President Barack Obama claims that U.S. intelligence agencies underestimated the threat posed to the West by ISIS militants. Meanwhile, the Syrian branch of al-Qaida has threatened to attack the West to avenge airstrikes in Syria and Iraq by the U.S. military.
"I think our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria," Obama said on CBS' "60 Minutes."
Some in the intelligence community pushed back Monday against Obama's charge that faulty intelligence was to blame for his underestimation of the ISIS threat. An unnamed official told Fox News that Obama was provided options to target senior ISIS officials for 18 months prior to the air strikes, but "every option was denied." more >>
President Obama and other politicians are fond of reminding Americans that Islam is a "religion of peace." Unfortunately, that message is not getting across to the millions of Muslims that adhere to a radical branch of Islam that considers non-believers to be infidels worthy of death. Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy and other experts estimate that 15 percent of the 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide believe in this violent form of Islam. This means there are approximately 240 million Muslims who want to kill Christians, Jews and "moderate" Muslims.
Sadly, these radicals are not confined to the Middle East. They have found a home in the United States of America, even in Moore, Oklahoma. On Thursday, Alton Nolen, who recently converted to Islam, started attacking innocent people at the Vaughan Foods processing plant. Nolen, who had tried to convert others to Islam, had recently been fired from the company.
He turned his anger into murder when he stabbed and beheaded Colleen Hufford, a co-worker, and was in the process of killing Traci Johnson before he was stopped by Mark Vaughan, the company's Chief Operating Officer. Fortunately, Vaughan, a reserve Oklahoma County deputy, shot Nolen before he could kill Johnson and others. According to Moore Police Sergeant Jeremy Lewis, Vaughan is a "hero," because Nolen was "not going to stop." Lewis believes it would "have gotten a lot worse" if not for Vaughan intervening with his firearm. more >>
An Iraqi human rights lawyer was tortured and killed by terror group ISIS in the city of Mosul, after she was taken from her husband and three children at home and found guilty by the militants' religious court of abandoning Islam.
"The public execution of well-known human rights lawyer and activist, Ms. Sameera Salih Ali Al-Nuaimy, in Mosul, is yet another of the innumerable sickening crimes committed against the people of Iraq by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)" Nickolay Mladenov, the U.N. envoy to Iraq, said in a statement.
Islamic militants seized al-Nuaimy while she was at home with her husband and three children last week in a northeastern district of Mosul. The human rights lawyer was then taken to a secret location. It is not yet known how she was executed, but her body bore signs of torture when her family was called five days later to retrieve her corpse from the morgue. more >>
A coalition of leading Sunni Muslim scholars from across the world took a stand against the jihad waged by Islamic State militants by issuing a letter denouncing the terrorist group's claim that their war is in the name of God.
In a highly-detailed 17-page letter addressed to ISIS, also known as ISIL, leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his followers, 126 international Muslim educators and imams signed an agreement to refute ISIS' jihad. The letter is littered with quotes from the Quran debunking the militants' justification of their brutality under Sharia law.
"You have misinterpreted Islam into a religion of harshness, brutality, torture and murder," the letter states. "This is a great wrong and an offense to Islam, to Muslims and to the entire world." more >>
Steve Moore of the Heritage Foundation punctures some of Ken Burns' myth making in the latest PBS series, "The Roosevelts." As this distinguished economist points out, unemployment throughout the decade of the 1930s averaged an eye-popping 15 percent. Even as late as 1941, as the country ramped up its defense spending and millions went to work in war industries, the unemployment rate was still 12 percent. On top of all this, the federal government vastly expanded its reach with a dizzying array of "alphabet soup" agencies — FCC, FDIC, FTC, WPA, PWA, PDQ (oops, that last one is a joke, folks).
Still, this 14-hour infomercial for Big Government Liberalism that bores Steve Moore to tears, I found fascinating. The folks at the government-funded PBS and the National Endowment for the Humanities were hardly going to do a documentary that trashed three of liberalism's greatest heroes — Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt.
When we look at this series, however, we note that what the Ken Burns team does not celebrate is "lifestyle liberalism." more >>
A National Guard recruiter was instructed to stop handing out promotional t-shirts at a New York high school after teachers complained at the shirts featured a soldier holding a weapon.
"A pointed gun is just not appropriate for a high school," said Alan McCartney, the interim superintendent of the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk School District.
Last Friday, a recruiter for the New York Army National Guard was on campus handing out swag – including a shirt with the logo of a silhouetted soldier aiming a rifle. An American flag and the words "National Guard" framed the silhouette. more >>

