Choosing Swimwear For Men
With just shorts or trunks, you might think there's not much to choose from, but read on for advice on choosing men's swimwear to suit any shape.
Tall and athletic
Anything will do. Just choose a nice colour to match your skin tone.

Usually the brief style will do the trick. Go for a high leg cut to make legs look longer and a low waistband to show off those abs. Avoid long and extra long shorts.
Tall and thin
Baggy shorts are best. Make sure you don't overdo the bagginess or you risk becoming swamped by them.
Tall and big
Long shorts in one solid colour will look best. If you want patterned swimwear, choose small patterns and keep the colours toned down.
Big tummy
Again wear a solid colour – patterns will just accentuate. And remember you can cover up any flabby bits by wearing a tee shirt if you feel uncomfortable.

In 2011, 226 children lost their lives because of drunk driving accidents.
On average, 30 percent of car accident fatalities are attributed to speeding. In 2009, an estimated 10.5 million people reported to driving under the influence of illicit drugs.
Also in 2009, among fatally injured drivers, 18 percent tested positive for at least one drug.
Texting while driving is definitely an over-talked-about subject, but Ronald Norris' plan to stop cellphone-based wrecks is a bit excessive.
In response to his letter from Sept. 3, I'd like to ask about drinking and driving, driving under the influence of a substance, speeding, unworthy vehicles and poor road maintenance.
All can cause fatal car accidents, not just texting.
Instead of making a $5 million dollar fine, why not make a $5,000 fine and 500 hours community service? Make the person give back to the community they disrupted instead of charging them with such a large amount of money that they're never going to be able to pay.
What about convicted rapists, murderers and drug dealers? They don't get $5 million dollar fines, and they knowingly committed their crimes.
If you're going to propose something so drastic, make it towards everyone who is at fault for an accident and not just one specific kind.

|Celebrating Success and Looking Forward in Challenging Times
While reflecting on the coming year at the ALS, Director Roger Falcone noted two important themes. First, we just had our most productive year ever, with 2200 users and 800 publications in 2013. These record performances are a result of the dedication and skills of ALS staff, strong support from the Department of Energy, and the interest and successes of our users. A second theme is the challenging federal budget environment, which has resulted in science funding cuts nationally and locally at the ALS.
"While the major metrics by which we are judged—users and publications—are our best ever, our funding challenges may also be at their greatest," says Falcone.
Reviewing our recent successes can help us look forward—Falcone points to projects such as the MAESTRO and COSMIC beamlines, the brightness upgrade of our storage ring, and our precision optical metrology lab, all of which reflect DOE investments and the importance of the ALS. These new capabilities are allowing us to continue to provide cutting-edge capabilities and are responsive to critical needs.
"When we look back over the last few years, we see that the DOE has given us considerable resources for facility upgrades and new instruments in addition to strong funding for daily operations." says Falcone. "The success of these important projects is a credit to the skills of the ALS and broader LBNL staff, as well as a sign of the commitment to ALS that DOE is making."
The question for the future, as Falcone sees it, is: "How do we continue to respond to emerging needs with reduced funding today and on the horizon?" The short answer is that we need to optimize and prioritize. "It is likely we will not be able to support everything we have been doing in the past while simultaneously building the new capabilities we envision for the future," says Falcone. "What we will do is identify the most successful activities at the ALS and continue to support them." He adds that we will have to also identify the most important future needs as defined by the ALS user community and then optimize how we spend resources to enhance capabilities for users.
Falcone sees demands from scientists, DOE mission priorities, and collaboration with industry as key factors in how the ALS needs to prioritize programs going forward. He points to sustainable energy research and our response—the proposed AMBER beamline—which will serve mission-oriented programs at Berkeley and other Labs, including the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP), the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR), the Batteries for Advanced Transportation Technologies (BATT) program, several Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs), and research activities at other labs, such as the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, that use the ALS. Additionally, building a new inelastic x-ray scattering beamline will position our facility to serve the increasingly important area of quantum materials. Further, a modern structural biology beamline with micro-focus capability, funded largely by Howard Hughes Medical Institute, will keep us on the frontier of biology and pharmaceutical research and allow us to continue to provide both industry and individual users with world-leading x-ray protein crystallography capability. More broadly, Deputy Director for Science Steve Kevan, together with the user community, has developed a new and comprehensive ALS Strategic Plan in which these projects emerged as leading opportunities.
Additionally, development of a scientific and technical case for a potential upgrade of the ALS to diffraction-limited x-rays from our storage ring continues to be encouraged by our users and staff, says Falcone. This upgrade, which would allow ALS to stay on a path of facility upgrades that has characterized 20 years of operation, would make the light source 100 times brighter and more coherent than at present, and would allow ALS users to excel in the understanding of modern, heterogeneous materials using chemical and 3D spatial resolution. These materials have properties that often vary on the nanoscale, and are important for basic energy science research and advanced technologies. Early technical and scientific ideas around this major ALS upgrade concept are being developed with resources from the LBNL Directorate Office.
In summary, a major theme this year will be prioritization, says Falcone. Together with determining how to optimize operations and become more efficient, we will focus on serving the increasing demand from users and producing even more science.
"In many ways, ALS has been prioritizing for the past 20 years, as our staff and users have always had more great ideas than the funding available to realize those ideas," says Falcone. "This constraint is a natural part of a competitive scientific community; it's perhaps just more intense right now."

