The three other members of Scott's Economic Advisory Council are: Talmadge Heflin, who served 22 years as a Republican Texas state representative. He was chief architect of an effort to bridge a nearly $10 billion budget shortfall without raising taxes but resulted in deep cuts to health and social services programs. Heflin is director of an Austin-based think tank, the Texas Public Policy Foundation, which advocates limited government Randall Holcombe, an economics professor at Florida State University who served on Bush's council of economic advisers.

Robert McClure, president and CEO of the James Madison Institute, a conservative think tank that has been critical of teachers unions, activist judges and higher taxes.

SCOTT Continued from Page IB throughout the budget process as he begins to turn policy into action," according to a release from Scott's press office. Heading the team will be Arduin, who as budget chief to former Gov Jeb Bush and then to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger earned a reputation as a proponent of deep cuts to social programs and privatizing government services.

She has also worked for governors in Michigan and New York and is known to promote performance-based budgeting, forcing agencies to reach specific goals in order to receive funding. Also among Scott's economic lineup is Tad DeHa-ven, of the Cato Institute, who has written works condemning runaway federal spending. The announcement brought sharp criticism from Bruce Nissen, director of research at the Center tures that will benefit the state and make it attractive to businesses. "What I'm going to advise Rick Scott on is to take his portfolio of assets in the state and to use that portfolio to create the most prosperity for Floridians." Incoming Florida Senate Majority Leader Andy Gardiner, R-Orlando, said party leaders were "generally pretty impressed" with Scott's lineup. "They're individuals that can make a decision, and a timely one, and I think that will work very well," Gardiner said.

But Sen. Nan Rich, D-Weston, said the group holds economic ideologies that haven't panned out in the past "It's deja vu all over again," Rich said. "This is kind of a renewed push for the trickle-down economic policies they believe that if you cut taxes to the wealthy and corporations that it trickles down to the middle class and poorer folks in our society We've not seen that work." for Labor Research and Studies at Florida International University "Laffer's theory basically doesn't hold water and Donna Arduin is one of his disciples," Nissen said. "When you complement that with extreme libertarian thinking of individuals from the Cato Institute and the rest, you get some extremely unorthodox and unusual economic policies." The impact, Nissen said, will be felt by anyone who relies on social services and public education: "Anybody who's on the lower 60 to 70 percent of the economic spectrum, they'll be the economic losers." In a telephone interview Monday evening, Laffer said Nissen's criticism is misplaced because Reagan-omics was based upon income tax and, "economic growth under Reagan, everyone knows, was extraordinary." Laffer said his suggestions to Scott will all turn on figuring out tax, regulatory and spending struc Berger Berger, Shirley, 81, of Pembroke Pines, FL, passed away on November 13, 2010.

A 2008 study found that 15.8 million Americans say they practice yoga. YOGA Continued from Page IB tice. Debbie Wolff, owner of Fusion Fitness and Yoga in Coral Springs, which opened a year ago, said she has been closely monitoring her competitors. "I never saw this coming," she said. "It's surprising in this economy I'd love to see us all last and sustain." Even during the recession, yoga appears to be a commodity Americans decline to give up.

Surveys show a growing market for new yoga products, including equipment, vacations, clothing and DVDs. It's the same for new studios, said Kate Saal, a yoga business consultant in California. "It's like a great new restaurant," she said. "You would never say there are too many great restaurants in your neighborhood. You know what you stand for and you differentiate yourself." A 2008 study by Yoga Journal found that 15.8 million Americans, or about 7 percent of the population, say they practice yoga.

Another 8 percent said they are interested in trying yoga, triple the number from a previous study. These non-practitioners create a potential market that South Florida studios seek to tap by developing targeted niches. BreatheBoca in Boca Raton, which opened last month, focuses on people who like a cycling class followed by yoga, while Crystal Yoga Shala in Boca Raton emphasizes its small class sizes and slow pace. "We don't appeal to those who want a gym-type workout," said owner Patsy Finger, 56. "We can't compete Firpi, Jose 78, of Miramar passed away on November 13, 2010.

Finger downsized to an 880-square-foot studio in Boca Raton in April from a studio west of Boca Raton. She said student fees of about $17 per class now pay the rent and she no longer needs to offer extras such as massages or colonics to make extra money Margit Hamilton, owner of Bombay Room Yoga in Fort Lauderdale, which opened Nov. 1, said she has found the weak economy has a complicated effect Students who have practiced for a while won't give it up because it helps them relax in a stressful time, while new students are hesitant to make the expenditure when they are unsure what they will get in return.

"That's why it's important to offer it cheap or free if they haven't tried it be- Jones Jones, Gus, of Fort Lauderdale, FL, passed away on November 15, 2010. Roy Mizell Kurtz Funeral Home, Ft.

She recently lost her job as a secretary, but Abrams said she decided continuing her yoga practice was a reasonable use of her limited finances. The quantity of competitors has forced some studios to rethink their business plans. American Yoga in Deerfield Beach, which opened a year ago, will reduce the number of classes offered each week and focus instead on teacher training and marketing to people who have never tried yoga before. "I am trying to figure out the recipe for success," owner Monica Schmidt said. "All the studios are competing for the same niche of people who already do yoga.

The reality is a whole lot of people are not doing yoga." Owners of older yoga centers say they have watched the contenders emerge and are holding on by retaining their loyal students. Dotty Zevin's 43-year-old studio, the Yoga Center of Deerfield Beach, is right in the middle of the boom. "I've seen a lot of studios come and go," said Zevin, whose center emphasizes traditional yoga, meditation and healing. "I'm happy so many people are doing yoga. But will everybody make it? No." Lois Solomon can be reached at Isobmon SunSenttnel.com or 561-243-6536.
