It's Brandon Pettigrew, OSU's superman against Texas Tech
STILLWATER — If Oklahoma State plays in a bowl game one play might be remembered most. In December when bowl bids are handed out it's possible tight end Brandon Pettigrew's 54-yard reception could wind up being a season-saving play.
Pettigrew's touchdown gave the Cowboys a 49-45 lead Saturday against Texas Tech with 1:37 left, a lead preserved by the defense. "It was a huge play and a huge win," said offensive coordinator Larry Fedora. "I've been saying since preseason he was a guy a lot of people overlook, that he's pretty special. He's huge to us in this offense." Pettigrew's highlight-reel catch showcased all of his skills, which is why some NFL scouts have speculated the Tyler, Texas, product might turn pro a year early. "To start with, it was a great catch that he had to reach for," said quarterback Zac Robinson. "He had to stretch out and use all of that 6 (foot) 6." Pettigrew then slipped a tackle, sidestepped another defender, stiff-armed a third tackler and rambled down the sideline for a score. "After he used a little shake (move), I was like, 'OK, here we go,' " Robinson said. "I really hadn't seen that (move) before. Tommy Devereaux did a good job blocking. Then he rumbled downfield, stiff-armed a guy and then the big leap... "Big trees fall hard." Robinson was referring to Pettigrew's dive into the end zone. "That was my Superman (move)," Pettigrew said, smiling. Does he plan to do it again? "No. It hurt." Pettigrew wanted to make sure a Texas Tech defender racing from the other side of the field wouldn't cut him off. "I was just trying to make it," Pettigrew said. "I was that close. I had to make up for last year's OU game, falling down at the 1." It was actually the 2-yard line. But it proved to be a pivotal play. Pettigrew rambled downfield, carrying OU defenders. After he was stopped just short of the end zone, the Sooners halted OSU's momentum with four stops a goal-line stand. This time, Pettigrew found the end zone to help the Cowboys, 2-2, record a much needed win after a disappointing loss at Troy. Orange-clad fans went crazy.

West Ham adds Senegalese striker, Aston Villa snares Colombia star
Aug 15, 2014, 2:06 PM EST
Two notable signings occurred on the eve of the Premier League season, as two teams who wear maroon have added options.
Aston Villa has inked Colombia defensive midfielder Carlos Sanchez from Elche of La Liga to a four-year deal that comes on the heels of an undisclosed fee.
Meanwhile, West Ham United snapped up Senegal's Diafra Sakho from Metz, where he scored 43 goals over his past seasons in French's second and third divisions.
[ MORE: Friday's transfer rumor roundup — Liverpool striker search, Blind to Utd ]
Sanchez, 28, was integral to Colombia's World Cup quarterfinal run this summer and will play atop a back four that added Philippe Senderos and Aly Cissokho to captain Ron Vlaar's outfit.
The 44-times capped Colombian was at Elche for just a year after spending 2007-2013 in France with Valenciennes.
Sakho, 24, will help fill the gap left by another long-term injury to Andy Carroll, and joins a strike force that added Ecuador's Enner Valencia and Argentine forward Mauro Zarate this summer.
He's been capped twice by Senegal and is the reigning Ligue 2 player of the year, an honor previously won by Newcastle's Yoan Gouffran and Arsenal's Olivier Giroud during their days in France's second flight.

Manzel Midnight Theme
- Words: Nick Follett
- Label: Dopebrother
With every unearthing of a "lost" record, it seems less likely that a true masterpiece is still waiting to be found. It is, then, a special event when a much-mythologized classic comes to light, as Kenny Dope has done with Manzel's Midnight Theme. Already familiar to the masses as a heavily sampled record, Dope and partner the Undercover Brother re-edited this paragon. Clearly a studio project, Manzel forgoes a "band" sound in sake of crystalline production and solos whose existence seems to be that of an arrangement enabler. Sharing in similar rhythmic and structural concepts as Herbie Hancock's Man Child (not to mention an almost identical keyboard set up) Midnight Theme relies less on virtuosic performance than killer dance floor sensibilities.

