After two days, I have blue screen of death (BSOD) with error 124. The error is repeated a few hours later and then starts to occur within a few minutes after startup.
I ran MemTest on the memory strips and then chkdisk on both drives. Zero defects.
It involves the ntoskrnl.exe / Hal.dll files
I switch the BIOS on IDE instead of AHCI (which was default), I reinstalled windows 7 and then the computer is stable for one month and then starts to crash again .
I am unable to reinstall windows 7 , it crashes during installation. The same blue screen occurs during installation .
I tried a minimal install: PSU / Motherboard / CPU / DVD burner / old strips of ram 4GB dating back to 2009 : The computer crashes in the installation of windows 7 even there is not a HDD connected.
I try to clear CMOS to restore the default settings of the BIOS , change the settings to no avail. I suspect the motherboard.
I change the motherboard for GIGABYTE GA- Z87X -D3H .
I change my PSU to a Seasonic P -860 Platinum .
I install a new DDR3 Kingston Hyper X Blu Series XMP 16G Red ( 2x8Go ) PC12800 1600MHz CL10 .
I keep the same processor

ATLANTA -- Different day, different dome -- but everything else was horribly familiar Sunday, as if the Atlanta Falcons had simply re-run the game film from last month's thrashing in St. Louis.
Same early exit by gimpy quarterback Chris Chandler. Same porous defense and ineffective running game. Same four-touchdown margin of defeat -- this time, a 41-13 beating that sent last year's NFC Super Bowl representatives reeling to a 1-5 start and grasping for answers.
''We are just not a disciplined football team right now and that is my responsibility,'' said a somber Falcons head coach Dan Reeves afterward. ''Having been such a good football team last year it's frustrating. We've just got to keep working at it.''
St. Louis, a surprise as the league's only undefeated team at 5-0, buried the Falcons with a balanced attack little resembling the one-sided, pass-happy offense that toasted Atlanta 35-7 in Week 2.
Marshall Faulk pounded past overmatched tacklers for 181 rushing yards, while the entire Falcons team managed just 41. Meanwhile, journeyman-turned-phenom Kurt Warner, a refugee from the Arena and World leagues, threw for just 111 yards but made them count.
The Falcons actually outgained the Rams, 316 yards to 283, but self-destructed repeatedly on turnovers and on 10 costly penalties that accounted for 88 yards.
Perhaps fortunately, the carnage was witnessed by a crowd much smaller than the 51,973 who actually paid -- thanks to disappointment over the team's start plus competition from the Atlanta Braves' afternoon playoff game against the New York Mets.
Behind the scrambling Warner and the unstoppable Faulk, St. Louis marched 76 yards on 10 plays in the game's opening drive against only token resistance. Isaac Bruce's 4-yard touchdown grab gave St. Louis a 7-0 lead and, from there, it was off to the races.

'This is going to show teams that we have coming up that Kurt doesn't have to throw for four touchdowns for us to win... we have a lot more ways to score,'' said Faulk, who rushed for one touchdown.
Indeed, the Rams scored early and often and in just about every way possible, piling on a 91-yard interception return and a 101-yard kickoff return for good measure. It's hard to identify one cause when a team suffers such a complete breakdown, but two plays seemed to exemplify the Falcons' plight.
The one that haunted players most came on the Rams' second drive, with St. Louis buried on its own 37 and facing third-and-26. The Falcons sent just three men to the line and dropped back to defend the long pass, and Faulk ripped off a 30-yard run on a draw play straight up the middle to keep alive the Rams' second touchdown drive.
''That's reprehensible. I am really embarrassed,'' said Atlanta's Ray Buchanan, recalling the big gainer. ''That is a breakdown. All of us are knuckleheads.''
The other turning point came on the Falcons' most lively offensive series. His team trailing 21-7 late in the second quarter, Chandler fired off three straight completions to drive his team to the St. Louis 9. But on first-and-goal, linebacker Mike Jones burst through and tugged Chandler to the ground, sending his errant throw into the arms of defensive lineman Grant Wistrom, who went 91 yards for a score.

Pocahontas (1995)
Her Review:
Disney's 33rd animated feature, Pocahontas, is based on a real historic figure and a little bit of folklore. Pocahontas (Irene Bedard) is the daughter of a Native American tribe chief who lives in harmony with the land around her, but maybe a bit too much for her father. She is a bit of a wild child from his perspective because she doesn't want to marry and take her rightful place in the tribe. But things are about to drastically change for not only Pocahontas but for the tribe. One day while out communing with nature Pocahontas spies a boat like she has never seen before carrying European settlers, one of whom is John Smith (Mel Gibson). Curious as ever Pocahontas can't stay clear, although its her father's explicit direction, and she encounters John. They develop a relationship that blossoms into a love that will save both John's life and the future of the tribe. Also starring the voices of Judy Kuhn, Linda Hunt, Russell Means, David Ogden Stiers, Christian BAle, John Kassir, Billy Connolly, Dany Mann.
Pocahontas is a beautiful film. The colors of the nature elements contrasted with the stark elements of the settlers steal and fortress is impressive. The element of the film that really makes it sing is literally the music. The songs composed for Pocahontas are powerful and catchy. No one wonder it won an Academy Award, Best Original Song, for Color of the Wind. My absolute favorite part of the movie is Grandmother Willow. She is wise, funny and very well animated…for a tree. Also Pocahontas's companions, Flit and Meeko would be loved by any kid watching because didn't we all have friends, imaginary or real, like that when we were young. Pocahontas is everything you would expect from a classically animated film.
10/10 Stars – "Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon"
His Review:
In 1995 I was 12-13 years old and having grown up with such films as Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and the Lion King, my parents planned to take my siblings and me to go see it. I had listened the crap out of the cassette tape so I knew all the songs and sang the whole way through the movie. I honestly think that Pocahontas is the first Disney film I saw in theaters that I actually remember sitting through. I may have remembered the Lion King, but it's all a blur now with how much I've seen it. If I were to rank my favorite animated Disney films, the ones that came out in the 90s would be atop that list, and in fact, Pocahontas made its way onto my Personal Top 100 list. By now, the only way kids will get to see Pocahontas is through their parents, and the kids raise on Pocahontas are now in their late 20s, so make sure and expose your kids to this Disney masterpiece!
10/10 Stars – 1 out of 3 Disney animated features that made it into my Top 100 list…

