Preparing Your Company to Go Public
How would you like to join a very exclusive financial club where the members represent .001 percent of all of the businesses in the country? The members of this club are companies that have gone public. Why is this group made up of such a small percentage of corporations? Because completing an initial public offering (IPO) is tough, expensive and complex. It can also be mysterious and confusing because it involves the disciplines of accounting, financial reporting and security law, and the average entrepreneur usually does not have expertise in these areas.
As a result of the phenomenal success stories of technology and Internet-related IPOs during the past few years, the business world, the media and Americans in general have become infatuated with the stock market. In fact, our country's obsession with Wall Street is luring business owners from every industry to the public market.
This article will help you decide whether going public is right for your company, and provide an outline for preparing to take on the public market.
I. Why Go Public?
When considering whether or not to go public, you should first ask yourself what your motivations and objectives are. If your reasons are to gain the glamour and prestige that comes along with a successful offering or to keep up with competitors within your industry that are going public, you should think twice. While going public is considered an acknowledgment of success, since typically only high-growth, hot companies can do it, this is not a decision to be entered into lightly and you don't want to enter into it for the wrong reasons. Although it is tempting to want to share in the type of fortune and fame that comes along with a lucrative IPO, especially after the past several years of phenomenal offerings by technology and Internet companies, you have to consider what is best for your particular company.
There are many sound reasons for wanting to go public. For instance, equity capital obtained from an IPO is considered a permanent form of capital since there is no interest to be paid on the equity, and it is not repayable like debt. Therefore, funds generated by a public offering are considered a relatively "safe" form of capital for a business. Going public can also allow a company the freedom and flexibility to spend capital as it needs to finance its growth and further development, providing a solid financial base on which to build. Equity capital from an IPO also allows a company to exploit its market opportunities while they are present before competitors are able to seize them.
So if you want to take your company public to raise growth capital and you have explored all of your other alternatives for doing so then you're starting out on the right track.

II. Factors to Consider
In deciding whether going public is right for your company or not, there are several important factors that you should consider. There are also many legal considerations, but they are beyond the scope of this discussion. It is best to talk them over with your attorney.
First, and perhaps most important, your company must have what is known as "investor appeal" or "sex appeal." Quite simply, this means that your industry, services, or products must be in hot demand by individual or business consumers, which in turn puts them in hot demand by investors. Such hot companies and industries show the potential for outstanding growth, which translates into handsome returns for investors. Currently, the industries that have such appeal are Internet-related companies, such as service providers, and those that deal in electronic commerce, bandwidth and wireless. Other hot industries are biotechnology, communications companies, software developers and restaurateurs.
A few more things that will make your company sexy to investors are: having a proprietary product or service; being first on the market; and absolute, exclusive control over a proprietary product or service protected by patents, copyrights, trade secrets or private formulas no one else has or is likely to get anytime soon.
Anything that gives you a very competitive or "unfair" advantage over your competition is what you are after. It also helps to have your market easily identifiable, as well as easily explainable to prospective investors.
Esoteric products and services sometimes lose their sex appeal in the translation.
Although it seems that investors' tastes vary from year to year, there are those that specialize in particular markets, such as health care or employment services, on an ongoing basis. Simply doing your homework on the Internet or by scouring newspaper headlines at your library will tell you whether or not your company falls into a category that currently has investor appeal. If it does not, perhaps the timing is wrong for a public offering, or perhaps there is a way that you can parlay your existing company into a hot market.
You can find additional information about companies that have investor appeal at Red Herring, and TheStreet.com.
Next, it's important to realize that your company will undergo some significant changes after an IPO, not the least of which is caused by the influence of your investors. You will be subject to their ideas, opinions and demands on how you should run your company. More likely than not, decisions will still be made in team fashion, with your preferences weighed heavily, but it will no longer be just you running the show. If you are not willing to turn over at least partial control to these individuals, or you do not trust that they will make good decisions for your organization, you may want to think twice before taking the plunge.
Your company will also be put under a microscope by investors, customers, competitors, the media and so on. As the head of a public company, you will be required to disclose quarterly financial statements - including your own salary and other sensitive information. As a result of providing this window into your company's performance, you will be in the position of having to explain negative performance, such as lagging growth or sagging sales, to keep investors satisfied. Many investors will be comfortable with minor downturns in your business as long as you keep the lines of communication open and can prove that the situation will be rectified in a reasonable amount of time.
Additionally, going public will change the entire dynamic within your organization. Everyone on staff may feel compelled to live by the day-to-day changes of your stock price, taking their time and attention away from their jobs. And they may panic even at minor fluctuations in the market that are out of your company's control. It is more important than ever in such situations to maintain open communications among all of your staff.
