"I'm really excited about this record because it's different from anything I've done before," multi-Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams says of her latest effort - the much-anticipated World Without Tears. "I think it shows a natural progression. Plus, it has some up-tempo stuff on it and I think it was time for me to do that."
Whether you're a Lucinda Williams fan or just discovering her infectiously captivating music for the first time, World Without Tears is an eclectic, heartstring-pulling gem that commands attention simply because it defies categorization. It's equal parts blues, folk, country and rock anchored by deeply poetic lyrics that cut right to the chase in conveying the full spectrum of the human experience and the emotions associated with it - from heartbreak, loss, betrayal and anger to desire, exhilaration and redemption.
That's always been Lucinda's strong suit. The oldest child of renowned poet Miller Williams, Lucinda recorded two acclaimed records for Smithsonian/Folkways before hitting her stride in 1988 with her self-titled debut for the Rough Trade label. Artists and music industry bigwigs took note of her songwriting prowess, and within a short time country artists Patty Loveless' and Mary-Chapin Carpenter's versions of the album's "The Night's Too Long" and "Passionate Kisses," respectively, shot right to the top of the country charts, with the latter tune garnering Lucinda a Grammy in 1992.
That same year, Lucinda released Sweet Old World, which garnered much critical acclaim and squarely placed her at the forefront of the burgeoning Americana music scene. Then in 1998 the floodgates opened with the release of the stunning, Grammy-winning Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. That was followed in 2000 with the laid-back, sensually dripping Essence - an album that prompted Time magazine to name Lucinda as "America's Best Songwriter." And now there's the genre-crossing World Without Tears.
"Each song has a different flavor, and reflects some of my influences," Lucinda says of World Without Tears. What's apparent is the record reflects a cool mix of many styles. For example, there's the raw, sexually charged, r&b tinged "Righteously" that features a searing guitar line reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix's "Third Stone from the Sun." The song "Atonement" is a sinewy, swampy, menacing ZZ Top-meets-Howlin'-Wolf jab at self-righteous bible brandishers. Then there's the very Dylan-esque, emotionally intense "Sweet Side," as well as the ripping, blistering Exile-on-Main-Street-like "Real Live Bleeding Fingers And Broken Guitar Strings."
One of the most revealing tracks on World Without Tears is the moody, Doors-flavored "American Dream," in which Lucinda weaves a chilling, harrowing, first-person narrative. "Even though, yes, it's a great country that we're living in and we have a lot of advantages, but at the same time there are problems that we need to address." Lucinda says of the tune.
In addressing the recording process of World Without Tears, Lucinda enlisted the services of Mark Howard, who's also gone behind the boards for Bob Dylan and U2. As he's done with other artists he's recorded, Mark convinced Lucinda that going for a live approach would lend the material more of a warm, intimate touch. "Everything was so spontaneous and emotional," Lucinda points out. "It was great. We recorded the album in this huge 1920s mansion right in the middle of Los Angeles. We recorded the way a live band would record." That crackerjack band consists of: Doug Pettibone on guitar; Jim Christie on drums, percussion and keyboards; and Taras Prodaniuk on bass.
One of the spontaneous moments Lucinda is referring to happened during the recording of the reflective, world-weary title track. "I showed it to the band one time, and before we had time to even think about anything too much, we sat down and did it," Lucinda recalls. "It was truly magical."
The rest of the tracks on World Without Tears. "These songs really are 'The Fruits of My Labor,' which is the title of one of the songs on the album," remarks an enthusiastic Lucinda. "It shows all the different musical influences that have entered into my life, but none of it was conscious. It just happened."
That's what makes World Without Tears so special. The mark of a true artist is to synthesize various musical elements and then create something that's so completely original. Lucinda Williams has definitely captured that spirit and sense of artistic vibrancy.

Johns Hopkins looked sharp as they approached a March 5 showdown with Princeton at Homewood Field. The Blue Jays had convincingly won their first three games of the season by an average margin of nine goals. The stinging memory of their 7-8, 2010 campaign that ended with a 18-5 drubbing by Duke in the first round of the playoffs was beginning to fade. But then the Tigers came to town.
Princeton's 3-0 first quarter lead quickly grew to 8-1 before the onslaught ended, 8-3. Hopkins got crushed in the ground ball battle, 38-21, turned the ball over 15 times, and were outshot 32-25. Princeton dominated for long stretches, and the Blue Jays struggled to get anything going on either end.
"The Princeton game was a game where I think a lot of things were revealed to us," says Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala. "We didn't win the ground ball war. We didn't play very good defense. I think we were lethargic. I thought we didn't play with a level of passion I'd seen from our team since."
"For some of the younger guys, it probably was a wake-up call that when you don't come out 100% ready to play...that you can get run off the field, and we got embarrassed at home on Homewood Field," says senior captain Matt Dolente,
Since the loss, Hopkins has righted the ship. They handled Manhattan and UMBC before falling in double-overtime to top-ranked Syracuse 5-4. The Jays responded to that defeat with their biggest win of the year, a 12-11 victory over No. 2 Virginia at home. The Blue Jays take that momentum into a meeting with North Carolina, which is coming off a big win against Maryland, at the Konica Minolta Big City Classic at New Meadowlands Stadium.
In some ways, the Princeton game provided a turning point for this Hopkins team, a mirror that exposed their flaws and focused the team on improvement.
"Maybe you can look back and say that was a changing moment for this program or this group," says Pietramala. "We we had to look and go, 'wow, that's last year's stuff, we don't want that any more.'"
"We went into the offseason saying there were three really critical areas where we had to improve," Pietramala says. "We had to improve our ground ball play. We had to improve at the face-off X, and we had to be better defensively. Obviously two of those significantly impact the third, but those are three areas that we focused on, and we continue to focus on."
So far, the ground game has been considerably better for Hopkins in 2011 than 2010. They are winning 64.2% of draws as opposed to 47% last year and enjoying a +30 ground ball differential unlike the -40 ground ball gap from last season.
"We've developed a better mentality in terms of hunting the ball as a group," says Dolente.
The defense has looked better too. Uncharacteristic for Hopkins, the Jays gave up nearly 10 goals a game last year. So far this season, they are yielding 6.1, second-fewest in the nation, with last week's Virginia win being the only time an opponent has cracked double-digits. For a close unit comprising two sophomores and a freshman, plus another sophomore in net, they look surprisingly seasoned.
"You have Tucker Durkin and Chris Lightner in their second year," says Dolente. "They're not freshman anymore, and that's a huge step for a Hopkins defenseman."
"I think defensively guys are really starting to get a grasp of the defense, knowing all the assignments really well. Everyone is just knowing their role and fitting into it," says the sophomore Durkin. "On top of that, Pierce [Bassett] is just playing unbelievable."
The sophomore goalie from Arizona' voice may be quiet off the field, but his play has made some loud statements in 2011. Bassett is saving 64.9% of the shots he sees, going better than 73% on four occasions including a 16-save (76.2%) day against the Orange.
"There's nothing you can say that would convince a coach that one year doesn't make a dramatic difference for a goalie," says Pietramala. "You can see in his leadership skills; he is much more comfortable in that defense."
