The present invention relates to electronic color image capturing systems, and more particularly, to a color image capturing system that reduces undesirable artifacts, such as color fringing at the edges.
There are many applications where it is necessary to capture a color image of an object or scene of interest for display and/or storage. These include live video display systems, video cam corders, digital still cameras (DSCs), etc. The traditional techniques for color image capture in consumer electronic devices have limitations in the quality of the reproduced color images which can be understood by describing the operation of conventional DSCs.
In conventional DSCs a large number of charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are arranged in a matrix, which has either a square or a rectangular format. Most DSCs use a matrix or area-array of CCDs because of their ability to capture an image more or less instantaneously, much like a conventional film camera. The matrix of CCDs captures the entire image in one exposure, but it can require several exposures to build full color information. This is because the CCDs are monochromatic, i.e. they can only detect light intensity, not color. Therefore DSCs must use a color filtration system in conjunction with the CCD matrix in order to separate the incoming light into its red, green and blue (RGB); cyan, magenta, yellow (CMY); or other color components. There are several different ways that this color separation can be performed in a DSC.
A first conventional method of color separation in a DSC is the so-called "one-shot, three-chip" approach. All of the color information necessary to generate and store a still digital image is captured in one exposure. As the light enters the camera, a beam splitter, such as a prism, separates the light into its color components and a trilinear CCD chip is used to capture full RGB color component information. Three images, each representing one of the colors, are then realigned with the aid of firmware to form the full color digital still image. Because the human eye is most sensitive to the green spectrum of light, some three-chip DSCs are made with two of the arrays registering green color information and the third array is made up of a mosaic of red and blue filter elements. Since gaps in the red and blue information exist, interpolation is used to create additional color information.
A second conventional method of color separation in a DSC is known as the "three-shot, one-chip" approach. With this approach the DSC uses a filter wheel through which three individual exposures must be made to record the RGB color component information for the digital still image. Three separate images are then combined using the firmware stored in the camera. Problems can arise with this approach where the images are improperly realigned. Also, variations in light emissions during the three exposures can alter the color balance of the final image. Also, the mechanical structures needed to rotate the filter wheel require additional space for an actuating mechanism and are subject to failures.
A third conventional method of color separation in a DSC is known as the "one-chip" approach. With this approach a single integrated circuit contains all of the CCDs and filter elements are utilized, one filter element of a given color be associated with each individual CCD element The red, green and blue filter elements are arranged either in a striped pattern or a mosaic pattern. Some of the one-chip DSCs have image sensors in which there are more green than red and blue filter elements in order to accommodate the fact that the human eye is more sensitive to green in the visual spectrum, as well as the fact that more green improves image resolution.
In the one-chip approach each photosensitive CCD element functions to capture a single pixel of a given color in the final digital still image. At any given pixel location, only one color of light can be sensed, namely, the color of the filter element at that location. Additional color information at that pixel location is lost and must be inferred from neighboring pixels through a process such as interpolation. This process can lead to problems if incorrect color information is assigned to pixels. This is usually most apparent around high contrast edge areas, such as black text, where colored fringes "bleed" into the text. One CCD array mosaic pattern frequently used in one-chip DSCs is the so-called Bayer pattern illustrated in FIG. 1.
Some conventional DSCs use a lower quality lens system or a dispersing element with no optical power such that the image is blurred. This allows light from a given location in the image to be spread across more pixels, compromising picture quality (resolution). Although the resulting digital still image may, or may not, be as clear, certain undesirable artifacts, such as color fringing at the edges, are reduced, making the image more attractive to the user.
It is therefore the primary object of the present invention to provide a color image capturing system from which reproduced images have reduced undesirable artifacts such as bleeding, fringing and blurring.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method of capturing color images that reduces undesirable artifacts such as bleeding, fringing and blurring in the reproduced images.
In accordance with the present invention a color image capturing system includes an image sensor that generates output signals representative of an image of an object or a scene of interest. The image sensor includes a plurality of individual photosensitive elements arranged in an array. Each photosensitive element represents a corresponding pixel location in the image. A plurality of individual color filter elements are arranged in a predetermined pattern. Each color filter element is positioned adjacent a corresponding one of the photosensitive elements of the image sensor. An optical element shifts the light transmitted to the image sensor so that a portion of the incident light that would otherwise fall on a single photosensitive element is divided between at least two adjacent photosensitive elements. Blurring and undesirable artifacts such as color fringing at the edges are thereby reduced in the reproduced color images.
The method of the present invention involves transmitting light reflected by an object or scene of interest onto an image sensor. The image sensor includes a plurality of individual photosensitive elements arranged in an array, each photosensitive element representing a corresponding pixel location in the image. Before the light strikes the image sensor it travels through a plurality of individual color filter elements arranged in a predetermined pattern. Each color filter element overlies a corresponding one of the photosensitive elements of the image sensor. The light is shifted by a coated mirror, prism or other suitable optical element before it reaches the color filter elements so that a portion of the light that would otherwise fall on a single photosensitive element is divided between at least two adjacent photosensitive elements. The output signals from the image sensor are processed and a color image is reproduced. Blurring and undesirable artifacts such as color fringing at the edges of the reproduced color image are reduced.

