04.10.07 - By Matthew Hurley: According to a report released by boxing writer Gabriel Montoya, Don King has officially announced the date and venue for the, depending upon your opinion, long awaited or now much maligned showdown between former greats Roy Jones and Felix Trinidad. The bout will take place on January 19th at Madison Square Garden and be broadcast on HBO pay per view. In an interview with Montoya, King commented that This is what the people want. They want warriors. This fight will be the fight of the century."
That bluster aside, King always spouts such rhetoric and this fight, without question is coming years too late. Both fighters, first ballot Hall of Famers, will always deserve the respect that they have garnered over years of swapping leather in the ring, but neither is anywhere near close to their respective primes.
Jones has never been the same quick, athletic boxer he had been after he beat John Ruiz for a heavyweight strap in 2003. Sweating off in excess of 25 pounds to return to the light heavyweight division to face off against nemesis Antonio Tarver seemed to forever deplete that speed and agility. As Bernard Hopkins recently opined, Once he lost that quickness he was done because he never learned the fundamentals of the game. That lack of proper boxing technique led to his downfall in three matches with Tarver and a knockout loss to Glen Johnson. It also, in many an opinion, vaulted Bernard Hopkins, who learned the basics and honed his craft, above Jones in the estimation of who was the best fighter of his era. It says here that Hopkins was that fighter, but there are dissenters and those opinions are as valid as any other.
Trinidad never seemed quite the same after the aforementioned Hopkins knocked him out in a masterful performance in 2001. Hes fought rarely ever since (just three times) and its become apparent that a stiff jab and movement, employed first by Oscar De La Hoya in their 1999 welterweight showdown (won on a disputed decision by Trinidad), can befuddle one of the best knockout artists of his generation. Never was this more apparent then in 2005 when Winky Wright won every single round against him in a decision victory. But if a fighter comes at him, like knockout victim Ricardo Mayorga, or slows down, like David Reid and Tito can get his punches off Trinidad will always remain a one punch knockout threat. And thats exactly what Jones has to worry about and what Trinidad is hoping will happen when Roys legs begin to tire and he backs into the ropes.
Whatever you think of the fight the price tag that King will slap on this card will be upwards of fifty dollars. Pay per view, for bouts like this and so many others, has been getting ridiculous for years now. Still, both fighters maintain ardent fans that would pay to just see them spar. Maybe not for fifty bucks, but then again maybe they would. With so many terrific bouts coming up, several of which will be on pay per view, you may want to pick and choose which one you truly want to see, or start stock piling your doe now because it wont come cheap in the end.

Calvalley Petroleum begins well drilling at Yemen's block 9 site
Canada's Calvalley Petroleum, operator and 60 percent interest holder in Yemen's Block 9 oil field, recently commenced the drilling of the first well of a four well program in Yemen's Block 9 oil field. The estimated cost of the drilling is expected to be at least 20 percent below the original two million dollar budget.
The well, Q-6, was drilled to a total depth of 1460 meters. Open hole logging was carried out over the total depth of the well. The logs revealed a net oil column of approximately 30 meters and a 70 meter transition zone. After evaluation of the logs, an election was made by the Joint Venture partners to case the well with seven inch production casing, based on the encouraging results.
The Lower Cretaceous Saar limestones were penetrated at 1152 meters and high quality oil shows were encountered on the mud shakers and during the mud logging program throughout the top 100 meters of the formation. Detailed analysis of the Q-6 discovery is currently under way, with perforation and testing of the Saar formation scheduled for mid-July, utilizing a down-hole electric pump in order to simulate normal production practices in Yemen. — (menareport.com)

