Dwight Freeney's full quotes from @SiriusXMNFL yesterday on his interest in the Giants and the Jets ...
Dwight Freeney, in an interview Wednesday, on The Sirius Blitz on @SiriusXMNFL: (Asked about the possibility of playing for the Giants) "I grew up a Giants fan, actually, all my life. So that would be a dream." (Asked about the possibility of playing for the Jets) "Obviously Rex is a great guy. I actually know Rex. I met him a few times. Obviously playing in New York, that is definitely something that's very attractive. Scheme-wise, Rex knows how to free guys up. So that would be a good fit. A lot of teams would be a good fit. I'm an East Coast guy." (Asked if the Giants were a real possibility) "They are definitely in the conversation. They definitely are. But obviously they have to have room for me and it has to work for them. That goes for other teams, too. Not just the Giants. There's other teams on that list I'm sure my agent is going to bring up and say 'Hey, this is a great fit, this is what they're trying to do with you.' We'll see what happens the next two weeks. This is new to me. So it's fun. It's exciting. And we'll see what happens."

FDA to Limit Use of Antibiotics in Farm Animals
By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 11 (HealthDay News) -- As experts continue to sound alarm bells about the rising resistance of microbes to antibiotics used by humans, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday announced it was curbing the use of the drugs in livestock nationwide.
"FDA is issuing a plan today, in collaboration with the animal health industry, to phase out the use of medically important [for treating human infections] antimicrobials in food animals for production purposes, such as to enhance growth rates and improve feeding efficiency," Michael Taylor, deputy commissioner for foods and veterinary medicine at the agency, said during a Wednesday morning press briefing.
Experts have long stressed that the overuse of antibiotics by the meat and poultry industry gives dangerous germs such as Staphylococcus and C. difficile a prime breeding ground to develop mutations around drugs often used by humans. But for years, millions of doses of antibiotics have been added to the feed or water of cattle, poultry, hogs and other animals to produce fatter animals while using less feed.
To try and limit this overuse, the FDA is asking pharmaceutical companies that make antibiotics for the farming industry to change the labels on their products to limit the use of these drugs to medical purposes only.
At the same time, the agency will be phasing in broader oversight by veterinarians to insure that the antibiotics are used only to treat and prevent illness in animals and not to enhance growth, he said.
"What is voluntary is only the participation of animal pharmaceutical companies. Once these labeling changes have been made, these products will only be able to be used for therapeutic reasons with veterinary oversight," Taylor explained.
"With these changes, there will be fewer approved uses [of these drugs] and remaining uses will be under tighter control," Taylor said.
The most common antibiotics used in feed and also prescribed for humans affected by the new rule include tetracycline, penicillin and the macrolides, according to the FDA.
Two companies, Zoetis (Pfizer's animal-drug subsidiary) and Elanco, have the largest share of the animal antibiotic market. Both have said they will sign on to the FDA's program, Taylor said.
There was some initial praise for FDA's move.
"We commend FDA for taking the first steps since 1977 to broadly reduce antibiotic overuse in livestock," Laura Rogers, who directs the Pew Charitable Trusts' human health and industrial farming campaign, said in a statement. "There is more work to do, but this is a promising start -- especially after decades of inaction."
Not everyone, however, saw the changes as a step forward in controlling the use of antibiotics in food production.
"FDA's policy is an early holiday gift to industry. It is a hollow gesture that does little to tackle a widely recognized threat to human health," Avinash Kar, the health attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, said in a statement.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
as a former GM---i xferred off my server to just be a raider again, to just play the game.
there is no reward for leadership, only endless dealing with drama in most cases.
in a 25 man raiding guild, on average, thats 10-20 more people to constantly create drama.
honestly even some of the best guilds admit to carrying some people
the writer of this article sounds like he is in a position where there might be weak links that just have to have things spelled out for them all the time.
in a 10 man raid, you can see this address it and fix it -- easier then in a 25 man.
so many problems with 25 man--if your playing to have fun....and you look at the pros and cons---everyone is prolly raiding 10s because...why stress like that
So what could they do to make 25 man raiding more attractive? I believe that was one question the columnist asked. Blizzard could create software tools that would make the logistical and organizational challenges easier. Perhaps these are really the domain of add-ons, but the argument still applies. Figure out what information the raid leaders need, and then figure out how to get them that information as painlessly as possible.
Along the lines of Velutina's constructive comments, anything Blizzard could do to reduce the overhead for guild officers would help, including:
1) Making the loot system smart (no useless or redundant drops) or switching to an all-currency loot system whereby everyone earns at the same rate. This would eliminate loot system maintenance/upkeep/drama.
2) NPC-led raid encounters, whereby an AI would organize, instruct, and "call" the boss fights.
3) A return to gated content to pace the players and help offset progress-based drama and membership churn. This is especially important during the first few months of a new expansion.
4) When reworking classes and roles, balance, balance again, and then balance a third time to get things right. Especially if Blizzard is reworking something like healing. Get it right the first time, folks.
The guild-induced stresses of managing a guild leveling up in the new expansion and the poorly-balanced healing model revamp caused me to walk away from being an active Officer in my 25-man guild and later leaving the game entirely.

Designer. Blogger. Piñata. Typewriter. Banana.
Woody Pirtle is one of the founding members of Pentagram. His marks are impressive, other work is at pirtledesign.com
1. Glenwood School2. Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Hair Personal Mark3. Dallas Opera4. NYC Centennial5. Channel 20 Atlanta Public Television
New at Pentagram posted a great collaborative project celebrating 40 years since the legendary design firm's opening by designing a poster for every year. Many great thought provoking posters, the above are my favorite! What tops them is the year 1997. Other favorites include Natasha Jen's contribution of a dimensional city made of Pentagram designed logo's, John Rushworth's beautiful 2005 and Paula Scher's 1984.
Ladies and gentlemen I have made it and my computer came today!!! Its nice to be plugged in again.
Must share: last night I headed to AIGA 30: Celebrating the Greatest Hits I ran into my friend Amanda, it was great to see her. In the last few days I was quite negative regarding trying to relocate, last night changed it all, for 10 dollars I saw the design greats and even met Paula Scher!! She is so great. I'm now reinvigorated to pursue my New York designer dreams.
I've only been in town for 7 days and seen countless apartments, many frustratingly small and expensive, not talking about Manhattan, our very own Bushwick in Brooklyn. I saw a place that had 6 ft tall ceilings with rafters this dude was cramming 7 rooms into a place built for four and this was on the JMZ line at Myrtle-Wycoff. I dont feel like I need to pay $745 for a window closet.
So the search goes on, the most promising places are in Astoria, Queens most reasonably priced and a great deal. Living off the N or R train is almost like living off the L albeit usually 20-25 minutes to midtown. On my second day, I wanted this apartment with a great cat, good location and cool roommate thought I had it but nothing is ever that easy. It was a close call but now I'm still looking.
If anyone is still looking for a roomie in NY let me know!
'Train Track' is the latest piece of sustainable inspiration from Do The Green Thing, the environmental non-profit initiative co-founded by Pentagram's Naresh Ramchandani. Created to inspire people to take the train instead of driving or flying, 'Train Track' features a toy train which runs along a suspended ribbon of cassette tape, so playing a beautiful song about the pleasures of train travel.

