I am planning a regional trip in which part would involve being in Yangon, Myanmar and then going directly to Vientiane, Laos, overland. I have been doing the research and can only find the google map route, but nothing on buses. I do not want to fly, I want to go by bus or minibus and see the countryside. I know this route involves travel via Thailand, and still cannot find any bus routes. Maybe I have not broken down the long trip into legs, but also given that Myanmar is only recently opening up, maybe information is not quite readily available. Help please

Myanmar to Laos (Yangon to Vientiane)

Well, the reason you can't find any bus routes has to do with travel restrictions in Myanmar. You cannot take a bus from Yangon (or Mandalay) to the Thai border crossing. You can fly from either one to a town closer to the border, like Kentung. You might be able to get a permit to exit Myanmar across that border, but getting a permit is time-consuming and expensive. In general, Myanmar wants you to fly in and out of the country. Many are hoping the land borders will open soon, but I wouldn't hold my breath. From northern Thailand, you can certainly get to Vientiane, though I expect you will need to change buses and you may have to get off the bus and cross the Friendship bridge on foot.

As Kathie says, you should plan to fly. I do have friends who have crossed from China to Myanmar overland, but they certainly didn't go by bus, and one of them is Chinese. You might, I suppose, check Lonely Planet's Thorntree to see if anyone has crossed into Thailand recently, but remember that that border area has seen fighting between rebels and the government and may not even be open to foreigners.
Report Abuse
The China/Myanmar border is the only land border "open" right now. It also requires permits and pre-arrangement of transport.
While you van sometimes enter Myanmar from Thailand, you leave your passport at the border and have to stay within 5 km of the border. With special permits, people have entered from Thailand and traveled farther into Myanmar, but an official guide is often required as well.
The folks on Thorntree will have the latest in the ever-changing saga.
Ironically, while people now think of Myanmar as being "open" it is less open to foreigners in many ways than it was a few years ago. For about a 6 month period, they offered a real visa on arrival at the Yangon airport, and it used to be possible to enter overland without too much hassle at the northern Thai border, and then fly farther into the country.
PS I'm assuming you know that you must have a visa in advance.

Yeah, I know the visa requirements. Thanks for the help so far.

TERT Promoter Mutations in Familial and Sporadic Melanoma
Horn S, Figl A, Rachakonda PS, Fischer C, Sucker A, Gast A, Kadel S, Iris Moll, Nagore E, Hemminki K, Schadendorf D, Kumar R.
Science 22 February 2013:
Vol. 339 no. 6122 pp. 959-961
DOI: 10.1126/science.1230062
Published Online January 24 2013
Cutaneous melanoma occurs in both familial and sporadic forms. We investigated a melanoma-prone family through linkage analysis and high-throughput sequencing and identified a disease-segregating germline mutation in the promoter of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene, which encodes the catalytic subunit of telomerase. The mutation creates a new binding motif for Ets transcription factors and ternary complex factors (TCFs) near the transcription start and, in reporter gene assays, caused up to twofold increase in transcription. We then screened the TERT promoter in sporadic melanoma and observed recurrent ultraviolet signature somatic mutations in 125 of 168 (74%) of human cell lines derived from metastatic melanomas, 45 of 53 corresponding metastatic tumor tissues (85%), and 25 of 77 (33%) primary melanomas. The majority of those mutations occurred at two positions in the TERT promoter and also generated binding motifs for Ets/TCF transcription factors.
Sentiment: Hold
Good to see you haven't lost interest in Geron.
Can you give us your take on where the Imetelstat data is taking us.
I'm thinking there is a pretty good chance of a marketable treatment there.
Did GERN play a part in this study?
Doesn't appear to be any Geron connection.

Travis Pastrana pokes fun at Ken Block in new video
Warning, the video below is somewhat NSFW, given the yardage of matronly flesh on display. Combined age of the women in the video: 199 years. Combined laughs at Ken Block's expense: about 17.
The video is clearly a shot across the booty-shaking bow of Ken Block's marketing ship, displays Pastrana's trademark humor (and goofiness), and actually does a good job of detailing the car (gasp!) and Pastrana's "busier than Block" schedule.
Enjoy. Let the fanboi flamewar commence.

