Partial badger victory: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-26868650 "Badger cull expansion abandoned after trial failure" A total waste of everybody's time, energy and money yet they're continuing the pilot cull only now with " no independent oversight to assess their futu...

It has always seemed to me that the case for badgers being a major vector in the spread of the disease was unproven and that any cull would, in any case,probably be ineffective. I wondered why cattle weren't inoculated against the disease. This article seems to answer that question: http://www.bovin...

Well, well, well! Who'da thunk it? After the Marks case in Florida last month here's another US psychic being prosecuted - this one's for larceny.

The comments were pretty good...have to say I made that mistake on first glance...looked him up and it turns out he's a colleague of my sister's (or possibly former colleague...I didn't check that closely)

That announcement says he's going back to work on the 15th of february 2010...

No posts this year on that site.
