Bowel Cancer Breakthrough May Benefit Thousands of Patients
Researchers at Queen's University have made a significant breakthrough that may benefit patients with bowel cancer.
Dr Sandra van Schaeybroeck and her team have discovered how two genes cause bowel cancer cells to become resistant to treatments used against the disease. The research, which was funded by Cancer Research UK, was published this month in the prestigious international journal Cell Reports.
The activity of the two genes, called MEK and MET, was uncovered when the researchers looked at all the different pathways and interactions taking place in bowel cancer cells.
Dr van Schaeybroeck and her group found that these bowel cancers switch on a survival mechanism when they are treated with drugs that target faulty MEK genes. But when the researchers added drugs that also block the MET gene, the bowel cancer cells died. The team are now testing a new approach to target these two genes in the most aggressive forms of bowel cancer in a European Commission funded clinical trial that is being led by Dr van Schaeybroeck.
Currently over 40,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK each year and over 16,000 patients die of the disease. More than half of patients develop the aggressive form of the disease which does not respond to standard therapy, the five year overall survival in this patient group is less than five per cent.
Study author Dr Sandra van Schaeybroeck, from the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology (CCRCB) at Queen's University, said: "We have discovered how two key genes contribute to aggressive bowel cancer. Understanding how they are involved in development of the disease has also primed the development of a potential new treatment approach for this disease."
Queen's University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Patrick Johnston, said: "Understanding the genes that cause bowel cancer is a key focus of our research. Our discoveries in this deadly disease have identified a new route to clinical application for cancer patients."
Professor David Waugh, Director of the CCRCB at Queen's, said: "The publication of this research by Dr van Schaeybroeck and her team demonstrates our commitment to performing excellent science here in Belfast that can be directly translated to the clinic."
The clinical trial, which is called MErCuRIC and is due to start in September, will deliver personalised medicine to Northern Irish patients and patients from other European countries. Overall, the pan European collaborative effort will involving 13 research/clinical teams from nine European countries.
Scientists at the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology have been awarded a £126,000 grant by blood cancer charity Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research for research to improve treatments for blood cancer patients.
The two year research project will be led by Professor Ken Mills, Dr Kienan Savage, Professor Mary Frances McMullin and Dr Fabio Liberante. They will develop new treatments that are more effective at seeking out and destroying abnormal white blood cells.
The research will focus on a genetic fault found in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). MDS is a group of blood disorders where the balance of healthy blood cells in the body is disrupted by the growth of 'master' cells. Patients with these types of disease are usually elderly and are often unable to cope with intensive treatment like chemotherapy.
Professor Mills said: "Several genetic abnormalities have been connected with MDS but we don't know their role in the onset or progression of the disease. In particular a gene called SF3B1 is known to be mutated in the blood cells of around a third of patients with MDS. As many as 85% of patients with a type of MDS called refractory anaemia with ring sideroblasts (RARS) have the error. The ultimate aim of our research is to improve treatment for patients with MDS, particularly RARS, by identifying a specific drug that can target this SF3B1 mutation."
The researchers will study this particular genetic fault and use cutting-edge genetic techniques to identify exactly how the mutated SF3B1 gene influences the development of MDS. They will look at how the abnormal SF3B1 affects the ability of the cell to repair damaged DNA, how this impairment influences disease progression, and whether it's possible to block it with drugs.
Dr Matt Kaiser, Head of Research at Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, said: "The majority of patients diagnosed with MDS are over the age of 60 and most are unable to cope with the current treatments available. This research shed light on how a genetic error in SF3B1 affects blood cell development and behaviour. Improving treatments and tailoring them to target specific rogue cells will enable a safer and more effective way of combating the disease for patients."
Dr Kienan Savage
Cancer researchers at Queen's University Belfast have made a breakthrough which could signal new treatments for women at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
Currently around one in 1,000 women in the UK carry what is known as a BRCA1 mutation - the same condition that prompted well-known actress Angelina Jolie to undergo a double mastectomy. They have up to an 85 per cent risk of developing breast cancer, and up to 40 per cent risk of developing ovarian cancer, in their lifetimes.
Until now, preventive surgery - mastectomy (breasts) and oophorectomy (ovaries) - has been the only way of reducing the risk of developing both types of cancers.
The new discovery by researchers in Queen's Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology (CCRCB) may mean women affected with BRCA1 could use drugs, which are already available, to reduce their risk of developing the disease, rather than undergo irreversible surgery. In turn, such treatments would open up the possibility of some of these women, who might otherwise have an oophorectomy, still being able to have children.
The new research by Dr Kienan Savage and Professor Paul Harkin at CCRCB proves there is a direct link between high levels of oestrogen and DNA damage, which causes cancer, in the breasts and ovaries. Specifically, the scientists discovered that the cells of women with the BRCA1 mutation cannot effectively fight the very high levels of oestrogen that exist in all women's breasts and ovaries, leaving them vulnerable to DNA damage. While this link between oestrogen, breast/ovarian cancer and BRCA1 mutation has been suspected by the scientific community for years, it has not been proven until now.
Dr Kienan Savage, from the CCRCB, and who led the research, said: "This discovery is very significant in the management of women with the BRCA1 gene mutation. It's the first really credible evidence that oestrogen is driving cancer in women with a BRCA1 gene mutation. Because of this discovery, we now have the opportunity to propose an alternative treatment to surgery. It also opens up the possibility of pausing treatment for a period in order for women to have children, if desired.
"What also makes this exciting is that there are drugs already on the market which turn off oestrogen production. In theory, we could use these drugs to chemically reduce oestrogen production in women which could negate the need for irreversible surgery."
The Queen's-led research, which has been ongoing for four years, was carried out with funding from Cancer Focus NI and Cancer Research UK. It is carried in the latest edition of the prestigious USA-based journal Cancer Research.
Professor David Waugh, Director of the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology at Queen's, said: "This breakthrough by researchers at CCRCB is great news for women with the BRCA1 gene and the cancer research community as a whole. It is pivotal in that it reveals more about the mechanisms behind breast and ovarian cancer.
"This work of Dr Kienan Savage and Professor Paul Harkin is further example of the world-leading research being undertaken at Queen's which continues to advance knowledge and change lives."
Roisin Foster, Chief Executive, Cancer Focus Northern Ireland, said: "Cancer Focus is delighted to fund this ground-breaking research into breast cancer, which has the potential in the forseeable future to benefit women all over the world. We are only able to support this vital work because of the generosity of our local community."
The researchers are currently seeking funding to launch clinical trials and hope to do so within 12 months. It is envisaged that, in the first instance, a small control trial will be carried out using a combination of two drugs on 12 women for a period of three months, using biopsy, blood and urine samples to track DNA damage.

