1. Field of the Invention
The invention is in the field of radio frequency identification (RFID) devices.
2. Description of the Related Art
Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and labels (collectively referred to herein as "devices") are widely used to associate an object with an identification code or other information. RFID devices generally have a combination of antennas and analog and/or digital electronics, which may include for example communications electronics, data memory, and control logic. For example, RFID tags are used in conjunction with security locks in cars, for access control to buildings, and for tracking inventory and parcels.
As noted above, RFID devices are generally categorized as labels or tags. RFID labels are RFID devices that are adhesively or otherwise have a surface attached directly to objects. RFID tags, in contrast, are secured to objects by other means, for example by use of a plastic fastener, string or other fastening means.
RFID devices include active tags and labels, which include a power source for broadcasting signals, and passive tags and labels, which do not. In the case of passive devices, in order to retrieve the information from the chip, a "base station" or "reader" sends an excitation signal to the RFID tag or label. The excitation signal energizes the tag or label, and the RFID circuitry transmits the stored information back to the reader. The RFID reader receives and decodes the information from the RFID tag. In general, RFID tags can retain and communicate enough information to uniquely identify individuals, packages, inventory and the like. RFID tags and labels also can be characterized as to those to which information is written only once (although the information may be read repeatedly), and those to which information may be written to repeatedly during use. For example, RFID tags may store environmental data (that may be detected by an associated sensor), logistical histories, state data, etc.
RFID devices further can be characterized as passive, semi-passive, and active RFID devices. Passive RFID devices have no internal power supply. Power for operation of passive RFID devices is provided by the energy in an incoming radio frequency signal received by the device. Most passive RFID devices signal by backscattering the carrier wave from an RF reader. Passive RFID devices have the advantage of simplicity and long life, although performance of them may be limited.
Active RFID devices have their own internal power source, which is used to power an integrated circuit or chip in the device, and broadcast a separate signal. Active RFID devices may be more reliable than passive RFID devices. There may be fewer errors in communication between active tags and readers. Active tags may also transmit at higher power levels than passive RFID devices. However, active RFID devices have the disadvantage of requiring a power source in order to communicate.
Semi-passive RFID devices also have a power source, but unlike active devices this power source is only used to provide that energy for internal operation of the device. In other words, semi-passive devices do not broadcast their own signals, as active RFID devices do. Semi-passive RFID devices usually communicate in a manner similar to that of passive RFID devices, by backscattering an incoming RF carrier signal. Thus semi-passive devices share with active RFID devices the disadvantage of requiring a power source, while ameliorating only some of the disadvantages of passive device communication.
From the foregoing it will be appreciated that improvements in the area of RFID devices would be desirable.
According to an aspect of the invention, an RFID device is able to selectively operate in multiple passive modes of operation.
According to another aspect of the invention, an RFID device is able to selectively operate in either a passive mode or a boosted passive mode.
According to yet another aspect of the invention, an RFID device has an energy booster for selectively amplifying incoming signals, to enable operation of a passive RFID chip of the device at lower energy levels. The device may also be operated in a fully passive mode with the energy booster providing no amplification or gain of incoming signals.
According to still another aspect of the invention, a radio frequency identification (RFID) device includes: a passive RFID chip configured to communicate with a reader by backscatter modulation, without transmitting its own signal; an antenna operatively coupled to the passive RFID chip; and an energy booster operatively coupled to the antenna and the chip, wherein the energy booster is configured to selectively amplify incoming energy received by the antenna and sent to the passive RFID chip. The RFID device operates in a fully passive mode, communicating by backscatter modulation and relying upon incident incoming energy from the antenna to provide substantially all the power for operation of the chip, when the energy booster is not amplifying the incoming energy. The RFID device operates as a boosted passive mode when the energy boosters is boosting the incoming energy.
According to a further aspect of the invention, a method of communicating using a radio frequency identification (RFID) device includes the steps of: receiving energy at an antenna of the RFID device; boosting the received energy from the antenna using an energy booster of the RFID device; forwarding the boosted energy to an RFID chip of the RFID device; and using the RFID chip to communicate using backscattering, with the RFID chip powered with the boosted energy.
According to a still further aspect of the invention, a radio frequency identification (RFID) device includes: an RFID chip configured to communicate with a reader by backscatter modulation, without transmitting its own signal; an antenna operatively coupled to the RFID chip; an energy booster operatively coupled to the antenna and the chip, wherein the energy booster is configured to selectively amplify incoming energy received by the antenna and sent to the RFID chip. The energy booster enables the RFID device to communicate in multiple passive communication modes.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, the invention comprises the features hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims. The following description and the annexed drawings set forth in detail certain illustrative embodiments of the invention. These embodiments are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the invention may be employed. Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
In the annexed drawings:
A radio frequency identification (RFID) device is capable of operating in multiple passive modes, in either a fully passive mode or a boosted passive mode. The device includes an RFID chip that is suitable for operation of passive RFID devices. An antenna is coupled to the chip for receiving radio frequency signals, such as those sent by a reader/detector device. In addition, the RFID device has an energy booster which may be used to boost the energy of signals received by the device, in order to enable operation at a reduced level of RF signal. The energy boost may be selectively applied in order to transform the passive RFID device into operating in a boosted passive mode. The energy booster may include a one-port amplifier made from a transistor and an energy source that is used to power the transistor. The energy source may be a rechargeable energy source, able to be recharged by a recharger of the RFID device. Although operation of the energy booster may enable better performance of the device in its boosted passive mode, the device is still fully functional as a passive RFID device even without operation of the energy booster.
The RFID device advantageously allows better performance than traditional fully passive devices, while still enabling operation as a fully passive device. The enhanced performance in the boosted passive mode of operation may be utilized until the energy source is exhausted, while still enabling subsequent operation in the fully passive mode, with no energy boost. In addition the boosted passive mode may be selectively employed only under certain circumstances, such as when certain criteria are met, so as to extend the service life of the energy source.
