Beginning last night, Sky Sports 3 is broadcasting a series of 20 interviews with great figures from Britain's sporting past conducted by the old ITV hand Dickie Davies, who was big on the box when some of today's star presenters were in nappies.
First up was the 1980 Olympic 800 metres gold medallist, Steve Ovett, to be followed by his great middle-distance rival, Sebastian Coe, and such notables as John Charles, Tom Finney, Colin Cowdrey, Mary Peters, Stirling Moss, Willie Carson, Roger Bannister, Gareth Edwards and Henry Cooper. Davies's personal choices, all qualify as sporting heroes.
I'm certain, anyway, that the status ought not to awarded lightly. It has as much, maybe more, to do with presence as achievement, a matter of people confronting fame and time and themselves.
A friend, Tom Cushman, who writes sensitive sports columns for the San Diego Union-Tribune recalls the thrill he felt as a college freshman track athlete when hearing of Bannister's four-minute mile. "It was unbelievable," he said. "From that moment Bannister was, and still is, one of my sporting heroes."
The fact that Bannister did not win an Olympic gold medal is irrelevant. Henry Cooper didn't make it to world class, his only attempt at the heavyweight championship ending in bloody defeat by Muhammad Ali in 1966, but the years since then have not diminished his popularity. Stirling Moss failed to win the drivers' world championship but he remains unquestionably a hero of motor racing.
Last year I attended a dinner at which Charles was given a lifetime award for his great feats in football. Most of those present had never seen the Welshman play, not even on television, but they knew a hero when they saw one. Many footballers today state the desire to be with a club that offers them a chance of winning championship and cup medals. A brilliant England international, all Finney has to show for a club career spent entirely in Preston North End's colours is a loser's medal in the 1954 FA Cup final.
Recently, I was recalling for some young people (this happens all too frequently these days) a period through which I lived as a goggle-eyed boy. Television was only a rumour so a sense of sporting heroism could only be gained from newspapers and radio. Importantly, I later discovered that one or two of the heroes who thrived in my imagination, Stanley Matthews and Denis Compton for example, were heroes to many millions.
I still find sport a better area than most to look for truth. Without question we stand in the middle of a national sports boom: growing attendances, better-prepared performers who in some case get more for their labours than people are paid for running countries. Precisely where we stand in the matter of heroes is less apparent.
If Davies had come a little further forward in time he could have found other candidates. Ian Botham was a natural hero of cricket. For all his technical limitations Frank Bruno was, in a curious way, heroic. Lennox Lewis may be the most accomplished heavyweight out there but somehow heroism doesn't fit with him.
Sporting hero is a term that should be handled with care and discretion. Nick Faldo has climbed higher in golf than one of Davies's heroes, Tony Jacklin, and is unquestionably a hero but Jacklin's success was totally unexpected and therefore more heroic.
Once you get into something like this, I frankly don't know where you stop and how the leading figures in British sport today will be looked upon by historians of the future. Nobody will have to think twice about Steven Redgrave, but it's difficult to imagine that Paul Gascoigne will qualify as an all-time British hero and, despite his prowess, Alan Shearer may never be spoken of in the same breath as many illustrious figures in the fairly recent history of football.
All the heroes Davies has selected relished personal success and took pleasure in the honours that came to them. Circumstances saved their greatness from the modern carnival vulgarity that would have debased it. That was good for sport and good for the concept of heroism.Reuse content

Twin Sets!
Not really of the shell and cardigan style. Bella was invited to a birthday party for her friends a few weeks ago. She has known these girls for a few years and we wanted to do something special. So I made them matching pj's with pillowcases. The girls loved them and I was happy with how they turned out. The fabric is Alexander Henry. I have had it for quite a long time so I am sure it is out of print.

