The motivation for conducting this analysis is an interest in better understanding the
relationships between large local businesses and the small to medium sized businesses who
serve as vendors and suppliers to the larger industries, and to quantify this to the extent
possible. Five marine industrial firms (firms located in the Portland Harbor area who rely
on access to waterborne transportation modes) were interviewed regarding their spending on
direct and indirect materials, services, and capital goods during 2011 and 2012. In order to
secure complete information, the firms requested anonymity to protect their competitive interests.
The data submitted for analysis by these firms was analyzed by these spend categories as well
as by where the spending occurred: in the local area, regionally, nationally, or internationally.

Working Waterfront
Local Spending Analysis
To better understand the relationships between large Portland marine industrial firms
and local small- to medium-sized businesses that serve as their vendors and suppliers,
five such large firms were interviewed about their spending on direct and indirect materials,
services, and capital goods during 2011 and 2012. The resulting study and report, commissioned
by the Portland Business Alliance, found far-reaching economic connections between the marine
businesses and a variety of local small- and mediumsized businesses - and that most of the
dollars spent stayed in our region, creating jobs in our local communities. (August 2013)

Most important reads for this week
Is SAMHSA Giving Up on Transition-Age Youth?
Given all of the conversation in Congress and the national press over the past few years about the need for evaluating the effectiveness of treatment approaches for young adults at risk of developing a serious mental illness, the idea of not completing an evaluation of a grant program focused on transition-age youth that is in the final, most important stage, seemed unthinkable to me. That was until I read in SAMHSA's FY18 budget justification that they were recommending just that.
Consensus Statement on the Mental Health of Emerging Adults Mental Health Commission of Canada, 2017
Wondering what our neighbors to the north are doing around meeting the needs of emerging adults? The report identifies a number of foundational characteristics of a reformed system – one that is better able to meet the mental health and problematic substance use needs of emerging adults.

New Healthcare Bill, Same Medicaid Caps/Cuts
From our colleagues at the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law - "Over the weekend, we need people to call and e-mail. Senators' mailboxes need to be filled up. Friday and Monday, we need people to show up at Senators' local offices. People should tell their stories and explain how the loss of Medicaid would hurt them. We need to ask all of these Senators to save the lives of people with disabilities and vote no on this bill." Okay Network faithful, study up and get on it!
Where Every Senator Stands on the Revised Health Care Bill
The revised health care bill released on Thursday by Senate Republican leaders still faces opposition from G.O.P. members. The bill needs at least 50 votes to pass, as Vice President Mike Pence could cast a tiebreaking vote. Check out this interactive feature on the New York Times website which is tracking where every senator stands on the bill so far, based on their statements and on news reports.
Expect the Unexpected: The Impact of Medicaid Caps
One of the most sweeping changes in the House-passed American Health Care Act and in the Senate's draft bill, The Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017 is the end to the federal government's commitment to share all Medicaid costs with states. The House bill replaces that commitment with a cap that would limit—and significantly reduce—federal Medicaid spending. Cuts that result would be even greater, particularly toward the end of the next decade.

Pediatrics-based Brief Therapy Outdoes Referral for Youths with Anxiety and Depression; Striking Benefit Seen for Hispanic Youths
A streamlined behavioral therapy delivered in a pediatrics practice offered much greater benefit to youth with anxiety and depression than a more standard referral to mental health care with follow-up in a clinical trial comparing the two approaches. The benefit of the former approach in comparison with referral was especially striking in Hispanic youth, a finding that may help inform efforts to address disparities in care.

