Re: Favorit muffin Recipe?Mon, September 7, 2009 - 1:22 PMone of my favorite muffin recipes that I used to make alot was the thing where you made a HUGE batch of batter and it kept in the fridge for weeks, so you could make them fast and fresh for a quick treat. I have the feeling it wasn't as healthy as you'd think it was. It was a very hearty but moist and tender bran muffin, with bran flakes and All Bran cereal in it. I remember it called for buttermilk, which isn't something I tend to keep on hand, so I had to plan it, when I felt like mixing a batch.
Also - when it was just down to her and I in our household, my then young teen daughter decided she wanted them again, and missed the point of keeping the batter in the fridge, for as needed fresh baking. She baked the whole batch at once, and called me in distress when she realized there were WAY too many to eat. LOL Not the same to freeze the baked muffins and reheat, as it was to wake the household with the smell of buttery baking in the morning. I think that was the last time we made them.
Re: Favorit muffin Recipe?Tue, September 8, 2009 - 1:52 PMLiselle, here is the recipe you're looking for. I've been making these muffins a LOT lately, and they are fabulous! the batter is supposed to keep for 3 weeks tho i haven't tested that.
Refrigerator Bran Muffins
This is a heritage recipe that has been around for decades. You can make double or triple batches and always have batter on hand. My mother used to make batches by the tub to feed a houseful of hungry teenagers a ton of muffins.
Store the batter in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to two weeks, then fill the muffin tins that you need and return the rest to the refrigerator for another day.
The following recipe makes about 18 large muffins.
3 cups all-bran cereal such as All Bran or Bran Buds
1 cup raisins
½ cup melted butter
1 cup very hot water
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup stone ground wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
1. In a medium bowl, add the cereal and raisins and then the very hot water. Stir in the melted butter. Set it aside to soak.
2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and stir in the buttermilk and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the flours, salt, and baking soda together until well combined.
4. Make a crater in the dry ingredients. Pour in the egg mixture and the cereal mixture and then stir with a spatula until combined.
5. If you choose to make muffins now, fill well-greased tins two-thirds full. Refrigerate the remaining batter in a covered container in the refrigerator.
6. Bake the muffins for 14 to 18 minutes or until they test done. Let them sit in the tins for several minutes and then remove them to wire racks to cool. Freeze any leftovers.

Re: Favorit muffin Recipe?Thu, September 10, 2009 - 11:47 AMrecent post on Chocolate and Zucchini that made me drool:
Blueberry Oat Bran Muffins
- 120 grams (1 cup) oat bran (prefereably organic; wheat bran may be substituted)
- 120 grams (4 1/4 ounces, about 1 cup) flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- a good pinch salt
- 100 grams (1/2 cup) unrefined cane sugar
- 120 grams (1 cup) blueberries (no need to thaw them if frozen)
- 240 ml (1 cup) plain yogurt (buttermilk can be substituted)
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) vegetable oil (I use extra-virgin sunflower oil)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
Makes about 12 muffins.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a 12-muffin tray* with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bran, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar, until no lump remains. Add the blueberries and toss gently to combine.
In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, oil, and eggs. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, and fold it in gently with a spatula until no trace of flour remains. The mixture will be lumpy, but resist overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tray, filling each muffin mold by about three quarters (to minimize the mess, you can use a spring action ice cream scoop, as recommended to me after my twitter plea). Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, until set and golden. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
Re: Favorit muffin Recipe?Fri, March 30, 2012 - 8:49 AMHave been perusing the Web lately for yummy/healthy muffin recipes, as I can cook a lot at once and they will keep for a while when I don't have time to cook, and they make for a really fast on-the-go breakfast. The blueberry oat bran recipe listed here looks amazing! Some recipes I have seen on ohter sites look great too, but am not sure if they are healthy; one is a cranberry-orange one that uses dried cranberries simmered in orange juice and orange zest. Another is a coconut one (love anything coconut!) Except for added fiber, are these ingriedients healthy? Thought I would bump this old post to see if anyone has new recipes or ingriedients to share. When I try out my recipes, if they are good I will post them!
Re: Favorit muffin Recipe?Fri, March 30, 2012 - 8:51 AMAlso: if a muffin recipe calls for milk, can I use plain yogurt like Fage? Or does this alter texture? Yogurt would definitely be healthier.
Re: Favorit muffin Recipe?Fri, March 30, 2012 - 9:01 AMAnother also (mind is fuzzy today and cannot remember to put everything in one post lol) : If I have a recipe for a bread, such as banana bread, pumpkin bread ect., can I use same recipe and cook as muffins? Do I adjust bake time/heat? Sorry, am newbie to baking. *blushes* I'm working on it!
Re: Favorit muffin Recipe?Fri, March 30, 2012 - 11:01 AMI have used goat milk, yoghurt and creme fraiche in place of milk. In my opinion if it counts, I find it gives a richer taste and yep takes a little longer but it maybe due to my altitude as well... So I always do the toothpick test to see if it is baked enough.
Re: Favorit muffin Recipe?Fri, March 30, 2012 - 1:13 PM. . . fav. muƒƒin recipe ?
Carrot cake w/ cream cheese icing √ Happy Palm Sunday weekend . Rabitts' feet are suppose to be lucky charms , aren't they ? Wasn't so lucky for that rabitt now was it ? Guess what we're having for Easter dinner . . .. clue : Haßenƒuß :)
Re: Favorit muffin Recipe?Sun, December 16, 2012 - 10:42 AM4 small to medium bananas (VERY ripe)
1 cup chopped cranberries
1 1/3 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 stick plus 1 tablespoon (9 tablespoons) soft unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons vanilla flavor
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt butter in saucepan, then take off heat. Mash bananas in another bowl. Beat the sugar into the cooled, melted butter, then beat in the bananas, vanilla and eggs. Fold in the flour baking powder, baking soda, and wheat germ. Add cranberries and coconut. Fold very well, then pour into muffin pan with muffin liners already in. Bake 30-40 minutes. Let sit in pan another 5 minutes before removing.
I LOVE these muffins, they are very juicy. Probably because of the butter lol. The butter pretty much negates the health benefits of the wheat germ and fruits; I want to try making this with applesauce instead of butter, but I don't know how much applesauce to use. I would guess 9 tablespoons, since that is how much butter is used; does that seem right?

