and 3-phosphoglycerate. At this step, glycolysis has reached the break-even point: 2 molecules of ATP were consumed, and 2 new molecules have now been synthesized. This step, one of the two substrate-level phosphorylation steps, requires ADP; thus, when the cell has plenty of ATP (and little ADP), this reaction does not occur. Because ATP decays relatively quickly when it is not metabolized, this is an important regulatory point in the glycolytic pathway..
ADP actually exists as ADPMg-, and ATP as ATPMg2-, balancing the charges at -5 both sides.
Cofactors: Mg2+
|Phosphoglycerate mutase now forms 2-phosphoglycerate.
Enolase next forms phosphoenolpyruvate from 2-phosphoglycerate.
Cofactors: 2 Mg2+: one "conformational" ion to coordinate with the carboxylate group of the substrate, and one "catalytic" ion that participates in the dehydration.
A final substrate-level phosphorylation now forms a molecule of pyruvate and a molecule of ATP by means of the enzyme pyruvate kinase. This serves as an additional regulatory step, similar to the phosphoglycerate kinase step.
Cofactors: Mg2+
Glycolysis is regulated by slowing down or speeding up certain steps in the glycolysis pathway. This is accomplished by inhibiting or activating the enzymes that are involved. The steps that are regulated may be determined by calculating the change in free energy, ΔG, for each step. If a step's products and reactants are in equilibrium, then the step is assumed not to be regulated. Since the change in free energy is zero for a system at equilibrium, any step with a free energy change near zero is not being regulated. If a step is being regulated, then that step's enzyme is not converting reactants into products as fast as it could, resulting in a build-up of reactants, which would be converted to products if the enzyme were operating faster. Since the reaction is thermodynamically favorable, the change in free energy for the step will be negative. A step with a large negative change in free energy is assumed to be regulated.
Free energy changes
|Concentration / mM
|Dihydroxyacetone phosphate
The change in free energy, ΔG, for each step in the glycolysis pathway can be calculated using ΔG = ΔG°' + RTln Q, where Q is the reaction quotient. This requires knowing the concentrations of the metabolites. All of these values are available for erythrocytes, with the exception of the concentrations of NAD+ and NADH. The ratio of NAD+ to NADH in the cytoplasm is approximately 1000, which makes the oxidation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (step 6) more favourable.
Using the measured concentrations of each step, and the standard free energy changes, the actual free energy change can be calculated. (Neglecting this is very common - the delta G of ATP hydrolysis in cells is not the standard free energy change of ATP hydrolysis quoted in textbooks).
|ΔG°' / (kJ/mol)
|ΔG / (kJ/mol)
|Glucose + ATP4- → Glucose-6-phosphate2- + ADP3- + H+
|Glucose-6-phosphate2- → Fructose-6-phosphate2-
|Fructose-6-phosphate2- + ATP4- → Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate4- + ADP3- + H+
|Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate4- → Dihydroxyacetone phosphate2- + Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate2-
|Dihydroxyacetone phosphate2- → Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate2-
|Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate2- + Pi2- + NAD+ → 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate4- + NADH + H+
|1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate4- + ADP3- → 3-Phosphoglycerate3- + ATP4-
|3-Phosphoglycerate3- → 2-Phosphoglycerate3-
|2-Phosphoglycerate3- → Phosphoenolpyruvate3- + H2O
|Phosphoenolpyruvate3- + ADP3- + H+ → Pyruvate- + ATP4-
From measuring the physiological concentrations of metabolites in an erythrocyte it seems that about seven of the steps in glycolysis are in equilibrium for that cell type. Three of the steps — the ones with large negative free energy changes — are not in equilibrium and are referred to as irreversible; such steps are often subject to regulation.
Step 5 in the figure is shown behind the other steps, because that step is a side-reaction that can decrease or increase the concentration of the intermediate glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. That compound is converted to dihydroxyacetone phosphate by the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase, which is a catalytically perfect enzyme; its rate is so fast that the reaction can be assumed to be in equilibrium. The fact that ΔG is not zero indicates that the actual concentrations in the erythrocyte are not accurately known.
Biochemical logic
The existence of more than one point of regulation indicates that intermediates between those points enter and leave the glycolysis pathway by other processes. For example, in the first regulated step, hexokinase converts glucose into glucose-6-phosphate. Instead of continuing through the glycolysis pathway, this intermediate can be converted into glucose storage molecules, such as glycogen or starch. The reverse reaction, breaking down, e.g., glycogen, produces mainly glucose-6-phosphate; very little free glucose is formed in the reaction. The glucose-6-phosphate so produced can enter glycolysis after the first control point.
In the second regulated step (the third step of glycolysis), phosphofructokinase converts fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, which then is converted into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. The dihydroxyacetone phosphate can be removed from glycolysis by conversion into glycerol-3-phosphate, which can be used to form triglycerides.[12] On the converse, triglycerides can be broken down into fatty acids and glycerol; the latter, in turn, can be converted into dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which can enter glycolysis after the second control point.
The three regulated enzymes are hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase.
The enzymes are potential sites of control, and all three enzymes serve this purpose in glycolysis.
In animals, regulation of blood glucose levels by the pancreas in conjunction with the liver is a vital part of homeostasis. In liver cells, extra G6P (glucose-6-phosphate) may be converted to G1P for conversion to glycogen, or it is alternatively converted by glycolysis to acetyl-CoA and then citrate. Excess citrate is exported to the cytosol, where ATP citrate lyase will regenerate acetyl-CoA and OAA. The acetyl-CoA is then used for fatty acid synthesis and cholesterol synthesis, two important ways of utilizing excess glucose when its concentration is high in blood. Liver contains both hexokinase and glucokinase; both catalyse the phosphorylation of glucose to G6P but the latter is not inhibited by G6P. Thus, glucokinase allows glucose to be converted into glycogen, fatty acids, and cholesterol even as G6P accumulates in hepatocytes.[13] This is important when blood glucose levels are high. During hypoglycemia, the glycogen can be converted back to G6P and then converted to glucose by the liver-specific enzyme glucose 6-phosphatase and released into the blood without taking up the low concentration of glucose it releases. This reverse reaction is an important role of liver cells to maintain blood sugars levels during fasting. This is critical for brain function, since the brain utilizes glucose as an energy source under most conditions.