FIG. 5 illustrates a green capture pattern that effectively results from the image capture system illustrated in FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 illustrates red and blue capture patterns that effectively result from the image capture system illustrated in FIG. 4.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a color image capturing system is illustrated in the form of a digital still camera (DSC) 10. The camera 10 is capable of transferring digital images to a printer 12 (FIG. 3) via cable connection, removable memory or wireless transmission. Referring to FIG. 2, the camera 10 includes a compact, generally rectangular outer plastic camera body or housing 14 that encloses and supports the operative components of the camera in conventional fashion. A lens 16 is mounted in a forward side wall of the housing 14 for focusing full spectrum light reflected from objects and scenes of interest. An eyepiece 17 a (FIGS. 2 and 3) on the rear side wall of the housing 14 forms part of a view finder that allows the user to view objects and/or scenes of interest through the lens 16 or to view electronically recorded images displayed on a small, internal color liquid crystal display (LCD) 17 b (FIG. 3). This is accomplished using a pair of pivoting mirrors (not illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3) inside of the housing 14.
A color image sensor 18 (FIG. 3), preferably in the form of an array of photosensitive elements such as charge coupled devices (CCDs), is mounted in the housing 14 behind the lens 16 for receiving the light transmitted through the lens 16. The image sensor 18 generates analog output signals representative of an image of an object or scene of interest. One of the mirrors inside the housing 14 may be pivoted to selectively send light received through the lens 16 to the eyepiece 17 a or the image sensor 18. The other mirror may be pivoted to allow the user to view objects and scenes through the lens 16 or to view electronic images on the internal LCD 17 b as indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 3.
Referring to FIG. 3, an array 20 of color filter elements overlies the forward side of the image sensor 18. The analog signals from the image sensor 18 are serially fed to a gain control circuit 22 the output of which is fed to an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 24. The digital output of the A/D converter 24 is fed to a digital signal processing (DSP) circuit 26, the output of which is fed through a buffer memory 28 to a control circuit 30. The control circuit 30 receives power from a battery 31 and includes a micro-controller or microprocessor as well as a JPEG file format conversion component 32 and an EXIF file format component 34.
Referring still to FIG. 3, light from images and scenes of interest enters the camera 10 through the lens 16 as indicated diagrammatically by the arrows and passes through the color filter elements 20 before striking the active face of the image sensor 18. The color filter elements 20 associated with the various detectors in the CCD array of the image sensor 18 cause the detectors to be sensitive to light of one particular color. Each detector of the CCD array accumulates a charge that represents the amount of light in one CCD pixel.
A timing generator 36 is coupled between the control circuit 30 and the image sensor 18. The timing generator 36 controls the reading of the array of CCD detectors that make up the image sensor 18 in conventional fashion. The charge accumulated by each CCD detector is serially applied to the input of the gain control circuit 22.
The timing generator 36 (FIG. 3) is capable of periodically flushing the CCD array of the image sensor 18. The gain control circuit 22 implements a conventional correlated double sampling process. This double sampling process accounts for overshoot and undershoot in the outputs of the CCD detectors as the output voltages from each of the detectors in the CCD array are read. The A/D converter 24 converts to digital values the analog voltages read from the CCD detectors after they have been adjusted by the gain control circuit 22.
The DSP 26 (FIG. 3) processes the digital signals from the A/D converter 24 so as to provide a demosaic function, and also performs automatic white balance detection and correction, as well as image sharpening functions in accordance with well known techniques. By way of example, the DSP 26 may be provided in the form of Part No. HD49811TFA commercially available from Hitachi. The output of the DSP 26 is a set of image pixels, each of which represents the color of a particular portion of the image that was captured by the CCD array of the image sensor 18. The entire set of image pixels associated with a complete flushing of the CCD array represents a single image of an object or scene of interest whose color "picture" has been "taken" with the camera 10.
The micro-controller of the control circuit 30 (FIG. 3) may execute firmware to provide the JPEG file format conversion component 32. Alternatively, the JPEG file format conversion component may be a dedicated hardware circuit or a combination of hardware and software. The JPEG file formal conversion device compresses the output received from the DSP 26 through the buffer memory 28 in accordance with a well known JPEG data compression standard. The image information which is in JPEG format is fed to the EXIF file format component 34 which embeds the JPEG format image information within a file that conforms to the DIGITAL STILL CAMERA FILE FORMAT STANDARD (Version 1.0, Jul. 13, 1995) commonly known as EXIF. The micro-controller of the control circuit 30 may execute firmware to provide the EXIF file format component 34. Alternatively, the EXIF file format component 34 may be a dedicated hardware circuit or a combination of hardware and software.
Referring again to FIG. 3, the portions of the camera 10 represented by the elements 22, 24, 26, 28 and 36 process the output signals from the image sensor as pictures are taken in succession to generate sets of pixels representative of a plurality of images of objects or scenes of interest. The control circuit 30 converts these sets of pixels into a plurality of image files representing images of the objects and scenes of interest. The image files are in the EXIF file format and represent a sequence of pictures taken with the camera 10. These image files may be stored in an internal memory 38 and can be conveyed via an output port 40 mounted in the housing 14 of the camera to a cable 42 connected to the printer 12. By way of example, the memory 38 may comprise a non-volatile random access memory ("NVRAM") portion and a volatile RAM portion. Alternatively, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the cable 42 could be connected to a PC (not illustrated) so that the image files in EXIF format could be further processed in the PC, displayed on its monitor, or downloaded to a printer connected to the PC. Alternatively, as described herein later on in detail, the user of the camera 10 may choose to transmit selected image files to the printer 12 via a removable memory 44.
