[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09/128,896, filed Aug. 4, 1998, which claims the benefit of provisional patent application serial No. 60/075,659, filed Feb. 23, 1998, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to race events. More particularly, the present invention allows a person to listen to communications of race teams participating in a race event where the person is remote from the race event.
[0003] Race events, such as motor vehicle racing, are a steadily growing sport. In many forms of racing, a driver communicates with a crew during the race to discuss strategy and vehicle performance. The communications are commonly listened to by fans at the race event, allowing the fans to become more involved during the race. However, the transmitters used are not powerful and are generally limited in range so as to function within the area of the race track. Thus, only those fans at the race have the ability to listen to the race communications. For fans watching the race remotely, such as on television, the communications are not generally available except for occasional excerpts provided by the race broadcaster.
[0004] A computer-implemented method and system allows a remote computer user to listen to teams in a race event. The method includes receiving audio signals from a plurality of audio sources at the race event; transmitting at least some of the audio signals to a remote computer; and filtering the audio signals as a function of the source of at least some of the audio signals so that at least some of the audio signals are not played by the remote computer and heard by the user.
[0005]FIG. 1 is a pictorial representation of a race event and a system of the present invention for monitoring race communications and providing the communications to a remote fan.
[0006]FIG. 2 is a user interface for selecting which race communications to listen to.
[0007]FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a channel of communication for one team.
[0008]FIG. 4 is a monitor illustrating a form of user interfaces for remotely viewing and listening to a race.
[0009]FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a server.
[0010]FIG. 6 is a representative view of a data packet.
[0011]FIG. 7 is a block diagram of remote computer.
[0012] A race event is illustrated in FIG. 1 at 10. In the embodiment illustrated, the race event 10 is a motor vehicle race involving a plurality of cars at 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. The cars race on an oval track 26. The track 26 includes a pit area 28 used for periodic refueling and maintenance of the cars 12-18 during the race.
[0013] During the race, the driver of each of the cars 12-18 are in communication with team members located in the pit area 28. The drivers of the cars 12-18 discuss race strategy including when to perform refueling and maintenance on the car during the race. Generally, each team is assigned a particular channel or operating frequency to the exclusion of all other teams so that the driver and the team can communicate easily. In the embodiment illustrated, the driver of car 12 communicates with a team member located in the pit area 28, designated at 12A, while the driver of car 13 communicates with a team member 13A, also in the pit area 28.
[0014] In many race events, additional team members may be located at other areas on the track 26 during the race. For instance, a �spotter� 12B is also sometimes present during the race, The spotter 12B watches the race and communicates with the driver of car 12 and the team member 12A located in the pit area 28, providing relevant information concerning the race. For example, the spotter 12B informs the driver of car 12 when he has cleared another car during the race and can safely pass in front the other car. Likewise, a spotter 13B communicates with the driver of car 13 and the team member 13A in the pit area 28 similarly. As stated above, each of the teams for the cars 12-18 have team members in the pit area 28 and spotters communicating on separate assigned channels.
[0015]FIG. 1 further illustrates a system 30 of the present invention that allows a remote fan to selectively listen to communications made by the team members of each team during the race. The system 30 includes an antenna 32 tar picking up all communications made between the team members of each team during the race. A radio receiver 34 is connected to the antenna 32 and provides the communications to a computer 36 as audio signals 38. The computer 36 is located at the race track 26 or remote therefrom. However, whether located at the track 26 or remote therefrom, the computer 36 is connected to a wide area network 40, such as the Internet. A remote race fan uses a remote computer 42 connectable to the wide area network 40, and accesses the computer 36 (hereinafter �server�) in order to receive information from the server 36 indicative of the audio signals 38 and, thus, the communications of the race event 10.
[0016] The server 36 and the remote computer 42 can be a personal computer, laptop computer or other suitable computing device connectable to the wide area network 40 using phone lines, cable lines, satellite links, or other suitable communication means. Generally, the remote computer 42 includes a display or monitor, an input device, such as a keyboard or a mouse, and speaker, not shown, but well known. The remote computer 42 further includes a suitable microprocessor and support peripherals such as random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM) and storage mediums such as a hard disk, floppy disk/drive and/or optical disk/drive communicating with each other over a system bus, again all well known in the art. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention described below include modules that can be implemented in hardware, software or a combination of both hardware and software.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the remote fan using the remote computer 42 can select any or all of the team communications to listen to during the race. FIG. 2 is an embodiment of a user interface 50 displayable on the monitor of the remote computer 42. The user interface 50 comprises a list 52 of each of the participants in the race. The list 52 includes unique identifiers 54, such as the car number or the team name, for each of the race participants. Using a suitable input device, such as a mouse, the remote fan selects any or all of the participants to listen to during the race using the unique identifiers 54.
[0018] In a first embodiment, selection of a race participant to listen to can be identified by a �check� indicated at 56 for the corresponding identifier 54. During the race, the communications pertaining to only those selected teams in the list 52 would be provided to the speaker of the remote computer 42 for listening by the remote fan. Communications of teams not selected in the list 52 would be filtered by either the server 36 or the remote computer 42 (if all of the communications are passed through the wide area network 40), and not provided to the speaker of the remote computer 42, In this manner, the remote fan can choose which participants to listen to during the race, while ignoring or filtering out all other communications. In a further embodiment, when there exists any communication between the driver, the pit area or the spotter, if present, of a selected participant in the list 52, the unique identifier 54 corresponding to the communication is uniquely identified in the list 52 so as to signify to the remote fan which team is currently being heard through the speaker of the remote computer 42. For instance, the unique identifier 54 can flash (as illustrated for team number 64), be presented in bold face or highlighted when communications are being heard over the speaker of the remote computer 42. As stated above, typically each team is assigned a unique channel or frequency, thus, identification of each communication is relatively easy.
