Broomfield saw job growth from food-related companies in 2012, especially those with a national presence or those that put an emphasis on organic or natural products, Martinez said.
Job-creating businesses mentioned in the poll included start-up company Kitchen Coop, an incubator and manufacturing site for 11 up-and-coming organic and natural food businesses, such as nut butter company Kolat.
Kitchen Coop founder Jeff Greenberg said his goal was to create an efficient, scalable and flexible space where small companies could grow their businesses. Smaller organic or natural foods are a big part of the Kitchen Coop model.
A larger company that contributes to that is White Wave Foods, a Broomfield company that sells brands such as Horizon brand organic milk and Silk soy milk.
The company has approximately 500 employees, according to its website.
The CNN poll also highlighted food company Famous Brands International, the maker of Mrs. Fields cookies and TCBY frozen yogurt. The company recently relocated its headquarters, franchisee-training center and flagship store to Broomfield earlier this year, bringing 40 jobs to Broomfield.
Craft brewing makes up another important part of the Broomfield job growth sphere, Martinez said.
Big Choice Brewing, Broomfield's only microbrewery, opened in 2012 and contributed to start-up job growth in the area, Martinez said. The brewery now cans its popular Disconnected Red beer, which recently appeared in liquor stores in the area.
"We're starting small, just getting beer in peoples' hands" said co-owner Nathaniel Miller in an interview ahead of the brewery's opening last year.
Martinez said CraftWorks Restaurants & Breweries Inc., which operates brewpubs and restaurants such as Old Chicago and Rock Bottom, announced its move to Broomfield from Louisville at the end of 2012, too.
Though foodies might find good job opportunities in Broomfield, it's not the only industry that has carried Broomfield's job growth in recent years.
The National Archives moved its Colorado office from Lakewood to Broomfield in 2012, bringing 40 federal jobs to the new North Park-area facility.
Martinez said Broomfield also has an anticipated job-creator in Active Network, an event registration software company that is consolidating several of its operations in Broomfield. The company had about 100 employees before consolidating its business and moving to Broomfield, but plans to hire 200 employees over the n...
Active Network is located in the Interlocken area along U.S. 36. Broomfield expects to see more growth in that region and in Broomfield's northern neighborhoods.
"In 2013, I think we're going to see a lot more movement as far as companies looking to relocate to Broomfield, (especially) the U.S. 36 corridor and the North Park area," he said.
The CNN Money poll indicated that Broomfield also is an ideal workplace for relocation or new job growth because of its location near the University of Colorado and 16 federal science, research and engineering centers, such as Ball Aerospace.
For the "Where the Jobs Are" list, CNN Money chose places where job and population growth is increasing, and where unemployment was below the national average.
David Cameron and other leading pro-Europeans do not care about the effects of mass migration on working families because they are so rich, according to a cabinet minister.
Priti Patel claims the “luxury” lifestyles of campaigners who want to stay in the EU mean they are “insulated” from the impact of rising immigration on the daily lives of millions of Britons.
She says it is “shameful” that the Remain campaign leaders fail to consider the struggles of families who, unlike them, cannot afford private health care or fee-paying schools.
Although she does not directly name Mr Cameron and George Osborne, she repeatedly makes clear she is aiming her criticism at the “leaders” of the Remain campaign, who include the Prime Minister and the Chancellor.
In remarks that will deepen the divide at the top of the Tory Party, Ms Patel claims many Remain campaigners only see the benefits of migration, such as cheap domestic help and willing tradesmen.
But the Conservatives will never be able to honour their election promise to cut migration because it is impossible to control the border while Britain is in the EU, she says.
In an article for The Telegraph website, Ms Patel, the employment minister, writes: “It’s shameful that those leading the pro-EU campaign fail to care for those who do not have their advantages.
Downing Street said Ms Patel’s intervention was an attempt to “distract” voters’ attention away from the economic risk of leaving the EU.