This invention provides the use of CCI-779 in the treatment of neoplasms.
1. A method of treating a refractory neoplasm in a mammal in need thereof, which comprises providing to said mammal a therapeutically effective amount of CCI-779, wherein said mammal has been previously treated with standard chemotherapy and wherein said refractory neoplasm has progressed following treatment with said standard chemotherapy, wherein said refractory neoplasm is renal cancer.
2. A method of reducing the size of a refractory human renal cell tumor in a human patient, which comprises providing to said human patient a therapeutically effective amount of CCI-779, wherein said human patient has been previously treated with standard chemotherapy and wherein said refractory human renal cell tumor has progressed following treatment with said standard chemotherapy.
This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/374,644, filed Feb. 26, 2003 (now U.S. Pat. No. 7,189,735, issued Mar. 13, 2007), which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/010,584, filed Nov. 13, 2001, which claims the benefit under 35 USC 119(e) of prior U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/249,077, filed Nov. 15, 2000.
This invention relates to the use of rapamycin 42-ester with 3-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpropionic acid (CCI-779) as an antineoplastic agent. Rapamycin is a macrocyclic triene antibiotic produced by Streptomyces hvqroscopicus, which was found to have antifungal activity, particularly against Candida albicans, both in vitro and in vivo [C. Vezina et al., J. Antibiot. 28, 721 (1975); S. N. Sehgal et al., J. Antibiot. 28, 727 (1975); H. A. Baker et al., J. Antibiot. 31, 539 (1978); U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,992; and U.S. Pat. No. 3,993,749]. Additionally, rapamycin alone (U.S. Pat. No. 4,885,171) or in combination with picibanil (U.S. Pat. No. 4,401,653) has been shown to have antitumor activity.
The immunosuppressive effects of rapamycin have been disclosed in FASEB 3, 3411 (1989). Cyclosporin A and FK-506, other macrocyclic molecules, also have been shown to be effective as immunosuppressive agents, therefore useful in preventing transplant rejection [FASEB 3, 3411 (1989); FASEB 3, 5256 (1989); R. Y. Calne et al., Lancet 1183 (1978); and U.S. Pat. No. 5,100,899]. R. Martel et al. [Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol. 55, 48 (1977)] disclosed that rapamycin is effective in the experimental allergic encephalomyelitis model, a model for multiple sclerosis; in the adjuvant arthritis model, a model for rheumatoid arthritis; and effectively inhibited the formation of IgE-like antibodies.
Rapamycin is also useful in preventing or treating systemic lupus erythematosus [U.S. Pat. No. 5,078,999], pulmonary inflammation [U.S. Pat. No. 5,080,899], insulin dependent diabetes mellitus [U.S. Pat. No. 5,321,009], skin disorders, such as psoriasis [U.S. Pat. No. 5,286,730], bowel disorders [U.S. Pat. No. 5,286,731], smooth muscle cell proliferation and intimal thickening following vascular injury [U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,288,711 and 5,516,781], adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma [European Patent Application 525,960 A1], ocular inflammation [U.S. Pat. No. 5,387,589], malignant carcinomas [U.S. Pat. No. 5,206,018], cardiac inflammatory disease [U.S. Pat. No. 5,496,832], and anemia [U.S. Pat. No. 5,561,138].
The preparation and use of hydroxyesters of rapamycin, including CCI-779, are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,362,718.
This invention provides, the use of CCI-779 as an antineoplastic agent, and particularly for neoplasms which are refractory to standard therapy, or for whom standard therapy is not appropriate. In particular CCI-779 is useful in the treatment of renal cancer, soft tissue cancer, breast cancer, neuroendocrine tumor of the lung, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, head and neck cancer, glioblastoma, non-small lung cell cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, lymphoma, melanoma, small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and colon cancer.
As used in accordance with this invention, the term "treatment" means treating a mammal having a neoplastic disease by providing said mammal an effective amount of CCI-779 with the purpose of inhibiting growth of the neoplasm in such mammal, eradication of the neoplasm, or palliation of the neoplasm.
As used in accordance with this invention, the term "providing," with respect to providing CCI-779, means either directly administering CCI-779, or administering a prodrug, derivative, or analog which will form an effective amount of CCI-779 within the body.
As used in accordance with this invention, the term "refractory neoplasm" refers to neoplasms in patients which typically had progressed following treatment with standard chemotherapy that was appropriate for that given neoplasm.
The preparation of CCI-779 is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,362,718, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The antineoplastic activity of CCI-779 was confirmed in a preclinical in vitro and in vivo standard pharmacological test procedure which measured the ability of CCI-779 to treat human renal cell cancer (a rapidly progressive disease with very limited treatment options), as well as in two Phase 1 human clinical trials. The procedures used and results obtained are briefly described below.
Preclinical Test Procedures
In vitro test procedure: Renal tumor lines HTB-44 and CRL-1161 were obtained from the American Tissue Culture Collection (ATCC), Bethesda, Md. SN12-C line was obtained from Dr. J. Fidler, M. D. Anderson Hospital, Houston, Tex. Cells were plated in MEM (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 5 ml penicillin-streptomycin solution, 1 mM non-essential amino acid solution, 10% fetal bovine solution. Cells (5�103) were plated in 96 well plates with a final volume of 200 ml and incubated for 24 hours at 37� C. Log dilutions of CCI-779 beginning at 100 μg/ml were then added to the cultures for 48 hours. Over the last 5 hours, cells were pulsed with 1 μci 3H-thymidine (New England Nuclear, 6.7 ci/m Mol). Cells were then harvested and the degree of thymidine uptake determined by liquid scintillation spectrometry. The IC50 was determined as the concentration that produced 50% of the maximum uptake of thymidine in control untreated cells.
