A Low-Dollar Play on a 2013 U.S. Housing Recovery
John is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Beazer Homes USA (NYSE: BZH) is one of a dozen publicly-traded homebuilders I follow, encompassing a group with other popular names such as Hovnanian, Lennar, KB Homes, Pulte, and Ryland Group. While individual housing stocks have enjoyed a tremendous run over the last 12 months and the composite SPDR S&P 500 Homebuilders ETF has earned an impressive 45.61% return since January 1, there is plenty of reason for encouragement and support for an improving housing market going into the year 2013. With respect to the recent market sell-off related to concerns over the fiscal cliff, now may be the right time to consider initiating a position in housing if you believe we have found a short-term bottom.
Here are six reasons why Beazer Homes is a strong relative buy, following recent corporate events and economic data:
1) Investors have greater clarity into Beazer Homes' underlying business prospects, following their Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2012 Results released on November 12 . While the stock sold off more than 15% following the earnings release, I feel that investors should remain positive and the sell-off represented an "expectations reset." Although the Company posted a wider-than-expected loss of ($2.57) per share versus ($1.22) estimate, Q4 revenue exceeded estimates by more than 10%, reporting revenue of $370.93 million versus consensus of $335.11 million. More importantly, Beazer reported Q3 new home orders of 1,110 units and a backlog of $479.1 million.
2) JPMorgan analysts came out on Tuesday and defended the shares, stating that recent weakness in the share price represents a buying opportunity. The firm believes Beazer's turnaround plan remains intact and reiterated an Overweight rating and $18 price target on the name, representing more than 30% upside from today's closing price.
3) Despite Beazer's outstanding debt position, equity holders should be safe from dilution and further corporate action at least through mid-2013, following the Company's reverse one-for-five stock split announced on October 11 and effective October 12. It seems overwhelmingly likely that if Beazer management were to propose a secondary offering of common stock, it would have done so already at an earlier date. Beazer shares have been trading for a full month post the reverse one-for-five split and two months since the annual shareholder meeting, so at the current time it seems unlikely such an announcement would occur. This decreased probability makes Beazer more attractive to shareholders than competitors such as Hovnanian (NYSE: HOV), which has also seen a strong rise in share price. Hovnanian has refrained from any form of shareholder corporate action, which makes me cautious as the current share price would present an attractive opportunity for debt-saddled Hovnanian to raise much-needed capital.
4) According to the S&P/Case-Schiller Index, 95% of tracked U.S. housing markets showed an incremental improvement between July and August, posting an average increase of 0.9%. Phoenix, Arizona, one of Beazer's largest markets showed an overall increase of 1.8% according to Case-Schiller.
5) Beazer Homes is presenting at several upcoming conferences, with the UBS Building and Building Products CEO Conference taking place on November 15. These events should continue to garner interest with institutional investors going into the 2013 New Year.
6) Many analysts see three to five years of increased residential construction looking out to 2014 with the possibility of 1 million annual housing starts. Furthermore, the CEO of competitor Hovnanian Homes (NYSE: HOV) recently appeared on CNBC and stated the housing rebound is "robust" and in the "second inning" of a prolonged recovery.
While the broader housing sector may continue to provide gains for risk-tolerant investors through the next year, the share price of Beazer Homes appears to be more attractive versus the sector given a recent "expectations reset" and should provide a better risk/reward for investors willing to withstand the potential for moderate volatility.

A 26-year-old man is dead after being involved in two separate multi-car crashes on Interstate 40 between Stewart's Ferry Pike and Old Hickory Boulevard in Hermitage.
The accidents happened around 3:30 a.m. Sunday and caused the closure of I-40 East.
Metro police said the first crash involved a Chevrolet pickup truck, a tractor trailer and a Chevy Tahoe.
According to police, both the pickup truck and the Tahoe passed the tractor trailer on either side. When the pickup truck merged left, the truck hit the Tahoe in the rear bumper.
When the tractor trailer tried to avoid the collision, it collided with the pickup truck.
Moments later, the driver of the Chevy pickup, Adam Carnes, of Hermitage, was struck and killed by another vehicle not involved in the first crash.
Metro said Carnes exited his truck to view the damage on his driver's side door. While outside of his truck, Carnes was struck by a Dodge Charger.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police told Nashville's News 2 there was no evidence that any of the drivers involved in the accident were impaired. However, the investigation is ongoing.
Police said the driver of the Dodge, Damon Bryant, 39, was not injured and showed no signs of impairment.
TDOT traffic cameras and police said it was very foggy while working the accident, but the tractor trailer driver stated that it was not foggy during the time of the crash.
The interstate was shut down until about 8:45 a.m. Sunday.

