By Chris Devine at Emirates Old Trafford and Matthew Sherry
Michael Clarke capitalised on winning the toss in the third Investec Ashes Test with arguably his most important hundred.
Leading from the front at a time of need with his side 2-0 down in the five-match series, Australia captain Clarke contributed 125 not out to a score of 303 for three after calling correctly at Emirates Old Trafford.
Clarke's fine innings was complemented by Steven Smith's unbeaten 70 and an attacking 84 from opener Chris Rogers.
The tourists appeared to have ceded the initiative when Rogers became a second victim for Graeme Swann, but Clarke and Smith duly prospered on a typical Manchester surface offering pace, bounce and turn.
Their unbroken fourth-wicket alliance – worth 174 at stumps - merited particular praise given the pressure on Australia's batsmen in the wake of their crushing 347-run defeat at Lord's.
While Smith enjoyed good fortune on occasion, surviving two England reviews and a huge lbw appeal from the luckless Stuart Broad, Clarke delivered a display of high class.
Exhibiting a keenness to use his feet against the dangerous Swann and the ability to leave well against seam, the 32-year-old took charge following Rogers' exit and showed understandable delight upon bringing up his 24th five-day hundred.
Clarke's substantial stand with Smith ensured David Warner, who replaced Phil Hughes in one of three changes to Australia's team, was not required to bat.
Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon were also recalled by Australia, while England fielded an unchanged line-up after Kevin Pietersen was passed fit following a calf strain.
Strong off the front foot on either side of the wicket, but particularly through cover, Rogers was solely responsible for ensuring Australia started the game in positive fashion.
His second Test half-century arrived from just 49 deliveries and contained 10 fours.
However, the left-hander's fluent initial progress was in sharp contrast to opening partner Shane Watson, who laboured to 19 before being held at first slip off Tim Bresnan.
Rogers initially went into his shell following Watson's departure, which came with 76 runs on the board, and only six had been added when Usman Khawaja was caught behind off Swann.
Having been beaten by sharp turn and bounce, Khawaja called for a review but umpire Tony Hill's initial decision was upheld.
England appeared to be seizing control when Swann struck again in mid-afternoon. Perhaps distracted by movement behind the bowler's arm moments earlier, Rogers missed a full ball when attempting to work to leg and was adjudged lbw.
Clarke had been unable to make much of an impact prior to Rogers' departure, but soon exhibited greater confidence in the company of Smith.
The battle between Australia's captain and Swann proved particularly absorbing as Clarke counter-attacked against the turning ball.
Smith also showed a desire to play his strokes after enduring appeals for lbw and caught behind that prompted unsuccessful England reviews, although he was fortunate not to fall for 24.
Broad rapped the batting all-rounder plumb in front, yet umpire Tony Hill remained unmoved and a challenge could not be requested following Smith's earlier reprieves.
That incident summed up a day of misfortune for Broad, who drew a number of false strokes as he sought to claim his 200th Test wicket.
The milestone eluded him, but Clarke was given good reason to celebrate when reaching three figures in the evening sun.
Smith passed 50 soon after and demonstrated his confidence with a crunching pull off James Anderson when the second new ball was taken.
With the pitch playing increasingly well, a number of further boundaries came in the day's remaining overs and England were left hoping a new day would bring a change in fortunes.
Evening Session
6:32pm - STUMPS - Aus 303/3; Clarke 125, Smith 70 - A fine day for the tourists comes to an end with Clarke and Smith's partnership totalling 174. England will have plenty of hard work ahead tomorrow, it seems.
6:25pm - When you win the toss and choose to bat on a good surface, 300 for three is often the dream outcome on day one. Australia are at that point with two overs left.
6:12pm - As if to illustrate my previous point, Smith clips and drives to the boundary in the same Anderson over.
6:02pm - The new nut often proves a fickle beast, and so it has today. With the humidity up, you would have hoped England would get it hooping; instead it's flying to the boundary with regularity.

New ball available...and new ball taken! Big spell in the match coming up...Aus 269-3 #ashes
— Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) August 1, 2013
5:50pm - This is a crucial period now; there are 40 minutes left and England have taken the second new ball. Anderson's first delivery back into the attack is pulled powerfully through midwicket by Smith.
5:43pm - FIFTY! Smith (115 4x4 0x6) - Soon after Clarke crunches Bresnan over mid-off for another boundary, his partner reaches a responsible half-century. This has been an excellent day for Australia thus far.
5:32pm - CENTURY! Clarke (169b 13x4 0x6) - What an innings from the skipper. Clarke, barring a tricky spell before lunch, has looked in complete control all day and illustrated his vast quality. Given his penchant for making big 'uns, England will need to find a response. He brought up the ton, Australia's first in the series, with a clip to leg off Swann.
5:27pm - Clarke, who crunched Bresnan for a straight four just prior to drinks, is now on to 97 and scenting a 24th format hundred.
5:12pm - Smith shows his partner is not the only one who can attack Swann, striking fours down the ground and through backward point, the latter coming on the back of an Anderson misfield.
5:06pm - Tim Bresnan has found a hint of reverse swing, but not enough to trouble the batsmen as of yet.
4:48pm - James Anderson is brought back into the attack as Broad heads for a rest. His first ball is crashed to the boundary by Clarke, who is closing on a century.
4:38pm - England continue to plug away but Clarke, in particular, looks in fine fettle, epitomised by an upper-cut over slip off Broad.

