FAST TWITCH

leaving new york

If you missed it, the women's final of the US Open took a turn into the surreal. The scene was so bizarre, so unsettling, that Mrs. Slugball said she woke up with a knot in her stomach on Sunday AM after watching a late replay of the match on Saturday night. This report is a good recap of the mayhem that went down.

In Durango, Colorado, where locals have access to great mountain biking, skiing and natural beauty, the suicide rate is almost three-times the national per capita average. This report delves into the complicated reasons behind the problem and the early stages of new outreach efforts some towns are extending to their communities. (Outside Magazine)

Manchester City was an English soccer after-run. In 2008, always playing second fiddle to some other team, Manchester United in particular, the team's owner was a fugitive of the law, team finances were in shambles and the entire team culture was hapless. Then Sheikh Mansour of Abu Dhabi bought the team and the Premier League was never the same. Mark Ogden reports on the rise of a soccer dynasty. (ESPN)

 

 

cat's cradle

A small village in India has been ravaged by a tiger. Authorities believe a five year-old tigress is responsible for the death of 13 locals. The tigress has proven to be very clever and difficult to catch. If that's not enough, government protections are potentially limiting the village's ability to hunt the tigress down. This story details the quest to find the big cat and the veil of fear over the village.
