Growing up, I remember my parents telling me that it would be good for me to read my Bible.
My Bible had a soft blue cover and it appeared more worn than it should have -- because all I did was bring it to church and then bring it back home. That ride in the car -- in an elementary to middle school student's hand -- must have been torture on the pages. I'm pretty sure it was missing the last few pages of Revelations, as well.
I realized that my parents were happy when I read the book, and I was starting to hear more references to Scripture in Sunday school, so I decided to read something. My first choice, because my name is Daniel, was obviously Daniel. I read about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego more times than I can count. Finally, I now know how to pronounce the name Nebuchadnezzar -- at least I think I can. But I never really wandered out of that book at that time because the Bible was so big. It intimidated me.
So like many people, I relied on the stories told by my Sunday school teacher to make up my biblical worldview. I knew about Jonah, Noah, Abraham, Joseph and a lot about Jesus and some about Paul and his letters. But the stories weren't connected. I still didn't have the big picture.
I was 15 years old when I first believed in Christ, and my whole world changed. In faith, I picked up the old tattered Bible and began to read stories outside of Daniel. The gospels were my starting point, and I moved into Paul's letters.
To be honest, it wasn't until college and seminary that I cracked the Old Testament beyond Genesis. I peeked here and there, but it was a world I did not understand until some professors took the time to explain that world to me.
Now I read Scripture like it's a good piece of fresh bread. It fills me up and gives me energy for the rest of my day. Each time I read through a book, I see something new. My world changes as I understand God's story in the past and how I am connected to this world that really isn't so different from my own.
I see Abraham today in a man leading a family that is struggling to survive. I see Joshua on the battlefield leading troops and making a home for the people of the world. I see Isaiah in a woman on television speaking against our excesses and injustice. Like in the gospels, Jesus' disciples currently surround us. And the spirit of Paul and the early church of Acts are in the people who care for the sick and help those who have fallen somehow, telling them the good news of the kingdom of God.
Great stories of people grappling with a holy God are wrapped in the Scriptures. You don't have to go to seminary to learn to love them. Simply open the pages and begin to read. Add a quick link to Wikipedia and a study Bible from the bookstore, and you can learn to immerse yourself.
The exploration is much better than any fantasy or sci-fi book I have ever read. The suspense holds you as you hear the world cry out for a savior. God is and was in conversation with his people in the world. That conversation is an important one for us to own for our time and for ourselves.

NetApp: 5 Steps to Choosing an Enterprise-class Cloud Service Provider
How do you go about selecting the Cloud service provider that's just right for your business? Loh Ching Soo, Country Manager, NetApp Singapore offers up a five-step approach.
"1) Determine your requirements. Unlike core defined services and IT applications that are customised to the needs of the business and central to competitive advantage, non-core applications such as VDI, CRM, web applications as well as development and testing, are good candidates for the cloud because of the flexibility and agility of the data. By outsourcing these workloads, companies can benefit from the accelerated time to market, added flexibility, and economies of scale that a service provider offers."
"2) Identify and screen promising service providers. Once companies have identified their requirements, it's time to identify promising service providers with the right portfolio of services to meet the company's needs. Look for evidence that shows whether each service provider has experienced serving enterprises like yours. These include sample customer lists, reputation, track record, and existing customer base. Service providers with experience in your company's industry or have similar customers are likely to understand your business and technology needs."
"3) Do they truly provide enterprise-class service? CIOs and IT leaders should look into a tailored two-phase evaluation process that begins with defining the company's SLA needs. Evaluate the list of promising candidates and narrow it down to only those that offer the enterprise-class service which meets your company's business needs. The right service provider should be able to show that they have the necessary physical and logical controls in place to meet your needs."
"4) ROI: Assess returns and hidden costs. Key areas for ROI that should be evaluated include savings in infrastructure spending and reviewing of opportunity cost to make better use of staff and resources, as well as the value of risk mitigation from business continuity, off-site disk-based backup, and/or disaster recovery services. Finally, look for hidden costs, benefits, and pricing details such as contract features, flexibility, and timing for the functionality and services that your company needs."
"5) Think long-term. Make a strategic choice and choose a service provider that can handle your company's current and long-term resources and requirements. By using the four steps showcased above, your company will be well on the way to selecting the appropriate service provider for your enterprise's specific business and technical needs—one that will not only manage your current projects, but also be able to take on additional projects as you grow.

|"(When Your Heart's on Fire)
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"
|Single by Gertrude Niesen
(with Ray Sinatra and his Orchestra)
|October 13, 1933
|Ray Sinatra
"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is a show tune written by American composer Jerome Kern and lyricist Otto Harbach for their 1933 musical Roberta. The song was sung in the original Broadway show by Tamara Drasin. Its first recorded performance was by Gertrude Niesen, who recorded the song with orchestral direction from Ray Sinatra, Frank Sinatra's second cousin,[1] on October 13, 1933. Niesen's recording of the song was released by Victor, catalog# VE B 24454, with the B-side, "Jealousy", featuring Isham Jones and his Orchestra.[2]
Paul Whiteman had the first hit recording of the song on the record charts in 1934.[3] The song was later reprised by Irene Dunne, who performed it in the original 1935 film adaptation of the musical, co-starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers and Randolph Scott. The song was also included in the 1952 remake of Roberta, Lovely to Look At, in which it was performed by Kathryn Grayson, and was a chart hit in 1958 for The Platters.

