A narrow majority of the Board of County Commissioners voted Tuesday to send a letter to the Florida Department of Health to urge the removal of Gulf County Health Department executive director Marsha Lindeman.
Commissioner Carmen McLemore, expressing displeasure with the direction of the department and the outcome of an investigation into a recent termination at the Gulf County Health Department, requested the BOCC send the letter.
He was joined by Commissioners Tan Smiley and Warren Yeager. Commissioner Bill Williams dissented and Commissioner Ward McDaniel abstained based on a conflict.
The matter spilled into the regular bi-monthly BOCC regular meeting when Willie Ramsey, representing a committee appointed by the BOCC, reported on the findings and recommendations from an investigation into the recent firing of a 25-year employee of the Health Department.
Ramsey reported that the committee found that an issue existed, that the extent of the investigation was stymied marginally by the fact that the employee was a state, not county, employee and that the committee unanimously supported the termination.
"We recommend that no action be taken on this termination and that the board should consider expanding the committee to include members of the health department," Ramsey said.
Ramsey stressed that the Health Department is a state agency and that the committee was limited as to the extent it could examine state personnel records. But all information provided by local and state health officials supported the termination.
McLemore, however, disagreed.
He said a 25-year employee should not be fired without full cause and that his own investigation had not uncovered that cause. He said while the employee may have received a paycheck from the state, they were still a county constituent.
"We have to take care of our own people," McLemore said. "Ever since (Lindeman, who took over some two years ago) has taken over this health department we've had major issues. We need to do something about that.
"Tallahassee don't know our people, we do."
McLemore said the issues would not be as pronounced if a local candidate had been named health director – Lindeman was hired out of the Tallahassee office after the BOCC recommended Wewahitchka resident Jim McKnight to the DOH – and urged the board to make their feelings known.
Williams, who was a member of the committee that reviewed the termination, cautioned that, as the BOCC learned two years ago during the hiring of a replacement for former health director Doug Kent, the BOCC has limited say in DOH operations.
He said that the Health Department has taken massive budget cuts over the past two years and those cuts are impacting services and personnel. He said much of the issues uncovered in examining the termination – poor work attitude with patients, scheduling problems, follow-up appointments – could be more easily traced to cost constraints.
"The fact of the matter is that Doug Kent built a healthcare delivery model here that the state is moving away from," Williams said. "These additional programs and additional personnel are going to be cut."
Williams also said that he agreed with the committee's recommendation to expand membership to include Health Department staff and to allow that staff to feel they have a voice with the BOCC without fear of retaliation.
County attorney Jeremy Novak said the BOCC certainly had a voice in the process, but ultimately personnel decisions, such as the health director, would come down to a decision in Tallahassee, not in Gulf County.
Wewahitchka Courthouse
The board approved spending $105,000 on repairs to the old county courthouse in Wewahitchka to address leaking walls in the back of the building, where the Extension Service is located.
On a temporary basis, the Extension Service will locate to the old Health Department building across the street while renovations to address leaking and mold is undertaken.
Tentative budget
During a public hearing on Monday, the BOCC adopted a tentative millage rate and budget for the coming fiscal year.
The final budget hearing will be at 5:01 p.m. ET on Monday, Sept. 24 in the BOCC meeting room.
The millage rate set Monday was 6.0553 (minus Municipal Services Tax Units for beach renourishment), which represents a cut of taxes of 7.74 percent. The rollback rate, that which would bring in the same amount of ad valorem revenue as this year, was 6.5631.
A mil represents $1 for every $1,000 in taxable property value.
The gulf-front MSTU millage is 6.6693, down more than 3 percent and the interior gulf MSTU millage is 3.5014, a decrease of less than one percent. The local bond on the beach renourishment will be paid off this fiscal year.
Commissioners also amended an earlier motion to match dollar for dollar the city of Port St. Joe's contribution to the Gulf County Chamber of Commerce/Economic Development Council.
The county and city will each pay $20,000 to the agency.

