Area school districts and local colleges are rewriting the rules for high school dual-enrollment courses to meet the changing demands of Florida lawmakers.
Beginning in August, all school districts will have to pay tuition for public and home-schooled high school students in their county to take classes at area colleges. Previously, districts only had to pay for textbooks and materials while the colleges footed the bill for students enrolled in the courses.
"It's a game-changer, but we'll just have to roll with it and move forward," said Bill Emerson, the assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction in Santa Rosa County.
It's unclear now what the impact might be for the students, but the revised law still calls for them to be able to take dual-enrollment courses at no cost.
"The opportunity for students still has not changed," according to Sasha Jarrell, a vice president at Northwest Florida State College, which handles all the dual-enrollment classes for students who live in Okaloosa and Walton counties.
Under the new agreement, school districts will pay the colleges $71.98 per credit hour for each student who takes a class at a college campus, but they will not have to pay the additional fees a typical college student does, such as a capital improvement or technology fee, Jarrell said.
On average, a single class is worth three credit hours, she said.
In the past year school year, students in Okaloosa and Walton counties took more than 7,000 credit hours at NWF State, according to data Jarrell provided.
"This is (a change) for the post-secondary side that's going to increase our revenue," she said. " … But I don't know that we found the best solution."
According to Senate President Don Gaetz, the decision to change who pays for dual enrollment came after lawmakers increased the overall budget for school funding, but at the same time tried to cut repetitive costs.
Previously, school districts not only didn't have to pay tuition for courses their students took at the colleges, but received state funding as if the students were still in one of their classrooms.
"Taxpayers ought to pay the one provider who is actually providing the course work and instruction," said Gaetz, R-Niceville.
Okaloosa County Superintendent of Schools Mary Beth Jackson said she's concerned about the impact the change will have on her district's budget because an avearage of 688 students enroll in college courses during the fall and spring semesters, and most of the additional money the district received from the state already is tied up to cover costs from other mandates.
"At first glance it is a cost that we have not had to incur and now we do," she said. "So our job is now where are we going to find the money."
She said one option is having more teachers get certification from NWF State to teach dual-enrollment classes at the high school. If that happens, the district will remain responsible for only the course material costs and will keep state funding for having students in its classrooms.
Emerson said Santa Rosa County also is considering that route and perhaps limiting the number of dual-enrollment credit hours a student could take in high school to 60 — the hours needed to earn an associate's degree. Right now, he estimates it will cost the district about $1 million next school year for its students to take classes at Pensacola State College.
"We want to provide the service to our kids and parents, so we'll make it work the best we can," Emerson said.
Walton County, which has significantly fewer students than Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties, also is taking a hard look at the potential impact.
"We've got to see what we hammer out in our articulation agreement (with NWF State)," said Alexis Tibbetts, who is an instructional support coordinator for the district.
Leaders from the county will meet with college officials at the beginning of July to draw up the terms of the new agreement, she said.
It has to be finalized and sent to the Florida Department of Education by early August. Until then, it's hard to say what the impact will be, but Tibbetts did say district officials understand the value of the dual-enrollment courses for students who want college credit but don't want to have to pass an Advanced Placement course.
"Dual enrollment is a great option for a lot of students," Tibbetts said. "And it's a big, big money-saver for parents."
School districts aren't the only one's adjusting to the change. NWF State's Collegiate High School is looking at between $560,000 and $580,000 in additional costs under the new law, according to Donna Utley, the college's associate vice president of business services who also oversees finances for the high school.
Last year, students at the 10th- through 12th- grade school accumulated more than 7,900 credit hours. Some of those hours were earned by sophomores, but most were earned by the juniors and seniors, who take all of their classes as dual enrollment, Utley said.
Unlike the school districts, Collegiate High isn't receiving any more money to help defer the cost, so NWF State is stepping up to cover the expense for its charter school, she said.
"It's just a shifting of where the money is," Utley said.

