If you major in English at Berry College, you will be engaged in reading, analyzing, writing about and discussing a wide range of texts written in English or available in English translation. You'll complete a 21-credit core curriculum and one of three 18-hour concentrations.
Core curriculum The English core curriculum will introduce you to British, American and world literary traditions. You'll have the opportunity to explore the ethical, aesthetic, intellectual and cultural issues addressed in many different types of literature from a variety of historical periods. You'll also learn methods of literary research and analysis.
Literature concentration The beauty and power of thought and expression, the play of word upon word, and the memorable expressions of many cultures in verse and prose are at the heart of the literature concentration.
If you select this option, you'll gain a thorough background in English and American literature in a series of upper division courses. Seminars will enable you to focus on specific authors, genres or themes. You'll also develop your powers of critical reading and analytical writing.
Many students completing the literature concentration go on to pursue graduate studies.
Writing concentration This concentration emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between reading and writing, between creation and appreciation. You can select courses in introductory and advanced poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction as well as in expository writing and playwriting. Tutorials in any genre are available for advanced undergraduate writers.
Secondary education concentration This is the concentration you are looking for if you want to teach English in grades 7-12. By combining this concentration in the English major with a secondary education minor, you will graduate ready to become a certified teacher with a special endorsement in teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), as well as a strong background in English studies and excellent teacher preparation.
This concentration includes courses in linguistics, Shakespeare, adolescent literature and writing, as well as electives in literature or language. If you choose to minor in education, you will begin taking your education courses in either your freshman or sophomore year.
Visiting writers Each year, writers of national and international reputation come to campus for readings and to meet with writing students. Recent visiting writers have included a U.S. Poet Laureate, a National Book winner and a Pulitzer Prize winning poet to name a few.
Careers for English majors Traditional careers for English majors include teaching, writing and editing. But because graduates skilled in research, textual analysis, critical thinking and writing have a competitive edge in today's job market, opportunities for English majors are diverse. You might pursue a career in law, advertising, publishing, public relations, teaching, technical or creative writing, public or academic administration, library science, business management, insurance, banking, corporate communications, counseling, or speech therapy.
Graduate school Recent Berry English alumni have been accepted to such graduate schools as the University of Chicago, University of Miami, State University of New York, University of Oxford, Hollins University, Vanderbilt University, University of Virginia and University of Georgia.

From Cal cocktail napkins to Mardi Gras beads to heart shaped metallic gold balloons, this party store always has what I'm looking for! The staff is very nice and they're willing to order items that they might not have in stock.
PARTY HEAVEN!! – products they sell are so extradiarny it blows my mind. everything u need for a party is here. excellent. purrfection so much fun !!!!!!!!!
Best Party Store in SF – this store is huge and has everything fun for your party. margarita machine is my favorite. every kind of balloon size shape color, super friendly helpful staff.
Very Poor Service – When I called to inquire about renting a table and chairs for a party, I was informed by Charles at SF Party that we couldn't talk about availability or delivery options before he took my personal information including credit card number. After spending 5 minutes setting up my "account," Charles said that delivery of my order wasn't available at all because it was under the minimum order. What a backwards way to conduct business.
A good place for variety – This place is pretty big and it has variety ranging from bachelorette/bachelor party supplies, children supplies, and all sorts of theme parties for other occasions. After buying here several times, I would say that the customer service is inconsistent but generally okay. Sometimes they are short staffed or seem to be busy with other things. I'd say the prices are probably the best in San Francisco.
Vast improvement – over the past few months SF Party has grown and the store is changing. The selection is getting better and things are easier to find.

Advanced Placement (AP) & International Baccalaureate (IB)
AP & IB News
(Updated September, 2013)
FY 2013 AP Exam Fee and IB Payment Changes
The Department expects to award approximately $28,727,000 in new grants under this program. Based on the anticipated number of applications and other available information, the Department expects this amount to be sufficient to pay all but $10 of the cost of each advanced placement exam taken by low-income students.
Accordingly, SEAs may use AP Test Fee program funds to cover a portion of the cost of each approved advanced placement exam taken by low-income students as follows:
For FY 2013, AP Test Fee program funds may not be used to pay advanced placement test candidate registration fees on behalf of low-income students. Therefore, the candidate registration fees charged by the International Baccalaureate Organization are not allowable costs under this program for FY 2013.

