Alex Malcolm in Melbourne
December 19, 2012
Melbourne Renegades 103 for 3 (Finch 46*) beat Hobart Hurricanes 102 for 9 (Ponting 25, Rimmington 3-18, Samuels 3-22) by seven wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Melbourne Renegades, unfashionable and unfancied before the tournament began, won their third straight game, beating Hobart Hurricanes by seven wickets at Docklands Stadium.
They stuck to the formula of winning the toss and bowling. All 11 matches in this tournament so far have been won by the chasing team. But their attack is proving extremely effective as they strangled the Hurricanes on a surface that looked relatively good for batting.
There is a touch of Moneyball about the Renegades. They have the all-time leading wicket-taker in international cricket, Muttiah Muralitharan, and the Man of the Match from the 2012 World Twenty20 final, Marlon Samuels, as marquee men. But there are two journeymen in Nathan Rimmington and Aaron O'Brien, who happen to be in the top five leading wicket-takers in Australian domestic T20 history, as well as the seamer Darren Pattinson (who played one Test for England) to round off a well-balanced bowling unit.
The Hurricanes started steadily. Pattinson erred by dropping short to Ricky Ponting twice in the second over and paid for it by giving away two boundaries. But Rimmington's late swing removed Tim Paine to start a rot that would prove fatal for the visitors. The dangerous Travis Birt nearly hit the roof when he launched Samuels but it landed in the doctor-safe hands of Daniel Harris.
Ponting threatened to unleash when he lofted an imperious cover drive into the stands off Pattinson. But Ponting lost his off stump off an uncharacteristic reverse-sweep off Muralitharan and the Hurricanes began to slide. They lost 4 for 16 in 28 torturous deliveries, with Muralitharan striking twice, O'Brien and Rimmington once apiece.
Owais Shah was unbeaten in that period but he did not help his team's cause, scoring a boundary-less 14 from 29 balls before becoming Samuels' third victim in the 18th over. Xavier Doherty and Doug Bollinger scored 15 from the last 10 balls to ensure the Hurricanes went past three figures and didn't get bowled out.
Aaron Finch continued to prove himself as one of the star players in Australian domestic limited-overs cricket, making light work of the chase with an unbeaten 46 from 40 balls. He went after Bollinger, but because it hit a beam supporting the roof, outside the boundary line, and bounced back onto the field it was ruled a dead ball. That denied him a fifty.
Finch lost Harris early in the chase, but had the support of Samuels in maximising the Powerplay overs. Samuels smoked 21 from just nine deliveries before chopping Michael Hogan onto his stumps via his pads. Ben Rohrer made a crafty 18, and Tom Cooper made an easy unbeaten 10 to see the chase home with his captain Finch with 40 balls to spare.
The Hurricanes, last year's semi-finalists, have now lost two in a row and need to recover against Sydney Thunder on Sunday in Hobart. The Renegades will be gunning for four straight wins when they host Brisbane Heat on Saturday.

text: Im so disgusted with our society never supporting our servants of our community or country. So many people are so quick to judge the BP agent for the decision he made. Why cant we as society just support him. Do we honestly believe that this young man who was killed was just playing marbles at the time he was shot. Every time someone i.e police officer,soldier or marine has to make the tough decision of taking ones life, we always just assume they were wrong.

Guillermo Rigondeaux retained his WBA super bantamweight championship and added the WBO super bantamweight belt, unanimously outpointing Nonito Donaire on Saturday night at Radio City Music Hall.
Rigondeaux improved to 12-0, receiving winning scores of 114-113, 115-112 and 116-111 in the unification bout. He failed to knock out his opponent for only the fourth time since turning pro, but overcame being knocked down twice in the opening minute of the 10th round in a performance that had some booing the lack of action.
Rigondeaux's speed appeared to be too much for Donaire (31-2), who was trying to defend his WBO super bantamweight belt for the fifth time. Donaire, the Professional Boxing Writers Association fighter of the year for 2012, was handed his first loss in 30 fights since 2001.
Disappointed loss
"I apologise,'' Donaire said.
"I wanted to deliver. During the last two rounds, I got stupid. I didn't do my job. I didn't use my jab and go to my left. I have no excuse. He beat me tonight. I gave it all I got. I never studied the fight and I should have.''
The Cuban defector, a two-time gold medallist believed to have fought over 400 amateur bouts, landed 129 of 396 punches. Donaire landed only 82 of 352 punches and by the time the fight ended, he was trying to avoid further swelling on his right eye.
"We fought the Cuban boxing way, hit and don't get hit,'' trainer Pedro Diaz said. "We made Donaire look very bad.''
Donaire appeared to knock down Rigondeaux in the opening seconds of the 10th, but referee Benjy Esteves ruled it a slip. After being dropped with a left hand, Rigondeaux quickly got up.
Going into the 12th round, judges Tom Schreck and Julie Lederman had the fight in favour of Rigondeaux, with Schreck scoring it 105-103 and Lederman 106-102. John Stewart had the fight even at 104-104.
"He was pitching a shutout,'' trainer Diaz said.
"He won every round. He was throwing more punches and being more aggressive.''
Big win
Rigondeaux ended his biggest victory as a pro by opening the 12th with three hard lefts and then began punishing Donaire with a series of punches along the ropes.
"I saw Nonito looking for one punch,'' current WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley said.
"It seemed like he was looking for one punch. He was following him around the ring but the thing about the Cubans is that they're so smart. That's why you kept seeing that right hand around the head. That's Cuban style fighting. That's what they do.''
In the build-up to the fight, Donaire and Rigondeaux had an eye-to-eye confrontation in the weigh-in. When the fight concluded, Donaire headed to Rigondeaux's corner and told him he was the best.
Rigondeaux dominated the opening round and appeared to catch Donaire off-guard quickly with a pair of effective left hands and then got his attention with two more right hands, including one near the final bell.
"This is boxing,'' Rigondeaux said. "I got him right away. He didn't hurt me.''
The fight was the second in the 82-year history of the building. The other was in 2000 when Roy Jones Jr. retained the light heavyweight championship against David Telesco in 2000.
Promoters said a crowd of 6,145 fans attended the fight including NBA star Carmelo Anthony.

