Man Got Over Fear of Flying by Skydiving, and Got It All on Tape

Using skydiving to get rid of a fear of flying seems like going completely overboard, but it seems to have helped Dan Clunn. As part of a personal project to overcome his fears, Clunn's wife bought him a skydive over British Columbia. And luckily for us, he caught the entire thing on video. Clunn captures everything from the climb to more than 10,000 feet, to the anticipation before the jump, to the death-defying fall itself. By the end of it, Clunn changes from being nervous, to blissful. It looks like a lot of fun, and also totally scary.

Military Members and Their Families Clean Up Pearl Harbor Memorial During Shutdown


You may remember the story we told you last week about Chris Cox, the South Carolina man who took it upon himself to clean up the grounds around the Lincoln Memorial. Of course, the Lincoln Memorial is not the only national park receiving much-needed lawn care from private citizens during the government shutdown. It's also happening in Hawaii.
The entrance to the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor had been looking overgrown and disheveled, so a group of military families decided to follow in Cox’s footsteps and clean it up on their own. Army medic Josh Stone noticed that there was work and said, "The grass was pretty out of control, so I said, 'Let's try to do something about it.'" He put out a call for volunteers on Facebook. Dozens of members of the military, their spouses, and their children answered the call, arriving at the site with lawn mowers, trimmers, rakes, and a ton of energy.

Italian Man Builds Handmade Roller Coaster in the Woods


Are you a fan of amusement parks? The thrill of a roller coaster, the excitement of a ferris wheel? Well, would you visit a handmade roller coaster? Let’s say in the middle of the woods?
That's what one extremely crafty welder, Bruno, built in a northern Italian forest near the city of Treviso. He’s been building roller coasters, swings and slides by hand for the past 40 years. His story is featured in a new short documentary on Vimeo released by communications research company Fabrica. The title of the documentary, "Ai Pioppi" is also the name of his family’s restaurant.
When he opened the park in 1969, his initial goal was to attract customers. He says of his ride-building creative process, "A branch falls, a leaf floats down, a bird flies by, a stone rolls. And I say to myself, 'maybe I can use this movement.' That's how my ideas are born."
Bruno is a talented man, but we don't know if we would ride one of his creations!

New Orleans Saints

Drew Brees, Saints weather Buccaneers’ push

TAMPA — Drew Brees was sacked four times, knocked around a bunch more, and threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown.
Still, the New Orleans quarterback found a way to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers again.
Garrett Hartley kicked a 27-yard field goal as time expired to give the Saints a weather-delayed 16-14 victory and their fourth consecutive win over their NFC South rivals on Sunday.
the lead early in the fourth quarter to complete three straight passes for 54 yards to lead the Saints (2-0) into position to win.
He finished 26 of 46 for 322 yards, although interceptions by linebackers Dekoda Watson and Mason Foster led to all of Tampa Bay’s points.
The game was interrupted by a 69-minute suspension of play because of lightning that sent fans at Raymond James Stadium scurrying for cover early in the first quarter.
The Bucs (0-2) lost on a field goal in the closing seconds for the second straight week. Foster scored on an 85-yard interception return for a 14-13 lead.
However, Rian Lindell missed a 46-yard field goal attempt just over a minute later, giving Brees one more chance to bring the Saints back.
Brees led his team into scoring position with completions of 15 yards to Jimmy Graham, 8 yards to Darren Sproles, and 31 yards to Marques Colston.
It was the 22d time during the regular season Brees has led a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime.
The Bucs played resilient defense to stay in the game, but in the end weren’t able to generate enough offense.
Josh Freeman completed just 9 of 22 passes for 125 yards for Tampa Bay. Doug Martin rushed for 144 yards on 29 carries.
The Bucs visit Gillette Stadium next Sunday for their first meeting with the Patriots since the 2009 season. The game at London’s Wembley Stadium was won by the Patriots, 35-7.

