(PEORIA, Ariz.) January
25, 2007
– More than $14 million in regional transportation funds from the countywide
half-cent transportation sales tax have flowed into the city's coffers in recent
months. This money is a reimbursement to the city that covers part of the costs
for the design, land acquisition and construction of Lake Pleasant Parkway, a
road with both local and regional importance.
"When the extension of the
countywide transportation tax went to the voters in 2004, people were told how
that money would help them locally," said City Engineer Dave Moody. "This
project shows how that promise is being fulfilled, how that regional fund has a
local impact."
The new four-lane segment of Lake
Pleasant Parkway between Williams Road and Westwing Parkway, which includes a
critical traffic signal at the intersection with Happy Valley Road, opened to
traffic in September. When the initial $7 million reimbursement arrived in June
2006, Peoria became the first Valley city to receive a disbursement of half-cent
sales tax money for an arterial street project after the extension was approved
by voters in November 2004.
The city expects to receive
additional money beginning in 2011 to further increase capacity on Lake Pleasant
Parkway. Two other Peoria street projects will be partially reimbursed through
the half-cent sales tax — Happy Valley Road from Terramar Boulevard to Lake
Pleasant Parkway, and the Beardsley Road connection to Loop 101.
The Regional Transportation Plan,
funded by the half-cent sales tax, supports countywide road construction
including freeways, transit and arterial street projects.
Peoria voters approved a local
three-tenths cent sales tax in September 2005 that will start to affect
transportation construction in the coming months. $1 million generated by that
tax is going to traffic signal improvements in the current fiscal year. Next
fiscal year, the tax will contribute $15 million to the construction of Happy
Valley Road between 75th Avenue and Lake Pleasant Parkway, and $5
million toward widening Thunderbird Road from Loop 101 west to 95th
"These are very important and
very expensive projects," Moody said. "Every dollar is critical."

savory and very tasty.. i love the beans and all the tectures and flavors of this meal. very filling
Way too dry and way too much bread crumbs. I didn't even save the leftovers.
This was pretty dry and there were too many bread crumbs. Think I would cut the bread crumbs in half and add one cup of chicken broth instead of 3/4. Taste wasn't bad.
My husband and I loved this. We used jalapeño sausage. Very good!

