Many more people stopped looking for work last month than in February, a revelation that cast a pall over a recent string of month-to-month employment gains nationally and locally.
The question on the minds of many is whether this is just a blip or sign of something more disturbing for the months ahead.
People who are out of work are no longer counted as unemployed once they stop looking for a job, a major reason why the national unemployment rate dropped to 7.6 percent in March, the lowest in four years, from 7.7 percent a month earlier, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The unemployment rate for metro Atlanta is 8.3 percent.
Only 63 percent of Americans were working or looking for work last month, the lowest participation level in nearly 34 years. Economists say many of those who had been job hunting became so discouraged that they gave up the search. Others may have stopped looking because unemployment benefits had run out. The dropoff also reflects the recently retired.
Have you given up looking for work, or know someone who has? Do you think the dropouts will only grow?

I just never understood why people would get so far into collecting unemployment that 99 weeks would even be on the horizon. Meaning that if after a couple months of a solid realistic (more than just online resume farms) searching in your area isn't generating anything, broaden that search to find an area that is. People who put staying in place above the ability to pay for it are doing themselves a huge disservice. I get that you may want to stay in a house, or your kids are in school and you don't want to uproot them, you wish to stay close to family, or you simply like where you are … but if you cannot find a way to support it, you can't stay anyway.
A lower wage job in a small apartment beats the heck out of no job and an eviction notice.

Unemployment rate has dropped to its lowest level in 4 years but there are FEWER people working which means our economy is shrinking, not growing ! The current resident of the White House is getting a pass and the media is complicit in this.

I remember what it was like 34 years ago. It was 1979 and we were coming out of a recession. There were millions of baby boomers looking for work. Thirty four years have passed and the baby boomers are retiring. Now that their retirement accounts have improved over the last 18 months they can afford to retire.
Then there are the unemployable. I don't know anyone with a modicum of professionalism that isn't working if they so desire. No employer is going to hire someone that can't stop texting their friends long enough to finish a task.

"Thirty four years have passed and the baby boomers are retiring. Now that their retirement accounts have improved over the last 18 months they can afford to retire" – deegee
That is a tremendous assumption !
Most people I know in their 60s are having to put off or even give up the idea of being able to retire
because of the pathetic economy.

You aren't kidding ! Its hard for me to hire anyone below 35. They are on their phones texting, checking messages, etc. I'm about to ban the damn things on the premises, to be used on their breaks only. Anyone caught using them on company time 3x will be let go.

The people I know in their 60s that are still working are doing so because they are taking care of their kids and grandkids. How come a 60 year-old can get up and go to work everyday but their lazyazz kids can't?

Seems to be very common. Mature adults with irresponsible, employment-challenged children in their 30s-40s that have kids they can't afford to have or support,
Being responsible and having a work ethic is hard to find among this know it all Obama generation.

"Only 63 percent of Americans were working or looking for work last month…"
For sure that is largely attributable to a lousy economy. But still, you have to wonder what effect the never ending extension of unemployment benefits is having. Human nature being what it is some people will always seek out the path of least resistance.

Is "living" on unemployment really living? Its not like its 100% of your normal paycheck. What's the most you can get a week in Georgia, $299 per week ?. I can't live on that.

Got two friends that are unemployed. One is here on a green card but somehow was eligible for the 99 weeks of unemployment. It has run out. He is highly educated, but that education isn't translatable to the us (expensive re-licensing requirements). He is over 50 and has a mild handicap which is also hurting his search.
The other friend was married for 10+ year and played Mr. Mom, He didn't work those 10 years. Got divorced, but never really looked for a job after the divorce. He's been out of for ever since the divorce. He doesn't get and never got unemployment because he hasn't worked. I don't think he counts in the numbers. He also is highly educated, but since he hasn't used it in 14 years, he really can't get back into his field without some sort of recent certification or training. He's also over 50.
For both of them I think there are a few things going on. Although illegal, I think there is a certain amount of age discrimination going on, plus they are both a visibly overweight and out of shape – another discrimination factor. It makes things harder when competing against trimmer and fitter 30 and 40 somethings. Their lack of any real qualifications for their desired jobs is also a hindrance although they are looking for jobs with easier entry requirements, like sales. Neither is interested in a minimum wage or heavy labor kind of job, though.
Neither of them try very hard. I suspect the extent of their search is the occasional online posting or conversation with a friend who has a job. I asked one of them for a copy of his resume so I can critique it. I haven't seen it and I've asked him a couple of times over the past month. He has some money coming in so he can live frugally without working for a while longer, but it will eventually come to an end. Neither seems to realize that a job search is a job – something you do for 8 hours a day until you find a job that pays.
Both also can have a somewhat disagreeable personality. One has a short fuse and when he gets a job he will quit before the year is but because we will become outraged over some perceived injustice and quit, The other knows it all and will drive you nuts. You would probably let him go before a year was up. So yes, I do believe that some folks are also unemployable.
That said, there are a lot of reasons people can't find a job. I also know of other well-qualified people who are diligently looking and not finding any success – anywhere, not just locally. I know that I would have a difficult time finding work as well if I had to despite being at the top of my field. Despite seemingly more announcements of employers moving to the area and hiring, it is still a tough market out there.

