Timeline of events in Jodi Arias murder case
PHOENIX The Jodi Arias murder trial has drawn international attention for its graphic tales of sex and lies. The following is a timeline of some of the key events in the case:
- September 2006: Arias and Travis Alexander meet at a Las Vegas work convention and quickly enter into a stormy long-distance relationship. Arias, an aspiring saleswoman and photographer, lives in California and visits Alexander in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa. Alexander is a Mormon and works as a salesman and motivational speaker.
- November 2006: The 26-year-old Arias is baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
- June 29, 2007: Arias and Alexander break up but continue to see each other for sex. Weeks later, Arias moves to Arizona, where she waits tables and cleans Alexander's home for extra cash. She moves back to California in spring 2008.
- May 28, 2008: A .25 caliber gun is reported stolen from the home of Arias' grandparents, where Arias has been staying.
- June 4, 2008: On a road trip to Utah to see another co-worker and love interest, Arias takes a detour to Arizona to visit the 30-year-old Alexander. Arias and Alexander have sex at his home, then take provocative photographs of each other. Arias kills Alexander during this visit. Prosecutors say she arrived unannounced, but Arias claims Alexander invited her.
- June 5, 2008: Arias continues to Utah, where she sees the other man.
- June 9, 2008: Friends find Alexander's body in his shower and call 911. He had been shot in the head with a .25 caliber, and stabbed and slashed nearly 30 times. Authorities later find Arias' hair and bloody palm print at the scene, along with time-stamped photos in a camera discovered inside Alexander's washing machine.
- July 9, 2008: On Arias' 28th birthday, a grand jury indicts her on first-degree murder.
- July 15, 2008: Arias is arrested at her grandparents' home. She maintains she wasn't involved in Alexander's slaying, telling a detective: "I don't even hurt spiders."
- Sept. 5, 2008: Arias is extradited to Arizona. A public defender is later assigned to represent her.
- Sept. 11, 2008: Arias pleads not guilty.
- September 2008: Arias tells various media outlets that two masked intruders attacked her and killed Alexander. In a jailhouse interview with "Inside Edition," Arias says: "No jury is going to convict me. I am innocent, and you can mark my words on that."
- Oct. 31, 2008: Prosecutors file a notice of intent to seek the death penalty. They contend Arias planned the attack and killed Alexander in a jealous rage.
- August 2010: Arias changes her story about the killing, saying it was self-defense.
- Dec. 10, 2012: July selection begins. Eighteen potential jurors and alternates eventually are chosen.
- Jan. 2, 2013: Opening statements start. Artwork purportedly drawn by Arias soon begins selling online.

