Estimates of unemployment in states and local areas are key indicators of local economic conditions. These estimates are produced by the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program and used by state and local governments for planning and budgetary purposes and as determinants of the need for local employment and training services and programs. They also are used by economic forecasters, researchers, and bond and mortgage underwriters. In addition, local area unemployment estimates are used to determine the eligibility of an area for benefits in various federal assistance programs.
The LAUS program is a Federal-State cooperative program. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) develops concepts, definitions, and technical procedures and then works with state workforce agencies, who prepare labor force and unemployment estimates. Monthly and annual average estimates of employment and unemployment are prepared in state agencies for more than 7,300 unique geographic areas: states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico; labor market areas (LMAs), such as metropolitan and micropolitan areas; counties and equivalents; cities with a population of 25,000 or more; and all cities and towns in New England, regardless of population.
Unemployment estimates have been developed for subnational areas for nearly 70 years. The program began during World War II under the War Manpower Commission, with the aim of identifying areas where a labor market imbalance had been created due to inadequate labor supply, material shortages, or transportation difficulties. After the war, emphasis was placed on identifying areas of labor surplus, and a program of classifying areas in accordance with severity of unemployment was established.
In 1950, the Department of Labor's Bureau of Employment Security (now Employment and Training Administration) published a handbook, Techniques for Estimating Unemployment, so that comparable estimates of the unemployment rate could be produced for all states. This led to the formulation of the "handbook method" in the late 1950s. The handbook method is a series of computational steps designed to produce local employment and unemployment estimates, using available data at a much lower cost than a direct survey. The handbook method relies heavily on data derived from the unemployment insurance (UI) system. (See section "Estimates for Substate Areas—The handbook method.")
In 1972, BLS assumed technical responsibility for the program and began to refine the concepts and methods used to estimate the labor force, employment, and unemployment at the subnational level. In 1973, a new system for developing labor force estimates was introduced, combining the handbook method with the concepts, definitions, and estimation controls from the Current Population Survey (CPS). The CPS, a monthly BLS survey conducted by the Census Bureau, is used to measure the labor force status of individuals for the nation as a whole. (See chapter 1.) CPS estimates are based on data from a sample of households that is designed to provide reliable monthly unemployment estimates for the nation and reliable annual average estimates for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. A major advantage of the CPS is that it applies uniformly across states, whereas UI data are affected by individual states' UI laws.
Since 1973, the CPS sample size has been increased (and reduced to a lesser degree) several times in selected states, and the design has been modified to improve the quality of state labor force estimates. As a criterion for using the monthly CPS data directly for official publication of labor force estimates, a maximum expected coefficient of variation (CV) of 10 percent for unemployment—assuming an unemployment rate of 6 percent—was established by BLS. (The coefficient of variation of an estimate is defined as the standard error of the estimate divided by the estimate itself.) On the basis of this criterion, beginning in 1978 the monthly CPS data were used for official statewide labor force estimates for 10 large states—California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas—and for 2 substate areas—the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area and New York City. These states and areas were referred to as "direct-use" areas, because they used the CPS data without any mathematical or statistical adjustments. Official monthly estimates for the remaining "nondirect-use" states were based on the handbook method adjusted to CPS controls, using a historical 6-month moving-average ratio adjustment
In 1985, a state-based design for the CPS was fully implemented for the first time, to incorporate 1980 Census information and to improve reliability for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. North Carolina was added as another direct-use state, and the CV requirement for monthly unemployment was reduced to 8 percent for these 11 large states. For each of the other 39 (non-direct-use) states and the District of Columbia, the reliability requirement was established at an 8-percent CV for annual average unemployment, assuming a 6-percent unemployment rate.
Beginning in 1989, handbook estimation for the 39 nondirect-use states and the District of Columbia was discontinued in favor of time-series statistical modeling. The models were developed by BLS and tested by state workforce agencies. (Estimates for most substate areas continue to be based on the handbook method.)
Estimates for the large, direct-use states had been seasonally adjusted since 1978. In 1992, seasonal adjustment was extended to the model-based estimates for the non-direct-use states. In 1994, in conjunction with a major redesign of the CPS, a second generation of time-series models was introduced, based on a "signal-plus-noise" approach.
In 1996, in response to budget reductions, the number of households in the CPS sample was temporarily reduced, resulting in the elimination of direct use of the CPS for monthly estimation in the 11 large states, the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area, and New York City. Beginning with January 1996, labor force estimates for these subnational areas have been based on the time-series modeling approach used in the other 39 states and the District of Columbia.
In 2005, improved third-generation time-series estimates for modeled areas were introduced, along with real-time benchmarking of state estimates to the national CPS estimates. (See the section "Estimates for States—Real-time Benchmarking.") Also introduced were new time-series models for five metropolitan areas and the respective balances of their states, as well as improved substate estimation in the handbook method.
In 2010, a process for smoothing the seasonally adjusted estimates was introduced for all model-based areas. In 2011, seasonal adjustment, including the smoothing process, was introduced for metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions.
Monthly labor force data for all states and the District of Columbia are based on the time-series approach to sample survey data (Scott, Smith, and Jones, 1974; Bell and Hillmer, 1990). This approach reduces the high variability in monthly CPS estimates that results from these areas' small CPS sample sizes. Actual monthly CPS sample estimates are represented in signal-plus-noise form as the sum of a stochastic true labor force series (signal) and error (noise) generated by sampling only a portion of the total population, where:
yt = Yt + et
yt = CPS estimate,
Yt = true labor force value (signal), and
et = sampling error (noise).
The signal is represented by a time-series model that incorporates historical relationships in the monthly CPS estimates, along with auxiliary data from the UI and Current Employment Statistics (CES) programs. (See chapter 2.) This time-series model is combined with a noise model that reflects key characteristics of the sampling error (SE), to produce estimates of the true labor force values (Tiller, 2006). This estimator is optimal under the model assumptions and has been shown by Bell and Hillmer (1990) to be design consistent under general conditions.
Two models—one for the unemployment level and a second for the employment level—were developed for each state, on the basis of data from 1976 forward. The labor force level and unemployment rate are derived from the employment and unemployment measures produced by the two respective models. The signals for both models are based on a basic structural model that decomposes a series into stochastic trend-cycle (Tt), seasonal (St), and irregular (It) components (Harvey, 1989). The model is of the form:
Yt = Tt + St + It
The trend-cycle and seasonal components have mutually independent normal disturbance terms that cause them to drift slowly over time. The variances of these disturbances constitute the hyperparameters of the signal and determine the properties of the individual components. A positive variance for a component implies that it is stochastic (not perfectly predictable from past history), while a zero variance implies deterministic behavior (a fixed pattern over time). The irregular is treated as an uncorrelated zero-mean disturbance with fixed variance.
The model uses information from state CPS time series. A natural extension of the structural model is to allow one or more of the unobserved components of the signal to be related to corresponding components in another series. A common core of state-specific monthly covariates have been developed from auxiliary data sources: UI claims from the Federal-State UI system are used for the unemployment model, and nonagricultural payroll employment estimates from the CES program are used for the employment model. The model for the covariate, Xt, follows the same basic structural form as for Yt, with stochastic trend, seasonal, and irregular components. The two series, Yt and Xt, are treated as related in a bivariate time-series model with contemporaneous correlations between their respective trend disturbances (a special case of the seemingly unrelated time-series equations model; see Harvey, 1989). Correlations between irregular and seasonal components could be allowed, but because they are very weak, adding further complexity would result in little gain.
The bivariate model just described can accommodate a wide variety of evolving CPS time-series patterns and covariate relationships. The degree to which the time-series components vary over time is determined empirically for each state. In some cases, the seasonal component is estimated to have a fixed pattern from year to year. For most models, the irregular component is zero. Also, the degree of correlation between the trends in the CPS and the covariates is determined empirically. The strongest relationship occurs when there is a linear relationship between the trend levels and/or growth rates (cointegration). For most of the CPS series, empirical correlations are not strong enough to imply the presence of cointegration with the covariates. For some series, the trend correlations are effectively zero.
Occasionally, there are sudden changes, either temporary or permanent, in the CPS that are not predictable from past history. These aberrant observations, or outliers, are modeled with exogenous regression variables that introduce independent outlier components into the model's components. The most common types of outliers are permanent shifts and transitory changes in the level of the series. For example, a level shift was introduced into the Louisiana models to account for Hurricane Katrina.
The second major component of the signal-plus-noise model deals with CPS sampling errors (Tiller, 1992). Because of this survey's complex design, the behavior of the observed sample estimates differs in important ways from that of the true values. Sampled households are rotated in and out of the CPS over a period of 16 months, such that 75 percent of the sample from month to month consists of the same households and 50 percent from year to year. (See chapter 1.) Also, sample redesigns and large fluctuations in the size of the labor force cause changes in the variance of the estimates. These two features of the CPS—an overlapping sample design and changes in reliability—induce strong positive autocorrelation and heteroskedasticity in the standard errors. These characteristics can seriously contaminate estimates of the true labor force if the sampling error is ignored in the estimation process. For this reason, it is important to specify a model of the standard error process and combine it with the model of the signal, to estimate the unobserved components of the CPS. The standard error model is specified as:
et = γte*t,
with et reflecting the autocovariance structure, assumed to follow an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) process, and γt representing a changing variance over time. The parameters of the ARMA model are derived from sampling error autocorrelations developed independently of the timeseries model from design-based information. The CPS error variances are estimated using the method of generalized variance functions (Zimmerman and Robison, 1996).
The unknown hyperparameters of the signal are estimated by maximum likelihood, using the Kalman filter algorithm. Given these estimated hyperparameters, the Kalman filter is used to decompose the observed CPS into its signal and noise components. This algorithm efficiently updates the model estimates as new data become available each month. For the latest month, the Kalman filter calculates estimates on the basis of all available data but does not revise estimates for the previous months with the latest data. Previous estimates are updated by a Kalman filter "smoother," which revises a given period's estimate by using all data available, both prior and subsequent to the month. This smoothing procedure is performed only at the end of each year.
Real-time Benchmarking. LAUS model estimates are adjusted by means of a process of real-time benchmarking, whereby each month state model estimates are "ratio adjusted" to the CPS national estimates of employment and unemployment, such that the not seasonally adjusted estimates for all states and the District of Columbia sum to the national levels. By forcing state model estimates to add to current monthly national CPS estimates, real-time protection is provided for the models, because the benchmarked estimators will reflect this change as it occurs, whereas the original model estimators would be slower to adapt. Another benefit of benchmarking is to ensure comparability between estimates at different levels of geography.
Real-time benchmarking occurs in a two-step process. First, employment and unemployment estimates for Census divisions are created from CPS-only univariate signal-plus-noise models that are controlled to the national CPS estimates. Then, state model estimates are controlled to the appropriate division estimates.
Smoothed Seasonal Adjustment Process. In 2010, a smoothed seasonal adjustment (SSA) process was introduced to reduce the number of spurious fluctuations in the seasonally adjusted estimates due primarily to noise introduced in real-time benchmarking. State labor force estimates are smoothed with the use of the Henderson trend filter, which uses weighted moving averages to suppress irregular fluctuations in the seasonally adjusted series, leaving the trend more visible. Two-sided, symmetric moving averages (up to 13 months in length) are used to smooth the historical series, while a onesided, asymmetric (7-month) average is used in real time.
