BBC attacked for giving George's historic christening bottom billing on flagship news broadcast
- BBC1's News at Six and Ten devoted two minutes and 20 seconds to event
- BBC2's current affairs show Newsnight failed to mention christening
- MP Andrew Rosindell said he was 'appalled' at the coverage
The BBC yesterday came under fire for treating the christening of Prince George as a 'tail end afterthought' on its flagship news programmes.
While the historic occasion was featured on front pages around the world, BBC1's half-hour News at Six and Ten gave it bottom billing.
Both programmes devoted just two minutes and 20 seconds to the ceremony on Wednesday. BBC2's current affairs show Newsnight failed to mention it at all.
Scroll down for video
The BBC was criticised for its coverage of the Royal christening in which two minutes and 20 seconds was devoted to the event and it was given bottom billing on BBC1's News at Six, presented by George Alagiah
BBC2's current affairs show Newsnight failed to mention the christening of the third in line to the throne at all
Yesterday, Tory MP Andrew Rosindell said he was 'appalled' an event of national importance had been given such scant attention.
He added: 'The BBC is the national broadcaster. An event such as that should have been given greater prominence.
'People will be very surprised to see that it was an "and finally" item bearing in mind that it is a slot usually reserved for non-serious items.'
The BBC's News at Six found time only for a short pre-recorded clip about the christening which was narrated by royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell.
Instead of exploring the historical significance of the event or seeking comment from royal experts, he restricted his report to a brief rundown of the guests as they left the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace.
The short clip was placed last in the news agenda, just before the weather at 6.30pm.
The BBC has received four complaints about its coverage of the christening on Wednesday
It was deemed even less important than the story of a venomous spider outbreak in a school in Gloucestershire and a segment on proposals to give motorists a five-minute grace period after parking tickets run out.
The News at Ten recycled the same Witchell clip, and also gave it bottom billing.
On Newsnight at 10.30pm, the christening was omitted altogether.
Instead, presenter Jeremy Paxman interviewed controversial comic Russell Brand, giving him a platform to espouse his desire for a political revolution.
Tory MP Michael Ellis said: 'I'm disappointed with the BBC's coverage on the royal christening, which is an important occasion in the life of the nation. The monarchy is a cherished institution in this country. It attracts more support than almost any other aspect of our national political life.
'This is the first, formal occasion on which three heirs to the throne are in one place for well over 100 years. The public want to see and hear as much of this as possible.
'It's disappointing that the BBC have chosen to relegate this to a tail end afterthought.'
Andrew Rosindell (left) said he was appalled by the coverage and Michael Ellis (right) was 'disappointed'
The royal christening was featured on the front pages of seven of the UK's national newspapers, and on the front pages of newspapers around the world.
ITV News at 6.30pm and 10pm both devoted three minutes to the christening story, giving it top billing in the second half of each programme.
The slot is typically reserved for major stories as the channel needs to regain the attention of its viewers after the advert break.
Tory MP Rob Wilson said: 'The royal christening was an important national event which newspapers have given huge coverage to in response to their readers' desire to properly commemorate the event.
'After a very difficult year, it's probably fair to suggest that the BBC is struggling to stay in touch with what its audience wants.'
ITV News devoted three minutes to the christening, giving it top billing in the second half of the programme
The BBC said it had received four complaints that its news coverage of the royal christening was insufficient.
A spokesman added: 'The BBC provided extensive coverage of the royal christening across all platforms yesterday, including live coverage on the BBC News Channel, as well as a range of reports across our television bulletins and radio and online.
'The christening was in the BBC1 bulletin headlines at both 6pm and 10pm, with a full report by our royal correspondent Nick Witchell.
'There were several major news stories yesterday, including the loss of many jobs following the shutdown of Scotland's biggest industrial site, and David Cameron's announcement that day that the Government will review green taxes in response to rising energy prices. All our reports are there because we judge them important and of audience interest.'

