Nvidia Releases 306.97 WHQL Driver
On October 10th of 2012, Nvidia released their latest WHQL-certified drivers, version 306.97. With the arrival of the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, the company released its latest drivers so users can use their new cards with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 8, 7 and Vista. Version 304.xx and 306.xx drivers offer many 3D Vision and SLI profile updates, with support for TXAA, a new film-style antialiasing method, support for AA and ambient occlusion via the Nvidia Control Panel in many new major titles, and three new bug-fixes that are worth mentioning: one that fixes vsync framerate issues with the GTX 600 series, another that fixes performance issues in Total War: Shotgun 2 and a third that prevented some factory overclocked cards from running at their full speed. Driver updates are almost always recommended, except in the case of pre-release versions which offer many bugs and unrefined code. Installing new driver versions insures your system will run more efficiently, faster and more secure. The update is now available from the official Nvidia website. More information can be found here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7-winvista-32bit-306.97-whql-driver.html

The following description of the somewhat rambling thought process and early steps I take when planning a vacation to Belize may be a helpful to guide you through decision making for a multi-destination trip as you research and plan your own itineraries.
This is my fourth trip to Belize and my first trip back since 2005. A person planning their first trip would likely be looking at much different options, probably what is called Surf and Turf in Belize. A mixture of a beach or diving vacation (surf) combined with a land adventure and/or cultural exploration (turf). My first trip was a 2 night jungle lodge stay at the ruins of Tikal and a 7 or 8 night stay hanging around on Ambergris Caye. Read more

Spinach Tortelloni with Leeks and Gorgonzola
Almost before I've realised it, we've come to the end of my year in the kitchen. It started off, as I recall, in the frosts of early March 2006 using up the last of the leeks lingering in the kitchen garden. Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise that we have been doing just that this week – albeit having to brave the mud rather than the frost this time. The kitchen garden has been a revelation this year, with a gold medal going to our peach and apricot trees, which finally came into their own with a vengeance. We are still enjoying our jams and jellies, with stacks of jars still in the larder to see us through to next summer. The soft fruits, too, deserve a special mention, ensuring the freezer is still well-stocked with gooseberry pies, summer fruit crumbles and blackcurrant ice cream. Our football team, alas, has not been a revelation over the past year, alternatively offering us glimmers of hope interspersed with agonies of anxiety (how many football fans would recognise that!). It has been particularly nerve-wracking of late as we seemed to be drawn ever closer to the relegation zone. Without in any sense giving up hope, I devised this recipe as my 'after-the-match-if-we've-lost' comfort supper. It is truly lovely and, I can promise, it can be on the table inside 10 minutes – just perfect in case there's a long miserable journey home. However I can finish these diaries on a more optimistic note, because last night we did have a long journey home from our game at Luton. But it wasn't miserable at all – it was wonderful. Having gone behind twice, we finally won the game in the final minutes with an exquisite free-kick. Life is great sometimes!
Serves 4
|300g pack fresh spinach and ricotta tortelloni (Tesco or Sainsbury's)
|2 medium leeks, cleaned, cut in half lengthways and chopped small
|200g Gorgonzola Piccante, cut into cubes
|200ml tub half-fat crème fraîche
|whole nutmeg, for grating
|1 heaped tablespoon dried breadcrumbs (Waitrose Cooks' Ingredients) or 1 heaped tablespoon dried ciabatta breadcrumbs (Tesco Finest)
|1 heaped tablespoon fresh ready-grated Parmesan
|Need help with conversions?
|You'll also need a medium-sized heatproof gratin dish.
First, in a wide pan, heat the crème fraîche, then add the leeks along with a good seasoning of salt and pepper. Keep the heat low and let them cook gently for about 5 minutes without a lid. Meanwhile pre-heat the grill and fill a saucepan with 1.5 litres of very hot water, add a few drops of oil and some salt and bring it up to the boil. Now give the leeks a stir and grate in the nutmeg, and when they're tender remove them from the heat. When the water bubbles, add the tortelloni and time it to cook for 2 minutes.
After that drain it quickly in a colander, then leaving some of the water clinging to it tip it into the saucepan to join the leeks. Give it all a good stir, then using a spatula, spoon it all into the gratin dish, stirring in half the gorgonzola and scattering the rest on top.
To finish off mix the ciabatta breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan together then sprinkle this all over, whack it under the grill (about 3 inches from the heat) and give it about 1½ minutes, or until the crumbs have become brown and crisp. A leafy salad with raw strips of fennel and a lemon dressing would be the ideal accompaniment.