Puh-puh-puh-pumpkin face, puh-puh-pumpkin face.
On Tuesday, Lady Gaga revealed the true meaning of her forthcoming studio album's name, ARTPOP. She released a teaser snippet of the title track: "My ARTPOP could mean anything," she sings over the pulsing synth beat. Does that mean that this photo of a man carving the "Do What U Want" singer's likeness into a pumpkin based on her wax figure at Madame Tussauds' NYC location is the single greatest act of ARTPOP ever conceived? Uhhh… why not!
Check out more photos of Lady Gaga's pumpkin portrait, and listen to "ARTPOP" after the jump.
Like, are you even trying to wrap your mind around how f***ing recursive this whole conceit is? This is a photograph of a gourdly portrait that is based on a life-size hunk of wax, which in turn is based on a human being. Basically, we're looking at Lady Gaga, three times removed! OMG, do you hear that? That crashing noise is the sound of postmodernism CRUMBLING TO BITS.
Dance. Sex. Art. Pop. Tech. Pumpkins.
Whew, studying this purported "Reverse Warholian Expedition" sure was intellectually exhausting! BRB, gotta go recharge with that penis jack-o-lantern that Ke$ha carved for Halloween. Bai!
+ Listen to Lady Gaga's "ARTPOP."

The Reality
Why Are the Results So Much Better Than Going to a Gym, Hiring a Trainer, or Working Out By Myself?
If you've tried other gyms, trainers, or workout programs, (or even old-fashioned self-discipline to get in shape on your own), you know they don't work.
Gyms care only about your money. Once you join, who is there to help or motivate you? No one. The aerobics classes are so monotonous and cookie-cutter, that they rarely get you results. Furthermore, most of the trainers at these globo-gyms are high-priced rent-a-buddies bouncing from one job to the next. They're too busy looking in the mirror to pay attention to what's happening with you.
If you're a busy adult, self-discipline doesn't work anymore either. There's just too much going on in our lives these days to plan your own workouts and constantly motivate yourself to stick to it. How long are you going to keep blaming yourself, beating yourself up, or jumping from program to program? It's time to leave it to the professionals.
Most private training programs run by private trainers have good intentions and are run by nice people. But they simply can't match our level of training, service, results, fun, convenience, training hours, perks, amenities, cleanliness, friendliness, and PRICES.
You May Have Tried Other Trainers or Programs – but We're Completely Different
Our main difference is called the ARES 500 Breakthrough ™. That describes our carefully designed routines, done on specific days, at precisely the right intensity. No one else can do what we do the way we do it (and that's why nobody gets these kinds of results).
Plus we make working out so much fun that it becomes almost effortless. You train in a group so there are others to push you along when you're tired or when you don't feel like exercising anymore. Just show up and we'll take care of the rest (and if you don't show up, you'll be hearing from us!).
It should not surprise you that we're New York's #1 Kickboxing Class. In less than a year, our locations have grown to over 1000 members (but since we have numerous location and are open all days of the week, every class is still small and personal).
"I lost 35 Pounds and
"I Lost 56 Pounds in 10 Weeks!"
"I am THRILLED!! It was not difficult at all and I was able to see results very quickly. I am on my 10th week right now, but I will be going for one more week in May! I am excited about the direction I am going. It is so much easier to stay motivated when you are actually seeing results!"
-Casey, 35, Brooklyn, NY
From a Size 10 Pants To A Size 4!
"When I started 12 weeks ago I was wearing a size 10 pants and an extra large shirt. I went shopping on Saturday and bought a size 4 junior pants and size 8 petite shirt. I lost 17 pounds and my cholesterol went from 241 to 194. I didn't like other fitness programs because either they didn't work or they cost too much. Here at ARES 500 the workout routine is fun and I pay less than half what I was paying at my other fitness program. Another advantage is ARES 500 instructors are knowledgeable about overall fitness. They helped me change poor eating habits and encouraged my participation in other activities. I look 10 years younger."
-Brittany Wolf, 29, Bronx, NY
"My Thighs Don't Rub Together Anymore"
"After having two kids I had gained 40 pounds and was in the worst shape of my life. The biggest problem was that my thighs were constantly rubbing together. Since I joined this kickboxing program,I have lost 41 pounds and my thighs don't rub together anymore. I just love this kickboxing class."
-Michelle Mika, 43, Greenwood, IN
"…wonderful way to reduce stress and release aggression"
"For the past eleven months, I have been taking Kickboxing three days a week. In the beginning, I could barely make it through a class. I find that I have more energy now and that working the bags is a wonderful way to reduce stress and release aggression. Overall, I feel better physically and mentally, and I feel that kickboxing has established a permanent place in my life."
-Carrie Shuman, 31, Portland, OR
"It's America's Hottest Kickboxing Class and it will change the way you see yourself!"
"I have always been in pretty good shape but I was still unhappy with my physique. I was going to the gym, attending zumba clases, and I even tried pilates. I had to workout 10 hours a week just to maintain the shape I was in. After being fed up with working so hard yet not retaining results, I decided to try other fitness programs. That is when I found a web special for ARES 500 and decided to give it a shot.
After a short time attending the kickboxing class, I was able to finally reach the results I wanted. Now I attend class once every two weeks and I spend less time than ever working out. This is the Best workout ever!"
-Victoria Johnson, Fitness Model, 26, Brooklyn, NY

