<p>While you might think a person shaking her phone or tablet from side to side is having issues with the device, she might actually be playing a game that has her mimicking a steering wheel motion as part of a language lesson.</p>
<p>The game <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nano-nano-learn-spanish/id917320724?mt=8">Nano Nano</a> for mobile devices, created by two Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ graduate students and released last week, is the first app to incorporate gesturing with language learning -- for good reason.</p>

<p>The University of Colorado Law School is now accepting applications for the newly established, one-year, 28-credit Master of Studies in Law degree. This program will enable students who hold at least an undergraduate degree to obtain legal training short of a full Juris Doctor.</p>

<p>Local governments should use bike-to-work days to find out from participants why they’re attending and -- more importantly -- what prevents them from biking more often, according to the study.</p>

<p>Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ researchers will update NASA officials next week on a revolutionary space telescope concept selected by the agency for study last June that could provide images up to 1,000 times sharper than the Hubble Space Telescope.</p>

<p>Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ Distinguished Professor W. Carl Lineberger was honored today by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) for his extraordinary scientific achievements.</p>

<p>Based on continued growth in fourth-quarter new business filings in Colorado -- including entity renewals, trademarks and trade name registrations -- employment in the state is projected to expand through the first and second quarters of 2015, according to a Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ report released today by Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams.</p>