[0019] In a further embodiment, the remote fan can prioritize the selected teams in the list 52. In the embodiment illustrated, a priority number is indicated at 58 for each of the teams selected. The highest priority team is herein indicated as �1�, while the lowest priority team is indicated as �3�, By prioritizing, the remote fan can be assured of hearing substantially all communications from a particular team, while still being able to hear most of the communications from other teams. For instance, if communications are currently being heard from a priority �2� team through the speaker of the remote computer 42 and communication starts for a priority �1� team, the audio being played over the speaker of the remote computer 42 will immediately switch to the priority �1� team. Likewise, if a priority �3� team communication is currently being heard and a priority �2� team communication begins, the speaker of the remote computer 42 will then start providing the priority �2� team communication. However, if during the playing of a communication, a lower priority communication begins, the lower priority communication will not be delivered by the speaker of the remote computer 42 until the communication of the higher priority communications suspends, which is typically signified by silence for a given time period. In addition, if during the communication of a priority team, another communication of a team having the same priority begins, the communication of the first playing team will not suspend until the communication is over. At that time, the communication of the other team having the same priority will then begin.
[0020] In a further embodiment, the list 52 can include other audio sources such as TV commentary provided by a broadcaster televising the race event 10. The list 52 can also include race or track officials broadcasting on a radio frequency at the race event 10, which is typically only heard by fans or participants at the race event 10. Like the teams in the list 52, the TV commentary and track channel can also be selected and/or prioritized in the manner described above.
[0021] The TV commentary can be provided to the server 36 as indicated at 67 or to the remote computer 42 as indicated at 69, wherein the TV feed is separately provided to the remote computer 42 or the TV feed and the signals from the wide area network are provided to a single assembly such as a settop box, Communications pertaining to the track channel can be received by the antenna 32 or otherwise provided directly to the server 36.
[0022] In another further embodiment, the remote fan can also select to hear the race leading participants regardless of whether or not they have been selected in the list 52. A selection field is indicated in the user interface 50 at 60. The selection field 60 includes a user selectable number of leading participants to listen to at 62. The selectable number 62 is adjustable from zero to any desired number of participants. A priority field 64 can also be provided and functions similar to the priority indicators described above. Thus, in the embodiment illustrated, if there exists a communication from one of the first three race leaders, and that team was not otherwise selected from the list 52, the communication will be played over the speaker of the remote computer 42 and the unique identifier 54 will be highlighted or otherwise identified to the remote fan in the list 52.
[0023] Current race statistics identifying the position of each of the race positions of the cars 12-18 can be provided as an input to the server 36, as indicated at 65. Based on the race statistics, the server 36 or the remote computer 42 can determine if a communication from a particular team meets the criteria of field 60.
[0024] In yet a further embodiment, the user interface 50 allows the remote fan to choose which team members of each team to listen to if a communication exists. In the embodiment illustrated, upon selection of the unique identifier 54 for a particular participating team, a list 70 listing the team members communicating on a team channel is provided. Typically, the team members include a driver 72, a team member 74 located in the pit area 28 and one or more spatters 76 also communicating on the team channel. The list 70 also includes corresponding selectable portions 78 for each of the team members 72, 74 and 76 communicating on the team channel. By using an input device, such as a mouse, the remote fan can select which team members 72, 74 and 76 of each team to listen to while filtering out communications of unwanted team members from that team. This feature is particularly useful at some race events where communications from spotters occur frequently; however, the information may not be particularly interesting to the race fan. By allowing the remote fan to select those communications of each team that he is interested in and filter out communications from other team members, audio heard from the race event 10 can be more enjoyable.
[0025] In the embodiment illustrated, the unique identifier 54 corresponds to the team member in the list 70 when that communication is being heard over the speaker of the remote computer 42. Thus, when the driver is being heard over the speaker, his/her name will appear flashing, highlighted or in bold in the list 52 as illustrated with respect to car number 64. Likewise, when the team member in the pit area is being heard, a suitable designation such as �PIT� will appear in conjunction with the car number.
[0026] In a further embodiment, some or all team communications can be stored for later playing. For instance, as explained above, priorities can be set so that some team communications will be heard over others. In the event, overlap exists in the communications such that one team is not heard because another team communication is being heard, the former communication audio signals can be stored (either at the server or at the remote listener's computer, discussed below) so that the listener can hear the communication at a later time. Any overlapping communications can be stored in this manner.
[0027] If desired, list 52 can include an identifier 53 that indicates a stored communication of the corresponding team. The identifier 53 can also indicate the team member speaking, for example, �D� for driver, �P� for pit, etc. In FIG. 2, a table 55 can be accessed indicating all of the stored communications for that team. The listener can then indicate which communication to play from the table 55. The indications in the table 55 can also include a time stamp or other signifier (e.g. a lap identifier for that team or referenced to the race leader) to give the listener information as to when the communication was made. The listener can individually play each desired communication, or alternatively, playback can begin with that communication and continue with other communications from other members of that team within a selected duration (from the first identified communication or from last played communication), which can be adjusted if desired at 57.