New York is being over run.
Not by Arab terrorists, nor by drug dealers - but by short sellers hammering the stock market into the ground. For the second year in a row, the man of the year should be an animal.
A Bear.
In itself a down stock market is nothing to panic about overly much, stock market slides are the house of the casino that is finance collecting the losing bets when the wheel stops. That there are losers is part of the nature of the game. But that is not what is happening here. Instead, there is a belief among many traders, with money to back that belief, that the major indexes on the New York Stock Exchange are overvalued, and ripe for attack. Against them, others who are trying to hold the line have been, for the past few months, fighting a desperate battle to prop up the Dow and S&P.
What does this mean? And how does it work?
Imagine something smaller - a neighborhood with 10 houses. If one goes up for sale then it will fetch a certain price - if 2 do, then there there is a slightly lower price. If everyone is desperate to sell, and all 10 are up, then they will sell for a much, much lower price. Simple supply and demand.
Now, what happens when you go to get a home equity loan? The price of your house is calculated by the sale prices of other similar homes in your area. If you think that both can sell at a high price, there is no problem. But what if you know they won't both sell? Then you know the value of your home, and thus what you can get for a loan is about to go down.
A defense then would be to go to all the other home owners and say "let's chip in, make the down payment on the house, rent it out, and then sell it later." The cost of the down payment is 5% of the house, and if two houses would hurt everyone, then you might be able to do it. This, in essence, is what happens when a bank "intervenes" to buy a currency - it reduces the amount of supply, and thus increases price.
An attack against an index or a currency - as with Soros' celebrated attack on the pound, and the attack on the Argentine peso earlier this year - is a bet that by shorting - borrowing a stock, selling the borrowed stock and buying it later - will dramatically reduce the price. In other words, it is a bet that there are no more buyers out there than have lined up, and there are other people who will sell if they lose too much money.
This line up - where those who have money borrowed against the value of the market line up against those who think the price of the market is artificially high by constricted supply - is what makes an attack possible. Usually the attackers lose, badly. What is worse is that the defenders in a successful defense profit, and can therefore defend better later.
However, when the attackers win, the result is spectacular. This year the Argentine Peso and Tyco stock have been the target of bear attacks, and both have broken.
So how does this apply to the New York Stock Exchange. Well, you can't spend stock. If you sell it, you reduce the value of your other stock - which could cost you more than the money you get. It is also taxable. So what do you do? Well, you borrow against the value of your stock. This means that while there is wealth in the NYSE - some of that is actually not there, but has been borrowed, the way a homeowner gets a home equity loan. He doesn't want to sell his house to buy a new bathroom for it, which makes no sense.
This means that those people who have borrowed against some asset have a reason to defend it. And therein lies the art of it: if no one has money borrowed against something, an attack is unlikely to work, because no one has to sell. The way an attack works is when people who are not interested in the asset dropping in price are forced to sell to raise cash. If they have money borrowed against the stock to buy more of the stock as an example. The attacker thinks he can set off a chain reaction - the price drops, people who have borrowed against the stock sell, depressing the price, forcing other people to sell.
So what is an owner to do? Intervene. The brute force way is to simply buy the shorted asset, and sell it later. However, this is expensive. Instead, the more successful intervention tries to find a key point in the attack and make it difficult to execute. To go back to our house example - suppose you know that the house that is to be sold needs to have its sewage fixed - and the new line has to run across a small strip of land. You buy that small strip of land, and then tell the homeowner who wants to sell that he can't fix the sewage, so he can't sell. Or you tell prospective buyers that they will have to go around your land. The cost to buy the little strip is small, and it ties down much more value.
That is what has been happening on the markets. In order to short the market, the bear needs some protection in case he is wrong. He buys contracts on the S&P. The defender, knowing this, buys lots of these contracts - drastically increasing both the price to the Bear, and also increasing his risk - because he can't stop the losses at the same low level.
The huge surges in the market that have been seen were not lots of small investors getting back in, not lots of people - but a few people with lots of dollars to lose. Each time they poured money into S&P futures - which shot up - and then tried to force the bears to "cover" or buy back the shares that they had sold short earlier. They hoped that the bears were overextended and would have to retreat. But instead, each cycle has helped the bears - they have made money on each attack, the defenders have lost money, and the market has retreated.
Why is this? Because people are pulling money out of the market at an accelerating pace. The expansion in the dollars going into investments has stopped and turned to retreat. The force of gravity is on the side of the bears.
What we are also finding out is that some of the money to finance this came from the defenders selling puts well below the market. In essence, they were making a bet with the Bears that the Bears wouldn't win. If they could hold the line, they would finance the defense with the bear's own money. However, if they failed, they would have to pay the bear back, and then some, and sell stock to raise the cash.
So why does this matter to you? Because you, my fellow American and reader of Democrats.com, are going to pay for this mess. This is the sickness of our current system - a small fraction of the people who have money control much more money - money that belongs to other people. They aren't gambling with their fortunes, they are gambling with your money. Money that you will have to pay back if it fails.
How does this work? As most people who follow stocks know, 1/3 of all of the money in equities - stocks - is from pension funds. It is the pension funds that are running the defense, and making the attempt to hold on. But, if the defense fails, guess who backs the pension funds? You, the US Taxpayer.
That's right. You.
Now if the pension funds were really trying to defend your pension, you'd be rooting for them – after all, you don't want to lose your pension. But they aren't acting in your best interest, and haven't been. You see, companies claim that money over and above what is minimum to "fully fund" the pension fund belongs to them. They have reported that money as profits. Worse, they have reported what they thought they might get as profits. They are, effectively, borrowing money from your pension fund - at 0% interest.
Let's put some hard numbers on this to give an example.
Suppose there are 100 dollars in a pension fund. The government grinds its numbers and says, "Next year, you will need 105 dollars to be fully funded." If the next year there is 110 dollars, the company books 5 dollars as profit - from your pension fund - and leaves 105 dollars.
It gets worse. By using an accounting rule known as historical expectation - the company says historically the stock market returns 10%. So we will have 110 dollars next year, and we will book 5 dollars as profit. Next year the stock market goes down by 20%, and instead of 110 dollars, there is 80 dollars. Does the company have to pay back the money? Not yet, not until they are audited and can't juggle numbers to keep things in line. How to juggle? Why, by loaning the pension fund enough of the company's own stock of course. Effectively they have sold the pension fund 25 dollars of their own stock - without paying taxes, and without the pension fund manager having any say over it. And you the pension fund beneficiary? The guy who has paid in? A say? Fughetaboutit. If it is a short decline, or small, this kind of activity will not be noticed. For example, lets say there is a bad year on the market - the pension fund as 104 dollars, gets loaned a little bit of the company stock, and the year after, the market bounces back and the pension fund is fully funded. The company merely doesn't book any pension fund profits that next year.
But the market is now down for over 2 1/2 years. Stock sales, which made up chunks of the profits, were really loans from the future. The future is now, and it wants to be paid.
Which gets us back to the real problem. Let's say that the company goes bust - and when the dust clears the pension fund only has 80 dollars in it to meet 105 dollars of expectations. Why then you, the taxpayer, have to pay that money.
With the recent declines, this situation is getting near at hand. According to several sources - collected in the business press by the Wall Street Journal and CNBC - 5% of the "revenues" of the S&P 500 - the five hundred largest US companies - consists of fake pension fund profits that will have to be repaid. And that number is growing.
What would the Aggressive Progressive demand? Swift action to prop up the system and get the money paid back in due course:
First, require that government back debts be first in line at bankruptcy.
Second allow government regulators to vote any shares that are "loaned" to the pension fund on reorganization plans.
Third require the pension fund manager to be responsible, personally, for acting in the beneficiaries interest.
Fourth: Congress must act with legislation to end the raiding of pension funds, and it must end the historical expectation rule for investment income.
Fifth: require a 5-year write off of pension profits. Provide government backed loans to ease the transition and prevent an orgy of selling.
This may seem like a simple set of steps, but time is running out.