I'm in the market for a duck/turkey auto and I'm a really big fan of the 20ga. I have always used 12ga, but I am meticulous about patterning and I am very skilled with guns so I thought I would try something new. Previously my choice for this was my Browning Gold Hunter in 12ga with a 24" barrel. does anyone out there use a 20ga for these things and if so please tell me your experiences and what gun you are using.

I think you'll have a hard time getting a 20 to pattern like a 12 with the heavier loads used for turkey. I don't duck hunt so I don't know what people are shooting there.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...
"the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
It's all about matching ammunition and the firearm. Probably going to have to get a little closer with the 20, although, that might make the hunting a little more satisfying. I've seen plenty of upland game birds killed graveyard dead with a 20.
God, Family, Guns, in that order.
Lol, i turkey hunt with a 10/22 ruger and cheap as dirt .22 winchester bulk ammo, and the birds tend to die pretty damn quick and easy. My suggestion - find someone who has one already along the lines of what you want, ask them to let you shoot it if you buy ammo and beer after, and see if you like it.
From C3Shooter:
Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
If it isn't then its news to me! It is fully legal to WHITE TAIL DEER HUNT with a .22 lr in the great state of NC...... and ive never had anyone tell me otherwise about turkeys
No i don't have a link off hand, i can look for one tho! the only reason i know that white tails are A OK with a .22 is my little brother recently got into hunting and he got himself a marlin .22 mag bolt gun from wall mart down the road for a really fair price and he was wondering if it wld be ok for him to use it this upcoming winter (i know, a long way away, but he doesnt have a viable source of income and doesnt plan to buy any more rifles for a while) for deer. Well we drove into Pisgah national forest and down to the ranger station and stated the question to a ranger, who responded "there is no caliber limitations on white tail deer for the state of North Carolina pertaining to long guns". Handguns are evidently an entirely different story. As far as turkey, i have just always used a 10/22, and know a TON of other people who do so as well, and no one has ever corrected the behavior.
I'm trying to find something about turkey hunting with a .22 in NC.... I'd really like to know if it is not OK so i can correct my behavior if im in the wrong

Headaches can be painful and debilitating preventing you from working, going to school and participating in enjoyable activities. There are many types of headaches, including tension headaches, migraines, cluster headaches, sinus headaches, rebound headaches, and chronic headaches. Some headaches can result from hormone imbalances (low progesterone caused by pituitary dysfunction), stress, structural misalignments, circulatory problems and sugar imbalances (too much sugar). The symptoms vary with the different types of these chronic headaches. There are many over-the-counter pain medications for the treatment and relief of these chronic headaches. You probably have a bottle or two in your medicine cabinet now. However, these over-the-counter headache pain relief treatments and medications that give temporary headache relief are probably not the best. They are un-natural using synthetic chemicals produced by man that may have harmful side effects later on as the body does not know how to assimilate them. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is the most common cause of Acute Liver Failure in the United States according to the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology.
Young Living has the best all-natural headache pain relief treatment medications in their therapeutic-grade essential oils. Serious causes of headaches are very rare and most headaches can be managed at home by learning ways to cope with stress effectively and by employing headache pain relieving all-natural therapeutic-grade essential oil remedies.

Headache remedies: we have had very good results using Young Living Peppermint for headache relief and even for migraine headaches.
Neat or dilute 50-50 (1 drop Extra Virgin Olive oil, 1 drop Peppermint). Apply 1-3 drops on back of the neck, behind ears, on temples, and on forehead. Be careful to keep away from eyes and eyelids. (If you do, use Olive oil to dilute. NEVER use water).
Deep Relief Roll-ON: For headache relief apply generously to temples and behind ears every 15 minutes for up to 4 applications. For head tension apply over temples and on forehead. For me this product works well. I use it for my headaches. Keep out of reach of children. Do not ingest this blend. If pregnant, nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition, consult a health care practioner prior to use.
Migraine Headaches and Remedies
M-Grain: formulated by D. Gary Young specially for migraine headaches---apply on temples, back of ears, and back of neck.
Sinus Headaches
Eucalyptus radiata, R.C., Raven, Breathe Again Roll-On. We apply any one of these oils to the soles of the feet just before bedtime. Also apply oils on top of foot at the base of the toes and bottom of the foot at the base of the toes. Also apply on sinuses above and below the eyes and temples. Be careful not to get oils in the eye.
Stress Headaches
M-Grain and Pan Away. Apply 1-2 drops neat or diluted 50-50 around the hairline on the back of the neck and across the forehead. Be careful no to use too much so that the oil does not run down close to the eyes or into the eyes. If the oil does, dilute the eyes with Extra Virgin Oilve oil--Never use water. These two oils work very well for us.

Critical Essay by Arthur Waley
SOURCE: An introduction to and "Terms," in The Analects of Confucius, George Allen & Unwin Ltd, 1938, pp. 13-26, 27-50.
In the following excerpt, Waley comments on Confucius's life, his disciples, and the origins of the Analects. The critic also defines several key terms used in the Analects.
Thought grows out of environment. Ideally speaking the translator of such a book as the Analects ought to furnish a complete analysis of early Chinese society, of the processes which were at work within it and of the outside forces to which it reacted. Unfortunately our knowledge of the period is far too incomplete for any such synthesis to be possible. The literary documents are scanty and of uncertain date; scientific archaeology in China has suffered constant setbacks and is still in its infancy. All that I...

