Entertaining NXT video - 7 minutes
You get a look at the containers they'll eventually be selling. There's also some really quick glimpses of the printed material, but it's hard to see details. I did notice some components in the Education version that I don't have in my retail version... not a big deal as I'm sure there are parts in my kit that won't be found in the Education version.
This brings up the question - do I buy the Education version or the Retail version? I think we can manage a good discussion here on this. A few weeks ago when I had a chance to meet with some fellow MDPers and Soren and Paal of LEGO, this issue did come up.
One thing we need to keep in mind is that the Retail version is designed for a single user (or small group of friends) that will experiment on their own. My opinion is that the RoboCenter is designed to give this user a good understanding of the basics of construction and programming. The RoboCenter is part of the Retail version and, when the 18 challenges are completed, the user can be confident in programming all the sensors and the motors, PLUS have some good techniques in their 'bag of tricks' that are demonstrated during the Challenge Build Instructions.
As for the Education version, the RoboCenter now becomes the Robo Educator. The Challenges are replaced with training that goes along with the Curriculum being developed for integrating the NXT with a classroom setting. I don't have all the details on the Robo Educator, but in my discussions with LEGO I came to understand that the Education NXT version is most definitely designed for a classroom and a planned curriculum.
The sensors count and parts count are also different between kits. The Education version comes with fewer building components, but does come with a few extra sensors that are included to complete the projects in the Robo Educator. The converter cables are included so an existing investment in RCX/RIS parts, motors, and sensors can be maximized. (The converter cables can be purchased separately for those with the Retail kit who would like to integrate the legacy sensors/motors with the newer kit.)
When talking with Soren, I came to understand that there are reasons for the differences between the Retail and Education versions - simply choosing to purchase the Education version because it comes with converter cables and a recharge battery is ignoring the major reason for having two different versions: one is for integration with a classroom and the other is for individual experimentation and the included software instruction is what defines the two.
Let the discussions/debates begin...

I had this discussion with some of my friends and came to the conclusion that the main reason to purchase the RETAIL version was for the programming environment (assuming you don't want to jump immediately to a 3rd party system and that you CAN without some 'setup' from the retail CD).
The main reasons to purchase the Educational version as a non-educator was for all the bits that are exclusive to the Educational version, namely:
1 Rechargable Battery
3 NXT-RCX converter cables
+1 Touch sensor
3 lamps
For all the 'goodies' in the educational version, you're getting fewer building elements/pieces and no software. The presumption on the software is that the school will be buying a site license.
So my personal opinion is that the first NXT to enter the house will be a retail version.
The second kit to enter the house will be an educational version -- but will come in a few months later (allowing the discretionary dollar fund to recharge a little).

I will be building curriculum for 4th, 5th and 6th grades. When my retail set arrives in July, I'll be sifting through Robocenter. When my education kits come in August, I have Robo-educator. I'm still debating whether to get the CMU curriculum because I hear its for middle and high school level.
Does anyone have insight on
Robocenter , Robo-edu and CMU curr. as to how I can break it down by grade levels?

I personally don't see why not to prefer the education set over the retail set (if you don't mind paying a little extra for the software), especially if you already have a bunch of Lego Techinc pieces that would be compatible with NXT.
As for the software issue, I (personally) don't mind the challenge of learning a new programing system that's made for a classroom setting. (I've already used the Lego education ROBOLAB for the RCX, and from what I've seen I think it was easier to use than the retail software, even though I never used the retail software.)
Anyway, my mind still isn't totally made up yet.
- May 21, 2006, 10:56:00 AM
The software (single license) is $42.00 according to this. My understanding is that the retail version and educational versions of the software are identical... I'd love confirmation of that though, since I'm only going by the videos we've seen.
Oh -- and no 'educational' items(sets, software, etc) will ship until August. Currently preorders of the retail version ship in July (at least according to Lego's site).
I think that is the main reason I'm planning on getting the retail version out of the chute -- but why any followons will very likely be 'educational'.

The software is the same for Education and Retail... it's the Lego Mindstorms NXT program that you've seen in our screenshots, but the difference is what appears on the right side of the screen - RoboCenter in Retail and Robo Educator in Education.
The official word from LEGO is that RoboLab is going away after 2.9 - it is there intention to get behind the new programming language for both versions.

