Rubbish IPv6 makes it harder to track traffic, besides if your downloading stuff across various networks that distribute copyrighted content then why the hell are you downloading stuff without a Blocklist & Blacklist all those IP addresses that belong to the idiots who call themselves the copyright police.

There are unfortunately legal precedents that establish clearly that ignorance of the law is not a defense. In this case, it means that if you downloaded an illegal file, hacked commercial application, cracked DVD movie, or whatever, you are indeed guilty of an illegal act and can, theoretically at least and thusly liable for prosecution. Part of the problem is that some of the tasks you can do on your computer are indeed considered illegal, even if common sense suggests that they should be perfectly legal and fair. For example, if I buy a DVD, it is unclear to me why it's illegal for me to copy it to my laptop so I can watch it while I travel. Or if I buy an album from the iTunes Store or copy one I already own on CDR, then why can't I convert that data into a format that will work on my non-Apple mp3 player. Both of those are illegal and one of the big issues that people will be debating for years is this very topic of "fair use" versus "digital rights management".

I've decided to blow off the downmod I just gave you in order to explain something to you:
1. Clinton was appointed by the court to defend an accused rapist.
2. She asked to be excused from the case, presumably because she knew or at least strongly suspected the defendant had actually committed the offence.
3. The judge would not let her off the case.

In 2010, SOLVIT helped 1 363 citizens and businesses who ran into difficulties getting their Single Market rights recognised by national public administrations. Of the cases filed in 2010, 34% related to social security issues, 23% were about residence rights and 16% concerned recognition of professional qualifications. 90% of cases were successfully resolved, and the average time for treating a case was 66 days. Such a high success rate achieved under tight deadlines would not be possible under either infringement proceedings or formal judicial procedures, which can take up to several years.
This archive material includes the following items:

VMware makes cloud jumping easy
VMware's vCloud Connector (VCC) is a free VMware virtual appliance and vSphere plug-in that makes it a snap to transfer VMware virtual machines, templates and vApps between clouds.
Private clouds: Not for the faint of heart
In a typical VMware cloud setup, if you assume that VMware ESX installations are clouds, one needs to export VMs to a temporary location, then import them to another cloud.
VCC does this in one pass, rather than two. VCC links clouds together as an appliance, and completes the task of moving a virtual machine (VM) from one cloud to another without an intermediate stop.
We installed the virtual appliance into our VMware cloud infrastructure, then added the plug-in. Without doing anything more than right-clicking "VM asset objects", we moved a bevy of VM assets from our network operations center (NOC) at nFrame to some handy vCloud instances that we'd provisioned at BlueLock, an cloud hosting service in Indianapolis.
BlueLock is a VMware vCloud affiliate and its vCloud "skies" (host platforms) are credit card-provisioned VMware vDirector-managed resources that can be used ad hoc. Organizations generally keep several instances in readiness until they need them, then turn them (and their cost) on and off as needs arise and expire.
We asked the BlueLock people if we could have four separate vClouds, each with instances supporting a standard provisioning of two vCPUs, some disk, some memory.
We right-clicked VMs, and sent them on their merry way to the target destination. The instances moved between BlueLock's facility and our NOC VMware cloud with nary a problem, as though they were there in the lab.
There are networking, DNS/instance-naming and other options provided through vDirector, which BlueLock uses as its admin console app. This is cloud like it should be: right-click, select, target, and go.
We then logged onto I-Land Internet Services, another vCloud provider and bought some more vCloud. We provisioned it identically. We logged on with the VCC plug-in. We started moving VMs around the clouds, once again as though they were inside the lab or at our hosting managed service provider, nFrame.
Sometimes in simplicity, there is bliss.
How we got there
Installation of VMware cloud connector is very simple. We needed a Windows PC with at least Internet Explorer 7 and our version of vSphere had to be 4.X (must be using vCenter). Secondly, we had import an OVF file which contained the VCC virtual appliance. Once that was imported into our infrastructure, we launched the VM, setup the network connection and user names and passwords.
Next, we had to connect the appliance to our vCenter by visiting a Web server running on the VCC virtual appliance, which allowed us to register the vSphere plug-in to use in the vSphere client.
But all was not entirely glorious. The GUI doesn't update well when outside changes are made to vCloud Director. For example, we created a new catalog in vCloud Director at BlueLock, and it didn't show up until we restarted the entire vSphere client rather than refreshed data about the object that had changed.
