North Gayton extension opens to traffic
The North Gayton Road Extension opened to traffic on Oct. 6, improving access to northwestern Henrico County and relieving traffic on Pouncey Tract Road and at West Broad Street's intersection with Pouncey Tract and Pump roads.
Henrico Department of Public Works officials recommend that motorists use caution as they acclimate to the new road and traffic patterns. Some work by contractors will be ongoing.
The 2.1-mile project has provided a new, divided, six-lane road that extends North Gayton northward from West Broad. After a bridge crossing of Interstate 64, the North Gayton extension narrows to four lanes at a relocated Bacova Drive before linking to Pouncey Tract. In addition, Shady Grove Road has been widened to four lanes between Pouncey Tract and Twin Hickory Road.
The project includes sidewalks and pedestrian and bicycle paths, and, in some areas, curbs and gutters.
The $48 million North Gayton extension project has been funded entirely by Henrico through the bond referendum approved by county voters in 2005. It was pursued as a design-build project through the Virginia Public-Private Transportation Act, which allowed the contractor to plan and construct the road to the county's specifications for a fixed price. The Board of Supervisors in September 2007 approved a contract with a group led by W.C. English of Lynchburg. Construction started in December 2009.
The North Gayton Extension is projected to carry as many as 15,000 vehicles per day.

The stock clutch that is coupled with any vehicle usually works perfectly, if the rest of the components are still untouched, and performance modifications are left alone. Chances are, if you are reading this article, one of the vehicles sitting amongst your collection has, or had, a clutch issue at one point in its life. Maybe it's due to added power, the way you drive, or simply because it's finally warn out. If it hasn't started slipping yet, eventually, a replacement clutch, upgraded or not, will have to be installed.
Let's just assume that your ride, for the purposes of GM High-Tech Performance, is not stock. That high-performance ride of yours sounds similar to a top-fuel dragster (at least you think so), and consequently, the windows are surely rolled down when cruising around town, creating a custom eight cylinder symphony for your listening pleasure. One time, sitting in rush hour traffic, a sneaky smell wafts its way into your left nostril, and it doesn't smell like raw, unfiltered exhaust. BAM! It hits you. During all of the stop and go rush hour rubbernecking nonsense, you've finally noticed that your clutch is slipping, and it's emitting a putrid scent while doing so. Has it started slipping because you've been dragging your left foot?
Alternatively, at the track, the tree turns green, and like a finely orchestrated and synchronized dance move (…not the sprinkler) the left foot slides rearward, while the right one smashes oh so carefully into that throttle. BAM! You should've cleared 60-feet by now, but instead, you're wondering what that smell is, and that maybe it's time to kick that ill performing stock single disc to the curb, in favor of a beefy twin disc.
Okay, okay. Enough with the scenarios. The clutch is worn out, and it needs to be replaced with an adequate version, single or twin, that's able to hold up to whatever abuse you intend to punish it with. On the contrary, a full race-spec clutch is not the answer for a heads and cam 5th-Gen. Or, is it? Where do you begin? The RAM Clutches team has provided some valuable insight, and graciously provided some pointers with pictures. You see, increased horsepower is often assumed to be the only factor, when in fact, multiple factors are in play. We'll address those "other factors" that impose additional loads on the clutch and transmission, which are gearing, tire selection, and power adders. Finally, we'll take a look at signs of wear, to determine how the clutch beneath your body was lost, in order to find the best replacement.
Tips, with the help of the RAM Clutches team:
If you run a higher gear ratio (lower numerically) it will severely overload the system, meaning your clutch and transmission. For example, a 3.55:1 rear gear will introduce a significantly greater load on the clutch than a 4.10:1. If you've messed with the gearing in your chariot, make sure that you're not going to prematurely wear down your clutch. If it's already slipping, and you know the ratio has changed from stock, the answer is an improved clutch.
Tire Selection
If you run a drag radial, the car will have a tendency to hook the tires rather than spin them. As a result, it too will impose a greater load on the clutch system. Leaving the line on sticky (thanks to a good burnout) tires instantly puts tons (literally) of increased stress through your entire setup. Think of the induced load like a shockwave from an explosion. It's going to go from that engine, all of the way to the tires (clutch in-between), before you get that perfect launch. Even if you're not an eight-second regular, swapping on those stickies may be of concern for your clutch down the road.
Q: Given the amount of bluing on the friction pads of this clutch plate, is it completely toasted? Can it ever give service again?
A: The outer area of the pad has more blue than the inside, indicating that the pressure ring has warped. This disc could not be used on a new plate, and would result in uneven contact on the friction surface
Q: Also, how much bluing can the friction pad take?
A: While it's difficult to predict, it most likely has to do with how much glazing or hot spotting the pressure ring has on it.
Q: Does the pressure plate blue before the friction pad, or versa visa?
A: Usually, the ring will hot spot, or smear, around the same time.

