New Nails: NARS Galion
I think I have found that new "signature" color.
I am a sucker for dark nails, however, I'm not a fan of wearing totally black nails. This new NARS shade is perfect. It's a dark blue-gray, and it is lovely. When I was at the nail salon, my manicurist kept commenting on how gorgeous the color was. Then, not one, but two women in the salon checked it out as they passed and asked what it was.
It's just lovely. I think I said that already. But it is. Lovely. :)
It's a shame that I couldn't get any photos to do it justice. It's appears a little lighter than this.

My favorite is "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night" by Catrice. It is a black with lots of tiny sparkles in it. It is awesome even though it is just €2,49.ReplyDelete
I am not sure if you can get it in the US though. Catrice is a European brand, I guess.
Nice! Looks like Near Dark from the China Glaze Halloween LE.ReplyDelete
But the CG is more on the green side. .
Gahh i wanted got time to use mine yet!ReplyDelete
I'm in clinical right now and we can't wear any type of nail polish, nor have long nails. =( That Nars nail polish is gorgeous... I'm so sad! lolReplyDelete
Super nice color.ReplyDelete

Love that! I've been obsessed with Chanel Graphite. Still trying to decide if I should get a backup or not! :pReplyDelete
AHHHH that is like the nicest black polish I have EVER seen I need!.ReplyDelete
muy lindo el color =0)ReplyDelete
I have too much polish not to wear a different color everyday! That's why I started a blog!ReplyDelete
This is a lovely color, I'm totally into dark colors this fall.
Recently I have been LOVING the color Aruba Blue by Essie- it's amazing and sooo pretty!!ReplyDelete
That polish is so pretty! I'm loving butter london polishes. Queen Vic is one of my favorites for fall.ReplyDelete
Ooo looks like it could be similar to L'Oreal Mystery, I love that hint of deep teal going on with Galion. At the moment I'm LOVING AEngland's Tristam!ReplyDelete
This is from last season, but I still love Essie's Smokin Hot.ReplyDelete
Ah so pretty! I am all about the dark nail polishes right now and this one looks amazing. I currently have on OPI's my private jet =)ReplyDelete
This is lovely! but $17 is out of my range+_+if not on sale. ha haReplyDelete
I'm currently in love with nude shade polishes, I love love love Rimmel's Bare Naked (-> this one: http://cottoncandyc.blogspot.com/2011/10/nail-of-day-rimmel-lasting-finish-pro.html ) ^_^
LOVED it!ReplyDelete
This is gorgeous. I'm loving power clutch by essie. It's like a beautiful dark grey-teal.. perfect for fall :)ReplyDelete
Butter London All Hail the Queen - similar to Yummy Mummy but with sparkles!ReplyDelete
YOu are so amazingReplyDelete
I've been spying the new OPI muppets collection. I'm really into glittery polishes at the moment that have multisized glitter pieces in them. The red 'Miss Piggy' one looks to-die-for!ReplyDelete
That is such a pretty nail color!ReplyDelete
Zoya in KellyReplyDelete
I've been wearing Zoya's Juicy for weeks now. It's such a great berry color, perfect for fall. At first I hated it because I thought it was too bright and pink, but a few coats makes it deep but still lively. :)ReplyDelete
Love it!! I'm slowly transitioning toward dark nail polishes, but I can't seem to separate myself from my nude lacquers :/ I will have to purchase this varnish now in hopes of breaking my streak :DReplyDelete
My favorite nail polish right now is Midnight Cami by Essie. It's a dark blue with blue sparkles. It especially looks awesome in the sunlight!!! :)ReplyDelete

Okay, so like everything else that Tiffany raves about, I ran out to my nearest Sephora and purchased the NARS Galion. When I got home and took the polish out of the box I quickly realized that I already had a very similar color, AND, not only did I have a like color, but it was in the EXACT same packaging. Matter of fact, if I were to place a piece of tape over the brand name, I would never be able to tell the difference between the two! So, if you were not able to justify that $17 price tag of the NARS Galion, you can now get the dupe for less than half the price. The color I have is made by ULTA and it is in their professional laquer line. The color is called Total Eclipse. Go to Google and type ULTA Total Eclipse and then hit the images tab so you can see pictures of the color yourself. I always love a good dupe!!ReplyDelete
You should check out Essie's Bobbing for Baubles. It's from the new winter collection, Cocktail Bling. It's a lovely dark navy, almost black color.ReplyDelete
I also love Revlon'sReplyDelete
Facets of Fuchsia glitter nail polish...soo sooo pretty ^_^
Oh, OPI's (It's 'coal' outside) is really pretty black with silver shimmer. It reminds me of the kardashians. The silver shimmer isn't heavy, the color still turns out black but with silver shimmer reflects. SUPER PRETTY FOR FALL!ReplyDelete
My current favorite is Zoya Jana. Lovely.ReplyDelete

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Gov. Brian Sandoval and other officials are unveiling a new state brand that will be used to promote Nevada and everything from tourism to economic development, job training and education.
"Nevada: A world within. A state apart," was announced during a press conference Tuesday at the state Capitol.
The effort began as a marketing campaign for the Nevada Commission on Tourism. But it took on an added dimension when Sandoval said he wanted to incorporate it with other aspects and functions of government.
The television ad campaign kicks off April 15 in Nevada's core tourism markets - Los Angeles, San Francisco and Phoenix.
It features a contemporary version of an old western classic, "Don't Fence Me In," sung by the Las Vegas rock band, The Killers.