Bassett is not the only underclassmen playing a big role in Hopkins' 2011 success. The team's starting line-up boasts six sophomores, two freshmen, and just two seniors. Sophomore Zach Palmer is tied with senior captain Chris Boland as the team's points leaders. So far, 62.3% of the team's scoring production has come from underclassmen. The game-winning goal in the Jays' signature win this year works almost as a metaphor for this teams' balance of young and old, as freshman middie Rob Guida fed Boland to down the Cavaliers.
In fact, the Virginia game showed just how much these young players have stepped up. Four sophomores and two freshmen registered points, with sophomore Lee Coppersmith enjoying a three-goal coming out party after sophomore John Greeley (who scored as well) took a vicious hit in the second quarter and left the game. Bassett made 14 saves, and freshman Jack Reilly helped hold Shamel Bratton to two goals.
But this youth movement at Hopkins makes its biggest impact in practice. Last season, Pietramala and his staff struggled at times to get the proper effort and focus from the team. Where a senior group may take time off to lick their wounds or take it a little easier, a young team doesn't know any better and comes out every day ready to work, as the coach explains. Young guys want their shot to get better and to impress the coaches, and if the guys in front of them are slacking, there is someone waiting to step up.
"Younger guys on the team want to work hard because they want to get to that next step on the team," says senior captain Kyle Wharton. "I think that definitely trickles down into the guys that are a little older. If you see a freshman working hard and taking extra shots after practice, you're definitely going to get on that bandwagon as well."
"There is a youthful exuberance," says Pietramala. "There is an energy, and that doesn't necessarily just come because you're young, it comes because your group has charisma, and I think that this group has charisma."
Crediting assistant coach Bob Benson with creating savvy game plans that put these young players in favorable positions, Guida says he and his fellow underclassmen have been able to gain confidence, and that has translated to them seizing the moment in games, not being afraid to step up and make a play.
"It was nice knowing that my team and my coaches have enough confidence in me to be on the field in that situation and to know I can make a play," Guida says of his big assist to Boland in the waining moments against Virginia.
"The last few years, we haven't really been able to make those plays," says Benson. "If we don't make a play at the end of the game to score a goal or we don't make a play to get a stop, we're probably not getting an article about how we're better this year than last year."
"Everybody wants to talk about our youth," says Pietramala, "We talk about how important our leadership is to that youth, and how important Matt Dolente, Chris Boland, and Kyle Wharton are to those younger guys."
Unlike most seasons, Hopkins waited until the end of fall ball to elect captains, Pietramala says. Through their hard work and leadership in autumn, Dolente and Wharton discerned themselves amongst their teammates. Despite being injured for much of the past year and not playing in the fall, Boland made a big enough impact on this squad that he too was bestowed a captain's "C" for his jersey.
Each captain brings a different style of leadership. Wharton is a source of constant, often encouraging, chatter during practice and games. Dolente comes off as a brooding thinker who demands that kind of attention and focus from his team. Boland's guidance is like his playing style, more cerebral, a mix of noise and example.
"I don't know if I say anything worth any substance, but it definitely is loud," says Wharton. "I'm extremely competitive, but I also understand it's a game, and I like to have fun doing it. So when we're out at practice, if things aren't going well, I'll usually tend to try to lighten the mood up a little bit."
"Matt's definitely I'd say our most prominent vocal leader," says Guida. "He's been through everything. He knows what is best for this team, and what it takes to win. He's always there to re-enforce what coach says, and it's good to hear it from a player as well."
"Bo's a little quieter, kind of lead by example," says Dolente. "The guys have a ton of respect for Chris because of what he's been through in his time here, with injuries and stuff like that."
Fresh off the disappointment of 2010, the three captains set about changing the attitude and work habits of this year's team to avoid the pitfalls that stung too freshly from the previous season.
"I think we tried to focus on that in the fall and early in the preseason," says Dolente, "just getting guys to put forth 100% effort every day."
The captains and their fellow upperclassmen also realized the importance of tutelage and guidance on such a young team. Dolente, Wharton and Boland had to function as pseudo-coaches at times, bringing younger players up to speed on plays and proper decision-making as well as handling adversity.
"When you have a lot of young guys playing, they're going to make mistakes, and it's our job to sort of guide them to do the right things, to learn every day, to get better every day," says Dolente.
"They really are like a good support system for the team, especially when we're so young," Guida says, "because we have older guys to look to that have been through everything and have really been there for us when we need them."
One of the lessons imparted by captains and coaching staff alike is the importance of taking a measured approach to the season. Each game carries its own importance. Win or lose one week, you better be ready the next.
"We're not getting ahead of ourselves at all," says Dolente. "We had a good win last weekend. I think we played hard against Syracuse. We're just trying to build that momentum going forward. We're more worried about the next game than trying to feel good about ourselves."
Last year the team suffered from an inconsistent approach week-to-week, Pietramala says. At times it seemed they overlooked some opponents, or assumed they could turn it on when they had to and the wins would come. The 7-8 record served a dose of humility to that mindset.
This year that has not been the case. That Princeton game may have showed just how quickly you can go from looking great to looking awful. Regardless of the previous contest's result, the Blue Jays simply take the lessons learned and hope to play better in the next game.
"Our motto really has been, 'On to the next one,'" says Guida. "So as soon as [the Virginia] game was over, it was all about UNC, and we're really trying to get a big win."
How the team responds has been a constant theme for Pietramala this season. When he thrusts forth a challenge, he expects this squad to answer the bell.
"How we handle success is important," says Pietramala. "We showed we can handle failure by beating Virginia after a really challenging and emotional Syracuse loss. Now we've got to show that we can handle success."

A Study of the Effects of Paroxetine on the Pharmacokinetics of Paliperidone ER

- How to Read a Study Record
|Drug: Paliperidone ER
|Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Randomized, Open-label, Single-center, Crossover Study of the Potential Effects of Paroxetine on the Pharmacokinetics of a Single Dose of Paliperidone Extended-release in Healthy Men
- To evaluate the effects of a CYP2D6 inhibitor, paroxetine, on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of orally administered paliperidone ER
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the 3 mg tablet of paliperidone ER administered with and without paroxetine to healthy men
|Study Start Date:
|March 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2006
This is a randomized, open-label, single-center, single-dose, 2 treatment, 2 way crossover study. It consists of 3 phases: a screening phase beginning within 21 days before the first study drug administration; an open label treatment phase consisting of 2 treatment periods (Period 1 and Period 2), during which patients will receive 2 single doses of 3 mg paliperidone ER; and end of study evaluations upon completion of all the study procedures in Period 2 or at early withdrawal. All volunteers will receive each of the following 2 treatments in random order: Treatment A: 1 tablet of 3 mg paliperidone ER in the fasted state; Treatment B: one 20 mg paroxetine tablet once a day from Day 1 to Day 13 and 1 tablet of 3 mg paliperidone ER on Day 10 in the fasted state. Successive paliperidone ER administrations will be separated by a washout period of at least 14 days and no more than 28 days. Paroxetine is a potent and selective CYP2D6 inhibitor. Inhibitors of CYP2D6 such as paroxetine have been reported to increase the plasma concentrations of antipsychotics such as perphenazine, clozapine, and risperidone. Because paliperidone ER and paroxetine could potentially be used in combination in schizophrenic patients, the potential for a drug-drug interaction between paroxetine and paliperidone ER needs to be explored.The safety and tolerability of the 3 mg tablet of paliperidone ER administered with and without paroxetine to healthy men will be monitored.