Phosphofructokinase is an important control point in the glycolytic pathway, since it is one of the irreversible steps and has key allosteric effectors, AMP and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP).
Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP) is a very potent activator of phosphofructokinase (PFK-1), which is synthesized when F6P is phosphorylated by a second phosphofructokinase (PFK2). In liver, when blood sugar is low and glucagon elevates cAMP, PFK2 is phosphorylated by protein kinase A. The phosphorylation inactivates PFK2, and another domain on this protein becomes active as fructose bisphosphatase-2, which converts F2,6BP back to F6P. Both glucagon and epinephrine cause high levels of cAMP in the liver. The result of lower levels of liver fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is a decrease in activity of phosphofructokinase and an increase in activity of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, so that gluconeogenesis (in essence, "glycolysis in reverse") is favored. This is consistent with the role of the liver in such situations, since the response of the liver to these hormones is to release glucose to the blood.
ATP competes with AMP for the allosteric effector site on the PFK enzyme. ATP concentrations in cells are much higher than those of AMP, typically 100-fold higher,[14] but the concentration of ATP does not change more than about 10% under physiological conditions, whereas a 10% drop in ATP results in a 6-fold increase in AMP.[15] Thus, the relevance of ATP as an allosteric effector is questionable. An increase in AMP is a consequence of a decrease in energy charge in the cell.
Citrate inhibits phosphofructokinase when tested in vitro by enhancing the inhibitory effect of ATP. However, it is doubtful that this is a meaningful effect in vivo, because citrate in the cytosol is utilized mainly for conversion to acetyl-CoA for fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis.
Pyruvate kinase
This enzyme catalyzes the last step of glycolysis, in which pyruvate and ATP are formed. Regulation of this enzyme is discussed in the main topic, pyruvate kinase.
Post-glycolysis processes
The overall process of glycolysis is:
- Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi → 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O
If glycolysis were to continue indefinitely, all of the NAD+ would be used up, and glycolysis would stop. To allow glycolysis to continue, organisms must be able to oxidize NADH back to NAD+. How this is performed depends on which external electron acceptor is available.
Anoxic regeneration of NAD+
One method of doing this is to simply have the pyruvate do the oxidation; in this process, pyruvate is converted to lactate (the conjugate base of lactic acid) in a process called lactic acid fermentation:
- Pyruvate + NADH + H+ → Lactate + NAD+
This process occurs in the bacteria involved in making yogurt (the lactic acid causes the milk to curdle). This process also occurs in animals under hypoxic (or partially anaerobic) conditions, found, for example, in overworked muscles that are starved of oxygen, or in infarcted heart muscle cells. In many tissues, this is a cellular last resort for energy; most animal tissue cannot tolerate anaerobic conditions for an extended period of time.
Some organisms, such as yeast, convert NADH back to NAD+ in a process called ethanol fermentation. In this process, the pyruvate is converted first to acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide, then to ethanol.
Lactic acid fermentation and ethanol fermentation can occur in the absence of oxygen. This anaerobic fermentation allows many single-cell organisms to use glycolysis as their only energy source.
Anoxic regeneration of NADH is only an effective means of energy production during short, intense exercise, providing energy for a period ranging from 10 seconds to 2 minutes and is dominant from about 10–30 seconds during a maximal effort. It replenishes very quickly over this period and produces 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule, or about 5% of glucose's energy potential (38 ATP molecules in bacteria). The speed at which ATP is produced is about 100 times that of oxidative phosphorylation. The pH in the cytoplasm quickly drops when hydrogen ions accumulate in the muscle, eventually inhibiting enzymes involved in glycolysis.
The burning sensation in muscles during hard exercise can be attributed to the production of hydrogen ions during a shift to lactic acid fermentation as oxygen is converted to carbon dioxide by aerobic respiration faster than the body can replenish it. These hydrogen ions form a part of lactic acid along with lactate. The body falls back on this less efficient but faster method of producing ATP under low oxygen conditions. This is thought to have been the primary means of energy production in earlier organisms before oxygen was at high concentration in the atmosphere and thus would represent a more ancient form of energy production in cells. The liver later gets rid of this excess lactate by transforming it back into an important glycolytic intermediate called pyruvate; see Cori cycle.
Fermenation of pyruvate to lactate is sometimes also called "anaerobic glycolysis", however, glycolysis ends with the production of pyruvate regardless in the presence or absence of oxygen.
Anaerobic respiration
In the above two examples of fermentation, NADH is oxidized by transferring two electrons to pyruvate. However, anaerobic bacteria use a wide variety of compounds as the terminal electron acceptors in cellular respiration: nitrogenous compounds, such as nitrates and nitrites; sulfur compounds, such as sulfates, sulfites, sulfur dioxide, and elemental sulfur; carbon dioxide; iron compounds; manganese compounds; cobalt compounds; and uranium compounds.
Aerobic respiration
In aerobic organisms, a complex mechanism has been developed to use the oxygen in air as the final electron acceptor.
- First, pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA and CO2 within the mitochondria in a process called pyruvate decarboxylation.
- Second, the acetyl-CoA enters the citric acid cycle, also known as Krebs Cycle, where it is fully oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, producing yet more NADH.
- Third, the NADH is oxidized to NAD+ by the electron transport chain, using oxygen as the final electron acceptor. This process creates a hydrogen ion gradient across the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
- Fourth, the proton gradient is used to produce about 2.5 ATP for every NADH oxidized in a process called oxidative phosphorylation.
Intermediates for other pathways
This article concentrates on the catabolic role of glycolysis with regard to converting potential chemical energy to usable chemical energy during the oxidation of glucose to pyruvate. Many of the metabolites in the glycolytic pathway are also used by anabolic pathways, and, as a consequence, flux through the pathway is critical to maintain a supply of carbon skeletons for biosynthesis.