A man who one day might be pope...
The soloist in the video of this 2009 performance was then the Bishop of Imus in the Philippines. Luis Tagle is now the Cardinal Archbishop of Manila. Having become a cardinal only last fall, the recent conclave was his first.
Only 55 years old, Cardinal Tagle has a conclave or two yet ahead of him. This man could, one day, become the pope...
If you take the time to watch the video, make the time to listen to Cardinal Tagle's brief remarks after the song.
(The choral group in the video is the choir of Our Lady of the Pillar Cathedral, Diocese of Imus.)

We are blessed to have Pope Francis as our new pope and perhaps one day to have Chita Tagle as a successor to St. Peter. Both seem to be so genuinely unassuming and naturally kind. Loved the peck on the cheek given by Pope Francis to his "nemesis" Christina Fernandez. Pope watching hasn't been this fun in a long time!

Just FTR: He goes by "Chito" - I believe "Chita" would be the feminine form.

Thank you very much for posting Cardinal Chito Tagle in your blog. We, Filipinos, feel so blessed that he is back in Manila. I was very nervous during the conclave. Being a close friend since we were seminarians in San Jose Seminary in Quezon City, I was "afraid" for him to be the Pope too soon and also by losing him for the Universal church. I surmise that for the meantime he needs to practice his Italian to become the bishop of Rome in the future, Please join me in praying for him and the Filipino people around the world.

So good to hear from one of Cardinal Chito's priests! I certainly understand your feelings - but I also hope that your bishop is studying Italian!

If you're an engineer, a buildup project typically has a precise timeline from start to finish, with performance benchmarks pacing a tight schedule. Miss any milestones, and you might be out of a job. But when you're talking about a high-velocity Vette, it's not whether you complete it on time, but how fast you can pass by those road markers once it's done.
Rob Rose knows both sides of these equations. Since he's handled all sorts of complex computer projects in his professional life, he's accustomed to staying on schedule. After all, he waited three years to the day for his '03 Z06's warranty to expire before calling a number of turbo companies to improve the car's power output. Even so, his buildup project's timeline stretched out much longer than expected until he reached an 800-plus-horsepower benchmark of performance. (Punctuality wasn't the issue, and really, if you're running a bit late, you can always stomp harder on the go-pedal, right?)
After shopping around a bit, Rose settled on the STS Turbo Systems kit, which mounts a pair of puffers remotely near the tailpipe, replacing the stock mufflers. He chose the STS unit for two key reasons: space and temperature. "There's not a lot of room under the hood," he points out, "and I didn't want to try to cram a turbo in there. Not only that, it can generate a lot of heat. I've seen turbo housings glow cherry red from running hard on the track, and I didn't want that in the engine bay, melting wires, hoses, or other components."
STS claims a reduction in heat by as much as 500 degrees at the turbos themselves, eliminating the need for a turbo timer to prevent coking on the bearings. In being mounted farther downstream in the exhaust system, the STS unit has a few other advantages as well, such as ease of installation (about a day for a moderately experienced wrench, using standard shop tools). In addition, the rear-mounted turbo acts as a muffler, creating a special sound that is completely different from the typical huffing and rattling of a blow-off valve.
Other benefits include a cooler intake charge for the engine, due to the inherent intercooling effect of the longer tubing, and the fact that no special headers or other exhaust components are required. (Rose nevertheless added Kooks ceramic-coated 1 7/8-inch headers and a 3-inch midsection.) In addition, the system improves on the front/rear balance by putting more weight near the back end. (Factoring in the poundage removed by the elimination of the factory mufflers, the total increase in weight of an STS system is about 125-150 pounds.)
But Rose's selection of the STS system was contingent on one thing: The kit had to be street legal. While some Corvette tuners might sneer at that requirement, Rose had good reasons for doing so, and STS principal Rick Squires agreed with them. Getting a CARB E.O. number for an aftermarket power-adder can be a daunting task, but the process was vital to the company's marketing plans for the C5 system.
The first turbo that went on Rose's ride was an air-cooled unit with a conventional journal-bearing setup. The results were impressive. With a dual boost controller, he could dial in anywhere from 5 to 8 psi, good for as much as 558 hp at the wheels (around 657 hp at the flywheel, assuming a 15 -17 percent loss from the driveline).

