The BBC's programmes and services in the UK and around the world
Tuesday 27 October 2009, 13:37
I have been in my role as the BBC's Director of Sport for six months now, so I'm pleased to have this opportunity to give an insight into what's been going on behind the scenes in our division during that time.
It has been an exhilarating few months for BBC Sport but also a challenging one with the planning of significant outputs such as the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the 2012 London Olympic Games and the move to Salford all in the pipeline.
These challenges are being met in a sports broadcasting climate that is significantly evolving, with a number of major issues taking centre stage.
Today, in Westminster, I addressed a group of MPs and experts on one of the most emotive issues currently facing the industry - the government's review of listed events legislation.
For the BBC, the debate on the review is very simple.
Free-to-air listed events benefit audiences in a way that few other television events can manage. The arguments for protecting these events of major national resonance, such as the Olympics and Wimbledon, are as relevant today as they were when the system was first put in place.
In a diverse society and fragmenting media landscape, a big sporting moment is one of the few places where people can come together and unite. Major sporting events available on a universal, free-to-air basis must continue to be a cornerstone of our public service broadcasting system and are arguably more important than ever.
And we know that audiences agree.
Research has also told us that there are a core group of fans who are willing to pay to watch sport on television, but that leaves millions who only watch sport on free-to-air-channels. A significant majority of viewers would be lost to sport if they had to pay for it and in that context I believe that making major changes to the current listing structure would irreparably damage the cultural fabric of the UK.
We want to maintain access to sport for people who don't want to pay subscriptions; and, even more crucially, we see it as a public service commitment to help bring different and less mainstream sports to our mass-audience channels.
So with that, I'd like to move on to talking about all of the other things BBC Sport has on its plate at the moment.
In 2008 the BBC broadcast 1,077 hours of sport on terrestrial TV and 3,500 on our interactive services. On radio we broadcast 4,300 hours of output on 5 Live and 5 Live Sports Extra. We currently show a total of around 57 varieties of sport a year. We are also in the throes of a revolution in the way in which audiences expect their content delivered. Alongside television, that means online, mobile and red button services playing an important role in delivering our content as the national broadcaster.
As we are currently focused on events such as the Vancouver Winter Olympics in February 2010, next year's Football World Cup in South Africa and of course London 2012 - the most important planned event in the UK in our lifetimes and the biggest challenge ever to face BBC Sport - cross-platform services are crucial for all broadcasters in order to fully serve audience demands.
But there is another serious issue which I feel the BBC can play a role in and it is one that is affecting the future of this nation's health.
The British Heart Foundation has recently released research which shows that just one in eight children benefits from the recommended amount of daily exercise.
Their study concluded that more than two-thirds of all British children will suffer from obesity by 2050.
This is a pressing and serious issue and both individuals and organisations can play an important role. Families, of course, are crucial in this, but government, schools and councils have an important part to play too.
Ipsos MORI research indicates that watching live sport on TV can genuinely promote interest in sport, with 43% of UK adults saying that they have become more interested in sport as a result of watching it on TV, and for those who never participate in sport the result is 29%.
But the BBC as the national broadcaster can also have an important role here.
The power of high-quality sports broadcasting can be a powerful tool in inspiring young people to take up sport and increase participation across the country.
All posts are reactively-moderated and must obey the house rules.
Join the discussion...
The BBC has always played a significant part in championing sport in the UK from cup final weekends to the Olympics, from snooker to motorsports. As you say, you have an important role here in promoting participation for the health of our young people. But you also have a role here in promoting sport (and all the hundreds of jobs that sit alongside the actual 'playing') as a career that contributes to the health of our economy and the prosperity of our nation. I work for the charity icould (www.icould.com) where we provide young people with inpiring careers information told by real people in real jobs. Now most people can't play like Wayne Rooney but many can become grounds staff, physios, trainers and dieticians. Organisations like the BBC and charities like icould need to continue showing and promoting sport. Ultimately everyone wins!
May I ask where the British Heart Foundation's research is published?
Although it certainly paints a compelling adition to your discussion I'm not sure it is entirely acurate and I would be very interested to review the BHF report.
Obesity rates in children aged 2-15 have actually fallen steadily since 2004 (The Information Ctr / NHS) and the level of sport and physical activity undertaken by children, both in and out of a school setting, has risen dramatically since 2000 (School Sport Survey 2005-2009: TNS).
There are a vast quantity of 'false truths' pedalled by the British public regaring children and young people's interest, ability and participation and sport and physical activity. Perhaps a myth busting article from one of your team may set the record straight? (Heres a few suggestions to get the ball rolling... 'Schools are all selling off playing fields', 'Children aren't allowed to be competitive anymore', 'Sportsdays are banned'... The list could go on!)
I completely agree with the sentiment of your article and strongly standby the right of the public to view major sports events on free-to-air media. It is very much part of the cultural fabric and would be a sorely missed part of life for many.
Can i just say that for all the well-wishing warm zephyrs you leave here the national rugby union and cricket teams play huge amounts of games on Sky, while saturdays are filled with eventing and other minority sports.
how do you square this with serving the national interests?
Tell us about your gymnastics days, Barbara.
Very interesting blog but I felt it did not give as much insight as it could on the decision making process involved in selecting events to go on 'the list'. Also, what weight, if any, does EC legislation on competition have on this list?
For example, the Ashes was broadcast on Sky this year whereas the Six Nations (correct me if I'm wrong) is on the list. What makes one more significant that the other?
Showing a diverse range of sport is applauded but it seems to be getting more and more minority sport dominated as the mainstream sports disappear from terrestrial tv.
I think it's a safe bet that more people would tune in to The Ashes than The Great North Run and The BBC should be attempting to loosen Sky's grip on a number of major sporting events such as Premiership football and rugby and big boxing events.
Not being able to see much of a victorious Ashes series this summer is criminal - stump up the cash for these events BBC
Barbara, your predecessor posted regular blogs onto the Sports Editors blog: can I suggest you do the same - it'll bring you closer to the debate and allow you to better engage your audience.
As for what you've said above, the problem is that too often the BBC has "minority" sports on at the weekends, or worse there's nothing on and we're left with such delights as "Murder, She Wrote" (as last weekend). How do you square the circle? Could you explain why such delights as the NFL clash at Wembley simply disappeared from being live coverage this year?
And can you tell us more of your actual plans for the three major events next year (Vancouver Winter Olympic & Paralympic Games, Delhi Commonwealth Games and South Africa Football World Cup)?
Thanks, Jordan D.
Actually Barbara's article WAS also posted on the BBC Sport Editor's blog yesterday afternoon.
Chris Jones - Editor
Chris - I was talking about regular postings rather than one offs! (If you look, Roger Mosey posted a few times a month rather than Barbara's one off ... which you had to come over here to comment on!).
This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.
A request please, to compensate those of us who are DTT viewers who have lost access to an interactive channel. Despite initial agreement that it wouldn't be lost, see Press Red for detail. Can the Sport content on the BBC Sport website be encoded in the High Quality style of the F1 coverage so that we can HDMI our PCs to out TVs and get at least some feeling that the corporation cares? It's the least you can do.
Thank you to everyone who read and commented on this post.
Firstly, to answer parksmeup: the BHF report on child obesity can be found online here.
Secondly, I've attempted to answer as many of the questions raised as possible on a new post which can be found here.
Barbara Slater - BBC Director of Sport
Ms. Slater:
Sport and its participation is very good and, its matters
and, I am glad that the BBC is all giving the community an opportunity
to view all type of Sport...

