Those damn big holes!
Hello everybody. It's me again...
I am still on the quest for big holes, as I am still not getting much result.
I had one bread which I proudly posted in here, but I found that further into the bread, there really was no big holes.
So any suggestions for what I could try?
I have consistently worked with 75% hydration.I have tried varying salt amount.
- with and without salt.
- AP flour, bread flour, and all brands of flour I could find.
- kneading on machine for a short while for underdeveloped gluten, for 5-10 minutes, and for over 20 minutes until I got "spiderwebs" of gluten on the mixing tool.
- 3 hours Autolyse. Autolyse with slap and fold, and 15-20 minutes of slap and fold.
- leaving it to ferment with 3 stretch and folds, or with no stretch and folds.
- Tried focusing on trapping air in the dough when kneading (still the one I believe in the most)
- with poolish, cold leavened with yeast, sourdough, slow rise with yeast.
- baked freestanding on baking steel. Moved to clay pot with baking paper sling, baked with nothing but a preheated oven, baked non-preheated, baked with pizastone on top rack, baking steel, and steam from 2 bowls with lava rocks.
I get fairly decent oven spring, and I get a fairly airy loaf with a nice soft crumb, but it is a irritatingly perfect SANDWITH LOAF, and absolutely not even close to being anywhere in the ballpark of that nice rustique large-holed open crumb I am looking for :(
So a last little desperate attempt.. Any suggestions for what I could try?

As someone who has a history of dating the "strong, silent" type, I can see the appeal. As I'd sit there yammering on about something and the guy sat there smiling, nodding his head, and occasionally grunting, I'd think, He finds my natterings so fascinating. But after awhile, it would breed a certain amount of resentment. Here we go again, all of the conversation is up to me! But apparently I should cut the quiet guys some slack. Apparently they're not just being quiet to confound you or to not say anything that might get them into trouble -- they're being quiet because of their genes.
Researchers have discovered that a certain gene, called FOXP2, is responsible for vocalizations, and girls have 30 percent more of this gene's protein than boys do. Granted, they only studied 10 brains of children ages 4-5, but let's just go with it anyway ... because it makes sense. Many guys don't SPEAK. And to think they always blamed it on me: Kiri, I can't get a word in edgewise, blah blah blah. Sure, dude. It's really just your DNA.
Hey, this stuff is backed up by lots of science. One study found that women emit 20,000 words a day compared to a guy's 7,000. Really? Are there guys who speak 7,000 words a day? Haven't met them. Girls also learn to speak and read faster than boys.
Being with a silent guy has its advantages -- for one, you don't have to listen to him go on about baseball or video games or whatever else. But it's got its downsides. Like never really knowing what he's thinking or feeling. And you find yourself saying things like, "Well, are you going to explain that? Hello??? Are you there???"
One friend of mine said her boyfriend was so quiet that she'd make a list of topics to talk about before he called her, because otherwise the conversation would have gone like this: " ... "
I know not all guys are like this. Surely, Robin Williams has as much FOXP2 protein as 50 female gabbers. But it really sheds some light on why so many men will respond to your long diatribes with "Huh" or "Hmm" or "Shaddup woman."
Does it frustrate you when your guy doesn't talk much and what do you do about it?

Art Bryson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 74 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
AB Computer Solutions LLC
We have been in business for 4 years now and looking for a new image. I was using teal and purple colors but I am not in love with them. I live in a town that is located on the water, Marine City. I can't think of a nautical theme that could be used for a tech logo. Not too thrilled with the sick computer logos.
We fix desktop and laptop computers, hardware/software issues. Networking, wireless and wired. We do home/office calls or in shop work. Just about anything computer related. Most of our customer are not too tech savvy.
I will need it is a Photoshop (PDS) image and also a Jpeg. No graduating colors, makes it hard for embroidery. Try to keep it to 3 or 4 colors top. You can see my really out of date website with our current art work at http://www.abcsolution1.com I know, the site sucks. We used kinda like a sail that I came up with, never really worked for name reconnection.
Have fun with it, don't be afraid to try anything...

Mouse acceleration
There are several ways of setting mouse acceleration:
- by editing xorg configuration files
- the xorg-server-utils package provides two programs that can be used to change those settings from a shell or a script:
- many Desktop Environments provide a configuration GUI for mouse settings. They should be easy to find and use.
Setting mouse acceleration
In xorg configuration
man xorg.conf for details.
Section "InputClass" Identifier "My Mouse" MatchIsPointer "yes" # set the following to 1 1 0 respectively to disable acceleration. Option "AccelerationNumerator" "2" Option "AccelerationDenominator" "1" Option "AccelerationThreshold" "4" EndSection
Section "InputClass" Identifier "My Mouse" MatchIsPointer "yes" # some curved deceleration # Option "AdaptiveDeceleration" "2" # linear deceleration (mouse speed reduction) Option "ConstantDeceleration" "2" EndSection
You can also assign settings to specific hardware by using "MatchProduct", "MatchVendor" and other matches inside class sections.
Using xset
To get the current values, use:
xset q | grep -A 1 Pointer
To set new values, type:
xset m ACCELERATION THRESHOLD
where ACCELERATION defines how many times faster the cursor will move than the default speed, when the cursor moves more than THRESHOLD pixels in a short time. ACCELERATION can be a fraction, so if you want to slow down the mouse you can use 1/2, and if 3 is slightly too fast, but 2 is too slow, you can use 5/2, etc.
To get the default settings back:
xset m default
For more info see
man xset.
To make it permanent, edit xorg configuration (see above) or add commands to xprofile. The latter won't affect speed in a Display Manager.
Using xinput
First, get a list of devices plugged in (ignore any virtual pointers):
xinput list
Take note of the ID. You may also use the full name in commands if the ID is prone to changing.
Get a list of available properties and their current values available for modification with
xinput list-props 9
9 is the ID of the device you wish to use. Or
xinput list-props 'Bobs mouse brand'
Bobs mouse brand is the name of your mouse given by
xinput list
Example, changing the property of
Constant Deceleration to 2:
$ xinput list-props 9 Device 'Bobs mouse brand': Device Enabled (121): 1 Device Accel Profile (240): 0 Device Accel Constant Deceleration (241): 1.000000 Device Accel Adaptive Deceleration (243): 1.000000 Device Accel Velocity Scaling (244): 10.000000 $ xinput --set-prop 'Bobs mouse brand' 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 2
To make it permanent, edit xorg configuration (see above) or add commands to xprofile. The latter won't affect speed in a Display Manager.
Configuration example
You may need to resort to using more than one method to achieve your desired mouse settings. Here's what I did to configure a generic optical mouse:
# First, slow down the default movement speed 3 times so that it's more precise. xinput --set-prop 9 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 3 & # Then, enable acceleration and make it 3 times faster after moving past 6 pixels. xset mouse 3 6 &
Disabling mouse acceleration
Mouse acceleration has changed dramatically in recent X server versions; using
xset to disable acceleration doesn't work as it used to and is not recommended anymore.
Recent changes on
PointerAcceleration can be read here.
To completely disable any sort of acceleration/deceleration, create the following file:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "My Mouse" MatchIsPointer "yes" Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1" Option "AccelerationScheme" "none" EndSection