— Investec Cricket (@InvestecCricket) August 1, 2013
4:21pm - Clarke is beginning to look in good touch; after cutting the returning Graeme Swann for four, he finds the fence again when powerfully pulling Broad through midwicket.
4:14pm - The luckless Broad's frustration continues as he raps Smith on the pad. Replays show it was plumb yet umpire Tony Hill turned down a loud appeal, with England having used their reviews.
4:06pm - Stuart Broad, who has bowled much better than his figures of 0-51 suggest, is in at the other end.
4:01pm - Joe Root bowls the first over after tea, which costs three runs. Australia will be desperate for Michael Clarke and Steven Smith to extend their stand significantly.
Afternoon Session
Highlights of the afternoon session at Emirates Old Trafford, which saw Australia take the honours
3:40pm - TEA - Aus 180/3; Clarke 55, Smith 20 - The afternoon session comes to an end and Australia will probably be the happier thanks to Clarke and Smith's restorative alliance.
Australia 180-3 now. Clarke 55* & Smith 20* #Ashes #Rise
— England Cricket (@ECB_cricket) August 1, 2013
3:33pm - Australia's fourth-wicket partnership is now worth 50 and the pendulum appears to have tilted in their favour once more as tea approaches.
3:28pm - REVIEW - England are convinced they have Smith caught behind in Anderson's first over back, but umpire Marais Erasmus remains unmoved. Matt Prior immediately calls for a review yet the decision stands with no mark on HotSpot. England are out of reviews.
34% - @StuartBroad8 has induced a false shot with over a third of his deliveries (34%) so far in this #Ashes Test. Unrewarded.
— OptaJim (@OptaJim) August 1, 2013
3:21pm - Both Clarke and Smith are using their feet well to counter the threat posed by Swann. Alastair Cook responds by bringing Anderson back into the attack from the Statham End.
3:12pm - Smith guides Bresnan through midwicket for his first four. He just needs to hold firm here with his captain looking good at the other end. England would love another scalp before tea and Swann is back over the wicket.
3:04pm - FIFTY! Clarke (67b 7x4 0x6) - Kevin Pietersen shows fine athleticism at mid-on to save three. That's pretty impressive from a player who was a fitness doubt ahead of this match. The increasingly dangerous Clarke then brings up his second fifty in succession with a pulled four off Bresnan.
2:58pm - Swann is now operating from round the wicket to Clarke, but Australia's skipper continues to attack and a lofted straight drive results in his sixth four.
2:50pm - REVIEW - This time a review goes in Australia's favour, but only just! Steven Smith is rapped on the pad playing back to one that turned sharply from outside off. Umpire Tony Hill does not raise the finger and his decision stands with HawkEye showing the ball was not quite striking enough of leg stump. Clarke duly advances to consecutive deliveries from Swann and claims boundaries through cover and over mid-off.
2:45pm - With Rogers gone, Clarke is undoubtedly the key man now. He plays and misses, not for the first time today, against Bresnan in the first over after drinks.
2:32pm - WICKET! Rogers lbw Swann 84; Aus 129/3 - Poor old Rogers! Perhaps distracted by movement behind the bowler's arm moments earlier, he misses a full ball from Swann when looking to work to leg and is plumb lbw. He batted superbly today, but remains without a Test hundred. Clarke was put down at leg slip just before Rogers' exit, although replays showed no bat was involved.
2:27pm - Tim Bresnan takes over from the luckless Broad and he too beats Rogers as the left-hander attempts a booming drive. That's an unusually loose stroke from a player who has prospered on the front foot throughout his innings.
Lovely morning at the Test big thanks to @SkyCricket and @bbctms for promoting #WomensAshes
— Charlotte Edwards (@Lottie2323) August 1, 2013
2:19pm - Broad gives Clarke the hurry-up with a bouncer and then beats Rogers again. The seamer can consider himself unfortunate not to have added to his 199 Test wickets today.
2:12pm - An eventful over from Broad sees Rogers drives effortlessly through the off side for four and three. In between those strokes, the left-hander is beaten all ends up. Graeme Swann is back on in place of Anderson.
2:05pm - Broad maintains a probing line to Clarke, who is then beaten by a jaffa from Anderson that nipped away off a good length. Soon after, the right-hander makes a late decision to leave and the ball flies through third man for four off the bottom of the bat.
Q from Mikey Holding. Any other grounds in the world where the pavilion is at one end but the players walk elsewhere - like at Old Trafford?
— Benedict Bermange (@Benedict_B) August 1, 2013
1:56pm - That's better from Clarke; he gets to the pitch of the ball on this occasion and drives Anderson through cover to take Australia into three figures. Much could depend on whether the touring skipper can play his first big innings of the series today.
1:52pm - Clarke has yet to fully settle and gets a thick inside edge into the leg side when attempting to drive a length ball from Stuart Broad. England have an off-side sweeper in place for Chris Rogers, but he plays late to collect four behind point.
1:43pm - The afternoon session begins with James Anderson bowling to Michael Clarke.
Morning Session
Highlights of an intriguing opening session at Emirates Old Trafford
1:05pm - LUNCH – Aus 92/2; Rogers 67, Clarke 5 - Australia's captain is up and running in the final over of the morning. Rogers can be very pleased with his work in that session, but the departures of Watson and Khawaja have left things intriguingly poised.
12:59pm - Anderson, who has changed ends for a second time, poses problems for Michael Clarke and there will be time for one more over before lunch.
12:49pm - WICKET! Khawaja c Prior b Swann 1; Aus 82/2 - Khawaja plays around a full ball from Swann but survives the resulting appeal for lbw. There is no review from England but we go upstairs next ball when the number three is given out caught behind having driven at one that turned sharply and bounced. After countless replays, the third umpire opts not to overturn Tony Hill's decision and Khawaja has to go!
