INVENTOR= SAMUEL P. COOK W W W HIS ATTORNEY US. Cl. 350-162 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus for the formation of Frannhofer diffraction patterns of seismic data using reflection optics and light diffracted from replicas of variable density or light and dark recordings so that more accurate optical filtering may be done.
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the optical processing of two dimensional pictorial form records, i.e., light and dark or variable intensity, by utilizing the light diffracted from specially prepared replicas of the recordings. While the invention is directed primarily to the optical processing of seismic records which have been recorded as variable area or variable density recordings, the method and apparatus may be applied equally well to the processing of any data presented in two dimensional pictorial form.
As is well known in the art of geophysical prospecting, a seismic shock is imparted to the earth, generally by means of an explosion, and the seismic waves reflected and/or refracted and/or diffracted back to the surface by the subterranean strata are detected at selected spaced points on the earths surface, the selected points being at predetermined distances from the shock imparting or shot point. From these detected signals, the depths of the subsurface refiecting, retracting, or diffracting strata can be determined by measuring the time intervals between the initiation of the seismic shot and the incidence of selected parts on the incident wave at the detection point. Generally, the various detected seismic signals are corrected for various factors, such as the velocity in the weathered layer and differences in elevation of the shot point and the various detecting points, and then recorded in a side by side relationship. By carefully selecting the shot points and associated detecting points in different areas on the earths surface, and then placing the records from the various shot points side by side, a more or less accurate two dimensional rendition of a cross-section of the subsurface is obtained. Preferably, these records of the cross-section of the subsurface or seismic sections are photographically recorded by variable density or variable area techniques so that the resulting record is a pictorial presentation of the earths structure which may then be visually studied by a geophysicist.
As often occurs, however, the useful and desired information in the seismic section is only one portion of the total and is obscured by unwanted signals superimposed thereon. These unwanted signals may be caused, for example, by multiple reflections from shallow beds. The intelligibility of the seismic section can sometimes be enhanced by harmonically filtering the various detected signals. Normally, this harmonic filtering is performed prior to the preparation of the seismic section by utilizing frequency domain filters to selectively filter the time signals received from the individual geophones in electrical form. This type of processing, When considered as a harmonic filter operating on the spatial structure of the seismic section, only filters in one spatial dimension. Twodimensional spatial filtering requires more elaborate States Pate ice schemes often involving complex and costly digital data processing equipment.
In order to eliminate the above problems and to preserve the perceptual advantages of a visual presentation to the geophysicist, it has been proposed that the signals be optically processed. The old and well-known phenomcm of Fraunhofer diffraction is utilized to produce essentially the two dimensional Fourier transform of the spatial structure of the diffracting object, namely, the seismic section. In principle, the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is the diffraction pattern produced at an infinite distance by an object illuminated by a source of coherent light also infinitely distant. In practice, however, this two dimensional Fraunhofer diffraction pattern may be found along the focal plane of an imaging lens or mirror placed in the path of the diffracted light, and the illumination may be obtained from a point source which is located at a finite distance and whose rays are collimated by a collimating lens or mirror. Preferably, the light source used is monochromatic in order to produce better resolution and less complexity in the resulting diffraction pattern. However, it should be noted that the light source need not be completely monochromatic but may, for example, be an intense light source whose output has been filtered to restrict the wave length to a suitably narrow band of frequencies.
In order to use this basic phenomenon for the filtering of seismograms, a system according to the prior art produces a transparency replica, e.g., on photographic film, of the variable area or variable density recording and passes a beam of collimated monochromatic coherent light through the film. The light diffracted by the spatial structure on the film forms a Fraunhofer diffraction pattern in the back focal plane of the lens and continues to converge to form a real image of the transparency at a more distant plane. By selectively filtering in the plane of the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern, it is possible to selectively filter the seismic record with respect to its spatial frequency content and to attenuate undesirable background interference or noise in the record. Once the record is properly filtered, it may be photographed and studied by the geophysicist.
While the above-described system for optically processing seismic records is a great improvement over the previously known systems of processing seismic data, various problems arise because of the particular form of the seismic record from which the Fraunhofer difiraction pattern is derived, i.e., the film transparency. Since the system depends on an accurate formation of the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern, that is to say, on the interference at infinity of optical rays originating from all portions of the original seismic section, care must be taken to insure that no optical path errors are introduced into the diffraction pattern by irregularities in the physical properties of the film record, for example, varying thickness and/ or refractive indexes of the photographic emulsion or transparent film base. The first two mentioned irregularities cause uncontrolled variations to occur in the optical paths of the light rays due to varying amounts of refraction of the light passing through the film; and, therefore, it is important that both surfaces of the film be optically flat and parallel. Since for practical reasons it is virtually impossible to insure that a film having regular physical properties has been used, in the prior art system the film is placed together with a fluid having the same index of refraction as the film between two transparent optically flat plates which are then pressed together. The fluid then tends to smooth out both surfaces of the film and also tends to compensate for any irregularities in the thickness of the film. While the record prepared in this manner produces some improvement in the optical performance of the system, i.e., it attempts to eliminate the errors due to different amounts of refraction, in practice the compensation is only partially successful.
