An Archaeology of Resistance: Materiality and Time in an African Borderland studies the tactics of resistance deployed by a variety of indigenous communities in the borderland between Sudan and Ethiopia. The Horn of Africa is an early area of state formation and at the same time the home of many egalitarian, small scale societies, which have lived in the buffer zone between states for the last three thousand years. For this reason, resistance is not something added to their sociopolitical structures: it is an inherent part of those structuresaa mode of being. The main objective of the work is to understand the diverse forms of resistance that characterizes the borderland groups, with an emphasis on two essentially archaeological themes, materiality and time, by combining archaeological, political and social theory, ethnographic methods and historical data to examine different processes of resistance in the long term.As the highlanders were a constant problem to the Gumuz who lived side by side with them, the Gumuz have also been a problemaeven a menaceafor the highlanders living in the ... 2004) and therefore will not be described in detail here.

Maria Contreras-Sweet, are you listening? Now that President Barack Obama has nominated you to run the Small Business Administration, owners have a to-do list for you.
The SBA needs to get banks to lend more, help small companies win more federal contracts and work toward easing regulations, they say. And it needs to get the word out to companies about what it has to offer.
Last week, Obama nominated Contreras-Sweet to head the agency tasked with helping Americans start, build and grow businesses. She's worked with small companies as head of the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency and co-founder of Los Angeles-based ProAmerica bank, whose customers are small and medium-size companies.
Small business owners may be looking to the next SBA administrator for help making their companies stronger, but the role reaches into job creation and the health of the broader economy. More than 99 percent of the 27 million companies in the U.S. are small businesses. They employ about half the nation's workforce.
The new administrator will face ongoing challenges like the government's inability to meet its goals for small business contracts, banks that don't want to lend to small businesses and pressure to aid the slow economic recovery. The new SBA head must attempt to accomplish this with the smallest budget of any federal agency.
If confirmed by the Senate, Contreras-Sweet will succeed Karen Mills, who won widespread approval for increasing aid to small businesses during and after the recession. But Mills was also criticized by Republicans in the House for spending on lending programs that didn't appear to be creating jobs.
Mills says the SBA focused on the best ways to give small businesses more access to financing while also driving job creation. "(The programs) were tracked and measured for their impact, and have contributed to the position where the agency finds itself today, coming off record years in SBA-backed lending," she says.
Since Mills' departure in August, the SBA has been run by Acting Administrator Jeanne Hulit, the agency's former head of its Office of Capital Access. Hulit would not comment for this story, spokesman Terrence Sutherland said.
Contreras-Sweet was not giving interviews while her nomination was pending, said Bobby Whithorne, a spokesman for Obama.
Get Money: Contreras-Sweet is expected to use her banking background to persuade banks to lend more. Small businesses have struggled to get loans since the recession, and they're tired of rejection letters.
"Maybe she's going to have some innovative ideas on how to open up those capital lines," says Katie Vlietstra, of the National Association for the Self-Employed.
Under Mills, the SBA won pledges from major banks to increase small business lending. Banks including Wells Fargo & Co. and Bank of America Corp. say they're living up to them. But only about a third of owners surveyed by Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management say they were able to get a loan in the July-September quarter. The SBA isn't a lender. It backs loans. Its roughly $100 billion loan portfolio is less than half the $285 billion in small business loans tallied by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on Sept. 30.
The SBA also will need to help educate small businesses about how crowdfunding - the solicitation of investors over the Internet - works. The Securities and Exchange Commission is writing the rules, but the SBA is likely to be the one explaining them.
Make Uncle Sam a Better Customer: Contracts with the federal government are a huge source of revenue for small businesses. But small company owners and members of Congress complain that government agencies don't do enough to ensure more contracts go to them. Small business owners want the next administrator to make sure that big companies subcontract work to small ones.
Ease Regulations: Small businesses say burdensome government regulations are another issue Contreras-Sweet needs to tackle. Thousands of federal, state and local regulations are created each year. Most are specific to different industries. The cumulative impact of the regulations places a burden on small businesses that interferes with their ability to grow and create jobs, business groups say.

The TV pundits and talking heads always talk about "war against Christmas" (like here, or here) that is implicitly part of a larger war against Christianity. In my own experience, growing up in a family of Southern Baptists, I've heard pastors frequently lament the "narrow path" that Christians walk and its unpopularity at large. A new report, however, suggests that these lines of rhetoric have little substance.
"The Global Religious Landscape," a study released by the Pew Research Center, discusses every major religious group, including humans unaffiliated with any religion, in depth. What's most striking is the sheer immensity and reach of Christianity.
|Firstly, Christianity has the most adherents in the world. This fact in and of itself likely comes as no surprise, but the gap between Christianity and Islam may: Eight percent of the world population represents around 560 million people.
And the graph below shows how Christianity dominates religious life on at four of the six inhabited continents, while it has a large number of followers on the other two. All in all, 157 of the 232 countries and territories in this study have Christian majorities, and any given Christian has an 87% chance of living in a country that is majority Christian. That's unparalleled penetration.
While most religions have one or two regions where have demographic significance, Christianity spreads itself almost evenly over five different regions. People don't tend to associate Christianity with China, but the country has around 60 million adherents and gains more every single day. So, essentially, wherever the next growth boom happens (or continues to happen, in China's case), Christianity will probably already have a substantial follower base in the area.
So, the "War on Christianity" talk seems to have little to no merit, and if it does, Christianity is kicking ass and taking names. Check the attribution below if you'd like to see more graphs about Christianity or any one of eight major groups.

