Focus: New paradigms for the nuclear energy sector
A wave of innovation is sweeping across the nuclear sector – so much so that it is difficult for financiers to pick winners at this stage. But the biggest innovation may come in the form of a new investment paradigm that involves private investors much more than in the past, writes specialised nuclear energy reporter Dan Yurman in the May issue of World Energy Focus, the World Energy Council's magazine.

Jets coach Rex Ryan: Patriots 'need to worry about us'
|07.20.14 at 11:16 am ET
Sounds like Rex Ryan is back to being old Rex again.
After sounding chastened the last few years, in a series of interviews Saturday, the Jets coach sounded off about the state of the NFL, his own legacy, and where the Jets stand in relation to the Patriots.
"Somebody asked me if we focus on New England. Bull[expletive]," Ryan told the New York Post. "We're focused on us. We're focused on us and how are we going to be better. I have to be honest, I don't worry about them. They need to worry about us. I think that's really where we're at now."
Ryan didn't make any Super Bowl predictions, but still sounded confident in his abilities as a head coach.
"Do I think that I'm a great coach? I absolutely know I'm a great coach," Ryan told Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. "But it's not just about me. What makes a great coach is the people that surround you, the people that are with you every day."
Ryan, who has a 46-40 career record as a head coach and has seen his team fall short of the postseason the last three years, will lead the Jets against the Patriots twice this season — Oct. 16 in Foxboro and Dec. 21 in North Jersey.

Family pay tribute to grandmother, 91, found dead in flooded home as witness claims she refused to leave fearing her breakfast would get cold
- Margaret Hughes would have celebrated her 92nd birthday tomorrow
- She was found dead in her flooded home in St Asaph, North Wales, yesterday
- Neighbours say she did not want to leave because she was eating breakfast and was warm inside her home
- The family of the grandmother said she was 'still very much full of life'
Full of life: The family of Margaret Hughes, pictured, said she was 'strong willed with a real sense of humour'
The family of a grandmother who died just days before her 92nd birthday when her bungalow flooded described her today as 'very active' and said she was looking forward to Christmas.
Margaret Hughes was found dead on Tuesday after flood water rushed into her home in St Asaph, North Wales.
Neighbours said the grandmother remained in her home when the River Elwy burst its banks despite pleas for her to evacuate.
Some 500 properties were flooded when the tiny city was left under 5ft of water.
Mrs Hughes, who would have celebrated her birthday tomorrow, was found dead by rescuers who were checking homes in St Asaph.
Yesterday, the family of Mrs Hughes, who was known as Maggie, said they have been 'devastated' by her death.
The statement, on behalf of her daughter, four grandsons and granddaughter, said: 'She was still very much full of life.
'She was very active and strong willed with a real sense of humour and fun and she had been looking forward to Christmas.
'She was very active and loved nothing more than entertaining her grandchildren and great grandchildren with cups of tea and mince pies with which she would overwhelm them particularly at Christmas.
'Maggie came from an old stock of Welsh farmers, she spent most of her early life working on farms.
'And she enjoyed taking long walks and would go out collecting firewood well into her eighties.'
Mrs Hughes, a widow, moved to her home in St Asaph after her farmer husband died.
Neighbour Steven Green said he pleaded with Mrs Hughes to leave her home as the flood waters began to rise.
Homes: Margaret Hughes was found dead in her flooded bungalow, pictured, when the water reached above the post box on her raised front door
Mr Green, who was staying at his parent's home when the river burst, said he asked her in Welsh to leave but she said she did not want to leave her breakfast.
He said: 'At that time the water was two or three inches below her feet. She refused to leave her home because her breakfast would go cold. But, no one really expected the water to rise so quickly and when it did it was constantly on my mind she was still in there.
'Unfortunately, a few hours later she was found dead. It was inevitable because the water was so cold and to such a height it was an inevitability that an old lade like that would die in those conditions.'
He said in hindsight he should have 'insisted' she evacuate.
