    British endurance swimmer Lewis Pugh is embarking on the “most dangerous swims ever undertaken in the world” to call for a vast protected area in Antarctic waters. The swimmer is taking to the waters of Antarctica’s Southern Ocean, braving freezing temperatures, leopard seals and killer whales in nothing more than his Speedo swimwear to raise awareness of the need to protect the region’s pristine Ross Sea.

    When a young rebel considers taking a plunge, he envisions the consequences of challenging everything he’s been told. For over 100 years, Audi has embraced that same challenger spirit. You’ll see it in our cars, our company, and in everything that we do.

    A former star swimmer at Stanford University pleaded not guilty today to five counts of sexual assault for allegedly raping a drunk and unconscious woman outside an on-campus fraternity party last month, prosecutors said.

    Brock Allen Turner, 19, was charged last week with five felony counts of sexual assault. Deputies allegedly found him pinned by two good Samaritans who encountered him on top of the woman outside the Kappa Alpha house at 664 Lomita Court on Jan. 18, according to a report by Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.

    If convicted of the charges, Turner could face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, district attorney’s spokesman Sean Webby said today.