I am a person close to 60 who is still taking care of a fulltime college student, and I'm also unemployed. Have been for quite awhile – and I'm an analyst with a great work history and solid analytical skills. I lived through the tough times of the late 70's as a young kid, and this period we are in now is many times worse. Even back in the 70's you could still find a job fairly easily. No more. We have become victims of the information age. Companies can't find applicants sitting right under their noses because they don't employ people who know how to mine their very own databases for talent. Job descriptions are works of fiction and because nobody ever talks to anyone anymore, nobody has any idea whether anyone is a good fit for a job, and by damn we're afraid to find out. Companies interested in hiring? Why not just set up a table on the sidewalk in front of your office and talk to the people who come by. You'll do so much better than you have been with your applicant tracking systems, HR nazis and job descriptions from hell. And we who are looking for work will actually be able to make contact.

I am a 50 year old Banker. Was in a long term relationship for 20 years with a man that I ended about 7 months ago. I have been dating some and just getting used to it again. Love to play sports! Not one to really watch them on TV. Ran two Marathons (26.2 Miles) in the last 2 years. Atlanta and Big Sur in Carmel CA!. Love to cook. Pretty social but prefer to have just a close group of really good friends. Love to travel. Been many places: Egypt, Isreal, Instanbul, Spain, Greece, Austrualia, New Zealand, Fiji, Prague, Budapest, German, Italy. Can not list them all. Just left a big home in Brookhaven and a Vacation home outside of Asheville and moved to a High Rise on Peachtree near Peachtree Battle. A new begining in the Sky on the 14th Floor Under the Penthouse. I love Politics and News. (Big Libertarian. Fiscally conservative but socially Liberal). Love dogs. Have two Doxies named Hana and Hans. Originally from Texas and I am a good old country boy at heart who is very grounded with his roots and relegion. Played football in HS. If you were from TX you had to play football. Wide Receiver and Right Corner Back. Not intimidated by much. I have been called a Pretty Man a lot in my Life, but this Pretty Man can also be a little scrappy. Had 2 older brothers who were Rugby Players who beat on me so I learned to fight and take care of myself. Not ashamed to say back in my college days I was in a few bar fights one of which landed me in jail over night. Love being around people and being active. Just went through some Birkman Testing for work and scored a 99 for activity level, which is the highest you can score, so not much sitting around all weekend watching football on TV. Looking for someone similar in age and professional status. Never been on a dating web site until just now. I am very independent and strong willed, so if you are looking for someone passive, it is not me. Love the Theatere. Typically go to NY 3-4 times a year to see shows. Enjoy hiking especially in the Asheville area but not staying in a tent or camp ground more than one night. My really Close friends call me by a nickname that I have had since a child which is "Scooter" as in Scooter Libby. I was at a dinner party around the time the Scooter Libby Scandle broke and 2 woman next to me were talking about it and said what grown man goes by the name of Scooter? And I leaned over and said well this 40 something does. Have a nice evening!

deegee and Atl Employer nailed it. I have never seen anything like this addiction to smart phones in my lifetime (51). I was a Shift Supervisor at a Travel Plaza and it's clearly written, published and explained. No phones, no texting. Yet as soon as they think no is looking, it's heads down texting away. Was at the library yesterday. Young man supposed to be putting books back on the shelves. But of course he found a nice out of the way spot to chill and text away. I don't get it. Is what you are doing on the phone more important than a job well done. I believe that if had my own business, no one under 35 would get a second call. Or let them no that having a cell phone out on the job is a no warning, CLOCK OUT AND GO HOME offense!!!

You are missing the point.
What is causing millions of people to leave the work force. They did not suddenly become unemployable and retirements did not suddenly jump up.
It seems to me that people are so discouraged by the economy ( 15% total unemployment U6) and Obama's vigorous push to pad government assistance have made working unattractive for millions. Our labor force participation is at a generational low. Nine million people have left the labor force under Obama's leadership.
A few of us can't pay the bills for all of us.

Companies that employ high-skilled workers have learned to get by with a lean staff and corporate profits are just fine with the current employment situation. Obama and the Democrats are pushing for more visas (H1-B and other visas) to bring in foreign workers at a cheaper wage rate. We don't have a shortage of STEM workers, but we have a shortage of STEM workers that will labor for $40,000/year with a Master's degree. Yes, their are some really, really, bright foreign workers, but they are less than 25% of those with visas. The rest are no better than the majority of US workers.
My brother has a business that employs workers in about a dozen states including most of the southeastern states, New York, and California. He employs highly paid sales types and a lot of lower employees near minimum wage. He is cutting their hours below 30 a week so that OBAMACARE doesn't cost him his business. I also have a son working for a local business that keeps his minimum wage hours below 30 a week for the same reason (assumed).
Obama and the Democrats are pursuing very "lofty" goals that can be described as a nanny state where government is the solution to all problems. More EPA regulations only means a weakened economy, providing jobs to foreign nationals/illegal aliens at a time of high unemployment is a disgrace, lowest labor participation rate in the last 34 years (Jimmy Carter…and we all know how that worked out), 20% of US citizens on one or more of the 143 government programs to "provide for the poor". Some employees don't want raises because then they would lost $1200/month in government benefits. When you are only making $1500/month on your low wage job…who wants a raise that would cost them $1200/month in government benefits?
Obama and the Democrats are building the economy they WANT! One in which voters are dependent on the Democrat party for government benefits. Keep on voting the Democrat ticket and keep on getting your "free" benefits until the money runs out or China refuses to buy more government bonds to support the freebie society.