Sandi Thom to Release FLESH AND BLOOD, 8/27
Scottish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Sandi Thom, best known for her 2006 No.1 hit single I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair), today confirmed the August 27th release of her fourth studio album Flesh and Blood. Produced by the Black Crowes' Rich Robinson, and featuring a duet with Buffy Sainte-Marie, the album and was recorded at 16 Tons studio, Nashville, Tennessee. Sandi will embark on a nationwide UK tour in support of the new album, which begins at the London Islington Academy on Thursday November 1st 2012.
Sandi's new song, Sun Comes Crashing Down will be available as a free download from www.sandithom.com on Monday May 21st.
The album features an all-star ensemble led by the Black Crowes' Rich Robinson, drummer Steve Gorman and fellow Black Crowe and widely travelled session guitarist Audley Freed, respecTed Nashville stars Mike Webb (keys/Dobro) and James Haggerty (bass) complete the line-up with special guest performances from Rolling Stones collaborator, saxophonist Bobby Keys, and stunning duet with the legendary singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie on her 1992 classic The Big Ones Get Away.
Flesh and Blood is a significant release, being Sandi's sophomore studio album, released solely by her independent labelGuardian Angels Records (distributed in the UK by Nova through Universal Music Operations). The highly anticipated new album radiates the raunchy blues rock bravado of the opening track Help Me, followed by the country-flavoured Leadbellyclassic In The Pines. The album also features the strutting, clavinet-led Stormy Weather; and the emotionally compelling finaleLay Your Burden Down.
Sandi really stretched herself and made a bold new album," reflects Rich Robinson, "Her songs are honest, vulnerable and very strong. Her vocal abilities are showcased really well, as is her guitar work, and harp playing. I think Sandi's made a great record. It was a joy to work with her."
Classic rock producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, The Black Crowes, Joe Bonamassa) also mixed two tracks, Sun Comes Crashing Down and a duet with Buffy Sainte Marie on the latter's classic song, Big Ones Get Away. "Sandi's writing is fantastic," says Shirley, "and her singing is wonderful. Sun Comes Crashing Down has all the right ingredients to be a hit."

Cricinfo staff
October 17, 2008
At 2.31pm on a hot Mohali Friday, Sachin Tendulkar steered Peter Siddle towards the third-man boundary for three runs to break Brian Lara's record for most Test runs. The record stood for nearly two years after Lara played his final Test and it was inevitable that Tendulkar would eventually break it. As the day progressed Tendulkar scored his 50th half-century and became the first player to cross the 12,000-run mark.
The disappointingly small crowd, built largely of school kids, immediately got on its feet to salute the feat, and fireworks, which continued for three minutes, went off at the PCA Stadium. Tendulkar raised his bat in the air, took his helmet off, and looked up at the sky, as is his routine when he gets to a hundred. Almost all the Australians, wherever placed in the field, came to congratulate him. Ricky Ponting, the man most likely to challenge his status of being the top run-getter, was the first man to shake his hand. Sourav Ganguly, Tendulkar's partner at the nonstriker's end, reminded him that he was there when he scored his record 35th Test century.
This also brought an end to the soap-opera-type frenzied anticipation for the record. Tendulkar was expected to overtake Lara in Sri Lanka recently, but he endured a poor series with the bat, scoring just 95 runs in three Tests. Then in the series-opener in Bangalore, during a fine match-saving effort in the second innings, it seemed he would get to the record, but he gifted his wicket when 15 short.
Even today the anxiety around was palpable. During the time he got to 15, India lost two wickets in moving from 146 to 179 in 10.2 overs. While he scored at a fair rate, he didn't get nearly as much strike during the period as he would have wanted. While he played 23 balls, VVS Laxman and Ganguly faced 19 each. It was fitting, in a way, that he achieved the record against Australia, a team he has tormented several times in the past.
Coincidentally, Lara too achieved the world record against Australia, when he went past Allan Border's tally of 11,174 runs during the Adelaide Test in 2005. They remain the only three players to cross the 11,000-run mark in Tests. Though it is uncertain how long Tendulkar will prolong his Test career - which has lasted 19 years - the two players who stand the best chance of beating his eventual tally are Rahul Dravid (10,302) and Ponting (10,239).

