No. 1 Rifle Wins 15th NCAA Title!
COLUMBUS, OHIO – The No. 1-ranked West Virginia University rifle team won its nation-best 15th national title today at Ohio State's French Field House with a two-day total of 4679.
The Mountaineers overcame a one-shot smallbore deficit and outshot the field in air rifle, scoring 2363. Senior Petra Zublasing was near-perfect, shooting 598 (99-100-100-100-100-99) in the second relay and 103.7 in the final to secure her second national title of the weekend, and the third of her career, with combined total of 701.7. The Appiano, Italy, native won the smallbore championship yesterday with a 688.3 score. Zublasing is the first shooter to win both NCAA titles at one championship since Alaska-Fairbanks' Matthew Emmons took the victories in 2001.
"It's a great feeling to win. I'm so happy for the team members, all of the parents and our supporters," says seventh-year coach Jon Hammond. "It's been a long year, and a tough couple of days here, but I'm so proud of this team and delighted at this fantastic result for us.
"They all may have had their own struggles this weekend, but each one of these shooters shot to the best of his capabilities this weekend. We just shot the best today, and that's what helped us win."
"Winning an individual title in both guns is just great, but I'm most happy that the team won," says Zublasing. "This team worked so hard over the last two seasons, and we finally earned our award. I'm really excited to leave WVU with these wins."
"Petra was our difference maker today," adds Hammond. "She is our team leader. The other teams' leaders all struggled a bit today, but Petra did not. It's incredible for her to win both individual titles this weekend and the team championship. So many records and so much history at WVU, and she's really left her mark on the program."
The Mountaineers' victory is their first since winning the 2009 title. The team is the only WVU program to ever win a national championship. Today's title is the second career for Hammond.
"I think 15 is our number right now, and until that number changes, it's the only number we'll think about," says Hammond of the team's possibility to defend its title in 2014. "The core of the team comes back next year. Petra is a tough shooter to lose, but we'll still have that depth that we had this year. Hopefully, the great experiences of this weekend will help everyone get better next year."
WVU's winning aggregate score is the second-highest in NCAA history; Kentucky won the 2011 title with a 4700.
The No. 2 Wildcats finished second overall with an aggregate total of 4670. UK, the only team to defeat WVU this season, also finished second in air rifle with a 2355 score. No. 3 TCU, the defending national champions, placed third with a 4664 score; the Horned Frogs won smallbore yesterday with a 2317 total.
Zublasing is the second WVU student-athlete to win three career national titles, as wrestler Greg Jones earned a trio of titles in 2002, 2004 and 2005. She is the fourth Mountaineer to win two career air titles, and the first since Trevor Gathman finished first in 1993 and 1996. A WVU shooter has now won the NCAA air rifle championship each season since 2011.
With her two wins this weekend, Zublasing, the Mountaineers' 16th rifle national champion, brings WVU's individual title count to 22.
Sophomore Maren Prediger also shot in today's air rifle final and finished eighth overall with a 692.1 score. The Petersaurach, Germany, native shot a relay-best 591 (96-100-99-100-99-97) in the day's first competition and 101.1 in the final.
Freshman Garrett Spurgeon and sophomore Meelis Kiisk gave the Mountaineers a solid lead in the first air rifle relay, as they shot 589 and 585, respectively. Combined with Prediger's 591 relay mark, WVU owned a seven-shot advantage before Zublasing and sophomore Taylor Ciotola took to the line for the second relay. Ciotola finished the day with a 576 mark.
WVU placed third in smallbore yesterday with a 2316 score.
The Mountaineers, the four-time reigning Great American Rifle Conference (GARC) champions, finished the 2012-13 campaign with an 11-1 overall record and a 5-1 conference mark.
National Rifle Association (NRA) All-America honors will be awarded later this weekend.

iCONN is authorized and funded by the Connecticut State Legislature at
a cost of approximately two million dollars per year. If every library,
school and college were to purchase the same databases on their own, the
aggregate cost would exceed thirty-five million dollars per year.
But what does this really mean at the local
This site documents what individual libraries are saying about the
impact iCONN is having on their budgets in the form of cost savings,
cost avoidance, or the ability to access valuable information resources
that would otherwise have been unavailable due to budget limitations.
