Article: Paradoxical psoriasis in a large cohort of patients with inflammatory bowel disease receiving treatment with anti‐TNF alpha: 5‐year follow‐up study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is an emerging paradoxical side effect in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) when treated with anti-TNF alpha. Patients with severe skin lesions unresponsive to topical therapy need to withdraw from treatment. To estimate the incidence of paradoxical psoriasis in a large cohort of IBD patients treated with anti-TNF alpha and to analyse its clinical correlates. A retrospective cohort study on all IBD patients who started anti-TNF alpha at our IBD Centre from January 2008 to December 2013 was performed. Proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the association between each predictor and time to the development of psoriasis. Time-dependent predictors were updated at each available time point. Four hundred and two patients were included. Participants contributed a total of 839 person-years of follow-up, during which 42 incident cases of psoriasis were recorded, with an incidence rate of five per 100 person-years. Cox-regression survival analysis revealed smoking as independent predictor of psoriasis (HR: 2.37, 95% CI: 1.36-4.48; P = 0.008). Conversely, concomitant immunosuppressive therapy was inversely related to psoriasis (HR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.12-0.92; P = 0.03). Paradoxical psoriasis is a relevant side effect of anti-TNF alpha therapy, with an incidence rate of five per 100 person-years. Smoking is confirmed as the main risk factor for developing lesions. The combination therapy with anti-TNF alpha plus immunosuppressants is associated with a reduced risk of paradoxical psoriasis. © 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics 07/2015; 42(7).

Article: Review article: the pathophysiology and medical management of diverticulosis and diverticular disease of the colon[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The incidence of diverticulosis and diverticular disease of the colon, including diverticulitis, is increasing worldwide, and becoming a significant burden on national health systems. Treatment of patients with diverticulosis and DD is generally based on high-fibre diet and antibiotics, respectively. However, new pathophysiological knowledge suggests that further treatment may be useful. To review the current treatment of diverticulosis and diverticular disease. A search of PubMed and Medline databases was performed to identify articles relevant to the management of diverticulosis and diverticular disease. Major international conferences were also reviewed. Two randomised controlled trials (RCT) found the role of antibiotics in managing acute diverticulitis to be questionable, particularly in patients with no complicating comorbidities. One RCT found mesalazine to be effective in preventing acute diverticulitis in patients with symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease. The role of rifaximin or mesalazine in preventing diverticulitis recurrence, based on the results of 1 and 4 RCTs, respectively, remains unclear. RCTs found rifaximin and mesalazine to be effective in treating symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease. The use of probiotics in diverticular disease and in preventing acute diverticulitis occurrence/recurrence appears promising but unconclusive. Finally, the role of fibre in treating diverticulosis remains unclear. Available evidence suggests that antibiotics have a role only in the treatment of complicated diverticulitis. It appears to be some evidence for a role for rifaximin and mesalazine in treating symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease. Finally, there is not currently adequate evidence to recommend any medical treatment for the prevention of diverticulitis recurrence. © 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics 07/2015; 42(6).

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The elaboration of effective and cost-saving algorithms for anti-TNF optimization in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) represents one of the biggest challenges over the last few years. Recently, many studies have been focused on the identification of an optimal trough level (TL) for most used anti-TNF agents and on the role of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs), especially in the management of patients who lose response to biological treatments. Therapeutic drug monitoring may potentially help to also prevent lose of clinical benefit overtime and to reduce health-related costs. Areas covered: Current evidence about the correlation between clinical outcomes and anti-TNF TLs, the role of ADAs in the context of safety and loss of response to anti-TNF, the utility of therapeutic drug monitoring in clinical practice. Expert opinion: The data available so far support the utility of TL and ADA measurement for the management of IBD patients with loss of response to anti-TNF but does not currently authorizes a routine application in clinical practice of proactive therapeutic monitoring in patients in clinical remission. However, this remains a promising approach to optimize anti-TNF therapies and possibly to reduce health-related costs, then further prospective studies are strongly expected.Expert opinion on biological therapy 05/2015; 15(8):1-11.

Article: Prevention and Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism in Patients with IBD: A Trail Still Climbing[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: : Venous thromboembolism (VTE) represents one of the most common and life-threatening extraintestinal complications of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Therefore, the prevention of VTE is essential and foremost involves the assessment of individual patient risk factors for VTE and, consequently, the correction of those risk factors that are modifiable. Mechanical and pharmacological prophylaxis are highly effective at preventing VTE in patients hospitalized for acute disease, and they are recommended by the leading guidelines for hospitalized patients with IBD. Unfortunately, several recent surveys reported that prophylaxis against VTE is still poorly implemented because of concerns about its safety and a lack of awareness of the magnitude of thrombotic risk in patients with IBD. Therefore, further efforts are required to increase the thromboprophylaxis rate in these patients to bridge the gap between the best care and standard care and, consequently, to avoid preventable VTE-associated morbidity and mortality. This review provides insight on the critical points that persist on the prevention and treatment of VTE in patients with IBD.Inflammatory Bowel Diseases 01/2015; 21(5).

