[wimg=left]../images/news/02_10_17_knockknock1.jpg[/wimg]No, they don't collectively have a recording contract, and no, they aren't breaking up, and no, they haven't fallen off, the Wu-Tang Clan say.
Tuesday night in New York,
Method Man
Ghostface Killah
Masta Killa
came out to support the
as he directed and starred in the video for Knock, Knock, the first single off of his Legend of a Liquid Sword, due December 10.
"The concept is just to have fun," GZA explained of the clip. "A night out, Wu-Tang is just doing their thing. Chilling"
[wimg=right]../images/news/02_10_17_knockknock2.jpg[/wimg]Though the new disc has a title similar to his critically acclaimed Liquid Swords (1995), they are nothing alike, GZA said. "It's totally different. I call it the Legend 'cause it's me; it's the rap legend. The vibe is a different variety of songs. I got a track from RZA,
J. Waxx
. I got a joint from
called Animal Planet. I mention a lot of animals in the song. I got a track called Luminal produced by
DJ Muggs
Cypress Hill
GZA is the only member of the Clan to put out an album this year, but Method Man and Ghostface Killah are cooking up solo releases for 2003.
"We are going to step outside the temple for a minute," Method Man said about the The Prequel to his first two solo albums, Tical (1994) and Tical 2000 (1998). The Ticallion Stallion has opted for a change of scenery not only in his music, but also while making it. You can find Meth these days rubbing shoulders with Bad Boys like
P. Diddy
at Daddy's House studio.
"I wanted a change, a different work environment," said Meth, who has been collaborating with the Wu and
on the disc. "Puff may jump on a track."
It sounds like the switch-up has done Meth good. Last year, while promoting his and
's "How High" movie, the Shaolin soldier said he wouldn't start recording until he was inspired.
"That sounds so burgee right there," he said of his previous comments, laughing. "It was more or less I had a writer's block. I was waiting till my block left. The best thing to stop a block is you got to push through that shit. Perfect your craft. Same way like a martial artist has to practice for years to become a master. Even when he becomes a master he still has to practice to stay sharp."
Wu's iron man, Ghostface Killah, isn't having problems penning his words, especially with a new solo deal for Def Jam. He said he wants to have his album out by March and he's looking to release a song in the next month or so.
[wimg=left]../images/news/02_10_17_knockknock3.jpg[/wimg]"I'm just going to come up there and show niggas what I'm capable of doing, what I been doing," Ghost said while eyeing the models who roamed the set. "I'm writing right now. I write first, and then record so I am not wasting no studio time. Hip-hop is going through a change right now. The game is mad wack. When a time like this comes, when y'all have no water, we going to bring that water. I'm all about bringing water. Water is life."
[wimg=right]../images/news/02_10_17_knockknock4.jpg[/wimg]RZA, meanwhile, is taking things "back to the basement" as a producer on Tony Stark's album. "Basically static-filled records," he said. "We got some joints. It's going to be that adrenaline rush."
"I worked with Meth," he added. "We worked earlier this year on his album. I did about 10 songs with him. I kept him right there where everybody is at right now, grooving. Meth, he moves, so I kept it groovy."
As if that wasn't enough to keep him busy, RZA also has to find time to make beats and rhymes for the new Wu-Tang album. Wu — currently free agents without a contract — want to put out a record in 2003 to coincide with the 10th anniversary of their classic debut, Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers.
Ol' Dirty Bastard
is through paying his debt to society, he'll be laying vocals on the project, RZA said. "He's going through his hell right now. He's going to be the only man who went through hell and came back alive. He was supposed to be out, but he's building, keeping his mind focused. They're treating him a little different than the average prisoner."
Just as they stand by O.D.B., GZA insisted that everyone else is united and that rumours of a break-up are false. "We have our little beefs and our little discrepancies, but it never get to the point where it's out of hand. Every family argues and goes through things. We are still here. Wu is still Wu."

This band has no press
"Artificial Sacrificial Darkness In The Temple Of The Damned" - 10" vinyl EP - Skeleton Ears - soldout
"Master" - CD - Skeleton Ears (pias disitribution)
Drums Are For Parades.
Or so they say…we're not sure that when the name was coined it was meant to be literal. In fact, truth be told, we don't even know where the name came from. Because like nearly everything else about DAFP – the answers to any questions just seem to lead to more questions…
What we do know to be fact. There are three of them. Sometimes four. The fourth "member" isn't a member, but another drummer. We know they were formed in Gent, Belgium sometime between 2008 and 2009. They recorded both their albums with one Niek Muel, himself from Gent music royalty. We know that somewhere deep in the anals of their history, one member was once once a member of Soulwax. We know this record is their second. And there the trail gets – well, blurry…
Shall we talk about the music? Or the live show. I'll do the live show first – my introduction to it was above a sports Arena in Antwerp. I'd heard the sonic mayhem of their first album, and was as curious as anyone else to see it with my own two eyes. As the three of them shuffled onstage and plugged in, I was immediately transported back to seeing the Melvins circa 1998. There was a lineage that went beyond the imposing Buzz-like figure of Wim R. DAFP's guitarist, occasional singer, and nominal "front man". As they turned their backs on us, and laid into a track off their debut album, all hell broke loose around me. I wasn't entirely sure whether it was the songs, or the sheer maelstrom of movement and music coming from the stage, but the audience bit down hard like a rabid pit bull and didn't let go…twenty minutes later, it was done. Ears ringing, I walked backstage to congratulate the band. 2 hours later I was watching drummer Piet pull shards of broken glass from his skull whilst waiting for an ambulance to turn up. That, as the cliché goes, was just typical of this particular group of atypical personalities…
So to the album you're probably already listening to. 'Master'. The title alone alludes to an audacity which imbues everything DAFP do. It's a whirlwind of razor sharp mutant sonic butterflies, with nods to everyone from Masters of Reality, to early Soundgarden, to Mike Patton's post-FNM work in Fantomas and Tomahawk. As I listened to the album for the first time I couldn't help but recall an incident 12 months earlier backstage in a field somewhere in Belgium. Watching Chris Goss bear hugging drummer Piet then berating the assorted Foo Fighters and Crooked Vultures around him that DAFP were the "heaviest band in all of Belgium". To be quite honest, I think rather than a Master Of Reality, in that moment he was a master of the understatement…