Mr Green, who works as a banker in the Phillipines, added: 'But you know she was an old lady and she was eating her breakfast and that was the main concern; that she was in the middle of her breakfast and she didn't want to leave it. She had the fire on and she was warm and cosy and didn't want to go out into the elements because she thought she would escape it but unfortunately she didn't.
'I've lived here since I was ten years old and have known her for eighteen years and seen her most days and it's very, very sad.'
Pleaded: Steven Green said Margaret Hughes refused to leave her house when he called round because she did not want her breakfast to go cold
Under water: Aeriel photographs show the extent of the flooding in St Asaph after the River Elwy burst its banks
Big deal: Loaves of bread and teabags are awash in a flooded grocery store
Neighbour Charlie Telford, who also lives in the Tai'r Felin bungalows, said he and his wife Margaret left as the waters rose.
He said: 'It was eight o'clock in the morning and we were just having a coffee.
'I looked out of the window and somebody was carrying a lady across. The water was about a foot deep outside and so I said to my wife come on we'll have to get our Wellingtons on.
'We got them on and went straight out and that's all we could do we had to leave everything.
'I left my canary in the cage and rescued my little Jack Russell terrier and we managed to drive the car because it was only just over a foot deep then. We took the dog with us and we've just been back for the canary but someone's taken it to the refuge centre.
'Margaret lived next door but one to us and she was a lovely lady.'
Under water: Roads became rivers in St Asaph as waters reached 5ft high at its peak and homes and businesses were submerged
Evacuated: RNLI crews rescue residents from their flooded homes in St Asaph. The high waters also closed roads, leaving some communities virtually cut off
Country-wide: Crews from Gloucestershire fire and rescue service check isolated properties along the river Severn near Tirley, Gloucestershire. At least 900 homes have been evacuated because of flooding in recent days
Neighbour Mandy Williams said: 'She was looking forward to going shopping for her birthday.
'She always had a lovely word to say to people. She used to go to the coffee mornings every Wednesday.
'It's very tragic, just so sad.
'I was with her poor daughter for two hours yesterday while she waited for news of her mother.'When I heard what had happened, it was awful.'
Mrs Hughes was one of four people to have been killed in the recent floods.
Days of torrential rain have flooded roads and more than 900 homes.
On Saturday, a 21-year-old woman was killed by falling tree in Exeter and a 50-year-old man died after falling into a canal in Watford.
On Thursday, John McNair, 77, died after his car became trapped in a flooded ford in Chew Stoke, Somerset.
The Environment Agency has warned that the flood risk remains high across the country, with 277 alerts and 204 warnings in place in England and Wales.

USA Today: Palin did not ban books in Wasilla as mayorBreaking News
Since being selected as John McCain's running mate, Palin has faced questions over discussions she had with Wasilla's librarian in 1996. In recent days, a bogus list of"banned books" has been widely circulated on the Internet.
But on its website, the city of Wasilla posted a statement asserting that no books at the library have ever been banned.
The statement notes that the library has a policy to handle requests to remove books. During a period of more than two decades four books have been challenged by library patrons, including a book in 2005 by television comedian Jon Stewart, America (The Book), according to the city.
Related Commentary & News Links
Despite the whitewashing attempt being made by the Republican Party, it is obvious to me that the allegation stands, that Palin inquired pointedly and repeatedly with the Wasilla librarian about how to remove objectionable books from the library.
"Mary Ellen Emmons was Wasilla's librarian at the time. She told a local newspaper, the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman, in December 1996 that Palin repeatedly had asked her about removing books from the library, but said Palin never mentioned specific titles, according to the Anchorage Daily News.
Palin has cast her questions about the library's policy, including at a 1996 City Council meeting, as theoretical. Her critics, including a city resident who attended the meeting, say the questioning was more direct.
"There was no way that I thought it was rhetorical," said Anne Kilkenny, who said she attend ed the meeting where Palin raised the issue but says she did not remember Palin's exact words."

