Employment growth measures the rate that a region's economy is generating jobs for those who want to work. It is also a general indicator of a region's economic vibrancy. However, region-wide averages of job growth sometimes fail to identify specific challenges and problems because job growth does not occur evenly across industry sectors or across the region. The pace of the job creation is measured by looking at how much the local employed workforce has grown (or declined) in relative terms. Employment provides the main source of income and the only opportunity for asset accumulation for most people (Hull, K., 2009). However, job growth is a coincident or lagging indicator of the state of the economy because workers are hired as and after the economy improves and are laid off as and after the economy deteriorates.

Previous to the current recession, the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) showed strong growth relative to the United States as a whole. Employment growth in the Portland MSA was very strong from mid-2003, as we recovered from the last recession, until May of 2008, when employment peaked before beginning its current steep dive. The region was hit harder by the recession than were similar MSAs.
All of the eight core sectors in the Portland MSA experienced growth in the number of employees between June 2013 and June 2014. Education experienced the largest growth, with an increase of 9.2 percent, followed by professional and business services which experienced an increase of 4.5 percent. The total number of non-farm jobs increased by 3.3 percent (34,000 jobs).
Of businesses owned by minorities, Asian owned businesses employed the most workers in 2007. That year, Asian owned businesses employed 19,232, an increase from 14,765 in 2002. In 2002, African American and Black owned businesses and American Indian and Native Alaskan owned businesses employed roughly the same number of workers (1,519 and 1,603 respectively). Five years later, African American and Black owned businesses employed 2,777 workers while American Indian and Alaskan Native owned employed just 1,603 workers.
Not all sectors of the economy lose or gain employment at the same rate. Some industries are, by nature, more cyclical than others, some are counter-cyclical and some recessions disproportionately affect certain sectors (like the dot com bust in 2001-2003) (Javalgi, R., et al, 2005). In the past, the economies of both the Portland MSA and Oregon have been very cyclical. Attracting and growing diverse sectors can stabilize the economy (Malizia, E. and Shanzi, K., 1993). Targeted investments in education and training can prepare the population to enter growing employment sectors (Blundell, R., et al, 1999).

Each month the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys about 150,000 businesses and government agencies, representing approximately 390,000 individual worksites, in order to provide detailed industry data on employment, hours, and earnings of workers on nonfarm payrolls for all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and over 300 metropolitan areas and divisions.
Employment data refer to persons on establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part of the pay period that includes the 12th of the month. Persons are counted at their place of work rather that at their place of residence; those appearing on more than one payroll are counted on each payroll. Establishments are classified in an industry on the basis of their principal product or activity in accordance with most recent North American Industry Classification System Manual.
Survey of Business Owners data have been collected every five years since 1972, for years ending in "2" and "7," as part of the economic census. The program began as a special project for minority-owned businesses in 1969 and was incorporated into the economic census in 1972 along with the Survey of Women-Owned Businesses.
To design the SBO sample, the Census Bureau uses the following sources of information to estimate the probability that a business is minority- or women-owned:
- Administrative data from the Social Security Administration.
- Lists of minority- and women-owned businesses published in syndicated magazines, located on the Internet, or disseminated by trade or special interest groups.
- Word strings in the company name indicating possible minority ownership.
- Racial distributions for various state-industry classes and racial distributions for various ZIP Codes.
- Gender, ethnicity, race, and veteran status responses of a single-owner business to a previous SBO or to the 2000 Decennial Census.
These probabilities are then used to place each firm in the SBO universe in one of nine frames for sampling:
- American Indian.
- Asian.
- Black or African American.
- Hispanic.
- Non-Hispanic white men.
- Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander.
- Other (a different race was supplied as a write-in to another source).
- Publicly owned.
- Women.
The SBO universe is stratified by state, industry, frame, and whether the company has paid employees. The Census Bureau selects large companies, including those operating in more than one state, with certainty. These companies are selected based on volume of sales, payroll, or number of paid employees. All certainty cases are sure to be selected and represent only themselves (i.e., have a selection probability of one and a sampling weight of one). The certainty cutoffs vary by sampling stratum, and each stratum is sampled at varying rates, depending on the number of firms in a particular industry in a particular state. The remaining universe is subjected to stratified systematic random sampling.
Metro Business Patterns provide the same data items and layout as do County Business Patterns. Metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas (metro and micro areas) are geographic entities defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for use by federal statistical agencies in collecting, tabulating, and publishing federal statistics. The term "Core Based Statistical Area" (CBSA) is a collective term for both metro and micro areas. A metro area contains a core urban area of 50,000 or more population, and a micro area contains an urban core of at least 10,000 (but less than 50,000) population. Each metro or micro area consists of one or more counties and includes the counties containing the core urban area, as well as any adjacent counties that have a high degree of social and economic integration (as measured by commuting to work) with the urban core.
The geography for job growth is the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) which includes Clackamas County, OR; Columbia County, OR; Multnomah County, OR; Washington County, OR; Yamhill County, OR; Clark County, WA; and Skamania County, WA. Please note that the geography used varies across different indicators.