Memphis - Nashville by train
Spending time in New Orleans & Memphis in October. Wonder if it's worth trying to get to Nashville for the day. Is it too much to go by train in the morning see Nashville and be back in Memphis by evening ? Maybe I would be too rushed to see the sites in Nashville.
Report Abuse
I hate to say it, but our train system over here is, well, not very complete.
I live in Memphis and as far as I know, you "can't get there from here". Our only passenger system is Amtrak (amtrak.com) and it refuses to give a route at all from Memphis to Nashville. I know how strange this sounds, but I think you'd have to go through Chicago and possibly even Atlanta as well.
A car will get you there in about 3.5 hours each way. No tolls, straight through expressway.
Report Abuse
I think even if you drove it would be too much to do in one day. As the above poster said, it would be a 7-hour round-trip drive. Not really worth it. What about spending an evening in Nashville? It really is a very different city from Memphis.
Report Abuse
Nashville isn't served by train; the last train service there was in 1979. If you wanted to visit nashville, you'l have to either fly or drive (rent a car). Our rail service here in the States isn't funded anywhere near the levels to which you are accustomed to in Europe, and as a result, many areas see only one train per day, and there are many large segments of the nation which have no train service at all. Nashville at one time was a busy rail hub, as was memphis, but our politicians chosr to fund roads to a much larger degree. Almost all railroads in the United States are private, not public like the highways, and as such, the private RRs are completely responsible for all of their upkeep. That's different from the roads, which are funded through vehicle registrations, government bonds, and a trust fund supported by the fuel tax. Amtrak has never had these funding resources available, and as a result, has been limited in its resources with which to provide service. There is commuter rail in certain parts of the country, but that too has to be funded by the local sales tax.
Sorry to be so long-winded, but suffice it to say that Amtrak simply offers no service to Nashville, for the reasons stated above and others.
Report Abuse
Looks like it's an overnight stay if I want to visit Nashville. I must say I am surprised you can't get to a city in the same state by train when it is only a few hours away. Maybe we should stop complaining about the train service in Scotland !!
Thanks for the info
Report Abuse
Not only that - but its ridiculously inconvenient to get even to most major cities.
For example - to get from NYC to Chicago (about 800 miles):
Fly: 2 hours (at least 40 flights per day)
Drive: a long day (11/12 hours depending on traffic/construction)
Train: about 20 hours (overnight) - if it runs on time - which it never does (2 trains per day)
In the US non-commuter rail service is really good only in the Northeast corrider (Boston - NYC - Washington DC).
(The government is committed to air travel and road travel - no one wants to pay for train travel).
Report Abuse
tonys, most cities in the US have no passenger train service at all. There is only one rail service, a barely-subsidized national serivce. You can check any potential train itinerary at www.amtrak.com.
Our highway system, on the other hand, is quite thorough, providing multi-lane service even to the most obscure unpopulated corners. So there is plenty of free enterprise and competition among bus (coach) companies.
Report Abuse
Don't be apologetic WITC_106. Your reply (and those of others) were most helpful for us who are in Memphis looking to go to Nashville.
So it's fly (with all that hassle) ... or coach ... or car.
Trouble with the last one is that the extra costs on top of the advertised rate, along with the drop off fee (from $50 to $300 depending on company) increase the rate to about $75 (plus gas of course)per day. I find that surprising in a country that uses the car so much and where the car and gas are so cheap to buy. Can get much better deals at home and have rented from Enterprise in the UK at GBP 15 per day over a 4 day rental.
So thanks again everyone for the info.
Report Abuse
Have since moved from Memphis to Australia since this post... not surprised that in 7 years that it hasn't gotten easier to get from A to B.
We were in L.A. and Orange County in Sept and wanted to rent a car for the day and even had to pay a smallish drop fee to pick up in OC and drop at LAX, and it wasn't an airport fee. I couldn't find a company that had the pickup/drop off points and didn't charge the extra. We've rented in Europe and elsewhere and can't think of anywhere that charges if dropping in the same country, even if it's not the same city. You'd think that staying in the same state in the US ought to be similar but it's not. Another one of those things where every US company joins in to make sure one doesn't have an alternative.

Be aware: There are NO wall tracks.
The description of this item does not tell what is included.
The image is wrong.
The additional cost makes this item to costly.
Unlike the previous reviewers, I read the description where it says what's in the box - ordered 10 extensions off ebay for $4.00 a piece and have been nothing but happy with this unit.
As long as you read, you'll be very happy with the product.
I agree with other reviewers that this piece is tricky to install. The rest of the Rubbermaid Configurations family of products is super-easy to install, which makes the complexity and difficulty of installing this one item a bit surprising.
Also surprising (as another reviewer noted) is the price. I purchased 2 full closet kits for 49.99 each (Gold Box special). Paying the same price for one drawer that you pay for the entire closet unit does indeed seem ridiculous.
As a sturdy, well-built drawer, this item shouldn't necessarily be cheap. But the price is too high relative to the overall cost of the closet. $100 for a couple drawers is going to match or exceed the price of just about any closet kit you can buy here on Amazon -- that just doesn't add up, so to speak.
One final note: There is another drawer you can get for the Configurations system. It's a soft-sided "canvas sliding basket" that costs far less ($15-20 for the medium or $25-30 for the large). It's far less sturdy and doesn't glide nicely at all. It may do for less regular use, such as a winter storage closet, attic, basement, or other such storage area. But for everyday use (e.g., bedroom or bathroom closet), the wire basket is the way to go. It will stand up to repeated regular use.

