An Insight to the Different yet Equally Colorful Personalities of Marco Polo and Kublai Khan through Invisible Cities, a Book by Calvino
It’s hard to put a label on this surreal Calvino masterpiece. Is it prose? Poetry? A novella? A travel guide maybe? The story is classified as a fictional novel but the verbiage and content prove that this is more than just that. Although Marco Polo and Kublai Khan existed as historical figures, Invisible cites is not a wor...

Senator: Rescind pay raises
WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Rob Portman is urging President Obama to rescind a recent executive order granting pay increases to Congress and other federal officials, saying the move doesn't jibe with the country's debt crisis.
Obama signed an executive order last week that will lift a ban on pay freezes for federal employees.
Rank-and-file members of Congress would receive a $900 bump next year — up from $174,000. Congressional leaders will receive a slightly higher raise, with the House speaker receiving a $1,100 increase to $224,600. The top two Senate leaders will have pay rise $1,000, to $194,400.
Vice President Joe Biden, meanwhile, will have his pay increase from $225,521 last year to $231,900 when his raise goes into effect March 27.
But the pat on the back occurred as a surprise to some, given the lack of progress all year toward a deal to head off the fiscal crisis — which includes $600 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts. Even if that is resolved, Washington has still done relatively little to address the more than $16 trillion debt.

Homeowners should have more chance of making successful claims for drought damage to their property later this year, providing new legislation comes into force as planned.
Reforms to existing rules will see the sum paid by homeowners into the ‘natural catastrophe’ pot – currently around €8 a year – rise to approximately €10, although the figure will vary from policy to policy.
At the same time, Météo-France is changing its reporting standards to give a more precise description of drought conditions.
This is a key factor in deciding if a ‘natural catastrophe’ can be declared in communes, which opens the door for claims.
Homeowners can make insurance claims only after a decree declaring a catastrophe naturelle (natural disaster) in their area has been issued.
Report criticised for contradictions
Sandra Marsaud, MP for the government’s Renaissance party who represents Charente, co-wrote a report on the subject with members of the Green party, but did not vote for their subsequent bill.
It passed in a nearly empty chamber in April.
“The Green’s proposal is too badly written and contains too many contradictions, and has now entered a parliamentary shuffle from which it will probably not emerge,” Ms Marsaud told The Connexion.
“However, a month before, the government published an ordinance, which could be converted into law by parliament in the summer. The decrees bringing it into force should follow soon after.”
Further report requested by PM deemed as time-wasting
Shortly after this, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne appointed another MP, Vincent Ledoux, to write a further report on the subject.
This dismayed groups campaigning for drought insurance reforms, who said vital time was being lost.
Six organisations, led by Lorraine Cata Sécheresse, pointed to six proposed law changes and reports since a reform was first proposed in 2020 by Senator Nicole Bonnefoy.
This was passed by the Senate but not considered by MPs.
“Why do we need a new report?” they asked. “Even so, we are prepared to work quickly with Mr Ledoux if he thinks he can do better than all the people who have worked on the subject before him.”
Insurance company reforms could favour claimants
Key features of the ordinance, which will be included in the Ledoux report, are stricter regulation of insurance assessors, the removal of a distinction between cosmetic and structural damage, and the reform of the natural catastrophe funding pot.
Cracks to properties are usually caused when the clay soil that houses are built on shrinks during droughts, and then swells when it rains.
At the moment, many victims end up dissatisfied with the insurance assessor’s report, and have to hire their own experts to support their claim before challenging the insurance company.
Under the new ordinance, assessors will have to receive formal training, be registered, and be held personally responsible, with possible fines, if their assessment is proved wrong.
Insurance firms had fought for a distinction to be made between ‘cosmetic’ cracks and those causing structural damage, but Ms Marsaud said this has been rejected.
Météo-France change natural catastrophe data
She added that the changes being made by Météo-France to how they measure the impact of drought were at least as important as the legal process.
“In order to get a natural catastrophe declaration, your mayor must ask the prefecture, and the prefecture then refers the request to a national committee,” she said.