Hello all. New to brewing, besides a Mr. beer kit about a year ago or so.
I received a 5 gallon kit for xmas and a partial mash kit to go with it, and I am hoping to brew in the next few weeks.
However, I have a major water issue. The tap water in my town is LOADED with Iron, and it tastes like crap. My uncle lives about an hour away and has good, clean tasting well water available.
My question is this: If I take a 5 gallon spring water jug up there and fill it, do I have to sanitize the jug prior to filling it? I know when you make a 5 gallon kit, not all 5 gallons of water are boiled (some is boiled, the rest is added later), otherwise the boiling would be enough to kill anything unwarranted (is this correct?).
Option #2: Just boil the 5 gallons I get from him prior to brewing.
Which would be easier / more desirable?
Thank you for all your help!
Do you have somewhere you can just buy some bottled water for this? shouldnt be that expensive
This has been covered in great detail so you might be able to find great answers faster than waiting for other people to reply to your post using the search function.
Water isn't a huge deal when doing extract brewing. If you are doing all grain then you might want to look more into it. With extract brewing you can use bottled spring/ro/distilled water. If you have a RO filter like Britta then you can use that. Driving the 2 hours for 5 gallons of water is not necessary at all. It costs me $4 to buy 6 gallons of water at my grocery store (you want 6 gallons because you will boil some off).

Professional Development Focused on Children's Algebraic Reasoning in Elementary School
Victoria R. Jacobs, Megan Loef Franke, Thomas P. Carpenter, Linda Levi, Dan Battey
May 2007, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 258
A yearlong experimental study showed positive effects of a professional development project that involved 19 urban elementary schools, 180 teachers, and 3735 students from one of the lowest performing school districts in California. Algebraic reasoning as generalized arithmetic and the study of relations was used as the centerpiece for work with teachers in Grades 1–5. Participating teachers generated a wider variety of student strategies, including more strategies that reflected the use of relational thinking, than did nonparticipating teachers. Students in participating classes showed significantly better understanding of the equal sign and used significantly more strategies reflecting relational thinking during interviews than did students in classes of nonparticipating teachers.

W&M DC Summer Institutes Mentorship Program
Our W&M DC Summer Institutes students benefit immensely from DC area W&M alumni through internship leads, site visit contacts and more. In order to strengthen these valuable ties, we have established a more formal program to connect these students with alumni in order to foster a closer network of professional development.
To Become a Mentor
Please fill out a brief survey. If you have any questions, please contact [[sladler01, Sarah Adler]], Program Manager, at 202-939-4002.
W&M DC Summer Institutes Background
Our bright and focused students have been selected to participate in W&M DC Summer Institutes via a competitive application process. Each student spends two weeks taking classes in the W&M Washington Office to become a relative expert in their field of study, which is then followed by 10 weeks as a full-time intern with an organization that matches his or her interest and his or her institute's theme.
W&M DC Summer Institutes Mentorship Program
The W&M DC Summer Institutes Mentorship Program will match up W&M DCSI students with DC-area alumni who are willing to occasionally take time during the summer to talk to mentees about their experiences in DC, their future careers, and the options that they face during this stage of their professional development. The mentor's committment is fairly minimal: meet with your mentee at least 3 times throughout the course of the summer (one of these meetings is the Mentorship Dinner where we honor our mentors), and discuss career advice, areas of interest, and goals for the student's future.
What Does a Mentor Do?
A mentor is a person who provides any of the following support to a mentee:
- Advice on career options and fields of interest
- Guidance and support as the student develops his or her own professional network
- Consultation on résumés, cover letters, or certain ways to approach a potential employer
- Preparation for interviews and professional challenges
- Introduction to a variety of resources to assist the mentee in preparing for a specific career and transitioning from W&M to the "real world"
(Please note: It is not the mentor's role to help the student find a job in his or her organization or personal network. The mentor is assisting in building a skill set necessary to pursue career opportunities.)
When Might I Have the Opportunity to Mentor?
The recurring DC Summer Institutes topics are:
National Security - explores the formation of and challenges facing U.S. national security policy. Students often work with various government offices, such as the Department of Justice or the Department of Homeland Security, or even in Think Tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute or the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
Leadership & Community Engagement - explores leadership in the DC area non-profit sector. Students often work in various DC non-profits and governement agencies, including the Boys and Girls Club government relations office, National Conference on Citizenship, Millennium Challenge Corporation, and the Jane Goodall Institute.
New Media - explores new media including film, video, photography; television, radio, and print media; and art and culture. Students will often work at various media outlets, including DC Shorts, Public Citizen, and Diplomatic Courier.

text: A former teacher at a boarding school in southern Minnesota has been sentenced to more than four years in prison for sexually abusing six male students more than a decade ago. Lynn Seibel pleaded guilty to seven counts in July, more than a year after police began investigating alleged sexual contact with students at Shattuck-St. Mary's School in Faribault. He was sentenced to 52 months in prison Friday and will get credit for time served. The 71-year-old will then be on probation, likely for the rest of his life. Seibel taught drama at the school from 1992 to 2003 and lived in one of the dormitories. He left after child pornography was found on his computer, and was working as an actor in California before his arrest last year. His best-known performance as an actor was as the "Naked Teacher" in the television show "The Big Bang Theory."

