See that CNBC is raking all the analysts over the coals this morning... LOL, just as I am others have posted here before. If you follow what the analysts tell you to do, you will lose money everytime. Analysts downgrading things left and right this morning. Sorta like closing the barn door AFTER the horse is already 3 counties away. On the OTCBB, the market is manipulated by MMs who use it for their own gain... not to provide for market flow and match buyers and sellers. On the NASDAQ/listed, The big brokerage firms manipulate the market to the tune of billions of dollars a day. And... the scapegoat for it all is a kid who made $285K on a few P & D schemes.... Ya gotta know though that the SEC always has a positive money flow. Tom

Here, you need one of these to talk to your broker, while going 200mph. INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 22, 2000--Researchers from Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU) have given drivers for one of the top teams on the Formula One racing circuit a clearer way to communicate with their pit crews during Sunday's SAP U.S. Grand Prix in Indianapolis. Drivers from the Benson & Hedges Jordan Grand Prix team will use helmets equipped with noise-cancellation microphones specially adapted for use in race cars by Bell Labs researchers and acoustic engineers from Lucent's Microelectronics Group. In addition, each car is equipped with electronics that filter the voice signal to make it more intelligible. "The cockpit of a Formula One race car is one of the noisiest places in the world. In spite of this extreme environment, drivers must be able to communicate with their pit crews," said Mike Frank, an engineer for the Automotive Products Group within Lucent Microelectronics. In addition to the roar of an 800-horsepower engine that sits directly behind the driver, the cockpit is subjected to high levels of vibration, extreme temperatures and moisture. Engine noise is 10,000 times the level of normal conversation, reaching as high as 130 decibels. By comparison, a person standing about 300 feet from a jet plane would be exposed to 120 decibels. The foghorn on a boat puts out 105 decibels, and 100 decibels are produced by a helicopter hovering about 500 feet overhead. Engine noise can drown out the driver's voice at critical times during a race, meaning the driver could only communicate while slowing down for a turn. By adapting the sophisticated noise-cancellation technology Lucent uses in its advanced communications systems, Lucent has made it possible for drivers in the two Jordan cars to maintain communications with their pit crews at any point during the race. "With a noise-cancellation microphone the sound coming from a distance is canceled, but sound that's very close to the microphone, the voice of the race car driver, is enhanced," said Bell Labs scientist Jim West, who leads the team that adapted the technology for Jordan. Besides the noise coming from the outside, drivers have to deal with noise inside their helmets, according to West: "There are several places where external noise can actually get into that helmet: around the chin, through the air holes or around the face mask." "After working closely with the Lucent team and extensive testing of the system, we felt confident that it would improve our car-to-pit communications during the race," said Jordan Grand Prix Chief Engineer Tim Holloway. "We have used the Lucent system at the past four Formula One events and have definitely noticed a clearer channel between the drivers and pit." The tiny microphone, which is about a third of an inch in diameter and an eighth of an inch thick, replaces a much larger design that is far more sensitive to vibration and the other environmental factors a race car driver has to deal with. The smaller microphone is based on the high-performance electret design pioneered at Bell Labs by West and fellow scientist Gerhard Sessler. Electret microphones, the most popular kind in the world, produce high fidelity at low cost. The 190.3-mile SAP U.S. Grand Prix begins at 2 p.m. EDT on Sunday, Sept. 24, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with the qualifying round on Saturday, Sept. 23. Sunday's race will be the first U.S. Grand Prix since 1991. Lucent Technologies, headquartered in Murray Hill, N.J., designs and delivers the systems, software, silicon and services for next-generation communications networks for service providers and enterprises. Backed by the research and development of Bell Labs, Lucent focuses on high-growth areas such as broadband and mobile Internet infrastructure; communications software; communications semiconductors and optoelectronics; Web-based enterprise solutions that link private and public networks; and professional network design and consulting services.

EVERY STORY HAS A MORAL A woman and a man are involved in a car accident; it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but fortunately we aren't hurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days." Flattered, the man replied, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely! This must be a sign from God!" The woman continued, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands the bottle back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man. The man asks, "Aren't you having any?" The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police." Moral of the story: Women are clever bitches. Don't mess with them.