If you would like to add your comments, please send them to:
email@example.com. Comments may be edited for brevity or clarity.
Thank you for your assistance.
From Lynn Fontana, Team Leader, Trumbull High School:
Our students and teachers use ICONN regularly. The school saves more
than $7,000 yearly b/c we have this site. For the state to cut now after
schools have become dependent, is a horrible injustice. Education is
supposed to be very important in this state!
Suzanne M. Risley, Director of Library Services, Mitchell College:
Mitchell is a small private institution, with a student enrollment of
approximately 650 FTE. We are tuition driven, and anyone who works
under similar circumstances knows the uncertainty of this situation.
Our resources are quite limited, yet Mitchell is successfully moving
forward to establish itself as a four-year college, having added seven
new baccalaureate programs within the last five years. We face the
substantial challenge of supporting this exciting new initiative through
the delivery of exemplary library services. Our students have the same
information needs as undergraduates in larger institutions, and I simply
do not know how we would cover all the bases if the Connecticut Digital
Library lost its funding. What particularly distinguishes this
wonderful service in my own mind is that it truly levels the playing
field. Its existence assures equal access to information for
institutions both large and small, whether public or private. The
Connecticut Digital Library is a standard-bearer for information equity.
From Charles M. Getchell, Jr., University Library Director, Quinnipiac
Recently, our professional staff reviewed the roster of Tier II
databases provided to us by iCONN. As we prepared our budget request
for the 2003--2004 fiscal year, we were aware of the financial
difficulties faced by the state government and the difficult tasks that
lay ahead for the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the State
Legislature during their budget process. It remains our hope that the
iCONN project will be funded at 100% of the governor's budget (released
recently), and that more funds will be appropriated in the coming years
so that this invaluable collaborative effort will not only prevail in
its present state but grow in the years ahead.
If iConn were to cease to exist, we would need to identify
approximately $77,000 to re-subscribe to lost databases. The rich,
diverse coverage of the Tier II products--from ProQuest/ABI-Inform
(business) to PsycINFO (liberal arts) to LexisNexis Academic Universe
(all Quinnipiac schools) is a bedrock of research and information at
this institution. We need every product provided though iCONN's Tier II
as well as some of specialized products provided through the Gale suite
of products, and any shrinking of the state's electronic library would
have a most deleterious impact on our library and our community. Forced
redeployment of our budget would reduce or terminate other important
initiatives and purchases for our collections.
Beyond the immediate financial value for Quinnipiac, we believe that
iCONN has had a significant impact on libraries and library users
throughout Connecticut. In serving their respective constituencies and
striving to improve life long learning, college, university, public, and
school libraries have common bonds and goals. We all utilize the iCONN
resources--be they Tier I or Tier II--to help further education in the
state of Connecticut.
Judy Lhamon, Acting Head of Reference and SCORE Manager, Silas Bronson
Library (Waterbury):
Because of our dire budget situation, the library has had to cancel
dozens of subscriptions to popular magazines and professional journals.
Among those are:
The good news is that articles from many of these magazines,
newspapers, and journals are available in Full Text from the Connecticut
Digital Library, www.iconn.org. They can be accessed from any computer
hooked up to the Internet. Librarians and patrons use iconn.org/CT
Digital Library here all of the time. The lack of this resource would
be nothing short of a catastrophe to this library. As the Connecticut
Digital Library is funded by the State of Connecticut, we urge all users
happy with this critical resource to let their state representatives
know how important it is to all residents of CT, and especially to
patrons of underfunded libraries like SBL, to maintain or even expand
resources available on CT Digital Library.
From Michael A. Golrick, City Librarian, Bridgeport Public Library:
The iConn databases are great! We are promoting them to our local
appointed and elected officials, and have started a library card
campaign in the schools.
We recently calculated that the state offering these databases saves
Bridgeport Public Library over $40,000 PER YEAR! This is equal to more
than 10% of our annual materials budget. It is an incredible savings
us which lets us purchase more books and other materials for City
Thanks for all of your efforts.
From Judy Eisenberg, Electronic Services Librarian, West Hartford
Public Library:
The iCONN databases have significantly increased the scope and depth
of our online collection. They have also saved us a considerable
amount of money. Last year, we were planning to subscribe to Gale's
Health Resource Center and Wilson's Biography Center but because these
titles were provided by iCONN we were able to save over $7500. This
savings allowed us to subscribe to additional online databases that were
formerly beyond our reach.