As the summer tourist season enters its final weeks and bed tax revenues remain flat, Okaloosa County plans to be more aggressive in advertising local beaches as a fall destination.
After a recommendation from the Tourist Development Council, county officials increased the fall advertising allocation from $100,000 to $300,000.
County Commissioner Kelly Windes, who sits on the TDC, said it makes sense to boost the shoulder season.
"You don't need as much draw in the 90 days of summer as you do in the pre-season and post-season," he said.
The funds will be added to the original $2.2 million marketing plan designed to advertise local beaches from March to September. The plan was drafted by the county's advertising firm, Peter Mayer Advertising of New Orleans. It calls for marketing Okaloosa Island and Destin as top leisure destinations, selling the area to the meetings industry, revamping the county's tourism websites and promoting the Emerald Coast as a Christmas destination.
See the budget and proposed budget. >>
That marketing plan amounts to almost half of the tourist development department's $5.1 million advertising budget for the current fiscal year. To date, the department has spent $1.7 million on a variety of print and digital advertising and has a remaining balance of $3.4 million in bed tax funds.
A little more than $1 million of that balance is a reserve to be used in an emergency such as a hurricane, said Dan O'Byrne, director of the tourist development department.
"When a storm hits, we have to tap that money to bring back our customers," he said. "When the storm hits somewhere else, we have to have the money to go get their customers. ... And when the storm is projected to hit here and doesn't, we need to go out and assure everyone that we're fine and to come back."
In his proposed 2013-14 budget, O'Byrne increased the annual marketing plan to $2.6 million. Commissioners will take a final vote on the proposed budget in September.
In recent weeks, some in the hospitality industry have criticized the tourist development department for not spending enough to market local beaches.
O'Byrne said the perception that his department is moving slowly is due to the new financial controls put in place by the county following the Mark Bellinger fraud scandal.
"We are no longer allowed to pay for any goods and services in advance of receiving them, so by definition, we will always be under budget," he said.
O'Byrne said the new rigorous accounting procedures are "correcting the weaknesses of the past."
"The new reality is we do things the right way in the right order," he said.
Commission chairman Don Amunds agreed, pointing out that bed tax money is public money that is highly regulated.
"I don't believe that just because you have the money that you should spend it," Amunds said. "I believe in getting the best return for our money."
Windes said during Bellinger's tenure, bed tax money was spent "loosely" but now is heavily scrutinized.
"We've made lots of big changes," he said. "I feel lots better about the TDC."
Under the county's tourist development plan, tourism advertising is funded through one-fifth of the revenue generated by the 5-cent bed tax charged on short-term rentals in south Okaloosa County.
According to the most recent budget data, Okaloosa County has a total balance of $17.8 million in bed tax in its tourist development fund.
The 5-cent tax generates five separate revenue streams specifically allocated for uses that include convention center debt and improvements, lifeguard services, beach restoration and beach park facilities. The various uses are highly regulated under state statutes and county ordinances.
O'Byrne said all of the bed tax money is used to market the area, whether it's upkeep on the welcome center to the cleaning of beaches.
"I'd argue that the fact that we have lifeguards is a marketing effort," he said. "If we didn't do it, we'd be out of business."

Jim - I'm not too surprised. John Barnes is an original MDP, and Lego made a hint at some point that they would act as reseller for add-ons.
Also previous pictures of the HiTechnic sensors clearly showed the Lego stamp on the plastics.
Congrats HiTechnic on it being made offical though!
Maniac000 - Bluetooth is not a great choice for connecting sensors:
1. It probably adds $10 or more to the cost.
2. In environments with radio noise, such as at Brickfest or near an operating microwave oven, the communication could suffer from interference.
3. The NXT can only communicate with one Bluetooth device at a time. So if it has to skip between listeining to the sensor and talking to a Bluetooth remote control then both are going to suffer delays.
- Aug 28, 2006, 12:59:00 PM

I imagine the "Lego" stamp on the plastics was probably due to the fact that they "borrowed" the sensor package from another sensor (to have an early prototype).
When sensors go into production, HiTechnic has to use its own molded plastic encapsulation.
- Aug 28, 2006, 11:28:00 PM
- Brian Davis said...
This is great news for both AFoLs and HiTechnic. I've got to say that they (HiTechnic) were very pleased at the warm and enthusiastic response from the BrickFest crowd (I think I may have been jumping up and down in the back). As Filip mentioned, they are molding their own casings, but the look, feel, and function of these are right in line with LEGO (right up the offset connector).
As to BlueToothing sensors, this was a common thing requested at BrickFest during the NXT Q&A sessions, and Tony has some good points. I suspect adding $10 to the cost is even an underestimate: each sensor would need its own BlueCore chipset, and a microprocessor/PIC to drive it properly, and a whole lot more *power*... powering a LED and some phototransitors is very easy, powering BT is much more energy-demanding. How many battery sets do you want to have to change out of your robots?
Surprisingly, I've had little problem with BT interferance. At BrickFest I don't think any of us had problems (we did a good bit of running around under remote control), and NI Week in Austin had a *hoard* of BT devices and interferenace from industrial demos... yet both Steve and I had uninterrupted BT communication over distances of more than 30 meters, ten times the "specified" maximum range.
Hmm... here's a thought for simple "remote" sensors. Can you make an RFID tag that switchs number in some way based on the output of a simple sensor? True, you'll need a RFID tag reader as a sensor unit on the NXT (and that's going to run around $50), and may be rather slow to boot... but now remote sensors like touch become very very cheap, flat, perhaps literally disposable, and unpowered...