The question for employers now becomes how to help their employees get healthy and stay healthy. One way that employers are pursuing this is by offering on-site care through clinics and pharmacies. It is important to note that on-site care has many advantages, but also responsibilities and risks.
Around Cerner we think of health care as "health AND care," separating out each component as significant to the overall picture of well-being. Part of our "health" journey has included developing a collection of solutions and services that help both us (we are self-insured) and our employer clients manage costs and improve health-related outcomes through better coordination of care, evidence-based practice and patient education. Our overall aim is to improve the health of our, and our clients', associates (and, when included, their dependents) through prevention, early detection, treatment and condition management and occupational health services....

The promise of timely and reliable evidence in sufficient quantities to statistically 'power' health care decisions depends on its quality, its interoperable ontological mapping of concepts (so that "apples" are really "apples") and on the accessibility of the data on which to base discoveries and conclusions.

There is a book (Justifying Intellectual Property) published last June by Robert Merges of Harvard and Cal-Berkeley law schools that you will want to read. It is exciting, beautifully written, and has strong relevance to discoveries and inventions that arise from observational research involving re-use of health data, including 'panel' or population-level data such as are stored in multi-institution EHR-derived data warehouses and HIE repositories. In the book, Merges defends the importance of strong intellectual property protections in the present populist, pervasively-interconnected, social-network-obsessed information age that is so enthralled with unfettered collaboration for collaboration's sake....

During the annual Cerner Health Conference last week, several clients came up to discuss my previous post and associated essay on de-identified health data.

12:53pm Monday 2nd December 2013 in Sport
NEWPORT Gwent Dragons will take on the Ospreys at the Millennium Stadium on Easter Sunday, writes Chris Kirwan.
They will kick off at 4.45pm after Cardiff Blues and the Scarlets have provided a warm-up with their 2pm encounter in the capital.
The west proved to be best in last season's Judgement Day, which attracted 36,174, with the Dragons beaten 28-20 by the Scarlets before the Ospreys edged out the Blues 23-16.
Dragons and Blues season ticket holders get in free and there are early bird offers available at wru.co.uk with adult tickets costing £10 and a family of four pass costing £30.

Tennessee's loss to Kentucky in November has been a common topic of conversation in Knoxville this offseason.
It was Tennessee's first loss to Kentucky since 1984. Tennessee fans were understandably unhappy.
And prospects on the recruiting trail noticed. Questions about coach Derek Dooley's job security filled up the "hot seat" columns during the offseason.
That's why defensive end Jason Hatcher, who committed to Southern California last week, expressed concern about the loss to Kentucky with Tennessee's coaches during the recruiting process.
"I told them, 'You lost to the University of Kentucky. You lose to UK, you lose to everybody because UK finishes last in the SEC every year," Hatcher told ESPN RecruitingNation.
Hatcher, who attends Louisville (Ky.) Trinity High School, committed to USC last week over Louisville. Tennessee had been in great shape with Hatcher before it lost to Kentucky, he said.
It's a reminder that Tennessee's loss to Kentucky and the Vols' two losing seasons during Dooley's first two years in Knoxville have negatively affected the Vols' recruiting. A successful 2012 season for Tennessee is a must if the Vols plan to catch up in recruiting with the 2013 class.
Hatcher's comments also shed light on the perception of Kentucky football versus Louisville among in-state prospects.
Hatcher, ESPNU's No. 4 player in the state of Kentucky for the 2013 class, views Kentucky as a "bottom of the barrel" program. Meanwhile, Louisville continues to make a favorable impression on prospects in the state of Kentucky.
"I don't think Louisville needs to do anything (better in recruiting nearby prospects)," Hatcher told ESPN. "They're doing good. I've just known my whole life that I didn't want to stay home, that I wanted to explore."