The hypertext links between Infotrac Onefile and the Request Serials
Catalog are another less obvious iCONN benefit. Using this feature
dramatically increased the scope of our serials collection. Now when
customers ask whether our library subscribes to a particular magazine
journal, we not only check our own holdings list but the Request
Catalog as well.
We depend upon the iCONN programs. They are an essential addition to
our Library's services.
From Karen Bowles (Director, Stratford Library Association):
The savings to the Stratford Library Association this year was $17,100
in subscription fees. We were able to drop our subcriptions to Ebsco,
Electric Library, and SIRS, as the resources provided by iCONN compensated/replaced
those databases. I think that's WONDERFUL!

(By Kira Catanzaro) A rare bird flies about her nest in a flurry of activity. She twists wire, builds frames and creates posters in preparation for her next gallery opening. Her hatchery is a live/work studio hidden in a tropical jungle of bamboo, palm and eucalyptus off of Grove Street.
Jonqui Albin is an enthusiastic and innovative artist with a lifetime of experience. She has worked as a conceptual artist in various mediums and multimedia technologies. She is a published illustrator, designer and storyboard artist. She is a teacher, motivational presenter and a performance artist. Now, she is Sonoma's wild bird activist/artist.
When Jonqui began studying and sketching birds in preparation for a private commission of a wire bird sculpture to hang in a two-storey stairwell, she had no idea her efforts would become a multi-faceted enterprise to raise awareness and activate public involvement in wild bird preservation: Birdarting.
"I became interested in birds without noticing it," Jonqui said. "And I look like a bird," she laughs, shaking her shock of unmistakable red hair, lifting her elbows and unfurling her arms like wings.
Jonqui's bird studies and habitat sketching reveal birds' social and physical structures, and provide a chance for a soul connection to wild birds'spirits. These studies are the source of vitality in her images and in her Wild Wire Birds, which she creates using a self-invented meshing method.
She hosts monthly birding sketchbook hikes at various locations from San Francisco and Sacramento to Marin and Sonoma Counties. Local marshes and lagoons are full of waterfowl: redwings, swifts, swans, white pelicans and hawks. Beach trips also provide active subjects. She focuses on birds with lots of personality, like ravens, brown pelicans and cranes.
Jonqui recently completed a 23-week docent-training program at Bouverie Preserve in Glen Ellen. Working with various bird preservation organizations, like Santa Rosa Bird Rescue Center and California Foundation for Birds of Prey (CFBP) she has also learned about the dangers wild birds face. Their habitats are being altered by catastrophes like oil slicks and through climate change. Some species aren't adapting, making timely migrations, and their feet are freezing. Birds also suffer many injuries, especially in their first year of life.
"They're like teenagers driving fast cars. They have incredible speed and no judgment. They crash, and get hit by cars, too," said Jonqui.
Jonqui raises awareness about these bird preservation issues through live bird events, classes and exhibits throughout Sonoma County. (She donates 10 percent of her proceeds to preservation organizations.) Recently, she did an exhibit of live performance painting at Armstrong Redwood's Art in the Park, where she captured large-scale (5' x 9') paintings of a red-tailed hawk, demonstrating the possibilities of working with active models in nature. Her wire sculpture, "Hawk Catching the Wind" just won First Place in the juried art show at Railroad Square's Wine and Swine event. She was also the featured artist at the Upstairs Gallery in Healdsburg for the month of July.
The bird artist/activist is about to open a very special exhibit, Raptors Live Art, at Chroma Gallery in Santa Rosa's SOFA district. Her Wild Wire Birds, large-scale narrative bird paintings and drawings will be on display from August 23 through September 20.
The gallery will also host Jonqui's live-bird drawing and wire sculpting classes as well as a wire sculpting demonstration at SOFA's First Friday and a performance by the artist at the closing party on September 20.
Jonqui's work can be seen closer to home at Studio 35 Gallery on Patten Street. They will host a series of Bird Arting Classes in September, and she will be a featured artist on October 3, from 6 to 8 p.m., at their weekly Friday Night Meet the Artists Party, so you can meet her in person. For a full schedule of events visit birdarting.com.