I am very excited to be going to Turkey in April this year. I am not sure how to get from Kusadasi to Izmir...are trams/buses readily available, even on weekends? Is it too far for a reasonable taxi fare (as I will have luggage, solo female traveler)? I plan to fly from Izmir to Istanbul. There seem to be a number of domestic airlines so it should be easy enough to find a flight. I am not sure how far in advance I need to reserve; I was planning to obtain a ticket online before I go if I can figure out my transportation timeline. If it is any easy transfer does anyone think it would be good to stay a night in Kusadasi for the town itself? I will probably be there 2 nights while doing daytrips elsewhere. (I will have about 5 days in Istanbul at the start of my trip.) Thank you so much for your help.

transport from kusadasi to izmir
Report Abuse
I can't recall for sure...although we were driving Turkey, we stayed a few nights at the charming Hotel Kismet on a cliff overlooking Kusadasi (koosh-a - desu) harbor...and my wife seems to remember that the hotel arranged transport to and from Izmir Airport for a few guests with whom she had poolside coversations. Additionally, there are local busses that regularly travel between Izmir and Kusadasi. A taxi may be quite expensive , as it is about 40 miles.
stu t.
Report Abuse
I never traveled with bus in this route but should be only Kusadasi, Izmir and than from Izmir shuttles or taxi. Time consuming. Probably a bit cheaper. But best option is a private transfer or taxi, which is not cheap but comparing anywhere in Europe for Taxis still a deal.....
There are no trains or trams I am afraid.
Report Abuse
I took a bus. Which was fine. Except the toilet at the bus station in Izmir. That wasn´t fine.

We rented from Avis here in the states before we got to Izmir and then drove to Selchuk and Kusadasi-very easy.

We had Anker Travel, based in Kusadisi arrange our transfer with a private driver to Izmir. I don't think it was that costly, but can't remember the exact price.

To all, thanks for the information. I will plan to take a bus from Kusadasi to Izmir and then catch a flight to Istanbul. It was easy to book a flight with Turkish Airlines online. (The other domestic airlines offered fewer flight times and didn't fit my schedule).
Report Abuse
Transfer from kusadasi is better becouse when you reach to Izmir bus terminal you need to pay 50 TL to the taxi to get you to the airport +15 for the bus all 65TL better to take a private car to take you there for 80 TL

We are using Anker travel on May 3 from Kusadasi to Izmir if that matches up with your travel time? We have room in our van

Mentore says Barnwell's appointment as captain justified
— testimony to his ever improving and consistent performances
President of the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) Alfred Mentore has praised all-rounder and skipper of the national team for this year's NAGICO Super50 tournament Christopher Barnwell for being named captain and said that he hopes the team successfully hunts down its 10th regional title when the tournament bowls off on Thursday in Trinidad and Tobago.
According to Mentore, Barnwell's selection came as no surprise since he captained the Guyana team in the same tournament in 2013 when Veerasammy Permaul was unavailable due to West Indies commitments. The appointment is testimony to his ever improving and consistent performances over the past few years.
The explosive batting all-rounder and West Indies T20 player is currently one of the most feared batsmen in Guyana in the limited overs format of the game a result of his dominant performances in local competitions.
Barnwell is one of three players from DCC selected on the Guyana team the others being the aggressive opening batsman Trevon Griffith and medium pacer Paul Wintz. Mentore also said that the selection of the three players attests to their dedication and commitment and also that of their coach. He said that the team's vast talent and experience makes Guyana capable of winning the tournament.
According to Mentore, DCC can proudly boast of its proven track record of producing Clive Lloyd, arguably the most successful West Indies captain coupled with other Guyana and West Indian legends such as Lance Gibbs, Roy Fredericks, the Harper brothers and Travis Dowlin, whose talents were nurtured and skills honed on the playing fields in Queenstown.
He also informed that the day/night 50 overs-a-side matches will be featured on ESPN and the club is cordially inviting the executives, members and members of other sister clubs together with the general public to view these matches free of charge, at the club's pavilion on a big screen which will be installed for this purpose.
He also stated that refreshments will be on sale, along with giveaways compliments of one of the popular beverage giants and anticipates an exciting atmosphere of expectation and enjoyment within the ambience of the club's welcoming environment as the country fervently hopes the trophy will return to Guyana.