Church of Darwin
Marvin Olasky's America
PHILADELPHIA---Since we're starting our ballpark swing in Philadelphia, I wanted to drop in before the game on friends I hadn't seen since 1999, the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. They looked much the same except for tighter security, but the building next to Independence Hall, the American Philosophical Society Museum, had changed: Instead of exhibits related to its founder, Ben Franklin, it was completely devoted to Darwinism.
"Dialogues with Darwin" opened in April 2009 and will run through October of this year. The exhibits, though, did not feature dialogue. One exhibit listed three 19th century challengers to Darwin---Edward Cope, August Weismann, and Hugo de Vries---but we were told that his wisdom had dispatched them all. No one would know from the exhibition that a vibrant opposition made up of Intelligent Design and Creation advocates exists and has the support of most Americans, although few within the scientific establishment.
The exhibition, in short, was hagiography, a life of a saint, with sentences like "Despite the death of three of his children and a painful chronic illness, Darwin persevered in his work." (Actually, as one recent biographer pointed out, it wasn't despite the suffering but because of it that Darwin persisted: He ran aground spiritually because of "theodicy," the question of how the existence of a good God is consistent with the extent of misery in the world.)
The only "dialogue" came in the form of sticky notes that visitors could post. Some were of the "Science is evolution!" genre. Others were kind comments by international visitors. ("American History is very interesting," one Japanese visitor wrote: "I had fun.") But some would not bow the knee to the establishment Baals: One person wrote, "In the beginning God made Heaven and Earth and all that is in it." And another wrote, "I know that God causes micro-evolution, but macro-evolution is too wild for me to believe."
Wild or not, the Church of Darwin is powerful, and has a great spot in Independence National Historical Park, administered by the National Park Service. Whatever happened to the separation of church and state?

CLEVELAND - LB Mike Mohamed has been selected to the Phil Steele 2009 Postseason All-Pac-10 First-Team Defense announced on Tuesday. Other Cal players honored include second-team selections DE Tyson Alualu, TB Jahvid Best, CB Syd'Quan Thompson and OL Mike Tepper. C Chris Guarnero and OL Mitchell Schwartz were third-team choices, while OL Matt Summers-Gavin picked up a third-team spot on the organization's national All-Freshman Team.
Mohamed leads the Pac-10 with an average of 8.8 tackles per game and the team with 105 total stops. In addition, he has a team-high three interceptions that ranks tied for fifth in the Pac-10, as well as 2.0 sacks, 7.0 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, three quarterback hurries and one forced fumble. Mohamed was also responsible for one of the most dramatic plays of the 2009 season when he picked off Stanford QB Andrew Luck at the Cal 3-yard line late in the fourth quarter to preserve a 34-28 Cal victory in the Big Game at Stanford Stadium.
Alualu paces the team and ranks among Pac-10 leaders in sacks (7.5, 0.62 per game, No. 6 Pac-10) and tackles for loss (10.0, 0.83 per game, No. 11-T Pac-10). He also paces the club's defensive linemen and leads all Pac-10 defensive linemen with 60 tackles (two shy of his career-high of 62 in 2008). In addition, he has a team-high-tying two forced fumbles, one pass breakup and one quarterback hurry.
Best was one of the nation's top candidates for the Heisman Trophy during the early stages of the 2009 season and was well on his way to a second consecutive 1,000-yard rushing campaign before being injured on a seven-yard touchdown run against Oregon State on Nov. 7. Best has not played or practiced since the injury that required medical personal to attend to him on the field and transport him to Highland General Hospital in Oakland for an overnight stay. His status for the team's Poinsettia Bowl is uncertain. Despite missing the team's last three games of the regular season, Best continues to pace the club with 867 yards rushing and 16 touchdowns (12 rushing, 4 receiving) that are only one shy of Cal's modern-era record and two short of the school's all-time mark. His scoring average of 10.67 points per game ranks second in the Pac-10 and third nationally. He also ranks among the conference per-game leaders in rushing yardage (96.33 ypg, No. 4) and all-purpose running yardage (122.0 ypg, No. 9). Best was the Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 19 after rushing for 131 yards and a school-record-tying five touchdowns on a career-high 26 carries to lead Cal to a 35-21 win at Minnesota.
Tepper started all 12 games at left tackle after moving to the position for his final season with the Cal football program. He was granted a sixth-year of eligibility following a pectoral injury that caused him to miss his entire senior campaign in 2008.
Thompson also started all 12 games this season to run his streak to all 51 games possible over his four-year Golden Bear career. He regularly draws the assignment on opponents' top receivers and contributed 47 tackles, 4.0 TFL, one interception and a team-high eight pass breakups this season. Thompson is also Cal's active career leader in tackles (254), interceptions (7), passes defended (41) and pass breakups (34, No. 2 all-time at Cal).
Guarnero has started all 12 games at center after taking over the position following the graduation of 2008 All-American Alex Mack.
Schwartz started all 12 regular-season games this season to run his string of consecutive starts over the last two years to 25.
Summers-Gavin had a promising freshmen year with the Golden Bears going 7-1 in the eight starts he made with his absence felt and struggling to a 1-3 record in the four contests he missed due to injury.
Cal finished the 2009 regular season with an 8-4 overall record and a 5-4 Pac-10 mark to finish tied for fifth in the league standings. The Golden Bears have accepted a bid to play in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego on Dec. 23 (5:00 p.m. PT). The Bears will face Utah (9-3, 6-2 MWC), who is ranked No. 23 in the final regular-season AP Top 25 and BCS Standings, as well as No. 24 by USA Today. The game will be televised live on ESPN.

From Grand Theft Wiki
The Trashmaster is Grand Theft Auto's version of the real life garbage truck. As with most other utility/industrial vehicles in the Grand Theft Auto series, the Trashmaster has no functional purpose, with the exception of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Throughout the games, its appearance has remained mostly the same, with the exception of the front cab, which switches around from flat to standard in-between the games. It can be found driving in the industrial sections of each city.

Rick Mallette's wall drawings are the hyperactive cousins of the prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux. They are bodily and sci-fi doodles crowded into whirring, bobbing visions across the walls of galleries. For SeeSawSeen at the Contemporary Arts Center's UnMuseum, Mallette has pushed the work further, offering two grand works — one in invisible ink and the other painted with combinations of red and blue lines that jump out when viewed with 3-D glasses.
When I entered the gallery, I only saw the 3-D mural, a cacophony of outlined shapes and yellow blobs. At one end of the room, glasses and small LED flashlights are available. With the glasses, the visible mural intensifies into a 3-D affair that seems a relevant experiment as more and more blockbuster films are released with a 3-D version. And suddenly the lights in the gallery went off, and the flashlights' use became clear. The invisible ink mural reacts to ultraviolet light and as your light passes across the wall, a mural much more elaborate than the one facing it is revealed. These are not to be missed and will remain on display until fall 2011. 513-345-8400.

