Whenever we hit the streets of our West Coast playground, aka Los Angeles, it doesn't take long for our late-night food cravings kick in. Lucky for us, this is a city of unreal international comfort food for hungry night owls. From downtown to Venice, prepare to chow down and fuel up at these five killer joints as you and your teammates go through another legendary night out in the City of Angels…
The Flavour: International food bazaar meets a classic delicatessen. Umamicatessen is actually comprised of two different kitchens, a donut and dessert bakery, a cocktail bar and a coffee bar.
Your Taste Buds Will Bow Down to You Over: Thin Fries with Ham Puree, the Cure Bagel (the most satisfying bagel ever with salmon and dill cream cheese), the Shrimp Umami Burger (a wild Japanese shrimp burger patty), and the Pastrami sandwich.
Sweet Tooth It Out On: A Tres Leches donut topped with caramel sauce and straight up whip cream.
For Extra Cocktail Fun: The Urban Trader (rum, apricot liqueur, orgeat, pineapple, lime juice), The Velvet Mule (beluga vodka, velvet falernum, fresh lime juice), and the Bourbon Pig (bacon fat washed Bulleit bourbon) are three reasons why their Back Bar is a solid AHA favourite.
The 'Hood: Downtown LA
Website: www.umami.com/umamicatessen
Ikemen Dip Ramen
The Flavour: Japanese ramen taken to another dimension as Ikemen has their own custom created style of ramen known as "dip ramen." Translation: Your noodles and toppings are served separately from the broth, and you dip the chewy thick noodles into the broth.
You're Gonna Keep Coming Back For: The Ikemen Dip (tokotsu au jus mixed with green onions and artisan bonito powder with either chicken or pork) and a steaming bowl of classic Chasu Pork Ramen (chicken broth, green onions, thin noodles and pork).
Give Kudos to: The beyond cool Japanese Ikemen (which means suave and hot guy) staff in their vests, skinny ties and fedoras as they dish out your dip ramen with insane precision.
The 'Hood: Hollywood
Website: www.ikemenhollywood.com
The Flavour: German sausage and Belgian beer bar that gets it done and then some.
You'll Drool Over and Later Dream About: The classic Bratwurst sandwich, the gourmet Mango Jalapeno sausage and the Belgian fries with white truffle oil glaze.
Wash it Happily Down With: A Chimay White Belgian Draft Beer, A German Hopfen-Weiss Bottle Beer or Fentimans Seville Orange Jigger soda.
The 'Hood: Venice and Downtown LA
Website: www.wurstkuche.com
Beer Belly
The Flavour: The serious deliciousness that happens when a Korean fusion food boutique and a craft beer space join forces.
Your Future Late Night Food Addiction Is Gonna Be: Duck fat fries with raspberry mustard sauce and Jidori hot wings washed down with their stellar selection of beer.
Lose Yourself In The Sugar High Greatness Of: Deep-fried Oreos with Nutella and chocolate chip ice cream.
The 'Hood: Koreatown
Website: beerbellyla.com
Frida Tacos
The Flavour: Mexican street food only the way LA can dish it up.
You'll Never Go Wrong When You Devour: The carnitas torta sandwich and the asada tacos are nothing short of perfection.
Get Sweet On: The simple and satisfying sugary goodness of churros.
The 'Hood: Melrose (Mid-city)
Website: fridatacos.com
What's your favourite spot for a late-night food fix? Let us know!

Scientists are now one step closer to understanding how HIV hides in cells and rears its ugly head once patients stop taking combination drug therapy, which can suppress viral loads to undetectable levels. The phenomenon reflects the existence of hidden populations of latently infected cells. As a result, patients must remain on therapy for life. Eradication of these cells could lead to a cure for HIV infection. However, researchers have been hampered by their inability to identify them.

Elderly patients may receive life-saving care by being hospitalized, but one of the costs may be a loss of independence after returning home. That is the finding of a study by researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC). "More than a third of the elderly in our study were less able to care for themselves after being in the hospital than before the illness that caused their hospitalization in the first place," said the study's lead author, Kenneth Covinsky, MD, MPH, staff physician at the SFVAMC and UCSF assistant professor of medicine.