Chris Trotter
For nearly a week the world has been retching over Tony Blair's essay on Iraq. Having read it, even London's Tory mayor, Boris Johnson, curtly instructed him to "put a sock in it".
OPINION: This global revulsion is not solely attributable to the fact that Blair, the second-most-culpable person associated with the bloody Iraqi omnishambles, is still presuming to tell the world how to fix it - though that would be reason enough. It's because his recipe for peace and progress in the Middle East is exactly the same as it was back in 2003. Invasion, occupation and the imposition of Western values. The formula that worked so tremendously well the first time!
According to Blair, the Islamic world, being "inherently unstable", cannot actually be damaged by anything "we" (by which he presumably means the Anglo-American imperium and its assorted hangers-on) do to it. Iraq, Libya, Syria: they'd all have gone bad regardless of "our" actions. None of it is down to "us".
"The problems of the Middle East are the product of bad systems of politics mixed with a bad abuse of religion going back over a long time. Poor governance, weak institutions, oppressive rule and a failure within parts of Islam to work out a sensible relationship between religion and government have combined to create countries which are simply unprepared for the modern world. Put into that mix, young populations with no effective job opportunities and education systems that do not correspond to the requirements of the future economy, and you have a toxic, inherently unstable matrix of factors that was always - repeat always - going to lead to a revolution."
So, you see, the "international community" has nothing to reproach itself for when it comes to the Middle East. Those fine fellows Sykes and Picot, drawing lines all over the maps of the dying Ottoman Empire back in 1916, were entirely blameless.
War, after all, is war. And if you're foolish enough to throw in with the losing side, then you can hardly complain when your territory is carved up like a (ahem) Turkey.
Yes, yes, yes - alright! His Majesty's Government may have encouraged Colonel T E Lawrence to stir up the Arabs against the Turks by promising them their own independent kingdom if they threw in with the winning side. But that was a wartime promise - and everyone knows (or should know) what a wartime promise is worth.
And, no, on balance, Blair clearly does not agree that the Royal Air Force's deployment of poison gas bombs against rebellious Iraqi tribespeople in the 1920s and 30s is in any way evidence of "poor governance" or "oppressive rule" on the part of the British Empire. Any more than the 1918 Balfour Declaration, which, by promising the Jewish people their own homeland in Palestine laid the foundations for the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict, could be described as the product of "bad systems of politics mixed with a bad abuse of religion".
Blair's essay is not burdened with such irrelevant historical detail. "We have to put aside the differences of the past", he warns, "and act now to save the future."
Brave words. And yet, among the 2833 words of Blair's bilious essay two very important words are missing - Saudi Arabia.
Which is really rather odd, because it is the Wahhabism of the Saudis, coupled with the kingdom's extraordinary oil wealth, which is inspiring, resourcing and providing diplomatic cover for terrorist militia all over the Middle East.
If "saving the future" does not involve imposing UN sanctions upon the Saudis; if it does not include the "international community" stepping away from the feudal potentates and military dictators it has been pleased to call "moderate Arab opinion"; if it is not about openly sponsoring comprehensive democratic reforms, then, Blair's self- righteous and self-serving exhortations notwithstanding, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and its shimmering mirage of a borderless caliphate of the righteous will never lack for followers.