CPSC Tips for choosing Toys for Children
Select toys to suit the age, abilities, skills and interest level of the intended child. Toys too advanced may pose safety hazards to younger children.
For infants, toddlers and all children who still mouth objects, avoid toys with small parts, which could pose a fatal choking hazard.
Look for sturdy construction, such as tightly-secured eyes, noses and other potential small parts.
For all children under 8, avoid toys that have sharp edges and points.
Avoid electric toys with heating elements for a child under 8.
Be a label reader. Look for toy labels that give age and safety recommendations and use that information as a guide.
Check toy instructions for clarity – for both you and, when appropriate, the child.
Immediately discard plastic wrappings on toys, which can cause suffocation, before they become deadly playthings.
Choking Hazards
Keep small objects like small toys and parts of toys, marbles, balloons, small balls and coins off the floor and out of reach of children.
Toys designed for older children should be kept out of the hands of little ones.
Follow labels that give age recommendations; these age recommendations are based on safety concerns.
Teach older children to help keep their toys away from younger siblings.
Check the eyes and noses of stuffed animals to ensure they are properly secured.

Yes, Lorena is still with me, and considered one of the most beautiful girls in the village
Part 2 of 2
Continued from yesterday…
"It was a trying hour indeed," said Mrs. McFerrin. Lorena learned of their predicament, and fearing that she would be permanently separated from her kind friend, trembled with emotion, saying in Spanish, "Do not leave me! Please do not leave me!"
The situation was explained to the officer in charge of the health office, with an earnest appeal to give Lorena a good health certificate, as she had not been exposed to small pox. "No, she must be vaccinated; and she cannot be vaccinated until office hours, 2 to 4 p.m.," was the stern reply. This would be two hours after the departure of the steamer.
Mrs. McFerrin learned of a mission home in Havana. She hurried with Lorena to the home. Here arrangements were made to have the child vaccinated and remain there until she could be sent for. It was all made clear to Lorena and Mrs. McFerrin bade her an affectionate farewell and hurried to her steamer, not expecting to see her again for several weeks.
That dear little orphan girl should not have been separated from her loving protector. We sometimes find foolish rulings, with fools to execute them-fellows that will strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. If the official who refused to issue a good health certificate to Lorena had been a broad-gauge man he would have ignored the fool rules, precedents and red tape and given her a good health certificate; and if that were impossible, if he had been a sympathetic and resourceful man–a man big enough for the place–he could have put the child in a big basket, covered her over with the stars and stripes, and had the basket and contents carried on board the steamer.
But all's well that ends well.
Fortunately the steamer was detained as stated above, and Lorena received a vaccination certificate in time to join her protector before her departure. I shall never forget, and the passengers who witnessed their meeting and greeting will never forget, how this affectionate and appreciative Cuban child threw her little brown arms around Mrs. McFerrin's neck and shed tears of joy–tears that were more eloquent than words.
The above narrative was written in May, 1889, after my return from Cuba for an Ohio journal. This summer I sent a copy of the narrative to Mrs. McFerrin and wrote to her making some inquiries about the little, dark-eyed Cuban damsel. The answer follows:
Oliver Springs, Tenn., July 31, 1906.
"My Dear Mr. Mann:–Of course I remember you and have often wondered if I should ever again see any of those who came over from Cuba with us, and can assure you I was so glad to get the copy of the newspaper article you sent me.
"Yes, Lorena is still with me and she is considered one of the most beautiful girls in our village, and she is as good as she is beautiful. Her devotion to me is truly lovely; but I will lose her now, as she recently married Mr. John C. Walker, a corporal in the Tenth Infantry, United States Army. So you see Lorena is 'under the flag of her lovely beloved America.'
