Post subject: Ultimate Basic Extension for the C64
Ive been dreaming about the ultimate basic extension for the C64 for a few years. I've mentioned before about doing a project similar to this.
There was many basic extensions for the C64 made in the 80s but there are a few problems with them
No support for newer hardware like the 1581, mice, etc
No support for newer routines and things like fast loaders, tracker music, IFLI graphics, etc
Take up too much memory leaving little free Basic space for your code
Some do not feature run time modules - so you need the basic extension cart or disk to run your program
So here is my idea Create a new basic extension for the C64 that would be the ultimate Basic Extension. The thing about basic extensions is that they may have lot of new commands but each command takes up precious memory space. So here is my idea would it be possible to create a library of new commands and then come up with a way for the programmer to choose which commands that he wants to use for his program? For example, if I am designing a game that will be on the text screen I dont need 30+ graphic mode commands such as circle, line, fill, etc to be in memory since Im not using the graphic mode in the first place. By just having the commands that I need I could save RAM space and that would give me more space to use for my BASIC program.
This library of commands could either be stored on a disk or could all be loaded into an REU unit and each command could be brought into the C64 memory as needed. But a runtime module with only the commands needed for the program could be created so the program could be run a stock C64 without the need for special hardware. Also in this way more commands could be created as time goes on.
Also with a REU it would be possible to create a programming studio of sorts that would be preloaded into the REU. Maybe kind of like the way SEUCK is laid out. The user could press a key combo and then the studio menu would pop up kind of like a freezer on a cartridge. The basic code in the C64 could be stored in the REU ram and then another program could be swapped in. There could be a sprite editor, character editor, paint program, etc. - all at the programmers disposal this would allow for easy editing of the elements of the program instead of having to save the BASIC program to disk and then load each program - do the editing save it and then reload the BASIC program.
So is this a crazy idea or is it actually a possible project that could be done? Any takers out there?

As much as I love my 64, there is no excuse for the basic being so poor. I have messed with a few of these extensions over the years - simons basic being one of the better ones (I can't believe how young he was when he wrote that), but all of them still have quite serious limitations. I'd love to see a modern take on this, especially in Cart/easy flash format.

The problem being is that there are so many out right now, they just get bloated. I know the next two items I am about to say are kernels and not extensions you load afterwards but I just wanted to show what is already out there. You got S-JiffyDOS that can turn JiffyDOS function keys on and off as well as the wedge. You have PiffyDOS that can bank your memory into an REU and retrieve it for later. Good for programmers since they can save what they have quickly and try out a new routine. If they don't like it then they can bring back the memory snapshot. Very helpful. Both of these are overlays to JiffyDOS so you'll have to make sure you have a license if you plan to use these. I just brought them up as examples.
Also, you have the new extension for the RR-Nets guys. I remember someone making a program that you load that has some extra extensions for networking. Making it easy to call instead of having to write a lot of code.
All good ideas, but the main purpose I use for my 64 is to play games and listen to stereo SIDs.
However, with all that being said. By using a REU, you could possibly load a huge assortment of extensions in there. Like the RR-Net one and others combined. Have it as an EasyFlash.crt that would put itself into the REU and drop to a ready prompt awaiting you import.
Just thing with my fingers. LOL!

I first programmed in Sinclair basic on Spectrum and later worked in basic 2.0 on C-64. It was much less comfortable but also allowed me to understand how the HW works better, because of all those POKEs I had to use.
The question is, in 2012, on such a slow machine, does it make sence to build such an avanced Basic interpreter? Who really needs that in 2012? Definitely not demo / game coders. Who else writes things for C-64 today?
Take a look at Batari Basic for Atari 2600. Whereas it allows nerds to create games, a product is never a top class one, because precise game design and timing (assembly langugae) is required to squeeze out the maximum performance.

All Purpose Symbolic Instruction code.
Basic is a launch pad to more advanced programming languages. Some early commercial C64 games were written in Basic but eventually the vast were pure ML because no basic on the C64 can take full advantage of speed or other resources. Many of those commercial Basic programs had guess what - ML subroutines.
Basic is a pig - once you learn it you move on to ML. Time to take the training wheels off. If you don't want to ride a bike without training wheels you probably shouldn't be on a bike.
Groepez is right.
No one who has the talent to write 'Ultimate Basic extensions' is going to waste their time on such a pointless endeavor unless there are significant financial incentives.
Conversely those who want 'Ultimate Basic extensions' lack the programming abilities to make it happen.