In the annals of the Toyota Motor Corporation, 2009 will be seen as a very bad year indeed, with piles of money lost and recalls over a problem as small as mistakenly mirrored floor mats that could force the gas pedal to get stuck. It was also a year when the world's biggest manufacturer for the first time in its history had to ask the Japanese government for $3 billion in bailout money. But all of the problems last year pale in comparison to Toyota's truly awful January 2010.
If you've spent the last 30 days in a post-holiday trauma ward, you could be forgiven for missing the daily inflow of bad news from Toyota's markets worldwide: it was forced to recall more than 2.3 million vehicles over faults in the braking system, with the number of problems multiplying and the number of recalled cars growing daily.
Car recalls are nothing new or unusual. From 1960 Cadillacs to 1996 Fords, and all the way to the latest recall of 646,000 Honda Jazz Sub-compacts, recalls are almost a normal part of business – as normal as bribed politicians. But the way companies handle the process of owning up to a problem and then fixing it, distinguish the clever ones from the not-so-clever ones.
Before the latest crises, Toyota itself shone in its only brush with infamy. Shortly after launching the Lexus LS 400 in 1989, two customers complained about some defective wiring and a brake light that was overheating. Toyota immediately recalled all 8,000 cars sold until then and conducted an all-out operation to fix the problem in each and every one of them. What could have been a major PR disaster ended up enhancing Lexus and Toyota brands. Ever since, customers worldwide consistently voted them the most reliable brands in the world.
One might be forgiven for assuming Toyota would have handled this latest storm with its customary efficiency and reliability. While its executives did wake up to the size and intensity of the problem a little late, the latest wave turned into tsunamis after the previously unknown problems reached the global media.
In an article entitled, "Toyota has pattern of slow response on safety issues", The New York Times listed some of them:
What is particularly striking is that most of the problems listed were of a serious nature and could have ended in many more deaths. Here in South Africa the news about the faulty steering column on the Auris model was revealed on 702's A Word on Cars programme. The catch was, Toyota's engineers already knew about the problem, but had done nothing to fix it.
Currently, the US Congress is itching for a highly publicised fight with Toyota execs, while authorities around the world are formulating their own responses. Some of its competitors in the US are revelling in their schadenfreude moment, with Ford and Chrysler offering Toyota owners financial incentives to switch brands. Perhaps it is safe to say that the next couple of months will be nightmarish in every possible way for the Japanese über-corporation.
But will the Toyota brand recover from this ordeal? It probably will, but it will take time and effort. It is also doubtful Toyota will be seen as the safest bet available anytime soon. But still, the US Congress inquiry and the worldwide outrage will soon be replaced by another Tiger Woods-type affair or Sarah Palin's grandchild and the sticky brakes' story will be relegated to second or third screen.
But knowing that Toyota knew all along that their cars were not safe will be difficult to forget.

Information & Communication Technology Summit
Priorities for the IT Summit need to be defined. Where does IT fit in? Discussion as to whether IT stands apart as a discipline on its own or it is integrated within other disciplines. Purpose of the Summit was addressed and would likely include 2 or 3 different events/speakers for attendees to choose from. CAITE, and the Community Colleges to be involved as well as student participation/ presentations perhaps at the end of the Summit. Possible speaker to be Nolan Bushnell.
Majority felt that Friday, March 26, 2010 would be the best choice of days for the summit as opposed to Thursday, March 25th. Time discussed was 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. in the Campus Center Auditorium. Planning Committee to be formed. Jerry Schoen volunteered to take part.
ICT Certificate Proposals
Proposals to serve as models for UMASS and other campuses. Purpose of certificates is to provide students with the essential skills that they will need in the workforce. Need in all disciplines to have more introductory technology courses. Certificates being submitted for consideration are Digital Humanities with two tracks being Technology in Society and Media Graphics, Sustainability previously known as Green Technology, Cyber Security, and Bioinformatics. All certificates to carry the ITC designation, i.e. ITC/Sustainability.
Why get an "ITC Certificate" instead of the "Minor?" Asked and clarification needed. There is no thread connecting the IT courses while the certificate expands field of study and is more specialized than the IT minor.
Majority felt that the Digital Media Certificate would be the easiest to pull off as the courses are available already. Sustainability is of interest as well and has a broader base among colleges. Bioinformatics is less likely since it would require the addition of more courses and the faculty or staff to teach them.

Bosses at a Sheffield-based firm which designs unique data management that delivers feedback on how someone is driving are set for a royal appointment after scooping a coveted award.
The Floow took home the Prince Michael International Road Safety Award in recognition of its telematics data management platform.
Company bosses are now set to pick up the award from Prince Michael of Kent, patron of the commission for Global Road Safety, at a formal ceremony on December 8.
Aldo Monteforte, founder and chief executive officer at The Floow, said: "We are truly honoured to be receiving the award in recognition of the contribution that our organisation has made to increasing awareness of driver behaviour, and how small changes to the way in which young people drive can make significant improvements to their safety on the roads."
The company takes GPS and accelerometer data from telematics devices such as 'black boxes' or from a Smartphone in customers' cars.
These devices enable The Floow to monitor driving behaviours including smooth driving, acceleration, braking, and speed in comparison to other road users on the same stretch of road.
The Floow analyses this data to deliver bespoke online and app-based feedback to develop the driver's insight on areas for improving safety after every journey.
Tony Spalding, chairman of RoadSafe, the organisation behind the PMIRSA, recently visited The Floow's Sheffield headquarters to meet with the 60-strong team of scientists, engineers, designers and support staff. He said the company's technology has been "crucial" in changing driver behaviour for the better and making our roads safer.

Vertu, an undoubted leader in the luxury and handcrafted mobile phones market, unveils its latest mobile handsets, the Vertu Ascent Summer Season Special Editions aimed at (rather well off) ladies.
Wrapped in diamond perforated leather - resistant to almost everything from lipstick to suntan lotion - the Summer Season Special Edition comes in two variants: the Vertu Ascent Strawberry Edition in deep pink and Vertu Ascent Cream Edition in cool cream. Both have distinctive, matching leather pouches.
As with all Vertu phones, each one uses only the finest leather and precious materials and is individually hand-assembled, in England, by expert craftsmen. Featuring a diamond patterned, brushed stainless-steel back plate that mirrors the leather design, and the unique Vertu Ascent bezel, these two handsets exemplify both style and sophistication (as well as a surfeit of cash that could stretch to purchase half a small car).
"Our Ascent special editions have become very popular with both our female and male customers alike – who love to buy for themselves, or for wives or girlfriends", says Mercedes Gonzalez Gorbena, product marketing director at Vertu. "Our customers love to attend the most fashionable events the Season has to offer and our new Ascent summer season colours are the perfect accessory - whether you're at the races, the Polo or just relaxing in the Mediterranean", she added.
To help you better plan your social engagements this summer, all Vertu models come with a dedicated "Concierge key" at the side of the phone. The Vertu Concierge maintains exclusive partnerships with the most popular spas, restaurants and bars around the world, accessible to you 24-hours a day. Sigh, it's a different world…
The Ascent Summer retails at £3500 and available in stores now.

So, with the news that Fabrice Muamba has retired following his on-field heart attack last season, I thought I'd post this video.
Its of Anthony Van Loo, who also has a similar heart condition to Fabrice Muamba, including the little defribrilator implant in his chest.
Muambe chose to retire due to his heart concerns, but Anthony Van Loo chose to play on.
This video is what happens when the defribrilator implant kicks in.
Its a bit scary, but interesting all the same. Its not in English either but it has subtitles.