“It uses data from Météo-France, and Météo-France has recognised that its standards, of looking at 8km squares, satellite measurements and ground stations which can be a long way away, are not precise enough. They are now moving to 1.5km squares.”
Rainfall figures over one drought month and the two months preceding it are averaged, and then compared to the last 50 years to see if the drought enters the ‘natural catastrophe’ framework.
Tangible improvements expected soon
Ms Marsaud said that at least 10 million houses in France are potentially at risk from drought-related cracks.
“It is not just modern houses,” she said. “There have been some cases in isolated regions of the Sarthe, for example, where old houses, with thick stone walls, have been damaged too.”
Ms Marsaud insisted there was cross-party support for improvements to existing legislation.
“It is something that the administration has been working on for years, across all three ministries concerned – environment, finance and interior – so I am confident we will soon see tangible improvements.”

INTERNATIONAL LAUNCH: Mercedes-AMG GT R is a star of engineering and a project of passion
Porsche’s 911 GT3 dominates the big end of track-day town and its adherents are unshakeable. AMG shot its GT and GT S straight at the heart of the 911, now it is going after the 911 GT3 with the GT R which is due in SA in the second quarter of 2017.
And its aim has been surgically precise. It’s a solidly stiff road car but an incandescent track car that sounds like an entire Nascar field.
Porsche used to have this market all to itself. You could spend a bit less and get a BMW M3 of one sort or another or spend a bit more for a near-pure track car, but to get something you were happy driving home again, you had to get a 911 GT3.
You don’t have to get a 911 GT3 anymore. In fact, you’d be almost legally culpable if you didn’t have a drive of one of these things before you turned up at Porsche with a cheque.
The GT R takes everything from the GT and GT S programmes and makes it stronger, lighter, more powerful and more precise. Everything from a 57mm stretch in width to how it steers to how it bites at the road to how it makes the airflow massage, it has all been changed. And it’s all been changed to make it go faster, everywhere, all the time.
It’s not hard to tell this one was a passion project at AMG, which brought its GT racing engineers and aerodynamicists into play right from the start. Everybody from boss Tobias Moers to the lowliest apprentice has been asked for their ideas to make the GT S faster and too many dinners were left cooling on family tables as they sorted through them and nutted out the details.
Of course, AMG didn’t neglect the engine. The dry-sumped 4.0l twin turbo V8 has 430kW of power and 700Nm of torque, which sprint it to 100km/h in 3.6 seconds.
That’s only a tenth quicker than the GT S (and 0.2 seconds slower than the family man’s E63 S) but the real reason the GT R exists is that this car is more than 20 seconds faster than the GT S around the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife circuit. With an independent German magazine clocking 7:10.9, it’s the new holder of the production road car record.
That doesn’t happen with just a bit more power. It happens with a bit more everything.
They’ve taken out weight with things like carbon fibre front wings, propshaft and the torque tube to the rear-mounted transaxle, but they’ve also put weight back in with rear-wheel steering and a host of carbon fibre reinforcements, so the net gain for the 1,555kg car is only 15kg.
Then there is the stance, which is wider by about 5cm at both ends, sitting on new coilover springs and dampers, with custom-developed settings, plus a cool nine-step adjustable traction control, which only works in the Race mode when the skid-control is turned off.
Then the aero coves joined in, adding a flat, carbon fibre undertray behind the fixed splitter that drops down 40mm to create a venturi effect above 80km/h in Race mode (or 120km/h in girlier modes). It reduces the front end’s lift by 40kg at 240km/h, though its work is added to by a set of louvres that open and close to change the car’s downforce levels to add grip in corners and reduce drag on straights.
There’s also a massive double diffuser at the back; the primary job is to use underfloor air to suck the back end onto the ground, while the second part borrows an idea from the Braun Formula 1 team to do the same thing with redirected radiator-cooling air. There’s also an adjustable rear wing and besides all of these pieces reducing lift all over the car (don’t believe anybody who tells you they give the GT R "downforce" because they don’t), they actually reduce its overall drag.
It gets bigger boots, with 275/35 ZR19 front and 325/30 ZR20 rear tyres, while implausibly light alloy wheels and carbon ceramic anchors are both optional and save another 4kg of unsprung mass per corner.
