Hochman solos highlight IRIS concert
The IRIS Orchestra returned Saturday night for its first concert of 2014, a paean to mid-19th century works with a youthful bent.
The evening's first work was by Arthur Sullivan, best known for his collaborations with W.S. Gilbert: "The Mikado," "H.M.S. Pinafore" and "The Pirates of Penzance." He was in his late teens when he composed a suite inspired by Shakespeare's "The Tempest."
Incidental music from that suite was brilliantly illuminated by Maestro Michael Stern and the orchestra. The seven thoroughly accessible pieces were enjoyable in and of themselves and also to savor a taste of what would come in Sullivan's career of doing those popular comic operas.
The centerpiece of the concert at the Germantown Performing Arts Center was Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No. 1 in G minor, written when the composer was 21.
As performed with lively nuance by guest soloist Benjamin Hochman, the piece shimmered with energy.
It has a built-in vibrance provided by the already prolific Mendelssohn, but Hochman, when he was grooving, managed to take it to another level of excitement. The more speed the piece demanded, the more feeling Hochman put into it.
After the Mendelssohn, the soloist encored with a sweet, delicate version of Brahms' Intermezzo Op. 116, No. 4.
Stern ended the evening with Schumann's Symphony No. 2 in C major. Schumann was in his mid-30s when he composed it and suffering from ill health. So it's not particularly emblematic of the promise of youth, although it's a decent triumph-over-adversity piece.
The symphony is one of those good-not-great works that is more obvious than original, and with possible messages more muddled than subtle. But the execution by IRIS was terrific, all polished expression and fine performance.

The Vampire Hunters (Paperback)
|Author: Pete Johnson
Learn more about The Vampire Hunters:
|On his thirteenth birthday, Marcus Howlett was faced with a bombshell. His parents told him they were half-vampire. And, although he hated the thought of it, he was about to become one too. Now, slowly getting to grips with his new life, wise-cracking Marcus blogs about the challenges and dangers his vampire status brings with it.
From the Publisher:
More reluctant bloodsucking hilarity in the sequel to Vampire Blog
On Marcus's thirteenth birthday his life changed for ever. That's when his parents told him the shocking truth: he's a half-vampire. Any notions that this could be cool went quickly out the windowhe's been attacked by an evil vampire bat, had huge cravings for his best friend's blood, and nearly died from eating a pizza (half-vampires aren't great with garlic). Writing his secret blog is the only thing that's kept him from going completely crazy. As if life couldn't get any more complicated, there have been some vicious attacks in the local woods. Vampire-mad Tallulah (definitely not Marcus's girlfriend) thinks a super-vampire is behind themand she's desperate to prove itwith a mysterious chain that's supposed to glow red hot when a vampire is close by. Marcus has a horrible feeling the chain's going to turn red-hot any day now.

On 5 October 2011, Androulla Vassiliou, Member of the EC in charge of Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, and Ana de Hollanda, Briazilian Minister for Culture, signed a four-year joint action plan focusing on cultural diversity, cultural heritage and the development of a sustainable cultural and creative economy.
Culture is a boom area for the European economy, with studies showing that it contributes 4.5% to Europe's GDP and provides jobs for 8.5 million people. Brazil also has a vibrant cultural and heritage sector: the country has 11 sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List, including the historic towns of Ouro Preto, Olinda and Salvador de Bahia, which attract thousands of European and other tourists every year.
The Joint Programme on Culture between the European Commission and Brazil builds on a Joint Declaration on Culture signed in May 2009. Within the context of this dialogue, the Commission and Brazilian Ministry for Culture engage in regular exchanges on policies and best practice.

