Clarksville, TN – As good as Grant Leaver was on the golf course, he had the undying desire to give basketball a shot. As a prep basketball standout, he and Matthew Dotson had formed a formidable one-two punch at Hickman County High School.
But Leaver was the cornerstone of then-new head coach Kirk Kayden's golf team. He was named to the OVC All-Freshman team in Spring 2005 after sporting a 73.3 scoring average. He claimed his first medalist honor (F&M APSU Intercollegiate) in Fall 2005. The last thing Kayden could afford was for the 6-7 Leaver getting hurt.
Clarksville, TN – With the 2014 calendar coming to an end this week, there were several highlights over the past 12 months for the Austin Peay Athletic Department, but topping the list has to be the NCAA Championship appearances by Marco Iten in Men's golf and Breigh Jones in women's outdoor track and field.
Iten, a senior, would start his run to the NCAA men's golf championships by winning Ohio Valley Conference medalist honors by a shot, which earned his a spot in the NCAA Regional in Auburn, AL.
Clarksville, TN – One of the greatest golfers in the Governors illustrious history plus a former football standout who returned to his alma mater to help coach the program to its only Ohio Valley Conference title have been selected to Austin Peay State University Athletics Hall of Fame.
In addition, a former superb basketball player from Austin Peay's small college era was selected to the Hall of Fame as part of it Honors category.
Grant Leaver, a two-time All-Ohio Valley Conference honoree who won five individual championships and played in the 2008 NCAA East Regional; Ed Bunio, a two-way player who was an All-OVC offensive tackle for the 1964 8-1-1 club and later was the architect for 1977 Governors' championship defense, have been elected to APSU Athletics Hall of Fame. Meanwhile, Bob Bradley, who was a key member of two College Division NCAA teams in 1960-61, was chosen as this year's honors inductee.

Brentwood, TN – Ninety-five Austin Peay State University student-athletes were recognized on the Ohio Valley Conference's Commissioner's Honor Roll for their academic achievements during the 2013-14 academic year. That total included 15 student-athletes who received the league's Academic Medal of Honor.
"The greatest metric of our success at Austin Peay is our commitment to excellence in the classroom," said van der Merwe. "The student-athletes at this great University are special and represent the very best of the Ohio Valley Conference. We are proud of what this says about our student-athletes, our University, and the many great faculty and staff to rally behind our students every day."

Clarksville, TN – Kirk Kayden, who has guided Austin Peay State University men's golf program to unprecedented success during 10 years as the program's head, resigned Thursday afternoon to accept another head-coaching opportunity.
Kayden guided the Govs to two Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championships since taking over in 2004, capturing the crown in 2009 and 2013.

Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University men's golf team will feature four freshmen for the 2014-15 season.
Head coach Kirk Kayden has announced the signing of Colton Godwin, an Ocala, FL, native who has enjoyed a superb high school and junior golf career.

Clarksville, TN – It will be a mixture of some familiar tournaments and different ones greeting a much younger Austin Peay State University men's golf team this fall.
The Govs, who lost four-year starters Marco Iten and Anthony Bradley along with four-season contributor Trey Tarpley among others, potentially could feature an extremely young lineup, although rising senior Tucker Wallace and juniors Chris Baker and Austin Kramer will offer much experience.

text: I have a 20cm f/4, a Q with John White AI conversion, a QC with factory AI conversion and an AI. My favorite is the QC. The cm has a very long close focusing distance. The Q is fine but the QC is better coated. The AI is supposed to be sharper but I don't see it. It's smaller without being much lighter. The Q and QC seem to balance well on the camera. The AIS is the same as the AI optically but the AIS is slightly different mechanically and might have slightly improved coating. I see very little difference in the effectiveness of the coating between the QC and the AI. There was a 'K' version of the 200/4. It's the same, optically, as the AI but in non-AI form. On a Nikkormat, using a 200/4 is only easy in bright light. With an F2, FE, FE2, N2020 or N90S I use an E screen. There is no focusing aid to black out and the grid lines are a good sharpness reference. Fixed focal length lenses in this range became less popular over time as zooms in the 80-200 range became more popular. In most cases a 200/4 Nikkor from the Q on is sharper across the field than a zoom at the 200mm setting.