2/3rds of Tories Say MacKay Should Resign
ConservativeHome polled 1,414 grassroots Tory members today and it don't look good for troughers:
ConservativeHome polled 1,414 grassroots Tory members today and it don't look good for troughers:
So do 3/3rds of the rest of us!
Try this Labour's latest party political broadcast for the EU/Locals
Complete Hoonery – don't think that their ad agency appears to understand that pensioner bus passes and TV licences aren't exactly up for grabs.
The made up Tory baby-eating policies are just risible.
I just saw it on TV (I'm guessing it's the same one with the punchbag etc.). I couldn't believe what I was seeing – neither could my wife who isn't a politics junkie like me. I'm long past considering voting for labour but that would have lost my vote. My wife was probably not going to vote labour but she certainly isn't now. "OOOGAAA BOOOGAAAA SCARY TORIES!" – Seriously, is that all they have? Pathetic! What are they going to do (other than yell oggaa booga)?
It's just part of the natural life cycle of a Labour government
stage 1: give shed loads of money to your mates and anyone thick enough to vote Labour
stage 2: run out of money
stage 3: blame the Tories
Yet again, they just don't get it!
A prelude of knocking copy against the Tories followed by a vacuum of Labour policy statements equals a crap ad. Most of us would like to know what the bloody New Labour crew are going to do about the crooks in our midst and the mess they've made of the country.
Political advertising at its worst – shoot the agency.
totally agree with pigs in space
that fucking chipmonk is on sky news again does she never miss the oppertunity of getting her kite on the box
that fucking chipmonk is on sky news again does she never miss the oppertunity of getting her kite on the box…
that fucking chipmonk! is on sky news again does she never miss the oppertunity of getting her kite on the box…bitch
what about Julie?does this mean she's innocent?
can't both be guilty. perhaps he's a fall guy for her
I'd imagine so yes. Probably felt she'd suffered enough. He's resigned, done the decent thing and they'll be paying the cash back.
Compare and contrast with Blears, Hoon, McNulty — can't be bothered to list — so we'll just say most of the Cabinet.
She looks innocent.
Possibly, but can anyone who consorts with someone like that actually BE innocent?
Butter may melt, but mud sticks, you know.
I want to know whether the Balls duo have been doing the same.
I voted for deselection of troughers on the ConHome one – and commented that I wanted the little piggies strung up by the snouts (or any other available fleshy protuberance) until the squealing stops.
If this goes on there will be mutiny on this ship of state.
Did you hear "Lord" Truscott on the PM programme? It was the most arrogant display I think I have ever witnessed on the part of a British politician!
How can we apply pressure to see that these people are dealt with appropriately?
Grab them by the throat.
Or just cut their nuts off with a rusty knife!
You are guilty of lese majeste.
As we all know, "Lords" are to be strung up in a silken hangmans rope after due trial by their peers. Ask Earl Ferrers.
It might help if I knew who the fuck he is.
who the fuck are you. I earn all the cash around here while you strum on that guitar and blog. Christ its so bad I had to have an affair with Gay bloke.
Why only 2/3rds?
One in three has a criminal record?
Tory voters are a lot less harsh on financial corruption than the average electorate. Indeed for some Tory supporters the most unforgivable thing an MP has done coming out of this is not having a Moat and therefore making the constituency look less affluent than its neighbours.
Stand and deliver your money and your rights.
Too bloody right – let's clear up at least ONE Party! David Cameron has handled the expenses scandal the best of the three leaders.
We know NuLiebore MPs will hang on until they lose their seats in the GE. No resignations/sackings for Gordon's lot. After all, he's only hanging on by his badly bitten fingernails so he's not going to get rid of anyone.
Isn't Friday the day he has his weekly audience with the Queen?
Come on your Maj tell him on our behalf not to come back again until he's called a general election.
I thought it was Tuesday?
Labour's local constituency associations sold their souls (or rsouls in the case of Prescott's constituency) to the devil a long time ago. Thus they won't, daren't or can't object to the troughing at all.
A great day that socialists should finally be showing their true colours, i.e. (as MT always stated) that a socialist is only a socialist until they own their first credit card.
Cameron has known about this corrupt system and what his colleagues have been up to for years – as have the other party leaders. Why did he not act sooner? His hyperactivity now is all too little too late.
string 'em up!
Surprise! It's another scrote whose name starts with an 'M'.
McNulty, Martin, Morley etc,etc…
MMMMR Speaker
Moran, don't forget that particular thieving toe-rag.
Which reminds me of Italy in 1937, under the fascists – first a famous tenor called Mosca died, then Marconi, the radio pioneer. "Thank God" people said, "it's the turn of the Ms at last"
Elliott Morley is that vegetarian anti-hunting hoon whom Blair put in charge of farming ffs! ditto Hilary Benn, in charge of the countryside (or was it vice versa?) Either way it was slap in the face of us country folk – so glad to see them get their come-uppance. Mantraps would be too kind…
The only problem for me if Michael Martin resigns/told to fuck off, is that I will have to change my name.
depends on what you think of his replacement
He'll still be able to claim a vast pension, and probably a large parting present. He should be jailed or executed and all the family's assets seized.
Bring back the Lawe of Attainder!
I would bet London to a brick that the figures would be almost reversed if the same poll was taken of labour supporters re their piggies.
Labour = black heart of corruption from the top to the bottom.
The party and the project will always take precedence with those vile creatures.
Have to say I agree with you Throbber, although I think the real grassroots Labour would like to hang 'em high too – unfortunately, I guess the majority of activists etc take their moral standards from their leader & his badly broken Moral Compass
Not all of them. DoverWatch is calling for Shoonthrope CLP to deselect him and reminding them of Tatton 97.
Not all activists are following their lead. DoverWatch is calling for Shoonthrope CLP to deselect Morley and reminding them of Tatton 97.
Quite a few of my friends from way back are or have been until Blair and Co Labour activists – they are very idealistic people with an inability to think badly of anyone (excetp Tories! – me included). Thjey are utterly horrified by what's been going on
I see now that that paragon of hinesty Claire Short has been filling her boots.
As I said they are all corrupt down to their toenails. If you are of a left wing viewpoint, you instinctively think you are entitled to help yourself – its the underlying basis of the philosophy.
OK, time to start on the EU gravy train as well.
Fuck these thieving Hunts.
I'm personally paying over £1300 per month in direct tax & ni, plus a fortune in stealth taxes.
vote UKIP. Time to end the Euro gravy as well.
Oh yeh UKIP done well for us in the EU helped us to get out of it,only MP votes with Liebour plus other little trifles,Ive made my decision and all I want it to do is scare the sh*te out of the EU and this gang of thieves,tried non voting doesn't work tried UKIP that's a joke would try Jury but nobody has heard of them outside of blogs,so I am voting for the unmentionables,my vote but god help us.
ukip just a bunch of troffing scum did you not see them after the last elections they just looked like a bunch of twats that had won the lotery which they had. what we need is a new party i sujest troffing 4 u. policy return 100% of all excess expenses to the uk taxpayer
Dougie, aye to that laddie fuck the pigs in parliament and the fatter fucking porkers in the EU. Can't wait for the 'glorious 4th' to vote UKIP and tell them all to get fucked.
… and return the excess salaries and pensions and other benefits. Sitting on your arse boozing gossiping and voting as directed is not a high level job. £20,000 p.a. including expenses would be ample. Also, there's far too many of the slimy vermin. Even when caught redhanded they make it sound as if repaying a small portion of their thefts is somehow their great generosity conferring a boon on the public.
That, DC, would be democracy. If the Conservative party were purged the signal would ring loud and clear. Then all you have to do is remove the Whip and let your MP's vote on their conscience and the desires of their constituents.
If MPs are this venal just imagine what the bloated quangos are up to. It's like thousands of Vampires (the new "establishment") clamouring to drain the last drop of blood from a single, rapidly expiring victim (the taxpayer). Them and us never had more resonant meaning. Not only do they bleed us dry but they monitor, control, bully and badger every aspect of our lives.
How much of my extortionate council tax goes towards lthe "perks" of local government parasites?
You are 100% correct. All these quangos and make-weight jobs invented since 2001 by Brown as a mechanism to massage the unemployment figures, increase the payroll vote and pump-prime his 'miracle economy' with hundreds of billions of borrowed money just to pay the fuckers to get in our way.
All those one million fuckers just taking the piss. A million McKays. All sitting in front of their 42″ flat screen TV right now having knocked off at 5.00pm on the nail, climbed into their shiny car bought with even more borrowed money back to their executive home bought with even more fucking borrowed money. Completely stress-free because their job is utterly fucking pointless and unnecessary.
They are all taking the piss.
Right down to Parish Councils. There's a certain lady sitting on ours who uses one name for sitting on the PC and another (her married name) on her many and various planning applications. I've raised the matter with our District and County councillors but no action.
Our village is fighting the imposition of a T&G site funded with £750,000 quango money to be spent on just one 'extended' family. There are hardly any young people left in the village as we've had no affordable housing built for those who grew up here for over 20 years.
I won't dignify that with a response, well not in my own time I won't.
Susie I really feel for you. That policy is Prescott's legacy – two finger up to the 'toffs' who have worked and saved to live in a decent village. I truly hate that fat buffoon
quangoes and local authoities, next tier to be torn down overpaid jumped up town clerks who call themselves chief execs. Out all your porkies.
Glad to see you noticed finally… tried posting about this nearly an hour ago, but moderation in all things?
What a shame that so many troughers (that's a great word, by the way, are you reading OED?) are in "safe seats"
It could well be that by-elections are pending in SHunthorpe, or Bracknell, or Normanton, but the majorities are massive. The troughers could resign and yet not give their party much of a loss overall.
The shifts in the political system are still moving. Lot more to come I suspect….
And the other third say he should hang
Is Gordon Brown going to pay back that £6k for the cleaner then or what?
This is an official announcement regarding what to do if an MP or MPs posse arrive at your door whilst canvassing for the local elections:
1. Invite them all in
2. Offer them some tea or coffee
3. reset your microwave
4. Put all their heads in the microwave and gently cook for 6 minutes on HIGH
Thank you for your time
Bracknell Cons Party. Here is your opportunity to do something for the country and your Party.
Deselect Mr Mackay as soon as you have had your hearing which should be asap.
Set the precedent.
The nation will be grateful. No time for party politics.
Give a lead.
Agree – we want blood.
These statements to say 'I'm sorry I was caught but here's some of the money back; now you have to forgive me and it's business as usual' is far from enough.
But we want not just blue blood – we want NuLab's as well. So where is the guardian of parliamentary standards, Mr Speaker?
Has he taken vigorous action? No. Can we expect any? No.
What could he be doing? Ideally, resigning, but failing that, forming four small, independent groups headed by senior judges to examine every member's expense claims. The groups would report to Sir Alastair Graham, an honest man. Sir Alastair would report openly to the public. At the rate of four MPs a day per group the job would be done in six weeks.
MPs who were thought to have cheated would be dismissed from the House and by-elections would be held immediately.
What does Gorbals Mick do instead? Whine petulantly at MPs that it's their fault for talking to the media. The man is pathetic and should go. The Mail did a major two-page hatchet job on him yesterday, bringing together all his troughiness. They asserted that he won't resign as he'll forfeit a £100k payoff if he stays to the next election.
O/t, but The Petition is now up to over 58,000 and is still the most popular one on the number10 website.
Hmmmm….. what about ZanuLab and their pigs with snouts in the trough of excess?? Gorddo seems to congratulate them rather than discipline………….. roll on 2010 and the end to the Scottish mafia and Gorbels Mick!!!
If we treat, as we should, female politicians as equal in all respects then the fragrant Julie is just as culpable as her husband and should go down with him. They were in the double claim scam together, must have been aware of it, and has to be treated just the same.
Our MP, who is in the trough
trougher be thy name
thy expenses have come
thy will be done
in the papers and then in the courts
Give us this day our daily trough
And forgive us our sniggering,
because we don't forgive you.
You got lead into temptation,
You had John Lewis deliver.
And now its over, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen
I understand Blair and Martin shredded all their expense records.
The standard approach in cases like that is for HMRC to issue a huge surcharge and invite the victim to prove that the assessment is not valid.
They need to be treated the same way that the law treats us.
If they don't like that, we can all adopt Parliamentary standards of behaviour. We cannot have a country with two different legal systems, one for the politicians, the other for the rest of us.
At this rate we may get to bring back hanging.
Kick all of these fucking wankers out of OUR parliament.
I'd do both jobs gratis in my spare time.
Hang /shoot some twat in the morning look at a few new laws and say
Then get back to work.