Article: Inter-observer agreement in endoscopic scoring systems: Preliminary report of an ongoing study from the Italian Group for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IG-IBD)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Endoscopic activity has become a therapeutic endpoint in inflammatory bowel disease. Aim of this study was to evaluate inter-observer agreement for endoscopic scores in a real-life setting. Methods 14 gastroenterologists with experience in inflammatory bowel disease care and endoscopic scoring reviewed videos of ulcerative colitis (n = 13) and postoperative (n = 10) and luminal (n = 8) Crohn's disease. The Mayo subscore for ulcerative colitis, Rutgeerts score for postoperative Crohn's disease, Crohn's disease endoscopic index of severity (CDEIS), and the simple endoscopic score-Crohn's disease (SES-CD) for luminal Crohn's disease were calculated. A subset of five endoscopic clips were assessed by 30 general gastroenterologists without specific experience in endoscopic scores. Kappa statistics and intraclass correlation coefficients were used to measure agreement. Results Mayo subscore agreement was suboptimal: kappas were 0.53 (95% confidence interval 0.47–0.56) and 0.71 (0.67–0.76) for the two groups. Rutgeerts score agreement was fair: kappas were 0.57 (0.51–0.65) and 0.67 (0.60–0.72). Agreements for CDEIS and SES-CD were good: intraclass correlation coefficients for the two groups were 0.83 (0.54–1.00) and 0.67 (0.36–0.97) for CDEIS and 0.93 (0.76–1.00) and 0.68 (0.35–0.97) for SES-CD, respectively. Conclusion The reproducibility of endoscopic scores in inflammatory bowel disease remains suboptimal, which could potentially have major effects on therapeutic choices.Digestive and Liver Disease 11/2014; 46(11).

Article: Faecal calprotectin assay after induction with anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor α agents in inflammatory bowel disease: Prediction of clinical response and mucosal healing at one year[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Faecal calprotectin levels correlate with inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease. We evaluated the role of faecal calprotectin after anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha induction in inflammatory bowel disease patients to predict therapeutic effect at one year. Methods: Faecal calprotectin levels were measured in stools of 63 patients before and after induction of anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha therapy. Clinical activity, measured by clinical indices, was assessed before and after biologic treatment. Clinical responders after induction were included in the study and colonoscopy was performed before and after one year of treatment to assess mucosal healing. Results: 63 patients (44 Crohn's disease, 19 ulcerative colitis) were prospectively included (41.2% males, mean age at diagnosis 33 years). A sustained clinical response during the first year was observed in 57% of patients; median faecal calprotectin was 106 mu g/g after induction versus 308 mu g/g pre-induction (p < 0.0001). Post-induction faecal calprotectin was significantly lower in responders versus non-responders (p = 0.0002). Post-induction faecal calprotectin had 83% sensitivity and 74% specificity (cut-off <= 168 mu g/g) for predicting a sustained clinical response at one year (p = 0.0001); also, sensitivity was 79% and specificity 57% (cut-off <= 121 mu g/g) for predicting mucosal healing (p = 0.0001). Conclusions: In inflammatory bowel disease faecal calprotectin assay after anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha induction can be used as a marker to predict sustained clinical response and mucosal healing at one year.Digestive and Liver Disease 08/2014; 46(11).

Article: Long-term Combination Therapy with Infliximab Plus Azathioprine Predicts Sustained Steroid-free Clinical Benefit in Steroid-dependent Ulcerative Colitis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Infliximab (IFX) has demonstrated effectiveness for inducing 12-month steroid-free clinical remission in patients with steroid-dependent ulcerative colitis (UC), but long-term data are lacking. The aim of the study was to describe the long-term outcome of IFX treatment in steroid-dependent UC and investigate if predictors of sustained clinical response and colectomy could be identified. Methods: Consecutive patients with steroid-dependent UC treated with IFX were studied. The coprimary prespecified outcomes were sustained clinical response in patients who achieved clinical remission or response after IFX induction and colectomy-free survival. Secondary analyses were addressed to look for predictors of sustained clinical response and colectomy. Results: After induction, 76% (96/126) of patients achieved clinical benefit. The median duration of follow-up on IFX maintenance therapy was 41.5 months (interquartile range, 26-45). Sixty-four percent (46/96) of patients had sustained clinical response at median follow-up. Colectomy-free survival was 77% at median follow-up. Combination therapy of IFX with thiopurines was an independent predictor of sustained clinical response (P < 0.0001; hazard ratio [HR], 3.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.73-9.14). Independent predictors of colectomy were Mayo endoscopic subscore of 3 at baseline (P = 0.04; HR, 2.77; 95% CI, 1.09-7.05) and high C-reactive protein after induction (P = 0.001; HR, 5.65; 95% CI, 2.03-15.7). Thiopurine naive status (P = 0.025; HR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.13-0.87) was protective from colectomy. Conclusions: Long-term IFX treatment is effective in inducing sustained clinical response in patients with steroid-dependent UC. Combination therapy is predictive of sustained clinical response in the long-term. Patients with more severe endoscopic lesions at baseline and high C-reactive protein after induction are at higher risk of colectomy. Conversely, thiopurine naive status is protective from colectomy.Inflammatory Bowel Diseases 06/2014; 20(8). DOI:10.1097/MIB.0000000000000115 · 4.46 Impact Factor

Article: Venous thromboembolism in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: Focus on prevention and treatment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The most common sites of VTE in IBD patients are the deep veins of the legs and pulmonary system, followed by the portal and mesenteric veins. However, other sites may also be involved, such as the cerebrovascular and retinal veins. The aetiology of VTE is multifactorial, including both inherited and acquired risk factors that, when simultaneously present, multiply the risk to the patient. VTE prevention involves correcting modifiable risk factors, such as disease activity, vitamin deficiency, dehydration and prolonged immobilisation. The role of mechanical and pharmacological prophylaxis against VTE using anticoagulants is also crucial. However, although guidelines recommend thromboprophylaxis for IBD patients, this method is still poorly implemented because of concerns about its safety and a lack of awareness of the magnitude of thrombotic risk in these patients. Further efforts are required to increase the rate of pharmacological prevention of VTE in IBD patients to avoid preventable morbidity and mortality.World Journal of Gastroenterology 03/2014; 20(12):3173-3179.