"After I brought Lorena home, she said: 'Mama, America dead," (You know it was a late spring, and the trees were dead so far as the leaves are concerne,d especially to Lorena, coming from a tropical and always green island). 'No", I said, 'America is not dead, but sleeping.' A few weeks later she ran into the house and said: 'Mama, America waking up, come and see,' and she pointed to the trees which had begun to put forth their green leaves.
"I do wish you could see her, Mr. Mann. We would be glad to have you repay us a visit. This is a beautiful wild country and you could find much to interest you; so just pack your trunk and come down. We will give you a hearty welcome. Come soon, as Lorena leaves in a few weeks for Chattanooga.
"My son, Colonel H. Hannah [torn] of Tennessee I enclose you a photograph of Lorena. It is not as good as it could be, but I send it to let you form some idea of how she looks. Will send you a better picture as soon as we can have some taken. Also send you a clipping from the Nashville Banner. You will see by the engraving that I am veteran of two wars. My husband wore the gray, my son wore the blue; and I thank God there is no South nor North; no West nor East, but one great America, and I pray it may be so forever.
"Hope you are well, and with best wishes for your success, I am you friend,
Mrs. R.A. McFerrin."
Colonial Hall, Oliver Springs, TN. In this house, Elizabeth "Lillie" Gerding Hannah raised her two sons, Harvey Horatio and Gerald (by her first husband, Maj. John Hannah), her daughter, Bernice McFerrin (by her second husband, Dr. R.A. McFerrin), and the orphaned Cuban girl, Lorena Maria Lacarada Paidrone, whom she brought from Cuba following the Spanish-American War.

An interesting postscript to this story. I was home the other day. (I live in Colonial Hall) and saw a woman peeping over my gate. She wanted to know if she could take a picture. I told her yes and was about to get off the porch so I wouldn't be in the shot. She asked me if I ever heard of Lorena. I was shocked. It was her great-great granddaughter, and she had brought Lorena's 80 year-old granddaughter to see the place where her grandmother grew up. She found my house through this article. I had often wondered about Lorena and why she was buried in the Hannah plot when I knew that she had married due to reading this article years ago when I did research on the family who lived in my house. I often wondered if she had kids and what happened to them.
This is fascinating! I am actually related to the Hannahs/Macferrins. My grandfather was Harvey Horatio Hannah II. His sister, Geraldine, owned this home until the current owner (Heather, above) bought it. One of my aunt's is our "family historian" but I have not heard this story before. Thank you for sharing! (Heather from above, I'd love to get in touch with you!)
I am the great great granddaughter of Lorena and periodically check sites, as I am still looking for more information about her. Especially any stories of her life. (Stories mean the most!!) I have found out a lot about her but sadly have hit a dead end road as of today. Heather thank you so very much for the picture you sent to my family and the hospitality you and your mother showed us. I have the picture framed and hanging on my wall. Thanks to you we were able to see where she lived and finally where she was laid to rest. I still think about the small little head stone with the only word engraved in it — "Lorena".
My grandmother is doing well and is 84 now and still talks about our road trip to Oliver Springs. Lorena's short life is a sweet and tragic story all wrapped in one. Not only how she arrived here but her life thereafter. The loss of her parents, adoption and adapting to a family of strangers, adapting to TN and its cultures, her marriage to John C. Walker, the birth of their daughter "Lorena", her health and then the way and reason she ended back in Oliver Springs, only to die shortly after her return at such a young age…..If anyone has any stories, pictures or anything that can help complete her story, my family and I would be forever grateful!!
Thanks to sites such as this one we are all able to find missing pieces of our heritage and stories we can pass down to our children and grandchildren to cherish.

Two Whakatane kiwifruit pickers fired after a violent punchup with their boss's son were justifiably dismissed, the Employment Relations Authority says.
Ricky and Tony Tiopira were hired as kiwifruit pickers and pruners by a company called Aulack in April 2012, on a farm owned and operated by Murray Brown, Marie Brown, and their son, Michael Brown.
One morning in September, the Tiopiras arrived at work, and lowered an electric tape gate before driving onto the farm.