"I'm a lifetime artist and I want to do something with purpose and meaning," said Jonqui, "that's not 'for the birds.'"

WATERLOO, IL (KTVI) – Funeral services were held Friday for three hikers who died of exposure last weekend in Reynolds County. David Decareaux, 36, and his sons Dominic, 10, and Grant, 8, got lost on the Ozark Trail Saturday.
Their hike started in warm weather but when rain and cold set in, they were stuck outside and died from hypothermia.
The funeral was at 9:30 a.m. at the Quernheim Funeral Home in Waterloo, IL. Decareaux and his sons were buried at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.
As an expression of sympathy, the family prefers memorial contributions to: Decareaux Family Fund c/o 1st National Bank P.O. Box 507 Waterloo, IL or St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

Stokes Croft is the name of a road and area in Bristol, England. The road forms part of the A38 that leads north from the city centre, before it takes the names Cheltenham Road and then Gloucester Road. It forms the boundary between the districts of Kingsdown and St Paul's and comes under the BS1 postcode.
The name Stokes Croft has also come to refer to an area around the road as an informal district encompassing Jamaica Street, the junction of Picton Street and Ashley Road, and the southern part of Cheltenham Road. The area is a centre of art, music and independent shops in Bristol, with clubs such as the Croft, Lakota and Blue Mountain; the nearby music college BIMM Bristol on King Square; and numerous pieces of graffiti art. The area's character has given rise to a group of activists and artists calling themselves The People's Republic of Stokes Croft (PRSC), who are seeking to revitalise the area through community action and public art.[1]
It takes its name from John Stokes, a medieval inhabitant of Bristol who was mayor of the city in the late 14th century.[2]
The abandoned building still known as Perry's Carriage Works was built in 1850 and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.[3] Slightly later, in 1861, the City Road Baptist Church was built.[4]
Today the area is notorious for derelict housing.
In 2006 a Heritage Lottery Fund grant was obtained by Bristol City Council to help overturn the decline in economic activity and environmental quality and a rise in social problems seen in the area since the 1970s.[5]
At the junction of Stokes Croft and Jamaica Street is a large mural,"The Mild Mild West", painted some time in the 1990s by Banksy. It depicts a teddybear lobbing a Molotov cocktail at three riot police.[6] In 2007 the mural was voted Alternative Landmark of Bristol.[7]
The landscape is much changed over the past few years, with many more students moving in and a new wave of young media professionals frequenting the bars and coffee shops this road is starting to see a change of use and an increase in commercial activity and small enterprise.
Major building work has taken place recently and this part of Bristol is now a popular and exciting place to visit.
The Stokes Croft Telepathic Heights Riot, April 2011[edit]
Despite a campaign against the opening of a new 'Tesco Express' store at 138-142 Cheltenham Road spearheaded by the group, ' No Tesco In Stokes Croft',[8] the new store opened on 15 April 2011. In anticipation of demonstrations Tesco had put in place additional security measures.[9] Various protests took place outside and inside the store during the seven days after its low-key opening. Although most protesters were peaceful, a minority threw paint and urinated on the shopfront.[10]
On 21 April the police evicted squatters from a property opposite the store (known as 'Telepathic Heights'). This action led to a riot involving several people and lasting for much of the night, during which the shop-front of the Tesco Store was damaged and some looting took place.[11] Further confrontations between police and protesters occurred in the early hours of 29 April.

Report: San Antonio school dropout rate at 35%
Communities in Schools' dropout prevention programs key to success for at-risk students
SAN ANTONIO - Communities In Schools runs a program that teams at-risk students with mentors to help those kids make it to graduation day.
Next week, most San Antonio schools will open for another year of classes, but roughly 9,500 students won't make it to the end of the year. That's because the city's dropout rate is at a staggering 35 percent.
The good news, there are programs -- like the Communities in Schools program -- in place to help students graduate.
Recent Jefferson High School graduate Jonathan Delgado said he could have easily dropped out of school and become another statistic but he decided to stick it out and get his diploma, thanks to help from the CIS program.
"It helped me to figure out who I am, who I wanted to become, where I wanted to be in life. Basically what kind of person I wanted to be," Delgado said.
