Wales' Shane Williams and England Women's rugby star Maggie Alphonsi have been awarded MBEs in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.
Williams announced his retirement from the sport recently, only to overturn his decision and opt to play in Japan for six months. The winger finished his international career in December 2011 as Wales' top try-scorer but was surprised to receive the honour.
"I have been lucky enough to have had a fantastic career and what a great way to finish," Williams said. "I am very humbled by the fact I am being regarded in this way - I never thought I would receive an honour such as this and it is a fantastic end to my career."
Alphonsi is one of the most well-known names in women's rugby and has been at the forefront of England's success in recent times. She was a key part of England's charge to the Women's Rugby World Cup final in 2010 and was part of the England team that defeated New Zealand in a historic three-Test series last autumn.
"I'm so pleased to have been given this great honour by HRH, the Queen," Alphonsi said. "What makes this honour so special is that it does not just recognise my own personal achievements but that of the England team - I wouldn't have received this had it not been for the hard work and dedication of the RFUW, the RFU and my England teammates.
"The remarkable work and achievements of the England Women's squad over the past six years has been fantastic, and to have been a part of that has been incredible. I certainly have to thank all the people who have supported me along the way."
Exeter Chiefs chairman Tony Rowe was also honoured with an OBE. "I feel very humbled to have been given this honour," Rowe said. "Initially when I received the letter from the cabinet office, I thought to myself what I have done wrong now. However, when I opened it up and saw the news I was initially shocked and could not believe it."

So we are going to assume by now you all know what Street League Skateboarding is. By merely watching one of their live televised events one wouldn't be able to see that this isn't the WWE, nor is it some evil corporations attempt to commodify skateboarding. At the center of Street League is the same heart that beats at the core of every skate shop and skate company. The CEO is a 20-year veteran pro skater, the president can be caught skating the Santa Monica courthouse in his off hours and even some of the female employees that don't skate could easily tell you the difference between a kickflip and a tre flip. This all helps to paint the greater picture that SLS is working hard with the right formula to bring competitive street skateboarding into the limelight. Let us pop the hood on the SLS offices and introduce you to the team.
Brian Atlas
New Jersey
Brian was originally hired to just write the business plan in the early phase of the league, Rob had no knowledge that Brian held a business degree from USC on top of being a more than fit skater. After many months refining the business plan and overall vision with Rob, Brian was hired to be the first employee of the Street League and the rest is history.
Also having tentacles that extend into carrying the torch of the now SLS Foundation (Formerly the Dyrdek Foundation) which builds skate plazas all throughout the country to spread participation in skateboarding. After all is said and done he still believes there is nothing more exciting to him than when it comes down to skaters battling for the final trick at an SLS contest that could totally change the outcome of the whole event.
Molly Magnifico
Senior Marketing Director
A 10 year vet of the skate industry, she got her early stripes in actions sports working on GvR and Maloof Money Cup before heading to Zumiez in Seattle where she handled their partnerships, including their SLS partnership starting in 2010, which is how she met Atlas.
Some of her fonder memories may be from the chaos that has taken place at SLS, but she gets the most pleasure from creating it these days. Beyond the obvious, Molly says the real reward comes in knowing that SLS and the SLS Foundation are bringing a bigger awareness to the culture of skateboarding and putting more skateboards in kids hands everyday. She may shy away from titles, but after sitting down with her it's clear she is the HBIC of SLS.
Daniel Duarte
Director of Content
The Dirty I.E.
Approaching the end of his rookie year at SLS after leaving the Berrics as their content director, he has always had a small hand in SLS since the beginning via initial consulting calls from Atlas. Duarte is what you would call a skateboarding renaissance man having never been truly employed outside of the skate industry.
Kaitlyn Banchero
Director of Partnership
Bay Area
Kaitlyn doesn't only have looks that could kill she also has work ethics to match. She has been with the league since the begining (2010). This hard working Bay Area beauty is another fact in the on going and up coming success Street League has in store. Molly and Kaitlyn are here to conquer… step aside boys.