I think we are really start to hit a boiling point in the middle and upper middle classes in this country. We cannot keep this up. First, we need to stop ANY (legal and especially illegal) immigration until we can right this ship. The 64% of us cannot afford any additional mouths to feed. Both parties want immigration for various reasons, but we need to stand up. We deserve to be paid well for our skills and when you introduce people willing to take less then we all lose.
Unemployment needs to be dialed back to the original 26 weeks. Food stamps need to cover bare minimum foods like they used to – ie. the big blocks of hoop cheese, milk, bread etc. No more brand foods. This hurts us more than we even realize. Not only do we have to pay for it via taxes, but the cost of groceries is artificially high because a new form of currency has been introduced and our limited dollars cannot compete with "free" EBT cards. Isn't it illegal in the U.S. to introduce a new form of currency? The government has done just that via food stamps (or SNAP, but let's just call it what it is), section 8 vouchers, WIC etc.
I'm a Nurse Practitioner working in public health. My service is federally funded via Title X for family planning. The intent is contraception and healthier pregnancies. What I really do is clean up STDs (over and over for some people), give free well woman and problem gynecology care to illegals (at least half – and probably more- of my patients only speak spanish and don't have an SS number), and give away free mammograms etc. Rarely, does anyone actually use the contraception we give out (they only take it because they think they have to for me to give them the multitude of antibiotics that they need for free). I can tell you so many stories, but just yesterday I removed an IUD for a woman on food stamps with multiple children already who was ready for another baby. Then I was told by an illegal that she will wait for a mammogram until we have funding for the free ones again and to make sure her husband is still on the list for a free vasectomy, all after she had breast implants in her home country six months ago. The government will tell you there is very little fraud, but any of us who work "on the front lines" can tell you that the majority is fraud and abuse. We really need to clearly explain that stay at home mom is not a job title unless there is a go to work dad to pay for it.
The only bright side for me is that I am 38 and I had worried about getting older, but that seems to work in my favor now because those under 30 (maybe 35) really are quite useless and they have very little work ethic. I even got a job offer last week after interviewing just over the phone and I am convinced it was because my age worked in my favor. I lock my phone up all day and I don't even look at it, but I have patients who can't look up long enough for me to ask them health questions. I have actually had patients talk on the phone while getting a pap smear. That is just distasteful.
Someone also mentioned that appearance plays a part in hiring and I think that is very true. At my age I should be able to write off my trainer, botox, laser resurfacing, etc. on my taxes as employment expenses. It is a sad commentary, but we have to work with the cards we're dealt, I guess.

Seriously, we're in our mid 60's now. When my husband lost his job, he was 60. Could not get arrested and not for lack of trying. We at least didn't spend everything, but we're certainly not in the 1%. I think after about three years, he stopped actively looking, although still gets job alerts, blah blah. Has a BS in Accounting and an MBA as well. AGE DISCRIMINATION is alive and well in the US. And no, he didn't want to go to work for Lowe's as a cashier – why should he? He worked his ass off for 35 years and would like to use his talents. So – NOT LOOKING ANYMORE and where would he look that he hasn't already?? But what a waste. He's smart and a workaholic. But he's very happy. Goes to the gym, works on the budget (ours, for once) and makes sure he doesn't pay a dime more in taxes than he needs to. That's his job now.

I have not had a full time job in over 4 years, and yes I am still looking. I am a highly skilled IT professional, but I still can't find a job. Want to know why? H1B visa holders. I KNOW this for a fact. I trained my H1B visa holder replacements (3 of them) to do my last job. The 3 of them together did less work than I did on the project we were on. The project was divided into 3 sectons of work. I was assigned one third of the work and STILL had to help them. The 3 of them together were supposed to do 1/3 of the work, they didn't. And I did my assigned 1/3rd without overtime and met everyone of my deadlines. All 3 them were working overtime and still COULDN'T meet their deadlines. I had to take on some of their work, so that we could get the project done on time! The people that they are currently bringing in on H1B Visa's are NOT highly trained professionals. Most of them are entry level and have to be taught to do their jobs. I would have had an easier time trying to teach a monkey how to do the same job!
As for moving, where should we go? (we are a family of 4) Atlanta is a major center for the IT field. The other places are in California, New York City, Chicago etc. I left Chicago in 1985 and I have no intention of ever moving back there. These positions are paying the same no matter what city the job is in. We've done the math and we simply can not afford to live in those places. We don't live in a big, fancy house, the monthly payment for our 1200sq ft house is $500 and it will be paid off in 8 years. You can't even rent an efficency apartment for that price in any of those cities!
I am not just sitting on my butt, waiting for a job. I have and will take short term contracts. I did a 12 week contract in Orlando, FL last year. I have a part time job, that puts gas in my car and allows me time to continue to look for a full time position. I would be willing to take an other position. Trouble is, when a prospective employer finds out what I made at my last short term contract, they won't hire me. I've even had prospective employers tell me that they wouldn't hire me, because they thought that I'd quit as soon as I got a job in the IT Field.

