Nashville's Shawn Renegarbe took medalist honors with a 71, while Eldorado's Ashton Goodley finished second overall with a 74. Taylor Goodley finished third overall with a 76.
Taylor Aldridge carded a 95 for the Eagles, while Sam Mings finished with a 99. Reagan Gray finished with a 102 and Jaclyn Artman had a 114.

|IDS Pro Shot Roller Hockey Pucks
Lowest Price Guarantee
The IDS Pro Shot roller hockey puck has a solid, fast feel and comes in several colors. Great for indoor and smooth outdoor play.
- PVC body with Teflon pegs
- Harder durometer and stiffer feel than average
- Solid, fast feel
- Center weighted to minimize rolling
- Ideal for indoor play, but may be used on smooth outdoor surfaces
- With replaceable glide pins available the IDS puck has increased longevity
- Recommend use for 60° and above
- Weight- 3.6 oz.
Comments: Great overall puck for both indoor and outdoor play. The fact that the glide pins are replaceable was a big plus for me as I mostly play in an outdoor rink. The first experience I had with it was good, although it did roll up more than other pucks I've used. This is probably due to the rounded edges on the puck, but as the pins wore down it stays flat more often than not. I like the size and feel of it, not too flat so it's easy to handle. Overall a great purchase for any sort of application, indoor or outdoor.
From: Ben, CA
Comments: This puck is amazing it's like sliding a puck on the ice. It rarely will bounce or go low on your shots unless you try to make it go low In my words ITS AMAZING!!!
From: William, Chantilly, VA
Comments: This is a great puck. Good movement on indoor surfaces, durable, and easy to handle. Great movement when shooting too! Overall a really good option for an afternoon of indoor inline hockey.
From: Dustin, West Lafayette, IN
Comments: Definitely one of the more durable and better gliding roller pucks out there but I found out this winter that they do NOT do well in cold weather. And by cold I mean only 30-40 degrees or so. I play at a covered outdoor rink. A few solid posts and lower boards and these pucks will shatter due to the small amount of plastic between the outer edge and the pegs. If you play in colder weather I recommend the models from Mission or Franklin. A little heavier but much more durable.
From: Gary, Duluth, GA
Comments: Honestly, the only puck to get. The others out there pale in comparison. It's not meant for asphalt or concrete, but it excels on sport court. It's the ONLY puck I buy. (Plus, if any of the white little plastic studs pops out, you can buy a 16-pack of replacements for like 2 bucks
From: Scott, Savannah, GA
Comments: On painted concrete you may get 5 to 10 games out of it as the pegs wear down really fast. Great for sport court though.
From: Harry, PA
Comments: this puck is amazing from what I've seen so far. My friends and I have always played on tennis courts, and we have always used a ball. any other puck we have ever used always bounces all over the place or doesn't glide more than 10 feet. this puck is what we have been looking for. stays flat even after putting sauce on it. rang it over the cross bar plenty of times and still going strong. highly recommend it.
From: Luke
Comments: I've been using this along with the Green Biscuit to practice off the ice in the summer weather. This puck has been great so far, but it flips over too much on pavement, just as an actual puck would. Overall, this is a nice puck and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to practice outside.
From: Larry, GA
Comments: Have used these pucks since i was a young pup! Only puck we use in my leagues.
From: Brandon, TX
Comments: Basic, standard puck. Nothing to complain about. Prefer the rocket puck, but never complain about the IDS
From: Nick, CA
Comments: This puck is a little lighter than a standard puck (4oz compared to 6oz) so it is a little different, but the feel is pretty similar to a rubber puck. You can only really use this puck on a very smooth surface or it will jump all over the place -- those claiming you can use this on asphault must have some pretty smooth driveways. The friction coefficient is not as good as some other roller pucks I have used, and so it takes a bit more getting used to. Also, something nobody has pointed out yet is the fact that the sides of the puck are made of a rubberized plastic, so that your stick will grip it better. However, this means the puck will roll more, so I prefer the solid plasic pucks over this one. Overall, a good puck, but I do not prefer it when compared to other, more reasonably priced ones.
From: Joe, Pennsylvania
Comments: Nice puck that slides well in the smooth surface of my garage where I use it for stick and shooting practice. Has a good feel that's close to a normal puck and handles similarly. The sliding pins have held up well and I haven't had to replace them yet. Has held up to plenty of slappers and hits against he wall with out chipping or breaking. A solid puck
From: Steve
Comments: This puck is great! We use it in our roller hockey league and just bought one to practice in my garage! Great product... works on many surfaces.
From: Glenn
Comments: do not use them when the weather is cold , if not they break easily, we use them since 3 years, the best puck for us in normal condition
From: Eric, Paris (France)
Comments: Excellent puck, handles & glides really well, and it's especially nice that you can change out the pins for new ones after awhile.