In addition, not all carbon entering the pathway leaves as pyruvate and may be extracted at earlier stages to provide carbon compounds for other pathways.
These metabolic pathways are all strongly reliant on glycolysis as a source of metabolites: and many more.
- Gluconeogenesis
- Lipid metabolism
- Pentose phosphate pathway
- Citric acid cycle, which in turn leads to:
From an anabolic metabolism perspective, the NADH has a role to drive synthetic reactions, doing so by directly or indirectly reducing the pool of NADP+ in the cell to NADPH, which is another important reducing agent for biosynthetic pathways in a cell.
Glycolysis in disease
Genetic diseases
Glycolytic mutations are generally rare due to importance of the metabolic pathway, this means that the majority of occurring mutations result in an inability for the cell to respire, and therefore cause the death of the cell at an early stage. However, some mutations are seen with one notable example being Pyruvate kinase deficiency, leading to chronic hemolytic anemia.
Malignant rapidly growing tumor cells typically have glycolytic rates that are up to 200 times higher than those of their normal tissues of origin. This phenomenon was first described in 1930 by Otto Warburg and is referred to as the Warburg effect. The Warburg hypothesis claims that cancer is primarily caused by dysfunctionality in mitochondrial metabolism, rather than because of uncontrolled growth of cells. A number of theories have been advanced to explain the Warburg effect. One such theory suggests that the increased glycolysis is a normal protective process of the body and that malignant change could be primarily caused by energy metabolism.[16]
This high glycolysis rate has important medical applications, as high aerobic glycolysis by malignant tumors is utilized clinically to diagnose and monitor treatment responses of cancers by imaging uptake of 2-18F-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) (a radioactive modified hexokinase substrate) with positron emission tomography (PET).[17][18]
There is ongoing research to affect mitochondrial metabolism and treat cancer by reducing glycolysis and thus starving cancerous cells in various new ways, including a ketogenic diet.[19]

Barney's Rubble
Software Plus Services slowly emerges out of the ether.
But Microsoft, having not invented any of these terms, has its own phraseology
-- Software Plus Services. Knowing we'd be forced to use this phrase again and
again, our copy desk (let's call her Wendy) had to come up with a standard way
of writing this, and grappled mightily with whether to use the + sign or spell
out the word.
This digression aside, Software+Services (should we plunge you straight into
acronym hell by calling it S+S?) is being pushed, promoted and promulgated by
Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie.
Redmond (i.e. Ray) is finally putting meat on the services bones by laying
out its grand scheme. Here's the quick and dirty on the new multilayer architecture:
It all starts with Global Foundation Services. Forget about the word services
and think about the hardware that supports services. Microsoft's already hard
at work building and buying massive data centers, but it has a long way to go
to match Google's acres of Linux server farms.
top of this lies Cloud Infrastructure Services. This includes a lot of the features
that Microsoft currently offers enterprises, such as deployment and load balancing.
Resting on top of this cloud is Live Platform Services. Like the cloud, these
are application services for which Microsoft currently has enterprise counterparts,
such as identity management.
At the highest layer are the things that Microsoft perhaps knows best -- the
apps themselves. These apps include things Microsoft has done for years -- Web
surfing, collaboration, spreadsheets and word processing -- and hopefully things
Redmond gurus haven't even thought of yet. It's this top layer that one can
either buy on a subscription basis or use for free -- as long as you don't mind
a few ads along the way.
Software written to the four-layer Microsoft model can run as a pure service
from either Microsoft or another provider, or as client software plus Web services
(here Microsoft gets to charge you twice).
Now let's ask the tough questions. While it might be based on things Microsoft
has done in the past, this is an entirely new approach. Being so different and
so complex, there's a real possibility it will fail. (Does anyone remember Cairo?)
Redmond could also have trouble convincing developers to embrace this new architecture.
And Microsoft has no monopoly in the cloud. As we move to pure services, Microsoft
has less and less to leverage.
So far, Microsoft's services push is mixed. I use Windows Live Hotmail, and
besides having a name clunkier than a Yugo drivetrain, it's slow, non-intuitive
and sometimes unpredictable.
Others aren't as bad. In fact, we found that many Microsoft services, like
its toolbar and some mapping, equal or exceed those of Google.
Do you care about services? Let me know at [email protected].

A recent post on the Facebook page of Im Tirtzu, an Israeli right-wing group, depicts Washington's new special envoy for the Middle East peace process as a sock puppet operated by the progressive group the New Israel Fund.
"We ask the U.S. government to appoint an 'honest broker.' Mr. Martin Indyk, the chairman of the New Israel Fund's International Council, is not perceived as such by the Israeli public," the group's chairman, Ronen Shoval, wrote in a open letter to the American ambassador in Israel.
On the other end of the political spectrum, left-wing commentator M.J. Rosenberg criticized Indyk for his previous affiliation with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the huge Israel lobby juggernaut. Indyk's work for that lobby in the 1980s, Rosenberg argued, was yet further proof of "the simple fact that the United States has unambiguously taken Israel's side for decades."
Political wisdom has it that being attacked from both ends indicates that one's positions are safely in the center. But for Martin Indyk, it is also yet another sign of his conflicted image in the world of Middle East peacemaking: too pro-Israeli in the eyes of Israel's critics, and at the same time too tough on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for many Israelis.
Juggling personal and family connections with Israel has long been a challenge for Jewish negotiators and envoys dealing with Israel and the Middle East, as they came under attack not only from critics of Israel, but also from Israelis themselves. Indyk, when serving as ambassador to Israel, was called "Jew boy" by the late Israeli cabinet minister Rehavam Ze'evi. Other Jewish administration officials and diplomats have also suffered insults and accusations by Israeli officials who saw their criticism of Israeli policies as incompatible with their Jewish faith.
Indyk, who at the time warned Ze'evi that the last person who hurled anti-Semitic slurs at him in school received a punch in his face, views his ties to Israel as formative to his professional life. In his acceptance speech after being appointed special envoy July 29, Indyk spoke of his experience as a post-graduate student in Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur war, when a surprise military attack by Egypt and Syria against Israel made strong initial advances.