[0028] In one mode of operation, the stored communication can be played automatically when there are currently no other selected teams communicating. In another mode of operation, the listener can indicate playing when the listener desires, for instance, by activating the identifier through an input device such as a mouse. If during playback, a higher priority communication is received, the higher priority communication can be played immediately or stored automatically for later playback.
[0029]FIG. 3 illustrates communication between the team members of the team comprising car 12, the team member 12A in the pit area 28 and the spotter 12B. As stated above, the communications of these team members is herein considered a channel. To identify each of the team members in order to allow filtering using the list 70, suitable analog or digital identifiers are associated with the communications from each of the team members. For instance, if the team members communicate over a digital channel, a unique digital tag can be associated with the driver of car 12, the team member 12A in the pit area 28 and the spotter 12B. Based on the digital tag, the communication from that team member is played over the speaker of the remote computer 42 if that particular member has been selected in the list 70 of that team. In another embodiment, each of the team members can transmit on their own unique carrier frequency, but be able to receive communications from the other team members which are also transmitting on unique frequencies. In this manner, if a communication exists on a frequency corresponding to a team member selected in the list 70, that communication would be heard over the speaker of the remote computer 42. In this embodiment, although unique frequencies have been assigned to each of the team members, that set of unique frequencies is considered a team channel.
[0030]FIGS. 1 and 4 illustrate other information that can be transmitted to a remote fan using the system of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a display or monitor 100 at the remote computer 42. During the race, the monitor 100 displays identifiers 102 for each of the participants, for example, those selected in the list 52. The identifiers 102 can be continuously provided on the display 100 or selected and displayed at the control of the remote fan. A major portion 104 of the monitor 100 can show the picture currently being received from the television broadcaster. As stated above, this signal can be provided to the server 36 as indicated at 67 or to the remote computer 42 as indicated at 69. In addition to the television broadcaster's view of the race event 10, one or more of the race cars 12-18 can be equipped with cameras as is commonly known in the art. Each of the signals from the cameras in the race cars 12-18 can be provided to the server 36 as indicated at 106, with the views of each of the cars 12-18 provided to the server 36, the remote fan can select one or more views from the car views 106 as he desires with the remote computer 42. In the embodiment illustrated, a portion 108 of each identifier 102 is identified as a �car view� for that particular car and is used to select the car view for display on the monitor 100. The selected car view then can be displayed in a portion 110 of the monitor 100 in conjunction with the view provided by the television broadcaster. If desired, the car view can be expanded to cover all of the monitor 100. In another embodiment, each of the car views can be provided in a list, similar to the list 52 illustrated in FIG. 2, and selected when desired by the remote fan.
[0031] In a further embodiment, the server 36 receives telemetry signals from each of the cars 12-18 indicating, for example, the speed of the car, the engine speed of the car, the current gear and when brakes are applied. This information is provided to the remote computer 42 and displayed on the monitor 100 such as indicated at 112. In the embodiment illustrated, the telemetry signals are received by the radio receiver 34. The remote fan selects which telemetry signals to display. In the embodiment illustrated, a portion 114 is provided for each of the identifiers 102 to select the corresponding telemetry signals of each car. If desired, a list similar to the list 52 described above, can be separately provided for the selection of telemetry signals.
[0032] In a further embodiment, team statistics can be separately selected and displayed when desired. In the embodiment illustrated, the statistics are selected through a portion 116 of each of the identifiers 102. The team statistics can include, for example, the participant's current position in the race, the top speed obtained during the race, the average speed during the race, the average speed for the last five laps, the pit times during the race and the average time in seconds behind the leader. These unique statistics for each of the teams are displayed on the monitor 100 when selected by the user using the remote computer 42. Each of the team statistics are provided to the server 36 as indicated at 65 and updated as necessary during the race.
[0033]FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary server 36 for transmission of race information, discussed above, through the wide area network 40 to the remote computers 42. The server 36 includes a processing module 120 that receives any or all of the audio signals 38 and stores the signals if necessary, the telemetry signals, the race statistics 65, the car views 106 and the television feed 67. The processing module 120 processes the information for transmission to the remote computers 42, which typically includes digitizing the signals and forming the digitized data into data packets that are sent through the wide area network 40 to the remote computers 42 through a transmission module 122. The use of transmitted data packets, which can be sent individually, or grouped as files, to provide substantially continuous viewing and/or listening from a remote location over the Internet is well known. One manufacturer using such technology includes RealNetworks, Inc. of Seattle, Wash., which produce REALAUDIO and REALVIDEO. These systems allow a user of a remote computer to select a particular �audio station� or �video station� from a server across the Internet. A data stream is then transmitted to the user whereat a receiving module provided on the user's computer converts the data stream for display through the monitor and/or output through the speaker.
[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the processing module 120 processes the information into data packets that include information for at least two different audio, video or telemetry signals for different teams. Referring to FIG. 6, an exemplary data packet 140 for audio signals is illustrated. It should be understood that the embodiment shown is for illustrative purposes only and that other data packets having alternative structures can be used in the present invention.