Growing up with a drug-addicted father and a mother battling depression, Delgado had plenty of obstacles to overcome when he was teamed up with mentor Kimberlee Morrison.
"He was doing wonderful, he just needed a little guidance as far as direction in where to go for college and how to get there and making sure he got to graduation," Morrison said.
Morrison began working with Delgado during his sophomore year, serving as his sounding board and guidance counselor to help him overcome the obstacles in his life.
"He really had the fire and desire to share with other students," Morrison said. "By his senior year, he was helping other students to recognize their own potential and recognize their goals."
Delgado is now preparing for his first semester at college. This week, he starts at Texas A&M Kingsville, where he plans to study criminology.
He also hopes to help keep other kids, including his younger sisters, on the right path.
"You can give a person the tools to build a house but it's to them whether or not they want to build their house," Delgado said.
Communities In Schools is funded by a partnership with P&G. Now in its second year, P&G's Give Education program is hoping to raise over $500,000 for dropout prevention programs.
When you purchase $25 worth of select P&G products, you will get a $5 rebate in the mail and P&G will give CIS $5.
You can also help fund the program by simply visiting the P&G Give Facebook page and hitting the "Like" button. P&G will donate $1 for every "Like" up to $10,000.

WASHINGTON, March 22, 2007 Medal of Honor recipients are heroes, despite their many humble objections to the label, and are important to the fabric of our society, Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England told those gathered yesterday to celebrate the official naming of March 25 as National Medal of Honor Day.
Medal of Honor recipients and their families, politicians, senior military members and others packed the historic caucus room in the Russell Senate Office Building to honor those wearing the nation's highest military award for bravery.
Congress this month designated March 25 each year as National Medal of Honor Day. The day is significant as the day the first Medal of Honor was presented in 1863.
At last night's ceremony, England highlighted the importance of the honor and its recipients to the nation and its military.
"Heroes are important. They are important to our military. But they are also important to every citizen and to every person in the world who enjoys and yearns for freedom and liberty," England said.
"Heroes set standards for the rest of us to aspire to. And by their example they encourage others to excel," he said.
England also recognized at the ceremony the two most recent recipients of the award, Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham and Army Sgt. 1st Class Paul Smith, both recognized posthumously for bravery in the war in Iraq.
"They are an example of this generation of Americans who volunteer to serve and who serve today in sacrifice for all of us," England said. "In performing these acts, the recipients have demonstrated resolve, commitment, determination, will and raw courage to prevail. Those qualities are the underpinning of our nation."
England read a letter from President Bush to the group. In the letter, Bush said the country owes Medal of Honor recipients a debt for their service and, for many, the ultimate sacrifice of their lives.
"Our country is in debt to these great warriors and that debt is one that we can never fully pay," Bush wrote. "The courage and leadership of the men and women who are honored on this day represent the highest ideals in military service and each of them has set a fine example of what it means to be a fine American."
Retired Army Command Sgt. Maj. and Medal of Honor recipient Gary L. Littrell took the podium following the evening's longest ovation for a speaker.
Littrell said that during the past two years he has visited troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. He said that such visits help him appreciate the freedom we have in America.
"When we get complacent -- which I do quite often, and I forget the freedom that we have -- all you have to do is visit a third-world country, and how quickly will you appreciate what the young men and women in uniform are doing for the freedoms that we have today," he said.
Littrell said that during his visits he likes to ask the servicemembers if they know why they are serving and fighting.
"I get a stern look," he said.
"They look at me and they say, 'Sergeant Major, I am here because I am fighting this global war on terrorism on their land and in their country to keep them from bringing it back to ours,'" Littrell said.
Littrell said he views National Medal of Honor Day as a call to action for its living recipients to help perpetuate the purpose of the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation.
"I do not view 25 March for the years to come as a day to honor 'we' the Medal of Honor recipients," he said. "I view the 25th of March as a day that we the Medal of Honor recipients can give back to our youth."
Littrell said he plans to spend the day each year speaking to groups such as the Boy or Girl Scouts, or at schools.
"Let's educate our youth. Let's give to our kids -- the future leaders of this great nation," Littrell said.
Littrell is the current president of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. Littrell was a sergeant first class in Vietnam in 1970 when his actions earned him the Medal of Honor.
