Rochester, Minn.
Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
This randomized pilot phase II trial studies how well serum bovine immunoglobulin protein isolate works in improving quality of life and post-operative recovery in patients with gynecological cancer after undergoing surgery. Serum bovine immunoglobulin supplementation may improve the quality of life of patients with gynecological cancer.

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well transoral surgery followed by low-dose or standard-dose radiation therapy works in treating patients with human papilloma virus positive stage III-IVA oral cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known how much extra treatment needs to be given after surgery.
The overall purpose of the study is to determine if MEDI-551, when used in combination with salvage chemotherapy, Ifosfamide-carboplatin-etoposide (ICE) or Dexamethasone-cytarabine (DHAP) in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who are eligible for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT), has superior efficacy compared to rituximab in the same population.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well standard systemic chemotherapy followed by intensified radiochemotherapy or standard radiochemotherapy preceded by intensified systemic chemotherapy works compared to standard systemic chemotherapy followed by standard radiochemotherapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride or FOLFIRINOX, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs, such as capecitabine, may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving radiation therapy in different ways and adding chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether standard systemic chemotherapy followed by standard radiochemotherapy is more effective than standard systemic chemotherapy followed by intensified radiochemotherapy or standard radiochemotherapy preceded by intensified systemic chemotherapy in treating pancreatic cancer.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, also work in different ways to kill cancer cells or stop them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of mantle cell lymphoma by blocking blood flow to the cancer. It is not yet known whether giving rituximab together with bendamustine and bortezomib is more effective than rituximab and bendamustine, followed by rituximab alone or with lenalidomide in treating mantle cell lymphoma.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial studies rituximab, bortezomib, bendamustine, and lenalidomide in treating previously untreated older patients with mantle cell lymphoma.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.
This is an open label study of BBI608 in combination with cetuximab, panitumumab or capecitabine in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
This study will evaluate feasibility and acceptability of providing the Dignity Therapy/Life Plan intervention to newly-diagnosed pancreatic cancer patients presenting for initial chemotherapy in the outpatient medical oncology setting. Investigators hypothesize that providing dignity therapy to this population will be feasible.
This phase II pilot trial studies how well ruxolitinib phosphate and danazol work in treating anemia in patients with myelofibrosis. Ruxolitinib phosphate and danazol may cause the body to make more red blood cells. They are used to treat anemia in patients with myelofibrosis.
This study is being conducted to examine the safety and tolerability of SGN-LIV1A in patients with metastatic breast cancer, and to find the highest dose of the drug that can be given without unacceptable side effects. Other goals of the trial are to find out if SGN-LIV1A has any antitumor effects, to learn about the pharmacokinetics of SGN-LIV1A, and to explore the relationship between antigen expression and SGN-LIV1A effects.
Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as one of the top Cancer hospitals in the nation for 2014-2015 by U.S. News & World Report.
Mayo Clinic in Arizona is nationally-ranked in Cancer for 2014-2015 by U.S. News & World Report.

No more will the night rider in Bangalore city be made to breathe into a analyser to test for alcohol consumption. Now the police have procured 200 new alcometers which make the task much easier. They just hold the device in their hands as they engage the motorist in conversation, and the device spits out a reading.
The device analyses the presence of alcohol from ones breath and saliva, Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Praveen Sood told The Hindu on Wednesday. Several motorists objected to the way in which the old alchometers were being kept in the mouth of one motorist after another without the device being cleaned. Sometimes the old device even fails to give out a reading.
The new alcometers have been purchased under the Bangalore Traffic Improvement Project (B-TRAC). The new device that costs Rs. 25,000, helps the police get a preliminary reading on alcohol presence in the body. If the reading is below 30, then the motorist will be let off. If it is more, then a case will be booked and the motorist will be sent to a nearby government hospital for further testing, Mr. Sood said.
The new alcometers have been in operation for the past three months. So far, the city traffic police have booked 17,000 cases using the new device.

These shotgun sling mount systems permit the operator to mount the weapon on either the primary or offside shoulder. As a result, during dynamic entries it becomes easier to "cut the pie" at doorways and move around corners, whether they are on the right side or left side, without telegraphing the operator's position. In addition, slings attached to a single point mount work especially well when operators are deployed wearing body armor or are involved in breeching operations. The preferred mounting point for slings of this type is directly behind the receiver and in front of the buttstock.
GG&G has introduced a Single Point Rear Sling Attachment for the Remington Model 870 and Mossberg 590 combat shotguns. The Remington Model will also fit the Remington 1100 and 1187 shotguns, while the Mossberg Model will fit the Mossberg 500 shotgun. Precision machined from 7075 aircraft grade billet aluminum alloy and Type III hard anodized matte black, this shotgun sling attachment has been designed for the rigors associated with professional use. This GG&G Single Point Rear Sling Attachment will accommodate slings up to 1 1/4" in width and will also accept the excellent Chalker sling system. These sling swivels can easily be installed by the operator. A dual point sling system can also be employed with this attachment.Customers who bought this item also purchased