Love the color and the softness

Winter Staple
These are a staple in my winter wardrobe. I normally wear a Medium, but order these in Large as they do shrink after washing (even according to directions). Have even ordered XL if L was sold out.
Debbie S
Falls Church, VA
sending this one back
love the pink, sweater is comfortable, but slightly see through.... plus the turtleneck knit is not suited to being a turtleneck... it rolls up on itself... what a disappointment
Great Sweater
I ordered the black and ivory to go with the wool plaid skirts that I ordered. They look great! I am 5'6" w/a longer torso and shorter legs. The length is perfect-about 1 1/2 iches below my hips. I wash everything on cold and hang up to dry, so I am not expecting shrinkage. I just wish it would be cold already instead of mid-Sept 105 degree heat so I could wear them. Sadly I will have to wait until mid-October or early November.
Well Made but TOO SHORT
I have these sweaters in several colors. The other reviewer is correct, shrinkage has not been taken into acct when sized. I would LOVE to have these sweaters be 2 inches longer so I didnt have to pull them down all day.
Chicago, Illinois
Nice, but....
I like this sweater, but it does shrink considerably, even when washed according to the instructions--at least an inch off the sleeves and length. Definitely order up if you're wavering between sizes.

How RoboCenter works
To start a project, you click on the + beside a category. For this walkthrough, I'm going to open the Animals category.
For each category, there is one major project (in this case, Spike). Each project is broken up into sub-projects that allow you to slowly build the device and program it. In some instances (like the Vehicles category - TriBot) each sub-project has you doing something a little different with the device. For the TriBot, for example, most of the projects have you using a different sensor and learning to integrate it and program it with the basic TriBot base. Here, I'll click the "Go" button for Spike to see the sub-projects.
The Spike project opens... and I see that there are 4 sub-projects: Crawling Base, Tail, Sound Sensor, and Reactions. I will click on "Crawling Base" and show you how each sub-project is broken down into further steps.
Here, you'll see the first step is to complete the "Building Guide". Each sub-project is broken down into 4 steps:
Building Guide, Programming Guide, Test Guide, and Next Step.
If you click on the title "Building Guide, it will minimize, showing you all the steps (see next image)
For each of the 4 steps, you will be given visual instructions. In the case of the Building Guide, you will see images showing you how to build Spike using the NXT components. In the Programming Guide, you are given visual steps for programming using the software...
Here, I've skipped ahead a little bit (step 14 of 37)... if you click the "Zoom +" button...
... you'll get a full-screen view of the assembly instructions. Click the "Zoom -" button to return to the smaller view.
Here is a view of the Programming Guide, step 3 of 6. Each step either shows you the block to drop in OR the block's configuration panel (with little arrows showing you where settings should be changed from defaults to something specific to Spike).
And, finally, a view of the Test Guide. Here you're given the tasks to perform with the particular sub-project you are working on. In this example, for each of the 4 steps you were to test a particular function. The final step (4 of 4) gives you a checklist to verify before you click on "Next Step" - (which simply takes you to the next sub-project - in this case, the "Tail" project) - and suggestions for fixing any problems you might encounter.

Would you mind to take some screenshots of the 'Machines' sections in the software.. I'm curious what bot's are in there besides the 'ball grabber'.
Hoping for some robotic arms or other nice machinery..

For the Machines category, you are building the T56 RoboArm.
The sub-projects are:
1. Basic Arm
2. Hand
3. Recognize Colors
I'll see about getting you some images...
For the Vehicles category, you build the TriBot with the following sub-projects:
1. Driving Base
2. Bumper
3. Grabber
4. Sound Control
5. Light Sensor
6. Locate Object
For the Humanoid, you build the famous AlphaRex with sub-projects:
1. Walk
2. NXT as body - Turn around
3. See
4. Talk, Feel, Hear
5. Light

I'm not real sure I'm happy that the constructopedia is softcopy.
Is there any hardcopy building instructions/hints/tips/etc?
I feel that many people are going to struggle with the studless tech in the beginning.