A committee looking for a new University of Georgia research vice president will re-open its search after the top candidate turned down the job. But the chairman of the committee said he still has hopes of getting a new veep in place by this summer.
''We are going to continue our search,'' said Svein Oie, dean of the UGA College of Pharmacy and chairman of the search committee. ''We are basically back again where we were last fall.''
Oie met with Karen Holbrook, UGA senior vice president for academic affairs and provost, last week about the search. On Friday Oie is scheduled to meet with the 17-member search committee.
''It means more work for us,'' Oie said, but he added that he is encouraged after talking with the professional search firm that is helping with the process.
''They have identified a number of candidates we were not aware of (in the first search),'' he said.
Depending on how quickly the committee can identify and interview a second pool of candidates, UGA may still find its next research vice president by this summer, he said.
The committee thought its work was done in November, after it winnowed through hundreds of names to select a slate of four finalists from which UGA President Michael Adams and Holbrook would choose.
In January, Holbrook offered the job to Tony Waldrop, vice chancellor for research at the University of Illinois, but Waldrop turned the job down.
At Friday's meeting, the committee will talk about several possible strategies to come up with a second list of names to forward to administrators, Oie said.
One possibility is taking a second look at candidates from the previous pool, ''particularly ones we did not invite'' in the first round, he said.
The committee can also accept applications from people who didn't make the first deadline. It can also get more names from the search firm, which has gathered more names as it conducts similar searches for other universities, he said. Oie will also ask committee members to nominate other persons who could be candidates.
When the new UGA vice president for research is hired, he or she will replace Joe Key, who stepped down Nov. 30 after 15 years in the job.
Gordhan Patel, dean of the UGA Graduate School, has been interim research vice president since then.
UGA administrators hoped to have a new research vice president in January.
UGA's community of research scientists is keeping an especially sharp eye on the search after 26 top UGA research scientists in June sent a letter to Adams, questioning his commitment to research and asking him to choose a strong leader to replace Key.

No, you aren't crazy if you smelled smoke Monday night and wondered if it was coming from Tennessee's wildfires.
The National Weather Service's Grand Rapids station, in a Facebook post Tuesday, noted a number of residents in the southern Lower Peninsula of Michigan reported smelling the smoke from the wildfires that have destroyed more than 150 homes and businesses in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, some 600 miles or more away.
Many Michigan residents described "smelling something like a camp- or trash fire with a hint of electrical or plastic odor," the National Weather Service stated.
"Computer models run in a 'backwards trajectory' mode confirm that air over Lower Michigan at 10 p.m. last night passed through the Smoky Mountains 12 hours earlier," the service's Grand Rapids station wrote in its Tuesday post.
A cold front passed through Lower Michigan early Tuesday morning, shifting the winds southwest and bringing in fresh air, the Weather Service stated.
More than 200 firefighters from across Tennessee remain on the way to help douse the wildfires, which threaten the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and country music star Dolly Parton's resort, Dollywood. The Tennessee Army National Guard plans to dump water onto the flames from a helicopter, with at least three Blackhawk helicopters standing by.
More than 14,000 residents have been displaced by the wildfires.
"This is a fire for the history books," Gatlinburg Fire Chief Greg Miller said at a morning news conference. "The likes of this has never been seen here. But the worst is definitely over with."
Staff writers from the Knoxville (TN) News-Sentinel contributed to this report.