VMware says that's how it's supposed to work, but we're betting they change it because it's really inconvenient. The Reload Data command, used on objects to refresh the observation of their state, doesn't work either. OK, VCC is 1.0.
Overall, the vCloud Connector is seductively convenient. The limitations are: vSphere requires IE7+ only (other browser users: go fish as vSphere is oddly captive to Windows), it currently doesn't refresh object states easily — relegating it to quick-and-dirty movements, and finally, it doesn't work with other VMware VM movement tools, like High Availability clustering or vMotion.
But it's free. And it's got the very seductive quality of doing tricks that only command-line lovers can do.

Scarlets' Owen suspended
Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:41
Scarlets received mixed news following the disciplinary hearings of Rob McCusker and Gareth Owen in Dublin on Wednesday.
The duo appeared before David Martin (Chairman), George Spotswood and Tommy Dalton (all Ireland) after they were red carded during the Pro12 Boxing Day clash with Ospreys.
McCusker's offence, contrary to Law 10.4(b), was determined to be at the lower end of the relevant scale of seriousness, and the Committee held that in the particular circumstances of this case, that no further sanction should apply, so the he is free to resume playing.
Owen, however, was not so fortunate as his act, under Law 10.4(i), warranted a sanction with a mid-range entry point. The Committee, having taken into account all mitigating factors, and in the absence of any aggravating factors, imposed a three-week suspension, which expires at on Wednesday, January 17.

BOMBINGS IN MADRID: THE ATTACK; 10 Bombs Shatter Trains in Madrid, Killing 192
By ELAINE SCIOLINO; Dale Fuchs contributed reporting for this article.
Published: March 12, 2004
MADRID, March 11— Ten bombs ripped through four commuter trains in Madrid during the morning rush hour on Thursday, killing at least 192 people and wounding more than 1,400 in the deadliest terrorist attack on a European target since World War II.
The Spanish authorities initially blamed the Basque separatist group ETA. But after finding a van near Madrid with detonators and a tape of Koran verses, they held open the possibility of Islamic terrorism.
A group claiming links to Al Qaeda took responsibility for the attacks in a letter delivered to an Arabic newspaper, but an American counterterrorism official said the claim should be viewed skeptically.
Spain, an American ally in the war on Iraq, has 1,300 troops stationed there and was explicitly threatened in an audiotape last October reportedly made by Osama bin Laden.
As the country struggled to absorb the devastation, three days before general elections, Prime Minister José María Aznar said, ''March 11 now has its place in the history of infamy.''
The bombings came in coordinated explosions in quick succession shortly before 8 a.m. The police found and detonated three other bombs.
At the main Atocha commuter station in the heart of Madrid, just a block from the Prado Museum, an explosion cut a train in two, sending pieces of metal high into the air. Bloody victims crawled from mangled train cars and staggered into the streets. Other victims were found burned to death in their seats.
There, and at the nearby Santa Eugenia and El Pozo stations, broken bodies and body parts were thrown along the platforms as rescue workers struggled to separate the dead from the wounded.
Amet Oulabid, a 23-year-old carpenter, said he got off the front of the train at the Atocha station just seconds before the bomb went off in one of its rear cars.
''I saw bodies flying,'' he said. ''There was a security guard dripping with blood. People were pushing and running. I saw a woman who had fallen on the tracks because people were pushing so hard. I escaped with my life by a hair.''
At El Pozo, just east of downtown Madrid, Luz Elena Bustos, 42, got off a nearby bus just 10 minutes before the explosion at that station.
''There were pieces of flesh and ribs all over the road,'' she said. ''There were ribs, brains all over. I never saw anything like this. The train was blown apart. I saw a lot of smoke, people running all over, crying.''
People combed the city's major hospitals in search of family members who they thought were aboard the trains. ''Oh, please, God! This can't be happening,'' said Carmen Gómez, 47, sobbing as she studied a patient list in vain at Gregorio Maranón Hospital, seven hours after the terrorist attack. ''How could a human being do this?''
Most of the victims were ordinary middle- and working-class people and university students commuting into Madrid, though children were also among the dead.
Spanish authorities immediately pointed to the Basque group ETA, which has been seeking independence for more than three decades.
