beautiful concept and very exciting for Palo Alto to get not only more energy efficient lighting in the dingy underground tunnel but also something beautiful and inspired.

Any improvement in that tunnel would be wonderful. Glad that an artist has a plan.
I wonder about the techy-trendyness though. My car also has internal lights that change colors, which seems a bit silly, and wasteful, just extra programming.
>a Twitter application that would allow the community to interact with and control the light and sound elements< Sorry, but this app. isn't art or even anything useful. More like a computer game, not serious work.

Beautifying tunnels, while families are living on the street in this county, studios cost $1,826 a month in this city, and people are starving to death in foreign countries, with groups of orphaned children living in garbage dumps.
Palo Alto City Hall wants to know what its "values" are? Go no further than the shallow that oozes from this story.

I am so glad that 'something' is being done in the tunnels, especially light-related. While the city and artists are out there, perhaps someone can also paint the walls since they are dreary and add cameras to detract people from doing things they shouldn't be doing.

I think this is a great idea! I have always hated the tunnel for being so dark and dreary.

$30,000 for this project?? That's a lot of money that could be spent on needy people in this town and beyond.
I entirely agree with the comments made by Priorities Lacking.

Sounds like another Color of Palo Alto, which cost over $75,000 and went nowhere. Now we'll have the Sound of Palo Alto, which will be your tax dollars flushing away.
"pantheon of greatness"? Will Palo Alto ever get over itself?

Reminds me of the ill-fated Color of Palo Alto project. That one mixed the colors from photos of palo alto homes in the hopes of coming up with the average color of Palo Alto. A meaningless enterprise if ever there was one.
But he was going to use Hewlett Packard equipment to do the analysis (something about counting pixels) so HP contributed equipment and praised the project, especially Vic Ojakian.
If this new idea uses Twitter, thereby advertising a commercial product, Twitter should pay for it.

Since the tunnel must be lighted anyway, this seems like a wonderful idea. And LED's will cut the energy consumption way down.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Thankfully, there is a place you can turn in order NOT to get burnt out on the repetitive swill assaulting our ears these days. Where is that? Why, it's Q101.com, OF COURSE.
However, if you or someone you know would like to injure your auditory senses, Maxim Staffers have put together a top 100 list of the most annoying, catchy, or even entertaining songs. Pick one, maybe two, and send it to a loved one as a gift. Once they are done kicking you, they may thank you for it later.
How many of these will YOU find on Q101.com? (Hint: there are two. At least. Ahem. We'll revisit. )
A personal favorite would be number 100. Notable mentions: Thong Song, Chicago's own Styx with "Come Sail Away", Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know," and that crappt $5 Footlong Commercial.

Great hotel/hostel, stayed 4 nights. The free breakfast is only carbohydrates, no fruit. The location is a 13m walk to the train station to get to Sorrento, or 35m walk. Very easy to use the train. We had room #1 and it had the best view, probably the best room. Everything is very clean and organized. We felt very luxurious here. There is no pool anymore, but that's okay. I'd recommend anyone wanting to visit Sorrento to stay here.

We arrived at 730 pm the staff on duty was unaware we were coming. All the staff were happy and friendly though and did their best to help us In the hotel facilities listed it says there is a pool a hot tub and a restaurant. NONE OF THESE FACILTIES EXIST ! The pool had been filled in with concrete and we asked about eating in for dinner and they said they would have to call the chef to ask him to come in. The room was large view was great and bed sleepable. Location great. no pool = unhappy

text: Politics 27 January 2012 Why Stephen Hester's £963,000 bonus is a distraction Quibbling over the bonus paid to the RBS boss is simply gesture politics. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Stephen Hester, the head of the Royal Bank of Scotland, is to receive a bonus of £963,000. Predictably, this has triggered outrage among the commentariat, and harsh condemnations from politicians. Liberal Democrat Foreign Minister, Jeremy Browne, told Question Time that Hester should decline the bonus as "a question of honour", while the shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna told the Today programme that Hester's salary of more than £1m should be sufficient reward for doing a good job. Outrage around bonus season is becoming something of an annual tradition. But what purpose does it really serve? In the last few hours alone, I've heard three radio discussions of the ins and outs of Hester's package. It's half what he received last year; it will all be paid in shares; he could have been earning much more in another job; he wasn't even a banker at the time of the crash. There is no disputing that the sums of money involved are grotesque. The fundamental injustice that bankers continue to receive ludicrous sums of money while jobs are being lost across the country prompts a visceral anger in many people. This very real, very widespread rage is what politicians are attempting to tap into when they indulge in a spot of banker-bashing. One point that comes up repeatedly is that of fairness: why should these people earn more than doctors, nurses, civil servants, or engineers? It's a valid question, but it is not answered by removing one banker's bonus. Scoring political points by forcing one individual to refuse their reward package does not solve the wider problem of sky-high financial remuneration. In this summary of the arguments for and against banker's bonuses, Dr Ruth Bender of the Cranfield School of Management explains that change to pay packages must be consistent: We cannot change pay for just some bankers -- just in the UK, or only in certain banks -- any more than we can change the traffic rules so that blue or red cars have to drive on the right! A few years ago I did research into executive pay, interviewing the great and the good to determine why they got paid what they did. One City CEO explained it very simply. He said that if "they" were to halve the pay of all the CEOs in the City, then no-one would bat an eyelid. But it would have to be all the CEOs. If even one individual retained his high compensation, then the others would demand parity. RBS is a taxpayer-owned bank, and it is fair that it is subject to extreme scrutiny. But this forensic focus on the remuneration package of Hester, who is, at the end of the day, just one person, risks acting as a distraction from deep systemic, structural problems. Both EU and UK regulation have so far failed to addressed these deeper issues, preferring to focus on the symptoms rather than the causes. This Economist blog summarises what some of these problems are: Taxpayers' underwriting of bankers' operations -- socialised risk and privatised reward -- is one clear reason for excessive returns. The cartel-like structure of high-end banking, driven by both regulatory barriers to entry and economies of scale, also enables the sector to generate rents. But in investment banking, the biggest cause of high pay could be clients' principle-agent problem and the "natural" inefficiency of big deals. When a management team chooses an investment bank, they likely to be more concerned about protecting their reputation ("no one got fired for hiring Goldman Sachs") than saving money. And in a multibillion dollar deal, shareholders are unlikely to kick up a fuss over a few million dollars wasted on expensive bankers. As a banker interviewed by the New Yorker put it, "[if] you are going to do a five-billion-dollar deal...Are you really going to fight about whether a certain fee is 2.5 per cent or 3.3 per cent?" So, no, objectively Hester shouldn't be receiving such a high bonus. But it is the system which makes this compensation expected -- necessary, even -- that should be looked at, not the details of the payment received by one man, in one year. Such gesture politics do nothing to solve the underlying problem. We should be more worried about that fact that no-one appears willing to undertake the fundamental restructuring of the financial sector that would ensure fairness and prevent another financial crash. › Morning Call: pick of the papers Samira Shackle is a freelance journalist, who tweets @samirashackle.

