February 3, 2009
Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke have jointly won the Allan Border Medal, the first time in the award's ten-year history that it has been shared. At the end of a period of decline for Australia, it was notable that it was their captain and vice-captain who stood at the top with 41 votes each.
The other man who has led the side in the past, Michael Hussey, was third with 38, while Mitchell Johnson, who had been the favourite in the lead-up to the ceremony, came in fourth with 30 votes. It was the fourth win for Ponting, who also collected the medal in 2004, 2006 and 2007, and the second for Clarke, who won the prize in 2005.
Clarke said it was especially pleasing to share the prize with Ponting, who had been a mentor over the past few years. That has been especially so over the past 12 months after Clarke took over the vice-captaincy from Adam Gilchrist, a role he has clearly relished.
"As soon as I've walked into the Australian team I've tried to learn as much as possible from Ricky Ponting," Clarke said. "Nothing has really changed to be honest. Being vice-captain has just brought me a lot closer."
During the voting period, which began on February 26 last year, Clarke was second to Simon Katich on Australia's Test run tally with 1019 at 56.61, including one century in each of Australia's four Test series. In the one-day format, Clarke took the reins as skipper on several occasions but his own form was below-par, with 209 runs at 16.07.
Ponting had a similarly lopsided season, and one that was by his lofty standards relatively quiet. But in a side that has struggled to maintain its No. 1 position, Ponting's 974 Test runs at 44.27 have been invaluable. He scored three centuries during the voting period but his efforts didn't always equate to Australian victories, as at the MCG in December, when he scored 101 and 99 in the loss to South Africa.
In one-day internationals, Ponting's form was less impressive and he made 309 runs at 25.75 with a highest score of 69. Ponting was visibly surprised when he was announced as one of the winners and he said he had expected Clarke or Johnson to take out the honour.
"This is an amazing shock to me," Ponting said. "I was sitting back at the table tonight and waiting for Pup or Mitch to get up here tonight and accept the award. As we all know it's been an up-and-down year for the team. Everybody at the moment is writing us off but I know deep down in my heart that we're not very far away at all.
"It's been an amazing time with some of our greats leaving the team, some obviously very young and exciting players coming into the team. It's an amazing challenge for me and certainly for Michael to keep leading this team in the right direction, hopefully showing some direction and passing on some experience to the younger guys."
Clarke was also named the Test Player of the Year for the first time, while Nathan Bracken was rewarded for his outstanding limited-overs bowling form with his first One-Day International Player of the Year title. In the Test category, Clarke won with 12 votes from Ponting and Simon Katich, who were in joint second with 10.
Bracken picked up his one-day award thanks to a one-vote buffer from the second-placed Hussey, who himself was one vote clear of Shaun Marsh in third. Bracken played 16 of Australia's 17 ODIs during the voting period and he collected 22 wickets at 24.50, with an economy rate of 4.09. He was the Player of the Series in last year's CB Series against Sri Lanka and India.
He began the voting period with his best bowling for the year, when he collected 4 for 29 against Sri Lanka at the MCG. Bracken's season stayed strong after that and he had a particularly productive tour of the West Indies, where he picked up eight wickets at 19.75 and helped the side complete a 5-0 whitewash.
Bracken has developed a formidable reputation as a death bowler and he said it was a role he enjoyed. "It's good fun, it's something that I really enjoy doing," Bracken said upon receiving his trophy. "I guess it's good being in control at the end."
Pakistan should not welcome Amir back
The serene team culture cultivated by Misbah and his men shouldn't be allowed to be disrupted by a player with a tainted past
November games need November prices
An early start to the international season, coupled with costly tickets, have kept the Australian public away from the cricket
The inherent dangers of batting
The sickening blow that struck Phillip Hughes is a reminder of the ever-present dangers associated with facing fast bowlers, even while wearing a helmet
Hope for Hughes, feel for Abbott
It is impossible to imagine how Sean Abbott must feel after sending down that bouncer to Phillip Hughes. While the cricket world hopes for Hughes' recovery, it should also ensure Abbott is supported
Why the Indian opener would be well advised to shelve the hook and pull in Australia
November games need November prices (85)
An early start to the international season, coupled with costly tickets, have kept the Australian public away from the cricket
The inherent dangers of batting (43)
The sickening blow that struck Phillip Hughes is a reminder of the ever-present dangers associated with facing fast bowlers, even while wearing a helmet
A crisis that defines the age (40)
Never mind cricket's absence from free-to-air TV - changes in social attitudes, the demands of work, and an individualistic age are all contributing to a decline in participation
Misbah's Pakistan or Imran's Pakistan? (38)
Pakistan have notched up some fine wins under Misbah-ul-Haq's leadership, but they haven't yet achieved consistent results outside the UAE
Going out to play cricket today would have been near enough to impossible. Even doing so next week in the nets and at the Gabba for the first Test will be difficult

The Home of John Train
From the desk of Jon Houlon...