The UK P&I Club (the Club), one of the oldest shipping protection and indemnity insurance mutuals, announces its results for the year ended February 20, 2012.
• Combined ratio 97% for 2012 financial year
• Surplus of $11m for 2012 financial year
• Free reserves and capital increased to $486m at 20 February 2012
• Level of capital puts the Club's financial strength at the top level of its peer group in the P&I sector
• Investment return reduced to 1.5% as Club de-risks portfolio
• Improved claims trend supported in part by falling claims frequency since 2008
• Total assets of $ 1.6 billion
• Free reserves per gross ton: $4.33 per gt
• Underlying claims inflation over the longer term has been between 5% and 15%
• S&P rating: A- (Stable outlook)
"We are very pleased that for the second financial year running, the UK Club is announcing a balanced underwriting result with a combined ratio, the ratio of claims and expenses to premium received, of 97 per cent," said Dino Caroussis, Chairman of the UK P&I Club. "This very positive result demonstrates the Club's commitment to its long term target of maintaining a combined ratio of 100 per cent or below.
"This has meant that this year the Club has produced an operating surplus of $11 million for the 2012 financial year, generating a further increase in the free reserves and capital to $486 million. This level of capital puts our Club's financial strength at the top level of its peer group in the P&I sector.
"Continued improvement in previous policy years' claims reserves has brought the average of the last four years into a position of underwriting balance, with average combined ratios below 100%. Early indications are that 2011 will be a relatively low claims year.
"Our return to the top level of the P&I market has been rewarded by increased support from new and existing Members. Tonnage was up over the year and now stands at 112 million gross tons of owned tonnage and around 80 million gross tons of chartered tonnage."
"These results are particularly satisfying as they come in a year that has seen results elsewhere in the market adversely affected by an increase in claims and volatile investment returns," said Hugo Wynn-Williams, chairman of Thomas Miller P&I, the Club's managers . "Since 2008, the ongoing shipping recession has significantly dampened the volume of claims. While this has been beneficial to the Club, we have actively contributed to this improvement through careful management of our risks: carefully monitoring the Club's entry criteria, running an extensive loss prevention program, and maintaining strong claims management.
"Finally, these ongoing activities are backed up by specialist reinsurance designed to avoid potential future claims spikes, which may arise from increased shipping activity."
Reduced claims frequency offsets claims inflation
The improved claims position on all policy years since 2008 was supported by an overall reduction in the number of claims. The 2011 policy year saw 5 per cent fewer claims than 2010, itself a low year for the number of claims, and some 30 per cent fewer than in 2007.
During the high claims levels of 2006 and 2007, the UK Club's share of claims on the International Group Pool was well below its share of the total Pool fleet. The UK Club has maintained the largest credit balance on the Pool.
Despite an improving claims position, the Club has maintained a prudent approach to claims reserving. The underlying long-term average cost per claim has been inflating at approximately 5 per cent each year. Some categories of claims, e.g. death and personal injury, have been inflating at rates of up to 15 per cent. Where shipping markets remain depressed, the total cost of claims is expected to remain lower. While improvements in regional markets e.g. intra-Asian trade or in particular shipping sectors could change that outlook, the Club will ensure that premium levels match likely claims trends at subsequent renewals.
Positive investment return
Investment income contributed $18.6 million to the Club's overall results. This lower return stemmed from the decision to reduce risk in the Club's investment portfolio. The proportion of the funds held in equities reduced from approximately 15 per cent to approximately 10 per cent of the portfolio and correspondingly reduced the gains from recent strengthening of these investments. However, the Club is confident in its decision to focus on the preservation of Members' capital remains a priority during a period of persistent uncertainty and market volatility.
Comprehensive reinsurance
As a member of the International Group the Club benefits from the security of both Pooling of claims within the Group and their excess of loss reinsurance program which provides cover in excess of $3 billion.
Another measure taken to ensure the Club is protected against adverse movements in future claims has been the introduction of the Club's own comprehensive reinsurance program. The internal model developed for Solvency 2 compliance has guided the design of this reinsurance program to protect the Club from a potential run of larger than usual claims, whether within its own retention or the Pool. This program will also protect the Club from any very large, one-off claims.