From: Chris, NY
Comments: We all like these pucks and use em in our outdoor league twice a week year round, good weight to em, not too light,(i.e. Sonic pucks) not too heavy, however they break too easily in colder temps,upper 30s-50s during the winter in Vegas, DO NOT use these pucks in temps colder then 60 degrees. we've had em break upon hitting the steel crossbars of the net and the fence, they break all the time, one night we went thru 6 of them! We do however, like that they come in bright colors for night outdoor rink use i.e high visibility(pink, yellow, orange) work the best, unlike some of the other roller pucks that come in only black
From: ??
Comments:Slides really good on brick concrete and asphalt you can hammer it on a steel regulation net and it still won't break.I would recommend this street puck to any one who loves and want's to get better at the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it
From: Nicholas
Comments:Great puck. It is very durable, perfect for street because it stays flat very well and has alot of grip for a better shot. Great Puck.
From: Taylor
Comments:This is my #1 choice of pucks! Well balanced. Very easy to stick handle with. Fast. No wobbles or sinking of the puck when shot. Light weight. Great puck.
From: Brandon L.
Comments:Pucks are great. We don't have a choice but both my leauge's uses these pucks so what can I say. I took one off the face, but it doesn't hurt. So it's a damn good puck
From: Lawrence
Comments:These pucks are great, I love them, however they break way to easy I prefer using Rockets but this is defiantly the next in line.
From: Tyler Colorado Springs
Comments:I love these pucks, they work great for warm weather shooting on the driveway. I put the puck in a vice and use a thin phillips head screwdriver and a small hammer and tap the pins out. It causes no damage and works well. Ryan has a good comment too, and i will give it a try but also know, that using a drill could lead to puck damage.
From: Mike

Comments: I just ordered this stick a few weeks back and finally got to play some games with it this past weekend, it was great. The ability to absorb pucks was amazing, rebound control was great, it is a little bit on the heavy side for a composite stick but feels great in your hand. It is also very balanced compared to some of the Bauer sticks i have used in the past. Over all this stick is a great buy for the price and all you goalies out there should try it out.

Poor Toshiro, I think hes gotten the worst so far, cut diagonally, with his leg exposed (it looks so funny) and humiliated once again, and ... well you read the rest! xD I think next chapter is the comeback! but it seems to be too late for Toshirou (unless its just an ice clone, but I doubt it.)
And Finally Urahara!!! woot woot! I know its so cliché for a captain to get close to death only to get saved or something, but I so want Toshiro to mop the floor with that cocky son of a bitch XD

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – A big recruiting weekend for official visits concludes today at Ole Miss with Rebels coach Hugh Freeze looking to fill out a handful of spots on what continues to shape up as a very promising class.
In fact, one of those spots was taken late Friday evening when visiting receiver Quincy Adeboyejo, who was committed to Texas A&M until earlier this month.
Rivals.com rates Adeboyejo a four-star prospect and calls him one of the top receivers in the Dallas area.
Houston defensive end Chris Jones, a five-star prospect and Mississippi State commit, ended speculation about whether he would visit Ole Miss when he arrived in Oxford after midnight on Friday.
Defensive end, Robert Nkemdiche of Loganville, Ga., the nation's top recruit, was on hand this weekend along with South Panola safety Antonio Conner.
Nkemdiche appears to be sending mixed signals, telling recruits he strongly favors Ole Miss, where his brother Denzel just completed his redshirt freshman season with All-SEC honors, but telling media he's undecided.
Rivals.com rates Conner as a four-star prospect, the No. 11 safety in the country and the No. 1 player in Mississippi. Scout.com ranks Conner a five-star and the No. 3 safety.
Conner has also visited Alabama and Auburn.
Alpharetta, Ga., running back Peyton Barber was also in attendance. He's been a verbal commit to the Rebels since the summer but recently gained increased momentum from a number of schools including Texas, Tennessee and Auburn.
Barber's high school coach, though, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Barber has firmed up things with Ole Miss after a visit from Rebels coach Hugh Freeze last week.
Ole Miss has four running backs committed in the class, but Barber on paper looks to be the strongest runner, listed at 5-foot-11, 215 pounds. That's bigger than any running back that received regular playing time for the Rebels in 2012.
One of the speed guys is West Bolivar's Kailo Moore, who called Jones and Conner to urge them to join him at Ole Miss.
Freeze is also working to line up the guys who will block for those runners.
With two offensive tackles already committed – Mississippians Daronte Bouldin and Davion Johnson, both rated three-star prospects – Ole Miss is in the conversation for five more offensive linemen. Among them is Laremy Tunsil, of Lake City, Fla., the nation's top offensive line prospect, who was in attendance this weekend. Georgia is considered his leader.
Both the Rebels' starting tackles, Emmanuel McCray on the left side and Pierce Burton on the right, will be seniors in 2013.