Ponzi Pinot Gris 2013
Pinot Gris/Grigio from Willamette Valley, Oregon
Winemaker's Notes
Aromas of marzipan, key lime, white tea and magnolia precede the full mouth with hints of lemon meringue, verbena, and white pepper. The juicy acidity keeps the perfect balance of lush fruit and bright freshness.
Critical Acclaim
Wilfred Wong of Wine.com - "Starts out beautiful and continues all the way to the finish as one of the world's very best pinot gris, the 2013 Ponzi energizes the palate, with its zesty, dried citrus aromas and flavors; satisfying and crisp in the finish. Luisa Ponzi has produced a real winner, which is no surprise. She is such a dedicated and enthusiastic winemaker! "
Wine Enthusiast - "This leesy and creamy yet bracing wine reveals abundant melon, citrus and pear fruit flavors. Balance and finesse are on full display, as always the case in Luisa Ponzi's wines. "
Ponzi Winery
Thriving under the second generation for more than two decades, this family owned and operated winery is internationally acclaimed for crafting some of the world's finest cool climate wines. For more than forty years, Ponzi Vineyards has set the standard for New World Pinot noir production with innovation in gravity flow and gentle handling techniques. All 130 acres of Ponzi vineyards are certified sustainable, recognizing the winery's commitment to environmental responsibility. Ponzi Vineyards continues to set the bar for Oregon wines and remains at the forefront of the nation's top wine producers. View all Ponzi Wines
About Willamette ValleyView a map of Willamette Valley wineries (will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley are are number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.
About OregonOregon has long been an agricultural state, producing everything from hazelnuts to cattle. The Willamette Valley in particular is a fertile basin for all sorts of produce. Not quite pegged as a wine state, in 1965, a UC Davis graduate named David Lett decided that the Willamette's climate mirrored that of Burgundy in France. With that in mind, he decided to plant some Pinot Noir clones to see how they did. And a good gamble it was. The Willamette is now one of the only regions in the world to focus solely on Pinot Noir as its red variety. Also known for Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The southern part of Oregon has been slower in delving into the world wine market, but has been making excellent strides with their Rhone style varietals, like Syrah and Grenache. There are also coastal regions producing promising wines.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

