When Argos Therapeutics president and CEO Jeff Abbey talked about his company's decision to come to Durham last week, he offered this anecdote:
""(We knew) we made the right decision when we got the whole company together and told them we would be in Durham … and this cheer went up from all 90 people."
I've met Michael Burbidge, the bishop of the Catholic diocese of Raleigh – which encompasses Durham – a couple of times. He regularly reaches out to media in his diocese. He's personable, measured, eager to listen and clearly a caring individual.
Monday, National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" aired a five-minute segment titled "Why You Should Start Taking Millennials Seriously."
The next day, the U. S. Supreme Court vaulted same-sex marriage to the cusp of legality from coast to coast when it declined to review five appellate court rulings that bans on those marriages are unconstitutional.
I suspect no one wants to know what I did on vacation, but indulge me a few precautionary, perhaps even pessimistic, thoughts.
I fly a lot less these days than I have, and for that I am mostly grateful.
More than a half-century ago, in 1953, when I was in kindergarten in far-away New York, a young aspiring comic and actor from what would later become the hometown of my youth and adolescence recorded his breakthrough record for Orville Campbell's Colonial Records in Chapel Hill.
One day last week, headed to lunch at one of the new restaurants lining Blackwell Street across from American Tobacco, I parked in the deck next to the Durham Performing Arts Center. Stepping out onto the brick plaza between it and Diamond View II, Durham's increasingly urban feel was evident.
For carolers, Christmas may be the "most wonderful time of the year," but for those of us intrigued by the changing nature of cultural touchstones, August may well be that.
In November 1942, after British forces had won a decisive victory – their first of the war – against German forces in North Africa, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, in one of his more famous lines, told the House of Commons:
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
Justin Wolfers, writing in the New York Times' column "The Upshot," a couple weeks ago had a sobering message for those on both sides of the partisan fight in North Carolina over extended unemployment benefits.
Nearly a quarter-century ago, on Sept. 3, 1990, the massive press thundered to life in our new building at 2828 Pickett Road and printed its first copies of The Durham Morning Herald and the afternoon Durham Sun.
A snippet in D. G. Martin's column on our editorial page Wednesday caught my eye, and sent me to his topic – the latest issue of N. C. Data Net – to drill a little deeper.
Rodrigo Dorfman, in a guest column on this page Tuesday, tossed out the g-word – gentrification -- and set off a minor round of debate on neighborhood discussion groups. Dorfman often does that. He's outspoken, thoughtful and prone to poke at painful issues.
An intriguing report from the U S. Census Bureau last week offered yet more support to drawing far more students into the fields of science, technology, engineering and math – the so-called STEM fields.

SBA, Visa want small exporters to enter video contest
Do you sell bowling balls to Bangladesh? Or dish towels to Delhi? Maybe you send laser technology to Lisbon?
If you export your goods or services around the world and have used a federal government program or assistance to get there, the U.S. Small Business Administration and Visa want you to enter the SBA-Visa Export Video Contest.
Participants will have a chance to win up to $10,000 in prize money. Eligible small-business exporters are encouraged to submit a video to www.exportvideo.challenge.gov that will highlight how the small business became a successful exporter, the benefits of exporting and government programs available to help them export.
To participate in the contest, the company must be a small business as determined by SBA's size standards (http://www.sba.gov/content/summary-size-standards-industry) and comply with a set of requirements that include successfully completing at least one export transaction and using at least one federal program or service to support such transaction.
Contest participants must register and create an account with www.challenge.gov, the contest portal that also will serve as a repository for the submissions. Registration is free.
A panel of judges chosen by SBA will select five videos to be awarded cash prizes directly by Visa — $10,000 for first place; $8,000 for second; $6,000 for third; $4,000 for fourth; and $2,000 for fifth.
The videos must meet specific criteria that include duration no longer than three minutes and high-resolution format.
Content should be educational, not promotional.
The contest is open through April 5. Winners will be announced no later than May 31.
For more information and submission procedures and requirements, please visit www.exportvideo.challenge.gov.

Just days after officially dropping out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, Mike Huckabee is already making plans for a possible run for the White House in 2012.
"We want to stay in touch and start now building a platform to continue addressing issues that brought us together in the first place," Huckabee said in an e-mail to supporters on Wednesday.
"We will keep our Web site up and as we transition, will want to create a way to keep in touch and continue the battle for our families, our freedom, and our future."
Huckabee intends to use as a model Ronald Reagan's efforts following his failed run in 1976 and leading up to his success in 1980, the Washington Post reports.