Volkswagen Australia has today announced pricing and March 1st availability of the 2011 Amarok, the company's first foray into the dedicated pick-up segment.
Forming the fourth model series in the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand, the Amarok is the first one-tonne class pick-up to be developed in Germany.
Entering the market as a major part of its assault on Toyota's position atop the global sales ladder, the Amarok faces off against the likes of the Toyota Hilux, the Nissan Navara and the Mitsubishi Triton.
Since its coming was announced, Australia - where 4x4 'pickup' sales are dominated by the Hilux and the Navara - has been marked as a "key market" for the Amarok.
Importantly for the Australian market, the Amarok is also the first ute in its class to gain a 5-Star ANCAP crash safety rating, with the score applying to variants equipped with permanent all-wheel-drive or selectable four-wheel-drive 4MOTION systems.
Drawing design cues from across the segment and within its own ranks, the Amarok's styling - crafted by Volkswagen Chief Designer Walter de'Silva - is far from revolutionary. Its look is, however, perfectly utilitarian and strong.
Up front, the new ute features Volkswagen's now familiar letterbox grille and rectangular headlights, while the front bumper also takes its inspiration from the brand's passenger line-up.
Flared guards stand out against a robust-looking but otherwise unremarkable profile, while the rear end is dominated by large corner taillights with with deep red lenses.
The Amarok is available in Australia in four trim and specification grades.
The entry-level Amarok 2WD workhorse features a rugged rubber floor covering and hard-wearing materials, while the higher-grade Trendline, Highline and Ultimate variants get carpeted floors and more trim options.
The Highline also offers a leather steering wheel, along with a leather gear shift knob and handbrake lever.
Volkswagen describes the Amarok as a full-fledged five-seater, although the rear row can be converted to extra internal cargo space by folding up the rear seats and backrest.
The rear cargo space of the dual-cab Amarok - the only bodystyle available for now - measures 1555mm long and 1620mm wide, yielding a load area of 2.52 metres squared.
The Amarok offers a load space height of 780mm, while space between the rear wheel wells is 1222mm, making it possible to load Australian- and European-standard pallets sideways - a first for a mid-size ute.
Aimed at the tradesman, the entry-level Amarok gets unpainted bumpers, door handles and outside mirrors, with tough textured black surfaces. Also standard are 16-inch steel wheels and load area lighting.
Other standard features include heated and electrically-powered outside mirrors, and remote central locking.
Inside, the basic Amarok gets height-adjustable front seats and a variable folding rear bench.
Next up in the range is the Trendline, equipped with body-coloured front bumper, door handles and outside mirrors, and a contrasting black rear bumper. Alloy 16-inch wheels are standard here, along with front fog lights.
The Trendline also gets Volkswagen's Climatic electronically-controlled air-conditioning, and the RCD 310 CD/radio system with four speakers in the front of the interior.
Cruise control and a multi-function display are also standard with the Trendline, and there are additional storage bins beneath the front seats of the Trendline grade.
The penultimate Highline grade gets more luxury-oriented details inside and out, gaining more distinctive wheelarch flares and 18-inch aluminium wheels. There are also chrome accents for the front bumper and the outside mirrors, and dark tinted glass in the rear and a chrome-plated rear bumper.
Adding to the Trendline's interior appointments, the Highline gains chrome accents to the gearshift, air vents and steering wheel. The more advanced RCD 510 CD/radio system is also featured, with six speakers installed in the cabin.
At the top of the range is the Amarok Ultimate, adding 19-inch alloy wheels, prominent side steps and stainless steel sports bars, along with 'Ultimate' badging inside and out.
The Amarok Ultimate is available with selectable four-wheel-drive and permanent all-wheel-drive 4MOTION.
Volkswagen offers a number of options for the Amarok, including hard and soft tonneau covers for the rear tub, and a moulded tubliner or boot mats, formed to the contour of the tub.
A towbar is available as an option, and Bluetooth handsfree is also available.
On the safety front, the Amarok is equipped with driver and front passenger airbags, along with front head/thorax side airbags as standard.
Other standard safety features include electronic stability with brake assist and ABS, off-road ABS/ASR and EDL (see Mechanical Package).
the Amarok is also the first ute in its class to gain a 5-Star ANCAP crash safety rating, with the score applying to variants equipped with permanent all-wheel-drive or selectable four-wheel-drive 4MOTION systems.
The Amarok line-up is powered by one engine: a 120kW 2.0 litre four-cylinder diesel engine, featuring bi-turbo charging and 400Nm of torque availabe from 1500rpm.
Three different driveline systems are available for the new Amarok: rear-wheel drive for the entry model, rear-wheel drive with selectable 4MOTION four-wheel drive for the mid-range models, and, for the Ultimate variants, a permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive system with standard comfort suspension and a Torsen differential.
Normally, the distribution ratio for the permanent all-wheel-drive 4MOTION is 40:60; however power distribution can be varied according to the properties of the road surface.
All three driveline versions have an Electronic Rear Differential Lock (EDL) which operates by automatic braking interventions that prevent wheel spinning on one side of the vehicle.
Volkswagen also offers a rear differential lock as standard on all 4MOTION models.
The selectable four-wheel-drive 4MOTION system also offers additional off-road gear reduction in its low setting, allowing for extreme crawler drives and enabling inclines with up to 100 percent grades (on a 45 degree incline angle).
In off-road environments, the Amarok's approach angle is rated at 28 degrees up front, and an exit angle of 23.6 degrees. Volkswagen says the Amarok can also handle water passes up to half a metre deep.
Paired with a six-speed manual transmission and the 2WD system, the diesel engine lists fuel consumption figures of 7.7 l/100km. Matched to the 4MOTION selectable or permanent 4MOTION all-wheel-drive systems, fuel consumption climbs to just 7.9 l/100km.
Suspension is managed by a dual wishbone suspension up front with cast bearings and a spring displacement of 190mm, designed for off-road capability while permitting high loading.
There are two running gear options: for the 4MOTION variant with permanent all-wheel-drive, a comfort suspension is used, consisting of a 2+1 trapezoidal spring pack for suspension, noise and vibration comfort. The gross vehicle weight rating for this version is 2.82 metric tonnes.
In conjunction with the standard Heavy Duty package, the Amarok can handle a load of up to 1157kg. This package is standard on the rear-wheel drive version and on the Amarok with selectable 4MOTION drive, featuring a very high-load 3+2 trapezoidal suspension with three primary and two additional spring packs.
The Amarok has a towing capacity of up to 2800kg (750kg unbraked) and and allowance for 280kg of downball weight. The gross weight of the vehicle-trailer combination may reach up to 5.5 metric tons.
Off-road action is assisted by a number of safety systems, including ESP and Off-Road ABS, Hill Descent assist at speeds below 30km/h and Hill Hold Assist.
The Amarok's Electronic Differential Lock automatically acts on all driven wheels, increasing traction on surfaces where tyre grip differs on either side.
Anti-Slip Regulation and engine drag torque control are featured in models with 2WD and selectable four-wheel-drive.
The 2011 Volkswagen Amarok is on sale around Australia from March 1.