The memory 44 (FIG. 3) is preferably a flash memory card that plugs into a female connector 46 in a receptacle or slot 48 formed in an outer surface of the camera housing 14. A floppy diskette or some other form of removable storage media could be used instead of a flash memory card. As another alternative, the user of the camera 10 may choose to transmit selected image files to the printer 12 by utilizing a wireless data link including an infrared (IR) transmitting device 50 (FIGS. 2 and 3) mounted in an outer surface of the camera housing 14. In such a case, the printer 12 receives the IR radiation in which image data has been encoded via an IR receiver 52 (FIG. 3) mounted on the exterior of the printer housing. The printer 12 has conventional circuitry connected to the IR receiver 52 for decoding the image data from the received IR signals. The IR transmitting device 50 is connected to an IR driver circuit 54 which is controlled by control circuit 30 to transmit the desired image data as hereafter described.
A display 56 (FIG. 3) is mounted in the top side of the camera housing 14 for reproducing color images for viewing by the camera user. The display 56 is preferably an LCD that can display alphanumeric and graphical information. The display 56 is driven in conventional fashion by the LCD driver circuit 58 (FIG. 3) controlled by the control circuit 30. The LCD driver circuit 58 also drives the internal LCD 17 b on which recorded images are displayed upon command for viewing through the eyepiece 17 a of the camera viewfinder. The display 56 can display a series of menus providing a plurality of command options that can be selected by the user as part of a graphical user interface (GUI) generated by the control circuit 30 using a control program stored in the internal memory 38.
A plurality of manually actuable controls 62, 64, 66 a, 66 b, 68, 70 a and 70 b (FIGS. 2 and 3) are mounted in the outer surface of the camera housing 14 so that they can be readily manipulated by the fingers of the user while viewing the display 56. By way of example, the manually actuable controls 62, 64, 66 a, 66 b, 68, 70 a and 70 b may be of the pushbutton type. The manually actuable controls 62, 64, 66 a, 66 b, 68, 70 a and 70 b interface with the control circuit 30 through a switch input/output (I/O) buffering device 71 (FIG. 3) in conventional fashion. The pushbutton 62 may be depressed to power the camera 10 ON and OFF and the pushbutton 64 may be depressed to "take a picture". The manually actuable controls 66 a and 66 b may be depressed to scroll up and down through command options displayed on the display 56. The pushbutton 68 depressed to select the command option currently highlighted or marked with a cursor. The other push buttons 70 a and 70 b may be depressed to control other functions such as current strobe mode selection and date/time entry, respectively. The current strobe mode can be selected from a "strobe ON", a "strobe OFF", an "AUTOMATIC" strobe mode, a "RED EYE AUTO" strobe mode and a "RED EYE ON" strobe modes. Each time the pushbutton 70 a is depressed an indication of the current strobe mode can be displayed by the LCD 56. When the desired current strobe mode is displayed, it can be selected and activated in the camera 10, by, for example, depressing the pushbutton 68.
A conventional strobe charge/discharge circuit 72 (FIG. 3) is connected between the control circuit 30 and a strobe or flash 74 (FIGS. 2 and 3) mounted in a front side of the camera housing 14. The strobe 74 may comprise a gas discharge tube which will flash a bright light on the object or scene of interest when "fired" or energized by the strobe charge/discharge circuit 72 (FIG. 2) in response to a command from the control circuit 30. The strobe 74 is fired in accordance with the current strobe mode during a current picture taking session. The strobe charge/discharge circuit 72 receives power from the battery 31. When the DSC 10 is set to ane AUTOMATIC strobe mode the ambient luminescence is detected by the control circuit 30 of the DSC 10 each time a picture is taken and the strobe 74 is energized if needed in accordance with pre-programmed luminescence levels. To facilitate this operation, the DSC 10 includes a luminescence detector circuit 76 (FIG. 3) that receives the analog output signal of a suitable luminescence detector 78 (FIGS. 2 and 3) mounted in the front side of the camera housing 14.
The control circuit 30 also causes a series of menus to be displayed on the display 56 providing command options that can be selected upon manual actuation of one of the pushbutton controls. Upon manual actuation of certain ones of the pushbutton controls in the appropriate sequence the control circuit 30 causes individual stored images to be displayed on the small internal LCD 17 b so that they can be viewed via the eyepiece 17 a (FIGS. 2 and 3) of the viewfinder. The LCD 56 on top of the camera housing 14 is used solely for displaying alphanumeric data and graphic symbols as part of the GUI. The control circuit 30 causes a markup file to be generated in response to the user's selection of a first predetermined sequence of command options via manipulation of the pushbutton controls. The markup file represents the designation of image files for further processing. The markup file can include information not only about which pictures are being selected, but how many copies are desired. In addition, the markup file can also include information about image enhancements to be performed on the selected images, such as rotation, cropping, brightening, etc. Once the markup file has been generated, the user can, by following the appropriate menus on the display 56 and actuating the appropriate pushbutton controls, send the designated image files to the printer 12 via the cable 42, removable memory 44 or IR transmitter 50. Regardless of the mode of data transfer, the printer 12 receives all of the selected image files designated in the markup file and all of the information about quantity and enhancements.
Referring to FIG. 4, in accordance with my invention, a mirror 80 is mounted inside the camera housing 14 for reflecting light from the lens 16 to the image sensor 18. The mirror 80 is provided with a partially reflective coating 82 of a material such as glass that causes the reflected image to be doubled. The second image generated by the coating 82 is shifted a predetermined amount from the original or first image that is generated by the reflective, e.g. silvered, surface of the mirror 80. The glass coating 82 has a preselected index of refraction and its thickness is a few microns or less. The predetermined amount of shift is preferably substantially equal to a width of one pixel, such that the light is duplicated in the manner indicated by the numerals in the mosaic pattern illustrated in FIG. 4 and in the table below. In FIG. 4, the solid line illustrates the light reflected off the surface of the mirror 80 and the dashed line illustrates the light reflected off the coating 82.

