Larry Summers: Use The Rising Market As An Indicator Of Our Success, But Ignore It When It Is Going Down Please

Sounds like the Larrys are having a cat fight. You would think those two pampered pussies would have nothing to disagree about.
The whole logic reminds me of some other issue...oh yes!
When the temperatures are high, it is global warming.
When temps go low, it's climate change.
Heads I'm right, tails I'm right.
It's "heads I'm right, tails I'm not wrong."
God... how can people still argue there is no global warming when summers are hotter and winters are colder.... extremes of one produce extremes of another.
Rain has now become acidic in some regions, but STILL there's no effect from Carbon. Christ, look over L.A. and tell me if you don't think shit goes up to the sky?
What about the increasing severity of Hurricanes in the Gulf area? Like that isn't a consequence of the large amounts of oil being withdrawn from the ground affecting the water temperature?
This argument is so funny because the people who argue against it only look one move forward. Seriously, consider a chain of events, not a single event. It's all chess people.
This entire interview was carefully scripted from question to bullet point 1 then 2, then 3. It's disgusting. John Harwood is a propaganda tool of the administration. Larry Summers would never agree to go on camera unless the political impact of his "interview" wasn't first carefully calculated. Things are really bad.
So try this for a change:
Things are so bad when I went in to McDonald's today and ordered a Big Mac, the guy asked me if I could afford to have fries with that.
Things are so bad Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.
Things are so bad I started feeling suicidal. So I phoned the suicide hotline......someone in Pakistan answered. I told him I was feeling suicidal and he got all excited and asked me if I know how to drive a truck.
If one listens to the railroads rather then "message" of a liquidity morphine filled market, or disjointed US economic reports massaged by years of politicial influence - you get a different story on the US economy.
if larry summers took just one small half dose of
ex-lax he would disappear down a toilet flush
into eternal oblivion....
Hysterical. LMAO.
Better yet... if you gave him an Alka-Seltzer after his steady stream of morning Diet Cokes, you would have one heck of an explosion.
Today after being offered a mentos larry summers launched 30,000 feet into the air before banging his head on the underbelly of TWA flight 69. When questioned the CIA had no response but were seen ordering mentos through their security enhanced Iphones.
"Supreme epitome?" Now, I have seen some excesses on this blog, and that's OK, but this is going too far. If something is the epitome, there is no other, and therefore no comparison. So there can be no supreme epitome.
On the plus side, those two words together make it sound like you're spitting. Which is entirely appropriate for this situation.
while we are bitching about ignorant grammar my
all time favorite is the way lesser is used....
more ignorant statements have been used with that
word than all others combined...except for hopefully
There is a long list of Fat Ass economic idiots that should be jailed. Larry Summers is on that list. Time will tell. But, if I were to guess you belong on that list too, Jimbo.
This is a great site! Thanks, Tyler. (Yeah, I know, I'm late for the party!)
Larry Summers is the quintessential ego-maniac. He has never made a mistake in his entire life (if you doubt this, just ask him), and condemns anyone who has the slightest disagreement with him. On matters related to public policy and financial "reform", his decisions and recommendations over the past 15 years have done significant harm to the US economy. A few examples here:
- The driving force behind the repeal of Glass-Steagall
- "Strong" US dollar policy fiasco (Clinton Admin.) and "Bubble Creator"; his infamous speech in 1995 ("We cannot and will not accept any speed limit on American growth")
- Strangely, he was clueless about "what went wrong" during the meltdown in 2000
- Manipulation of gold and silver markets (Clinton Admin.)
- Manipulation of interest rates; go here for an interesting paper by Summers on "Gibson's Paradox":
- A total disaster during his tenure at Harvard; he singlehandedly ruined a great university, which has yet to recover its derivative losses from Summers strong recommendations
- Manipulation of all markets (Obama Admin: stocks, bonds, precious metals, currencies, etc.). Go here for an interesting read:
The man deserves a life sentence in jail!
You're guides worked diligently and tirelessly to get you to the point where you could be led by this fine arrogant wrong stupid man and you go and shit on their breakfast. What can we do here. You're just going to have to redouble you effort to learn how to get along with this becuase the universe is intent on having all the sociopathic lying manipulative piece of crap abusive people in charge.
By the way you are a piss-poor guesser. I hope you're not in the financial business.
I agree - 110% ... ;-)
There once was a man named Larry,
Who gave prophecies to Barry,
Repealed Glass-Steagall
Looked at price of silv'eagle
And gave the bill back, now it's scary
Arrogant ignorant slob.
Larry Summers - thy name is R-tard.
By the way Tyler, Naked Capitalism this morning has an original and very hard-hitting analysis of the AIG CDOs, Maiden Lane III, and related discussion of the Fed coverup in progress. Worthy of highlighting here?
Unfortunately, both sides of the political spectrum are playing the "stock market indicator" game. The administration refers to the movements of the market when it goes up and right-wing mouthpieces refer to market movements whenever there's a dip. Both are playing the propaganda game.
Limbaugh will often track the market on down days and blame the fall on Obama's policies. Up days will pass without a mention of the market. Glenn Beck actually tried to draw an inverse correlation between Obama's approval rating and the performance of the S&P 500 on Wednesday's show. I couldn't believe it was the same guy who did the segments on the Fed monetizing debt.
We keep hearing that corporate taxes should be lowered to stimulate job growth, but I haven't heard a word in the MSM about how taxes have already been lowered. ZH had an illustration of the cratering in business tax withholdings a couple months ago. Homebuilders, Intel, Alcoa, GE, and other large companies have benefited from tax breaks in the last two quarters which allowed them to beat low earnings estimates. Many of these companies are still laying off people to keep their earnings above estimates. Why don't we hear about the large bonuses Intel is paying out AFTER they sent so many people to the unemployment line?
We already know about much of the BS from the left, but it's been awfully interesting to watch Fox News play defense for the banks this week. If either side sees an opportunity to exploit a weakness of the other, it will be taken. I pay attention to the MSM for info and roll my eyes at the spin.
You disagreed with right wing zealots, which is why one of their flunkies flagged your post as junk. When I think of people who believe in the Republican talking points, I just imagine them plugging their ears and going "nananana" the whole time Bush was president, but finding fault with everything Obama did the day he was elected.
Another interesting point is that these pundits blamed Clinton for every bad thing that happened during the Bush years, but now they say "isn't it time we stop bashing Bush and blame the man who's in the White House now?"
Blatant hypocrisy. To list it all, I could go on for days.
With that said, when will people learn that the markets' recent action have nothing to do with the day to day news.
The bounce since March was predicated on extremely oversold technicals and a correction from the violent and vicious drop that the market took before.
Now, the drop in the market results from the culmination of a rising wedge on the charts that has been forming for months now. I even predicted this week's fall to one of my friends last Friday. NOW she believes me...
Still, to suggest that the day to day fluctuations and even longer term trends relies on news is totally BS. While there is some correlation between the markets and the fundamentals, news is something else altogether.
There has been bad news throughout much of the rally, but NOW all the sudden the news is making an impact? I just don't buy it.
There are pure technical reasons for this pullback, just like there were pure technical reasons for the rally (and government interference to keep it going).
With all of that said, the people who watch and believe Faux News as if it's gospel are some of the slower people on the planet. Fair and balanced my ass.
Good points, Bates. And thanks for backing me up on the right to question both sides at the same time.
Once the prevalence of technical influence on the markets during this rally became apparent(such as upward channels, preordained or not), I was able to eliminate a lot of day-to-day frustration over market performance in relation to the news.