Vertebrates (final preparation)
- To enhance the value of our specimens to various disciplines of biology, we prepared some as traditional skins stuffed with cotton, others as skins with complete or mostly complete skeletons or formalin-fixed carcasses, and as "wraps," specimens pickled in formalin and wrapped in cheesecloth to prevent contamination by micro-arthropods from other specimens.
- Removing the carcass, filling the body with cotton, sticks (birds), and wire (mammals), and labeling typically took 30-60 minutes. The study skin was then pinned to a drying board, while the skull and/or carcass was soaked in ethanol (to dehydrate the muscle) or injected and placed in 10% formalin. The final stage of specimen preparation--cleaning bones--is completed back at the Museum.
- Often, we took advantage of bilateral symmetry, leaving one hand and foot on the museum skin, and preserving the other pair as part of the skeleton or carcass. This allows study of external characters and appendicular skeletons and/or foot-pads.
- Tissue samples were taken from heart, lung, liver, kidney and spleen and stored in liquid nitrogen to permit future genetic studies of this diversity.
- Stomach contents and feces were preserved for study of diets and trophic relationships.
- Embryos were preserved to provide resources for studying development and ontogeny.

Comments: I have been a loyal buyer of Pegasus since they were re-released, always enjoying a heavier more substantial shoe with plenty of cushioning for long road miles. But the 31's are basically just a stiffer version of the Free's. Which is exactly the opposite of what I'm looking for. Sorry Nike but you got sucked in to the latest fad and ruined one of your best lines of shoes. I'll be logging miles in your competitor's shoes.
From: ncaachamp, Wi, USA. November 11th 2014
Comments: I have been a Pegasus fan for years, but this is my favorite. In the past, I have used the Pegasus for long runs and a flat (Zoom Streak or Lunarspider LT) for speed work and short distance (10k and below) races. However, this Nike Pegasus 31 is a game changer. The lower offset, lighter weight, snug (but not tight or narrow) fit, and firmer more responsive cushioning all combine to make this iteration of the Pegasus feel fast. Past versions of this shoe could feel clunky and too soft. Not anymore! There's still plenty of cushion here to use them for long pavement runs, but this new fast feel and comfort make me want to keep them on for races. Well done, Nike! This is my GOAT running shoe.
From: Gio, Irvine, CA, USA. October 22nd 2014
Comments: This is the 3rd or 4th version of this shoe that I have worn. I am 6'5" 200# and run about 20 miles per week. This shoe is different than the 29th and 30th versions of this shoe. The arch and mid-foot area are different and there is less support. Feels like there is less arch. The shoe looks cooler, but not enough for me to keep wearing them. My feet hurt after 40 miles in these shoes. I'm off to another brand. Too much change Nike. Bummer.
From: BIGJ, Cincinnati, OH, USA. September 28th 2014
Comments: This shoe is flat out awesome. It oozes performance, doesn't feel squishy. Feels secure around the foot, not constrictive. It is apparent Nike put some R&D into this reboot. Very impressed.
From: Chris, Perrysburg, OH, USA. August 6th 2014
Comments: It's been years since I've run in a Nike shoe, but decided to give the Peg 31 a try. It fits true to size and provides a smooth, responsive ride - not too soft, just firm enough, with a skosh of stability. I like; it's a nice complement to the WR17 in my closet. Depending on how it holds up, the Pegasus could become a regular.
From: Bruce, Davie, FL, USA. July 7th 2014
Comments: I bought the Pegasus 31 the day it was released. I've put over 70 miles on them since. While I love the looks and their comfort when I slip them on. I cant run more than 5 miles in them without some unusual pain in my feet. I average about fifty miles per week, in everything from flats to neutral trainers like the Boston, 890, even the Peg 29. I am a supinator or underpronator and it feels like the midsole on the 31 collapses on the lateral edge but firms up on the medial side. It feels like a stability shoe to me. 36819Hoping the Zoom Elite 7 will work better for me.
From: Anonymous. June 29th 2014
Comments: One again Nike has made the "D" width toe box too narrow and gives me no option but to switch shoes after running in Pegasus since the 2nd version in the early 80's. So, have switched to the Mizuno "Sayonara" which says it all. Good Bye Pegasus it's been good.
From: Daniel, Sioux Falls, SD, USA. June 25th 2014
Comments: Great version of this shoe, I highly recommend it. I had the Peg 29's for 2 years and really liked them, but the 31 is now my favorite all-around trainer. The Pegasus 31 has great attention to detail and appeals to my appreciation of classic running shoe design - the shoe is not overdone at all. The features are minimal and subtle, but very effective... Footbed and upper are comfortable and feel durable. For me they fit perfectly and suit my form quite well. I'm 41 and run 20-25 miles per week, mostly roads and gravel trails.
