(Wattsburg) -- Dean Curtis didn't need to see the results of the U.S. Census of Agriculture to know what's happened to the region's dairy industry.
There are plenty of others -- and Curtis was one of them -- with gross sales of more than $100,000 a year. In Erie County, 182 farmers met that threshold in 2017, while 170 topped that sales mark in Crawford County.
"Good milk cows that had been worth $2,000 -- you were lucky to get $400 or $500 -- no one wanted them," he said.

When leather comes into the factory, it is fairly thick so they usually cut it down into 3 layers. The top layer is called a top grain, the second layer is called a split hide, and the third is usually scrapped.
The top grain is the best cut of leather. It is the toughest and most durable. Within the top grains is usually a grading system. The highest grade leathers come in the most pure with the fewest imperfections which means they did not have to be touched up. Therefore they feel the nicest or they have the best hand. This is not to say that you will not find any markings. High grade leather will still have markings like stretch marks small bug bites or barbed wire fence scratches because this is considered the beauty of leather. Some markings are just too big to deal with and may compromise the leather so in this case the leather will need to be fixed. The more imperfections the leather has, the more correcting it will need. The more correcting required, the lower the grade. To correct the leather, the imperfections are shaved out, smoothed, stamped with a gaining pattern, and then a protective coating is applied. The lower grades of the top grain leathers could be corrected up to as much as 80%. When you get into the lower grades the leather will begin to feel more like plastic because of all the correcting they have had to do.
Split hides are the second layer of leather. So in the beginning they will have no graining and appear to be suede. As in the lower grades of the top grain the leather will have to be ironed flat and stamped with a grain. After stamping a protective coating is also applied. These will be easy to pick out because the graining will be very uniform.
In addition to top grain and split hides there are leathers that will sometimes be called Newbuck leather or Bycast leather. Newbuck leather is simply a top grain leather that has been brushed or abraded with a steel brush to pull up a nap or a soft fuzzy texture. Bycast can be a top grain or split hide but in either case it is ironed very smooth to remove most of the natural graining and a large amount of protective coating is then applied. This leather is usually used on more contemporary frames. Newbuck leathers will be very difficult to clean. Bycast leathers will be very easily cleaned.
There is one more thing to know about leathers. Some leathers will be called waxed leathers. This is just a wax finish that is applied to the top or the leather to give it a more rustic or weathered look. This finish is easy to test for. Just scratch the surface of the leather with your nail and the leather will change to a lighter color. These marking will go away by rubbing the leather with your hands the natural oils in your hand will rub the scratch out again. If the scratch does not come out, don't worry, a little waxed leather conditioner will restore the leather to the original color.
Now comes the difficult part. What leather is right for me? If your household has children, I recommend leather with a little protection. Anything that is not a Newbuck or the highest of the top grains will absorb stains and be difficult to remove. If your household can handle something a little nicer will be great. They feel so nice and the extra money will be worth it in the long run.


What is it About You That I Don't Like About Me?
This isn't my quote. I wish it were. We can thank Dr. Phil for this one (yes, I said Dr. Phil, judge all you want). My free time in college was spent watching Oprah, Dr. Phil, and Dr. Oz. They were my trifecta of personal enlightenment.
It's what I ask myself when I start to over analyze or criticize someone else's behavior.
Sound familiar? What I've learned about these thoughts is that they're a product of insecurity or (even worse) a sense of superiority. I ask myself Dr. Phil's question because I know that what I find annoying in others, is usually a behavior that I find offensive in myself.
It's not pretty, but it's true.
When we're feeling insecure about ourselves or superior to someone else, it's easier to find flaws in others.
Does this mean the other person doesn't have flaws?
Nope. (last time I checked, everyone I know is a human).
Does this mean I have tons of flaws?
Not necessarily. (We all have some though because we're human).
Am I not extending the benefit of the doubt because I need or want to feel better about myself?
If you find yourself struggling with someone else's actions, try these questions out and let me know what think.
I didn't ask Dr. Phil for his permission to use this quote. However, I'd like to think that he'd approve.

This is so true… thanks for sharing this! Through spiritual direction training, I learned that what you are describing is a part of a human's shadow side. Simply put, the shadow side is the disowned parts of one's self. The things we feel and think and do that we wish we didn't. When someone else acts out in these ways, it's like us holding up a mirror to ourselves. The path to wholeness, therefore, is not disowning, but owning and embracing these parts of ourselves, and in these places giving ourselves the same grace we extend to others.
Thanks, Daniel! Appreciate you reading and sharing your perspective.
Love this! Such great wisdom.
Thank you, Monique! Appreciate you reading along.

Nine Years After Murder, Brother of Slain Activist Gives Up on Court
Heng Reaksmey
A scene from the documentary "Who Killed Chea Vichea?" Chea Vichea, a popular Cambodian union leader, was assassinated on January 22, 2004, in Phnom Penh.
PHNOM PENH - Mourners gathered in Phnom Penh on Tuesday to mark the ninth anniversary of the murder of popular labor activist Chea Vichea.
Chea Mony, brother of the slain activist, told the crowd he would be withdrawing his complaint to the court, which he said he now believes incapable of trying the true killers of his brother.
Two men widely seen as innocent, Born Samnang and Sok Sam Ouen, are serving 20 year sentences for the murder, in what many rights groups have called a grave injustice.
"I would like to pray to Chea Vichea's soul, and say I have decided to withdraw the complaint in this case, because I do not believe in the court," Chea Mony told the mourners.
Aside from Born Samnang and Sok Samoeun, the courts have also jailed a number of government critics, including Mam Sonando, owner of Beehive Radio, and Yorm Bopha, a land activist.
"The court in Cambodia is disreputable, because a lot of people have received injustice," Chea Mony said Tuesday.
Chea Vichea was killed on Jan. 22, 2004, outside Wat Langka pagoda in Phnom Penh. His actual killers are believed to be still at large.
Am Sam Ath, investigator for the rights group Licadho, said Chea Vichea's family has yet to receive justice for the murder, and he urged Cambodian authorities to find the true killers, as a step toward ending impunity in the country.
"The case of Chea Vichea is very complicated, so I urge the authorities and the court to reopen the investigation, and question some of the police officers, such as Heng Pov, to ask who killed Chea Vichea."
Heng Pov is a notorious former police chief for Phnom Penh, who is serving life in prison on a raft of crimes, including ties to assassinations.

