[Mercury, March 24, 1863][OAF]
Camp Meigs, Readville, March 21
Messrs. Editors:–
The glorious 54th (that is to be) is getting on nicely, there being now in camp 368 men, two companies, A and B, being full, and C and D wanting a few more men to fill them up, which can easily be done in a very few days. We have five men in our company who are enlisted, but expect them to be discharged, on account of physical disability; indeed, if every man had been received who applied, I think it would very near have filled five companies.
The men appear to be all very well satisfied, except a few in Cos. A and B, who are of a class to be satisfied with nothing. Two of them attempted to skedaddle last Friday night, but were brought to by feeling a bayonet in the rear, as Co. C had sentinels posted at the time. They say their grounds for trying to desert are that they have received no bounty, as was represented they should as soon as they had enlisted and been sworn in. I think the men who are about the country recruiting should not misrepresent the conditions, but leave it more to the judgment and patriotism of men to enlist, simply providing conveyance to the camp, as, I think, they are authorized to do. As regards the men who came from New Bedford in this company, they do not seem to think so much about any bounty, but, by the vote of the City Council, a sum of money was appropriated for the relief of the families of colored citizens enlisted in the 54th regiment, and some of the men fear their families are suffering now for the want of their customary support.
You, Messrs. Editors, may be well aware that colored men generally, as a class, have nothing to depend upon but their daily labor; so, consequently, when they leave their labors and take up arms in defence of their country, their homes are left destitute of those little necessities which their families must enjoy as well as those of white men; and as the city has passed a resolution to pay them a sum, they would rather their families received it than become objects of public charity. We are all determined to act like men, and fight, money or not; but we think duty to our families will be a sufficient excuse for adverting to the subject.
John H. Atkinson, of New Bedford, is in the hospital, very sick. I could not ascertain exactly what his complaint is, but think it is the effect of cold. With that exception the health of the men is very good.
We have a very pleasant time in our barracks every evening, having music, singing, and sometimes dancing. We have two musicians who regale us with very fine music—a great deal better than a 'feller' pays to hear sometimes.
The ladies of the Relief Society will please accept the thanks of Co. C. for those shirts, socks and handkerchiefs, which should have been expressed in the last letter. God bless the ladies.
PS. Wm. T. Boyd, of Pa., died this day (23d). He was in the hospital but two days. He was a member of Co. B.

Messrs. Editors:'
—Presuming a few lines from this locality would prove interesting to some of your many readers, I have taken upon myself the task of penning them. Among the men in this camp the New Bedford men stand A No. 1, in military bearing, cleanliness and morality; not because I happen to belong to the New Bedford company do I assert this, for if the other companies proved to be better ordered than ours, I should be proud to confirm it. All the men appear to regard Capt. Grace with (I might say) veneration; for he presents that uncommon combination of a man strict in military discipline, but always tempered with kindness; a man who will go to the utmost length of his military power to assist or benefit an inferior. A better man, in my judgment, could not have been placed in command of a company of colored men; for he seems to have studied the peculiar modes of thought, action and disposition of the colored men so well, that there is the most cheerful obedience rendered to the most imperative command. These opinions are not hastily formed, but are arrived at by a close and careful observation of things as they are.
We have prayers every morning and evening, most of the men taking part in them; and I need not add that there is a great degree of fervor exhibited vide Bethel Church, Kempton street. As for myself I find it somewhat dull when I am not on duty, as I have nothing to read, although it is a source of amusement to watch some of the odd capers or listen to some of the equally ludicrous speeches, so peculiar to some of our class of people. They are all anxious to perfect themselves in drill that they may the sooner meet the Rebs, and they all feel determined to fight; they all say that is their wish, and I cannot doubt it, for there seems to be a sort of preternatural earnestness about their expressions which no one can mistake. They do not, some of them, yet exactly comprehend the future benefits of enlisting, but they have an impulse equally as great, so far as they are capable of understanding it, and that is revenge. Hoping the Relief Committee have paid the money to the families of those who are here in camp, for I know some who needed it very much, I will close.
[1863-03-15] The Colored Men and the War.; AN ADDRESS FROM FRED. DOUGLASS.
[Mercury, March 7, 1863]
Camp Meigs, Readville, March 6
Messrs. Editors: —Immediately upon our arrival here on Wednesday afternoon, we marched to the barracks, where we found a nice warm fire and a good supper in readiness for us. During the evening the men were all supplied with uniforms, and now they are looking quite like soldiers. They all seem contented, and appear in the best spirits. We have drill morning and afternoon, and the men are taking hold with a great degree of earnestness.
Col. Shaw is on the ground, doing all he can for the comfort of those now in camp. Lieut. Dexter has been appointed to the New Bedford company, but has not yet made his appearance. The men from New Bedford are the largest in camp and it is desired to fill up the company from our city, which can and ought to be done. Lieut. Grace will be in the city tomorrow and he wants to bring a squad back with him.
[Mercury, March 3, 1863]
Messrs. Editors:'
—As the time draws near for the departure of the men Capt. Grace has recruited, for camp, and there is not a sufficient number to form a whole company, does it not behoove every colored man in this city to consider, rationally with himself, whether he cannot be one of the glorious 54th? Are the colored men here in New Bedford, who have the advantage of education, so blind to their own interest, in regard to their social development, that through fear of some double dealing, they will not now embrace probably the only opportunity that will ever be offered them to make themselves a people. There are a great many I must confess, who, Micawber-like, "are waiting for something to turn up"; but they will have to learn sooner or later, that if anything does "turn up" to their advantage, they will have to be the means of turning it up themselves; they must learn that there is more dignity in carrying a musket in defence of liberty and right than there is in shaving a man's face, or waiting on somebody's table. — Not that it is any degradation to perform those offices, but those who perform them are considered nothing but appendages to society; for in either case, the recipients of these favors could perform them for themselves on a "pinch." Another class are those who argue "it won't pay to go for a soger"; but I think there are not nine out of ten who will realize as much in a year here at home as a man will in the army in the same length of time. And again, if the colored man proves to be as good a soldier as it is confidently expected he will, there is a permanent field of employment opened to him, with all the chances of promotion in his favor. Such an event is not unlikely in this country, any more than it is in India and other colonial dependencies of England. In India the native militia is considered equal if not superior to the English soldiery in tactics and bravery, and there are natives holding the highest military positions. Our people must know that if they are ever to attain to any position in the eyes of the civilized world, they must forego comfort, home, fear, and above all, superstition, and fight for it; make up their minds to become something more than hewers of wood and drawers of water all their lives. Consider that on this continent, at least, their race and name will be totally obliterated unless they put forth some effort now to save themselves.
G. — One of the 54th