The Cerritos College softball team powered their way into the Southern California Super Regional, with a 9-1, six-inning win over visiting Citrus College to sweep their best-of-3 series. The Falcons (28-13) hit five home runs - three in the sixth inning - to send them to the next round, which will be a four-team double-elimination tournament next weekend to see who advances to the CCCAA State Championships.
If the top eight seeds advance, the Falcons will play at #2-seeded Mt. San Antonio College, along with #3-seeded El Camino College and #6-seeded Antelope Valley College. The Super Regional will take place next Friday through Sunday.
Not only did the win advance the #7-seeded Falcons to the next round, it was also the 500th win for head coach Kodee Murray, who is in her 16th season at the helm. Murray (pictured, left) now sports a 500-196-3 record and is just two wins away from tying the college's all-time leader, Nancy Kelly, who went 502-320-1 in her 22 seasons as the head coach.
Although the game will be remembered for the five home runs hit by the Falcons, it was the work of sophomore pitcher Kristen Voller (Norco HS) that kept a powerful Owls team in check for two days. On Saturday, Voller allowed one run (unearned) on just four hits and struck out five batters. She shut down Jade Nua, the power hitter for Citrus, and issued her a walk in the first inning, while striking her out looking in the third inning and a lazy fly out in the sixth inning. In the series, Nua, who entered with a .615 batting average, along with 16 home runs and 62 RBI, went 0-for-7 with one walk.
By contrast, Cerritos was putting up huge numbers against the Owls pitchers and got things started in the second game with a four-run third inning. After sophomore outfielder Kimberly Olivas (Warren HS) led off with a single up the middle, freshman catcher Briana Lopez (NorwalkHS) hit her first of two home runs to put the Falcons in the lead, 2-1. Sophomore shortstop Kylee Brown (Mayfair HS) followed on the next pitch with a solo home run, her 17th of the year. The inning continued with an error, which set up and RBI single by freshman second baseman Emma Wolff (Mayfair HS), her first of two on the day.
Leading 5-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, Olivas got things started when her deep fly ball to left field was initially caught by Mia Escobar, but she was unable to maintain control and the ball dropped over the fence for a solo home run. And, for the second time on the day, the Falcons hit back-to-back home runs, as Lopez drilled a shot to deep center field, her 10th of the season. Brown recorded an infield single, which was followed by a game-ending two-run, opposite field home run by freshman third baseman Carly Gutierrez (Santa Fe HS).
The Falcons pounded out 13 hits, with Lopez, Olivas, Brown Gutierrez and Wolff all collected a pair of hits in the win. Eight of the nine players in the lineup had at least one hit.

I've been doing a few housekeeping chores around Diva Chronicles lately. While I'm still working on a new, fresh, and simplified logo, I also added a subscription box.

Therfore, there is a box to the top right of the page for you to submit your emails to keep up with blog posts, exclusives, newsletters, and more! I might try a secret give away sometime!

Rahm Emanuel calls liberal groups "fucking retards" and Sarah Palin wants him fired. Rush Limbaugh calls same groups "retards" (he can't say fuck on the radio like Howard can) and Sarah at first calls it "crude and demeaning" only to later defend Rush by agreeing with him and calling it "satire" and claiming the source of the crude and demeaning quote got it wrong.
This is, of course, not really news. We've long known Sarah is a vapid, hypocritical, fake ass bitch. Now we know she's also a fucking retard who employs double standard like Rush does hyperbole.
Wow…. maybe this is bipartisanship….. I agree with you!
But I think the word "ditz" must be included in her description. Like, the Polar Bear Momma is a Ditzy F***ing Retard!
And the fact that the entire political nation discourse is being driven over such piffle of nonsense speaks volumes for this country's insatiable appetite for garbage, grade-school style journalism. Why do people cover this lost queen of whores is beyond me.
No one can refudiate that she is a retard.

