Wind delays Austrian's edge of space jump in US - AFP [fornadablog.blogspot.com]
(my response) As NBC cameras aired the scene live during the network's afternoon telecast on Wednesday, an American water polo player grabbed the bathing suit of a Spanish opponent, accidentally pulling it down far enough to reveal her nipple was a quick shot and could have been missed by people other than eagle-eyed observers or Janet Jackson fans. There was a ripple over the nipple on Twitter, a sort of "did I just see what I thought I saw?" conversation that's much easier to have on social media. As recently as Athens in 2004, you could have seen this and been left to wonder by yourself. Now you can go on Twitter and post, "I think I just saw a nipple!" and have it be confirmed by dozens of others. One user wrote, "I didn't know water polo was so erotic." Water polo looks tough enough from above the water. Diving into the depths of the pool reveals a chaotic scene of ferocity. Kicking, grabbing, pulling, punching, struggling -- it's all legal underwater. Players thrive on it. As NBC showed on Wednesday, it might be most dangerous to camera operators. This is my response to the video of the women's water polo wardrobe malfunction at the 2012 summer olympics. During the event a woman pulled down the swimsuit of another woman and exposed her to the camera for a brief second. Many people were shocked by this flash slip that was shown on live tv. Note: This is a response video. I very clearly indicated in the title that this is my response to the topic. I am following all ...

Wind delays Austrian's edge of space jump in US
LOS ANGELES â€" US organizers of an Austrian daredevil's record-breaking attempt to jump from the edge of space have delayed the mission by a day due to forecast wind, they said Friday.
Felix Baumgartner, aiming to break a number of records including being the first man to exceed the speed of sound in free fall, is now scheduled to jump Tuesday instead of Monday over the US state of New Mexico.
"The reason for the delay is a strong cold front with sharply colder temperatures... over the weekend," said the organizers of the Red Bull Stratos mission.
"While the weather will greatly improve on Monday .. wind speeds are expected to be above acceptable levels for a safe launch on Monday morning," at up to 24 kmh (15 mph), said meteorologist Don Day.
Baumgartner aims to ascend 120,000 feet -- nearly 23 miles, (36 kilometers) -- in a capsule taken up to the edge of the stratosphere by a gigantic helium balloon, before stepping out in a pressurized suit to fall back to earth.
The 43-year-old has been training for five years for the jump, during which he will be in free fall for five minutes before opening a parachute at 5,000 feet up to float back to the ground.
The biggest danger he faces is spinning out of control, which could exert G forces and make him lose consciousness -- a controlled dive from the capsule in essential, putting him in a head-down position to increase speed.
Among the records he is seeking to break is that of the highest ever jump -- at over three times the average airliner cruising altitude.
The Red Bull Stratos mission, backed by a 100-strong team of experts and centered on the launch site in Roswell, New Mexico, also hopes to contribute to medical and aeronautical research.
Organizers say that despite the delay from the originally planned Monday launch, the attempt will "most probably" go ahead Tuesday morning.
"The good news is that we usually have a day or two after this type of cold front moves through where the weather can be favorable for a balloon launch," said Day.

Question by Shwester: Do non-calorie flavored "water" drinks count toward your daily water consumption? I am confused what counts as "water" toward my daily water consumption goal and what does not. Decaf coffee counts toward the total water consumed but only the first cup. Water with carbonation does not count because of the carbonation. Is that correct? What about things like Crystal Light or similar? If I add a Crystal Light mix to my bottled water is it no longer contributing toward my total daily water consumption? Best answer for Do non-calorie flavored "water" drinks count toward your daily water consumption?:

ALL liquids do!
The flavored water is fine, as long as it dont have any carbonation in it... When you add Crystal light it really dont count because you are diluting the water.
Flavored water drinks do count, but not as much. The sugar substitutes create a diuretic effect which causes you to lose some of the water. I would count it as a .5 to 1. Also, they have been saying recently that you don't need 8 glasses of water per day, but rather you need 8 glasses worth. Fruits, vegetables, soup (low sodium), all count towards this total. The latest news is to drink when you're thirsty. Our bodies are made to tell us what we need.
Liquid is liquid, whether you've added flavoring or not. They say water because that's what you should be drinking. It's pure and doesn't contain man-made chemicals (i.e sweeteners). It does a great job of making you feel full. Coffee, even decaf, is a diuretic so too much defeats the purpose. Plus, if you add milk & sugar, you've added to the calories. Carbonation also does not make you feel full, just gassy, and you shouldn't be drinking more than a glass or two of bubbles a day anyway. Crystal light and similar contain man-made chemicals that may or may not be safe (saccharin and aspartame I'm looking at you!). You should be getting at least 2 glasses of milk in your diet everyday too.
Yes, it does count towards your water count. The carbonated things won't, because it takes water to digest the carbonation...so you lose water. Also one hundred percent juices will not...because your body will hold them in your gut as food to digest them, instead of absorbing for water. But crystal light is okay and will count. Be careful how much you drink at first though, they use splenda (aka sucralose) and man that will give you the squirts if your body is not used to it...so don't drink too much until you are used to it. You know, I think PUR water filtration systems offers a system that will flavor your water as well...and there are a couple of different flavors.