In vivo test procedure: Female Balb/c nu/nu mice were obtained from Charles River Labs, Wilmington, Del., at 6-8 weeks of age. Mice (n=10/group) were injected sc with 5�106 cells resuspended in a 50% solution of Matrigel (BD Biosciences) and tumors allowed to develop. When tumor size reached 100 mg, mice were treated orally with CCI-779 at 25 mg/kg. CCI-779 was dosed for 5 consecutive days with repeated 14 day cycles throughout the duration of the experiment. The formulation used for CCI-779 was a 50% ethanol, 49% phosal, 1% tween 80 vehicle for resuspending CCI-779, where the stock was resuspended into a 1:10 dilution of the vehicle prior to dosing. Tumor growth was evaluated using a vernier caliper and volume (l�w�h) was converted to mass using the formula: 1�w2/2.
Human renal cell tumors were cultured in vitro in the presence or absence of CCI-779 for 3 days and the effect on growth determined by 3H-thymidine incorporation of control versus treated cells. Table 1 shows that IC50 (50% growth inhibitory concentration) for all 3 lines tested was in the low nM range.
The effect of CCI-779 in two human renal lines (HTB-44 and CRL-1161) was evaluated in vivo by engrafting tumor cells on the flanks of nude mice. Once tumors were established at a size of about 100 mg, mice were treated with CCI-779 or a vehicle control. Treatment with CCI-779 at 25 mg/kg resulted in significant inhibition of tumor cell growth in the mice (Table 2).
Two single agent (CCI-779) Phase I clinical trials have been conducted. In the first study, CCI-779 was administered as a 30 minute i.v. infusion daily for 5 days, every two to three weeks. In the second study, CCI-779 was administered as a 30 minute i.v. infusion, once weekly. Both trials were open label, ascending dose, single-arm, multicenter studies. Patients were allowed to continue treatment as long as the CCI-779 was tolerated and there was no evidence of obvious disease progression. The following eligibility criteria were used:
Inclusion Criteria
A total of 63 patients and 24 patients were enrolled in first and second studies, respectively. Dose levels ranged from 0.75-24 mg/m2 and 7.5-220 mg/m2, with the daily�5 every 2 weeks and weekly schedules, respectively.
The following summarizes the results that were obtained:
In patients having renal cancer on the weekly schedule, 1 partial response (≧50% reduction in tumor size) and 2 minor responses (≧25% but<50% reduction in tumor size) were observed. In renal cancer patients on the daily�5 schedule, 1 minor response, 1 unconfirmed minor response, and 1 stable disease (<25% increase to <25% reduction in tumor size) lasting approximately 5 months were observed. In patients having soft tissue sarcoma on the daily�5 dosage schedule, 1 possible partial response, 2 minor responses, and 1 stable disease lasting approximately 5� months were observed. In patients with breast cancer on the weekly dosage schedule, one partial response was observed. In patients with neuroendocrine tumor of the lung on the weekly dosage schedule, one partial response was observed. In patients having cervical cancer on the daily�5 dosage schedule, one minor response was observed. In patients having uterine cancer receiving the daily�5 dosage schedule, one unconfirmed minor response was observed. In patients having head and neck cancer receiving the daily�5 dosage schedule, I stable disease for approximately 8� months was observed. In patients having non-small cell lung cancer receiving the daily�5 dosage schedule, one partial response was observed. These results are particularly surprising, considering that the patients in these studies had advanced cancers that were generally refractory to standard treatment, and also considering that these were Phase I clinical trials, in which efficacy is often limited, as the primary objective of a Phase I trial is to determine the safety and tolerability of the drug being evaluated.
Based on the results of the preclinical and clinical test procedures, CCI-779 is useful in treating neoplasms, in particular, refractory neoplasms. More particularly, CCI-779 is useful in the treatment of renal carcinoma, soft tissue carcinoma, breast cancer, neuroendocrine tumor of the lung, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, head and neck cancer, glioblastoma, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, lymphoma, melanoma, small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and colon cancer.
As typical with chemotherapy, dosage regimens are closely monitored by the treating physician, based in numerous factors including the severity of the disease, response to the disease, any treatment related toxicities, age, and health of the patient. Based on the results obtained with CCI-779, it is projected that initial i.v. infusion dosages will be between about 0.1 and 100 mg/m2 when administered on a daily dosage regimen, and between about 1 and 1000 mg/m2 when administered on a weekly dosage regimen. Other dosage regimens and variations are foreseeable, and will be determined through physician guidance. It is preferred that CCI-779 is administered by i.v. infusion or orally, preferably in the form of tablets or capsules. Other routes of administration are also feasible, such as via implants, parenterally (besides i.v., such as intraperitoneal and subcutaneous injections), rectally, intranasally, vaginally, and transdermally.
Dosage regimens are expected to vary according to the route of administration. For example, dosages for oral administration are often up to tenfold greater than for i.v. administration. It is anticipated that CCI-779 may be administered as the sole active chemotherapeutic agent, or may be part of a chemotherapeutic regimen containing more than one antineoplastic agent. The use of concomitant chemotherapeutic agents often allows for dosage reduction of each particular agent, thereby increasing the safety margin of the particular agents.
Oral formulations containing the active compounds of this invention may comprise any conventionally used oral forms, including tablets, capsules, buccal forms, troches, lozenges and oral liquids, suspensions or solutions. Capsules may contain mixtures of the active compound(s) with inert. fillers and/or diluents such as the pharmaceutically acceptable starches (e.g. corn, potato or tapioca starch), sugars, artificial sweetening agents, powdered celluloses, such as crystalline and microcrystalline celluloses, flours, gelatins, gums, etc. Useful tablet formulations may be made by conventional compression, wet granulation or dry granulation methods and utilize pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, binding agents, lubricants, disintegrants, surface modifying agents (including surfactants), suspending or stabilizing agents, including, but not limited to, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, talc, sodium lauryl sulfate, microcrystalline cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin, alginic acid, acacia gum, xanthan gum, sodium citrate, complex silicates, calcium carbonate, glycine, dextrin, sucrose, sorbitol, dicalcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, lactose, kaolin, mannitol, sodium chloride, talc, dry starches and powdered sugar.