A former reporter for Sports Illustrated, Merlisa Lawrence Corbett began her career as a journalist while a student at the University of South Florida. While most of her friends spent the weekends partying, Merlisa covered sports for the St. Petersburg Times and Lakeland Ledger. She covered high school and college sports for the Tampa Tribune and Staten Island (NY) Advance. She left the Advance to become the youngest member of the Pittsburgh Press sports staff, where she covered college football and basketball. She was also an assistant sports editor at America Online.
She wrote the foreword for Arthur R. Ashe, Jr.'s A Hard Road to Glory: Track and Field.
An avid tennis fan, Merlisa plays tennis three to four times a week in USTA leagues. She is a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors. She splits her time between Central Florida and the Washington D.C. area.
Follow her on Twitter: https://twitter.com/merlisa
Cibulkova is ranked 49 because of an injury that has sidelined her from playing competitive tennis since February; not because of erratic play, which you so conveniently implied in your article about Haleps struggles. Do you even follow tennis?
Merlisa: what is your opinion on rising star from Kazakhstan Zarina Diyas? Please let me know
Could you explain? - Please
1/. how does one get awards? AND ~~
2/ the correlation between - Comments written and ~~ rank
I have 889 Comments Written (Triple digits) AND Incidentally I feel as though I have written far more Comments
No Awards
Rank = 2,013 ( Four (4) digits AND
I observe that many whom I see as *"Putting in less Leg-Work" via making less Comments, have accumulated Triple digits in Rank (???)
I can't find a way to post on *Your Bulletin Board
At Bernice Frankl
I feel such overwhelming ~ RELIEF ~ I thought that I was the only one who finds that the WTA Website~~ is LOPSIDED ~ Biased Pro Sharapova and AGAINST Serena! Look at the photos which they usually run .... Sharapova // Sharapova // Aga Radwanska // Sharapova ~~> again!
IS Serena playing or NOT? IF Not ~~(?) What happened between her playing one match ~~ and disappearing?
Just want a reality check on this. Am I the only one seeing this with a 3rd eye? This is the summary the fan have to use to determine their vote for the "The player of the year." I read a lot and sometimes you don't read every word you skim and glance down the middle and the paragraph and when I read Serena's summary I see words like "disappointing" "disaster" "failures". Compare and contrast this to the other summaries of selected players. Tell me I'm just paranoid or has the WTA just proved what I have always known about their bias against Serena.
"Serena Williams: With titles in Brisbane, Miami and Rome, it would be churlish to describe the first half of Williams' season as disappointing. Yet, while it was certainly no disaster, by her own high standards, failures at the Australian Open, Roland Garros and Wimbledon saw the World No.1 head to the hardcourts of North America eager to prove a point. And prove a point she did, willing herself back into form in July and August, before capping off this turnaround by waltzing to a sixth US Open. Williams then followed this up by overcoming a humbling round robin loss to Simona Halep to emerge victorious at the WTA Finals."
Thanks for your message Merlisa, that's kind of you, although I'm not holding my breath! And just to underline the point I made - today ANOTHER article about Nadal not appearing for the rest of the year! That has already been covered, so all the writer is doing is regurgitating what has already been said. What's the point? And still, all the old articles being shuffled about. It's pretty shocking.
I know you occasionally reply Merlisa, so you do at least give the comments on your article a cursory glance. But what's happened to the tennis section? Absolutely nothing about the semi finals of the women's WTF - no article about who might win the final between Halep and Serena - despite the rout Serena suffered at the hands of Halep only a few days ago. Nothing about Valencia or Basel, apart from Nadal shutting down his year after being turfed out by Coric.
If you don't give tennis fans any articles to comment on, other than when one or other of the main guys suffer a defeat, then all you're going to get is nasty comments between Federer/Nadal fans! I've noticed in the last few months how very few new articles there are. All b/r does now is swap (very) old articles around. I've found a blog where one guy writes all the articles - and in fact did 3(!) the other day. And b/r, with many more writers, can barely manage 1/2 per week now it seems! I know Jeremy has said that he can only do one due to other commitments. Do you not have any writers now who enjoy tennis?
Merlisa - you come across as pretty whiny yourself. Awfully smug and superior, too, with your overused "Rafa, Rafa, Rafa" line. If the players don't speak out about things, the greedy tournament directors and officials will run roughshod over them.To act as if silence and acceptance of all circumstances are more important than great sportsmanship is pretty short-sighted. You should be ashamed of yourself for acting so superior.
why are you fat and ugly

Accountability for Generic Drugs
The ability for consumers to hold manufacturers accountable in court improves product safety. The March 19 op-ed by Tevi Troy, "The Best Prescription for Pre-Emption," completely ignores the fact that sulindac was an unsafe drug. Mutual Pharmaceuticals' legal responsibility is in question because the drug it produced that injured Karen Bartlett was a generic, not a brand name drug.
Accountability motivates drug makers to both produce safe products and monitor for new side effects after their drugs are approved and enter the marketplace. Generics make up 80% of the prescription drug market, and yet cannot be held responsible and are not subject to the same safety requirements as brand-name manufacturers.
The Food and Drug Administration does not do its own testing of drugs, but instead approves drugs based on the studies the manufacturer supplies to the FDA.
Both generic and brand-drug manufacturers should have the same responsibility to monitor the safety and disclose information about the risks of their drugs.

Wednesday's Dutch election overturned myriad assumptions, as voters turned en masse towards the two large centrist parties that have backed eurozone rescue measures and abandoned the fringe anti-European parties that had been expected to win big.
Rather than punishing Liberal prime minister Mark Rutte for signing up to bailout packages for Greece and Spain and to the European emergency fund, right-wing voters re-elected him with 27 per cent of the vote, by far the party's largest share ever. Read more

Menja Aqui is located just off Racou Plage, provides a fun respite from the midday heat & has a very friendly & relaxed atmosphere.