12:44pm - Graeme Swann, who twice accounted for Rogers at Lord's, is given his first bowl of the match from the Pavilion End. Khawaja gets off the mark in the next over.
12:35pm - Rogers gets the score moving again with a leg-side single off Anderson that takes him to 20,000 first-class runs.
12:31pm - Australia have not scored since Watson's departure. A second successive maiden ends with Bresnan finding away movement to beat new batsman Usman Khawaja.
12:20pm - WICKET! Watson c Cook b Bresnan 19; Aus 76/1 - The fours keep on coming for Rogers, but Watson's unconvincing innings is brought to an end as he edges straight to first slip when pushing forward at Bresnan. That's a handy breakthrough for England as runs had come quickly since drinks.
12:16pm - FIFTY! Rogers (49b 10x4 0x6) - Anderson changes ends but Rogers is undeterred and finds the midwicket fence. After failing to repeat the trick next ball, the in-form batsman then drives confidently through cover and point to bring up his half-century from 49 deliveries.
12:09pm - Rogers looks to be in fantastic touch here. The first two balls after drinks, from Bresnan, are driven square and straight for the left-hander's sixth and seventh fours.
Australia take the first hour. Watson (18*) and Rogers (31*) move the score along to 49-0 at drinks #ashes
— Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) August 1, 2013
11:59am - In contrast to his partner, Watson is struggling to impose himself. He plays and misses facing Bresnan and then gets lucky once more when a mis-cued drive squirts safely down to third man for three.
11:54am - Tim Bresnan starts with a maiden to Rogers before Broad, the pick of the attack thus far, finds swing to inconvenience both batsmen. The Nottinghamshire man finishes his sixth over with a loose delivery and Rogers reaches out to collect four more through the off side.
10 overs complete, Australia 0-39. First change of the morning: Bresnan replacing Anderson. #Ashes #ReturnTheUrn
— Cricket Australia (@CricketAus) August 1, 2013
11:41am - A sweetly timed drive down the ground off Anderson brings Rogers four more. He looks much more comfortable than his partner, who is fortunate to see another loose drive drop just short of Jonny Bairstow at point.
11:34am - Rogers' confident start continues as he eases a full outswinger from Anderson behind square for four. A familiar scene then ensues as Watson plants his front foot and is struck on the pad by Broad. England's lbw appeal is turned down and the decision not to review is a wise one as replays show the ball was going narrowly over the top.
11:26am - Having contended with a change of angle from Anderson, Rogers drives Broad past mid-off for three and subsequently clips four through midwicket to reach 18 from as many deliveries.
11:17am - As anticipated, there is good bounce on offer and Broad makes the most of it when beating Watson outside off stump with successive deliveries in a threatening maiden. An early breakthrough would pile the pressure on Australia's much-criticised batting unit.
11:09am - Watson picks up his first boundary, albeit in somewhat streaky fashion via a loose drive over backward point.
11:05am - A productive first over for Australia sees Shane Watson get off the mark with a single before Chris Rogers squirts James Anderson down to third man for four. Stuart Broad shares the new cherry.
Pre-Play News
10:59am - The players enter the field to rapturous applause and we are ready to go. Home hero Anderson will kick things off from the Pavilion End.
10:52am - While we wait for play to begin, why not take a look at some highlights of the last Ashes Test on this ground. It was a belter...
10:32am - AUSTRALIA WIN TOSS AND BAT - Clarke calls correctly and decides to bat. Pietersen is fit to take his place in an unchanged England team, while Australia bring in David Warner, Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc. Phil Hughes, Ashton Agar and the injured James Pattinson are the players to make way.
10:25am - It will be interesting to see if the captain winning the toss is tempted to have a bowl. Although we are not expecting any rain today, there is a muggy atmosphere at present that could aid the seamers. Maybe it's a good toss to lose?
10:10am - For Australia, nothing less than victory will do if they are to keep alive their hopes of retaining the Ashes. Heavily beaten at Lord's last time out, the tourists are expected to make a number of changes for this encounter. We will find out the team news for both sides when the toss takes place in 20 minutes.
10am - Having been presented with the aforementioned silver salver, Anderson joins his team-mates for the warm-up. Kevin Pietersen is also in the England huddle, with skipper Alastair Cook having expressed optimism over the batsman's fitness in his pre-match press conference. You can read what Cook and Michael Clarke had to say here.
9:55am - There is certainly plenty of excitement at Emirates Old Trafford, which is staging its first Ashes contest in eight years following significant redevelopment work. The ground looks an absolute picture.
Prior to play commencing today, James Anderson will be presented with a silver salver by Lancashire chairman Michael Cairns and former England bowlers Sir Ian Botham and Bob Willis. This is to recognise his achievement of reaching 300 Test wickets and becoming the Red Rose club's leading wicket-taker in Tests. Anderson needs six wickets in this game to surpass Willis' tally of 325 five-day scalps, while Botham leads the England list on 383.
9:45am - Good morning from Manchester. After a series of downpours yesterday, it is dry and warm at Emirates Old Trafford and we have little more than an hour to wait until the third Investec Ashes Test gets under way. As if you need reminding, England are 2-0 up in the five-match series and can secure the famous little urn in this match. I cannot be the only person who is extremely excited right now.