Women Get Better At Forming Networks To Help Their Climb
Successful female executives used to be seen as loners who shunned helping other women and dutifully stuck to entrenched rules to succeed.
No one would make that charge today. A women's network has emerged in the corporate world that is working to counter the old boy's club. Its members, who include a fresh crop of female executives as well as corporate veterans, are helping one another advance and succeed -- and on their own terms.
The "queen bee syndrome" -- the belief that ambitious women strive for the most powerful position in the workplace while excluding all rivals -- is outdated, executives say. Equally outdated is the notion that women can't have both powerful jobs and fulfilling personal lives.
"Don't believe for a minute that women don't help other women," said Angela Braly, 46 years old, who became president and CEO of WellPoint, the nation's largest health insurer, earlier this year. At director and company meetings, she is never the sole woman in the room, she said. One-third of the company's directors, 50% of its managers and 70% of its employees are female. She added that many encouraged her when she got the top job and were anxious for her to show strength.
Join a Discussion
What do you think are some of the most difficult challenges facing women in the workplace today? Has the situation improved over the past decade? Join a discussion about female executives.
- Question of the Day: Would you prefer to work for a man or a woman?
She and five other female executives who participated in a recent Wall Street Journal panel discussion (see transcript excerpts in today's Women to Watch section), agreed that more women are headed for C-level offices. They credit the track record of advancing women, women's growing confidence in their abilities and the knowledge that if they don't fit in one business culture or job, they can move someplace else.
Because the demand across industries for female talent is strong, and because of the experience women have gained climbing the ranks, they are beginning to set their own rules. They seek workstyles that make it possible for them to balance careers and families.
Melanie Healey, president, Global Health and Feminine Care at Procter & Gamble, recalled how after the birth of her first child she worked in Mexico for an executive "who started work at 6 or 7 in the morning and went on until 10 or 11 at night." She finally got up her courage to meet with him, asking him what he wanted her to accomplish over the following six months and then assuring him she'd do it all -- but on her own schedule. "I said I'd start at 8 and leave at 6, and I made him promise that if he started a meeting after 5 in the evening, he'd end it by 6 and pick up again in the morning," she recalled.
The upshot: "It worked -- and my organization loved it," said Ms. Healey. After her boss became CEO of Evian in France, he tried to recruit her to work for him again.
We "need to give permission to others to be different from us -- and believe they can succeed," said Michele Coleman Mayes, senior vice president and chief legal officer of Allstate. But that doesn't mean women should stop listening to criticism, she says. She once told a male boss she wanted to be a general counsel. When he told her she didn't have the right skills, she was crushed. Instead of arguing with him, however, she mulled over his criticism and admitted he was right. A few months later, her boss recruited her to follow him to Colgate-Palmolive, where he promised to help her learn what she needed to become general counsel.
How much should successful female executives do to help other women? Is mentoring enough or should they also actively recruit more women to boardrooms and executive suites?
Mary Sammons, chairman, president and CEO of Rite Aid, notes that for years men have used informal networks to help one another get jobs and board seats. So, after turning around Rite Aid and becoming its top leader, she intentionally recruited a woman to the board. She also has "come to the conclusion that it's good to get more women together," and involved on work teams and at company meetings. That helps ensure "that they're really heard when they bring things up," she said.
To do that, women need to seek mentors -- something they often don't do enough. "One of the mistakes I made earlier in my career was not building those relationships" with the people who say when positions are being filled, 'Well, what about her for that,'" said Billie Williamson, director of flexibility and gender equity at Ernst & Young LLP.
But mentoring is a two-way street, said Sheryl Sandberg, vice president, global online sales and operations at Google. She once took a talented female employee, who was pregnant, to lunch to encourage her to keep advancing. "I told her how much we didn't want to lose her, how I wanted everything to work out for her -- and I thought I was being a great mentor," Ms. Sandberg recalled.
Instead of thanking her, the employee told her to stop sending her emails at 11:30 p.m.
"She was saying, 'If you're trying to set the right example, stop doing that or at least write that you don't expect an answer by 6 a.m.,'" said Ms. Sandberg.
She complied.

Judge Shoots Down Cadwalader's NWA Bonus Request
Bankruptcy Court Judge Allan Gropper contended that Cadwalader's average rates of $500 an hour had already provided the firm with adequate compensation. Attorneys should only receive fee enhancements if their work had obtained an unexpected positive result.
Cadwalader filed a fee application in early August with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of...