He plans to help GOP nominee John McCain and Republican congressional candidates gain support among conservative Christians for the November elections, "while looking for a national radio show or other forum that he can use to expand his influence within the party," according to the Post.
Huckabee's daughter Sarah, his national field director, said she could easily see her father running for president again in 2012.
"He's a young guy," she said. "We learned a lot over the last few years. A lot depends on what happens in 2008, but if there's an opportunity and he felt it was a good time to do it, I think he would."
Meanwhile Huckabee said he doubts McCain will offer him the vice presidential slot, but he hasn't denied interest in the job.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application 60/527,252 filed Dec. 5, 2003 entitled "Spatially corrected full-cubed Hyperspectral imager", incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates generally to spectrometry and particularly to hyperspectral imaging.
2. Prior Art
Hyperspectral imagers (HSI) are a class of spectrometers that record energy in many discrete spectral bands or colors simultaneously at a multitude of spatial picture elements, called pixels. Standard broadband imagers record one value at each picture element for all the detected incident energy across a wide spectrum. Hyperspectral imagers differ from standard broadband imagers by creating an additional spectral dimension in addition to the two spatial dimensions created from a two-dimensional array of detectors. Each HSI picture element may have ten to hundreds of wavelength values recorded.
Some hyperspectral imagers use a scanning approach where a scan mirror scans an image across the entrance slit of a spectrometer (pushbroom), often employing a prism or grating to disperse the various wavelengths across a detector array. Scanning hyperspectral imagers are complex and large. Such imaging spectrometers are often mounted on aircraft without a scan mirror; in such cases, the motion of the aircraft serves to scan the scene.
A class of imagers known as multispectral imagers or multispectral cameras resolve many frequencies of the image into a limited number of bands, providing a coarse measure of energy as a function of frequency. These systems use a color-sorting prism to separate the image into three spectral bands. Each prism output can drive a monochrome imaging array or a color image array. An example of this type of multispectral camera is available from Redlake MASD, Inc. (formerly DuncanTech), which has a camera configured with a 3-way color-sorting prism illuminating two monochrome imagers and one 3-color imager to cover a total of five spectral bands. The color sorting or separating prism provides bandpass filtering of the image into sub-bands. Trim filters in front of each image array can be used to provide additional wavelength selectivity and rejection of out of band energy.
One approach to achieve multispectral capability with a single imaging array, such as a complimentary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) or charged-coupled device (CCD) array, uses a color filter array (CFA) to limit the color band passing through to each pixel. The wide spectral response of a pixel is limited to the spectral band of the corresponding CFA element applied to that pixel. This technique is common in color video cameras and digital still cameras, using a Bayer filter pattern of interleaved red, blue, and green filters. An interpolation or de-mosaicing algorithm is used to reconstruct a color corrected image of uniform pixels from a mosaic of separate color pixels created by the filter pattern. These algorithms use a weighted combination of pixel values with neighboring pixel values. This approach creates an approximation of the hyperspectral information. Each pixel detects a different color from a slightly different position in the image scene. In a conventional pushbroom scanning system, each wavelength associated with a single spatial pixel in the cube views the exact same region of the scene. In a typical Bayer filter approach, each pixel views a slightly different region of the scene. Mathematical operations performed by image processing cannot reconstruct information lost as a result of the Bayer filter design. The de-mosaicing process produces an aesthetically acceptable result for some consumer applications. However, this loss of data can affect a variety of applications including those where a direct spectral comparison of spatially correlated images is required.
Imaging arrays fabricated with integrated circuit semiconductor technology have active and inactive areas. In addition to the light sensitive detector areas, other circuitry used for readout of the detector pixels uses area in the focal plane but does not collect light. This ratio of light sensitive and light insensitive areas is referred to as fill factor. Various technologies have different fill factors. In order to improve light sensitivity, micro-lens arrays (MLA) have been widely used in both CMOS and CCD arrays to increase the proportion of light that is directed to the light sensitive areas. In prior art designs, there is a one-to-one correspondence between a lens in the MLA and a pixel in the detector array.
A color filter array allows using a single detector array to resolve more than one color, but reconstructing the image formed from the interleaved filter array impairs accuracy for high precision hyperspectral imaging.
A spatially corrected hyperspectral imager according to the present invention achieves accurate spectral and spatial resolution by using a micro-lens array (MLA) as a series of field lenses, with each lens distributing a point in the image scene received through an objective lens across an area of a detector array forming a hyperspectral detector super-pixel. Each sub-pixel within a super-pixel has a filter used to spectrally characterize the object. The micro-lens spatially corrects the focused image point to project the same image scene point onto all sub-pixels within a super-pixel.