Morris dancing dying out?
Is this a sad thing, or has it's time come? If no-one wants to do it any more, maybe we should just let it lie?
I for one would be sorry to think there would be no more Morris. I was surprised however that the article didn't once mention the obvious solution - let women in. Alright, the tradition would change, but all traditions change, & if it's either that or disappear altogether I think it's worth the upheaval! Of course, maybe women aren't that daft!

The Department of Neurology and Psychiatry will host Grand Rounds from 8-9 a.m. Thursday, July 21, in Schwitalla Hall, 1402 So. Grand Blvd. The entrance is only through the Learning Resource Center (LRC).
The speakers will be Timothy E. Frederick, M.D., and Vincent Gibbons, M.D., who will present a programs about "Acute Status Epilepsy" and "Pediatric Epilepsy."
Frederick, now at St. Louis John Cochran VA Medical Center, graduated from Louisiana State University in New Orleans in 1981. He completed an epilepsy fellowship at the University of Minnesota in 1993. Since then, he directed epilepsy programs at Tulane University and St. John's Mercy in Springfield, Mo.
Gibbons, associate professor of neurology and psychiatry, completed an epilepsy fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital (with Drs. David Walsh and Edwin Trevathan, now the dean of the SLU School of Public Health) and five years on the faculty at Harvard Medical School, doing a combination of epilepsy treatment and initiating the intraoperative evoked potentials program with neurosurgery and orthopedics.
Gibbons came to Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital to the child neurology service in 1987. He left Glennon in 1995 to spend two years in private practice at the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at St. Luke's Hospital in Chesterfield, Mo. In 1997, Gibbons went to the University of Illinois in Peoria for two years, and then spent a year at Southern Illinois University in Springfield. In 2000, he became the child neurologist for Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco, and moved to University of California, San Francisco in 2002 to start the pediatric epilepsy program and inpatient epilepsy monitoring.
In 2007, Gibbons moved back to Albany, N.Y., where he was chief of the child neurology section at Albany Medical College. In 2010, he returned to Cardinal Glennon where he is active in the pediatric and adult epilepsy programs and inpatient monitoring units.

Proposal Location: Blue Nile Gorge,
Wedding Location: Knoxville,
TN, United States
I arrived to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Thursday morning at 6:30 am, and found Richard pretty quickly. He had arrived at 3:45 am and had waited on me in the airport. After a few days in Addis, we decided to take a day trip north of the city. The whole day was fabulous, even the 100km drive was beautiful, dotted with farms and herds of sheep, cattle, and goats being led by young shepherds, with the mountains in the distance.
We hiked out over a 16th century bridge built by the Portuguese, overlooking the Blue Nile Gorge, which is similar in size to the grand canyon... but imagine the grand canyon covered in green terraced fields with monkeys jumping around and waterfalls. Stunning doesn't do it justice. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. After passing by a 3 tiered waterfall and overlooking the massive expanse of the canyon with the Blue Nile river below, we sat down on rock outcrop with the waterfall to our right and a bit behind us and the stunning view ahead of us. It's then that Richard pulled a Blue Nile ring out of his bag and asked me to be his wife. :)
Obviously, I said yes and we remained on the rock overlooking the vista for a long time, soaking up the moment and not wanting it to end.
Eventually though, we hiked back. We drove back through same beautiful countryside, but this time with the sun setting and with a permanent grin on my face. The driver must have known something was up b/c he put in a cd of all American 90's love songs for the drive home. We were mostly serenaded by Celine Dion for the next 100km and for once, that was the perfect music. :)
That was my perfect day in Ethiopia.