The liberals have made a very big miscalculation on the impact of foreign workers on the job prospects of US citizens. All of us will pay the price of allowing foreign nationals to take jobs that US citizens SHOULD be performing!
However, those same liberals want a nanny state. A nanny state will be very, very expensive. Just wait until OBAMACARE kicks in and the immense problems are visible. Early reports are coming in of all the problems the AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. Quess what, it really is not affordable! Young healthy people will be subsidizing healthcare for everyone else, yet they will be competing for jobs in a global economy where low wage countries have the advantage. On top of that, we will be providing that same healthcare to those illegal aliens who will be legalized in the new AMNESTY program. Foreign nationals who have no respect for our immigration laws. Add in the additional foreign nationals brought in by "family reunification"! Our population will swell to 350 million in another 20 years and their will be a lot of poorly educated foreign nationals and their elderly parents, uncles, and aunts.
All brought to you by the liberals who can't see the future problems that are placing on the US economy.

That's great RickinGrayson. Our population is getting older and our birthrate is down. Who do you think is going to pay your social security and medicare?

The media can cover for Obama all they want but the reality is that the economy sucks and is only getting better for the educated and easily employable. Five years of stimulus and attacks on the productive class have failed us. Misery is spreading and the dems are out of ammunition.
If there were a republican president, the media would be foaming at the mouth over the long term implications of terrible unemployment and millions leaving the job market.
April 7th, 2013
6:32 pm
deegee…Thanks for making my point! Why do we want foreign nationals on visas and illegal aliens who disregard our immigration laws competing for jobs with young US citizens?
I hope you are not saying that illegal aliens pay enough in taxes to support older US citizens. Illegal aliens are not paying a substantial amount of FEDERAL or STATE INCOME TAXES! Illegal aliens are a net drain on the US economy.
Educating the children of illegal aliens costs $10,000/year for each child. The children of illegal aliens typically do not graduate HS. Illegal aliens usually speak Spanish and the cost of translation services for the government are huge! Providing legal status to illegal aliens only institutionalizes the costs of caring for these poorly educated trespassers. With legal status and new immigrants as a result of family reunification, Social Security will be overwhelmed! Those that pay the least into SS extract the most on a proportional basis (visit the SS website).
Look at the Cassidy April 6th, 2013 11:54 am post! Illegal aliens are overwhelming our healthcare system and they DO NOT PAY!
The US as a sovereign nation can increase legal immigration if and when the US population becomes a problem and we can choose the immigrants that we want to allow into OUR country. We don't have to be at the mercy of illegal aliens who FORCE their way into our country. This is our country, not theirs! Will they give up citizenship in their home countries? Of course not, they will take their SS dollars and move back to their home countries where the cost of living is cheaper.

I'm in my 60s, and have been looking for a job the past 5 years. I have sent out over 200 resumes, and have had no luck. I am qualified in my field, still active, keep current with changes but it's impossible to get past the HR department that seems to be full of young, inexperienced individuals who don't know how to read a CV, or select a good candidate. The most recent job for which I applied was a total match for my skills and expertise but I got back a letter from the HR person stating that they had decided to go with someone whose qualifications were a close match for the position. Really!!! I guess this was code for "We don't want your age group here!" HR departments are probably the worst development in the business world in the last 30 years. They seem unable to recognize suitable applicants. Age discrimination is illegal, remains widespread, and is difficult, almost impossible to prove. In addition, to meet EEO regulations, many companies put out ads after having made the decision whom they will employ. It's a rotten system!

One better than the texting/ crackberry people:I was at a restaurant Friday night when they fired a new worker in the kitchen for drinking the alcohol used in their dishes. "Man this is great! Unlimited booze! Many of the people not hired are too stupid (I didn't say they didn't have an education or skills) to keep their nose clean or clean up their Facebook page and…get this….WORK! Many Americans, esp this generation, does not know what hard work is. Many have been given everything by their parents, never had a job in high school and college, and they can't tell time (show up on time and stop working after their shift is over).

hey there Destin Dawg, my husband is on social security disability. He has LTD with his former employer, but the LTD insuruance company forced him to apply for SS because they get to claw back that amount from what they pay us in benefits… and yes, this is a permanant situation, cause his disability will never go away. Don't be such a hater. Get some facts from people living in the situation that you speak against it.

