Christmas Day racist attack in Andover pub toilets
4:49pm Saturday 29th December 2012 in News
POLICE are appealing for information after a man was attacked in the toilets of the Town Mills public house in Andover in the early hours of Christmas Day.
The victim, a 30-year-old man from Andover, was punched in the head and had racist comments targeted towards him by an unknown offender.
As a result of the incident the man needed treatment for cuts and bruises and was taken to Winchester hospital.
The suspect ran from the pub after the attack, which took place between 1.15am and 1.30am.
PC Ashley Whitlock from Andover police said: "Were you in the vicinity on Christmas Eve or in the early hours of Christmas Day?
"Did you witness a man running from the pub or did you witness the assault itself?"
Anyone who may have information should contact PC Whitlock on 101.

Simply petting a dog or a cat can lower your blood pressure. Stroking a snake works, too, one study found -- but probably only among people who own snakes! "Holding a pet triggers a relaxation response," explains Alan Beck, ScD, director of the Center for the Human-Animal Bond, at Purdue University. "It helps you stay focused on the present, as opposed to dwelling on the past or worrying about the future." And cuddling with furry friends can give you a chemical boost by releasing the feel-good brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine. Pet owners also tend to have lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels, according to a study published in the Medical Journal of Australia.

Lynchburg, VA - Residents of the Bentley Commons at Lynchburg are returning to the assisted living center, after a burst pipe forced them to evacuate Tuesday night.
The executive director says once they got the okay from a building inspector that the residences were safe, they began bussing residents back in around 3 p.m. Wednesday.
Most of the 120 elderly people displaced spent the night with friends and family.
For a small handful, however, a local church was their only option.
Bob Wollott came with the clothes on his back.
"I didn't bring my toothbrush. I didn't bring my razor. I didn't bring a comb," Wollott said.
Wollott and 22 other elderly residents spent the night in the sanctuary of Blue Ridge Community Church.
Fire officials say a pipe burst at the Bentley Commons Assisted Living Facility, leaving them with no water and no electricity.
"I had been to the doctor and when I came back there were two fire trucks in front of Bentley. It all happened while I was gone," Wollott said.
While crews worked to repair the leak, the elderly sat next to the homeless at a makeshift shelter, playing bocce ball and watching I Love Lucy re-runs.
The church's pastor says they're prepared to keep them as long as it takes.
"We're here as long as they need us. Now, some have been asking, 'what if they're here 'til Sunday?' Well, maybe church will look a little different. So that's okay, too. Who says we have to sit in rows and listen?" declared Executive Pastor Dave Kountz.
While the church opened its doors, members have been opening their hearts. There have been so many volunteers some have been turned away.
"After 15 years of going to Blue Ridge, I would say this is probably the mountain top," Volunteer Tom Davidson said.
"A friend of mine said, 'the strange thing is it shouldn't be newsworthy that a church is helping out.' And he's so correct," Kountz said.
"The people have been great. The facility is beautiful. I couldn't ask for more," Wollott said.
The city of Lynchburg loaned GLTC transit busses to help take the elderly to the church. The executive director says they hadn't requested them to bring them back here.
The plan is to take several trips using the complex's bus.