Later recordings
The song has been covered by numerous artists; the first being Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra, with a vocal performance from Bob Lawrence. This version of the song topped music charts in 1934.[4] Other early covers of the song include that of the Tommy Dorsey orchestra, who released their contemporary version in 1938, with His Master's Voice. The B-side to Dorsey's single was "Night And Day".[5] During the mid-to-late 1930s Larry Adler and Henry Hall recorded live radio performances of the song on BBC Radio broadcasts; Adler's rendition, a complex, syncopated, harmonic arrangement,[6] and Hall's, a full orchestral performance with the BBC orchestra and a vocal performance from Dan Donovan. Henry Hall's version was also released as a 10" single.[7] Art Tatum said in an introduction to a 1955 performance of the song that he performed "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" in the 1930s, contributing to the song's popularity. However, it is unclear whether Tatum recorded the song during that decade; if a recording was made at that time, it may not have survived to the present day.[8]
In 1941 the Benny Goodman Orchestra first performed the song during recorded radio performances with Helen Forrest. Forrest chose to leave the ensemble during the early part of 1941,[9] and Goodman then began performing the song with her replacement Peggy Lee,[10] whose recording, from a Mutual sustaining broadcast, was later released on a double long-play album; named Benny And Sid "Roll 'Em", the album consisted of an assortment of live radio broadcasts by the group.[11] Glenn Miller conducted his rendition of the song at Abbey Road Studios in 1944. Owing to his sudden death later that year, his orchestral version of the song was not released until 1995.[12] On October 30, 1946 Nat "King" Cole recorded the song, with Oscar Moore playing guitar and Johnny Miller playing bass as the "King Cole Trio". Cole's recording was made during a live WMCA radio broadcast from New York.[13] Later, in 1957, Cole performed the song live on his television variety show The Nat King Cole Show.[14] Though it was not released until some years later, Harry Belafonte made a recording of the song in 1949 with jazz saxophonist Zoot Sims. This was one of Belafonte's first recordings. Sims' performance on the track would later be parodied by the character inspired by him, in episode 2.02 of The Muppet Show, which aired on December 10, 1977.
In 1950 Charlie Parker and Jo Stafford each released versions of the song on their respective albums, Bird at St. Nick's and Autumn in New York. Thelonious Monk released the song in 1954 on his album Monk. On his 1955 album Clifford Brown with Strings, Clifford Brown released a cover of the song. In 1956 Vic Damone covered the song, with a very different arrangement, as a part of his album That Towering Feeling!.[15] Damone's version became one of his most famous songs.[citation needed] Dinah Washington released the song in 1956, on her album Dinah!. Jeri Southern named her 1957 album When Your Heart's On Fire after a lyric from the song; the album features her version of the song. The same year as Nat King Cole's televised performance of the song, Polly Bergen performed the song during the series premiere of her variety show The Polly Bergen Show, originally airing September 21, 1957.[16] In 1958 Sarah Vaughan released her rendition on her album, No Count Sarah.
Eartha Kitt versions
In a series of recording sessions with Henri René and his Orchestra in 1952, sessions that garnered the tracks for her first five albums, RCA Victor Presents Eartha Kitt, That Bad Eartha (2xEP), That Bad Eartha (LP), Down To Eartha, and Thursday's Child, as well as her hit single, "Santa Baby", Eartha Kitt first recorded "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" for RCA Victor. This version of the song was first released on her 1954 album That Bad Eartha. A complete list of orchestra members used during the Henri René recording sessions can be read here. In the early 1990s Kitt re-recorded the song, as part of her work with a small jazz combo in Germany, in a recording session arranged by brothers Rolf Kühn and Joachim Kühn. These recordings were preserved by the 1998 release of Thinking Jazz. Kitt re-recorded the song again for the release of her MAC Cosmetics Smoke Signals collection. The new recording of the song was played at all MAC locations carrying the collection for the month. In addition, she performed the song in a music video that was showcased on the MAC website the same month.[17]

Possibly the most well-known version of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" was recorded in 1958 by The Platters, for their album Remember When?. The group's cover became a number one hit in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 music chart. In 1959 the version went on to peak at number three on the Rhythm and Blues chart.[19] The song spent 20 weeks on the UK charts, peaking at Number 1 for one week on 20 March of that same year.[20] The Platters' producer, Buck Ram, reported that Harbach "congratulated Buck Ram and the Platters for reviving his song with taste."[18] Jerome Kern's widow, on the other hand, disliked the recording so much she considered taking legal action to prevent its distribution.[21]