Michael Brown saw them lower the tape and took exception, as it was about 50 metres from the milking shed, where passing cows could stray into the wrong paddock.
In a statement to police, Brown said he yelled to the Tiopiras: "wait for the f...... cows, man."
Brown said Tony Tiopira responded, saying "get f..... you bald head c..., you f...... honky".
However, Tony Tiopira said that as he was about to lower the tape, he had heard Brown "yelling and swearing" at him from the cowshed.
Tony Tiopira said he yelled back, saying Brown should come over and talk to him "like a human being".
A fight then started. Brown said Tony Tiopira jumped on him, and Ricky Tiopira "got right into my face and was going apes...."
Brown said he tried to walk away, when Ricky Tiopira jump kneed him in the forehead above his left eye, then headbutted him in the forehead.
Marie Brown saw this happening, and phoned her husband but could not make contact.
Brown called his father's cellphone and told him to bring his guns.
Before his father arrived on the scene, Brown said he could remember Ricky and Tony Tiopira on either side of him, punching him in the head.
Michael Brown was diagnosed with concussion at the local hospital, and an osteopath said he had whiplash.
Ricky Tiopira told the ERA Brown had grabbed him by the collar as he tried to get out of the car and started punching him upwards into his jaw.
Tony Tiopira said Brown king-hit Ricky Tiopira on the left side of his head, so he threw two punches to Brown's head.
The managing director of the company, Hardeep Singh, listened to the version of events, and sent a letter to the Tiopiras to inform them of a disciplinary meeting, which could result in them being fired.
The Tiopiras claimed they did not get the letters, and then failed to show up for the meeting, despite Singh saying he had sent it to the right address.
On the day of the disciplinary meeting, Singh tried to call the Tiopiras on their landline and mobile phone numbers several times, with no response.
Then after several days of no contact from the Tiopiras, Singh sent a letter to them both, saying they had been fired.
The Tiopiras said they never received this dismissal letter, nor the letter inviting them to the disciplinary meeting.
They claimed their dismissal was unjustifiable, because they never had a chance to be heard and to respond to the employer before the decision was made.
ERA member Kenneth Anderson said the dismissals were justifiable, and also dismissed the company's counterclaim for $30,000 in damages, due to damaged reputation.

Both football and television will celebrate their biggest days of the year on Sunday as the Ravens take on the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. The CBS network and its affiliate stations will likely have a record day in terms of advertising revenue, and the sport itself will continue to benefit from unbelievable ratings and more than a billion viewers.
Everyone knows by now, that brothers will oppose each other as head coaches for the first time in Super Bowl history. John and Jim Harbaugh will square off Sunday at 6 p.m. as most Americans fill their plates, glasses and get a good seat in front of the television. But……did you know these little known Super Bowl facts?
They say that one out of every 12 people who watch the game are strictly watching for the commercials. With more than three million dollars spent on each 30-second commercial, its become more of a prestige thing to be in the Super Bowl. Big time actors and big time sponsors paying big time money.
Antacid sales increase by 20 percent on the Monday after the Super Bowl each year, with an unusually high, six percent of the work force calling in sick. Super Bowl Sunday is second only to Thanksgiving Day for food consumption in the United States, with an estimated 14,500 tons of potato chips, 4,000 tons of popcorn, and eight million pounds of guacamole being consumed each year.
Only three men have ever been involved with a Super Bowl winner as both a player and a coach. Mike Ditka, Tony Dungy and Tom Flores all did it.
The San Francisco 49ers have a chance to win their sixth Super Bowl Title, which would tie them with the Pittsburgh Steelers for first place all time. The Detroit Lions on the other hand, one of the oldest franchises in the NFL have never been. By the way, the city of Cleveland is the only NFL city to have never hosted a Super Bowl or ever played in one. The city of New Orleans is hosting a Super Bowl for a record tenth time.