Selling licenses does not make 8 a better OS imo
First it was: Nobody is going to buy Windows 8...it will be a disaster
Microsoft: Windows 8 sold 4M upgrades in first weekend
Then: How many were OEM? (4M upgrades you dumbass)
Then: Windows 8 fails internal projections
Microsoft: Windows 8 sells 40M in first month
Then: but Windows 7 is still fastest selling - Windows 8 is a FAIL! or These are OEM sales and sitting on shelves
blah blah
This is beyond funny.

First off, this is not going to be another feature on another perfectly restored or restified Tri-Five Chevy. No it's a lot more than that. It's an interesting story about a couple of baby boomers who not only enjoy their '57 Chevy Bel Air two-door hardtop but have built around it a truly wonderful lifestyle that includes recreational passions directly related to the enjoyment they derive from their seeming obsession to the year 1957.
Loretta and Steve Conway live in Canoga Park, California, northwest of Los Angeles. Steve is about as traditional a car guy as there is, having worked his way up the collector-car food chain starting with a '57 Chevy 210 in high school followed by a fuel injected '57 Corvette. Then he met Loretta, got married and followed this up with a custom '40 Ford pickup and a '39 Ford sedan. But after that, all of a sudden, there were no more hot rods for a while. Kids probably had something to do with it.
But as the '80s drew to a close, he got back into the car scene again, starting off with three '62 Corvettes followed by two '57 Chevys. But again, he lost his enthusiasm as the shows no longer were fun; it all got a bit too serious. "In the mid-'90s I was tired of car shows," says Steve. "The cars were basically art and really not useable. Finally I decided to build another '57, but this time not go crazy and have a car that when I was done, would be able to take other people with us on runs and attend events.
I came across our '57. It was decent without needing a lot of work. Again, I started having fun, just driving and not worrying about dust, dirt, and the occasional rock chip. Of course I couldn't completely leave it alone. Because I wanted it driveable I installed air conditioning and after that came mags, headers, a manifold and carburetor, MSD, disc brakes. . .well, you know the story."
It took a trip up to Famoso Raceway, in Bakersfield, California, to really turn things around for the Conways. "When we went up for the drags, I noticed many people camping for the three-day event," say Steve. "I thought this would be fun and even better in an old classic trailer. After discussing it with my wife, I thought about maybe a teardrop trailer. After I showed Loretta what a teardrop was she said no way. If we were going to do a trailer, she wanted to be able to stand up inside. What followed was that we started looking for a trailer with a look that matched up well with our '57 Chevy."
"We found our Shasta in the local paper," says Loretta. "And we just bought it. We paid more than we wanted because the owner told us that this trailer is a classic, thus the price goes up. But I think he knew we had to have it because it was a '57, the same year as the Chevy."
"To say that the trailer was very rough, that's an understatement," says Steve. "But it was fun fixing it up because my wife got involved. It's like a little house, a home away from home. Fixing it up was like part auto repair and part home remodeling. She picked out material for the curtains, floor and upholstery. We had fun shopping for everything we would ever need at Camping World." To make trailing the Shasta safer, Steve upgraded the Chevy with power disc brakes and the trailer is equipped with electronic brakes as well.
Following behind Steve as we traveled up Interstate 5 through Los Angeles it was fun watching other drivers moving around Steve to get a closer look. In car culture crazy Southern California, that's saying a lot when even a slammed H2 riding on 24-inch wheels hardly garners a passing look. "The Chevy has no problem towing the trailer," says Steve. "But at much over 55 miles per hour, you start to know that you're pulling it. It starts to wander a bit. Yet you have to feel great when people driving by give you the thumbs-up, as if you're driving some exotic hot rod."
The Conways use their trailer for many car events. It makes a great alternative to staying in motels. They have even put it in some car shows, as a combo. While their '57 Chevy is by no means a concours restoration, when parked next to their Shasta, it's easy to overlook its flaws. In reality, the white on red combination typically garners more attention and bigger crowds than most of the megabuck restorations parked next to it. It's not a show car, as Steve likes to say, it's basically a daily driver. But that has not stopped it from winning awards as at the latest car show they attended, in Burbank at Johnny Carson Park, they were awarded the Best of Show.