As for your comments about "Bush supporters," I know exactly what you mean. Before the TARP fiasco and before I discovered outlets such as ZH, I was one of the hardcore "conservative Republicans" who made excuses for the wars and expenditures. I still consider myself to be conservative, but not in the way mouthpieces attempt to define the term.
People need to question media figures. It's irresponsible to say, "That host agrees with me on 'x' and 'y,' so what he has to say on 'z' must be so." There is nothing wrong with paying attention to the media, but some people look to reporters or hosts as infallible. That becomes dangerous.
Nothing like Constitutional protection to create corporate untouchables.
Summers needs to go eat a bullet for his country.
Summers: "Can't let policies be guided by day to day market movements"
Must have been two days.
What a crock of shit this guy is.
Summers is a self-righteous pig. Spent to much time in the ivory towers looking down on us peasants.
Now where is my Bob Marley Exodus album so I can pretend I am somewhere else.
If the market was jacked up by lax regulation,crony politics, lax accounting standards, etc what does everyone expect?....when you come off heroin do you think it doesn't hurt?...since it hurts should you just keep feeding the addict heroin? The market and the bankers want its heroin...too bad
Warren, a Harvard professor and the chief of the TARP Congressional Oversight Panel, told Maddow that she's encouraged not only by the new proposals to limit banks, but also by the president's renewed commitment to an independent consumer financial protection agency. Warren:
"I feel better than I've felt in a long time. Because what I've heard the president saying on the Consumer Financial Protection Agency is, 'It's not going down. I'm here, I'm not giving up on it. There is not going to be a compromise to cave in on it.' I heard him say that we're going to tax those large financial institutions, and we're going to make them pay back all of the money under TARP. And then today, I heard him say we're gonna break apart too-big-to-fail. And we're going to have an answer, so that every financial institution, if it makes big enough mistakes, if it takes big enough risks and loses, every one of them, can in the end, die.... And what I hear in that is that... the financial institutions have pushed him hard... [Obama] is pushing right back."
"You're not wrong Larry, you're just an asshole."
Scum buckets like him have the president's ear. It's hopeless.
This fat pos summers is beyond belief. When he is opening his mouth its either to lie or to confuse. I love this recent claim that he and timmy wrote this reimplementation of glass-steagall after it was him who worked so hard to destroy it in the first place in the 90s under that piece-of-work Clinton. All these bastards are slime and should be lined up and shot.
I still love the fact that Obama proudly exclaimed some months ago that he doesn't read the "blogs". Of course, that doesn't stop me from emailing relevant posts (such as this one) to the White House. The longer it takes Mr. Change to get a frickin' clue and start reading some people who aren't kissing his ass (or whose ass he's kissing), the sooner he'll bumble into irrelevancy -- assuming he's not already there.
Larry should go on "This Week" or "Meet the Press" this Sunday and avoid answering EVERY SINGLE FUCKING QUESTION. Like he did the last time he was on.
Somebody bury this useless tool please.
Perhaps I should remind all that Larry Summers is "...the smartest guy in the room."
the headline on this post is in my top 10 for ZH.
I'm also reminded of the classic axiom, 'live by the sword, die by the sword.'
Front Running the Fed
Attached is some information from a reader. I cannot assess its validity, not being in the bond trading business. But it does sound like someone has tapped into the Fed's buying plans to monetize the public debt and is front running those buys, essentially 'stealing' money from the public. Its what they call 'a sure thing.'
To try and figure out who might be doing it, I would look for some big player who is showing extraordinary returns on their trading, with consistent profit that is not statistically 'normal,' too consistently good. The problem with cheaters is that they sometimes get greedy and call attention to themselves.
In Las Vegas the bigger cheats were often taken out into the desert for further inquiry and final disposition. On Wall Street they are somewhat more arrogant and persistent, defying resolution with that ultimate defiance, "We'll just find other ways to cheat again."
Time for a trip to the desert?
Larry Summers is America's ultimate douche bag...just ask the folks at the country's top university. Change will only begin when the three stooges (Summers, Geithner and Bernanke) are tossed out of the White House; short of that, Obama is simply playing politics.
He isn't trustworthy and I don't believe a word he says. These new rules are a reaction to something more problematic, like federal debt issuance and the need to find buyers, otherwise why would it have been shelved for so long?
I'd like to see TTT and LS get walking papers but that wouldn't look good for the administration now would it.
Stock prices are outputs not inputs. Stop asking what you need to do to make stock prices increase. If you implement sound economic, fiscal and monetary policies, the equity markets will take care of themselves.
"Larry's statement that it is perfectly ok to use the market response when things are going ok, but to ignore it when its says the administration has fucked up beyond compare, is the supreme epitome of hypocrisy."
Is it hypocrisy, or is it, "amabocrisy," which is my second favorite new word, after, "prestidigiflation."
So... we're off ~4% and now the market is "down"?
Hmm... but gold is just "consolidating".
I've consulted with the usual experts who contribute the current dive in gold to such things as "the flight to the dollar safehaven".
They said that the reason gold is "consolidating" is because it's a solid. Con-solid-ating.
Ya gotta admit, Summers can take it to another level, really an art form, talk on and on without really saying a fecking thing. What has this guy done, other than take up space?
Show Bernanke and Geithner the Door
What has the financial crisis taught us? Among other things, we should show Bernanke and Geithner, enablers from the previous administration, the door. Paul Volcker is right to ask for a return to Glass-Steagall. It worked until it was eroded over several decades by bank lobbying. Banking and speculative trading activities--even when done for "customers"--don't mix.
"Financial innovation" must be limited, since much of it in recent years was the financial equivalent of card cheating. Banks should not be allowed to sponsor hedge funds and private equity funds, and furthermore, they should not be allowed to lend to them through prime brokerage units or other means. Financial institutions must be allowed to fail. Hedge funds require regulation. Malfeasance should be investigated and prosecuted. Credit derivatives should be traded and cleared through exchanges and made transparent. Compensation and financial incentives at banks must change. Bank employees cannot continue to reap huge rewards at no personal risk while shoving risk into the global financial system.
President Obama promised us change, and he should seize this opportunity to demand sweeping financial reform.
When Obama promised "change," what he meant was that people of color would have the power for a change. He had no idea that being president might involve work for all of the American people. He knew absolutely nothing about banking, derivatives, or the Federal Reserve, and couldn't have cared less. He wanted to ride on Air Force One.
I'm pretty tired of hearing how now he's going to get on the ball and change things so the economy will get better. He has absolutely no idea about the economy. Unfortunately, political events have forced his nose into the middle of it. Now he's trying to figure out if Summers or Volker have the right idea. Unforunately for him, these guys are has beens and have no clue. Things will keep drifting, deteriorating, deleveraging. That's good. It's about time this whole fractional Federal Reserve house of cards debt comes crashing down. Can you get your head around how far down we may have to go to get back to sound money? What was the Dow in 1972 when we went off the gold standard? What was it in 1913?
Things are bad. Things are so bad that if the bank returns your check marked "insufficient funds" you better call them and ask if the mean you or them.
The mafia is laying off judges.
Exxon Mobil is laying off congressmen.
Things are really bad, so........try this:
Will the new regulations apply to FRAM, federal reserve asset management?
Obama promised change but once he got into the White House he found out the President has limited power and the banksters hold all the cards. Political inexperience for Mr Hope and Change. Seems like a nice guy.
Larry Summers is one of the prime examples of how one can receive a first class 'education' and still be a first class idiot.
My Mother had no option when she was young but to leave school at the age of 14 - she displays more intelligence, insight and common sense than Summers, Rubin, Bernanke, Greenspan, Paulson et al.