Point Julia | Port Gamble Mill Site | Log Transfer Area | Ravenswood | Hansville Landfill | Shooting Areas
Mouth of Ship Builders Creek | Eyer Property
The Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribal Response Program is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess and clean up properties, that have either real or perceived contamination, and to prevent future contamination. Properties such as these are called brownfields sites, originating from the Brownfields Revitalization Act which made funding available to create state and tribal response programs. Many brownfield sites exist on reservations and in usual and accustomed hunting and fishing grounds, leftover from industrial and municipal activities. Types of brownfields sites can vary from an old mill site, dumps, or other contaminated buildings.
Additional grants are obtained to study and clean up these sites. It is important to note that one of the major aspects of the Brownfields Program is to redevelop or reuse cleaned property for economical value. In many areas, large-scale redevelopment, such as condos and business parks, are built on cleaned brownfields sites. The Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe is more interested in light reuse, which focuses on allowing beneficial use of a site while protecting and enhancing natural resources. Fortunately, for tribes, simply returning land back to culturally beneficial uses, such as shellfish harvesting, qualifies as reuse. On this website, you will be able to access the Public Record that contains our list of potentially contaminated sites and related information.
A Brownfields Tribal Response Program is required by the EPA to have certain components. Listed below are the Four Elements: How PGST includes or is taking reasonable steps to include the four elements in the response program and previous progress made with this funding .
- Timely Survey and Inventory of brownfields sites:The survey and inventory process has produced a list of sites that are potentially contaminated on and around the PGST reservation. These sites were researched and have been prioritized and ranked. The prioritization and ranking were based on the value of cultural and natural resources on each site, along with the potential to achieve beneficial reuse or redevelopment from the site. The prioritization and ranking of sites based on these criteria, was recommended by natural resource professionals and approved by the Tribal Council. The top three sites are 1) Point Julia, 2) the Port Gamble Mill Site, and 3) the Log Transfer Area. Due to property ownership and funding availability, other sites may be addressed before these can be cleaned up.
- Oversight and enforcement authorities or other mechanisms andresources: PGST has no Voluntary Cleanup Program Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with EPA. However, the PGST works with other agencies that provide a mechanism by which property owners and or potential liable parties may be issued a letter of no further action using Risk-Based Corrective Action principles (ASTM E-1739 "Standard Guide for Risk-Based Corrective Action Applied at Petroleum Release Sites," etc.) for their site. This goal will be accomplished by continuing the work of our TRP.
- Mechanisms and resources to provide meaningful opportunities for public participation: It is important to note that public outreach and education occurs on a smaller scale than nontribal Response programs. Since we are located on the tribal Reservation, there are frequent interactions with tribal members, children, and educational departments, which provide an opportunity for outreach and education. Such activities include events and meetings to educate on the state of our local natural resources related to contamination, attending Tribal Council and other government meetings or forums to provide updates on progress of the program, public review of the potentially contaminated site list and ABCA. The TRPM will continue to hold community meetings to educate the tribal community on the program and cleanup efforts underway, to solicit information on potentially contaminated sites, and to inform them on the Bay's health. Public outreach also occurred with local school aged children in scheduled events and classes during the 2014 funding cycle. The TRPM will continue to provide information and opportunities for participation through the Public Record at https://www.pgst.nsn.us/tribal-programs/tribal-services/natural-resources/brownfields-tribal-response-program.
- Mechanisms for approval of a cleanup plan and verification and certification that cleanup is complete: Although the TRPM's involvement has been focused more on outreach and this to a lesser extent, it is important to stay informed of the cleanup process occurring in the bay since it has a direct impact to Tribal members and the food they harvest. During 2015, the TRPM will help to coordinate the planning for the former Mill Site and Point Julia. She will assist with outreach and education on the clean up of the former Port Gamble Mill Site. Further tasks will include managing contractual staff, performing public outreach and education, and completing required paperwork to conduct above described activities.

Comments about Wooden Alphabet Blocks With Personalized Cart:
When I saw the words "classic wood alphabet blocks", I thought they would be like the ones my three kids had when they were little. BIG MISTAKE! They are WAY smaller! The cart looks very cheap and the personlization on it was done with no eye to detail in my opinion. I could have done a better job myself!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

BOSTON -- Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury went 1-for-4 with a run as he started in center field for the PawSox. He's now 5-for-23 with two doubles, a homer, 3 RBIs, 5 runs and 4 walks in a total of seven minor league rehab games. He'll continue to work out at Fenway during the break and will likely be activated thereafter.
"When he's ready he'll be ready, but it's probably getting pretty close," Valentine said. After Boston's 7-3 loss to the Yankees on Sunday night, Valentine said he expects Ellsbury to be with the Sox when they resume play Friday at the Tampa Bay Rays.
Left fielder Carl Crawford will play at Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday. The left fielder suffered a minor setback and he was removed from his rehab assignment due to a mild groin strain on Saturday.
"He's feeling pretty good," Valentine said.
Crawford could return as soon as July 16, when the Sox return to Fenway for a series with the Chicago White Sox.