Referring to
The antenna 14 is shown as a dipole antenna, with a pair of separate antenna elements 16 and 18. It will be appreciated that alternatively the antenna 14 may have a variety of other configurations, including that of a coil antenna, a slot antenna, a loop antenna, or a patch antenna, depending on the intended application for the device. Other antenna configurations are described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,298,343, the description and figures of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
The RFID device 10 also includes an energy booster 40 for boosting or amplifying the incident energy received at one of the antenna elements 16. The energy booster 40 includes a one-port amplifier 42 and an energy source 44. The one-port amplifier 42 is placed between the antenna element 16 and the input contact 20, and may be used to selectively amplify or boost energy incident on the antenna element 16. The amplifier 42 may be any of a variety of suitable one-port amplifiers, examples including a transistor biased as a negative resistor, or a Gunn diode. The amplifier 42 is used to selectively amplify or boost incoming energy from the antenna element 16. Such energy may be generated by an RF reader as part of a process for interrogating passive or semi-passive devices, or more generally for communicating with RFID devices.
Negative resistors used as the amplifier 42 may be configured by taking a three terminal active device and applying the correct amount of feedback to a common port, such that the magnitude of the input reflection coefficient becomes greater than one. At low frequencies, with a simple bipolar transistor, feedback between the emitter terminal and the base via a capacitor, with the collector held at a defined voltage, can transform the resistive component looking into the base into a negative resistor. This structure is commonly used to make oscillators, in particular Colpitts oscillators. At higher frequencies the feedback can be achieved by providing the correct loading to a one terminal of the device, with the feedback occurring via an intrinsic capacitor which is part of the device itself. For example loading the source of a GaAs field effect transistor (FET) can, via the source/gate capacitance, cause the device to present a negative resistance at the gate terminal at a specific frequency.
The energy source 44 for powering the amplifier 42 may be any of a variety of suitable compact energy sources. Examples include rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, capacitors, and supercapacitors. A recharger 48 may be used to recharge a rechargeable energy source 44. Examples of various types of rechargers include a piezoelectric generator driven by movement, a thermoelectric generator, or a photovoltaic element. In addition, it will be appreciated that excess incoming energy may be used to recharge the energy source 44.
With the amplifier 42 used to boost or amplify the energy of incoming RF energy incipient on the RF device 10, the RFID device 10 operates in a boosted passive mode. Boosted passive operation is defined herein as operation of an RFID device such that the device operates using energy for operation from RF signals received by the device, supplemented by energy from another source, such as an energy source that is part of the device. Boosted passive operation is contrasted with semi-passive operation in that boosted passive operation involves amplifying or boosting the energy incident on the device, while semi-passive operation involves use of a battery to maintain constant power to the circuitry of a chip. Semi-passive devices thus are able to perform continuous functions, such as monitoring environmental conditions. Also, the antennas for semi-passive devices may be configured without consideration for energy gathering.
Besides the boosted passive mode, the RFID device 10 is also capable of operating in a fully or purely passive mode. Fully or purely passive operation (sometimes referred to as simply "passive") is used herein refer to RFID device operation that relies upon energy for operation from RF signals received by the device, without any substantial supplementation by other energy sources. A fully passive device communicates by backscatter modulation, without transmitting or broadcasting its own signal. The amplifier 42 is selectively controlled to allow the RFID device 10 to operate either in a passive mode or in a boosted passive mode. The amount of boost or amplification provided by the amplifier 42 may be varied as circumstances require. Control of the amplifier 42 may be accomplished using logic 49. The logic 49 may be embodied in any of a variety of ways, such as on a circuit board or an integrated circuit that is part of the RFID device 10. Although the logic 49 is shown in the figure as separate from the passive RFID chip 12, it will be appreciated that the logic 49 may alternatively be built into or otherwise be a part of the RFID chip 12. The logic 49 may take any of a variety of physical forms, for example including such elements as various gates and filters, and various memories, to accomplish the processing operations described herein. The logic 49 may be configured to only provide amplification when the incoming signal on the antenna element 16 is at least some predetermined threshold energy. This prevents wasting energy in amplification when no signal is received, or when a very weak signal is received. After the threshold level of incoming RF energy is exceeded, the logic 49 may instruct the amplifier 42 to provide varying levels of gain in order to bring the signal strength up to what is necessary to provide sufficient energy for operating the RFID chip 12. Thus weak signals exceeding the energy threshold may have a relatively high gain provided by the amplifier 42 to provide them relatively large gain, while initially stronger signals may be boosted or amplified at a lower gain. For signals that by themselves provide ample energy to operate the RFID chip 12, the logic 49 may control the amplifier 42 so as to provide little or no gain.
As suggested elsewhere, strong signals may indeed be used to recharge the energy source 44, where the energy source 44 is a rechargeable energy source. It will be appreciated that the logic 49 may also be configured to limit use of gain from the amplifier 42 in other ways. For example, the logic 49 may be configured to only turn on gain in the amplifier 42 when a certain type of RF signal is received, for example signals with a certain frequency or having a certain encoding in them. As another alternative, the logic 49 may be configured to keep the amplifier 42 off when another RFID device is communicating over the same RF signal that is being received by the RFID device 10.
The energy booster 40 allows the RFID device 10 to operate with less input energy, improving performance and effectively increasing the read range of the RFID device 10 when the device is operating in a boosted passive mode. In addition to allowing the RFID device 10 to operate with less input energy, the amplifier 42 may enhance backscattered reflection signals produced by the RFID chip 12. Impedance of the negative resistor or other amplifier 42 may be selected in order to enhance reflection by the RFID device 10. Normally in RFID devices the modulated reflected signal from a device cannot exceed the amplitude of the incoming RF signal. With use of the negative resistor, the signal can be amplified, so in the modulation on or off state, the amplitude of the signal reradiated by the device is greater than that coming into the device.
Whether in the passive or boosted passive modes, the RFID device communications by backscatter modulation. In such a procedure the RFID tag 10 reflects the signal received from an RF reader, and selectively shunts its contacts to the antenna elements 14 and 16. This changes the amplitude of the combined reader signal and backscattered reflection. This change in amplitude is detected by the RF reader in order to protect the presence of a nearby RFID device. Various well-known coding methods are used to allow the RFID device to communicate data to the RF reader, by controlling the timing and duration of changes in the backscattered signal.
