This is the home of more championships by a
university in any single sport. This is the University of
Wrestling. This is Oklahoma State.
OSU finished the tournament with six
All-Americans, the most of any school in the tournament. The Cowboys
and Minnesota both
crowned two champions.
"There is no question that with all that has happened this year
and with all the questions about who would win it, that in the end
we basically dominated," head coach John Smith said. "That is what
we hoped for all year, that is what we are capable of doing and we
did it."
Johny Hendricks successfully defended his title at 165 winning a
thriller, 9-8, over previously undefeated and top-seeded Ryan
Churella of Michigan.
Hendricks was leading 4-3 in the second period when Churella got him
in a cradle for a takedown and two near fall points at the buzzer to
go up 7-4. Hendricks escaped and took Churella down on the edge of
the mat with 30 seconds left to tie it up. Hendricks decided to go
for the win by cutting Churella and with time running out; Hendricks
scored a takedown with three seconds left to a chorus of cheers and
boos at the Ford
"As soon as I grabbed his foot, I looked up and thought I had
two," Hendricks said after his match. "I looked up and saw three
seconds left and I went to the crowd after that. I knew it was over
because I know I am strong enough to hold on to his ankle for three
Jake Rosholt was never threatened in the finals at 197 against
Penn State's
Phil Davis. Rosholt recorded a takedown and took
Davis to his back for three near fall points
to go up 5-0. Rosholt coasted from there and went on to defeat
Davis, 10-3, for his third individual title.
Rosholt is just the 15th three-time national champion in
school history and 10th four-time All-American.
Steve Mocco had a typical match with rival Cole Konrad of
Minnesota. The match went into a second
tiebreaker where Mocco held a slim one second advantage. Konrad
quickly turned it around when he rode Mocco for the full 30 seconds.
Konrad escaped holding the lead and riding time forcing Mocco to go
for a takedown. He tried a shot but Konrad countered for the
takedown and went onto win 5-2.
Mocco is the first Cowboy to lose in the finals over the last two
tournaments. OSU has gone 7-for-8 in the finals of the last two NCAA
Zack Esposito came back to finish third after losing in the
semifinals. Esposito defeated Michigan's
Eric Tannenbaum by a major decision before defeating
Oklahoma's Matt Storniolo in the third-place
match. Esposito won four of his six matches by bonus points to aid
OSU's championship run.
Coleman Scott took fifth to earn All-America honors for the
second time in his career. Scott lost to top-seeded Nick Simmons of
Michigan State,
7-4, but he came back in a big way pinning Cal Poly's eighth-seeded
Chad Mendes in 58 seconds. Scott had a remarkable tournament coming
back through the consolation bracket with three falls and a
technical fall after losing his first match.
It was a disappointing finish for sophomore Nathan Morgan. Morgan
suffered two losses to finish sixth after he lost in the semifinals
on Friday night. Morgan earned All-America honors for the first time
in his career.
won four consecutive titles for the first time since 1946. OSU won
four in a row from 1940-46, no championship was held from 1943-45
due to World War II.
The championships is the 33rd NCAA wrestling title for the
Cowboys and their first three-peat since Art Griffith led Oklahoma
A&M to three straight titles from 1954-56.
Oklahoma State tied an NCAA record by crowning five individual
champions. Iowa did it twice with the last time coming during the
1997 championships.
Michigan finished in second-place with 83 points. The 70 point
margin also set a school record for largest winning margin and is
the second highest margin of victory in NCAA history.
"This team gave the extra effort in every way," head coach John
Smith said. "In every tough-tough situation, we excelled. I can name
a number of situations throughout this tournament that made the
difference for us putting the points that we put up, putting five
guys in the finals and winning five championships."
"We had our very best performance of the season at the Big 12 and
NCAA Championships. As a team and as a unit, there is no question
that our best effort came at the end."
Zack Esposito was the first wrestler to take the mat for the
Cowboys in the finals against Army's second-seeded Phillip Simpson.
Esposito recorded the first takedown of the match to take the early
lead. Esposito added a reversal early in the third period and won
his first national championship with a 5-2 victory over Simpson.
"I knew he was good on top," Esposito said. "I knew when I went
underneath I would have to have a spark plug to get out from under
"I am hurting right now, but it is all worth it. It is a great
Johny Hendricks renewed his rivalry with fourth-seeded Mark Perry
of Iowa. Hendricks won the first two meetings in tight matches that
were not decided until the final buzzer sounded. This match was
similar to the first two matches. Hendricks got a takedown in the
first period and rode Perry for the next three minutes after Perry
chose down. Hendricks all but sealed the match with a reversal late
in the third period, and beat Perry for the third time this year
with a 5-2 decision.
"I knew it was going to be exactly what it felt like," sophomore Johny Hendricks said after winning his first national title.
actually win this one, it surpasses all of them. Each time you get
up there it feels like the first time
Chris Pendleton has had a decided edge against Missouri's Ben Askren the last two years. Pendleton has won seven of the eight
meetings, and this one was no different than any of the other
meetings this season. Pendleton got the first takedown and stayed
after Askren throughout the match. Pendleton defended his title with
a 10-5 decision over Askren.
Jake Rosholt met Northern Iowa's Sean Stender who was riding high
after upsetting Lehigh's Jon Trenge in the semifinals. Stender
recorded the first takedown of the match, just like the previous
meeting in Cedar Falls. Rosholt quickly turned it around getting an
escape and a takedown to take the lead. Stender got a takedown with
30 seconds remaining to tie the match, but Rosholt escaped with 13
seconds left and won OSU's fourth title by beating Stender 5-4.
Steve Mocco and Minnesota's Cole Konrad have been the two best
heavyweights all season. Mocco won the previous two matches against
Konrad in overtime. This match went into overtime just like the
previous two did. Mocco tried a foot sweep early in the sudden
victory period and caught Konrad with it to take him down for the
The five championships sets a new school record for Oklahoma
State. The Cowboys had totaled four titles on six occasions with the
last time coming in 1942.
Freshmen Coleman Scott and Daniel Frishkorn both placed in their
first national tournament. Scott finished in eighth-place at 125
after losing to Minnesota's Bobbe Lowe in the seventh-place match.
Frishkorn finished in fourth-place after losing to Lehigh's Cory
Cooperman in the third-place match.
The Cowboys scored 123.5 points, 41.5 points ahead of runner-up
Iowa (82 points). Lehigh and Ohio State each recorded 77.5 points
for a tied for third, while Nebraska rounded out the top five with
73.5 points.
Chris Pendleton captured the team's lone individual title with
his 11-4 decision over Ben Askren of Missouri. Pendleton struck
first scoring off a low single, and then put Askren on his back for
two. After an Askren escape, Pendleton then recorded another
takedown to take a 6-1 lead heading into the second period.
The Lemoore, Calif., native recorded the only points in the
second with an escape, but extended his lead with a takedown in the
third period. Askren then reversed Pendleton to cut his lead, but
couldn't hang on as Pendleton went on to win his first national
Zack Esposito notched a second-place finish after dropping a 9-3
decision to Harvard's Jesse Jantzen. Esposito fell behind early
after Jantzen notched a takedown and a trio of back points. He could
never get going as Jantzen built up loads of riding time and took
any offense out of Esposito.
Tyrone Lewis dropped a tough 5-2 decision to Lehigh's Troy
Letters. Letters recorded a takedown and a pair of back points and
that is all the he needed as he held off a fury of attempts by
In the consolation semifinals, Johnny Thompson battled Travis Lee
in a high scoring affair. Lee struck first with a takedown but
Thompson then scored an escape. Thompson tied the score with an
escape to open the second, and then pulled out the "snake" to record
a trio of back points and a takedown.
The Oklahoma City, Okla., native took a 7-3 lead into the third
period only to see Lee cut the lead to one with an escape and
takedown. After Lee cut Thompson, a flurry began and the Cowboy came
out on top with a takedown. But Lee quickly scored a reversal to
make the score 10-8. But that is as close as he would come as
Thompson held on to record the victory. With the win, he advanced to
the third-place match.
After advancing to the third-place match, Thompson scored a pair
of takedowns en route to a 6-3 decision over Cal Poly's Darrell
Vasquez. With the win, Thompson ended his career at OSU as a
four-time All-American, placing second, first, first and third.
Jake Rosholt advanced to the third-place match with his 5-3 win
over Illinois' Bryan Glynn. Rosholt scored a pair of takedowns in
the first period, and that was all that he needed as he went on to
earn the victory. In his third-place match, Rosholt scored a pair of
takedowns in the first period and held off a fighting Paul Bradley
(Iowa) to seal the victory, 6-5.
Johny Hendricks lost a close battle to Illinois' Alex Tirapelle,
4-1. Tirapelle recorded the only takedown of the match early in the
first period and then built up riding time to secure the riding time
point. Hendricks dropped down to the fifth-place match where he
faced Iowa State's Travis Paulson.
In that match, Hendricks scored a pair of takedowns in the first
period to take a 4-2 lead heading into the second period. Paulson
was riding Hendricks for over a minute before Hendricks shook him
off, cradled him and then pinned him. In his first year in the
starting lineup, and as a redshirt freshman, Hendricks became an
Will Gruenwald ended his career as an All-American and placed
seventh this year. In his match against Scott Coleman of Iowa State,
he fell behind early 2-1 but came back in the second period, and
scored an escape and a takedown to capture the lead.
The Skiatook, Okla., native rode Coleman for well over a minute
in the third period to seal the victory with the riding time point.
OSU ended the season as NCAA Champions, Big 12 Champions and the
NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals Team Champions. The team crowned
seven All-Americans and an individual national champion.
The Cowboys won in convincing fashion with 143 team points.
Minnesota came in second with 104.5 points, while Oklahoma chipped
in 78 points to finish third. Rounding out the top fiver were Lehigh