Mark Johnston
Graphic Designer
Skater out of Arizona, Mark found his dream position over at the SLS offices and is now approaching his 2nd year at SLS. Mark is being modest I bet – he is the visual ninja at SLS and makes sure to keep the brand consistent and premium while working hard to always find ways to elevate the pros and skateboarding.
Christine Barbara
Marketing Coordinator
The adorably shy Christine is one of the newest faces over at Street League. Coming to us from the east coast and studying at San Diego State where she landed an internship with TransWorld, this now 5 year CA veteran is making her mark!
Ryan Ward
Kansas City
Site Manager
Team player Ryan Ward from the good ol Kansas City told us all about how he enjoys the chaos of working in skate industry..Coming to SLS from his 3 years over at the Berrics he's glad to be back in LA after a hiatus back in KC for a short stint.
Richie Valdez & David Serrano
Content Manager Digital Image Tech
David Serrano and Richie Valdez are our other Cali locales. David, the digital image tech or DIT as he likes to call it, doesn't only handle all the footy dumped his way but he's also skating the streets on his down time.
Richie Valdez has been a part of Street League for 3 years now. This SLS veteran doesn't only run the show, but he also has a lot of fire in him. Openly acknowledging that he could beat up Atlas and Duarte, Richie is still a big kid playing pranks, having fun and gets everything done.
Huge Thank You to everyone at the Street League offices for taking the time to show us around.

IBW 2014, day 2: Size 4 Woven Wrap
This carry is great for quick ups where I need Nae up out of the way so I can do something like chopping vegetables for dinner without having to worry about her grabbing the knife or getting underfoot in the kitchen.
A size 4 (3.6 meter) wrap is short enough that I can get it wrapped without dragging it on the ground if I'm out somewhere and it isn't too bulky to carry around or unwieldy to wrap, but is still long enough that I can do an extra pass or more involved tie-off for my comfort or run a pass under/over her legs to securely reinforce the carry so she can't push out of it by seat -popping/leg- straightening/excessive leaning.
This particular carry is one that I use only for relatively short periods of time because it puts more strain on my shoulders than some other carries I do with a longer wrap. But it's quick and convenient, keeps little hands out of whatever I'm doing, and Naomi loves it because it puts her up high where she can see over my shoulder and feel like she's involved in what I'm doing.
This size wrap also works great for a number of quick hip and front carries that are fast to tie and easy to pop baby in and out of for quick errands, when she needs to nurse, when we're out somewhere and I know she's going to be in and out of the wrap a lot, when she just wants a quick cuddle, or I need her contained for a few minutes; but I'm not planning to have her up for long periods of time.
Someone with less sensitive shoulders would likely be able to use this size of wrap for longer - term carries as well. The thickness, weave and fiber content will also affect how comfortable a given wrap is for particular carries or lengths of time for different people.
Currently I'm on the search for a size 4 wrap that I can wear in a single-layer carry for more than a few minutes at a time. The thinner Little Frog wraps at 190-210 g/m2 aren't going to be that wrap for me, but I do really love the colorways they have, and they are great low-budget wraps for people with younger babies or for multi-pass carries. The thicker Agate, Opal and Flourite colorways are slightly more substantial and have a bit more cush at 240 g/m2, and the linen and wool blends will be even more toddler-worthy.
Little Frog is a great low-budget basic wrap brand that will work well for many people. They are made in Poland, but their website has the option to show text and pricing in English and US dollars as well as Polish and Russian, as well as showing the currency in these and in Euros, depending on what you select in the drop-down menu on the top right corner of the web page.

Thank you for your coverage regarding the anti-Pebble initiative on the October Lake and Peninsula Borough ballot. Alaskans have been told that 80 percent of the region opposes the project and I was surprised to learn that nearly half of the local borough supports it. The results clearly contradict what Alaskans have been led to believe in the ongoing battle over resource and economic development in southwest Alaska.
Ginger Johnson
Regarding the Empire's outside editorial from the Kansas City Star that appeared in Tuesday's edition: The editorial reiterates the recent assassination attempt, on U.S. soil, of the Saudi Arabian ambassador. This editorial quotes an unnamed White House official as stating the United States "doesn't tolerate the targeting of foreign diplomats on our soil."