FERC Revisits Order 888
In Order 888 the FERC had said that contracts containing Mobile-Sierra clauses could be reformed on a case-by-case basis. On rehearing, the commission affirmed that public utilities (the sellers in rate contracts that contain Mobile-Sierra clauses) can apply to amend their contracts to recover stranded costs without having to make a public interest showing that such cost recovery should be permitted. Utilities will bear the burden of proving they had a "reasonable expectation" of continuing to serve the departing customer after the contract term. If the utilities seek to modify provisions not relating to stranded costs, they will have the burden of showing the provisions are contrary to the public interest.
Customers may file to amend Mobile-Sierra contracts. However, the customer must demonstrate the provisions they wish to modify no longer are "just and reasonable." Customers also can file to terminate the contracts. The FERC reaffirmed its conclusion that customers seeking to end or shorten a contract will remain liable to provisions allowing stranded-cost recovery by the supplying utility.

1/3 Photos of Artichoke Chicken Saute
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
10 mins
10 mins
Adapted from Quick Cooking Magazine. This is a good recipe when you need a very quick-to-fix meal on the table. I have made it with the chicken broth option, as I didn't have white wine the night I made it (I don't drink, so unless I buy wine for a recipe - it's not something I have readily available in the pantry). I used shrimp and with the chicken broth, I thought it was a bit bland and added 1/2 tsp. garlic powder (rounded), 1/4 tsp. onion powder (rounded), and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese to make it more to our liking. I also used evaporated fat free milk instead of the heavy cream to make it lighter and more healthy. If you use the wine, you may not need these extra additions. The magazine also suggests using broccoli or asparagus in place of the artichike hearts, if desired.

I recently purchased Pantheon , and I seem to be doing quite well with him , though in the videos that I see on youtube it seems he used to do more damage. Can someone please give me a nice build in which I can make him into a Assassin (meaning that he does insane ammounts of damage).
I recommend choosing someone else to play until they fix him up a bit from his mega-nerf.
I actually have a lot of success with Pantheon.
Q is a great harassing skill. Doesn't do a ton of damage, but it costs only 30-45 mana
W also can be used in interesting ways. It can stop a runner, keep you save in a tower dive, initiate the gank when R is on cooldown, and I can't count how many times I saved people by using W and giving my teammate a chance.
E suffers from being a channeled spell and mediocre damage, but it's enough to injure an entire wave badly. It can also be used as a chase deterrent.
R is where people have issues with Pantheon, but it's an awesome move. If you move before it's done it will stop and go on a 10s cooldown. This lets you scare the enemy with a constant threat of skyfall.
If I go to spawn for any reason it takes the place of a teleport spell. This opens up room for another spell. I personally like flash and exhaust.
As for items, frozen mallet is always good. Then go attack speed and lifesteal.
Note - Work in progress, have to go get food

item wise:
1. doran's blade
2. cooldown boots
3. brutalizer asap
4. BF swords non-stop
5. Eventually turn BF sword into Bloodthirster/IE
6. Burst people down.
Keep in mind Pantheon is a squishy that can burst damage. Don't build attack speed.
Finish you're damage rotation (W, E, Q) and then wait for cooldowns.
Summoners i go Exhaut & Ghost.
Q->W->Q->E->Q->R Max Q then W Save E for last.
Arpen Red
Mp5/level Seals
Mr/level Glyphs
MS quints
13/0/17 picking up move speed and armor penetration
Dorans Blade->Boots->Brutalizer->CDR Boots->Last Whisper/BF sword, if they're stacking armor or not->Ghostblade->BF Sword/Last Whisper, which ever you didn't get>Banshee's Veil
Turn the BF sword into whatever you see fit.
Harass like a mother****er with your movespeed and Q.
Unless you go like 18-0 with him you won't do anywhere near insane amounts of damage. And GL with that considering his current state.
Here's a solid Pantheon Guide for you.
A really good way to build panth right now is
1. long sword +hp pot
2. opt: sword of occult (ONLY if you feel good and if you're getting some kills)
3. brutalizer
4: boots of swiftness or merc threads(if they have lots of cc)
do not get berserk greaves, cuz you dont need that attack speed
5: get 3 bf swords, DO NOT buy a bloodthirster before you get 3 bf swords. This keeps your attack damage at a high level, and you will be doing crazy damage with hss and spear
6: bloodthirsters after bf swords
If the game continues, you can finish your brutalizer into a yomuu's (i personally have never gone that far). Get a last whisperer if its your last resort to shred enemies
I have never gone negative with this build, and almost always win. Pantheon is in fact very item-dependent, if you build him this way you're damage output is incredible and you will be unstoppable
id go 21/0/9 as pan