''It is absolutely clear that the terrorist organization ETA was seeking an attack with wide repercussions,'' Interior Minister Ángel Acebes told a hastily called news conference. But later, he was less categorical, after investigators found the van with the detonators and the Koran tape.
The van, which had been stolen in Madrid on Feb. 28, was found in Alcalá de Henares, the birthplace of Cervantes, which was the departure point for three of the four trains bombed Thursday morning.
''Because of this, I have just given instructions to the security forces not to rule out any line of investigation,'' Mr. Acebes said. But he added that ETA remained the ''main line of investigation.''
He said more than 220 pounds of dynamite packed into backpacks had been used in the attacks.
Arnaldo Otegi, leader of Batasuna, ETA's political wing, which has been banned in Spain, said ETA probably was not behind the attacks. He said the attack could have been the work of ''Arab resistance.''
Another senior Spanish official said in an interview that the bombs used titadine, a kind of compressed dynamite found in a van containing 1,100 pounds of explosives that was intercepted last month as it headed for Madrid. Two suspected ETA members were arrested at the time.
The official added that the government believed that the dynamite was stolen from France three years ago. ''This material has a kind of signature on it,'' the official said.
On Dec. 24, the police foiled a plot that would have detonated two bombs in a train after it arrived at a Madrid station. They seized a man with a bomb in San Sebastián, a Basque city. He had a ticket for the train, and when the police halted the train and searched it, they found a second bomb.
The letter claiming responsibility for the attack on Thursday was delivered to Al Quds Al Arabi, a London-based Arab newspaper. It also said an attack on the United States was on the final stages of preparation.
''We bring the good news to Muslims of the world that the expected 'winds of black death' strike against America is now in its final stage,'' the letter said, adding that the strike was ''90 percent'' ready ''and, God willing, near.''
The government declared a three-day period of mourning, and political parties called off all remaining campaign events, although the elections will proceed Sunday as scheduled.
Some Spaniards are calling the attacks the country's ''9/11,'' and the front page of a special edition of the biggest daily, El País, ran the headline, ''11-M,'' for ''11 Marzo.''
''All of Spain is suffering,'' said Mariano Rajoy, the front-runner in Sunday's election and leader of the governing Popular Party, who has made the fight against terrorism a centerpiece of his campaign and pledged to follow Mr. Aznar's policies. ''This is a moment to put aside differences and show unity with the victims and their families.''
José Luís Rodríguez Zapatero, the leader of the Socialist Party and Mr. Rajoy's main rival, said, ''I hope that these scum, these criminals, fall as swiftly as possible into the hands of the police'' so ''we can put an end to ETA.''
The bombs were contained in plastic bags and backpacks that were planted on four trains. The police quickly sealed off the bomb sites and blocked off surrounding streets.
The police had been put on alert for a possible terrorist attack as the country prepared to go to the polls. But the attacks clearly took Mr. Aznar, his government and the Spanish people by surprise.
In an interview on Wednesday, Mr. Aznar, who survived a terrorist attack by ETA in 1995, when he was the opposition leader, boasted that terrorism ''is a lot weaker than it was.''
The security situation seemed so secure that King Juan Carlos attended the soccer match on Wednesday evening between Spain's star-studded Real Madrid team and Munich.
On Thursday, the king, accompanied by his wife, Queen Sofía; their son and heir, Prince Felipe; and his fiancée, Letizia Ortíz, visited a hospital in central Madrid to comfort survivors and their families.
ETA has been fighting for a separate Basque homeland in northwestern Spain and southwestern France for more than three decades and has been branded a terrorist group by the United States and the European Union.
If ETA is found to be responsible, that could widen the margin of victory for Mr. Rajoy and improve the chances of the Popular Party to win an absolute majority of 350 seats.
It would also indicate a sharp change in its tactics and targets. ETA almost always gives warnings in advance and claims responsibility, and has never conducted an attack of this magnitude. Its deadliest attack came in Barcelona in 1987, when 21 people were killed in a supermarket.
ETA has been severely damaged by cooperation between Spain and France, and last year the group killed only 3 people, compared with 23 in 2000 and 15 in 2001.
Thousands of people have died in Europe over the decades in violent attacks by groups like ETA in Spain and the Irish Republican Army in Northern Ireland, but no single incident has approached the scale of Thursday's attacks here.
