With public order high on the Kremlin's agenda, President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party has struck back.
Following the biggest protests ever against his 12-year rule, the State Duma lower house of parliament, where United Russia holds a majority, has passed a law which greatly increases fines against demonstrators.
Opponents say this is intended to stifle political dissent.
One said the law reflected the Kremlin's "fear of the people."
The last step to make it official is Putin's signature.
It would dramatically raise maximum fines to the equivalent of nearly 15,000 euros for organisers and more than 7,000 euros for citizens participating in demonstrations at which public order is judged to have been disturbed.
In comparison, Russian fines for prostitution are capped at roughly 12,000 euros, and interfering at a nuclear plant some 5,000 euros.
In a country where salaries average around 600 euros per month, a person might think twice before expressing his convictions by being part of a public demonstration.
But the speaker of the Upper House says the law is not meant to repress people, rather it is to reinforce responsible behaviour.
Russia Federation Council speaker Valentina Matviyenko said: "The aim is not to punish or torment anyone. Any protest organiser should understand that if your approach is not responsible and if someone suffers as a result then the onus is on you: either you pay a public work penalty or money. I expect all public rally organisers will become more responsible through this. It will raise the level of responsibility and protect people who go to rallies believing they are always safe – as they should be."
Moscow already requires a permit for gatherings and the authorities often use force to break up unauthorised protests.
Activists fear they will abuse the law to crack down.
Opposition lawmakers said Putin wanted the new measure ready before a planned mass protest in the capital next week.
Our Moscow correspondent spoke to Mikhail Fedotov about this. He is head of Russian President Vladimir Putin's Council on Human Rights. He has been in the post since his appointment by former president Dmitry Medvedev in 2010. He came into it after heading Russia's Union of Journalists. In the early 1990s he was Minister for Press and Information.
Alexander Shashkov, euronews: Mr Fedotov, among many activists, you have advised Mr Putin to veto the protest control law which toughens penalties against unauthorised demonstrators. Why did you advise him not to approve this?
Mikhail Fedotov, Chairman of the Russian Presidential Council on Human Rights: Because the president has every reason to veto the law. The president is the guarantor of the constitution, of civil and human rights, and it would be right for him to redress the parliament's error and reject the law, to send it back to parliament.
We do need to change our law concerning demonstrations. Recently, the Council of Europe's Venice Commission for Democracy through Law, analysed our laws and made some quite long recommendations.
That is exactly the direction we should go in, although the amendments adopted today lead us in the opposite direction.
If we want to implement European standards in our laws, we must follow the Venice Commission's advice. Moving otherwise means we move away from European standards.
euronews: The president's press-secretary has said the law will be vetoed only if it doesn't meet European standards. Does it?
Fedotov: It would be enough to say that the law confuses civic responsibility with criminal responsibility. The law, in fact, makes a civil offence a criminal offence. This is the most flagrant violation you can have of the principles of a country's foundation in law and its judicial system.
If we compare an offence committed during a protest demonstration with the same act outside a demonstration, we see a difference of about 6,000 euros.
That's to say, if you damage someone's health or property during an organised protest, the fine can be 7,500 euros, but the very same act committed in other conditions carries a maximum fine of 1,000 euros. In this case, I think our parliament has gone too far.

Joe Biden: Impeach a President Who Takes Us to War Against a Nation That Didn't Attack Us
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
As you'll see below in a Hardball interview back when the famous leg thrill was just a glimmer in the inseam of Chris Matthews' slacks, in 2007, Joe Biden argued that the president had no constitutional authority to launch an attack without congressional approval against a nation that hadn't attacked or threatened imminent attack on the United States. Biden also insisted that doing so is an impeachable offense.