These signs of aging include:
• Osteoporosis, or weakening of the bones
• Loss of cartilage, the cushion in the joints
• Osteoarthritis, or wear and tear on the joints
• Increase in blood pressure and heart disease
• Gaining excess weight
• Decreased metabolic rate
• Decreased muscle tone and joint mobility
We can fight each of these conditions, however, with a fitness plan and a dedication to carrying out that plan. A fitness program of regular exercise and a healthy diet can slow or reverse each of these conditions.
Regular resistance exercise, which includes walking and weight lifting, counters osteoporosis by helping bones continue to grow and maintain strength.
Exercise helps produce nutrients that slow the thinning and hardening of cartilage. This helps reduce pain in the joints and keeps them flexible.
For osteoarthritis, exercise and stretching can maintain or improve joint mobility, and strengthening exercise builds muscle that helps support joints.
Walking, cycling or other cardiovascular exercise helps lower blood pressure and keeps the heart healthy.
Eating a healthy diet also helps prevent atherosclerosis, the narrowing and hardening of arteries caused by the buildup of fatty deposits along the arteries' inner walls.
As we age, our basal metabolic rate slows, which means that our bodies burn fewer calories when at rest. Thus, we require fewer calories and we need to eat smaller portions. Continuing to eat the same amounts as when we were younger leads to weight gain. We also need to compensate for the lower metabolic rate by exercising to burn more calories.
When you create your fitness routine, be sure that it includes stretching, aerobic exercise and strength training.
When stretching, you should move every muscle through its full range of motion every day. Be sure to stretch the spine along with all of the muscles. Do this enough to feel the stretch but not pain.
Always do stretching before aerobic exercise. This helps keep muscles supple, improves coordination and prevents injuries It also increases the range of motion of joints, body temperature, heart rate and blood flow to muscles. Stretch with slow and relaxed motions, avoid bouncing and stretch only to the point of mild tension. Hold the stretch for at least 15 seconds each while breathing slowly and naturally. Then relax the stretch. Stretch a little farther each time.
For aerobic exercise, aim for 30 minutes of walking or cycling a day. Start with five or 10 minutes a day, and, as that becomes easy, add a few minutes. Continue to add minutes until you reach 30 minutes a day.
For strength, do resisted exercise every day, using weights for the legs and arms. As with other fitness activities, start out easy with light weight and build up. Move each joint through its full range of motion and avoid causing pain with any exercise.
Remember that none of these activities should cause pain. Pain is not a normal sensation; it is the body's alarm system. If pain persists for five to seven days, see a physical therapist. He or she is trained to assess and treat pain and restore motion. A physical therapist can return you to your active lifestyle or provide modifications to your routine, to help you enjoy exercise.

text: Janell Baum Archives Email Author Arsenic Levels In Rice Prompt Concern Research group pushes government for regulation Published on: Sep 19, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print New data released Wednesday finding "concerning" levels of arsenic in rice has research group Consumer Reports calling for federal action to implement arsenic limits. In testing more than 200 samples of 60 rice varieties and rice products, researchers at Consumer Reports found varying levels of the potentially harmful inorganic arsenic. Some samples, they say, exceeded safe levels. Arsenic, which is found in water, air and soil, can be classified as inorganic or organic. Together, the two make up "total arsenic." Inorganic arsenic, according to the Food and Drug Administration, is the form that has been associated with adverse health effects. However, they say these problems are due to long-term, high-level arsenic exposure.Research group pushes government for regulation The FDA is currently conducting their own study of arsenic levels in rice, and though they are not ready to release full data on their tests, they say data collection will be complete before the end of the year. A Safety Issue? The recent findings have created a stir, but in a statement Wednesday, FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg said the FDA understands concerns and is making analysis of arsenic levels in rice a priority. "The FDA is committed to ensuring that we understand the extent to which substances such as arsenic are present in our foods, what risks they may pose, whether these risks can be minimized, and to sharing what we know," Hamburg said. "Our advice right now is that consumers should continue to eat a balanced diet that includes a wide variety of grains – not only for good nutrition but also to minimize any potential consequences from consuming any one particular food." FDA studies have so far returned "average" levels of inorganic arsenic for rice and rice products tested.

The farming game, invented on the seat of a tractor.
I used to play this games years ago on the farm in Mattawa.
We had a circle and some hand lines for irrigation.
It was kind of fun having something to play that was named after the hills in the area. At night, we could see the lights of some of the cities in the distance.
I was wondering how many have seen or played this game?