In an alternative configuration (not shown), the RFID chip 12 may have an additional port intended to provide bias for an external sensor or other device requiring power. The amplifier/recharger 60 may be used to gather and provide extra power for powering such an additional device.
As another alternative, the RF block 66 may be omitted, with the diode 67 having the threshold at which it rectifies changed by adjusting its impedance matching, so that the diode 67 is active only when the signal input is large. This allows the diode 67 to perform the same function as that of the RF block 66.
From the above embodiments it will be appreciated that the way the recharger 48 transfers energy would vary depending on the scheme. For methods getting energy from a solar cell or vibration, for instance, the connection is largely independent of the RFID circuitry. When the method involves an RF charging scheme, a variety of configurations could be used, such as separate antennas with a separate rectifier for recharging, with the recharging antenna could be designed to operate at a different frequency (for example, a low frequency such as 13.56 MHz, with good penetration of products). Separate connections could be made to the same antenna at different impedance points, such that the RF voltage to make the rectifier work is only achieved at very high signal strengths.
The RFID device 10 may be configured to operate at any of a variety of suitable frequencies, examples of such frequencies being 2.45 GHz, 125 kHz, and 13.56 MHz. It will be appreciated that the device 10 may be configured to operate at any of a wide range of frequencies, for example including the standard UHF bands, such as between 800 MHz and 1000 MHz.
The RFID device 10 provides many advantages over prior devices. It allows boosted passive operation to be chosen as an option selectively entered into by an otherwise passive RFID device. As described above, such boosted passive operation may enhance the range and other performance characteristics of the RFID device. However, the device continues to have the ability to function in its fully passive mode. This is true even when the device is no longer capable of entering into the boosted passive mode, such as when the battery or other energy source has been depleted. This fully passive mode allows continuation of some operability of the RFID device 10 even when enhanced operability is no longer available.
Although the invention has been shown and described with respect to a certain preferred embodiment or embodiments, it is obvious that equivalent alterations and modifications will occur to others skilled in the art upon the reading and understanding of this specification and the annexed drawings. In particular regard to the various functions performed by the above described elements (components, assemblies, devices, compositions, etc.), the terms (including a reference to a "means") used to describe such elements are intended to correspond, unless otherwise indicated, to any element which performs the specified function of the described element (i.e., that is functionally equivalent), even though not structurally equivalent to the disclosed structure which performs the function in the herein illustrated exemplary embodiment or embodiments of the invention. In addition, while a particular feature of the invention may have been described above with respect to only one or more of several illustrated embodiments, such feature may be combined with one or more other features of the other embodiments, as may be desired and advantageous for any given or particular application.

School choice and information
One of the pillars of the educational voucher system is that competition between schools to attract students would improve the quality of the education provided. Surveys in Chile have suggested that parents are not aware of the performance of their children's schools. In this paper, we assess the effect of public information of school quality on the school choice by parents. We use a data set which includes measurements of the distance between homes and schools, and the performance of the school measured by a standardized tests and the school fee for two distinct periods (1996 and 2003). Whereas in 1996, information regarding school performance was scarce, it was widespread in 2003. We conclude that regardless of these considerations, school performance is an important determinant of school choice. Thus, parents appear to act 'as if' they knew it when choosing a school. Nevertheless, making public the information regarding the performance of the schools has made it a more important factor in choosing a school.

In -- nothing has officially been on he's just been granted permission to talk and then it will do so since. -- but what there are -- -- -- -- real what's the game. I mean either he goes and they love them any gets the job at Minnesota. And I you gotta go find a new head coach or he doesn't get the job and now you bring him back as the head coach of the team. All of which won't affect that. Coach is critical -- -- Christmas spirit coaches at all levels. They go out and and and have a discussion on another achievement can come back to where they are receptive to college all time. So I don't -- -- that would it -- It's professionals. And I don't include impaired his relationship was between the players at all. But if you know wanted to you know -- the head code you're not good if you if you guys wanted him to be the head coach you're not let him talk to Minnesota. Look at this system very unique situation Chris seems to be the assist only team in his home state. Where is that -- formally resides. He ends its its.

That we would allow him to do this Adobe UN days scrambling right to edit that the Betty is -- Chris in the end you're you're you're goal. And the grizzlies goal is to do what is best for the grizzlies franchise. What's best for the grizzlies franchise is to have a coach to come back for a second year after you fired a -- two years ago I mean I'm sorry the day -- her whole family lives in Minnesota. But the goal of you guys running the team -- hard to make sure that -- -- has a happy failing light. Right. Note that many you do all age you're going to have. 881 class organization Prius into it and you're gonna have the type of commitments. Some of those involved in the organization you do have taken all their spirit need to talks. Come on the books come along. Do you keep it real with me. Don't don't just keep Israel stuff I mean it is. Carissa. I'm from Minnesota -- -- up there how god yeah he's written down on an opponent you coast government report. She just wants to have a -- they say they're not any further democratic -- and answered don't. This is just like the old days it's just like the holidays you -- -- -- and that you gotta pay do you have a pet him for any right now you can read his. Minnesota now and always. It's a wonderful travel up and look it's on the screen in the delta crown -- -- in a beach in real visionary godaddy to really angry. -- got a bad big bigger whole family is from Minnesota. Andy do you Laura first class organization you've got to think about them. You do you do take into the integrate it into with all your decisions. You know what what is that's your employees what what what they would like to do and in so we're. We're allowed him to have this discussion just for a commission district renders nothing more than -- This slow -- we'll see where this goes. You think kids if if if they love them and they hire him in Minnesota. How was that good the saudis. If you were ready for women -- their place here Chris. Just don't get too far -- yourself and I know you that you were set the world record. Yearly and -- -- -- William