    Happy pooch year to you all.

    A programme to help more black students win places at Oxford and Cambridge is to almost treble in size.

    Oxford and Cambridge have increased support for Target Oxbridge which helps black students with university visits, mentoring and advice.

    It follows criticism of both universities over the low number of offers made to working class and non-white applicants.

    Target Oxbridge said the backing meant 160 funded places can run next year.

  8. Cambridge museum gets into Valentine's spirit - with cake

    Staff at the Scott Polar Museum in Cambridge are getting into the spirit of Valentine's Day by hauling out a chunk of old cake.

    But it's not just any old cake - it's a 110-year-old slice of polar explorer Capt Scott's wedding cake.

    They're feeling all loved-up over some of the more unusual artefacts kept at the museum, and although this one has been well-documented, its story never fails to enthrall.

    The slice of aged sponge belonged to Edward Wilson, who died with Scott in Antarctica - and who accidentally sat on the cake after popping it in his jacket pocket.

    You can read more about the "romantic" adventures of this cake here.

  9. Always the bridesmaid: Streets fail in 'most romantic name' bid

    Two streets in the east of England in the running to be crowned as having the "most romantic name"... have failed to top a public poll.

    Fourteen streets across the UK were shortlisted by charity Living streets - among them Trueloves Lane in Ingatestone, Essex, and Sweetpea Way in Orchard Park, Cambridge.

    While both sound very romantic - and more than 1,200 people took part in the poll - they failed to beat the loved-up Love Street in Paisley, Scotland, which came out on top.

    Trueloves lane, however managed second place with 159 votes - only five fewer than the winner, while Sweetpea Way came in sixth place with 126 votes.

    Union Street in Manchester came in last, with only 28 votes.

  10. Cambridgeshire's libraries to charge for computer use

    People who want to use computers in Cambridgeshire's libraries are to be charged £1 per hour in a bid to bring in about £110,000 a year to help support the service.

    The county council runs 32 libraries and four mobile libraries, and says it main one - Central Library in Cambridge - is the fourth busiest in the country.

    As it looks to bolster its funding to continue the service, the council agreed to introduce the charge from the end of April at a meeting on Tuesday.

    Users over 18 will be charged £1 an hour - although an initial 30 minutes' use will be free. Council and government websites will also remain free to access.

    Mathew Shuter, chair of the community infrastructure committee on the council, said there was evidence some people spent "many hours" on the libraries' computers, effectively "blocking" others from using them.