"We are trying to get mattresses off the front porch," Williams said, adding in a broader perspective the initiative applies to removing indoor furniture from the porch. To not do so "creates a fire hazard" and invites "vermin." The Mayor indicated that a proposed amendment "would not be hostile," but comparing it to "legislatively loving it to death" would lead to an action that does "nothing. We do think the amendment does harm to the ordinance." Accessing the amendment as fair to those of "wealthy means" and "less fortunate," City Attorney Scott McClure and Williams explained that "this is not something we crafted ourselves," as the administration looked at other cities such as Columbus, Ohio, and those in Indiana, Michigan and Florida. "In Columbus, it helped open the door for code inspectors, Fire Department, and the Police Department ," Williams explained. Committee member Gary Bunn asked that the ordinance be placed before council in its original form. It was seconded by Public Safety Committee Chairman, David Ball. Councilman McGuffin voted with the majority. Committee members Frances Jackson and Rebecca Thacker did not attend.

Rosberg feared late safety car
Sutton Images Enlarge Nico Rosberg admits he feared his huge lead would be wiped out in the closing stages of the German Grand Prix by a safety car period after Adrian Sutil's late spin on the final corner left him prone on the track. After leading into Turn 1 the race was Rosberg's to lose, but on lap 49 it looked like a safety car was about to shake-up proceedings when Sutil's car came to a stop at the start of the pit straight. In the end Charlie Whiting was happy for marshals to run across the track and remove Sutil's stricken car to one side of the circuit, which Rosberg says he did not think would be the outcome. "Yes, I definitely got a bit worried when I saw Sutil's car out...

Brazil hopes that during a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping it can boost ties with its biggest trade partner beyond the exchange of commodities for manufactured goods, but that may be wishful thinking.
Accords China will sign with Brazil when Xi meets with President Dilma Rousseff on Thursday focus on improving infrastructure to make sure raw materials China is hungry for make it to port, with railways a top priority.
Brazilian officials are portraying Xi's state visit as a milestone in deepening a strategic partnership that will lead to Chinese investments in Brazil's manufacturing industry.
Trade between China and Brazil soared to $83.3 billion last year from $3.2 billion in 2002, with iron ore, soy and oil making up the bulk of Brazilian exports.
The Chinese have been making investment promises for years and failed to deliver. Three years after announcing plans to invest $2 billion in a soy-crushing plant and a giant storage hub in western Bahia, Chongqing Grain Group Corp has only managed to bulldoze a 100-hectare (250-acre) field.
There have been few success stories in the trickle of investment that has come in. Dongfeng Motor Corporation, one of China's largest automotive groups, has shelved a plan to build a 1 billion Brazilian reais ($450 million) truck factory in Brazil after falling out with its Brazilian partner.
Analysts say the Chinese are not interested in investing in manufacturing in Latin America, especially in Brazil where labor costs are high and regulatory hurdles abound.
"The Brazilians have to understand that Brazil is not terribly attractive," said Riordan Roett, Western Hemisphere director at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington. "There is no growth in credit and the government has not delivered on promises to improve infrastructure. The Chinese are very much aware of that."
Unless Brazil can become more competitive, Chinese investment will go to Asian countries, or those in the burgeoning Pacific alliance, like Mexico, Roett said.
Brazilian officials say China wants to enter partnerships to build railways to ship grains and minerals to Brazilian ports.
Projects under consideration include railways to the ports of Ilheus in the state of Bahia and Itaqui in Maranhao, which are closer to the Panama Canal and would lower freight costs.
China is also interested in studying a railway across the Andes to the Pacific coast of Peru, which could shorten the trade route significantly, a trade ministry official said.
Brazilian officials expect no progress during Xi's visit in resolving an impasse over China's refusal to allow giant, bulk iron ore carriers used by Brazil's Vale SA to dock at Chinese ports, forcing the miner to transship cargoes from ports in the Philippines and Malaysia and increasing its costs.
Brazilian efforts to manufacture goods in China have also run into problems. China has not approved plans by Brazil's biggest bus maker Marcopolo to build a factory or plane maker Embraer to refit its plant in Harbin to make E-190 passenger planes.