The NPDES Permit
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
Back to Wastewater Operator Information Page
Pennsylvania NPDES Permit Program - General Information
The Federal Clean Water Act and the Pennsylvania Clean Streams law requires wastewater dischargers to have a permit establishing pollution limits, and specifying monitoring and reporting requirements. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits regulate household and industrial wastes that are collected in sewers and treated at municipal wastewater treatment plants. Permits also regulate industrial point sources and concentrated animal feeding operations that discharge into other wastewater collection systems, or that discharge directly into receiving waters. More than 200,000 sources are regulated by NPDES permits nationwide.
Permits regulate discharges with the goals of 1) protecting public health and aquatic life, and 2) assuring that every facility treats wastewater. To achieve these ends, permits include the following terms and conditions:
Site-specific discharge (or effluent) limits;
Standard and site-specific management, compliance monitoring and reporting requirements; and
When and if regulated facilities fail to comply with the provisions of their permits, they may be subject to enforcement actions. DEP and EPA use a variety of techniques to monitor permittees' compliance status, including on-site inspections and review of data submitted by permittees. Technical assistance is also available to facilities struggling with NPDES compliance.
The NPDES permit is generally valid for a period of five years. Applications for renewal of NPDES permits must be submitted at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the current facility permit. Applications for NPDES permits can be obtained from DEP regional offices or obtained electronically
If you are an owner, operator or local official affiliated with a treatment facility, you MUST become familiar with your facility NPDES permit. The NPDES permit has reporting and notification requirements including a requirement to file a monthly discharge monitoring report (DMR). Please refer to your permit for requirements specific to your site. The NPDES permit spells out in detail your duties and responsibilities for proper operation of a wastewater treatment system.
CONVENTIONAL POLLUTANTS are contained in the sanitary wastes of households, businesses, and industries. These pollutants include human wastes, ground-up food from sink disposals, and laundry and bath waters. Conventional pollutants include:
FECAL COLIFORM - These bacteria are found in the digestive tracts of humans and animals; their presence in water indicates the potential presence of pathogenic organisms.
OIL & GREASE - These organic substances may include hydrocarbons, fats, oils, waxes, and high-molecular fatty acids. Oil and grease may produce sludge solids that are difficult to process.
TOXIC POLLUTANTS are particularly harmful to animal or plant life. They are primarily grouped into organics (including pesticides, solvents, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and dioxins) and metals (including lead, silver, mercury, copper, chromium, zinc, nickel, and cadmium).
NONCONVENTIONAL POLLUTANTS are any additional substances that are not conventional or toxic that may require regulation. These include nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus.

Here's my contribution to the blog carnival, a post about several different rhythms syllable systems that are generally used and some pros and cons for each method. I absolutely believe that each one of us should sit down and think through what syllable system we're using and how it benefits our students (or not). "Because I've always done it that way" is not a good enough reason to continue doing something. So, no matter what rhythm syllable system you currently use, read through and decide what you think would work best for you and your students.

Abstract:The bedside detection of awareness in disorders of consciousness (DOC) caused by acquired brain injury, is not an easy task. For that reason, differential diagnosis with neuroimaging and electrophysiological tools, in search for objective markers of consciousness, is being employed. However, such tools cannot be considered as diagnostic per se but as assistant to the clinical evaluation, which, at present, remains the gold standard. Regarding therapeutic management in DOC, no evidence-based recommendations can be made in favour for a specific treatment. The present review summarizes clinical and paraclinical studies that have been conducted with neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques in search for residual awareness in DOC. We discuss the medical, scientific and ethical implications that derive from these studies and we argue that, in the future, the role of neuroimaging and electrophysiology will be important not only for the diagnosis and prognosis of DOC but also in establishing communication with these challenging patients.

A smattering of sippy cups that work great for kids from 6 months to toddler age.
There are a dizzying number of options available when it comes to sippy cups. It's hard to know which ones are better for what age. Here's a list of my favorites for different ages.
Training Cups:
Training cups are great for babies around 6 months old, who are just learning to use a cup. Dylan was never really a "bottle baby." So, I wasn't quite sure what to use to start him out. I soon learned about training cups. They are built a bit differently, to assist in easing baby in the transition to a cup.
Dr. Brown's Soft-Spout Training Cup
Anatomy: 6 ounce cup, removable handles that spin, valve disc, silicone valve, spout cap, lid.
This was the first training cup Dylan tried. It holds 6 ounces, is BPA-free and spill-proof. The unique soft-spout makes it easier for baby to figure out how to drink. He had some trouble getting enough liquid from it at first, but soon developed his own technique. The handles on this cup spin, which can be a challenge when baby is trying to find the spout. The parts on this cup are interchangeable, and can be used with other Dr. Brown's sippy cups. This is a great training cup. $5.49
Dr. Brown's Designed to Nourish Training Cup
Anatomy: 6 ounce cup, removable handles, valve disc, silicone valve, spout cap, lid.
This 6 ounce training cup is BPA-free and features a spill-proof top with a "sip-activated valve." This cup is the updated version of the Soft-Spout Training Cup and is part of Dr. Brown's new feeding system called Designed to Nourish. The handles on this cup do not spin, so Dylan could easily pick this cup up and manipulate it. The other major difference between these training cups is that this one features a hard-spout cap that goes over the soft-spout (more like a sippy cup for an older child). Again, the parts are interchangeable with other Dr. Brown's sippy cups. I have to say, these updates make for an even better training cup – I highly recommend it. $5.49
8-9 months:
After Dylan was becoming a pro at using the training cups, I decided to graduate to something that would allow him to get more liquid. I recommend these cups for the 9 month age-range.
Anatomy: 9 ounce cup, easy-grip removable handles, spout sleeve, extra-soft cross-cut silicone spout, travel cap.
ThinkBaby's 9 ounce sippy cup is BPA-, PVC-, phthalate-, lead-, melamine- and nitrosamine-free. One of the unique features of this cup is the cross-cut spout. The spout is basically a nipple that is spill-proof. The shape and contour of the cup and handles make it easy for baby to pick up and use. My son was very adept at using this cup right away, and got a lot of liquid out of it very efficiently. He didn't need a training period. I love this cup and found it very helpful when I first introduced cow's milk. $8.49 [Follow ThinkBaby on Facebook to receive a discount for ThinkSport Sunscreen.]
12 – 18 months:
Around 11 months, I started to notice that Dylan needed a sippy cup that released more liquid at a time. I was also beginning to introduce cow's milk and wanted him to get as much as possible. The following sippy cups work great for water, milk, juice or whatever your active toddler is drinking.
Anatomy: thermo plastic rubber sleeve, stainless steel body, removable handles, straw-shaped spout, straw and straw adapter, travel plug, dust cap.
The Safe Sippy 2 has an 11 ounce capacity and is BPA- and phthalate -free. The idea and design of this cup is innovative and eco-friendly. The clean, non-leaching steel body and rubber sleeve keeps drinks cold, and reminds me of the water bottles that my husband and I use. Dylan took to this cup right away. He loves the ease of the handles and shape of the drinking spout. I love that you can use the travel plug, if you want to throw it into a bag. I like the straw adapter. It's great for when your toddler is riding in his stroller or toddling around. As they don't need to tip the cup back to get the liquid out. I had my friend's three year old daughter try this cup also and she loved it. The 11 ounce capacity is the perfect amount of liquid for toddlers and preschool age kids. We found that the cup was easier for preschool age kids to use without the handles attached. I did notice that when thrown, this cup will dent. I highly recommend this cup for toddlers one year of age and up. Safe Sippy 2: $13.37
18 months and beyond:
The First Years Take & Toss 10 oz Straw Cups
Anatomy: 10 ounce cup, snap-on lid,straw.
Once they get the hang of the whole cup thing, you may want something that they can get more liquid out of quicker. The First Years Take & Toss cups are BPA-free, dishwasher-safe and perfect for moms and toddlers on-the-go. The straw cups are my 19 month olds favorite. He can get milk out of them very efficiently and they aren't expensive, so if we accidentally leave one at the park (or one gets accidentally thrown in the garbage) – it's no big deal! These cups are simple and recyclable. The cups do leak quite a bit, so invest in a couple of the travel tops. $2.99
Thermos Foogo Vacuum Insulated Leak-Proof Straw Bottle
Anatomy: 10 ounce stainless steel cup, twist-on push-button lid, soft straw with straw stem.
Tired of throwing away sour milk? The answer to keeping milk fresh longer is the Thermos Foogo. The double-wall vacuum insulation keeps beverages colder for longer. The design is sweat-proof, so it won't leave rings on your furniture. This cup works great for car trips and keeps milk fresh. The cup works best if you refrigerate it for about 10 minutes before you fill it. This cup does leak if turned upside-down, so remember to click the lid shut between sips! $14.88

