They also were well-rehearsed enough to insist that they weren’t at all concerned that if they hadn’t found a way to upset the Purdue Boilermakers — who entered on a 19-game winning streak — then any hope of winning the Big Ten Conference regular-season championship would have been finished. SN BRACKET PROJECTION: Purdue on 1 line before loss “We were just worried about this game and winning this game, just coming into a hostile environment and getting a win,” said improbable hero Andre Wesson, who banked in a 3-pointer that gave OSU its first second-half lead just 76 seconds from the end....

Instead, Clemson’s defense found its footing, and the offense found a rhythm.

Heavy weather will damage water-based stains faster than alternative options. Oil-based stains don’t trap water inside, but they do a better job of keeping it out in the first place. They are more susceptible to regular moisture, though....

Regional governor Roman Starovoyt did not specify the origin of the attack but it comes a day after Moscow blamed Kyiv for similar strikes in Russian territory. “There were no casualties.

These new giants are far less controversial than the old ones. As oil prices continue to hover around record highs of $75 a barrel or more, the heated public discussion in the West still is focused on oil states and multinationals: Saudi Arabia and ExxonMobil, not Saudi Aramco. Yet, shielded from market forces, the state oil companies have a very clear impact on prices. In comparison with private companies like ExxonMobil, they pump a smaller share of their reserves, using less modern technology, with much more erratic management, and spend much less on finding new wells....