Modeled substate areas
Labor force estimates for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, CA, Metropolitan Division (formerly the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area) and New York City have been developed since 1978, first as direct-use areas and then using bivariate signal-plus-noise models. In 2005, signal-plus-noise models for five additional substate areas and their respective state balances were introduced. The areas are the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, IL, Metropolitan Division; the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, OH, Metropolitan Statistical Area; the Detroit-Warren-Livonia, MI, Metropolitan Statistical Area; the Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, FL, Metropolitan Division; and the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA, Metropolitan Division. (Model-based estimation also was initiated for the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, LA, Metropolitan Statistical Area but was discontinued following Hurricane Katrina, due to the storm's impact on the CPS sample and data collection.) These area models are based on the classical decomposition of a time series into trend, seasonal, and irregular components. A component to identify and remove the CPS sampling error also is included. Area models, like the Census division models, are univariate in design in that only the historical relationship of the CPS inputs is considered—UI claims counts and CES estimates are not used in the estimation process. Area and balance-of-state models are controlled directly to the state benchmarked model totals, which are themselves controlled to the national CPS via the Census division models, as described above.
The handbook method
Until 1973, the handbook method was the only means used to develop state and local area labor force and unemployment estimates. With the exception of the seven substate area models discussed, the handbook method continues to be used for substate estimation. This method is an effort to use available information to create employment and unemployment estimates for an LMA that are comparable to what would be produced by a representative sample of households in that area, without the expense of conducting a large labor force survey like the CPS. The method presents a series of estimating building blocks, for which categories of employed and unemployed workers are estimated and then summed.
Employment. The total employment estimate for a particular area is based on data from several sources. The main sources are the CES survey, the state-designed monthly survey of establishments, and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), a universe count of employment covered by the UI system. (See chapter 5.) These sources are designed to produce estimates of the total number of employees on payrolls in nonfarm industries for a particular area.
Because employment estimates from these sources are based on the location of the establishment, these "place-of-work" estimates must be adjusted to reflect the place-of-residence concept used in the CPS survey of households. Resident employment includes workers living and working in the same area and also those who work in other areas within commuting distance. Estimates of resident employment should, therefore, reflect employment changes in those related commutation areas as well. In 2005, LAUS introduced dynamic residency ratios (DRRs) to provide this adjustment. Multiple residency adjustment ratios were produced, using Census 2000 county-to-county worker commuting data and March/April 2000 total nonfarm job estimates. Separate residency adjustment ratios were developed for each estimating area and up to four additional labor market areas into which at least 100 residents commuted to work. Ratios for each of the commuting areas are multiplied by their respective monthly nonfarm jobs estimates to produce estimates of estimating area residents who work in each of the commuting areas. Separate commuting area estimates are summed to create a total of the resident nonfarm wage-and-salary employed for the estimating area. This adjustment also accounts for multiple jobholding and unpaid absences in the payroll employment estimates.
Estimates for employment not represented in the establishment series—agricultural workers and nonfarm self-employed, unpaid family, and private household workers—are derived by extrapolation from the decennial census. These components, plus the wage and salary component, represent total handbook employment. To develop estimates for employment not covered by the establishment series, census counts are used as base-period estimates to which change factors are then applied. Estimates of nonfarm self-employed, unpaid family, and private household workers are developed from change factors based on monthly CES and CPS data. Agricultural employment estimates are developed from change factors based on monthly and annual CPS data.
Unemployment. The estimate of unemployment is an aggregate of the estimates for each of the two building-block categories: those covered by the UI system and those outside its scope ("noncovered"). The covered category consists of (a) those who are currently receiving UI benefits and (b) those who have exhausted their benefits. The noncovered category consists of those who are ineligible to receive UI benefits.
A count of the covered unemployed who collected UI benefits during the reference week (the week of the 12th) and also had no earnings due to employment is obtained directly from state, federal, and railroad unemployment programs. Estimates of unemployed persons who have exhausted their benefits ("exhaustees") are based upon the number of claimants who received their final payments in the week before the reference week, plus an estimate of exhaustees from previous periods who are still unemployed. This calculation involves estimating the percentage of long-term unemployed who continue to remain unemployed each week and applying that percentage to the exhaustee pool.
Noncovered unemployed are those persons who are not in the scope of the UI system. Many of the unemployed were not employed immediately before their current spell of unemployment and, thus, did not meet the wage and employment experience requirements to qualify for UI compensation. Because UI compensation is not a criterion for determining unemployment status in the CPS, these individuals, known as entrants to the labor force, are counted as unemployed and included in LAUS estimates.
Unemployed entrants are divided into two groups: new entrants and reentrants. New entrants are individuals who have entered the labor force for the first time. Reentrants are individuals who have reentered the labor force after a period of neither employment nor unemployment. Both new entrants and reentrants are estimated from state-level CPS data on a 5-year weighted-average for each month. Then, the averages for each state are controlled to the corresponding national total for the current month. Next, these adjusted statewide entrant totals are distributed to each LMA, using population shares based on the latest annual July 1 population estimates from the Census Bureau. An LMA new entrant estimate is calculated as its share of the state population ages 16–19, multiplied by the total statewide new entrant estimate. Reentrants are estimated by a similar procedure, using each LMA's share of the state population ages 20 years and older and the statewide reentrant total.
Substate adjustment for consistency and additivity. Each month, handbook estimates are prepared for LMAs that exhaust each state geographically. To obtain an estimate for a given area, a "handbook share" is computed for that area; this is defined as the ratio of the area's handbook estimate to the sum of the handbook estimates for all LMAs in the state. The area's handbook share is then multiplied by the current statewide modeled estimate to produce the final adjusted LMA estimate of employment:
Ea(t) = Es(t) * HBa(t) / ΣHBa(t) ,
E = total employment,
HB = handbook employment,
a = area,
s = state, and
t = time.
A comparable adjustment is performed for unemployment.
Current labor force estimates at the sub-LMA level are required by several federal allocation programs. However, the handbook method was not designed for these small areas, because the data required to compute independent handbook estimates generally are not available. Based on data availability, two alternative methods are used to disaggregate the LMA estimates to the subarea level.
The population-claims method is the standard technique for unemployment. If residence-based UI claims data are available for the subareas within the labor market area, the ratio of the subarea to the total number of claims within the LMA is used to disaggregate the estimate of covered unemployed to the subarea level. The estimate of unemployed entrants is allocated on the basis of the latest annual distribution of adult and teenage population groups. When the population-claims method is used for unemployment, employment is disaggregated with the use of current population distributions prepared by the Census Bureau and weighted by each area's decennial census relative share of employment to population. This preferred combination of techniques is used to derive estimates for all counties in multicounty LMAs and for cities in nearly all states.
If the necessary UI claims data are not available at the subarea level, the census-share method is used. This method uses each subarea's decennial census share of county employment and unemployment, respectively, to disaggregate the monthly subarea (that is, city) estimates of employment and unemployment.
Employment and unemployment estimates for metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions are seasonally adjusted and smoothed each month, using one of two methods. One option is a non-model-based X-11 Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) method. The preferred option is a model-based approach known as Signal Extraction in ARIMA Time Series (SEATS). The approach that yields the best fit is used for each employment and unemployment time series. Once labor force estimates are seasonally adjusted, they are smoothed, using the same Henderson trend filter (H13) used in state estimation. These data were made available on the BLS website in mid-2011 and will be integrated into news releases and the time-series database at a later date.
At the end of each year, LAUS conducts a review of model performance. States provide information about their economies. Month-to-month movements and observations are examined to determine if they are reflective of economic events or if any should be considered outliers.
At the beginning of each year, LAUS receives new population controls from the Census Bureau. CPS estimates for states, Census divisions, and the United States are revised, using these new estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population ages 16 and older. Revisions to state model inputs—specifically, CES and UI—also are received. State and substate models then are reestimated to incorporate changes in inputs and population controls, using all data in the series. Revised statewide estimates are controlled to updated Census division models that sum to national totals, all reflecting the new population controls. (The official U.S. totals generally are not updated to reflect new population estimates.) Revised seasonally adjusted estimates are smoothed with the Henderson-13 symmetric filter, incorporating the current month and 6 prior and subsequent months. Toward the end of the series, where there are fewer than 6 subsequent months of data, an asymmetric filter is used.
Substate estimates are revised to incorporate any changes in the inputs, such as revisions in the place-of-work-based employment estimates, revisions to claims data, and updated historical relationships. Area handbook estimates then are revised and readjusted to sum to the revised state estimates of employment and unemployment. Areas for which the estimates are disaggregated are revised, using updated population estimates.
Estimates of unemployment and the unemployment rate are used by federal agencies to determine the eligibility of an area for benefits under various federal programs. These include: the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP), The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), the Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) program, and Labor Surplus Area (LSA) designations. Under most programs, unemployment data are used to determine the distribution of funds to be allocated to each eligible area. In the case of the HUBZone and LSA designations, data are used in the determination of area eligibility for benefits.
In 2005, improved time series models introduced reliability measures for the seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted series and for over-the-month changes. In 2008, reliability measures were implemented for over-the-year changes. In early 2007, model-based error measures became available for annual average estimates. Model-based error measures are available for regions, divisions, and states. (See Information on Model-Based Error Measures for Regions, Divisions, and States on the BLS website.) Analysis in the monthly Regional and State Employment and Unemployment news release reflects the use of these error measures.
Estimates not directly derived from sample surveys or statistical modeling are subject to errors resulting from the estimation processes used, as well as the limitations of the data sources used. The error structure associated with these estimates is complex, and information on the magnitude of the overall errors is not available.
Data products. Data from the LAUS program are made available to users in a variety of ways. Labor force and unemployment data are published monthly for Census regions and divisions, states, and the model-based substate areas in a news release entitled Regional and State Employment and Unemployment. Estimates for metropolitan areas and divisions are published monthly in a news release entitled Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment.
Annual average data are published each year in a news release entitled Regional and State Unemployment, which typically is issued in late February. This release presents data on the population, civilian labor force, employed, unemployed, and unemployment rate for regions, divisions, and states. Annual average information for states and metropolitan areas also is published each spring in Employment and Earnings Online.
Current and historical data from the LAUS program for all 7,300 areas also are available online in the Bureau's public database. Users may access the data via the BLS website (www.bls.gov/data/) or by anonymous FTP (ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/time.series/la/). Additional information about the LAUS program, including frequently asked questions, contacts, and technical references, are online at the LAUS homepage (www.bls.gov/lau/).