Wednesday, November 12th, John Train plays The Wallace Brothers Band's Country Music Nite at Bob & Barbara's Lounge (1509 South Street). We play a full set at 9 PM. You should stick around if you can 'cause these Country Music Nights over at B&B's are a gas and culminate with the Wallace Bros. themselves playing a couple late night honky tonk sets. Last time we participated, I sang "Lonesome On'ry and Mean" with 'em. And that's about how I feel most of the time anyway.
Hope to see you Wednesday.
Three for Lou
There's been so much great stuff written about Lou Reed since his passing. I'm not sure what I can add.
But here's my favorite three Lou Reed covers that perhaps you haven't heard before.
1. Go to Blazes, Underneath the Bottle
GTB always had great covers in their repertoire. They even made a sort of "covers" record called "and Other Crimes". It contains stellar versions of songs by Gordon Lightfoot, Gene Clark, Kinky Friedman, Lee Hazelwood and our late friend Bruce Langfeld. A few rockin' originals are thrown in for good measure. But my favorite track is their take on Lou Reed's "Underneath the Bottle". Lou's version on the Blue Mask is powerful but somehow GTB made this song about alcoholism even more visceral. We'll be doing GTB's version over at the World Cafe on Saturday night.
2. Tommy Keene, Kill Your Sons
Tommy is my hometown hero (a Bethesda/Rockville, Maryland guy). He cut this Lou Reed song on his debut album for Geffen called "Songs from the Film" produced by Sir George Martin. Yea, that George Martin! Here he is rocking out "Kill Your Sons" at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. In addition to being a fine songwriter, Tommy is quite the guitar slinger. He brings a wild abandon to this song, one of Lou's most personal and saddest. Lou was given electro-shock as as young man due to his uh, irregular, behavior. Kill Your Sons, indeed. Same thing happened to Townes Van Zandt.
3. Howard Tate, How Do You Think It Feels?
Here's one by the late Philly/Camden soul singer Howard Tate. Howard cut some legendary sides with Jerry Ragovoy in the '60s but then disappeared. He struggled with addiction on the streets of Camden, eventually turned his life around and began his own ministry. About ten years before his death, he re-emerged to claim his position as one of the greatest soul singers of all time. His cut of this Lou Reed song from "Berlin" rings so true. Howard knew how it felt. Bonus: Lou plays guitar on the track!
Enjoy. Hope to see you on Saturday.
Happy Holidays, Jon

I am creating a small program that uses tkinter and pyttsx for interaction with the user. For some reason the script exits after having said 'button clicked', while it should stay in the mainloop. Even stranger, it does not even pass the 'checkpoint' I added below the mainloop.
Here's a simplified version of the code that produces the error:
import Tkinter as tk
import pyttsx
def button_click():
engine.say('button clicked')
engine = pyttsx.init()
root = tk.Tk()
gameframe = tk.Frame(root)
readybutton = tk.Button(gameframe, text = 'click', command = button_click)
How to solve this problem?
Update: via Google I found some indications this issue may have something to do with both tkinter and pyttsx using event loops, and with how Apple's Foundation and/or ObjC modules handle events. Since I'm a newbie to Python, I don't understand it well but some of you might, see http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.pyobjc.devel/5965.