18/F looking for Roommate in Oakville Area, ON, Canada (self.redditroommates)
submitted 1 year ago by cryssylol
I'm an 18 year old female whose going to McMaster University, however Oakville is basically like my second home (I'm from Toronto) and would prefer to commute than to live in Hamilton. I'm looking for another female roommate, or younger male roommate to share a 2 bedroom (or 1 bedroom + den) apartment with in the central Oakville area (Trafalgar and Cornwall, to Trafalgar and Lakeshore preferably). My budget is up to 650-700 dollars per month and I'd prefer to be as close to the Go Station as possible.
I have a 5 month old husky puppy, and she's very clean and quiet. She's actually asleep on the floor beside me right now, so well behaved! My interests are video games, studying, music and fitness. So, I'm pretty well rounded and am extremely chill. I'm clean, and love to cook. So if anyone is looking for someone to room with in the Sheridan College/Central Oakville area just shoot me a message. Thanks!

Penalties – Drink Driving
Contact lawyer Alistair Haskett free on 0800 DRINK DRIVE (0800 374653) or 021 920031
Drink driving penalties:
- Penalties for Drink Driving
- Criminal Offences and Records
- Infringement Offences and Demerits
- Consequences and Sentences
Penalties for drink driving
The maximum penalty for a first or second conviction for excess breath alcohol (BrAC over 400) or excess blood alcohol (BAC over 80) is 3 months imprisonment or a fine up to $4,500.00, and mandatory disqualification for at least 6 months (unless special reasons or certain other provisions apply).
On a third or subsequent conviction for excess breath or blood alcohol the maximum penalty increases to 2 years imprisonment or a fine up to $6,000.00, with mandatory disqualification of more than 1 year (unless special reasons or certain other provisions apply).
The penalties are the same for refusing to do a blood test, and there are similar penalties for other drink drive related offences.
Some offences attract demerit points, including careless driving; failing to accompany; failing to stop; driving contrary to licence conditions; failing to produce a zero alcohol licence; exceeding the zero alcohol limit as a youth; and exceeding the new adult alcohol limits from 1 December 2014 for breath alcohol (BrAC over 250 but not over 400) and blood alcohol (BAC over 50 but not over 80).
In some circumstances indefinite disqualification, zero alcohol licence orders and permanent confiscation of your car may apply.
The law also allows the court to order different sentences to those above, such as community work, supervision, intensive supervision, judicial monitoring, community detention and home detention.
Is drink driving a criminal offence?
This is a question we are often asked. The answer is yes for offences involving excess breath alcohol over 400, excess blood alcohol over 80, refusing blood, failing to accompany, some youth level offences and many other related offences. If a conviction is entered on those types of offences you will have a criminal record.
Adult excess alcohol infringement offences
If you pay an infringement fee relating to the new adult limits for breath alcohol (BrAC over 250 but not over 400) and blood alcohol (BAC over 50 but not over 80) you will be deemed to have committed an infringement offence. These drink driving infringement offences attract 50 demerit points and may have adverse consequences in terms of your drivers licence, employment, insurance, travel and immigration. Excess alcohol infringement offences are also likely to be relevant to any other court matters that arise in the future.
We recommend you consider the possibility of keeping your record clear of these types of infringement offences. There are many possible defences to an excess alcohol infringement offence and there may also be options for seeking a discharge or dismissal on it.
Have you considered all the potential consequences of a conviction?
The consequences of a criminal conviction are likely to depend on the seriousness of the offending, such as the level of intoxication and nature of driving, whether it is your first or subsequent offence, whether and when a guilty plea is entered, your personal circumstances and other relevant factors.
Depending on the circumstances of a particular case the consequences of a conviction for excess breath alcohol (BrAC over 400) or excess blood alcohol (BAC over 80) may include:
- Penalty ranging from a fine, community work, community detention, home detention to imprisonment, although in some cases a discharge with or without conviction or an order to come up for sentence is made.
- Supervision or intensive supervision orders as part of some sentences, typically for bad cases, repeat offenders or where addictions are apparent – these orders typically require completion of alcohol or drug counselling.
- Mandatory disqualification from driving for a minimum of 6 months for a first or second conviction and more than 1 year for a third or subsequent offence, although there are limited exceptions to this.
- Indefinite disqualification from driving in specified circumstances, which also results in the inability to apply for a limited licence and permanent loss of the benefit of the Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act 2004.
- A 3 year zero alcohol licence order in some cases, which means you must have no alcohol in your system when driving.
- A 28 day stand down period after disqualification before a limited licence can be applied for and the possibility that a limited licence would not be granted if the threshold test cannot be met.
- Inability to apply for a limited licence in other specified circumstances, which includes having previous convictions for specified types of traffic offences committed within five years of the date of the current offence.
- Confiscation and sale of the car in some circumstances.
- Employment difficulties ranging from an inability to perform a current job to missing prospective jobs because of a conviction.
- International travel difficulties ranging from exclusion from visa waiver programmes to total prohibition on entry to other countries.
- Insurance difficulties ranging from increased premiums to insurance being declined.
- Family difficulties arising from a conviction, the inability to drive or restricted scope of driving under a limited licence.