Temperatures will be near 60 early Thursday afternoon, before falling into the 30's by the early evening hours. Winds will then be the big story as low pressure passes by to our north. Winds could gust to 40mph through the night, with blustery conditions lingering through Black Friday.
This weather system could also drop some snow on parts of Northwest Wisconsin Thursday night into Friday, with some places north of state highway 8 possibly picking up an inch or two of accumulation. Here in the Eau Claire area, I'm expecting just scattered snow showers with little accumulation.

Voter confusion at the polls is raising questions about what races will be decided in this primary election. Whether you're a registered Republican, Democrat or Independent, all of the ballots will have some of the same elections.
All voters are able to decide on the Clerk of the Court race because both candidates are in the same party. Also, those running for the School Board will also be on all the ballots because they are unaffiliated with a party.
Mark Andersen, the Supervisor of Elections, says each voter should go over your sample ballot before heading to the polls.
"If you're not two of the major parties, you fall in a different category, such as judges, School Board members, and now if you only have representation in one party, they fall under that same umbrella so that they're on every single person's ballot. So it's not just one party making the decisions, it's all the voters in Bay County."
If you have not already applied and received an absentee ballot, you are too late. You can vote at the supervisor's office this week or at your precinct next Tuesday.

New Campaign Aims to End Bullying With Hunky Carwash
Hunky, Speedo-wearing dudes in Palm Springs, Calif., participated in the "Studs and Suds" charity carwash last week, which raised money for a local anti-bullying foundation called "Boo 2 Bullying," KMIR, Palm Spring's NBC-affiliated station reports.
A group of buff men, stripped down to their skimpy bathing suits to raise money and awareness that bullying can impact everyone, including members of the LGBT community.
"Many gay men and even non-gay men have been victims of bullying," Palm Springs resident Sandy Edelstein told KMIR. "I was bullied for many years and it definitely left its mark on me and thankfully it's true, things do get better."
Edelstein said he drove through the carwash "to wash all the old cars he says are dusty from sitting at his house all summer long," KMIR writes.
"For as comfortable as I am with myself, there are a lot of young people out there who aren't, so awareness is everything," Palm Springs resident Scott King adds.
Dimitri Halkidis, the president and founder of the "Boo 2 Bullying" campaign, says bullying can affect straight people too.
"I don't think it matters what sexuality you are. Bullying is bullying whether you're white, yellow, green, black, straight, LGBT-- it just does not matter," Halkidis told the local news station. Sam Phillips, the media director for the "Boo 2 Bullying" campaign agreed with Halkidis and said bullying "happens at home, it happens at school, it happens on the streets, it happens in the workplace - bullying happens everywhere."
"So if you're different, if you're unique and you stand out, chances are you'll be a target for somebody that doesn't like that," Phillips said.
Halkidis told KMIR that the point of "Studs and Suds" was to end bullying while celebrating people's differences, saying, "If we can save one kid, we're doing our job."
Edelstein said the carwash was for a good cause and having some hot hunks wash cars is a bonus.
"The guys are really nice," he said. "They're really nice to look at so come out and make them work harder and sweat more," says King. "It was definitely an appeal. We thought, what fun. Have some nice eye candy and get the cars washed all at the same time."

Los Alamos' mission is to solve national security challenges through scientific excellence.
- Operator
- Los Alamos National Laboratory
- (505) 667-5061
Robust solutions to most urgent and technically challenging national security issues
The Global Threats' program at Los Alamos enhances our nation's security by developing and applying the Laboratory's technical capabilities to an array of threats that have emerged since the end of the Cold War.
These threats include
- weakened control over nuclear materials and expertise from the former Soviet Union
- proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), the more lethal aims of today's terrorists
- emergence of "rogue states" threatening U.S. interests, regional stability
Global Security Staff
Global Security draws on a staff with remarkable breadth and depth of scientific capability, professionals who have made their marks in nuclear engineering, astrophysics, statistics, computer modeling, risk assessment, detector development, and many more areas.
Program areas:
- Emerging threats
- Intelligence, defense, and counterterrorism
- Nuclear nonproliferation and security
- Threat identification and response
Recent Achievements & Research Breakthroughs
Improved Detection of Hazards
One of the gravest threats the United States and its allies face is the acquisition of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction by terrorists or rogue nations.
LANL provides technologies and expertise that systematically strengthen the capability to detect and interdict illicit trafficking of nuclear and other radioactive materials across international borders. Deployment of radiation detection instrumentation at border crossings, rail crossings, airports, and post offices is part of this effort.
Aboard Mars Mission
Three LANL technologies are aboard the Mars Science Laboratory mission's Curiosity rover.
Los Alamos radioisotope batteries are providing power and heat to Curiosity and are driving the vehicle's 10 scientific instruments. One technology, known as ChemCam, is mounted on the rover's mast and will use extremely powerful pulses of light to vaporize pinhead-sized areas of the martian surface to provide scientists with crucial information about the composition of Mars surface materials.
Another LANL technology, CheMin, is designed to use x-ray diffraction to determine the composition of samples that are collected and dropped into a funnel on the rover.
Treaty Verification
LANL provides continuous treaty verification support, including support for the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
Reducing Proliferation Threats with IAEA
LANL's expertise in nuclear materials technologies has played a significant role in mitigating proliferation in multiple areas. The expertise spans more than 40 years of direct support to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), including the development of nearly every nuclear materials assay technology, training for every IAEA inspector, and more than 50 ongoing safeguards technology development projects.
Converting Weapons-Grade Plutonium for Use in Nuclear Power
LANL continues to employ Advanced Recovery and Integrated Extraction System (ARIES) technologies to convert weapons-grade plutonium to blended mixed oxides for use in commercial nuclear power reactors.
Defeating Threats to the Navy
LANL successfully tested a new high-current electron injector, a device that can be scaled up to produce the electrons needed to build a high-power-free-electron laser prototype for the U.S. Office of Naval Research. Operating at the speed of light, the free-electron laser will protect the U.S. Navy's fleet of the future by defeating multiple incoming missiles in different maritime environments with a high-power beam of wavelength-tunable light.
Minimizing Global Radiological Hazards
The Air Force Technical Applications Center acknowledged a LANL technical team for its outstanding technical analysis of radiological samples and consequence management support following the earthquake- and tsunami-induced damage to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The results were critical in helping the United States and Japan determine options for minimizing the impact of radiological hazards on the global population and environment.