Blog Post

Today's New York Times has an outstanding and quite detailed front page story on the use of computed tomography (CT) scanners. The article highlights several points, including how little we often know about whether a new technology works better than an existing one, how the use of new technologies (along with existing ones) can be substantially affected by the financial incentives facing doctors and other medical providers, and as a result how new technologies often spread to many settings in which their use is of questionable value.
If the nation is going to improve the efficiency of our health system, we will need to grapple with the types of issues raised by this important article.

A well-rounded energy company
Penn Virginia Resources has business in natural gas, coal, oil and even timber. And check out its hefty yield.
Ever wonder what would happen if a master limited partnership married a royalty trust? Well, it just might look something like Penn Virginia Resources (PVR).
Penn Virginia is a growing midstream energy player with 4,200 miles of natural gas-gathering pipelines, dozens of compressor stations and seven large-scale processing facilities. These assets are in important producing regions from the Gulf Coast to the Rocky Mountains.
More than half of the volume flowing through these pipelines and processing plants is governed by fee-based contracts and thus insulated from commodity price movements or narrowing profit spreads. The rest is mostly hedged to minimize volatility and ensure stable cash flows.
That means that the more natural gas coursing through the firm's veins each day, the more cash it generates -- and throughput volumes have more than doubled since 2006 to surpass 500 million cubic feet per day.
But this is only part of the story. Penn Virginia is an unusual royalty trust/MLP hybrid (60/40 in terms of EBITDA).
So pipelines account for just under half of the firm's income. The bigger portion comes from royalty payments -- not from the sale of oil or gas or precious metals, but coal.
The company is sitting on 900 million tons of coal reserves. Three-fourths of that is premium low-sulfur coal found in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky.
Suffice it to say that PVR will be feeding power plants on the East Coast and export markets for many years to come.
Instead of mining the coal itself, PVR leases its land out to other producers. This brilliant strategy eliminates mine operating costs and other headaches.
And coal isn't the only resource extracted from its rich land. PVR is also reaping royalty rewards from 6.3 billion cubic feet of oil and gas reserves. And the timber from 243,000 acres of forest is selectively harvested and sold to make furniture.
All in all, PVR generated distributable cash flow (DCF) of $107 million through the first nine months of 2011, versus $99 million during the same time frame in 2010. And with no general partner taking a cut, nearly all of that wealth is being dished out to unitholders.
After leveling out for a few years following the recession of 2008, distributions are on the rise once again.
In fact, there have been four consecutive dividend hikes. The latest increase announced just a few weeks ago lifts the annual payment to $2.04 per unit, for a hefty yield of 8%.
PVR has dished out $15.42 per unit in cumulative distributions since January 2002. I think we'll see much more than that over the next decade.
To capture this growing income stream, I am buying Penn Virginia Resource Partners in my "Dependable Income" Portfolio.

WH Preps For Climate Summit
"WH cranks up heat ahead of UN summit" reports The Hill: "The Obama administration is preparing a 'full-court press' ahead of next week's U.N. climate summit where the president will use his speech to "call on world leaders to keep their ambitions high … The administration's carbon pollution rules on existing power plants and latest actions to phase out a popular coolant found in air conditioners and refrigerators will be on the mouths of every Cabinet member. The administration will also tout actions announced Thursday to boost energy efficiency and solar power in homes and businesses, which would reduce carbon emissions 300 million metric tons by 2030. Obama won't stop there, Podesta said. Early next week the president will announce more executive actions on aid to vulnerable populations to help build up resilience to the impacts of climate change."
NYT's Paul Krugman explains how capping carbon is cheap: "I've just been reading two new reports on the economics of fighting climate change: a big study by a blue-ribbon international group, the New Climate Economy Project, and a working paper from the International Monetary Fund. Both claim that strong measures to limit carbon emissions would have hardly any negative effect on economic growth, and might actually lead to faster growth. This may sound too good to be true, but it isn't. These are serious, careful analyses."
Government Stays Open, But Syria Provision Causes Concern
Senate clears bill to keep government open, arm Syrian rebels. NYT: "The training measure was pushed hard by President Obama, who will now sign it into law. It was tucked into a larger Senate bill to keep the government funded past Sept. 30, a maneuver that leaders of both parties favored to ensure as few defections as possible. The Senate's 78-to-22 vote, a day after the House passed the measure, masked the serious doubts that some senators had."
Notable senators voted no. Bloomberg: "Opponents of the bill in the Senate — 10 Democrats and 12 Republicans — included potential 2016 presidential contenders. Democrats Elizabeth Warren ofMassachusetts and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York voted against the proposal, as did Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent who caucuses with Democrats. On the Republican side, possible presidential aspirants Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul ofKentucky opposed the bill, while Marco Rubio of Florida supported it, though he said he was disappointed there hadn't been an opportunity for more extensive debate."
Boehner Likes Immigration Reform Again
Boehner admits immigration reform would've helped economy. The Hill: "'Immigration reform will help our economy, but you've got to secure the border first,' the Ohio Republican said after a speech at the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute … 'It needs to be fixed. We're a nation of immigrants, the sooner we do it, the better off the country would be.' His immigration comments, in response to an audience question, weren't part of his prepared remarks. They followed a 20-minute-speech in which Boehner laid out his five-point plan to jump-start America's economy."
Republicans fail to get a vote on gutting Obama's immigration action. Politico: "Democratic Sens. Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Joe Manchin of West Virginia voted with all Republicans on a procedural vote that the GOP depicted as a signal of support for pending executive action from President Barack Obama on immigration. The measure ultimately failed on a 50-50 tie vote … had it passed [it] would have allowed them to offer legislation gutting the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and block it from being expanded."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is awful. You, as a parent, are only valued if you are a volunteer and ONLY if you are a SELECT volunteer. So, if you're not in the clique, you aren't going to be listened to. Instead, you will be treated terribly. In truth, the staff treats ALL military families like second class citizens because they aren't local and don't care about the bullying, the subpar curriculum, and talk behind your back - and if you are lucky RIGHT TO YOUR FACE! If I had it to do over again, we would've turned down our orders to come here since our child has been bullied, abused by a teacher, and struggled academically since coming here and the school does not care. Oh, and there's no one to complain to because we're not from here so we don't matter!
Teachers don't take parent input into consideration. They blame lower test scores on students instead of the lack of time students spend at school. I'd love to get a half day once a week and gobs of days off in a school year. The school would improve if it had to follow more strict standards. If it was made into an actual DoD school that would help a lot too.
This school is awful! If you can avoid it at all costs, please do for the sake of you and your children! My child excels academically and has a fairly easy time making friends, but the bullying at this school is WAY out of control! My child was threatened by another child that he was going to beat her up after school and my daughter told the teacher out of fear and the teacher told her to deal with it because class was almost over!!!! This is just one of the many issues we have had! I have had countless meetings with the principal who refuses to admit that this school has a bullying problem. The academic situation is even worse! They only care about the students who will get them closer to getting grants (those students who score higher on state tests!)...so if your child has difficulty learning...forget it! AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!!!!!!
As military families, we don't often have a lot of choice in the schools our children attend-because we have to live on or near base..We are very disappointed with the Hawaii school systems and their level of academics. That being said, Mokulele is a nice school. The staff really do care about the children and they do.. ok.. with the curriculum they're given. I think they could focus more on academics, and less on school events, brush bot competitions and recess. My girls can play at home. We do feel like its necessary to supplement the kids outside of school..but that would be the case for any school in Hawaii. That is why I give 3 stars in teacher quality. They are all very sweet people, every one of them. I just wish my kids were being challenged more. Over all, Mokulele is a safe, fun place for your kids to attend. It will do...
My children really enjoyed Mokulele. The teachers are wonderful and the Admin. is very much involved. Compared to Hickam Elem., Mokulele has a much better curriculum. My children attended both schools and Mokulele far exceeds Hickam Elem. Parents think Hickam is better because Officer children attend Hickam but they are painstakingly wrong.
My son attended (Jr.) Kindergarten here. His acacemics improved greatly over the school year. He went recognizing some of the alphabet to reading by year's end. Kindergarten has an impressive curriculum including science, social studies & basics like reading and math. They go to a music class, have PE, and visit the library each week. They have sort of a mentoring interaction with the older grades called Ohana which meets weekly as well. I think each of the kids are a assigned an older 'buddy.' I was impressed that the K's got to go on 5 field trips during the school year. Parent involvement is greatly encouraged. I give the school 4 stars because I felt lost at the beginning of the school year since there was no parent orientation & some of the special events could have been better. I think there will be a parent orientation for 2009-2010.
What is potentially a strong point of this school is the opportunity for teachers to 'articulate', or meet on a weekly basis to plan/discuss curriculum materials and other pending issues. In other schools teachers often work in isolation so time spent with other teachers to discuss classroom issues is often hit-and-miss.
My son attended Kindergarten at the school. I felt academically the school was good, especially with my son coming from a private preschool. The programs that are offered to the kindergartens were music, Hawaiian studies and computers. Each student participated in these programs. The school really stress reading for all the students. The kindergartens went to the library once a week and pick out a book to write their favorite part in the story and draw a pictures. The incentive at the end of the month was a coupon for a personal pan pizza meal at pizza hut. Fit 2 Win was a big fitness program for the school and Hickam Youth Center which the students recorded daily all the fitness activities they did. My son attended the before and after school program at the Hickam Youth Center. The school encourages parents to volunteer.
Mokulele was a wonderful school my children loved it and the teachers became friends . The teachers and staff really care for the children.
The staff and teachers @ Mokulele are truly exceptional. My son has ADHD and year after year I see him strive to his fullest potential academically. I give the Mokulele teachers many thanks for their hard work, dedication and patience with my son. I am forever indebted to them. Many thanks! Omayra

Steffy Five Shelf Book Display
Jeannie from Shelby, NC– Verified Buyer
This is a very sturdy bookshelf - even when my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter decided to "mountain climb" it. She is able to display her books to where she can see them - she even puts them back in their place when she/we are through reading the book. It is attractive and fits in my living room (which now looks like a daycare center). Even my husband, who rarely comments about anything, told me he thought it was a very nice bookshelf! I would definitely recommend this bookshelf to anyone. I rarely write a review, but wanted to write one on this bookshelf. To top it off, the bookshelf comes fully assembled - which, believe me, we really appreciate (or at least my husband does :).
book shelf
Wendy Kanllakan from New Berlin, IL– Verified Buyer
The shelf fits perfectly in my kindergarten classroom. It seems sturdy, and I am quite pleased with it. The books are easily accessible.
A fine shelf
Anonymous from Colorado
This is a fine product. It arrived just as expected. The online description was accurate. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something similar.
Good quality
Gbellus from Rego Park, NY– Verified Buyer
This is a very sturdy book case. It holds quite a few books, but be aware that the shelves aren't that wide, so thick books won't fit. Overall, works great for toddlers, they can see the books on display and choose which one they want to read and put the books back themselves :)
Great bookcase
Leslie Shain from Kenilworth, IL– Verified Buyer
I love this bookcase. It came assembled which was great. I am ordering a second one for another room in our house. Love it.
Great shelf...kids love it and displays books very well
Mariya Yamaykina from Marion, MA– Verified Buyer
It is a great shelf. I ahve had a few friends ask me where I got it. It does not fit as many books as I had hoped, but it's OK.
Great bookcase.
Nicole D. from Germantown, TN– Verified Buyer
Holds more books than expected. Well made and already put together. It's great that my daughter can see a wide selection of books, so we don't read the same ones over and over again like we used to.
Plenty of Room for Books
Preprimary Teacher from Hondo,TX– Verified Buyer
This bookshelf is the perfect height for little children. It ia also well-built. There is plenty of room for books. Children have no problem finding the books they need, getting them from the shelves, or returning them to the shelves.
Great deal!
bizzycin from Seattle, Washington– Verified Buyer
I am using this in my classroom. It is built well and displays the books nicely. It is a great deal for the nice quality of materials used to construct the shelf.
Great Book Display!
JW80 from Indy, IN– Verified Buyer
Displays lots of books and allows our 14 month old son to pick out books from the bottom shelf to the top shelf at his leisure! We love it!

banana-chocolate chip mini-muffins with vanilla-hazelnut icing.
they might not win any beauty pageants (why is food beauty pageants not a thing? it would be the highest rated show on earth. yea i'd watch the shit out of those.) but these babies came out near perfect in texture and taste.
i say near perfect only because i couldn't smush the banana fully so there are gushy chunks here and there.
here is this very simple recipe:
- 2 ripe-ity ripe bananas - smushed
- 1/3 cup butter - melted
- 2/3 cup sugar - i used brown and white (my kitchen is no racist)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg - beaten
- a pinch of salt
- 1.5 cups flour - ALL of the purposes
oven at 350 F.
smush banana and add the melted butter. then just chuck all of the other ingredients except flour so you can mix it well. add the flour in the end and just fold until the whiteness is gone (maybe a little racist). this is my answer to the over-mixing conundrum. add the flour last and handle it gingerly from then on.
since every oven i own tend to be some sort of hell-mouth, it was done in 16 minutes.
the icing is the tricky part. you have to get it mathematically precise. so read very carefully:
- some butter
- double that of icing sugar
- a bit of vanilla
- an eeh of milk
- and a pinch of salt.
- i also had some hazelnut powder from an earlier hazelnut grinding fiasco so i threw a whole thing of it in there.
so there it is. a monday afternoon spent in relative bliss.

This study assessed the correlation between cortical lesion load on 7T MRI and the magnetisation transfer ratio (MTR) of the normal appearing white matter (NAWM), in order to test the hypothesis that cortical lesions cause NAWM degeneration. It is known that NAWM axon loss, rather than focal demyelination in white matter lesions (WMLs), is the pathological substrate underlying chronic irreversible disability in MS.Nineteen people with MS had a 7T MRI with MTR and magnetisation-prepared-rapid-acquisition-gradient-echo (MPRAGE) to identify cortical lesions. White matter lesions were segmented using MPRAGE images and then NAWM masks were produced by subtracting WML maps from white matter volume.
The researchers found that cortical lesion volumes and counts all had significant correlation with NAWM MTR, with the cortical lesion volumes showing the strongest correlation using MTR images. WML volume had no significant correlation with NAWM mean MTR. This supports the hypothesis that cortical lesions cause NAWM degeneration. Therefore, this correlation implicates cortical lesions in the pathogenesis of NAWM axon loss which underlies long term disability and progression in MS.Authors: Mistry N, Abdel-Fahim RSource: Mult Scler. 2013 Jul 15.

Re: Polamalu and Brown practice fully, Pouncey at LG?
We are definitley getting back to 100%! That's why I would advocate sitting a couple of guys that are "dinged" up. We need them healthy the rest of the way. We can still win without Brown, Colon and Troy (well, maybe). I would let them continue to rest and get ready for the home stretch. I know Troy has technically been resting but another week won't hurt. Bring them all back for San Diego and let it rip! Just my opinion.

I would prefer Heath running routes too, but we pretty much need to protect Batch so i can see him blocking alot. Besides they have Plax in for a big over the middle target for now

Re: Polamalu and Brown practice fully, Pouncey at LG?
Ben out, but Brown, Polamalu to return against Ravens
By F. Dale Lolley
Dec 1, 2012
Steelers linebacker Jason Worilds, shown sacking Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden last week, will start in place of injured LaMarr Woodley against the Ravens Sunday.
PITTSBURGH The Steelers will have some new faces in the lineup Sunday when they travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens, but one player who definitely wont be suiting up is quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
After Roethlisberger was limited all week in practice as he comes back from shoulder and rib injuries suffered three weeks ago the Steelers declared him out for Sundays game.
That was the bad news for Pittsburgh (6-5), which trails Baltimore (9-2) by three games in the AFC North standings.
The good news? Wide receiver Antonio Brown and strong safety Troy Polamalu are expected to be back.
Brown has missed the past three weeks with an ankle sprain, and the Steelers have struggled offensively without their MVP from 2011.
Polamalu, meanwhile, has appeared in just two games while dealing with a calf injury, and hasnt played since leaving an Oct. 7 win over Philadelphia in the first quarter.
I think it means a lot, getting leadership and stability out there again, said Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau. Our guys have done a good job without him. I dont think he will be able to be out there every snap but he is going to be able to take a significant role. Lets face it, when you can have him on the field its a plus for us. We are looking forward to his return.
Those changes wont be the only ones in store for the Steelers as they try to avoid their first three-game losing streak since 2009.
Jason Worilds will start at outside linebacker in place of LaMarr Woodley, who suffered an ankle injury in last weeks 20-14 loss at Cleveland, while rookie Kelvin Beachum is expected to make his first career start at right tackle protecting third-string quarterback Charlie Batch.
Worilds recorded two sacks against the Browns and leads the Steelers with five sacks in limited playing time.
He is doing a good job. He actually had tremendous growth last year. He had to play well over half the snaps last year and started a lot of games, said LeBeau of Worilds, a 2010 second-round draft picks. He would have been accelerated tremendously, except that he had the injury situation in the offseason. He missed the whole training camp. I would say the last month he has really come back to where he was at the end of last season, when he was coming on strong.
Beachum, meanwhile, has played just 27 snaps this season as a seventh-round draft pick, but played well after stepping in for Mike Adams, who suffered an ankle injury in the second half last week.
Its not a good thing that Mike got hurt, but when he did, Beachum had to go in and play a significant number of plays, the majority of those having to be passing, and he held his own, said Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley. He gets a full week of practice taking all the reps, and we need to make sure were looking out for him like we always do with those guys on the edges on either side.
The Steelers also have some uncertainty at left guard. Willie Colon missed last weeks game and sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday with a deep knee bruise. He returned to practice on a limited basis Friday, but is listed as questionable to play Sunday.
If he cannot play, center Maurkice Pouncey is expected to slide over, with Doug Legursky starting at center.

Testing Times for Yum! as Taco Bell Gets Caught in Horsemeat Scandal
Rita is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
After taking measures to settle the chicken scare in China, Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM) got caught in UK's horsemeat scandal. British food regulators undertook tests that revealed horsemeat in Taco Bell, a subsidiary of Yum!. The company accepted that some of its batches of ground beef contained traces of horsemeat, and is extremely disappointed to find such adulteration. This is bad news for the company, particularly at a time when it is struggling hard to fix the food safety concern in its largest market, China.
Instant action
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) had conducted 1,797 tests over a period of seven days to examine beef products, and investigate food processing chains that form a part of the supply chains of big food brands. Over 99% of the results were negative, but about 1% turned out to be positive for horsemeat contamination. The 1%, which comprised 4 tests, was found to have equine DNA. These four tests were for Taco Bell ground beef, beef skewers catered by Brakes, and spaghetti bolognese and beef lasagna - the two meals offered by Birds Eye. Taco Bell has apologized to its customers and says it isn't certain if the horsemeat had been served to any of them.
However, as soon as Yum! learnt of the Taco Bell horsemeat issue, the Mexican fast food chain immediately conducted its own testing to confirm the news. Right after it identified traces of horsemeat, it took off beef from its menu in the three Taco Bell outlets located in the U.K., and stopped purchasing meat in the region. The fast food restaurant chain informed the FSA about the steps that it undertook. To ensure that the ingredients supplied are 100% beef, the chain would perform a test on every batch of beef that reaches its processor, and again test it before it leaves for the outlets.
Yum! which also operates Pizza Hut and KFC, asked its U.S. Taco Bell customers not to worry about the ingredients, as domestic restaurants do not receive meat from European suppliers. Domestic customers won't be impacted by the U.K. scandal, and should be assured of the quality of beef that undergoes USDA inspections, as well as 20 checkpoints of the company.
Other food companies in Europe are also suffering from the horsemeat issue.
Other sufferers
Some of the other names that bought horsemeat in the name of beef include Burger King (NYSE: BKW), Tesco Corporation (NASDAQ: TESO), Nestle SA, Birds Eye, Findus and Ikea. In January, Burger King was discovered to have traces of horse DNA in some hamburger patties that came from a food processing unit located in Ireland. This Irish supplier was found to keep products containing horse, but it did not reach Burger king restaurants. The company instantly severed ties with this beef supplier as a part of its preventive measure.
Tesco, Britain's biggest supermarket, also got hit by the scandal as its hamburgers were found to contain horsemeat. The company would now be conducting tests, not on a sample basis, but on all the meat that it sells to ensure premium quality and avoid adulteration. The entire cost would be borne by the company, and this would squeeze the profit margin. In addition, the supermarket chain would go for close investigation of its supply chain to be confident about the source of its products. The grocery giant is now warning of higher prices, considering that the scandal will suppress its profit.
In the wake of the horsemeat scare, McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) asked its meat suppliers to hold supplemental DNA test to be 100% confident that the hamburgers had beef and not horsemeat. On Friday, Yum!'s Oak Brook-based arch-rival confirmed that its British menu did not contain horsemeat, as sample tests conducted by the fast food giant suggested that its products were free of horsemeat. However, both Yum! and McDonald's are facing food safety issues in China.
Tension in Yum!'s Mainland
2013 is off to a rough start for Yum! Its biggest and most lucrative market, China, discovered that the chicken used in KFC restaurants was injected with inappropriate levels of antibiotics. The quick service restaurant chain has therefore ended ties with over 1,000 poultry farms in China to tighten food safety in the mainland, which accounts for over half of Yum!'s top-line. Even McDonald's has been alleged of using chicken with high antibiotics level. Just as Yum!, the company also cut off its agreement with poultry supply units accused of processing such chicken.
However, China is a more crucial market for Yum!, given its huge presence in the emerging economy. The company operates over 4,000 KFCs and 700 Pizza Huts here. So, it is critical for the fast food giant to regain its brand reputation and win back the lost trust of its Chinese customers. But, as the supplies are dependent on small scale farms that are hard to track, it would be a tough task for Yum! to ensure the food safety level.
To conclude
Yum!'s UK scandal is another reason why customers could lose confidence in the brand. It is for certain that the road ahead is tough for the fast food company, given that its KFC China sales have dropped drastically with a dull outlook, at least in the near future. Yum! is working very hard to restore its brand image in the foreign markets by tightening its supply sources. The current year outlook remains gloomy as the scenario is expected to improve in late second half of the year. In the meanwhile, it is extremely important for Yum! to ensure safety and quality of its ingredients along with tightening its supply chain.

- Birks Santa Clarack94112VIPDined on 9/27/2014My first visit.... very nice everything. The only thing that needs attention is the waiter was not always available. Our reservation was on Saturday and about 730pm... this was not a full crowd because of there location.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/27/2014Very nice. Pretty expensive. My swordfish was done nicely. I added the spinach side. Corkage was $20. No mention of our birthdays.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always goodwnakDined on 9/25/2014Been coming here for our anniversary dinner for 15 years and it hasn't disappointed us yet. Service is always great and food is very good. They also gave us complimentary dessert worth $20 as anniversary gift.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LOUDrich1116VIPDined on 9/25/2014Sitting next to someone we literally had to shout to each other during lunch. Busy is good crazy loud means I won't do lunch here again
- Pricey and not worth ithighexpecatationsDined on 9/23/2014Cocktail menu looked inventive and great, but drinks were ridiculously sweet, not balanced. The entree special was ono fish to be cooked medium rare, but it came out dry like cardboard. The server must have known it had been sitting under the warmer for a long time, because he didn't come to check on our entree for at least 15 minutes, while we left the food tasted but otherwise untouched. When he finally came, he did offer to bring us another and the replacement was nicely cooked. Knowing it was my birthday, he brought a complimentary piece of cheesecake, but it, too, was far too sweet. The ceviche was tasty, but the presentation was terrible. The kale salad was well-dressed but had random ingredients not listed that did not work.
- Avoid this Place!friendlydinerVIPDined on 9/23/2014If you like bad food, deafening noise throughout the restaurant, and terrible service, this is the place for you. We tried three tables, trying to get one where we didn't have to shout, but it was impossible. Even the manager later said that it was the noisiest restaurant he knew of. The food was bad (a tough steak with no taste for $40), the service nonexistent (our snippy server missed serving one course until we reminded him, and then never checked back to see how the main course was). We finally talked to the manager, who apologized for the service and gave us a gift certificate, which we shall not use. We would never return to this restaurant. When we left, our party of three all had sore ears and a bad taste in our mouths.
- Great steak house in Santa ClaraNotMyFirstTimeInLVDined on 9/23/2014This is a very good place for steaks in the heart of Santa Clara, CA - If you're staying in the area and you want a very nice meal with great service, this is a good place for you. The house cabernet is very nice, and the salmon and sea bass are good options if you want something besides steak. The service staff is always professional and very attentive.Special Features:
- Does Not Disappoints24estDined on 9/20/2014Highly professional and friendly staff. Wonderful food. I ordered a kale salad, blackened rib-eye, and garlic mash potatoes. Everything was plated excellently and tasted outstanding: the steak prepared exactly as ordered. I will definitely return there and recommend it to my friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birks ReviewHUX32Dined on 9/19/2014Birks is very good but truthfully, I would never dine there if they did not accept the Passport card. I ordered a steak for lunch last week and it cost $40! (this is the lunch price) I had mistaken the New York salad priced at $24 for the New York steak entree priced at $40! Lunch for two was $77.00 and alcohol was not consumed. (Water and a iced tea) No appetizers, soup salad etc. Just two entrees! I'll think twice before going back there again.Special Features:
- great foodfinedinerDined on 9/17/2014The food was fantastic. Every dish on the menu and every plate that passed our table was a temptation in itself. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. The lamb and pork cos that passed our table looked amazing. I now have a reason to return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good, not greatLove4FoodDined on 9/17/2014I have been to Birk's quite a few times - for lunches, dinners, and happy hour. The atmosphere is always vibrant, and the interior setting is good enough for business lunches or a more expensive date. The food selection is quite varied, although the dessert menu is somewhat limited. Overall, a great atmosphere, good service, nice décor, and food which is good, but not great.Special Features:

- Overrated and poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/9/2014The restaurant was empty. I had a reservation yet they chose to seat me and my guest at a table far from a window and on a walkway to a storage room and others table. Lots of traffic going by our table. When we asked to be moved they said they couldn't. There was no one in the place!! Very disappointing overall including the meal.Special Features:
- Great client dining locationRoyBoyDined on 9/2/2014This restaurant has been my favorite to bring clients and business contacts. It is located in the heart of Silicon Valley (right off the 101) and has the upscale ambience and relative quiet interior to make it the ideal place for a discussion over lunch. Great bar, excellent steaks and seafood, and quick efficient service.Special Features:
- Great Place for a Romantic DinnerPaulHollisterDined on 8/31/2014My wife and I had dinner the other night at Birks and once again had wonderful food and great service! The Blackened Rib Eye and Prime Rib are fantastic! Along with the Crème Brulee! We will definitely come back again!Special Features:
- Great ServicetonemiesterDined on 8/27/2014Recently ate at Birks based on a recommendation. I hadnt had a good steak in a while and was looking forward to it. I was thoroughly underwhelmed by the quality of the food. I expect a steak at a place like this to be better than something I can cook at home. However, the service was fantastic and the ambiance nice.Special Features:
- Ask for Sean! He's exceptional!DropdeadmodestDined on 8/27/2014I have to say the food was delicious! The lobster in the salad was mouth watering. Sean, though, provided such exceptional service that I had to write this review to let people know where to go to get "wowed"! Ask for him and you will be glad!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- brunch before 49er gameRocketgirlDined on 8/24/2014Birks is trying something new... they are open for brunch before the 49er games when they play at home...They offer free parking with a "short walk" to the game. It seemed like a good idea but the walk was longer than expected as the walking path is closed during home games and we had to go all the way around, it was about 1.5 miles. Food was tasty and good, but we were a bit disappointed that they only offered only one brunch item; steak and eggs... all other items were later lunch/dinner items, as we really didn't feel like fried calamari at 10am in the morning... hoping that they expand their brunch menu for future games.
- Special AnniversaryOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/23/2014This was our 45th wedding anniversary. When we arrived we were greeted with a comment of "45". My wife didn't know it, but I had put in your reservation that it was our 45th. The Maitre'D and everyone who attended to us on our special evening congratulated us on our milestone. Truly a special evening all around. Thanks to Dennis, our waiter and all the others for a great memory.Special Features:

- Always ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/20/2014All the staff is exceptional and always make me feel special. Not that I have my own booth or anything (I do!). The food is excellent and it can be challenging for that final decision. Of course, with a martini or lovely glass of wine that helps.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food, Drinks, & AtmosphereNTHKDined on 8/20/2014I come here all the time for lunch with colleagues. I love it. The food is always good and so is the service. It's a little pricey however. For 2 people to have a regular lunch is ~$50-$60. I've had every salad and they're all good. Great burgers and sandwiches. You really can't beat the raw bar. Big parking lot in the back so you never have an issue. Especially since all the places in this area for lunch are always packed and you can never get parking. I would suggest always making reservations because they can get very packed.Special Features:
- Latest LunchOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 8/20/2014Had lunch with clients the other day. Good food, good service, just too many interruptions from the waiter trying to upsell us on water, specials, dessert, drinks. Nice guy but on the edge of annoying. A softer approach would have been appreciated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 081814 Birkshard2pleaseDined on 8/18/2014The menu at Birks suggests that carnivores should be satisfied and, in general we were. The prime rib that my wife ordered was well trimmed of fat a generous portion of nicely cooked meat. On the other hand my 8 ounce prime rib ordered medium rare was pink in the center but overcooked and dry. There was no juice on the plate even after cutting to eat it. Had our waiter checked back, perhaps the situation would have been corrected before I had satisfied my hunger (it was edible). Overall the service this night was OK just not timely. The atmosphere at Birks is clubby and loud but civil. We requested a seat in a quieter part of the restaurant so it was pleasant enough. I would return to give it another try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WhiplashDined on 8/16/2014Outstanding experience. Service, food and ambience was excellent. Definitely recommend and will be back!Special Features:
- Filet mignon-yes, pork loin-NORonMDined on 8/16/2014My friend and I had dinner on Saturday night at Birk's. We enjoyed the restaurant's ambiance and the waiter's banter and availability. I ordered the filet mignon with blue cheese and thought it was cooked perfectly. She ordered the pork lion so we could share each others selection. We both thought that her pork loin was a good portion but was dry and over cooked. My mistake was not sending it back to the kitchen for her and ordering her a replacement right away. About halfway into our entree, our waiter did ask how our food was and we shared our disappointment with the dryness of the loin. She even demonstrated for him by showing how hard to was to slice. He apologized but offered no options or remedies. I expect better from Birk's.Special Features:

- Lively at Birk'shistandardsVIPDined on 8/15/2014I always enjoy Birk's because the food is quite excellent, and reasonably priced for the quality level. There's generally a lively business lunch crowd most weekdays, and bumping into friends and colleagues is not uncommon. The service is quite good and reasonably attentive, given the crowd. The menu tends to vary to remain interesting, while the usual standards are maintained, but always prepared to a high standard. The noise level is the only real issue with Birk's in my opinion. Energetic is an understatement! Would love to see some creative noise mitigation brought to bear, without compromising the bright and airy interior. Interesting challenge!Special Features:

- Sunday Night at Birk'sPP63Dined on 8/10/2014Birk's is one of the best steakhouses in the south bay. I met a friend there for dinner on Sunday night. I ordered the 8 oz. filet mignon. It was right off the grill and very tender. The baby gem salad is my favorite. My friend ordered the ceasar with anchovies. She said it was really good. And I value her opinion since her father was a famous chef in the area. She knows good food. During the week Birk's happy hour is full of local movers and shakers. It is a vibrant bar scene. The bar menu offers excellent food. There is always fresh seafood on the menu. The fried calamari is hot and crispy and a must order. I take friends and clients to Birk's on a regular basis. They are always impressed by the atmosphere, food, and drinks.Special Features:

The spirit of the Blues is in evidence once again when Kevin Kilbane reveals that Everton is the best place he has ever played club football, however, Everton's Carling Cup hopes end for another season with a 1-3 defeat to a young Arsenal side.
Despair turns to joy once again when David Moyes signs a new deal with the club, which will see him remain at Goodison until 2009. He says: "I am ever so pleased. The opportunity to sign a second contract at Everton doesn't come around very often, whoever you are. I am delighted and extremely humbled to receive it because I realise that a big part in me getting this is because the players have performed well."
A day later, Everton impress again, overcoming Birmingham City 1-0 at St. Andrew's. Muzzy Izzet punches Lee Carsley's shot off the line and fellow midfielder Thomas Gravesen converts the resulting penalty.
Seven days on and Everton chalk up their sixth win of the season when Fulham visit Goodison Park. The game brings Tomasz Radzinski back to Goodison and his former fans give him a 'hot' reception. Duncan Ferguson scores the deciding goal. Moyes is delighted saying: "It doesn't matter how many you win games by as long as you do."
Everton then come from behind to gain a point at Newcastle. Craig Bellamy puts the Magpies ahead inside five minutes, but equalised through Lee Carsley's superb free-kick in the second half.