There is a small hard-copy building instructions for the basic core of Tribot, but most of the plans are on the hard drive. Not that the Spybots were also like this (and also studless). I agree it's limiting... but far cheaper to produce that way, and you can include programming instructions in the same package.
A "studless hints/tips" document would be very good...
Brian Davis

I believe there IS a Hints/Tips document in the works... just a rumor ;)
As for the lack of printed documentation - with the building instructions in ZOOM mode, the detail is fine. The NXT set does come with 2 print documents - one is the Quick Start guide that shows you how to build the basic TriBot... the other is the more comprehensive book that covers operation of the Brick, BlueTooth, software, and misc...
Studless building is fairly intuitive, in my opinion. I'm not sure having another print document that shows how to snap things together is really necessary. After about 1 minute of playing with the various components you're throwing them together with confidence. Going thru the 18 challenges also helps to demonstrate various techniques.

I am using the Education version of the NXT software (from kit 9797). I don't see the 'RoboCenter' in the right pane - instead I have 'Robot Educator'. This does not seem to include the build instructions for Spike, Tribot etc.
Am I looking in the wrong place, or is this normal for the Education set.
- Aug 17, 2006, 11:44:00 AM
I also have the education set - the one from FLL. I do not have the Robo Center, but instead the Robo Educator. Can someone please help me with access to the Robo Center? Thanks Much!!

hi i also have the same problem as above about the software and it is also not showing me the building instructions for any of the robots any help would be appreciated as this is highly annoying to not be able to build the robots any help would be appreciated. thankyou
- Jan 4, 2007, 5:48:00 PM
I have both versions of NXT (Regular + Educational)
The Educational Set gives you a whole set of different parts, and the simple robot design included with the Edu version isn't on the Regular Version. Instead of designs, it gives you tutorials.
The Regular Set gives you four robot designs (more can be downloaded), but no tutorials. instead there are robot challenges.
If you have both versions, it will only let you keep the Edu version, not the Regular version. Does anyone know if you can run both? Or make a hybrid? That would be awesome.
- Aug 14, 2007, 10:09:00 AM
Me too,just bought the 8527 package and do not get the building instructions,I e-mailed technical support and will see what answer I get.
If a get a solution,will post it here

Let's face facts: we live in a throw-away society. What was cutting-edge a year ago is on the scrap heap now. VCR not working? Throw it away and buy a new one. Computer outdated? You could upgrade, but it's usually cheaper to get rid of it and buy the latest and greatest, not to mention the fact that an upgrade-no matter how extensive and costly-probably won't measure up to the newest model. Is your automobile more than a couple of years old? Trade that sucker in! Why fix something that's worn out and outmoded? Why indeed..
A single look at Bill Verboon's '62 Corvette is all it should take to convince most enthusiasts that upgrading rather than throwing away can be a wonderful thing. Verboon, along with then-new wife Karen, bought his first Corvette in 1960. That white and red '59 carried the newlyweds on their honeymoon, and started a lifetime involvement with Corvetting. Among the many slick rides owned by the couple have been a '60 and a '62 (a Duntov Award winner), and a '91 ZR-1. The '62 became the couple's "N.C.R.S. let's go on the road tour driver." Their last trip in that car, however, made clear the limitations of 38-year-old technology. That summer drive from Durango, Colorado, to the couple's home in Hanford, California, subjected them to 120-degree heat, and Verboon decided that it would be "impossible" to ask Karen to drive cross-country in an un-air-conditioned car. So what would it be? Replacement? The couple already own a '98 convertible. Upgrade? That would be easy enough-there are plenty of aftermarket A/C systems available. Bill Verboon, however, had entirely different ideas.
He chose to upgrade. But even the casual observer will probably notice that this '62 has had a bit more done to it than the addition of air conditioning, and Verboon is quick with an answer when the obvious is pointed out: "It's always overkill with me. I like to start out with a bare frame and build a pristine car." And there's always a method to his madness: "I have a plan in mind when I build a car, and like to carry it out to the extreme."
Verboon's plan for a bit of overkill began to take shape in 1996, when he met Paul Newman of Car Creations. VETTE readers are already familiar with the work of Mr. Newman ("Prescription for Fun," Mar. '00), and when Verboon drove Newman's own '62, Verboon knew that this was the next step for him. After taking a year to find a donor car and assemble a budget for the project, work began in earnest. The bare frame went to Newman's California facility (3430 Pomar Dr., Dept. VM, Templeton, CA 93465; 805/226-9201), where it was extensively modified to accept the complete front and rearsuspension systems and brakes from a '90 Corvette. That '90 also donated its rack-and-pinion steering and 3.42:1-geared rearend. Car Creations then modified the stock pedals to work with a custom master cylinder before sending the works back to Verboon.
At this point, it was up to Verboon to make his plan a road-going reality. He estimates that he spent over 1,000 hours of his own time on the project, and it's hard to argue with the results. Two elements were central to "The Plan," according to Verboon: "Lots of guys can build show cars, but you can't drive them anywhere. With mine, you can jump in and drive-you just have to clean it up afterward. I build them to be fully functional." On the other hand, Verboon loves to build cars that are recognized by other enthusiasts with People's Choice awards; "that's what it's all about," he says. So..

