Weatherford Promises More University Funding at Forum in Orlando
January 30, 2013 | WMFE - Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford is vowing to change the state's public higher education system Speaking Tuesday at a forum sponsored by the Orlando Sentinel, the State House Speaker says the system can't continue on the same path it's on now.
Weatherford vowed to change how Florida's public universities do business. He spoke about the need to keep tuition rates low but also pushed for letting some of the universities, such as the University of Florida and Florida State University, break free of the state's tuition caps.
"Tuition should be cheap if you're going to a state or community college. It should be cheap if you're going to a non-research based institution." Weatherford said. "But it should not be cheap if you're going to a research university in the state of Florida. There's a difference."
Those words echo a proposal launched last year that would have established those schools as "pre-eminent" universities and recognizing their capacity for bringing in research money.
The concept of pre-eminence has also emerged as a major policy point established by a task force created by Governor Rick Scott to look at higher education reform.
Weatherford also promised to restore the $300 million dollars lawmakers cut from university reserve accounts.
"I thought it was wrong, I thought it was at the last minute. I thought that we punished the people who saved the money." Weatherford said. "If it was a business out there, we'd want them to have reserves, and we took it and I didn't think that was right. But the legislature's going to restore that money this year. You'll see in our budget that $300 million dollars will be restored."
Weatherford says he hopes the state will be able to add even more money to higher education. Meanwhile, the speaker is also pushing for more online degree programs and possibly an online university along with creating a performance-based funding structure for schools. Weatherford was part of a panel conversation on the future of higher education hosted by the Orlando Sentinel.

Jony Ive once again rumored to be painting a kinder, flatter iOS 7 interface
We've been hearing about Jony Ive taking a sand blaster to iOS 7 -- removing a lot of the heavier textures, gradients, shadows, and skeuomorphs that built up at Apple under Steve Jobs and Scott Forstall. According to what I've been hearing), iOS 7 will make fans of the richer design style cry. 9to5Mac's ace reporter, Mark Gurman, calls it Windows Phone-like, and what's more:
In addition to losing the complex interface design characteristics from earlier versions of iOS, Apple has been discussing and testing ways to add more 'glance-able' information and system options panels, like Notification Center, to the software. While it is still uncertain if Apple will end up including such new functionality in iOS 7, or how the Company will implement the potential addition, one of the early ideas was to implement the new panels via swipes from the left and right side of an iOS device's display. This would be similar to the gesture on Apple's Mac trackpads for accessing Notification Center in Mountain Lion, but what, specifically, the iOS gesture could access is uncertain.
Gurman also says that iOS 7 is code-named Innsbruck, and includes a full set of newly redesigned icons for the built-in Apple apps. As that suggests, and as I've heard as well, the base Springboard launcher and its grid aren't going anywhere any time soon, so those hoping for an entirely new Home screen experience will be disappointed. That's not to say there won't be, as Gurman alludes to in his post, that Apple won't introduce new or modified sliding panels like Notification Center to add to or enhance functionality, but when you hit Home, currently, you still see Home. That's important for the hundreds of millions of existing iOS users.
What it means for developers and designers, however, will depend on how they've built their apps to date. Those who have stuck to UIKit will get a lot of the new look, including all the new stock interface elements, "for free". Those who have replicated UIKit elements in order to change them more substantially will have to re-replicate them. Those who have completely customized their interfaces, and who want to fit the new aesthetic, will have a lot of graphics to redraw come WWDC.
Ironically, Windows Phone and Android went flat to overcome performance issues. Compositing, masking, and shadow effects takes cycles. Flat interface can be thrown around much faster. Yet, because they've done it more recently, and because it stands in stark contrast to the more elaborate 2007-esque iOS interface, it looks "new". Their constraints brought out a cleanness and modernness that became fashionable, and as a result made Apple look decidedly unfashionable.
It'd be tempting to call the move reactionary -- a new look by new management to deal with new tastes in the market -- but for that new management being headed by Jony Ive. Apple's senior vice president of design has tastes that are well known, minimalist and timeless. He values getting everything, every distraction, out of the way until only the essential nature of the object remains. Now we're seeing that vision, Ive's vision, in charge of software for the first time. That it's such a stark contrast, and likely a welcome change for many from the status quo, could simply be a bonus.
Check out Gurman's article for more on iOS 7's new look, and then come back here and let me know what you think. If Apple goes flat, should they go very flat?