In addition to the above-mentioned problem with the prior art system, it should be noted that in order to obtain good dispersion of the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern, the lens used to bring the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern to a focus should have a long focal length. Moreover, in order to obtain good resolution of the diffraction pattern, large light apertures are needed. These two conditions of a long focal length and large apertures are relatively difficult and expensive to satisfy with a lens system.
Briefly, according to applicants invention, the above problems inherent in the prior art system are eliminated by utilizing reflection optics in place of the transmission optics of the prior art system. Moreover, the overall light losses are generally less in a reflective system since fewer surfaces are usually involved, and more importantly loss of contrast and ghost images caused by spurious reflections are reduced. The film record of the prior art system is replaced by a reflection replica comprising an optically flat reflective surface having a relief image or facsimile of the seismic record replicated thereon, preferably by photographic processes utilizing either a silver halide sensitized emulsion, a photo-sensitive plastic such as Kodak Photo Resist, or some other photo-sensitive material. The photo-sensitive plastics are preferred since by their use, relief images are produced which after processing result in the reflective surfaces having a surface flatness as good as the original substrate. The reflective surface with the facsimile of the seismic section thereon is positioned to be illuminated by light from a source of spatially coherent light which has been collimated by a collimating mirror. The light may or may not be monochromatic according to the operator's choice and the particular filtering operation being undertaken, i.e., monochromatic or substantially monochromatic light may be required in those instances where specific resolution requirements are made in the Fourier plane. The light diffracted by the reflection replica is collected and focused by means of an imaging mirro to form the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern or Fourier transform of the spatial structure of the facsimile and then re-imaged by any convenient optical system. Appropriate filters are then interposed in the optical path between the replica of the seismic section and the re-imaged seismic section. By observing the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern and/or the re-imaged filtered seismogram, the geophysicist can determine the particular type of filters which are to be used. Preferably, the filters utilized are located in the focal plane of the imaging mirror which is the locus of the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern. Filters located here correspond to harmonic filtering in the conventional meaning of that term. However, filters may be introduced at desired locations along the paths of the optical rays but out of the focal plane of the imaging mirror plane in order to perform a generalized filtering.
As can easily be seen, the problems present in the prior art system due to the difficulty and expense of utilizing long focal lengths and large apertures are eliminated by use of mirrors. More importantly, the elimination of spurious reflections improves image contrast, eliminates ghost images, and diffraction and interference artifacts superimposed on the image are greatly reduced. Moreover, the use of a reflection replica of the seismic section in place of the transmission replica of the prior art system eliminates the problem resulting from refraction irregularities in the film record of the seismic section utilized. As can be easily appreciated, it is easier to produce a single optically flat reflective surface; and since the light to be diffracted at no time passes through the main body of the plate or surface having the facsimile thereon, variations in the thickness of the plate and of the composition of the plate are of no consequence. In addition, this technique permits the fabrication of phase replicas as well as the more usual amplitude replicas whereas phase replicas can not be easily made with the prior art system. By phase replicas we mean relief images which are completely transparent but whose film thickness and hence optical path lengths carry the desired information.
Applicants invention and the advantages thereof will be more clearly understood from the folowing detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:

FIGURE 7 is an enlarged view of a portion of a seismic section prior to filtering according to the invention; and
FIGURE 8 is an enlarged view of the section of the seismogram shown in FIGURE 7 after filtering utilizing a filter such as shown in FIGURE 6B.