As for me, the rechargable battery is a pretty alluring argument for buying the educational version, even more as it enables you to run the NXT brick with an AC (I hope I have understood that point correctly).
I found it rather obstructive to have the NXT drained from power pretty quick with my rechargable batteries - for program development (which involves a lot of program-download-try-refactor cycles in case of robots), an AC suppy will prove very useful, even for mobile platforms.
ps. Dear me, children these days obviously are more used to this anime-like flick-flack-scene-switching style of videos than we old fossils are - is it only me who's eyes are dropping out and who's brain is indulging into epileptic tremor with this video?

I would guess that the educational version of nxt-g is slightly more capable in that it contains support for the legacy sensors.
Which brings up a question: Is there any way to add functionality to nxt-g? For example, based on a cursory look at NBC, the standard nxt firmware supports drawing graphics to the LCD. This does not seem to be possible in nxt-g. I routinely program in LabVIEW and would like to add such functionality. Is there a mechanism to do so?

- Jim Kelly said...
The Retail version of the software may have support for the legacy sensors and motors... sorry this hasn't been mentioned sooner.
The HELP documentation for the software covers the legacy sensors and motors, but so far I haven't seen the blocks used to control them... not sure if something has to be 'unlocked' for them to show up in the retail version.
- May 23, 2006, 6:22:00 AM

Just wanted to try to clarify about the software...
The programming environment for the Retail version is identical to the programming environment for the Education version. The biggest difference, like Jim said, is that Retail comes with RoboCenter, while the Education version comes with Robot Educator.
RoboCenter focuses on getting the user to be able to build and program four major types of models. Robot Educator, however, uses shorter tutorials that help the user understand how to use each of the programming blocks on both the common and advanced palettes. The goal of Robot Educator is to give students chunks of knowledge that they can then turn around and apply to whatever challenge they are given. It's this fundamental focus that is so distinct from the Retail - we want students to be able to take the concepts they learn in building and programming and apply them to math, science, engineering, and technology principles.
Tom is right, however, in guessing that the Education version supports the legacy sensors and motors. As far as I know, there is no way to "unlock" those programming blocks in the retail version (keep in mind, however, that I've got no hacking skills to speak of though...).
If any of you have any questions regarding the Education NXT, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. We're sharing as much info as we can, I promise. Often, emails I get will prompt a blog post, so your questions will help others as well.

Well, Lisbeth, since you offered... :)
Can you find out about the missing legacy blocks in the retail software? If the converter cables are going to be offered for sale to those of us with the retail kit, there's must be plans for making the legacy programming blocks available... either through 'unlocking' or maybe a patch to the software. I noticed in the HELP documentation that legacy motors and sensors are starred (*) to differentiate the instructions - since they were included in the retail version of the software I can only HOPE that the blocks will be made available to us. Thanks!
- May 23, 2006, 7:32:00 AM
- Lisbeth said...
Well, as far as I know, there are no plans for the retail version to offer those legacy blocks at all. While we will be selling those converter cables, we focus our sales at educators, so we can't help but officially assume that people purchasing those converter cables and having them sent to home addresses are just teachers working from home after school is out...
I don't know if the retail division of LEGO has any plans to sell the converter cables. My understanding is that RIS, the RCX, and all it's accompanianing parts are pretty much a dead deal.
- May 25, 2006, 12:52:00 AM
Lego has always been about building on the previous incarnation.
Duplo blocks are many children's first introduction to LEGO. Duplo blocks can be stacked with certain 'normal' bricks (most notably the 2x4s) to allow graduation from one system to the next without having to forgo the older pieces.
Studded beams with holes can connect to 'normal' Lego pieces to then allow the introduction of Technics elements.
The software has already been developed for the legacy sensors.
The converter cables are already being produced.
Most of the customers who seem to be buzzing about the NXT probably own an RCX and accompanying sensors.
It seems illogical for LEGO to NOT offer these already produced items for sale to the interested general public.
This answer may be the impotus for mass cancellations of NXT preorders (retail) and an equal increase in orders for Eduational versions, which isn't necessarily good for LEGO's relationship with retailers.
- May 25, 2006, 5:28:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
I have requested information on the MDP forum regarding the legacy programming blocks.
Let's hold off on threats to cancel pre-orders... LEGO demonstrated its willingness to listen to its customers by implementing the MDP, and I for one will not start boycotting everytime I don't get my way.
I am in that group that owns both RIS and NXT... while I'd love to be able to integrate them, it's not a deal breaker for me - I'd rather give LEGO an opportunity to explain how this will work or why it won't be available.
- May 25, 2006, 5:40:00 AM
Wasn't a threat, just an observation. Everyone who is aware that there are two versions (retail & educational) and whose budget only allows for one purchase has asked 'which should I get'.
If the same cost answer is 'you can't use legacy items with the retail set but you can with the educational set' then the choice is clear, and would require a cancellation of the retail set and a preorder of the educational one.
I wasn't advocating a boycott, god forbid -- just a change of which set to purchase... retail or educational.
It still baffles me that there are such vast discrepancies between the two 'arms' of Lego.
However, it *is* a question that needs answers, as many of the folks I've talked to have indicated 'I'll just purchase a few converter cables later'... But if the firmware doesn't support that option, it's not an option.