Flower Card for Mom
By: Amber Dyer
Make this fun and easy flower card for Mother's day. The 3-D effect really is neat and the kids will have so much fun making it.
- Cardstock
- Construction paper
- Tissue paper
- Glue
You take little scraps of tissue paper (about 1 inch size) and crumple them into little tiny balls. Then you glue. That's it.
I started by making the line down with glue for the stem of the flower. Then I covered that with the little green tissue balls. Next, I added the green construction paper leaves left over from our last project. I outlined the leaves in glue and added the tissue paper here. Then I drew the flower center and then the petals one by one.
- This makes a sweet flower for the front of the card to give to mom or grandma on Mother's Day. It would also be cute to do different designs such as a butterfly, heart, or the letters M-O-M.

Bryant McKinnie restructures deal
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie restructured his contract Tuesday to remain with the team.
Hensley: Is McKinnie Reliable?
Bryant McKinnie is, in fact, still a Raven. But can Baltimore rely on the veteran to protect Joe Flacco's blind side? Jamison Hensley examines. Blog
At one point during negotiations, McKinnie walked away from the table and posted on Twitter that his time with the Ravens was over. His tweet shortly before noon read: "Decision is made! I'm gone!"
But the sides reconvened later, and the 6-foot-8, 360-pound left tackle begrudgingly reworked his contract rather than start to look for another job. He was supposed to receive a $3.2 million base salary in 2012, his second year with the Ravens.
"He's been a part of us. He never left us," coach John Harbaugh said late Tuesday afternoon. "I'm excited about Bryant, always have been, just like I told him. I have a lot of respect for him as a football player. I love his style of play. We're going to be a strong offensive line and he's a big part of it."
Asked if the salary adjustment could be a distraction, Harbaugh said, "Really no concern about that. I don't think it will be an issue at all. Guys are pros and guys understand the business aspect of all this stuff. He's a great guy, he's a hard worker and he's a pro. He's a Raven and I'm really happy about that. He seems happy about it, too."
McKinnie signed with Baltimore during the offseason last year and started all 16 games. After reporting late to camp this summer because of a back injury, he played with the second-team offense for a few weeks before regaining the starting job on the left side of the line.
"Bryant's a hardworking guy. That's our expectation," Harbaugh said. "Our expectation is that guys come out, practice hard and practice fast and give us their best. He's always doing that. I think he continues to work his way back toward that Pro Bowl form. Both he and I agree that's our goal for him. We talked about that as far as last winter."

With Ryan back on the trading block, the Sabres are back in the hunt for his services. Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News is the bringer of good and bad news — Ryan would be cool with a deal to the Sabres, according to a source close to him, but that the Philadelphia Flyers are probably still the frontrunner for his services:
Any deal with Buffalo would likely include Derek Roy, whom the Sabres have been shopping for the past two summers. Ryan doesn't have reservations about coming to Buffalo other than its need for a true playmaker. That would make Philly a better fit at this point.
The Flyers unloaded James van Riemsdyk in the trade with Toronto, leaving them in search of a bigger winger. Ryan played his youth hockey in South Jersey, just outside Philly. Ryan has grown comfortable in the West Coast but has made it clear he no longer wants to remain in the organization.
(Keep in mind Ryan can't prevent a trade, but one assumes the Ducks would send him somewhere he wants to play.)
We still can't figure out if the majority of Ryan's outburst about being on the trade market was out of frustration with the Anaheim Ducks or genuine desire to leave the franchise. He's got three years left on a deal at a $5.1 million cap hit.
If he's traded, Ryan's an elite scoring forward, but the Sabres would have some decisions to make on the right side with Drew Stafford and Jason Pominville there. (In Stafford's case, there for the next three seasons.) Forget Ryan at center — even he admits it's not his bag.
If Ryan's willing to move to Buffalo, it may come down to whether the Sabres can outbid the competition. Derek Roy's a nice start — and better than, say, Olli Jokinen, who is on the Ducks' radar. Would they part with RFA Tyler Ennis too?

Nike Free Inneva Tech "White" – Releasing Tomorrow at NikeLab by Patrick Johnson 7 Comments
July 17, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 1
If you've been digging the previews of the second round of Nike Free Inneva Woven, then this is an especially good piece of Sneaker News for you. The first of the second season of Inneva colorways is releasing right around the corner, and it's a shining example of a 'lifestyle sneaker'.