Sheriff Joe agreed with Dennis Kucinich in those days, but ever since then Biden's legal opinion has evolved with stickleback-like speed:

Humanitarian crisesDeadly blaze strikes Peru drug clinic At least 26 killed in private drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre where some patients were locked in rooms. 28 Jan 2012 23:37 GMT | Humanitarian crises, Latin America, Peru A blaze broke out on the first floor of the "Christ is Love" when a patient's mattress caught fire on Saturday [AFP] A fire in a private drug rehabilitation centre in a densely populated area of Peru's capital city has killed at least 26 people and injured 10 others. A police spokesperson said that the blaze broke out on the first floor of the centre when a patient's mattress caught fire on Saturday morning. He said the deaths occurred because doors to rooms where some 40 patients were having breakfast were locked and they were stuck inside. "So far we have information that 22 people died at the scene," said Health Ministry official Javier Correa, adding that four others died after being taken to hospitals. He also said that at least 10 people were injured, three of whom were in "very, very serious" condition. Peru's chief fire fighter, Antonio Zavala, said the fire was of "Dantesque proportions". Firefighters had to punch a hole through a wall with an adjoining building to help the people trapped inside the rehabilitation center. "We've had to use electric saws to cut through the metal bars of the doors to be able to work," Zavala said. Television images showed relatives of center residents weeping in front of the building, located in a poor section of eastern Lima. Gianfranco Huerta, a youth who was being treated at the centre, told local news radio station RPP that he jumped from the second floor of the center to escape the fire. Huerto said that he was having breakfast when he saw the flames coming from the first floor. "The doors were locked, there was no way to get out," he said. "I could just see smoke and hear screams." Paramedics and firefighters were on the scene in Lima's San Juan de Lurigancho neighbourhood, and the injured were being taken to hospitals, the Health Ministry said. Local media reported that the drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, called "God is Love," sought to treat addicts through Biblical teachings. No representative of the center could be immediately reached for comment. Peru's fire fighters are notoriously underfunded. All the South American country's firefighters are volunteer and the annual firefighting budget for the entire country is $19m.Source: Agencies

RAF scrambles fighter jets after passenger flight terror alerts
Aircraft shadowed twice this month as threat of 9/11-style attack grows
Terrorist alerts on passenger jets have led to RAF fighters being scrambled more than a dozen times in the last 18 months, amid increasing intelligence reports of Islamist groups focusing on hijacking airliners.
Two of the incidents took place this month, with warplanes shadowing transatlantic flights.
Scrambled British fighters have a variety of options, including shooting down the airliners, if they are deemed to be an immediate threat. The decision on a course of action will be taken, on a chain of command active 24 hours, at "the highest level of government".
Details of the RAF's role in "homeland security" emerges in the wake of the plot to blow up a series of flights to America and the arrest on board a plane of the Nigerian "underpants bomber".
Warnings that al-Qa'ida was plotting to carry out another 9/11-type "spectacular" was one of the reasons behind the UK upgrading its security-alert status two months ago.
While the introduction of measures like body scanners at UK airports will help detect would-be hijackers, say the security agencies, the role of the RAF is essential in monitoring flights coming into British airspace.
While the emphasis is on guiding suspect flights to an airfield where further action, through negotiations or military action, can be taken, the eventuality, in an extreme case, of a flight having to be shot down, means, say defence officials, that a clear decision-making chain is necessary.
On 2 March this year, British authorities received a request for help after a passenger attempted to get into the flight deck of an American Airlines plane from Dallas to Heathrow. Tornado F3s from RAF Leuchars in Fife and Typhoons from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire were sent on an interception operation while Downing Street was informed of the possible emergency. Armed police were sent to an airport – the location of which cannot be given for security reasons – where the flight may have had to be diverted. On that occasion, however, it transpired that the passenger who was trying to get into the cockpit, a woman, had become distressed after a member of her family had become ill.
On 22 March, Typhoons were scrambled again from RAF Coningsby after UK air-traffic controllers picked up phrases including the words "ransom" and "hostage" on another flight from the US. The flight crew also asked for permission to carry out a sudden descent in order to "test" an auxiliary power unit, a procedure deemed highly unusual and thus suspicious.
The Typhoons shadowed the American flight across UK airspace into Belgium, where it landed. According to defence officials, "the matter was resolved", but no further information has been released as to what happened.
An RAF officer said: " What we have learned is that in the current climate we have to be ready for any eventuality. There are a variety of options one can take before going kinetic."