Last, you should also consider the toll going public will take on your professional and personal life. Because it is such a time- and energy-intensive process, it will likely distract you from your role of actually running the company and eat into the time you currently spend with family and friends. While these may seem like minor issues, it is important to know what you're in for. You don't want to be surprised later when you're spending the majority of 12- and 14-hour days on your IPO.
Self-Assessment: Have You Considered All of the Factors?
Answer the following questions to determine
whether you have considered all of the downsides of going public:
If you answered "No" to any of the questions above, you should carefully re-evaluate your willingness and ability to do an IPO at this time.

III. Getting Prepped
While the going public process is often wild and unpredictable, there are some steps you can take to prepare for it. They include the following:
The main economic indicators that prove your company's ability to make money for investors are rate of growth and net profit margins. These figures show how quickly you can grow and how much profit you can make on your revenues. Keep in mind that although when you were a private company you wanted to show as little profit as possible to save on income taxes, as a pre-IPO, you want just the reverse. You want to do everything in your power to show a good return on your sales. That might mean cutting costs, improving your inventory turnover, or boosting your revenues by adding products or services. Whatever you have to do to show better revenues and earnings, now is the time to do it.
Remember that you are giving away a piece of your company to the public. What they are willing to pay for it depends on your profits and rate of growth. The better your growth and profit statistics, the higher the price you will get for your stock, the less equity you will have to sell, and the more money you will raise. For additional reading on this topic, see Analyze Profitability and Financial Ratio Analysis.
If, after taking a good look at your organizational chart, you find that there are holes, plug them! Now is the time to strengthen your management team and surround yourself with the best staff possible. For assistance, see Hire for Success.
The number one criteria used by investment bankers to decide if you are ready to go public is whether you have already developed a working model of your business. This means you are selling your products or services and servicing those sales and can also demonstrate the potential to roll out your economic concept on a national scale or major regional scale.
When trying to attract an underwriter to take your company public, you should not only stimulate interest by explaining the potential of an investment in your company, but you should also reduce the perceived risk to the lowest possible level by explaining how an investment in your company will strengthen your position in the market.

IV. A Timeline for the Process
Barring any unforeseen events, it usually takes about a year to do an IPO from start to finish. Note that market timing is everything, however, and if the market is not performing well, you may want to hold up the process until it recovers.
Here is a breakdown of how the process typically unfolds, month by month:
Month #1 - Create a professionally written business plan that describes the reason for raising capital, how you will use the funds, and how it will improve the company. This will be the first thing potential investors get to know about your company, so make sure it is well-written.
Months #2, 3, 4 - Shop the plan around to attract an underwriter. It typically takes three months because you will have to do your homework to find an underwriter who shares your philosophy and understands your goals and concerns.
Months #5, 6, 7 - Write the offering prospectus and undergo due diligence with your underwriter. These steps are best handled by an attorney and are beyond the scope of this article.
Months #8, 9, 10 - Get necessary regulatory approvals from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Months #11, 12 - Bring all parties together lawyers, regulators and investment bankers to do a "road show" for the potential underwriters, brokers, dealers and institutional investors. During this stage, you and your management team will spend one to two weeks traveling around the region or country doing a whirlwind series of short presentations to drum up interest in the sale of your stock.
When you are finished with the road show, you will be ready to make your offering.
Back to Outline
V. Alternatives to Consider
There are a couple of alternative routes you can take to enter the public arena that may be easier and quicker for your company. They include:
Direct Public Offering
What do you do if you can't find an investment banker to underwrite your offering? The answer is something every entrepreneur knows by heart: do it yourself. There is such a thing as a direct public offering (DPO). This usually means you are selling your stock yourself. Where do you find the investors in such a scenario? You can start with your own customers or suppliers. If that is not enough to bring in all the capital you need, you can also try the Internet. It is inexpensive, and there are great Web sites that attract investors looking to buy IPOs. Sites such as IPO.com offer companies the opportunity to reach investors without the expense of an investment banker by placing their private placement or IPO online.
If you are wondering why you should pay an investment banker using the traditional route if you can do it yourself, the answer is the same as if you were asking, "Why hire a lawyer; why not defend myself?" Or even better, "Why use a doctor; why not heal myself?" It is always wise to get a trained expert to assist you if you can afford to do so.
