Hazy, particulate-filled, dusky pumpkin. Who put pureed pumpkin pie into my glass? The orange-tinted, cream colored head is largish after a spirited pour and has quite a bit of stick-to-it-iveness. It's pretty wonderful in the lace department as well. Dutch Girl Lager has a good look, even though it looks more like a pumpkin ale than most pumpkin ales.
This just might be the best American macro lager nose I've ever run across. Skagit River is hardly a macrobrewery, so wouldn't All-Malt Lager be more appropriate? It's hard to say what makes it such a good sniffer, so I'll give the credit to hops. Although there's a fresh-milled grain quality that's appealing, the wonderfulness is more in the top notes. The nose is floral, herbal and fruity. Very nice.
After drinking, APA is at least as fitting as the stated style. There's a solid, lightly caramel malty backbone with an amount of hoppiness that would make many pale ales proud. The beer is bitter enough and fruity enough to remind me of some type of orange-infused tea. Not as heavy or as biting as black tea, but more substantial than herbal 'tea'. This is definitely an APA, there's no doubt in my mind.
Hops are the clear focal point, so I'm grateful they're multi-dimensional. There's a pungent grapefruit pithiness that calls to mind one of the 4-Cs, as well as a floral spiciness that has its origins in Europe, unless I miss my guess. The mouthfeel is medium-full and strikes me as more ale-like than lager-like. The restrained amount of carbonation is the equivalent of plugging in a blinking neon sign that says 'session beer... session beer... session beer... '
All style arguments aside, Skagit River's Dutch Girl Lager is a deliciously hoppy, incredibly drinkable beer that I would love to have access to. I continue to be amazed at the number of excellent, unheralded offerings emanating from the Pacific Northwest. If you run across a beautiful Dutch girl offering you a beer, accept it with a smile.

Pours a light golden with chunks and floaties everywhere wich was unexpected with a creamy like froth on top.A very noticable lemon elemant in the aroma with some grass showing its hop presence with an underlying toasted malt note.Very sturdy lager here definently not watered down nice mouthfeel to it,toasty and quite hoppy for a lager, lemony and refreshing.a damn good beer to have after a day of running around the kitchen,a macro lager hmm to generic a term for this one I think.

I have an innate distrust of bottles, especially bottles without bottling or freshness dates, and most especially screwtops. Add to that the fact that this is a lager and should have been maintained at refrigerated temperatures without interruption since completing its final fermentation.
So when was this out-of-state lager brewed and has it been refrigerated continuously? Where exactly has this Dutch Girl been? Who knows? But I sense so much potential in this beer that Im definitely marking it for further pursuit on draught next time I get north of Seattle. For one thing, the head on this beer is thick as whipped cream and the measure of striated lace it leaves clinging to the glass is remarkable. And these suds have staying power. The head actually begins to push upwards in the center, forming a dome after a few minutes. The distinctive visual presentation is marred only by a storm of flocs that first congregate near the bottom of the glass and later swim about aimlessly in the glass. The mouthfeel is also distinctly full and pouty.
I thought at first that the name of this beer might suggest a continental pilsner along the lines of Heineken. The body is actually copper-gold with a taste of golden grains and punctual bittering. The aroma was also grainy and suggested a slight lack of freshness. The lightly toasted flavor and traditional bittering speak of a cogent recipe and quality ingredients. Gotta try a fresh draught to be sure.

There is no way this should be judged as a macro lager. It is far too dark and has way to many hops in it. My numbers reflect a review based on it being an AMerican Lager (not Macro) so here goes.
This lager pours a copper/orange color and has a lemony spicy hop aroma to it. The head is thin but that is to be expected out of a lager. The flavor is big bitter, one of the bitterest American Lagers Ive ever had. If you like the hop and the bitterness that can go along with them, give this Girl a try. After the upfront bitterness subsides the light pale malt flavor peaks though and a floral hop flavor lingers.