[0035] The data packet 140 includes portions 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147 and 148 corresponding to each of the team channels for the cars 12-18, respectively. In particular, the values contained in portions 142-148 are indicative of communication between the team members for each respective team. In the embodiment illustrated, analog-to-digital converters 149 are provided to convert the audio signals 38 to digital values, which are provided to the processing module 120. Of course, if the audio signals are digital, the analog-to-digital converters are not required. The processing module 120 receives the digital values and forms data packets 140 that are transmitted to the remote computer 42 through the wide area network 40. In the exemplary embodiment, the length of the data packet 140 is a function of the number of team channels present. Typically, the length of the data packet 140 will be limited by the throughput of the connections forming the wide area network 40. In some situations, it may be necessary to form the different data packets for different sets of teams. The remote computer user would then select which stream of data packets to receive. This is represented in FIG. 5 as data lines 150A, 150B, 150C and 150D. For example, data packets for data line 150A can be for a first set of five preselected team channels, whereas data packets for data lines 150B and 150C can be for a second and third set of preselected team channels. In contrast, data packets for data line 150D can be for team channels dynamically selected. For example, the team channels present in data line 150D can be the top five cars leading the race, wherein the processing module 120 forms the data packets for data line 150D from the race statistics 65. Alternatively, the team channels present in data line 150D can be chosen based on other criteria including requests made by the remote computers 42.
[0036] In a further embodiment, the data packet 140 includes a portion 160 having subportions 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167 and 168 corresponding to each of the portions 142-148. In particular, the values present in subportions 162-168 are used to identify the particular team member of each team that is talking during the instant of time that the data packet 140 represents. As explained above, a race team can include a driver, a pit member and a spotter. The unique value is associated with each of these members and used in the portions 162-168 to identify the team member that is talking. In effect, the portions 162-168 comprise identifiers or tags for each of the portions 142-148. In one exemplary embodiment, one or two bytes can be used for each of the portions 142-148, whereas one or two bytes can be used for the portion 150 wherein two bits are associated with each portion 162-168.
[0037] In the data packet 140 described above, each team is identified by its position in the data packet. It should be understood that further information can be transmitted to the remote computer 42 so that the remote computer 42 can properly determine which teams comprise the data packet, Even in the case of data line 150D, the server 36 can transmit information to the remote computers 42 indicating which teams currently comprise the corresponding data packets. In this manner, unique identifiers need not be associated with each team or team member as data is transmitted, which reduces the amount of data transmitted. However, in an alternative embodiment of the present invention, identifiers can be associated with each data packet identifying which teams and/or team members are associated with each corresponding data packet. This allows the data packet to only contain teams currently communicating at any given instant. Accordingly, the data packets can be of varying length. Although described above with respect to team audio signals, it should be understood other audio signals such as the television feed 67 can be included. In addition, similar data packets can be formed for video and telemetry information, or alternatively, integrated into the data packet with the audio signals. Compression techniques can be used to minimize the length of the data packet, if desired.
[0038] In yet a further alternative embodiment, each data packet can be for only one team channel or team member. Identifiers can be included to identity which team or team member the data packet is associated with. If desired, any of the above-described data packets can be transmitted using multiplex transmission communication techniques incorporating, but not limited to, time division, frequency division or phase division.
[0039] Referring to FIG. 7, the remote computer 42 includes a receiver module 170. The receiver module 170 receives the data packets and processes the information contained therein. The receiver module 170 receives the data packets according to any of the transmission techniques described above. In one embodiment, the receiver module 170 functions as a filter and only allows those teams that have been selected (check 56) to be heard over a speaker 174. The selections can be stored at 175. In a further embodiment, the selections 175 can include priority and team member selections. The receiver module 170 processes each data packet according to the assigned priority and team members to be heard, as discussed when desired.
[0040] Race statistics 65 are periodically transmitted from the server 36 to the remote computer 42 and stored at 176. The race statistics 176 are accessed by the user for display on a monitor 177 as desired and used to assign priority in accordance with values selected at 62 and 64 in FIG. 2.
[0041] In another embodiment, at least some of the filtering is performed by the server 36. For example, data line 150D represents transmission of audio signals for a selected number of teams leading the race. Thus, although the server 36 receives all communications from the receiver 32, only those communications pertaining to the selected number of leading teams are transmitted to the receiver module 170. In this embodiment, the receiver module 170 can pass all communications to the speaker 174, or, if desired, further filter the communications pursuant to stored preferences.
[0042] In one preferred method of operation, the receiver module 170 can be used for a plurality of race events. In particular, information regarding each of the teams for use in the user interface 50 and display of FIG. 4 is provided to the remote computer 42 over the wide area network 40, for example, from the server 36 or another remote computer, and stored at 178. The remote computer user then selects those audio channels of interest, assigning priority levels and choosing which team members will be heard, if desired. Data packets and race statistics are received periodically. As data packets are received and processed, the user interface 50 or display of FIG. 4 is updated to indicate which audio channel and/or team member is being heard over the speaker 174.
[0043] If desired, more than one speaker 174 can be used for playing audio signals. FIG. 7 illustrates a second speaker 180. In one embodiment, the speaker 180 is used for playing audio signals from a first set of one or more teams, while the speaker 174 is used for playing audio signals from a second set of one or more teams. Upon receipt of the data representative of the audio signals, the receiver module 170 filters the signals to each of the speakers 174 and 180. In another embodiment, the speakers 174 and 180 can be used when assigned priority values would cutoff an audio signal being played through the speakers. For instance, if communications are currently being heard from a priority �2� team through the speaker 174 of the remote computer 42 and communication starts for a priority �1� team, the audio being played over the speaker 174 can continue, while the communication from the priority �1� team will be played over the speaker 180. Although described with respect to the use of two speakers, it should be understood that three, four or more speaker systems can be used similarly.