I can't find the pic of Frank Hurley astride the bowsprit of the Aurora on the Mawson Antarctic Expedition (it was published in the Sydney Morning Herald today) This will have to do--the question being how he might have handled a light meter as well as the camera in such acrobatic situations.
BTW if you search for Frank Hurley Aurora in Google images you'll find several copies of him lowering his processed film over the rail of the ship and into the sea to wash it. I'm not sure what that would do to the emulsion.

Although people in the local community have referred to the Guardian Center in Perry, GA as a "FEMA Concentration Camp," or even a "Terrorist Training Facility" their real purpose is to train first responders, police, firefighters, national guard, and military personnel on how to respond and prepare for natural and manmade disasters, while simulating real life situations during their training.
For example, the Guardian Center has a neighborhood complete with 8 fully furnished homes that can be flooded up to 8 feet. It also has a fully functional subway tunnel, that can be subject to water, fire and smoke to be used during rescue simulations.
The 830 acre facility is located in Perry, GA at the site of a former Northrup Gruman factory. The Guardian Center has added numerous buildings to the complex which now include: 60 single and multi story buildings which can be used to simulate urban search and rescue missions; a 1.1 mile interstate highway; scale sized city block featuring an actual bank, liquor store, post office and additional businesses; a dive pond to train on submerged vehicle rescue operations; and plenty of undeveloped and wooded land for wilderness training.
In addition to training emergency personnel, the facility has also become a highly sought after destination for Hollywood producers, searching for the perfect location to film disaster, chase and explosion scenes.
Just this week, filming began for "Barely Lethal" starring Samuel L. Jackson and Jessical Alba.
According to a speech before local REALTORS, Guardian Center Director Nathan Cummiskey said that he initially faced skepticism from the local community, but now, the community has rallied behind them and appreciate the value of the services they provide, and the positive impact the center will have on the community.
"Residents are welcome to stop by our center anytime, and we will gladly give them a tour of the facility. We also regularly need volunteers to serve as rescue victims and other roles during some of our training exercises."
Volunteers can register through their website at www.guardiancenters.com. They will also be posting job opportunities as they become available.
To see more please view their video.

Home. Some pets never have one to call their own. We'd like to help change that by introducing you to an extraordinary adoptable pet every week. Today, meet Harriet, a 7-year-old pooch who has come a long way since arriving at the Animal Welfare Society in New Milford, Conn.
The 45-lb. pup may be the picture of perfection now, but this former stray was freezing cold, flea-infested and missing most of her fur on February 4 when animal control officer Audrey McKay captured her and brought her into the shelter.
It's taken a little T.L.C., but in the month since, Harriet's skin has become healthy again and her hair has grown back beautifully. And while it's not a permanent home, the shelter has been a welcome change from the mean streets.
"She loves to give kisses, go for walks with the volunteers, and get her belly rubbed," says kennel assistant Kelsey Lord. "She loves to play with toys and then relax in a cozy and warm bed."
Ever a people person, Harriet can't get enough attention, therefore an owner with a lot of time to spend with her would be ideal. In turn, Harriet will love you right back. "Her favorite person is still the officer who rescued her," says Lord.
If you think Harriet is for you, contact the Animal Welfare Society at (860)354-1350.
Click here to meet last week's adoptable dog, Stella.
Adopting a pet is an amazing experience – and a big decision! Before bringing a pet into your home it's important to consider your family circumstances and do your research on breeds.
Adopt Me! Harriet Will Love You Forever for Rescuing Her

Sailboats and sailing equipment previously stored at Nelson's Marine and not yet claimed by owners will now be sold via auction starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8, not this Saturday, Jan. 11, as originally planned.
The City of Alameda closed Nelson's Marine, located at 1500 Ferry Point near the USS Hornet, about eight months ago. It evicted Nelson's from Alameda Point due to building code violations and unpaid storm-water utility fees of $37,000.
According to Michaan's Auctions, which is running the event, community members can get a preview of the 50 vessels still at Nelson's from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 6, and Friday, Feb. 7.
The auction includes motor yachts ranging in size from 40 to 70 feet, as well as sailboats ranging in size from 20 feet to 45 feet. In addition, some boat equipment and smaller runabouts will be auctioned.
A complete list of 130 vessels that were unclaimed as of this summer is available online.
The record-breaking vessel show above, L'Hydroptere, was removed from Nelson's in the late spring when the city closed the boat repair and storage facility.

