The present invention relates generally to wireless data transmission from a remote device and more specifically to predicting and selecting a best available wireless channel for wireless transmission of the data.
Remote processing devices can include one or more means for communicating with either a back end system or other external system. With the advancement of wireless technologies, there is an increase in the number of available wireless transmission channels. Each of these channels include inherent costs and benefits based various factors such as the transmission cost, the available bandwidth and network availability. Typically, the channels having higher bandwidth and greater network availability also have a higher transmission cost. Therefore, when multiple channels are available, it can be beneficial to select the best channel to achieve the data transmission and limit associated costs.
It is known in various remote processing devices to select between available networks. In existing multi-modal communication techniques, the remote device selects between available networks as they become available. For example, a remote device, such as a mobile phone, may use a cellular network to begin a wireless communication. Then, when the mobile phone recognizes the presence of an available wireless local area network (commonly referred to as a hotspot), the mobile phone simply converts to the wireless network and disconnects the cellular transmission. This may afford the user a cost savings based on the less expensive wireless network over the costly cellular transmission costs. Although, with existing multi-modal communication techniques, network transmission switching is only performed when the mobile device is actively transmitting and there is an active need to examine and compare available networks.
In another technique, as described in commonly assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/325,824, entitled "Priority Assignment and Transmission of Sensor Data," data messages are assigned to be transmitted by selected channels based on pre-examination of the data message in relation to the cost of existing channels. This technique includes queuing the messages into buffers assigned to each transmission channel, then when the channel becomes available, the messages in the queue are directly transmitted. In this approach, the messages remained queued until the mobile device enters the transmission range of the associated channel or until the mobile device re-evaluates the queued message for the selection of alternative transmission channels.
In another technique, as described in commonly assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/351,466, entitled "Transmission of Sensor Data Based on Geographical Navigational Data," in addition to queuing of data messages, travel directions of the mobile device are also examined. In this technique, the travel directions of the mobile device may be associated with a mapping or navigational system, such as found in a motor vehicle, for example, and compared to the network service areas defined by the service providers. Based on the navigational data, the data messages may be queued or transferred between queues for transmission such as using either wireless or physically hard-wired connections in relation to the assigned priority of the data message.
In these existing approaches, techniques for improving the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of wireless transmissions is based on either an examination of the message to be sent or an examination of the currently available networks during active transmission. The multi-modal communication device's examination of different channels is limited to active transmission times, such as notifying the user of available networks, such as an on-screen display or indicator, or actively switching channels during active communication sessions. The queueing approaches examine the priority of the message and the navigational data that anticipates the directed directions of the mobile device.
Generally, a remote device having the ability to transmit data across a plurality of wireless channels selects the transmission channel for transmitting the data message. The remote device prioritizes the data message based on an examination of the data message relative to predetermined priority settings. Based on this prioritization and in relation to a transmission prediction term, the remote device assigns the data message to a message queue associated with the selected transmission channel. When the remote device enters the transmission range of the selected channel, the data message may thereupon be wirelessly transmitted.
More specifically,
The processing device 102 may be one or more suitable processing devices operative to perform processing operations in response to executable instructions. The transmission prediction term database 104 may be any suitable type of storage device having prediction terms stored therein. As discussed in further detail below, the prediction terms identify the predicted likelihood of network availability for the different available wireless channels of the remote device 100. The message queues 106 are each associated with the corresponding transmitting devices 108, as illustrated in
In the embodiment of
The data message 110 includes information usable by one or processing systems external to the remote device 100. In the example of a motor vehicle, a central data processing network may utilize the oil fluid level measurement to note the current operation of the vehicle and to attempt to schedule a maintenance visit for the vehicle. Therefore, it may be desirable for the remote device 100 to transmit the data message 110 to a specific vehicle maintenance system, such as with fleet vehicles or luxury vehicles under warranty.
In the remote device, the transmission prediction term database 104 includes a plurality of prediction terms 112. As discussed in further detail below, the prediction terms 112 are generated based on the active monitoring of the availability of the wireless channels and the application of pattern recognition techniques to the channel availability data. The prediction terms 112 include predicted network availability for the available wireless channels.
The processing device 102 receives the data message 110 and the prediction term 102. In one embodiment, the processing device 102 automatically assigns a time stamp to the data message. The time stamp may indicate when the data message was received or could indicate when the data message was created, in the event there may be a delay between the message is created and provided to the processing device 102.
The processing device 102 thereupon assigns a data message priority to the data message 110. This data message priority, which may be a number, codeword or other type of indicator, is based on factors relating to the data message. For example, the priority may be based on the component that generates the data message or may be based on the content of the data message itself or both. Using the above example of oil level, the priority may be determined based on the data message being generated by the oil level sensor and the measurement itself. The processing device 102 may use any suitable technique for determining the priority of the data message, such as a look-up table of predetermined priority levels, as discussed in further detail below.
When the data message priority is determined, the processing device associates a time factor with the data message. This time factor indicates a time to live (TTL) factor, which is the predetermined time in which the data message needs to reach the back end processing system. For example, a very high priority data message may have a very small TTL factor, indicating that this data message needs to be transmitted very quickly and may thereby justify being transmitted across a more expensive wireless channel. In contrast, low priority data messages may have a very long TTL factor and may not warrant being transmitting on expensive channels, but are more aptly suited for transmission on cheaper channels, when they become available.
The processing device 102 then determines which wireless channel would be the best option for data transmission based on the priority level and the prediction terms. This may be performed by a simple analysis of the priority level of the data message and the predicted available channels, as well as including the associated costs of the channels themselves. For example, a channel having a very wide transmission range may include a more expensive transmission cost than a channel having a smaller range. But if under the prediction terms, the remote device is predicted to be within only one transmission range before the TTL factor expires, the processing device 102 may then assign the data message to the message queue 106 associated with the predicted available channel. If more than one channel is predicted to be available, the processing device may select the cheaper channel, thereby allowing the remote device 100 to transmit the data message within the TTL factor and also save transmission costs.
Once the processing device 102 selects a particular wireless transmission channel, the data message 110 is converted into a data packet 114, where in one embodiment the data packet, 114 includes the data message, time stamp and expiry date based on the TTL factor. The processing device 102 provides the data packet to the selected message queue 106. The data packet 114 may also include additional information that may be usable by the back end processing device, such as header information identifying the remote device 100, for example.
Referring back to
In this embodiment, the sensor/user input device 152 may be any suitable device or devices within the remote device 150 that are operative to generate feedback data. The data generation/preprocessing device 154, TTL assigning device 156 and initial channel assigning device 158 may be one or more processing devices operative to perform the below-noted functions through hardware, software or a combination thereof. The availability monitor 164 may be implemented in hardware and/or software and is operative to monitor and note when the various channels become available. This monitoring may be done through feedback from the transmitters 108 indicating when the remote device 150 is within and subsequently leaves the transmission range of the corresponding channel, possibly including noting a channel availability starting point and time duration of availability. The channel availability log 166 may be one or more memory devices storing this channel availability data generated by the availability monitor 164. The pattern recognition device 168 may also be implement in hardware, software or a combination thereof for performing one or more different types of pattern recognition activities on the channel availability data stored in the log 166.
In the embodiment of
In this embodiment, the TTL assigning device 156 receives the data packet 172 and thereupon assigns the corresponding TTL factor. As discussed above with respect to
The initial medium assignment device 158 receives the data packet 114 and thereupon assigns the packet 114 to one of the queues 106 for subsequent transmission over the selected wireless channel associated therewith. The medium assignment device 158 also receives transmission prediction terms 112 from the pattern recognition device 168.