Margaret Whiting released the song on her 1960 album Margaret Whiting Sings the Jerome Kern Songbook. In 1961 Cannonball Adderley released the song on his album African Waltz. Bandleader Ray Conniff first released his arrangement of the song in 1962, on his double album The Ray Conniff Hi-Fi Companion;[28] it became one of the signature songs of his career.[citation needed] Saxophone player Boots Randolph released an instrumental version of the song on the B-side of his LP Yakety Sax in 1963.[29] On February 2, 1964, Judy Garland performed the song in a comical performance on the nineteenth episode of her variety television series, The Judy Garland Show. In her performance she sings longingly, sitting at a small table, as the house around her burns down; firefighters hack down the door behind her as she sits unfazed singing to the camera. A number of firefighters flee up the staircase, for which smoke billows down, in an attempt to douse the fire. When their attempts fail, they proceed to empty the room of its contents, presumably running them to the street. Eventually, after the room has been completely emptied, one man returns to save Garland; he grabs her by her waist, throwing her over his shoulder. Garland is still clutching the back of the chair she once sat on, now dragging it across the room as the firefighter carries her out. Throughout the scene, she never stops singing.[30]
A remake of the song by British band Blue Haze, formed by Johnny Arthey and Phil Swern,[31] also became popular; it was released as a lead single in 1972,[32] and the following year on their eponymous album, Blue Haze.[33] In 1973 the group Byron Lee and the Dragonaires released a version of the song on their studio album Reggae Round The World.[34] Bryan Ferry recorded a quavering version of the song in 1974 on the album Another Time, Another Place, which reached number 17 on the UK charts in September 1974.[citation needed] Penny McLean, of the West German band Silver Convention, released a solo version in 1975 on her album Lady Bump; her version reached #6 on Billboard Disco Singles.[35] In 1982 country singer Narvel Felts released the song as a 7-inch single; it charted at number eighty-four in the US on Billboards's country chart. Freddie Mercury is rumored to have recorded the song for an unreleased album of cover versions in 1986. The only cover Mercury is confirmed to have finished from the project is "The Great Pretender"; all other recordings are reported to be no more than fragments.[36] A cover of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" was released by Patti Austin in 1988 on her number-four jazz album The Real Me. In 1989, the same year Dinah Washington's rendition of the song was used in the film Kill Me Again, J. D. Souther performed the song on stage in the film Always.[37]
In 1993 Elaine Paige released a version of the song on her album Romance & the Stage. Jerry Garcia, who was named after Jerome Kern, released a music video in the early 1990s covering the song, with actress Ashley Judd sitting in the background listening. Garcia's rendition of the song was later used in the independent film Smoke, released in 1995. The film also had an official soundtrack release which included The Jerry Garcia Band's version.[38] David Sanborn released a cover of the song in 1995 on his album Pearls.[39] John Alford released the song as a CD single[40] from his eponymous debut album[41] in 1996; the single peaked at number thirteen on the UK Singles Chart. In the 1999 film Tea With Mussolini, Cher's character sings the last verse of the song, tenderly. Kurt Elling covered the song on his 2000 live album Live in Chicago; the album was nominated for a Grammy the following year for Best Vocal Jazz Album. Clare Fischer and Bert van den Brink released their version of the song on their joint album, Bert van den Brink Invites Clare Fischer, in 2001. The song has also been translated into Lithuanian by Vytautas Bložė around 2003; in Lithuanian the song is "Žiedų Pūga". Alison Jiear recorded a version of the song with new orchestral arrangements written by Mychael Danna in 2004 for the film Being Julia, the song was also featured in the official soundtrack for the film.[42] Deborah Cox released her cover of the song on her 2007 jazz album Destination Moon; she recorded the track in a live session with a forty-piece orchestra. In 2008, on his album Let It Be Me, Jason Donovan covered the song. Barbra Streisand recorded the song for her thirty-second album Love Is the Answer, released on September 29, 2009. Johnny Dankworth covered the song on his 2010 album Too Cool For The Blues.

Your Classic TV post for today features the Joe McCarthy era Yankees of Joe DiMaggio, Lefty Gomez, and Tommy Heinrich going up against the Casey Stengel era Yankees of Mickey Mantle, Hank Bauer, and Billy Martin in this episode of Sports Challenge from 1972.
Dick Enberg hosted Sports Challenge, a pretty straight-forward question-and-answer team quiz show. They show a clip of a sporting event, then ask a question about it. Besides Enberg, the only surviving person from this clip is Henrich, the fifth oldest former MLB player and the only surviving member of the 1938 World Champion Yankees.
I think the most impressive thing about this clip is that the distance to the gap in left center at Old Yankee Stadium used to be a whopping 402 feet . No wonder the right-handed DiMaggio never made it to 400 homers.
Head on over to Kliph Nesteroff's Classic Television Showbiz blog to see the rest of the episode, including a special mystery guest at the end that neither team can identify.