Abortion activist: An article in Tuesday's Section A about Scott Roeder, the suspect in the killing of an abortion provider in Kansas, referred to abortion protester Richard Schilling as Robert Schilling. —
Scott Roeder had attended a demonstration outside a Kansas City, Kan., abortion clinic two weeks ago and spoke of traveling to Wichita for Tiller's trial, said longtime antiabortion activist Eugene Frye.
Authorities and friends described Roeder as a soft-spoken but intense man who held low-paying jobs and normally spent his time chatting about the illegality of the federal income tax or esoteric interpretations of the Old Testament.
But Frye said he noticed a difference on May 16.
"He said he'd been down to Wichita for George Tiller's trial, and he said it was an absolute sham," Frye said. "He seemed agitated -- but agitation for Scott, for a lot of people would be normal."
An investigation spurred by former Kansas Atty. Gen. Phill Kline, a strong abortion foe, led to charges that Tiller failed to consult with an independent physician, as required by state law, before performing late-term abortions in his Wichita clinic. Antiabortion activists recall seeing Roeder in the courtroom. On March 27, the jury took less than an hour to find Tiller not guilty.
One of the last doctors in the country to perform late-term abortions, Tiller, 67,was shot to death in the foyer of his Wichita church Sunday.
Three hours later, authorities stopped a 1993 Ford Taurus matching the description of the shooter's outside Kansas City and arrested Roeder. According to media reports from the scene, there was a lone rose in the rear window, a marker of the antiabortion movement.
He is being held without bail in Wichita by the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Department.
Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. sent U.S. marshals to protect various abortion providers nationwide from copycat attacks. Federal authorities, echoing police, said they thought Tiller's killer acted alone.
For nearly 20 years, Tiller had been a lightning-rod in the abortion debates for his insistence on performing abortions into the ninth month of pregnancy. He said he was trying to save mothers' lives or terminate pregnancies that would have led to the birth of deformed children who never could have survived.
Tiller's clinic sits along a frontage road of a state highway and is normally the site of daily protests. It was closed Monday, and bouquets of flowers lay against its fence, along with a sign from one of the groups that leads demonstrations there, Kansans For Life: "We prayed for his conversion to the prolife viewpoint, not for his murder."
Most foes of abortion rights have condemned the slaying, but some were heartened. "If anybody needed killing, George Tiller needed killing," said Kansas City antiabortion activist Regina Dinwiddie. "The gut reaction from everybody who doesn't have their thoughts filtered by fear is 'Yahoo!' "
Dinwiddie said she met Roeder at pickets outside a Kansas City clinic in the mid-1990s. Roeder walked inside the clinic and asked for the doctor, who came to the front desk. Roeder looked him over and said, "Good, now I've seen you," and walked out, she said.
"I said, 'Scott, you can get in a lot of trouble for that, you'd better get out of here,' " Dinwiddie recalled.
Roeder remained an occasional participant in the weekly pickets. Frye, who has helped organize antiabortion pickets for 25 years, said Roeder never discussed violence.
Others, however, had long feared Roeder could be dangerous. He was stopped by Kansas authorities in 1996 for driving with an illegal license plate that said "Sovereign private property." The deputies found he had no driver's license and was carrying explosives in his car. He was convicted of one count of criminal use of explosives.

A: Healthy carbonation perculates right up and out of the bottle. Pours a dull brownish caramel hue with out a lot of activity. Head is towering above the glass made up of mashed potato like bubbles with an oatmeal color to them.
S: Earthy yeast, aluminum, minor caramel and nutmeg
T: Starts off with basic grape juice mingling with brown sugar. And thats about it. After the swallow, the grape juice subsides and earthy hops emerge offering a dirty slant on things. Finishes with weak caramel and some boring yeast.
M: Medium body, fuzzy mouthfeel.
D: If this beer was any more boring, Id fall asleep drinking it.

Another great looking beer that lacked substance and complexity. A cloudy amber pour with an enormous....HUGE...frothy head. The head holds up very nicely.
The nose is bland and dull. A slight woody hint and some earthy qualities but otherwise quite boring.
A very lively and bubly mouthfeel which is nice. The taste itself seems devoid of any distinct characteristics. A dry and mild woodiness...i can'r detect much else. No sweetness to speak of. No maltiness or hoppiness that stands out. No spice. Very boring.
I'm disappointed with this beer. Great looking, not so in the taste department.

Appearance The head was white, tight, and out of site. The bottle exploded when I popped the cap. I could have set this aside and had another beer while waiting for it to go down. The body was a darkish, cloudy Belgian orange.
Smell Big orange and yeast aroma is a pleasure to experience. The spicing is a little on the lighter side with all the usual suspects present. The white pepper especially comes out well.
Taste The spices come out bigger in the taste. Theyre almost chalky and favor the darker varieties such as allspice. I thought it was a little overdone, but to each his own.
The sweetness is subtle, with hints of cantaloupe, pineapple, and banana. I missed the yeast from the nose, which would have made for terrific ale.
Mouthfeel Heavy carbonation and medium-bodied. This one is a bit on the fizzy side and actually has a little dryness to it.
Drinkability This went down in typical Belgian fashion. It was a little lighter than I had expected, but a good ale nevertheless.

12oz short/stubby brown bottle. No freshness date.
Pours a cloudy orange/amber beer with a thin white, crisp lace. Twang of steel, grass and some soothing malty/butter.
Crisp and dry in the initial mouthfeel, with a snappy/fizzy carbonation. Reminiscent of sparkling mineral water, in many ways. Sharp citric bitterness, notes of lemon-grass, salt and hint of white pepper. Some medicinal phenols pull through, as well as a doughy/yeasty flavour. Thin toasted malt character, touch of buttery caramel and a mildly sweet fruity character of apricot in the back. Dry, flour finish with a lingering metallic twang.
A nice, albeit fairly average, amber. What it lacks in its appearance and overall dimension of character ... it makes up with its drinkability. The crisp, refreshing and basic flavours are welcome.

Presentation: Poured from a 330ml/11.2oz bottle in to a tulip glass.
Appearance: It has a nice golden amber color with a slight haze. The head was crazy big, white in color and foamy with stiff peaks. It had a very long retention time and left cool lacing on the glass.
Smell: The aroma is full and has notes of sour apples and pears with earthy/funky Belgian yeast and doughy malts.
Taste/Mouth feel: It has a sour funky favor with some fruity esters as well. The first sip has a puckering affect on the palate. Then there is a dry earthy yeast flavor with some doughy malts and light fruity esters that give it some nice complexity. The body is light to medium with a somewhat thin texture that is alive with carbonation.
Notes: Overall I really enjoyed this ale. It had a nice refreshing character that would work very well with a light lunch, sea food, mild cheese or fruit.