IN a conventional shower, when you get the grout saturated, it wicks into the mudbed which is quite porous if done right. If it is used often enough, that moisture can accumulate until there's enough to cause it to run to the weep holes.
In a surface membrane shower like Kerdi, moisture can still penetrate the grout joint, but thinset is thinner and denser than a mudbed, so it doesn't tend to penetrate as far or as fast. Plus, if the thinset is embedded into the fleece on the Kerdi, and its depth is within normal standards, it doesn't tend to go that far.
Keep in mind that unless you've got a porous tile that can absorb a fair amount of water, the only path to the membrane is through the grout joints. If it can't be drawn further into something like the mudbed, the only place for it to go is back up and out. The moisture wants to dissipate, that's primarily up with a membrane, but can go both directions when there's a mudbed - then throw in gravity, and it may tend to go down more than up. Conceptually, I don't see it spreading under the tile much in a membrane situation, but could easily see that happening in the porous mudbed.
When you throw in the fact that we're talking miniscule amounts of water per shower being absorbed, without the sponge of a mudbed beneath to direct it down and potentially accumulate, it doesn't tend to happen with a membrane (given good workmanship - good thinset coverage, full grout joints, proper slope).

"They go for the first down a little bit more in our league. They put their head down and go, and sometimes you still can't stop them because they're so strong. That's that I-95, D.C., Jersey … mentality."
The D.C.-to-Boston corridor has been Notre Dame's recruiting wheelhouse throughout Brey's 13 seasons, and that's unlikely to change. But with ACC membership, Solomon hopes the Irish can begin targeting states such as Virginia, Georgia and North Carolina.
Early Saturday afternoon, in fact, Solomon left Hampton to scout an undisclosed prospect elsewhere in Virginia.
"Starting in the fall, as soon as we made the (ACC) announcement, Slo actually made some Carolina and Georgia trips, and I think we have to look at that," Brey said, using Solomon's nickname. "We've not been confident recruiters in that region. We just didn't want to waste time. …
"I'm (also) intrigued to see what it does in the Big Ten footprint. I've battled the Big Ten my whole career out there. Any kid in the Midwest you recruit, they're in the Big Ten world. Two of them we got on the rebound, Scott Martin (transferred from Purdue) and Garrick Sherman (transferred from Michigan State), I couldn't get them out of (high school).
"Now that we have the ACC to offer and we're still an hour-and-a half from their home, or two hours, I think we can have more juice in the Midwest. We've been on a great roll in Indiana (with three signees for next season)."
Big East colleagues Syracuse and Pittsburgh join Notre Dame as ACC rookies in 2013-14, and a year later, reigning national champion Louisville will arrive to replace Big Ten-bound Maryland. Wisely, ACC officials want to acquaint fans of the new schools with the league's basketball bell cows, as next season's schedule reflects.
"How spoiled are our fans?" Brey said. "The first year we have Carolina and Duke and N.C. State all coming to our building. We had about 400 calls to the ticket office (Tuesday) when that was announced. …
"I told our staff, 'Look at the cities we're in next year. We're in Miami, we're in Atlanta, we're in D.C., we're going to be in New York playing Ohio State in the Garden, we're in Boston. We have got it covered in a corridor that's great for our alumni base and fan base."
Brey's assistants are compiling 30-minute scouting tapes on their new ACC rivals, and this summer the staff will begin analyzing them. Breaking down tendencies in a dark room doesn't rate with playing golf at the beach, but Brey's enthusiasm for the task and the move to the ACC are visible and audible.
"I never thought I'd be coaching in this league at Notre Dame," he said. "I've always had a special love for the ACC."