The array of micro-lens is positioned between the objective lens and the detector array to distribute light for a super-pixel to all of its sub-pixels. One lens of the micro-lens array corresponds to one super-pixel of the detector array. A super-pixel consists of several sub-pixels. Each sub-pixel within a super-pixel collects energy at different wavelengths by use of a color filter array in the optical path between the MLA and the detector array. Since each sub-pixel in any given super-pixel views the same portion of the image, the errors in conventional Bayer image sensors and de-mosiacing algorithms are no longer a limitation. In the most straightforward application, a super-pixel consists of an array of sub-pixels within the detector array where each sub-pixel has a unique narrow-band filter and is thus responsive to a unique band of wavelengths. The color filter matrix pattern, for example, employing 16 unique narrow-band filters in a 4�4 array, is repeated across the entire detector array. In this example, a super-pixel consisting of 16 sub-pixels represents one point in the image and measures 16 different wavelengths.
A conventional MLA with one lens per sub-pixel may be used for increasing fill factor, which may be an integral part of the detector array. The super-pixel MLA is an entirely separate element used in addition to the MLA that may be used for increasing fill factor.
A color filter array of various discrete bandpass filters forms a filter matrix. The bandpass filters can cover a contiguous range of wavelengths or non-contiguous wavelengths. The filters in the array may be narrow band, broad band, or complex in spectral response.
Each lens of the micro-lens array covers one super-pixel. Each super-pixel is an array of individual sub-pixels and forms a multiband detector. The array of multiband detectors forms a two-dimensional imager with a third spectral dimension, resulting in a full-cubed hyperspectral imager.
The super-pixel MLA may be used with a sensor that includes a fill factor improving MLA. If it is, then an additional MLA is required to preserve the field of view of the super-pixel.
In another embodiment of the invention, which further increases the number of colors resolved by the hyperspectral imager, a color separator is used to split the full band being imaged into sub-bands. Each sub-band is then imaged with one hyperspectral imaging array. For example, a 3-way color separator projecting the three sub-bands onto three hyperspectral imagers, using detector arrays with super-pixels capable of detecting 16 colors, will achieve 48-color resolution.
In one particular embodiment of the invention, the color separator uses three-color separating prisms to direct three broad spectral bands to three CMOS imagers located on the output faces of each prism. Two dichroic filters located at the prism interfaces act as band splitters. The dichroic filters can be deposited directly on the surface of the prisms. Other methods of color separation are well known, including layered cubes, layered filters, 45 deg dichroic mirrors, and gratings.
Objective lens 140 is preferably a telecentric lens. The chief ray for each field point of the image formed by a telecentric lens is perpendicular to the image plane. The chief ray is the ray for each field point (angle) that passes through the center of the aperture stop in the optical system. Alternatively, another field lens can be placed at or near the image plane to direct the light into the MLA as a telecentric lens would, thus causing a non-telecentric lens to function as a telecentric lens.
Aperture 150 represents the entrance pupil of the optical system and aperture 152 represents the exit pupil of the optical system. These pupils are images of the aperture stop, the aperture that limits the axial cone of energy from the object. The entrance 150 and exit 152 pupils may be actual objects or merely images of the aperture stop. To maximize light throughput and minimize crosstalk from adjacent super-pixels, the shape of the exit pupil 150 should match the shape (outline) of the layout of the detector pixels used to form the super-pixel. The focal length of MLA 130 should be designed to produce a demagnified image of exit pupil 152 that matches the layout of the detector pixels. For lenses whose aperture stop shape does not match the shape of the layout of the detectors (e.g. square, rectangular, hexagonal, or circular), a stop can be placed at the location of aperture 150 or 152 to change the effective shape of the aperture stop.
Each lens in the MLA images the exit pupil of the optics path, which has the effect of imaging the limiting aperture, onto the detector array. The image is out of focus at each detector sub-pixel because the MLA is at the focus of the objective lens, however, at the super-pixel level the scene is in focus. While not necessary for the invention to operate, forming the limiting aperture shape to match the shape of the super-pixel allows optimum performance.
A complete hyperspectral detector array, for example, uses a color filter array with a repeating matrix of 4�4 narrow band filters with 10 nm bandwidth in conjunction with a 1936�1086 detector array produces a spatial resolution of 484�271 points with 16-wavelength detection at 10 nm spectral resolution. A suitable CMOS array is available from Rockwell Scientific, which has intrinsic response from less than 400 nm to greater than 1000 nm.