Helicopter accidents like the one that killed a pilot and news photographer in a fiery crash Tuesday in Seattle prompted the National Transportation Safety Board to declare the "overwhelming growth" in the U.S. civil helicopter industry its highest safety priority earlier this year.
Newsgathering operations, air tours and particularly the use of air ambulances have "led to an unacceptably high number of helicopter crashes" and more than 500 fatalities since 2004, according to the agency's website.
A veteran news photographer and his pilot, both contracted by KOMO, died Tuesday when their Eurocopter AS350B2 apparently swung around wildly on takeoff from a helipad next to Fisher Plaza, across the street from the Space Needle, and plunged into traffic on Broad Street. At least one driver was seriously burned in the ensuing fire.
It marks the sixth fatal helicopter crash in the past five years in Washington.

- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Seattle's vanishing black community

Most Read Stories
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) last month issued what Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx called "landmark rules for helicopter safety" requiring helicopter operators — including in news choppers — to improve pilot training, upgrade safety equipment and follow stricter flying procedures in bad weather, among other changes.
"One of the problems with flying news helicopters is that you never really know where the story is going to be," said Larry Welk, a past president and board member of the Professional Helicopter Pilots Association and a 15-year veteran news chopper pilot in Los Angeles.
"You need to be prepared for whatever conditions present themselves," he said.
Over the years, he said, technology has increased safety for news helicopter pilots and photographers. Lighter equipment and improved video technology mean pilots no longer have to fly as low as before to get the shot.
But they still have to negotiate around buildings and power lines and be aware of the flying competition. And news chopper pilots often have to take off and land on urban helipads, like the one at Fisher Plaza, surrounded by streets, pedestrians and traffic.
There isn't much room for error, Welk said.
"The worst-case scenario, the nightmare of every pilot, is what do you do if you have a problem someplace like that?" he said. "You are limited in where you can put it down."
At least 10 fatalities and 21 injuries have been reported across the country from accidents involving news helicopters since 1999, according to a review of NTSB helicopter accident reports.
Tuesday's crash was the worst news-helicopter accident in Washington since 1985, when a helicopter rotor hit a television tower guy wire on takeoff in Spokane. The pilot and a KREM-TV photographer, on their way to cover the annual Bloomsday race, were killed.
In May 1980, while covering Memorial Day traffic, KIRO's helicopter and KOMO's Cessna airplane collided in midair over Bainbridge Island. Both aircraft were damaged but managed to land without anyone being hurt.
In 1999, KIRO's Chopper 7 collided in midair with another helicopter over Lake Union. Both were able to land safely.
The pilot of the KIRO helicopter was Clark Stahl, who said that urban flying poses particular challenges, especially during takeoffs and landings. The now-retired Stahl said he persuaded KIRO's management to keep helipad takeoffs and landings to a minimum.
"I basically told them, if something were to go catastrophically wrong on takeoff or landing, there's virtually no place to go," he said. "And falling from a four- or five-story rooftop makes the chances of survival pretty slim."
The NTSB and FAA are most concerned about air ambulances. From 2011 through 2013, 19 people were killed in seven air-ambulance accidents, according to the FAA.
An additional 20 people died in seven accidents involving other commercial helicopters, including those involved in gathering news.
The location of the Fisher Plaza helipad, just a few hundred feet from the Space Needle and Seattle Center, prompted Mayor Ed Murray to call for a review of the city's helicopter landing sites. There are 12 FAA-registered helipads in the city, the bulk of them clustered around downtown.
"If it had been a busier day, this could have been a much larger tragedy," Murray said of Tuesday's crash.
An industry safety expert, Rex Alexander of HeliExperts International, reviewed Fisher Plaza using maps and Google Earth, and said he did not believe it posed any particular hazards. While the Space Needle is close by, he said helipads often have tall buildings in closer proximity.
"I'm not seeing anything that's jumping out at me that says this is an unsafe or dangerous site," Alexander said.

Ancient Egyptian mummies have taken up residence at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
The exhibition Eternal Life in Ancient Egypt, at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, not only highlights the age-old quest for immortality, but also reveals the cutting-edge research tools that allow scientists to understand how people lived thousands of years ago. Through forensic techniques such as CT (computerized tomography) scanning and two different types of facial reconstruction, the mummies are virtually brought back to life for museum visitors.
The largest public presentation of mummies in the Smithsonian's history, Eternal Life traces ancient Egyptians' burial rites and beliefs about the afterlife.
The displays show that humans were not the only species mummified in ancient Egypt. Animals, too, were mummified and included in burials as offerings to gods, as symbolic food and even as pets. Mummified cats, ibises, raptors, crocodiles and snakes — and even a mummified bull — are on view.
Eternal Life, which opened November 17, is a permanent exhibition.
To learn more, see the museum's Eternal Life Web page.

text: By Shari FriedelTribune Staff Keeping their customers riding right is the aim of new business owners James Deaver and Molly Hutchinson, who have recently returned to Grant to open a new business specializing in automotive and truck repair. James, 23, was born and raised in rural Grant, and graduated from Grant High School in 2004. He has had a life-long passion for all things automotive, stemming from his upbringing on a Perkins County farm. Following graduation, he attended Southeast Community College for two years and was enrolled in the Ford ASSET program, graduating in 2006. He has since been employed at Summers-Zoellner Ford and Schmidt Motors in Ogallala, and Crown Ford in Nashville, Tenn., accumulating over five years of experience in the field. With the slogan, "You know it's done right when you're riding rite," the new business offers a full range of service to vehicles including a check of engine lights, all gasoline engines—carbureted and fuel-injected, 4x4s, drive lines, brakes, heating and air conditioning and diesel engines, all makes and models. They have the ability to work on older carbureted models as well as brand new vehicles. James enjoys the work he does, but finds it is most rewarding when the repairs are done and the vehicle is running the way it should. Molly graduated from Ogallala High School in 2005, and attended the University of Nebraska in Kearney as a theatre major. A popular regional singer, she went to Nashville two years ago to pursue a career in the music industry. Two years in Nashville made the couple realize they were missing the small town life, and they made the decision to return to their roots and rejoin family and friends in the tight-knit communities they called home for most of their lives. Molly plans to continue her education in business and accounting classes to enable her to contribute to the business in that capacity. She also plans to continue her singing career, returning to Nashville periodically.