Reverse Merger Into a Public Shell
You can also literally buy the shell of an existing public company to become in the eyes of the law a public company. The trouble with this technique is that while your company does become public, it does not get any fresh capital out of the transaction. Yet you still have to spend considerable time and money on the process. Under this type of arrangement, your shares will trade but without that new capital on your balance sheet, you will probably be undervalued and end up just another penny stock. Be cautious when offered this solution by any investment banker.

Wishing all of my Asian readers a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year of the Snake*! MT
*If the image below doesn't look familiar, or seems interesting, then it's time to get invited to a Lou Sang or Yee Sang – it's a kind of salad with symbolic components that gets tossed ritually for prosperity, luck and health in the company of friends and family. The sauce is also quite sticky, so don't get too close with the camera; from personal experience, it's hell to clean off lenses.
On to the more photographically interesting second part: the garage sale. Up for grabs today are a couple of items:
1. The ultimate Nikon D700 body kit – Price now reduced to US$1,500 excluding shipping, but including paypal fees Sold!
Shortly after buying the camera, I modified it personally to be perfectly set up for manual focus work. This means that the mirror zero position has been aligned, and the focusing screen shimmed: what you see in the finder is exactly what the sensor sees. I then went one step further and added a type J screen (extra snappy, central split prism) from the Nikon F6; this is not a simple modification because it doesn't fit. The screen has to be cut down and filed to fit in the D700's focusing screen carrier. The camera also includes:
- DK-17M 1.2x magnifying eyepiece;
- MB-D10 battery grip and adaptors for EN-EL3e batteries, AA batteries and the optional EN-EL4a adaptor;
- Two extra EN-EL3e batteries;
- Two EN-EL4a batteries and a MH-21 charger – this lets you get to 8fps and extends battery life dramatically;
- New, original, unused strap;
- All boxes and papers (except for the MH-21, that's from my busted D2H).
It's been used professionally but taken care of. Shutter actuations are slightly below 70k, but it was checked recently by NPS and given a clean bill of health. (The D700 is rated to 150,000, so there's plenty of life left in it yet.) Otherwise, it's cosmetically perfect with no rub marks, paint, scratches etc. – I believe in taking good care of my equipment.
You're probably wondering why I'm selling it. Simple answer: I need the D800E's file size to keep commercial clients happy, and I hardly do any reportage anymore. I felt it should go to a good home and somebody who would appreciate it rather than sitting folorn in a drybox. This is the ideal camera for manual focus lens aficionados! I have a full long-term review here, and a great many of the images on this site were shot with it.
2. Sony RX100 with Franiec grip and extra battery – US$500 excluding shipping but including paypal fees. Sold pending payment
Self explanatory, really. The camera includes a Richard Franiec grip and one spare original battery, plus boxes/ papers and whatnots. Just throwing this one out there as I could keep it or not; it's an excellent pocket camera. It's just that I seem to be using the GR1v a lot more than the RX100 these days. Also, if I sell this one, I can pick up something else to review for you guys 🙂 Note: the camera has a couple of small paint loss marks on the left border of the LCD, otherwise it's perfect. Under 4k actuations on this one. My full review is here.
If you're interested in either of these cameras, please get in touch. Thanks! MT

Marquette's South Africa Service Learning Program is based in cosmopolitan Cape Town, at the southern tip of the African continent.
While living in Cape Town, you will become acquainted with South Africa's rich history and see firsthand how the country is rebuilding itself after decades of government-enforced-apartheid. Cape Town's diverse socioeconomic communities will become your classroom and its leaders your techers.
The people of South Africa call their country the Rainbow Nation to demonstrate pride in their racial, ethnic and linguistic diversity. The country has 11 official languages. In the Cape Town area, you will predominantly hear Xhosa, Afrikaans and English.
You will have the opportunity to visit significant South African historical and cultural sites, such as Table Mountain, historic District 6 in the city's center and Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners were incarcerated during apartheid. In addition to a spectacular array of wildlife unique to South Africa, you will experience powerful literary and artistic voices, traditional music, delicious foods and diverse architecture.
The South Africa Service Learning Program, in conjunction with the University of the Western Cape, builds upon Marquette's strong tradition of service learning. The program offers you the unique opportunity to increase their understanding of the people, history, culture and traditions of South Africa through integrated academic course work and direct immersion into the culture through community-based service.
To help ensure a positive experience, a full-time resident director is on site in South Africa to guide you and help you delve more deeply into issues you encounter as you immerse yourself in South African society.
You will have the opportunity to put your education to work through serving with a community-based organization two days a week during the semester. These service learning sites let you make a difference in the ongoing transformation of South Africa through working on community education, health issues, gender inequities, sustainable living and youth education
The selected organizations provide services for and advocate on behalf of people whose voices are not heard and who continue to struggle with injustice and pervasive poverty. They encourage those they serve to empower themselves and to be voices for change.