Referring now to the drawings and, in particular, FIG- URE 1, there is shown a collimating mirror 10 having a point source of spatially coherent light 11, preferably monochromatic, located substantially in the focal plane of the mirror 10. This point source may even be a virtual image produced, for example, by a suitable convex mirror o diverging lens. Any conventional means for producing the point source of light 11 at the desired location may be utilized. For example, one conventional arrangement for producing a point source of monochromatic coherent light is to filter the collimated light from a compact arc mercury vapor lamp, a concentrated are zirconium arc lamp or a xenon lamp to produce monochromatic light and then to focus this monochromatic light through a pinhole. While this method of forming the desired monochromatic coherent light operates satisfactorily, it should be noted that the method is relatively inetficient due to large light losses and therefore requires that a relatively intense principal light source lamp be used in order that the light coming through the pinhole may be of suflicient intensity to be useful in a practical application. Accordingly, according to applicants invention, as an illuminator option, applicant allows for the use of a laser light source 12, such as a helium-neon gas laser o a ruby crystal laser which produce light at approximately 6328 A. and 6943 A., respectively, or any of the other many varieties of lasers. However, the extreme degree of collimation and monochromaticity provided by the laser is required for only relatively few filtering applications. A laser light source provides some advantages over the previously described illuminators since the light produced by a laser is inherently both monochromatic and spatially coherent; thereby eliminating the intensity losses incurred when collimating and filtering the more usual illuminators.
The light beam from the illuminator, i.e., in the preferred embodiment, the laser 12, is preferably brought to a focus to produce the point source of light 11 by being passed through a pair of lenses 13 and 14. The purpose of the lens 13 is to insure that the entering light beam covers the desired portion of the surface of the condensing lens 14 which then focuses the light to produce the desired point source of coherent light 11. As indicated in the figure, the light from the condensing lens 14 is brought to a focus through a circular aperture in an opaque plate 16, e.g., metal (see FIGURE 2A), which is also located substantially in the focal plane of the mirror 10, the aperture 15 constituting the entrance aperture or pinhole to the optical processing instrument. In the case of a laser light source, this entrance aperture is provided to eliminate the outer fringes of the light beam from the laser 12 which are varying in intensity, in order that the point source of light be of uniform intensity and consequently uniformly illuminate the collimating mirror 10. This entrance pinhole is, of course, required for collimation of non-laser illuminators. Such uniform illumination of the collimating mirror and the subsequent uniform illumination of the diffraction replica are required in order to form a Fraunhofer diffraction pattern which is a true Fourier transform of the spatial structure of the reflection replica. In order to perform this function, the light from the condensing lens 14 is focused in the center of the aperture 15 which should be of sufficiently small diameter so that it is completely filled by the uniformly diffuse light and blocks the varying intensity fringence.
Positioned to be illuminated by the collimated light from the collimating mirror 10 is an object or reflection replica of the seismic record to be analyzed. As indicated in FIGURE 3, the object replica 20 consists of a plate 21 having an optically flat reflective surface on which has been reporoduced a facsimile 22 of the variable area or variable density seismogram. Although any type of highly reflective optically flat surface may be utilized, for example, a highly polished piece of metal preferably as shown in FIGURE 4, the object replica comprises a glass plate 23, for example, a 1 /2 by 3 inch microscope slide, having an optically flat surface 24 which has been coated with a highly reflective coating 25. The facsimile 22 on the surface of the highly reflective coating 25 is the desired relief image of the seismic record to be analyzed.
Although any desired method of producing the reflection replica 20 of the seismic record to be analyzed may be utilized, preferably according to applicants invention, the reflection replicas are prepared by photographic processes where by relatively high resolution replicas of the seismic sections can be realized. According to the invention, the reflection replicas are produced by coating, for example, by vacuum evaporation techniques, a prepared optically flat surface of a flat glas plate with a thin, highly reflective coating of metal, for example, aluminum, chromium or silver. The metal coating is then overcoated with a thin film approximately 1 micron in thickness of a photosensitive plastic such as Kodak Ortho Resist. Such photosensitive plastics have the property of being rendered insoluble in the developing solutions utilized when exposed to light. The photosensitive plastic is then exposed to light which has been passed through a film reproduction, for example, microfilm, of the desired seismogram so that effectively a contact print of the film is made on the coated surface. Direct exposure in a suitable camera is also practical. The exposed plate is then developed by standard developing techniques for such photosensitive plastics whereby the unexposed portions of the photosensitive plastic are dissolved away, resulting in a relief image of the seismic section remaining on the plate 21. If desired, the reflection replica may then be baked to render the remaining plastic relatively insoluble. If the particularly reflection replica is to be used as an amplitude grating, then, following development of the replica, the replica should be dyed with any suitable dye, for example, Kodak Photo Resist dye, in order to render opaque the portion of the replica which is overlaid by the remanent plastic. It should be noted, however, that because of the inherent properties of the photosensitive plastics, it is also possible to produce reflection replicas accounting to the invention which can be utilized as phase gratings for the diffracted light. If this latter form of grating is desired, then exposure and development must be so executed, utilizing techniques which in themselves are known in the art, that the thicknesses of the remanent photo-resist is in the desired proportions and no dyeing of the replica is required. Other processing methods are also suitable for producing the desired relief facsimile of the record on the flat optical surface of the plate 21. For example, after proper exposure of the plate to the record, the facsimile of the record may be etched into the reflective surface by a suitable etching solution, for example, hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, ferric chloride solution, or any of the various proprietary etchants.