In a letter to the Nature Conservancy congratulating the group on its 50th anniversary President Bush wrote, "The Nature Conservancy´s accomplishments over the last five decades are remarkable."
No kidding! Surely the founders back in 1951, who were then known as The Ecologist Union, could not have envisioned what their organization would one day become. Fifty years later The Nature Conservancy . . .
For awhile there it looked like The Nature Conservancy had plans to buy up all the land in this country. But they realized that even they didn´t have quite that much money. Besides, the more land they bought the more they had to pay to take care of it. According to writer Tom Knudson, "from 1990 to 2000, administrative overhead at the Conservancy jumped from $14.8 million to $40.2 million -- up 170 percent. Its fund-raising bill, which includes membership solicitations, went from $8.8 million to $45.7 million, up 420 percent."
If The Nature Conservancy wants to brag half a century from now about the same kind of growth it achieved in its first fifty years, then they had to change their business model. This was clear to TNC´s new president Steve McCormick, a lawyer and former head of the California arm of TNC. While he ran the Nature Conservancy in California, McCormick changed that group´s focus from trying to buy up all the land to merely being able to control it. His first year at the national organization has been spent trying to instill that same philosophy.
McCormick has said that "nature preserves are not sufficient to heal an ailing planet. Our mission speaks to preserving biological diversity, not creating nature preserves. Land acquisition alone will not enable us to work at the scale we have to work at." To McCormick the problem was clear: Almost half of the group´s income was going toward taking care of properties they already owned, and as they purchased more land there would be less and less money left over to satiate their desire for more real estate. "Custodial maintenance is an Achilles´ heel for us," McCormick said.
McCormick now wants to shed some Nature Conservancy property by selling it or gifting it so the group can turn their efforts to protecting much larger regions of this country and the world. To do this The Nature Conservancy doesn´t have to own all the land, merely control it. Why buy the land when you can effectively control it through conservation easements? And if they could get paid to manage that land, well, that´s even better! Thus the new battle cry for the Nature Conservancy seems to be a variation on Horace Greeley´s sage advice: "Go west young man . . . and bring back conservation easements."
Not everyone is thrilled with The Nature Conservancy´s new look. Huey Johnson, a former western region director of the Conservancy and green activist has said McCormick has "made the Conservancy a tool of government and companies with questionable environmental records."
The Capital Research Center in a report titled "Land Grabbing Secrets Of The Nature Conservancy" said, "The truth is The Nature Conservancy is really little more than a massive, ruthless real estate machine using its tax exempt status and ties to the government to create wealth for itself. The Nature Conservancy hides behind phony corporations; serves as a shill for government agencies and works behind the scenes with more visible environmental groups to intimidate property owners into selling." Their long-term goals, according to The Capital Research Center, are simple: money and power and so far so good. "Its power, wealth and control is almost beyond comprehension," says the Capital Research Center, "yet it is able to maintain an image of idealism and concern for the environment."
Judy Keeler of Animas, New Mexico has been up close and personal with The Nature Conservancy for years and she has been less than impressed. "My experience with the Nature Conservancy is there is no accountability," says Keeler, who´s ranch sits right in the middle of the million-acre Malpais Borderlands/ Nature Conservancy Project. "I´ve been attending meetings, on a local level, for seven years now. I try to go to the Malpai Group meetings, when they invite me, which is rare, even though our ranch sits in the heart of the one million acres they intend to "manage" for ecosystems and fires. If you disagree with them, they just quit inviting you to their meetings. If you question their agenda, they just conceal it a little deeper. They no longer include me, or anyone else that questions their agenda, in their "management" scheme for this one million acres. However, they continue to steam roll their agenda over the tops of all the other land owners in our area.
"TNC didn´t come into our area like friends," continues Keeler. "They came in with the attitude they they knew it all and were going to "educate" us local ignoramuses on how to "properly" manage our ranches. I just keep collecting more information that continues to alarm me as we advance in this "socialistic" agenda, not government owned, just government managed!
"When you study their mode of operation, you can see how they start with something believable, but move to the "unthinkable" quite quickly. Every con started with something believable and good," says Keeler. "That´s how TNC appears to work. In our area, it´s my opinion that the potential gas and oil reserves is what they´d really like to tie up. They already own all the mineral rights under the private lands on the Gray Ranch, this was "granted" to them as a gift from Tenneco about 10 years ago.
"I attended a "Community Based Partnerships and Ecosystems for a Healthy Environment" series about two years ago. It was sponsored by the Gila Forest Service. The series was developed "cooperatively" by the USDA-FS, BLM, US F&W, Park Service, TNC and the NRCS. When I asked how TNC had managed to become a federal agency, the leaders all claimed they weren´t. But most of the workshops were presented by TNC personnel! Now they´re trying to get the local NRCS to promote their concept!