VENICE, Italy (AP) — The Latest on the Venice Film Festival (all times local):
10:30 p.m.
Israeli director Samuel Maoz has defended his Venice Film Festival prize-winner "Foxtrot" after criticism from some in his homeland.
Maoz's film, a compelling study of trauma and grief, won the festival's second-place Grand Jury Prize on Saturday.
Some in Israel have condemned the film because it is critical of the Israeli army, the country's most respected institution. But Maoz says no society can flourish when "critics are considered to be traitors."
He told reporters: "If I criticize the place I live, I do it because I worry. I do it because I want to protect it. I do it from love."
10 p.m.
Director Guillermo del Toro says his Venice Film Festival victory is a vindication of monster movies, science-fiction movies and other sometimes-derided cinema genres.
Del Toro won the festival's Golden Lion top prize on Saturday for his monster movie "The Shape of Water" — a rare victory at a top cinema festival for a fantasy film. The Mexican director says it's "a beautiful encouragement, a beautiful act of love, and I think it is something very necessary."
The 52-year-old director says it has been his "life's mission" to show that genre films can be intelligent, artistic and beautiful. His previous films include "Hellboy" and "Pan's Labyrinth."
8:45 p.m.
Venice Film Festival winner Guillermo del Toro says he hopes his victory will inspire young directors to "have faith in whatever you have faith in — in my case, it's monsters."
The Mexican director won the festival's Golden Lion for "The Shape of Water," a fantastical story about a mute young woman, played by Sally Hawkins, who falls for a mysterious sea creature being held at a high-security lab.
Many viewers in Venice fell for the movie's audacious mix of genres: It's a monster movie, a Cold War thriller and even, at times, a musical.
A grateful del Toro told an audience at the festival's closing ceremony Saturday that "I believe in life. I believe in love and I believe in cinema."
8:40 p.m.
Guillermo del Toro's monster thriller 'The Shape of Water' has won the Venice Film Festival's top prize, the Golden Lion.
A jury led by American actress Annette Bening chose the film from among 21 competing at the 74th annual festival — an edition where the world's social divisions and the specter of climate change resonated through many of the entries.
It beat contenders including George Clooney's "Suburbicon" and Alexander Payne's "Downsizing."
The runner-up Grand Jury Prize on Saturday went to Israeli director Samuel Maoz' "Foxtrot."
Palestinian actor Kamel El Basha and British actress Charlotte Rampling took the festival's acting trophies.
The world's oldest film festival wrapped up Saturday after 11 days that brought stars including Clooney, Matt Damon and Jennifer Lawrence to the canal-crossed Italian city.

Oh, man if there is one thing that riles me up in this world it is people who are downright inconsiderate – whether it be in a personal or professional environment. Taking advantage of other people's hearts and resources is just plain wrong.
When someone close to you breaks a promise, it feels like betrayal. How could they be so inconsiderate and hurt you by weaseling out of their word? This feels like a stab in the heart.
When someone that you have no relation with, and with whom you're entering into a professional deal with suddenly leaves you hanging, it's just plain infuriating. You wonder, who do they think they are screwing around with my time and resources? This feels like a slap in the face.
When a 22-year-old is giving you lessons about being professional, then it's probably way overdue that you should have gotten some pointers from your school's career advisor. Although, I've always been raised with a tough love type of attitude and was never given too much slack for my mistakes, even if I was barely in the double-digits. I always knew how insulting it was to someone when you disregarded a phone call (or an e-mail nowadays) — especially when it was business and you were simply the middle-man messenger.
Then again, this doesn't seem like a lesson that needs to be taught verbatim. It's kind of common sense, isn't it: don't break promises, don't lie, don't forget to return messages, and don't be rude?
Well, it seems that showing consideration in the workplace is a lot more difficult than one might imagine. Or, maybe it's just that as a young woman in the professional world – I just seem to have a sign plastered on my head that says "Take advantage of my time." Either way, it's really sickening, and I'm up to my neck in this crap.
To date, I have worked for multiple internships (and many-a-time done lots of free work), where I wasn't even given the respect of a "Sorry, we don't want you anymore." Nope, it seems that because I'm the last link of the food chain, people like myself aren't even worthy of this much respect. Instead, I got the message when my emails were never returned and the communication came an abrupt stop.
Before anyone starts bashing me for complaining and launches into a "Well, that's the way it is.." rant — spare me because I know. That is the way things are, but that's not how they SHOULD be. We're all people aren't we? Kindness should exist in the workplace, and if anything, respect should be in abundance. We're talking about a world where everyone is contributing time and resources, not just existing for the hell of it.
I don't need presents and and endless chain of appreciative speeches, but hey — call me crazy, I wouldn't mind if you wouldn't waste my time by being irresponsible and disrespectful! You may be older, but that doesn't elicit automatic respect. Contrarily, I'm inclined to give my elders respect by default simply because they're older, but it sure doesn't mean it's an endless supply. If you insist on being inconsiderate, dishonest, and condescending — do you really expect me to polish the pedestal for you to stand on?
Recently, I was supposed to partner up with a stylist at Bravo! Salon in Lufkin, TX to review a hot, new perm. After chasing the owner for weeks through calls, that unfortunately never returned because of who-knows-what, I was able speak to her in person. I told her what I had in mind and how we might both be able to benefit from the partnership: I peg her business in my video/written review while she offers her expertise on the product, and I get a work sample for my portfolio. Plain and simple. I gave her the opportunity to check out all my work and tell me bluntly if she felt wary and didn't want to do it anymore – even AFTER we made the appointment. Everything seemed fine, and I was scheduled to come in the week after.
Week after: I get a call that Angie (owner) is out for the day because she is sick and the appointment is cancelled. Reasonably, I was disappointed but appreciative I was at least called. Instead of rescheduling me, the receptionist told me to call back the week after to speak with the owner and make another appointment. So I did, and no Angie in the salon!
"She's out for lunch, but I'll have her call you back."
Sure, that's fine. So I left the message and number — day after day…Never was I told that perhaps, she just wasn't interested in the venture, or that she wasn't planning on returning any of my calls.
I set out to find a new salon to partner up with, slowly building up the realization of how I was, once again, being jilted – but not one person thought it necessary to be honest. I'm sorry, is this a high school scenario where the mean girls only half-attempt to hide the fact that my boyfriend is cheating on me? It seemed similarly dramatic and sketchy…
Week after that: Plain angry that I had been dealing with such unprofessionalism, I called back multiple times to speak with the owner to tell her I didn't appreciate the treatment. Instead, I was given the same parroted message, "She's not in, I'll tell her to call you.."
When I went to tell the receptionist that I had been hearing this message for weeks, and had yet to be called, she got snarky and told me that the owner was out of town due to a family emergency.
Oh! So, I was supposed to just know that? I should've just assumed it was something like that. Well, it would've been nice to be told anything close to the truth so I could've backed off. Given attitude and the usual message that I'd be called back, I relayed my appreciation and my sympathies and hung up. (I truly felt bad, but why would I send myself down a guilt trip when I had no earthly way of knowing?)
Had it not been for salon partner, Jamie, who gave me a ring in an attempt to smooth things over, I would have written the entire staff at Bravo! as very inconsiderate. She, however, cleared things up even more vividly when she told me that Angie had told the staff over a week ago that she had no interest in working with me. Oh, but wait — the staff and Angie never seemed to think it was important enough to tell me that. Again, Jamie was the only one at the salon who seemed apologetic and considered how rude and unprofessional I had taken everyone's behavior to be – the owner's especially. She remained neutral, but I could tell she really felt bad. She attempted to make calls back and forth and patch things up, but I told her I wasn't interested in working with Bravo!. I think I had gotten my answer at how valuable my wasted time was. But, again — being young often gives others an impression that you're likely to be the flaky one, so you probably won't care. Wrong!
If you're getting your hair done in Lufkin, TX — you may want to take my experience into consideration. I've been going to this place for years, and always had pretty good experiences, but would rather take my locks to MasterCuts or something. Glad we got to work together Bravo!..you did give me the inspiration behind my work sample.
Have you ever been disrespected in the professional world? What happened and why do you think you were treated that way?