FSU QB Everett Golson was briefly considered a candidate to win the Heisman Trophy last year before a collapse in the second half of the season while at Notre Dame.
A change of scenery has placed Golson back in the way-too-early conversation for Heisman contenders. Now at FSU, Golson was given 14-1 odds to win the Heisman – which will not be awarded until December – by Bovada, an online sportsbook.
Only seven other players have better odds than Golson at this point.
But at least one respected national writer is not buying Golson's hype. In fact, ESPN's Travis Haney doesn't think Golson will get the starting job over Sean Maguire, making any Heisman buzz hard for him the fathom.
"[T]he FSU QB will be surrounded mostly by youth and inexperience at the skill positions and on the offensive line," Haney wrote. "There's no good reason to expect an FSU QB, Golson or Maguire, to win a Heisman Trophy. If someone forced me to bet one of the two, I'd take Maguire. He's the likely starter."

Nyqwan Murray is busting his tail to get ready for life as an FSU football player.
It drove him crazy hearing about the freshmen in his class who got an early start during the recently completed spring semester. Murray didn't have that option.
Good friend Jacques Patrick, a running back from Orlando Timber Creek, and fellow wide receivers George Campbell (Tarpon Springs East Lake) and D'Vante Phillips (Miami Central), three of seven early FSU enrollees for the 2015 class, all were able to get a jump on the playbook and life as college athletes.
Meanwhile, Murray was back at Orlando Oak Ridge High wishing he was already in Tallahassee, but he knew he couldn't just sit around and wait.
"I feel good. I put in work every day ... work out with coach and make sure I'm ready and in shape," Murray said recently after a workout with his own personal trainer and coach Chris Mitchell. "I'm anxious; I'm so anxious. I wish I could go now. ... I wish I could go today, but the journey is coming."