Everyone who visits Thailand wants to take home some special souvenirs from this unforgettable country. Bangkok offers a large selection of wonderful shops which sell beautiful gift items, from traditionally woven silk to Oriental antiques, authentic Buddha sculptures and elegant wood carvings.
One of the most popular souvenirs are the handmade and hand-painted puppets that are used in Thai puppet shows. These traditional puppets are delicately painted and dressed in refined clothing and accessories, all in miniature details. Watch a wonderful performance with these puppets at the Joe Louis Theatre in the Asiatique, Bangkok's newest 'night-market' along the Chao Phraya River. Theatre visitors can also see how the puppets are painted.
The best souvenirs can be bought directly from the artisans. There are many dedicated artisans in and around Bangkok who create lovely handicrafts; look for silk weavers at Ban Krua Thai Silk, metalworkers at Monk's Bowl Village, goldsmiths at Tang Toh Kang and bronze casters along the road to Wat Suwannaram. The best and most exclusive antique shops are located at the Oriental Plaza, next to the Oriental Hotel. Another favourite shopping destination is the Chatuchak Market, which mainly consists of antique stands.
To purchase the most beautiful hand-woven silk clothing, shawls, bags and accessories, visit one of the Jim Thompson shops in Bangkok. Jim Thompson, an American architect and designer who moved to Thailand after the Second World War, has played an important part in the development of the Thai silk industry. He adapted his silk prints for the Western market, significantly boosting the export of Thai silk. He also offered his employees the opportunity to work from home, allowing them to look after their children and run a household while they worked.
Learn more about his endeavours at the Jim Thompson House. The designer's former home and art gallery is now a museum, composed of 6 traditional teak houses, a shop with beautiful silk collections, a charming restaurant and cosy wine bar. Jim Thompson was awarded the Order of the White Elephant for his contribution to the Thai silk industry. His life history is one of the most popular post-war stories in Asia.

Rihanna Has Unusual Workout Gear
Rihanna is having a great time on vacation, as evidenced by her sexy tweeted pics, but it's not all play. The singer is still sticking to her workout regimen while in Hawaii, even if it means doing it in her bikini.
The 23-year-old has been soaking up the sun since Saturday, and documenting her vacation via Twitter. But in addition to swimming with sharks and paddle boarding, RiRi is getting in plenty of extra cardio, too. Only instead of traditional workout gear, the 'We Found Love' singer is hitting the gym in a white-hot two-piece.
On Wednesday, Rihanna took to Twitter to share a photo of herself on the elliptical, wearing nothing but a string bikini and a pair of shades. Nope, not even a pair of sneakers for this songbird.
The Barbadian beauty has been serious about working on her fitness, with the help of trainer Ary Nunez, who recently told Shape magazine that the singer's regimen includes a variety of exercises.
To get Rihanna's heart pumping, the trainer puts her through a mix of calisthenics, martial arts and dancing, which we know the R&B star has down pat. "We focus on the core muscles, and we do a ton of repetitions," Nunez says. Well, it sure looks like it's paying off.

Most people call it a "sports movie." There's a baseball diamond on the movie poster and there's "field" right there in the title. So why the hell did we waste two hours watching some sort of half-assed fairy tale about a schizophrenic farmer? We haven't felt this betrayed by a movie title since Naked Lunch (it's about a fucking exterminator).
Apparently, Ray Kinsella, played by Kevin Costner, has daddy issues, dementia and absolutely no regard for his family's well being because he destroys his only source of income, his corn field, and constructs a baseball diamond.Fine, we can go along with this, but then the movie takes an inexplicable comedy/science fiction/drama turn. Ghosts appear from corn stalks, James Earl Jones gets kidnapped, the Kinsella family is continuously on the brink of bankruptcy and then there's a subplot about First Amendment rights.
Defining douche-chill moment:
The end of the film goes for the easy tug of the heartstrings when Costner's Ray ask Shoeless Joe Jackson to "have a catch" with him, then calls him "dad." That's the climax of this movie? A fucking game of catch? At least A League of Their Own had the balls to end with an inside the park home run.Vomit-in-the-mouth quote:
Annie Kinsella: "At least he is not a book burner, you Nazi cow," or pretty much anything Amy Madigan says in the movie. Seriously, she's like a shitty-line-generating cyborg.Roll the tape:
If you'll notice, a long, pointless speech is given, Kevin Costner looks bland and ignores the needs of his family, and no one plays baseball. Pretend this clip is just under two hours long and you've duplicated the experience of actually watching the movie.

Delta Dental of North Carolina
( Looking for a different state? )
According to the Surgeon General, 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental-related illnesses in adults, and kids miss approximately 51 million school hours each year due to oral health issues.1 Providing employees and their families with dental insurance can help keep them at work and productive. Preventive dental care can reduce the occurrence of more costly dental issues.
A healthy smile is important – not only to oral health, but for overall health, too. Did you know a dentist can detect more than 120 symptoms of non-dental diseases—including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and osteoporosis—during a routine oral exam?2 A dentist may be the first line of defense in diagnosing health problems that could be more costly in the long run.
Having dental coverage helps members get the care they need to stay healthy. It also can help keep overall health care costs down. After all, good health starts with a healthy smile!

A virtual private network (VPN) is a technology for using the Internet or another intermediate network to connect computers to isolated remote computer networks that would otherwise be inaccessible. A VPN provides security so that traffic sent through the VPN connection stays isolated from other computers on the intermediate network. VPNs can connect individual users to a remote network or connect multiple networks together. For example, users may use a VPN to connect to their work computer terminal from home and access their email, files, images, etc. Through VPNs, users are able to access resources on remote networks, such as files, printers, databases, or internal websites. VPN remote users get the impression of being directly connected to the central network via a point-to-point link.
For this VPN configuration you require the following.
Windows 2012 Standard
Minimum 2 IP addresses (must be in the same subnet)
Select Next
This opens the MMC for Routing and Remote Access
This launches the Setup Wizard
Now that your VPN installation is complete you will need to modify your Windows Firewall to allow the VPN traffic You will need to open the following ports.
You will need to enable users to Dial-in On a standalone server (default) this can be done in the Computer Management MMC, if you are in a domain environment you can do this in the User properties of Active Directory.
Since you don't have a DHCP Server in our VPS Environment you have to add a static address pool.
You may run into some issues with printer and file sharing you can do the following to resolve this issue.

Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris.Why did America have room in its heart for only one hero?One was the Yankees' best loved player, the other was their most valuable. In the summer of 1961, Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle took on Babe Ruth's record, the 1927 single-season 60 home run slam. It would be a summer that no one who loves baseball will ever forget.In 1961, Mickey Mantle is a Yankee favorite. The smiling sun god of the season, a hit with fans and sports writers alike and natural heir to his predecessors Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. Also at bat is a young Midwesterner, Roger Maris. A hard-hitting right fielder, Maris is Mantle's opposite in almost every way. Quiet and soft-spoken, he doesn't add up to everything a sports legend should be, and finds himself losing the support of the fans when he refuses to try.As the summer of 1961 unfolds, both Maris and Mantle find themselves approaching Babe Ruth's benchmark of 60 home runs. Facing mounting pressure from the media and the stands, they both know there's only room for one winner. The people make their choice known. But the people's favorite isn't the favorite to win.

from Hal Leonard Guitar Method: Jazz-Rock Fusion (00697378)
Chords forms may also occur based on an interval pattern outside of the conventionally stacked 3rd forms. Quartal voicings are forms built on a pattern of 4ths. They occur as either pure 4ths, in which only the interval of a perfect fourth exists between chord tones, and diatonic fourths, which incorporate a different interval in combination with 4ths to accommodate a certain relationship. The diatonic fourth forms below illustrate the incorporation of an augmented 4th. However, any interval may be coupled with 4ths to form different chords.
These forms can function as several different chords depending on what note of the form is determined to be the root. In the following figure, they function in one of their most common roles: m11 chords. [Download audio sample]
The root of a chord form may also be a surrounding note not in the form. In cases such as these, it's nice to have a bass player on hand to cover the root. In the following figure, the last of the previous diatonic 4th forms is shifted to various spots along the neck to play each of the "B" chords, with the roots of Bm6/9, B7#9#5, and B13 not directly contained in the form. On the accompanying track, the bass drones a B root throughout the progression. [Download audio sample]
The former figure illustrates how a single chord form can actually function as several different chords. It all depends on what note is determined as the root. With twelve notes in western music, this means that a chord form will have twelve possible roots it can relate to. This is a hip understanding to apply in your playing. Not only can you use a single form to play a number of different chords (making certain chord changes easier to play), but you can also create some voodoo sounding approaches to voicing a given set of chords. The following forms illustrate a few of the multiple functions they can serve. The notes included in each form occur above the chord diagram and how those notes function in relationship to different roots, as well as the chord they generate, are shown beneath.
The key to grasping the "relative possibilities" for a given chord form is to know the notes it consists of and how those notes relate to the twelve keys of western music. The following figure presents each of the fifteen major keys (or scales) with their degrees for the twelve notes of music—all formed by starting the major scale formula from each note.
Why fifteen for twelve, you may ask? There are fifteen because the B major, F# major, and Db major scales can also be written as Cb major, Gb major, and C# major, respectively. These are known as enharmonic spellings. Simply, enharmonic means the same note with a different name. Learning these scales and understanding the multi-functionality of different forms seems like a daunting task, but it's also one of the single most important ways to blow your awareness of chords and music out of the stagnant "loss-of-ideas" and "I-keep-playing-the-same-form" waters. One scale/key at a time is all it takes. Remember that, in the following scales, the degrees 2, 4, and 6 also function as 9, 11, and 13.

Although officials have not yet identified the man killed by flooding in the 200 block of Linden Drive, friends believe the victim is Wesley Quinlan, a recent graduate of Centaurus High School.
Boulder County sheriff's officials have confirmed one male was killed early Thursday on Linden Drive and also confirmed a woman with him is missing.
Sheriff's Cmdr. Heidi Prentup said the couple was driving and had "some type of interaction" with water near Linden Avenue -- though she couldn't confirm whether the car got stuck.
"She got out, and the water swept her away," Prentup said.
The young man in the car got out to try to rescue her, but he was swept away, too, Prentup said.
Prentup said the woman is still missing.
Officials have not identified the victim, but Quinlan's Facebook page had numerous messages indicating the teen had died, including one that mentioned the flood.
"You did a heroic thing trying to save the one you loved from the flood," Bailey Vanity wrote on Quinlan's page.
The other fatal victim from the flooding is believed to be former Jamestown Mercantile owner Joseph Howlett, 72, according to the Denver Post. Sources said Howlett was killed when his house collapsed early Thursday in Jamestown.

Mimi had to work
I'll be checking Mimi's Twitter today. She's probably exhausted. Because she actually had to do some work last night. Something about a Disney Cruise ship launch and a casino promotion for Caesar's Palace. You know. This is what pays. A lot. And Mimi is nothing if not an earner. This is how they earn now. By showing up on a boat, posing with a stuffed toy, and waving for photographs.
So she put her size 4 body into a black dress like a mermaid and hitched herself onto the arm of her human walker. Nick Cannon has been dealing with some health issues but f-ck him if he couldn't pull it together to transport Mimi to her various engagements.
How sensible is a dress that pinches at the knees for a woman who already has problems travelling on her own legs from point a to point b?
Why do I snark? I'm sorry. This is wrong. It's Friday. It's been a long week. There's nothing wrong with a little Mimi to make it all better in time for the weekend.

