WASHINGTON — Civilian researchers say they have located the wreck of the Indianapolis, the World War II heavy cruiser that played a critical role in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima before being struck by Japanese torpedoes. The sinking of the Indianapolis remains the Navy’s single worst loss at sea. The fate of its crew — nearly 900 were killed, many by sharks, and just 316 survived — was one of the Pacific war’s more horrible and fascinating tales. The expedition crew of Research Vessel Petrel... Читать дальше...

HOUSTON - The Astros simply own the A’s to the point that they are now Oakland’s inspiration. In the first two games at Minute Maid Park, Oakland has scored just one run. The A’s fell 3-0 on Saturday, hitting into six double plays and wasting another decent outing by Kendall Graveman. They’ve dropped 19 of their past 21 games against the Astros. Just four years ago, Oakland took 15 of 19 games from Houston en route to the division title. Now the Astros are in first place and the A’s in last. Читать дальше...

The quarterback competition may have finally started to untangle itself, and the defense continued its opportunistic tendencies as Cal had its most game-like practice of training camp Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Head coach Justin Wilcox didn’t say that any decisions had been made at quarterback, but the four-headed competition appears to have be whittled down to a three-man race. Junior Chase Forrest attempted only three passes — two of which were intercepted. Sophomore Ross Bowers... Читать дальше...