2015 New Orleans Saints Tickets
The Saints have been playing football in the Big Easy since the franchise's inauguration in 1967. The franchise got off to a very slow start, finishing below .500 in all but a couple of its first 20 seasons in existence. All of that changed when current owner Tom Benson purchased the franchise in 1985 and hired Jim Mora as the team's head coach. Under Mora, the Saints posted their first winning season in history in 1987 and subsequently made its first ever playoff appearance. Mora's Saints were a consistent threat through the end of his tenure midway through the 1996 season. In 2006, with Sean Payton taking the reigns at head coach, the Saints once again became an NFL powerhouse. In 2009 Payton's gutsy play calling was influential in the Saints' Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Four players officially have had their numbers retired by the Saints: Jim Taylor (31); Doug Atkins (81); Sam Mills (51) and Rickey Jackson (57). Though those numbers are retired, active players are still permitted to wear them on their jerseys. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for New Orleans Saints tickets.
The Saints had another good season behind Drew Brees, finishing 11-5 but losing to the Seahawks 23-15 in the divisional round of the playoffs. The Saints have long had one of the best offenses in the league with guys like Marques Colston, Jimmy Graham and Pierre Thomas at the All-Pro quarterback's disposal, but it was the Rob Ryan's defense that really stepped up in the 2013 season. They figure to be even better this season after signing Jairus Byrd in free agency to start next to former Longhorn star Kenny Vaccaro at safety. The Saints also picked up veteran corner Champ Bailey, hoping he can regain the form he had in 2012. New Orleans will start the season with two away games in Atlanta and Cleveland. The first home game at the Superdome will be Week 3 against the Vikings, after which the Saints will play against the Cowboys in Arlington. New Orleans will also play big home games against the Packers, 49ers, Bengals and Panthers, plus away contests with Carolina, Pittsburgh and Chicago.
The Saints play their home games at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Superdome has been the home of the Saints since 1974, and has a capacity of more than 72,000. The Superdome is known for much more than just being the home of the Saints. In addition to hosting the Super Bowl, the NCAA Final Four and the Sugar Bowl, the Superdome was used as a shelter for victims displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The New Orleans Saints home bench is on the sideline of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome with sections 135-149. Mercedes-Benz Superdome parking information is covered in our Saints event guide.
Atlanta Falcons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys
The oldest rivalry by far in the NFC South, these two teams have faced off against each other more than 85 times. This matchup has been showcased on Monday Night Football six times with the most notable game being played in the first home game for the Saints after Hurricane Katrina. To intensify this rivalry, in recent seasons, the division usually comes down to one of these two teams.
A rivalry that dates back to the late 1970's, the Saints have dominated Tampa Bay over their 40+ times they have faced each other. The two teams began playing each other on a yearly basis in 2002 when the NFL formed the NFC South. New Orleans and Tampa Bay have both won a Super Bowl since the start of the 2000's, a feat that no other team in their division has accomplished.
These two teams may not be in the same division, but being neighboring states, it is only natural for New Orleans and Dallas to be rivals. This matchup dates back to the late 1960's with the Cowboys leading the all-time series, but the Saints have come out on the winning end more times in recent years.
The Saints have transformed themselves into one of the better franchises in the National Football League over the last 10+ years. New Orleans has made the playoffs multiple times since the start of 2000, highlighted with a Super Bowl Championship in 2009 that catapulted them into rare company as one of 18 NFL franchises to win a Super Bowl.
Gates open at the Superdome two hours before kickoff.
TicketCity offers a big selection of New Orleans Saints tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. Saints tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent. Marquee NFC opponents, like the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, can drive up home game prices. While cheap tickets are more plentiful for, non-conference or non-divisional opponents. Those games may offer best opportunity to purchase New Orleans Saints tickets near face value.
New Orleans is known for having unbelievable food. There are dozens of great Cajun food restaurants in the area. Of the many to choose from we recommend Cochon, Cajun Mikes Pub n' Grub, and Eat. Johnny White's Sports Bar, Mississippi River Bottom, and Barcadia are three great sports bars in the area. If you are looking for a more upscale dining experience, check out Restaurant August, Restaurant R'evolution, or Stella!. Capdeville and Root are two trendier options that will be sure to satisfy all of the foodies out there. For great pizza try Reginelli's Pizzeria, Slice Pizzeria, or Angeli on Decatur. Other good places in the area are Luke, GW Fins, and Horinoya.
The Saints 2015-2016 football schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the NFL. The Saints plays in the NFC South, which means games against the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Game times are announced by the NFL as soon as the TV schedule is set. New Orleans Saints home opener is typically one of the most popular games. If you are looking for Saints news or scores, then visit our partners at CBS Sports. They are also a good source for the official New Orleans Saints team roster.
Children two years old and younger do not require New Orleans Saints tickets to go to a Saints game, but must sit on a parent or guardian's lap for the duration of the game.
We suggest taking a cab to/from your hotel if you are staying in New Orleans. It may seem close, but it's quite a walk from the French Quarter.
Parking at the Superdome is pretty simple. To the west of the stadium are two large parking garages in-between Dave Dixon Road and Sugar Bowl Drive. To the east of the stadium are two other large parking garages in-between the same streets, separated by the Grand Staircase. These four parking garages offer the most convenient, and most available parking in the area. A fifth parking garage is located just to the south of Dave Dixon Road at the corner of Lasalle Street. There are also some open air parking lots on the south side of Dave Dixon Road, and West side of W. Stadium Drive.
New Orleans Saints season tickets are available to buy until kickoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase New Orleans Saints season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at the Superdome.