Board elects Janet Furness
According to AGRM bylaws, up to three board seats are to be held by individuals who are not working at or directly connected to member missions. Just elected to a term that starts this month is Dr. Janet Furness, associate dean and chair of the school of social work at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. Although not connected with a mission, Janet is no stranger to rescue mission ministry. Her grandfather, Lawrence Sutherland, was the first superintendent of the Goodwill Home and Rescue Mission in Newark, N.J., from 19201954, and her father, Charles Y. Furness, was also a legend in the rescue mission world. He was the director of Goodwill Rescue Mission and wrote many of the recovery documents that rescue missions used from the 1950s through the 1980s. He later headed the department of social work at Philadelphia Biblical University. AGRM is please to have Dr. Furness serving the association in this key role.

AGRM asks you to join together with your staff and pray for Brian Merriam (president of AGRM business partner The Merriam Agency), his wife, Judi, and their children Tyler and Kalina.

We miss Jenson so very much, and in spite of our terrible loss and grief, there are tiny glimpses of redemption that we are able to see a bit more with each passing day. We are only able to bear the pain because of the grace of Jesus and the prayers and support of our friends and family. A memorial service will be held January 7 in Schenectady, New York.

Homeless woman becomes social media celebrity
Competition to gain a following on social media is fierce, but imagine achieving it while homeless. Thats what AnnMarie Walsh, a homeless woman from the northwest suburbs of Chicago, did by using the Internet at a local library and using a hand-me-down cell phone. According to a Daily Herald report, Walsh gained more than 4,000 followers on Twitter, which in turn landed her a spot in a documentary called Twittamentary. One of her motives was to help others understand people who are homeless, noting, Most of them think that homeless people are all criminals, on drugs, alcoholics. They think we dont try to get out of homelessness and that we arent successful at anything. Some have college degrees and because of the economy got laid off. Walshs tweeting paid off. After more than five years of homelessness, she found a place to live, thanks to a social worker who connected with her through Twitter.
Psychologist offers advice for keeping resolutions
Its January, and with the dawning of another year, annual New Years resolutions become one of those good ideas that never seems to work out as intended. According to a USA Today report, many resolutions are fitness-relatedto get more exercise or lose weight. But a lot of people lose interest in their resolutions in the first few weeks of the month. Psychologist Art Markman, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, offers some insight into why its so difficult to keep resolutions. The most difficult New Years resolutions for people to keep are usually the ones where people are trying to stop doing something. People say theyre going to eat less or theyre going to stop smoking or theyre going to stop drinking. One of the reasons its hard to do that is now youre replacing this behavior with no behavior. So what you need to do is replace a habit with some other behavior. Markman suggests coming up with an alternate or competing behavior any time you want to do what you hope to stop. For example, if you want to quit smoking, adopt the competing goal to run a 5K race (Markman notes that its hard to remain a smoker if you are trying to train for a road race).
One-way bus rides continue to be part of homeless strategy
Last week, the city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, joined the ranks of local government agencies acting as ticket brokersproviding homeless individuals and families with free one-way bus rides out of town. According to a Miami Herald report, Fort Lauderdale plans to spend about $25,000 a year on the effort, while Miami-Dade and Broward counties in Florida each spend at least twice that much annually. Homeless advocates say the free bus trips are worthwhile if those traveling are welcomed and sheltered by friends or family at their arrival city. Large metropolitan areas across the country, including New York and San Francisco, have their own free-trip programs. Before Broward County pays for bus tickets, it has the policy of requiring homeless travelers to show identification, and their friend or loved ones must confirm by phone that they are offering up their home. I cant think of a time when somebodys given somebodys name and theyve said No, they cant come here, said a representative of Browards Human Services department. Weve had grandmothers cry and say Bring my babies home. An emotional support network can boost the chances of a person breaking the cycle of homelessness and getting permanently back on their feet. And while not all homeless people are struggling with substance abuse issues, some certainly are, and moving to a different environment can be key for those trying to quit drugs or alcohol. Miami-Dade has a one-time-only policy when it comes to the complimentary travel. If a homeless man or woman returns to the county afterward, he or she is denied homeless-assistance services for a lengthy period of time. Miami-Dade relocated more than 300 homeless men, women, and children in 2011.