I really enjoyed Other Words For Love. I loved
that it was an historical novel in that in took place in
1985, however, it just seemed like a simpler twenty-first
century. Everything was pretty much the same as now, except
there were no computers, cell phones or iPods. It made the
love story simpler in that there wasn't facebook or text
messages complicating everything. It was fun reading about a
time period that I missed living in by only a few years.
Besides the setting, the characters in Other Words for Love
were really strong. Ari is the responsible one, the daughter
who will get a good education and have a career before she
gets caught up in boy drama. But when she meets and falls in
love with Blake, everything changes. Even though Ari's life
starts going downhill, she still manages to fix everything
in the end. I also loved reading the romance between Ari and
Blake because they seemed like a real couple. Overall, Other
Words for Love was a very well-written and sincere love
story that girls of all ages will enjoy.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have announced their decision to assign power forward Luke Harangody to the Canton Charge, the team's NBDL affiliate.
Appearing in five games during the 2010-11 NBA season, Harangody has averaged 2.6 points on .455 shooting, 1.2 rebounds and 7.6 minutes of play. He was acquired during the 2010 NBA trade deadline, along with center Semih Erden, in exchange for a second-round draft selection via the Boston Celtics. He finished second in Notre Dame men's basketball program history in both points (2,476) – second to former Cavalier Austin Carr – and rebounds (1,222).
This move likely signals that rookie power forward Tristan Thompson will be activated this Friday after missing the past two games with an ankle injury.

EEOC Creates Resource Guide on Disabled Individuals for Employers
- Article Information
- Published on Monday, 09 February 2015 06:49
At a Summit on Disability and Employment, the White House announced a new guide for employers related to the employment of disabled individuals, created by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The resource guide, Recruiting, Hiring, Retaining, and Promoting People with Disabilities, provides employers with technical assistance tools in a question-and-answer format. The resource guide also identifies federal resources for employers interested in recruiting, hiring, retaining, and promoting disabled individuals. It is also intended to answer common questions from employers related to the employment of disabled individuals. The helpful guide is divided into four sections as follows:
- Best Practices for Recruiting Candidates with Disabilities;
- Best Practices for Respecting, Retaining and Promoting Employees with Disabilities;
- Best Practices for Providing Reasonable Accommodations;
- The Legal Framework.
One important question addressed by the resource guide is "what can an interviewer ask about a person's disability during the hiring process?
DOJ Settles INA Discrimination Claim Against IBM
- Article Information
- Published on Monday, 30 September 2013 15:22
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has reached an agreement with International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) resolving allegations that the company violated the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) by placing online job postings for application and software developers containing citizenship status preferences for F-1 and H-1B temporary visa holders. F-1 visas are issued to foreign students studying in the United States, and H-1B visas are issued to foreign nationals with technical expertise in specialized fields. Under the INA, employers are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of citizenship status unless required to comply with law, regulation, executive order or government contract. The anti-discrimination provision of the INA does not permit employers to express or imply a preference for temporary visa holders over U.S. workers, such as U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. IBM has agreed to pay $44,400 in civil penalties and to revise its hiring procedures. Read More.