Feel free to borrow these arguments in the Google Bus CEQA appeal
Speaking of gun-running, how about that Google Bus?*
The $1/stop SFMTA deal to allow Google Buses to use city bus stops is being appealed to the Board of Supervisors, to be heard on tomorrow [Tues/1]. The $1/stop deal replaced the "handshake agreement" where the tech buses could do whatever they wanted while the SFMTA gazed vacantly into space, which is its forte.
The appeal is a technical invocation of the California Environmental Quality Act, aka CEQA, aka Chief CEQA, aka CEQABACCA. (Full disclosure: I am a consultant for SEIU Local 1021, one of the appellants, on something unrelated to this.) The appeal argues that in Mayor Ed Lee's heroic pre-emptive capitulation to the $1/stop deal (for the price of a third of a cup of single-origin estate-grown coffee on Valencia!), the Planning Department should have analyzed potential environmental impacts of the Google Buses, and considered alternatives and mitigations. The relevant authorities probably did not want to know the results of a review because data-driven analysis is not outside-the-box disruptive thinking that makes Frisco the World Capital of Innovation.**
Notably, nothing in the deliberations of the MTA or CEQA asked if there should be a bus program at all. Determining whether something is good or bad for the City is apparently beyond the scope of government. I don't understand it, but I'm not a lawyer. The big criticism of the buses is less the environmental one than the displacement and gentrification they cause. Round peg, meet square hole.
Fortunately, there are legitimate CEQA questions. The full Board of Supervisors will hear the appeal, and for the duration of public comment will transmogrify from a legislative body into a quasi-judicial body to decide the environmental claims. And the supervisors are totally qualified to rule on particulate levels caused by idling buses. Expect them to seek a compromise with science about how many people will get cancer because of the buses.
Since the appeal legally has to link any objections to the buses to environmental impacts, I have some suggestions of new CEQA arguments. The Supervisors should consider significant cumulative unmitigated impacts such as:
- Influx of toxic concentrations of assholes into affected neighborhoods.
- Pollution from all the new tinted window factories required to supply the buses.
- Soaring rates of testicular cancer related to all the Google Bus-related cases of the medical condition known as "Hot Laptop Nuts."
- Property destruction during riots in the streets after the last taqueria closes and is replaced by an adorable farm-to-table small plates restaurant.
- Urban blight and decay in Sunnyvale as tech people abandon Silicon Valley entirely, causing Sunnyvale to lose its coveted title "All-America City."
I also have two elegant project alternatives to $1/stop: The buses cause displacement on their routes because people riding them make a lot of money. Clearly, the solution is to cut their pay. We just need a maximum wage for tech people. Any income over the maximum would go directly to fund public goods like schools, transit, and healthcare. The program could be called "Wealthy San Francisco."
Alternatively, the City could use the buses as a positive tool, and move bus routes to areas that need and could support more economic development, like the Outer Sunset, Visitacion Valley, and Stockton.
Finally, I have a pilot program of my own to propose, in which we "accidentally" swap a Google Bus with an Immigration & Customs Enforcement Deportation Bus, delivering undocumented migrants to take charge of Silicon Valley and programmers to Northern Mexico. They can hackathon some apps for the Zetas Cartel.
Gentrification solved. Consensus built. You're welcome, San Francisco.
*"Google Bus" becoming the generic term for tech colonist commuter shuttles must be an epic migraine for the beleaguered lawyers in the Google Intellectual Property Legal Department. Talk about brand dilution.
**Admittedly, innovation involving a short list of things. Amazing innovation at inventing technology to enhance our capacity to spend money and/or waste time. Innovative ways to house the houseless or feed the hungry—not so much.

Health Department encourages HIV testing
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Health Department will be offering free HIV testing June 27 from 8-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. in support of National HIV Testing Day.

