Doctors have been urged to be more cautious in offering cancer treatment to terminally-ill patients as chemotherapy can often do more harm than good, a study suggests.
Patients with incurable cancers were promised much greater access to the latest drugs which could offer them extra months or years of life by a Department of Health review last week.
Such medicines are often taken or injected as part of a “cocktail” of chemotherapy drugs.
But the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) found that more than four in ten patients who received chemotherapy towards the end of life suffered potentially fatal effects from the drugs, and treatment was “inappropriate” in nearly a fifth of cases.

The University of Oxford is seeking a permanent exclusion zone around its animal research laboratory, which opened yesterday.
A temporary injunction already in place restricts people from demonstrating within a certain radius of its Biomedical Sciences Building but the university wants to make this permanent at a court hearing scheduled for next year.
Demonstrations and the intimidation of contractors and staff by animal rights activists delayed the building’s completion by about two years and although the university said that it does not yet have a figure for the lab’s final cost it is believed that the total sum far exceeds the published figure of £18m.
As well as restricting demonstrations near the laboratory, the injunction prohibits picketing or demonstrating within 100 yards of the residence of any protected person, and bans people from identifying or following vehicles entering or leaving the exclusion zone.

‘A stunning light display over Saturn has stumped scientists who say it behaves unlike any other planetary aurora known in our solar system. The blueish-green glow was found over the ringed planet’s north polar region just like Earth’s northern lights. It was discovered by the infrared instruments on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.’
‘We’ve never seen an aurora like this elsewhere,’ said Tom Stallard, a scientist working with Cassini data at the University of Leicester.
‘This aurora covers an enormous area across the pole. Our current ideas on what forms Saturn’s aurora predict that this region should be empty, so finding such a bright aurora here is a fantastic surprise.’

‘MORE than 50 million African workers are to be invited to Europe in a far-reaching secretive migration deal, the Daily Express can reveal today. A controversial taxpayer-funded “job centre” opened in Mali this week is just the first step towards promoting “free movement of people in Africa and the EU”.
Brussels economists claim Britain and other EU states will “need” 56 million immigrant workers between them by 2050 to make up for the “demographic decline” due to falling birth rates and rising death rates across Europe.
The report, by the EU statistical agency Eurostat, warns that vast numbers of migrants could be needed to meet the shortfall in two years if Europe is to have a hope of funding the pension and health needs of its growing elderly population.
It states: “Countries with low fertility rates could require a significant number of immigrants over the coming decades if they want to maintain the existing number of people of working age.
“Having sufficient people of working age is vital for the economy and for tax revenue.”
The report, by French MEP Francoise Castex, calls for immigrants to be given legal rights and access to social welfare provision such as benefits.

‘It has plagued scientists and politicians for decades, but scientists now say global warming is not the problem.
We are actually heading for the next Ice Age, they claim. British and Canadian experts warned the big freeze could bury the east of Britain in 6,000ft of ice.
And what’s more, the experts blame the global change on falling - rather than climbing - levels of greenhouse gases.
Lead author Thomas Crowley from the University of Edinburgh and Canadian colleague William Hyde say that currently vilified greenhouse gases – such as carbon dioxide – could actually be the key to averting the chill.
The Earth has seen dramatic climate fluctuations – veering between cold and warm extremes - over the past three million years, the researchers say.
And changes in the Earth’s orbit and slowly falling levels of carbon dioxide are the cause.
The team says we are approaching a turning point, in the next 10,000 to 100,000 years, which will lead to the new ice sheets smothering much of Europe, Asia and South America.
The theory, which is based on computer models, suggests ice sheets will also slash sea levels by up to 300m, so Russia and Alaska will be connected by land.
The North Sea will become part of a huge glacier stretching from Holland and Scandinavia to the Russian Far East.

‘Acupuncturists, Chinese medicine practitioners and medical herbalists should be formally regulated to ensure they are “fit to practise”, the Health Professions Council (HPC) told the Government today. The professions are not currently subject to statutory regulation but the HPC formally recommended a system was introduced to make it easier to ensure people were “meeting standards”.’

‘Police will today reveal that NO murders took place at a notorious former children’s home in Jersey. In an extradordinary step, officers probing the deaths of up to six youngsters at the Haute de la Garenne home will tell a news conference that ‘nobody was killed.’ The officers, brought in from English forces following the retirement of Jersey’s deputy police chief Lenny Harper in August, are also expected to ridicule all suggestions that the home had turned into ‘some kind of House of Horrors.’