- It's not a UTE its a Pick-Up.. it uses a rigid ladder truck type chassis with a bolt-on body and tray section - like the Hilux Navara and Triton
Whereas a ute is a commercial vehicle with an integrated open cargo area which is built on the same platform as the sedan from which its derived.. Like the original Ford Coupe Ute back in the 30s and the current VE Commodore Ute
- Not to impress by the Amarok, it's visual appeal isn't great at all, People like my self don't alter our thoughts and give to thumbs up with a kid Grin. These four door utes have always been missing quality interior and it appears as though vw has answered. The styling however are plain old conventional, the styling cues are most probably borrowed from the nissan nirvara being rounded at the edges. The headlights have been dissected with sections to give it an agressive appeal. I'm forecasting the sales for this amarok will be purchase by cashed up bogans or classes with alot of as$es. People who buy toyotas don't worship a motor vehicle, they may enjoy the drive but they don't kiss the metal , they have better things to do then worry about paint chips on their new pick up.
- 'styling cues are most probably borrowed from the nissan NAVARA' - your kidding? How about styled based on the other VW cars in their fleet!
VW has a very distinct design and this car will be purchased by those who are sick of toyota and nissan punching out boring cars!
- Super Mattthew says,
5 years ago1 likeIt's got 400Nm of torque, I'd call that powerful enough...
- Girly boy? Me thinks you need to have a look at the other competitors again...
Until the new Ranger arrives, this has to be the best "Pick-Up" (I'd still say ute - there's no official definition, geez) in Australia! I rate the exterior above all others and even the interior is a step up from the others as well. But, as I said, the new Ranger certainly looks mightily competitive compared to the Amarok - both inside and out.
This and the new Ranger could be the start of a new era for this segment too - Toyota and Nissan have had it too long in popping out boring, undesirable utes that are brought only for the work they are needed for. Why can't a ute have a car like interior that doesn't make it a depressing place to be on long family journey's?
Powertrains seem adequate compared to the current competition, but with the 3.2L I5 DT coming in the new Ranger, those seeking some pulling power may just have to bypass this one...
All in all, great job VW on your first UTE. Already ahead of the pack!
- You got to be kidding,the car hasn't even been released in Australia & your claiming it has to be the best pick up in Australia.Are you a VW CEO or something?
This is a rich mans city 4x4 that will climb many speed humps with its 22in chrome wheels.It will more than likely never see any true 4x4 action.
I'd rather stick with my MY11 Hilux SR then that unproven junk.If i really wanted to upgrade my 4x4 i'd buy a landcruiser & if i wanted to upgrade my small car i'd buy a VW Golf GTI or R32.
- Yes Mr Ben it looks girly boy.
The wheels are too small for its arches,and the front is more Golf than toerag and a bit Great Wall in appearance.
Overall a bit soft looking and in this market segment that spells disaster.
Like it or lump it these types of vehicles sell mostly to Tradies not family men towing their jet ski.
- Saw one being driven by my neighbour today. They are much smaller than i would have thought.
At the end of the day, while the concept is fine, given the price difference between say a trendline 4x4 @$44k and a GL-R triton (which i have had two) for $37k drive away, I cant see the market being taken by storm or Amarok. Not when the new colorado etc are all on the way.
- I'm a bricklayer, my mate has a brand new 50k navara for work, and our mate has a brand new hilux for work. All of us use our cars on road and off for work and for day to day life,from safeway to knee deep mud pits of sites. The only difference is I have a amarok. Both of them have said if they had their time again they'd get one too. Non of us are car freaks or 4x4 heros, we just bought a work car, and when we compared the 3 between each other the amarok was seen to be the overall favorite.