Yes, this car is the five-alarm chilli of the AMG world and, combined with the E63 it’s just launched, it clearly represents a turning point for a company that could have easily slipped into building profit-rich, mildly warm versions of all the Mercedes-Benz production cars and SUVs.
This is AMG at its most focused, more surgical than it has ever been, producing a car that’s neither the most expensive nor the most powerful it’s ever made, but easily the most precisely targeted.
It has all the usual built-in multimedia niceties of the stock GT, including navigation, a Burmeister sound system, air conditioning, a head-up display, connectivity for smartphones and a seat choice between electric sports seats and lighter manually operated hard-core sports seats.
There’s even a track pack, with a half-cage behind the front seats (which can be painted in the body’s colour), a four-point harness and even stickier tyres.
The thing is, it’s hard to know which of these areas stands out the most.
It’s obvious while it’s sitting still, though. Static, the star is the engine and, more specifically, how all that burnt air works its way out the back.
It’s loud from the inside, louder from the outside and it’s loud in a way that makes the very word "loud" seem inadequate. And that’s in the default start-up mode (Sport, incidentally).
It’s deep, it rumbles, it has a slightly odd, off-beat burble to it and the tacho needle responds to the throttle like someone jumped on the other end of it.
For all that, the engine is perhaps the least fiddled bit of the car. The modular V8 is dry-sumped, like it is in the GT, but runs different mapping, a slightly higher compression ratio and more turbo boost (up to 1.35 bar) to thump out an extra 55kW. To give it more agility, the dual-mass flywheel is 0.7kg lighter,
The seven-speed dual-clutch gets a taller first gear, a shorter seventh and a shorter final-drive ratio, while the rear diff is now so tight that ours graunched on full-lock turns.
The critical new addition, overlooked in favour of sexier aero talk, is the active rear-wheel steering, governed by a massive electric motor on each wheel and moving the toe angle up to 1.5°, with no physical connection to the steering wheel whatsoever. There are also uniball bearings on the rear, which don’t change their toe angle under hard cornering and are harder wearing than wishbone bushes.
So that’s just scratching the surface of what AMG has done to turn the twitchy GT S into the brilliant GT R. And it is brilliant.
The Black Series was the most precise of the old SLS coupes and it’s the same here. You have to put a lot of effort into driving a GT S quickly, but you get more reward, for the same effort, in the GT R. It’s also now just fast enough that you physically feel like you’ve had a workout after an afternoon of fast lappery.
How fast is it? Realistically, it’s lets-sit-down-and-recalibrate fast. It’s properly fast. It’s scorchingly fast. It’s not sneaky fast. It’s not sneaky anything.
Definitely not the kind of car that flies under the radar (the noise alone takes care of that), the GT R succeeds both on sheer speed on a circuit and it delivers a huge leap on giving the driver an experience to soak up and enjoy.
It starts, as every AMG does, with the engine note. The titanium exhaust turns its work into something that, in Sport+ or Race mode (or when you just push the Loudenator button) is so loud that just five of the things together would frighten off an alien invasion.
It’s an astonishingly brutal noise that is deeper than anything of just four litres has a right to be, yet rich, thick and carries an underlying sophistication to it. Then you lift off or brake and downshift and the pops and crackles are so exaggerated they make the just-launched, very loud E63 seem like it’s scrunching up a bit of paper by comparison.
And it matches that theatre with epic performance. Sure, 3.6 seconds to 100km/h is only a tenth quicker than the stock one, but that’s missing the point.
It’s belligerently flexible, with the torque peak hitting at only 1,900r/min and it’s belligerently loud while doing it. If it’s not just Porsches it’s chasing, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston are all incapable of making noise like this.
If you’ve driven 50m and still overlook just how much more precise the car is, then you’ve got no business driving it. It’s wasted on you.
The new carbon fibre braces, joining the underbody sides to the torque tube, give it an extra 7% of torsional rigidity. The torque tube itself adds more rigidity, so do a host of other braces. And the car is just astonishingly accurate now.