Racism in advertising: A sick flag over America?
July 8, 2008
The Race Cards. Can you spot the ad?
What to make of the new Six Flags campaign? You don't need to go far to get an opinion. Go online or ask anyone who's seen it. It's polarizing work.
The ads feature a rowdy young Asian, who loudly interrupts uber-lame scenes yelling "One flag! No Fun!" At subsequent images of an exciting park ride, he returns, exhorting: "Six flags! More Fun!" Each spot is more or less the same. Crap activity gets a low flag. Park rides get six. It's not a bad idea. Using the park icon as a rating system for summer fun (or lack thereof) is solid. And if not for the blatant stereotyping (Chinese? Japanese? Korean?), I'd give the concept four or five flags.
But there's the matter of the screaming Asian. On a base level, he's what makes the spots stand out. But like Al Jolson, belting out tunes in black face, the man feels drawn from something pernicious -World War II propaganda. He's Charlie. Or the Chinese Dry Cleaner. Would these spots deliver without the exaggerated caricature? I'm sure the agency looked at countless guys. And I'm sure he was the funniest. Regardless, using him in that way was, in my opinion, wrong.
But am I wrong? When Krusty the Clown resorts to aping a Chinese waiter to get laughs, is that permissible use of the stereotype? In this case, it's satire. Krusty is a desperate buffoon. The audience (us and his) loves to hate him. Like Archie Bunker, this lovable loser teaches us a lesson about the human condition and our character defects. Or not. Sometimes I just think Krusty is one hilarious bastard. Going full circle, how come Jolson got no leeway here? Is it because he was advocating racism with his performance?
In any event, it's pretty clear advertising does not have the same freedom to offend as entertainment. Since we are not choosing to watch the Six Flags commercial, we are offended to have this material thrust into our living rooms.
Remember the hullabaloo over the maybe homophobic Snickers commercial aired during the Super Bowl? If that bit played on a Fox sitcom it probably wouldn't have gotten a laugh. As a TV commercial, on the big stage, it became a cause celebre.
Finally, even the creators of content operate and are judged by different standards. Would the "Funny Asian Guy" draw as much negative publicity (in our industry, anyway) if he were a Crispin Porter creation? The Burger King creeps a lot of people out and baiting stereotypes is just one of the reasons why. "Wake up with the King" was a campaign that clearly pushed homophobia buttons in young men. But instead of wanting him off the air ASAP, we accept the Burger King as a perverted, sadistic weirdo.
So why not the Funny Asian Guy? Maybe it's all too subjective to have a legitimate debate. Of hard-core pornography, Potter Stewart shunned an actual definition: "I know it when I see it," he famously said.
I kind of feel that way about the Funny Asian Guy.

OIA Shifts Hub Proposal Into Gear
The $200 million transportation hub would be the first part of the planned south terminal
Officials at Orlando International Airport are preparing to move ahead with the construction of a transportation hub, the first piece of a long-awaited south terminal complex.
The facility, which will include buses, taxis, resort shuttles such as Disney's Magical Express and potentially rail, is estimated to cost at least $200 million.
Eventually, the hub may also include a hotel and conference center if the airport can find outside developers to build those aspects of the project.
Airport officials say building the transportation hub is the next logical step in the airport's future and a move that could buy them more time before launching construction on a new multibillion-dollar terminal, because the hub would free up space in the existing terminal. But some who do business with the airport are worried about the impact.
Craig Mateer -- president of BAGS Inc., a company that transports passengers' luggage between the airport and Walt Disney World, other hotels and cruise terminals -- says he has some concerns.
"We've got to go through the details," he said. "I think there's a lot of issues with this," but he declined to be more specific.
Airport Executive Director Steve Gardner said he was confident any concerns would be resolved.
"You work these things out," he said.
The facility would precede a long-planned south terminal, for which the final design was unveiled Wednesday. Plans call for a 24-gate, 2.2 million-square-foot terminal with lots of skylights and a central garden.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
Staff Writer
Blethen Maine Newspapers and the investment group that is seeking to buy the company's properties have ended an agreement that gave the group exclusive negotiating rights.
Maine Media Investment LLC initiated the termination of the deal, which was announced at the end of July. Blethen Maine agreed, which allows the company to talk with other potential suitors to buy the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram, the Kennebec Journal, the Waterville Sentinel and its other Maine properties.
Richard Connor, one of four principals in Maine Media Investment, said his group is still bullish on the Blethen Maine properties and continues to work toward a purchase.
''What it does is, it really allows the sellers and the prospective buyers more time to try to work toward purchase of the Blethen Maine Newspapers,'' said Connor.
Connor's partners are William S. Cohen, a former U.S. senator and secretary of defense; Robert Baldacci, brother of Maine Gov. John Baldacci; and developer Michael Liberty.
Connor said the deal was taking longer than anticipated, and certain benchmarks set out under the letter of intent -- a legally binding document -- could not be met. Those benchmarks largely involved due diligence, Connor said.
''It's not from a lack of hard work and cooperation on all fronts -- management, unions, owners,'' said Connor. ''It's just we set some time frames that I would take the blame for -- unrealistic in terms of us being able to process lots of information and make the best decision for my investors.''
Connor said his group is concerned that it might now have to go head to head with another bidder.
Press Herald Publisher Charles Cochrane said other groups were interested in the newspapers and visited Maine before the company entered into the letter of intent with Maine Media. He declined to name any of the groups.
''I still see us as the lead contenders to make an offer,'' said Connor. ''I can't say we're the lead contenders to buy it, but we're the lead contenders to make a viable offer. I still see us as being in a great position.''
Asked about when his group might put forward a deal for the papers, Connor said he and his partners ''certainly aren't thinking beyond the end of the year.
''The situation is this fluid: We might make a final offer prior to deadlines we had set,'' he said. ''It's possible we may do something before we would have had to do it.''
Connor said the group likes what it has seen.
''We like the people we've met, we like the union leadership,'' he said.
The investment group met with leadership from the Portland Newspaper Guild on Monday, according to union Vice President Greg Kesich, an editorial writer for the Press Herald/Telegram.
Kesich said the union, which represents about 350 workers at the Press Herald and the Morning Sentinel, and the investment group had not yet discussed potential contract negotiations.
''Our understanding is they're looking for changes in the contract, and I think it's been pretty clear that we've said we're ready to talk about that,'' said Kesich.
He said union leadership still has meetings scheduled with Maine Media, including one next week.
Kesich also called the termination of the exclusivity agreement a disappointment.
''It's a setback; we understood that this is a very volatile time in the newspaper industry and that this thing would not go perfectly smoothly,'' said Kesich. ''I wouldn't say it's a surprise.''
Cochrane said the company hopes that Media Maine will be able to put together a deal.
''The (Blethen) family still feels that the local ownership group -- this group -- would be the preferred option for the community, readers and employees,'' said Cochrane.
Last week, the Portland Newspaper Guild asked a federal judge to deny a recent request made by Blethen Maine Newspapers seeking a declaratory judgment in an ongoing lawsuit between the company and the union.
The guild's latest filing claims that the federal court lacks the authority to rule on the matter, repeating a position made in previous court documents.
The guild's response was the latest move in a lawsuit filed in June by the company. At issue is whether a new owner would have to honor the labor contract signed by the company and the guild last fall. Blethen Maine Newspapers argues that no legal obligation exists; the guild says it does.