On Friday, February 18 criminal defense attorney Stephen Sitkoff from the criminal defense law firm of Takakjian & Sitkoff was on ABC News' show "Good Morning America" to discuss the development of Lindsay Lohan's grand theft case, for which she is facing a possible three year prison sentence if convicted.
According to ABC News, the infamous actress was charged recently with a felony that stems from the disappearance of a $2,500 necklace from a boutique in Venice, CA in January. On Tuesday, February 2 the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) began an investigation of the actress in connection with the possible theft of the necklace.
In relation to what Lohan needs to do regarding to the case and her public image, Sitkoff states, "Lindsay needs to do the things she needs to do in order to show the court that she's living differently." According to the video, Lohan is attending AA meetings and is taking her charges seriously.
Can Lindsay Lohan Avoid a Felony Grand Theft Conviction?
She has been accused of stealing several times in the past. She has been accused and convicted of DUI. But the big question now is whether Lindsay Lohan will be able to avoid conviction and possible prison time in her felony grand theft case. People.com interviewed a number of well-known Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers. Our own Steve Sitkoff was also interviewed by People.
Sitkoff highlighted the important fact that this will by no means be a slam-dunk case for the prosecution. Prosecutors are alleging that the 24-year-old actress stole a $2,500 necklace from a store. According to Steve Sitkoff, all that a criminal defense lawyer needs to do in this felony grand theft case is convince one juror that this was an "innocent misunderstanding." If her lawyer succeeds in placing that element of doubt in one juror's mind, Lindsay Lohan can walk out of this unscathed, unless the prosecutor decides to retry the case.
It is unlikely that Lohan will be sentenced to state prison because she is not a physical threat to anyone. It is also possible that Lohan will reach a plea deal and avoid a trial altogether. If she takes that route, she could get up to six months in county jail for the theft and probation violation. As Sitkoff states, in this particular case, the prosecution could find a way to ensure that Lohan does substantial time and prohibit her from early release. Other possibilities include felony probation with no jail time. The charge could also be reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor.
California has increased the minimum threshold for grand theft on personal property to $950. On August 24, the California Senate passed Assembly Member Tom Ammiano's bill to increase the threshold. Previously, anyone convicted of stealing $400 worth of goods or more could be charged with grand theft. Now the value of the items stolen must exceed $950 for the crime to be charged as grand theft. This is a significant change to the law for anyone charged with theft in California as the penalties for grand theft are substantially harsher then those for petty theft or shoplifting.
There are exceptions to this new $950 threshold. For example, when farm crops or aquacultural products are stolen, the minimum threshold for grand theft is only $250. Also, stealing guns or motor vehicles will result in grand theft charges, regardless of the value of the items.
Under the new bill, theft of items valued under $950 may result in a misdemeanor charge, up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Theft of goods valued over $950 may result in a misdemeanor or felony charge and up to three years in state prison. Grand theft of a firearm may result in 16 months to three years in state prison and grand theft auto may lead to one year in state prison and a $5,000 fine.

Video link Public Inquiry option for quarantined attendees, says OTC
Traffic Commissioners (TCs) will consider the use of a video link for Public Inquiry (PI) attendees who have recently arrived in the UK from a country that is not subject to an exemption from the 14-day quarantine rule, the Office of the Traffic Commissioner (OTC) has said.
It comes as the OTC revealed that there have been "several worrying incidents" since in-person PIs were reintroduced. In those cases, attendees have arrived at the hearing "almost immediately" after flying back to the UK.
"This puts everyone's health at risk and undermines the strict rules government has put in place," says OTC in a statement.
"If you are due to attend a hearing within 14 days of returning to the UK, it is vital that you check whether your travel destination is exempt from the quarantine rules. The safety of our attendees, staff and TCs remains the main consideration when holding in-person hearings. Our staff have completed thorough risk assessments and have put measures in place to protect the health of all concerned."
Any Public Inquiry attendee who cannot be present at a hearing in-person should let OTC staff know as soon as possible in order that the video link options can be considered.
TCs recommenced in-person tribunal hearings, including PIs, on 6 July in England, on 4 August in Scotland and on 6 August in Wales.

Why are rosehips so good for your skin?
< Back to blogs
Sep 10 2020Anne
What are rosehips?
Rosehips usually get outshone by the more popular and appealing flowers that they grow under, with most being unaware about the real benefits of this small, easily overlooked fruit. However, rosehips are bursting with essential fatty acids, anti-oxidants and minerals, making them very versatile and often involved in the treatment of a variety of ailments, from rheumatoid arthritis to ageing skin.
#1 – Chockfull of vitamin C: Rosehips grow to be roughly the same size as a crab-apple and are sometimes harvested for decorative purposes, normally ripening in hues of red, orange or purple. Surprisingly though, these relatively small fruits contain around 60% more vitamin C than the average orange, making them extremely potent and useful for certain health complaints.
Vitamin C is incredibly valuable when it comes to the formation of collagen and the absorption of iron. Collagen is an essential protein that is found all over the body, but mainly in the skin and bones, where it plays an important role in maintaining structure and strength.
As you grow older, your production of collage will gradually start to decline, although other lifestyle factors like smoking or sunlight can also impact the formation of this protein. This is why rosehip is often celebrated for fighting signs of aging and keeping skin looking supple and firm.
#2 – Jam packed with EFA's! EFAs, or essential fatty acids, are composed of two distinct variants – omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. Humans need a good intake of both to support their overall health and wellbeing as EFA's serve an important function when it comes to your body. They are necessary for hormone production, the nervous system and keeping skin hydrated and healthy, even reducing some of the symptoms of skin conditions like eczema.
Certain omega-6 fatty acids cannot be synthesised naturally by your body so they must be absorbed from your diet. Rosehips contain a number of crucial omega-6 fatty acids, including polyunsaturated fatty acids which have been linked to tissue regeneration and the support of your cellular membranes.
#3 – Goodbye free radicals: Free radicals are unstable molecules that can affect the function of your healthy cells and cause tissue damage – this is known as oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can have a disastrous impact on your immune system, making you more susceptible to viral infections and diseases, with free radicals even being associated with heart disease and Alzheimer's.
Free radicals can be produced naturally in your body or occur as a result of smoking or contact with pollution. Fortunately, your body has a way of fighting back against these corrupted cells – anti-oxidants!
Anti-oxidants are usually found in vitamins and minerals, and can work to repair the damage done by oxidative stress. Rosehips are abundant in anti-oxidants, being a great source of vitamins like vitamin A and C, as well as minerals like magnesium, zinc and sulphur. Rosehip syrup was readily available during the Second World War, when it was recommended for children to ward off colds and flus.
#4 – Rich in anti-inflammatory agents: Rosehip has often been linked to inflammatory conditions like arthritis, and is believed to have a positive effect on joint pain. According to Arthritis Research UK, this is partly to do with the levels of polyphenols and anthocyanins found in the fruit, which can reduce inflammation, easing the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
This also makes rosehip very beneficial for the skin as well, as some skin conditions are caused by an inflammatory reaction from the immune system, which rosehip may be able to minimalise or reduce, decreasing the severity of certain symptoms.
#5 – Extremely versatile: Rosehip is growing in popularity and part of this surge is owed to how versatile the fruit is. Those looking to increase their intake of vitamin C or give their immune system a helping hand, often pick the fruit and find ways of incorporating it into recipes, either as a soup, a tea or sometimes even a jam.
However, this can come with its risk, the first being that rosehip can lose its vitamin C content when it is boiled. The dark, furry seed of the fruit should also be disposed of as it is inedible and can cause adverse side-effects.
This is why oils and capsules are more commonplace as many are unwilling to try picking the fruit. Rosehip supplements and oils are usually available from most healthfood stores, and are well regarded as the oil absorb quickly through the skin and works efficiently in a short amount of time.