RAF jets have also been flying an increasing number of missions to counter "probing" flights by Russian aircraft – including a "Blackjack" capable of carrying a nuclear payload off the Hebrides on 10 March.
While the resumption of the Russian flights to test Nato reaction, following a post-Cold War thaw, is a sign of new belligerence by Moscow, "it is absolutely nothing like as dangerous as the prospect of al-Qa'ida taking over a plane and crashing it into a population centre", said aviation security consultant Alan Pilton.
"The point of origin of many of these flights are from places where the security is not so good, and that is the reason we have to face the nightmare scenario of a hijacked passenger air-liner flying into UK airspace," he said.

claim 13 Description [0001] This invention relates to cable data systems. In particular, this invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing user-changeable (i.e., changeable by the subscriber) service level changes in a cable data system. [0002] Cable communication systems are well known. These systems are now widely used to distribute television and other video programming to households throughout the United States. In addition to carrying hundreds of television and video signals at the same time, these systems are also capable of providing data services, such as internet access. [0003] Data transfer rates on a cable system can exceed the data transfer rate of plain old telephone systems by an order of magnitude or more. The increased bandwidth of a cable communication system means that it is better than the plain old telephone system (POTS) for accessing the internet, including the world wide web, and for transferring the relatively large files associated with the graphics images used on more and more web sites. The POTS network is presently incapable of sustained data transfer rates higher than say 56 kilo bits per second and, only on circuits that have relatively low noise levels. [0004] Despite the larger bandwidth provided by a cable system, it also has physical limitations on the amount of data that it can transfer at any one time. Even when a cable system is not loaded, the media and equipment that comprises the internet itself (fiber, coax, microwave, copper wires) including the various routers, switches, computers and other data transfer devices, all have finite capacities. When the data transfer limits of a media or a switch is reached, further increases in data transfer rates are not possible. When the data transfer rate of a cable or other data network is at it's physical limit, data must either be discarded and lost, or queued up for later delivery. Either way, data transfer slows. [0005] As cable and other data transfer systems grow more popular, it is expected that different classes of service will be offered to subscribers. Some customers of data transfer systems (cable or telephony) might be willing to pay more money for increased capacity. At present, the service class provided to a data network service subscriber is determined by parameters that are programmed into network equipment by the network operator. The DOCSIS standard for cable data systems, specifies that different service classes can be provided to accommodate higher data transfer rates to certain customers. Changing a service class is presently a cumbersome and time-consuming process. A method and apparatus by which a service subscriber could upgrade or downgrade the service class provided to the subscriber by the service provider, would enable the service provider to be more responsive to the subscriber's needs, and at the subscriber's option provide faster or slower service (more or less expensive respectively) while simultaneously providing increased revenues for the available bandwidth of the system. Subscribers who want or need increased bandwidth, might be able to obtain the increased data transfer rate, at a premium price, virtually upon demand. [0006] DOCSIS-compliant (�Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specification Radio Frequency Interface Specification�) cable data systems provide for multiple classes or levels of service to the system subscriber. A subscriber that is granted a relatively high-priority data transfer rate (higher service class) will have its data carried across the system in advance of, or sooner than, other subscribers having lower priority service levels. In a data transfer network, such as cable data system, higher-priority service levels can be provided at premium prices generating increased revenue from customers willing to pay for better service. [0007] The invention is a method and apparatus by which a data service subscriber is enabled to obtain at his own discretion, higher (or lower) service class by accessing a service level computer that effectively controls service class grants. In a DOCSIS compliant cable data system, commands that specify a class of service can be entered to the cable modem termination system (�CMTS�) of the cable system. The CMTS grants service levels on a customer-by-customer basis, depending upon the service class that the various customers have paid for as reflected in customer databases in which various customer data is stored. [0008] A processor is provided that provides a mechanism by which a cable data system subscriber can request service level