The AJ iPad edition is now available to download in the App Store and is free to subscribers until April 2013, announces Christine Murray
This is a landmark moment for the AJ in more than a century of publishing. When we last surveyed our subscribers, a number of you asked for the AJ to appear on iPad. Behind the scenes, we have been developing an iPad edition all summer. Now it gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of the AJ iPad edition, now available for download in the App Store and free to subscribers until April 2013.
Brought to you by the same team that designs the AJ in print, and built with the same software used to create iPad magazines such as Wired, we've worked hard to craft an edition that is in keeping with the AJ's tradition and style, while making the most of the additional features offered by this new platform.
The navigation follows a few simple rules: swipe up to read the rest of an article; swipe across to move forward to the next feature; tap a photograph to view it full screen; tap a number to view drawing annotations; pinch and zoom to enlarge an image or detail.
As for interactivity, we've lavished the most attention on the building studies, which include interactive floor plans and technical drawings, bonus photography, maps and video. Pinch and zoom into photography or drawings for more detail; tap annotations to view their location on the drawings, or tap the numbers on the drawings to highlight their annotation. We've also included links to supplementary content online, either on the AJ website, or on AJBuildingsLibrary.co.uk.
Thank you to the architects who attended our iPad focus groups. Your insight is invaluable and I know that you'll recognise your input in the final product. But our journey isn't complete - we'll be evolving the design of the iPad edition in line with feedback from our subscribers; so please let us know how we can make the AJ iPad experience better for you.
We believe we've created a great new way to enjoy the AJ every week, delivered into your hands every Thursday morning, ensuring you're the first to read our news, comment and analysis.
But please go ahead and download it in the App Store and let us know what you think! Follow the instructions for existing subscribers to log in. It's free to all subscribers until April and, for non-subscribers, there's a free issue in the app for you to sample. What happens in April? Once the free trial is complete, we'll be launching several new subscription packages, to give you more choice about how you receive your AJ.
Having said all that, we know how much the magazine means to you, and we will continue to produce the weekly AJ in print every week. The iPad edition is a welcome addition to our digital channels, which include TheAJ.co.uk and the AJBuildingsLibrary.co.uk. Over the coming weeks, we'll also be launching a new AJ CPD portal on our website, too, to assist you in meeting your annual CPD requirements.
On all our platforms, we strive to produce the content you expect from the AJ: well designed, well researched, and created for architects.
You asked for it. We built it. The AJ is now on iPad
The new iPad: What architects need to know
Readers' comments (7)
I have been using the iPad app for the past couple of weeks and it is very good. It is easy to navigate, intuitive and projects the AJ brand well although I hope a positive repsonse to the app doesn't mean the phasing out of the printed magazine.

Thanks for your comment, John. There are absolutely no plans to phase out the print edition, we're just adding new ways to enjoy the AJ. Glad you like it. We'll be evolving the edition as we go, so all feedback welcome on how we can make it better and better.
Any chance of an android version for those of us not enthralled to Apple?
We're looking into this, but starting with one platform at a time
Any update on the possibility of digital editions on android?
300 million smartphones shipped in Q1 2014, 80% of those were Android. (ABI Research)
Ian: no - not as yet.
Our website has been optimised for your mobile however.
And our own research has shown most architects use Apple rather than windows or android tablets.

One of the reasons financial literacy is so abysmally low among Americans is simply the fact that the subject itself is somewhat of a taboo.
Parents hide their financial woes from children to protect them. Spouses hide their financial mistakes to save face in front of their partners. And children grow up thinking money is a dirty word that parents fight about, that student loan applications are simply too confusing to bother deciphering, and that if they overdraw their bank accounts, then it must be the Big Bad bank's fault.
It's a vicious cycle, and although the fallout from the Great Recession left most people a little more open to the idea of discussing their money woes, the improvement in the economy may be giving them an excuse to go mum again.
The latest COUNTRY Financial Security Index® survey shows just how far consumers will go to get around opening up about their finances.
More than 60% of Americans said they'd rather divulge their weight rather than talk about the state of their wallet. Not surprisingly, men turned out to be more self conscious about money than their pants size. Nearly 70% of the fellows said they'd rather fess up about their weight, compared to just 58% of women.
But there's more to the picture. Men are more apt to lie about their finances in general –– 22% said they've lied about their money, versus 18% of women.
The bottom line: It's high time Americans did away with the stigma surrounding personal finance. It's one thing to keep your salary private from coworkers, but the simple act of commiserating over financial strife can help send home to others –– including ourselves –– the most important message of all: We are not alone. We are not all idiots. We are all in this mess together.
Helaine Olen, the author of "Pound Foolish: Exposing the Dark Side of the Personal Finance Industry," says it best in the final paragraph of her book:
"If honesty about our personal prospects helps us as individuals, imagine what such a thing could do fo us collectively. It could empower us to insist on changes that will benefit us all."

The nephew of former billionaire Sean Quinn is on the run from a jail sentence in Ireland as the family dynasty collapses – and relatives are concerned for his well being.
Peter Quinn Jr was sentenced to three months jail time for contempt of court on Friday along with his cousin Sean Jr.
The pair were found guilty of contempt of court and jailed for three months each as the Quinn family contest the downfall of their financial empire.
Sean Jr is already behind bars at Mountjoy prison in Dublin and his father has been given time to consider his attitude to the court in the case.
But Peter Quinn Jr, son of the former GAA president Peter, remains on the run.
Irish police searched his known addresses in the Republic and sources in the North claim he is not at the family home in Fermanagh.
Police from the Republic are powerless to act upon his Dublin summons across the border and cannot issue a European warrant as the case is a civil one.
The Irish Sun newspaper reports that his family have voiced concerns about his 'well-being and the difficult and frightening' situation he finds himself in.
Cousin Ciara Quinn told the paper: "I haven't spoken to Peter and I don't know where he is. But when you are ordered by a court to do something which physically cannot be done, that leaves you in a very difficult and frightening place."
The Quinns were found in contempt after a court order was issued forcing them to reverse a scheme whereby assets were put out of the reach of the former Anglo Irish Bank, one of their main creditors.
Sean Quinn Sr has issued a statement decrying the jail sentence and criticising the bankrupt bank which has been bailed out by the Irish taxpayer.
In his statement, Quinn said: "Anglo have treated us like dogs and have tried to put the entire family out on the road with the sole purpose of ensuring my wife and children would not be in a position to challenge the bank's illegal lending.
"My family have stood up to the bank that took everything from them. This is what you do with bullies.
"My son has now been jailed for failing to do something which he cannot do, whilst five years on, no one affiliated with Anglo's illegal practices have yet been brought to justice."
Peter Quinn Jr got a relative to ring his solicitor on Friday morning and inform him that he wouldn't attend the court hearing as he was 'ill'.
The judge noted that he had been well enough the previous evening to file affidavits in the early hours and said that, bar hospitalization, there was no reason he should not have appeared before her.

First Nations Take On the Tar Sands
Video courtesy of capitalnewslonine
Clayton Thomas-Müller is an environmental and indigenous rights activist. One of his current projects is fighting against the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline that would carry tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada across the Midwestern United States to Texas refineries.
The Indigenous Environmental Network co-organized a rally to protest Keystone XL, following the high-visibility U.S. protests in Washington, D.C. earlier this year. Despite assurances from TransCanada that the pipeline will pose little environmental risk, the company's track record does not inspire confidence in citizens concerned about its impact. The Keystone 1 Pipeline, which was put into action June 2010, has experienced more than a dozen leaks in its first year of operation.
Thomas-Müller says there is "no greater example of the unsustainable path this country has set upon than the Canadian tar sands," and that we "have a moral imperative to stand up and fight for the sacraments of mother earth and guarantee our children and our children's children will have access to the same natural wonders and beauty."
A controversial move to prohibit oil imported from what's been called the world's dirtiest fuel source could be an example for the rest of us.
Clayton Thomas-Müller is working to keep corporations from privatizing the atmosphere, as they have privatized the land and exploited the natural resources that once belonged to the First Nations of Canada.