In the camera 10, the color filter elements are arranged in a predetermined mosaic pattern such as the Bayer pattern illustrated in FIG. 1. Other color filter element patterns that are well known to those skilled in the art could be utilized, such as striped patterns. Without the partially reflective mirror 80, pixel location 13 would be sensitive to green light only at that pixel location and pixel location 14 would be sensitive to red light only at that pixel location. Consequently, for example, the intensity of the green light falling on pixel location 14 would not be directly measurable. It could only be estimated using various algorithms depending upon the amount of light detected at the adjacent pixel locations.
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate green capture and red and blue capture patterns that effectively result from the image shifting mirror 80. A portion of the incident light that would otherwise strike pixel location 14 is re-directed to pixel location 13 which is sensitive to green. Consequently, the sum of the intensity of green light at pixel locations 13 and 14 in the original image is present at pixel location 13. The resulting wide green color detection regions 84 (FIG. 5) diagrammatically illustrate the averaging that takes place with respect to the detection of incident green light. The resulting narrow green color detection regions 86 merely represent the sensitivity at the edge of the image sensor 18. It will of course be understood that the image sensor 18 has thousands of individual photosensitive elements. The resulting red color detection regions 88 (FIG. 6) are arranged in alternating rows with the resulting blue color detection regions 90. As illustrated by the capture patterns of FIGS. 5 and 6, all of the green color component information in the original image is captured along with fifty percent of the red color component information and fifty percent of the blue color component information.
Thus, in the illustrated embodiment my invention provides a camera with improved image color detection. Blurring and undesirable artifacts such as color fringing at the edges of the color digital still image are reduced. My method for achieving these objectives may be characterized as an antialiasing method in that, broadly speaking, it utilizes a form of averaging to reduce fringing at the edges of the objects depicted in the color picture.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that my color image capturing invention is applicable to other devices besides DSCs, such as video cam corders, direct display systems, and other color image processing systems. The patterns illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 could be made less sensitive to horizontal lines by rotating them ninety degrees from their illustrated orientations. Non-uniform coatings could be used to produce a moire (i.e. wavy) pattern, that would re-direct portions of the light from other pixel locations onto a single predetermined pixel location. Additional image shifting devices can be inserted into the optical path, such as a second mirror, so that color information can be averaged over more than one pixel, both row-wise and column-wise. The amount of shift could be varied, e.g. one-half pixel, one pixel, two pixels. Depending upon the nature of the color image capturing system, other image forming devices besides a traditional lens may be used to direct the incident light through the color filters onto the image sensor, including prisms, mirrors and fiber optic devices. The image shifting means could similarly include such devices. It is not necessary for image data to be stored as it may be directly displayed. RGB, CMY, CMYA and other traditional filter element combinations may be utilized in well known mosaic or striped patterns, including, but not limited to, the Bayer pattern. Therefore, the protection afforded my invention should only be limited in accordance with the following claims.