Mentally ill individuals flood emergency rooms
Across the country, emergency rooms are facing a spike in psychiatric emergenciesattempted suicide, severe depression, psychosisas states slash mental health services and the country's continuing economic crisis takes its toll. According to an msnbc.com report, this trend is taxing emergency rooms already overburdened by uninsured patients who wait until physical ailments become acute before seeking treatment. Further compounding the problem are patients with chronic mental illness who have been hurt by a squeeze on mental health services and find themselves with nowhere to go. Government agencies such as the National Institutes of Mental Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration havent released new data on use of psychiatric services in recent years. However, the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD), estimates that in the last three years states have cut $3.4 billion in mental health services, while an additional 400,000 people have sought help at public mental health facilities. In that same timeframe, demand for community-based services climbed 56 percent, and demand for emergency room, state hospital, and emergency psychiatric care climbed 18 percent.
Christianity grows dramatically in Africa
With 2.18 billion adherents, Christianity has become a truly global religion over the past century. According to a USA Today report, rapid growth in developing nations has offset declines in Christianity's traditional strongholds. The article summarizes findings in the Pew Research Center's Global Christianity study, which reports on self-identified Christian populations based on more than 2,400 sources of information, especially census and survey data. The studys findings illustrate major shifts since 1910, when two-thirds of the world's Christians lived in Europe. Now only 1 in 4 Christians live in Europe. Most of the rest are distributed across the Americas (37 percent), sub-Saharan Africa (24 percent) and the Asia-Pacific region (13 percent). The report confirms Christianity's standing as the world's largest religion, with 32 percent of the global population. Islam is second with about 23 percent. A close look at the details reveals a few ironies:
Report labels homelessness a manmade disaster'
While Christmas in New York is considered almost magical, a new report by the National Center on Family Homelessness (NCFH) notes that nearly 50,000 children in the city were homeless this past holiday. And according to a New York Daily News report, the countrys largest city isnt alone. In the U.S., more than 1.6 million childrenone in 45live in cars, motels, or homeless shelters over the course of a year. Thats the reality revealed just before Christmas in a 124-page report, Americas Youngest Outcasts 2010. The report ranks the 50 states using four criteria: the percentage of homeless children, their overall well-being, their risk for homelessness, and the states response to these problems. At the national level, the new numbers represent a 38 percent increase in child homelessness between 2007 and 2010. The recession has been a manmade disaster for vulnerable children, said NCFHs president, adding that there are more homeless children today than after the natural disasters of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which caused historic levels of homelessness in 2006. For the purposes of the report, a homeless child is any child 18 or younger living with at least one parent or caregiver in emergency shelters, motels, cars, campgrounds, and the like due to economic hardships or losing their homes. The report also finds that homeless children in America suffer from hunger and poor physical and emotional health as well as limited academic proficiency in reading and math, as the barrage of stressful experiences effects their development and ability to learn.

A 5-cent object lesson
Topeka Rescue Mission (Topeka, Kan.) used the isolated image of a larger-than-actual-size nickel and just a few words in its newsletter to demonstrate how efficiently the mission provides meals to the homeless in the community:
Last year we were blessed to help provide 444,466 meals. Food donations and volunteers helped keep the real cost of those meals at $20,853. Break the numbers down. Thats an average cost of one nickel per meal. 1 meal=$.05. But for hungry and homeless people, it is not about big #s. It is about food. And help. And hope. Hope found one hot meal at a time. Thats faith with its sleeves rolled up.

We Need Each Other
Recently, I was invited to speak at a church that has supported the men and women of our mission for many years. The pastor asked if I could bring along guests from the mission to share their stories, so I invited Joel and Sondra to join me.
I love this kind of invitation! The church receives the rich reward that comes from hearing firsthand the life transformation made possible through its service to others, while our guests are provided the opportunity to glorify God for His redeeming love.
As Sondra and Joel took turns that Sunday, sharing their stories of lives transformed and glorifying God for a renewed future, a verse from the Book of Ecclesiastes came to mind: How can one keep warm alone? (Ecclesiastes 4:11).
The answer, of course, is that one cantwe cant, no matter our circumstances. We need each other; its never more complicated than that. Joel and Sondra needed someone to greet them at the door of our mission the day they arrived. They needed someone to listen to their stories. They needed people to be patient with them as they discovered new possibilities.
In the same way, our ministries have had people who have taken us in. Encouraged us. And patiently helped us securethrough Gods gracea better tomorrow for thousands and thousands of people.
May God fill the coming year with family, love, warmth, and laughter. Thank you for standing with those seeking refuge and finding it each day.