Raise your hand if you (or your parents) have an outstanding student loan. Okay, now put your hand down -- people are starting to stare.
Probably about two-thirds of you raised your hand if you went to college in the United States. That means that two-thirds of you are accustomed to the excruciating realization that, after years of monthly payments, your balance never goes down.
Now, imagine for a second what you would have done if student loans didn't exist. Would you have worked a part-time job? Gone to a cheaper school? Not gone at all?
After high school, we all have a choice to make. Often, it's a delicate balancing act between exalted dreams and financial realities. Student loans give our dreams a leg up, allowing us to explore our interests and maximize our potential.
But in the rest of the world, financial markets for education are lacking and sometimes nonexistent. Few teenagers have the collateral they need to borrow money against their future earnings, but the price of education continues to climb across the globe. Now more than ever, we need newer and better cost-sharing mechanisms to help more young people go to college.
Governments have a reason to invest
This attitude has led to a rapid expansion in public education spending since the 1950s, and student enrollment has skyrocketed accordingly. During the 1990s alone, worldwide enrollment jumped from 68.6 to 110.7 million and doubled in developing countries from 29.3 to 58.3 million.
Still, limitations exist. This expansion has been curtailed by governments' inability to respond to increasing demand for education. In Africa, student enrollment has risen 16% annually since 1991 while aggregate expenditures on education have increased only 6% on average. The result: A reduction in resources per student and declining quality of teaching and learning.
None of this has slowed demand. By 2015, it's estimated that the number of college-eligible students will triple in at least 10 countries on the continent -- including Tanzania, Ethiopia and Rwanda -- representing a significant challenge to already packed public universities.
The stop-gap solution
None of this has slowed demand. By 2015, it's estimated that the number of college-eligible students will triple in at least 10 countries on the continent -- including Tanzania, Ethiopia and Rwanda -- representing a significant challenge to already packed public universities.
The stop-gap solution
Cuts to government social spending, paired with the rising cost of living, has led to protests in many developed countries and a systemic loss of trust in public institutions in their developing neighbors. These trends have also degraded the rationale behind public education in the first place: equity.
In Malawi for example, the majority of public funding for education is, paradoxically, funneled to the top 10% of income earners. They're the ones who can pay for tutors and better secondary schools to increase their kids' chances of scoring well on entrance exams. The net result is that wealthier students get accepted to and benefit from free tuition at public universities, while only a small sliver of the poor can hope to get in, much less afford it.
Increasingly, private universities and charter schools offer viable alternatives to those left out of the public system. In many cases, these institutions have proven more agile to changing circumstances by offering functional curricula and more egalitarian admissions policies. Nevertheless, high costs continue to marginalize students from remote regions and lower income brackets.
One of Kiva's Field Partners, Strathmore University in Kenya, is seeking to bridge this gap by offering loan programs to vulnerable and underserved students. Kiva's flexible, risk-tolerant capital is ideal to offer longer-term, cost-effective loans to students who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford a private education. Now Kiva lenders have the ability to help students pay for tuition, computers and other necessary school expenses.
So far so good, but the crisis in education financing is widespread and complex. Other innovative cost-sharing mechanisms are vital if universities are going to keep up with rising demand and ensure that poorer students don't get left in the back of the class.
In the meantime, Kiva is thrilled to be contributing to the emerging market for education financing, and we plan to aggressively expand our higher education portfolio. Stay tuned in the coming weeks when we will announce and profile a new partner that offers very unique loans based on the fundamentals of work-study programs.

larios necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 289 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
Yannis Larios Photography
Let me first thank you in advance for participating in this project. As an "art-person" I really appreciate your input and insight.
I am a high-end landscape art photographer, exhibiting my photography at http://www.larios.gr . At the top of my website, you will find my current logo that I have prepared by myself.
I am currently expanding my photography business to provide "boutique" upscale wedding photography services. The purpose of my wedding photography business is to be able to differentiate myself in my wider metropolitan city area (5 mil. people), on the basis of very high quality, emotive-art wedding photography which differs from the stereotypical cheesy shots of other wedding photographers around.
I want to entice new couples to select me on quality, differentiation, class but also on being modern and close to their younger-attitudes and life-style versus the boring, conventional "stereotypical" style of competitor photographers. The same of course applies to my landscape art clients.
The new logo should be able to address both my target groups, ie. people interested in wedding photography and also people interested in my landscape/ art photography.