Queen's University Belfast has announced it is to partner with the University of Manchester to form the first regional Movember Centre of Excellence in the fight against prostate cancer.
The radical development is in partnership with Prostate Cancer UK and the Movember Foundation and will see an investment of £5 million over a five-year period across Belfast and Manchester.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among males in the UK with 40,000 new diagnoses every year. Comprising an outstanding team of internationally recognised scientists from across different disciplines, the key focus of the Belfast-Manchester hub will be improving outcomes for men with advanced disease. The funding will ensure that lab breakthroughs are translated into clinical benefits as quickly as possible. The Belfast-Manchester nexus will also include the Manchester-based Christie NHS Foundation Trust, the largest single-site cancer centre in Europe. A second Centre of Excellence will be located in London and will also receive £5 million over five years.
The two Centres were selected after a rigorous, international peer-review process. To qualify for funding, lead scientists had to prove strong, international track records and their teams needed to demonstrate existing or planned cross-discipline collaborations between basic and clinical scientists.
Over the five-year programme, researchers in Belfast and Manchester will identify men at high risk of aggressive disease, and find which patients respond best to various treatment options – an approach often referred to as 'personalised medicine'. Cancer specialists will also work on refining new and existing treatments such as radiotherapy to improve how well they work for advanced prostate cancer, including cancer that has spread to the bones. The Belfast-Manchester Centre will bring in expertise from outside of prostate cancer, using insights from the latest research into other cancers including melanoma, breast and lung.
Professor David Waugh, Director of the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology at Queen's, is one of two Scientific Co-Directors of the Centre, alongside Professor Richard Marais, Director of the CRUK Manchester Institute.
Prof Waugh said: "The Belfast-Manchester Centre of Excellence provides a rare opportunity to bring together an international team of experts in radiation, biomarker discovery, genetic modelling and tumour biology who will use their individual talents in a collective and focused manner to make significant discoveries to benefit and extend the lives of men with prostate cancer.
"The scale and duration of funding available through the programme enables clinicians and scientists to tackle major clinical problems and more importantly, the longer timeframe also enables the team to ensure that our scientific progress has a clear clinical line-of-sight, and that we can begin to apply this new knowledge into clinical practice – resulting in more immediate benefits for those affected.
"I am extremely excited about what we can achieve."
Professor Joe O'Sullivan, chair of radiotherapy development and clinical lead for radiotherapy at the Northern Ireland Cancer Centre and Chair of the Uro-Oncology Multidisciplinary Team at the Belfast Trust will be one of two Clinical Co-Directors of the Centre.
Prof O'Sullivan said: "I am extremely excited about the prospect of working with a team of world class researchers and those who are bringing their expertise from outside prostate cancer research in to the field for the first time.
"Through this research programme we have the opportunity to increase the speed of clinical advances by taking a fresh approach to prostate cancer research involving state of the art technology and a genuine collaborative approach."
Movember UK Country Manager Sarah Coghlan said the Centres of Excellence scheme was "one of the most significant and exciting milestones for the Movember Foundation and prostate cancer research in the UK".
She continued: "We're bringing the best in the research world together for a sustained period to have a real impact and to develop real understanding of how to fight this disease.
"These Movember Centres of Excellence are the first of their kind in the UK focussed on prostate cancer and they represent the Movember Foundation's commitment to having an everlasting impact on the face of men's health. We salute every one of the Mo Bros and Mo Sistas in the UK. This wouldn't be possible without them."
In addition to the funding from Movember, the HSC R&D Division of the Public Health Agency has contributed an additional £500,000 to the Centre. It will be used to fund two key posts within the Northern Ireland Cancer Centre – a research radiographer and a post-doctoral research scientist.
Dr Janice Bailie, Assistant Director of the HSC R&D Division at the Public Health Agency said: "I am delighted that we will partner with Movember/Prostate Cancer UK to support the Belfast arm of this new Centre of Excellence in translational prostate cancer research.
"I believe this project has the potential to bring significant benefits to those living with prostate cancer in Northern Ireland and beyond. The Movember award recognises the strong track record in prostate cancer research in Belfast and Manchester, and this investment from HSC R&D Division will further enhance the already close working relationship between the Northern Ireland Cancer Centre in Belfast Health and Social Care Trust and the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology at Queen's University Belfast." Professor Richard Marais of the CRUK Manchester Institute, part of the University of Manchester, said: "We have established a unique collaboration that will bring together knowledge and insights from across different cancers and disciplines, which will enable us to tackle some of the complexities still surrounding this disease from a new perspective.
"Crucially, by working in partnership we also hope to increase the speed at which lab breakthroughs reach the man in the clinic and have a direct impact on patient outcomes."

