FT. COLLINS, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/19/13 -- New Belgium Brewing today announced the long-awaited Tour de Fat 2013 schedule. The tour, now in its 14th year, will spin into 12 cities across the nation. This daylong festival in the park celebrates the bicycle, showcases New Belgium beers, and provides eclectic and engaging entertainment for all. The event is free, yet all proceeds from food and beer go to local biking groups. Over its course, Tour de Fat has raised more than $2 million for nonprofit organizations.
Each festival kicks off with a police-escorted bicycle parade through city streets in celebration of the bike. Costumes are encouraged but not mandatory, though the truly aware come prepared. Each parade route is designed for people of all skill levels, wrapping up at the park for a day of both sensory stimulation and relaxation.
After the parade, the festival stages heat up with national musical acts, touring comedy groups, artistic ensembles and unexpected entertainment. New this year is the opportunity to heighten your beer knowledge through beer contests, providing the chance to explore new brews and revel in a unique lineup of New Belgium selections. Kids of all ages can test their bicycle prowess on art bikes, dance in the grass and explore a wide variety of games and activities, such as giant versions of telephone and Plinko.
"Tour De Fat brings together entire communities to celebrate the bike as a vehicle for social change and good-time fun," said Matt Kowal, New Belgium Brewing's Tour de Fat Impresario. "This is a chance to see world-class entertainment in your own backyard with a beer in hand while you raise money for bike advocacy. That's like a win-win-win situation."
One brave role model in each city will volunteer to trade their car for a bike and live car-free for at least one year. With a ceremonial pledge and a handing over of car keys, the celebrated figure commits to a year of human transport on the fully loaded commuter bike of their choosing. The crowd goes wild and the seed is planted: one inspired person on two wheels can make a difference in each of our communities.
Car-for-Bike Swappers are chosen after submitting an application describing why they are ready to give up their vehicle for the gift of two wheels: www.newbelgium.com/tour-de-fat.
Tour de Fat seeks to leave as small an environmental imprint as possible. Each stop has a solar-powered stage decked out in recycled materials and vendors who operate off the grid. In addition, the festival trucks and transport use biofuel sourced from recycled waste oils. Here is how you can do your part:
- Please bring only what you need;
- Compost and recycle your waste at convenient stations;
- Ride your bike or carpool with friends and family;
- Spread the word about bikes -- we will show you how!
In 2012, Tour de Fat traveled to 15 cities, attracting a total of 74,400 festival attendees and 47,150 parade cyclists. In addition, the festival had an impressive 86 percent diversion of waste from landfills. Tempe, Ariz., raised the most money ($87,216) and New Belgium's hometown of Ft. Collins, Colo., had the most parade riders and festivalgoers with 21,000 people.
See www.facebook.com/TourDeFat for the Tour de Fat credo, schedules, videos and to submit an entry to swap your gas-guzzler for a fancy new bicycle.
Tour de Fat 2013 will cycle through each of the following cities*:
Atlanta, GA: May 11 Piedmont Park *new location* Washington, DC: June 1 Yards Park Durham, NC: June 15 Diamond View Park Nashville, TN: June 22 Centennial Park Chicago, IL: July 13 Palmer Square Minneapolis, MN: July 27 Loring Park Boise, ID: August 17 Ann Morrison Park Fort Collins, CO: August 31 Civic Center Park Area Denver, CO: September 7 City Park San Francisco, CA: September 21 Golden Gate Park San Diego, CA: September 28 Golden Hill Park Tempe, AZ: October 5 Tempe Town Beach

Providing the needed data for application development and testing is a huge headache for most organizations. The problems are often the same across companies - speed, quality, cost, and control. Provisioning data can take days or weeks, every time a refresh is required. Using dummy data leads to quality problems. Creating physical copies of large data sets and sending them to distributed teams of developers eats up expensive storage and bandwidth resources. And, all of these copies proliferating...

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

What is all the fuss about this place?
This is not even pastry. Your 8 year old daughter could learn how to mix and pour this simple minded stuff into a pan given a 15 minute lesson.
People actually waited in line to get these 'cakes'. Any trained Parisian, or Austrian pastry chef would writhe in agony to be in the same food category as this.