We love the strong herb flavors of this chicken! If you don't like balsalmic vinegar I would suggest you don't even try it. I make it with dried herbs as I don't usually have fresh herbs on hand and it turns out fine. Just make sure to decrease the amounts as dry herbs are stronger than fresh. This chicken is best when cooked on the grill as the smoky flavor blends incredibly well with the herbs and balsalmic vinegar. I have made this chicken for a few guests and everyone has said they loved it. It's great served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.
I generally follow recipes to the letter when offering reviews, because I think that is the fair way to review. However, on this one, I wish I would have read the reviews first and modified it before preparing. I agree with other users who say the balsamic vinegar over-powered the other flavors. When putting such a nice combination of herbs into my blender, I expected a nice, herby, and savory chicken. Instead, it tasted like balsamic vinegar and nothing else. That is ALL I tasted. My son was a fan but the rest of us were not impressed. Next time, I will cut the vinegar in half or perhaps use white wine instead. It was very simple to prepare though, and has potential. Definitely do not follow the recipe as written!!! ;)

I definitely recommend doing this on the grill to get the best results. I had fresh rosemary on hand which was nice and used dried thyme and dried parsley. I put everything into a mini food processor to blend. I pounded the chicken down thin and let it marinate for close to 12 hours. If you're not a fan of balsamic - use white wine or white wine vinegar. This is a great marinade. I've tried so many from this site and this is one of the best. This chicken would be great over pasta!
i marinated overnight and i only had dried herbs on hand so i used half the recommended measurements for them. It still turned out great.
Fairly easy to prepare and good results. My only complaint is the balsamic vinegar overpowered the other flavors a bit.
I used my immersion blender right in the bowl I was marinating the chicken (breasts and boneless thighs) and it made for less to wash. I, too, reduced the balsamic vinegar (to 1/4 cup) and increased the olive oil (to 1/3 cup) and found it was nicely balanced. Used dried thyme. Added 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes as well (we like heat!). A keeper!
This recipe was exactly what I was looking for, a way to make flavorful chicken breast without drying it out. I made a double batch of this for dinner and leftovers. Boyfriend loved it. Asked me to make it again. This is a perfect base. I changed the herbs and added some red pepper flakes for a little spiciness but this recipe is awesome.
This is a wonderful recipe. I decrease the vinegar a little as was suggested by some reviewers and it was great!! I added a little extra of each herb as well!! I will definitely use this again on beef and pork as well. I think it would be great on salmon!!