Moore: Eight-game Sixers restart is all about Joel Embiid
Tom Moore
tmoore@couriertimes.com
Brett Brown's intent was to bring Joel Embiid along slowly in the 76ers' three scrimmages and keep increasing Embiid's minutes in the eight remaining regular-season games heading into the playoffs.
Brown hoped that Embiid would be able to reach 38 minutes a night, which the coach considers Embiid's ideal amount, by the Aug. 17 start of the postseason.
Brown has to come up with another plan due to Embiid's sore right calf, which kept him out of the Sixers' final two scrimmages for "precautionary" reasons after playing just under 13 minutes in the first one. That's when he started feeling the calf discomfort.
"It would have been great to have Joel playing, but health is our No. 1 goal — to get him right and to get him ready for when we open up," Tobias Harris said after Tuesday's final scrimmage. "That's on the horizon."
Asked Tuesday if Embiid would play Saturday night against the Pacers, Brown replied, "That is my expectation."
On a Zoom call prior to Thursday afternoon's practice in Orlando, Brown said there was no update on Embiid.
"I'm going to sit down with the medical people and just assess what we're able to do at practice," Brown said. "It's my understanding we're going to be able to do some things with Jo today."
Assuming Embiid plays Saturday, Brown's most important task isn't moving up from sixth in the Eastern Conference standings — the Sixers are tied for fifth with Indiana, but the Pacers hold the head-to-head tiebreaker — it's getting Embiid as playoff ready as possible.
Because even if Ben Simmons takes and makes jumpers, and flourishes as a point forward, the Sixers aren't making a deep playoff run without Embiid playing a gigantic role.
It may mean a bit of a juggling act for Brown because the coach cannot play Embiid too many minutes before he's ready because it would increase the chances of Embiid getting hurt. Brown is well aware what a potentially crippling setback that would be.
"There's going to be zero that I think or do that puts whatever number I've spoken about as it relates to minutes in the playoffs at any level of risk for Joel," Brown said. "We hope to be here for a long time.
"Incrementally, I hope to move him toward a direction that you could understand as it relates to the minutes, but it will not be anything that's reckless or done without direction from the people that we pay to give that type of advice."
It'll be interesting to see how close Brown can get Embiid to 38 minutes by the Aug. 17 start of the postseason. While backup center Al Horford has a great deal of playoff experience, he doesn't have near the impact Embiid does at both ends of the floor.
When healthy and fully engaged, Embiid is the best all-around center in the NBA. He can score inside, where his footwork and array of offensive moves are the closest thing to Hakeem Olajuwon that the league has seen. On defense, he controls the lane and prevents opponents from driving for easy baskets.
Replacing somebody like that is virtually impossible.
A combination of injury and illness prevented Embiid from being 100% in his first two postseasons, which resulted in a 4-1 Eastern Conference semifinals loss to the Celtics two years ago and contributed to a hard-to-swallow Game 7 defeat to Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors in the second round last year.
If Embiid cannot put his customary imprint on games, the Sixers might not be able to get past the Celtics or Heat in the best-of-seven opening round.
If he is back to playing the way he normally does, the chances of a lengthy postseason increase significantly.
There are no guarantees either way, but having Embiid makes the Sixers much more of a threat.