Advance Review: "What if Hilary had divorced Bill?" seems to be the jumping off point for USA's new edgier mini-series, Political Animals. Centered around Sigourney Weaver's (Alien, Avatar) Elaine Barrish, a former First Lady whose failed run for President gives her the strength to finally leave her husband and focus on a political career independent of his philandering, glad-handing ways, Animals has a great ensemble cast all delivering acceptably above-average dialogue. But it also feels like empty carbs.
Billed as a "limited series television event," Political Animals comes off as Sorkin-lite when compared to The Newsroom (which itself is being called Sorkin-lite compared to Sorkin's other works). But instead of choosing either journalism or politics to romanticize, Political Animals chooses both. They're both loves. They're both callings. It's unexplainable why some people would choose these lives. It's just "in you." It's TV's way of explaining why anyone would choose to have such a hectic life filled with soap opera-level scandals. As the Secretary of State, to Adrian Pasdar's (Heroes) President Garcetti, Elaine must deal with an overwhelming amount of moving parts on her unexpected journey to becoming as beloved as her ex-husband.
As a woman who was always seen as the tough, icy wife fueled by ambition, Elaine, through a series of events involving an adversarial reporter (Carla Gugino), her son's (James Wolk) engagement party, her ex (Ciaran Hinds) dating a busty Latin actress, and a hostage crisis in Iran, will finally get to start showing the American public her heart. But while competently layered for TV, Elaine is no, say, Patty Hewes from Damages. She's no anti-hero. Sure, she knows no other life other than whirlwind days of nightmarish news and is able to sufficiently suffer the slings and arrows of that schedule if she's given five minutes with a cigarette or a stiff drink, but she's also willing to put her job on the line to do what's morally right. And she now sees her President - the one she campaigned for - as a changed man full of ethical compromise. So Political Animals will be Elaine's journey from pessimist, having forever been on the arm of an optimist who cheated on her, to idealist.
But even though Political Animals is occasionally able to pleasantly subvert expectations (Gugino's reporter becoming an unlikely ally, Hand's Bill Clinton-esque "Bud" being deceptively smart as a "better husband as an ex-husband" type), it's also still overflowing with a certain amount of cheese. Everyone's catty to one another, with enough passive aggressiveness to stun an elephant. Ellen Burstyn plays Elaine's oft-drunk, "talks about getting laid all the time because she's old" mother. Sebastian Stan (Captain America: The First Avenger) does an encore performance as not only the homosexual son of the nation's top political family, but the severely troubled homosexual son of the nation's top political family. So it's NBC's Kings all over again. The one big difference between Stan's role here, as T.J., and his one as Jack on Kings, is that T.J. isn't struggling emotionally because he's hiding the fact that he's gay. He's struggling because he's was out and open about it at a young age.
Oh, but there's more. There are important dinner functions complete with multiple guests headed into the bathroom in order to expose their character flaws to the audience (bulimia, drugs, etc). There's the Pulitzer-winning reporter from a newspaper getting stabbed in the back by the evil, shallow gossip column blogger. There's the ass-grabbing Russian diplomat and the slimeball Chief of Staff. Creator/Writer/Director Greg Berlanti (Brothers & Sisters, Dirty Sexy Money) is able pull together a lot of fine human moments of vulnerability, but is also unable to resist certain cornball tropes that work to undermine those moments. Political Animals also suffers a bit from "look how many new bad words we can say no matter how awkward they might sound in a scene" syndrome. So a hodgepodge of words including "douche" and "nutsack" are bandied about no matter how clunky they sound strung together.
Yes, Political Animals is racier than most USA programming. It can show light nudity and people in the midst of sex. This mini-series, airing on Sundays (premium cable's night of might), is USA's bid for a more discerning audience. It's a few steps away from their usual slate of "blue sky" programming, but only a few. Overall, this is still not a dark show. As salacious as this series might seem, it's a tale of overcoming and winning. Of prospering as a woman in politics, where women are expected to be good at all things while men are accepted when they're only good at a few. Some of the sleaze feels forced, but the sentiment pervades.
Political Animals premieres on Sunday, July 15th at 10/9c on USA.