From the acclaimed author of The Book of Night Women comes a "musical, electric, fantastically profane" (The New York Times) epic that explores the tumultuous world of Jamaica over the past three decades.
In A Brief History of Seven Killings, Marlon James combines brilliant storytelling with his unrivaled skills of characterization and meticulous eye for detail to forge an enthralling novel of dazzling ambition and scope.
On December 3, 1976, just before the Jamaican general election and two days before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert to ease political tensions in Kingston, seven gunmen stormed the singer's house, machine guns blazing. The attack wounded Marley, his wife, and his manager, and injured several others. Little was officially released about the gunmen, but much has been whispered, gossiped and sung about in the streets of West Kingston. Rumors abound regarding the assassins' fates, and there are suspicions that the attack was politically motivated.
A Brief History of Seven Killings delves deep into that dangerous and unstable time in Jamaica's history and beyond. James deftly chronicles the lives of a host of unforgettable characters – gunmen, drug dealers, one-night stands, CIA agents, even ghosts – over the course of thirty years as they roam the streets of 1970s Kingston, dominate the crack houses of 1980s New York, and ultimately reemerge into the radically altered Jamaica of the 1990s. Along the way, they learn that evil does indeed cast long shadows, that justice and retribution are inextricably linked, and that no one can truly escape his fate.
Gripping and inventive, shocking and irresistible, A Brief History of Seven Killings is a mesmerizing modern classic of power, mystery, and insight.
"An astonishing portrait of the politics of everyday life…Just as he is sharply aware of the nuances of their voices, James has the confidence not to deny his characters their humanity by turning them into moral exemplars, nor paper over the infected wounds that score across the country by suggesting that the loveliness of some of its territory makes up for the savage effects of poverty."
—The Washington Post
"A dark, challenging, and violent book that's also remarkably funny, A Brief History of Seven Killings appears to have been an easy choice for the judges, who voted unanimously to award it the [Booker] prize in a deliberation which lasted less than two hours."
—The New Republic
"How to describe Marlon James's monumental new novel A Brief History of Seven Killings? It's like a Tarantino remake of The Harder They Come but with a soundtrack by Bob Marley and a script by Oliver Stone and William Faulkner, with maybe a little creative boost from some primo ganja. It's epic in every sense of that word: sweeping, mythic, over-the-top, colossal and dizzyingly complex. It's also raw, dense, violent, scalding, darkly comic, exhilarating and exhausting—a testament to Mr. James's vaulting ambition and prodigious talent."
—The New York Times
"This is the boldest of novels, and the boldest of Booker-winning novels, thanks to a jury bold enough to pick it."
—The Independent
"[A] tour de force… [an] audacious, demanding, inventive literary work."
—Wall Street Journal
"An extraordinary book… [It was] very exciting, very violent, full of swearing. It was a book we didn't actually have any difficulty deciding on – it was a unanimous decision, a little bit to our surprise. … The call was easy but the distance was small…There are many, many voices in the book and it just kept on coming, it kept on doing what it was doing. … There is an excitement right from the beginning of this book. A lot of it is very, very funny, a lot of it very human."
—Michael Wood, Chair of the Judges for the 2015 Man Booker Prize
"Thrilling, ambitious…Both intense and epic."
—Los Angeles Times
"Nothing short of awe-inspiring."
—Entertainment Weekly
"A prismatic story of gang violence and Cold War politics in a turbulent post-independence Jamaica."
—The New Yorker
"Marlon James' latest novel is a Jamaican symphony, a sea of distinct and unforgettable voices."
—St. Paul Pioneer Press
"Exploding with violence and seething with arousal, the third novel by Marlon James cuts a swath across recent Jamaican history…This compelling, not-so-brief history brings off a social portrait worthy of Diego Rivera, antic and engagé, a fascinating tangle of the naked and the dead."
—The Washington Post
"[Marlon James] is a virtuoso …[the novel is] an epic of postcolonial fallout, in Jamaica and elsewhere, and America's participation in that history. …the book is not only persuasive but tragic, though in its polyphony and scope it's more than that….It makes its own kind of music, not like Marley's, but like the tumult he couldn't stop."
—New York Times Book Review
"An ambitious and loquacious exploration of the attempted assassination of Bob Marley in December 1976. It also tells the story of 1970s Jamaica through a polyphonous chain of 'voices' (ghosts, Rastas and gangstas), juxtaposing reggae with street violence. James takes risks that none of his rivals dare… [an] intoxicatingly prolix narrative."
—The Guardian
"Brilliantly executed… The novel makes no compromises, but is cruelly and consummately a work of art."
—The Minneapolis Star Tribune
"An excellent new work of historical fiction … part crime thriller, part oral history, part stream-of-consciousness monologue."
—Rolling Stone
"An impressive feat of storytelling: raw, uncompromising, panoramic yet meticulously detailed. The Jamaica portrayed here is one many people have heard songs about but have never seen rendered in such arresting specificity—and if they have, only briefly."
—Chicago Tribune
"Marlon James's epic docu-novel about Jamaica in the throes of political upheaval is a thrilling…exegesis on the idea of island history itself James has written a dangerous book, one full of lore and whispers and history… [a] great book… James nibbles at theories of who did what and why, and scripts Marley's quest for revenge with the pace of a thriller. His achievement, however, goes far beyond opening up this terrible moment in the life of a great musician. He gives us the streets, the people, especially the desperate, the Jamaicans whom Marley exhorted to: 'Open your eyes and look within:/ Are you satisfied with the life your living?"
—The Boston Globe
"I highly recommend you pick [A Brief History of Seven Killings] up. As a book of many narrators, this novel reminds me of Roberto Bolano's The Savage Detectives."
—NPR, All Things Considered
"A strange and wonderful novel…Mr. James's chronicle of late 20th-century Jamaican politics and gang wars manages consistently to shock and mesmerise at the same time."