thats what I hate about you liberals you never want to take a tough line on criminals.
"…….. my arrangements would not necessarily pass David's reasonableness test."
Let's get this clear, him and his MP wife sat down to discuss their expenses. One of them says "You say London is the second home and I'll say the constituency is the main home and that way we'll both claim the maximum – nice little earner there".
And neither of them said "Surely that's not right, you can't be allowed to do that"?
Hardly needed David Cameron's reasonableness test, did we. Mind, would love to have been a fly on the wall when DC realised what his Chief of Staff had been up to!
That's a great verbal I think I'll use that when I nick them both, do you mind?
David Cameron can drive his chariot like Boadicea through the massed ranks of tory troughers, and cull indiscriminitely, but he should think twice. At the end of the bloodfest he still has to put enough experienced candidates up for election to ensure that the Conservatives win, and the clocks are ticking.
While I enjoy the schadenfreude as much as (if not more than) most on this board, I am realistic enough to know that only a Conservative government can dislodge the hoons currently in charge. Cameron has played a blinder so far, but he must not get caught up in a war of attrition against his own side. If he does – he is only serving the McBroon's ends.
As an example, suppose Nicholas Winterton was asked to resign. (I'm not suggesting he would have to – but he is a good example of a long term backbencher, and he has been suggested here as a contender, rightly or wrongly) . He has been MP for Macclesfield for over 30 years, and is a good constituency mp, with a high local profile. Imagine the resentment of party workers who have known him this long, if they are asked to deselect him and take on some cameroonian replacement at short notice. This applies anywhere in the shires – they are true blue, but not overkeen on being told what to do by etonian pups who were at prep school while they were out canvassing for the Grocer.
So far, Camerons has juggled his balls well! Let's hope he doesn't drop one, which reminds me are Ed and Yvette going to climax tomorrow?
Dave doesn't have to impose anybody on the local parties. Just like this MacKay bloek and his missus I like to think that thelocal party will be as pissed off as hell about the atrocious money-grubbing antics of their MP and deselect him and replace him/her with another from amongst their number. I'm sure there is some kind of succession planning in all these local constituencies in any case. There'll surely be a chairman/woman or some obvious candidate. Several probably.
No need to get pissed off with Cameron as long as Cameron doesn't do what Labour seems fond of doing ie parachute in the children of their grand old party faithful.
Let the local party associations select their own candidates. There always seems to be a surplus of people wanting to become MP.
Yes, let them weigh the degree of 'troughing' against everything else they know aobut their sitting MP. No doubt some will survive and some will get the heave-ho. Part of the problem is that MPs have been encouraged esp under the current regime ie Speaker to think of expenses as a sort of hidden salary top-up rather than as expenses in the sense the rest of us (and the IR) understand the term
There are plenty of people willing to serve their country, the trouble is they never get through the "one of us" test. In our town the test is:
1. Member of the Lodge.
2. Pliant to the wishes of the Hoteliers, Nursing Home owners, Restauranteurs, Property Developers, and Landlords who decide what is good for the Town. Local interests come bottom of the list as all the above have filled their establishments with Africans and Poles. Vacancies filled by agencies operating in their countries of origin. The same sort out immigration papers etc. Jobs are not advertised locally.
3. Pliant to local association wishes.
4. Mustn't give a fuck about the local population.
The answer as I have pointed out to my local MP, now one of DC's inner circle, is a root and branch clear out of the freeloaders and me-firsts in the Conservative party. I want to be able to read through Private Eye without raging at the corruption going on throughout this country and thinking does the C Central Office not realise how much damage this drip drip drip of mean, cheap scams being carried out by Conservative councils does to the party's reputation.
Leave the cover ups and party-first line to the Reds.
Clean out the augean stable that is the Conservative party in the shires and there will be plenty of candidates. Good, clean, candidates who are willing to put their country first instead of third.
And yes I voted Tory last time and always have done. In comparison with the local branches of the Liberal and Labour party, the local Conservative branch smells of roses. But that is no excuse for complacency, our shit still stinks.
The only solution to the problems you mention is for non-pliant people, with their world view and trouser legs fully extended, to join up en-masse, and effect change from within. This has been a great topic with plenty of good points – I'm glad I started it, though I was a bit afraid I would be demolished for my presumption.
De-selection on a massive scale across all the parties would be great news for UK democracy (what is left of it).
With the worst of the troughers out on the dole, we would get an unprecedented intake of new untainted blood in the Hof C at the next election. Maybe we might actually get some MPs who listen to our concerns and defend our interests.
Oh, sorry I think I am now getting delusional.
Got to say, the conservatives do assassination pretty well
'ConHome polled…' – This is just inaccurate, they haven't 'polled' people at all.
They have allowed a self-selecting sample to press some buttons. If they had phoned a representative sample up, then many more people who wanted him to stay, or who couldn't give a fuck either way might have been identified.
It is self-evidently a sample of ConservativeHome readers. Your point is?
Guido – what do you reckon we've got coming tonight?
The dog needs walking. He's had his legs crossed for a week.
Poll the grassroots of any of the Parties and this will be the result.
Overwhelming disgust and a desire to get rid ot the troughers.
Exactly how motivated do you think Party workers will be for any Election leafleting or footsoldier graft now ?
They know what the public think about all this and they also know that all the after the fact damage control will have a limited success at best.
And unlike the MP's they can't hide in a Second Home and hope it all blows over. The MP's will be a liability in the street so they will leave it up to the Local Party Workers to face the Voters wrath. That will not go down well. At all.
I'm surprised that percentage was as low as 82% TBH.
This is not new, this is from 2006
MPs are claiming twice as much in expenses for their second homes as most families spend on their only home. Some 610 out of 659 MPs claimed Additional Costs Allowance in 2004-05, and the average claim was £17,852. Nearly 200 MPs claimed the maximum amount of £20,902. Some MPs are believed to be using the mortgage allowance to buy a third or fourth property, it is meant to help them to pay for a home in their constituency.
David Blunkett, the former Work and Pensions Secretary, claimed £75,363 for his second home in Sheffield, nearly the maximum available over the period from 2001 to 2005. Interest payments on his £10,000 mortgage, taken out in March 1988, were £650 a year. His band B property would be charged £988 in council tax; gas, water and electricity bills would average at about £1,100. The modest outgoings suggest a "black hole" of £64,327, it has been claimed.
Ruth Kelly, the Education Secretary, has been accused of claiming £72,000 to cover utility bills and interest payments that she makes on her mortgage for her constituency home near Bolton. John Prescott, the Deputy Prime Minister, Geoff Hoon, Leader of the Commons, and Margaret Beckett, the Environment Secretary, all live in grace-and-favour apartments. Despite this, they have claimed more than £60,000 of taxpayers' money over four years to furnish and pay interest on constituency homes.
Norman Baker, a Liberal Democrat MP, has written to the Senior Salaries Advisory Body demanding that it stop ministers from claiming mortgage payments if they live in free accommodation and that it halt payments to any MP who has three or more properties. (Source: Times Online, Apr/06)
Very interesting point. So what's different now? Did the fall of McBride show that there was a way round the Maginot line of Campbell, Draper and Mandelson?
Blair was still Pm. Time to move on. Lookforward. Face the challenges. Work to be done. Plus yep, that's when McBide et al were telling the papers what to print.
The Telegraph is late in redeeming itself but it has to be the best 300K they ever spent. If indeed they actually paid up. You can bet Jacqui Smith will have MI5 looking to see who a 300K cheque was made payable to from The Telegraph. Or who recently cashed one that's employed by the Fees Office.
Old Purple Face himself will be egging her on. They've got form over colluding in political arrests.
BENEFIT CHEATS: WE'RE CLOSING IN ON YOU! (thanks to the Telegraph and Guido).
I feel a Nicolae Ceauşescu moment coming on.
Can anyone tell me how the one eyed Scottish twat is managing to avoid calling an election ? Yes, you CAN hold on 5 years between shouts, but traditionally it's 4, so he should be calling one now anyway. It just rude, that is.
Fucking useless, I honestly beleive he is deliberately ruining the country thinking that when the rightful heir takes his place, the mess will be so horrible, people will get fed up and vote Liebour back in like the shining knights of salvation.
I live in Spain at the moment, but I swear if was was back in the UK I would HAVE to go to Parliament and shout abuse.
Bunch of arse, it really is.
Last time it went on nearly the full five was with Callaghan in 1979, though he had to bail out a tad early as his majority was eroded by sitting Labour MPs being carried out feet first after being stretchered in for 3 line whips, and the defection of the SNP, who Callaghan referred to as "Turkeys voting for an early Christmas". That's why McBroon can't cut a swathe through the troughers and deprive them of the whip (though he is in a better position than Labour in 1979 with regards to his absolute majority). And the same goes for Cameron, though to a lesser extent.
Sorry – the Major government bailed out even later in the cycle. Must have blanked that out through post-traumatic shock. Still – the Gotterdamerung atmosphere then will give no comfort to the McBroon.
Nice tan though but.
lt's simple would you put an unmasked fox back in the henrun?
Dooooooh…..I am such a Silly Old Hector!
My wife tells me that all the time, fellow Party supporters!
She says "Darling….you really are such a Si-ll-y Bi-ll-y, you really need to spend more time looking after some of your own affairs rather than spending all of your time trying to help all those poor people around us as you do.
Tsk Tsk…I bet your expenses claims are ALL in a mess by now…
Dear, dear….what are we to do with you?"
De-selection seems fair enough BUT there really must be scope for awarding those so shafted peerages later and hence the chance to return to public life and high office/expense claims.
It would be the right thing to do. (And would provide cover for other peerage awards for those whose contribution to society (and Party funds, allegedly) merits such distinction.)
This is a day for which we have all blogged and begged for a long long time.
We should be giving ourselves a collective pat on the back that at long last the penny has dropped with The Great British Public.
The dam has burst and the rotten corrosive system will never be the same again!
We all have helped do it by following the NETWORK movie lesson from the late great Peter Finch, throwing open our windows and yelling at the top of our voices:
…and now we won't have to.
Clare Short is outed
Two phrases come to mind.
'Money laundering'
'Asset forfeiture'
Good enough for the rest of us, good enough for them
Now that Mackay's dealt with, time to switch targets; look at : Those Dangling Balls
Shortly, the DT will "shed light on MPs who are married to other MPs".
Can't wait
Just how much shit can the population have thrown in their faces before they boil over?
Good point – although the gormless and gullible muppets: –
– accepted an illegal war on false pretences and that made their own security more fragile,
– were told they "could" have an apology but weren't worth one, and
– responded by rewarding the alleged war criminal perpetrators with a fresh term in office to carry on failing to reform public services and failing to repair the roof before the financial storms came.
Who would have thought they would care about a few £ for baubles and perquisites?
What about Maude. He should go too.
Sack the lot of lem and start again, then call a general election.
Just been in my local pub. This subject arose. I have never witnessed such loathing of politicians – unbelievable – but oh, I enjoyed it!
Thieving bastards the lot of them,
England, glorious England, has at last found its voice.
Watch Beckett get a kicking on Question Time tonight – "after that mealy mouthed answer Mrs Beckett are you going to pay back the £72,000 you claimed ?"
Now I know how being part of a lynch mob feels ! The anger was electric !
What about his wife? It's very conservative to take the fall for one's wife but they were in on it together. Maybe it shows that Tories still aren't comfortable with the equality of women…
Please can someone explain why Hattie Harperson doesn't call Plod in to do a bit of collar-feeling?
Deselected? Imprisoned. These people are CRIMINALS. Such scum go to goal.
Mr and Mrs
Andrew,how would describe your wife's attitude to money?
She's a thieving slapper who's had her fingers in the till for years'
Julie,how would you descibe your husband's attitude to money?
He's a corrupt lying twat who's been ripping off the taxpayer shamelessly.
[…] contrition once they're caught? Small wonder, then, that the readers of ConservativeHome have turned on Mackay in their droves, and Labourhome is pondering whether the party should deselect the MPs who are […]
Today, Friday, a domestic seems to be developing between Julie McBride and Andrew McKay (aka Mr and Mrs).
Yes, both are greedy, but if we believe Ms McBride, Mr McKay is the evil one of the two. "He has a lot of answering to do," she says.
Despicable politicians fighting like rats in a sack to protect individual interests – despite being married? Maybe.
But I'm inclined to believe Julie Kirkbride's defence that her husband is a rat. I could never understand why she married such a creep in the first place.