To adopt a child in Idaho, contact a social worker, schedule an initial orientation meeting, complete an adoptive parent application, go through 27-hour training sessions, and pass a home assessment to get a license and approval. Applicants must pass background checks and schedule meetings with foster support groups.Continue Reading
Prospective parents in Idaho begin the adoption process by requesting adoption information from Idaho's Department of Health and Welfare. The department sends a social worker who answers questions on adoption and signs up potential foster parents for an initial orientation meeting. The meeting familiarizes you with the adoption process, the children who need care, and the responsibilities of foster parents. The meeting also outlines the challenges of foster parenthood and the backgrounds of the children who need care.
After the initial orientation meeting, a social worker takes you through the application process. The application requires you to provide personal details and apply for a background check. When the Department of Health and Welfare approves your application, register for the foster/adoption training where you create rapport with the adoption agency and develop as a resource parent. After this training, a social worker comes to your home to assess your family relationships, living conditions, and the support system you have available. When you pass the assessment, the department approves your application and gives you an adoption license.Learn more about Adoption

Buzz Cut:
• GOP Power Index: It's playoff time
• Obama moves forward on gun edict
• Sunni-Shia tensions trouble for Hillary
• Bubba stumps amid feud with old pal Trump
• What's Kyrgyz for 'I meant that in a good way'?
It would be unfair – cruel, even – to say that the previous year of reporting on the Republican nomination process was for naught. But, well…
Think of it this way, sports fans. What happened in the GOP field before Labor Day was like the preseason. Favorites are picked, ranked and predicted. Then, the real schedule starts.
And, like in football, the regular season is far better at telling us who won't be the champion than who will be. Like the Indianapolis Colts or the Philadelphia Eagles in this NFL season, there are always some Jeb Bushes and Scott Walkers every political cycle.
Now, we're in the final weeks of the season as the survivors, including some surprising standouts, fight desperately for their spots in the playoffs.
So it's not that the months (and months and months) of campaign coverage have been for nothing at all. It's just that it has all been for the purpose of determining what the next 12 weeks will look like. You can't be in contention now if you had a bad 2015. But all a good 2015 can buy you is a chance to advance.
Like the pros, all the candidates need is a slot – even a wild card berth – to play for the title.
That's why we offer the GOP Power Index.
The point is to see who has the best chance to come through the sprint from here to Super Tuesday on March 15 as the real frontrunner for the GOP nomination. And since we are now just 28 days from voters starting to have their say, we can expect interest to intensify as they get serious about choosing.
And what makes this so fascinating – other than the future of the republic and all that jazz – is that there is so much we can't really know. But we can guess.
Will polling frontrunner Donald Trump be able to convert his support among non-Republicans into Republican primary votes? The fact that Trump is now airing television ads instead of just noshing on the all-you-can-eat buffet of free news coverage suggests that he's starting to think more seriously about the need to mobilize his coalition.
Will Ted Cruz survive what is shaping up to be an all-out assault from his fellow conservatives looking to block him Iowa? And will Trump decide to attack Cruz if his longtime frenemy looks like a serious threat? Birtherism could suddenly become a bipartisan avocation for Trump.
Will Marco Rubio be able to outrun the chilly New Hampshire clutches of both Bush and, more dangerously, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie? Rubio stacks up well for a stretch run, but Bush and Christie would love to hobble him.
Our bet, for now, is that Bush and Christie are at least partially right and will be able to put enough of a dent into Rubio to deny him the nod. The two spurned former frontrunners have five ugly weeks to leave the GOP establishment divided heading into March. We also think that Cruz will have an easier time turning out the GOP base in primaries than Trump will have in re-engineering it.
And that's why we continue to rank Cruz's chances as best to be the nominee. Bush and Christie will keep the GOP establishment divided for too long and Cruz, who has tens of millions of dollars in reserve, will be set to take advantage of this unprecedented moment.
But, like they say: That's why they play the game.
1) Ted Cruz; 2) Marco Rubio; 3) Donald Trump; 4) Chris Christie [+2]; 5) Jeb Bush [-1]; 6) Carly Fiorina [-1]
On the radar - Ben Carson, John Kasich and Rand Paul

Rubio hits rivals in national security speech - In an early release of Sen. Marco Rubio's speech on national security today in New Hampshire, the Florida senator knocks rivals Donald Trump and Ted Cruz for their positions saying, "…we have Republican candidates who propose that rulers like Assad and Putin should be partners of the United States…We have isolationist candidates who are apparently more passionate about weakening our military and intelligence capabilities than about destroying our enemies."
Jeb's N.H. ad blitz continues with ISIS spot - In a new television ad airing in New Hampshire today, Jeb Bush talks about needing to get tough, and use force against ISIS. The ad comes ahead of Bush's three-day swing in the state.
Santorum knocks Cruz in first television ad of the cycle – Former Sen. Rick Santorum is going negative on Iowa frontrunner Ted Cruz in Santorum's bid for a Hawkeye State comeback. Santorum's first television ad of the cycle mock's Cruz's reading of children's books on the Senate floor saying, "You want someone to read one helluva bedtime story, Ted Cruz is your guy."
Christie makes the case for his candidacy - In prepared remarks for a speech in New Hampshire today, Gov. Chris Christie intends to address the division within the GOP saying, "There's been a lot of wild talk lately about third-party runs, or a brokered convention, or big GOP donors switching to the Democrats if they don't like our nominee…any significant division within the Republican Party leads to the same awful result – Hillary Clinton taking the oath of office in January 2017."
Novelist Ian Fleming wanted an ordinary name for his extraordinary leading man. Fleming was in Jamaica working on the book that would become "Casino Royale," when the author, a bird watcher himself, came across a new book by a leading ornithologist on the birds of the West Indies. The name of the scholar? You guessed it: James Bond After the book was out, Fleming wrote the real Bond to ask his forgiveness for the appropriation. Bond eventually acceded, and the two would even later meet. Fleming even offered Bond unlimited use of his own name, as he wrote to Bond's wife: "I can only offer you or James Bond unlimited use of the name Ian Fleming for any purposes you may think fit. Perhaps one day your husband will discover a particularly horrible species of bird which he would like to christen in an insulting fashion by calling it Ian Fleming."

