Oakley Radar Pitch Sunglasses
I love these sunglasses. The larger lens gives me good coverage against wind while biking. They stay on my face well, even while the sweat shower comes from my helmet and having no bottom frame sweat drips right off of them. I love that the temples are contoured to go over helmet straps, yet the feature is so subtle that non cyclists will never notice it- pure genius. Every other pair of sunglasses I have had, were a battle between under or over the straps, because neither ever worked well. I may try other lens tints, but the grey is a good all around tint.
The best sunglasses i ever had. Very protective to your eyes. Sunbeams,reflective sun,insects,dew and wind doesnt stand a chance. An important thing; they never slide down to the tip of your nose:) Once on, forget about continual adjustment. Oakley stay put.

These sunglasses offer great coverage and are very comfortable. I wear them for biking, kayaking, golf and some much more. They are pretty big so if you have a small face definitely try them on somewhere first before you buy them. Also, the lenses really do everything they say they do with beading off water, and repel dust and smudges.
Have you tried their lens cleaner called "Nano-Clear Hydrophobic Pen/Lens Cleaner" by Oakley? It really helps with the water repellency of the lens, and since it's made by Oakley, it's totally safe.
It's available directly from Oakley.

Great glasses
Through some bad luck, I had to replace my sunglasses the week before my first half ironman triathlon. I'd heard great things about these, but couldn't find them locally before I had to leave for the race. I had this site send them to where I was staying and they arrived the afternoon before the race. The glasses fit great (I have a large melon), and don't shift or slip. Optics are great (they are Oakleys after all), with no distortion. They were fantastic for cycling, and I was in a lot of pain during the run so I didn't notice them then, which I think is a good thing. And they say nothing new on race day...

I've had these oakleys before, but they got lost, and now i want another pair. do u all think they'll work well for outdoor volleyball?
You may want a darker lens since I feel like you look towards the sky quite a bit playing volleyball. The style though, should work fine. If you liked the ones you had before, I'm sure you will like the again.
Try the Black Iridium POLORIZED lens for really sunny days. But for overcast days, maybe the Grey Iridium, or even transistions* lens may work better. You can, of course, order a frame with multiple lens so you'll be "covered" not matter what!
If you go on the Oakley site, they have a really 'cool-tool' that lets you see a simulated view a variety of their lens (tons of choices!), in a variety of outdoor settings (golf, bright light, overcast, trail, etc.). It's "ingenious"! You can check it out there, and still purchase here!
Hope this helps!

As I am a recreational fisherman I was wondering if these would be suitable. Also what is the best colour? any info would be helpful
They would work, but the best bet is to go for a polarized lens for fishing. The polarization will cut the glare on the water's surface so you can see into the water and see the fish. Oakley has many polarized lens options available in many different styles.

Sure. Recommended use is sports so you should be good to go.

Any government action runs the risk of infringing on personal freedom. It's a conundrum that our elected officials must face with every proposed law that is intended to keep the population safe and a balance that is struck every day.
Although I know I run the risk of alienating many of the people who read this column with what I'm about to say, I feel like it needs to be said, so here goes: I steadfastly support the state and federal government passing laws that regulate what people can do when driving a car.
I've always felt this way. In the mid-1980s, I applauded when New York State passed a law requiring that drivers and front-seat passengers buckle their seat belts while the vehicle was in motion.
When cars first came along, it didn't seem necessary. But as cars got faster and roads better, we didn't cling to the idea that we shouldn't have to wear seat belts because we never had to wear them before. We understood that the people who passed laws when the car first came out couldn't have known how different it would be in 50 or 100 years. So as the car and society evolved, the law did, too.
Yet some people objected to being told what to do in a country where we had always been free to make our own decision about seat belts. But after a while, buckling up became second nature. And it did save lives.
That's how it seems to go with cars. The government is always imposing new regulations and passing laws in the name of a greater good.
It happens all the time when something useful in some circumstances becomes dangerous in the hands of unstable people. Of course, I'm talking about smartphones. Most of us understand that it's dangerous to send a text message or update our Facebook status while we're driving, but enough people were doing it and hurting themselves or others that legislators banned the practice. That made sense. Now that we've criminalized texting while driving, only the criminally stupid text while driving.
But it's not just laws; it's also smaller steps. For example, a few blocks from the street where I grew up, railroad tracks crossed a street, so there was always a rail crossing gate there. People tended to slow down when they approached the warning sign and rail crossing, which was a good thing, because the road dipped right past the tracks. But when the trains stopped using the tracks and the warning sign and the gates were removed, people would just fly off that hill.
So a stop sign was installed at the intersection. Some people were upset. They didn't drive like maniacs, and they resented having their travel restricted in the name of protecting people from a minuscule percentage of the population who did. Why couldn't the police just arrest the lawbreakers? Why wasn't society doing something to address causes of bad driving such as "Smokey and the Bandit" movies and video games that glorify midair speeding?
But that sign has been there now for years, and I find myself wondering why anyone would have complained.
I know what people say: Government is overstepping its bounds. We should be able to make our own decisions when it comes to our cars. Cars don't kill people; bad drivers in cars kill people.
But the car has something to do with it, too, doesn't it?