New FSU quarterback Everett Golson has some tools that are readily apparent. He has a big arm and he's mobile, those traits are obvious.
Then there are some more subtle strengths, like how he's able to throw on the run and can extend the pocket by smoothly rolling out. Of course, there are some equally subtle weaknesses, such as his inability to confidently carry out read-option responsibilities.
Finally, there's the glaring weakness of being turnover prone. In 2014, 85 FBS teams had fewer turnovers than Golson had individually in the regular season.
That is Everett Golson in a nutshell.
The focus then turns to coach Jimbo Fisher.
Part of FSU's offensive success under Fisher – the Seminoles have averaged more than 30 points per game every season Fisher has been at the helm – is largely due to his flexibility to cater plays to his signal caller and also because of his eclectic playbook. Even under Jameis Winston, who was far from immobile but definitely a pocket quarterback, Fisher would...Read more
Mike Martin would like to believe in momentum.
After all, FSU's baseball coach just witnessed his club bounce back from a five-game losing streak to end the regular season and go on to rattle off four consecutive victories to capture the ACC tournament championship heading into the NCAA tournament.
But Martin, who has seen winning teams inexplicably crumble and struggling squads catch fire, believes momentum is a fallacy.
"Momentum is the next day's starting pitcher," said Martin, who credited former Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver for the line.
FSU (41-19) learned Monday that it did not earn a national seed by the NCAA selection committee. However, the Seminoles do have a clear picture of what they must do to advance to the College World Series, including a probable matchup against Florida in Gainesville if both teams make it past the regional round.
But first, FSU will have to win its region, a feat the Seminoles couldn't accomplish last year despite playing host in the tournament's...Read more
DURHAM, N.C. — John Sansone homered and Florida State beat North Carolina State 6-2 on Sunday in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
Sansone hit a three-run blast in the third inning and Danny De La Calle drove in two runs to help the fourth-seeded Seminoles (41-19) win their sixth ACC tournament title and their third since 2010.
Boomer Biegalski (7-4) relieved starter Bryant Holtmann in the fourth and struck out five in 4 1-3 innings for his second victory at the tournament. Florida State, which entered the tournament having lost five straight, went 4-0 this week.
Jake Fincher drove in a run for the sixth-seeded Wolfpack (34-21). They had won 13 of 15, including a 3-0 finish in pool play, before falling in the title game.
Johnny Piedmonte (1-2) allowed four runs on three hits in 3 1-3 innings for N.C. State, which was denied its first ACC tournament title since 1992.
Sansone came up with the biggest hit of the day for the Seminoles, putting them up 3-0 in the third.

FSU's recent struggles seem like a distant memory after the Seminoles defeated Louisville 6-0 to advance to the ACC championship.
The fourth-seeded Seminoles (39-19, 3-0 in pool play) scored all six of their runs in their final three innings of Saturday's contest at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. FSU entered the ACC tournament on a five-game losing streak that started in Louisville (42-15, 2-1 in pool play) earlier this month.
Fittingly, two of those losses came at Louisville; FSU had a one-hit performance in a 13-1 defeat and 6-5 loss in which the Seminoles squandered a 5-0 lead. The forgettable weekend was avenged as FSU downed the tournament's top-seeded squad. With the victory, the Seminoles will face NC State 1 p.m. Sunday. The game will air on ESPN2 and the Seminoles could win their first conference title since 2010.
FSU's recently sporadic hitting carried over into Saturday's contest as Seminoles freshman Drew Carlton and Louisville freshman Brendan McKay engaged in a pitcher's duel.