Foiled by Studio On Fire
That's right folks, we've added hot foil stamping to our repertoire of specialty in-house processes. One of the best things about foil is, unlike our letterpress inks which are transparent, foil is opaque, allowing us to apply a lighter color on a dark background (see this blog post to read about letterpress printing with white inks on black stocks).
As designers we love(!) tiny type, but as printers, we know there are limits to what is realistically achievable. With that in mind we created a set of specimen cards, exploring different type sizes using the two fonts we use for our identity. From the reasonable 11pt type all the way down to the petite 5pt italic Baskerville, the foil held up pretty well, though the fidelity at these sizes can't always be guaranteed–it's going to change from typeface to typeface.
With letterpress printing we recommend tracking out your type (at least to 25 or 50) to give room for impression between letters. For foiling we recommend the same, this keeps letterforms from merging into one blobby mess on press.
We found that the metallic foils (gold, silver, copper, etc) released a lot cleaner than some of the pigment foils (colored foils, such as the blue foil shown below). We definitely wouldn't recommend getting too tiny with the pigment foils.

tonight on cool2craft, i demoed this cute "mood doll" using a mini board book for the body and fantastiques paper dolls. i was inspired by another project in the book, board book play, that debra cooper made.
inside each spread of pages is a body (the popcorn, stop sign, tin can) attached on the left with velcro, and the head and limbs attached on the right with brads. there is also a piece of velcro on the front cover. depending on how you are feeling, you swing out the paper doll that suits your mood. i put a magnet on the back cover so it can hang on the fridge or a file cabinet at work.
we have the jester for feeling happy, the sumo for feeling angry, and the skeleton for feeling dead tired at the end of a long day. so easy to make...fun for kids and grown-ups too!

Numerous reports, including one published recently by Reuters, claim that Apple's next-generation iPhone 5S will include a new fingerprint scanner. Making use of technology gained from the AuthenTec acquisition, Apple's new iPhone may provide enhanced security and other features that make use of an embedded scanner. While rumors have been flying for months, a newly published Apple patent may finally reveal some specific information regarding how Apple's new fingerprint scanner will work.
The iPhone 5S may indeed be Apple's first "S" phone to include a major hardware revision, and a recently filed patent uncovered by Patently Apple could detail the technology that will be featured in Apple's new phone. The patent describes a fingerprint scanning mechanism that is incorporated into the bezel of a device like the iPhone, and that could be used to provide secure authentication for a variety of functions.
Details can be found on Patently Apple's site, which is linked below.