Hmmm... I am kinda' on the fence in regards. groepaz and Isepic are correct. If you really want to program properly for the C64 ML is the way to go.
However, one thing that the 64 had going for that the MACs, Windows, and Linux does not have is that you are already in BASIC once you turn on your computer (without cartridges, etc...) Unlike the other operating systems where you had to have separate program to write in or run with. It is ready to go. I looked and saw a program that did a simple task in BASIC. Very simple and to the point. Could of it have been done in ML? Sure it could of and ML could do a lot more then the restrictions and slow speeds brought on by BASIC. The reason I brought this program up is that it has no graphics or game play. Just simple instructions to do something. It would be nice if there were some more that you could do to improve things. Such as BASIC 8 were it gave easy ways to do plotting versus lengthy coding.
Imagine loading a SID into memory and saying PLAYSID"<START ADDRESS>:<STOP ADDRESS>:<PLAYER ADDRESS>" from BASIC and you start hearing a SID playing without the need to load an other program in that someone wrote. The commands do not have to be just for programming games or demos, but shortcuts for getting around and doing tasks that used to take hours of programming just a few seconds of typing. Or someone wanting to program quick instructional program that quick prints a graph or does a task.
Why am I on the fence about it? Back in the day, I believe it had its use. However, who is the audience today? A select few collectors of the 64 and some others who showed interest? A pretty big undertaking for not a big return. Just the education you get for programming it and knowing you did it. Would be nice if someone done this for a college course or something.
Reminds me of these software companies putting out graphical games engineered to the hilt with different music per area, graphics, etc... Then came a couple of kids that all they did is write BASIC programs and put them in the back of a magazine for people to type it in their selves and banked the cash.

A decent port of BBC BASIC to the 64 would be superb, with its structured programming constructs, inline assembler and fast execution speed. Pity that this effort
is so poor.

More like going from a fully assembled and tested bike to building your own bike from scratch. Sure, you have more flexibility and can customize it to do exactly what you want, once you learn how to weld the frame together, work out the gear ratios, mold your own tubes and tires, etc.

So what if there's a limited audience and little or no financial incentive, if you enjoy working on it and you learn from the experience then I say do it!
If a few other people show an interest in your project then that's a bonus. Don't listen to the nay sayers! (Though in all honesty I did and I abandoned my basic compiler project
Good luck.

I'll disagree with you here... I think Commodore had the best BASIC around. I felt it was way better than what was offered on the Apple II machines. Now granted, much of my love for Commodore BASIC has less to do with the commands and the language and more to do with those things that are inherently "Commodore."
For example, I love the screen editor. It was so easy to list a program, and cursor up to a line and change one piece of code. I also loved how easy it was to change colors and use little graphics characters. I loved how you had the "quotes" mode that would allow you to store things like cursor movements and color changes inside a variable or print statement.
In my opinion, the only thing the C64 lacked was graphics and sound commands, and maybe some basic disk commands. I never cared for the way you were required to "LOAD" the directory, erasing whatever program you had in RAM. I never cared for BASIC 7 on the C128 because it just seemed overly bloated and slow. However, I loved the BASIC 3.5 on the Plus/4.
Of course.. I'm trying to keep things in context for the time-frame that it was being sold. Obviously somebody today could create a much better high-level language for the C64. But for its time, I think its BASIC was great.

For me almost every contemporary machine had a better basic language. The lack of direct graphic and sound commands was a real pain especially given the capabilities of the hardware in the Vic20 and the 64. It was slow too compared to a lot of its peers.