In the 46 years since the very first AFL versus NFL Championship Game was played, (The game wasn't called the Super Bowl until 1969) ticket prices have really gone up. Tickets to that first one between the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers cost no more than six bucks. Tickets to this year's event cost hundreds of dollars for the very cheapest ticket.
Each Super Bowl is represented by a roman numeral. The 2013 contest is called Super Bowl XLVII (47), however, only three times has a Super Bowl been played with just a single roman numeral in place; Super Bowls I, V, and X. (One, five and 10) The next time a Super Bowl will have a single numeral in front of it will be in 2016, Super Bowl L. (50)
The NFC has won more Super Bowls (25) than the AFC (21).
And, finally, for you people who don't like football at all, find something else to do on Sunday. Go watch an Andy Griffith marathon, or go for a long walk, anything but be anywhere near me asking stupid questions and talking while I am trying to watch the game. You may think football is dull and even barbaric, but keep your comments to yourself. Or how about this: feel free to tweet or text all you want. You can even send emails, just let me enjoy this last football game until August. By the way, my prediction: Ravens 28 49ers 23.

First major US broadcaster begins live streaming content to iOS
ABC is the now first major broadcaster in the US to offer live streaming right on to the iPhone and iPad, with an updated to its Watch ABC application released on Tuesday.
Now available on the App Store, in the first iteration of the application's new functionality, the live viewing will be limited to the Philadelphia and New York City areas only. The Watch ABC app will identify your location, so you must be within each station's local viewing area. Furthermore, ABC says starting 1 July you will be required to verify your eligible TV provider account for access to live video. Comcast, Cablevision, Cox, AT&T U-verse, Charter, and Midcontinent are supported, so don't think you'll be able to ditch your cable subscription any time soon.
The application is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. By default, the iPad's interface features a split between the live video being streamed and a show schedule where you can plan your viewing. On the iPhone and iPod touch, you'll find an automatic full-screen view with the ability to load a schedule. Past live TV, the ABC app also offers an On Demand section for viewing shows that were aired at an earlier date. ABC says you'll find titles such as Scandal, Once Upon a Time, Modern Family, Grey's Anatomy, Good Morning America, General Hospital and more.
In a press release, ABC said it will later bring the Watch ABC live service to Los Angeles (KABC-TV), Chicago (WLS-TV), San Francisco (KGO-TV), Houston (KTRK-TV), Raleigh-Durham (WTVD-TV) and Fresno (KFSN-TV) in the very near future. Better yet, ABC says it will bring the feature to all of its 200 affiliates by autumn.
ABC says we will also see Kindle Fire and Samsung Galaxy device support in the near future.

Make flowers last
Sunday, February 14, 2010
A gift of flowers is beautiful when first received and for a short time thereafter. However, recipients of a precious Valentine's Day bouquet are soon faced with throwing their roses or other flowers away when they lose their original appeal.
Why not make use of those wilting petals? There are several fun and easy ways to repurpose roses and other flowers so they may last as a testament of a cherished gift.
Two local florists, Janet Hahs, owner of Country Shade Craft Mall, and Kathryn Landewee, owner of Knaup Floral, shared tips on how to preserve and reuse flowers that may mean too much to throw away.
~ Southeast Missourian
*** Pressing petals
Hahs suggests pressing flower petals for those who wish to use them in crafts. One decorative example she said she has seen is pressed flowers applied to a window for decoration, adhered to the glass with clear glue.
Pressing rose petals, or sprigs of smaller flowers like baby's breath, is a simple process.
To press flowers, cut small sprigs or remove petals and place inside a thick catalog or book, one per several pages, and allow to dry for up to two weeks. Since the color from the flowers could absorb into the pages, place coffee filters between the flower and the pages to absorb moisture and prevent staining.
The pressed flowers will adhere to many nonporous surfaces when covered with a clear acrylic or polyurethane glue.
For example, pressed flowers on the front of a handmade card or stationery or adorning the cover of a journal make great gifts.