Well, that statement is OK enough, except it apparently doesn't apply to the United States when we're doing our assassination plotting in foreign countries.
The issue of alcohol abuse is now on the front burner in this valley. I believe one of the most significant steps we can take, is to offer life-saving information and education to turn this around.
Within the past 110 years or so, there were key people that have permanently altered our entire world for the worse:
It has always been curious to me that municipalities and organizations rarely save up money beforehand to do special projects, and pay cash for them. What usually happens is a bond issue is "forced" upon taxpayers, upon which the municipality goes into debt for the project and taxpayers pay, as part of bond retirement, millions of dollars in interest — on top of the project cost.
We all agree that reducing litter and increasing conservation and recycling is an important goal for every community. However, taxing shoppers for using plastic bags has downsides that can't be ignored.
In response to the article on IPV (intimate partner violence) by Emily Miller, I would like to comment about something not identified in the article. This is substance abuse. Take away substance abuse and the following could potentially be cut in half: domestic violence, child abuse, vehicular fatalities, overall crime (violent and non-violent), occupational absenteeism, higher mortality rate, illness and injury (occupational and non-occupational), homicides, suicides, welfare dependence, incarceration and the list goes on.
The citizens of Douglas came out in force to attend the U.S. Postal Service Alaska District Office community hearing at Mount Jumbo on the possible closure of the Douglas Post Office. The testimony I heard from all was, "Do not close our great Douglas U.S. Post Office." We certainly got the feeling from the district office that this was just a gesture on a determined decision.
The Alaska District Office notice recommending closure, which arrived in Douglas this past week, proves this. It is posted left side by the service door.
This letter is in reference to the article "Payment conflicts within tour company result in protest" which appeared on Page A1 of the Sept. 8 edition of the Empire and was written by Jonathan Grass.
The House version of the Sealaska Land Transfer bill, may be coming up for a vote as early as next week. This is a very controversial bill and is opposed by many Alaskans. It should be debated before congress and voted on its own merits. It must not be lumped in with other bills.
As a moderate politician, I would bend over backward not to be labeled any kind of environmentalist. But I carry reusable bags into the store every time I go shopping. It was a real hassle at first. I must be a slow learner because it has taken months for me to get to the place where I remember. But I feel I must be responsible for the life cycle costs of my own consumerism, and it makes me feel good to know that I am not encouraging the production of one unnecessary plastic bag that might harm our ecosystem or find its way into our food chain.

NH's past: Just leave it to Hollywood
At this month's town election, Kingston voters rejected a proposal to spend $150,000 to save the 179-year-old, publicly owned Grace Daley house on Main Street. Rather than spend the money, they voted for demolition. The house is a goner, but its pieces might be given renewed life by a California actor turned preservationist.
Bronson Pinchot, most famous for playing the character Balki in the 1980s TV show "Perfect Strangers" and Serge in the Beverly Hills Cop movies, has a cable TV show in which he salvages pre-1840s buildings. When a fan brought the Grace Daley house to his attention, he contacted the town about using it for his show.
Pinchot carefully disassembles old buildings and reuses their parts. As he said in an interview with the Union Leader last week, "you admire the workmanship and you honor it."
That is something done less and less in New Hampshire. There are numerous examples. To cite only a few, in 2006 Manchester razed its oldest standing firehouse. In 2011, the State Employees Association bought a beautiful Concord home built in 1802 and tore it down. In January, the owners of the Balsams Grand Resort, having no use for one of the original buildings, burned it down.
The attitude expressed by SEA president Diana Lacey in 2011 is more prevalent than it should be. "We're interested in the property. We're not interested in the building," she told Concord's Demolition Review Committee.
Who really is interested in old buildings these days? They're so... old. All that creaky wood and warped glass, those narrow stairwells and drafty doorways. Modern is the way to go. And it is the way New Hampshire is going. Without looking back. Just light the match and walk away, looking ever forward, ever forward.

COLUMBIA -- When South Carolina basketball coach Darrin Horn inserted four bench players five minutes into Friday night's season opener against Western Carolina, he told the players he wanted them to bring energy and motivate the starters.