Grammy-winning guitarist Albert Lee supports his latest release, Live at the Iridium, with this clip for "Country Boy," an excerpt from the CD/DVD package. The British-born fingerstyle player – known to many as "Mr. Telecaster" – renders a scorching presentation of his song, which helped redefine country guitar when it first became a chart-topping hit for Ricky Skaggs in 1985.
"I am very happy to have a video recording of one of my performances at the Iridium Club," Lee tells Rolling Stone. "It's always such a pleasure to be asked to play at such an historic venue, and I hope there will be many more. Along with most of the guitar playing world, I was also a huge fan of the music of Les Paul, so it always gives me a thrill to be on what will always be his stage."
"It is incredible to have one of the world's great guitarists documented at Iridium, the House That Les Paul Built," Iridium President Ron Sturm adds. "Great guitarists like Albert Lee and Les Paul are in our DNA."
The new release includes performances of Lee originals and covers of numbers by Gram Parsons, Carl Perkins, Delbert McClinton and Ray Charles. Lee will return to the historic club next month (February 3rd-5th) for three consecutive nights, where he will be joined by a special guest, the folk legend Ramblin' Jack Elliott. Tickets are available through the Iridium's official website. The first night's performance will be webcast live here.

Exploring One of Paris' Most Exceptional Attractions: Cinemas

It may seem backward to travel to one of the most beautiful cities in the world and sit in the dark.
In Paris, there are seemingly endless rues and quays and museums and cafes to explore, which means visitors often hurry past one of the city's greatest attractions: its cinemas.
They're found throughout the French capital and in particular the Latin Quarter. No city in the world boasts such a bevy of independent theaters, where vibrant repertory series and exciting selections play nightly.
New York might quibble, but most of its independent theaters long ago shuttered. Manhattanites can proudly claim the essential Film Forum, but Parisians can stand on the Left Bank and have nearly a dozen similar options within a five-minute walk.
Spending an entire trip among flickering projections would, of course, be extreme. But it does occasionally rain in Paris and sometimes a cool night at the movies is just the ticket after a day of traipsing around the attractions. And, unlike many destinations in Paris, no one or perhaps everyone is a tourist at the movies.
Your first move is to pick up your moviegoing Bible: the weekly Pariscope, which can be had for less than a euro at any newsstand. In it, you'll find a detailed listing of every showing that week. It's in French, but addresses, movie titles and show times are easily understood.
A key point: V.O. signifies version original (with French subtitles), whereas V.F. means version francais (dubbed in French). Now, if your French is poor, you are limited to movies in English, but this is only a slight impediment. Great, old American movies are plentiful and the odds are good that at any moment, a flick with Humphrey Bogart or Woody Allen is showing somewhere is Paris. As with jazz, the French are ardent celebrators of American filmmaking.
This is, after all, a birthplace of cinema. Here, it is the seventh art. So some history is in order, which means a trip to the Cinematheque Francaise.
Any film buff is well aware of the Cinematheque's significance: Formed from Henri Langlois collection in the '30s, its archives and constant screenings have long served as a kind of home base for Paris' film scene. Many of the famed directors of the New Wave, like Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, gathered here, though you can't imbibe this history from its original location. It moved in 2005 to a beautiful, curvaceous building designed by architect Frank Gehry on Parc de Bercy in the 12th arrondissement.
Aside from several fine, modern theaters at the Cinematheque, you can also find the Musee du Cinema, which includes some truly magical artifacts from the history of cinema: Louis Lumiere's 35mm projector, Thomas Edison's kinetoscope, Robert Wiene's expressionist sketches for "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," a copy of the robot Maria from "Metropolis" made for the museum, and much more.
There are also rotating exhibits at the museum, and the collections film excerpts, stills and props will surely whet your movie appetite.
Turning to your Pariscope newspaper, the advice is simple: Follow the movies. See what's playing and go after what intrigues you.
I, for one, generally seek out the great films of the '40s and '50s, some of which found artistic renown through the French. The famed French film magazine Cahiers du Cinema, co-founded by Andre Bazin, was essential to trumpeting the artistry of American genre filmmakers like Howard Hawks and Nicholas Ray.
This is one reason Paris may be the best place to see a film noir, in all its black-and-white, moody, fatalistic grandeur. The films might feature fast-talking detectives in Los Angeles, but a film noir feels most at home in Paris.
The selection on any given week in Paris is usually exceptional. A recent week, for example, boasted an Alfred Hitchcock series, a new print of the Clark Gable-Marilyn Monroe film "The Misfits" (1961), an Al Pacino series, Charles Laughton's "The Night of the Hunter" (1955), the fabulous but lesser known noir "Fallen Angel" (1945), Bogart's "The Enforcer" (1951), Robert Mitchum in 1947's "Crossfire," Sydney Lumet's "The Offense" (1972), the new, touring print of Michael Powell's "The Red Shoes" (1948) and much more.
You'll quickly notice some differences to the Parisian moviegoing style. Show times are often listed for when the ads and trailers start and for when the film actually begins. Popcorn is not something generally eaten at the art house cinemas: Moviegoing is serious business.
Certain theaters are worth seeking out. Le Champo, on the rue des Ecoles, is perhaps the quintessential Parisian art house cinema. First opened in 1938, its survival has at times depended on the support of protesters refusing to allow closure.
If you don't like the selections there, you can always try one of the other fine theaters around the block on rue Champollion. Many of Paris' independent theaters are only a stone's throw from here, including the nicely programmed Action Ecoles. After a movie at the Champo, walk up the hill for a drink outside at one of the cafes on the pleasant, restful Place de la Sorbonne.
One of the oldest cinemas in Paris is the Studio des Ursulines, near the Jardin du Luxembourg on the rue des Ursulines. It was built on the site of a Ursuline convent from the 1600s, and made into a silent film art house in 1926. It now shows first-run movies, but its plush red interior is hard to beat.
On the Right Bank, Cinema Mac-Mahon will always be dear to me, since it was where I first saw "Taxi Driver" on the big screen. It sits in the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe, just off the Place Charles de Gaulle.
Studio 28, opened in 1938, is a lovely Montmartre theater and a good destination for "Amelie" fans. This is the place the beloved film's heroine frequented, (and she did chomp on popcorn). If you can, time your visit to coincide with sunset, and from the top of Montmartre watch the lights turn on across Paris as the city dims.
There are other unique theaters, too, like the Pagoda on the rue de Babylone in the 7th arrondissement. True to its name, it's styled after a Japanese temple. If you want a more modern view of Parisian moviegoing, try one of the MK2 theaters. The MK2 Bibliotheque at the Francois Mitterand National Library on the Quai de Seine, has 14 theaters and a futuristic vibe.
The Grand Rex is a movie palace built in 1932 and its main auditorium can seat nearly 3,000. The biggest theater in Paris, it's a common spot for flashy premieres, so the selection is typically first-run films. Its exquisite Art Deco design gives it a fantastical aura, like a grand, fairy-tale cinema.
All of these theaters beam out wondrous films every night. As you exit to the street rubbing your eyes, you might think that the best part of all about moviegoing in Paris is that the city awaiting you outside is hardly less of a dream than the movies.