changes. The processor receives requests for service level changes from the subscriber. It validates the requestor's cable privileges or service level class and instructs the CMTS to upgrade or downgrade the customer's service class. If the customer requests increased or decreased bandwidth (a higher service class at an increased price or a lower service class at a reduced priced) the service level processor initiates increased or decreased service charges to the customer as appropriate. By way of the method and apparatus taught herein, a customer can order faster or slower internet service on an as-needed basis without involving personnel of the cable service provider. [0009]FIG. 1 shows a simplified block diagram of a cable communications system, including a block diagram representation of the cable modems resident in subscriber premises. [0010]FIG. 2 shows a simplified block diagram of a service level/billing processor used to automatically grant service level changes in a cable data system. [0011]FIG. 1 shows a simplified block diagram of a cable communications system 100. Programming information from a variety of sources originates at some transmission facility 102, the details of which are not germane to this disclosure. [0012] Programming information is relayed to the head end 104 of the cable system 100 where the information is modulated onto predetermined radio frequencies (RF) commonly known as �channels.� The RF signals are frequency multiplexed together (combined) for distribution and transmission to cable system subscribers 106A-106F via a network of discrete transmission lines 108 that couple the subscribers 106A-106F to the head end 104 and its equipment. A DOCSIS-compliant cable data system includes a cable modem termination system or CMTS 120, whose features are defined in the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (Radio Frequency Interface Specification) SP-RFIv1.1-I01-991105. [0013] This head-end termination equipment for Cable Data service (known as a Cable Modem Termination System or CMTS) must provide a means for converting the signals from the Internet into the cable TV-like format specified by the DOCSIS specification for downstream traffic, and it must also provide a means for converting the signals from the cable into Internet signals for upstream traffic. [0014] The Internet signals connect to the CMTS at the network side interface (also known as the CMTS-NSI). The cable signals connect to the CMTS at the cable side interface (or radio frequency interface�also known as the CMTS-RFI). In addition to the CMTS-NSI and the CMTS-RFI, the DOCSIS specification also defines two other interfaces for the CMTS: a Data Over Cable System Operations Support System Interface (also known as the DOCS-OSSI) and a Baseline Privacy Interface (also known as the BPI). [0015] In reality, the basic functions in the CMTS include: 1) control of the utilization of bandwidth on the cable, 2) control of the operation of all of the cable modems connected to the cable, 3) conversion of signals between the network side interface (CMTS-NSI) and the cable side interface (CMTS-RFI), 4) de-multiplexing of high-bandwidth signals from the network side interface into multiple low-bandwidth channels on the cable side interface, and 5) multiplexing of several low-bandwidth channels from the cable side interface into high-bandwidth signals on the network side interface. These functions can be contained inside of boxes with varying degrees of complexity. [0016] In addition to the aforementioned downstream source programming information signals, upstream communications are also realized on a cable system 100 for a variety of purposes. Upstream communications, i.e. signals from the subscribers 106A-106F are carried toward the head end 104 in a predetermined frequency band or spectrum below the lowest frequency of the downstream channels. So-called pay per view systems, which allow subscribers to order certain programming, is enabled by way of the upstream channels that allow communications to be made to the head end from the subscribers. Upstream communications also allow a cable data system to be used to carry bi-directional data to and from the subscribers as a data network. The increased bandwidth of a cable system makes it an inherently better network on which to carry large volumes of data than ordinary telephone lines. [0017] In order to send and receive data between the subscribers 106A-106F, each of the subscribers require an industry-standard-compliant cable modem device 110 that is capable of sending and receiving Ethernet-format messages. Cable data modems are specified by an industry standard to have programmed into them, a data identifier that uniquely identifies each modem. By virtue of this unique identifier, the Ethernet-format messages that the cable modems generate for transmission, enable the Ethernet equipment at the head end 104 to precisely identify the source (or origin) of upstream data messages originating from the subscribers 106A-106F. By correlating the unique modem identifier with the customer and the service class the customer is paying for, when the cable system reaches or approaches its capacity limit, the CMTS decides which data packets to send on and which data packets to discard, based at least in part on the class of service to be