JOHANNESBURG — Knocked off his board by an attacking shark, three-time world champion Mick Fanning punched the creature before escaping unharmed during the televised finals of a world surfing competition in South Africa on Sunday.
The Australian surfer was struck by the shark from behind and knocked into the water as he sat on his board waiting his turn during the JBay Open in Jeffrey's Bay in the Eastern Cape Province.
AMES, Iowa — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump criticized Sen. John McCain's military record at a conservative forum Saturday, saying the party's 2008 nominee and former prisoner of war was a "war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
NEW YORK (AP) — The Supreme Court's ruling last month legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide has left Americans sharply divided, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that suggests support for gay unions may be down slightly from earlier this year.
The poll also found a near-even split over whether local officials with religious objections should be required to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, with 47 percent saying that should be the case and 49 percent say they should be exempt.
LOS ANGELES — A fast-moving wildfire that swept across a packed California interstate, sending people running for their lives, was burning more calmly Saturday as rain fell and temperatures dropped.
The fire had burned over Interstate 15 on Friday in Cajon Pass, a mountainous area 55 miles northeast of Los Angeles. It destroyed 20 vehicles on the freeway linking Southern California and Las Vegas before burning three homes and 44 more vehicles in the nearby community of Baldy Mesa.
MINNEAPOLIS — Researchers believe they found the grave of a man who could be considered the first black male slave freed by Abraham Lincoln, tracking his final resting place to the cemetery of a former Minnesota psychiatric hospital.
NEW YORK — The widow of Eric Garner and hundreds of protesters rallied outside a courthouse Saturday to call on federal prosecutors to indict the white police officer who put the black New York City man in a fatal chokehold a year ago.
"You all keep me empowered to speak," Garner's widow, Esaw Garner, told the demonstrators at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn.
"I will not stop loving him," she added. "I will never stop fighting for him."
WASHINGTON — The talks themselves were a groundbreaking and risky proposition when U.S. and Iranian officials met secretly in the sleepy Arab kingdom of Oman, archenemies feinting for a diplomatic opening. The opposing sides had barely spoken to one another in three-plus decades.
But after a torturous 2 1/2-year effort full of false starts, backward steps and missed deadlines, world powers and Iran transformed those early overtures into a nuclear accord that may reshape the security landscape of the Mideast for a generation to come.
WASHINGTON — For John Kerry, vindication came at midnight.
As last Monday became Tuesday in Vienna, the U.S. secretary of state picked up the telephone in his first-floor room at the ornate, 19th-century Palais Coburg and dialed the White House.
We have a deal, Kerry told President Barack Obama.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia announced Saturday it has broken up planned Islamic State attacks in the kingdom and arrested more than 400 suspects in an anti-terrorism sweep, a day after a powerful blast in neighboring Iraq killed more than 100 people in one of the country's deadliest single attacks since U.S. troops pulled out in 2011.
WASHINGTON — The deadly shootings at military sites in Tennessee illustrate the threat that FBI officials have warned about: violence directed against a vulnerable government target by a lone gunman with apparent terrorist aspirations.
The FBI has not detailed a motive, but Thursday's attacks that killed four Marines and one sailor are under investigation as a potential act of terrorism, with authorities combing through the gunman's past to look for travel, contacts and online writings.

'Telework' is no longer a big enough word to describe working on the go. (Stock image)
The Telework Exchange has changed its name to Mobile Work Exchange, part of public-private partnership's rebranding efforts to expand its mission to increase focus on telework and lead mobile IT discussions in the federal government.
According to a Jan. 28 announcement, the Mobile Work Exchange will continue to provide best practices in telework, performance management, effective communication, recruitment and retention and other workforce-related topics, but will begin to key in on prime issues in mobile IT, such as cybersecurity, privacy, bring-your-own-device policies, mobile device management, virtualization and cloud. In making the shift, the organization has added a new resource center on mobile IT, and refreshed its monthly publication, now called The Mobile Worker.
The organizational change comes following the growth in government telework adoption as well as a new focus on encouraging mobility in the federal workforce.
"We've spent the last eight years supporting the awareness and adoption of telework," said Cindy Auten, general manager of Mobile Work Exchange. "Now that the federal government is moving telework in the fast lane, the conversation is changing. And so are we. As telework drives the mobile IT discussion forward, we will expand our role to cover both telework and mobile IT topics."
Mobile Work Exchange plans to continue its annual Telework Week, which starts this year on March 4.