"People should be tested regularly for HIV if they are sexually active," said Ron Griffin, manager of the Communicable Disease Prevention and Public Health Preparedness Division. "Knowing your status is the key in preventing the spread of this disease."
In the first five months of 2006, Kansas City, Mo., has had 65 new cases of HIV reported. Of these new cases, 81 percent are males, 58 percent are males over the age of 30, and 55 percent are black.
"Our goal is for people to get tested. If they test positive for HIV, then we want to help them get treatment," said LaTanya Patton, assistant to the department director and manager of the HIV Services Section.
Free testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases routinely is available at the Health Department Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the STD clinic on a walk-in basis.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A year ago about this time, as I was leaving the world of newspapers for the world of television and Internet, someone asked me, "What can you do there that you couldn't do here?""There" referred to WDRB, where today Rick Bozich and I celebrated our first anniversary. "Here" referred to The Courier-Journal and the newspaper business in general.Honestly, when I made the move to WDRB, it wasn't a question I knew quite how to answer. I'd have been satisfied to be able to do the same things I'd been doing for the paper -- except maybe with the opportunity to write longer columns and to pursue a few more outside projects and a bit more writing outside of sports. I also was hoping to move forward without having to watch a building full of people go through the anxiety of yearly layoffs, or losing several weeks' pay each year to furloughs, or being asked to do more in the way of blogs and online content without receiving more pay.Those were the simple reasons behind what I did, and had I just been able to realize those things at my new media home, I'd have been happy.In fact, I've been able to do a great deal more.The simple matter of being able to write as many words as I want on a given subject (too many, in some cases, I'm sure, and too few, probably, in some others) has been one of the great gifts. Last week, when The New York Times wrote about a lawsuit Julie Hermann was involved in at the University of Louisville in 2010, I went back to my own archives of my blogs for the newspaper and found a lengthy piece I blogged about it. I remember, when looking at it, that I hadn't written a column on it for the paper because I couldn't do the various twists and turns of that case much justice in 600 words, and didn't even want to try. Maybe that's a shortcoming on my part.It no longer matters. Nor does deadline. I never could understand how, thirty years ago, newspapers could have deadlines that were as late as 2 a.m., when today you're lucky to go past midnight. When the University of Kentucky won the NCAA championship a year ago, it was an exercise in instant writing, as it always is with such late games. This year, when the University of Louisville won a championship, I reported until I felt there was nothing else to get, but only then sat down to write. It was the same when U of L won the Sugar Bowl. That day began with live appearances on the news beginning at 11:30 a.m. and continuing through the afternoon, then continued with the game and postgame TV, and kept on going beginning with the morning news at 5 a.m. and running for five hours. It wouldn't be my last experience with marathon journalism. Steve Andress and I logged 2,500 miles in a WDRB Ford Explorer while traveling back and forth between the men's and women's Final Fours in Atlanta and New Orleans. Moreover, we have explored storytelling over multiple platforms, such as when Pat Doney and I traveled to Miami to the home of Eli Rogers, to tell the story of he and Teddy Bridgewater leaning on each other in high school through the illnesses of their mothers.Newspapers are hitting video hard these days. Rick Bozich and I had already been hitting video hard for several years. We figured if things were trending toward video anyway, why not do the videos for a visual medium and take our writing in that direction? Consider this: Newspaper journalists are now having to be true double-threat people. They'll be conducting their postgame interviews while holding up a smartphone or webcam to capture video. I did it for years. It compromises your writing. With television, that video is being captured by professional videographers, camera operators or reporters, and I'm in the locker room focused on reporting and what I'm going to write, and what I'm going to say in our video stand-up after the game.That's not to say I'm not going to learn to shoot more video in the coming year. (Shoot, I got hazard pay when I shot Steve Andress for his stand-up recap on the court at Illinois after the Illini knocked off Indiana and their students stormed the court. You can usually tell when I shoot those, because the shot is slightly crooked, like what they used to do with the villains in the old Batman show.)Still, on the whole, one thing I've been able to do in television that I couldn't in newspapers is actually focus on the writing and reporting rather than worrying about capturing and posting video. I do that still, in some cases, but not as much.Rick and I did a webcast for years. And we still do one. But our webcast on Wednesday mornings for WDRB.com is done with an entire production team on a professional set and includes highlights and all the bells and whistles to complement what we're doing.Now, there's a whole list of things I've done in the past year that I probably wouldn't have otherwise. I'd lump all these in the "cool" category. I got to throw out the first pitch at a Louisville Bats game. I got to drive a decal-laden Camaro for a month during the NCAA Tournament. I played in WDRB's "Mascot Bowl" and got tackled by a giant Early Times mint julep mascot. I was on three billboards, which I wouldn't necessarily describe as "fun," but certainly was different. I've filled in as guest host of both The Early Birds and The Afternoon Underdogs on WKRD-790 AM. I'd never done that before. They tell me I'm a finalist for a Best of Louisville Award. That never happened before. (I will thank all of you who voted for me personally at the next family reunion.) When national news happened, if I felt I had something to say on the subject, I weighed in. And I was grateful when the local Society of Professional Journalists named me a finalist in their category for political commentary. Again, that never happened before.When the University of Louisville won a national championship in men's basketball, I went to management at WDRB about producing an E-Book of my coverage of the postseason. All were more than supportive, and assistant news director Jen Keeney put in so much time editing the book that I'd like to announce right here that I'm splitting all the proceeds of the free book with her. I hope she doesn't spend all of her zero dollars in one place. Seriously -- I published an E-Book collection of writing from the web produced for a television web site. How's that for an end-around on journalism as usual? I probably could have done that working for some other medium, but not for free, which I think was both a nice thing for fans, and for this site.And while on the subject of books, yesterday we shipped the manuscript for Rick Pitino's upcoming book, to be published in October by St. Martin's Press. I wouldn't have been allowed to undertake that project with the newspaper, and there's good reason for that. But as I got to thinking about where journalism is today, and noted that my parent company at the newspaper was forming business partnerships with the PGA and Major League Baseball and even the Kentucky Derby, all the while asking me to give up several weeks' pay a year through furloughs, it seemed to me that the template had changed. I've written a book with Pitino and my coverage of him -- and of everything else -- will be judged by that fact. I also have great respect for Dick Weiss, recently and ridiculously laid off by the New York Daily News. He also did a book with Pitino. Others have done books with other sports figures. I'm certainly open to doing them with other people if it seems like the right project. I'm aware of the pitfalls. But what Pitino wanted to do with his book, I thought made it a worthwhile project. As I sat with him and we discussed the more difficult times in his life -- both self-inflicted and some tragic and not of his making -- and the things he did to navigate through those times and emerge victorious on the other side, I was certain he was crafting a message, both practical and hopeful, that would be of use. The book just had a much happier ending than most people envisioned when the idea was floated a couple of years ago, because of this past season's NCAA championship. That wrinkle required some adjustments, but also made things more interesting. That's been a major effort in the past year and one that you'll hear more about as the drop date comes in a few months.I've always been fortunate to work with great people, and that's certainly the case at WDRB. But more than that, they are people who feel like they're working in a special place, and actually show up in a great mood about what's going on around them.I'm on a news staff that is expanding. The news staff has grown by at least 15 since I arrived a year ago. Later this month, WDRB will break ground on a major building expansion that will add office space and a new studio, which will allow us to crank out more sports programming for both the web and television. After Rick and I left the newspaper and joined WDRB one year ago today, New Orleans' CBS affiliate hired a pair of investigative reporters from the New Orleans Times-Picayune. A Pulitzer prize winner, Charlie LeDuff from the Detroit Free-Press, went to work for Fox's WJBK in Detroit. Caulton Tudor of the Raleigh News & Observer was laid off, then went straight to work in television in Raleigh. "If you are going to play by the rules your competitors set up, they are going to control your growth," WDRB president and general manager Bill Lamb is fond of saying.The leadership here remains aggressive, willing to try new things, and willing to expand when most (though not all) others are going the other direction.WDRB continues to build its web site, adding editorial voices, including Pulitzer prize winning columnist David Shribman, who wrote as nice a piece as we've had on our site in a while in this appreciation of World War II veterans who served in the U.S. Senate, and the legacy they have left on that body and the nation.As for me, I've viewed the past year more as an orientation than anything else. We will branch out even more in the next year, try some new things and try to do the old ones better. You'll see some major new wrinkles in mobile delivery of our sports coverage, adding to what already are the city's best apps for phones, iPads and other mobile devices. You'll see more live streaming of news conferences. And I might even squeeze in a vacation.I don't look much at TV ratings, but I like to check once in a while and see what the city is watching. Last night, June 4, 2013, of all the programming on all the channels, cable and broadcast, in the three prime-time hours between eight and eleven -- and that included one of the highest-rated shows on network television and a couple of network debuts -- the fifth most-watched prime time show in the Louisville market was the WDRB Sports segment of the WDRB News at 10, watched in nearly 45,000 local households. The late edition of ESPN's SportsCenter, which began at about the same time, totaled just over 4,000 households.Now, we're not bigger than SportsCenter (though in Louisville, we are). And we don't get that audience every night. And I can't take any credit for that viewership. Heck, Rick Bozich and I weren't even on the show. (I buried that low in this blog entry so the bosses wouldn't take note). But we're moving in the right direction. As I look back at one year after a move that not everyone understood, that's the overall theme. We're part of doing something new, moving in a positive direction, and having fun doing it. Thanks to everyone at WDRB who has helped that to be the case, and to everyone watching and reading. Copyright 2013 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.