CNN boss Jeff Zucker tries broad makeover for network
For a few minutes the other night, the hot topic on CNN was . . . bacon. The panel on a new prime-time show called "(Get to) The Point" came out boldly in favor of it.
"I had a double order this morning at breakfast," confessed Jason Taylor, the pro-football-player-turned-"Dancing With the Stars"-contestant-turned-TV-gabber. "But there's a restaurant in Miami. . . . You know, they have a great bar. They don't serve bar nuts. They have bacon."
"Wow!" responded Margaret Hoover, a fellow panelist.
CNN says "(Get to) The Point," a mixed-gender knockoff of "The View," is an experimental program that was swiftly canceled after its four-night tryout last week. So it's unwise to draw too many firm conclusions. Except for this one: This isn't the old CNN.
The old CNN, which created and defined cable news, has been wheezing and sputtering for years. The old CNN was bypassed in sizzle (and audience ratings) by Fox News Channel and MSNBC long ago. On most nights safe-and-serious CNN finishes fourth in the cable news rankings, behind even little HLN, a sister network that specializes in lurid trials and whose star is Nancy Grace, cable's Cruella de Vil.
Hence, "(Get to) The Point," which is part of the throw-it-against-the-wall strategy that new CNN chief Jeff Zucker has employed since arriving at CNN's Manhattan newsroom in January.
Zucker, 48, has come into his new job like a man rummaging through the contents of a cluttered attic. He has hired, fired and reshuffled anchors and hosts (out: Soledad O'Brien, Ali Velshi), added new producers and pared CNN's long list of talking heads (out: Mary Matalin, James Carville, Roland Martin, Bill Bennett). He has whipped a sports show onto the weekend schedule and added a newsy weekday afternoon program, hosted by ABC News defector Jake Tapper.
Coming soon: a food-and-travel program with celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain on Sundays and a new morning program for weekdays. The latter will be co-anchored by another big-ticket hire from ABC, Chris Cuomo, and rising star Kate Bolduan (CNN evening host Erin Burnett declined the reassignment to mornings). The early hours are Zucker's wheelhouse -- he made his name as executive producer of NBC's "Today" show in the 1990s -- so his morning makeover will be a closely watched test of CNN's direction.
These moves haven't done much yet to goose the network's woebegone ratings. They have, however, simultaneously invigorated and terrified its employees. Many of them have been used to doing things "the CNN way" -- that is, thoughtfully, deliberately . . . and in a manner very likely to drive viewers to Bravo or TLC.
"He's transformed the energy," says one of CNN's Washington journalists, among several who asked not to be named so as not to pre-empt the new boss. "Zucker," he adds, "wasn't brought in to tinker. He was brought in to blow up the place."
The question pinging around the hallways in CNN's news offices in New York, Washington and Atlanta is whether Jeff Zucker -- whose last network gig was a calamity -- can really fix the network's problems.
Zucker has already begun to tweaking CNN's news coverage. In January, while other networks covered political stories, CNN aired Beyonce's post-inauguration, pre-Super Bowl news conference live. Much to the chagrin of some of CNN's old guard, the network went wall to wall in February with the disabled Carnival Cruise ship as it limped back to port. CNN also gave ample airtime in early March to the death of a Florida man who was swallowed by a sinkhole. Stealing a bit of HLN's mojo, it has sprinkled reports about the trial of accused boyfriend-killer Jodi Arias throughout its newscasts.
Some of the spirit of "(Get to) The Point" pervades CNN's daily programming. Each weekday afternoon, a panel of young quipsters chews over topics big and small, but mostly small. One of the debates last week was about the merits of new, smaller airline toilets. A few minutes later, anchor Don Lemon, who hosted the gabby panel, segued uneasily into reporting about a possible North Korean missile attack.
Zucker wasn't available to discuss the lighter, brighter (and perhaps dumber) CNN he seems to be molding; he has declined all media interviews since his arrival. CNN also prohibited any of its senior executives to speak for the record. The network's chief spokeswoman, Allison Gollust, initially offered to answer a reporter's questions on an off-the-record basis; she later had no response to a list of questions.
The most charitable view, from inside and outside CNN, is that Zucker's remodel is a work in progress.
"I wouldn't read anything into his first two months," says Phil Griffin, the president of rival MSNBC. "This is going to take years. They've got to figure out what works and what doesn't. The idea that you can figure it out by April 1st is crazy. Check back on April 1st, 2014, and you'll know the direction."
If anyone can relate to Zucker's challenge, it might be Griffin, a longtime NBC News hand who worked with, and then under, Zucker. A half-dozen years ago, MSNBC was languishing -- unfocused, unpredictable, a grab bag of news and blab. Since then, it has stutter-stepped forward, surpassing CNN in overall ratings in 2011 and fighting to within view of the dust cloud kicked up by Fox News, the longtime leader.
The obvious thing about MSNBC was that it embraced a passionately liberal perspective, segmenting the audience from the conservative Fox and the middle-of-the-road CNN. The less-obvious thing, says Griffin, is how it did it: by patiently developing a roster of home-grown, out-of-the box personalities -- Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Chris Hayes and Joe Scarborough's "Morning Joe" crew. All started as guests or contributors, he notes, not as established TV personalities hired for their star power.
In perhaps a veiled message to his old boss, Griffin offers a sports analogy: "When a team buys stars, you never know if the chemistry is right for the team or the fans. When you grow [from within], you know the chemistry is right."
Zucker probably doesn't take much advice. Always hyper-competitive, Zucker, the son of a cardiologist father and schoolteacher mother, built himself into a top-ranked prep tennis player while growing up in Miami's suburbs. In high school, he served as president of his sophomore, junior and senior classes (the 5-foot-6 Zucker once ran on the slogan "The little man with the big ideas").
As a Harvard University undergrad, he became the top editor of the school paper, the Crimson; one of his dormitory mates was a student named Conan O'Brien. Zucker first encountered O'Brien, the editor of the rival Lampoon, when O'Brien stole issues of the Crimson as a prank.
Recruited by NBC while in his first year of law school, Zucker began a remarkable sprint through the network's ranks. He began as a researcher on NBC's coverage of the 1988 Olympic Games; within five years, he had risen to executive producer of "Today." Zucker spent the next eight years building on "Today's" ratings dominance and its status as NBC News' cash cow. His reward: promotion to network head in 2000. By 2007, he was running NBC's conglomerate parent, NBCUniversal.
But Zucker's tenure at NBC was tempestuous, to say the least. The network tumbled from its "must-see TV" golden era to its "Fear Factor" nadir. It went from first in the ratings to fourth, and often fifth place behind Univision's Spanish-language programs and popular cable fare. In a score-settling book published last year, Warren Littlefield, Zucker's predecessor, wrote: "The Zuckerization of [NBC] in recent years has been marked by the belief that viewers exist to be manipulated rather than nourished."
Zucker's boldest move as NBC's top executive was to install Jay Leno as the host of a nightly variety show at 10 p.m. and his old classmate, O'Brien, as host of "The Tonight Show." The host switch lasted seven months in 2009 and early 2010, becoming perhaps the greatest public-relations debacle in TV history. Zucker departed with more than $30 million in severance payments in 2010.
In his new job, Zucker has won plaudits from his troops by refusing the large executive office offered to him at Time Warner's headquarters just off Central Park. He instead settled in at CNN's New York newsroom, where he participates in the 9 a.m. story conference on most days.
Reporters who've met with Zucker at small breakfast and dinner meetings over the past two months describe him as loose and funny in these sessions, during which he responds to questions and criticism.
"I like him," said another Washington-based CNN employee, who also declined to be identified due to "the sensitivity of the situation," as he put it. "It's clear we need some fresh ideas. It seems to me, he has a great instinct for what people want to watch on TV. I think he knows what makes good water-cooler TV."
CNN ratings troubles -- the audience has dropped 37 percent over the past six years -- have long been masked by rising profits generated by Time Warner's many cable and digital properties. But in recent years, CNN's inability to attract viewers consistently has begun to make a noticeable dent. The network's advertising revenue fell 10 percent last year, to an estimated $313.6 million, according to Derek Baine, senior analyst at SNL Kagan, an independent research firm.
That's a stunning fall in an industry used to solid annual growth. But it's even more alarming to CNN's masters at Time Warner because it came in an election year, typically the most profitable for cable news.
CNN still captures a premium from advertisers relative to competitors. Baine estimates that sponsors pay $5.96 to reach a thousand viewers on CNN, compared with $5.02 for a thousand on Fox and $4.19 on MSNBC.
Why? "It's a safer place to be" for advertisers, says Gabriel Kahn, co-director of the media economics and entrepreneurship program at the University of Southern California's Annenberg journalism school. "It can be a more boring place to be a viewer, but for an advertiser, you're not going to hear: 'Obama was born in Indonesia. Let's go to a commercial!' "
That presents Zucker with a thread-the-needle challenge: Get lively, but stay classy and in the middle. Any effort to jerk CNN to the right or the left might win a few more viewers, but it might also scare some advertisers.
"The cardinal rule of Washington is also the cardinal rule of TV: Don't alienate your base," says Frank Sesno, a former CNN anchor who is now a professor of media and public affairs at George Washington University. "But CNN doesn't have the luxury of staying the same."
Thus far, Zucker has yet to address CNN's biggest issue: its prime-time schedule.
With the exception of Larry King's celebrity-interview show, CNN's nighttime block has been like that Florida sinkhole, swallowing TV careers. The list of flamed-out hosts -- Connie Chung, Paula Zahn, Jeff Greenfield, Aaron Brown, Lou Dobbs, Campbell Brown, Eliot Spitzer and Kathleen Parker -- is long and figures to grow. Insiders say the inability to develop a strong slate from 7 to 11 p.m., the most-watched period in TV, encouraged Time Warner to show Jim Walton, Zucker's predecessor, to the exits last year.
The most vulnerable host these days may be King's successor, Piers Morgan, whose already anemic ratings at 9 p.m. fell again during the first quarter. Anderson Cooper, perhaps CNN's signature personality, is a weak fourth among the cable news shows at 8 p.m. People at CNN say his job is in no jeopardy.
Zucker's first important programming move appears unlikely to break CNN's doldrums. Tapper's 4 p.m. program, "The Lead," debuted in mid-March to ratings that were lower than than the program it bumped, "The Situation Room." They've fallen since.
Sesno thinks CNN needs to find a wholly new tone. Hire a few BBC-style interviewers to confront newsmakers, he advises, or even a Jon Stewart-like satirist. And while they're at it, cover more breaking news and find ways to integrate TV news with digital delivery, including CNN.com, the network's popular website.
Zucker "shouldn't let the urgent get in the way of the important," he says. "They need to find a format or formula that is a fundamental departure from the way it's been done before. Break with tradition! And then stick with it and promote it so people can find you."
Not so easy, of course.
No, agrees Sesno. The new boss, he says, has a critical patient on the table. And it will take guts and brains, and perhaps a little magic, for the operation to succeed.

