...friend's 16 year-old sister and her friend went to an A.D. party on Saturday night, Oct. 10.

SHORTS OR TINIES? It seems the International Volleyball Federation, which regulates indoor volleyball, is tired of being the dowdy sister to beach volleyball.

And women's shorts "must be tight in waist and length," with a maximum inseam of 5 cm and "cut in at least a 30[degrees] angle toward the top of the leg." No ruling on tans...