I came across an interesting article on the Associated Press about six NFL teams, including the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins, that could use Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt because of his speed and strength. The teams are:
Miami Dolphins, NY Jets, New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders, St. Louis Rams and the Dallas Cowboys.
I realize that America wants to get its hooks into Usain Bolt by any means necessary. I would venture to say, the State Department would probably wave a green card under his nose.

Aviation Insurers Offer some Good News
Business Jet Traveler » August 2008
Friday, August 1, 2008 - 5:00am
At the Aviation Insurance Association convention earlier this year, industry experts reported a mini-boom that is benefiting the insured, large and small. The reason: a credit crunch throughout much of the economy, triggered by the U.S. sub-prime loan debacle, has been driving capital, especially private-equity funds, toward less risky investments, including aviation insurance. With a favorable loss history and an upscale worldwide clientele, the field presents an attractive vehicle in an uncertain time, explained representatives of some of the largest aviation insurers.

George Osborne has revealed plans to launch a small business bank that will help fund small businesses to meet requirements for growth strategy, as a part of a series of measures that would help revive the ailing British economy.
The UK manufacturing body, EEF, has published a report which shows manufacturers going through toughest trading conditions for three years with output, orders, confidence and profits all plummeting. Hence, the government has come up with the plan.
The government-backed small bank will not be in line with the high-street banks nor take deposits, concentrating solely on private sector. The small bank will be responsible for carrying out many schemes belonging to the Business Department, such as the Business Finance Partnership and Enterprise Capital funds.
"The bank would bring together all the alphabet soup of existing schemes" available to small businesses", The Chancellor was quoted as saying to The BBC, adding, "The creation of a business bank won't have an instant impact but it will underpin future jobs, investment and confidence and create a decisive legacy for this Government."
The Treasury is modeling its banking design based on US, Germany and Ireland which follow similar versions. Going ahead, the Treasury believes that the small bank could form the centre for small networks that would eventually join private sector and operate joint projects.
Although the move has been hailed by one and all, John Longworth, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, has urged the Prime Minister to take immediate steps to appoint a minister for a speedy creation of the bank under the planned cabinet reshuffle.
"The creation of a business bank won't have an instant impact but it will underpin future jobs, investment and confidence and create a decisive legacy for this Government", he said.