Music, entertainment complex planned for east Bricktown in Oklahoma City
Farmer credited the successful development of a nine-story Hampton Inn across the street from the Wormy Dog with sparking interest further east. Over the past year, Meinders completed sale agreements with two other development groups for the remainder of the long vacant Stewart steel property.
One group, led by Gary Brooks and Andy Burnett, is working on a $75 million apartment, hotel and retail development on the north side of Sheridan Avenue between Lincoln Boulevard and Joe Carter Avenue.
Dr. Atul Patel, meanwhile, is planning to build two hotels, each between six and eight stories high, on former Meinders property at Sheridan and Byers Avenues.
Three floors of what will be an 11-story Hilton Garden Inn are already up just east of the Hampton Inn.
"If what has been proposed happens next door, the future here is very bright," Farmer said. "You're talking six hotels within a block of this property, and then all the housing that will be coming in. You've got an influx of people coming in, and Oklahoma City is coming back into its own with downtown."

Earnings Preview: Wall Street expects solid quarter from Apple, but focus is on the fallWhile many Apple observers expect the company to reveal solid year-over-year growth for its relatively quiet June quarter, much of the focus will be on new CFO Luca Maestri's guidance for the fall with updated iPhones and iPads on the horizon, the expected closing of the Beats acquisition, and the possibility of a so-called "iWatch."
Cowen & Co.'s Timothy Arcuri was bullish on Apple's prospects in a Monday morning note to investors, predicting that the Cupertino, Calif.-based company would beat the Wall Street consensus. The bank expects earnings per share of $1.17 on revenue of $36.6 billion, compared to $35.4 billion one year ago.
Arcuri believes Apple may have sold as many as 38 million iPhones thanks to "tepid demand" for competitors like Samsung's Galaxy S5 and the increasing availability of high-speed LTE wireless connections in growth markets, including mainland China. In contrast, the 12.5 million iPads Apple is thought to have sold through June would represent a modest drop from the 14.6 million tablets the company shipped in the year-ago quarter.
Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster, meanwhile, sees sales of 35 million to 36 million iPhones and 14 million to 15 million driving revenue of $38 billion, a 7 percent year-over-year increase.
Both analysts are looking to Apple's September guidance for evidence of the company's launch schedule for its next-generation products. A late September launch for the so-called "iPhone 6" could mean a boost of as much as $2 billion to Apple's revenues for the quarter, Munster believes, driving them as high as $41 billion.
Other topics analysts are sure to press Cook and Maestri on include Apple's $3 billion acquisition of Beats — which Cook previously said would be accretive to revenues in the fourth quarter — and the effectiveness of its recent 7-for-1 stock split. The company's new enterprise partnership with computing giant IBM is also likely to be on the docket.
AppleInsider will provide live coverage of Apple's earnings call for the company's fiscal third quarter — the company's first with Maestri at the helm — on July 22.

Appetitive besires and the fuss about fit

Some motivational cognitivists believe that there are besires—cognitive mental states (typically moral beliefs) that share the key feature of desire (typically desire's 'direction of fit') in virtue of which they are capable of being directly motivational. Besires have been criticized by Humeans and cognitivists alike as philosophically extravagant, incoherent, ad hoc, and incompatible with folk psychology. I provide a response to these standard objections to besires—one motivated independently of common anti-Humean intuitions about the motivational efficacy of moral judgments. I proceed by examining a hypothesis about the nature of appetitive desires—that these paradigmatic motivational attitudes are a mode of perceptual experience—and argue that this hypothesis is committed to the existence of besires. However, despite its commitment to besires, this hypothesis is not extravagant, incoherent, ad hoc, or incompatible with folk psychology. In other words, the standard complaints about besires all fail. The upshot is that there is nothing bizarre about besires, and motivational cognitivism takes on no additional costs by positing them.

Adopted: January 22, 2014
Released: January 22, 2014By the Regional Director, Western Region, Enforcement Bureau:
In this Forfeiture Order (Order), we issue a monetary forfeiture in the amount of six
thousand, four hundred dollars ($6,400) to Media Mining Group, LLC, (MMG), licensee of Station
KRDD(AM), in Roswell, New Mexico, for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 11.35 of the
Commission's rules (Rules).1 The noted violation involved MMG's failure to ensure the operational
readiness of the Station KRDD(AM) Emergency Alert System (EAS) equipment.
On December 7, 2011, the Enforcement Bureau's San Diego Office (San Diego Office)
issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture and Order (NAL) for eight thousand dollars ($8,000) to
MMG for failing to ensure the operational readiness of the Station KRDD(AM) EAS equipment.2 In
response to the NAL, MMG does not deny the violations, but requests cancellation or reduction based on its
history of compliance with the Rules, its ability to pay the forfeiture, the nature and circumstances
surrounding the violation, and any other matters as justice requires.3
The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section
503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and the
Forfeiture Policy Statement.6 In examining MMG's response, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that

