This application claims priority of prior U.S. provisional patent application Nos. 60/544,522 filed Feb. 13, 2004 and 60/583,880, filed Jun. 29, 2004.
The present invention relates generally to circuit board arrangements, and more particularly to via arrangements that are used on printed circuit boards for high-speed electrical transmission applications.
In the field of data communication, data transfer speeds have steadily increased over the years. This increase in speed has required the development of high-speed electronic components for use in the telecommunications field, such as Internet use and use in data transfer and storage applications. In order to obtain an increase in the speed at which electrical signals are transmitted, it is known to use differential signals.
Twisted pair wires are commonly used to transmit differential signals and are most commonly used in electrical cables. These signal cables have one or more twisted pairs of wires that are twisted together along the length of the cable, with each such twisted pair being encircled by an associated grounding shield. These twisted pairs typically receive complimentary signal voltages, i.e., one wire of the twisted pair will carry a +1.0 volt signal, while the other wire of the twisted pair will carry a −1.0 volt signal. The wire pairs are twisted together along the axis of the cable so that each of the wires extends in a helical path along the cable and the wires are spaced apart from each other the same distance along this helical path for the length of the cable.
As the signal cables are routed on a path to an electronic device, they may pass by or near other electronic devices that emit their own electric field. These devices have the potential to create electromagnetic interference in the transmission lines formed by the signal cables. However, the twisted pair construction of the cables minimizes or diminishes any induced electrical fields by maintaining the two wires in a desired orientation so that they will capacitively couple to each other and to an associated grounding shield or drain wire, and this construction thereby substantially prevents electromagnetic interference from occurring in the cable and affecting the transmission of data signals through the cable.
In order to maintain electrical performance integrity from such a transmission line to the circuitry of an associated electronic device, it is desirable to obtain a substantially constant impedance throughout the transmission line, from circuit to circuit and to avoid large discontinuities in the impedance of the transmission line. Large discontinuties in the impedance of the transmission line can lead to the generation of undesireable crosstalk between the signal paths of the transmission line or elecrical "noise". Both this type of noise and crosstalk adversely affect the integrity of electrically transmitted signals at high frequencies (or data transfer speeds). The "transmission line" between electronic devices not only includes cables and connectors that interconnect two devices together, but also includes the printed circuit boards of the devices.
The impedance of twisted pair transmission cables may be controlled because it is easy to maintain a specific geometry or physical arrangement of the signal conductors and the grounding shield, an impedance change will usually encountered in the area where a cable is mated to a connector, where the connector is mounted to a printed circuit board and where the connector is mounted to a circuit board. This last area is referred to in the art as the "launch" area" where signals are launched from the transmission lines on (or in) the circuit board into a connector mounted thereto. Likewise, the signals may be launched from the connector into the circuit board and this area is commonly also referred to as an "exit" area. These areas are the same but may have different terms depending on the orientation and direction of the signal path, either from the circuit board to the connector or from the connector to the circuit board. The present invention is directed to improved structures used in these circuit board launch or exit areas.
Circuit boards are made up of multiple layers of conductive and nonconductive material. Each layer may be considered as defining one of multiple planes of the circuit board. A nonconductive layer may be used as a base of the circuit board and a surface or surfaces thereof may be coated with a conductive material such as a copper foil or plating. Portions of this are removed to form conductive extents on the surfaces of the board which are typically referred to in the art as "traces". These traces define circuit paths on the board base layer. A subsequent nonconductive layer is then applied onto the surfaces of the base layer and another conductive coating is applied to that layer and etched into a pattern. A third nonconductive layer is applied over this second conductive layer and the process is repeated until a multi-layer circuit board is formed. The different conductive layers are typically connected together by what are known in the art as "vias". A via is a hole that is drilled through the circuit board and the inner surface of which is plated. This plating interconnects the various conductive layers. The traces on the circuit board may lead to a via location when it is desired to connect the traces to other traces. Similarly, the vias may also be used to receive through-hole mounting pins or other mounting pins of connectors.
Pairs of traces may be formed in a circuit board layer to carry a pair of differential signals and each pair will define a differential signal transmission line of the circuit board. Each circuit board layer or plane, may support one or more such differential signal transmission lines. It is important to control the impedance of these transmission lines to minimize crosstalk and electrical interference during operation of the devices without unduly complicating the circuit board design and the circuit layouts on the circuit board.
The present invention is therefore directed to a circuit board design, utilizing circuit board vias and exits of conductive traces from the vias tat cooperatively define an electrical signal transmission line, to provide a high level of operational performance and which maintains the desired electrical characteristics, such as the impedance of the circuit board signal transmission lines.
Accordingly, it is a general object of the present invention to provide a circuit board structure for use in high speed signal transmission wherein a ground plane is provided for a differential signal transmission line on the circuit board and is positioned in a preferential location with respect to where the differential signal traces connect to a via on the circuit board so that each differential signal trace and its corresponding via pair engages in electrical coupling with the ground rather than with a nearby differential signal transmission line, which is made up of a pair of conductive traces and vias.
Another general object of the present invention is to provide an improved circuit board structure in which the configuration of a pair of conductive differential signal traces leading to or away from a via is specifically configured to control the impedance of the conductive traces that make up a differential signal transmission line on the circuit board.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a printed circuit board structure that may be used as either a "launch" or an "exit" area for mating with electronic components, such as electrical connectors, in which the structures include a pair of differential signal traces mated to through hole vias in the circuit board, and wherein the traces have a particular structure in the area where they exit from the vias so as to affect the impedance of the differential signal system
A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved circuit board construction wherein a pair of differential signal vias are positioned proximate to an associated ground via, the circuit board having at least one ground plane layer formed therein, and the ground plane having an anti-pad formed therein that encompasses the two differential signal vias and which is connected to the associated ground via and another ground via associated with another pair of differential signal vias, and another anti-pad that is positioned adjacent to the one anti-pad and encompassing a second, adjacent pair of differential signal vias, but contacting a second ground via associated with the adjacent pair of differential signal vias.