Young soon-to-be-married couples seeking a highly-perceived wedding photographer, who can capture the emotive aspects of their wedding through high-class artful photography. The photography business is directed towards the upper middle class and upper class market. The target audience would be booking weddings at upscale locations. The logo should have strong brand recognition.
High-end Clients seeking to buy landscape photography art
I am looking for a logo to represent my wedding photography business: Yannis Larios Photography. The logo will be used in all marketing material.
- Logo needs to be legible, clean, unique and recognizable as a brand
- It should have some modern twist, but should emit "high-class"
- Should be easily identifiable in black/ dark background (such as in http://www.larios.gr) and in white background. Thus, two versions are needed
- Logo should also include some element/ icon apart from text.
- Maybe initials Y L or only the "L" could play some "game" in the logo but this is not obligatory.
- Experiment with different types of fonts
- Ability to resize (vector based). Able to be placed on a business card/watermark.
- No greys or dull colors.
- I seem to prefer sharp, clean, and sometimes modern looking fonts. But, be creative!
- Do not use any stock images or cheap looking clip art in the logo
- No feminine colors
- The logo must lend to a horizontal layout

Jazz in America after 1945
John Gennari
In the post-1945 period, jazz moved rapidly from one major avant-garde revolution (the birth of bebop) to another (the emergence of free jazz) while developing a profusion of subgenres (hard bop, progressive, modal, Third Stream, soul jazz) and a new idiomatic persona (cool or hip) that originated as a form of African American resistance but soon became a signature of transgression and authenticity across the modern arts and culture. Jazz's long-standing affiliation with African American urban life and culture intensified through its central role in the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s. By the 1970s, jazz, now fully eclipsed in popular culture by rock n' roll, turned to electric instruments and fractured into a multitude of hyphenated styles (jazz-funk, jazz-rock, fusion, Latin jazz). The move away from acoustic performance and traditional codes of blues and swing musicianship generated a neoclassical reaction in the 1980s that coincided with a mission to establish an orthodox jazz canon and honor the music's history in elite cultural institutions. Post-1980s jazz has been characterized by tension between tradition and innovation, earnest preservation and intrepid exploration, Americanism and internationalism.
Organized Labor and the Civil Rights Movement
Alan Draper
The relationship between organized labor and the civil rights movement proceeded along two tracks. At work, the two groups were adversaries, as civil rights groups criticized employment discrimination by the unions. But in politics, they allied. Unions and civil rights organizations partnered to support liberal legislation and to oppose conservative southern Democrats, who were as militant in opposing unions as they were fervent in supporting white supremacy.
At work, unions dithered in their efforts to root out employment discrimination. Their initial enthusiasm for Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which outlawed employment discrimination, waned the more the new law violated foundational union practices by infringing on the principle of seniority, emphasizing the rights of the individual over the group, and inserting the courts into the workplace. The two souls of postwar liberalism— labor solidarity represented by unions and racial justice represented by the civil rights movement—were in conflict at work.
Although the unions and civil rights activists were adversaries over employment discrimination, they united in trying to register southern blacks to vote. Black enfranchisement would end the South's exceptionalism and the veto it exercised over liberal legislation in Congress. But the two souls of liberalism that were at odds over the meaning of fairness at work would also diverge at the ballot box. As white workers began to defect from the Democratic Party, the political coalition of black and white workers that union leaders had hoped to build was undermined from below. The divergence between the two souls of liberalism in the 1960s—economic justice represented by unions and racial justice represented by civil rights—helps explain the resurgence of conservatism that followed.
Rock and Roll
Eric Weisbard
Rock and roll, a popular music craze of the mid-1950s, turned a loud, fast, and sexy set of sounds rooted in urban, black, working class, and southern America into the pop preference as well of suburban, white, young, and northern America. By the late 1960s, those fans and British counterparts made their own version, more politicized and experimental and just called rock—the summoning sound of the counterculture. Rock's aura soon faded: it became as much entertainment staple as dissident form, with subcategories disparate as singer-songwriter, heavy metal, alternative, and "classic rock." Where rock and roll was integrated and heterogeneous, rock was largely white and homogeneous, policing its borders. Notoriously, rock fans detonated disco records in 1979. By the 1990s, rock and roll style was hip-hop, with its youth appeal and rebelliousness; post‒baby boomer bands gave rock some last vanguard status; and suburbanites found classic rock in New Country. This century's notions of rock and roll have blended thoroughly, from genre "mash-ups" to superstar performers almost categories unto themselves and new sounds such as EDM beats. Still, crossover moments evoke rock and roll; assertions of authenticity evoke rock. Because rock and roll, and rock, epitomize cultural ideals and group identities, their definitions have been constantly debated. Initial argument focused on challenging genteel, professional notions of musicianship and behavior. Later discourse took up cultural incorporation and social empowerment, with issues of gender and commercialism as prominent as race and artistry. Rock and roll promised one kind of revolution to the post-1945 United States; rock another. The resulting hope and confusion has never been fully sorted, with mixed consequences for American music and cultural history.