Capital expenditure
People and organizations
|Business portal
Capital expenditures (CAPEX or capex) are expenditures altering the future of the business. A capital expenditure is incurred when a business spends money either to buy fixed assets or to add to the value of an existing fixed asset with a useful life extending beyond the taxable year.
CAPEX are used by a company to acquire or upgrade physical assets such as property, industrial buildings or equipment (PP&E).[1] In the case when a capital expenditure constitutes a major financial decision for a company, the expenditure must be formalized at an annual shareholders meeting or a special meeting of the Board of Directors. In accounting, a capital expenditure is added to an asset account, thus increasing the asset's basis (the cost or value of an asset adjusted for tax purposes). CAPEX is commonly found on the cash flow statement under "Investment in Plant, Property, and Equipment" or something similar in the Investing subsection.
Accounting rules[edit]
For tax purposes, CAPEX is a cost which cannot be deducted in the year in which it is paid or incurred and must be capitalized. The general rule is that if the acquired property's useful life is longer than the taxable year, then the cost must be capitalized. The capital expenditure costs are then amortized or depreciated over the life of the asset in question. Further to the above, CAPEX creates or adds basis to the asset or property, which once adjusted, will determine tax liability in the event of sale or transfer. In the US, Internal Revenue Code §§263 and 263A deal extensively with capitalization requirements and exceptions.[2]
Included in capital expenditures are amounts spent on:
- acquiring fixed, and in some cases, intangible assets
- repairing an existing asset so as to improve its useful life
- upgrading an existing asset if it results in a superior fixture
- preparing an asset to be used in business
- restoring property or adapting it to a new or different use
- starting or acquiring a new business
An ongoing question for the accounting of any company is whether certain expenses should be capitalized or expensed. Costs which are expensed in a particular month simply appear on the financial statement as a cost incurred that month. Costs that are capitalized, however, are amortized or depreciated over multiple years. Capitalized expenditures show up on the balance sheet. Most ordinary business expenses are clearly either expensable or capitalizable, but some expenses could be treated either way, according to the preference of the company. Capitalized interest if applicable is also spread out over the life of the asset.
The counterpart of capital expenditure is operational expenditure (OPEX).

Ooh is that a Brill? Lovely fish, I had some tonight filleted, crumbed and deep fried.
Yes, brill. In NY it's helpful to refer to some fish (brill, john dory, some others that I'm blanking on) by their french name, because many of the fishmongers are quite sketchy with their product labeling (*cough* Citarella), e.g. labeling local silver dory as John Dory, petrale sole as brill, and greenland turbot as actual turbot. . . .

Recipe was adapted from http://movida.com.au...illera-de-buey/ Also added some rosemary sprigs and substituted normal sherry for the Pedro Ximenez. Seared the beef cheeks, prepared the sauce and then reduced it to approximately 300ml. Bagged the cheeks in pairs with the sauce and cooked for 9 hours at 81 degrees. Strained the bag juices and reduced it till glossy and thick.
Texture was fantastic, all of the collagen had melted and the meat was on the verge of falling apart and was wonderfully moist.

Tonight's theme was garlic and red chile, slowly fried in olive oil.
Shrimp with garlic and red chile, cumin, paprika, cayenne, S&P, and parsley. Served with spaghetti aio e oio and our usual salad. I will admit to licking the ridiculously compelling sauce off the plate.

