Biofuels, beer and Boardwalk Empire

From the Marketplace datebook, here’s what’s coming up April 8:

• In Washington, the Labor Department releases its monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey.

• The Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee holds a hearing on “Advanced Biofuels: Creating Jobs and Lower Prices at the Pump.”

• The Senate Finance Committee is scheduled to discuss “Protecting Taxpayers from Incompetent and Unethical Return Preparers.”

• I know it’s only the beginning of the week, but let’s talk about beer. The Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America gets underway in Denver. About 7,000 attendees are expected.

• And those following “Boardwalk Empire” saw her brew up some trouble last season. Actress Patricia Arquette turns 46.