[591] battle. Several hundred of this last marauding gang are now in the confederate prisons at Richmond. They are not chained up in a penitentiary for felons, not handed over to be dealt with by the outraged laws of Virginia. Why not? Perhaps this State government at Richmond is not the true government of Virginia; perhaps the true government is the one at Wheeling, or at Alexandria, or at Norfolk, and these raiders and robbers have committed no offence against that government or against the people of the real State of Virginia--that is, the "loyal" State. This is the theory at Washington; those in "rebellion" have no rights; and to do by those caitiffs as was done by Morgan, in Ohio, would not there be regarded. as the legitimate retaliation of belligerents, but as a new outrage by rebels; and, doubtless, if the wretches were hanged, an equal number of confederate officers of the highest rank they have got would swing; and our government knows it, and in its humanity and Christian charity submits. Again, two Yankee officers are solemnly designated by lot to be executed in retaliation for two of ours most foully murdered. But, in the eyes of our enemies, we have no rights of retaliation, nor any other rights, so they coolly inform us that if we do as we have threatened, they will not regard it as retaliation, but as a new crime, to be severely punished. They choose out two officers of rank--one a Brigadier-General--and inform us that their lives shall answer for the two whom we propose to execute. Well, this governmont, after months of hesitation, gives way, yields all, confesses that it has no rights, and lets the condemned men go. In other words, it accepts for us, and in our name, the position of rebels and malefactors. But "we are to consider," it seems, "not what wicked enemies may deserve, but what it becomes us, Christians and gentlemen, to inflict." O hypocrisy, and thou forty-parson-power which alone can sound its praise through thy forty noses! What cant is this? We wonder whether Mr. Davis is aware of what many honest people begin to mutter and murmur. They say, can this man be saving up for himself, in case of the worst, a sort of plea in mitigation of punishment? If the cause for which a hundred and fifty thousand of us have died, be borne down at last, is this Christian meekness of his intended to save his own life? They say; what comfort are these fine sentiments to the houseless families who have been driven from their homes in Tennessee or Virginia, when they find that our armies, even on the enemy's soil, are withheld from giving the invaders a taste of real war in their own quenched hearths and blazing barns? For what have we set over us a government at all, if it be not to protect us against our enemies; to avenge us of our enemies when need is; to uphold our cause in all its fulness and grandeur, and to keep our banner flying high? But this is lowering the cause and dragging the banner through the dust this is encouraging, inviting our invaders to ravage and pillage us at pleasure, sure that they will not be visited with the like in their turn.--Richmond Sentinel.
Richmond, March 7.Perhaps the people — perhaps even the government of the confederate States--are now at length awakened to the true nature of the struggle in progress. We have been in the habit of regarding it as a war between nations; our enemies have all along looked upon it as a military execution upon a mutinous crew. The means by which their soldiers are desired "to write their names in ineffaceable letters on the hearts of their countrymen," are by rushing at night upon a populous city, burning it down with turpentine and oakum in "soaked balls," turning loose some thousands of ruffian prisoners, brutalized to the deepest degree by acquaintance with every horror of war, who have been confined on an island for a year, far from all means of indulging their strong sensual appetites — inviting this pandemonium to work their will on the unarmed citizens, on the women, gentle and simple, of Richmond, and on all their property — in a word, to sack, with the usual accompaniments attending that operation — to kill Jefferson Davis and his mutinous crew, and slip away as they came; to burn not only houses and bridges, but every thing else which might be of use to the rebels, barns, boats, stores, provisions, and to slaughter all horses and cattle which they could not carry away with them. The results, indeed, of this tremendous intention of ravage and butchery, were contemptible. The "picked command, selected from brigades and regiments" for the thieving and murdering expedition, was not quite up to the mark. "The braves who were to have swept though Richmond" were very easily swept away from before Richmond; and their balls of oakum and turpentine, instead of hissing and flaming in our dwellings and amidst terrified women and children, as. was expected, had to be thrown into the Pamunkey for the present. Nevertheless, the minute programme of that piece of business cannot fail to be instructive. After our government has existed for three years, and has all that time maintained large armies to meet and baffle their far greater armies in fair fight in the field, they think it still an allowable, nay, a virtuous and glorious proceeding, to steal upon our Chief-Magistrate and his Cabinet in their beds, and, after burning their houses, to hang them up on the next tree, just as the French in Algiers would do to a Kabyle chief and his encampment in the desert, or the English in India to some Nena Sahib or Ghoorka marauder. Now — it is as well to look our position straight in the face — we are barbarians in the eyes of our enemies. Our way of life is, according to the dictum of one of these philosophers, "the sum of all barbarism." Against us every thing is fair. We also, though we have newspapers and orators, and a certain command of the English language, are yet so hemmed in for the present by

Simulation Based Performance Evaluation and Comparison of Proactive and Reactive Routing Protocols in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized administration. The mobility of nodes in MANETs results in frequent changes of network topology making routing in MANETs a challenging task. Routing protocols in MANET helps node to send and receive packets. Some studies have been reported in the literature to evaluate the performance of the proposed routing algorithms. However, since the publication of experimental standards for some routing protocols by IETF, little activity has been done to contrast the performance of reactive against proactive protocols.

Windows 7
Desktop is cut in 1920x1080 resolution
I have a Radeon HD 4350 based display card,
Dual boot PC with Win XP & Win 7 64 bit connected
with a VGA cable to the monitor.
I use a resolution of 1920x1080 for both OS.
Yesterday, I booted up Windows 7 and I noticed that the left
side of the desktop is missing (the part with the start button and
the pop up menu), when I changed the resolution to 1360x768, it
came back again, I opened an application and resized it on the entire
desktop, then changed the resolution back to 1920x1080 and saw that
the left part of the window is "missing" / cut off
I tried to install the latest catalyst control center / drivers, but that
did not help either.
I rebooted to XP, there its fine in 1920x1080, I also tried to hook
another PC to the monitor and it looked fine in 1920x1080.
I have also, hooked up the PC running Win 7 to another monitor and in it
I can see the desktop fine in 1920x1080.
I would appreciate any thoughts about this scenario, as I am very confused,
since everything used to work fine.

text: Three days elapsed, and no invitation to Font Abbey; on this his happiness cooled of itself. But when day after day rolled by, and no Font Abbey, he was dashed, uneasy, and, above all, perplexed. What could be the reason? Had he, with his rough ways, offended her? Had she been too dignified to resent it at the time? Was he never to go to Font Abbey again? Eve's first feeling was unmixed satisfaction. We have seen already that she expected no good from this rash attachment.

As part of President Obama's 7th annual White House Tribal Nations Conference, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs Kevin Washburn today announced that the Department of the Interior has expanded leasing provisions to give Indian landowners greater control over the use and development of their land. They also announced the launch of Native One Stop, a website where tribal members can locate important federal resources they may be eligible to receive.
Can you imagine Obama announcing a new policy to give states and individual landowners "greater control over the use and development of their land" to "generate investment" and "expand economic opportunity" for the rest of us?