The gargoyle is one of the more interesting and intriguing types of decor. Unlike animal garden sculptures that show realistic depictions of real animals such as lions and bears, the typical gargoyle statue shows a mythical, intimidating monster. Their appearance couldn't really be described as being pleasant in any way so it seems rather odd that they have been a popular form of garden statuary for centuries. However, long before they made their way into gardens, gargoyles were a common feature on structures for thousands of years. Gargoyles in the form of lions can be seen on ancient Egyptian structures and the ancient Greeks used gargoyles with leering faces on many of their temples. Although those gargoyles were used as sculptural decor, their main function was to divert water off of roofs.
During the Middle Ages in Europe, gargoyles had the same function but this was combined with a lot more symbolism. Gargoyles began to take on more frightening forms to scare off any evil spirits that might want to enter a castle or church as well as to remind church goers that the devil and his minions were always watching and waiting to tempt the unwary. In present times, we use gargoyles in the garden and on our houses because they are simply interesting, unique decor. Whether you display a cute statue like Emmett the Gargoyle or a masterpiece of terror like Scatheus, Guardian of the Shadows, a gargoyle in the garden provides a dramatic touch.

Shufu ware porcelains, identified by the small characters shu and fu in the molded decoration, were produced at Jingdezhen during the Mongol Yuan Dynasty for ceremonial use in the Shumei Yuan, a bureau of military and civil affairs. They are distinguished by the thick, luanbai, or "eggshell-white," glaze that sometimes obscures their customary floral decoration. Shufu-type wares, without the official shufu inscription, were a common export ware in the Yuan, but only the best examples bore the characters designating them for official use.
- Medium: Porcelain with egg white (luanbai) glaze