When Warren Buffett gave $31 billion to Bill Gates' Foundation last week, I assumed it would advance the New World Order. But when a reader showed me Gates' connection with the pagan anti-Semitic Lucis (formerly Lucifer) Trust, I sat up and took notice. Established by Alice Bailey in 1922, the Lucifer Publishing Company changed its name the following year for obvious reasons. Based at 120 Wall Street, the "Lucis Trust" is a vital part of the satanic cult that controls the Western world. It started the New Age Movement to induct society into their Luciferian mindset. Apparently, Lucis is the official publisher of the United Nations and manages its "Meditation Room." http://www.savethemales.ca/
This crap is really weak. Nowhere in the article does the writer expand upon the alleged relationship between Gates and Lucis other than the latter citing the "philanthropic and humanitarian work" of the former... This isn't even guilt by association, it's guilt by having your name dropped. And why don't you also pick on Bono and the other names? Total BS.
Oh sh!t, here comes another one Freddie Arrrrrggggghhh, help me, please help me, oh dear God. Martha, did you hear that?
"The satanic cult that controls the Western world..." Not quite ALL of it, Terry. My house is controlled by my wife and my 17 year old son.
I don't know if its "crap"... but... its interesting to say the least. Something to consider. Just because I post various threads... doesn't mean I condone it 100%... just seems like an interesting topic to bring out into the open. Frankly, I get sick of bashing baby bush all the time. He is too easy of a target. And... just because some of the sheople here refuse to consider that they are being "played" like the Truman Show... doesn't necessarily mean that the sheople are correct. Tis just their opin.
If that Windows music played backwards...says something weird...MAYBE there is a bit of validity..but???? Satan??? I think Buish has a few paces ahead of gates for the 666 award...

It's places where worlds collide. Miami Mensual's Richard "Mr. Wonderful" Perez-Feria, this week's winner of the glamarati-bearing-celebrities awards, on the La Dolce Vida beat with Gloria Estefan, Joan Collins, and of all people, Edward Villella, whooping it up at Victor's Cafe. Better yet, yacht cruises and late-night Burger King take-out with Hollywood mogul David Geffen and Kevin Sessums of Vanity Fair. Other celeb worlds, like serious actors James Spader, Robert DeNiro, and Johnny Depp happily stomping around the Beach. Lee Radziwill, in the shadows of mega-glamour, having dinner at The Strand. Designer Gianni Versace, back again for more Warsaw high jinks. Ivana Trump at the Doral Saturnia, surgically superior, pleasant enough even when surrounded by the less rich.
Former downtown cult figure Laurie Anderson moving way uptown, being feted amid the mega-Eighties splendors of the International Place sky lobby, the world spread out prettily below. Her Miami Light Project performance earlier at Gusman an interesting counterpoint to General H. Norman Schwarzkopf wowing the Temple Emanu-El troops at TOPA, with lots of insights about the Gulf War ("It was a cut-rate video production that was almost as dangerous to win as it would have been to lose") and everything else. The culturati nation trekking out for the summit gathering - people like new music impresario Steve Nestor, Mitch Kaplan of Books & Books, publicist Charlie Cinnamon - also getting a heavy dollop of Anderson's easily digestible songs and videos, as well as fey-beyond-belief patter: "The laugh track, the Greek chorus of American life.... Is it `artistic attitudes presented in an unappetizing manner?' With Bush, it's like nothing is important and everything you ever worried about is happening on Mars...a Fellini party that's gone horribly, tragically wrong."
Fortunately, nothing went horribly wrong at Acting Out: Seven Unspeakable Acts - the debut of the Island Club's new Wednesday-only performance art series "Lower East Side of the Beach" - and there were just enough jokes and psychoses. Master of ceremonies Matthew Owens, simulating a clown corpse, working the death-humor angle: "There's nothing more attractive than a disaster." Producer Joanne Butcher, wrapped in paper, beating on drums, engaged in Silence/Speech/Writing. An unappetizing artistic attitude screaming, "I want to murder what's already dead." Erotic dancer Rick Cockerell. Roly Chang-Barrero doing a heartfelt reading from the work of Reinaldo Arenas. The Goods, rock band/performance artists, presenting Five Steps to Getting Signed: An Operatic Parable About Patience. Club regular Yoda looking confused. My number-one fan on a downtown frolic, posing the impossible existential question: "What are you doing here?" Overseeing it all, the very likable Island Club co-owner, Tom Bellucci: "South Beach just never stops. There's no real season here like the Hamptons. The party goes on all year long. I'll tell you, it really tests the mettle of people."
Fave rave and performance art pro Mary Luft, of Tigertail Productions, presenting a selection from "Passarela," part of her Stories from Miami and South America. Readings from real immigration forms, tales of life in our fair hemisphere: "Of all the things I've lost in my life, it's my mind I miss the most.... In Brazil the people are poor and beautiful, and art is everywhere. Living in Miami has taught me that art is meaningless and people won't come if it's in the wrong neighborhood."
And more art/nonart mettle-testers happening all the time, in all the right and wrong neighborhoods. A dinner at Northern Trust Bank to kick off the 30th annual Miracle Ball for the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital - Anthony Abraham, singer Julie Budd, et al. - coming to a ballroom near you February 15. Another new Miami City Ballet production. The unveiling of Mariana's, "Miami Beach's Most Intimate New Restaurant," last week. The grand opening of the aptly named Gallery of the Unknown Artists last Friday night. A kickoff party at Barocco Beach restaurant on the same night for the Miami Chapter of the City of Hope National AIDS Research Center, which will be taking part in the upcoming nationwide exercise party, the Workout for Hope '92 benefit. Aerobics against AIDS: push, push, stretch those thighs. The right people stretching: local chairperson Cheryl Patella, committee member Sherri Krassner, national chairperson Kirk Prais. Weird kind of modern symmetry to the whole thing.
In the fashionable world, the first semi-symmetrical Avenue A party of the season at Les Violins. Miami Rocks Vol. 4. The Thursday-only party "4AD" at the Patio on Eighth Street. Something called "Metro" club in Fort Lauderdale - "live kickboxing, four ladies nites," and God knows what else. "A Kick Off Jam for Jamaikin Me Krazy Night" at the Roxy, also in Fort Lauderdale. Ah, Broward County. "Bohemian Artist Night" at Sencle's on Mondays, dinner for five dollars and exhibitions by artists like Fernando Sucre and JP Pelletier-Troupet, and upcoming, Carlos Alves. "Cocktails and conversation with Interview magazine's Patrick McMullan," at the World Gallery, tomorrow night. The Ninth Miami Film Festival, opening February 7 with the Mambo Kings. And a juicy tidbit just out on the lesbo hot line - a female club-owner getting involved with her partner's ex-wife and being forced out.