Repository setup
To convert from the svn repository, first setup the git repository on the alioth servers as described at Games/VCS/git. Afterwards, do the following on your local machine.
git svn clone --no-metadata \ svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-games/packages \ -T /trunk/<package> \ --branches /branches/<package> \ --tags /tags/<package> \ <package>
Repository Setup notes
- This will take some time depending on how many commits there are in the SVN repository.
If the svn repository doesn't contain a branches or tags section for the package, then you can omit the --branches or --tags options.
--authors-file= can and should be used to convert svn login to git style Foo Bar <firstname.lastname@example.com>. For that you can use this script: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-games/scripts/trunk/mkGitSvnAliasFile.pl?rev=8467&view=log
Import svn data
After fetching from the svn repository, it's now time to import the contents of the orig source.
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/upstream $ git rm --cached -r . $ git commit --allow-empty -m 'initial upstream branch' $ git checkout -f master $ git merge upstream $ gbp import-orig --pristine-tar <path_to_orig_tarball>
Note: Using the --pristine-tar option is optional.
Merge svn branches/tags
Now merge the branches and tags from svn into the master branch.
$ git merge \ $(find .git/refs/remotes -type f ! -regex '.*trunk$' ! -regex '.*trunk@[0-9]*$' \ ! -regex '.*\/alioth\/.*' -print0 | \ xargs -0 -r echo | sed 's|\.git/refs/||g')
Push changes
After this step, push the contents of your local repository.
$ git remote add alioth git+ssh://<username>@git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/<package>.git $ git push alioth master $ git push alioth upstream $ git push alioth pristine-tar $ git push alioth --tags
Note: Using a 'pristine-tar' branch is created only if you used the --pristine-tar option above.
This step here is a way to push the tags and branches that were imported from svn (an explanation about this is below). Do this to push all tags and branches that were imported.
$ for REMOTES in `find .git/refs/remotes -type f ! -regex '.*trunk$' \ ! -regex '.*trunk@[0-9]*$' ! -regex '.*\/alioth\/.*'`; \ do git push alioth $(echo $REMOTES | sed 's|\.git/refs/||'); done
Editing note : Why perform this last step? git-svn will have created branches for every SVN branch, even deleted ones. Should deleted/abandoned branches always be merged?
Once you have pushed all changes to the shared repository, move the packaging directory from trunk in svn so that no one continues to work on it there.
Move old packaging directory to attic
Move the packaging directory in trunk to the attic section and leave an appropriate message.
$ svn mv svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-games/packages/trunk/<package> \ svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-games/packages/attic/<package>-svn-save \ -m "Moving <package> from trunk to attic. Please use git repository instead."
Update .mrconfig
And, finally, add a new section for the new repo in the .mrconfig file from from our SVN trunk:
$ (echo "[<package>]" ; \ echo "checkout = git clone git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/<package>.git"; \ echo) >> /path/to/the/SVN/trunk/checkout/.mrconfig $ svn ci -m "Add <package>'s git repo to the .mrconfig file" /path/to/the/SVN/trunk/checkout/.mrconfig
Cloning and pulling
Anyone pulling from a converted repository will have two steps to perform. The first step is the usual cloning.
$ git clone git+ssh://<username>@git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/<package>.git
And then the next step involves pulling the "remotes" branches and tags that were pushed.
$ cd <package> $ git pull origin +refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*
Note about tags and branches
Tags and branches are preserved using what's called "git remotes". This means that there are no real git tags and branches visible, but that the SVN trunk, tags and branches are tracked as separate repositories. Downside is that you need to switch to to the remotes individually before you can update them.
All tags and branches are listed under .git/refs/remotes/ and can be checked out, but it is somewhat confusing as all old schemes for using tags and branches are there too...
So to checkout a branch do the following.
$ git checkout remotes/<some_branch>
And for tags.
$ git checkout remotes/tags/<some_tag>
Removing SVN metadata
If you do not initially use --no-metadata (perhaps you want to track the SVN repository for a while, or want to leave it in whilst you debug something) you can remove it later with
$ git filter-branch -f --msg-filter 'sed -e "/^git-svn-id:/d"'
You should not do this for a published repository. See the git-filter-branch(1) man page for more information. In particular for large histories the -d argument might be useful.

Photo: Getty Images
Fourteen straight one-day defeats against the Aussies. Five long years without a win over the world champions. And last night, the drought was broken as England romped home by six wickets, knocking Australia out of the ICC Champions Trophy.
England's semi-final victory at Edgbaston was powered by a dominant 140-run stand between opener Marcus Trescothick and skipper Michael Vaughan.
Requiring 260 for victory, England reached the target in 46.3 overs. losing only four wickets and in the process extending Australia's Champions Trophy jinx. This ICC knockout tournament is the only major prize in world cricket that has eluded Australia.
Vaughan smashed an excellent 86 before skying a Brett Lee delivery to Matthew Hayden. His departure came with the score at 3-227 and victory clearly in sight.
Trescothick notched a classy 81 off just 88 balls.
The burly opener was bowled by Andrew Symonds for 81 with the score 2-161. But Vaughan and Andrew Strauss (52 not out) steered England home.
Brett Lee was brought back into the side at the expense of Shane
Watson as Australia went for a four-pronged pace attack but his
first three overs went for 30 runs.
Vaughan attacked Lee's full length, hammering him for four fours through the covers in his 18-run third over and taking him for six boundaries in 13 balls.
Pace spearhead Glenn McGrath conceded 46 runs off 8 overs, while fellow fast bowlers Jason Gillespie had figures of 1-32 off 8 and Michael Kasprowicz 0-52 off 10.
Vaughan's 86 was his highest score in one-day cricket. The English captain also excelled with the ball, taking 2-42, and deservedly scooping the man-of-the-match award.
In Saturday's final, England will play either Pakistan or the West Indies, who clash in the other semi tonight.
Trevor Marshallsea's earlier report from Birmingham: A late rally led by Michael Clarke gave Australia a solid total in their semi-final against England at Edgbaston as the tournament favourites strived to reach their first Champions Trophy final.
After Australia sacrificed a batsman in all-rounder Shane Watson to recall speedster Brett Lee, they then had the misfortune of losing the toss and being sent in, a disadvantage in England in September.
The Australians would still have been pleased with a score of 3-189 in the 39th over, but after losing 3-21 in four overs, had to content themselves with 9-259.
While Australia would have been eyeing a bigger total as Damien Martyn and Darren Lehmann built a swift 75-run partnership for the fourth wicket, they will still have backed their four quicks to defend the total on a traditionally low-scoring pitch.
Martyn impressed again with 65 off 91 balls after a half-century against New Zealand, but it was No.7 Clarke who made the total respectable, with 42 off 34.
Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden were slightly watchful early, but nonetheless looked comfortable against pace pair Darren Gough and Steve Harmison. The disappointingly small crowd, teeth chattering in the autumn cool, managed a groan in the seventh over when Marcus Trescothick dropped Gilchrist on 18 in a chest-high gully chance off Andrew Flintoff. England and Trescothick's pain was short-lived, however, as six balls later the same fieldsman held a catch at first slip to remove Hayden, who edged Harmison and departed for 17 at 1-44.
After Gilchrist had collected 37 off 50 balls, Trescothick repaid his debt a second time, catching him at gully.
From 2-69 Ricky Ponting and Martyn nudged the slow bowlers around until reaching 2-114 at the halfway stage, but with Ponting seemingly set on 29 off 41, Australia's captain suffered his second lamentable dismissal in a week. After being bowled between bat and pad for 14 against New Zealand, this time Ponting produced a half-baked loft to long-on, where he was caught by Gough off spinner Ashley Giles.
After Martyn was put down on 24 in a tough caught-and-bowled chance by Giles, he and Lehmann continued the steady accumulating. Not a boundary was struck between overs 21 and 31, but they came in a rush as the fourth-wicket pair accelerated, raising their 50 off 54 balls.
Martyn raised his second successive half-century off 73 balls, but after he and Lehmann had put on 75 off 82 balls, Lehmann was bowled for a 42-ball 38, sweeping and missing at the inoffensive off-spin of Michael Vaughan. Now Andrew Symonds entered but he gave himself no chance at more heroics, darting off for a leg-bye against Harmison and being run out by Vaughan for a duck.
From 3-189 in the 39th over Australia slumped to 6-210 in the 43rd, when Martyn gave Trescothick a third catch and the unlikely Vaughan his second wicket for the day.
This exposed Australia's tail, with Lee joining Clarke. Lee at least managed one straight six off Gough in the 49th over, but the England veteran struck back by bowling him next ball for 15, and Jason Gillespie with the one after that. Michael Kasprowicz denied Gough the hat-trick, but another wicket came when Flintoff bowled Clarke in the final over.
The Australian touring party is one man down after spinner Brad Hogg was forced to return home early with a strained hamstring.
Meanwhile, Australia's sole practice match before the four-Test series in India has been shifted to Mumbai after the re-developed ground at Hyderabad was deemed unsuitable.
The row over Indian television rights has prompted the BCCI to consider cancelling the series but Thursday's High Court hearing could resolve the matter.
And emerging NSW batsman Phil Jaques will return to Yorkshire next northern summer after fending off offers from rival English counties.