Yasamine – Jdeideh
Fusion Cuisine Café and Restaurant
Food:International, Lebanese
Price:Between 14$ and 25$
Review by Souad
Yasamine in Fanar, Metn, started out life in 2010. The restaurant has two floors decorated in vivid colors with dominant violet. A big bar in Ground floor offers a wide variety of drinks.
The approach to food here is to combine traditional recipes with the contemporary ways of cooking. The menu covers a whole range of cuisines: Mexican, Italian, American in addition to Lebanese mezze, grills, manakish and fakhar.
The service is good. However, if you do not like the smell of arguile, you won't be happy there as the place gets really smoky. Free wifi is available inside the restaurant.
n.b. The restaurant has a neighboring separate building "Yasamine Express" dedicated for cooking, delivery and take away.

Nov 1, 2013 at 10:32Yasamine cafe great place, great food but bad reception and bad supervisor, my advise to Yasamine owner to change the supervisor.
Nov 1, 2013 at 11:10Yasamine cafe tried to cheat with the bill, for example the garlic bread on the menu is for 6.000LL but on the bill they put it 10.000.
Mar 22, 2014 at 08:54I felt I was eating in a bakery. Very bad food.
Sep 7, 2015 at 12:17You are right. Nothing special with this restaurant. Even less than a bakery average. Overpriced & the supervisor is not polite at all.
Sep 7, 2015 at 11:59Very bad place. very bad service. the surpervisor/manager is mentally unstable they should change him. unfortunately I invited some friends to this restaurant but frankly i was ashamed of this bad choice :-( never visit it again
Nov 1, 2013 at 11:30I went to Yasamine restaurant yesterday. The welcome was awful. The food was good and was served immediately. The supervisor was not friendly at all. The Chawarma platter was not available but the chawarma pizza was. They tried to cheat with the bill: For example the garlic bread was priced on the menu 6000 L.L but on the bill was 10.000 so we had to recheck it with the supervisor who, believe me, was not friendly at all.

November issue of Ostoearthritis and Cartilage, 27/11, available online now at:
The purpose of this initiative is to update and expand upon prior Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) guidelines by developing patient-focused treatment recommendations for individuals with Knee, Hip, and Polyarticular osteoarthritis (OA) that are derived from expert consensus and based on objective review of high-quality meta-analytic data.
Recommendations for Conducting Clinical Trials in Osteoarthritis
May issue of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 23/5, available online now at:
Eleven separate working groups composed of OARSI members have developed guidelines for conducting clinical trials in the areas of:
- Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip and hand
- Surgical trials
- Non pharmacologic therapies including Diet/Exercise, Injury Prevention, and Post Surgery Rehabilitation
- Biomarkers
- Imaging/radiology of knee, hip, hand
- Implementation
- Biostatistical issues
This initiative is a good example of OARSI endeavors that aim for collaborative and fruitful discussions involving academic and industry members. OARSI Clinical Trial Guidelines are used by scientists, graduate students and clinical investigators worldwide and serve as the benchmark trial design. Guideline authors serve as authoritative leaders, mentors and collaborators for researchers developing progressively more advanced levels of investigation.
For the first time, OARSI has developed guidelines for the non-surgical treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee that are stratified to each of four patient groups: patients with knee-only OA and no comorbidities, patients with knee-only OA with comorbidities, patients with multi-joint OA and no comorbidities, and patients with multi-joint OA with comorbidities. Comorbities included diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, renal failure, GI bleeding, depression, or a physical impairment limiting activity, including obesity.
After a comprehensive review of the current scientific evidence, each working group member gave each treatment a score for appropriateness, therapeutic benefit, and overall risk for each of the four different patient populations. These scores were converted into a recommendation category of either "appropriate", "not appropriate", or "uncertain" and a composite risk-benefit score.
It is important to note that an "uncertain" recommendation is NOT a negative recommendation, nor is it meant to rule out the use of a therapy. Instead, this category means that the working group found too little scientific evidence to support a recommendation or that a treatment has a moderately high risk profile coupled with low efficacy. As such, "uncertain" treatments should be weighed by physicians and patients for merit in specific, individual circumstances.
The new guidelines recommend a set of non-pharmacological core treatments as appropriate for all individuals (listed in order from highest benefit-to-risk score to lowest): land-based exercise, weight management, strength training, water-based exercise, and self-management and education. For weight management, the OARSI guidelines make a specific recommendation of achieving a 5% weight loss within a 20-week period to be effective at treating knee OA.
Key Updates to the 2010 OARSI Guidelines:
- Topical NSAIDs are recommended as appropriate for all patients with knee-only OA and in a scientific review, were found overall to be safer and better tolerated compared to oral NSAIDs.
- The prescription drug duloxetine was evaluated for the first time and found to be an appropriate treatment for knee-only OA patients without comorbidities and all multi-joint OA patients.
- Due to increased safety concerns about toxicity, acetaminophen/paracetamol was given an "uncertain" recommendation for all patients with comorbidities.
- Oral and transdermal opioid painkillers were given an "uncertain" recommendation for all patient groups due to concerns about increased risks for adverse and serious adverse events.
- Glucosamine and chondroitin were both found to be "not appropriate" for all patients when used for disease modification and "uncertain" for all patients when used for symptom relief.
- Balneotherapy, defined as using baths containing thermal mineral waters, was evaluated for the first time and found to be an appropriate therapy for patients with multi-joint OA and comorbidities, as this group has few other treatment options.

Giant universe: Pavilion's inaugural awesome
Oh, there was talk– all kinds of talk. There were optimists and pessimists. There were supporters and naysayers. Seems like for the last two weeks, all that was talked about was whether the work crew would have the Charlottesville Pavilion finished in time for the grand opening. From an outside perspective, it seemed like a nearly impossible task.
Those who had doubts definitely had more words in their mouths after that big storm came, tearing down trees in the city center. And trees and power lines weren't the only tragedy. One half of massive amphitheatre tarp that had only just been erected a few days earlier also fell to nature's wrath. Rumors flew that the entire piece was custom ordered from Hungary and would take at least 40 days to replace.
Still, advertisements reassured us that the shows planned for the following week would go on. Karl Denson's Tiny Universe was scheduled to deliver a free inaugural performance Wednesday, July 27 with hometown funk-boy openers Man Mountain jr. As a matter of fact, blistering heat and afternoon rains were hampering efforts for several days leading up to that Wednesday.
Imagine everyone's surprise when all the lighting rigs and sound equipment magically appeared Wednesday, ready to be fired up. What had been a pit of Virginia mud and red clay had been completely filled with concrete and fresh sod– ready for the thousand or so folk who would dance, sit, or stand.
Just like that. Wednesday evening rolled around to find the facility fully staffed– powder-blue t-shirts, walkie-talkies, electronic ticket counters, the whole nine yards. The impossible had been made possible. By 7:30pm the place was already filling up with the curious and the eager.
A storm cloud threatened to put a damper on the carryings-on, but that didn't stop the energy from flowing freely about the facility. I made my way to the backstage area to get a feel for what the behind-the-scene folk were talking about. The sound and lighting crew were all optimistic about a great show.
When Man Mountain Jr. got into their set, the whole facility came alive. The sound was huge– I'm talkin' massive! You could hear the performance clearly all the way down the Mall to Blue Light Grill. Man Mountain dove into a short opening set sounding better and more inspired than I've ever heard them. How could they be anything short of amazing, knowing they were the first band to play notes at this brand new multi-million dollar facility?
After a very short stage change-over, Karl Denson and his Tiny Universe stepped to the stage to a gracious reception. K.D. is known on the festival circuit as one certified badass. James Brown himself wouldn't have been a better act to christen the spot with the requisite soul to bring the Charlottesville Pavilion to life.
Karl Denson's Tiny Universe played one long 90-minute set of relentless funk, jazz, and soul music. If that guy doesn't have great musicians in his entourage, then I don't know who does. The drummer and guitarists are world class. The bassist is rock solid. Mix that with Karl Denson's husky five-foot five-inch frame packed with more saxophone skill than a little bit, and you have one hell of a show.
I hung backstage almost the entire time watching the band from my first-person vantage point. Just looking out over the crowd of people in one space dancing and smiling really puts everything in perspective. I mean, just two weeks before, no one thought it could be done. And there I was looking out at our community, all of us aware that the trials and hardships we'd gone through to get to that point were well worth it.