Women's Surgeries
Many gynecological conditions can be treated successfully using the da Vinci, such as treating infertility and endometriosis. Also, surgery aided by the da Vinci is a good option for pelvic floor repair, reverse tubal ligation and hysterectomy. However, the decision to perform gynecological surgery assisted by the da Vinci depends on the specifics of each woman's problem and her doctor's recommendation.
Urologic Surgeries
The da Vinci prostatectomy is the number one choice for treatment of localized prostate cancer in the United States. Surgeons use the precision, vision and control provided by the da Vinci to assist them in removing the cancerous prostate with minimal blood loss while preserving important nerves that control urinary function. Additionally, the da Vinci is used in the treatment of kidney cancer, specifically the precise removal of tumors and kidney reconstruction.

KU made some headlines they would rather not read Thursday morning.
Shooting a near decade worst 29.5 percent, #5 KU lost to TCU, 62-55 Wednesday night in Fort Worth. The Horned Frogs were previously winless in the Big 12 Conference.
"It's not a bad loss, it's an unbelievably bad loss," Bill Self told CBS Sports after the game. "Everyone now thinks they can whip us."
TCU was winless in the Big 12 before tonight's game, ranking 344th nationally in scoring average. Of the Horned Frogs eight losses previously, seven of them were by double digits.
Garlon Greene led the way for TCU with 20 points. Three players for Kansas scored in double figures, including Ben McLemore leading the way with 15 points.
Kansas scored only 13 points at halftime, their worst first half scoring output since 1998 vs. Iowa State when they scored 18. They were held scoreless for the first seven and a half minutes.
TCU led by as many as 14 points in the second half, their largest lead of the game.
Kansas cut the game to four points late but cold shooting plagued them all night. Elijah Johnson didn't hit a bucket until nearly three minutes left in the game. He finished with eight points before fouling out. Travis Releford fouled out scoring only one point.
Naadir Tharpe scored 11 points and started the rally for the Jayhawks but couldn't help Kansas near 14 percent, 3-point shooting percent against TCU.
Kansas travels to Oklahoma Saturday to try and regain a foothold on the Big 12 Standings.