Burger King Employees Duped by Jokester Into Smashing Windows
Some prankster played a Whopper of a joke on employees at a Burger King.
Some prankster played a Whopper of a joke on employees at a Burger King.
Burger King? Try hot dog king.
The fast food wars have turned into a Twitter battle.
Hearing the name Pope Francis in the same sentence as Burger King is bound to raise some eyebrows.
Burger King's newest offering has customers seeing -- and eating -- red.
Not since flame met broiled has there been a romance this juicy.
Any boss looking to develop employee loyalty should pay attention to this.
One time, I found a minion toy in between my double cheeseburger at McDonalds. I laughed it off -- it was probably some kid just trying to be a smart alec. I mean, imagine going to take a bite out of your cheeseburger, and there's a Despicable Me guy staring between your buns.
I was going through old pictures on my phone and forgot about this one! I have a feeling this Burger King by my house did not do this by accident!
If your hands are too busy to lift your burger up to your mouth, the new Burger King hands-free Whopper holder may be for you!
Apparently, Burger King has some remorse for their biggest competitor (NOT).
Now this story is a few years old...but it never will get old!

T.I.'s Wife Talks About Divorce Rumors: 'We Had a Couple Fights'
Reports of rapper T.I. separating from his wife Tameka "Tiny" Harris apparently are not true. Harris stopped by "The Wendy Williams Show" on Tuesday, March 25 and talked about the rumors during her appearance.
"We had a couple fights and we were arguing," Harris said. "We argue all the time, though. We had this one big fallout about the Grammys. It just lingered on and it got bigger and... We're still together, there's no divorce. We're normal. We go through the same thing that every marriage goes through."
Williams then pointed out the missing wedding ring on Harris' ring finger. She said, "If you see here, I jammed my finger, so I can't even fit it. See, look at this. You see it?" The show's host, who apparently was not convinced, replied, "No, I don't. I don't see it - but I go along with it."
"I'm telling you, for real, for real," Harris continued. "It's a big rock. I would like to wear it. You know, regardless."
Speculations of the two's split emerged during the Grammy night in January. At that time, the pair were seen partying separately. T.I. then told TMZ that he and Harris had an argument, but they were OK the next day.

- Rhamnolipid;
- Lipopolysaccharide;
- Alginate;
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces exoproducts correlated with its pathogenicity. One of these virulence-associated traits is the surfactant rhamnolipid. The production of alginate and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are also of importance for P. aeruginosa virulence. The product of the algC gene (which is involved in alginate production through its phosphomannomutase activity and in LPS synthesis through its phosphoglucomutase activity) participates in rhamnolipid production, presumably catalyzing the first step in the deoxy-thymidine-diphospho-L-rhamnose (dTDP-L-rhamnose) pathway, the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate. Other structural alg genes, encoded in the alg operon, are not involved in rhamnolipid nor LPS production. These results show that the AlgC protein plays a central role in the production of the three P. aeruginosa virulence-associated saccharides: alginate, LPS and rhamnolipid.

I don's usually post radio shows but this one I did on the rite of passage for our teens, obsession with fame and how media sexualizes women is a powerful show. It's 30 minutes long and important for any family. Take a listen.
Click on this link to listen–The Dr. Linda Mintle Radio Show
When Kim Kardashian decided to dye her hair blonde after the birth of her first child, my eye caught a survey about the differences between blondes and brunettes.
All blonde jokes aside, Rose-Marie Jarvis of Goody hair conducted a survey of over 3000 participants and found that blondes engage in their beauty routines an average of 72 minutes a day, six minutes longer than brunettes. This means blondes spend 22 days a year getting ready, compared to 19 days for those lagging behind brunettes. It appears that blondes have to work harder to get that same light hair shine as brunettes already possess. And all that time spent on getting ready seems to make blondes feel more confident, leading to more fun![1]
Now, you know why the blonde woman in your life, the blonde dorm roommate or friend is making you late!
The survey also found that blonde men tend to like blond women, and brunette men prefer brunette women. When it comes to attraction in terms of hair color, like attracts like.
It's also true that if you hung around a certain hair color type growing up and had good experiences with that hair type, you will be attracted to that hair color as an adult. And say, the blonde bully picked on you in middle school, you probably won't be attracted to that blonde drummer in the band. It's too much of a reminder.
Like attracts like, but here is where the differences come in to play. When brunettes first meet other people, they are perceived as being smarter than blondes (Think of all the dumb blonde jokes). Furthermore, men, in London, are more attracted to brunettes. If you are thinking, this is just not fair, go ahead and die your hair blonde and move to another country.
The researchers also found that blondes go on more dates and feel more confident and youthful. Overall, blondes are perceived to be more attractive and even do better at getting tips as waitresses. [2
Hmmmmm…….Blondes just might have more fun, or least get better tips!