Real Clear Politics Averages

General Election: Clinton vs. Trump – Clinton +4.8 points
Generic Congressional Vote: Republicans +0.7
President Obama is set to make an audacious move on guns and there's little doubt as to why: relevance. A much-hyped meeting with his attorney general today serves as a precursor to a State of the Union speech to be delivered just days before Democrats debate and as the formal process of Hillary Clinton's racking up delegates to become the party's standard bearer begins.
In short, this may well be the president's last chance to put his stamp on the Democratic party. Forecasting his much used pen and phone tactics, the messaging has been that the president "can't just sit around" on guns. But we have been here before. His influence waning, the central question is will Obama be trolling Republicans on an issue that his executive action ultimately does little to address, or will it be another example of a sweeping attempt to bypass Congress and challenge existing law.
["Nearly 4,000 regulations are squirming their way through the federal bureaucracy in the last year of Barack Obama's presidency — many costing industry more than $100 million — in a mad dash by the White House to push through government actions affecting everything from furnaces to gun sales to Guantanamo." Politico reports.]
Congress tees up ObamaCare repeal vote - Fox News: "The effort is set to begin Tuesday afternoon when the House Rules Committee meets on the repeal measure, with a full debate and vote as early as Tuesday. With the Republican-led Senate having already passed its version…Obama will undoubtedly veto the measure to undo his signature health care law, and Congress has nowhere near the votes to override a presidential veto. But Republicans hope the entire exercise might start to change the circumstance on Capitol Hill regarding the years-old argument about ObamaCare and its repeal. House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is promising to unveil a bill to in fact replace ObamaCare.'"
President Obama once explained that the only way that we would really be able to deal with ISIS completely was for Shia and Sunni Muslims to come to better terms with each other. Which would be a little like saying that in order to make breakfast, we're going to need to teach the cows to lay eggs.
As ISIS' reign of terror has continued and expanded throughout the Muslim world and, more recently, shown the ability to strike inside the West, Obama has adopted a more bellicose approach. But his plans for the region have still substantially hinged on his engineering a new balance between the centers of power in the 1,400-year sectarian conflict: Shia Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia.
So, about that…
An escalating confrontation between the Saudis and the Iranians is threatening to plunge the region into even deeper chaos. This is bad business, especially coming as it does with the nuclear deal with Iran Obama had hoped would be the new beam for the altered balance of power looking balky. The Saudis have been on high alert as Obama has sought to bring Iran to the big leagues, and the current tensions may be seen as part of that.
Remember: it will be what Obama does or doesn't do on national security that will do the most to define the chances of his former secretary of state. While Obama's job approval has hovered in the low and middle 40s for months, his scores on national security and fighting Islamist militants have been very poor since terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif. over the previous two months.
If Obama's sectarian engineering goes further awry, chances of him getting to pick his own successor in Clinton will diminish rapidly.
Real life heroes behind Benghazi battle on 'The Kelly File' - Ahead of the release later this month of the big-budget thriller, "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi," Megyn Kelly sits down in an exclusive interview with the three of the real-life heroes from the Sept. 11, 2012 attack who inspired the movie. Watch "The Kelly File" tonight at 9 p.m. ET.
NYT: "Mr. Clinton's first solo outing on the campaign trail on his wife's behalf comes as the Republican Donald J. Trump has intensified his attacks against the 42nd president. …'I'm the only one that's willing to talk about his problems,' Mr. Trump told CBS News on Sunday. 'I mean, what he did and what he has gone through I think is frankly terrible, especially if she wants to play the woman card.'… Despite drawing attention to the scandals of the 1990s, Mrs. Clinton needs her husband's help in New Hampshire, where he remains widely popular and where she has trailed Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont in many recent polls."
Bernie gives Hillary free pass - "We have enormous problems facing this country, and I think we got more things to worry about than Bill Clinton's sexual life,' Sanders said on ABC's 'This Week,'…"
Emails: Top Clinton adviser doled out favors to Dem bundler - Politico: "Hillary Clinton's former chief of staff Cheryl Mills did a favor for a former Bill Clinton staffer-turned-Hillary campaign donor, giving the auto dealer, who was heavily invested in China, access to a bilateral U.S.-China event at the State Department where he could promote his private business interests. In spring 2011, Mills invited Thomas 'Mack' McLarty, Bill Clinton's former White House chief of staff, to attend the official dinner after McLarty asked for access because of 'our substantial family investment in the automotive sector (including electric vehicle development in China).'"
WMUR: "Republican incumbent Kelly Ayotte's campaign entered the new year with more than $6 million in total cash on hand….Ayotte raised more than $2 million during the fourth quarter of 2015, from Oct. 1-Dec. 31. Ayotte, first elected in 2010, faces Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan in a race that is already attracting national attention and could be pivotal in deciding which party has control of the Senate when a new president takes office in 2017. As WMUR.com also reported exclusively at midnight on Monday, Hassan raised nearly $2.1 million during the quarter, according to an official of her campaign."
BBC: "A Scottish mine worker has reportedly been arrested in Kyrgyzstan, after comparing its national dish to a horse's penis on Facebook. Michael McFeat, from Abernethy, was said to have been held after posting a picture of Kyrgyz co-workers queuing for a 'chuchuk' horsemeat sausage. The caption compared the dish to a stallion's genitalia, AFP reported. The news agency said his co-workers were so upset that they called a strike at the Kumtor goldmine where he works. Mr McFeat has deleted the post but put an apology on his Facebook page on Saturday… A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are in contact with the local authorities after a British national was detained in Kyrgyzstan and are ready to provide consular assistance." It was reported that Mr McFeat faces up to five years in prison."