Ministry of Climate Change launches 11 environmental initiatives to mark UAE's 2nd annual Innovation Week
DUBAI, The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, MOCCAE, is launching 11 environmental initiatives between 20th and 26th November to mark the UAE's second annual Innovation Week, launched by Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The Ministry is holding several contests for its employees and public during this period.
The MOCCAE has set up an 'Air Quality Innovation Platform', an innovation lab to engage those working in this space, and discussion are being held on how to improve air quality. The second phase of study on air quality monitoring through satellites, in collaboration with the Masdar Institute, is also being launched with the innovation platform.
Among other projects, 'Our Happy Environment Encyclopaedia' initiative aims to use 5D technology innovatively to enable individuals to enhance green behaviours in areas such as water, energy, waste, air quality, climate change, sustainability and ecological footprint. Another project called 'Innovative 3Rs station' is aimed at raising awareness and change the behaviour of individuals in the field of integrated waste management (reduce, reuse, recycle).
'Schools Hackathon' will also be organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Education to recognise students who developed innovative projects to tackle environmental challenges.
The 'Environmental Innovation Marathon' is a contest for the sectors within the ministry to come up with an innovative solution for existing challenges by using innovation tools.
The 'Falak Tayeb' initiative will honour clients who came up with creative and innovative ideas for developing services and service channels in different areas.
A visit will be organised to the Integrated Seawater Energy and Agriculture System, ISEAS, a complete seawater agricultural system that will serve as a research and development facility for Masdar Institute of Science and Technology and the Sustainable Bioenergy Research Consortium or SBRC, established to advance sustainable business practices by developing technologies with the promise of producing a clean, alternative fuel supply.
'Eye on landfills' initiative monitors the treatment and rehabilitation of landfills with the help of drone camera.
Then there is the 'Environmental Innovation Eye', a contest open to all members of the society. The participants can send in short video clips that show their innovative, eco-friendly practices and promotes eco-tourism in the UAE, protecting natural resources and conserving energy. Each video, with a hashtag, will have to be shared via the Ministry's Instagram account.
'Innovators in Air Quality' is a contest to motivate university students to create areas of co-operation in innovation and teamwork to achieve the national agenda indicators to raise air quality index to 90 percent by 2021.
'Agricultural Innovative Armour' is a contest to promote agricultural innovation projects, using modern agricultural techniques, and effective and intelligent marketing methods.

The SEC Must Improve Disclosure of Material and Emerging Sustainability Risks
Aug 10, 2016
- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is starting to take sustainability risks—and corporate reporting of those risks—seriously.The concept is straightforward: climate change, water scarcity, human and workers' rights, and the ongoing global transition to a low carbon economy pose significant risks and opportunities to companies and the investors who own them.
Why Passing Climate Legislation Is Good for California's Water
Aug 08, 2016
- As every Californian knows by now, the state is in the fifth year of a drought, and this persistent imbalance of supply and demand in the water supply is likely the new norm. The good news is that many state leaders have woken up to this fact, and in recent years have been clearing some of the logjams around smart water management.
Wall-Street Warriors Becoming Water Aware
Aug 02, 2016
- Devastating droughts in California, Brazil, South Africa and elsewhere, coupled with global trends of groundwater depletion and water quality degradation are motivating investors to become more water aware.

Complications of 'New' Deep Groundwater
Jul 22, 2016
- As exciting as it was to learn of deep groundwater reserves in California, the state's efforts now are better spent pursuing more cost-effective solutions already at our fingertips.
SEC Climate Risk Disclosure Effort Under Serious Attack from Congress
Jul 18, 2016
- The lifeblood of financial markets is accurate information, and a major part of the SEC's mission is to ensure that publicly traded companies provide investors with information material to their performance.

