One-by-one dozens of individuals took a leap into bone-chilling water, all for a good cause. |
Sunday, members of the public participated in a Polar Plunge in Summerside, with one twist – participants jumped into a four-and-a-half-foot deep pool that was stationed between Summerside Police Services and fire hall. |
The event raised more than $25,000 for Special Olympic athletes on P.E.I. |
Gerald Arsenault, of P.E.I. Ground Search and Rescue, didn’t hesitate when he leapt from the platform and into the chilled water while splashing onlookers. |
Charity Sheehan, the executive director of Special Olympics P.E.I., was pleased with the turnout and new location on 270 Foundry St. |
“We’ve had it on the Summerside waterfront and participants had to run out so far that no one could see their reaction to the cold water, and it felt quite detached. But with the pool onlookers could enjoy watching the reactions of the participants, laughing, and even – for those close enough – get splashed,” she said. |
The plunge was organized by the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics P.E.I. (LETRPEI) each plunger attempts to raise $100 and receives a $10 gift card from Canadian Tire in return. |
The pool was donated by Canadian Tire and as well as prize draw items and barbecue. |
Summerside’s Atlantic Police Academy cadets, from left, Colby Landrigan, Alyssa Oram and Callum MacLean take the chilly plunge all for a worthy cause. |
Lana Del Rey had to have therapy over her fear of dying. |
The Born To Die singer, 30, admitted she has panic attacks because of her worries and even saw a therapist for help. |
She told Billboard: 'It's hard for me sometimes to think about going on when I know we're going to die. Something happened in the last three years, with my panic [attacks]... It got worse. |
And Lana admitted she has another big fear; she's scared of sharks. |
Speaking about her anxiety, she said: 'I'm really like my mother, in the sense that I make small lists. To calm myself down. I reward myself. You know, "If I finish this, then I'll do that" - I'll go for a walk on the beach or swim in the ocean. |
Lana's admission comes one month after the release of her latest studio album, Honeymoon. |
The star explained in a Beats 1 Radio interview that she has been working steadily on her latest album, since wrapping up her last album, 2014's Ultraviolence. |
Lana's career continues to skyrocket ever since skyrocketing to fame with the release of her 2012 offering, Born To Die. |
Her track in the film Big Eyes was nominated for a Golden Globe earlier this year. |
Rarely seen out and about, the melancholy and mellifluous-voiced star and her boyfriend enjoyed a summer break in Italy. |
The dust has hardly settled on Toronto FC’s 2017 season, but with next year’s pre-season about six weeks away, there’s no time to waste when it comes to the business side of the game. |
About 24 hours after the Reds clinched the club’s first MLS Cup crown, the league named 13 Toronto players who will be up for grabs in Tuesday afternoon’s expansion draft. |
The league’s 23rd franchise, Los Angeles FC, will get its start in 2018, coached by Bob Bradley, father of Reds captain Michael Bradley. This week, the newly minted club will have the chance to select five players from a list of 309 eligible from across the league. |
Those exposed include TFC goalkeepers Clint Irwin, and Mark Pais; defenders Drew Moor, Steven Beitashour, Jason Hernandez, Oyvind Alseth and Brandon Aubrey; midfielders Benoit Cheyrou, Armando Cooper, Raheem Edwards, Nico Hasler and Tsubasa Endoh; and striker Tosaint Ricketts. |
No team can lose more than one player in the draft. |
Moor, Beitashour, Cheyrou and Cooper all played in Saturday’s final against the Seattle Sounders. |
Each existing MLS club protected 11 players from this year’s rosters. Generation Adidas players and some homegrown players were automatically protected. |
Beitashour, Moor and Hernandez are all free agents. If a free agent is taken in the expansion draft, LAFC takes over his previous club’s ability to renegotiate a new contract consistent with the collective agreement before the beginning of stage two of the league’s re-entry draft . If a free agent subsequently signs wi... |
Irwin, in particular, has experience with being left unprotected ahead of an expansion draft. He was selected by Atlanta United in the 2016 version of the proceedings, then traded back to Toronto within hours in exchange for defender Mark Bloom. |
