The Problem:

Released two weeks before Jurassic Park, it’s possible that Super Mario — which, like Steven Spielberg’s movie, featured well-respected actors engaging with state-of-the-art CGI and a plot dealing with evolution and dinosaurs — would have fallen victim to the zero-sum economics that usually creates a winner and a loser out of two films made around the same time about the same thing (see: Snow White and the Huntsman vs. Mirror Mirror; Capote and … the Other Truman Capote Movie).

Del says: Grantland I like you and all…..but how are you going to try and throw a Dante’s Peak/Inferno down on Jurassic Park/Super Mario Bros. That’s just stupid.

rac:

“CHAPTER ONE” is now available worldwide!

RAC started a little over 5 years ago and this is in many ways a celebration of that. I wouldn’t be writing this without your support so I can’t tell you how grateful I am. Sometimes I spend an hour or two liking every tumblr post that talks about us. It just means that much.

I think we have a serious chance at making into some kind of iTunes chart, so tell your friends and help us spread the word.

“But if you’re looking for that one, out-of-nowhere story, it just might be the Mets. You never know what the Wilpons’ ongoing financial crisis might do to the team’s finances, and David Wright, Johan Santana, and Jason Bay will make an ungodly amount of money, with only one of those players likely to produce a full year of above-average results. But 350 innings of Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler could produce electric results, and the Mets’ biggest weakness — its barren outfield — matches up perfectly with the free-agent market’s biggest area of depth. Just an early hunch before we embark on our final, monthlong scramble until the crowning of this year’s champions.”

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: In anticipation of her 9th birthday, Rachel Beckwith informed her mom that she didn’t want presents; instead, she asked friends and family to donate $9 to charity: water, so that kids her age in Africa would have clean water to drink.

She fell shy of her goal of $300, which is enough to give 15 people clean drinking water. But she pledged to do better when her 10th birthday rolled around.

Tragically, Rachel was killed in a car accident in Seattle just a month after turning 9.

News of the tragedy — and Rachel’s birthday wish — made it around the world, and some 30,000 people gave more than $1.2 million to Rachel’s campaign.

Her mom, Samantha Paul, was blown away:

It made me realize how blessed I am even though I don’t have Rachel with me anymore.

And so on Monday, exactly one year after Rachel’s death, Paul continued her daughter’s campaign with a visit to a village in Ethiopia, where local partners were using funds from Rachel’s campaign to drill wells.

They also had commissioned a marble sign to honor her:

Rachel’s great dream, kindness and vision of a better world will live with and among us forever.

Sixty thousand people in more than 100 villages will drink clean water because of Rachel’s wish.