but this just we -- grant permission he's talking Internet forward -- Clearly a risk you're willing to take -- clearly a rescue guys are willing to take. Fairly fair enough and that's our job I had anything what are your wrist or will return did Minnesota loves -- and wants a higher in the big iron. And then end here in the -- if you're OK with that. Will will will -- affected tradition which has set occurred that has not occurred just to. Then what do you draft picks are -- returns. -- you and you know what I mean. How does any thing and they're supposed to think that this is anything well go dumpster fire. What do you mean a dumpster fire as high as. Being granted permission. So talk to routine in his home state to -- Israel these slips. He does have a relationship with Flip Saunders so what is after the collapse by the dumpster car. -- just head the CEO of that team. -- a team that won fifty something games and appeared to be on the right track and get ousted his right hand man. Got ousted U -- doing my radio show and watch an SEC football for a year. Are -- -- adults. Run in the draft. And their coaches that that's achievable tutor over and it's not. What you NBA college and international -- like and ended it ended -- -- remarks. My very I'll stop and are ready and it's promoting your show I don't want to. I don't wanna so I don't I don't wanna sell you out but everybody I saw your planner and the only thing in it was a Wednesday from one to do. Come do the Chris yeah. -- -- Thanks so now we're never doing enough to stop and ran on -- -- little the little Little League internationally you want about his draft. I do in a minute. Again. So I've got that I was doing my radio show -- every Wednesday and then the rest of the time studying the draft. Watching football -- they dig around the country. Ed Ed now he's back in charge and the -- and viable league. And the two guys that worried -- they're no longer here and now the coach is interviewing somewhere else like how. Like everything is hunky dory. But did so to change business group so mean we've talked about this many times most of the players are missile they are traded repeatedly. Throughout their careers. Change change occur from the top down in virtually all these organizational regular basis. So it's nothing that's in common with the India. And we'll move and here they were out here. Watch shouldn't the leaders series to work out today news -- -- to -- the clippers facility. Group work out of work out for the agents -- what player this is normal procedure. Yeah you're just stick that yes per day you'd literally yesterday -- -- is like this -- between Levy and a parent and nothing's changing with me and where full steam ahead going forward in your body idea and you were doing the same thing de -- is our coach -- beautiful world premiere -- -- -- you guys knew that he was going to be don't want an interviewer and what that. -- And from vehicles they had the seat of -- interviews this was a -- takes a week. Mean he's he's been doing work -- coaches do normally this time a year switched its plans for future review what you're getting a little bit that the compressing because facetious or so tax. So and he hasn't been this tractors were overlooked or as I mean. You're the one that seems to be mortgages that. You don't interview unless you're trying to get that job. Don't. Well you don't always try to get the job why else would you -- better deal for one thing. And returned -- her -- is a unique situation. He is for Romania. How can be at full speed ahead he's trying to get that error. He could take a look at it know what some regrets got to take a look at then you try and and you'll see what goes from there. You could always just go take a look you would have told -- like hey you know what god. Let's forget it was a close to the West Virginia Philadelphia against right Tuesday. Don't put up 76 -- -- general managers opening and my family you know my parents still live in West Virginia mr. guys ever to go interview with the to be the GM of the 76ers. Chris Clark are taken a -- are taken a look at it as such position before. Our democracy the comeback and there's. And even that -- and it did affect things wild. -- that means they didn't want you where -- war. What you -- I would say that's what that means. Otherwise I'd like nobody's going to be cool would you go in and interviewing with. -- negative -- aviator doesn't get that job right I mean this is a sign that Robert -- doesn't want him as the head coach of the team it is. Is no. Intimate I think it's at it's best for him that he he he wants to to to take a look at this and that you don't -- again. And if we did got a long conversation with the monarchy and so he could take a look there's nothing more towards at this -- -- it can't -- -- -- scripts. Do you. I mean how do you even with a straight face say this isn't uncommon in the NBA are all this is this is in the. You can't say that -- -- change it to pop that's so uncommon in the NBA. There's -- -- I mean this at this happens frequently in the NB. None of this happens. In the NBA. Although it does too and happen in the India. We have in -- Rome. General manager who -- my radio -- a week ago. Well here we -- radio guess it's the summer 2007. Us weekly. You -- or I may ask. You isn't it differs from freaks you coupons here and air. -- I'm not. I've been staying on top of basketball -- since I got into this business 42 years of great Smart. I haven't -- -- the -- these -- home the NBA and college internationals seem to have been -- to cancel. I'd be your part of -- and you're still our payroll with the organization I'm learning and doing anything and in fact told Geoff -- Yeah and in the office in a year. Go ahead and still. -- -- since last summer. Think it's weird to the guy that is still an organization that's been the office did a year and had been a part of any of the decision making is now back in charge of the. It's the Chris what I'm not a complete stranger regarding this -- no I would stop part of the group. Brought into court this team. I was involved in the draft process -- from last year. So as this now except parachuted in from Mongolia or something and have no relationship took risk. When we get into it but failure never even move which stadium. What to gain less volume gains rate to Brno. You're like I got your honestly I aligned shopper I know you don't ever get a very close. You know there could eventually are -- -- watched her closely unite against me I know you're around listened to come and they -- the apocalypse is gonna come. And it's going to be you just walking around all the rest of us are dead. And here is going to be will look at the ground again assign and by some help I don't know -- -- -- he survives like you. Adding that -- be leaving the remaining -- that taken from the yup. Refrigerator Robert does like a lot. Unbelievable. Odds are disabled -- you gave earlier -- Jason's deli yesterday. And a Jimmy sixty goes over and rolls above me inroads -- does super agent. As eight SEC coaches it just had five NFL for a big spread in the first round of the draft. -- said what went on he's that I saw Chris Wallace and James David by and three new cigarettes. It's -- so eclectic. And Hewitt by news that -- -- so that you can go. I -- of course regular news is because of well my trainer left can't. Have my conditioning -- -- controls all hell in the hand basket so I gotta get some new clothes career so called. I only Wear my old stuff what Billy Hagan -- salt goes man I gotta get up so. -- they -- dangerous thing that you had to go by news group. Energize it does so made that this is totally different common right but it's like usually the guy the brought in to run everything