"In all my "meetings" I have become increasingly alarmed at TNC´s move to position themselves as ´The All Knowing and Benevolent Land Managers´ of our public lands," says Keeler. "They have signed MOUs with White Sands Missile Range to manage the land. They´re working on a similar understanding with Fort Huachuca . . . and, Lord knows how many other military bases they´re negotiating with. I figure they´ll make more money "managing" these areas, than they did buying them up! Concludes Keeler, "There´s no doubt in my mind that they are positioning themselves as THE LAND MANAGERS on public land, and by extension, private lands, in the West."
TNC has mastered the art of getting what they want, although their methods often vary. Sometimes it´s sheer intimidation, like the letter from TNC´s Illinois director, Albert Pyott, to a professor in Germany who owned land along the Cache River in Illinois. Pyott wrote, "If your land is not acquired through voluntary negotiation, we will recommend its acquisition through condemnation."
They have other methods that are a little more subtle. TNC of Colorado is attempting to develop a free-range, chemical-free beef product to be marketed under the name, Yampa Valley Beef. They refer to their product as "Conservation Beef" and advertise that, "This new product is healthier to consume and better for the environment. The result is the preservation of the cowboy culture and the natural heritage of the American West." The Ford Foundation gave funds for market research and the W. Alton Jones Foundation gave TNC $100,000 to develop a business plan. Conservation Beef was formed with The Nature Conservancy as a full partner. Guess what you have to do to become a producer for Conservation Beef?
To sign up you must agree to manage your land according to standards the Nature Conservancy helped write. After being accepted into Conservation Beef the rancher must either give The Nature Conservancy a conservation easement on the ranch, or transfer development rights on the property.
In 1996 TNC received 11 percent of its income from the sale of private land to federal, state and local governments. It is estimated that TNC sells about two-thirds of the private land it purchases to the government. Any profits are used to buy up more land and, in turn, sell it the the government. Such behavior has tabbed TNC with the title of "The Government´s Realtor." In many cases, after the land sale, the government pays TNC to manage the property. Using such a business model TNC could go on forever buying up this nation´s real estate. But it gets even better for them.
The Nature Conservancy receives its seed money to buy land from many of our country´s largest corporations. By giving TNC grant money and outright gifts those companies hope to cloak themselves in a green veil. It quickly became apparent to TNC´s President McCormick that begging for dollars the old fashioned way, with phone solicitors and junk mail, was not the most cost efficient way of doing business. So, McCormick went after corporations. "It´s just a greater return," he says.
This author obtained records from 1994 through 1999 to see what companies, groups or foundations gave money to TNC. The biggest contributor by far was the David & Lucile Packard Foundation who gave TNC grants on 34 occasions totaling over $45 million between 1996 and 1999. The John and Catherine MacArthur Foundation gave money 18 times. General Motors donated nearly five million dollars and more than 100 trucks. Canon U.S.A. contributed $10.3 million in cash and equipment.
Some readers were appalled to read in this publication a few months back that The Nature Conservancy was involved in developing up-scale homes for sale on the coast of Virginia. TNC is also involved in oil production and receives oil royalties. In fact, TNC has gone to the well quite often. From 1994 through 1999 the following oil companies contributed land, mineral rights or money to TNC: Amoco Foundation four times, Texaco Foundation five times, Arco Foundation five times, Mobil Foundation four times, Phillips Petroleum Foundation 10 times, Chevron Foundation 13 times, Unocal Foundation and Exxon Mobil one time each.
The Georgia-Pacific Foundation and Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation, both businesses built on what environmentalists prefer to call "resource extraction," were also major donors.
More recent donations to TNC include those of the Doris Duke Foundation, Wolf Creek Charitable Foundation and the Morgridge Family Foundation who all gave between $10-20 million to TNC´s Campaign for Conservation. Five to ten million dollar donors for the same campaign included the Paul G. Allen Forest Protection Foundation, the Mary Flagler Chary Charitable Trust, Central & South West Corporation and the George S. & Delores Dore Eccles Foundation. Charities and corporations donating $1 million or more include the Ahmanson Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Georgia Pacific Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the Victoria Foundation and the William Penn Foundation.
The Nature Conservancy´s business model of extracting large sums of cash from companies and then using the money to buy up conservation easements, is brilliant and quite effective. But doesn´t it seem ironic that this nation´s businesses, the product of free enterprise and private property rights, are financing the potential lock-up of vast areas of this country? Is this what our founding fathers had in mind?
Land owners and ranchers who might be considering donating development rights or a conservation easement on their land to the TNC, believing it will be protected forever, might want to consider The Nature Conservancy´s seemingly unquenchable thirst for land, money and power. Who´s to say what the TNC will do with your land in 10, 50 or even or even 100 years from now if they need the cash?
Forever is a very long time, you know?

