It's been close to nine months since Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner floated above Earth in a small, pressurized space capsule and became the first person to break the speed of sound in a free fall. In an interview with Business Insider during a visit to New York City, the 43-year-old revealed how he mentally and physically prepared for his record-breaking October jump. Fear can be your friend as long as you're able to control it, Baumgartner explained, but "as soon as fear turns into panic, you lose it," he said. To maintain focus, Baumgartner paid attention to his breathing and thought about "good things," like success, he told us. The Austrian also talked about his meeting with iconic astronaut Neil Armstrong before the supersonic leap, a conversation that focused on what to eat and how to pee.

BlueJackets get going this week; Big day for Baumgartner

The Kitsap BlueJackets jump into West Coast League baseball play this week. The Medford Rogues and Victoria HarbourCats join the college wood-bat league this summer, giving the WCL 11 teams. Yakima will make it 12 teams in 2014. The Jackets open a three-game series at Longview against Cowlitz on Wednesday. Kitsap’s home opener is Saturday at 6:35 p.m. against Medford at Gene Lobe Fields at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds and Events Center. I talked to outfielder Daniel Jewett and manager Ryan Parker over the weekend. Look for the story on Tuesday. Jewett’s a North Kitsap grad who spent a red-shirt season at NCAA Division I Nebraska-Omaha. He had to sit out this season after transferring from D2 Truman State in Missouri. Jewett figures to be a mainstay for the BlueJackets that Parker’s thinking about starting him in the opener because he’s familiar with the hard-throwing right-hander. Parker, who doubles as Olympic College’s head coach, will be starting his second year as head man with the BlueJackets. He assisted Matt Acker four years previously. Other locals who will be wearing the BlueJackets’ uniforms: Daniel Orr, a Kingston grad who is coming off a very solid season for NWAACC champion Everett. Orr, a first baseman, hit .362 with 3 homers and a team-high 50 RBI for the Trojans. He was all-North Division and also made the all-tourney NWAACC team. Everett beat Pierce 4-1 in Friday’s title game. Vince Sablan from South Kitsap, w ...

Day in the Life of a Rice Farmer: A Film by Alexander Baumgartner

Day in the Life of a Rice Farmer, a short film by Alexander Baumgartner, follows one man’s work from sunrise to sunset as he prepares food, takes care of his animals, and tends to his rice crop on ARC Golden Farms in the Philippines. Produced entirely without words or external music, Baumgartner’s film provides an accurate experience of both place and people. Q&A with Alexander Baumgartner How did you become interested in this subject and how did you find this particular man to track through the day? My curiosity began when I read that a country like the Philippines had to import rice. While traveling there, I began asking questions as to how this could be the case. In the South I then met with the Filipino members of the BiosDynamis Association. The Association buys rice from small farmers at fair prices and sells it for them. The sales are impossible for the small farmers to do by themselves, as the high speculations in the food market could result in their financial ruin. The Association had an insight into the deadly consequences of herbicides and pesticides and consequently advocated for organically grown rice, offering education and training in seed care. The impulse came from the local people and was not an external “mission.” The strength present in this local ownership impressed me and I asked to be put in touch with a farmer. Still from “Day in the Life of a Rice Farmer” by Alexander Baumgartner Was there anything that ...

Oregon Baseball Double Header: Healy and Baumgartner Lead Oregon in Doubleheader

Tyler Baumgartner led the way, falling a triple short of the cycle as Oregon overcame an early shock to the system and bounced the Dons from the regional 6-1. The Ducks responded to a first inning home run with two of their own. USF also committed three errors on the game which would contribute to two of Oregon's runs. Cole Irvin came in and pitched a complete game, striking out 9 and scattering 6 hits. "I was in control. I was comfortable. I was comfortable the whole game even after the home run. It was a very satisfying feeling," Irvin said on his performance which kept the Ducks playing. The win paved the way for Oregon to face Rice in the second game of a double header on Sunday. The noon game found itself starting in familiar territory as Justin Maffei took Cole Irvin deep to left field in the top of the first to give the Dons an early 1-0 lead. Irvin would be able to settle down after the early blast and retired the next nine batters he faced. However, unlike the last two games in the regional, the Ducks brought their bats against San Francisco. Tyler Baumgartner would get the hitting going for Oregon as he singled through the middle in the third and Mitchell Tolman would bring him in with a sacrifice fly to right field. The inning did not end without controversy as Ryan Hambright got caught up in a rundown causing Ryon Healy to try and score on the play. Healy appeared to beat the tag on the play but was called out by the ...