has new. I can't simply have a whole wardrobe suits and -- through the streets. Don't fit as well they are a little unclear but James Davis with a bit of fish first electric conditioning didn't. The -- actually in the states. Odds are you liberated them under your brother earlier on right now. All right. I don't -- stuff all right another million man beside. So I have been did -- takes the Minnesota job. Instead find a new head coach. Then the -- of the deal here. Every every every administrator. From college sports and the NBA you've you've heard this before. You know everybody always you know -- the list of coaches aren't any case something happens advertisement -- Prius if you poured on them prepare for this particular ambitious. Stay calm -- -- right now it's. He is in the beginning stages of the process and we'll go from there. How bad this good -- Tennessee's ended Jimmy says if you love your NBA coach set him free if he comes back he's years. Chris -- I'll kill you if you. Over there isn't everything every what you're really -- -- were prepared for change eventuality. Is it inning for example I told Gallup when mr. I would call me they have my MVP I don't shopping for school supplies -- I've been distorting my salary catchy twisting. In my car. You're you're in this business things happen quickly. And you -- was prepared. All right so he's. Do you think it it's just it just happens and he's gonna go interview with the Minnesota Timberwolves and whatever happens at both. That's where it is just as of today on Wednesday. You go to see where there's a. Did you know you will admit you do not interview for a job unless you want a job. Unless your interest did in Asia so. The -- and he's from their career -- -- and he tells another yeah I actually I can't speak for the people who have worked their basic interest in this position and Sanders of this is a very unique situation. That would not be in place with the other 29 teams in India. And 28 with a dish. You would not yeah I don't -- -- you don't got a map where you would say de Diego would not a big give them permission to interview with anyone except Minnesota. Well. This again it's unique situations. Beat because. Yeah. I mean it's it's it's the only. It's been a long time and again -- energy rest -- there's little. Title -- reality where we are right now. Israel large -- and I've gotten to do this I still got down not as though god it. I need a loan -- you'll. You know you you have that nine gave us that -- current court to edit in Utah and I've still got it did a pretty good knuckleball to -- these -- to be good there in the -- years now let's go to this. I'm an -- -- The hotly years. You're always on the road and that I'm -- Now -- -- -- oh right what do I need to know about you and Robert Sarah and how this went down and what's happened and now. What's happening now again this is no different than what's going won't get the 29 front offices and NBA right now listen -- some of the year what we're focused on the draft. All the various means to draft preparation one walk -- -- work out outside of Memphis and in some that will be held. There are facility in the weeks to come you're researching the players look at -- John colleges and analytical work at a port purchase you don't withdraw an actress of all these different sources information you have to evaluate interviews psychological test. At the same time we -- -- -- track prepare for a call the second draft. Which is free agency the NBA create a -- which begins stroke of midnight on July 1. And we also have to. -- all -- players. These contract status -- be up and we ethnic decision on them as well then you have summer league's. It's the same thing again -- talking to this time of the year assumption obviously I'm very well acquainted. My dad you've got your ratings is against forty near certainty it's he's got his upbringing just like everybody else except. All I did the -- -- Forget it everybody else is doing we're all him. When the same things it's just how many year you know asks you're mr. draft. -- wait so why is it bad -- in regards to the draft. But it turns and you don't know how long you were going to be in your job is that fair to say. But I do have an interim tag yes so I'm not interpret some are concerned about that I'm concerned about. Doing everything possible to improve our team we have an unsettled field goal. That I stated in June 2007. To one they have the championship parade down built strip we have an -- -- and I also want the children so we didn't tell me my entire focus of effort it's just and you really concerned about my situation. As you know over the years I've been -- and then make any -- sort. Sorry to hear it are you had never is unfortunate I mean I will say this -- all governors are you I'd never worry about -- situation is somehow it works out. I don't know what's going on with the youth I don't know got to deal with the -- -- made. But it works out. Give some insight. That's what my friend mark my dad's -- -- and I'll be maybe it's unfocused -- Pennsylvania so much a -- one time. Allows it and tricky situation coaching involved don't worry about it the only planes on the streets. -- It isn't saying I can't I if you can't and this honest weather related. All go through a side. Give us some insight into Robert -- and that type of directive you were given now that you're in the job because we know nothing about him really in this situation. Well Robert fair this this this this talk by the implement it. He has tremendous passion for the game of basketball the NBA is in the in the grizzlies and that's the foremost. Characteristic robredo perhaps at this passion first it. You gotta be as passionate as you most -- brain cancer and he -- years. He wants to win a championship as badly as any of us. But just with this team but the strain and sit in such a phenomenal job -- the -- -- game after game. And forward thinking as the Minnesota got this thirty to -- -- -- a worldwide very successful company. So much like mr. -- it was bringing his dozens of products has been in in providing some insights and philosophy it's Roberts on reducing as well would be very advantageous to a certain he has the resources. At his fingertips. That are pretty uncommon matched -- -- what he can do the technological world and been very impressed what you and I really am eager to be working. With Jim and his team. And -- DirecTV is basically just go out and you what you do with just come here to get ready for this draft is here ready to free agency that so that I -- -- or whether our own players in the improve history restore when the championship. Why is Jason -- and gone. You know I can't speak to that's you know I wish Jason a -- -- -- future endeavors but so. I can't speak to that issue -- how does. His work in the draft process when yeah I mean I guess is no need to consult your coach she's in Minnesota. Well coaches throughout the NBA. It's different than any NFL they have hearing debriefs. Input in the draft or some schemes where the coach. Is very involved. And basically going Norman or to the process. We at the management team there's other places. Where. The coach really had very limited him out. So draft I I -- I've seen both Specter I've worked with seventeen. -- I've seen guys that are almost directly lead to process such seen others that. Welcome to work out watch a film make a comment or two and -- step like. I understand you guys varied across the that the landscape through 32. I understand you guys are doing everything. The same as it goes in the draft and that your directive and you're just now worried about the draft but you must admit there are not 29 other teams. That it just fired their CEO are about to lose their coach. It