Los Angeles-based interior designer Trip Haenisch has done homes for a top-notch celeb clientele, but he believes everyone should have access to the best (yeah, we know, what a generous dude). Each month on the Eye, he'll share finds from his projects and the day-to-day grind, culling his picks in art, photography, furniture, accessories and more. Some items come cheap, cool and practical, while others are true investments. Regardless of price or taste level, Haenisch is all about buying well, and focusing on quality pieces you'll actually enjoy having around. That's why we kinda like having him around.
"Education makes all the difference - knowing what's out there in the design realm will allow you to understand why something's special. Quality pieces travel well: they move with you and work in any type of space, plus, they maintain their value. Even if you only splurge on one amazing piece of art or furniture all year, there's no excuse for "settling" for anything other than exactly what you want. For example, I had a friend who was a model in New York, and she spent all of her money on an Andy Warhol. She literally slept on a mattress on her floor, but that Warhol was completely worth it to her... and now? It's worth millions. Point being: she was patient; she wanted only the most beautiful things and was willing to sacrifice for a piece she truly loved."
"I often work with clients who are on a budget and have no idea where to begin with their space. I always suggest they begin with the art. By "art," I mean anything that goes into a home; it doesn't necessarily have to be wall art. I see furniture and accessories are functional art. Invest in something that's worth it; a few solid pieces are better than a lot of junk that you load up on at your local decor destination. If you can't afford the big-ticket items now, you can supplement with pieces that are well-designed and beautiful without breaking the bank. Take for example this Ikea lamp that's inexpensive and cool, yet still functions well in any style room."
"No matter where my work takes me, I always find time to visit a local gallery or art museum. It's important to educate and expose yourself to what's out there. By doing this, over time, you'll begin to train your eye and understand which artists, and styles you love. For example, there's a gallery in my hometown of Kansas City, called Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art (www.sherryleedy.com). It's my favorite place to discover up-and-coming artists at relatively affordable prices. The last time I was there, I was introduced to a photographer whose work I love, Michael Schultz. His pieces are not only masculine, but they are also highly collectable. The best thing about photography these days is the ability to print in a very large scale, which can have a huge impact on interiors."
- Trip Haenisch

Fang Chunnian ca. 1225-1264)
Ming or Qing dynasty
Ink and color on silk
H: 59.6 W: 1007.3 cm
Gift of Charles Lang Freer F1908.170
The painting shows various groups assembling to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. Several palace women and young boys can be seen harvesting ripe peaches at the right end of the displayed section, as an imperial figure and attendant courtiers promenade on a terrace overlooking the small grove. Other male figures appear in the doors and windows of the main palace behind them, while the more distant buildings are populated by women practicing various musical instruments for the approaching celebration. At left, another group of women has ascended a high platform to await the arrival of the goddess from the air.
This lavishly illustrated handscroll was probably produced by a seventeenth- or eighteenth-century workshop that specialized in high-end reproductions of famous works. The scroll bears a spurious signature of Fang Chunnian, who served in the imperial painting academy of the Southern Song dynasty (11271279) and was praised for his depictions of Daoist immortals and Buddhist deities in landscape settings. The Peach Festival is the best-known painting associated with his name.

HOUSTON (ICIS)--US-based agribusiness Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) reported on Tuesday first-quarter 2012 net earnings of $460m (€331m), an increase of 33% from the same period a year earlier.
For the quarter ended 30 September, ADM reported segment profits of $699m on total net sales and other income of $21.9bn.
"During the first quarter, margin conditions for our global oilseeds segment were generally weak and net corn costs were high," said ADM chief executive Patricia Woertz.
During the quarter, ADM acquired oilseeds facilities in Poland and India and expanded agricultural service operations to support exports, Woertz said.
ADM reported that oilseeds operating profit declined $87m for the quarter year on year while corn processing profit decreased $162m. Net corn costs more than doubled from the prior year, the company said.
Refining, packaging, biodiesel and other operations generated a profit of $49m, down $27m year on year, as good North American biodiesel demand and strong volumes and margins of protein specialty products offset lower results from South America and Europe, ADM said.
Operating profits from sweeteners and starches decreased $118m, to $28m, as higher corn costs more than offset higher average selling prices and sale volumes, the company said.
Bioproducts profit in the quarter decreased $44m, to $151m. Lysine and spot ethanol margins in the quarter were good, the company said.
"Ethanol margins should continue to be good in the near term," Woertz said.
"In the future, more of the world's demand for agricultural commodities will be met with non-US supply, and ADM will leverage its global asset base to help meet this demand," said Woertz.