hey everyone! i just relocated to buffalo and without cable or an internet connection im hoping to see the game this sunday. im not the least vocal fan in the world and cant help but get excited when my team does well, but its not my intention to anger anyone or annoy the bills fans around me while i watch. i checked around online and found a patriots bar in rochester, but thats the closest ive seen. as of now my plan is to go to an applebees or some corporate bar; i doubt anyone starts fights there often, and like i said; not looking to ruffle any feathers. as for me, this is my first post, but ive been following alot of patriots discussion on this forum since this summer and have really liked the community thus far! thanks for any help or advice you can offer
I watched a Pats game in Buffalo once, I can't remember the name but it was a sports bar that seemed to have fans representing every team....I'll see if I can update you with the name. Oh, :welcome:
thanks for the welcome! im thinking of looking for a bar not affilliated with either team, maybe a steelers bar; that may lessen the sting, lol. if you do remember that bar, i'd be most welcome
The bar I go to is a Steelers bar and they aren't TOO bad I really can't remember the name but I believe it was in Tonawanda.....I know that doesn't help but good luck.

Getting to Know Mono
If you have ever written an application for the Linux desktop, or even looked into writing one, you are familiar with the multitude of language bindings available for the various GUI toolkits. This is one of the strengths of writing GUI applications for Linux; you are not locked in to a particular programming language. Unfortunately, you quickly come to realize that different language bindings offer varying amounts of API completeness. A widget you used from one language isn't yet supported when using a different language. This is the downside of supporting multiple languages. The amount of work needed to maintain an API increases with each set of bindings. A change or update to the original API must be replicated in each of the language wrappers.
Now imagine a single GUI toolkit, accessible from any programming language without having to rely on API wrappers—a toolkit that offers the same functionality to every language that uses it. Mono has the potential to provide this, plus much more, by offering programming language independence as well as programming language interaction.
Life for Mono began about two years ago at the Linux software company Ximian, Inc. Ximian is known for their Ximian Desktop, Evolution PIM/e-mail client, Red Carpet upgrade system and enthusiastic CTO Miguel de Icaza. Recognizing the potential in a couple of newly proposed standards, Miguel de Icaza began prototyping what would later become the Mono Project.
So what were these standards that caught Miguel de Icaza's eye? It's no secret that they were ECMA-334 and ECMA-335, the specifications for the core technologies in Microsoft's .NET development platform. At this point, it probably is important to point out that there is a difference between the .NET development platform and the blanket term ".NET". Microsoft covers a whole slew of products and services, including operating systems, development tools, network services and applications, with the expansive .NET term. We are concerned with only a portion of .NET.
In October 2000, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and Intel jointly submitted the specifications for a runtime environment known as the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and a newly developed object-oriented language named C#. By the second half of 2001, Ximian officially had launched the Mono Project to provide an open-source implementation of the .NET development platform based on the proposed standards. In December 2001, the European Computer Manufacturing Association (ECMA) officially ratified as standards the specifications for the CLI and C# language.
The CLI lays out a base class library and a runtime environment that provides services such as Just In Time (JIT) compilation, memory management, exception handling, loading and linking and security management. To illustrate this better, it helps to compare it to the traditional method of compiling source code.
Traditionally, source code is converted by the compiler to machine-specific instructions. The instructions are then executed directly on the processor. A program compiled for the x86 processor line will fail to execute on a PPC processor without first being recompiled for that processor. This makes it difficult for software to target multiple hardware platforms, as a different version of compiled code must be kept for each one.
As an alternative, source compiled for a runtime environment is converted to an intermediate set of instructions that are not dependent on the underlying hardware. The intermediate instructions then can be executed in a couple of different ways. One method is to use a interpreter. The interpreter loads the intermediate instructions and then executes them, in essence acting as a virtual machine. In a second method, the intermediate form is JIT-compiled at runtime or installation time into machine-specific instructions and then executed directly. Because JIT compiling executes native platform instructions, compiling can be optimized for the target processor. The JIT compiler can increase execution speed further by converting only the portions that are being used into native instructions and then storing those in memory for subsequent calls.
The trade-off for having the platform independence of using a runtime environment is in execution speed. Compared to the traditional method of compiling to native instructions, the runtime is slower. How much slower depends on the specific situation and which method of execution the runtime uses. Generally though, an interpreter provides the slowest execution speed. The performance of a JIT compiler is much closer to the performance of traditional compiling because both produce native instructions. The overhead of the runtime itself still keeps the speed performance slightly behind.
I know what you are thinking. An object-oriented language, a base class library, a runtime environment—this sounds a lot like Java. Well, you are right. The components of the CLI are very similar to those found in Java. However, there is one fundamental difference. The Java runtime was designed only for the Java language. Although it is true that a handful of other languages have been ported to output Java bytecode and run on the JVM, this still falls short of the language neutrality supported by the CLI. From the ground up, the CLI was designed to be the execution environment for many programming languages. The data type system of the CLI can support imperative languages, like C or Pascal, as well as object-oriented languages. Not only does the CLI have facilities to execute multiple languages (language independence), it also provides the framework to allow those languages to share data with each other (language interaction), including cross-language exception handling. An object created in one language can be inherited in another. Details of how the CLI achieves this level of language neutrality can be found by examining its core components.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Twiggy touts 100-year farming deal with China
PUBLISHED: 13 Apr 2014 10:31:00 | UPDATED: 18 May 2014 12:00:09PUBLISHED: 13 Apr 2014 PRINT EDITION: 14 Apr 2014Jemima Whyte and Tim Binsted
Mining billionaire Andrew Forrest has proposed a 100-year agricultural partnership between China and Australia to Chinese premier Li Keqiang that he says would "lift Australia's farm sector off its knees" and allay China's food supply problems.
Mr Forrest, who is in China for the Boao Forum and Australia Week, met Mr Li in Beijing on Friday for 25 minutes to propose the deal, which would involve China committing to paying 10 per cent to 15 per cent more for Australian agricultural commodities.
"The problem with food to China is there is not enough of it at any cost," Mr Forrest told the Nine Network's Financial Review Sunday program. "If China is prepared to pay a small premium on food from Australia, it will lead to a very large volumetric expansion in food from Australia.
"That small premium will be easily overtaken by supply chain efficiencies and the Chinese consumer will have a source of food they can rely on for the next 100 years, and a net lower cost of food.
"And the Australian agricultural industry will experience a return to prosperity."
Mr Forrest, the founder and chairman of Australia's third largest iron ore minerFortescue Metals Group, said the Chinese premier had been "taken by" the concept, which he describes as a "100-year Sino Australia agricultural partnership". He said it was a "powerful strategy to meet the needs of both nations".
Mr Forrest has been vocal in his push for the Australian agricultural sector to leverage its proximity to China and meet the country's food supply shortage.
"I've been a breathless supporter of agriculture," he said. "If we can get the relationship [with China] right now . . . let's look at 100 years of growth of the Australian agriculture industry serving your country and serving Asia.
"We're a producing nation, you're a consuming nation, there's a massive fit here. We don't need to adjust commodity prices in Australia by more than 10 or 15 per cent to make the farming sector, which has been on its knees, lift completely."
'This is what could change the Australian economy'
As well as owning 33 per cent of Fortescue, which has a market value of $16.5 billion, Mr Forrest owns about 7300 square kilometres of pastoral land in Western Australia.
The iron ore magnate bought his family cattle station Minderoo for $12 million in 2009 and tacked on the Nanutarra and Uaroo stations to Minderoo's south this year.
"The early discussions we've had with Chinese importers, who recognise there's a protein deficiency in the country, are up around 100,000 head of cattle or more," he said. "Now, we've never seen in the history of Australian agriculture orders this big. This is what could change the Australian agriculture industry. This is what could change the Australian economy."
Mr Forrest, who founded the China-Australia Senior Business Leaders' Forum, said it is imperative for Australia to get the right policy and relationship settings with China to enjoy the benefits of China's economic strength.
In October, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said the government wanted to sign free trade agreements with Japan, South Korea and China within 12 months.
Deals have been inked with Korea and Japan, and Mr Abbott and Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb have their sights on China.
"Japan has been a good friend of Australia and China has been a good friend of Australia," Mr Forrest said.
"We have this enormous economy on our doorstep.
"We need to recognise that China is a friendly country.
"They've been a very large country for thousands of years and they've kept within their borders and that's very good for their trading partners.
"Let's not choose favourites. That's yesterday's news."