Message from the Ramsar Convention Secretariat on the occasion of World Migratory Bird Day, 8-9 May 2010
Never has it been more urgent to raise awareness worldwide of the phenomenon of bird migrations: today we can still enjoy this experience of the natural world – but for how much longer?
This year's World Migratory Bird Day focus on globally threatened migratory birds recognizes the stark messages about persistent and alarming decline in many of these species and populations, including from the work of the 2010 Biodiversity Indicators Partnership (BIP). For many migratory species, whether globally threatened or not, we are certainly not moving towards achieving the commitment made by the world's governments to by 2010 to significantly reduce the rate of loss of biological diversity.
The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands has, since its inception and signing in 1971 as the first of the modern global environmental agreements, paid particular attention to migratory waterbirds, and both in the Convention text itself and numerous subsequent decisions by its member governments, and expects its Contracting Parties to work together at the flyway scale to maintain waterbird populations. The close collaborations between Ramsar and the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), and with the more recent African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA), reflects the recognition that a country working to wisely use and maintain the ecological character of its wetlands, so that they remain a network of safe havens for migratory waterbirds, is directly delivering harmonized implementation of these intergovernmental instruments. Indeed, Ramsar's mechanism of designating Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar sites) delivers a key mechanism for this delivery to all three instruments, and of the current 1888 Ramsar sites (covering over 185 million hectares of wetlands worldwide) 833 (44% of all sites, covering almost 118 million hectares of wetland)have been specifically designated as key sites for migratory waterbirds. The ongoing Wings over Wetlands (WOW) project is also designed to directly provide flyway, regional and in-country support and capacity for delivering both AEWA and the Ramsar Convention.
Yet despite all this effort, migratory waterbirds are in serious - and increasingly serious - trouble, with Wetlands International reporting in their most recent edition of Waterbird Population Estimates that of waterbird populations with a trend estimate, 40% were decreasing and only 17% increasing – and recent new information suggests that even this may be a underestimate of the problem. For example assessment of trends in global shorebird populations has found that their status was already poor in the 1980s, and since then has been in persistent and accelerating decline, with rate of decline about four times faster since the 1990s than earlier, and with populations dependent on the Central Asian and East Asian-Australasia flyways almost all in decline. However, this assessment has also found that there is some good news: that globally threatened shorebirds have been improving in status, particular as a consequence of conservation actions on the ground for island endemic (non-migratory) species.
In contrast, it is the species and populations that are not currently on the Red List of Globally Threatened Species that are in most serious decline, and much more attention to reversing their trends is urgently needed – before they end up becoming Red Listed as an admission of our failure to safeguard formerly healthy populations. We know what is driving these declines – chiefly the continuing and widely reported destruction of wetland habitats, both inland and coastal, probably in some regions exacerbated by hunting - and so what needs to be done to halt or reverse the trend.
World Migratory Bird Day provides the opportunity to both celebrate the beauty of these animals and their spectacular migrations, to highlight their plight and to act to better safeguard them in the future. On behalf of the Ramsar Secretariat I congratulate CMS and AEWA on their initiative and encourage all of the Ramsar Convention family to participate in the celebrations this weekend.

The Goldwater Institute filed a legal challenge Thursday morning to stop a new law to expand Medicaid in Arizona next year.
The conservative public policy advocacy group said 36 Arizona legislators and three citizens joined the lawsuit that sues Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer over the law, claiming it's in violation of Proposition 108 passed by Arizona voters in 1992 that requires a two-thirds majority of legislators whenever levying a tax increase.
Opponents failed Wednesday to get enough signatures to block the law with a referendum.
The institute said a tax on hospitals to pay for the expansion of the program known as AHCCCS is unconstitutional.
Brewer had bipartisan support when she pushed the Medicaid expansion measure through the state Legislature earlier this year.
She said the group's failure to get the signatures for the petition is validation that voters agreed her plan was right for the state's future.
The Goldwater Institute maintains that in order to qualify for funding, federal law requires Arizona to collect the tax from hospitals, regardless of whether they accept Medicaid payments.
The institute said that when Brewer and key allies realized they were unable to muster the two-thirds majority required by the Arizona state constitution to pass expansion, they attempted to dodge Proposition 108's requirements by surrendering the Legislature's taxing power to the director of AHCCCS, an unelected bureaucrat.