Meat glue is a substance used in cooking to bond proteins together.
It includes substances such as transglutaminase and fibrinogen/thrombin (Fibrimex)(yicotorimnorum).
Examples of foods made using meat glue include imitation crab meat, fish balls, and Chicken Nuggets..
You inhale it, your lungs stick together, you die." So Chef Ian Kleinman told me about Transglutaminase during my private cooking class with him last spring. Transglutaminase (also known as TG or 'meat glue') is an enzyme that bonds proteins together.
How is Meat Glue Made? Most TG is made from the cultivation of bacteria using the blood plasma (clotting factors) from cows and pigs. Some TG is made from cultivating bacteria using vegetable and plant extracts. Most TGs are mixed with other ingredients including gelatin and caseinate (milk derivative.)
' In response to a direct question of whether it uses 'pink-slime' in its burgers, McDonald's USA says: 'Lean finely textured beef treated with ammonia, what some individuals call "pink slime" or select lean beef trimmings, is not used in our burgers. Any recent reports that it is are false.
It's no surprise that many restaurants did not respond, but a few are distancing themselves from the product, including: Sizzler, Outback Steakhouse, Applebee's, Chili's and BJ's restaurants. All say they don't use any form of meat glue.
Wednesday, Cargill and Tyson assured customers that they don't use it in any of their meat products. … For starters, they don't call it meat glue. Instead, industry groups call the powdered or liquid enzyme fibrin, transglutaminase or TG.
' Transglutaminase or thrombian binds pieces of meat to 'fake a steak' … Then 'meat glue' is for you. Transglutaminase, or thrombian, an enzyme use to bind protein, is used in the food industry in order to seamlessly attach smaller pieces of meat together create the illusion of a prime piece.
Outback Steakhouse and LongHorn Steakhouse are both popular steakhouse chain restaurants. … The quality of the food at LongHorn was better, and I was especially impressed by the house margarita and the signature appetizer. However, the fantastic service at Outback set a sky-high bar that LongHorn fell far short of.
1. Outback Steakhouse. Aside from the bloomin' onion, Outback Steakhouse's free bread is one of the best reasons to visit this chain for dinner. The dark-colored bread is rumored to be pumpernickel, which is always served warm and soft on the inside and firm on the outside, with a side of whipped butter.
Greg says that eateries and restaurants can easily pass off formed meats as "formed steaks". So that "filet mignon" or "rib eye" you've ordered, may really be pieced together from inexpensive scraps and cuts. … Greg shows how easy it is to do by making a fake ribeye steak using meat glue.
Looks Can Be Deceiving: How to Avoid Food Dyes Once meat is exposed to air, it gradually turns from red to a not-so-festive brown or grey color. … While grocery stores put new meat out each day, some packages sit on the shelves for many days. To keep the meat looking appetizing, they treat it with Carbon Monoxide.
On Thursday, May 20, the European Parliament voted to ban bovine and porcine thrombin used as an additive to bind separate pieces of meat together into one piece.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists transglutaminase as "generally recognized as safe." It's OK to eat cooked meat that's been glued. … The center of a single cut of steak is sterile, that's why you can eat it rare. But glued pieces of meat could contain bacteria like E. coli on the inside.
The so-called "meat glue enzyme" transglutaminase is used by the meat industry to add value to meat by gluing together smaller scraps into a larger chunk. … There is a "risk that otherwise discarded leftovers of questionable microbial quality could find their way into the reconstituted meat."
The transglutaminase contains no animal products which is how Transglutaminase TI is a vegan product. But some of the types such as RM, GS, and YG contain other bonding agents such as gelatin and sodium caseinate. These added bonding agents are what cause the meat glue to not be vegan friendly.
Outback Steakhouse specializes in steak, of course, but the chain is also well-known for its selection of seafood, soup, salad, and chicken dishes. Some of the popular steak options at Outback Steakhouse are the Outback Sirloin, the Victoria's Filet Mignon, the New York Strip, and the Prime Rib.
1. Meat and Poultry. While Costco does sell good quality meat and poultry, their prices tend to be much higher than local grocery stores. … While you have to cube the meat yourself (Costco's is pre-cut), that extra 10 minutes will save you money.

CoreLogic® (NYSE: CLGX), a leading global property information, analytics and data-enabled services provider, today released its February 2016 National Foreclosure Report which shows the foreclosure inventory declined by 23.9 percent and completed foreclosures declined by 10 percent compared with February 2015. The number of completed foreclosures nationwide decreased year over year from 38,000 in February 2015 to 34,000 in February 2016. The number of completed foreclosures in February 2016 was down 71.3 percent from the peak of 117,776 in September 2010.
The foreclosure inventory represents the number of homes at some stage of the foreclosure process and completed foreclosures reflect the total number of homes lost to foreclosure. Since the financial crisis began in September 2008, there have been approximately 6.2 million completed foreclosures across the country, and since homeownership rates peaked in the second quarter of 2004, there have been approximately 8.2 million homes lost to foreclosure.
As of February 2016, the national foreclosure inventory included approximately 434,000, or 1.1 percent, of all homes with a mortgage compared with 571,000 homes, or 1.5 percent, in February 2015. The February 2016 foreclosure inventory rate is the lowest for any month since November 2007.
CoreLogic also reports that the number of mortgages in serious delinquency (defined as 90 days or more past due including loans in foreclosure or REO) declined by 19.9 percent from February 2015 to February 2016, with 1.3 million mortgages, or 3.2 percent, in this category. The February 2016 serious delinquency rate is the lowest in eight years, since November 2007.
On a month-over-month basis, completed foreclosures decreased by 13.9 percent to 34,000 in February 2016 from the 39,000 reported for January 2016.* As a basis of comparison, before the decline in the housing market in 2007, completed foreclosures averaged 21,000 per month nationwide between 2000 and 2006.
On a month-over-month basis, the foreclosure inventory was down 2.6 percent in February 2016 compared to January 2016.
The five states with the highest number of completed foreclosures for the 12 months ending in February 2016 were Florida (72,000), Michigan (49,000), Texas (29,000), California (25,000) and Ohio (23,000). These five states accounted for almost half of all completed foreclosures nationally.
Four states and the District of Columbia had the lowest number of completed foreclosures for the 12 months ending in February 2016: The District of Columbia (113), North Dakota (312), Wyoming (574), West Virginia (627) and Alaska (682).
Four states and the District of Columbia had the highest foreclosure inventory rates in February 2016: New Jersey (4.0 percent), New York (3.4 percent), Hawaii (2.3 percent), Florida (2.2 percent) and the District of Columbia (2.2 percent).
The five states with the lowest foreclosure inventory rate in February 2016 were Alaska (0.3 percent), Minnesota (0.4 percent), Arizona (0.4 percent), Colorado (0.4 percent) and Utah (0.4 percent).
*January 2016 data was revised. Revisions are standard, and to ensure accuracy CoreLogic incorporates newly released data to provide updated results.
The data in this report represents foreclosure activity reported through January 2016.


AdRoll, a provider of retargeting, has integrated its solution with Shopify, a cloud-based, multichannel commerce platform, to allow e-commerce merchants to retarget customers across devices, all within the Shopify platform.
By building a deep integration with Shopify, e-commerce businesses can now implement advanced retargeting strategies with just a few clicks. AdRoll will empower thousands of small businesses to address the issue of shopping cart abandonment.
On average, around 70 percent of all e-commerce shopping carts are abandoned, leaving $4 trillion worth of product behind, according to BI Intelligence. The abandonment rate increased five points from 2011 to 2013, as more customers became comfortable with mobile commerce.
"We know that merchants are leaving money on the table by not retargeting their customers. The data shows that of all those who abandon shopping carts, three quarters intend to complete their purchases at a later date," said Adam Berke, AdRoll's president and chief marketing officer, in a statement. "Our goal is to help all 175,000 Shopify merchants seamlessly implement the proven retargeting tactics that the largest retailers use to solve this problem."
Use AdRoll's cross-device attribution services.
"Shopping cart abandonment is still a huge challenge for online retailers, and we're committed to building out our network of partners to address it," said Atlee Clark, head of App Store and the third-party developer ecosystem at Shopify, in a statement. "By working with AdRoll, we're giving our merchants the tools and support they need in order to reclaim lost sales."