Hotel Pestana Porto Santo
This hotel has it all – two pools, themed restaurants, a sea-view bar and as much sand as you need.
A curtain of mountains is the backdrop to this hotel, while out the front a carpet of sand unrolls all the way to Vila Baleira. It's a lovely, albeit 45-minute, walk there or you can take the courtesy bus, which takes 5.
Two super-sized pools snake their way past Balinese beds and an al fresco whirlpool. The restaurant scene includes an Italian place, and the bar is all geared up for sunset. Plus, there's access to the Pestana Colombos Premium Club next door.

Overcrowded, overrated
This hotel is advertised as being 5 star and Platinum by Thomson, and reviewers below have tried to argue that for the money paid it is good enough. I tend to think that the star rating is a universal standard and it should be comparable to the same star rating of hotels in other countries. This is definitely not the case at Pestana Porto Santo. Overcrowding The main problem is the overcrowding of the place.The hotel website fails to mention that the hotel is linked in one complex with the adjacent Pestana Colombos hotel and that the guests at the latter are encouraged to use facilities at this hotel, due to an ever greater paucity of resources there. We were told that the total occupancy at both hotels at the time of our visit (first half of July 2015) was 1200 people. As a result queueing takes places everywhere: for food at the buffet restaurant, at the pool bar, at reception... The situation is not better at the Colombos buffet restaurant: our record wait was 22 min to be seated for dinner at 8pm. You can never get your towel onto a sun lounger anywhere on the hotel grounds unless you are prepared to get up at 7am and breach the advertised (and never implemented) hotel policy not to reserve a sun lounger unoccupied, or if you are brave enough to throw away someone else's towel and possessions and lie on (we heard that a fight had taken place once in consequence). I gave up trying to walk around the perimeter of the pool in vain hope to ever find a vacant sun lounger and either sat on a chair by the pool bar or on the balcony of the teen club, or lied on my towel on the beach. The Sunset bar is the main evening entertainment area which contains room for about 100-150 people. In the evening it is impossible to get to sit inside the bar, it is even a struggle to reach the bar and order drinks. This is the first 5-star hotel I know where there is no at table service but you have to queue at the bar for a drink (and we noticed that some Portuguese have different queueing rules to us). With 2-3 bar staff for the entire drinking occupancy, and them being also involved in the 'spontaneous' fun that erupts when certain entertainment tunes are performed, it becomes quite a struggle to get your G&Ts and ponchas. Food display and quality On the good side, I did not get indigestion from the food and on rare occasions there was an interesting item to try. Most of the time, the food was bland and repetitive and reminded me of my school canteen many moons ago. I found quite irritating the queueing around the food station, due mostly to lack of space. The selection compared with what is offered in 5-star hotels in Turkey or Morocco (rated equally as Platinum by Thomson) was very limited. Hygiene At a couple of occasions food was dropped on the floor in the buffet area. Rather than swiftly cleaning it, several walkie-talkies were put in use, people were stepping on the mess and I was wondering how inefficient that organisation was. At the pool bar, I never witnessed the chairs being wet wiped and often ketchup and juice spillages were left on the wooden tables or on the yellow trays to dry out. Staff did not rush to tidy up, perhaps because they had many other tasks to do. In all fairness, if you go to reception to ask for an action, they immediately call someone on the omnipresent walkie-talkie and your remark is actioned upon quickly, but do you want to be a permanent fixture at reception correcting the wrongs of the place throughout your holiday? An irritating issue was that every couple of days or so the key to the room would stop working and one of us had to make our way to reception to have it recharged.To spare the use of your legs, you can ask reception to send an electromobile to drive you around the several yards or so. We found those vehicles silent and accelerating unexpectedly and as they use the pedestrian ways, you have to look behind your back or be prepared to jump into the plants to give way. Not to sound completely negative, I ought to add that the weather was sunny and warm throughout our 14-day stay, the room was cleaned to a good level, there was Sky News and two music channels on telly, and the plants on the hotel grounds looked nice. Overall however, we will not be returning and I would not recommend the place.More