Libyan terrorist operations killed 270 people in the bombing of an American airliner, Pan American Flight 103, over Scotland in 1988, and 171 people in a French airliner brought down over Africa in 1989.

Kalamazoo is really fortunate to be home to an Alamo Drafthouse; they are one of the most prestigious theater chains in the world. As a massive film geek, I don't spend my movie-going dollars anywhere else. One reason for this (beyond the strict no-talking, no-texting policy) is their penchant for bringing independent, foreign, and art-house films to Kalamazoo—ones that would never normally play in our mid-sized market. In fact, the Austin-based company has its very own distribution arm and, as you can imagine, they specialize in "provocative, visionary and artfully unusual films new and old from around the world" (their own words). Some of the many great movies found under the Drafthouse Films label include A Band Called Death, The Act of Killing, The Overnighters, A Field in England, and many more.One recent favorite of theirs I saw was a creepy indie film called Spring that one promotional blurb perfectly referred to as "Richard Linklater meets H.P. Lovecraft." As a fan of both creators, this intrigued me. The story follows a young man who sets off to backpack around Europe after his mother dies and the rest of his life falls apart. In Italy, he begins a flirtation with an attractive-yet-aloof young woman, and the two spend a lot of time walking and talking around her scenic coastal village, much like Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy did in Linklater's Before Sunrise series. However, the woman is harboring a dark secret—one that evokes the primordial horror of Lovecraft tales, and one that may pose a threat to more than just their relationship. To say more would be to spoil, but I definitely recommend checking the film out if you're looking for an unusual twist on two familiar genres. And be sure to check other Drafthouse Films, both here at KPL and at downtown's Alamo Drafthouse location!
Albert Maysles, the trailblazing documentary filmmaker passed away a few months ago but his unique cinematic and narrative vision, innovative editing practices and observational attentiveness are still available to enjoy through the viewing of some of his most important works, including: Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter, Salesman, LaLee's Kin: The Legacy of Cotton (coming soon!), and Primary.
Every year, dozens of horror films are dumped on the movie-going public—many of them profitable, most of them awful. Thankfully, each year there always seems to be one or two gems that manage to make it to market, and as a fan of the genre, it is my duty to seek them out. Last year, one of these instant cult classics was The Babadook, the terrifying (if curiously titled) Australian film debut from writer-director Jennifer Kent. I discovered this film at my annual pilgrimage to the Traverse City Film Festival and have been singing its praises since.
The Babadook follows Amelia, a beleaguered single mother whose troubled young son, Samuel, is a very taxing ward. Samuel has a hyperactive fear of monsters and a predilection for making homemade weapons, which gets him into a lot of trouble both at home and at school. He constantly seeks nighttime refuge in his mother's bed, tense and clinging. Amelia finds herself overworked, overstressed, and severely deprived of sleep. She also harbors an unspoken resentment of her son; she secretly blames him for the death of her husband, who died in a car accident while taking her to the hospital the night Samuel was born.
The film gets its title from a children's storybook that Amelia finds in her house: Mister Babadook tells the tale of a ghastly figure in a black overcoat and top hat who terrorizes children and represents one's darkest impulses. Once Amelia reads this book to her son, they begin to be tormented by an unsettling presence. But is there really a monster named Babadook after them, or is Amelia just becoming psychologically unraveled? Either way, danger will reach a boiling point.
The Babadook plays like a Tim Burton acid-trip gone horribly wrong. It's arguably the most intense film I've ever sat through—even without the dread-inducing bogeyman, the reluctantly dutiful relationship between mother and son is such a source of angst and consternation that you'll be clenching your fists and gritting your teeth for the majority of the film's running time. All of which is to say, this film is a must-see for horror fans. It's one that will get under your skin and stick with you, because much like the eponymous storybook suggests, once you let him in, you can't get rid of The Babadook.