The science of sticking with it
WAMU 88.5 | By Anna Casey
A view of the crowd in Times Square during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2023 in New York City.
We live a lot of our lives on autopilot, moving through daily routines, obligations, or habits. According to research by psychologist Wendy Wood, about 43 percent of our day is spent doing actions that are unconscious.
But with a new year comes a new opportunity to pause, reset, and make a change.
Once we decide what changes, or resolutions we want to make in the new year, how do we stick with them? By changing our habits for the long term, can we change ourselves?

I was recently asked by AnAn to write a detailed post about Mr. Hussain Haqqani (henceforth HH) and his three books that I've read. I find it difficult to write about someone who is still active in his field of work and someone who arouses so much anger and partisanship among the commentariat in Pakistan. I decided to write about things that I know definitively, publicly available information about him and testimonies from two reliable witnesses about HH and then briefly discuss the three books (Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military, Magnificient Delusions and India vs Pakistan: Why Can't we just be friends) that I've read (I just started reading his fourth one, 'Reimagining Pakistan'). It is hard to label HH as a turncoat or opportunist because most major politicians in Pakistan changed course in their political life starting with Zulfiqar Bhutto, followed by Mian Nawaz Sharif, Benazir Bhutto(BB) and Imran Khan. People and their ideas evolve or else, they are ossified and become part of history while they are alive (Exhibit A: Most of the left-wing politicians of Pakistan).
HH comes from a Muhajir family based in Karachi and went to Karachi University where he was an active member of Islami-Jamiat-Tulaba (IJT), the student-wing of right-wing, religio-political party, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI). He claimed in Magnificient Delusions that he stopped students from burning down the American Consulate in Karachi in 1979 when Grand Mosque in Mecca was seized by ultra-Wahabi rebels and the conspiracy theorists put the blame on the US initially (the Embassy in Islamabad was burnt down by a mob of students). His claim has been debunked by several members of IJT at the time. He worked as a journalist for a few years after graduation. In the late 1980s, he was a media-consultant for Nawaz Sharif, the center-right politician from Punjab who rose to prominence as Punjab's finance minister under General Jilani's governorship (1980-85) and later served as the Chief Minister of Punjab (1985-90). Nawaz Sharif was part of an Islamist alliance, Islami Jamhoori Ittihad (IJI) which opposed Benazir Bhutto's Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in the 1988 elections. It is beyond doubt that the character of Benazir Bhutto and Nusrat Bhutto was mercilessly attacked during the election campaign. Helicopters were used to throw fliers over major cities in Punjab with explicit photos of the Bhutto ladies to malign their reputations. According to witness number 1, he saw HH in New York during that campaign where HH was offering nudes of Benazir Bhutto to anyone who was interested to see them. IJI still couldn't win the federal election and ended up winning in Punjab, where Nawaz Sharif assumed the Chief Minister-ship.
Due to Palace intrigues and constant bickering between Punjab and the Federal Government and unrest in Sindh, BB's government was dismissed by Ghulam Ishaq Khan, the President, after twenty months. In the ensuing elections, IJI succeeded in winning the election (there was massive rigging taken place on orders of the Presidency and funds were distributed to various IJI politicians, details of which can be found by googling 'Mehran Bank Scandal'). HH served as Sharif's spokesman till 1992 until he was sent to Sri Lanka as Pakistan's ambassador. In 1993, the Sharif Government was dismissed by President Khan (with prodding and backroom deals by BB and Co). HH flew back from Sri Lanka and became a spokesman for the BB government that followed (1993-1996).
In 1996, the second BB government was dismissed by President Laghari and Nawaz Sharif's party started ruling again. It was toppled during October 1999 and General Musharraf became the 'Chief Executive' of Pakistan. According to witness number 2, he saw HH begging Musharraf (or one of his generals) for the Information Ministry. The request was denied and HH spent a few years running a consultancy. In 2002, he arrived in Washington DC, as a guest of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. In 2004, he joined Boston University as an Associate Professor of International Relations. He also headed a project by Hudson Institute on Islam and Democracy. Post-9/11 was a time in which the issue of Islam and Democracy was selling quite well in the 'West'.
In January 2005, 'Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military' was published. It is a very good book detailing the history of Pakistan and the Mullah-Military Nexus that rules Pakistan today. The book was written with the help of Carnegie Endowment and the audience in mind was definitely American (with emphasis on post 9/11 understanding of Pakistan). It touches on all the relevant bases (quoting Ayesha Jalal, Khalid bin Sayeed, Margret Bourke-White, Stephen Cohen, Lawrence Ziring), the way Islam was used by Muslim League (and in certain instances, Jinnah himself) during the 'Pakistan Movement', the paranoia induced by newspapers and politicians about threats to Pakistan's existence, the trifecta of Pakistan Ideology (Islam, Urdu, hostility towards India), suppression of dissent by ethnic groups using the tools of the Ideology (branding anti-state elements as anti-Islam is favored strategy even today), the way history was shaped from an anti-British perspective to an anti-Hindu perspective (since we got Independence from the British, not the Hindus), the first Kashmir War, the first Martial Law, attempts at a revisionist historiography, the disaster that was the 1965 war with India and so on. The book reveals very little new information (if you have read the liberal-secular version of Pakistan's history) but is a very good collection of various liberal-secular and diplomatic sources and serves as a good primer on Pakistan's political history. I've always maintained that HH's writing is often much better than his politics or his past.
It is often said that Pakistan's political landscape is dominated by 3 A's (Allah, Army, and America). The discussion on US-Pakistan relations in the first book forms the basis of his second book, Magnificent Delusions. Four years ago, I wrote a couple of articles, titled 'Good Ally, Bad Enemy?' reviewing US-Pakistan relations with excerpts from HH's second book alongside the works of Carlotta Gall, Gary Bass and Daniel Markey (1. here 2. here). I'll mention some quotes from HH's book that I used in those articles.
In his third book, HH focussed on certain aspects of the thorny India-Pakistan relationship: History, Kashmir, Nuclear Bombs, and Terrorism. The book is peppered with anecdotes and is a useful read as a primer on the relationship and the difficulties therin. One gets the impression after reading the book that if it were left to the civilians, the two countries would have patched out most conflicts, however, Pakistan's military and India's diplomatic bureacracy took maximalist positions to thwart that ambition time and time again.
Why is HH so controversial in Pakistan now?
He was appointed Pakistan's Ambassador to the US by the PPP-led government (2008-13). It was a turbulent time for Pakistan because barbarians were literally at the gates (Taliban in Swat and Al-Qaeda+TTP in Waziristan). HH has certain views about Pakistan that are not palatable for the military establishment/Deep State. Those views include his insistence on civilian supremacy in the country, deceptive attitudes towards the United States and over-reliance on religion in political discourse. In addition, HH was trying to be a conduit between Pakistan's civilian government and the United States during his time as the Ambassador (as opposed to a majority of Pakistani Ambassadors to the US who are appointed only after a firm nod from the GHQ) and that irked the establishment even further. It was during his tenure that Osama bin Laden was found and killed in Abbotabad (May, 2011). HH, in an op-ed published last year in Washington Post (read here), took credit for helping the Obama administration in that endeavor (which, in light of Trump's recent ascension to power, seemed an opportunistic move). Soon after the raid, a conspiracy theory was hatched by the Military Establishment in Pakistan implicating HH. It was alleged that HH had sent Admiral Mike Mullen a memo (on President Asif Zardari's advice) through a shady in-between named Mansoor Ijaz asking for help from the US in case our generals tried to topple the government in the wake of the OBL raid. The case dragged on in the court and later, a judicial commission but the charge was not proven. HH had to resign as the Ambassador. He has since been at Hudson Institute. In recent years, he has started, with the help of another Pakistani-American, Dr. Mohammad Taqi, SAATH forum (South Asians Against Terrorism and Hatred) that gathers progressive voices in London every October to talk about the future of Pakistan. (Full disclosure: I have been invited to the last two versions of this forum but the first one i couldn't attend because of visa refusal and the second because I was doing an internship in Houston at the time). I personally agree with most of his views regarding Pakistan but I think his name has been tarnished so much by the Deep State that it is hard to advocate for his name/ideas/books in Pakistan. I believe that he is worth-reading and worth-engaging. If only the military establishment could fight ideas with ideas instead of slander and mis-information.
Thank you for this post. HH is a friend to all those wish peaceful and co-dependent integration of the sub-continent, which is currently the region with the least percentage of intra vs inter-regional trade.
1. HH has advocated accepting the LOC as a temporary soft-border in Kashmir, increasing trade and leaving the question of eventual settlement for another generation. However, my sense is that the current GOI will demand a Pakistani acceptance of the finality of such an LOC border (even if it is soft like the Irish border) rather than deferral of final status to the next generation. My point here is that when it comes to implementation, one might find that it is not only GHQ Rawalpindi, but also GOI which will stand in the way of such an open-ended solution, both for different reasons. I actually think such a temporary solution is long-term advantage for Pakistan vis-a-vis India, and HH realizes this better than PakMil.