Navy Yard shooting

Gunman and 12 Victims Killed in Shooting at D.C. Navy Yard

WASHINGTON — At least 13 people, including one gunman, were killed, and the police were looking for other potential suspects, in a shooting Monday morning at a naval office building not far from Capitol Hill and the White House, police officials said.
One police officer was in surgery after being shot in an exchange of fire with a gunman, said Chief Cathy L. Lanier of the Metropolitan Police Department. The shootings took place at the Washington Navy Yard, in the southeast part of the city.
Senior law enforcement officials identified the gunman as Aaron Alexis, 34. He was identified through his fingerprints.
According to the Navy, Mr. Alexis enlisted as a full-time reservist in May 2007 and left the service in January 2011. He served as an aviation electrician, and the highest rank he achieved was mate third class. From February 2008 to January 2011, he was assigned to Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 46, in Fort Worth.
The Navy said Mr. Alexis had been awarded the National Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.
Shortly after 4 p.m., the F.B.I. released a “Seeking Information” bulletin asking for the public’s help in learning more about Mr. Alexis. The bulletin, which had two photographs of Mr. Alexis, said he was 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighed 190 pounds and was born in Queens.
Valerie Parlave, the assistant director of the Washington field office of the F.B.I., urged members of the public to look at pictures of Mr. Alexis on the F.B.I. Web site and to call with any information they might have about him.
“No piece of information is too small,” she said. “We are looking to learn everything we can about his recent movements, his contacts and his associates. We ask the public to look at the photos of the deceased shooter.”
Three weapons were found on the gunman: an AR-15 assault rifle, a shotgun and a semiautomatic pistol, an official said.
“It’s hard to carry that many guns, so there is some thinking that he may have taken some of them from security or whoever else he shot,” the official said.
One federal law enforcement official said the suspected gunman had family in New York, a mother and a sister or sisters, but had not lived there.
The official indicated that the gunman was captured on video as he entered the building before the shooting and said that it was possible that other portions of the episode were also recorded by cameras inside the building.
“We’re continuing to see if there are in fact additional shooters, but we have nothing to indicate that yet,” the official said.
As the day wore on, officials released conflicting information about the search for two possible gunmen.
Officials said one of the two gunmen they were looking for was a white man wearing a khaki Navy uniform and carrying a handgun. The other was a black man, about 50 years old, who was believed to be carrying a “long gun,” police officials said.
But officials in Washington did not move to lock down the city in light of that threat. The Metro, the city’s subway system, continued to operate normally. Out of an “abundance of caution,” Terrance W. Gainer, the Senate sergeant-at-arms, put the Senate complex into lockdown just after 3 p.m. The Senate had recessed in the early afternoon.
Meanwhile, the city’s deputy mayor for public safety wrote on Twitter just moments after Chief Lanier’s afternoon briefing that one of the men being sought had been cleared. “The white male being sought in connection to the #NavyYardShooting has been identified and is NOT a suspect,” said the post from the account of Paul A. Quander Jr., the deputy mayor.
One law enforcement official involved in the investigation said that the authorities had received few reports from witnesses of seeing gunmen who fit the descriptions that the city officials had provided. “There would have been a whole lot more damage if there had been three gunmen,” the official said.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.  — Nina Davuluri became the first contestant of Indian heritage and the second consecutive contestant from New York to win the Miss America pageant Sunday night.

Davuluri, 24, won the title as the nationally televised pageant returned home to Atlantic City.

She succeeds another Miss New York, Mallory Hagan, whose tenure was cut short when the pageant moved back to Atlantic City after a six-year stint in Las Vegas, where winners were chosen in January.

Davuluri performed a classical Bollywood fusion dance for her talent competition.

After the traditional frolic in the Atlantic City surf Monday morning, she will head to the scene of a devastating boardwalk fire in the New Jersey communities of Seaside park and Seaside Heights on Monday afternoon.
Miss California, Crystal Lee, was first runner-up.
The pageant had pitted 53 contestants — one from each state, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands — in swimsuit, evening gown, talent and interview competitions.

“This is where we belong,” Sam Haskell, CEO of the Miss America Organization, told The Associated Press. “This is the home of Miss America, and this is where we're going to stay.”

Much attention had been given to Miss Kansas, Theresa Vail, who is believed to be the first Miss America contestant to openly display tattoos. She has the Serenity Prayer on her rib cage and a military insignia on the back of a shoulder. While other contestants wore glamorous costumes and elaborately decorated footwear during Saturday night's “show-us-your-shoes” parade on the Boardwalk, Vail wore camouflage gear and Army boots.

In a Twitter message Sunday, Vail wrote: “Win or not tonight, I have accomplished what I set out to do. I have empowered women. I have opened eyes.”

Vail made it to the Top 10 and won a nationwide voters' choice award propelling her into the semi-finals.

Another noteworthy contestant was Miss Florida, Myrrhanda Jones, who made it into the top 5 while wearing a bejeweled knee brace. She tore ligaments in her knee while rehearsing her baton twirling routine on Thursday. Sunday night, she performed the routine flawlessly.

The pageant started in Atlantic City as a way to extend the summer tourism season for an extra weekend.