"In those dark days," he said as he turned to Secretary of State John Kerry, who was standing next to him, "I witnessed firsthand how one of your predecessors, Henry Kissinger, brokered a cease-fire that ended the war and paved the way for peace between Israel and Egypt."
Indyk spent part of the 1973 war volunteering in a kibbutz in Israel's southern region. In his 2009 book, "Innocent Abroad: An Intimate Account of American Peace Diplomacy in the Middle East," Indyk called his days in Israel during that war "a defining moment in my life."
At the time, Indyk said in a 2011 interview, he even considered immigrating to Israel.
Indyk did not make aliyah, but he maintained strong ties with Israel. He visits the country frequently as a board member of Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies, and is known to have close ties with top Israeli journalists and politicians. He has often said, especially when speaking to Jewish audiences, that he was first drawn to the Middle East "through my Jewish identity and my connection to Israel."
Indyk's life story sets him apart from American peace negotiators of the past. He was born in England, grew up in Australia and moved to the United States only after establishing himself as an academic and foreign relations expert in Sydney.
His first position in Washington was with AIPAC, where he served as deputy research director. In 1985 he took part in the pro- Israel lobby's first and only foray into the research world and became the founding director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a think tank focused on the region. The institute has since shifted away from its initial affiliation with AIPAC and no longer has formal ties to the lobby.
President Clinton brought Indyk, who advised him on Middle East issues during the presidential campaign, into his administration as director of Near Eastern affairs at the National Security Council, one day after Indyk received his American citizenship. In 1995 he was appointed ambassador to Israel, the first Jewish and the first foreign-born American representative posted there. Indyk served in Tel Aviv until September 1997 and made history once again in 2000, when he was appointed for another term as ambassador.
Working with the Israelis as ambassador at the height of peace negotiations with the Palestinians and with Syria made Indyk a controversial figure in the eyes of Israeli leaders. Former prime minister Ehud Barak was so appreciative of Indyk's work on the peace process that in an unusual move he asked Clinton to appoint Indyk to ambassador in Israel once again. But Netanyahu, when first elected prime minister, in 1996, sent word to Washington that he'd like to see Indyk replaced because he was regarded as too close to leaders of the Labor Party.
Colleagues and counterparts in the peace process believe it is Indyk's style more than his ideology that provoked strong feelings among Israelis. "He's not a peacenik, and he's also not a Likudnik," said an Israeli official who worked closely with Indyk in the past two decades. "He is a mainstream two-state solution guy."
Robert Danin, a former colleague at the State Department's Middle East team, said Indyk brings "an Australian bluntness" to his work. This quality, Danin believes, will allow the new negotiator to "cause some discomfort for both sides, which is something they need at times."
Gilad Sher, who served as chief negotiator in Barak's government, noted that Indyk's greatest advantage entering his new role is that "his learning curve is flat." Indyk, Sher said, worked on peace process issues continuously for two decades and will waste no time getting to know the parties and the issues.
Indyk's career in the world of Middle East policy has been compared at times with that of Dennis Ross, the former longtime top peace process negotiator who, like many others who have served on the American negotiating team, is also Jewish. Both Ross and Indyk have experienced firsthand the ups and downs of the peace process, and both have strong ties to Israel. When President Obama put together his national security team, he brought on board Ross, who had advised him during the campaign. Indyk, who was close to Hillary Rodham Clinton, remained in the think tank world, heading Brookings Institution's Saban Center for Middle East Policy, named after its main funder, Haim Saban, an Israeli American billionaire who has been a key contributor to the political careers of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Now it is Indyk's turn to take the front seat in the administration's efforts to advance the peace process. Former Israeli and American officials agree that Indyk could be more willing to apply pressure on Israel than Ross is. But a former American official stressed that Indyk "doesn't pull his punches" from either side and "will be there to challenge both leaders."
In a 2009 interview with a European Jewish website, Indyk tied his decision to take on a diplomatic career focusing on Israel to "that basic insecurity that is in the dark part of our hearts, that is a product of our history of thousands of years." He noted that his wish, ever since his days in Jerusalem during the Yom Kippur War of 1973, was to "play some role in trying to make Israel safe because it would make me safe."

Office Designs
Howdy fellas! Yesterday I took my brother into his office. In the morning when about to leave, his car tire burst and he was in a hurry so I had to take him. I was a bit surprised by my brother's office because honestly I never get there. His office is large and very modern. I'm interested to see other office design. This time I'll bring you to see the design of a web hosting office called Rackspace by Morgan Lovell. Do you want to see it? Let's look together!
This office has very large size in its building with a clean white color that is truly magnificent. Outward appearance office design is showing the rooms in it. From the outside this office consists of a visible glass lighting glowing from the inside. At the front of the outer wall of the office there is a large and clear corporate logo.
Like the other office, this office has the meeting room, kitchen, canteen, conference room, and the hallway. The entire room of the office has an attractive design and the different from the other office. This is seen in almost all of the design office. Look at an indoor meeting room that has no broad space. Meeting room has a minimalist design with furniture that is not too much. The table is accompanied by black chairs around it. In front of the chairs and table, there is a TV that is connected to a laptop. I think its function as a screen that can be viewed by all employees who carry out the meetings. Wallpaper is also very unique and funny. Do you like the design of this meeting room?
The office is comprised of three floors is indeed quite remarkable. Each floor has a room with the kind of design and function differently. I see there is a play area with a rocking chair shaped with a design that looks unique and comfortable. There is also a space large enough conference in an open area. This area is complemented by a big screen and a unique seat with white color.Read more »

BREAKING NEWS! George Zimmerman has been charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, says prosecutor Angela Corey.