My friends Sony laptop (pcg-71318l VPCEB33FM) had what I believed to be a faulty backlight so I ordered a replacement LCD. The screen worked fine for a few days but now the backlight is out again. Do you think it could be the inverter or should I request a new screen?
Page 1 of 1
screen or inverter?
#2 Posted 18 April 2012 - 05:15 PM
just the backlight? or the whole screen?
if it happened to the backlight, could be faulty inverter
if it happened to the backlight, could be faulty inverter
#3 Posted 18 April 2012 - 05:48 PM
yea the back light went out a few days after replacing the screen which makes me believe that the inverter is somehow the cause. Someone mentioned that a faulty inverter will eventually kill the backlight which I think is what happened.

Andy,To each his own. Values are subjective. But, I see no reason to bring kids into this sport. There is no realistic hope of them earning a decent living at it or going to the Olympics. The sport has nothing to offer except health benefits, which could be attained by using it to train for another sport. I'd actually say, from my value-set, it would be immoral to bring kids into the USAW, since they WILL be treated like crap eventually.

text: From the trailblazing Canadian global electronica project comes a propulsive live recording of this internationally recognized band. Living for live represents the first time Ecccodek's potent blend of dub, world grooves and textured electronica has been faithfully captured in performance. Recorded on their 2011 Remixtasy tour, it's instantly clear why the band continues to slay audiences 10 years and 4 albums into its career.When Eccodek released Remixtasy in late 2011, it was dubbed a 'remixtrospective', because of the album's career spanning collection of Eccodek remixes, created by some of the top producers in the global fusion scene. When it came time to tour Remixtasy, the band decided to take the album's vibe to the next level by learning and playing the remix versions of their well loved catalogue. Listening to Living for Live, we think you'll feel almost like you were there... Almost.In advance of Remixtasy's release, they rebuilt the rhythm section, adding the double threat of bassist Marc De Vos and drummer Adam Bowman to the longtime core group of Andrew McPherson (keys, flute), Deliveryboy (samples, beats), Brent Rowan (saxes, flutes) and Jason Shute (congas). The band has never sounded as vital and inspired as they do now.Over a 10 year career, Eccodek has amassed an impressive list of achievements - a Juno nomination in 2009 (Canada's Grammy's), 2 Canadian Music Awards (Best World Group), a performance in London, England's Trafalgar Square before 5,000 fans, releases on Buddha Bar, Six Degrees, White Swan, Supperclub, hit #2 on CMJ's New World Chart and represented Canada in National Geographic's GeoRemix project. Currently at work on their 6th release (Spring 2013), a collaboration with Malian griot Jah Youssouf, Eccodek's innovative take on global fusion is poised to send them triumphantly into the 2nd decade of their career.

Wow what an adventure with the dogs! So far we've been pretty lucky with our lady she is a laid back sheltie that is about four years old.
As for knitting I just splurged and bought myself a nice wool/silk blend to make into a lacy scarf. It just feels nice as I knit it up.

A trampoline???? Oh geez! Now, I don't blame the poochie for not liking the darn thing. It crashes everything! When there are bodies home to monitor...I let him out of it. This morning I almost sent him to a nice "farm". He wanted to go out about 4am and I tried to deal but he bolted with me attached to the leash (back stairs are not good for him yet). So I went crashing through the front storm door face first (broke the door) and skidded across the porch on my belly. Little dog escaped but was back before I could find a slice of ham to tease her back with. It was raining...of course. Big Dog never went to the bathroom. I climbed back into bed bleeding, muddy, and wet. Hit the snooze twice. When I finally rolled out....it was just like that. I had to roll. I could barely stand! This 52 (almost 53) year old bod is not able to handle that kind of abuse. Lots of ibuprofin and a very long shower later, I was off to work. Needless to say, I was a tad late. Both dog and son seem to be feeling better tonight...me? I'm off to bed early tonight!!

Wow, StarMeadow, I just re-read your post What a day! and I sure hope everything is melted by now - it was 61 degrees this morning here, supposed to be 20 tonight so we'll have a glaze of ice over everything again.
My lab mix had the cone of shame, too, after he decided my cold frame made out of old storm windows looked like a trampoline. He got cut up pretty good, several stitches in one of his ears. I can't remember how long he had to wear it, but he DID NOT like it.

I've joined a couple of local knitting groups. I haven't been back to one of them, since the talk turned political in November and I found out I was in a huge minority, politically speaking... I would like to go back, if they stick to the knitting... So to speak...
Tomorrow night there is a new group kicking off even closer to my home at my local library and I plan on attending.

