Because of him, the Penguins are alive to play Game 7 in Detroit on Friday. “It was just us trying to do whatever we can to stop the puck,” Scuderi said. With less than 20 seconds left in Game 6 and his team leading, 2-1, Scuderi found himself alone in the goal crease with Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury out of the play and the Red Wings bearing down on the net. Scuderi knelt and stopped Johan Franzen’s shot, then leaned over and covered the puck as Franzen repeatedly tried to stuff it in. The referees decided Scuderi did not cover the puck with his hand, which would have been a penalty shot.

He was hungry — ravenous, even — to take the competitive life out of the N.B.A. finals, just not spry enough to slip past Superman on the defining Lakers possession of Game 3. Orlando’s franchise player, Dwight Howard, was not actually caped in his crusade to win a finals game for a franchise that had an 0-6 record between here and its previous appearance in 1995. But Howard was a well-studied man of steal, claiming he anticipated Bryant’s “little in-and-out move” as Bryant overzealously responded to a moment of opportunity and foolishly tried to split two defenders with the rallying Lakers trailing, 104-102, approaching a half-minute to play.

Nothing has helped. The Yankees are missing their former ace, who regressed in another loss to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. The Yankees have lost all seven games they have played against the Red Sox this season, the latest by 6-5 at Fenway Park. Wang faced 17 hitters, retiring eight and allowing nine to reach base. He looked nothing like the pitcher who fired a two-hit complete game here in April 2008, and the Yankees do not know if he will make his next start.

Fota - the group representing all but one of the teams on the grid - is in dispute with the FIA's plans to enforce budget and technical changes in 2010. But Briatore said: "We do not want a war.

Acting captain Brendon McCullum hit six fours in his 57 off 54 balls in reply and looked to be leading his side home. But spinner Roelof van der Merwe took 2-14, the Kiwis slipped behind and were unable to make 15 from the final over. The South Africans have been widely tipped to lift the trophy but produced a curious batting performance having been put in on a chilly, overcast evening at the home of cricket.

The teams' umbrella group (Fota) and the FIA are in talks aimed at reaching a compromise over the disagreement. The two parties have been in dispute over plans for a budget cap and the future of the sport. Sources say negotiations are at a "delicate stage" but both sides are hopeful of reaching an agreement. Fota have responded to a letter from FIA president Max Mosley after he urged them to this week submit an unconditional entry for next year.

Lakers star Kobe Bryant looked set to continue his dominance of the series with 17 points in the opening quarter. But he went on to hit only 11 of 25 shots, missed five of his 10 free-throw attempts and committed four turnovers. Bryant also fouled Mickael Pietrus, who then sank the game-clinching free-throws to give the Magic hope. Game four also takes place in Florida, on Thursday, as the Magic look to become only the fourth team to recover from 2-0 down to win the finals. And Howard believes the Magic can do just that. "We didn't allow being down 0-2 to discourage us from winning," he said.

Although the tests did not show clear evidence of a performance-enhancing drug, there were traces of banned substances, enough to initiate an investigation that has left one of baseball’s greatest hitters with a 50-game suspension. Nearly 30 major leaguers have been suspended for using performance-enhancers since players began penalty testing in 2004, and Ramirez is now the biggest of those names. And unlike many or all of the others who were suspended, Ramirez was ultimately tripped up by medical files that were handed over to baseball officials as the case proceeded.

The European Investment Bank, set up as a development arm of the European Union, has approved a request for a £225m loan toward the scheme - which may yet require another £400m in direct government support unless financial conditions improve. The government had hoped that the private sector would raise the bulk of the £1bn needed to build the Olympic Village, made up of about 3,000 athletes flats in Stratford. But funding has dried up in the wake of the credit crunch and collapse in property values. About half the flats will be converted into social housing after the games.

The tourists struggled in their chase, with Callum Ferguson (63) and James Hopes (63 not out) only briefly threatening as outstanding fielding and Roelof van der Merwe's three for 37 restricted them to 264 for seven.

The deeper distress lies in the knowledge that Sir Alex Ferguson's side is wavering at the critical phase of the season. The Champions League holders now face a challenge fit for a club with grand ambitions. Porto have never been beaten at home by an English club in European competition and it looks likely that a win at the Dragao Stadium will be necessary for United. On this evidence they are in no shape to pull off such a feat. Indeed, a draw barely did justice to visitors who were sharper, livelier and superior in all aspects.

Recognizing the potential for a basketball training aid that allows individual players to hone offensive skills, Mr. Robert Johnson has conceived of a sick new product invention he has aptly designated the Pass Catch Shoot or PCS.

Olympics Opens Doors to Women's Boxing
The decision, announced by the IOC president, Jacques Rogge, following a meeting of the executive board in Berlin, means that the Olympics in London will be the first to feature women and men competing in all of the sports.
Women will be able to box alongside men for the first time since the activity was included as a demonstration sport in 1904. Savannah Marshall and Nicola Adams are two of the British female boxers who could now become household names.
Despite its history dating back to the 1720s, women's boxing has never been included in the full Olympic program. Today's change has been hailed by boxing authorities, who said concerns about competitiveness and health issues had been disproved once and for all.