Soon it was that time again for me, my husband and my 19 month old son to go home and see our lovely family in Egypt. From where I was sitting in the UK the media coverage of what was happening in filled me with fear as to whether or not it was safe to take my little boy and all that went through my mind was should I stay or go or cancel, yes at the time I was concerned. I had never ever felt unsafe in Egypt and have been travelling there since 2005 and made over 14 trips backwards and forwards over the years but this time I actually had my doubts.
We hadn't been back to Luxor due to money constraints for about 8 months, so in our minds our trip was essential and without further ado we went ahead and booked for the 20th August to fly from Manchester to Hurghada due to the limited flights to fly to Luxor direct. When we boarded the flight I was completely overjoyed to see a full flight of wonderful people, people who hadn't let the media get the better of them, people who believed the resorts in Hurghada to be safe.
We spent 2 lovely relaxing days in Hurghada where life seemed unaffected by the recent troubles and pretty much business as usual, we were recovering by the pool from the flight with our 20 month old who refused to sit still and pretty much cried all the way, and this was the only stress of the journey. Soon it was time to travel onward to Luxor and we were picked up by a family member in his car. I had been concerned about the journey by road having been told it wasn't advisable to travel east from Hurghada to Luxor, and the only reason I went ahead with this was because we were told it wasn't advisable to come to Egypt at all. Our journey took three and a half hours, it seemed that when the armed guards at checkpoints seen I was a tourist in the back of the car and they didn't trouble us, we weren't stuck in an long queues although I did notice a very large queue at the checkpoint entering Hurghada from Luxor but nothing the other way around leaving like we were at the time.
Entering Luxor was very different from Hurghada, the effect of the recent events in Egypt could clearly be seen, it wasn't the Luxor I was used to. No tourists taking photos from the pavements, no calesh drivers up and down the streets, no large crowds at the temples that are now closed. It was weirdly quiet. A family member who works at the Maritime tells me the hotel with over 700 rooms has only 30 guests. I am yet to venture on the streets here but that isn't due to fear, I would be cautious going out here as I would be going out anywhere else but for different reasons. If I needed to go out I would, its more due to being busy cleaning our flat in the village after workmen installing air conditioning and the children from the family running in and out to play with my son, I'm sure one day soon I will find the time to get out of the house, although my husband recommends wearing traditional clothing as I would sadly be one of the few foreigners around here.
Now I'm glad I went ahead and booked our trip and didn't delay. I'm thoroughly enjoying being back in Egypt for the next month and spending the rest of my time in Luxor, my home from home.

Montana Supreme Court: Obesity may qualify as 'impairment'
Yukio Strachan
Jul 10, 2012 in
- Montana's highest court ruled Friday that obesity qualifies as an impairment in some cases under the Montana Human Rights Act, thus allowing the potential for those who are obese to seek greater protection against discrimination.
In a 4-3 decision, Montana Supreme Court found that if a person's weight is outside the normal range and affects one or more body systems, it may constitute a physical or mental impairment — even if it's not a symptom of some underlying disease or health condition as defined under the Americans With Disabilities Act, The
Associated Press
The ruling came in a case brought by Eric Feit against the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway(BNSF). Feit alleged that BNSF withdrew a conditional offer to hire him as a conductor trainee because of the "significant health and safety risks associated with extreme obesity,"
According to
court documents
■ On December 6, 2007, 30-year-old Eric Feit applied for a job as a conductor trainee with BNSF, because of the opportunities for income and benefits that the job provided.
■ On January 16, 2008, Feit received an offer of employment conditioned on him passing a number of preemployment tests, including a physical exam, all of which he satisfactorily completed.
■ Before Feit started work for BNSF on February 18, 2008, he was advised by email (dated February 6, 2008) that he could not start work due to his weight, withdrawing the conditional offer to hire him as a conductor trainee because of the "significant health and safety risks associated with extreme obesity."
■ On February 27, 2009, Feit filed an administrative complaint with the Montana Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) alleging that he had been a victim of discrimination because of a disability — obesity.
■On March 10, 2010, Terry Spear, a department hearing officer agreed with Feit and awarded him the sum of $494,641.23 in damages, saying BNSF refused to hire him "because it regarded him as disabled."
BNSF appealed to the Montana Human Rights Commission, which affirmed the department's decision, The
Billings Gazette
But BNSF didn't stop there, the company then took the matter to federal court, where U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy asked the Montana Supreme Court for clarification.
Joining in the majority decision were Justices Beth Baker, James Nelson, Mike Wheat and Patricia O'Brien Cotter.
Three Montana Supreme Court justices dissented with the majority decision: Justices Brian Morris, Chief Justice Mike McGrath and James Rice.
In a
, Associate Justice Brian Morris along with McGrath wrote that established federal law holds that obesity may be considered an impairment only if it is caused by a physiological disorder or condition.
And Rice said recent changes to the federal Americans with Disabilities Act shouldn't be considered when applying Montana's law to Feit's claim, because the changes were made after the dispute between Feit and BNSF, the AP reported.
Federal cases decided under earlier versions of the ADA held that obesity isn't important unless tied to a physiological disorder, he noted.

August 8th, 2004, 12:45 PM #1
A parish priest was being honored at a dinner on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his arrival in that parish. A leading local politician, who was a member of the congregation, was chosen to make the presentation and give a little speech at the dinner, but he was delayed in traffic, so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited.
"You will understand," he said, "the seal of the confessional, can never be broken. However, I got my first impressions of the parish from the very first confession I heard here. I can only hint vaguely about this, but when I came here twenty-five years ago I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first chap who entered my confessional told me how he had stolen a television set, and when stopped by the police, had almost murdered the officer. Further, he told me he had stolen money from his parents, embezzled money from his place of business, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs, and gave VD to his sister.
I was appalled, but as the days went on I came to realize that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of understanding and loving people."
Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and give his talk...........
"I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived in this parish," said the politician. "In fact, I had the honor of being the first one to go to him in confession."