Can anyone give me some general guidance on wave sailing windsurfers in the 7.5 to 8 foot range? What range should I be looking for? What is the trade off for planning versus surfing? Many thanks.

You mean a treatist on wave sailing rocker evolution?
Kinda a big call.
Personal preference plays a huge role.
How many fins are we talking?
Sideshore, sideoff, or side on?
Emphasis on jumping and pinching to catch waves or actual riding DTL?
Look at current wave boards. Most have less rocker than 20 years ago, but are wider than the old boards.
And of course, manufacture perferences, as some go for increased tail rocker, while other's prefer a flatter tail rocker.

thx zirtaeb, I am looking for a board that will give me some fun in Florida smallish beach break. Generally hard on shore, but the occasional groomed offshore day. I know I will need to cruise the outside and pick carefully, but I want to make sure I am not underestimating the wave riding needs. So, waist high plus junky beach break, afternoon seabreeze. Thruster setup, no jumping, just riding. I am looking for something in the 8 to maybe 9 foot range, if there is such a thing.
all the best

Length doesn't tell you or us much, as there are hundreds of boards in the size ranges you've suggested that would be great fun in your conditions. So far, the biggest unknowns are probably what you weigh and what your wind strength and quality are.

You might want to post your volume requirements, sail sizing, and your sizing.
Currently, there are few wave riding choices over 100 liters. So if you're a big guy, a custom board might be in order.
Then wind strengths. Some use SUP's in Florida, while other's make do with 120 liter FSW's.

i spend about 80% of my sailing days in florida surf. one does need planing over turning. what good is turning if one cannot plane, correct?
as an example of what worx well for me:
they plane early, go fast in order to out run trouble in the impact zone. ride waves pretty darn well too.
curve 11'5 has worked well for me and gotten me on the water 5-6 times more than anyone else for years prior to the SUP'ing thing. i still haven't SUP'ed much, but windSUP lots.
windSUP 11'8 gets me on the water the soonest.
not believing in the multi fin thing much. adds more drag than ability to accelerate for me. another application of maui being over emphasized for mainland. i see far too many people getting little to zero time in florida with quatro's and the like. save your money and frustration and get something with planing and instant top end instead.

I lived in Fort Pierce, Florida for two years and sailed both a "true" waveboard (Starboard Evo 83 liters) and a "freestyle-wave" board (Exocet Cross 106 liters). I still have both boards, but now I'm on the west coast of Florida where there's no wind and no waves. SIGH.
Anyway, both boards can plane, but the lower volume and wavier rocker of the Evo means that it requires significantly more wind to plane than the Cross does. Also, because of the low volume and short length, it's very difficult to even make it go at all in less than fully planing conditions. So unless I have enough wind to consistently waterstart and plane with a 5.5 or smaller sail (about 20 mph for my 160 pounds), I leave the Evo in the van and use the Cross.
Sometimes even when I could potentially be using the Evo I still use the Cross, because it's nice to have the extra speed and acceleration when you're trying to get out through the waves.
Basically, unless the wind is very strong and consistent, which is extremely rare in Florida, you are better off with a freestyle wave board than a pure wave board.
5-15 mph: Use a sailable SUP or something like the Exocet Curve 11'5" or 10'5".
15-20 mph: Use a freestyle waveboard with enough volume that it planes early and you can uphaul the sail if you need to.
20-25 mph: Can use a freestyle waveboard or a pure waveboard depending on your preference.
25+ mph: Most likely want to be on a pure waveboard, but some actually will still prefer the freestyle waveboard.

another thing i forgot to mention. upwind power comes from a straighter rocker and more powerful rail up front. cross boards have the perfect blend of rocker, thickness flow and planforms for most florida dayz in waves. i get my best backside aerials with either the curve 11'5 or the cross 114 and 104.
my favorite all time wave board is the 205 Exo-Wave 105 Pro edition. never seen its equal since. it does, however, kinda stink on flat water. just a bit too much orientation for waves. that's why i recommend the cross.
i have the X-Wave 111, but have not had a truly good day to compare it vs the 105.
BTW, i believe the emphasis on going short is getting a bit over done. 245 length seems to be about perfect for my needs.

In 1984, while working at WiseSurfboards, I ordered a 7'7" x 23" twin fin swallow tail wave riding board from RobinProdanovich (Local Motion). I specified thickness, rocker every 12", bottom shape (slight rolled V to deep flat V with 1/4" rocker every 6" from center of straps thru the tail), 40 cm wide tail OFO, with slalom placement double outside rear straps.
Robin had Rusty and some Brewer shapers over to look at this abberation, and most joked it was exactly that.
Well, fast forward to 2012, and guess what, it's STATE OF THE ART light to medium wind wave riding specs!

$9M outdoor pot farm found north of Huntsville
Madison County sheriff's officials have pulled the plug on a massive outdoor marijuana grow operation valued at $9 million, investigators said.
After receiving a call from the Madison County Sheriff's Office, officers with the Texas Department of Public Safety's Criminal Investigations Division descended on the rural property on FM 247 in Madison County, just north of Huntsville.
There, officers seized about 18,400 plants that if sold on the streets would net about $9 million in illicit proceeds, according to a press release from the sheriff's office.
Investigators also seized tents, clothing, batteries, fertilizer and other items believed left behind by the illegal growers.
"Our division remains focused on investigating domestic marijuana growing operations and bringing justice to those persons responsible," the DPS said in a prepared statement.
The Madison County District Attorney's Office also is assisting in the case.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.