Other ideas for pressed flowers or petals include adding them to containers for decorative use, such as glass votive candles, to make luminarias. To make luminarias, use clear glue to attach pressed flowers to the glass. Cover the flowers with several coats of a polyurethane adhesive, found in any craft supply store. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next coat.
A flower mosaic is another decorative option for pressed flowers. Take several photographs of the bouquet when it is first received. Have the photographs printed, and attach them to a medium-size artist's canvas. Glue the pressed flowers and other small objects to the canvas to make a mosaic.
Cut and dried
Can't stand to tear apart that beautiful bouquet?
Drying the flowers is another option, Landewee said.
In order to dry a bouquet, Landewee said to shorten the stems with scissors and use a wire hanger to hang the flowers upside down in a dark, dry place for several weeks. The entire bouquet can be preserved.
She said it would also help to preserve the flowers by first spraying them with hairspray once they begin to wilt, which she said was a more economical choice than purchasing a silicone preservation kit, found in craft supply stores.
Oil and candles
Though most Valentine's Day bouquets contain roses, Hahs said those can be the most difficult petals to reuse because they become brittle when allowed to dry.
If the flowers become too brittle to keep in a bouquet, consider adding the petals to corked glass bottles with oils, herbs and spices. Use the bottles as decorative items, and remove the lids to let aromas fill the rooms in the home.
Adding rose petals to candles is another simple and cheap way to make the most of leftover flowers with the help of a small amount of rose oil.
To make rose-scented candles, melt down lightly colored, unscented candle wax on the stove in a medium-size saucepan. Stir in the flower petals and several drops of rose oil. Pour the wax into glass jars suitable for burning candles and drop in a wick.
Since dark-colored roses, will dry to a dark brown color, Landewee gave this tip on keeping fresh flowers looking their best longer.
She said to place the flowers in a container with a solution of one cup of water and one teaspoon of sugar, in the case a flower preservation granule solution does not come with the bouquet from the florist, or happens to run out.

Lord's Test turmoil as India captain Dhoni keeps the heat on Jimmy Anderson
- Anderson involved in confrontation with Jadeja during day two of first Test
- England seamer accused of pushing and verbally abusing Indian all-rounder
- Anderson could miss final two Tests if found guilty of Level Three offence
- ICC commissioner to take evidence in next 14 days
Just when it seemed things could not get any worse for English cricket, along comes another grim day in a soap opera that shows no sign of ending.
The showpiece match of the domestic season, the Lord's Test against India, begins on Thursday but that was almost forgotten yesterday as the behaviour of players on and off duty took centre stage.
VIDEO Scroll down to watch Alastair Cook's reaction to James Anderson disciplinary saga
I know what they're doing! Alastair Cook thinks India's pursuit of James Anderson is all mind games
Alleged altercation: James Anderson and Ravi Jadeja exchanged words at Trent Bridge
Heated: James Anderson and Ravindra Jadeja exchange words during the first Test at Trent Bridge
Article 2.3.3 of ICC's Code of Conduct
the facts of the alleged incident are not adequately or clearly covered
by any of the above offences, conduct that either: (a) is contrary to
the spirit of the game; or (b) brings the game into disrepute'.
Level 3 penalty
All Level 3 breaches carry a penalty of between four and eight Suspension Points. Two suspension points equates to a ban of one Test, or two ODIs, depending on which type of match is scheduled next for the suspended player.
The deep wounds inflicted by the nightmare tour of Australia and the bitter aftermath of the Kevin Pietersen affair had begun to heal. Yet no-one was considering the chances of England ending their winless run against India yesterday. All attention was focused on a senior player accused of a physical assault on an opponent, and a junior one who embarrassed himself in a Nottingham nightclub four days before one of the biggest games of his career.
Pictures of a drunk Gary Ballance will do little to improve the image of a national side looking to win back the affections of a disillusioned public, even if England insist he had been given a night off and there was no impropriety.