Two single oral doses of paliperidone ER 3-mg; 20-mg paroxetine orally once a day for 13 days
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 55 Years (Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Body mass index (weight [kg]/height [m2]) of 18 to 30 kg/m2, inclusive
- Extensive metabolizer of CYP2D6. Volunteers whose CYP2D6 genotype is unknown should have been phenotyped before the start of the study using dextromethorphan as a probe (i.e., have a dextromethorphan metabolic ratio <0.02, as determined according to the standard procedures of the study center)

Emil de Leon, 'Wheel of Fortune' contestant who correctly guessed the words on board with only two letters, talks about taking part in the show while stopping by 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'.
Emil de Leon, a contestant of "Wheel of Fortune" who correctly guessed the words "New Baby Buggy" on board with only two-letter clue, appeared in the latest episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". Stopping by the chat show, Emile said that he usually made correct guesses when watching the show at home.
"Most of the time, yes. The majority of the time," he told Ellen DeGeneres. The 25-year-old student added, "99% of the time. So watching with my family and friends, you can't do it. Because after five seconds it's, 'Emil got it again!' " Emil, Ellen and guest host Jason Bateman also played guessing game in the episode.
"I am overwhelmed, this is surreal. I can't look at then Internet without seeing my face all over it," Emil said of his experience in a separate interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "I am not very good at talking, I am such an introvert. I stutter a lot but when it came to the puzzle I was in the zone and it got rid of my stutter."
Emil, who admitted that he started watching the show when he was a kid, continued explaining how he made the guess. "The first word was easy as there is pretty much nothing that can go there except 'new.' Then I just kept on working with the second word - I used a used letter board, the first letter there was B, so I worked off that. New Baby just sounds right - it flows," he said.
He added that he had "babies on my mind" after studying pediatrics for exam. "I just thought, 'what do you find with a new baby?' and came up with buggy," he shared. Emil brought home $63,099 in cash and said he would use the money to pay tuition and have a trip to Cabo, Mexico.

Reports that Fox and Marvel Studios are going to do some horse-trading with its Fantastic Four franchise to keep Daredevil in the fold were being strenuously denied by sources I've talked to. Deadline revealed during Comic-Con last month that Fox was facing a ticking clock over Daredevil rights, which will revert to Marvel's new owners at Disney if the reboot doesn't go into production soon. Those hopes dimmed when David Slade stepped out as director. The new report had Disney willing to extend the rights, but only if Fox lends it the right to use in its own films the villain Galactus, a major baddie from both the Fox-controlled Fantastic Four and The Silver Surfer. It doesn't make sense. With Chronicle helmer Josh Trank aboard to direct, Fantastic Four is a big priority and the studio would be crazy to give away a cornerstone villain it could use now or down the line. Especially when the studio is very lukewarm about rebooting Daredevil, which focuses on blind lawyer Matt Murdock and his emergence as a crime fighter powered by heightened sensory perception. While Joe Carnahan has come to the studio with a take, it sounds like Fox is ready to let it revert to Disney-owned Marvel, unless Disney is interested in co-financing. That is what the current talks are really about.
Fox Insiders: No Galactus Talks With Marvel
60 Comments
Given how poorly they interpreted Galactus in Rise of the Silver Surfer, I can't imagine why they'd want to hold onto him.
Fox would rather destroy the characters than allow someone else to succeed with them.
'THEY' did nothing as far as interpretation of GALACTUS goes in Rise of SS… what they did was borrow an idea that has been done already in COMICS. So galactus can be either a swarm or a single individual from what I have read. #justsaying (love the hash tag)
Please…..PLEASE keep Carnahan away from these properties!!!
Smokin'Aces was lame and had one of the worst endings ever!
A-team was such a misfire and he only tried to distance himself away from it when it was a box office turkey. I remember before that he was saying it was going to be as big as Batman with at least 3 sequels!
There are too many other talented directors to go with so move on!
Ha! Smokin aces was amazing!!
You obviously haven't seen NARC and THE GREY.
Joe Carnahan is EXACTLY the type of director that should be handling a DAREDEVIL adaptation.
Also, I don't think he ever said that THE A-TEAM was going to be as big as Batman with at least three sequels, that's you making stuff up to support your argument.
I really do hope Marvel Studios gets Daredevil back. It'd be great to get all the Marvel universe characters in the same fold, under the care of people who really understand them and their appeal.
Hopefully, this will set a precedent and Sony will sell Spider-Man back to Marvel next. To paraphrase Nick Fury, "Sony… you're up!"
I'd love to see all the Marvel characters in one universe too… but also excited about the idea of a grittier, 70s action style Daredevil. Have mixed feelings on Carnahan, but if the film is more Narc than Smokin' Aces (ugh), then we should be good.
Marvel having the rights back doesn't mean they'd have the means to make all those films. They have finite resources, and they're not going to axe something for a Daredevil reboot. Its in their interest to have other studios paying them to play with the characters they likely wouldn't pursue anyway.
I'm confused as to what you're referring to when you talk about the "means to make all those films". Marvel is currently owned by Disney Studios, and has pretty much hit a home run with every Marvel property film for the past five years, starting with Iron Man.
Disney has been producing films for several decades.
If the notion is that between Marvel Studios and Disney Studios they won't be able to finance other film projects, I'd love to see what facts you have to support it.
If the idea is that there aren't enough actors, directors, cameramen, extras, or stunt men to go around, I'd like to see your proof or evidence of that.
I think that Marvel/Disney will be able to support any project tyhat they deem may be profitable. As long as the new projects have the same quality of acting, writing and directing as we're seeing from the more recent films, including A-list actors and directors, I think these films will continue to draw in audiences. The notion of a unified Marvel Universe, featuring cameos and references to characters from movies already well received by the public should only help to increase the likely prospects of success.
Stan Lee, as the Editor of Marvel Comics figured out just how profitable a unified, continuous Marvel Universe could be. Hopefully, the movie studios will realize that very same thing.
The only way I see Sony ditching Spider-Man is if they're in the process of getting rid of their film division.
If I were Fox I would much rather keep Fantastic Four than Daredevil. It's a no brainer, really. Can't say that this surprises me.
Good – let it revert to Disney/Marvel, so they can turn Daredevil into a TV series: an action-packed neo-noir legal series. Something along the lines of The Good Wife meets Dexter. Would be awesome.
I think it's time for Marvel/Disney to play hardball. Fox has horded the rights to the Daredevil and Fantastic Four franchises for years with no outpout and nothing planned for release through 2015.
If Marvel/Disney only gets Daredevil back out of this, good. It's been almost 10 years since Daredevil and 7 and a half since Elektra. Fox can't sit on these characters forever with nothing to show for it. Just like they were never serious about adapting Watchmen into a movie.
They can sit as long as their rights agreements allow. Whether they're doing right by the characters (and the audience, for that matter) really doesn't factor here above the legality.
You've missed the point entirely Tucker. In this situation here though, Fox has sat on Daredevil for as long as legally possible and now it looks like that franchise will revert to Marvel/Disney. But if Marvel can get at least one franchise back, that is a win.