We have been back a week from Porto Santo and what a brilliant holiday we had! Check in was busy however we were checked in within 15 minutes and was given all of the information that was required immediately. We had a large room at the top of the resort that overlooked the pool and sea and the bed was HUGE! There is a slight problem with the reservation of sunbeds however we prefer to lie on the beach and chose to pay the additional 60 Euros to use the sunbeds for the week. In terms of waiting for drinks we never waited more than 5 minutes in the day and also the evening and when we were served the staff provided excellent customer service. We ate at the buffet restaurant 5 nights out of 7 and every night there was a good selection of food and there was also a chef grilling fresh meat on the chargrill. The booking of dinner reservations at the onsite restaurants does need to be done quickly if you want to eat at a reasonable time. However when we are on holiday we have no rush so the later bookings for us were fine. The Med restaurant was brilliant, we chose some special items from the menu and were so glad we did. We also went over to the Columbus hotel for drinks a couple of times and to eat one evening and this hotel has a very upmarket feeling. We equally loved this hotel and the chilled out feel in the evenings it had. The Thomson Reps were all outstanding and couldn't do enough to help with any queries we had. To end our trip we booked the yacht cruise from 1500 - 1800 and I would thoroughly recommend this trip. Not only was the yacht beautiful but the staff were great and the fact we managed to see dolphins and whales made the end of our trip so very special. I would completely recommend this hotel to anyone and hope that Porto Santo remains unchanged as it is beautiful just the way it is.More

An excellent stay
We had our first family holiday here from the 13th July 2015 - 20th July 2015. It was our first time abroad with our 6 month old daughter. We were given a lovely welcome at check-in with fresh juice and the animation team keeping everyone going. Our bags were taken to our room for us and we went for dinner at Mares (buffet restaurant). Our suite was fantastic. We were in the 8th villa. The rooms were spotless as was the balcony. They were nicely decorated and the bathroom was very spacious. The only downside was there were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room which meant we had to hire a kettle from room service for the week so we could make our daughter's bottles. I'd have expected this to be included in a 5* resort. The pool area were again spotless and beautifully laid out. There are plenty of sun loungers - anymore put out would spoil the areas. However, people were reserving sun loungers with towels (even though you're told this is against hotel policy) and more often than not these lay unused all day! Luckily there are plenty of grassy areas you can put a towel down abs use instead which we did. The beach is also stunning and well worth a visit. We were on an All Inclusive package and found the food to be excellent. We ate at the buffet restaurant (Mares) at breakfast and dinner. We didn't bother with the other 4 restaurants as they needed to be booked and I'd read on here that the queue for that is horrendous so we didn't bother. We could also have eaten at the neighbouring Columbo buffet but we loved Mares so much we didn't do that either. The food was varied with theme nights at dinner and there was plenty to choose from for everyone. The staff were fantastic and very obliging. We also ate at the snack bar a few times which was also super. All in all we had a fantastic experience on this beautiful island in this fantastic resort. I do think overall it is more like an excellent 4* rather than the billed 5* - it's just missing a few final touches of luxury to make it truly worth that. Having said that we would return to this resort in a heartbeat. More

Good holiday, but not 5 stars
We stayed here for two weeks in July 2015. Overall it was a good holiday, with good service and reasonable food selections, although certainly not 5 star. The room is a good standard, although there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms and if you are not pool facing, you will be lucky to get a signal in your room. The bed was also particularly hard. As others have mentioned, if you donât grab your sun loungers early (before 07:30!), you may struggle to find one that hasnât been reserved. The hotel says that they check the loungers to ensure that they have not been reserved and unused for more than an hour, but we saw no evidence of this. The pool area was always clean and tidy. The food in the main buffet is reasonably varied, with a different theme every night â there were only a couple of nights that we struggled to find something we liked in there. Of the other restaurants that you have to book, we ate in Luigiâs (Italian) â basic pizza and some pasta, nothing fancy, Madeira Lovers (Madeiran) â mainly meat, not bad (beef kebab is steak on a stick!), but not a lot of choice & Med (Ã la carte) â very good, although only open 4 days a week. You have to book in advance for these and the booking process at guest services creates a long queue after the reps welcome meeting on a Tuesday (best bet is to skip the welcome meeting and start queuing early, at least half an hour before guest services opens). The beach is great for walking, sunbathing or swimming. There can be a reasonable current when the tide is going out, but no more than I would expect in this part of the world. We booked a Renault Twizy via the Moinho car hire booth outside reception to explore the island further and also booked a guided tour of the island with Lazermar (much cheaper booking direct instead of through the rep!) â we should have done these the other way round as there is a surprising amount to see for such a small island. Overall, we would probably visit again.More