We own a comprehensive reference book called 1001 Movies You Must See before You Die. I've used it on several occasions to select titles for the collection. I am pleased to report that the library owns many of these classic films. I thought I would share a film from each decade, highlighted by the editors of the book. There are many films that we simply cannot add to the collection because they are not available or out of print. Intolerance (1916)—D.W. Griffith's attempt to counter the negative reception of his previous film The Birth of a NationMetropolis (1927)—Widely considered by critics as the first, science fiction epic, Fritz Lang's Metropolis was far ahead of its time, incorporating elements of sex, violence and special effects into the plot structure. It so confused audiences with its various allusions, subtext and allegories that it bombed at the box office. The 39 Steps (1935)—Before making films that unnerved American audiences in the 1950's and 60's, British director Alfred Hitchcock made this high octane film that employs the trope of the character who unwittingly sees something they're not supposed to see and who then becomes entangled in a mystery (that always involves a chase) that endangers their life.The Philadelphia Story (1940)—Slapstick and romance never worked so well in this star power-driven farce that features Cary Grant, James Stewart and Katharine Hepburn.Umberto D (1952)—Made during the peak of Italian Neorealism's influence, Vittorio De Sica's heartbreaking tale of the daily struggles of an elderly man and his pet dog will undoubtedly produce a tear or two. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966)—One of the great film adaptations of a stage play, Mike Nichols' film was successful in due part to having a real life married couple playing the lead characters. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor give electrifying performances in this dialogue-heavy portrait of marital gamesmanship. Killer of Sheep (1977)—Considered by many critics an essential piece of American independent movie-making, Killer of Sheep was Charles Burnett's first feature and his most critically praised. Subtle yet moving, the film established itself as one of the first films to depict African Americans as ordinary subjects going about their everyday lives, burdened yet dynamic, imbued with dignity and agency. My Left Foot (1989)—The first of three Oscars for actor Daniel Day-Lewis who gives a fantastic performance in this portrait of one man's extraordinary spirit in the face of physical limitations and social prejudice.Goodfellas (1990)—With all due respect to The Godfather trilogy, this is the greatest mob film and arguably Martin Scorsese's best work.Russian Ark (2001)—The film that ultimately achieved the technical feat that Hitchcock once sought to accomplish (cameras ran out of film after 10 minutes in the late 40's)—a film shot in one continuous take without a single cut.
Last month, The Criterion Collection re-released a new version of the animated classic Watership Down (1978), an allegorical film that explores themes related to human conflict and political repression through the eyes of a band of rabbits, seeking a peaceful life, far away from the dangers posed by human development and other predatory animals. Working as an intense, often grim critique of the environmental cost of land development, a small group of rabbits led by Hazel, Bigwig and Fiver, attempt to flee both the dangers posed by people and an increasingly authoritarian rabbit society, one that could be read as a symbol of the rigid class divisions in Britain of the late 1970's. Beautifully drawn, scored and voiced, Watership Down hasn't lost its power to question and explore social and environmental dynamics, much of which remains germane today.
Here are some selected titles that staff feel are hidden gems, secret treasures or unknown classics that you may have missed or simply never knew existed. Before Ryan Gosling was a huge movie star and occasional internet meme, he made the quirky, small budget film Lars and the Real Girl, a tale about a socially awkward man who falls in love with…yes…a blow up doll. Years before he struck it big with Birdman, Alejandro Innaritu directed Amores Perros, a gritty film set in Mexico City that connects several storylines and characters together ala Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia or Innaritu's more commercially successful work Babel.Safe is "a profoundly unsettling work from the great American director Todd Haynes, Safe functions on multiple levels: as a prescient commentary on self-help culture, as a metaphor for the AIDS crisis, as a drama about class and social estrangement, and as a horror film about what you cannot see. This revelatory drama was named the best film of the 1990s in a Village Voice poll of more than fifty critics."—The Criterion CollectionPrior to Peter Jackson's adaptations of the Lord of the Rings books, he and a young and relatively unknown actress named Kate Winslet collaborated on Heavenly Creatures, a shocking, true crime story that took place in New Zealand in the 1950's. Two teenage girls develop an inseparable bond and as their fantasy-fueled relationship grows increasingly lethal, their parents attempt to break them apart.Forbidden Games is a 1952 French film that depicts the macabre yet childlike way that an orphaned girl grapples with her grief after her parents are killed by the Germans during World War II. Befriended by a young boy and taken in by his peasant family, the adults are ill equipped to sympathize with the grisly ways in which the children cope with the trauma of war.Certified Copy might be one of the more unique and certainly beguiling films to explore the complexities and narrative like qualities of a relationship. Similar to the Richard Linklater "Before" trilogy in that these films focus on dialogue more so than plotting and action, Iranian master filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami tackles questions about truth, authenticity and subjectivity both in how these ideas manifest themselves within human relationships as well as art.Shadows was the first film from maverick American director John Cassavetes and while it doesn't possess the richness and complexity of his later films, it marked a key moment in the history of American cinema for its low budget appearance and verite approach. Exploring interracial relationships in New York City during the Beat-era and originally scored by bassist Charles Mingus, Shadows is considered by historians as an early prototype for what came to be dubbed "independent cinema."Election—Alexander Payne's debut hits all the right marks when it comes to this high school-set black comedy starring a fantastic Reese Witherspoon as the hyper-achieving foil to Matthew Broderick's squeaky clean teacher.Muriel—Alain Resnais, the late French master of fragmented pyscho-dramas with beguiling plot structures made his name with Hiroshima Mon Amour and Late Year at Marienbad but fans of those works should give this lesser known work the attention it deserves.