It's got four peaks streaked with expert runs bearing names like "Avalanche," "Hari-Kari Gully," and "Shin-Splinter Spin Cycle."
OK, so I made that last one up. But the point is, Sugar Bowl Ski Resort has built a reputation in the Sierra as a playground for the powder gods, the skiers who say things like, "I only wore both skis on that last run because the lift guy made me."
But what about the rest of us? While our more-advanced friends head off for the double-diamond runs in the Sugar Bowl stratosphere, can we of limited balance still get our money's worth out of the $56 lift ticket?
The answer, in short, is "sure." This popular Donner-area resort gives beginners plenty to keep them busy for a full day of skiing, though that's about as long as chronic amateurs will probably want to spend until they're feeling ready for some fast-paced intermediate terrain.
Detention memories
Beyond the traditional color coding - green for beginners, black for experts - there are few easy ways to describe ski runs.
So, to better help you understand the types of intro-terrain at Sugar Bowl, I've developed a revolutionary new system that tells you everything you need to know by comparing runs to kids you used to get stuck with in middle school detention.
First, there's Marty, the geek. He's not a troublemaker; he's just waiting for his mom to bring him asthma medication. You don't have to fight a crowd to talk to him, but he can catch you up on homework like a champ.
Well, in this case, Marty is the section of Sugar Bowl served by the White Pine ski lift.
White Pine takes you on a brief trip to three super-short beginner runs, not counting the side route to the parking lot (a good reason to watch the signs). The Black Bear, Marmot and Pine Marten runs give you a lot of variety in a pretty small space.
They're not intimidating, and they offer a nice chance for first-timers to have some fun while getting those inaugural spills out of the way at a pretty low velocity.
On the other side of the resort, at the Village Lodge, there's a smaller set of similar runs served by the Nob Hill lift. These runs, Nob Hill and Union Street, are a bit of a step up from those at White Pine, but they lack the diversity of routes you can take in the learning area.
Movin' on up
Back in detention for a second, you've caught up on your math and social studies, and you're starting to get a bit tired of conversations that start out, "You know what else the rhinoceros beetle eats?"
So, you look around and find Robbie, a well-meaning but dimwitted kid who's itching for a game of paper football. Robbie doesn't teach you much, but he helps pass the time and get your mind off scholastics.
Robbie pretty much sums up the majority of longer green runs at Sugar Bowl.
They're generally a breeze to get on and down, with little in the way of intellectual stimulation. What they lack in variety they almost make up in length, though each tends to get a bit too obnoxious as you near the lodges and merge into oncoming traffic on surprisingly steep terrain.
You'll likely spend most of your time on Pioneer Trail and Sleigh Ride, the longest and most accessible of the moderate-difficulty greens. They can be relatively challenging, but they don't invigorate you about your new-found sport.
These routes aren't much of a shock, as green runs often seem to be like wide sidewalks along a dangerous freeway. They get you there, but when was the last time you heard someone say, "I just hoofed the most righteous sidewalk!" Yeah.
The ideal run
So, you've spent most of your detention hour learning stuff and putzing around. But there's still some time left, and that's when you notice Alyssa.
She's mysterious, aloof and seems to be cute, though it's hard to tell under her purple sweatshirt hood and those black gloves with silver rivets.
While the other kids are studying or goofing off, she's scratching Dead Kennedys lyrics into a weathered notebook. Though intimidated, you manage to strike up a conversation and find her to be fun, smart and still enigmatic enough to keep your interest indefinitely.
Alyssa is the middle-school manifestation of the one truly amazing green run at Sugar Bowl: Harriet's Hollow. It slices a curving trail through the mid-mountain woods and lets you enjoy your scenic surroundings without fearing for your life.
This is the kind of run you picture in your dreams of advanced skiing, though you get all the joys here without the high probability of tree collision. Any falls, any frustrations from the day are more than made up for by this excellent path.
Well, that's more information than I'm sure you needed for a beginner's sojourn to Sugar Bowl. Hope I didn't remind you too much of the times you had to stay after school, filling the chalkboard with, "I will not say my teacher's bottom looks like an Erlenmeyer flask."
Rookie report card: Sugar Bowl
Category Grade Notes
Parking A - Get to the Mount Judah lot before 9 a.m. and you're set.
Lines/crowds B - Packed but relatively well managed.
Green run variety B - About 10 green runs diverse enough to keep you busy.
Green run quality B+ -Great intro terrain. Longer runs are a bit steep for true beginners.
Price C -$56 lift ticket on weekend. Try for the limited $39 tickets at Safeway.
Lodge B -Expensive and bland lodges, but bonus points for outdoor barbecues.
Overall B - It's an expert skiers' paradise, but beginners aren't left out of the fun.

COLUMBIANA-Salem senior wide receiver Marcus Crittenden has been best friends with his Quaker teammate linebacker Logan Taylor for as long as he can remember.
When the duo takes the field together at Springfield High School next Friday for the 35th annual Penn-Ohio Stateline Classic, they hope it won't be for the last time.
Crittenden-who will play football at Hiram College this fall-is trying his best to persuade Taylor to join him.
"I've been trying to get Logan to come up and play with me next year," Crittenden laughed. "I think I'm starting to convince him. he said he's going to try and get ahold of the coaches."
For his part, Taylor is non-committal about whether he will try to continue his football career past next Friday's game.
"It's going to be a last minute decision," Taylor said. "I've battled back injuries this year, and a lot of it will depend on how I do Friday and if I feel healthy enough to play. I haven't looked at any other schools."
Crittenden and Taylor-who say they have been friends since kindergarten-have seen their bond grow over the years through football.
"Marcus and I have gotten a lot closer through football these last few years," Taylor said. "Obviously we didn't win as many games as we wanted, but it was a lot of fun playing with him and everybody else on the team."
"I played varsity as a freshman, which was a great experience," Crittenden said, "But at the same time, I missed playing with Logan and the rest of my classmates. We had fun playing together."
Together, Taylor and Crittenden provided an athletic jolt for Quaker teams that struggled to a 3-17 record the last two years with one Northeastern Buckeye Conference win.
During the 2013 season, Taylor-who also saw occasional duty at safety-flew all around the field on his way to a team-high 126 tackles. The Quaker defense gave up 60, 63 and 74 points during one three game stretch, but Taylor was a bright spot.
"It got tough at times," Taylor said. "But I don't think we ever quit on ourselves, which was big. The whole team stayed pretty upbeat."
Crittneden proved to be a versatile asset for the Quakers, using his speed to make an impact at receiver, defensive back and on special teams. He saved his best game for last, racking up 244 yards of total offense and three touchdowns as the Quakers beat archrival West Branch 48-33 for their first conference win since 2011.
"To go out with a game like that was huge," Crittenden said. "I'll remember it forever. We didn't win a lot over the last couple of years, but I learned to not worry about record so much and to still enjoy having fun on the field."
Crittenden and Taylor will try to have as much fun as possible on Friday, hoping it won't be the last time they are on the field together, but playing like it might.
"Coming into this year, Logan and I thought it would be our last year together," Crittenden said. "But the possibility we might play in college together is really exciting. I think it would be one of the best experiences I've had."
"It might be the last game I play, it might not," Taylor said. "I just want to go out there and make the most of my opportunity to play on this team."
Crittenden-who is not running track at Hiram-was a part of two state-qualifying (2012, 2014) 1600-meter relay teams for the Salem boys track team. Which sport does he prefer?
"I love scoring touchdowns and hitting people," Crittenden said. "But it's hard to beat going to state. In that aspect, I would have to say I like track more.
Crittenden played on the Quakers last state playoff team as a freshman in 2010. He was a teammate of quarterback Trent Toothman, who played linebacker at Ball State before leaving the team due to knee injuries.
"Obviously going from making the playoffs as a freshman to not getting back again is tough," Crittenden said. "It doesn't get much better playing with an athlete like Toothman. After that season, we thought we might have a chance to get back, but we knew it would be hard to have a team as good as that one."