Top 5 Solo Artists of the 70's
by Dan Mitchell
posted Feb 15 2011 3:38PM
Today on The List I laid out my choices for the most celebrated, decorated, and sometimes inebriated solo artists from the 70's. Not on The List; McCartney (Wings was a band), John Lennon (he never really engaged after the Beatles) Billy Joel (too uneven) Rod Stewart ('I'll never forgive him for "Do You Think I'm Sexy) and Bruce Springsteen...wait for the 80's tomorrow. So here you go, my top 5;
Neil Young, Bob Seger, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton and number one goes to Elton John. Elton ruled the decade with 7 number one albums including the first to ever debut at number 1..."Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy." He sold out Stadiums and Arenas all over the world and turned out his best work (an average of 1 album each 6 months) while he was emerging as the biggest pop/rock star on the planet. There, I've said my peace. It's your turn.

I spent some time in my local "Big Blue" home improvement store looking at copper prices this morning. I can get a coil of 1/4"x50' or a coil of 1/2"x20' for approximately the same price. They also carry 3/8" in both lengths, and the price for 20' falls between the two I mentioned.
My question is one of economics. For a few dollars more I can get a larger diameter pipe, but it will be 30' shorter. On the one hand, I would think the shorter length would be better because there is more volume inside it (because it's larger diameter) and therefore more thermal inertia. On the other hand, the longer one might be better because more surface area is exposed to the wort, thereby transferring more heat.
I'm no physicist, so I pose the question to y'all. Which one is the better choice?
What if I were to spring for the 3/8"x50'? Would that be preferable to the 1/2"x20'?
The 1/4 diameter stuff is too small. The measurement is outside diameter so you are hardly moving any significant amount of water through it for efficient heat transfer. I have a 50' 3/8" one that I DIY'ed a few years ago and I have used it with no issues on batch sizes up to 11 gal. That being said, a 1/2" immersion chiller of the same length would be best but if your choice comes down to 1/2" x 25' or 3/8" x 50' I would go with the 50' option.
I agree with the 2nd post. I.bought a 50' stainless steel one on eBay a while back (3/8" x 50'). Chills 5 gals in about 20 mins or less. More surface area is preferred amd most manufacturers use the 3/8 diameter.
Another thought, after pricing the DIY method vs just buying a premade one, it ended up costing about $10 more to.buloy one... To me, $75 vs $85 was worth the expense for a few reasons:
1) it looks awesome, unlike some diy chillers that look warped... functionality is the same, but I want my stuff to look good... afterall, this thing shouldast a decade or more.
2) The ease of clicking a button and its at my door in a week... the anticipation is fun, and I don't have to go all over the store to find what I want.
3) Location... it costs me about $10 to drive into town.
If ten bucks breaks the bank, then go for it. DIY projects always bring a sense of pride too. Ecomomically, it made sense for me to just eBay the sucker...
And on the eighth day he said "Make beer!"
It depends on your application.
I used a 3/8x20' for years back when I was doing extract brewing. It cooled a 10-quart pot in about 15 minutes.
If you're looking to cool larger volumes, get the 3/8x50'.
At some point, the larger diameter tubing will become less efficient and therefore less cost-effective due to a decreasing volume to surface ratio. Not sure if that applies to going to 1/2" from 3/8.
Ex fermentum, scientia.
I'm going to second the 3/8" 50' stainless option. Just dropped 5 gallons from 210 to 80 in 10 minutes on Sunday. Easy to clean, and should last as long as I take care of it. Amazon, $70.
Primary: "Dubbel the Pleasure" Belgian Dubbel
Secondary: "The Beast" Barleywine