Still a further object of the present invention is to provide a circuit board with a new exit pattern for conductive traces leading from a pair of differential signal vias, the exit pattern including a bend in each of the exit portions of the traces, one bend of one of the trace exit portions lying inside of a bending radius of the other, outer trace exit portion, so that one of the trace exit portions is generally spaced apart from each other a similar and consistent distance from the body of the transmission line which they define to the position where one of the traces exits from an associated via.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an pattern for a pair of conductive circuit board traces exiting a pair of respective differential signal vias and leading to a differential signal transmission line on the circuit board, each of the traces including a conductive collar portion that encircles and contacts a corresponding via, an exit portion extending from the collar portion and terminating in the signal transmission portion, the exit portion including an increased width portion, the signal transmission portion extending lengthwise along an extent of the circuit board that is spaced apart from the pair of differential signal vias and which does not intersect the vias, the exit portions including at least one change of direction in order to meet with the signal transmission line.
Still yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a circuit board having the differential signal via trace exit pattern described above, and the circuit board including a plurality of ground plane layers, each of the ground plane layers having an anti-pad, the perimeter of which encompasses the collar and exit portions of the pair of differential signal traces.
Yet it is still another object of the present invention to provide circuit board trace patterns that are used to provide exits or routes out from -circuit board vias in which the impedance of the transmission lines formed on the circuit board is controlled by positioning a ground trace in proximity to a pair of differential signal traces, thereby forming a "triad" of circuit board traces where the two differential signal traces and the associated ground trace are located at apexes of an imaginary triangle.
Still a further object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement of differential signal traces and an associated ground trace that provide a transmission line path on or in a printed circuit board that promotes capacitive coupling among the differential signal and ground traces to thereby regulate the impedance of the transmission line from their exit from the circuit board vias to other destinations on the circuit board.
Yet still a further object of the present invention is to provide a circuit board conductive trace arrangement for use as an exit structure of such traces from a pair of conductive vias disposed on the circuit board, each of which is utilized to transmit electrical signals of differential signal circuits, the circuit board including a conductive ground plane layer with an opening formed therein, the opening encompassing the pair of differential signal vias, and the exit structure includ8ing a pair of enlarged conductive portions extending away from the vias toward each other and being spaced apart from each other by an intervening space, the enlarged portions subsequently narrowing down to thinner portions, also separated from each other by an intervening space, the thinner portions communicating with thin trace portions in an area of the circuit board which is outside of the pair of vias.
The present invention provides these objects, advantages and benefits by way of its structure. In one principal aspect of the present invention, four vias are provided on a circuit board. Two of the vias are designated as differential signal vias and as such, they include conductive traces that lead away from the differential signal vias within or on a layer of the circuit board and these traces define a differential signal transmission line of the circuit board layer. The remaining two vias are designated a ground vias and as such, they are connected to a ground reference plane, which is preferably in a plane or layer of the circuit board other than the plane or layer in which the differential signal transmission line extends. The ground reference plane is formed in a manner so that it has an opening formed therein that encompasses the pair of two differential signal vias. The ground reference plane is connected to both of the ground vias. The four vias are arranged at the comers of an imaginary four-sided figure, such as a square, rectangle, rhombus of the like and the ground reference plane may be solid and planar, or it may have a grid, or lattice-like, structure.
In another principal aspect of the present invention, a new launch, or exit, pattern for conductive traces leading from a pair of differential signal vias is provided. The exit pattern includes a pair of conductive traces that extend in a plane or layer of the circuit board from a pair of associated vias, preferably a pair of differential signal vias and each of the traces includes a bend within its launch or exit portion of the trace. One bend of one of the trace exit portions is disposed inside of a bending radius of the other, (and outer) trace exit portion, so that the spacing of the pair of trace exit portions from each other is generally a similar and consistent distance from an associated via to the body of the transmission line.
In yet another principal aspect of the present invention, a pattern for a pair of conductive circuit board traces exiting (or entering) a pair of respective differential signal vias and leading to a differential signal transmission line on the circuit board is provided. Each of the traces includes a conductive collar portion that encircles and contacts a corresponding via, and it further includes an exit portion that extends from the collar portion and joins to or terminates at the signal transmission line. The exit portion includes an increased width portion, and in one embodiment, this increased width portion may begin at near the centerline that runs from the center of one differential signal via to the other differential signal via. This increased width portion extends and may traverse at least one bend in its path to the signal transmission line, where it terminates by reducing down in width to that of the signal transmission line to which it is joined.
In another embodiment, the increased width portions have a configuration of a "flag", when viewed from above or from a direction normal to the plane of the conductive trace. The increased width portions also approach each other in a close spacing for coupling purposes. The increased width portions shall usually traverse at least one bend, or change in direction along their path from their vias to the signal transmission lines. In the preferred embodiments of the invention these flag portions of the pair of differential signal traces are evenly sized and symmetrical with each other.
As exemplified in another embodiment of the present invention, the impedance of the transmission lines formed on the circuit board, and particularly the exit or launch portions thereof may be controlled by positioning a ground trace in proximity to a pair of differential signal traces. The ground trace is positioned adjacent to the differential signal traces, but in different layers of the circuit board so that the three traces may be considered as forming a "triad" of circuit board. This triad configuration is best viewed from an end in a section through the circuit board, where the two differential signal traces and the associated ground trace are located at apexes of an imaginary triangle.
This triad arrangement within the layers of the circuit board promotes capacitive coupling among the differential signal and ground traces. In this manner, the impedance of the transmission line may be regulated from its exit portions from the vias of the circuit board to other destinations on the circuit board.
Such a circuit board conductive trace arrangement may further include a conductive ground plane layer with an opening. This opening, as with other embodiments of the invention, encompasses a pair of differential signal vias. The ground plane of one of the circuit board layers that lie adjacent to the layers supporting the differential signal traces may have a thin strip disposed on it that runs through, and preferably bisects, the non-conductive opening. This bisector strip runs between and underneath or above the transmission line portions of the two differential signal vias, and so creates a triad arrangement of the three traces that comprise the differential signal trace pair and their associated ground.