Increase in homeless people on the rise
The number of people sleeping rough or living with the threat of homelessness has more than doubled in the south Lakes over the last year.
The local council had to intervene in more than 100 cases last year to save people from ending up on the streets and are now looking at new ways to cope with the growing problem.
Ryan Dollard reports.

Leeds-based catholic charity might close adoption services over ban on refusing same-sex couples
A Roman Catholic charity said it might close its adoption services after a tribunal ruled that it cannot refuse to help gay couples adopt. The charity says the regulations clash with Roman Catholic doctrine.
Catholic Care, the care agency for the Diocese of Leeds, has already been told by the Charity Commission it cannot opt out of equality laws that force it to offer adoption services to homosexuals.
It had asked the Charity Commission for permission to amend its constitution so it could lawfully decline the services to same-sex couples. But the commission refused and the charity unsuccessfully appealed against the decision made at a charity tribunal last year.
– Catholic Care
"Without the constitutional restriction for which it applied, Catholic Care will be forced to close its adoption service. In doing so, it will be joining many other faith-based adoption services that have been forced to close since 2008. The reason for this is that the services permitted by the current constitution are in conflict with the aims of the charity. It is Catholic Care's view that this will reduce the number of adoptive parents available and the number of children left waiting for adoptive parents will continue to increase."
– Mr Justice Sales
"The charity had failed to show that there were sufficiently weighty reasons to justify the discrimination it proposed to engage in. The fact that same-sex couples could seek to have access to adoption services offered elsewhere tended to reduce somewhat the immediate detrimental effect on them, but it did not remove the harm that would be caused to them through feeling that discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation was practised at some point in the adoption system."

Disclosure: Steph Daniels is a paid brand ambassador for Kountermove.
After more than a month since the last UFC event, it's high time I gave you guys something to smile about. UFC 154 is going to be gangbusters, if for no other reason than we have been in a drought. My wonderful friends at Kountermove are once again allowing me to give our readers another free tourney, with $100 up for grabs. Before I link you guys, I wanted to let you know that Kountermove is unveiling their brand new mobile app, so now you can monitor and play the games while on the go. Here's some info:
Players use a $25,000 artificial salary cap to draft 5 fighters from the card before each event begins. Eachfighter has a salary designated by Kountermove -- salaries range from $3,000 to $8,000. The winners are determined based on how the fight plays out rather than simply a fight's outcome (pick'em format). Kountermove calculates a fighter's fantasy score based on the number of strikes, takedowns, submissions, dominant positions, and rounds won. Scoring data from the fights flows into the site in near real-time, so players can monitor their teams as the event happens. The data used in calculating a fighter's score is provided by UFC's official stats provider, FightMetric.
The site was started with the idea that MMA in general must market "up and coming" fighters to become a truly mainstream sport. "There are many great fighters out there that no one knows about because so much of marketing in MMA is geared toward the top fighters" said Aaron Ard, a co-founder of Kountermove.com, "we wanted to create a game that would create interest and engagement in preliminary fights as well as the headliners." Statistics are bearing this out; over 85% of Kountermove players' teams have at least one fighter competing on the preliminary card. No Kountermove player has won a major tournament without a preliminary card fighter on their team.
Here's the link for the free, $100 tourney:
You can follow Kountermove via their Twitter account, @Kountermove
Disclaimer: Kountermove is not an advertiser on Bloody Elbow, nor are we being paid to advertise the contest. They offered to provide Bloody Elbow readers with the free tournament and are fully responsible for the contest and any associated prize payouts.