decision. The Sand Point, Idaho, native recorded two takedowns in
the first period to take a 4-2 lead heading into the second frame.
Barker cut the lead to 4-3 with an escape to open the second, but
that would be the closest he would come.
Rosholt didn't let up in the third period as he record a trio of

The beer pours a nice golden color with a two finger fizzy white head that quickly fades to spotty lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a malt forward scent that boasts of pale and Munich malts. There is little hop character present and a noticeable malt sweetness. The taste is average. It has a smooth, Munich malt flavor; sweet and malty. It's devoid of any hop character and centers mostly on it's malt taste. The mouthfeel is decent as well. It is a medium bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is an easy drinking beer, but a boring pale ale. Where are the hops?

Appearance: 1/3 inch head, gold in color, clear, high carbonation
Smell: toasted malt and light citrus hops
Taste: earthy hops, caramel malt, and some meadow
Mouthfeel: high carbonation, light bodied, really sweet with a slightly bitter backbone
Overall: An OK pale ale that is definitely more on the malty side. I miss some of the hops that I normally get with this style. I could have several if offered to me, but would just as easily pass.

not as bad as i expected after seeing all those C scores...
sure, average appearance and nose...but the taste kicks up nicely with a biscuity malt presence, not overly sweet, small hop note...it's the mouthfeel that saves it, allows the rather mellow notes present their best. i can live without a great appearance or nose...that of course makes a beer stellar, but this counts where it basically counts. good taste and mouthfeel. i can't slam it but i don't think i'll buy it again when we live in an age of unlimited choices with limited funds and time on earth...

Alexander Keith's Nova Scotia Style Pale Ale
12 oz. bottle; code on neck label: 11096 BG86
$1.69 @ Total Wine & More, Claymont, DE
A: Clear, deep golden body beneath an average sized head of bright white. Head retention and lacing are average.
S: Grainy malt with a bit of sweetness and a touch of floral hops.
T: As the nose suggests, this is a fairly straightforward beer that balances its grainy and lightly sweet maltiness with a sprinkling of floral and grassy hops over a moderate bitterness. Some apple-like yeasty fruitiness is present as well. It finishes with a bit of residual malt sweetness that fades relatively quickly leaving a smattering of leafy and grassy hops behind.
M: Medium bodied with a gently crisp, moderate carbonation. Smooth.
Overall: Consumed ice-cold it shows a little more balance; as it warms it becomes a touch sweet. The malt character is nice, and the hops are pleasant. It's fairly basic, but also readily accessible, giving it a good bit of drinkability for the mid-flavor market.