Micro-Lens Array
Regardless of the shape of the MLA lens, a single micro lens spreads the light incident onto the lens across the area of a super-pixel. The MLA aperture should roughly match the super-pixel shape and the shape of the aperture stop. Deviations from this will cause light loss.
The micro lens is placed at the image formed by the objective lens and each micro lens functions as a field lens. Such a field lens in the optical path reduces the divergence spread of the light rays, making the light more collimated, thus the position of the optics behind the image plane is less critical. The direction of each cone of light projected from the objective lens is changed so that the cone is bent toward the centerline. Light focused to a point at the micro lens is spread across the super-pixel area. An image formed at the focus of the objective lens is refocused at the super-pixel resolution instead of diffraction-limited resolution of the objective.
Each lens has an effective collection aperture and the light received at any point in the aperture is distributed evenly across the underlying super-pixel.
The pitch of the micro-lenses is adapted to the size of the super-pixel. For example, with pixels of 5 um square forming a super-pixel of 20 um square, the center-to-center spacing of each micro-lens would be 20 um.
Micro-lenses are described generally and manufacturing techniques are disclosed in the following references, each is incorporated herein by reference:
Nakama et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,867,321, "Planar microlens array and method of making same"; Li, U.S. Pat. No. 6,587,147, "Microlens array"; Teshima et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,506,623, "Microstructure array, mold for forming a microstructure array, and method of fabricating the same"; Hamanaka et al., U.S. Pat.

No. 6,353,502, "Vcsel field construction"; Assadi et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,540,946, "Microlens for surface mount products".
Filter Matrix
The boundary between lenses may have excessive optical impairments, thus areas of unused pixels can be assigned to these dark areas. The filter matrix defines which pixels are used. The required size of the detector array increases for a given resolution due to unused pixels, or reduces the resolution available for a given size array. The benefit gained is improved illumination uniformity across the super-pixel, even though detector real estate is not fully used with this alternative filter matrix pattern.
Color Separator
Data Processing
The HSI described here can generate large amounts of data. A technique for acquisition and processing of data at real time rates of 30 cubes per second is described in Dombrowski et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,949,074 "Imaging Spectroradiometer", incorporated herein by reference. The techniques for reading the electronic signals from CMOS detector arrays are well known. Generally, digital and analog circuitry interfaces with the detector array to control the readout of rows and columns of image induced signal at each pixel. Preferably, an analog to digital converter digitizes the analog signal from the detector and further storage and processing of the image data is done digitally.

When the Cheng family, owners of the Azuma dynasty, closed their Vietnamese outpost Hue to replace it with a more focused modern-Japanese menu, we wondered whether this would just be Azuma #4. Instead they poached the prodigiously talented Manabu "Hori" Horiuchi from Kubo's (Hori-san has worked under Japan's sushi masters and trained at the prestigious Tsuji Culinary Institute) and set up a diverse menu of modern Japanese creations. The sushi menu is split between traditional rolls and new-fangled creations, from the Caribbean roll with lobster tempura and mango to the sexy roll with eel, tuna, fried shrimp and jalapeño to the sublime kobe beef roll, but there's also a variety of noodle dishes and robata offerings. For the best experience, sit front and center at the sushi bar and give your meal over to Hori-san by ordering omakase, Japanese for "it's up to you."
The service can be hit or miss, and the portions run small.

Doors open at 9:45PM
All Ages
September 13, 2014 After the festival ends in Town Park, we continue the music at 10PM on both Friday and Saturday nights at the "Juke Joints" located in various venues in Telluride. If you purchase a Juke Joint pass, it allows you to bounce around to all 4 venues. Be aware, however, that a Juke Joint pass does not guarantee that you will get into the show of your choice, but it does guarantee that you will get into one of the 4 Juke Joints - it all depends on the capacity of each venue. As they fill up, we direct you to which Juke Joints are not full. As the night goes on, the crowds at the Juke Joints tend to rotate, so even if you can't catch the start of the band you want to see, there's a good chance you can catch the last half of their show. So, if there is one particular band you really want to see, get in line early for the show! Doors open at 9:45PM. The VIP 3 Day Pass includes entry into the Juke Joints. Doors open at 9:30PM for VIP pass holders. The Juke Joint venues are all ages, with the exception of Fly Me to the Moon Saloon and the Elks Lodge - 21 and over only.