For years I've been looking for something that might replicate my beloved chicken stew and black beans with rice from the long-gone Sucelt Coffee Shop on W. 14 St. Tonight I made this Dominican pollo guisado with frijoles negros. Not really like Sucelt's (their stew was saucier and had tomatoes, and would have been served with maduros and agrio de naranja), but it was good.

Homemade chicken boudin seasoned with rosemary and garlic. My first try making boudin and it came out really tasty.
This will be dinner tomorrow night. A perfectly good ribeye broken down into four servings plus trimmings reformed with moo glue.
The individual portions were then vacuumed bagged to enhance the bind. The trimmings were formed into a log and I'll put them in the circulator to finish.

hope to see pics of the finished bits!

Thanks rotuts. Here's the steak after spending the night under vacuum.
And after the grill. Pretty good adhesion overall on the bacon.
And the proof is in the pudding. Cooked to my wife's spec's with potatoes anna and wedge salad.
I also cooked some feta sausage based on a recipe from Len Poli's site. A great resource for many different sausage formulations.

Steve -- great guanciale. #IWantSome
patrick -- Dominican food is great stuff.
tonight -- three new dishes, one of which goes on permanent rotation.
Roasted winter fruit salad, with Chinese lap cheong sausage and leek greens
Roasted winter fruit salad -- grapes, Cara Cara oranges, extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, fresh thyme. Roast at 350 F for 15 minutes.
Dressing -- 1 teaspoon fennel confit liquid (see below).
The leek greens are raw and were sliced into a chiffonade. Nice onion flavor that's not overwhelming.
Fennel confit
Adapted from this recipe, with changes below: http://www.thekitchn...-fennel-l-28972
1/2 fennel bulb, sliced; 2 shallots, thinly sliced; 1 lemon, quartered; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter; 1/3 cup olive oil; sea salt, black pepper, peperoncini, fennel seeds. In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, add butter and olive oil; melt butter. Add fennel, lemon and shallots. Season with salt, pepper, peperoncini and fennel seeds. Cover tightly, then braise for one hour or until the fennel is soft and almost falling apart. You can serve as is, or process in a food processor until smooth. Garnish with chopped fennel greens.
It's a little sweet, a little savory and quite lively. I'll be using it all week.
And the confit liquid will make a killer vinaigrette base.
This will become part of my repertoire btw.
Green chard, with garlic, raisins and pine nuts
This is a variation of the tapa that typically contains spinach.
Arctic char, with cockles and scallion broth
The char and the cockles were cooked separately, then plated.
Scallion broth consists of shallots that were sautéed in olive oil, to which was added chopped scallions, white wine and 3/4 lb. cockles; these were steamed until the cockles opened, about 3-4 minutes.

- How to Read a Study Record
The arthritis-specific Arthritis Self Help Course (ASHC) and the more generic Chronic Disease Self Management Program (CDSMP) teach generalizable skills for managing arthritis and other chronic diseases. In some locations it may be more feasible to combine efforts and offer the generic course rather than the arthritis-specific program. However anecdotal evidence has questioned whether people with arthritis obtain as much benefit from the more generic course as they do the arthritis-specific course. The primary purpose of this research study is to compare health outcomes among people with arthritis who participate in either ASHC or the CDSMP. The University of Illinois Project is emphasizing recruiting a balance of uran and rural participants. The results of this research will be used to guide Arthritis program recommendations on the use of ASHC and CDSMP to improve the quality of life for people with arthritis.