- Caption: Plate, 1279-1368. Porcelain with egg white (luanbai) glaze, 1 3/4 x 6 5/8 in. (4.5 x 16.8 cm). Brooklyn Museum, By exchange, 37.135. Creative Commons-BY
- Image:
- Catalogue Description: Plate: straight mouth; shallow curved belly; flat base; small circular foot. Walls of feet are wide. Inner base of foot has a nipple-like protrusion that suddenly rises. Saggars are used in the firing method. Base of plate and inner wall have stamped decoration of interlocking floral sprigs. Exterior is undecorated. In between floral sprigs on cavetto are 2 stamped characters "shu" and "fu", which are Yuan dynasty military organization, "shumi yuan," produced as Jingdezhen Ding ware porcelain. Luanbai glaze on interior and exterior. Translucent white glaze with slightly blue-green tone, similar to egg white color. Luanbai glaze has a low calcium content (about 5%). Potassium and sodium content is higher. Thus glaze sticks better. Firing range is rather wide. Lower section of circular foot and interior foot are unglazed. Daily used ware. Condition: Intact, traces of brown earth encrustation still adhere to the base and the foot rim, and there are several small brown kiln blemishes on the inside of the bowl. The glaze in the center is considerably scratched. Old Accession Card: Shallow medium-sized bowl, Shu Fu ware, with a thick straight foot rim, a slightly convex base, broad shallow sides that spread outward for some distance before rounding upwards. Quite white porcelain covered save on the base with a very pale bluish white glaze which stops in an even line on the foot rim, and decorated on the inside with undulating lotus scrolls in low relief under the glaze. Also modeled in relief under the glaze are two characters placed opposite to each other on the inside of the rim, Shu Fu, literally, "pivot place" i.e. Imperial Palace. Traces of brown earth incrustation still adhere to the base and the foot rim, and there are several small brown kiln blemishes on the inside of the bowl. The glaze in the center is considerably scratched. The characters Shu Fu on the inside have led to the designation of this bowl as Shu Fu ware, a Yuan ware mentioned in the Chinese ceramic literature. See R.L. Hobson "Chinese Pottery and Porcelain" Vol. I, p. 161-162: "The 'Ko Ku Yao lun' which was written about sixty years later than the publication of the memoirs of Chiang, (early 14th century) supplements this information in a short paragraph on 'Old Jao Chou wares.' Of the Yuan wares, it says 'those with small foot and molded ornament (yin hua) and the specimens inscribed inside with the characters shu fu are highly valued... "The "T'ao lu" has a paragraph on the shu fu wares which reflects (not always very clearly) these earlier accounts, adding that 'this is the ware made in the private (min) factories and supplied to the palace; the material has to be fine, white and unctuous clay, and thin specimens were preferred...Inside them were written the characters shu fu as a mark. At the time the private factories also issued imitations of these wares; but of the porcelains destined for the Emperor, only ten out of a thousand or one out of a hundred were selected. The private factories were unable to achieve uniform success.' The author has inserted the gilt and enameled, and a large number of the other wares mentioned in the Memoirs of Chiang and the ko lu yao lun in that irresponsible fashion which makes much of the Chinese ceramic literature exceedingly difficult to handle. Indeed, one is tempted to ask what was his authority for the statement that the 'private factories' made the shu fu ware, in spite of the very circumstantial tone of the passage." The identification of this piece as Shu Fu ware, in spite of the foregoing, is by no means certain, and instead it could possibly be an 18th century imitation. However, the potting of the foot is more in the Sung than in the Ch'ing manner, and the lotus scrolls rather resemble Ming work. From these considerations, it would seem that the bowl perhaps might fall between the Sung and Ming periods, and hence after all be good Yuan work.

I do wonder why he left, but it's hard to ignore the coincidence between Windows 8, and Sinofsky's departure... Windows 8, as much as you spin it otherwise, is not doing very well.. and Surface is a piece of garbage.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 16:47
Sorry, but nope. Julie Larson-Green was also one of the folks behind some of the big changes here. She did a lot of work for Office. She was one of the folks that led the way for the Ribbon UI elements. She also is one of the primary people handling design for Windows.
So what you're hoping for and the scenario you are proposing? Not in line with reality.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 16:50
Actually they do. he's been there for well over 20 years. sometimes people, especially in those positions want new challenges and want to go out in the world, remember he has enough money to live the rest of his life, and he can get a new job that will pay even more, or less if he likes the challenge. Sometimes people just want to try something new.
people don't leave good jobs like that for because they are happy. unless what was being done was leading to unhappiness.

Steven Sinofsky, the Microsoft executive in charge of Windows, has left the company.. The changes are effective immediately, and no reason was given for Sinofsky's departure.

Hmm ... Windows 8 released ... executive in charge of Windows booted out.
Interesting coincidence.