The diffracted light from the reflection replica 20 is collected by an imaging mirror 28 which causes parallel light rays striking its surface to converge to points in its focal plane and thereby form the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern or Fourier transform of the spatial structure of the reflection replica 20. Although the mirrors 10 and 28 are shown as two separate mirrors, these mirrors may actually be portions of a single mirror. Preferably, how ever, the mirrors 10 and 28 are close together and the reflection replica 20 is along the optical axis of the mirror system in order to prevent undue off axis optical distortions. Moreover, it should be noted that the particular distance of the reflection replica from the collimating and imaging mirrors 10 and 28, respectively, will not change the location of the Fourier image of the reflection replica 20, i.e., the focal plane of mirror 28, but it will change the angular convergence of the rays and hence will effect the point at which the real image of the reflection replica 20 is formed.
Located in the focal plane of the imaging mirror 28 is an opaque or metal plate 29 having an aperture 30 therein hereafter called the Fourier aperture. As shown in FIGURES 5A and 5B, Fourier aperture 30 may have any desired shape, for example, the circle shown in FIG- URE 5A or the square shown in FIGURE 53, but preferably has approximately the same area as the facsimile 22 in order to distribute resolution reasonably equally in the real and the Fourier domain. The particular dimensions of the Fourier aperture 30 are determined by the desired limits of the spatial structure, i.e., the high frequency cutoff, and the scale of the Fourier transform which in turn is dependent on the wave length of the light and the focal length of the imaging mirror 28. Preferably, when utilizing the instrument, and in order to produce a Fourier transform having the same high frequency limits on all sides, the zero order image of the entrance aperture should be in the center of the Fourier aperture 30. This can be accomplished by initially replacing the object replica 20 by a plane flat mirror and adjusting (l) the vertical and horizontal positions of either the Fourier aperture 30 or the point source of light 11, (2) the orientation of the mirror substituted for the object replica 20, or (3) the orientation of mirrors 10 and 28, until the focused dot of light corresponding to the entrance aperture is in the center of the Fourier aperture. Preferably, the instrument is designed so that the zero order image of the entrance aperture is centered in Fourier aperture 30 when the replica 20 is exactly normal to the optical axis of the system.
After passing through the Fourier aperture 30, the rays diffracted from the reflection replica 20 are re-imaged by any convenient optical means whereby the re-imaged facsimile of the seismic record may be visually observed, for example, by means of the microscope 31 and the eyepiece 32. However, it is to be understood that other means for viewing the filtered image may be utilized such as a closed circuit television camera or merely a projection screen. In order to enable the making of a permanent record of the re-imaged light, the microscope 31 is provided with a camera 33 or other suitable recording device. The entrance aperture of the viewing and recording system should be sufficiently large and placed sufficiently close to the Fourier aperture 30 so that all of the light rays which have passed through the Fourier aperture 30 are utilized in order that additional uncontrolled and undesired filtering be avoided.
In order to selectively filter the diffracted light rays, one or more filters 36 and 37 are interposed at appropriate locations in the optical path of the diffracted light. Preferably, as shown in the drawing, the filters 36 and 37 are located in the focal plane of the imaging mirror 28. The placing of the filters at the focal plane of the imaging mirror 28 or, in other words, at the locus of the Fourier transform of the spatial structure of the record to be analyzed, is desired since at this position optical filters produce effects which are in close relation to the large body of theoretical literature on the Fourier transform. The ease in constructing filters at this locus is brought about by the well-known fact that the light rays diffracted by a slit (or alternatively an opaque straight line against a clear background) are all in directions perpendicular to the original slit. Consequently, a single opaque straight line in the Fourier plane will eliminate from the final image all structure in the original which consisted of lines perpendicular to the opaque line in the Fourier plane. Since the two-dimensional Fourier transform of the spatial structure of an object is representative of the horizontal and vertical spatial frequency components therein, opaque objects placed in the Fourier plane will suppress frequencies at the locus of the opaque object, while transparencies will allow the frequencies to pass, i.e., opaque objects act as stop band filters while transparent regions act as pass band filters. Moreover, by selectively varying the density of the filters, the amplitude portion of the signals may be selectively filtered. Phase filters are also practical wherein the relative phase of the light waves is altered independently of its amplitude. Such filters are well known in the field of optics and may consist of a transparent disc having a variable thickness so that the relative phases of the different light rays proceeding through the disc are selectively altered by varying the thickness at selected locations on the disc. Alternatively, filters may be constructed which filter the light rays with respect to both their amplitude and phase.