I also found an almost-too-simple, mac-specific workaround that avoids using pyttsx completely:
import os
phrase = 'button clicked'
os.system("/usr/bin/say " + phrase)
This works well, also in combination with tkinter :-)

Drew Cline: Dan Innis is no political lightweight
Congressional candidate Dan Innis, on leave from position as dean of UNH business school, during an interview at the Union Leader on Wednesday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
"I haven't been active in the party," he concedes. "When you're a dean at a state-funded business school, you can't be that active."
But he calls himself a "free-market conservative," and he has a plan for winning the primary despite being less well-known than Guinta. Asked to sum up his message in a quick slogan, he says: "New ideas, new solutions."
"Washington is broken," he tells potential voters. And he wants to fix it by focusing on three big changes. By reforming the federal budgeting process, the tax code and the regulatory system, Innis says Congress can revitalize the economy. He speaks with the passion of a business owner and the vocabulary of a professor.

Buying the best camera gear on the market will not turn you into the best photographer on the planet. It will move you in that direction, but if you don't alter your thinking when framing pictures, you'll remain lost in the void.

It was just last week that I wrote a review of the Stratus MFi Bluetooth game controller. This game controller is one of three on the market at this time, and in my opinion it's the best of them. Now I've got some great news for anyone who either just purchased one, or was about to.
Welcome to the first installment of Game Centered 2014, it's good to be back in the swing of things after the holidays and CES! Game Centered features roundups and in-depth reviews of the best in iOS games and related gaming news. Among the App Store's myriad games, it's all too easy to overlook some of the greats. Each installment of Game Centered will take a close look at a select few worthy of special recognition, as well as any news stories that are particularly relevant to the iOS gaming community.
This week we've certainly got a lot games to cover; it's been almost a month since the last Game Centered installment and a lot of great new apps have hit the App Store since then! We've also got a new rumor stirring up interest in the gaming sector; if you're a fan of Zelda or Mario, you won't want to miss it!
The new SteelSeries Stratus game controller ($99.99) is available to pre-order now and the website promises the controller will ship within 30 days. I've been working with the SteelSeries game controller a lot lately, and I have to say, besides the fact that it's the only wireless (Bluetooth) game controller on the market, it's ergonomic and it handles well. The sensitivity is finely tweaked making the controller quick and responsive, without much glitchiness or lag.
Over the years I've had a strong love/hate relationship with the Infinity Blade series. It has been by turns, a highly rewarding, premium game experience and also a very disappointing one. My issues with the IB series go back to my experience with the very first Infinity Blade, which at one point refused to even open (using an iPhone 4 and iPad 2 at the time) for over six months (in fact, I was never able to resolve that issue before I moved on to IB II), to the present day's scandal. The game series, for all of its amazing gameplay, strong storyline, and stellar graphics, seems to have been plagued with consistently recurring development problems, bugs, and glitches. But this latest fiasco takes the cake...
CES 2014 saw a slew of protective cases for the new iPad Air in all shapes, styles, and colors. Finding a case that stood out from the crowd was no easy task. After looking closely at what seemed like hundreds of cases, the Pelican Pro Vault ($99.95) emerged as one of best cases for the iPad Air, and certainly the best case for the Air if you are looking for rugged, heavy-duty protection.
LaCie, the popular, Mac-friendly hard drive manufacturer introduced their new Fuel hard drive ($199.99) this year at CES. The LaCie Fuel 1TB hard drive is a one-of-a-kind storage device that serves as a Wi-Fi hotspot for your stored data, and runs seamlessly and intuitively with your iDevices. We were quite impressed with the Fuel and it even went on to win an iPhone Life Best of CES 2014 award. Read on for more details about what makes the new Fuel such a champion among portable storage systems.
Ōlloclip makes some of my favorite tools for iPhone photography and this year at CES the company was there in force, showing off their impressive new array of iPhoneography gear.

The gal who hates finish lines is here... with a little reverie over "when is a finish line NOT a finish line"? When it is a transition! Just about everything that "feels like a finish line" with a little bit of insight and work, can be seen as some kind of transition... because "there is no finish line".
Life has dozens if not hundreds, thousands, or millions of these transitions.
There are the tiny daily ones: bed to up and awake. From home to work mode, and vice versa. From one task to the next. In school, changing classes. In books, chapters, changes to a different set of characters or plot lines.