Why We Believe the Auto Alliance Review of Fuel Economy Standards Misses the Mark
Jul 06, 2016

Jun 06, 2016

But last week's meetings at ExxonMobil and Chevron were different. They represented a watershed moment in combating the threats posed by climate change.
Recycled Water Key to California's Water Security
May 25, 2016

A 2020 roadmap for corporate sustainability
May 16, 2016
- Plotting a company's future is never a static process. Circumstances shift. Technologies change. Trends accelerate. This is surely the case as global businesses grapple with sustainability pressures like climate change, water risks and human rights challenges. Just as the urgency and complexity of these threats are increasing, operating environments for businesses are also changing dramatically. That's why we recently announced updated Ceres Roadmap expectations calling for accelerated action on key issues.
Can California Make Saving Water a Way of Life?
May 16, 2016
- California may be in danger of losing the gains it has worked hard to achieve in the last year in water conservation. A wet winter doesn't mean California is in the clear.
Ethiopia, Where the Paris Climate Agreement Gets Real
May 02, 2016
- As global leaders gathered at the United Nations to sign a historic climate agreement, Ceres' Peyton Fleming and his family stood in front of a tiny solar-powered trailer on the side of a dusty, dirt-packed road in Ethiopia.
Warren Buffett's Mixed Signals on Climate Risk and Insurance
Apr 28, 2016
- When it comes to addressing climate change impacts to Berkshire Hathaway's insurance business, Warren Buffett paints a somewhat misleading picture that minimizes the business risks posed by a demonstrably changing climate. In doing so, Buffett begs serious questions about his company's planning for climate impacts and undermines confidence in the insurance division's climate resilience.
Statement on the AES Shareholder Vote
Apr 22, 2016
- Yesterday at the annual meeting of utility AES, shareholders had their first chance to vote on a resolution asking a U.S. based company to stress test its investments against the low carbon future that the Paris agreement will help bring about. The resolution received support from 42% of investors, the highest vote ever for a 2 degree stress testing resolution in the U.S.
While the SEC Ignores Climate Change Risks, Others Step Up
Apr 11, 2016
- Six years ago, the SEC took one giant step toward acknowledging climate change as a financial risk and opportunity for markets. Their formal guidance on climate risk discusses climate risks, how they are material, and how they are disclosed—but the SEC has almost nothing to enforce that guidance.
'Sustainable' means different things in politics, but it's sound thinking in business
Apr 07, 2016
- Mention the word "sustainable" to a liberal member of Congress and you immediately have credibility, common ground with many. Mention the word "sustainable" to a conservative member and you might have a disagreement on your hands or, at a minimum, whatever you say after that will go unheard. But what does "sustainable" mean?
Why Food Waste Means Water Waste
Apr 07, 2016
- From an economic, environmental and social standpoint, keeping food out of landfills is imperative. We waste 40 percent of the food we buy each year while one in seven Americans go hungry, and the global agriculture industry emits one-third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. But there's another aspect of the food waste problem that gets much less discussion, one that is also critically important to water-stressed California: Saving food equals saving water.

So i've built a Max for Live sampler and it works pretty well, now I was wondering if there was a way to save the samples loaded into it with the live set?
Just to clarify, if I was using the sampler in two different live "sets", I would want it to remember the samples loaded into and associated with that live "set" and not a generic set of samples.
Any ideas would be great
you can use live.drop for this. Simply hang it above
a buffer~ and drag and drop à file on it and it's in your buffer and saved in your set as well. Very practical!
Good luck!

Welcome to a game that is well and far beyond destroyed by EA Games. I do not even have to go into it about what classic UO was. Classic UO players know full well what I am talking about.
If they said welcome back classic UO players, we now have a classic shard for you, I would jump for joy. For now, EA Games can eat a bucket of roasted dog turds for all I care. EA Games is missing out on some great cash from the classic UO fans. If they were smart, they would release classic UO on its own CD. It would be good to keep classic UO and the new destryoed UO seperate from eachother.
I totally agree with a classic server. I would go back in a heartbeat!
The Shikkadance Cometh!
same classic UO plz ...Ea ruined the game
all the classic uo fans are playing darkfall.