just doesn't like. I don't see anybody else going through that and -- -- -- I'll I'll quote the great power rally. So I had the privilege of working -- two years in the the nineties he says he changed rare it's inevitable had a few -- sit around whether it's. So you do not -- change. There's no trade also our building there's no fire but that's just part of our response they're pretty not a blazer is no place. We're very confident. In focused on the task at hand which is improve this team to take -- that's final mile we're pretty close. How did it all we've got a great one the last few more years we have some unfinished business that's. Did -- here's a dangerous here's a dangerous stuff okay. How on earth could it instill confidence in the players on the roster of de -- takes another job. That is they risk men don't. OK to call him yourself for this this process has just begun. How -- look down. I don't really face if he comes back and he doesn't get the job in -- home in Iowa where we or should come via a computer does it if it didn't come back and doesn't get the job in Minnesota -- anybody looked him in the face and they were thrilled today diggers are head coach we can't wait for him to be our head coach going forward. But that's crazy. And it that there's been countless coaches. And all ranks. Of sports debate some level. Who have taken a look at another opportunity come -- in in in flourish where they are sure it's not uncommon that is common. I would -- it it does not compromise the coach's ability when he returns or does not. I don't -- About. And about. You know and and right now you got real can you got to reach yet try to restart Zach and the more -- extensions coming up in December. Shouldn't the most important thing making sure that these players feel comfortable about the direction here nearly everything. You don't you don't think that we are spending tremendous amount of time. Not just since I've got it would have in the past of I'm reaching out our players and cultivating a relationship with Sam and checking in on their music is catchers -- operate out of action no results. He is Chris Wallace you're out in Los Angeles for draft workouts. -- -- -- -- And three days a draft for -- just like c'mon do -- throughout. Know you've done pretty well at the last like the back after the draft honestly got some good player a guy -- she got. DeMarre I'm in any trader mall but they did it for it Doral. Like another twenty to thirty range of them pretty oil. Yeah authority it would get my colleagues for -- Sam young. And Simeon let me -- later in the -- them pretty -- hero we don't know yeah. -- a lot you'll have a chicken out with -- -- dealt him pretty well this year -- number shall see what happens live in the future and while. I don't know that I that I I got to commend you know you're you're -- him during one -- did quite well pretty social playoff trying to help you but -- -- little feather in your value -- Right now do you didn't who you listen you never listened to before I didn't start. Up. -- Elisa do you accept your invitation I -- -- as up -- seven. To do this show which -- I gotta say this sort of boat so I will -- -- 22 about time address comes around I'll tell exactly the tank right now I like to tip from Wichita. I like -- the density -- oh yeah like. Well as of today -- -- -- updated and in the next five -- we -- -- would not hurt the Rome you have the mock -- for today you have my -- for Samoa -- into. I'm an update about different selections you could only get to draft -- and it -- don't get in your limo which last week was a Toyota.

Despite lukewarm critical reception of the actual games, the music from Atari's Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure and Driver: Parallel Lines are getting recognition at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, airing around the world on August 31st.
Getting Up's soundtrack sports tunes produced by Sean 'Diddy' Combs, System of a Down, Pack FM, Pharoahe Monch, and features the Getting Up Anthem: Part 1, performed by Talib Kweli, the voice of the game's lead character, Trane, and Hip-Hop artist Rakim. In-game music came courtesy of RJD2 and Wu-Tang legend the RZA.
The 70+ licensed tracks in Driver: Parallel Lines come from popular artists of the 1970s (David Bowie, Blondie, Iggy Pop, WAR, The Temptations, Funkadelic, Marvin Gaye, Parliament, and Average White Band) and today (Public Enemy, Grandmaster Flash, Suicide, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arthur Baker, Mylo, Paul Oakenfold, and the Audio Bullys, The Roots, LCD Soundsystem, TV on the Radio, Kaiser Chiefs, Secret Machines, and The Dead 60's).
For sheer diversity, quantity, and timeliness of these tracks, these titles may go home with a permanent accolade of the work that went into securing this content for the game. Too bad the games themselves weren't received quite as well as their music.Powered by Sidelines

Tianjin is just an overall place when the weather is good. They converted this stadium into a beautiful brick circular event - it's like such grandeur for such a simple running track. Then there are such broad boulevards and beautiful buildings. Very nice
We did not find it really worth the visit. It was too cold to walk around. The restaurants there are unique though
This is just one more example of a Chinese city creating a faux tourist attraction then hyping it up to rake in dollars. There's really nothing to see here other than 19th century European facades plastered on a series of expensive restaurants. These sorts of places always make me depressed, because the real China that ceased to exist a decade...
Nice place to have a walk in Tianjin. Good background for your photoes) expensive shopping center to find european food there))
Wudadao is a fabulous area, and the stadium is most impressive. The architecture around the five avenues transport you in another era, another country. Great spot for photography, delicious food and unique finds.
It's supposed to be made up of 5 avenues which used to be the homestead of some quite important people. Nowadays it has become a Mecca of trendy restaurants & cafes. Compared to the rest of the city, it's less dusty, more tree friendly and somewhat quieter.
I did not like it very much, its only the buildings made as per the European styles, Nothing else of a tourist interest.
The 5 avenues are probably more interesting to a Chinese audience who recognise the 'celebrity' house owners. we didn't but still enjoyed a nice walk, a very pretty park and the stadium re-design. The idea of turning it into a mall is pretty depressing but the art works showing around the running track compensated
Amid of a Chinese big city you will find many buildings in old European style along the five avenues, harmonic arranged, many of them well restored and beautiful.
Newly developed area that is currently hip and chic, but it's not that special.
Lots of other areas with much more to do.
not impressed.
hii!! i will going to tianjin.. but i have a question..how to get to five great avenues from train stations because i come from beijing.. so what a public transport to go to that place, i mean subway because i'm not sure use a bus because i can't read and speak chinese.. thank you for your answer.. Gbu..

Chapter Nine
All I could hear was 20 people breathing. I wanted to know what a mudslide would feel like without actually experiencing it. Ali huddled into my chest, waiting for impact. It felt weird being her protector. I was only a bit taller, and not much stronger or even older than her but I felt I belonged in that role. Even if nothing would really protect her, I could at least be her comfort. The worse thing was that the bus became slowly darker as the mud approached.