Hello all!
This is my newest game.
The idea of the game is same as in Gonzo Heads (does anyone know that?).
Use left mouse button to destroy heads by their color and right for their face.
For exmaple:
Clicking blue head with left mouse
button will destroy it and all blue heads that collide with it.
Clicking smiling head with right mouse button will destroy it and all the smiling heads that
collide with it.
Pretty simple, huh?
There is three types of special blocks, which will destroy more basic blocks at the time!
And also sound effects and a music which will drive you mad!
Everything made by me.
Enjoy & give some feedback, please!

You can learn a lot of things about a game through its demo: whether it controls well, how the visual style works, if the voice acting is grating. Or, if you're enterprising enough, you can learn all of its secrets, as in the case of the recently released Dead or Alive 5 demo.
A user on NeoGAF (via Joystiq) listed all of the characters found in the executable file. It appears to add the entire DoA4 crew (sans Ein), new characters Mila and Rig, along with Sarah Bryant and Pai Chan from the Virtua Fighter series. They would be joining VF's Akira, who had been previously confirmed.
This hasn't been confirmed by Tecmo, and anything is subject to change before the game releases. Still, it wouldn't be the first time a fighter roster was leaked by peeking into the demo's files, and none of the additions seem too outrageous given what we already know about Virtua Fighter cameos.

series: Century In The Sun: Henry Flagler & The Making Of
air date: 7/21/13 8:00 PM
A CENTURY IN THE SUN is the story of Florida's dramatic transformation from America's last frontier into the fourth largest state in the U.S. The film chronicles how Standard Oil magnate Henry Flagler arrived in Florida in the late 1800s, built a railroad and hotel empire on the last American frontier, and launched a population boom that lasted a hundred years. The film traces Flagler's impact on Florida through the 20th century, as it becomes the fastest-growing state in the U.S., exploring the consequences -- both intended and unintended -- of Flagler's stunning success in launching the boom that drove Florida's economy, until it was stopped in its tracks by the Great Recession.

The national chart of Switzerland
In the horoscope for Switzerland, Pluto, as it moves through Capricorn, forms benign and supportive aspects to the national Sun, reflecting a renewed sense of strength and a greater feeling of national confidence and self-sufficiency. This period, following a time of many crises and conflicts involving national identity, is likely to be a highly productive one, generating a collective feeling that it is possible to be both independent and involved, both self-sufficient and able to form open and useful relationships with other nations and cultures.
During much of this time, Neptune will also be strongly affecting the national chart, moving across the national Moon in Pisces and opposing the national Sun. This reflects a greater openness to the imaginal realm, perhaps coinciding with a time of greater creative and artistic contribution and an increased trust in life and in the eventual progress and greater enlightenment of the global community.
Although some cherished areas of autonomy and structure from the past may have to be relinquished in order for this new openness and involvement to find its best expression, this time is likely to be felt as a peaceful and highly productive one, rather than a time of frustration and gloom. It is rather like the calm after the storm, although the shape and nature of the national entity will have changed radically.
Whether or not you favour these changes personally, it would seem that a time has arrived when the collective comes to terms with the necessary changes that have preceded this Pluto transit, and the rewards of the willingness to embrace change can be felt by everyone.