Appearance This one has a nice, big white head and is a heavy, thick orange in the body. Me thinks this is an Adjunct Lager malt bomb.
Smell Yes, this beer has a big malt nose. Its a bit grainy at times, but for the most part this is thick and malty. Theres an honest effort at balance as well with some light citrus and pine hopping.
Taste Theres a decent hop compliment at the taste as well, but the malts here come on like a freight train. This is one of the biggest Adjunct Lagers that Ive had to date. The malts are thick and taste kind of like barley.
Mouthfeel This is a solid medium-bodied with no hint of sweetness on the tongue. The carbonation is very low for the style.
Drinkability Well, the BJCP guide actually says that strong flavor is a fault for this style. Having said that, this was a big un, thats for sure. I enjoyed drinking it though, so I guess thats all that counts.

Medium gold color, small white foamy head. Aroma is grainy and sweet. A medium bodied lager. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are spicy and mild. Good balance. Nice flavor. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Nice refreshing beer.

Served in straight pint glass. Poured a clear, clean, bright yellow with over an inch of sharp white head that dissipated quickly and left a moderate amount of lacing.
A typical clean grain aroma, finished with a little hop tang. The flavor was similar, a basic American beer, grainy with a touch of hops.
Again, the body and drinkability were typical for this style. Overall, a decent little Lager that us beer geeks won't mind and would make a nice introduction to craft beers for any macro drinkers you know. Your Uncle Glen, who won't drink anything except his macro of choice, would be OK quaffing this beer.

Pours a nice orange amber color with slight off white head, lacing is average. The smell is slight lemon zest and pine with a sugar malt base, the tate a little to hoppy than I want in a lager, the hops didn't blend right with the sweet toasted grain. Hops almost funky tasting, honey seemed bland. Medium bodied for a lager, good but nowhere near some other lagers.

Norfolk, Va.-based Norfolk Southern Corp. expects to continue increasing operations this year at its new Memphis Regional Intermodal Terminal in Rossville, just east of Collierville.
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) – Energy companies behind the oil boom on the Northern Plains are increasingly turning to an industrial-age workhorse – the locomotive – to move their crude to refineries across the U.S., as plans for new pipelines stall and existing lines can't keep up with demand.
Positive momentum far outweighed the negative in the local logistics and distribution industry during 2012, as city officials and business leaders continued elevating Memphis's status as world logistics hub.
With Norfolk Southern Corp.'s Memphis Regional Intermodal Terminal now operational in Rossville and a pair of large-scale industrial manufacturing buildings under way in the area, stakeholders say the future is bright for the region.

NEW YORK (AP) – Railroads have cleared a major hurdle as the industry averted a looming strike, paving the way for growth ahead, analysts said Friday.
The freight rail industry announced late Thursday it has settled labor disputes with two unions and agreed to extend talks with a third. Without the agreements, the railway unions could have launched a strike as early as Tuesday, when a federal "cooling off" period was set to expire. The agreements came just hours after Republican House leaders said they would move to vote Friday on emergency legislation to prevent a work stoppage.
Proving naysayers wrong has become a hobby of William Adair's.
When the Collierville native and his wife started Direct General Insurance Co. in 1991, it had six employees. Twelve years later, the firm had 520 offices across 13 states, was competing with State Farm and Allstate, and "all of the things that couldn't be done were getting done," he said.
DALLAS (AP) — Freight railroad Norfolk Southern says third-quarter profit rose 24 percent on higher rates.

Change is afoot with the area's transportation and logistics industries. New developments in the region – from a proposed third bridge spanning the Mississippi River to a new multimillion-dollar intermodal facility – should keep transportation and logistics as the area's bread-and-butter businesses.
Railroad Norfolk Southern says its second-quarter earnings jumped as higher revenue offset a 60 percent increase in fuel costs.

Tennessee state Sen. Delores Gresham compared it to Friday's royal wedding. "This beats any royal wedding," the Fayette County legislator said from beneath a white tent on a leveled dirt field where the Memphis Regional Intermodal Facility in Rossville is being built.
Although the overall commercial real estate market is soft, Memphis' industrial sector appears to be gathering more steam than any other category.
With the arrival of such large projects like the Electrolux and Mitsubishi plants and Norfolk Southern Corp.'s new Fayette County intermodal yard, industry professionals hope ancillary business will bolster the industrial market by sparking new development, attracting new investors and enhancing the area's economy.
Optimism is in the eye of the beholder in the commercial real estate industry. In a city plagued with high vacancies and scarce speculative development, investors have Memphis on its radar – and Memphis should too.
Memphis often gets a bad rap. So many people want to focus on negatives, and that simply breeds more negativity. From my perspective, the Memphis market is a uniquely great place to live and do business. Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so. FedEx, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, AutoZone, International Paper, Conwood, Smuckers, Asics, Nucor and Electrolux – all are major corporations either headquartered here or choosing to have major manufacturing or distribution centers here.
Norfolk Southern Corp. has a busy year ahead as it finally begins preparations for a $112 million project that will create jobs, increase rail capacity and reduce highway traffic congestion in the Memphis area.
South Mississippi Electric Power Association has sued Norfolk Southern Railway Co. for $34 million, claiming the railroad uses a monopoly over coal delivery to inflate costs.