Panoramic photograph taken by renowned photographer James Blakeway.
This twilight panorama of downtown Chicago was taken by James Blakeway. On the far left, reflecting on a partially frozen Lake Michigan is Shedd Aquarium. Moving right is the tallest building in Chicago, the Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower. It is easily identified by its multi-tiered design and two communication antennas. At the time of its completion in 1974, it was the tallest building in the world and held this rank for nearly 25 years. Further right in the background with a single antenna, is the second tallest building, Trump International Hotel and Tower. Aon Center, the tallest building to the right of Trump Tower, is the third tallest building in Chicago.

WASHINGTON — In a symbolic show of opposition, resurgent House Republicans are eyeing an early up-or-down vote to repeal the Obama administration's health care overhaul, though a successful overturn of the controversial measure is well beyond their reach.
Even if a proposal passes the soon-to-be GOP-controlled House of Representatives, it's unlikely to go any further, considering the Democrats' control of the Senate and President Barack Obama's power to veto legislation.
But with many of the law's provisions years away from implementation, the GOP can use its new House majority to slow the measure's funding and progress through a gantlet of congressional hearings, investigations, aggressive oversight and legislative delays. A conservative commentator called the guerrilla warfare-like tactic "defund, delay and debunk."
The real value of the House vote is to show disgruntled voters that GOP lawmakers haven't conceded defeat on the president's signature domestic-policy triumph, said James Capretta, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
"It sends a signal to the people that put them in power that (House Republicans) are going to keep faith with them in terms of their priorities. It really needs to happen," Capretta said.
A House vote also will help, from a public awareness standpoint, keep the controversial law in play for the 2012 elections.
"We can — and should — propose and vote on straight repeal, repeatedly," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told an audience Thursday at the conservative Heritage Foundation. "But we can't expect the president to sign it. So we'll also have to work, in the House, on denying funds for implementation, and, in the Senate, on votes against its most egregious provisions."
Because funding for many provisions in the law is authorized but not appropriated, James Gelfand, health policy director at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said there'd be numerous opportunities for Republicans to hold up the funding train. He cited as a prime example funding for thousands of new IRS agents to enforce provisions of the law.
"I don't expect Speaker Boehner to be eager to throw away money on anything he doesn't approve of in the bill, so there are going to be huge amounts of things in the bill that won't be funded," Gelfand said, a reference to Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio.
Tevi Troy, a Republican health strategist and visiting senior fellow at the conservative Hudson Institute, cautioned eager Republicans against changing many unpopular portions of the law. He said the revisions would make the measure more palatable to the public and consequently dampen desire to see the law overturned in 2012.
Capretta said Republicans should resist the temptation to go it alone on opposing the health law. He urged them to court centrist and conservative Democrats who could be vulnerable in the 2012 elections.
With hundreds of new Republican state legislators and a handful of new GOP governors, states also will play a crucial role in slowing implementation of the law, said Nina Owcharenko, director of health policy studies at the Heritage Foundation. She cited a lawsuit by 20 states challenging the law's requirement that citizens buy health insurance or pay a fine as the kind of state-led initiative needed to help topple the measure.
"I'm hopeful that the states continue this focus not only by pushing back on the federal government, but also pushing back by forging ahead with their own reforms," Owcharenko said.
On the campaign trail, some Republican candidates had talked confidently about repealing the law, but most observers realized the odds were long.
That alone prompted Tommy Thompson, the health and human services secretary under President George W. Bush, to question whether targeting the law is worthwhile.
"When it's all said and done, you're not going to be able to repeal health care because President Obama is not going to sign it. And they don't have enough votes to override a veto, so why push a cart uphill when you know it's not going to be able to get to the top?" Thompson said this week in an interview on CNBC.
While the economy and jobs topped voter concerns in this week's election, the political potency of health care reform hasn't been forgotten. On Wednesday, McConnell said the law became a "tipping point" for voter anger and "a metaphor for the government excess that we've witnessed over the last two years."
In a news conference the same day, Obama defended the law and its many popular provisions, such as no coverage exclusions for people with pre-existing illnesses.
"I don't think you'd have a strong vote for people saying, 'Those are provisions I want to eliminate,' " Obama said.
But no one seems more intent on doing just that than Rep. Joe Barton, a Texas Republican. In August 2009, Barton told Fox News that "in the next Congress I'll be Chairman Joe Barton of the Energy and Commerce Committee, and we'll repeal it."
Barton's chairmanship is far from certain, following his infamous "apology" to BP after he called its Gulf Coast oil spill compensation fund a "$20 billion shakedown." He's pushing for the seat, and he recently outlined seven concerns about the law that he'd investigate within six months of getting the post.
Specifically, Barton wants to talk with Medicare Chief Actuary Richard Foster about cost and spending estimates for the overhaul bill and when they were first available. He wants HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Dr. Donald Berwick, the Medicare and Medicaid chief, to testify before the committee more often.
Barton also wants to know more about HHS' use of government money to promote Medicare improvements and whether Sebelius improperly told insurers not to blame rate increases on the new law.
"I think we're just 10 hearings away from finding the workaday details of how the Obama administration's health and economics policies turned massive, stunningly expensive, unworkable and unwanted," Barton wrote last week in a Washington Times editorial.