Making of a video at Mizuno: DAY 1
Today is monday and I left Bangor at 6:50 this am for my trip down here to Atlanta. First flight was to Detroit, then on down to the peachtree state.
First impression: Georgia looks similar to Maine in that there are lots of trees. But.. OMG 8 lanes of traffic on the highway? UGH!! Our driver Lisandra was amazing.. and was not stressed at all. I kept closing my eyes as I was so nervous that someone was going to sideswipe us. She navigated around the traffic like a pro. I feel very confident having her drive us around this week.
Got to the W Midtown hotel. Very nice, right in the heart of the city. Ultra modern, compared to anything else that I have ever stayed in. Great view of the city, or I should say, of the neighboring buildings.. Much more majestic than we have in Maine for sure. I kinda like it. Kinda.
As you can see in the next picture, I have made myself right at home on the desk in my room. Lots of space to spread stuff out. Notice the bagels I brought from home. Gotta have my blueberry bagels!
When I checked in downstairs, the clerk wanted my debit card to charge the room and I explained to him that the room was already paid for. He said it was not a "full charge" but just an authorization. When I got up to my room, I looked online and saw the bill was already charged to my debit card I sent a text msg to Dave, our producer and within mins it was all fixed. He came to meet me at the desk and apologized profusely for the mix-up I can't ask for nicer treatment. The desk staff is wonderful, and it's surprisingly easy to get around here so far. Since I have some free time tomorrow morning, I may go exploring.
I don't have the itinerary for tomorrow just yet. Dave is supposed to let me know what time and where to be. I'm anxious to get this show on the road! hahaha 🙂 Watch out Atlanta! Weez is here!
(Here's the link:) What's next: Day 2, "running segments"

Dodd-Frank Mandates Usher in Uncertainty for 2015's Proxy Season
May 4, 2015
April 15 is not only tax day in the United States but also the start of corporate America's "proxy season," when most large publicly traded companies hold annual meetings and shareholders vote on propositions introduced on proxy ballots. Among the items voted on are shareholder resolutions, which can be introduced, with some regulatory constraints, by stockholders of publicly traded companies who have held shares valued at $2,000 or more for at least one year.
The 2015 proxy season begins with significant uncertainty due to a series of recent regulatory and legal decisions:
- Under new rules, proxy advisers execute votes for client institutional investors are subject to federal proxy rules; proxy advisors must disclose business relationships that they have with a company upon which they are offering voting advice; and investment advisers are bound by fiduciary duties of care and loyalty but have some flexibility in determining how to vote their shares.
- Litigation continues to generate uncertainty about proxy rules, with companies and shareholders alike filing suit to challenge the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) decisions.
- Concurrently, the SEC's Division of Corporate Finance declared that it would not permit publicly traded companies to exclude shareholder resolutions on proxy ballots, on that basis, for the 2015 season. As such, shareholders in 2015 will, in some instances, be voting on competing proposals by shareholders and management, on the same topics.
In 2010, Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank law, which mandated that companies hold annual, biennial or triennial shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation—an outcome certain shareholder activists had long sought through shareholder proposals.
Since 2010, the number of shareholder proposals related to executive compensation has declined because this issue no longer shows up as a shareholder proposal—being obviated by the Dodd-Frank rule—and because activists focused on executive-compensation issues may focus their energies on convincing companies and other shareholders through the advisory votes, rather than by introducing shareholder proposals.