[0044] Although the present Invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Great time. Tour guide was great and a pleasure to spend time with. My husband was happy to meet up with The General at Tanked and both Johnny and Jeremy from the Pawn Stars. We made sure we visited Fremont St at night like the guide mentioned and had a great time. If you like the shows you will enjoy this tour.
Great tour would recommend this tour. Guide was good.
Very nice tour - the tour leader did a great job!

On the first Friday of each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the Non-Farm Payrolls report. Commonly called "the jobs report", Non-Farm Payrolls highlights employment changes across 10 private labor market sectors including insurance and finance.
Wall Street watches Non-Farm Payrolls closely.
The report affects today's mortgage rates. Among the reasons why is that the Federal Reserve's stimulus programs are linked to the U.S. jobs economy, and the Fed has actively worked to keep mortgage rates down.
February's Non-Farm Payrolls will be released Friday.
With a better-than-expected read, mortgage rates and APRs are expected to climb. With a worse-than-expected read, mortgage interest rates are likely to fall.
Click for today's live mortgage rates.
The Non-Farms Payrolls report is a broad look at the U.S. labor market. By industry, it shows which economic areas are expanding, and which areas are contracting. It also reports the U.S. unemployment rate.
Non-Farm Payrolls is a monthly Wall Street highlight. Job growth is paramount to economic growth, and economic growth drives investment strategy.
Recently, the jobs report's importance has been magnified. This is because the Federal Reserve is actively stimulating the economy and its programs will continue so long as the economy requires it.
Low mortgage rates spur refinances as well, which increase household savings and contribute to higher levels of consumer spending.
Freddie Mac reports the average 30-year fixed rate conventional mortgage rate at 3.75% nationwide. VA mortgage rates and FHA rates are lower.
VA rates average 0.375 percentage points below comparable conventional loans; FHA average 0.25 percentage points below.
Many banks now offer mortgage rates in the mid-3s with equally-low APR. Home buyers are buying homes cheaply. Refinancing households are saving hundreds of dollars each month.
Use the home mortgage calculator to see how much money you can save.
The U.S. labor market is tightly tied to housing. Jobs provide households with income, confidence and capital; and, confident persons are more likely to buy a home or relocate.
Meanwhile, as the number of buyers in a market grows, the supply-and-demand curve shifts, which results in higher prices for sellers and the creation of real wealth. This, too, can boost confidence.
Furthermore, employed persons are also more likely to be mortgage-approved. Even before your first day of work, you can get a loan via the offer letter mortgage.
It's no coincidence that the labor market's recent rebound has coincided with a rise in U.S. home values.
Nationally, sales prices are up between 20-25% as compared to earlier this decade with some markets -- including Phoenix, San Francisco and Los Angeles, among other -- rising nearly twice that amount.
Rising home prices would typically be bad for a buyer's purchasing power, but 30-year mortgage rates are near their lowest point since May 2013. Home affordability remains near its highest point in history and homes are selling quickly.
One-third of all homes sold in 30 days or fewer last month.
With a strong jobs report Friday, mortgage rates are expected rise. You get less house for your dollar when mortgage rates are up. It may be prudent to lock a mortgage rate today.
Click for a quick, live rate quote.
Between 2008-2009, the U.S. economy fell into recession, catalyzed by the failure of Lehman Brothers; the near-collapse of mortgage lending; and the movement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship by the Federal Home Finance Agency (FHFA).
7.4 million jobs were eliminated.
Since that period, though, hiring has resumed. 10.5 million jobs have been added back to the U.S. economy -- a 142-percent recovery in terms of "employed persons". The jobs are not of equal pay or stature, but an increase in the number of employed persons is a net-positive.
Furthermore, unemployment rates have dropped, down more than four percentage points.
Should February job data read stronger-than-expected, the Fed may begin making plans to raise the Fed Funds Rate, which would suggest a strengthening economy and inflationary pressure. This would likely result in higher mortgage interest rates.
Analyst calls are for 230,000 net new jobs created in February, with estimates ranging from two hundred thousand to two hundred-fifty-two thousand.
Consider locking your mortgage rate before the Friday morning release is made. Rates are expected to change.
In January, the economy added 257,000 net new jobs. For February, it's expected to show 230,000. The jobs report releases Friday at 8:30 AM ET. Today's ultra-low rates could be at-risk.
Want low rates? Your best chance may be to compare and lock rates prior to the Non-Farm Payrolls release. Rates are available for free with no social security number required to get started, and with no obligation to proceed whatsoever.

Help Identifying this Clematis - PICS
It's about 3 years old.
This year it reaches the top of the feeder.
Sometimes, it is very difficult to identify a Clematis variety even with blooms. It is virtually impossible to do this without flowers. There are hundreds of type II Clematis varieties that look just like this one.
Post pictures when it will bloom for you.
Thanks Alina
The problem I'm having is it hasn't bloomed.
I haven't cut it back because I don't know what kind of
Clematis it is.
But early this spring before growth some branches came off at the base of the plant.
I wonder if this kept it from flowering this year.
I don't believe I put too much nitrogen in the soil.
I can do a soil test.
Ok, you just made me go out & look at all the foliage on my different varieties, you pay more attention to the flowers I guess, & couldn't come up with an answer for you. Both my type 2's, LLF & SOME viticellas have leaves like yours. You still aren't seeing any buds?! That's weird, unless it is from the atragene group, which I don't have any of to compare foliage to. If you aren't seeing buds at the state your clematis is at, either there is something majorily wrong or it is a type 1 clematis that hasn't established itself enough to bloom on old wood. The later I would still expect to have seen a bloom or 2 by now.