I'm a little confused also. I see a tub & shower faucet and I see a thermostatic tub/shower valve. Are a faucet and a valve the same thing?
I'm a little confused by all the many options, and I'm not sure I've accounted for everything I need to order for my new shower! I'm putting in:
Delta Victorian Monitor 17 Series Tub & Shower Faucet T17455 Chrome
Delta Victorian Shower Mount Handshower - Model #: 54513 Chrome
Delta Thermostatic Tub or Shower Valve R10000-UNBX
I suspect I need a diverter in there somewhere, but I don't want the huge fancy set with the body sprays...just an optional hand shower. I'm only interested in running one or the other too, not both at the same time.
I'm a little confused also. I see a tub & shower faucet and I see a thermostatic tub/shower valve. Are a faucet and a valve the same thing?
well I know the faucet is basically just trim except for the cartridge which in this case is 2 function for temp and pressure. The valve is what brings it all together I think. The one I have I believe is multifunction (although i could be wrong!) and would work with a single, dual, or thermostatic functioning cartridge.
I'm not sure though if I need a separate diverter though? The picture makes it look like it has 2 ports, which could be all I need, but I'm just not sure!
You can buy kits that contain the trim and the guts (called the rough-in valve). On some Delta rough-in valves (from what I seem to remember) you have a choice of several cartridges that go into the rough-in valve body - for example, you may use a thermostatic cartridge, or a pressure balanced one. You must choose trim that fits both the rough-in valve AND the cartridge you choose.
Some places sell the complete kit, but a plumbing supply house likely sells the pieces as mix and match.
So, basically, you need three things:
- rough-in
- cartridge (may come with rough-in)
- trim
If you need to divert the water from one device to the other (say the tub spout to the showerhead), you have a choice of either using a tub spout with a built-in divertor (they don't all come this way), OR, buying an additional divertor valve. Those can be confusing in and of themselves, as they can be purchased to control multiple items, and various combinations of things. You need to decide what thing(s) you want to get water simulaneously. The more combinations, the more complicated, the more expensive.
Depending on the brand and style, some rough-in valves may have an internal divertor function as well.
Didn't answer your question directly, but this should help in trying to decipher what you are looking at.
Jim DeBruycker
Important note - I'm not a pro
Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
The simplest way to do it is to have a diverter on the shower arm with the head and handheld attached to it.

Upon the request of my parents, I have decided to move back to Texas, to my home town, where I spent the first 18 years of my life. I have not lived in Texas, ever since I went off to college, and I did not really intend to move back. But my parents are getting older, and my father is suffering from a couple of disabilities now. I have decided to move home to help my mother out, and I would like to look into wharton reliant energy prices for their electricity.
That is the energy company that my parents are currently getting their electricity from. I assume that they provide energy at a competitive price, simply because my father is a very frugal man, and he is unwilling to spend more than necessary. That applies to pretty much every aspect of life. ( Read more )

Hello! I'm pretty new to the tea world. I fell in love with loose leaf tea fairly recently and started learning everything I could about it…now I work at a tea store and have discovered I am a) totally nutters about tea and b) will never know as much as I want to about it, which is everything. I am on a quest to figure out the meaning of very good tea, from very humble beginnings.

Mastodon Most of uggs and the women use these Puma funky
Most of uggs and the women use these Puma funky
discount uggs But here's the problem: these boots are almost as expensive as those by Isabel Marant and even harder to track down. Plus it helps to have long lean goldentanned legs if you're going to wear them with a shortish summery dress. So I shall continue to admire them from afar while keeping my pale English limbs hidden in last year's M plumcoloured wellies. Most dramatically Obama has shown his dominance acrosstheboard in the. Young Obama activists are directly engaging with local senior citizens. The broad ethnic diversity is a notable characteristic of cheap uggs boots and these new volunteers.
ugg boots uk Puma men's speed cat shoes are specially designed for sporty men and these shoes provide men ultragrip control and comfortable. Puma women funky eco shoes are the fast moving well known shoes these shoes are made with advanced moisture transfer technology. Most of uggs and the women use these Puma funky eco shoes for various sports events. N "When a branch is cut back to a lateral not more than onequarter of ugg and its leaf surface should be removed. The remaining lateral should be large enough to assume apical dominance." In other words cutting back to a new leader will suppress (a hormonal thing) excessive sprouting. Hatracking will result in a mess of uggs boots and new buds sprouting and a weaker tree structure..
Synopsis: Meet Tomokazu Mikuri: Typical highschool freshman certifiable loser and selfadmitted pervert. Just an ordinary unmotivated slacker. But when he falls asleep on the eve of uggs boot and his 16th birthday things start to change in a big way! He enters a fantastical dream world (ugg boots outlet - View More) where he's surrounded by a gaggle of uggs boots and gorgeous girls oodles of uggs boot and otherworldly predators and an everincreasing influx of uggs boot and allout weirdness! (Did we mention all the gorgeous girls?) It's a test of uggs boots outlet and good versus evil real world versus dream world and lots of uggs boots outlet and actionpacked scantily clad battles for the very survival of ugg and mankind! Will Tomokazu save the world? Will he finally get lucky? Or will he just die trying? The answer is right here in the funny freaky Yumeria Collection!.
But the situation might not be as disheartening for women as they seem to think argues Jan Anderson of uggs boots and the University of uggs boots outlet and East Anglia who worked on the survey. Fewer women than men in the survey felt that their departments valued their contributions and fewer of cheap uggs boots and them signed up to speak at conferences also viewed as a good way to bolster a promotion bid. But the results show that women are good at getting jobs when they go for them UGG at http://boiseurbanmarket.com/kid-s-ugg-boots.html so perhaps their very sense of uggs and adversity is one of cheap uggs boots and the things holding them back..