I thought maybe it was just me.....
2008, Some of Cathy's kids came over and we got the Farming game out.
They had never played it, so we went over credit limits with the bank, buying acreage for farming, and where live stock could be kept.
We pretty much played all of Mothers Day.
Well........until we went to see my mother.
You know, the one that was riding the Jet Ski with me last Summer at the age of 90.

Joined by the bill's authors, Rep. Jim Davnie and Sen. Scott Dibble, student advocate Jake Ross, and other students, teachers, parents, and supporters, Governor Mark Dayton signs the Safe and Supportive Schools Act into law
Governor Mark Dayton today signed legislation (HF1777) cutting taxes for middle class Minnesotans and businesses.
Governor Dayton's reform proposals include over 1,000 ways to make state government work better for the people of Minnesota.

The MN Dept. of Employment and Economic Development announced that Minnesota ranked fifth among states in employee perceptions of job creation at their workplaces.
Governor Mark Dayton proposed providing additional funding in the upcoming legislative session to ensure that every child has access to a nutritious lunch in Minnesota schools.
Governor Mark Dayton today introduced a bonding proposal that would invest $986 million in infrastructure projects statewide, creating more than 27,000 Minnesota jobs.
Each year, Minnesota families make the choice to adopt – bringing children into their homes and lives, providing love and care for young people who may not otherwise have a family. But adoptions can be expensive, sometimes costing tens of thousands of dollars from start to finish. That is why Governor Dayton and the Minnesota Legislature enacted a new law this session, ensuring financial assistance Minnesotans receive from their employers during the adoption process is 100 percent tax free.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has announced the recipients of $4.8 million in federal grants for Safe Routes to School. The grants will support Safe Routes to School at 138 schools in 50 communities.
The next time Minnesotans file their taxes, more than 650,000 married couples statewide will save an average $115 each, thanks to the elimination of the marriage penalty.

What followed was grainy but clearly visible cell phone video of the young woman being kicked and stoned to death by a frantic mob for the sin of spending time with a young man of a different religious background. The final image showed her lying face down on the ground, her apparently lifeless body surrounded by a pool of blood.
The violence did not end there. According to CNN correspondent Brian Todd, a group of militants later retaliated for the girl's killing by slaughtering two dozen people.

The one really nice thing about the Dundee Bypass (when it's finaly completed of course) would be to consider, just how much faster the Oregon National Guard Units down here, will be able to be react to the rioting, angry, buncha looting & plundering hoards of liberals up there in the Portland Metro area, before they're able to decend upon us like a swarm of insatiable locusts.
Here's another story of waste in government -- McMinnville is required by the state to expand the UGB to accommodate 20 year increments of growth. But a local no-growth organization (friends of Yamhill County) has held up every attempt to comply with the state mandate -- held up for 16 years! The cost to the city to defend those appeals and complaints is far beyond the number credited to Commissioner Lewis. And Mr. Reeves was/is an active member to all those appeals.
How can one complain about an elected official wasting taxpayer dollars, when during approximately the same time period, that individual (and his group) was intentionally running up the tab for Mac to expand the UGB?
So, using a similar approach, how many other city programs could benefit from the money wasted defending all those UGB appeals?
That seems to be a fair, overall assessment of the situation, don't you think?

