Kayakers and snorkelers exploring the Southern California coast spotted an extremely rare oarfish, nicknamed a "doomsday fish" since they are seen in some parts of the world as harbingers of imminent disasters.  It's one of less than two dozen confirmed sightings of an oarfish in the state in over 120 years, according to UC  San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The oarfish is a "strikingly large, odd-looking fish" with a long, silvery, ribbon-shaped body, according to the Ocean Conservatory. The fish can grow to more than 30 feet long, and have large eyes and "foreboding" red spines in a crown-like...

Today we dive into the water polo game from this past Friday, August 23rd. We had the chance to interview two water polo players, Yony Bautista and Philipe Mclean. Yony was the 1st player we interviewed. We asked Yony how long he had played Water Polo. Yony, a high school senior, has been playing water polo for 4 years. He balances practicing and schoolwork by doing all his work before practice. If he is unable to finish his homework he makes sure he completes everything right after practice. Our next interview was with Philipe Mclean. Philipe Mclean has been playing Water Polo for 3 years. One reason why Philipe chose to be in water polo was so he could get out of having PE class. Lastly, we interviewed a viewer of the sport/game. Her name was Kamaile Atoe. Atoe has been into water polo for a while because of her brother. She has always been watching the games and also plays for the Buena Park girls’ water polo team. Atoe plays Varsity and Junior Varsity. We asked her what she thought was the most exciting thing that had happened during August 23rd’s game. She replied that a block made by Liam during the 1st quarter was such a good move. When asked what is something people don’t know about water polo, Kamaile said “I think a lot of people underestimate how hard it is”.