There are the annual ones: changing of the seasons, planting and harvest, Holidays, vacations.
There are the major life ones: Graduation from a given level of school, moving on to the next or to a working life. Marriage. Addition of members to the family (furry ones, too). Loss of loved ones. Kids growing up and moving out. Health issues or injuries.
There are major lifestyle (or financial) changes that can give pause: getting, losing, or changing jobs, moving to a new house or apartment. Downsizing, upsizing, relocating.
These changes happen to us all. They are a part of life. They shape us as we adapt to them.
Now take a look at the changes in your life and where you put health and fitness in your list of priorities as these changes occurred. Did you (as I did) leave it off the list of priorities? Drop it to the bottom of the list (just until this crisis is past)? Wish for it, but not act on the wish?
What brought you to Spark? It wasn't just that you heard about it from a friend, or saw an ad... there was a motivation inside you that said "I have to do something about my life, health, fitness"... and you came. Will you stay, through all the rest of life's transitions? Will you keep the Spark alive?
Life's good... Spark on!
Another photo from the triathlon on Sunday. This one shows people in transition.
The young woman in turquoise / blue is one of the juniors, transitioning from her bike ride to her run, pulling her hair down and headed for that blue archway where the run begins. The one in hot pink is one of the adults, transitioning from swim to bike, on her way to the bike starting line.
Transitions in a triathlon are very specific, but we have many transitions in the larger sense of life. Whatever change comes our way, we need to transition to whatever new routine will support that change. There are short transitions and long ones. Some can be planned for, others not so much.
The triathletes who think ahead and have everything laid out to make for a smooth transition shave vital seconds off their race time if the race is a close one. In life, some transitions can be similarly planned for and laid out... adding a new job? Changing schedules? Think ahead and plan for how you'll handle it without undermining your larger goal of living healthy... will you carry your lunch to work? Will you alter the time of your workouts? Will you take breaks? Stretch at your desk if it is a sedentary job?
Things can be unpredictable in transitions. A competitor has to be able to alter plans without becoming ruffled. Shoelace break? Having trouble finding the clip on the bike pedal... take the time to adjust and fix it, and your race goes smoother.
Life's journey has many transitions... here's to not letting them frustrate us, but to resiliently making them and getting into the rhythm for the next phase as smoothly as we can. It may be difficult (I know it often is for me)... but it is well worth it!
Life's good. Spark on!
I just had the best morning. No, I did not run another race... this time I took my camera with me and walked over the the venue where the State Games was having the Triathlon competition.
In case anybody who reads these has been living under a rock and doesn't know what a triathlon is, it combines a swim, a bike ride, and a running event, all into the same race. In between the events is "transition", where the swimmer changes into the biker, and the biker into the runner, and starts the next event in the sequence. That said, here are a few shots of the Juniors, for whom this was a qualifying event for "real" events later in the year.
Swim start:
First swimmer got out (0.47 mile swim) when the clock said:
Here he is starting his bike ride:
At the end of his first loop of the ride (there were three loops around the outer perimeter of the park containing the lake where the swim was done all the way out to the Library I sometimes walk to, adding to a total of 20K / 12 miles):
Him again, returning after the third lap:
Starting his 5K run:
And coming on toward the finish line. I missed the clock, the shot was badly lighted, but he did this all in an hour and eight minutes and change. Amazing performance for a 16 year old. His 14 year old sister finished ten minutes behind him, and his nearest competition 8 minutes.
Next year? May...be me as a participant? May...be... that's a huge time commitment to train. We'll see... but some of you all know about me and my bucket list... a TRI is on it.
Oh, and as a spectator, I put in 15,000 steps, moving from spot to spot to snap my photos and cheer the athletes on.
I've been whining about and questioning my sanity in signing up for the Cornhusker State Games 5K for however long it's been since my son talked me into it. Last night was the night.
We got to the Minor League ball park where the event was starting and finishing way early. I follow directions well... when they tell me to show up early, I do. So we had a lot of hanging around time watching them prepare the ball park for the baseball game that would be concurrent to the run.
Interestingly enough, they are featuring their Friday home games as "fitness Fridays". You know the drill, "T-Shirt Tuesdays"... etc. Well, it's Fitness Fridays. Which made a great tie-in for the State Games to start their 5K between the two ball parks and finish inside the stadium itself.