Brady took his dad ice fishing bright and early last Sunday morning. Larry (pops) is from Illinois and he LOVES to fish. But, like pretty much everyone not from Minnesota, he had never tried the frozen version of the sport before.
So Saturday night as the guys laid out their fishing gear and packed up layers of clothes in preparation for the 5:30am start the next day, I (naturally) pondered different foods they could take with them on their big excursion to the frozen lake.
And that's when I came up with this blueberry muesli bread!! I had yet to try a muesli bread and an ice fishing trip seemed like the perfect opportunity. This bread is hearty, totally satisfying, not greasy but still super moist, and unlike some breads I've made, it tastes just as good if not better long after it has come out of the oven. So Sunday morning, the guys wrapped up a gigantic stack of thick slices and not a crumb returned home with them! After they had left, I found a couple of slices reserved in the pan (thank god!!) which I reheated and devoured warm with a thin spread of coconut oil, though you really don't need anything with it. Enjoy!
Recipe: Blueberry Muesli Bread
Makes 8-10 slices
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 cup Bircher muesli
¾ cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 ½ plain yogurt (I used Greek)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup blueberries (I used frozen)
Preheat oven to 350ᵒ F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat yogurt, oil and eggs well. Slowly add dry ingredients. Then fold in blueberries. Pour the batter into a greased bread pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Enjoy your morning,