when gagging on
the stench
of death's hot sewer
one remembers
the flower smell
in a lover's hair.
i tell myself
fear is
runaway injustices
stampede our bodies
and stomp on our faces,
crushing air from our lungs and
shitting on our brains.
they say we're dead, but
we still claw at
the lid of the coffin.
darkness is absolute
except for the light behind
our eyes that we cannot
seem to extinguish.
we get close in the dark coffin.
then she whispers,
'i'm pregnant.'
'i'll save it,' i say, and
i prepare the hanger.
but the baby comes fast,
faster than our wheezing
it comes.
its little hand melts
the walls and eviscerates
the monsters in
our darkblind eyes.
this baby is so strong.
stronger than us.
we teach it all we know,
which we know is not enough.
for instance,
we cannot teach her how
to get out of
our bodies turn to dust.
she is a seed in dead soil.
i remember st. helens
and the life after
i see a slender fawn
gallop through a
world of ash.
i cry and see it rain.
our baby sticks her tongue out
to catch the water.
her mother taught her that.
i think,
maybe she will make it.
she just might.

Peter Jok, Georges Niang have friendly bet on Iowa-Iowa State basketball to benefit children's hospital
Former Iowa and Iowa State basketball players are turning some friendly gameday trash talk into a charitable wager.
Georges Niang tweeted the proposition to Peter Jok before Thursday's Iowa-Iowa State game. If Iowa wins, Niang said he will $1,000 to the University of Iowa Children's Hospital. If Iowa State is victorious, Jok will donate $1,000 to Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines.
@Jok_City14 Iowa State wins tonight you donate $1000 to @blankchildrens hospital in Dsm IF iowa wins I'll donate $1000 to @uichildrens !!!— Georges Niang (@GeorgesNiang20) December 7, 2017
December 7, 2017
The Cyclones were 3-1 in the series during Niang's career, and won all three games when both Niang and Jok were in college. Niang provided an iconic moment in 2014 when he blew a kiss to Iowa fans during a 90-75 win in which he scored 16 points in Iowa City.
Jok got a win in his senior season last year, when he scored 23 points in a 78-64 victory at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
• Live updates: Iowa-Iowa State basketball
Both players are now in the NBA G-League. Niang is averaging 18.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 33.1 minutes for the Santa Cruz Warriors. Jok has played in one game for the Northern Arizona Suns.
It's a Cyclone state don't even @ me anymore!— Georges Niang (@GeorgesNiang20) December 7, 2017