BATGIRLMedium: Comic books
Published by: DC Comics
First Appeared: 1967
Creators: Gardner Fox (writer) and Carmine Infantino (artist)
Please contribute to its necessary financial support.

When Batgirl first appeared (Detective Comics #359, January 1967), it was generally thought she'd been taken straight from the TV version of Batman, then riding high in the ratings. (The fact that Yvonne Craig didn't appear in the role until much later in the year, the September 14 episode to be exact, wasn't an
obstacle to people who presumably had advance knowledge of the show's doings.) But editor Julius Schwartz later set the record straight. She'd been introduced in DC Comics independently, to appeal to the show's strong female viewership, and producers had responded quickly by adding her to the TV cast.
Batgirl wasn't the first female Batman knock-off. That distinction went to Batwoman, who'd first appeared in 1956. What's more, the second was Batwoman's niece, who called herself Bat-Girl just like this one, only with a hyphen. But both of those characters had been retired years earlier and weren't considered viable candidates for revival, leaving the field open for a new one. (Batwoman was later revived as a lesbian, but despite the confluence of names, this is a new character.)
This Batgirl was Barbara Gordon, hitherto-unseen daughter (later retconned into a niece, no reason given) of police commissioner James Gordon, who had been a supporting character since the very beginning. Babs (as she was addressed during her first few years) was a "brain" type — graduated college summa cum laude, went on to a Ph.D., worked as a librarian — tho she did have a few physical skills, such as brown belts in both judo and karate.
She designed and made a "Batgirl" costume for a party, but never had a chance to show it off there because on the way, wearing it, she happened to see Bruce Wayne being kidnapped. As Batgirl, she leapt to the rescue, which gave him a chance to slip away and switch to his Batman persona. When the dust cleared, the costume had become too damaged to wear to the party, but she'd acquired a taste for urban adventuring. When he asked who she was, she offered to tell him only if he'd tell her his own secret identity. (They learned each other's secrets later, when she was dating Robin.) The story was written by Gardner Fox (The Flash, Hawkman) and drawn by Carmine Infantino (The Flash, Adam Strange).
Batgirl continued to appear sporadically, as a supporting character, for the next couple of years. In Detective Comics #384 (February, 1969), she got a story of her own in the back pages, replacing The Elongated Man. She continued there, alternating with Robin, until 1972. From 1975-78, she had a regular gig in Batman Family, then briefly returned to the Detective Comics back pages. It was during this period that she served a term in Congress. In the '80s she went back to supporting status, but her appearances grew less frequent as she spent more time caring for her aging father (or uncle).
Her career as Batgirl ended suddenly in The Killing Joke (1988), a graphic novel by writer Alan Moore (V for Vendetta) and artist Brian Bolland (Judge Dredd). There, The Joker shot her point-blank, injuring her spine and crippling her for life. Undaunted, she began re-emphasizing her "brain" side, patrolling Gotham City through cyber-space under the name "Oracle". Since then, she's carved out a unique niche for herself in the superhero world, working with The Suicide Squad, The Justice League and others, as well as by herself.
The name "Batgirl" has since been used by a couple of other women in DC comics, but they tend not to stick with the role. In other media, however, Barbara remains Batgirl. In The Batman/Superman Hour (1968-69) her voice was done by Jane Webb (Sabrina the Teenage Witch). In The New Adventures of Batman (1977-78) and Tarzan & the Super Seven (1978-80), she was voiced by Melendy Britt (Princess Aura, no relation, in Flash Gordon). In Batman & Robin (1997), with her last name changed to Wilson, she was played by Alicia Silverstone (Heather in the Scooby Doo movies). In Batman: The Animated Series and related '90s animation, she was voiced by Melissa Gilbert (a face actress without other toon connections). In Batman Beyond (1999) an older Barbara, now police commissioner, was voiced by Stockard Channing (who also lacks toon connections).
Back in comic books, still confined to a wheelchair, she's currently the leader of Birds of Prey, which also includes The Huntress, The Black Canary and sometimes other female superheroes.

Syracuse, N.Y -- A group of activists today demanded that Syracuse and Onondaga County officials investigate why a disabled man was hit by a Taser and had his hip broken in an encounter with police in May.
"This was criminal," said Sally Johnston, of Disabled in Action of Central New York. "To bully this disabled individual and to Taser him was completely beyond reason."
Brad Hulett was stung with a Taser and dragged off a Centro bus May 3 because he would not sit down on the bus. Hulett suffered a broken hip, and was taken to the Justice Center jail and held overnight.
At the news conference outside Syracuse Police headquarters on State Street, the United as One Coalition called for an investigation into what happened to Hulett, new policies and training for police officers, discipline for those responsible, and an end to jail inmates receiving poor medical care.
"This should never happen again," said Barrie Gewanter, of the New York Civil Liberties Union. "Nothing like this should ever happen again."
Gewanter released a letter to be sent today to Syracuse Police Chief Frank Fowler, Centro Executive Director Frank Kobliski, and Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin Walsh asking for a meeting.
Hulett, who suffered brain damage in 1991 when he was hit by two trains, pulled up in a taxi just before the news conference started. A woman riding in the cab with him, Linda Braun, said Hulett did not want to make any public comments. Contact Glenn Coin at email@example.com or 315-470-3251.