Unprecedented rate of change in climate demands action in Central and Eastern Europe
"Whichever facts may be discussed, debated or distorted, we cannot ignore the reality that we must act or face frightening new impacts. We know that most of the pollution that causes climate change comes from burning fossil fuels. WWF calls on governments and investors to stop investing in dirty energy and start an immediate and just transition by investing in renewables," says Samantha Smith, leader of WWF's Global Climate & Energy Initiative.
"This is particularly true for Central and Eastern Europe, since the region is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels (coal and gas in particular) and fossil fuel-based investments are significantly supported by international finance institutions, governments and the EU - for example, the new gas interconnections between Romania and Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovakia and Hungary and Romania", says Csaba Vaszko, Climate Change and Energy Programme Officer at WWF Hungary.
The share of renewable energy sources in the CEE region has not been increased seriously, although there is a huge potential including opportunities for grid extension so that the countries in the region could use each other's renewables.
"Unfortunately, sustainability principles are still not considered accordingly with hydro-electric power being built in the wrong places, biomass with unknown environmental implications is being used and risks exist of land use change for biofuels", Vaszko adds.
While energy efficiency is an effective way to get quick wins on emissions reduction, governments in Central and Eastern Europe seem reluctant to touch upon this potential. And it is huge in the region – from residental heating to industrial power consumption reduction and from ageing power plants to transport. Central and Eastern European governments should also look carefully into feasibility of the new hydropower plants as low-flow periods on the Danube are likely to become longer and more frequent, WWF warns.

Bring on the Bard
Fittingly close to Valentine's Day, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) opens this month with plays about star-crossed lovers, unrequited passion and magical romance.
Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" takes the stage on Feb. 17. Director Laird Williamson offers the familiar and timeless tale of two young lovers and their feuding families in a new setting — California in the 1840s. Bringing this tumultuous period in American to the foreground adds a modern twist to a beloved story.
Feb. 18 will see the world premier of "The White Snake," a play by Tony-award winning director Mary Zimmerman. Based on a classic Chinese fable, this is the story of a snake spirit disguised as a beautiful woman who falls in love with a young scholar. She must use magical powers to defeat dark forces and win her lover.
Libby Appel's adaptation of Anton Chekhov's, "Seagull," opens Feb 23. Set in 19th-century Russia at a lakeside estate, "Seagull" tells the tale of four passionate artists each in love with someone who does not return the affection. "Seagull" is a story about theater, art and unfulfilled desire.
Making room on the dramatic stage for comedy, OSF opens "Animal Crackers" on Feb. 19. Originally created for the Marx Brothers, this slapstick musical recounts the adventures of Captain Spaulding, African adventurer and wise-cracker, at a posh Long Island party. High jinks meet high society and mayhem ensues.
These four rich plays are just the beginning of a packed season for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, which runs through early November.

Johnny Cat That Talking Cat. - Poem by Michael Gale
Woke up in the morning early and bumped my head...
Felt so sad that i hurt and ached but glad i was not dead.
I had a cat that talked back to me secretly....
No one witness, had ever seen him talk back at me.
My talking cat took archery lessons at the nearby YMCA...
He once accidentally shot himself into his left foot which was embarsssing to him that one summer sunny filled day and that was OK.
Then later on he took up boxing...
To one and all had found this fact most surprising and shocking.
He knocked out his sparring partner in the first round...
The only thing heard was his head hitting the ground.
My cat you see was a real smarty cat....
He was happy where he lived at.
My cat's name was Johnny cat...
As a kitten he grew into a nice cat that was not a rich spoiled rotten brat.
Johnny cat loved to chase mice every day...
He'd catch one between his paws and just pass them between paws of two.
He'd do this all day-He'd play and do...
The mouse population in our house was numbered in few.
My Johnny cat just loved to go fishing with me....
He could see into the water where i should toss my hook.
He loved sitting on the side of the brook...
Johnny cat loved days spent with me.
Johnny cat was a friend of thee.
Johnny cat loved having not to pay for his fish.
Johnny cat's favorite meal time fare was happened to be
that swimming wet fish as his favorite fun dish.
So-Next time you see a cat that boxes as well....
Other's you see will not believe your strangest and funny
sounding tale.

Blocks and Penny Rug
This is the second part of Melodys Penny Rug BOM. Love the button tree! I am really enjoying her tutorials and watching my penny rug grow.....
Part 3 has a little red school house complete with school bell.
So far one side is complete and I've turned the corner and I'm almost at the next corner! It's a real little village and coming along nicely. This month has some cute little bird houses to sew on... so I'd better get that done before next months reveal.
I have also finished another two blocks in "My Favourite Things" quilt...
:Hot chocolate ...mmmmmm and.....
A good book to read!!!! - definitely a favourite of mine.
Today is very overcast and rainy..... perfect stitching weather!
Hope you are doing something you love today!

Anzac Day (Part 2)
This is our local Anzac Memorial today.
I wasn't sure if my Dad was going to be able to march today, as he is on a trip to Darwin and presently in Mt. Isa at the moment.
Maggie has just sent me this wonderful photo of my Dad this morning... just before he marched.
Wish I'd been there to see him, but getting this photo sent to me means so much as well.

Tuesday Treasures
I have wanted to share this gorgeous antique quilt in Melody's Tuesday Treasures for some time now...
But it has been packed away with some of my other precious quilts...until this past weekend when I got the chance to dig them out again and let them breathe!
I've spoken of my wonderful friend Virginia (no blog - unfortunately!) many times including how she used to have an antique quilt business and would find these beautiful quilts from Australia and America and sell them.
A few years back, for my Anniversary, my husbands present was for me to choose one of the antique quilts from Virginia's collection.
I couldn't take my eyes off this gorgeous yo yo quilt.
I just loved how unusual it was and how much work had gone into the quilt.....
Entirely made by hand and using so many wonderful fabrics from that era..
I'm guessing from the amount of brights, purples and oranges in the quilt, that it is possibly from the 1970's.
I love the thoughtful gift from my husband and it is definitely a treasure to me.
I am going to see who else is sharing their treasures today over at Melody's.
Have a great Tuesday!!!