EPICS depends on the support of corporations, foundations, institutions, and friends of EPICS to carry out its programs. Your involvement can be either in the form of financial support (please see information below) and/or leadership support both at the local program level as well as the national program level.
Gifts to the National EPICS Program: Examples of What Your Donation Can Support
- operation and development of existing EPICS programs
- dissemination of the EPICS model
- facilitation of national teams
- growth of the national program infrastructure
Operation and development of existing EPICS programs
- Team expenses: EPICS prototypes are deployed with not-for-profit corporations located off-campus or with university organizations. Gift funds may be used to acquire the hardware, software, or other materials that must be purchased for the construction and deployment of the team's prototypes.
- Student travel: These funds may be used to cover the cost of student travel between EPICS sites or to cover the student travel expenses associated with long distance meetings for a particular project. The programmatic support will provide the necessary funds to ensure that students can travel to areas related to their teams' projects as the need arises.
- Student Presentation Opportunities: Representatives of EPICS are often asked to make special presentations regarding the program at key events and activities. Students are often the best spokespersons for such events as the students' perspectives on the success of the program are highly compelling. However, there are often costs associated in preparing the professional level presentations expected for these events such as display boards and posters and general handout materials. Gift funds can help to cover the expenses associated with such presentations so that more of these opportunities can be realized for students. Students can be given more chances to advance their professional presentation skills and network with members of strategic audiences.
- Laboratory Supplies and Materials: EPICS programs are responsible for providing laboratory space and the basic infrastructure required for students to design, develop, and test their prototypes. Gift funds can assist in supplying the materials students need to perform their essential team functions.
- Awards and Recognition: Recognition is an important part of the educational experience for deserving students. EPICS would like to further recognize both individual and team achievement. For example, the program would like to host celebration events to honor the deployment of resources to a community partner when a key project is completed. Your gift funds will help to make these recognition events possible.
Dissemination of the EPICS model
Gift funds can help to provide resources for the development of new sites; conferences; workshops; dissemination materials, etc.
Back to Top
Facilitation of national teams
Gifts funds can help to cover the expenses incurred by the student teams in the development of tools for their national project partner. Your gift can also help to provide funding that will foster improved team interaction, for example: travel funds for students to visit other sites regarding team-related activities; technology that enhances their ability to communicate and share information across geographic distances.

The Other God Delusion
Memo to Richard Dawkins: BE BETTER. Memo to everyone else: YOU TOO.
As a semi-practicing atheist, there are certain headlines that will catch my eye and automatically raise my blood pressure. So it was with trepidation and hypertension that I read this, from the dung beetles of the Internet news world, the Huffington Post.
"Richard Dawkins, Famous Atheist, Appeals To God On Radio Program"
On the face of it, this struck me as extremely unlikely. I don't follow Richard Dawkins super-duper closely, but from what I do know about him, the chances of him having a sudden epiphany and conversion are extremely slim. And the chances of this happening on the radio? As nonexistent as God.
And, of course, on the face of it, it was complete bullshit. What happened was this. Dawkins claimed that most Christians couldn't name the first book of the New Testament, and were therefore shitty Christians. The shitty Christian debating him, Rev. Giles Fraser, challenged Dawkins to name the full title of Darwin's seminal work on evolution. And here's what Dawkins said:
"'On The Origin Of Species' ... Uh. With, Oh God. 'On The Origin Of Species.' There is a subtitle with respect to the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life."
Let me tell you something about that "Oh God" you probably already know. Richard Dawkins, along with the rest of us, have been immersed in the language of belief all our lives. And since Dawkins is 70, that's a long time to be immersed. Little verbal tics like "Oh God" are ingrained in the language, and there's no atheist equivalent worth a goddamn. They either sound awkward, wanky, or both. It's actually one of the most irritating day-to-day realities of being an atheist, to be perfectly honest. So Dawkins didn't appeal to God, or, as the Daily Mail put it, "invoke the name of the deity in which he does not believe".
Next time you're in fear that we're turning into a society dominated by secularism, try to come up with something as satisfying, semantically, as "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST". Then rest comfortably in the knowledge that Christianity still holds sway over the English language, and shut the fuck up, for Christ's sake.
Unfortunately, in reading the article and the cause for Dawkins' utterance, I learned that Dawkins somehow managed to get himself caught out by a shitty argument. And since there aren't a lot of famous atheists, and it's arguable there are any atheists more famous than Dawkins, it's kind of imperative that he not get caught out in shitty arguments.
It's true that most Christians are ignorant of, or don't bother following, a lot of the tenets of their faith. It's also true that a lot of Christians are ignorant of the trivia around their books and rituals. So are the adherents of most religions. But that's not a great argument against religion. I mean, this is religion we're talking about. Intellectual vigor is not part of the standard package. It's a luxury option, and the Jesuits cornered the market on it anyway.
But if you're going to make that argument, there's no excuse for not being prepared to name any book any god-botherer is going to assume is "your Bible". There's only like three of them they ever think up, and even though none of them are actually analogous to a Bible, you should still be prepared. There's On The Origin Of Species. There's The God Delusion, which Dawkins will never get asked about because, well, he wrote it. And maybe, as a distant third, Hitchens' "God Is Not Great". But odds are, it's gonna be the Darwin.
So HAVE THAT SHIT READY. Subtitle and all. Rattle it off like you actually do pray to it every night, even though the connection between Darwin's research and atheism are tenuous at best and largely manufactured by creationist-leaning assholes. Have that shit ready anyway. I know it's more words than their answer, which is just "Matthew", but you're smarter than they are, you can handle it.
Because when you fuck up like that, on a question that doesn't even matter debating a point that doesn't even matter, it makes us all look bad. I know it sucks being The Atheist. I wish there were more of you, too. But there aren't, and until you can convince some more people to write provocative books that get a lot of press, we really don't have that kind of margin for that kind or error.
Just don't sweat the "God" thing. You won't find any way around that crap. Believe me, I've tried.