How they've been legally able to sit on Daredevil for this long though, makes you wonder what kind of deals Marvel signed when they licensed out their characters years back.
Fox was able to sit on Daredevil because that was part of the deal. They have as long as the deal says to make a movie. What's happening with Daredevil is what happened to Iron Man when New Line Cinema had the rights. They just missed the deadline.
I know these movies make a LOT of money, but we need to stop talking about these characters like they're Michael Corleone or Travis Bickle. It's depressing.
One person's Godfather is another person's Avengers.
Wiser words have not often been spoken (here, at any rate).
And why is that Bill C.? Because they are based on comic books? Does it disgust you that some people might prefer The Avengers or The Dark Knight to The Godfather? Tastes differ.
It doesn't disgust me. It's just a bummer that these comic book movies seem to be taking up so much real estate in the movie-going landscape. Yes, they're revered characters from the comics. But does that make them great roles for actors? Are we going to be talking about Chris Hemsworth's performance as Thor in 30 years? Or Chris Evans as Captain America? Those movies came out yesterday and I barely remember them.
This is where your snobbery comes through.
People still talk about Jack Nicolson as Joker in the Batman do they not? To Nicholson it's one of his favorite roles and he even claimed for years it was a role he wanted to return to and do more of even saying things like, "Joker is still alive, the chemicals he was pumped full of kept him alive."
In 30 years? Who knows. I think in 30 years people will still talk about Robert Downey Jr.'s role as Iron Man/Tony Stark. You can't even argue that. That role revived and resurrected his career. It made him a box office draw and an A-lister. It got his career going again. People still talk about Connery as Bond 50 years later so yes people can still talk about these actors in these roles.
Heath Ledger won an Academy Award for Dark Knight. So yes, these movies and these roles will be remembered and recognized for years and generations to come hopefully despite your attitude.
…these are characters with 60+ years of history behind them
so in a certain POV, they are much better than a Michael Corleone or Travis Bickle
Nope, I'm really sorry but there's no weak-minded "certain point of view" pandering argument you think you can tease here that's going to to convince me that anything Marvel Studios produces in the coming years leads to anything on the same level as DeNiro's Travis Bickle and Pacino's Michael Corleone.
It's the difference between, and please forgive me; a fantastic comic book an only decent novel. And yes, this is snobbery, but there is no comparison between the two, unless you're comparing Watchmen and some shitty pornographic or Christian dime pamphlet…
"so in a certain POV, they are much better than a Michael Corleone or Travis Bickle." Nah, not really.
Or, you could just, you know…. not join conversations you find so dis-interesting.
No way Disney went into talks with Fox if the only deal on the table was to allow Disney the option to co-finance a Fox film. Disney never would have even started talks if that was the deal.
It may make sense to Mike Fleming that a studio would like to save on development costs and co-finance another studio's product, but Fox aldready pissed away their "cornerstone" villain in an entire $100+ million disappointment that they'll never remake anyway.
The truth is, if you've ever seen a Fox produced Marvel film in your life, then you would know they've been trying to avoid the "cosmic stuff" at every turn. They blew the most famous X-Men story ever told, The Dark Phoenix Saga, and dumped every space-based aspect from that story. Fox didn't even send the Fantastic Four into deep space, but rather placed them on an orbiting space station.
Fox is only back-pedaling now because this story made it more apparent than ever that they have no idea what the real value of these characters are (and I'm talking story, not $$$). More and more of the entertainment news media is picking up on Disney/Marvel Studios' unparalleled success with their own in-house productions where other studios continue to flounder with only a single successful ongoing franchise… If that.
Despite the success of First Class, Fox can still see that the diminishing returns of the X-Men franchise hasn't turned around. They just can't explain it. To see Marvel Studios, that has no less than 5 successful Marvel franchises still going, get that much positive press for asking for their characters back… Fox knows it made them look exactly like what they are. Clueless.
Let the spin continue.
^This times its over 9000.
I'm pretty sure it would be a bit more than just Disney co-financing a 20th Century Fox film. I would imagine a co-financing deal would be more along the lines of Disney co-financing the film along with getting the rights to Daredevil back but 20th Century Fox does most of the heavy lifting like marketing, distribution, etc.
And honestly it makes sense. Disney would benefit from Daredevil entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios being involved would guarantee a level of quality control to ensure that we don't get another MSJ Daredevil film, and they most likely would get the rights back. But Disney's Marvel Studios slate is absolutely full, they just don't have the time to make a Daredevil film in the near future. That's where 20th Century Fox would come in and do the heavy lifting and they benefit from having a major blockbuster that's associated with one of the biggest movies of all time in their slate.
What? No. Never. We are never giving up Daredevil. The movie will go into production on Oct. 9th even if I have to direct it myself. :(
Ha! Ha! That's some funny shite!
Corporations fighting over Galactus. Love it!
Daredevil may be that rare superhero character who would be better off on TV than movies. He fits nearly into the lawyer/investigator/cop with a handicap/secret power trope so popular now.
This deal makes no sense to me. Sure, Marvel would get a couple of bad guys, but on Oct 10th they would get Dardevil AND all the badies that property comes with. You don't think they want Kingpin etc? Why waste that for a couple of bad guys!?
And who the hell wants Joe Carnahan to bring his headache inducing cranage to a Marvel property!? His last pic was good, put I don't trust him with large action properties. A-Team was awful.
Galactus would be huge for marvel. Might turn around the second wave of marvel films that as of now is hinging on guardians of the galaxy
why not just lend Fox the rights to use Kermit the Frog in their Sesame Street movie, Disney?
Let's keep hoping that Marvel gets the rights back to all of its characters very soon. All the Marvel characters deserve to be under the same banner. Then you'll really get to see how great the entire Marvel Universe is when it's working together.
For the uninitiated, Galactus is one of the most powerful and iconic villains/comic forces in the Marvel Universe. I can see how this makes sense to Marvel as Galactus would be an excellent foe for the upcoming Avengers sequel. Galactus is one villain that Marvel fanboys will really get excited about.
This such a fascinating story, because Marvel/Disney is really bargaining with itself several years ago. After spending years and years wresting the rights from several small-time producers, they turned around and licensed the characters to whichever studio would pony up the money. Now their best characters (Spiderman, X-men and Fantastic Four) are stretched across several studios, Fox, Sony and Universal, which forced them to develop B-list heroes (and ease off, fanboys, just talking brand recognition). Now they are in the position of having to wait for their own characters to fail in new movies to eventually get them back. I wager that the next time we see Spiderman, Wolverine and Iron Man in the same film is about 25 years from now. Seriously.
Good post, except for you calling them Marvel's best characters.
"This deal makes no sense to me. Sure, Marvel would get a couple of bad guys, but on Oct 10th they would get Dardevil AND all the badies that property comes with. You don't think they want Kingpin etc? Why waste that for a couple of bad guys!?"
Are you seriously asking why Marvel would want a universal planet devouring force and a popular cosmic-powered superhero over a fat crime boss? Those characters are worth far more to Marvel than anything Daredevil has to offer given the movies they're making. Why in the world would Marvel want or need the Kingpin? He's a villain for street-level heroes only. He's not somebody you throw up against the Avengers.