In another aspect, the differential signal traces are routed out from their associated signal vias on the circuit board along a common axis. A pair of ground vias is arranged along the same axis as the signal vias and are spaced further outside of the signal vias along the axis. Two ground exit traces having a relative wide width extend (in plane adjacent to the plane of the signal trace exit portions) from the ground vias toward a center point between the signal vias, where they join together and change direction. The direction change is one that matches the change in direction, or routing, of the differential signal vias as they move from their exit portions to the transmission line portions. Along this extent, the ground via exit trace has a width that is large enough to present a wide ground element tot he two differential signal vias. Preferably, the width of this ground via exit trace extends between the outer edges of the differential signal vias from a preselected distance, which may include the entire length of the signal transmission line.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be clearly understood through a consideration of the following detailed description.
In the course of this detailed description, the reference will be frequently made to the attached drawings in which:
Cables may be used to connect the assembly 100 of
In this manner, the likelihood that the differential signal pair will be split into multiple single-ended signals is reduced. The differential signal vias 401 are seen to penetrate the top metal ground plane layer 405 of the circuit board 400 and having a separation spacing (center-to-center) that is less than either B or H, the outer dimensions of the anti-pad. In this manner, the anti-pad is effectively decoupled from the differential signal pair and common mode coupling is minimized, while differential mode coupling between the two differential signal vias is increased.
The vias 121 are used not only to mount connectors and components to the circuit board 120, but are also used to interconnect various circuit of the board together. As stated above, a circuit board is typically made up on a series of layers of a fiberglass resin or similar compound. A plating layer is applied to one of these layers and is etched to form conductive traces on the surface of the layer. Another layer of fiberglass or resin is applied to the first layer, circuit traces are formed and so on until a multi-layer circuit board is formed with a plurality of circuits extending through the board on the different layers thereof. The vias are formed by drilling holes into the circuit board and exposing the conductive layers and then the inner surfaces of the vias are plated, thereby connecting together, all of the layers that touch the hole edge.
One manner of improving the performance of differential signal vias on a circuit board is that which is illustrated in
Assymmetrical Peferential Via Positioning
In this type of via pattern, two pairs of differential signal vias each share the single ground via in the center of the pattern. It has been discovered by us that this 5-die pattern creates crosstalk and it is difficult to very finely control the impedance of such a system. The grouping of one of the differential via pairs 202, 204 and the center ground via is preferably triangular in configuration with the three vias being located at the vertices of imaginary triangles represented by the bold lines T in
We refer to this structure as a "preferential ground" via layout because the spacing W1 between one differential signal via pair AA and its associated ground via 302 is less than the spacing W2 between the one differential signal via pair AA and another, adjacent pair BB of differential signal vias 306. In this manner, the one pair of differential signal vias AA is biased in its coupling toward its associated ground 302 and not toward either the other, adjacent differential signal via pair BB or the ground via 302 b associated with that differential signal via pair BB.
The ground plane 405 surrounding the pair 402 of differential signal vias 401 may be a large ground plane, as illustrated. In this manner, the likelihood that the differential signal pair will be split into multiple single-ended signals is reduced. The differential signal vias 401 are seen to penetrate the top metal ground plane layer 405 of the circuit board 400 and have a separation spacing (center-to-center) that is less than either B or H, the outer dimensions of the opening, or anti-pad 410. In this manner, the anti-pad 410 is effectively decoupled from the differential signal pair and common mode coupling is minimized, while differential mode coupling between the two differential signal vias is increased.
Additionally, one via 404 of the two ground vias 403, 404 is defined as a preferential ground, meaning that it is placed closer to the differential pair 402 than the other and is therefore designated as a primary ground reference. With this assymettrical relationship, the common mode coupling of the pair of differential signal vias is minimized and is defined for subsequent tuning of the impedance of the system, i.e., along its extent through the circuit board. The ground plane 405 is connected to both ground vias on the top and bottom surfaces of the circuit board as illustrated in
The exit paths that the conductive signal traces 420 take between the three vias 401-403 is shown best in
Signal Trace Breakout From Vias
It is also desirable to control the impedance of the transmission lines in the area in which the traces exit from the vias and continue their transmission path on the circuit board. Problems arise in these exit areas. Previously it was known to attempt to maintain the spacing of the conductive trace pair in symmetrical arrangements around a center line running between the differential signal via pair. This is shown in
Problems will arise when the conductive traces leading from a pair of differential signal vias are staggered so that the traces are either not of equal length, or are not symmetrical in their pattern as a pair. Such a problematic arrangement is illustrated in
As stated above, a large concentration of energy occurs at the pair of vias 609, and in order to recapture this energy, the via exit portions 620 have enlarged width portions, or areas, 621 which are joined to the vias by way of annular collar portions 622. The enlarged width portions 620 are further joined to the via plating 622 with what we describe as "flag" portions 623. These flag portions 623, and in part, the enlarged width portions 621 present more metal plate area to increase the capacitance in the area between the vias where the electrical energy is concentrated. The flag portions 623 give a good 90 degree centerline exit to the beginning of the exit portions.