Much as I like HH's role here, I was under the impression that he did write the memo in question that you refer to as a conspiracy theory. Do you have any further references on the veracity of this memo?
I remember HH in the 90's when he "turn-coated", I think it was to the PPP or PML?
As the article mentions, HH has been with everyone from Jamaat-e-Islami to PML-N and then PPP. I had no idea that he was responsible for distributing explicit pictures of Benazir and her mother (quite disgusting). I don't know why Benazir would let someone like that work for her.
Then he served as Zardari's Ambassador to Washington. While there, he apparently wrote a memo which was against the Pakistan Army (asking the Americans to help Zardari or something). This is not what Ambassadors (of any country) are hired to do. This is called "Memogate" and that is why he is facing charges in Pakistan. Now of course he is associated with a neo-conservative think tank in DC and seems to be working in the US's interests (or his own interests) against Pakistan.
He is in the news again because Pakistan's Supreme Court recently asked the government to bring him home to face trial.
HH seems to be many Indians' favorite Pakistani because he advocates against what Pakistanis see as Pakistani interests. Just as Pakistanis love and adore Arundhati Roy because she says India needs to vacate Kashmir. If she said Pakistan needs to vacate Balochistan, we would be out for her blood.
This was quite a summary, thanks.
Arundhati Roy is a post modernist who has consistently supported violent attacks against the fully sovereign fully legitimate elected Indian government (national, state and local), Indian police, Indian Army. She has also consistently supported violent attacks against the fully sovereign fully legitimate elected Libyan, Iraqi and Afghan governments (national, state and local), their police and their army. She has supported violent attacks against the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian National Security Forces (NSF). She supports marxist and socialist economic policies that would cause mass global starvation and dehydration . . . and devastate the global poor. She believes in turning people against each other and exults in global civil war and conflict. She has a deep contempt for all religions . . . but eastern philosophy most of all. She opposes freedom of art, thought, intuition and heart (using very deceptive Orwellian words such as "hate speech").
Yes she criticizes Islamism and correctly says that she would be the first person strung up by the Islamists should they ever win. But that in no way justifies the rest of her psychopathic irrational perfidy. Much more importantly she like many other nonmuslims refuses to help muslims who are attacked by Islamist Jihadis.
If there was one poster child for everything wrong with Modernism, Marxism, Structuralism, Post Modernism and Subaltern studies . . . it would be Arundhati Roy.
Anan, do you feel that post modernism and structuralism are completely novel conceptual frameworks, a sui generis intellectual virus, or are they the most recent manifestations of existing thought traditions or at least impulses?
girmit, can you consider writing articles for BP. You are incredibly perceptive and intelligent.
"do you feel that post modernism and structuralism are completely novel conceptual frameworks, a sui generis intellectual virus?" Not completely. Rather they are a misunderstanding and misapplication of eastern philosophy.
A long article on post modernism is planned later.
All these systems are about transcending all meta narratives and universalist norms. The pathless journey. And they offer many ways to prepare for the journey. But the journey itself is pathless and requires an exponential nonlinear leap in possibilities. Among some steps that might be considered is to understand oneself completely. Including all the different layers or possibilities of awareness or witnessing in the nervous system and brain (including conscious, subconscious and unconscious brain). My interpretation of Islam is that Mohammed pbuh experienced seven layers of awareness of his brain and nervous system. Only after understanding this and understanding science and understanding every aspect of our own nature and subconcious can we begin to consciously use our 22 to 33 sensory inputs (as per neuroscience), sharply increase our subtle perceptive intuition/intelligence; disentangle, understand and transcend all meta-narratives and universalist norms. Truly become post modern . . . which is the meaning of freedom or salvation or self actualization or whatever phrase we choose to use.
Some European academics (Marx, Ferdinand de Saussure, Freud and others) came across these ideas in their study of the east; and misunderstood it and misapplied it. In practice they negated all meta-narratives and universalist norms and replaced them all with their own dysfunctional and irrational mega-narrative and universalist norms. In the process they have subconsciously colonized the minds of most humans and caused enormous damage to every country in the world. They have done this by reducing self confidence, creating inferiority complexes, turning people against each other, creating conspiracy theories.
Note that many of the greatest saints and sages in the east might be called atheist from a certain point of view. Eastern philosophy requires no belief on the basis of faith or the supernatural. Eastern philosophy encourages science, inquiry and questioning. The concept of offensive questioning does not exist.
This is one reason I find Slapstik and Razib so refreshing. May God bless atheists who fearlessly seek the truth wherever it leads them!
Nice to see you back Anan! We obviously disagree on Arundhati Roy. I am a big fan of "God of Small Things" though the latest novel is not so good. I don't agree with all her politics either. But when she says "India needs freedom from Kashmir and Kashmir needs freedom from India", I am with her. She has also taken a strong stand against communalism, which I admire. Her life has been threatened, yet she continues to speak and write.
Also, I will not be regular here as much. I am going to focus on my personal blog. See you around.
Why don't u lolink to ur book review.
To end this, left extremists are bigger and control more territory than islamists or anyone. maoists, they were the single biggest internal threat to India as PM Manmohan Singh said so, this during the time she went on excursion trip into maoist camps, called them gandhians with guns. Even condoned them killing people they consider as "informers" in kangaroo courts. HH is far better. He isnt visiting some terrorist camps out to kill all those they disagree with and take over pakistan or giving them intellectual defense. Hate is incompetent , but to hate those whom you know if given power would unleash violence on u isnt totally foolish. People get killed in India by left parties and left extremists.Some thing you dont experience in either USA or pakistan. There are accusations of left chief ministers advocating killing opponents as a policy and burying the bodies. The biggest political violence happens in left ruled states. To give perspective, Over 50,000 died in West Bengal due to violence unleashed by left on opposition. Unlike kashmir where there was army, terrorists supported by army of other country, this was entirely internal political violence. It goes to show that if u have sympathetic press, academia, even if u unleash violence and terror and force mothers to eat rice mixed in with blood of her sons, you can get away without being held to account.
We would happily take someone like HH over roy any day. They arent even in same league. He comes across as being mostly reasonable. And seems mostly to want pakistan to move away from military control to democracy. For roy, democracy is just convenient tool for overthrowing what is and bringing in the new left empire. You can be assured that if left comes to power, it will seek the monopoly of violence over all others. Academics, press,activists will simply look away. They wont make noise. People like HH because he advocates peace with India, democracy , end to terrorist camps, leaving the kashmir problem into the future. For Roy, peace isnt enough, it has to be on terms of left. It is because of her sympathy with maoist violence that media including ndtv whose chief is cousin of roy no longer give her a platform.
We obviously disagree on Ms. Roy and the "left" in general, though I am not a Maoist or even a socialist. I voted Bernie Sanders in the USA (that is probably the closest approximation of my political positions I can give you).
I disagree with you about how indigenous the Kashmiri freedom movement is, but that is not the topic of this article so let's leave it at that.
My problem with HH is not that he wants "peace with India". I want peace with India. But not on India's terms. Also HH (to me) seems to be all about himself and his own interests–not Pakistan's. That's fine, but not when you are serving as Pakistan's Ambassador. It is then your job to represent the people you work for.
One of the reasons I admire and respect HH is because of his family connection to Nizami masters and Nizamuddin Dargah. Suspect this is one of the reasons HH understands and connects so well to trans eastern culture and civilization. I think HH would be an amazing PM of India should he have that role. HH is a critic of current misinterpretations of post modernism and socialism . . . and a big supporter of globalization, free markets, civil society and efficient governance.
AbdulMajeed Abid, hope to respond to your article with the nuance and respect it deserves soon. Very well written.
Maybe consider hyperlinking your body of articles together for the convenience of readers.
I first became a fan of HH in the 1999-2001 period; when he was one of the few non virtue signaling authentic Pakistani voices. In particular I remember HH after 9/11 warmly trying to engage with a Northern Alliance representative; and not be defensive when the Northern Alliance representative was blasting Pakistan for the Taliban. HH also openly called for neoliberal economic reforms and globalizati0n–including with respect to Pakistan's regional "enemies". Naturally all of this was music to my ears.
AbdulMajeed Abid, you have so many nuanced thoughtful articles it is tough to decide which one to comment on.