‘The word ‘British’ can be as offensive as ‘negro’ and ‘half-caste’, according to a race relations body. The publicly-funded organisation’s views have been adopted by Caerphilly council in South Wales for a leaflet advising staff on how to deal with the public.
In a section on what words or phrases not to use to avoid causing offence, the leaflet solemnly informs the council’s 9,000 workers: ‘The idea of “British” implies a false sense of unity – many Scots, Welsh and Irish resist being called British and the land denoted by the term contains a wide variety of cultures, languages and religions.’

A young woman has been found hanged in Bridgend, taking the toll of suicides by young people in the area to 24 since the start of last year.
Another 23 young people aged 15 to 27 have been found hanged in the borough of Bridgend since the start of 2007.
But South Wales police say there is no link between the deaths.
A spokesman said: “We were called to a report of a sudden death of a 25 year old woman in Bridgend. The death is not being treated as suspicious. A file is being compiled on behalf of the coroner.
“There are clearly similarities between recent sudden deaths in Bridgend but we can confirm our investigations have by no means uncovered any criminal evidence that links them.”

‘Up until the 1990s, no research had ever been conducted to determine the impact of fluoride on the pineal gland - a small gland located between the two hemispheres of the brain that regulates the production of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate the onset of puberty and helps protect the body from cell damage caused by free radicals.
It is now known - thanks to the meticulous research of Dr.jennifer Luke from the University of Surrey in England - that the pineal gland is the primary target of fluoride accumilation within the body.‘

The Strategic Health Authority (SHA) acting with the Primary Care Trust (PCT) - parts of the NHS are currently ‘looking’ at evidence to help them reach their decision on whether to fluoridate the water in the Southamtpon area - this would also include other areas outside of southamtpon city itself.
They plan to put 112.3 tonnes of fluoricidic acid into the water. This isn’t pure pharmaceutical grade fluoride but industrial waste probably from the Netherlands where its use is banned just like in most other European countries. Along with the fluoride ions you get heavy metals like mercury and lead - they are essentially dumping.
The SHA report is here: www.southcentral.nhs.uk/fluoridation (under consultation documents)
You can also click on share your views to fill in an online form and let them know what you think!!!
I think that if this goes through it could signal a roll out of Fluoridation in a lot more areas - they are trying their luck again…so by no means is this an isolated event. 90 % of Southampton residents in a wessex poll were against it, but that isn’t stopping them.
The report itself seems to read like a sales brochure, not an impartial, peer reviewed balanced investigation. And why would it be balanced - the government funded it and they want to fluoridate.
They concentrate on teeth, the scientific link between better dental health and fluoridation being tenuous at best. Very few studies into health effects have been looked at. Those that have been done worldwide at higher than 1ppm, but the SHA say they are only going to look at studies at 1ppm - those studies haven’t been done in the fluoridated countries. how convenient…..-thus they don’t mention those real studies that show adverse health effects.
I suspect they may think they’ve made up their minds already, but hopefully our views will still be taken into account. if enough people come forward they won’t be able to push it through.
The last date for evidence is December the 19th 2008 and they’ll make their decision in Jan/Feb next year.
There are two question time events left before the deadline. Both are at St.Mary’s stadium (In the Mick Channon suite) between 7-9 pm
The first is on the 18th of November and the second, December the 3rd.

Professor Paul Connett acting as part of Hampshire against fluoride takes the report apart and exposes it for what it is; a public relations exercise.
He was professor of chemistry at St. Lawrence University and has spent 12 years looking at both the environmental and toxicological effects of fluoride including neurological, osteopathic and thyroid disorders that have been linked to its use even at modest doses.

Every secondary school is to get a Holocaust specialist to ensure that the subject is taught comprehensively and sensitively.
One teacher from every school will be offered a place on a Holocaust education training course to combat racism and intolerance.
One in ten of those who take the course will also be able to take a master’s degree module in Holocaust education, as part of a £1.5 million scheme run by the Institute of Education.
Teachers will discuss parts of the subject that they find difficult to teach and work on lesson plans with experts on how to broach the issue.
Stuart Foster, director of the project, said: “There are increasing concerns in society about intolerance and racism. The BNP is coming to the forefront, and there’s increased anti-Semitism.”
The initiative is designed to maintain awareness of the Nazi’s systematic massacre of the Jews during the Second World War as survivor numbers dwindle, Times Educational Supplement reports