By Matthew Flood
Like many mission-driven enterprises, Door to Door Organics began small and scrappy, operating out of a humble home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Since 1997, we've been connecting folks in northeastern Pennsylvania with Good Food from small family farms by delivering seasonal, local, and organic produce and locally produced natural grocery items to homes, businesses, and schools. Now based in Ottsville, Pennsylvania, Door to Door Organics continues to support our founder's mission to make eating local easier and more accessible.
Beyond lowering our customers' "foodprints" and supporting the community, locally grown produce is fresher and often tastes better, because it's been allowed to ripen naturally in the field. According to studies, local food also tends to retain higher levels of nutrients than conventionally grown produce that's been trucked or flown in from far away. And eating more organic food means consuming fewer toxic chemicals and getting more nutrients, too. Recent studies have found that organic food boasts more nutrients, including disease-fighting vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. And supporting small, local, organic farmers helps build healthier, stronger local communities. That's why we've built relationships with more than 100 organic, local farms and small artisan vendors throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Meet a few of our partners:
Blue Moon Acres, Buckingham, PA
Blue Moon Acres was started by Jim and Kathy Lyons in Buckingham, Pennsylvania, in 1992 as a CSA (community-supported agriculture) farm, growing a small array of vegetables and greens. Now, 20 years later, Blue Moon has grown to include numerous varieties of microgreens and certified-organic specialty greens in their greenhouses and fields in Buckingham, Pa., and Pennington, NJ. But the premise is the same as it was at the beginning: to grow good-quality food that is in accordance with sustainable agriculture practices.
What do they make or grow? Microgreens, arugula, baby spinach, and specialty lettuces
Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative, Leola, PA
This nonprofit co-op of 80 organic Amish farmers in Lancaster County focuses on growing healthy, high-quality foods from highly maintained and enriched soils on family farms with small herds and flocks. The animals on their farms always have access to pasture and enjoy the freedom of foraging through the grasses with the earth under their feet. Helping these farmers reach buyers across the Tri-State area—not an easy task when you're driving a horse-drawn buggy—strengthens their businesses and the local farm community as a whole.
What do they make or grow? Local, pastured, free-range, non-GMO eggs and vegetables
Little Buck Organics, Hammonton, New Jersey
Did you know that the Blueberry Capital of the World is in New Jersey? Since 1999, Elizabeth and Louis Condo have grown organic blueberries on 116 acres in the Pine Barrens of Hammonton, NJ. Every sweet, juicy berry is nurtured and picked by hand on this family farm. Organic law says there is nothing beyond organic, but they beg to differ. The Condo family believes that in a sustainable farm system, the soil is an ecosystem, increasing in biotic diversity, evolving through successive states and progressing to its peak.
What do they make or grow? Blueberries
Purely Farms, Pipersville, PA
Purely Farms is a small, family-oriented operation in Bucks County, Pa. Owners Marc and Joanna Michini have been dedicated to sustainable, organic agriculture and the humane treatment of animals since 2004. The Michinis are the first generation to farm their land organically and pasture pigs, chickens, and turkeys. When we need to discard fruit, we take it over to the hogs at Purely Farm who help us reduce our food waste.
What do they make or grow? Pastured pork
Seven Stars Farm, Phoenixville, PA
Seven Stars Farm is a 350-acre certified-biodynamic, organic dairy farm in northern Chester County, Pa., just west of Philadelphia. They use the milk from their Jersey cows to produce Seven Stars Organic Yogurt. It's been an operating dairy since 1988.
What do they make or grow? Local, organic farm-fresh yogurt
Spring Thyme Herb Farm, Hockessin, DE
Spring Thyme Herb Farm is a small family-owned farm in beautiful Chester County, Pennsylvania, that's dedicated to producing high-quality, certified-organic culinary herbs, edible flowers, and assorted greens. They grow herbs with the most pungent aromas and pleasing flavors, and are constantly trying new strains of certified organic seeds. Their herbs and flowers are harvested by hand in small batches to ensure freshness.
What do they make or grow? 20 varieties of culinary herbs & a seasonal selection of edible flowers, including hard-to-find varieties.
In summer, Door to Door Organics ups the local ante. We bring the farmers' market right to customers' doors. Available from June through October, our Local Farm Box is brimming with 100% certified organic produce from small, local family farms. Because we work with dozens of local farms, our offerings change weekly and there's no need to commit for the whole summer: Customers can pay as they go, put the account on hold for vacations or any reason at all, or cancel at any time. Best of all, customers can create a customized box, swapping produce they don't like for their favorite fruit and veggies.
Check out Door to Door Organics to learn more about the local farms we work with to bring the season's freshest organic offerings to 10 states across the U.S. Cheers to Good Food!
Matthew Flood is the location director for Door to Door Organics Tri-State, where he oversees delivering Good Food to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware as well as the company's responsible growth, including the expansion of local food offerings. Before working at Door to Door Organics, Matthew spent five years working in the food industry at several Bucks County restaurants and at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York, where he created sustainable, local, and organic meals.

