This invention relates to a photodetector sensor system which is used to distinguish the motion of specific items relative to a background scene.
For maximum usefulness such a system may need to provide an image of the observed scene in which the background remains stationary, while the motion of an object, or target, is sensed, or to provide an image in which the object, or target, is perceived as stationary with respect to a moving background.
Two lines of prior development pioneered by the assignee of the present application, in the field of photodetector imaging, may usefully be discussed as part of the background information. However, while the usefulness of the present invention will be most fully realized by combining it with those prior developments, such combining is not mandatory. In other words, the present invention has broader potential usefulness.
The first prior line of development by the common assignee is generally called the "Z" technology. This refers to the fact that a focal plane containing a two-dimensional (X and Y) photodetector array is provided on the face of a module, which contains large amounts of electronic processing capacity. The body of the module comprises stacked circuit-carrying layers which lie in planes perpendicular to the focal plane. The dimension of the module perpendicular to the focal plane is its "Z" dimension. Because separate preamplifiers and filters may be included for each detector or picture element, the efficiency of the electronic processing circuitry is dramatically enhanced, and the number of back plane lead-out conductors is drastically reduced.
The second prior art line of development by the common assignee is termed "dynamic stare", because it combines the benefits of staring sensor systems with the benefits of scanning systems. This concept is disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,675,532, issued June 23, 1987. That patent discusses the usefulness of a combined staring and scanning system in distinguishing a target from its background, both when the target appears to be moving and the background appears to be stationary, and when the background appears to be moving and the target appears to be stationary. In that patent, reference is made to "spatial filters", which respond to the high frequency signals sensed by the scanning motion, and to "temporal filters", which respond to the synchronously demodulated low frequency signals sensed by the same photodetectors. The output signals from the combined system are integrated by storing of repeated pixel signals at a given temporal filter.
In order to provide motion compensation for target vs. background discrimination, the present invention uses intermediate busing circuitry to provide real time image displacement between the input image plane and the output image plane.
If spatial and temporal filters are used, as in U.S. Pat. No. 4,675,532, the shifting of the signals to displace the image preferably occurs between the spatial filters and the temporal filters. In other words, the input objective image plane is electronically represented at the spatial filters, and the displaced output image plane is electronically represented at the temporal filters. The electrical connections between the two image planes are provided by parallel intermediate buses, whose signals are determined by a switching system under the control of an input representing the image displacement vector, perhaps from an inertial measurement unit.
Broadly, the present invention, on a real time basis, inputs an array of analog voltages, spatially shifts the array, and places the shifted array of analog voltages into an array of holding filters, or bins. Thus a given pixel in the output array may represent the integrated signals of a spatially displaced series of pixels in the objective scene, the result being to render stationary some element, or group of elements, in the objective scene.

FIG. 1 shows in diagrammatic form a plurality of image planes, and the intervening mechanical or electronic components which may be used between those planes, in order to accomplish the purposes of the present invention. The system in FIG. 1 incorporates the "dynamic stare" concepts, which are much preferred, but not mandatory, in conjunction with the present invention.
Image planes, as the term is used here, either exist optically as fields of energy, or exist electronically as arrays of voltages stored in various places. A key relationship shown in FIG. 1 involves (a) an image plane 20, (b) electronic components indicated by box 22 entitled "parallel analog switches", and (c) an image plane 24. As shown by the arrows, the signals move from image plane 20, through electronic switching circuitry 22, to image plane 24. Image plane displacement occurs during this signal transfer, under control of an image displacement vector 26 emanating from a focal plane control unit 28.
The remaining units in the system of FIG. 1 may be described as an object plane 30, which represents the viewed scene, a scanner 32 (optional, but desirable), and optical apparatus 34, which transfer the optical information from object plane 30 to a focal plane image 36 which is received by a photodetector array 38. The photodetector elements in array 38 convert the incoming optical energy into electronic energy for subsequent processing. The detector array 38 is preferably (but not necessarily) a two-dimensional array (along X and Y axes), of the type used in staring detector arrays. Each detector provides a separate channel, which preferably has a focal plane preamplifier into which the detector output is fed.
As previously explained, the present invention serves the purpose of receiving the array of analog voltages from the detectors, and, after shifting the position of that array by switching means, transfering the shifted array to an array of holding bins. Various choices of means are available for inputing, shifting, and then holding, such an array. In FIG. 1, the pre-shift array is shown as an array of spatial filters 40, and the post-shift array is shown as an array of temporal filters 42. The terms "spatial filter" and "temporal filter", which were explained above, have proved to be convenient terminology in describing the operations of the dynamic stare arrangement. As stated above, the detailed description of that arrangement is provided in U.S. Pat. No. 4,675,532.
Because of the usefulness of these terms in discussing a dynamic stare system, the image plane 20 is labeled "spatial filter output image plane", and the image plane 24 is labeled "temporal filter input image plane".
The dashed lines in FIG. 1 indicate the preferred extent of electronics located at the focal plane in a Z-technology module. While the concepts of the present invention are not limited to such focal plane modules, as a practical matter it would be extremely difficult to obtain the real time image plane displacement result of the present invention without the use of Z-technology, which provides extensive electronic processing capabilities contiguous to the detector array.
The "off-focal plane" items illustrated in FIG. 1 include, at the output end, a focal plane output image 44, which is transmitted to other electronic processing equipment, and, at the input end, a scan control unit 46, and an inertial measurement unit 48. The scan control unit 46, as the arrows indicate, outputs information to the scanner 32, and to the focal plane control unit 28. The inertial measurement unit outputs motion information to the focal plane unit 28. Various other types of input information to the focal plane control unit may be used, e.g., a priori knowledge of scene motion, mechanical gimbal motion transducers, etc.