That just so happens to be one of the things sophomore guard Brenton Williams does best. In last week's exhibition win over Kentucky Wesleyan, he chased a loose ball, crashed through the opposing bench and knocked over a table.
Horn saw more of the same Friday from Williams as the Gamecocks won, 75-50, pulling away after the game was tied at 16 with 9:26 left in the first half. Williams played 17 minutes, shot 5 of 8, scored 13 points and had five steals.
During one furious minute midway through the second half, he dove on the floor for a loose ball, resulting in a jump ball; leaped to steal a pass; then did the same on Western Carolina's next possession, as he glided down the floor with the stolen ball and dunked it to put USC up 51-33.
USC's highly regarded freshmen, power forward Anthony Gill and shooting guard Damien Leonard, received much attention leading up to the season. And Gill did lead the Gamecocks with 14 points. But the performance of Williams, who played at a junior college last year, underscored the importance of bench players contributing for the Gamecocks, who lack a proven offensive threat.
Horn needed bodies in the backcourt after Ramon Galloway transferred to La Salle and Bruce Ellington, last year's leading scorer, joined the football team, delaying the start of his basketball season this year. Horn liked what he saw from Williams, who averaged 11.8 during his limited junior college action.
"The thing that intrigued us about Brenton in the recruiting process is, as we saw tonight, he's freaky athletic," Horn said. "When you look at his numbers in a junior college season, he was incredibly efficient with how he scored and how he played. For the most part, we've seen that in practice. We saw that tonight. I don't know if it's going to be double figures (scoring) every night, but athletically, he's capable of coming in and helping."
Williams, who is 5-11, not only has a role as an energy provider, he also has a nickname: Bill. Teammates Eric Smith and Brian Richardson gave it to him a couple weeks ago, because they think he looks like the bald 5-year-old boy title character from "Little Bill," a children's cartoon television show created by Bill Cosby.
"I'm used to it now," Williams said of the nickname. "So it doesn't really bother me that much."
He wasn't used to playing major college basketball, though he showed Friday he could play a part in Horn rebuilding his team and moving past last season's 14-16 record, and 2-11 finish.
"I was a little bit nervous," he said. "Not as nervous as I was in the exhibition game. But my teammates, during warm-ups, they see me get a little quiet and they say, 'Don't worry about the bright lights.' "

Miller has yet to lose a game in regulation for St. Louis, and is making history with his outstanding play.
.@RyanMiller3039 is the first goalie in Blues history to record at least one point in each of his first eight starts (7-0-1). #stlblues
— St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) March 18, 2014
The deal for Miller and Steve Ott seemingly put the team over the top, as they haven't left the ice without at least a point since making the additions. That run of strong play has them sitting atop the NHL standings and the Central Division. The veteran goaltender hasn't simply been the beneficiary of St. Louis' strong offense. His individual stats with the team are on the ridiculous side.
Ryan Miller is now 7-0-1 with a 1.61 GAA and .933 SV% since joining the #stlblues
— Lou Korac (@lkorac10) March 18, 2014
Miller will take a loss as a Blue at some juncture, but right now the team is enjoying an awesome string of wins.

School of Nursing Purchases Gift for Kenyan School
Students and teachers at the Mbaka Oromo School in Maseno, Kenya, will be receiving seven treadle-style sewing machines to help them sustain supplies for The Petal Project started by the Wegmans School of Nursing in 2012.
During a mission trip in 2011, led by Visiting Assistant Professors Drs. Karen Parker and Vivian Cunningham, the Fisher group heard about a problem at the Kenyan school where young women were suffering through their menstrual cycles with no access to sanitary supplies. A teacher at the school told them that these young women were forced to trade their bodies in exchange for money in order to purchase those supplies.
Once they returned to Rochester, the group connected with other nursing students, faculty, and women in the surrounding Rochester community to collect sanitary supplies for the young women at the schools, and The Petal Project (formerly known as Project Pad) was born. The first 100 kits were delivered in February 2012, with an additional 100 delivered that April. Last January, another Fisher group traveling to Kenya distributed 140 kits to young girls in the school, and 80 kits to young women in the community.