Is the market getting used to the 10,000 level or is there still a good chance of a significant retreat?
On the positive side, investors appeared to take news of rising unemployment in stride.
Also, the weak dollar can help U.S. exports. And it also can boost corporate bottom lines, since repatriated overseas profits translate into more dollars.
What's more, confidence appears to be on the upswing about a global recovery, with the Group of 20 countries agreeing to keep their stimulus measures in place.
Finally, on the bright side, there's been lots of talk about lots of cash sitting on the sidelines, waiting to get back in.
At the same time, however, rising double-digit unemployment does not bode well for consumer incomes or spending.
Credit is still tight for many businesses and banks continue to fail.
A falling dollar can spark commodity inflation, which would dampen consumer incomes even more.
And the critical holiday-spending season is an unknown right now, again with conflicting fundamentals.
No one knows for sure, but is the stock market going to build on 10,000 as a foundation? Why or why not?

10,000 will be a base. many people continue to predict the end of anything good but its obvious that things are getting better on many fronts. A year from now I will not be surprised to see unemployment at 8%.

Why can't English be more phonetic like Spanish. No guess work – each vowel in Spanish has one sound (not long and short) and no silent letters. I guess English being the hybrid language that it is explains it.

i had juvederm injected into my lips when i was 23, im now 26 and the product is still there not all of it, but still there.
i remember the day i went to see my dermotologist, she told me that this is temporary and it would go away in a year max so i thought well i have thin lips so why not?! its harmless let me try something different and maybe just maybe for once in my life i feel hot or i dunna pretty.
i did a bit of research and finally decided to do it. i really liked the results in the begining but now its been 3 years and im concerned, every night i keep reading about juvederm's long term effects and what would eventually happen. i still do like the results but i dont like having to think about what might happen.
i really believe that doctors should tell us that it might stay longer than a year :( i just hope that my body dissolves it soon. is there anyone out there that had juvederm in their lips that lasted this long?

Hi mona,
Welcome to the Juvederm community. I'm so glad you decided to write a review it will help so many other community members dealing with the same thing. Have you considered or asked a doctor about Hyaluronidase? Three years does seem like a very long time for Juvederm. Please keep us updated.
Thanks so much for the review,
- Reply
thanks for the reply. yeah i have considered it but they said it would eventually absorb and that cuz its only a little bit i should leave it for now and plus it doesnt look bad so :D i just wanted to warn everyone that we are al different n u'll never know how ur body is going to react to these things :)

Well, good I'm glad it doesn't look bad. You actually are the opposite of most where your Juvederm lasted longer. As I said this is good info for the community.

Electronic Musicians/DJs
Ball of Waxx recording artists and DJs, John Kelley and Brian Golub, originally caught fire in the deserts of Southern California playing at Moontribe Full Moon gatherings. John built his name as a heavy hitter in the global DJ circuit, touring with Crystal Method and Orbital as their official DJ in the 1999 Community Service Tour. Likewise, Brian threw himself headlong into the techno underground and quickly developed a reputation as an eclectic mixmaster with both refined tastes and a wicked love for sonic mayhem.
Brian has released three Hard Desert Trance mix CDs and Psychotrance 2002 on Moonshine Music while John has released two highly acclaimed mix series, Funkydesertbreaks and High Desert Soundsystem, also on Moonshine.

A Florida minister has issued a 30-Day Sex Challenge to couples in his congregation. He says married couples should have sex every day for 30 days to make their relationships stronger. Every day? For 30 days? Of course it's a guy who came up with that.
They do say that Christian women have the best sex lives around. Hmmm…
I love my husband… and I think he is incredibly sexy - especially when I picture him in his USMC Dress Blues! But every day for 30 days? No thanks. Maybe I could that in our pre-baby days, but I'm simply too tired now. I'll have to hide this article from my husband now…
My Hubby and I have a VERY healthy relationship and a VERY strong and Healthy sex life. We have 3 kids and have been married for almost 10 years. I think sex is a wonderful way to relive stress and to connect. But I think it shouldn't have to be a "challenge". It should be when you feel like it and want it. because if not then it will become a chore and neither one of you will want it as much and you will lose a vital part of your relationship.
I agree, sex is a vital part of a relationship. My husband and I actually had sex for 60 days straight! I guess that 's the upside of being in a coma for six years.
I'm 26yrs old and I've been married for 6 years. He's still got it go'n on! I always want to make love. But,at the end of the day after stress from 3 kids whining and complaining,my mother feeding me horror stories from the news cast of the day.Looking at the bills I struggle to pay,and finding time for house work. I barely even eat! Which doesn't explain why I'm over weight.
How the heck do you find time for it.!?
I'm so tired all the damn time.If we do have sex we have to hurry before one of the kids wakes up for a feeding or one has a nightmare. "It's quite rediculious!"
If you have a way to fix this problem throw it my way…..
We married for 13 years, and still have sex every day,there alwas time for it. When we tired it is quick, but after one day off work, we play a lot.

EA Sports has caused a stir following the announcement that UEFA Euro 2012 will be available on download only.
A boxed version has been decided against, due to their other top titles still holding their ground in the charts, and the fear of overkill.
Last summer's Fifa 2012 is still selling in high numbers, as it does every year, while the new Fifa Street has also flown off shelves since its release earlier this year. The inevitable release of Fifa 2013 later in the year was enough to convince EA that another hard copy from the Fifa franchise wasn't necessary.
Instead, their new edition, which will coincide with this summer's European Championships in Ukraine and Poland, will be available as a downloadable extra to the current Fifa game.
Co-op keeps faith in Lloyds deal
Tesco maintains top spot despite market share drop
Although understandable, the decision will be met by disappointment from the world's top gaming stores, and it's not surprising why when looking at the past versions' successes.
Going back as far as 2004 with the Euro 2004 edition, Fifa kept their game in the top five of the charts for six weeks, bringing in significant revenue for the chains, especially across Europe.
2006's Germany World Cup game fared even better still, staying at the number one spot for the whole month during the tournament. In 2010, South Africa's World Cup release achieved similar heights and remained in the top five for over two months – only being dislodged by the much revered Red Dead Redemption.
2008 brought the most disappointing return for EA, only reaching a high of number 8 in the charts. However, England's failure to qualify for the tournament may have had a huge bearing on the anomaly, and the new game should expect to produce much better sales.
While the change in tactics won't necessarily affect EA, who will be happy to rely on the online tendencies of their customers, this news has come as a big blow to the High Street Retail sector. They are still trying to stabilise in general following the likes of GAME's recent financial crisis and subsequent takeover.