Cascade XC - Portage, Wisconsin - Wisconsin Off-Road Series
Neff and Strigel Win WORS Cascade XC
Report by Todd Nutter
The Subaru Sponsored Wisconsin Off Road Series (WORS)
has been a major player in the mountain bike scene for over two decades. A lot
of the reason for the success of WORS is because the series has adapted well to
changes over the years. This weekend could not have proved that any better.
Throughout the history of WORS, races have come and gone as well as changed
formats several times. In 2013, WORS added the Cascade XC in Portage Wisconsin.
Not only was this event new for the regular WORS racers, but it was also the
first event for the newly formed WIN Cycling. WIN Cycling is the Wisconsin
Interscholastic mountain bike series for high school and junior high race
The event started on Saturday September 28th with the
WIN Cycling portion of the event. Kids from all over the state got their first
chance to race with an affiliation to their school. WORS Director, Don Edberg,
has been coaching and developing a team with his local high school, Steven�s
Point Area Senior High (SPASH). The SPASH team came out with good attendance
along with several other area high school teams. Races varied on length between
4-12 miles depending on the category, which included middle school, junior
varsity and varsity.
The second day brought the rest of the WORS racers to
the starting line. This included the Belgioioso Women�s Elite field as they
climbed the many switchbacks of Cascade Mountain. Abby Strigel (Honey Stinger/
Bontrager) came out to get the points for her 8th WORS race. With yet another
win under her belt, Abby has all but locked up the series overall win. Not far
behind in the race was Lisa Krayer (Adventure 212/Specialized). Strigel and
Krayer both had the advantage of living about half an hour from the venue and
had some time to become familiar with the new course before the race. In a
heated battle for 3rd place, Andrea Matter (Gear Grinder) and Sarah Agena (Twin
6/ Cider Boys) fought for position. In the end, Matter out-climbed Agena to
lock down the 3rd step of the podium. Agena, who also assists in coaching the
girls of the SPASH mountain bike team, grabbed her third 4th place finish of
the season.
The Belgioioso Men�s race once again showed some new
faces in the lead. Isaac Neff (5Nines/ Cannondale) took his first win of the
season. The lead group at the start of the race included Neff along with Corey
Stelljes (RACC/ Gear Grinder), Nathan Guerra (Vision Pro Cycling), Joseph
Maloney (KS Energy Services/ Team Wisconsin) and Justin Piontek (Titletown
Flyers). Maloney pushed hard in the beginning, but burned his matches quickly
since he recently returned from racing in China. Stelljes and Neff led most of
the race while Guerra followed in third and Piontek chased them down. Neff said
that he had a slow start to his season. With cyclocross as his main discipline,
Neff�s fitness is developing later in the summer than someone that focuses more
on cross country racing. This is to be his last WORS event of the year, which
was a win. Stelljes had a bit of bad luck as he tried to hang with Neff and
ended up burping some air from his front tire. After a few stops to try to add
pressure, he was eventually overtaken by Guerra for 2nd place. Stelljes
cautiously rolled in with only about 10 pounds of pressure. Piontek took his
best finish so far in the 2013 season with this 4th place.
WORS will conclude the 2013 next weekend in Sheboygan, WI with
the Wigwam Challenge. For more information please visit www.wors.org and www.wincycling.org.