A win-win-win solution: Biofuel, climate and biodiversityJune 25, 2014 10:44 pm | News | Comments
Fossil fuel emissions release billions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year. In Brazil, the demand for alternative energy sources has led to an increase in biofuel crops. New research demonstrates the high carbon costs of converting intact Brazilian savanna compared to the carbon gains obtained from converting underutilized pastureland for biofuel crops.
Understanding the ocean's role in Greenland glacier meltJune 24, 2014 8:33 am | News | Comments
In the last 40 years, ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet increased four-fold contributing to one-quarter of global sea level rise. Some of the increased melting at the surface of the ice sheet is due to a warmer atmosphere, but the ocean's role in driving ice loss largely remains a mystery. Research by U.S. scientists sheds new light on the connection between the ocean and Greenland's outlet glaciers.
If global warming is real, why was it so cold and snowy last winter?June 13, 2014 10:23 am | by Greta Guest, Univ. of Michigan | News | Comments
More Americans view global warming by what they see outside their windows and not scientific evidence, according to a Univ. of Michigan survey. While a majority of Americans still believe that global warming is occurring, the cold and snowy winter of 2014 created more disbelievers, according to the National Surveys on Energy and Environment.
Solving the puzzle of ice age climatesJune 3, 2014 9:12 am | by Genevieve Wanucha, Oceans at MIT | News | Comments
The paleoclimate record for the last ice age tells of a cold Earth whose northern continents were covered by vast ice sheets. Chemical traces from plankton fossils in deep-sea sediments reveal rearranged ocean water masses, as well as extended sea ice coverage off Antarctica. Air bubbles in ice cores show that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was far below levels seen before the Industrial Revolution.
Obama rolls out rule to cut power plant pollutionJune 2, 2014 11:58 am | by Dina Cappiello and Josh Lederman, Associated Press | News | Comments
The U.S. government rolled out a plan Monday to cut carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by 30% by 2030, a centerpiece of President Barack Obama's efforts to reduce the pollution linked to global warming. The rule, expected to be final next year, sets in motion one of the most significant actions on global warming in U.S. history.
Global survey: Climate change now a mainstream part of city planningMay 29, 2014 8:31 am | by Peter Dizikes, MIT News Office | News | Comments
An increasing number of cities around the world now include preparations for climate change in their basic urban planning; but only a small portion of them have been able to make such plans part of their economic development priorities, according to a unique global survey of cities. The Urban Climate Change Governance Survey underscores the extent to which city leaders recognize climate change as a major challenge.