True. But don't try to tell me that you wouldn't say no to a wireless BT Vision Command.
One thing that strikes me about the news is its impact to FLL. Will Hitechnic sensors sold at Shop @ Home be allowed in competition. A compas senosr would come in handy, I'm fairly certain that the tables are suposed to be faced a certain way(?).

Filip - I want to make my own sensors. So I'm hoping to hear more from Lego about the availablity of compatible connectors soon. ;-)

Re Bluetooth Sensors
It is interesting to hear that this was a populart request at BrickFest. At the moment I can only think of a few cases where this is significantly more attractive than runing a sensor cable or having a second NXT, or a PDA/PC, to do the remote activity.
Though Bluetooth is one of the areas I would like to hack on when the source to the NXT firmware becomes available.
Yes, the $10 is low - I was thinking of it as a minimum bill of materials cost. Additional cost to the resale price could be quite a lot higher.
A7 Engineering for instance have Bluetooth adapters that talk to Atmel, PIC & similar processors for $49 each, in quantities of 100.
Bluetooth is pretty robust, I work in an office where I can see 50+ Bluetooth devices. If the radio hops to a frequency that is busy with noise or another transmission it will retry after a short while. These delays may be more significant when collecting sensor readings in a dynamic environment.
I don't think RFID tags can 'switch number' without having a microcontroller in. Perhaps the switch could just complete a resonant RC circuit, and the transmitter could send a burst of RF and sense received signal after the end of the burst? Sorry to be vague, RF circuits are not really my forte.
- Aug 29, 2006, 5:06:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
> ut don't try to tell me that you wouldn't say no
> to a wireless BT Vision Command.
Yes, but... it would be very handy if the processing was done on-board the camera, to avoid hogging the NXT. And if the processing is on-board the camera, what will be passed on is not image data, but somthing simple. As to BTing the image back... be prepared for a wait. A significant wait.
Tony, as to why BT sensors were so popular, I suspect it might be at least partially due to many folks just not knowing all the details (like the cost). The only reason I do, is while in the MUP/MDP I too asked for them, and when they $50 increase was explained, I found other solutions. This may just be needing to get the information and understanding out into the community.
On RFID tags, I wish I knew how they worked in detail (somebody want to fill me in?). I'm thinking of a RFID tag that can toggle its number by 1 based on a simple physical switch that reconfigures a portion of the circut. I have not idea if that works... and yes, a simple RF ping on a resonant frequency would be just as good (and cheaper!) in most cases. But not as flexible, which is why I was thinking of RFID readers.
On the subject of connectors, I'm not sure they will be released in bulk - I simply don't know where the supplier is, or if they are publicly avalible. But is not, we at least still have the option of "voiding the warrenty" on the cable LEGO sells and cutting them in two... after all, that's exactly what we have done with the 9V system wires for many years (the only supplier of those ever was LEGO).

Hi Brian
I forgot that Bluetooth is still more known here in Europe. Hmmm, even Target have Motorola Bluetooth headsets at $70. Which is hardly cheap, and I guess they have production runs in the region of 50 000+.
Microchip (www.microchip.com) have some interesting rfPIC processors and RFID tags. (Links are too wide to be readable in these columns.)
My home-made NXT connectors are of somewhat variable quality so far. If I sold a few sensors that I had made I would prefer to use Lego NXT compatible sockets. The manufacturer ident on the connectors appears to be 'BN', but I do not know/remember who that is.
Mindsensors (www.mindsensors.com) have a pretty good trick of having 4 plated-through holes in the circuitboard to connect the Lego Technic/RCX connector bricks to.
- Aug 29, 2006, 11:14:00 AM
- Filip said...
To build your own sensors, I think you can only do one of two things: do it the way MindSensors does it, or go through the Lego Certification Program. The last thing is the best way, but it only going to be feasible I think for professional sensor building.
- Aug 29, 2006, 7:39:00 PM
- Paul said...
Anyone know how to get the rj45 mates for a custom sensor for the NXT. Also if any housings are available, similar to what the HiTechnic guys have on their website? I looked at what Mindsensors has done, I want to be able to protect the electronics

Where can I find a RFID reader that works with LEGO NXT robot?