An emerging plan to get an NBA team back to Seattle, and potentially an NHL team, is a serious possibility, Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn said on Tuesday, but it is in no way a done deal. "A lot of things have to align for this to work, and I can't predict whether everything will align […]

Fragrant Stock and Carnations?
I just bought a pack of Giant Imperial Stock and Carnation-Chabaud Giant and I realy need some detailed information on how to grow these. When do i need to plant them out?
I wintersow my stocks anytime. They don't need a chilling period that I know of, but like any seed seems to, they do better for me wintersown than started inside. I always have lots of flowers from my stocks before it gets too hot and they turn off.
I don't cover the seeds, but then I don't cover most seeds except giant ones like morning glory. Frost heave seems to take care of covering seeds that need to be covered and others need light to germinate. I usually get stocks seeds out in February sometime just because I tend to do the seeds I know need a cold period first.
I usually plant two or three types of stocks every year because I like the way the flowers smell.
So all you do is sow the seeds directly outdoors in february and they start growing when the soil warms up? What months do they bloom for you and how long? When do they stop blooming? How much cold can they tolerate? Can I grow them in the winter like pansies? Thank You so much for the help!
I'll let KimKa answer your other questions but when she says she winter sows them in February, she's referring to the method of sowing seeds in recycled containers and setting the containers outside in the winter. That's called winter sowing and that's the forum on which you posted your questions. The containers act like mini greenhouses that protect the seeds inside until they sprout when the time is right according to their genetic code. The plants don't need hardening off because they're already accustomed to fluctuating outside temperatures. And yes, most can withstand freezing temperatures.
All the information on winter sowing is captured in the FAQs at the top of the page. Check it out--you'll be in for some great fun in the dead of winter and the healthiest, strongest plants you've ever grown once Spring arrives.
It seems to me that my stocks bloom from about May to July usually while temperatures stay under 80 degrees or so. Once the temperatures rise, they stop flowering. Mine set seed regularly, but I've never caught the seed pods at the point where seed is mature but not broadcast (not sure if this is a temperature or attention issue).
Stock will withstand moderate frost, but do not seem to set flowers with shortening days in the fall. Since they can't take a hard freeze, the don't over winter like pansies (at least mine never have).
They are heavy feeders so fertilizing is a good idea.
The double flowering plants have the best scent.
I've never tried to grow stocks in water.
I WS'd stock last year and planted out one plant. I don't remember how may seeds I planted. The plant got 6" tall and stopped growing. I don't know why. It didn't die, but it didn't flower. I couldn't remember if it was an annual so I just hoped that it would bloom the next year. However, now I see it is an annual so I'll have to grow more and try again. I don't think I have any seeds for this year, but I have plenty of other things to grow and will add it to my wish list for next year.
Please post some pictures if you are able to get it to grow and flower!
Bev I sowed a container the other day of some stock. If I get any growing I will post you some pictures for sure. From the sound of it I am going to love love love the smell, if I could package the smell and have a scratch and sniff picture for you I would do that also. lol
David, Dianthus reseeds very nicely for me in my zone, so I think you should be safe on that one also. As for the carnation I am not really sure, I will let someone else answer that one.
I've grown Clove Drop Carnations. They didn't need any cold period and bloomed the first year. They have turned out to be very reliably perennial in my zone.
I have seed for the Chabaud Giants, but I'll wait a little longer to sow it, closer to mid-February.
David, I winter sowed carnation (Chabaud mix) on March 15 and they germinated March 26. I winter sowed Dianthus barbatus (sweet William) on March 9 and they germinated March 22. I don't have a record of when I planted them out. Sweet william is evergreen for most of the winter here in zone 7b and is a dependable reseeder, as countrycarolyn said. Mine start blooming in late April - early May.
Note that I winter sowed them. I did not direct sow them.
Winter sowing is the sowing of seeds in recyclable containers with drainage holes poked in the bottom and transpiration holes poked in the top. We sow the seeds in these containers beginning in late December and put them outside, where they will go through all the ravages of winter and germinate when the time is right for them.
As gardenweed said, all you need to know about this method is explained in the FAQ page. A link to the FAQ page is posted at the top of this page. Just click on that, settle in, start reading and be prepared to learn about your new addiction.
Happy sowing,
Barbara in Virginia
I sowed virginia stock on January the 4th!!!!!!
Today I checked my containers and looky here!!!
If your zone 7 then go sow you some stock!! I border zone 6 7!!!!
By the way you guys this is my first of my winter sown sprouts!!! Whooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooo!!!