Since 1863, 3,444 servicemembers have received the nation's highest military honor for courage under fire.
There are 112 recipients living today.

Indeed, judging by the pictures over at the BirdAbroad blog, where the author found what at first glance looked like a genuine Apple Store in the far-off Chinese city of Kunming, far far away from the genuine Apple stores in Beijing and Shanghai.
Poorly painted walls and badly finished staircases gave the game away, as did the words 'Apple Store' above the well-known Apple logo, being three simple things that Apple never does.
Amazingly, within a few minutes walk of this store are TWO more fake stores, with one even having the words 'Apple Stoer' listed in that typical Chinese style, where the person putting up the sign clearly speaks zero English or they'd not have made such an elementary and 'give-the-game-away' mistake.
While the store appears to have genuine iPad 2 models, MacBook Pros, iPhone 4 models, a wall of accessories and more, right down to blue T-Shirt wearing staff members, the BirdAbroad blogger couldn't actually tell whether the products on display were genuine, or not.
I mean, we're dealing with China here. The systems could have fallen off the back of a truck, they could have been surplus stocks made without Apple's knowledge, they could be PCs hacked to run Mac OS X, they could be anything - even 'genuine'.
After all, the Kunming guys are supposed to be resellers - they may be doing just that, but doing it in a store that simply rips off Apple's official stores, safe in the knowledge that they're deep in Chinese territory, far, far away from Apple's US lawyers.
Then there's the staff themselves. Apparently, they genuinely believe they're working for Apple itself, even though Apple does not list any Chinese stores in Kunming on its website.
Continued on page two, please read on, where you'll see a story I wrote in 2006 still looks to be very, very valid today!

Duluth's first homicide case of the year has resulted in another arrest of man who allegedly helped the suspect.
Duluth Police Public Information Officer Jim Hansen said the boyfriend to the suspect's mother was booked in jail on Friday on charges of aiding an offender by obstructing an investigation.
The 33-year-old Duluth man has not actually been charged in court yet. That's expected to happen through St. Louis County sometime early next week.
Police believe the man was not at the home when the murder of 27-year-old Bryan Starnes took place in his Lincoln Park home on March 9. However, police believe the man did allegedly sell items stolen by the murder suspect from the home.
The suspect, 17-year-old Enrique Giner, has been charged with second degree murder. He allegedly sold a Playstation 3 and a hookah pipe from Starnes' home. The man arrested on Friday, his mother's boyfriend, is accused of selling those items, profiting from the theft, lying to police and withholding information.
Officer Hansen said police still consider this investigation to be active.

Charity space hop around Newcastle in memory of loved ones
Posted: August 12, 2014|
BOUNCE: Two men who jumped around Newcastle on a space hopper had to cut the charity venture short because of bad weather.
Gaz Mayer and Mick Colclough joined forces for the three-mile space hop on Sunday for cancer charities.
Thirty-four-year-old Gaz, of Tulip Grove in Newcastle, was fundraising for cancer research in memory of his mum Ceinwen, while Nick took part in tribute to his dad Paul.
Nick said: "We pushed ourselves so hard but we had to admit defeat in the end. We are absolutely gutted so we are planning to do it again."