As shown best in
A ground reference plane 590 is shown superimposed above the trace exit pattern. In this layer of the circuit board, the reference plane 590 and the and the annular collar portions 591 are found. They are shown as located in a layer above the trace exit pattern, but they could also be located in a layer beneath the trace exit pattern. There are two ground vias 593 that are interconnected to the ground plane 590 and they are located at edges of the opening 594 formed in the ground plane that encompasses the two differential signal vias 551. One of the ground vias 593 a is the primary ground via that is associated with the pair of differential signal vias 551, and the other ground via 593 b is one that is associated with the pair of differential signal vias that is to the left and not shown in
In this embodiment, circuit board traces are connected to the differential signal via pair 710. The beginning of the circuit board traces as they exit from the pair 710 of vias includes a wide, flag-like portion 712. These flag portions 712 include a relatively large amount (or width) of conductive material as compared to the width of their final associated circuit board trace. This extra material increases to the size of the "plate" that is defined by the flag portion and increases capacitive coupling between the two traces exiting from the via pair 710. The large size of the flag portion 712 serves to re-establish capacitive coupling between the two traces of the pair 710 of signal vias in the horizontal plane of the circuit board. Previously, capacitive coupling had been established between the two signal vias 710 in the vertical plane along the path of the vias through the circuit board, while these flag portions 712 form a transition of the traces into the horizontal plane. This effectively increases the impedance in this initial transition of the trace exits from the pair of vias 710. The flag portions 712 serve as an initial transition from the vertical plane to the horizontal plane.
The flag portions 712 are preferably evenly sized and are symmetrical in order to provide a constant capacitance therebetween. This symmetry extends along an axis that runs between the pair 710 of vias and between the flag portions 712. This is preferred so as to create an equal path length at the beginning of the exit so as to establish a zero ("0") skew. The flag portions 712 re-establish the coupling in the horizontal plane before the traces "break out" from the vias and continue their circuit paths along the circuit board. The next portions 713 of the circuit traces include the break out area and they are seen best in
A stub portion 713 of the traces can be seen extending out from each flag portion 712 and these stub portions 713 meet and mate with an angled leg portion 714 that extend from the stub portions 713 to locations flanking the ground web 720 separating two adjacent anti-pad areas 704. These angled trace portions 714 then meet with the regular circuit portions 715 of the traces that run parallel to the ground plane intervening web portions 720 that separate the two ground plane openings 704. The circuit trace flag portions 712 and transmission line portions 715 are separated from each other by a common spacing. The ground plane intervening web portion 720 of
The particular style of ground plane opening 704 that is shown in
The ground vias 902 have angled exit portions 910 that lead to straight portions 911 and then lead to thin portions 912. As in the exit structures shown in FIG,. 18B, the thin portions 911 are positioned where the exit traces approach near the signal vias 904 in order to minimize signal to ground coupling of the system near the flag portions of the signal exit structures. The two ground exit traces 912 then join together to form a wide center strip 915 that is aligned with and beneath (in terms of board layers) the signal traces 920. It can be seen in both
While the preferred embodiment of the invention have been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims.

Q. How many gallons of water, on average, are used - both to grow corn used to produce ethanol and in the ethanol plant processes - to produce a single gallon of corn-based ethanol?
W.T. Crenshaw
A. Processing the corn takes an average of 4.5 gallons of water to make 1 gallon of ethanol.
However, figuring the total amount of water it takes to grow the corn here in the Panhandle takes some estimating. The amount of water used to irrigate it depends on rainfall during the growing season. So, based on 24 inches of water applied, and that's on the high side, you have 651,702 gallons per acre. If one acre yields 200 bushels of corn, that's 3,258 gallons of water per bushel.
One bushel of corn makes 2.7 gallons of ethanol, according to the National Corn Grower's Association.
So a high-end estimate for irrigation would be 1,206 gallons of water to grow enough corn to make 1 gallon of ethanol.
"It's a really big number," said Nolan Clark, lab director of the Agriculture Research Service Laboratory at Bushland, who said he had no firm figure for how much water it takes. "We can't afford to pump water to grow all the corn from ethanol. All the models are built on shipping in corn from Iowa or Illinois."

If you are on this page you are likely considering referring yourself to HPSP. Perhaps you have decided it is time to enroll, or perhaps your employer or a treatment provider has strongly recommended that you call us. In any case, welcome. Following is a general description about what happens when you enroll in HPSP. For more specific information, we encourage you to contact us. You may remain anonymous until you have decided to enroll.
Why should I enroll in HPSP?
Whether you meet the statutory requirement to report yourself or whether you have decided to report yourself at an earlier stage in your illness, participation in HPSP means that you do not have to report your illness to your licensing board. Important for your health and your career, your participation helps to ensure long term success in recovery from your illness. HPSP serves persons regulated by the Minnesota health licensing boards as well as some professions regulated by the Department of Health. Click here to see if your profession is eligible for HPSP services.
How do I refer myself?
Call us at (651) 643-2120 and state you would like to enroll. If you have received a letter from HPSP asking you to call us, or if you have received a letter from your licensing board to call us, the process is the same.
What happens when I contact HPSP to enroll?
You will speak to a case manager who will conduct a telephone interview about your situation. At the conclusion of the interview, your case manager will discuss the next steps. For example, you may need a time and location for an assessment to determine if you have a current illness. It may also be necessary to obtain medical records. Enrollment materials and authorization forms for you to complete and return will be sent to you. Rarely, some individuals are not statutorily eligible to participate in monitoring without a board referral. Call us if you would like more information about this.
What information does HPSP collect about me?
During your enrollment interview, your case manager will explain how HPSP, as a government agency, uses the data that is collected about you. In general, but with a few exceptions, we need your written permission to obtain or share information about you. "Confidential monitoring" means that HPSP does not inform the board of your enrollment and participation when you self-refer or are referred by a third party other than your licensing board. However, there are some exceptions which will be explained to you during your enrollment interview or if you call with preliminary questions.
After I enroll in HPSP, then what?
HPSP needs to determine, 1) if you have an illness and 2) whether your illness warrants participation in HPSP monitoring. This determination is made after we receive the necessary assessments and/or medical records. If monitoring is warranted, we will ask you to sign a Participation Agreement explaining the terms of the contract between you and HPSP. The agreement will contain the length of time you will be participating and the terms under which the licensing board would be notified should there be substantial non-compliance. If monitoring is not warranted because we have determined there is not a current illness, your file will be closed, and your licensing board is will usually not be notified. The exception to this is when there is an apparent practice act violation not related to any illness that would obligate us to inform your licensing board.
What is the cost of monitoring?