With all the shootings in recent years, people are thinking of how they might respond to such an horrific event. Here is some help from law enforcement. Praying that none of you are ever in a position to have to use this information, but we should think about how to respond.
Law enforcement has identified 5 stages that a mass shooter goes through before he completes the act:
1) Fantasy stage—He is daydreaming about the killings, idolizing other shooters, thinking about the news coverage and how he will be remembered.
2) Planning stage—This is when he decides who and how to kill and may talk about his plans. This is a key step in prevention. If you hear anything that sounds disturbing, report it.
3) Preparation stage-He gets the weapons and practices using them.
4) Approach stage—He walks or drives by the targeted area with weapons in hand. If you notice this, call the police or 911 immediately.
5) Implementation stage—He starts the the action and prevention is too late.
If you are in the area of the shooting, law enforcement recommends you:
1) Run and try to escape if that is possible. Several people were able to do this at Virginia Tech and the movie shootings.
2) Hide, if you can't run. Be quick and quiet, turn out lights, lock doors, silence phone including vibration. Some people suggest you play dead if you are in sight on the shooter.
3) Fight and try to disarm and take down the shooter if you are in the line of attack.
I wish we didn't have to have a blog like this. Praying for the families who have again, lost loved ones.

To my dismay, I feel like I have written some version of this blog too many times. I fear if won't be the last time.
Whenever there is a mass shooting, we try to understand what happened in order to prevent this again. In terms of the mental health, this may be helpful:
A compilation of signs to look for in order to prevent include:
1) The gunman is usually on some search for significance and recognition. He may fantasize being the star of his movie, going down with guns a blazing and ending in suicide.
2) Usually these are intelligent, high-performing males who are viewed by others as weaker or a loser in some way.
3) Rejection seems to play a factor and that rejection is fixed upon and takes on a great importance because of the symptoms of mental illness also present.
4) Rather than being loners, these males appear more like failed joiners.
5) Daily living is filled with friction and being unsettled.
6) Signs of mental illness can include sleep changes, mood and appetite changes with mood swings and explosive behavior.
7) Young adulthood is also the time of the onset of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and other mental disorders as the person is on his own, trying to negotiate life with poor coping skills.
Why don't we prevent more of these attacks?
1) People deal with these men a few hours of the day and often don't see the pattern of their lives.
2) Infractions may not be documented so they don't register as questionable.
3) Even though these males often telegraph their intentions, peers don't report for fear of getting them in trouble or it doesn't register as being a real threat. It isn't until later that the signs make sense.
Prevention tips from the Washington County Sheriff's Office:
1) Report suspicious behavior. The shooter told someone in most of the cases.
2) Notice if violence is used as a way to solve problems
3) Notice if the person changes into an angry person.

We propose the quality-of-service (QoS) driven power allocation schemes for parallel fading channels when considering imperfect channel estimations. In particular, the parallel communication model plays a fundamental role in physical-layer evolutions of wireless networks. By integrating information theory with the concept of effective capacity, our proposed schemes aim at maximizing the system throughput subject to a given delay constraint. Solving the original non-convex problem by a 2-dimensional convex optimization approach, we develop the optimal allocation algorithms under different QoS and power constraints. Consistent with our previous work assuming perfect channel state information (CSI), our analyses considering imperfect CSI demonstrate that when the QoS constraint becomes more and more stringent, the optimal effective capacity decreases from the ergodic capacity to the zero-outage capacity. Moreover, our results indicate that the channel estimation error has a significant impact on QoS provisioning, especially when the delay constraint is stringent. Specifically, as long as the channel estimation is not perfect, a positive zero-outage capacity is unattainable. On the other hand, our simulations also suggest that a larger number of parallel channels can provide higher throughput and more stringent QoS, while offering better robustness against the imperfectness of CSI.