The South Carolina State Museum has opened a new exhibit dealing with the Revolutionary War in South Carolina. The exhibit is located on the Museum's fourth floor.
The exhibit is the brainchild of the Museum's Education Assistant, Hilary Brannock and tells the story of the Revolutionary War through 23 placards.
Brannock said the purpose of the exhibit is to educate people about the War and, particularly, the War in South Carolina. "there were over 200 battles fought here." Brannock also pointed out that, while the War started in Lexington and Concord, it wasn't long before blood was shed in the south, there was a skirmish at Ninety Six in November, 1775.
Also, by March of 1776, South Carolina was a "free colony" with its own Constitution and an elected Governor. "we kicked the (Royal) Governor out in 1775.
Part of the exhibit deals with the role that South Carolina played in the war, "without the (Patriot) victories at Kings Mountain and Cowpens, we could have lost the war." Brannock said.
The exhibit was a collaborative effort between the Museum's exhibits dept and their History curator, JoAnn Zeitz and was made possible by a grant by the South Carolina Humanities Council.
The exhibit is on display until August 17 and is included in the regular Museum admission. Click here for admission details. The front entrance to the Museum has reopened after being closed for several months die to construction.

Popular Seattle mega-pastor, Mark Driscoll, announced on August 24, that he would temporarily step down as leader of the Mars Hill Church dynasty due to charges against him by 21 pastors in his organization. However, four days later, nine of the Mars Hill Church's 65 pastors "called for Mark Driscoll to step down not for six weeks but for a full year," according to a Christianity Today article by Morgan Lee, posted online on September 3.
To his credit, Driscoll has admitted that some charges were his fault "and I will own it, confess it, and move on from it as God continues to redeem me." For a minimum of six weeks he had planned to "process, heal, and grow" while the accusations against him are reviewed.
Driscoll is known for his frank sermons, which sometimes include slang (if not vulgar, at least crude) words, and sexual humor. Preaching about Jesus as a man's man, Driscoll's sermons appeal to men. He is a popular pastor of the Reformed Theological position, and founded his emergent church 18 years ago.
Concerns against him include plagiarism, pride and other character flaws, and leadership style. Other well known megachurch pastors who have stepped down this year include Bob Coy.in Florida, due to immorality (April, 2014), and James MacDonald in Chicago, allegedly due to gambling and misappropriation of funds (July 2014).
It seems that these are the three areas where Christians most likely fall into sin—pride, sex, love of money. Every Christian, no matter how passionately he or she desires to please God and serve Him faithfully, must beware of temptations from these three sources.
First John 2:15-17 calls them "all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh [sex], the lust of the eyes [love of money], and the pride of life. In other words—passions, possessions, pride.
The failures of Christian leaders should remind us to watch out for and control our desires. The lust to do—pleasurable things that can hurt our bodies, the lust to have—more for ourselves, and the lust to be—famous and important.
Very few people can handle popularity—the power goes to their heads. They think the rules don't apply to them and they deserve the worship people give them.
High office often leads to low morals and misuse of authority. Authority can cause leaders to bend the rules to benefit themselves, because they can, and to lose concern for their fellow man.
Martin Luther said, "Every age, even in the faithful, hath his peculiar temptations: as fleshly lusts assail a man most of all in his youth, in his middle-age ambition and vain-glory, and in his old-age, covetousness" (Luther's commentary on Galatians, p. 511).
First John 2:15 tells us not to love the world or the things that characterize it. Mark Driscoll's experience should help us all take stock of our motives and desires so we will avoid spiritual and moral failures.
Proverbs 16:18 says, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." Mark Driscoll is learning that lesson. May we all learn from his unfortunate example and not from our own failures involving pride, sex, and/or love of money.

On December 13, nine female inmates currently serving time in the Tennessee Department of Corrections stood for a photograph. This time it was not a mug shot, but of the inmates receiving their associates of arts college degrees.
It is a happy ending to eight years of studying, taking tests, and attending class in the prison on Wednesday nights. It is all part of a program through Lipscomb University called the "Lipscomb Life Program."
Some of the inmates who graduated will be released back into society within the next 18 months. A few will never leave. It is estimated 98% of inmates who are currently incarcerated in the United States will be released into society. Over 50% of those on parole will return to behind bars due to a parole violation. The program is one way to assist inmates find gainful employment, a usual condition of parole, so they are not part of the returning population.
Self esteem seems to take part in receiving a diploma. There were tears of joy that day. There were certainly a lot of smiling faces.
Inmate Donna McCoy was incarcerated in November of 1997. In December 2013 she received her degree. She is serving a life sentence. She hopes the degree will give her the skills to assist females entering the system, to help them learn about themselves and to stay out of prison. McCoy and a codefendant were charged with first degree felony murder and aggravated burglary when McCoy assisted in the burglary of a home and stabbed to death Theresa Lindsey in Hamilton County.
Tone' Hill, also serving a life sentence, received her degree. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she accepted the scroll.
Markeisha Seagraves was incarcerated in 2001 and will be released in 2015. Tabitha Slack entered the system in 2002 and will also be released in 2015. Both graduated, walking proudly across the stage in traditional cap and gown. Barbi Brown was the speaker for the graduation ceremony. Brown is serving time for Especially Aggravated Robbery.

A balanced diet is a basic part of good health at all times in your life. During pregnancy, your diet is even more important. The foods you eat are the main source of nutrients for your baby. As your baby grows, you will need more of most nutrients.
Early in pregnancy, morning sickness can affect your eating habits. You may crave certain foods or not feel like eating. If this happens, try to take a variety of food [1] or a reliable antenatal health supplement daily to help ensure you are getting the right amount & variety of nutrients for you and your growing baby.

We will save time, which means you will save money
CAT tools (Computer Aided Translation) make translation an interactive process between human and computer. Industry surveys report that using CAT tools allow linguists to work 40% times faster.
Our team uses industry leading CAT software tools for faster and more accurate turnaround of your content. By using CAT technology, you can be assured that less time is spent on manual transactions to your content, and more time is devoted to quality of translation.
The case for Machine Translation
When creativity is important it is better to trust actual linguists for your translation needs. However Machine Translation (MT) can be appropriate for some content, we will work with you to ensure the success of your program whether MT is part of the process or not.
MT is a process. To give acceptable results the MT engine must first be fed with content specific to the domain and then be trained with iterative round of reviews (post editing) by human translators. This approach requires a certain amount of scale to deliver at a lower cost without sacrificing quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I save money using Machine Translations (MT)?
Machine Translation is software that provides quick, easy and inexpensive translations of text. However, as with anything that is purely automated, the delivered quality may not be exactly on par with human translations.
We are accustomed to thinking that computers & software are productivity-enhancing tools, and MT promises to accelerate and decrease the cost of the translation of any text from any language to any other language. In addition, with the accessibility of free online MT tools like Google Translate, it is becoming ubiquitous. Now, the reality today is that the technology behind machine translation has made big progress but it is still not perfect, and in many cases proves disappointing if not used carefully.
For clients who already use machine translations, we provide services of human review, post editing, and QA processes. If you are interested in using machine translation for your business we will review the characteristics of your program to investigate the feasibility of implementing MT successfully.
Is MT the same as using "Google Translate" or "BING"?
There are lots of opinions about using free translation software for machine translations such as Google or Bing, or some other free online tool.
Google Translate is a free translation tool that provides instant translations covering 64 different languages.
It can translate words, sentences and web pages. When Google Translate generates a translation, it looks for patterns in hundreds of millions of documents to help decide on the best translation for you. This process of seeking patterns in large amounts of text is called "statistical machine translation". Since the translations are generated by machines, not all translation will be perfect. Source: Google Translate
Bing Translator (previously Live Search Translator and Windows Live Translator) is a translation portal provided by Microsoft as part of its Bing services to translate texts or entire web pages into different languages. All translation pairs are powered by Microsoft Translator statistical machine translation platform and web service, developed by Microsoft Research, as its backend translation software.
Be warned, according to Microsoft:
Language translation is extremely difficult, as the meaning of words and phrases often depends on the context and specialized knowledge of the domain area or culture. Sentence structures and grammatical rules vary significantly between two languages, which adds to the complexity of the translation challenge. Currently, it still requires human skills to translate sentences without errors. The quality of today's most advanced translation software is well below the accuracy and fluency of a professional translator, and many sentences are simply not understandable. Researchers are continuously working on improvements, but it may be many years before high quality translation can be consistently offered by a computer. Source: Microsoft Translator

