It just keeps growing! As Forbes pointed out, the Versace stake currently for sale would value the company at $5.8 billion – most likely vaulting Allegra and Santo Versace into the B-league. They would join fellow Italians Giorgio Armani, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, Renzo Rosso, and Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli at the top of the luxury earners list – at least as of last year (this year's rankings are still being tabulated). That makes Italy, as far as I can tell, the land with the largest amount of luxury industry billionaires. Interesting, no? Read more

(Story updated to include Sterne Agee comments and closing share prices.) NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Dell ( DELL), the No. 3 PC maker, is in talks to go private, according to reports from Bloomberg, citing two unnamed sources. Dell is in discussions with multiple private equity buyers, sources told Bloomberg. Still, the talks are preliminary and could fall apart. Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu wrote in a Monday client note that a potential takeover is possible but low in likelihood, given the financing needed to buy Dell, which currently has a market value in excess of $21 billion, and the PC maker's challenging competition. "
A deal of this size would likely involve multiple PE firms, and we estimate the majority of its businesses (70%) remain under structural and secular pressure," Wu wrote in the Monday client note. Dell is facing competitive threats from tablet devices made by Apple ( AAPL) and Google ( GOOG). Meanwhile, the Round Rock, Texas-based PC maker is losing PC market share to competitors Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ) and Lenovo, according to a Monday analysis from RBC Capital Markets. Sterne Agee analysts wrote earlier in January that after a 10% PC-market decline in 2012, Microsoft's ( MSFT) launch of Windows 8 software and hardware may help the PC industry to low-single-digit growth in 2013. Prior to the Bloomberg report, Dell had been active in a turnaround strategy that centers on becoming more competitive in software and technological services. Such a turnaround is in the mold of IBM's ( IBM) transition to a software and services giant. HP, another struggling PC maker, is trying to embark on a similar change effort. Dell ended 2012 as one of the most acquisitive tech companies of the year, buying up Quest Software for $2.4 billion. At the early part of the year, the Michael Dell founded company cut a flurry of deals for IT services specialists such as SonicWall, Wyse Technology and AppAssure Software. Earlier in January, Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi gave the PC-maker a sum of the parts value of $12 a share. Sacconaghi, noted that both Dell and HP being valued at their breakup value by some investors given a bleak outlook for a PC market turnaround. HP's individual assets, the analyst calculated, are worth $29 a share. On Jan. 7, Dell said its head of M&A Dave Johnson left the company for private equity giant Blackstone Group ( BX) Founder Michael Dell owns 15.74% of the company's shares, according to Securities and Exchange Filings as of May 2012. In 2010, Dell said at a Bernstein investor conference he might consider taking the company private, but did not elaborate. In Monday trading, Dell shares traded nearly 13% higher to $12.29. The company's stock has shed over 20% in the past 12 months, including Monday share price gains. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York

By Sen. Paul Gazelka, Guest Columnist
I believe Minnesota will prosper with a government that is efficient in how it conducts its budget priorities by supporting hard-working Minnesota families and small business owners.
Democrat leaders announced their budget and spending targets March 20. Minnesota's current budget is $35.2 billion, and the Senate Democrats' proposal spends $38.2 billion over the next two years. This is an 8.5 percent increase in spending. Meanwhile, we wait for them to release an exact budget outlining from where they will raise the revenue. In my opinion, without a budget proposal, all you have is a spending proposal.
I believe that Minnesota doesn't need another dime from hard-working taxpayers in Minnesota until it proves that every cent the state spends can be used effectively. The unfortunate reality is that Democrats are calling for tax increases that will hit Minnesota's working families directly in their pocketbooks.
Let's be clear and transparent. Democrats are pushing to increase taxes in order to increase spending in an inefficient manner. From Gov. Dayton's push to tax Minnesota's retired "Snowbirds," to Democrat leaders in the legislature pushing for tax hikes on gas, alcohol, cigarettes and digital downloads. Under the Democrats' spending proposal, everyone in Minnesota will pay more.
Minnesota needs and deserves a budget plan that includes efficient spending. I believe growing government and bureaucracy will not help to build a stronger and more secure economy. We should make sure every dollar the state takes in is used efficiently and effectively before we even think about asking Minnesotans to pay more.
I believe our economy is fragile at the moment and the budgeting choices we must make as legislators must be responsible and far-sighted. We must look 10, 20, 30 years down the road as we make budgeting decisions today.
Raising taxes to fund ineffective programs on the backs of Minnesota families is not only unsustainable, it's irresponsible.
Sen. Paul Gazelka represents Senate District 9, which includes Morrison County.


text: Designing women's clothing is more about make than anything else. Make is the intersection of design and construction. It is literally and figuratively how and where things come together. Not surprisingly, it is also collaborative: it is where the designer and the artisan overlap. Design can be done freely knowing the artisans will be able to execute the designs.