3.48/5 rDev -7%
From a 341 ml brown bottle. Pours out a clear nut brown with a tall, tight spongy off-white head that slowly settles.
Some toasty and caramel malt on the nose, with some faint dry leafy hops, yet the major character seems to be cardamom and ginger.
Toasty, nutty, caramel malt is up front and more prominent in the flavour, with an earthy sweet licorice taste popping up in the middle which hints at the presence of some anise as well. That sweet spiced character tends to dry out a bit towards the finish, offering an impression of anise and cardamom. There's dry woody notes that linger in the aftertaste along with the sweet spice from the finish.
Medium-bodied mouthfeel with a silky texture and mild carbonation.
An enjoyable Winter Warmer that really pushes some anise over the other typical spices used for the style. It's rare to have an adjunct that overshadows the sweetness of the malt itself (except for honey that is) however that seems to be the case with this one. I enjoy licorice so it works for me, and there may be a far more diverse spice bill that was used in this Winter Warmer, but the anise dominates it all on my palate. As a result it tends to get a bit one-dimensional after a while.

3.73/5 rDev -0.3%
341ml bottle, batch number 2 in Yukon's winter 2011 A.D.D. series. Again, they've kept with the humorous and informative cardboard tube presentation.
This beer pours a clear, dark bronzed amber colour, with two puffy fingers of dense frothy beige head, which sinks away at a very leisurely pace, leaving some random streaks of wavecrest lace around the glass.
It smells of zingy cinnamon, astringent, salty black licorice, wintergreen mint, some earthy nuttiness, and bready, biscuity malt. The taste is more restrained on the spice front - nice soft cinnamon and cardamon, some edgy, metallic anise, more flinty mint (ok, I just like saying that) - over a sedate, pale grainy, somewhat sourdough-like bready malt, all with a twist of bitter citrus rind.
The carbonation is quite mild, the body a fairly average medium weight, a bit on the thin side, and generally smooth. It finishes surprisingly clean - the malt and most of the spice all seemingly dropping back, leaving an ethereal void, punctured here and there by a bit of citrus and earthy warmth.
A decent winter warmer, with an ingredient list that skews from the norm, and a very shy malt sweetness, rendering it all a bit of a showcase for spice. I'd prefer it be a fair deal heavier, but I can appreciate the lighter drinkability of this one all the same.

A - clear rootbeer brown, thumb of head dissipated to a thin covering with some lacing
S - strong note of fresh mint, nutty malt with caramelized sugars
T - nutty and licorice malt quickly gives way to candy cane mint, a hint of earthy hops with the mint remaining spicy and cool throughout
M - medium body that starts slightly sticky but is quickly overtaken by the spicy cool feel of mint that tickles the throat, very unique
O - definitely a unique winter warmer with that candy mint flavour, looking forward to Yukon continuing to take chances with this series

S gingerbread comes to mind, there's some licorice, cinnamon, lemon zest, smells pretty good

M not as thick as I expected but not watery either, almost a little foamy with a spicy finish

A- Pours a generally clear brown, with red hues lingering about. The head is nice looking, starting out about a finger in thickness and is puffy/dense....it retains quite well over time too! There appears to be quite a bit of fine looking carbonation sticking to the glass on the inside and it rises rapidly to the top of the brew. Lacing isn't super impressive, as faint dollops of foam stick initially, and slink back into the head without much trouble. Overall, nothing to get excited over, but not offensive either.
S- There is a whole lot of spice happening here! Initially, it smells like a sweet hand crafted root beer, of course with an alcoholic kick, but then settles to allow a whole range of spice to permeate into the nasal cavity....everything from pumpkin, licorice, nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar, and on, is found here...and all with an underlying malt sweetness. The theme here though has everything to do with the spice!
T- Ahhh, this has a much more mellow flavor than the aroma lets on! The root beer aspect is present, with a distinct spicy sweetness that has the robustness of the malt to add to it. After a few sips, the palate gets used to everything going on and a drier Earthy character emerges, leaving me with hints of ginger and other assorted robust root essence. This is quite tasty I have to say!
M- The carbonation, while plentiful, is smooth and fine, allowing the flavor to burst evenly over the palate. The body leans towards medium, but it is fairly light in general. This is quite enjoyable in the idea that I feel as though I'm enjoying a freshly baked holiday dessert or something!
O- Overall, I feel that this is a well spiced, well balanced beer. It's flavorful with many different spices to be tasted, yet is clean after the swallow. The alcohol, while noticeable on the aroma, is hidden well on the palate, yet at the same time warms the soul! I recommend anybody to give this a try and I'll definitely look for this one again before it goes MIA for the summer months!