I have an adopted dog that came from a vet hospital that was looking for someone to take an elderly mans dog. The owner had to go into a nursing home and of course he was not allowed to take the dog with him. She is a Shiba Inu crossed with a Mini Dachsund and her favorite sport is killing mice. When I ask if she has to go potty she will run to the front door if she has to go and then she does her thing and comes right back in.
Normally if it is raining she will look out the door and if it is raining she looks up at me as if to say I can hold it for a while till it stops raining. Last night it snowed seven inches and I opened the door to show her the snow and she could not wait to run out. She has a Shiba Inu curly tail and thick neck combined with dachsund ears which she can hold up like large fox ears and only half as tall as a Shiba Inu. After running around for an hour and a half it got to the point where the snow was up to her chest and she had to leap to get through the snow. Shiba Inu's come from Japan and have a fairly thick coat and she did not even act like it was cold. It was so fun to watch her as she leaped and played in the snow while her license got clogged with snow and became silent so that she could run up on us without us hearing her first. Finally after an hour and a half it was time to go to bed so I brought her in and she quickly dropped off to sleep. She is now twelve years old and she was not even sore the next day. Lance |

Lucky you to witness such joy! I am a strong believer in the benefits of adopting older dogs. Those who would never consider making a place in their homes for any other than a new puppy can be missing out on some wonderful companions. Good for you, Lance! Anne |
Good for you. I just love dogs, and it sounds like you found a good one. Sammy |
Give her lots of TLC. She probably misses her first owner and needs to transition into your life, although it sounds as if she is well on her way. I am happy for you. As soon as I retire, I will rescue some hound myself. |
Dearest Lance, I have always known you were truly kind and a wonderful person to call friend. This just proves how kind and loving you are!! I would love to see a picture of this very special dog you adopted...she sounds so cute! I can only imagine the sight of her holding up those big ole ears....tooo sweet. Deb |
Sounds like a neat dog, do you have any pics? I'm not familiar with Shiba Inu. Carla |
Lance, what's her name? And if your little hunter does moles, could she stay here a few days :) I'm sure she'd look really cute with Gracie the Great Dane across the street. |
There's nothing quite like watching pets in snow. Sounds like the dog has found a second excellent master. Congrats to both. Ann |

What a great dog! I got my mini dachshund the same way this summer - the previous owner had to go into a nursing home and had to give the dog up for adoption. I've spoken to her twice now to reassure her that we are taking good care of the dog. Those dogs do enjoy the snow don't they? I'm so glad our dachshund lets us towel her off afterwards as our other dog (a Westie) does not let us get the snow off of her and prefers to let it melt on the couch. |