provided to the packets. By knowing the source of each data packet and the class of service that is provided to the customer from which a data packet originated (or to which a data packet is addressed) the CMTS 120 controls the transmission priority afforded to each customer's packet by service level records stored in a data base 122 within the head end 104 and accessible to the CMTS 120. Valid cable system customers (as indicated by data base 122 records) who want or need high-speed data service, and who pay for increased bandwidth, can have their data packets treated preferentially. High-priority data service means that few packets are lost or delayed with the result being faster network response times for the customer who is provided high-priority service. [0018] As a practical matter, high-priority data service is usually provided at a premium price to the subscriber. The higher-priced service class also means increased revenue to the cable service provider. [0019] While most cable data service subscribers do not need and do not wish to pay for increased bandwidth, there might be periods when a paying cable service subscriber wants or needs increased data transfer rates. For example, when web page download times become annoying slowly during certain hours of the day, an increased data transfer rate that is available on a cable data system might significantly shorten web page down load times. A cable data system subscriber who needs and is willing to pay for additional bandwidth could benefit from a method and apparatus by which increased data rates could be requested on demand and in real time. [0020] During periods when a cable data customer wants or needs higher-speed data transfer, the subscriber who wishes to increase his or her service level priority can do so via customer-originated requests to a service level/billing processor 130. The DOCSIS specification describes a protocol and technique for moving such requests between the CM (110) and the CMTS (104), but it does not adequately describe protocols between the customer and CMTS. In the absence of such protocols, the invention described herein becomes an important advance for the cable data system technology because it enables customers to control changes. The service level/billing processor 130 has access to, and is accessed by subscribers, via a data link 132 between the CMTS 120 and the service level/billing processor 130. [0021] In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the service level/billing processor is a world wide web (�web�) server, with its own universal resource locator (�URL�) and which is accessible via the world wide web. The subscribers 106A-F can �log� onto the service level/billing processor using the internet access privileges provided to them via the cable data network 100. Once logged into this web server, a subscriber can submit a request for additional bandwidth (i.e. a higher class of data service) by supplying appropriate information to the service level/billing processor 130. Typical information that might be required would typically include subscriber account information, including a password to verify the identity of the customer requesting enhanced service. [0022] Upon receipt of a customer request for an enhanced service level classification, the service level/billing processor 130 accesses a data base of service level agreements that document the validity of the customer's status and the class of service previously subscribed to. Billing and payment information might also be examined prior to a decision to grant or deny the customer's request for enhanced service. [0023] An increased class of service is effectuated by commands forwarded from the service level/billing processor 130 to the CMTS 120 via the data link 132. Upon instruction of the processor 130, the CMTS 120 can update the class of service records for the upgraded customer that reside in the CMTS data base 122 so as to indicate the new service level to be provided to the customer. [0024] While the preferred embodiment of the invention contemplates that the service level billing processor 130 is a web server, and therefore accessible to the subscriber as any other web page, alternate embodiments of the invention contemplate the processor 130 is accessible as a dial-up computer. Still other embodiments contemplate the processor be accessible via e-mail or responsive to DTMF tones or voice commands in instances where a cable service provider prefers alternate forms of access to the processor 130. [0025] In the preferred embodiment, upgrading (or downgrading) cable data service classes is performed by a subscriber using its own personal computer 134. A request to upgrade (or downgrade) data service class is made to the cable head end 104 and the CMTS 120 by the PC 134 logging into what appears to be an internet web page. The user interface provided by the processor 130 is a design choice as is the data that might be required to validate a customer as well as the data that must be sent to the CMTS to provide enhanced data rates. Once a request for increased service is received and implemented, increased billing rates for the enhanced service can be passed along to the customer. [0026] While the preferred embodiment contemplates that the service level/billing processor 130 is a web server, which might be