"You can't have a Real Country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer."
Frank Zappa
Alright, that makes sense. If I can't swing the 50' quite yet, I'll set aside what I have and then maybe get it later.
Thanks for the help!
I have this.http://www.amazon.com/50-Copper-Chil...ion+chiller+50

Articles Age of Empires III
Age of Empires is one of the most amazing and legendary civilization style strategy games that ever existed.
Now in this third part, you're taken into the New World. Players are able to develop European nations from the Age of Discovery through to the Industrial Age with Age of Empires III. There are eight playable nations that battle across a wide variety of lands - from the early beginning of the swamps of Florida to the Rocky Mountains. Age of Empires III lets you recruit Native American tribes along the way and with them, try to seize control of trade routes while being supported by your Empire back in Europe.
There's no doubt that visually, Age of Empires III looks superb with some of the best graphics ever seen in the Age of Empires series. However, Age of Empires III developers seem to have concentrated on graphics more than the realism aspect. An exception to this is the fact that you are supported by your home European nation in your quest to plunder the New World which is something unseen in previous versions.
However, it is attention to detail and unfaithfulness to the realities of history that really let Age of Empires III down. In Age of Empires III, American Indians are portrayed as mercenaries rather than spiritual tribes and gold mines suddenly appear hundreds of years before they ever did!
Age of Empires III looks great and has the potential to be a great game but the developers probably need to pay more attention to historical facts than the graphics themselves.

- Some realistic elements and gameplay
- Historical facts and scenarios wrong in parts

Panel for up to 50 percent cut in CDMA base price
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) has recommended a cut of up to 50 percent in the auction reserve price for airwaves used by phone carriers operating on the CDMA platform, raising the odds for the local unit of Russia's Sistema to continue operating in the world's second-biggest mobile phone market.
The panel on Monday recommended to the cabinet that the starting price for the airwaves be cut by 30-50 percent, two government officials told reporters. The cabinet has the final say on airwave prices.
India is betting on the revenue from phone airwave auctions and stake sales in state-run companies to plug its widening fiscal deficit. The government raised less than a quarter of its 400-billion-rupee target in a November auction.
The government is putting on the block GSM airwaves worth 200 billion rupees in the next auction, which Telecommunications Minister Kapil Sibal said is due to start from March 11. The CDMA airwaves auction will also happen in March after bidding for GSM, he said.
Sibal declined to comment on any recommendation for a cut in CDMA airwave reserve price.
India auctioned airwaves in November after a court revoked the permits of several cellular carriers and redistributed airwaves through open bidding.
The auction did not see any takers for CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) airwaves, while only part of the airwaves for more popular GSM services were sold with carriers criticising the reserve price as too high.
The government had earlier set the reserve price of CDMA airwaves at 36.4 billion rupees per megahertz for all of India's 22 telecommunication zones, or 30 percent higher than that of GSM airwaves. CDMA operators need a minimum of 2.5 megahertz of spectrum to provide services.
The CDMA airwave auction is crucial for Sistema Shyam TeleServices Ltd, which has been ordered to shut operations in all but one of India's 22 zones because it did not participate in the last auction.
The dispute over Sistema's permits has strained ties between India and Russia, which has a 17 percent stake in the company's Indian venture.
Reliance Communications, India's No.3 carrier that operates on both GSM and CDMA technology platforms, rose as much as 3.5 percent after the news. The company has not said if it is looking to bid for CDMA airwaves, but will benefit from a lower surcharge for existing airwaves.
Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Ltd, the listed unit of India's sixth-biggest carrier Tata Teleservices, also rose 2.3 percent.
Companies, whose permits have been ordered to be revoked by the Supreme Court have been asked to shut down operations by January 18. But government officials have indicated that The telecommunications ministry might seek more time for them from the Supreme Court to attract bidders in the next auction.

Left Gili Air on an 8am ferry boat loaded with empty water and beer bottles. The passengers seemed to be an after thought. We had to wade though the warm tropical sea to get on board. Didn't bother to look for life jackets as it was only a 20 minute crossing through calm sea.
We were …

With the windows down or non existent, we bumped our way back to Banjsal with a Reggae soundtrack and some power ballads. The Estonians DJ'd while everyone except me slept. Emma and one half of the Polish couple got massages while Pauline missed her boyfriend Bastian back in Lille. We hobbled out and were directed to building one (for Gili Air) and building two (for Gili T and Meno): easy.