Employer Agrees to Pay $700,000 For Alleged Discriminatory Hiring Practices
- Article Information
- Published on Wednesday, 01 May 2013 05:41
Presrite Corporation, a manufacturing company headquartered in Cleveland that makes gears and other industrial parts, will pay $700,000, offer jobs to no fewer than 40 women, and commit to other injunctive relief to settle a systemic class action lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC's lawsuit charged that the company engaged in widespread discrimination against women who applied to work at one or more of Presrite's three plants in Cleveland and Ashtabula County. According to the EEOC, Presrite - a federal contractor - consistently passed over female applicants in favor of less-qualified males for entry-level positions at all three plants. The EEOC also cited evidence that women who were hired for such positions were harassed. The agency pointed to testimony from a former Presrite employee who testified that her male-coworkers told her women should not be working there; called her a "dumb b----h"; drew degrading pictures of her; and suggested that she open the top of her work uniform to pose for a photograph. The EEOC also charged the company with failing to keep applications and other employee data in violation of federal law. The EEOC alleged that Presrite failed to produce more than a thousand employment applications for persons the company hired and failed to maintain accurate or complete data about applicants. As a result, the EEOC said, it was unable to identify by name all of the female applicants who were unlawfully denied hire. Read More.
DOL Announces New Online Recruiting Resource for Employers
- Article Information
- Published on Wednesday, 27 March 2013 15:51
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has launched a suite of online resources, know as the "Business Center," for employers looking to recruit, train and retain a skilled work force through the department's CareerOneStop website. The website includes tips about how to recruit qualified candidates through local American Job Centers and provides employment projections. Additionally, the website offers access to local training and educational institutions, a catalog of occupational certifications and a tool to help employers translate the military training and skills of returning service members into specific civilian occupations. The CareerOneStop Business Center is available online at http://www.careeronestop.org/business. According to Jane Oates, assistant secretary of labor for employment and housing, "These resources will help educate employers about our nation's work force development system and put the resources they need to find and hire qualified workers right at their fingertips." The new Business Center page builds on existing resources available through CareerOneStop, which also has information to help job seekers find education and training providers, conduct a job search and access local labor market information.