Back in the office...
I did receive an email from an 'insider' with a rather vague statement, but I'll share it with you here and you can make of it what you will... when discussing upcoming projects for MSNXT, the email simply said "we cannot tell you, but wait for the surprise!"
I would suggest keeping an eye on the official website...

This was a surprise!

Hmmm. . . I guess retail ran out of stock of NXT?
- Jun 13, 2006, 5:18:00 AM
Here's something interesting. . .
The following paragraph can be found at this link:
"Is the new MINDSTORMS NXT set compatible with the Robotics Invention System sets?"
"Regarding compatibility between a MINDSTORMS Robotics Invention System set and a NXT set, there will be a converter cable available that will allow you to connect your existing RCX compatible sensors and motors to the NXT brick. This will come in handy for many users who wish to continue using their considerable collection of existing sensors. It will also make it possible to use the existing LEGO temperature sensor in conjunction with the NXT. Since the NXT set does not include a temperature sensor at this time, this will greatly benefit those who rely on that sensor for specific projects. In order to use the legacy sensors and motors, in addition to the converter cable, you will need to download a file from the web. This file will contain programming icons for the legacy sensors. We expect to have this file ready as a free download by the beginning of August.
Finally, the NXT brick will not be able to communicate with the RCX brick. You could physically connect them but nothing would come of it just as it wasn't possible to have two RCX bricks communicate through a connecting cable."

Thanks for posting the link... that does sound like LEGO intends to release an update that will make the legacy sensors available...

I'm really glad to hear this!

There are a few comments hidden on the Lego-Education (DACA) page, though calls to their line get you less info than what's posted.
I am eagerly awaiting my NXT kit, ordered before they apparently ran out for the July 1 Mass Shippment (various stores may *also* have their own allocations for pre-order at whatever the price) BUT:
I am deeply afraid LEGO didn't "get" the real reasons RSX didn't become the hyper-popular toy the corporation expected.
It isn't the complexity - rather the complexity of trying to create sufficient I/O to use the thing - made worse by the decision that *all* motors should be within 1 degree accuracy motors.
Look, the CPU at the heart of the NXT block is the sme thing in the latesgt Palm PDAs, the ones even capable of running a limited Windows clone!
Stripped of the heavy screen demand, you would think they would at least use a flash memory port for a gig of program storage or easy program changes... And, with a 32-bit CPU throw in a half-gig of RAM for us to play with? Nope.
WORSE - you would think they'd provide eight, maybe 16 ports for the heavy-feedback motors (not necesserally locally powered, but what's a few batteries between friends?) Plus 16 or 32 variable resistance or pulse-mod or even scr misc. motor controls and 64+ binary outputs, 32 latched - to be plugged into a fairly cheap opto-isolator expansion board to make useful.
AND with that, 128 (a whole FOUR words) binary inputs using the same kind of opto-isolators, reversed, and anothr 16 or 32 (with expansion boards, OK, no problem) ADC inputs - yes, 8,16,32 -bit ADCs still cost a bit, but not too much for the dedicwted builder, considering adding the *potential* for all this expansion would have added almost nothing to the price, just a series of pop-the-sides-off high-density connectors for the plug-ins.
Now, pre-release materiaql indicates it shoulod be possible to slave a robot to an immovable PC via Bluetooth or, with little work, bi-di Bluetooth to 802.11 wireless.
But unless the brick is open to hard hacking, it looks like the same kludges used for Mindstorms I expansion will be with us again - like 1965 resistor ladder DACs/ADCs out of the 1960 LINC computer manual, or jurry-rigging MUXes based on digital signal to port 1 (Device 3) READ Port 1 so you can hang four or more simple switches off a port, but using a pure digital read will still be a Royal Pain AND IRQs will be worse.
I'm really hoping I'll be surprised, and I'll find a torx-screw-covered panel covering all the other contacts and ports available on most ARM-7 core controllers. WHY do I doubt it?
Anyone in the Beta crew able to say how hard a hack we're looking at to build highly sensitive and responsive?

I just called Lego to make sure my preorder was still happening since the "not available" message was disturbing. Apparently they have a mistake on the website. Only the NXT with the free batteries is not available in the US. They are still taking preorders for the regular set, to ship July 1. The person I spoke to said she would pass the info on to her supervisor so they can fix/clarify the order page.