I bought these for my wife as a gift, who is super choosey about her flip flops. She absolutely loves this brand and style and raves about how comfortable they are. Winner, winner folks! You can't go wrong with these sandals. They are awesome!! I recommend ordering a size up as these do run small. My wife always gets size 7 in other sandals and the size 8 fits perfectly. Smart buy all!!

You can't go wrong with these flops. They are awesome!! I recommend ordering a size up as these do run small. My wire always gets size 7 in other sandals an the size 8 fits perfectly. Smart buy all!!
I now own 6 pairs of this style of Reef sandals. I will not wear any other! These flipflops are very comfortable and last for years. The fabric straps are perfect for comfort and style. The rubber bottoms are very cushy. I am glad I found a color that I did not previously have at MooseJaw.
These are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever worn...It's almost as though you're walking barefoot. They literally mold to your feet....sooo comfy. If you buy these flip flops you will not regret it...promise.
Love these flip flops! I tried the Teva equivalent last time around and had to go back to my Reefs because the Teva logo embedded in the shoe annoyed me when I walked. I practically walk a hole in these shoes. They are comfortable and durable. I will continue to buy this flip flop as my go-to flip flop. I usually buy a size up in these shoes.
As far as flip-flops go this one is comfortable. The sole is soft without making you sink too much. The strap between the toes is soft and mallable, it does not need to be broken in. There is some arch support in this sandal which could feel uncomfortable if it hits in the wrong place.
Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I decided to skip the jewelry store and buy my girlfriends birthday gifts off of Moosejaw.com. Once the package came I presented her with these Reef sandals which she loved. Unfortunately I am not a professional tailor and I got the size wrong. The sandals were great but have not gotten any use unfortunately. We are trying to change out the sizes, so more product review to follow. Let this be a lesson to check your ladies shoe size!
Okay honestly my daughter is beautiful but she has a long second toe and i never liked for her to wear them, but when i saw these with the wide strap, i actually ordered her to pair, brown and black and they look great on her. Shes happy and I am too. They are really made well.
I couldn't live in the summer without these sandals. They are the most comfortable and withstand the constant use very well. I have had my originaly pair for 8 years and they are still going strong. I don't know what I would do if these sandals didn't exist!