As stated above, the use of Z-technology is recommended in conjunction with the present invention. FIG. 2 provides a very simple illustration of the Z-technology concept. A three-dimensional module 50 includes separately formed circuit-carrying layers 52 which, after being stacked and glued together, are provided on the front, or focal plane, of the module with a two-dimensional array 54 of photodetectors. In one direction (X axis) the closely spaced detectors are located on the surfaces of individual layers, and feed their signals into parallel channels. In the other direction (Y axis) the detectors are spaced by the thickness of the layers. At the back plane, which is spaced from the focal plane by the Z dimension, a plurality of electrical conductors 56 are used to provide busing connections used both for internal and for external signalcarrying purposes.
FIG. 3, which is similar to FIG. 2 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,675,532, shows the focal plane (Z-technology) processing of signals in a dynamic stare system, which is desirable, but not mandatory, in conjunction with the present invention. In the figure, two detectors are shown, each indicated by the numeral 60. One is designated "Detector 1", and the other is designated "Detector n(d)", indicating that any desired number (n) of detectors can be connected in parallel in the circuitry. The output of each detector is input to its own preamp 62, often referred to as a transimpedance amplifier (TIA).
Each detector 60 has a plurality of inputs, or sequential signal samples, 64, two of which are shown. One is designated "Pixel data 1-1" and the other is designated "Pixel data 1-n", indicating that a plurality (n) of such signal sources are sequentially providing inputs to a single detector. (The value of "n" for the number of detectors is not related to the value of "n" for the number of separate inputs to each detector).
Each preamp 62 directs its output to a high-pass filter 66, the number of which equals the number of detectors. The filter 66 acts as a "spatial" filter, which passes relatively high frequency signals.
From each spatial filter 66, a plurality of parallel output leads provide inputs to a plurality of parallel bandpass filters 68. Each filter 68 acts as a "temporal" filter, which passes signals having much lower frequencies than those passed by the spatial filter 66. One spatial filter 66 is shown connected to two parallel temporal filters 68 which are designated "Band-pass filter 1-1" and "Band-pass filter 1-n(f)", respectively. Another spatial filter 66 is also shown connected to two parallel temporal filters 68 which are designated "Band-pass filter n(d)-1" and "Band-pass filter n(d)-n(f)", respectively.
The term "spatial filter" is used to signify that the electronic signals which are passed through each filter 66 are caused by different radiation inputs across space, i.e., inputs which provide signal pulses as a result of radiation variations between different locations in the field of view. The scanning process, in effect, converts spatial variations into sequential signals which enter each filter 66.
The term "temporal filter" is used to signify that the electronic signals which are passed through each of the parallel filters 68 are caused by different radiation inputs across time, but from the same point in space, i.e., inputs which provide signal pulses as a result of radiation variations caused by the elapsing of time. This is the normal property of staring sensors, which are represented in the present disclosure by the integrating properties of the individual filters 68, each of which is caused to receive inputs from a selected source in the viewed scene.
The concept that each temporal filter 68 is "dedicated" to a particular pixel 64 is a fundamental aspect of "dynamic staring". Filter logic control circuitry is indicated diagrammatically at 70. It has separate electrical leads 72 to each temporal filter 68. A clocking system is used to cause each temporal filter 68 to receive input signals from its detector 60 only during a fraction [1/n(f)] of the time. In other words, each detector is "time-shared" by a plurality of parallel filters; and each such filter is "on" for a percentage of the total time inversely proportional to the number of such filters connected to a given detector.
The scanning operation will cause a plurality of input signals from separate sources (pixels) to "time-share" a given detector. Synchronization under clock control will cause each parallel filter 68 to "view" the same input signal source at all times, thereby permitting a particular filter to "stare" at a particular source. Each temporal filter 68 outputs to a multiplexer 74, whose output is shown leading out of the Z module.
FIG. 4 shows diagrammatically the parallel analog switching circuitry which, in the present invention, is interposed between the spatial filters 66 and the temporal filters 68 of FIG. 3. In FIG. 4, great liberties are taken with the illustration in order not to clutter it. A higher layer 80 of the module (usually a silicon chip) and a somewhat lower layer 82 are shown. (In an actual module, the intervening space would be filled with layers). A segment of a detector array is shown on the focal plane, comprising a plurality of individual detectors 84. Each detector 84 has its own channel leading to its individual preamplifier 86.
The remaining elements on each of the layers 80 and 82 are spatial filters 88 (also identified by the letters SF), temporal filters 90 (also identified by the letters TF), and many switches 92. The switching network preferably consists of MOSFET transistors which are enabled and disabled in response to logic input signals.
The layout of spatial filters (SF) and temporal filters (TF) in FIG. 4 is not realistic, because each SF will be in a channel containing a detector and preamplifier, whereas the TFs will be located wherever real estate is available, e.g., near the rear of the layers, or interleaved with the SFs. Because it is generally desirable to oversample (by scanning) with each detector, it is assumed that the number of TFs will exceed the number of SFs. For example, the present illustration contemplates a 4-to-1 ratio of TFs to SFs.
A vital element of the present invention is the "intermediate busing" system which cooperates with the switching network to cause the desired image motion compensation. An intermediate bus is identified by the numeral 94. In an actual module, 16 of these vertically extending intermediate buses 94 might be used. Output buses are also required, one of which is shown at 96. In an actual module, 16 of these vertically extending output buses 96 might be used, interspersed with the 16 intermediate buses.