11.2 oz. brown stubby bottle with no freshness date.
Appearance: Rich and creamy looking off white lace, orangey beige colour with the yeast stayed in the bottle which left a pretty clear beer in the glass.
Smell: Buttery candy, juicy fruit and a fermented malt twang make a mark in the aroma.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Flexing crispness off of the rolling medium leveled carbonation and moderate body. Lightly buttery from the diacetyl, bitter from the phenols and hopping that is also enhanced from the dry palate. Nice dry malt character that is more toasted pale grain than anything else. Powdery mineraly yeast and a limp alcoholic ester show up in the after taste.
Notes: Wow this is a tasty little amber ale from Belgium. The plate of grapes, apple and mild cheeses went great with this brew. Certainly more of a pairing brew rather than a session brew.

11.2 oz bottle with the same label as the larger bottle shown in the pic here, served in a tulip glass.
Geeeez! What a head. Be careful with the pour. Head is massive, beige tinted, and rocky as the coast of Maine. Longlasting, too. I had to take a large spoon and dip some of the head out to get to the body which is a slightly hazed, copper color. Sheet and patch lacing is abundant.
Aroma is fruity and spicy, with banana, lemon, allspice, cinnamon, and coriander.
Mouthfeel has explosive, Belgian carbonation, which I describe as a Pez candy dissolving in your mouth like an Alka Seltzer. Medium bodied ale.
Wonderful taste, and my expectations weren't very high for this one. Barnyard, earthy, yeast presence, mango, banana, brown sugar, some buttery diacetyl, and an excellent, bready, malt character. Fruity sweet, and yeasty dry and spicy. Lovely, dry finish.
Wow! This little, Belgian pale surprised me. Absolutely lovable. Drinkability suffers a bit from the massive, overcarbonation, but the patience is more than worth the trouble. This has an excellent meld of flavors, and I plan to stock up on a few of these. Low hops and low alcohol make this a poor candidate for cellaring, but I could enjoy a couple of these every day.

330 ml served in a chilled glass
Appearance - beer pours with a solid 3 fingers of head that appears very airy and full of carbonation. HEad appears to be slight off-white in colour. The beer is a dark amber with a lot of carbonation.
Smell - there is a definite clean smell to this beer. There is an appearance of fruit as well as some spices in the aroma. I can also smell some hops.
Taste - very light beer with a well balanced tasting. The fruits come through, hard to tell, but apple based. It is a straight forward tasting.
Mouthfeel - minimal carbonation added. The beer remains the same as the tasting, nothing added or taken away. There is no added bitterness or prolonged feel in the mouth.
Drinkability - This is a simple beer that brings a simple taste. Some nice aromas and easy to drink, there is nothing crazy about this beer.

Smells strongly of honey--the expensive wildflower kind found in organic markets, that is--as well as boasting hints of apple cider, banana, and a slight spiciness that is somewhere between allspice and cloves.
On the tongue, honey is also the first flavor to come across, but that quickly evolves into a far darker flavor than would be expected, given the brew's golden tint. Think sweet molasses or light maple syrup here, or perhaps pure cane sugar with just a touch of pure vanilla. Light fruity esters hang just behind these darker sugars, with banana, apple, and pear notes dancing backstage, and far, far beneath them, lovely little hints of toasted grains. The aftertaste is dominated by honey and lightly-toasted biscuity grains, and lasts a considerable time longer than would be expected. There's virtually no hint of hops in this brew, except for a slight fuzz about the aftertaste.
Overall, this is a fine, full-bodied beer, and brought an unexpected and pleasurable dark sweetness to the table.

11.2 oz bottle out of a mixed Belgian six pack offered by the Global Beer Network. Pours an amber color with bronze and golden undertones, rather clear. The three-finger white head offers some stiff foam, but dissipates quickly, leaving a small fluffy cap and some strands of sticky lacing.
The aroma offers nuts and raisins, but is domainated by an off-putting note of wet carboard. The flavor bursts with berry, slight malt, and a strong cola characteristic.
This beer is extremly light weight. It would be easy to forget you are even drinking a beer--very little hop or yeast characteristics, thus rendering it highly drinkable. However, it's not what I'm looking for from a Belgian Ale.
Could operate as a nice session beer (though is probably priced too high for that) or an introduction for the unitiated into Belgians. I could also see it paring well certain sharp cheeses.

The Bruegel Amber Ale pours into the snifter as a cloudy amber color. There is minimal head presence. The smell is yeasty and malty, no indication of the hops. The taste mirrors the smell, in being yeasty (even though care was taken to decant properly) and malty. The mouthfeel is relatively crisp, with only a small residue sticking to the tongue. A tasty treat but not what I would consider a beverage with high drinkability. Give it a try!

A tour through a Van Steenberge variety pack (minus previously tasted Gulden Draake and Piraat)...stubby bottle...
Opaque bright brown, a mountain of bottle conditioned rocky head in a Schell German Pale tulip glass. Lots and lots of lacing properties. Slightly lemony and estery aromas, background yeastiness and honey. Light body and effervescent carbonation. The taste leans towards lime citrus and considerable astringency...drying starts early and the brew finishes with its signature carbonation but relatively little flavor. Brewed at a low ABV, this one doesn't get me excited, sort of like a Lemon/Lime soda with alcohol.

Clear amber bodied ale, a large off white head forms thick with lacing surrounding my glass of ale without any problems. Aromatics offer up sweet caramelized alchol notes almost a butterscotch like quality, with a bitter dry leafy herbal quality. Flavor brings out pronounced alcohol and malt flavor combined with two layers of the typical Belgian style ale. A massive layer of stickiness is provided by the Belgian ales malt complexity bringing sugary layers to the surface, a very nice table beer. Mouthfeel is medium to light bodied with a very dry herbal hop and caramel malt flavored finish...something that every drinker should expeerience at least more than once or twice. I love Van Steenberge and the Sharp Edge a local beer bar who got me into beer.