The Body ShopRead Morefacet: Main type: Traditional locale: en_US title: The Body Shop facet_type_id: 0b209580-57fd-1032-adcf-ebfb5f957af2 html_text: |- To call The Body Shop a mere skin and body care store is to miss half of what makes it special. Late founder Dame Anita Roddick was a pioneer for ethical business practices; upon opening her first store in Brighton, England, in 1976, she developed company values such as "Defend Human Rights" and "Protect The Planet." She somehow balanced principles and profit, partnering in global campaigns with UNICEF, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, all while ultimately expanding her brand into 2,500 locations in over 60 international markets. After her death in 2007, then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, "She campaigned for green issues for many years before it became fashionable to do so and inspired millions to the cause by bringing sustainable products to a mass market. . . . She was an inspiration." Indeed, the Body Shop exhibits an eco-friendliness and social consciousness that's hard to come by in a company of its size. Its products have been fair-trade since 1987, and its Against Animal Testing movement led to an EU-wide ban of animal testing of cosmetics. The products are made from ingredients harvested from around the world: shea butter from Ghana goes into body scrubs and butters, and Indian artisans craft wooden massagers and tote bags that are screenprinted by hand. But all that isn't to say the company's production practices overshadow its final products. Skincare treatments such as the brand's iconic body butters, facial products, and gift collections often appear in Allure, Marie Claire, Lucky, Seventeen and other national publications.6801 Northlake Mall Dr.Charlotte, NC US
Caroline Calouche & Co.Read MoreMany dance companies approach ballet from a modern angle. Caroline Calouche prefers a more perpendicular one. When the stage is not enough space for her visions of macabre masquerade balls or surreal dreamscapes, she takes to the air above it, outfitted with a cirque's worth of aerial harnesses and accouterments. Her dancers are just as likely to pirouette down a 20-foot skein of golden silk as across a hardwood floor. Pairs of lovers might hang precariously from the frame of a hollow cube or perform a gravity-defying pas de deux on the double lyra—their suspension above the earth either an expression of freedom or a prison of their own making. Like identifying an elderly smoker's gender over the phone, the airborne element leaves plenty of room for interpretation. By marrying the storytelling ability of floor-bound choreography with the gravity-defying tricks of circus arts, Caroline Calouche & Co. unleashes the full potential of aerial dance. The company's productions are free to venture to strange new places. For example, in past shows, women have risen from their graves to haunt their murderous husbands.

Usain Bolt would be able to fly – if we could get him to Saturn!
Posted: March 06, 2014|
Physics students have concocted a bizarre theoretical experiment involving one of Saturn's moons, a wingsuit and the world's fastest man – Usain Bolt.
The University of Leicester undergraduates have calculated that record-breaking Bolt could fly like a bird if it was possible to transport him more than one billion kilometres to Titan and strap him into a skydiving wingsuit.
It shows that the Jamaican sprinter would be one of a handful of humans fast enough to reach the speed needed for take off on the low-gravity moon.
Flapping his arms like a giant bird, the wingsuit would allow Bolt to generate enough lift to carry him into the sky and soar majestically through the air.
The surreal theory has been postulated before, but the Leicester students are the first to apply the science.
The work is part of their final year paper for the Journal of Physics Special Topics – a peer-reviewed student journal run by the university's Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Student Hannah Lerman, 21, said: "I had seen a lot of claims online that humans would be able to fly on Titan, but no one had given the physics behind it.
"I thought it would be interesting to try it with a wingsuit – something that you actually use on Earth.
"It is a really exciting idea that someone such as Usain Bolt could actually fly unaided. It would give a whole new dimension to travelling. I am really interested in the journal side of science, and it was fascinating to see how that was run as part of this module."
Titan is Saturn's largest moon and has a dense, nitrogen-rich atmosphere with a surface pressure almost 50 per cent stronger than Earth's.
As a result, it has long been predicted that humans would be able to lift off into the moon's atmosphere if they were wearing wing-type devices on their arms.
But now, the students have shown that it would even be possible with a regular wingsuit used by skydivers here on Earth – provided you could get a fast enough run- up.
To calculate the speed needed, the group factored in:
The density of air on the surface of Titan.
The acceleration due to gravity.
An average wingsuit wing area (about 1.4 metres squared).
The ratio of the streamline path of the air above the aerofoil to that below the aerofoil.
They found that, for a normal-sized wingsuit, a run-up speed of 11 metres a second would be required.
That would be no problem for Bolt, who has gone faster than 12 metres a second.
Course tutor Dr Mervyn Roy, a lecturer in the University of Leicester's Department of Physics and Astronomy, said: "The aim is for the students to learn about peer review and scientific publishing.
"They are encouraged to be imaginative with their topics and find ways to apply basic physics to the weird, the wonderful and the everyday."

Tactical Event in Australia, Mogadishu Wrap up
The City of Mogadishu has been under control of the Somalian Freedom Force for two weeks, civilian casualties are high. They have control of 5 mission critical hard drives. Joint coalition forces have assembled 3 Special Forces units. The Australian SASR, US Navy Seal Team Six, and the British Special Boat Service (SBS).