A method and camera apparatus for magnetically recording data on a photographic film magnetic layer in dual parallel data tracks wherein a first data track is recorded as the film is transported in one direction and a second data track is recorded as the film is transported in the reverse direction. In this manner, recording is simplified since only one recording track of a recording head is needed for recording in the dual data tracks and memory requirements are minimized by recording high content data as each frame is exposed, leaving the low content data to be stored in memory for recording during rewind of film into the cassette.
1. A method of recording, in a camera, first and second sets of photographic data by means of a magnetic recording device into parallel data tracks in a magnetic recording layer formed on photographic film, the method comprising the steps of:
recording a first data set associated with an image frame in a first data track on the film as the film is transported in a first direction; and
recording a second data set associated with said image frame in a second data track on the film as the film is transported in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said data sets are each comprised of an initial sequence of digital data bits, the sequence being the same for both data sets and wherein the data bits are recorded in one data track in reverse sequence from the sequence in the other data track such that, upon subsequent reading of the data, both data sets are readable simultaneously in the initial bit sequence while the film is being transported in a single direction.
3. The method of claim 1 or 2 wherein the data sets are recorded in discrete, longitudinally separated track segments adjacent each respective image frame with which the data sets are associated, the first data set being recorded after exposure of the associated image frame as the film is advanced to the next available image frame and the second data set for the associated image frame as the film is being rewound into a film cassette.
4. Photographic camera apparatus for magnetically recording data associated with an exposed film image frame in a plurality of parallel data tracks in a magnetic layer formed on photographic film, the apparatus comprising:
means for storing and supplying first and second sets of data to be recorded in said parallel data tracks;
means for transporting said film in forward and reverse directions;
magnetic recording means for recording said data in said magnetic layer as said film is transported past said recording means;
means for actuating said recording means to record said first data set after exposure of an associated image frame as the film is advanced in the forward direction to the next available image frame and for actuating said recording means to record said second data set for the associated image frame as the film is transported in said reverse direction.
5. The camera apparatus of claim 4 wherein said data sets are each comprised of an initial sequence of digital data bits, the sequence being the same for both data sets and wherein said apparatus includes means for reversing the sequence of the data bits one of the data sets prior to recording on the film such that, upon subsequent reading of the data, both data sets are readable simultaneously in the initial bit sequence while the film is being transported in a single direction.
6. The camera apparatus of claim 4 wherein said actuating means is operative to record said first and second data sets in discrete, longitudinally separated track segments adjacent each respective image frame with which the data sets are associated, the first data set being recorded as the film is transported in the advance direction toward the next available image frame, the camera apparatus further including means for sensing during reverse transport of the film when the an image frame associated with a second data set to be recorded is in position for recording by said recording means; and said actuating mean is responsive to said sensing means to record said second data set in a track segment adjacent to the associated image frame.
7. The camera apparatus of claim 4 wherein said recording means comprises a dual track recording head and said actuating means actuates one recording track when recording in the forward direction and the other recording track when recording in the reverse direction.
8. The camera apparatus of claim 4 wherein said recording means comprises a single track recording head and said apparatus further includes means for displacing said head over one of said data tracks when recording in the forward direction and over the other of said recording tracks when recording in the reverse direction.
9. The camera apparatus of claim 4 wherein said recording means comprises a dual track recording head with one recording head track offset in the longitudinal recording direction from the other recording head track to enable start of recording at a predetermined position in the data track corresponding to said offset recording head track which maximizes available recording space in said data track corresponding to the offset recording head track.
This invention relates to the field of photographic film cameras and more specifically to cameras adapted to magnetically record data onto a magnetic layer on photographic film.
Cameras have been described in which various forms of photographic data are recorded in parallel tracks on magnetic layers formed on photographic film strips in the camera. A representative example is found in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,130,745 in which four camera dedicated tracks are recorded, two on each side of the film strip. More recently, it has been proposed to use only two camera tracks along one edge of the film strip and to reserve two tracks on the other edge for photofinisher use. Such a camera with multiple magnetic tracks writing capability is generally adapted to write both tracks at the same time during film transport either in the film advance direction or in the film rewind direction. In either case, there are complications in power consumption and magnetic circuit drive "head room" (particularly in a three-volt battery system camera) as well as separate recording drive circuit and added software timing and calculation requirements. If recording is performed in the rewind direction after all image frames have been exposed, there is the further complication that a large amount of nonvolatile memory is required in order to store all of the data from each exposed frame until rewind occurs.
In a proposed camera data recording system involving parallel recorded data tracks, one of the recorded tracks is reserved for camera information such as date, time, flash fire, image orientation and frame aspect ratio format designation. This is relatively simple information that can be recorded in, for example, six bytes of data. In this proposed system, a second track is reserved to record annotation data, such as a "print title". This data is the sort that is inputted by the camera user for recording on the film to be subsequently read back at the photofinisher and printed on the back of the photographic print. This annotated information is relatively high in content and would typically require about 30 bytes of data to be recorded on the film. Thus, it would require significant nonvolatile memory to store all of the data for each of the frames on the film if this data were to be stored for recording during the rewind operation.
It is, therefore, seen to be desirable to provide a method of recording data in a photographic film camera within plural tracks on the film that alleviates problems associated with simultaneously recording the data on the plural tracks and also alleviates the need for extensive nonvolatile memory that would be required to store all of the data for recording during the rewind operation.
Thus in accordance with the invention, there is provided a photographic camera and method of recording first and second sets of photographic data by means of a magnetic recording device into parallel data tracks in a magnetic recording layer formed on photographic film, wherein a first data set associated with an image frame is recorded in a first data track on film as the film is transported in a first direction and a second data set associated with the image frame is recorded in a second data track on the film, as the film is transported in a second direction opposite to the first direction. Preferably the data bits are recorded in reverse sequence in one data track versus the recording sequence in the other data track so that, upon subsequent reading of the data, at a photofinisher station, for example, the data sets from both data tracks are readable simultaneously while the film is being transported in a single direction without further processing being required to re-sequence data bits in one track.
Such a recording method has the advantage that data in one track can be recorded during advance of the film to the next available image frame, with data in the other track being recorded during the rewind operation, thus simplifying the recording operation. Additionally, by recording high content data during the film advance phase and storing only the low content data for recording during the rewind phase, a significant savings is accomplished in the required amount of nonvolatile memory. Additionally, during rewind, jitter in the film transport speed can introduce errors in recording. By reserving the low content data (i.e. shorter data blocks) to recording in the rewind direction, redundant recording can be employed to minimize the introduction of errors in the data readback process.