The centre of Mannheim, laid out in a practical rectangular design, is as much a feature of the city as its expertise in transport + logistics, financial services, technology + innovation and chemicals + pharmaceuticals. The city also enjoys the benefits of an outstanding network between industry and research in the area of vehicle technology and the promotion of the medical biotechnology cluster by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Mannheim would appear to be fertile ground for developments in the area of transport + logistics – especially in vehicle technology. Carl Benz invented the automobile here, Karl Freiherr von Drais created the "draisine" (an early form of bicycle without pedals), Johann Schütte was a pioneer in airship construction and Julius Hatry built the world's first rocket plane. To this day, the Mannheim region is a renowned location for manufacturers of vehicles and vehicle technology. Important associations and educational institutions are represented here with the VDI (Association of German Engineers), Hochschule Mannheim University of Applied Sciences and Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg / Cooperative State University Baden-Württemberg (DHBW). In addition, Mannheim is a part of wide-ranging competence networks such as the Automotive Cluster RheinMainNeckar, which has around 450 members and is involved in the EU project "Transnational Clustering in the Automotive Sector (TCAS)". There is also the Commercial Vehicles cluster, which brings together hundreds of manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, universities and research institutes in the south of Rhineland-Palatinate and the west of Baden-Württemberg.
Financial services and insurance: With the insurers Mannheimer Versicherung, the Inter Versicherungsgruppe and the financial services company MLP, Mannheim is home to three elite members of the insurance and financial services industry. In education, the city shines with three leading business administration faculties. It also hosts one of the largest financial congresses in Europe (FONDS Professionell Kongress) and the largest financial trade fair in the German-speaking world - the Finance Symposium Schwabe Ley und Greiner.
Technology + innovation are, by tradition, strongly anchored in Mannheim. The focus today is on the IT industry. Software giant SAP and BASF's subsidiary for corporate solutions and various user groups are both based in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region. With the Institute for Computer Science and Business Information Systems and corresponding degree courses at the various universities, the city has excellent foundations in research and education.
The region brings together fields of competence in chemicals + pharma and medical + healthcare. The cluster "Cell-Based & Molecular Medicine in the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region" (BioRN) is particularly impressive. By 2014, the BioRN cluster is expected to bring a total of around 50 drugs, diagnostic techniques, technology platforms and services in the area of personalised medicine and cancer treatment to industrial maturity. Over 100 strong partners from business, science and politics are engaged in the cluster promoting advances in cell-based and molecular medicine. The greatest concentration of biotech companies is in the vicinity of academic research and educational establishments such as the University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg University Hospital, the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and Hochschule Mannheim University of Applied Sciences. In addition, 60 small and medium-sized biotech companies as well as the three major diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies Roche, Merck Serano and Abbott shape the cluster and its innovative potential.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chanting "DOMA is Dead," supporters of same-sex marriage burst into cheers Wednesday at news of the Supreme Court's decision invalidating part of a law denying gay marriage partners the same federal benefits heterosexual couples enjoy.
Tell us what you think in the comments section below. You can also submit a letter to the editor about the issue via email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sarah Prager, 26, cried when she heard the news standing outside the court. Prager married her wife in
"I'm in shock. I didn't expect DOMA to be struck down," she said through tears and shaking. Prager was referring to the Defense of Marriage Act, signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996, which was aimed at preserving the legal definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.
A large crowd had thronged to the high court's plaza earlier to await not only the decision on DOMA, but also a ruling on whether a constitutional amendment in
Most of the crowd that spilled across the sidewalk in front of the court were gay marriage supporters. One person held a rainbow flag and another wore a rainbow shawl, and a number of people carried signs with messages including "2 moms make a right" and "'I Do' Support Marriage Equality." Others wore T-shirts including "Legalize gay" and "It's time for marriage equality." At several points the crowd began a call and response: "What do we want? Equality. When do we want it? Now."
Larry Cirignano, 57, was in the minority with a sign supporting marriage only between a man and a woman. He said he drove four hours from
Thirty-four-year-old Ian Holloway of
He said, "We have rings ready. We're ready to go as soon as the decision comes down." Holloway said he was optimistic the justices would strike down Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in

I'm not much of a movie-goer. In fact, if I recall correctly, I've only been to one movie at the cinemas this year, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
However, I find that there are two movies, both coming up in December, that I want to watch: The Adventures of Tintin, and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.
Anyone else?

I always have mixed feelings after Christmas…the past month was especially crazy with my husband Graduating, family get-togethers, traveling, and lots of To Do's…so its hard to switch gears and get into slow down mode. Yesterday I took Ben downtown to paint a piggy bank…and broke out a new rotary cutter:
After a couple of practice cuts I'm in love. You hold in the handle gently and the blade pops out…and the handle locks to keep it away from little hands. I constantly forget to pull my blade back in on my old one…so it will be one less thing for me to think about! I bought mine at Joann's during the sales. Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