The 1960s
Robert O. Self
Few decades in American history reverberate with as much historical reach or glow as brightly in living mythology as the 1960s. During those years Americans reanimated and reinvented the core political principles of equality and liberty but, in a primal clash that resonates more than half a century later, fiercely contested what those principles meant, and for whom. For years afterward, the decade's appreciators considered the era to have its own "spirit," defined by greater freedoms and a deeper, more authentic personhood, and given breath by a youthful generation's agitation for change in nearly every dimension of national life. To its detractors in subsequent decades, the era was marked by immature radical fantasies and dangerous destabilizations of the social order, behind which lay misguided youthful enthusiasms and an overweening, indulgent federal government. We need not share either conviction to appreciate the long historical shadow cast by the decade's clashing of left, right, and center and its profound influence over the political debates, cultural logics, and social practices of the many years that followed.
The decade's political and ideological clashes registered with such force because post–World War II American life was characterized by a society-wide embrace of antiradicalism and a prescribed normalcy. Having emerged from the war as the lone undamaged capitalist industrial power, the United States exerted enormous influence throughout the globe after 1945—so much that some historians have called the postwar years a "pax Americana." In its own interest and in the interest of its Western allies, the United States engaged in a Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union over the fate of Europe and no less over the fate of developing countries on every continent. Fiercely anticommunist abroad and at home, U.S. elites stoked fears of the damage communism could do, whether in Eastern Europe or in a public school textbook. Americans of all sorts in the postwar years embraced potent ideologies justifying the prevailing order, whether that order was capitalist, patriarchal, racial, or heterosexual. They pursued a postwar "normalcy" defined by nuclear family domesticity and consumer capitalism in the shadow cast by the threat of communism and, after 1949, global thermonuclear war with the Soviet Union. This prevailing order was stultifying and its rupture in the 1960s is the origin point of the decade's great dramas.
The social movements of that decade drew Americans from the margins of citizenship—African Americans, Latina/o, Native Americans, women, and gay men and lesbians, among others—into epochal struggles over the withheld promise of equality. For the first time since 1861, an American war deeply split the nation, nearly destroying a major political party and intensifying a generational revolt already under way. Violence, including political assassinations at the highest level, bombings and assassinations of African Americans, bombings by left-wing groups like the Weathermen, and major urban uprisings by African Americans against police and property bathed the country in more blood. The New Deal liberalism of Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman reached its postwar peak in 1965 under President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and then retreated amid acrimony and backlash, as a new conservative politics gained traction. All this took place in the context of a "global 1960s," in which societies in Western and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa, and elsewhere experienced similar generational rebellions, quests for meaningful democracy, and disillusionment with American global hegemony. From the first year of the decade to the last, the 1960s were a watershed era that marked the definitive end of a "postwar America" defined by easy Cold War dualities, presumptions of national innocence, and political calcification.
To explain the foregoing, this essay is organized in five sections. First comes a broad overview of the decade, highlighting some of its indelible moments and seminal political events. The next four sections correspond to the four signature historical developments of the 1960s. Discussed first is the collapse of the political consensus that predominated in national life following World War II. We can call this consensus "Vital Center liberalism," after the title of a 1949 book by Arthur Schlesinger Jr., or "Cold War liberalism." Its assault from both the New Left and the New Right is one of the defining stories of the 1960s. Second is the resurgence, after a decades-long interregnum dating to Reconstruction, of African American political agency. The black freedom struggle of the 1960s was far more than a social movement for civil rights. To shape the conditions of national life and the content of public debate in ways impossible under Jim Crow, black American called for nothing less than a spiritual and political renewal of the country. Third, and following from the latter, is the emergence within the American liberal tradition of a new emphasis on expanding individual rights and ending invidious discrimination. Forged in conjunction with the black freedom movement by women, Latino/as, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and homophiles (as early gay rights activists were called) and gay liberationists, this new emphasis profoundly changed American law and set the terms of political debate for the next half century. Fourth and lastly, the 1960s witnessed the flourishing of a broad and diverse culture of anti-authoritarianism. In art, politics, and social behavior, this anti-authoritarianism took many forms, but at its heart lay two distinct historical phenomena: an ecstatic celebration of youth, manifest in the tension between the World War II generation and the baby boom generation, and an intensification of the long-standing conflict in American life between individualism and hierarchical order.