I was tricked into getting her from a vet hospital I deliver to that is two hours drive from my house. They got me with the line ( Do you want a dog?, She's small and real cute, she is free to a good home, do you want to see her? ). The Veterinary Hospital had her for a month because people thought she was cute but when they found out she was ten years old they would say ( I was looking for a puppy ). Her name is Suzie and when I first saw her I was told you could change her name, but my first thought was I do not think she would like a new name after ten years. Her owner had brought her to the same vet since she was a puppy so when he told them that he had to go into a nursing home they told him they would find her a good home. After I picked her up and took her home I was able to tell the workers at the hospital how she was doing and all of the activites she was doing at her new house. The woman that had talked me into taking her went to the nursing home and told the man that she was in a house near a park where she could run free once a day for an hour or more. She told me the next week when she saw me that he cried when he found out that she could run around because he had been unable to take her out for awhile and that she really seemed to be having a good time in her new place. She does not play with any dog toys and does not fetch sticks or eat dog treats. We went on a walk today in temperatures of 25F and she was not affected at all. She has short hair on her legs like a dachsund but all of her other hair is longer and thicker like a Shiba Inu. When she looks out of the front window as we pull up to the house with her ears up she looks like a giant bat Lance |

Carla, Shiba Inu was a dog breed I had not heard of either - I had to look it up just out of curiosity. It's one of six Japanese breeds of dogs. Here's a link you may find helpful. (And Lance, if you do have a photo, we'd love to see Suzie!) Anne |
Here is a link that might be useful: Shiba Inu at wikipedia

The picture at the top is Suzie to a tee. Put a dachsund head on that body and make the ears one third larger and there she is. She weighs 14.5 pounds and is ten inches tall at the top of the shoulder. Unlike pure breed Shiba's she will run all over and get as far as 300 feet away and then come right back and stop at my feet to see if it is time to go. She is aloof to most people and does not come close to other people unless I am close by. |
I'm trying to imagine your dog Lance. She sounds very dedicated. Carla |

I love hearing about her! Dogs in the snow are the best :) Shibas are so interesting. I adopted a Jindo that they thought was a SE... same huge bat ears but a bigger dog... loves the snow, too. The ancient Asian breeds are so regal and loyal; they fascinate me. Mixed with a dachshund, how cool! Yeah, Kiki [jindo] wouldn't come back till maybe 300000 ft and a day of hunting, lol. That dachsund part is helpful! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Jindo ... Kiki's red

Most Dangerous Object in the Office: GreenSteam Weed Killer
- |
- 12:00 pm |
- Permalink
D'oh! We left a cup of coffee on our desk—last Presidents' Day. A scouring pad will never kill all the germs living in this mug, but a blast of scalding steam at 930 degrees Fahrenheit just might. The GreenSteam Weed Killer is a propane-powered beast that flash-boils water in about half a minute, then disgorges it through a stainless steel nozzle. The 10-gallon tank provides enough blistering mist to wilt thousands of weeds—or sterilize a whole break room full of moldy dishware. Doing good deeds is so rewarding. In fact, the office manager's shirt is looking a little wrinkly …

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of attending my first ever brunch with Boston Brunchers! I had been stalking reading about this group of foodies for a while and loved seeing the new places they tried and the foods they ate. When I saw they would be attending an upcoming brunch at Bakers' Best, I knew it was time to submit my name! Bakers' Best was one of my favorite places to go for brunch and I was saddened to learn they had closed the restaurant. However, the good news is that they are now focusing exclusively on their catering company in Needham, MA! Brunch, bloggers and a behind the scenes peek- sold!