co-located with the CMTS 120 at the head end 104 of the network 100, alternate embodiments would contemplate that the processor 130 actually be part of the CMTS 120, or its function be provided by the CMTS 120 and its processing capability. Still other embodiments contemplate that the processor be physically provided by a card or other combination of circuitry coupled into the backplane that is typically supporting the CMTS 120 in a card cage (not shown). [0027]FIG. 2 shows a simplified block diagram of an exemplary service level/billing processor 130. [0028] An incoming physical interface 210 (such as an Ethernet interface) receives messages from subscribers 106A-F. The incoming messages can arrive at the processor 130 via the cable data system 100 itself, but might also arrive by other internet access providers such as AOL for example. [0029] Received requests for new service classes are forwarded to a processor 220 having access to cable subscriber customers and service level agreements in a data base 230. Customer identity can be established by referencing data base records 230 of the cable modem identifiers programmed into DOCSIS-compliant cable modems. Alternate methods of verifying a customer could include passwords and/or account numbers. One customer validity is and a new service level is granted, service class records can be updated in the database 230 so that future data packets are properly treated. [0030] Instruction to the CMTS 120 to increase or decrease bandwidth provided to a particular customer is accomplished by messages from the processor 220 that are forwarded to the CMTS 120 through an outgoing physical port 252 (such as an Ethernet interface) on a physical interface 250. [0031] By use of the foregoing method and apparatus, it is possible for a cable data service provider to immediately grant or deny Internet access service level changes to any valid subscriber. In the preferred embodiment, the CMTS 120 sends and receives signals to a processor by which the CMTS 120 can provide new classes of service to customers without human intervention. By merely tracking the unique point code identifier preprogrammed into every standard-compliant cable modem device a cable service provider can provide cable data service based entirely upon records kept at the head end of whether or not the particular cable modem is authorized to have Internet access service. [0032] While the preferred embodiment contemplates use with a cable data system, the method and apparatus disclosed herein would also be applicable to other forms of data service, such as the data service provided by telephone network providers. The network topology provided by a telephone data service provider is not unlike the topology depicted in FIG. 1. [0033] When a data packet leaves a subscriber's computer 134, the data is routed by a switch or switching system in a central office, depicted by reference number 104. Once the data leaves the central office or switching system 104, the class of service provided by network provider might be varied according the access fee being paid by the subscriber. An enhanced service level might be provided at the customer's request by accessing the service level/billing processor 130, which might then instruct the switching equipment to mark the customer's data as being high (or higher) priority data.

Revenues up 10.5% vs. full year 2012 to €1.312 billion and up 6.0% vs. fourth quarter 2012 to €331.6 million impacted by U.S. Dollar depreciation against the Euro • Annual Revenues up 10.5% partly due to a 5.9% increase in the size of the fleet and a positive offshore demand environment • Utilization rate of the fleet remains at a high level at 89.5% (-0.9 pts compared with 2012), despite the increase in the size of the fleet, impacted by the transit of some vessels in order to adapt to regional market conditions • Average daily rates continue to increase regularly for supply and subsea vessels (+3.8%) as well as for crewboats (+7.1%) • Foreign currency movements versus the Euro in 2013 (most notably versus the U.S. Dollar) impacted revenue growth in both the full year 2013 (-2.6 pts) and 4th quarter (-3.3 pts) compared with the corresponding periods in 2012 • Revenues in the fourth quarter were stable at €331.6 million compared to the previous quarter (-0.3%) as new vessel deliveries had little impact on the quarter, all having been delivered during the second half of the quarter and the previously announced sale of three older vessels, which had almost no revenues during the quarter "2013 revenues of more than €1.3 billion, a complete range of 485 vessels with an average age of 6.2 years and the broad geographical reach of its activities makes Bourbon a leader in the offshore marine services industry," said Christian Lefèvre, Chief Executive Officer of Bourbon. "Stability of utilization rates and a positive trend in annual average daily rates are solid fundamentals in a context of continued fleet growth with 38 new vessel deliveries for a net increase in the fleet of 27 vessels in 2013. Bourbon continues its focus on operational excellence and debt reduction via the Transforming for beyond action plan. The asset smart portion of this action plan is progressing well with the sale and bareboat charter of 24 vessels during 2013, the proceeds from which are primarily aimed