BAGHDAD, Jan. 4 -- Insurgents on Tuesday assassinated the governor of Baghdad, the most senior official killed in Iraq since political authority was transferred to an interim government last summer.
Insurgents also killed four U.S. soldiers and a Marine in three separate attacks, eight Iraqi commandos and two others in a suicide bombing at a commando base in Baghdad, and three Iraqi troops in a roadside bombing northeast of the capital.
Total number of U.S. military deaths in the Iraq war as announced by the Pentagon yesterday:
In hostile actions: 1,049
In non-hostile actions: 286
Total fatalities include three civilian employees of the Defense Department.
A full list of casualties is available online at www.washingtonpost.com/nation
SOURCE: Defense Department's www.defenselink.mil/newsThe Washington Post
"The war's worse, the insurgency's worse," said a senior U.S. Embassy official in Baghdad, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to talk candidly. "This is not going to be a short fight. Nobody should think it is."
The assessment reflected a new willingness among senior Iraqi and American officials to acknowledge that large tracts of the country remain beyond the control of their combined forces. More than three months ago, interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi asserted during a visit to Washington that 15 of Iraq's 18 provinces were stable and largely peaceful. Now, in interviews, he routinely refers to the situation as "our catastrophe."
Iraq's Shiite Muslim-populated south and sections of the north populated by ethnic Kurds are stable and relatively secure. Their inhabitants are looking forward to elections scheduled for Jan. 30 that will give them significant power in Baghdad after decades of repression.
But daily spasms of violence persist in Iraq's midsection. Iraqi and U.S. officials acknowledge that attacks have become routine in the six central and northern provinces where Sunni Muslims -- the once-dominant minority whose power evaporated with the fall of Saddam Hussein -- reside in large numbers. Including Baghdad, the six provinces account for half of Iraq's territory and at least half of its 25 million people.
Iraq's interim president, Ghazi Yawar, told the Reuters news agency Tuesday that the United Nations should "stand up for their responsibilities and obligations" by assessing whether the election can be conducted on schedule. "On a logical basis, there are signs that it will be a tough call to hold the election," Yawar said in a rare departure from official assurances that the date of the vote remains firm.
Instability remains worst north and west of the capital, in the region known as the Sunni Triangle. A Marine was killed Tuesday in Anbar province, west of Baghdad, and a roadside bomb killed a soldier with the Army's 1st Infantry Division near Balad, 50 miles north of Baghdad.
Also in Baghdad, a massive roadside bomb killed three American soldiers and wounded two at 11 a.m., the military said. Names were withheld until families of the dead could be notified.
In far northern Nineveh province, where, as in Anbar, lack of security forced cancellation of voter registration last month, U.S. commanders this week doubled the force struggling to control Mosul. Officials, including Allawi, have hinted that an offensive on Iraq's third largest city is in the offing.
"We're going to do better in Mosul," one Western diplomat said.
At the same time, armored battalions of the 1st Cavalry Division last week rolled into the grimy towns south of Baghdad in an area of north Babil province that last year became so dangerous to travelers that Iraqis began to call it the "triangle of death."
New flash points glimmer on the horizon.
Richard L. Armitage, the deputy secretary of state, in recent days joined a variety of U.S. officials scrambling to dissuade Kurdish parties from sitting out the portion of the election that will seat a provincial council in Kirkuk, the oil-rich city claimed by Kurds, ethnic Turkmens and Arabs. On Tuesday, U.S. and Iraqi officials were attempting to hold together a compromise slate of candidates that would delay a showdown for the northern city by preserving a provisional status quo put in place by the U.S.-led occupation authority.