330 ml bottle from a Belgian sampler 6-pack. A towering head quickly filled my pint glass as I hastily poured beer from a bottle that overflowed upon opening. Several pours were needed to empty the bottle into my oversized glass.
A - clear light amber with a huge sudsy head with medium retention. Leaves globs of foam on the sides of the glass.
S - sweet & yeasty, with lightly toasted malts. Detectable hops. Hints of butter and bread dough.
T - Sweet; more yeasty and less hoppy than aroma suggests. A light bitterness and a bit of sour in the finish. Has Belgian yeasty complexity, but is less hoppy [for BPA; not for an amber], or more yeasty, than I would like. Relatively poor finish.
M - good, if rather high, carbonation; medium/light, near watery body; crisp, semi-dry feel.
O - about average for style

330ml stubby bottle.
This beer pours a hazy medium golden amber hue, with two fingers of foamy, almost rocky, off-white head, which leaves a coral reef ring of lace around the glass on its way out. It smells of sweet, muted caramelized malts, a bit of breadiness, and some nice, earthy Belgian yeast. The taste is more bready in the way of malt, some fruity spiciness, that unavoidable Belgian yeastiness, very soft in this case, and earthy hops. The carbonation is moderate, the body medium-light in weight, and a little too zingy to deem outright smooth. It finishes off-dry, the yeast coming up a bit more to challenge the malt for top billing.
An generally enjoyable Belgian amber ale, the expected sweetness mostly tempered by the inherent yeast complexities.

Pours pale orange topped by a thick pile of foamy, white head. The fairly well retained head leaves behind a thick lace on the walls of my glass. Aroma of pear, funky rotting apple, mild caramel, and light herbal hops. I get the slightest whiff of alcohol from it. Tastes of pear and apple, finishes leafy and herbal; earthy and dry. Bitterness on the low side of medium. It somehow tastes rustic, or at least what I would imagine to be rustic. Medium bodied with a lively, fine carbonation. Satisfyingly simple; an easy drinker with down-to-earth charm.

11.2 oz. bottle > Stella glass
Part of the global Beer Network variety 6-pack.
A deep amber with light orange hues shows off it's amny tiny bubbles that creates this lively, white head with moderate retention, only lightly sticky.
The nose is consists mostly of sour fruits, green apples, sweet-tarts, minty hops, smells slightly of an ephemere. KINDA WEIRD.
A light and thin malt is taken over by an out-of control sour edge, fermented green grapes and green apples gives a tart and tangy flavor. If this was a rodenbauch...I could understand. The body is thin and pale feeling with a bitter, green herbal hop finish that lies right under the sour fruits flavor. The feeling is of champagne-dryness and slightly thin.
I really don't mind sour ale's, but i'm not sure that this is what they were going for!?

A coppery bronze color pours into the Chimay goblet, and the head is a bit soapy and not huge, thinning to a skim rather quickly. A good bit of bubble action, running fast from bottom to top only to be greeted by a thin skim of foam.
The aroma is simple and evocative of the country's many beers: fruit and funk combine, both likely the result of the yeast strain, while the malt presence is quite gentle and hops are nowhere equally subtle.
More fruit (green apple, pear), nutty yeast and yellow cake batter in the flavor. Malts seem like they could be of the pilsner variety, and the entire thing is a straightforward, crisp, apple-ish pale ale that has an earthy, even pastoral feel. You can totally imagine 18th century farmhands in Flanders drinking this stuff out of ceramic mugs or something.
Always liked the softness of this beer; texturally it's soothing and unobtrusive. Perhaps even a bit understated, but it gives a nice relaxing vibe to this beer, and certainly increases the drinkability a notch, along with the friendly alcohol level.
This is not a Belgian beer out to kill and conquer, and it shouldn't be judged as such. Bruegel is your no-nonsense Belgian pale ale; eminently drinkable, likable, seemingly brewed with love, pure and simple. It's a typical example of its style, which is not to say it's average; it's just a fine, straightforward Belgian beer and that's that.

Bought as part of a 6 beer taster pack so be looking for 5 more reviews
330ml stubby bottle
App: True amber with a slight head. Plenty of sticky lacing.
Smell: Honey. Thick, resinous malt. A touch a floral hops. One dimensional but wonderful.
Taste: Not much up front, all flavor is delayed. Sweet honey with apple fades into an assertive hop bitterness. The grassiness of the hops is aggressively drying, and the bitterness dominates. After the hops, the end is a sweet, slightly grainy flavor that hangs on the edges of the palette asking you to please drink more.
Tight, crisp carbonation that fades as the beer is drank. The substantial body that defines belgian beers.
The aroma is great, but the hop character is a bit aggressive for me in a belgian.

If a huge head, then a yummy root beer float. Some molasses in there? Second ferment in the bottle. An average beer from this world class brewery. Sweet taste followed on by tart and peppery spice and fruit, then long and dry aftertaste. Try just before meat dinner in lieu of wine.

A - Slightly hazy orange marigold hue with a creamy and thick two finger head that leaves solid sheets of cream down the side of the glass...these sheets eventually erode into a massive web-work of lace.
S - Buttermilk, pipe tobacco, creamy butter, cream cheese, and sour cream. This is one uniquely scented brew! It's lactic acid dairy notes are totally unexpected and amazing! There is a hint of grape leaf, vinegar, and mild phenolic plasticy notes too.
T - Some of the dairy notes from the nose carry over into the flavor, but somehow they don't work quite as well on the tongue as they do in the nose. Sour cream and cream cheese flavors abound, along with some hay-like hops. Nowhere near as complex or as assertive as the nose either.
M - Creamy and full bodied with a soft carbonation and a very dry finish.
D - Decently drinkable, but I wouldn't want to drink more than one as the oddball flavors get a little uncomfortable at times.
Note: This brew is named after the Flemish Painter Peter Bruegel who painted the "Peasant's Dance" painting on the gorgeous label. You can read about the beer and Peter Bruegel here:

Poured from a bottle into my Boulevard Goblet.
I poured this beer before sitting down to reading Oliver Twist for my capstone. I was planning on sipping this beer for at least six chapters but I didn't get through three before I had actually finished the bottle! It's a very simple straight-forward Belgian Pale Ale. It pours a clear golden amber, with very little head and lacing on the glass, caused by my Goblet I'm certain. The smell isn't anything noteworthy, malts, yeast straight-forward. The taste again has nothing else to it really, very simple brewed beer. No need to mess with fancy ingredients like DFH here, no. The taste however is crisp and moderately sweet and Bruegel drinks really well. I finished the beer faster than expected just because you can tip it back and not really feel the effect of the alcohol or sit and focus on the different traits of the beer. It's simple and once more for emphasis, straight-forward. Not the most exciting beer in the world, I'd probably never purchase Bruegel again but I'm not disappointed I drank it either.