Gourmet breads, cheeses and olives....
Fresh local produce....
Antiques and collectibles....

Friday Night Sew In
Last night was April's Friday Night Sew In with Heidi and Bobbi. This month we were asked if we would like to make a pillowcase for the Conkerr Cancer organisation. " Giving sick kids a reason to smile....one pillowcase at a time"
These are the two pillowcases I made. I wonder how many people all over the world were making pillowcases last night??
I also did a bit of stitching on my blocks and penny rug BOMs and I will have some more photos soon.
Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday!

I have a few finishes so far this month .... and they're all softies!!!! I made another dolphin for my cousins new little baby boy. I've made quite a few of these dolphins, and I was going to make something different for this little baby... but as he lives in north Queensland and near the ocean, I decided a dolphin was the right choice. It is one of Melly and Me designs and I just love this pattern. When you finish sewing it together and the dolphin transforms into the perfect shape... it's just wonderful. Such a great pattern.
I've also been making lots of little "Chubby Birds". This is a pattern from Jodie of Ric Rac fame. It's the cutest pattern and one of her new "creative card" patterns,
As soon as the pattern arrived I was going through my wool and felt and I ended up making 3 birds to start with. Now I want to make more. They're so much fun to make.
I made a little red breasted robin....
And a couple of "bluebirds of happiness", but one of those has flown the coop already.
I love their little, round, "chubby" bodies...
Now I really should stop being distracted by cute dolphins and birdies and get back to my quilt blocks, penny rug, quilts, stitcheries and the rest......
Have a great day!

Day 18 - Hair
Today I discovered just how hard it is to take a photo of the back of your head... by yourself!!!!!
Luckily my hubby woke up, just before I had to go to work, and took the photo.... He didn't even ask why I wanted a photo of the back of my head... He already knows I've lost the plot......

What Makes Me Happy 16.4.2012
Making me happy this week is all the lovely French/Paris/Macaron goodness everywhere I look.
After enjoying my friends PERFECT macarons at Easter,
It also has lots of lovely things to make with a French flavour. Including this gorgeous quilt by Kris Meares of Tag Along Teddies.
I've bought some Rouenneries Deux fabric and hoping to make something with it very soon. I just love this range so much.
Then I found this lovely canvas that called out to me and wouldn't let me leave the shop without it.. What could I do???
Now to something that made me laugh out loud this week....
I picked up Jack from work and he had something he was given that he really wanted to take home with us. It did NOT fit in the car, and even after disassembling it .... it still took up most of the car and the boot.
What was it?????
It's Jacks new wash basket!!!!!!
I'm just hoping this means the washing will actually make it into the "basket" and we'll be able to see the carpet in his room again..
I can only hope!
Hope you have something making you happy and laughing out loud this week...
Have a good one!!!

Network Transfers with CVP
- Silver, 250 points or more
Unified CVP provides capabilities to transfer calls to another destination after they have been answered by an agent. These capabilities are referred to as Network Transfer. Network Transfer means that ICM returns a label to the associated VRU (CVP) routing client instead of the original routing client. The original routing client here means the CUCM. If a call will come from CUCM to ICM, CUCM will be the original routing client and the label should be returned to CUCM. But if you would have Network Transfer flag turned on, the label will be returned to VRU routing client which in our case is CVP.
Call Flow
Initial Call
Call comes in via PSTN. Goes to Ingress-GW Then goes to CVP CVP sends it to ICM CVP is the routing client now
- ICM Sends a VRU label back to CVP with a TEMCONNECT message ICM tells CVP to connect to a VXML-GW Once the IVR portion is done the CONNECT comes back with an agent label
- CVP tears down the call to the VXML-GW CVP makes an outbound call to the CUCM via SIP Caller connects to the agent
Till this point, no Network Transfer was involved
Call Transfer (either blind or consult)
Agent Transfer
When a call is transferred from Unified CVP to an agent, and that agent wants to transfer the call to another agent, the agent can make that transfer using either the agent IP phone or agent desktop. Transfers from the IP phone are made using CTI route points that point to a Unified ICME script. (CTI route point, points towards a CUCM PG that takes the call to the ICME using JTAPI interface)
Transfers from the agent desktop are made using the Dialed Number Plan (Such transfers don't involve a CTI route point. ICME simply takes the call using the CTI interface and execute the script)
Controlling Network Transfer
There are two flags in Unified ICME to control the Network Transfer.
- NetworkTransferEnabled
This is a flag in the Unified ICME script, that if enabled, instructs the ICM to save the information about the initial routing client ( routing client which sent the NewCall route request for example CVP could be
a routing client here)
- NetworkTransferPreferred
This flag is checked on the CUCM PGW configuration. If it is checked, then any route request from this routing client ( where Unified ICME knows about the initial routing client ) will send the route response
to initial routing client instead of the routing client which sent the route request.
Configuration Steps
Check the Network Transfer Prerred box in the CUCM PG Routing Clinet configuration.
Don't check this in the CVP PG configuration
In the ICM script you need to enable the scripting variable int the begining
Following picture shows the seeting in more details
Following is what should be considered on using the Network Transfer
- Network Transfer using the two flags given above can be used to perform blind transfer only from agent1 to agent2 via CVP. In this case, CVP will get instruction from Unified ICME to pull the call back from agent1 and route it to either VXML GW ( for IVR treatment ) or to another destination ( to agent2 as an example ).
- Network Transfer cannot be used to perform the warm transfer or conference with CVP. The reason is because the call leg to agent1 needs to be active while the agent1 performs a consult/conference. CVP cannot pull the call back from agent1 during the warm transfer and/or conference.
If a caller would like to dial the same number regardless of blind transfer or warm transfer/conference, then the following CVP recommendation and best practice can be used
- Do not enable the NetworkTransferEnable flag in Unified ICME script.
- Any transfer or conference request from agent needs to dial the CTI Route Point of the same Unified CCE PG to preserve the call context during transfer. Dialing the Route Pattern or CTI Route Point of another PG will not preserve the call context.
- Always use "SendToVru" as the first node in the Unified ICME routing script.
- In case of H.323 based deployments, there are two timers in CUCM that has to be increased greater than CVP RONA timer. These timers are to handle the situation of consult complete while the agent2 phone is ringing.
- In case of H.323 based deployments, if you are using a CUCM version 6.1.3 or earlier then you have to uncheck the flag "Wait for Far End H.245 Terminal Capability Set" on the CUCM trunks configured with IPCC PG Routing client label.
- Extra ports will be used during the consult/blind transfer and/or conference. It will only be released when the originating consult is terminated.

(November 2001)
** Sometime around 10:10 -0800 11/27/01, Chuq Von Rospach sent everyone: >What do people think about this stuff? How do you manage it? Are you seeing >the same trend I am, with people doing this more often? It seems to me >there's some aspect of laziness here ("rather than find the right place, >I'll ask the close place") but combined with the "know these guys are >clueful" aspect, so there's a mixed message here. Definitely hard to decide >where to draw the lines in the sand, so I thought I"d throw it out and see >what others are thinking. As you probably know, the listmoms who manage the potpourri of lists on my server take a pretty hard line when it comes to staying on topic. We quash off-topic threads pretty quickly, filter them at the server (via either subject line or message body content), and often inform the list that the thread has been killed for being off-topic -- a not-terribly-subtle reminder to stay on topic. We take this hard line because we've found that many of the primary contributors to our lists tend to be busy professionals, and they have a pretty low S/N threshold at which they will simply unsubscribe. FWIW, it is not uncommon for us to receive off-list messages of thanks whenever we kill an off-topic thread. It seems that the folks who enjoy -- or even tolerate -- such threads are well in the minority, though of course it varies from [off] topic to [off] topic. That is to say, "there's off-topic and then there's off-topic." As an example of one [off] topic on which we held the line, but received a good deal of criticism from list members, we prohibited discussion of the events of Sept. 11th on our lists (and this was not for lack of concern over the events -- I was at my apartment 9 blocks from WTC that day, and witnessed the entire event). We received no messages of thanks for that one. But allowing one off-topic thread to survive sets a bad precedent, and weakens our position, for further off-topic threads. Finally, I should mention that I agree with the community-building aspect of off-topic threads -- so, several years ago, we created an "off-topic mailing list." <g> Anything that is *not* on-topic on the "production" lists is fair game for the off-topic list. The list has taken on a life of its own, routinely hitting 200 posts/day, and once breaking the 500-post mark. On several occasions, list members have arranged to meet each other, sometimes travling thousands of miles to do so. And we do have one marriage that has come about as a direct result of the list. We are, however, pretty rabid about _not_ allowing any topics that belong on the production lists, and also about moving off-topic threads from the production lists to the off-topic list. Hope this was of some use, Chuq. Cheers, Vince