The present invention relates to microbial remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil and especially hydrocarbon contaminated soil that had been previously subjected to nutrient assisted bioremediation.
Microorganisms present in soil are known to assimilate hydrocarbons but, unfortunately, at such a slow rate that natural biodegradation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil is not a practical soil remediation method. Attempts to accelerate microbial growth to enhance soil remediation typically involve providing microbial nutrient material, especially nitrogen and phosphorous containing nutrient materials to the contaminated soil. More recently microbial nutrients have been applied to contaminated soil in the form of controlled release nutrients, oleophillic nutrients and surfactants with the ultimate objective of enhancing the biodegradation of hydrocarbon contaminants by naturally occurring microflora. Whatever the method used, one of the most striking observations in the biodegradation process of hydrocarbon contaminated soil is the "plateau effect", i.e. the biodegradation vs. time profile exhibits a steady rise for several weeks and then a plateau region occurs where no appreciable degradation is observed. Current understanding of this phenomenon is believed to be related to one or more of:
(a) portions of the contaminant not being bioavailable;
(b) presence of recalcitrant molecules; and,
(c) biodegradation intermediates acting as inhibitors to oil degrading microbes.
Therefore, one object of the present invention is to improve the extent of biodegradation achievable with microorganisms.
Accordingly, the present invention provides an improved surfactant formulation for enhancing the extent of a bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil, especially hydrocarbon contaminated soil that has been subjected to nutrient assisted bioremediation previously.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil that was previously subjected to nutrient assisted bioremediation is enhanced by applying to the soil a hydrocarbon solution containing a mixture of menthadiene and menthadiene alcohol and a surfactant selected from the group consisting of: (a) mixture of a sorbitan ester of a C7 to C22 monocarboxylic acid and a polyoxyalkylene adduct of a sorbitan ester of a C7 to C22 monocarboxylic acid, the adduct having from 4 to 50 polyoxyalkylene units, (b) an alkyl glycoside wherein the alkyl group has from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms and the glycoside is a mono or diglycoside, or mixtures thereof, and (c) a mixture of (a) and (b) and thereafter applying microbial nutrients to the soil in amounts sufficient to promote the growth of indigenous microorganisms.
In another embodiment at least the top of the soil is mixed after the solution is applied, for example, by tilling, plowing, disking and the like.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the above solution is applied to the soil at a rate from about 1 to 30 weight percent of solution based on the weight of hydrocarbon contaminant in the soil.
These and other embodiments of the present invention will be described in the description which follows.
The accompanying FIGURE compares the extent of biodegradation of a "plateaued" hydrocarbon contaminated soil treated in accordance with the invention compared with one which "plateaued" and was not further treated.
For convenience, in the description which follows specific mention will be made to enhancing the extent of bioremediation of an oil contaminated soil. It should be readily appreciated, however, that the invention is not limited to enhancing the extent of bioremediation of oil contaminated soil treated with specific nutrients. Rather any hydrocarbon contaminated soil that has been subject to prior nutrient treatment, i.e. bioremediated soil, and whose rate of biodegradation has plateaued with time may be treated according to this invention.
As previously indicated, any bioremediated soil may be treated in accordance with the present invention; however, it is preferred to monitor the biodegradation performance of a freshly nutriated soil. When the biodegradation versus time profile of the freshly nutriated soil exhibits a plateau, indicating very little or substantially no additional biodegradation is occurring, the soil is then treated with a hydrocarbon solution containing a mixture of menthadienes and menthadiene alcohols and a surfactant selected from the group consisting of: (a) a mixture of monocarboxylic acid esters of sorbitan and polyoxyalkylene adducts of monocarboxylic acid esters of sorbitan, (b) alkyl glycosides and (c) mixtures of (a) and (b). In general, the carboxylic acids forming the esters of sorbitan will have from 7 to 22 carbon atoms. The polyoxyalkylene groups will range from 4 to 50 units per adduct and preferably will be selected from polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene groups. In the case of alkyl glycosides, the alkyl groups will have from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms and the glycoside is a mono or diglucoside or a mixture thereof.
When the surfactant is a mixture of the above described sorbitan esters, they are combined to provide a HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) in the range of from 4.5 to about 12.5.
It is preferred to dissolve the surfactants in a normal or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon having from about 6 to about 16 carbon atoms, although hydrocarbons such as tetralin, cycloalkanes, alkyl substituted aromatics may also be employed as a co-solvent. Importantly, the hydrocarbon solution will contain a mixture of a menthadienes and menthadiene alcohols. Menthadiene, of course, includes α-pinene, β-pinene and the like and menthadiene alcohol includes menthol and the like. The amount of menthadiene and menthadiene alcohols used will be in the range of about 5 to about 50 wt % based on the total weight of the formulation and preferably from about 10 to about 30 wt %.
Typically, the surfactant used will constitute from about 15 to about 75 weight percent of the total weight of solution.
In the practice of the invention, the hydrogen solution of the methadiene mixture and surfactant is applied to the soil typically by pouring, spraying, broadcasting and the like. Typically, the amount of solution applied to the soil will depend upon the amount of hydrocarbon contaminant in the soil. In general, however, the amount of solution to be applied, may range, for example, from about 1 percent by weight to about 30 percent by weight and preferably about 10 percent by weight based on the amount of hydrocarbon contaminate in the soil at the time of treatment.
After application of the solution to the soil, it is preferred to mix, at least the top surface of the soil, for example the top 6 to 24 inches, by any convenient means such as plowing, tilling, disking, roto-tilling and the like. In appropriate cases, however, the soil can be charged into a mechanical mixer and mixed with the solution therein. Thereafter microbial nutrients may be applied to the soil by any convenient means such as broadcasting pellets, powders, and the like and by spraying solutions of the nutrients; however, in the practice of the present invention it is preferred that microbial nutrients are applied by spraying an aqueous solution of the nutrients on the soil to be treated.
Typical microbial nutrients include urea, potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium phosphate, sodium phosphate, and the like. In general, these nutrients are applied at a rate to provide a carbon to nitrogen to phosphorous ratio in the soil in the range of about 100:1:0.1 to about 100:10:5 and preferably 100:2:0.2.
After application of the microbial nutrients preferably they are then mixed with the soil, again by any convenient means such as plowing, tilling, disking, roto-tilling and the like.
In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the surfactants solution and nutrients can be applied to the soil concurrently or sequentially, followed by mixing. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the treated soil is periodically mixed and watered to maintain its water content, at least in the top 6 inches, in the range of from about 10 wt % to about 25 wt %.
To further illustrate the present invention, reference is made to the following example:
In the following example, hydrocarbon contaminated soil that was subjected to nutrient assisted bioremediation previously, and whose biodegradation versus time profile exhibited a plateau region where no appreciable degradation occurred, was used. A pan 12 inches long by 8 inches wide and 3 inches deep of the hydrocarbon contaminated soil was treated with a solution of a mixture sorbitans described in greater detail below. The mixture of surfactants constituted 50 wt % of the solution. The sorbitan carboxylic acid ester applied in the surfactant solution was a sorbitan mono-oleate sold under the trade name Span-80 by ICI Americas, Wilmington, Del. The polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-ester employed was a polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan mono-oleate sold under the trade name Tween-80, also by ICI Americas. The ratio of Span 80 to Tween-80 provided an HLB of 6.9.
The surfactants were dissolved in Norpar�-13 solvent and a mixture of menthadiene and menthadiene alcohols sold under the trade name RE-ENTRY-D solvent by Envirosolo, Inc., Jacksonville, Fla. The ratio of surfactants to Norpar�-13 to RE-ENTRY-D solvents is 1:0.5:0.5 by weight. Norpar�-13 is the trademark for a relatively narrow boiling range solvent sold by Exxon Company USA, Houston, Tex. Norpar�-13 contains greater than 98% by weight of normal paraffin.
The solution was applied to the soil at the rate of 10 wt % based on the weight of hydrocarbon contaminant in the soil. The surfactant solution was then mixed with the soil by hand-tilling. Next an aqueous solution of urea and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate having a C:N:P ratio of 100:2:0.2 was applied to the soil followed by hand-tilling. The pans were watered and hand-tilled weekly. The amount of water applied was sufficient to provide a moisture content of about 17 wt %.
After two-, four-, and six-week periods, the percent petroleum hydrocarbons biodegraded was determined for each of the examples using EPA method 418.1 with the following modifications:
1. The soil sample size was increased to 30 grams.
2. The acidification step specified in the test was eliminated.
3. The amount of drying agent required by the test was increased to assure effective drying.
4. The drying agent used was magnesium sulfate.
5. A four-hour time period for soxhlet extraction was employed.
6. The amount of silica gel used was increased.
Results of the tests are shown in the FIGURE. Also shown in the FIGURE are the results for a soil sample that was nutriated only once and not treated further.