At any given instant, the switching network will cause a single SF to be electrically connected to a single TF. For example, in FIG. 4, the SF 88a is connected via closed switch 92a to the intermediate bus 94; and the TF 90a is connected via closed switches 92b and 92c to the intermediate bus 94. All other switches in the figure are open. Each successive signal transfer from a given SF to a given TF is controlled by the switching network, and is multiplexed by the intermediate bus.
The words "Series-Parallel Analog Switching" in the title of this application refer to the facts that: (a) there are several intermediate buses operating simultaneously (in parallel), and (b) each intermediate bus provides an instantaneous connection between a given SF and a given TF, in a manner much like a "serial data bus" in digital computers. By arranging the timing of switch closures in the SF switches in this figure, and the timing of TF switches, any desired vector displacement can be obtained, i.e., any number of chips down or up, and any number of pixels right or left. The system is run by addressing each SF attached to a bus one after the other, and simultaneously addressing TFs one after the other.
FIG. 5 is useful in understanding the arrangements of the detectors, pixels, and buses, as they relate to the detector focal plane and its scan-produced input signals. The stacked layers, or chips, are labeled Chip 1, Chip 2, Chip 3, etc. The vertical buses are identified by uppercase letters A, B, C, etc. Each bus is intended to address four spatial filters (SFs) on any of many chips, each of which SFs is associated with a separate detector. These SF-detector combinations are each labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4, each group of four being separated from the next group of four by a vertical dashed line in the figure. The temporal filters (TFs) are labeled with the lowercase letters a, b, c and d. This is based on the assumption of a 2 to 1 oversampling in each axis (X and Y) by means of a scanner. The numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 are repeated at each region served by a separate bus. The letters a, b, c and d are repeated at every detector location.
The term "pixel" may signify different elements of the scene in different image planes. It essentially refers to each small unit of the many units which, in the aggregate, constitute an image plane. Because of the transfer of data between the SFs and TFs due to the switching network and intermediate buses, a given pixel on the TF image plane 24 (FIG. 1) can receive, and integrate, signals from a series of different pixels on the focal plane image 36 (FIG. 1). Also, the practice has been adopted of calling the detector units 1, 2, 3 and 4 (FIG. 5) "pixels", and the scanned image plane samples a, b, c and d at each detector (FIG. 5) "sub-pixels". Each subpixel corresponds to a unique temporal filter.
Any detector, or SF, can be addressed by a bus letter (A, B, C, etc.), a chip number (chip 1, chip 2, chip 3, etc.), and a pixel number (1, 2, 3 or 4). Any TF can be PG,15 addressed by a bus letter, a chip number, a pixel number (1, 2, 3 or 4), and a sub-pixel letter (a, b, c or d).
FIG. 6 illustrates the means for generating the TF address, which is accomplished by adding (or subtracting) the displacement factor at any time D(t) from the instantaneous SF address. As the spatial filter address counter counts up, it generates a raster on each intermediate bus, such that the spatial filters are connected to the intermediate bus one after the other in a raster fashion for the region served by that bus. Since there is a region like this for each bus, all buses are operating in parallel from the same "relative" spatial filter. In other words, there are, say, 16 spatial filters hooked up to 16 intermediate buses at one time. Each of these spatial filters occupies the same relative position in the region served by its intermediate bus. At the same time, the temporal filter address is running along at a set distance of displacement from the spatial filter address. A counter 100, operated by a clock 102, outputs pulses to the SF address circuitry, and also to an adder/subtracter 104. The latter combines the pulses from the counter with the displacement vector signals, in order to control the TF address circuitry.
FIG. 7 illustrates a circuit layout arrangement of the type which might be used on the layers, or chips, of an electronic module designed for use in the present invention. A chip 110 has a plurality of parallel cells 112 formed on it. If there are 16 intermediate buses, as there are in this typical design, there will be 16 identical circuits (or cells) 112 on the chip. The cells are identified as cell 1 through cell 16 in FIG. 7, which is a simplified chip block diagram. All 16 cells operate identically at the same time from parallel addresses being generated by the logic shown at the lower edge of the chip. Logic block 114 controls the instantaneous SF address, and logic block 116 controls the instantaneous TF address.
The SF logic block 114 has multiple address connections going to each cell via circuitry 118, and multiple address connections going to each cell via circuitry 120. The TF logic block 116 has multiple address connections going to each cell via circuitry 122, and multiple address connections going to each cell via circuitry 124. SF clocks are connected to each cell via circuitry 126; and TF clocks are connected to each cell via circuitry 128. Each cell 112 is shown receiving four parallel (separate) detector inputs at 130, each of which is in a channel having its own TIA (amplifier) and its own SF. Each channel 112 has two bus connections: an intermediate bus connection 132 and an output bus connection 134.
FIG. 8 is a simplified block diagram of a single cell 112. Four parallel detector signals are shown entering at 130. Each detector channel has its own TIA (block 136) and its own SF (block 138). The output signals from the four channels are timed by logic and switching circuitry (SF multiplexer block 140), under the control of an SF output select 142 common to all cells (on all chips in one module). Connection of the SF output signals to the intermediate bus 132 passes through two switches: an SF chip enable switch 143, and a 3-way bus select switch 144. As its name indicates, switch 143 determines which of the chips has an SF circuit closed. The purpose of switch 144 is to permit selection of the bus shown in the figure or either of the adjacent parallel buses (to the right or left of the bus shown). This feature permits continuation of the vector displacement motion from bus to bus. If switch 144 is in its upper closed position it interconnects conductors 146 and 148; if it is in its center closed position it interconnects conductors 150 and 148; and if it is in its lower closed position it interconnects conductors 152 and 148. Switch 144 is controlled by a bus select 154, which is common to all cells (on all chips in one module). Included in the TF conductor is a TF enable switch 149, which determines whether the particular chip has one of its TFs in the instantaneous closed circuit.