On some obscure TV show, we learned that space was the final frontier. However, with the Kepler space observatory finding dozens of awesome new planets every month, we're starting to wonder if that's true. After all, 95 percent of the ocean is still unexplored by humans.
Which got us to thinking: Wouldn't it be ironic if the first proof of extraterrestrial life came from the ocean instead of the skies? With that in mind, we found eight strange things in the ocean that we think might indicate the work of alien hands (or tentacles):
The Baltic Sea Disc
The UFO world has been abuzz with the reports that a champagne-salvaging team from Sweden discovered something very unusual on the floor of the Baltic Sea. To drive theorists into a frenzy, it won't be possible to reach the object until around May, when the fierce currents die down. The strange, round object prompted a member of the research team to state, "I have never seen anything like this."
The mysterious object is 60 feet long and circular. Tracks lead up to the object from far away, which we must admit is the least mysterious part of this (even ocean rocks have "tracks"). Until a crew can get down there, the craft will remain under 10 stories' worth of salt water.
cap: It turns out, the secret to intergalactic travel is giant, rectangular stones
Ancient Underwater City
At the turn of the millennium, oceanographers were doing what they thought was a routine assessment of India's Gulf of Cambay coast. To the surprise of the team and pretty much everyone else in the entire world, they found evidence of a miles-long city stretching out into the water. Although the age of the underwater ruins is a hotly debated topic, some estimates have put it at about 9,500 years old. That's thousands of years before the area was thought to contain people, and would make this among the oldest cities in the world.
Yonaguni rock formation off of Japan
On the ocean floor off the southern coast of Japan sits a huge formation made from 20,000,000-year-old stones. Though thought to be naturally formed, the patterns created are stunning.
So what is all this for? Our guess is that aliens visited Japan, forcing them to build a resort spa. Hoping to deter the aliens, the crafty Japanese built the worst-looking resort ever, causing the aliens to abandon our planet in disgust.
Bimini Road
Off of North Bimini Island in the Bahamas lie three peculiar straight stretches of "road." Each is composed of hundreds of large rectangular blocks. The main structure stretches linearly for a great distance before disappearing into the sea.
In 2006, Syfy aired a program called Quest for Atlantis: Startling New Secrets. For the show, a team investigated the area around and below Bimini Road. Beneath the road, the team claims to have found a second structure of similarly arranged rectangular stones. Unfortunately, no followup has been planned, perhaps because there was no evidence of ghosts.
The Mayan Underworld
According to the Mayans' system of belief, death is as fraught with doom as their predictions of life seem to be. In order to get to the afterlife, dead souls had to follow a hound through a watery maze full of peril.
In 2008, archaeologists stumbled upon what may have been the very source of these beliefs. On the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, surveyors found a mammoth system of interlocking caves going both above and under water. Stone temples and pyramids can be found throughout the labyrinth of 14 caves.
Researchers are still discovering new features to the cave system. One of the spookiest is a 300-foot road leading into the water. We can only imagine at the very end of these roads is a huge pile of Mayan human and canine skeletons. If we're lucky, that is. If we're unlucky, then at the end of these caves is a portal to hell.
Lake Michigan Stonehenge
While hired to scan Lake Michigan by sonar for old boat wrecks, professors from Northwestern Michigan College discovered a peculiar arrangement of stones. Not too far beneath the frigid waters of a Lake Michigan bay sits a unique pattern of stones that brings to mind the classic UFO landing site Stonehenge.
To make things even more mysterious, the researchers claim that one of the stones contains a picture of a mastodon. While we'll be the first to admit that this seems far-fetched, the state of Michigan is already home to many ancient glyphs and stone circles. As for the origins of the underwater Stonehenge, we have a pretty airtight theory. See, long ago aliens landed their spaceships in Lake Michigan. This angered early man, so he attacked the alien saucers by throwing giant stones into the lake.
Mid-Atlantic Ridge Weirdness
The ocean is home to millions of species, so it's not extraordinarily surprising when we're poking around in it and we discover a new one. Still, this yet-unidentified sea creature makes us wonder if aliens ever checked into a room at Innsmouth.
What makes this organism extra peculiar is that, nearby, researchers discovered a weird stretch of evenly spaced holes.
No further expeditions have been planned to the area, probably because scientists were too creeped out.
Milky Sea
For centuries, sailors of the Indian Ocean told legends about how huge parts of the sea would sometimes glow bright blue at night. This phenomenon went undocumented because people just assumed it was the product of crazy seamen. However, the last century has seen hundreds of reports of giant swaths of the Indian Ocean glowing like a rave all night long.
With the advent of space satellite technology, we were finally able to take an actual look at the phenomenon, to figure out which parts of the legend were based on truth. It turns out that pretty much all of the legend is based on reality. A large cluster of bacteria bioluminescent-ing all over the place is the source of this amazing wonder.
While we haven't yet found the "smoking gun" of a crashed alien saucer on Earth, it would most likely be underwater, since there's just so much of that wet stuff to crash into on this planet. No matter what, we need to keep scanning the seas. There's all sorts stuff that could be found that would blow our minds: aliens, mermaids, a rusting hulk of the Statue of Liberty, etc.

Long-term municipal bonds have demonstrated unusual resilience against the market's walloping of Treasury bonds in the last six weeks.
Normally, one would expect a spike in Treasury rates to force some investors out of the municipal bond market. If for no other reason, municipals lose luster if risk-free federal government debt yields much more by comparison.
Some analysts and strategists, though, say the same imbalances that helped drive the rally in municipals last year are helping shelter the industry from a tough stretch for Treasuries this year.
Since the beginning of last month, the bond market has pummeled Treasuries. The yield on the 30-year Treasury has lofted from 4.21% at the end of November to 4.68% at the end of last week.
Long-term munis have not only endured this selling — they have rallied.
According to the Municipal Market Data scale, the 30-year triple-A muni yield has shed 15 basis points in that time period.
The 30-year muni-Treasury ratio — which describes the 30-year triple-A muni yield as a percentage of the 30-year Treasury yield — has contracted to 88% from more than 100% at the end of November.
Matt Fabian, managing director of Municipal Market Advisors, wrote in a report this week that municipal yields may set new all-time lows versus Treasuries this year as the "dearth of high-grade supply" meets "excessive demand."
The decoupling of Treasuries and municipals is old news.
It used to be that Treasury rates and municipal rates moved in the same direction by similar magnitudes most of the time.
The correlation between the two yields was so dependable that for years the muni-Treasury ratio was a standard benchmark in municipal valuation.
Many traders and dealers used Treasury derivatives to hedge unsold municipal inventory, because they believed any change in the municipal rate would be accompanied by a similar change in the Treasury rate.
A consistent muni-Treasury ratio expressed the idea that, with a few exceptions, municipals and Treasuries responded to the same factors: interest rates, inflation, and economic growth.
The credit crisis changed that.
When panic gripped the markets, investors had no tolerance for the illiquidity and credit risk that afflict municipals. The whole world bought Treasuries and sold municipals, and the 30-year muni-Treasury ratio skyrocketed to a once-unfathomable 208.2%.
With markets settled down, municipals and Treasuries remain decoupled.
Treasuries have been battered lately as the predominant theme in the market shifts, Janney Montgomery Scott head of fixed income Guy LeBas wrote in a report this month.
For much of last year, investors were primarily concerned with cocooning their money and were not so attentive to yields, he said. Investors bought risk-free Treasuries at historically low yields just because they were risk-free. In December 2008, a three-month Treasury bill even traded at a negative yield.
As the year wore on and the economic outlook improved, LeBas said, the focus began shifting to achieving better returns on investments.
With investors starting to feel out when the Federal Reserve plans to increase its target for interest rates, he said the market for Treasuries has become much more challenged. The sale last year of $1.5 trillion in new federal debt does not help either, according to LeBas.
Meanwhile, municipals tell a different story. The market is characterized by rampant demand and too little supply to sate it, some strategists say. That is buoying municipals even as Treasury yields spiral higher.
"The long-term muni market has resisted the updraft in yields on Treasuries," George Friedlander, municipal strategist at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, wrote in a report last week. "It reflects a key reality in the muni market: demand has dominated supply for the past year, and we see no reasons for that pattern to reverse any time soon."
In his "Municipally Speaking" column, Thomson Reuters analyst Michael Bouscaren said many investors are ignoring the selling pressure in the Treasury market and "looking more deeply into the technicals" in municipals.
Technical factors have continued funneling cash into the municipal market regardless of the fundamentals.
One of the primary technical factors is the siphoning of supply from the tax-exempt market by the Build America Bonds program. Enacted through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February, the BAB program created a taxable form of municipal debt.
The program has been a smash. Municipalities issued more than $84.4 billion in taxable debt in 2009, including $64.121 billion of BABs, easily a record. For all the talk of the second-heaviest municipal supply in history last year, sales of tax-exempt paper actually decreased 5.8%.
For the traditional tax-paying buyer of municipal bonds who is seeking a tax-exempt investment, the market is suffering from a shortage.
As long as the BAB program, with its 35% federal interest cost subsidy, remains available state and local governments' preference for floating debt in that market is likely to continue pulling supply away from the tax-exempt market. The BAB program is scheduled to sunset Dec. 31, 2010. The strategists at Loop Capital Markets have predicted BABs issuance this year could reach $130 billion.
Considering most BABs come to market with maturities of 12 years or longer, Friedlander said the program has blown a "hole" into long-term municipal supply.
"Long-term new issuance has virtually disappeared from the tax-exempt sector," he said, referring to general-purpose government credit.
This scarcity has been met with overwhelming demand, which Friedlander mainly attributed to paltry returns on short-term safe havens.
At the end of the third quarter, households held $7.74 trillion in safe havens such as bank deposits and money market funds, according to the Fed. Throw in short-term Treasuries, and Friedlander reckons retail investors are sitting on nearly $8 trillion in cash.Most of this cash is generating almost no return.
The one-year Treasury yields 0.34%. Tax-free money market funds yield 0.04% on average, according to iMoneyNet.
Friedlander said many investors have begun to find that unacceptable and have moved their money into municipals.
Investors spirited more than $90 billion from tax-free money funds and entrusted $78.6 billion to municipal bond mutual funds last year, according to data from the Investment Company Institute and Lipper FMI.
"Even a continued trickle out of this vast pool of low-yield holdings can provide powerful demand for munis," Friedlander said.
Fabian wrote this week that munic yields may set new all-time lows versus Treasuries this year as the "dearth of high-grade supply" meets "excessive demand."