More worrying was the prospect of their best bowler being suspended at a time when they desperately need a victory, any victory, to end the gloom created by the worst tour in England's history and a run of nine Tests without a win.
Physical contact is the great taboo of cricket, the 'crime' that players are forbidden to commit on the field, however heated the verbal exchanges. And it is the extent of the contact between Jimmy Anderson and Ravindra Jadeja in the narrow staircase in the Trent Bridge pavilion at lunch on the second day of the first Test that lies at the heart of an escalating and nasty dispute.
Make no mistake, this is serious. Level Three charges are rare in international cricket and the game has not seen one for six years, since India's Harbhajan Singh was accused of making a racist comment to Australia's Andrew Symonds.
Verbals: Anderson and Jadeja have a frank exchange of views out in the middle on day two of the first Test
Tension: James Anderson waits to talk to Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni at they walk off for lunch
Jubilant Jimmy: Anderson (centre) celebrates dismissing Ravindra Jadeja during the first Test
VIDEO England 'surprise' at Anderson charge
Jellybeangate: Zaheer Khan (centre) gestures to the ground where he said the sweets were in 2007
No England player has faced an accusation as serious as this under the International Cricket Council's code of conduct. Anderson, who faces a four-match ban, is said to be bemused and hurt by the accusation.
Yet it is a charge that India, and specifically their captain MS Dhoni, are insisting on which has led to a near breakdown in relations between the teams.
It is what happened in those moments when Anderson clashed with Jadeja and Dhoni as both teams entered the famous old pavilion and prepared to turn right, at the bottleneck where one staircase leads to both dressing rooms, that will determine the extent of Anderson's punishment.
Dhoni has driven this charge, despite the efforts of the ICC and senior officials from both nations to broker peace, and as the most powerful man in Indian and world cricket, what Dhoni says goes.
England's retaliation was confirmed last night when a Level Two charge was brought on Jadeja — England don't want to fall into the trap of backing long bans for both players — with the India spinner accused of 'turning suddenly and taking steps towards Anderson in an aggressive and threatening manner'. It was certainly more sudden turn than Jadeja managed with his innocuous spin bowling at Trent Bridge.
So what happened? England insist Jadeja was the aggressor as the players, in single file, prepared to climb the rickety Trent Bridge staircase, moving aggressively towards Anderson after a verbal on-field clash.

Squaring up: Joe Root (right) and Ishant Sharma were involved in a confrontation during the first Test
Making his point: Joe Root (right) and Ishant Sharma continue to argue during the first Test
India view things differently and
consider Anderson guilty of breaking that taboo by 'pushing and abusing'
Jadeja. Or are they, as Alastair Cook suggested, playing a tactical
game to rid this series of England's most important bowler?
doubts physical contact took place. It is what Anderson (below) did to
get Jadeja 'out of his space' that will determine, initially in a
preliminary hearing on Tuesday, the extent of any punishment.
sides claim to have witnesses and Sportsmail understands that several
stewards will give evidence for England. It is their word and that of
India's witnesses, who include reserves Ishwar Pandey and Pankaj Singh,
that the ICC's judicial commissioner must consider. Most players have
taken the 'Arsene Wenger' approach, as Cook put it, and claim to have
seen nothing. India were quick to act, making a complaint to the ICC the
very next day. An ICC lawyer then flew to England and spoke to both
sides in a vain attempt to resolve the matter.
ECB chairman Giles Clarke could do nothing to dissuade Dhoni from his confrontational path.
Yet it must be pertinent that the clash happened out of the public eye. If the players had come together on the field there could be no doubt what happened. But the wider public must wonder why it could not have been resolved in private.
Peter Moores must wonder what on earth he has taken on returning as England coach. He was last night reminding Ballance and other England players who went out on Sunday night, including Anderson, of their responsibilities.
But it is the prospect of losing Anderson that will concern him most and which will lead to a tense atmosphere at Lord's.
The stakes are high now both on and off the most famous cricket field in the world.
