The FIRST competition, designed to get high school students interested in science and technology, continues to expand. Founded in 1992, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology gives students six weeks to design, build, program and test robots that match up in regional contests and culminate with an international championship meet in Atlanta, GA, April 16-18. More than 42,000 students from 10 countries received parts' kits with 604 items. This year, that includes MPC5200 Power microprocessors from Freescale Semiconductor. The contest rewards both good designs and collaboration. The latter includes working with competing teams, as well as with team members.

Modern Health Care
First, let's define "no-compromise." In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible. Read More