Awesome family hotel and resort..!
Transfer Time: 15mins - lovely welcome by the reps and easy process of boarding coaches. Check in: Considering the entire flight from Birmingham descended at Pestano Porto, the check in process was, fast, efficient and well planned. Tired children were entertained by the awesome animation team (more about these wonderful people later) and tired adults were kept happy with a steady flow of drinks! There was a team of 8 and they were very fast checking everyone in. Room: Perfect... Large, spacious with a small lounge and a balcony. All the usual amenities available as well as a small kitchenette. There is a lack of storage space for clothes, but it wasn't an issue for us at all. We were in Villa 10 which was 2 minutes from the bars and restaurants. Restaurants: We only ate at the main buffet and the pool bar. The buffet is comprehensive and we were very well catered for with a huge variety of food. some people found it to be a bit 'samey' but we were able to find nice items to eat on every occasion. The service at the buffet restaurant is absolutely brilliant. Carlos in particular stood out for us, keeping both us and our 2 year old entertained and happy as well as keeping us supplied with drinks. The Pool Bar probably serves the best food of any pool bars we have used. Throughout the day, they make burgers, hotdogs, toasties and fries on request and there is always fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries and ice cream available. Queues do form at the bar and the restaurant, but they flow very quickly and the staff always managed to secure us a table within 5 minutes. Pool Areas: Extensive, well maintained and plenty of loungers. Beach: We love the beach and this one is difficult to beat. Miles of golden sand, shallow and great waves further out to body surf in. It's very safe, but exciting as the waves do crash in and our little boys loved splashing in them. Beach bar is basic but provides most drinks people would need or require. Wind Sheilds and Parosols are free, but sunbeds cost 10 euros for 2 beds. Evening Entertainment: Really good variety and standard - performed mainly by the animation team. Animation Team: These guys are just awesome! They make every guest feel welcome and valued. They work incredibly long hours and how they remain so cheerful, warm and smiling I just do not know! They are especially good with the children and really keep them laughing and entertained. The entire team are amazing, but I have to attribute a special mention to Luciano and Cici as they really made it their mission to keep our son laughing and entertained. Staff: Just amazing! Last word: Brilliant place for families with younger children. However, I'm not sure couples without children would enjoy this resort unless they love children.More

great news!
Cool idea. I hope they keep the ruins of the hosiery remaining, they kind of look nice. (I mean, if the building itself had to be lost.)
How about changing the tax policy that drove these companies out of Philadelphia in the first place?
In this case, it wasn't just unfavorable taxes. Loft industrial structures slowly became obsolete over the first half of the 20th century as the assembly line came to dominate earlier gravity-based chute-fed systems. (See, for example, the massive Atwater Kent plant and Budd complex on Hunting Park West for early examples of such groundscrapers.) Older industrial companies, like Buck Hosiery or Quaker City Lace, have generally had to (a) modernize their plant–that means move to a groundscraper–(b) merge with a company that had already modernized their plant, (c) find and exploit a niche business, or (d) go out of business.
Making this more difficult is the fact that the needle trades have historically been concentrated in the South, meaning that most mergers occurred with Southern firms, and that the rise of Chinese industrialism has effectively expurgated whatever remained of the American needle trades.
So, to make a long story short, while I agree that Philadelphia's business taxation needs reformation, it is unfair to assert that the taxation schema was the only, or primary mechanism driving the needle trades' decline.

Ahmed FaizGeneral Discussion -
I am quoting a comment received from official Motorola support +Matt Jones on the poll I posted yesterday. Here is link to that poll - https://plus.google.com/117873037816609497135/posts/1wR7zaHQWXr
"We're always interested in looking at issues. However, we do need data to do so. We know, based on our own data, that overall battery life was not impacted by the update, but it is certainly possible that some use cases are having issues.
I don't want to make things too difficult, but I suggest anyone interested post details on the thread +Ahmed Faiz created on the Motorola Owners' Forums. https://forums.motorola.com/posts/897cff0b9c
(The reason I suggest this is because we need things like the phone serial numbers, etc., which are difficult to collect here.)"
Who all feels the same?
I would say battery is great if i use the phone on WiFi whole the day. But the fact is that majority of users here have a mix pattern of WiFi and network data usage daily basis. I can't confirm weather it's a #google issue on Google play services but this started happening after the 5.1 update from #Motorola , but there is definitely a issue here I hope you people are already looking into it. I have give this data in Motorola forum a while back response from I got there was I was the only user with this issue.
So this poll just clearly shows I am not the only one, kindly request Motorola developers to look into it.
I would really suggest people here who have this issue to join the Motorola forum. So they can collect more data from the device's with this issue.