Oh...and just to address the fiber fixation from the fall posts....ME TOO!!! Right now I have two different pairs of socks on needles. I got hung up for a minute with those ruffly scarves with the lacey/holey yarn. I HATED knitting with that stuff till I found these homemade wooden needles about 3 1/2-4" long. Wow! What a difference! Also had to re-roll the yarn on a toilet paper tube to keep it wide for knitting. Plus I have some yarn set aside for two hats (one for me even!) I also need to get going on something wonderful for my grand neice's baby girl due here in June. Shoot! Since I'm "babysitting" sick kids/critters today...I may work a bit on those projects! (Even though things need cleaning and laundry needs doing) LOL

I've got a sick kid and a "broken" dog this morning. It was such a mess out by us. I kept hearing this odd alarm sound and thought one of the neighbor's car alarms was going off. Nope. School bus in the ditch right at the end of our cul-de-sac. Precariously tipped to one side full of kids. You could barely move on the road it was so icy. Another bus had come down the road and was afraid to move to either side (to avoid the ditches) and was blocking the main road. Then another bus came to get the kids...and it blocked our whole drive because that was the only level spot. I had tried to take my daughter to work but was blocked in...we went the other way, only to have it blocked by a truck that had attempted to turn around to avoid the bus mess and got stuck spinning it's tires cross-ways across that part of the road. Needless to say...everyone was a little late this morning. I don't believe there were any injuries...no EMTs ever arrived. -- Trying to get the dog out the door and down the stairs in his new "cast" and cone-of-shame is quite the experience as well. 98 pounds of VERY unhappy black lab. --- Add to that one really sick 12-year-old.... What a morning already! (of course I've been up with the dog since 2ish)

I was just thinking that I don't remember thunderstorms in Michigan in January. I was surprised when I woke up to thunder and heavy rain. It took me a minute to realize what the noise was.
Crazy weather!!1

Oh my...I haven't heard of the possible tornadoes yet! I'm in Battle Creek and we get them really bad every spring because we're in a slight valley. The house we were living at a couple years ago got hit really hard by that Memorial Day storm that came through. We had 16 massive trees on one acre that got completely uprooted from the ground. It was a mess. Now we are in our very own farmhouse and I dare those storms to come at me again! I won't have it. This house is protected.by the Almighty! Still...not looking forward to that possibility. I don't like storms much.

Since Halloween is just around the corner I was wondering if anyone has started making a gifts for Christmas? I have an afghan that I started for my husband but his shift changed and now someone is always home so I can't get it done. I have 3 more to do, luckily 1 I have about 3/4 done. I have the yarn for the second one and the third well..... I still need to get the yarn. A few months ago I came up with a finger-less glove pattern. I made a pair for everyone but now I need to find the time to stitch them up. I need to make up an apron for my oldest. The other two got one for last years gifts. I would like to make more things but I don't know if I'll have time or even the inspiration to do it... LOL!

Hey Gals,
I wanted to pass this info along. I looked it up on the website this morn and this looks like it's going to be pretty nice. It's is held at our Fairgrounds here in Oaklnad County. It's called "Weekend in the Country". There are over 125 booths, artisans and antiques, crafts and creations, appraisals, food, live music, live DIY demos. Here is the website to check it out-HCSHOWS.com. So here are the facts. Sept. 29 and 30, Springfield Oaks Park- 12451 Andersonville Rd. Davisburg, $6.00 per day, free parking, free raffles. It looks like a lot of fun. I'm going to check it out this morning on the way to the sewing expo. 10-6 on Sat., 10-5 on Sunday

I have trouble with this because if I had an unlimited budget I would be at a fiber festival every weekend! There is actually one very close to me at Mt. Bruce Station near Romeo (Boardman Road or 38 Mile Road) this weekend. Last weekend I did go to the Third Coast at Wayne State on Saturday, and then stopped at an alpaca farm on the way home from Ohio on Sunday. This year I skipped the Michigan Fiber Festival in Allegan county because I was sick, but I usually go. And then there's the Grand Rapids Machine Knitters spring and fall workshops and the Monroe machine knitters seminar in July, and of course all the wonderful seminars at Crafty Lady in Utica and the classes offered at Country Stitches. Next weekend I have the Eaton Rapids $2/lb yarn sale on my calendar. So you see my dilemna.
I need to stay home long enough to knit something.