A popular Internet-based comedy series that pokes fun at life in Vancouver is looking for help to film more episodes.
Brighton West, a Portland filmmaker, launched "Vancouvria" in December as a spoof on "Portlandia," a sketch comedy show on the Independent Film Channel about life in Portland.
West, 39, has produced five episodes of "Vancouvria" through YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/Vancouvria.
So far, the channel has received about 45,000 hits. West and his crew would like to put together a special season finale and start work on a second season that would debut on the Web when the new season of "Portlandia" airs in December.
This week he launched a Kickstarter project to help raise $3,500 to produce those episodes at http://kck.st/DreamOfSuburbs. The fundraiser will run though April 26.
"We hope to make a really big season finale and pay for the next season, which we'll film this summer," West said. "It would be great because we haven't even been able to pay our actors or crew yet."
Those working on the show are from both Portland and Vancouver. The writers have finished a few scripts for season two, he said.
The money will pay for equipment rentals, makeup, props and food for the cast and crew during filming. It takes about eight hours to film each episode, he said.
If he can't get the funding, West still hopes to produce a season finale, he added.
"We still want to do a finale, but it probably wouldn't be as big," West said. "We're hoping some people like the show enough to pledge $10 so we can keep it going. We'd love to have more community support."

Students at Hans Christensen Middle School enjoyed a real treat to start their Halloween morning, a live performance in the campus courtyard by their very own Royal Knights choir and band.
Each Halloween, the Hans Christensen advanced choir and symphonic band debut an annual Halloween performance of spooky inspired music for their parents, teachers, and peers to enjoy. On a chilly October morning, 150 students performed the likes of "Night Flight of the Gargoyles," "Tunes That Go Bump In The Night," "Purple People Eater," and the "Addams Family" theme song to an enamored audience.
At precisely 8:15, a startling clash of cymbals and a subsequent cheer from the crowd announced the beginning of the 30-minute long performance that followed. Led by their animated director and teacher, Craig Yancy, musicians and singers alike were all smiles as they joyfully produced an excellent display of sound.
Tuba player Nicholas Novak managed his rather large instrument like a true professional, expertly balancing it on his knee as he played. When asked how he decided to play the tuba, Nicholas answered, "I started with the trumpet, but Mr. Yancy let me play the tuba once and I have been playing it ever since."
The Royal Knights will have the opportunity to perform at Disneyland in the coming months, as well as to compete in the annual Band & Choir Competition, in which they usually place very highly.

Reviews for Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
"My daughter has a gluten allergy, this is a great option for her!"
"I made these with 1/2 c. Truvia Baking Mix instead of sugar. I also added a tsp. baking soda and the texture was better."
"These were okay, but not as good as regular pb cookie recipes. Crumbled easy and had a grainy taste. I'm sticking with tried and true recipe. Amazing though it only took 3 ingredients. Would make in a pinch. Always have those ingredients on hand."
"I was really skeptical about only 3 ingredients but they're good! I also used brown sugar and cut it down to half a cup and put one chocolate chip on top."
"Great recipe for new little "bakers" to help prepare! No worries about over mixing and dough is ready in minures. We roll these in sugar before placing on cookie sheet lined with Silpat. Cookies do not spread. Bake for only about 10 minutes in our oven. Easiest cookie recipe you will find!"

After leaving her mark on the Mississippi State volleyball record book during a sterling four-year career as a player, Jenny (Head) Hazelwood is well underway with MSU record book revisions in her sixth season as MSU's head volleyball coach.
Hazelwood starred as a setter on the volleyball courts at MSU's Humphrey Coliseum and the Newell-Grissom Building from 1996 to 1999 and rejoined the Mississippi State family in January 2009 as the 10th volleyball head coach in the 39-year history of the Bulldog program. Seasoned with nine years as a head volleyball coach on the collegiate level, the Pearland, Texas, native returned to her alma mater following a successful two-year stint as head coach at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn.
In her six seasons, Hazelwood has slowly helped the Bulldogs progress despite an array of injuries that have set the Bulldogs back. Despite a 9-22 posting in her first season at the helm, Hazelwood upped the Bulldogs' win total for the next two campaigns, making strides across the court for the program. Most recently in 2013, MSU posted 12 victories, including the program's first ever consecutive sweeps of SEC opponents with home wins against South Carolina and Tennessee. Hazelwood's Bulldogs capped the season with an impressive 3-1 victory in Knoxville, Tenn., defeating the Volunteers on away soil for the first time since 1995. 2013 brought State one of its best home seasons in school history, with the eight home victories being the second-most all-time. MSU's nine nonconference wins also noted as the most since Hazelwood's 2011 squad downed 11.
Along the way Hazelwood-coached Bulldog players have earned conference and national honors for their success on the court and in the classroom. State's 2009 unit earned AVCA Academic All-America team honors, the fourth such honor for the MSU program, and matched a school record with nine SEC Academic Honor Roll selections. Libero Kayla Woodard in 2010 became the third player at Mississippi State to earn CoSIDA Academic All-America team honors. Also in 2010, Ashley Newsome became MSU's first All-SEC honoree in 10 seasons and a year later Caitlin Rance joined that growing list of All-SEC performers at Mississippi State. 2013 saw State earn its first ever AVCA All-American selections, while also posting one All-SEC honor and four on the All-SEC Academic list.
Hazelwood has also overseen dramatic improvements to the Bulldogs' home court in six seasons. The addition of new sound and lighting systems and a new scoreboard, an upgrade of locker room and team areas and the installation of colorful banners to both the interior and exterior areas of the facility are among the latest enhancements at the Newell-Grissom Building.
Fan support for Bulldog volleyball has mirrored State's steady climb under Hazelwood's guidance. The top five and all but one of the top 10 attendance marks at the Newell-Grissom Building have come during Hazelwood's term as head coach. State eclipsed the 1,000-mark twice in 2011, including a facility-record 3,024 for the Bulldogs' season-opener. Later in the same season in a match played in Humphrey Coliseum State established a state collegiate volleyball attendance mark when 4,525 fans cheered the Bulldogs on to a program-first win over a nationally-ranked opponent, 25th-ranked Kentucky. In the most recent season, attendance it the 1,000+ mark twice, including when 1,633 packed State's home venue in an ESPNU broadcast against Ole Miss. The season total of 7,199 in attendance at Newell-Grissom marked a new single-season record for the facility.
Hazelwood has been on a fast track in the pursuit of her goal to coach volleyball on the collegiate level.
Upon graduation from Mississippi State in the spring of 2000, she stayed in the Magnolia State to launch her coaching career, serving for two seasons as head volleyball coach at NCAA Division III member Mississippi College in Clinton, Miss. While directing the Choctaws' program, she was responsible for recruiting players that garnered American Southwest Conference East Division Freshman of the Year honors in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
She continued her coaching career in 2002 at Centenary College in Shreveport, La. During five seasons at Centenary her teams took on the likes of Virginia and Southeastern Conference foes Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Tennessee and though often-times out-matched, managed to register a 48-138 worksheet. She guided her initial Centenary team, one with two players from a three-win club the previous season, to a 13-win campaign. That feat earned her Independent Coach of the Year national honors in 2002. Two players from her 2006 team earned Mid-Continent Conference (now Summit League) All-Freshman team honors, the first all-conference honors ever accorded to a Centenary volleyball player.
Hazelwood accepted the head coaching post at Austin Peay State University in 2007, guiding a team that returned just six letter-winners and three starters to an 8-25 finish in her first season coaching the Lady Govs. Her second APSU edition drew national attention when it produced a 14-win improvement and rated as college volleyball's most dramatic turnaround that fall. That Lady Gov team, picked to finish ninth in the 10-team Ohio Valley Conference, compiled a 22-11 worksheet and surprised league foes with a third-place finish and a win out of first place.
One of Hazelwood's prized recruits, junior outside hitter Stephanie Champine, accorded first-team All-OVC and OVC All-Newcomer team honors and became the first Austin Peay player to receive American Volleyball Coaches Association's All-Midwest Region team honors.
Additionally, her 2008 team was selected by the league's coaches and players for the Ohio Valley Conference Sportsmanship Award.
Hazelwood set the stage for her career in coaching with a remarkable four-year playing career at Mississippi State University.
She stepped in as a freshman and claimed the role as State's starting setter, establishing the school single-season mark as a rookie in 1996 with 1,541 assists. It was a tough act to follow, but she managed to register three of MSU's top four best assist totals, concluding her career with a school-record 5,505 career assists, then the fourth-most in SEC history. She claimed the single-match assist mark in the opening competition of her senior campaign in 1999 when she dished out a school-best 83 assists in a five-set win at UNC-Charlotte.
In addition to quarterbacking the Volleyball Bulldog offense, Hazelwood also starred on defense during her MSU career with 1,107 digs and at the net with 211 total blocks. At Mississippi State Hazelwood played for head coaches Samye Johnson (1996) and Brenda Bowlin (1997-99). And during her career, MSU volleyball moved into its current home, the Newell-Grissom Building (1997), set a school record for conference wins (1998) and established the home single-match attendance record (1999).
Hazelwood's success was not limited to the volleyball court. She excelled in the classroom, becoming the first Bulldog volleyball player to earn SEC Academic Honor Roll honors all four of her collegiate years. Additionally, she was honored as the recipient of MSU's Newsom Award for athletic and academic excellence.
MSU volleyball's tradition of academic success has continued in Hazelwood's first three seasons at State, where MSU players have earned a combined 36 berths on the SEC Academic Honor Roll and SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll.
Hazelwood is married to Clinton, Miss., native Brian Hazelwood, a two-time All-Southeastern Conference placekicker during his football career at Mississippi State (1995 to 1998). He later played four seasons as a placekicker in the arenafootball2 league, earning second-team all-league honors in three of his four seasons and in 2011 joined the Volleyball Bulldog staff as a volunteer assistant.
The Hazelwoods are the parents of two children, Allison Riley and Andrew Brian.

At least he'll be moving somewhere I can still snuggle with him every once in a while! And yes, I snuggle with my chickens… don't judge me!

African Elections Project coverage of Ghana 2012 General Elections is over. Visit www.africanelections.org for your authoritative updates of Elections in Africa
EC declares President Mahama is winner
Posted : 09 Dec 2012
by AEP Editor
President John Mahama, retains presidency
The Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Dr. Kwadwo Afari-Gyan has declared President John Dramani Mahama winner of the presidential elections.
He polled 5.57 million or 50.70 percent of the 10,995,262 valid votes cast to edge out closest challenger, Nana Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party who polled 5.24 million votes or 47.74 percent.
As high as 251,720 of the total 11,246,982 votes cast were deemed invalid or rejected. Total registered voters stood at 14,158,890.
In all eight men including an independent candidate contested to become the next president. Also at stake was the contest for 275 seats in parliament by 1,332 candidates from 14 of the 23 registered political parties. Out of the number, 133 are female contestants.
This is the sixth time that Ghanaians have gone to the polls to elect a President and Members of Parliament after the country returned to civilian rule in 1992, following 3 previous democratic regimes that were truncated and interspersed by 5 different military interventions since the country gained independence in 1957 from the British.
The election was a closely fought one which made it difficult for an early prediction of the winner. This is the lowest win an incumbent party going for a second term has got since Ghana returned to democratic rule in 1992. In 19996, the ruling party led by Jerry John Rawlings won by 57.4% while John Agyekum Kufuor won by 52.45 percent.
However the relatively low margin obtained by the NDC's John Mahama could partially be as a result of the fiercely contested elections four years ago which was won by some 40,000 votes only. The margin was so small that the opposition NPP considered a return to power a very high possibility.
No second round
Although, no one dismissed the possibility of a second round ahead of the elections, there was a general desire by many people to see the elections end in the first run.
The reason was partly because of the thought of queuing up again to vote and the general fatigue associated with campaign activities. Additionally, the tension that characterized the second round of 2008 which nearly brought the country to its knees, appeared to be fresh in the minds of the public.
Some also said the avoidance of a second run meant that the public was assured of an uninterrupted festive season during the yuletide.
So palpable was the desire to avoid the second run that commentators, political analysts and journalists openly admitted on various radio and television programmes their wish that there was no run-off.
The poor performance of the other six contestants also helped in great measure the attainment of a first found victory. Together the other contestants obtained 1.56 percent or 171, 603 votes.