—The Economist
"A sweeping novel that touches on family, friendship, celebrity, art, sexuality, ghetto politics, geopolitics, drug trade, gender, race and more, sending the reader from Jamaica to New York via Miami and Cuba and back."
"Rendered with virtuosic precision and deep empathy."
"The book is exasperating and confusing, raw and violent, and overrun with wicked, empty people. It's also breathtaking, daring, and once you finally start sorting things out as the book ends, a bit intoxicating…Few writers take such gambles. Fewer still can pull them off."
—Chicago Tribune
"Tumultuous and overwhelming, A Brief History of Seven Killings would have been hard to overlook in any case…A testament not only to James's prodigiously versatile writing but also to his awareness that an undaunted, self-made character is crucial to helping his reader navigate A Brief History of Seven Killings's dark heart."
—The Atlantic
"A big powerhouse of a book, confident and fast-paced, as page-turning as any supermarket-aisle thriller. It's time to read it."
"This ambitious novel requires an ambitious reader… The sheer number of characters, the Caribbean slang, and the gonzo view of violence and corruption are dizzying but nothing short of awe-inspiring."
—Entertainment Weekly
"The way James uses language is amazing….Vigorous, intricate and captivating, A Brief History of Seven Killings is hard to put down."
"Thrilling, ambitious…Both intense and epic."
—Los Angeles Times
"Marlon James's epic and dizzying third novel, A Brief History of Seven Killings… announces Marlon James as a writer in the same league as Salman Rushdie, Reinaldo Arenas, and others who've risked their skin to get at the truth."
"This ambitious novel, which spans decades but centers on Kingston, Jamaica, in the nineteen-seventies, is a complex portrait of a society ruled by violence. … Gang leaders and their underlings, journalists and spooks, ordinary Jamaicans struggling to stay alive form a kind of chorus flooding the novel with a rich abundance of detail."
—The New Yorker
"James's masterful novel radiates; [it's] a character-driven tale that takes place in a maelstrom of guns, drugs and politics."
"Technically astounding… a wildly ambitious and brilliant book…this stunning counterfactual fiction evokes both the pungency of Faulkner's Southern gothic Yoknapatawpha novels and the wild tabloid noir of James Ellroy's 'White Jazz'…[Marlon] James raises fiction's ante throughout this bravura novel."
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Like a capacious 19th-century novel crossed with a paranoid Don DeLillo conspiracy-theory thriller…the book rewards time spent, bringing a complex perspective on violence, corruption, and the untidiness of humanity to vivid life and astonishing detail. It makes you want to rush out and read everything else James has written."
—The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A gripping tale in which music, drugs, sex, and violence collide with explosive results."
"An exuberant, Balzacian novel by self-described 'post-post colonialist' writer who is at ease with several canons, traditions, and dialects. You'll also find a political novel on the level of Don DeLillo. It's the rare 'revelation' that will easily outlive its hype-cycle."
— Flavorwire
"A dazzling fictional representation of Jamaica."
"A Brief History of Seven Killings is an amazing novel of power, corruption and lies. I can't think of a better one I've read this century."
– Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting
"There's a crowd of brilliant young Americo-Caribbean writers coming to the table these days, and Marlon James is not just among the best of them, he's among the best of all the young writers, period. He knows whereof he speaks, and he speaks with power and clarity. This novel cracks open a world that needs to be known. It has epic reach and achieves it. It's scary and lyrically beautiful – you'll want to read whole pages aloud to strangers."
—Russell Banks
"A Brief History of Seven Killings is a masterpiece. Hinged around the 1976 assassination attempt on Bob Marley in Kingston, this massive poetic novel is a gripping, riveting read. Intuitively original, deeply erudite and intelligent, told from multiple points of view, it unravels the lethal world of mid-1970s Jamaican politics and its decades-long consequences in the deadly yardie world of crack-dealing. Magnificent."
—Chris Salewicz, author of Bob Marley: The Untold Story
"Upon finishing, the reader will have completed an indispensable and essential history of Jamaica's troubled years. This novel should be required reading."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Stunning… A brilliant novel, highly recommended; one of those big, rich, magisterial works that lets us into a world we really don't know."
—Library Journal (starred review)
Dear Reader Letter
Dear Reader,
It's clear from the first pages of A Brief History of Seven Killings thatMarlon James has written a bold and ambitious novel — a literary triumph, in fact. The New York Times calls it "epic in every sense of that word: sweeping, mythic, over-the-top, colossal and dizzyingly complex. It's also raw, dense, violent, scalding, darkly comic, exhilarating and exhausting — a testament to Mr. James's vaulting ambition and prodigious talent."
What also becomes obvious is that it's so much more than that.
In A Brief History of Seven Killings, James takes the reader on an astonishing journey into the heart and soul of Jamaica and its people, framing the novel around an actual event: the December 1976 attempted assassination of reggae superstar Bob Marley and his family by seven gunmen. The attack wounded (but didn't kill) Marley, his wife, and his manager. Little has ever been officially released about what happened all those years ago, though much has been whispered about, and rumors regarding what really happened circulate to this day.
James uses this incident to spin his own extraordinary story and characters, as both the guilty and the innocent come to terms with what they saw, what they did, and how they reacted. The novel spans decades, countries and cultures and is written in a chorus of voices, everything from Jamaican street language to the Queen's English to CIA-speak.
The result is a brilliant novel that's also an enthralling mystery, a compelling political thriller, and a provocative alternative history – and a book that will make you reconsider what you think you know about the last thirty years.
It is, in every sense of the word, unforgettable.
–Jake Morrissey