Publisher's Description+
This newest version retains the easy-to-use layout of previous versions that gives users a complete financial picture on one screen, but adds enhanced functionality and better data reporting and management tools. CommonCents is based on the envelope budget system, which assigns income and expenses to specific budget categories. Traditional envelope budgeting works with cash divided into paper envelopes. While a cash-only budget is an effective way to control spending, it does have limitations. CommonCents software improves on the traditional paper envelope system with the ability to provide a written history of all income and expenditures with real-time account and envelope balances. It also gives users the ability to manage all financial accounts--checking, savings, investments, credit cards, mortgage or other loans, and even cash.
CommonCents is as flexible as a spreadsheet, but simple enough that most people can get started quickly. The software comes installed with a default list of budget envelopes and account types that can be edited as needed. The user-friendly main screen includes a familiar checkbook-style register to record income and expenses, a panel showing all financial accounts with current balances, and a list of envelopes with current balances. Envelope and account balances update automatically with each transaction recorded. Powerful, time-saving features of CommonCents include the ability to automatically distribute income to envelope categories using fixed amounts or percentages, speed data entry by importing and editing information from financial institutions, split transactions into two or more envelopes, transfer money from one envelope to another, reconcile accounts, and archive and backup data.
What's new in this version:
Version 184.108.40.2064 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Best: Heath Slater Should Wrestle The Ryback Every Week Until He Wins
I hated almost the entire first hour of Raw, and obviously everything post-Lawler collapsing was hard to get into, but there was a sweet spot right in the middle where I started enjoying myself. As predictable as it is, that centered around Heath Slater, The Ryback and the Daniel Bryan and Kane anger management stuff with the Prime Time Players. In this interest of this not being the most drab column of all time, I've decided to just put all of those moments right here.
So yeah, Heath Slater wrestling Ryback. I'm trying my best to get Destiny on the Heath Slater bandwagon. It's not working, because she hates his hair. I tried explaining how the hair is actually beneficial to him, because when he gets punched he can just snap his head around and the hair goes flying like his head's exploding. I pointed out how awesome it is to see him get shoved into the ropes, go through them, flop to the outside and keep moving forward. She laughed at his sell of Ryback's clothesline, and how he sold a powerbomb by gasping around like a fish and rolling over onto his stomach. She's not there yet, but it'll happen. Also I think he might have to stop shouting BAYBAYYYYYY.
The only Worst for this is the Goldberg chant, which, like I mentioned when it very first started, people will continue to chant now because they're "supposed to". It's what all the other crowds do at the beginning of Ryback matches, so the 10-year olds will chant "Goldberg" with no idea who he is or why they're doing it. You don't remember Goldberg or Albert you little nerds. People seem really into "feed me more", though, so maybe it'll even out over time, and we can start up with the more appropriate chant: "RVD".
By the way, I'm officially naming September "Convince Someone You Know To Like Heath Slater Month". I'll expect a full report about your progress in our comments section on the 30th.
Best: The Hug It Out Video Package
I didn't think they could make the Hug It Out moment between Daniel Bryan and Kane any better, but they added slow, dramatic piano music to the build-up and 'Brady Bunch' style happy 60s music to the hug. Outstanding. This video package is more or less the exact opposite of the rest of Raw.
Best: DragonFire*
My love of Kane continues to grow.
I'm not normally a fan of tag teams being thrown together and put into #1 contenders matches you know they're gonna win, because you KNOW they're only together to win the tag titles, but this is working for a variety of reasons. One, their characters have a lengthy, interesting history together. Two, their actual partnership and interaction is the result of weeks of story, which is so competent I'm almost surprised I typed it. Three, they're clearly having a lot of fun, and get to sarcastically tag each other and accidentally chokeslam their way to victories. Four, the tag team division is getting better, but the belts are 100% garbage pail worthless on Kofi Kingston and R-Truth. Putting them on two guys who need something important to do and can add prestige to what you're going for is a great call. Five, it will hopefully lead to them staying a tag team, or at least friends, for the remainder of Kane's run.
I'm not sure I can express how important it is for me to keep Kane in this role. I know we've argued in the comments section before about Daniel Bryan being a wrestling ace who should be willing five-star classics out of Sheamus and shit on the reg, but he's always, always an enjoyable part of the show, and if my girlfriend** and I can enjoy the same wrestling segment on Raw, I consider it a victory.
*This is their official team name. If I can't get Rhodes Scholar to stick, I'm forcing this one to.
**Sorry for talking about my girlfriend so much this week, Raw was f**king depressing. I spent most of the last hour helping her study for a Certified Employee Benefit Specialist test, with flash cards and binders and everything. This was legitimately more entertaining to me than Raw.
Best: The Prime Time Players Rule
I thought they'd be afterthoughts when A.W. left, but the two worst in-ring dudes outside of Eli Cottonwood in NXT history, Titus O'Neil and Darren Young, have somehow gotten where they need to be in the ring and brought their hilarious NXT personae to a Raw audience. I'm so proud of them. In fact, I'm proud of that entire class of NXT people I love so much (AJ, Kaitlyn, Darren and Titus, Hawkins and Reks for a while, hell, even Matt Striker) for stepping up and proving they can be entertaining parts of a show the average WWE fan actually watches. My only three problems:
1. Maxine is gone and probably never coming back.
2. Johnny Curtis deserves a better reoccurring role than "extra wrestler who appears as filler when something dramatic happens backstage".
3. NXT protagonist Derrick Bateman carried that show for a season and a half (with the "half" being 10 times longer than a full season) and does not have a regular on-screen role.
Maybe when USA Guy becomes a huge deal he'll put in a word for his good friend D-Bates.
Anyway, Titus adopting a whistle prop and making football calls to express his feelings on general manager decisions is pretty choice. Also, the afro pick. Also, tucking your custom-made t-shirts into only the front of your custom-made sparkly underpants. Also,