The Silver Surfer and Galactus, however, are very much necessary given what we've seen and heard of so far (Thanos, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc). If Marvel tells the story of the Infinity Gauntlet then they're going to want both the Silver Surfer and Galactus for that. And if Guardians of the Galaxy succeeds and creates a franchise then adapting the Annihilation story is a natural next step, and both the Silver Surfer and Galactus play big roles in that, not to mention the Fantastic Four villain Annihilus.
Marvel's moving in a more cosmic direction with their movies, and the Silver Surfer and Galactus are a perfect fit for that. Kingpin, however… not so much.
As for Fox, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Their focus when it comes to comic book movies should be the X-Men. Forget the Fantastic Four and Daredevil, as they'll never be able to exploit those properties to their fullest (The Fantastic Four, especially, needs the rest of the Marvel Universe to REALLY shine. On its own it's not so great). The X-Men is where it's at. From what I understand they don't quite have every X-Men related character there is, and big names like Cable, Longshot, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch exist in a kind of grey area. If Fox had any sense they'd either A) Sell the Fantastic Four and Daredevil and all other associated characters back to Marvel, and/or B) Trade them to Marvel for whatever's left of Marvel's Mutant Universe that they still don't own.
The X-Universe is, on its own, JUST as large and expansive as the regular Marvel Universe, so take advantage of that, Fox! Instead of screwing around with Daredevil and Fantastic Four expand the X-Men Universe. That's a property which can easily support multiple movie lines, and they can justifiably be just as interconnected as the Marvel movies. And the great thing about them is that EVERY character has the same origin. You can throw out team movies and not have to introduce characters separately, because everybody, no matter how different their powers are, got their powers in the same way: they're mutants who were born different.
If it were up to me, this is what I would do:
1) X-MEN 4: The goal here is to undo the events of X-Men 3, which cratered the franchise. This is admittedly the hardest part, given how much damage Ratner's film inflicted on the franchise. The options here are to either find some narrative way to undo the deaths of Cyclops, Professor X (Yeah, he possessed that other guys body, but still), and Jean, OR… use time travel and erase it. Fox is doing Days of Future Past, so they're not gunshy about using time travel in their X-Men franchise. This becomes easier if they acquire Cable from Marvel. The time traveling son of Scott Summers and Jean Grey? That'd definitely be interesting. And hey, you could cast Stephen Lang in the role. He'd be perfect.
(Speaking of which, Cyclops seriously needs to be recast. James Marsden is a good actor, but there's a reason he was still doing teen movies when he was nearly 30. He looks like a child. Seriously, Famke looked like she was robbing the cradle every time she was next to him)
Once you undo the damage which X-Men 3 inflicted on the franchise, though, spin the franchise off into TWO flagship movie franchises.
2) ASTONISHING X-MEN: This would be the first, and would feature the X-Men Blue Team led by Cyclops and their adventures. The primary opponents for these films could be Mr. Sinister, the Marauders, Apocalypse, and so on. Treat Cyclops as the leading man and focus around those stories which are most associated with Cyclops and Phoenix.
3) UNCANNY X-MEN: The second film franchise which could be spun out of X-Men 4, except that it's the X-Men Gold Team led by Storm (And as such, has a completely different roster). Both film franchises could run concurrently, maybe even releasing at different times of the same year. There could always be some crossover with heroes and villains from one reappearing in the other but, for the most part, they'd each have wholly different casts with the notable exception of Patrick Stewart as Professor X. The theme of these movies could be focused more on the element of mutant persecution and introduce the Sentinels, the Reavers, and Cameron Hodge.
4) DE-AGE MAGNETO: Ian McKellan has said it himself, one slip in the shower and he's done for. We have to accept that he's getting older and won't be able to play Magneto for much longer, so take a page from the comics and de-age Magneto. Start out with Ian McKellan as Magneto in one film, then partway through the film de-age him into Michael Fassbender.
5) SPIN-OFFS: Fox got to a rocky start with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but clearly they haven't given up on the idea, as they're filming The Wolverine right now. The idea of spin-offs isn't bad one. The only problem was the terrible execution. Do a better job of it and the lucre will follow. Here're spin-offs which should absolutely be considered:
– DEADPOOL: You ruined him in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but you can still fix that mistake if you just ignore that movie. Give us a movie about the Merc With a Mouth in all his insane glory.
– X-FACTOR: A mutant detective agency. What's not to like?
– X-FORCE: A mutant paramilitary force led by Cable. This could either be done like the original X-Force or, more interestingly, like the black ops squad which Cyclops created a while back. Put all of the X-Men's deadliest killers in one team with Cyclops serving as the M to their Bond and unlease them against the Mutant Liberation Front and so on. Give us a team with Cable, Wolverine, Archangel, Psylocke, Domino, Deadpool, Fantomex, and maybe even X-23 (Now THAT is a character who'd be interesting to see in an X-Men movie. I'd love to see Hugh Jackman playing the father figure to a teenaged girl just like him).
– NEW X-MEN: This could be a mix of the New Mutants and the 2006 New X-Men comic book series. This could be the Harry Potter of the X-Men Universe with teenage kids attending the Xavier Institute and learning how to use their powers, all the while having adventures. This could be a ton of fun for families.
6) COSTUMES: Lastly, the X-Men are colorful. Embrace that! It worked just fine in Avengers, so why run from it? Dump the black leather uniforms and give us costumes more in line with what we've seen in the comics.
Anyway, that's what I'd do if I were running things at Fox. Forget Daredevil, forget Fantastic Four. Focus instead on the X-Men. Astonishing X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Deadpool, Wolverine, X-Factor, X-Force, New X-Men. That's seven solid movie franchises which Fox could pursue, and if they're going to be making comic book movies then that's where they should be putting those resources instead of a fruitless attempt at exploiting the Daredevil and Fantastic Four franchises, which they'll never really succeed at. At least not as much as they'd like to.
You don't need Galactus and Silver Surfer to do a Thanos and Infinity Gauntlet story. In fact, Infinity Gauntlet was pretty independent in terms of involving Galactus and Silver Surfer.
The whole run-up to the Infinity Gauntlet was almost entirely in the pages of the Silver Surfer comic, and Thanos was treated as his arch-nemesis for a good long while. And the entire plan of the heroes hinged on the Silver Surfer's ability to move faster than the speed of light and possibly snatch the gauntlet off of Thanos's hand in the middle of the fight. Galactus was also the most noteworthy of the cosmic beings who fought against Thanos, and also played a large role in The Infinity War sequel.
There's also Annihilation (which is a likely story possibility with the Guardians of the Galaxy), where Annihilus (a villain currently owned by Fox) used Galactus as a weapon, before Thanos helped free Galactus who then turned on Annihilus's fleet.
The Silver Surfer is a member of the team called the Annihilators, which features some of Marvel's most powerful cosmic heroes (Beta Ray Bill, Gladiator, Ronan the Accuser, Quasar, and Ikon).
Both the Silver Surfer and Galactus would be a great asset to the MCU, particularly with their expanding into the cosmic end of their titles, like Guardians of the Galaxy (They've mentioned Nova, as well). The Silver Surfer and Galactus are both natural additions to that (Not to mention other Fantastic Four villains like Annihilus, Blastaar, and Super-Skrull).