The year came to a close with a milestone in economic development when Swedish manufacturer Electrolux said it will build a $190 million manufacturing plant on 800 acres of land in the Frank C. Pidgeon Industrial Park in southwest Memphis.
NEW YORK (AP) – Norfolk Southern Corp. said Wednesday that a slowly improving economy, cost controls and higher prices drove third-quarter earnings up 47 percent.
With significant commercial real estate progress in 2010, DeSoto County's stamina has no end in sight, industry professionals say.
DeSoto County is similar to that of other areas with a handful of submarkets that continue to do well and bolster the rest of the region. One of the county's most prominent firms, Chuck Roberts Commercial Real Estate, has seen thriving submarkets that are located just a few miles from struggling ones.
NEW YORK (AP) – Congress is taking a closer look at the growing profits of the nation's railroads and the price hikes for their customers that may trickle down to consumers.
In a report released Wednesday, the Senate Commerce Committee says higher rates for rail transportation are putting undue pressure on customers who don't have an alternative way to ship their goods. Those customers, called captive shippers, are mostly electric utilities, chemical and agricultural companies. Higher transportation rates for them can mean higher energy and grocery bills for consumers.
Memphis-based Mallory Alexander International Logistics has opened an office in New York state, its 23rd worldwide branch, the company announced Thursday.
The privately held, longtime third-party logistics firm (3PL) teamed with Charles Kendall Freight of London to open a branch in Inwood, N.Y., a small town in Nassau County just outside New York City.