We stood in respect as the national anthem started off the ball game, then lined up for the 7:30 p.m. start to the footrace. I spotted HOT4FITNESS and her husband, and introduced my son, who had missed meeting her at the Half Marathon since I'd so badly estimated our performance and finish time.
It started rather abruptly with an air horn. Large group of runners began that slow-motion start. It was HOT in the setting sun, but there was a good breeze, especially inside the stadium. Son promised to run "mom's race", staying with me to prod me on. Jogged until the first water station, which was beyond mile 1. I dropped to a walk telling son that I would walk through the hydration... and I really needed the water by then. Didn't matter how much I took on earlier in the day. I walked several more times, but each time I did, I got recovery and started jogging again.
The hardest part was getting back into the stadium around that huge concrete parking lot, radiating heat absorbed during the day. I was speed walking at the turn back toward the stadium, and the workers said something nice about my form. Pride puffed me up as there was a photographer along the sidewalk along the outside of the stadium leading around toward the finish line. Guess who started jogging yet again? I finished in 32:51. This is not a personal best, but I figured it's pretty respectable for me under the conditions. I was NOT going to kill myself for this race.
Son was right behind me at the finish, pushing me on. We returned our timing chips, hydrated, stretched, and walked around, cooling off. I had to go get a paper towel from the women's room, as I was dripping sweat into my eyes! But it felt good. We did it!
We each had a hot dog... probably my one concession to that particular nutritionally suspect food for the year... it tasted wonderful in the aftermath of the run. Then they started announcing the finishers. First the overall winners, male and female. We're talking 16:30 (almost half my time) for the fastest finisher overall... young men, obviously fit and serious runners. You know there are a whole lot of serious runners out there, but the State Games are a special deal: more to promote activity for the joy of activity than a competition for the elite.
They also do the age/gender division awards... and they started with the youngest runners. We applauded and oohed over the times as they handed out the medals. As they got to my son's age division the times were awesome... I think the three top finishers in that age group were within seconds of one another.
When they got to the 40 something females, the times started sounding more reasonable... and my son kind of joked at me that I could be among the top finishers in my division. I discounted this at once, knowing we have a number of "real runners" in town. You could have knocked me over when they said, "Females, 55 - 59" and announced my name as "first place". O-M-G! So, when you see the photo, there is this look of amazement on my face.
This "tough old bird" is now in possession of a gold medal. And can't stop grinning. Who'd have thought?
When I was growing up, I was part of a group of five siblings. My mother was a talker (you KNEW I got it from somewhere) and there wasn't a one of us five who didn't know what our teachers said about us in conference.
One of mom's favorite kind of story to share would be about going to meet some teacher or another and having the conference about one or another of us kids, hearing something good about us (of course telling us just what good thing it was, to reinforce it), and commenting, "are we talking about the same kid"? Which is the *real* identity? As in yesterday's blog... both are the same kid.
My son explained it to me, years later. The phenomenon of why children behave so much more responsibly for people other than their parents is really pretty simple, his ten year old self said. "You HAVE to love me, no matter what. My teachers don't." I could go into that being an accolade for getting the message across about unconditional love, but it would be a digression.
Yesterday's blog about among other things, my nature as a compulsive eater elicited a comment from KALIGIRL, whom I met for the first time in real life last weekend: "but you seem so easy and self-assured..." Becky, so do you! You're an amazing woman.
Yes, we are talking about the same kids. You met me while I am living abstinent. It is similar to the difference between the sober and the binging alcoholic. I once heard a fellow traveler comment (about her abstinence) that she could not live the life she was currently living without it. I recognize how right that statement was.
I like me a whole lot better abstinent. It is my hope and prayer to live this way for the rest of my life. To be given the willingness to do so, one decision at a time. It does not require perfection, but it does require vigilance.
Life's good. Spark on!

Penn Forest council faces assault, misappropriations allegations
Updated On: Jun 03 2014 06:16:54 AM CDT
A raucous Penn Forest Board of Supervisors meeting Monday was punctuated by allegations of physical assault and misappropriation of funds levied against several council members.