The cost of HPSP services is free to the participant, because your licensing board pays for our services. You are responsible for the cost of your assessments, treatment, and if required, toxicology screens.
How long do I have to be monitored?
The length of monitoring depends on your diagnosis and can be between 12 and 60 months, with the average being 36 months.
Why does my employer need to know I am in HPSP?
We rely on your work supervisor to let us know how you are doing every quarter via a brief behavioral checklist. The supervisor also notifies us as concerns arise. Employers are given information about your illness on a need-to-know basis.
When should I report myself?
The only way we can determine whether you have an illness that warrants monitoring is to go through our enrollment process.
Am I eligible for HPSP if I am not working in my profession?
As long as you meet program eligibility requirements, your employment status generally does not have an impact on your eligibility.

Man airlifted to hospital after 2-vehicle accident
SUV driver seriously injured, extracted with Jaws of Life
Published: Thursday, December 9, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 8, 2010 at 11:54 p.m.
A man was airlifted to the hospital after two vehicles collided at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday on Shepherd Street in front of the Hendersonville Airport.
A white male driving a green four-door Ford Explorer was traveling east when his SUV crossed the center line, striking a red Ford F550 driven by 49-year-old Leo Rimerez, according to N.C. Highway Trooper Chuck McGraw.
Emergency crews used the Jaws of Life to extract the patient, who suffered serious injuries including a broken leg, from the Explorer. He was airlifted to Mission Hospital in Asheville.
The driver of the F550 and its two occupants were not injured, and there were no other occupants in the Explorer.
Donald Streiz, 83, lives across from the airport and was inside his home at the time of the wreck.
I heard a horrible noise and I thought it was thunder, he said.
The accident shut down both lanes of traffic for more than an hour on Shepherd Street at the airport.
The name of the patient was not released, and McGraw said that charges are pending.
Blue Ridge Fire and Rescue, Henderson County EMS and the Henderson County Rescue Squad also responded to the accident.

Sideburns, Gordie and blogs
How is today's game different from that of years past? John Buccigross says you should grow out those sideburns and tap into your inner Gordie Howe before reading his latest in-game blog.
Editor's Note: As promised, here is Bucci's weekly Mother of All Mailbags. This section of his column appears every Thursday on ESPN.com, while his regular rants and raves appear on Tuesday.
What do you think next year's schedule will look like? Also, do you think the divisions and conferences will change next season? On that topic, I'm sick of hearing about Detroit moving to the Eastern Conference. Don't people realize that if Detroit moves to the East, Chicago would be without its biggest rival? That would also mean Chicago would be the only Original Six team in the West. A big problem in Chicago is the fact we don't play the other Original Six teams. Last season, two of the biggest draws were Toronto and Boston.
Steven Luft
I see no reason to move Detroit to the East. The Central Division is a good travel division for the Red Wings. Their rivalry with the Hawks, which will get heated again now that Chicago is returning to prominence, is another reason. The Ohio-Michigan, Blue Jackets-Red Wings dynamic should be cultivated more; same thing with the Blues and Predators.
The schedule is clearly going to change. There will be fewer division games. Sidney Crosby will visit more rinks. There will be "wild-card" games, which is a euphemism for "games that can get higher television ratings."
As a Habs fan, despite my bias, I think there are a couple of oversights on your future Hall of Fame list.
1. Carey Price. I know it's early, but you've got Erik Johnson, Patrick Kane and Toews on there. Based solely on his exceptional 2006 season -- Calder Cup, Calder Cup MVP, World Junior Championship, WJC MVP -- Price is 5-1-1 in his first seven NHL starts and displays poise beyond his years. He will, barring injury, be in the Hall one day.
2. Saku Koivu. A hockey legend in Finland, he's within the top 25 (will probably finish within the top 15) in scoring in Habs history with 460 points in 569 games. That's especially amazing given he's a playmaker and has never had a bona fide sniper to setup. He's been the Canadiens captain since 1999, Finland's captain since 1998, has beaten cancer and survived several injuries that have no doubt limited his overall points totals. He's won three Olympic medals (two bronze, one silver), a silver at the World Cup of Hockey and a gold and two silver at the World Championships. All of those medals were won when he was either the first or second most important player on the team. By my criteria, he's a lock, but likely will only get in if he manages to win a Stanley Cup.
I agree with you on Carey Price. He certainly has a calmness and talent that indicates he could be a 400-500-win goalie since he is so young. Saku Koivu is a great story, a great man, a great leader. But he's nowhere near a Hockey Hall of Famer.
What do you think about the "delay of game" penalty for shooting the puck over the glass? In the Anaheim-Dallas game on Wednesday night, Dallas was given a two-man advantage for consecutive delay of game penalties and scored two power-play goals. It was clear that the Ducks intention was not to shoot the puck over the glass (Travis Moen shot the puck while falling over, just trying to clear the puck from himself after taking a blocked shot).
Your thoughts?
I have no problem with the rule. I like things to be clear cut. The glass is high enough. It makes the players attempt to clear the puck via the ice. That makes it harder and it favors the offense. The game is too defensive. I'm all in favor of anything that helps the offense. I understand your thinking and there are times that the puck rolls, but I would say train the players to attempt to clear the puck no higher than board level.
Jordan Staal, Sergei Gonchar and Marc-Andre Fleury for Martin Brodeur, John Madden and Jay Pandolfo. Would you do it? As a Devils fan, I say yes.
Gary Carlson
Hey Bucci,
As a lifelong Devils fan, I've got to say no on the Brodeur-Madden-Pandolfo trade idea. The idea is sacrilege to me, like trading Ken Daneyko. I'd rather see the Devils at the bottom of the league for a few years than see Marty in another uniform.
New Jersey
Evgeni Malkin over Dany Heatley in the top 5 "What if ... " free agency list? Preposterous.
Newark, N.J.
I agree. My bad.