When you take a case to court, you must file legal documents that tell the court what the dispute is and what you are asking for. Both sides of a court case must then file more documents giving the court the information it needs to make a decision. There may also be court hearings or a trial where you can present witnesses or present your case verbally, but the written documents you file are a crucial part of any case. Without them, there would be no case in court.
To help you make sure that your court documents have the information the court needs, the California courts have created a set of court forms called Judicial Council forms. These forms have boxes you need to check depending on your situation, have blank spaces for you to provide information, and give a lot of other information to both you and the court. Some of these forms are adopted (using them is mandatory) and some are approved (using them is optional, which means you must still provide the information requested on the form, but you can use a different form or just write up the information without using a form).
There are Judicial Council forms for many civil and criminal cases. When you need to file anything with a court, you should always check to see if there is a form for your exact legal problem. Click to find all current Judicial Council forms. Click for a guide on how to find and fill out family law forms on the internet.
Click if you cannot find a Judicial Council form for what you need to do and need a non-form pleading.
How to find a court form
Forms are either state forms or local forms. Most forms used at court are state forms and are on the state judicial branch's California Courts website. Local forms are usually available on your court's website. Or you can call or go to the clerk's office and ask for the local form you need.
To find Judicial Council forms online:
Note that when you see the list of forms, there is a column of form numbers. If you click on the form number, you can either print out the form blank or fill it out online and then print it. Click if you need help understanding how to fill out forms online.
To find a form when you do not know exactly what form you need, you can read the section of this Online Self-Help Center on the topic relating to what you are trying to do and you will probably find the form number and name that you need as well as a link to the form. For example, if you are looking for the form to start a divorce, go to our section on filing for divorce or legal separation. There, you should find instructions that tell you that you need to start with the Petition - Marriage/Domestic Partnership (Form FL-100 | video instructions ) and the form number will be linked to the form itself.
Using Judicial Council forms
Judicial Council forms can be very helpful to you in several ways:
Tips for filling out Judicial Council forms
Sometimes there will not be a Judicial Council form for what you need to do. In that case, you will need to draft or create your own legal document, in the right format and following the court's rules. The California Rules of Court, starting with rule 2.100, tell you what is required for any documents you file with the court.
You will have to start with "pleading paper." Your word processing program may have a template for pleading paper. Or ask your court's self-help center, family law facilitator or public law library for a sample or blank pleading paper.

Malware is the short name for 'malicious software'. It is software designed and developed for the purpose specifically to damage or disrupts a single computer, server, or computer network. Malware will track how you use your computer; change adverts and links send you to another websites or pop up adverts on websites where they should not have occurred.
Malware can include computer viruses, worms and Trojan horse:
Viuses -
is a piece of programming code that is usually hidden as something else and causes some unexpected and usually event.
Worms -
is a specific type of virus that self replicates across many computers.
Trojan Horse -
is a program in which malicious or harmful code that is contained inside what appears to be harmless programming or data, but in fact it can control and do its chosen form of damage.
Malware will try to hide itself to prevent detection, but some malware can be detected from an anti-virus scan that you can install on your computer.
The only sure way to remove malware is to use a blocking and cleaning program, but there is a downside to removing malware.
With a little planning there are some ways that you can prevent your computer against malware.

The designers of the UK's new personal accounts, the national pension scheme to be rolled out from 2012, have a great opportunity to shape the way pensions are delivered in future. They could challenge the pensions industry to come up with new ideas and indulge in blue sky thinking.
Or they could stick with standard industry products and hope they work. That seems to be the preferred approach of the respondents to the Personal Accounts Delivery Authority's consultation on how to provide retirement income.

When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it's simply not feasible to do so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next best choice; however, generating a realistic simulation at very high TPS with ease of configurability is a formidable challenge. When dealing with multiple application or transport protocols, you would be...

In IT, we sometimes coin terms for things before we know exactly what they are and how they'll be used. The resulting terms may capture a common set of aspirations and goals – as "cloud" did broadly for on-demand, self-service, and flexible computing. But such a term can also lump together diverse and even competing practices, technologies, and priorities to the point where important distinctions are glossed over and lost.