A new way of measuring sea level using satellite navigation system signals, such as GPS, has been implemented by scientists in Sweden. Sea level and its variation can easily be monitored using existing coastal GPS stations, the scientists have shown, and requires just two antennas that measure signals both directly from the satellites and signals reflected off the sea surface.
Study shows iron from melting ice sheets may help buffer global warmingMay 21, 2014 9:22 am | News | Comments
A newly-discovered source of oceanic bioavailable iron could have a major impact on our understanding of marine food chains and global warming. A team in the U.K. has discovered that summer meltwaters from ice sheets are rich in iron, which will have important implications on phytoplankton growth. In turn phytoplankton capture carbon, thus buffering the effects of global warming.
Scientists forecast economic impacts of the drought on Central Valley agricultureMay 20, 2014 8:19 am | by Kat Kerlin, UC Davis News Service | News | Comments
California's drought will deal a severe blow to Central Valley irrigated agriculture and farm communities this year, and could cost the industry $1.7 billion and cause more than 14,500 workers to lose their jobs, according to preliminary results of a new study by the Univ. of California, Davis Center for Watershed Sciences.
Studies say climate change worsens wildfiresMay 19, 2014 11:44 am | by Seth Borenstein, Associated Press | News | Comments
The devastating wildfires scorching Southern California offer a glimpse of a warmer and fierier future, according to scientists and federal and international reports. In the past three months, at least three different studies and reports have warned that wildfires are getting bigger, that man-made climate change is to blame, and it's only going to get worse with more fires starting earlier in the year.
Study: Emissions from forests influence first stage of cloud formationMay 16, 2014 8:03 am | News | Comments
Clouds are the largest source of uncertainty in present climate models. Much of the uncertainty surrounding clouds' effect on climate stems from the complexity of cloud formation. New research from scientists at the Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) experiment at CERN sheds light on new-particle formation, which is the very first step of cloud formation and a critical component of climate models.
Radar surveys and data models indicate West Antarctica Ice Sheet collapse underwayMay 13, 2014 7:27 am | News | Comments
Researchers at the Univ. of Washington have concluded that Antarctica's fast-moving Thwaites Glacier will likely disappear in a matter of centuries, potentially raising sea level by more than a half a meter. Data gathered by airborne radar, detailed topography maps and computer modeling were used to make the determination. The fastest scenario based on the data, the researchers said, is 200 years, and the longest is more than 1,000 years.
Ice-loss moves the Earth 250 miles beneath our feetMay 12, 2014 9:22 am | News | Comments
Studies of Antarctica have shown the earth is "rebounding" due to the overlying ice sheet shrinking in response to climate change. This movement of the land was understood to be an elastic response and a very slow uplift over thousands of years. But new research has revealed that the land in this region is actually rising at a phenomenal rate of 15 mm a year, much greater than can be accounted for by the present-day elastic response alone.
How to count methane emissionsApril 28, 2014 7:29 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
In formulating policies to address greenhouse gas emissions, or evaluating the potential impact of different energy technologies on global climate change, one of the thorniest issues is how to account for the very distinctive characteristics of various different gases. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, as well as a significant byproduct of using natural gas. But a direct comparison between methane and carbon dioxide is complicated.
Microscopic organism plays big role in ocean carbon cyclingApril 24, 2014 4:44 pm | News | Comments
It's broadly understood that the world's oceans play a crucial role in the global-scale cycling and exchange of carbon between Earth's ecosystems and atmosphere. Now scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography have taken a leap forward in understanding the microscopic underpinnings of these processes. The discovery involves "recycling" bacteria that play an important role in regulating the ocean's storage of carbon dioxide.
Today's Antarctic region once as hot as California, FloridaApril 22, 2014 8:20 am | by Eric Gershon, Yale Univ. | News | Comments
Parts of ancient Antarctica were as warm as today's California coast, and polar regions of the southern Pacific Ocean registered 21st-century Florida heat, according to scientists using a new way to measure past temperatures. The findings underscore the potential for increased warmth at Earth's poles and the associated risk of melting polar ice and rising sea levels, the researchers said.
Poll: Big Bang a big question for most AmericansApril 21, 2014 4:21 am | by Jennifer Agiesta - Associated Press - Associated Press | News | Comments
Few Americans question that smoking causes cancer. But they express bigger doubts as concepts that scientists consider to be truths get further from our own experiences and the present time, an Associated Press-GfK poll found. Americans have more skepticism than confidence in global warming, the age of the Earth and evolution and have the most trouble believing a Big Bang created the universe 13.8 billion years ago.
Fish from acidic ocean waters less able to smell predatorsApril 16, 2014 8:05 am | by Brett Israel, Georgia Institute of Technology | News | Comments
Fish living on coral reefs where carbon dioxide seeps from the ocean floor were less able to detect predator odor than fish from normal coral reefs, according to a new study. The study confirms laboratory experiments showing that the behavior of reef fishes can be seriously affected by increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the ocean.
Moth study suggests hidden climate change impactsApril 15, 2014 11:23 am | by Jim Erickson, Univ. of Michigan | News | Comments
A 32-year study of subarctic forest moths in Finnish Lapland suggests that scientists may be underestimating the impacts of climate change on animals and plants because much of the harm is hidden from view. The study analyzed populations of 80 moth species and found that 90% of them were either stable or increasing throughout the study period, from 1978 to 2009.
An Arctic ozone hole? Not quiteApril 15, 2014 11:06 am | by Audrey Resutek, MIT | News | Comments
Since the discovery of the Antarctic ozone hole, scientists, policymakers and the public have wondered whether we might someday see a similarly extreme depletion of ozone over the Arctic. But a new Massachusetts Institute of Technology study finds some cause for optimism: Ozone levels in the Arctic haven't yet sunk to the extreme lows seen in Antarctica, because international efforts to limit ozone-depleting chemicals have been successful.
Cost of fighting warming 'modest,' says UN panelApril 13, 2014 12:20 pm | by Karl Ritter - Associated Press - Associated Press | News | Comments
The cost of keeping global warming in check is "relatively modest," but only if the world acts quickly to reverse the buildup of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, the head of the U.N.'s expert panel on climate change said Sunday. Such gases, mainly carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels, rose on average by 2.2% a year in 2000-2010.
Greenland ice cores show industrial record of acid rainApril 11, 2014 11:29 am | by Hannah Hickey, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
The rise and fall of acid rain is a global experiment whose results are preserved in the geologic record.