Mad-cow fears ripple despite official precautions
Ban on Canadian beef imports prompts concern of overreaction by ranchers and others in industry.
It's just one cow. But the ripple effects of a confirmed case of mad-cow disease in western Canada this week are myriad - falling stock prices of fast-food chains, the closing of US borders to Canadian beef imports, even perhaps a dip in economic growth rates.
They highlight, as did the SARS outbreak, how fear of disease in today's interconnected world can travel at fiber-optic speed - and can roil markets and wreak havoc on global trade and national economies.
Yet as serious as the threat is, experts insist there are strong reasons to counterbalance the concerns. Knowing how quickly plagues can spread, for instance, officials in many countries have erected barriers to mad-cow and other diseases.
Once news about a scourge gets out, countries can mobilize vast resources to stop their spread. When SARS hit, for instance, researchers in several countries scrambled to understand and halt it.
"When something new shows up and you don't know a lot about it, you're really scared," says George Gray, acting director of the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis, who led a 2001 study of US susceptibility to mad-cow disease. "But as we learn more, it tends to lessen our fears."
Dr. Gray notes that mad-cow disease is much harder to spread than many believe. It's also becoming clear that the human version of the plague is much less harmful than was thought. And both the US and Canada have strict measures in place to keep the disease from spreading.
Since 1997, it's been illegal in both countries to feed rendered bits of protein - cow parts, essentially - to animals. Eating tainted bits of brain or spinal cord seems to be the main way the disease spreads to other cows. It's not always clear how closely such laws are followed, of course. But even assuming some degree of noncompliance, the Harvard study found that in a hypothetical scenario in which 10 infected cows were imported, only about three new cases of BSE (short for bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the scientific term for mad cow disease) would occur.
"There were hundreds of thousands of cases in the UK, and we managed to keep it out - or at an extremely low level - in North America," says Gray.