Travel Blogs from Chattanooga
Touring in Chattanooga, Tennessee
... journey, albeit not conducive to photo taking. All you can really see is woods on either side punctuated by a few nice homes, or looking straight down a view of Chattanooga suburbia. The drive up to Lookout Mountain doesn't take long, but reminded me a bit of the drive up to Mt. Dandenong just outside of Melbourne, in Victoria. Beautiful bush countryside within the city limits. Next on the agenda was to take the car back to the ...
Chattanooga Stop for the Night
We arrived in Chattanooga crossed over to Georgia and gave up on the 127 yard sale. It was fun while it lasted but we are hot any tired and ready for a shower. On the way to our hotel we saw a Muffler Man at Sir Gooneys Golf. He makes three for this trip. We have one left to see in Oklahoma on the way home. Tomorrow we head to Nashville to visit the The American Pickers ...
The exit from Florida
... dressing on top of lettuce, tomato, onion and a bread roll. Very nice too. Steve had a minced lamb burger and fries. Have decided to stay a second night here and do some touring tomorrow. There is a railway link to a look out on top of a nearby hill, plus the distillery tour, so will start with those. No photos for the past couple of days, as it was pouring rain in Florida, but more to come with the next ...
What was all the worrying about!
... found a place on the main road called the Pickle Barrel, and ventured in. Steve explained to the barmaid that we had no ID and could we buy a drink, she looked a bit doubtful, but a guy (who we thought was the owner) took one look at us and said 'no problem' huh! He could have hesitated for a few seconds! The barmaid asked if we wanted to sit at the bar or at a table in the lounge area. Steve said (to my horror)the bar will be fine. ...
Short and Sweet
... on to Warner-Robins, GA where we planned to stay with Ible's parents. There were many things we could have done along the way, but we still were tired from not only D.C., but from the entire trip in general. The traveling and constant moving around from one place to the next (plus all of the stress that along with such a trip) began to take it's toll on us. So, reluctantly, we decided to push our way to GA, the next day.