Ricky Burns May Get a Boost With Murray Backing
Ricky Burns could be boosted this week by a visit from tennis ace Andy Murray, as he prepares for his showdown with Nicky Cook on Saturday night. The pair meet at the Liverpool Echo Arena on July 16, with Burns' WBO super-featherweight title on the line. And Burns is set to receive a last-minute call from Murray, who has been in Davis Cup action in Scotland over the last few days.
Boxing fan Murray has seen Burns fight before, and is often ringside for big fights.
"I was gutted when Andy was knocked out of Wimbledon," said Burns.
"He's done Scotland proud though and he's an inspiration for me ahead of my fight on Saturday night."

The air was filled with sweetness this weekend in Ponchatoula, the self-proclaimed strawberry capital of the world. The city turned into one big festival ground for the 43rd annual Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival, and Memorial Park hosted the action where Ponchatoula farmers were selling their fresh, sweet, juicy strawberries in an array of possibilities. Strawberry shortcake, dark and white chocolate covered strawberries, strawberry beignets, strawberry tarts, strawberry daiquiris and strawberry snowballs were among the options offered by over 60 vendors. Members of Greek organizations participate in the festival each year by selling food and strawberry desserts.
Volunteers put on the festival every year during the first weekend in the first full week of April. Louisiana is a festival-centric state, and even though the French Quarter Festival was happening the same weekend down in New Orleans, volunteer Helen Barker of the Ponchatoula Kiwains Club says this festival stands out among the others because of its laidback environment under the spring sun.
"The strawberry fest is such a family friendly environment, its very family oriented," said Barker, who was working the souvenir table with her son and daughter. "I've been volunteering here for many years, and I just love it. The weather this weekend was perfect too."
In 1973, 11 booths lined one block of N. 6th street, along Memorial Park, where farmers, schools, churches and various non-profit organizations raised money by selling strawberries to honor the local farmers. According to the Ponchatoula Times, 15,000 people went to the first festival and today the crowds have grown, pumping $33 million into the local economy. People from all across the nation come to taste the locally grown Ponchatoula strawberry. The fruit was named the state fruit in 2001 by the Louisiana Legislation.
Traditionally, the crowd from the festival spills into downtown Ponchatoula, where more farmers sell their berries. Farmer's Row offers strawberries from local farmers. Homemade strawberry preserves, salad dressings and syrups were a few items sold by Linda Tamburello. Her booth this year was different, however, breaking a tradition she has kept for 43 years. Her and a few other farmers' booths were moved from the traditional Farmer's Row to Hickory Street.
"Being on the back road has cost us some business," Tamburello said.
Mary Gordon drove from Vicksburg, Miss. to eat some Ponchatoula strawberries. Gordon was a first timer at the festival this year and says it was even better than she imagined.
"I'm in love [with] it all," Gordon said. "The bands are good, the food is great, but the strawberries are even better."
The fair grounds with rides, games and live music are in Memorial Park between N. 6th and N. 7th Streets but Downtown Ponchatoula businesses, and the surrounding blocks all join in on the party and craft vendors set up on NW Railroad Avenue. There are sack races and a strawberry eating contest, on a first come, first serve basis and locals know all too well they must defend their title. The winner of the 18 and up age group was Tim Matthews, a ten-year veteran and strawberry eating contest champion. He gets up on stage each year to "keep the streak alive," said Matthews.
There is no entrance fee, like many other Louisiana festivals. The Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival is the second largest free festival in Louisiana, second only to Mardi Gras. Contestants in the strawberry eating contest got to keep the berries that didn't make it into their mouth and they didn't have to pre-register, the live music by The River City Hot Sqaud, Nonc Nu, Top Cats, Chase Tyler, Passing-Outlaws and Todd O'Neil was free and all money made goes back to support the local farmer.

Need 1st Birthday indoor venue ideas Lower North Shore Sydney

Posted 05 February 2013 - 06:42 PM
It's my little ones 1st Birthday this weekend, and we were going to have a party outdoors, however they are now predicting rain!! Have about 30 adults coming and a few kids and babies, need an indoor venue we can hire on the lower North Shore (Sydney). Any good suggestions?!!
Posted 05 February 2013 - 07:06 PM
Try north Sydney community centre or kirribilli community centre.
Both have kitchen facilities and enclosed outdoor play areas which is handy to keep kids entertained and safe if the weather improves
Posted 07 February 2013 - 06:28 PM
I've been to a great party at north sydney community centre. They alsohired the centres baby play equipment - ball pit etc so there was stuff to do inside.
Naremburn scout hall.
Posted 07 February 2013 - 06:37 PM
Well, we had ours at the Great Northern because it rained - not most people's first thought for a kids birthday party, but thought I'd put it out there!
It has toilets, baby change facilities, and you can book all or half of the room at the back. Ours attendees were mostly adults though!