UPDATE: On Friday morning, Amanda Bynes appeared in court and was charged with three misdemeanor counts.
According to People, just after 11 a.m. EDT, she took the stand and acknowledged that she lived in New York City. In court, her New York attorney, Andrew Friedman, said his client denies the charges of throwing a bong out of a window and that she claims police illegally followed her into her apartment.
Judge Neil Ross waived bail, but told Bynes that if she was arrested again or failed to return to court for her next appearance, he would "set a significant bail."
She was released on her own recognizance and her next court date is set for July 9.
Former actress Amanda Bynes, who has made headlines dozens of times in recent months for erratic behavior, was arrested at her apartment in New York City on Thursday for reckless endangerment, tampering with physical evidence, and physical possession of marijuana, law enforcement authorities confirm to "omg! Insider."
According to WNBC, officers were called to her Midtown Manhattan West 47th Street apartment following following a report that a disorderly person on the premises. The doorman reported that she was smoking marijuana in the lobby, but when police arrived, she had gone back to her apartment on the 36th floor. The actress was wearing the same blond wig at the time of her arrest that she's been seen wearing around town frequently.
Officers reportedly headed to her apartment and observed a marijuana-smoking bong as Bynes opened the door to answer. She allegedly then tossed the bong out the window. Officers reported a "heavy" smell of marijuana in the apartment.