73's Cruise By Sharks in 6-1 Win on Home Ice; Wheaton Shutout Streak Stopped
Fire Prevention Week as Sparky and a few others from the Essex Fire & Rescue Services came out to promote their open house and Fire Prevention Week. Photo by Laurie Beaten
By: Garrett Fodor
The Essex 73's continued their impressive streak of late as they sunk the Wheatley Sharks by a 6-1 score Tuesday.
Essex began the scoring with a pair of goals in the eleventh minute of play just thirty seconds apart. Defenseman Adam Giairin opened the scoring when his rocket from the point beat Sharks net minder Adam Leboeuf. Sniper Phil Janikowski doubled the lead beating Leboeuf high on the glove side. Max Viselli closed out the scoring in the opening
period redirecting a point shot to send Essex to the dressing room with a 3-0 edge.
Period two was not much better for Leboeuf as he continued to get bombarded with pucks with little defense to support him. Essex went on to add another pair in the frame for a comfortable 5-0 cushion heading into the third period. Goals came off the sticks off veteran Dallas Pereira and rookie Brett Vorshuk in the period.
Heading into Tuesday's game, Essex goaltender Trevor Wheaton had back to back shutout performances, and was looking for the "hat trick" so to speak. Michael Vieira increased the lead to 6-0 mid period. The Sharks played a fairly solid period however and refused to give up. With just under five minutes remaining Wheaton's shutout streak was over as former 73 Andy Gossman scored after an Essex turnover.
Phil Janikowski finished the evening with three points, but feels his evenings success was due to his team mates. "It felt great contributing offensively, but I think my success tonight came from playing our systems and having a bit of luck," Janikowski said. "I feel heading into our next game we need to work on our defensive game a bit more, and we certainly can't take Wallaceburg lightly. If we don't improve our defensive zone coverage, somewhere down the road it will come back and bite us."
Essex will be on the road Wednesday when they visit the Lakers in Wallaceburg.
Wheaton Shuts Door on Kings For Shutout Number Three on The Season
By: Kevin E. Neels
Essex net minder Trevor Wheaton shut the door for the second consecutive game, and for the third time this season in leading the Essex 73's to a 6-0 victory in Dresden Friday evening.
Wheaton stopped 24 shots to earn the win. Offensively, former Canadiens winger Tyler Turner had a great night with four assists, while rookie Alixe Saliba added a pair of goals.
Essex dominated the opening period but could manage just a single goal from Phil Janikowski at 17:43 on a redirect off a point shot. This goal also ended the night for Kings goaltender Joel Sowinski as he needed to be helped off the ice as he could not get up after the goal. It looked like Sowinski may have pulled a muscle or injured his leg during the play.
The 73's continued to check Dresden into the ice in the middle period as the home team could not get anything going. In the meantime the 73's continued to increase their lead. Max Viselli scored on a power play before rookie Alixe Saliba notched a pair before the second intermission.
Period three was a long drawn out affair with the number of penalties called, and the Essex penalty kill was superlative as they managed to kill off a 5 minute major, and a five on three during the period. In between all the penalties Essex added another pair of scores for good measure. Michael Vieira cashed in at the 12:20 mark, and rookie Brett Vorshuk scored his first goal in a 73 uniform 16 seconds later after a nifty move around a Kings defender, and walking in untouched to beat backup goaltender Jake Wilkens with a quick snap shot.
Alixe Saliba, who had originally signed a contract with Tecumseh said, "I wanted to play Jr. C this year, and see what it was all about, and so far I am really enjoying myself. It has been a challenge, but I feel I am up for it. I consider myself a sniper for the most part, but I don't mind throwing the body around either. I am hoping this team can have another season similar to last year, and I am looking forward to being a part of it."
Essex will return home Tuesday to host the Wheatley Sharks at 7:00 pm.
Blades Not Too Sharp Against 73's in 4-0 Loss
By: Garrett Fodor
Tuesday night the Essex 73's hosted the Blenheim Blades after a week long hiatus, and they did not disappoint as they dropped the visitors 4-0.
Right from the get go the 73's were quick to control the puck and put the visiting Blades behind the eight ball. In fact just 56 ticks after the opening face-off Phil Janikowski converted on a 2 on 1 beating Blades goaltender Eric Stewardson high on the blocker side taking out the water bottle in the process. From there Essex' Captain Matthew Hebert doubled the score with a backhander, and, closing out the scoring in period one was another returning veteran player William Stadder. Stadder capitalized on the power play after a huge rebound from Stewardson.
Period two was less on the offensive side and more on the aggressive side. Rookie Alixe Saliba added his second goal on the season three minutes in as he unleashed a rocket of a snap shot beating Stewardson just below the cross bar on the glove side. At this point the Blades tried to get Essex off their game with the physical stuff, whether it was taking out 73's net minder Trevor Wheaton or finishing their checks with that little extra shove, it was all to
no avail as the 73's held on to the 4-0 lead heading into the intermission.
The final frame did not have much in the way of offensive opportunities as Essex was content with their lead and focused on the defensive aspect of the game by playing solid, smart hockey. Trevor Wheaton finished the night with 24 saves to record his second shutout of the early season.
"I felt we played well tonight, and am encouraged with what I saw out there tonight." said, Head Coach Gil Langlois, "The two practices we had between games really helped. We played much better as a unit, and we had our legs, but there is still room for improvement. Since day one, Wheaton has done what we expected. He has played solid,
made some key saves, and his being vocal out there has really helped our young guys out."
Essex' next stop will be Friday night in Dresden when they will visit the Jr. Kings.
73's Bounce Back With 3-1 Win Over Dresden Jr Kings
By: Garrett Fodor
The Essex 73's hosted the Dresden Jr. Kings Tuesday evening, and for a second straight game their offense was almost nonexistent as they grinded out a 3-1 win. With the Integrity Amherstburg Admirals shutting out the 73's Sunday evening for their first loss of the campaign, Essex was looking to bounce
back Tuesday. Essex managed to do that, but barely.
William Stadder scored the lone goal in the opening period with three minutes remaining with Essex having the man advantage. Stadder shot the puck from the half boards and Kings net minder Joel Sowinski was unable to control the puck as it deflected in off his glove. Sowinski kept his team in the game in the opening frame as Essex shooters bombarded him with 18 shots, while his counterpart Trevor Wheaton faced just 9 pucks.
In the second both teams tried to muster up some offense combining for 27 shots. Like period one the 554 in attendance had little to cheer about as offense was hard to come by. Both teams struggled defensively at times as well. The 73's increased their lead to 2-0 briefly as Phil Janikowski beat Sowinski high glove side with three minutes remaining in the period, but just 39 ticks later the visitors were on the score sheet as Derek Daly beat Wheaton low to the blocker side off a scramble. The net was dislodged slightly when the puck went in, and Wheaton was clearly upset with the officials that the goal had been allowed, and had words with the referee at period end.