I have to assume this beer is no way shape or form represents the pale ales of Nova Scotia. If it did, it implies the island has never heard of hops. For a cheap amber ale, the beer isn't bad - with only a hint of macro character. There's a basic caramel malt and bread crust taste and maybe, just maybe the slightest touch of earthy hops.

I see this is labeled as an American Pale Ale here on BA. Wasn't sure exactly what a Nova Scotia Style might imply, though a more British origin seemed likely. Poured into a pint glass from a 12 oz. bottle which bears reference to St. Louis, Mo. of all places. The pour is pretty clear with a touch of haze, and moderate to deep straw in color. A half inch of white cap offers some retention. Rather light in color and a but unassuming and with a light carbonation.
Aroma is all adjunct initially and smacks of a macro lager. It does open up pretty quickly, showing a largely neutral graininess. Touch of lemon and a caramel/berry flavor that seems a bit artificial. Hops are pleasant but quite light and of a citric design, as the fruity malt presence is more forward.
Flavor is light and somewhat thin up front with neutral grain/straw notes. This segues quickly to the odd caramel/berry that presented itself on the nose. This odd character does have a decent lingering presence yet is a bit too reminiscent of a wine cooler of yore. Body is thin and lager like but matches the design of the beer adequately. Overall an easy drinking and fruity Leinenkugel-esqe brew as for what I assume are additives/adjuncts/syrups. Not a bad experience but a bit tame in the bedroom.

(12oz bottle). Pours dark amber with tan head. Active carbonation. Aroma has caramel, milk chocolate covered berries, and some biscuit. Taste is sweet malt and little hop bitterness. Thin bodied with slick texture. Smooth finish. Not bad, but I think its too sweet to be sessionable.

Poured from a brwon 12 oz. bottle. Has a deep golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is a bit on the malty side. Taste is also malty, rather mild, for a pale ale the hops are really well hidden. Flavor is not offensive but somewhat boring. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle marked 11097-BG-05. Sampled on April 29, 2011. Even though Keith's is from Nova Scotia, the label on these new Keith's Nova Scotia Style brews says St. Louis, Missouri. It pours golden yellow with a thin head. The aroma is pretty average but I get a halfway decent mixture of thin malts and thin hops and a little corn but the gut reaction is that this smells crisp and clean. OK body. The taste also combines a thin but reasonably well-balanced combination of malts, hops, and bread. It is refreshing in its own way and unoffensive.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours a golden Color with litte head.
Smell is not impressive at all. Little citrus smell. Could have called this beer an ale. It does smell clean though.
Taste is ok. Again not any hop taste at all. Maybe i'm used to the ipa's but I am getting nothing. It is a refreshing ale though, nice and clean taste, finishing dry, maybe that's the hops. I found them.
Mouthfeel is light and crisp. Again maybe used to the bigger ipa's and can't enjoy this like it should be enjoyed but for me it is a session yard work beer.
Being from nova scotia but brewed in St.Louis. What's that a'boot

I had this on a recent visit to Toronto. Not my favorite of the trip but considering how easy it was to get not bad.
Appearance was a light pale, very active carbonation but not much head to speak of.
Aroma was very light. More malt than hops but not a whole lot of anything.
Flavor as well was not outstanding. Nothing wrong with it, just a bit on the unremarkable side.
Overall I like this better than Molson but not much more than most other things.

Clear amber colored ale with a small white colored head.
Smells mostly of wheat cracker malt. Hop is herbal and grassy to the nose. Smells clean just not real strong or complex.
Starts out malty and a little sweet with a faint bitter aftertaste. Not much flavor here just some malty and grassy hop.
Mouthfeel is OK.
Overall this is a dull ale. Doesn't taste bad, it mostly just doesn't taste.

A- Pours a golden yellow hue into a pint glass with a small white head. Cap fizzes out fairly quickly and leaves a very thin cloud atop the beer. No lace.
S- Faint aroma with a light malt presence. A tiny bit of hops and fruit as well.
T- Very light flavor, even for an APA. Mostly just sweet light caramel malt. Finishes out with a slight fruit flavor and a small amount of herbal, grassy hops.
MF- Creamy body with high carbonation. Light bitterness.
As far as flavor goes, this one is lighter even for an APA. Just a light malt sweetness throughout.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a light gold color, with a short off-white head that fades very quickly and leaves a very thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains light caramelized malts, some citrus and a touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out with mildly sweet flavors of apples, citrus and caramel followed by some breadiness from a thin malt character. The hops presence is very mild and brings a little bit of balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet.
M: Smooth and a little crisp, light-to-medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.
D: A little flavorful, goes down ok, not too filling, mild kick, not the best representation of style, there are definitely several other beers in the style worth drinking above this one.

This is my first beer from this brewery...
Pours out heavily carbonated, white frothy head of about two fingers thick and retains decently. Body is copper in color and cleanly filtered.
Smells very metallic, like the inside of a rusty tin can. There are some nuances of wet cardboard mixed in with freshly cut lawn grass.
The taste is buttery, a little toffee, and maybe a bit leathery too. This seems a bit more on the English Pale Ale side, than an APA.
Feels medium to light in body, a bit wetting to the palate, and that's about it.
I figured by its position in the grocery store, this beer is in the same league as maybe Beck's and St Pauly's. Not a drain pour, but not something I'd purchase again.

I was reading one of the other threads and there was a section where everyone was lamenting how much they can't stand Karen the whiner. And of course, that sentiment lives and breathes in me too.
So what to do to help purge this feeling that's ruining my day now. How about a little rant about something that bothers me, really bothers me in this regard.
I don't know what's happening in other parts of the country (enlighten me fellow Vike fans) but here in NY that stupid discount double check commercial where Karen stands in front of a school class is still running.
This annoys some of my friends a little, but that's because they're Giants and Jets fans.
That commercial however makes my blood boil. Really boil. Because, of course, I'm a Viking fan and hate the pukers...
Most of all it's because in the commercial he says, "I was MVP last year". No you weren't!! The MVP last year was:
so any ideas how to get that false advertising junk off the air? Should we start an email campaign to that insurance company to have Karen replaced with a real MVP? How sweet would that be? Sorry Mr. Rogers, we won't be needing your services anymore. We have a real MVP now, who also happens to be cyborg.
Sorry for the rant, I feel a bit better now.