Such shocking brutality is, of course, well known in Spain’s bullrings. But what is not known is that our money is being used to finance this ritual slaughter. For I can reveal that the European Union is spending £30million a year to support Spanish bullfights, which this year will kill at least 40,000 bulls.
The EU has even renovated bullrings and is being pressured by the Spanish into recognising bullfighting as representing Europe’s cultural heritage. Such a move would make it virtually impossible to outlaw and indeed would lend it a veneer of respectability in the eyes of the world.
‘We have been trying to stop the EU from subsidising Spanish bullfights, but so far without success,’ says Neil Parish, Conservative MEP and chairman of the European Parliament’s Agriculture Committee.
‘British taxpayers’ money should not be used to support bullfighting. It’s an abhorrent spectacle. I would like to see it banned but if we can’t do that then the least the EU should do is stop subsidising it.’

Jeanette Atkinson is surprisingly relaxed about the time she died and went to the edge of heaven.
“I do not want to die again in the near future because I still have too much to do,” she says. “But I have no fear of death.
“People see the pain and suffering of dying and equate that with death - but they’re not the same. Death is the progression of life.”
Jeanette, a 43-year-old student nurse from Eastbourne, had a near-death experience in 1979 when she was just 18-years-old. It was triggered when a blood clot in her leg broke up into seven pieces and clogged the main vessels in her lungs, starving her body of oxygen. The doctors were certain that she would die. She did – but then returned to tell the tale.
“The first thing I noticed was that the world changed,” says Jeanette. “The light became softer but clearer. Suddenly there was no pain. All I could see was my body from the chest downwards and I noticed that the time was 9:00pm.
“In an instant I found myself looking at the ceiling. It was only a few inches away. I remember thinking it was about time they cleaned the dust from the striplights!
“I then went on a little journey around the ward and along the corridor to see what the nurses were up to. One was writing on a notepad. It never occurred to me that I was dying. It was a lovely experience and very, very serene.”

Every person has a unique fragrance, similar to a fingerprint or DNA sample, which could be used to create a database of human scents, scientists said.
Eating powerful foods such as chili or garlic may change how we smell, but it does disguise our underlying genetically-determined aroma, tests on mice have shown. Creatures who were given strong-smelling foods were still recognised by their peers.
The signature smells may have evolved to help in choosing mates and marking out territories.
Jae Kwak, lead author of the study at Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, said that the research suggested that “odourprinting” could soon have a practical use.
“These findings indicate that biologically based odourprints, like fingerprints, could be a reliable way to identify individuals,” he said.

Britain’s security agencies and police would be given unprecedented and legally binding powers to ban the media from reporting matters of national security, under proposals being discussed in Whitehall.
The Intelligence and Security Committee, the parliamentary watchdog of the intelligence and security agencies which has a cross-party membership from both Houses, wants to press ministers to introduce legislation that would prevent news outlets from reporting stories deemed by the Government to be against the interests of national security.
The committee also wants to censor reporting of police operations that are deemed to have implications for national security. The ISC is to recommend in its next report, out at the end of the year, that a commission be set up to look into its plans, according to senior Whitehall sources.
The ISC holds huge clout within Whitehall. It receives secret briefings from MI5, MI6 and GCHQ and is highly influential in forming government policy. Kim Howells, a respected former Foreign Office minister, was recently appointed its chairman. Under the existing voluntary code of conduct, known as the DA-Notice system, the Government can request that the media does not report a story. However, the committee’s members are particularly worried about leaks, which, they believe, could derail investigations and the reporting of which needs to be banned by legislation.
Civil liberties groups say these restrictions would be “very dangerous” and “damaging for public accountability”. They also point out that censoring journalists when the leaks come from officials is unjustified.

‘Council house tenancies for life are likely to be scrapped under radical Government plans to ease the chronic housing shortage. Tenants would instead be given fixed-term contracts with regular reviews to ensure their circumstances entitle them to subsidised housing, it was reported last night. Those whose financial situation improves will be forced to move into the private sector, purchase part-ownership of their home or face higher rents. The right to a council house could also be made conditional on tenants having or actively looking for a job.’