In the final frame Essex padded their lead with a goal coming off the stick of Michael Vieira. Vieira was the recipient of a gift after Dallas Pereira drove to the net forcing Sowinski to make a great save, but the rebound was not contained and Vieira smartly following up the play tapped in the rebound for his fourth goal of the season.
The final shots on goal favoured Essex 42-36.
"It feels good to get the offensive game going, but there is always room for improvement," said, Vieira, "It was good to get back into the win column and end our loss streak at just 1. After Sunday, we talked about last year, and that drove us to play better tonight. Overall we have to work harder on our defensive game, and , perform the jobs we have been asked to do."
After a hectic few weeks Essex will now enjoy a week off before hosting the Blenheim Blades next Tuesday at 7:00 pm.
Admirals Defeat 73's In Long Drawn Out Contest
The Integrity Amherstburg Admirals handed the Essex 73's their first defeat Sunday evening in a long evening of hockey. The game was stopped on a number of occasions due to poor ice conditions allowing the arena staff to do some repair work on the ruts and holes left on the ice. With 13:52 remaining in the third period the on ice officials decided to play the remainder of the game on rink two. When all was said and done the Admirals grabbed the two points in a 2-0 shutout.
Former Leamington Flyer Blaine Bechard beat former teammate Trevor Wheaton on a long shot which Wheaton wishes he could have taken back at the 10:11 mark of the opening period. This was all the scoring the home team would need on the night as Essex could not get anything going. It was one of those games where the puck would not stay on the 73's sticks, due to unlucky bounces or fanned shots etc.
The final goal on the evening came off the stick of Dylan Muzzatti as he deposited the puck into an empty Essex net with thirty ticks left on the clock.
Trevor Wheaton suffered his first loss of the season while his counterpart Connor Meyerink earned the win. "It was a long week of hockey for us, and maybe some of our legs just were not there, but we can't make any excuses," said, Dallas Pereira, "This was a game I am sure both clubs had marked on their calendars, but in the end they gave the extra effort. We have to be better, in fact we are better, but we did not show it tonight. We are not that concerned too much at this point as it is just game five of the season."
Essex returns home Tuesday evening to host the Dresden Jr. Kings at 7:00 pm.
Kyle Spearing Wins Silver at Special Olympics North America
The Essex 73's congratulated Kyle Spearing - son of goalie coach Brian - before Tuesday's game against Mooretown. Kyle won a Silver medal recently at the Special Olympics North American (SONA) Golf Tournament at Port Royal Golf Course in Hilton Island, South Carolina.
SONA is the largest event outside of the World Games.
The Silver medal means Kyle now qualifies for the Provincial Champiosnhips next year. His goal, ultimately, is National Championships and hopefully the World Games in 2018.
Best of luck, Kyle!
73's Offense Too Much For Visiting Flags
By: Garrett Fodor
24 hours after their convincing 9-1 win over Wheatley the 73's were at it again. They hosted the Mooretown Flags Tuesday, and the locals continued to roll with limited rest, cruising to a 5-1 victory.
Much like their season opener, the scoring was opened 85 ticks in as Tyler Scott found the back of the net behind Flags goaltender Brandon Johnson, who paid the price when he was caught cheating on his positioning. Scott made no mistake blowing a slap shot into the top corner, blocker side. Mooretown was quick to silence the crowd however as a couple of good shifts paid off when Brent Blais capitalized by beating Trevor Wheaton a few minutes later. Captain Matthew Hebert scored on a beautiful solo effort less than two minutes later to send the home team into the intermission with a slim one goal margin.
After scoring twice the previous evening in Wheatley Michael Vieira lit the lamp early in period two to give the 73's some breathing room. Despite the one sided territorial play the locals managed just one more tally in the period when Scott notched his second of the night on an Essex power play.
In the third and final frame Mooretown goaltender Brandon Johnson continued this heavy workload facing another 18 shots for a total of 54 on the night. His counterpart Trevor Wheaton faced 6 for a total of 25. William Stadder was the lone goal scorer in period three as he tipped in a point shot while on another power play.
The newest member of the 73's, defenseman Kade McKibbon, who at just 15 years old, has 5 points in his first two games for the club. "It feels good to not only be playing here, but putting up some points and helping contribute to the team's success, " said, McKibbon. "I grew up watching the 73's, and playing here is a dream come true. I need to strengthen my defensive play at this level, and become
more physical against the bigger boys, but as the year goes on that will come."
Essex concludes the home and home with the Flags on Friday evening in Mooretown with an
8:00 pm start.
73's Home Opener Celebration Includes Honourary Members of all 7 Schmalz Cup Wins
Frank Matthys Named Essex Citizen of the Year 2015
by Sylene Argent
Frank Matthys, now 89-years old, is affectionately known to many as "Mr. Essex 73." This volunteer has been involved with the Essex 73's since the hockey team's inception 42 years ago.
In recognition of the years of dedication Mathys has devoted to the local Junior "C" hockey team, he was named Essex's 2015 Citizen of the Year. The announcement was made on the Unifor Local 444 main stage during the Essex Fun Fest's Saturday evening festivities.
"What he does for our hockey club is irreplaceable," 73's General Manager Scott Miller said during the announcement.
Miller supported the nomination made in Mathys's honour that Ron Campbell had put-forth. "He's like a father to every player on this team."
Miller commented that Matthys is always around the arena completing jobs and various tasks to aid the players and the club. Some mornings, before Miller heads to work, he'll stop by the arena quickly and Matthys will be there already, doing the laundry or completing some other duty, like cleaning equipment.
Miller claimed Matthys is the only man in Ontario who can lay claim to having won seven all-Ontario Schmaltz Cup championships as he has been a volunteer with the team when it has earned each of these titles. Miller noted Mathys also helped lay bricks for the Memorial Arena when it was erected in the early 1960s.
"Today, he's on the bench every game. He rarely misses a game," Miller commented.
Campbell noted he approached Miller to support the nomination he made for Matthys nearing the deadline for the award nominations. He chose to put Mathys forward because of the years of dedication he has shown to the 73's and community.
"I didn't know about it, it was a big surprise," Matthys commented after learning he was chosen to be Essex's 2015 Citizen of the Year. "I feel good. I'm ready for another season."
The Essex Rotary Club, Heritage Essex, the Essex-based Knights of Columbus, and the Town of Essex present the Citizen of the Year award each year. This program has been ongoing since 1978 to recognize the volunteer efforts of some of Essex's community-minded residents.
A banquet will be held in the fall to honour Matthys for his years of contribution. This event will double as a fundraiser for Heritage Essex.
OHA Releases Championship Video On Essex 73's 7th Schmalz Cup
Essex Wins Game Seven Battle to Claim Seventh Schmalz Cup
By: Kevin E. Neels
The Essex 73's had four chances to capture their seventh Schmalz Cup heading into game four with a 3-0 series lead over a tough Port Hope Panthers hockey club. The Panthers proved how tough they were as they went on to defeat the 73's in the next three games to even the series at 3-3 and force a seventh and deciding game in the friendly rink they call home.