... snorkelling but it wasn't the best experience. After picking your way over 100m of shallow reef, the current was so strong that swimming was near futile. As such, having expensed a great deal of energy getting out, we turned straight back and battled current and crashing waves to return to shore. Peckish after the exertions of the morning, we cycled the short distance up the road to Café Easy, where the gang enjoyed pizzas on the beach. Whilst the others ventured to the ...

GOOD TIMES AHEAD. With a few biscuits in my belly, as well as a strong feeling of dread, we set off at 2.45am towards the summit, following the other equally insane trekkers from our camp. We didn't hang about... within about ten ...

I have been working at Metropolitan Water District of Southern California full-time (more than an year)Pros
Great pay and benefits, probably the best compare to all the agencies out there. People are friendly and professional. Will get returned call the same day from your associates. The people actually care about their jobs and gives heart in what they do. The company culture is relaxed and fun, but professional at the same time. Because it's one of the best agencies, the selection process is extremely difficult, so only the best people get hired. You are working with experienced, highly qualified individuals. Feels like a private company but has the stability of a public agency. Every other friday off 9/80 schedule, 14 holiday, vacations, fully paid for insurance (HMO and PPO), 401k company match and pension!Cons
It's very difficult to get a job here because every job posting has over 300 applicates, so it might take awhile till you get in. But once you get in the rewards are tremendous. There are deadweights employees that linger from long time ago that really do nothing but cannot be fire because of the union. But overall everyone does their job well. Promotion wil take awhile, because it's not that many promotion opportunities come up. That's changing since half the agency is now retirement age and there will be high turnover in next couple years.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Give the younger generation and new people options for telecommuting, and alternative schedules, since many of us have families now, the strict 9/80 across the board schedule is very hard on us.RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEO

The first returns are in for the All Star voting and the Celtics are well represented. LeBron is the leading vote getter for the East as might be expected, with Carmelo Anthony not far behind. Kevin Garnett is in 3rd among front court players and would start if the voting stays in this order. In the backcourt, Rondo is second to Dwyane Wade and would also start if the voting ends this way. Remember this year, there is no center position on the ballot, just 3 generic frontcourt players. Celtics fans need to continue to vote daily.

Your employer counts on you and, it's likely that others do too. When you come to work each day, you don't stop being a parent or guardian, or the child of an aging relative, or a partner or sibling of an adult who needs care. Or perhaps you're responsible for feeding or exercising a pet. Are you a nursing mom? Wondering how to find daycare or an after-school program? Do you have a back-up plan if your dad's home-care in Floridafalls through? The HMS/HSDM and HSPH Human Resource Departments sponsor an array of on-site seminars addressing many of these work and life issues to the entire Longwood Medical Area.
Seminars are available free of charge to faculty, staff, clinicians, post docs, residents, and students at Harvard University and Harvard affiliated institutions in the Longwood Medical Area.

The Stop Internet Piracy Act or SOPA is a bill being voted on soon (or voted on yesterday?) and is one of two pieces of legislature being introduced which threatens the very foundation of the internet. I'm sure that you have already read plenty of rants online, but let me tell you a one more time. The internet is under attack!
The SOPA and Protect IP Act will enable the American government with the power to censor international websites that have users who post copy righted content. The type of censorship method proposed is the same used in countries like Iran, China and Syria. A very interesting and informative data visualization video about the Protect IP Act can be found here.
Web sites like Youtube, twitter, Google and other search engines as well as social networks will have some of the greatest number of offending users. Imagine if your daughter posts a video of herself singing the Bieb's newest song. Next thing you know there is a letter in the mail from the RIAA asking for a few thousand dollars or they will be forced to take 'further legal action'. Not just big companies will be effected but personal blogs on blogger, tumbler, et cetera. Even your very own Daily Infographic along with thousands of other internet start-ups anticipate a much more volatile internet environment. Do your part to secure the future of the internet and the future of free speech. [Via]