As noted above, the availability monitor 164 monitors and notes when the different wireless channels become available. The availability monitor 164 generates channel availability data 180 and provides this data to the channel availability log 166. The channel availability data 180 indicates various factors associated with the wireless channels, such as indicating the times when the channels become available and when their availability is lost. The data 180 may also include, in more advanced systems, positioning information indicating the current positions of the remote device when the channels were available, where this embodiment would incorporate an additional global positioning system to record the position information and combine such information with the data generated by the availability monitor 164.
The pattern recognition device 168 receives channel data 174 from the log 166 and performs pattern recognition operations to recognize various patterns in the data. For example, the pattern recognition device 168 may utilize one of many available pattern recognition operations, such as a Fast Fourier Transform, to recognize channel availability data. This recognized data predicts when the different channels will become available and thereby predicts when transmission across the different channels will be possible.
In one embodiment, the transmission prediction terms 112 may be time indicators indicating the different time intervals when different channels are available. The channel assigning device 158 may perform a simple comparison operation to determine which channel or channels will be available before the expiry date. In another analysis, the assigning device 158 may then further reduce this list of available channels based on transmission costs. For example, with a TTL factor of 2 days, it may be predicted that the remote device will be in communication range of a terrestrial communication channel, a cellular channel, a wireless local area network channel. If the wireless LAN channel has the cheapest transmission cost, the data packet 114 may be assigned to the message queue 106 associated with the wireless LAN network channel because while it is predicted that all three channels will be available, the data message can be transmitted at a reduced cost within the noted time period and thereby at a reduced transmission cost.
In another embodiment, the remote device 150 further includes a dynamic re-assignment device 182. This device 182 is coupled to the availability monitor 164 to receive channel activity signals 184 indicating when various channels become active. The device 182 has the ability to access and transfer data between different message queues 106 in the queue management module 160.
As noted above, the data packets 114 written to the various message queues 106 are each assigned a TTL factor and include an expiry date. This information is important because typically the remote device should transmit the data message before the expiration of this time. While the initial channel is selected based on an estimated prediction, this channel may not necessarily become available before the expiration time. Therefore, the dynamic re-assignment device 182 is operative to insure that the data message is subsequently transmitted using alternative means, if available.
In one embodiment, as the expiration time approaches, the dynamic re-assignment device 182 coordinates with the availability monitor 160 to determine which, if any other channels are available. Various embodiments may be implemented to coordinate time before expiration with acceptable channels. For example, the dynamic re-assignment device 182 may always transmit all data messages from queues for more expensive channels if a cheaper channel is available. In another example, a determination can be made that if a data message is within a pre-determined time period of expiration, for example half an hour, the dynamic re-assignment device 182 may re-assign the data message to a more expensive channel that is predicted to be available or is already available. In another embodiment, the dynamic re-assignment device 182 may re-assign the data message based on an updated analysis of prediction information, if available. As recognized by one skilled in the art, there are numerous other available techniques available to the dynamic re-assigning device 180, whereupon the data message in the message queue 106 is actively monitored to insure transmission across at least one of the available channels before the expiration time based on the TTL factor.
In this embodiment, the remote device 150 is in wireless communication with a back end processing system 200. This system 200 may be one or more computing devices operating in either stand-alone or networked functionality to perform any of a variety of processing operations associated with the remote device. For example, if the remote device 150 is a PDA, the back end processing system 200 may be a central processing network operated by the PDA manufacturer or service provider, where the back end processing system 200 may provide computing resources associated with the PDA.
In this embodiment, the back end processing system 200 also includes a receiver 202 for receiving the channel availability data 180 as collected from the channel availability monitor (not shown) in the remote device 150. In one embodiment, the remote device 150 may provide the newly acquired data stored in a channel availability log (not expressly illustrated). With this channel availability data, the back end processing system may be able to perform pattern recognition operations. The back-end processing system may be able to perform higher level or more complex pattern recognition routines based on larger resource availability than the remote device 150, such as data mining techniques as recognized by one having ordinary skill in the art. For example, the back end processing system 200 does not have the power constraints of the remote device 150, therefore the processors on the back end system do not need to worry about power usage. Additionally, the back end processing system 200 may be able to utilize multiple processors for parallel data computation or may have large storage capacity and can maintain a large database of channel availability data to perform pattern recognition on a larger data field.
In this embodiment, once the back end processing system 200 computes the prediction terms, these terms may be wirelessly transmitted back to the mobile device 150. Thereupon, the mobile device 150 may use these prediction terms in a manner consistent with the above described embodiments.
As noted above, the data messages have associated priority and this priority corresponds to a TTL factor.
Concurrently, in this method the remote device is also operative to perform the step of recording channel availability data, step 244. Based on this channel availability data, the next step, step 246, is recognizing patterns in the channel availability data. As noted above, these pattern recognition operations may be performed locally on the remote device or remotely on a back end processing system. The next step, step 248, is generating the transmission prediction terms based on the recognized patterns. If the recognition is done remotely, the prediction terms are provided to the remote device.
Thereupon, in the example of the remote device being a motor vehicle and the data message being a check engine warning, the next step, step 250, is assigning the data message to a message queue based on the data message priority and the transmission prediction terms, where the selected message queue is associated with a channel that has been selected as being predicted to be available before the data messages expiration date. Thus, when the wireless channel becomes available, the data message may be transmitted thereacross. Thereupon, this embodiment of the method is complete. It is also noted that other embodiments of the method may be performed, including the varying embodiments discussed above with respect to
The input device 264 receives incoming data 280 from the data message generation device 262. The incoming data 280 may include a data message, where the data message is associated with the apparatus 260. The data message generation device 262 may be a sensing device, user input device or other type of generating device as recognized by one having ordinary skill in the art. The input device 264 may parse out the data message 110 and provide this message 110 to the data message prioritization device 266. The prioritization device 266 is operative to prioritize the data message based on predefined priority terms, such as may be defined by a look-up table or other reference source within the apparatus 260. This prioritization also includes generating an expiry date based on a TTL factor associated with a time stamp of the data message and the TTL factor.
The device 266 generates the data packet 114, which in one embodiment, include the data message, the time stamp and the expiry date. The data message assignment device 268 receives the data packet 114.
In the apparatus 260, the channel availability recording device 270 actively monitors the communication hardware, including receiving channel availability data 282. From these signals, the channel availability recording device determines when different channels are available and generates channel availability data 284. The pattern recognition device 168 receives this data 284 and performs one or more operations to recognize patterns in the data. In one embodiment, the pattern recognition device 168 is locally disposed in the apparatus 260, such as illustrated in
The pattern recognition device 168 generates recognized patterns 286, which are provided to the transmission prediction term generating device 272. This device 272 thereupon generates prediction terms 112 based on the patterns 286. These prediction terms indicate predicted times when various wireless channels will become available. These prediction terms 112 are provided to the data message assignment device 268 so that the device 268 is operative to assign the data message 110 in the data packet 114 to one of the message queues 106 based on the data message priority and the transmission prediction terms. Therefore, when the channel becomes available, the data packet 114 can be provided from the queue 106 to a transmitter (not specifically illustrated) within the hardware 162 for wirelessly transmitting a transmission signal 288.
Therefore, through the active monitoring of various wireless channel availability, the remote device may select the best possible choice for wireless transmission. This transmission selection is based on the data message itself, an expiration factor associated with a priority level of the message and recognized channel availability for the remote device itself. Through this prediction approach, transmission techniques can be optimized to select the most cost-effective and also timely transmission means available to the remote device, while also maintain the required level of exigency for data messages.
Although the preceding text sets forth a detailed description of various embodiments, it should be understood that the legal scope of the invention is defined by the words of the claims set forth below. The detailed description is to be construed as exemplary only and does not describe every possible embodiment of the invention since describing every possible embodiment would be impractical, if not impossible.