'The Silver Bullet': America's Deadliest Destroyer
'The Silver Bullet': America's Deadliest Destroyer
Nation, meet the DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer: a $3 billion warship so advanced that once it is deployed (in either 2014 or 2015) it will be "the most technologically sophisticated warship ever to hit the water": equipped with dual 155-millimeter guns controlled by a computer, "a battery of SM-2 antiaircraft missiles, surface-targeting Tomahawks, missile-destroying ESSM interceptors, […] vertically launched ASROC antisubmarine torpedoes", and "an electromagnetic railgun, which uses a magnetic field and electric current to fire a projectile at several times the speed of sound".
The creation of this model marks the beginning of the implementation of three Zumwalt-class destroyers following the Navy's re-evaluation of the ship's cost-efficiency (although many experts, such as Naval Affairs Specialist Ronald O'Rourke, are proposing that Congress move to create more DDG 1000s in the future). The project is receiving its funding via the U.S. Navy's DDG 1000 Detail Design and Integration contract,awarded in 2005, with Raytheon Integrated Defense System (IDS) leading in the development of the destroyers' "electronic and combat systems".
The vessel, which is regarded by the Pentagon as "the most advanced destroyer in history — a silver bullet of stealth", has been described by Admiral Jonathan Greenert, chief of naval operations, as the "future" of the military, especially when addressing America's growing political concern with China. The DDG 1000's "ability to carry out missions both on the high seas and in shallows closer to shore [the warship is able to navigate in waters as shallow as 30 feet] is especially important in Asia because of the region's many island nations and China's long Pacific coast".
Below is an illustration of the impressive warship and the innovative technology that makes it so deadly:
For a precise list of what Raytheon (the organization behind the warship's impressive technology) considers the top 10 most critical aspects of the ship, take a look at the list found on their website.
Is the presence of an expensive fleet of super-stealth destroyers worth the $3 billion dollars needed to achieve it?
Will the DDG 1000 revolutionize how we conduct war?
Will it change the U.S.' relationship with China?
Let us know your opinions below!
this just looks like so much win, dam you america why do you get all the cool toys.
We like being in debt up to are eyeballs.
Because we spend to much on our military?
*our eyeballs
"And we're not giving China an IOU, because we actually plan on paying it back" – from the "This is America" poster.
Yes tell the world so we can all anti you.
U mad bro? that's cool come at us when your ready, one shot of the railgun should set you straight.
Oh ae bro, i didn't know we were related.
As much fun as this is, how is that going to help the US in areas like Middle-East and South Africa? Also, who else in the world really has a navy that is a big enough threat to deem this ship as necessary?
its all about staying ahead man, that being said 3 billion a ship= damn. xD
Bad economy … minus 3 billion dollars + trillions in debt = wtf.
My thought exactly. x(
I don't know why you're asking about South Africa. Do you mean the Horn of Africa?
I am projecting that in Southern Africa that there will be enough conflict to deem military intervention.
So maybe this is why Romney was so concerned about Naval spending, hmm…
Guys, this EXACT ARTICLE has been posted over the past 7 years dozens of times. The contract USED to be 30 stealth-ships at $3 billion a pop. Now, because of budget cuts, etc, it has been cut down to about 3 ships at $10 billion a pop.
This is true. We're only building 3, not a fleet. Come on SourceFed, fact check!
Jokes on Obama because the main purpose of this new ship is to transport our secret surplus of horses and bayonets.
Horses WITH bayonets are the future
All gear no idea
Maybe they Romney will bring out Bayonet mini later this year?
DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class? Sounds like someones being playing too much Total Annihilation
Good morning Phil.
You just love yourself some bayonets don't ya Philly
Ummm no bears with machines guns and dolphins with lasers are clearly the future. Honestly how do you beat armored bear cavalry?
I think Phil is REALLY excited for AC3
This is about the 5th time I've heard this reference from you Phil, was that the highlight of the debates for you? I feel weird that I follow you on enough social media outlets to even be able to make that statement haha
Lol so true
silver bullet? they named it that for reals? sounds like a sex toy
Dam phil your up late!
What is this? A ship for ants?
It needs to be at least….THREE TIMES this size!
I like the logic……"China….lets fuck with them just because".
Looks like the Nautilus from A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
looks like a giant waste of taxpayer's money, to be honest
although I wont deny that it does look pretty bad ass
Let's face it, you'd crew the shit out of this ship
pfff…really. Asia is mentioned but I doubt it. more like it is going to be used against Iran or Venezuela in the future. china doesn't have oil…china is just a reason to keep tensions high, but not the main objective for the moment. Iran and Venezuela here we come to take your sh@t. we need it to keep oil costs down over here…well, somewhat.
All this just because China bought a Soviet era Carrier we are making a huge deal out of nothing China is so far behind in terms of its military that the only thing China has is numbers, nothing more we are just over spending in toys we really don't need.
The rail gun is the thing that most interests me.
An anti-terrorism platform? Lol what
Sure $3 billion is a lot of money but I live near the Norfolk ship yards and there are tons and tons of people who need those billion dollar boats being built because it gives them jobs. Its not like they put $3 billion in a machine and out pops a boat that money goes to A LOT of hard working people for years of work. I like anything that puts people to work. Keep em coming! Besides they are pretty bad ass!
Raytheon.. oh the big company leeching of american tax dollars & war machine the government has become… I hear Canada yelling my name.
I think 9 of these should be plenty. Especially since ONE could probably take out the entire Navy of any other other country, except maybe the U.K.
this thing just made aircraft carriers redundant, with its rail gun.. those things are epic! and cause serious damage at extreme long range!

The American enterprise system grew to be exceptional because of the principles on which it was built — individual freedom, decentralized knowledge, and accountable, constitutionally limited government. But, says Matt Kibbe, politicians in Washington have systematically replaced the dispersed genius of America with top-down dictates and expensive schemes designed to expand the power of insiders and protect the privileged positions of politicians, bureaucrats, and their cronies. In his new book, Kibbe proposes a different path. "Decentralized freedom" can return America to its founding values by breaking up centralized government's monopoly on power and returning it to where it belongs: with We the People. Kibbe exposes the privileged collusion of Washington insiders and maps out a proven plan for how to return power from the self-appointed "experts" back to the people. Kibbe was dubbed by Newsweek "one of the Tea Party's masterminds." Please join us for a fresh and exciting look at past and coming changes in American politics.