The average American eats about one egg a day. When we consider 319 million people cracking 365 eggs a year, it's no wonder "egg farmers" have 276 million laying hens—that's a lot of eggs on a mind-boggling industrial scale.
If you've never heard of the American Egg Board (AEB), you are not alone. This USDA-run industry group is responsible for promoting eggs (remember the "incredible edible egg" ad campaign?). Things got a little more complicated a few weeks ago when news reports brought to light how AEB was actively trying to take down an up-and-coming vegan mayo company.
Hampton Creek, a San Francisco-based food company using food technology to try to shift America to a more sustainable diet, makes Just Mayo, a vegan, pea-protein-based mayonnaise. Notice how we called it "mayonnaise?" Makers of egg-based mayonnaise do NOT think that Hampton Creek (HC) should be able to use that moniker. In fact, about a year ago, Unilever, the owner of Hellman's mayo, sued HC on those grounds. They later dropped the suit, in part due to positive talks between HC and Unilever.
Meanwhile the AEB took a similar stance on Just Mayo's name, but instead of a lawsuit, they went the Death Star route and apparently launched a two year "conspiracy" to take down HC.
Michelle Simon, lawyer and sustainable food advocate, reported emails that were uncovered by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) between members of the AEB. According to Dan Charles of NPR, these emails were obtained through FOIA, because even though the AEB is funded by private industry money, the USDA oversees its operations.
Simon uncovered ways the AEB pushed the FDA to investigate Hampton Creek, authorized interference of sales of Just Mayo, and launched questionable PR tactics against Hampton Creek...among other things. Quoted by Charles, Simon points out that much of this activity is potentially illegal:
Checkoff programs like the Egg Board are legally required to stay within the boundaries of advertising, promotion, consumer education, and research. Specifically not allowed are lobbying activities. The statute says that no funds shall "be used for the purpose of influencing government policy or action."
Hampton Creek remains unmoved, and perhaps even more motivated, by this latest debacle. They have been criticized by the food industry for a while now, and this even seems to be part of CEO Josh Tetrick's design. In a recent interview on NPR's Here and Now, Tetrick explains that his goal is to shake up the food system, and that kowtowing to big businesses and government agencies—and changing the name of their product—is not in his plan.
We started with this big idea of what would it look like if we could rip away our preconceptions and our habits and how we think about things, and start a food system that actually works for everyone...so it wasn't entirely unexpected...remember, we're not a mayo company, we're a company that's trying to build a food system that has a lot more impact...that is not degrading the planet...it becomes a slippery slope when you enable people to frame you as an alternative, and we're not going to stand for that."
And while Hampton Creek is working to shake up the egg industry, consumers are as well. The influence of consumers' conscious carnivorism and more ethically minded food choices took another leap forward this week when McDonald's USA announced it will shift to purchasing only cage-free eggs over the next ten years. Considering the amount of eggs that McDonald's buys (around 4% of the total eggs produced in the U.S.!), this move will surely shake up the egg industry. As Stephanie Strom of the New York Times reports, McDonald's move may raise egg prices, but also shows America's continued movement toward more humane treatment of animals. As Strom reports, many other big egg users are moving to cage free as well:
The Compass Group, Sodexo and Aramark, three large food service suppliers that the Humane Society of the United States estimates buy roughly one billion eggs a year in total, also have said they will use only cage-free eggs. And this year, Walmart established new guidelines for suppliers that, among other things, indicated it would show preference to those using cage-free hen housing.
While we know that many cage-free egg facilities are still not the ultimate solution for inhumane treatment of animals, this all marks a step in the right direction. And it wouldn't have happened without consumers' involvement.

Responses of Karst Springs to Precipitation Reflect Land Use, Lithology, and Climate
Monday, December 4, 2017: 3:30 p.m.
101 D (Music City Center)
Numerous studies have documented how discharge (Q), water temperature (Tw), and chemistry of karst springs respond to precipitation (P). Fewer have compared responses between regions with differing land use, lithology, and seasonal precipitation patterns. We monitored Tw, specific conductance (SC), and stage (correlated to Q) at Blue Hole spring in Versailles, Kentucky, for 574 d. Blue Hole drains a gently rolling, primarily urban basin developed on flat-lying limestone; there are no pronounced wet or dry seasons. We monitored Tw and stage at three springs (Zerouka, Sidi Rached, and Ribaa), plus stable isotopes of water at Zerouka, in the Middle Atlas region of Morocco for 423 d. The Middle Atlas plateau consists of tabular, faulted dolomitic limestones. The landscape is forest and rangeland; the climate is Mediterranean with dry summers. Average local P during each study period was similar for Blue Hole (2.15 mm/d) and the Middle Atlas (2.38 mm/d). The number of events (defined as total P ≥ 2.5 mm with gaps ≤ 8 h) and maximum hourly P were greater for Blue Hole, whereas median values of event P and event duration were greater for the Middle Atlas. At Blue Hole, the difference between maximum and minimum Tw values during events (ΔTw) was as much as 5.58°C. Tw responses for Middle Atlas springs were more subdued (maximum ΔTw 0.74°C at Ribaa). For storms at Blue Hole, ΔTw increased and minimum SC decreased as maximum Q increased. Stage at Sidi Rached and Zerouka tended to decline gradually from spring to summer before rebounding. Deuterium and oxygen-18 at Zerouka fluctuated with time but did not show pronounced seasonality. We attribute regional differences to the greater extent of impervious cover in the Blue Hole basin and the lower intensity of storms and the lesser extent of carbonate weathering in the Middle Atlas.