Atragenes have totally different foliage, it is much more finely divided. All of mine have bloomed at one third that size too.
How much sun is it getting?
You've never pruned it in three years and it has never bloomed?
Are you using a high nitrogen fertilizer? Are you using any fertilizer?
The one next to it is Clematis Bonanza
and it was planted this 5-12-2009
it has flowers on it now.
Originally when I planted the tall one
I fertilized it with moo doo and 10-10-20.
Aug 2007 it had a lot of brown leaves
so I watered it a lot more
and put fall leaves mulched from last year around the base.
End of August 2007- still the same.
I planted periwinkle around the base of it in 2008.
Periwinkle was planted late in the year so most didn't come
back up.
So I decided to plant Cranesbill Geranium around the base
to give it cool roots early this Spring.
I used last falls mulched leaves around the bottom of it
for the most part.
Maybe some egg shells that I chopped up in my Cuisinart
from time to time and coffee grounds.
Not often because I don't drink it and
it would only be on weekends for husband.
And coffee would have to shared with other plants.
Husband usually throws it out anyhow.
I don't think I've fertilized with too much
because I didn't know which kind this was.
I have similar problem with one of my clems. I bought it as Mm Baron Veilard and it has been 3 years I have seen no bloom. It gives great leaf show, I moved it to full sun location and since I have >60 clems successfully growing I do not think it is matter of fertilizer. This is the last year it is given a chance to bloom and it grows like crazy. After that premium spot goes to someone who deserves it better.
In my last post I forgot to compliment your trellis'! I love that ladder made out of what looks like branches from the Prunus family. Very clever.
Lindalana brought up something that might make sense if you aren't seeing buds yet. Her Mdm Baron Veillard is a real late bloomer, not starting until Aug. I believe. I don't have any that bloom that late & hopefully someone that does can chime in to whether or not they are seeing buds yet.
I wouldn't move it just yet. It sounds like you are doing everything right & it sure looks healthy. I would wait til fall & if it hasn't bloomed by then whack it down & move it.
I have Madame Baron Veillard. Mine is just starting to bud, but 3-5 feet of vines survive winter, so I can only assume that is it blooms on old wood too.
MBV must have full sun for the vines to ripen, but even with that, it blooms so late that frost kills most of the buds. If you want to replace it with a similar flower, Comtesse de Bouchaud would work and will almost grow as tall.
I too have MBV in a premium location. I'm pretty sure it will be replaced next spring.
Clematis don't need cool roots, they need moist roots. That instruction got lost in translation somehow and just won't die. You don't have to grow something over their rootzones. This can actually compete for water and nutrients.
For flowering you want a fertilizer with a higher middle number than the other two. Especially higher than the first number which is Nitrogen. You want a bloom booster type or one for fruiting as that is the same need for phosphorus. I'd try that and if that doesn't work, move it to get more sun.
The pinks like Nelly Moser do well in shadier locations.
This whole 'myth' thing is such an oxymoron. I'd hate to heve been the one that coined 'cool' roots. Well, in my mind 'cool' causes water evaporation to go at a much slower rate giving the clematis more moisture for a longer period of time than having the sun bake on them, even if it is mulched. My water bill was so high last summer, I am going to provide 'cool' roots to my clems this summer. I agree the plant can't grow & compete for nutrients & not sure how cranesbill grows, but there are alot of plants out there that have foliage that can shade the root system. I don't have a drainage problem here so I know that won't cause root rot either.
Coming from someone that wants to be more H2O conscious.
True, cool does slow moisture evaporation but so many people think that Clematis must have something covering up the root zone to live and that just isn't true. People worry so much about it and they don't need to.
I've seen hundreds of them in black plastic pots in full sun at local nurseries growing like weeds. Growers certainly don't worry about keeping the roots cool or shaded, just watered.
I just went out and had a look at my MBV. She isn't setting buds yet. I think this particular clematis always needs more fertilizer than the others, however she was here when I moved here 42 years ago, so maybe the soil is just getting depleted. She gets compost for mulch, and a high bloom number fertilizer. She always has nice bloom in July and August

The recent increase in the railway freight charges and the increasing fuel prices are spelling doom for the construction industry in the State that is already going through a lean phase.
Kerala being a consumer State, most construction materials such as cement and steel are brought from other States. Kerala is far behind in the manufacture of these items, and Malabar Cements, the public sector enterprise could meet only 10 per cent of the cement requirements of the State. Big cement companies have exploited the situation by increasing the price by around Rs.50 citing the increased freight charges as reason. A bag of cement that cost Rs.330 earlier now costs around Rs.390 and Rs.400 in retail.
The Licensed Engineers and Supervisors Federation (LENSFED) has alleged that the government had failed in controlling the private cement companies. The increase in cement price is a great dampener on the plans of an average man who wants to build a house on a fixed budget. Just by the increase in the cement prices, the cost for a 1,000 square building will cost Rs.45,000 more. Besides, the steel price has increased from Rs.6 to Rs.8. Floor tiles, PVC pipes and paints too cost much more these days.
The prices of metal and M Sand which are locally procured too have increased. On the one hand the quarry owners are exploiting nature and the authorities are unable to control them while on the other, unauthorised quarries are shut down in the name of Kasturirangan and Gadgil committee reports, but no measures are being taken to resolve the scarcity.