Naturally, It Begins with a Question.
What is the nature of being human, and how do the arts shape our perceptions of the spiritual and physical worlds?
We'll delve into this question and learn how the arts create cultural, political and personal change through the many facets of nature during the third annual "Rites. Rights. Writes."
"Rites. Rights. Writes." is a university-wide exploration of the influence of the arts across the multiple dimensions and discourse communities of our lives. It was inspired in 2013 by the 100th anniversary of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and the compelling challenges of advancing global human rights in the 21st century. This year, "Rites. Rights. Writes." will give us the opportunity to reflect on multiple topics inherent in Prokofiev's ballet version of the Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet: What is our nature? Who are we? How do we define ourselves?
Our focus this year continues to build on learning, contemporary developments and discoveries as we act to improve global conditions.
Main Events
Musical performances, art exhibitions, lectures, colloquia and conferences will inspire us to reflect on the complex connections of human nature and the natural world that lives within all of us — especially in the broader context of academic exploration.
Campuswide Series
- Campus Cultural Connections
- Don Quixote
- It's Your Nature events
- Michael Bashaw — sustainability artist in residence
- Romeo and Juliet / Shakespeare
2015-16 Season: "Romeo and Juliet"
This year's Arts Immersion will take place on April 3, 2016 at the Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center in Downtown Dayton with a performance of "Romeo and Juliet." A series of informational videos has been created to provide a variety of perspectives for this classic story by William Shakespeare. View Episode 5 below.

Genome Sequencing and Analysis Program
The Broad's Genome Sequencing and Analysis Program (GSAP) brings together a scientific community focused on deciphering the important information encoded in the human and other genomes. Understanding these components is fundamental to the study of human evolution and physiology.
GSAP scientists work closely with collaborators in the Genomics Platform on a variety of de novo and resequencing projects.
I. Major Scientific Areas
Microbial and Insect Vector Genomes
Microorganisms (including fungi, bacteria, and viruses) and insect vectors are both key model systems for genomics and important organisms for clinical medicine. Scientists in the Broad community are sequencing and analyzing the genomes of a wide range of insects and microorganisms to understand their genetic regulation, population variation, and specialized genomic mechanisms.
Go to Fungal Genome Initiative
Go to Viral Genomics Initiative
Vertebrate Genome Biology
One of the most powerful ways to understand the human genome is by directly comparing it with other mammalian and vertebrate genomes. Evolution tends to conserve the sequences of functional elements, allowing them to stand out above background. Broad scientists are leading a national program to sequence the genomes of more than 20 mammalian species, with the goal of obtaining enough comparative information to recognize those functional elements that are conserved across all mammals. Comparing these sequences also reveals information about the evolutionary constraints and innovations in the class Mammalia. In addition, artificial or natural selective pressures have shaped key vertebrate genomes, including the dog and stickleback fish, allowing important traits and disease genes to be readily identified and studied in these organisms.
II. Research and Development
Genome Annotation and Informatics
Genomic information is being collected at an unprecedented pace. A dedicated team of Broad researchers harnesses both experimental and computational approaches to analyze these data and to assign structural and functional information to key genome components.
Computational Research and Development
Sophisticated computational methods and tools enable scientists to effectively mine the data generated by genomic analyses. The Broad's team of computational researchers develops and applies these approaches to help answer a vast array of important biological questions.
Molecular Biology Research and Develoment
Advances in DNA sequencing technologies are revolutionizing the depth, breadth and pace of biomedical research. Researchers in the Broad's Genome Sequencing and Analysis Program use, develop and enhance these technologies for a range of laboratory applications.

Winchester PDX-1 .410 shells ... .410 derringer
If it holds any kind of pattern with all the stuff the Winchester shell is loaded with (shot plus "defense discs"), it should probably do about as well as anything else. I'd guess you only have about 1/2" to 1" of barrel in front of the shotgun shell in a derringer, and that's not going to help matters much with either velocity or patterning. I've never shot one to pattern with anything at all, but it's my guess the short barrel will prove to be your biggest disadvantage with that particular gun. But only experimentation can answer those questions - shoot various loads and test both penetration and patterning to see what you can expect out of it.

I have no sympathy for thugs who rob, (delted a word for forcible, non-consensual sexual relations), maim, kill, etc, and if in stopping them I kill them, so be it. They put themselves in harms way.
The idea is to stop the attack. Sometimes killing is required to do so. It is completely up to the thug who is committing the crime. If when they are told to freeze, drop any weapon, and lay face down, they choose to do so, their lives are not in jeopardy. If instead they choose to attack, they take their health and well being into their own hands.
What reason do I need to believe that? It speaks for its self. If you believe differently, OK.
If you truly believe what you say, debate it, don't bow out. AC
Do you ever wonder why nobody ever robs the bag man for the mob? No, you don't.

If you're asking about a derringer then I think that's a whole different animal (as compared to an 18"+ bbl longarm).
I won't attempt to put words om MB's mouth but I believe he's addressing the larger guns.
If I'm in a self defense situation I'm sticking with A)simple and B)most effective. Simple 00 fits both those criteria. Woodsman, I understand what you are saying but I agree with MB's point:
I'm no expert and I'm not sure how comfortable I am trying to work with a less-than-most-effective tool especially when my life is at stake. It's not that I want to kill anyone, it's just that I really, really, really don't want to get killed myself. I think I can get that idea across to a jury.
Everybody has their own opinions/methods. Good luck whichever you choose. Stay safe.