must also determine the cause of any failure to receive required monthly and weekly EAS tests, and must
indicate in the station's log why any required tests were not received, and when defective equipment is
removed and restored to service.10 As reflected in the NAL, on June 21, 2011, an agent from the San
Diego Office conducted an inspection at Station KRDD(AM) and determined that although Station
KRDD(AM) had EAS equipment installed, the equipment was not operational.11 In particular, the EAS
equipment was unable to receive the required tests and Station KRDD(AM) personnel were unable to
produce documentation, logs, or records concerning EAS tests successfully or unsuccessfully received or
sent.12 Based on the undisputed evidence, we conclude that MMG willfully and repeatedly violated
Section 11.35 of the Rules by failing to ensure the operational readiness of the Station KRDD(AM) EAS
In response to the NAL, MMG nonetheless requests cancellation or reduction of the
$8,000 forfeiture, first arguing that the San Diego Office erred by not taking a "hard look" at the "nature,
extent and circumstances" of the violation.14 We disagree. The "hard look" doctrine that is proposed by
MMG is the standard the Commission is required to use when reviewing "meritorious applications for
waiver . . . and [the Commission] must consider all relevant factors."15 While the "hard look" standard is
not relevant to this inquiry, we find that the San Diego Office appropriately reviewed all the relevant
factors when proposing the forfeiture to MMG.16 The Commission has already determined that the
"adjustment criteria listed in . . . the guidelines reflect the factors outlined in the statute."17 For forfeitures
proposed and assessed under Section 503(b) of the Act, as this one is, the adjustment factors included by

replacement for 60 days with out further FCC authority. See 47 C.F.R. § 11.35(b). If the repair or replacement of
defective equipment is not completed within 60 days, an EAS Participant shall submit an informal request to the
District Director of the local FCC field office for additional time to repair the defective equipment. See 47 C.F.R. §
11.35(c). No such request was submitted by MMG to the San Diego Office. NAL, 26 FCC Rcd at 16430, n 13.

KKRD(AM) is now in compliance with Section 11.35 of the Rules. See Statement of Cholene Espinoza, Officer,

Federal Communications Commission
DA 14-56the Commission in its downward adjustment criteria, in Section 1.80, are: (1) minor violation; (2) good
faith or voluntary disclosure; (3) history of compliance; and (4) inability to pay.18
We find that the San Diego Office properly considered the downward adjustment criteria
and concluded that MMG's violation, which consisted of its failure to ensure the operational readiness of
the Station KRDD(AM) EAS equipment from December 2010 through June 2011, was not a minor
violation. MMG has produced no evidence that it was entitled to a reduction based on good faith or
voluntary disclosure to the Commission. MMG has also produced no information concerning its ability to
pay the forfeiture and we decline to reduce the forfeiture based solely on MMG's arguments that we must
rely on information other than gross revenues and that other entities have received large reductions.19
MMG further argues that it has a history of compliance with the Rules and, after reviewing the
Commission's records, we agree. We find that reduction of the forfeiture based on MMG's history of
compliance with the Rules is warranted and reduce the forfeiture by $1,600.
MMG also asserts that the San Diego Office failed to take into account other matters as
justice may require, including the local nature of the broadcast service it provides, along with the value of
the service it provides to the Hispanic community of Eastern New Mexico. While we applaud MMG's
efforts, we find that they do not support a reduction in the forfeiture amount. The Commission has
consistently held that "licensees are expected to comply with the Rules as well as to make continued
efforts to serve the community to which they are licensed and will not be relived of liability for violations
of the Rules by the fact they have fulfilled their responsibility to serve their communities."20
Additionally, "a licensee is not relieved of responsibility for complying with applicable statutes and rules
by the fact that it has performed an outstanding public service to the community."21 Therefore, after
consideration of the entire record and the factors listed above, we find that a forfeiture in the amount of
$6,400 is warranted.

The Family Research Council's report Wednesday commemorating 40 years of crisis pregnancy centers inadvertently confirms a dirty little secret of public health: $200 million per year is being spent on reproductive health care provided by amateurs.
Michael Steele finds room in his tent for pro-choice Republicans, but others don't want to share their campsite; Mike Huckabee remains coy about his intentions for the next Presidential campaign, but he nonetheless played the politician/campaigner at the "Values Voter Summit" this past weekend in Washington, DC. And South Dakota receives a grant for facilitating adoption of children in foster care.
The Family Research Council wants you to be manly. So the Values Voter Summit, the annual confab of ultra-conservative political and religious leaders, tried to be hip with a fundamentalist-inspired reenactment of "Mad Men."
Since "Save America's Insurance Companies" is hardly a winning rallying cry, conservative groups are calling on their reliable foe/political friend, abortion.
The Family Research Council has released an ad attacking health care reform, specifically the mythical assumption that proposed health care reform would force Americans into an insurance policy that covers abortion care.
How long is sex education going to be marginalized, hindered, or just ignored?
With such a lurid attack on Sebelius, Perkins had better be ready to explain his own complicity in AIDS deaths, not just in Africa but all over the world.
Who wants family planning resources, politicians or low-income American women? Tony Perkins claims that it's the former.
The Family Research Council predictably hails HHS rule and ridicules lawsuits seeking an injunction.
Calendars everywhere read 2009, but in the "pro-life" movement it seems they are stuck in 2004.