Nick rematch please
Sooooo, Rory fights the technical, smart fight with the laser jab and Ellenberger fights defensively outside of range, with an eye on conserving his energy for three rounds, careful not to waste his power. That's about right.
Unless they put in a sick third, I fear Dana's gonna revengefuck one or both of these guys for this not being a slambang brawl on network television, since that's what he guns for on these shows.
Let's just put it like this, Ellenberger didn't win that fight.
That was such a disappointing fight.

How to Apply:
-Spray fragrance directly on the skin, avoiding the eye area
Musk Eau de Toilette Spray
Our special Musk "recipe":
- Begins with an initial creamy, fresh citrus burst of Bergamot Nectar and Orange Blossom
- Follows with a soft floral bouquet of Rose, Lily, Ylang-Ylang and Neroli
- Dries down to a warm, sensual Oriental finish of Tonka Nut, White Patchouli and, of course, Musk
"I love how deep and multifacted this fragrance is; it reveals its many layers over time!"
Rokiah, Kiehl's Insider
Rollover to enlarge
How to Apply:
I married her. She had other attributes as well. I began wearing Houbigant Musk
for the next several years. After they discontinued the product, it took a few years to find this product. For me, this the most sensual scent I know. I have known women to swoon in the elevator when I wore this to work. One woman passed up her stop to sniff the musk for several more floors before getting off. (no, the elevator silly)
I like this fragrance because it is light, not over-powering, but lasting. It's really the only other fragrance I use except for mixing a few drops of patchouli oil into a sesame oil based oil. Absolutely recommend this product !
Only other fragrance I use is a pink grapefruit body lotion as a base. Use it almost ne or mix with other scents.
To me that simply means that these are the main three ingredients and it also means that you are getting a high percentage of Kiehl's Musk Oil fragrance.
I've been using this product since the late 1960s. I still get compliments from young and old noses :-).

Cycling hygene
open topic, for anything cycling related.
Cycling hygene
Hi guys,
I know this is going to sound like a VERY silly question / post, so I'm just preparing you guys
I currently commute to work, about 10km each way (20km per day). I bought myself a Rock Lobster cycling jersey for the summer.
I only have one of these jerseys. Do you guys wear the same cycling jersey everyday or do you have few jerseys which you rotate in the week?
Obviously i cant afford to have 5 cycling jerseys for each day of the week, so do you guys re-use your jerseys even though you have had a good sweat in them?
I know, a rather strange question, but just wanted to see what you guys do.
Re: Cycling hygene
I have lots of jerseys.
You can buy cheap wicking sports t-shirts from BigW which will do a bang-up job too. Just no pockets.
Re: Cycling hygene
If it is only the jersey that I need to wash, I usually handwash it everyday and spin it in the washing machine. It dries overnight since it is made of those synthetic quick dry fabric.
Re: Cycling hygene
Thanks guys!
I was thinking of wearing the cheap wicking sports t-shirts under my cycling jersey.. with the idea that it will absorb most the sweat hence keeping my one and only cycling jersey cleaner for longer.
Re: Cycling hygene
For any item of cycling clothing, the number of washes should never be more than 1 behind the number of wears, and that only briefly.
Tomorrow: Behind your ears - yes, you should wash there!
My bike blog. Long on rumination, rambling and opinion. Why let facts ruin everything?
Re: Cycling hygene
I've got good jerseys (club gear etc) but also find the cheap Cell ones to work quite well. It's not hard to buy some spare ones.
Kestrel Talon road
Como Vivente road
Principia track
Cervelo P2K TT
Merida CX4
..and 1/3 of my wife's Concaceoi DA steelie
Re: Cycling hygene
No, that won't work. For a start, two jerseys = warming-up very quickly with the possibility of overheating on warm or hot days and also, the sweat will just wick out of one layer and into the other. Remember that wicking fabrics don't absorb, hence the word "wicking". You can get sub-$20 jerseys online from Cell if you need the jersey style of top or, as mentioned, wicking fabric T-shirts for $12 - $15 at Big W or KMart

Re: Cycling hygene
I's also signup to a couple of sites and get their newsletters as they often have specials on jerseys.
Other than that, I wear a jersey twice (Monday/Wednesday, Tuesday/Thursday) airing on the day between. Cuts down on the complaining (oops - washing)
Re: Cycling hygene
Do you apply this "theory" to gloves? because boy mine would be lucky to get washed once a month.
All these responses make me feel unclean, I'll wear a jersey for a 2nd ride which the first may have been 60km's and the jersey has just been thrown on the floor and still a little damp when i put it back on, but i am no commuting cyclist so offending people with BO isn't an issue.
Re: Cycling hygene
When I wear gloves, YES!
Mostly I don't like wearing gloves.
Re-wearing cycling clothing that is pre-sweated is just plain gross.
*makes mental note of people never to ride behind*

