Crews work on spreading absorbent material along Revere Avenue after the fuel tank of a Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight train was punctured while traveling along the tracks Tuesday.

However, the agency will continue to ban men who have had sex with a

man in the last year, saying the barrier is necessary

to keep the blood supply safe, a move that frustrated

rights groups that were pushing for the ban to be removed entirely. The FDA enacted the

ban in 1983, early in the AIDS epidemic. SeeBlood ban/A4

Bush, 90, would be held at least overnight at Houston Methodist Hospital as a precaution, said the spokesman, Jim McGrath. He isexpected to be fine, McGrath said. Theformer president spent nearly two months at Houston Methodist — including a week inintensive care — in late 2012 and early 2013while suffering from a bronchitis-related cough and fever. Bush, the oldest living former president (he is about four months older than JimmyCarter), has aform of Parkinson's disease and often uses awheelchair or scooter. He and his wife, Barbara, frequently makeappearances in Houston, and he went sky diving on his 90th birthday in June. Last month, he traveled to his presidential library at Texas A8 MUniversity, where his oldest son, former President George W.Bush, unveiled his book, "41: APortrait of My Father."

The parliament, firmly controlled by apro-Western majority, voted overwhelmingly 303-8 to rescind a policy of "nonalignment" and to instead pursue closer military and strategic ties with the West. Former President Viktor Yanukovych, whowas toppled in February and fled to Russia after months of protests in Kiev, the capital, pushed parliament to adopt the policy in 2010, shortly after he took office. The law haddefined nonalignment as "nonparticipation of Ukraine in the military-political alliances." The revised law, which was apriority of President Petro Poroshenko, requires Ukraine to "deepencooperation with NATO in order to achieve the criteria required for membership in this organization." For now, it still seems unlikely that Ukraine will join NATO, inpart because of Russia's strong opposition.

HISTORY Highlight:In 1914, during World War I, impromptu Christmas truces beganto take hold along parts of the Western Front between British and German soldiers who, in some cases, exchanged gifts and played soccer with one another. Conservationist John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club, died in Los Angeles at age 76. In1814, the United States and Britain signed the Treaty of Ghent, which ended theWar of1812 after ratification by the British Parliament and the U.S. Senate. In1851, fire devastated the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., destroying about 35,000 volumes. In1871, GiuseppeVerdi's opera "Aida" had its premiere in Cairo. In1939, Pope Pius XII delivered a Christmas Eveaddress in which he offered a fivepoint program for peaceand denounced "premeditated aggressions." In1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower supreme commander of Allied forces in Europe aspart of Operation Overlord. In1951, Gian Carlo Menotti's "Amahl and the Night Visitors," the first opera written specifically for television, was first broadcast by NBC-TV. In1968, the Apollo 8 astronauts, orbiting the moon, read passages from the OldTestament Book of Genesis during a Christmas Evetelecast. In1974, Cyclone Tracy began battering the Australian city of Darwin, resulting in widespread damageandcausing some 65 deaths. In1994, militants hijacked an Air France Airbus A-300 at the Algiers airport; three passengers were slain during the siege before all four hijackers were killed by French commandos in Marseille two days later. In1999, five hijackers seized an Indian Airlines jet, forcing the aircraft on a journey across South Asia and into the Middle East. (The eight-day ordeal resulted in the death of one passenger and India's release of three jailed pro-Kashmir militants in exchange for the rest of the hostages.)

Beer bellies. Freshman 15. It's common knowledge that social drinkers carry a little extra weight around the middle. But is it actually true'? One health reporter — and self-described wine lover — investigates this somewhat dubious claim. By Jill U. Adams Special to The Washington Post

thing? Do social drinkers really carry around an extra five pounds of weight? I have avoided investigating the answers to this question for all my adult life — and all m y years as a health reporter. Call it denial by someone who likes her wine. Recently, I learned that the

caloric content of alcohol is higher (seven calories per gram) than that of proteins and sugars (both four calories per gram), and nearly as much as fats (nine calories). That sounded very worrying, I'll admit. But remember

that for managing weight, a m ore important number i s the total number of calories

in your beer (about 150 calories in a 12-ounce serving of regularbrew,a reminder that there's more to a drink than the alcohol) or your glass of red wine (125 calories in a five-ounce serving). A sugar-heavy 12-ounce cola also

carries 150 calories. And as far as common wisdom on drinking and weight gain goes, I am here to report, Craig Lee/ New YorkTimes filephoto the science is murky.