Obesity remains a serious health problem and it is no secret that many people want to lose weight. Behavioral economists typically argue that "nudges" help individuals with various decisionmaking flaws to live longer, healthier, and better lives. In an article in the new issue of Regulation, Michael L. Marlow discusses how nudging by government differs from nudging by markets, and explains why market nudging is the more promising avenue for helping citizens to lose weight.

I have a question about the recipe "Grilled Salmon w/ Black Beans" from mtlabor. Are the canned beans drained and rinsed?
I am going to jump in, it's not my recipe and have not made this (but plan to) it sounds delicious. If I were making it I would drain the beans but not rinse, Maybe mtlabor will see this question and weigh in or someone who has made this but that is what I would do.

I will still have the mortgage of course, but I will be free of all my other debt by 31st December 2009.
This is a bold statement to make, as it won't be easy, but after a few days of feeling sorry for myself, which is very unproductive, I'm ready to kick this debt into touch. I've done my basic budget, and if I need to buy anything outside of it, I will have to make the money somewhere. I'm not quite committing to a no spend year, but I've not given myself any money for clothes, books, gifts or coffee!
Basic 2009 budget:
All other money will go to debt repayment.

I just wrote on my blog about being debt free in 2009. We will need to keep each other accountable because it is so easy to give into the wants.
I think setting goals that are a stretch keep you motivated. I did a similar goal in 2007, paid off all my credit card debt in one year. I still keep a pretty lean budget, I have more goals to go – both debt and savings. Keep focused and you can do it. It's a wonderful feeling not having a huge debt hanging over your head.
Hi there-very best of luck to you, keep motivated and this will happen!!
thank you for your support debt free, miss m and sharon-rose. It's fellow bloggers that keep me going

We built a new home in Cle Elum Washington. Our sewer vents go out under the soffits and not thru the roof. We consistently have sewer smells outside around the house (not in the house). We are on septic and only lived in the house for 2 months. I have also noticed the sewer order around other new homes in the neighborhood. The builder flushed bakers yeast down our toilets that said should activate the system. He also said there was some kind of coal screen vent he could install in the vents to eliminate order from escaping. I also understand we can run these vents thru the roof which our builder is willing to do. Any ideas to solve our sewer smell? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You are overlooking a key factor. The answer lies with the plumbers who worked on the houses. Answer these questions so we know what is missing here. Are you located in a municialpality where permits were required? I have a feeling the septic means no. If permits were required,talk to the code inspector about this. How far below soffit do'es the vent exit wall ? Once pipe exits wall,do'es it turn up 90* ? Is the roof metal, clay tile,composition or what ? The builder should have known but the baker's yeast makes me wonder, did the plumber intend the vent to be finished after a certain stage of construction? Just based on what you have said,I reccomend extending the vent horizonaly passed facia then upperward 2 or more feet. If you choose to run it through the roof,make certain a compitent roofer is involved unless you want a rotted deck in a few years. Farthur more,make certain everything meets code once finished. |
"Are you located in a municialpality (sp) where permits were required? I have a feeling the septic means no." That's an odd comment. Where I live, permits are most certainly required to install, repair or replace any septic system. There are both state and locally imposed standards in the building code. Maybe it's different elsewhere. |

Thank you for your responses. Our county requires permitting for septic systems. My understanding is that our builder was concerned about snow build up possibly blocking the vents if they were directed straight up (we live in a snowy area during winter). Last week we had roofers here dealing with another issue who commented that the septic smell was pretty bad, in fact, they thought our septic tank/system was backed up. We received an occupancy permit in October, so we are assuming the septic design was approved. The pipe exits the exterior wall about 4-6" below the soffit. It does not turn up at all, just comes straight out 6-8". The plumber who installed has been involved. He recently installed some sort of diaphragm in the crall space, which has not helped. We do not think the plumber expected to come back and do anything additional to our septic system after he was done installing. The roof is composition. |
Additional thoughts? Yes but I'm not sure my thinking it sounds getto will help you. You imply that you have took this up with your local officials to no avail. If you are saying the same person inspects plumbing and septic,is this how he says it needs to be done? As you drive through your area,are all homes vented like yours and your neighbors that used this builder? Yes? Then I suppose you will have to live with it. No? Then find out why,and I don't mean asking people who don't make the rules where you live. I don't understand why your builder thinks there isn't ehough pipe availbe to reach above snow. Most places that expect 6 feet of snow build roofs steep enough it slides off and put stacks at tallest part. |
- Posted by racquetball (My Page) on Sun, Dec 15, 13 at 7:13
I guess we will take this up with local officials which is good advice since we have not done that yet. There are only 4 other homes at this point and they do all have the vents running out the side. We did do a temporary experiment by putting extended PVC piping that ran out and around the soffit and straight up about 3 feet which seemed to help but there was still odor at times. Before we moved here we had septic in our last home but never smelled any odor unless someone in the neighborhood was having their septic pumped. Our previous home had the vents running thru the roof. At this point we will have them make that change and see if it helps. We do live at 2500 feet and the air can be very still here at times so maybe getting the vents up a good 3-4 feet will solve our problem. Thanks. |