Her comments will be seen as sign of how the campaign is becoming increasingly personal.
Both Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne come from wealthy backgrounds and attended independent schools.
Last week, Mr Cameron infuriated many Eurosceptics by suggesting that voting to Leave the EU was not a “moral” choice in the referendum.
Migration policy is a critical battleground in the referendum and is widely seen as the most potent weapon in the Leave campaign’s armoury, in part because the Government has failed to meet its target to cut net migration to the “tens of thousands”.
Figures last week showed net migration – the difference between the numbers arriving and leaving Britain – stood at 333,000 last year.
A record 184,000 more EU migrants entered the country than left during 2015.
Mr Cameron has hit back, accusing Leave campaigners of offending Muslims by claiming that Turks are criminals and terrorists who will come to the UK if Britain stays in the EU.
“I do find it concerning the way that the Leave campaign are talking about Turkish people in this referendum,” he told Muslim News.
“Many British Muslims will be offended by the way they are trying to frighten people. I think it’s a sign of desperation.” But Ms Patel argues immigration would increase when Turkey, Albania and other countries join the EU.
“For the millions of Britons who feel the consequences every day, this rate of growth cannot continue,” she writes in her article.
“For many of those arguing for Remain, the day-to-day consequences of this loss of control are pretty much all gain and no pain: inexpensive domestic help, willing tradesmen and convenient, cheap travel.
“So when Remain campaigners talk about the economy, they don’t think about working people’s personal finances – the potential hit to their pay packets.
“If you have private wealth or if you work for Goldman Sachs you’ll be fine. But when public services are under pressure, it is those people who do not have the luxury of being able to afford the alternatives who are most vulnerable.
Ms Patel, the daughter of Indian Gujaratis who came to Britain in the 1970s, intervened as the referendum campaign entered its final four weeks.
Loyalty to the Prime Minister among Eurosceptic Tories is being pushed to breaking point by the campaign.
Andrew Bridgen, a senior Conservative MP, declared that Mr Cameron was “finished” as party leader, predicting that he would have to resign or be ousted because Tory MPs were so angry.
Two new books written by local radio personalities have hit the shelves, and they may be perfect for your favorite radio fan.
I am awaiting a convenient time for the both of us to meet, so I can interview him regarding his new book, but one great gift idea for this holiday season is Neil Ross’ “Vocal Recall,” an autobiography of sorts that tells the story of Ross’ life in radio and his transition to a career that actually pays real money: voi...
Ross has a long history on both radio and voiceover. I remember first hearing him as “Natural Neil” on KZLA (now KBUE, 94.3 FM), known at the time as simply “Ninety-Four FM” and playing soft rock during that format’s heyday. He also worked at such varied stations as KYA/San Francisco, KCBQ/San Diego and the late-great ...
The book, which to a radio geek is hard to put down due to the intelligent writing and the immaculate memory of Ross, traces his history through radio, the Navy and into voiceover announcing – a career that brought him as high as announcing for the Academy Awards and numerous other television programs.
I’ll save the rest of my take for later, but I highly recommend the book, which is available in paperback and an Amazon Kindle edition.
I haven’t read this one yet, but this book by Larry McCabe, known on the air as Larry McKay at KHJ (930 AM) and many other stations in Los Angeles, is a “humorous journal of my many adventures over my career,” according to the author. “You’ll find that I was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time—sor...
I hope to review it soon; it too is available in paperback and as a Kindle.
“I’ve wanted a train set for a long time,” SiriusXM Sixties on (Channel) 6 afternoon host Shotgun Tom Kelly told me a long time ago. Now he has one, and he wants to show it to you.
Through the production magic of retired ((KFI, KOST, KRTH, KTWV) programmer Jhani Kaye — who has a pretty nifty train set himself — Kelly has put his set on display via YouTube. Just search for “Shotgun Tom Kelly’s HO Train Layout” and you’ll see it not only in action, but a time-lapse of it being built.