Daredevil and his rogues gallery, however, adds nothing to the MCU. There's no real downside to Fox hanging on to it, at least in comparison to those Fantastic Four characters.
actually, it was independent of galactus (he was present though, along with the assortment of cosmic aspects, eternity, the living tribunal, etc), but not the silver surfer. Thanos returned to life in the pages of the silver surfer, and the surfer was a major player throughout the saga.
also, given the apparent exclusion of adam warlock, the surfer would make a good proxy for that character.
of course, given that the guardians of the galaxy had pretty much nothing to do with the storyline, i believe at that time they were still functioning in the future ala the legion of super heroes, the story would have to be changed dramatically to involve them.
"of course, given that the guardians of the galaxy had pretty much nothing to do with the storyline, i believe at that time they were still functioning in the future ala the legion of super heroes, the story would have to be changed dramatically to involve them."
There're two Guardians of the Galaxy teams, and they pretty much have almost nothing to do with each other other than the name. The first team was in the 31st century in an alternate future. The second one exists in 2008 in the regular Marvel Universe and not an alternate timeline. THAT is the team which is getting a movie, not the 31st century team.
And that team, or at least many of its members, did have a lot to do with Thanos and the Infinity Gems saga as it includes Adam Warlock, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, and Moondragon, all of whom were neck deep in that. As for the upcoming movie, Gamora and Drax are certain to be in it. Whether Adam Warlock's in it, though, remains up in the air.
I think Disney should take the Daredevil rights back and develop it into a TV series
That wouldn't be a bad idea at all. They have a number of characters who could work as tv shows. Daredevil, the Punisher, Moon Knight, etc. It wouldn't be a bad idea to see them developed in a Marvel Television Universe (MTU?).
We should really stop using the word "Disney" when we talk about Marvel Studios. Disney may own Marvel Studios, but they're smart enough to let Kevin Feige continue to do what he does best. So let's stop acting as though the studio that brought you John Carter and Tron Legacy have any idea what to do with these characters. They don't. Kevin Feige is the architect of Marvel Studios success and the juggernaut that is the Avengers feature film. Disney can only be credited with buying its way into distributing a blockbuster that was already under way.
Cuppajoe – uhh what? Tron Legacy made 400 million dollars without much exposition. Second it was a cool movie with one of the greatest soundtracks ever. The ancillary market was big because of that soundtrack. Don't compare to John Carter
If Marvel were to acquire Daredevil, I think it would be cool for Fury to start up a street-division: The New Avengers, and if not a new series of films, then a television series, stappling Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Punisher, and maybe Luke Cage (although I think he's still owned by Sony). This new team can take on the local crimes. The New Avengers will be like the police force/FBI while the Avengers are like the Army.
There's some weird sh*t going on here – & some real deal is being negotiated which isn't Daredevil & Galactus swap or Daredevil Disney part-finance.
Co-finance is plain silly – why put money into Fox's perverted version of DD when you can hang back and pick it up in October.
As for the FF – are they really such a dead-cert for a relaunch?
Even Spider-man, a bigger brand recognition, failed to really light the fire – it seemed totally un-necessary.
To make any kind of splash they'd have to go big bucks – do Fox really want to burn $200M for a series they've failed with before.
The real deal – maybe Disney are talking part-finance of FF to maintain the Marvel brand.
Fox is dumb dumb dumb to let Daredevil revert, b/c Marvel Studios will certainly figure out how to make a buckmoff him–look how prominent the Hulk was in Avengers! But it's well known that apart from the X-Men films Tom Rothman is tired of the comic book movie as a product and would rather develop new franchises.
For God's sake PLEASE ADD DEADPOOL IN THAT DEAL. Deadpool in Avengers hired by Nick Fury = Box office Diamond. CHIMICHANGA!
I hunger……for my rights to revert back to Marvel.
I've said this many times and will say it again, its marvel 's own fault that they don't have all their film properties under one roof.
It served a purpose at one point. It helped keep the company afloat and getting the movies made helped resurrect the company and save it from bankruptcy.
But it's not the end of the world if the characters stay. Now clearly some characters are returning and more can and will happen eventually. They got Blade and Punisher back already and hopefully the Daredevil franchise will be next. It is only a matter of time before all of the Marvel characters return to Marvel.
I'd rather Marvel get the rights back to Daredevil and his entire "universe" which includes Electra, Bullseye, Kingpin, The Hand, et.al. than just get Galactus and Surfer back which are really meaningless without the FF.
All Marvel has to do is sit back and wait eventually the FF will revert back to them.
It would be wise not speak for anyone but yourself. As much as I revere in high regard the performances of Al Pacino and Robert de Niro you bring up, I also will remember, admire and enjoy Chris Evans' and Chris hemworth's performances as Captain America and Thor, respectively, many years to come. Just like the former two actors, the latter two brought to life these characters on screen in engaging, unforgettable ways. You're just being a snooty dick.
I am a big Fantastic Four fan and seeing what FOX did to the FF, I'm seriously going to boycott their reboot of the Fantastic Four. Why can't they just do it for the love of the material. Marvel will definitely do the FF (Galactus and Silver Surfer included) justice given the tone of their movies. FOX just can't get comic book movies right but I think they do have a chance of doing Daredevil justice if they do the Frank Miller-esque Hard Core Daredevil they're talking about because DD would suit that tone of movie (which Marvel on the other hand cannot do because their movies have to have a PG13 rating). So I say give to Marvel and to FOX the things that they'd excel expressing on the big screen.

Thistledown Racino opens today
(North Randall) -- Northeast Ohio's first racino -- a combination race track and casino -- opens this evening, as Thistledown racetrack officially becomes Thistledown Racino. Thistledown Racino opens to the public at 5:00 p.m. after an invitation-only VIP opening at 3:00 p.m.
Thistledown Racino general manager Rick Skinner tells WTAM 1100 that there will eventually be 1147 video lottery terminals (VLTs) on the second floor. They were added as part of an $88 million renovation that also includes three new restaurants and two bars. 700 new employees have been hired.
Live thoroughbred horse racing and simulcast racing will still take place at Thistledown, along with other types of entertainment. Skinner points out income from the VLTs can help supplement racing purses, making those purses more attractive to horse owners.
Thistledown Racino is owned by Rock Ohio Caesars, which also owns the Horseshoe Casino Cleveland. Skinner says the two offer different experiences. There are no table games at Thistledown, like there are at the Horseshoe. Thistledown, according to Skinner, offers more of a lighthearted experience, even including entertainment on the shuttle buses that will run gamblers from the parking areas to the main building.
Because of the proximity of Thistledown and the Horseshoe, there has been talk of moving Thistledown to a site that would be in the Akron-Canton area. Skinner says "We have folks working on many different scenarios, and there has been no decision made either way" on whether the Racino will pack up and move.
Ohio's first racino, Scioto Downs near Columbus, opened a few weeks ago.

The Bay County Sheriff's Office will host a team of assessors from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA) on December 4, 2012. The team will examine all aspects of the Bay County Sheriff's Office policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services. The Bay County Sheriff's Office has to comply with approximately 260 standards in order to receive accredited status. Many of the standards are critical to life, health and safety issues.
As part of the on-site assessment, agency members and the general public are invited to offer comments to the assessment team. A copy of the standards is available through the Bay County Sheriff's Office, Public Information Officer in Panama City at 850-747-4700.