There are 29 comments. Add yours.
If the goal is to "modernise" iOS that is great. Flatter icons, change in design language great. But there is NO reason to get rid of the home screen. It would alienate customers.
I still don't get the hate of a little graphical flare. I like the little graphics and animations but each to his own I guess.
Whatever Apple do, they'll make it look great! So I'm all for it :-)
Why do we want to go with a DULL UI? I don't get people with not liking something that looks nice with the extra eye candy? Why are we as a society becoming more and more dull, even though we have the technology now to be able to enjoy the extras without any lag? I hated the plane look of Android with no interesting animations within the OS itself, but now everyone wants to back track into the past and make it all look 2D again like it did when graphics first started being used in computers. WHAT GIVES? Just like they all want bigger phones that is just as big as the first cell phone and head phones that covers the whole side of their head. Hard to move forward when we keep going back to the past for designs.
Metro would drive me away.
The shine and rendering of menus and lack of flatness is why i went with ios and not the original android. I'm already bailing on windows 8 cause i hate that interface. I hope it is untrue.
Weird, apples minimilism, brushed metal, greys, the shine squared right with what i thought was attractive. But in the past year or two there seem to be some other changes that i honestly don't get, that aren't my style. Like art i'd never buy. Like the green of game center, the podcast app reels. But as for menus and buttons and stuff, i don't like the flat look of microsoft.
Ugh, this definitely makes me sad as I loved the skeuomorphic elements of ios (although I didn't know what they were called I just knew I liked it). But Sir Jony does wonderful work, so I'm going to be hopefully optimistic.
You would have been mesmerized by Microsoft Bob.
I believe it even had a fireplace.
Microsoft Bob was way ahead of it/his time. It would be interesting to see what it could really do if it was created and released with todays computer technology.
About a flatter iOS UI I feel that Notification Centre is fine with its background, but do not flatten everything so it is too flat. I currently use a completely black background picture and looking in folders and NC it seems fine. Hopefully Ive and his team can find a happy-medium between 3D-esque and 2D. And bringing back the reel to reel for audio only podcasts in the podcasts app is a right step(My Opinion).
The happiest medium would be to simply allow the user to choose which settings they want to see.
A-fuckin-men dude. If i could say one thing to this Ive guy, it would be to let the user effing pick. I hate flat. but some people might not. to me it looks like my phone just went low-tech. to others it might be easier to read. SO JUST LET IT BE AN OPTION IN SETTINGS
If you want to see what *really* flat UIs look like, check out the music interfaces from (a) Live from Ableton.com , the Figure app for iOS from properllerheads.se, and the music plugins from valhalladsp.com
off with the shadows, flares, gradients and skeuomorphism :]
nothing wrong with flatter, and that certainly doesnt mean it has a windows look or anything else. flatter is just another style that can have many of its own graphical flairs with a simpler, cleaner look.
instead of text bubbles, maybe we can get some foggy/blurry semi transparent backdrops to text. which i enjoy more. i doubt it will look like the mess that windows is. so im not worried. just excited to see what it turns out like.
Skeuomorphism must die.
In a shiny, faux 3d dumpster fire, with realistic embers and smoke.
All iOS really needs is a up to the minute weather and a small toggle widget or added to the notification center.. that is all
it will be great to change a few things, making a better design, but they should not delete anything that ios already have, instead, they should add more functions and hopefully it will make a better experience on ios
I am new to ios and while I do like some of the more simplistic designs popular today (pure google is beautifull) and think apple is in for a redesign, I like the 3d elements used in ios. The realism of some of the apps gives each app a different look which makes the design less stale. There is also not really anyone NOT using the bare simple look so apple is different in that respect. I think apple should balance both simple and 3d and make some of the realistic designs more tastefull rather than eliminating them altogether. Otherwise designs between android, apple, Ubuntu, blackberry and Firefox will become harder to distinguish. I may have to post up some mockups in the forum of what i means :-)
Now that it's pretty obvious we're getting a new UI desgin all the skeuomorphic fans crawl out of the woodwork to complain.
No one wants to see windows 8 colored tiles anywhere near our beautiful iMac screens....period. Mininalism an ugly lazy design, plain and simple. Apple skeumophic and realistic designs are what separates Apple from the rest. Can it be done more tastefully and subdued, maybe, yes I think so. So yes, I, will crawl out of the woodwork to voice my opinion against completely lame design ideal of minimalism. Skuemophism and realism does make it easier to tell what going on the screen too.
"You went full flat, man. Never go full flat!"
Seriously I was looking forward to flatter design, much like some of the amazing new icon sets floating around the web these days, but never to the extent of full flatness like Windows Phone.
WP copy-cats, start your copy machines... here we go!
Somehow I have this feeling that most people don't really care whether the design is skeuomorphic or flat, they just want to see something new and shiny...
I'd like to see some design changes, icon changes and some other additions. But I don't want the iOS to give up on skeuomorphism all together!
I don't think the skeuomorphism should necessarily be eliminated entirely, as some of it can look good and even be useful in some cases. I just think it needs to be toned down a bit; we could do without the fake textures and stuff like that. I'm looking forward to seeing what direction Mr. Ive is going to go with iOS and its design.
Considering how jerky iOS 3-6 have been on the 3g and 4g iPods, this may be a welcome change here.
Though the best option would be to allow personalization options for the user to decide what they want to see.
Can some one show the difference of what this would look like. It's like you are only talking to the tech heads.
It's about time they put some iOS interface style of the day, because it is always the same since the beginning, and from a list of applicable asked in bulk, there's really nothing.
This is one of the reasons that made me leave my iphone 5
Sounds like it's time for a Galaxy S4. If Apple is going to emulate Windows 8, what's the point?