(Evan Habeeb/USA Today Sports)The Mack Brown Revival Tour rolled through Morgantown on Saturday, as Texas beat West Virginia 47-40 in overtime. Following the Longhorns' sixth straight win -- all in Big 12 play -- Texas' Nov. 16 showdown with Oklahoma State suddenly features major conference title implications.For a while, it didn't seem things would work out that way. After Mountaineers quarterback Paul Millard connected with Mario Alford for a 72-yard score with 7:39 to play, West Virginia led 40-37. But the 'Horns were able to answer with an Anthony Fera 24-yard field goal in the waning seconds, and Texas got the ball first in overtime. Case McCoy (27-of-49, 282 yards, three touchdowns, one interception) threw a touchdown pass to Alex De La Torre from two yards out. The defense stopped the Mountaineers on the ensuing possession. Texas' players promptly raced across the field in celebration after improving to 7-2 (6-0) on the year.It wasn't all sunshine for Texas, however, as the 'Horns lost both running back Johnathan Gray and defensive tackle Chris Whaley to leg injuries. Whaley had scored defensive touchdowns in two of the team's previous three games, while Gray was quietly putting together a very solid sophomore campaign. Whaley was carted off the field, and Gray was taken to the locker room before returning in street clothes and on crutches. West Virginia also lost a critical component, as quarterback Clint Trickett left the game following a big hit that left him crumpled on the turf.Obviously, Texas' winning streak has been impressive following the team's disastrous 1-2 start, but losing those two players for a significant amount of time could significantly hurt the Longhorns' momentum moving forward. That's especially true with games against the Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Baylor remaining.The Longhorns' recent surge might not be enough to save Brown's job with a new athletic director in the fold, but it won't be for lack of trying. Texas not only has a pulse, but it's also starting to believe, which is remarkable considering just how close the team was to implosion during a 31-30 win over Iowa State on Oct. 3. Faith is a dangerous thing. Promoted Stories Comments

FAMU plans to host two focus groups -- including one in Orlando -- to get public input on its search for a new president.
The school announced Wednesday it wanted current students, faculty, alumni and other supporters to weigh in on the selection process.
"We believe that it is important to hear from our supporters...about the qualities they seek in a new leader for FAMU," said FAMU Trustee Karl White, chair of the FAMU Presidential Search Committee. "We will use this information to help develop the presidential search criteria."
Former FAMU president James Ammons resigned in July -- seven months after drum major Robert Champion died as a result of hazing following the Florida Classic.
FAMU leaders will host a town hall-style meeting in Tallahassee on October 11 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the FAMU Grand Ballroom. The school plans to hold a second forum on October 27 from 10 a.m. to noon at the FAMU College of Law building in Orlando.
The school will also set up a web site to keep supporters updated on the process of choosing a new president. The online tool will be activated on October 6, according to school leaders.
[Related: FAMU president search web site]
FAMU leaders hope to hire a new president by July 2013.
"We know that this will not be an easy task, but we are willing to do whatever it takes to select the right person," said Solomon Badger III, chairman of the Board of Trustees. "We believe that we can meet this deadline."