They also discovered a link between air acidity and how nitrogen is preserved in layers of snow.
Artificial cooling tricky topic for climate panelApril 10, 2014 5:19 pm | by Karl Ritter, Associated Press | News | Comments
The U.N.'s expert panel on climate change is under pressure this week as it considers whether geoengineering should be part of the tool-kit that governments use to keep global warming in check. Drafts leaked before the conference only mentioned one of the proposed options, removing carbon dioxide from the air and storing it underground. But some countries support solar radiation management as well.
Climate meeting to discuss future of fossil fuelsApril 7, 2014 9:14 am | by Frank Jordans, Associated Press | News | Comments
After concluding that global warming almost certainly is man-made and poses a grave threat to humanity, the U.N.-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, is meeting next week in Berlin to chart ways in which the world can curb the greenhouse gas emissions that scientists say are overheating the planet. It is also trying to give estimates on what it would cost.
Study: Deep ocean current may slow due to climate changeMarch 21, 2014 2:12 pm | News | Comments
Far beneath the surface of the ocean, deep currents act as conveyer belts, channeling heat, carbon, oxygen and nutrients around the globe. A new study by the Univ. of Pennsylvania's Irina Marinov and Raffaele Bernardello and colleagues from McGill Univ. has found that recent climate change may be acting to slow down one of these conveyer belts, with potentially serious consequences for the future of the planet's climate.

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis extolled the benefits of sharing wealth with the poor on Tuesday, warning that "unjust" social conditions like unemployment can lead to sin, financial ruin and even suicide.
The Jesuit pope has frequently railed about the excesses of capitalism and income disparity in a globalized world, and his message for Lent issued Tuesday echoed those same concerns.
Lent is the solemn period leading up to Holy Week and Easter, when the faithful recall Christ's death and resurrection. It's a time when Christians often fast, and Francis urged the faithful to deny themselves certain things this Lent "to help and enrich others by our own poverty."
"When power, luxury and money become idols, they take priority over the need for a fair distribution of wealth," he said in the short message. "Our consciences thus need to be converted to justice, equality, simplicity and sharing."
He said it's not enough to just make charitable offerings. "''Let us not forget that real poverty hurts: no self-denial is real without this dimension of penance. I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt," he wrote.
While calling for Christians to actually touch poverty and make it their own, Francis distinguished material poverty or destitution from moral destitution, which he said "consists of slavery to vice and sin."
"How much pain is caused in families because one of their members — often a young person — is in thrall to alcohol, drugs, gambling and pornography!" he lamented.
Sometimes "unjust social conditions" like unemployment lead to this type of destitution by depriving people of the dignity of work and access to education and health care, he said.
"In such cases, moral destitution can be considered impending suicide."
Francis has riled some conservative Americans for his denunciation of capitalism and trickle-down economic theory, which is says is based on a survival of the fittest mentality "where the powerful feed upon the powerless" with no regard for ethics, the environment or even God.
His predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, however, espoused the exact same concerns, writing an entire encyclical in 2009 in which he denounced the profit-at-all-cost mentality blamed for bringing about the global financial meltdown and called for a new world financial order guided by ethics and the search for the common good.