For more information regarding CFA or for persons wishing to offer written comments about the Bay County Sheriff's Office ability to meet the standards of accreditation, please write:
CFA, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, Florida 32302, or email to email@example.com.
The Accreditation Program Manager for the Bay County Sheriff's Office is Deputy Amanda Rubel. Deputy Rubel said the assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar agencies. The assessors will review written materials; interview individuals; and visit offices and other places where compliance can be witnessed. The CFA Assessment Team Leader is Master Officer Tammy Farnham of the Stuart Police Department. Other team members are Corporal Marette Sims of the Winter Springs Police Department and Accreditation Coordinator Karen Thompson of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Once the Commission's assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full Commission, which will then decide if the agency is to receive accredited status. The Bay County Sheriff's Office accreditation is for 3 years. Verification by the team that the Bay County Sheriff's Office meets the Commission's standards is part of a voluntary process to gain or maintain accreditation--a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence.

The end or just the beginning?
As we were getting ready to leave Camp Djabal for the last time, my new friend Rahma kept telling me that it was to be a very sad day. That it wouldn't be the same after we left. All I could think of was to agree with Rahma, as he is rarely wrong with his thoughts. Because so much was unfolding before my eyes during our journey, I have to admit that my words were anything but eloquent. As Rahma was waiting for my response, it all became very clear to me.
I very easily could have shrugged off the opportunity to join Gabriel, Mark and James in Eastern Chad. They had months to plan their trips and mentally prepare. I had three days to decide, and two weeks to prepare myself. Even after the night I spoke with Gabriel for the first time, I woke up thinking, "what am I, crazy?" In that moment, all of this was on the line. Luckily, if you know me at all, I tend to be quite spontaneous. I knew that in just a blink of an eye I could have wished away what could have been some of my life's most memorable moments. Some of life's most important decisions are made this way. Even when you list pros and cons, isn't it what feels right that you end up doing? Well, I felt like this was meant to be.
So, when I responded to Rahma, who seemed to have some tears in his eyes, I said, "Rahma, don't be sad that we're leaving, but be happy that we came." In the moment, I knew I meant what I was saying, but I knew how he felt. Sitting in a hotel room now in N'Djamena, I'm back to that feeling many of you have, that the only way to help is by being there. I'd like you all to know that our friends at Camp Djabal including the Darfur United players, expressed how grateful they were for there friends back home, even the ones they haven't met. Somehow, some way, they understand that they have people miles away supporting them in ways that are just as important as physically traveling and interacting with them.
As I prepare for our departure, I again find myself thankful. I'm sure reality will hit me later on when I'm sitting in my home in Connecticut, that it will be tough to get back out here the way I did, to see my new friends again. And as Rahma said, it will be a sad day. But, as an optimist, I must look at this as just the beginning. The beginning of something incredible.
We must get this team to Iraq.

Brian, I'm in awe of the decision you made to be a part of these young men's lives. To go so far to bring joy and hope to this group of refugees brought together for the love of a sport and to be united as a people is nothing short of historical. Be proud of your efforts and cherish the memories you help to creat for them and for you. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. Many blessings, Karen
This is beautiful. You took some beauty with you to Darfur, and you bring back magic in your heart. I know you will share that magic everywhere you go. Thanks for making the decision to do a wonderful thing.
I can see it's just the beginning for you in being a great advocate for the people of Darfur. Thanks for volunteering to help Darfur United become a reality. I'm sure the new friends you have made will never forget you.
Your words were so right! Especially don't be sad be happy we came…..it is an everyday struggle for the refugees to look for that happiness under the circumstances…but thanks to you guys I am so sure you made it a little bit easier..

Generation X Strikes Out
Traditionally, the 45-55 age group has been the most fervent retirement savers, but that has changed drastically in the last 25 years. As you can see in this chart, the most rapid declines in participation rate for the black line (age 45-54) coincide with major dips in the market, such as in 2001 and 2007.
To make matters worse, Gen-Xers (born 1965 – 1980) are also the most debt-ridden generation of the past century.
According to the Pew Research Center, Gen-Xers and Baby Boomers alike have much lower asset-to-debt ratios than older groups. Whereas War and Depression babies got rid of debt over the past 20 years, Boomers and Gen-Xers were adding to their load:
- War babies: 27x more assets than debt
- Late Boomers: 4x more assets than debt
- Gen-Xers: 2x more assets than debt
That situation deteriorated further in the last six years; while all groups lost money in the Great Recession, the Gen-Xers were the hardest-hit.
As Early and Late Boomers struggled with asset depreciation of 28% and 25%, respectively, Gen-Xers lost almost half (45%) of their already smaller wealth. They also lost 27% of home equity during the crisis, the largest percentage loss of the groups studied by Pew.
Millennials: Down a Well and Refusing the Rope
The effects of a prolonged period of low interest rates on current and near-term retirees are obvious. But the long-term effects on those now in their early years of working and saving may be much greater.
We've all been taught about the power of compound interest. Put away $10,000 today, compounding at 7%, and in 20 years you have about $40,000 and in 30 years nearly $80,000.
As powerful a tool as long-term compounding is, though, nothing can cut the legs out from under it more than saving less early on or earning less in the first few years. Any small change to the input has a drastic effect on what comes out the far end.
The Millennials—those born between 1981 and 2000—are suffering from both right now. It's no secret that interest rates are low, and there is little that their generation, whose oldest members are now in their early thirties, can do about it.
Shrinking interest rates are wreaking real havoc on the Boomers' children, extending the time to retirement for that generation by nearly a decade.
Why would any politician pass legislation to change Social Security eligibility, a measure that usually doesn't bode well for reelection, if they can simply rely on fiscal policy to accomplish the same net effect?
To make matters worse, the years of financial turmoil, a tough post-college job market, high levels of student loans, and numerous other factors have kept most Millennials out of the stock markets.
Millennials are far less likely to open a retirement savings account than previous generations. According to a recent Wells Fargo survey, "In companies that do not automatically enroll eligible employees, just 13.4% of Millennials participate in the plan."
This is worse even than the number EBRI collected in the graph presented earlier, which still pegged retirement plan participation rates at all-time lows for the 20-something set. Only a small percentage of Millennials are taking even the most basic step toward taking charge of their own retirement.
With their parents and grandparents showing them the failure of the pension system and Social Security first-hand, one would think the opposite might be true. But the numbers clearly show that Millennials are less interested in saving for their future retirement than their parents were.
Having seen it happen to their own grandparents, maybe they are just resigned to the idea that they'll have to work well into their golden years anyway. And who could blame their generation for not trusting the stock markets with their capital after seeing what happened to their parents' nest eggs so many times during their own childhoods?
The youngest working generation is eschewing investment, at what might be a great cost down the road.

Holidays in Cuba
Wedding Abroad & Honeymoon
I would like to send this email so that it is highlighted what an outstanding travel advisor Stephanie Allen is. She is an absolute star and miracle worker! I had problems with the travel agency I was previously using, and after they misquoted my honeymoon and took money from my bank account without authorisation I was very stressed and upset about trying to book my honeymoon.
Stephanie changed all that, she worked with me, found a dream holiday that was within our price range and when I had concerns about the airline carrier she found a substitute that was just about within our price range.