IATA's DG & CEO called for global standards to be at the heart of framework for ASEAN single market in Singapore on 11 February
Difficult economic conditions do not come with easy answers. But airlines can be forgiven for thinking the current environment is more challenging than most.
The latest IATA forecast warns of a turbulent future. A predicted $3 billion profit in 2012 is based on a steady US recovery and policy measures in China that help that country manage slowing economic growth.
It is Europe that really clouds the horizon, however. Although accepting that the Eurozone crisis could deepen, the IATA forecast warns that a large-scale banking crisis in Europe could easily wipe out profits.
"The deteriorating economic conditions in Europe have led to declining traffic, a decrease in load factors and falling yields," says Brian Pearce, IATA Chief Economist. "Larger network airlines can mitigate the problem by managing capacity and deploying larger aircraft onto routes to stronger markets, but regional airlines in Europe are likely to face a tough time with many European economies looking increasingly weak."
Financial systems have to be up to the challenge of the crisis. "Airlines are watching their cashflow very closely," says Stephen Darnley, IATA Corporate Treasurer. "In an unstable environment, reliability and certainty of payment is very important."
In 2011, IATA handled more than $282 billion through the settlement systems, with 99.97% accuracy in the Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) and 99.99% accuracy in the Cargo Accounts Settlement System (CASS). The Association is committed to continuous improvement in quality of the settlement systems and at the same time will include a 23% reduction in the average BSP unit operating charge by 2017 compared with 2010.
Following the successful migration of the remittance and settlement functions to five regional hubs (Amman, Beijing, Madrid, Miami, and Singapore), work has now begun on moving the remaining back-office IATA Settlement System activities from IATA local offices to these same regional hubs. These migrations will take place on a country-by-country basis, beginning in the third quarter of 2012 until completion in mid-2014. Each regional hub will focus on delivering quality and consistent customer service. Following migration of the various office activities, IATA local offices will continue to perform an active role in managing risks to member funds as the eyes and ears in the marketplace, working closely with local airlines, travel agents, freight forwarders and other industry stakeholders.
"Regionalization brings greater control and reliability," says Darnley. "Country-based settlement brings more challenges in terms of oversight, contingency and segregation of duties, all of which can be mitigated in regional hubs. Automation of the Remittance and Settlement process with a global system known as IRIS improves security and reliability while economies of scale control and reduce costs."
The IATA Clearing House (ICH) is one of the critical IATA financial services. Established in 1947, the ICH allows airlines to bill each other for passengers and cargo traveling on interline journeys. Some 15% to 20% of all airline sales result in interline travel, and as consolidation takes hold as a response to the unstable global economy, this sector looks set to rise. In 2011, the value of interline passenger sales increased 5%.
A lot of work has been done to enhance performance. Greater speed and reliability ultimately leads to a cash-flow improvement, suggests Darnley, which in these times of crisis provides a crucial liquidity boost.
The Simplified Interline Settlement (SIS), for example, automatically processes and settles electronic billing files submitted by airlines through the ICH. SIS is expected to save the industry $500 million every year through paper removal and a more efficient process. In May 2012, the second and final stage of SIS was implemented, extending SIS to cover cargo and the Universal Air Travel Program.
The ICH has also moved to open period accounting. "We now run four settlement cycles per month—on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day of each month, with claims being settled nine days after the relevant closing date," says Nick Coote, IATA Director, Industry Clearing Services. "This is much quicker than the old monthly closed-period accounting, when it could take more than two months for a claim to be settled. This means that we have less cash tied up in the system, which in turn means that there is a major reduction in risk."
There are multiple back-ups for the ICH but, as far as Coote is aware, there has never been any delay in making payments since he began his job in 2004. The ICH now processes a total of $50 billion worth of transactions per year. Approximately $35 billion of that effectively evaporates through the offsetting of billings by one airline against another, resulting in further cost savings.
The ultimate solution for processing global financial transactions for airlines would be to integrate the BSP and currency clearing systems with the ICH.
"If these could be consolidated into a single system, many more payments could be offset against each other," says Coote. "There are logistical and practical problems to be overcome, but it is something we are looking at under our Treasury Platform concept."
For more information on cash management
Accounting for the variety of currencies used in sales is the work of the IATA Currency Clearing Service (ICCS). It converts sales into an airline's home base accounting currency with a normal clearance cycle of four working days (although there is a two-day express service for some currencies). The ICCS is used by more than 270 airlines of varying sizes on all continents. Annual throughput for 2011 was $35 billion.

from Myra Smolev - New York, NY
Serves 6
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Prepare potato pancake batter as per package directions. Allow to thicken and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir. Generously spray 2, 8-inch round baking pans with Manischewitz extra virgin olive oil spray. Pour 1/2 batter into each and bake for 20 minutes or until edges turn brown and crispy. Turn and bake 15 minutes or until pancake is tan. Take out of oven and cool. Meanwhile in large skillet heat up vegetable oil, enough to cover bottom in thin layer. Saute chopped onion until light brown, adding more oil if needed. Add sliced mushrooms and continue to saute until dark brown. Add chopped meat and cook until browned. Place one pancake on a round serving plate. Spread meat mixture evenly. Cover with second pancake. Dot top with marinara sauce. Cut 6 pie portions and separate so you can place a small bowl of the heated sauce in the center. Dip Sloppy Moses into sauce or pour over meat mixture.