Too accurate, to be fair, on public roads. We found wet roads and mud all over the mountain passes of the Algarve in Portugal and the ride was at least firm in every mode, with the car snapping into wheelspin over muddy patches even in fifth or sixth gear with modest throttle inputs and little suspension compliance to help out.
On really bad roads, well, it might be just too hard for some people.
Where the GT S’s steering feedback suffers from its cab-rearward stance, the GT R is pin sharp and more intuitive. It still slides and it still runs out of grip, but it’s phenomenally easy to control, even with the traction control turned off completely.
To be safe, you can run it in Sport+ or in Race with the skid-control either on or in Sport mode. That way you keep some traction control plus some skid-control when the car starts to slide.
The fun way is to attack it in Race with the skid-control off all the way (hold the button down for five seconds), then you control the slides with your feet and hands and you control the traction control with the unmistakable bright yellow knob beneath the air vents.
It will light up as you turn it (with a mirror version in the dash display, in case you missed it) and it will light up the rear tyres more as you turn it down to off. There are nine stages, with the first for wet driving, the last for off and then there’s everything in between.
The whole package adds up to a machine that’s a joy to drive, all the time. You attack corners deeper and deeper under brakes because it bites and bites and bites.
You fiddle with the front end in fast and slow corners because it will dive hard for the apex even if you’ve still got a rude amount of friction squeezing the brake calipers together.
And you jump on the throttle harder and earlier, every lap, because the rear end (which has 52.7% of the weight) is simply accepting all the power you’re giving it and punching the car forward, harder and harder.
It works the other way, too, with an innate ability to pivot around the centre of its axis that’s highly sought after and rarely found, along with responding to throttle lift-offs sharply and precisely to bring the nose closer to the apex on both fast and slow bends.
It’s also almost infinitely adjustable in a corner and you can drive it on understeer or oversteer, you can drive it leaning on the back wheels or the front and you can fling it into high-speed four-wheel drifts at will, even over sharp camber changes and crests.
It is equally happy and able to drive it cleanly to set lap times or loosely to hang out and have a blast and it is more accurate to the touch than any Benz-badged road car in history.
At one point, with the stickier boots on, we were emerging onto Portimao’s front straight at 200km/h and braking at the end at well over 290. Sure, it can slide, buck and dance over bumps and hard cornering, but it leaves you with the unshakable impression that it’s dancing to the driver’s tune and the driver’s tune alone.
There will be a day when it lines up head to head against the 911 GT3 and even the GT3 RS and the McLaren 570S, but there are plenty of reasons to like it, even in that company.
That, and it’s also front-engined and rear-drive and happy to slide. And that never hurts.

Art Farm Fence is semi-permanent fence decorations; a collaboration between Andrew Ringler and Alyssa Ringler. The project was created in response to an open call for art from the Somerville Arts Council. The Arts Council wanted work installed on the fence that encloses the future site of the Somerville ArtFarm. Art Farm Fence embraces the concept of an urban farm. The idea of an urban farm is the mixing of the human-built city, with that of farming, nature and food. We decided to laser cut fruits and vegetables out of Plexiglass because it embraces this contrast: that of the manufactured plastic with that of fruits and vegetables. We installed over one hundred over-sized Plexiglass fruits and vegetables on the fence surrounding the farm. We also installed large Art Farm signs and informational plaques at four locations surrounding the space.
Plexiglass comes in many colors, so we were able to create a diversity of fruit and vegetables. Plexiglass was purchased locally from J Freeman, Andrew did all of the digital prep-work and laser cutting. Alyssa worked from her home in New York City doing the majority of the illustrative work and design of the fruits, vegetables and signage. We included a selection of highly recognizable locally grown fruits and vegetables: blueberries, bok choy, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, corn, green/orange/red/yellow bell peppers, pears, pumpkins and strawberries.
Some inspirations for the project were Beth Galston’s Color Walk (Arizona installation by a Somerville artist) and Claudia Ravaschiere and Michael Moss’s Shimmer currently installed on the Congress St. Bridge in Boston.
This project was funded by the Somerville Arts Council.

Joe Biden should run for president in 2024. But if he decides against it for whatever reason, and the Democrats want a serious shot at retaining the White House, Jon Stewart should run on the Democratic ticket instead.