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/649,439 filed on Jan. 3, 2007 and entitled Area Array Modulation and Lead Reduction In Interferometric Modulators, which is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/731,989, filed on Dec. 9, 2003 and entitled Area Array Modulation and Lead Reduction In Interferometric Modulators, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,161,728. Each of the above applications is incorporated by reference hereby in its entirety.
Interferometric modulators, such as the iMoD™, modulate light by controlling the self-interference of light that strikes the front surface of the modulator. These types of modulators typically employ a cavity having at least one movable or deflectable wall. This deflectable wall moves through planes parallel to the front wall of the cavity—the wall that is first encountered by light striking the front surface of the modulator. As the movable wall, typically comprised at least partly of metal and highly reflective, moves towards the front surface of the cavity, self-interference of the light within the cavity occurs, and the varying distance between the front and movable wall affects the color of light that exits the cavity at the front surface. The front surface is typically the surface where the image seen by the viewer appears, as interferometric modulators are usually direct-view devices.
Typically, interferometric modulators are constructed of membranes formed over supports, the supports defining individual mechanical elements that correspond to the picture elements (pixels) of an image. In a monochrome display, such as a display that switches between black and white, one element might correspond to one pixel. In a color display, three elements may make up each pixel, one each for red, green and blue. The individual elements are controlled separately to produce the desired pixel reflectivity.
In one example of operation, a voltage is applied to the movable wall of the cavity, causing it be to electrostatically attracted to the front surface which in turn affects the color of the pixel seen by the viewer. A difficulty exists in producing modulators with accurate and repeatable mechanical properties, so that specific applied analog voltages produce specific analog displacements of the movable wall that acts as a mirror at the back of the interferometric cavity. To produce accurate and repeatable color combinations, typical modulators use only binary displacement of the movable mirror. In this mode of operation any given movable mirror-wall will be found at rest in either its quiescent state where it produces one of the color states mentioned above or its fully deflected state where it produces a black optical state.
Thus these binary operated modulators are capable of displaying only two gray levels per pixel, such as black and white in the case of a monochrome modulator, or eight colors per pixel, such as red, green, blue, cyan, yellow, magenta, black, and white for example, in the case of a color modulator. It is desirable to display additional shades of gray in a monochrome display and additional colors in the case of a color display. Since controlling analog deflection of the single monochrome mirror per pixel or three-color mirrors per pixel can be unreasonably difficult it becomes necessary to devise a modulator architecture with a more complex pixel structure.
Embodiments of the invention may be best understood by reading the disclosure with reference to the drawings, wherein:
The modulator is typically comprised of an array of individual elements arranged in rows and column. One element shown in
The resulting picture element (pixel) from a direct-view display will be composed of elements such as the one shown in
The most basic display activates simultaneously all modulator elements of a given color within a pixel with the result being that eight colors per pixel are possible. The current invention provides for the activation within a pixel of some elements of a given color separately from other elements of that same color. This enables multiple intensities of red light, multiple intensities of blue light, and multiple intensities of green light to be mixed within a given pixel. The result is that rather than being limited to 8 colors per pixel the interferometric display is capable of thousands of colors per pixel.
Similar types of area-weighted modulation have been practiced in other types of displays. For example
Because the individual elements of interferometric modulators tend to operate in a binary mode, bright in a quiescent state and dark in a fully deflected state, analog operation is not readily available. Therefore, interferometric modulators are likely to benefit from an area-ruled method of operation. It is one purpose of embodiments of this invention to provide a method of area-ruled operation that is uniquely suited for application to interferometric modulators and which reduces the complexity required by previous implementations.
One embodiment of an interferometric modulator area-ruled architecture requiring fewer pin outs and still providing higher bit depth is shown in
To understand how the system in
As soon as sub-elements 42 a, 42 b, and 42 c have reached their newly addressed positions switch 56 opens and switch 58 closes. Immediately thereafter switch 57 closes and switch 59 opens, and the data lines 43, 45, and 47 are driven to the appropriate values for sub-pixels 42 b, 44 b, and 46 b. This sequence continues until the three data lines have been driven with the four different data sets to update the twelve sub-pixels in display element 40. Then this sequence repeats for rows 6, 7, and so on.
As shown in
As can be seen from
The term 'similar to' as used here means that the devices have the same basic structure of an electrode, a cavity, and a mirror suspended over the cavity. When constructing an electrical switch, the optical functionality fabricated near the glass substrate in an interferometric modulating element is not required, and it may be desirable to eliminate this optical functionality. It is only required that at full deflection the mirror come in contact with (and hence connect electrically) two conductive areas, most likely fabricated from the thin film layers used to fabricate the addressing electrodes and/or a conductive layer used to form the front wall of the optically resonant cavity. This is different than the way the interferometric element may operate, which is why the switch structure is 'similar to' rather than the same as the display element.
A timing diagram for one possible operation of row 5 is shown in
This embodiment results in a reduced number of connections between the array and the driver. The connections necessary to drive the individual sub-elements in the sub-rows are made in the surrounding area of the modulator array, bringing them 'on-chip' with the array, rather than requiring the driver device to provide separate output pins for each sub-element.
The sub-elements shown in
The elements having different physical sizes are activated as needed to achieve an overall display pixel with a given color intensity. The table below shows the ON sub-elements, by reference number for each color intensity level.
Although described here as being addressed by the multiplexing technique of
In an alternative embodiment, the bit depth of 4 is achieved by dividing each sub-column for a display element into 16 (24) sub-elements. Each set of 16 sub-elements in each sub-column are connected together in a cascading fashion and are therefore referred to as 'sub-element cascades.' The individual cascaded sub-elements may be fabricated to serve as both interferometric modulating elements and electrical switches such as those shown in
An example of a display element 60 having sub-element cascades for 4 bits of depth is shown in
The sub-element cascade is addressed by applying one polarity of an address voltage to the moving mirror 84 and the fixed contact 86 a. The second polarity of the address voltage is applied to an electrode within or below the optical film stack 84. The resultant potential difference causes mirror 82 to deflect, completing the connection between conductor 86 a and 86 b as shown in
During the second addressing, the address pulse is shorter, and only three elements switch to the 'black' state. In the final addressing, 13 elements switch to the 'black' state leaving a fairly dark reflectance color value of three. The discontinuity in the timing diagram represents the relatively long period (typically a 'frame time' in video terms) that the mirrors remain in their addressed states. It is during this integration time that the viewer's eye becomes impressed with the area weighted intensity value.
At the end of each frame time,
Once the address pulse has been active long enough for the first sub-element to switch, the addressing signal is 'passed on' to the next element in the array. Again, the address pulse must be active long enough past the switching of the first element to cause the second element to switch. As the response times of the sub-elements are assumed to be approximately the same, the sub-element cascade should be controllable to provide a desired number of sub-elements to turn ON while providing a relatively high immunity to spurious signals. The cumulative effect is to cause the display element to form the proper color intensity in the resultant pixel. In this manner, a display element with a bit density of 4 was made possible without any extra connection lines or extra connections from the driver device.
The cascade effect described above is based upon movable mirror elements that provide both the optical function of the display as well as the electrical switching cascade itself. An alternative, shown in
As shown in
In all of these manners, alternative methods of providing intensity bit depths far beyond a single bit can be accomplished for interferometric elements. While the implementations above were discussed with regard to a bit-depth of 4, having 16 levels of color intensity, these embodiments may be employed for any bit-depth greater than 1.
Thus, although there has been described to this point particular embodiments for a method and apparatus for area array modulation and reduced lead count in interferometric modulators, it is not intended that such specific references be considered as limitations upon the scope of this invention except in-so-far as set forth in the following claims.