You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

An attorney's willingness to defend unpopular clients, no matter how unacceptable or even abhorrent he or she finds their views to be and no matter what the personal cost is one of the ennobling marks of the profession. In Brazil the lawyer best known and most honored for his dedication to this code of responsibility is Heráclito Fontoura Sobral Pinto (1893-1991).
Born in the state of Minas Gerais, Sobral Pinto studied law in Rio de Janeiro and spent his entire career there, first as a prosecutor and then as an advocate for criminal defendants. His name soon became synonymous with uncompromising commitment. Guided by a sense of morality, a belief in the worth of the individual and a dedication to equal justice under law - principles that derived from his strong Catholic faith - he did not hesitate to represent such controversial figures as Luiz Carlos Prestes, the legendary Communist insurgent; Harry Berger, a German working for the Comintern (Communist International) in Brazil; green-shirted militants belonging to the fascist Integralist Movement; and members of Brazil's German community prosecuted during World War II.
He also was an outspoken critic of the authoritarian regimes of Getúlio Vargas (1935-1945) and the military officers who ruled Brazil after the coup in 1964. He defended with his usual vigor political figures whose civil rights were infringed and nine members of a Chinese Communist mission arrested shortly after the coup because they were carrying what was perceived as a large amount of money. As a result of this legal work he was imprisoned for three days in 1968.
The Brazilian legal profession has heaped many honors on Sobral Pinto, whose name now adorns the lawyers' chambers at the Supreme Court in Brasília. CAROLA adds its voice to the encomia and takes great pleasure in hailing this extraordinary advocate.
[For additional information, see John W.F. Dulles, Sobral Pinto, "The Conscience of Brazil " (Univ. of Texas Press, 2002).]

Mediacom Communications has added 27 new Spanish-language channels in its Quad Cities service area along the Iowa/Illinois boundary.
The 27 channels were from Canales Latinos and replaced Mediacom's previous set of Spanish-language channels. The new channel set features Spanish versions of popular cable networks that televise sports, news and informational programming, including Discovery en Espanol, ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, History Channel en Espanol and others.
Canales Latinos is one of several Mediacom digital tiers, each with at least 20 specialty channels and available as optional additions to digital cable subscriptions, which typically cost $7.95 for the first digital package.
In addition to making Canales Latinos available in the Quad Cities, Clinton and surrounding areas, Mediacom recently added the digital channel package to its lineups in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and Des Moines, Iowa, and areas surrounding those cities.
In 2011, Mediacom, the nation's eighth-largest cable operator, embarked on its first major all-digital project in Cedar Rapids and other areas of its Iowa footprint before expanding the project to other systems.

Product Certification
Sugar Program
Fair Trade certification means that sugar cane farmers receive a fair price for their harvest. Fair Trade creates direct trade links between farmer-owned cooperatives and buyers, and provides access to affordable credit. Farmers and their families are earning a better income for their hard work, holding on to their land, keeping their kids in school, and investing in the quality of their harvest. On Fair Trade farms, producers adhere to strict standards regarding the use and handling of pesticides, the protection of natural waters, virgin forest and other ecosystems, and the management of erosion and waste. Selling at Fair Trade prices enables small sugar farmers to pay for organic certification and training in sustainable agriculture techniques. Fair Trade Certified cane sugar can be used in a wide variety of food, beverage and beauty products. Since 2005, consumers in the United States have continued to deliver tremendous impact to cane sugar growing families and communities across Latin America, Africa and Asia.
How to Import Fair Trade Sugar
- Sign a Fair Trade USA certification and licensing agreement.
- Pay Fair Trade USA an annual importer fee of $500.
- Purchase Fair Trade Certified sugar from Fair Trade cooperatives, producer groups or exporters certified by FLO-Cert. Sell Fair Trade Certified sugar to other Fair Trade registered traders and operators.
- Pay the designated Fair Trade premium to the certified cooperative--see the Pricing Database
- Submit quarterly reports to Fair Trade USA on Fair Trade Certified imports and sales. Undergo, and comply with, regular desk audits and on-site audits.
- Note: Importers who also sell their own branded, consumer packaged sugar must also pay a flat fee per pound of Fair Trade Certified sugar sold.
How to Sell Fair Trade Sugar
- Sign a Fair Trade USA certification and licensing agreement.
- Purchase Fair Trade Certified sugar from a registered importer.
- Submit a product profile application for each product to be labeled.
- Submit all packaging, sales and marketing material carrying the Fair Trade Certified logo to Fair Trade USA for approval.
- Submit quarterly reports on Fair Trade Certified sugar purchases and product sales. Undergo, and comply with, regular desk audits and on-site audits.
- Brands using sugar as an ingredient in their composite products pay a fee based on quarterly sales of labeled Fair Trade Certified products.
- Brands selling consumer packaged sugar directly to consumers as a finished product pay a flat fee per pound.
- Please ask about our program for small-scale partners, as lower fees and reporting requirements apply. Please note: For composite products with more than one ingredient, all ingredients that can be Fair Trade Certified should be Fair Trade Certified. For example, in a chocolate bar, the cane sugar, cocoa and vanilla should all be sourced from Fair Trade Certified producers. Processed formats and byproducts may also be eligible for certification. For example, molasses and/or rum sourced from Fair Trade Certified producers may be eligible for Fair Trade labeling.