I really wish they release the official OTA for Indian users as I am having bad battery while on network data. Google play services is sucking lot of in that mode. But on WiFi battery is fine.

We had the chance to give them some snack. Wolfdogs came to us and ate from our hands. Just Alphas kept small distance. It was great experience. I am very happy i visited Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary.

The Priceline Group has announced that it is buying OpenTable for $2.6 billion, making this the first time that the travel company, which also owns Kayak and Booking.com, has ventured into the world of restaurant reservations.
"For us it's a really natural extension," Priceline's chief executive Darren Huston told The New York Times. "A lot of what we do day to day is very similar."
OpenTable's CEO, Matthew Roberts, has assured The Daily Meal that the day-to-day operations of OpenTable will not change.
"OpenTable will continue to operate as an independent brand focused on providing you with great dining experiences," Roberts said. "Everything you love about OpenTable will stay the way you like it: free, easy-to-use, and constantly improving. You'll have the same real-time availability at more than 31,000 restaurants worldwide, the same convenient mobile apps, and the same rewarding points program."
The deal is expected to close in September, but nothing has been finalized yet.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Astros announced Sunday that 2013 No. 1 overall pick RHP Mark Appel will join the Hooks from Houston's Advanced-A affiliate, Lancaster, in the California League. The Stanford product is Corpus Christi's probable starter Wednesday against San Antonio.
RHP Chris Devenski is slated to follow Appel in a tandem start.
Appel, rated the 13th best prospect in all of baseball by MLB.com, went 2-5 with a 9.74 ERA in 12 starts for the JetHawks. His last start for Lancaster came Thursday, when he worked six innings against the Stockton Ports, Oakland's High-A affiliate. Appel picked up his second victory after he allowed two earned runs on five hits with no walks and seven strikeouts.
Following an off-season appendectomy that sidelined him for much of Spring Training, he broke camp with the JetHawks, but returned the Astros' training facility in Kissimmee, Fla. for just over a month after an April 23 start. Appel made his return to Lancaster May 31 and later strung together three straight starts in which he worked five innings and allowed three earned runs June 22-July 4, going 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA.
Owner of the Houston minor league system's best slider entering the 2014 season according to Baseball America, Appel was a two-time Louisville Slugger First Team All-American at Stanford and left Palo Alto as the program's all-time strikeout leader. During his 2013 senior season, he went 10-4 with a 2.12 ERA and four complete games en route to first team All-Pac 12 conference honors.
Appel was drafted three times: in the 15th round out of Monte Vista High School in Danville, Calif. by Detroit in 2009, eighth overall by Pittsburgh in 2012 and first overall by Houston last year. He became one of just 17 players in history to be selected in the first round of two different June drafts.