As a lifelong Sabres fan, I can't help but think that the current season's troubles could have been prevented some time during last season, when Chris Drury and Daniel Briere were open to contract negotiations. As Phil Collins' "Throwing It All Away" plays over and over in my head, I wanted your take on the demise of the mighty Sabres from 2005 to 2007. Was it management issues? The recurring emphasis on defense in the NHL? Personnel issues? Will this team ever find that level again?
We picked the Sabres to make the playoffs in this space and we are sticking to it. They are not the Sabres of the past two seasons, and won't be. No team would be the same after losing two unique, top-flight talents like Drury and Briere. But that is old news. To quote Rick Pitino, "They are not walking through that door."
So, the Sabres must go back to Sabres hockey with a few tweaks. It starts with Ryan Miller in net. He has to be great. From there, the Sabres have to be a little more careful in their own end than in the past. From there, they need to have the puck more than their opponents. Lastly, they need to have confidence and creativity in the opposition's end. They still have enough speed, skill, scoring, coaching and goaltending to be a good team. It is obvious management will not do them any favors as past actions have shown.
If they Sabres tighten things up a bit and stay healthy, I see no reason they should just finish ahead of Boston, the N.Y. Islanders, New Jersey and Montreal. Just finishing ahead of three of those teams should be enough to make the playoffs.
Do you see a problem where the NHL is headed in terms of the decrease in scoring? And second, how do you solve it (or can it be solved, for that matter)?
Erie, Pa.
I don't think it is a major problem. Intensity, effort, up-and-down skating, electric fan bases, competitiveness, good broadcasters and production elements are crucial for good entertainment. The only way to increase scoring is with a bigger net or with fewer people on the ice. Take a player off the ice on each side and fewer passing and shooting lanes are clogged, allowing for more passing and shooting. I've been an advocate of a slightly larger net to compensate for the bigger and better equipment, larger goalies and greater skill level. More offense produces more offense. Low-scoring games are a product of more defense. High-scoring games are a result of greater risk-taking and more scoring. The heart of hockey is not scoring -- it's competitiveness and degree of difficulty. It should be hard to score. That's part of the joy in scoring a goal. It's difficult. I just think it's too hard right now.
Something to consider about college hockey vs. the NHL; protection of the player from hitting from behind is something we have taken a very strong stance with and the press conference with Patrice Bergeron calling for stricter enforcement reminded me how far we've come.
A few weeks before Bergeron had his press conference, one of our conferences (the CCHA) suspended a player for two games (which are in addition to the one-game suspension the penalty called on the ice required). This effectively took the player out of two weekends of play (the penalty occurred in the first period of a Friday night game).
Two years ago, we had some serious discussion about lessening the penalty and allowing officials some middle ground. The committee decided to take away any doubt and made a strong statement that there is no place for hitting from behind in the game -- regardless of intent, etc. Would love to talk with you on this and hope it might make its way into your column. I also hope the NHL wakes up and takes this kind of thing seriously.
Hope you're doing well and thanks for taking the time to read this.

I would definitely recommend that you check out a British band called Porcupine Tree though. My friends and I (all working musicians) tend to refer to them as the best band nobody has ever heard of. They're amazingly versatile songwriters and musicians. There's a lot of pop sensibility involved, but also a ton of other influences to keep things interesting. They're even touring Sweden as we speak!
Lewisville, Texas
VHS or Beta is dominating my car CD player right now. "Can't Believe a Single Word" and "Bring on the Comets" are two songs I would download right now.
Hi John,
I'm writing to you from the increasingly colder Russia -- it's supposed to be minus-8 Celsius this morning and it's only mid-November! I guess I'm supposed to say something like, "I can't wait for the pond to freeze so that I can lace up my skates and go outside," but the truth is, I can't picture myself giving up three nights of competitive hockey a week in nice arenas with boards and lights for the pleasures of recreational hockey outside.
Ha det bra!
Greetings from Moscow,
Ha det bra is Swedish for "take care." Do not give up your inside play, my Russian brutha. Playing hockey without your lungs freezing is a good thing. But you must get outside a few times! After an outdoor skate in the open air, the hot cocoa tastes better, the game looks better on TV and life itself is better. The shorter the walk from the ice to the fireplace is also highly recommended.
Is the Central Division the strongest in the NHL right now? Can the teams keep it up the entire season?
John L.
Bloomingdale, Mich.
The Central and Atlantic are my picks for the two deepest divisions, but it's not by much. The talent is spread out pretty evenly right now.
Hi Bucci,
I just had to write after reading all the positive comments about the NHL Network last week. I am really frustrated. I live in Colorado and I pay for NHL Center Ice so I can watch my favorite team (Red Wings), along with checking out other teams around the league. Last week, I got home after a long day of work, expecting to watch the Predators/Red Wings game, only to find out I couldn't get it because it was on the NHL Network. My cable system is not carrying that channel. Tonight, I wanted to watch Edmonton and Vancouver and I have the same situation. I am irritated because I pay a lot of money for Center Ice and now I can't watch all the games that I would like because of the NHL Network.
Thanks for letting me vent,
Caitlin Magee
If the NHL is taking games off of the Center Ice package and putting them on the NHL Network as a way to get people to call and complain about getting the NHL Network, then it should reimburse you for every game they take off. That's bush league. The NHL should not practice anything that ticks off its loyal fan base that has been through two lockouts and astronomical ticket-price hikes.
I'll start by saying I need to pick up "Jonesy" (please insert your plug here). The idea of you and Jonesy together is just gold.
You can stop there. By the way, Flyers broadcaster, 610 WIP-AM personality and Versus analyst Keith Jones will be appearing at the Barnes and Noble in Deptford, N.J., to sign copies of his book, "Jonesy."
Keith will be at the store from 12-2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 1. Buy many copies for you and your friends for the holidays. Let's make "Jonesy" (currently the No. 1 hockey book on Amazon.com thanks to YOU) the No. 1 sports book! Also, send your e-mails in to "Jonesy" for next Tuesday's column. Ask him about the book or any other topic.
