Expenses probe MPs could still

The three MPs facing criminal charges over their expenses could still receive tens of thousands of pounds in "golden goodbyes" on stepping down from the Commons, it has emerged.

Labour MPs Elliot Morley, Jim Devine and David Chaytor are likely to get the payments because they will still be "innocent until proven guilty" by the time of the General Election.

All three deny allegations of false accounting, and have pledged to defend themselves "robustly".

Legal advisers to Speaker John Bercow are understood to have been examining whether the resettlement grants could be withheld or delayed while the court process is completed.

However, they have yet to find a way that satisfies "natural justice" as the men have not been convicted of any crime.

MPs are entitled to payoffs of up to Pounds 65,000 when they leave Parliament at an election, depending on their age and length of service.

Under new rules expected to be passed over the next few days, members who refuse to hand over money demanded by Sir Thomas Legg's audit of expenses from 2004-8 will face having the money docked from any pay, allowances or grants due.

However, Mr Morley, Mr Devine and Mr Chaytor were not examined as part of the process because a police investigation was already under way - potentially making efforts to claw back cash more difficult.

The news emerged amid growing anger at the suggestion that the MPs could rely on the principle of Replica Chanel Watch parliamentary privilege to argue they are exempt from prosecution.

Aides to David Cameron said he was "disgusted" by the idea, while Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said the public would be "appalled".

The parties were also ramping up their wider battle to be seen as the toughest on political sleaze.

The Tory leader used a webcast to berate Gordon Brown for failing to take the "opportunity" presented by the expenses crisis for cleaning up Westminster.

He said the Government was holding up key reforms proposed by the elected committee on reform of Parliament, chaired by Labour backbencher Dr Tony Wright - including electing committee officials and reducing the executive's control over parliamentary business.

"I just don't know how (the PM) has got the nerve to talk about cleaning up politics," the Conservative leader said. Juicy Couture Bags Replica "What did he do last week? Instead of clearing up this mess, he comes up with a plan for a new voting system. I think that is crazy.

"So this is what I think we should do next week: Call off that ridiculous debate on Alternative Vote. Stop MPs going home early for half-term. And let's get these new ideas debated."

Mr Cameron will seek to reinforce his reforming credentials again on Monday when he delivers a speech on his ideas for fixing the "broken Parliament".

But Mr Brown - who expressed "anger" at the alleged expenses abuses by his MPs - used an interview with the Observer to lambast the Conservative Party's "scandalous" lack of transparency over its funding arrangements.

He urged journalists and the public to "press" Mr Cameron and shadow ministers over donations the party receives from its deputy chairman

Experienced Terps expecting to

Maryland men's lacrosse entered last season ranked third nationally by Face-Off Yearbook despite fielding a squad loaded with sophomores.

Those players are a year older and a year wiser now so head coach Dave Cottle finds it interesting the Terrapins are No. 8 in the Nike/ Inside Lacrosse preseason poll that was released earlier this month.

"That is why I don't pay a whole lot of attention to rankings. We're no more the eighth-ranked team to start Marc Jacobs Fake Handbags this season than we were the third-ranked team going into last season," said Cottle, an Edgewater resident. "I feel we're a much better team than a year ago."

Maryland will field a club comprised of 22 juniors and just eight seniors in 2010. The Terrapins boast arguably the nation's most talented attack unit and figure to also be extremely strong on the defensive end of the field. If Cottle can rebuild the midfield and goalkeeper Brian Phipps can perform at a high level following offseason surgery, the Terrapins could surprise.

"This should be the year we benefit from guys having gotten a lot of playing experience as freshmen and sophomores," Cottle said.

Maryland returns so many outstanding attackmen that Cottle will be forced to play some at midfield. Grant Catalino, who led the team in scoring with 47 points on Jimmy Choo Replica 25 goals and 22 assists in 2009, will anchor the second midfield in tomorrow's season opener versus top- ranked and defending national champion Syracuse.

"Grant played some midfield toward the end of last season. He is a tremendous outside shooter so he fits well up top in the offense," Cottle said of the 6-foot-5, 225-pound junior.

Will Yeatman, who is even bigger than Catalino at 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds, is currently running with the first midfield. The San Diego native, who ranked fourth on the squad with 28 points last season, requested the position change.

"Will came into my office and said he wanted to try midfield. He knew we had an overload of attackmen and believed he was better suited to moving to midfield than the other guys," Cottle said. "Will felt the team needed a signature middie and he wants to be that guy."