Senior outside hitter Britney Hurst set the Tulane three-game kills record with 30 vs. UL-Lafayette.
Oct. 1, 2002
NEW ORLEANS, La. - Senior outside hitter Britney Hurst set a Tulane three-game kills record with 30 as the Green Wave volleyball team defeated UL-Lafayette in the first NCAA match ever played in the New Orleans Arena Tuesday evening at the ING/Louisiana Showcase.
Hurst, who hit .560 with just two errors in 50 attacks, eclipsed the former mark of 27 set by Kim Sentmore vs. Southern Miss on Oct. 22, 1999. With the 30-28, 30-28, 30-18 win, Tulane snaps a four-match skid to improve to 8-9 on the year. UL-Lafayette, meanwhile, falls to 6-10.
"Britney was a star today and our whole team rallied around her," head coach Betsy Becker said. "It takes a total team effort as always, but hitting a .560 is a significant accomplishment. I felt that, even though we had a few wrinkles throughout the course of the match, we stayed emotionally stable and that was the key to our success tonight."
Hurst was the only Tulane player to finish with double-digit kill totals, but the Green Wave got solid efforts from sophomore outside hitter Anastasia Kenon, who had seven kills, and junior middle blocker Kim Swafford, who tallied six. Hurst tallied her 10th double-double of the season with a match-high 19 digs, and junior libero Karlyn Daly was next with 13. Swafford tallied a match-best seven blocks, including two solo stuffs, as Tulane tallied 11 blocks as a team.
After getting off to a slow start, falling behind 5-1 in game one, the Green Wave were in control for most of the match. Down by four early, Tulane began chipping away and cut the lead to two on several occasions. Trailing 28-26, the Green Wave would go on a four-point run to take the stanza 30-28.
Tulane roared out of the gate in game two, holding a 5-0 advantage. But this time, it was UL-Lafayette's turn to come back. The Green Wave led by as many as seven at 10-3, but the Ragin' Cajuns would whittle away until they tied the game at 28-all. From there, though, Tulane was able to regroup and put UL-Lafayette away with a pair of kills to win 30-28.
Game three was a back-and-forth battle early on as the team battled to a 6-6 tie after 12 serves. From there, though, the Green Wave used a 6-3 rally to take a lead they would not relinquish. The Tulane lead increased throughout the contest, holding an eight-point lead at 20-12 and a 10-point advantage at 26-16 before cruising to a 30-18 victory.
Stacey Cole led UL-Lafayette with 12 kills, followed closely by Lesley Tough with 11 and Clarice Laires with 10. Cole also led the Ragin' Cajun defense with 16 digs, and Laires finished with 10.
The Green Wave return to action this weekend when they travel to the Lone Star State for a pair of Conference USA contests as Tulane battles Houston on Friday at 7 p.m. before taking on TCU on Saturday.

Paedophile's sentence review
A paedophile who was allowed to walk free after his 13-year-old victim was branded "predatory" is to have his sentence reviewed by the Court of Appeal.
Paedophile's sentence could be increased
A statement from the Attorney General's Office said:
Having carefully reviewed this case, the Attorney General, Dominic Grieve QC MP, has decided to refer the sentence of Neil Wilson to the Court of Appeal for review.
The case will in due course be heard by three Court of Appeal judges who will decide whether or not the sentence is unduly lenient and whether they should increase it.
Robert Colover has been suspended from prosecuting sexual offence cases pending a review by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), while Judge Peters' comments are to be investigated by the Office for Judicial Complaints.
As well as receiving a number of complaints, the CPS was confronted by a petition, which now has more than 50,000 signatures, demanding Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer investigate the language used by Mr Colover.
Appeal Court to review paedophile's sentenceby Lucy Manning - Former UK Editor
The Attorney General has referred the sentence handed down to Neil Wilson to the Court of Appeal as possibly unduly lenient.
It is the case where a 13-year-old victim was labelled 'predatory' by the prosecution.
Judge fails to apologise to victim in new hearingby Juliet Bremner - ITV News Correspondent
Judge who caused controversy by describing a 13-year-old victim as "predatory" fails to apologise as he increases paedophile's sentence.Read the full story
Paedophile's sentence increased for separate charges
Judge Peters has said that the increase to Neil Wilson's sentence is not to do with his activity with his 13-year-old victim, but to separate charges relating to images of child abuse found on his computer.
Speaking to Wilson who appeared via video link the judge said:
I have had the matter listed before me today as part of the sentence, not that part relating to sexual activity with a child, requires correcting.
It was not appreciated by the parties that I could not pass a community order with a supervision requirement for three years to run alongside a suspended sentence on the same indictment or indeed another indictment sentenced on the same occasion.
In amending the sentence I have sought to ensure that all parts of the order will be complied with by the defendant and that any breach will be brought before a court and consideration given to further penalty, including immediate imprisonment.
Paedophile's sentence increased
A paedophile who was given a suspended sentence after his 13-year-old victim was branded "predatory" by a prosecutor has had his sentence increased due to a technicality, but has still walked free from court.
Neil Wilson was given an eight-month suspended sentence after admitting engaging in sexual activity with the girl, as well as separate counts of making indecent images, at Snaresbrook Crown Court last week.
Making no reference to the storm surrounding the case during the 10-minute hearing, the judge altered Wilson's total sentence to 12 months imprisonment, suspended for two years, but kept the sentence for sexual activity with a child the same, at eight months suspended for two years.
Wilson still faces having his sentence reviewed after Attorney General Dominic Grieve agreed to examine the case.
Judge at centre of paedophile case refuses to apologiseby Juliet Bremner - ITV News Correspondent
The judge at the centre of the row over 13-year-old girl who was called "predatory" following sexual abuse has failed to apologise or explain his comments in Snaresbrook Crown Court.
Freed paedophile due to reappear in court
A convicted paedophile who walked free from court after his 13-year-old victim was branded "predatory" by a prosecutor is due back before a court today.
Neil Wilson, 41, received a suspended eight-month sentence at Snaresbrook Crown Court last Monday after he admitted engaging in sexual activity with the girl.
Prosecutor Robert Colover's labelling of the young victim as "predatory" and "sexually experienced" caused outrage and led to his suspension from prosecuting sexual offence cases pending a review by the Crown Prosecution Service
Judge Nigel Peters QC is also being investigated by the Office for Judicial Complaints over some of his comments.
Wilson will appear in court via videolink to deal with "an administrative matter" in relation to his sentence and which could be reviewed after Attorney General Dominic Grieve agreed to examine the case.
Barrister and Judge facing investigations
A prosecutor and a judge who used the word "predatory" to refer to a 13-year-old sex abuse victim are facing investigations.Read the full story
Paedophile prosecutor reported to Bar Standards Board
The Shadow Attorney General has written to the Chair of the Bar Standards Board to request an investigation to determine whether Robert Colover may have violated the Bar Standards Board's code of conduct.
Labour MP Emily Thornberry, who worked as a human rights barrister before she was elected, wrote:
I am writing to express my concern that barrister Robert Colover may have violated the Bar Standards Board's code of conduct when representing the Crown in the sentencing of Neil Wilson for sexual activity with a child on Monday 5th August 2013 at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
The Crown Prosecution Service has acknowledged that the language was "inappropriate".
I would go further than that and suggest that it has brought the profession into disrepute and could deter vulnerable victims from coming forward in future.
CPS review is 'victory in fight against victim blaming'
Reacting to the CPS investigation in to Robert Colover QC, Jo, who started an online petition called on the organisation to take action, said:
This is incredible news.
I am grateful that Keir Starmer has listened to us, and thankful for the people who signed and the media who have covered this so sensitively today.
This has been a real victory in the fight against victim blaming which results in so many sexual abuse cases going unreported and unpunished.
I hope it's the start of a real step change in how the legal establishment deals with these kinds of cases. Now I hope that the CPS agrees to meet with victims' groups so we can work together to stop this happening again.

