Bingo the bitzer dog defied the odds
Bingo the bitzer dog defied the odds and survived swimming through freezing waters and a night in the open before being found on Waiheke Island with a wag in his tail last night. He leapt off a boat – possibly to "chase some dolphins" – on Wednesday, one nautical mile offshore from Waiheke Island. Coastguard spokesman Jo Ottey said they "didn't hold much hope" for Bingo because of the very cold water temperature and choppy conditions. But Bingo did survive the sea and dragged himself up to the Man O War Vineyard where he collapsed at the door of the caretakers' house on the north east side of the island. Vineyard owner Odette Brown said caretakers heard a whimper at the back door and found Bingo "cold and a bit quivery, but in pretty good shape considering. He was an extremely lucky dog." Bingo was "a bit traumatised" since returning home.

Cheating: Gaining Advantage in Videogames
Cheating: Gaining Advantage in Videogames
by Mia Consalvo
Consalvo provides a cultural history of cheating in videogames, looking at how the packaging and selling of such cheat-enablers as cheat books, GameSharks, and mod chips created a cheat industry. She investigates how players themselves define cheating and how their playing choices can be understood, with particular attention to online cheating.
Cautionary Tale
Cautionary Tale National bingo winner Karen Bryson has won £27,880 in compensation from her ex-partner after he broke a promise to give her a share of his house. Bryson claimed that Alex Bunce had offered her the property deal after she scooped a £103,247 national jackpot at her local bingo hall. The pair then spent the jackpot in under 12 months, on 'exotic holidays, a sports car and paying off credit card debts'. The couple had been seeing each other for six months before the win. Bryson, told the court they had met with a solicitor to change the title deeds to include her name. She said: "It all sounded so simple - I give him half the money and I get half the house. But the transfer of the title deeds never happened. There were always excuses as to why it hadn't gone through.