Zimmerman has surrendered to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, his new lawyer, Mark O'Mara, told CNN legal analyst Mark NeJame. Martin, 17, was killed February 26 as he returned to his father's fiancee's house in Sanford, Florida, after picking up candy and an iced tea at a nearby convenience store. Zimmerman, a 28-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer, says he shot Martin in self-defense. The case has drawn comments from President Obama and the United Nations, led to protest marches in cities and campuses around the country, and sparked a nationwide debate about race in America and Florida's "stand your ground" law, which allows the use of deadly force by anyone who feels a reasonable threat of death or serious injury. Readings of the law are crucial to a prosecution, Conway said. The six weeks between Martin's death and the announcement that Zimmerman would face charges led critics to list Martin along civil rights martyrs slain in the pursuit of racial justice. Zimmerman's supporters have sought, in turn, to portray him as a symbol of an essential American character, the community protector who risks his own safety to help his neighbors. The news that Zimmerman would be charged came shortly after the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Martin family attorney called for the public to remain peaceful whatever the decision of the special prosecutor.

Since its first appearance in 2002, Hektor has been exhibiting internationally on several occasions, drawing a lot of attention from both the contemporary art and technology worlds. Hektor, the brainchild of artist Jurg Lehni, is a portable spray-paint output device for laptop computers that brings together graphics and artificial intelligence. Although consisting only of two motors, toothed belts, and a can holder, Hektor replicates the motion of a graffiti artist's hand, producing formally engaging work. In Hektor's rare live actions, one notices the contrast between the low-tech dimension of the mechanism and the high aesthetics of its production, which grants a poetic quality to its existence. This can be witnessed next Thursday at the New York's Swiss Institute, which will host a 6-hour event in which Hektor meets Dexter Sinister, a duo known for their just-in-time workshop that collapses design and printing production into an anti-corporate activist process. Hektor will create a series of wall paintings in the Swiss Institute gallery and other areas informed by the 'Lissajous curves', a term mathematician Jules Antoine coined in 1857 to describe the graph of the equations that define complex harmonic motion. In an evening reuniting the ild trio of machines, humans, and mathematics, a re-imagining of the present visual culture will thus take place through the timely collaboration of Hektor and Dexter Sinister. - Miguel Amado
Sousveillance Culture Panel
Sousveillance Culture panel at Conflux 2007 (NY), with Amy Alexander, Hasan Elahi, and Jill Magid, moderated by Marisa Olson
Saturday, September 15, 2007
2:30pm - 4:00pm
Luna Lounge
61 Metropolitan Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11211
Rhizome presents this panel, in conjunction with Conflux, New York's annual festival for contemporary psychogeography, the investigation of everyday urban life through emerging artistic, technological, and social practice. The panel centers on sousveillance, the practice of watching from below (sous-) rather than above (sur-). A diverse group of artists whose work engages surveillance will explore the cultural and political implications of sousveillance, which tends to be discussed as empowering when manifest as a "taking-back" of cameras or the rising-up of "little brother," but which also unfolds in an era of increased self-surveillance, encouraged by both the government and the culture of participatory and 'transparent' media.

Two works by HC Gilje
The following are two installation works by HC Gilje concerning networks of some shape or form. Both are interactive works however while the second employs the classic interactive paradigm (user -> interact -> system -> feedback), the first is an interactive system of computers, nodes, which interact with each other to form a collaborative composition.
Drift (images above, video below), sometimes called Drifter, is a twelve monitor audio-visual installation. Each monitor is a node in a wireless network chain:
12 nodes, each with a computer, flatscreen and speakers, are placed in a circle. The nodes are connected over a wireless network, but each node only relate to its neighbour: It knows when a image is coming and knows where to pass it on to. Images travel clockwise across the network. The images leave traces. The image and traces are processed in realtime individually on each node and a sound is generated from the video, based on a given frequency. There are 4 base frequencies for the sound distributed among the different nodes, creating chords.
Below is a video explaning how the work functions. [More....]

To mark the occasion of what would be John Cage's 95th birthday, WNYC has put together an amazing collection of audio and video from their archives. Video of seminal performances, interviews with the artist, as well as a few oddities including his appearance on the 1960s show 'I've Got a Secret' are posted along with writings by the composer. Cage collaborators including Joan LaBarbara, Meredith Monk, and Merce Cunningham also share their stories and insights into Cage as both a collaborator and friend. The festival airs on WNYC2 from September 5th at 12PM until 12:33PM September 6th, with video, audio, and textual documents available on their website. - Caitlin Jones
EarthSpeaker, Nocturnal Audio Sculptures
"Jeff Feddersen, author of EarthSpeaker, is an artist with a well rounded background, mainly specialised on the dynamics (nowadays pretty blended) between music and informatics. His favourite subjects of research are nature and the technologies developed around energetic sustainability. EarthSpeaker is a set of outdoor installations (sculptures) which interact with and within the environment by grabbing solar energy during daytime and releasing sound emissions from sunset on. Jeff's project is funded by the Wave Farm in Acra (New York), and the first prototype of EarthSpeaker was built in 2006 at Eyebeam Center labs. Thanks to his 'nocturnal audio sculptures', he seems to put up a sort of robotic representation of life-environment interaction and its seemingly simple cybernetic cycle. Just like the vegetal system, EarthSpeaker absorbs solar power thanks to the built-in solar panels and releases amplified VLF (very low frequency) sounds coming from outer space lightening and human generated waves (i.e.: geophones) by its own integrated speakers. A complete input/output cycle exploits the invisible and infinitesimal capabilities of our environment, redefining at the same time its semiotic borders through new representations of life." Tony Canonico, Neural.

From the artist's site: "These films use different geometric constructions, created using set mathematic patterns. These patterns merge into each other and are looped, creating a mesmeric and hypnotizing effect. The movement of forms creates a form of moving painting and draw heavily on the modernist presidents and principles of Structuralism and Minimalism, sharing links in style to the works of: Kandinski, Malevich and Mondrian."

Call a public meeting of cyclists with the express intention of launching a group. This is often best done around a local issue: e.g. the need for cycle parking in a new shopping development.
- Choose a meeting location which is reasonably small and welcoming. Some groups meet in a quiet pub, others meet in people's houses.
- Choose a time which people can attend without rushing back from work or college. Mid-week is generally better than weekends, after 5.30pm.
- Advertise your meeting by putting posters up in your local library, bike shops, community centers GP surgeries etc.
- Leave leaflets on bikes at stations, shopping centres, etc.