Memphis has long been a railroad town.
The city's central location and the availability of other transport modes like the Mississippi River made it a popular choice with Class I railroads, five of which now have extensive intermodal and switching operations here.
An initiative designed to give citizens and communities input in the region's future transportation needs will reach a critical milestone next week with the first round of its public meeting phase.
Hardly anyone refers to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 by its official name. They instead abbreviate it as "ARRA," or more commonly, call it the "stimulus plan."
No matter its acronym or moniker, the landmark legislation approved by Congress last year pledged $787 billion in tax cuts and funding – and promised to spark the U.S. economy.
News came recently that Norfolk Southern Corp. will receive $105 million in federal stimulus money. It was reported that $52.5 million of the taxpayer funds will be used to build the company's new Memphis Regional Intermodal Facility in Fayette County between Rossville and Piperton on the former Twin Hill Ranch.
Ahost of heavy hitters back Norfolk Southern Corp.'s plan for a $112 million intermodal facility in Fayette County, but many of those in the private sector declined to comment here.
The Piperton-Rossville area of Fayette County will change and the central question is how.
But that's not the only question to consider as Norfolk Southern works to assemble another $28.5 million in financing for its $112 million intermodal yard.
The development of Norfolk Southern Corp.'s $112 million intermodal yard on a former cattle ranch in Fayette County has polarized the community for more than a year.
Norfolk Southern Corp.'s plan to build a $112 million intermodal facility in neighboring Rossville received a major boost today with the announcement that it would receive $105 million in federal stimulus money under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009's Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Program.
Norfolk Southern Corp. hasn't laid down any of the track that will connect its main line to the proposed $112 million intermodal terminal in Rossville, but the company is laying down a foundation to keep the project on target to open in two years.
NEW YORK (AP) - Railroad operator Norfolk Southern Corp. reported Wednesday it felt a "continuation of economic momentum" in the last three months of 2009, but not enough to prevent a steep decline in its fourth-quarter earnings.
When Bruce Lambert was looking for a place to host a regional freight conference, he set his sights on a city about six hours upriver from his hometown of New Orleans.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Cleaning up the Tennessee Valley Authority's coal ash spill at Kingston is already delivering big paydays for some contractors and it's a tab rate payers should be watching.
2009 was a year without a script – and plenty of improvising on the political stage.
It was supposed to be an off-election year except in Arlington and Lakeland.
2008 ended with voters in the city and county approving a series of changes to the charters of Memphis and Shelby County governments. Those changes were supposed to set a new direction for both entities, kicking into high gear in 2010 and ultimately culminating two years later.
All things considered, the local logistics sector fared better than many industries during 2009 as the recession claimed casualties throughout the U.S. Granted, some logistics, distribution and transportation companies suffered layoffs and closures, but the overall outlook is as bright as can be expected during these bleak times.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. on Tuesday named Stephen Burke, the chief operating officer of Comcast Corp., to its board of directors.
Memphis' role in the global supply chain is often underappreciated, but shippers moving auto parts from Yokohama to Yazoo City or electronics from Beijing to Birmingham understand this city's importance.
Memphis' intermodal and freight capabilities are legendary. The city has boasted the world's busiest cargo airport for 17 straight years thanks to hometown shipping giant FedEx Corp.
NEW YORK (AP) – Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. on Tuesday agreed to buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp., making a $34 billion bet on the future of the U.S. economy.
Norfolk Southern Corp. has unveiled preliminary environmental data that will serve as the foundation of its proposed intermodal terminal in Fayette County, where cargo containers will be transferred between trucks and trains.
Evidence of Memphis' importance to the intermodal industry can be seen throughout town, but nowhere is it more apparent than at the intersection of Lamar Avenue and Shelby Drive, where nine-story cranes now dominate the warehouse district's industrial skyline.
Aviators attain flight and control the movements of their aircraft by precisely balancing the forces of lift, thrust, drag and gravity. The people piloting the aerotropolis initiative – the promotion of Memphis' economy focused on the airport, other transportation assets and the connectivity among them – are negotiating their own set of physics in hopes of becoming airborne.
Most of the logistics and transportation headlines these days revolve around railroads beefing up their operations in Memphis, one of the most significant intermodal centers in the country.
BNSF Railway Co. is completing a $200 million renovation of its intermodal terminal at Lamar Avenue and Shelby Drive.
E. Hunter Harrison's railroad legacy was cemented last week when Canadian National Railway Co. renamed its Johnston Yard freight car switching facility after him.