FIG. 7 is an alternative embodiment of a recording head for the camera of FIG. 1.
Referring now to FIG. 1, portions of a photographic camera associated with magnetic recording of data on film in accordance with the present invention is shown. A camera controller 10 includes a microprocessor and related input/output and control circuits to control various functions of the camera operation. An input device 12 is provided to allow the camera user to input data such as an image frame title to controller 10. Other photographic data, such as date, time, exposure information, scene orientation and frame format are provided in known manner to controller 10 from various sensors (not shown) in the camera. An EEPROM 14 comprises a non-volatile data storage medium for storing the photographic data temporarily prior to recording of the data onto a film magnetic layer formed on photographic film 22. A motor drive 16 is mechanically coupled to an internal spool of film cassette 18 and to a takeup spool 20. The motor drive is operated under the control of controller 10 to advance film strip 22 in a first direction represented by arrow 24 from the cassette to the takeup spool, frame by frame, as each image frame 25 is exposed. Once all frames are exposed, motor drive 16 is operative to rewind the film in a second direction represented by arrow 26 from the takeup spool to the film cassette in one continuous motion. A detector circuit 30 is coupled between controller 10 and opto-sensors 32 and 34 to sense apertures A and M to control the frame by frame advance of the film and the recording of data in tracks C1 and C2 in accordance with the present invention. In conjunction with detector 30 and controller 10, opto-sensor 32 serves as a metering sensor responsive to detection of metering perf M to position image frame areas 25 properly within the camera exposure gate (not shown). Opto-sensor 34 serves as a velocity sensor responsive to detection of anticipation perf A to sense the velocity of the film as it is being transported. Data recording in parallel longitudinal data tracks C1 and C2 is accomplished by means of recording heads 40 and 42 driven by head drive 44 under the control of controller 10. Since, as will be seen subsequently, only one head recording track is actuated at a time in accordance with a feature of the invention, head drive 44 may comprise a 1.5H-drive circuit of known design rather than two separate H drive circuits. The details of film 22 and the magnetic recording layer thereon are fully described in aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,130,745, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
In FIG. 2, an alternative camera embodiment is shown in which like components carry the same reference numerals as the camera of FIG. 1. The FIG. 2 camera differs in that, since only one data track is being recorded at a time, a single recording head 50 is used in place of the dual head 40,42 in FIG. 1. suitable mechanical switching (not shown) is provided to move head 50 between the two track recording positions. Also, since only a single recording head is used, head drive 44' comprises a single H-drive circuit of known design in place of the 1.5H-drive circuits 44 of the FIG. 1 embodiment.
Referring now jointly to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 3a-3e and FIG. 5, the method by which data is recorded on film 22 during film advance by the camera apparatus in accordance with the invention will now be described. As shown in FIG. 3a, the camera is assumed to have completed a frame advance in the direction of arrow 24 after exposure of frame 25(1) with the film metered into positions for exposure of frame 25(2). Data has been recorded in data track C2 adjacent frame 25(1). The relative positions of the opto-sensors 32,34 and record heads 40,42 to the apertures A,M and to the image frame 25(2) are as shown when the film is positioned for exposure of frame 25(2). Once the frame is exposed, the controller program in FIG. 5 enters the frame advance cycle at 100 and at step 102 starts the transport motor in the advance direction shown by arrow 24.
At step 104, the controller fetches the first data set which is preferably the high content annotation data to be recorded in track C2 adjacent frame 25(2). The film advances until step 106 determines that the sensor 34 has detected the A perf. At step 108, the width of the A perf is measured and, at step 110, a data recording frequency is calculated based on the velocity information derived at step 108. At this point, as shown in FIG. 3b, the film is in position for head 40 to begin recording the first data set in track C2. The data recording is initiated at step 112. This continues as shown in FIG. 3c until step 116 detects the A perf and step 118 stops recording the C2 data. The A perf width is measured at step 120 (FIG. 3d) and step 122 then begins to slow the transport speed in anticipation of the arrival of metering perf M. When step 124 determines that sensor 32 detects the trailing edge of perf M, step 126 stops the transport motor and the film comes to rest with the frame 25(3) positioned in the exposure gate and with the relative positions of the sensors, perfs and record head (for frame 25(3)) the same as shown in FIG. 3a for frame 25(2).
Referring jointly to FIGS. 4a-4e and 6a-6b, there will now be described the manner in which data is recorded in track C1 during rewind of film back into the cassette. When all image frames have been exposed, the controller program (FIG. 6a) enters the rewind cycle at step 150 and initiates the film transport motor in the rewind direction at step 152. As shown in FIG. 4a the film rewind operation is assumed to have progressed to the point at which image frame 25(3) has just moved past record heads 40,42 in the direction of arrow 26 and recording of data has been completed in track C1 adjacent image frame 25(3). Step 154 executes a read of data from EEPROM 141 and step 156 prepares the data for recording, which preferably includes the appropriate instruction for re-sequencing the data bits as described above. As the rewind progresses, query 158 determines when sensor 32 detects the trailing edge of metering perf M and query 160 determines when, as shown in FIG. 4b, sensor 32 detects the leading edge of anticipation perf A. Steps 162 and 164 then measure the distance between the two perfs and calculate a data recording frequency whereupon step 166 begins recording of data by record head 42 in track C1.
As shown in FIG. 4c data continues to be recorded until at FIG. 4d queries 168 and 170 determine that the leading edges of the A perf and the M perf are detected by sensor 34 (FIG. 4e), following which step 172 stops recording of the C1 data and step 174 decrements the frame counter by one count. This process is repeated frame-by-frame until query 176 determines that all frames have been rewound, in which event the program moves to step 178 which completes the rewind process, typically by assuring that the film has been completely rewound into the cassette and then disabling the film transport motor.
Due to the particular physical alignment of the sensor 32 as determined for film metering purposes in the illustrated embodiment, it will be noted (FIG. 4c) that recording in data track C1 commences at a slightly delayed time corresponding to sensor 32 detecting the leading edge of perf A (FIG. 4b). The result is a slightly reduced available length of the data track for recording purposes and consequent reduction in the maximum number of bytes that can be recorded in this track. This result can be eliminated in the case of a dual track recording head by offsetting the head recording track for the C1 data track to the right, as shown in FIG. 7, by an amount necessary to assure that recording is commenced physically at the first available position in the frame area alloted to recording of data tracks. Similarly, in the case of movable single track recording head, the head can be translated at an angle to position the recording track at the desired optimum position for commencement of recording of data track C1.
It will be appreciated from the foregoing that what has been described is a simple and effective mechanism and method for recording data in separate parallel data tracks, first one track C2 in a film advance direction and then a second track C1 in a reverse rewind direction. The process utilizes existing film metering sensors and recording media in the camera without the addition of special devices. Operation of only one recording head in each direction simplifies the complexities of the recording process. By such an arrangement, recording of high content data is accomplished on a frame-by-frame basis during film advance and low content data is stored for recording during rewind thus minimizing the amount of data storage required for the delayed recording.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to a presently preferred embodiment, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims appended hereto.