Lesson 1 (from Chapters 1-3)
Women as property. This lesson will look into this idea and how Chopin writes about it in her story.
1.Class discussion: How does Leonce Pontellier view his wife? Is she, in fact, another piece of property? Was this a prevailing view of women in the late 19th century? Given the disparity in rank between women and men at the time, was this a fair way to look at women? Is this view of women the main reason why Edna feels so unhappy in her marriage? Do you think that if Leonce treated her more like a human being, as a partner, she would not so easily fall for Robert Lebrun's charms?
2. Homework: Have students write a short essay, about one page, from the point of view of Edna after Leonce tells her what folly it is to be swimming at such an hour and that...

The Toronto Blue Jays haven't officially chosen their leadoff hitter, but centre fielder Kevin Pillar expects to land the role.
Ben Revere was in that spot at the end of 2015, but the team dealt the speedster to the Washington Nationals in January for reliever Drew Storen, leaving a vacancy atop of the order.
Pillar has found some success hitting there during spring training.
"Sometimes not being told is the best [but] being rolled out there everyday in that spot is kind of an indication," Pillar told Dean Blundell & Co. on Sportsnet 590 The Fan Wednesday. "We're smart individuals, we're adults, we kind of read between the lines. Nothing has been told to me, but I understand what they're doing and where I'll be."
Pillar is coming off a breakout campaign with a slash line of .278/.314/.399 and .713 OPS. He was also named Wilson's 2015 Defensive Player of the Year for centre field, which came as no surprise considering the 27-year-old was a human highlight reel, leading all outfielders in putouts with 440.
Pillar, who spent most of last season hitting seventh and eighth, ranked second on the Blue Jays in hits with 163 — only A.L. MVP Josh Donaldson had more. He doesn't think hitting early in the order will impact the way he approaches games.
"As far as mindset, it's really no different for me," he explained. "The thing I really like about it is, it's not the first at-bat but the second at-bat where you're getting up sometimes in the second or third inning. That's normally where I was getting my first at-bat last year. Being able to get up there to start the game and just trying to set the tone for your team."
Pillar walked just 28 times in 586 at bats last year, prompting some to question his viability as a leadoff hitter.
"I don't talk about walks," Pillar said. "I talk about hits and getting on base and scoring runs … The guys who walk the most are the guys who hit the most home runs because pitchers are scared of them. That's how you walk, so if my home run total goes up to 30 or 40, I'll probably start walking more too."
In addition to the "who will hit leadoff?" storyline, another question for the 2016 Blue Jays is how they'll use Aaron Sanchez. The right-hander is looking to transition from a relief role into a starter.
Pillar gave his two cents on the situation: "I like what he's done so far as a starter. I know he's put in a ton of work this offseason and that's been his mindset ever since he's been drafted to be a starter. Fortunately for us he's an awesome guy and is willing to do either role, but if he had his choice it would definitely to be starting. I think he's done everything in his power to show the organization and the coaching staff he's worthy of that."