If the 73's were to claim the championship they would need to adjust their game and get back to solid defense, something that lacked in the three Panthers victories. Either way, this was predicted to be a great game from two teams that have been very evenly matched.
At the end of the night, it was indeed defense that turned the trick for the 73's, as Noah Hedrick shutout Port Hope for the second time in the series, this time by a slim 1-0 score.
Period one was scoreless as Hedrick, and his counterpart Devan Tremblay were unbeatable with the home team having an 11-8 shot advantage.
Essex held a slim 6-5 shot advantage in the middle frame but managed to score the game's only goal as Jordan Ryan beat Tremblay late in the period on a feed from Tyler Scott.
The Panthers held a 9-7 advantage in shots in period three but could not get the equalizer.
This was a classic game for a game seven. Shots were very close with both teams getting their chances, and the key, only one power play in the entire sixty minutes, a rarity at this level of hockey, but a rarity that we wish would could see more often.
Congratulations to the Port Hope Panthers on a great season, and a great series, and congratulations to the Essex 73's on capturing Schmalz Cup number seven
Port Hope Edged 1-0 In Game 7 Of Schmalz Cup Final
Courtesy of North Cumberland Today
PORT HOPE - In the end, the Port Hope Panthers didn't have one more rally left in them.
They couldn't have come much closer to winning the Ontario Hockey Association junior C championship series, though, but it was just out of their grasp.
The Panthers had rallied from a 3-0 series deficit to force Game 7 on Friday night, but the visiting Essex 73's earned a 1-0 victory to capture the Schmalz Cup in front of 1,200 spectators at the Jack Burger Sports Complex in Port Hope.
Jordan Ryan scored the lone goal for Essex with 3:09 left in the second period. That put the Panthers in the position of trying to battle back the rest of the way.
"It's always tough to lose and it's tough to lose at this stage (of the season), but I'm proud of them," Panthers head coach Mat Goody said of his players. "I'm proud of the way they fought back and they should be proud of themselves. It was a hard fought battle. Credit to (Essex), they played a tight game. It was a good hockey game and the community should be proud of these guys too for the way they conducted themselves all season."
It was May of last year that the Panthers began this run to the Schmalz Cup final. That was when rookie camp was held with the return of Goody as head coach and the goal of reaching the OHA championship junior C championship .
It was perhaps a lofty goal considering the Panthers had been eliminated in the first round of the Empire Junior C Hockey League playoffs the previous season, but the club was setting its goals high.
They finished the 2014-2015 Empire regular campaign with a first-place record of 31-8-1, which was 18 points ahead of the second-place Napanee Raiders.
In the Empire playoffs, the Panthers defeated the defending champion Picton Pirates in five games and then swept Napanee in four games in the league final.
In the OHA Schmalz Cup playoffs, the Panthers knocked off the Clarington Eagles in six games in the quarterfinals and swept the Alliston Hornets four straight in the semifinals.
Trailing 3-0 in the championship series against Essex, the Panthers could have swept.
Goody believes the way his club rebounded made it a better experience, despite the Game 7 defeat.
"I think it would have hurt more going out four straight," he remarked. "Now we know what those guys felt like for the last two years. They've battled through adversity themselves – they've got guys there that have been through (losing) twice. Congratulations to them and it's exciting how far we came in a year as a year. It's important that we take the good from this and move forward."
Essex was playing in their third straight Schmalz Cup final after losing to Picton in 2013 and the Lakefield Chiefs in 2014.
Scott Bromley, the 73s captain, played on both those teams and noted it was the fourth straight year for his club in the Schmalz Cup playoffs that he's been a part of.
While Bromley said it was "amazing" to finally be victorious, he acknowledged it wasn't easy.
"Port Hope was a heck of a team, making that three-game comeback, so we had to really rally back together," Bromley said. "They gave us our best run yet and that was a fun series to play in. Kudos to them, they did an awesome job."
Bromley said the73s were able to overcome the Port Hope rally in the series because of the camaraderie amongst the players.
"A lot of us are best friends and hang out outside the arena so it was pretty easy for our leaders to rally the guys because say one thing and all these guys jump on board because we're such good friends," he remarked. "I'm super happy for all the guys on our team. I'm super proud of all the young guys who came in and bought into the systems and everything."
This was expected to be a rebuilding season for the 73s.
"We lost our two main goal scorers and a couple really key defencemen, so it was supposed to be a rebuilding year," Bromley said. "We got a lot of good guys who came out to our camp. We're not the most skilled team ever, but we have a whole group of 20 guys who buy into the systems. All the guys here did an amazing year."
Friday's Game 7 was the final junior contest for Bromley, Ryan – who scored the decisive goal in his swan song – Daniel McIntyre and Daniel Slipchuk.
"I'm just so proud of our boys," said Essex head coach Gil Langlois. "You look at the two teams and they probably had more skill than we did, but we just found a way to get it done here today. A 1-0 victory is so sweet, especially for the four overagers. A couple of them have been with me for the four years.
"We exceeded our expectations coming into the season because we had so many new guys and two rookie goalies."
Like Bromley, Langlois gave kudos to the Panthers.
"You have to tip your hat to Port Hope 100%," he said. "They work so hard and it's been said before, the first three games a bounce here or a bounce there it would have been a totally different outcome (in those games) probably. They're well-coached and they played hard. What I enjoyed about today's game, there was no goofiness, the kids stuck to hockey and really had a commitment to playing the game and winning.
"I applaud Port Hope's tenacity," Langlois added. "They're a very good team."
The 73s made the long trek home to Essex, near Windsor, after the game Friday.
"It's going to be a nice ride home," Langlois said. "A long one, but a nice one."
Panthers coach Goody, meanwhile, gave praise to his overagers who played their final junior game. They were captain Jacob Spicer, Tyler Davey, Connor Turland, Dylan Baxter and goaltender Devan Tremblay.
"Those guys have a special place in my heart and they're good people and they have bright future ahead of them," he said.
Spicer remained positive even when the Panthers fell behind 3-0 in the series. He said in an interview with Northumberland Today at the time that his club had an opportunity facing elimination. He wasn't pleased for the Panthers to be down three games to none, but he suggested how it great of a win it would be to rally and win in such dramatic fashion.
After that, the Panthers won three straight and were just short of the championship victory.
"Anytime you're down 3-0, especially in the final, and you have enough character in the room to even come back and force it to Game 7, it's a privilege," Spicer said. It sucks to fall short, but at the same time I'm proud to fall short with that team. I wouldn't want to go through it with any other guys. That was my best year of hockey."
Spicer played five seasons for the Panthers and it was his first time in front of a sell-out crowd at the Jack Burger Sports Complex.
"It's great, win or lose, to know we have that much support," Spicer said. "I've never in my life played in front of an electric crowd like that. To end my career like that, even though we lost, it's nice to know I and the team had all that support."