Are you a coffee drinker or a tea drinker? Both beverages have pros and cons. But for sure, there's one that's better in terms of nutrition and health benefits. So which of the two is it?
Coffee and tea face off in the infographic above. Coffee has more protein, calcium and phosphorus. So it's safe to say that it's the winner in this challenge. But take note that the tea featured here is black tea. If green tea were to be put side by side with coffee, green tea will probably win.

Year of Manufacture : 2015 | Driven no. of Kms. : 400
- Pros: Good performance

The performance is better than the original version of nano and I am glad I waited a little longer to invest however the space on this car sucks and I do not like it. But it is very cheap so I think it is only logical not to expect so much.

The Commies and my Christmas pudding
Daniel Thwaites, Contributor
Fidel Castro abolished Christmas in 1969. Three decades later, in anticipation of a visit from John Paul II, an editorial in the state-run newspaper announced that Cubans could have Christmas again. If there is any man in Jamaica wanting to put up with that, tell you what: Please to go and chuck off into the sea and swim to Cuba.
The original abolition was supposedly because Christmas interfered with the sugar harvest. That, at least, was the official story. The Soviets didn't even bother to give an explanation for why they cancelled Christmas. It was simple: Jesus was out and Lenin was in.
So let's keep it simple, too. That guy who cancels Christmas: Screw that guy! I know he had his reasons, and revolutions, and what not. Fine. But leave me out. So far as I'm concerned, if Karl Marx and all that Germanic philosophical rubbish has a plan to get in between me and the sorrel and Christmas pudding, too bad for Karl. This is non-negotiable. I'm not interested. Same thing for Fidel.
I imagine that the Workers Party of Jamaica, had they been successful, would have eventually got around to cancelling Christmas here, too. Hence I am glad that they didn't win out here.
That said, I cannot understand myself as separated from the impulses that gave energy to Fidel's original purposes, or from the beacon of hope for self-determination that Cuba has represented for many in the Caribbean. And I believe that Jamaica was correct that the US policy towards Cuba was irrational and counter-productive. All told, I am suspicious of the man's heart who didn't see something deeply attractive about the Cuban Revolution in its inception, and that doesn't see a champion in Fidel destroying the criminal Batista regime and chasing those crazy baldheads outa town.
However, I am equally exasperated by the mind of a man who doesn't look at "the Revolution" now with severe reservations, large dollops of contempt, and with an abiding appreciation that caught in-between the United States and the Castros, a great tragedy has befallen the people of Cuba.
More generally, it takes a studious avoidance of reality to not see that any Government whose people, if not apprehended, will hazard open ocean on makeshift watercraft is not a good Government. But never doubt the PhD's. Choking with resentment for the United States, they can square any circle. I have learnt to never underestimate the capacity of academics and ideologues to completely miss the obvious.
Perhaps this is why I found Kevin O'Brien Chang's blast of common sense (in reaction to the idea that Castro has been "absolved" by history), published in Monday's paper, so satisfying.
I have no idea what absolution "by history" amounts to. Of course it was the final phrase of Castro's four-hour-long self-defence when he faced charges for leading an unsuccessful attack on the Moncada Barracks. I returned to that speech this week to find a firebrand of incredible nobility making reasonable demands on the Batista regime. But a lot has transpired since then, and only a willful blindness could miss that.
"Absolution" is a release from guilt or punishment, or in church circles, a formal declaration of the forgiveness of sins. In Castro's mouth back in the early '50's, it expressed a determination that future generations wouldn't fault him for raising arms against a tyranny. I can respect that.
But if we are to apply absolution to many decades since, it requires much more caution. Even putting one side Zhou Enlai's famous judgment about the impact of the French Revolution - "too early to say" - the record, even from where we now stand, is determinedly mixed. Just for starters, the idea of state ownership of the means of production doesn't exactly have a growing clientele. And it's not that people aren't aware of the idea. It's more that the goods are on display, but the people aren't buying. Furthermore, the restrictions on key freedoms are intolerable, and if we wouldn't abide it here, we shouldn't hypocritically countenance it elsewhere.
While on communistic matters, I note the recent public discussion about the suitability of notorious ex-communist Trevor Munroe as executive director of the National Integrity Action (NIA). I think it's a great role for Trevor. Prominent among the founders of the NIA are various large private sector corporations, the USAID, and DFID (the UK). Ironies abound, and so they should. The objectives of NIA are uniformly laudable, and Trevor is capably advancing them. What more is necessary?
Witch-hunting and tests for ideological purity were (are) distinct features of communist regimes, and we should avoid enacting on Trevor what he was likely to have impressed upon us if he had had more communistic success here.
It's not that Trevor isn't a decent man. I think he is. But that alone never stopped the communists from liquidating large numbers of enemies. I wouldn't have made it, for within short order, probably when some progressive-thinking WPJ intellectual intent on absolution by history cancelled Christmas, my ham would be cooked and I would be on a bamboo-raft headed somewhere else.
Besides, I believe the attraction of Leninism for intellectuals and academics was that it gave them such a prominent role. Typically, a student would experience the onset of Leninism like a religious conversion because that's what it was - a secular religion. The NIA is surely a safer outlet for that revolutionary energy, and one we might even benefit from.
If there has been a genuine de-conversion, though, what I would want to hear from Trevor is: How deep were the errors in the Marxist understanding of mankind, history, and the economy? Depending on what's said, of course, one could learn if Trevor sees his previous ideas as flawed and inadequate, or if the ideas were fine, but it's just the timing that was off. I ask this not just because I need to know how close to keep my raft-builder, but because I believe there's a lot to learn from this secular God that failed.