Howard Stern is radio’s highest-paid personality, according to Forbes Magazine, earning an estimated $90 million in 2018. This beats out Rush Limbaugh who “only” earned $84.5 million, Ryan Seacrest ($74 million), Sean Hannity ($36 million) and Glenn Beck ($8.5 million) rounded out the top five.
Not all of the salaries are from radio itself. Seacrest obviously has television as well, Hannity has a cable television show, Limbaugh has an online subscription service and Beck has a media publishing company, for example.
KOST (103.5 FM) morning host Ellen K has been selected to announce the 61st Grammy Awards to be held February 10th of next year.
KFMB/San Diego (100.7 FM) has dropped “rock” in favor of adult contemporary music using the name “100.7 San Diego.” Catchy.
KFI (640 AM) held its 8th annual PastaThon last Friday, once again raising money to help Chef Bruno Serato’s “Caterina’s Club” feed hungry children.
Combining a large inventory and a varying audience Helping Hands Thrift Shop is hosting a rummage sale Friday and Saturday.
The store hosted a rummage sale in February to reiterate the partnership with Carson Valley United Methodist Church.
"We have a lot of things that we would like to move," Helping Hands Manager Mary Marquez said. "When we have a rummage sale we attract a much different clientele. We'd like to try and reach out to everyone."
Helping Hands hosts rummage sales at the church to allow for more shopping space.
The sale will be 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday.
"We have been working very diligently to try and get new things into the store," Marquez said. "Hopefully we can draw a big crowd and make some money so we can continue to give back to the community."
For more information call Marquez at the shop at 782-9410.
Linux won't make an impact on the desktop in the near future, but it will beat Microsoft's Windows all the same in the long run, according to Red Hat chairman Bob Young.
Linux is shifting steadily from its days of hype as a cure-all for the ills of the computer industry to a more practical focus. For Red Hat, that means putting the emphasis increasingly on two key areas: shifting enterprises from Unix to Linux, and building its presence in the embedded market, Young told ZDNet UK.
Linux on the desktop would be nice, but it just isn't a priority -- and open source software doesn't need it, Red Hat believes. Much of the early hype around Linux, which is based on an open source development model that keeps any single company from controlling it, was based on the notion that the software could event...
The PC industry is steadily moving away from a desktop-centric universe towards a model where the functionality comes from Internet services, Young says, and open source is necessary for the Internet to work as well as it does. "In order for all the players on (the Internet) to play fair with each other, it has to be o...
Microsoft, too, recognises that the Internet is the future of computing. But Young believes Microsoft's attempts to install its own .Net protocols as the de facto standards on which future Internet services will be based are doomed to failure. In fact, he believes the future of computing will look a lot like the "Netwo...
"It's one thing to be right, but it's another thing to be right in the right decade," he quipped. "It will happen."
Red Hat doesn't necessarily see the economy improving soon, but that might not be such a bad thing when selling Linux to big corporations. "IT budgets have been slashed significantly. That doesn't mean the functionality and performance (requirements) have changed any," said James Prasad, Red Hat's European vice preside...
Red Hat is competing with Microsoft to convert Unix customers, but the two companies are in more direct conflict in the embedded market, which refers to just about every digital device that isn't a PC.
As embedded devices like microwave ovens, televisions and VCRs start to connect to the Internet, they will need an operating system that can talk to all kinds of other software, Young says. Unlike Microsoft, which is targeting the market with Windows CE .Net and Windows Embedded, Linux is capable of scaling to fit anyt...
"We can put a server operating system in that microwave oven for pennies," Young said.
Jamaica is a far happier place than it was a year ago, according to results from the World Happines Report 2018.
Jamaica is ranked as the 56th happiest country in the world, below the island states of Japan (54) and Mauritius (55) and just above South Korea (57), according to the UN-supported report, which was released on Wednesday.
That compares to a ranking of 76 for last year's report — an improvement of 20 spaces. Jamaica's old space is now taken by Hong Kong.