AS the summer season draws to a close the penultimate week shows some division winners already in the bag and others fighting for the title in the Bridgwater & District Summer Skittles League.
Riff Raff are the current leaders, but play Outs & Ins next week to decide the final result.
Birdies are untouchable in the Main Division and the only battle is for second place - whilst Gamblers are runaway leaders in the Premier Division, three teams – Matchmakers, Limeys and Gentle Giants – are bidding for second place.
In the Mixed Divisions, Wild West are the leaders, but Mixtures and Rebellions are close on their heels and in contention to take the title.
The Bluebell Division is headed by Radishes and a final away win will seal it but Trumpeters lying in second place could take the title if they win at home against Nobs & Nockers and Radishes are defeated.
Mixed Bunch (Brunettes) have clinched the title as second place Jack & Jills have a bye on their last game (see note below).
Cornhill Division leaders Split Happens have dominated and cannot be caught.
Ladies Champions Division Patsy's Pussies have a three-point lead - and next week's games will decide the winner between them and second place Cannon Girls, who play their last game away to Flopperettes.
Tension is high in the Emeralds Division as current leaders Twiglets and second place El Syd vie for the title.
Last week's leaders in the Pearls Division Global Girls have dropped to second place by Generations who have a one-point lead after a 29 pin win at home.
Rubies leaders Spares have clinched the title with 29 points and the competition is now set to decide second place between Louby Lou's and Bobby's Team.

Choke Canyon ShareLunker Breaks Drought
ATHENS, Texas — The dry spell is over.
Three weeks passed during the height of the big bass season without a single entry into the ShareLunker program, but that ended April 9 when Dennis Segner of Fredericksburg caught a 13.17-pound largemouth from Choke Canyon Reservoir.
Segner's fish became the 16th entry into the program during the current season and is the fifth fish to come from Choke Canyon this season.
Lakes Fork and Conroe have each contributed four fish for the year.
Segner caught his fish in eight feet of water; type of lure was not reported. The fish was 25.75 inches long and 20.5 inches in girth. It was held for pickup at the Calliham Store, an official ShareLunker weigh and holding site.
The ShareLunker season runs through April 30. Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass in Texas waters can enter it into the program by calling David Campbell at (903) 681-0550 or paging him at (888) 784-0600 and leaving a number including area code.

The state's rail system is facing its first major corruption inquiry in more than five years, after a senior RailCorp manager was alleged to have solicited more than $1 million from public officials and contractors to give to his daughter.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption will hold public hearings this month into Joseph Camilleri, who until early last year was RailCorp's general manager of maintenance contracts.
According to the ICAC, Mr Camilleri and his sister, Carmen Attard, another state public servant, solicited by corrupt purposes more than $1.5 million that they gave to Mr Camilleri's daughter. It is unclear why the two were trying to obtain money for his daughter.
Annual reports show Mr Camilleri was a senior RailCorp official responsible for rolling stock and maintenance from at least 2007. It is understood he worked on the railways for 37 years before he was fired, leaving on February 15 last year. For much of the past decade, he earned at least $240,000 a year, and his salary was above $300,000 a year for the past two financial years.
The ICAC will allege that, from early 2012, Mr Camilleri requested loans from about 50 people who were either RailCorp employees or involved in tenders for RailCorp contracts. The amounts came to more than $500,000 from people with commercial relationships with RailCorp and more than $1 million from RailCorp employees.
Ms Attard, a Department of Family and Community Services employee, is alleged to have solicited about $140,000 from her colleagues for Mr Camilleri's daughter.
The public inquiry will run from February 17 to 20 and from February 25 to 28.
It is the first major corruption investigation into RailCorp or its replacement organisation, Sydney Trains, since 2007 and 2008.
During the course of that inquiry, the ICAC made 96 findings of corrupt conduct against 31 people.
It recommended the Director of Public Prosecutions consider prosecuting 33 people for more than 660 criminal offences. However, it is understood that a majority of the 33 recommended to face charges were not taken to court by the DPP.
Before the 2007 and 2008 inquiries into RailCorp, the state's railways had faced seven corruption inquiries since 1992.
Annual reports state that Mr Camilleri had been the lead representative in Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian's ''Fixing the Trains'' program for engineering, planning and asset operations.