The day started off well, and late as every paintball event does. In total we had 96 players from all over Australia come out for the event, even Domenic Annable from Townsville made it down! The Somalian team consisted of the tournament Team, X-Fighters, Ex Swat Players, and many more, they had around 40 players with one mission, hold off the Attacking forces for 2 games, and protect the 5 Hard Drives. With great leadership from Edda Henry, Souse Khoury, and John Caruana, they managed to do just that.
The SBS team was made up mostly of Fireball Paintball players (the Cult) and Action Paintball Supervisors. The had the hard task of Assaulting the city of Mogadishu from the bottom of the hill. They didn't fair to well in the first game, but the second they managed to secure hard drives for an extra 30 points.
The SASR team was made up of mostly IYAYOAS members, with members of the Australian Defense Force as well. They had game plans, radios and the most difficult start point. The start point was deep in the bush, far away from the Mogadishu City, so it was very impressive the amount of kills and ground they took.
Here is how the day Panned Out: UK SBS total Points 255 – 2 Hard Drives Captured, 4 Assassinations, Somalia 281 – Over 200 Kills, and multiple Leader Assassinations Seals 217 - 1 Assassination SASR 209 – 2 Hard Drives Captured
The Somalian team ended up on top by simply shooting a lot of people! The defense held strong.
Special thanks to Devon Stutz of Dye Asia for the support of our scenario events! Best Dressed – Luke "Edda" Henry – Wins 1 Box of Killer Psycho "Blood" Paintballs
After the day, it looked like everyone had an awesome time, and everyone also looked incredibly tired after combat. Thanks alot to all the staff at Action Paintball for working hard to make it happen, and as well to Sydney SWAT, without you guys it could not have went down. Stay tuned for info on Operation: Etha Dec 2011

For four weeks BYU volleyball fans had to do without Taylor Sander, and last week he made up for lost time. The Sander Factor proved to be more than Pepperdine could handle with his 21 kills, four blocks and four digs. Tonight we'll see if his healed hand can handle the #11 Pacific Tigers.
Sander broke his hand in practice on January 27, prior to the back-to-back losses BYU suffered to Stanford in early February. Doctors estimated the injury would keep him out four to seven weeks. Fast-forward four weeks and I wonder if his hand was even broken in the first place. If that's what a broken hand does for your game we should break them more often! With just one practice under his belt, the man was incredible.
Every high-flying kill and thunderous block he delivered gave fans something to scream about. And like any great athlete, his presence seemed to intimidate the opposing team. With Sander on the court, BYU was back in sync. The perfectly aged T-bone steak that is BYU volleyball was missing something when he was injured, and Sander came as the perfect touch of seasoning for the fans to devour. He has a tenacity and force that they have just come to expect.
Watch the BYU men's volleyball team battle the Pacific Tigers on Friday and Saturday at 9pm ET/7pm MT on BYUtv.

Burton volunteers given a pat on the back for their work
Posted: June 19, 2013|
PEOPLE who give up their free time to help those in need at Burton's Queen's Hospital have been honoured.
Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust's longest-serving volunteers were rewarded at its annual volunteers long service awards, held at Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium.
Almost 40 volunteers were recognised for achieving five, 10, 15, 20 and 30 years service.
Among those celebrated was Margaret Maskrey who, after battling breast cancer herself, helps out at the breast care unit at the Belvedere Road site to aid others who are battling the disease.
Hosting the event was chairman Chris Wood who paid a personal tribute to each of the 39 volunteers.
Trust chief executive, Helen Ashley, said: "Our volunteers come from a wide array of backgrounds and bring a diverse range of skills.
"The contribution they make, both front of house and behind the scenes, is enormous and plays a significant role in delivering the caring and professional experience we strive to offer our patients.
"We owe a great deal to these individuals who, through their time and dedication, make our patients stay in hospital that little bit more pleasant and comfortable."
Beatrice Nam was also praised for her five years of volunteering.
The retired nurse, who worked on the Geoffrey Hodges Wards, Bretby Orthopaedic Hospital and Etwall Convalescent Hospital, volunteers by coming in early at 8m to help serve breakfast to the patients.
Michael Brotherton, who has helped out for 20 years, has been a regular voice heard booming out of the Phoenix Hospital Radio station.
Bill Spratt was honoured for 30 years service at the hospital including work with Burton Hospital League of Friends.