During a contentious public comment period that spanned nearly an hour, numerous residents cited claims made by former township supervisor Paul Montemuro at last week's board meeting that township officials had previously misappropriated $1.6 million in funds.
Montemuro, who lost his bid for re-election in 2012, has targeted incumbent Chairman Warren Reiner in accusations that he has taken to the Carbon County district attorney, the state police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
At the public meeting, Reiner again rebuked the allegations, at one point speaking directly to Montemuro in attendance.
"I wasn't going to run in the next election, but if you're going to run, Paul, I'm in," said Reiner.
"If you're not in jail," Montemuro quipped.
Township solicitor Thomas Nanovic meanwhile continued to defend the councilman, saying that to this point investigations have proven fruitless.
"To my knowledge no one that has been given [this information] has done anything with it," he said.
The allegations did not end there though.
Cynthia Henning, the garbage administrator for Penn Forest Township, was terminated from her post Monday following a physical dispute that has both sides calling foul play.
According to Henning's representation, on May 9 she was working at town hall when she heard a dispute between two board members and proceeded to enter the room.
She says that one of the two supervisors, Chairman Reiner, proceeded to physically assault her by forcefully grabbing her and shoving her out of the room.
Henning reported the incident to local police and purported to receive a letter from township secretary Marry Ann Lewellyn corroborating her story.
The council, however, saw the incident differently.
"It was claimed that my client was not in fact touched, but that she did the touching," said Henning's attorney.
Solicitor Thomas Nanovic instructed the supervisors not to comment on the matter.
At Monday's meeting Henning was discharged following an executive session.
Fellow staffer Carolyn Matthews also had her employment terminated.

My experience at The Marquette was excellent from the moment at check in. Wonderful helpful staff made who an effort to help me with questions. My room was decorated in a rather modern style (which I liked) and had a nice view of the downtown.
I ordered room service and was happy with the taste, timeliness of the delivery and price.
Great location downtown, close to everything (entertainment, restaurants, shopping).
I'd stay again.

Why 2014 is the year of Bill Murray
With three new films, an old one remastered, and a day named in his honour by TIFF, there are plenty of reasons to celebrate Bill Murray.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
It's been a good year for Bill Murray.
The comedy superstar has already starred in two films (The Monuments Men and The Grand Budapest Hotel) and a third, St. Vincent, will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.
Festival organizers have also named Sept. 5 "Bill Murray Day," giving fans a chance to rewatch his classic comedies Stripes, Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters for free at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. It's the same day the American actor is expected in town for St. Vincent.
Two of Murray's biggest hits are currently being celebrated, too. Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II have been restored and remastered, and both will be back in theatres starting Aug. 29. The 30th anniversary edition of Ghostbusters and the 25th anniversary edition of Ghostbusters II will be released on DVD on Sept. 16.
Beyond his movie roles, here are five more reasons to celebrate Bill Murray:
1. He goes above and beyond for his fans
When some fans asked Murray for an autograph, he did them one better by appearing in a fake movie trailer with them. In the Wes Anderson-esque video, Murray joins four men to walk in slow motion down a hall.
2. His eclectic fashion sense
Whether he's mixing plaids or wearing costumes in public, Murray knows how to make a fashion statement. The avid golfer seems to be particularly fond of getting dressed up to go out on the green.
3. His bartending skills
Murray surprised patrons of an Austin, Tex., bar when got behind the wood during the music festival South By Southwest in 2010 and started taking drink orders. The actor reportedly served shots of tequila no matter what people asked for.
4. He shares art with others
Murray stopped by the under-construction Poets House in New York City in 2009 and took some time to read poetry to the construction workers. "They get worse," he tells the crowd after finishing the first poem. "So if you want to lie down or take a sick day, do it now."
5. He admits to his mistakes
Garfield didn't get great reviews when it hit theatres in 2004, and some critics questioned why Murray ever agreed to voice the cartoon cat. The actor explained what happened to GQ in 2010: he made a mistake.
When Murray read the Garfield script, he thought it had been written by Joel Coen of the Coen brothers' fame. In fact, it was written by Joel Cohen of Cheaper by the Dozen and Evan Almighty fame.