South Port New Zealand's increased cargo volumes has failed to offset lower warehousing returns in its latest half-year.
The listed Bluff port yesterday announced that its interim net profit had fallen 7.6 per cent to $2.68 million, from the same 2012 December period.
The interim payout has fallen from 6.5c to 6c a share, payable on March 11.South Port chairman Rex Chapman said the result was encouraging, after the national freight market export off-season was quieter than normal in the September quarter.
In contrast to the 2012 half where tonnages declined, cargo volumes rose 101,000 tonnes, or 8 per cent, to 1.369m tonnes.
Chief executive Mark O Connor said the lift in cargo was driven mainly by strong fertiliser and stockfood imports plus increasing log exports. Notable declines occurred in dairy products, New Zealand Aluminium Smelters import cargo and sawn timber, he said.
While the 195,000 tonnes of logs exported through the port was a record for the 6 months, other parts of the forestry sector continued to encounter difficult markets.
Fertiliser tonnages continued to be buoyant and supplementary stock food also demonstrated growth as a consequence of farmers adopting new feeding systems.
The Tiwai Pt aluminium smelter was a significant cargo generator at Bluff and continued to grapple with declining aluminium prices, he said. It was still working at less than full capacity, but had signalled that potential existed to reinstate the fourth potline later in 2014, provided it is economically viable.
South Port was working with its major container shipping line customer MSC on a review of the Bluff port infrastructure that would be necessary to service projected cargo growth in the region.
South Port was also working with Open Country Dairy to deliver an enlarged warehousing solution in order to cater for a planned lift in dairy output.
South Port and key regional groups continued to interact with oil and gas exploration companies interested in the Great South Basin.
Mr Chapman said the second half of 2014 should provide consistent cargo volumes across most sectors. However, the more rapid flow of meat, fish and dairy product to market had caused reduced warehousing margins for the company's cold storage division.
South Port forecasts annual earnings of between $5.8m to $6m, compared with 2013's $5.99m.
South Port's shares last traded at $3.50.