HANFORD, Calif. (MCT) — The driver who slammed his big rig into an Amtrak train Monday afternoon in central California wasn't impaired at the time of the crash, but can't explain how it happened, either.
Forty people were hurt in the high-speed collision south of Hanford including big rig driver Macario Medina, 32, of McFarland.
California Highway Patrol spokesman Jerry Pierce said Tuesday that Medina was driving about 55 mph — the speed limit on rural Kansas Avenue just west of 10th Avenue — when he crashed into the Amtrak train. Medina's truck hit between the last of four passenger cars and the engine that was pushing the train at about 80 mph.
An Amtrak spokeswoman told The Associated Press Tuesday that the crossing gate was down, lights were flashing and bells were ringing when the collision occurred. There also are two warning signs with flashing lights on westbound Kansas Avenue, one just before the Avenue 10 intersection and the other just past that intersection, about 200 feet ahead of the tracks.
Investigators probing the cause of the crash plan to look at the condition of Medina. Court records do not reveal any other driving incidents involving him.
Pierce of the CHP said investigators determined that Medina was not impaired at the time of the crash. His truck overturned north of the intersection and Medina was pinned inside his shattered cab for about an hour, emergency officials said.
Pierce said Medina suffered moderate injuries; no other details about his condition were available.
And, Pierce said, Medina has been unable to explain to investigators why he drove through the crossing signal. But, "it's not uncommon for us to never really find out what happened."
The truck was carrying cotton trash — the stuff left over after the ginning process. The truck is owned by Whisler Ag Services Inc. of Bakersfield. Details about Medina's workday Monday weren't known.
Amtrak spokeswoman Vernae Graham said 39 people on the train were injured in the crash, AP reported. Authorities have described the injuries as mostly bumps and bruises although Graham said at least one person suffered a broken leg.
The impact from the truck pushed two of the train's four cars and its locomotive off the tracks.
The train was on its way from Oakland to Bakersfield. The cars that derailed came to rest next to an alfalfa field about a half mile south of the intersection.
The track reopened Tuesday morning after crews replaced hundreds of feet of damaged track and some signal equipment.
Kansas Avenue was closed most of Tuesday while investigators finished their work there. The crossing has been the scene of two other crashes in the last five years.
In May 2008, a truck hauling a load of lemons smacked into a northbound Amtrak train at the Kansas Avenue crossing. About 33 passengers on the train received minor injuries in that crash, which derailed one of the passenger cars and pushed the locomotive into some cars of a freight train that was waiting on an adjacent track.
And in August 2007, one person was airlifted to a hospital after a northbound Amtrak train hit a car that apparently stalled on the tracks at Kansas Avenue. The train was carrying 150 people. The train's crew was warned that the car was on the tracks and began slowing but was not able to stop in time. No one aboard the train was hurt in that crash.

Florida's 12th university became a reality earlier this year, and there is already discussion about whether the state needs a 13th.
House Speaker Will Weatherford challenged the board governing state universities to look into creating an online-only school in order to increase access to distance education. And Monday, the Board of Governors received the results of an independent study on the topic and discussed next steps.
Conducted by The Parthenon Group, the report outlines four options for Florida's universities and colleges, both public and private.
The first allows each school to continue operating its own distance education program, represented the status quo, and it got the least amount of support from the Board of Governors' Strategic Planning Committee.
The second and third options — systemwide collaboration or allowing one or more institutions to serve as the lead drivers of new programs — got a more positive response. The committee asked staff to research a hybrid of these two choices ahead of next month's full board meeting.
Board of Governors Chairman Dean Colson said he would like to have the state colleges and universities submit proposals to serve as lead institutions in order to create a sense of innovation and competition.
The board also decided to keep option four, a standalone online institution, on the table. But in a written response to the Parthenon report, state university provosts said they have "serious concerns" about creating a new university, such as the cost, competition with existing programs, establishing accreditation and creating another bureaucracy.

Minutes later, the 30-year-old former Painesville man was found not guilty of raping a woman at the former Argonne Arms Apartments.
Allen went on trial Tuesday on charges he repeatedly raped the 21-year-old single mother at the Painesville complex, now called Seneca Grove Apartments, around 2:30 a.m. Dec. 21, 2011.
After deliberating about two hours, a jury acquitted Allen on three counts of rape and one count each of gross sexual imposition and burglary.
Defense attorneys Steven Bradley and Mark Marein argued the sex was consensual.
"We were relieved and happy, obviously," Bradley said after the verdict. "We put our faith in the justice system. The only real evidence the state was able to present here was (the woman's) testimony."
And that testimony had too many inconsistencies to count, Bradley said.
Allen showed no reaction to the verdict, but his supporters — who did not wish to comment — cried tears of joy.
Lake County Prosecutor Charles Coulson was not immediately available for comment.
The case was heard in front of Judge Eugene A. Lucci.
Allen had been in jail since July on $500,00 bond.
Allen had been wanted since October 2012 after he was indicted and at one time was listed on the "Dangerous Dozen" list of most wanted fugitives for the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Task Force. He was apprehended by U.S. Marshals last year after a three-hour standoff with Cleveland police and SWAT teams.
A civil trial filed by the woman claiming the complex had poor security and caused the rape remains pending.