The shadow period is before the retrograde, when Mercury is in degrees that will be part of the cycle. The release period is when Mercury is out of retrograde degrees completely. The shadow time is one of foreshadowing; the days up to the release bring many ah-has.February 23 to March 17, 2013
- Shadow: 6 Pisces, February 9th
- Retro Station: 20, Pisces 23rd
- Direct Station: 6 Pisces, March 17th
- Release: 20 Pisces, April 7th
- Shadow: 13 Cancer, June 10th
- Retro Station: 23 Cancer, June 26th
- Direct Station: 13 Cancer, July 20th
- Release: 23 Cancer, August 4
- Shadow: 2 Scorpio, October 1st
- Retro Station: 18 Scorpio, November 6
- Direct Station: 2 Scorpio, November 10th
- Release: 18 Scorpio, November 27th
All three of the Mercury retrograde zones in 2013, are in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Mercury in water has a filter of feelings. So a retrograde in water signs adds the power of authentic emotion to what we're saying, perceiving, picking up by vibes.
This is one way to see how a retro recovery, can enrich our lives. If we've denied how we really feel about a person or situation, Mercury re-aligns us with that emotional intel. It's a great time to rediscover personal meaning, in life experiences, through memories, impressions, serendipity. This retro also inspires us to share what's in the depths, with others. A water sign Mercury turns its wheels on moods, so spend time in places that have atmosphere, are somehow magical, evocative. The imagination finds a groove with the right music or cinema, a book or friend, time in the wild or in a state of alert daydreaming.Mercury Retrograde in Pisces
February 23rd to March 17th: The first waves come with Mercury in mutable Pisces, the sign with door always flung wide to spiritual realities. That makes this a super magical time. The perceptive faculties pick up a wider range, if you're open and clear. It pays to spend more time pondering life's mysteries now, and the bigger picture.
Mercury retrograde is when things happen that feel fated, and "what are the odds?" Like thinking of a friend, and then seeing them in the next moment. In Pisces, be alert to reminders of that capacity to know, to sense what's ahead and who is in your orbit. This is a time for the seemingly miraculous, and shifts of consciousness.
Other phenomenon: powerful animal-human communication; a picture goes viral and moves people beyond words; a 'sign' from a beloved who has passed over; an experience of oneness in nature; an encounter with a stranger that's tender, a show of common humanity; a voice rising for the helpless; being lost at sea.Mercury in Cancer Retrograde
June 26th to July 20th, 2013 Mercury in Cancer (retrograde) takes us into original waters -- the feeling waves of family, home, Mother, native land and culture and safety. The past may be worth a second look -- for understanding, meaning, healing.
Close friends or family circle back into our lives, perhaps to continue a soul conversation that was left unresolved. Here we trace an emotional matrix we've carried with us, back to its roots, and in doing so, there's freedom. Cancer is a sign that's challenged to come out of dependency, and to overcome habits of reacting to others. It's a sign of mastering moods, and the force of cardinal water, to initiate ideas - to move people. This can be a time of tracing that lineage of feeling, and finding treasure there, as it's integrated.
Other phenomena: going back home (either by necessity or on a quest); hearing from lost lost relatives; looking at patterns in a parent-child relationship; picking up impressions in a house (lingering energy, "ghosts," other eras); edit your historical novel; re-envision/remodel your home.Mercury in Scorpio Retrograde
October 21st to November 10th, 2013: Mercury in Scorpio retrograde comes in the dark of the year, when the veil between worlds is thin. An ideal time for the divination arts, as psychic senses are on alert. It's also for composting the material of the inner landscape, resting, and letting the alchemy of the cauldron stirring work its magic.
A big theme that can arise now is sexual bonds, that sometimes become psychic ones that are hard to cut. Issues of power, and being held by someone's energy surface. This cycle is one for cord cutting, and reclaiming boundaries that have grown too enmeshed. It's one for reconsider what has a hold on your attention, and sharpening your scythe, to let go once and for all (or at least, at a deeper level).
Other phenomena: Sexual trauma comes out, to be reexamined, and perhaps expressed; Exorcising demons that have invaded your space; Discovering tools to deal with psychic attack; Mastering your domain (your mind and energy) and undoing/unplugging from mind control programming; healing wounds around sexuality.