School of Vice: In recent decades Cambodia has been a Mecca and haven for all kind of undesirables, from pedophiles and wanted mafia criminals to human traffickers and cowboy investors. They all have flourished here, because, by and large, wrong-doings of any shade and degree would - in the majority of instances - go unpunished, and even rewarded in kind and social honor by the power that be. So dissolute, so lenient on abuse and thoroughly bereft of morals are the people tasking themselves with governing the country that even foreign tourists would causally take off their clothes to pose nude for pictures at sacred sites, or for a joy ride on the motorbike. What could possibly be the ultimate outcome of any misdeed that would be met with swift sentence and censure else where, beside a little in pocket change needed to bribe the unpaid local officials, and if one happens to be a mega rich tycoon like all these okhas, surely the 'punishment' could always be tempered with a handsome reward or favour in lieu of a just assessment of the misbehavior? In such a benign climate, crime not only thrives, but it also pays all sides - bar the victims - literally.
In reality, such individual cases are minor irritations or ripples both in effect and upon the register of educated public consciousness; are comparatively far less inimical to the society as a whole when set against the more seismic and crippling costs that the country's ruling elite are prepared to pay in exchange for personalised power, "honour" and worldly privileges that would have been beyond even the wildest dream of their immediate forebears or the kindest indulgence of a civilised reign.
By Alexandra Demetrianova
It took one real estate tycoon and a TV celebrity to bring the daily reality for many women in Cambodia under an unprecedented spotlight. Violence on women is widespread, but rarely it has been discussed so openly as is the case this time. Millionaire Sok Bun's assault on TV icon Ek Socheata, also known as Miss SaSa, in one of Phnom Penh's restaurant was so brutal and the video leaked online so graphic that no one could let it pass. Even PM Hun Sen commented on the case and publicly called on Sok Bun to come forward, saying: "Your money won't solve this."
The real estate millionaire offered Miss SaSa US$100,000 in compensation or possibly as a bribe to drop charges. She refused, to surprise of no one. Millions of Cambodians have seen SaSa's social media photos with bruises on her face and body. There was no way for Sok Bun, as prominent and rich as he is, to escape reality. And he didn't. After calls from different state officials including Hun Sen himself, Sok Bun came out of hiding (in Singapore or Cambodia according to different sources) and is now in being investigated for the brutal assault. Reportedly he's been arrested.
As well as the charges and prison sentence Sok Bun faces, he will be hard hit by the loss of face. Footage from security camera in the Phnom Penh restaurant shows him savagely beating Ek Socheata, pulling her by hair and even kicking her as she falls on the ground. His rage is assisted by a driver/security guard, who at one point charges his gun and points it at the head of the helpless woman being kicked and beaten on the floor. Staff in the restaurant were obviously afraid to interfere physically. The assault took place when Miss SaSa refused to let him drag her intoxicated Japanese friend away with him. A refusal and will to protect the well-being of a friend was met with brutal rage and total disregard for free will. Thanks to vibrant social media, the video has received millions of views. Never before has violence on women been shown so publicly and graphically exposed in Cambodia. Moreover, the incident involved celebrities and powerful people and that's certainly the reason why the script was rather different to what Cambodia is used to.
Ek Socheata belongs to a well-known family in Cambodia and therefore is in a powerful position apart from her fame as an ex-TV host. If she were an ordinary Cambodian woman, she would probably never have reported the crime and/or would be silenced with money or threats. Whether it was her famous personality or the brutality of the assault, Sok Bun immediately fled into hiding. The powerful real estate magnate has given up his "oknha" title, given to those who make significant financial and development contributions to Cambodia. He also stepped down from top leadership and representative positions he held. And inevitably, Sok Bun offered money – first US$40,000, then US$100,000. But Miss SaSa has stood strong, leading by example for many other women: "I refuse to let anyone use money to buy freedom". She's hoping Sok Bun will be punished according to the law.
Sok Bun even pleaded for his freedom directly to PM Hun Sen saying he needed to "fulfill my obligation as a father and husband for my family." But no matter how hard Sok Bun tried, it was too late. Interior Minsiter Sar slammed officials obstructing just procedure, saying it would "be an insult to Prime Minister and the police". PM Hun Sen said: "Committing such violence on a weak woman … I can't believe a person who has money, a good reputation and a [royal title] could commit such a crime."