Seems to me that venting is covered in the plumbing code. Sounds like your problem is a plumbing code violation and not a septic code violation. Still air or not I've never seen venting done sideways. Always see vents penetrate the roof and in higher elevations and windy climates close to the roof peak. Around here septic is permitted and inspected by county environmental health while plumbing is permitted and inspected by the county plumbing inspectors. Make sure you've got both bases covered. |
Methane is lighter than air, which is why it can exit up out of a buried septic tank, through the waste water pipes and then (normally) out the vent stacks. In still air, it should just continue to rise. All the houses in my hillside neighborhood have septic tanks. My house is higher than lower neighbors' vents and so in turn are houses up the hill from mine. I've been here >20 years and I've never heard anyone mention having smelled the odor of sewage gas. I'm not a plumber and we have no snow here, but a horizontal final run for a vent sounds unusual. I think there's something odd going on, I hope there are septic contractors in your area (where I am it's a different license from plumbers) you could consult with. |
- Posted by racquetball (My Page) on Sun, Dec 15, 13 at 23:40
Thanks to everyone for the input. It has helped us very much. I will be contacting the county and The builder to run the vents thru the roof on our home and other homes in the neighborhood. It makes perfect sense to me. Dean |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Sun, Dec 15, 13 at 23:56
Just bring it to the attention of the plumbing inspector cause there may be other things that the builder "improved". |

DWV vents under the soffit do not meet any code I have ever seen. Septic tanks will have vile odors at the vents-- quite normal. The house vents are the only vents for most septic tanks. Methane is one of the gases from septic tanks-- but it is odorless. Odors come from gases such as hydrogen sulfide which is both poisonous and combustible. Hydrogen sulfide is one of the gases in flatulence. For plumbing function, the soffit vent may work well enough. But yours is not necessarily to code. The vent terminals (ends) are to be positioned so that the noxious gases dissipate before typically coming into the vicinity of people. Read all of Section 904 of the IPC, particularly 904.6. |
Here is a link that might be useful: IPC 904
- Posted by Geoffrey_B (My Page) on Wed, Dec 18, 13 at 13:54
Here it is: IPC904: 904.6 Extension through the wall. Vent terminals extending through the wall shall terminate a minimum of 10 feet (3048 mm) from the lot line and 10 feet (3048 mm) above average ground level. >>>> Vent terminals shall not terminate under the overhang of a structure with soffit vents. <<<<< Side wall vent terminals shall be protected to prevent birds or rodents from entering or blocking the vent opening. |
Something to look for. As this tank is all bacteria and water and it is terminating on the side of the house I think I would start looking for a green slime on the side of the house. Run the vent through the roof and support it properly both below and above the roof, if the snow is that bad. I've never seen or heard of a new home being vented this way. |

1 This simple but elegant grille hasn't changed since the 1950s, and it was retro even then.
2 Putting the headlamps into Morgan-built nacelles forced changes to the nose that made the ensemble more harmonious.
3 This cowl actually resembles what was current on 1935 racing cars, so it was not at all anachronistic or inappropriate on a sports car.
4 The thick belting leather strap is de rigueur, at once a period piece and a totally functional accessory. And it looks great on this car.
5 The flattened fender tops were easy to make by hand long ago and give a distinctive character to classic Morgans - as they did for the Jaguar SS 100 and the Riley Imp of the '30s.
6 The cut-down doors let you swing your elbows freely as you wrestle with the heavy but accurate steering. Perfectly traditional, perfectly functional. Except in the rain.
7 External hinges are practical, light, and strong, but they dictate the door shape, which must have a nearly vertical leading edge. Older versions had rear-hinged doors.
8 The radio antenna aligns with the aft edge of the hood and the angle of the windshield. But who listens to the radio in a Morgan?
9 Skirts below the fender highlight line add a touch of modernity, keep mud off the body sides, and allow a nice horizontal baseline.
10 The side marker lamps are as small as legally possible on the rather bare new Sport model, available with two Ford powerplants: a 1.6-liter four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter V-6.
11 Black wire wheels are a feature of the Sport models, as is the lack of bumpers. If black wheels work for Lamborghini . . .
12 The optional bumpers actually finish the front end nicely, as did underpan fairings on some racing Morgans. But the nice thing about these cars is that you can have whatever you want. Just order it and wait many months (it used to be years) until your car is done.
13 The spare tire lies on the plane of the rear body. In flat-radiator models, there were two spares, carried upright, which looked good but are hardly necessary with modern tires. Even one spare may be more than what's needed, but it looks right.
14 How very British: two identical Lucas lamps with different colored lenses provide legal lighting at minimal cost.
15 Lack of an air bag highlights the vehicle's lengthy life span.
16 Controls "fall readily to hand," as generations of British road tests had it. And indeed they do in the classic Morgan roadster.
17 Ample use of leather for the cockpit surround, dash top, and even on the instrument panel itself is luxurious. It's also practical for a car that requires a half hour of fumbling to erect the top, after which the rain-spotted leather can easily be wiped dry.