Across the country, councils are joining up to create new combined authorities – new organisations which will be given additional powers and resources by the government, especially if they are prepared to accept an elected mayor.
LGC has conducted in depth research by speaking to local politicians and council officers to find out the current position in each area. But the title sought a novel way of using mapping software to show what the situation is around the country in a single map.
Visitors can use LGCplus.com's devo map to see the membership of combined authorities, whether a date has been set for a mayoral election and the total population of the area. There are also a links through to stories that the LGC has written about the selected area.
The map also identifies the stage of each area's devolution bid and shows whether it is a 'restructuring hotspot', indicating whether the boundaries of the councils themselves could be redrawn.
"The advent of the Northern Powerhouse and the devolution of power to councils represents the most exciting sea change in England's governance in recent times.
"LGC has already conducted ground-breaking research to show what is happening in each area but we needed a new way of presenting our work online so LGCplus users get an easy understanding of how devolution is panning out.
"Our aim was to display the boundaries and membership of new combined authorities and at the same time reveal the areas which are seeing the biggest disputes. By using interactive mapping software from InstantAtlas, the LGC devolution map can be easily altered in-house as debates about combined authorities develop.
"I'm pleased to say the map is the most comprehensive source of information available about the state of devolution around the country."

"Will you marry me?"
Isn't that the question every girl dreams of hearing? Victoria certainly used to think so. And safe, steady Oliver seemed perfect husband material. But that was until she met Liam, his rebellious, scorchingly hot best friend. Suddenly Victoria's feeling things—crazy lust-fueled things!—she's never felt before. But for the wrong guy... Then Oliver goes down on one knee, and it's decision time—head or hormones?
Victoria's about to discover the truth about guys like Liam—once you go bad you never go back!
Extra bonus: included is The Wedding Dress Diaries by Aimee Carson, the prequel to our fab new quartet!