If sunshine, high wages and beaches weren't enough, living in Australia also increases your chances of surviving cancer.
Research from Auckland University shows that more than 700 people who die of cancer each year in New Zealand would have survived had they lived across the ditch.
Little had improved since an initial study by Otago University 12 years ago found an almost identical gulf between the two countries' cancer mortality rates.
Auckland University Professor Mark Elwood, an expert in cancer epidemiology, said New Zealand and Australia had similar cancer rates but more Australians survived their brush with death.
Australian men were more likely to be diagnosed with cancer but their Kiwi counterparts died at a higher rate.
Elwood said the gap of about 10 per cent, or 765 deaths a year, was significant but difficult to explain. "But I don't think it is something we should just accept."
Although cancer treatment and detection strategies were similar in both countries, Australia spent more on health and Aussies were generally wealthier.
"Richer countries tend to have better survival rates."
However, the survival gap between the two countries appeared to open up in the first year, suggesting delays between detection and diagnosis could be to blame.
Elwood presented the unpublished findings at the Cancer Control Symposium in Wellington last week, where experts gathered to discuss how to combat the group of diseases that kill about 8000 New Zealanders a year.
The study showed the biggest trans-Tasman disparity was in bowel cancer, which accounted for about half the "excessive" deaths, followed by breast, lung and stomach cancers.
According to the Ministry of Health, New Zealand's bowel cancer death rate is one of the world's highest, with an average of 1244 deaths each year.
Unlike Australia, New Zealand did not have a national screening programme for bowel cancer, although a four-year bowel screening pilot scheme started in the Waitemata District Health Board area in 2011 to assess whether to start a national programme.
The ministry had admitted it was concerned about the health system's ability to cope with a rise in bowel cancer, with district health boards struggling to recruit enough specialists to keep up with demand.
Elwood said it was clear that New Zealand was "behind the play" on bowel cancer and that could be another factor for our lower survival rates.
Cancer Control Trust executive director Betsy Marshall said Elwood's research followed up on an Otago University study, published in the New Zealand Medical Journal in 2002, that also compared New Zealand's cancer mortality rates with Australia's, finding 831 Kiwis would have lived had cancer death rates been the same as in Australia.
In 2003, the trust co-published the New Zealand Cancer Control Strategy, which it wanted urgently updated, she said.
Last Thursday's forum aimed at looking at how far New Zealand had progressed in the past decade or more in cancer control.
"We are trying to look at which kinds of cancers we are not doing so well in and the reasons behind that and addressing some of those reasons," Marshall said.
"What we are concerned about is looking strategically into the future to see how to make the best of existing resources."
Canadian clinician, scientist and president of the International Cancer Control Congress Association, Dr Simon Sutcliffe, addressed the forum about how to get the best out of cancer resources.
He warned that health care costs globally were unsustainable as the population aged and more people survived communicable diseases.
"If you want to get the greatest gains for the greatest number, then you have to prioritise. That means collecting data and measuring effectiveness so you can have a sharper focus on your resource use around cancer control."
But Health Minister Toby Ryall said the government was already pouring more money into speeding up cancer treatment, including surgery and chemotherapy.
He said he would be announcing a "new fast cancer treatment plan" in the next few weeks.

Q&A: Paris Lees on launching trans magazine META
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
We love Paris… but … not while she is around sharp kitchen implements :P
yeah that picture was strange
"What we really need now is for happy, healthy successful trans people to stand up and say, Hello world; I'm having a great life – what's the problem?"
While I agree with Paris's statement,its pretty "damn" difficult to be " successful and have a great life," if you can't even get a job,or a place to live,or lose family,friends , or a support system, and are subject to emotional and physical violence simply because you are transgender: The root cause lies with society, its laws and institutions marginalizing and discriminating against transgender people and that must first change to achieve the happy and successful life that she envisions and wishes to write about.
I agree, it's very difficult. I certainly didn't mean to suggest that all trans people have it easy – I don't know of any who do. I really hope, though, that be showing people who have overcome their struggles, we can inspire others who are dealing with their own difficulties. You are right when you say that trans people are systematically marginalised, and this is also true of the media. I passionately believe that be improving the way trans people are shown in the media, we can start to change people's hearts and minds, and make the world a better place to live for trans people.
I really like the interview, and think Paris is a very cool lady, but two things bother me:
– what's with the super-triggering picture of Paris? Knife to the throat, really? I get that it's probably an artistic statement, but just… kind of inappropriate. (Same goes for that hangman's noose advert that this website keeps displaying.)
– "you'd be hard pushed to find a trans person who doesn't have some web access" – or maybe we just don't hear from those trans people because, y'know, they /don't have web access/? I worry that this comment erases trans people from economic backgrounds that don't easily permit going online.
I'm sorry you found the image with the knife triggering, it was an expression of how I was feeling about undergoing surgery. I hope that you can see that I an clearly in control of both the knife, and my senses, from the pose.
Secondly, of course there are trans people who don't have the internet, and it's a real shame we can't offer them a print version at the moment. I do a lot of work visiting local support groups and I've found that most people I've spoken to do at least have access through their local library. We're doing the best we can with what we've got at META, and appreciate your continued support.
I really like her hair, and her comments are great too. Intelligent woman, that.