"It's nothing but a metal coffin." I heard Louis mumble behind me. I let out a trembling breath. "Ali," I started "I think we should…" My voice left as we were hit with the mudslide. It pushed the bus forward and up at the same time. I felt Ali tighten her grip around me and I thought about closing my eyes, but I couldn't.
The mud seemed to be covering the whole bus, and I thought we might be buried underneath before a surge pushed us off again. My stomach dropped as I realized something. "The bus is tipping." I said under my breath and I pulled Ali away from me. "Hold onto the chair!" I said to her and she readily agreed. I noticed Louis had already thought of that and that time I really did close my eyes.
I kept my eyes clenched shut as the bus completely flipped forward. I managed to hang on for a while, but when the bus was upside down it stopped moving and I let go. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes to see that everyone else was still in the bus. I sat up and looked around at the groaning teens around me, searching for Ali. It turned out she was behind me, and she grabbed my hand.
Sighing with relief, I squeezed her hand and turned around. "I'd lie back down if I were you." One boy said as he stared out the window. I didn't bother looking outside, instead I just did as he said and kept my hand firmly in Ali's. I looked over at her and she looked at me. She looked really scared, something I hadn't seen from her yet. "We'll be alright." I said to her. "Can you promise that?" She asked. I shook my head, "No, I can't."
Ali nodded and looked back up at the ceiling. I shut my eyes and prepared for impact. I won't let go of your hand, Alice Mclean. I thought as the bus started to rock again. It tumbled four or five times, down a hill I suppose. It felt like being in a tumble dryer. After the third roll my hand was ripped away from Ali's. Suddenly, I heard glass breaking, and a high pitched scream. The bus stopped rolling and I hit the ceiling before crumpling on the side of the bus that was now the floor.
My head was throbbing and I was pretty sure my leg wound had been re-opened, but I couldn't move. I lay there until Louis came up to me and shook my shoulders. "Are you alright, man?" He asked me. I nodded, "What's the damage?" I asked. If anyone knew it would be Louis. "Five are gone, plus the driver. They must've fallen through the broken window." Louis began. He had a weird look on his face, like he wasn't telling me something.
I sat up, "What else?" He shrugged, "Not much. Everyone else is just battered and bruised." I looked around nervously. "Where's Ali?" I asked quietly. Louis cleared his throat but didn't answer my question. I stood up and looked around frantically. "Where's Alice?" I asked louder. Louis grabbed my shoulder but I shrugged it off. "I- I don't know she- she's gone Sam."
"Those five people you mentioned…" I started, "Ali was one of them?" I shuddered. Louis nodded slowly, not wanting to look me in the eye. "I let go of her hand." I said under my breath. I sunk down against the ceiling and stared at nothing for a minute. It didn't take long for the lump in my throat to disappear and give way to tears. Crying like that physically hurt. I felt in pain as I cried and I didn't care who was watching.
I could hear Louis trying to comfort me but I couldn't care less. After I finished with the ugly sobbing I put my face on my knees and tried to breathe. The people around me were chatting about the hole in the window above, and their plans to climb up to the top. I could actually feel my heart ache. I was missing Ali so much already.
Louis sat down next to me and patted my shoulder, "I'm sorry man, and I know she was your- Alice." He said and I actually smiled, remembering the day I first introduced Louis and Ali. I pushed my hair back off my face and sighed. "You never know, she could have survived." Louis suggested.
"Well, if anyone can live through that it's Ali Mclean." I agreed.

The London Mayor says sorry for once claiming that Liverpool fans were "mindless" during the disaster in 1989 after Wednesday's release of previously unseen documents.
London mayor Boris Johnson has apologized for comments he made in an interview in which he blamed Liverpool fans for the Hillsborough stadium disaster.
In the article the mayor of London had claimed that "drunken" Reds fans had "mindlessly tried to fight their way into the ground".
Johnson made the comments in an article in The Spectator in 2004 and expressed his regret about them. The apology comes a day after a report was released in which Liverpool fans were found blameless in the tragedy.
"I'm very, very glad that this report does lay to rest the false allegation that was made at the time about the behavior of those fans," Johnson told reporters. "I was very, very sorry in 2004 that the Spectator did carry an editorial that partially repeated those allegations, I apologized then and I apologize now.
"I do hope the families of the 96 victims will take some comfort from this report and that they can reach some sort of closure."
Since the release of the report, Prime Minister David Cameron declared he was "profoundly sorry for this double injustice that has been left uncorrected for so long" and apologies also came from the leader of the opposition, Ed Miliband.

Transportation to/from the airboat tour and plantation tour via Tours by Isabelle was stellar. Airboat driver Gary was excellent very knowledgeable and skilled. Loved every minute it was great fun!
Loved this tour. No problems with pick up at our hotel. Being a small group the tour worked very well. Our guide Kat was friendly and knowledgeable. Plantation tour was very good and informative the tour guide there was fantastic. Airboat tour was sensational ...if you get the same boat driver as we had be prepared to get close and personal with his favorite alligators!!! We would definitely recommend this tour.
This was a highlight of our stay in New Orleans. Captain Gary made it fun and the cruise into the swamps will be one of my best memories of New Orleans. Even had an alligator swim to the boat.
More time was needed at the plantation. It was interesting and we would have enjoyed more of the history.
I only did the airboat ride of this tour and it was absolutely awesome!!!!!! My airboat guide was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a great time.
The small airboat was the way to go and we had an excellent captain. Gary had spent his life on and around the swamp and this was evident in his abundant knowledge. We had lots of laughs and enjoyed the peacefulness when the motor stopped running. Thank you Gary for your environmentalist views as well and the perfect tour
A great experience in a group of only 7 of us.
The air boat ride was a highlight of our trip meeting our guide and driver/ pilot Garry who was fun and knowledgable, entertaining us with his local knowledge and very funny tales.
I would highly recommend the airboat tour, the plantation house is a must, it is an important part of this areas history.