Actually, sales of the RCX are (I think) a record for the company - their #1 selling item of all time, and they *still* sell, even now years later.
As to the wealth of suggestions, those are *great*... if you are a professional robotics type, or even a hobbiest with a deep interest. But that's not what LEGO makes: quite simply, they make toys, for kids. Adding all that stuff would increase the usability of the NXT drasticly, but also raise the cost some... and if only one user in 100 (or less) uses those features, then it probably does not make for a wise economic decision.
That's LEGO's problem - ours is how to have the maximum fun with this "childs toy". Here (I feel) LEGO has stepped up to the plate more than ever: they *have* modified hardware based on how *adult* test groups reacted (not just kids). And they have allowed us in the MDP (and, soon enough, everybody else) deeper access to the internals of the product than any other toy manufacturer has ever dreamed of. And at a deeper level, they've built in some features that are going to make "hacking" at least as easy as before, if not more so. For instance, the NXT can handle "legacy" RCX sensors... which means we should be able to port many of our RCX hacks over to the NXT. Beyond that, sensor ports support a digital communication protocall (*light-years* beyond what they RCX could handle), making for a whole new world of possibilities.
I'm not sure what it will take to move the NXT to the level you want - but I *do* know the NXT is already (months before release) ten times closer to that level than the RCX will ever be... and look what we've done with the RCX!

I would like to add some comments to Brian's post.
It's only on its 3rd issue at this point, but ROBOT magazine is one of the sources of information I use to see what else is going on in the robot hobbyist world. Let me tell you what I've found so far...
1. There are cheaper robotic kits, many from $20 to $100. The drawback: most of these are of a pre-designed form, with one or 2 functions (line follower or Scribbler comes to mind).
2. There are more advanced robotic kits, many from $700 to $1500. Drawback: Most are heavy on the servo motors and programming the bots to do advanced movements - hand-stands, cartwheels, backflips, etc. and lack any additional sensors. Also, these can be tricky for younger designers to build and some require a good working knowledge of some advanced programming techniques as well as extreme patience when it comes to assembly.
3. There are kits similar to Mindstorms (VEX) in price ($200-400). With VEX, the program must be purchased separately or else the bot is simply remote-controlled. LynxMotion sells something it calls the "Servo Erector Set" where you can pick the individual components, but again, you're limited to mainly servos and the mounting hardware/frames used to connect them PLUS the circuit board/IC seem to be limited at this time to motion control and very few sensors like the Ultrasonic, Light, Touch, etc... they're available, but pricey AND I would say not for the novice.
My point: I can NOT find the functionality of this kit, with this collection of sensors, parts, and the easy-to-use software in any currently existing robotics kit at this price.
I'm not trying to lessen anyone's concerns about whether they will be able to do something in particular with this kit... there are going to be a lot of special projects that will not be possible with the basic kit - I've actually encountered a few myself. (Arrays were considered non-existent until Brian Davis showed us otherwise.)
But at this point, I am extremely impressed with this new kit. Let's give LEGO a break until everyone has their kits in hand and has begun to build and program.

A third voice, and I'm not an MDP'er.
LEGO had a very firm price point of $250. Roughly equivalent to the video game consoles out on the market - making it a tempting alternative to those products for the parents, who are the ones with the money.
Because LEGO's building elements are universally compatible (right down to the legacy sensors/motors, THANK YOU LEGO!!!), this is just a 'starter kit', to which other bricks are expected to be added on, be they other Technic sets, gear packs or, and this is key, other NXTs.
Because of the bluetooth communication, you can link up as many NXTs as you want, each one performing a specific function of a larger robotic whole, an idea that I think fits wonderfully with LEGO's base concept.
Sure, if you had multiple external powersupplies optoisolated from the chipset powering multiple motors, yes, it'd be possible to do more, but for most applications, three (or six) motors is going to do the trick.
Aftermarket vendors, such as hiTechnic, are already coming out with motor multiplexers which let you power multiple motors from a single NXT from an external power supply, and they'll be available when the NXT launches. I'm sure home electronic experts could create their own versions.
Finally, it may even be possible for the software writers/hackers to make specialized blocks to control some of these aftermarket devices as though they were native.
A single 2x4 brick isn't very interesting. It's when you start combining it with other bricks that the magic starts to happen. The same is true of the NXT. Just one is going to be fun. Two or more is going to really open some possibilities.