Beitashour, Cheyrou and Ricketts were all exposed in the 2016 draft as well. While the list seems to include a lot of big names for Toronto, the 13 players exposed this year actually logged fewer minutes over the course of this season that the 11 the Reds put on the chopping block last year combined in 2016. |
(RIA Novosti) - Russia's state arms export company, Rosoboronexport, will present an array of weaponry, including new missile systems for the Navy at an upcoming international arms exhibition in Greece, the company said Monday. |
The 14th specialized exhibition of conventional weapons systems for national defense on land, sea and air, Defendory International 2006, will be held October 3-7, in the Greek capital, Athens. |
Fifteen Russian defense industry companies will exhibit more than 300 models of military equipment in the form of mock-up models, posters, electronic presentations, videos and advertising materials, Rosoboronexport said. |
A special segment of the Russian exposition will feature integrated missile systems Club-S for submarines and Club-N for surface ships. These unique systems are designed to destroy submarines, surface vessels and ground installations whose coordinates are known in advance, even if these targets deploy active defenses a... |
The Club-S submarine launched cruise missile family includes the 3M-54E1 anti-ship missile and the 3M-14E land attack versions, with a flight range of 275km (about 170 miles). |
The missile can be launched from standard torpedo tubes from a depth of 35 to 40 meters (130 feet), cruise autonomously along a selected flight trajectory at a speed of 240 m/sec at an altitude of 20 meters (70 feet), and drop to a sea-skimming level of 5 to 10 meters (20 to 30 feet) when approaching the target. The mi... |
In 2005, Russia sold a Project 08773 attack submarine equipped with Club-S missile system to India, reports Trend. |
BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — A report says 35 manatees across Florida have died as a result of cold stress syndrome in January. |
The Bradenton Herald reports the deaths between Jan. 1 and Jan. 26 were tallied in a preliminary report from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The commission says that was five times as many deaths compared to the same period in 2017. But it doesn't come close to the 151 manatees that died during a... |
Cold stress syndrome can occur when the marine mammals encounter water below 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 Celsius) for a prolonged period. Manatees experience hypothermia, their organs start to shut down and their skin begins to slough off. |
Wildlife officials said another 10 manatees died statewide last month because of boat collisions. |
A 27-year-old woman was allegedly raped by a cab driver while returning home here after completing her shift at a Gurgaon-based finance company, police said Saturday. |
The incident took place Friday night after the woman boarded a cab provided by her company. |
The driver, 44, allegedly offered a spiked drink to the woman. When she became unconscious, he raped her. |
The woman, a resident of north Delhi's Inderlok area, regained consciousness Saturday morning and realised that she had been raped. |
She approached the Sarai Rohilla police station and lodged a complaint against the cab driver. |
Police said they have identified the driver but he is still on the run. |

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Joe Whitney scored 12:12 into overtime to lift second-seeded Boston College to a 4-3 victory over No. 1 seed Miami of Ohio in the in NCAA Division I Northeast Regional final on Sunday. |
The Eagles (22-11-8), who will be making their third straight Frozen Four appearance and 21st overall, will play North Dakota on April 10 in Denver. |
North Dakota advanced with a 3-2 overtime victory against Wisconsin on Sunday. |
The other Frozen Four matchup is Notre Dame against Michigan. |
Whitney, who had a goal and assist in the semifinal win over Minnesota on Saturday, scored off the rebound of Dan Bertram's shot with a sweeping, backhanded shot while he was laying on the ice in front of goaltender Jeff Zatkoff. |
Nick Petrecki, Nathan Gerbe and Ben Smith also scored for Boston College. |
Miami (33-8-1) was knocked out of the NCAA tourney for the third straight year by BC. |
The RedHawks, looking for their first trip to the Frozen Four, lost 4-0 to BC is last year's regional final. |