Canadian National Railway Co. next week will unveil the three-year, $100 million renovation to its Johnston Yard freight car switching facility in South Memphis. The railroad will commemorate its massive investment of time and money on Sept. 24 at 11 a.m. at the yard, 297 Rivergate Road, off Horn Lake Road.
Imagine what the region will look like in 25 years. Where will the population growth occur? What areas will experience the most economic development? And how will transportation play a role in connecting people and businesses with each other and with the rest of the country and world?
WASHINGTON (AP) - Shipments carried by U.S. railroads fell 16.1 percent last week compared with a year earlier, a major industry trade group reported Thursday.
The Association of American Railroads said freight carried on the tracks for the week ending Aug. 22 totaled 279,478 carloads.
Preliminary findings of the "Memphis Regional Intermodal Infrastructure Assessment" reveal that Memphis is positioned well for the future thanks to a healthy network of transportation assets, but the city also needs to be wary of changing global supply trends that could leave it lagging behind peer cities.
Thanks to an expanded BNSF Railway Co. intermodal terminal, direct access to the Southeastern U.S. and the bulk of the city's warehouses and distribution centers, Lamar Avenue is a lifeline for Memphis' logistics community.
The last of the major U.S. railroads to report second-quarter earnings agrees with the others: It appears the worst of the recession is over.
But Norfolk Southern Corp. warned Wednesday of an "unstable and uncertain" finish to 2009.
Although Norfolk Southern Corp.'s planned $129 million intermodal yard won't be built within the city limits but instead in neighboring Rossville, Memphis' logistics and distribution industries stand to benefit from the railroad's decision to expand its local presence.
Don Culbreath has about 200 acres for sale in Chickasaw Trails Industrial Park, a 2,600-acre site in Marshall County, Miss., but so far no one has shown any interest in buying the land.
Wick Moorman admitted that if he had traveled to Fayette County earlier this year, he might as well have shown up wearing a Darth Vader costume. That's because Moorman, the CEO of Norfolk Southern Corp., realized he and his company were viewed back then as evil overlords.
Wick Moorman, CEO of Norfolk Southern Corp., made it official Thursday: The company is bringing a $129 million intermodal facility to 570 acres in southwest Fayette County.
The land where Norfolk Southern Corp. wants to build an intermodal yard was annexed Monday night by the town of Rossville, paving the way for the railroad's proposed multimillion-dollar, multi-acre facility.
Norfolk Southern Corp. will end months of speculation Thursday by announcing the site of its new Fayette County intermodal facility.
Paul Morris empathizes with the college students who climb over the trains stopped on the tracks that intersect the University of Memphis campus on their way to class.
Norfolk Southern Corp.'s plan to develop a multimillion-dollar, multi-acre intermodal facility in Fayette County cleared a political hurdle Thursday night, moving the massive project one step closer to reality.
The South Fayette Alliance on Wednesday night began the process of endorsing a site where the group wants Norfolk Southern Corp. to build its proposed intermodal facility, although it didn't reach a formal position.
The freight trains that rumble through Memphis are hard to ignore, especially the ones that parallel or bisect main thoroughfares and disrupt traffic. But even people who don't cross railroad tracks during their commutes are likely to hear the distant blare of horns at some point during the day as locomotives make their way into and out of the city.
For the third year in a row, Memphis will take center stage among the logistics, distribution and transportation industries when the city hosts the Memphis Multi Modal Conference May 11-12.
The event, titled "Global Logistics and the Global Economy," will be held at The Peabody hotel and draw a national and international attendance. It once again is sponsored by the Memphis World Trade Club, which began hosting the event in 2007 as a way to showcase the city's advantages for moving freight.
NEW YORK (AP) – Norfolk Southern Corp., which has a rail yard in Memphis and is considering a local site for a new intermodal facility, reported Wednesday it expects shipping demand to approach its worst level this quarter and possibly start to improve as early as the second half of this year.
Freight transportation isn't inherently "green." No industry that burns as much fossil fuel as planes, trains or trucks in moving goods from one place to another can be considered sustainable or environmentally friendly.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The railroad industry says last week's U.S. shipments sank 14.2 percent compared with a year earlier.
The Association of American Railroads said Thursday that freight for week ended February 21 totaled 278,827 carloads.
Janice Stanton, managing director of investment research for Cushman & Wakefield in New York, discussed the global financial crisis and how it has impacted commercial real estate at Wednesday's Commercial Property Forecast Summit, at the Germantown Performing Arts Centre and sponsored by the Memphis Area Association of Realtors Commercial Council.
Norfolk Southern Corp. has officially ruled out Frank C. Pidgeon Industrial Park south of Downtown Memphis for its planned intermodal yard because of logistical reasons, the company confirmed Tuesday.
Economic investment during a recession typically receives a wave of support, but Norfolk Southern Corp.'s tentative plan to develop a massive intermodal yard in Fayette County has been met with a groundswell of resistance.
Already in the midst of a $200 million expansion to its Memphis intermodal yard near Lamar Avenue and Shelby Drive, BNSF Railway Co. is making another substantial investment in the city.