Well, I guess I can't say whether it is worth it for you. Personally, I spend two,three days there every year but I thoroughly shop the vendors, stop for the make and takes, listen to some of the free seminars, take some classes. You could cover the vendors in an hour or two. Or skip it this year and sign up for a few classes next year and come for the day. OR spend the $20 to check it out this year and decided whether it's worth it for you to come back next year. Ha! How's that for helping you make up your mind!

I am still debating. I have not registered for any classes and since hubby is expecting me in Grand Rapids area on Saturday, I can't spend the whole day at the sewing expo... Is it worth stopping in for an hour or two? Or will I just be bewildered? (MAYBE I should skip out of work early on Friday and wander over to Novi for a look-see...) If I work from home all night tonight, I could count the hours as "Friday" work...

Rock The World (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 606103) RCA/Cherry Pop (UK), 1988 — Condition: New Copy
5 Star definitely rock the world with this late 80s classic – an upbeat batch of super-catchy tunes that has the group working at their best crossover mode! There's plenty of bassy bits to bump up the bottom of the groove nicely – perfect for the peppy vocals that percolate through most of the numbers – a mix of lead and group singing that almost seems to have learned some key lessons from The Jacksons! Leon Sylvers produced, and wrote a good number of tunes on the record – and Jerry Knight contributes some great work to the record too. Titles include "Another Weekend", "Rock My World", "Godsend", "Free Time", "Physical Attraction", "Someone's In Love", and "There's A Brand New World". CD features lots of bonus tracks – including "Another Weekend (Saturday night mix)", "Rock My World (extra terrestrial dub)", "There's A Brand New World (12" version)", "Let Me Be Yours (rmx)", "Someone's In Love (David Morales US 7" radio)", "With Every Heartbeat (7" mix)", and "Something About My Baby". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Y. 11735- Thursday, November 19, 1970 TERRY WEATHERS BLASTS SCHOOL COMMITTEE A. Terry Weathers, member of the School District 22 board of education, the Nassau- Suffolk School Boards Association and President- Elect of the New York State School Boards Association appearing on behalf of the N- SSBA before the Fleischmann Committee meetirtg at Hofstra University last Friday, called the tax years 1969- 70 and 1970- 71 the worst two years in the history of school tax. Weathers pointed out that many taxpayers in Nassau and Suffolk Counties suffered an increase in their school tax bill during the last two years exceeding their total New York State income tax. The 15 man Fleischmann Committee appointed by the Governor and the Board of Regents is charged with making recommendations on the quality, cost and financing of public education in the state. The group is expected to make their recommendations in the fall of 1971 and is presently embarked on a series of eight public hearings throughout the state. According to Weathers, the Controller of the State, Arthur Levitt, estimates that the New York State taxpayer, with an annual income of $ 10,000 and four exemptions, on the average pays $ 175 in State income tax. The median increase in the school tax bill in Nassau County during the last two years was $ 151.02 on a home worth approximately $ 21,500 and assessed at $ 6,000. In 19 out of 53 districts, the increase ranged from $ 175 to $ 305.34. This is not their total school tax bill, this is just the two- year increase. In western Suffolk County, the two year increases range from $ 80.65 to $ 301.55. If the State had enacted a 20 percent surtax on the income tax returnable to the county of origin lor school aid, as recommended by the Nassau- Suffolk School Boards Association, the increase in the average income tax payment would have been substantially less than the average increase in school taxes. Weathers emphasized that the Legislature and the Governor must enact laws that remove from the local homeowner the present burden of paying for school budgets. In commenting on Weathers presentation, Association President, ( Continued on Page 12) Treasure Chest from Days of Captain Kidd to be on Display on Sunday Looking over the treasurer chest which dates back to the 1600' s and was thought to have been on Captain Kidd's pirate ship is Mrs. Alonzo Gibbs of the Farmingdale- Bethpage Historical Society who will tell about this find which was kept in a house in Farmingdale for many years this Sunday prior to the bus tours of historic interest leaving from the South Farmingdale Library at 1 p. m. and at 3 p. m. Many of the receipted bills found in the chest were from businesses in Farmingdale and Bethpage such as the Stewart brick yard shown in the photograph. ( See story). i » hotoby Jack pokre « s A treasure chest, which is believed to have been aboard Captain Kidd's pirate craft and . taken off by Jacob Conklin in the 1600' s, is on loan to the Farmingdale - Bethpage Historical Society by Ma hi on Ketcham of Speonk and will be on display for the first time this Sunday, November 22 from 3 to 6 p. m. at the South Farmingdale Library. The chest was once in the possession of Alanson Ketcham who lived at 881 South Main Street, Farmingdale Conklin was taken from a merchant vessel upon the high seas and was forced to serve on board Kidd's vessel. Coming soon after into Long Island Sound, Conklin was sent ashore near Huntington to procure water and he made his escape and took up residence in Half Hollow Hills. The Conklin's married into the Ketcham family, and came to Farmingdale in the late 1700' s. The chest is bound in horse-hide with brass studs; it has leather hinges and a sturdy lock. There are traces of the original lining of blue paper which wore out; the second lining is made of newspapers. One dated 1836 and is " The New York Spirit of the Times; A Metropolitan Gazette of the Sporting, Fashionable and Literary World". The other lining is probaby the Hempstead Inquirer and is dated 1840. Although there was no pirate treasure in the chest, there is a wealth of historical material. It includes deeds, mortgages, billheads, receipts, family records such as marriage certificates, old newspaper clippings. The receipted bills date back to the 1860' s and many of the old business firms of Farmingdale are represented: Bausch Lumber Compan>, Thompson Brothers general store; A. T. Stewart Brickyard ( dated 1879) and others. Also in the chest was a straight razor with a horn handle given in 1861 to the grandfather Mahlon Ketcham by Dr. George D. Richmond of Amityville. Also in the chest is an old tweezers. The chest may be seen at the South Farmingdale Library prior to the bus tours of historic sites.