Referring now to FIGURE 6, there are shown a number of examples of simple filters which may be used with the apparatus and method according to the invention. As shown in FIGURE 6A, one type of filter which may be used comprises a wire 40 mounted in a frame 41 which is free to rotate within a plate 42. When such a filter is placed in the Fourier plane, any frequency components lying along the axis of the wire 40 will be suppressed and consequently filtered out of the re-imaged replica 22. By observing the re-imaged diffracted light and rotating the wire 40, the geophysicist or other operator can observe the particular orientation at which undesired signals are removed or, in other words, when the desired information is made more clear on the record. Experiments have shown that this filtering can be done with great delicacy. In one example a human hair was used as a filter over a Fourier aperture of a 2-inch diameter. With exact adjustment structures could be completely removed with negligible effect on other sets of parallel lines at only slight inclination to the originals. The filter shown in FIGURE 6B consists essentially of a plate 44 having a slit 45 therein. The slit 45 effectively acts as a band pass filter which passes almost all of the horizontal components of the frequency spectrum and, depending on its Width, filters out the higher vertical frequency components. By varying the position of the slit and/or the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the slit, various undesirable frequency components may be eliminated. The results of filtering by means of a filter such as shown in FIGURE 6B are shown in FIGURES 7 and 8. FIGURE 7 is an enlarged reproduction of the original variable area seismogram or, in other words, a reproduction of the record which is replicated on the plate 21. As can easily be seen from this reproduction, the signals therein line up in vertical columns. After filtering by means of a pass band filter such as shown in FIGURE 6B a photograph of the re-imaged diffracted light produces a pattern such as shown in FIG- URE 8. As can be easily seen from this drawing, the traces now appear to be horizontal lines. This results from the suppression of the vertical spatial structure of the original seismic section.
Another type of filter which is of particular importance is seismic work is the filter shown in FIGURE 6C which is referred to as a pi slice filter. Such a filter consists generally of a pair of adjacent opaque discs 40 and 41, which are mounted to rotate about a common axis 42. Each of the discs 40 and 41 is provided with an aperture 44 and 45, respectively, which is the shape of a pair of equal sectors formed between two displaced diameters of the discs. By placing the discs 40 and 41 in the optical path of the diffracted light and rotating the discs 40 and 41 relative to one another, the effective size of the aperture 44, and hence the quantity and portion of the light pattern striking the surface of the disc 41, can be selectively varied.
As oftentimes occurs, it is required that the Fourier pattern be observed and/or recorded. Observation of the light pattern of the Fourier aperture may be achieved by replacing the filter 37 with an unexposed photographic plate in order to record the Fourier pattern, by replacing the filter 37 with a piece of ground glass, by focusing a microscope or camera on this plane, or by other optical means so that the Fourier pattern may be observed.
It should be noted that although a few simple types of filters have been shown, it is to be understood that many other types of filters which may provide complex filtering functions can be used. For example, another type of filter which might be utilized is a negative copy of the Fourier transform which has been made photographically and which is placed in the path of the diffracted light as exactly the position that the picture was taken. Such a filter has the property of equalizing the intensity of the various converging light rays in the Fourier plane and hence tends to reduce or eliminate the large energies due to the initial seismic receptions or first breaks. This type of filter may be made with ordinary photographic film or by placing a piece of photochromic glass at the desired location. Since this type of glass has the property of adjusting its density in proportion to the incident light intensity and thereby forming a negative type picture of the incident light pattern, the desired filter Will be automatically formed and will require no movement to insure proper registration. Moreover, since it is another property of this type of glass that the image formed thereon fades with time, the same piece of glass may be used over again. The photochromic glass has the additional property of being photosensitive in a definite wave length region, usually in the blue region of the spectrum. This allows for the additional possibility that its density may be controlled in this region, for example, by projecting a desired filter onto the glass by means of blue light, and its filtering action used with an optical system using diffracted light in the red end of the spectrum. Of course, in such an application, the resultant light must be filtered to remove the light in the blue region of the spectrum in order that only the desired filtered diffracted light pattern remains, i.e., the red light.