The swamp tour guide was very entertaining and informative. The plantation tour was also very nice. Madeleine was great as our tour host.
Special Kudos to Madeleine and the local tour operator for taking such good care of us!
This tour is a long one with no meals available to buy, so bring snacks and water. Or do like some folks on our tour did and bring a cooler. The plantation and swamp adventure do not have anything more than sodas and candy, so if you don't want to go into diabetic shock, bring something to munch on in between tours.
The Destrehan Plantation was very interesting and if you're lucky enough to Candance as your Interpreter of History, you are in for a treat! I felt like we needed another 20 minutes at this location to go check out the grounds a little more and see the 1811 Slave Revolt exhibit after the official tour. But we were strapped for time and had to jump back in the van to head to our Swamp tour.
Swamp Adventures is super fun. Don't be surprised and squeal with fright, like I did when Levi the Gator sidles up to the boat as you are boarding it at the dock. Note...while I get the impression some of the gators who are named are like pets... they are not ... they are still wild animals. Rodney was our driver and he's super skilled at maneuvering this boat over and around tight spots. It was so amazing where he took us. And I love the feel of zooming around the swamp. Rodney also has a wicked sense of humor and totally got me when he put an alligator chick really close to my ear as I was looking at something else. I'm embarrassed to say that I screamed again, which caused the rest of the boat to scream as well since they didn't know what happened and we were all in a heightened sense of where is the gator or snake we thought we saw? We were of course, totally safe. Rodney was just messing with me. I loved it of course. And my mom totally jumped at the chance to hold the alligator chick she's braver than me.
You want to do this tour if you like history, nature and a little bit of adventure. Oh... and if you like boats and zooming around.
Captain Gary was courteous and was able to show us a lot about the swamp. Joni and I had a great time and will do this again the next time we get down there. We were able to see gaters and a lot of birds. We also got to see several Nutrea.
Guides were wonderful. Had us on the edge of our swamp boat seat!
This was a real blast, great guide, really knew his stuff and made the whole experience a lot of fun
The Airboat swamp adventure turned out to be everything we could have wanted. Captain Jack was terrific and I would highly recommend this to everyone.
The airboat tour was amazing! Captain Gary was experienced and Knowle able. Even got to hold a little female gator! Plantation tour was a bit of an anticlimax but gave a feel for plantation life in beautiful surroundings.
Oh Captain Monkey....great experience despite it being the wrong season for lots and lots of gators. Captain Monkey found us lots of gators and other beautiful things to look at, seriously great fun and sooooo educational. The passion and respect for the environment was just amazing.....don't miss this one.
Our tour guide, Dylan, was awesome! He was very prompt and friendly. We learned so much about the city, in an entertaining way. The plantation was great and was hosting a fall festival, so we got way more than we planned for! The air boat/swamp tour was amazing and beautiful. I would recommend this tour to anyone!
Great guilds for both. Enjoyed the small group rather then a large group
Great tour, the guide on the air-boat was areal character and was a laugh a minute. The plantation tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a real insight to life on the plantation.
Ellen the lady from Isabelle tours who picked us up from the hotel was also very knowledgeable and give us many ideas of things to do in New Orleans.
Great day out ,well worth the money.
The airboat swamp tour was awesome and the highlight of our trip. Captain Gary was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Ellen our driver was also very well informed about New Orleans and the surrounding area. We really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend this tour.
Our driver/guide was very informative. Ellen drove well and kept up the banter. The airboat rides were exciting and beautiful. Capt. Gary gave us a most memorable ride thru the swamp. Saw lots of gators! Great day trip. The Plantation tour was historically informative. Our guide there, Ellen (plantation guide), was very knowledgeable and emotionally invested in her tour. She impressed me with her dignity. This was a highlight day!
Had a awesome time! I think everyone needs to check out this tour if there in New Orleans :)
We had an absolute blast! We thought we wouldn't see any wild alligators because of it being cold but we did!! Our tour guide was very knowledgable! I would highly recommend going on this tour!!
The experience was wonderful and the service was amazing!
The Plantation Tour was not what we expected. Quite disappointing with the Plantation Guide. Would have been happy if we just went on the Airboat Ride - now that was an amazing experience! Gator spotting and the opportunity to feed one!
Could not have been better! Even though we got rained on while on the swamp we enjoyed the ride. When we arrived at the swamp tour we went over to the dock to wait on our tour guide and a alligator came swimming down to meet us. The plantation tour was very interesting.
We had an absolutely terrriffic time!! Our guides at both the plantation and the airboat ride were amazing!! Very well informed. Knew alot about the history, plant life and animal life. My guest plans to return woith her husband. Thanks so much.

The yen plunged yesterday as traders bet on a huge expansion in money printing from Japan's central bank in the wake of a landslide election victory for the Liberal Democratic Party.
The triumph of former prime minister Shinzo Abe, who is committed to aggressive monetary easing, sent the dollar as high as ¥84.48, the strongest since April 2011. Mr Abe is also committed to big public spending.

Dalbeth Cemetery
Also known as: St Peters RC Cemetery
1920 London Road
Glasgow City Scotland
Dalbeth Cemetery:
First Name
Last Name
Cemetery notes and/or description:
This cemetery is owned and maintained by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Glasgow whose office is at the Diocesan Office, Clyde Street, Glasgow. There are actually two separate cemeteries beside each other; the original Old Dalbeth Cemetery which is the smaller, and St Peter's Cemetery, which is huge, well maintained and is still in use. But even locals are often confused when referring to Dalbeth Cemetery when they actually mean St Peter's. It is possible to walk through the old cemetery and recent efforts have been made to rectify years of neglect. St Peter's Catholic Cemetery was opened in 1863 and there are distinctive Polish and Italian parts of the cemetery, and many locally famous Catholics are buried there. Pictured at the right is one of the Common Burial Grounds that has been there for many years and is still beautifully maintained. St Peter's has been gradually enlarged through the years. Originally it was sited only to the east of the burn, but now covers both sides up to the boundary with the bottling plant. The cemetery is open to all demonimations. (text by Geoffrey Gillon)