From: Mac, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. June 17th 2014
Comments: The 31 is amazing, best Peg yet. When I first put them on my initial thought was these are more comfortable than my Free Run 2's, that is not possible! But it's true, like someone else said they disappear on your feet. The 10mm drop feels perfectly natural, much faster shoe than the 29 and 30 certainly. The only problem is, I still have a few pair of 29's and 30's I need to burn through! Phenomenal, well done Nike.
From: Arturo, Ashburn, VA, USA. June 11th 2014
Comments: So glad I ordered a replacement pair of 29's these look like crap
From: Anonymous. June 9th 2014
Comments: This shoe is awesome. Much more responsive and fast feeling than the 29 or 30. The shoe feels like it has lower drop, too, maybe 10mm instead of 12 or 13, which helps with the transition. I think Nike hit a home run here, the shoe just disappears on my feet.

Ratings for Dr. M. Amr Hosny
I have seen Dr. Hosny for sciatica treatment over a period of 5 months. Scheduling was easy as the staff went above and beyond to accommodate my hectic schedule. The procedures I had were done in the office and were not painful at all as I had sedation. I highly recommend Dr. Hosny.
I've had back pain for as long as I can remember. It finally got to the point where i couldnt take it any longer! I went to see dr. Amr hosny and between physical therapy and an injection I feel like a different person!! Super pleased with everything from staff to treatments and have already recommended to my friends.
Great Doctor! Took his time to answer all my questions. Very personable.
I've been seeing Dr. Hosny for some time now. Have had nothing but great experiences. Came in complaining about lower back pain and ignored it for a long time until I finally came in. Great staff, on time - feeling much better now. Thanks Dr. Hosny.
I just want to say that I'm super picky and really take my time finding doctors. A recent postpartum MRI showed a disc bulge on my lumbar spine which caused me extreme sciatic nerve pain for 6 weeks! I have to say that I LOVE this office, Dr. Chu, the nurses (both) were great LOVE KATHERINE. Dr. Hosny is SO caring, comforting and compassionate. Everyone in PT is exceptional too(I see Beth). I was SO nervous to get the epidural lumbar injection and the second they noticed it, they made me feel so comfortable, explained EVERYTHING to me/put my mind at easy. You can tell Dr. Hosny and his staff are very knowledgeable with lots of experience. I was sedated and next thing you know the procedure was done! If I have to get more done I won't be nervous because I know who I'm dealing now and trust them! The precautions they take are above & beyond. They had me stop taking certain medications as a precaution before the procedure that other doctors didn't catch. Love them! Highly Recommend!
Dr. Mohamed Amr H. Ahmed Hosny, MD - this troll isn't even a decent human being never-mind a good physician. I happened to be going for surgery in the same building he works out of in Riverdale. I parked in a parking spot marked surgery center, thinking this was the parking for the dermatology group i was going to. The valet had not yet arrived as it was 8 am. This troll parks behind me, blocking me in, and says to the valet "screw them now they can wait until I'm done with surgery" This troll then proceeds to go into his office with his keys, leaving me stranded after coming out of surgery, and I am expected at another office for the surgery to be completed. Then when i go into his office, he charges me like a bull. I dint know who he thinks he is, but i wouldnt trust him with my life, as an anesthesiologist. He has no moral compass!! What kind of person does that. He should go back under the rock he crawled out of.
Before being treated by Dr. Hosny and his staff, I was unable to take care and play with my grandchildren. It hurt my heart that I couldn't do things that I usually had no difficulty doing. I saw hope when I met with Dr. Hosny. He knew exactly what was wrong and how to get rid of the pain. I am forever grateful to him and his staff. I am back to living my life without pain. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I would recommended him to everyone!
Dr. Hosny is one of the most caring physicians I have known. I came to Dr. Hosny after a chiropractor hurt my back so bad that I could barely walk. Dr. Hosny listened and wrote down everything I said. He ordered an MRI and then I had my first procedure all within two weeks of seeing Dr. Hosny. He truly is the BEST doctor!!!! He is very kind and very caring towards his patients. Summer who is the physican's assistant is excellent!!! The staff at NJPCC are top notch!! They always have a warm friendly smile when they greet you. I give the dr and his staff and A++++++++++++++
This doctor is horrible. He never remembers your condition. My consults were 5 minutes long and his insisted certain procedures that had no effect on me. I told him the Facet Injections weren't working after about a year of going there and the next month he would not see me and left me out like a dog in the street with no meds all because I voiced my opinion that I no longer felt the procedures were working. That is no reason to inexplicably cut someone off from their meds just because you can't bill the insurance company for those procedures anymore. I guess I wasn't profitable for him anymore.