Great Performances
National Theatre: 50 Years On StageSeries Website »

From bizarre border policies to the forced deportation of ethnic groups, Stalin oversaw the policies that gave rise to today's Central Asian strife.
Eighty-one-year-old Nikolai Khasig was born in Sukhumi in 1932. It was just one year after Soviet dictator Josef Stalin stripped Abkhazia of its short-lived status as a full-fledged republic of the USSR and made it a region of Soviet Georgia.
At the end of 1936, Lavrenty Beria -- at that time the head of the Transcaucasia region and later the sadistic head of Stalin's secret police -- invited the popular Abkhaz leader Nestor Lakoba to dinner at his house in Tbilisi. Lakoba died suddenly -- officially, of a heart attack, but it was widely believed that the former revolutionary comrade of Stalin's had been poisoned.
In the repressions that began in 1937, the entire Abkhaz government was arrested and subjected to show trials. Soviet archives later revealed that Beria had ordered them all executed before the trials even began. Collectivization came to Abkhazia with a vengeance. Soviet publications began arguing that the Abkhaz were actually of Georgian origin in the first place.
"Such violence, such humiliation, such abuse, such genocide," Khasig recalls. "Our people never experienced such things before."
In a sense, World War II was something of a respite, but the work begun in the 1930s continued as soon as the war was over. By that time, Khasig was in high school.
"In 1945, after the end of the war, Abkhaz schools were shut down and the policy of forced assimilation was begun," he says. "Our children -- we ourselves -- studied in the Georgian language and didn't know a single word [of Abkhaz]. We were simply cut off."
When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, all this old resentment and more surged to the surface.
In 1992, war broke out in Abkhazia -- with Abkhaz separatists joined in their struggle by representatives of other aggrieved Caucasus nations such as Chechens, Circassians, Ossetians, and Cossacks.
The Abkhaz were also actively supported by the Russian military. An estimated 8,000 people were killed and as many as 240,000 ethnic Georgians were displaced.
After the 2008 war between Russia and Georgia, Abkhazia's de facto independence was recognized by Russia and a handful of other countries. Georgia and most of the international community says the region is occupied by Russia. Khasig, despairingly, describes Abkhazia as "a Russian colony."
Bizarre Border Policies, Wholesale Deportations
The guns of war flared elsewhere as well in the former Soviet Union in the early 1990s. And these similar ethnic conflicts, many of which were exacerbated by Soviet polices six decades earlier, have come to be called "Stalin's time bombs."
Such conflicts, spanning from Central Europe to the intricate patchwork of exclaves that comprises the borders of Central Asia, are in many ways direct legacies of the shifting nationalities policies that were often brutally implemented during the nearly 30 years that Stalin towered over the Soviet Union.
These disputed places include the disputed ethnic-Armenian region of Azerbaijan called Nagorno-Karabakh, Russia's North Caucasus republic of Chechnya, its neighboring republics, and the breakaway Moldovan region of Transdniester.
From bizarre border policies and the wholesale deportation of ethnic groups to the mass importation of ethnic Russians to various regions, Stalin's policies created or aggravated conflicts that remain central to understanding Eurasia today.
Under Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin -- and later in the early years of Stalin's rule -- the Soviet government argued that nationalism was the bane of the imperial system. They tried to develop policies that would transform the multinational Eurasian space into a unified Soviet, socialist state.
"It was only by transforming the economic and social bases -- and the cultural basis, because [Stalin] paid a lot of attention to that -- of the nationalities that they would become fully integrated into a single socialist state," says Stephen Blank, a professor of national security studies at the U.S. Army War College and the author of a book on Stalin's time as Soviet nationalities commissar. "And the overwhelming thrust of his policies [was] to create that centralized, socialist system and that, he believed, would answer the nationalities problem."

