Master of suspense James
Patterson reopens the ultimate
cold case-the unsolved death of
King Tut.
Thrust onto Egypt's most
powerful throne at the age of
nine, King Tut was challenged
from the first days of his reign.
The veil of prosperity could not
hide the bitter rivalries and
jealousy that flourished among
the Boy King's most trusted
advisers. Less than a decade after
his elevation, King Tut suddenly
perished, and in the years and
centuries that followed, his name
was purged from Egyptian
history. To this day, his death
remains shrouded in
controversy.
The keys to an unsolved
mystery...
Intrigued by what little was
known about Tut, and hoping to
unlock the answers to the 3,000-
year-old mystery, Howard
Carter made it his life's mission
to uncover the pharaoh's hidden
tomb. He began his search in
1907 but encountered countless
setbacks and dead ends before
he finally discovered the long-
lost crypt.
The clues point to murder...
Now James Patterson and
Martin Dugard dig through
stacks of evidence--X-rays,
Carter's files, forensic clues, and
stories told through the ages—to
arrive at their own account of
King Tut's life and death. The
result is an exhilarating true-
crime tale of intrigue, passion,
and betrayal that casts fresh light
on the oldest mystery of them
all.
Check out The Murder of King
Tut by James Patterson and
Martin Dugard today at the
Archer Public Library.
The Blood of Lambs reveals
the true inside story of the
making and mind-set of a
Muslim terrorist. Though his ties
with terrorism were severed
more than twenty years ago, it
was not until 9/11, when radical
Muslims rained terror on
American shores, that Kamal
Saleem stepped out of the
shadows and revealed his true
identity. Today, he is a different
kind of warrior. He now stands
on the wall and shouts to
America, "Open your eyes and
fight the danger that lives among
you."
As the terrible fruit of Kamal's
early life in jihad screams from
today's headlines, he
courageously puts his life on the
line to defend America, the
country he now calls home.
Check out The Blood of
Lambs: A Former Terrorist's
Memoir of Death and
Redemption by Kamal Saleem
today at the Archer Public
Library.

SHOULD YOU ADD
"MUNIS" TO YOUR
PORTFOLIO?
It's election season. Although
you won't be selecting either a
new president or a new Congress,
you may well have the opportunity
to vote on something that can
affect your city or state: municipal
bonds. However, just because you
vote to give your state or local
government permission to issue
municipal bonds doesn't mean you
have to invest in them. But should
you? Before you can answer that
question, you need to know what
municipal bonds are and how they
work. General obligation bonds
are backed by property taxes and
finance projects from cities,
counties, school districts and
states. Revenue bonds are backed
by a specific revenue source and
finance hospitals, utilities,
airports, affordable housing and
other public works. So when you
invest in a revenue bond, you are
being somewhat civic-minded,
although you aren't confined to
bonds issued by your city or state.
You can get other tangible benefits
from investing in municipal
bonds, or "munis." First, you'll
receive regular interest payments.
Just as importantly, these
payments typically are exempt
from federal income taxes - and
possibly state and local income
taxes as well. Keep in mind,
however, that they may be subject
to the alternative minimum tax.
Consequently, if you're in an upper
tax bracket, you may be especially
interested in munis. Still, before
investing in a muni, you'll want to
determine its yield. Basically, a
bond's yield is the rate of return it
promises at any given price; when
a bond's price rises, its yield
usually falls, and vice versa. The
longer the time to a bond's
maturity, the greater its interest
rate risk. To compare the yield of
a tax-free muni to that of a taxable
bond, you must calculate its tax-
equivalent yield, which is based
■74-4543
aijfv' SUPERMARKET
UJOXil'er
b*//j
on the muni's interest rate and
your individual tax bracket. F$r
example, let’s say you kl|e
considering a tax-free muni that
pays 4% interest, and you're injfre
28% tax bracket. To determine
the bond’s tax-equivalent yield,
subtract your tax rate (.28) from
1, giving you .72. Then divide the
bond’s rate, or .4, by .72, giving
you 5.5%. This means you would
need to find a taxable bond that
pays at least 5.5% to equal the
yield of a tax-free muni paying
4%. Even if you've determined
that a tax-free muni's yifetcl
compares favorably to that of'a
taxable bond, you need to assess
some of the potential risks of
owning munis. For one thing,
municipalities are clearly ndj
exempt from the effects of the
long and harsh recession weQye
experienced. Consequently, some
projects funded by munis may
have trouble generating the
revenue needed to repay the bonds'
investors. Another potential is&ue
to consider with munis is tlg»ir
liquidity. Some states, suchNas
New York and California, issue a
great many bonds, which ,are
traded regularly. But some
municipalities operate in more
illiquid markets, so if you buy a
muni from one of these issuers,
you may need to hold it until it
matures. Also, munis are traded
"over the counter" rather than oh
an exchange, so it can sometimes
be difficult to get a price quotefor
your bond, not to mention a buyier.
These liquidity issues may rfot
matter to you, however, if you
intend to hold your bond until
maturity, collecting regular
interest payments along the way
and eventually receiving ypur
principal back. There is also credit
risk when investing in bonds,
where if the issuer defaults y^u
could potentially lose all of yquf
principal. In any case, as long a§
you've done your research and
gotten help from a qualified
financial professional, you may
find that municipal bonds can
benefit you - so give them sprite
thought., "