RickinGrayson, you are misinformed. Illegal immigrants are not clogging up our health care system. Old people and obese people are clogging up our health care system. Do some research outside of the FAIR website. Additionally, illegal immigrants working with fake social security numbers are paying billions in social security taxes. That money does not go into a lockbox for them. It is paid out to retirees. They are helping to keep the system afloat. Make them legal and they will be paying income taxes as well. They are not going back where they came from. We have had 6 years of oppressive state immigration laws and a record number of federal deportations. Those that wanted to go back have gone. Those that are still here are staying.

Companies want the crème de ka crème. Praise GOD I'm working… But I've attempted to go in to certain fields dealing in my education (business- health care management) or certification/licensure(insurance sales and adjusting). The opportunities that pay decently (not exponentially) want 3-5yr experience. The entry level position still want 1-2yrs experience and don't want to pay a respectable wage. I'm looking I'm single and live below my means. Because I'm marketable with experience and bilingual in Spanish, I get job offers, but the pay versus the requirements/qualification don't justify add up. If necessary I could and would take such a job as something is better than nothing. However, others aren't really able to navigate themselves readily or quickly able to move a lower wage job paying less than $30k/yr.

Before BikeTown: "The BLC is a community center for people living with HIV/AIDS. Continuing to exercise is critical to their health."--Kris Hormann, BLC development director
Robert Dickerson
This time last year, I was sick with prostate cancer. For two months, I went to radiation treatment every morning. I live on the third floor, and some days I couldn't make it all the way up without stopping to rest. When I felt better, my doctor and I agreed that I should start an exercise program. Then all of a sudden I got this bike.
I'd never had one before, and I was skeptical that I'd even be able to ride it. I went up and down my block until I felt comfortable enough to get on the bike path. I got stronger and stronger until I could pedal all the way from my home to Boston--3 or 4 miles. It seems like the more you ride, the more energy you have--you don't want to come back in. It's not like being in a gym, where you're confined. With my immune system compromised, I'm not sure that would be a healthy environment for me. Maybe next I'll train for?what's that bike race? The Tour de France? I know I'm exaggerating, but that's how confident I feel.
Eddie Martinez
I've been living with HIV Since I was 14--I'm a long-term survivor. The main reason I got into bike riding was because one of my doctors said that being active would help my immune system. And it has helped me enormously. I've lost 10 pounds. My CD4 count went up, and my viral load is undetectable. Also, I recently found out I have late-stage osteonecrosis, and I was supposed to have surgery. But my legs are stronger now, and I don't need to use a cane anymore, so my doctor decided to do physical therapy instead.
You can ride around the block 10 times and notice something new each time--a new flower, a different tree. Well, the bike has also changed my perspective of me. As a Latin man, a gay man, with HIV, I'm a minority within a minority within a minority--it makes everything so difficult. But riding makes me feel free. It's like I've been given a second opportunity; I can still accomplish great things. I don't believe this is a disease--it's just a condition. And you can teach that condition to obey you.
Karen Phillips
I was diagnosed with HIV in 1999. I celebrated four years of sobriety on October 18th. I had my last cigarette July 3rd--I'd tried to quit lots of times before, but after I got the bike, I really didn't need them anymore. The bike was like a gift from God, a chance to get healthy. So why would I want to go back to smoking?
I hadn't ridden a bike in eight years, since I lived in Florida. But there's a bike path right across the street from my apartment, and over the summer I went there every day. It's opening up a whole new world. It's hard to explain, but I don't like to do things in public--I'm afraid to be around other people. So for me just to be able to ride out on the path is huge. Eventually, I'm going to go out and ride on the street, which is something I thought I'd never do.
It's like, wow--all of this comes from a bike?
John Garrou
Before BikeTown:
I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I have met with a dietitian and lost about 60 pounds so far. I am feeling a lot better, but I know I have a long way to go."
When I was in high school, I rode BMX half pipes. I used to be serious about mountain biking. I don't know why I stopped--I shouldn't have. When my doctor told me I had diabetes, he gave me a chance to control it on my own, without medication. I wanted to try it, and not just for me. I could see my habits influencing my kids. We were eating McDonald's three times a week.
The Giant rides like one of my old BMX bikes; it's easy on my back. When it was hot outside, I waited until night to ride. I worked up to riding for about an hour and a half, 10 to 15 miles. One night I just went out in the country to see where I could go. When I looked at my odometer, I'd gone 26 miles and I thought, "Wow, I just rode a marathon." I haven't felt this good in years. I've lost about 75 pounds in eight months. My blood sugar is normal now, with no signs of diabetes.
My doctor says, "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it." And I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that I will. I want to ride in the MS 150 this spring--180 miles from Houston to Austin. Everyone I've talked to says it's a big party. Before, I rode just because I enjoyed it. I still do, but this time there's also a bigger goal in mind.