No they are playing classic UO cough shards and some are waiting for Mortal Online who's dev's have stated they want to bring classic UO to this generation. MO dev's were also hardcore classic UO fans. Darkfall Online is nothing like what classic UO was aside from full loot and skill based. Darkfall Online will never be what classic UO was. Do not let the BS artist Tasos or his fanbots mislead you into thinking DF is what classic UO was.
DarkFall look's great, but UO is quite an old school game. Even more if you play over some free heavy RP shards of UO. For that reason, I don't think that DF surpass this old game at all. Even if I never played over the pay-to-play servers, I guess it's stays a unique game. And when you enter the developement of your own server, it's even more a great experience to enjoy. It's a game with millions on possibilities that just need to be scripted after all.

Rappahannock River
One of the defining features of the Fredericksburg area is the Rappahannock River. It played a large role in history, and we Virginians love our history. But this year, we want to focus on a different aspect of the river. This year, let's talk about its wildlife.
As part of our Summer Reading celebration, the Central Rappahannock Regional Library is happy to welcome back The Wildlife Center of Virginia for one of our programs! You can meet some of the wild animals that depend on the river for survival and find out how your actions affect the river, the surrounding environment, and ultimately the animals themselves in a special program: Journey Along the River.
Adventure and discovery! It's on everyone's bucket list, right? You can find thrills, surprises, and enlightenment close to home by cruising the Rappahannock River. But before you go, do a little armchair adventuring with Brent Hunsinger, who joins us to share his experiences paddling the entire course of the Rappahannock, from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay, raising awareness of the river for the Friends of the Rappahannock. Brent will present at the Headquarters Library on Tuesday, September 29, at 7:00 PM.
Our rivers, lakes, and beaches are beautiful, but are they safe? Every day, the toxic runoff from parking lots, busy roads and quiet subdivisions makes its way into our streams and oceans. Even the oil burning off from cars on the roads gets washed into the groundwater and streams by way of the storm drain every time it rains.
The more houses we build, the more pollution we will add to our environment. Every time we lay down a new parking lot or piece of roadway, there is an impact on our environment.
One fine morning, the old wooden dam went up in clouds of smoke and broken timber. It was a huge thing—ancient and strong, built to tame the Rappahannock River. Once the power of the water pushing against it had provided electricity for the town. But that was years ago. The dam was falling apart, but so slowly that it was becoming dangerous. So the Army Corps of Engineers blew it up one morning.
Virginia's many rivers were strategic points in the Civil War. Thousands of men had to cross them at a time, whether by boat or pontoon bridge, or, in shallower places, on foot. Major rivers slowed down--or, in the case of flood, could block movement entirely. Generals placed their supply depots on rivers, and gunboats patrolled the waters, blasting artillery positions as well as enemy strongholds in large plantation houses.
In Mark Nesbitt's Rebel Rivers, readers are treated to an easy-to-follow guide to river sites and their Civil War history. Rebel Rivers, published by Stackpole Books, is available to check out from the library. The author is also the creator of the Ghosts of Gettysburg Candlelight Walking Tours® and the Ghosts of Fredericksburg Tours.
This excerpt is used with the author/copyright holder's permission.
In the year 1675 four interesting events were recorded in Stafford County. Three of these were considered omens of the fourth, and the fourth was considered of significance to the history of our area.
The first event was in the heavens. In the southwestern sky, for more than a week, each day appeared a large comet with a long tail resembling that of a horse on a windy day. The Indians and the whites alike wondered what might be the meaning of this heavenly sign.
By T.M., a planter and representative from Stafford County
But to return from this digression, the Susquehanoughs were newly driven from their habitations, at the head of Chesepiack bay, by the Cineca Indians, down to the head of Potomack, where they sought protection under the Pascataway Indians, who had a fort near the head of that river, and also were our ffriends.
By General G. Moxley Sorrel
In the aftermath of December 1862's bloody Battle of Fredericksburg, in the midst of the tending of the wounded and removal of the dead, there were some surprising flashes of cordiality between the enemy camps. General G. Moxley Sorrel, Longstreet's Chief of Staff, gives a very human side to the war in his recollections.
The old wines of the good people of Fredericksburg have been referred to. They suffered in the fortunes of war. A few nights before the opening of the battle, which was then imminent, considerable quantities of fine old Madeira and other varieties were taken out of cellars and bins, and sent by the citizens to our fellows in camp, equally ready for drink or for battle. It was known that the town would be shelled and occupied by the Federals, probably looted and plundered; therefore it was thought safest to see priceless old vintages passed around campfires and quaffed in gulps from tincups. Of course the men would have better liked whiskey, but they did not refuse the wine.
Since the body of water known as the Rappahannock River separated two important areas of commerce and trade, it had, of course, to be crossed constantly. The Indians had their canoes and the early settlers had their boats and ferries. The first bridge was built about 1800 and was referred to as Scott's Bridge.
Archaeologist Roy Butler explores the historical significance of this early street, believed to have been named for Sophia Dorothea, sister of George II and mother of Frederick the Great of Prussia.
When we think of Fredericksburg history as it relates to Sophia Street, we immediately bring to mind a few specific remaining structures and sites as we see them today: The Toll House at the foot of Rocky Lane; the present Half Way house at Wolfe and Sophia Streets, once an early tavern. The Center for the Creative Arts, referred to as the Silversmith's House; and the Sandstone Warehouse at the bridge at Sophia and William Streets.