We are named for the coldest, most unforgiving side of a mountain. We have helped explorers reach the most unfathomable heights of the Himalayas. But The North Face legend begins, ironically, on a beach. More precisely, San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, at an altitude of only 150 feet above sea level. It was here in 1966 that two hiking enthusiasts resolved to follow their passions and founded a small mountaineering retail store.
Soon thereafter, that little shop became known as The North Face, a retailer of high-performance climbing and backpacking equipment. In 1968, The North Face moved to the other side of San Francisco Bay, to the unbridled possibilities of the Berkeley area, and began designing and manufacturing its own brand of technical mountaineering apparel and equipment.
Through the 1960s, The North Face brand cherished a following amongst avid outdoor athletes and began sponsoring expeditions to some of the most far-flung, still largely untouched corners of the globe. This launched a proud tradition which continues in full force today and constantly reinforces The North Face mantra, Never Stop Exploring.
By the early 1980s, The North Face was taking exploration to the outer limits of the ski world, adding extreme skiwear to the product offering. These were the days of pastels, neons, hair dye, and mohawks; they laid the groundwork for today's free-spirited snowsports athletes. By the end of the decade, The North Face became the only supplier in the United States to offer a comprehensive collection of high-performance outerwear, skiwear, sleeping bags, packs and tents.
The 1990s ushered in an era during which The North Face further broadened the outdoor world it helps athletes to explore. The decade saw our debut in the sportswear market with the launch of Tekware, an innovative collection designed to provide rock climbers, backpackers, hikers, trail runners, and outdoor enthusiasts with the ultimate fit and function. The North Face half dome logo began to appear with greater regularity on ultramarathon courses, high-country trails, and big walls. And, as the calendar clicked toward a new millennium, The North Face launched its own line of trekking and trail-running shoes to ultimately address the head-to-toe needs of those always striving for the next horizon.
Now, more than 40 years after its humble grand opening, The North Face delivers an extensive line of performance apparel, equipment, and footwear. We push the boundaries of innovation so that you can push the boundaries of exploration. We remain deeply proud to be the first choice of the world's most accomplished climbers, mountaineers, extreme skiers, snowboarders, endurance runners, and explorers.
There's little telling what the next 40 years hold for us. However, there is one bedrock certainty: The North Face will maintain an unwavering commitment to pushing the limits of design, so that you can push your limits outdoors. Never Stop Exploring.

These adorable animals are an Australian native. But apparently they have become a bit hit in the US. Problem is people do not know how to look after them properly and are feeding them crap.