Reading and Dusselfdorf have had close links since 1947, just after the end of the Second World War and it is probably the oldest relationship between British and German cities.
There is a really exiting programme of events happening at this year's Festival. Organised by the Reading Düsseldorf Association, in partnership with Reading Fringe Festival, the milestone anniversary performances will include:
Aberrations - Indie Rock
Canadian German
Aberrations are an exceptionally exciting live rock band and they encapsulate 'International
Düsseldorf' today. Two of the musicians are from Canada, Christ Subacco is head of music at the International school Dusseldorf and Ian LeBlanc is an IT specialist at a telecommunications company. Both came to Düsseldorf originally for just a short time, but loved it so much, they made the city their home and have also married and made homes to stay.
Aberrations have offered to give a workshop on electric guitar and song writing for young people aged 13-18 which will take place in cooperation with the Reading School of Rock!
Arturo Castro - Classical Guitarist
Puerto Rican, Mexican, Cuba
Awarded as the best guitarist in Puerto Rico, Arturo Castro came to Düsseldorf to study with Professor Joaquin Clerch. He has said it was the only place for him to come to. Most find it extraordinary that the Spanish-speaking students come to Düsseldorf to learn guitar, but such is the reputation of Professor Clerch, who can now proudly claim to have some of the best guitarists in the world of classical music as former students. Arturo is an enchanting performer, his Latin background charms his audience yet at the same time, his knowledge of German music impresses to the core.
Ben J. Riepe - Contemporary Dance
German, Swiss, Indian
The Ben J Riepe Kompanie have offered to create a piece for Reading around the friendship. They will perform at the legendary Olympic Ballroom, where amounts others the Rolling Stones have played. The couple who met at the Olympics in the 1950's still live in Reading. We are hoping they can be incorporated into the piece as well as some dancers from Reading. We also have the possibility of Ben J Riepe hosting a 'Performance Brunch' for the press and OB Thomas Geisel and members of the City of Reading.
Winners of the Düsseldorf Newcomers Award Performing Arts 2011
Theaterfestivals FAVORITEN 2016 Dortmund
Creeps - Creeps - Electronica
German, Ukrainian
Our youngest band, students from the HHU and Kunstakademie Nominated for the City Beats Prize after only having played live ONCE! Winner was awarded in December 2016 at Haus der Jugend.
Emil Schult - Multi-Media Artist
The 'Eyes of Kraftwerk', student of Josef Beuys and Gerhard Richter, Emil Schult has agreed to come to Reading Fringe Festival as he firmly believes that a greater exchange is necessary for all nationalities in order to have a hope of achieving peace in our world.
The work of the students is also very important to Emil and he would like 2 students to accompany him to Reading where he will give a multi-media show on the theme of electronic music, both in the visual and acoustic form.
Emil will give a short introduction to the Krypta he created in the Robert Schumann Conservatory, a place that fascinated all visitors including Kraftwerk fans, who would visit Düsseldorf just for this reason and should certainly be known by many more!
He will then perform behind a screen, with the student creating a multi-media show of visuals and sound.
Emil is currently working on opening a new gallery for the work of the Kustakademie students' work very soon and will most likely be presenting this as well!
Henry Storch - Unique Record Label Founder and DJ
Few know the Düsseldorf music scene as well as Henry Storch. Henry's record label 'Unique', founded in 1988, is one of Europe's oldest independent record labels.
Ivory Clay, winners of this years Düsseldorf Newcomers Music Award are just about to release their first album on Unique.
A much respected DJ specialising in retro soul and dance music with an international following, especially in UK. Henry is regularly booked for some of the best clubs in Europe.
He will host the Reading-Düsseldorf Mixer Party on the Friday night of the festival.
The free Golzheim Festival, also one of Henry's many community projects, is the same weekend of the Reading Fringe. He will return to Düsseldorf on Saturday morning with artists from Reading whom he will invite to perform at Golzheim.
Henry will be more than happy to host a questions and answers session on the Düsseldorf music scene and the workings of an independent record label.
Love Machine - Psychedelic Rock
Love machine is made up of Düsseldorf musicians who spent their youths hanging-out in the Schlachthof creating sounds that they work today into their music.
There is a strong Psychedelic music scene in Reading and Love Machine will be well received including a colourful light show as part of their performance!
Professor Joaquin Clerch - Classical Guitarist
Professor Joaquin Clerch of the Robert Schumann Music Conservatory attracts students from all over the world, particularly the Spanish-speaking countries, to come to Düsseldorf to study guitar with him, such is his reputation as being, quite simply, one of the best in the world. His students are winning all the major prizes in the world of classical guitar.
The Echo prize-winning musician has agreed to play the Reading Fringe Festival for Düsseldorf and will be sharing his story and demonstrates the important history of classical music in Düssledorf.
Arturo Castro, one of Joaquin's graduates will also play another concert to complete this story in Reading. In his homeland of Cuba, Joaquin is recognised as one of the greatest musicians in the land. In 2015 Joaquin played the Tonhalle with the Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional de Cuba. A historical concert as it is rare that the orchestra has the opportunity to travel.
Stabil Elite - Electronica
No celebration of the city of Düsseldorf can go ahead without the inclusion of Krautrockers Stabile Elite. From the home of electronic music, these Düsseldorf boys continue the tradition but very much in their own way, creating a worldwide following playing gigs from China to Israel to the mighty South by Southwest Festival, Texas.
Winners of the Düsseldorf Music Newcomers Award 2011 and popNRW-Preis 2012
Possibly Vom Ritchie
Drummer of the Toten Hosen also plays with independent bands for his Düsseldorf record label 'Drumming Monkey'. As a musician from the UK himself, he still plays in the UK on a regular basis. If his Toten Hosen schedule allows, he will be playing at the Reading Fringe and is keen to support this important friendship in any way he can. As Vom has been in Düsseldorf for many years, he is a great bridge for between the UK and Germany.
If he attends he will happily chat to the audience after the gig about life on the road with the Toten Hosen.
Linda Hergarten - Soprano
Linda Hergarten, also a graduate of the Robert Schumann Music Conservatory, is a young classically trained artist of the universal appeal. She has an ease on stage with her beautiful and astounding voice. Her repertoire of opera to chanson to pop songs is unbeatable.

THE NATURE of racism in America has changed in the last 20 years. Unfortunately, many African Americans have been slow to adapt.
In the 1950s and '60s, blacks took on and accomplished the task of breaking through the wall of overt racism built by American society to obstruct black progress. Since then, we have given too much attention to continuing the attack on the wall, and not enough to walking through the hole and taking advantage of the opportunity on the other side.
It was black defiance that broke through the wall. But defiance will not lead the black American drive for success in the 1990s. A new attitude will be needed.

In one wild hour on Thursday, central banks in Europe and China slashed interest rates, hoping to encourage businesses and consumers to borrow — and spend — more. At the same time, the Bank of England renewed an economic stimulus program it had suspended just two months ago. And here in the U.S., it was only two weeks ago that the Federal Reserve announced that it would extend a similar effort. Central bankers insist the moves weren't coordinated. Still, is this flurry of activity a sign that the world's financial leaders are starting to panic in the face of a scary global slowdown? Here, a brief guide:
What exactly did the central banks do?
The European Central Bank and its counterpart in China cut their benchmark lending rates, hoping to get businesses and consumers to spend more by making it cheaper for them to borrow money. The ECB cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point, to 0.75 percent. That's the lowest rate in its 14-year history. But because European rates are already so low, economists don't expect additional reductions to make much of a difference. China might have more influence. Its rates are relatively high, at 6 percent, so analysts think its 0.31 percentage point cut might help counter a sharp economic slowdown.
How about the Bank of England?
The British central bank can't push interest rates much lower than the current 0.5 percent, so it announced that it would buy up $78 billion worth of government bonds (it already holds $508 billion worth), essentially printing money to pay for it. This move, known as quantitative easing, increases the money supply, giving banks more to lend. Though such monetary policies can inadvertently spark inflation, this measure is meant to encourage more buying, selling, and investing, which is why America's Federal Reserve has been doing similiar things.
Will it work?
That's the big question. Stock markets aren't persuaded, as global stocks eased back Thursday after an initial burst of enthusiasm. And opinions range from somewhat optimistic — "This is helpful at the margins," says one British economist — to downright dismissive — "There's virtually zero chance of that succeeding," Bill Smead, CEO of Smead Capital Management, tells CNBC Asia. The task ahead is huge: Europe is mired in a double-dip recession, and its frightening debt crisis is dragging down economies around the world; the U.S. recovery is withering; and long-booming China, which has propped up the global economy for years, is experiencing a sharp slowdown.
Why are all of these central banks acting now?
This is a sign that central bankers are on the job, Charles Dallara of the Institute of International Finance tells CNBC Asia. "The global environment is weakening" and the central bankers are taking positive steps to ease the pain, although they can't "alter fundamentally" the coming storm. The ECB knew it had to do something to avert an immediate meltdown, says Paul Krugman at The New York Times, but the fact that it did the "minimal amount" instead of making it clear a solution is coming only shows it isn't recognizing the gravity of the situation. This is the second time in a month the central planners in Beijing have offered rate relief, says Matt Nesto at Yahoo Finance. That's really, really rare. These extraordinary measures aren't soothing — they're a sign the people sitting in the world's financial control rooms have gone into "panic mode."