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
In Listing 7, a CREATE TABLE statement creates the MonthlyPOPivot table which is populated with data from the MonthlyPurchaseOrders table PIVOTed by VendorID.
In Listing 8, a SELECT statement uses the UNPIVOT operator on the data in the MonthlyPOPivot table to rotate from column-based data to row-based data.
Exception Handling with TRY/CATCH
I doubt I'll get an argument from anyone when I say that error handling in T-SQL has been one of its weakest features. Checking for an error code after a statement runs to determine if everything went according to plan is not the best way to handle errors. Fortunately, SQL Server 2005 modernizes error handling with the addition of the TRY/CATCH command blocks.
Listing 9 shows a TRY/CATCH block wrapped around an attempt to delete a record from the Sales.SalesPerson table. Unfortunately, when the code executes, SQL Server will find a reference constraint in place and the record can not be deleted. When the DELETE fails, the CATCH block takes over and displays information pertaining to the error that occurred.
Ranking Functions
The ranking functions provide the ability to add columns that are calculated based on a ranking algorithm. These functions include ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), DENSE_RANK(), and NTILE().
The RANK() function works much like the ROW_NUMBER() function in that it numbers records in order. When the column specified by the ORDER BY clause contains unique values, then ROW_NUMBER() and RANK() produce identical results. They differ in the way they work when duplicate values are contained in the ORDER BY expression. ROW_NUMBER will increment the numbers by one on every record, regardless of duplicates. RANK() produces a single number for each value in the result set. In Listing 12, the EmpID 164 occurs twice with a ranking value of 1 for both records while EmpID 223 displays with a ranking value of 3.
DENSE_RANK() works the same way as RANK() does but eliminates the gaps in the numbering. In Listing 13, EmpID 164 occurs twice with a ranking value of 1 for both records while EmpID 223 displays with a ranking value of 2 instead of a 3 like RANK() assigned.
NTILE() breaks the result set into a specified number of groups and assigns the same number to each record in a group. In Listing 14, you can see that the result set has been divided into five evenly distributed groups.
The behaviors of all the ranking functions are very similar. Listing 15 provides a side-by-side comparison of them all so you can get a better idea of what their differences are.

Odds are you've had more than one job in your life. If an old employer put some money aside for your retirement, don't just forget about it -- put it to work by investing it the way you want to.
You may think of job-hopping as a recent phenomenon, but it's been going on for quite a while. According to a study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that ran from 1979 to 2005, baby boomers held an average of 10.5 jobs between ages 18 and 40.
If you've worked for anywhere near that many different employers, it's fairly likely that at least one of them provided you with a retirement plan -- most likely a 401(k) plan. Don't just let that money sit there until you retire. Consider all your options.
Don't just cash that 401(k) money out
Actually, if you've left your old 401(k) accounts alone, you're already doing better than most. According to one study, 45% of all workers simply cash out their 401(k) when they change jobs.
But taking money out of your 401(k) is a big mistake. You'll immediately owe taxes on the money you withdraw, along with a 10% penalty in most cases. More importantly, you'll miss out on the opportunity for decades of tax-deferred growth on your investments, decades that can turn relatively modest amounts into surprisingly large sums of money.
Leaving your 401(k) investments alone
So if cashing out your 401(k) is a mistake, should you just leave it alone at your former employer? That's a viable option in many cases, but there are a couple of things you should watch out for.
Many 401(k) plans charge fees and other costs that make them relatively expensive. So expensive, in fact, that many companies have gotten sued by employees. Companies facing lawsuits include Wal-Mart
In addition, the financial companies that sponsor such plans have come under scrutiny. Specifically, lawyers are investigating plan sponsors that offer variable annuities within 401(k) plans, including firms like AIG
As a plan participant, you don't want to get involved with all that litigation, especially if you have only a small amount in the plan. Fortunately, there's an easy way out that makes a lot of sense for most people.
Roll those 401(k) accounts over!
Once you've left your job, you can move your 401(k) account money into your own IRA. The tax laws call this a rollover, and it opens up a huge range of choices.
Within a 401(k), you're pretty much stuck with the investment options your employer gives you, even if they're lousy. An IRA, on the other hand, has almost limitless choices on how you can invest. You can open an IRA with a broker, mutual fund company, or other financial institution, giving you access to nearly any type of investment. If you need to open a new account, you can look at several choices right here with our broker comparison chart.
In addition, you can now rollover a 401(k) directly to a Roth IRA. Although you'll pay tax as if it were a Roth conversion, all your future earnings will be tax-free.
There are a few situations where it might make sense to keep your 401(k). For instance, some plans let you take penalty-free distributions at age 55, whereas an IRA imposes penalties until you're 59 1/2. In addition, if you own employer stock that you want to hang onto, you may not be able to transfer it out of your 401(k), especially if the stock isn't publicly traded.
Usually, though, if you've got an old retirement account with a former employer, the smart thing is to go ahead and roll it over. The flexibility, cost savings, and tax benefits will make you glad you did.