Re: Cycling hygene
I have got multiple lots of cycling kit so I just wash it all every day. Gloves usually let them go a few days depending if I have snotted all over them or not.
Re: Cycling hygene
I have many jerseys. You can get some cheap new ones on Cell or used ones on Ebay. There are other outlets that also sell cheapies(ABC, Torpedo, Cycling Deal etc..) but make sure you check the arm to arm measurement or try them on before you buy. Hand washing only takes a few minutes and they dry pretty quickly. I certainly would'nt wear them day after day without washing them

Re: Cycling hygene
I am never going to buy second hand clothing. Gross.
Re: Cycling hygene
Like others have mentioned, the Cell jersey's are great for commuting. I just keep an eye out for their sales, often get them in the $10-$15 range. They're not super high quality or anything like that, but they've got elastic were you need it and they're long in the back, which is pretty much all you need to the regular commute. Mine get tossed in the wash with everything else, and they're still holding up fine after being worn probably 2 days per week for the past year. I find they can get a bit manky after a while, even with regular washing, so I just chuck them in a bucket of napisan/water for a day and then toss in the regular wash.
Though watch out for their Pacer jersey. It's very lightweight, which is awesome, but the white section is also pretty much see-through, especially when it gets wet. Think wet t-shirt style see-through. I just make sure that those jerseys get worn with bib knicks and it's all good.

I'm in the other camp, don't wash nearly enough, same jersey for a week in winter, a couple of days for summer, but I always ensure that they are well dried after wearing. Its the manky undried sweat that causes the nasty problems. There is a drying room at work, then hung up at home. If its been left on the floor, time for a new one.
EDIT: Gloves don't get washed, they tend to fall apart or shrivel up and die in the wash by the time they get into the machine. But again - always dried.

What is Cell?
Re: Cycling hygene
Cell Bikes - good cheap Australian online (and retail) store.
I wear the same gear both ways for my commute but jersey/knicks/socks/headsweat(s?) are washed after each day's riding. I have tonnes of cheap knicks and jerseys I've picked up a couple at a time specifically for commuting. All sub-$20 (occasionally up to $30 if I'm desperate) items and all good enough quality for me.

Re: Cycling hygene
Send me a PM with your address. I have a summer jersey and some bib shorts that you may have for free.
Haven't worn them for quite awhile, better off being used by you.
Re: Cycling hygene
Why not? Once it's washed it's clean and all traces of the other person are gone.
I find ebay invaluable for second hand cycling clothesn on a budget.
Re: Cycling hygene
A few years ago I started wearing undershirts all year round, they don't cause overheating, in fact help prevent it. I use Craft branded ones. The wicking pulls the moisture away from your body then it cools in the wind almost immediately. They don't do a whole lot to help keep the jersey clean though.
Re: Cycling hygene
[quote="othy"] I use Craft branded ones... [quote]
+1 I got a few Craft sleevless a few weeks ago have been finding them to be terrific, hottest it's gotten on a ride for me has been probably about 25degrees which isn't all that hot but I am definitely becoming a convert to wearing summer base layers.
Re: Cycling hygene
I was my cycling shirt, bibs, warmers, socks, halo band after each day (I ride morning and evening of the same day). Gloves and jackets gets washed after about two or three days.
Even jumping into used bibs and shirt in the evening kinda grosses me out

Re: Cycling hygene
Agree. Nothing gross about wearing used jerseys but I draw the line at used underpants
Re: Cycling hygene
*shudders* Even on my early morning rides it is above 25 degrees and I am sweating, there is no way I could wear anything other than gloves more than once. I have a few jerseys that I rotate, but only one pair of nicks at the moment. Luckily this hot weather also means things dry quickly outside, so it's easy to wash and wear the next day.