STARLIGHT, IN (WAVE) – Bourbon is definitely Kentucky's drink, but it's a myth that it can only be produced in the Bluegrass state. Soon Huber's Orchard and Winery will be selling its' own spirits.
"This has been something our family has been committed to do," said Ted Huber, Master Distiller/Co-owner.
Since 2001 the Starlight Distillery at Huber's Orchard and Winery has been creating spirits they weren't allowed to share with the community due to Indiana law.
Unlike breweries and wineries, Indiana distillers could not offer samples for tasting or sell by the glass or bottle - that is until now.
Huber says the family owned farm worked closely with State Representative Ed Clere [(R) New Albany], over the last few years to make their dream a reality.
"We've seen what an impact wineries and breweries have made in economic development and revitalization throughout the state and there is the potential to do the same thing with distillers," said Clere.
Clere authored the bill to do just that and the starlight distillery was the first in the state to receive its license.
"Huber's had almost 600,000 visitors last year and this is another growth opportunity to continue to drive more tourism and with the tourism comes investment and expansion and jobs," said Clere.
"We want to have the full experience of people coming onto the property and seeing the actual crops being grown here on the property and the full affect of the agriculture all the way to the finished product in the glass," said Huber.
You won't be able to get the spirits just yet, because this takes some time vodka will be the first available. Huber's Orchard and Winery hopes to have it on the shelves this summer followed by whiskey and then bourbon.

September 22, 2014
Video game violence and its effect on culture was the hot topic of debate at Bridgewater College Thursday night.
Culture critic Gerard Jones and lawyer Jack Thompson debated to a packed Cole Hall Auditorium.
Thompson, who was disbarred by the Florida Supreme Court in 2008, believes that content should be regulated more efficiently, especially when advertising seems to be aimed at kids. He pointed out the violent aspects of the popular game series "Grand Theft Auto."
"The problem is mature and adult video games that are very violent, increasingly pornographic, that are still being sold aggressively to young people," says Thompson. "Kids literally process these games in the part of the brain that leads to copy-cat violence."
However, Jones urged people to view video games in the same ways as movies and television, and hoped gamers would be more open to explain why they love to play.
He says, "We hear a lot about the fear of what they might do, what might go wrong, but we hear so little about how these games are obviously fitting in to a sane, healthy life for a lot of normal people."
The debate was sponsored by the W. Harold Endowed Lecture Series.

MILLSBORO, Del. – A double murder mystery is unfolding in Millsboro.
Delaware State Police say they were called to house on the 28000 block of Harmons Hill Road Tuesday morning around 1:08 AM, after a concerned family member of one of the victims stopped by to find William Hopkins, 27, and a Cletis Nelson, 29, dead.
"I don't know how long it had been but he hadn't heard from him in a while, and when he arrived, he found the two men deceased," says Corporal John Day with the Delaware State Police.
Julie Ellis-Hall tells WMDT she owns the house where police discovered the bodies of two murdered men, but has no idea who either of the victims is, or had any knowledge that the two were spending time in the home. However, she says she does know the person renting the house, Ed Cannon, who reportedly moved in two months ago.
"I know some of his family members, I knew his employer very well, and he was just a great guy," says Ellis-Hall. "He fixed the property up really nice and was very kind. I'm shocked, I mean there are just no words."
Ellis-Hall says she spoke with family members of Cannon, and they apparently do not know where he is. Police would not say whether or not they are looking for him, but they do confirm that both Hopkins and Nelson do have a criminal record.
Many neighbors on Harmons Hill Road also say they do not know anything about the victims, but the proximity of the killings has many on edge.
"It's weird, shocking, they're only a year or two older than I am," says Jonathan Bowman, who lives just a few houses away from where the murder happened. "It's just unimaginable what would cause somebody to do something like that."
Police could not say whether there were any visible signs of harm to the victims' bodies, but since there were no signs of forced entry, it suggests that this was not a random act, and the public should not be concerned for their safety.The bodies will reportedly be turned over to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine the exact cause and manner of death. If you have any information regarding this incident, police are asking you to call Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.

Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane reaches accord with Geisinger to ensure regional access to quality and affordable health care
HARRISBURG - Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane today announced that her office has reached an agreement with Geisinger Health System Foundation over antitrust concerns that the acquisition of Lewistown Hospital and its employed physician group may have substantially lessened or eliminated competition in the region.
"Access and price are most important to consumers when it comes to health care," said Attorney General Kane. "Consumers want to be able to see their physicians and obtain quality hospital services locally, regardless of what insurance card they carry in their wallet. They also want reasonable prices for health care services."
Attorney General Kane said that a final order was filed that reflects Geisinger's agreement to preserve health care competition in the region, ensuring good faith negotiations with health plans and maintaining high quality and affordable health care services for the community. She thanked Geisinger for its cooperation with this important community health issue.
Geisinger is the non-profit parent of five hospitals, including Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Montour County; Geisinger Clinic, a multi-specialty physician group practice with more than 1,000 primary and specialty care physicians; and Geisinger Health Plan.
A review of the merger raised concerns about pricing and competition for residents of Mifflin and Juniata counties. The Office of Attorney General and Geisinger worked constructively to alleviate those concerns, and agreed to the following terms in an eight-year-agreement to ensure regional access to quality and affordable health care:
The Commonwealth's case was handled by Executive Deputy Attorney General James A. Donahue III, Chief Deputy Attorney General Tracy W. Wertz and Senior Deputy Attorney General Jennifer A. Thomson.