Robinson hails Scotland win
March 19, 2011
Richie Gray competes for a lineout with Sergio Parisse © Getty Images
Andy Robinson praised the determination of his side as Scotland finished the Six Nations with a flourish and avoided the wooden spoon with a 21-8 victory over Italy at Murrayfield on Saturday.
Nick De Luca scored Scotland's first try at Murrayfield since November 2009 and Nikki Walker added another in the same corner as the hosts crossed for two touchdowns in quick succession early in the second-half, turning the game in their favour.
"That's what we're here for, to win games of rugby - I thought we got our just rewards today from our endeavour to move our game forward," he said. "I'm not going to hide away from the fact we were disappointed coming to the end of the Championship not having won a game, as we did last year.
"It's something we've got to look at for the start of the next Championship. I believe the players have given everything and it's about the small margins. We can't allow ourselves to come into the last game and get a win. We need to win earlier in the Championship.
Scotland's set-piece struggled early in the tournament, but the forwards dominated against a powerful Italian pack. Man of the Match Richie Gray was particularly impressive in the lineout.
"I thought Richie Gray on the opposition ball was fantastic," he said. "Al [Kellock, the Scotland captain] said to me he didn't call one lineout for Richie because he was winning too much on the opposition ball. But that's down to homework. The guys have put a lot of work in."
Scotland's scrum disintegrated all too often in previous matches, resulting in costly penalties and Robinson was pleased with the improvement.
"We changed the hit which was important and led to the eight scrummaging together," he said. "I've been seeing improvements throughout the Championship."
Italy head coach Nick Mallett denied his side struggled to raise their game for a second time in seven days. "I don't think mentally we were out of this game, we badly wanted to win," he said. "At half-time there was no problem at all. What changed the game was the two mistakes we made on attacking. The game turns on small things. It was a very disappointed changing room afterwards."

Burning Bush Top
I have a burning bush whose top needs work. Does the highlighted, thicker top branch seem too thick to bend so it is more upright, in line with the trunk? Or should I shoot for a crown, broom-like style?
The thickness of that top branch is about 3/8". I guess I would have to saw a notch in it so it can be set vertical?
It needs some serious pruning and a lot of reduction in the upper 1/3 of the plant. Your first chore should be getting that area where you have more than 6 branches emanating from essentially the same spot. That's going to swell up like a balloon & ruin your tree.
PS - your plant tends to make lots of branches from every pruning cut. Make sure your tree has only branch bifurcations (crotches) not trifurcations (like a trident) or more branches originating from the same place.
Can't tell by the picture, but the top is already much too heavy. You want to substantially reduce the top of the tree, eliminating the heavy branches and getting to work on ramification. If you don't reduce that bundle of branches just below the blue arrow this year, you're going to end up with no solutions other than carving it out later, or chopping the tree back below that swelling and putting it in the ground for a while before building a whole new top.
That is sweet. I would like to see picture this fall. Currently I have a burning brush as well. I dug it out about 5 years ago bare root. Could not salvage any roots. I planted it in the middle of my yard its recovered nicely and next year plan on digging it out. and working on it in a pot. though I was the only one seeing potential with this species., Awesome dude!

how much purple on my front door?
my house is painted Sherwin Williams svelte sage. The trim is Sherwin Williams muslin. I am going to paint the door Sherwin Williams expressive plum- paint chip in this picture. I am just wondering if I should paint the transom and the side lights in expressive plum or the trim color. What do you guys think?
A vote to do the whole door, windows and transom -- and add a large black iron door knocker -- just below the door window .....
Olychick do you live in Olympia, WA? I do.
Tibbrix, I have to say BM vintage charm was a close runner up for the door color. I think you were the one that liked that color....
I love the pic of green door with the shutters. Unfortunately, I do not have any shutters and the purple door will be the only purple on the house...so I am not sure if that makes a difference. I should have been more clear, a painter is doing this not me and while he is very good painter at a good price he does not like changes mid stream. I am thinking if I have him to just the front door I could always do the sidelights myself. It is just hard to know.
My photoshop skills suck but here is just front door....
Hi! I'm in Oly also! (I know that Olychick lives here.) I'm curious about your painter. DH started painting our house two summers ago and isn't done. He says he's going to work on it and finish this summer, but I have major doubts so I've decided to get a couple quotes to finish the painting. I'd really like to get it done this summer. Would you mind sharing your painter's info? My email is attached to my profile if you'd rather not share it here.
I agree with painting the door and sidelights. That's a great color!
That house is SO cool! Love it. I hope you'll post finished pics. What a beautiful-looking spot you have.
Yes, I'm the Vintage Charm and Van Courtland blue hound (and chocolate brown!).
I love the rusticity of the dusty purple, but it's also interesting, IMO, because it's a bit different without being absurd or neighbor-cringing.
This morning I'm back to liking just the door being painted! Do just the door, live with it for a while and see if it feels like it needs help, and if so, paint the side window trim. Again, easier to add than to subtract paint!
I think you should also attach a brass kick plate to the door.
You are going to have a lovely home and the "burple" will be gawgjeus with the house color.
I think you can paint it and see it all done in white and neutral (save the purple door) and then decide if you want to spread the purple love to the sidelights and transom or let the door stand alone.
I thought painting just the door made it look too small. But I like the door Tibbrix posted. I'm trying to figure out why it looks good in that photo but not so much on your door, and it could be that the trim around that door is very wide. It gives more framing to the side lights and makes them feel part of the trim. Your side lights can't stand up to the plum door with the narrower trim and makes them feel insignificant. So in your case I'd paint the side lights to match the door.
i think either way might look nice, and would approach it like patricia43 suggested and see if just the door purple looks like enough or too small...
if you do paint the sidelights and transom too, i would paint the trim purple too... i don't care for the white/trim colored pieces separating the sidelights from the door- it obviosly is a matter of individual tastes because you do see some doors with the trim pieces separating the door and transom painted the different trim color, but i prefer it all one color-especially with darker colors!! then have the molding around door/sidelights painted the trim color.