In the otherworldly expanses of Southern Patagonia, daybreak reaches the charming village of Fitz Roy with a few surprises in stow. "Multicolored Casino," the popular game show televised out of the provincial capital San Julian, has selected Fitz Roy's own Maria Flores as the next contestant to appear on its live telecast. On the other side of the town, Don Justo, proprietor of Fitz Roy's popular grocery store, California, has just discovered that his long-lost friend Badface has surfaced, alive and well, in San Julian. And, finally, Fitz Roy's favorite traveling salesman, Roberto, who hits a slight snafu in his quest to impress his most beloved customer, is on the verge of reaching San Julian himself, where the woman of his dream awaits. About a day's journey from Fitz Roy, nothing is going to stop Maria, Don Justo or Roberto from reaching San Julian, where Maria has been promised fame, Robert foresees love and Don Justo seeks redemption. But, getting there is no small task. With her little baby in tow, Maria decides to hop on the bus, a little nervous about the journey ahead, but unwilling to let her chance to star on "Multicolored Casino" slip away. For Don Justo, the journey to be reunited with his old friend promises to be even more challenging, as he hits the road, thumb raised, trusting that the truckers he's met through the years will stop to offer him a lift. In Roberto's case, getting to San Julian isn't the problem--it's getting there by surprise, with a heartwarming gift that he hopes will make a favorable impression on his secret love.

Governors State University has always been an exciting place – where big ideas live. Our future is full of plans that will keep building on that excitement and on those ideas.
Click here for the full Strategy 2015 Document.
One of our biggest ideas – becoming a four-year university – is close to reality. In the fall of 2014 our first freshman class will become part of our learning community. This will be an exceptional year for the entering class. They will share three study themes – Civic Engagement, Global Citizenship and Sustainability – with courses connected across colleges and departments.Our entering freshmen will have the opportunity to live in GSU's first on-campus residence, Prairie Place, along with fellow students in both undergraduate and graduate programs. They'll find a living space designed for the future of college education. With options in living arrangements and access to in-residence meetings and learning spaces, they'll find a home that enriches their college experience. We keep expanding the offerings of GSU to include new majors, new minors, new ways to help our students prepare for their own futures and the changing world. New this year are bachelor's degree programs in Economics, Political Science, Theatre and Performance Studies as well as a master's degree in School Psychology.In our newly renovated 60,000 square foot science wing, GSU students get hands-on experience using state-of-the-market equipment. This redesign and building of our labs and classrooms is the result of a long-term plan and a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Renault has unveiled the most hardcore RenaultSport Megane yet, the Trophy-R, and celebrated in style: by setting a new lap record at the Nurburgring. James will not be happy.
The 'Ring has a new FWD record…
And it's the Megane RenaultSport 275 Trophy-R in 7'54.36". Not bad for a "family hatch"
The FWD battle has hotted up in recent times. The Trophy-R lapped the German track in a total time of 7min 54secs, smashing the previous front-wheel drive record of 7m58s set by a Seat Leon Cupra. Not half bad for a "family hatch", albeit one that costs almost £10,000 more than the Leon.
And let's face it, this new Trophy-R isn't really a family hatch anymore - it doesn't have any rear seats for starters. Renault has put the Megane on the most extreme weight loss regime since Christian Bale slimmed down for the Machinist. There's no rear windscreen wiper – saving one whole kilogram – no radio, no air con, no noise insulation, and the wheels are lighter, as are the seats. All in, the Trophy-R is nearly 100kg lighter than the normal Megane RS, no slouch itself.
But that's not all. Power from the 2.0-litre turbo engine has been increased to 271bhp, torque remains at 266lb ft, and it's been fitted with a titanium Akrapovic exhaust (saving yet more weight). There are adjustable Ohlins dampers – you can tweak them from inside the cabin – as well as Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tyres.
Safe to say that all this is squarely aimed at the track day enthusiast. Like the Toyota GT86, there's even enough room in the boot for four spare tyres, and you can get special wheel covers so you don't get the boot mucky.
None of this comes cheap, though, and as ever with these sort of track day specials, Renault charges more for less. The Trophy-R is £36,430, a steep increase of £7,500 on the normal Trophy. Good value for a record-breaker?