Input signals to the TFs in each cell are timed by a TF demultiplexer (block 156), which has 16 channels enabled and disabled under control of a TF input select bus 158, which is common to all cells (on all chips in one module). Each incoming signal is thus selectively transferred to, and stored at, one of the 16 TFs (block 160). The stored TF voltages (charges) are multiplexed onto the output bus line 134, under the control of an output multiplexer (block 162), which is itself controlled by an output select 164 common to all cells (on all chips in one module).
For the arrangement illustrated in these figures, an arbitrary decision has been made to partition the image plane into 16 long, thin subregions. This facilitates image-motion-compensation for certain "push broom" camera applications; while it does not preclude the possibility of using the image-motion-compensation for random linear scanning.
FIG. 9 goes a step further in providing detailed information, by illustrating schematically a possible switching network in each cell. As stated above, MOSFET transistors are the preferred switching devices. SF switches 1 and 2 are shown at the top of the figure; and SF switches 3 and 4 are shown at the bottom of the figure. The detector signals are shown as inputs to the SFs. The SF chip enable switch 143 determines whether one of the SFs on the particular chip is enabled. The bus select switch 144 is shown as having left, right, and center switches.
There are 16 TFs shown in FIG. 9. Three switches in series must be enabled to transfer the instantaneous signal to one of the 16 TFs: (a) the TF enable switch 149; (b) one of the four TF pixel select switches marked 1, 2, 3 and 4; and (c) one of the four TF subpixel select switches marked a, b, c and d, and included in the same circuit as the enabled TF pixel select switch. If all switches in the circuit which includes one of the TFs are closed, a charge from the incoming SF address will be added to the charges previously stored at the particular TF address. Successive (but time spaced) charges at each TF will integrate to improve the stored signal. At the appropriate time, as determined by the clocked logic system, the charge stored at a given TF will be connected to the output bus line 134 through one of the 16 switches shown at the left of the figure.
From the foregoing description, it is apparent that the TFs, or bins, which provide output signals from the modules, can be changed from looking at one focal plane pixel to looking at another focal plane pixel. And this is a means of adjusting the image to the motion of the target, or of any other feature in the observed scene. For example, it can be used to make the target appear stationary, even though it is actually moving. Or it can be used to keep the background stationary in the output image plane. So, essentially what is being done is switching the temporal filters from pixel to pixel in response to some kind of need, in order to gain maximum understanding of the incoming information. With the present invention, it is feasible to compensate for image motion due to platform movement, image motion due to target motion, image motion due to background motion, etc. Any of those motions can be compensated for electronically, by putting the proper offset command into the parallel analog switches, so that the temporal filters appear to be getting a nearly stationary image.
The integration of the pixel information over a significant period of time is valuable, because the integration causes the signal to rise above the level of noise. The noise is not integrated effectively, because it is random.
As previously stated, the primary reason for motion compensation is to render the effective velocity of some feature, or set of features, in the image, zero, e.g., either the target velocity or the background velocity may be rendered zero. If the target velocity is zero, that means energy is being taken from the target, as it moves across the focal plane, on different detectors at different times. But regardless of which detector that target energy comes into, the signal generated by it will go to the same temporal filter. If that temporal filter is an integrator, or a low pass filter, the signal from the target will build up much faster than any noise, or any background data. If the background velocity is caused to appear zero, by compensating for the background motion, high pass filters are used to detect targets, which appear then to be moving against a stationary background. In other words, after using the switching system to image-motion-compensate the background, an apparently stationary background scene is observed, in which anything moving with respect to it stands out by virtue of the high pass filters on each pixel.
In both cases, target or background motion compensation, a separate source of knowledge of the motion of the target or background must be utilized, in order to accomplish the compensation.
Important benefits of the image plane displacement switching system of the present invention are that it is accomplished (a) in real time, and (b) prior to multiplexing the signals which come off the focal plane circuitry.
From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that the apparatus and method disclosed in this application will provide the significant functional benefits summarized in the introductory portion of the specification.
The following claims are intended not only to cover the specific embodiments disclosed, but also to cover the inventive concepts explained herein with the maximum breadth and comprehensiveness permitted by the prior art.

As voting for the award nears an end, an early poll by the organisers show that one of the two continental heroes are almost certain to be crowned the best of South America
A poll conducted by El Pais, the prize's organisers since 1986, signalled the two young forwards as the leading contenders, after both helped their teams to continental glory in the year.
Neymar was a key part of the Santos team which lifted the Copa Libertadores and also reached the Club World Cup final against Barcelona, also winning the Paulista Championship with his team and forcing his way to a starting position with Brazil at 19 years old.
Vargas, meanwhile, scored 11 times in Universidad's Copa Sudamericana campaign, including three goals in the final has his club topped Liga de Quito and secured their first ever continental trophy. He appears set to move to Napoli in 2012, having already agreed a transfer to Italy.
According to the poll, the leaders are followed by a group of nine players still with an outside chance. Boca Juniors stars Juan Roman Riquelme and Rolando Schiavi feature, as does Universidad goalkeeper Johnny Herrera and Neymar's Santos and Brazil team mate Ganso.
The prize will be announced on December 31, the winner succeeding Internacional's Argentine playmaker Andres D'Alessandro who was honoured in 2010.