I work 14hrs/day, and this life style has been harsh on my neck/spine. My neck suddenly hurt so much that I had basically lost all movement and was unable to work for a week. When I found NY Pain Care online and read Dr. Hosny's reviews, I made an appointment right away (and I was able to get an appointment the day of, vs. other hospitals that won't give you an appointment until a month later). Super friendly and hospitable staff. Dr. Hosny is very good at what he does. He knew exactly what problem I had, helped me understand what's causing the pain, and I was scheduled for an MRI and treatment immediately. Within 2 days, I was without pain and fully functioning back at work. Even with full schedule, Dr. Hosny was able to accommodate me. I went in for another treatment after 2 weeks, and now I'm basically cured. I highly recommend anyone with bad neck/back pain to visit this hospital. People at this hospitable really care about your health vs. just wanting to make money.

IE Pre-graduate School Internship
IE Electronic Contracts for Spring '17 are Available
Click Here to Submit a Contract
$1000 Intern and Mentor Awards
Note: IE Contracts will only be accepted until the
4th class day of the semester in which the internship is being done
The objective of the IE Pre-Graduate School Internship is to connect undergraduates with faculty and veteran graduate students in their field of study to explore those unique aspects of graduate study that make it distinct from the undergraduate experience (e.g., conducting research, writing for scholarly audiences, participating in seminars, serving as teaching and research assistants, publishing articles in professional journals, becoming members of scholarly organizations and learned societies, preparing for an academic or professional career, etc.). In most cases the intern will work primarily with the graduate mentor and secondarily with a faculty supervisor.
The Pre-Graduate School Internship is available to all undergraduates at UT-Austin in all colleges and schools. Internships are based on the ability of the student to find and gain the consent of a faculty member and/or graduate student willing to supervise the internship.
Internship projects, assignments and tasks are determined through negotiation between students and faculty supervisors and/or graduate student mentors; internship contracts ensure that there is both structure to and accountability for the experience.
Watch a Video About the IE Pre-Grad Internship Experience
NOTE: There are no strings attached to internships. Participation does NOT guarantee admission for graduate study. In addition, the relationship among the undergraduate, faculty supervisor and graduate student mentor can be very informal; while a particular faculty member or graduate student will serve as the internship supervisor, the internship might involve contact and work with several faculty members and graduate students.

After many years of little or no July 4 Celebration in Green River they celebrated July 4, in style. The activities started out with a bicycle parade there were 40 participants with four winners in each age group. The winners were: ages four and under- first, Angel Cordingly; second, Kaidence Meadows; third, Lilly Giles; and honorable mention, Marshall Snow.
Five and six year olds- first, Kollin Robertson; second, Katlynn Wetherington; third, Sam Corrigan/Zack Mecham; and honorable mention, Deserie Snow.
Seven-nine year olds- first, Tate Engleman; second, Madison Watterson; third, Cory Gordon; and honorable mention Seraj Rodman.
Ages 10 and up- first, Kira Engleman; second, Nick Cordingly; third, Richard Wilson; and honorable mention, Sydney Thayn.
During the bicycle parade, the judging for the pie baking contest was being judged. The winners were: first place Sharon Seely - cherry pie; second place Tammie Bentley - mixed berry pie; and third place Sharon Seely - peach pie.
Other outstanding pies were from Anastasia Siaperas who baked a tasty Shoo Fly pie and provided an excellent history information sheet with it and Jo Anne Chandler made her famous sweet potato pie.
The American Legion honored them with a flag ceremony and led the Pledge of Allegiance. Members participating were Tom Burr, Orson Anderson, Paul Price, Gary Riches, Justin Monroe and Christine Monroe who gave the commands. Every year the US Armed Forces give their all and sometimes even their lives to keep our freedom. Thank you each and every one of you for your service to this great country.
Sydney Thayn then sang the Star Spangled Banner leading into an excellent program put on by the Green River Community Center Summer Camp Kids.
The children told a little bit about what their summer camp was all about and then some history about the United States, followed by singing The Grand 'Ole Flag and parading through the audience waving their American flags. What a great job they all did, thank you.
Hot dogs and hamburgers with all the trimmings, drinks, and dessert were provided by Green River City. The ladies of the churches made salads; it wouldn't be a picnic without them. Luke Shorts donated all the buns. They visited, ate and drank (it was 106 degrees that day); the kids played games and ran races until dark. Then they moved over to the Shooting Sports Park for fireworks provided by Green River City manned by the Green River Fire Department. A good time was had by all. They appreciate all who made it so successful and fun.

The Race is On
"The general route for these round-the-world races is basically the same for everyone," explains Cahalan, "because it's based on the persistent wind belts and calms that are part of the general circulation of the atmosphere." The general circulation is simply the movement of the atmosphere averaged over a span of time, such as a month, a season, or a year. The patterns repeat so predictably because the underlying factors that drive them either don't change—for example, the fact that the Earth is spinning or that the equator gets more direct sunlight than the poles—or else change so slowly that they appear unchanging—like the location of the continents.
