Has Michael Crick selected the Tory Candidate for Battersea?

It would not surprise me at all to find out that the tory party's new "open selection" system for candidates has resulted in Labour activists deciding who the Tory candidate is (see Recess Monkey).

I would be more surprised if Michael Crick had managed to be one of the 300 voters as they should be able to recognise him.

Still if you allow the Labour Party to select the Tory Candidates that is one way of making the Tories the same as Labour.

Or you could go to Aberdeen where the Lib Dems and Tories are nearly as tight together as Birmingham's Tories and their Lib Dem puppies. See: http://ridiculouspolitics.blogspot.com/2006/10/lib-dem-says-you-may-as-well-vote-tory_05.html

What a ridiculous comment from Bob Piper. John was writing about the open selection the Tories were holding, and Mr Piper shows a complete lack of knowledge and chooses to compare chalk with cheese.

Or you could go to Iraq where you can see how aligned the Labour government is with the US neo-cons.

norfolk blogger... John was saying it "is one way of making the Tories the same as Labour" all I was doing was pointing out that there are other ways of being the same as the Tories...

manfarang... oh no, not the spectre of communism. Pathetic.

Trudiagnostic change PACE leaderboard algorithm - was in position 40, now position 44 - does it matter?

Trudiagnostic have changed the way they handle the Rejuvenation Olympics Leaderboard algorithm. The result of this initially was that I was globally no 40 and have now dropped to 44. Trudiagnostic are a US company that get samples of blood and they look at the DNA to see which parts of the DNA have methyl groups (CH3) attached to them. These modifications to DNA are called methylation markers. DunedinPACE is an algorithm which uses DNA methylation markers in white blood cells to work out how quickly or slowly someone is aging. I had three results on this. The odd thing about the results was that whilst my epigenetic age calculated from the same methylation markers was going down, the speed at which I was aging was going up. I find this somewhat counterintuitive. It is, however, I think relevant that in a global contest my approach on biochemistry which is quite different to many other people's does seem to keep up with others working in the same area. To that extent it...
