...horse races as a way to spur, as it were, youths to become better horsemen and warriors. Some educators leverage the game's current popularity to sneak in their lessons. Emory University math professor Ronald Gould, for example, teaches his freshmen students basic concepts of probability using five-card stud, or for more challenging computations, a seven-card game like Texas Hold...
...League-opening win over Dartmouth. “We had a bit of a game plan against Maine and we stuck to it.” Trimble led Harvard with 15 kills while hitting .542 and adding four blocks. “Suzie’s just a stud,” Mahon said. “She really just knows how to put the ball away.” Crimson freshmen did their part to contribute to the win. Libero Katherine Kocurek notched 16 digs, setter Lily Durwood dished out 26 assists, and right-side hitter Chelsea Ono Horn...

After all, if international football were entirely corrupt, a player sent off for charging down his opponent in sight of goal would be applauded...

The U.S . continued to press , and in the 33rd minute Carlos Bocanegra went close with a shot. That was enough for Italian coach Marcelo Lippi, who withdrew stud striker Francesco Totti in the 35th minute and put on his Rotweiller, Gennaro Gattuso, a rough defensive midfielder. Gattuso had barely begun hacking people when the sides were equal, Pablo Mastroeni being dismissed in the 45th minute for what was deemed a harsh tackle, but in reality may have been...