Commemorating America's accomplished history in space travel and aviation, the Stafford Air & Space Museum houses more than 20 historic aircraft and several gravity-belittling exhibits, including an F-16 Fighting Falcon, a full-size replica of the Spirit of St. Louis, and a V-2 rocket engine](http://gr.pn/mET6EN). Visitors can glide through 40,000 square feet of exhibition space and examine replicas of early airplanes, two of which the Wright brothers famously designed after abandoning their initial design of an umbrella attached to three seagulls. Awe-inspiring NASA vehicles such as the Titan II rocket and the Gemini spacecraft serve as gargantuan reminders that humankind is no longer bound by the laws of gravity. The lunar curious can get an up-close look at a moon rock from the Apollo 17 space mission or inspect the full-scale replica of the Apollo program's command module.
A community-built science-and-art museum, Leonardo's Discovery Warehouse entertains young minds and inspires creative thought with numerous educational exhibits. As it pays tribute to the famed artist, musician, architect, inventor, engineer, botanist, and Tony-winning choreographer Leonardo da Vinci, the discovery warehouse offers a balance of art, biology, and engineering stations to stimulate both sides of the developing brain. Kids can explore a rainforest environment and meet live animals, strap into a space-shuttle flight simulator, dig for ancient fossils in an excavation pit, and create masterpieces in an arts-and-crafts studio. Directly outside of the museum is Adventure Quest, a three-story wooden castle filled with imagination-fueling bridges, slides, mazes, and swings.
Curated by the Oklahoma Historical Society, the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center preserves the borderland's multifarious history with a research center, a theater, and five sprawling exhibit galleries. Visitors pore over the center's collection of firsthand accounts, oral and video histories, period photographs, and 10,000 artifacts, including the first portable drilling rig and the first stationary pogo stick. The Land & The People Gallery houses a life-size model of a settler's sod home, and the Thelma Gungoll Phillips University Gallery displays the varsity uniforms and marching-band regalia of the state's first private university. Temporary exhibits keep each visit fresh, with Going Places (on display through August 14) investigating modes of transportation in the 1800s and tracking the evolution from horse-drawn carriages to horseless autos to horse-shaped hovercrafts.

Missouri's budget for the next fiscal year has been passed by the State House. While Medicaid expansion has dominated most of the debate, spending hikes were approved in other areas.
The nearly $25 billion spending plan adds an extra $65 million for K-12 schools, although the spending hike still falls short of fully funding the state's public school formula.
Republican Mike Lair of Livingston County chairs the Appropriations committee on Education.
The Missouri House has given first-round approval to the state budget for Fiscal Year 2014, while House Republicans beat back three attempts to expand Medicaid.
The first attempt was made Tuesday morning, in the form of a motion to send House Bill 1 back to committee and add $940 million to it for Medicaid needs. The motion was made by State Representative Jeff Roorda (D, Barnhart).
The Missouri House will begin debate Tuesday on the 13 bills that make up next year's state budget.
The three bills that encompass the state's Medicaid program don't include Governor Jay Nixon's proposed expansion, although House Democrats may try to offer amendments to change that.
Budget chairman Rick Stream of St. Louis County says the state should have more of a say in how Medicaid dollars are handled.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon says his budget for next year will expand funding for education for students of all ages.
The Missouri House rejected most of the budget bills passed last week by the Senate. The move was part of the normal procedure for preparing for final budget negotiations.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon is urging lawmakers to fund veterans' homes, pensions for the blind and other specific needs in the still-unfinished state budget.
The bad news eased a bit for Missouri higher education this afternoon. Governor Nixon's office released a statement saying $40 million of the recommended funding cuts for next year will be restored to his budget.
Higher education is on the chopping block once again in Jefferson City.
As Missouri lawmakers return to session this week, they'll face a multitude of tasks, but front and center will be the state's budget. Missouri faces a challenging year, with a major source of revenue running out and an economy that's still struggling to recover from the recession.