Pattern Design: Only four pattern pieces! An A-line skirt is a skirt that is fitted at the waist and top of the hips and widens towards the hem, giving the impression of the shape of a capital letter A. Our pattern features back waist darts, a side regular dress zip inserted in a laped style and the waist is finished with a facing. If you like a close fitted skirt, this is the sturdy zip for you! Our pattern waist measurement covers from a 68cm to 103cm. If you wish to make a skirt outside this range, please email us and we will grade a pattern ready for your workshop.
For a more challenging A Line Skirt, you might like the A Line Skirt with Princess Seams for Intermediates.
Photographed Sample: Made in a denim, that fabric's structure accentuates the shape of this skirt.
Styling Ideas & Notes On Supplies: This skirt will work in a huge variety of fabrics. Through fabric choice you can make it for warmer or cooler months. Light to medium weight fabrics will have more drape and not be as structured as the denim sample. This pattern is not suitable for knit fabrics. This pattern does not include a lining, take this into consideration when choosing your fabrics and avoid scratchy/itchy material. For directional prints, large prints and fabrics with nap you should purchase extra fabric. For best results - pre-wash your fabric to reduce shrinkage.

Spring Cleaning: 11 Houston Acts That Should Be On Your Radar
Michelle Miears of MIEARS
Photo by Jason McElweenie
The perennial link between spring and fertility need not be explored yet again here, except to point out that it's an especially opportune moment to look around and take stock, yet again, of the homegrown musical bounty that Houston enjoys. With that in mind, the Houston Press asked several of our regular Music contributors to send us a few lines about whatever local act they happen to be digging the most at the moment. It would be incorrect to call all of the following artists "new" — some of them, more than others, have been bouncing around the Bayou City for quite a while now — but not to say that all of them deserve a listen or two with fresh ears.
You could set your clocks to bands like Dead Time, KA, and Milk Leg, but some of the time you might arrive places too early, at other times too late. Fortunately, time is not a factor, as daddy doesn't make the rounds these days so much as hover in the murk, mouth agape like some kind of free-floating appetite possessed of only a partially developed central nervous system. As much of a dead-end prospect as Houston is for most groups, there's been a remarkable drought of fun new bands of an anti-commercial nature for some long time, and now, the deluge. Squealing and blatting and snarling and scraping scabs and crusts off the 60-thread-count sheets of modern comforts might make for an uneasy set at the local gastropub, but happily there's more to a voluntary stay in this giant petrochemical lunatic asylum than beer and burgers. The raw stuff is medicine, the more astringent, the better. TEX KERSCHEN
The most famous line of T.S. Eliot's most complex poem, The Waste Land, "April is the cruellest month," could be applied to most emo music. However, for Houston's own Football, etc. this spring has proven to be plentiful. Their latest album Corner is slated for a release in May off Community Records. I caught the trio live for the first time last month at Satellite Bar and immediately was taken aback to the early aughts, when gauge earrings and heavy black eyeliner were prime fashion standards. I was impressed with the throwback chord progressions and confessional-style lyrics from singer Lindsay Minton as well as the engaging performances from drummer Daniel Hawkins and bassist Mercy Harper. Get ready to rock all the feels for the upcoming emo revival. VERONICA A. SALINAS
Michelle Miears has captivated many fans with one of the most distinct and identifiable voices in the Houston music scene. Whether performing as a solo artist under the moniker of MIEARS or with acclaimed band BLSHS, she is committed to making concertgoers feel her words through the thoughtful lyrics and steady gaze during her live performances. With the recent release of her solo debut, Who Will Save You?, the multi-talented Miears has once again thrilled local music fans by performing and producing the entire EP herself. Expect to start hearing more of a buzz as Free Press Summer Fest draws near as greater exposure to a larger and younger crowd beckons for Houston's synth-pop queen. JACK GORMAN
Arising from a musical gene pool that includes Commie Hilfiger, Bury the Crown, Bitter Taste and Nine Minutes, among others, Patterns (or Patterns HTX) originally took shape as a recording project of Girth brothers Ryan and Erik. With a couple more friends helping out, last December they issued Like Ships to Sirens, a breakneck 34-minute tour of the gnarlier guitar-rock genres that usually come packaged under the suffix "core." Despite the relatively brief running time, Sirens squeezes enough tortured vocals, frantic rhythms and heat-seeking riffs into its nine songs that it feels like a much longer record. It also feels like playing these songs live, which they will during Friday's "Girthday" extravaganza at Satellite Bar (although soon-to-be-groom Ryan Girth has since left the group to focus on matrimonial matters), must be exhausting. CHRIS GRAY
Rosewood Thievz carry a classy elegance not usually seen in a town famous for Tippin' and Sippin'. They can seemlessly move between cerebral hip-hop and buttery-smooth R&B without any disruption in mood or musicality. Yet if you ask them to define their sound, they'll sum it up in one word, "groove," which may indeed be the perfect response. Formed in 2012 in Third Ward, the diversely talented Killa Swami, Big Game James and Joe-yo release a vibe of earthy realness, a sapiosexual essence that's intoxicating to watch and compelling to hear. Brave enough to celebrate all facets of Southern sounds (even zydeco), Rosewood's music is continally surprising, but the trio is more than that, too. Active community members, they even do things like create historical video lessons with the Buffalo Soldier Museum. Rosewood Thievz are the kind of trio that only H-Town could create — a mix of alternative hip hop, funk, and groove played with a humid thickness that feels like the soundtrack of the Bayou City on a hot and steamy day.

Did you know that over 66 million suffer from arthritis or chronic joint pain? On average, this is roughly one of every three suffering from arthritis at this moment. This is almost as large as the population of Virginia. Times 10!
Do you think that chronic joint pain caused by arthritis is reserved for seniors? It is not limited to older ones. Arthritis affects people of all ages. There are nearly 300 000 children in America with some forms of arthritis or rheumatic diseases.