|ESPN.com: Football
|[Print without images]
|Junior Conner Svetly is a defensive lineman for state champion Chaparral (Scottsdale, Ariz.) despite being profoundly deaf and having two internally implanted cochlear implants so he can hear.
ESPNHS honors 18 male teen athletes who are doing remarkable things on the field, in the classroom and in their communities. Click here to read about them.
Two players dominated the headlines for Chaparral (Scottsdale, Ariz.) this past year. There was Davonte' Neal, the electrifying Notre Dame-bound wide receiver, the No. 8 player in the ESPNU 150. Throwing the ball to Neal was Texas-bound quarterback Connor Brewer, the No. 130 player in the ESPNU 150. So it's no surprise that the Firebirds won their third consecutive state championship and finished No. 20 in the POWERADE FAB 50.But there was another great story lurking beneath the surface. Conner Svetly, a reserve defensive lineman for Chaparral, won't be playing big-time college ball or making it to the NFL. But his ability to overcome adversity while excelling on and off the field makes him an ideal candidate for this list. Only 16, Svetly didn't start playing football until his freshman year because his parents feared for his safety. They weren't being overprotective -- Svetly is profoundly deaf and has two internally implanted cochlear implants so he can hear. When his surgeon gave him the go-ahead to play football, his parents relented. In addition to playing sports, Svetly has a 4.3 GPA and wants to become a doctor. He's also a volunteer at Desert Voices Oral Learning Center, a school for deaf children.

It wasn't Blish; the adaptation puts Uhura in the place of "Lieutenant Lisa."
The Star Trek Concordance
lists Baldavin's character as "Angela" and says that Lester-as-Kirk calls her Lisa by mistake, which is probably what you're thinking of. But Trimble gave "Angela" a separate entry from Angela Martine, apparently considering them different characters. That's weird. The character was officially billed simply as "Communications Officer," and is never called "Angela" at any point in the episode. Maybe Trimble saw some behind-the-scenes memo from someone suggesting that the character should be called Angela, but didn't realize why the suggestion was made.

Tony Romeo
Tony Romeo is Harrisburg bureau chief for KYW Newsradio 1060.
Born and raised in the Harrisburg area, Romeo began his professional career at age 18, while in college at Penn State Harrisburg. He was still a college student when he covered the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster for WSBA Radio in York, Pa.
Romeo also worked for five years as a television reporter in Harrisburg, and served as news director for an AM-FM pair of stations in White Plains, NY. He has also worked at stations in Florida and Texas.
Romeo came to KYW Newsradio in the summer of 1990. In 1993 he was assigned to a choice beat: to succeed famed reporter Sandy Starobin as Harrisburg bureau chief. In 1994, he came to Philadelphia and the City Hall bureau, where he served as bureau chief.
Romeo has covered major stories during the administrations of John Street and Ed Rendell, including the Philadelphia school district takeover, sports stadium controversies, the 1999 mayoral campaign, and the Republican National Convention in 2000.
On January 1, 2003, with former Philadelphia mayor Ed Rendell elected to serve as Pennsylvania governor, Romeo was tapped to return to Harrisburg for a second stint as bureau chief there. KYW Newsradio said Romeo's appointment was part of the station's plan to beef up its coverage in that area.
In his spare time, Tony has served as publicity chairman of the South Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.

A two-variable model of somatic-dendritic interactions in a bursting neuron
ABSTRACT We present a two-variable delay-differential-equation model of a pyramidal cell from the electrosensory lateral line lobe of a weakly electric fish that is capable of burst discharge. It is a simplification of a six-dimensional ordinary differential equation model for such a cell whose bifurcation structure has been analyzed (Doiron et al., J. Comput. Neurosci., 12, 2002). We have modeled the effects of back-propagating action potentials by a delay, and use an integrate-and-fire mechanism for action potential generation. The simplicity of the model presented here allows one to explicitly derive a two-dimensional map for successive interspike intervals, and to analytically investigate the effects of time-dependent forcing on such a model neuron. Some of the effects discussed include 'burst excitability', the creation of resonance tongues under periodic forcing, and stochastic resonance. We also investigate the effects of changing the parameters of the model.