How much school security is too much?
Sandy Hook tragedy renews student safety debate raised by San Diego school shootings.
San Diego It's been three months since a quiet 20-year-old unleashed 15 minutes of terror at Sandy Hook Elementary School, murdering 26 children and adults.
The carnage in Newtown, Conn., shattered the nation's trust in the safety of our school campuses and sparked an urgent debate about how to protect our youth from future violence.
Do we fight firepower with more firepower? How much security on schools is too much? Can such massacres truly be prevented?
In San Diego, these are conversations we've had before.
In 2001, back-to-back shootings at Santana High School in Santee and Granite Hills High School in El Cajon killed two victims, wounded 18 and traumatized the entire county.
And in 2010, the school safety issue resurfaced after a gunman stormed the playground at Kelly Elementary School in Carlsbad, wounding two second-graders.
The bloodshed challenged school districts and the larger community to take a hard look at what worked, what went wrong and what needs to be fixed.
In the Grossmont Union High School District, a high-ranking collection of civic leaders did that review as members of what was dubbed The Lessons Commission. The group's ultimate findings and the changes they spurred have made the district a national model when it comes to school safety measures.
Since the Sandy Hook massacre, other schools around the nation have been seeking advice from Grossmont Union on how to make their classrooms safer.
Educators who grappled for solutions following the local shootings arrived at one universal conclusion: There are no easy fixes. The violence targeting our youth are signs of larger societal problems that will take national buy-in to truly address.
But there are lessons to be learned.
Resource officers matter
In 2001, Rich Agundez was one of two El Cajon police officers who split time among the city's four high schools. It was fortune, or perhaps fate, that put him on the campus of Granite Hills on March 22.
Agundez was in a break room when he heard shots being fired. Senior Jason Hoffman, 18, wounded two teachers and three students before Agundez shot and injured Hoffman and took him into custody.
"Thank God he was on campus that day," Lt. Tim Henton said of Agundez. "Who knows how many lives he saved?"
The shooting came less than three weeks after student Charles "Andy" Williams, 15, killed two students and injured 13 at Santana High.
An off-duty San Diego police officer happened to be on campus, registering his daughter, when the gunfire erupted. He began the hunt for the shooter and was joined within minutes by two sheriff's deputies who drove up. The trio confronted Williams in a bathroom and arrested him.
After the shootings, support was overwhelming to place a full-time school resource officer in each of Grossmont's 10 high schools. (Its two charter schools have other arrangements.) It has been that way ever since.
Now, Officer Eric Thornton roams the hallways of Granite Hills.
His armed and uniformed presence provides a level of comfort at the school, but he is so much more than a guard and investigator.

Grandparents and NXT

I've thought of a similar thing - put Legos in nursing homes. Instead of watching TV, playing cards, etc., they could have Lego and NXT contests. If a researcher hasn't looked into this as a way to stave off early death or Alzheimer's, this it worth looking into. Retired engineers and scientists probably would love it because they can do technical things that they don't need to be in their old workplaces for.

But maybe programming on the computer won't be so good on theire eyes though... But sounds like an good idea, I wish my grandparents were like that :-P

I am a Grandparent and I have been building Lego Robots for 4 years. I recently purchased the NXT which has been a great deal of enjoyment for my Grand Children and me. I am 73 years young and buy every book available on Robots. Robitics is the next technilogical rage. It will be like computers were in the 80's I have built a number of robots using the Basic Stamp, and the ooPic R board. I would highly recomend robotics for the older generation, It is a great way to keep ahead of the Grand Kids :-)

That's great to hear! My grandpa loved to fish and used to take me fishing in the Gulf... I don't think it matters what you're doing, but spending time with the grandparents is always good.
- Jun 5, 2007, 6:59:00 AM
Your Grandpa enjoyed spending time with you more than he enjoyed fishing, you can bet on that.
I purchased your first book, and really enjoyed the informatin available in it. I am looking forward to your next publication.
I spend more money on books than beer, and thats insane.

That's a sound idea - but the programming would be a bit tricky for some - maybe a bunch of people could from these sites could setup a OAP Programming Service. In most cases people can describe very well what they want logically on paper in English and pseudocode.

Thanks for the link Jim! Adult life has many of us blind to the things that are really important. We are just not as simple as we should be these days. Caught in circles so that we miss the earth while standing on it. Constant attention is needed because if we don't watch we will loose sight again.
It's all about the kids. ...And (in my opinion) should always be. Growing them to be kind and gentle will position this world for a better future.