Earlier today, Japanese carrier KDDI has announced its summer smartphone line-up, and those of you who have joined us a bit earlier today should have already learned that the new LG Isai has also been part of the announcement.
However, a "line-up" consists in more than just one phone, and unsurprisingly enough, KDDI has more in store for its customers. As a matter of fact, the carrier's plans to release a HTC J Butterfly sequel have also been officially confirmed, thus the existence of the rumored next J Butterfly has been set in stone. However, unlike with the Isai, it's interesting to note that the Butterfly's specifications have not been made official just yet. Interested in finding out the details? Then as always, join us below and we'll discuss more.
HTC J Butterfly Sequel Officially Confirmed
Indeed, the next smartphone in the J Butterfly series has now been confirmed by KDDI, but as mentioned above, the handset still remains shrouded in a thick layer of mystery. According to htcsoku, HTC's newest policy concerning flagship smartphones might be to make them available for purchase on the same day of their announcement, much like the company did with the HTC One M8.
As such, KDDI has been unable to reveal any details regarding the said device, but being part of the "summer line-up", the HTC J Butterfly sequel should be hitting the shelves within the next several months.
As far as specifications go, the handset has been spotted in AnTuTu not too long ago, and the device appears to be packing a Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz, an Adreno 330 GPU, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, a 1080 x 1920 display, and a 5 MP / 13 MP (no UltraPixel) camera setup. The gadget is expected to hit the shelves with Android 4.4.2 out of the box, and most likely with Sense 6 UI on top. Last but not least, the HTC J Butterfly sequel will support WiMAX 2 and LTE-Advanced.
This wraps it up for today's announcement, but we'll continue to keep an eye out on HTC and KDDI so stay tuned for more.

It would be hard to overstate exactly how much I like the shoes from Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2012. Although they may not be avant garde, over-the-top or particularly innovate, they are a collection of shoes that I could see being worn proudly and often by a lot of different women. Most of the heels are thick and of a reasonable height, and there's every material represented from lace to wicker (which I really hope is cleverly disguised leather) to brocade.
There's also a lot of nude in this collection, which is a perennial retail favorite, but my eye lingers on the slightly weirder shoes. (As always.) The transparent plastic bootie with black trim caught my attention in particular, and it's a shoe that I'd very much like to see in person. I know we're all against plastic shoes here, but if this one performs as well in reality as it does on the runway, it could be a very cool option to pair with a cocktail dress instead of a standard black bootie or pump.

Light-years in length, this cosmic tornado is actually a powerful jet cataloged as HH (Herbig-Haro) 49/50. Though such energetic outflows are well known to be associated with the formation of young stars, the exact cause of the spiraling structures apparent in this case is still mysterious. The embryonic star responsible for the 62 mile per second jet is located just off the top of the picture, while the bright star seen near the tip of the jet may just by chance lie along the line of sight. HH49/50 is about 450 light-years distant, located in the Chamaeleon I molecular cloud. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/J. Bally (Univ. of Colorado) et al.

Workforce development has long been a bastion of the community college environment. But with student-loan debt topping $1 trillion and enrollments falling, many four-year colleges and universities are devoting more attention to the area, in part as a way to boost their own relevance within a challenging global economy.
Industry-drivenA Toyota workforce study revealed: Within 10 years, at least 200 employees in their Indiana manufacturing plant would retire.Action: Partner with university to launch the Toyota Advanced Manufacturing Technician Program
With funding cuts, falling enrollments and increased competition from MOOCs and other low-cost online programs, higher education has been under enormous pressure in recent years. But pressure often leads to positive change, and many schools are looking at continuing education as an ideal area for that change.
A Midwestern state university budgeted about $12 million for a major addition to its library several years ago. At the time, there was not a tightly controlled project planning process at the institution and the library's plaza—already a major central gathering space on campus—was not included in the project budget.
In some cases, colleges and universities will opt to fund some site development items, such as landscaping, as an operational cost instead of a capital cost.
But the decision depends on owner needs and should still be made in advance, during the budgeting process for the entire project. Here's how two institutions have approached the decision:
"Engage with the career center" sounds a bit like "eat your vegetables" to a college student. Students know they should access career planning resources, but other options from the campus activities buffet beckon.
In surveys, graduating students from Loyola University Maryland's Sellinger School of Business and Management raved about the faculty and facility, but not the career center, says Dean Karyl Leggio.
What makes a college or university more likely to attract million-dollar gifts? It may not be surprising to learn that longer presidential tenure, the age of an institution, strong alumni networks, and national college rankings help schools win big donations.
Despite what many working for higher education institutions may believe, the campus is a common setting for fraud. In fact, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners' latest "Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse" identified education as one of the top five industries for reported cases of occupational fraud.
The accompanying graphic shows what kinds of losses campuses are experiencing and who is committing—or is likely to commit—these crimes.
Spencer Parker had a plan: Take his high school volleyball stardom to college, spend a couple of years at a smaller school to develop his academic and athletic skills, then move on to a larger setting. Become a volleyball star on a bigger stage. But the nagging desire to play college football, the lingering effect of a successful season as high school quarterback, was relentless.
What do a private liberal arts college, a public community college and a high-ranking national university all have in common? Each recently reported six-figure occupational fraud losses.
In fall 2012, Sage launched the Achieve Degree program, an online degree designed for students on the autism spectrum or with other special needs, who generally work from home or their local library.
In today's competitive higher education market, colleges and universities must prove the value of the degrees they bestow to graduates each year. Traditional measures, such as graduation rates, grade point averages, and cohort default rates, have become only a few of the ways colleges and universities are evaluated. Students and their parents want to be assured that their investment in a college education will pay off in the form of a self-sustaining and financially-secure career path.
In a climate of declining state funding, Oregon higher ed policy leaders needed to bring in more resources while taking some of the burden off students. That's why three of the state's universities are breaking off from the Oregon University System. Effective July 1, Oregon State University, Portland State University and the University of Oregon will have their own boards.
Does autism run in families? Can children with autism grow up to live independently? These questions were part of a survey that tested University of California, Riverside faculty and students' knowledge of autism spectrum disorder to help guide the support of these students through their college years. More than 1,000 people were quizzed on the prevalence, causes and signs of ASD in the largest known higher ed autism awareness survey.
With so many students depending on community college as their best—and sometimes only—option for higher education, it's time for community colleges to get their fair share of education funds. While these schools enroll 53 percent of all undergraduate students at public institutions, they receive only about 25 percent of the federal funding available.