Getting dunked on hurts. It stings. Like a wasp. It haunts you. It scars you. And thanks to YouTube, it now lives forever.
Obviously some dunks hurt more than others. For example, last night, LeBron James decided to ruin Paul Millsap's huge performance by nearly leap-frogging over him in the closing seconds of the game to pull Miami within one point. The crowd went wild, it was clutch, the dunk was ridiculous, Twitter exploded into smithereens, the Heat went on to win the game in overtime and now, Millsap has been added to LeBron's extensive list of people he's ferociously dunked on.
In case you missed the dunk, here it is. But what have you been doing all morning? Sleeping? No, really, why haven't you seen it already? It's so filthy.
Now, there are really only two ways the person who got dunked on can go about this:
A) Move on with their life and pretend it never happened because, well, who likes to be the butt of the joke?
B) Acknowledge it, give props where props are due and just laugh it off because life is too short and, hey, at least people are talking about you, right?
Anyways, Millsap decided to go with Option B after last night's game and took it a little further by offering some friendly advice:
Tough loss but I love the fight of our team. Word of advice "don't be in the wrong place at the wrong time" lol. #igotgot #GoHawks
— Paul Millsap (@Paulmillsap4) December 24, 2013
In the words of Paul Millsap himself: He got got. Now learn from his mistake, people.
Hat tip to Ball Don't Lie for finding the tweet.

Rich Vail Fund Manager Hits Cyclist And Runs, Gets Off Because Charges Might "Jeopardize His Job"
Posted: November 7th, 2010 by Militant Libertarian
Mili Note: So.. this guy shouldn't be given a felony record because it would affect his job prospects. Yet Joe Blow on the street who gets hit with a felony… who gives a shit about his job prospects? Oi..
The rich are different from you and me; they get to hit and run, almost killing a cyclist, but get off without serious charges because it is hard to be money manager for Smith Barney if you have a record. District Attorney Mark Hurlbert is not charging Martin Joel Erzinger with a felony, because "Felony convictions have some pretty serious job implications for someone in Mr. Erzinger's profession," which is managing billions for rich people.
Dr. Steven Milo, the victim, is not impressed.
Mr. Erzinger struck me, fled and left me for dead on the highway," Milo wrote. "Neither his financial prominence nor my financial situation should be factors in your prosecution of this case."
Dr Milo's lawyer notes that the accident had some pretty serious job implications for his client:
He will have lifetime pain,' his lawyer Harold Haddon told the court. His ability to deal with the physical challenges of his profession – liver transplant surgery – has been seriously jeopardized.'
According to the Vail Daily,
Milo was bicycling eastbound on Highway 6 just east of Miller Ranch Road, when Erzinger allegedly hit him with the black 2010 Mercedes Benz sedan he was driving. Erzinger fled the scene and was arrested later, police say.Erzinger allegedly veered onto the side of the road and hit Milo from behind. Milo was thrown to the pavement, while Erzinger struck a culvert and kept driving, according to court documents.
Erzinger drove all the way through Avon, the town's roundabouts, under I-70 and stopped in the Pizza Hut parking lot where he called the Mercedes auto assistance service to report damage to his vehicle, and asked that his car be towed, records show. He did not ask for law enforcement assistance, according to court records.
At Cyclelicious, Richard Masoner is organizing a boycott of a race in Vail next August.
At Change.org, a petition has been started, asking DA Hurlburt "Don't drop felony charges against hit-and-run wealth manager."
Traffic laws exist to motivate all drivers to act in a manner that is safe for other users of the road, including pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers. To those of us who rely on bicycles for transportation and recreation, enforcement of laws that ensure our safety on the road is vital.The enforcement of traffic laws should not differ depending on a driver's ability to write a check, but rather on the ability of the law to motivate drivers to drive safely. What Martin Joel Erzinger is accused of doing is clearly criminal, but dropping felony charges will set a message to drivers that the penalties for neglecting the welfare of others on the road, causing life-altering injury, and showing no concern for the victim might not be as serious as the law indicates.
A hundred years ago, Author Anatole France wrote that "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread." -the rich have always been treated differently in the courts. But this is just so blatant; you or I would not have "job implications" taken into account if we did a hit and run.
In the New York Times today, Nicolas Kristof says that America is turning into a banana republic with its extremes of distribution of wealth. Now it also appears to have become a kangaroo court for the same reason.

DeltaHawk Engines, Inc. was formed in 1996 to answer the general aviation industry's call for a "clean sheet" compression-ignition engine. By 1997, DeltaHawk developed a prototype engine running on a static Velocity airframe. At the time, DeltaHawk had established the mission:
To design, produce, distribute and support lightweight turbo-diesel engines for a variety of aviation and non-aviation uses
That mission holds true today as DeltaHawk continues to anticipate and exceed the needs of general aviation. In 2015, DeltaHawk plans to test and certify their multi-fuel (Diesel or Jet-A) 160-200 horsepower engine family for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification.
The family of engines will become the smallest, lightest, most fuel-efficient and reliable multi-fuel engines on the market. General aviation pilots and mechanics will have an exceptional solution to comply with United States EPA fuel standards by January 2017.
Aviation applications range from small two-seat Light Sport Aircraft at the lower end of the power range, to 6-seat single engine and 12-seat twin engine fixed wing aircraft and 4-seat helicopters at the high end.
The DeltaHawk family of heavy-fuel piston engines combines long-established diesel engine principles with modern materials and design. This forward thinking produces a high power-to-weight ratio product with the added benefit of reduced fuel consumption as compared to equivalent gasoline engines. Because of their simple, durable, and compact design
DeltaHawk engines have found use in these applications:
As DeltaHawk explores the future, the company is committed to building the finest heavy-fuel diesel engines available.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — A Fairbanks priest is in an alcohol treatment program following his arrest earlier this year on a charge of driving under the influence.
The Rev. Sean Patrick Thomson pleaded guilty last month to reckless driving as part of a plea agreement.
Court records show the former University of Alaska priest was sentenced to 10 days in jail, but he will receive credit for that time by undergoing alcohol abuse treatment. He also received two years' probation.
Thomson's attorney, Zane Wilson, called it a "fair resolution."
Ronnie Rosenberg, director of human resources for the Fairbanks diocese, said Thomson's duties, when he returns, will depend in part on the recommendations of his treatment program. She told the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (http://bit.ly/1oLujYo ) Thomson will not return to the university.