About the Expert
Hi. My name is Tanya Marie, and I'm a makeup artist. Today, I'm going to show you how to apply eye makeup to last all day. The tools you'll need are your concealer brush, an eye shadow brush and a smaller eye shadow brush, and also you'll need your concealer, a lighter colored eye shadow, and a more natural eye shadow. The first step is you get your concealer and concealer brush, and you dab just a little bit, and you're going to apply from the interior, just dabbing in here on both sides, and you want to blend that in. Your concealer helps the eye shadow stick to your eyelids. Next step, you use your eye shadow brush and your lighter eye shadow, and start from the interior of your eye. This is your base color. And do the same on the other side. And then lastly, you grab your other smaller eye shadow brush and your more natural eye shadow, and apply in the crease and just blend inward, and do the same on the other eye. And that's how you apply eye makeup to stay for the day. The most important tool here is your concealer. My name is Tanya Marie. Thanks for watching!

Mission Statement
The Sports Performance Department embraces the mission of both the Athletic Department and the University. In addition, it is the mission of the Sports Performance staff to enhance each Golden Eagle athlete's athletic ability, while minimizing the risk of injury, in assisting them to achieve peak performance in their respective sport.
Sports Performance Staff
Adam Hermann
Director of Sports Performance
Adam Hermann was hired just prior to the 2011-12 competition year as ORU's Director of Sports Performance. He came to ORU from Central Michigan, where he served as the Associate Director of Strength and Conditioning, working mainly with men's and women's basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball. He also designed and directed the nutrition education program for the Olympic sports.
Familiar with the Summit League, Hermann spent six years (2004-10) at North Dakota State, working as both a graduate assistant, and the assistant strength and conditioning coach.
He graduated from Northern Michigan University with a B.S. in health education. Hermann has his Level 1 Sports Performance Certification by the National Strength and Conditioning Association, adult CPR certified and earned Bronze Level Coach status with USA wrestling in 2001.
Bradley Ruhanen
Assistant Director of Sports Performance
Bradley Ruhanen came to ORU in September, 2011, joining the Golden Eagles from North Dakota State, where he was a graduate assistant, working with football, men's golf, the men's and women's throwers, wrestling and softball programs.
Before going to NDSU, Ruhanen was the assistant strength and conditioning coach at Michigan Technological University for one year. Ruhanen also has experience as a graduate assistant football coach.
Ruhanen graduated from Michigan Tech with a degree in management information systems after finishing up a four-year playing career as a wide receiver, kick returner and punt returner. He was the team captain and named the most outstanding freshman during the 2002 season.
Ruhanen has reached Level 1 Sports Performance Certification through the USAW and is CPR/AED certified.
ORU Sports Performance Philosophy
Our philosophy is to create a culture and an atmosphere that is conducive to winning and training. Athlete training programs will be designed based on the specific movements and physiological demands of each sport. Strength development, power development, speed, agility, quickness, conditioning, flexibility, injury prevention, and sports nutrition will be emphasized for each athlete in order to maximize their potential. A free weight approach with ground based movements and Olympic lifts will be utilized in the weight room.
Each and every student-athlete that is a part of the sports performance program will be exposed to a hands-on coaching style by the strength and conditioning staff. Just like the athlete is coached by their sport coach out on the field or court, they will be coached in the weight room by a member of the strength and conditioning staff. Our strength and conditioning coaches will be great teachers, great leaders and will demand great effort. We will teach and coach the athlete so that they are educated about why they are performing various movements and exercises.
We will create a culture and an atmosphere that allows our athletes to train at a championship level each and every day. Our culture will be built upon the values of hard work, commitment, pride, passion, mental and physical toughness, leadership and trust. We will respect those values in our approach to training day in and day out. We will realize that everything starts with an attitude and we will build upon that attitude to train at an extremely high level in order to meet and exceed expectations and goals.