One of the most significant and original British directors of the post-war era, Nicolas Roeg has carved out a unique and influential oeuvre, making radically inventive films that advanced the grammar of cinema. Narratively complex and often puzzling films that work like mosaics, his films tend to have very powerful images and enigmatic shifts in tone that work to foster unease and uncertainty. Known for innovations in plotting, sound effects and editing, Roeg's most well-known movies are his finest beginning in 1970 with the beguiling Performance, starring Mick Jagger. Walkabout (1971), Don't Look Now (1973), The Man Who Fell to Earth (1975), Bad Timing (1980), and Insignificance (1985) have all been deemed by critics as significant contributions to movie making for their adventurous, envelope-pushing qualities. The Criterion Collection has recently released arguably his best and most commercially successful film, the psychological thriller Don't Look Now, a film so full of misdirection and subtle ambiguities, viewers will want to return again and again to plumb its possible meanings. The film, ostensibly about a grieving couple working through their trauma takes on a more sinister tone when viewers are confronted early on in the film with the possibility that "nothing is what it seems." An absolute masterpiece without categorization.
Civil War enthusiasts will be sorely disappointed if they watch the brilliant film Sherman's March believing that the critically acclaimed, National Film Registry inclusion is about the 19th century war and the union general's destructive rampage of the South. Ross McElwee's autobiographical documentaries are poignant, self-deprecating and honest examinations of his life, notably his sometimes troubled relationship with family members, women and the South (he was born in Charlotte, NC). Noted for the humor and candor that he brings to his one-man, low production films about his angst-filled life, McElwee's significant works are collected in The Ross McElwee DVD Collection. These are personal works that meditate on existential and universal themes: death, birth, love and family.
March is Women's History Month and so in keeping with the theme of highlighting the achievements and contributions of women involved with movie-making, here's a list of writers, directors and some of their groundbreaking works.Ava DuVernay (I Will Follow, Middle of Nowhere, Selma)Agnes Varda (Cleo from 5 to 7, Vagabond)Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty)Lena Dunham (Girls, Tiny Furniture)Maya Deren (Maya Deren: Experimental Films)Penny Marshall (A League of Their Own)Allison Anders (Border Radio)Claire Denis (White Material, Bastards)Chantal Akerman (From the Other Side, Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles)Lynne Ramsay (Ratcatcher)Ida Lupino (The Hitchhiker)Elaine May (The Birdcage, A New Leaf)
If you're looking to supplement your Valentine's Day activities with some movie-watching, here are some standard and not-so standard (the quirky, the weird and the sad) romantic films from the KPL collection.

Ship Brokering
Clarkson Shares Surge
Shares in Horace Clarkson Plc surged 14.3 percent on Wednesday after the British shipping broker said its year turnover and profit was expected to "very substantially" exceed market expectations – (Reuters)
Suezmax Rates Set To Soar
Surging Suezmax tanker rates are set to soar if Iraqi exports come back on stream next week, shipping brokers contend. Rates for the one million barrel tankers have lifted to around 100 Worldscale points on fixtures from West Africa and the North Sea to the U.S., and on cross Mediterranean and North Sea routes, brokers said.