1999 Jeep Cherokee SE 2dr SUV
Bought this very basic 4x4 last summer with 125k on the clock, and just grow more enthusiastic every day. Its not a luxury car, but is very tractable on-road and there is NO vehicle still in production in 2008 that can come anywhere close to matching it for balancing on-road manners and sheer offroad capability. Its also built like a tank and is unbelievably reliable. Important stuff just does not fail on this car. Fuel econ. is quite good in commuting. They're so common that they're almost forgotten- but just look around you in traffic some day and start counting, and note how many still look great. Then remember there hasn't been a new one built for 7 years. Take THAT, Toyota.
Ruggedness and reliability.
Just come up with a real replacement! The Liberty is OK, but gives up too much in offroad capability and is too complex for the gains in on-road manners. The FJ Cruiser is a plastic-encased joke, and the Escape/Tribute is a FWD pretending to be a 4x4. This is a totally empty market segment currently

I think that the fact that you want it all the time and you beg him for it can be a possible turn off for him. Some men loves the chase and brings excitement and makes them feel dominant in the bedroom.

We've heard that the next big paradigm shift in electric vehicle acceptance will come with more 150- or 200-mile EVs. But a new study called Optimizing and Diversifying Electric Vehicle Driving Range for US Drivers says that cars that can go that far really won't make sense for anyone to buy until the battery cost can be dropped to $100 per kilowatt hour. Automakers today are incredibly secretive about how much each kWh in a pack costs, but it's safe to say we're nowhere near that goal just yet.

More than a decade after terrorists used planes to attack the United States, the Transportation Security Administration slowly has carved out a series of exceptions to its strict airport-screening rules, allowing some passengers to avoid at least some of the inconveniences and intrusions that rank-and-file passengers withstand.
Military personnel and anyone 12 and younger get to keep their shoes or boots on as they go through the scanners, while those 75 and older get to keep shoes and light jackets on. Then there's the Trusted Traveler program, in which some regular fliers earn expedited screening at some airports.
But for the rest of us, the shoes-off, coats-in-bins walk-through remains, as the TSA tries to strike a balance between risk and perception, and defends itself against pointed barbs every time a passenger's complaints of poor treatment make the news.
This week, TSA and Defense Department officials testified to Congress that they will continue searching for ways to help military troops speed through the lines after President Obama in January authorized the TSA to do so.
Bill Smullen, director of national security studies at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, said reforms in TSA's airport-screening policies are needed, though he cautioned the agency to be careful.
"A uniform and haircut do not a soldier make," Mr. Smullen said. "Yes, you may have an ID card and that may help validate (whether a person is in the military) to a degree, but [it's not] foolproof. So I would be very cautious making too lenient a policy."
But Mr. Smullen, a retired Army colonel, said current screening policies are too convoluted, too complex and too imprecise. And he and other national security experts say examining ways to exempt low-risk segments of the population, such as those in the military, seniors and children, is a good first step.
The threat of terrorism "is always going to be there, but we're punishing I think too many for things that are unlikely to happen from within" the United States, he said. "We ought to be far more concerned from a threat that is going to come from outside."
"Most of us aren't a threat to anyone except ourselves, probably," he said.
Noah Shachtman, a national security expert at the Brookings Institution, a liberal-leaning Washington policy institute, applauded the loosening of airport security for some groups, saying it's "just smart."The agency's move toward a more risk-based security system allows security officials more time concentrate on higher-risk categories of people, he said.
"The idea of searching through grandma's underwear and fondling some 6-year-old kid is ludicrous," Mr. Shachtman said. "Politically, you want to do this in steps. You want to start with the most obvious non-threats and move on from there … . We just can't keep this (current system) up forever."
Israel's airport-security system, considered by many the most strict and effective in the world, uses such a risk-based approach.
TSA says it makes allowances for children and seniors based on "intelligence and history."
"The same intelligence and history have shown us that allowing travelers in the age range of 75 and older to leave their shoes and light outerwear on, and children to leave their shoes on, poses less risk to aviation security," TSA spokesman Nico Melendez said.
TSA adds that children and seniors will continue to undergo some level of screening.
Chris McLaughlin, TSA's assistant administrator for security operations, told the House Homeland Security transportation security subcommittee on Wednesday that screening polices are "evolving." He added that the new law requiring his agency to come up with a plan to whisk military personnel through airport security checkpoints was unnecessary because "we were compliant with the law before it was enacted."
While no successful major terrorist attacks have occurred in U.S. airports, airplanes or airspace since 2001, some high-profile attempts, including the would-be "shoe-bomber" and the would-be "underwear bomber," slipped through on-ground checks before being uncovered in the air - a point critics of "one-size-fits-all" security policies say highlights the need for reforms.
Inflexible security rules are also hurt the economy by discouraging air travel, said Lon Anderson, a spokesman with the travelers advocacy group AAA Mid-Atlantic.
"Our CEO has already suggested that it's time for our current air-security system to migrate more toward a threat-based system, rather than assuming that everybody that enters the airport every day in American is an equal threat," he said.