Yes, that’s right: Jon Stewart, the TV personality, podcaster, comedian. The 5’ 7” former host of The Daily Show.
To get the “seriousness” question out of the way right off the top: Stewart’s definition of being an entertainer has him wrestling with the kind of big, serious topics that actual politicians specialize in avoiding. He spends his time recording an AppleTV show and podcast interview show on policy issues such as abortion, climate change, gun control, misinformation, modern monetary theory and other wonky-current topics, with the occasional Judd Apatow and Mark Cuban appearance thrown in for gloss.
So he’s clearly engaged enough for the job. But the bigger reason is that he’s a better fit than most politicians for what modern politics has become.
The 2024 presidential race is guaranteed to be a carnival, waged 8 years after former President Donald Trump blew up the whole idea of “normal,” and four years after a Covid-shadowed, conspiracy-fest of a campaign. Stewart is not just one of our most wildly popular comedians: His years hosting the Comedy Central’s Daily Show made him one of the effective communicators in public life. He’s living a fairly low-key existence, and using his multiplatform showbiz skills to advocate for issues he cares about.
Is this a real possibility? Maybe not. But it’s certainly on people’s minds. You could tell something was in the water at the recent Mark Twain Awards show on PBS. Steve Colbert, Dave Chappelle and Pete Davidson all raised the prospect of Stewart running for the White House in their tributes to Stewart, this year’s winner of Twain Prize for American Humor. All did so with a requisite punch line, but in watching it you can’t help but think they know something the rest of us aren’t yet in on.
Chappelle said, “I wish that you would run for president, but I imagine that would be hard for a coke guy to do.” Davidson added that Stewart “is such an exceptional person that he really could be president tomorrow, but is too smart to do so.” And Colbert is worth quoting at length, because it’s pretty darn funny:
“Of course Jon is a brilliant comedian. But his close friends know that Jon’s true passion is recreational anxiety. It’s his superpower. Instead of being bitten by a radioactive spider, Jon was bitten by a clinically depressed squirrel. But that, that is why he is the perfect person to publicly worry about the future of our democracy. Why so many people think he should run for president. And I get it. He’s got a lot in common with Bill Clinton. A keen intelligence. The Veganism. Rapid Aging.”
And no, Stewart’s superpower isn’t really his anxiety. It’s his internationally renowned sense of humor, and his ability to create a sense of direct connection with the people he’s talking to. It’s the shared sense of collective outrage among the non-insurrectionist-supporting America. We know this is absurd, he conveys when he talks about current events. But his true message isn’t just the absurdity. It’s the “we” — the sense of shared values. That’s the heart of any successful run.
Trump turned an entertainment career into a political one not by growing into the moment, but by dragging politics further into the zone of entertainment. Since then, if anything, he’s been one-upped by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a professional comedian and television star who played a president on TV, and, in face of the brutal Russian onslaught, has parlayed that deftly into a real-life role as one of the world’s most admired and effective leaders. Increasingly, being TV-savvy isn’t just a bonus for a world leader. It’s a core requirement.
A recent very popular Reddit thread also speculated on who should run for president in 2024 and Stewart was widely mentioned. And it’s clearly a topic Stewart has thought about. He told Kara Swisher this spring, “Oh god, how could you not?” while joking about seizing the wheel from a drunk driver when asked if he was thinking about running for office. There was humor in his voice when Swisher first broached the topic, but then Stewart settled into seriousness when talking about the fundraising and the absurd mechanics in political campaigns before concluding with: “sometimes I feel like I can be more effective on the outside than on the inside.” I read “sometimes” as the operative phrase on the topic. He’s obviously been running the traps on a pivot to politics.
If Stewart ran for president, could he reach a wide swath of Americans? Stewart is known as a liberal, but his biggest cause has been deeply patriotic, and very nonpartisan: He has been the most profoundly effective and powerful engine behind efforts to provide support to the 9/11 first responders and victims. That effort has grown into a fight to provide benefits and supports for U.S. veterans who suffer from exposure to the toxic effects of burn pits while deployed overseas. He’s famous for trying to help firefighters, police and veterans, a generally right-leaning bunch. That’s one hell of a base to run on.