Factory websites should provide muzzle velocity of pretty much any load the company offers. I've only used one 8 00 pellet load, and that was red hull Hornady TAP (full velocity, 1600 FPS, http://www.hornadyle.com/products/mo...6&sID=82&pID=1). The blue hull version is the RR 8 pellet 00 load, listed at 1100 FPS ( http://www.hornadyle.com/products/mo...6&sID=81&pID=1 ).

On paper, 1 looks very good. But, some of us who have been doing this for a long time have yet to find a load of 1 buck that patterns tightly without flyers.
Inside, that may not be a problem due to proximity. But, we can never be completely sure we will not need a shotgun outside during crisis points.
In the scenarios we may have to deal with, collateral damage is unacceptable.

Oh yeah, the Hornady also patterns better than anything else I've tried. Very tight, all of them go evenly in a saucer or desert plate at close to moderate range. The wad is the secret. I think Federal uses something similar. With proper shot placement, this is devastating. The wost patterns I've seen come from Fiocchi and other cheaper loads that use cardboard wads. Uneven, erratic, and wide. Some people like this though?

Seals used #4 to break ambushes in Vietnam with full auto shotguns. 200+ pellets in the air in a second or two. The Winchester XX load, 3" mag, has 41 or 42 pellets! It also has the most recoil of any shotgun shell I've fired since I was 8.

I really like buck and ball, the concept anyway. But there isn't a really well designed one out there. There is the Centurion, one ball and six buck (00? I think there are ones with #4 and #1 too). Not the best pattern. Then there is the Winchester buck and slug. Very promising looking, it has a rifled slug UNDER three 00 buck. It patterns like you'd expect: one slug in the middle with a triad of buck around the slug. The catch? Probably because the slug is under the buck, it tends to spread very rapidly. You will have a flier in distances over a few yards. The slug also gets a little deformed through firing. But a little over 1000fps, this load would be a fight ender. I really would like to see one done with the buck under the slug and engineered to pattern tight.

In a self defense / home defense scenario, there is a subtle but critical difference between "stop the attack" and the end game I believe is the right one: "neutralize the aggressor."
"Stop the attack," which can be accomplished in many ways including simply scaring the bad guy away, and you might do nothing more than set the attacker on your less well protected neighbor. "Neutralize the aggressor" means render him unable to continue his agressive activity. Not unwilling, not somewhere else. Unable. That is the desired outcome of the encounter.
To the original question, as I recall it, that's 00 buck in as large a dose as it takes.
Many seek the ruler's favor; but every man's judgment comes from the LORD.

Would one expect to have penetration problems using #1 if the attacker was wearing a lot of clothing or light jacket/hoodie?

I know there is a company that offers a three pellet load but I wonder if four can be placed inside the 3-inch shell.
Could make the .410 even better for SD use and should be able to put a lot of wallop on four legged ner do wells.

My thought is that part of choosing the proper ammo for an HD shotgun is considering what happens to those pellets that miss the target. In other words, the choice for a rural homeowner who knows his "misses" are going to hit nothing but his own brick home may be different from the urban apartment dweller with neighbors (much) less than a foot of drywall away. When I am in urban homes, I choose #4 buck due to its lesser penetration. At my rural home, I choose #00 or #01 buck.
Megan Elizabeth, I miss you so much.

I also seem to recall that the tri-ball is designed to punch one deep hole. They almost go in a line. They don't deform much either. A slug would probably do the same thing a tri-ball would at defensive distances.
I can't imagine anyone going with anything short of the Hornady TAP FPD 00. That stuff is just amazing. Saucer size groups, 8 holes, high velocity, reduced recoil. All in one package. Wow.

20ga can use #1 buckshot as I load a lot of it in the 20ga.
#1 buckshot is recommended over all other shot sizes by the IWBA, even 00 buck.

Nothing else hits like a Rhino.
The best caliber for African dangerous game is accurate shot placement and good bullet performance.

has anyone patterned their guns?
I keep my shotgun loaded with #4 buck for a couple reasons . 1st it patterned better in my gun than the 0 and 00 buck at ranges from 7 to 25 yards . 2nd I have seen hogs shot broadside with #4 from 25 yards with several pellets passing through . Also have any of you ever fired shot through a rifled shotgun barrel ? If you really want spread that is what you use ! Unfortunatly the effective range is radically reduced ! Pattern your guns at the intended distances ,then check at your estimated maximum range ! Kevin

Amen to that! I had 29 years "on the job" and can well remember the calming effect that sound made by racking the slide on one of those 870 Wingmasters had on folks standing around with bad intentions on their mind.

Kevin, There's a guy named Vang that does a heck of a business boring and reshaping the bore to internally choke 12 gauge barrels. They shoot unbelievably tight shot groups with buckshot even out at 25 yards. He has a website under his name and does a lot of work for police agencies. When I looked into it, you send him your shotgun barrel and turn over time was about a week. I don't remember his exact prices other than to say it was probably around $200 or slightly less.

I'm in favor of bird shot unless you live on a farm. In close quarters bird shot equals massive blood loss and maximum wound area.

Stopping the attack for me means, if, the threat is such I have no time to offer them an opportunity to surrender, I am going to take a shot that is amied at center mass using the shotgun or pistol most available, and loaded with ammunition that is certain to do it's job, even if it should result in the death of an armed criminal.
But I also live in a state that puts the burden of proof on LE, not the potential victim. Prior to our changes in SD laws in my state, if was an iffy situation in which LE did put the burden of proof upon the victim. Stand your ground comes to mind, and castle doctrin. I am by no means an expert, but since the changes have been made to our SD laws in my state, I have inquired, and been fully advised by an attorney that represents both the state and defense entities regarding where we stand as potential victims and lethal force. Now with these changes in place, it is not even necessary that a threat be armed with any weapon, but that if they refuse to back off or other wise retreat we are within our legal right to utilize lethal deadly force. Expert legal advice trumps a general opinion that may likely be based on old SD laws, or those of a less conservative entity. Bottom line, when my life, or that of a loved one is in danger of being physically harmed, I am not going to have any consideration for the degree of physical damage my firearm or ammunition may inflict, other than to say it will be of such degree to stop the threat with confidence.