Yeatman, who started at tight end for Notre Dame as a true freshman and will join the Maryland football team next fall, certainly has the athletic ability to get up and down the field.

"Will has really Replica valentino Handbags committed to playing midfield and has done a really good job of picking up the defensive fundamentals that are required," Cottle said.

Maryland will open the season with an attack comprised of behind- the-net quarterback-feeder Ryan Young, left-handed shooter Travis Reed (Boys' Latin) and inside finisher Joe Cummings (Loyola).

After starting as a freshman and scoring 20 goals, Reed was hobbled by a knee injury and started only eight of 16 games in 2009, but still finished with 16 goals. "Travis is very slick, very good off the ball and a very accurate shooter," Cottle said.

Young (Manhasset, N.Y.) ranked second on the squad with 40 points last season in being named a second team All-American. Cummings, a sophomore who scored 12 goals in a reserve role a year ago, has forced his way into the lineup with a superb preseason camp.

Slash victim scarred for life

A YOUNG man from Crowborough has been left scarred for life after a vicious knife assault in a Tunbridge Wells nightclub.

Richard Tester, 21, was left with an six-inch wound across his face and another to his shoulder after being slashed with a weapon thought to be a Stanley knife.

The incident took place in El Mono, Calverley Road, on Saturday night after Mr Tester got into an argument with a group of men.

"At first I thought he had hit me with the palm of his hand," said Mr Tester, from Fermor Way. "It was only when I saw other people's expressions that I knew something was wrong.

"I touched my face and then I saw all the blood."

Plastic surgery Mr Tester may now need plastic surgery but said the wounds were not just skin-deep.

He said: "I can't sleep because I dream about it, I can't get it out of my mind.

"I'm a flat roofer so I can't go back to work yet and it's hard to see people when I'm looking like this.

"It affects every part of my life."

The incident took place at around midnight on Saturday, when Mr Tester claims his friend was assaulted by another man.

He said: "I went over to have a word with the guy who had done it. There were about seven of them."

He said he saw "one man's arm move" and was left with gaping cuts to his face and arm. The police were called and he was taken to Kent and Sussex Hospital where he was given more than 25 stitches to his face and 10 stitches to his shoulder.

According to Mr Tester the police recovered a "Stanley knifestyle weapon" in the club.

A police spokesman would only confirm that a 21-year-old Crowborough man suffered injuries thought to be caused by a sharp bladed instrument during an altercation between two groups of people.

Two men were arrested and are currently on bail while police continue their inquiries.

Neighbourhood Inspector Simon Wilshaw said: "We have visited the premises to discuss the incident with the licensee and will continue to work with them to ensure the safety and security of their customers.

"They have agreed to increase security and proof of age checks for people entering the club."

But Mr Tester wants more to be done.

He said: "I am really angry with the club.

"How does someone get in with a knife? "I want to see the guy who did this punished. I just don't understand how anyone can just casually stick a knife in someone's face."

Recuperating No-one from El Mono was available to comment.

For now Mr Tester is recuperating with his girlfriend, but knows there is still a long road ahead of him.

He said: "The doctor is talking about plastic surgery but I've said I don't want to go under the knife again.

"My mum still hasn't seen me. That's going to be hard because I know as soon as she sees my face she'll burst into tears."

Anyone who has information about the incident can call police on 01732 379217.

Staff Reports

Pub boss gave officers cannabi

A PUB boss who provided undercover police with drugs has walked free from court - despite a suspended prison sentence hanging over him.

Matthew Spencer, 32, supplied cannabis and cocaine to officers who befriended him and who he thought were new customers at his bar.

Spencer had no idea the men were test-purchase officers working for North Yorkshire Police as part of Operation Decaf in the summer of 2008.

Teesside Crown Court heard the undercover policemen supplied Spencer with cut-price training shoes and clothes as they tried to gain his trust.

On three occasions in June and July, Spencer acted as a go- between to get the officers cannabis, and also provided them with two wraps of cocaine.

In November 2008, the former soldier was arrested at The Ship, in Richmond, where he was the manager, and he had a small amount of cannabis.

It later emerged that he was on a suspended prison sentence for bigamy - after getting married in 2006 when he was still married to another woman.

Spencer married a fellow soldier's daughter while serving at an Army base in Wales in 1998, but separated three years later, after having a daughter.

He was then posted to Northern Ireland, refused to sign divorce papers, lost contact with his wife, and met and married another woman in 2006.

In January 2008, he was given a nine-month prison sentence, suspended for a year, with an electronic tag curfew by Judge Guy Whitburn.