Despite the disruptions, rebellions, and challenges to authority in the decade, the political and economic elite proved remarkably resilient and preserved much of the prevailing order. This is not to discount the foregoing account of challenges to that order or to suggest that social change in the 1960s made little difference in American life. However, in grappling with this fascinating decade we are confronted with the paradox of outsized events and enormous transformations in law, ideology, and politics alongside a continuation, even an entrenchment, of traditional economic and political structures and practices.
The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Black Freedom Struggle of the 1960s
Charles M. Payne
The only youth-led national civil rights organization in the 1960s in the United States, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), grew out of sit-ins, with the base of its early membership coming from Black colleges. It became one of the most militant civil rights groups, pushing older organizations to become more aggressive. Under the tutelage of the experienced activist Ella Baker, it emphasized developing leadership in "ordinary" people. Its early years were dominated by direct action campaigns against White supremacy in the urban and Upper South, while internally, SNCC strove to actualize the Beloved Community. Later it specialized in grassroots community organizing and voter registration in dangerous areas of the Deep South. Its Freedom Summer campaign played a significant role in radicalizing young activists. SNCC, in general, acted as a training ground and model for other forms of youth activism. Notwithstanding its own issues with chauvinism, SNCC was open to leadership from women in a way that few social change organizations of the time were.
Women in the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements
Christina Greene
Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X are the names that come to mind for most Americans if asked about the civil rights or Black Power movements. Others may point to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, both of whom backed pathbreaking civil rights legislation. However, recent scholarship suggests that neither black male leaders nor white male presidents were always the most important figures in the modern struggle for black freedom. Presidents took their cues not simply from male luminaries in civil rights organizations. Rather, their legislative initiatives were largely in response to grassroots protests in which women, especially black women, were key participants. African American women played major roles in local and national organizing efforts and frequently were the majority in local chapters of groups as dissimilar as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Black Panther Party. Even familiar names like Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King have become little more than sanitized national icons, while their decades-long efforts to secure racial, economic, and gender justice remain relatively unknown. Aside from activists and scholars, even fewer of us know much, if anything, about the female allies of the black freedom struggle, including white southerners as well as other women of color. A closer look at the women who made enormous contributions to both the modern civil rights and Black Power movements sheds new light on these struggles, including the historic national victories we think we fully understand, such as the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. In short, examining women's participation in the "long civil rights movement," which historians increasingly date to the New Deal and World War II, calls for a redefinition of more conventional notions of leadership, protest, and politics.

Bryan Man Heads To Federal Prison For Threats To TSU
HOUSTON – Dereon Tayronne Kelley, 22, of Bryan, has been ordered to prison following his convictions on all counts for communicating a bomb threat to an academic institution, United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced today. The verdict was returned Wednesday, April 10, 2013, after two days of trial and approximately one hour of deliberation.
Today, U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes, who presided over the trial, handed Kelley a sentence of 33 months. He was further ordered to pay a $300 fine and pay $15,548.93 in restitution. Kelley will also be required to serve a term of three years of supervised release following completion of the prison term.
Kelley was accused of three counts of using the Internet to convey a false threat involving an explosive device in order to intimidate individuals at Texas State University (TSU).
According to evidence and testimony presented in court, Kelley used his cell phone and "hacked" into his former girlfriend's Yahoo email account and sent three separate emails threatening to bomb the Admission's Office at Texas State University. Kelley's girlfriend was a former student at TSU.
The defense attempted to convince the jury that the crime was committed by some other person. However, this assertion was contradicted by the email header and cell phone service provider records.
Kelley will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.
The intensive investigation was initiated by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) - College Station Resident Agency, working together with the Texas A&M University Police Department. The JTTF is comprised of the FBI, Bryan Police Department, Texas A&M University Police Department, College Station Police Department, Brazos County Sheriff's Office, the United States Secret Service and Waller County Sheriff's Office.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney S. Mark McIntyre and Craig Feazel.