She was then reportedly taken to Roosevelt Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation before heading to a Midtown police station for processing, according to sources.

Bynes remains under probation for driving in California with a suspended license, and still faces a pending suspicion of DUI case in Beverly Hills, Calif. Omg! spoke with a source close to the former Nickelodeon star who says she sounded "wasted" and "out of it" on Thursday night. The source adds that she faces big legal problems since she just pled no contest in Burbank, Calif. last week, and this arrest is a probation violation.All of this comes during a particularly troubled week for the actress who threatened to sue In Touch Weekly magazine for a cover story that she claims was riddled with lies. Bynes tweeted Wednesday morning:
That's not my bed! Those aren't my toes! My toes are pedicured! I just did an exclusive interview with intouch... twitpl.us/t/QUU— Amanda Bynes (@AmandaBynes) May 23, 2013
A spokesperson for In Touch, replied: "The photos of Amanda Bynes inside this week's issue of In Touch speak for themselves. We at In Touch have done our due diligence and research on the photos and the article that accompanies them.
In Touch has not altered or photoshopped these photos in any way. Additionally, the photographer has assured In Touch that these photos of Amanda were not altered or photoshopped in any way prior to the magazine obtaining them and they are, in fact, of Amanda Bynes taken at Amanda's apartment in New York City. All of Amanda's claims pertaining to the photos in this week's In Touch are false."
According to TMZ, she was also rejected from boarding a private plane in Teterboro Airport in New Jersey over this past weekend for not having proper government issued ID.

During an evening that celebrated songs spanning genres, styles and centuries, Pat Alger, Steve Cropper, Paul Davis and Stephen Foster became the latest inductees into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
"If there was a way to calculate the emotional effect their songs have had on our lives, it would blow our minds," said Roger Murrah, the chairman of the Songwriters Hall.
Murrah presided over Sunday's 40th annual Hall of Fame Dinner & Induction Ceremony, which brought a room full of music dignitaries including Cropper, Alger, Garth Brooks, Country Music Hall of Famer Bill Anderson and Taylor Swift to the Renaissance Nashville Hotel to honor and be honored.
Foster, whose self-penned songs of the 1800s include "Oh! Susanna," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Camptown Races" and "Hard Times Come Again No More," has been called the father of American music.