Culver boys fall — Gerson Gonzalez and Clay Gibson both scored 15 points as Culver wrapped up its season on Monday night with a 67-55 loss to host Waldport in a Class 2A Tri-River Conference playoff game. Ryan Fritz and John Slaght added eight points apiece for Culver. Gibson and Slaght both grabbed nine rebounds for the Bulldogs. Culver hit eight three-pointers in the game, led by three from Gonzalez. "We're obviously a lot different team than the last time around," Culver coach Brennan Whitaker said, referring to a lopsided league loss at Waldport in early January. "It was the first playoff game for a lot of these guys, we hadn't been here for a few years." Culver finished with an overall record of 10-15.
Summit competes at state meet — Summit High, the lone Central Oregon cheerleading team to qualify for state, placed 12th among 12 teams in its division Saturday at the 2013 Oregon School Activities Association cheer championships at Portland's Memorial Coliseum. The Storm, competing in the Class 5A Small Division (12 members or fewer), posted a score of 45.48 points. Springfield placed first in the division, with 69.55 points. Summit qualified for the state championships by placing second in its division at the Crusader Classic last month at Jesuit High School in Portland and third earlier this month at the Tualatin Last Chance Cheer Competition at Tualatin High.
Indians get Bourn — Free agent outfielder Michael Bourn has agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract with the Cleveland Indians. Bourn, an All-Star with Atlanta last season, must pass a physical later this week in Goodyear, Ariz., before the deal can be completed. Bourn batted .274 with nine homers, 57 RBIs and 42 steals last season for the Braves. As long as there isn't a hangup, the 30-year-old Bourn, who has remained on the market all winter, will move into the Indians' starting lineup.
M's, Felix close — An announcement on a Felix Hernandez contract extension with the Seattle Mariners could come as early as today as both sides continued the final stages of negotiations. The talks on a contract, nearly completed last week, hit a snag when an "elbow issue" surfaced as part of a physical the pitcher took. Sources have said the issue dealt more with wear and tear noticed during an MRI and could signal a possible problem at some point during the length of the deal, though nothing immediate.
Papelbon discusses use of Toradol — Philadelphia Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon said he and many of his former Boston Red Sox teammates were regularly injected with a legal painkiller called Toradol, according to an ESPNBoston.com report. The drug is not illegal. Phillies team doctors told Papelbon to stop using Toradol upon joining the team before the 2012 season. He estimated that the injections started in 2007. Boston's medical staff has come under scrutiny amid accusations by Curt Schilling that he was advised to use performance-enhancing drugs.Toradol is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug; basically, a more potent Advil. Its usage in baseball is widespread.
Warriors with short sleeves? — The Golden State Warriors have unveiled plans to wear the NBA's "first modern short-sleeve jersey" for three of their remaining home games this season. The Warriors announced Monday that they will debut the alternate uniforms at home against the San Antonio Spurs on Feb. 22. The team will also wear the jerseys for home games against Houston on March 8 and Chicago on March 15. Adidas, the uniform-provider of the NBA, says the jerseys feature "the first-ever super lightweight stretch woven short with maximum ventilation for player comfort. The jersey includes armhole insets with 360-degree stretch fabric that facilitates free range of motion for the arms and shoulders." Adidas hopes to unveil similar short-sleeve jerseys for other NBA teams next season.