Decision to join World Series champs easy for A.J.
BOSTON -- For veteran catcher A.J. Pierzynski, choosing the Boston Red Sox over the other teams who pursued him was one of the easiest decisions of his career. After all, only one team won the World Series last season.
"Obviously, it's not every day you get a chance to play for the defending World Series champions, and looking at the organization and looking at what they have coming back, it's definitely a chance to win again," Pierzynski said.
BOSTON -- For veteran catcher A.J. Pierzynski, choosing the Boston Red Sox over the other teams who pursued him was one of the easiest decisions of his career. After all, only one team won the World Series last season.
"Obviously, it's not every day you get a chance to play for the defending World Series champions, and looking at the organization and looking at what they have coming back, it's definitely a chance to win again," Pierzynski said.
Pierzynski knows what it feels like to win the final baseball game of the postseason. And the Red Sox have done that two more times since he did that with the White Sox in 2005.
"I've won once, and once you win once, you want to try to do it again," Pierzynski said.. "So it was an opportunity to come to a place where you know they're competitive, and you know that they want to win and they try to win every year."
Sizing up the Red Sox to have the best chance at winning of the teams who went after him, Pierzynski, who turns 37 later this month, had no hesitation about taking a one-year deal which will pay him $8.25 million. The deal was officially announced on Wednesday, one day after Pierzynski took a physical.
"Yeah, there were multiyear offers out there, but in the end, I think winning kind of won out over everything," Pierzynski said.
And for the Red Sox, who have a wave of young catchers coming through their farm system -- Christian Vazquez and Blake Swihart are two that stand out -- Pierzynski represented the perfect short-term solution to pair with David Ross.
"I think A.J. represents a lot of what we were looking for at the outset of the offseason when it came to the catcher position," Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. "I think, as we made it clear earlier in the offseason, we really wanted to do two things at the catcher position. We wanted to maintain that position as a strength going into 2014, and also [do what was best] for the long term."
Pierzynski had a track record that Cherington could appreciate.
"He's been an everyday catcher, a very good everyday catcher, for a long time. He's been on a lot of really good teams," Cherington said. "He's caught a lot of good pitchers, he's been part of a lot of good pitching staffs. He's obviously a threat with the bat. We think he complements our roster well."
For all that has been said and written over the years about Pierzynski's strong personality, Cherington kept with the blueprint that worked so well for him last winter in finding another player who eats, breathes and sleeps baseball.
"Again, as we look at free agents or guys in trade or whatever, we're looking for guys who not just want to win, but love to play and really are looking forward to coming to Boston," Cherington said. "Aside from his talent, A.J. represented all of that. We just felt like it was the best fit for us."
There were a lot of people Pierzynski could consult with before making his decision. Johnny Damon has been one of his best friends since childhood. Pierzynski remains tight with David Ortiz from their time together in Minnesota. Juan Nieves, Boston's pitching coach, was the bullpen coach with Pierzynski's White Sox for many years. Jake Peavy was a batterymate of Pierzynski's in Chicago. And even a chance meeting with Mark Kotsay in Hawaii helped persuade Pierzynski that Boston was the place for him.
"Yeah, I talked to all of them," Pierzynski said. "I talked to David all the time, actually. And I talked to him not only in the World Series, when I was obviously doing stuff for FOX, but in the winter. Peavy -- who I love that people say Jake and I don't get along -- Jake and I talk all the time, and we get along great.
"They all said, 'Hey man, if you get an opportunity to come, you've got to take it,' and that definitely weighed in Boston's favor. And also the fact that, it was funny, I was in Hawaii and I was on vacation with my family, and I ran into Mark Kotsay, an ex-Red Sox guy. He kind of aksed me where things stood, and I was giving him some teams that had called.
"And he was like, 'Dude, if you get a chance to go to Boston, you have to go.' Every person I've talked to has had a positive experience there. They love it there, and they all said, 'Hey, if you have an opportunity to come, you've got to come.' I was grateful that Ben and the Red Sox reached out and gave me that opportunity."
The Red Sox could have gone with the status quo and re-signed Jarrod Saltalamacchia, but they preferred a shorter-term solution. Saltalamacchia agreed with the Miami Marlins for three years.
"In the end, we just felt like A.J. was the right fit for us," Cherington said. "With regards to Salty, we had a number of conversations with him. I'd rather not get into the specifics of those conversations, except to say we really appreciate everything he did. Certainly, Salty worked hard and overcame some adversity to become a very good primary catcher this year. He had a good year and put himself in a strong position going into free agency. We wish him well."
Pierzynski seems to get a chuckle out of his personality being such a talking point for people. He doesn't see anything but a smooth fit in Boston's clubhouse.
"Look, I'm just trying to fit in. I think last year going to Texas, I think I fit in pretty well over there," Pierzynski said. "And everything I've heard and talked to and guys that I know in the Red Sox's clubhouse are great. They are guys that I've known. I know [Shane] Victorino; I've known Jonny Gomes for a long time. Everyone says they want to win. That's all I want to do, so I don't think it should be that hard to fit in.
"All you want to do is go in there and win, and you just try to learn your place in the clubhouse and not try to step on people's toes and do anything out of normal. You find out what your role is on the team, and then you go with it and you do the best you can. This isn't my team. This is David Ortiz, this is Dustin Pedroia, this is those guys' team. I'm just a piece to try to help them win again."