'Yes, of course,' Victoria answered brightly, ignoring the burning muscles in her hand. 'Absolutely.'
She'd do whatever it took. That was what entrepreneurs did, right? Made sacrifices. Worked all night. She'd read You Too Can Be a Billionaire months ago, so she knew. Not that she wanted to be a billionaire or even a millionaire. She'd settle for solventno more of that screaming red ink on her bank statement, thanks.
Anyway, writing another five place cards in flourished copperplate was nothing on the number she'd already done. So long as those passed their impending inspection. They'd better. So much depended on this.
Victoria watched her client, Aurelie Broussard, cross the ornately furnished room to the large writing desk where she nervously waited. Like everyone else who'd ever been in Aurelie's presence, Victoria couldn't help staring. The 'in-another-realm' woman glowed in a long white summer dress and navy shrug. Her hair fell to the middle of her back in long, loose curls. Its colour matched her eyes, as glossy and dark and sensual as hot fudge sauce. Athlete, model, businesswoman. And about seven months pregnant judging by the graceful swell of her belly. Victoria hadn't known about the baby, but then she didn't know much about the former world-champion surf star other than that she was getting hitched in five days' time. Victoria deliberately didn't take an interest in water sportsthey flowed too close to deep-buried, sharp-edged memories.
She'd never met a more beautiful woman. Or anyone with the power to improve her business so drasticallyor destroy it. If Aurelie liked her work, she'd be set. If she didn't, Victoria was screwed. And brides were notoriously pickyespecially brides with squadrons of celebrity friends and a 'super wow factor' wedding to pull off in less than a week.
Victoria slowed her movements to hide her nerves, carefully laying out some of the completed cards on the antique wood. Aurelie silently studied them. They'd taken Victoria more hours than she could count, working under bright lights all through the night to get them finished. She'd been contracted at the last minutenot ideal for a calligrapher whose craft required light, space, time and serenity to get it right.
'They are beautiful.' Aurelie finally gave her verdict. 'Exactly what I wanted.'
Victoria rapidly blinked back burning tears of relief. Two hundred and thirty-four painstakingly calligraphed cardsso many in such a short time she was in pain. But she wanted to be sure all were perfect.
'I've done them exactly as they were written on your list but someone will double check them?' she asked. She didn't want some A-lister offended by having her name incorrectly spelt.
Aurelie nodded. 'My assistant. Perhaps you can do the extra five while you're here?' She slid open the top drawer of the desk and drew out a sheet of paper with a list of names typed on it.
'Of course I can ' She'd brought her pen and ink and spare card with her, but the implication of five more guests suddenly hit and caused tunnel vision. 'Umm with the extra guests ' Victoria's innards shrivelled. 'Does that mean you've changed the seating plan?'
That plan had taken so very, very long already. One large board with all those two hundred and thirty-four names written yet again in flourished copperplate, plus titles for the tablesurf beaches. The thought of redoing the entire thing sent Victoria's brain spinning. The nerves in her hand shrieked.
'Yes.' Aurelie turned her beautiful face towards her, and drew up to her full heightalmost a head taller than Victoria. 'Will that be a problem?'
'Not at all.' Victoria somehow stretched her mouth into a smile and lied. She'd stitch back her eyelids and work round the clock for the next five days and nights to get this doneand she was going to need every one of those hours to do it.
She remembered being a bride, wanting everything to be perfect. She'd work as hard as she could to help Aurelie have everything the way she wanted. But while Victoria's own ceremony had been fairy-tale pretty, her marriage to Oliver hadn't been perfect. It had been a slow-imploding mess.
Working on Aurelie's wedding would help her recovery, financially at any rate. There were so many privileged people coming, with her best work on show, she might get more commissions.
The irony of having a career where she helped people create their perfect weddings wasn't lost on her, given her own spectacular matrimonial failure. But she wasn't cynical. For the right couple, a wedding was a wonderful beginning.
Hopefully Aurelie's fiance was a decent guy. Victoria knew even less about him than she did about Aurelie. She hadn't looked up any Internet infothe turnaround time was so tight she'd had to get straight on with writing. But she'd recognised the names of some of their guestselite sports people, celebrities, models.
'I'm sure I can count on you.' Aurelie smiled.
It was one of those smiles with an 'I'll kill you if you screw up' edge. Well, while Aurelie was counting on her, Victoria would be counting on coffeedump trucks of it.
'I can do the cards here and now if you'd like, but I'll need to redo the table plan at home. I don't have the supplies here.'
Aurelie nodded. 'I'll get my assistant to email you the changes for that.'
'And I'll bring it here as soon as it's done.'
'And when will that be?' The ice cool question, the smile. No pressure at all.
Victoria hesitated, desperate to please but not wanting to over-promise. 'Well in time for the wedding.' Victoria clung to her smile as Aurelie looked at her for what felt like hours.
Finally Aurelie smiled back. 'Thank you.'
Great. Victoria put her bag on the chair and took out her pen case and ink bottle. Five cards shouldn't take that long and she'd please her client. Then she'd rest up on the train and study the seating changes at home. And call by the shop on the way to load up on stay-awake supplies.
'Do you like the candles?' Aurelie suddenly asked.
Victoria turned. Aurelie had opened the lid of a big box stacked beside the desk. It was filled with tissue-wrapped cylinders neatly packed end to end. Aurelie lifted one out and unwound the delicate covering and revealed a candle in a gorgeous soft white.
'They're surfboard wax scented.' Aurelie giggled. 'My favourite.'
Victoria grinned at the quirkiness. To be married in a French chateau by candlelight with handwritten calligraphy and lace and silk everywhere? Not to mention fireworks and orchestra and fountains? Aurelie might be doing some things slightly out of order, but there was a lot that was traditional in her plansand fun. She was having it all. Good for her.
'They're beautiful. This whole place is beautiful. It is going to be enchanting.' Victoria meant it, she really did.
Aurelie put the candle back. 'It is going to be parfaitl'
'It is.' Victoria drew in a breath for courage. 'Now, the menu hasn't changed, has it?' she asked, mentally crossing every crossable part of her body as she waited for the answer.
'No.' Aurelie laugheda peal of infectious amusement that had Victoria smiling again. 'I see why you were recommended,' Aurelie said. 'You don't get flustered. You just say yes.'
Victoria maintained her smile despite the tweak on her nerves. In two minutes Aurelie had nailed her. Victoria had been so good at saying yes. To her parents, to Oliver. To the people she'd been desperate to please more than anythingmore than herself. And then what Aurelie had said registered.
'I was recommended?' Who'd have done that? She'd only been in Paris seven monthsmost of her income was derived from the secretarial work she got from an agency. She'd only recently relaunched her online calligraphy and personal stationery design business. Perhaps it was a contact from when her company had been flying high in London? Either way she was gratefuldespite the last minute panic that Aurelie had just dumped on her.
But Aurelie didn't answer, she'd swiftly crossed to the window. Now Victoria too heard the crunch of the gravel outside. A car.
'Oh, no,' Aurelie gasped. 'He's here. He can't see any of this. If he comes in here, hide it. Everything.' With superior athletic grace, even with that burgeoning belly, Au-relie ran from the room.
Victoria blinked at the suddenly empty atmosphere. Presumably he was the groom. Curious to see what kind of guy had landed the incomparable Aurelie, she walked over to the window and peered down the two levels to the grand entrance.
The discreet-but-gleaming black car parked right in front was empty. As she watched, one of the conservatively clad assistants strode across the courtyard towards it. No doubt he was going to park it somewhere where it wouldn't ruin the picture-postcard perfection. While it might be a 'miniature' chateau, it was still one of the grandest buildings Victoria had ever been in. Surrounded by formal gardens with long avenues and hidden nooks and a selection of trick fountains, it was gorgeous.
She went back to the desk, picked up the completed cards and dropped them back in their protective box. She didn't want any damaged; she had too much to redo already. She took out several blank cards from the other box she'd brought in case, frowning as she arranged them.
The desk was beautiful, but it wasn't angled like her one at home. It'd be better if she could do these there, but she wasn't about to say 'no' to Aurelie.
She prepared her pen, drawing up ink, and worked on a practice cardwarming up her fingers and getting the ink to flow smoothly.
'Aurelie, you in here?'
Victoria froze, her pen digging into the card. Shock curdled her blood. Ink spilled but she hardly noticed. Because she knew that voice. That warm, laid-back, confident call.
She turned her head as he walked into the room. Her heart paused for a painfully long time between beats. She held her breath even longer.
Utterly gorgeous, absolutely unattainable Liam?
Her eyes were so wide they wanted to water. But that wasn't happening. Not in the presence of this particular guy. Never ever.
He paused, barely noticeably, before walking towards her. But, as always, Victoria noticed every tiny thing about him, so she saw that slight hesitation. She also saw his heighthis tall, lean, muscled physique. He'd always been an athlete and more competitive than most. Dangerously competitive. Liam Wilson wanted to win, no matter the cost.
And he'd won the best, hadn't he? Aurelie.
His sunflower-flecked brown eyes locked on her. Staring right back, Victoria saw the trademark easy-going stubble covering that sharp-edged jaw. She saw the dark brown hair, cropped closer than it had been the last time she saw him. Only vaguely did she take in the jeans and white tee because she was fully mesmerised by his expressionthat intense, purposeful focus. OM freaking G.
Liam Wilson. She couldn't believe it. Completely thrown, she looked down for a sec to collect her scrambled thoughts. How could he have grown even more attractive? How could she take one look and want all over again?
Pulling the plug on the visual didn't work. Because now she remembered so much of a time that had been so short. Now she wanted to hide. No one had ever exposed her the way Liam once hadwith just one look.
She fixedly stared at the ink-splodged mess she'd made on the card, aware he'd stopped a few feet from her chair.
He cleared his throat. 'Long time, no see.'
She heard the smile. He'd always spoken with that easy-as smile. That innate confidence had been part of what had drawn her to him. The kind of confidence she'd never had. She'd been jealous of his 'I-don't-give-a-damn-what-youall-think' attitude too, because she'd never had that.
Focused, hungry, fascinating. Liam had an edge Victoria hadn't encountered before or since. Tall, strong, determined to do what he wanted, he'd sliced through any opposition.
Until Oliver. And her.
Unable to resist, she chanced a glance back at him. That element of danger? It was still therenow lethal. Because, despite that smile, his eyes weren't just focused and relentless, they were hard.
There was no point clearing her throat. It wasn't going to work. Nothing in her bodyespecially not her brainwas working this second. Or the next.
'How've you been?' he asked.
Oh, he had to be kidding. Five years since she'd last seen him, five years since he'd interrupted her own wedding proposal and here he was five days from his wedding and he was greeting her like some old schoolmate?
Then again, how else to handle it?
She looked at the blank cards on the desk, glad she'd packed the others away. Aurelie hadn't wanted him to see them.
Aurelie. Liam.
Aurelie Broussard was marrying Liam Wilson.
Liam was the father of Aurelie's baby.
Liam was getting married.
Why was it so hard to compute?
She'd once had the chance to say yes to Liam. Not to marriage but to something. She hadn't. She'd said yes to someone else and life had moved on for all of them. And she was okay with that, wasn't she?
She straightened, ignoring the churning riot of recollections and emotions inside. She was happy. And she'd act like it.
'Fine, thanks.' Score. Her voice sounded almost normal. 'How are you?' 'Stunned to see you.'
Hardly stunned. He was still standing, tall and fit in those blue jeans and soft leather boatshoes and an eye-wateringly bright white tee with seams that had to cling hard to contain his broad shoulders. It ought to be impossible, but the guy was more gorgeous than he'd been back then. But what really stunned her was the glint in his eyes. He blatantly staredat her hair, over her face, seeming to take in each featurelingering on her mouth and then dropping below, taking in her figure. Was he sizing her up as he had that very first time they'd met? Back then it had been excusablehe'd not known who she was. But now?
Victoria tensed beneath his inspection, willing her body not to let the remnants of that old attraction show. Because that was all it was, like muscle memoryan imprint of an old infatuation. Not real. Certainly not worse. It couldn't be.
'It's been a long time,' he said. 'And, as impossible as I'd have thought it, you're even more beautiful now.'
Her breath quickened as her body absorbed his wordswords that mirrored her thoughts of him. Her system responded so inappropriately. Heat shot everywheremost of all deep and low in her belly.
Her brain clicked more slowly, taking too long to realise that it was meaningless, just his usual flirt talk. That was all it had ever been. Talk. But he had no right to tease her. Not that she could put him in his place the way she wanted to. Not when it was his fiancée she was working for. No, she was going to remain calm and professional and brush him off politely...