Schoolcraft Learning Community: Welcome student, here's your new iPad2
When it comes to learning school policy, parents of students at Schoolcraft Learning Community have a lot to think about. The school recently enacted a policy on the use of Apple iPads, which are small, portable, tablet computers. As of Monday, nearly every sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grader at SLC has received an iPad2.
Parents and their children were briefed on how to use the new devices earlier this week.
"Not everyone likes change," SLC's Technology Integration Specialist Stacy Bender-Fayette said to the adults and children sitting in the school's cafeteria Tuesday evening. "My motto for this year is 'Without change, there would be no butterflies.'"
Last year SLC received a $189,750 technology improvement grant from the U.S. Department of Education through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, which the school used in collaboration with Bemidji State University, Apple Computer Inc. and Expeditionary Learning Schools.
The grant allowed the school to replace its outdated computer lab with new laptop computers, digital cameras, video camera, an Apple iPod learning lab with 20 mobile devices, global positioning system units, digital microscopes and digital probes.
Several months later the school was chosen as one of seven school districts to receive extra dollars from the same grant, giving SLC an additional $68,500.
School officials decided to use the money to purchase approximately 80 iPad2s, as well as computer software programs and training materials.
The electronic device allows students to use the Internet wherever wireless Internet is available. They can also look at maps, create movies, take photos and shoot video, read electronic books, listen to music, play games and use tools like a protractor and graphic calculator.
"When you look at what the 21st Century skills are - it is communication, collaboration, problem-solving and critical thinking," Bender-Fayette said. "We do that well without the technology, but when you add those technology pieces, it's so much better."
These devices, she added, will change the way students learn and how they share their knowledge.
While receiving the new gadget this week felt like Christmas for many students, some parents now have their work cut out for them in trying to monitor their child's technology habits.
Understanding lingo like "external hard drive," "syncing," "Google Apps" and "WiFi" is essential for SLC parents. Every student at SLC has a password and username through Google.com Applications for Education, an online program that allows students to work on their classroom projects from any computer with Internet capabilities. Parents are given their child's password and username, but they need to know where to go online in order to use them.
Besides encouraging their kids to brush their teeth before bedtime, parents now must make sure their children plug in their iPad to make sure the device is fully charged in the morning. An iPad with little or no battery power is as useless as homework left at home.
When choosing a backpack for the school year, parents were asked by school officials to consider buying a padded one in order to keep the iPad from being broken. Students also have been asked to treat their backpacks more kindly.
It is ultimately the student's responsibility for taking care of their iPad, according to SLC's new policy.
Each student is provided with a durable iPad case, but devices that are broken or fail to work properly must be taken to the school's technology department for an evaluation.
According to Bender-Fayette, each iPad2 costs $560. If an iPad is lost, stolen or damaged beyond repair one time, the student must pay 50 percent of the replacement cost (including shipping) for a new iPad. If the iPad is lost, stolen or damaged beyond repair more than one time, the student is responsible for paying the entire replacement cost for a new iPad.
At the information sessions held this week, parents signed an iPad program fee agreement which included a request to parents to pay a $50 program fee per student to help fund the costs of the iPad case, repairs and computer software.
In order to keep iPads safe and accounted for, school officials have set up a system that can locate each iPad. Each device is engraved with a code that school officials have linked to a database that matches a particular iPad with a student's name.
"If there was a situation where there was a theft or an iPad disappeared, that is the information we would give authorities to be searching for," Bender-Fayette said.
As long as the iPad is connecting to a wireless Internet network, school officials also can remotely wipe out the content of the iPad, "which is pretty amazing," Bender-Fayette said.
Parents are given the option of whether they want their child to bring home their iPad or leave it at school. At school, students can leave their iPad2 in their cubby, but the school still has yet to designate a secure place for the iPads at school.
But with new and easier ways of communicating also comes conflict, especially when bullying crosses over into the digital realm.
At the information sessions, parents and students were given information about cyber bullying, which is when a child or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child or teen using the Internet or mobile phones.
"Our goal is to make all of our students feel safe using this technology and also know they are expected to use this technology in a way that is respectful toward others," said Brooke Wichmann, SLC's conflict management teacher.
Monitoring what students look at online can be difficult for parents and the school's technology staff to handle. But Bender-Fayette said every teacher at SLC has received training on the iPad and the school's new policy and will be there to help.
After attending the information session with his father, sixth-grader Tommy Saxton said getting to use an iPad "is going to be pretty cool."
He added he is excited to try out the new math games installed on it and thinks the device will offer new learning opportunities.
His father, Robert, said he is worried about the iPad breaking, but is also excited about the opportunities that will now be offered to his son.
"It's all happening so fast it just kind of blows your mind away," he said. "It puts you back on your heels with all of what you are capable of getting access to and learning with these devices. I'm still amazed by James Bond, but we're like light years past that already."

Top 5 Mindy / Danny Moments
Beth Dubber/FOX
Cue screaming:
Mindy and Danny finally kissed, and to celebrate I've compiled a list of The Mindy Project's most adorable, shippiest scenes.
Jordin Althaus/FOX
5. Mindy spends the night at Danny's
Um, can you say adorable? Pretty much all of "You've Got Sext" was full to the brim with squee-inducing Mindy / Danny goodness. The way he's freaking out about the fact that she might have a crush on him? The way she sets up camp in his bed and giggles at mating frogs on the Nature Channel? The way he tells her over pancakes that her workplace crush is not out of her league because she's "great"? I LOVE IT.
4. Danny Castellano is the best personal trainer
In "Danny Castellano Is My Personal Trainer," how sweet is it that, as Mindy's listing all the ways she could improve her body (getting rid of cellulite, having a boob job, and magically gaining blue eyes are all at the top of her list), Danny shuts down her low self-esteem with a simple "I don't want that." He then goes on to tell her, "You're a woman and that's good; look like a woman." How far they've come since the pilot.
Also, that shot of Mindy staring Danny's junk right down the barrel and subsequently screaming in terror was hilarious.
3. The pre-Haiti near-kiss
In "Take Me With You," Mindy and Danny share a heart to heart in the lounge – he's comforting her in his slightly abrasive Danny way (by teasing her about her pixie cut), when he stops to take some "schmutz" off of her glasses. The result? Their faces are too close! They hold eye contact for too long! Alert, alert! Alas, Mindy has to go and ruin the lovely moment by announcing that she's back together with Casey.
2. Danny's dance (AKA kiss close call take 2)
Um, he choreographed a dance. To a song he hates. If that doesn't spell "true love," I don't know what does. His dance to Aaliyah's "Try Again" was pure gold, and the overlong hug and meaningful stare that followed? Even better. Darn you, Peter Prentice, for interrupting that.
1. The first kiss
Okay, okay, be cool guys, it finally happened. Their airplane kiss was just what the doctor ordered for this slow burn, and that little When Harry Met Sally button on the episode? Perfect, as was the little title card reading, "Happily Ever After?" We know it won't be smooth sailing for these two, but who cares? They kissed!
And now we have to wait until April to see what happens next. Grr.
So what are your favorite Mindy / Danny moments? Share them in the comments!