I finally talked my uncle into sacrificing his tennis court so my cousins and I can have a backyard rink this year, but he still thinks the notoriously unstable Pittsburgh weather will ruin our ice, if it even freezes. Can you convince him otherwise or should we quit while we're ahead?
Jennie L.
Pittsburgh might not be the best climate for a backyard rink. The key is to have a lot of trees to provide enough shade to help keep the ice firm on those sunny days. Wet snow and sleet is the enemy of outdoor ice. But just five skates outside makes it all worth it to me. It's even up in the air in Connecticut; some years, we've had three skates and others we've had 30.
Attached you will find a picture of daughter Kira. Note the far-away, sad, dispirited look in her eye. Yup, she's ready for life as a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. Can anything be done with this team? I'm at the end of my 30-plus years of patience. Sure, the first 25 were bad enough, but the last five have just been insult to injury.
Hope all is well,
Brendan Christie

At Finley's Pain Clinic, we do everything we can to treat and manage patient's pain that affects their daily life. While there isn't a cure for pain, we provide hope for patients seeking pain relief.
Patients who suffer from pain that is recurring, lasting 6 to 8 weeks, may be a candidate for a referral to the Pain Clinic. Treatment of pain caused by neuropathic diseases and injuries is analyzed at the Pain Clinic and then further reviewed by a physician for follow up care and procedures.

Because chronic pain is a complex problem, we take a multidisciplinary approach in developing patient treatment plans, which includes medical management of pain and a variety of minimally invasive procedures.
The Pain Clinic treats a multitude of pain types, including:
• Back Pain
• Shingles
• Compression Fractures
• Disc Herniation/ Fissures
• Neck Pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Spinal Stenosis
• Knee Pain
• Shoulder Pain
• Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome
• Sciatica
• Diabetic Nerve Pain
There are a variety of ways to treat pain. Some pain can be controlled more efficiently through our minimally invasive procedures. The procedures offered at the Pain Clinic include:
• Diagnostic Discography in Cervical, Lumbar and Thoracic body regions
• Epidural Steroid Injections in Cervical, Lumbar and Thoracic body regions
• Facet and joint medicine injections
• Intrathecal Drug Delivery Systems (refills only offered)
• Kyphoplasty

Individuals suffering from pain may benefit from the services provided at the Pain Clinic. Pain that is recurring, lasting 6 to 8 weeks, from an injury, surgery, or other health condition may see pain relief or increased functioning as a result of treatment.
Achieving patient goals and improvements is important to us. We hope to: reduce your pain and its severity, increase your activities at home and work, and improve your quality of life.
The Pain Clinic works on a referral basis. Notification from a qualified physician is required before consultations, treatments and procedures may begin at the Pain Clinic.
You will be contacted by the care team at the Pain Clinic several days before your appointment. They will provide you with information to prepare for your visit at the Pain Clinic. As the care team prepares for your visit please remember to follow these standard guidelines.

Training in the US
At the Florida Handcenter Dr. Charles Eaton, NA pioneer in the USA, used to introduce doctors to needle aponeurotomy. Unfortunately Dr. Eaton doesn't practise anymore. We are not sure whether all of his visitors afterwards actually provide NA but it might be worth asking them. They are listed above at the links "Eaton trained ...".
Training in France
A list of doctors who received training in France by the inventors of NA, i.e. by the French "Association pour l'etude et le traitement non-chirurgical de la maladie de Dupuytren", is provided on list_NA. This list naturally includes many doctors in France but some also from a variety of other European and non-European countries.
This list is based on a list that originally Susan (posting as SuzieQ) had compiled and maintained for years on the forum. This is a good place to thank her for her important contributions!

For the past couple of days, I have been working on changing the layout of my site and how it functions. Before, I used a completely different design than what WP provides. This time, I used some of the same layout features as the original WP index.php file, but made it my own.
Check it out -- ProjecTech.Net
Also, please give me some feedback. Thanks


text: I've been using SlideDeck for WordPress plugin but I saw this plugin and that it's responsive so I installed it. And now I'm confused. How do I create a simple slidedeck where I can insert what I want into the slides? Pictures from my Media Gallery, for example. Like I can with SlideDeck for WordPress.

Collections.swap(list, i, midPoint);
int newPoint = midPoint2/2;
midPoint2 = newPoint;
Okay, so I'm quite new to idea of recursion and right now, all I'm getting is an infinite loop. So in the first method, I wanted to analyse to the array by dividing it in half, and and compare the first element of the first half of the array with the first element of the second half of the array, and if the second element was bigger, then swap And that's all working fine, it's doing exactly what I want it to do. [3, 5, 8, 2, 1, 7, 6, 4] [3, 7, 8, 4, 1, 5, 6, 2] The next step I want to take is I just want to half the elements i'm working on. So in the first instance, I wanted to half the number of elements i'm working, so instead of 0-list.size, i want it to work on 0-list.size()/2, so it will only swap the first four numbers, and then do it again, on 2 numbers until the mid point becomes one. Just a little insight on how I could achieve that would be great. And no, not homework.

Day 1 | Day 2 | Download Agenda
The fact that cancer cells have an altered glucose metabolism, has sparked new interested in the pharmaceutical industry in it's continuous quest of finding new ways to target tumors. Reversing the increased glucose consumption in cancer cells is an important step and has great potential for therapeutic drug developments. This meeting is designed to shed light on current strategies of how to change the metabolism in cancer cells and the resulting opportunities for developing new molecular drug targets.
7:00 am Conference Registration and Morning Coffee
8:30 Chairperson's Opening Remarks
Novel Targets
8:40 Malic Enzyme 2 (ME2) as a Novel Cancer Metabolic Target
Vikas Sukhatme, Professor, Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School
We have discovered that ME2 is widely overexpressed in a number of tumor types. Its inhibition can decrease tumor growth and induce differentiation in vitro and in vivo.