A draft environmental impact statement for a project to replace the Portageville Bridge in Letchworth State Park is available for public review.
The Portageville Bridge Replacement Project would modernize the rail line and allow the Norfolk Southern railroad to move moere quickly across the Genesee River on a new, $69 million bridge just south of the existing structure.
The existing bridge, built in 1875 and on the National Historic Register, could be preserved or demolished, and the state Department of Transportation is soliciting comments about its fate.
The environmental statement is available for review at www.dot.ny.gov/portagevillebridge. Hard copies are available at several locations, including Letchworth State Park Visitor's Center, Carlisle.
Public comments can be made until Feb. 1 at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by mail to: Raymond F. Hessinger, director of the Freight and Passenger Rail Bureau; state Department of Transportation, 50 Wolf Road, Albany, 12232.

Details of The Four Tops and the Ticket Luck value
One of the most popular and long lived vocal groups of the early fifties, The Four Tops is respected in the music industry not only because of soul music but also due to its chemistry. The group did not have any change in its lineup since formation and the members have enjoyed every moment of success together since four decades. The quartet has produced a number of Billboard Hot 100 number one hit singles such as I Can't help Myself, Reach Out, I'll be There, Bernaddte and others and has won a number of awards including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009. Its upcoming live performance is being anticipated to give a flash back of the hits ranging from the era of early fifties to date. But The Four Tops tickets to have a great time.
The Four Tops teamed up in high school when Levi Stubbs, Obie Benson, Roquel Davis and Duke got together with the same area of interest and joined hands to make music together. Starting off from a small scale, they got the opportunity to get into a deal with Chess Records in the mid nineties and it was a good start to step into the music industry and introduce its own style of soul, jazz and R&B music. It also got into a contract with the Columbia and Riverside Records but didn't manage to bring any major hit on the music charts. Despite this, the group did well and was able to achieve national reach with the frequent live tours conducted in several cities.
In the late fifties, the group joined the famous Motown Record Company. This was the time, it recorded a number of jazz singles such as Run Run Run, My Baby Loves Me and others. With years of practicing, by the mid sixties, the group composed an instrumental song that was later changed into a pop single named 'Baby I need your loving'. This was the turning point in its career and got it ranked on the US Billboard pop charts at 11th position. It didn't take long for the song to cross the boundaries of fame and helped the group increase its fan following. This single was a trend setter for hits and was followed by a number of songs that made it straight to the top positions on music charts. They include Ask The Lonely, Without The One You Love, It's The Same Old Song and Something About You. The era of seventies, provided the group with experience of working with one of the top bands of the music industry, The Supremes and came up with albums such as The Magnificent Seven. The Four Tops did not stick to Motown Records only but signed deal with Casablanca and ABC Records as well. It kept on experimenting and the era of eighties got it into a deal with Motown Records again. From the late eighties onwards till the nineties, the group released only one studio album and focused on the live performances and tours.
The Four Tops has released 32 studio albums so far and its list of achievements is highlighted by a number of awards and honors such as the inclusion in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame, 100 Greatest Artists of All Times and many others of the sort. The group's concert will be a classy flashback of the golden hits starting from the era of fifties to date and will entertain audiences from all over the world with the contemporary and traditional pop and rock hits. Persistency is one thing that The Four Tops has maintained since its formation and today even after four decades, with the original lineup, the group sticks to the same quality of music that it made in the past. So get ready to listen to the best music from the eras of fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties and get your The Four Tops tickets right away!

UPDATE: I asked NBA PR man Tim Frank about flopping and he said, "Flopping has been discussed amongst the competition committee many times in the past but there are no plans to make any changes in this area."
I'm moving on from the Chris Paul stuff. Promise. After this.
Flopping is absolutely part of the game and some might see it as a smart play. You can get your team in the bonus faster, put fouls on another player and potentially force a turnover or get two free throws. If it works, why not do it?
But flopping is one of the reasons Americans hate soccer so much. There's just no honor in it. Instead of playing the game straight up, you resort to cheap tactics to try and put fouls on someone. Maybe it's gamesmanship, maybe it's a clever, savvy move. Or maybe it's just chump. (Then again, one might be able to apply that same sentence to KD's "rip move" as well. I see a flop and the rip as two different things entirely though.)
Flopping is absolutely within the rules. It's fair to do. The game moves so fast that it's hard for officials to really see what happens. That's why flopping works. A player fakes a foul, goes sprawling on the floor and he gets a whistle. To me though, it's dishonorable. There's a difference in flopping in the open floor by crumbling to the floor with no contact and someone falling down on a driving layup attempt. Both are trying to draw fouls, yes. But one is creating the illusion that there was a foul by acting and exaggerating, the other is a common thing when players go flying into the lane.
In the end, Chris Paul is still an awesome basketball player. Maybe the best point guard in the game. But he has a reputation for this stuff, as well as taking cheap shots. I just don't understand why a player of his caliber resorts to it. Other players flop and fall. Heck, when Nick Collison takes a charge most of the time the force of the offensive player isn't enough to actually bull him over. But it's just not the same as sprawling out at halfcourt trying to put a ticky-tack foul on Westbrook.
Flopping is part of the game and it's not going anywhere. But there's a reason you only see a select few players do it. It's one of those unwritten things you don't do and if do use it, you take a hit for it. Like Chris Paul has in my mind.

Just about everyone I know, both men and women, all have one beauty item in common and that is lip balm. A lot of men may be hesitant to regard lip balm as a beauty item, but regardless they carry it around in their pockets anyway on a regular basis and most women seem to never ever be without lip balm in their purses, desk drawers, night stands, etc. and I am no exception. For me, lip balm is a necessity and I love experimenting with different flavors, brands, scents and packaging because in this economy, it is one of the few beauty items that one can experiment with that won't break the bank.