It's new, powerful, and packed with the latest technology. In 1955 those words described the first small-block Chevy, the 265, with its passenger car rating of 162hp. Soon after the first 265s hit the showrooms, customers sought even more performance and Chevrolet responded with the 283 in '57 and then the 327 in '62. By the late '60s, high-winding 302 engines and powerful 350s continued the trend. By '70, Chevrolet released the big-inch 400 small-block. Later, custom bore and stroke 365 small-blocks, 377, 383, and 406 displacements appeared on the hot-rodding scene.
Today, Vortec and LS-series engines are excellent performers and provide very acceptable fuel economy. The most powerful factory small-block Chevy so far (the '06 427ci LS7 engine) boasts titanium rods, a dry-sump oiling system, an all-aluminum block and heads, and 505 horses. This LS7 small-block will shove an '06 Z06 Vette from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, cover the quarter-mile in 11.50 seconds, and continue on to 195 mph; and it's EPA rated at 26 mpg on the highway. Who said good gas mileage cars are boring?
What this all means is that the small-block Chevy has both a tremendous history and a spectacular future. GM has estimated that through 2005, more than 90 million small-block Chevys have been produced. Here we'll chronicle the benchmarks, how hot-rodding has improved power over the years, and where GM development is currently headed. Better cylinder heads, carburetion, fuel injection, improved bore and stroke relationships, and more have all been directed at the engine that is arguably the most hot-rodded in the world. As always, the small-block Chevy is powerful and packed with technology.
Efficient Design With the Gen I
In the early '50s, Chevrolet engineers specifically designed the small-block engine in a compact size to allow a streamlined production process. New innovations, such as greensand casting, meant the block could be cast upside down, thus reducing the amount of cores. The small size of the block provided an economical use of iron and required less cooling effort in service. To provide high-rpm operation, engineers designed lightweight rocker arms from stamped steel. The 265 engines used a 3.00-inch stroke and a 3.75-inch bore. The new small-block's cylinder heads with a cross-flow port structure and wedge combustion chambers allowed for a broad powerband. The new small-block engine was designed with 4.4-inch bore centers (measured as the center of one cylinder to the next) and is the same dimension carried through to the Gen III small-block designed in '97. Other new designs for the small-block Chevrolet included:
* Hollow pushrods to carry oil to the cylinder heads
* A one-piece intake manifold combining the water outlet, exhaust heat riser, distributor mounting, and lifter valley cover in a single component
* An internal oiling system
1 HP/CI Early On
Although at the upper end of engine options, dual quads had been offered on the 265 with a high-lift cam and 240 hp, the era demanded not only more power, but also broadband performance. So the new-for-'57 283 with its 0.125-inch larger bore (3.875-inch bore, 3.00-inch stroke) was available with the standard two-barrel, four-barrel, dual quads, or a new mechanical fuel-injection system that produced 283 hp from 283 ci (1 hp per cubic inch). All cylinder heads for the 265s and 283s used 1.72/ 1.50-inch valves.
For '62 Chevrolet's new hot motor, the 327 (the first small-block with a four-inch bore) packed a wallop. Besides the carbureted versions, a fuel-injected 327 with 360 hp was optional in the '62 Corvette. The cylinder heads used on this engine (and some others of the era) were the 3782461X head with 1.94/1.50-inch valves. These heads had the commonly found double-hump shape on the end of the head. It should be noted that beginning in '64 and through '68, cylinder heads with the double-hump shape also used 2.02-inch intake valves (aka fuelie heads). Castings with 2.02-inch intake valves were also used on the 365hp (Holley carburetion) and 375hp (Rochester fuel-injection) Corvette 327 engines. Except for some early truck applications, it would not be until '69 that all small-block cylinder heads would feature accessory mounting holes.The '67 model year had a lot of small-block excitement. First, the new 350 engines available in the Camaro debuted, and the special high-performance 302 Z/28 package Camaro was released. The 350ci engine with its 3.48-inch stroke and 4.00-inch bore provided good low-speed torque and power. The Camaro-only 350 engine (for '67) produced 295 hp from a two-bolt main block. Other passenger cars would have 350s beginning in '69.