Conway police learn more about missing child response
During the early weeks of the investigation, representatives from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, based in Arlington, Va., came to Conway and worked closely with Conway Police, said Wagner, during a telephone interview on Feb. 27.
The center touts its access to many public databases which can help with case-analysis and mapping and which Wagner, after learning about that capability, said was impressive.
"This will broaden what we have and make it a little easier for us to respond" in the event of a missing child report, the chief said. The the other thing he and Mattei also came to quickly appreciate was that "the center has tons and tons of resources and I think that's what we got out of this class, that we're not alone."
"It was really good training," he said.

Anyhow we made it eventually and I have NEVER seen anything like it. This fortified City comprises of the Chateau Comtal, Basilique St. Nazaire and Theatre J. Deschamps. It is the most amazing fairytale castle. There are ...
Goodbye Montpezat. Hello Carcassonne
Today was both a sad, yet exciting day. We were all a little sad to be leaving Montpezat-de-Quercy where we througly enjoyed our stay, but excited to head off onto the next stage of our adventure. On our last drive down the hill we spotted three wild deer in a field near the road, this is a rare sighting and we guess they came out to say goodbye as well.
Next stop Carcassone! Carcassone is a very interesting city which is divided by the L'Aude River with a ...
The Green Fairy
... old city. A quick walk up a hill took us to the fortress, which is huge and intact. Crossing the drawbridge took us into the inner walls and smack dab into the middle of a few thousand tourists. Virginie walked us along the lists to a different entrance, and things were much quieter there. We had free time to explore, so Joyce, Carrie and I decided to go see the castle at the innermost part of the old city. It's been kept very well, and there were decent explanations. However, ...

We decided to press on at walking pace until off of the motorway and
just as soon as it had started, it stopped. The hotel was
conveniently located half a mile from the old city walls and the
hotel receptionist was very kind in drying our jeans and clothing for
us in the hotel laundry. When we had recovered, we walked up the
road and into the old city. It was very photogenic and worth ...
A short trip to a mid-evil joust
... and some other character narrated and at some point in the middle of the show another prisoner tunneled his escape end his tunnel unfortunately in the middle of the dukes court. He was a thief I think and was periodically brought to the center to be yelled at and tortured. At one point he was drawn and forced to drink water from a syphon? No idea what this had to do with the story, but oh well. The jousting and sword fights were like a less dramatic ...

text: Cruises To Costa Maya Though Cancun and the Riviera Maya get the most attention from visitors to Mexico's Caribbean coast, interest in Costa Maya (or Grand Costa Maya) has been growing. The area, which starts a four- to five-hour drive south of Cancun, stretches from Punta Allen south to the border with Belize. It's more than 100 mi/160 km south of Tulum in the Riviera Maya. Although many travelers opt to drive from Cancun (where rental cars are plentiful) to the Costa Maya, it's also possible to take a bus from C...

Brazil is in a state.
The economy probably contracted last year, will likely do so again in 2015 and the recession may extend through 2016.
And there is little anyone can do about it.
The government can't stimulate the economy as inflation is soaring and it needs to cut spending to bring public accounts under control. If it ignores these issues, it risks an economic meltdown.
Politics is also a mess. President Dilma Rousseff was just re-elected in October but her approval rating is way down (only 11% approved of her government in March) amid a ...