I am reading about strings and experimenting at the same time and could do with some explanation about the following:
- Code: Select all
typeOfWeather = "snow"
temperature = "cold"
print "The %s outside is very %s!" %(typeOfWeather, temperature)
print "The " + str(typeOfWeather) + " outside is very " + str(temperature) + "!"
print "The {0} outside is very {1}!".format(typeOfWeather, temperature)
As you can see, this lot just outputs the same line three times. I believe the first one is 'older' python and the last one is newer. I'm running v2.7 and all three of these run ok.
The middle one, obviously more hassle to write, but seems to do the same thing. I'm sure this is not the case and some reasoning behind which method would be deemed more suitable would be really helpful. Maybe this is a bad example but I appreciate any input. Thanks.

Expressional Phrases ILanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Expressional phrases are teasers whereby the answer is a common phrase which you can derive from a statement or combination of statements given.
Eg "I'm taking that girl Andrea Walk out tonight to that 'tricky part' of town"
would solve to
"Take a walk on the wild side" - or broken down further: "Take A(ndrea) Walk on the wild (wiled - Trickery; cunning) side (of town)."
Therefore what would the following solve to:
"Yes Ed, it is for Grant"
AnswerTake it for granted
The person is speaking to 'Ed' and is saying that with the thing that he has, he is going to 'Take it for Grant - Ed'
What Next?

Societal drivers are impacting how food-animals are raised in the United States. Add in the changing economic conditions that those in animal agriculture are facing and there are many questions surrounding what the future might bring. Tough issues like improving farm animal and worker health and welfare require a broad perspective, an inquisitive mind, and a commitment to collaboration.
On Jan. 17, the University of Minnesota and other sponsors will present a day-long "Finding Common Ground" event to discuss these issues and more.
Societal concern about livestock welfare, whether rightly or wrongly, has driven some government and private sector policies associated with production system changes, particularly housing methods. However absent from all of this is the discussion of the animal caretaker—his/her role and the impact on the person. Whether the person is the owner/operator, a family member or hired employee, personal safety and health needs to be part of the discussion. Regardless of the production system, it needs to benefit both the animals and the workers.
The University of Minnesota's Center for Integrative Leadership, Global Initiative for Food Systems Leadership, and Upper Midwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center invite you to participate in the fourth "Finding Common Ground" forum, designed to foster conversation among participants with diverse perspectives to discover and advance a common good. Participants from academia, media, industry, intergovernmental, nongovernmental and governmental organizations will examine this issue in a neutral forum that considers multiple perspectives.
Here's a look as some of what the forum will address:
- Explore opportunities & conflicts in improving the well-being of food animals and the workers who care for them
- Strengthen appreciation & respect for different perspectives around animal welfare and worker health strategies
- Improve our collective ability to address the complexities around animal welfare and worker Health decisions
The meeting will be held on Jan. 17, 2013, and will begin with a Continental breakfast at 8:30 a.m., with the sessions running from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It will take place at the Minnesota Humanities Center, in the Commons Room, at 987 Ivy Avenue East, Saint Paul, Minn. There is a $50 per person registration fee. There is limited space available, so plan to register online at http://z.umn.edu/commonground. For more information, go to http://umash.umn.edu/commonground. For questions, contact Diane Kampa at email@example.com or 612-626-4826.