- Get in touch with any local recreational cycling groups, and ask them to mention your meeting at their next ride.
- Write to your local press, and if possible work it into a news story: 'Cycle campaign moves up a gear'.
- Contact sympathetic local organisations - green groups, Friends of the Earth, 20's Plenty groups etc - and ask if you can publicise your group at their meetings.
- Speak to Cycling UK and other national cycling organisations for help with contacting members in your area.
- Make the purpose, time and location of the meeting clear on any materials. Put a phone number (with voicemail) and an email address, so that people can get in touch with questions.

Since the birth of the Internet, people have been using search engines to find every genre of porn under the sun. "Hot young teen job interview gone right," "Hot young teen college babe professor gone wrong," you know how it goes. But when you use these search engines, there's always the risk of getting trackers, cookies, and—the worst—totally unwarranted safe-for-work results. That's why we're interested in Boodigo, a search engine specifically made for porn!
By filtering out icky Internet no-goodniks, such as unlicensed and illegal content, you can happily browse through hundreds of thousands of pages of T&A without a care in the world. People shouldn't be judging you for your pornography choices anyway; that's like calling someone a glutton based on how many Big Macs they've eaten.

Post subject: Movie Online: Interview with Mark
MoviesOnline: DID YOU REALLY SHARE A BEER WITH THAT DOG?
WAHLBERG: Yeah. We shared about 12 that day. It took a long time to do with a lot of different angles.
MoviesOnline: DID IT AFFECT HIS PERFORMANCE?
WAHLBERG: (Laughs) Not at all. The more beer he got, the better he got.
MoviesOnline: WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WAHLBERG: I actually didn't really swallow that much beer because we had other scenes to shoot that day. But he wouldn't consistently go and get the beer unless you consistently gave him half of each one.
MoviesOnline: WERE YOU A FAN OF THE BOOK?
WAHLBERG: I hadn't read the book before I read the script. We were actually going to make another movie. Me and Antoine (Fuqua) were attached to make another film with Paramount. My agent sent me this script and I read it and I said, 'Wow, Antoine, you've got to check this out.' Then I found out about the book after.
MoviesOnline: IT SEEMS LIKE THERE COULD BE A SEQUEL TO THIS. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO?
WAHLBERG: I certainly enjoyed making the character. This was the last movie that I made and so it's all very fresh in my head, but I've never done a sequel before. It would really depend. If the script was better than the first movie then it's worth considering, but other than that I don't know. Most sequels seem to be made for the sake of paychecks.
MoviesOnline: SPEAKING OF SEQUELS, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ANOTHER 'DEPARTED.' WHAT ABOUT DOING THAT?
WAHLBERG: Yeah. I mean, I said the same thing to them that I said to everyone else. If they can make it better than the first one, then sure. I spoke to Bill Monahan and Marty (Scorsese) about it and Bill has a really interesting take. I thought that it was really funny that I would be investigating the murder that I committed. That could go anywhere. So, like with 'The Italian Job,' for instance, we were going to try and make a sequel, but never really got the script where we were all really comfortable with it. So it really depends on the material and the time period. It would be another fun character to play.
MoviesOnline: WHAT WAS THE EXPERIENCE LIKE AT THE OSCARS THIS YEAR? WAS IT GREAT? DID YOU GO PARTY AND HAVE A GOOD TIME?
WAHLBERG: I did as much partying as I could. I was still home before 12. My kids are up really early in the morning and I don't want to deal with my daughter's energy while having a hangover. She's great, and that's a good reason to keep sober, but we went out and had dinner afterwards, and then we went to one party with Marty and everyone. I
heard Marty stayed out until like 6 in the morning. I wonder what that's like. I know he was with Leo and I know what that's like.
MoviesOnline: WAS IT FUN TO SEE MARTY WIN THAT NIGHT?
WAHLBERG: Yeah, and he certainly tried to downplay it like it wasn't that big of a deal, but I hadn't ever seen Marty that happy. So it was nice. Based on his body of work I would assume that he would have a house full of those things, but it's his first one. So to be a part of it was really fun.
MoviesOnline: WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BE NOMINATED?
WAHLBERG: Well, again, I was like Marty, I had never been nominated before. (NOTE: I don't think he means what he says here. Obviously Scorsese had been nominated before. What he may mean is that they were both winless going into the night.) There were talks of it once or twice before in my career and I had always played it off like it wasn't that big of a deal and then obviously when I got the phone call, it was a very big deal. I was able to call my parents and share the news with them. It was a fun time.
MoviesOnline: HOW DO YOU FEEL AS AN ARTIST WHO'S DONE ALL SORTS OF PROJECTS THAT ONLY THESE KINDS OF FILMS GET NOTICED FROM THE ACADEMY AND OTHERS DON'T?
WAHLBERG: It's fine. Whatever they choose to pick is up to them certainly. I get my one vote. I actually voted for Greg Kinnear instead of myself in the first go round, but it's fine. I never made a movie because I thought that I might have a chance to be nominated. I mean, being in a movie with Marty was just a chance to work with Marty and I thought that the script was great. I just tried to do something different and hope that people enjoy the films and see what happens. Anything else that happens after that is just icing on the cake.
MoviesOnline: WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN A SCRIPT THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING?
WAHLBERG: Well, right now I'm looking for the kinds of movies that I would go and see, the kinds of movies where I would see a TV spot and go, 'Wow. I want to see that.' Those are the movies that I think people want to see me in. I spent a good portion of my career making films, some films that I wasn't necessarily interested in, but getting an
opportunity to work with a certain filmmaker was certainly reason enough to make a choice. I felt like I had a lot to learn and what better way to do it than taking a crash course in working with accomplished filmmakers.
MoviesOnline: SO, BETWEEN 'SHOOTER' AND 'HUCKABEES,' WHERE DOES THAT FALL IN TERMS OF THE KIND OF MOVIE THAT YOU WANT TO SEE?