Cahalan explains it is the major wind belts and calms that sailors are concerned with. "Between the poles and the equator, each hemisphere has three major surface wind belts: the polar easterlies, which extend from the poles to about 60 degrees latitude; the prevailing westerlies, which stretch from about 60 degrees to 35 degrees; and the trade winds, which pick up at about 30 degrees, and blow towards the equator."
The opposite of these typically windy areas are latitudes where the surface winds—when they exist—are light and unpredictable. One of these calm zones circles the globe between five degrees north and south of the equator, where the trade winds converge. Thunderstorms occur daily, but surface winds are so scarce in the region that the European sailors nicknamed it "the doldrums." Meteorologists call it the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone, or ITCZ, for short.
The other areas of predictable calm occur between about 35 and 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. These clear-sky, dry areas are called "the horse latitudes," which may be a grim reference to the days when the crews of ships stranded without wind at those latitudes were forced to either eat their horses or throw them overboard when food and water supplies dwindled.
In the doldrums, there is little surface wind because the trade winds collide and drive air upward. In the horse latitudes, the opposite occurs: air is sinking back down to the surface from high in the atmosphere. Rising air creates zones of low pressure at the surface; sinking air creates zones of high pressure.
In the Atlantic in the northern hemisphere, this region of high pressure at the horse latitudes is called the Bermuda High; in the Atlantic in the southern hemisphere horse latitudes, the region is called the South Atlantic High. Sailors must avoid these matching areas of high pressure and little wind that lurk in the middle of the Atlantic in both Hemispheres.
"Leaving from the English Channel, the route is south along the Bay of Biscay, staying about 80 miles west of the Canary Islands. Next, you aim to cross the Equator somewhere between 25 and 30 degrees West, a place where the ITCZ [the doldrums] is rather thin. Then you go around the South Atlantic High and head toward the Southern Ocean," explains Cahalan.
When the Cheyenne reached the Antarctic Convergence Zone—where cold Antarctic waters meet the waters of warmer mid-latitude oceans—Cahalan recalls how quickly conditions changed. "It was amazing how it was like a line in the ocean as far as how strong the differences were in air and water temperature," she says. "We saw icebergs as far north as 48 degrees South when we were near 60 degrees East. We sailed the rest of the way eastward around the Southern Ocean at about 50 degrees South, dipping a little lower to maybe 53-54 south in the South Pacific." After crossing the empty Pacific, the Cheyenne sailed around the southern tip of South America and in mid-March, they found themselves once again in the Atlantic.

Gothic to Renaissance
The Renaissance was preceded by International Gothic, a style of art and architecture that continued into the first decades of the 1400s. In Gothic art figures appear static, lacking depth, volume and pictorial realism. Artists favoured backgrounds of gold-leaf that embellished the image and accentuated its flatness. Figures become more three-dimensional, their movement fluid and natural. Detailed landscapes or Classical architectural settings demonstrate new theories of perspective.
Sacred imagery—Jesus, Mary and saints—was no longer the only subject for art. Spurred on by humanist concepts derived through the revival of Greco-Roman texts, Renaissance artists made humans central to their paintings. However, the shift from Gothic to Renaissance ideas was slow and, as a result, many paintings from the first half of the fifteenth century remain rooted in the older tradition.

UNEP Launches Global Initiative for Resource Efficient Cities18/
Rio de Janeiro, 18 June 2012 - The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and partners have unveiled a new initiative that aims to reduce pollution levels, improve resource efficiency and reduce infrastructure costs in cities across the world.Launched today at the Rio+20 summit in Brazil, the Global Initiative for Resource-Efficient Cities will work with local and national governments, the private sector and civil society groups to promote energy efficient buildings, efficient water use, sustainable waste management and other activities. Cities with populations of 500,000 or more are invited to join the initiative, which aims to attract 200 members by 2015.In a rapidly urbanizing world, cities are increasingly becoming the focus of international sustainability efforts. Up to 80 percent of the world population is expected to reside in cities by 2050. Indeed, this 'second wave' of urbanisation is projected to see over 3 billion additional people living in cities in a time-span of just 80 years, primarily in Africa and Asia. Today, urban areas account for 50 percent of all waste, generate 60-80 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions and consume 75 percent of natural resources, yet occupy only 3 percent of the Earth's surface. Yet water savings of 30 percent, and energy saving of up to 50 percent can be achieved in cities with limited investment and encouraging behavioral change, according to UNEP. Moreover, the economic opportunities associated with making cities more sustainable are numerous. As centres of technology, cities can spearhead the creation of green jobs in sectors such as renewable energy. Projections show that some 20 million people could be employed in the wind, solar and biofuel industries by 2030, for example. The Global Initiative for Resource-Efficient Cities will support sustainability efforts in cities with the following core activities: Promoting research on resource efficiency and sustainable consumption and production Providing access and advice for city decision-makers on technical expertise, capacity building and funding opportunities for improving resource efficiency Creating