When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
Sugar gliders have been pretty popular for many many years here in the US. And like any wild animal they require special care and attention. The little hedgehogs are pretty popular too. My husband and had a friend who rescued abandoned wild pets and she has nursed many a sugar glider back to health and adopted them out, but sadly many died too.
Without fear you cannot find courage
Mojito - thanks for that. Glad your friend rescues them.
I have always liked them. When I was a kid I had a book about a sugar glider, which was part of a whole series about different Australian native animals. Really liked those books.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
I've never liked the idea of people owning non-traditional animals for pets. A few years ago prairaie dogs were big. So were hedgehodges. I don't know why we can't have law against owning exotic animals. No one needs to own any of these. Krirsti Alley is raising magadascar lemurs to sell as pets. I think that's just plain wrong. She should be more concern with losing weight and just leave these animals alone.
Sugar gliders were big when I was in high school (10 years ago). Girls would carry them in their shirt pockets at school (they weren't supposed to). Apparently they were an animal that needs "attachment" to their caregiver, so they couldn't be left at home.
I always wonder what happened to them when the owner got bored of them.
Who in their right mind feeds hotdogs and soda to a pet of any variety? I don't give my dogs that kind of crap! People are stupid.
And this is just one example of 100s of ways that many people treat pets like a trendy pair of shoes they wear for a bit while it's popular and then toss into the back of the closet and forget. The number of idiots who abandon dogs on the street so they can go on vacation is unreal.
One SIL of mine fancies herself a pet lover, but I've long since lost track of all the pets that have come into her house of animal death, never to leave. The latest was a "friendly" squirrel that appeared at a family bbq. I think it took her less than a week to kill the feral animal indoors.
I'm not sure why a bite of hot dog would be a problem if given as a little treat. I actually recall chopped hot dog bits being recommended as a training food and another trainer recommending that, on hot days, frozen hot dogs (cut in half) would be nice treats for my dogs. Obviously, they would be treats to be used sparingly and not in place of the dog's regular food.
I don't defend soda. That makes no sense to me.
Mini/exotic pets have been popular for a while here. In the 80s-90s there was a real problem in New York City with people getting Vietnamese Pot Bellied Pigs and thinking that they would stay small. When they grew, people were dumping them in the park or under one of the bridges and there were herds of them that animal control had to relocate. Totally irresponsible.
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
Soda, very dumb. Hot dogs, for a dog, not a huge deal as long as it's a small piece on rare occasion. I mean have you looked at what's in dog food? A hot dog isn't that bad.... lol
But yes certain animals do not need any of that.
I don't feed my dogs dog food, and they've been a lot healthier, happier, active, and have shinier coats without it. Dogs were never meant to eat corn, various starches, beaks, or the by products of by products. They get organic fish, beef, veggies, and occasionally brown rice (for some reason, they loooooove brown rice, but I don't give it to them often).
No more digestive problems. One of them is epileptic--hasn't had a seizure since I started them all on "people" food. Plus, it's cheaper. The cost of dog food is unreal. If I'm going to spend that much, I might as well give them better quality people food. Plus, many--not all, but many--vets are paid in some way to recommend certain brands of dog foods.
"The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." Olympic Charter
My brother does that and his dog is healthy and he saves money. A lot of people recommend giving people quality meat/rice/veggies to dogs instead of commerical dog food, but I don't think hot dogs are what they have in mind as a staple because they are high in fat. I would guess that little bits are fine for training treats. Of course, one big problem is that people feed their pets pet food and then let them snack too much on people food under the table, leading to overweight animals with all kinds of digestive issues. Lady across the street walks (drags) this beagle who makes me want to cry - he is almost as wide as he is long. And obviously so uncomfortable. There is nothing cute about watching a dog drink soda or eat a bag of potato chips.
Of course, the original article is about giving people junk food to a small animal that thrives on insects.
Matry - what time is dinner, sounds good!
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
I've been seriously considering just feeding my dog people food. She eats good dog food now, that has meat as the main ingredient, but I still wonder about the whole freeze dried aspect. Plus it has to be extremely boring for her.
I thought this was part of the state fair food thread
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
I thought there was some kind of cereal recall.
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
If you don't like the ingredients in mainstream commercial dog or cat foods, check out Natura products. They are made with whole food ingredients in a plant that has met all of the most stringent certification standards for making food for human consumption. And some are certified organic.
Website: http://www.naturapet.com/
My husband works there.
Maybe once I finally clean up that old meat grinder I have (random freebie from a Craigslist post when I bought something else ), I'll grind up some real meat for the kitty food.
Go get Natura foods! My resident expert tells me that they do not bring corn into the plant at all which would indicate that it is not an ingredient in any of the food. You can check the ingredients on the FAQ page at the website.

New album on line! Free listen to and download.
I've always enjoyed the contrast of noise to melody, chaos to structure. I feel that these components highlight the strengths of the other and that the beauty of harmony is even greater when emerging from the din of discordant noise.

When it comes to pit stops, our crews have to be prepared for more than just changing tires, making adjustments and adding fuel to Jimmie Johnson's No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet or Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevrolet on race day. If one of our teams is involved in an incident, our over-the-wall teams have to be ready to step up and handle the repairs on pit road.

Color Workshop for Artists
3 sessions, 15 hours, SA, 9 AM-2 PM
PT135, Feb. 8-22
$275, Peter Brown
Color is one of the most perplexing aspects of the visual arts. How does an artist or designer make sense of such complex information, and then actually use it?

By using straightforward language, easily understood illustrations, and hands-on exercises, this workshop will explain the logic behind the theory and how it can be directly applied in making artwork. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the applications are discussed at length, so that the student gains a solid knowledge base that provides viable color options.