Obama hints at cybersecurity shake-up with review
In a move that could reshape the federal government's cybersecurity efforts, President Obama on Monday said a former Booz Allen consultant would conduct an immediate two-month review of all related agency activities.
The announcement indicates that the White House's National Security Council may wrest significant authority away from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which weathered withering criticism last fall for its lackluster efforts.
Obama selected Melissa Hathaway, who worked for the director of national intelligence in the Bush administration and was director of an multi-agency "Cyber Task Force," to conduct the review with an … Read more

just a matter of semantics really I suppose - fact of the matter is you DO NOT need to pay to get into Google ergo it's not PFI. Just because you can buy a good link that triggers a crawl does not lead to the conclusion that Google is PFI. It's a false premise. You're setting a premise that the only way into Google is to buy a link and that's simply not the case.

Recipe by PATUNYA
"Enjoy this fruit filled punch for all occasions."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 (750 milliliter) bottles rum
1 (750 milliliter) bottle vodka
1 (750 milliliter) bottle 190 proof grain alcohol
1 gallon cranberry juice
1 (2 liter) bottle chilled lemon-lime soda
1 quart grape juice
4 cups halved fresh strawberries
12 kiwis, peeled and quartered
6 oranges, peeled and segmented
1 bunch grapes, separated and rinsed
1 large watermelon, cubed and seeded
This is good stuff. I tend to specialize mine for different occasions. I will add a little lime cool aid for St. Patrick's day, some orange juice for Halloween, and so on. I also like to soak the fruit in the vodka for a couple of hours before mixing.
Used this recipe for my big Dirty 30 Birthday party... it was fantastically delicious! Made it almost to the recipe-only change was that instead of everclear (Idaho does not sell it! bummer!) I used Bicardi 151. It did the trick :)

Up here in Washington, we call this Spode. My friend, Jill, and I made this for my thirtieth. It's great because it'll bend easily with whatever alcohol you have on hand. When we made it, we used orange juice and added a 2 liter of Ruby Red Squirt and an envelope of fruit punch Kool-Aid. I think we also added a fifth of raspberry Pucker. Good and potent. I was sucking them down all night.
this is a great recipe but this is best made the day before and chilled to let the alcohol soak into the fruit and add some cherries they were always my favorite in this.!!! excellent recipe
i love this stuff! around these parts though this is not enough. we put them in large clean (new) 30 gallon trash cans and make at least 5 times this recipe.....lol.....its a good time.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – The Mississippi House has approved tens of millions of dollars' worth of tax breaks for businesses, but it's unclear if the proposals will survive the Senate.
A top budget writer, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Herb Frierson, estimated Tuesday that the proposed tax breaks would be worth at least $50 million a year and he said that's a big problem. Frierson, R-Poplarville, said the $5.5 billion state budget is already stretched thin. He said even if legislators spend all the available cash for the fiscal year that starts July 1, they'd still be $172 million short of paying for critical needs. Taking out another $50 million would put the shortage at $222 million.

Shipbuilder's chief owner isn't fleeing debts
Saturday, 25 February 2012 | 00:00
The local government in Yueqing, Zhejiang province, has denied rumors that the chief shareholder of Dongfang Shipbuilding (Group) Co Ltd has fled in response to pressure to pay off debts.
Officials said Chen Tongkao, the chief shareholder, was in fact absent because he is looking in Singapore for investors who can help restructure the company and that he can be reached at any time.
Before Dongfang Shipbuilding's debt troubles surfaced, it had been a star business in the city. Its shares began trading on London's Alternative Investment Market in August 2011, making it the first Chinese shipbuilder to be listed on AIM.
As the global shipbuilding industry struggles to ride out the current economic downturn, various Chinese companies in the industry are contending with a decline in demand and reduced profits.
Recent media reports alleged that Chen had furtively slipped out of Yueqing, leaving Dongfang Shipbuilding with a large amount of debt.
The city's statement denied that.
"He is seeking help from investment institutions for a possible restructuring," Yueqing's finance office said in a statement on Thursday. "During his stay in Singapore, Chen is staying in touch with the government at all times.
"Ever since the company reported that it had a capital shortage in October 2011, the leadership at Dongfang Shipbuilding has stayed in touch with government departments and banks."
After Dongfang's debt troubles became evident, the local government set up an assistance panel in November 2011 and later established a special fund of 200 million yuan ($31.7 million) to help cash-strapped enterprises such as Dongfang Shipbuilding.
The city's reply noted that Chen has a 71.4 percent stake in the company, which has debts of 1.13 billion yuan.
According to earlier reports by the 21st Century Business Herald, the company had operating revenue of $127 million in 2010 and made a pre-tax profit of $1.5 million. By the end of June 2011, the company was working to fill orders worth $89 million; the delivery date for some of those orders will come as late as January 2014.
A number of observers are taking those figures as signs that the company is not at the brink of a bankruptcy.
During the past two years, Dongfang Shipbuilding has placed a priority on restructuring itself, trying to encourage investment from private-equity companies and have itself listed overseas. Even so, the company has been harmed by poor internal management and excessive expenditure, said Yueqing city's finance office.
The office has announced various plans to bail out Dongfang Shipbuilding. The government has worked with local banks to lower the company's debt ratio, to guarantee that orders would be completed on time.
Liu Xunliang, secretary-general of the Shanghai Shipbrokers Association, said the slump in the industry may force as many as 30 percent of the small shipbuilders in the country into bankruptcy.