Happy Holidays from the Control Freaks!
We're baa-ack! Due to various issues with families, other commitments, vacations, etc. the Freaks needed to temporarily suspend the Tour de Freaks, but we're back in business now! And just in time with some fabulous holiday inspiration!!!
Mary, aka Stamper Camper, was first on the tour, so you may have just landed here from her blog. I'm number two, but if you are starting here, you can continue on to see all eight blogs by clicking the links on the bottom of each page.
I have a couple of cards today, both of them using the Seasonal Chums bundle. One is kind of simple and one more elaborate. Let's start with the simpler one, okay? I fell in love with the Seasonal Chums bundle, especially once the Stampin' Blends were released. The images are so much fun to color, so I started with the dear little deer for my first card.
I combined it with the colorful Quilted Christmas DSP, because I liked the traditional colors and thought they worked well for this card. The stitched holly design on one sheet reminded me that I haven't used the Holly embossing folder much, so it got put to good use today!
Up next is a shaker card using the cute snowman and his bunny buddy! I cut the window all the way through the card front so you could see the houses (from the Hometown Greetings Edgelits) inside.
Aaaand, so you could see the snowman and bunny bums from inside (when the sequins aren't in the way). Isn't that just the cutest thing?! I really had a blast making this card, and got the giggles a couple of times. (I am easily amused, LOL.)
The image was colored with Pool Party, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate, and Crumb Cake Stampin'Blends combos. Those fabulous die cut snowflakes are also in the Seasonal Tags Framelits Dies. They're so cool! (See what I did there, heh heh?)
That's all for this stop, so hop on over to see what Debbie has for you at Debbie's Designs!

I been debating about writing this in English or Spanish; eventually I decided to write it in English anyway. Lately I been writing all the memories I left behind, turning this small blog into a small diary that is just the reflection of my self and who I was and who I become. Before moving to the United States, I lived in a small city called Cartagena de Indias, in Colombia. It was a small city where also I went to my first college, it probably didn't helped a lot on a long term because I moved from Colombia and eventually I started again 3 years and 5 months ago which marked also a 4 year time lapse since I graduated from Universidad de Bogota Jorge Tadeo Lozano, Seccional Caribe and I got accepted into The Tampa University; re-doing my life hasn't been easy but not trying to forget my memories from U.J.T.L. where I learned more about the word and the different realities everyone lives. I was 22 to 23 when I heard that a special need student got accepted into the Architecture program, but it wasn't until about a week later when he arrived at school, and about a month later when I finally met him. During the mean time before the first exams, I had that the chance to meet him, his name was Camilo, he was about 2 years older than me but yet he was more child like, quite innocent, I wondered how he entered the program?.
So, during the next couples of months I opted to follow him to some of his classes and because it was a small school, I did knew some teachers of that faculty and they let me in. I was amazed, Camilo had a perfect memory, he could recite everything letter by letter by the books but yet his behavior was innocent, he screamed if someone touched him on his arms, or his overalls, I was fascinated because he was unique; yet people called him retard, stupid, mongo, etc, people were cruel until the very end I left the college but yet much of the people opened to him and he became probably the most popular person on the campus. Time passed by, as many students I had probably daily salutations, I heard the word autism for the first time when I was 23, and during that same year I heard the word Asperger by the campus nurse. Camilo was autistic and he had asperger, he sees the world in such a unique way, different from you and me, from everyone else, he is not sick, he is a healthy man, smart but yet he more innocent than you and me. It was the explanation I heard from the school nurse, I never forget her words 4 years later, because they were honest. During the last two years of school, I became as many other sort of a friend, a surrogate member up to the point if he wanted to see with anyone, no one say no to him, but yet abuses persisted from people who thought he was over exaggerating or where people who saw him as a looser. No one who wants to become better and learn is a loser, a loser is someone who is stuck in the same cycle of life and thinks he is better than everyone else.
During my last year of school, by mere act of casualty I met Camilo's mother, a nice lady from Bogota, then I knew a little bit of his back story where he was actually introverted to the point he barely muttered words and the family moved to Cartagena because they saw the city had a positive impact on Camilo but as a mother she was worried that her son who didn't knew between bad or good would get assaulted by people with dubious reputation, or some bullies at the school. I saw something I never imagined in that short span, is not only one person who sees the world different it's their family who their vision change also. Since then, I always been fascinated because what is real for you, it couldn't be real for me and there are different realities in this one place we call Earth.

About AMERICA: THE OWNER'S MANUAL
Professor Harvey Asher began writing AMERICA: THE OWNER'S MANUAL in hopes of proving to his wife Sandy and others despairing over current events that our country is not going to hell in a handbasket.
His approach to a variety of topics dealt with in the "manual" draws on his three dozen years as a history professor at Drury University in Springfield, MO. An understanding of history, he believes, gives citizens a context into which they can place the latest headlines.
The hoped-for result is a clear-eyed appreciation of trends, individual events, and of America itself. These are not the best of times, nor are they the worst of times. But they are OUR times, and they require our informed and thoughtful attention, analysis, and action.

Emma Roberts' Stunning White Dress — SHOP It For Under $50
Emma Roberts was promoting her new show, 'Scream Queens,' when she rocked the cutest outfit ever. She donned a stunning white dress that fit her like a glove, and while it looks super expensive, you can shop the exact one here for under $50!
Emma Roberts, 24, was the special guest on The Late Late Show With James Corden on Sept. 23, and we have never seen the Scream Queens star look better, right? She donned a silk dress that fit her body like a glove and you can SHOP it here for under $50!
She rocked the white Aritzia Babaton Aksell Dress which was $165 but is currently on sale right now for $49.99 — you better act fast, this is a steal! The slinky silk dress was sleeveless with a crazy plunging neckline and a slit in the front of the midi dress.
She looked like an old Hollywood actress in this plunging dress which she dressed up with the most killer pair of heels we've ever seen. The Valentino Daisy Love Sandals are strappy and feature actual daisies on them with the quote, "Love Me Not," written on them.
Her hair was done up in a classic bouffant with a bun and her makeup was perfect — she looked amazing.
This dress literally looks like it was custom-made for her toned and petite frame. Ever since her new show came out, Emma has been on our style radar because not only does her character, Chanel, rock the most stylish outfits we've ever seen, her style off camera has been even better.
What do you guys think of Emma's look, do you like it?
— Olivia Elgart