While a math degree may not seem like a path to wealth at first glance, the many fields are based almost entirely on a math foundation. For instance, both physics as well as engineering make use of algebraic formulas to determine motion and forces on objects, and the stress on materials. In business, financial accounting and stock investing count on the mathematical principle compound interest over time. Math classes may be refocused toward practical applications, such as numerical analytics of big data online or statistical interpretation of scientific research results.Further, financial engineers or 'quants' may be called upon to prepare math-based reports for financial management, in order to develop high-speed, stock investment algorithms.
Finally, there is a lot of mathematical calculation behind complex decisions such as whether a business should raise money by issuing stock directly to the public as in the case of Google, or seek long-term loan financing? Both decisions involve quantification of risk and substantial probability analysis. A discount rate is used to determine the present value of the expected returns, and if a business anticipates being highly profitable in the short-term, it may be wiser to take out a bank loan, rather than dilute ownership via exanding the number of shares outstanding. Beyond major requirements within the mathematics department, you may consider McMaster University optics lab as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Win7 Hard Freezing randomly, no BSOD
***EDIT: Jump to post 13 for an updated continuation***
I'm in a tough situation since my fathers computer which I built about 5.5 years ago is having issues but he lives 6 hours away so I cant easily troubleshoot it and he is only capable of so much. I'm ideally trying to narrow down the potential issues and help decide if I should just work on a complete rebuild (and know what can be reused) or give him additional simple things to try and fix it for now.
Going from memory, the computer consists of:
MoBo: MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum
CPU: AMD Athlon 64x2 3000+
Cooler: ASUS Silent Knight II
GPU: NVidia GTX (750 or 750 Ti?) - Put in 1 year ago
Ram: 4Gb Kingston HyperX (DRR2?) -2x2Gb
PSU: Rocketfish (700W?) - Original failed, got for free from a friend
HDD: 1TB 7200RPM (Samsung?) - Used to be the secondary drive for storage until my Velociraptor 10K
RPM died so that's when I put Win7 on the 1TB and only have that drive used.
It originally had 32bit XP, but about 4 months ago I put Win7 Pro 32Bit on since XP is no longer supported.
So it has a rather new clean install with minimal programs.
Basically all of a sudden the computer went from working fine to freezing randomly anywhere from 2 to 15 minutes after starting. Its always been a hard freeze with no BSOD or error messages, cant have the Num-Lock light change or anything. It is not limited to any certain programs running before it freezes.
-I was able to get him to run an Avast scan in safe mode and it found nothing.
-We tried the Win7 Memory Diagnostic and it sounds like it made 2 successful passes with no errors, but when it went to reboot and show the final results again, the computer froze at the windows logo (the only time i believe it has frozen without logging in) and we never tried it again to see if it matters.
-He opened one side of the case and blew out any basic dust inside and the fans, but didn't reseat any components or get a full cleaning.
-It doesn't seem to matter if in safe mode or normal, it still freezes randomly. (Nothing open, checking email, surfing the web, etc)
-All drivers should be up to date or within a few months other than the BIOS is probably near original.
-Win7 updates should have all been installed up to date.
-We were able to get a system restore to go through from about 2 weeks prior to be sure it was a time things worked fine. (It took 2-3 attempts before it sucessfully did the restore.)
I'm looking for help in narrowing down potential ways to fix it, as well as confidence that certain components wouldn't be an issue currently in case i want to reuse them.
1) Should we rerun the Win7 Memory Diagnostic until it goes perfectly and shows the final results?
2) Is there any chance components weren't able to use Win7 and failed in that short time? (I assumed if they weren't compatible it just wouldn't have worked on Win7 from day 1)
3) Should i try and run Malwarebytes (MBAM) in safe mode? (Again its a pretty fresh install and minimally used so I dont see that being a problem.)
4) Is there any chance the Hard Drive is bad or needs a disk check? (That's a component I'd like to know is safe to reuse if I do a rebuild.)
5) Is there any way to see if its a heat issue? I'm not sure if the board has any temperature sensors. Should we run things while the case open for more air flow?
6) Anything point to the GPU being an issue? (Another component I'd like to reuse if doing a fresh build)
7) Is the memory diagnostic enough to clear the RAM as being ok or could it still be an issue and needs to be tried with 1 stick at a time or different sockets etc?
8) Any drivers to force check for updates or could the BIOS and Win7 not have worked well together?
9) Could it be an inconsistent power issue or anything with the PSU? (Another component I'd reuse if its for sure safe.)
10) What else to check/try/scan/etc or what additional info do you need?
Thanks in advance.