A Tampa couple faces decades behind bars after a string of bank robberies spanning two states.
Cara and Immanuel Williams were arrested last Thursday. Cara Williams is accused of robbing Trinity Bank in Dothan last Monday. Immanuel Williams is a suspect in a Wednesday bank robbery in Gulf Shores.
Federal agents say the pattern of the bank robberies was the same.
28-year old Immanuel Williams is seen at the bank teller windows wearing a hat and delivering a demand note for cash. This went on at two banks in Tampa, a bank in Brandon, Lakeland, Plant City, and in Orlando wearing a 70's style outfit.
"This seemed to be a much larger case. there were, I believe it was 15 bank robberies and it was multi-jurisdictional, so this was a case that the FBI did get involved and that's why these are federal charges that they're facing," said HCSO spokesperson Cristal Bermudez Nunez.
The robbery spree stretched from Tampa Bay to Ft. Myers and even two thefts in Alabama.
Williams is a former postal employee, while his wife and alleged accomplice 28-year old Cara Lee Williams is the suspected getaway car driver.
She's a former chase bank employee and according to the FBI, she took a day off from her bank job to do a bank job in Tampa in December of last year.
"Much larger than just your regular bank robbery where you have one suspect and one bank robbery."
"They're all contained within our jurisdiction. That wasn't the case with these two suspects."
Both suspects face federal robbery charges that could lead to maximum sentences of 20 years behind bars.
Both suspects were tracked by agents using cell phone tower pings of their wireless calls and by the clear video surveillance pictures that matched in multiple bank locations.
Cara Williams has a bond hearing scheduled for Thursday morning in Tampa.

"They are normal human beings. All their senses are intact, so they can feel and see ... they just can't move."
That's the description of locked-in syndrome, a condition frequently brought on by strokes, as explained by Dr Graeme Hankey, a consultant neurologist and head of the stroke unit at Royal Perth Hospital (RPH), Western Australia.
Locked-in syndrome sufferer Tony Nicklinson, 57, who overnight failed in his bid to Britain's High Court to legally end his life, has described his life following a 2005 stroke that left him unable to speak or move below his neck as "a living nightmare".
Dr Hankey said the condition is "not common" and about two or three of the 600 stroke victims admitted to his hospital each year have locked-in syndrome.
But the condition, while rare, has no cure. What medical professionals and caregivers can do is to give patients the best nursing and rehabilitation possible so "they can be kept alive and realise the potential for spontaneous recovery", he said.
"You don't need a test. You just need to assess the person at the bedside," Dr Hankey said about how doctors look for locked-in syndrome.
"You can say to them, 'Can you lift us your arms, legs, can you say anything, can you move your eyes, can you feel me?'. Often they can't communicate with you but they can communicate by moving their eyes or just blinking. So you say blink twice for yes or once for no."
The most common cause of locked-in syndrome is a stroke, which results from a blocked blood vessel into the brain stem called the basilar artery. The stroke "takes out" the front of the brain stem, where your motor output comes from, he said.
If the medical professional has seen the patient within 4½ hours of their stroke, they can be given clot-busting treatment to restore the blood flow. If the doctor sees the patient after that time period, "all you can do is to try and prevent any further propagation of the clot with anti-plater drugs like aspirin", Dr Hankey said.
The key to helping locked-in syndrome patients improve their chances of recovery is nursing and rehabilitation.
"For a start you have to be cognisant that they are a normal human being. They just can't move," Dr Hankey said.
"You've got to be very careful what you say, because some people think that they are unconscious and talk about them as if they are not there. But they can see and feel. They want to scratch. They want to empty their bladder.
"We had one person who couldn't even move their eyes but you could tell by their pupils constricting or dilating if they were experiencing pain. You try to work out a way to communicate with them," he added.
Dr Hankey said many locked-in syndrome patients die from immobility complications such as pneumonia, urine infections or from skin infections through pressure sores.
But with "very good nursing care they can be kept alive and realise the potential for spontaneous recovery", he said.
And some people do get better, although a complete recovery is uncommon, Dr Hankey said.
Former British police officer and teacher Richard Marsh told The Guardian last week of his silent struggle to survive after suffering a massive stroke in 2009.
"The doctors would just stand at the foot of the bed and just talk like I wasn't in the room. I just wanted to holler: 'Hey people, I'm still here!'," he told the newspaper.
Four months and nine days later, he walked out of his long-term care facility after recovering 95 per cent of his functions.
Another sufferer of locked-in syndrome, Peter Coghlan, said he walked out of the Shenton Park Rehabilitation Centre at RPH six months after he suffered a massive stroke.
But for Mr Nicklinson, who plans to appeal the High Court judgment, the rejected bid means "yet another period of physical discomfort, misery and mental anguish while we find out who controls my life - me or the state".
A second victim of the syndrome, "Martin", who also lost his challenge, said in a statement through his lawyer that he was "even more angry and frustrated".
"My life following my stroke is undignified, distressing and intolerable. I wish to be able to exercise the freedom which everyone else would have - to decide how to end this constant tortuous situation," he said.