Oilers recall Liam Reddox and Linus Omark
I'm glad to hear that Gingerballs will finally get a chance under Tom Renney. I hope Colin Fraser sits while Liam Reddox gets some games. Our bottom six could use the hard work ethic of a guy like Reddox. Jordan Eberle's injury sounds minor, so far, so Omark might not be here long, but we'll see.
Here is official word from the Oilers:
Omark, 23, was recalled by the Oilers on December 8 and made his NHL debut on December 10 vs. Tampa Bay, scoring the deciding goal in the shootout. He played in eight games collecting a goal and four assists before being assigned back to Oklahoma City on December 31.
The 5'10", 174-pound Overtornea, Sweden native has appeared in 28 games with Oklahoma City this season scoring 31 points (14-17-31), ranking him third among Barons scorers.
Reddox is currently second on the Barons scoring list with 33 points (18-15-33) and is a team-best plus 14. This is the first time Reddox has been recalled this season.
The 24-year-old native of Whitby, Ontario, was originally drafted by the Oilers in the fourth round (112th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. In 56 career NHL games, Reddox has 14 points (5-9-14) and 14 penalty minutes.
One major point of note…. Liam Reddox has to clear waivers to be sent back down. So that might keep him here.
6 Responses to "Oilers recall Liam Reddox and Linus Omark"
Omark played 2 games since being sent back. He tallied one goal on January 1st and 4 assists on January 2nd. 5 points in two games since his return to the farm.
Although Reddox lacks size, he's got to be an improvement over Colin Fraser or JF Jacques. The Oilers are looking for a spark within the bottom 6. An energy player on a call up usually delivers in his first few games, it's just a matter of sustaining that level of play.
Hopefully Reddox brings the energy and Omark plays a better two way game.

Surely academics are above getting involved with the arbitrary declarations of love that are demanded on St Valentine's Day?
Not at all, it seems – particularly for the many scholars on Twitter, who embraced the #AcademicValentines hashtag with gusto, using it to share poems and chat-up lines that should resonate in universities up and down the country.
"Roses are red, violets are blue/I might say 'revise and resubmit,' but I'd never reject you," read one example, tweeted by Brian J. Phillips (@brian_jphillips), research professor at the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics in Mexico.
Alice Evans (@alicevanslse), fellow in human geography in the department of geography and environment at the London School of Economics, seemed to have weddings on the brain as her first #AcademicValentines tweet read simply: "Call for proposals."
However, it wasn't all about love for Ms Evans. "We appreciate your submission but regrettably, it is not within the scope of the journal," read her second suggestion, translating this as "it's not you it's me".
Other academics took their cue from songs. "If you like it then you shoulda cited references and put a bibliography on it," said former professional American footballer turned film-maker Matthew A. Cherry (@MatthewACherry), drawing inspiration from Beyoncé, while Sana Bau (@SanaBau), a PhD student in the School of Botany at the University of Melbourne, chose to look a little further back in time to Dead or Alive, the 1980s pop band. "You spin me right round, baby right round," she tweeted, adding, "like a centrifuge."
Mauro Dragoni (@maurodragoni) proved that romance is very much alive and well in Italy. "All big data of the world cannot provide a proof-of-concept of how much you are beautiful," tweeted the Fondazione Bruno Kessler researcher, while historian Mark Williams (@ExileonWainSt) asked simply: "Do you believe in love at first cite?"
Peter Tennant (@Peter_Tennant), junior epidemiologist at Newcastle University, captured the feeling of love in a way that any scholar will understand. "When we're together, I feel that same head-rushing thrill as when someone cites one of my papers," he said, while Tim Crowe (@CroweTim), a nutrition academic at Deakin University in Australia, said: "On a scale of 1 to 10, I give you an impact factor of 11."
There was a hint of regret in some of the Valentine's tweets. "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" began Angie Straathof (@angiegoesNL). "I heard they were lovely and temperate, but I spent them all in the lab," concluded the PhD researcher at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.
Others were suggestive. "I want to examine public and private spheres with you," declared Nele Lenze (@nele_lenze), research fellow at the Middle East Institute of the National University of Singapore, while University of California Riverside graduate student Michael Matson (@locomike1219) said: "You're so hot you could run a 40 minute liquid autoclave cycle."
Not to be outdone, we used Times Higher Education's Twitter account (@timeshighered) to get involved ourselves. Our verse read: "Roses are red, violets are blue…I am radically underutilising my PhD in botany."