What I really appreciated though was her enthusiasm and concern in making sure that I got to book a honeymoon that I would be happy with and her patience throughout all of this has been outstanding. I know I have been picky and there have been a lot of things that have been changed and questioned but Stephanie has worked with us on all of this to get us the honeymoon that we want and has been cheerful, patience and a pleasure to deal with.
I could not pay in full the holiday I booked with yourselves as I was awaiting for the money that was taken out of my account by Key2Holidays to be returned to me, but Stephanie arranged and extended the payment deadline and reservations ensuring we did not miss out on our honeymoon.
The best thing though is that when our registry in the UK couldn't happen and I decided to get married on holiday she found a wedding package within our budget ensuring that our Islamic marriage would be recognised and that my dream of a beach wedding realised.
I hope as a company you know how lucky you are to have an employee that is so dedicated to her work and customers and that she is recognised for her hard work, patience and great attitude with a great bonus ;-)
Kind Regards

A few NFL players tweeted out ignorant statements to their Twitter followers following the verdict of the George Zimmerman trial, the man on trial in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Victor Cruz of the New York Giants and Roddy White of the Atlanta Falcons sent out ignorant comments about the future safety of George Zimmerman after he was found not guilty of the charges against him. It is yet another lesson for athletes about thinking before tweeting, especially with hundreds of thousands of followers readily waiting to read and react to what they write. The New York Jets were able to steer clear of any players making headlines on social media during the fallout following the verdict.
NFL teams, much like any employer, have to be very mindful of what their players are promoting on social media. Twitter seems to have taken the throne as the easiest social media site to cause controversy on, with a 140-character tweet easily posted without a second thought, immediately inserted into the timelines of tons of followers. With emotions running high after a controversial event, such as the George Zimmerman trial, it's fairly easy to make a social media misstep and start a firestorm.
Victor Cruz and Roddy White did just that. It's not about censoring or silencing the players, as they are free to express disagreement with the verdict. Condoning, or appearing to condone or promote violence as a result of the verdict, is the issue at hand here. From Victor Cruz:
"Thoroughly confused. Zimmerman doesn't last a year before the hood catches up to him," Cruz tweeted.
And Roddy White:
"All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid," White tweeted.
Both wide receivers ended up apologizing after the fact, but not before many were (justifiably) upset by their public comments. Discussing the trial is one thing, but supporting violence against George Zimmerman or the jurors in the case is impossible to excuse.
The New York Jets figure into this conversation because their players stayed away from making such comments. When a team can avoid such a pitfall during the fallout from a controversial event such as the George Zimmerman trial, the people behind the scenes who stress the importance of being careful about what is said on social media to players deserve credit. Known as the reigning kings of controversy, the Jets avoided making headlines with their words this weekend.

Forlorn search amid the rubble as toll rises
Nias, Indonesia
Page Tools
A collapsed mosque in Gunung Sitoli on the island of Nias, which was devastated by Tuesday's earthquake.
Photo: AFP
Mila Zebua is poking aimlessly at a 10-metre-high tangle of bricks and cement, which is all that remains of a four-storey shophouse under which her uncle, aunt, cousin, brother and a servant are buried.
As she talks, the pile starts to shimmy. There is a shout from rescue workers on the street to clear the site. No one pays any attention. Behind her, another family member uses a broken pipe to try to make a hole in the tangle.
Stand in the main street of Gunung Sitoli, the main town of the earthquake-ravaged island of Nias, and feel the earth move. Survivors say there were two aftershocks on Wednesday night, the subtle ongoing tremors don't seem to count.
Mila was away studying in Medan, Sumatra, when the quake struck, destroying the homes of her family and her uncle next door.
She gestures to the pile, saying it's impossible they could be alive. "Yesterday I overheard someone asking for help in the back of the house, but there was no sound today," she said.
Four days after the massive 8.7-magnitude earthquake brought down an estimated 60 per cent of buildings on Nias, the island was still without fresh water, power or petrol supplies. On the road leading to the port, people queued for fuel. There was little water on tap and fresh water supplies are dwindling fast.
"We have little to no fresh water but public works hope to have the system in place tomorrow," said Francois Desruisseaux, who is co-ordinating the United Nations response. He said there were 310 confirmed dead on the island, but there may be many more under the rubble.
"The initial report was 2000 dead and I would not discount that," he said.
Other UN officials were quoted as putting the official toll at 620 dead, including at least 600 on Nias and 15 on neighbouring Simeulue. Several hundred are also feared dead on the isolated Banyak islands, north of Nias.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono visited Nias yesterday afternoon to inspect the damage.
While the flow of aid has improved, including the arrival of desperately needed heavy lifting equipment, some parts of Nias and outlying islands were still hard to reach.
· Five Australians known to have been on quake-affected islands were still unaccounted for last night, but 12 others had been confirmed as safe.
A team of embassy officials from Jakarta was still trying to find an Australian man on Nias, who contacted them after suffering mild injuries when the earthquake damaged his accommodation.
Foreign Minister Alexander Mr Downer said an Australian assessment team had found the damage on Nias was greater than expected and the island's hospital was structurally unsafe.
An Australian military hospital should be established on Nias tomorrow, although congestion and damage is hampering the relief effort.

Universities in Western Australia have boosted undergraduate enrolments in line with the federal government's target for higher education participation.
All four WA universities reported increases in their student intake in 2010, led by the number of undergraduate places, which accounted for about 70 per cent of overall student growth at each university.
The government wants 40 per cent of all those aged between 25 and 34 to have an undergraduate degree by 2025, up from about 32 per cent currently.
Percentage-wise, Edith Cowan University reported the biggest jump in student numbers last year, according to its 2010 annual report, up 8.8 per cent, or 1967 students, to 24,241 students.
The University of Western Australia (UWA) was next, with enrolments up 7.1 per cent to 22,590 students, while Curtin and Murdoch universities were up 4.9 per cent and 2.2 per cent respectively.
Curtin vice-chancellor
"Our courses are strongly linked to gaining employment (more quickly), so this is a huge opportunity for us," Professor Hacket said.
But UWA vice-chancellor
The vice-chancellors at Curtin and Murdoch expressed concerns that the federal government expected them to offer more places without providing additional funding for infrastructure.
"Our real challenge is achieving our ambitious growth without increased federal government support for infrastructure," Murdoch vice-chancellor
In financial terms, results for WA's universities were mostly positive.
Murdoch University finished the year with a net operating surplus of $32.4 million, up $21.1 million, or 189 per cent, on 2009 figures.
Professor Martin attributed the rise to Murdoch's highly diversified revenue stream, which includes returns from a St Ives retirement estate built on university land.
UWA was the only other university to improve on its 2009 operating result, up 1.9 per cent to $52.8 million.
Curtin and Edith Cowan both posted healthy surpluses but were down on the previous year.
Curtin reported a surplus of $40.9 million, which was 31.5 per cent lower than 2009.
Professor Hacket said that in real terms, Curtin had ended the year above 2009 figures of about $75 million, but more than $34 million had been written off due to transferring the operations of its Kalgoorlie vocational centre to the state government.
Edith Cowan was down 18.3 per cent, to a positive net operating result of $21 million.
Professor Cox attributed the lower earnings to a downward valuation made on the university's land and buildings, and said it did not impact on the university's operations or stable financial position.
The Australian Financial Review