Wow...giving back.
The programming service is a fine idea. Not very difficult either. Only a dedicated force of programmers would be needed.
I can see it now....
A queue of help needed...and programmers that choose one to work on.

I do not belong to goggle.
Am 66 yesrs old and have used and read about compturers and robots for a number of years, if not decades. I have a 4 yr. college degree.
PROBLEM; I am legally blind. The NXT was my first LEGOS. I had to use a magnifier to get the START HERE robot built (took over 4 hours).
Waqs starating to follow the simple demo programnes. On sound, the brick asked me if I wanted to delete the sound demo program? Sure! It was just a demo I did. Results I now have no sound on my brick. I thought I was just deleting a personal try demo, not the actual program code.
Thus, how do I get back the LEGO Brick sound program? Do I have to deinstall and reinstall the whole LEGO c-d? Or, do I only have to UBS the Start Here Robot and then hit the NXT Icon on my desktop?
Just found this blog and gald to see some are thinking ahead. I feel LEGO did not think about first time users much on NXT.
LEGO Co. should make a movie rather like TOY STORY and combine it with the TRON angle, the young characters have to build robots and take them with them into the story. Marvel (MVL) and Mattel (MAT) should be good partners on such a movie, for LEGO (if LEGO mmgt. is up to it).
If anyone can steer me to LEGOS 'NXT Kindergarten' programning, I would be greatful.
I have a number of LEGO books and found Dave Prochnow Hacker's Guide interesting.

I don't know of a current book on programming in NXT-G, but Jim Kelly has a book on programming the NXT-G coming out in August--LEGO Mindstorms NXT-G Programming Guide. Reviews of Jim's previous book (The Mayan Adventure) were excellent and from what I see of Jim's writing, he's very good at explaining things in layman's terms.
- Jun 10, 2007, 5:10:00 PM
Thanks Rick R.
I think thats the book for me, I thought about getting his Mayan Adventure, though I am not ready for it yet.
Was able to find a discounted LEGO 2916 Set (for the Treads and Wheels it has).
Anyone noted the new air-less design Tires that Michalin Tire Co. is working on? Should be very interesting for LEGO Vehicle
builders to consider. The tire design 'flexs' over obstacles, and utilizes an outer and an inner layer of flexibility strut
The design might be useful for novel forms of gearing also (appying various torque forces would distort a gear/ratio)?

It seems that most of the comments are from grandparents but not baby boomers. The first year for that was children born in 1946. Although not a grandparent (my kids are 11 and 15), I became active with the RCX and then the NXT when I coached my son's FLL team. I sure there are lots of older Americans who should love the opportunity to "play" with the NXT. I love it!!

There are so many colors in the crayon box. Why do we see only black and white?
And why must one side be entirely in the right and the other absolutely in the wrong.
To illustrate one example of the need to sometimes look beyond just a two-tone view and what you think you know, let us examine the enigma of Carlos Quentin.
I don't recall enjoying a jerk as much as I enjoy Quentin.
I say that with absolute respect and with absence of malice.
I'm a bit of an expert on jerks.
I mean, even if I play humble and disagree with the assessment of more than a few people that I am a certified jerk, I have nonetheless qualified for a PhD in that particular field of study. You cover the highest level of sports for any length of time, you come in contact with a lot of jerks.
You have to be cool with it; you have to understand it.
Rare is the man who makes it to the pinnacle of perfection in one facet of his life without sacrificing growth in another part of his humanity.
There's not a lot of self actualization in the pros. Just saying.
The reality is, too, I don't know if Quentin is a jerk. He may just play one around the media.
One thing I respect about Quentin is that he is straight up about not caring for my ilk. Or more aptly put, simply not caring about my ilk.
He's respectful about it, with no malice. Thus, I feel compelled to return the favor.
As you assess the man, you must understand Quentin is all about working and rehabbing in order to play the maximum number of innings. You have to realize he is a throwback, a guy who perpetuates respect for the game in word and deed on the field and within the clubhouse. You should know how much he despises the "cheating" that has tainted baseball. You need to recall that he has missed much time to injury and just Tuesday was hit by a pitch and sat a game because of it. You ought to give thought to the fact he didn't charge the mound after any of the previous 115 times he had been hit, including by pitchers who had hit him more times than Zack Greinke had.
All that context is to lend some perspective to what transpired Thursday night.
Nothing makes what Quentin did in going after the Dodgers pitcher right.
But Quentin's guilt doesn't make what he did indefensible — given the history between the two men and considering all that Quentin has shown he is.
We should take Quentin at face value when he explained Friday he has attempted through intermediaries to reach out to Greinke over the past three-plus years to clear whatever bad air there is between them. We also have to believe, based both on his words and the video evidence, that Quentin did not intend to charge the mound immediately after being hit.