Meeting Minutes
July 29, 2005
Board Members Present: Steve Van Ess, Ann Neviaser, Mary Jo Green, Debra McKinney, Kevin Ingram, Thomas Shields
HEAB Staff Present: Connie Hutchison, John Whitt, Sandy Thomas, Mary Lou Kuzdas, Nancy Wilkison, Sherrie Nelson, Michelle Massen, Cindy Lehrman, Barb Moermond
Others Present: Rolf Wegenke, WAICU; Paul Nelson, WAICU; Tom Heffron, WTCSB; Kristen Hendrickson, UW System Administration; Sharon Wilhelm, UW System Administration; Margaret Zitzer, Marquette University; Dan Goyette, Marquette University; Ben Dobner, Milwaukee School of Engineering
Chairman Steve Van Ess called the meeting to order at 9:03 a.m. Steve began by thanking the outgoing Board members, Luke Naegele and Colleen Bunner, for their contribution to the Board. He congratulated those members who have had their terms extended, Ann Neviaser and Khalaf Khalaf, both representing the Private and Independent Colleges and Universities, and welcomed Tom Shields to his first Board meeting. Also in the gallery was Liz Tucker who will officially be on the Board when Steve's term ends on September 1, 2005. Tom and Liz both represent the UW schools.
The motion was made by Ann Neviaser to approve the minutes of the February 18, 2005 Board meeting and was seconded by Kevin Ingram. The minutes were approved.
Connie Hutchison introduced two new HEAB staff members to the Board. Michelle Massen is working part time in personnel and accounting. Cassie Weisensel is an LTE helping fill the gap left by Alice Winters who has retired after serving at HEAB for 27 years. Alice has been in charge of the Academic Excellence Scholarship from its inception. Connie wished to offer a note of appreciation for all she has contributed to HEAB. She also took time to acknowledge the work done by the HEAB staff, all of whom were in attendance.
A special presentation was made for the outgoing Board Chairman, Steve Van Ess, who is retiring in September of this year. Connie thanked Steve for the help he has offered her as the Executive Secretary of HEAB. He has been a great asset to both the Board and the HEAB staff. On behalf of all, he was presented with an inscribed gavel noting his years of service to the Board. Steve took a moment to thank the members of the Board and other attendees to Board meetings for their dedication. He also touted the cooperation of the various sectors in administering financial aid to the students of Wisconsin. In closing he cited Connie and the HEAB staff for the incredible amount of work accomplished by a small staff and their willingness to accommodate any request made by his office. Steve also asked that the minutes reflect the Board's appreciation for Alice Winter's years of dedicated service. Ann Neviaser asked that the minutes also reflect the Board's appreciation for Steve's years of devoted service to the students of Wisconsin.
State Budget
Connie presented the Board with an update on the State Budget recently passed by the Legislature and revised by Governor Doyle. The financial aid community was greatly and positively affected by Governor Doyle's vetoes. Money was added to WHEG-WTC and the Tuition Grant. The 6% increase per year for both sectors was unexpected, and due in part to the concentrated efforts made by the various administrators, college presidents and chancellors, financial aid staff, and by Dr. Rolf Wegenke and Paul Nelson of WAICU. The Legislature had taken out $11 million of UW WHEG and through the use of the veto, Governor Doyle was able to restore $8 million. In the end all three sectors came out ahead. The Tuition Grant formula will need to be changed. The only change to the UW formulas will be to cap awards at $2500 because a proposal by the Governor to increase the maximum grant form $2500 to $3000 was taken out by Joint Finance and the Governor was unable to increase the cap using the veto. The Governor was also unable to restore the .64 percent position that HEAB lost. This brings current staff numbers to nine instead of eleven. Connie will be going to Joint Finance to try to restore the position and it's funding in September or October. In this new budget HEAB also received money and staff for the computer rewrite that is so sorely needed. Dr. Wegenke was thanked for his efforts to help convince Legislators to include this item in the budget. Connie has asked staff to list items they would like addressed in the rewrite and has also asked that WASFAA set up listening sessions for financial aid personnel input as well.
College Goal Sunday
In February WASFAA will sponsor a one day workshop set up in various locations around the state to help students and parents fill out the FAFSA. It is hoped that it will help students apply early, it will help families filling out the FAFSA for the first time, and it will help low income students think about the resources available for funding college. Connie will serve on the planning committee.
Current Legislation
At the last Board meeting further discussion of statute changes made for the Academic Excellence Scholarship was tabled because current pending legislation could make the changes suggested to the Board. Senator Fred Risser has a bill that will change the way in which alternates are chosen for schools which use a traditional grading system. Currently alternates must have the exact grade point as the initial recipient to get a scholarship which has been released. This legislation is still active, but may not see any movement this fall because of the time being spent on the budget. Senator Ron Brown also has pending legislation concerning the Academic Excellence Scholarship which would affect the Technical College system. This bill would broaden the opportunities for students to receive the scholarship if they are enrolled in a two-year certificate program. This bill is still in the drafting stages and was not available to share with the Board.
Annually the Joint Committee on Finance reviews the Administrative Memorandum for the Minnesota-Wisconsin Interstate Tuition Reciprocity Program. The Minnesota Higher Education Services Office and the Wisconsin Joint Finance Committee have approved the 2005-2006 memorandum. The basic agreement remains the same. An article from the Wisconsin State Journal highlighted the problems that cause rumors saying there will be an end, or drastic changes to the program. Wisconsin students attending Minnesota schools are paying less in tuition than Minnesota students attending Minnesota schools. Wisconsin students pay comparable tuition to schools in Wisconsin which have lower tuition rates. The disparity is made up in a lump sum paid to Minnesota at the end of the year. This year Wisconsin paid $6 million to the general fund of Minnesota. In past years, Minnesota has made similar payments to Wisconsin. While there is always talk of altering the agreement, it is far too popular on both sides of the border to warrant ending it all together. If any changes are made, HEAB would suggest that they be phased in over a period of four years so students currently attending school are not hit with a much higher tuition rate in mid program.
In 2004-05 WHEG-UW has committed 134.23% ($45,352,463) of its appropriation with 31,271 awards. This is 3911 more awards and 1.08% less committed than at this time last year. The final commitment for 2003-04 was 135.32%. WHEG-WTC has committed 165.77% ($24,784,106) of its appropriation with 33,134 awards. This is 4226 more awards and 1.92% less committed than at this time last year. The "W" and "Z" codes were used, again due to a dramatic increase in eligible applicants. The final commitment for 2003-04 was 167.69%. WTG has committed 101.78% ($22,869,116) of its appropriation with 10,594 awards. This is 690 more awards and 6.62% more committed than at this time last year. The final commitment for 2003-04 was 95.16%. The number of applicants through June 1, 2005, for the 2004-05 academic year was 236,786.
In the current academic year WHEG-UW has committed 108.49% ($43,457,646) of its appropriation with 23,203 awards. This is 635 fewer awards and 10.04% more committed than at this time last year. In 2004-05 the program had committed 98.45% of its appropriation at this time. Note: The appropriation recommended by the Joint Finance Committee, plus $3,000,000 of the $8,000,000 the Governor restored to WHEG-UW, was used to calculate the committed percentage. WHEG-WTC has committed 120.16% ($18,944,751) of its appropriation with 24,006 awards. This is 280 fewer awards and 1.47% less committed than at this time last year. In 2004-05 the program had committed 121.63% of its appropriation at this time. Note: The appropriation recommended by the Joint finance Committee was used to calculate the committed percentage. WTG has committed 111.43% ($24,630,156) of its appropriation with 9652 awards. This is 499 less awards and 3.15% more committed than at this time last year. The number of applicants through July 12, 2005 for the 2003-04 academic year is 172,167. Last year at this time there were 164,415 applicants.
There are currently four sectors for which Wisconsin Higher Education Grant (WHEG) or Tuition Grant (TG) appropriations are made by the legislature: the Wisconsin Technical College System; the University of Wisconsin System; the Wisconsin Independent Colleges and Universities; and the Tribal Colleges. The only sector without statutory board representation is the Tribal Colleges. The Legislature would have to act in order to add a new voting member to the Higher Educational Aides Board. However, the Board does have the authority to create a position for a non-voting member. It was recommended that the Board create one ex-officio board position for the Tribal Sector. The Tribal Colleges would choose their representative and this would be a non-voting position.
Kevin Ingram moved that the Board accept the recommendation as presented by the Executive Secretary, and it was seconded by Ann Neviaser. Debra McKinney offered a friendly amendment adding that the new member must be from a school whose students are eligible for WHEG or TG funds only. Kevin Ingram accepted the friendly amendment. Ann Neviaser then posed a second friendly amendment stating that this proposed change in board membership be reviewed at the end of the first 3-year term. It was accepted by Kevin Ingram. The motion, as amended, passed unanimously.
15 minute break
During the past year, the Legislative Audit Bureau notified HEAB that the Return of Funds policy was somewhat unclear, and was being interpreted in various ways by various campuses. HEAB staff met with the WASFAA State Issues Committee to discuss how the policy could be clarified. Board members were given a working draft showing additions and deletions and the recommended draft of the new policy.
Debra McKinney moved to accept the new policy as presented on July 29. It was seconded by Tom Shields and passed unanimously.
Formulas for 2005-06 WHEG and TG were developed in January and approved at the February 18. 2005 board meeting. The appropriations used in developing the formulas were those put forth by the Governor in his 2005-07 budget proposal. As the budget went through the legislative process, appropriations for TG and WHEG-Technical Colleges were increased, and the appropriation for WHEG-UW was decreased. The appropriation for WHEG-Tribal remained unchanged. With the finalization of the 2005-07 budget, there was a substantial change in the TG appropriation. Governor Doyle recommended an appropriation of $22,473,700 for the 2005-06 fiscal year, and increase of $370,000. The Legislature appropriated $23,429,900. This amount was not changed before the Budget Bill was signed by Governor Doyle. This substantial, unexpected increase resulted in a new formula recommendation.
The recommendation of WAICU president, Dr. Rolf Wegenke, is to increase the maximum award from $2500 to $2850 and to increase the minimum award from $250 to $500. Additionally, there are proposed changes to the Inflation Factors and the Base Maintenance Amounts as outlined on Table 1 provided to Board members. HEAB Executive Secretary, Connie Hutchison, agrees with the recommendation of WAICU and Dr Rolf Wegenke.
Ann Neviaser moved that the recommendation be accepted and it was seconded by Deb McKinney. The motion passed unanimously.
NASSGAP Survey Data
The National Association of State Student Grant and Aid Programs (NASSGAP) has completed its 2003-04 Annual Survey report on State-Sponsored Student Financial Aid. This survey was handed out to Board members. Connie will readdress this material at the October board meeting.
Election of Board Officers Elections were held for the three Board officer positions, Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Secretary.
Steve Van Ess opened the floor to nominations for Chairman. Ann Neviaser nominated Mary Jo Green. No other nominations were forthcoming and Mary Jo was elected unanimously to the position.
Nominations for the position of Vice-Chairman were taken. Debra McKinney nominated Ann Neviaser for a second term in the position. With no other nominations Ann was unanimously voted into the position.
Nominations for Secretary were accepted. Ann Neviaser nominated Debra McKinney. She was unanimously voted to the position.
Dates were chosen for the next four Board meetings. They are as follows: October 14, 2005; February 10, 2006; April 28, 2006; and July 21, 2006.
Tom Shields moved that the meeting be adjourned, second by Debra McKinney, and Chairman Steve Van Ess brought down his gavel at 10:50.
Respectfully submitted by
Mary Jo Green, Secretary