United States Colored Troops
Since the time of the American Revolution, African Americans have volunteered to serve their country in time of war. The Civil War was no exception. Official sanction was the difficulty. In the fall of 1862 there were four Union regiments of African Americans raised in New Orleans, LA: the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Louisiana Native Guard, and the 1st Louisiana Heavy Artillery (African Descent). The 1st South Carolina Infantry (African Descent) was not officially organized until January 1863; however, three companies of the regiment were on coastal expeditions as early as November 1862. Similarly, the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry was not mustered into Federal service until January 1863, even though the regiment had already participated in the action at Island Mound, MO, on October 27, 1862. These early unofficial regiments received little Federal support, but they showed the strength of the African-American soldier's desire to fight for freedom.
The first official authorization to employ African Americans in Federal service was the Second Confiscation and Militia Act of July 17, 1862. This act allowed President Abraham Lincoln to receive into the military or naval service persons of African descent and gave permission to use them for any purpose "he may judge best for the public welfare." However, the President did not authorize use of African Americans in combat until issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863.
In late January 1863, Gov. John Andrew of Massachusetts received permission to raise a regiment of African-American soldiers. The pace of organizing additional regiments was very slow. In March Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton sent Gen. Lorenzo Thomas to the lower Mississippi Valley to recruit free and contraband African Americans. Thomas was given broad authority. He was to explain the administration's policy regarding African-American soldiers and recruit volunteers to raise and command them. Stanton wanted all officers of such units to be white, but that policy was softened to allow African- American surgeons and chaplains. By the end of the war, in addition to the chaplains and surgeons, there were some 87 African-American officers. Thomas' endeavor was very successful, and on May 22, 1863, the Bureau of Colored Troops was established to coordinate and organize regiments from all parts of the country. Created under War Department General Order No. 143, the bureau was responsible for handling "all matters relating to the organization of Colored Troops." The bureau was directly under the Adjutant General's Office and its procedures and rules were specific and strict. All African-American regiments were now to be designated United States Colored Troops (USCT). At this time there were some African- American regiments with state names and a few regiments in the Department of the Gulf designated as Corps d'Afrique. All these were ultimately assimilated into the USCT, even though some of the regiments retained their state designations.
To facilitate recruiting in the states of Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee, and eventually Kentucky, the War Department issued General Order No. 329 on October 3, 1863. Section 6 of the order stated that if any citizen should offer his or her slave for enlistment into the military service, that person would, "if such slave be accepted, receive from the recruiting officer a certificate thereof, and become entitled to compensation for the service or labor of said slave, not exceeding the sum of three hundred dollars, upon filing a valid deed of manumission and of release, and making satisfactory proof of title." For this reason, some records of manumission are contained in the compiled service records reproduced in this publication.
The USCT fought in 39 major engagements and over 400 lesser ones. Sixteen African-American soldiers received Medals of Honor. As it was in other units, the death toll from disease was very high in the USCT. Deaths from disease and battle totaled 37,000. The last regiment of the USCT was mustered out of Federal service in December 1867.
Important sources for information about African-American units in the Civil War are the War Department's The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies (Washington, DC: 1880-1901; reprinted Harrisburg, 1971 and 1985) and the Navy Department's The War of the Rebellion; A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies (Washington, DC: 1874-1922; reprinted Harrisburg, 1971 and 1985.) These multivolume works contain reports of operations and other official correspondence.
Creation of U.S. Colored Troops
The general order to establish the United States Colored Troops is dated May 22, 1863. The 2-page image is available here.
Document types
Compiled service records consist of a jacket-envelope for each soldier, labeled with his name, rank, unit, and card numbers. The compilation of service records of Union soldiers began in 1890 under the direction of Col. Fred C. Ainsworth, head of the Record and Pension Office of the Adjutant General's Office, Department of War. Information from muster rolls, regimental returns, descriptive books, and other records was copied verbatim onto cards. A separate card was prepared each time an individual name appeared on a document. These cards were numbered on the back, and these numbers were entered onto the outside jacket containing the cards. The carded information was verified by a separated operation of comparison; great care was taken to ensure that the cards were accurate.
A typical jacket contains card abstracts of entries found in original records relating to the soldier and original documents relating solely to that soldier. Examples of the latter include enlistment papers, substitute certificates, casualty sheets, death reports, prisoner-of-war memorandums, and correspondence. Unique to the records of the USCT are deeds of manumission, oaths of allegiance, proof of ownership, certificates of monetary award, and bills of sale. These items appear most frequently in units recruited in the border states of Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland. These states remained in the Union but were slave states. Jackets and cards include a section labeled "bookmark" which was reserved for cross-references to other records relating to the individual or his unit.
The service records are arranged by arm of service, thereunder numerically by regiment or independent battalion or company, and thereunder alphabetically by name of the soldier. Records for officers are interfiled alphabetically by name with the records of enlisted men. If an individual served in more than one unit, which was typical for USCT officers, there will be a separate service record for each unit in which he served.
The unjacketed miscellaneous cards were accumulated by the War Department with the expectation that they would be incorporated in individual compiled service records. However, the expectation was never fulfilled, because either insufficient or contradictory information made it impossible to associate the cards or papers with a particular soldier's service records.
Stories within the records
Chaplain Underdue
James Underdue, a chaplain with the 39th USCT Infantry, requested a transfer to the Colored Hospital at Fortress Monroe in Virginia on March 10, 1865, stating that he "lost my health in the last expedition against Wilmington, NC and thereby rendered unfit for service with my regiment in the field, and having no desire to leave the Army." A few months previously, on November 28, 1864, he requested "a leave of absence for twenty days that I may visit my home in Philadelphia, PA. I have a child there which is very ill and not expected to live."
Surgeon Powell
William C. Powell was a surgeon with the 127th USCT Infantry. He mustered in at Philadelphia on September 1, 1864, and mustered out at Brazos Santiago, Texas, on October 20, 1865. After the end of the war, he requested a five-day leave of absence, "Having lost (supposed to be stolen) a valuable horse on the march to Appomattox C.H." He believed the horse to be "in the possession of a Lieut Wilks in the 116th."
Private Wilburn
Isham Wilburn, a private in the 6th USCT Infantry, also known as the 4th Missouri, "died of disease" in a New Orleans hospital on April 28, 1865, of "wounds received in action" at Blakely, Alabama, April 9, 1865. The wound was a gunshot wound on his left arm. The Battle of Fort Blakely is widely considered to be the last major battle of the Civil War. In its battle detail for Fort Blakely, the National Park Service reports "The siege and capture of Fort Blakely was basically the last combined-force battle of the war. African-American forces played a major role in the successful Union assault."
The Inventory of his possessions at death indicates he left no effects. He did leave a widow and four children behind, as evidenced within the Civil War Widows' Pension file for his wife. The children are listed as Isam, Charles, Amy, and George. The evidence presented for their birth dates was copied "from the Wm. Smith Family Record (Bible)" by William Smith "who was my master."
There are many more stories like these among the USCT Compiled Military Service Records. Also, as with Private Wilburn, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with more of the soldiers' stories by looking at other titles as well. Enjoy your discoveries.