It's that time of year again. People stressing and pulling all-nighters for finals and sickness running wild through campus. I'm no germaphobe, but getting sick sucks and I don't mind take a few precautions to avoid it. But I had no idea that keyboards and phones could be carriers of large amounts of germs.
It's no surprise that 16% of phones have poop on them…? Not sure how they ran that statistic. But I feel pretty confident in saying that my phone does not have poop on it. People still use toilets right? Am I taking crazy pills? How does one get poop on their phone? I admit I have made a few phone calls while on the pooper, but I dont think I've managed to get poop directly on my phone.
Well that's all I have to say about today's infographic…my advice for avoiding sickness is to stay healthy and get plenty of sleep. Let your immune system take care of the random poop that enters your body. I bet you can't count the number of times I used poop in this post. [Via]

All Brad Pitt has do is walk through an airport with his kids, and the paparazzi are all over it, documenting each expression, each movement of his mane, as if it is edifying for the world to see one so famous doing something so refreshingly normal. No offense to Brad and his brood, but as good of an actor as he is or isn't, what is with the celebrity obsession? I guiltily check People.com too, so I can't throw any stones, but when the Academy Awards Ceremony airs, it always astounds me how many incredibly talented, and often unrecognized, people it takes to make one film. The actors are just a front for a cast of musicians, directors, cinematographers, make-up artists, costume designers, butt doubles and (lest I forget the lesson of Wag the Dog) producers.
In the spirit of looking past the familiar faces to the hardworking artists behind the scenes, today's infographic shows a few do-it-yourself tricks of the trade for filmmakers or wannabe filmmakers on a budget. [via]

As most students would tell you, education is part of our identity. We may not enjoy every moment of learning, but we know that it is part of who we are and that it is how we will get to where we want to be. Education is instinctual, we begin learning instantly, taking in sights and sounds to make sense of the world. We are all products of education, but the education process has changed dramatically through the ages.
Great technological advances have influenced the accessibility of education, seeing numbers just skyrocket up to 600,000+ and having the "technology" used go from cave drawings to every student having laptops. I do love being in this technologically advanced age where many have opportunities for education, but I must say I love the idea of being a sophoclean philosopher in Ancient Greece! [Via]

With all the things in the news these days it seems like some of the issue that used to be at the forefront have taken a back seat. Today we have things like the joke that is the GOP's race for a presidential nominee, thank you Rick Perry for giving us laughs. If you haven't seen the clip of my current Governor looking ridiculous check it out here. This along with the Herman Cain aka "Black Walnut" scandal has kept the media outlets quite busy, although it would be nice to get some real news every so often. Why is it so hard to find a good candidate, I know Republicans aren't all as crazy as the ones that seem to be representing them. Not to mention the wars we are fighting and of course there is occupy wall street.
Anyway today's infographic topic is oil, remember when everyone was freaking out about the price increases? And are we still looking for alternative resources of fuel? Unfortunately, what looked like the Obama administration's attempt to invest in green energy went horribly wrong when Solyndra went bankrupt. Today's infographic Peak Oil suggests when a country discovers oil it will increase production exponentially until it peaks and begins its decline. Why does this matter? Because it is possible Saudi Arabia, the ones controlling oil prices, will potentially be peaking between 2012 and 2017. With reports showing they may be lying about the number of barrels they have, by as many as 300 billion barrels.
Did you know we are experiencing our own oil boom here in the United States? Currently North Dakota is experiencing and oil boom which is helping its economy but wreaking havoc on their infrastructure, namely not enough living space. [via]

Docs struggle to make ends meet
The Wall Street Journal, March 15, 2012
It is a dilemma facing practices around the country as the U.S. begins a transition toward new ways of paying for healthcare. Insurers are increasingly targeting the traditional system that has paid hospitals and doctors for each service provided (rewarding them for more care but not better results). But to effect these changes, doctors often must make a major financial commitment. That means upgrading their information-technology systems, adding support staff and getting special training to do the kind of outreach and coordination that make a practice a "medical home."