The Youngster? Nooooooooooooo!
Radio legend in the state of Iowa for sure
RIP, the guy was awesome.
Didn't know he had so many problems with KIOA
XBox Live: Le Schmick
Rest In Peace. I certainly enjoyed listening to him during my time in Iowa (80's-90's). Great personality, both on-air and off...

I'm sad to hear this. I've spent MANY hours listening to the Youngster.

A very sad day indeed. KIOA should be ashamed for forcing him out. A guy with his credentials should do it until he no longer wants to do it.

It got to the point where I would go to the fair just to see Dic Youngs. I thank him for his generosity and the personality he was on the radio. My dad would pick me up from school every afternoon and the Youngster would always be on the radio playing me the hits from my dads' generation. His affect is not only on the baby boomer generation, but also on their children and grandchildren. He is a great Iowan and will be truly missed.
He personally knew so many of the great recording artists and I always loved little tidbits he would tell about them. Just interesting info you never heard anywhere else. I don't listen to KIOA as much anymore because I liked it better when they were strictly 50's and 60's. I still listen sometimes, just not as often.
Youngsy was such a huge personality in the DM area for so many years, but he always kept his east side pride. I got to know him playing for the high hoopers many years ago, and the big guy could really drain outside shots. He was just a real fun guy to be around in person or thru the airwaves, and just thinking about him puts a smile on your face, but now with a few tears too. God bless his family and may he rest in peace.

Thanks for your question. Please kindly RATE my answer when you are satisfied
Is this a personal application please or a solicitors application?
What is the affidavit to say / what do you envisage is its purpose?
Hi, it is a solicitor's application. I am helping a friend whose father passed away intestate with assets of £80K, so just needed the precedent affidavit that I believe I send in to the Probate Registry with the PA1 and IHT205. I am a litigator and am helping a friend as a freebie so don't have access to any of the probate precedents with my firm.
Thanks. Finally for clarity though I appreciate you are a solicitor but based on what you say do I understand that you are not going to be submitting the application through your firm but are in effect simply helping your friend complete papers for a personal application. Is that correct please?
Hi Joshua, I will submit the application through the firm, so it will be a solicitor's application
Thanks. In tat case you will not need form PA1. Al you will need is IHT205 or IHT400 and the oath for swearing. I will just get you a precedent for the oath.

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
My understanding from HUD's asset manager (HUDPEMCO) is that PNC should have resolved any title issues before conveying it to HUD who sold it to me through their asset manager (HUDPEMCO). HUD had title to the property when (on their behalf), HUDPEMCO/HUD entered the contract with us. The manufactured home was considered personal property because it didn't have its DMV title retired yet. My understanding in real estate is that any personal property left with real property is conveyed to the new owner if left there. Why couldn't we close...Well the title company said that technically, they intended to sell the home plus the land. The manufactured home is titled like a vehicle through the DMV until retired as real estate. This is the reason the contract was cancelled. The DMV still showed it as a vehicle and the title search indicated it was not deeded as real estate yet. Shouldn't PNC have cleared this before conveying the entire real property to HUD? Couldn't my claim be against PNC as well?.
Please let me know if my answer is helpful to you. The website has been experiencing systematic problems lately -- consequently many customers are not receiving my answers. Thanks again.
Thanks that was helpful and made sense. This is my last question/point of clarification. I looked over the HUD sales contract. It reads the following in fine print...
D. Seller may rescind this contract and return all or a portion of
Purchaser's earnest money deposit under the following conditions:
1. Seller has not acquired the property.
2. Seller is unable or unwilling to remove valid objections to the title
prior to closing.
3. Seller determines that purchaser is not an acceptable borrower.
Tender of the deposit shall release the Seller from any and all claims
arising from this transaction.
Do any of these terms or conditions negate my ability to be successful with a claim or file a lis pendens regarding the property...

Test Beds
Highway Vehicles - Hydraulic Hybrid Passenger Vehicle (Test Bed 3)
See video of the HHPV test bed and learn about the CCEFP's infrastructure for this project.
Prof. Perry Li, University of Minnesota
With a growing number of passenger vehicles worldwide and a subsequent increasing strain on petroleum reserves, demand is increasing for improved vehicle efficiency without a sacrifice in performance. To address this demand, the CCEFP is developing a hydraulic hybrid power-train with drastic improvement in fuel economy and good performance to be competitive with other technologies such as electric hybrid, for the passenger vehicle segment. TB3 focuses on power split architectures which combine the positive aspects of the Series Hybrid (allows engine to operate efficiently independant of vehicle speed) and Parallel Hybrid (transmits power through the efficient mechanical drive shaft).
Test Bed 3 Generation I vehicle at University of Minnesota
Statement of Test Bed Goals
The overall goal of this project is to realize hydraulic hybrid power trains for the passenger vehicle segment which demonstrate both excellent fuel economy and good performance. As a test bed project, it also drives and integrates associated projects by identifying the technological barriers to achieving that goal. The design specifications for the vehicle include: (i) fuel economy of 70 mpg under the federal drive cycles; (ii) an acceleration rate of 0-60 mph in 8 seconds; (iii) the ability to climb a continuous road elevation of 8%; (iv) exhaust emissions meeting California standards; and (v) size, weight, noise, vibration and harshness comparable to similar passenger vehicles on the market. Power trains produced in the scope of this project must demonstrate advantages over electric hybrids to be competitive.
Test Bed Role in Support of Strategic Plan
Test Bed 3 (TB3) directly supports goal 2: improving the efficiency of transportation. Efficiency is achieved by utilizing hydraulic assist to enable operating the engine at or near its "sweet spot" and regenerating brake energy. The power trains integrate high efficiency components, hydraulic fluids and energy management algorithms (thrust 1), compact energy storage (thrust 2) and methodologies for achieving quiet operation (thrust 3) from related CCEFP projects.
Description and Explanation of Research Approach
The high power density of hydraulics makes them an attractive technology for hybrid vehicles, since both fuel economy and high performance may be achievable. Hydraulic hybrids provide an intriguing alternative to electric hybrids because the large battery required for electric hybrids can be eliminated. A few hydraulic hybrid vehicles have been developed for heavy, frequent stop-and-go applications such as garbage or delivery trucks. However, hydraulic hybrids have not yet reached the much larger passenger vehicle market. In order to succeed in this market, hydraulic hybrid drive trains must overcome limitations in component efficiency, energy storage density, and noise. These barriers represent worthwhile challenges that stretch the envelopes of existing fluid power technologies.
TB3 focuses on power split architectures, which combine the positive aspects of the series and parallel drive train. They are not as well studied as the simpler architectures. Two hydraulic hybrid passenger vehicles are being developed in the scope of this test bed, each of which offers unique research benefits. The "Generation 1" vehicle (Figure 1) was built in-house using the platform of a utility vehicle (a Polaris "Ranger") connected to an in-house built hydrostatic dynamometer. The vehicle has been outfitted with a modular power train. This enables experimenting with different pump, motor and energy storage technologies, including those developed in complementary CCEFP projects.
The "Generation 2" vehicle is being developed in partnership with Folsom Technologies International (FTI). It is built on the platform of a Ford F-150 pickup truck, which has refined vehicle dynamics capable of highway speeds. Its power train utilizes a prototype continuously variable power split hydraulic transmission developed by FTI. Adding hydraulic accumulators to the CVT enables hybrid operation. The power train is built as a compact, integrated, self-contained package. However, the integrated package prevents changing out the hydraulic pump/motors or instrumenting them individually. Development for the last two years has focused on the Generation 1 vehicle, although development of the Generation 2 vehicle has continued as resources permit. The Generation 2 vehicle is housed at the Folsom facility in Albany, NY.