Vonn mending — The swelling around Lindsey Vonn's repaired right knee has gone way down a day after surgery and her spirits way up. Back in time for the 2014 Sochi Games? Try possibly back in time for the beginning of the World Cup season in late November. The doctor who operated on Vonn's injured right knee thinks the four-time overall World Cup champion just might return that soon. That's the goal, anyway. And it's looking more promising following the procedure by Dr. Bill Sterett on Sunday to fix Vonn's knee after she shredded two ligaments during a crash last week at the world championships in Schladming, Austria.
New deal for Vick — Michael Vick took a significant pay cut to stay with the Philadelphia Eagles and compete for a starting job. The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback agreed Monday to a restructured three-year contract with the Eagles, just two seasons after signing a $100 million extension that included $35.5 million in guaranteed money. The new deal is essentially for one-year, however. A source familiar with the contract said Vick could earn up to $10 million in 2013 if he meets all his performance incentives.
Erickson to Utah — The Utah Utes have hired Dennis Erickson as co-offensive coordinator. The team announced the move Monday. The 65-year-old Erickson will share the coordinator title with 26-year-old Brian Johnson, a former Utah quarterback. Erickson won national titles in 1989 and 1991 as coach at Miami. He has been a head coach at six universities — three of them Pac-12 Conference schools, including Oregon State.
Public Links gets axe — The U.S. Golf Association is adding its first championship in more than 25 years, getting rid of the U.S. Amateur Public Links in favor of a U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship to meet what it says is a trend at the state and regional level. The Four-Ball Championship — one tournament for men, one for women — will start in 2015. Adding these two tournaments means the end of two others, however. That includes the U.S. Amateur Public Links, which dates to 1922 and has a list of winners that includes Trevor Immelman, Tim Clark and Brandt Snedeker. Also being abandoned is the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links, where Michelle Wie made history in 2003 at age 13 as the youngest winner of a USGA championship for adults.
Operation Puerto case— Two-time Giro d'Italia champion Ivan Basso told a Spanish court Monday he paid the doctor at the center of the Operation Puerto doping scandal for treatment because he thought it would help him win the Tour de France. Basso told Judge Julia Santamaria that he agreed to a complex treatment with Eufemiano Fuentes that cost $94,000 for one year in 2005, adding he knew it was "not a good thing to do." Basso, who drew a two-year doping suspension in 2007, said he paid Fuentes $20,000 in cash but was unable to finish the treatment because the police investigation interrupted it. Basso won the Giro in 2006 and then again in 2010 after his serving his doping ban. Fuentes is the key figure and one of five defendants in the case, which stems from a police raid in 2006 that uncovered blood bags and other doping equipment and implicated many of the world's top cyclists.
Wiggins struggles — Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins finished in a tie for last in the opening leg of the Tour of Oman on Monday, narrowly avoiding a crash to end up more than 80 seconds behind stage winner Marcel Kittel. Alberto Contador finished in the main peloton with the same time as Kittel.