If you happen to be one of the lucky ones who do not currently suffer from arthritis, don't think it doesn't affect you. Arthritis costs the US economy $86.2 billion annually. This is not an error. The cost to our country in billions of dollars each year.
I know many people who live lives affected by arthritis and related diseases. My wife is one of those. Kim constantly shared experiences pain due to arthritis and lupus. She takes medication daily, and often visits the doctors and physical therapists to address the abuse. The surgery took place as in the past.
Do you know someone with arthritis? You might be surprised at what he has to go through to deal with abuse. You may be surprised too at up in everyday life.
I decided to make a difference. And became one of the volunteers "the Arthritis Foundation. National non profit organization which only supports more than 100 kind of arthritis and related conditions with advocacy, programs, services and research. They partner with organizations to provide training programmes and courses specifically for people with arthritis. They offer these programs in my hometown of Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Every year "the Arthritis Foundation" walks across the country to raise money and awareness. My team may, "pain", participate in "walking" This Fredericksburg arthritis. We helped raise over $33,000.00 Fredericksburg "Arthritis Foundation." I now have the honour of choosing as President the arthritis walk Fredericksburg in 2006.
I encourage you to honor this person known as arthritis to help with "walk arthritis in your area. Get your friends and coworkers involved as well. There are many ways to get involved. You will make new friends and have fun while you work to eliminate the # 1 cause of disability.

For Pat Atkinson, no amount of regulation for certain industries is enough (see here and here and here and here).
The former Saskatchewan cabinet minister says that a minister's job is to ensure his or her regulatory "agency provides real oversight" over its area of responsibility, "to not be a toady for any lobbyists" and "to act in the public interest, not in the interest of…any other special interest group."
Sounds like she supports a top-down enforcement solution when it comes to regulating industries and treating with special interests.
It's time for Wall to realize that his government is acting in a high-handed manner on a number of educational policy fronts. It's time for the premier to restore Saskatchewan's historic approach to public education.
The my-way-or-the-highway approach won't work.
Indeed. Given these intellectual cartwheels, it's no wonder she has yet to comment on these findings:
What happens when Saskatchewan's teachers break the rules?
Most are dedicated educators with flawless records. But a StarPhoenix investigation has revealed examples of teachers still allowed to teach after conduct that would shock most parents – and a disciplinary system some experts say is flawed.
In 10 cases over 18 months, Saskatchewan teachers engaged in behaviour serious enough to cost them their jobs.
Documents from a Freedom of Information request show that some teachers still have valid teaching certificates despite conduct such as slapping a student's buttocks, doing drugs at a party and driving impaired, and, in one case, a teacher uploading a nude picture of herself to the Internet.
Each case was referred to the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation (STF), an organization charged with both representing and disciplining Saskatchewan teachers. It chose not to sanction four of those 10 teachers.
This brings up a few questions.
Pat Atkinson was Saskatchewan's minister of education from 1993 to 1998. In that time period, how many teachers were cited for engaging in serious behaviour, and how many were fired and/or lost their licence?
Does Pat Atkinson still believe industries should not be self-regulating and, if so, will she call for third-party oversight of the education industry?
After all, it's the kids' safety at stake.
UPDATE: Pat Atkinson's first column after the expose on teacher regulation? An unoriginal, mealy-mouthed attack on public-private partnerships. You'd think a former education minister who has railed against "self-regulation" might have an opinion on the last week's call for third-party regulation in the education industry.

The concept itself is so human. That of the waiting room in a hospital. That of caretakers waiting with bated breath for someone to care for. And this midst, two people in the waiting room befriend themselves. The most unlikely two people find connection in their grief. In fact, they befriend each other enough to bicker and pick a fight with each other.
I am really looking forward to watch Kalki Koechlin and Naseeruddin Shah together. It so turns out that I am out on a vacation when Waiting releases and will be able to watch it only after I am back, hopefully the following Monday. Yes, the vacation will be fun, but I still am pulled towards feeling a little bad that I am missing it on first day. Yes, I love my job!

How to purge – and price – your garage-sale items – June 2013
How to price garage-sale items is the biggest challenge for most novice merchants. The key in determining pricing is to fairly assess the quality and condition of resale merchandise. PURGE. Start collecting your merchandise to sell by cleaning out attics, basements and closets. Pull out everything that hasn't been used in the past year. (Chances are they won't be used next year either.) Click to read more.
The Art of Garage Sale Bargaining – April 2013
People repeatedly ask where I shop to find such fabulous finds. The answer is … everywhere. Smart shopping is not whether you can find extraordinary things at local garage sales; rather it is a question of how and when you buy. Click to read more.
Penny-Pinching Potpurri: Thrifty Tips – February 2013
With the economy still sluggishly creeping along, more and more smart shoppers are making frugal decisions that meet their budgets. Here are 11 thrifty tactics.
Shop thrift. The resale industry is booming, and for a good reason. People are dressing in frugal chic and decorating their homes with secondhand finds. Over the years, upgrading, as your budget will allow, can allow you to amass many cherished treasures. Hunt around for gently used or unique items at estate and garage sales, auctions and thrift stores. Each venue offers a distinctive adventure and you just might find that the "hunt" is an exciting quest versus the banality of purchasing new. Additionally, there is the environmentally responsible aspect of rescuing or repurposing used treasures. The thrill of the hunt and the art of recognizing a good deal come with time, but the rewards can be great. Click to read more.
