|
|
New Orleans, LA ? Today a Louisiana appeals court sided with the ACLU in ruling that a judge in Orleans Parish Juvenile Court had overstepped his bounds when he ordered a young man on probation to either cut his hair or go to jail. A.B., a juvenile, was in full compliance with all terms of his probation, including attending school and testing negative for drugs. At a probation hearing on August 29, 2009, he appeared, in the company of his mother, with his hair in dreadlocks. A.B's family is from Jamaica, and all wear dreadlocks. His father is deceased, and A.B. was growing his dreadlocks in anticipation of meeting his father's relatives in Jamaica on an upcoming visit. |

Leaving your job? Don't forget your 401(k) |
|
Question: I'm in my 30's and have a 401(k) from a previous job, 75% of which is invested in a variety of stock portfolios. Although my stock holdings have recovered a bit recently, I'm still down about ,000 from my peak balance. I'm planning to roll over this old 401(k) into either the 401(k) at my new job or into an IRA account, but I'm wondering whether I should do the rollover now while stocks are still cheap or wait until the market has recovered and then do it. What do think? --Todd Gerecke, Lynden, Washington