He’s also a truly gifted public speaker who can break down our most complicated political debates into commonsense arguments for effective policy. Watch his 2019 congressional testimony on behalf of 9/11 responders. The 5000-plus comments on the YouTube link to his appearance are near unanimously positive. One commentator said: “Every single word measured. Every single sentence short, and to the point. Every point made hit with devastating accuracy. Every sentiment genuinely felt. No bull, no waffle, no attempt at even handedness. Integrity. Passion, articulation. One of the single greatest speeches I have ever heard.”
He’s also great at political rallies, as evidenced by his eminently viewable and hilarious “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear” held on the National Mall in 2010. An estimated 215,000 “people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat” (according to the rally website) turned up to watch Colbert and a range of musicians in what was intended to be a spoof of Glenn Beck’s “Rally to Restore Honor” but morphed into a heartfelt call for a more constructive and less vitriolic political dialogue.
But perhaps the most important reason for the Democrats to consider Stewart is who he’d be running against.
Let’s take a look at which Republicans might run in 2024. Trump may run; Stewart has far more TV experience and is plainly much smarter, with more agility before crowds. Trump’ go-to show of strength has been his ability to pull thousands for his political rallies because they are viewed as entertainment by his supporters. A Stewart rally would be a road show of the most hilarious and civic-minded entertainers known today. And on a debate stage? Stewart would never let Trump get away with his vague policy-thin repetitious platitudes and harangues. Game, set, match.
Florida Gov. Ron Desantis and former VIce President Mike Pence seem like they are running. Stewart would just wood-chip right through those two stiff-as-a-board speakers.
There’s a very good chance that the most popular, and most dangerous Republican candidate would be Tucker Carlson. Carlson helms the most widely watched primetime show and news reports over the years continue to raise his candidacy as a real possibility. Jonah Goldberg, who worked at the Weekly Standard in the mid-90’s with Carlson (I was there too), told Swisher’s Sway podcast that he thinks “Tucker smells the opportunity to be the new Pat Buchanan of the right. And that means running for office at some point. And he would be good as a candidate.”
If Carlson does run in 2024, his broad name recognition, demagogic gifts and deep support among Fox viewers could make him the nominee. His years of TV experience would make him a formidable challenge for any Democratic opponent. As a close student and avid fan of Daily Show episodes, I would think that a Tucker Carlson run would be like a red cape waved in front of Stewart. Carlson’s bloviating fetishization of nationalist and autocratic tendencies seems like a boil that Stewart’s comic umbrage could most effectively lance.
Carlson and Stewart famously tangled on a 2004 “Crossfire” episode where Stewart was invited on to talk about a book he wrote and ended up hilariously castigating Carlson and Paul Begala, the other “Crossfire” host, on the damage their fake oppositionality and incessant fire-starting was doing to America. It wasn’t just great TV, it was a snapshot of what the future could hold: a presidential race where America’s most watchable and admired television personalities, albeit with polar opposite audiences, battle it out over the future of the world.
In the spring podcast interview with Swisher, Stewart seemed shocked by the prospect that Carlson could be a candidate for president in the 2024 cycle. His response: a deadly serious, “Oh Jesus. Don’t ever say — that’s just not even…” The podcast closed with Stewart saying that Carlson as a potential presidential candidate was “terrible” and was “bumming me out.”
On Thursday, at the opening event for the new media company Semafor, Ben Smith pushed Carlson on whether he would run for president. Carlson brushed him off, which is exactly what every presidential candidate is supposed to do at this stage of the political cycle.
If Biden doesn’t run, Stewart would start with a massive name ID advantage over any other Democrat and a vast legion of Daily Show viewers. The show ended 6 years ago, but Trump’s jump from TV to the White House has taught that viewers — even of a declining reality series — can be committed voters. By that measure, Stewart starts off better positioned than nearly anyone else in the Democratic field from the start.
He could do this — and if Carlson runs, he may feel like he has no choice.

With the recession in full swing, it's time to look at how the arts and entertainment industry is coping, and how various sectors plan to keep their audiences in the months ahead. This is the fifth story in a series.