The improvement represents a turnaround from the 2016 report when Jamaica had the 12th largest rate of decline in happiness among the countries in the report — and ranked at 73.
The World Happiness Report 2018 surveys the state of global happiness and ranks 156 countries by their happiness level, by examining elements such as GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, perceived corruption and generosity.
Jamaicans are significantly happier than people from the island of Hispaniola, with the Dominican Republic ranked at 83 — compared to 86 last year, and Haiti ranked close to the bottom at 148, compared to 145 last year.
But Jamaica was not the happiest Caribbean state by a long shot. Trinidad and Tobago was ranked at 38, between Colombia (37) and Slovakia (39). Fellow Caricom member Belize also scored higher, at 49.
Other Central American countries with Caribbean shores also ranked much higher, with Costa Rica ranked at 13 Mexico at 24, Panama at 27, Guatemala at 30 and Nicaragua at 41. Honduras was an exception, scoring lower than Jamaica at 72.
But the country with the biggest fall in happiness in the Western hemisphere was Venezuela, which lost as many spaces as Jamaica gained, falling from 82 to 102.
Jamaica scored higher than every African country bar Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean 2,000 kilometres off the coast of Africa, but normally considered to be a part of that continent. The happiest country on the African continent is Libya ranked at 70, followed by Algeria at 84 and Morocco at 85.
The happiest sub-Saharan country is Nigeria at 91, followed by Somalia at 98 and Cameroon at 99. South Africa ranked at 105, with Ghana at 108 and Ethiopia ranked at 127.
The happiest country on Earth according to the report is Finland, which took the number one spot form last year's Norway. Also in the top five was Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.
The United States saw its happiness rating slip slightly from 14 to 18, one place above a stable UK at 19, while Canada remained stable at 7.
Effort is attempt to comply with European antitrust decision; would force Google to bid against rivals in the AdWords auction as a standalone entity.
According to Bloomberg, Google is going to create a separate business unit to manage shopping content in search results to comply with the European Commission’s recent antitrust decision. This unit will reportedly be required to compete in the auction against shopping competitors.
The unit will apparently use its own budget and revenues to bid in the auction and will only exist in the EU. Shopping search will continue as is in other markets, including the US.
Reuters had earlier reported that Google was going to “display rival shopping comparison sites via an auction.” That approach appeared to be similar to the earlier “rival links” proposal that failed to settle the antitrust dispute before the formal complaint (statement of objections) was filed in 2015.
Google was fined roughly $2.7 billion (€2.4 billion) for abuse of market position in shopping search. The fine was the largest antitrust penalty in EU history. The previous record was $1.3 billion against Intel. As part of the decision, Google is compelled to offer a remedy, even as it appeals that decision. Failure to...
The specifics in the Bloomberg article suggest the new business unit concept is an updated proposal vs. the earlier Reuters report. However, Reuters may have incompletely or inaccurately described the Google proposal.
According to Bloomberg’s report, the new configuration will feature 10 slots that would be made available through the auction. Each result would display the name of the shopping site offering the product and link to those websites.
Google Shopping results will be branded “by Google,” and those from other sites will be labeled accordingly.
LEE Rigby's mum has begged Parcelforce not to sack a driver who joked about her son's brutal murder.
Jason McLean, 27, shared a photo of drummer Fusilier Rigby, 25, with the caption: "He's not drumming any more, is he?"
Hundreds of heroic veterans have called for the driver to be axed, but Lee's devastated mum has urged Parcelforce boss Gary Simpson not to sack him.
Instead, Lyn Rigby has asked McLean to write a letter of apology to her family, according to the Sunday People.
She said: "Sacking this man resolves nothing and I’m not a spiteful person so I have asked Mr Simpson to give him another chance."
Lyn continued: "Mr Simpson told me McLean would face a disciplinary hearing which could lead to his dismissal.
“However, I have asked him to spare this lad’s job if he is willing to make amends and say sorry."