By Kelly Curtis, WSCA President
At the Wisconsin PBIS Networking Conference in August, I attended a session about Culturally Responsive Classrooms. The speaker, Kathy Myles from the Wisconsin RTI Center shared an insightful message about seeing behaviors with a cultural lens and that "culture" doesn't mean just ethnicity or race. As school counselors, we may need to be sensitive to various cultures including religion, gender, nationality, youth, or poverty. When we begin to see behaviors with a lens for all these cultures, we can better recognize when a behavior is "cultural", rather than "wrong" and respond in a way that guides a child toward learning our school's expectations without disrespecting the child's cultural identity.
Author Pamela Hays wrote that the way we become culturally competent is to "engage in our own ongoing cultural self-assessment through individually-oriented work (e.g., introspection, self-questioning, reading, some forms of research) and interpersonal learning (e.g., community activities, diverse media, and peer-level relationships.)"
The fact you're reading this far into my message probably indicates you are culturally responsive in some way. Most of us have much to learn though since there are many cultures we probably have not been exposed to. I will close with four excellent questions Myles asked us to consider as we grow in our own cultural competence:
Four Key Words in Cultural Responsiveness
Validate - Making legitimate that which the institution (academia) and mainstream have made illegitimate
Affirm - Making positive that which the institution (academia) and mainstream media have made negative
Build - Making the connections between the home culture/language and the school culture/language through instructional strategy and activity
Bridge - Giving opportunities for situational appropriateness or utilizing appropriate cultural or linguistic behavior
(Source: Dr. Sharroky Hollie, Executive Director for The Center for Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning)
Multicultural Competency as a School Counselor
Written By Tammi Fure, Middle School Vice President
School counselors work every day with students and families from diverse backgrounds, which can challenge us and help us grow as a professional. As diversity continues to increase within our schools, school counselors need to develop competencies in regards to awareness, knowledge, and skills to effectively address the needs of the student population. Overall, school counselors want to promote success of all students along with increasing their awareness, understanding, and appreciation of diversity within the students and families they work with.
The American School Counselor Association's position on the professional school counselor and cultural diversity is that "Professional school counselors collaborate with stakeholders to create a school and community climate that embraces cultural diversity and helps to remove barriers that impede student success" (ASCA, 2009). Not only does multiculturalism pertain to race and ethnicity, but also social identities such as sexuality. Cannon (2005) suggests that multicultural competence should not focus solely on race issues, but on a number of social identities that intersect with individuals, organizations, and society.
Using the multicultural counseling competencies Arredondo et al. (1996) operationalizes the multicultural counseling competencies, so that counselors can learn about themselves and their clients in the areas of attitudes and beliefs, knowledge, and skills. Attitudes and beliefs involves counselors reflecting on themselves on how their attitude and beliefs are similar or different from their clients. The component of knowledge involves increasing ones knowledge about different perspectives to allow for open, respectful dialogue, which includes similarities and differences. Finally, skills involves not placing the counselor's values onto the client, so the client can find their own way to promote growth.
There are several ways school counselors can increase their multicultural competencies. The first is to learn about yourself, such as self-assessing your values, beliefs, and ethnic heritage. A second way is to learn about different cultures. This can be done through literature written by minority authors about specific cultures, attending workshops/seminars/diversity focused conferences, and attending graduate classes. A third way is to interact with diverse cultures. For instance, finding volunteer opportunities or additional supplementary work that solely involves interacting with members of the diverse group. In addition, you could join organizations that focus on multicultural issues. Finally, lobby your department or school for additional training (Clay, 2010).
There are several reasons school counselors need to be culturally competent. Schools are working hard to close the achievement gaps for different cultures. In order to close the gap while increasing those same students in taking accelerated Advanced Placement and honor classes school counselors are needed, especially if those same students will attend college. As a school counselor you will be culturally competent when you have the skills that allow you to work effectively with students that have a variety of cultural backgrounds and acknowledging cultural similarities and differences have an impact on the counseling process (Erdford, 2007).
With the population changing within the school setting it is ever so important that counselors are culturally competent. This means we need to come together to meet the challenges and demands of our diverse student population whether that be race and ethnicity, gender, religious affiliation, age, disability status, socioeconomic status and/or sexual orientation. Becoming more responsive and respectful as a counseling professional will benefit students by allowing us to become more aware of cultures or lifestyles that are different from our own.