Certain Autoimmune Drugs in Pregnancy May Up Newborn Infection Risk: Study
Posted 3 Oct 2014 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Oct. 3, 2014 – When given to pregnant women, a common treatment for ulcerative colitis may inadvertently lower their baby's ability to fight off infections at birth, new French research suggests. The treatment, called anti-TNF therapy, is an injected, artificial antibody. This type of medication is widely seen as a safe and effective way to tackle a wide range of autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel conditions that include ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. It's not unusual for pregnant women to receive the treatment, given that inflammatory bowel diseases often strike women of childbearing age. However, this type of drug can cross the placenta and reach the fetus, the study authors said. And four French cases – all involving babies born to women exposed to Remicade (infliximab) during pregnancy – suggest the therapy may cause newborn ... Read more

Popular Crohn's, Colitis Drugs Not Linked to Short-Term Cancer Risk: Study
Posted 18 Jun 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, June 18, 2014 – A popular class of drugs used to treat inflammatory bowel disease isn't linked to an increase in the short-term risk of cancer, Danish researchers report. Researchers found that people with Crohn's disease or colitis who received the drugs – tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) antagonists – had about the same risk of cancer as other people with these inflammatory bowel diseases who were not treated with the medication. The drugs work by interrupting the function of TNF-a, a substance used by the immune system to increase inflammation. "Treatment with these drugs inhibits the inflammatory response in the gastrointestinal tract thereby leading to reduced symptoms," said lead author Dr. Nynne Nyboe Andersen of the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen. The problem is that TNF-a also serves a key role in protecting the body against cancer, raising concerns that ... Read more

Drug Shows Promise for People With Colitis, Crohn's Disease
Posted 21 Aug 2013 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 21 – An experimental drug may help some people who have inflammatory bowel disease that has failed to respond to current medications, two new clinical trials find. The drug, called vedolizumab, is being developed to treat the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) – ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Both arise when the immune system launches an abnormal attack on the lining of the digestive tract, leading to chronic inflammation and symptoms such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea and rectal bleeding. In the new trials, reported in the Aug. 22 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers found that vedolizumab worked in some cases where standard IBD medications had failed. The drug was more effective for colitis than for Crohn's, however, and an expert not involved in the studies said he suspects vedolizumab might be approved for colitis ... Read more

Study Finds No Tie Between Acne Drug Accutane and Crohn's, Colitis
Posted 20 Feb 2013 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 20 – A new study counters the notion that the prescription acne drug Accutane raises the risk of Crohn's disease or colitis in women. The study of more than 45,000 women found no such link between Accutane (isotretinoin) use and these illnesses, which are collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). One expert not connected to the study called it a "welcome review." "There has been a lot of speculation and even litigation that Accutane causes inflammatory bowel disease," said Dr. Michele Green, a dermatologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "Dermatologists have been discouraged from using Accutane and the makers of Accutane have discontinued their production due to countless lawsuits," she noted, but "this study once again highlights the safety of Accutane." Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the most common forms of IBD, a group of ... Read more

Gene Study Yields New Clues to Crohn's Disease, Colitis
Posted 31 Oct 2012 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 31 – Scientists say research into the genetics of inflammatory bowel disease – which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis – is revealing new insights into the origin of this set of illnesses. The researchers said they have linked genetic variations in 163 regions of the human genome with a heightened risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Of those regions, 71 are newly discovered. IBD comprises a group of chronic, autoimmune digestive disorders that affect 2.5 million people worldwide. Symptoms include abdominal pain and diarrhea and patients typically require lifelong treatment with drug therapy. Many also require surgery to repair tissue damage caused by the disease. In this study, researchers analyzed data from about 34,000 people who took part in 15 previous studies of either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. They also examined data ... Read more