The revenue and police departments continue to harass people while transporting construction materials. Sand is not available from the river ghats even a year after applying for it. The authorities turn a blind eye towards options such as extracting sand from dams.
With the increase in prices of basic necessities and fuels, the wages of the construction labours have been increased. With the introduction of Foreign Direct Investment into the construction sector, the local small scale contractors and engineers will have a hard time. The government should take steps to protect the construction sector, the federation says.

Love comes and goes
Sometimes decades sometimes months
Raise you up to the sky
Make you feel like every little thing is bright inside you
Crashing back down
Make you so sick that you want to drown
No other pain, like losing a soul mate
The roads we take in life often seem to be very strong.
Walk them carelessly like were walkin on bricks and stone.
Only when we look behind that we will see the road is cracked,
Oh, there we must move forward, gently as we tread.
To carry our guilt sometimes seems the only thing that's easy
Eats away your flesh and bones and all it is you need
My good amigo once said that the truth will set you free
But I guess we have to wait sometimes, wait around and see
Now see the sun rising again
Brand new colors, brand new man again
Sweeping up the pieces of the brokenness
Sweeping up the pieces, but the pieces never end.
No other pain, like losing a soul mate

IF you don't have any success with correcting these factors, you may be able to restart fermentation by pitching onto a fresh yeast cake, or adding champagne yeast, simply strring up the yeast. IF it has only been 1 week, you are rushing things, if it has been 3 weeks (on primary) and the room you have it in is 55 degrees, it is too cold. If you never aerated well enough to begin with, then pitching onto a fresh yeast cake may help because you slightly aerate the wort in the process and the yeast cake is already acclimated to an alcohol rich environment.
I started batch 1 on 11-13, and gravity hasn't changed since day 3. I've stirrded it, added yeast energizer, and repitched with a standard muntons ale yeast from the lhbs. Its now in a secondary, should I put it back into the primary to add the champagne yeast or just leave it alone? I'm willing to try anything to get a lil more abv
You don't think ill get off flavors from adding yet another pack of yeast do u?
You don't need to move it again. Just add the yeast directly to the secondary. Nor should you get any off flavors from adding the champagne yeast. Just keep in mind that sometimes people have success with pitching champagne yeast, and sometimes they don't. I'm not aware of any fool proof method to get it going again. In addition to re-pitching, I would put the fermenter in the warmest room of your house.
Question for the experts here Would you guys use the full pound of Maltodextrin in a batch of this Oatmeal Stout, or would you cut it down a bit? Thanks for the help, about to start this kit.
I'm glad I found this thread. I just purchased the Brewer's Best Oatmeal Stout kit. I plan on brewing in the next couple weeks. I'll be using liquid yeast though. I wonder if that will change the results at all.
TravisBeer Brewing Equipment
I think ill use a little less than half of the Maltodextrin and see what happens? I shouldnt get any bad results from that, I think?
wow, interesting that i found this here.
i had pre-planned to start this exact kit today!
keep this thread going on what you guys find, and i will do the same.
Cutting down on the malto-dextrine will not drastically affect this beer. It will simply be less creamy and have a little less body. 1 pound of maltodextrine will add about 7-8 points for a 5 gallon batch to both the OG and the FG because it is only about 12% fermentable. The recipe as it stands (excluding the malto) would have an OG of around 1.051-1.054 and FG of 1.013-1.018. Therfore, even adding 8 points to the high end of the FG (which would be 1.026), does not explain an FG of 1.033. Now if you cut out 1/2 of the malto-dextrine, that should leave your FG at the high end of 1.022.

Lils Mackintosh
Lils Mackintosh (Amsterdam, June 11, 1955) is an award winning jazz- and blues singer and is considered one of the most distinguished artists in the Dutch jazz scene. Lils has worked with the likes of Oscar Peterson, B.B. King, Scott Hamilton, Rita Reys, het Rosenberg Trio, Cor Bakker, Madeline Bell, Hans Dulfer, Candy Dulfer, Louis van Dijk, The Beets Brothers, Georgie Fame and the Dutch Swing College Band.
Lils Mackintosh is a Dutch singer, composer, actress and writer, and the daughter of the singer Max Woiski jr. and granddaughter of musician Max Woiski sr. At seventeen she was talent scouted by the Dutch actor Jack Monkau and traded a formal education for a career in music.
The early years (1972-1990)[edit]
Being the daughter of two parents in the music industry, a career along that road seemed a natural step to take. Lils became a professional singer with the acceptance of a role in the musical 'Hair'. Next she played key roles in the Dutch rock opera Ik, 'Jan Cremer' and the high profile musical 'Barnum'.
Lils then decided to become more experienced as a lead singer and played in different rock and hardrock bands. She also toured on a regular basis. One of the highlights was an extended tour in Sudan, Kuwait and Egypt. This was also the period in her career where she had the honor to perform with jazz legends like Oscar Peterson and B.B. King. In 1977, Lils released her first jazz single, a cover version of the Rodgers and Hart classic 'My Funny Valentine'.
Transition to jazz (1990-now)[edit]
Winning the 1990 'Vocalistenprijs' at the Dutch Jazzconcours in Breda lead to a significant career change. Lils then decided to specialize in jazz music. She started to perform extensively in Europe and the United States and was a regular performer at the legendary North Sea Jazz Festival.
In 1993 she released her debut album, 'It's not perfect to be easy'. She received recognition for this album with the nomination for an Edison Jazz Award. Two more albums were released in this period: 'This is the strangest life I've ever known' is released in 1994, followed by 'Seasons', in 1997.