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. (AP) - Google and its street-view cameras already have taken users to narrow cobblestone alleys in Spain using a tricycle, inside the Smithsonian with a push cart and to British Columbia's snow-covered slopes by snowmobile.
The search giant now has brought its all-seeing eyes - mounted for the first time on a backpack - down into the Grand Canyon. The so-called trekker will showcase the most popular hiking trails on the South Rim.
It's the latest evolution in mapping technology for the company that has photographed communities in dozens of countries for its Street View feature.
Google announced the trekker earlier this year but made its first official collection of data this week at the Grand Canyon. Google still must stitch images together before making the trails available to its users.

Right heres the problem.
We are creating a moodle system for an educational partnership between a large group of schools. Its all setup courses are done but we are having to add teachers, lots of teachers. Now on the list of courses screen it displays the course, the summary and list of teachers for that course and we are going to have alot of teachers on each course which is going to take up a lot of space. Anyone have a way I can hide the teachers on there so all I get is a list of the courses. Or maybe some other solution would be grand.
Thanks in advance.

A model of market-making
AbstractThe two essential features of a decentralized economy taken into account are, first, that individual agents need some information about other agents in order to meet potential trading partners, which requires some communication or interaction between these agents, and second, that in general agents will face trading uncertainty. We consider trade in a homogeneous commodity. Firms decide upon their effective supplies, and may create their own markets by sending information signals communicating their willingness to sell. Meeting of potential trading partners is arranged in the form of shopping by consumers. The questions to be considered are: How do firms compete in such markets? And what are the properties of an equilibrium? We establish existence conditions for a symmetric Nash equilibrium in the firms' strategies, and analyze its characteristics. The developed framework appears to lend itself well to study many typical phenomena of decentralized economies, such as the emergence of central markets, the role of middlemen, and price-making.

KANSAS CITY, MO (WTVB) - The Tigers sputtered in Kansas City over the weekend after beating the Royals 16-to-2 with 26 hits on Friday with Detroit dropping its second straight to KC yesterday 5-to-2 in the rubber game of the 3-game series. Doug Fister gave up all the runs in six-and-a-third innings for the loss. Jose Iglesias belted a two-run shot for the Tigers, who still have a five and a half game lead in the American League Central over the second place Indians, who lost to the Mets.
Tonight, Detroit opens a 3-game series in Chicago against the White Sox, who won 4-to-2 yesterday at Baltimore. The Cubs fell 3-to-1 to the Brewers at Wrigley Field.

As governments tighten their anti-corruption legislation businesses are more exposed to inadvertent breaches. With penalties on the rise, is your company at risk?
By not committing fully to the fight against human trafficking, the business community is losing out morally and economically.
When business behaves badly, who is held morally responsible? The firm or the individual?
Punishing individuals instead of firms would be a more effective deterrent to wrongdoing
Because corporations are not capable of experiencing emotions, we should stop thinking of them as persons.
Firms are considered legal persons and are therefore held liable for wrongdoing on moral grounds, but they are also composed of individuals who are morally responsible for their behaviour.
Staying clear of wrongdoing and denying involvement when even associated with misbehaviour is the optimum path to a strong reputation and a profitable future
Implementing a socially responsible supply network is fundamental to any CSR policy. The key is getting the structure right.
Inequality makes people morally judgmental because they feel more vulnerable to the wrongdoing of others.
"Sustainability" is about more than being environmentally or socially responsible. The story of Tchibo Coffee shows that it can also give customers consistent quality.

The person who would bankroll a Harriet Tubman biopic would likely be someone who was particularly touched by her story. Such a person would not have to be black, but I don't know how you separate the paucity of black people with the power to green-light from the paucity of good films concerning black people in American history.
Moreover, movie-making is risky and expensive. Any discussion of the lack of a Harriet Tubman biopic should begin with the shameful fact that median white wealth in this country stands at $110,000 and median black wealth stands at around $5,000. It would be nice to think that this gap reflected choices cultural and otherwise, instead of the fact that for most this country's history its governing policy was to produce failure in black communities, and most of its citizens supported such policies. It would be nice if Hollywood were more moral and forward-thinking than its consumer base. But I would not wait around for such a day."

How to Start a Roth IRA (and Where to Do It)
Published on - June 7th, 2007 (Modified on - August 18th, 2014) (by J.D. Roth)
You've heard how awesome Roth IRAs are and how starting one now can mean big bucks when you're older. You've even done some research so you have a vague idea of how a Roth IRA works. Now what? How do you actually start one yourself? It's surprisingly easy to set up a retirement account and to begin investing in your future.
Before you invest
Putting money in savings accounts or certificates of deposits for retirement is important, but there are other aspects of personal finance, and you should take care of two of them before opening a Roth IRA.
- Tuck away at least $1,000 for emergencies.
- Pay off your credit card debt. At the very least, make significant headway on your debt and have a plan for its elimination. (I chronicled my choice between debt and savings in April.)
Here's one excellent way to begin your retirement savings: When you've finished paying off your debt, take the amount you were using for this each month and, instead of spending it, stick it into a retirement account. You've already developed the habit of using the money to improve your financial life; this is just another way to do it!
Where to open a Roth IRA
Deciding where to open your Roth IRA is the most difficult part of the process! Many financial institutions offer IRAs. Each place has its own strengths and weaknesses. It's important to search for a company that suits your needs. Don't fret about finding the perfect match — find a good match and then get the IRA in motion. Questions to ask during your research include:
- Is there a minimum initial investment? Minimum contributions?
- What sorts of fees are assessed to the account?
- Does the company offer automatic contributions?
- What investment options are available? Can you invest in stocks? Mutual funds? Real estate?
- Is it possible to download statements automatically into Quicken?
- How reputable is the provider?
If you already have an investment advisor, ask her for recommendations, but look for other options, too. Some banks and credit unions offer Individual Retirement Accounts. My credit union, for example, has Roth accounts, but they're limited to certificates of deposit at 1.50%.
If you're willing to make some decisions on your own, you can open a self-directed IRA through a mutual fund company or through an online discount brokerage.
The Big Three
In his guest post "An Introduction to Mutual Funds", Vintek recommended starting at one of the Big Three: Fidelity, Vanguard, or T. Rowe Price.
I call these fund families the Big Three not only because they're enormous, but also because they have a variety of funds that cover every investment style and segment you could wish for. [...] If you're just starting out, you should probably pick one family and stay with it. You'll be able to track all your investments more easily in one place.
I explored each company's web site to discover what sorts of Roth IRA options they offered for beginning investors. Here's what I found.
Fidelity Investments offers a no-fee IRA. There's a $2,500 minimum initial deposit, but this is waived if you commit to $200/month automatic contributions. They offer 4,500 mutual funds, about a quarter of which have no transaction fee. In short, you can open a no-cost IRA at Fidelity with a $200 starting investment if you invest in mutual funds and you agree to contribute $200/month. Apply for a Roth IRA with Fidelity.
It's also possible to open a no-cost Roth IRA at The Vanguard Group. To do this, you must elect to receive electronic statements and start with $1000 in the company's STAR fund. (The STAR fund is an mutual fund of mutual funds, a safe choice for beginners.) Additional contributions require a minimum of $100 unless you use their Automatic Investment Plan, in which case the minimum is $50. There are no fees to purchase the STAR fund. Start a Roth IRA at Vanguard.
T. Rowe Price charges $10/year for Roth IRA accounts until you have a balance above $5,000, after which there is no fee. You need $1,000 to open your IRA, but this minimum goes away if you sign up to contribute at least $50/month with the Automatic Asset Builder. There are no sales fees or commissions to invest this money in T. Rowe Price mutual funds. Open an IRA at T. Rowe Price.
The information here will get you started with the minimum investment and the lowest costs. If you have more money at your disposal, you have more options. It's possible to make much more sophisticated trades with each of these places — purchasing stocks, for example — but not for free. I encourage you to look more closely at each company's web site, and to read the literature for each investment you consider.
Open an E*TRADE Roth IRA. No Fees. No minimums.
Discount Brokers
Discount brokers appeal to many people because they have a low barrier to entry. They offer lower fees than traditional brokers because they don't have research departments and they don't offer investment advice. They only act as middlemen for trading in the market.
E-Trade also offers a "no-fee" Roth IRA. They have no annual IRA fees, and no account minimums. The investment choices seem to be pretty wide, with stocks, bonds, options and over 8,000 mutual funds, ETFs (exchange traded funds) and IPOs. There are over 1,300 no-load, no-transaction fee funds. Open a Roth IRA at E-Trade.
I opened my Roth IRA at ShareBuilder after reading David Bach's The Automatic Millionaire. It felt great to finally open a retirement account. (Seriously — I was stoked.) I used to fret about the costs. But now ShareBuilder doesn't charge annual custodial fees for a Roth IRA, plus their Automatic Investment Plan (AIP) lets me make investments on a schedule and an amount that I choose for just $3.95 per investment. I'm careful, but I'm not hit with a lot of fees. Though I love how easy it is to automate investing through ShareBuilder, my research for this article revealed two other discount brokers that look appealing.
Scottrade is another online broker that offers highly competitive terms. Boasting no set-up, annual or maintenance fees, Scottrade currently offers clients the chance to get $100 in fees from other brokers refunded. Scottrade aims to offer straightforward pricing on trades, charging just $7 for stocks $1 and above for online market and limit equity orders, and you can further simplify the process by considering one of its checking, savings or money market accounts, any of which can be linked to your trading account to make your transactions a little more direct. Learn more about Scottrade.
People have all sorts of good things to say about Firstrade. This company offers a no-fee Roth IRA, but requires a $500 minimum initial investment and $100 subsequent investments. Firstrade charges $6.95 per transaction, though they do offer a wide range of mutual funds that one can purchase for no charge. Firstrade looks good for somebody who wants to invest in mutual funds, but doesn't want to (or can't afford to) sign on with a larger mutual fund company. Firstrade does not offer online registration, but you can begin the Roth IRA application process here.
Zecco (now TradeKing), the new kid on the block, charges fairly low commissions at $4.95 per equity trade. Option trades are only $4.95, plus $.65 per contract. They also have a free suite of tools, including TradeKing Live1, a streaming trading platform that allows you to manage your portfolio in real-time. Open a Roth IRA at TradeKing.
Discount brokers are a good option if you're primarily interested in purchasing individual stocks instead of mutual funds. They're also a fine choice if you want to get started now, but can't afford a program with one of the mutual fund companies. Another option if you're short on cash is to open an CD-based IRA at a bank until you've saved enough for the minimum initial deposit at one of the Big Three.
How to open a Roth IRA
Here's a secret: opening a Roth IRA is easy. Have you ever filled out a job applicaton? Have you ever applied for a credit card? Have you ever opened a bank account? Of course you have. That's exactly what the process is like to start an individual retirement account.
Some firms require that you download the forms and then to mail or fax them to the company. Most places, however, provide online applications. Before you begin the application, you will need the following:
- Your social security number.
- Your bank account information.
- Your employment information.
- Some money. (Depending on where you choose to open your IRA, or you may need $25 or you may need $3000. )
- About an hour of uninterrupted time. (Actually, you probably only need fifteen minutes, but allocate more time just to be safe.)
Gather this information in one location when you're ready to begin. (If you're opening an IRA through a brick-and-mortar bank or broker, take this info with you.) From this point, it's simply a matter of answering simple questions.
Once you've completed the application process, you will be asked to transfer money to your account. This money will probably earn interest in a money market fund until you choose an investment. (In part three of this series, we'll discuss good investment options for Roth IRAs.)
I'm a big fan of automatic investment plans. Most of the companies I mentioned earlier in this article offer some sort of program that will pull money from your bank account every month to invest in stocks or mutual funds that you designate. By setting aside $50 or $100 or $500 in this way, saving becomes a habit. You don't notice the money is missing. It's a regular expense becomes incorporated into your budget.
Now what?
That's all there is to it. Really. The most difficult part of this process is deciding where to open an account. Set aside an hour or two some Saturday morning to explore your options over a cup of coffee. With some research, you should be able to find a company and program that fits your place in life.
I always believed opening a retirement account difficult. "Besides," I thought, "I don't have money to invest." Last year I forced myself to find the time and the cash to open a Roth IRA, and it has been one of the best financial decisions I've ever made. My account balance is small, but I love to watch it grow!

This is the best Roth IRA for dummies info I have read so far. There are a gazillion websites where you can read about IRA's including irs.gov, but they're all so confusing and not explained very well! This one is simple and explains step by step how to open an IRA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH=)
Lisa, my only recommendation would be to look at a few other companies before you take the plunge. Janus is a decent mutual fund company and I assume that is the reason why you would want your Roth IRA with them, but there are other options out there like Fidelity and Vanguard that have lower cost options. Just make sure you have due diligence before you take the plunge.
Is there such a thing as a Roth IRA "savings" account that gets rates comparable to a good "regular" savings accounts (5% APR or higher)? Is there a reason this is so difficult to find information on (at least for me)? It seems like any place that I want to take my Roth IRA to will require me to invest in mutual funds. It is currently in a savings account at Wells Fargo making somewhere around 1%, which I know sucks. I'm just wondering why there are so many savings accounts advertised everywhere giving (relatively) good interest rates but none that I can find for a Roth IRA.
Brent – don't know about other alternatives, but Sharebuilder has a money market fund that is currently earning 4.35% (7 day yield, as of 5 Nov) I would think that most accounts have a similar option.
I really appreciate your article. I have found out what a Roth IRA is on other sites but amazingly could not find out how/where exactly to get one until i came to your site! I am relatively young, I've never made a lot of money. I'm pretty clueless about investing, but I'm trying to change that. I think this is good for me to start saving for retirement.
Can you tell me if there is anyway to control where the money goes? I'm trying to understand if money I invest in Roth IRA contributes to mutual funds. If so, do I have a choice in which companies are in the mutual fund? I want to avoid funding companies I may be ethically against.

Hi, I was doing some research on retirement plans. I came across this article and it was the catalyst I was looking for to make my decision. I went with Fidelity (Roth IRA). The financial advisor was extremely helpful and answered all of my novice questions. I'm 23 and I feel great about having a retirement plan. Thank you for your help. Now, I'm an avid reader.
Do any of "The Big Three" allow you to purchase QQQQ, SPY, or ETFs?
This is a great article. I want to open a Roth IRA soon and had no idea where. After researching for a while, I have decided I want to go with either Fidelity's or Vanguard's plans where you pick a retirement year and leave the investing up to them. From what I have read, this is a good way to earn good interest without the worry that goes along with maintaining the account. I want my money to grow, but I don't want to think about it until I retire. I am 22 right now and want to get my $4000 in for 2007 before the deadline. I have very little expenses right now and have a small emergency savings ($2000, but I will add to that as well), and have paid off all of my debt.
Can anyone give me a good comparison of these specific services offered by Fidelity and Vanguard to help me decide? Also, I am already investing 5% plus 4% match to a 401k, and I will eventually contribute the max to that as well. I plan on tapping that out before using the Roth, so I am not sure what year I should use for the Roth, I was thinking maybe 2055, which would put me around 70. I want a more aggressive approach than standard, is this a good way to achieve that?
for what it's worth.
Does anybody have any experience with Ameritrade Roth IRA?
I have an employer-sponsored 403(b) plan with Fidelity. I am funding it at $4,500 per year, out of the $7,500 maximum allowed.
Would it be wise for me to deposit, say, $200 per month into a Roth IRA? Or would I be better off to direct those funds into my 403(b) instead?
I have my Roth with a company that charges $200 just to purchase stocks. Besides a mutual fund that I purchased to start my Roth. I have added two ETF's in my Roth this year, QQQQ & SPY. That's when I found out about their policy on stocks.
I am looking into adding EFA. I pretty much tell my broker what to do, I don't need help or guidance in choosing stocks.
I am looking to move my Roth to a low if not no commission per trade company that has local offices in Southwestern CT where I can get help if needed with account problems and gives me online control of my account. I plan to go long on my Roth investments and don't mind paying a yearly maintenance fee by check, I'm paying $35 a year right now.
Schwab and Vanguard are across the street from each other near me. Zecco.com looks promising but they don't have local, offices do they?
$200 to purchase stocks? Holy cow.
Matt you can put $15,500 this year into your 403b.
With that said, I like the approach of having a 403b AND a Roth. Fidelity is a quality company and all, but I bet you have only 12-15, high expense ratio funds to chose from. So open an account at Vanguard, Fidelity [better choices from them outside the 403b) or even a Bank of America or Sharebuilder. You can then go after index and lower cost mutual funds or even stocks if you do your homework. You have much better options outside the 403b and opening a Roth could also help you with a first time home purchase up to $10K and you can also remove contributions without penalty, NOT that you want to do that, but if you are head strong, it's nice to know you wont have to jump through hoops if something BIG came up.
You could also tackle buying ETF's inside the Roth, just make sure you get $500+ into a fund if they charge $7 a trade. Don't get stuck into buying $100 blocks of something and paying basically a 7% commission every time.

I am currently in the military and I am stationed in Japan. I have a truck payment of roughly 450.00 dollars and a credit card debt of 4500.00 dollars. Both will be paid off in two years or less. My wife is also in the military so our paycheck is roughly above 4,000.00 a month. What agency do you recommend for a Roth IRA for us, because that is our only debt are those two things we live in free housing and everything. I would greatly appreciate someones time.
I'm 55 ,married and always let my husband do the saving. I put my little bits of money that I earned into savings/checking and CD's. I now want to invest in something more lucrative/aggressive. I also want to diversify. I am looking into Roth IRA's. (I only know the basics). I was told by an aquaintance, to look into municipal funds. I don't know what any of this stuff really is, but am willing to learn.I have @15,000 to invest and I'm not sure where to go. Again I would like to diversify, going beyond what I just mentioned. I even need to change my checking acct because the rates are so bad.Federal fund rates just went down today .I know this won't help me.I am a beginner, but because of my age, I 'm wondering if I should not invest like a beginner. (I've heard a lot of good things about the Vanguaard Star Mutual Funds). Should I invest in something like that and something more aggressive? I am also interested in socially conscious stuff. I really believe that the wave of the future would be environmental stuff but don't have a clue how to do that. I also work part time and can contribute monthly if need be.

I just opened a Roth with Fidelity using automatic $200 deposits. Am I correct in my understanding that my initial contributions will be held in a money market account until I have accumulated the $2500 needed to make an initial mutual fund purchase?
I did it!
I opened my Roth with Vanguard this morning. The array of Vanguard index funds makes me drool and I am so excited to begin my investing life with them!
I'm aggressively paying down my car loan so my monthly contribution is pretty puny but I can't wait to max that sucker out!
to reply to Maggie: Municipal Bond Funds are of interest primarily if you need tax relief. The dividends tend to be small, not unlike savings accounts, but not taxed (I don't know if they are figured for AMTs or not.)
If you're concerned about "aggressive" vs "conservative" investing, you first need a picture of what you have, what you need, and then you can think about splitting your investments into the different strategies. Do NOT tell a broker you want to pursue aggressive strategies, that's his cue to put you in high-risk speculative investments. Depending on the amount you have to invest, you might want to talk to a financial planner whom you pay, not an agent for a company.

can I do a roth IRA? I want to retire at the age of 67. I then can have a part time job and still collect my total SS I am scared to invest because I have always needed my money.
Hi JD,
Great blog post. I'm 23 and make around $65k a year. I'm thinking about starting an IRA now because I have a lot of extra cash, even though I am still paying back student loans and have a $10k car loan for my M3. Do you think it is smart to invest in my retirement now or wait until I pay off my loan debt?
Also, I am getting about $2k back in taxes, and was thinking about putting that in a Roth IRA. I heard it is smart to do that every year with your tax return. Just wanted to know your thoughts. Thanks,
Start saving now! Even if you have debt, you should save some. I heard that you cannot use your tax refund to fund a Roth IRA because Roth IRAs are required to be funded by wage income only. But, considering how a tax refund is money you paid based on wages, I suppose it would fit in this category. Best to consult a tax professional or call one of the investment houses who handle these things.
Cody, definitely open a Roth IRA. If your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) account, fund that enough to get the employer match (if any), and maybe more. It will reduce your taxible income.
It would also be a good idea to open a Roth IRA now, because once you're earning $99,000 or more per year, the amount you're allowed to contribute tapers off and approaches zero. Given your relatively high income for your age, it's likely that there will come a point when you're no longer eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA.
Also, Waylon: I think the requirement about contributions is that they come from "earned income" that has already been taxed. This does not mean that dollar-for-dollar you can only pay as much as you received from a paycheck. What it does mean is that your employer cannot contribute to the fund or match your contributions — all of it has to be deposited by the individual who owns the account.
Thanks for the advice. I am probably going to put in the max amount in a Roth IRA for the first year, and see what happens. I have a lot in savings now, so for emergencies I'm set. My job doesn't have a 401k plan right now. I just want to make sure I start young so I don't have to worry about it as I get older and have a wife, kids, and a mortgage.
[...] How to start a Roth IRA (and where to do it) [...]
I have a question…..all of the Roth IRA examples that have been mentioned seem to be tied to stocks or some mutual fund. My credit union offers a Roth IRA and it has nothing to do with stocks. I just make contributions to it. It seems safer to me to have it this way…interest may not be too much but maybe safer? Here is the information from my credit union:
I'm not so sure what your credit union is offering. It doesn't explicitly say it's just a savings account. As I understand it, any IRA is an investment account, hence the acronym (IRA= Investment Retirement Account). Though I suppose one could argue putting money in a savings account is investing. On the other hand, the rates seem low to me, so I'm not so sure you would be better off setting up an account with them. You might want to call and ask about what exactly their IRA program entails, the details on their website are nothing specific to their program, just general information about IRAs.
IRA = "Individual Retirement Account"
Oops. It was always explained to me as an investment account, probably why I got the definition confused.
[...] How to start a Roth IRA (and where to do it) [...]
Very useful article, thank you! I especially like the research questions to ask before setting up an IRA account with a bank or retirement investment company. Little points such as "is it possible to automatically download statements into Quicken" mean a lot! A question I had is, what happens if you need to withdraw money from your IRA, do the brokers above (example Sharebuilder, Fidelity, Zecco, etc) let you do that without striking you with big fees? For example I have a Guaranteed Investment Certificate with my bank of $20,000 and if I withdraw more than $5000 from it, i'm going to get hit with big fees!
According to this website http://www.definerothira.com, there are 8 exceptions that allow you to withdraw money from your IRA without any taxes or fees!
There are 8 exceptions to the 10% early withdrawal penalty (i.e. withdrawals that are taken before the age of 59 and 1/2).
They are for distributions that:
i) Are taken because of the IRA owner's disability
ii) Are taken because of the IRA owner's death
iii) Are a series of loan repayments made over the life expectancy of the IRA investor
iv) Are used to pay for unreimbursed medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of the adjusted gross income of the IRA owner
v) Are used to pay for medical insurance premiums if the IRA investor has been unemployed for more than 12 weeks
vi) Are used to pay for the purchase of a principal residence (maximum of $10,000 can be withdrawn). Also, the IRA investor must not have previously owned a home within the last 24 months.
vii) Are used to pay for higher education expenses of the IRA owner or eligible dependants/family
viii) Are used to pay back taxes of an IRS levy placed against the IRA
Can I contribute to or open a Roth IRA if I work outside the US? I am a US citizen, but work overseas locally for a foreign employer. I have been told that I can't contribute to the IRA, but have no further information.
If so, what are other ideal retirement savings vehicles for expats?
Can I secretly start IRAs for my children and make small annual contributions, since they won't do it themselves? They have jobs but aren't earning (or saving) much right now.
You may be able to set up an IRA naming your children as beneficiaries or joint owners of the account, but I'm not sure.
It'd probably be easier to contribute to your own, then transfer the money to them (or to an investment account they own) when you reach retirement age. This of course assumes you aren't already maxing out your contributions; it also assumes you'll be able to ensure that the money given to them will end up being invested, not spent.
But I'd check with Vanguard or one of the other companies to see if you can set up an account with your children named as beneficiaries.
To answer Dean back on October 3rd (or anyone else who read all the replies to this and wants to know) Roth IRA's have the one specific advantage of being able to withdraw money tax free.
IF you still have a large income in retirement, from real estate, stock portfolio, owning your own business etc, you might not have a lower tax rate in retirement than you do right now. That is why for many people a ROTH makes sense.
For the average American who I recently heard only has $2300 in the bank outside of their retirement account… the traditional IRA and 401k/403b accounts make the most sense because when they stop making income from their job, their income will just be whatever they remove from their retirement account for living expenses that year and will be in a lower tax bracket.

A Five Star Masterpiece is how I feel about "Citizen Kane". Orson Wells and his "Mercury Players" are all great, especially Joseph Cotten. If you have missed this movie, then you are missing one of the Best Classsic Movies of All Time!
Touted by the AFI (American FIlm Institute) to be the single greatest American Movie of all time, Citizen Kane spares nothing in the way of it's grand scale epicness. This was the role that defined Orson Welles as a major force in cinema, and this movie is a testiment to his filmmaking genius. From the gloominess of the opening shot of Kane's mansion on a fog swept hillside to the conclusion where you discover what the last word of Kane which was ROSEBUD means. Allegedly, this film was a loosely based biography of famed newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, and met with major controversy as Hearst had the film blacklisted and blocked from release in several theatres across the U.S. As time has passed though this picture continues to endure and is as thought provoking and classic in nature as it was at the time of it's release 1943.
The Saint John Free Public Library's Movie Club showed CITIZEN KANE on Saturday, February 16, 2013 as part of its ORSON WELLES MONTH, celebrating the work of the late, great actor/writer/director. Questions for further discussion: - Judging CITIZEN KANE by modern moviegoing standards is tricky: when it came out in 1941, many of the techniques it used were brand-new, if not revolutionary, and they have been copied or echoed by innumerable films made since then. But be honest: do you like KANE, or does it seem kinda old and familiar to you? - What do you make of Kane as a character, modeled after prominent American business tycoons like publisher William Randolph Hearst? Is he an admirable man, or ultimately foolish, or both? Does he deserve his fate? - Does KANE's nonlinear storytelling technique, which presents Kane's life in flashbacks, work for you, or do you reckon a more straightforward, cradle-to-grave biography would have worked better?
A grand, innovative, brilliant film. What an incredibly gifted and talented human being was Orson Welles to have co-written, directed, produced, edited, and starred in such a spectacular epic as this... AT 24 YEARS OLD. Very interesting commentary by Peter Bogdanovich and Roger Ebert on Welles' creative cinematography concepts such as 'deep focus', 'cut-less' sequences, etc. *** A return viewing, and the companion disk's 1996 PBS feature, "The Battle Over Citizen Kane" included in this newer release is not to be missed by those fond of this jewel. I'm amazed at the audacity of Welles with his blatant satirical depiction of Hearst, a man with more money than God, who could've easily made Orson "disappear". Welles was a young man, feeling bulletproof; and he gambled, and was cut off at the knees after locking horns with old powerful money. How sad that the man never got his due recognition in the twilight of his life. FIVE STARS.
What can a lowly critic like myself possibly bring to a film like this? It's a masterpiece in every possible respect. Gothic angles illustrate beautifully the savage world Charles Foster Kane creates for himself, destroying his socialistic ideals in favor for shallow opulence and officious greed. The cinematograhy by Gregg Toland offers layers upon layers to an already perfectly established setting, leading performances by Orson Welles, Agnes Moorehead, Joseph Cotton, Everett Sloan and Roy Collins skillfully adds dimension to a perfect screenplay. Greatest film of all time? Personally speaking I can think of other films I adore more than Kane, but whatever acclaim is piled upon it is well deserved. An honest to god masterpiece.
Considered one of the Top 10 classic movies (arguably #1). See my GerryD Lists for other classic movies.
Spoiling the Spoiler Alert; First, Gregg Toland deserves a lot of the acclaim this movie gets. The cinematography is stunning. The manner is which the story is relayed was quite unique at the time. But there is no real explanation for the transition from idealist to stingy old man save perhaps power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. How ironic then is it that the guy the film was about shot it down using his power to intimidate. P. S. Rosebud was Hearst's pet name for his amours privates. Herman J. Mankiewicz, who reportedly had more to do with the script than Welles, was a confidant, and this was his way of ticking Hearst off. At least that's what I picked up in Film 101.
*Spoiler Alert* Don't read if you don't want to know what Rosebud meant. Ok, so Rosebud was what was written the sleigh Kane had when he was a child. The sleigh is seen in the scene with his parents, when Mr, Thatcher comes to retrieve him, but we never get to see the other side of the sleigh. The globe that he was holding when he died was a snow globe and no doubt probably reminded him of the snow in Colorado. It was snowing when he was taken away from his parents. He was a rich man that could buy anything in the world and have anything that he wanted, except his childhood with his parents was taken away from him. That's something that money could never buy him back. The movie was just okay for me.
If someone with my limited attention span (roughly three to seven seconds) can sit through this film not once... not twice... but THRICE! ... a simple 'wow' will have to suffice. Every frame of this movie is jam-packed with life, and the transitions in this movie -- alone -- warrant multiple viewings. Documentary on second disk is a must for Orson-heads (though ultimately depressing). As an aside, there's a soundbite from one of his colleagues (in the doc) regarding his "vainglorious"-ness that is just asking to be sampled. Orson Welles: Original Gangster.
I enjoyed the extras to this disk set. I did not know about the fighting and uproar this movie cause and how young Orson was when he did this movie. Now I am not surprised that he didn't win best picture in 1941. before I saw the extras I always wondered why the movie did not win since it is considered one of the best movies of all time.

Mr. Kane was a man who got everything he wanted and then lost it. Maybe 'Rosebud' was something he couldn't get, or something he lost. Anyway, it wouldn't have explained anything... I don't think any word can explain a man's life. No, I guess 'Rosebud' is just a... piece in a jigsaw puzzle... a missing piece..."

|Onsets of nuclear deformation from measurments with the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometer
|Sarah Naimi1
|CERN-ISOLDE; ISOLTRAP Collaboration Collaboration(s)
|Mass measurements provide important information concerning nuclear structure. This work presents results from the pioneering Penning trap spectrometer Isoltrap at CERN-ISOLDE. High-precision mass measurements of neutron-rich manganese (58−66Mn) and krypton isotopes (96,97Kr) are presented, of which the 66Mn and 96,97Kr masses are measured for the first time. In particular, the mass of 97Kr was measured using the preparation trap and required the definition of a new fit function. In the case of the manganese isotopes, the N = 40 shell closure is addressed. The two-neutron-separation energies calculated from the new masses show no shell closure at N = 40 but give an estimation of the proton-neutron interaction (around 0.5 MeV) responsible for the increase of collectivity and nuclear deformation in this mass region. The new krypton masses show behavior in sharp contrast with heavier neighbors where sudden and intense deformation is present, interpreted as the establishment of a nuclear quantum shape/phase transition critical-point boundary. The new masses confirm findings from nuclear mean-square charge-radius measurements up to N = 60 but are at variance with conclusions from recent gamma-ray spectroscopy. Another part of this work was the design of new decay spectroscopy system behind the Isoltrap mass spectrometer. The beam purity achievable with Isoltrap will allow decay studies with and detection coupled to a tape-station. This system has been mounted and commissioned with the radioactive beam 80Rb.