For most of us, the music of the prolific Buffalo-born composer Harold Arlen seems to float into our minds without us even recognizing it.
That was the way it happened for Marcus Goldhaber, the Buffalo-born singer and songwriter starring in the new off-Broadway musical "The Wonderful Wizard of Song: The Music of Harold Arlen." The show opens Thursday in St. Luke's Theatre in New York City after a month of previews.
Some of Goldhaber's earliest memories include his mother or grandfather playing after-dinner renditions of Arlen's "Let's Fall in Love," "It's Only a Paper Moon" and "Stormy Weather" on the family piano. But unlike casual fans who can happily hum the melody to "Over the Rainbow" without the foggiest idea of its composer, Goldhaber learned early on who wrote those comforting, postprandial tunes. And they left an indelible impression.
Eventually, after graduating from Fredonia State College with a degree in musical theater, he folded the legendary composer's eclectic songwriting style into his own.
"It was inspiring, especially when I started writing songs myself, to study his writing style and [see] how it was always a little bit to the left or a little bit to the right of what everyone else was doing. He wrote very standard-form tunes like 'Let's Fall in Love' and 'Paper Moon,' but he also wrote songs like 'Ill Wind' and 'Last Night When We Were Young,' that [have] more odd chromatic intervals," he said in a phone interview from New York City. "I really felt like, if Harold Arlen can do this, I joked with someone, why, oh why, can't I?"
Though he is not a household name, Arlen is responsible for many of the tunes Americans seem to know innately. There's "Over the Rainbow" and the rest of the exuberant tunes from Arlen's collaboration with lyricist Yip Harburg on "The Wizard of Oz." There are standards like "Come Rain or Come Shine," "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)" and dozens of other instantly recognizable melodies. And then there are the beautifully off-center pieces like "Stormy Weather" and "That Old Black Magic," which distinguished Arlen from his pals and frequent collaborators like the Gershwins, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin.
"The Wonderful Wizard of Song," a biographical take on Arlen's life and songwriting career, was co-created by the composer's son Sam Arlen and producer George Bugatti, who also performs in the show. It had a long period of development on the West Coast, where it was frequently performed with a 17-piece orchestra playing new arrangements of Arlen's songs. The off-Broadway version has been reconceived with a smaller cast, headed by a fictional trio known as the Three Crooners – Goldhaber, Bugatti and Joe Shepherd.
"It's scaled down for a jazz trio and so it's very intimate and swingin'," Goldhaber said. "It's that type of real intimate thing where there's no fourth wall, you're with the audience the whole time."
Like the 2007 MusicalFare Theater production "A Rainbow Journey: The Harold Arlen Story," the show intersperses key moments from Arlen's life – such as meetings with singers Pearl Bailey and Ethel Waters and collaborators like Johnny Mercer – with performances of many popular and some little-known tunes. It also includes rare archival material, including film shot by Arlen himself during the filming of "The Wizard of Oz," along with projections of family pictures and other ephemera provided by Sam Arlen. (Arlen was born in 1905 and died in 1986.)
"By the end of it, I think you really get to know who Harold was. Buffalo is a highlight of course," Goldhaber said, adding that he's been receiving notes from Buffalonians about Arlen and his legacy.
"Someone emailed me a picture because their grandfather played with Harold Arlen in the Southbound Shufflers, which was his first band that he formed in Buffalo before he created the Buffalodians. It's a real nice trip down memory lane and history lane."
After the show completes its run in New York, Goldhaber said, the plan is to take it on the road – hopefully with a stop in Buffalo. And that, he suggested, may help to reacquaint audiences with a composer whose work they already know and love.
"Arlen was hanging out with the Gershwins – and if you look around, they all admired him, they all looked to him and said, 'That's a sophisticated writer,' " Goldhaber said. "Maybe it's only a matter of time before we can get him the recognition he deserves."

Jerry Davis will be on the sidelines for one final home game Saturday, but his chances of seeing the playing field are miniscule at best. He'll be one of the guys wearing a red baseball cap, signaling in the plays for the offense, playing an important but peripheral role in whatever transpires.
Davis' story holds disappointments and discouragements but also speaks to resolve and resilience, maturity and acceptance, and a willingness to move forward. By all accounts he's been the consummate teammate since his fall from starting quarterback to No. 4, at best, on the depth chart. He came to the University at Buffalo from Fresno, Calif., to play football but also to obtain a degree and position himself for life after college.
And when the football didn't come off the way he envisioned, he remained loyal to the program and maintained his focus in the classroom. In May, he'll graduate with a degree in Sociology.
As a redshirt sophomore, Davis was named the first starting quarterback of the Jeff Quinn era, and it didn't go well. Instead of producing crisp, breathtaking marches downfield, the offense boiled with chaos. The line couldn't handle the high-octane demands. The running game was non-existent. Davis struggled along with everybody else.
He started the first six games before being replaced by Alex Zordich, then started the final two games after Zordich was injured. His final stats – a 47.7 completion percentage and 16 interceptions against 16 touchdown throws – oozed ineffectiveness.
"It was very, very hard, but I'm the type of guy that I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me," Davis said this week. "It's never about me or one person when you're in that position. I was a young guy at the time, kind of was thrown into the position, but I was ready to play and learning and getting better every day."
The next season Chazz Anderson transferred in from Cincinnati as a fifth-year senior and became the starter. This year the role was reduced to a battle between Zordich and Joe Licata. Davis' time had come and gone.
"From that time on I just knew it was never about me," Davis said. "I get that. It's about the team and it's about just always having a positive attitude no matter what and being a good teammate and a good guy to show my teammates and coaches that it's about team, it's about Buffalo, and it's never about me."
Quinn called Davis into his office last week to talk.
The two had hit it off right from the get-go when Quinn took over in 2010, as incumbent quarterback Zach Maynard transferred to Cal and the quarterback position became wide open.
"I remember when he first came in here and we met, we definitely clicked," Davis said. "I loved him. I still love him. A really, really good dude, you know. Very good dude. But, yeah, we talked and laughed about memories we had, 2010 year. He told me that he really respects the way I handled the situation."
"I called him in the office the other day because I wanted him to hear it from me personally that I appreciate what he's done for this football team and this program," Quinn said. "... Look, he doesn't like it, and I didn't anticipate him to like it. I wouldn't either. But there's 105 guys in that room, and it does take a lot of maturity and respect.
"And there's another piece to this obligation and that's academics," Quinn said. "He picked UB because of the right reasons, and now he's got a chance to contribute in other ways that maybe people don't recognize, but I do, and that's why I had him in my office."
One can imagine how difficult it has been, but Davis never became a divisive force, never groused, although there's a case to be made that his career was derailed as much by circumstance as his own play in that one topsy-turvy season.
"Jerry Davis is a great teammate," said senior linebacker Willie Moseley. "He's always on the sideline with positive energy, he's always in the huddle with positive energy. We came in together of course. He's not playing as much as he would like to, but he's helping in other ways, so he's still a great asset to the team, and we love him regardless."
"I respect Jerry Davis for the role he has embraced in tremendous fashion," said another senior, Steven Means. "He's done everything he's been asked to do. What more can you ask for in a teammate? We love him."
The final home game for this year's seniors comes at 3:30 Saturday, when Western Michigan visits UB Stadium. The season ends with two more games on the road, and then, like other college seniors, it's time to get on with life.
"To receive that degree, that means the most to me and my family as well," Davis said. "That's the number one thing on my mind right now is to complete what I came out here and started to do and set myself up for a good future.
"I can't wait. It's been a long ride, a long journey for me, and I have a lot of memories here. It's time to be a man, finish strong and get my degree and prepare myself for corporate America, the next level, whatever opportunities I have and get ready to start a new chapter in my life. I don't regret anything."

Remember when Billy Fuccillo and Cellino and Barnes ruled local television ads?
Today, it's Kathleen C. Hochul and Chris Collins.
And the results aren't always so nice.
"It's like two prize fighters in the ring just fighting each other," said Bill Collins, partner at the advertising agency Travers Collins.
There's the cackle over the "trick-or-treat" ad targeting Hochul and the disdain for the ad criticizing Collins' big house – brought to you by political operatives outside the campaigns hoping to gain an edge in the U.S. House of Representatives next year.
Spending on political advertising in Buffalo and Rochester for the 27th Congressional District has reached $4.99 million, according to a Buffalo News analysis of television ad buys. More than half of that was spent by independent groups based outside of Western New York.
With that extra money has come extra negativity.
The Sunlight Foundation found that more than three-quarters of the ads funded by super political action committees across the country have been negative.
"What you end up with is a much more negative race," said Bill Allison, editorial director at the Sunlight Foundation, which tracks outside spending in races across the country. "And sometimes, voters are turned off by that kind of consistent negative messaging."
In the competitive 27th District, spending on all campaign activities by the candidates, political parties and outside groups makes it the 10th most expensive House race in the country, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign spending. That has meant a barrage of ads in the Buffalo and Rochester television markets, many of which air during local news. The number of ads in the race has increased in the final weeks of the campaign as the candidates and the outside groups that support them try to sway the remaining swing voters.
Don't expect them to stop until the polls close. Those buying political ads, public records show, have spread their dollars into the final few days, including more expensive ads in prime slots such as college football and "Dancing With the Stars," as the race heads into Election Day on Tuesday.
But are viewers still tuning in?
"I think the attack ads are terrible," said Ken Heer, 62, of Clarence. "I'd much rather have the candidates speak about what they're going to do."
Heer, who said the commercials give him the feeling the "process is broken," isn't alone. Negative ads that repeat over and over have prompted groans from viewers across Western New York.
"They don't convey the real agenda for these candidates," said Dan Massing, 72, of Williamsville.
The ads have had varying degrees of truth, and they include issues of local concern as well as attack lines adopted from the presidential campaign.
A claim contained in ads sponsored by Hochul and groups that support her – that Collins fired 115 employees when he purchased Buffalo China – was deemed false by The Buffalo News and other media in the district.
Another claim – aired in a Collins ad – states that the Affordable Care Act will result in a "trillion-dollar middle-class tax increase," which The News also deemed false.
Fact-checking by local and national-level reporters usually doesn't stop campaigns from making the same inaccurate claims over and over.
There's a reason candidates turn to attack ads, said Steven Greenberg, a pollster for Siena Research Institute.
"Voters complain all the time about negative ads and negative campaigning," Greenberg said. "It works. That's why the Democrats do it. That's why the Republicans do it."
Swing voters, Greenberg said, do respond to negative ads.
Determining who, exactly, is paying for many of the ads has become more difficult since a Supreme Court ruling lifted restrictions on what outside organizations such as corporations and unions can spend in elections.
Donations made in the final weeks of the campaign to super PACs won't have to be disclosed in many cases until early December. Other groups have no requirement to reveal their donors.
"For voters, it's much harder to follow the source of the message," Allison said. "And a lot of these outside groups are backed by folks who have agendas in Washington that may not have very much to do with the ads that they're running."
The dynamics of the 27th District race, meanwhile, have made it ripe for spending from outside organizations.
"I think that what they're really looking for are places where you can flip a seat one way or another," Allison said. "They're looking for polls being close, a district where you can possibly move things with some advertising, because the name of the game is controlling the House or controlling the Senate."
Hochul, a Democrat who won her first term in a special election last year, is running in a district that is more Republican than the seat she won in 2011, and three groups focused on retaining the Republican edge in the U.S. House have flooded money into television air time in the race to help Collins, a Republican and former Erie County executive.
He has benefited from twice as much outside spending on television ads that either attack Hochul's record or support Collins.
The Congressional Leadership Fund, the American Action Network and the National Republican Congressional Committee have spent the bulk of the $1.84 million in outside funds that have helped Collins, with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce also paying for ads attacking Hochul's record in the final weeks of October.
Outside spending for Hochul, which has totaled $918,570, has come largely from two groups aimed at winning a Democratic House majority, the House Majority PAC and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, with help coming from two public-sector unions, the Service Employees International Union and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, in late October.
Hochul, who has raised more in political donations than Collins has, has spent more on television ad time.
The result is that spending on television ads in the 27th District has split almost evenly between ads intended to benefit Hochul and those aimed at helping Collins, with $2.56 million spent on ads for Collins, compared with $2.43 million on ads for Hochul.
That has left TV viewers – whether they live in the district or not – at times watching back-to-back campaign commercials featuring Hochul or Collins.
At some point, said Bill Collins, those will blend in.
"When you watch TV, there is so much noise, and the political advertising is noise, almost white noise," said Collins, who is not related to Chris Collins. "It's like watching cars go by."
And while viewers may be looking forward to Wednesday, another barrage of ads is on the way. "If you're sick of political advertising, brace yourself," Bill Collins said. "The Christmas advertising will start up right after."
Where funds went in the 27th District
Here's a look at how money spent on television ads in the 27th Congressional District race between Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul and Chris Collins has broken down:
Total spent to help Collins: $2,564,659
Total spent to help Hochul: $2,432,588
Ads that favor Collins: $1,357,981
Ads that favor Hochul: $1,124,598
Ads that favor Collins: $1,206,678
Ads that favor Hochul: $1,307,990
Where the money has come from:
Ads paid for or coordinated with the campaign: $716,719
Ads funded by outside groups: $1,847,940
Ads paid for or coordinated with the campaign: $1,514,018
Ads funded by outside groups: $918,570

George H.W. Bush Marks 90th Birthday With a Skydive
Today is George H.W. Bush's 90th birthday and he celebrated by skydiving.
While not your typical 90-year-old birthday activity, skydiving is not a new activity for the former president. The first time he jumped from an airplane was in World War II when his plane was shot down over the Pacific. He's made it a tradition, marking his 75th, 80th and 85th birthdays with a jump — all with safe landings.
He announced the jump on Twitter.
It's a wonderful day in Maine — in fact, nice enough for a parachute jump.
— George Bush (@GeorgeHWBush) June 12, 2014
And his son, former president George W. Bush, posted a video.
The jump was two years coming. In an interview with his granddaughter and Today Show correspondent Jenna Bush Hager, George H.W. Bush said "I've got one more left in me," and promised to jump on June 12, 2014.
Today, the weather and elements cooperated and he kept his word. The former president was picked up in a helicopter at Kennebunkport, Maine, where he is celebrating his birthday with his family.

The 41st president of the U.S. has become known for living life to its fullest. He's also developed a reputation for sporting colorful socks. The George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station, Texas is inviting visitors to wear their craziest pair of socks today in honor of the former president.
No word on the socks George H. W. Bush chose for the skydive, but spokesman Jim McGrath tweeted a picture of the snazzy jumpsuit Mr. Bush planned to wear.
Here is the jumpsuit @GeorgeHWBush will use for today's skydive. #41@90 pic.twitter.com/FcT8D416n2
— Jim McGrath (@jgm41) June 12, 2014
Mr. McGrath told the Associated Press that Bush likes the adrenaline rush.
"It's vintage George Bush," he said. "It's that passion for life. It's wanting to set a goal, wanting to achieve it. I'm sure part of it is sending a message to others that even in your retirement years you can still find challenges."
Several politicians and Mr. Bush's own son, Jeb Bush, wished the former president happy birthday on Twitter:
Happy 90th birthday to #41, President @GeorgeHWBush. Hope you found the right pair of socks to wear on your skydive! pic.twitter.com/N2kJJUGqqR

Though Bullock had costar George Clooney often at her side, "I would feel sorry for her all the time," director Alfonso Cuarón told the Associated Press about his leading lady.
Lightening that burden, Bullock said, was the warm atmosphere Cuaró provided on the set, which was further enhanced by having her 3½-year-old son, Louis, with her.
" 'It has to be a great time for my son. I can't miss him. If I miss him, I will be of no use to you,' " Bullock recalled telling Cuarón and the movie's producers before she accepted the role.
" 'You know, he's just learning how to walk. So guess what's going to happen? I have to go! He's taking steps!' "
Everyone cooperated in that department, she says. "They made it so. It was a family film. Everyone had kids. So everyone knew the value of that. So they said, 'If we make it amazing for him right where you are, will you be okay?' And I said, 'Yeah.' "
For the actual shooting of the production, Bullock, 49, was all by herself in front of the camera on a London soundstage, attached to newly devised rigs that simulated constant free fall in space and weightlessness. (Cuarón, whose direction is drawing critical raves, not only cowrote the screenplay with his son Jonas, but he spent four years developing the film using new technology for the visual effects, reports AP.)
"You're frustrated because you can't accomplish something," Bullock, who plays NASA medical engineer Ryan Stone, said of defying gravity, as well as meeting the physical demand of positioning her body to match precise lighting and camera cues – a sensation she likens to therapy.
"There's no control," said the Oscar winner. "I was always out of my element. I learned so much on a daily basis. And I just went, Wow, isn't that funny how being miserable every day physically and then emotionally because of work then turns – makes you open to whatever is coming your way."

I recently received this bag as a gift after completing my Ph.D. It is truly gorgeous. The leather is rich and supple, and it is clear that it is going to wear well. When I began using it, I was also pleased to find that it accommodates 13" MacBook Pro even when it is in a protective sleeve. In all of these ways I am pleased with the bag and incredibly grateful to have received such a generous gift.And yet I still have a few complaints. My major complaint, which others have also expressed, is that the strap is simply too short. I'm about 6'4" and the strap works okay if I wear it on one shoulder, but when I try to wear it across my body the bag rides in the middle of my rib cage. (Since this is the way that a messenger bag is typically worn, I wonder if the bag's name isn't a misnomer.) I had derived a bit of hope the response that a customer service agent had given to an earlier comment complaining about the length of the strap, which suggested that there may be a remedy. Unfortunately, when I called customer service, they told me that my only choices were to keep the bag with the shortened strap or to return it. Neither seems like a satisfactory resolution to me.Ultimately, I think that this is a very, very good bag. But until it is more suited for tall users, I for one won't be able to declare it great.

Not the bag shown on website
Bag is not the color advertised. As another reviewer mentions, the leather is much darker than pictured, and has a matte effect rather than glossy. Very disappointed, will be returning immediately.

Great Business Brief
By Andy in Education
from High Point, NC
Comments about Levenger Tusting Messenger Bag:
I just received my Tusting Messenger two weeks ago and love it! It is the third Tusting piece that I have purchased and am pleased with all of them. This brief is the perfect size to carry a few files and a laptop computer. It has adequate additional pockets for business cards, magazines. etc. The look is classic professional and the quality so far has been great. These Tusting pieces are more brown in person than the reddish tone that the photos show under the lights but I like the look.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Liked it until it stained me clothes
By Bob
from GA
Looks good and feels good on the shoulder, but it has stained my clothing brown. A ridiculous problem, one that would have prevented me from buying this for myself had I read the rather silly disclaimer on the website (it was a gift). Why would anyone knowingly manfacture and sell a briefcase that damages clothing?
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Perfect Briefcase
By TravelingTeacher
from Rochester, NY
The perfect briefcase-- leather and workmanship is of the very highest quality, and the design is just right for everyday use-- slim and light enough to be easy to carry, but able to hold quite a bit when necessary (including a standard-sized laptop). Enough compartments to keep things organized, but not so many as to get in the way.Very, very pleased.

Outstanding bag
By JimMcBoulder
from Louisville, CO
I spent quite a bit of time looking for a bag that looked professional, but also would fit in a business/casual setting. I wanted a bag that would improve its look and function as it aged.I could not be happier with my Tusting Messenger Brief. It is large enough to hold my folio and some files with room to spare. The inside back pocket is large enough to hold my Mac Book Pro (15") when necessary. When I exchange my MacBook for an iPad I have plenty of room to spare.I am 5'8" and have not had any issues with the length of the shoulder strap. In addition, the few accidental scratches on the bag have rubbed out easily with my fingertips; I have not had any of the leather stain transfer onto my clothes.It's a great bag and it something that I hope I can pass to my son one day.

Short lifespan
By ldr4
Loved it when I first got it but then the lining started to tear and the buttons that hold the flap down fell off almost every time I opened the briefcase. Eventually they were lost. Looks great but doesn't hold up. I tried to upload photos of the problems but was unable to upload them to this review.

Lovely Bag
By Bookseller
from Dallas, TX
This bag is beautiful. It is exactly what I was expecting. I gave this bag to my husband for Christmas and he loves it. The only thing I was disappointed by, was the box in which it arrived. A beautiful thing like this deserves to be packed in a box more suitable for gift wrapping and presentation.
A terrific Xmas gift
By josdh
from New Castle, DE
My wife purchased this bag for me for Christmas. So far I love it. It is very handsome, lightweight, and yet surprisingly room inside. Lots of sleeves and pockets to put things in. I teach at a university and this bag makes me feel very professorial.

Combination Provides 43% Improvement in Time to Disease Progression
North Hollywood, CA, May 21, 2007 - The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF)—supporting research and providing education, advocacy and support for myeloma patients, families, researchers and physicians—today said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new treatment option for myeloma patients who have relapsed or who have not responded to at least one other course of treatments. The combination of DOXIL® with VELCADE® provides nearly a three month improvement in time to disease progression as compared to VELCADE alone, which is a 43% improvement in response according to a phase III multi-national clinical trial.
"This is an important new combination for patients, especially those with resistant myeloma, because of the VELCADE/DOXIL synergy – VELCADE increases the sensitivity of cancer cells to DOXIL and DOXIL does the same for VELCADE," said Brian G.M. Durie, M.D., chairman and co-founder of the IMF. "The growing success treating myeloma and extending patients' lives is due in large part to new drugs that can be used in combination and in sequence, and the approval of the new VELCADE/DOXIL combination fits perfectly into that strategy."
DOXIL is a specially (liposomal) formulated version of the chemotherapy agent doxorubicin, and is approved for use in other forms of cancer. VELCADE, bortezomib, is approved for myeloma patients who have relapsed or not responded to a previous course of treatment. VELCADE/DOXIL may be used with or without steroids providing patients with a steroid-free alternative.
Myeloma, also called multiple myeloma, is a cancer of the bone marrow that affects production of red cells, white cells and stem cells. It affects an estimated 750,000 people worldwide, and in industrialized countries it is being diagnosed in growing numbers and in increasingly younger people.
ABOUT The International Myeloma Foundation
The International Myeloma Foundation is the oldest and largest myeloma organization, reaching more than 135,000 members in 113 countries worldwide. A 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients and their families, the IMF focuses on four key areas: research, education, support and advocacy. To date, the IMF has conducted more than 100 educational seminars worldwide, maintains a world-renowned hotline, and operates Bank on a Cure®, a unique gene bank to advance myeloma research. The IMF can be reached at 818-487-7455. The global Website is www.myeloma.org with a companion Website in Spanish at www.myelomala.org.

MARTINSBURG - Sequestration could mean cuts in maintenance, seasonal hiring, programs and special events at National Parks, including Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, C&O Canal National Historical Park and Antietam National Battlefield.
"At the C&O Canal, there might be less toilet pumping," Jennifer Mummart, the NPS acting associate National Capital Region director of communication, said in a telephone interview Friday. "It could mean the visitor center at Antietam could be closed a couple days a week or reduced mowing and trash pickup at parks."
Similar cuts could be made at Harpers Ferry, she said.
Article Photos
Journal file photo
People walk along the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Harpers Ferry National Historial Park last spring.
"Visitors should prepare for reduced hours and services," Mummart said.
Sequestration is the term used for automatic spending cuts triggered by the federal Budget Control Act of 2011. Across-the-board budget cuts to all federal departments are supposed to take effect March 1.
Mummart said the National Park Service is looking at a 5 percent overall cut in funding. Budget cuts to individual parks will be taken on a park-by-park basis, she said.
"We're in the planning process," Mummart said. "We're hopeful we can avoid the cuts. Nothing is final, but we are planning accordingly."
A memorandum dated Jan. 25 from Jonathan B. Jarvis, NPS director, to regional directors, associate and assistant directors and the U.S. Park Police instructed them to develop a sequestration plan.
"Our main focus is to protect park resources and ensure the safety of people and it's possible we would have to close certain areas and cancel activities to protect resources and ensure safety," Mummart said. "The trends in planning (are) to not fill seasonal jobs and a reduction in maintenance."
This year is the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania, which often is cited as the turning point in the Civil War. Budget cuts could affect observances of the historic battle at Gettysburg National Military Park.
According to an Associated Press report, the park would lose 6,872 volunteer hours because of the lapse of seasonal volunteer coordinators; would reduce the removal of exotic species; and would eliminate 20 percent of student education programs if the cuts go through.
The New River Gorge National River in Fayette County, W.Va., would have to defer maintenance on buildings, roads and trails, AP reports.
The Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and North Carolina would have to cut 21 seasonal interpretive rangers and close half of the park's visitor contact stations, according to AP.
NPS operates 398 national parks, in every state of the union except Delaware.

Over the past two decades, governing institutions in Mexico and parts of Central America have proven too primitive to cope with the volatility of democratic transitions. Organized crime has taken over key activities of various levels of government and corruption has become more entrenched. These regions must face the challenge of building democratic institutions capable of engaging in good governance.
The U.S. government has increased its attention to public security issues in Mexico and Central America since 2007. This report suggest the policy emphasis has begun to shift away from the earlier focus on combating drug trafficking and transnational crime toward addressing the citizen security crisis.
This report examines trends in manufacturing – with a focus on advanced manufacturing – in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and the United States. Although these countries' manufacturing histories and contexts are different, the sectors are increasingly interdependent, and the sector potentially holds great promise for improving individual livelihoods and overall regional competitiveness.
Crime and insecurity are undermining economic and social prosperity in Mexico and Central America, eroding public trust in government institutions. This report examines current economic, social, and political costs resulting from insecurity, and future implications.
The growth of organized crime in Mexico and Central America has dramatically increased the risks that migrants crossing the region face. As this report outlines, migrants increasingly are forced to seek the assistance of intermediaries, and those unable to afford one are more likely to be abused along the way.
This report outline the long-standing pattern of northern Central American governments' inattention to their borders – probing root causes that range from institutional, economic, and resource challenges to corruption and weak government structures.
This report draws on a six-year longitudinal study of Palm Beach County, FL, examining parenting, child care enrollment, and other factors that encourage early school success. The authors find kindergarten-age children of Black immigrants have significantly higher odds of being ready for school than children of Latina immigrant or Black U.S.-born mothers.
This report outlines the long-standing pattern of government inattention to borders in Central America's Northern Triangle – probing root causes that range from institutional, economic, and resource challenges to corruption and weak government structures.
Using a nationally representative U.S. birth-cohort study, this report examines levels of school readiness among young children by race/ethnicity and nativity. The authors identify the contextual factors — such as family circumstances, parenting practices, and enrollment in center-based child care — that encourage early school success.

Fighting Words
Not only do I spent a lot of time reading books, but I spend a lot of time reading about books. I recently ran across Flavorwire's article 'The 30 Harshest Author-on-Author Insults In History' and I have to admit that I laughed out loud. Collected here are real quotes from authors about authors - disparaging in a cruel but also often funny way.
My favorite? Truman Capote on Jack Kerouac - "That's not writing, that's typing." Ha!

Bettsville is prepared for an Independence Day celebration Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Howard P. Eells Park.
Campers may enter the park at 5 p.m. Friday. All improved campsites with electricity have been reserved, but 10 primitive sites still are available. A dozen vendors are to be set up with various items. Musical entertainment with patriotic songs is to be played during the fireworks display at 10 p.m. Saturday.
A new service provided this year will be a tent supplying basic first aid and a center for missing children.
Park Manager Linda Davis reported 92 memberships to the park have been sold. She added during a phone conversation that admission to the park Saturday is $5. Costs for swimming are $2 for 6-12 year olds, $3 for 13-59 year olds and all others may swim for free. Those without a membership will be asked to leave the beach area at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, with membership holders allowed on the beach during the fireworks.
Police Chief Don Mason said several officers will be present at the park for the weekend festivities. He also said the department needs to replace officers.
Mason said Sgt. Melissa Broshious had completed her handgun instructor training and is now certified to train other officers. Broshious said due to increased burglaries in the area, the police department is taking a look at forming a neighborhood watch. She noted that the block watch programs take the eyes and ears of all community members to be successful. A public meeting for all village residents will be soon.
Fire Chief Jim Maglosky's report stated he received a $1,500 EMS grant that must be used by June 30, 2013. The department has finished its water rescue training and he questioned whether council members needed to complete NIMS training.
Maglosky also reminded residents open or barrel burning is prohibited in the village. A recreational fire must be contained in a 3-foot by 3-foot area using only seasoned wood.
Resident Don Gamertsfelder questioned how long an income tax collected by RITA would continue in the village.
Village Administrator Jon Dabrunz reported concrete work at the sewer plant.
The meeting went into executive session for discussion of personnel.
In other business, council:
Approved the financial report.
Approved the 2013 budget.
Heard Joyce Harrison report 8 notices for clean-up had been dispersed with some positive results.
Heard resident Virginia Vogel state several trees near her home need removed.
Approved the magistrate court report.
Council meets next at 6:30 p.m. August 7.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - They say defense wins championships.
First-year Incline boys basketball coach Tim Kelly has his team believing it.
The visiting Highlanders frustrated Truckee with a scrappy defensive effort that often led to easy offense en route a 61-38 win in both teams' Mount Rose League opener Thursday night.
"We wanted to make sure to defend our tails off and make it hard for them to score," Kelly said. "Our league mentality started January 2. We want complete focus, and we want to be the best team we can be and play as hard as we can possibly play."
The coach had no complaints Thursday.
Led by junior point guard Orin Porter, who finished with a game-high 30 points and 15 rebounds, the Highlanders harassed Truckee ball handlers with aggressive pressure defense that they mixed up on every possession.
If the Wolverines did manage to get the ball past their end of the floor without a forced turnover, they were met with an equally aggressive half-court defense - also changed up throughout the contest - that prevented the hosts from running any kind of offense.
"Usually coach says to push the tempo at first. We want to play our speed and put people away early," Porter said.
That they did, as the Highlanders stretched a 12-6 first-quarter lead to 37-21 by the half.
"We just couldn't make a shot, and when you can't make a shot your confidence goes down," said first-year Truckee head coach Patrick Irvin. "We failed to really run any offense, and when we did get a good look, we couldn't hit."
While every Incline player contributed to the shut-down defensive performance - they had 16 steals in the game - Porter put on a show offensively.
The smooth-flowing guard hit a 3-pointer to open the game and scored the Highlanders' first seven points as they jumped out to a 7-1 lead. Porter went on to score 12 points in the second quarter and had 21 by the half. He also had four steals, along with teammate Drew Bessette, and dished out five assists.
"He's becoming the player and man that he's called to be," Kelly said. "He'll know what that means. It's really exciting watching him become a phenomenal teammate, person and player."
The Highlanders kept their foot on the throttle after the half, holding the Wolverines to only two points in the third quarter. With the game already in hand, Incline outscored Truckee 16-15 in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
"We wanted to dictate how the game was played, and the guys really stepped up and made that happen," Kelly said.
Senior guard Rob Rubsamen scored nine points for the Highlanders, who also ran effective offensive plays throughout the contest when not on a fast break. Sophomore Jack Clouthier scored six points on two 3-pointers, and Tommy Thompson and Jared Skowronski each had five.
"I was impressed with their execution of their offense," Irvin said. "They're a well-coached team. That number 20 is a special player."
Senior point guard Graham Millie led Truckee with 13 points, as he heated up late to score nine in the fourth quarter, while Adam Morgan and David Burnham each scored six.
Incline is now 8-7 overall and Truckee is 6-8.
The Incline girls controlled the first half of their Mount Rose League contest at Truckee on Thursday, leading by as many as 13 points behind the hot shooting hands of Molly Franklin, Kortney Solis and Kerrie Tonking.
But the Wolverines took over the lead with a big third quarter and never looked back as they handed the Highlanders a 48-41 defeat.
"I think part of it is we ran out of gas," said Incline coach Wayne Nash, describing the difference between the first and second halves. "And then we quit running our stuff."
Nash also pointed out that Truckee took 61 shots in the game to Incline's 34.
Yet it was the Highlanders who maintained the momentum through the first two quarters.
With Franklin and Solis each hitting from the perimeter, finding open spots on the fringes of Truckee's zone defense, and Tonking slashing to the bucket for hard-earned points, Incline jumped out to a quick 11-4 lead.
The Highlanders increased their lead to the largest margin of the night, 27-14, in the final minute of the half. They led 27-16 at the break after Jackie Bolton put back an offensive rebound before the buzzer.
Momentum swung in the Wolverines' favor at the start of the third quarter, however.
Senior guard Ashley Harris hit a 3-pointer to open the half as Truckee began causing havoc with a full-court press and man defense, tasking Katey Hamill, Sydnie English and Bolton with stopping Incline's big three.
The Wolverines, who also began hitting their perimeter shots, went on a 13-0 run to take over the lead at 32-30 late in the third quarter. Tonking tied the score at 33-all with a nifty finger roll, but Hamill answered with another outside make, and Truckee never trailed again.
"Obviously we started hitting our outside shots, but our press also worked, and the girls played hard," said Truckee coach Geoff Stephens. "We were kind of going through the motions in the first half. But we can be good when we play hard. I was proud of our second half."
Nash said the loss was tough to take after the strong first half.
"No one is more hurt than coach Nash. I wanted that one," he said.
Incline is 8-8 overall and Truckee is 8-7.
UP NEXT: The Highlanders host Pershing County on Friday, girls at 6 p.m. and boys at 7:30.