· Supt of Public Instruction Diane Douglas: If you need to update your registration or know anyone who needs to register to vote, go to this link before midnight on Monday, October 6th. Video of our recent debate on KAET is now online. Click on the image below to watch the full debate. During the debate my opponent showed his elitist worldview by:
o Defending the radical TUSD Ethnic Studies program
o Placing academic theory above real-world results
o Wanting to rush through unproved federal standards without listening to the concerns of teachers and parents
His plans to fundamentally change our education system are not right for our children and they are not right for Arizona. Thank you again for your support.
· Attorney General Candidate Mark Brnovich: The Arizona Department of Financial Institutions (ADFI) exists to protect consumers and ensure "the safety and soundness of the financial services industry in Arizona. Under Democrat Felecia Rotellini's watch as agency Supervisor (2006-2009), the State of Arizona became Ground Zero for the kinds of mortgage fraud and lending scams that ultimately brought the entire housing market crashing down. According to the Mortgage Asset Research Institute Fraud Index, a comprehensive measure of lending fraud, Arizona ranked 21st in the country for this kind of illegal activity in 2005. By the time Rotellini resigned as financial watchdog for ADFI in summer 2009, Arizona's rate of mortgage fraud had skyrocketed to 4th in the nation, trailing only Florida (1), New York (2) and California (3). "Felecia Rotellini portrays herself as a fierce and independent prosecutor, but she has a record of failure when it comes to protecting Arizona consumers," said Mark Brnovich, Republican nominee for Attorney General. "Arizona became a national leader in lending fraud during Felecia Rotellini's failed tenure as head of the State banking department, and Arizona families paid the price as foreclosure rates skyrocketed and home values plummeted. These are the facts in black and white. Given the kid-gloves treatment Felecia Rotellini gave these banks, it's no surprise she left her position as a government regulator and immediately went to work representing these same institutions in front of the State banking department she had just departed." During a televised debated Tuesday evening on KAET-Arizona PBS (FF to 24:10), Ms. Rotellini refused to acknowledge the lending fraud statistics. Immediately following the debate, she told reporters: "I don't think those facts are right."

1. The Establishment is Bent on Destroying What's left of the Party of Lincoln: the-establishment-intends-to-end-the-republican-party
2. We hope you are reading the reports on MCRC Briefs that is put out daily regarding what is going on in the Republican party. For the first time that we know of a sitting federal Senator has actually used his PAC to defeat.... precinct committeemen in key districts! Payback for being Censured! Proving this guy will stoop to anything to keep his seat. In LD23, he had a lot of help when an aspirant for district Chair, coincidentally or not, had the same agenda and appears will also stoop to any level to get a job! Consequently, LD23 has become a laughing stock among PCs. In Graham County, where all but a handful of conservatives were defeated, these tactics have raised eyebrows at what the establishment is willing to resort to. Similar but less egregious activities in some other districts. There is an agenda here to get rid of anyone who will work for a closed primary. Like Conservatives! More on that after Nov 4 so stay tuned.
3. Perhaps a solution? Gift in Plain Wrapping (and you have seen his info on this site for a few weeks) may be the antidote for disaffected conservatives: gift-in-plain-wrapping
4. Why the 2nd Amendment is more important than ever in a dangerous world. 2nd-amendment-more-important-than-ever
5. Shawna Bolick, (R), LD28 reveals the abysmal voting record of her opponent, Democrat Eric Meyers, votes that harm Arizona, not just LD28: shawnna-bolick-criticizes-incumbent-s-abysmal-legislative-track
6. If you live in Scottsdale or know anyone who does, you should know that two "Republican" school board candidates running for election, Kim Hartman and Francesca Thomas, are working hard to hold fundraisers to help Bolick's Democrat opponent, Eric Meyers, get re-elected!! The ONLY two candidates in that race worth a vote are Laddie Guy Shane, our #1 choice, and incumbent Pam Kirby. Pass this along to your Scottsdale list!

Cherry Executive Desk, Finished with a General Finish Enduro Semi Gloss (water base). There were many challenges with this particular project. Most were involved with the lack of planning or the finish being harder to use that anticipated. I did not buy the hardware till the end which caused me to have to remake the doors and drawers, origionally my plans called for flush mount. I shot the water based poly with an HPLV sprayer, but had problems with Fish Eye, drips, runs, and uneven application. Apparently, you cannot use a tack cloth (oil base) with the water based poly, or it creates spots. I also could not get enough volume out of the gun and had to thin the poly down more and could never get it to lay right. eventually i gave up and went to a nice brush. Two coats brushed, sanded at 220, third, fouth, and fiifth coat sanded with Abralon at 360, 500, and 1000. smooth as glass finish, then waxed. I highly recomend using the Abralon pads with the orbital sander. Poplar drawers dovetailed with metal slides. The top is solid Cherry 3/4 inch thick, then around the edges another 3/4 for the appearance of 1.5 inches, and i added ply filler through the middle area where it could not be seen. Cherry ply for the sides and keyboard tray. I regret the use of Pocket holes on the inside of the cabinet. With the Glass doors, you can see the plugs and it would have been just as easy to glue and biscut, or create dado.

I really like your desk, and after you told me about your regret on using pocket screws which are visible through the glass door I have to agree. Okay lesson learnt. Move on to the next exciting project.

That is a good looking desk; solid looking yet not overdone. Nice dovetails on the drawers. Should give many years of fine service.

What are the dimensions of this desk if you don't mind me asking? I am working on a desk design now but with drawers on one side and and open shelving on the other
#5 posted 04-05-2012 03:09 AM
The Top ends up being 32×69. It is very large and is a statement within itself. The Height is 31 inches, which is 2 or 3 inches above standard being that i am 6'2'' and wanted more leg room. There are two base cabinets. 19×29. The Actual drawers are 6 inches deep 15×19.5. Drawer fronts are 8×17.75. The drawer are plenty of room for office supplies and such. The Keyboard drawer front piece is 4 inches tall, just about enough room for a keyboard and mouse, nothing more after you figure in the desk supports that are hidden and 3/4 inch drawer bottom.