Albert Nerken School of Engineering
With an average enrollment of about 550 students, The Albert Nerken School of Engineering is the largest of Cooper Union's schools. The Nerken School maintains small class and laboratory enrollment to ensure personal attention. Top-ranked in undergraduate engineering, the Nerken School offers degree programs in civil, chemical, mechanical and electrical engineering, which are individually accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
Graduates are recruited regularly by companies nationwide. Alumni are found in the top management and research leadership of many American corporations, hold key positions in federal, state and city agencies, and distinguish themselves on university faculties and administrations nationwide. Through their many and varied professional accomplishments, they exemplify Cooper Union's reputation for excellence.
Degree programs are designed to allow students to enter the profession immediately after graduation or to pursue graduate study. The integrated master's program offers the opportunity to earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree in four or five years. An extraordinary number of Cooper Union graduates have gone on to earn Ph.D. degrees at the nation's most prestigious graduate schools.
Like Cooper Union's other schools, the Albert Nerken School of Engineering is intimately involved with the New York metropolitan area. The School draws on the region's abundant talent and resources, including the outstanding array of engineers and scientists employed at major corporations, governmental agencies and consulting firms in the New York region. The School also calls on physicians, lawyers and other specialists to give unique insights into contemporary problems and social issues confronting modern engineers.
Students benefit from close contact with faculty and the School's devoted alumni, who are pleased to share their experiences and insights with students and in serving as role models. Many undergraduate students also work on significant research projects with faculty, an unusual feature in most undergraduate programs.
The curriculum focuses around three basic values: technological and scientific competence, balance between theory and practice, and consideration of the societal and holistic aspects of engineering. First-year students, regardless of major, take the same core curriculum in the fundamentals of mathematics, chemistry, physics and computer-aided design, as well as liberal arts courses. The first-year program features a unique design course in which students work in groups toward solving urban problems, such as traffic gridlock and solid waste disposal.
In the second year, students begin engineering course work. Third and fourth-year students take part in individual and team design projects in state-of-the-art laboratories. They also take advanced courses offered in four major disciplines: civil, chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering, as well as courses in engineering science and interdisciplinary engineering. All students—undergraduate and graduate—have open access to extensive computer facilities and laboratories.
The School of Engineering offers master's degree programs in each of the traditional disciplines. Interdisciplinary studies are encouraged in a number of areas, such as computer systems, robotics, biomedical topics, environmental issues, and materials.
The faculty are committed teachers. Many carry out advanced research for government agencies and industry through the C.V. Starr Research Foundation at The Cooper Union. With an annual budget of more than $1 million, The Foundation employs undergraduate and graduate students in a wide array of research projects that have been funded by such agencies as NASA, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, Consolidated Edison and the federal departments of commerce and energy. This research has led to an alternative technology to recover energy from sewage sludge; a pollution-control computer model to eliminate odors in urban harbors; a dolphin-shaped robot to inspect the inside of pipelines for structural defects; a computer model to predict the performance of gasification plants that synthesize fuels from coal; a nonsmudging newsprint ink and a better adhering asphalt for road repair.

Trident Academy, an independent school located in Mount Pleasant, is announcing a new plan to serve the greater Charleston community by helping bright students find bright futures. Trident Academy is entering its fifth decade as a nationally-recognized leader in educating students with language-based learning differences – such as dyslexia. Now, the school will expand to include the Center for Learning Differences Education and will also begin serving a new group of students in the School for Asperger's/HFA at Trident Academy. A community open house will be held on Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 10 a.m. at Trident Academy (1455 Wakendaw Rd.).
"As we acknowledged our 40th milestone, the board of trustees felt it was time to look to Trident Academy's next 40 years with the same sense of purpose, vision and community as our founders," says Margaret MacDonald, president of Trident Academy's Board of Trustees. "Our goal today is the same as it was 40 years ago – to respond to the needs of our community and provide a solution for parents."
The School for Asperger's/HFA at Trident Academy is now accepting inquiries for kindergarten, first and second grade for the 2013-14 school year. One additional grade will be added each year through grade eight. The school will serve students diagnosed with HFA and Asperger's Syndrome through a strong academic program coupled with intensive and research-based intervention in a supportive and nurturing environment. The school operates as a separate program from the School for Language Based Learning at Trident Academy. All classes will follow the Common Core Curriculum while incorporating a specified social skills curriculum. The focus is on language, social skills and school-ready behavior to ensure a successful transition to a conventional school.
Dr. Frampton Gwynette, Medical University of South Carolina child and adolescent psychiatrist and director of Project Rex says, "The decision by Trident Academy to open this school specializing in children with Asperger's/HFA is a major breakthrough for the Charleston community This will fulfill a long-standing need in the region, and I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with Trident Academy on this very important effort."
The Center for Learning Differences Education will include tutoring (academic therapy), the accredited Orton-Gillingham Training Program for teachers, and an ongoing parent education component. The center centralizes all of Trident Academy's community outreach, reinforcing the school's reputation as the hub of learning difference education in the Charleston region.
The School for Language Based Learning at Trident Academy will continue to be Trident Academy's signature program as one of 11 certified Orton-Gillingham programs. The Orton-Gillingham approach emphasizes instruction that is individual, diagnostic, and prescriptive for cognitively capable students diagnosed with language learning differences. Class sizes will remain appropriately small with academics following the Common Core Curriculum, while the school continues its commitment as a partner and consultant to parents.

Despite his present high ratings, when the show's long-running host Jay Leno's contract expires in the fall of 2014, he will be succeeded by current Late Night host Jimmy Fallon, 38, reports Thursday's The New York Times.
Furthermore, according to the paper, once the shift takes place, the program will move back to New York – the original home to the show, starting in 1954, with Steve Allen, and then, Jack Paar, as host, until 1972, when Johnny Carson (who took over in 1962) moved the show west, where it has remained ever since.
Carson, it was said, wanted access to Hollywood stars and to enjoy the California lifestyle.
Fallon's Late Night is already in New York, at NBC's Studios in Rockefeller Center – 30 Rock. The Hollywood Reporter says an official announcement will be made at the May upfronts.
The trade journal also points to a quote from Late Night executive producer Lorne Michaels in the April GQ: "I'm not allowed to say it – yet. But I think there's an inevitability to it. He's the closest to Carson that I've seen of this generation."
During Wednesday night's monologue, Leno, 62, who succeeded Johnny Carson upon his retirement in 1992, made no mention of the prospective changeover, though he did take a shot at his network for its low ratings.
NBC has not commented – its New York affiliate WNBC reported The Times story Thursday morning in a straightforward fashion. Still, it is said that the network wishes to avoid the problems and bad press it encountered three years ago when Leno, who was moved to prime time, and Conan O'Brien, who took over Tonight, essentially played musical chairs with the late-night program.
O'Brien was eventually sent packing, and is now on TBS. Meanwhile, on ABC, Jimmy Kimmel's show is gaining ratings traction and cachet in the Tonight timeslot. On CBS, David Letterman – who wished to replace Carson on Tonight in 1992 – sarcastically soldiers on.