Product description
The new novel from the winner of the Commonwealth WriterÂ's Prize, The Hired Man is a taut, powerful novel of a small town and its dark wartime secrets, unwittingly brought into the light by a family of outsiders.Aminatta Forna has established herself as one of our most perceptive and uncompromising chroniclers of war and the way it reverberates, sometimes imperceptibly, in the daily lives of those touched by it. With The Hired Man, she has delivered a tale of a Croatian village after the War of Independence, and a family of newcomers who expose its secrets.Duro is off on a morningÂ's hunt when he sees something one rarely does in Gost: a strange car. Later that day, he overhears its occupants, a British woman, Laura, and her two children, who have taken up residence in a house Duro knows well. He offers his assistance getting their water working again, and soon he is at the house every day, helping get it ready as their summer cottage, and serving as LauraÂ's trusted confidant. But the other residents of Gost are not as pleased to have the interlopers, and as Duro and LauraÂ's daughter Grace uncover and begin to restore a mosaic in the front that has been plastered over, Duro must be increasingly creative to shield the family from the townÂ's hostility, and his own past with the houseÂ's former occupants. As the inhabitants of Gost go about their days, working, striving to better themselves and their town, and arguing, the townÂ's volatile truths whisper ever louder. A masterpiece of storytelling haunted by lost love and a restrained menace, this novel recalls Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee and AnilÂ's Ghost by Michael Ondaatje. The Hired Man confirms Aminatta Forna as one of our most important writers.

Review quote
Praise for "The Hired Man" "A masterful novel by a gifted writer lays bare the secrets and scars of past conflicts . . . [Forna] reveals her story at a pace of measured suspense until it reads like a slow-burn thriller. Her prose quietly grips us by the throat and then tightens its hold. It is storytelling at its most taut." --Arifa Akbar, "The Independent" (UK) "If her second novel "The Memory of Love," set in Africa, confirmed Forna's flair for writing about war and its aftermath, "The Hired Man" seals her reputation as arguably the best writer of fiction in this field. . . . The intelligence of Forna's storytelling is testament to a woman who . . . has deep emotional resources. . . . This is a novel to be passed on judiciously, like a special gift, a tale of two summers you may well want to read twice."--Jackie Annesley, "London Evening Standard" "Forna writes sensitively about the power of a history that is both terrible and banal. . . . Duro's voice carries the narrative with a solidity and complexity that is very satisfying.."--Helen Dunmore, "The Times" (London) "[Forna] has a terrific ability to evoke the poisonous atmosphere of culpability and denial from which civil conflicts emerge. . . . [and] the atmosphere of festering tension in which perpetrators of the most grotesque acts of violence continue to live side by side. . . . "The Hired Man" triumphantly proves that the story need not always remain the same."--Alfred Hickling, "The Guardian" (UK) "Aminatta Forna . . . crafts a story that initially seduces with intense and vivid physical detail, low, sour wit and a suggestion of romance, before twisting--without the reader even fully registering--it into a knotty, powerfully ambiguous allegory for collective trauma and negotiation with historical pain. . . . For all its poignancy and political seriousness, her book also lends a salty, Hemingway-esque enjoyment to its evocations of deadly adventure. . . . It's a sharp,