is the season of giving, not only to family and friends, but also to favorite worthy causes. Just as December is make-or-break time for retailers, so it is critical for worthy causes. Charities can pull in as much as a third of their annual donations this month, according to monitoring organizations such as Charity Navigator and GuideStar (both of which make ratings of national charities available on their websites at no cost). They have pitches featuring sad-eyed animals, sick children and noble veterans, firefighters and others. It takes care on the part of the giver to assure that a gift will be put to good use. Ellen Rosenblum, Oregon's attorney general, also makes giving wisely a bit easier.

gifts are no longer tax-deductible from your Oregon income taxes if a charity spends more than 70 percent of what it receives on overhead rather than good works. Meanwhile, some simple guidelines can help you give wisely. • Decide what's important to you. Ratherthanbe swayedbytelephone calls or televised pitches, select the causes you wish to support. Do so rationally, rather than in the heat of the moment. • Check to find out how much of your gift actually supports a charity's mission. Do expect that some of every gift will go to such things as a charity's heat, lights and salaries, but be wary if much more than a third is spent that way. give away. • Many local organizations serve Her 2014 list came out last week. the same groups you hope to help; No organization on it is based in Or- check with family and friends if egon,and not onedirects more than you're unsure about which ones to 32 percent of what it receives to the support.

A group of crowdfunding websites for athletes has started in recent years, including Rally Me, Pledge Sports and Make a Champ. Thousands of athletes have used such sites to

became the first national sports federation to establish

a formal partnership with a crowdfunding site, Rally Me. More than 100 hopefuls for the

Sochi Olympics raised money on the site; 28 made it to the

Olympics, and five earned medals. Other U.S. national teams took note, and in the past two

The Dow Jones industrial average broke through 18,000 points for the first time Tuesday as the stock market continued a late-year march to record highs. Investors welcomed the latest encouraging news on the economy that showed the U.S. grew at the fastest pace in more than a decade in the third quarter. The market has risen for five-straight sessions, bouncing from a rough patch earlier this month. Investors have been encouraged by signs of strength in the U.S. economy and reassurances that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates low.

TRAIL UPDATE With ChrisSabe Substantial rainfall last weekendhascreated high water and slush hazards in most of the Deschutes Forest snoparks. Elevations below 6,500 feet received moderate to substantial rainfall, creating slush and pools of water in the low-lying areas. Snowpack is wet because of the rain. Freezing overnight temperatures will create hard, crusty frozen ridges. Snowmobilers and skiers are advised to use caution andwatch for discoloration in the snow pack andtravel around those areas, not through them. Discoloration can indicate wet, watery snow, which can act like "concrete soup." Thereis decent snowfall in the forecast, calling for several inches of snow over theweekend above 5,800 feet. Five to 9 inchesare expected in the Dutchman Sno-Park areatoday and Thursday. Lower elevations will not get adequate snowover the next several days. Kapka Sno-Park is functional, but the trail out of Kapkato Dutchman is rough and bumpy. SeeTrails /D5

west of Coos Bay. The park is not only home to some of the most beautiful coastline in

the state, but it's also a short hike from the epic display of 300,000 Christmas lights that

SKY WATCH

Before investing in a telescope, try these Often, those new toobserving night sky objects ask what kind of telescope theyshould buy. Small telescopes with 60- to 90-millimeter apertures often disappoint and canbe difficult use. Consider acquiring an appropriate pair of binoculars first. Here aresome specifications for a pair of binoculars that would be suitable for night sky-watching: Magnification: 7x-10x Aperture: 32mm-50mm Lenses: Multicoated Other: Water/dew resistant Light weight Independent left/right eye focus Magnifications above 10can unnecessarily exaggerate anunsteady grip, producing jittery views. Aperture size —thediameter of the lenses in front — determines howmuch light is captured, which translates into the brightness of the objects being viewed. Larger aperture binoculars, however, areheavier and more tiring to hold over time. Thespecifications above produce good results for most people. For those readers whowear

Although the Kenai chapter no longer exists, Erickson is

Erickson said. Although she doesn't expect the trackchair to be relevant to