It should be understood that there exist implementations of other variations and modifications of the invention and its various aspects, as may be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, and that the invention is not limited by specific embodiments described herein. It is therefore contemplated to cover any and all modifications, variations or equivalents that fall within the scope of the basic underlying principals disclosed and claimed herein.

However, it's Arma II that really sells TrackIR for me. I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of the game or the realistic military sim genre; once you go beyond, say, GRAW and GRAW2, I find the extreme difficulty levels and rather unforgiving gameplay a bit aggravating. Nor is Arma II the easiest game in the genre to get to grips with, hampered as it is by less than intuitive controls and some rather long-winded game mechanics. All the same, TrackIR makes the game absorbing and exciting enough for me to get over these issues for a while. The look mechanism has cleverly been isolated from control of direction and targetting, meaning the mouse remains in control of your heading and your sights, even when you have your head turned to face a completely different direction. As a result, you find yourself racing through the brush in some godforsaken Soviet land, sneaking peaks left and right to check on the whereabouts of squad mates, and using your head to maintain a greater awareness of your surroundings and any lurking dangers therein. And when helicopters speed overhead or the bullets start whizzing over your shoulder, frantically scanning around just adds to the game's taut atmosphere. If only NaturalPoint could bring TrackIR to Battlefield or Call of Duty, I suspect the results would be fantastic.
It's also worth pointing out that TrackIR works with multi-monitor setups, and while I had to make do with a single 22in screen, I suspect that having a large horizontal view to work with should only add to the sense of immersion.
All very good, then, and if you're heavily into your sims and you already have the flightstick, the steering wheel and the triplehead setup, then TrackIR probably is the next logical step. However, it's not a cheap step, and given the relatively small number of games supported - and many of them quite obscure - this leaves me with a quandry. At £140, does TrackIR represent good value for money? Just about, but it could do with being a little cheaper - even compared to most yokes, steering wheels and flight-sticks this is a pricey bit of kit, and the aforementioned products will typically work with a much larger number of games. And while it's easy to see where the money has gone with a G25 steering wheel or a flight yoke, throttle and pedals, nothing about the TrackIR makes it feel all that expensive.
But games support is really the crucial issue. The best thing to do is take a look at the{linkout:http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/03-enhanced-games/enhanced-games-all.html list of supported games. Run down the list and see how many of them you are still really serious about playing, and how many you've forgotten, never known about or left behind. If you're still putting serious hours into one, two or more, then buying the TrackIR kit makes sense. If not, then a better monitor, a new controller, a new graphics card or maybe just a few more games will probably get you more for your money. For serious sim-heads, then, TrackIR is an attractive if pricey proposition. For the less committed, it's an interesting technology, but one that needs a smaller price tag and a longer list of supporting games to convince.
TrackIR is an effective technology that adds a new layer of immersion for fans of serious sims. If it only had stronger games support and a lower price point, it could probably convince some more mainstream gamers too.
Cor! I wonder if Johnny Lee's Wiimote hacks can be made to work with this system? (http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Also, I really want to try this with GeForce 3D!
I'm very impressed with the responsiveness of the IR5 in FSX, but I have to say that for $170+ the cheap plastic tangs that they put the head set assembly together with are totally unacceptable. Its pretty sad when some electrical tape rapped around the broken parts the DAY AFTER the IR5 arrived is about 10000 x stronger than the delivered product. Seriously guys, spend the extra 4 cents and put some meat into this thing so you can lay it on your desk without breaking it! BTW, I'm an IT exec in my late 40's so when I say something is cheaply built and breaks easily, its not because I'm too rough on things.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett advises to be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. One way we can try to measure the level of fear in a given stock is through a technical analysis indicator called the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which measures momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In trading on Friday, shares of Advanced Emissions Solutions Inc ( ADES) entered into oversold territory, hitting an RSI reading of 25.9, after changing hands as low as $32.86 per share. By comparison, the current RSI reading of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is 49.9. A bullish investor could look at ADES's 25.9 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. The chart below shows the one year performance of ADES shares: START SLIDESHOW:

This is one of the last flags flown over the SC Capital Building. My uncle is SC Senator Glenn Reese and he got it for me. He signed the letter of certification. I had it framed in a red suede matte with a gold frame. It is right by the front door because we are very proud of it.
This is a print of the explosion at Petersburg , VA. The Yankees tunnelled under the beseiging Confederate Army. They set explosions off that buried a contingent of men from Union County, SC. My husband's direct ancestor was too young to fight but his 3 brothers were in this contingent. One had come home but the other two were there when the explosions occurred. One was buried up to his neck and he promised a Yankee the plug of tobacco in his pocket if he would dig him up. The other brother was buried alive and his brother identified him when he saw his feet sticking up wearing the socks that their Grandmother had knitted for them.
This print is called "Battle of the Crater" by Tom Lovell.
These are 2 inexpensive prints of General Robert E. Lee and General Stonewall Jackson that we got in Lexington, VA. I had them nicely framed with some Civil War bullets in the corners.
This is a John Paul Strain print. He is our favorite Civil War artist. This is General Robert E. Lee and is titled "On To Gettysburg". Our family visited Gettysburg and we really enjoyed it. It was a very memorable trip!
This is a Mort Kunstler print of General Robert E. Lee and General Stonewall Jackson. As you will see we really love REL and SJ!
All of our prints are framed in suede because I love the depth of color and texture. We did not stint on the framing.