9:10 Targeting Atypical Glucose Transporter Regulation in Multiple Myeloma with HIV Protease Inhibitors
Mala Shanmugam, Ph.D., Research Assistant Professor , Robert H.Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, Northwestern University
Tumor cells, including the fatal B cell malignancy multiple myeloma, consume surprisingly high amounts of glucose. While elevated glucose utilization forms the basis for clinical imaging of various cancers, we are not yet able to target glucose utilization for therapy. We have identified a subset of glucose transporters (GLUTs) that are uniquely regulated in myeloma including the insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4, providing targeting opportunities selective to these tumor cells. In addition we have identified an FDA approved HIV protease inhibitor that has an off-target effect on GLUT4, warranting repositioning of this class of compounds for the treatment of GLUT4-dependent cancers. Our studies range from target identification, in vitro cell line validation and ex vivo pre-clinical studies in myeloma patient samples providing novel approaches to treat this incurable cancer.
9:40 Targeting Carbonic Anydrases IX and XII, Regulators of Cellular pH in Hypoxia
Shoukat Dedhar, Ph.D., Professor, Distinguished Scientist, University of British Columbia and BC Cancer Research Centre, Vancouver
Carbonic Anhydrase IX ( CAIX) is a hypoxia inducible protein that regulates intra- and extra-cellular pH under hypoxic conditions and promotes tumor cell survival and invasion in hypoxic microenvironments. CAIX is specifically expressed in aggressive triple-negative and basal type breast tumors and is a poor patient prognostic marker. We have targeted CAIX with novel small molecule inhibitors and have shown that CAIX inhibitions results in significant growth delay of orthotopic breast tumors, and also in significant inhibition of lung metastasis formation. New data on the role of CAIX in cancer stem cells will be discussed.
10:10 Grand Opening Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing
Glycolysis and the Warburg Effect
10:40 Talk Title to be Announced
Kate Yen, Ph.D., Associate Director, Biology, Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
11:10 Sponsored Presentations (Opportunities Available)
11:40 Targeting the Warburg Effect by Synthetic Lethality
Ray Tabibiazar, M.D., CEO, Ruga Corporation
Paul Pearson, Ph.D., VP, Pre-Clinical Development, Ruga Corporation
Identifying new molecular targeted therapies that specifically kill tumor cells while sparing normal tissue is the next major challenge of cancer research. We describe here strategies to target the Warburg Effect in a genetically defined patient population by utilizing synthetic lethality.
12:10 pm Interfering with Cancer Cell Signaling
Speaker to be Announced
Sponsored by 12:40 Luncheon Presentation
tONCO™: Taconic's Innovative Portfolio of Tools and Capabilities to Evaluate the Efficacy of Novel Cancer TherapeuticsDavid S. Grass, Ph.D., Vice President, Scientific Operations, TaconicTaconic's tONCO™ Platform encompasses several tools and services designed to facilitate the preclinical assessment of novel cancer therapeutics. Among the approaches, an in vivo and ex vivo bioluminescent imaging platform to evaluate compound efficacy has been developed. In these mouse models, xenograft orthotopic tumor grafts are being used that are more relevant with respect to host-tumor interactions, display metastatic potential and allow the evaluation of responses to novel therapeutics. These models take advantage of Taconic's extensive suite of immunodeficient mouse strains and allow for the quantitative analysis and high throughput in vivo assessment of potential anti-tumor and anti metastatic activity.
2:20 Chairperson's Remarks
2:25 Conserved Features of Cancer Cells Define their Sensitivity of HAMLET-Induced Death; C-Myc and the Warburg Effect
Petter Storm, Scientist, Laboratory Medicine, Microbiology, Immunology and Glycobiology (MIG), Lund University
HAMLET is the first member of a new family of tumoricidal protein-lipid complexes, and has shown great promise as a human drug candidate, with therapeutic efficacy against skin papillomas and rapid topical effects on human bladder cancers. The results of our research identify HAMLET as a novel anti-cancer agent that exploits unifying features of cancer cells for its activity, including c-Myc and the shift in glycolysis known as the ''Warburg effect''.
2:55 Targeting Mitochondria for Cancer Therapy :Role of Mitochondrial Hexokinase in Prevention of Apoptosis
Charles Wenner, Ph.D., Member, Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Roswell Park Cancer Institute
Description-Historical perspective of the Warburg Effect with emphasis on modulation of high glycolytic rates in rapidly growing tumor cells for therapy. The need for a re-examination of the specific contributions of mitochondrial hexokinases and glucose metabolism is discussed in view of demonstrations that these hexokinases can antagonize apoptosis downstream of Bax activation despite metabolic disruption which suggests that metabolism per se is not obligatory for this process. These findings suggest that new approaches of targeting apoptotic susceptibility may be conceived.
3:25 Networking Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing
4:05 Development of Chemical Probes to Study Cancer Metabolic Reprogramming
Sergey A. Kozmin, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Chemistry, University of Chicago
Understanding of the nature of reprogrammed energy metabolism in cancer cells is of significant current interest. We will describe the development of an arsenal of new small-molecule probes to study altered energy metabolism in cancer. This study is aimed at identifying the underlying reasons for major alterations in energy producing pathways employed by rapidly proliferating cells and testing the possibility of targeting such cells in vitro and in vivo.
4:35 Potent Anti-Cancer Lipoate Analogs Selectively Attack Tumor Cell Mitochondrial Metabolism
Paul Bingham, Ph.D., Vice President, Research, Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals
Among the enzymes whose regulation is reprogrammed in many tumor cells is the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH). The lipoate moieties of PDH serve both catalytic and regulatory function. Non-redox active lipoate analogs apparently attack cancers-specific elements of this lipoate-sensitive regulatory apparatus, causing cancer cell death in cell culture and in human tumor xenograft models.

"I'm not a high-end hifi guy, but I own a few pairs of headphones and earbuds so I'm capable of telling my experience. The Carbo Tenore has a generally dark sound signature, but that doesn't mean anything sounds recessed. They have decent bass as BAs, the high is not sibilant, the mid is good.