Tough economic times are proving to be box-office gold for the movie industry, especially in Canada.
Last year's worldwide movie grosses set a record at $28.1 billion (all figures U.S.). And homegrown audiences are helping lead the charge.
"It speaks to the fact that during these difficult economic times, people need escapism now more than ever and going to the movies is very affordable escapism," says Pat Marshall, vice-president of Cineplex Entertainment, the country's largest movie exhibitor.
Recent figures from Rentrak, which charts entertainment industry numbers, show a healthy 14.85 per cent increase in North American box office this year over last, with the figure for Canada at 15.5 per cent.
Global ticket sales, meanwhile, are up 12 per cent over last year.
Cineplex itself notched record gains in 2008, with profits up 30.6 per cent to $34.6 million.
While others in the business world are hunkering down in the midst of the recession, Cineplex just spent $8 million to expand its theatre complex at Fairview Mall – its first such move in Toronto in more than a decade – and announced plans to open a 10,000-square-foot entertainment centre this summer as part of its revamped SilverCity Newmarket Cinemas location.
Cineplex has expanded its audience base by diversifying its product beyond movies, by providing filmed live performances of rock concerts, sporting events, ballet and New York's Metropolitan Opera.
Perhaps an indication that opera lovers find going to the local multiplex a frugal alternative to a trip to New York, screenings of the Met's operas have proven so popular that there will be a Sunday, May 3 screening of Madama Butterfly, expanding from the usual Saturday-afternoon opera screenings because of the demand for tickets.
The success of a recent Tragically Hip concert broadcast live in theatres across Canada is a sign that more music shows will be coming in the future, Marshall said.
Marshall also noted that with more than a dozen 3-D film projects in the works – including Canadian filmmaker James Cameron's Avatar set to open in December – this will be a huge year for the in-your-face technology.
At the other end of the scale, the independent Kingsway, Revue and Bloor theatres are also maintaining a steady flow of black ink despite economic worries.
After several years of sitting dark, the Kingsway, at 3030 Bloor St. W., reopened Jan. 3 with a big investment in renovations, just as the recession started to accelerate.
"We're doing very well and not because we're operating as a $3 discount rep theatre," manager Rui Pereira said. "We charge $10 and, although attendance still depends on the quality of the movie, people in this neighbourhood are willing to pay almost as much as the $12.95 they would pay at the Queensway."
Distributors are taking notice. The Kingsway is doing so well with second-run releases like last weekend's Slumdog Millionaire and One Week double bill, that on Friday it will become the first single-screen venue since the Eglinton Theatre closed in 2003 to open a major first-run release (The Soloist).
"We're seeing fairly stable attendance and revenue, which is shocking, actually," said Tim Bourgette, manager of the Revue Cinema at 400 Roncesvalles Ave. "We're a bit surprised, with all the doom and gloom in the media, that we're not experiencing more bumps in the road."
At the Bloor Cinema, 506 Bloor St. W., the largest single-screen auditorium in the city with 850 seats, manager Robin Sharp says the recession is proving to be a good time to grow the business and finance renovations.
"Our business has gone up as the economy has gotten worse," he said.
HOLLYWOOD BANKING ON THESE RECESSION-PROOF BLOCKBUSTERS
Movie critic Peter Howell lists his Top 10 blockbusters to watch for between now and Dec. 31:
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (June 24): That's quite a handle, when all you really need to know is that this is Transformers 2, wherein giant robots and puny humans (led by Shia LaBeouf) blow things up real good while working out their differences.

In the midst of drug test failures, missed weights, cancelled main events, UFC 183 is upon us. Headlined by Anderson Silva and Nick Diaz, the card carries on a long, but not always fruitful tradition of Super Bowl weekend shows for the UFC.
Both Silva and Diaz have missed well over a year of action in time where the UFC is grasping to collect anyone with name value to revive their brand. Along with the aforementioned Silva and Diaz, Georges St-Pierre, Cain Velasquez and many others missed all of 2014, making it the worst PPV year for UFC since before the Ultimate Fighter era.