ISBN13: 9780385523929 ISBN10: 0385523920 Condition: Standard DustJacket: Standard All Product Details
On April 23, 1967, Prisoner #416J, an inmate at the notorious Missouri State Penitentiary, escaped in a breadbox. Fashioning himself Eric Galt, this nondescript thief and con man — whose real name was James Earl Ray — drifted through the South, into Mexico, and then Los Angeles, where he was galvanized by George Wallace's racist presidential campaign.
On February 1, 1968, two Memphis garbage men were crushed to death in their hydraulic truck, provoking the exclusively African American workforce to go on strike. Hoping to resuscitate his faltering crusade, King joined the sanitation workers' cause, but their march down Beale Street, the historic avenue of the blues, turned violent. Humiliated, King fatefully vowed to return to Memphis in April.
With relentless storytelling drive, Sides follows Galt and King as they crisscross the country, one stalking the other, until the crushing moment at the Lorraine Motel when the drifter catches up with his prey. Against the backdrop of the resulting nationwide riots and the pathos of King's funeral, Sides gives us a riveting cross-cut narrative of the assassin's flight and the sixty-five-day search that led investigators to Canada, Portugal, and England — a massive manhunt ironically led by Hoover's FBI.
Magnificent in scope, drawing on a wealth of previously unpublished material, this nonfiction thriller illuminates one of the darkest hours in American life — an example of how history is so often a matter of the petty bringing down the great.

"Roads to Memphis" American Experience Film
2. Which characters came alive for you in Hellhound on His Trail? Did you learn anything new about some of the figures involved in this period of American history, or have you come to think about certain individuals in a different way based on what you've read about them?
3. In his "Note to Readers," Hampton Sides writes, "All writers sooner or later go back to the place where they came from." Having been a child living in Memphis when Martin Luther King was shot, do you think Sides separated himself from the events he reported on in this book? Consider this question in context to the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 or the tragic attacks of 9/11: Is it possible to be a journalistic observer of an occurrence like this when it happens in your hometown?
4. Every fact and incident in Hellhound on His Trail is impeccably sourced, yet it has the narrative drive of a thriller. What did you think of the author's treatment of the subject matter? When reading about a major historical event such as this one, do you prefer a narrative like the one Sides has constructed, one that re-creates the immediacy of the time, or a more straightforward timeline of events? How might this book differ from other nonfiction titles you may have read on the subject?
5. There are many who believe that James Earl Ray was part of a larger conspiracy and was set up to be the "fall guy" for King's assassination. Based on the evidence the author presents in Hellhound on His Trail, do you believe Ray was the sole person responsible for King's death? If so, why do you think theories of a conspiracy have persisted?
6. Talk about Ray's escape from the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City and his time on the lam before arriving in Memphis. Would he have been able to remain as anonymous today as he did then? Talk about how society has changed since 1968: are people more or less trusting of loners like Ray nowadays?
7. In Chapter 2, the author describes King as having reached a point in his career where he had "slipped in stature, even among his own people." Were you aware of this dip in King's popularity, and if so, was it surprising to you? Talk about history's perpetuation of legend: in highlighting the achievements of a man such as King, do any cracks in his reputation become repaired, or disappear, over time?
8. Chapter 4 details FBI director J. Edgar Hoover's vendetta against King and his determination to expose King's personal transgressions. But while Hoover and his staff regularly tried to leak salacious details to the press, in Sides's words, "the media never took the bait." Why do you think this was the case? How has the media evolved in the last 50 years, especially in matters regarding the private behavior of public figures?
9. Consider the political rise of George Wallace during this period, and the number of people—including James Earl Ray—who were galvanized by his presidential campaign, particularly his pro-segregationist, if not outright racist, positions. Does Wallace bear some responsibility for King's assassination?
10. Do you see parallels between any of today's political movements and George Wallace's campaigns for office?
11. The manhunt that organized in the hours and days after King's assassination was epic; most notably, more than 3,000 FBI agents took part, and it cost upwards of $2 million (which, adjusted for inflation, would be more than $13.6 million today). Considering how much Hoover despised King, was it startling that he mobilized the bureau to such an enormous extent to find his killer?
12. Martin Luther King "believed nonviolence was a more potent force for self-protection than any weapon," (page 159). Given the threats he routinely faced—including the firebombing of his home in 1956 and being stabbed by a deranged woman in 1958—why did King nonetheless ban his staff from carrying guns or other weaponry?
13. "The bureau was well aware of the existence of bounties on King's head," (page 343). By not better protecting King in light of these threats, and for not realizing the impact his death would have on the nation, should the FBI have shared the blame for King's death?
14. Book Two of Hellhound on His Trail opens with this quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet: "For murder, though it hath no tongue, will speak with most miraculous organ." Why did the author choose to include this quote? What do you think this quote says about Ray?
15. Was it surprising to read about how easily Ray was able to slip out of Memphis after the shootings? Could he have been stopped sooner? Do you think Ray could have gotten away with his crime if he committed it today?
16. As Ray flees Canada for Europe, his desperation becomes acute and he begins to make mistakes that leave him exposed. Why was he was able to remain on the run for as long as he did? Think about his two critical errors in London as he entered Heathrow Airport to board a flight to Brussels. Considering his meticulousness at other points while in hiding, why did Ray try to walk through customs with two slightly different passports and a loaded gun in his pocket?
17. Shortly after Ray pled guilty to killing King and was sent to prison, he began to recant his involvement in the assassination and asked to be put on trial. And in the late 1990s, members of King's family—notably his son Dexter and his wife Coretta—came out publicly to urge that Ray have his day in court. Should Ray been given a trial?
18. "Throughout James Earl Ray's life, the despair was panoramic. The family suffered from exactly the sort of bleak, multigenerational poverty that King's Poor People's Campaign was designed to address." Consider this paradox that the author highlights. What led Ray to his life of crime? If King's efforts had made a difference in the life of someone like Ray, would Ray have taken another path in life?
19. What would have happened if Ray himself was murdered, much like John F. Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was killed by Jack Ruby? What benefits, if any, have come from Ray's remaining alive (until 1998) and speaking out? If Ray had died in the act of killing King, would the collective reaction of the country—riots, unrest—have been the same?
21. There are many labels that have been applied to James Earl Ray, among them: insane, criminal, racist, loner, oddball. How would you characterize him?
22. What do you believe would have happened to the civil rights movement had King lived? Would anything be different today?