This is the second bottle to Yukon's Brewers ADD Series.
Appearance- Dark copper red with a very thin white head. Nice clarity and bubbles are present.
Smell- Cinnamon and nutmeg with orange peel and licorice aromas. It also has a woody character to it.
Taste- The spices are the predominant flavour with a hint of the orange peel. It is not as sweet as the smell gives off which makes this pleasant.
Mouthfeel- Nice carbonation and tingles of the bubbles. Quite smooth and refreshing for this medium bodied winter ale.
Overall- A nice entry from Yukon Brewing in this category. It contrasts from other winter ales by being less sweet and avoiding the flavours of vanilla and toffee. Very refreshing!

Racing pundit says tribunal ruling 'an historic setback'
John McCririck loses age discrimination case against Channel 4
John McCririck loses age discrimination case against Channel 4
Racing pundit John McCririck was dumped by Channel 4 because he was "alienating" and "offensive", an employment tribunal heard.
On the first day of his employment tribunal, racing pundit John McCririck insisted he was a victim of age discrimination and is not sexist.
John McCririck loses age discrimination case against Channel 4Read the full story
The wife of John McCririck has told ITV News that he has taken an employment tribunal's decision that he wasn't sacked because of his age "quite badly" and he is "quite upset."
Jenny McCririck said the racing pundit thought he would win the case against Channel 4 and "couldn't believe" he had lost.
She said it was unlikely they would appeal the tribunal's decision which she described as "disappointing".
And she rejected claims in the judgement that it was her husband's pantomime persona that was 'unpalatable' to programme makers not his age.
In a statement Channel 4 welcomed the ruling and said it was disappointed the claim had been brought to court.
Channel 4 today welcomed an Employment Tribunal's decision to throw out a claim of age discrimination brought by former Racing presenter John McCririck.
– Channel 4
We welcome the unanimous verdict of the tribunal that John McCririck's claim fails and that Channel 4 did not discriminate on the basis of age.
We are grateful to John for his contribution towards Channel 4's racing coverage over many years but disappointed that he decided to bring this claim.
The employment tribunal which today dismissed John McCririck's claim of age discrimination against Channel 4 has published its judgment in full.
It says the racing pundit's persona and opinions were out of keeping with the new programme:
– Tribunals Judiciary
Mr McCririck was dismissed because of his persona...his style of dress, attitudes, opinions and tic tac gestures were not in keeping with the new aims and his opinions seen as arrogant and confrontational.
In its judgement, the Employment Tribunal blamed Mr McCririck's on-screen persona for his demise.
All the evidence is that Mr McCririck's pantomime persona, as demonstrated on the celebrity television appearances, and his persona when appearing on Channel 4 Racing, together with his self-described bigoted and male chauvinist views were clearly unpalatable to a wider potential audience.
The tribunal is satisfied that the respondent had the legitimate aim of attracting a wider audience to horseracing.
Racing pundit John McCririck has given his reaction to losing his age discrimination case against Channel 4 today.
This is an historic setback for all employees in their 30s to their 70s.
After such a landmark judicial verdict, my failed legal action ensures that anonymous suits and skirts, who control the media, numerous other businesses and the public sector, will now enjoy complete freedom to replace older employees whatever their unimpaired ability and merit.
I have let them all down along with my wife, the Booby, my legal team, friends, colleagues and countless members of the public who supported me throughout. My grateful thanks and apologies to every one of them.
Former Labour home secretary David Blunkett MP said in August: 'The way TV executives worship the cult of youth seems to be an unstoppable fetish'.
It is now.
Racing pundit John McCririck has lost his age discrimination employment tribunal case against Channel 4, he said today.
Racing pundit John McCririck was dumped by Channel 4 because he was "alienating" and "offensive", an employment tribunal heard.Read the full story
Flamboyant racing pundit John McCririck was dumped from a high-profile role on Channel 4 because he was "alienating" and "very offensive", an employment tribunal has been told.
Jay Hunt, Channel 4's chief creative officer, said a talent tracker study on how he went down with audiences was "one of the worst pieces of research I have ever seen regarding a presenter".
McCririck, 73, who was dropped from Channel 4's revamped on-screen line-up, is accusing his former employers of age discrimination.
Ms Hunt said the audience research on him was "one of the most dispiriting" documents she had seen.
John McCririck has described the ongoing employment tribunal over his dismissal as Channel 4's horse racing pundit as a "daunting ordeal" and admitted he faced a "tough battle" to win the case.