Although times only mean so much, Andersson was the world leader in 1939, a few months before the war really began. He was already one of the world's top milers before his competiton was distraction by death and destruction. Hagg, of course, mostly got the better of Andersson. So it's hard to get a real idea of how the war affected Hagg and Andersson -- they still had each other to compete against, even if there wasn't much else.
In 1942, 5 of the top 10 on the combined 1500/mile list were Swedes. In 1943, it was 6 out of 10, in 1944 8 out of 10, in 1945 8 out of 10 again. While South America also continued to compete unaffected by the war, only Sweden had much impact at the highest levels of distance running. (Some Finns continued to race, but mostly in Sweden.) The USA, however, continued to dominate the sprints, hurdles, jumps and throws, just not as much as before and after the war.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This was ordered for a rehearsal dinner and I was very pleased. I did the rounded corners and the pearlized paper. The only thing I would change is the size of font that I selected. It could have been a little larger. I added a lavender toned photo of the bride and groom to the back of the card for an added touch! I must say, we had rave reviews."
"I liked the thickness of the paper...card stock. The colors that I choose (purples) was exactly like the picture showed. I'm also glad I put our return address on the envelopes, very professional looking. I would highly recommend your products."
"I searched for an invitation that would reflect both what my son and fiancé have planned for their wedding and what I have planned for the rehearsal dinner, which will occur at our home and yard. I'm rather formal, while they and their friends are very casual.....This was a perfect design choice! The quality of the stock and printing was as good as I expected and the service was exceptional. Nice job!"
"First time this 'techno-challenged' grandma ordered invites online. Process was user-friendly and simple - customer service is excellent. I forgot to include some important information, and did a live chat with a very helpful rep, who fixed my mistake in no time. The paper quality was good, vibrant color - simple and elegant design - this particular invitation was used for the rehearsal dinner invites."
"The concept of a postcard for this invitation is unique, and I loved the color scheme! Once again, excellent customer service and turnaround. Because this is not a formal rehearsal dinner, I was glad to be able to write my own words to describe what we want to do. I am so impressed with your products and service, I'm sure I'll keep using you when I set up my event planning business!"

1525 Pine St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9410937.789527 -122.420867
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Civic Center
A great dive - in the best sense of the word – I discovered this place on my hunt for a real diner experience in SF and I loved it! Great atmosphere, made nice and kitchy by the excess of holiday decorations hung from nook and cranny. Our waitress was very friendly and our burgers were just what the doctor ordered on that chilly day. We're looking forward to many returns.
My favorite! – Grubstake is my favorite restaurant in town. The service is attentive and polite. The food is awesome and the and the milkshakes are like something out of a dream. the inside is quaint, but clean. it's open quite late, but I've never been there past 2am. So if you want a good meal and a comfortable atmosphere to eat it in try out the Grubstake.
The railroad car setting and traditional American and Portugese cuisine draw an eclectic crowd to this Polk Gulch diner. – In Short
Housed in an old train, this cozy eatery's proximity to the bars and clubs of Polk Street draws a late-night crowd of drunken revelers. The extensive menu features all the dinner favorites, such as burgers and steaks, and the back page is devoted to Portuguese fare. Authentic dishes include codfish with potatoes, onions and hard-cooked eggs, and pork chops seasoned with white wine, garlic and Portuguese spices.
Yummy – I love this place, and the fact that it is open late!
The food is super good and cheap. I love their burgers. Also I think it is the only Potugese place in town.
Skip Mel's on your late nights out, and try this place for a change.
Love the setting! – My favorite aspect of this place (after being open super late) is its setting. The decor is very quaint and original, and I'd imagine that during the day the restaurant would be pretty mellow. I went on a Friday night at 2AM, so this was not the case. We had the pork chops in white wine and it was fairly good, flavorful. The sides to the pork chops were not good. I also tried the jalapeno poppers: the cheese inside was very creamy, which more than made up for the lack of spicyness. I will definitely come back, solely for its open-late hours.
Great atmosphere, hit and miss food – The atmosphere of this nostalgic cafe in an old rail care makes for a hit and miss menu. We dined here late one evening, exhausted after a long trip and looking for anything still opened that had hot food. A big bowl of portuquese kale soup sounded quite good, with a cold salad. We wished we had ordered the big burgers and fries, as they looked far better going by on the trays. The soup was only fair; the salad was terrible. Old tired lettuce with brown edges (a definate miss), but, the best, thick, white, ambrosia like blue cheese dressing I've ever had (a definate hit). We'll go back, but mostly for the cheerful service (I even liked the leering waiter who sat me), probably burgers and fries, and the charming building. Skip the salads, ask for the dressing to go and then try to recreate it.
Late Night Good Eats – Diner Style Cuisine and MeatLoaf like mama used to make. Ask Santos for the "Fire Water" and he will put grappa in your coffee. In my opinion the best cheesecake in town!
The Grubber – This is my favorite late night dining establishment in the city. The food is great with tremendous service, not to mention the food is reasonably price. No matter what time you go into the Grubstake, there's always people in there enjoying themselves. The diner is not that big but it makes for it in coziness.
Yum! – Great atmosphere and food! I recommend the homemade banana cheesecake. Good to know that there's a place you can go to when you get those late-night hunger pangs.
Great eats til 4AM – Great place to go for Portuguese food,and the wine too.Its a great place to go late for late night food.Every time I go out at night.I have to go to grubstake before i go home.You really need to try it for your self.