March Madness Picks: Big East Semifinals – Cincinnati vs. Syracuse
- Updated: March 9, 2012
There are just four teams left in Madison Square Garden to fight it out for the Big East championship, and on Friday night, the Cincinnati Bearcats will look to get the best of the Syracuse Orange.
It's a good thing that the Bearcats are going to have a few extra hours to prepare for this one, as they had to play two overtimes to take care of the Georgetown Hoyas on Thursday. There haven't been all that many great games that UC has won this year, but that was surely one of them and will remove all doubt about the relatively weak SOS that the team has. Amazingly enough, the Bearcats used all five of their starters for at least 40 minutes on Thursday, and Dion Dixon played for 48 of the total 50 minutes. Only Justin Jackson came off of the bench for more than five minutes for the game, and he was the only man off the bench that scored a single point. Yancy Gates had 23 points and eight boards, while Dixon was one of the other three double digit scorers on the game. The Bearcats needed their stout defense to prevail though, and this is the unit that really did a nice job for the majority of the game. Cincy is allowing just 61.3 points per game this year, ranking No. 39 in the nation and it is a team that ranks in the Top 100 in the country in virtually every major defensive category.

The 'Cuse are still getting a bad rap even though they are 31-1 this year, and we are starting to wonder what else this team has to prove. Sure, Syracuse has won some ugly games this year, and it came from behind to put aside the UConn Huskies on Thursday afternoon in one of those ugly duels. However, no one asks how you win the games, just whether you win them. Fab Melo and the gang really cracked down defensively against the Huskies, especially late in the second half when the Orange went on their run to pull in front. On a night in which CJ Fair, Kris Joseph, and Scoop Jardine combined to shoot just 2-for-18 from the floor, the rest of the Orange really stepped it up. Dion Waiters came off of the bench to add 18 points, while James Southerland hit two of the biggest shots of the season for Syracuse and finished with 10 points to lead the way. Still, only getting 10 points out of Joseph isn't good enough, especially considering that he went just 1-of-8 from the floor and 8-of-13 from the charity stripe, and he is going to be key to get to the Big East finale.
The Final Word: In the end, the depth of the Orange is going to make the difference in this one. There is a reason that Syracuse is the relatively large favorite, and coming off of that double-overtime game is going to prove to be a killer to the Bearcats.
Cincinnati Bearcats @ Syracuse Orange Pick: Syracuse Orange