Who's the Employer?
Answers are provided by S. Derrin Watson, JD, APM
Multiple Restaurants; One Plan?
(Posted March 26, 2001)
Question 90: If family members own separate restaurants, can they cover their employees under the same benefit plan?
Answer: Yes. But that doesn't say much.
Let me put it to you this way. If I own a bakery, and my next door neighbor, Charlie, owns a law firm, and Ann, who is a stranger to both of us, is a doctor, all three of us can cover our employees under the same qualified plan. This is a "multiple-employer" plan. Although we are treated as a single employer for purposes of counting service under the terms of the plan, we are separate employers for purposes of all the various nondiscrimination tests in the Internal Revenue Code. That means each employer will need to test separately to see if its portion of the plan meets the coverage and vesting requirements in the Code.
The interesting question is whether these restaurants will be treated as a single employer for purposes of the nondiscrimination tests, so all the tests are run once for the whole group. That will be a function of whether a controlled group exists between them. The controlled group rules are very much a function of ownership, with some detailed attribution rules. Some members of families (such as spouses, or parents and their children under 21) are lumped together, so that, for example, my wife is deemed to own my stock. Other family members (such as brothers and sisters) are totally separate. So, without knowing more about your situation, it is impossible for me to comment on whether a controlled group exists, except to suggest that you ought to have an attorney review the issue specifically.
Answers are provided as general guidance on the subjects covered in the question and are not provided as legal advice to the questioner or to readers. Any legal issues should be reviewed by your legal counsel to apply the law to the particular facts of this and similar situations.
The law in this area changes frequently. Answers are believed to be correct as of the posting dates shown. The completeness or accuracy of a particular answer may be affected by changes in the law (statutes, regulations, rulings, court decisions, etc.) that occur after the date on which a particular Q&A is posted.