Fayetteville Construction Accident Lawyers
Construction workers are faced with an incredible variety of occupational hazards on a daily basis. Though they are aware of the dangers and are trained and equipped to limit the probability that they will suffer a workplace injury, some accidents cannot be avoided. The medical needs that arise in the wake of an occupational accident or in conjunction with an occupational disease can be extensive, and the cost for treatment might be prohibitive if it were not for the benefits available through the completion of a successful workers' compensation claim.
Unfortunately, the insurance companies that issue workers' compensation policies and the employers who purchase them are often reluctant to cooperate with an injured worker throughout the process. This can lead to unnecessary delays or the wrongful denial of benefits, and you deserve better than that. Contact the Fayetteville construction accident lawyers of Scudder & Hedrick, PLLC., at (910) 488-1600 to speak with a skilled and experienced workers' compensation attorney about your case.
Typical Causes for the Filing of a Construction Accident Claim
The specific occupational hazards that a construction worker is likely to encounter will depend heavily upon the nature of his or her position. Welders, for example, are at a greater risk of being burned than carpenters. The following list represents some of the most typical causes for the filing of a workers' compensation claim:
- Equipment Malfunction
- Slip and Fall
- Lifting Injuries
- Amputations
- Wrongful Death
- Occupational Diseases

We know how important it is that you have the financial support offered by workers' compensation benefits. Contact the Fayetteville construction accident lawyers of Scudder & Hedrick, PLLC., at (910) 488-1600 to learn how we can help you.

Buying Real Estate in Leh - Buying Property in Ladakh
How to buy real estate in Leh Ladakh? I mean you have written so much on Leh Ladakh so I was wondering do you have any advice about buying land or buying an already constructed flat or house or villa in Leh. Please let me know what are the papers required and is there any finance scheme I mean bank loan available? I would love to own a house on this land as it is so beautiful plus it will serve as my holiday home when I will be there. Plus also tell would it be a good investment property for long term gains? These were the questions asked by one of my friends on Facebook. His name is Amit and we became friends just a few days ago after he read my travel articles via FB.
So I answered him by saying that, "Who would not love to own a house or a piece of land in this beautiful place, it's like buying real estate in heaven. Isn't it? But unfortunately I would like to inform you that the State of Jammu and Kashmir where Leh Ladakh is located is under a special act and only domiciles of J&K can legitimately buy/sell/own property in this region."
"Yes, it is article 370 under which residents of Jammu and Kashmir can buy real estate anywhere in India without any difficulties and J&K is the only state in India which has this article implemented since 1951 by Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru but unfortunately, residents of other states or countries cannot buy real estate no matter they are farmer or not (as required to buy agricultural land)", though I know of a few people, even foreigners who have bought real estate in Leh in the name of locals, run it as guest houses for years and also used it as a holiday home too. It is a win-win situation for both. I have heard of even boat houses on Dal Lake in Srinagar Jammu and Kashmir have been bought in this way.
So the only way to buy property in Leh Ladakh is in the name of a local. However, one can buy property which is residential in nature in Himachal Pradesh, but you can not buy agriculture land there. This means that in H.P., you can buy any property which lies within the municipal limits of the town but not outside it.
Under special conditions, one can buy up to 500 square yards of agriculture land in H.P., but the process is very lengthy and requires knowing right people and having right amount of money, so this is the reason why people mostly lease real estate from the locals in J&K. This year when I went to Manali near Leh with my friends, we met a lawyer in Manali. One of our friends took a small hotel on lease in Manali. The lawyer told us one can buy agricultural land in HP if he/she is an ex-servicemen or a senior citizen farmer and Himachal is still on a loose side, but buying real estate in Leh Ladakh is not possible directly and only can be bought via a local.
What a beautiful hub. Love the pics! Thanks for helping me to discover Leh Ladakh.
In case you are interested to have property in Leh on Lease in a legitimate way contact me. I shall show you the way.