A 'good' problem often times presents an opportunity to create something extraordinary. Miami has a 'good' problem on its hands: how can the various protagonists of the Miami entrepreneurial story be connected in a way that is tech-savvy and that allows for progress and productivity to occur in real-time?
In discussing this problem with organizations and entrepreneurs in Miami, I was introduced to a vibrant software development company called Rokk3r Labs in South Beach. We shared a similar passion to tackle this issue. We identified it as a community concern that was actually an opportunity (a 'good' problem!). As a result we threw traditional thinking out the window and came up with something extraordinary: mapyourstartup.com, a web and mobile app to connect the Miami startup ecosystem!
Mapyourstartup.com is a not-for-profit with a mission to encourage, promote and connect the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Miami, and to showcase South Florida as a thriving business destination. At mapyourstartup.com, visitors get a real-time view into how many startups exist, which are hiring, who are the investors in the community and so much more.
What makes this effort even more special is that Rokk3r Labs held an event in South Beach to build the mapyourstartup.com web and mobile app in just 12 hours! We're working hard to improve the site, and our next update will be releasing the data APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to the community through mapyourstartup.com, encouraging others to create mash-ups and their own apps (as well as request additional data) using the constantly updated information to support the Miami start-up scene.
In the few days since mapyourstartup.com launched, 45+ companies have registered. It is inspiring to see so many innovative companies in our backyard! Although most are tech-driven, they are spread out over a number of industries: fashion, payments, entertainment, etc. This is further evidence of the diverse talents, backgrounds and ambition present in Miami's entrepreneurial landscape. In order to further support these activities, we will be announcing our first event in the coming weeks for Miami's entrepreneurial community.
As we build mapyourstartup.com to connect Miami's startup ecosystem, we would love your involvement, feedback on how to improve, and thoughts on topics for future events. Connect via email (firstname.lastname@example.com), Twitter (@mapyourstartup) and Facebook (/mapyourstartup).
MapYourStartup.com was created by Norberto "Tito" Gil (@titogil), who is shown in the photo above, and Rokk3r Labs (www.rokk3rlabs.com). Norberto "Tito" Gil, an entrepreneur with a background in finance, is dedicated to further connecting the entrepreneurial ecosystem in South Florida, where he grew up.

National Weather Service See what the National Weather service is predicting here
24-Hour satellite Watch NOAA's 24-hour satellite image here Real-time conditions See what Boulder's weather is like now at the National Center for Atmospheric Research here
Boulder-area residents can expect a warming trend the rest of this week, according to forecasts, after light snow showers Tuesday morning.
More than 8 inches of snow fell over the weekend. Monday provided a sunny reprieve, but snow showers returned to many parts of Boulder County at about 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Scattered flurries resulted in 0.8 inches of snow in Boulder on Tuesday, according to meteorologist Matt Kelsch. With no more precipitation in the forecast this week, Kelsch said Boulder will likely close the month of February with about 18.5 inches of total snowfall, above the roughly 11.5-inch average, "but not exceptional."
Wednesday's forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with a high around 33, according to the National Weather Service.
Thursday's forecast calls for partly sunny skies with a high near 37, and Friday's high is expected to reach 40 degrees.
The coming weekend is expected to be dry and mild. Saturday's forecast calls for sunny skies and a high near 51, and temperatures could exceed 55 degrees Sunday.