Product Information
- The Cooking Club for Kids Ice Cream Kit from Be Retail
- Part of the The Cooking Club for Kids brand
- We recommend this product for ages 3 and up
- 4 AA batteries required TTPM trusts
What It Is
With The Cooking Club for Kids Ice Cream Kit, kids can make their own real ice cream. The kit includes a battery-operated ice cream maker, an ice cream scoop, two ice cream bowls with spoons, and four ice cream recipes: Mango and Banana Ice Cream, Strawberry Sorbet, Honeycomb Bar Ice Cream Cake with Chocolate Sauce, and Vanilla Ice Cream. Follow the instructions on the recipe cards to combine ingredients, mix the ice cream in the ice cream maker, and freeze the ice cream.
We made the Mango and Banana Ice Cream. In a bowl, combine 3.38 ounces of condensed milk, 10.14 ounces of pouring cream, and 3.38 ounces of evaporated milk, then stir until well incorporated. Then pour the mixture into the ice cream maker. With a fork, mash a banana and mango in a bowl. Then put the fruit mixture into the ice cream maker. Put the ice cream lid on and press the freeze and mix button, then place the ice cream maker into the freezer. After three to four hours, the ice cream will be ready to take out of the freezer. Let it thaw for about five minutes. This recipe serves four.
Is It Fun?
The Cooking Club for Kids kits are a great way to let kids participate in cooking. Young kids see chefs cooking on TV and parents cooking in the kitchen, and kids want to make their own food, too. The Cooking Club for Kids Ice Cream Kit makes it easy for kids to make their favorite dessert, while also reinforcing skills, such as following directions and measuring, and giving kids confidence in the kitchen.
Who It's For
The Cooking Club for Kids Ice Cream Kit is for ages 3 and up. Parental supervision is required at all times.
What To Be Aware Of
Four AA batteries are required but not included.
It's difficult to take off the lid after the ice cream has been in the freezer. We had to pry the lid off with a flathead screwdriver. Kids will definitely need parental help to open it.
Ingredients are not included in the kit. You'll need to purchase the ingredients for each recipe.
A Cooking Club apron and chef hat are sold separately.
There are a variety of other Cooking Club for Kids kits, including a Pancake Making Kit, Cake Kit, Pasta Kit, Gingerbread Making Kit, and more. Each is sold separately.
Wash the base of the ice cream maker, ice cream scoop, bowls, and spoons in warm water with mild detergent prior to use. Do not immerse the lid of the ice cream maker. The ice cream scoop, bowls, and spoons are dishwasher-safe.

Sadly, apart from the excellent location (very good and Central) and really polite / helpful staff - there wasn't much to like. Rooms are basic (but perhaps about right on the value for money front) while lobby, Wi-Fi is very good
The hotel seems to have very poor ventilation & severe humidity issues which requires that air-conditioning is kept on most of the time (even when not in room to prevent condensation). Additionally, sound proofing is very poor and you can hear even the softest of conversations, TV/Audio from adjoining rooms.
While room was clean, corridor carpets were stained and dirty. The hotel is also undergoing some kind of repair and upgrade, so I can only hope they get it right soon. Overall, a very uncomfortable two night's sleep.
During our week long trip we stayed here 4 nights. Our first night at a really nice high end hotel. Then went to Macau for a night. Came back to Hong Kong and stayed here. Not bad at all. Very affordable. Very convenient for Taxi or MTR Subway. Close to shopping. We did the 1 Bdrm. Clean room. Feels like a small apartment. Hardwood floors. Larger refrigerator and cooktop, microwave, sink. Perfect because we have a 2yr old. Maid service good. Fresh towels everyday.
Entry to hotel is a tight small stairway. You have to carry luggage up Til you get to the elevator, but that's the building they can't help that.
Check in lady needs to work on customer service a little. Kept rolling her eyes when my mother was trying to talk ( and we are Chinese and my mom lives in Hong Kong) It's ok tho. Overall semi friendly enough because I didn't have to see them again. Not a deal breaker. I would stay here again. Check out time it was a guy that helped us.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

- Love is a fire.
Burns down all that it sees.
Burns down everything.
Everything you think
Burns down
Everything you say.She blew me her death-kiss
And the mouth-marks
Bled down my eye,
Like her dying
On my windshield.
I can already feel
Her worms
Eating my spine.
So how can it be this lonely?
Is this all we get
For our lives?
Is love only sweeter when
One of dies?Then I knew that our love was
Just a car crash away.
I knew that our love was just a car crash away.-M.M.

From Our Editors
The fitness gurus at Ground Zero Fitness eschew the clammy confines of the gym for the wide-open turf of Seacrest Soccer Complex, where beginner and advanced athletes alike meet up to motivate each other through 60-minute boot camps. Clients hoist themselves toward the sky on pull up stations, roll tires across the field, perform floor exercises, and heft free weights at high-octane intervals that are broken up by shorts periods of rest. Those looking for more focused attention can opt for semiprivate or one-on-one sessions, which the instructors customize to suit the client's specific goals.