In recent years, Dirks Field has been paradise for the Fort Lewis College men�s soccer team, a place where losses and ties for the home side were few and far between.
This year, it�s slowly becoming a house of horrors for the Skyhawks.
FLC played CSU-Pueblo to a 0-0 tie Friday at Dirks Field, again struggling to muster the kind of opportunities to finish that carried it to a national championship a season ago.
�We definitely had chances, but unfortunately the hardest thing to do in any sport is put the ball in the net or the hoop, and that�s what we�re struggling with right now,� FLC head coach Oige Kennedy said.
The draw dropped FLC�s home record in 2012 to 1-2-2, with the lone victory a 1-0 triumph over Adams State on Sept. 21. Since that victory, the Skyhawks (7-4-2, 4-3-2 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) are 0-2-1 on their home pitch.
�I don�t even know. I think a lot of us don�t even know the answer to that. It�s kind of a mystery,� midfielder Daniel Wilson said of FLC�s recent home struggles.
The Skyhawks had a couple of chances in the first half to get on the board, but both were turned away by metal. Johannes Sander�s cross to Trevor Gibbons resulted in a shot off the crossbar in the 14th minute, and Artur Piperkov�s odd-angle free kick later in the half curled off the same crossbar. FLC couldn�t capitalize on a 12-1 edge in shots in the half.
The Skyhawks mustered few chances in the second half as the ThunderWolves (4-7-2, 2-5-2 RMAC) began to control a few stretches of possession as they pushed for an upset. While CSU-Pueblo managed just three shots in the half, it held the Skyhawks to just three, as well, and the Skyhawks were unable to capitalize on five corner kicks in the frame.
�It becomes pretty difficult, but you�ve got to put that out of your mind and keep going forward. ... It�s a bit frustrating, but you�ve got to keep moving forward when things happen like that,� Wilson said of the shots off the crossbar.
FLC had one final chance to net the game-winner, with Piperkov taking a free kick with 5 seconds left in the second overtime from much the same spot as the one that hit the crossbar. But his cross attempt didn�t find a head as time expired.
Ryan Schaul made five saves for his fifth shutout of the season, with a couple of tough saves keeping the Skyhawks in the match. His diving save in overtime on Chad Smith�s chance was the best of the bunch.
FLC played without striker Kosta Kordistos for undisclosed reasons. Kordistos, the Most Outstanding Player of last year�s final four, was in street clothes.
Also missing was central midfielder Alberto Capdepon, who Kennedy said would miss �a couple weeks� with an injury suffered Sunday against Adams State. Wilson started in his place.
The draw may have been the final nail in the coffin concerning FLC�s NCAA Tournament hopes. The South Central Region only has three available spots, and Regis, Incarnate Word, West Texas A&M and Midwestern State currently are ranked in the top 25 and ahead of FLC in the regional rankings.
�It hurts us quite a bit. Obviously, ties will kill you,� Kennedy said.

New on Chinatown Menu: A Place to Live
While Manhattan's Chinatown is known the world over for its restaurants, gift shops and food markets, the neighborhood receives far less attention as a desirable place to live.
However, the housing stock in the bustling tourist destination is sought after not only by Chinese-Americans and Chinese immigrants, but increasingly by others drawn to its proximity to the trendy Lower East Side and well-heeled SoHo and TriBeCa.
"The buyers here are mostly not Asian," Patrick Lam, a broker with Douglas Elliman, said of apartment sales at a new condo at 138 E. Broadway.
Instead, Mr. Lam said, many of the buyers have been from outside the U.S.—including some from Russia, England and Sweden—and most are "very young, between 25 and 45 years old." They are attracted because the building is close to the Lower East Side's night life and other cultural offerings, he said.
Despite its proximity, Chinatown still feels far removed from nearby neighborhoods. Fishmongers on Canal Street compete with open-air fruit peddlers, while the busy storefronts on Pell, Baxter, Mulberry and Mott streets include Chinese restaurants, acupressure parlors and stores selling both Buddha statues and New York-centric tourist souvenirs.
If You're Browsing for a Home in Chinatown...
But within the 20 or so blocks making up Chinatown, there are residential areas that are quite different from the packed commercial streets for which Chinatown is best known.
Jack Spencer, an agent with Stribling who is marketing a condo at 135 Division St., said he "wondered about whether to list the building as being on the Lower East Side or Chinatown in terms of who it would attract." In the end, he said, "I've gotten far more attention with it listed as Chinatown."
Mr. Spencer said that 70% of the people who have looked at the condo have been either Chinese-American or Chinese, but echoed Mr. Lam's assertion that the area is also attractive to prospective buyers who want to be near the Lower East Side.
While the majority of Chinatown's population is Chinese or Chinese-American, a report released earlier this year by the Asian American Federation analyzing the 2010 Census showed that there were 15% fewer Asian residents in the neighborhood than in 2000.
The current median asking price for homes in the neighborhood is $825,000, according to the real-estate listings site StreetEasy.
Compared with other neighborhoods close by, though, Chinatown has relatively few condos, co-ops and townhouses on the market: StreetEasy shows around 30 properties for sale in Chinatown, while the Lower East Side, SoHo and TriBeCa each have more than 100 listings.
Several factors account for the relative scarcity of for-sale listings, including the fact that most of Chinatown's tenement-style buildings are rentals. Meanwhile, the bulk of new construction in the past few years has been commercial properties, including hotels such as a 106-room Wyndham Garden that opened earlier this month and the 34-room Hotel Mulberry, which opened in 2010.
Another factor is that "few listings trade because they're passed between Chinese families," said Mr. Spencer.
Parks: Columbus Park, at Baxter and Bayard streets, is typically a hive of activity, with a sports field, basketball courts, picnic tables and a pavilion. Between 2003 and 2007 the city extensively renovated the park. Crowds gather to play cards, listen to concerts and take part in activities like Tai Chi.
Schools: Chinatown's public elementary schools include Public School 124, the Yung Wing School, which has a gifted and talented program, and where 77% of students met state reading standards in the 2011-12 school year and 90% met math standards. At nearby P.S. 184 Shuang Wen, which has a dual Mandarin-English program, 89% of students met reading standards and 98% met math standards. At Middle School 131, 29% of students met reading standards and 68% met math standards. Pace High School has a 92% graduation rate.
Dining: It is possible to find cuisine from nearly every region in China among Chinatown's hundreds of restaurants, though the most prevalent is Cantonese. East Ocean Seafood Restaurant offers Hong Kong and Chinese-American staples like lo mein alongside less common fare, like duck's tongue. Meanwhile, Joe's Shanghai is well known for Shanghainese dishes, particularly soup dumplings. Other types of Asian cuisine to sample in the neighborhood include Vietnamese at Nha Trang One.
Shopping: Aside from the plethora of tourist-centric shops selling items such as "I Love New York" T-shirts, more specialized stores include Yunhong Chopsticks, which sells high-end, intricately designed chopsticks that can run more than $100 a pair. Sun's Organic Tea Shop sells dozens of types of carefully curated tea.
Entertainment: The Museum of Chinese in America has changing exhibitions and events; the current one, "Marvels and Monsters," explores how Asian images have been used in comic books.
Corrections & Amplifications