I've decided to write a blog to see if it helps me, and maybe even others, as programmers, and to help invest myself in programming communities.
Because I've just started, I have plenty of ideas, but I've been unsure if I should write articles on all these ideas at once, or space them out more regularly.
I'm guessing it won't matter if I write them quickly, but I was concerned that my other content would be lost behind the newer content, and that I could exhaust content too quickly before I think of more topics.
So, should I write them quickly as possible, or publish them more slowly and regularly?

LEGO Mindstorms NXT Orange Book
A few weeks ago I posted about Yoshihito Isogawa-san's new book, the LEGO Mindstorms NXT Orange Book. I managed to find a reliable source to order a copy (more on this later) and my copy just arrived. It's a Japanese book, so much of the writing is incomprehensible to me, but the pictures and diagrams are outstanding!
First, some details. The book is almost 130 pages, all in full-color. Building instructions are color photos, but the photos are easy to follow and duplicate. As for the programming instructions, although I cannot read Hirigana/Kanji, the screenshots of the configuration panels for each block are sufficient to determine proper settings. (Plus it's just so cool to see the Japanese version of the software being used...)
The book is broken into sections, with the first 30-40 pages dedicated to the sensors and the software and the Brick... but after that, the book has some incredible construction ideas. Like many of you, I'm one of those who say "I can't believe I didn't think of that!" - well, this book is FULL of ingenious little assemblies that do some amazing things. All I can tell you is that if you're looking to expand your building skills using the NXT, get your hands on a copy of this book... some of the concepts are so simple that you'll shake your head wishing you had thought of some of this stuff.
As for the robots you'll build - there are so many in here, I'm not sure where to start. You get a robot with eyebrows, lips, eyes, and an arm... plenty of room to expand this one and play with the programming side of it. I would have to say that GEARS are heavily covered, with plenty of examples using all the included gears (worm, too). There's an interesting section on how the author simulates shock absorbers using rubber bands that was great. You'll see an interesting idea on how to enclose the Light sensor as well as numerous examples on making the Touch sensor more flexible and useful (there are about 5 or so different small assemblies the author provides that give you some nice jumping off points for using the Touch sensor with your robots).
Now, as for getting a copy... I ordered my copy via www.yesasia.com - it took two weeks from my order placement to receiving the book, but your time may vary because of the way yesasia.com ships (it's sort of bundled approach to save shipping costs). I spent a total of $29.75 (that includes shipping) to get a copy shipped to Atlanta, GA USA... again, your cost might vary.
I'll just have to remember to give credit to Yoshihito Isogawa-san if I use any of his assemblies with my own bots. This is definitely one of the best non-LEGO-component investments I've made for my NXT kit and it's given me some new ideas for future bots.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm a rookie coach for FLL and looking for resources for myself and the kids to go through in the off season. Lived in Japan for awhile so I'm looking forward to brushing up on my Japanese and combining it with my newfound hobby, Mindstorms NXT. I just ordered my own copy! Can't wait for it to arrive!
- Nov 29, 2006, 4:05:00 PM
Is this book in written English ? On the yesasia site it's not stated clearly. At the end of the day pictures do not require any language, but...