Atomic Kitten sign perfume deal
The girl group - Kerry Katona, Natasha Hamilton and Liz McClarnon - has reformed for reality TV show The Big Reunion and a number of upcoming gigs.
The band has now revealed they are planning to work on new tracks, and have just landed a deal for a perfume and make-up range.
Speaking on Friday's (15Feb13) episode of The Alan Titchmarsh Show, Katona revealed, "We have just signed a contract for our own perfume range and cosmetic range, so this isn't the last of Atomic Kitten."
Hamilton adds, "We've already been in the studio, we want to write some more music so it's all very exciting."
Katona quit the band just days before the release of breakthrough international hit Whole Again in 2001 and was replaced by singer Jenny Frost, but the original trio reunited for the reality show after Frost fell pregnant. She has since given birth to twins.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA— The Capistrano Unified School District Board of Trustees voted 6-1 on Wednesday, June 28, to adopt Resolution No. 1617-89, Resolution of the Capistrano Unified School District Opposing Any Toll Road Extension Alignment that Adversely Affects District School Sites and Students.
The District is not and has not been involved with the Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA) or any other organization or entity regarding the planning of the Toll Road extension. The District met with community members to discuss TCA's proposed project ideas/alternatives and learned, just like many in our community, some of the Toll Road extension plans come close to existing schools.
After examining the grant deeds for Tesoro High School, and having them plotted by a licensed land surveyor, the District determined the Los Patrones Parkway construction, which is being constructed within the originally planned alignment for the Toll Road, is not being constructed on District property. It is proposed for land, adjacent to the District's property. The property conveyed to the District consists of four assessor parcels, identified as Assessor Parcel Nos. 125-096-59, -60, -69 and -82. While, regardless, no construction is occurring on Parcel -82, the District has identified certain title record conflicts relating to ownership of that parcel, and is working with legal counsel to review and clarify such conflicts.
With respect to current construction, Los Patrones Parkway, in either its current form or the expanded original SR-241 Toll Road alignment, was part of and addressed by the District's California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis for both Tesoro High School and Esencia K-8 in Rancho Mission Viejo. Air quality and noise impacts, among others, were all part of the environmental considerations undertaken not only by the District, but also the County in approving the Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) for Rancho Mission Viejo. Neither the District's environmental document for our sites, nor Rancho Mission Viejo's environmental documentation, suggest the presence of toxic soils.
"Concerns, relative to dust from grading are legitimate concerns shared by the District—and the District will do its part to report any observed fugitive dust emissions to the Orange County Planning Director, as called for in the Rancho Mission Viejo EIR and addendums for the Roadway," said Capistrano Unified School District Superintendent Kirsten Vital.
Because the Toll Road is a County approved project, it does not involve any District approvals, easements, or agreements. Before TCA can construct the ultimate Toll Expressway extension to Interstate-5, it will be required to identify, and environmentally review, a new alignment for such a project. The District will continue to monitor and review such proposals, and can address any concern as presented.