Movie Review: Taken, Once a Spook, Always a Spook!Posted: Updated:
Who would have ever thought that Liam Neeson would reinvent himself into an action hero at his age?! Not I but I defy anyone to not buy into that concept after seeing Neeson kick some major butt in "Taken"!
As a retired secret intelligence operative, Neeson wants nothing more than to re-connect with the teenage daughter he has neglected during his career heyday. But instead of spending some quality time with her father, the 17 year old embarks on a cross European tour following U2. Dad, all too familiar with the dangers of traveling abroad is horrified but unable to fight his stubborn daughter and clueless mom (Famke Janssen). So he does the only thing he can: give his daughter strict instructions about checking in and a phone with international access. And faster than you can say, "Oh, Dad!" daughter and friend find themselves 'Taken"!
Soon Neeson is calling upon every 'skill' in his set as a ' preventer' to prevent the very worst from happening to his abducted daughter. And while you might complain that the script harkens back to a time when villains and heroes were one dimensional characters cloaked in either black or white with no shades of grey in between, it's very effective in terms of rousing the audience to cheer on the hero.
And cheer they did in the showing I went to! Neeson's character is unrelenting in his search and destroy mission. This impressive actor has no trouble convincing one and all that he could even double o seven to rescue his daughter if necessary!
Speaking of 007, my biggest complaint about the spy's latest caper was that "Quantum of Solace" was nothing more than one big chase sequence. It's funny because almost the same thing could be said about 'Taken'. But this tight, fast paced 90 minute movie was ultimately much more satisfying, even without the sexy Daniel Craig!
"Taken" snatches 4 Red Vines for being so 'cheer-full'
LADIES ROOM LOWDOWN: I can't remember the last time I went to a movie where the audience was so vocal! The woman next to me pretty much talked back to the screen the whole time but she was by far not the only one to do so! Frequent audience outbursts peppered the movie. At one point I applauded when a particular bad guy got his come-uppins and a man from the back of the theater shouted 'Amen!' Yeah. We were all that into it.and loving it!

Facing international pressures over his country's disputed nuclear program, Iran's envoy to the United Nations says that Israel's nuclear ambitions are endangering Middle East stability.
Iran's state-run news agency IRNA reports that Mohammad Khaza'ie told the U.N. Disarmament Commission in New York Wednesday that Israel's non-membership in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty was adding uncertainty in the region.
He also said Iran had been advocating for a nuclear-free region since 1974, five years before the country's Islamic revolution.
Israel has never admitted to possessing nuclear weapons.
Iran is under United Nations sanctions because of its uranium-enrichment activities. Tehran says its nuclear ambitions are peaceful.

Strategies for funding your "someday"
When it comes to saving for your retirement journey, preparation is everything. It doesn't need to be overwhelming. Explore the positive steps you can take – at any age – to keep your retirement dreams on course.
No matter where you're at in life, a Securian financial advisor can help you plan to be financially ready to retire at a time and in a place that you want. Contact an advisor to discuss your financial goals and ways to help you achieve them.
In your 20s
Start saving now – time truly is on your side.
When you're young, saving for retirement is often put on the back burner. But starting early lets you take advantage of compounding.
Compounding happens when your investments earn money. And instead of withdrawing that money and spending it, you reinvest it, adding to your investments.1 Make a decision to start saving now.
- Start saving now
- Calculate the amount you potentially need to save for retirement
- If you have a retirement plan with your employer, enroll now to maximize tax benefits2
- Plan small savings increases to reach 10-15 percent of your income
- Create a budget to make your income go further
- Pay off student loans and credit card debt
- Don't cash out your retirement plan if you change jobs – consider rolling it over to your new plan
In your 30s
Don't lose sight of your long-term goals. During this busy time of life, there are probably a million things vying for your money. Try not to get overwhelmed. Focus on the basics like reducing debt and increasing savings.
- Take time to calculate your retirement income needs
- Try saving one percent more of your salary each year
- Make sure your portfolio is diversified3
- Help protect your assets with adequate insurance
- Work to reduce or eliminate debt, use the savings in your budget toward retirement
In your 40s
When is the last time you reviewed your retirement savings? Since you are likely in your peak earning years, now is the time to increase the amount you are saving and take advantage of investment opportunities.
- Take time to calculate your retirement income needs
- Contribute "found" money from raises or bonuses to retirement account
- Consider consolidating your retirement accounts into one plan
- Make sure to rebalance annually
In your 50s
It's time to get serious. What will retirement look like to you? Are you on track with your savings to make your plans a reality or do you need to save more?
Make sure you consider all of your retirement income sources including Social Security and pensions, as well as your retirement savings.
- Calculate your retirement income needs and determine what you should be saving annually
- Make a list of all your retirement income sources
- Take advantage of catch-up contributions if needed4
- Be sure and plan for longevity
- Consider consolidating your retirement accounts into one plan
In your 60s and beyond
As you finalize your retirement preparation, there are some important considerations.
How much will Social Security realistically provide and when should you take it? Have you factored in health care costs? Do you need to adjust your investments to a more conservative mix? What are the various financial needs as you move through retirement?
- Continue contributing to your retirement plan, if you're still working
- With the help of an advisor identify the sources of income that make the most sense for your retirement
- Review the diversification of your investments
- Estimate your Social Security benefit and determine your best option for claiming Social Security benefits
- Learn more about the three phases of retirement and your financial needs during each stage
1 Investments will fluctuate and when redeemed may be worth more or less than when originally invested.
2 You should consult your tax advisor regarding your own tax situation.
3 Diversification does not guarantee against loss, it's a method used to manage risk.