The Chicken Pox Vaccine: To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate
A review of the varicella vaccine
Can Vaccinated Children Still get Chicken Pox?
Can vaccinated children still get chicken pox?Yes, but this is very unusual. For any individual who is vaccinated, there is a 10-percent chance that a case will develop following a very close exposure to chicken pox. However, if it does, it will be mild, with fewer than 50 pox and no chance of serious complications.

Determinants of Australian Mothers' Employment: An Analysis of Lone and Couple Mothers
AbstractWhile the lower rates of employment of lone mothers as compared with couple mothers has been well-documented, the reasons for the employment gap are less well understood. This paper uses data from the 1996 Australian Census to analyse the factors which explain the employment gap. We find that the employment probability determinants are generally similar for lone and couple mothers, although there are several important differences. In general, factors that are typically associated with lower rates of employment, and could be considered a barrier to employment, have a larger negative effect on the probability of employment of lone mother than on couple mothers. Importantly, it is found that the presence of children has a similar impact on the employment of lone and couple mothers. The analysis also reveals that around one-third of the employment gap is due to differences in the characteristics of the lone and couple mothers.

Look around the Twin Cities, and it's easy to find pieces of Mankato on many buildings, but a company that has been mining the cream-colored limestone for 125 is suspending operations.
A couple of quarries in Minnesota mine for the popular building stone that was used in the construction of the new Blue Earth County Justice Center, but one of the two is now suspending its business.
After 125 years of family-owned operation, the Coughlan family may be the latest victim of the recession in the construction industry even though many buildings display facades from Mankato Kasota Stone. In fact, there's still stock in the quarry yard, but company leaders say the once-fluid demand has turned to stone.
"We had a decent time through 08 and 09, and then, all of the building stopped," Tom Ahern, CEO of Coughlan Companies, told FOX 9 News. "Permitting stopped and then all of the long-term leading indicators turned out to be exactly what it was in construction -- and that was the bulk of our business as far as Mankato Kasota Stone. It just got tougher and tougher."
The family-owned business dates back to 1885, when T.R. Coughlan started the quarry near the banks of the Minnesota River. The stone produced there was quickly recognized as a durable building material that is still used today in buildings like the new headquarters for the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the St. Peter Community Center and Library and the downtown post office in Minneapolis. It was also used in many of the buildings at the University of St. Thomas campus in St. Paul.
The company is proud of that heritage, and is now shifting its focus to publishing children's books because Capstone Publishing Company is now its most profitable business. Yet, the suspension of the stone operation doesn't mean the business is gone for good.
"It's been through suspended mode before and come back revitalized and recapitalized," Ahern said. "I think the brothers -- Bob and Jim -- would love nothing more than to see an environment where we can get back at it profitably and turn that back into a business."
The Mankato Kasota Stone quarries aren't going anywhere, but since the profit centers for Coughlan Companies has, they are working to transition some employees into other areas of the business.

Coming full circle, a star begins with gas and dust, and when it dies, it returns much of the gassy mixture back to space.

Those stars may have been very different from todays stars.

BELOIT, WI (WTAQ) - A man killed by police officers in Beloit was identified Wednesday as 23-year-old Darrius Lowery-Baptiste.
He was under surveillance late Tuesday afternoon when he left a house, and officers tailed him.
Officials said the man was boxed in by squad cars when he ignored an order to put his own vehicle in park. He then rammed one squad, and drove toward an officer when two others on the scene shot him.
Both are on administrative leave, pending the completion of state and local investigations. Officials did not release the officers' names.
One of the shooters was an 18-year veteran of the Beloit Police Department, and the other had three years in.
The state Corrections Department had a warrant out for Lowery-Baptiste for violating a probation. Beloit Police said they also wanted to question him about a series of recent shootings.

Led Zeppelin 's Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones were in Berlin, Germany, on Thursday to accept the first International Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of the group at the 22nd annual ECHO awards ceremony. The band was recognized for their "outstanding contribution to music."
Speaking with Euronews during the event, Page noted, "As long as we can be an inspiration, either as a group or individually or whatever... as far as I'm concerned, that is my lifetime achievement: that people will be inspired by the music."
The ECHO awards are handed out by the German music industry to artists who have garnered the greatest record sales.
Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant was unable to attend the event because he is currently on tour with his group The Sensational Space Shifters and had a show scheduled that evening in Singapore. Plant has been doing quite a lot of press for the trek, and in an interview earlier this week with Singapore's Today Digital, he addressed the recent remarks he made that seem to suggest that he might open to doing something with his Zeppelin band mates next year.
"Since my funny comments, I've not heard from anybody," he declared. "What do you think of that?"
Last month, during an interview with Australia's 60 Minutes , Plant was asked about the possibility of another Led Zeppelin reunion and responded by saying, "You need to speak to the [Page and Jones], 'cause I've got nothing to do in 2014."
Plant's tour with The Sensational Space Shifters continues on Saturday with the first of a series of Australian shows.