Former Major League Baseball player Jose Canseco doesn't have the best image. After breaking into the majors as a super fast, freaky power hitter with the Oakland A's and winning a World Series with his fellow Bash Brother/performance-enhancing-drug-user Mark McGwire, Canseco's career and reputation were marred by injuries and a series of embarrassing moments on and off the field.
In 1992, Canseco was traded to another team while he was in the on-deck circle waiting to bat. In 1993, a fly ball bounced off his head and over the fence for a home run — This Week In Baseball in 1998 named the incident the greatest blooper of the show's first 20-plus years. Canseco then asked his manager to pitch in a game even though he was an outfielder, which resulted in an elbow injury that required surgery.
During the PED witch
hunt of the early 2000s, Canseco apparently took exception to MLB's
— and the media's — obsession with how huge Barry Bonds' body
and head had gotten and released a tell-all book called Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big, in which he claimed that the majority of MLB players were on steroids.
Since then, Canseco has generally been seen as a doofus who does silly things to maintain his celebrity and make relatively small amounts of money, such as participating in reality shows, claiming Madonna liked him more than he liked her and training for a mixed martial arts fight and then losing in 77 seconds.
Canseco in the past few days has apparently attempted to rectify all his wrongs with a series of tweets aimed at schooling all the "morons" who don't believe in global warming. It reads as a passionate, if grammatically flawed, cry for reason in the wake of the mass consumption and laziness that has led to the death of thousands of polar bears and, apparently, Al Gore.
The following is a
collection of the tweets, which have made quite an impression on the
Twitter community, ranked in order of hilariousness.
Be the first to receive future advice on world-changing lifestyle tips from Jose Canseco by following him @JoseCanseco.
8. The tweet that got it all started — Canseco alerts the public that he is going to drop some serious knowledge about global warming the following day, likely using an aggressive tone.
7. While this tweet was
certainly informative, the "reduce, reuse, recycle" motto has
been known even by the laziest non-recyclers for a long time. The
Playboy celebrity golf tournament reference is funny, though — classic Canseco.
6. "How do we stop global warming?" A relevant question, completely reasonable coming from someone like Canseco who probably doesn't actually know the answer.
5. Here's where Canseco starts really lashing into the skeptics, his frustration with mass consumption demonstrating a larger level of understanding of the issue, which likely surprised many readers. Canseco also introduces the concept of polar bears in this tweet, which is essential to later hilarity.
4. Ridiculously bad grammar aside, Canseco again makes a good point — in some countries families indeed share much less space than we use in America. The second reference to polar bears is really funny and for some reason unexpected.
3. Canseco in this
tweet proves that he's not going to let the issue of lazy,
over-consuming humans fizzle out after a couple of liberal-esque polar bear
references. Jose is now invoking the sacrifices of the pioneers, who
didn't use any electricity and just slept in flannel pajamas even
when it was snowing. A pretty good point.
2. Jose Canseco thinks Al Gore is dead.
1. If Canseco is correct that lowering your body temperature at night will make you live 20-percent longer, then he's probably well on his way to solving global warming. Energy savings aside, Canseco's hope that he'll live into his seventies rather than dying in some stupid way during the next 10 years is likely what led to this outburst of social consciousness.
Pitchers and catchers reported to the Reds' spring training facility in Goodyear, Ariz., over the weekend, which means we are only days away from hearing about how awesome the team's dudes are looking or how quickly they get hurt and have to sit out, leaving us to wonder if they'll be ready by Opening Day. (March baseball involves a lot of speculation.)
The Reds will open camp with one of the most talented rosters they've had in the last 15 years, as General Manager Walt Jocketty added considerable muscle to the pitching staff during the offseason. New Reds to keep an eye on include:
• Starting pitcher Mat Latos, who is expected to be the team's No. 2 behind Johnny Cueto;
• Sean Marshall, one of baseball's best left-handed relievers last season;
• Closer Ryan Madson, who the Reds picked up late in the offseason in a team-friendly one-year deal.
The first two mentioned, Latos and Marshall, were acquired via trade of prospects, which demonstrates a dedication by Reds' management to make a run at another division title (and perhaps more) during the final two years of former MVP Joey Votto's contract. (See CityBeat sports columnist C. Trent Rosecrans' Jan. 24 take in "Reds Try to Win Now Without Breaking the Bank.")