In office March 9, 2000 – April 22, 2015 |
Appointed by | Bill Clinton |
Preceded by | John Kelly |

Personal details | |
Born | January 13, 1937 Hatton, North Dakota |
Alma mater | University of North Dakota |
Kermit Edward Bye (born January 13, 1937) is a former United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
Early life and education[edit]
Born in Hatton, North Dakota, Bye earned a B.S. from the University of North Dakota in 1959 and a law degree in 1962 from the University of North Dakota School of Law.[1][2]
Professional career[edit]
After completing law school, Bye worked as deputy state securities commissioner in North Dakota from 1962 until 1964 and as a special assistant attorney general in North Dakota from 1964 until 1966. He then was an assistant U.S. attorney for the district of North Dakota from 1966 until 1968. Bye joined the Vogel law firm in Fargo, North Dakota, in 1968, and practiced at that firm until his judicial confirmation in 2000.[3]
Federal judicial service[edit]
President Clinton nominated Bye to his Eighth Circuit seat on April 22, 1999 to fill a vacancy created by the death in 1998 of Judge John David Kelly, who was Bye's friend and former law partner.[2] "I'm very pleased in the trust the president has placed in me and I'm honored to be able to follow my friend and 30-year law partner into this position," Bye told the Associated Press on the day of his nomination. "But it's unfortunate that this opportunity for me arose from his death."
Although Bye's nomination was unanimously approved by the U.S. Senate's Judiciary Committee on November 17, 1999, his nomination languished because of an impasse between President Clinton and Republicans in the Senate over the president's use of recess appointments. Ultimately, however, the U.S. Senate confirmed Bye to the seat on the Eighth Circuit in a 98-0 vote on February 24, 2000, and he received his commission on March 9, 2000. "The process involved...can be complex at best, certainly at times confusing and at times even frustrating," Bye told his supporters at his June 1, 2000 swearing-in, according to an article on the Associated Press feed on June 2, 2000. But "when it all works out, then it doesn't seem so bad after all."
Bye assumed senior status on April 22, 2015. He retired from active service on September 1, 2016

Leicester City is partnered with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, and the trip was part of a goodwill effort on behalf of Leicester's Thai owners.If Pearson, Hopper or Smith make it back to the team next season, the "Its Amazing Thailand" ad that normally appears on the back of their jerseys will have an extra special meaning.SponsoredUpdate (5:37 p.m): Twitter user @Ats_spin has been tweeting out uncensored videos of the orgy.

Classic Blackjack at PokerStars Casino
Widely regarded as the most popular form of Blackjack in the world, Classic Blackjack is just one of a number of Blackjack variations available at PokerStars Casino. Join the action on Single Player and Multi-Player tables now!
Game Rules
In Classic Blackjack eight 52-card decks are used. The decks are shuffled together before every hand is dealt, and the dealer does not receive a hole card. Dealers must hit on all totals of 16 or under as well as on soft 17 (a hand containing an ace that totals either seven or 17), and should you hit Blackjack you will be paid at 3:2 odds.
If the player's hand loses to Blackjack, then only the mandatory initial bet is forfeited and all other optional bets that have not bust (splits and doubles) will be pushed and returned.
Player Betting Options
The minimum bet in Classic Blackjack is $0.10, but more betting options become available as hands progress. Players can double down on any two-card hand, meaning you can double your initial bet, so long as you are committed to 'standing' after being dealt one additional card.
Player can also split two cards if they are paired or of equal value. So if you are dealt nine-nine, king-queen, seven-seven or jack-ten you can create two hands for an additional wager of the same amount. Here are some additional rules on splitting:
- Players can split three times for a total of four hands, except when dealt a pair of aces
- Aces may be split only once, after which players will receive only one card for each split hand
- Players can double down on any hand, including after a non-ace split
Insurance and Surrender
When playing at Classic Blackjack tables, players cannot 'surrender'. However, if you think the dealer is about to hit Blackjack, you can also buy 'insurance'. This means should the dealer hit Blackjack, you'll be paid 2:1 on your insurance bet.
The theoretical return to player (RTP) for Classic Blackjack is 99.41%. For more on how to play the game, visit our Blackjack Rules page.