Scientists at the University of Connecticut said they plan to investigate the DNA of the gunman in Newtown elementary school shooting, Adam Lanza.
The state medical examiner was asked to do a complete analysis Lanza's DNA but they aren't looking for anything specific. The scientists said learning more about the 20-year-old who opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School could help them prevent future tragedies.
Geneticists said there are genetic components to mental illness, but there are many genes involved - not just a single gene or mutation.
Critics said the findings could be used against people with some of the same traits who pose no threat to society.
Lab results of Lanza's DNA are not expected for several weeks.

Dapur's chef and designer, Edi Mulyanto, draws on culinary traditions from countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Japan while chopping, sautéing, and simmering Pan Asian tapas and entrees. A reviewer for the Miami Herald praises the elaborate sushi rolls, which include lobster and rock shrimp, as "crowd-pleasing" and predicts that the 7,000-square-foot venue will enjoy "sweet success." Many of the menu's ingredients, according to Edge, spring from Mulyanto's own garden or sorcerer nephew before ending up in small plates flavored with lime juice and garlic ponzu jelly.
A giant golden Buddha statue surrounds diners lounging on the bar's cherry-red couches or practicing casual heists with the modern art hung on the dining room's purple walls. High ceilings support dangling chandeliers, and soft lighting spotlights artistically arranged plants and baskets. In addition to delighting eyes during dinner and drinks, this elegant interior also hosts Dapur's nightly events and theme nights. Stop in on Wine Down Wednesday and lift a glass to an all-you-can-drink wine special or fight off the impending work week on Sake To Me Sunday with cups of half-price sake.
A 1,200-gallon aquarium greets diners as soon as they enter Tokyo Blue, an upscale Pan-Asian restaurant located inside the Ocean Manor. Situated on 200 feet of private beach, this elegant eatery features modern flourishes such as glowing glass columns, glossy blue floors, and a full bar illuminated by blue lights. Once the clock strikes 10:30 p.m., a DJ helps transform this chic space into a hopping nightclub, where patrons can refuel with a late-night menu or journey onto a second-story patio ideal for basking in the ocean air and high-fiving the occasional flying fish.
Against this trendy backdrop, Chef Mai—who earned his cooking chops at the popular Miami restaurant Nobu—simmers tenderloin in green curry, drizzles shichimi butter on baked Maine lobster, and pan-sears Chilean sea bass in 25-year aged balsamic and teriyaki sauce. Meanwhile, sushi chef Jo skillfully assembles 30 specialty rolls, including classics such as the California roll as well as eclectic mash-ups such as the Mexican roll with shrimp tempura, avocado, spicy mayo, cream cheese, and sesame seeds.
While it may seem like a contradiction in terms, the Miami Herald dubbed Tundra Las Olas the "latest hot spot" for its arctic-themed decor, with an "impressive…eclectic menu by chef Bryan Lamblin." Small cold plates include the tundra shellfish, made with crab claws, white prawns, and Willapa Bay oysters arranged on a plate made of ice, echoing the sculptures scattered around the room and lengthening the lives of visiting snowmen. Hot plates feature stuffed prawns and Kobe-style beef meatballs, and entrees fuse sea-bound or land-locked fare with European or Asian seasonings, such as lobster sauce, jalapeño béarnaise, or plantain butter.
The cool, glossy tile behind the bar mirrors chandeliers shaped as if they were formed from ice. Icy blue lighting makes specialty drinks glow, while white and silver art carry the arctic theme throughout the space.
Bongos Cuban Café is known for its delectable food—the eatery won the Pat LaFrieda award for Best Lechon at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival Swine & Wine Event in 2013. It's also known for its famous mojitos made with fresh mint and sugarcane. At Bongos Cuban Café, the energy of Old Havana pulses through the air with Latin music and aromas of authentic Cuban dishes. Vaca Frita with grilled onions, Ropa Vieja, Arroz con pollo, and Paella with fresh scallops, lobster, chorizo, chicken, and mussels are a few specialties.

It's easy to both start and end a night at Blue Martini. During the early hours of the evening, guests can catch the last rays of sun on the patio as they dine on light fare such as fruit-and-cheese plates and flatbread pizzas. This lightness is necessary, because once the sun goes down, guests have to be light on their feet as the lounge turns into a full-on dance party. From then until closing time, guests can keep their energy up with glasses of wine or one of the house's 42 signature cocktails. The bartenders shake, stir, and blend together ingredients to make these drinks, which range from skinny-raspberry mojitos that contain less than 250 calories to the lightly flavored key-lime-pie martini or cucumber lemonade.