Pakistan: Return of "lost" boys highlights the plight of street children

|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
KARACHI, 22 September 2008 (IRIN) - Asif, 16, was among 53 "lost" boys, aged between eight and 16, who boarded the bus on the morning of 16 August to return to his parents' house.
The bus and its four-day journey from the port city of Karachi to Lahore, the capital of the Punjab, were organised by social worker Abdul Sattar Edhi of the Edhi Foundation. The purpose was to reunite children who were lost or had run away with their parents.
Edhi, 85, accompanied the children. Asif, originally from Kamoke, a small town in Punjab, was among the 20 left who had yet to be united with their parents.
Before his parents were located, Asif, along with Mohammad Ali, 15, and Naushad, 12, stayed at an Edhi shelter in Lahore. "We started off on a high note but as the count got smaller, it became kind of lonely," said Asif.
Asif remembers he had four siblings and cannot wait to go home. "I think I will be able to recognise them once I see them," he says. But he was just nine when he got lost, in a market, and eventually found himself in Karachi.
"The kids had a very nice time. My reward was to hand them over to the parents," said Edhi. "Locating the homes was difficult as the kids were young when they got lost and many could not remember their villages."
Numbers rising
Social workers say Pakistan has a large population of runaway or lost kids, estimating their number at more than 70,000. Navaid Hasan Khan of Azad Foundation, an organisation working with street children, estimates there are between 13,000 and 15,000 in Karachi alone and the number is increasing. The UN Children's Fund, UNICEF, estimates there are 10,000 in Karachi.
Many street children are at risk of physical and sexual abuse, child rights activists say, adding that tuberculosis (TB) and skin diseases are common. They usually live in gangs of 10 or more and sleep in filthy sewage pipes, open parks or bus stations.
Edhi's idea to arrange a bus journey for the street children to reunite them with their families received a lot of media attention. "It helped parents identify their children. Scores of parents would be awaiting our arrival to see if the bus had brought back their lost son. It saved us placing advertisements for these lost children," said Edhi.
However, after meeting the parents, Edhi concluded that all the lost children he had been looking after for four to five years belonged to very poor households comprising large families.
Many of the parents who took back the children "were ecstatic to see them, but they told us they will send them back to us as it means one less mouth to feed", he said.
"They said they know that at least with us they will get three square meals, clean clothes, a clean place to stay and the luxury of education they can ill afford," said Edhi.
Social workers cited many reasons for the children leaving home, including violence, disharmony among parents, financial worries, children put to work or not doing well in school. But, poverty was the underlying factor - placing thousands of children in jeopardy on the streets each year.
Some children did not want to go back to the parents permanently. "I want to stay in Lahore and study here," said Ali. He ran away from home at 11 and dreams of becoming an army officer. He believes if he goes to his parents, he will not get the opportunity to study.
"I worked as a domestic servant in a bungalow but my employers would beat me on the slightest pretext," he said. His father is a carpenter and he has eight siblings, of whom he is the second-eldest.
Naushad, from Sadiqabad in Punjab, said he wanted to meet his mother and nine siblings, adding: "I want to come back to Lahore and continue my studies here as there is no school in the village I belong to."

San Francisco Bay Fund Inventory of Projects
Suisun Creek: Fish Survey and Water Temperature Monitoring
Organization: California Land Stewardship Institute
2008 Grant Recipient – Napa / Solano Counties
As part of the Suisun Creek Watershed Enhancement Plan water temperature monitoring in Suisun Creek has been carried out since 2002. In 2006 an experiment was completed where the City of Vallejo released certain levels of water from their reservoir, Lake Curry, into Suisun Creek for a week or more at a time and a series of monitoring stations on Suisun Creek recorded continuous water temperatures. The experiment found that three miles downstream from the dam, the stream had warm temperatures over 70° F. These results raised the question of whether the dam releases created habitat for warm water fish such as pike minnow which prey on juvenile steelhead trout.
This grant funded a summer/fall survey of fish in Suisun Creek and monitoring of water temperatures. The document linked below summarizes the results. Juvenile steelhead trout were found in a number of locations in the creek and so were large pike minnow. Additional survey work is needed as part of determining the best operational schedule for releases from Lake Curry.

My best friend has always been so fashion forward. Like, wears a trend before it's a trend, and I think hmmm...I don't know about that, but it still looks good on her. Then a year later, I find myself buying/wanting the same things I was questioning. The thing is...she can always pull off different stuff. I, on the other hand...well, I mostly look like a huge dork.
Several months ago she got some blue glasses, and of course they looked amazing on her. When I saw them, I thought to myself that maybe one day I'd be cool enough to pull them off. And it looks like that day has come. Maybe.