The parenting world is all aflutter over an 8-year-old "political activist" who faced down Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann. Word has it little Elijah gave the anti-gay candidate what for on behalf of his lesbian mom, and the whole family is enjoying their time as national heroes with their video gone viral. Which begs the question: America, did we see the same video?
Because I didn't see an 8-year-old activist. I saw a parenting fail of the first order.
Oh sure, Elijah and his mom did show up at Bachmann's South Carolina book signing. And he did get some face-time with the candidate. Heck, he even got her to lean across her table and get real close so he could whisper into her ear.
But that's where the two stories diverge. The Elijah I see in this video is terrified, not determined. And when he's uncomfortable about pushing the issue, he's pushed by an adult to repeat the heavily controversial, "My mommy's gay, but she doesn't need any fixing." Take a look -- and turn up the volume, because this "activist" whispers:
Does that look like a kid who is hell-bent on taking down a political candidate or a little boy being used as a puppet to you? As a gay rights activist and a mother both, I confess I found the video appalling.
I've seen a look like that on my daughter's face before -- when she was asked to give a kiss to an elderly relative. He's not going to hurt her; in fact, he loves her. But when you're 5, an old man who yells (because of his hearing aids) and wears an oxygen mask can be scary. But unlike this mom, I read her facial cues.
I backed off -- immediately -- and I took her into the next room to talk about how she was feeling and why she didn't want to give that kiss. Because my kid isn't my puppet. She's a person, with her own feelings. And although I like to joke that I'm giving her fodder for her therapy in 20 years, I really am trying to turn an emotionally well-adjusted kid out into the world. Part of that means understanding her boundaries.
Elijah's mom, who has willingly put her kid out there but so far will only tell people her name is Jennifer, says her son is the one who wanted to confront Bachmann. She may be telling the truth, and I completely support the sentiment! But when she saw how hard it was for him, it was up to her to put her role as parent above her role as pot stirrer.
Have your kids ever gotten really uncomfortable in a situation?

With a victory tonight against the Cubs, the 6-8 Mets would win their third straight game and first series of the season.
On the mound is Oliver Perez, who is coming off a solid start last Friday at St. Louis when he gave up one run in 6 1/3 innings.
Perez worked quickly and got ahead in the count in that game, spotting his pitches low and on the corners. It was how the Mets have wanted him to work for years.
He'll be backed by this line-up:
Jose Reyes, SS
Luis Castillo, 2B
David Wright, 3B
Jason Bay, LF
Jeff Francoeur, RF
Ike Davis, 1B
Rod Barajas, C
Angel Pagan, CF
Oliver Perez, LP
Offensively, Wright and Bay have been strikeout machines lately and Francoeur's hot start is now a memory. On the upside, with four hits Reyes might be getting into a groove.
Ryota Igarashi was placed on the disabled list today with a strained left hamstring (he was replaced by Manny Acosta), which leaves the eighth inning to Pedro Feliciano and Fernando Nieve.

Bro Bowl
Brothers Jim and John Harbaugh met once before as NFL head coaches. On Thanksgiving Day of 2011, John's Baltimore Ravens defeated Jim's San Francisco 49ers, 16-6. The Ravens sacked 49ers quarterback Alex Smith nine times in the game, their highest sack total in 92 games under John Harbaugh. It is also the most sacks allowed by the 49ers in 36 games under Jim Harbaugh.
Tom Hauck/Associated Press
Important point plateau
When scoring 20-plus points, Jim Harbaugh's San Francisco 49ers are 22-0-1 in their last 23 games. Including playoff games, the 49ers have only lost one game in the Harbaugh era when scoring 20 or more points.
Greg Trott/Associated Press
How's that for starters?
Jim Harbaugh's all-time coaching record (including playoff games) is 27-8-1. Those 27 wins are tied with Steve Mariucci for the third-most wins by a head coach in his first two seasons in NFL history. The only coaches with more wins in their first two seasons are George Seifert (32) and Barry Switzer 28). Harbaugh, Mariucci and Seifert all attained those victories coaching the San Francisco 49ers. Switzer for the Dallas Cowboys (1994-95).
Kevin Terrell/Associated Press
Defense doesn't rest
The San Francisco 49ers had the NFL's second-best scoring defense this season, allowing 17.1 points per game (the Seattle Seahawks had the top-rated scoring defense, allowing 15.3 points). The Ravens had 12th-ranked scoring defense in 2012, allowing 21.5 points per game. In Super Bowl history, teams with a top-two scoring defense are 16-5 when they do not face another top-two scoring defense on Super Sunday.
Eric Risberg/Associated Press
All they do is win
Among the 18 teams with multiple Super Bowl appearances, the San Francisco 49ers are the only team never to have lost in the Super Bowl, going 5-0. The next-best winning percentage among teams that reached multiple Super Bowls belongs to the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants, with each going 4-1 on Super Sunday.
Ron Heflin/Associated Press
Dynamite under the dome
The San Francisco 49ers are 21-11 in games played in the Superdome, including a 55-10 victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV. Among teams with at least 10 games played in the Superdome, the 49ers have the league's best winning percentage (.656).
Al Golub/Associated Press
Fresh faces behind center
This will be the first Super Bowl without Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger or a Manning (Peyton or Eli) at quarterback since Super Bowl XXXVII, when Brad Johnson and Rich Gannon were the opposing quarterbacks. The Mannings, Brady and Roethlisberger have combined for eight Super Bowl wins in 12 appearances since the 2001 season.
National Football League
Perfection in the pocket
What might be the most telling statistic explaining the San Francisco 49ers' perfection in the Super Bowl (five wins in five games) is that their starting quarterbacks (Joe Montana and Steve Young) and backup QBs (Young, Bill Musgrave and Elvis Grbac) have combined to throw 17 touchdowns and no interceptions.
Associated Press
On target
The Baltimore Ravens' Joe Flacco (114.7) and San Francisco 49ers' Colin Kaepernick (105.9) were the two highest-rated passers in the 2012 playoffs. Alex Smith's 101.0 rating from the 2011 playoffs, which placed him third behind Drew Brees and Eli Manning last year, would rank him below Flacco, Kaepernick, Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers this year.
Paul Spinelli/Associated Press
No ordinary Joe
Through his first three games of the 2012 playoffs, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has eight touchdowns and no interceptions. In NFL history, five previous quarterbacks have completed a postseason with eight-plus touchdowns and no interceptions: Joe Montana, Steve Young, Phil Simms, Troy Aikman and Drew Brees. Each won the Super Bowl and was named the Super Bowl MVP.
David Drapkin/Associated Press
Flacco flies high in postseason
Since he entered the NFL in 2008, the Baltimore Ravens' Joe Flacco has the most playoff wins (eight) by a starting quarterback. In that time, Flacco has one more playoff wins than Tom Brady (three), Peyton Manning (two), Matt Ryan (one) and Jay Cutler (one), combined.
Associated Press
Respect the Fightin' Blue Hens
Southern California, Texas and Ohio State have never had a starting quarterback in the Super Bowl. As of Sunday, the University of Delaware will have two (Joe Flacco and Rich Gannon).
Matthew Emmons/USA TODAY Sports
Rally of historic proportions
The San Francisco 49ers' 17-point comeback victory in the NFC Championship Game against the Atlanta Falcons was their second-largest ever in the postseason in franchise history. The 49ers' largest comeback wins in postseason history have been led by Jeff Garcia -- who led a 24-point comeback in the 2002 wild-card round against the New York Giants -- and Colin Kaepernick -- not Joe Montana or Steve Young.
Jed Jacobsohn/Associated Press
How's that for starters?
Colin Kaepernick will become the fourth quarterback to start in the Super Bowl in the same season as his first career NFL start. Only Tom Brady, Kurt Warner and Vince Ferragamo have previously done so. Both Brady and Warner won the Super Bowl in their first season as starter.