Windows 10 Pro X64
Sounds like a heat problem to me. Install Speedfan and monitor the temps, see if they got high when the freeze occurs.
Have your dad shutdown the computer and remove the power plug. Open the case and clean it out with a soft brush and a can of compressed air. Check the vents in the power supply, inside and out and all fans to make sure they turn freely and are not clogged with dirt and dust.
With the side of the case off, plug in the power cord and power up the computer and see if the fans are turning: power supply, CPU, case, video card.
If temps are high, may have to remove the CPU heatsink and clean then reapply a good thermal paste, ditto if there is a plug in video card (PCI/PCI-E/AGP).
|My System Specs
|14 Jul 2014
I will have him try the temperature monitoring tonight, im pretty sure he did a thorough blow out of all fans but will revisit that as well. It sounds like he did try to run the system with the side door open to allow a little more airflow and didnt really get a different result. So in my opinion the only possible heat related issue would be like you mentioned with the heatsink. Is it common for the thermal paste to dry up or go bad over time if nothing was ever changed or the parts seperated?
Is anyone able to comment briefly on a few of my initial questions regarding if things like the HDD, GPU, etc are most likely not an issue and safe to both rule out as well as reuse if I go with a new build?
Other than heat, what are the next most likely issues? I still have a feeling its memory related and curious if the memory diagnostic would include a way to test if the socket itself went bad or could cause this? I think i recall having an issue a long time ago where i ended up putting the 2 RAM sticks in the secondary slot configuration (3&4 instead of 1&2) because it seemed to have lock ups or something and troubleshooting lead me to the ram sockets back then. Maybe the board now has 3 or all 4 sockets failing?
|My System Specs
|14 Jul 2014
You questions of what can it be. Well it can be any or some of the things you mentioned.
Windows 7 built in memory test is not very good in my opinion.
Because you have stated that you had memory problems before
I suggest using this tutorial using MemTest86+.
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Normally when memory goes bad it will give a BSOD but no always.
Watching temps closely as Ztruker has posted is very important. You must be sure their is no over heating problem. Over heating will kill a computer.
Yes the compound on the cpu can break down over time. 5 years is a long time for compound. I never let mine go over a year but I'm paranoid.
A Rocketfish (700W?) power supply was questionable when it was new.
It's very difficult troubleshooting a computer problem over the internet and very difficult when their is a 3 way troubleshoot project.
We shall try.
Most of the things you are in question of when going bad will cause a BSOD in most cases except the power supply.
If you are having BSOD problems we do have some very good people that work with BSOD problems.
|My System Specs
|14 Jul 2014
Thanks for the reply, I do know that so far there has never been a BSOD issue, not sure if that makes it easier or harder to troubleshoot, but at least its limited to one problem of a full system freeze.
If it is a heat related shut down would that be logged in the event viewer or whatever its called?
Or perhaps its worth checking regardless of the issue.
I agree on the PSU, i'd never buy one of those myself, but it was free and worked perfect from day one a few years ago so I never cared to replace it for him. If you are suggesting there is a chance it could be the PSU that is causing the issue, I will consider a replacement if I go with the rebuild option.
I will look into memtest86, i've heard of it plenty of times, but never used it myself so I will have to read up enough to be able to explain it to my father over the phone if we get to running it.
As far the original Speedfan suggestion, that will have to wait until tomorrow and I will report back on it then.
Lastly in regards to thermal paste degradation over time is that something you suggest I replace on my personal PC if I haven't changed it since built almost 2 years ago? (I7-3770k with an H100 on a Sabertooth Z77 MoBo if it matters)
|My System Specs
|14 Jul 2014
I really don't know if their is any place you can find the longevity of any thermal past.
I just change it to make sure and it's easy to do and it's cheap.
Here is a good site to take a look at.
Arctic Silver, Inc. - Intel® Application Methods
|My System Specs
|18 Jul 2014
Haven't been able to update yet as it looks like he is having a hard time with it booting at all lately, possibly messed up the OS since I think it froze during one of those "don't turn off your PC" shutdowns while installing a few updates.
I'm going to see if he can try 1 stick of RAM at a time and possibly it on long enough to test the CPU temperature.
Or perhaps the PSU is indeed failing.
I've started to look into fresh build options and am trying to decide what I want to run. Possibly do a complete AM1 build or find a low budget i3 or similar build to keep it on an ATX size board to use in that case, but that was mostly relying on the fact I wouldn't need a PSU so it'd be good to see if its working alright.
|My System Specs
|19 Jul 2014
Let us know what you decide to do.
Because you are not at the computer it would be very difficult to explain through a 3 way how to use the Windows 7 DVD and do repairs.
Are you with the computer at this time or are you still 6 hours away?
|My System Specs
|19 Jul 2014
Yes I am still 6 hours away, we planned to meet up in late august anyway so I'm thinking I'll just try a few more things to see if we can get that one going for short spurts every now and then to check email, but then ill have a rebuild planned for when we meet up. I've done windows repair a few times with XP just never Win7 so if a repair is needed then Im sure I can figure it out from an online guide so I can see the screen shots and explain to him. Hopefully he can get it started for a few minutes to at least know it isn't an OS issue and still somewhere in the hardware. Then ill just decide what all I want to attempt to reuse vs. just buying new to be sure. A good example would be the PSU, for $40 on sale I can probably find a good enough one that is plenty of power for a basic build.
|My System Specs
|20 Jul 2014
Alright it looks like he was able to get the PC to run for about 15 minutes this time which is one of the longer runs since the issue. He did take out one stick of RAM which may or may not have made a difference as he didnt try multiple setups with them.
He was also able to get speedfan installed and running and I am unsure which sensor is for what, but obviously 2 of them are pretty high, maybe one or both are general case temp? Is core the cpu, because that seems pretty low. Basically just seeing if we can rule out the CPU as overheating or not.

Almost all parts of the two main islands of the Philippine archipelago, Visayas and Mindanao, have been experiencing light and moderate rain to heavy thunderstorms these days. Flash floods and landslides are often to occur in most hilly areas while the danger of storm surges are apparent in the coastal regions. Going out can be very dangerous especially when heavy torrents of rain pour down outside.
At times like this, people would usually stay in their homes. Indeed, this is the perfect time when we would indulge a steamy cup of brewed coffee and read our favorite novels. The calming effect brought about by the soothing sound of rain never fails to free us from stress.
In addition, a supplemental session of playing your favorite instrument with your very own korg keyboard on a rainy day like this one could not be any more perfect. Maybe rainy days are not a total bummer after all. Keep safe this rainy season!