No, it is not written in English. The chapter titles do have English translations as well as the names of the different robots, but the rest of the text is non-English. But as you say, the pictures are really enough and I spent an hour yesterday playing around with some of the assemblies and learned a few things that will benefit my future bots...
- Nov 29, 2006, 11:39:00 PM
Great resource! Thanks. I'm hoping for a copy for christmas.
Is there a list of recommended books that have great building techniques? I have Ferrari, Ferrari and Hemple. And a few "10 robots that..." books. Any other ones that are must-haves?

Hopefully some readers will give you some book ideas... as far as I know, this is the only NXT book out so far, so other books will be RCX-based.
- Nov 30, 2006, 12:44:00 PM
I ordered one from Amazon.jp (I chose the "English"version) with a credit card and asked for "fast" shipping: it arrived 2 days later! 5,300 Yen all inclusive. Well worth it!
- Dec 1, 2006, 6:14:00 PM
Actually, I'm looking for a list of books with the best BUILDING techniques. So the old RCX books are not so bad. Of course, we now have to jigger in the new motor and sensor configurations.

Phoenix Suns
Jared Dudley's done right during Suns' win streak
The Phoenix Suns have trotted out five different starting lineups during the first 25 games of the 2012-13 season.
And it's no coincidence that their latest starting five -- one that has five-year veteran Jared Dudley back in his natural small forward position -- has generated instant returns.
Over his last four games, the former Boston College star has averaged 18.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 steals per contest. The Suns in that same stretch are 3-1.
"I definitely think we're playing the right way," Dudley told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Tuesday. "I try to tell people that yeah I was struggling earlier in the year, but as a team we we're struggling."
Dudley began the year as Phoenix's starting shooting guard, but poor ball movement limited his opportunities and the Suns certainly suffered because of it. During the team's 4-7 start, Dudley averaged 8.5 points per game on 42.5 percent shooting.
"You can tell the good teams that are playing well, because usually their role players are playing well," said Dudley. "That's usually because the ball is moving.
"Early in the season, and even up until the last couple of games, we were playing selfish basketball. We didn't have a lot of assists, but we had a lot of turnovers because we were going to the isolation one-on-one."
While the Suns have not shot above 48 percent during their current three-game win streak, the ball movement has been apparent as the team has averaged 24.3 assists in their victories over the Memphis Grizzlies, Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings.
"We've shown these last three or four games, even though it's a small sample, if you play unselfish, if you play hard and you give it up to the next guy...you can be successful," said Dudley.
Although the longest-tenured active Sun suggested that a lineup tweak and the team's collective growth might be major contributors to the season-high win streak, but it's clear that Dudley -- who has led Phoenix in minutes in each of the last three games -- has been the biggest key to success.
"I just feel like I need to be on the court as much as possible," said Dudley. "I'm that guy who doesn't care about numbers. I might be scoring well now just because I am open, but if I'm not, I am willing to make the extra pass."