Repurpose, Recycle, Paint, Purge: A Home Mini-Makeover for 2013 – January 2013
While 2013 is still fresh, it's a good time to look around the house and see what needs doing. Homeowners can spiff up their dwellings while watching their budgets. Making better financial decisions while keeping an eye on our buying habits allows us to produce less waste and a live a richer life. Click to read more.
The Happy Marriage of Thrifting and Recycling – December 2012
Thrift stores and recycling go hand-in-hand. But consumers are often unaware that they can recycle a lot more than paper, glass and plastic. Here are three lesser-known recycling agencies that work alongside the thrift store industry. Click to read more.
These Thrift Shops Champion Community Outreach – October 2012
The community programs that benefit from most thrift stores may not be foremost in the minds of bargain-hunting shoppers.
Like many people, my early motivation to try "thrifting" was purely for the thrill of the hunt and the joy of snatching up fabulous items for a fraction of their original retail price. Click to read more.
Lessons From a Three-Stop Thrift Crawl – September 2012
Fifty women gathered in the parking lot of the ARC Thrift Store in Green Mountain in August for my first hosted Thrift Crawl.
I'd like to say that philanthropy and the desire to recycle and go green spawned this idea. But it actually came to me last year after my HOA complained, ad nauseam, about the cars and merriment surrounding my annual garage sale. Click to read more.
A Vendors Take on the Mile High Flea Market – August 2012
HENDERSON — Enthralled by the grandeur of Mile High Flea Market, I took the four-day challenge.
As a shopper and as a vendor, I visited this sprawling bazaar, farmers market and antiques fair northeast of Denver on a consecutive Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Click to read more.
A hot marketing campaign can mean the difference between a busy, lucrative yard sale or garage sale and an exhausting event that reaps scant profits.
Granted, many elements go into holding a successful garage sale: the purge, the sorting and the set-up, to name a few. But the pre-sale chore that many people pay too little attention to is effective promotion. Click to read more.
3 Entrepreneurs Make an Art out of Collecting, Recycling and Plant Sales – June 2012
Selling secondhand or recycled items isn't a novel idea. But here are three Denver entrepreneurs who have added a new twist to the resale game. Click to read more.
Thrift-Store and Garage-Sale Tips Prepare You for Big Finds – May 2012
Years ago, I thrift shopped with complete abandon. Little thought was given to equipment, packing material or how I would get my new-to-me treasures home.
Today, as yard sale, garage sale and outdoor market season ramps up, I plan, and I turn my vehicle into a well-stocked "thrift-mobile." Click to read more.
Denver Secondhand Store Molly's Closet Know Its Pluses – April 2012
Thanks to that annoying midlife weight gain, shopping can become a wearisome proposition for women with widening girths. Most second hand shops cater to younger, slighter women. Sure, I was that svelte gal once. As a fashion model walking the American runways in my 20's, I weighted 127 pounds and stood 5 feet 10 inches tall. I kept that shape until my mid-40's, when I hit the proverbial hormonal roller coaster, and a size 16. Click to read more.
Best Spots to Hunt for Seconhand Treasures – March 2012
Most of us have less cash to burn these days, so buying other folks' castoffs is a great way to save a few bucks.
The Internet, specialty shops, bookstores and going-out-of-business sales carry drastically reduced items that are especially good for occasional needs or events. Here are some of my go-to bargain hunting sites and stops. Click to read more.
As the economy spiraled downward and Americans tightened their belts, secondhand shops made a move onto Main Street.
Thrift shopping tends to increase during hard economic times, according to a recent Brigham Young University study. So it follows that secondhand shops are now among the fastest-growing outlets in the retail world, according to the Association of Resale Professionals. That trade group says the number of thrift stores has grown 7 percent a year over the past two years, with sales climbing 12 percent a year. Click to read more.
How to Live a Life of "RE" … Renew, Recycle and Restore!
October 3, 2010 by Barb
Filed under Decorating, Fashion, Garage Sales, Recycling
I began thrifting because it was fun and, quite frankly, I loved to shop. Okay, I still do. But, initially there was a deeper motivation for my need to haunt the secondhand shops that peppered my town … I was broke. I loved the fact that I could buy fabulous things for pennies on a dollar. It didn't take long for me to get hooked on the thrill of furnishing my homes or fashioning chic wardrobes found in thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets, consignment shops and auctions. I became a veteran power shopper, quickly falling in like with each venue I tested and every tarnished treasure I uncovered.
It wasn't until much later that I began to realize I was actually recycling, inadvertently turning into a green queen rather than adding to the burgeoning problem of waste in America.
It began to occur to me that how we dispose of our used goods was critical to the overall health of our planet. Although we are encouraged to recycle our wastes, the truth of the matter is that this country still leads the world in the amount of trash that it produces.
I was astounded to learn that Americans generate over 200 million tons of garbage every year. That didn't resonate until the EPA broke recycling figures down to the fact that each person produces about 4.5 pounds of solid waste per day! Yikes, that got my attention.
I thought that our country was pulling its weight in the recycling movement, but a full 67% of our junk is still tossed into landfills, while only 17% is recycled and 16% is burned as an energy source.
What really blew my mind was how much of our resources consume every year. The average person, over a lifetime, will use up;
- 411 trees
- 900 wire hangers
- 43,000 cans of soda
- 3,895 paper cups
- 2,025 rolls of paper towels
- 15,334 plastic water bottles
- 18,306 shopping bags
- 12 shopping carts full of wrappers from candy bars!