Free Agent
The next free agent to fall under our microscope is former Derby, QPR, Nottingham Forest and Norwich goalkeeper Lee Camp. Over the next month or so we'll be speaking to a host of footballers at a crossroads in their careers as they look to get hooked up for next season.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 06/07/13 12:00pm
A CV which boasts over 300 career appearances, Premier League experience and nine international caps for Northern Ireland suggests Lee Camp will not be in the free agent pool for long.
Spells at Derby, Queens Park Rangers, Nottingham Forest and Norwich have allowed the 28-year-old goalkeeper to forge quite a reputation, and he is looking forward to opening a new chapter in 2013/14.
Where he ends up remains to be seen, but Camp is ruling nothing out in his search for regular first-team football at the highest possible level.
What's your situation at the moment and your mindset at this stage of the summer?
I'm a free agent and I haven't got a club. My mindset has been the same now for a while. I always had in mind that I would see out my contract at Nottingham Forest. Once negotiations broke down, I went to Norwich in January - which was fantastic, but I knew that was a short-term deal to help them out. It also helped me out no end. I always knew that I would probably come around to this situation, unless something changed in January or if something a bit more came up at Norwich - which you never say never in football. It was a very short-term thing, though, and I always knew I would get into this position. I'm quite comfortable with where I'm at at the minute.
Is it just a case of being patient and waiting for the right opportunity to present itself?
Being a goalkeeper as well, there is only one position - two within a matchday squad - so my position is a little bit different to an outfield player who can perhaps play in a number of positions and add variety. I respect that there are only so many spots. It's about finding the right thing. I like playing football - I'm not one to sit around and do nothing, I like the pressures of a match day and playing. It's about trying to find the right one and getting back playing. I missed playing when I was at Norwich and that's important for me. But I understand that the position with a goalkeeper, you can only play one at a time. I will never rule anything out, but I enjoy playing.
It's the first time in your career that you've been in this situation, are you trying to look at it positively - with your fate in your own hands now?
It's the first time in my career that I have come across this. I have been in situations before where I have been told that I can leave football clubs, but I've always had time on my contracts and I've eventually been able to move on. Hopefully I'll find something that's right for me. It's nice to be able to think that your destiny is in your own hands, in a way. In another way, that only happens if you've got offers, a couple of clubs, and you can pick and choose. It's nice to think that if something comes around that suits all parties you can move on quite quickly and it makes the transition a lot smoother with not having a club to speak to or try to get out of or things regarding a transfer. It could be very straightforward.
Are there any regrets about how things ended at Forest, given that there were contract talks and Billy Davies returned shortly after you left - someone you have enjoyed playing under?
Not really. I think my time was up there. The new owners came in and they have got ideas about what they want to do and where they want to take the football club - chopping and changing the managers. I was in a position where my contract was running out and they have got to do what they think is right for their football club. I respect that. It's business and I don't take anything personally in football. They had to do what was right for their football club and I was in a position where my deal was coming up and we reached a mutual agreement, simple as that. With Billy coming back, would I have hung around if I knew he was coming back? I don't know. I think my time was up there and you move on. The football club moves on and you have to move on personally. It was probably the right thing for everybody.
Back in the present, has there been much interest so far - you've been keeping yourself fit at Dundee United haven't you?
Yeah, there is talk and I've had phone calls and spoken to a few people. There are some really good things that I have spoken about but nothing has come to fruition as of yet. I've got family in the Dundee area so I'm really grateful to Jackie McNamara and the goalie coach Craig Hinchcliffe up at Dundee United and the rest of his staff for allowing me to come in for a week to get fit and use their facilities. I am really grateful for that. I am a big believer in training, I like to train, and the easiest thing is to go away and have an extra holiday and do other things but I want to be fit, I want to be ready when something happens. I don't want to be playing catch-up or having to worry about fitness, I want to hit the ground running. I am really grateful to them for that and hopefully with one of the things that have gone, something will fall into place sooner rather than later and I can just fall into it and hit the ground running.
What level are you looking at - you're a proven performer in the Championship aren't you?
I think you have to be realistic There are obviously teams looking for goalkeepers, but there are only a limited amount of places that are looking. You hope that someone inside the football clubs likes you and they want to do a deal and you can strike a deal. I'm like anybody, I want to play at the highest level I can possibly play at. I had six months in the Premier League and it opened my eyes to how special it is, and it's the place to be. I was lucky that I was at a great club with some really fantastic people at Norwich and it opened my eyes. I won't lie, I'd love to be in there again, but I'm also realistic and know I'm more proven at Championship level than in the Premier League - I've only been there six months, I accept that. Whatever opportunity comes around, I'll look at everything. The Premier League is the place to be for anybody and if you haven't got aspirations of being in there, then there is something wrong.
While you want to play as high as possible, you are also someone who wants regular games so are you hoping to go in somewhere where you will be first choice?
Yeah, I want to go and play football. Realistically, if I want to get back playing and have that, the Championship is the target I have to be looking at. I'm not going to walk into any Premier League club and be the number one there. It's the place to be and if there is an opportunity to go and compete or be around it then that is something I will look at, but anybody who knows me knows that I enjoy playing and that's what I want - that responsibility and pressure. But it's about being realistic and setting your targets right and keeping things in perspective.
And relocation isn't an issue I take it, you're prepared to go where the best offer takes you?
I'm open to anything. I like to experience new parts of the country. I've been down south before, spent time down there, and I'm obviously a Midlands boy. I have got family in the Dundee area in Scotland, so location isn't overly important to me. It's about the right things for myself and the football club I go to. I'm open to all experiences in life. I think it broadens the mind, as they say.
I imagine you're keen to get something sorted quickly aren't you, with pre-season already under way?
I speak to friends who have started back and it's that thing, a week before pre-season you start thinking about all the running and, from a goalkeeper's point of view, hitting the deck again, but I've enjoyed it this week being back in with the boys at Dundee United. Once you start back, I think players like it no matter how much they moan about it - it's nice to be back in with the lads. It would be nice to find somewhere I can call my own and be part of a team again and really get my teeth into something. I'm itching for a challenge. I like playing and I want to be a part of something. It's something I miss and I would like to have something sorted. Everyone likes a bit of security in their lives and know what they are doing and move forward.
Are you looking forward with optimism? Are you confident that you will get something sorted that excites you and presents the kind of challenge you are after?
I think so. It's just a waiting game. Football clubs have got to take care of business. You can sometimes get wrapped up a little bit in that you are the be-all and end-all of everything, but you have to realise that football clubs are probably doing a lot of deals and a lot of things bringing players in and out and getting offered players left, right and centre and the usual stuff that goes on. It's just being patient and being ready. If something comes around sooner rather than later, fantastic. But it's one of those things, you can't force it. You have to be patient, be calm, be confident in your ability and when it comes around be ready.
We would like to hear your thoughts on the best free transfers out there. Who should we be talking to? Who are this summer's bargains? Who should your club be targeting?

Men's, Women's Cross Country Ranked 11th in Preseason Mt. Regional Rankings
Thursday, Aug. 28, 2014
Utah State's [University] men and women's cross country teams are each ranked 11th in the Mountain Regional Preseason Team Rankings, announced Monday [Aug. 25, 2014] by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), as voted on by a single coach from each respective region.
Utah State enters its second season in the Mountain West, coming off fifth and sixth-place conference finishes for the Aggie women and men, respectively. The Aggie women are one of six Mountain West members to be ranked in the top-15 in the region. USU is joined by New Mexico (2nd), Air Force (6th), Wyoming (9th), Nevada (10th) and Colorado State (12th).
Four other women's teams from the state of Utah were picked in the top-15. Weber State (3rd), BYU (5th), Utah (7th) and Southern Utah (13th) join the Aggies in the rankings.
On the men's side, five other Mountain West teams were ranked regionally. USU is joined in the rankings by New Mexico (4th), Colorado State (5th), Air Force (6th) and Wyoming (8th).
Additionally, Utah State's men are one of five teams from the Beehive State that are ranked in the Mountain Region poll. USU is joined by BYU (3rd), Southern Utah (7th), Weber State (10th) and Utah Valley (14th).
USTFCCCA Regional Cross Country Rankings are determined subjectively by a single member coach in each respective region. The regional representative is tasked with weighing returning team strength with current-season results in determining predicted team finishes at the NCAA Regional Championships.
USU's men and women's cross country teams begin the 2014 season by hosting the Aggie Invitational Saturday, Aug. 30, at the Innovation Campus Wellness Park.