Mental Health and Suicide Prevention: Addressing the Challenges
The recent death of comedian/actor Robin Williams raised the general public's awareness of mental health and suicide. As we examine the national and Wisconsin landscapes related to these issues, it is clear that we face increasing challenges.
The national literature about childhood/young adulthood mental illness provides some alarming context into the students we serve. Half of lifetime (chronic) mental illness starts by age 14. Additionally, 20% of all adolescents experience significant symptoms of emotional distress, and 10% have moderate to severe symptoms with significant impairment. The most common disorders are depression, anxiety, ADHD, and substance abuse. Unfortunately, 60-90% with mental health disorders do not receive treatment.
Some of the most revealing Wisconsin data comes from the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). It shows that 56% of the state's high school students reported that their mental health was not good on one or more of the past 30 days. This result included a significant gender difference; with males = 45% and females = 67%. Alarmingly, that's 2 out of 3 females walking the halls of our high schools.
The 2013 YRBS also showed 25% of high school students reported that they felt so sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks or more in a row during the past 12 months that they stopped doing some usual activities. This is part of the clinical definition of major depressive disorder; and again, there was a significant gender difference: males = 17%; females = 33%. The fact that 1 out of 4 young adults report depressive symptoms suggests a growing need for mental health interventions.
How are students different if they receive services? We know that addressing student's mental health is associated with positive school outcomes. Effective services (whether school-based or clinic-based) increase academic achievement, decrease problem behaviors, and improve school and classroom climate. The bottom line is that mental health promotion helps create a better learning environment and improves teaching conditions.
It is important to not over-simplify the concept of mental health by using a "healthy/unhealthy" dichotomy. Mental health is not an "either-or" situation. We all have good and bad mental health days. Rather, we should consider mental health on a continuum. Students may have symptoms and behaviors without having a diagnosable disorder. Additionally, students may have a diagnosable disorder that is managed well, so there are minimal symptoms and behaviors. As counselors, we are trained to meet our clients/students where they are in the moment. Consideration into the fluidity of mental health can help us in that endeavor.
Two specific mental health issues require extra attention in determining whether a student is in the throes of a mental health episode or just having a bad day: trauma and suicide.
Trauma is an individual's response to a highly stressful event or ongoing series of events; trauma is not the event itself. Children growing up in dangerous environments may be in a constant state of "yellow alert" (survival mode) which often results in one or more of the lower brain functions: flight (leave or hide), fight (act out with verbal and physical aggression), or freeze (shut down, withdraw or dissociate). This can certainly have an impact on classroom behavior as students exhibit behavioral clues such as reactivity and impulsivity, aggression, defiance, withdrawal, perfectionism, and/or mistrust in adult and peer relationships.
Trauma can also impact a student's academic performance through negative effects on language and communication skills, the ability to organize narrative material, understanding cause and effect relationships, taking another's perspective, attentiveness to classroom tasks, regulating emotions, and engaging the curriculum.
As we work with both our students and the school adults with whom they interact, it can be helpful to ask ourselves/others, "How do we see these students?" Often the uniformed adult views students who are experiencing the effects of trauma as having anger management problems or ADHD. They see these students as choosing to act out in disrespectful or manipulative ways, as uncontrollable, destructive, or non-responsive. These view leads to the uniformed responses of assigning the student negative consequences, punishments, or an ADHD evaluation.
Alternatively the trauma-informed adult views these students as using maladaptive responses to "normal" school situations or seeking to get needs met but having difficulty regulating emotions or lacking necessary skills. They recognize that students who've experienced trauma often have a negative view of the world (e.g., adults cannot be trusted) and that most often the trauma response is triggered by some seemingly innocuous circumstance. This view leads to a trauma-informed response: the students need to learn skills to regulate emotions, and we need to provide support.
The most common school adaptations and supports for students impacted by trauma include helping adults identify and avoid triggers (remove stimuli that may trigger students), teaching students skills to effectively regulate emotions, building positive relationships with students, providing a predictable environment by foreshadowing changes in routine, and creating opportunities for students to make choices (thereby empowering them to take control of a situation in a positive rather than negative way).
The second specific mental health issue requiring special consideration is suicide. CNN recently reported that, globally, a suicide occurs every 40 seconds. In Wisconsin, from 1999–2014, 660 youths ages 5-19 have intentionally ended their lives. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of deaths for that age group; behind only unintentional/accidental deaths. Additionally, over that same time span, the WI suicide rate per 100,000 children age 5-19 has been below the US suicide rate only once (2008). These statistics are alarming.
As we know, literature has assured us that suicide is not a singular event; rather, it's a process with observable warning signs. The 2013 YRBS data shows the percentages of WI high school students who reported being sad/hopeless (Females = 33%, Males = 17%), seriously considering suicide (Females = 16%, Males = 10%), making a plan for suicide (Females = 15%, Males = 9%), and attempting suicide (Females = 6%, Males = 6%). This data shows a narrowing, yet statistically significant, gender difference in the downward spiral. What that data does not show is that males die by suicide at a rate four times greater than females.
While mental health issues cannot be prevented and must be dealt with using effective interventions, suicide can be prevented. Mandated by law to be included in districts' health curriculums, students and adults can be taught suicide prevention warning signs; and they can learn what to do if/when they recognize someone exhibiting a warning sign. Suicide prevention trainings can be scheduled with the Wisconsin Safe and Healthy Schools Center (http://www.wishschools.org/) or through DPI.

WSCA Fall Summit: Mental Health in Schools
Steve Schneider: Conference Coordinator
As I was sitting in my office the other day, catching my breath after the first two weeks of school, I found myself dumbstruck by the fact that I am starting my 18th year as a high school counselor. That just doesn't seem possible! It seems like every year I'm still learning something new. I suppose that's what keeps our profession exciting. This year, beyond my own building (Sheboygan South HS) and district, I'm learning about what is involved with being the WSCA Conference co-chair. I'm excited to serve our profession in this new role. Much of my most valuable professional growth has come as a result of being involved on the WSCA Board (first as the Treasurer, then as the President, and now as the Conference co-chair). I'm particularly excited about the conference as we will be celebrating 50 years as an association! We have some special plans in place including a big champagne toast during the social on Wednesday evening. We hope you will all join us as we celebrate the first 50 years of WSCA!
Liz Singer: Graduate Student Representative
Hi, my name is Liz Singer and I am the 2014-2015 Graduate Student Representative. I am a student at UW-Whitewater, and I first became involved with WSCA in the spring of 2012 when I attended a graduate student committee meeting with the previous UW-W representative. The year after that, I held the honor of being the co-representative for my school. I am now in my final year of graduate school. I work as the supervisor of an after-school program in Merton and I am interning in the Watertown School District, primarily at Schurz Elementary and Webster Elementary, under the expert supervision of WSCA member, Karen Sturdevant. I am excited to combine my learning on the board, my experiences interning, and what I have learned in my courses as I prepare to graduate in May. I am very much looking forward to finding a permanent placement as a Professional School Counselor for the 2015-2016 school year!