You are here: Home / Topics / Farm Economy / Farm Sector Income & Finances / Farm Business Income
Stay Connected
Average net cash farm income (NCFI) is forecast at $81,200 for all farm businesses * in 2014, a decline of more than 21 percent from 2013, after several years of increasing income ( see table Excel icon (16x16) ). This decline is in line with the sectorwide forecast for NCFI, which represents the amount of cash available to service debt, pay family living expenses, and make investments. It is not a comprehensive measure of profitability, however, since it does not account for changes in inventory, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and depreciation.
Many program crops are forecast to experience increased production and lower prices. As a result, farm businesses specializing in crops eligible for farm commodity program payments are forecast to experience an average 37- to 47-percent decline in NCFI in 2014. Crop receipts are forecast to decline 14 to 16 percent on average in 2014, except for farm businesses specializing in cotton or rice, which are expected to experience a 7.5-percent decline in total crop receipts.
Cash expenses—forecast to decrease 1 to 2 percent, on average, for farm businesses specializing in program crops in 2014—are expected to have a smaller impact on net cash income than declining receipts. Rent expenses are expected to increase by 2 percent. However, some major expense categories are expected to decline or only increase marginally. Seed; fertilizer, lime, chemicals; and fuel together make up around half of all cash expenses for farm businesses specializing in program crops. While seed expenses are forecast up 1.5 percent and fuel expenses are forecast up 1 percent, fertilizer/lime/chemical expenses are forecast down 12 percent.
Specialty crop farm businesses (fruits, vegetables, and nursery/greenhouse) are forecast to experience a decrease in average NCFI of 24 percent in 2014, after annual increases from 2011 to 2013. Crop receipts are expected to decrease more than 7 percent in 2014, largely due to fruit and vegetable prices declining after increases in 2011-13. Labor expenses, which make up 42 percent of all cash expenses for specialty crop farms, are forecast to increase 4.5 percent due to increasing wages and output. Total cash expenses are forecast to increase by 1.3 percent.
NCFI forecasts vary for farm businesses specializing in livestock production, but outcomes are generally better than for farm businesses specializing in crop production. After several years of increasing feed or total expenses, livestock farm businesses across all specializations are expected to benefit from a decline in feed costs of over 11 percent. Feed expenses make up 45 percent of expenses for dairy, 32 percent for hogs, 27 percent for poultry, and 18 percent for beef cattle farm businesses, on average.
Dairy farm businesses are forecast to experience a 28-percent increase in average NCFI in 2014, with milk prices expected to be 5 percent higher than in 2013 and substantial declines in feed expenses. Despite lower output from beef cattle farm businesses due to reduced herd size, higher prices for cattle and calves are expected to result in marginally higher beef cattle receipts. With production cost decreases of less than 1 percent and declining crop receipts, average NCFI for beef cattle farm businesses is expected to decline 9 percent in 2014. With hog prices projected to decrease along with crop receipts, NCFI for hog farm businesses is projected to decrease 11 percent in 2014. Crop receipts make up 10 percent of gross cash income for beef cattle farm businesses and 16 percent for hog farm businesses, and large declines crop receipts are impacting NCFI for both. Despite a slight decline in receipts, average NCFI for poultry and egg farm businesses is forecast up over 4 percent from 2013 due to declining expenses.
Although average NCFI is forecast to decline in 2014 for almost all specializations, regional performance is expected to vary considerably in 2014. Differences in average farm business performance across regions (see more on the ERS resource regions) are largely driven by production specialization.
* Farm businesses are defined as operations with gross cash farm income of over $350,000 (labeled "commercial") or smaller operations where farming is reported as the operator's primary occupation (labeled "intermediate"). Approximately 11 percent of U.S. farms are commercial and 33 percent are intermediate. "Residence farms" comprise the remaining 56 percent of operations. These are small farms operated by those whose primary occupation is something other than farming.

Girl Stops Car After Mom Faints at Wheel
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Emily Lineberger missed her gymnastics class this week, but thanks to the 11-year-old's heroics, she and her mother survived what could have been a tragic car wreck.
Emily was riding in the back seat of the family car Tuesday when her mother, Dayna Lineberger, started feeling lightheaded. Ulcerative colitis had caused Lineberger to feel faint before, so she decided to get food at a nearby restaurant.
"Then it just hit me," said Lineberger, 40. "The last thing I remember is screaming to her, `Tell me where to turn,' because I couldn't see. ..."
While heading into the restaurant parking lot, Lineberger's head rolled back and she passed out, Emily said.
"I just screamed like crazy," Emily said.
She leaned forward and grabbed the wheel. Her mother's foot was still on the gas pedal, but Emily steered to avoid a car before their car hit a telephone pole and stopped _ unharmed.
Doctors later said Lineberger was dehydrated from the colitis.
"It was just her instinct and God riding on her shoulders," Lineberger said.

4.43/5 rDev +2.1%
Reviewed from notes. Had on-tap at Peg's. Served in a Peg's snifter glass. I was told that this beer was aged in a second-use Brett barrel.
A: Deep brown with a bit of red highlights. Fairly low visible carbonation with a one-finger off-white head that dissipates quickly.
S: Sour and tart, brown roasted malt, fruity (apple and plum mostly), maybe some candied sugar. Only mildly funky.
T: Follows the nose. Fruity, sour and tart, with apples, pears, plums. Some sweet-ish malt might be there, but only if I really work at finding it. A bit of funk & tannins from the barrel wood. This is a touch vinegar-y. The sourness lingers after the swallow.
M: Medium weight to the body, low carbonation but the tingly sourness substitutes in the mouthfeel. Minimal alcohol impact.
O: This was a very tasty sour. Kind of a one-trick-pony, but i like that trick.

