akland-based band Ghost of Lig

"
BUENOS AIRES， Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- Chinese sportswear and footwear manufacturer Peak is set to outfit three of Argentina's National Basketball League teams， as well as the referees， a league official said on Monday.

Peak's designs will be seen on Argentina's courts as the new season gets underway Thursday， said Juan Diego Garcia Squetino， La Liga's director of marketing.

According to the daily newspaper La Nacion， Garcia said the sponsorship agreement with Peak was part of a push to make basketball ""the second (most popular) sport in the country， after soccer.""

The deal， which officials from both sides say will be win-win， aims to raise Peak's profile abroad， while doing the same for Argentinian basketball.

""The flip side of this alliance aims to sell the National League in China，"" said Garcia， adding the Argentinian league aimed to copy the same successful tactic that the NBA used years ago to build a fan base there.

Following six months of negotiations， the sponsorship contract， signed in Quanzhou， calls for the growing Chinese firm to outfit Instituto de Cordoba， Atenas de Cordoba and Libertad de Sunchales， from Argentina's east-central province of Santa Fe.

The contract also calls for team and player exchanges between the two countries.

Argentina's national basketball team won gold at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and bronze at the 2008 Beijing Games， and boasts top players Emanuel ""Manu"" Ginobili， Luis Scola， Andres Nocioni and Carlos Delfino.

Peak is ""the fastest growing basketball footwear company in the world，"" according to the company's website， and already ranks third in NBA endorsements， which include Ron Artest and Sasha Vujacic of the LA Lakers， Carl Landry of the Sacramento Kings， and six other leading players.

OAKLAND (Reuters) - Victims of a fire that destroyed a converted warehouse in California this weekend Matteo Politano Jersey , killing at least 33 people, included a woman working her way through culinary school, at least three musicians and a teacher.

Their lives all ended suddenly when the performance space and artist community known as the Ghost Ship, which the city said was permitted only as a warehouse, turned into an inferno late Friday in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland, east of San Francisco.

Officials say they have found 33 bodies so far and expect to find more.

Oakland officials released the first list of victims late on Sunday, seven California adults in their 20s and 30s and a 17-year-old whose name was withheld.

Among those identified were Donna Kellogg, 32, who was going to culinary school while working at a Berkeley coffee shop, the San Francisco Chronicle reported, citing family and friends.

Brandon Chase Wittenauer, 32, who lived in the nearby suburb of Hayward, was an electronic music artist, the newspaper said, quoting a cousin, Ariel Treya Gonzalez of Berkeley. Wittenauer also went by the name Nex Iuguolo, the newspaper said. His SoundCloud profile contained several electronic music tracks.

Often referred to as "Chase" by friends on his social media accounts, Wittenauer lived in Oakland, according to his Facebook page. The page included several photos of him sporting a distinctive mass of curly hair and performing in concert.

"If talent was what got you paid, my friends and I would be millionaires," he wrote on Twitter on Sept. 26.

Travis Hough, 35, was also a musician. A Facebook page that appeared to be his showed that he performed with the Oakland-based band Ghost of Lightning. The Chronicle reported that he also used the name Travis Blitzen.

The page contained several politically left-leaning posts and links to efforts supporting the anti-pipeline protesters at Standing Rock in North Dakota.

A "Lotsa Helping Hands" web page identified Louisa LeMauviel as Hough's partner and encouraged friends and loved ones to support her in the wake of his death.

Cash Askew was also a musician, performing with the band Them Are Us Too, according to his Facebook page.

Askew's most recent post included a plea for donations for a fundraiser to help people who identify as gay and transgender.

"Completely heartbroken to lose such an incredible soul," Askew's label, Dais Records, posted on Twitter. "We love you Cash."

Sara Hoda, 30, of suburban Walnut Creek, was a Montessori teacher who loved yoga and once lived in Mexico.