Being an artist with the desire to develop and transform, Lils took a different take on her career when she formed the 'Lils Mackintosh & The Swing Cats' band in 1998. This period also marked the return to the theatre, with the 'Jazznight' theatre tour, together with the Beets Brothers, the Stylus Horns and the Rosenberg Trio.
Her fourth studio album, 'Black girl' produced by the renowned saxophone player Hans Dulfer, is a tribute to the American blues singer and guitar player Huddie Ledbetter. The album was released in 1999 and made a big impression in the jazz scene. This, in turn, lead to Lils' first Edison Jazz Award.
Published on multi-channel SACD in 2002, Lils' first live endeavor was a recording session at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam, in front of a live audience. The album, named 'In the wee small hours of the morning' was well received by both critics and audiophiles.
That same year the Beets Brothers released the first ever Dutch jazz DVD, featuring Lils and Hans Dulfer.
A close collaboration with saxophone player Wouter Kiers, lead to the release of the concept album 'Comes love' in 2005. All of the songs deal with different aspects of love and relationships. After a period of extensive touring in Europe, Lils released the album 'About crazy'. This 2008 album is an intimate portrait of an artist who has seen significant ups and downs in her personal life. Lils also used the classic Hammond organ to create a distinctive moody and melancholic sound. The album coincidentally marked the start of her long term collaboration with the Dutch saxophone player Clous van Mechelen.
The release of the 2010 album 'A fine romance' is an audiophile's delight. This was actually a remastering of Lils' debut album. In this version, extra care was taken in finding the right balance between voice and band, and achieving the highest possible sound quality. The album is a classic demo disc for the demonstration of high end audio systems.
Lils learned most of her craft by doing many performances, and has always had the desire to share her knowledge, experience and mostly her passion for singing. In 1995 Lils started giving masterclasses and workshops, at jazz festivals and in theatres. In these master classes Lils used her experience to help aspiring singers further develop their voices, to use the stage to their advantage, and above all, to emote.
Nowadays, Lils does a monthly masterclass in Amsterdam.
Future projects[edit]
2012 marks the celebration of Lils' 40 year anniversary as an artist, which will result in the release of a new live CD. Lils will record this album together with the renowned Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw.
Vocal type[edit]
"Few singers can do jazz with a raw and bluesy feel like Lils Mackintosh." - Angelique van Os, journalist, 2009.
Lils is often compared to Billie Holiday, but that comparison is superficial at most. What these singers have in common is the capacity to immerse themselves into a song and sing it as if it were their own story. But other than that, Lils' sound is very much her own. She has a multi octave range, but uses two distinctly different voices to emote her music. Her lower voice is more bluesy in character and has a full warm sound, her high voice has a husky feel to it; it's melancholic with a little rough edge to boot. Lils is instantly recognizable and her timing and phrasing are exemplary.

Our waiter (Gary) did a great job and was very personable. Atmosphere is great.
I had made the reservation 2 weeks in advance and specifically requested a window table. We arrived on time and all tables next to the windows were occupied (one table that had places for four people had one person sitting at it). Not a huge deal, but disappointing. Additionally, there was some Gala going on in the lobby of the building with several hundred people that was being catered by the Racquet Club. This would have been nice to know when I made the reservation. Needless to say, the wait staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. We ordered salads, then 10 minutes later we were informed they were out of the lettuce required to make the salads. Again, not a huge deal, but slightly annoying. Only other complaint was the check was incredibly confusing with charges for random things everywhere. You also pay tax and tip based on the inflated menu prices, not the voucher price (I would have done this anyway, but I don't like being specifically billed for it).

As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and the Audi A5 in the front seats.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray as you will with the Audi A5, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Audi A5, which has a much lower MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray will cost more in transportation costs than the Audi A5.
The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a little wider than the Audi A5, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is slightly shorter than the Audi A5, which may make it easier to park.
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Audi A5.
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has a much more powerful engine than the Audi A5. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has less seating than the Audi A5, making the Audi A5 the better choice if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has a roomier cargo area for holding your bags or other items than the Audi A5.
The basic warranty of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is not as nearly as extensive as that of the Audi A5.

The ME shutter will work without the battery, but only on 1/100 or B settings. Quite a neat design really, 1/100 is the x-sync speed so you can either use it indoors with flash or Sunny 16 outside if your batteries expire.
I'd check the battery cover plate, chances are it's got some gunk from the old battery on it. Just clean the part where the battery touches it with very fine wire wool (make sure no shreds of that get into the camera) and reassemble. I resurrected a "spares or repairs" ME this way last week.

Host an international student
Hosting an international student in your home is a great opportunity to help students who are new to Australia, learn about another culture, and build lasting cross-cultural friendships.
Your homestay student will live with you, as part of your family. Often our international students remember their homestay as the best part of their experience in Brisbane.
What's expected of me?
As a homestay provider, you'll be expected to provide a safe, inclusive environment for the student that you're hosting. This includes:
- treating the student as part of the family
- providing a private, clean and warm bedroom, food, and laundry facilities
- offering help, guidance, support and encouragement with language practice and studies
- being responsive to different cultural and religious practices and beliefs.
Students will stay in their homestay for a minimum of 4 weeks, but we recommend that students stay for 3 to 6 months.
Why host an international student?
In return for your hospitality, you'll be paid a weekly amount for hosting a student. Students can choose between 2 options for homestay:
