Bedford Police Department investigators are looking into the death of a 9-month-old infant on Sept. 4.
The department received a call on Sept. 2 at 7 p.m. to respond to Bedford Memorial Hospital in reference to the infant. The infant was transported to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital and died two days later.
According to Bedford Police Chief Jim Day the infant's body has been sent to the medical examiner's office in Roanoke for a determination of the cause and manner of death. The case remains under investigation.
Six Bedford Girl Scouts, members of Troop 765, which meets at Bedford Baptist Church, chose the Bedford Pregnancy Center as their Gold Award project.
The Gold Award, according to Susan Hale and Karen Asbury, co-leaders of the Bedford troop, is the Girl Scout version of the Eagle Award. It's not easy.
For Dr. James Blevins, making the decision ? and announcement ? of his retirement as superintendent of Bedford County Schools was emotional.
And though that decision is now public, he also knows his work for the school system isn't yet finished. As Shirley McCabe pointed out at last week's board meeting, there's still a budget yet to do.
"I want to make sure I continue to do what the board wants," he said.
The owner of Scott's Strawberry Farm was injured Thursday afternoon when a tractor he was using rolled over on him at his farm off Joppa Mill Road in Moneta.
Sixty-three-year-old J.D. Scott was airlifted by MedFlight III to Lynchburg General Hospital from the scene in serious condition. As many as 50 emergency personnel from multiple agencies joined in the rescue effort, that took about an hour and a half to free him out from under the tractor.
After 10 years with the Bedford County School System, School Superintendent Dr. James Blevins has announced plans to step down at the end of the school year.
"The Bedford County School Board would like to thank Dr. Blevins for his over 10 yeras of service to the students of Bedford County and we wish him well in his retirement after 38 years in education," School Board Chairman Gary Hostutler said."
A man in his 60s was injured Thursday afternoon when a tractor he was using rolled over on him at Scott's Strawberry Farm in Moneta. The man was airlifted by MedFlight 3 to Lynchburg General Hospital. As many as 50 emergency personnel from multiple agencies joined in the rescue effort, that took about an hour and a half to free the man out from under the tractor. The man was conscious while he was being extricated. He had been pinned by the tractor's steering wheel. Some other workers on the farm heard him yelling for help.
Beginning this week, Centertown Park is officially connected to the Internet.
After a year of planning, a wireless system has been installed in Centertown that will service the park area. In essence, folks can bring their laptops or PDAs to the park and connect to the Internet if they choose.
"I think it will be a useful tool," noted Linda Exley, executive director of Bedford Main Street, Inc. "Putting wi-fi in Centertown is going to help our merchants as well as those visiting."
Although the summer is over, Moneta's new farmer's market has new offerings coming.
According to Mantana Heim, apples from Gross' and Kennedy's Orchards will be available. During peach season, the market featured fresh peaches, harvested the day of the market, provided by Skinnell's, another Bedford County orchard.
The market is open on the second and fourth Saturday's of each month and sets up in a section of the Moneta Library's parking lot, behind the library building. It's open from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Heim currently has 13 vendors selling a variety of products.
Two Roanoke men and one Bedford County man have been arrested and charged in connection with property damage and stealing catalytic converters from two businesses in Bedford County.
On Aug. 29, Bobby E. Taylor, 38, of Roanoke, and Gregory D. Brown, 53, of Roanoke, were arrested just after midnight while allegedly attempting to steal catalytic converters from Sydisco Salvage, located on Quarterwood Road in Montvale. Both men were charged with destroying private property, trespassing and attempting to steal a catalytic converter.

Smiling can reduce the bodies stress response and provide heart health
Feeling good usually makes us smile but can smiling make us feel good? That is what two psychological scientists set out to investigate. In an upcoming study in Psychological Science, psychological scientists Tara Kraft and Dr. Sarah Pressman, PhD, of the University of Kansas investigated the possible benefits of smiling by looking at how different kinds of smiling, and the awareness of smiling, affects a person's ability to recover from episodes of stress.View slideshow: Ways to de-stress
Smiles are generally divided into two categories; standard smiles that use the muscles around the mouth or Duchenne smiles (genuine) which engage the muscles surrounding both the mouth and the eyes. Past research has demonstrated that positive emotions during stress and that smiling can affect emotions. The work of Kraft and Pressman is the first of its kind to experimentally manipulate the type of smiles people make in order to examine the effects of smiling on stress.
The study consisted of 169 participants recruited from a Midwestern university. The study had two phases; training and testing. During the training phase participants had been divided into three groups with each group trained to hold a different facial expression. Participants were told to hold chopsticks in their mouths in a way that engaged facial muscles used to create a neutral facial expression, a standard smile or Duchenne smile. The chopsticks were vital for the task because they forced people to smile without being aware they were smiling. Only half of the group members were instructed to smile.
In the testing phase, participants were asked to work on multitasking activities. Participants were unaware that the activities were designed to be stressful. The first stress inducing activity had participants tracing a star with their non-dominant hand by looking at the stars reflection in a mirror. For the second stress inducing activity participants were required to plunge their hand in ice water.
During both of the stress inducing activities participants had held chopsticks in their mouth as they had been taught in training. Researchers measured participant's heart rates and self-reported stress levels throughout the testing phase.
The study's results suggested that smiling may actually influence our physical state; in comparison to participants who held neutral facial expressions, participants that were told smile and in particular those participants with Duchenne smiles, had lower heart rates after recovery from stressful activities. Those participants who held chopsticks in their mouth in a way that forced them to smile, but were not explicitly told to smile as part of the training had also reported a small decrease in positive effect in comparison to those who held neutral facial expressions.
The findings demonstrate that smiling during brief stressors can help to lower the intensity of the body's stress response, regardless whether a person actually feels happy.
Dr. Pressman states the next time you are stuck in traffic or are experiencing some other type of stress, you might try to hold your face in a smile for a moment. Not only will it help you 'grin and bear it' psychologically, but it might actually help your heart health as well!"

Wisconsin bid for full gay marriage hearing nixed
MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ A federal appeals court has rejected Wisconsin's initial bid to join Indiana in seeking a full-court hearing on the two states' bans on gay marriage.
But the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals said Tuesday that Wisconsin could file its own request.
Dana Brueck, a spokeswoman for the Wisconsin Department of Justice, expects the department would file separately to have all 10 judges on the appeals court hear the case rather than a three-judge panel.
The court combined the Wisconsin and Indiana cases last week to be reviewed together.
The court also gave the attorneys defending Wisconsin's gay marriage ban the opportunity to file an additional brief in the case. That brief will be due Aug. 11.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ Wisconsin attorneys want all 10 judges on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals to consider upholding the state's gay marriage ban.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb declared the ban unconstitutional last month. Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen has appealed to the 7th Circuit.
A federal judge in Indiana has struck down that state's ban as well. That state's attorneys also have asked the 7th Circuit to review the decision. The court consolidated the Wisconsin and Indiana cases on Friday and put them on the fast track.
Usually the 7th Circuit uses three-judge panels to decide cases. But Indiana attorneys filed a request late Friday asking all 10 judges to hear their appeal. Wisconsin attorneys joined that request Monday, saying the cases are exceptionally important.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ Wisconsin has appealed a federal judge's ruling from last month striking down the state's ban on same-sex marriages as unconstitutional.
Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen filed the appeal on Thursday as he indicated at the time of the original ruling he would. U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb ruled on June 6 that the ban, approved by voters in 2006, was a violation of gay couples' equal protection and due process rights.
For one week more than 500 same-sex couples got married in the state before Crabb put her ruling on hold pending the expected appeal.
The appeal will be heard by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago.
The lawsuit was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of eight same-sex couples.

12. Steve Ishmael, WR, North Miami Beach -- At 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, Ishmael was one of the most productive receivers in South Florida in 2012. He is a great route-runner who catches everything thrown his direction. With plus size and athleticism, Ishmael is only getting better. Miami has offered him, and he visited here this past week. The Canes are in good shape at this stage of the game.
13. Corey Holmes, WR St. Thomas Aquinas -- At 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, Holmes probably has the best leaping ability of any receiver in this year's class. He can flat out climb the ladder and go get it. He is very well coached at St. Thomas and knows how to run routes and get open. The ideal size and top notch athleticism make him a very good wide receiver prospect. Miami offered him early in the process but he's focused on out-of-state schools and seems to be on the verge of committing to Notre Dame.
14. JoJo Robinson, WR, Miami Northwestern -- At 6-feet and 175 pounds, Robinson was one of the most productive receivers in Miami last year. With excellent speed and downfield playmaking skills, Robinson could play in the slot or on the outside in college. He also has very good cover skills on defense. He made an early commitment to Florida State but the Hurricanes have offered and are still very much in the game here.
15. Travonte Valentine, DT, Champagnat Catholic -- At 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, Valentine dominated the competition while at Bayside High in Palm Bay last season. He is very strong and brings a lot of athleticism to the table, especially for someone his size. He is very tough to handle inside and flashes the ability to make a lot of plays in opposing backfields. Miami was his first offer during his junior season but he committed to Florida a couple months later. He's since backed off that decision and has been to Miami a few times since then. The Canes have a lot of competition here but seem to be in solid shape as of now.

The Republican River is a river in the central Great Plains of North America, rising in the High Plains of eastern Colorado and flowing east 453 miles (729 km)[3] through the U.S. states of Nebraska and Kansas.
The Republican River is formed by the confluence of the North Fork Republican River and the Arikaree River just north of Haigler in Dundy County, Nebraska. It joins with the South Fork Republican River immediately southeast of Benkelman, Nebraska. All three tributaries originate in the High Plains of northeastern Colorado.[4][5][6] From the confluence, the river flows generally eastward along the southern border of Nebraska, passing through Swanson Reservoir and Harlan County Reservoir before curving southward into the Smoky Hills region of Kansas. The Republican River joins the Smoky Hill River at Junction City, Kansas to form the Kansas River.
Some cities along the river are McCook, Nebraska, Clay Center, Kansas, Concordia, Kansas and Junction City, Kansas. Near Concordia is the Republican River Pegram Truss, a bridge that goes over the Republican River that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The river was named after a branch of Pawnee Indians known as "the Republicans."[7]
Allocation of the water from the Republican River is governed through an agreement called the Republican River Compact, involving the states of Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado, as modified by the settlement[8] of a United States Supreme Court case involving a water-use dispute under the Compact.[9]
Major flooding[edit]
July 1902[edit]
On July 9, 1902, the river flooded near Concordia, Kansas, breaking a dam and re-routing the river by a quarter-mile (about half a kilometer).[10]
May/June 1935[edit]
The storm of May 31 and June 1, 1935, (called "Nebraska's Deadliest Flood") dumped an average rainfall of 9 inches (230 mm) on the river's watershed. This storm was also unique in that it moved in the same direction as the drainage basin. As a result, the Frenchman, Red Willow, Medicine, Deer, Muddy, and Turkey creeks all reached their flood peaks at the same time as the crest passed on the Republican River.
According to witness accounts, the roar of the water could be heard coming down the Republican Valley 5 miles (8 km) away. Many survivors also reported that there were two crests - the water came up on May 28, then receded slightly, but the second crest on June 1 greatly exceeded the first. At one point, the water rose 6 feet (1.8 m) in 30 minutes and was 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5 m) higher than the previous record crest. Another account states that the Republican rose 10 feet (3 m) in 12 minutes in McCook, destroying the structures in its path. Water was 20 feet (6 m) deep in some places, and the discharge was 280,000 cubic feet per second (7,900 m3/s), more than 320 times the normal flow today.
Estimates show 113 people killed. From 11,400 to 41,500 head of cattle were killed; one report said that carcasses littering the roads made them impassable. A total of 341 miles (549 km) of highway and 307 bridges were destroyed, and 74,500 acres (301 km2) of farmland were inundated.[11]

This application is a continuation in part of Ser. No. 690,642, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,674,851 filed Jan. 11, 1985, and of Ser. No. 893,091, now abandoned filed Aug. 4, 1986.
The present invention relates to a lens for sunglasses, and, more particularly, to a unitary, high quality, substantially cylindrical lens having exceptional optical clarity, and which extends substantially unobstructed throughout the wearer's entire angular range of vision. The lens of the present invention maximizes the interception of peripheral light, while, at the same time, permits sufficient ventilation to remain comfortable and resist fogging. The cylindrical configuration of the lens also permits construction of sunglasses which conform closely to the front and sides of the wearer's head. The resulting low profile glasses utilizing the lens of the present invention are particularly suited for demanding situations which require precise optical resolution and interception of peripheral light, such as competition skiing or bicycle racing.
Sunglasses have long been designed with the general objective of blocking the sun or other sources of bright light from one's eyes. Numerous designs of dual lens glasses have been developed, differing essentially only in aesthetic features. Although useful for some purposes, the dual lens system is inherently incapable of meeting the demands of certain activities. For example, the frame on dual lens glasses presents a substantial obstruction to one's peripheral vision, which can be extremely disadvantageous in any fast-paced activity. Even in dual lens glasses without a frame along the lower edges of the lenses, the edge of each lens disrupts peripheral vision. Simply providing a larger lens, which is typically stamped or molded from a flat plane or a spherical blank, causes the glasses to extend too far tangentially away from the side of the head, leaving the glasses with an undesirably bulky profile.
At the same time, the dual lens glasses only intercept sunlight directly in front of the eye, leaving a large, unprotected periphery about each lens. Momentary flashes of light around the lens during activity causes constriction of the pupils, with a fleeting blindness as one attempts to readjust through the darkened lens.
Prior art attempts to block peripheral light (aside from opaque blinders) included bending a flexible lens in an anterior direction near the lateral edge. Although this improved the interception of peripheral light, the resulting optical resolution was unacceptable for high speed competition situations. This is due to the phenomena that even minor irregularities in the radius of curvature, which inherently result when bending a lens, cause an irregular diffraction of lightwaves passing through that region of the lens and distort the field of vision.
The unitary, molded, frusto-conical lens blank was then developed, such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,515,448 to Tackles. Although diffraction gradients were minimized by molding the lens with a predetermined curvature, the unitary frusto-conical lens remained unsatisfactory for several reasons.
One principal dissatisfaction with the frusto-conical lens is that the lens tends to conform so closely to the wearer's head that adequate ventilation is not possible. Indeed, reference to Alderson's head forms, which are generally accepted standards for typical anatomical structure, reveal that the front of the human head very closely conforms to a frusto-conical plane. As a result, the lens very closely conforms to the forehead at the top and to the cheek bones at the bottom thereof. If the dimensions of the glasses are reduced to leave a gap for ventilation, they no longer sufficiently intercept light. Alternatively, if the lens is curved outwardly, for example, away from the cheek bone, the optical quality of the lens is impaired.
An additional disadvantage of the frusto-conical lens from a manufacturing standpoint, is that the mold for producing a lens blank of that shape is very difficult to polish. In the manufacturing process, molded unitary curved lens blanks cannot be buffed or polished. Instead, they must come out of the mold perfectly clear. This requires periodic polishing of the hardened steel mold to a uniform, mirror-smooth surface which, for mechanical reasons, is difficult to economically accomplish for a frusto-conically shaped mold. As a result of very minor rough areas and depressions which develop on the mold surface, a slight fogging of the lens occurs, as well as variations in thickness, rendering it unsuitable for many specialized activities.
Thus, notwithstanding the numerous attempts in the prior art, Applicant is unaware of any sunglasses which have both excellent optical properties and interception of peripheral light, yet at the same time have a sleek, low profile, and adequate ventilation, such as the glasses disclosed herein.
There has been provided, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a unitary curved lens for mounting any frame to form a pair of eyeglasses, conformed to extend in the path of the wearer's left and right eye fields of vision. The lens comprises a unitary pane curved about an axis and having a substantially constant radius throughout, such that the lens defines a portion of the wall of a cylinder. This configuration eliminates the need for multiple frame support mechanisms and enhances the unobstructed field of the wearer's vision. In addition, the curvature of the present lens permits it to conform closely from side to side to the wearer's face, thus maximizing the interception of sun and other strong light sources, both directly in front and peripherally, while at the same providing comfort and pleasing esthetic characteristics.
The lens has an arc length measured from a first distal end of the lens along the curved arc of the lens to a second distal end of from about 51/2 to about 7 inches. The radius of the arc defining the inner concave surface of the cylindrical lens is within the range of from about 2.5 to about 4.5 inches. The height of the lens measured in an axial direction is greater in the area of each of the distal ends than at a point intermediate said ends in order to provide an accommodating opening for the nosepiece. Thus, the lens is divided into two eye panes, each having a height within the range of from about 13/4 to about 3 inches. The area intermediate the two eye panes which is of reduced height in order to accommodate the nosepiece typically has a height dimension of within the range of about 3/4 inch to 11/2 inches. The thickness of the lens in the foregoing embodiment is substantially uniform throughout the arc length thereof.
In accordance with another embodiment of the lens of the present invention, the thickness of said lens is less at the first and second distal ends thereof than at a point midway therebetween. Preferably, the thickness of the lens at a point approximately 45� along the arc thereof from the midpoint will be from about 40% to about 99% of the average thickness of the lens in a region near the midpoint thereof. The ratio of the height of the lens in an axial direction through the eye pane to the arc length of the lens is typically within the range from about 0.30 to about 3.50. The ratio of the radius of the arc defining the interior concave surface of the lens to the arc length of the lens is in the range of from about 0.35 to about 0.80.
Further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments which follows, when considered together with the attached figures and claims.

FIG. 22 is a fragmentary view of a modified lens sheet.
Referring to FIGS. 1-4, there has been provided in accordance with one aspect of the present invention a unitary curved lens 12 for mounting in a frame 13 to form a pair of eyeglasses 14, conformed to extend in the path of the wearer's left and right eye fields of vision.
The curvature of the unitary lens 12 of the present invention is substantially cylindrical, thereby eliminating the need for multiple frame support mechanisms and enhancing the unobstructed field of the wearer's vision. As shown in FIG. 1, the curvature of the present lens 12 permits it to conform closely from side to side to the wearer's face, thus maximizing the interception of sun and other strong light sources, while at the same time providing comfort and pleasing esthetic characteristics.
Looking at the lens 12 from top to bottom, as shown in FIG. 2, the lens curvature permits it to conform closely to the face of the wearer along its upper edge, while providing a ventilation space 42 along its lower edge, as explained below in more detail. FIG. 2 also illustrates the upward curvature of the upper edge of the lens which intercepts downwardly incident light rays.
FIG. 3 illustrates the present lens 12 substantially conforming to the exterior surface of a curved geometrical body, such as a cylinder 24. Since the present lens 12 is molded in this configuration, it does not have to be bent or twisted to conform to the wearer's face or to a mechanism for supporting the lens on the face, thus avoiding optical distortion due to such bending or twisting.
Thus, the lens of the present invention is preferably provided with a substantially uniform curve, such that a line 16 (FIG. 3) drawn along the surface of the lens 12 in a circumferential direction defines an arc of substantially uniform radius 18, as shown in FIG. 3. At the same time, a line 20 drawn along the surface of the lens 12 in an axial direction is substantially parallel to the axis of a cylinder 24 (illustrated in FIG. 3). Thus, the lens of the present invention is provided with a curve such that it substantially conforms to a portion on the surface of a cylinder.
Optimally, the lens 12 has a radius of curvature 18 in the "as-molded" condition which is substantially unchanged by mounting the lens 12 in a pair of eyeglass frames 13. It has been determined that optical properties of a lens are detrimentally affected by deviations from the as-molded condition. For example, bending a lens cut from flat sheet stock or a flat molded blank to provide a cylindrical curvature inherently results in minor variations in the radius along the arc length of the lens. Variations in the light diffraction properties of the lens result, which introduce distortion. In addition, bending a lens can also result in stress fractures or other compression or expansion induced flaws which can impair the optical qualities of the lens.
Thus, the lens is preferably pre-molded to the desired configuration. Although a variety of radii might accrue the advantages of the present invention, the lens is preferably molded to a radius 18 within the range of from about 2.50 to about 4.50 inches, and preferably within the range of from about 3.50 to 4.00 inches. The foregoing radius dimensions represent the distance from the axis to the arc which defines the interior, concave portion of the lens. The lens of the present invention has sufficient thickness that it is not accurately defined as having only a single radius. Instead, referring to FIG. 5, the lens 12 has a thickness or depth dimension 26 along its entire arc length which causes the arc defined by the outer, convex surface 28 to have a different radius R1 than the radius R2 of the arc defined by the inner, concave surface 30 of the lens 12. Hence, the radius R1 of the convex surface 28 is essentially equal to the sum of the radius R2 of the concave surface 30 and the depth 26 of the lens in the foregoing embodiment.
The foregoing discussion pertains to the contour of the lens, as distinguished from its shape, which will now be discussed. The shape of one embodiment of the lens may be best understood by reference to FIG. 4, although many other shapes can be envisioned which will accrue the advantages of the present invention.
A first eye pane 32 and a second eye pane 34 are located directly in front of the wearer's left and right eyes, respectively, and are merged together with a unitary bridge portion 35. In addition, the distal portion 36 of eye pane 32, for example, continues along the arc path of the lens 12, as discussed above in connection with FIG. 3, such that it preferably traverses the entire angular range of vision for the corresponding eye. Similarly, the distal portion 38 of eye pane 34 extends substantially all the way across the wearer's angular range of vision for the other eye. In this manner, a substantial amount of light which approaches the eye from a peripheral direction will travel through the lens before reaching the wearer's eyes.
The objective of shielding against peripheral light is best accomplished in a lens having a radius within the above-stated ranges, if the arc length of the lens is within the range of from about 51/2 to about 7 inches. The arc length of the lens is the length along the surface of the lens from a first distal end 58 to a second distal end 59, illustrated in FIG. 6.
Another aspect of the lens of the present invention is that not only does it effectively block peripheral light, but it still permits sufficient ventilation to remain comfortable and to resist fogging. This is accomplished by the linear conformation of the lens along the axial line 20 illustrated in FIG. 3 as well as by the height of the lens. Due to the substantially cylindrical configuration of the lens 12, a frame 13 can be provided for supporting the lens 12 which closely conforms to the shape of the wearer's forehead. This provides a seal against wind, which, for example, in the case of a bicycle rider is directed at a downward angle such as that indicated by the arrow 40 in FIG. 2. In addition, a band of an absorbent material 80 can be disposed between the frame 13 and the forehead to prevent perspiration from entering the wearer's eyes. See, for example, FIG. 13.
At the same time, the axial line 20 of the cylindrical lens 12 gradually increases in distance from top to bottom away from the receding profile of the wearer's face, which is roughly defined by a frusto-conical curve. Thus, as can be seen in FIG. 2, a ventilation gap 42 results between the lower edges 44 and 46 of eye panes 32 and 34, respectively, and the wear's face. This is a significant advantage over the prior art frusto-conical lens. For a lens dimensioned as described herein, ventilation gap 42 will be roughly from about 3/16 to about 5/16 inch greater than the corresponding gap, if any, in the frusto-conical system.
The size of the ventilation gap 42 will also depend in part upon the height 48 of the lens, illustrated on eye pane 32 (FIG. 4) for convenience. It is understood that the height of the eye panes 32 and 34 will be essentially the same and the discussion in connection with one is intended to apply to both.
The height 48 (d2) of the lens 12 of the present invention, measured from the top 50 of the lens 12 to the bottom edge 44, may be varied to optimize various functional and aesthetic considerations, but will typically fall within the range of from about 13/4 to about 3 inches, and, preferably between about 2 and 23/4 inches. As previously discussed, the two eye panes 32 and 34 merge into a unitary lens by way of a connecting bridge portion 35. The distance (d1) from the top 50 of the lens to the lower edge 51 of the bridge portion 35 may also vary, but preferably is within the range of from about 3/4 inch to about 11/2 inches.
In accordance with another embodiment of the cylindrical lens of the present invention, there has been provided a unitary lens substantially as described above, with the following modification. Referring to the horizontal sectional view of the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 6, there is disclosed a lens 52 defined between an outer convex surface 54, having a radius 55, and an inner concave surface 56, having a radius 57. The principal difference from the previously detailed embodiment is that the thickness of the lens 52 at each of the distal ends 58 and 59 is less than or equal to the average thickness of the lens at every point 53 intermediate the two distal ends 58 and 59. In addition, the thickness of lens 52 measured at least one point intermediate the two ends 58 and 59 is greater than the thickness at each of those ends.
The invention can best be understood by reference to FIG. 6, which illustrates the relationship between the lens thickness and angular position along the arc length of a lens. Since the arc length of a lens can be varied considerably, although it is preferably within the range of from about 51/2 to 7 inches, reference points will arbitrarily be selected at the centerline 60 and at the 45� line 62. Thus, since the distance from centerline 60 to reference 62 is 1/8 of 360� , the reference arc length for a radius of 3 inches is about 4.7 inches which is well below the preferred range.
In accordance with the tapered lens embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the lens at reference line 62 is preferably from about 40% to about 99% of the thickness at centerline 60. Thus, for example, a lens having a centerline thickness of about 0.060 inches will preferably have a thickness of within the range of about 0.024 to about 0.059 inches at reference line 62, and a thickness near the distal end within the range of about 0.040 to about 0.055 inch. The thickness of the lens at the midpoint is preferably within the range of from about 0.055 to about 0.070 inch.
Preferably, the thickness of the lens tapers at a substantially even rate from the widest region which is centered about centerline 60, to narrower regions near each of the distal ends 58 and 59. In this manner, optical distortion is minimized, as has previously been discussed.
By even rate it is meant that the taper results from the convergence of an arc defining the outer surface 54 of lens 52, and an arc defining the inner surface 56 of lens 52, each arc characterized by constant radii 55 and 57, respectively. Although the surfaces need not be perfectly uniform arcs, as in the previously discussed embodiment, conformation of the lens surface to a substantially constant radius curve accrues important optical advantages. The foregoing may be accomplished in a variety of ways, such as for example, by making radius 55 equal to radius 57 and displacing the center points from each other. Alternatively, radius 55 may be greater or lesser than radius 57, so long as the converging geometry results.
In the production lens, of course, the distal ends 58 and 59 are formed well before the continuation of the arcs defining surfaces 54 and 56 converge. In a cylindrical lens produced in accordance with this embodiment, for example, and having a centerline thickness of approximately 0.060 inches, the thickness at a point proximate either distal end 58 or 59 will generally be within the range of from about 0.040 to about 0.055 inch.
Finally, since a portion of the lens 52 near the distal ends 58 and 59 serves primarily to block peripheral light and is likely outside of the wearer's line of vision, it is less crucial that the radius of curvature be constant in this area. Thus, the lens may be provided with a smooth taper only up to a certain point intermediate the reference line 62 in FIG. 6 and the distal end 59. From that point until the distal end 59, the lens 52 may be provided with a relatively constant thickness or a taper of a different rate. Perhaps less desirable from a manufacturing standpoint, this embodiment could still accrue the advantages of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 7, the lens of the present invention may be provided with a top frame 120 extending along and bounding the upper edge 50 of the lens or pane 111, which may be either the substantially constant thickness lens illustrated in FIG. 5, or the tapered thickness lens illustrated in FIG. 6. Frame 120 preferably bounds the upper edge 50 of lens 111 along the area between the notched areas 121 and 122 formed immediately above the individual eye panes 112 and 114. The frame advantageously consists of relatively rigid, molded plastic material, which may be transparent or dyed any of a variety of colors.
The top frame 120 is shown as being removably attached to the top edge 50 of the lens 111. For this purpose, a slot 123 is formed upwardly therein (FIG. 15) from the bottom of the frame 120, with curvature generally matching that of the lens, to tightly, yet removably receive the lens upper edge 50. The curvature of the slot 123 may be slightly different than the cylindrical, as-molded curvature of the lens, to provide a mismatch, to grip the pane, which then resiliently co-acts with the frame to very slightly deform the pane to frusto-conical shape. Note that the lens upper edge 50 is shown to have slight upward convexity, in FIG. 4, as well as cylindrical curvature, as in FIG. 5. Fastening means such as one or more tangs 160, 161 (see FIG. 4) integral with the pane 12 and projecting over notched areas 121 and 122 fit in corresponding shallow recesses 162 in the frame, at opposite ends of the slot 123, to help retain the pane in position. See FIG. 7.
The top frame has enlarged end terminals at 124 and 125, portions of which extend in notched areas 121 and 122. In addition, terminals 124 and 125 are movably attached to two stems or arms 126 and 127 adapted to extend rearwardly to the wearer's ears (FIGS. 11 and 13). Attachment may be, for example, by trunnions 128 or tongue 128(a) integral with top frame 120, and the bearings or openings 169 in flanges 170 integral with the stem, illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 13. These elements may be of molded, resilient plastic construction and designed to forcibly interfit, and to allow forcible "pull-away," as during impact, for the safety of the wearer. Stems 126 and 127 hook at 129 over the wearer's ears, and may also consist of molded plastic material.
A nosepiece 130 may be provided as illustrated in FIGS. 16-18, which bounds the pane upwardly humped lower edge 131 (see FIG. 4), and has terminals 132 and 133 which are laterally spaced apart to be located along the edge 131 of the pane. The nosepiece has upwardly extending sections 130(a) which taper toward one another, in matching relation to pane edge 131. An upwardly convex section 130(b) interconnects the sections 130(a). The nosepiece has a slot 134 formed therein to extend along the wave-shaped length of the nosepiece for removable interfit with the pane upwardly humped lower edge 131, as seen in FIGS. 8 and 9.
FIG. 9 shows the nosepiece 130 as channel shaped in cross-section, with flanges 135 and 136 that taper toward one another, to be spread apart upon reception of the pane, as seen in FIG. 8, providing a removable grip or retention of these elements.
The nosepiece 130 preferably comprises a relatively soft elastomeric material having a coefficient of sliding friction that increases when the material is wetted. Such a material is preferably hydrophilic, and tends to retain the nosepiece in position on the wearer's upper nose area as the wearer perspires, or encounters moisture as during skiing. Also, the preferred material is soft, for comfort. One such material is KROTON G, a product of Shell Oil Company.
FIGS. 16-18 show the provision of elastomeric pads 170 connected to the nosepiece 130, and adapted to flex and closely fit the opposite sides of the wearer's nose. A V-shaped elastomeric connector 171 joints the pads to reinforce them and yieldably resist pad flexing. Connector 171 parallels the nosepiece at 130(b), and they define a ventilation slot 173 therebetween to pass air to the rear side of the pane 111 bridge section 113, to resist fogging. See, for example, FIG. 17.
The nosepiece 130 and attached pads 170 may be removed, relatively downwardly, and replaced with a selected substitute, having different size, shape or color, to meet the needs of the wearer. The top frame may also be easily removed upwardly from the pane, and replaced with a different size or color frame. Alternatively, the pane itself may be replaced with a substitute having different sun blocking shading or composition, color, etc. Thus, the wearer or user may assemble his sunglasses from a large number of different components, as provided on a rack or other display, to result in an assembled sunglasses truly best fitted and best suited, component wise, in every respect to the requirements of the wearer.
The notches or notched areas 121 and 122 that extend downwardly proximate the attachments of the hinged connections of the arms to the top frame also open sidewardly. It is found such upper notches draw discharge moisture collecting on the rearward surfaces of the pane, and below the top frame (which projects rearwardly from the top of the pane). Such discharge is believed due to an aspirating affect of air directed laterally toward the notches at the front of the pane, during forward movement of the wearer (as for example a skier). Also, air turbulence at the rearside of the pane is reduced due to presence of the notches. Accordingly, the wearer's eyes are further protected from air turbulence and moisture, and during skiing, wind surfing, etc.
The frame 120 may also be provided with a second slot 180 sunk in its rearward side (see FIG. 15) to receive a tongue portion 181(a) of a foam pad strip 181. Padding 181 is adapted to engage the wearer's forehead, for comfort, whereby the sunglasses are yieldably supported on the wearer's nose by flexing elastomeric pads 170, and by engagement of pad 180 with the wearer's forehead, as during force application to the sunglasses toward the wearer's face.
FIGS. 19-22 show the nose portion 193 of a modified lens sheet 194 which is otherwise constructed as is lens sheet 111. It has an inverted V-shaped lower edge defining upwardly facing shoulders 195 that act to block downward displacement of the lower ends 132 and 133 of the V-shaped lower frame 130, seen in FIG. 16. The lens sheet has two pairs of edges, each shoulder 195 extending between the edges 196 and 197 of each pair. As the nosepiece 130 is pushed upwardly into position, its leg sections 130(a) ultimately snap outwardly away from one another, so that the lowermost end 130(c) of each leg section engages a shoulder 195. Note that each leg section is grooved, as at 130(d), to receive the edge extent of the lens sheet. To remove the nosepiece, the leg sections are press-deflected toward one another so that the lower ends of the leg sections clear the shoulders 195, and the nosepiece is then removed downwardly.
Although this invention has been described in terms of certain preferred embodiments, other embodiments that are apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art are also within the scope of this invention. Accordingly, the scope of this invention is intended to be limited only by the appended claims.

Vintage photo finds
Vintage Photo Finds is a site with vintage photographs. According to creator Joel Snow:
The following pictures were found as negatives at the bottom of a cardboard box at a flea market. I shot them with my SLR on a lightbox and inverted them back to positives with Photshop. I'm not sure if it was a single photographer, or many, but many of the shots show an artistic and creative eye and share a similar style.[more inside]
Just put 'em in the freezer...
In 2013, NZ researchers looking at conserving evidence from the Shackleton Expedition (1914-17) found 22 unprocessed negatives stored in a box at a hut where a group of stranded explorers had sheltered. "Though slightly damaged, the incredible images give us a rare glimpse of adventurers from the past."
"God gave me the talent to pose for pictures and it seems to make people happy. That can't be a bad thing, can it?"
Many of the photos of classic pin-up Bettie Page were taken by the photographer Paula Klaw, who helped to run the photo shop and men's magazine business owned by her brother Irving. Chuck Keefe (blog), an artist, had several photographs of Klaw's autographed by her, and eventually by Bettie herself. An interesting look at part of the story of two of pin-up's most notorious women....

This post is the first of a series of reflections on the state of the Environmental Humanities, or Eco-Humanities, and of where this interdisciplinary field might be headed. A note on terminology: The term "Environmental Humanities" has caught on in ways that "Eco-Humanities" and other variations have not, but the debate between them has hardly occurred, […]

And when I add talk and conference paper titles, there's screening, greening, […]

Chivalry and class are the two biggest turn ons for me. I enjoy common courtesy and appreciate the grace I witness, and constantly look for the silver lining in all things.
I like to dress up or down as the situation calls for it.

As much as Joel McHale may be starring in an upcoming major motion picture ("Spy Kids 4") and may have a sitcom on network television ("Community"), that doesn't mean that McHale has lost any independent spirit that he may have at one time possessed. We also don't want you to think that just because the show has a sponsor that it still isn't independent either. Rather, consider the nod to commercialism and Hollywood solely a way to pay the bills so that the independents can really go out and do their thing because it's right with no thought to success or recognition (like an awards show) or anything like that.

Emma Roberts and Evan Peters, who dated for three years but called off their engagement in June, were spotted leaving dinner together in West Hollywood on Sunday.
Roberts, 24, and Peters, 28, were both smiling and seeming to be on friendly terms as they left the Izakaya restaurant on Sunday evening. There's no indication that the two American Horror Story stars are a couple once again, but it is further proof that the two actors have remained on good terms following their breakup. Roberts and Peters were previously seen looking chummy at Entertainment Weekly's Comic Con party in July.

PONCA, Neb. — The Sioux City Journal reports that Nikki Carnell, a school bus driver for Ponca Public School District, drove on her route for the last time on Dec. 20, ending a 37-year career.
Carnell started working in school transportation after a friend talked her into driving a van for the district in 1977. The school superintendent asked her to drive a school bus after a few years, and ever since, she has driven 70 to 100 miles daily. She never had an accident, according to the paper.
As a tribute to her on her last day, many Ponca High School students who live along her route rode the bus instead of driving to school. When they arrived, the entire student body and her family greeted her inside the building, where she was presented with roses.
Carnell will continue to see her former passengers, working as a library aide at the school.

A DuBose Middle School student has been suspended after writing a note with a heading that read People to Kill.
According to the Dorchester County Sheriffs Office and a statement from Dorchester District Two, on Aug. 29 a teacher at DuBose Middle found a note that had been dropped in the hallway that had a list of names, 14 of whom were students, and was titled People to Kill.
After an investigation by school administration and the School Resource Officer, the student was identified and admitted to writing the list but stated it was not meant as a threat. DCSOs incident report states the student said he had written the list as a method of stress relief and he had meant to place the list in the trash, and that he would never hurt anyone.
The students parents were notified, and they said they dont own firearms and the student wouldnt have access to any.
DD2 stated the student was immediately suspended until a district discipline hearing. After students on the list were identified, all parents were contacted. The incident report states the school day ended without further incident.

Tomorrow night, the NHL will bring us something that has never been seen before: The NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft.
Instead of East vs. West this year, the NHL has decided that they will have a Fantasy Draft to determine the teams.
The Detroit Red Wing's Nicklas Lidstrom and Carolina Hurricanes' Eric Staal are the Team captains and they will pick their teams this Friday. Lidstrom is joined by the Chicago Blackhawks' Patrick Kane and Tampa Bay Lightning's Martin St.Louis, while Stall is joined by the Washington Capitals' Mike Green and the Vancouver Canucks Ryan Kesler.
The NHL is hyping the draft up by saying Ovechkin and Crosby(before he pulled out) could play together. They've also added the brother vs. brother gimmick in terms of the Staals and the Sedin twins.
While some people I've talked to don't like this new concept, I believe it adds a little bit of intrigue into a game that hasn't really mattered much in past years.
I know I'll be watching this Friday to see what happens. Since I'm watching it on TSN, I know I'll have to deal Pierre McGuire try to make sense of the picks and I guess I'm about to do the same thing but I think I can make it a little more interesting.
I'm going to flip a coin and... Team Staal gets the first pick
So with further a due, with the first pick in the 2011 NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft, Team Staal selects...

I couldn't believe what I was seeing last weekend when I watched a clip of two Texas high school football players targeting an official during a game.
With Johnson (Savannah) slated to come to town at 7:30 p.m. Friday, the Bluffton High football team returned to the practice field Monday in high spirits and in good health, eager to snag a two-game win streak.
No reason for any extra practice after this performance by Serena Williams.
A San Antonio school district has suspended two football players from the team after one of them ran into the back of a referee watching a play and the other dove into the official, the district's athletic director said Sunday.
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer says he meant no disrespect to Virginia Tech
Carl Edwards wanted momentum heading into NASCAR's championship chase. He found it at Darlington Raceway.
The Bluffton High School swim team started its season on Wednesday by hosting a dual meet against Battery Creek, Beaufort Academy, Hilton Head Christian Academy and John Paul II Catholic School.
Football finally returned Thursday, as semi-professional, non-paid college players took to the field around the country after months of waiting.
Good to see that South Carolina survived the North Carolina matchup.
The Heritage Classic Foundation and Brown Golf added to their staffs last week.
Tyler Daly is the new Heritage Classic Foundation volunteer coordinator and tournament support manager.

Comcast-Charter deal is just latest serving of TV's consolidation recipe
Local television institutions are undergoing enormous changes in the way they are owned and operated.
The announcement Monday that Comcast has agreed to shed 1.4 million Time Warner Cable customers in Wisconsin is the latest in a series of regulatory-, economic- and technology-driven changes in the communications industry come home to roost.
In January, WITI-TV (Channel 6) became a subsidiary of Tribune Broadcasting, and recently began promoting the television series "Salem," produced by and airing on WGN, that Chicago-based company's flagship station. Subsequent to last year's two-month blackout of its stations on Time Warner Cable, Journal Broadcast Group moved management of its television operations, including local station WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), to Nashville.
Such actions are "interrelated only in that they are part of the bigger pattern of media consolidation and competition for the subscriber attention and dollar," said Barry Orton, professor of telecommunications at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Orton compared the Comcast-Charter deal to a scene in "The Godfather, Part II," in which crime figures meet in Havana to carve up Cuba like a birthday cake.
"This isn't very different from that," he said. "This is a reconfiguration of who owns which customers in the cable and broadcast industry and...the broadband industry."
To extend the baked goods analogy, the acquisition puts Comcast's fingers further into several pies: cable distribution and content creation through NBC, which it purchased last year; and the Internet, with the Time Warner acquisition making the company the largest broadband provider in the United States.
By acquiring Time Warner, Comcast is "essentially hedging its bets" as "cord cutters" flee pay TV for online programming, Orton said. The divestiture of Time Warner subscribers here "is a secondary part of that deal," he added.
For pay-TV and Internet consumers, the delivery system is less important than value and quality.
"It's far too early to know" how the switch affects either, said Time Warner spokesman Michael Pedelty.
He said Time Warner would "continue to give the best customer experience we can" in the interim.
How the changes will affect local broadcasters "remains to be seen," said Mark Strachota, general manager of Weigel Broadcasting station WDJT-TV (Channel 58).
Regardless of which pay-TV service retransmits local broadcast signals, "you want to have good relationships with all of them," said Strachota, formerly general manager of Time Warner Cable's SportsChannel. He joined Weigel in February.
"What I remember from working with the people at Charter is that they are decent people to work with," he said.
Strachota oversees Chicago-based Weigel's eight local program streams in southeastern Wisconsin, including the nationally distributed MeTV nostalgia channel. "It's kind of a mini cable company in a sense," he said.
Strachota said that recent changes in the broadcast and pay-TV market locally are part of "a transition" to "a new way that people are watching television. The 'TV everywhere' proposition. Any device, any time, anywhere."
"Broadcasters and cable companies." Strachota said, "have to respond to what viewers want."

Kerry Sweating to Save Face and Announce 'Peace Talks'
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has turned his schedule upside down to keep his three-ring circus from collapsing under his "peace tent" that he has weighted down with his fake smile and iron fist to save himself from looking like a diplomatic clown.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas are not so stupid as to let themselves be blamed for any failure to resume a charade of the resumption of the peace process after a hiatus of more than two years. That leaves Kerry doing cartwheels to get the monkey off his back.
Israel has insisted that there be no pre-conditions, which in today's diplomatic acrobats would mean acceding whatever Abbas demands, such as a building freeze or accepting a future PA state on the "basis" of the old borders of Israel.
Abbas has insisted that the only thing to talk about is when Israel is ready to accept what he considers a de facto state based on all of his political and territorial demands that the United Nations General Assembly, which is in his pocket, has confirmed through a resolution that is non-binding but which gave the PA a free pass to sit on key U.N. committees such as UNESCO. Next in line is the International Court.
Kerry has brought in Jordan's King Abdullah into the picture. He is on his knees before Washington because of the spillover of the Syrian civil war into Jordan and the kingdom's own precarious state in the face of louder tremors from the Bedouin and non-Jordan Arabs (read: Arabs who fled from Israel.) Add to that the up and coming Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan and you come up with n explosive mixture that makes the king all the more dependent on the United States for help.
King Abdullah will do anything Kerry tells him to do, and it is in his own best interests to show himself as peacemaker by bringing the three-ring circus into his own court.
Netanyahu has two Israelis who are weighing him down. President Shimon Peres and "Minister of Peace Process" Tzipi Livni, like Kerry, have made as career out of "good will" concessions to the Palestinian Authority.
It is anyone's guess what will come out of all this, but after wading through all of the trial balloons and media manipulation by the actors, Kerry clearly will be a lot less effective in other parts of the world if he is seen as a failure in the Middle East and cannot pin the blame on Abbas or Netanyahu for failing to resume direct talks.
The worst-case scenario for Kerry, if he cannot pull off a four-way stage show now, probably will be an agreement to continue talk about continuing to agree to talk about an agreement.