Five months later, he was acting as an intermediary for the bogus drugusers and a supplier when he worked in the Bishop Blaizes, in Richmond.

Mark Styles, mitigating, told the court that Spencer was "pestered" by the officers to get him Hermes Bags Replica drugs, and was encouraged by the cheap goods.

"It was really foolishness on his part, " Mr Styles told Judge Peter Bowers on Friday.

"This is a man who clearly ought to have known better.

"They became what he thought was friendly. . . he thought he was doing these people a favour. . . he was, essentially, acting as a go- between."

Spencer, of Darlington Lane, Richmond, admitted four charges of supplying drugs, one of offering to supply them and one of possession.

He was given a nine month prison sentence, suspended for a year, with Probation Service supervision, and 250 hours of unpaid community work.

Judge Bowers, who also ordered former Royal Signalman Spencer to pay [pounds]400 costs, told him: "This is the last chance you'll get.

You don't get another one.

"If I thought for a moment that you had made any gain out of this, you would have gone immediately to prison.

"I am quite satisfied that you thought the officers were your mates, and you were simply doing them a good turn by, effectively, acting as a middle-man."

Life-long bonds forged in swea

WHEN cane cutter Terry McKeough arrived home after a day at work his skin was black from head to toe. Only his eyeballs glowed white.

He was only a 15-year-old boy when he joined his first cane- cutting gang at Broadwater. It was not a job for the faint-hearted.

The men worked from dawn until dusk and had to contend with rats and snakes in the fields.

During the hotter months the cane exuded a sticky molasses-like substance, which mixed in with the black ash on the skin and attracted stinging bees.

The hard work formed strong bonds in the gangs. Mr McKeough worked in a gang that cut together for 18 years.

In 1974 the last sugar cane crop was harvested by hand, and Mr McKeough worked a harvesting machine for another decade.

Many of the cane cutters haven't seen each other since 1974 and tomorrow they will come together at the cane-cutters' reunion at paper bag printing the Broadwater Community Hall.

Haulers, derrickmen and boat crews who worked in the Broadwater area will also join their old comrades.

Some are travelling from as far afield as Moree, Mildura, Brisbane and Far North Queensland.

The reunion has been organised by Mr McKeough and his cane- cutting mate, John Day, of Broadwater.

The men are expecting nearly 300 people tomorrow and are hoping for fine weather.

Cynthia McKeough, like many other wives in the area, has been cooking up a storm to help feed the troops.

Her contribution includes a date and caramel slice and pumpkin scones, which will go down a treat with a hot cup of tea.

REUNION DETAILS

Meet: 10am.

Venue: Broadwater Community Hall.

Who: All cane cutters, derrickmen and boat crews who worked in the Broadwater area prior to the introduction of mechanical harvesting.

Wives and partners most welcome too.

BBQ lunch: $10 per person.

Refreshments: Coffee and tea provided, BYO all other drinks.

Memorabilia: Some cutting knives, photographs, etc.

Motorcycling friends killed in

TWO friends were killed in a West Yorkshire motorcycling tragedy.

The men died in the accident at Standbridge Lane in Wakefield on Saturday evening.

The victims were riding together at the time of the crash, with one on a Harley Davidson and the other on a Kawasaki.

A Ford Fiesta was also involved in the tragedy, catalog printing but the vehicle's driver was unhurt.

Police have not named either of the dead motorcyclists or given any further details at this time.

Anyone who witnessed the accident at around 5.30pm should call West Yorkshire Police's Major Collision Inquiry Team on 01924 293045.

Motorist convicted of causing

The 46-year-old Commonwealth Games medallist died almost instantly after his bike was hit by the black 308 Peugeot car of Michael Gerard Croome during a cycle race on August 12, 2008.

The 26-year-old former call-centre worker with an address on Belfast's Cliftonville Road - but who also lived in Prior Warf, Chester while working at another centre in England - had denied causing his death by dangerous driving.

Croome, who has convictions for speeding and later disqualified from driving for six months, was freed on continuing bail and will be sentenced later.

It had taken the Antrim Crown Court jury of 10 men and two women six-and-a-half hours over two days to convict Croome by a majority of 10 to two and reject his Fendi Replica Handbags case that he was not driving too fast or close to the cyclists as they raced along the Belfast Road at Nutts Corner.
They had heard that the cyclist, who'd represented Northern Ireland at major international competitions for decades, had just completed the first lap of the nine-mile course in the road race between Maryland Wheelers and the Phoenix Cycle club.