Giant Dog Sculpture
If you like dogs and lawn art, this Giant Dog Sculpture is a better way to accessorize your yard than a pink flamingo. If you don't care for either, it's probably not for you. The hollow steel sculpture, designed by Dale Rogers, measures 4'7" x 6'2" and is handmade in Massachusetts. Because it is made from steel, over time the metal with rust and darken, giving the piece a much more attractive - not to mention less retina-searing - than the aforementioned flamingos.

Sheng slang

Native to | Kenya |

Language codes | |
Sheng is a Swahili-based cant, perhaps a mixed language or creole, originating among the urban underclass of Nairobi, Kenya, and influenced by many of the languages spoken there. While primarily a language of urban youths, it has spread across social classes and geographically to neighbouring Tanzania and Uganda.
Etymology and history[edit]
The word "Sheng" is coined from the two languages that it is mainly derived from: Swahili and English. The "h" was included from the middle of "Swahili because "Seng" would have sounded unusual.
Originating in the early 1950s in the Eastlands area of Nairobi (variously described as a "slum", "ghetto" or "suburb"), Sheng is now heard among matatu drivers/touts across the region, and in the popular media. Most of the Sheng words are introduced in various communities and schools and given wide exposure by music artists who include them in their lyrics, hence the rapid growth. It can be assumed to be the first language of many Kenyans in urban areas.
Like all slang, Sheng is mainly used by the youth and is part of popular culture in Kenya. It also evolves rapidly, as words are moved into and out of slang use. It is finding broad usage among hip hop artists in the African Great Lakes region, both mainstream and "underground" (whose music helps spread the language and contribute to rapid changes or shifts in Sheng vocabulary), as well as among some university and secondary-school students, the language was not always associated with people who cannot do much for the society until when the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation noted the rise in both class and diversity. Radio presenters John Karani, Jeff Mwangemi and Prince Otach took it to the main stream by presenting the first radio shows using sheng phrases on the national broadcast. By 2010 alsmost every effect media show was presented in sheng.
Although the grammar, syntax, and much of the vocabulary are drawn from Swahili, Sheng borrows from English and from the languages of various ethnic groups in Kenya, including Luhya, Gĩkũyũ, Luo and Kamba. Words are also borrowed from languages that are neither a local language nor English – such as the Sheng word dame "lady" — which is a title of honour for a lady in English, or morgen "morning" – a Sheng word used in some areas with a similar meaning in German.
Sheng vocabulary can vary significantly within Kenya's various subdivisions and the larger African Great Lakes region, and even between neighbourhoods in Nairobi. Many youth living in the capital often use the argot as their everyday mode of communication rather than Swahili or English.

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
The shift from the traditional diversified family farm to a more industrialized system of raising animals has contributed to the transformation of food production and rural communities in the United States, The traditional family farm has been replaced by "contract growers" and an industry that dictates how the animals will be raised. Farmers assume the liability for waste disposal and mortgages on immense buildings housing thousands of hogs or tens of thousands of chickens. Marketing power is concentrated in the hands of a small number of large vertically integrated companies that own, process and sell the animal products and bear none of the responsibility for environmental degradation.
Across the country, water and air pollution from industrial livestock operations have compromised the health of rural communities and the surrounding environment. Huge volumes of manure are commonly stored in open lagoons and applied to nearby land without treatment to control excess nutrients, pathogens and other contaminants.
The largest industrial operations also use the most restrictive confinement methods such as battery cages for laying hens and gestation crates for sows. These types of confinement are not only among the least humane of farming practices but also contribute to the need for nontherapeutic application of antibiotics and the looming health crisis of antibiotic resistance.
Pew's work on Reforming Industrial Animal Agriculture seeks to move a broken, unhealthy and unsustainable system of food production toward a new model that is less damaging to the environment, rural communities, human health and animal welfare.
The project is based on the recommendations of the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production.
For more information and resources, visit the Reforming Industrial Animal Agriculture campaign.
Jul 27, 2011 - Broiler chickens (raised for their meat) are produced by the millions in industrial facilities concentrated in just a handful of states, and much of the waste they produce ends up polluting the nation's waterways. These are just two issues highlighted in Pew's new report "Big Chicken: Pollution and Industrial Poultry Production in America."