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Detroit Lions tried to trade for Patrick Peterson in 2011 draft
Back in April 2011, the Arizona Cardinals had the fifth pick in the draft and a bevvy of needs.
Coming off a 5-11 season, the team needed help at quarterback, offensive line and secondary, and could have benefited from an improved pass rush, too.
The Panthers took QB Cam Newton from Auburn first, the Broncos selected Texas A&M pass rusher Von Miller second, the Bills tabbed Alabama defensive end Marcell Dareus third and the Bengals added Georgia receiver A.J. Green with the fourth pick.
The Cardinals were up, and according to Dave Birkett of the the Detroit Free Press, passed on at least one trade offer before taking cornerback Patrick Peterson out of LSU.
In a story detailing how Lions GM Martin Mayhew is willing to make big trades, Birkett recalls the deal that never happened.
In 2011, Mayhew tried to trade up from 13 to 5 to land Patrick Peterson, offering his first-, second- and fourth-round choices. Ultimately, the Arizona Cardinals wanted to stay put so they could take a player that's now one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL.
The Lions ended up taking defensive lineman Nick Fairley from Auburn with their first-round pick and Boise St. receiver Titus Young with their second. Their fourth-round pick ended up being traded to the Seattle Seahawks, who took receiver Kris Durham from Georgia.
As for the Cardinals, they got a player who has been to three Pro Bowls in three seasons -- once as a punt returner and twice as a cornerback.
Peterson has intercepted 12 passes in three seasons and has emerged as one of the NFL's better defensive backs.
Sometimes teams benefit from trades. Often times they benefit more from the deals they don't make.

Adblue is also commonly known as the Diesel Exhaust Fluid. It is actually an aqueous urea solution that is a mixture of high purity urea and deionised water, in the ratio of 32.5 percent and 67.5 percent respectively. The Adblue is a solution that is highly useful in the Selective Catalytic Reduction technology, which is fitted with the exhaust of the vehicle and helps in reducing the harmful emissions of Nitrogen Dioxide in the air. According to the new pollution control guidelines, this system has become a highly significant aspect that contributes greatly in reducing the pollution.
According to the Euro 4 Diesel engine emission legislation, the use of Adblue has become pivotal to meet the guidelines effectively. The trend of vehicle engines fitted with SCR technology is catching up, and soon there would be thousands of trucks and vehicles that would be using this new technology to help contribute in saving the environment. However, there are many problems that the users might face with the Adblue, because first of all, the people are not used to using Adblue. And, it will take time for the Adblue to become a necessity for all the users. This is why many users would want to go for the Adblue Removal. The main reasons why people go for Adblue Removal are –
- There is a huge cost associated with using Adblue. Around 1.5 litres of Adblue fluid is needed for every 100 km, which means additional cost. Considering annual expenses on Adblue, it sums up to be a handsome amount.
- The SCR technology that uses the Adblue fluid is very sensitive and if there are any impurities found in the Adblue solution, there can be problems with the SCR unit. The repairing costs can be really high for that. Also, it is not an easy job to maintain such a sensitive technology for many people.
- If the truck or bus that has an SCR system, it is essential to have an adequate amount of Adblue in the tank. If the Adblue runs out, the vehicle might stop or get into the Limp mode.
- Even though there are cheaper Adblue solutions available, they are not recommended by the Adblue and it voids the warranty if the cheaper or diluted Adblue solution is found in the Adblue tank.
Adblue removal seems like an obvious choice of many people who want to lower their operating cost. As the SCR system is mostly found in trucks, bus and heavy vehicles, the commercial house that owns it find it difficult to maintain expensive SCR technology and add to their annual expenses. In such circumstances, it becomes necessary to go for Adblue removal. For best quotes on Adblue removal services, you may visit Ecuflash.

The holiday season is one of my favorite times of year. I
love the opportunities it brings to spend time with my family and friends,
enjoying good fellowship and good food in the process.
And to top it all off, we get to celebrate the birth of our
Savior. It's truly an amazing time.
As a pastor for the last 25 years, I am extremely grateful
and appreciative of being part of loving church families. But I have to admit that
the holidays can also be a busy and stressful time for those in ministry
leadership. You've got musicals, Christmas parties, dinners, family
engagements, ministry outreach efforts, a sermon to put together each week and
possibly a Christmas Eve worship service to prepare for one of the two highest
attended gatherings of your church year.
I've made my share of mistakes during the holiday seasons
and I've also learned some things in the process. Here are a few of the
practices that have helped me have a more fruitful and rejuvenating holiday
Know that
you don't have to go through the stressful holiday season alone. If you need
someone to talk with, please consider calling our new SBC Pastoral Care Line at
844-PASTOR1. It's completely confidential and free to

the birth of our Lord.