Recycling is certainly the answer for those that are intent on the greening of America, but only 17% of our nation has yet to establish an effective way to dispose of their used goods. According to the Wise Geek, 35% of the total material filling up landfills is packaging;
- new product wrapping
- fast-food containers
- office paper
- disposable diapers
- Styrofoam inserts
- and plastic bags
A partial answer to the country's recycling woes might be eased if more people proactively chose to purchase used goods from the wide variety of thrift venues that pepper our nation. Shopping for goods at these thrift outlets could all but alleviate the 67.9 pounds of used clothing each person tosses out every year. That individual number quickly adds up to a whopping 20 billion pounds of used clothing and textiles that make their way into our landfills yearly.
In the end it is up to us. Companies have little incentive to use recycled materials because it is expensive … a cost that is passed on to the consumer. It is simply cheaper for them to use new materials to make new products. Therefore, buying used clothing and household furnishings eliminates the time, energy, labor, and money that go into making new products.
In summation, buy less, buy used, reduce the amount of garbage we produce, chose items with less packaging, reuse what you have and donate items that are no longer needed.

John Abitz worked for Newt Marine Service in Dubuque, Iowa. He injured his right shoulder in 2013 and 2014. He was provided a doctor through Newt Marine's insurance company chosen by the company. He had surgery on his shoulder in 2014. In 2015 his doctor restricted him from lifting more than seventy-five pounds and stated that at this point it was a "permanent" restriction. However, the "Patient Visit Record" by the doctor for that appointment states that Abitz is doing well with little pain or weakness and there is no reason to do an MRI. He also indicated that the weight restriction could be lifted in a month or so and that Abitz had reached maximum medical improvement with his shoulder. Abitz had been approved for physical therapy, but his doctor claimed that therapy was no longer helping Abitz and canceled his remaining appointments.
Abitz denies his doctor's findings. He testified that he continues to experience chronic and increasing pain, as well as losing much of his arm strength. His sleep is also disrupted due to pain. Abitz said he could not lift seventy-five pounds as the doctor reported. He said he told his doctor that he still had pain and weakness. A week after this appointment the doctor gave a written statement that Abitz did not have any permanent restrictions. The doctor also lifted the weight restriction he had placed a week earlier. He assigned Abitz a three-percent permanent impairment to his upper extremity. The doctor felt he had reached maximum medical improvement and offered Abitz no further care.
A Petition Is Filed
Not satisfied with his medical treatment from the doctor, Abitz and his attorney filed a petition for alternate medical care. The Workers' Compensation Commissioner decided in favor of Abitz stating that Newt Marine failed to provide medical treatment reasonably suited to fully treat his work injuries. New Marine appeals.
The decision of the appeal was in favor of Abitz. The ruling was based on the effectiveness of the medical care. Abitz is without further treatment options through Newt Marine so it is justified that he can receive alternate medical care with a doctor that Abitz can choose himself.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Quorum Health Group, Inc. today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, which included record revenues and earnings. For the fiscal year, net operating revenue increased 98 percent over the previous year to $343,132,000, vs. net revenue of $173,219,000 a year ago. The large increase in net revenue primarily reflects the results of hospital acquisitions in fiscal year 1992 and the acquisition of Hospital Management Professionals, Inc. (HMP). Earnings before interest expense, minority ownership interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $56,259,000, a 145 percent increase over last year's EBITDA of $22,937,000. Net income was $14,299,000, which included an extraordinary loss from the retirement of debt in the amount of $1,591,000, net of income taxes. This represents an increase of 253 percent compared with net income of $4,048,000 for the previous fiscal year. Primary earnings per share rose 140 percent from $.15 last year to $.36 this fiscal year. Fully diluted earnings per share were $.34, which included $.03 per share for the extraordinary loss, compared with $.15 last year. "Quorum's revenue was expected to increase substantially this year because it was the first full year of operations with all of our acquired hospitals, but we are especially proud of the fact that we successfully controlled our costs during this period of rapid growth," said James E. Dalton Jr., president and chief executive officer of the Nashville-based hospital services company. "Total operating expenses only increased $137 million during a year in which net revenues rose $170 million." Three of Quorum's four owned hospitals were acquired during fiscal 1992, making fiscal 1993 the first full year to include their results in the company's operations. The hospitals are Concho Valley Regional Hospital, San Angelo, Texas; Park Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio; and Flowers Hospital, Dothan, Ala. Quorum also owns ParkView Regional Medical Center in Vicksburg, Miss. The company's management services subsidiary, Quorum Health Resources, Inc., acquired HMP in July 1992. Those results also are included for the first time in fiscal 1993's operations. "We are extremely pleased with the successful integration of HMP and Quorum Health Resources," said Dalton. "We maintained our excellent rate of contract retention and renewal of our existing hospital management contracts, and we had a very good year signing new management contracts and offering new services." For the fourth quarter, net operating revenue was $90,715,000, compared with revenue of $63,571,000 during the same quarter last year. EBITDA was $14,828,000 for the quarter, up from $9,415,000 during the same quarter a year ago. Primary earnings per share were $.10 and fully diluted earnings per share were $.09 for the quarter. In December 1992, Quorum Health Group issued $100 million in senior subordinated notes maturing in 2002. On Aug. 16, Quorum signed a definitive purchase agreement with Charter Medical Corporation (AMEX: CMD) under which an affiliate of Quorum Health Group will buy for $340 million the stock of Charter's subsidiaries that own 10 acute care hospitals and related assets. The transaction is expected on or before Sept. 30 and is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and obtaining certain regulatory approvals. Quorum Health Group, Inc. is a privately held firm that owns and operates acute care hospitals. Quorum Health Resources, Inc., a subsidiary, is the nation's largest hospital management company, with client hospitals throughout the United States. -0- 8/18/93 /CONTACT: Mike Wiley, 615-340-5735, or Sandy Anthony, 615-340-5737, both of Quorum Health Group/ (CMD)