Insurance secrets that will reduce your expenses
If you have been searching high and low for the best way to reduce the amount of money that the New York homeowners insurance quotes you've come across are asking for, you have come to the right place.
The overwhelming majority of people shopping for homeowners insurance in New York (and all over the world, for that matter) end up spending a lot more on insurance stand they probably should be – and it all starts because they are given homeowners insurance quotes that are nowhere near as low as they could be or as low as they should be.
Take advantage of this inside information at newyork-insurance.website (and the details below) to save yourself a considerable amount of money when it comes time to pull the trigger on a deal offered by any of the New York homeowners insurance quotes you've been researching.
Raise up your deductibles and your New York homeowners insurance quotes will plummet
By choosing to increase your deductible amount (even by as little as $500-$1000) you'll be able to immediately reduce the amount of money that you are asked to pay out of pocket as far as your monthly insurance premiums are concerned.
This is one of the smartest ways to dramatically reduce the amount of money that you have to spend on insurance every month and every year, all without sacrificing the level or the quality of homeowners insurance that you are receiving along the way.
Make sure that you feed your increased deductible amount into any of the calculators providing New York homeowners insurance quotes so that you understand exactly how much this kind of adjustment can save you before you sign up for a new policy.
Ask for "hidden deals and discounts" to save the most money possible
Another great way to get a significant discount on your homeowners insurance when shopping around newyork-insurance.website/new-york-homeowners-insurance/ for different New York homeowners insurance quotes is to ask an insurance agent about any of the hidden deals and discounts their company offers for new customers.
Just about every single insurance company on the planet has a number of "under the table" discounts and hidden savings opportunities that they do not advertise as widely as they probably should, deals and discounts that can result in hundreds or even thousands of dollars in savings. If you ask about these savings opportunities they are obligated to let you know about them (as well as point you in the direction of the savings opportunities that you qualify for).
All you have to do is ask!