Antibiotics in Childhood May Increase Bowel Disease Risk: Study
Posted 24 Sep 2012 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Sept. 24 – Use of certain antibiotics may put children at higher risk for developing bowel diseases, new research has found. The earlier children take antibiotics and the more they take, the higher the risk of later developing the inflammatory bowel diseases known as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the researchers found. "There appears to be a 'dose response' effect," said Dr. Matt Kronman, assistant professor of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. "The more antibiotics children took, the more their risk increased." Earlier studies had suggested a link between bowel disease and antibiotics use, but most of those studies had limitations. The new study, published online Sept. 24 in the journal Pediatrics, looked at data on more than 1 million children 17 years old or younger in nearly 500 health practices ... Read more

Travel to High Altitudes Tied to Crohn's, Colitis Flare-Ups
Posted 25 May 2012 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, May 25 – People with inflammatory bowel disease, which includes Crohn's disease and colitis, may be at increased risk for flare-ups when they fly or travel to high altitudes for skiing or mountain climbing, a new study suggests. This complications affected patients with either Crohn's disease (which typically involves the small intestine) or ulcerative colitis (which typically involves the large intestine and rectum), but the risk appears to be higher in those with Crohn's disease, the researchers found. The study included 103 patients who were seen at inflammatory bowel disease clinics in Switzerland. The 52 patients with flares and the 51 patients who were in remission were asked about their activities during the previous month. Overall, patients with flares had made many more frequent flights or trips to areas above 6,500 feet. The study was to be presented Monday at the ... Read more

Birth Control Pills, HRT Tied to Digestive Ills
Posted 21 May 2012 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, May 21 – The use of oral contraceptives by younger women or hormone therapy by older women may be linked with inflammatory bowel disease, new research indicates. Birth control pills are associated with a higher risk for Crohn's disease, said researcher Dr. Hamed Khalili, a clinical and research fellow of gastroenterology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Crohn's causes inflammation of the lining and wall of the large or small intestine, or both. The lining can become so inflamed it bleeds. Hormone replacement therapy taken by some women after menopause is linked with ulcerative colitis, the study found. It is a disease of the colon (large intestine) or rectum. It causes diarrhea, abdominal cramping and rectal bleeding. Khalili presented the findings Sunday at the Digestive Disease Week meeting, in San Diego. Of the two links they found, Khalili said, the association ... Read more

Diagnostic Scans Tied to Radiation Risk for Gastro Patients
Posted 6 Apr 2012 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, April 6 – Patients with digestive disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease may be exposed to significant levels of radiation from diagnostic imaging tests, a new study suggests. Irish researchers analyzed data from 2,590 patients with gastrointestinal disorders between 1999 and 2009, and found that 57 percent of them had undergone diagnostic imaging tests such as computed tomography (CT) imaging. Higher yearly and total levels of diagnostic radiation exposure were seen in patients with such conditions as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, fatty liver disease and benign liver cysts, as well as in younger patients with irritable bowel syndrome and unexplained abdominal pain syndrome. The study appears in the April 1 online edition of the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. "Our results show that significant increases in radiation exposure in the last ... Read more

Tropical Trip OK for Most With Crohn's, Colitis

FRIDAY, Jan. 27 – Among people with inflammatory bowel disease – a chronic intestinal disorder that commonly takes the form of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis – those who travel to developing nations or tropical locales do not have a greater risk of intestinal infections than other travelers, according to a new study. Researchers in Israel concluded that patients with inflammatory bowel disease who have not had symptoms for at least three months actually should be encouraged to travel. They noted, however, that compared with people who don't have the condition, inflammatory bowel disease patients have a greater risk for illness when visiting industrialized countries. "Inflammatory bowel disease patients are often advised to avoid travel, especially to the developing world. However, we found that the absolute risk of illness is small and most episodes were mild," the study's ... Read more

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Less Common in Sunny States
Posted 12 Jan 2012 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Jan. 12 – People who live in sunnier regions of the United States are less likely to develop inflammatory bowel disease, a new study says. The findings support previous European research and could lead to new types of treatment and preventive measures, the study authors said. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which can be extremely painful and require surgery. The causes of IBD remain largely unknown. In this study, researchers analyzed long-term data collected from 238,000 participants in the Nurses' Health Study I and the Nurses' Health Study II, which were launched in 1976 and 1989, respectively. None of the participants had inflammatory bowel disease at the start of the studies. Compared to participants who lived in northern areas of the United States, those living in southern areas were 52 percent less likely to develop ... Read more

As Nations Develop, So May Bowel Disease
Posted 7 Jan 2012 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Jan. 6 – Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is becoming more common around the world, according to a new study. Researchers who analyzed data from all population-based studies about the incidence and/or prevalence of IBD found that the rate of new cases is increasing or stable in virtually every region of the world that has been studied. Canada and Europe had the highest number of cases, while Asia had a lower prevalence, the investigators found. IBD has been rare in developing nations, but incidence of the disease has increased as these countries become more industrialized, according to study lead author Dr. Gilaad Kaplan, of the University of Calgary, and colleagues. IBD includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn's involves inflammation and ulceration in the deep layers of the intestinal wall. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss and occasional ... Read more

Chronic Bowel Disease Drugs Linked to Skin Cancer Risk
Posted 23 Nov 2011 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Nov. 22 – Some patients with inflammatory bowel disease may be at increased risk for skin cancer due to their use of immunosuppressant drugs to treat the intestinal disorder, according to the results of two new studies. The studies, published in the November issue of the journal Gastroenterology, noted that immunosuppressants are commonly used to treat patients with inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD. Currently, there are no specific recommendations for skin cancer screening in IBD patients. In one study, French researchers led by Dr. Laurent Peyrin-Biroulet, of University Hospital of Nancy, found that both past and present use of a widely used class of immunosuppressants called thiopurines significantly increased the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer in irritable bowel disease patients. "The increased risk of skin cancer that we found in our study was observed in all patients, ... Read more

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Tied to Higher Risk of Post-Op Blood Clots
Posted 20 Oct 2011 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Oct. 20 – Researchers report that following surgery, people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be at increased risk for blood clots known as deep vein thromboses and pulmonary embolisms. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a deep vein in the thigh or leg – it's best known as "economy-class syndrome," after cases that occurred in passengers on long-haul flights. DVTs can travel to the lungs and lead to dangerous clots there known as pulmonary embolisms (PE). "An increased risk of DVT and PE in patients with IBD has been evident for the past 75 years," co-authors Dr. Andrea Merrill of Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Frederick Millham of Newton-Wellesley Hospital, both in Boston, wrote in the study published in the Oct. 17 online edition of the journal Archives of Surgery. However, they added that "most work in this area has not looked specifically at ... Read more
