Texas is also the top Free Trade Zone in the country. The company

industries, including automotive, packaging and medical. Its new manufacturing facility will produce fluid control components for the semiconductor industry. Can anyone say "Tesla"? Companies expanding in or re-locating to Texas are tracked here.

North Dakota's penetration rate is just under 12%; the national "average" / rate is right around 5%; and, California? Less than the national average, although not by much.
Norway: from Facebook today.
NFL: none of the three NFL games are easily found on television today. The first and third games are only on the "NFL Network." The second game is available only on Amazon Prime. Link here.