Click Tracking Links Have Stopped Working.
If you are experiencing an issue where you or your recipients are seeing SendGrid click tracked links not redirecting properly, or simply timing out, it could be due to one of several conditions.
Target URL is invalid
Be sure to go back and check your original email to ensure the URL you are passing (that is, before it gets to us) is indeed a valid link. Our click tracking mechanism does not validate URLs beyond looking for a http(s) protocol, a www., and an <a href html tag.
If you are unsure what the original link was, feel free to contact support. If you can provide us an example link from a sent email that is failing, we can decode the link to determine the original URL.
Your CNAME record is not valid.
If your account is Pro 100K or higher, and you have completed the reverse DNS, you were prompted to add a CNAME record to allow us to write your own domain into your click tracked links.
This record not only allows for your click tracked links to appear to be directly from your domain, but also allows users to properly redirect back to SendGrid before going on to their final destination. This redirect allows us to track clicks and increment them in your account statistics. If this record is entered incorrectly or deleted in your DNS host, it can potentially break links within your emails.
To check if your CNAME record is up to date, simply use the Unix command dig to check your authenticated subdomain. The easiest way to go about this is to use Terminal on a Mac platform.
The command should look like: dig cname sub.domain.tld, where "sub.domain.tld" will be the subdomain and top level domain you used in the validation step of setting up an authenticated, usually email.yourdomain.com, or em.yourdomain.com.
If this is set up correctly, you should see sendgrid.net in the answer section. If you do not see that, please contact your IT staff, hosting provider, or whomever controls your domain's DNS settings to see if the record has been published correctly.
If you are not on a Mac, you can also use the CNAMELookup tool provided by MxToolbox, simply enter your authenticated subdomain, and hit enter. As above, your subdomain should be pointed to the canonical name sendgrid.net.

Executive Chef David Schmidt and Director of Food and Beverage Kevin Macquire are redefining the culinary scene at award-winning Enchantment Resort with new authentic dining experiences.
The new signature restaurant CHE-AH-CHI compliments its environment with finely appointed wood finishes, tile, neutral tones and custom lighting to create a space that is contemporary and quietly seductive. The split-level dining layout features wall-to-ceiling windows that showcase the scenic views from this elevated setting. Serving contemporary American cuisine with a hint of Southwest the menu offers a diverse selection of local and regional ingredients with specialties such as Heirloom Beet salad, Sea Scallops in candied bacon relish, Duck in creamy polenta with root vegetables, Filet Mignon with grilled ramps and sweetbread ragout, and Elk Loin with fava bean hash.
Enchantment's stylish new Wine Bar featuring our Wine Spectator "Best of Best Award of Excellence" wine list is the ideal venue for enjoying a glass of wine or a casual dinner while taking in Sedona's unsurpassed surroundings. The bar's twenty-foot-long signature communal "gathering" table made of solid iron with a three inch Sandstone top, set majestically beneath amber and earth-colored blown glass custom light fixtures, creates a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
Ideal for tapas and cocktails, dinner or dessert, View 180 is a sophisticated and vibrant gathering place for relaxing and unwinding. With sliding glass doors that open to a verandah, this unique indoor/outdoor setting is available for hand-crafted cocktails, award-winning wine, and a tapas-style menu for a prelude to dinner or as a light dinner option.
Perfect for a casual dining experience and a picture perfect sunset, Tii Gavo has been refreshed and launched just in time for the summer season. While the restaurant still serves inspired southwestern fare, it features an intimate bar for enjoying the state's largest selection of Arizona wines, as well as regionally-crafted beers on tap, specialty cocktails and margaritas, including the signature Prickly Pear margarita. Most notable is Tii Gavo's exterior circular patio and fire pit, where guests can dine by the warmth of an outdoor fireplace with striking views of the stunning red rock surroundings.