It should further be noted that although the invention has been described for producing the Fourier transform of the spatial structure of the replica of the seismogram, and therefore requires that the replica be uniformly illuminated, if it is desired to emphasize various portions of the record at the expense of the remaining portions of the record, generalized Fourier transforms may be realized by nonuniform illumination of the record replica. For example, nonuniform illumination may be achieved by altering the focal length of either of the lenses 13 or 14 and/or the position of the entrance aperture 15. Preferably, nonuniform illumination of the reflection replica 20 is achieved by masks having various shaped apertures placed either in front of the replica 20 or the collimating mirror 10. Such masks, which are well known both in the general field of optics and in the particular field of optics as applied to seismic work and which may be of the step type or of the continuous tone type, tend to taper the illumination of the replica in a controlled and desired manner depending on the particular shape of the mask aperture to give a generalized harmonic filtering.
It should also be noted that the drawing of the system shown inFIGURE 1 is a schematic diagram and, accordingly, all'of the various light stops and diaphragms required for precision optics are not illustrated. F01; example, the mirrors and28 and the reflection replica 20 may be provided with diaphragms or light shields such as indicated generally by reference numerals 48, 49 and 50, so that only the desired light rays impinge on the various members and all extraneous light is obscured.
While the invention has been described primarily for the twodimensional spatial filtering of pictorial type records, the basic optical system shown may also be used for one-dimensional spatial filtering if desired. The .conversion of the system for one-dimensional vspatial filtering is easily accomplished by replacing the pinhole type of entrance aperture with a thin, slitshaped entrance aperture 51 such as shown in FIGURE 2B. Other useful variations of the instrument may be obtained by using astigmatic components in the camera optics.
Obviously, various other modifications of the invention are possible in light of the above teachings without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated.

(Al Bello/Getty Images)The Washington Redskins posted a strange article on the team's website Monday with the headline, "We Are Very Proud To Be Called Redskins."The article highlights the quote in its first paragraph, which comes from a high school athletic director in Coshocton, Ohio. It also boasts that "almost as many" high school teams use the "Redskins" nickname as the "Cowboys," while more use the name than the "Giants."Redskins.com found that there are almost as many schools using the name Redskins as Cowboys, as only 75 schools use the name Cowboys, and interestingly just 19 use the name Giants.The high school's athletic director and principal are the only two people cited in the story.The article comes amid renewed scrutiny over the team's name and calls to change it. The Redskins were targeted during a recent daylong symposium at the Smithsonian about racial stereotypes, to which they were invited but chose not to attend. Washington Mayor Vincent Gray also pointedly referred to the franchise as "our Washington football team" in his recent State of the District speech, avoiding the Redskins nickname.NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked about his thoughts on the nickname during the week leading up to the Super Bowl, but he didn't give any hints that he would make a push to change it."Growing up in Washington, I do understand the affinity for that name with the fans," Goodell said, according to The Washington Post. "I also understand the other side of that. I don't think anybody wants to offend anybody. This has been discussed several times over a long period of time. I think [Redskins owner] Dan Snyder and the organization have made it very clear that they're proud of that heritage and that name and I believe fans are, too." Promoted Stories Comments

Financial regulators are throwing a bone to sprawling global banks by watering down plans for what happens if a lender goes bust. Putting the likes of HSBC on an even footing with rivals structured differently is justifiable. But it makes resolving crises that bit harder.
Numbers add up to HSBC leaving London
The global bank is reviewing its head office location based on 11 criteria such as economic importance, transparency and tax. A ranking based on data compiled by Breakingviews shows Singapore, Hong Kong and even Toronto are more attractive than HSBC's current home base.
HSBC continues to wind back the clock
Four years since he started pruning the bank, CEO Stuart Gulliver is cutting risk-weighted assets by a quarter and shedding 50,000 employees. HSBC is returning to its roots as an Asia-focussed trade lender, though investors will have to wait almost three years to feel the effect.
UK taxpayers hurt more by EU split than HSBC exit
Deutsche Bank and its rivals could move operations out of London if Britons vote to leave the EU. That would dent the main source of UK tax from the financial sector - income tax on bankers. It's a bigger loss than reduced bank levy receipts from HSBC moving its head office.
HSBC revival overshadowed by existential questions
Better investment banking revenue and fewer bad loans boosted the $194 bln bank's quarterly results. That's a welcome respite from the Swiss tax furore. Still, long-term fortunes rest on decisions about its shape, head office location and UK business. None will be resolved soon.
FX fines are wake-up call on self-policing
The $3.4 bln settlement for five banks works out on average at 20 pct higher than Libor – because the firms failed to mend their ways. Regulators are seeking yet tougher internal controls. Banks have a last chance to show they can treat clients fairly.
UK banks have much to fear from latest probe
Britain's top antitrust watchdog has warned lenders to expect a full-blown competition investigation. Forced divestments would be a surprising outcome. But given the persistence of concern in spite of past probes, investors should brace for radical, profit-sapping remedies.