First Tanker Fixed For Next Phase Of Oil For Food Deal
The first tanker to carry Iraqi oil exports under the next phase of the U.N. "oil for food" deal has been chartered subject to the program being extended, according to shipping brokers. The Panamanian-registered VLCC Kristhild has been fixed to Russian trader Ursa to sail from the Gulf port of Mina al-Bakr to the U.S. Gulf, provided the United Nations and Iraq reach an accord to continue exports beyond Nov. 20. The 258
Oil Tankers Booked Off US Gulf For Storage
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, two oil tankers have been booked for use as floating storage vessels off the U.S. Gulf Coast this month, shipping brokers told Dow Jones Newswires on June 27. Source: The Wall Street Journal
Asia Dry Bulk Capesize Rates Stay Flat
Rates for capesize bulk carriers on key Asian routes are set to remain in the doldrums next week, staying flat or gaining just a few cents as an oversupply of ships weighs on cargo availability, ship brokers said. But there could be brighter prospects in the coming weeks on rates for voyages from Brazil to China if chartering activity increases, brokers added. "There's no real direction to the capesize market. There's not enough cargo volume
Asia Dry Bulk-Capesize Market 'Imploding'
Capesize rates fall to six-year lows; rates below ship operating costs, according to accountancy firm. Rates for capesize bulk carriers on key Asian routes, which crashed close to six-year lows on Wednesday, will continue their inexorable fall in the face of few fresh cargoes, brokers said. "The market is not very pretty. I've never seen it this low in my time. There is absolutely nothing happening," one Singapore-based capesize broker said on Thursday.
Tanker Rates React To OPEC
Tanker rates to the West firmed as charterers and operators took on board the implications of OPEC's decision to raise oil output, brokers reported. Rates of W68.5 ($11.50 per ton) for 280,000 tons to Europe and 255,000 tons to the U.S. Gulf ($11.75) were a Worldscale point or so above last done, brokers said. But the market appeared to be acting in a schizophrenic manner to the Far East where rates at best held for South Korea at W77.5 (about $7
FONASBA calls for clarity
The Federation of National Associations of Ship Brokers and Agents (FONASBA) has called for more clarity in ship agents' rate structures. Speaking at the federation's recent annual meeting in Portugal, FONASBA president Edouard de Clebsattel said, "The relationship between the principal and the ship agent is one built on trust. It is important for that trust that principals understand clearly how they are being charged and what the fees cover
OPEC Output Increase Could Cause Tanker Shortage
Any easing of OPEC oil output restraints would be unlikely to create a shipping shortage despite charterers currently avoiding older tankers, ship brokers and analysts said. Signs that OPEC oil producers could relax their four million barrel a day output restraints in April which have lifted Brent oil prices to over $27.00 a barrel, were unlikely to cause demand to outstrip tanker supply, they said. This was despite charterers seeking to use newer vessels since the 25-year-old tanker Erika
Wave of New Bulk Carriers Expected to Upset Freight Rates
Some shipping brokers expect spot freight rates for Panamax bulk carriers to decline next spring when a large number of new bulk carriers enter service. About 100 newly built bulk carriers with cargo capacities of 50,000 to 80,000 tons are to be delivered in 2001, up from about 70 vessels this year, possibly causing rates to fall, the brokers said. Spot rates for Panamax bulk carriers for the U.S. Gulf/Japan route have recently risen to three-and-a-half year highs.
Asia Dry Bulk-Capesize Rates Steady
Rates for capesize bulk carriers, which climbed to their highest since at least January on Wednesday, are likely to remain steady next week on tighter tonnage supply, ship brokers said. That comes as charterers could hold back cargoes to cool this week's rise in freight rates
Asia Dry Bulk-Capesize Rates Mixed on Uncertainty
Capesize rates slide after hitting 5-month high. Rates for capesize bulk carriers eased this week after hitting their highest since December, and could come under pressure next week if charterers hold back cargoes, ship brokers said. "So far, I can't see too much cargo in the market

hey there, I really liked this story. Good Job!
| shittygomu chapter 1 . 6/5/2010
Sanji claustrophobic... I'm kinda wondering how small the space was... especially the height. Ah well, small enough to be claustrophobic works for me. Or maybe just small enough to not be albe to stretch. (Zoro would never be claustrophobic, he got stuck in a friggin' chimney and didn't freak out)
Nobody in the crew would actually care if Sanji was claustrophobic. Maybe Chopper.