If you're buying the iPhone for the unsubsidized price, is it 400 and 500 UP FRONT? Or do you pay the extra $200 as part of the monthly bill? A quick answer would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: Move this thread please, wrong section.
I guess we can discuss it here.. even though it's in the wrong section. Sorry. Well I'm not upgrade eligible so aren't i required to buy the unsubsidized? I'm confused now *sigh*.
Whoa buddy you're way out of line here. I calmly accept the fact that I have to pay an extra $200 for the unsubsidized price. Go troll somewhere else. I'm asking about the process and the aftermath.
I have not seen it posted anywhere but I would think the 3G would be an additional $200 to the AT&T price. If you don't need 3G (not many places in the US have 3G outside of the big cities) it would be better for you to buy the previous iphone for about $200-300 and jailbreak it to work with your phone company. I've seen T-moble iphones but I think you loose some of the abilities.
I'm on att.. I just want to know can I buy the unsubsidized and it'll be treated like buying a normal subsidized iPhone except for the extra $200, and it won't be all complicated and whatnot. Also, if you pay the extra $200 upfront or overtime.
probably too late but you pay it all up front not on your cell bill otherwise, how could the government tax you for it?

To Paris in 24 hours
On Saturday afternoon, twelve cyclists (including James Cox from Epidemiology) arrived at the Eiffel Tower in Paris just over 24 hours after leaving Trafalgar Square in London using only bikes and the ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe. They didn't quite meet their target (~30 mins over) but still consider it a challenge that was successful enough to raise money for Access Sport (http://www.accesssport.org.uk/) whose mission is to give more children, particularly in disadvantaged areas, access to a wide range of quality local sport.

The problem with missions, as any superhero worth his salt would testify, is, as soon as one has reached a successful conclusion, there invariably seems to be an even tougher one to take its place.
The problem with missions, as any superhero worth his salt would testify, is, as soon as one has reached a successful conclusion, there invariably seems to be an even tougher one to take its place.
As Sunderland's players celebrated the club's return to the top flight and their manager Mick McCarthy attempted to sift through the 71 messages of congratulations on his phone, the attention of many had already shifted to the fresh challenges which lie ahead.
The Black Cats secured a return to the Premiership with a nervy, yet highly entertaining victory over Leicester City. Their 18-year-old debutant goalkeeper, Ben Alnwick, kept them in the contest early on, before Marcus Stewart and Steve Caldwell's goals cancelled out Alan Maybury's strike.
For a club which, only two years ago, fell through the Premiership trapdoor with the lowest number of points ever, paralysed by debt, and whose own supporters were so disillusioned with the demise that less than half renewed their season tickets, promotion represents a remarkable achievement.
"I was tainted by those games at the end of the Premiership," McCarthy reflected, in the afterglow of an achievement he described as his biggest in the game. "I took the criticism then and I will thoroughly enjoy the praise we receive for getting the club promoted." McCarthy was still smarting from the humiliation of losing those first nine games in charge when the mass exodus of players began. When the Black Cats missed out on promotion last season, losing a penalty shoot-out to Crystal Palace in a play-off semi-final, he lost even more established stars.
But, out of the rubble, he has constructed a new team, trawling the lower leagues and Premiership reserve teams for emerging young talent, such as Dean Whitehead, Stephen Elliott, Liam Lawrence and Andy Welsh, along with free transfers like Caldwell and Carl Robinson. It was, as the former Republic of Ireland coach admits, a gamble, but it is one which has paid a rich dividend.
It is difficult to argue with Sunderland's right to a Premiership return. An eight-game win streak last month included a 1-0 win at Wigan, while last weekend's trip to Ipswich brought a 2-2 draw from a game they deserved to win. Significantly, the Black Cats won two and drew two of the four games with their nearest rivals.
Yet, even as the memories of Stewart's expert finish from Chris Brown's pass and Caldwell's winner, a second-half header from Lawrence's corner, still burned brightly, McCarthy admitted his attention had already turned to the problem of keeping his side in the top flight next season.
Sunderland are still hindered by a debt of around £38m. While promotion could be worth as much as £25m, much of this will be swallowed up by the club's overdraft.
The board has a choice. It can invest heavily in players in the hope of avoiding relegation, or can adopt a more cautious approach, pay off some of the debt and hope McCarthy can work wonders again on a tight budget, safe in the knowledge that the club will be secure financially, even if they do immediately return to the Championship.
"I've no idea how much money I will have to spend," McCarthy said. "We want to have a good drink first and enjoy what we have achieved; it's been a magnificent effort considering what this club has been through. But I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been thinking about the Premiership for weeks now. We've got that challenge ahead but, for now, I want to bring this season to an end by proving we are the best team in this division and that means going up as champions."
Goals: Maybury (5) 0-1; Stewart (23) 1-1; Caldwell (60) 2-1.
Sunderland (4-4-2): Alnwick; Wright, Breen, Caldwell, Arca; Lawrence, Whitehead, Robinson, Welsh (Collins, 71); Stewart (Elliott, 81), Brown (Deane, 77). Substitutes not used: Ingham (gk), Thornton.