Grand Rapids, Mich. has become the most recent city to question the practice of fluoridating public water, as part of a growing tendency for local governments to question the use of many chemicals that formerly been taken for granted.
“I think this pattern has been growing because there is better environmental health research that draws connections between low levels of chemical exposure and changes in our bodies,” said Dr. Howard Hu of the University of Michigan. “As the research has become more sophisticated, it shows that environmental toxicants can do other things beyond just kill you: they can stunt your growth, change behavior and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.”
Grand Rapids was the first city in the world to fluoride its public water supply, based on assurances from the government that the chemical reduces the risk of tooth decay while posing no serious risks. But based on a number of studies linking fluoride to problems with the thyroid, kidneys, central nervous system and skeletal system - including cancers - the city’s director of environmental sustainability, Corky Overmyer, has ordered a new review of the scientific evidence concerning the risks and benefits of the chemical.
“This has been on my radar screen for a while,” Overmyer said.
Overmyer says that while he has not drawn any conclusions about the safety fluoride, the scientific evidence gave him reason enough for concern. Having already gotten chlorine removed from the city’s water supply several years ago, Overmyer did not expect the vicious backlash that developed to his questioning of fluoride. From large medical associations to the mayor and even his own dentist, Overmyer’s decision has drawn fierce criticism.
“I had no idea [fluoride] was that sensitive an issue,” Overymyer said.
Fluoridation opponents have cheered the news, however, confident that the scientific evidence will speak for itself.
“If Grand Rapids falls, that could be the beginning of the end of fluoride,” said Paul Connett, director of the Fluoride Action Network.

Unauthorised patrols of several northern Italian cities have been underway for the last year and authorities have turned a blind eye to them as concerned locals fight back against rising crime rates.
Under the proposals by the anti-immigration Northern League, the vigilante patrols would have the backing of the local police. The plan is now to be considered by the Italian Upper House.
Another controversial proposal by the Northern League the introduction of a referendum before a mosque or other place of worship is built.
The League is part of centre right Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s coalition. Mr Berlusconi was elected on a tough law and order campaign.
Northern League MP Mario Borghezio said: “Thanks to the initiatives of the Northern League these ronde (vigilante) patrols will soon be working with the forces of law and order.
“Now all honest citizens will no longer feel that they have to hand over the areas where they live to criminals, drug dealers and prostitutes. It’s a very proud day.”

Please look at these words and take in the meanings for these are the words of slavery.
Constitution: The fundamental law, written or unwritten, that establishes the character of a government by defining the basic principles to which a society must conform.
Statute; A legislative rule of society given the force of law by the consent of the governed, an established law or rule, as of a corporation.
From neuter of Latin Status: Law the; legal character or condition of a person or thing:
Enforced by: Statutory instruments and using statutory penalties.
Society; In the civil law, by society is meant a partnership, a society is a number of persons united together by mutual consent, in order to deliberate, determine, and act jointly for some ‘common purpose’.
Law; A rule of conduct or procedure established by custom, agreement, or authority.
Legislative; Of or relating to the enactment of laws.
Statutory: Created, defined, or relating to a statute; required by statute; conforming to a statute.
Instrument; a written legal document such as a contract, lease, deed, will or bond
Penalty; Something, especially a sum of money, required as a forfeit for an offense.
Forfeit; Something surrendered or subject to surrender as punishment for a breach of contract.
A statutory penalty, for example, is punishment in the form of a fine, prison sentence, or both, that is imposed against an offender for committing some statutory violation.
People of certain persuasion say that we must always live in a ‘society’ with a constitution written or un-written; persons united together by mutual consent, in order to deliberate, determine, and act jointly for some ‘common purpose’, a partnership that requires consent from all parties.
A partnership with a ‘common purpose’ for a ‘society’; the socially dominant members of a ‘community’.
The constitutional (statute) law of this country and the society that we have been forced to live in, has been created over hundreds of years with the manipulation of statute law. Simply to fool the people into giving their consent to law that is, specifically designed, to extract money from them to maintain the ‘rule makers’ social dominance. Their legal fictitious standing in a society they have created, that is only beneficial to that fictitious dominant element. A false partnership that only works one way built on a foundation of complete corruption, manipulation and deceit, and most importantly ‘slavery’.
Lets take council tax as an example; council tax is a statutory instrument that came into force on 1st April 93. The statute that created this was the Local Government Finance Act 1992. This is a created legal document; a contract, a monetary contract that needs your consent!
Have you consented to this and if you did where did you sign?
When you do not pay you suffer a penalty, a forfeit by way of money, your goods or your liberty, surrendered as punishment for breach of contract.
How can this apply if you did not consent? Or did you without realising it? (More on this later)
Historians and constitutional experts will tell you that parliament was devised to give the people a voice, the house’s of representation, where the members are the representatives of the people, enacting laws on behalf of the people, under the mandate of the people, asserted by a general election, to the overall majority party winning the election.
Please look at the word: Mandate
1. An act by which one individual empowers another individual to conduct transactions for an individual in that person’s name.
2. From the very term of the definition, that the parties, should voluntarily intend to enter into the contract.
This is what the historians have been employed to do, to hide the real truth.
The members of parliament are a corporation registered on Dunn and Bradstreet: as a ‘for profit’ organisation. When you vote in an election all you do is elect new directors to head up this corporation. Please do not take my word for this check it out for yourselves. MP’s are basically salesmen working for the corporation and the one simple golden rule of salesmanship is to make the person you are selling too, believe, they need what you have for sale. This is over seen by the corporation advocates (lawyers, Barristers) to make sure the contracts are fulfilled on behalf of the corporation using the judiciary. One of these advocates was Tony Blair who became prime minister. Mr Blair studied law at ‘oxford’ before becoming a lawyer. Some of the directors are employed purposely as opposition to maintain the illusion of representation to make you ‘think’ the government work for you.
Political parties were designed to achieve this offering the MP’s everything they required to allow them to maintain, they will be in the socially dominant part of society. This is done with great ease relying on a simple weaknesses of human kind; greed. By using the egotistic, materialistic world, with their illusion of betterment within this world.