Silva is heavily favored in the bout, as he could have easily contended at light heavyweight during (and after) his prime years. Nick Diaz has competed at lightweight, but often jumped between there, welterweight, and catchweight bouts, but has succeded against strikers at all weights.
Silva on the other hand has only struggled against wrestlers in his UFC career, and he’s in little to no danger of having a double leg take down shot on him tonight. Likewise for Diaz, who has shown an inability to defend a double leg takedown. A stand up battle has been advertised between these two, and by all accounts should deliver.
The co-main event was mired in controversy as #7-ranked Kelvin Gastelum came in at 180 pounds, which is 9 pounds over the welterweight limit (you’re allowed a pound) for his bout with #3-ranked Tyron Woodley. This was after he’d been to the hospital and rehydrated, but one has to question his physical well-being after battling the flu all week.
According to Fox Sports 1 broadcasters, the fight almost didn’t happen. The general rule of thumb for missing weight is that you forfeit 20% of your purse to the other fighter. Tyron Woodley rightfully held out for more money because of the weight discrepancy, and will instead get 30% of Gastelum’s purse. Look for Woodley to try to grind out the already seemingly exhausted Gastelum.
That wasn’t the only high profile bout to have a fighter miss weight, as Flyweight title contender John Lineker missed weight for an unprecedented fourth time, coming in at 130 pounds. Win or lose, he’s essentially eliminated from title contention, even though his prelim bout with Ian McCall was set to be a likely title eliminator.
McCall was livid about the unprofessionalism of Lineker, and will look to earn his third crack at Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson. You can see the fight on Fox Sports 1.
Another big prelim bout features a couple of names out of Ronda Rousey’s graveyard in Miesha Tate and Sara McMann. This is about as high profile as a fight gets in the women’s 135-pound division without featuring Rousey, and the two are looking to work their way back up to title contention.
McMann benefits greatly where she always has– Olympic medal winning wrestling. While Tate’s wrestling has been lauded in the past, she’s often had trouble with her top game. McMann also has a quick jab that she likes to employ, and will likely utilize it to set up her jab. This fight will also air on Fox Sports 1.
A few familiar names are also featured on the UFC 183 main card, as Joe Lauzon looks to extend his performance bonus record against Al Iaquinta, who has won 5 of his last 6 UFC bouts. UFC 100 co-headliner Thiago Alves will look to get his first winning streak in six years going when he takes on Jordan Mein.
Also, Thales Leites, who you may remember from an underwhelming 2009 title fight against Anderson Silva will take on fan-favorite Tim Boetsch. Leites is interesting in that since the Silva fight, he only lost a close (but uneventful) fight to Alessio Sakara and a fight to Matt Horwich. He’d return and defeat Horwich in a rematch handily, and is currently riding a four-fight UFC winning streak with a new aggressive attitude. Since being cut from the UFC in 2010, Leites has went 10-1.
Wrestling Inc will have full live coverage of UFC 183 starting with the preliminary bouts at 6:30 eastern tonight.

New Delhi, Oct 28 : Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students on Friday staged a protest outside the Delhi Police headquarters at ITO against alleged police inaction in the case of disappearance of JNU student Najeeb Ahmed.
The students demanded that the status of the probe by Special Investigation Team (SIT) be made public and asked why the police has not yet examined the records and CCTV recordings of vehicles entering the JNU campus on the day Ahmed went missing.
They also wondered why the police have not yet questioned the alleged “goons” who beat up Ahmed.
Ahmed went missing on the night of October 14 after he was beaten up allegedly by some members of Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
A police complaint was filed and a Proctorial inquiry was initiated by the university. The police later formed an SIT to trace Ahmed.
Around 200 to 250 JNU students took part in the protest which started at 4.30 p.m. The police declared the protest illegal and warned the students to disperse.
The police barricaded the road outside the headquarters causing a massive traffic jam.
A student delegation, led by JNU Students Union (JNUSU) President Mohit Pandey, went into the headquarters to have deliberations on their demands with police officials.
Another student body named Students Islamic Organisation (SIO) also took part in the protest.
Students made attempts to remove the barricade but relented after JNUSU President Mohit Pandey pleaded with them not to resort to such actions and protest only peacefully.—IANS