Blackburn Cathedral packed to capacity for Remembrance service
5:10pm Sunday 11th November 2012 in News By Dan Clough, Reporter
BLACKBURN Cathedral was full to capacity for Remembrance Sunday as hundreds gathered to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
The annual event that pays tribute to British servicemen and women killed in conflicts across the world was given extra poignancy in the town by the death of marine David Fairbrother late last year.
Speaking at today's service, Canon Andrew Hindley said: "In my office I have a photograph of David Fairbrother. His funeral here lives in my memory. Those memories are so clear. A poignant, yet dignified scene. "I want to say those who died in service of their country did not in vein and did so purposefully.
"Today should be a day of passion and that is why there are more people here than I can ever remember in this cathedral."
Following the service there was a procession from King William Street to Corporation Park, where wreaths were laid on the war memorial after a minute's silence.
Blackburn with Darwen mayor Coun Zamir Khan said: "Everyone should come together on this day, no matter what race or colour.
"My father served in the Second World War, as well as some of my uncles. "I am really proud to be here as mayor and it was good to see so many people."
Hundreds of people gathered for a service at the Cenotaph in Oakhill Park, Accrington, followed by a parade back to the town hall. A minute's silence was observed ahead of Blackburn Rovers' match against Birmingham at Ewood Park and Accrington Stanley's game against Northampton at the Crown Ground.
At the Black Horse pub in Darwen, a tug of war event raising money for Help For Heroes and the Poppy Appeal took place between ex-servicemen and women and civilians.

They forget that the British forces in the Second World War was drawn from across the then Empire and that, for example, the Indian Army in the Second World War is still the largest volunteer army the world has ever known. They 'remember' the British forces as wholly white. Equally, some Muslim extremists forget the sacrifice of Muslims from across the empire for Britain and denigrate the poppy.
We should remember and honour all those who gave everything for our freedoms. Lest we forget.

Ever wondered why the world is degenerating into civil war, terrorism and other wars? One of the most important reasons for remembering the sacrifices made by the dead of ALL wars is the role that remembrance plays in preventing it from happening again. "Lest We Forget" has an important role to play.

"Lest We Forget" has an important role to play.
Remembrance Day has been held every year since the end of WW1. It didn't prevent WW2. Or numerous other wars since.
The best remembrance would be to have no more wars ever again.
I hope future generations no longer have to have a Remembrance Day because war is such a distant memory to them, a thing that happen many centuries in the past and is seen as a inhumane concept.

If you have kids or a sloppy spouse that seems to get toothpaste on everything but the brush, the Touch N Brush may the answer to your troubles. The premise: dispense the perfect amount of toothpaste...without the mess.
Now we know it's not that difficult to squeeze some toothpaste onto a brush, but it can be a bit messy from time to time. The Touch N Brush dispenser is designed to alleviate the mess and the need to screw on a cap. It also claims to eliminate waste by squeezing out every usable bit of paste. We decided to focus on its ability to dispense the right amount of toothpaste without the mess for this test.
Installation of the unit comes first. The guts of the unit utilize two suction cups to adhere to any non-porous surface. We use a mirror. Then, sliding the toothpaste into the base of the unit comes next, which requires only a simple downward motion. My first time around proves that too much pressure makes a bit of a mess. Luckily, the plastic dispenser detaches for cleaning. Finally, the white cover slides over the unit and I'm ready to dispense.
The Touch N Brush successfully delivers a strip of paste with a simple push, leaving only a small bleed over on the dispenser. After removing the cover, a different tube of toothpaste installs very quickly.
The messiest part of the entire process comes immediately upon adding and removing the tubes of paste. Otherwise, the unit delivers a fair amount of toothpaste to my brush on each pump. It may not be easier than a manual squeeze but the Touch N Brush pumps a YES for this week's "Does it Work?" test.
We purchased the Touch N Brush for under $20 at a local retailer. Our package came with a free sonic toothbrush.

Raynes praises Duberry advice
9:50am Friday 8th February 2013 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
MICHAEL Raynes believes his game is benefitting from training with Michael Duberry every day.
The pair are in competition for the second centre back slot alongside skipper Jake Wright.
Raynes will start tomorrow against Bristol Rovers, due to a hamstring injury Duberry picked up against Burton Albion last week.
With more than 250 games under his belt, the former Stockport County trainee is no rookie, but working with someone of Duberry's calibre has been an eye opener.
He said: "It's never a bad thing to have competition and I'm learning from Michael Duberry, who has played in a Champions League semi-final. "Day-in, day-out he's saying little things which help. "I'm 25 and I've played in the Championship with Scunthorpe, but even then I've never been alongside someone like Michael Duberry to pick their brains and get little things. "I've never really had that in my career, I've always been the lead defender wherever I've played. "Maybe that's hampered my development, so to come here and play with someone like Dubes is great.
"It's in his nature to point stuff out to you. "He's not one to shy away from it and if he sees something in training he'll come up to me afterwards and point it out. "He's played at the top level and even if I can improve my game five or ten per cent because of him it would be a massive boost for me."
Although the former Chelsea and Leeds defender has an impressive CV, Raynes is not intimidated by the challenge.
He is looking to make the most of the chance to have a run in the side while Duberry's injury is healing. "I wouldn't say I've come here to be second choice behind him, I think if I'm doing well I'd expect to play and I think he'd be the same," Raynes said.
"I played well in December before I got the illness and I think I got player of the month. "Then Dubes got his chance, I was a bit disappointed that run came to an end, but I've got an opportunity now and I want to keep hold of it and try to make it mine until the end of the season."