Home > Passive Components > Magnetics, Inductors, Transformers
Choosing inductive components for high-speed
For next generation networks, new magnetic
technologies offer improved performance, higher quality, and
automated production
Impedance matching and filtering of high-speed
Ethernet data is commonly performed using hand-wound toroidal coil
transformers and chokes. These devices are relatively bulky
compared with other modern components, and so must typically be
mounted on the pc boards adjacent to the RJ-45 connector. Some
innovative designs integrate a small pc board (PCB) with hand-wound
transformers into the base of the RJ-45 connector to provide a
fully-filtered Ethernet jack. And in applications where ganged
ports are required, it is common to find these magnetic components
incorporated into a back-plane PCB.
However, all of these implantations have one
element in common – multiple hand-wound toroidal coils.
For such hand-wound coils, the ability to predict performance and
yield becomes increasingly difficult, especially at frequencies of
1 GHz or higher. The continued use of hand-wound coils at higher
frequencies will mean more errors, more production rejects, lower
yields, and, consequently, higher prices. In addition, the amount
of labor content will increase as well — further
increasing costs.
Hand-wound coils will undoubtedly remain popular
for lower-frequency interconnects and in lower volume applications.
Today, magnetic windings are predominantly manufactured by hand in
factories in China. With about 100,000 people winding these coils,
manufacturing consistency varies depending on the expertise of the
workers, and turnover can be as high as 50%.
When downturns and the resulting layoffs occur,
even experienced workers can be eliminated. Once the market
improves, it can take several months to train and develop a new
workforce and reestablish supply continuity.
Such a work-force situation can obviously lead
to extensive product supply shortages and quality issues. As the
demand for Ethernet ports continues to increase, and more and more
of these ports support 1-Gbit or even 10-Gbit data rates, the data
communications industry is looking for alternatives to wound
Magnetics in the substrate
One alternative can be found in advanced
magnetic technology. By leveraging the latest 3-D PCB processes,
this technology allow manufacture of wide-band planar transformers
and common-mode chokes embedded in a substrate. Well-established
PCB techniques are used to more efficiently manufacture reliable,
consistent structures.
The process starts by drilling controlled-depth
holes in FR4 PCB and inserting ferrite cores [Figure 1(a)]. Then an epoxy polymer is
applied that fills the cavities as well as surrounding and
protecting the ferrite. The special epoxy has characteristics that
allow manufacturing processes similar to FR4 for panelization,
drilling, and vias to create the PCB two-layer process.
After the epoxy polymer is cured, a
planarization process ensures a very flat structure. Next two
prepreg treatments are performed at elevated temperature and
pressure to allow copper to adhere to the FR4.
Copper is then applied to both top and the
bottom to create a two-layer board and the assembly is etched,
after which it goes through a solder mask process that fills in the
vias and deposits the solder mask on top [Figure 1(b)].
A thin tape layer is applied to one side of the
PCB and it then sawn on the opposite side and singulated into
individual components, in much the same way as in a semiconductor
process (Figure 2). Then testing is
performed on each device similar to the 100% testing techniques
used for semiconductors to verify conformance to critical
parameters and the consistency of the manufacturing process.
PCB-based technology using precision
photolithography allows the manufacturing of boards containing
hundreds and even thousands of planar magnetic devices.
Device performance
The planar magnetics advantage is complete
control over leakage inductance, capacitance, and the shapes of the
petals, or wrappings. The consistency of the manufacturing process
is based on design rules for controlling the size of the
For a 1-Gbit BASE-T Ethernet media filter and
isolation transformer with a 1:1 turns ratio (Figure 3), the tolerance is ±2%
at 100 kHz.
Because of the controllability in the
manufacturing of the embedded planar magnetics, device-to-device
performance is more consistent than possible with hand-wound coils.
Since the embedded magnetic product structure performs as a
tightly-controlled narrow pass filter with a high degree of
consistency and repeatability, the Bob Smith termination commonly
used for impedance matching can be eliminated or the components
reduced in many applications. In general, design margins can be
reduced compared to wound coil designs (see Figure 4).
A fully integrated connector utilizing the
embedded magnetic product technology (Figure 5) targets applications that
require reduced height and small form factor footprint, such as
laptop and notebook computers.
Magnetic components are an essential aspect of
high-speed data communications interfaces. As data rates continue
to increase, the design and production limitations of hand wound
coils are becoming more evident. As shown in the table below,
evaluation of three key design criteria can provide guidance on
whether to consider hand-wound ferrite coils or embedded planer
magnetic product technology.