Six of us set off from Hertford taking the back streets to join up with the Ware road. We were held up in Ware at the level crossing and then had to look for a loo - which was locked! We left Ware past Fanhams Hall to Bakers End where we turned north to Barwick Ford. After crossing the river, we turned right in Barwick and followed the river northwards to Puckeridge where we crossed the A120. Through Puckeridge, we then joined the old Cambridge road, continued through Braughing, Hay Street, and then arrived at Hare Street slightly early.
The Tortoise Tea Rooms was a new stop for us and we were provided with drinks and food at fairly reasonable prices. Fortunately, the service wasn't too tortoise-like and we got a slightly warmer welcome than was usual at the other Hare Street venue! Steve & Carol joined us at elevenses and (due to the planned pub stop not providing sandwiches) it was decided to change the lunch stop. Carol made a few phone calls and our new stop was to be The Woodman at Nuthampstead. After recalibrating the GPS, I set off through Anstey. Here Fred punctured and it was noted that his tyre had more than a passing resemblance to Kojak!
Puncture sorted, we carried on to Meesden and then Langley Lower Green. At Little Chishill the views opened out across Cambridgeshire and some deer were spotted in a distant field. At Shaftenhoe End we turned back south again to Nuthampstead.
Next to the Woodman is an impressive memorial to the American airmen of 398th bomber group, who lost their lives in the bombing raids that left from the nearby airstrip.
A group of walkers were also at the pub and some were picnicking in a neighbouring field; those of us with our own sandwiches joined them.
After lunch I led Fred back home, while the others completed the ride via Much Hadham.

text: "In Chicago, at a signing I get like 10 people. In Seattle, it's like 2,000." So says cartoonist Dan Clowes in the 1994 documentary Hooked on Comix, Vol. 1. The film will be screening on continuous loop in the Olympic Room this weekend, part of an exhibit organized by Fantagraphics Books called "Counterculture Comix: A 30-Year Survey of Seattle Alternative Cartoonists." As much as for coffee or indie rock, Seattle has long been a national center for creative, and cynical, cartooning. Even before the grunge boom helped artists like Peter Bagge, Jim Woodring, and Pat Moriarty gain national exposure, there was a late-'60s flowering of the form—the Northwest children of Robert Crumb, if you will. Larry Reid, who joined Fantagraphics in 1992 and today runs its bookstore/gallery in Georgetown, cites the example of the late Walt Crowley, who, before becoming a prominent journalist and historian, was a cartoonist at The Helix, which published from 1967–70. Why did Crowley eventually trade his pen for a typewriter? "He was a great artist," says Reid, "but he wasn't fast enough." By contrast, a prolific powerhouse trio emerged from The Evergreen State College in the late '70s: Charles Burns (whose acclaimed graphic novel Black Hole was inspired by his teen years at Roosevelt High School), Matt Groening (future creator of The Simpsons), and Lynda Barry (perhaps best known for her 1988 novel The Good Times Are Killing Me, later made into a musical play). The Bumbershoot show covers a period beginning in 1980, when, Reid recalls, "a cartoonist could live on air. I graduated from college and opened an art gallery in Pioneer Square. Kids can't do that now." (Well, maybe not in Pioneer Square, but kids are opening them elsewhere.) At that time, Burns and Groening had left the Northwest, but were contributing from afar. Groening's soon-to-be-famous strip Life in Hell ran in The Rocket. Burns' work in the Art Spiegelman magazine RAW led to Fantagraphics publishing his Big Baby and other titles. But it was Barry who became the city's alt-comics star. She began a regular strip, Ernie Pook's Comeek, in Seattle Weekly in 1986. And her first books, collecting that strip and others, were published by Real Comet Press, run by Comet Tavern owner Cathy Hillenbrand. Her Poodle With a Mohawk poster became a snarling local icon during the Reagan/Angry Housewives era. Barry left Seattle in 1989 but continues her art; her latest graphic novel, What It Is, recently won an Eisner Award. After looking back through his archives—and Fantagraphics' and some private collections—Reid declares, "The biggest surprise is how well Lynda Barry's stuff stands up...not cute or trivial or girly." (Poodle and many other of her works will be on display this weekend.) Then came grunge. Peter Bagge recalls with a chuckle in Hooked on Comix that "I've been able to ride on the city's coattails." He's being too modest, of course: His bitter, wayward rocker-wannabe character Buddy in Hate is almost as much a grunge icon as Kurt Cobain. (The exhibit's wall text quotes a 1992 Seattle Weekly story by Bruce Barcott that said: "Twenty years from now, when people want to know what it was like to be young in 1990s Seattle, the only record we'll have is Peter Bagge's Hate.") Bagge was among many local cartoonists employed by Sub Pop and other labels to do posters and album covers for suddenly national bands. The exposure helped everyone, Fantagraphics included. "The counterculture reached a critical mass," recalls Reid, who lauds "how integrated those disciples were—comix, music, and graphics" during that boom. "Cartoonists not just satirized or documented, but really informed the grunge movement." Nearly 20 years later, the productive collision of Seattle's graphic-arts and music scenes can still be seen on any light post or telephone pole on Capitol Hill. From the younger generation, work by Megan Kelso (Artichoke Tales) and Ellen Forney (I Love Led Zeppelin) will also be on view, along with some 300 drawings, artworks, and posters. And lest you dread squinting at tiny wall panels, Reid promises "posters and paintings—not just little stuff." Several artists will be on hand, including David Lasky, whose Bureau of Drawers collective will provide cartooning demonstrations and instruction (as will Friends of the Nib). Vol. 2 of the Hooked on Comix documentary series, made in 2002, will also be screened; and director Moore will attend to show his in-progress Vol. 3. Unlike at Flatstock, however, nothing will be for sale. email@example.com

Raul is a life-long resident of Oxnard, from a field working family that has migrated and worked these lands for generations. The life of a campesino runs in Raul's blood, from his Bracero grandparents to his own work in the fields during childhood. Living in an area where gang violence was prevalent, Raul witnessed death at a young age. At 12 years old, Raul began to volunteer for community-based nonprofits to remove himself from being pulled into the wrong path. This opened opportunities to expand his learning into passions like art, music, video production and community investment. Raul helped found The Lab, a creative studio with an open door policy for community members, artists and musicians to collaborate, organize, offer resources, and create a space for expression. Raul worked for Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) for the community building and neighborhood revitalization division with low-income families and at-risk youth to create events such as The 805 Youth Exchange, engaging hundreds of local youth in interactive and educational workshops. Raul also worked for the Academy of Healing Arts (AHA!) in Santa Barbara, as a social and emotional intelligence youth facilitator to provide youth a safe space to speak about issues troubling them and build confidence and critical thinking skills. Raul took 2 years off to focus on giving all his time to raising his 3 children, knowing the importance of parent involvement in child development and social and emotional wellness to prepare them for the future. Now that Raul's children are school age, Raul has found a home at CAUSE as the Oxnard Community Organizer.