When last they met ...
Alex Smith was sacked nine times in the San Francisco 49ers' last game against the Baltimore Ravens (Week 12 of the 2011 season). Colin Kaepernick has been sacked a total of nine times in his last six games, and has not been sacked multiple times in any game since Week 14.

Fun run
Michael Vick has had three rushes of 50-plus yards in his 10-year NFL career. Colin Kaepernick has three rushes of 50 or more yards since Week 13.

Downfield dynamo
Colin Kaepernick had the NFL's best rating on passing attempts of 21-plus yards through the air (minimum of 10 attempts). He was the only player with at least 10 attempts to complete more than 50 percent of his passes that far downfield. Alex Smith had the NFL's next best completion percentage on throws of 21-plus yards (47.1 percent).

Off to the races
At the 2011 NFL Scouting Combine, the only quarterback to run a faster 40-yard dash time than Colin Kaepernick (4.53 seconds) was Baltimore Ravens backup Tyrod Taylor (4.51 seconds).

Ravens' new bell-cow back?
Baltimore Ravens running back Bernard Pierce has more rushing yards (401) than Ray Rice (397) since Jim Caldwell took over play-calling duties in Week 15.

Can Gore catch Craig?
San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore had 23 rushes for 119 yards against the Green Bay Packers in the divisional playoff round and 21 rushes for 90 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship Game. In the Super Bowl, no 49ers player has ever rushed for more than the 75 yards that Roger Craig produced in Super Bowl XXIII.

Chasing 100
San Francisco 49ers receiver Randy Moss has 67 career games with 100-plus receiving yards, second-most all-time, behind only Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice's 84 (including playoffs). Moss, however, has played in 42 consecutive games without reaching 100 receiving yards, including playoffs. He has not had a 100-plus yard receiving game in the playoffs since Bill Clinton was President of the United States. That came in the 2000 divisional playoff round against the New Orleans Saints, when he had 121 receiving yards for the Minnesota Vikings (the Vikings won that game, 34-16).

Tackling machine
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis has 44 tackles in the 2012 playoffs, the most of any player this postseason. In the Ravens' Super Bowl run following the 2000 season, the then-25-year-old Lewis also had the most tackles of any player in the postseason, with 31.
Rick Bowmer/Associated Press
It's been awhile
Sunday, Feb. 3, 2013 will be 12 years and six days after Ray Lewis played in Super Bowl XXXV against the New York Giants. Only Junior Seau had a longer span in his career between Super Bowls.
Associated Press
How's that for coincidence?
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis has 41.5 career sacks, the first of which came in 1996 against then-Indianapolis Colts quarterback and current San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, who later became Lewis' teammate in Baltimore in the 1998 season.
Nick Wass/Associated Press
Postseason pick party
Baltimore Ravens safaty Ed Reed grew up in St. Rose, La., about 17 miles away from the Superdome. Reed has eight career postseason interceptions, most among active players. The NFL record for most career postseason interceptions is shared by Charlie Waters of the Dallas Cowboys, Bill Simpson of the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills, and Ronnie Lott of the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Raiders, all of whom had nine.
Associated Press
Lonely kickers
San Francisco 49ers kicker David Akers is tied with the Buffalo Bills' Scott Norwood for the third-worst regular-season field goal percentage for a kicker entering the Super Bowl since 1990. Norwood made only 69.0 percent of his kicks during that regular season -- the exact same percentage of kicks that Akers made during the 2012 season. Norwood then famously missed a 47-yarder wide right in Super Bowl XXV against the New York Giants. Norwood would be even worse the next season, making 62.1 percent of his kicks (en route to another Bills Super Bowl defeat).

The one place cash isn't king is online. But Wal-Mart, and other retailers, may change that.
Next month, WalMart.com reportedly will start "Pay With Cash," which lets customers reserve items online for in-store pickup. Although the target audience may be the estimated 20% of Wal-Mart (WMT) customers without a bank account or credit card, but experts say the service could also benefit consumers trying to stick to budget or wary that keying in their credit card numbers online exposes them to fraud. "It's good for the reconnaissance shopper who wants to get in and get out," says Gail Cunningham, a spokeswoman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. "They don't need to tempt themselves further." Wal-Mart did not respond to requests for comment.
Online ordering with in-store pickup continues to become more common. Wal-Mart already offers site-to-store shipping, for example, although customers must pay for those orders online. Best Buy, L.L. Bean, Payless and Radio Shack are among the other retailers offering similar options. As we've previously reported, those policies help even credit-paying online shoppers avoid shipping fees and stack more valuable discount coupons.
Still, reserving items online for in-store pickup isn't without its pitfalls, says Cunningham. Most stores require the person who ordered to be the one who picks up an item, with photo ID on hand as proof. Stores may also arrange pickup at the customer service desk, where lines can be nearly as long as those at the register. "We don't yet know with Wal-Mart's program what hoops you'll have to jump through," she says.