When a scholar's library outlives its owner, a reverent bibliophile knows just what to do.
By Andrew D. Scrimgeour
I have been here many times before. Not to this particular library but to others like it. Some have been on college campuses, others in private homes. Some have sprawled through many rooms. Others were confined to a single space. One had no windows. Another overlooked a lake. Most were crowded. All were dusty.
Each was the domain of a scholar. Each was the accumulation of a lifetime of intellectual achievement. And each of their owners had died. By declaration of their wills or the discernment of their families, I had been called to consider the bereft books for my university library.
One of the little-known roles of the academic librarian is bereavement counseling: helping families dispose of books when the deceased have not specified a plan for them. On this day I'm standing in the doorway of a distinguished but forlorn library in South Bend, Ind., ready to perform last rites on the extensive collection of James White, a professor emeritus of theology and specialist in the liturgies and worship practices of the Christian tradition at the University of Notre Dame. I always pause before entering these libraries. Even after the family has shown me to the space, I can't just barge in. I need to be introduced to the books. I need to become acquainted.
Surveying these rooms, I find myself wishing I had a ritual to invoke, for the study I'm about to disrupt is a private, beloved retreat—an inner sanctum for reading, reflection and writing. And since it is here that someone wrestled with ideas, sought integrity of expression and gave expression to fresh-jacketed voices, the book-studded room seems sacred. Is there a prayer I can offer? Sometimes I think I should take off my shoes—a physical act to show my respect.
What first catches my eye on this day is the calendar on Professor White's desk—a small scenic calendar from Vermont Life. Two volumes of Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion hold pride of place in the middle of the desk—one open and face down, undoubtedly the last book that White was reading. Bach's chorale preludes are in the CD player, and my first act is to fill the library with the music White loved and often played on the spinet piano in the adjacent room. Before disturbing anything, I photograph the room from several angles, ensuring that his desk and books are captured for the archival record.
These libraries have ranged widely on the tidiness scale. A few look ready for a Better Homes and Gardens photo shoot. One was fully cataloged, each volume standing tall in its proper Dewey location, spine perfectly aligned to the edge of the shelf, a regiment ready for inspection. Another was a health hazard—hundreds of books piled on the floor, knee-high canyons to navigate like Gulliver on Lilliput Island.
The placement of individual books and the adjacencies of groups intrigue me. Are they subject categories? Chronological gatherings? A map of intellectual terrain? Or just evidence of the constraints of shelf space? Which books are closest to the desk? Which are consigned to the closet? Books sequestered in the shadows suggest clandestine reading and hidden pleasures.
Sometimes I find books hidden away for a coming event—a birthday, graduation or anniversary—a greeting card, yet unsigned, often their companion.
Did the professor write in the books, dog-ear the pages, underline passages in red? Inscriptions on the title pages reveal personal and professional friendships. Occasionally, something unusual tumbles from the pages—Civil War–era currency or a note from a famous person. I'm particularly fascinated by the well-worn volumes—the indispensable reference works or canonical texts in one's field.
I prefer to inventory the books by myself. It is a way not only to get to know the library but to commune with the former dweller of the room. Sometimes the utmost diplomacy is required to persuade family members that I don't need assistance as I sort, box and make notes in solitude.
I place the books in boxes one volume at a time, noting each title, silently calling each by name—a bibliographic benediction for a job well done in this place for this scholar. At times I feel camaraderie with bishops who lay hands on confirmands and unhurriedly bless them by name, one at a time, regardless of how long the line stretches down the center aisle.
What has taken years to create I dismantle in a matter of hours or days, reducing walls of colorful volumes to a cube of brown cartons resting on a pallet. The room becomes stark, the bookcases empty, the sweet autumn musty scent of the older books gone.
For the moment, the collections to which I am called still consist of paper, ink, glue, covers and jackets. I find solace in knowing that these orphaned books—White's collection in Indiana and many others across the country—have become the companions of a new generation of students and scholars.
A longer version of this essay by Dean of Libraries Andrew D. Scrimgeour appeared in the Dec. 28, 2012, issue of The New York Times Book Review.

Variety reports that Adrien Brody, Forest Whitaker, Elijah Wood, and Twilight actor Cam Gigandet have all agreed to star in an English-language remake of Das Experiment, the 2001 German thriller directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel and starring Moritz Bleibtreu (Run Lola Run).
Like the original, this new movie – simply titled The Experiment – will tell the story of a group of individuals selected to participate in a psychological study. They are put into a mock prison in which half of the participants are prisoners, the other half guards. As the experiment progresses, the participants fall deeper into their roles, resulting in abusive treatment.
Prison Break writer Paul Scheuring is directing the movie from his own script, which was based on the novel by Mario Giordano (who also wrote the screenplay of the 2001 movie). Inferno Entertainment and Magnet Media Group are financing the movie, which does not yet have a specific release date.
The story idea for The Experiment is based in part on the 1971 Stanford Prison Project, which involved undergraduates at Stanford participating in a similar study in the basement of the university's psychology building. The study was planned for two weeks but had to be abandoned after six days. You can read more about it on the study's official site.

According to a representative of Middle East watch in New York, only a small number of Iranians have been naturalized in Qatar (25 June 1993). The representative added that only highly skilled Iranian professionals who have resided in Qatar for a long period have any chance of being naturalized (Ibid.). They would have to be referred by the Ministry of the Interior to the Emir of Qatar, who can use extensive discretionary powers in the matter (Ibid.).

Congressman Jim Davis spoke at Florida State University in Tallahassee where he and Virginia Sen. John Warner emphasized education.
Davis is in favor of a $4,000-a-year pay raise for teachers. He also pledges to stop using the FCAT exam to grade schools and students. He says it should be used as a diagnostic tool to help kids instead of using it to fail them.
"Once you've identified a child is struggling, what is the problem and how do you fix it? If all you do it test, you're not accomplishing anything," Davis said. "And as a parent, if one of my boys is struggling, if any child is struggling, we owe it to them to find out what the problem is and fix it."
Republican candidate Charlie Crist takes the opposite approach. He wants to continue using the FCAT to grade schools and students and promises to continue using Jeb Bush's education model.