The following is an extract from the new e-book from the good people at Surreal Football, which you can buy here or from Amazon here. It features contributions from F365's very own Nick Miller and Andi Thomas, as well as The Guardian's Rob Smyth, Callum Hamilton, Ethan Dean-Richards and Alexander Netherton. Enjoy...
My name is Gareth Parker. And this is my goldfish.
Part one
When I was seven years old my favourite goldfish died. His name was Tom. Tom's timing couldn't have been any worse, for his floating fishy corpse was discovered on the morning of an assembly where we were to bring our pets in to show the rest of the school. I was inconsolable.
My father said that he had only ever seen me this upset once before, when he had to drag a hysterical me from a cinema screening of Ghostbusters. Apparently my screams were guttural. As a matter of interest, this cinematic hysteria had not been brought on by fear of the supernatural; more my personal pain at the social autism of Rick Moranis' character. That sh*t was tragic.
Although I struggled to see this through my streaming tears, there was an obvious solution to my peer presentation problem. It came in the shape of my other goldfish, a pitiful specimen called Jerry (I was seven, get to f*ck). After much cajoling, my parents convinced me to substitute the late Tom for the less-than-impressive Jerry, so I sloshed him into a jar and trudged wearily to school. I composed myself as Rachel Altman blithered on about her sh*tty little kitten and Andrew Lavery rabbited on about his creepy-looking bunny. What then followed was a lesson in innocence loss as seven-year-old me screamed a pained soliloquy about death at my bemused schoolmates. It wasn't until Mrs Drazil ('Lizard' spelt backwards, just never gets tired) led me off stage and back to my classroom that some order was restored.
Time went on and I grew more and more attached to Jerry. In fact, it got to a point where I really loved that little orange c*nt. Then he died too.
Part two
When I was eight I really wanted a Soda-Stream. Almost as much as I wanted a Millennium Falcon. My best friend Nick Lowe had both. We once made champagne with a bottle of Blue Nun and drunk it with our plastic Star Wars figures. Good times. But my parents never bought either, and so I was left to stare wistfully as Mrs Lowe whizzed up yet another luminous fizzy delight. I also bitterly, and more than a little intentionally, broke Nick's Falcon. I've never admitted to this before.
Sorry Nick.
I am now 35 and this year, sixteen years after I left my parental home, I decided to buy a Soda-Stream. It was sh*t.
Last time I wrote for Surreal I was asked to write a season preview for my club Arsenal. I told an interwoven tale of my Grandfather's death and my first ever session of self -pleasure. The latter taking place in a hotel in Darlington. I finished my piece with the line "There are many parallels between this story and the state of Arsenal going into next season, but I'm not going to patronise you by drawing them."
Turns out I did, and this is symptomatic of the problem.
Football fans are, almost without exception, idiots. Idiots who have not learnt the simple life lessons often so harshly taught them in childhood. Even Pavlov's f*cking dog got to grips with the whole conditioning thing. Coincidentally, Jason McAteer's entire playing career was built around a simple 'bell and reward' approach.
Fans, despite frequent warnings, become very attached to certain players who wear the crest of their club. Unfortunately these players do not share the fan's love for this badge. Yes, even the ones that make a big show of kissing it. I am not denying that they are disappointed when they lose, after all, they are professional sportspeople whose natural desire is to win, but their pain is personal, selfish even. Put simply, modern footballers are transient. They care little for us and will move on in a heartbeat.
Getting the name of your favourite player on a replica strip should be reserved for pre-pubescents who still need to learn important lessons about life, loss and despair. Plus there's something creepy about a paunchy middle-aged man wearing an ill-fitting shirt with the name of his teenage idol across the shoulders. Having said that, I would go through Jack Wilshere like a train, and there is something undeniably arousing about Olivier Giroud. You've all seen that GIF, right?
The second story's motto is that certain things don't come with a lifetime satisfaction guarantee. One of these is a Soda-Stream. Another is your football team.
When I look around me at games, I see countless faces twisted and contorted into shapes of rage and hatred as they rain expletive-strewn epithets down onto their false idols. This sense of apoplexy is more diluted at home games, drowning in a sea of contemplative apathy, but the fact remains that these expressions are more suited to those of a spoilt child who has broken their favourite toy (get over it, Nick), than a grown adult watching and supporting their football team.
Football fans should learn important life lessons in their early years. They should realise that, just like my goldfish, the good times won't last forever. And just like a Soda-Stream*, your team will not always provide you with satisfaction.
But they don't. They are like children. Ignorant, spoilt, whiny little children. To paraphrase my dear old Gran: things die, get over it and be grateful for what you have, you miserable little pricks. (Just be glad I've not quoted one of her racist ones).
* A Soda-Stream machine is also a pertinent analogy when looking at the modern issue of instant gratification. But that would've involved another story from my youth, and I've already opened that particular window wide enough. Plus I promised not to talk about w*nking this time.

Rush BSC Win Beach Soccer Championship
The Rush BSC Men won the Open Division at the Major Beach Soccer National Championships in Clearwater Beach, Florida over the weekend.
The Rush won their group going 3-0 with wins over St Leo Select (5-1), vs Team Calvary (3-1), and 6-4 vs Bud Soccer. The Rush continued their success in the semifinals with a 4-1 win vs the Tampa Boys in the semi's before their 6-5 triumph over Team Calvary (again) in the final.
The victory in the final over team Calvary was extra sweet as Calvary beat Rush twice in last years initial MBS National Championship.
"During the past two years we have created a good rivalry with Team Calvary. Last year we were on the losing end, this year we turned it around and repaid the favor," commented team captain Jared Dombrowski. "The guys gave a tremendous effort all weekend and their perseverance paid off at the end. It was an amazing experience and the guys truly enjoyed every moment."
Congratulations R.G. Florey, Kyle Speakmon, Lewis Black, Jared Dombrowski, Georgi Petrov, Alex Sheikh, Albert Smith, Luke Froehlich, and Jeff Lenix on your accomplishment!
2012 was the second year of Major Beach Soccer that ended with a tournament champion crowned at the end of the year. Qualifying events happen throughout the year with winners being invited to the National Championship event. Beach Soccer is under the umbrella of the United Soccer League (USL) that also features Rush teams (Colorado and Virginia) in the W-League.