Choose the type of property:
There are two types of vacation rental properties:
Villa - a villa is an independent house (not shared with other guests or with the owners) situated near or in a village or in the countryside. Usually the garden, swimming-pool and tennis court in a villa are private to the guests unless differently specified. Normally a villa can be rented on a weekly base (from Saturday to Saturday).
Apartments - the apartment is normally a portion of a house in a building (it can be a castle, a farmhouse, portion of a villa, etc.). In this case outdoor areas, common areas, garden, swimming-pool, tennis court, etc. are shared with the owners or with other guests. In this case the units of a property can be two or more. In our descriptions we always mention the number of units which are enclosed in the structure (the apartments can be rented either on a weekly base (from Saturday to Saturday) or on a daily base with a minimum of days specified according to each single unit.
How to Book a Villa - Farmhouse, B&B or Apartment.
►Browse the selections - We offer more than 400 properties for rent so it's easy to quickly become overwhelmed with the choices. Our search engine can help pinpoint all the properties that match your requirements. You can search by area, price range, date, number of people, number of bedrooms and number of bathrooms. You can further drill down by selecting the amenities you desires such as pool, phone, TV, accessible to disabled guests and many more. Also be sure to check the online availability calendar for each property. Read the policy regarding the property. In most cases, the policies are found on the pricing page. Become familiar with the cancellation and payment policy.
►Make a list - We suggest you to use the Notepad feature of the website to keep track of all the properties that are of interest to you. Once you have narrowed your search down to a few properties (we suggest choosing 2-3 properties) make a list of all your questions regarding each property.
►Ask your questions - Now you have two options, you can either e-mail your questions to us or you can give us a call to +39-055-535-7096. Many times a quick phone call (yes, our staff speaks English, French, German and Italian) will be the fastest and easiest way to get the information you need. If you have only a few questions we suggest a phone call (we remind you that each property in our program has been visited and checked by our staff, so we know these houses personally).
However, if you have several questions regarding multiple properties an email would be a better choice. This will give us time to contact the property owner, if necessary, and compile all your answers for an accurate reply. To send an email simply go to the property page then select the 'Information request' option. A request information form will open. Please complete one form for each property selected. We answer all requests promptly, within 24 hours or less.
►Finalize your selection - After you receive the answers to your question you will need to decide on the best property for your individual needs. If you are still unable to decide between a few properties we will be more than happy to help you choose. At this point, a phone call is always the best way to resolve the issues. Of course time zone issues may make a phone impossible, in this case, an email is welcome.
►Pay the deposit - This is very important because while we can hold a property for four days while you decide, in order to be fair to the other renters looking at the same property, we cannot hold properties indefinitely. No reservation is final until a deposit is received. Deposits can be paid online through a secure web page with credit card. The deposit amount is 25% of the total rental price. The actual details can be found in the property description in the pricing section. A booking confirmation will be sent to you electronically once the deposit has been paid.
►Pay the balance - The total balance of your rental must be paid 45 days prior your arrival.
►Arrival - Upon arriving at the property you will be greeted by the owner or manager unless other arrangements have been made beforehand, they will go over the details of the property with you. A security deposit will need to be paid on the spot. This deposit will be refunded at your departure by the owner/manager if no damages have occurred. There may be extra charges to be paid 'on the spot' due for such things as heating, use of the phone, electricity, final cleaning etc. This varies from property to property so please check the details of each property to be familiar with your responsibilities.
There is nothing left to do now but... ENJOY Your Vacation with a PosarelliVillas house!

Goodnight Ipad: A Parody for the Next Generationby Ann Droyd
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In a bright buzzing room, in the glow of the moon-and iPhones and Androids and Blackberries too-it is time to say goodnight...
Modern life is abuzz. There are huge LCD WiFi HD TVs and Facebook requests and thumbs tapping texts and new viral clips of cats doing flips. Wouldn't it be nice to say goodnight to all that? Like the rest of us who cannot resist just a few more scrolls and clicks, you may find yourself ready for bed while still clinging to your electronics long after dark. This book, which is made of paper, is a reminder for the child in all of us to power down at the end of the day. This hilarious parody not only pokes loving fun at the bygone quiet of the original classic, but also at our modern plugged-in lives. It will make you laugh, and it will also help you put yourself and your machines to sleep. Don't worry, though. Your gadgets will be waiting for you, fully charged, in the morning.
"Goodnight Moon gets millennial in this plugged-in parody from the aptly named Ann Droyd, aka David Milgrim (Eddie Gets Ready for School). The action happens not 'in the great green room,' with its quaint fireplace, but 'in the bright buzzing room,' with a TV's fake hearth. Rather than a rotary telephone and a red balloon, 'There was an iPad/ And a kid playing Doom/ And a screensaver of — / A bird launching over the moon.' (Naturally, the bird is an Angry one.) Playful cartoons picture a family of antic bunnies, each texting or tweeting, 'And a fed-up old woman/ Who was trying to sleep.' The grumpy granny begins tossing digital distractions out the window, as her desperate family members — of all ages — cling to her housecoat and beg her to relent: 'Goodnight LOLs/ Goodnight MP3s/ Goodnight LCD Wi-FI HDTV.' Outside, electronic gear lies heaped outside other windows, too, screens aglow. Milgrim mimes the original with perfect pitch, capturing us at our most technology- dependent (there's even 'a viral clip of a cat doing flips'). Parents who bought Go the F*ck to Sleep might invest in this for future reference. All ages." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
From the New York Timesand#150;bestselling author of Goodnight iPad comes a new and delightfully tech-obsessed parody of a beloved classic for children and adults alike.
When the text of Goodnight Nanny-cam appeared online in the New Yorkerand#8217;s and#147;Shouts and Murmursand#8221; column, it garnered 100,000 hits and more than 15,000 Facebook likes in a matter of days. Filled with sly references to BPA-free bottles, Baby Einstein DVDs, and toddler tutors, Jen Nessel and Liz Ratnerand#8217;s send-up of the beloved childrenand#8217;s classic wittily skewers our modern culture of over-parenting. Parodies of Goodnight Moon are always popular, and Goodnight Nanny-cam is a gorgeously illustrated gift thatand#8217;s guaranteed to have alpha parents everywhere laughingand#151;and cringingand#151;in recognition.

Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo said Wednesday he is symptom-free after suffering a concussion in mid-August and fully expects to play again this season.
The 41-year-old pivot is eligible to come off the nine-game injured list in time to face the Toronto Argonauts in the last game of the regular season.
I've been adding to my workload week in and week out and I know I'll be coming off the nine-game (injured list) going into Week 18 and that's my goal right now is to get ready to play for that game," said Calvillo.
Calvillo suffered the concussion in a game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on August 17 when his head hit the turf at Mosaic Stadium. He is also recovering from a partially torn rotator cuff.
"The toughest part is there's no timeline on cussions. When you pull a hamstring or hurt your shoulder, it's four-to-six weeks or whatever and you know that's a goal," added Calvillo. "With a concussion, it's what your body tells you."
The Alouettes are currently in third place in the East Division and could clinch a playoff spot with a win against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thanksgiving Day.

ATA understands how critical it is to create new products that will appeal to the market and it is their job to provide market access and ensure that production methods are eco-effective. In addition, they train artisans to be entrepreneurial in order to remain competitive in the global marketplace. ATA is widely known for providing the most current and up-to-date market information.

We are deeply touched by Founder Nisreen Gardner's thoughtfulness! Hopefully everyone has a wonderful and heart-warming Valentine's Day. It isn't about what you get, but what you give, and the thought is always what counts.
Paisley Prints
Extremely excited to hear paisley prints are rejoining us in fashion this year. Jil Sander showed us glimpses of this in January but i can't wait to see who else gives a take on it and more so how the high street will interpret this. Welcome back paisley!

We love anything paisley and this pattern is plain, simple, yet fun!

Jessica's "Happy Modern" Room
Room for Color Contest
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Jessica
- Location:
- Silver Spring, MD
- Division:
- Light
- Inspiration for my palette:
- Our home was built post-war in 1956. It has some really unique features sprinkled throughout. I wanted the living room to be a comfy place that reflected who we are. I picked the gray as a peaceful base and accented the room with pops of happiness- colors that reminded me of our adventures and experiences through life together. It all started with the bright yellow door...
- Colors used in my room
- The color in our living room is Silver Screen by Behr. I love gray because it provides a nice peaceful base for a room. It's light, modern and refreshing. I also used dark gray, black, white and teal accents.
- Tips for using color successfully
- Go with your heart because you know it's always right! Pair your colors with reflections of your personality. Don't be afraid to try something new...that's what life is all about!

The person who saw the painted Broyhill Saga is gonna flip when they see the painted Broyhill Brasilia :) Love the yellow door!
I am sad that Brasilia is painted, but the color is awesome! I really love the mix of pieces in this room.
I think the hutch looks FABULOUS that color, but I understand those are getting harder and harder to find, so many will disagree. (but I still love it.)
I love this room, love the yellow door, and love the hutch! Beautiful job!
This room is so nicely done. I love it!
Very nicely done. Where did you get the sofa table by door? I've been looking for something similar. :)
Gorgeous place. This is one of my favourite in the contest so far.

Cheap hotels near Campo de'Fiori in Rome, Italy
The Campo de'Fiori, meaning "field of flowers," is a popular market square in central Rome. The surrounding area buzzes late into the night with restaurants, cafés and unique shops at every turn. The weekday morning market is best known for its produce, though a few vendors sell other items.
Make sure you spend some time checking out the square's Renaissance-era buildings. At the square's center there's a statue of Giordano Bruno, burned at the stake in 1600 for "heretical ways." Notable buildings in the square include the Palazzo Spada, a picture gallery, and the old papal administration offices (at Palazzo della Cancelleria). Also worth a look is the small Renaissance church that Raphael designed, Sant'Eligio degli Orefici.
Hotels near Campo de'Fiori: Hotels in this beautifully restored neighborhood are, admittedly, on the pricier side. Head west into Colosseo and Monti for more cheap sleeps.
Address Via Del Biscione 76 (Campo de' Fiori)
The Albergo del Sole has an eviable location in one of Rome's oldest quarters, and according to the proprietors, this two-star gem is the oldest hotel in Rome.
Address Vicolo Dei Chiodaroli 9 (Campo de' Fiori)
The family-run Hotel Smeraldo is a three-star gem located just a short walk from Campo de' Fiori in the historic center.
Address Via Dei Sediari 8 (Pantheon-Piazza Navona)
Housed in a historic palazzo, the two-star Hotel Navona is located amid some of Rome's most famous monuments, including Piazza Navona, the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain.
Address Via Santa Maria Dè Calderari 47 (Campo de' Fiori)
The two-star Hotel Arenula is a frill-free spot with a fabulously central location and impressively low rates.
Address Via S. Chiara 61 (Pantheon-Piazza Navona)
Situated in a historic palazzo one block south of the Pantheon, the Hotel Mimosa provides 11 no-frills rooms with low rates.

Comments, questions, opinions...this is your chance to speak out regarding anything and everything reported on U.S. Farm Report. Viewer feedback updated regularly.
Being a retired dairy farmer I might be somewhat biased, but do you not see the unintended consequences of farm state Senators pushing the ethanol program?
1. Yes high grain prices help now but wages are not going up. What will happen to public opinion as they see you get government payments while they cannot afford the food?
2. You are driving up your fixed costs which you can now pay, but what happens when the fertilizer hits the fan?
3. What happens to the farm bill when you all make tremendous profits at the expense of the average American?
4. What are you doing to your primary market? Do you really believe that the poultry, pork, or beef producers will be able to stay in business? I already see sales without buyers.
5. What happens when the people see that ethanol has driven up grain prices? Do you think ethanol will survive? I think when the angry, hungry people descend on Washington
with fire in their eyes ethanol from corn will be gone forever. You will face years without government payments, without markets, and with high input costs.
If you were ahead of the curve you would push your Reps and Senators to shut down ethanol until prices stabilize at a level that lets the livestock industry supply meat at a price the public can pay. You would be far better off taking $6/bu for corn for years than $10/bu this year and have no market and be hated by your fellow Americans next year.

Sen. Ted Cruz on Sunday defended the tactics that led to a government shutdown and brought the United States to the brink of defaulting on its financial obligations, insisting he and other conservatives were willing to compromise but Democrats were not.
"I don't want the government to shut down," he said on CNN's "State of the Union." "If you look, House Republicans have repeatedly been compromising, have been passing one bill after another."
Cruz, R-Texas, said that President Obama and Senate Democrats were to blame for the shutdown, and that "of course" the United States will avoid defaulting on its debts Oct. 17.
Because Treasury Secretary Jack Lew could not definitively say that the United States would certainly default on its debts on Oct. 17, Cruz said he commended Lew for not being a "demagogue on the debt ceiling the way his boss has."
While Cruz brushed off suggestions that he was being criticized by fellow Republicans, he said he wanted three things from Democrats before he'll support an increase in the debt ceiling: a structural plan to reduce government spending; no new taxes; and changes to the Affordable Care Act.
Cruz was a among a band of Senate and House conservatives demanding that Obamacare be derailed or delayed. They threatened to shut the government down unless Senate Democrats and Obama agreed to change the new health care law despite the unlikelihood of such a surrender and the consistency of polls showing the public would blame the GOP.
The shutdown entered its sixth-day Sunday, but Cruz insists his tactics have "not remotely" hurt the Republican Party.
"Far too many people are worried about politics. ... If we worry about what is impacting the American people, the politics will take care of itself," Cruz said. "Politicians that are gazing at the polls, there is a reason why the most common sentiment across the country is that politicians in Washington aren't listening to us."

The Fuller's 3 Year Tenancy - PDF Download (PDF Document)
Length of Tenancy (Term)
- The Fuller Smith & Turner PLC (Fuller's) Three Year Tenancy Agreement will normally be granted for a term of three years. It is a three year renewable agreement and the tenancy can only be terminated on the giving of not less than six months notice prior to the end of the agreement.
- The initial rent is based on market evidence at the time the tenancy is granted. The rent will be adjusted upward or downward in line with the Retail Prices Index annually on the anniversary of the commencement date. There is a full rent review every three years.
- You are required to decorate the private quarters of the property, keep them in good repair and condition, and to renew or replace any items with modern equivalents as and when necessary. Fuller's will be responsible for all external decorations and decorations to the trading areas of the outlet.
- Whilst Fuller's is responsible for the majority of repairs to a tenanted property there are minor repairs and decorations you will be responsible for. On an annual basis our surveyor and your business development manager will visit and inspect the entire property. At that meeting a full survey of the building will be carried out. We will inspect any documents you are required to furnish us with (i.e. certificates of insurance) and check any repairs you were required to carry out as part of previous inspections. You will then be sent a notice identifying any documents or work that remain outstanding together with the time scales in which we expect them to be carried out. If you require help finding a contractor to carry out these works our surveyor will be pleased to assist you. A full list of your repairing liabilities can be found in the Tenancy Agreement

- Assignment (sale of your interest in the tenancy) is not permitted.
- You are not permitted to mortgage your interest in the tenancy.
Business Security
- The agreement will normally have the benefit of the security of tenure provisions contained in the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, which governs the circumstances for renewal of an agreement at the end of the initial term. You will be informed during the interview process in the unusual circumstance that this is not the case.
Security Deposit
- A security deposit equal to a quarter of the annualised rent will be required subject to a minimum of £8000. Interest will be payable on the sum deposited at a rate of 0.25% below the current Bank of England base rate. At the end of you're agreement the deposit will be returned to you less any outstanding debts to Fuller's.
Fixtures and Fittings and Stock on Premises

The tenant cannot remove the tenant's fixtures and fittings from the premises and is required to keep it together with Fuller's inventory items in good repair throughout the term.

- When you take one of our pubs you will be allocated with a regular, weekly delivery day and an approximation of a time window in which the delivery will be made. In certain circumstances you may be allocated two delivery spots per week. If you require further deliveries in addition to those allocated you should be aware that these will incur courier costs in the majority of circumstances. Where the courier is necessary due to an error made by Fuller's we will pay the courier cost.
Flow Monitoring Equipment
- Fuller's uses flow monitoring equipment in many of its pubs. The terms regarding the way we operate this equipment and the subsequent use of the data provided will be supplied to you as part of the interview procedure.
Leisure Machines
- Fuller's retains the right to install all leisure machines. Currently, all Amusement with Prizes (AWP) and pool machine income is shared on a 50/50 basis after costs. Whilst other machines are permissible with our permission they must be supplied by one of our nominated suppliers. You should agree your own contractual terms with the supplier and be aware we receive a small royalty fee for each machine you install. No machine income will form part of the rental calculation. The machines will be normally be emptied by the operators on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
Permitted Use
- This will be clearly stated within the tenancy and is normally to run the pub as a public house. This can be extended under certain conditions to catering and letting accommodation with our permission.
Signing/Pub Name
- We are responsible for all signage and associated lighting to the pub.Our consent is required for any external signing proposals or any change in the pub name.
- It is absolutely prohibited to alter the structure of the building. However, Fuller's will look favourably on granting permission for alterations that enhance the property. Non structural improvements, alterations or decorations require the consent of Fuller's.
- Subletting of the whole or part of the premises is not permitted.
Rates/Council Tax
- Rates and Council Tax are the responsibility of the tenant.
Expiration of the Agreement
- The majority of our agreements are fully protected by the Security of Tenure provisions contained in Part 2 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. You will be informed at the outset if this is not the case. Fuller's is entitled to serve a notice at least six months before the end of the tenancy stating whether it requires possession of the property as a managed house or if it is prepared to negotiate with the tenant for a further term. We would again like to put your mind at rest and confirm that in nearly all cases we will wish to renew and at this stage will enter into the same negotiations as described in the rent review section of this brochure. If, however we wish to take the house back as a managed house you will be entitled to compensation at the statutory rate. In certain circumstances an agreement will be outside of the Landlord and Tenant Act. These normally allow six months notice on either side throughout the term. If it is our intention to end the agreement at expiration you will be notified at least six months in advance of the termination date.
- The various payments, which the tenant makes to the landlord under the tenancy, will each be subject to VAT at the standard rate applicable.

Cheese-Stuffed Grilled Peppers
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black peppers
8 Cubanelle peppers
2 Tbsp. olive oil
In a medium bowl, blend ricotta with cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. Add garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Light a grill or heat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Using a small, sharp knife, remove the stems from the peppers, reserving the tops. Cut around the inside the peppers to detatch the membranes and remove the seeds. Using a spoon, fill the peppers with the cheese mixture and reattach the tops. Rub peppers with olive oil.
Grill the peppers, turning occasionally, until blistered all over and the cheese is hot, about 7 minutes. Transfer peppers to a plate and serve.

March 2009 Press Releases
Titanic Sea City Museum plans gather steam
Plans to create a unique Sea City Museum which will tell Southampton's Titanic story have moved a step closer.
As part of Southampton City Council's ambitious plans, the old magistrate courts and police head quarters located at Southampton City Council's Civic Centre, would be converted into a £28 million centre which will showcase the city's heritage and archaeology collections.
The plans were given a boost today (Monday) after the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) announced that the scheme has been given just under half a million pounds in development funding. The HLF also gave the project a first round pass - which gives the go ahead for the council to carry out further work on proposals.
The main focus of the first phase of the works will look at Southampton's Titanic story, when in 1912 the great vessel left Southampton Docks on what was its maiden and final voyage.
As part of the £15 million phase one of the works, which the council hopes will be completed by 2012, the main exhibition hall would be turned into a scene of the dockside in Southampton with the Titanic about to depart. This could feature a unique scaled down replica of the Titanic. Visitors would become 'crew members' reporting for duty. They would adopt the identity of one of the six original crew members and follow their story throughout the exhibition, from climbing the gang plank to post-disaster enquiry. The story of the ship`s crew has been largely untold outside of the city.
Extensive use would be made of personal objects, documents, photographs and oral history testimony from Titanic collections with about 4,000 items set to be displayed within galleries.
Councillor John Hannides, Cabinet Member for Leisure, Culture and Heritage, said: "This museum will be of international significance and could attract hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Arguably, this could be the most significant landmark project in the city for a generation."
"Southampton was the home of the Titanic so it is only fitting that we tell our story.
"When the ship tragically sank 549 Southampton people lost their lives and hundreds of families in the city were directly affected. The impact was felt right across the world, but nowhere more so than in Southampton.
"We now need to do all we can to see how we can raise the funds to make this happen."
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) announced that the council has secured a first round pass and development funding of £499,900 which will go towards a potential application for £4.5million. If eventually successful in securing the £4.5 million, the council would use the money to help pay for the first phase of works.
However the council will still need to find a further £10 million to fund the first phase of works and is currently talking with funding partners to see if it can raise the money.
The current old magistrates courts and police building, a grade two star listing building, is owned by the city council and will soon be without purpose as the Magistrates Courts relocated in 2002 and the police set to soon move into a new purpose built venue.

Duke Energy raises dividend
The utility company also plans a 1-for-3 reverse stock split.
By Zacks Equity Research
Duke Energy Corporation (DUK) raised the quarterly cash dividend on its common stock by 0.5 cents to 25.5 cents per share. This action increases the annualized dividend to $1.02. The dividend is payable on September 17, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2012. This is the 86th consecutive year that Duke Energy has paid a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock.
Earlier, in January 2011, Duke Energy announced that it would buy Progress Energy Inc. (PGN). The Raleigh, North Carolina company is a pure-play electricity utility with a solid rate base growth opportunity in the long term. The company engages in regulated electricity operations in the southeastern U.S. and also runs non-regulated businesses.
The $16.5 billion transaction is expected to be completed by July 2012. Once the transaction gets through, it would create the largest U.S. utility and increase its ability to build new power plants to meet future greenhouse-gas emissions limits. Currently, Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (EXC) is the largest U.S. utility.
Duke Energy also announced a 1-for-3 reverse stock split, following the anticipated closing of its merger with Progress Energy, on or about July 1. Duke Energy also said that the dividend will be automatically adjusted to $0.765, if the merger is closed on or prior to the dividend record date.
Duke Energy, a Zacks #2 Rank ("buy") stock, is one of the largest electric power holding companies in the United States. Duke Energy's stable U.S. electricity and gas operations (spread over the five states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky) generate a relatively stable and growing earnings stream.
Looking ahead, Duke Energy's merger with Progress Energy is expected to be a strategic fit and accretive to earnings. The combined entity would provide regulated electricity services to more than 7.1 million customers in 6 states (North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky). The merger is expected to keep the company's long-term goal of 4% to 6% earnings growth in good stead.
Our bullish outlook for the company is supported by higher rates, its strong balance sheet, ongoing capital expansion projects and an above-average dividend yield for the industry.
We have a long-term "neutral" recommendation on Duke Energy stock.