Completed: Spring 2003 | Size: 4,500 sq ft
The 4,500-square foot Olympic Sports Athletic Training Room services Texas A&M's large contingent of student athletes situated on the University's west campus.
Located across the street from Olsen Field and directly adjacent to the softball, track and soccer venues, the facility gives Aggie athletics one of the most complete athletic training facilities in the country. It was completed in the spring of 2003 as part of the west campus complex that also contains buildings for track, soccer and softball.
The Olympic Sports Athletic Training Room contains a spacious treatment center that features 16 treatment tables, 10 electrical modality units (electrical stim and ultrasound) and four taping tables. A laser used for laser therapy is also contained in the facility, making A&M one of only a handful of universities in the country that possesses one.
In a room at the rear of the building are three whirlpools to provide further therapy options to the athletic training staff. The room contains two 15-person whirlpools, one "hot" and one "cold", along with a third standard whirlpool.
The front of the building houses offices and examination rooms for the five general practitioners and three orthopedic surgeons that work with the Aggie athletic programs, as well as a Flouroscan machine.
Offices for the full-time athletic training staff members that work with the sports situated on west campus are just off the main floor of the athletic training room. Student athletic trainers share an office off of the main floor as well. Both full-time athletic trainers and student athletic trainers have locker room facilities to utilize before and after athletic events.
Rounding out the amenities are restrooms, a storage area and a garage that is used to store coolers, golf carts, an ice machine and other equipment.

We even got to hear a fair bit of Snuff. And my husband won't stop singing the Hedehog Song. But now I am motivated by several reasons to see if we can't start our own Broken Drummers here in Brisbane. So what say you Brisbane folk? Shouldn't we get together?
If other people are out there who are in a Broken Drummers or similair DW based social groupings and have useful advice I would be interested to hear from you too.
Feel free to im me.
Anyhow. Would LOVE to meet up. I'm actually at that glitzy glamour place further south, but the train's good.

At the moment, the only times I try solving programming puzzles are:
- When I'm bored
- When I happened to find an interesting puzzle, while not actually searching for such (e.g. someone asked about such a thing at SO)
I would probably get better effects (become better at them) if I solved them routinely. Do you solve puzzles routinely (e.g. one problem at Project Euler or somewhere else per day) and/or would you recommend others to do so? What is your "programming puzzle solving routine"?

Dairy Kugels:
And More Delicious Dairy:
Kim Kushner's most requested Kugels
Chef and cookbook author Kim Kushner shared two of her most requested recipes with KosherEye.
As a member of a large family, Kim Kushner learned to cook by eating, and helping to prepare family feasts during the many summers she spent in Israel. She pursued her interest in food preparation by studying at the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan and worked at several food publications as well. Kim's skill at preparing gourmet kosher dishes from simple and fresh ingredients resulted in positions as a private chef in New York City, teaching private cooking classes, and now the publication of her book, The Modern Menu.
Her dairy Blintz Souffle is a classic, served year after year at her break-the-fast-meals. Her Zucchini and Noodle Kugel is an updated classic - a parve kugel that guests enjoy to the very last drop.