a network for cities and organizations to exchange experiences and peer-review projects for mutual benefit"Decoupling economic growth from unsustainable resource use and environmental impacts-especially in urban areas - underpins the transition to a low-carbon, resource efficient green economy", said Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director."The new Global Initiative for Resource Efficiency Cities aims to provide cities with a common framework for assessing environmental performance and encouraging innovative sustainability measures. In the context of rapid urbanization and growing pressures on natural resources, there is an urgent need for co-ordinated action on urban sustainability. This is essential both for preventing irreversible degradation of resources and ecosystems, and for realizing the multiple benefits of greener cities, from savings through energy-efficient buildings, or the health and climate benefits of cleaner fuels and vehicles."The initiative has already been backed by a broad range of international institutions, such as UN-Habitat, the World Bank, United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI), Cities Alliance, International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), Veolia Environment Institute, Bioregional, Urban Environmental Accords Members Alliance and International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED).Several cities have already come on board, including the City of Sao Paulo, Malmo, Heidelberg, Quezon City, Gwangju, with national interest having been expressed by Japan, Brazil, France and the United States. "The strong, early interest in this initiative is further evidence that cities, which generate 80 percent of global GDP, understand they are the key decision-makers and implementers of the necessary steps required to move our societies towards a more sustainable pattern of consumption and production," said David Miller, former mayor of Toronto and past chair of the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group. Sustainable Cities: Making it HappenThe practical steps that cities can take towards resource efficiency are the focus of a new UNEP report, also launched today at Rio+20. Using case studies from China, Brazil, Germany and a host of other countries, Sustainable, Resource Efficient Cities in the 21st Century: Making it Happen, highlights opportunities for city leaders to improve waste and water management, energy efficiency, urban transportation, and other key sectors. Among the projects highlighted in the report is the Masdar City development in the United Arab Emirates, which is acting as a test-bed for the development of the skills, innovation and markets required for realizing the eco-city concept at a large scale. The report also examines several initiatives that aim to meet the rising energy demands of urban centres, in a sustainable way.Renewable energy feed-in tariff strategies in Germany, for example, have allowed the city of Freiburg to invest in photovoltaic, wind and other renewable energy systems, which now supply over 8 percent of the city's total energy demand. Household energy consumption has been decreased by up to 80 percent due to Freiburg's energy-efficient housing standards. Overall, the UNEP report outlines several success factors for transitioning to sustainable, resource efficient cities: Integration: Cities need to move beyond merely conducting environmental impact assessments before implementing new developments. In addition to a conservation approach towards greening, the livability of cities and social equality measures should be taken into account. Governance: Tackling climate change and advancing urban sustainability requires an integrated, consultative approach involving local communities and civil society groups, as well traditional decision-makers. Smart Urban Design: Supporting low-footprint design that targets public transport, pedestrian zones and cycle lanes and promote compact, multi-use urban development Finance: Tax incentives and subsidies can be used to stimulate the up-take of green technologies. Technology Transfer: Transfer of technology and skills to developing countries should be adapted to suit local context, not simply 'off-the-shelf' solutions from the developed world. Capacity building on management and maintenance is an important part of technology and skills transfer. Innovation: Supporting and/or establishing educational and research bodies that can support the development of skills, capabilities and networks on urban sustainabilityA second UNEP report, also launched today, examineshow cities can better access climate finance through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The Feasibility Study on the Development of an Urban CDM, recommends reforming the existing CDM to allow for methodologies geared towards cities. It also recommends the development of a CDM programme of activities for pilot cities that would inform the future development of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions and assist in the transition to a green economy.Notes to Editors More information on the Global Initiative for Resource-Efficient Cities is available at:http://www.unep.org/pdf/GI-REC_4pager.pdfFull copies of the UNEP reports Sustainable, Resource Efficient Cities in the 21st Century: Making it Happen, and A Feasibility Study on the Development of an Urban CDM are available at: http://www.unep.org/urban_environment/Publications/index.aspAdditional QuotationsFédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils (FIDIC), [as] the global representative of the consulting engineering industry supports the GI-REC and will, with the involvement of all partners, contribute to the development of methods and processes, creating synergies between urban planning and infrastructure supply systems. FIDIC believes that a paradigm shift in the decision-making of all partners - public and private stakeholders and related people involved, at any level - is necessary for the success of the GI-REC. The consulting engineering industry will contribute to using the products of the GI-REC in a holistic manner, through integrated