Respected for her mastery of collage art, Toshiko Okanoue was also embraced as a photographer, included in 2003's The History of Japanese Photography. Active in the 1950's, Okanoue clipped photographs from magazines like Life and Vogue and meticulously arranged them to create surreal representations of the way she personally viewed Western life(style).
I just discovering her collages for the first time ever today - thanks to a feature in the June 2008 issue of Foam International Fine Art Photography magazine published quarterly in Amsterdam.
Often I find that color photo collage with both natural and artificial light sources just feels unorganized and noisy. Yet collage with black and white photography seems more cohesive and expressive of an overarching concept.
SPEAK OUT: Would you consider collage artists to be photographers or are they just appropriating the work of others?

Why we can safely say Darwin wasn't left-handed
A link to a post on the excellent Brain Pickings blog just appeared in my Twitter stream, claiming that Charles Darwin was left-handed. My sceptical radar immediately went into overdrive. There's no reason why Darwin shouldn't have been left-handed, but the fact that I had never heard this interesting item of Darwin trivia before made me doubt its veracity.
Lots of minority groups like to claim Darwin as one of their own. Vegetarians are forever saying he was one of theirs (he wasn't). Homeopaths insist on claiming he was into homeopathy (he definitely wasn't). Born-again Christians still go on about Darwin's deathbed conversion to Christianity (total bullshit). As a general rule, if any minority group (excluding me and my fellow beardies) claims Darwin as one of theirs, you should take the claim with a huge pinch of salt.
A quick Google search revealed that there are an awful lot of websites out there claiming that Darwin was left-handed.
One reason I doubted Darwin's left-handedness was that I have seen samples of his handwriting, and it certainly doesn't look like the handwriting of a left-hander. But the bogus science of graphology clearly isn't conclusive proof, so I carried out some further research.
In 1877, Darwin published A biographical sketch of an infant in Mind, a Quarterly Review of Psychology and Philosophy. The infant in question was one of his own sons. In the paper, Darwin wrote:
[T]his infant afterwards proved to be left-handed, the tendency being no doubt inherited—his grandfather, mother, and a brother having been or being left-handed.
No mention of the infant's father (Darwin) being left-handed, then.
Sorry, Lefties, I think we can safely say Darwin was right-handed.
Darwin portrait and sketches on display in Shrewsbury
From an email received:
I do hope this finds interest to you and your fellow Friends of Darwin.
My name is Victoria Clinton, an artist local to Shrewsbury. In 2009, I completed a portrait in oils of Charles Darwin to mark his bicentenary celebrations, which lead to me being featured in our local newspaper, the Shropshire Star, to mark the occasion. Nearly five years later I am preparing to display the same portrait along with a pencil sketch of Darwin inside the Shrewsbury Library, allowing the public to view these in Darwin's former school. The exhibition is free to enter, and will run from 19th March for a minimum of 6 weeks. Both the local BBC Radio Shropshire and the Shropshire Star are covering the event.
My website which includes my portraits of Darwin can be found at: www.victoriaclintonfineart.co.uk

With its texts taken from the writings of Charles Darwin, its music based on the traditional polyphonic mass yet with the core germ of its musical structure coming from the genetic sequence of Platyspiza crassirostris (commonly known as Darwin's Finches), Missa Charles Darwin by Gregory W Brown (brother of the novelist Dan Brown) is very much a work for the modern day, forming a unique and intriguing blend of contemporary music with modern science and traditional musical forms.The mass was premiered in 2011 by the all male group New York Polyphony, and London Concord Singers are pleased to be presenting the UK premiere of the work, as well as giving the world premiere version for mixed choir. Missa Charles Darwin will be performed alongside Mendelssohn's Three Psalms, Op. 78 and motets by Alessandro Scarlatti and Charles Wood.

New book reviews
I've just added two new reviews to the Books section:
Darwin & His Children
by Tim M. Berra