HSBC looks like best of a bad bunch
Scale, diversification and good management helped HSBC only so much in 2011. There were bright spots in Asia and parts of the investment bank. But the impact of the euro zone crisis was more powerful. While HSBC is bigger and better, it is, after all, still a bank.
HSBC held back by developed-world headaches
The bank's earnings are strong enough to absorb a $2 billion charge for mis-selling in the UK and money-laundering in the U.S. After HSBC's sub-prime woes, it's another reputational stain. Yet the setback will only reinforce the bank's strategic shift to emerging markets.
StanChart joins banking march into mire
New York regulators accuse the UK-based lender of covering up $250 bln of sanctions-busting transactions with Iran. It's a big setback for one of the last global banks to have dodged financial and legal woes. Even just a fine for StanChart will leave the industry lacking halos.

News & Events
A Musical Evening with David Phelps+
Grammy and Dove award-winning tenor David Phelps, a prominent member of the Gaither Vocal Band, was the featured guest. His hour-long concert was the highlight of the evening, and the audience responded numerous times with cheers and standing ovations. David's daughters, Callie and Maggie Beth, joined him on stage, as well as his trumpet-playing sister, Carrie, and his wife's keyboard/harmonica/strings-playing cousin, Jack Daniels. Phelps told the enthusiastic crowd he loves to travel and sing, but he especially loves the connection with the audience where he "can share what the Lord has taught me. We are all on a journey…we are not done yet." David continued, "Life is full of stories. At times, you get misty, then the sun comes out. Other times you get a deluge and feel moments of desolation. Then you find a trust and a power you didn't know existed, and you realize you love your beautiful life."
The concert and program culminated the evening, which began with an earlier reception. Those with deluxe reservations enjoyed hors d'oeuvres on the veranda and lobby of the Wright Center, where they mingled and had photo opportunities with David Phelps. Later, guests gathered for a sumptuous buffet dinner held under a 5,200 square foot white tent. The sunset event was beautifully decorated with candlelit black lanterns, white hydrangeas and an abundance of magnolia leaves. Burlap ribbon adorned the napkins and large white draperies forming columns around the tented arena.
The generosity of our sponsors contributed greatly to the success of the event and the endowment of the new Legacy League Centennial Scholarship.

I have thin, fine, color-treated hair and I have went from hairspray to hairspray for years and could never find the right one for me. Well I finally found this one and WOW! It has a pleasant smell, never offensive, holds well without stiffness and doesn't dry my hair out like all the other ones I've used in the past. Please don't ever discontinue this product. I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I couldn't live without it!
I too have a lot of EXTREMELY fine hair, always have. I've tried brand to brand...including the salons, and have NEVER found any other that compares to the quality that this does. For example, I wash it each morning, style it and DON"T touch it until I wash it the following day. Granted, it's two and a half times the price as others but am willing to sacrifice the money BECAUSE of the hold and fresh looking results at the end of every day; in fact I RARELY have a "bad hair day"...how's that for a nudge to try it?
*TIP: I've found that it's never out of stock...almost $2.00 cheaper online...shipped free to my W. store, ready for me to pick up each week I go to the grocers.
I ordered this via internet because the store stock was always low or out of stock. Ordering over the internet is great. It took one day for the order to arrive, which I thought was great. I've done the same with some other sundries items and they all arrived quickly.
hope this will help walmart to continue stocking nexxus products..this hairspray holds great and is not damaging to hair..spray once and u are set for a style to last all day.
I bought this product for my wife and she loves it and the price as well.
I bought this after reading the reviews and thought it would be exactly what I needed. The only volume achieved by using it was from static. I also think the smell of the hairspray is one of the worst smelling sprays I have ever used. Of course the ease of use was high because it is not hard to remove cap, point at hair, and spray.
This styling mist is WONDERFUL!! It's not sticky,doesn't leave a residue and never flakes!! It adds volume to my thin curly hair and keeps it under control without giving me "helmet head."
This mist was amazing,It held my style forever.I have looked a long time for a product to do what this does
I LOVE this product. It is very light, however it gives my hair so much body and hold. I have very fine, thin hair. I have to use products that really work. This really works. It lasts a good part of the day (longer than any other hairspray I've tried). It is obviously a little pricey, but so worth it! I will not go back to anything else. Oh, one more thing. It really only takes a few sprays. I don't feel like I'm having to use 1/2 the can to get my hair to do what I want. One more thing, it smells good...not too strong! I know you will enjoy it as much as I do.
Great product, I have curly hair and helps to keep hair in place.
It holds extremely well while being very natural looking. Doesn't dry hair out. Very easy to style with and can comb through.