- "A special type of phenomenological models is based on low-dimensional maps. There have been proposed only few explicit maps capable of generating essential aspects of bursting dynamics (for instance, see [19] [20] [3] and [10]). The models are designed with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of the mathematical structure underlying the oscillations. "
ABSTRACT: Bursting behavior is ubiquitous in physical and biological systems, specially in neural cells where it plays an important role in information processing. This activity refers to a complex oscillation characterized by a slow alternation between spiking behavior and quiescence. In this paper, the interesting phenomena which transpire when two cells are coupled together, is studied in terms of symbolic dynamics. More specifically, we characterize the topological entropy of a map used to examine the role of coupling on identical bursters. The strength of coupling leads to the introduction of a second topological invariant that allows us to distinguish isentropic dynamics. We illustrate the significant effect of the strength parameter on the topological invariants with several numerical results.Chaos Solitons & Fractals 06/2006; 28(5-28):1314-1326.

ABSTRACT: There are numerous families of Neural Networks (NN) used in the study and development of the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). One of the more recent NNs involves the Bursting neuron, pioneered by Rulkov. The latter has the desirable property that it can also be used to model a system (for example, the "brain") which switches between modes in which the activity is excessive ("bursty"), to the alternate case when the system is "dormant". This paper, which we believe is a of pioneering sort, derives some of the analytic properties of the Bursting neuron, and the associated NN. To be more specific, the model proposed by Rulkov [11] explains the so-called "bursting" phenomenon in the system (brain), in which a low frequency pulse output serves as an envelope of high frequency spikes. Although various models for bursting have been proposed, Rulkov's model seems to be the one that is both analytically tractable and experimentally meaningful. In this paper, we show that a "small" scale network consisting of Bursting neurons rapidly converges to a synchronized behavior implying that increasing the number of neurons does not contribute significantly to the synchronization of the individual Bursting neurons. The consequences of such a conclusion lead to a phenomenon that we call "behavioral synchronization".01/1970: pages 110-119;

As we prepare for Country Music's Biggest Night, The CMA Awards, we take a moment to salute the former CMA Female Vocalist of the Year winners.
There's nothing like a good promo for the 2013 CMA Awards to get us psyched up for country music's biggest night! And hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley already have us laughing in a new promo commercial for the event.
Carrie Underwood has been a longtime supporter of humanitarian efforts, and now she's being honored for her selfless and generous philanthropic work.
This year's theme for Fire Prevention Week is "Preventing Kitchen Fires" but, it doesn't look like Carrie Underwood got the message!
Carrie tweeted this...
Some are sexy, more than a few are silly and one is just plain dangerous. Country stars like Carrie Underwood and Jake Owen regularly use Twitter and Instagram to connect with fans, bringing them into their daily lives in a new and creative ways. Whether it's Scotty McCreery getting ready for makeup, Luke Bryan flashing his bass, or Tim McGraw just being Tim McGraw, you'll agree that these stars are worth keeping an eye on.
Country music boasts strong, talented and intelligent female stars, but it's still a largely male-dominated genre -- and Carrie Underwood thinks women still have a long way to go to catch up.
It's always hard to outshine Carrie Underwood, but it was nearly impossible when she walked the red carpet that the 2013 Emmy Awards on Sunday night (Sept. 22).
Carrie Underwood will take her powerhouse vocals onstage during at special tribute on the 65th Emmy Awards.
What is it about kids singing country music? It's irresistible every single time. Luke Bryan recently had an adorable show-stealer onstage with him, and now it's happened again -- this time to Carrie Underwood. The songstress invited a special little girl named Brooklyn to sing with her at the Puyallup Fair concert in Washington state on Friday (Sept. 14).
Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are two peas in a pod ... at least when it comes to co-hosting the CMA Awards.
For fans who are completely in love with Carrie Underwood's 'Sunday Night Football' intro, there's more. You can go behind the scenes of her SNF opening shoot and hear more of the singer's thoughts about her rendition of the song, as well as what she thinks about football.
From 'Jesus Take the Wheel' to 'Two Black Cadillacs,' Carrie Underwood's hits have found themselves a comfortable home in country music, which the singer loves. She recently stood up for the genre, explaining why she adores it so much and even going into detail on what country music is really all about.

DenimBlog.com › Blog › Celebs in Jeans › Emmanuelle Chirqui in Genetic Denim
We would like to thank the following sponsors who support us in bringing you all the celebrity denim news you love.
Emmanuelle Chirqui doesn't look too pleased as she tries to avoid paparazzi while chatting on her phone. I love Emmanuelle and think she's absolutely gorgeous. I'm sad that Entourage is coming to an end but I do think that it has certainly run its course. I can't wait to see how they wrap the last season up.
Emmanuelle looked chic in a monochromatic outfit. She wore a black leather blazer, peep-toe booties and black skinny jeans. Emmanuelle's skinny jeans are by Genetic Denim, the Shane Cigarette in Zinc. You can buy them at Revolveclothing.com for $220.