The Boston Bruins struggled at the start of the season, going 3-7 through their first 10 games. Now it seems they've gotten back to form, as they're looking even stronger than the team that won the Stanley Cup last year.
The season stats of the players listed here aren't staggering. The Boston Bruins of 2012 are not a team with one superstar 50-goal scorer. They're a team with undeniable depth that can attack from all angles. They can beat you on every line. They can dominate you physically.
Here, I've comprised a list of the most valuable players to the Boston Bruins thus far.

Ruling that the trial judge's questioning of witnesses prejudiced the jury, a Pennsylvania appeals court has ordered a new trial for a veteran Philadelphia police officer convicted of false arrest.
In unusually critical terms, a three-judge panel of the Superior Court ruled Tuesday that Aleksander Shwarz was denied a fair trial because of questions by Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Earl W. Trent Jr.
At the same time, the court said, the jury probably would have convicted Shwarz based on the evidence alone.
"It is only the trial court's actions that require reversal in this matter," Superior Court President Judge Emeritus Kate Ford Elliott wrote in the unanimous opinion.

Some Users Can Now Subscribe to Podcasts on Google Play Music
Google has been experimenting with the idea of adding podcasts to its Play Music service for a while, but now it seems the company is finally flipping the switch. For some users anyway.
Google has been experimenting with the idea of adding podcasts to its Play Music service for a while, but now it seems the company is finally flipping the switch. For some users anyway.
Google announced a family subscription plan for Google Play Music a few months ago, but the option to sign up is just starting to roll out. Soon you'll be able to share Play Music (and YouTube Red) with five other people.
Tired of waiting to skip ads in YouTube? Wish you could save YouTube videos and music offline or keep playing when your mobile screen turns off? YouTube Red might be the subscription for you—and it includes a Google Play Music subscription for the same price as Play Music alone.
Much to Taylor Swift's chagrin, music streaming subscriptions are getting cheaper and cheaper these days. Now that Google has joined the ranks of the free streaming services, we decided to take a look and see which ones offer the best features. Here are the key differences, and which service is best for which type of…
If you're looking for something good to listen to, you have tons of services, both free and paid (and both) to choose from. With Grooveshark now sadly departed, it's time to take a fresh look at the world of streaming music, and see who comes out on top. This week, we're looking at five of the best, based on your…
If you're looking for some tunes to help with the holiday mood, Google Play Music is giving out some free tunes and started their year-end sale with discounts on plenty of albums new and old.
Mac only: Radiant Player (formerly known as Google Music for Mac) has gone through quite a few updates since we featured it a mere two months ago. Now it has some handy swipe gestures, a mini player, some extra themes, and Last.fm integration.
iPad (jailbroken): If you have an iPad and love Google Play Music, you've been stuck using the iPhone version of the app for awhile. Tucked away inside the iPhone version, however, is a far more tablet friendly view. Here's how to enable it with a simple tweak.
Android (4.0+, Rooted): We've highlighted several useful Android music players, but one big drawback to most of them is that they can't access or play music stored at Google Play Music. GMusicFS breaks down that wall and lets just about any Android player access all the tunes you have stored in the cloud.
OS X: Google Music is great, but if you don't want to keep a pinned tab open playing your favorite tunes, Google Music for Mac is a standalone player that looks great, is feature-packed but lightweight, supports your media keys, can play all of your playlists, and more. Best of all, it's free.
Today Google unveiled Google Play Music All Access, a subscription music and internet radio service that opens the door to millions of tracks, all intermingled with the music you already own. Sounds great, and the price is competitive, but should you ditch your current streaming service for it? Let's take a look.
Google took the wraps off of Google Play Music All Access, a new subscription music service, that offers playlists and music suggestions based on songs you already own and love. The service is already packed with music from Google Play Music, and any songs you see you can play or turn into a streaming radio station.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Financial Aid Office724-805-2555800-782-5549
The Financial Aid Process
Verification is the confirmation through documentation that the information provided on a student's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is correct. The federal government requires colleges and universities to verify or confirm the data reported on the FAFSA. The verification process ensures that eligible students receive all the financial aid to which they are entitled. Students are selected for verification either randomly or because estimated information submitted on the FAFSA is deemed inconsistent. Once selected for verification, federal aid must not be disbursed until the verification process is completed. Changes to the FAFSA as a result of the verification process may result in a change to the Expected Family Contribution (EFC), and estimated financial aid awards. If a correction to the FAFSA is made by the college as a result of the verification process, the student will receive an updated Student Aid Report indicating the changes made.
The Verification Process
Students selected for verification will receive a Missing Document Letter from the Financial Aid Office which will outline the documents necessary to complete the verification process. The documents listed below can be downloaded, printed, and returned to the Financial Aid Office.

Seam-bowling stalwart David Masters, Essex's leading first-class wicket-taker for the last four seasons, has signed a one-year contract extension until end of the 2015 campaign.
Masters, 35, who has just completed a benefit year, played in all of Essex's 16 LV= County Championship games this season, taking 51 wickets with an innings best of 6-41 versus Kent at Canterbury.
He said: "I am very happy to a have signed a new contract with Essex. Being 35 years old, this will take me up the age of 37 and I want to play for as long as I can. This is a great step for me to continue playing cricket for as long as I can continue to perform on the pitch.
"There is also a lot of responsibility for me now to help the younger players coming through at the club and pass on my experience of the game."
Essex head coach Paul Grayson added: "It is great news that David has signed with the club for two years.
"He is an incredible professional who has shown not only in this season, but in the past years that he puts everything into his performances on the field of play and is instrumental in leading our bowling attack.
"After ending the year as the club's leading first-class wicket-taker in 2013, I'm sure he will continue where he left off next season."

Biosphere Reserves
Biosphere Reserves, the living laboratories for sustainable development, are sites established by countries and recognized under UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme to promote sustainable development based on local community efforts and sound science.
In the Pacific, there are currently three Biosphere Reserves, Utwe and And Atoll in the Federated States of Micronesia and Ngaremeduu in Palau. With their atolls and volcanic islands, endemic species, coral reefs, tropical rainforests and other features, the Pacific countries and territories have a lot of potential with respect to the nomination of new Biosphere Reserves, with several proposals currently on the table.

Very pleasant stay at Frederic's place., good location in Copenhagen. We had everything we needed, nice room. Recommended!
Frederic and his sons were very friendly. Nice room with all you need.
I will come back again.
We stayed for two nights at Frederics apartment, and I would recommend it! The apartment is located at a good neighborhood and Very central.
Our room was very comfortable and well equipped and our host was very helpful - Frederic recommended some very good eating spots as well!
This was our first wimdu experience.
Frederic was very friendly and gave us good recommendations.
We had a great stay in Copenhagen.
Oh what a beautiful appartement! We really loved the living room with the nice view to the garden and also the sweet kitchen and beautiful bathroom. We were allowed to use the kitchen too - There it was little mucky, but not that bad.
The area was really nice and quiet and we had just a little walk to public transport and the cheap supermarket.
Very creative special family – absolutely well organised and helpful!!!
Frederic wasn't in town when we arrived but his mother welcomed us quite great and gave us everything we needed. Was a perfect holiday and we would definitely stay there again. :)
His house was really neat and cozy!!!! It was toooooo lovely. And the host, Frederic, was also very nice and friendly, so I had a great time in copenhagen. Town around the home was cool.
Super venlig. Mega omsorgsfuld og god til at give sightseeing muligheder.
Very nice. Very caring and good at showing you what to see in Copenhagen.
Sehr toll.
Can defiinetely recommend and will stay there again when in KBH next time. Vry plesant reception (thank you Frédéric!) , caracterfull accommodation, convenient location, what else would you want!
The house is beautiful, the room big and comfortable, Frederic is super nice and interesting.
We only had 1 night at his place, and only 24 hours in total in Copenhagen but he pointed out all the main areas of the city and spent some time with us making us feel at home. We really had great time thanks to him.
If I will get back to Copenhagen hopefully will stay again at Frederic's Place and of course...I am looking forward to meeting him again soon. Such an interesting, kind and creative person!