Price: $3.99
Earl and his lovely wife Bonnie were really just an average couple, except maybe a little better-looking than most. They were both successful and seemed to enjoy happy, healthy lives-just like any other normal couple. There was one slight difference, though-one very tiny difference that separated them from the vast majority of other couples. Since joining the club, their marriage has become even stronger, too, because now they are free to explore and receive satisfaction from everyone they meet. They have, with the help of other couples they've met, been able to expand their activity into a whole new range of sexual stimulation. Maybe it is time for more couples to realize the pleasures that they may be missing, and that Earl and Bonnie have discovered!

- Yes, it was like this after the tummy tuck. Actually it was worse, you just don't remember.
- Yes, you are and will be swollen and none of our clothes will fit for awhile. It is NOT FAT but it will be if you keep eating the way you do.
- No, sucking down a calorie laden milkshake did't make you feel better.
- No, baking a cake (albeit 'healthier') and scoffing down 3 pieces didn't make you feel better.
- No, sneaking those 2 slices of cheese while making the toddlers lunch for tomorrow didn't make you feel better and they DID count even though nobody saw it.
Just remember….
You will be able to workout soon. I know you miss running and lifting but you can start small again like taking a walk tomorrow.
Go back to basics. Start a fresh week tomorrow and journal. Count points like you used to. When in doubt find comfort in your ability to adapt, learn and grow even if it means going backwards for a bit. Do NOT find comfort in food.
P.S. You started the day off great, what went wrong?

Access to Care Fellowship
Dr. Oliver Lindhiem Awarded Access to Care Fellowship Grant
from Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation
The Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation has selected Dr. Oliver Lindhiem, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, as the recipient of its Access to Care fellowship award. Dr. Lindhiem was chosen from a highly competitive cohort of candidates. The fellowship program supports research intended to produce a direct and tangible benefit to children and their families in the areas of child and adolescent ADHD, child and adolescent depression, and access to care.
The two-year fellowship grant will support Dr. Lindhiem's project "Improving Access to Care via mHealth Technology." Although evidence-based treatments have been developed for childhood disruptive behavior problems, many families do not have access to these services. Barriers to access may include local availability of services, transportation, cost, and perceived stigma.
With support from the award, Dr. Lindhiem will conduct a pilot randomized-controlled trial comparing the effects of the UseIt! (Understanding Skill-use to Enhance the Impact of Treatment) mHealth system to a waitlist control condition. The UseIt! mHealth system, originally developed to supplement therapy, will be tested as a standalone intervention to promote the use of parent management training (PMT) skills and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) skills. The UseIt! system consists of parent and child smartphone apps that include both content and features to promote and measure the use of specific PMT skills and CBT skills. The outcome assessment will include measures of skill acquisition, skill utilization, symptom reduction, and satisfaction. Dr. Lindhiem plans to use the results from this pilot to prepare a grant application for a full-scale randomized clinical trial of the intervention.

Tai Ping Life Insurance, 50.05 per cent controlled by CIIH, will issue 1.4 billion to 1.6 billion yuan worth of subordinated bonds in exchange for funds while Tai Ping Insurance, CIIH's non-life unit, will issue 400 million to 600 million yuan in subordinated bonds.
The capital raising would be sufficient to fund business expansion for the next 1? years, said CIIH executive director and chief executive Kenneth Ng.
He said the recent interest rate cuts by the mainland's central bank would not affect the company's asset allocation strategy but overall investment returns would come under pressure.
The company had maintained an investment return of more than 4 per cent, well above the regulatory minimum of 2.5 per cent, he added.
Meanwhile, Swiss Reinsurance said mainland non-life insurers may benefit from Beijing's 4 trillion yuan stimulus package because of demand for general insurance protection from various infrastructure projects.
'Construction projects such as airports and railways will generate additional business opportunities,' said Clarence Wong, Swiss Re's chief economist in Asia.

SANDSTON, VA -- Some 30 members of the Virginia Automatic Merchandising Association gathered in Sandston, VA, on Oct. 28 to get a legislative update from VAMA lobbyist Jeff Smith. He explained how Virginia legislators are rated in terms of their pro-business positions on legislation and how these rankings are instrumental in VAMA's determination of the best use of PAC fund donations.
The lobbyist warned members that the current rate of unemployment in Virginia has placed an extraordinary strain on the available unemployment funds. Many Virginians are exhausting their eligibility but are still without employment, and Virginia is one of 22 states that have borrowed from the federal government to keep unemployment checks in the mail. Smith said that states will have until 2011 to start paying interest on their unemployment trust fund loans, and cautioned operators that doing so will be a stretch for most states unless they raise taxes on employers or decrease benefits to workers.
On a positive note, Smith pointed out that vendors continue to benefit from a sales tax based on wholesale, rather than retail, pricing. He informed members that the industry has kept a low profile on other food tax issues in the interest of maintaining the current sales tax structure for vended items.
VAMA's lobbyist said he is closely watching a proposed federal tax on sugar-sweetened soft drinks that aims to fund healthcare reform and combat obesity. A coalition of public health officials and advocacy groups is calling for the tax to be levied at a rate of 1¢ per fluid ounce.