Looks like Miami is trying to get Jones locked up for the next 4 or 5 years. This guy will be great for years to come. Great News.
Here you can find the salaries for the top 10 safeties/players: http://www.spotrac.com/top-salaries/nfl/safety/The Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins are currently trying to sign SS Reshad Jones to a contract extension.
Jones turns 25 in February and is entering the final year of his rookie deal. He emerged as a legit top-five safety in 2012, grading out third in Pro Football Focus' ratings behind only Eric Weddle and Jairus Byrd. Jones is a building block for Kevin Coyle's defense. We'd expect him to target a deal similar to that of Raiders SS Tyvon Branch, who inked a four-year, $26.6 million contract last offseason. Branch's deal contains $17.6 million guaranteed.

Now for some people this may be of little consequence. For some, the honest answer may be a simple, "who cares?". For others, I suspect this question speaks to part of their current frustration. Those who want to see intellect valued over passion in our leaders surely find the current state of dramatic commercials that slams one's opponents in order to gain the electoral upper hand to be a sad commentary on our continued national move away from rationality, education and respect toward hubris, overstated self-confidence and hate. (That is not to say they devalue passion. Clearly, passion is important, but when it is valued over clear thinking our emotions will lead us into very murky and dangerous waters).
For Christians it presents a deeper issue. If you are running for office and are Christian, how do balance a political climate that seems to clearly indicate the need to state the negatives of your opponent in a dramatic, hurtful and attacking way if you wish to be successful with the biblical mandate to love your enemy and to not bare false witness? I am fully aware that the argument will, can and has been made that what they are accusing their opponents of are not false statements, but a simple browsing of FactCheck.org quickly shows that in an effort to be as attacking as possible, the ads are (at best) overstating the truth to the point that they are no longer factual - they are baring false witness.
I am left with one of two conclusions. Either we simply don't know if it is possible because the right person with the right message hasn't shown up yet or that, with the current state of politics in the US, it is not possible for a Christian who strives to practice their beliefs in all that they do to be elected to a national position.
I think Stephen Colbert's counter rally to Stewart's rally, the "March to Keep Fear Alive", holds the key to our current predicament. Unlike so much of the current hubris of our great nation would have us believe, fear is not best overcome with force, power and might. Fear is best overcome with knowledge. Years ago, Colbert coined the phrase "truthiness": "the quality of preferring concepts or facts one wishes to be true, rather than concepts or facts known to be true." Through outlets like Fox News, we have let truthiness pervade our national dialogue, sacrificing the actual truth on the alter of being on the winning side; we've let winning become more important that the truth...actually, we've let winning become a substitute for the truth.
For Christians, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. That does not change simply because you are running for office. While I suspect Jesus would have never ran for office, I am certain that if he had, he would not have stooped to attack ads. For Jesus, the simple truth always sufficed.

Those wishing to attend must arrive early as dock space is usually taken by 10 a.m. Those with canoes and kayaks are urged to put them on shore or at docks in the inlet behind the main landing. Offshore moorings are offered and a security boat will ferry worshippers to and from their moored boat. The chapel can be reserved for private services. Those interested should call for more information.

You've heard about the benefits of healthy fiber before. But you might not think they apply to you. You might associate "healthy fiber" with prunes and constipation.
This misconception grates on researchers. "When I tell people that I study the effects of fiber, they always assume I'm talking constipation," says Kelly A. Tappenden, PhD, RD,a spokeswoman for the American Gastroenterological Association. "I'm not. The subject is much more complex than that."
In fact, there are many benefits of healthy fiber for digestive health. Studies show that fiber is important for people of any age, and it helps treat and prevent a number of conditions -- ranging from severe acid reflux (known as gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD) to inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS) to obesity and diverticulitis. Here's how healthy fiber helps digestive health -- and why you need to get more of it.
Benefits of Healthy Fiber for Digestive Health
Here is the evidence on some of the benefits of healthy fiber for digestive health:
- Regularity. Let's start with the one you knew already. Fiber, particularly insoluble fiber, can help people prevent constipation. It bulks up stools and keeps food moving through the digestive tract.
- Healthy bacteria. You might have heard of probiotoics -- healthy bacteria that live in your intestines. Some types of soluble fiber are considered a prebiotic -- a fuel that feeds these healthy bacteria and increases their numbers, Tappenden says. What do these bacteria do? They boost digestive health. And some studies suggest that they might have far-reaching effects, perhaps improving the immune response and preventing allergy development, Tappenden says.
- Diverticulitis. This painful condition is caused when pockets in the intestines rupture and become infected. One study found that a diet high in healthy fiber -- insoluble fiber in particular -- could reduce the risk of diverticular disease by 40%. Other studies suggest that a high-fiber diet can ease symptoms in people who have the condition and prevent future exacerbations.
- Gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) and ulcers. The evidence is not clear yet. But some studies have suggested that a high-fiber diet is associated with a lower risk of GERD and duodenal ulcers. Some soluble fibers have been linked with lower levels of gastric acid.
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS.) There is some evidence that certain types of fiber supplements – such as those containing psyllium, guar gum, and methylcellulose -- could help with IBS. However, high-fiber wheat bran seems to worsen symptoms.
Other health benefits. Fiber's benefits aren't confined to digestive health. Studies have found that healthy fiber can also lower cholesterol, promote healthy blood sugar levels, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and help people lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
Healthy Fiber Basics
Fiber is the general name for material in vegetables, fruits, and grains that our bodies can't digest fully. There are two terms used to describe fiber:
- Soluble fiber breaks down into a gel in the intestines. As it passes through your GI tract, soluble fiber absorbs water and slows down digestion. Soluble fiber is found in oatmeal, nuts, beans, apples, and blueberries.
- Insoluble fiber doesn't really break down in the intestines. It passes through the body mostly intact. Insoluble fiber speeds up digestion -- it causes what experts call "intestinal hurry." Insoluble fiber is in foods like seeds, grains, and the stringy parts or skins of fruits and vegetables.
For general digestive health, it's important to get plenty of both kinds of fiber.
How Much Healthy Fiber Do You Need?
Experts say that Americans generally get about half of the fiber they need.
- Most women and adolescent girls should get about 25 grams of total fiber -- soluble and insoluble combined.
- Women aged 50 and older should get 21 grams.
- Most men and teenage boys need 38 grams of fiber daily.
- Men aged 50 and older should get about 30 grams.
- Children four to eight years old should get 25 grams a day.
- Toddlers one to three years old should get 19 grams.
Tips to Get More Fiber in Your Diet
Eat more fruits and vegetables. Experts say that you should eat at least 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables each day.
Eat more whole grains. When grains are refined, the fiber is removed. Opt for whole grains when you can. Oatmeal, barley, and brown rice are all good options. You can also add high-fiber bran to many foods, from cereal to meatloaf.
Check the labels. Before you add a food to your shopping cart, check the amount of healthy fiber on the nutrition label. Try to choose items with five grams or more of fiber per serving.
Drink water. If you're adding more healthy fiber to your diet, add more water too, Tappenden says. Without enough water, the extra amounts of some fiber can increase the risk of constipation.
Go slowly. If you want to add more healthy fiber, do it gradually. Don't go overboard and double your intake overnight. That is bound to leave you feeling wretched, bloated, and crampy. Instead, increase your healthy fiber over several weeks.
Consider a supplement. Although experts say it's best to get fiber through whole foods, taking a supplement can fill in the gap if your meals don't give you the recommended amounts of fiber. Don't pick a fiber supplement off the shelf at random. Get advice from a doctor first. Different supplement brands contain different types of fiber, and the best one for you depends on your particular needs.

