DS Daily: Happy Father's Day!

DS Daily: Happy Father's Day!


In honor of Father's Day, we thought we'd ask a themed question: Who's your favorite father and son/daughter team? Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr., or, uh, hmm. Oh, how about Bowser and the Koopa Kids? Pac-Man and Baby Pac-Man? Pitfall Harry and Harry Jr. from Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure?

Man, we already had to go to Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure? Maybe you guys can think of more. We can't be retrogaming encyclopedias every day, okay? It would be pretty hard to limit this to the DS, but if you can think of DS characters, you win at commenting.

2007 Suzuki SX4 Preview



Small cars are back in vogue, thanks to high fuel prices and a plethora of appealing choices in the subcompact and compact car segment. Suzuki is jumping into the fray with the 2007 SX4, a cute little five-door hatchback that debuted at the 2006 New York Auto Show. Suzuki says the new SX4 is fun to drive, fun to use, and will instill pride of ownership in as many as 20,000 customers per year.

Due to arrive this fall to replace the outgoing Aerio model, the made-in-Japan 2007 Suzuki SX4 is available with front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with a fully equipped model selling for around $18,000. Suzuki says that SX4 stands for “Sport Crossover for Four seasons with 4WD,” and that crisp handling with little body roll is going to be a defining characteristic of the stylish little car.
The target customer for the 2007 Suzuki SX4 is between 20 and 40 years of age, someone with lots of hobbies, a flexible thinker not bound by stereotypes who enjoys life. Certainly, this buyer will also enjoy the standard seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and the selection of eight different colors, including a spiffy copper and a bright baby blue.

Oil prices rise by more than $1

I'm going to start using Tang in my tank and see what happens.

"Tell a friend to tell a friend!!"

Oil prices have rebounded to close more than a dollar a barrel higher mark amid concerns about supplies in the US.

In New York, light sweet crude closed $1.07 higher at $65.08 while in London Brent crude rose $1.03 to $69.07.

Analysts said prices had resumed their upward path after news BP had delayed restarting an oil refinery in Chicago.

Elsewhere, US figures also showed a surprise drop in US crude stockpiles, prompting concern that supplies will be unable to meet peak summer demand.

The key demand season for petrol in the US has kicked in, with the tight supplies pushing petrol prices well above $3 a gallon.

Stocks slip

The US Energy Department report showed domestic oil inventories fell by 2 million barrels, or 0.6%, to 342.2 million barrels in the week to 25 May.

Analysts had expected a rise of 300,000 barrels.

However, there was some good news as the report showed gasoline stocks had risen by 1.3 million barrels to 198 million during the period.

Stocks fears were further driven by reports that the oil group had been forced to delay reopening two units at its refinery in Whiting, Indiana, from June to September as a result of fire damage.

The Chicago-area refinery has a capacity to process 420,000 barrels of crude oil a day (bpd), but has been running around 200,000 bpd since the fire.

"The pipeline and refinery news today was definitely supportive. We can't afford to lose a drop of fuel," said Phil Flynn at Alaron Trading.

Recent rises in oil prices had been driven by fears that stockpiles were insufficient to cover rising demand from drivers during the key summer holiday driving season.

Rebound

The increase in crude prices was in sharp contrast to earlier in the trading day on Friday when prices slipped back below $68 a barrel.

News that protesters who were occupying a major export pipeline in Nigeria were expelled by community elders, allowing valves to reopen and for crude oil to flow, had briefly helped ease supply concerns.

About a third of oil from Nigeria is currently unavailable - primarily due to sabotage and attacks.
