From the time Navy signed an agreement a year ago to play in this year’s Poinsettia on Dec. 23, the bowl’s officials had their sights set on San Diego State as a possible opponent because the teams’ 2010 meeting, won by the Aztecs, drew a record crowd to Qualcomm Stadium of more than 48,000 for the bowl.

Dog Follows Athletes Through Mud And Water, And Melts Hearts : The Two-Way : NPR
“After a stray dog in Ecuador met a team of Swedish adventure athletes, he grew so attached to the squad that he ran for miles and swam along to keep up with them. Now Arthur the dog is world-famous — and it all started with a meatball.”
“Sweden’s Peak Performance team was in Ecuador this month to compete in the Adventure Racing World Championship, in which athletes hike, kayak, and bike during a 430-mile endurance race through the Amazonian rain forest. It’s the kind of race where athletes try to keep moving day and night (see an example).”
“Just before starting one stage, the team’s Mikael Lindnord made friends with a dog, sharing a meatball with him. Lindnord thought that would be the end of it — but then the dog followed him, and essentially forced his way onto the team.”

Why science fiction matters – Vox

Sci-fi has a reputation for being a clubhouse for white-boy nerds, but for Butler, an African American woman from Southern California who endured a series of degrading low-wage jobs while developing her voice as a writer, reading and writing science fiction actually enabled her to transcend racism and sexism.
Science fiction-by letting her imagine and create new worlds on the page-was a conduit to feelings of citizenship.”

“DEL MAR — Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome likely will race at Del Mar on Nov. 29, according to his trainer Art Sherman, in a race that could affect the outcome of Eclipse Award voting for Horse of the Year and top 3-year-old.
Sherman said Wednesday that he nominated the 3-year-old son of Lucky Pulpit to the Grade I Hollywood Derby at 1 1/8 miles on the turf course for 3-year-olds that day, and the Grade III, $200,000 Native Diver at 1 1/8 miles on the Polytrack against older horses on the same card. Sherman said he prefers to run California Chrome on the turf.”