Parker said that thanks, in part, to funds raised by the larger campus community, the teachers and students at Mbaka Oromo School will be able to sustain the supply of the reusable pads using their own machines, which will also be used to repair and sew new uniforms for the students. Dr. Vivian Cunningham, Visiting Assistant Professor, and her family even created an instructional video and posted it to YouTube showing how to sew the pads using the machine. Two rooms at the secondary school are being reconfigured and the machines will be housed/secured on site for teacher and student use.
"Our hope and vision for sustainability have always been for them to be able to make the reusable kits for themselves. The funds raised for the sewing machines, now a place for them to be housed and the 'how-to' video are steps toward that vision becoming a reality and we are very excited," said Parker.

We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to create and film a music video with comedian Doc Brown. The shoot was co-ordinated by our media tutor Mikis Michaelides with the helping hand from students in our Level 2 FusionTV class. The students helped to plan and build the set of the music video beforehand which included sawing sheets of MDF to create a make shift bedroom as well as arrange which props would be needed for the different shots. The common room was used throughout the whole day as a set for the video, props were brought in and walls set up in order to recreate a set similar to a living room fully equipped with an old looking sofa, television, lamp and posters. Lyrics to the song were written by Doc Brown himself but handed Mikis the job of composing and producing the soundtrack.
In regards to planning the video shoot, ex student Nathan Good prepared a detailed storyboard using adobe photoshop, depicting each scene with vivid sketches in order to have a solid plan to work with when filming. A schedule and shot list was devised to provide a tight schedule stating times and actions which was used as an agenda for the day. The shoot had to be completed quickly yet sufficiently as Doc had to make a prompt exit at around 16:00 to prepare for a show later that evening which left no room for mistakes. The shoot was a fantastic opportunity for learners to gain first hand experience with creating and planning a music video as well as working with an established industry professional.
There were around four varying visual effects that were used when producing the music video, each effect was listed and stated at which point in the song the effect would take place. For example: "The camera will be locked and we shoot doc in the different locations in the room. The centre shot will also be filmed against a partial green screen which allows us to overlap our shots; this is a multiple exposure typed technique."
Cold Fever, commonly known to colleagues and friends as Boom is a tutor for Music Production at DV8 Training. He grew up with a musical diet of reggae and jazz, also influenced by traditional Indian music which featured in old fashioned bollywood movies that he would watch alongside his grandmother. Growing up he was influenced by hip-hop artists such as J-Dilla and Jay-Z as well as electro-rock band Enter Shikari and heavy metal ensemble Slipknot.
With such diverse influences, he was bound to create a genre that was unique and paid homage to his cultural background, and so Desi-Reggae was born. He is currently spreading his time between teaching classes at DV8 and working on an album with Grammy award winning reggae singer Mykal Rose recreating songs from the Black Uhuru album.

Nashville Star contestant Shawn Mayer paid us a visit on Thursday 16th October to give an intimate performance to our level 2 and 3 Music Production and Performance students. Shawn performed a few of her own songs, and spoke about her inspiration when writing the lyrics; mainly inspired from a break up. Her song "The View" was written to describe a derelict house with a post box rusted shut; like her heart with descriptions about the old swing on the front porch in relation to how she felt her relationship was at the time. As well as a few of her own songs, she sang a cover of "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac, a band she had grown up listening to on an old cassette, or "8-track" as they are doted in the United States. Her performance was followed by a Q&A session with the students where Shawn stressed the importance of networking as an artist who wants to break into the industry. In the early stages of her career she would offer to play shows for free in small bars and friend's living rooms so that she could slowly distinguish herself as an artist until one day her friend tricked her into auditioning for a place on the singing show "Nashville Star".
DV8 Academy Principal Sacha Corcoran and staff were proud to officially launch the new DV8 Campus on Wednesday 8th October at Silver Birch House.
The evening was organised by our Event Management students who just two weeks into their first term, were responsible for making sure the evening was one to remember, for all of the right reasons.