at reducing debt." Operational Highlights Marine Services -Operational excellence continues to be an industry driver strengthened by the deployment of the OCIMF (Oil Companies International Marine Forum) vessel vetting system Deepwater offshore -Activity remained high driven by a large number of exploration and development projects throughout the year -Annual increases in day rates were partly due to certain contract renewals coming in at higher daily rates in West Africa and Latin America -BOURBON's fleet was stable overall in 2013 with deliveries of new vessels offset by the sale of older vessels -During 2013, utilization rates were impacted by the transit of vessels to adapt to market conditions and in the fourth quarter, seasonal effects negatively impacted North Sea activities Shallow water offshore -The shallow water market continues to see the benefits of the replacement of older vessels as clients are seeking modern and efficient vessels to work for their new jack-up rigs -Average utilization rates remained stable year on year despite double the number of new vessel deliveries in 2013, partly due to certain contract extensions and new contracts -In general, average daily rates increased in all regions, especially in Latin America and Mediterranean/Middle East/India (MMI). They have been impacted by a regional mix effect due to the end of contracts in Australia and Brazil (where average daily rates and running costs are higher than in other regions) -In the fourth quarter, the typical seasonal effects of the monsoons in Asia have not impacted BOURBON as most of the fleet has been fixed on long term contracts Crewboats -Activity has been stable throughout the year -FSIV vessels showing high utilization rates for 2013 with positive feedback from clients, positively impacting average daily rates Subsea Services -Improved activity due to the continued increase in number of wellhead installations with almost 600 wellheads ordered by the industry in 2013, a growth of approximately 40% over the prior year -Continued increase in average daily rates during 2013 reflects the combination of improving demand and better terms on contract renewals -During 2013, one new MPSV was delivered in the first quarter and as previously announced, an older MPSV was sold in the fourth quarter Outlook The demand for offshore vessels is growing, helped by a relatively stable oil price during the past several years. Deepwater offshore vessel demand growth continues, driven by large projects and the exploration programs in remote and extreme locations. The high number of large PSVs coming out of the shipyards could negatively affect the spot market. This should have only a small impact on Bourbon, taking into account the high contractualisation rate of it PSVs. The demand in the shallow water offshore market continues to be driven more than ever by the renewal of the fleet and operational excellence. In this segment, Bourbon will consolidate its leadership on the strength of its more than 100 Bourbon Liberty series ships with diesel electric propulsion and DP2 (Dynamic Positioning 2), which offers its clients operational safety and fuel savings. The Subsea services market was buoyed by the growing number of subsea wellheads and the development of new deepwater oil fields. Three of the five vessels in the Bourbon Evolution 800 series that will be delivered in 2014 are already contracted. Active Fleet Management In line with the Transforming for beyond Asset Smart action plan, a total of 21 vessels were transferred to ICBCL during 2013, as part of the sale and bareboat charter agreement for up to 51 vessels signed with ICBCL on April 9, 2013. The transfer of the remaining maximum 30 vessels should take place during the first half of 2014. In addition, at the end of November 2013, Bourbon signed an agreement with Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) for the sale and bareboat charter of six newbuild vessels. The ownership of three vessels has been transferred and the remaining three vessels will be delivered to SCB during the second half of 2014. In addition to vessel disposals in line with the Transforming for beyond action plan, Bourbon sold seven older vessels, including two AHTS (Anchor Handling Tug Supply) vessels which the company continues to operate under a bareboat charter agreement, two AHTS vessels sold without a bareboat charter, a tug, an MPSV (Multipurpose Supply Vessel) from the Subsea Services fleet and a PSV (Platform Supply Vessel). Change in Bourbon Consolidation Scope As of January 1, 2013, certain companies that were previously consolidated proportionally have been fully consolidated. The impact of this change in consolidation scope is not significant for the group. Consequently, and in accordance with regulations, no pro forma financial statements have been established for the current period.

We certainly enjoyed our stay at this property. The location is ideal for experiencing all that Asheville has to offer. Only a 5 minute walk to Green Life Grocery and a 10 minute walk to Downtown, this really made things convenient. Awesome back deck with sunset views and really great neighbors around the property. We found the space to be very comfortable both inside and outside - clean, comfortable, and uplifting. We would recommend this property to folks we know.