Among the records of the Adjutant General's Office in the National Archives are many of the original records that were abstracted or "carded" by the Record and Pension Office. These include the individual unit's muster rolls, returns and descriptive books. Other series in RG 94 that contain information relating to volunteer Union soldiers who served with the USCT include carded records relating to Union staff officers, carded medical records of volunteer Union soldiers, unbound and bound regimental records and "record of events" cards. The regimental records of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry (Colored) have been reproduced as Microfilm Publication M1659, Records of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Infantry Regiment (Colored), 1863-1865.
The "record of events" cards include information copied from the unit's muster rolls and returns. They show the stations of the field and staff and those of the various companies of the regiment at the time the muster roll or return was prepared and sometimes mention battles, skirmishes, or other activities in which the regiment participated. The cards have been reproduced as Microfilm Publication M594, Compiled Records Showing Service of Military Units in Volunteer Union Organizations.
Record Group 94 also includes a card index for the USCT, reproduced as Microfilm Publication M589, Index to Compiled Military Service Records of Volunteer Union Soldiers Who Served with U.S. Colored Troops, which may be used to locate the regiment of USCT personnel. An index card gives the name of the soldier and his rank, as well as the unit in which he served; sometimes there is a cross-reference to his service in other units or organizations. The National Archives is continually producing microfilm publications of volunteer Union compiled military service records. A complete listing of finished publications can be found in the National Archives Microfilm Resources for Research: A Comprehensive Catalog which is available online at http://www.nara.gov.
The Records of the Colored Troops Division, within RG 94, include division correspondence and records relating to recruiting, the appointment of officers, and the slave or free status of individuals; and a compilation of historical extracts and official papers concerning the military service of African Americans from the colonial period through the Civil War entitled The Negro in the Military Service of the United States 1639-1886. This compilation is reproduced as Microfilm Publication M858. The Records of the Bounty and Claims Division, also in RG 94, include correspondence of the division and records relating to bounties and claims paid to loyal owners of slaves by the Slave Claims Commissions of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
If an application for a pension was made, the pension application case file may be among the Records of the Veterans Administration (RG 15). Indexes to the pension applications have been reproduced as Microfilm Publication T288, General Index to Pension Files, 1861-1934, and T289, Organizational Index to Pension Files of Veterans Who Served Between 1861 and 1900.
If a soldier or officer was tried before a general court-martial or if an individual or his unit was the subject of a court of inquiry or military commission, transcripts of the proceedings may be among the Records of the Office of the Judge Advocate General (Army) (RG 153). The registers to the proceedings have been reproduced as Microfilm Publication M1105, Registers of the Records of the Proceedings of the U.S. Army General Courts-Martial, 1809-1890.
Other record groups having information pertaining to the USCT include Records of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands (RG 105); Records of the Provost Marshal General's Bureau (Civil War) (RG 110); Records of the Accounting Officers of the Department of the Treasury (RG 217); and Records of U.S. Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920 (RG 393).

Medical Definition of Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex): An antiestrogen (a drug that blocks the effects of estrogen) which competes with estrogen for binding sites in target tissues such as breast.
Tamoxifen has been widely publicized. It was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat breast cancer and help prevent it in women at high risk for the disease and, then in 2000, to treat women who have had surgery and radiation for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to lower the risk of invasive breast cancer arising from the intraductal carcinoma.