The 'Heaven' benchmark that uses the Unigine easily shows off the
full potential of DirectX 11 graphics cards. It reveals the enchanting
magic of floating islands with a tiny village hidden in the cloudy
skies. With the interactive mode emerging, experience of exploring the
intricate world is within reach. Through its advanced renderer, Unigine
is one of the first to set precedence in showcasing the art assets with
tessellation, bringing compelling visual finesse, utilizing the
technology to the full extent and exhibiting the possibilities of
enriching 3D gaming. The distinguishing feature of the benchmark is a
hardware tessellation that is a scalable technology aimed for automatic
subdivision of polygons into smaller and finer pieces so that
developers can gain a more detailed look of their games almost free of
charge in terms of performance. Thanks to this procedure, the
elaboration of the rendered image finally approaches the boundary of
veridical visual perception: the virtual reality transcends conjured by
your hand.
For this benchmark we used Heaven DX11 Benchmark Version 3.0, which just came out on March 7th, 2012. We haven't run this benchmark in over a year, so it will be interesting to see how this new generation of video cards handles this benchmark. We wanted to see how the cards would do with mild settings, so we disabled AA and AF and set the Tessellation to moderate. We ran the benchmark at 2560×1600, 1920×1200 and 1280×1024 to see how the cards would perform with a wide variety of settings.
With moderate tessellation enabled and AA and AF disabled the benchmark results were very close.
Many feel that tessellation is one of the most important features of game titles today and in the future, so we set tessellation to extreme and maxed out the anti-aliasing at 8x and the anisotropic filtering at 16x. These are as high as you can set the tessellation and image quality settings in Heaven DX11 Benchmark v3.0, so it will really punish these cards.
With the tessellation set to extreme and AA cranked up we really stress the cards memory bandwidth! We see a 1-2 FPS difference between the two BIOS modes on the SAPPHIRE HD 7970 OC.

This 1953 newspaper article from the Greenfield Recorder-Gazette in Greenfield, Massachusetts, describes the Threadwell Tap & Die Company as the third largest industry in Greenfield. Faced with a "dark future" before World War II (WWII), the company was revived by the many defense contracts it received during the war. The company was established in 1892 for the manufacture of butchers' tools when the Nichols brothers bought the failing plant of the Greenfield Tool Company. Despite being laughed at by hardware men who argued that Yankee craftsmen could not manufacture suitable knives and meat cutters, the brothers loaded up their wagon with only $2 in their pocket and were inundated with orders. Eventually, they branched out into the manufacture of threading tools, and in 1934 the Threadwill Tap & Die Company was formed, 14 years after the Nichols brothers retired. The company was purchased in 1946 by the Sheffield Corporation of Dayton, Ohio, the largest manufacturer of precision gauges in the United States during a program of post-war expansion. The company was bought out by Bendix, then merged with Besley, and is now located in China.

The 15th annual Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival at Eastern Mennonite University will spotlight composers from many cultures who were strongly influenced by the prolific German composer.
The program opens Sunday, June 10 and concludes with the popular Leipzig worship service June 17.
Photo by Jim Bishop
"Since Felix Mendelssohn's revival of Bach's 'St. Matthew Passion' in 1829, composers have been inspired by the monumental music of the late Baroque master," said Kenneth J. Nafziger, artistic director and conductor of the festival. "The circle of admirers includes all who participate in Bach festivals around the world and musicians from many cultures who have made his music their own."
The opening concert, at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 10, in Lehman Auditorium. will feature Bach's "Concerto for 2 Violins and Strings in D Minor" with violinists Joan Griffing and Susan Black; "Bachianas brasileiras, No. 1" by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Mendelssohn's' "String Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major" and "Las Cuatro Estaciones Portenas" (The Four Seasons) by Astor Piazzola.
Major festival concerts will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 15 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 16 in Lehman Auditorium. Friday's program will feature the brilliant artistry of pianist Janina Fialkowska in two concertos for piano and orchestra by Frederic Chopin, along with Bach's "Orchestral Suite No. 1 in C Major and Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach's "Symphony in E-flat Major."
Saturday night's program will draw on the combined talents of the Bach festival orchestra and choir with guest soloists Sharla Nafziger, soprano, and Thomas Jones, bass, in performing Johannes Brahms' "Requiem."
Chamber music programs with instrumentalists and vocalists from the festival will be presented noon-1 p.m. Monday through Saturday, June 11-16, at Asbury United Methodist Church, S. Main St., in Harrisonburg. Admission is free; donations are welcomed.
The festival will conclude with the annual Leipzig service at 10 a.m. June 17 in Lehman Auditorium, often cited by many attendees as the highlight of the week. The program recreates an 18th century worship service at St. Thomas Lutheran Church in Leipzig, Germany, where Bach was cantor and conducted a cantata for each week's service.
The Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival is sponsored in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the Arts Council of the Valley.
Bach Festival tickets are available on-line at www.emu.edu/bach or by calling the EMU box office at 540-432-4582.