about the new PlanerMag product technology is available for

Natural killer cells (or NK cells) are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte that constitutes a major component of the innate immune system. NK cells play a major role in the rejection of tumors and cells infected by viruses. They kill cells by releasing small cytoplasmic granules of proteins called perforin and granzyme that cause the target cell to die by apoptosis (programmed cell death). Stimulation of NK cells can be used to treat infections and tumors, to improve adaptive immune responses to these agents and vaccines, and possibly to promote successful full-term pregnancy.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a class of proteins that play a key role in the innate immune system.Current technologies that use TLR agonists have been showed to elicit toxicity. Others lack the ability to stimulate NK cell responses. Antibodies to NK cell surface markers in some cases activate only specific NK cell subsets and may not work in all patients due to allelic differences in NK cell surface proteins recognized by the antibodies. Antibodies may also cause depletion of NK cells or only activate specific functions of NK cells. Therefore a more effective approach to activate the innate immune system through NK cells is currently lacking.
All species of the genus Listeria secrete a major extracellular protein called p60. The laboratory of Dr. Lenz at National Jewish Health has purified the wildtype p60 protein and created a mutant form of p60 that lacks endopeptidase activity. They found that both forms of p60 contribute to the activation of dendritic cells (DC) in a manner that permits the activation of naïve NK cells. The enzymatically-null mutant p60 protein lacks the potential "off-target" effects, thus is an improvement over the wildtype p60 protein.
Potential Applications
Treatment of diseases that will benefit from NK cells activation:
State of Development
Investigators at NJH have identified a region of the p60 protein that is necessary and sufficient to elicit NK cell activation. Small polypeptides that contain this region retain functionality and have been shown to reduce tumor size in a cancermouse model. Modified versions of these polypeptides may show increase stability (and thus activity).

Mumbai Shopping
Mumbai is a shopper's town: in the same day, you can sift through alleys full of antiques in Chor Bazaar, haggle for trinkets on the Colaba Causeway, and stop in at the Brioni showroom at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel for marked-up luxury goods (though we'd recommend you get your Louis Vuitton and Armani back home to avoid the huge import taxes).
The Causeway, Kemps Corner, and Breach Candy are all trendy shopping areas in South Mumbai; the latter two are chic and pricey. A walk down Colaba Causeway will probably take you past most of the things you want to buy in India—shoes, clothes, cheap knickknacks, cheap cotton clothing, jewelry, and wraps—displayed at stalls lining the road; more expensive items are found in the air-conditioned shops and boutiques behind the stalls on this same road.
The arcades in top hotels offer a little bit of everything for a lot more money than anywhere else, but the merchandise is beautiful and the pace unhurried (and it's climate-controlled). If you're looking for the kind of stuff you can't get anywhere else in the world, and a more vibrant experience, throw yourself into the middle of one of Mumbai's famous bazaars. After all, odds are you didn't come to India to visit the Louis Vuitton boutique.
The city's department stores are good for one-stop shopping, and Fabindia and The Bombay Store both have a large number of branches in the city.
Throughout Mumbai many smaller shops are closed on Sunday (some of the suburbs are closed a different day: in Worli, up to Bandra, they're closed Monday; and in Bandra, up to the suburbs, they're closed Thursday, although many areas are also in the process of switching to Sunday). Malls, however, are open every day. They are especially crowded on the weekend (mall-gazing—that is, large-scale window shopping—has become a new Mumbai leisure activity).
Once you've exhausted Mumbai proper, you can venture out to the suburbs, where prices tend to be lower and the malls more numerous. Linking Road in Bandra is a trendy place to shop, and Juhu's main strip, Juhu Tara Road, is lined with cutting-edge new boutiques, shops, art galleries, and restaurants.
Some good and cheap Mumbai buys: silver jewelry, handicrafts, handloom cotton and silk clothing and household items, eyeglasses, DVDs, CDs, and books.