Coastal Bend Chapter of Credit Union board members made this last Valentine's Day special by offering Random Acts of Kindness to residents impacted by Hurricane Harvey. The board members positioned themselves in three of the hardest hit areas, including Rockport, Port Aransas, and Aransas Pass, and randomly distributed $50 gift cards to residents.
Bipartisan cooperation on the National Credit Union Administration board has led to policies that will help credit unions position themselves to serve members however the economy might change, said Board Member Rick Metsger yesterday at Credit Union National Association's Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington, DC.
At yesterday's Network of Latino Credit Unions and Professionals (NLCUP) Networking Reception, which takes place annually during the CUNA GAC, Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) addressed credit union executives, advocates, and organizations.
Republican pollster, television personality, and writer Kristen Soltis Anderson presented at yesterday's CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference about Millennial Misperceptions.
FTSI is very excited to announce that they will be hosting a special event the day before NCR's Innovation Forum, featuring a panel presentation with guest speaker Caroline Willard CEO of Cornerstone Credit Union League.
The time to prepare for disasters is far before the disaster happens. Disasters come in all forms, including robberies, fires, terrorism, hurricanes, and tornadoes. That's why Cornerstone is partnering with the League of Southern Credit Unions and Affiliates (LSCU) to promote the Disaster Preparedness Conference.
Cornerstone offered a Legislative Issues Briefing to member credit unions yesterday during the CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference. The briefing encompassed topics credit unions could discuss with their members of Congress, including ADA website litigation, regulatory relief and bills in play (S. 2155 and H.R. 1264), stopping the merchant data breaches, and preserving the tax status.
A small cadre of credit union advocates interrupted their time at the CUNA GAC to meet with President Donald Trump on Monday to rally White House support behind the Senate's bipartisan regulatory relief bill known as S. 2155, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act.
Monday at the CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference, more than 5,000 credit union professionals from around the country gathered to hear former President George W. Bush discuss the political, cultural, and financial climate with CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle.
The CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference is in full swing, and the agenda covers an impressive array of relevant topics, addressed by experts in the industry. In addition to a conversation between CUNA President and CEO Jim Nussle and former President George W. Bush, the conference offered many sessions of high interest to attendees. Here's a brief wrap-up of Monday's events.

Anyone can sway to the rhythm of a catchy tune. But what if you could translate your body movements into actual music? That's the idea behind Machina's "MJ v1.0," the world's first jacket to combine a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) controller with flexible motion sensors to operate multiple digital music instruments, computers, and other devices simultaneously. It's even designed to be hackable. The Mexico-based technology firm is working on a "hackstore" that will allow users to upload their own presets. Ultimately, you'll be able to make the jacket do whatever you want: engineer beats, mix video, even play games. Forget learning the guitar—this is the future of making music.
The MJ v1.0 isn't just outerwear, it's also a sophisticated piece of equipment. Inspired by and modeled after an LED light, the garment features four flexible membrane potentiometers that monitor your finger's position, an accelerometer on the sleeve to detect your arm's acceleration, a joystick, and four pushbuttons. The jacket is currently so complex, in fact, that it be only be made by hand by a master tailor.
The MJ v1.0 isn't just outerwear, it's also a sophisticated piece of equipment.
The MJ v1.0 isn't just outerwear, it's also a sophisticated piece of equipment.
"The sensors are invisible except for placeholders," says Machina. "We want integration to be complete, and that's why we're working so hard in making sure that, while the sensors are there, they do not affect the look and feel of the jacket. The jacket looks like a regular jacket, and it can be worn under any condition."
Above all, the jacket is a platform, one that can be programmed for additional functionalities. Machina plans to release a mobile application for iOS and Android so users can interact with the MJ v1.0 in a simple way. All of the company's code will be available freely, complete with libraries to make customizing the product a cinch.
We're dizzy with the possibilities.

Everybody loves the Olympics. And if there's something that gamers know, it's that game developers are all over anything popular. If people like it, you can bet it'll somehow be turned into a video game. 49Games and Conspiracy Entertainment have teamed up and skirted around SEGA's official license of the Olympic Games to churn out an Olympics-esque title that is more disappointing than Alicia Sacramone failing to medal in women's vault.
Though it lacks any reference to the 2008 Olympics, Summer Athletics clearly revolves around the international sporting event. The title is a compilation of more than 20 different summer-themed sports games, from swimming and cycling to javelin-throwing and track-and-field events.
Summer Athletics does deserve some recognition for doing a few of the events well. But it really does seem that for every sport the game gets right, it gets two wrong. Some events are incredibly repetitive. For example, the adaptation of sprints is all about timing the start and then performing the same repetitive action over and over again until you cross the finish line.
Some of the other events, however, are a lot more interesting. Of course, even some of the more exciting events are largely meter-based; you'll time button presses and specific actions that, if performed correctly, will allow you to execute an event well. The complex events are generally more fun, but there's a big catch.
The problem is that while the more complex events are typically more enjoyable, they're also incredibly difficult to get the hang of. Consequently, Summer Athletics has a pretty intense learning curve, a problem made all the worse by the fact that this is a game clearly geared toward a more casual audience. When you've got to be constantly lining up items, filling up meters, and performing context-sensitive actions, you're already going to be confused. But Summer Athletics never really tells you what you're supposed to do. You'll have to run through an event several times before you finally get the hang of it.
Summer Athletics is also a pretty terrible-looking game. It doesn't vary much from platform-to-platform; no matter where you play it, it's going to look ugly. Character models are blurry and unimpressive, and animation for some of the events is done quite poorly. It looks like a game from last generation and, frankly, that's just unacceptable. Plus, graphics are something that are often more important with sports titles than in other genres of games, so the visual shortcomings are even more pronounced.
The Wii controls for this title end up being both a good and bad thing. The Wii does allow for a lot of game immersion, especially with sports games. It's a pleasant surprise to realize you've broken a little sweat from playing this game for a half-hour or so. But on the other hand, the controls can sometimes be unresponsive, which is, of course, never a good thing. I've found events like swimming generally work well and are pretty fun. However, something like javelin-throwing, which has you thrusting the remote forward, among other actions, is often not picked-up. The hit-or-miss quality that's present among these different events is a big downside for the game.