A KIDDERMINSTER couple whose eyes met at a dance above The Shuttle office will be celebrating their golden wedding today.
Timothy, 70, and Diane Oldnall, 69, were just teenagers when they met at the dance in Blackwell Street in 1959 and their love blossomed as they got to know each other.
"There used to be a dance there every Saturday evening," recalled Mrs Oldnall. "Most of the people in Kidderminster used to go to it because it was all we had. My friends and his friends saw each other and got on well together.
"Timothy didn't appear to be my type at first and then I got to know him."
The pair tied the knot at St Mary's Church three years later and went on to have three children, seven grandchildren and a great granddaughter.
Mrs Oldnall was a former nurse at Kidderminster Hospital and her husband worked in the Kidderminster carpet industry.
"We have had our ups and downs like everybody else but we get on well together," said Mrs Oldnall.
"I can't imagine being with anyone else."
The couple will celebrate their milestone with a family meal.

Know when to fold 'em? Maybe you should more often, suggests a poker study dealt out Tuesday.
In the Journal of Gambling Studies report, sociologist Kyle Siler of Cornell University looked at 27 million online poker hands from the last two years, to find that winning lots of small stakes ends up losing to bigger losses. "When you lose, you lose big," Siler says.
In the study, Siler looked at data on almost 300,000 poker players from HandHQ.com, a firm that watches online poker games to tell players about their opponent's tendencies. Siler compared playing styles to winnings, finding an, "increased proportion of aggressive players as one moves up stakes."
However, players who played a lot of hands and often won ended up losing more money than others. "This is an unusual and seemingly counterintuitive incentive structure. After all, is not the object of every hand in poker to win it?," writes Siler. "This phenomenon can be explained by the fact that players who win large proportions of hands lose money, because they lose a few hands of great value."
Given the huge role of luck in delivering big payoffs and big losses, the best poker players must learn to keep winning or losing in stride, Siler says, "the biggest opponent for many players is themselves."
Siler, an amateur poker player, says his study has helped calm his play some at the card table. "But let's just say I'm not quitting my day job," he says.

MacGill's foiled bid for match practice
Page Tools
STUART MacGill was on the motorway to Somerset believing some badly needed match practice was at the end of the road, but within hours he had been turned around after the England and Wales Cricket Board foiled the Australians' bid to have the leg spinner play county cricket for a week.
The deal which would have seen MacGill play two one-day games and a county championship match fell through after Somerset realised MacGill was available for only one week, rather than the minimum three-week term of a county contract for overseas signings.
MacGill will not play in the fourth Test at Trent Bridge, starting Thursday, but the Australians were not prepared to release him from the squad altogether.
Instead Australia has retained the option of him partnering Shane Warne in the final Test at The Oval next month.
MacGill has played only two first-class matches on this tour, and was to re-join the Australians in Nottingham last night where he has previously played three seasons of county cricket.
■ Former England batsman Graham Thorpe is to quit cricket at the end of the season.
"I have decided the time has come for me to retire," the 36-year-old Surrey left-hander told the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
"It is an emotional moment because, in the main, I have had a fantastic time and there are many things I will miss. But I feel comfortable this is the right decision."
Thorpe, who was England's best batsman for more than a decade, announced his retirement from the Test arena last month.
The gritty batsman had hoped to end his career as part of an Ashes-winning team after becoming only the eighth England player to play 100 Tests.
But his hopes were dashed when he was omitted from the side for the first Test against Australia at Lord's in July.
Thorpe left the Test stage after scoring 6744 runs at an average of 44.66. He also took 105 catches.

SPORTS>>One-man wrecking crew
Leader sports writer
With one of the best point guards in the state able to control just about every Russellville possession, Cabots six- and eight-point deficits in the second half seemed a whole lot deeper on Friday night, while each of its own possessions seemed a whole lot more precious.
Fortunately, for the Panthers, Adam Sterrenberg turned desperation into gold, scoring 22 points over the final four minutes and 55 seconds of the game to lift Cabot to a much-needed 60-54 win at Panther Pavilion.
With first-place Con-way coming in (last night) and with the Panthers tied with the Cylcones at 3-2 entering the game, the importance of the win was not lost on head coach Jerry Bridges.
It would have been a very tough loss with what lies ahead, said Bridges, whose team improved to 14-5 overall, 4-2 in 7A-Central play. We were very fortunate. We had every reason to lose that game and we found a way to win. Adam did what hes capable of doing, but heck, all of kids did their jobs, too. We worked hard defensively to get back in it.
In fact, the Panthers forced 12 second-half turnovers against a team that boasts one of the top point guards in A.J. Broadnax, who scored 18 points, including making 9 of 10 free throws in the second half to keep Cabot on the uphill climb almost the entire way.
Cabot trailed by nine points with 5:55 left in the contest when it began to make its move. Austin Johnson hit a three and 50 seconds later, Sterrenberg began his one-man Russellville wrecking party with a three to cut the lead to 42-39 at the 4:55 mark.
But Johnsons quick miss of a three led to a fast-break bucket on the other end and the Cylcones were still in control at 47-39 with less than four minutes remaining.
Sterrenberg scored on a baseline reverse and Johnson hit one of two free throws. While Broadnax was making 5 of 6 free throws over the next 53 seconds, Sterrenberg hit a step-back three and a well-guarded pull-up three. He added a pair of free throws with 1:42 left to narrow the Cyclone lead all the way to a single point.
Broadnax finally missed a free throw and Sterrenberg gave Cabot its first lead of the second half with yet another pull-up three and the Panthers went on top 53-52 with a minute-and-a-half remaining.
Thirteen seconds later, Sterrenberg stepped in front of a pass on the sideline, got the steal and the foul and made two free throws, fouling out Broadnax in the process and extending the Cabot lead to 55-52. After Russellville scored in the lane, Sterrenberg made two more at the stripe with 46 seconds left as Cabot scored the games final five points. The Cyclones missed a three and a two on the other end and Cabot held on.
I dont think Ive ever done anything like that before, maybe at the state tournament last year, Sterrenberg said when asked to assess his fourth-quarter performance, which included 17 points over the final 2:20. Coach told me he wanted the ball in my hand. I was kind of down and I started firing and a made a couple and started feeling it.
Sterrenberg, who finished with 29 points after entering the final period with only seven, struggled all night just to get decent looks. When he did, they didnt fall. Early anyway. He missed only one shot in his remarkable run when a lay-up rimmed out. He knocked down 4 of 4 from beyond the arc, 2 of 3 two-pointers and 6 of 6 at the line.
They took it from us, said Russellville head coach Joe Sitkowski. We were guarding (Sterrenberg). My kids would come back to the bench and say, What are we supposed to do?
Good ball movement led to three quick Cabot baskets and a 6-0 lead, but Russellville made three consecutive three-pointers and 6-5 post player Hunter Hawkins blocked four shots as the Cylcones began to turn up the defensive pressure. They led 27-25 at the half. Cabot continued to struggle offensively in a 4-point third quarter when it made only 2 of 10 shots.
Russellvilles largest lead of the game was nine points at the 5:55 mark. Bridges said even then his club didnt panic.
One time out, I told them, Guys, theres a lot of time left, he said. We were pressing and I told them just to play basketball and let the game come to them. Man, those kids knew the importance of this game. I put our five seniors on the floor and told them, Its you now. You want to win this game; Im going to go with you five.
Cabot outscored Russellville 31-19 in the final period. Johnson added 15 points and seven rebounds, while Miles Monroe had seven points and four boards. Cabot made 19 of 45 from the field, 6 of 20 from deep. They knocked down 16 of 22 from the stripe.
Russellville finished the game 17 of 38, including 5 of 17 from three. They made 15 of 18 free throws.
We played with a little of this tonight, Bridges said, pounding his heart with his palm. Thats the only reason we won this game.