Hard News: News from home ...,
Okay, let's say Little is indeed the person for the job and he'll take the bull by the horns etc. They're still going to have to either find him a new electorate or perform a particularly radical turnaround in New Plymouth. As Phil Quin wrote before the vote:
In the two elections since Little became Labour's candidate in New Plymouth, National's party vote margin in the electorate has more than doubled from 6,600 to 13,000 votes. After a 5.8 percent two-party swing from Labour to National in 2011, there was a further 6.3 percent swing in New Plymouth this year – roughly three times worse than the nationwide average.
As the electorate candidate, Little also attracted 6,500 fewer electorate votes than in 2008 when the previous Labour member, Harry Duynhoven, lost the seat. After three years of resources and profile as a list MP based partly in New Plymouth, Little managed a 7.8 percent swing against him on the electorate vote this year, to compound the 6.7 percent he suffered in 2011.
It's not credible to stand a leader who does that badly in his own electorate, especially one who also failed to win a majority of caucus and party membership votes in becoming leader. I presume they start looking for a very safe Labour seat for him now.
The finance portfolio is another problem. Parker doesn't want to do the job under Little -- but can Little really choose Cunliffe, after his post-election meltdown?
And Little saying once on the radio that he likes UBI is a long way from going into an election with it. It's a grand idea practised by no country in the world. Of course, there has to be a first one, but it would be a bit odd ditching an orthodox policy like CGT because it was too strange and challenging for voters but then adopting UBI.
Hard News: News from home ..., in reply to
As I happily acknowledge upfront, much of it is personal disappointment that a close friend didn't get the job I think he's made for. But beyond that, if Little was going to win, it should have been in a landslide. A marginal squeak-by on the basis of union executive diktat is the worst possible starting point.
I agree with everything you've written.
I'd also add that I'm deeply unimpressed with what Little has said on policy, and economic policy in particular. I don't think the capital gains tax policy was well sold (Cunliffe screwed it up badly in the debates) but it addresses a real problem that continues to hurt working people, who pay their taxes while property investors (who are now responsible for a large proportion of sales in the Auckland market) enjoy their tax-free gains. It hurts young people, too. As Parker kept pointing out, the CGT consistently polled better than Labour. And the idea that people didn't vote Labour because it proposed to gradually raise the superannuation age to 67 is just preposterous. But Little's already declared he's ditching both policies.
I get that some people in the party (although, on the evidence, a minority) really hate Robertson, but I'm not really interested in Labour's internal factionalism. Nobody is. I just think this is a really terrible result, and Little doubtless being a decent chap doesn't really alter that.
Hard News: News from home ..., in reply to
Well, no.
Robertson beat Little by the relatively narrow margins of 55/45 among Party Members and 56/44 among the caucus (18 MPs to 14 MPs). Not sure I'd call that "hosed in" exactly !!!
He was the first choice of 16% of his own caucus and 26% of the membership. Robertson was the first choice of 44% of his caucus and 38% of the members. That's a big margin. Even in the two-horse race of Round 3, he won those sectors by 10+ points -- that's a commanding head-to-head margin. Why bother being a Labour Party member when you can be trumped by a tribal bloc vote like that?
The result ends the leadership aspirations of Robertson, easily the best campaigner in the field, and pretty clearly lays waste to the coherent economic philosophy that Parker had been patiently building. I could be wrong, but for now I'm of the view that this result borders on tragedy for Labour.

I certainly have vague anxiety inducing memories of trying to get overstuffed vinyl cases back to NZ via hand luggage.
When Fiona and I came back home to New Zealand with our new baby, we for some reason had a very large luggage allowance, and we'd worked out that we could pack our vinyl (and a PC) into a huge old chest and check the lot in at Victoria station. But the allowance for the train from Victoria to Gatwick was lower than the one for the flight itself and we had to take out kilos of records which I then had to casually tote in an overfull courier pack. We got busted at the boarding gate, but they just put them in the hold for us, after a lot of tut-tutting.
My other main memory is, groggy after 24+ hours of travel, having to pick up the 50kg chest from the moving luggage carousel. And, fortunately, getting it first time.