It has been a busy week for East Oktibbeha County Volunteer firefighters, with the latest incident coming in the form of a motorcycle fire Thursday.
Around mid-morning Thursday, firefighters were called to East Lee Boulevard Thursday morning on the vehicle blaze. The motorcycle caught fire while it was parked, and there were no injuries.
On Wednesday, a blaze in a one-bedroom apartment off Blackjack Road left fire damage to the kitchen and smoke damage to the unit, said Greg Ball, chief of the East Oktibbeha Volunteer Fire Department. The call came in around 2:15 p.m. as a structure fire, Ball said.
The fire took place at University Village off the intersection of Blackjack and Muirfield roads.
"After we got in route, we were informed that smoke and flames were visible. At that time, we requested back up from Bell Schoolhouse and District 5," Ball said. He says that upon his arrival, he found that the Sheriff's Department was on scene.
Deputy Scott Helms used an extinguisher on the stove and hood and put out the blaze, Ball said. East Oktibbeha firefighters vented the building of smoke and removed debris.
The kitchen cabinets, stove and vented hood were destroyed; smoke damage remained throughout the apartment. No other units damaged. He said this was a grease fire.
No one was injured and the apartment's occupant was on the only one at the apartment time of the fire, Ball said.
He said fire officials urge people to become familiar with fire extinguisher use and keep smoke detector batteries in place and checked frequently.
Earlier this week, East Oktibbeha firefighters answered a call for a car fire at the Pointe apartments around 4 a.m. Monday to find a vehicle fully engulfed in flames, with the blaze spreading to nearby parked cars and encroaching on one of the apartment buildings.
Siding on the building melted and the blaze generated a great deal of smoke, blocking the view of the path of the heat and smoke.
County firefighters called the Starkville Fire Department to bring in their aerial platform as smoke emitted from the two-story building's eaves.
Fire officials inspected the upper wall and roof areas to make sure no fire moved behind the walls.
Two buildings were evacuated, with residents allowed to return once officials determined the blaze did not make its way into the building.
East Oktibbeha firefighters also responded to a separate car fire at Chadwick Apartments off Lee Boulevard Sunday. No injuries were reported in that fire.

I think we're just used to Kirby - for many his covers are a part of the Discworld and anything looks bland compared to them.
But I have to agree with stripy_tie. The black covers have are just as charming, especially in regards to the Death books. The fact I can imagine them on a shel somewhere in Death's domain says enough. I'd love to have those five (Mort - Thief of Time).
I'm also a big fan of the new Tiffany covers. I love seeing Tiffany with the different witches, the 4 colours/elements, the little details... Better than the originals.
Anyway, I like all the UK covers. US on the other hand... blergh.

Block Statue of the Son of Tita
Developed in the beginning of Dynasty 12, the block statue was probably the most significant and long-lasting artistic innovation of its time. The form did not prove immediately popular—only 56 Middle Kingdom examples are known—but in each succeeding period it became more common. Scholars have identified 179 surviving pieces from the New Kingdom (Dynasties 18–20). By the Late Period (Dynasties 26–31), block statues were the most prevalent sculptural type. Nearly one thousand examples are known.

No Q, not always. The vast majority of parents who, by some accident of biology, find themselves holding a brand new tiny human being for the very first time actually are prepared to give that little one their very best shot at a life in which they can fulfill their greatest potential. At that moment of introduction they find a ferocious love inside themselves for their child that they never imagined it was possible to feel. Love that would even kill to protect from outside harm. And, what is more, the majority of parents in the lands where you and I live, Q, do their best to be GOOD ENOUGH parents. They will never be perfect....but who is?
I'm putting the case of the 'good enough' parent today because it was on this day 25 years ago that I pushed into the world the beautiful, wonderful little entity who is my daughter......currently out at the pub with her best friend