SPARKS — Democrats and Republicans might finally be nearing an agreement on extending a payroll tax cut for about 160 million American workers, but a few sticking points remain and compromise has been hard to come by in Washington of late.
The payroll tax funds Social Security and the rate imposed on employees was reduced 2 percent over the last year, but that cut is set to expire Dec. 31. However, each side of the political aisle is offering to extend what's being called a payroll tax "holiday" for an additional year.
But Democrats and Republicans split from here.
Democrats not only want to extend the payroll tax cut, they also want to expand it to 3 percent, bringing employees' rate down to 3.2 percent of covered earnings. They also propose reducing the payroll tax on employers.
To pay for these tax breaks, Democrats initially wanted to impose a 3.25 percent surtax on those Americans making more than $1 million. But Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nevada, has indicated that Democrats are willing to scrap the controversial "millionaires tax" in order to get the payroll tax cut extended.
Republicans, on the other hand, have proposed extending the current payroll tax cut but do not want it expanded to include employers. Conservatives in the House of Representatives passed a bill this week that would pay for the tax break with a three-year freeze on government workers' salaries and by contracting the federal workforce by 10 percent. Additionally, Republicans want Americans earning more than $1 million to pay more for Medicare.
But another controversial addition to the bill ensured that it had no chance of passing the Democrat-controlled Senate or a veto by Obama.
One provision includes expediting construction of TransCanada Corp.'s Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would run from Canada all the way to the Gulf Coast.
Democrats have said they would forego a "millionaires tax" if Republicans agree to drop the pipeline amendment.
President Barack Obama has said Congress should not recess for the holidays until a deal on the payroll tax cut extension is reached.
But there is more at stake here.
According to Businessweek, on Thursday House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, "told reporters that Republicans are ready to wind down the year and want to both resolve the payroll tax issue and prevent a partial government shutdown that would occur (today) without an end to the fight over spending."
In addition to the battle over the payroll tax cut, Congress must resolve differences over a $1 trillion spending package that would fund most federal agencies.
The GOP introduced a spending bill this week but Democrats have called for stopgap funding to allow for more time to negotiate without having a partial government shutdown when funds dry up at midnight today.