My first time to Asheville proved to be a memorable one thanks to this charming cottage. It has been about a year or so since I have been using Home Away for my travel needs and this is my first review. Kelly's Cottage is absolutely charming. I adored having coffee on the porch every morning and enjoyed breakfast on the deck. The photos really do not do it justice and Kelly keeps this house completely equipped for all of your needs. We spent most of our time cabbing it to the Downtown area but eventually ventured off on walking adventures. There is a grocery store about 3 blocks away which was a great find as we purchase local coffee to and goodies to have each morning. Asheville is a great small town with a big city dining scene. There is also a delivery service called Gourmet Valet which will deliver food from several local restaurants right to your door. We used this service our first night as we were completely exhausted. They will even deliver booze. From the claw-foot tub to the nicely decorated rooms and the cozy feel of this cottage all of my needs were met. Working with Kelly was a breeze. She responded to my inquiry quite promptly and all arrangements were made in efficient manner. Even though she was in the middle of her wedding and honeymoon planning, she was always courteous, professional and attentive. I have recommended this cottage to several of my friends and the next time I'm in Asheville ( which will be soon) I will definitely stay at Kelly's place Thanks Kelly! My birthday weekend was amazing and your home was the perfect beginning and end to it!
The owners summary of the cottage and the pictures we saw on the web did not really do enough justice to this wondeful home. From our arrival and pulling up to see the gorgeous verandah awaiting us to taking in the sights within the house and gardens. It was all great. The walk into town was very easy aswell and we enjoyed exploring the surrounding area. I would love to go back again someday.
We came to Asheville for the hiking but also were looking for a place to stay that was in walking distance of downtown so we could take advantage of the nightlife and restaurants. We hit the jackpot with the Enchanted Cottage.
The house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and is a 5 minute walk to a Whole Foods owned grocery store and a great diner, then just 10 minutes more and you are in the heart of downtown. It is also only a few blocks off of the expressway so we could be up and on the road early.
The house was clean and is beautifully furnished. We had everything we needed to cook meals on nights we ate in. There was a great big washer and dryer which we needed because we had packed light. The front porch and back deck were great hangout places at night or for breakfast.
The owner left helpful and accurate suggestions for restaurants and local attractions and when a minor housekeeping issue popped up she addressed it immediately and the vacation just kept rolling.
If you are thinking of coming to Asheville and you see this home is open - book it. You won't be sorry.
Even before we arrived we had a great experience--the owner was very accommodating and even supplied a Google Map of recommended restaurants, galleries and groceries. We arrived to find the charming cottage garden in bloom and a nicely done handmade map showing our location relative to major attractions. This is truly a park your car and walk location for all of the downtown restaurants and shops--even the River Arts District is less than 30 minutes by foot! Of course, then you have to drive your car down to pick up your purchases! ;) Sunday was fabulous--starting with tai chi in the deep back yard, then coffee on the front porch rockers, then browsing Asheville, and finally ending up with a good book and a cheese plate on the back deck. Comfortable, very clean and homey--all you could ask for in a weekend home!
This house was perfect for our office yearly planning retreat. It is very comfortable and close to downtown Asheville. We enjoyed the eclectic ambiance. It was cozy and relaxing and met all of our needs. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed the convenience of experiencing downtown and all its offerings. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
Walk to all of Asheville's finest downtown restaurants, festivals, art galleries in minutes!

The Forever War is not that kind of book: rather than argument or hand-wringing, Dexter Filkins offers us a kaleidoscopic tour of the great conflicts of our time. * Through his eyes as a reporter on the ground, we witness the events that began with the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, led to the September 11 attacks in 2001, and culminated in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. * Filkins is the only American reporter to have witnessed all these events on his own and close-up - public executions and ampatations; the destruction of the twin towers; the collapse of the Taliban in 2001; over five years of grinding struggle in Iraq. * We move across a vast and various landscape of amazing characters and astonishing scenes. We meet Iraqi insurgents and American soldiers; Afghan rebels and Taliban clerics. We travel to deserts and glaciers and mountaintops, to the scenes of suicide bombings and into the homes of the bombers themselves.* Like no other book, The Forever War will provide a visceral understanding of the War on Terror, its victims, and the people who fight it. It will show what war is, what this particular war is, and how it feels. Read Less