18 November 2013 23:28 [Source: ICIS news]
CARTAGENA, Colombia (ICIS)--Much higher spot prices for Latin American buyers of US vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) are coming early next year and maybe sooner, buyers said on Monday.
US VAM FOB export prices rose slightly last week, by $10/tonne (€8/tonne) to $930-$1,030/tonne, on rising ethylene prices.
But buyers on the sidelines of the Latin American Petrochemical Association (APLA) annual meeting said their expectations come not from rising raw material costs but from the announced closing of two European VAM plants announced recently.
One Latin American buyer predicted higher prices – by as much as $50/tonne higher - in early 2014 because of the close of VAM plants in the UK and Spain announced recently.
"The mess is going to be in January," the buyer said.
Another Latin American buyer said there will be increases sooner than January – before the end of November, in fact.
"We will not enter any business under $950/tonne," the buyer said. That fits within the current US FOB export range, though it would raise the bottom of the range.
VAM buyers disagreed as to the low end of the spot range, but they agreed on why prices must go up – tightening of the VAM supply in Europe will require more imports from the US, which also exports to Latin America.
($1 = €0.74)

The Affordable Care Act for Small Nonprofits in New York:
What's Next for Groups with Less than 50 Employees?
Presented by Peter Andrew, CEO, Council Services Plus (Subsidiary of the New York Council of Nonprofits)
January 15, 2013 9:00am to 10:30am
The Affordable Care Act certainly has most of us scratching our heads. Staggered implementation dates, last minute delays, multi-page IRS, DOL & HHS guidance documents and the creation of new (and hopefully affordable) small group and individual options has us all searching our "radio dials" for WIIFM (What's In It For Me).
The Lawyers and Policy Wonks have inundated us with large group mandate guidance, but most Nonprofits are small and it's time for someone to tell them what this all means for the nonprofit who employs less than 50 employees and does not have the same mandates or expectations as your larger counterparts.
This Training will explore the options that will be available beginning on January 1, 2014 to small groups. Participants will get up to date on the current status of the New York Health Exchange and how to compare those options with what is currently in place (or available at renewal). In addition, we'll touch on the notices your employees may need to receive about the new exchange and how an employee may compare your offering(s) to what is available to them through the new individual exchange. The rates are out so you'll be able to use real numbers to see what this means to your nonprofit's budget and your staff.
Join us for this important, timely and free program. We are sure there will be many questions asked and lively discussion with your nonprofit peers!
Founded in 1927, NYCON is a 501(C)(3) membership-based, mission-driven, statewide association of diverse charitable nonprofit organizations. With over 2,800 members, we work to build the capacity of nonprofits and communities to enhance the quality of life through responsive, cost-effective service. Our mission-based activities are enhanced by two subsidiary corporations: Innovative Charitable Initiatives, Inc., and Council Services Plus.

Rihanna sends $5K check to Illinois high school
BARRINGTON, Ill. (AP) - Pop star Rihanna is donating $5,000 to a suburban Chicago high school to cover the costs of her brief but tardy visit earlier this year.
Barrington Unit District 220 tells The Daily Herald ( http://bit.ly/16qicTm) that the money was sent to offset expenses for security and signs for the musician's March trip to Barrington High School. The rest of the cash will be allocated for students.
The singer traveled to Chicago's northwestern suburbs after the school won her "Shine Bright Like a Diamond" video contest. Their five-minute, student-produced film highlighted the school's volunteer and community service programs.
But fans waited for more than four hours on the first day of the school's spring break after Rihanna showed up late. While they waited, students got free tickets, CDs and signed merchandise.

Is it only the Kruger where yellow articles are exhibited
We have our mirror socks ready for the next trip......... :clap:
However I wasn't allowed to fly them outside of the parks .
We're frequently asked what football club we support (I'm looking for any SA RUGBY club that sports red and yellow kit) or whether we're a honeymoon / anniversary couple. That gives us a chance to explain about the forum..