The Happy Atheist
by PZ Myers
Relentlessly unsubtle wholesome entertainment.
02-Mar-2014: The Friends of Charles Darwin are 20 years old today!
The Friends of Charles Darwin were officially founded 20 years ago today, on 2nd March, 1994.
On that date, my co-founder, Fitz, and I posted a letter to the Chief Cashier of the Bank of England, in which we drew the bank's attention to a 'glaring omission': Charles Darwin had been overlooked on their bank notes! We pointed out that Darwin's image 'would add some much-needed dignity to the family of British bank notes', and asked if it would be a good idea if we arranged a petition. Then we began collecting names.
A little over six years later, the Bank of England announced that Charles Darwin would soon replace Charles Dickens on the £10 note.
To be honest, I suspect the bank's decision to grant Darwin his rightful place on one of their bank notes had very little, if anything, to do with our campaign: Darwin was the obvious choice for the next person to appear on a note. Our campaign was just supposed to be a bit of fun: collecting the names of like-minded people who were prepared to declare 'Charlie is my Darwin', and who relished the idea of seeing Darwin on a bank note, and of putting the letters FCD (Friend of Charles Darwin) after their names. Which is why we've continued to take on new members long after Darwin finally appeared in all his bearded magnificence on the tenner:
Nowadays, arranging online petitions is a piece of cake: it's as easy as asking people to click a 'Like' button on Facebook. But back in our early days, having a website at all was pretty damn impressive. The Friends of Charles Darwin first appeared on the web some time in 1995. I shudder to realise how dreadful our website must have looked by modern website standards. Fortunately, the internet archive doesn't go that far back. But, as an indicator of how bad it was, here's our first logo:
But who cares if it all looked (and still looks) a bit amateurish? That's the whole point! The Friends of Charles Darwin is a fan club, set up for our fellow Darwin groupies. And an amateur is someone who does something for love, not profit. Just like Charles Darwin, in fact.
So, on the off-chance that you haven't already done so, why not join the Friends of Charles Darwin, and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+.
Happy Anniversary to us!
And here's to the next 20 years!
Charles Darwin: book-vandal
As a self-confessed Darwin groupie, I own an extensive collection of books by and about my hero and his friends and colleagues. Many of these books are still in print, but I have inevitably acquired a number of out-of-print, second-hand books.
One of the delights of second-hand books is coming across the inscriptions and marginalia of their previous owners. Often, the reason for a mark or underlining escapes me—why on earth did they think that particular passage was worth highlighting? Sometimes, the notes are illegible. Very occasionally, they can be (melo)dramatic.
Last weekend, leafing through my abridged copy of Sir Francis Darwin's Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, I encountered numerous brief notes in the margins, all in the same hand. Here's a selection:
- reading + lectures
- !!!!
- industry + concentrated attention
- Wordsworth
- collection of facts
- Put it down!!
- novel reading
- Respect for TIME!
- a Naturalist
- age of the world
- Boy Chimney Sweep
- Fame! & Instinct!
- Huxley approves
- [my favourite] Poor Sedgwick
I will never know who the previous owner of my book was, but it seems pretty obvious to me that they were a fellow Darwin groupie: the book has clearly been read from cover to cover, with considerable enthusiasm, and the passages marked are often the sorts of passages I would mark.
Only I wouldn't. I could never bring myself to write in a book, you see. It's just not the done thing. Instead, when I'm reading a book, I make notes on index cards, which double as convenient bookmarks. Once I've finished the book, I tuck the card away inside the back cover for future reference. Yes, loose cards can be lost, but writing in books, well… you just don't! It's not how I was brought up. Books are precious objects to be cosseted, not abused.
And then I turn to page 96 of Sir Francis's memoir, and find myself frankly aghast at the following passage about my hero:
For books he had no respect, but merely considered them as tools to be worked with. Thus he did not bind them, and even when a paper book fell to pieces from use, as happened to Müller's Befruchtung, he preserved it from complete dissolution by putting a metal clip over its back. In the same way he would cut a heavy book in half, to make it more convenient to hold. He used to boast that he had made Lyell publish the second edition of one of his books in two volumes, instead of in one, by telling him how he had been obliged to cut it in half.
Cutting a heavy book in half… Darwin groupie though I will forever remain, here I draw the line. Mr Darwin, you were a incorrigible vandal, sir!
Darwin struggles with German
I was reading Sir Francis Darwin's reminiscences about his father yesterday, and was amused by the following passage describing Charles Darwin's approach to reading German:
Much of his scientific reading was in German, and this was a serious labour to him; in reading a book after him, I was often struck at seeing, from the pencil-marks made each day where he left off, how little he could read at a time. He used to call German the "Verdammte," pronounced as if in English. He was especially indignant with Germans, because he was convinced that they could write simply if they chose, and often praised Professor Hildebrand of Freiburg for writing German which was as clear as French. He sometimes gave a German sentence to a friend, a patriotic German lady, and used to laugh at her if she did not translate it fluently. He himself learnt German simply by hammering away with a dictionary; he would say that his only way was to read a sentence a great many times over, and at last the meaning occurred to him. When he began German long ago, he boasted of the fact (as he used to tell) to Sir J. Hooker, who replied, "Ah, my dear fellow, that's nothing; I've begun it many times".
In spite of his want of grammar, he managed to get on wonderfully with German, and the sentences that he failed to make out were generally difficult ones. He never attempted to speak German correctly, but pronounced the words as though they were English; and this made it not a little difficult to help him, when he read out a German sentence and asked for a translation. He certainly had a bad ear for vocal sounds, so that he found it impossible to perceive small differences in pronunciation.

BBC to film antiques show in Hay-On-Wye
Updated 9:12am Wednesday 26th March 2014 in News
BRITAIN'S book capital is making a name for itself in the antiques world – with Hay-on-Wye selected to appear on a new BBC series The Great Antiques Map of Britain.
Expert Tim Wonnacott will be visiting the border town in April to film the show, which looks to use local people's antiques as a springboard into exploring the history if the area.
The BBC are calling on anyone throughout the county who might have antiques or collectables that reveal something about Herefordshire to get in touch.
Those chosen will get to tap into Tim's knowledge and, in Antiques Roadshow-style, find out what their item might be worth.

Valdosta - Scott James and Shari Crim will spend the next 36 hours begging and pleading for money. "It's cold, nasty, and your nose runs, but we come back and do it every year," said Scott James.
They're battling the blistering wind and cold temperatures to raise money for the Greater Valdosta United Way. It's the 9th year they've climbed up on the roof top for the annual Charity Roof Sit. "They support 25 agencies that have touched absolutely everybody in the community, and they're so important to everyone else, that makes it important to you," said James.
It's the last fundraising event in this year's campaign, and usually one of the biggest. In years past, the roof sit brought in about $7,000. "We're holding strong at 70 percent, so we really need to put a plea out for people to come forward now, we're trying to wrap things up," said Karen Costlow-Nolan, United Way Director.
Temperatures are expected to drop into the low 30's tonight, so you can imagine what it will be like to sleep on the roof with just a cot, sleeping bag, and a few blankets. "We've got an awning, we're hoping it will block some of the wind but if not, we'll break out the long johns too," said Crim.
And even though they'll be tired and weathered when they come down tomorrow night, pushing the United Way one step closer to its campaign goal will be worth every minute.

Dog bite boy's father: 'disgusted' by attack
The father of a boy seriously injured after being attacked by a police dog has told ITV News Central he is 'disgusted'.

Police apology over dog attack
West Midlands Police have apologised after a police dog attacked a boy in Oldbury.
The 10-year-old suffered serious injuries and is still in hospital, four days later.
The German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois cross was helping officers, after reports of four men stealing copper in the Western Road area of the town.
"This poor young boy has gone through an absolutely horrendous ordeal and my thoughts are with him and his family as he recovers from his injuries.
"We apologise unreservedly for what has happened and have launched an investigation to fully understand exactly how an innocent young lad came to be bitten by a police dog in the safety of his own back garden.
– Chief Inspector Ian Marsh
"Police dogs and their handlers receive intensive training and play crucial roles in the arrest of suspects day in day out, but on the very rare occasions where things go wrong, it's vital we understand why and learn the lessons to ensure it doesn't happen again."