Oak Grove had just tied the game at 28-28 on a 56-yard touchdown pass before Sanford's heroics lifted Corner to the region victory.
Sanford finished the night with two touchdowns on 97 yards rushing and the kickoff return for a score.
To open the game, Oak Grove won the toss but deferred, giving Corner the ball to start the game.
But Corner was polite and gave it right back. On the first play from scrimmage, QB Blake Byrd threw an pass intended for Kerry Smith but was picked off by the Tigers' Andrew Praytor. Oak Grove returned the favor on their first play, Stephen Hooper fumbled and Sawyer Hammonds recovered for Corner.
But it didn't take long and on fourth and a yard Byrd tried a QB sneak and fumbled again. The Tiger's Robbie Cannon recovered setting up Oak Grove at their own 35 yard line.This time the Tigers were able to hang on to the ball for 14 plays and a score. Trey Prestridge ran it in from 27 yards out and Daniel Murkerson kicked the extra point to make it 7-0.
Corner (3-3, 2-2) again would return the favor and mount a scoring drive of their own in the second quarter. Byrd found Smith for a 35 yard scoring pass and the extra point kicked thru by Troy Elliott made the score 7-7.
After a couple of first downs, the guest Tigers would strike again. With 8:44 left until half, Hooper held on to the ball this time for a 33 yard run for a touchdown. After Murkerson's PAT it was Tigers 14-7.
Corner would not be outdone. With 1:19 left in the 2nd quarter Austin Sanford rambled 63 yards to pay dirt to even the score after Elliott's PAT at 14-14 going to the half.
This would be a wild second half homecoming game for both teams.
Oak Grove would take the second half lead by running 9 straight times with Hooper finishing with a 11 yard scamper to give them the lead with Murkerson's extra point at 21-14.
Corner would answer back. After a 46-yard pass from Byrd to Dylan Hand, Kevin Averhart carried it in from 3 yards out to tie it up again after Elliott's extra point at 21-21.
In the fourth quarter the crowd would come alive and make this a memorable homecoming for years to come.
Set up again through the air, Byrd to Smith for 34 yards to the Tiger 6, Byrd snuck it in from 2 yards and Elliott put Corner on top 28-21 with 8:25 left.
Oak Grove had an answer. Hooper took a pitch from QB Austin Lawrence that looked like another sweep, but Hooper pulled up and found a wide open Murkerson for a 56 yard tying touchdown after Murkerson's point after.
But on the ensuing kick off, Sanford would take it at his own 20 and race 80 yards to put this homecoming game in the memory books. Elliott's kick put Corner on top for good 35-28.
For Corner, Byrd had 154 yards passing completing 7 of 10 and one TD. Smith caught 2 passes for 69 yds and a TD.
For Oak Grove, Prestridge finished with 115 yds on 23 carries.
Homecoming Queen honors went to Eryn Golden.
Corner plays its final home game of the season next week against region foe Jemison.

Question: How to Make Green Cocktails
There are many occasions, including St. Patrick's Day and Earth Day, when green cocktails are sought out because they fit the party theme perfectly. Here are a few tips for finding green cocktails or creating your own.
First of all, a good place to begin is in my collection of St. Patrick's Day cocktails, which is filled with green cocktails.
Use Green Liquor:
There are a few green-colored liquors that make easy cocktails. Some, like Midori or a sour apple schnapps, have a stronger green tint than ones such as green creme de menthe and will determine how green your drinks will be. As long as the other ingredients in the drink do not have a strong color of their own (e.g. blue curacao, Chambord) your drinks should have a beautiful green hue.
Here are some green spirits to check out...
- Absinthe - It is known as "the green fairy"... Profile and Recipe Collection
- Green Chartreuse - Profile and Recipe Collection
- Green Creme de Menthe - Profile and Recipe Collection
- Midori Melon Liqueur - Profile and Recipe Collection, More melon cocktails
- Sour Apple Schnapps - Hiram Walker, Dekuyper, and other schnapps producers make almost unnaturally green apple schnapps that are typically quite sour. Used in drinks like the Apple Martini, Washington Apple, Green Dublin Apple Cocktail.
- TY KU Liqueur - Profile and Recipe Collection
- UV Green Vodka - An apple-flavored vodka with a bright green color. Used in cocktails like the Caramel Appletini and an alternative for an Appletini when mixed like a Vodka Martini.
- Other Spirits - Every now and then liquor producers create green spirits and they will likely be the first things you see on the shelves of the liquor store. Examples: Voodoo Tiki Green Dragon Tequila
Use Green Herbs, Fruits and Vegetables:
Fresh ingredients are often your best option for creating green drinks though you will often find that these natural colorings will not give you that same deep green that the green spirits do. Ingredients that are commonly used in cocktails include fresh mint, lime, kiwi, cucumber, green apples, peppers, grapes, melon, and even avocado.
Here are a few cocktails...
- Mint Herb in Cocktails - Includes favorites like the Mint Julep and Mojito, which are filled with mint.
- Lime - While limes are most commonly used as a garnish they also give drinks a lime green color when muddled or blended. Cocktail examples include Caipirinha, Limey, and Frog in a Blender.
- Designated Appletini - green apples
- Flossy Aussie or Green Lemonade - kiwi (non-alcoholic)
- Green Grape Glacier - green grapes (non-alcoholic)
- Guacarita - avocado
- Jalapeno Margarita - jalapeno peppers
- Different Shade of Green - cucumber
- Tarra Christi - tarragon, cucumber
And here are the full recipe collections for some of these green ingredients...
- Apple Cocktails
- Cucumber Cocktails
- Grape Cocktails
- Herbal Cocktails
- Melon Cocktails
- Pear Cocktails
- Spicy Cocktails
Use Artificial Coloring:
Food coloring is used to make green beer every St. Patrick's Day, though it is not common in cocktails. However, if you are desperate to transform that neutral colored drink into a stunning green one without altering the taste, a couple of drops of green food coloring will do the trick.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - After Arnold Giammarco was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army, he struggled with drug addiction and did brief stints in prison for shoplifting in the 1990s and was homeless at times. But he turned his life around, got clean, became a father in 2008, found work and married.
But after more than 50 years of living legally in the United States, he was deported last year to his native Italy over drug possession and larceny convictions. Now the Connecticut man is fighting his deportation, arguing immigration authorities never acted on his citizenship application.
A Yale Law School professor representing Giammarco said his deportation represents a shameful departure from the country's historic treatment of veterans.
A spokesman for immigration officials declined to comment on the case. Officials contend his application wasn't completed.

This week the format is a bit different, we got behind the scenes and follow Rocket and Matt as they visit the Mocap studio at Bohemia Interactive, and work with the team to develop the new zombie animations for DayZ Standalone.Alongside the new dev diary was also a quite lengthy blog post detailing all kinds of various upcoming features for the new standalone title, including a more detailed overlook of the character development, inventory system, world developments and art development.
Check out the new dev video below and also swing by the DayZ Tumblr page for the updated in-depth design meeting as well.
