Benjamin "Ben" Campbell Raybould, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Benjamin "Ben" Campbell Raybould, born in Pottsville, Pennsylvania on February 21, 1922, to Jane Treasure Thomas and William Arthur Raybould. He was the youngest of 4 children, William, Harry, Elizabeth and Ben. Ben graduated from Pottsville High School in 1940. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He was part of the commissioning crew of the aircraft carrier USS Essex, and honorably served in the South Pacific as an Aviation Mechanic/Second Class CC, and also served as an aircraft gunner. In 1949, Ben moved to New Mexico and worked for the Mountain States Telephone Company for 35 years. Beginning his employment as a lineman, he ultimately found his niche in the marketing department for commercial and government contracts. Ben met his future wife, Edith (Ede) Davenport, while singing in the choir at Central United Methodist Church, and they were married on August 5, 1951, at the same church. Ben and Ede shared over 60 wonderful years together and were blessed with four children and six grandchildren. Admired for his beautiful tenor voice, Ben was asked numerous times to sing at weddings and funerals, and he frequently soloed at both Trinity UMC and St. John's UMC. During the Christmas season, his family especially holds dear the memory of his singing of "Oh Holy Night!" at Christmas Eve services. Although Ben loved blessing the Lord and others with his musical giftings, following his retirement he found extraordinary fulfillment in service to others. He was a dedicated volunteer for Meals on Wheels. While his clients were appreciative of warm meals, they were more appreciative of his endearing laugh, warm conversation and untiring kindness. Ben also gave of his time and energy to install Life Lines for Presbyterian Hospital and volunteer at the Pioneer Telephone Company Museum. Before his health declined, he was an active member of the Men's Group at St. John's. Ben was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Those who knew him cherished him and will forever hold his memory and noble example of generous living close to their hearts. Ben is survived by his beloved wife, Ede; his children, David and Linda Raybould and their daughters, Megan and Kathryn, Mark Raybould, Bob and Heidi Raybould and their daughters, Kelsey and Kendra, and Mark and Lisa Dalton and their children, Mallory and Benjamin. He is also survived by his older sister, Elizabeth, as well as several nephews and nieces, all in Pennsylvania. Services will be held at St. John's United Methodist Church, 2626 Arizona St. NE, Albuquerque, on Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. Private interment will take place at Solano Cemetery in Solano, NM. Anyone wishing to make a gift in Ben's name is free to choose a charity that is special to the donor.

Iraqi political parties seek to resolve crisis (Reuters)
BAGHDAD (Reuters) ? Iraqi lawmakers tried on Sunday to negotiate an end to the country's worst political crisis in a year after Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki sought his Sunni vice president's arrest on charges he ran an assassination squad.
U.S. officials, diplomats and politicians have been in a flurry of talks to calm a crisis that threat the ns to push Iraq back in the kind of sectarian strife that took the OPEC oil producer to the edge of civil war only a few years ago.
Just a week after the last U.S. troops left, the upheaval risks scuppering the country's uneasy power-sharing government that splits posts and ministries among the Shi'ite National Alliance coalition, the mostly Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc and Kurdish political movement.
A string of bombings across Baghdad, including a suicide bombing on a government building, killed 72 and wounded 200 more Thursday, underscoring Iraq's still vulnerable security situation as the political crisis gripped the country.
Tuesday could be a key test for how Iraq's turmoil develops when the cabinet is scheduled to meet and Iraqiya government ministers will decide whether they will attend or boycott the meeting. Iraqiya lawmakers have already temporarily suspended their participation in parliament, which is in recess.
"There was a delegation from the National Alliance that met Iraqiya last night," said Haider al-Abadi, a senior Shi'ite lawmaker and Maliki ally.
"If Iraqiya wants to participate in real talks, it has to go back to parliament and the government because a parliament boycott is not acceptable," he added.
Nearly nine years after the invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein, sectarian tensions still run close to the surface in Iraq, where sustained sectarian violence between Sunni and Shi'ite communities killed thousands of people in 2006-07.
Maliki last week sought the arrest of Sunni Vice-President Tareq al-Hashemi, a key member of Iraqiya, on charges he ordered his bodyguards to carry out assassinations and bombings.
The prime minister also asked parliament to fire his Sunni deputy, Saleh al-Mutlaq, another Iraqiya leader, after he branded Maliki a dictator.
PROTESTS IN PROVINCES
Hashemi, who says he is victim of a political vendetta, is now in semi-autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan, where he is unlikely to face immediate arrest. He has asked for his case to be transferred there. Kurdistan has its own government and armed forces.
"The political dimension of this is to get rid of all those who oppose Nuri al-Maliki, it is clear," Hashemi told Reuters in a weekend interview.
Shi'ite political leaders say the Hashemi case is a criminal issue now with the courts and not politically motivated.
But Maliki's moves are fanning minority Sunni fears that they are being marginalized. Since the fall of Saddam, Iraq's Shi'ite majority has risen and Sunnis say they feel they have been pushed out of decision-making.
Iraq remains a sharply divided country with Kurds in their own semi-autonomous northern enclave, Shi'ites mainly in the southern oil-producing region, and Sunni strongholds sitting in the west along the frontier with Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
Iraqis in four cities in Sunni heartland provinces protested Friday against the Hashemi arrest warrant and against what they see as Maliki's attempts to consolidate power at the expense of the Sunni minority.
Elsewhere at the weekend, Iraqis demonstrated against Hashemi in the southern, mainly Shi'ite city of Hilla, and urged Maliki's government to bring him to justice.

Insurer for Sandusky charity argues payouts
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) ? An insurance company for a charity founded by Jerry Sandusky argued in a federal complaint Friday that it should not have to pay legal expenses or claims for the former Penn State assistant football coach now accused of molesting children.
Federal Insurance Co. said it would be wrong for the company to have to cover Sandusky because he is accused of conduct that did not involve his position as an executive or employee of The Second Mile, a charity for at-risk youth he founded in 1977.
In addition, "Pennsylvania courts have found that a person who sexually abuses a minor should not expect his insurer to cover his misconduct, particularly where the average insured purchasing insurance would cringe at the very suggestion that he was paying for coverage arising out of sexual abuse of a child," lawyers for the New Jersey-based company wrote.
Sandusky is charged with sexually abusing 10 boys over more than a decade. He has denied the allegations and is awaiting trial in Centre County after waiving a preliminary hearing earlier this month.
His criminal defense lawyer, Joe Amendola, said Friday he had not seen the complaint, filed in federal court in Williamsport. Amendola said Sandusky was served Wednesday with a lawsuit filed in Philadelphia by one alleged victim and was getting a different lawyer to represent him in civil cases.
"I can say it's not unexpected that the insurance carrier would attempt to get out from under representing Jerry," Amendola said.
Dennis Mulvihill, a lawyer for Federal Insurance, referred questions to Mark Greenberg, the company's chief information officer. Greenberg did not immediately return a message left at his office after hours Friday.
A spokesman for The Second Mile said the matter was between Federal and Sandusky, and declined further comment.
The complaint asks the court to rule that Federal has no obligation to pay Sandusky's criminal defense costs or to indemnify him for civil or criminal claims related to alleged sexual abuse of children.
"Extending insurance coverage to Sandusky is unlawful because providing insurance coverage for claims arising from sexual assault, molestation, and/or abuse of minors is repugnant to Pennsylvania public policy," according to the complaint.
Amendola said Sandusky has not sought coverage regarding the criminal case.