Mr McCall, who was in the second group of racing cyclists, was also second last in the line of six bikes when he was struck from behind as they raced towards the Nutts Corner junction.

Croome's case was that he was driving at between 40 and 50 miles an hour, and that the accident occurred after Mr McCall veered into his path while avoiding a small black dog which ran onto the road.

The jury also heard that following the impact between Mr McCall's cycle and Croome's overtaking Peugeot car, the bicycle was snapped
in two and Mr McCall was thrown into the air.

However, while the site of the actual impact is unknown, a forensic expert estimated that he could have been thrown anywhere from almost 60 to nearly 90 metres after bouncing off the windscreen of the Peugeot.
Mr McCall, a father of two, worked as a Civil Servant, and held a long list of honours.

He competed in four Commonwealth Games before setting up his company 'SportActive' which offered cycling and walking activity breaks in Europe.
In the week that Croome was convicted the David McCall Cycling Foundation, which was established to promote cycling in Ulster and keep David's name alive, announced three major awards. The foundation will be supporting two Womens Training Camps in the near future and will also be the main sponsor for the Cycling Ulster team in this year's international Tour of the North cycle race at Easter. It consists of four members of Maryland Wheelers, one member of Phoenix CC, a representative from Cycling Ulster and David's daughter Emma McCall. Funds have been raised by the cycling fraternity from throughout Ireland and abroad.
Cycling Ulster Chairman Tommy Lamb paid tribute to Mr McCall after last week's verdict.
"Davy was a legend in Irish fake rolex cycling. He was a top international rider who represented both Northern Ireland and Ireland on the world stage. Not only was he a top sporting star but he was also a very down to earth person, easily approachable and willing to pass on his knowledge and skills to a new generation of racing cyclists" he said.
"Many top athletes leave their sport when they retire but Davy was passionate about cycling and continued to race at a local level with his Lisburn based Maryland Wheelers club. Not only that but he also qualified as a commissaire (cycling referee) and gave freely of his time in helping to organise races throughout the country. I knew Davy for almost 30 years and he was a perfect gentleman and a role model for all aspiring athletes. He had time for everyone from the complete novice right through to our professional riders. "
Mr Lamb said Cycling Uls

Former south China police officer admits taking bribes

Ye pleaded for leniency in sentencing.

Former provincial political advisor in east China gets life in prison

HANGHZOU, Jan. 23 (Xinhua) -- A former senior provincial political advisor in east China's Zhejiang Province was sentenced to life in jail on Friday for bribery and power abuse.

Dai Beijun, chairman of the Human Resources and Environment Committee of Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), was also deprived of political rights for Giordano Watch life, according to a verdict handed down by a first instance court in Hangzhou city.

Living on the edge

These ladies prove that they are as impervious as their better halves, who love throwing caution to the wind in pursuit of their dreams. We are referring to the wives of those rock-solid men who challenge the impossible - from motocross to bike rallying to road racing to paragliding to serving in the army, navy and air force. A profession such as these needs unprecedented amounts of valour on the part of both - the man who chooses it for a living, and his wife who has no choice but to live with her husband's pick.

Tanaaz is the wife of Shyam Kothari, one of the leading motocross and bike experts in the country. "Though my husband has stopped competitive racing now, I am aware of the panic I would occasionally become a victim of in the past. He was a replica balenciaga handbags national champion in all the three - motocross, road racing and bike rallies. Each of these comes with its own risk, which is exactly why it's indulged into," she says. Shyam used to race during the better part of their courtship period and also when Tanaaz was a young bride. She recalls, "I would literally wait for his phone call post-race. I never cared whether he won or lost, for his safety was most important." She says one however has to realise that these men are trained professionals and they know how to take care of themselves.

Ferishte Chindy's husband and son are heavily into motocross and dirt racing. "You get used to the anxiety, for at the most, they'd just break a hand. I am never exactly worried about them because we do know that a little risk is involved and are mentally prepared replica rolex to deal with it. At least on the track one knows that people are going to ride fast. On the streets however, you do not know what may happen and that is when you are most unprepared," she says.

Amrita Solanki (name changed on request) has learnt to deal with the fear associated with being an army man's wife. "As far as death is concerned, it can happen anywhere, whether one is in Mumbai or Delhi. I am never anxious about the fact that my husband is usually stationed in dangerous areas. I am proud that he is rendering his services to his country," she smiles.