After a far-t00-long hiatus, Melle & Andrew and I made it to a Perimeter lecture. This month's was "The Science of Galaxy Zoo" with Chris Lintott, Oxford. It was teh awesome!
Lintott is most definitely a practical physicist. Lintott is one of c o-authors of Bang: The Complete History of the Universe, along with Patrick Moore and Brian May (\m/) of Queen fame. But at the lecture, he was here to talk about the Galaxy Zoo.
What is it? Basically, with all of the telescopes taking pictures out there, we ended up with about 1 MILLION galaxy picture that hadn't been catalogued. And the average physics student could do only several thousand, and the average physics prof would spend a lifetime studying about 100 of them. So they went to the rabble.
The Galaxy Zoo is a fun game where anyone who passes the test can get in there and classify galaxies – it's like a cool video game but with spirals and discs! They calculated that it might take 5 years for the public to get through the pictures – but thanks to a fortuitous mention on the Beeb, it took about 3 weeks to get most of them done :) And in the new version, you can also classify supernovae.
Lintott has an irreverent attitude toward all things stodgy, but more importantly, he also has a populist view toward science. Because just like we have a gazillion pictures of galaxies that haven't been viewed by humans, there are the supernovae and will be other scientific data from the oceans, from the deserts, from… and Lintott believes we'll see more of this populist integration into scientific research. Other than the fact that this means geeks and grandmas the world over will get repetitive stress injuries in their contributions to science, it is a pretty awesome concept.
The humans can carry the heavy load on sorting, and then if something interesting comes up, an alert can go to the geeks at the telescopes for follow-up and if it's interestinger, one guy will call another guy who will just happen to take a picture of the galaxy in question… or maybe get Hubble pointed at that baby. It's the integration of the human perspective and the automated and powerful talents of the computers that will really propel the science forward.
No worries that the computers will ever overtake what humans can do. Lintott says one of the joys of zoos is that public observers have been able to uncover some interesting anomalies. Case in point: The Zoo project got an email from Hanny, a schoolteacher in the Netherlands, reporting on something called Hanny's Voorwerp – a gaseous cloud near a galaxy that looks like, well, a cosmic frog:
She wanted to know what the hell the cosmic green from was, and so did the physicists. She got Hubble time, man. It was only after they had published in the journals that the physicists figured out that Voorwerp roughly translates to "thingy", but it's official now: http://www.hannysvoorwerp.com/
We were totally waiting for Lintott to comment on Hubble taking a look at Hanny's thingy, but he didn't go there. At least in public.
I'm off to classify me some galaxies. You should too.