Reports that the iPad 3 will feature a super high-density retina display got fresh legs today, after a typically thorough video investigation from iFixit was posted online.
Earlier this week, MacRumours got hold of and examined with a microscope what was purported to be the screen that will feature in Apple's third-generation tablet.
And in a boon for those of us who've been holding out for a better screen since the last iPad, they discovered that its resolution is 2084x1536.
That's twice the linear resolution of the iPad 1 and iPad 2, which is 1024x768, and by most people's estimations more than qualifies the screen for the 'super-high density' tag.
Today, the good people at iFixit, whose rep rests on its exhaustive device teardowns, put the same display to the test. Albeit one that was a little more rigorous, thanks to a USB microscope they just happened to have lying around the place.
The good news? The iFixit coves have confirmed MacRumours' assertion that the pixel density of the screen is exactly twice as crisp as earlier iPad iterations.
This equates to around 260 ppi on the 9.7-inch pane and on paper doesn't meet the criteria of 300 ppi for above that Apple uses as a qualifier for the 'retina display' title.
However, the fact that tablets are usually held further away from people's faces than smartphones means the impression of density will be definitely be approximate to the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4.
The iPad 3 is expected to be unveiled next month, with a spec sheet that's also believed to include a quad-core processor, more memory and a beefier battery.

When are you getting into London for SQLbits? Hope we can chat over some drinks!
Hi Adam,
I'd love to do that, but I have little time available. I'm flying in on wednesday evening (ETA 7:25 PM), and I'll head back home directly after the conference is over (flight departing on saturday evening 8:25 PM), so I can spend the sunnday with my family. So it can be either wednesday evening (starting after I check in at the hotel), and more chat than drinks because I present the next day), thursday evening (maybe the best time, chill out after the training days), or friday evening.
If you're in the Redmond/Seattle/Bellevue area next week, we can start our chat session there, and then continue in London. How does that sound?

So, today I'm posting Megadeth's discography. Just some information from Wikipedia. I am not so sure about adding links to download them, so I'll not do it. Anyways, just enjoy the post.
1.- Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!
Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! is
the debut album by the American heavy metal band
Megadeth, released in June 1985 through Combat
and Relativity Records. During the beginning of 1985,
the band was given $8,000 by Combat Records to
record and produce their debut album, but this proved
to not be enough and so the band were given a further
$4,000. Instead, a majority of the budget was spent on
drugs, alcohol, and food, meaning the band was forced
to fire their original producer and produce the album

Christmas is almost here – two weeks no less, and my tastebuds are craving anything that has even the slightest connotations with Christmas. This week, it was mince pies – mince pies are a very British thing. Cold or warm, with or without cream, either way is fine. More than fine. Either way is a joy to behold. I like to mark December 1 with my first mince pie – y'know, really get that festive ball rolling with what I consider the ultimate sweet Christmas treat. My deep-filled mince pies are topped with icing sugar, with the filling encased inside a sweet and crumbly pastry.
Yields: 10
100g sultanas
100g raisins
100g currants
50g cranberries
25g flaked almonds
1 lemon – zest and juice
1 orange – zest and juice
175g soft brown sugar
70g butter
4 tbsp dark spiced rum
1 tsp mixed spice
1 ball stem ginger, finally chopped
1 tsp ginger syrup
250g plain flour, sifted
75g icing sugar
150g butter, cubed and very cold
2 egg yolks
cold water
Line a muffin tin with butter and dust with flour. Tip it out so each hole is lined with a thin layer of flour. Preheat the oven to 190°C
Make the mincemeat. This ideally can be done ahead of time but it tastes just as good on the day. Tip all the ingredients into a pan and heat. You want the butter to melt and the liquid in the pan to start to bubble slightly. Once you're at this stage, remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
On to the pastry: Cube the butter and set it in the freezer for 10 minutes, along with a small bowl of water. You don't want either to freeze, but you need them to be extra cold to give you the best results.
Combine the flour and icing sugar and tip in the cold butter. Use your fingertips to create a breadcrumb-like consistency. Try and keep your hands cold. Every so often run them under a cold tap and dry them. Once you're happy with the texture, tip in the egg yolks and a small bit of the water and knead together until you reach a smooth dough. You may need to keep adding water until the mixture comes together fully, but don't add too much – be cautious with it
Press the dough into a flat round and set in the fridge for half an hour. Remove the from the fridge and roll out. Cut out circles of approx 5″ – dependant on your muffin tin. Press the disc into the base and up the sides of the muffin hole and repeat the process, leaving half your pastry for the tops. Blind bake in the oven for 12 minutes.
Spoon in the mincemeat and cut out the tops with the same cutter – or even better if you can fine one with decorative edges. Press the edges of the top to meet with the sides and poke holes in the top with a fork. Brush with a beaten egg and bake for a further 15 minutes.
Leave to cool before removing from the tins.