The risk of all-cause mortality was 30 percent higher for people who were considered obese at the start of the study vs. those of a normal weight. The risk of dying from colorectal cancer was 35 percent higher, and the risk of dying from heart disease was 68 percent higher.
Meyerhardt explained that the researchers tried to adjust the data for important factors, such as physical activity, red meat intake (a known risk factor for colorectal cancer), family history and blood pressure levels. Even after adjusting the data, obesity increased the risk of dying.
"In and of itself, obesity does seem to have some effect," Meyerhardt said.
In the second study, researchers recruited 2,278 people who'd been diagnosed with non-metastatic colon or rectal cancer between 1992 and 2007. In this group, there were 842 deaths. Of those, 377 were from colorectal cancer and 152 were from heart disease, according to the study.
People with type 2 diabetes had a 53 percent higher risk of dying from any cause and a 29 percent higher risk of dying from colorectal cancer compared to people without type 2 diabetes. The risk of dying from heart disease was 2.16 times higher in people with type 2 diabetes and nearly four times higher in people with type 2 diabetes who used insulin, compared with people without type 2 diabetes, the study found.
"Insulin use in type 2 diabetes usually indicates longer-standing diabetes, which is usually associated with worse outcomes," Meyerhardt noted.

Highlights of the Area
Tobago Cays
The Tobago Cays in The Grenadines are world famous. They consist of five uninhabited islands inside a massive horseshoe reef with white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, palm trees, and peerless Caribbean land and seascapes. Simply spectacular!
Anchor or pick up one of the moorings inside the Tobago Cays with the huge horseshoe reef in front of you to protect from the ocean swell. There are no restaurants or bars in the Tobago Cays – light up the BBQ and dine under the stars. Since the area is protected the wealth of sea life is extraordinary. Just off the little island of Baradel is an area cordoned off for turtles to feed, and it's an incredible experience to get close and swim with these remarkable animals. Explore the islands ashore and climb to their summits for the stunning views and watch the almost tame iguanas and land tortoises lumbering around.
Grenada's Underwater Sculpture Park
Grenada's Underwater Sculpture Park is based on the original sculptures of British sculptor Jason de Caires Taylor.
A series of underwater works encapsulate Grenada's colorful history, culture and folklore. Fashioned mainly from simple substrates including concrete and rebar the sculptures have created an artificial reef ideal now colonized by fish, corals and sponges.
Located in clear and shallow water and dappled by sunlight they allow a thrilling interaction and are a delight to lovers of both art and nature.