Margin, exercise critical for pastors during busy, stressful holiday seasonSend Network | Pastors for Pastors
Date Created: 11/24/2014 1:42:56 PM
By Tobin Perry
GALLATIN, Tenn. -- Miss a Sunday
School Christmas party, lose a church member. That's a lesson 25-year ministry
veteran Larry Yarborough refused to concede to when confronted by a typically
well-adjusted church member who left the church after Yarborough missed a
Sunday School Christmas party.
"And here's the thing—He fully
expected me to know why he wasn't at the church," said Yarborough (@yarbdaddy), pastor of First Baptist Church of Gallatin. "I had no idea why he hadn't been to church. I called him
and asked. He said, 'Well, you just wasn't good enough to come to my Christmas
Though the interaction may sound
ridiculous to some, for many pastors it's a reality—and a large contributor to
turning what should be one of the most festive times of the year into one of
the tensest for ministry leaders. Besides preparing for some of the most
anticipated worship services of the year, overseeing expanded Christmas
outreach and musical efforts and counseling an increased number of people
facing specific holiday issues, pastors typically must juggle numerous last-minute
invitations to Christmas parties. That's all on top of a typically expanded
family calendar during the season.
"While all of those ministry
opportunities are fantastic, they add stress to a pastor's life," said Rob
Futral (@robfutral), pastor of Broadmoor Baptist Church
in Madison, Miss. "It takes additional energy that a pastor sometimes doesn't
have. I think about Jesus, when the woman touched Him and the crowd was all
around Him, but He knew some energy had left Him. I certainly feel that during
the holidays when I'm giving of myself. The holiday season is life-giving but
with all the expectations and stress, it can be life-taking for pastors as
Michael Lewis, the North American
Mission Board's executive director
for pastoral care and development, says it's a pastor's family that often takes the brunt of
these additional holiday stresses.
"I think for a pastor, margins
are critical,' said Lewis (@pastor4pastors).
"I say that out of pain. This is an area I struggled with, particularly when
our girls were young. I think a pastor needs to give himself the opportunity to
say no to some of these demands."
Lewis reminds pastors who need
someone to talk with in the midst of holiday stress that NAMB has set up a free
and confidential care line for Southern Baptist pastors through a partnership
with Focus
on the Family. To access the care
line, pastors can call 1-844-PASTOR1. The line is open to all Southern Baptist
ministers, missionaries, chaplains and their spouses.
Financial overextension can be
another contributor to pastoral stress during the holidays. Jared Pingleton,
who serves as the director of the counseling team for Focus on the Family, says
while the organization doesn't typically see a large uptick in the number of
calls to their pastor care line during the holidays, they do see an increase
during the middle of January when credit card bills arrive.
"Our culture sets us up that we're supposed to get all of this stuff—this materialistic [overindulgence]," Pingleton said. "There is nothing psychologically healthy about that. That sets us up for disappointment and failure."
Pingleton also notes that church
expectations related to the cheerfulness of pastors and their families during
the holidays can be an additional factor.
"There's no expectation in June
or July to be happy—it's only during Jesus' birthday that we have this cultural
expectation," Pingleton said. "We take everything away from His birthday, and
we put everything else on our emotional state—our entitled indulgence, our
romantic fulfillment, our materialist satisfaction and our extended family
harmony. What a quintuple whammy! It sets us up for disappointment."
While the reality that pastors
face additional stress throughout the holiday season may be beyond reasonable
debate, spiritual leaders have a variety of tools to deal with the stress.
Yarborough believes exercise plays a critical role as a natural way to relieve
stress. Lewis and Yarborough also urge pastors to set a limit on holiday
parties—one area of a pastor's Christmas calendar where there is flexibility.
Yet they both say that decision carries its own potential landmines.
"We set a limit on how many
Christmas parties we can go to in a year," Yarborough said. "We'll go to
three—maybe four—a year and maybe even none. And honestly, I can really catch
it for that."
Lewis tells pastors not only to set
limits but also to call ahead of time when you can't make an event. Make sure
your absence is clearly communicated. He also recommends trying to find a
retired pastor or a director of missions to lead a church's Christmas Eve
service every third year or so. This practice will allow a pastor's family to
attend out-of-town family gatherings and participate in normal Christmas
festivities together.
"The whole reason for Christmas
is so we can celebrate the life that God gives us in Christ," Futral said. "You
have to start with what's most important. Make that your priority and then add
the other things after that."