WAHLBERG: Well, 'Huckabees' is a different thing. I'm not sure if I would run out and see that opening weekend, but when a filmmaker like David O'Russell says, 'Hey, I'm going to write this part for you.' You say, 'Okay.' It's something that was completely original and you kind of take a leap of faith. 'Shooter' was just a no-brainer. Everything
about it made me want to make the movie. I loved the character and I loved the story. We were looking to do something more commercial so that we can be able to get other smaller and interesting movies made and I thought that it had the best of both worlds in it. It said something. It was a smart character driven piece and not just a shoot'em up film, which I liked a lot.
MoviesOnline: IS THAT A COMFORTABLE BARGAIN FOR YOU, ONE COMMERCIAL ONE AND THE ONES YOU FOSTER?
WAHLBERG: Yeah. I think that one and two are better. One for them and two for you, but it really depends because it's a juggling act and it's all about making the right choices and being in the position to make those choices.
MoviesOnline: DID YOU GET HURT AT ALL IN THIS?
WAHLBERG: No. Compared to 'Invincible,' it was nothing. It was a walk in the park, but getting down to be as thin as I was for the movie, that was difficult. Then of course there was all the mental prep, learning everything that snipers need to know in the short amount of time that we had. It was a lot of running and jumping in this one.
MoviesOnline: CAN YOU SHOOT LIKE THAT NOW?
WAHLBERG: Yeah. I could shoot pretty good before, but I had never gone through sniper training before, and yeah, I can hit a target at like 1,500 to 2,000 yards.
MoviesOnline: WHAT WAS YOUR TAKEON THE POLITICAL TONE OF THE FILM?
WAHLBERG: I thought that it was great. I thought that especially if young people want to come in and see me kick some ass and get a little information at the same time, it just kind of makes you wonder if these things are really possible. They go out and ask some questions and demand some answers and if you really want to go make some changes,
maybe it'll inspire people to want to go out there and vote and do something.
MoviesOnline: THIS HAD A BIT OF CONSPIRACY OVERTONES LIKE 'THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR.' ARE YOU INTO THAT SORT OF THING?
WAHLBERG: I am. I am, but that could be a dangerous game. David O'Russell has this other great idea. He wants to do this movie with me about this guy who Gianni Russowho was in 'The Godfather' and played the brother-in-law, the one came back and he hung out with Sinatra and with the Kennedys and all of this stuff. He has a whole other take on what really happened to Marilyn Monroe, JFK and Robert Kennedy. It's
crazy. So, I went to church today and I'm in a really good mood and giving people the benefit of the doubt, that people are honest and honorable, but ask me that again tomorrow or Tuesday and it might be different.
MoviesOnline: THIS IS A VERY VIOLENT R-RATED MOVIE. AS A FATHER, HOW OLD DO YOU THINK YOUR CHILDREN SHOULD BE TO SEE THIS FILM?
WAHLBERG: Well, it's easier to explain to my children than 'Boogie Nights.' That's for sure. I'm not going to make any more movies like that. At the right time we'll have to explain this and it'll be easier.
MoviesOnline: DOES FATHERHOOD PLAY INTO YOUR CHOICES?
WAHLBERG: Yeah, definitely. I love 'Boogie Nights' and I was really worried about what my mom thought and she got it, but my mom is old enough to understand that, A, it's a movie and that B, it's just a world that those people live in and they're just really nice people. But kids can be tough. High school can be like a lifetime and I don't want my daughter to be subject to ridicule because of the decisions that I made when I was twenty five and really wasn't thinking straight.
MoviesOnline: WHAT'S BEEN THE MOST SURPRISING THING ABOUT BEING A DAD FOR YOU?
WAHLBERG: Just when they smile or they give you a hug, the amount of love that you feel and the amount of satisfaction that you feel. It really just puts everything into perspective. Your priorities change immediately and I have a couple of more years focusing on me and obviously the older they get, the more attention that they're going to
need from me, but it's the best thing ever.
MoviesOnline: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT SHOOTING ON THE GLACIER? WERE YOU REALLY UP THERE FOR FOUR DAYS?
WAHLBERG: Yeah, we were up there forever. It was scary, and I don't like flying in helicopters either, and you had to chopper up and chopper down. When the weather came in, it was pretty scary.
MoviesOnline: WHAT PART OF BRITISH COLUMBIA WERE YOU IN?
WAHLBERG: We were at Whistler, 7,000 feet about Whistler.
MoviesOnline: WAS THAT THE HARDEST SCENE TO DO IN THE FILM, AND IF NOT, WHICH ONE WAS?
WAHLBERG: That was hard. Working and keeping a straight face with Levon Helm was extremely difficult and any time after getting shot up until when I get to Sarah's house was difficult. Playing up the pain makes you feel kind of silly always. It's like, 'What's going to be seen as real and what's not?' We didn't shoot it in order and we were kind of jumping around constantly and being able to go back and look at stuff and remember what level of pain I was in at the time or how close to death he was getting.
MoviesOnline: WHAT DRIVES YOUR CHARACTER? IS IT HIS MORAL INTEGRITY?
WAHLBERG: Yeah, honor. Honor and integrity definitely, and he won't compromise for anyone. I just love the character. I felt like I hadn't seen that in a while.
MoviesOnline: WHAT ABOUT OUTRAGE AT THE WAY THE SYSTEM IS BEING MISUSED?
WAHLBERG: Definitely, and I think that the audience can certainly relate which is why I saw men and women cheering almost uncontrollably when I shot Danny Glover and Ned Beatty. You should have seen the test screening. It was like, 'Yeah! F*cking kill him! Yes!' I ran out of the theater because I couldn't be there at the end, but wow, I can't wait to see it. I want to see it in like Times Square.
MoviesOnline: DO YOU THINK THERE IS A SENTIMENT THAT WE'RE FEELING A LITTLE SCREWED OVER BY OUR GOVERNMENT RIGHT NOW?
WAHLBERG: Oh, definitely, but that wasn't - it was great that it worked out like that, but it wasn't what we were really thinking about at the time. We were just like, 'Hey, this is a really interesting script.' We were going out to make a big commercial movie and we thought why not this one, but it's just like the Anna Nicole thing. Obviously, we shot
the movie months and months ago.