Other activities and siblings may be problematic but lets give it a try. I'm creating a flyer and will forward it to anyone who can post it at their local park.

I agree weekly is probably agressive...but a nice goal! After we play on the 31st, let's talk and plan for future events. Twice monthly may be doable and any park is fine. Women's league as a piggy-back is great.

I am looking at purchasing the Spoolmate 100 for my Millermatic 175. I do not see any reason to purchase the Retro Fit kit as the Spoolmate 100 comes with the switch and I can build my own connections from the switch. The only connection that I am having a problem with is the 2 pins that need to be added to the trigger plug. Does anyone know if and where these pins can be purchased?

Trouble with Spoolmate 100
Just finished installing the Spoolmate 100 on a MM 175 with the retrofit 300409 switch and all I get is the red temp light going off whenever I switch it to the gun... everything works fine when regular gun is used... anyone have this problem before?

just wanted to make sure. I have a millermatic 175. Get the retrofit kit and the spoolmate 100 and I am in business. Thanks for the reply.
We do not recommend attempting to operate the Spoolmate 100 on any units other than the Millermatic 140's, 180's, 211 and Passport Plus. Installing it on any other units could result in damage to the unit and/or the Spoolmate 100 spoolgun.Kevin Schuh

I suppose that warning applies to the use of ANY spoolgun, right? I've been using a Trafimet gun and control box to spray aluminum with my MM175 with no problem so far (other than the occasional birdnests, which are hard to clear with this gun).
I am not very familiar with the gun you have there but if it has it's own motor control circuitry in the control box you should be fine. The potential for damage comes into play when someone tries to utilize the motor control circuit inside the unit for something it is not designed for.Kevin Schuh

Law enforcement officials said they were pleased with how smoothly the opening weekend of the Tiki Bar in Solomons went, with police making few criminal arrests.
"It was fairly quiet," said Det. Sgt. A. Paton, assistant commander of the Maryland State Police Prince Frederick barrack. "[There was] a very minor number of arrests compared to the number of people that attended the event, which basically says there's a lot of decent people down there not trying to make trouble."
Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans (R) agreed, stating he believed people are being more responsible each year.
"We had a strong contingency of police officers to deter any criminal activity, and I think it worked," Evans said. "It seems like people are being more responsible every year. They're taking precautions; … they're enjoying themselves, but they're doing it safely."
Paton said extra troopers were stationed in the Solomons area "on DUI patrols" the entire weekend, which resulted in seven driving under the influence arrests. Troopers made only one criminal arrest during opening weekend events, Paton said.
On Saturday, two troopers were in the Calypso Bay parking lot when they saw two restaurant employees escorting a man, later identified as Markus R. Jarboe, 22, of Huntingtown, off the property, Paton said. Jarboe appeared to be intoxicated and troopers ordered him to leave the property, which he allegedly refused to do.
The troopers then tried to escort him from the property when Jarboe allegedly began yelling. Jarboe then allegedly grabbed one of the troopers, Paton said. Troopers arrested him and charged him with second-degree assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and failure to obey a lawful order.
From Friday afternoon to Sunday morning, Calvert sheriff's deputies arrested five people for driving under the influence, Evans said, and arrested five people for disorderly behavior during opening weekend events.
On Friday, Brian C. McDaniel, 38, of Port Charlotte, Fla., was arrested and charged for failing to obey a lawful order after he was told several times to leave the Tiki Bar property, which he allgedly refused to do. Charles E. Reithmeyer, 57, of Leonardtown also was arrested Friday for disorderly conduct.
On Saturday, Stanley P. Drummond III, 26, of Landover, was arrested and charged with failure to obey a lawful order and disorderly conduct after he was told repeatedly to leave the Tiki Bar for screaming at other people but refused to do so and then allegedly became confrontational. David A. Hall, 24, of Cheltenham also was arrested Saturday for failing to obey a lawful order.
Ronald M. Holt Sr., 35, of Lexington Park was arrested Sunday and charged with second-degree assault.