On the outskirts of creation, unknown, unseen “structures” are tugging on our universe like cosmic magnets, a controversial new study says.
Everything in the known universe is said to be racing toward the massive clumps of matter at more than 2 million miles (3.2 million kilometers) an hour—a movement the researchers have dubbed dark flow.
The presence of the extra-universal matter suggests that our universe is part of something bigger—a multiverse—and that whatever is out there is very different from the universe we know, according to study leader Alexander Kashlinsky, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
The theory could rewrite the laws of physics. Current models say the known, or visible, universe—which extends as far as light could have traveled since the big bang—is essentially the same as the rest of space-time (the three dimensions of space plus time).

Gordon Brown is to lobby European leaders on behalf of Barack Obama to send more troops to Afghanistan.
Obama has repeatedly called on Europe to “share the burden” in the conflict and it is expected to be the central theme of his first visit after his inauguration next year.
Whitehall and diplomatic sources have revealed that Brown is to act as Obama’s agent in Europe, calling on other Nato leaders to find more soldiers and resources for the Afghan conflict.

MPs were at the centre of a new pay row last night over plans to spend £1.5million on a fresh layer of Commons bureaucracy that would give some backbenchers a £13,000 salary hike.
Plans have been put forward to create new Commons committees with more staff, travel and accommodation costs, as well as extra pay for an elite group of MPs.
The huge package - to be formally proposed by Commons Leader Harriet Harman on Wednesday - includes a £1million network of eight new English ‘regional committees’ to oversee Labour’s controversial English regional development agencies.
Each would be made up of nine MPs, including a chairman earning up to £13,713 on top of the normal MP’s salary of about £62,000.
Ms Harman will also propose eight new ‘grand committees’ for the English regions outside London, at a cost of more than £300,000. The chairman of each would receive a pay-hike of up to £5,200.
Gordon Brown has specifically requested a new ‘Speaker’s Conference’, costing an estimated £261,075 over the next two years, to try to increase election turn out and regenerate public interest in politics.

High Street banks have told Alistair Darling they will not pass on any further interest rate cuts to consumers and businesses.
The banks have warned the chancellor they are “not charities”. They said they could not afford further to reduce mortgage payments and interest rates to businesses if, as expected, the Bank of England continued to cut rates as the economy fell deeper into recession.
The tough line from the banks will anger taxpayers, coming just a month after the government injected £37 billion into Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), HBOS and Lloyds TSB to protect them from the credit crunch. Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley have already been rescued by the taxpayer.

All crimes are commercial and have a commercial value to them. It makes you look at improvements to the freeways, cities and towns in a different light … especially when those improvements are funded by ‘municipal bonds.’ You’ll also understand why there’s no hurry to end the war in Iraq.
All criminal prosecution is for the purpose for raising revenue for the United States. Now you’ll have a better understanding of why people are in jail, why they are in prison, why they are on probation and why they are charged with everything from jaywalking on up through murder one.
An American soldier who dies in Afghanistan and Iraq probably carries a $10 million life insurance on him carried by the government. After all, every soldier, marine, or air force person is an asset to the United States. They have a huge investment in that particular soldier and his activity and it can explain why it is that the US is not so anxious to withdraw its troops from that area. It’s a money making activity and they don’t want to talk about the fact that they are making money on death and that they are making money from the incarceration and imprisonment of many otherwise good hearted people who have not necessarily committed otherwise serious crimes.
