What began as an outing to celebrate his graduation from college at the age of 21, turned into a full time position and hobby for Ben Lowe. 591 jumps later he still feels the exhilaration of the jump, the 120 mile per hour wind against his face and the near minute of free-fall. But the risk taking doesn’t stop there for Ben, he also loves to BASE jump. Cliffs, bridges, mountain tops . . . you name it, he’ll jump from it. Visit Ben on MOLI.com
SoBe® is giving adventure-seekers the chance to “Try Everything,” from new flavors and drinks to new experiences with the launch of an immersive marketing campaign that kicks off May 18.
“Try Everything” begins with a television ad featuring Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim pitching ace Jered Weaver who’s inspired by SoBe® Lifewater® flavor, Fuji Apple Pear to try something new on the pitcher’s mound. Instead of firing his signature fastballs, Weaver’s hurling 95-mile-per-hour Fuji apples -- with not so predictable results. Another SoBe spot featuring a staring contest with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2011 Rookie of the Year, model Kate Upton will air this summer.

Red Hawk Elementary’s Red Hawk Movement, Erie, Colo. – Movement and exercise are more than activities at Red Hawk Elementary, they are foundational elements of the school culture. As a new public school in the St. Vrain Valley School District located outside of Denver, Red Hawk built physical activity into the plan from day one. Using a rotating daily “movement calendar,” students gain 40 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on a daily basis, in addition to scheduled PE class and recess. These structured routines are taught by the professional PE staff outdoors or in the gym, and can be repeated in the classroom with student leaders taking charge. Strategically placed 20-minute blocks occur once in the morning to increase energy and attentiveness at the start of the day, and once in the afternoon immediately before math and science, the most challenging academic subjects. Favorite activities include the ‘Red Hawk Walk,’ in which students power-walk along designated routes throughout the building, as well as in-class cardio and dance breaks. Each Friday the week ends with “All-School Movement,” when all 460 students, faculty and staff head outside to participate in a coordinated fitness routine set to popular music.

Thirteen 12-meter antennas manufactured by General Dynamics SATCOM Technologies have been successfully installed at the 16,500-foot-high Chajnantor plateau in Chile, home to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) astronomical observatory. Located in the Andes mountains, the 115-ton, highly specialized antennas form part of an 11-mile-wide international astronomy project. When it is completed in 2013, scientists will use the observatory to study portions of the universe at a level of detail that is beyond what current astronomical technologies provide, studying the origins of galaxies, stars, and planets.