Ryan Jones, the RedHawks' leading scorer, banged home a shot from the edge of the crease for his 31st goal, tying the game at 9:02 of the third. |

Fourteen seconds later, Gerbe tied it when he converted Brian Gibbons' cross-ice pass. |
After BC goalie John Muse made a nice save on Miami's 2-on-1 break, Bertram stole the puck at the RedHawks' blue line, started a 2-on-1 break and fed Smith, who slipped a wrister between Zatkoff's pads at 18:46. |
The RedHawks, the highest scoring team in the nation, started quickly for the second straight game. Palmer scored off the rebound of Alec Martinez's shot 1:30 into the game. |
Zatkoff had not allowed more than two goals in the last seven games. |
Note: The small crostini pictured here work well for appetizers for a party. But for a meal, create larger crostini to suit the occasion. If you can’t find brioche, use any thick-cut bread. From “The Chef Next Door,” by Amanda Freitag. |
To make the crostini: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place brioche rounds on a baking sheet. |
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the Old Bay seasoning. |
Generously brush the seasoned melted butter onto each brioche round and toast in the oven until just lightly golden, which will take only a couple of minutes, so watch carefully. Remove and set aside to cool. |
To make the crab salad: In a large bowl combine the crabmeat, celery and chives. Add the vinaigrette and gently combine with your hands or a spoon, taking care not to break up the chunks of crabmeat, until all the ingredients are well dressed. Refrigerate. |
Just before serving, top the brioche rounds with the chilled crabmeat salad, garnish each with a sprig of chervil and serve. |
Note: You will have extra vinaigrette, if using for the crab. Use it as a salad dressing or to dress up grilled chicken or drizzle over vegetables. From “The Chef Next Door,” by Amanda Freitag. |
Combine mustard, lemon juice, dry mustard and salt. Stream in oil, whisking vigorously to emulsify. Check the seasoning and adjust as necessary. |
The financial overseers of Long Island's Roman Catholic diocese say that its reserves are barely adequate, disputing an accountant's criticism that it has been hoarding funds. |
''At most, you can argue the reserve is adequate,'' said Lewis S. Ranieri, a businessman and member of the Finance Council of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, covering Nassau and Suffolk Counties. |
The council on Friday issued a statement on the reserves in response to an analysis by H. Richard Grafer, a former partner in the Arthur Andersen accounting firm. The analysis, released this week by members of Voice of the Faithful, a lay group critical of the diocese, contended that $119 million in diocese reserves is... |
Mr. Ranieri, a founder of an investment firm, Hyperion Partners, faulted the analysis in an interview at diocesan offices here. |
Friends of Mr. Grafer said he was away and could not be reached for comment. |
The council said that Mr. Grafer glossed over important facts. For example, the council said that a $46 million reserve helps cover self-insurance for workers compensation, general and automobile liability and properties like churches, hospitals and schools valued at $2.6 billion. |
An $11 million fund is for litigation. Another $21 million is the ''deposit and loan pool,'' part of which has been lent to needy parishes and may not be repaid, Mr. Ranieri said. |
For 10 years, the diocese has used its reserves to balance its annual operating budgets, rather than to build more reserves, Mr. Ranieri said. |
Incredibly, three major Democratic candidates for president have already voiced their support for reparations. That is, they endorse the concept of offering compensation to the descendants of slaves and to those affected by America's history of racial discrimination. None of the three candidates supporting reparations ... |
First, we must understand that reparations enjoy minimal public support. Although a majority of blacks seem to like the idea, according to a 2016 Marist poll around 70% of Americans oppose reparations. The Democrats who have opened the door to reparations payments – former HUD Secretary Julian Castro of Texas, Sen. Kam... |
As it turns out, however, the unpopularity of reparations is the least of the many, many reasons to oppose them. Reparations are based on the simple (and seductively commonsensical) idea that those who have been harmed by the actions of another should be compensated for that harm. In the case of American racism, though... |