My many American friends keep pestering me.
OPINION: They want to know whether to vote for the black communist Muslim who doesn't have a birth certificate because he appeared fully formed in Chicago the day after the Roswell Incident, or for the rich white man with whom I roomed at Harvard Business School in the early 70s.
"Make up your own minds," I tell them, but my friends take their democratic duty seriously and like to be informed. They bombard me with piercing political questions.
"Tell us about Romney," they beg. "Is it true he had a breed of sheep named after him? At what age did he start tying dogs to the roofs of cars? What sort of dogs? What brand of car? How did he cope with convertibles? What was his highest tally of dogs on a single roof?"
I have never been one to tell tales out of school, but the truth never hurts. So, "yes", I tell them respectively, "18, poodles, Cadillacs, with difficulty, and seven".
That's enough for most of them, as you'd expect. Off they toddle to make their mark for the Republican cause.
But others want more. They want to know his character.
"In every Harvard intake," I tell them, "there are always a few, a very few, who bear the stamp of greatness. They may not in the end go on to great things - the booze may undo them, or the calumny of rivals, or a sense of the futility of striving, or just plain bad luck, but there is something about them that marks them out - an aura, a numinous and indefinable quality that charges the atmosphere of any room they enter. But perhaps you'd rather hear about Mitt."
"Yes, yes," they squeal, "tell us about Mitt."
And my mind goes back to one blistering June afternoon in 73. I was lying in bed, immersed in a thriller by Maynard Keynes when Mitt burst into the room, a poodle in one hand, a tie-down in the other.
"Let's go for a drive," he said. That was so typical of Mitt - impulsive, excitable, different. Back then we may not have been as sophisticated as young people now, but we knew how to make our own fun.
Mitt pressed a button on the wall and within seconds the car elevator had delivered us a Cadillac. As we powered through the leafy lanes of Massachusetts, scattering like chaff the construction workers, schoolteachers and other layabouts who see themselves as victims, Mitt slid a cassette into the dashboard and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir drowned out the yelps of the poodle.
Oh, the heady days of youth, the idealism, the sense that all things were possible, especially in the 70s, the days of counter culture, of independence, where everything was up for questioning, where mere precedent meant nothing.
"Mitt," I said, "that religion of yours."
"You mean my beloved and enormously profitable church created by the convicted fraudster Joseph Smith," asked Mitt, and you could hear the rigorous critical intelligence in his tone, "the rules of which were inscribed on golden tablets that only Joseph Smith ever saw, tablets handed down by the angel Moroni whom only Joseph Smith ever saw, the church whose first 12 apostles in 1835 included my great-great grandfather Parley P Pratt, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?"
"That's the one," I said. "I've never quite understood the two ofs in the title."
"Oh Joe," said Mitt. "Who cares about a brace of confusing prepositions? We are young, free, inquisitive and about to change the world. I have a dream, Joe. It comes in the form of a five-point plan. First, I'm going to make vast wealth from business management."
"Like your father did," I said.
"Yes," said Mitt. "Then I'm going to become a state governor."
"Like your father did," I said.
"Yes," said Mitt. "Then when I turn 60 I shall make a run for president."
"Like your father did," I said.
"Yes," said Mitt. "And I shall fail."
"Like your father did," I said.
"Yes," said Mitt. "But unlike my father, I shall run again four years later and I shall shake babies and kiss hands and adopt any position required of me in order to become president and then when I become president the world will honour my iconoclasm and my independence of mind and my refusal to follow in the footsteps of others by naming a breed of sheep after me. Oh, and I'll nuke Iran. Daddy would like that."