'Cats continue on road to conference
The two golf teams played at the Culturama Classic at The Reserve on Oct. 5-7 in Aloha, Ore.
The woman's golf team started the tournament off stron g with two players in the top ten.
Freshman Abigail Heringer was tied for fifth place with a 78 and sophomore Maggie Harlow was at tenth place with an 81 by the end of the first day.
"I thought it went pretty well," Heringer said. "It was a tough course and there were a lot of bunkers. We were all pretty happy with how we did."
On the second day, the team ended with daily score of 361, which was eight points lower than the previous day, and a total score of 730.
A highlight from that day was Heringer who was keeping it consistent with a score of 78 and getting seventh place, leading the team with a total score of 156. The team finished fifth out of seven other schools.
"I think we did okay," Harlow said. "We hit the ball well a lot, but it just didn't show in our scores. Overall it was a nice weekend with some good weather."
The team is taking a week off for practice where they will work on their short game and keeping themselves focused until they face Lewis & Clark University at their duel on their home course, Michelbook.
"We want to work on our mental game," head coach Brynn Hurdus said. "That's something we can always work on and that's part of the reason our scores are so low. They always have a positive attitude, but we need to work on keeping it there during tournaments."
The men's golf team's tournament started on Oct. 6 and will continue on till Oct. 7.
The team ended the first day in sixth place out of 11 teams. Key players were junior Kevin Kawasaki who is at tenth place with a score of 74 and junior Taylor Pirnke left with a score of 78.
"It could have been better," Pirnke said. "A couple of guys ran into some bad holes and that made our scores increase. I think we started to get the hang of it and we will do better tomorrow."
The men's team will continue their tournament tomorrow and will be playing a previously canceled tournament at The Reserve on Oct. 20-21.

Anthea Turner getting skates on?
10:35am Wednesday 5th September 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Anthea Turner is being lined up for Dancing On Ice, according to reports.
The former Blue Peter and GMTV presenter, 52, who recently hit the headlines over marriage troubles, has already tried out for the ITV1 show, The Sun reported.
A source said: "Anthea is still a household name and someone who ITV chiefs are convinced that their viewers will want to see on the ice rink.
"She has managed to keep herself in good nick over the years and is very fit for someone who is 52.
"Also, Anthea has not been on the television for years so is aching to get back into the limelight."
Anthea has reportedly been offered a £50,000 deal to compete in the eighth series, which starts next January.
In July, Anthea said she was "heartbroken and devastated" amid reports that her marriage to Grant Bovey was in crisis.
The couple have been spending time apart after reports Grant had an affair while she was filming in Canada.
The one-time TV golden girl had to sell her £10 million estate Barbins Grange in 2009 and a year later Grant was declared bankrupt after the collapse of his property company Imagine Homes.

The success of the Nissan Qashqai knows no bounds. Last year was a record year for sales despite the fact it's been around since 2007. Mind you, it's easy to see why, because the high-riding family car represents great value, looks stylish and drives well.
On the outside its contemporary styling gave birth to a whole new sector of the market and it hasn't dated. Interior quality is no match for the likes of the Skoda Yeti but you won't care about some of the cheap surfaces once you've seen how much kit you've got to play with. Models fitted with the Nissan Connect system are perfectly equipped for the 21st Century with Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, as well as integrated sat-nav.
Spacious back seats and a decent 410-litre boot ensure the Nissan is a genuine alternative to a conventional small family hatch. Diesel models are the most appealing thanks to their performance and economy, while +2 models feature an extended body and an extra row of occasional rear seats that fold into the boot floor.

Impressions of California: La Jolla Library presents plein air exhibit opening at reception on Sunday
By Susan DeMaggio
California's breathtaking landscape is the focus of Friends of the La Jolla Library's 11th art exhibition, running Sept. 29-Dec.31 in the Community Room gallery at 7555 Draper Ave.
Titled, "Fresh Paint," the exhibit will feature some of California's leading plein air and scenery artists, who will donate a portion of the selling price of their works to the library.
"This is a chance for collectors to purchase an outstanding representational artwork and benefit the library, as well," said show curator Patricia Jasper Clark, who is also a local painter and interior designer. Clark's works have twice won awards from the Secret Garden Tour of La Jolla event, among others.
"'Fresh Paint' will present the works of Brian Blood, Scottie Brown, John Budicin, Mark Fehlman, Ken Goldman, Robin Hall, Carolyn Hesse-Low, Laurie Kersey, Calvin Liang, Michael Obermeyer, Scott Prior, Ray Roberts, Toni Williams, Jeff Yeomans and myself," Jasper Clark said. "This is the second plein air show we've offered in the three years the Friends have been staging quarterly exhibits."
The exhibits are produced by the Friends' Art Committee, which includes Jasper Clark, Arlene Powers, Maura Walters and Emily Vermillion. "Our goal is to produce four big art shows a year," Powers said. "Two invitational, one juried, and one anything-goes, at the discretion of the Art Committee. We kick off each exhibition with a free, artists reception for the community and 'Fresh Paint' will have its party from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29 in the library. There will be food, drink, music from the Ukulele Brothers, and the chance to meet the artists, view their works, and buy a painting."
Powers said the success of the receptions comes from the generosity of local merchants like Amici Pizza, Girard Gourmet, Adelaide's Florist, Sammy's Woodfired Pizza and Cups.
"Our mission with these exhibitions is three-fold," Jasper Clark said. "We hope to produce creative, stimulating art shows for the community; support emerging local and regional artists; and bring people into the library to discover all it has to offer."
Powers added that being "surrounded by lovely art" enhances all the programs and meetings that take place in the library's community room. "We are thrilled to bring works, like those by Ray Roberts, to La Jolla," she said. "Roberts is one of California's most respected plein air artists. He recently won the gold medal for Best Painting at the California Art Club and the Artists' Choice Award, the highest accolade from fellow artists, at three major Southwest art events."
The Art Committee welcomes support and ideas to enhance its projects. Contact Powers at email@example.com or Jasper Clark at email@example.com