Millersville and Shippensburg Universities are jointly offering a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree program. It is designed for students who want to either further their education in social work or join the social work profession. The program was developed to support both the full-time student and the working professional. State-of-the-art technology permits students to acquire social work knowledge, skills, and values through multiple educational methods, including traditional campus classes, teleconferencing and web-based activities. Because this is a joint program, students benefit from the quality faculty and resources of both universities.
An Advanced Generalist MSW permits graduates to work in a variety of human service programs and agencies in an advanced clinical and/or administrative capacity. The flexibility of the social work degree provides graduates with many options as they pursue their careers in the helping fields.
The mission of the joint MU-SU MSW Program is to prepare students to be effective advanced generalist practitioners who demonstrate commitment to the principles and values of the social work profession.
The advanced generalist approach to direct and indirect practice is characterized by the practitioner's ability to address complex situations within multiple roles and levels. This strengths-based orientation is grounded in a liberal arts foundation and guided by a systems approach incorporating core social work values and ethics and respect for diversity. Using research-informed practice, the advanced generalist social worker promotes positive change in the social, political, and economic arenas to alleviate suffering and advance human rights.
The program offers both full-time and part-time enrollment tracks for the regular and advanced standing programs. Applicants are encouraged to select their enrollment track in their MSW Track Selection Form. However, the final decision is made by the MSW Admissions Committee upon review of application documentation.
The MSW Regular Program requires a total of 60 credits for graduation, including: 15 credit hours of field practicum, 6 credit hours of electives, and 39 credit hours of required coursework. A full-time student can complete the program in two calendar years, starting in summer. Field practicum courses require 400 hours in the foundation year and 500 hours in the concentration year.
A part-time student can complete the program in four calendar years, starting in summer. There are two field practicum courses requiring 400 hours in the second year and 500 hours in the fourth year.
Students will be considered for the Advanced Standing program if they have a baccalaureate degree in the last eight (8) years from a Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) accredited social work program with an overall GPA of 3.0 and a major GPA of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
Students who meet the requirements for advanced standing (AS) admission in the program will complete 36 credit hours for graduation, including 9 credit hours of field practicum, 9 credit hours of electives, and 18 credit hours of required coursework. This includes SWK/SOWK 601 - Integrative Seminar to assist the BSW graduate to prepare for the concentration year curriculum.
A full-time student can complete the Advanced Standing Program in one calendar year, starting in summer. This includes a total of 500 hours of field practicum in the fall and spring semesters. Students will go through the program as a cohort. A part-time student can complete the advanced standing program in two calendar years, starting in summer. The student will complete 500 hours of field practicum during the second year. Students will go through the program as a cohort.
Applicants must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale from a regionally accredited undergraduate institution. If a student has attended more than one undergraduate institution, all undergraduate GPAs will be used in the calculation of the overall GPA. To calculate your GPA, please click here.
In exceptional cases, applicants who lack the required grade point average, but whose other qualifications are outstanding, may be admitted on a provisional basis. Applicants admitted provisionally must earn a 3.0 grade point average by the end of the first 12 credits.
Applicants, whose GPA falls below the minimum standard of 2.8, must provide documentation that they have taken either the Millers Analogies Test (MAT) or the Graduate Record Exam (GRE-General). Scores should not be more than five years old at the time of the application. The MAT is given at Shippensburg University and more information can be found on the Graduate Admissions webpage.
Students must demonstrate that they have successfully completed coursework with substantial content in each of the following areas: Human Biology, Economics, Government/Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Statistics. Applicants can be admitted with up to two course deficiencies. These course deficiencies must be completed by the end of the foundation year or within the first 12 credits of Advanced Standing. The course deficiencies may be completed by enrolling in undergraduate classes in Shippensburg University or another institution of higher education. Another alternative for some areas are the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Applicants must complete and return the Liberal Arts form.
Students who apply for the Advanced Standing program need to submit the appropriate advanced standing recommendation form from their BSW program direction indicating their readiness for graduate education in social work.
Students who graduated with a baccalaureate degree from a CSWE - accredited social work program may be eligible to receive credit for those first-year foundation course equivalents for which they earned a B or higher within the past eight years.
Waiver of Courses
All students may apply for waivers from courses when they have already demonstrated proficiency in the course content with a grade of B or higher. When requesting consideration for a waiver, a student must submit a Request for Waiver Form and the course syllabus to the program co-director. A waiver will not reduce the number of required credits for graduation but will allow a student to take a more advanced or an elective course.
This program does not grant academic credit for life or work experience.
Applicants must evidence a combination of personal qualities and values that are considered essential for the professional practice of social work. The following documents are required to serve as evidence of this purpose:
The program may also request a personal interview or additional information about an applicant when necessary to make a fully informed admission decision.
Persons who have criminal records are not eligible to work in many human service fields. Applicants with criminal records should contact the MSW program director for additional information.
Students will be admitted into the 36-credit Advanced Standing Program and the 60-credit Regular Program during the summer term only. This term begins in mid-May. Applications are accepted beginning in the fall semester. Admission review of completed applications typically begins in January. Applications will be accepted until March 31 or until the program is full.
Students may transfer a total of nine (9) credit hours. All nine may be from another MSW program, or up to six (6) credits may be from a related field. Graduate credit earned more than five years priror to the date you begin your graduate program does not qualify for transfer. Students may only transfer credits from other accredited schools provided they are in good standing at those institutions. Courses must be listed on an official transcript with a B or higher. Courses transfering must be approved by the program. Condensed one-week gradaute courses do not qualify for transfer.
Candidates may choose to apply through either Millersville or Shippensburg University.

Applicants desiring admission to a specific campus may also be placed on a waiting list if all seats are full. Once enrolled at a campus students take all required courses through that campus. No travel between campuses is required by students.
The joint MU-SU MSW program was designed in accordance with the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) accreditation guidelines. At the February 2010 meeting of the Commission on Accreditation of CSWE the MU-SU MSW program was granted full accreditation. It is retroactive to include the students who entered the program since it began in the Fall 2006.

My 2 cents: same time next year, 6D will be on Ebay for $1200 or less.
$1200 seems pretty optimistic, I'd expect something closer to $1500.
Not optimistic at all...in fact, 12 months after release I fully expect 6D to be about $1200, and perhaps even $1100. Read the tea leaves with 5D III price trajectory.

I really enjoyed this recipe. Definitely said no to the raisins!
Reviewed Jan. 1, 2010
I, too, leave out the raisins most of the time. Although I like the contrast they provide, some members of my family do not. No matter, it's still very tasty without them.
Reviewed Sep. 23, 2009
This is a wonderful recipe. The olives add just the right touch. I had to admit to not always include the raisins. We don't miss it.