After many hours of planning, assigning roles and ensuring the guest list was watertight, the Events team sprang into action to welcome guests from our governing body, Waltham Forest Council, our sponsors and Cllr Terry Wheeler (Mayor of Waltham Forest). Upon arrival, guests were split into small groups and taken on a grand tour around the building which was the perfect opportunity to show off the new training rooms and equipment.
Student host Joel McEwan kept the crowd entertained in between speeches from Governor Barnaby Collier, Sacha Corcoran MBE, Cllr Terry Wheeler (Mayor of Waltham Forest) and the three founding members of DV8 Training; Alexis Michaelides, Ben Jolly and Ian Morton. To celebrate, Mayor Terry Wheeler did the honours of cutting the DV8 cake followed by a toast and brisk round of applause. Once the speeches were over and everyone raised their glasses to our new building, guests filed downstairs where a buffet was served provided by My Big Fat Greek Caterers.
"DV8 has a great set of staff and an amazing set of students to really begin to make an impact on transforming lives." – Barnaby Collier
The atmosphere was electric; DV8 Campus was illuminated in our signature colours with the BBQ provided on full heat outside by reception. It was a fantastic night and great opportunity to showcase our new home and the talented students that we house. Thank you very much to all the guests who attended, there will be many more events to come from us in the future; watch this space!
Students in our enterprise class were put into groups and given a task to build the tallest tower using the limited resources they were given. The idea of the activity was to better their knowledge on Tuckman's stages of group development. The stages are as follows; Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. Tuckman proposed that each of these phases are all necessary in order for a team to grow, tackle problems, find solutions and plan work delivering exceptional results. Each group of students worked together, following the guidelines of this theory of group development in order to sufficiently work together and build a tower using spaghetti and marshmallows. The winners of the challenge was the Enterprise; Fashion, Dance and Music group, well done to Cresselle Jules, Miriam Karamoko, Rochette Valencia, Rakesha Booth and Priscilla Ibanichuka with a tower at 110cm. Each winner was presented with a £5.00 gift voucher presented by Sacha Corcoran, principle at DV8 Academy.
Students from our Level 2 Urban & Contemporary Dance class surprised us with a performance on a glum monday afternoon.
On Friday 26th September DV8 Academy and DV8 Training hosted a coffee and cake morning in order to help raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support; a charity devoted to helping people diagnosed with cancer as well as relatives and friends who have been affected by the disease. The event was organised and promoted by our Event Management students who distributed flyers to local residents and companies in the area. They were able to receive cake donations from a local bakery as well as the co-operative. Staff and students also contributed by bringing in a variety of cookies, cakes and pastries.
The event began with a talk from Sacha Corcoran, our principle at DV8 Academy to encourage students, staff and visitors to donate money to Macmillan emphasising the importance of the charity and how their donations can help to provide support for people who have been affected by cancer. During the cake sale, our Event management students auctioned some hand customised t-shirts created by our Fashion students. Bidding for the shirts and shoes started at £5.00, going up to £8.00 with all money being doubled by DV8 Academy and donated to Macmillan. The fundraising event also featured live performances from the students in our Level 3 Music Performance course. This was their first performance since the beginning of their course and was a great opportunity to showcase their talent. The stage hosted a number of diverse acts ranging from an acoustic version of "Everlong" by the Foo fighters to a hip hop trio rendition of TLC "no scrubs". From the money raised from the cake sale and fashion auction we made £160, which has been doubled by DV8 Academy to make a total of £320 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
On Monday 22nd September we opened the doors to our brand new building at Silver Birch House.
On September 20th, we had a helping hand from eleven young people from surrounding boroughs who have been working with us for NCS "The Challenge". The week before, the team were sent out to Walthamstow Central in order to promote who DV8 are, what we do and what exciting courses and apprenticeships we have to offer. However, in this case their time was not spent handing out flyers, instead they came to our new building at Silver Birch House to assist our staff with painting the walls in our building. The idea was to create something visually appealing to inspire our students to feed their creative side whilst studying. The campaign team dressed appropriately in overalls then split into groups to paint different walls with the DV8 colour scheme. Supervising the groups were Fusion, founder of "Industry in The Streets" (iitsfusion) Stewart, our music and media tutor as well as Sam Templa, a graffiti/customisation artist (@blingwearuk).