Making coffee better
With the help of Cargill Process Optimizers, instant coffee is even more efficient
A coffee plant in Western Europe combines a reputation for excellent taste with ethical production. Their beans are sourced through certified sustainable™ farms. They reduced energy use and the carbon footprint in their production facility by over 25 percent over the previous three years. And, they developed innovative packaging to further reduce the environmental impact.
Rather than resting on their laurels, though, the plant's continuous improvement culture drove them to look for further improvements.
Enter Cargill Process Optimizers (CPO), a group dedicated to helping plant operators reduce energy use through process improvements.
Making instant coffee more efficient
The plant processes coffee from raw beans to granules. They looked to meet plant sustainability and environmental goals, engaging CPO to develop recommendations for efficiency in the roasting, evaporation, solids handling and drying. The analysis included the utilities areas and accounted for water use and capacity as well as raw material and energy use throughout the line.
Setting goals only to surpass them
By working with CPO, the plant exceeded 15 percent in energy savings, surpassing their original goal of 5 percent to 15 percent. Not only did they save money … they decreased their environmental impact by reducing their water, fuel and electricity use.
The obvious and the not-so-obvious
The CPO team worked closely with the plant's technical and operations experts to build a holistic model of the process. By simulating the entire coffee process, the team reviewed the impact of a wide range of potential modifications on the raw material and utility use of the plant's performance. The joint team then winnowed the dozens of ideas down to develop seven "new and unique" recommendations.
The CPO team's expertise lies in its ability to understand an entire process and materials encountered in the Food and Beverage industries. Modeling tools and the team's experience across a broad array of processes have allowed CPO to be successful at over 200 different facilities around the world.
Same great product, same great taste
While the goal may have been energy savings, process improvements maintained the same great product with the same great quality and taste.
"Our goal is to bring and teach operating cost savings to our customers while maintaining product quality and food safety," says David Ward, general manager for CPO.
Developing relationships
CPO develops long-lasting relationships with plant operations. In fact, the relationship and results of process improvements at the plant were so positive that CPO was invited to participate in their supplier challenge to further improve the product's overall footprint. The relationship has continued to bear fruit by delivering energy and operating costs savings at two additional plants in Western Europe.
Cargill Process Optimizers
CPO finds energy solutions using daily and project tracking as well as identifying savings through site assessments and modeling of current or new plant processes. Learn how CPO can help plant operations with increased yield, enhanced capacity, decreased energy use and optimized performance.

PICS: What Happened To Steve Francis?
Photos of former NBA star Steve Francis have surfaced online from an event he attended in Luizhou (China) and he's barely recognizable.
Over the past few years, photos of Steve would pop up periodically with him looking progressively worse from pic to pic. But, these recent photos break my heart. He used to be my NBA crush.
Even the Chinese website www.Letian.net threw shade at the 37-year-old former baller with the headline: "Horrible! 37-year-old Francis wrinkled old state filling."
I know there were rumors circulating that Steve has had problems with substance abuse, but I'm starting to wonder if he has an undisclosed health issue that has dramatically altered his appearance. Maybe renal failure. (Yup, I'm in denial.)
See more photos of Steve Francis below. (brace yourself)
If you have one to spare…say a prayer for Steve Francis because something is going on!

College Hockey:Gibson Backstops Huskies Past Warriors
BOSTON — Given the postgame assessment of his team's contest with host Northeastern, Merrimack coach Chris Serino might not want to know how close his squad came to facing a goalie other than NU senior Keni Gibson at Matthews Arena Monday night.
Gibson was scheduled to rest during the game, originally slated for Saturday but pushed to Monday because of Boston's generous snowfall.
So, as the teams took the ice in front of a sparse crowd of 1,124, there was No. 31 — stingy as ever.
He was other places, too, en route to Northeastern's 4-3 victory. Namely, in front of 33 Merrimack shots.
"One time we had him down, out of the net and all that was left in the net was his glove," Serino said. "And we hit it. That was the only thing in the net, his glove, and we hit it.
"You gotta give Gibson credit because he took away five or six (goals)," Serino added. "He didn't give us any easy ones and he took away five or six. (Jim Healey) took away some, but we still gave up a couple soft ones. That's the difference in the game. If a guy is taking them away like that, and not giving you any … we had to work our butts off to get three goals. We had a night tonight where, if he wasn't on his A game, we get five or six. You gotta give him credit for that."
The Huskies (9-12-3, 5-7-2) opened a 3-1 lead after one period, which they furthered to 4-1 in the second before a late comeback by the Warriors (8-18-2, 1-14-1).
Freshman winger Josh Robertson put NU up 1-0 four minutes into the game, when he picked up a loose puck in the MC zone and stuffed it between Healey's legs.
With 12:35 left in the first period, Merrimack's Brent Gough finished a shorthanded two-on-one to knot the score.
It stayed tied for exactly seven seconds.
Northeastern junior Brian Swiniarski collected the puck off the ensuing faceoff, headed towards the goal and buried it past Healey (30 saves).
Three minutes before the end of the opening period, Husky junior Mike Morris deked a defender inside out — turning a two-on-two into a two-on-one — before feeding senior captain Jason Guerriero for a tap-in score.
Halfway through the second period, Morris curled with the puck in the offensive zone, feigned a pass to the left post and snapped his 11th goal of the year to Healey's left to make it 4-1.
Despite hitting a post in the last minute of the first period and having most of the puck over the line at one point in the second (only to have Gibson snag it with his glove) Merrimack didn't score its second goal until 19 seconds into the third.
During a Warrior power play, freshman center Jordan Fox dropped the puck behind his back for junior right wing Matt Johnson, who had little trouble connecting with the net despite Gibson diving across the crease in front of him.
Ten minutes later, after Morris couldn't control a puck he gloved in the neutral zone, Johnson held the puck in the offensive zone, one-on-four, and waited for help to arrive — meaning until he could find junior defenseman Scott Drewicki to pull the Warriors within one, at 4-3.
With the goalie pulled in the final minute, MC applied pressure until Gough was whistled for hooking with 25.5 seconds left. Three consecutive offside calls later, the comeback bid had been bid adieu.
"With the situation we're in — we've lost a few games in a row now, we're ninth place in Hockey East — I just told them, 'You know what, you have every reason to quit right now. But, we can win the game,'" Serino said of his team, which has lost six straight.
"The way we were playing, I felt we could win. But we had to bear down a little bit on the puck, we were skating by too many pucks. A team like ours, when struggling like we're doing right now, you're trying to score three goals before you score one.
"I told them at the end of the second period, 'I don't care if we win or lose the game," he added. "What's more important to me now is how we play. And if we play the right way with the right intensity, good things will happen to us.' I think they did."
Northeastern evened itself with Massachusetts-Lowell for fifth place in Hockey East with the victory, a much-needed recovery from a disappointing 4-2 loss to Boston College Friday night.
"I thought we were all over them, we just got a little laid back there as the game went on," Gibson said. "We bent a little bit, but we didn't break. We just made sure to squeak out a win, a little closer than you'd like it to be, but it's a big win for us. Those two points are huge right now.
"It's huge to just get a win right under your belt, start getting the winning attitude again. Instead of a losing streak, you're back onto a winning one — even though it's one. It gets (the BC loss) out of your mind. BC's over with now; we beat a team we needed to beat."
Husky coach Bruce Crowder agreed with Serino and Gibson.
"I thought, for the most part, Keni Gibson was the difference in the first two periods," he said. "They outshot us in the game, and I don't think he was as sharp in the third, but we need that out of him.
"It's very important, after you lose, to try to bounce back with a win — especially in league play," he said. "For the most part, I was very disappointed with our effort (against BC). Obviously part of it was BC — they really took it to us, but they outattempted us something like 30-2 in the second period. We were just trying to get our guys to work hard every shift tonight and hopefully go for 60 minutes. I'm not quite sure we did it for 60 minutes but we did it for long enough to get the W."
Northeastern will play at Maine Friday and Saturday night, while Merrimack's next contest is Thursday at Boston University.