HOUSTON - A volunteer has taken on the mission of placing flags on the graves of veterans at Houston's National Cemetery.
As Bob Fussner walked the grounds of the cemetery, he said he does it with a purpose. The third-generation, now retired Marine, said he wants to place an American flag on each grave site for Memorial Day.
The resting place for nearly 70,000 veterans and spouses, the Houston National Cemetery is the only national cemetery in the state of Texas that doesn't honor the fallen with flags on the May holiday.
"It's something that we owe our veterans," said Fussner. "Whether they died in combat, were wounded, or just served. We make a promise to these veterans that we're not going to forget them."
To reach his goal, Fussner said he needs money, volunteers and supplies.
"We're looking for 70,000 flags," said Fussner. "We need storage containers for us to be able to put them in so we can store them for the next year. We need ice chests and water."
The group organizing the flag placement on the Sunday before Memorial Day said it needs about 2,000 volunteers. Click here to help.

YOUNG Riley Bowler thinks so much of his retiring head teacher he thought he would go straight to the top when inviting leaving party guests.
The Rockwell Green Primary School pupil wrote to the Queen to see if she could attend a leavers' service for Peter Williamson, who is leaving at the end of the summer term after 20 years at the helm.
Riley, nine, said: "I was walking the dog when I thought we should do something for Mr Williamson's retirement.
"Me and my sister thought it would be a good idea to write a letter to the Queen.
"A while later when my mum picked me up she said we'd been sent a letter. I couldn't wait to open it and when I did saw it was a reply."
Sadly, the Queen said she could not make the service on July 18 at All Saints Church, but Mr Williamson said he was delighted with the gesture.
He said: "Riley was bursting to tell me when he came into school and I couldn't believe it – it was a fantastic thing to do and he's a great kid."

THE £1.57million transformation of a former Methodist church into a new Darwen pub can be unveiled for the first time.
JD Wetherspoon is on course to open The Old Chapel in the former Railway Road Methodist Church next Thursday.
The firm has transformed the building, most recently used as a discount supermarket, and brought the forgotten upstairs floor back into use.
Lighting costing £150,000 has been installed which is remote-controlled to enable bulbs to be changed, and features mock candles like those which would have been used in the church, which closed in 1968. And a kitchen has been installed at a cost of £300,000. Manager Michael Johnson, formerly of The Commercial in Accrington, said he was looking forward to opening next week.
He said: "I have worked for 20 Wetherspoon pubs over 10 years with the company and this is certainly the most stunning building."
Mr Johnson, 31, originally from Liverpool, has been a Wetherspoon's pub manager for six years, having run the Robert Peel in Bury before moving to Accrington.
He said: "The thing that gets me is that every day you look on Facebook and there are pictures of the pub that people have taken and everyone is really excited.
"I cannot believe the fever it has generated."
The pub will have door security from Thursday to Sunday and will sell local beers from brewers in the town, including Hopstar.
Simon Huggill, a methodist preacher and Darwen town councillor, said despite the building's past, the Methodist community had not voiced any concerns about its new use.
He said: "Nobody has said anything to me and, if they did, they should have voiced their concerns at the planning stage.
"I think it will be fantastic. I am a tee-totaller but life does not stand still.
"It is a beautiful building and I am pleased it is being brought back to its former glory.
"I would certainly be happy to go in as a methodist and enjoy a soft drink."

• bilious •
Pronunciation: bil-yês • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Containing, like, or otherwise related to bile. 2. Suffering from gastric discomfort or disorder. 3. Grouchy, grumpy, peevish, ill-humored or otherwise ill disposed.
Notes: Today's word is interesting because its most recent meaning (3. above) has strayed so far from the original, "related to bile". The adverb has the unexciting form biliously and the noun is biliousness.
In Play: Suffering from biliousness seems to have abated noticeably in recent times. It was a major problem in the 19th century: "I see no point in asking that bilious old man for a donation toward the spring festival." He may be quite generous, but he is too grumpy to speak with. Let's keep this fine word alive for situations like this: "Susan Wynns came in a bit bilious today after losing her first case in court yesterday."
Word History: Today's Good Word came to us, as usual, via French from Latin bilis "bile, gall". Where the Latin word came from is something of a mystery. The semantic connection goes back to a day when moods and personalities were presumed to be caused by the 'humors', the fluids of the body. Too much bile was thought to make us grouchy. (Lest we leave him a bit bilious, let us share our gratitude with Jeremy Busch for suggesting today's Good Word.)

Re: BILIOUS
If this were the early 1900s we could take some Dr. Simmons' Patent Liver Regulator and avoid being bilious. You can buy one of his bottles on e-bay. But alas, the bottle is sans ethanol-rich nostrum.