The 302 Z28 engine is the smallest V-8 ever installed in a Camaro to date. It is also the only engine available new in any '67-69 Z28. Based on a 4.00-inch bore and a 3.00-inch stroke, the little engine made lots of power above 5,000 rpm and very little below. This engine's 290hp rating was very underrated. In stock trim, actual power was in the mid-300hp range. These engines were designed specifically to compete in SCCA road racing and came with a huge resume of hardcore race parts: a Holley 800-cfm carburetor, big-runner aluminum intake manifold, 2.02 heads, a high-lift mechanical camshaft (0.485-inch lift), 11:1 compression, full-floating wrist pins, a forged crankshaft, and more. Because the engine did not produce much torque and had such high rpm capability beyond 7,000 rpm, 302 Z28s were only offered with four-speed transmission and were not available with air conditioning. Chevrolet also sold several cross-ram-intake setups (two staggered four-barrel Holley carburetors) and special race camshafts for the early Z28s that helped the 302 gain even more high-rpm power. With some modifications these engines would easily produce power well above 400 horses (at very high rpm).
Cylinder-head flow rates of the era were marginal at best. A typical street/strip small-block with 2.02 cylinder heads would need extensive and expensive port work to produce impressive power from the small (by today's standards) ports. Furthermore, typical cylinder head modifications did not produce good low-speed torque, so performance cars would generally need very low rearend ratios to run in the 12s. Often a 3,500-pound car with a healthy small-block would need at least a 4.56 rearend ratio or lower to run quicker than 13s. This was often the reason many hot-rodders of the era would run big-block Chevrolet V-8s. Here, the higher torque levels (from longer strokes and lots of cubic inches) would mean a 3,500-pound car could run 12s with just 3.73 gears.
Power & Adaptability
For '68 Chevrolet released a larger low-performance 307 engine as a replacement for the 283. The 307 used a 283 bore and a 327 stroke (3.875-inch bore and a 3.25-inch stroke). Production of the 307 ran until '73. By the mid-'70s, the automotive market began to change dramatically and GM sought to raise fuel economy and reduce emissions. One particular displace-ment introduced was the 305 engine (released in '76), which used a 265 bore and a 350 stroke (3.75-inch bore, 3.48-inch stroke). Other new displacements included the 262 (released in '75) and the 267 (released in the later '70s).
By the '80s, the electronic carburetor, on-board computers, and, later, electronic fuel injection helped the small-block achieve improved drivability, lower emissions, and better fuel economy. Through most of this time, the 305 small-block was used on a widespread basis in almost all Chevrolet V-8 cars. The general exceptions were some Camaros, all Corvettes, and most B-body police-package cars, which all used a variation of the 350 engine. Into the mid-'80s, small-block Chevys with factory fuel injection came with roller-lifter camshafts, one-piece rear main seals, and redesigned valve covers secured at four top center points (instead of four around the sides). In the Camaro and Corvette, tuned-port electronic fuel injection helped to significantly raise power and torque levels. By the late '80s, lower-performance Camaros and B-body Caprices received throttle-body fuel-injection systems to replace the electronic Quadrajet carburetors.
The Gen II
By the early '90s, Chevrolet introduced the Gen II small-block in high-performance cars beginning with the Corvette. First known as the LT1 and later the LT4, the Gen II featured new, low-friction internal components and reverse-flow cooling to facilitate the most powerful small-blocks since the musclecar era. When this engine first appeared in the '92 Corvette as an LT1, it developed 300 hp. This engine featured revised cylinder heads, reverse-flow cooling, and OptiSpark ignition.
The engine later became available in '93-97 Z28s and '94-96 Impala SS and police-package Caprices. In the '93 Camaro, the engine developed 275 hp (which improved in a few short years) with tuned-port fuel injection, while in the Caprice, the LT1 produced 260 hp. There are four basic differences between the Camaro LT1 and the Impala SS/Caprice LT1. First, the Camaro uses aluminum heads, as opposed to the steel on the Impala SS/Caprice. Second, the Camaro's compression ratio is 10.5:1, compared to the Impala SS/ Caprice's 10:1. Third, since the Impala SS/Caprice weighs about 650 pounds more, the computer programming is different. And finally, the Camaro's stock exhaust system backpressure is 10 inches of mercury, whereas the Impala SS/Caprice's is 13 inches. Some Gen II features, including the low profile and high-flow intake manifold, used technology that would be designed in the all-new Gen III.