collaboration of our industry with decision makers who are involved in developing suitable policies and investment strategies. - Francois Baillon, FIDIC RepresentativeThe Gwangju Metropolitan City and the Urban Environmental Accords Members Alliance (UEAMA) congratulate the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on the launch of the Global Initiative for Resource Efficient Cities (GI-REC) at Rio+20. Gwangju and UEAMA agree entirely with and support the principles of resource efficiency and are confident that the Initiative will play a crucial role in the field. Gwangju and UEAMA also believe that the GI-REC can become an avenue to showcase and implement tools that were co-developed by UNEP and UEAMA such as the urban Environment Evaluation Index and the Urban Clean Development Mechanism. - Kim Kwi-gon PhD, Secretary General of the UEA Members AllianceBioRegional fully supports the goals of GI-REC. Evidence from projects and initiatives around the world, including those of BioRegional and our partners, are demonstrating that cities can support a higher quality way of life at the same time as reducing burdens on the planet's finite resources. We now need to scale these strategies and technologies and deploy them systematically and comprehensively. Initiatives such as GI-REC can be instrumental in this process. - Pooran Desai, Co-founder BioRegional and International Director, One Planet CommunitiesThe French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy supports the Global Initiative for Resource Efficient Cities launched by UNEP. Decoupling economic growth from resource use is a key issue. Cities have an important role to play to improve resource efficiency, reduce carbon emission and pollution, enhance ecosystems and minimize environmental risks. Disseminating knowledge, exchanging experience, sharing best practices will help them to reach these goals and we agree to facilitate access to French expertise, to provide access to information available on various fields related to resource efficiency and to participate in a network platform -Nicole Bricq, Ministre de l'EnvironnementICLEI fully supports the important Global Initiative for Resource Efficient Cities (GI-REC) of our longstanding partner, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The initiative seizes the momentum of Rio+20 and the widespread recognition of the importance of sustainable cities and will help to turn political momentum into action on the ground. ICLEI, with its 1200 members, is committed to working towards resource efficient cities, as evidenced by resource efficiency being one of ICLEI's 8 agendas for sustainable cities. Resource efficient cities can be a crucial element to achieving greater sustainability globally. ICLEI and UNEP will continue working together to achieve its shared goal of greater global sustainability. -Susanne Salz, Head of the Secretary General's Office, ICLEIFor more, information, please contact:Nick Nuttall, Acting Director, UNEP Division of Communication and Public Information and Spokesperson, Tel: +55 11 6593 8058 / +254 733 632755, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Coll, UNEP Newsdesk (Nairobi), Tel. +254 731 666 214, E-mail: email@example.com O'Brien-Malone, Head, DTIE Communications, UNEP Paris, Tel. + 33 1 44 37 76 12 / +33 6 82 26 93 73, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

An Iowa man's sunset wedding ceremony aboard a hot air balloon got off to a bumpy start when a gust of wind forced the pilot to make a crash landing in the yard of a San Diego home. (Jan. 8) AP
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Jonathan and Kerin Narcisse plan to skydive on their first wedding anniversary.
Leaping from a plane, after all, is the only way to top the unexpected crash landing that followed the couple's nuptials Monday.
Shortly after exchanging vows aboard a hot air balloon in San Diego, the vessel carrying the former Des Moines school board member and his new wife fell to the ground.
The crash landing — punctuated by screams and harried prayers — was caught on video by a family member and broadcast Tuesday on NBC's "Today."
"There were so many calls to Jesus," Jonathan Narcisse quipped Tuesday after returning to Des Moines. "In fact, I think now we have six or seven generations of Narcisses protected."
The ceremony began "like something out of a fairy tale," he said. The balloon took off an hour before sunset, and the couple exchanged vows surrounded by white, puffy clouds. Far below, the reflection of the setting sun shimmered across the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
"It's a magnificent place to get married," said Narcisse, a 2010 third-party Iowa gubernatorial candidate. "There's no man-made structure that you can decorate to replicate that setting."
But Narcisse, 49, is the first to acknowledge two critical shortcomings of his hot air balloon wedding.
No. 1: Crash landings aren't optimal when wearing a white rented tux.
No. 2: It's hard to politely chuckle at the pastor's well-meaning jokes when you and your beloved are experiencing a free fall from the sky.
During the wedding party's rapid descent, the balloon came close to clipping a power line.
"We just barely missed them, and then the minister goes, 'Well, that would have been electrifying,'" Narcisse recounted. "It was not very funny at the time."
Narcisse said the trouble began when the pilot overshot the planned landing area.
From there, "we started a rapid descent," he said.
The balloon finally came to a stop when the basket crashed into a residential fence. No one was hurt. Even the red rose Kerin Narcisse held during the ceremony remained unharmed.
Jonathan Narcisse said he considers himself lucky, for more than one reason.
He's finally married to the woman he loves.
"Since 2005, I've been pursuing her," he said.
The two began dating in November. Kerin, a hospice nurse and Iowa native, will leave San Diego and join Narcisse in Des Moines this spring.
"There was an adventure leading up to the landing ... the adventure of two people finding each other," he said. "It's been a journey, and this is the perfect conclusion."