I liked the "Of course, three strikes on the Sanji scoreboard: make someone starve, waste food, and hurt a little girl." sentence. I also liked... pretty much the whole story.
| MayDayGirl-Save-Our-Ships chapter 1 . 6/2/2010
This was an amazing one too! I just love people learning about the past and how they got together. And the food part... I'm so glad you included Sanji's reaction! Seriously, that MADE the story for me. He can really relate to Zoro and they both would have done the same thing.
"Could, but wouldn't. Nakama and all that." *gasps* i love this part! I love the casual way being Nakama effects them, even though a lot of times they don't notice it. Another amazing fic from you! This is definitively one of my favorite one-shots I've read from you so far.

KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) - Peter Vermes never thought another Major League Soccer team would put together the kind of start that the Los Angeles Galaxy accomplished during the league's inaugural season.
There were only 10 teams back in 1996, and hardly the same level of parity. Travel schedules were less taxing, the talent pool much shallower and the spotlight hardly shined as brightly.
The Galaxy won their first eight games in regulation, and their first 12 overall, setting a standard for excellence that for 15 years went unmatched. When Sporting Kansas City takes the pitch against Portland on Saturday night, it will do so with a chance to make history.
The club has won its first seven games in regulation, one shy of the Galaxy's record.
"I don't know if you ever think it's going to happen," said Vermes, who played for the New York/New Jersey MetroStars during that inaugural season and is now Sporting KC's manager.
Sporting KC will have to win for the third time in eight days to achieve the milestone. It knocked off Real Salt Lake before heading on the road, and then beat Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Wednesday night for its fifth straight win over the Western Conference.
The success is hardly surprising given the way Sporting KC finished last year.
Playing in a glittering new stadium, the franchise came on after a miserable start to win the Eastern Conference and advance to the MLS Cup semifinals. The young squad lost 2-0 to the Houston Dynamo, but it gained valuable experience and generated plenty of momentum that has carried into this season.
Kei Kamara leads the league with 36 shots, including 16 on goal. Jimmy Nielsen has the most wins (all seven) and shutouts (five) of any goalkeeper. The team has allowed only two goals this year, and has gone long stretches without even allowing a shot on goal.
"They really worked in the offseason and they put themselves in a great position, a great situation," Vermes said. "That's a credit to them, the team, the organization, and wanting to be successful. Momentum only sustains itself if those guys are committed to the long-term."
Sporting KC's start has been something of a relief in a city starved for success.
The NFL's Chiefs went 7-9 last season, their head coach getting fired along the way, and haven't won a playoff game since 1993. And Major League Baseball's Royals were riding a seven-game losing streak into Friday night's game against Toronto, and haven't even made the playoffs since 1985.
Meanwhile, thousands have been filtering into Livestrong Sporting Park, which has become a hip, new destination for sports fans. A sell-out crowd of 20,323 showed up to watch a game against the Galaxy a couple of weeks ago, nearly out-drawing a Royals game across town the same night.
Even the stadium itself has been racking up awards.
The $200 million-plus facility near Kansas Speedway is a finalist for "Sports Facility of the Year" by the SportsBusiness Journal and "Venue of the Year" by TheStadiumBusiness Awards. Fans have taken to Twitter to set up pep rallies and gatherings, and many have taken to the road, a merry band of followers having quite the ball.

Summaries for YKT6 Gene
This gene product is one of the SNARE recognition molecules implicated in vesicular transport between secretory compartments. It is a membrane associated, isoprenylated protein that functions at the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi transport step. This protein is highly conserved from yeast to human and can functionally complement the loss of the yeast homolog in the yeast secretory pathway. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
GeneCards Summary for YKT6 Gene
YKT6 (YKT6 V-SNARE Homolog (S. Cerevisiae)) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Delta508-CFTR traffic / ER-to-Golgi in CF and Nicotine Pathway (Dopaminergic Neuron), Pharmacodynamics. GO annotations related to this gene include SNAP receptor activity and protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for YKT6 Gene
Vesicular soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (v-SNARE) mediating vesicle docking and fusion to a specific acceptor cellular compartment. Functions in endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi transport; as part of a SNARE complex composed of GOSR1, GOSR2 and STX5. Functions in early/recycling endosome to TGN transport; as part of a SNARE complex composed of BET1L, GOSR1 and STX5. Has a S-palmitoyl transferase activity.