Feb 18, 2004
BELLWOOD, Ill. - With 13 seconds left in the semi-final game of the biggest college basketball tournament, Duke netted a pair of free throws to lead them to a 79-77 victory over UNLV in 1991. Although one of countless remarkable moments in college basketball history, is it the most memorable? For nearly 40 years, Accent Highlighters have been making their mark in schools, homes and offices across the nation, and now Accent wants sports fans to help decide which moment is worthy of being highlighted in the history books. Accent Highlighters today announced it is partnering with The V Foundation for Cancer Research and legendary Notre Dame coach and broadcast analyst Richard "Digger" Phelps, to launch a nationwide search asking hoops fans to "highlight" their most memorable men's college basketball moment at AccentHighlighter.com. Phelps, who successfully led the Irish for 20 years, was responsible for numerous unforgettable moments like these during his tenure. "Year after year, college basketball's post-season tournament provides fans with some of the most impressive plays in all of sports," said Phelps. "It's exciting that Accent is teaming up with The V Foundation to raise money for cancer research, while highlighting the passion for basketball that is shared by millions. I am proud to be working on this program." In fact, for every vote cast in this poll, Accent will make a matching dollar donation to The V Foundation. A total donation of up to $25,000 will be made by Accent in the name of the school crowned with the title of "most memorable moment." "College basketball has always been an important part of life for the Valvano family," said V Foundation CEO Nick Valvano.
"Having Digger participate in this memorable moments campaign is very special. Personally, he was my teammate and roommate at Rider College, and has been a family friend for more than 40 years. Digger's involvement in this worthwhile program would make Jim very proud." To identify 10 of the most unforgettable moments in college basketball history, Accent recently surveyed more than 100 sports writers across the country. The results yielded the following (in chronological order): 1. The first all African-American starting 5 for Texas Western (UTEP) defeat Kentucky in 1966 2. UCLA's Bill Walton's 21-of-22 performance against Memphis State in the 1973 final 3. Al McGuire's tearful 1977 farewell victory from Marquette 4. Michigan State's Magic Johnson versus Indiana State's Larry Bird in the 1979 championship game 5. North Carolina's Michael Jordan hitting a jump shot to win the 1982 championship game against Georgetown 6. N.C. State's last-second win and Wolfpack coach Jim Valvano's subsequent reaction in the 1983 championship game against Houston 7. Villanova's 1985 upset over Georgetown in the championship game 8. Bo Kimble's tribute to Hank Gathers when he a made left-handed free throw during Loyola Marymount's improbable tournament run of 1990 9. Christian Laettner's turnaround jumper for Duke in the 1992 East Regional final 10. UCLA's string of seven consecutive championships... while not a single moment, it sure was memorable Sports fans can select their favorite play from among the 10 listed at AccentHighlighter.com. Online voting will continue through tournament playoffs (March 22), with the winning play to be announced in April during the week of the tournament championship.x
"Accent Highlighters are used daily to highlight important information - from textbooks to tournament bracket sheets, so why not use them to highlight the greatest college basketball moments," said Greg Stoner, president of Sanford, makers of Accent Highlighters. "We're proud to team up with Digger and The V Foundation to give fans a chance to be heard, raise money for a great cause, and to show their enthusiasm for this wonderful game."The V Foundation for Cancer Research The V Foundation for Cancer Research was established in 1993 by ESPN and legendary basketball coach and broadcaster, the late Jim Valvano. The Foundation is dedicated to funding research to locate the causes and develop the cures for the over 100 diseases that are cancer. To date, The V Foundation has raised more than $32 million and funded more than 190 cancer research grants. The V Foundation is nationally recognized for the efficiency with which it operates, directing 85 cents of every dollar raised to research. Join us in the quest to make Jim Valvano's final dream a reality - that victims will become survivors and that this disease that claims the lives of so many of our loved ones, will devastate no more.