Clutch Teen Follows Game-Tying Basket With Legendary Game-Winner
There may be no bigger clutch player in the country than this scholastic stud who's not even living in the lower 48.
Daniel Hornbuckle, of West Valley High School, in Fairbanks, Alaska, hit a game-tying three-pointer in the closing seconds of his team's game against Colony High School, from Palmer, Alaska. That's great and all, but Hornbuckle upped it a notch or two when he stole the inbounds pass seconds later and fired up a game-winning, buzzer-beating bucket.
You very rarely see anything from Alaska not National Geographic or Life Below Zero-related, let alone something from the world of sports, so it's nice to see something so well-done on the court get its moment in the sun, which doesn't shine too much on the state this time of year.
Hornbuckle is familiar with playing in tight spots, having won consecutive state titles. We'll just have to wait and see if he can take his game to the next level.


Oh, this is by FAR my favorite. No need to go and do it myself. I would copy and paste this one!
Well, okay maybe I would look into getting Sione Takitaki....but that is the only change I would make, I promise.
Took a stab at her too with a couple of mid round trade backs and this is what I ended up with. Two more smurf receivers but I didn't really see many better options available at the times. I doubt I need to go into the first two at all, they are fairly commonly debated/talked about around here. Dieter was one of the highest guys on the board and I am of the opinion we need interior line help badly, same thing goes along with the double pick in the 5th round with Jordan. Benny Snell is kind of the Alfred Morris of the classy, extremely high effort runner, short gain back. Hardman is a guy I'm sure not too many have heard about, he's on the smaller side, think poor mans Antonio brown. Wont get out athleted by anyone, speed to burn but a little raw. Savion Smith would be a role player, played for the tide, although it was for one of their poorer secondaries in some time but still should be very disciplined. Sutton Smith, very productive at the college level as a rusher, worth taking a flier on late, same thing with Renfrow. And the TE I simply have no idea on.
Thank you! I could make notes on many of the picks, but the main one I guess is the second rounder where I had options. Deebo Samuel has really grown on me. He reminds me of Pierre Garcon in Washington/Indy and would fit a similar role for us. A smidge below 6', 210+ and stocky, with really strong hands, change of direction explosiveness, after the catch skills and relatively mediocre top end speed for a smaller guy (I think Deebo, like Garcon, will be a high 4.4, low 4.5 guy). All of these traits fit with Garoppolo's (and Mullens') skillsets. Where Garcon had really big hands for his size, Deebo has nonsense hands, and they show up on tape. Plus, he has nonsense long arms for his height (he has arms longer than Anthony Johnson and David Sills V, for instance). He is way better at contested catches than a man of his height generally has any right to be. I love his competitiveness and drive. And he did just spend the week roasting fools at the Senior Bowl, including being just about uncoverable in the red zone. My one concern would be injury history. But, for me, he offers similar traits to guys like, say, Riley Ridley, but has proven himself on the field. Ridley hasn't had nearly as many reps. And I want a starter at one of the outside WR positions pretty close to immediately.
I'd be pretty happy with this draft tbh. I'm not sure why they didn't give me the 7th round pick - unsure if we have now officially lost this pick or not to Cleveland, which is possible. If we haven't, the pick probably would have been Justin Layne, who was somehow still on the board at that point.
These mock draft simulators keep dropping DK Metcalf, and I don't see why.
Traded back with Buffalo for 2019 (9) 2/8 and 2020 1st.
Important to note that I added Phil Haynes, C/OG and Mitch Hyatt OT/OG as UDFAs and acquired Earl Thomas, FS, Justin Houston, EDGE and Brandon Marshall, LB, in FA (in my head of course).
I don't even know how far u see Metcalf drops, but if he's anywhere from #4 to #40, it would not be a surprise for me.
Made this comment a while ago, but as for what you said, I think that's fair. Definitely don't see him dropping out out of the first, but if he dropped into the twenties, I wouldn't be surprised. I think the scarcity/supply and demand thing is going to be big for receivers in this draft. Feel like some really good guys will drop because teams will want to focus on other, arguably more important position groups in this draft that have a lot of talent (OT, DE,DT,,IOL).
I expect a pretty huge run on receivers in the second and third round.
I did a mock last night and it was pretty crazy in regards to what I was able to accomplish and get. Granted I don't know all the prospects, but I know these names were thrown around our forum.

Toledo's 500,000th Jeep due this week
Booming demand and push from Marchionne set up a record year
Toledo Assembly Complex
Big producers
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Toledo Assembly Complex is on course to produce 500,000 Jeeps this year for the first time. Here are the 5 busiest vehicle assembly plants in North America through November.
Unit production Change YOY
1. Nissan (Smyrna, Tenn.) 601,276 35%
2. Fiat Chrysler (Toledo, Ohio) 470,096* 78%
3. Volkswagen (Puebla, Mexico) 456,596 -8%
4. Toyota (Georgetown, Ky.) 429,596 -10%
5. Honda (Marysville, Ohio) 417,680* -9%
*Estimate
Source: Automotive News Data Center
Workers at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Toledo Assembly Complex are expected to stop their lines for a few minutes late this week to acknowledge something they've never done before: build over 500,000 Jeeps in one year.
Unprecedented global demand for the plant's two products -- the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Cherokee -- transformed Toledo into the second busiest assembly plant in North America this year.
Toledo trails only Nissan's massive assembly complex in Smyrna, Tenn., which is on pace to produce about 25 percent more vehicles in 2014 than Toledo is.
Production at several other large North American assembly plants -- Volkswagen's Puebla, Mexico, complex, Toyota's plant in Georgetown, Ky., and Honda's plant in Marysville, Ohio -- is down so far this year, according to the Automotive News Data Center. Of the 10 largest assembly plants in North America, Nissan's Smyrna complex and FCA's Toledo, Windsor (Ontario) and Jefferson North (Detroit) plants are the only ones with production higher than in 2013, according to the most recent estimates.
Vehicle production at Toledo has nearly doubled compared with 2013, when output of the Jeep Cherokee was ramping up. It is also a third higher than in the facility's previous best year, 2007, when Toledo pumped out 377,911 Jeep Wranglers and Libertys and Dodge Nitros.
Plant and union officials in Toledo said they were challenged by CEO Sergio Marchionne to top 500,000 vehicles in 2014 as part of his goal to build and sell over 1 million Jeeps this year. About 5,100 people work at the Toledo Assembly Complex.
Through November, Jeep sales are up 44 percent to 629,074 in the United States, the brand's largest global market. Wrangler and Cherokee are the second- and third-best-selling models through November, just a few thousand units behind Jeep's top-selling Grand Cherokee. c