So, I didn't hear the CC myself, but I understand that they fell short on SSS--and broke a longstanding record of theirs--but had increased earnings. Now, they're really being hit hard in the market today. Isn't this an over-reaction? --SirTas
...I understand that they fell short on SSS--and broke a longstanding record of theirs--but had increased earnings.CEO Burns said on the conference call that the decrease in SSS was due to a difficult comp with last year's Q2, when the company had a special promotion going. Burns also said that the company is moving forward with the franchising concept, albeit cautiously. Apparently, many franchisees are having difficulty obtaining financing these days, he said. He wouldn't rule out providing financial assistance to qualified buyers. But my impression was that he is somewhat reluctant to take the company down this road. Just wondering, has anyone every been to an O'Charley's? (I haven't.) What are they like--somewhere in between a Chili's and an Outback?
What are they like--somewhere in between a Chili's and an Outback? We eat there pretty often. It's less "theme-y" than Outback, food is not as pricey. Probably more like a Chili's (hard for me to say that--I don't like Chili's at all!). You can get a very good steak dinner for under $15, with salad and fresh bread. They make their own dressings, soups, etc. and the fish has always been nice and fresh. The bar section usually does a good business. Management fixes problems pretty quickly (like over-cooked steak), and management presence seems a lot more that at the Chili's I've been to. I think it's similar to a Bennigans or a Houlihan, if that helps, but again, the prices seem maybe a buck or so less per item. They really aim for consumers who want value for $$ but also want good-tasting fresh food. You're not going to get creative chef specials, but it's good for people who just want a dependable meal, reasonably priced, and don't require their meal to be memorable or trendy. It's also fairly dieter-friendly.Sorry if I sound like an ad...I was a customer before I was a shareholder.Kathryn(darn...now I'm hungry)
Also, they serve alcohol, but I don't know whether Chili's or Outback does. I think that's a big plus. It can enhance the meal (for people who choose it). --And some people of course can just drink and not have any meal!As for fish--was that on the regular menu or was that some sort of special? DW really likes fish, but was disappointed not to see it on the menu when we went to O'Charley's. --SirTas
As for fish--was that on the regular menu or was that some sort of special? DW really likes fish, but was disappointed not to see it on the menu when we went to O'Charley's. The one here in WInston-Salem, NC has grilled salmon on the menu all the time, and grilled tuna as a special pretty frequently (they may have added the grilled tuna to the regular menu). I'm not a big fish-eater, but DH loves the salmon.Kathryn
Kathryn and SirTas – thanks for the info. I've been watching CHUX for a year or so but haven't bought the stock yet.I would think SSS should be pretty good this quarter (Q3). Last year's Q3 was impacted significantly by the events of Sept. 11, the company has said. That should make for an easy comparison. If SSS does somehow drop this quarter, I would think that's a sign of trouble. Listening to the CC, I was impressed that management seems to have a good focus on cost control, which is critical to success in this industry. The company has a hedging program that allows it to lock in costs on about 70% of items on the menu.

People Skills
Because my major is Media, I have had many opportunities to work in group settings with other students. This has taught me how to work well with people and I know how important it is to compromise and work hard with other people to accomplish tasks. Also, I have had many jobs that I have had to work with customers and have had to please them. I am easy going and know how to work hard.
My name is Sara McMahon and I am currently 22 years old. I am a senior at the University of Hartford. I am a Communications major with an emphasis in Media.
I love learning about current events and I love staying informed about what is gong on in the world. I love to read and I love being social with family members and friends. I took a few TV production classes college and I loved it. I would really be interested in working for a TV station at some point in my life.

George Michael: 'Kate can cope with fame, she's stronger than Princess Diana'
SINGER George Michael has heaped praise on Princess Kate saying she is "stronger" than tragic Princess Diana.
He paid tribute to the 32-year-old Duchess Of Cambridge while discussing his friendship with her tragic mum-in-law.
He believes Kate will be able to deal with the "lunacy" of royal fame much better than husband William's crash-victim mother.
He said: "I think Diana would have been incredibly happy for William and Kate.
"And I think she'd also be really, really pleased that William has met and fallen in love with someone who has the strength of character to be able to deal with the sorts of things that she couldn't."
The troubled singer was a close friend of Diana, who died in a 1997 Paris car crash when she was 36.
George, 51, recorded a cover of Stevie Wonder's You And I for Kate and her husband William's wedding in 2011.
"I think she'd also be really, really pleased that William has met and fallen in love with someone who has the strength of character to be able to deal with the sorts of things that she couldn't"George Michael
And he sympathised with the couple's massive public profile, revealing that fame nearly sent him mad.
George explained: "I do know just how challenging and exacting that level of fame can be.
"It's like living in a goldfish bowl. Sometimes, especially during the Faith years, I felt close to lunacy."
The singer also admitted that a spell in jail for driv-ing under the influence of drugs and a near-fatal bout of pneumonia made him quit cannabis.
George, who once proudly boasted of smoking 25 spliffs a day, said: "I decided to change my life and I haven't touched it for well over a year-and-a-half now."
He added that his shock brush with death had been "very frightening".
But he said he was "so grateful" to have survived.
The star, who revealed he was gay in 1998, also branded the reaction to diver Tom Daley's coming out announcement as "hugely encouraging".
But he also slammed bosses and scriptwriters of BBC One soap EastEnders as "irresponsible" for depicting its gay characters as constantly struggling with their sexuality.