• Host associations decision for UEFA EURO 2020 taking place on 19 September in Geneva
• Announcement ceremony at the Espace Hippomène streamed live on this page from 13.00CET
• UEFA Executive Committee will select 13 associations/cities from the 19 bids
• 12 standard packages (three group stage games, one quarter-final or round of 16 game)
• One association/city will host the semi-finals and final (London or Munich)
The staging of UEFA EURO 2020 across Europe promises to provide a memorable football festival throughout the continent – and give some countries and cities the potential opportunity to be part of a tournament they may otherwise not be able to host.
UEFA's Executive Committee decided in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 6 December 2012 to stage a "EURO for Europe" in 2020, rather than a tournament in one or two host countries. The move follows an initial idea revealed by UEFA President Michel Platini at the end of UEFA EURO 2012. The Executive Committee also took its decision in the wake of positive feedback from its member national associations as part of a consultation process which took place in recent months.
Then, on 25 January 2013, the Executive Committee decided that the UEFA EURO 2020 final round will be staged in 13 cities around Europe, and approved the key event and football principles for the "EURO for Europe", which include:
• The matches will be split into 13 different packages, with 12 ordinary packages including three group matches and one knockout round game (round of 16 or quarter-final) apiece, and one package for the semi-finals and the final;
• There will be a maximum of one venue per country, meaning one stadium for each of the available 13 packages. Both semi-finals and the final will be played in one stadium; and
• Every national association will be allowed to present up to two bids, one for the ordinary package and one for the semi-finals/final package. Association can decide to present the same city for their two bids or two different cities.
Projected stadiums will be admitted in the bidding process, with a deadline of 2016 for the construction of any new stadium to start, failing which the decision on such a host city could be reviewed. The required minimum net stadiums capacities should be:
• 70,000 for semi-finals/final;
• 60,000 for quarter-finals;
• 50,000 for round of 16 and group matches; and
• Up to two exceptions would be made for stadiums of a net minimum capacity of 30,000 seats, limited to group fixtures and a round of 16 game.
All teams will participate in the qualifying competition and the 13 countries staging matches will therefore not be automatically qualified. A maximum of two host teams would be drawn into each of the six final tournament groups, with every qualified host being guaranteed two home games in the group phase. There would not be any such guarantee for the knockout stages.
For the group stage, the group composition would remain subject to seeding and to a draw. However, the allocation of hosting teams to groups would also take travel distances into account (for example, and where feasible, flights would not exceed two hours' duration between host cities to allow easy access to travelling fans).
At the UEFA Executive Committee meeting in Turin on 13 May 2014, the voting procedure for the allocation of matches for UEFA EURO 2020 was confirmed. The winning bid for the final and two semi-finals will be selected first, followed by the four venues which will host the quarter-finals and three group matches. Subsequently, regional zones, which will be finalised by the end of August by the UEFA Executive Committee members whose associations are not bidding, will apply for the appointment of venues for the round of 16 and three group games, before the remaining venues are decided for the remaining matches. Regional zoning, each comprising at least two venues, will ensure that games are held all over Europe.
The timeline for the bidding process has been approved by UEFA's Executive Committee:
• 28 March 2013: Approval of the bidding requirements and bid regulations
• April 2013: Publication of the bid requirements and launch of the bidding phase
• September 2013: Formal confirmation of their bid by the candidates
• April 2014: Submission of bid dossiers and start of the evaluation phase: List of 19 bidders
• 19 September 2014: Appointment of the host cities by the UEFA Executive Committee
UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino said a number of reflections had led to the Executive Committee's decision in Lausanne in December 2012. "Let me say it is a decision only about 2020," he emphasised. "2020 is the 60th anniversary of the European Football Championship. Obviously the fact that the EURO will feature 24 teams instead of 16 puts an additional burden on countries hosting such an event. It becomes much more difficult for many countries – the requirements are becoming bigger and bigger.
"An opportunity like this, to give many cities and many countries the possibility to host even just one part of a EURO, is certainly an excellent thing, especially in times when you have an economic situation where you cannot expect countries to invest in the facilities such an event requires. Certainly one of the purposes of this decision is to help countries who are perhaps not sure today whether they should build a national stadium – giving them the impetus to build such a stadium. Instead of having a party in one country, we will have a party all over Europe in 2020."
At the XXXVII Ordinary UEFA Congress in London in May 2013, UEFA President Michel Platini, the initiator of the idea, expressed great anticipation for UEFA EURO 2020. "In 2020, the EURO will never have better lived up to its name," he said. "It will be decidedly continental and profoundly European. It will be a EURO of unity and shared experiences. It will, of course, be a new challenge – a challenge of a new kind … [and with] one single language: football."