St. Charles,
Keith Raymond Sackett, 73, of St. Charles died peacefully at Chosen Valley Care Center, Sunday May 7th, following a two month battle with a malignant brain tumor.
He was born April 6, 1944 at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester to Layton and Catherine (Palmby) Sackett. Keith lived in St. Charles his entire life, graduating from St. Charles High School in 1963. He worked for Greenway Co-op, Dick Mathison and Mayo Clinic as a custodian, retiring in 2010. In 1986 Keith married Joyce Haines. They loved to go to ball games, camping, making s'mores around the camp fire and vacationing in northern Minnesota. He loved sports, playing baseball in his youth and coached American Legion Baseball for 14 years. He also loved to watch the Twins and Vikings. Keith and Joyce enjoyed feeding the birds and providing a loving home to their four dogs. Keith belonged to St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church and the St. Charles Moose Lodge.
He leaves behind two step-sons, Jim (Laurie) Borowick of Plymouth and their four sons, Andrew, Paul, Jonah and Nathan; Paul (Sharon) Borowick of Eau Claire and their children, Kevin and Jessica, two brothers, James Sackett of Sun City West, AZ and Kenneth (Marilyn) Sackett of Arlington Heights, IL and a sister Kathleen (Ben) Ellsworth of Rochester, many nieces and nephews as well as several special friends who really showed their love during his illness. Keith is preceded in death by his wife Joyce, parents, a sister-in-law, Phyllis Sackett, a nephew Derek Sackett and a niece Sonia Ellsworth. A special thank you to the wonderful care at St. Mary's Hospital, Chosen Valley Care Center and Mayo Clinic Hospice.
A Funeral Mass will be 11 a.m. Friday at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church with the Reverend Kurt Farrell officiating. Burial will follow in Hillside Cemetery. Friends may call one hour before services at the church. Please share a memory of Keith at his online guestbook and view his video tribute when it becomes available at www.hofffuneral.com.
In lieu of flowers and plants, memorials are suggested to St. Charles Moose Lodge, 166 West 11th Street, St. Charles, MN 55972 for a high school scholarship for college in Keith's honor.

OUR CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY. Always tried to see Keith when able to get back home he always seemed to have a good outlook on life. Will be missed. James Barry
Keith was a very special, life-long friend who was kind, loyal, and easy-going. As kids we spent countless hours together, had more fun and created more mischief than anyone could imagine. From "special haircuts" to sledding on Ridge Road, we always had the best time. Playing baseball together throughout the years with Coach Robinson was definitely a great memory. I always enjoyed catching up with Keith and Joyce at all of the SCHS reunions. He never lost that great smile and hearty laugh through all the years of storytelling. I will certainly miss such a big-hearted and gentle friend, but I am glad to know that he is happily reunited with his beloved Joyce and dear friend Karen Griffin. My condolences to the entire Sackett family.

Keith and Ellsworth's, Labor Day 2016
Keith, Labor Day 2016
i remember when i was playing American legion baseball Coach Sackett made playing the game so much fun you couldn't wait to get to practice or to a game. he liked to kid around with us players until game time then he got serious.He loved to coach and to be apart of the kids lives that he coached he will be missed but not forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sackett Family Brad Ihrke
I am so sorry to hear of Keith's illness and death. Keith was a friend and a neighbor - lived right across the street from my house. We grew up playing ball over the telephone wires in the street, running through the neighborhood playing games, trying to navigate those awkward early teen years, and cheering one another on through thick and thin. Keith was a kind, good person; always ready for a laugh and a prank. He will be missed. Marie (Bergh) Lyons
Kieth and my Dad, Frank Koch, were great sports buddies and Kieth was a dear friend to my cousin Karen Gordon Griffin. They will have a great time being reunited in Heaven. I knew Keith all my life as a classmate of Karen's and a guy who hung out at Dad's store joking and talking sports and watching him playing and coaching Legion baseball. My sincere sympathy to the family.
Keith was always laughing about something. May his family find comfort in knowing that he will be missed. Please accept my condolences.
Keith was a good friend--we spent many hours playing baseball-hitchhiking to whitewater or just getting into mischief at the Catholic school. We used to build go carts in the top of Layton and Kathleen's old garage and then race them down hills around St. Charles. Even though we have not kept in close contact over the years, I will miss him. My sympathy go out to the Sackett family.