Answers in Genesis's Creation Museum continues to spark controversy. Noting that the Northern Kentucky Convention and Visitors Bureau's website describes [Link broken] the museum as aiming to "counter evolutionary natural history museums that turn countless minds against Christ and Scripture," Daniel Phelps, the president of the Kentucky Paleontological Society, protested the inflammatory description. His protests were ignored by the agency until the story was broken in the media.
Writing in The Smart Set -- a new independent on-line magazine supported by Drexel University and named for the literary magazine that flourished in the 1920s -- Jesse Smith relates his trip to Answers in Genesis's Creation Museum.
The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology expressed its concern about the misrepresentation of science in Answers in Genesis's creation "museum" in a press release issued on July 17, 2007. "The Creation Museum's fossil exhibitions, though artistically impressive, include a vast number of scientific errors, large and small," the SVP explained.
In the wake of the opening of its creation "museum" in northern Kentucky, Answers in Genesis is in the news again, due to a lawsuit filed against the young-earth creationist ministry in the Supreme Court of Queensland, Australia, by a rival ministry. The lawsuit is ultimately due to the acrimonious schism of AiG in 2005, due to differences between the Australian branch, headed by Carl Wieland, and the United States branch, headed by Ken Ham, over the structure and management of the organization.
The young-earth creationist ministry Answers in Genesis opened the doors of its lavish creation museum in northern Kentucky during the Memorial Day weekend. Here is a sampling of memorable quotes from the press coverage:
"Taking the Bible seriously doesn't mean you have to take it literally or reject evolution."
-- Mendle Adams, pastor of St.
With the young-earth creationist ministry Answers in Genesis scheduled to open its lavish creation museum in northern Kentucky over the Memorial Day weekend, there is a great deal of concern among the scientific and educational communities in the adjacent states about its impact on the public understanding of evolution. NCSE executive director Eugenie C. Scott told ABC's Good Morning America (May 25, 2007) that her fear is that students will "show up in classrooms and say, 'Gee, Mrs.
The Kentucky Academy of Science expressed its opposition to "attempts to equate 'scientific creationism' or 'intelligent design' with evolution as a scientific explanation of events" in a press release (see page 6) dated December 22, 2005. "Teaching faith-based models implies that these views are equivalent alternatives among scientists.

Korea ABS-CBN News Posted at Aug 10 2012 07:48 PM | Updated as of Aug 11 2012 03:48 AM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine pavilion at the Expo 2012 in Yeosu, South Korea recently bagged the Best Exhibit award given by Exhibitor magazine. The Expo opened last May with the theme "The Living Ocean and Coast: Diversity of Resources and Sustainable Activities." The country's pavilion, designed by the young creatives of U26 Design Studio, focused on the country's diverse marine destinations and its commitment to conservation initiatives. "The direction given by DOT (Department of Tourism) was to create a pavilion that would highlight the Philippines as the center of the world's marine biodiversity and that we are an exciting destination for eco-friendly adventures," said lead designer Stephanie Sy. "DOT Secretary Ramon Jimenez Jr. said in particular that he wanted us to portray a modern Philippines to reshape and update the traditional perception of the country. We took inspiration from the butanding which is the most successful eco-tourism story in the Philippines," she added. The main entrance to the Philippine pavilion features a dramatic representation of the butanding's silvery spots, while inside the exhibit hall is a multi-sensory experience highlighting the country's marine ecosystems.