Researchers at UNSW have for the first time used a cochlear implant to regrow auditory nerves and restore hearing in guinea pigs.
Researchers at the University of New South Wales report they have used a cochlear implant to regrow auditory nerves and restore hearing quality in adult guinea pigs.
Scientists have created a 3D-printed cartilage ear with an antenna that extends hearing far beyond the normal human range.
Google says Glass will have a a 5-megapixel camera capable of 720p video, 16GB of storage, and will vibrate the bones in your head.
Google's upcoming Internet glasses will use vibrations to send sound, instead of traditional speakers, according to a filing with the FCC.
The ear's cochlea houses a natural battery containing ions that create a tiny electrical voltage. Researchers are developing chips with such low-power demand that this voltage just might be enough to power them.
Ever wished you could watch a surgical procedure unfold? Seattle's Swedish Medical Center is getting set to share a play-by-play of a cochlear implant operation.
Electrical engineers unveil a prototype the size of a pencil eraser that would reside in the middle ear instead of worn externally behind the ear.

I'm no scientist, but I think the natural ingredients, in addition to the more speedy synthetic substances, is what makes Hangover Joe's superior to 5-Hour Energy. At no point did I feel the inevitable lag that you get from consuming excessive coffee either. Put simply, Hangover Joe's "The Hangover" Recovery Shot works and I would recommend trying it for yourself.

Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported 1999 Volkswagen Jetta TDI problems
High Mileage Automatic Transmissions May Have Shifting Problems
Shifting issues due to internal problems in high mileage automatic transmissions can be difficult to resolve without transmission replacement.
Power Window May Fail Due to Window Regulator
One or more power windows may fail. Our technicians tell us this is commonly due to a failed window regulator which will require replacement.
Reverse Gear Failures and/or Noise From Manual Transmission
Reverse gear failures and noise in the manual transmission models are common.
Difficult to Diagnose Electrical Issues Are Typically Due to Ground Issues
Electrical issues that are difficult to diagnose—and sometimes intermittent—are typically due to ground wiring issues. The most troublesome ground locations are under the battery or at the engine.
Wrong Anti-Freeze/Coolant May Cause Heater Core Leaks
Heater core leaks are common in this model, more so if the wrong anti-freeze/coolant is used in the cooling system.

A proposed fight between ex-light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida and former welterweight champ Nick Diaz isn't happening, contrary to previous indications.
UFC President Dana White said circumstances in Diaz's life will prevent it from happening at the moment.
What are those? Anyone's guess, like most of the day-to-day details of the former Strikeforce champ's existence.
"Diaz didn't turn it down," White said following UFC Fight Night 26 at Boston's TD Garden. "There's other things going on with Diaz. There's other things going on with Diaz."
White declined to go into details about why Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) wasn't able to fight Machida (19-4 MMA, 11-4 UFC), whom he offered as a potential opponent after a recent conversation.
The UFC president thought he would put the matchup together after UFC matchmaker Joe Silva recommended it. Diaz, who retired after an unsuccessful bid for the welterweight title at this past March's UFC 158 event, had been talking about going to middleweight. Machida, who's fought the bulk of his career at 205 pounds, was bound for the same destination.
But just because they had the same idea didn't mean they belonged together.
"That was a bad idea, the Diaz-Machida thing was," White said. "I'll throw Joe Silva under the bus again. That was Joe Silva's idea. It was a bad idea."
Machida recently was linked to a fight with Vitor Belfort, but that too went by the wayside.
"I wanted Machida to fight Vitor Belfort, but Vitor Belfort is his own matchmaker, apparently," White said. "He wants to make his own fights."

I feel like I got broadsided with this new Hippie Punch-Gate thing going on in the liberal inner sphanctum (that's no a typo...think about it). Apparently David Axelrod got some frisky from a liberal blogger who is tired of Obama forcing them to do the electoral walk of shame(?)
That tension burst out into the open when [Crooks and Liars blogger Susan] Madrak directly asked Axelrod: "Have you ever heard of hippie punching?" That prompted a long silence from Axelrod.
"You want us to help you, the first thing I would suggest is enough of the hippie punching," Madrak added. "We're the girl you'll take under the bleachers but you won't be seen with in the light of day."
This caused a lot of confusion. Especially since I thought hippies wouldn't be able to even use computers unless they figured out how to convert them into bongs.
So after a day or some of stirring the pot (pun intended) Madrak finally answered the question of what a hippie punch is.
Basically, after Axelrod told us how wonderful we were and how much they needed us to close the enthusiasm gap in this election, I called him on it. Like, yo Dave, here we are, liberal activists who give money and GOTV, and the White House needs to punch us in public so no one thinks they take us seriously?
She could've saved us all some trouble if she had put it in way that actually made sense, like dippie punch.
She also could've said donkey punch. This was her chance to do for women what Richard Pryor did for the "n-word."
I may start using it anyway...you know...for the good of liberal women everywhere of course.