|Social Fundraising Campaign: LIP/Follicular Bronchiolitis
Money Raised: $0.00 Campaign Goal: $25,000.00
Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP) is occurs when certain immune cells (lymphocytes and plasma cells) accumulate in the interstitiium. The tissue is usually a really thin layer between the respiratory surface and the blood vessels. When this tissue thickens with the cells, it makes it harder for oxygen and carbon dioxide to cross between the blood and the air.
The airways that carry air into the lungs are called bronchioles. Sometimes lymphoid cells create a follical in the bronchiole and can be associated with inflammation and on-going infection, which is known as Follicular Bronchiolitis.
While these are different disorders, they can occur together in some patients. Scientists do not really understand why these cells accumulate in the airways, but both of these conditions are often assocaited with immune disorders. We need your help to find out more about this devastating disease!
Disclaimer: Any funds donated in support of a patient or their family cannot be used to fund direct medical costs or be given to the family to cover medical or other expenses. Instead, it will be used to support the efforts in that patient's diagnosis to benefit all children that share that diagnosis. For every dollar that is donated here, 70% will go directly to LIP/Follicular Brochiolitis programming. The remaining portion will go into the general fund to be used where it is most needed.

If you have enough property and want to power your home, small business or community with wind energy, here is your best place to learn how.
Visit the Canadian Wind Energy Association's helpful site at: www.smallwindenergy.ca
Below is some of the basics they offer for creating your wind energy:
Small wind is great if…
1) You have at least 1/2 acre of property with good wind
2) Your local zoning allows a wind turbine to be installed
3) You have consulted with your neighbours
4) You want clean renewable energy "behind your meter" or some independence from the grid.
A renewable energy system can be expensive to buy, but you can start small and upgrade your equipment at a later date. You should be aware that installation of a small wind turbine can require considerable planning from a technical, financial, legal, social, and environmental perspective.
If you're already familiar with the basics of small wind and are considering your own turbine, you can follow CanWEA's three stage process for building your site.
Good Luck!

The Credentials Committee Preliminary Report was provided by Vice Chair Allen Salo. It was determined a Quorum was Present to conduct the convention.
The Rules Committee Report was provided by Chair Larry Feingold and the Standing Rules of the Convention were adopted.
President Whalen called for Adoption of the Convention Agenda and the motion was made by Mary Ellen Schoolmaster, properly seconded and adopted by delegates.
President Whalen called for Adoption of Change to the Program/Agenda and the motion was made by Mary Ellen Schoolmaster, properly seconded and adopted..
President Whalen called for Approval of the Published Minutes of the previous FL Federation Convention. Secretary Henderson made a motion that, since this information had been provided previously to delegates, these minutes should be approved. The motion was properly seconded and then adopted.

The afternoon Business Agenda of the Convention was called to order at 2:35 by President Whalen.