Ed Chamberlin
Sky Sports Presenter & Columnist @skysports_ed
Let battle commence
City v United, Sprinter Sacre v Sanctuaire... Ed Chamberlin previews the weekend's sporting duels.
Last Updated: 07/12/12 11:54am
Only one place to start this week: Sunday's Manchester derby.
Finally, after all the drama on the final day of last season and the early skirmishes of the new campaign, the two best sides in the country go head-to-head.
The betting suggests it's already a two-horse race for the title with Manchester United odds-on with Sky Bet for the first time this season at 5/6 and City a 13/10 chance. In the space of a few weeks, Chelsea have gone from 7/2 to 14/1.
Sky Bet have the champions as their favourites to come out on top on Sunday at 5/4, with United a 2/1 chance and the draw at 5/2. The draw price is the one that interests me as I'm sure United would be pleased with that result.
A stalemate would not be a disaster for City either, but they cannot afford to fall six points behind Sir Alex Ferguson's side. Just like last season, the derby is going to be a pivotal occasion in the title race.
Sky Bet's Premier League Title odds: 5/6 Man Utd, 13/10 Man City, 14/1 Chelsea, 66/1 bar
Both sides go in to the game with questions to answer.
City are unbeaten in the league (if they avoid defeat on Sunday they will equal the club record of 22 league matches unbeaten) but haven't hit the heights of last season, which saw them do the double over United.
They are looking to win three successive League games against United for the first time since 1970, and the big occasion brought out the best in Roberto Mancini's team last term.
It hasn't in the Champions League this time around, though, and it will be interesting to see if a Manchester derby does.
United just keep on falling behind in games and conceding goals - 32 in total now this season. They have conceded first in 10 Premier League matches going on to win seven and lose three, while last season United failed to win any of the eight games when conceding first.
A set piece cost them in this fixture last season and has been their Achilles heel again, particularly against Reading in that crazy 34 minutes last weekend. Sir Alex's priority is likely to be to tighten up at the back and also have more presence in the centre of midfield.
Yaya Toure overpowered them at times last season and David Silva found space to unlock the back four at Old Trafford, so City will be hoping Silva is fit for Sunday; the team news along with tactics are going to be crucial.
We'll be live on Super Sunday from 1pm on Sky Sports HD1 and in Sky 3D, but after the big game at the Etihad we have West Ham (9/5) v Liverpool (7/5) live from Upton Park.
The home side won both games last season, scoring three goals in each, and West Ham's 3-1 win at Upton Park in February ended a run of three straight defeats and seven games without a win against Liverpool. However, the Hammers have not won back-to-back league games against Liverpool since 1964.
Contrasting fortunes for these two so far this season and you'd have got long odds at the start of the season on West Ham being in the top half all season, whilst Liverpool have always been in bottom half.
The two big worries for Liverpool this weekend are that they haven't yet won any of the eight matches that have followed a Europa League game this season (D5, L3) and the absence of Luiz Suarez. It can't have been easy for the Sky Bet odds compilers to price up Liverpool's goalscorer market with Suarez suspended on Sunday.
They have Jonjo Shelvey heading a wide open list at 13/2 and Raheem Sterling, who turns 18 on Saturday, next in at 7/1. This will be a real test for Brendan Rogers' side without their talisman and at Upton Park, which will be jumping again after that brilliant second half against Chelsea.
That 45 minutes will have really stung Rafa Benitez. Can he get his first league win at Sunderland on Saturday? Sky Bet have his team at 4/5 and the omens are good as Chelsea have had the sign over Sunderland for years, winning 14 of the last 15 Premier League meetings.
Sunderland's only win in the last 11 years was the 3-0 at Stamford Bridge in November 2010. Chelsea have scored 25 goals in the the last eight games against the Black Cats and most importantly have won on their last seven visits to the Stadium of Light, scoring 12 goals in the last four.
Other things to look out for in the Premier League this weekend: Tottenham did us a big favour on Saturday winning at Fulham at 11/8. They are 11/4 to follow up at Everton, where they have won more Premier League points (30) than they have at any other ground.
Stoke (15/8) are in great form but their last top division win at Aston Villa came 47 years ago, while Fulham have won five of the last six meetings with Newcastle at Craven Cottage, including each of the last three.
Horse racing
Forget the Open Meeting at Cheltenham or the Hennessy at Newbury, this is going to be - weather permitting - the best weekend of jumps racing so far this season.
There's action over the Grand National fences at Aintree, Sprinter Sacre v Sanctuaire, plus some top novice chasers clashing at Sandown and the best quality field we've seen this term in the John Durkan Memorial Chase.
Ireland's two leading Gold Cup candidates, Sir Des Champs and Flemenstar, are set to meet with last year's winner Rubi Light and the top class Quito de la Roque and Bog Warrior also in the mix, making it the race of the season so far.
On a weekend of sporting heavyweight clashes, the best head-to-head of the new campaign is over at Sandown with the eagerly-anticipated clash between Sprinter Sacre and Sanctuaire, with the sub plot provided by the two rivals to be champion trainer, Nicky Henderson v Paul Nicholls.
It's going to be an intriguing tactical battle with Sanctuaire going from the front, stalked by Sprinter Sacre. Can Nicholls' charge can get last season's Arkle winner off the bridle and how will Sprinter Sacre react if he comes under pressure?
Jumping is going to be all important, and Sky Bet have Sprinter Sacre at 1/2 and Sanctuaire at 9/4 and I can't wait to see who comes out on top.
The undercard isn't bad, either, as top novices Captain Conan, Overturn and Hinterland could meet in the Henry VIII Novices' Chase. The winner is likely to leap to the forefront of the Arkle betting but would do well to match Arvika Legionniere (7/1), who I think put up the best performance by a novice chaser this season at Fairyhouse last weekend.
Finally, keep a close eye out for the horse AP McCoy recommended to us as his horse to follow for the season, My Tent or Yours, who could re-appear in the opener at Sandown on Saturday. Another big player on a sensational day's racing.