Anita Malik and her husband Amarjit (ex IAF), have been running Temple Pilots, a paragliding school and flying club for 12 years. She says, "Like any other extreme sport, it has its do's and don'ts. With a good attitude and discipline, nothing goes wrong. I trust his ability as a pilot and I know he will not cross the line. I feel driving in Pune (which I do) is far more dangerous than flying on my paraglider!"

The spy who duped me

My Boyfriend the MI5 Hoaxer

C4, 7.30pm

MEN. What are they like? They'll tell you anything; they once played rugby for Scotland, as a schoolboy they won a first prize in a national art competition, or once dated a girl whose sister was runner-up in Miss Renfrewshire.

Well, that's all fine; people like to stretch the elastic of their background a little. But how far can you go before you wreck people's lives? That's the theme of this documementary which looks at an innocent teenage girl's year-long relationship with the man she thought was an MI5 agent.

Nineteen-year-old Oxford jewellery shop assistant Leanne McCarthy found herself trapped in a modern nightmare of kidnap, fear and mind control when she met 23-year-old conman Wayne Gouveia.

Wayne, who worked in a whisky shop in the same street, swept Leanne off her feet on several lavish dates. He then set out to cleverly and meticulously convince Leanne he was an MI5 agent, assigned to protect her shop from a ruthless gang of jewel thieves. The couple then embarked on a year of madness involving late-night stake-outs, car chases, safe-houses, narrow escapes and, in between, going on glamorous trips abroad.

Yes, you can see why Leanne was seduced. She got to play James Bond's girlfriend for a whole year. But of course the pretend Bond couldn't keep the performance up. Leanne's doubts about Wayne's world grew as their adventures got darker and his behaviour became increasingly controlling. But sadly, she was driven to the brink of madness, and replica breitling watches getting away from him became a matter of survival.

The rise of India

THE Economic Times, India's premier financial broadsheet, has predicted that India will be the new economic superpower by 2020. Is it possible?

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A thunderous wave of ebullience for Asia's economies in 2010 and beyond, forget China, Japan or even South Korea. In fact, forget all the rest of Asia's - but India. Who says? The Economic Times, India's premier financial broadsheet. That's who. The front page of its Jan 1, 2010 edition emblazoned the headline India World No 1 in 2020. The sub-headline: `Ageing Dragon will make way for the new king of the jungles'.

The `ageing dragon' refers to China, of course. The language was as effusive as it was also pointed. India, the article says, would seriously challenge the supremacy of the United States and China as the world's number one and two economies, respectively. Indeed, it even hints that by 2020, India could overtake China, at the very least. But China, amongst others, will do its damnedest to halt the charge of India into becoming a global superpower in its own right.

But before you start condemning the article's futuristic projections for India's economy as a case of `pigs might fly too', it's worth contextualizing the predictions on the one hand, and on the other measuring it against present-day realities in India.

And bear in mind that in the space of the next decade, anything can happen. Anything is possible. Just as it was in the last decade when the world's economies grew and grew before the 2008-09 bubble, wrapped in cheap money, imploded. And in 1997-98 when most of Asia's debt-ridden sandcastle economies were whacked sideways and two or three were almost buried. And in the same decade become desperately recessed, even depressed, after witnessing its phenomenal rise in the 1980s. Until today, Japan is struggling to re-emerge to reclaim its old juggernaut status.

The Economic Times article says don't hold your breath over Japan's re- emergence any time soon. But China's problems will soon start to reflect Japan's demographically, as its population starts to age. India's, though, is becoming more and more literate than China's. By 2020, Indians will give birth to another 500 million babies, taking India's population then to about 1.5-plus billion people. How will India house, feed, educate and give them jobs?

Add rapidly growing literacy rates - a misnomer if you come to India since many do not speak the world's lingua franca and could not care less - India's workforce will be positioned to take advantage of information technology growth and development. Mergers and acquisitions of global media houses such as Rupert Murdoch's and The New York Times by Indian business giants also seem `certain'.

Conversely, China will suffer the Japanese syndrome of a rapidly ageing population that, in turn, will affect final demand. So much so Beijing's capitalist regime (it is communist only in name) will see growth decelerate. Beijing will revalue its currency. Nothing new here since China has routinely manipulated its currency anyway vis-a-vis the greenback.

Moreover, China's export-growth model will come under stress. Again, nothing new here either, as most of Asia's economies have proven this problem, more or less, since the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s. But China's problem is links of london charms particularly acute since the bulk of its foreign revenues come from the export of its cheap manufactures. It'll be forced to re-model its growth strategy going forward, and probably sooner rather than later. Imagine a world without cheap Chinese exports.
