Hawpe ends pitchers duel
San Diego Union Tribune - Sep 22, 2007
1, 3 and 4 starting pitchers had suffered season-ending injuries. Colorado (82-72) has met precisely that challenge thanks to an impressive farm system. The home-grown answers include Franklin Morales, a left-hander from Colorado's burgeoning Latin American program who held the Padres to one hit in six scoreless innings last night. “That kid's a bona fide pitching prospect,” Peavy said. The 21-year-old Venezuelan, whose fastball reaches 97 mph, outpointed the front-runner for the Cy Young Award in Peavy, who departed after seven with the Rockies ahead 1-0. Morales overcame four walks by blending lively pitches. “Wow, that's one of the better arms we've seen this year,” said Black.
Iran shows off new longer-range missile
Independent Online - Sep 22, 2007
Earlier an Iranian air force commander said that the military had drawn up a plan under which its fighter jets could bomb Israel if the Jewish state launched a military attack against the Islamic republic over its atomic drive. His comments came after French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner warned that the world should brace for war against Tehran if it keeps defying the UN Security Council and presses on with sensitive nuclear work. At the beginning of the parade there was a fly-past by three “Saegheh” planes, Iran’s new fighter jet, and Tehran vowed to show off more home-grown weapons during the week-long ceremony that marks the “sacred defence. ”
Iran fought a bloody war with Iraq from 1980 to 1988, but it has enjoyed warm ties with the Shia-majority Iraqi government after the ouster of Saddam Hussein by US-led forces in 2003. The United States accuses Iran of interference and arming insurgents in Iraq. Iran blames the occupation forces for violence and instability in its western neighbour. “The presence of illegitimate forces in the region is the cause of all threats and differences.
Geoff Cook’s recipe for Durham success
Telegraph.co.uk - Sep 22, 2007
After lifting the Friends Provident Trophy, Durham won the NatWest Pro40 Second Division and have now come within a whisker of hoisting the championship pennant. The runners-up spot, which is where they will end up barring comebacks of the Lazarus variety at Hove and the Oval today, is a marvellous accomplishment. Durham’s success has been achieved through a mixture of non-English born players and, more importantly from an England point of view, home-grown players who have, almost without exception, progressed through the county’s academy system. Geoff Cook, the former academy director and director of cricket, has much to be proud of. Ottis Gibson, who took 80 wickets at 20. 75 apiece as well as scoring 578 runs, was – along, perhaps, with Surrey’s Mark Ramprakash – the outstanding performer in this summer’s championship while Michael Di Venuto contributed 1,329 runs at the top of the order. Steve Harmison, Liam Plunkett and Graham Onions – local boys, one and all – played their part too, each contributing match-winning bowling performances at various times.

Spain’s Asturias: Wales on steroids
Telegraph.co.uk - Sep 22, 2007
The idea was simple: my wife and I would travel on the Plymouth to Santander ferry, use public transport to get around the Picos, and - shunning luxury hotels, supermarkets, planes, GM food and man-made beaches - be thorough do-gooders as we explored one of the least visited corners of the favourite country of British tourists. From Santander, we headed inland to the tiny hamlet of Collia and the Posada del Valle hotel, where it all got very organic. After showing us around the delightful stone house, our British host, Nigel Burch, lavished plates of home-grown roots and shoots on us, as well as the tender meat of some rare Xaldas sheep, of Celtic origin, that are raised on the property. Nigel went into the hotel and organic farming business after 15 years in the south of Spain working in large-scale industrial crop production. “We decided we wanted a change,” he says. “We took a three-month tour of Spain with the family to decide where we would like to start our new venture. During that trip we came to the conclusion that Asturias, with both mountains and coast, is the most beautiful part.