Dr. Christopher B. Eckman, the featured speaker about Alzheimer's was introduced and had the floor for the next 45 minutes with commentary and answers to questions from delegates.
President Whalen called for Committee Reports. These were initiated when Chairman Harold Bartelt of the Constitution and Bylaws Committee made recommendations for convention action:
FB-001, Federation Constitution and Bylaws Revision, made by the Executive Board. Committee recommended ADOPT, with several minor changes:
Article 4 – keep the phrase "Junior Living Past President" instead of changing the term to "Immediate Past President". A motion was made and properly seconded and delegates agreed to keep the phrase "Junior Living Past President".
Article 6 Section 3 para a – change the word "confirmation" to "concurrence". A motion was moved and properly seconded and delegates made the change to the word "concurrence".
Article 10 Section 6 column 3 – insert the phrase "except the office of Florida District Vice Presidents in caucus voting", which had not been duplicated in the document. Only a syntax correction. After the motion was moved and properly seconded, delegates agreed to the wording.
FB-002 Chapter 0058, FB-003 Chapter 2247, FB-004 2279, all dealing with the FL Federation having Biennial Conventions. Committee recommended NON-ADOPT. After the motion was made and properly seconded, there was an amendment made and properly seconded to have the biennial convention (if the original motion passed) in the same year as the biennial National Convention. When the question of biennial conventions was called and the oral vote was taken, it was too close to call: President Whalen called for a Roll Call vote. Of the 858 votes counted, there were 509 yea votes and 349 nay votes to change to biennial conventions. However, the resolution was NOT passed, as it needed 570 yea votes to get the 2/3 votes required. Therefore, we will continue to hold annual conventions.
Because of time limitations and a Federation Bylaw which requires the Nominating Committee to make its report, prior to the caucuses of chapters to vote for DVPs, the C&BL Committee report was suspended until the next business day.
Nominating Committee Chair Dee Flynn provided the delegates with the names of the five nominees for elected office – President Whalen, 1st VP Pappa, 2nd VP Stewart, Secretary Henderson, and Treasurer Carter – who had been interviewed. Chairman Flynn indicated that all meet elected officer requirements and should get chapter delegate support to continue in these offices. By acclimation, this occurred.
Other committee reports – General Resolutions, Credentials Committee , and Time, Place and Site – were held in abeyance until the next business session.
At 4:40, District Caucuses were held to confirm or elect DVPs for the upcoming year and the first business day of the convention was concluded. The second convention banquet was held on Wednesday evening.
Thursday, 20 May 2004
President Whalen called the meeting to order at 9:05. Invocation and Pledge of Allegiance were accomplished. The Credentials Committee Interim Report was provided by Vice Chair Allen Salo.
Ballot & Tellers Committee Chair Donald Zebold reported about elections held in the eleven districts: those re-elected included DVP 1 Charles Gardner, DVP III Ruth Blackwell, DVP IV Sharon Sharp, DVP VI Herbert Sicular, DVP VII Mickey Rosenthal, DVP IX Richard Gerber, and DVP X Lucette Chizik. Newly elected individuals are DVP II Harold Bartelt, DVP V Robert Snodgrass, DVP VIII Wallace Roepke, and DVP XI Alice Hart.
NARFE-PAC Committee Chair Don Wasson provided a report about the $23,482.00 contributed by the members of the FL Federation. He indicated that some of these funds were distributed to Representative Mark Foley of the House Ways and Means Committee. There were large increases in funds provided by FL members.
FEEA Committee Chair Larry Feingold spoke about the scholarship funds and the assistance provided to victims of natural disasters by this fund. $60,000.00 is available for scholarships so that six $1,000.00 scholarships may be distributed in each of the ten national regions of NARFE.
President Whalen introduced Beth O'Brien, of LTC Partners. As the Long Term Care Speaker, Ms. O'Brien expressed her company's credo that we all NEED Long Term Care Insurance.
A Recess was taken between 10:10 and 10:25.
Continuing with recommendations, which had been interrupted because of time in the previous business meeting, C&BL Committee Chair Harold Bartelt continued to provide committee recommendations.
FB-005 Chapter 1137, recruitment funds. Committee recommends NON-ADOPT. The bylaw change recommends that 30% of monies of the FL Federation should be used for recruitment and retention. The resolution was moved and properly seconded and, following some pro and con discussion, the resolution did NOT pass.
FB-006 Chapter 1322, reports. Committee recommends ADOPT. The bylaw change would provide that end-of-year reporting by chapters should be as of the end of December. After the motion was made and properly seconded, delegates adopted the change.
FB-007 Chapter 1322, reports. Committee recommends ADOPT. DVPs now send quarterly membership reports; the resolution calls for semi-annual reports of membership in April and October and reports due to the 1st VP (Membership) in May and November. After some discussion and fine tuning, the motion was adopted so "FL Federation District VPs will turn in semi-annual reports to 1st VP (Membership), instead of submitting quarterly reports. After the motion was made, and properly seconded, delegates adopted the change.
General Resolutions Committee Chair Darrell Chinn led these discussions about NATIONAL Resolutions:
NG-001 Chapter 0160, NG-002 Chapter 1589, and NG-003 Chapter 1104 all deal with Off-Budget Resolutions. NG-002 was used as an example and, in essence, it recommends "exclude CSRF from the Federal Budget". Committee recommends ADOPT. Motion was made, properly seconded and delegates adopted these resolutions.
NG-004 Chapter 1589, NG-005 Chapter 2279, NG-006 Chapter 0160, and NG-007 Chapter 1104 all deal with protecting provisions of the FEHBP. The wording says "protect all aspects of FEHB Plan to protect federal annuitants and spouses. Do not change provisions of the FEHBP." Committee recommends ADOPT.

Welcome to J6M! Home of CrossRoads Middle School Ministry!
J6 is a student led, student fed community of hope, mercy, & love. We don't feel called to go to church, but to be the church so rather than another spectator sport mentality, we try to generate experiences. Experiences that will not fade as time passes, but only grow stronger. J6M is for students 6th-8th grade.
Family Groups are at the very core of the discipleship strategy for J6 and are a part of every Wednesday Night Happening. Our hope is that these small groups would become a second family for them. A place where they can discuss, pray, worship, and do life together. Family Groups are divided by grade and gender to provide the best environment for students to learn and grow.
JumpStart is our Sunday Morning discipleship time for 6th-9th Graders. We'll meet in The Worship Center at 11:00 am every Sunday for times of worship and then head out for bible study, great conversation, and as always, FUN! JumpStart is an AWESOME time for our younger teens to get together, dig into scripture, and start developing they're own lives as Christ followers. We always encourage questions, and seek honest answers together in a very relaxed setting that allows students to feel comfortable yet engaged.
Wednesday Night Happening (WNH) is our usual meeting time for J6. Every Wednesday night J6 meets 6:30-8:00 in the Worship Center. We come together for some fun, some hanging out, bible study, times of prayer and worship, and being a family. We always provide a safe, comfortable environment where questions are encouraged and truth is sought out.