MoviesOnline: WAS THERE ANY DEBATE ABOUT THE LINE OF DIALOGUE THAT REFERRED TO ANNA NICOLE?
WAHLBERG: We didn't think so. It wasn't until like yesterday and the day before that we were getting people's reactions from it and at that point it was too late to take it out.
MoviesOnline: YOU HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH MICHAEL PENA IN THE FILM. WAS IT LIKE THAT FROM THE BEGINNING?
WAHLBERG: Yeah, we just clicked. We're going to play golf on Thursday. Spent a lot of golf time together. I really admire how committed he is to his work. It was a well-written part and a part that I would've loved to have played and that I would've chased five or six years ago. I thought that we were really lucky to get him because I know he's
already been in some great films in a short amount of time. I feel like I can take some of the credit for his success. He's gonna be a big star.
MoviesOnline: WERE YOU INVOLVED IN HIS CASTING?
WAHLBERG: Well, we've all - they certainly asked me what my opinion was and we certainly read with a bunch of people. I just wanted the best person for the part. I wanted the best possible chemistry between myself and whoever was going to be in the part. We read with a bunch of people and he just nailed it and everyone felt that strongly about him
being the guy.
MoviesOnline: 'ENTOURAGE' IS MORE POPULAR THAN IT'S EVER BEEN. HOW INVOLVED ARE YOU WITH THE SHOW?
WAHLBERG: Well, I've been off doing my own thing. If those guys need my help, then they're screwed. They're so talented and so it's really just about putting the right pieces of the puzzle together and kind of between us and HBO kind of getting them to where they needed to be and now they're off on their own. I can't wait. I don't even want to see the dailies anymore. I want to see it on Sunday night like everyone else.
MoviesOnline: ARE YOU SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH IT'S CAUGHT ON?
WAHLBERG: No. We thought that it was going to be a big hit. We always thought that especially with it being on HBO. Initially when I told people about the idea they thought that it sounded like some silly MTV reality show. I was like, 'No. It'll be a traditional sitcom about four guys.' There's really a guy in the group that everyone can relate to
and with HBO we were able to take our time and develop it. The people that we got involved in the show are just super talented, and so it's just a matter of allowing them to do their thing.
MoviesOnline: THE SHOW CAME FROM YOUR STORIES COMING UP, AND ARE YOU NOW SEEING THEM HAVE THEIR OWN STORIES?
WAHLBERG: They all have their own stories. Kevin Connolly is going crazy right now. He bought some $2 million house and he's having all these problems with construction and all this s**t. It's so funny, but they're all doing great and they're all enjoying it.
MoviesOnline: YOUR CHARACTER IN 'THE DEPARTED' WAS A SUPPORTING ROLE. DO YOU HAVE ANY RESERVATIONS ABOUT MAKING HIM THE LEAD IN THE SEQUEL?
WAHLBERG: No. I mean, look, you're working with Marty Scorsese and Bill Monahan again. If the script is really strong, they'll bring in someone like De Niro to play a corrupt cop or congressman or senator. No, I don't have any problem with that.
MoviesOnline: WHAT IF MARTY DECIDED NOT TO DIRECT IT AND SOMEONE ELSE CAME IN?
WAHLBERG: Like a first time video director? F*ck. Let me direct it.
MoviesOnline: DO YOU THINK MARTY WOULD HAVE TO BE THERE?
WAHLBERG: Yeah. Look, I think that would be the smart road to go. Me and Marty are doing a TV show as well on HBO and so I think that we can get Marty back.
MoviesOnline: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE TV SHOW?
WAHLBERG: It's going to be set in Atlantic City. It's about the mob controlling Atlantic City in the early years, the '60's and '70's. Nick Pileggi is going to be writing along with someone possibly from 'The Sopranos' writing team. Marty is going to be executive producing it. It'll be a series on HBO.
MoviesOnline: HOW LONG BEFORE THAT GETS GOING?
WAHLBERG: It's all kind of happening. Marty is really jazzed about it and HBO is obviously thrilled with the idea of working with him. So I think that in the next couple of weeks we're going to sit down again.
MoviesOnline: IS THERE A TITLE?
WAHLBERG: Not yet, no.
MoviesOnline: IF YOU HAD EXHAUSTED ALL LEGAL MEANS TO SOLVE A PROBLEM, DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF IT YOURSELF? I'M NOT ASKING IF YOU WOULD KILL SOMEONE.
WAHLBERG: Again, it's Sunday. That's a Wednesday question. But no, I would hate to be put in a situation where I had to do something like that. God forbid, if something happened to my children or something happened to someone who couldn't defend themselves, I don't think that I would be that quick to be reasonable or be so forgiving, but that's what I'm supposed to do and that's what I practice.
MoviesOnline: THIS BEING LENT, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU'VE GIVEN UP?
WAHLBERG: Yeah, no meat on Fridays and I haven't had any beer, but I don't necessarily try to give things up as opposed to focus on doing better. Being more patient, being more generous, being more honest. Those are the things that I try to do and I remind myself of those things everyday when I say my prayers.
MoviesOnline: SO YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANY FILMS SINCE 'SHOOTER.' WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU IN THE FUTURE?
WAHLBERG: Well, hopefully I'm going to be starting this boxing movie in the summertime playing Irish Mickey Ward who was a boxer from Lowell, Massachusetts and Matt Damon is going to play his brother.
MoviesOnline: ARE YOU READY TO GET HIT?
WAHLBERG: I know. On paper it sounds really good and then two weeks into shooting I'm wanting my mommy.
MoviesOnline: YOU REALLY CHALLENGE YOURSELF PHYSICALLY WITH THESE ROLES. DO YOU WANT TO KEEP DOING THAT?
WAHLBERG: Well, I promised my trainer who's my sparring partner that this would be the only boxing movie I did. I've been kicking his ass everyday, but certainly while I can, I want to do that. I always wanted to be an athlete and so it was a dream to be able to put on an NFL uniform and get out there and play a champion without actually having to spend all the hours in the ring and take all the hits that you have to take. It's a dream for sure.