The Amarillo Bulls could win a South Division title this weekend when they host Topeka in a two-game series starting at 7 p.m. Friday night in the Cal Farley Coliseum.
The Bulls (39-7-6, 84 points) own a 14-point lead in the South Division race over second-place Topeka (32-13-6, 70 points).
Topeka has seven games remaining after this weekend and the maximum amount of points it can secure would be 14 after this series with the Bulls.
So if the Bulls pull off a sweep Friday and Saturday, their reward would be a South Division crown.

Sun Devils fired up for second shot at Stanford
After September loss, ASU is more confident it can beat Stanford for Rose Bowl berth.
TEMPE, Ariz. -- After Arizona State lost at Stanford 42-28 on Sept. 21, receiver Jaelen Strong made a guarantee: The Sun Devils would see Stanford again.
Asked if he was sure, Strong responded confidently.
"Yes, we will see them again," Strong reiterated.
That pledge comes to fruition this week when No. 11
ASU hosts No. 7 Stanford in the Pac-12 Championship game, and the Sun Devils are thrilled to get another shot at the Cardinal.
"It's a chance for us to redeem ourselves," said defensive tackle Will Sutton, who on Monday won his second straight Pat Tillman defensive player of the year award. "I'm just so excited we get to host the Pac-12 Championship game and get to see Stanford again."
Added ASU coach Todd Graham: "To get an opportunity to play the defending Pac-12 champion is something that's a great honor for us because our goal is to be champion."
Stanford (10-2, 7-2 Pac-12) comes to Sun Devil Stadium on Saturday for the first time since 2010. ASU (10-2, 8-1) is 7-0 at home this season and beat opponents there by an average of 28.3 points. The Cardinal's two losses came on the road this season, against Utah and USC.
While home-field advantage inspires confidence in the Sun Devils, they drew perhaps more from the loss to Stanford.
"The Stanford game showed how we beat ourselves," Sutton said. "We looked back at the film and we watched how the most important thing on this team is really special teams. Special teams means a lot."
Graham believes ASU made significant strides in special teams since, but even greater strides in leadership.
"I think the second half in that game showed what kind of heart our guys have," Graham said. "I think that's what (Strong) was pointing out (in his guarantee) is that we're a lot better than the way we played in the first half of that game and that we just had to go back to work and if we did we could end up right back here. That's what happened."
Sutton said ASU came out flat in the loss, in which ASU fell behind 29-0 at halftime, in part due to a calmer road atmosphere than anticipated. The Sun Devils play better on the road, Sutton suggested, in an "electrifying" atmosphere.
"It was just flat, guys out there not excited," Sutton said. "Me and (linebacker) Chris Young tried to get the team excited, but it was kind of too late. The spark didn't hit us until the fourth quarter."
ASU rallied that night and outscored Stanford 28-13 in the second half but could not climb out of the hole dug by its own poor kickoff return coverage, an interception, two blocked punts and Stanford's powerful rushing attack.
Graham on Monday called the loss a "humbling experience." Another learning moment came two weeks later in Dallas, where ASU lost 37-34 to Notre Dame in a game it felt it should have won. Now, Graham believes his players are more prepared to play an elite team like Stanford.
"I think those close games, those hard-fought games and the level of competition we've played has really seasoned our guys," Graham said. "I've really sensed that in the last two or three weeks."
In addition to the 17 players who earned All-Pac-12 recognition on Monday, two earned weekly conference honors. Sophomore safety Damarious Randall was named Defensive Player of the Week after he had 12 tackles, a forced fumble and an interception return for a touchdown in ASU's 58-21 win over Arizona. Freshman kicker Zane Gonzalez earned Special Teams Player of the Week honors by going 3 for 3 on field goal attempts and setting a new school record for consecutive field goals made (18).

Learning Goal: To be able to calculate workdone by a constant force directed at different angles relative todisplacementIf an object undergoes displacement while being acted upon by aforce (or several forces), it is said that work is beingdone on the object. If the object is moving in a straight lineand the displacement and the force are known, the work done by theforce can be calculated as
where is the work done by force on the object that undergoes displacement directed at angle relative to .
Note that depending on the value of , the work done can be positive, negative, orzero.In this problem, you will practice calculating work done on anobject moving in a straight line. The first series of questions isrelated to the accompanying figure. (Intro 1figure)
In the next series of questions, youwill use the formula
to calculate the work done by various forces on an object thatmoves 160 meters to the right. (Intro 2figure)

When I bring up properties for Wolfenstein and add +set sv_cheats 1 I receive a message the name "C:\Program Files\Return to Castle Wolfenstein\Wolf.exe"+set sv_cheats 1' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct. What next? I am running XP

You need a "space" between exe" and +set