Gold of 99.9 and 99.5 percent purity recovered by Rs 250 each to Rs 26,600 and Rs 26,400 per ten grams after losing Rs 3,250 in last four sessions. Sovereign remained steady at Rs 24,000 per piece of eight gram in limited deals.
On the other hand, silver ready continued its slide for the fifth day and lost another Rs 300 to Rs 45,400 per kg and weekly-based delivery by Rs 60 to Rs 43,400 per kg. The white metal had lost Rs 6,900 in the previous four sessions.
Silver coins held steady at Rs 74,000 for buying and Rs 75,000 for selling in restricted buying.
Standard gold of 99.5 percent purity rose by Rs 240 to end at Rs 25,920 per 10 gm from Wednesday's closing level of of Rs 25,680.
Pure gold of 99.9 percent purity also jumped up by a similar margin to close at Rs 26,060 per 10 grams from Rs 25,820 previously.

International markets
Gold in overseas markets, which normally set price trend on the domestic front, rose 0.4 percent to USD 1,381.55 an ounce in Singapore. Prices touched USD 1,321.95 on April 16, the lowest since January 2011.
Gold ETF
Holdings of the world's largest exchange-traded fund dropped to their lowest level in three years, as festering worries over global growth continued to sap broad investor confidence.

The Scoop
Children today are becoming very involved in sports at a young age, with many playing on multiple sports team per year. While we want our youth to be active and healthy, training too much could have a negative effect. For parents of young athletes, their children's health is their number-one priority, so when research surfaced that strenuous training in just one sport could lead to serious injuries, many were left wondering: "How much is too much?"
Here is the new rule of thumb for children who practice sports, according to sports medicine researchers at the Loyola University Medical Center and Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago: Don't spend more hours than your age in training during a given week. This advice is based on a study conducted among 1,206 athletes, ages eight to 18, who were given physical examinations for sports injuries between 2010 and 2013. Of the 859 injuries documented, 564 were due to overuse, and 139 of these were serious, including stress fractures, elbow ligament injuries, and damaged cartilage and bone. Serious injuries such as these can require six months or longer for a full recovery.
According to this data, youth athletes who play a sport for more hours than their age per week were 70 percent more likely to incur serious overuse injuries than other types of injuries. "We should be cautious about intense specialization in one sport before and during adolescence," says Neeru Jayanthi, M.D., associate professor at Loyola University Chicago's Stritch School of Medicine.
What ACE Thinks
The new rule of thumb that this study endorses—don't spend more hours than your age in training in a given sport per week—is excellent advice for parents and coaches. In the climate of growing pressure to specialize at increasingly young ages, the results of this study are an important reminder that keeping a child healthy and injury-free far outweighs any perceived competitive advantage derived from excessive training. Plus, the importance of the "fun factor" in playing sports should not be underestimated. Specializing too soon takes that away.