Soon the offseason speculation will give way to preseason hype, as young, no-name guys start hitting .400 during practice games and veterans post high ERAs because they're practicing specific pitches instead of trying to get everyone out. There will be tons of reports from Goodyear, such as "Bob Castellini Talks Reds, Baseball" and "Roster Projection."
Before we know it, we will have casually followed weeks of the Reds playing America's summer game in sunny Arizona, which will distract us from the fact that we still have at least another month of crappy weather before we can enjoy the unofficial start of springtime and Reds' Opening Day on April 5.
Until then, enjoy the pretend summertime in the highlights and mass influx of information from the team's month-long practice session. And if you need even more sports speculation, trade rumors and contract talk, here's a sweet site dedicated to re-reporting everything it can find on your favorite team: mlbtraderumors.com.
Temple cruised to an easy 85-72 victory over Xavier after dominating from the start. Tied 5-5 with 16:36 remaining in the first half, Xavier went more than seven minutes without a point while the Owls reeled off 16. Though Xavier finally got back on the board, there was little to applaud about a lackluster first half effort. Xavier gave up a season-high 47 first-half points and six 3-pointers and found themselves down 20 at the break. Two of the Muskies' key contributors, Dez Wells and Kenny Frease, combined for 0 points by going 0-6 from the field.
Temple boasts the top-two scorers in the conference, and they did not disappoint. Ramone Moore dropped five 3-pointers on the Muskies and scored a game high 30 points. The Owls other starting guard, Khalif Wyatt, added 18. The 6-foot-11 Micheal Eric was a beast on the boards, ripping down 16 rebounds and adding 11 points. The second half provided a little more excitement for Xavier fans, but it was all for not.
Dez Wells knocked down two second half 3-pointers to cut it to 13 with 12 minutes left. Temple went cold from the field and a Tu Holloway free throw cut it to single digits with a little over a minute to go — too little too late. Holloway led Xavier with 23 points and Mark Lyons added 15.
Xavier now needs help from the rest of the A-10 if there is any hope for a sixth straight conference title, which is unlikely. Xavier must now prepare to play Dayton on Saturday. The Flyers spanked the Muskies by 15 back on Jan. 21.
The graphic featured a photo of Reds centerfielder Drew Stubbs sitting on the ground, a grimace overtaking his face after apparently being thrown out while trying to steal second base; a table of stats that included the offensive numbers of strikeout-prone hitters Stubbs, former Red Adam Dunn, Mark Reynolds, Ryan Howard and Jack Cust; and a paragraph across the bottom of the graphic entitled "One of These Players Is Not Like the Others."
Jay Bruce hit .234 with two home runs in his first 77 at-bats through April 25. At the time I asked, "Will the Real Jay Bruce Please Stand Up?" Six weeks later the Reds' right fielder is hitting .292 with an NL-leading 17 home runs and 46 RBI.
I guess he answered my question. Or has he?
After a hot start, the Reds have lost eight of 11 and each of the last three series. It's not a good time to be falling flat — the surging Milwaukee Brewers host the Reds tonight, opening what could be a key, pysche-altering three-game series.
The Reds opened the 2011 season with a three-game spanking of the Milwaukee Brewers, a flawed team that was being pimped as much more than that by people who should know better. The Reds' other so-called Central Division contenders, the St. Louis Cardinals, didn't look much better than the Brewers, losing two of three to the revamped (as in lone power source Adrian Gonzalez is gone) San Diego Padres. (The snake-bitten Cards also lost outfielder/key offensive cog Matt Holliday for an undetermined period with an emergency appendectomy.)
One weekend does not make a season, but it's beginning to look like 2010 all over again.
What's up with the presumed opening-day starters for the three NL Central Division favorites? First the Cardinals Adam Wainwright goes down with a bum elbow that required season-ending Tommy John surgery. Then the Reds Edinson Volquez, whom manager Dusty Baker oddly anointed as the opening-day starter before spring training even opened, was thrown off course with visa issues relating to his positive drug test from last year. And now the Brewers newly acquired ace, Zack Greinke, breaks a rib while playing in a pick-up basketball game.
MLB network has been doing its top 10 right now at each position. "Right now" means right now, as in 2011. Track records no doubt come into play, but the lists are based on whom the network's "editors" — let's hope that doesn't include Harold Reynolds who, though a nice guy, isn't known for employing incisive analysis — deem to be the best players going into this season.