Bresnan to Jayawardene, FOUR, top start that from Bresnan, shoved down the leg side, Jayawardene clips it easily and firmly away for four down to deep square
Bresnan to Jayawardene, no run, this one is outside off stump, and left alone
Bresnan to Jayawardene, 1 run, much better from Bresnan, back on to a line and length, Jayawardene pops forward and defends before stealing a quick single
Bresnan to Jayasuriya, no run, Jayasuriya keeps his first ball out easily enough, it was full and he jabs a bat down on it
Bresnan to Jayasuriya, 1 wide, Bresnan loses his line a fraction here, perhaps a touch of nerves telling, aimed down the leg side and left alone
Bresnan to Jayasuriya, no run, Bresnan back on line here, not much Jayasuriya can do, just stays in his crease and defends
Bresnan to Jayasuriya, 1 run, nicely played, simple, angles a back-of-a-length delivery into midwicket for an easy single
Bresnan to Jayawardene, 2 runs, oooh, almost the big scalp there for England. Pitched up from Bresnan and flayed without any timing, looping over the covers
Bresnan to Jayawardene, 1 run, Bresnan straight away drags his length back a fraction, Jayawardene coolly dabs it into the off side for a quick single
Bresnan to Dilshan, FOUR, haha, this doesn't look very pretty but it's mighty effective. Regulation length ball, mauled through midwicket, not much timing, but well enough to reach the cow-corner boundary
Bresnan to Dilshan, 1 run, back of a length this time, Dilshan thought about another big slog but in the end guides it away calmly down to third man
Bresnan to Jayawardene, 1 run, nicely done from Jayawardene, gets forward and pushes into the off side for one
Bresnan to Dilshan, OUT, gone this time! Well, Dilshan was playing a shot a ball, and it has not come off. Short again, he tried to hook it off the front foot, but only managed a looping top edge, Wright hustled in from the deep square boundary and dived forward to take a smart catch
TM Dilshan c Wright b Bresnan 9 (7m 8b 2x4 0x6) SR: 112.50
Bresnan to Sangakkara, FOUR, lovely shot from the captain, too short and too wide from Bresnan, Sangakkara languidly cuts it through point for four
Bresnan to Sangakkara, no run, much better line and length here, Sangakkara gets back and defends into the covers
Bresnan to Sangakkara, 1 run, touch too short and wide, Sangakkara opens the face and guides it down to third man for a single
Bresnan to Mathews, 1 run, Bresnan maintains his into-the-ribs approach, Mathews turns it into midwicket for a single
Bresnan to Sangakkara, 1 run, calmly played here, carefully pushed into a gap in the covers for a single
Bresnan to Mathews, 1 run, Mathews happy to work singles at the moment, this is arrowed a fraction too far down leg, and turned away for one down to deep square
Bresnan to Mathews, FOUR, very good this from Mathews, England have set four men on the leg side boundary, Bresnan lands another slower ball short one, Mathews skips inside the line and scythes past a diving point for four
Bresnan to Mathews, 2 runs, neatly played here, picked up the fuller ball well, and pushes it with soft hands straight of midwicket for a couple
Bresnan to Mathews, 1 wide, that will annoy Bresnan, gets this all wrong, short and miles down the leg side, bonus run for Sri Lanka
Bresnan to Mathews, 1 wide, oh dear, gets it wrong again, and England's super-discipline has momentarily lapsed, shoved down the leg side for another wide
Bresnan to Mathews, 2 runs, this is turning into a good over for Sri Lanka, shortish ball, Mathews nurdles it gently towards deep square leg, soft enough to collect a couple
Bresnan to Mathews, 1 wide, Bresnan has lost his line here, Mathews just moving around his crease enough to unsettle him, shoved down the leg side for another wide
Bresnan to Mathews, 2 runs, much better ball, full and straight, Mathews pushes it back down past the bowler, and collects a lung-busting couple
Bresnan to Mathews, 2 runs, very good from Mathews, he's played a lone hand here, fullish ball driven down the ground once more, timed well enough to collect a couple
Bresnan to Mathews, 2 runs, finally the over is done, and a very good over for Mathews and Sri Lanka, this is shorter and worked to deep square for a couple that brings up an excellent fifty