Maxximum super hold styling mist Thank u thank u thank u IO love I will not use anything else please do not discontinue this ever !!!!
I love the way it makes my hair look and feel. Thanks
I have thick, coarse hair - tends to get frizzy during humid weather. This hairspray doesn't make your hair feel stiff & I haven't had frizz while using it!! Love it!!! Recommend it to all of my co-workers! And - with the economy today & everyone pinching pennies - Nexxus is great value! You get what you pay for!!!
This product works great on dark hair. No dulling or white flakes.
This is by far the best hairspray ever. You do not need much to get the desired hold and it doesn't make your hair look like it's coated. I am a hairdresser and have thick coarse hair myself. I have tried every hairspray I can possibly try-professional and off the drug store shelf. I get complements on my hair daily now. Every single day.
Love this product. It's nothing like other hairsprays. Others spray unevenly and stick, this one is totally opposite. It doesn't get clogged. Smells great!!
This is the best hairspray available. It holds well, but is not sticky like all the others.
This is the best hairspray that I have used in a long time. Superb hold without the net feeling. AWESOME!
I love this product!! By far, the best hairspray I've ever used. I have very thin hair that's difficult to style. Other hairsprays don't hold as well, or last as long. But this product helps me maintain my style the entire day. Plus, it doesn't have an overbearing fragrance like some others (that I refer to as "smelling like Raid").

Vincent Price, Ian Ogilvy. A 17th-century British witch hunter during the time of Cromwell's reign travels the English countryside as he does his dirty work for the strict purpose of lining his pockets. Completely taking advantage of the civil strife, he terrorizes people and bends them to his will, forcing confessions from witches" until a military officer risks treason to seek revenge against him. 1968/color/86 min/NR.
By consensus, Vincent Price's finest performance among his gallery of horror-movie rogues comes in Witchfinder General, the intense 1968 film that erased any hint of camp from the actor's persona. Price plays Matthew Hopkins, a sadistic 17th-century "witchfinder" who uses barbaric methods to identify (and invariably execute) supposed witches. Along with Price's disciplined work, Witchfinder is also the best film by the talented and ill-fated director Michael Reeves, who was only 24 when he shot the movie. Blessed with a great feeling for English landscapes and an eye for blackly telling details (peasants roasting potatoes in the ashes of a burned witch), Reeves was clearly a promising filmmaker, who died in 1969 from a drug overdose. The most vivid thing about Witchfinder General is the way it explicitly links paranoia and witch-hunting to misogyny, and how female sexual energy is seen by the ruling order as a threat. The final sequence is perhaps the most harrowing fade-out of any Sixties horror picture, and offers no comforting resolution.
Included on the Witchfinder package is a disc of three featurettes: a half-hour bio, the 12minute Art of Fear that looks at his horror work (with the expected focus on the other films in this box set), and a 15minute piece on other actors working with Price (although these actors are not interviewed, just the gallery of experts who speak in the other docs). The Witchfinder disc includes a valuable backgrounder on the movie, including the story behind the original U.S. release of the film, titled The Conqueror Worm (to cash in on Price's connection to Edgar Allan Poe works, which this is not), plus a commentary with producer Philip Waddilove and Michael Reeves' favored leading man, Ian Ogilvy. --Robert Horton

I received the "mouse" as a joke at Christmas, but turns out I loved it some much I ordered two more for my office. Works Great!
I bought this mouse wrist rest at least 3 years ago and I still use it everyday at work. My wrist was bothering after long days at work so I tried one of those gel wrist rests and found it too hard and inflexible to provide much relief. This wrist rest actually has some give to it since its like a little bean bag and I haven't had any wrist issues since I bought it. This mouse is adorable, inexpensive and durable! Definitely worth it.

Phase I trial to determine the safety of transplanting stem cell-derived retinal cells
Phase I trial to determine the safety of transplanting stem cell-derived retinal cells for people with Stargardt Macular Degeneration
We are conducting Europe's first clinical trial looking at the safety of injecting retinal cells, derived from embryonic stem cells, into the eyes of patients with Stargardt macular dystrophy.
The cells being injected are retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells that were grown from human embryonic stem cells in a dish, by the American company Advanced Cell Technology Inc.
This trial involves patients who are already severely visually impaired and is designed to show whether the injection of these cells is safe - future studies will be required to determine if cell transplantation can restore sight.
- Cell transplantation and stem cell therapy for sight loss
- Visit the EyeTherapy information hub for more details on the clinical trial of stem cell-derived retinal cells in Stargardt disease and how we are developing cell transplantation for sight loss.