It took Alabama a quarter to get rhythm offensively, then Kenyan Drake's change-up running style and O.J. Howard's speed gave the Tide a spark.
Alabama's best drive came in the third quarter, going 79 yards in 14 plays after LSU tied the game at 17-17. The Tide did it by attacking LSU's weakness, its run defense, and T.J. Yeldon's touchdown run to cap it put Alabama up 24-17.
The Tide followed that up with a 10-play, 71-yard drive to go up 31-17 early in the fourth quarter, hitting LSU with more Yeldon.
Alabama had its struggles against a good quarterback in LSU's Zach Mettenberger, showing that the Tide's secondary remains a soft spot against a good quarterback.
Still, the Tide defense made arguably the biggest play of the game when Tana Patrick stripped LSU fullback J.C. Copeland at the goal line, after the Tigers had driven to what seemed a likely touchdown on their first possession.
Special teams
Special teams produced one of Alabama's biggest plays of the game, a fake punt in the third quarter.
Up man C.J. Mosley took the snap, turned left then handed to Jarrick Williams going the other way for 6 yards on fourth-and-one, and it kept the Tide's go-ahead drive alive.
The one breakdown came on Odell Beckham's 82-yard kickoff return in the fourth quarter, but Alabama stopped LSU on downs.
The fake punt call and the decision to go at LSU's run defense after the Tigers tied the game were keys.
For much of the first half, it seemed Alabama tried too hard to get explosive plays in the passing game. It worked for the Howard touchdown, but Alabama's best play was to run at the nation's No. 50 run defense.
Shades of the Tide's SEC Championship Game victory over Georgia last season, it worked after LSU had tied the game on the second half's first possession.
The bottom line is that Alabama did not play its best game against a good team and still came away with the victory in one of the few games on the schedule that the Tide could have lost.
In the end, LSU had a mediocre run defense to exploit, and Alabama exploited it. Also, Patrick spared the Tide an LSU touchdown early.
The concern comes from what LSU was able to do in the passing game, showing that the Tide's secondary remains iffy. Should Alabama come up against, say, Florida State in the BCS final, this film should prove useful to the Seminoles.

Pulis deserves credit, but it was time to go
Tony Pulis has left Stoke City by mutual consent, bringing to an end his long and successful career at the club.
I'm actually sat in the sunshine with a bottle of beer in Spain as this is written. Having promised myself I would try to stay offline for at least a day, I bit the bullet and paid 5 pounds for a day's internet pass (it hurt) as I had a feeling we would get some news Tuesday.
It's finally happened, Pulis is leaving. While this news realises everything I have hoped for over the last two seasons -- now it has happened and my own personal campaign is over -- I find myself reflecting on the good times. While Pulis' ways drove me to distraction, he was still the manager to deliver Premier League football to this Stoke fan, to set up a date or two at Wembley for a meaningful cup, to travel to Europe following my beloved team.
He's been an amazing manager -- Stoke's progress on and off the pitch during his time at the club has been phenomenal and he deserves every plaudit he receives for his part in those successes.
That said, the last couple of seasons have seen Stoke regress to a point where those memories are becoming increasingly cloudy, and that's not fair to those achievements or to Pulis. Mutual consent might be a nice way of saying 'I haven't been sacked', but I like to think that Pulis' last act was one of selflessness, a recognition of his own limitations for the good of the club, having come up short when it came to pushing on.
I'm still in shock to be honest. But as much as football is about sentiment, it's also a business and the best move for Stoke City is to move to a more sustainable financial model to ensure the club survives in the longer term, and it's those policies that seemed so at odds with Pulis' own.
With a number of questionable and costly failings in the transfer market, a club of Stoke's size simply couldn't maintain their level of financial commitment to the playing squad. Pulis' insistence on age and experience over youth and evolution was always going to be contrary to the direction the Coates family want the club to go.
Reports of him rarely visiting the Academy will not have sat well with a family who have sunk millions into ensuring their youth setup was up with the best the country has to offer and very much key to the future.
Peter Coates will no doubt have found the decision a very difficult one, but you get the impression that it perhaps had a hand from the younger members of the family, John and Denise, who have long been earmarked to progress the club as an on-going personal asset of their local empire.
Whoever takes charge though will have one hell of a job on their hands and we must praise the owners for acting swiftly in making their decision. They will hopefully do the same in respect of Pulis' replacement, who will need as much time as possible getting used to his new surroundings, the players and most important, the many challenges he will face.
But for now let us congratulate Tony Pulis for the job he has done, let us celebrate the good times and be thankful that he managed to turn around Stoke's fortunes these last few weeks to ensure the club will be in the Premier League once more. You drove me mad, Tony, but I'm glad we had you, I wish you well whether you choose a new project or take some time out to spend more time with the long-suffering Debs and the family over in Orlando.
I'll be looking into Pulis' tenure in more detail over the coming weeks so keep an eye out as we take a trip or two down memory lane.