Pope Warns Church Focusing Too Much on Gays, Abortion
Francis Sets Out Vision of More Welcoming Church, Less Preoccupied With Doctrine
Pope Francis warned that the Catholic Church had become so focused on abortion, gay marriage and other social issues that it risks overshadowing its pastoral mission, threatening to bring down the church "like a house of cards."
The pope's comments, part of a blunt, wide-ranging interview with the Italian Jesuit journal Civiltà Cattolica, didn't mark a break with church teaching. But they appeared intended to nudge the church away from politically charged issues by setting out a vision of a church that is more welcoming and less preoccupied with emphasizing doctrine.
With his remarks, Pope Francis appeared to put more distance between himself and his two predecessors, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II, who vocally reinforced traditional church dogma. Indeed, the interview came amid grumblings from some bishops—particularly in the U.S.—that the new pope has failed to issue strong pronouncements on divisive issues.
"We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods," said the 76-year-old pontiff, who came to power in March after the sudden resignation of Pope Benedict. "This is not possible. I have not spoken much about these things, and I was reprimanded for that.
"The teaching of the church, for that matter, is clear and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time," he said. "We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards."
His comments could signal dissatisfaction with the strong stance some church leaders have taken on the highly charged social issues. For instance, in an interview last week with a local Catholic newspaper, Rhode Island Bishop Thomas J. Tobin said that he was "a little bit disappointed in Pope Francis that he hasn't, at least that I'm aware of, said much about unborn children, about abortion, and many people have noticed that."
Interview Highlights
Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, has taken a leading role in denouncing gay-marriage initiatives as well as the contraceptive mandate in the Obama administration's health-care program.
On Thursday, Cardinal Dolan said that the pontiff's remarks show that "he is a man who profoundly believes in the mercy of a loving God, and who wants to bring that message of mercy to the entire world, including those who feel that they have been wounded by the church."
He added that he welcomed this "reminder that the clergy are primarily to serve as shepherds."
The 12,000-word interview, which touched on personal points such as the pope's favorite composer, artist, author and film (Mozart, Caravaggio, Dostoyevsky and Fellini's "La Strada"), was conducted in August. It was published simultaneously by Civiltà Cattolica and other Jesuit magazines globally on Thursday, and was reviewed before publication by the pope, the first Jesuit to be elected pontiff.
Thomas Groome, a professor of theology and religious education at Boston College, called the comments by the pope a shift away from his predecessors.
"He doesn't want to just harp on birth control and gay marriage, he wants to bring us back to compassion, mercy, outreach to the poor and inclusion of the marginalized," he said.
But Stephen Pope, another professor of theology at Boston College, said he didn't see the pope as scolding the U.S. bishops for the focus on cultural issues. "I don't think Pope Francis would do anything that the bishops would perceive to be undermining their efforts," he said. "They'll probably interpret this as broadening their agenda rather than cutting out their agenda."
Pope Francis, who has eschewed living in the grand papal apartments at the Vatican in favor of a modest guesthouse, has become enormously popular among many Catholics for his human touch. The church is facing a sharp drop-off in membership in the face of rising secularism and increased popularity of evangelical churches.
While he has affirmed Catholic teachings, he has opened the door to members of groups who have at times struggled in their relationship with the church, such as gays and women.
In the interview, the pope expanded on comments he made in July regarding homosexuals. On a return flight from a trip to Brazil, he said, "Who am I to judge a gay person of goodwill who seeks the Lord?"
In the magazine interview, the Argentine-born pope said, "In Buenos Aires I used to receive letters from homosexual persons who are 'socially wounded' because they tell me that they feel like the church has always condemned them. But the church does not want to do this."
He also suggested a reconsideration of the role of women in the church. While he didn't address the church's teaching that women can't be priests, he said "women are asking deep questions that must be addressed."
"The woman is essential for the church," said the pontiff. "We must therefore investigate further the role of women in the church."
The interview was remarkable for its candor and length. The remarks will likely reinforce Pope Francis' image as a leader more concerned with the pastoral role of the church and impatient with the shortcomings of the institution.
The comments were in line with the pope's thinking as a top prelate in Argentina. In an interview shortly after the new pope was picked earlier this year, one of his former top aides in Argentina said the pontiff was grounded in the everyday lives of his parishioners that gave him a healthy distance from the doctrinal debate in Rome.
"Someone who is behind a desk in Rome, they aren't even having Mass with the people," the former aide said. "They are totally cut off. We have the people in front of us all the time."
The pope has signaled plans to shake up the Vatican's hidebound and fractious bureaucracy that has given rise to a series of financial and personal scandals in recent years.
"The church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules," he said.
When asked how he viewed himself, he answered, "I am a sinner. It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner."
Some more personal comments are likely to further endear the pope to Catholics who have already cheered his folksy manner. The pope has eschewed more regal clothing worn by his predecessors and has been photographed carrying his own luggage on trips. He has even taken to personally making calls to people who have written to him recounting their problems.

How to Retire With a 6-Figure Income
Saving for retirement is an abstract exercise until you put real numbers into a real plan. Let's construct a strategy for a $100,000 retirement income starting at age 65 and running until age 90. You may live longer or retire sooner, but for the purposes of simply starting somewhere in the planning process we'll begin with that.
A comprehensive retirement scenario should consider inflation, market variances, withdrawal rates, and the like -- details best left to financial planners using advanced calculations. Some advisors use what is called a "Monte Carlo" simulation. Others love a good spreadsheet. We're working with what is little more than a cocktail napkin, but the numbers will give you an idea of the work that needs to be done.
If you're 20
We'll assume you've already taken care of the three major roadblocks that keep some millennials from starting the race to retirement: credit card and student loan debt and a three- to six-month emergency fund. You will want to put your retirement savings in a tax-advantaged investment account, such as an IRA, 401(k) or SIMPLE. How to invest your savings is a topic for another time. What we want is a number -- the big number required to fuel our life after work for some 25 years.
Steve Vernon is a consulting research scholar for the financial security division of the Stanford Center on Longevity. His book Money for Life discusses the pros and cons of various ways to generate retirement income. NerdWallet asked him what sort of a nest egg it would take to generate an annual retirement income of $100,000.
"My very general rule of thumb is to have savings equal to 25 times your desired amount of annual retirement income when you retire," he says. "So if you need $100,000 per year in retirement income, you'll need $2.5 million in savings. If the $100,000 income is in addition to Social Security or includes Social Security, that makes a difference."
We'll exclude Social Security in our plan, so the $2.5 million will be our initial starting point.
Zeroing in on the big number
To nail down the savings required for our six-figure retirement income, let's consider another fount of advice. BlackRock, the asset-management company, offers a "Corrections During Critical Pre-Retirement Phase," or CoRI, calculator meant to show the amount an investor must save to generate a desired income throughout retirement.
Using the same parameters given to Vernon, the CoRI calculator gives a similar, if slightly lower, result: $2 million. That would require savings of about $9,500 per year from age 20, based on a projected annual return of 6%. That's a doable number if you have a 401(k) at work; in fact, it's well below the $17,500 maximum deferral allowed in 2014.
But it is about $800 every month. That's a big number to someone in his or her 20s.
If you're 40
In your peak earning years, it may take every bit of that 401(k) deferral limit to get you on track for a six-figure retirement. If from age 20 you'd saved $9,500 per year with a 6% return, you would already have some $350,000 in your retirement kitty. If not, it's time to play catch-up, deploying every investment tool in your arsenal: annual rebalancing, tax-efficient mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, and profit/loss tax harvesting. After age 50 you can use catch-up provisions to boost your contributions to your IRA or 401(k).
If you're 60
It's the race to the finish line, and you should be seeing a big balance on your investment statement. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.5 million. To reach our savings goal, a nest egg capable of generating 100 grand in retirement income each year, you may be selling off some assets to pad your account balance.
Reducing expenses during the five-year countdown to retirement can also help you cushion your after-work budget. Now is a good time to factor in your Social Security and Medicare benefits, too. You may even decide to continue working for a few more years, or generate a part-time income to make up for the gap.
The savings target of $2 million to $2.5 million required to generate a six-figure retirement income might seem impossible to achieve -- but only until you have a plan in place and a firm commitment to succeed.

text: OK, that was not a good title for this post. I think that a better line would be something like, "The more I learn about writing the smaller the amount that I know appears." Sadly, that was a long a boring title. I write to relieve the stories, but I never said that I write well. I mean, I hope that I write well, but I am learning that writing really is an art. It takes time. It takes tenacity and quite frankly, it takes a village. I live in a smallish town in the Midwest. There are no writers conferences within 100 miles of me. The support of human people (verses virtual people is slim pickings). However, the online community is an amazing resource to a new writer. Through a dear friend of mine, I was introduced to a romance writer (figuratively). Her name is Lucy Monroe and she is amazing. I am not a romantic. I'm not. I feel like I should be, but not so much for me. HOWEVER, Lucy is not just a romance writer. She, like everyone else, cannot be put into a box. She is an amazing writer and mentor as well. I am currently enrolled in an 11 week long online writing course taught by her and it is FREE. The other writers participating are wonderful, supportive, informative and fun. You can learn more about Lucy at her website Lucy Monroe Take a look. Take advantage of the online opportunities. You'll learn so much more than you think, and it won't even all be about writing.