Predicting Fair Use
Matthew Sag
Loyola University Chicago School of Law
February 25, 2012
Ohio State Law Journal, Vol. 73:1 47-91 (2012)
Loyola University Chicago School of Law Research Paper No. 2012-005
Fair use is often criticized as unpredictable and doctrinally incoherent - a conclusion which necessarily implies that the copyright system is fundamentally broken. This article confronts that critique by systematically assessing the predictability of fair use outcomes in litigation. Concentrating on characteristics of the contested use that would be apparent to litigants pre-trial, this study tests a number of doctrinal assumptions, claims and intuitions that have not, until now, been subject to empirical scrutiny.
This article presents new empirical evidence for the significance of transformative use in determining the outcomes of fair use cases. It also substantially undermines conceptions of the doctrine that are hostile to fair use claims by commercial entities and that would restrict limit the application of fair use as a subsidy or a redistributive tool favoring the politically and economically disadvantaged. Based on the available evidence, the fair use doctrine is more rational and consistent than is commonly assumed.

Justice Ginsburg on Law — and Opera
CASTLETON, Va.–With discord likely to characterize Monday's Supreme Court ruling on contraceptive coverage under the Affordable Care Act, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent the weekend immersed in something more harmonious: the world of Puccini, Bizet and Gilbert & Sullivan.
Months ago, when the Supreme Court expected to finish its business by June 26, Justice Ginsburg had scheduled her visit to the Castleton Festival, a music and theater extravaganza the conductor Lorin Maazel and his wife, actress Dietlinde Maazel, hold at their 600-acre farm in rural Virginia. Though the court missed its target, Justice Ginsburg kept her date, presenting for an audience of 138 a program mixing two of her passions, "Law in Opera."

She drew out legal themes in a dozen different works, punctuating her lecture with selections performed by opera students participating in the festival. "Madame Butterfly" stood for contract law, in that Pinkerton's 999-year lease of a Nagasaki house includes the services of the titular geisha. "Carmen" illuminated criminal law, as in the gypsy siren's "plea bargain," as Justice Ginsburg put it, with Don Jose to avoid jail. And from the light opera "Iolanthe," Justice Ginsburg introduced the Lord Chancellor, a walking "violation of separation of powers," she said.
"The Law is the true embodiment/Of everything that's excellent./It has no kind of fault or flaw,/And I, my Lords, embody the Law," the Lord Chancellor sings.
The varying examples each involved "a topic that is on my mind every day," Justice Ginsburg said, whether law should be interpreted strictly, or flexibly. And that question was illustrated by a unique portion of her program, selections from the as-yet produced opera, "Scalia/Ginsburg."
Justice Ginsburg introduced the work's author, Derrick Wang, who holds degrees in both music and law and said he was inspired by the operatic quality of Justice Scalia's dissents. Recognizing that Justices Scalia and Ginsburg not only are often ideological opposites, but also longtime friends and opera devotees, Mr. Wang told the audience the relationship between the two was tailor-made for the form.
Mr. Wang drew his libretto in large part from actual opinions and public remarks by the jurists, while his score incorporates a series of musical homages and jokes.
"Oh Ruth, can you read? You're aware of the text,/Yet so proudly you've failed to derive its true meaning," the character of Justice Scalia sings, with a melodic reference to "The Star Spangled Banner."
"You are searching in vain for a bright-line solution. To a problem that isn't so easy to solve–/But the beautiful thing about our Constitution/Is that, like our society, it can evolve," Justice Ginsburg's character retorts, with musical references to newer jazz and pop styles creeping in.
The real Justice Ginsburg said that in one of her favorite scenes, Justice Scalia is "locked up in a dark room for excessive dissenting," only to be startled by Justice Ginsburg, who crashes through a "glass ceiling" to rescue him.
The sold-out audience gave Justice Ginsburg a standing ovation.
Speaking backstage after her presentation, Justice Ginsburg demonstrated her command of another theatrical trope—suspense.
Will Monday's Supreme Court sitting be akin to comic opera, or tragedy?
"You'll find out tomorrow," she said with a grin.

Obviously money is a factor. It's a factor in a lot of things in my life and in most people's lives. Really the only way I would be able to become a doctoral student is if I had some financial backing. And so my enrollment advisor also helped me get in touch with the financial aid department and get the money that I needed.
Walden university financial aid counselors will assist you as you apply and once you are enrolled at Walden. They will help you locate and obtain financial resources and support. Several financial aid options are available to help fund your Walden education, including federal financial aid, scholarships, fellowships, payment plans, employer tuition reimbursement, and low-interest loans.
Ernestine Whiting
(National Director, Financial Aid)
Money should never be an obstacle. We start at the very beginning, helping students fill out the free application for federal student financial aid called the FAFSA. We also try to help students find other sources of financial aid that are not offered by the university. We also have a list of scholarships that students can avail themselves of if they're eligible.
Kimberly Franklin

Financial problems can affect your lifestyle. You have a home mortgage to pay; you have to buy food and clothing for your children. And just being able to know that I do have financial assistance available is very helpful.