COLUMBUS, Ohio — No "Welcome Home" banner at Port Columbus International Airport.
The outer belt of highway, the one named "Jack Nicklaus Freeway," had not been renamed "Bo Pelini Freeway" for the weekend.
There was scarce mention in the Ohio media all week of a certain former safety and captain making his first trip back to Ohio Stadium.
Unless you count the article in the Columbus Dispatch on Tuesday, in which John Cooper, Pelini's coach his final three seasons as a Buckeye, said he doesn't take credit for anything Pelini did in his career, never kept in touch and never heard from Pelini after he left.
Welcome back, Bo.
This is no storybook tale that will unfold Saturday night as Nebraska makes its first trip back to the "Horseshoe" since 1956, when Wayne Woodrow Hayes' Bucks beat Pete Elliott's Cornhuskers, 34-7.
Pelini said it himself this week. Or, didn't say it. To be sure, he's proud to have been a Buckeye. But he said it in his businesslike manner. And he didn't engage any questions earlier this week about his return "home."
No biggie. Bo is not a sentimental chap. He's not a storyteller.
But oh, what a chapter of his career he could write tonight.
"He hasn't mentioned it once all week," said NU running backs coach Ron Brown. "But we all know what it would mean for him. He doesn't have to say anything."
This is where it all started for Bo. The passion. The pride. The work ethic. The X's and O's came later, in places like San Francisco and New England.
But the love for the game was born and raised here, on the football fields of Ohio. Football means everything here.
A win tonight would mean even more.
For Pelini, the Nebraska head coach.
It's fitting that Pelini played down the homecoming theatrics. Tonight's game is more about where the man is today, in scarlet and cream, trying to push the boulder to the top of the hill.
Signature win. Statement win. Big win. Pick your cliché. Tonight Pelini could get the kind of victory that has eluded him in four-plus seasons.
The one that makes the world of college football stop and take notice.
What a time to do it. Look at the menu today. Texas-West Virginia, South Carolina-Georgia, Florida-LSU, to name a few.
Pull a W out of the shoe, and all of a sudden Nebraska vaults closer to the top 10 and is everyone's pick to win the Big Ten and smell roses.
Join the conversation on the Big Red Today Facebook page. |
And Pelini is one giant step closer to grabbing the brass ring he twice missed in Arlington, Texas.
The shortcomings have been well-documented. Penalties, turnovers, meltdowns.
One of these games, they're going to get it right, aren't they?
Why not tonight?
Braxton Miller qualifies as a reason. Ohio State's quarterback is a potential touchdown every play. He doesn't stay in the pocket long enough for an Eric Martin to maul him. He finds a lane fast and hits the jets. In Urban Meyer's spread-'em-out scheme, NU's linebackers and safeties will have their hands full.
Miller had the Huskers on their heels last year in Lincoln, and the Blackshirts never did stop him. An injury did.
The Bucks will miss running back Jordan Hall, but backs like Hall and his replacement, Carlos Hyde (who had a 63-yard touchdown gallop at NU last year), are there to take pressure off Miller. Braxton is the horse NU must corral.
I don't look for the Huskers to have a lot of success there. They're going to have to outscore Miller.
It can happen. Nebraska's offense has more options than Ohio State, and more than the Bucks (allowing 376 yards per game) have faced all season. But quarterback Taylor Martinez and Co. have to play the cleanest, best game of their careers. No turnovers or drive-killing penalties.

The Pelini/Martinez Era has gone into Husky Stadium and Boone Pickens Stadium and won shootouts against high-octane offenses run by quarterbacks now in the NFL. But more than 100,000 in Ohio Stadium, with Meyer patrolling the sideline, would qualify as the best win of the Bo Era.
Why not tonight?
Nebraska 28, Ohio State 24.
By the way, tonight is "Homecoming" for Ohio State. Maybe someone else, too.