If I depart from Carnatic music for the length of this column, it's only because Treme so compels me to. Over the last fortnight, I've been watching the inaugural episodes of this marvellous new HBO series, set in a New Orleans still dizzy from being buffeted by Hurricane Katrina. The streets and houses appear as comprehensively ravaged as the souls of Treme's characters, a motley group of New Orleanians who attempt to replant their roots and return to their lives. This process is the central force of Treme. It's no coincidence that the pilot opens with a "second line"—a parade accumulating clots of dancing, singing residents as it moves—led by a New Orleans institution named the Rebirth Brass Band.
It would have been such a cliché to include snatches of jazz in a New Orleans show that the creators of Treme cannily push their gears into extreme overdrive. Treme is saturated with music; indeed, many of its characters can think of little else. A radio jockey, addicted to his city's heritage, blasts the music of New Orleans rapper Mystikal out of his windows, at his newly gentrifying neighbourhood. A trombonist refers to his instrument (the musical one) even in the throes of copulation. A trio of buskers—including Lucia Micarelli, a violinist of heart-melting talent—scoffs privately at tourists' requests. A father rebuilds his group of carnival revellers, with their hypnotic Native American chants, before he rebuilds his house; his son can't stay to help, because he has to be in New York, playing trumpet in gigs. Musicians such as Elvis Costello, Dr John and Kermit Ruffins flit through, and every episode has a segment in a live-music club or a recording studio. At times, Treme feels like a series of music videos punctuated by sharp reminders of real life.
Jazzed-up: Wendell Pierce as the trombonist, Antoine Batiste. Paul Schiraldi/Bloomberg
Even better, all this music is curated lovingly and with great attention to detail. For amateur devotees of Dixie, jazz and blues, Treme functions as a fount of favourites but also of unfamiliar yet irresistible music. When the radio jockey nicked a box set of Dave Bartholomew from a defunct record store, or when a fiery New Orleans activist (played by John Goodman) unwound at home to a scratchy recording of the Boswell Sisters, I simply had to listen to more of their music once the episode ended (for the purposes of this column, let's say that I walked over to the closest music shop and, incredibly, found CDs of both Bartholomew and the Boswell Sisters in the capacious and diverse "Jazz" section. Kids, downloading music is injurious to health).
And boy, is it vivid! "When…Ruffins blows his horn in a bar," James Poniewozik wrote for Time magazine, "the scene feels so alive and hot and jostling that you half expect someone to spill his beer on you." This isn't token symbolism to show that the spirit of New Orleans will live on as long as its music lives on, or that joy returns with music; that would be lazy, and worse, it would be boring. This is music as a vital element of survival, like shelter or food—so vital that you don't give it a second thought until you've truly lost it and have to struggle to wrest it back into your life.

I'm gonna start this post by saying I know this is a short film and it probably shouldn't count towards my 365 films but I'm like 20 films behind at this point and I make the rules so deal with it. I love Spike Jonze, he's one of my favourite people, if I could have a career like anyone's it would be spike's. He's worked in photography, skateboarding, fashion and filmmaking, and generally just makes whatever he wants to make. Ever since I discovered his work I've been fascinated with him, like how has this guy turned all of my interests into a career and maintained respectability in every industry he's worked in? Unfortunately I don't have the answer to this so I will move on to the film.
From a glimpse I'm Here is a short film about love between two robots and nothing more, but when we actually look at it deeper there are a lot of themes in I'm Here that we see today in the real world. See the old lady shouting at the robots driving a car, telling them they shouldn't be doing that, or the police officer stepping over the badly wounded robot on the floor without offering to help, Jonze is trying to say although these robots have complex emotions and feelings they still get treated like second class citizens that don't deserve to be treated equally. Another thing we see is the relationship between Sheldon and Francesca. From the exterior it looks like two people who are madly in love and Sheldon will do anything from here, but if we look deeper again we can see that there is probably a darker story behind Francesca's injuries, they never happen on screen and she never gives sheldon a reason or explanation for these events. The way we can see that this is the case and not just speculation is by looking at the scene where sheldon and Francesca speak for the first time and she falls but is fine, but after she starts to date Sheldon she gets increasingly more wounded, I think Spike is trying to say that Francesca is ultimately self destructive and though Sheldon can't see it she's destructive for him because he will do anything for her, but that's just what I get from I'm Here.
I'm Here is a great short film that really solidifies Spike Jonze as one of my favourite filmmakers, a lot of elements we see in Her can be traced back to I'm Here, which is probably why Her is one of my favourite films. I'm Here is like a coin, if you look at it from one angle you'll see one story, but if you look at it from another you'll get the total opposite, this film is a 7/10.
In 2016 i will be watching 365 films (yes, i know there are 366 days this year) and writing about how I felt about them, I decided to do this just because over the last year or so i've Sort of pulled away from film and I wanna start to enjoy watching movies again. This will normally be just notes I made or thoughts I have about the film.
