Windells campers now have access to more snow than any other ski or snowboard summer camp in the world!
Things got off to a rowdy start yesterday as Newschoolers and Windells welcomed 90 freeskiers of all ages to camp for a week of shredding and shenanigans.
Another summer on Mt. Hood is just around the corner! In just a few short months, Windells infamous Private Park will come alive, the rope tows will start spinning and campers from around the globe will flock to the funnest place on earth. Spend the summer with your favorite pro athletes for a price that is now lower than ever!
Base Camp is a new semi-frequent photo column where we check out the cabins, lean-tos, igloos, tents, and RVs where mountain-minded folk base their adventures out of. To kick off the series, we check out the truckbed camper of friends James Roh and Joey Howell, who stopped through the TGR headquarters the other week during the Jackson Hole stop of their winter splitboarding on the road, which in a few weeks should leave them sitting pretty in the high Alaskan peaks.

According to an industry source, Blue Jays' third base coach Brian Butterfield is one of the four finalists for the Toronto managerial opening. Butterfield, 52, a native of Maine who still lives in the state, has also served as the Jays' bench coach during his nine-season tenure with the Jays. He has managerial experience in the minor leagues in the Yankees' organization.
Others identified as finalists for the Jays' job (which was held by Cito Gaston for the past 2 1/2 seasons) are Red Sox bench coach DeMarlo Hale, Sox pitching coach John Farrell, and Sandy Alomar Jr., the Indians' first-base coach. Neither Butterfield or representatives from the Blue Jays' organization were available for comment.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell joined the Dennis & Callahan Show Thursday morning to discuss a variety of topics, most notably the league's approach toward disciplining players for illegal hits. Goodell was in Boston Wednesday night to be honored by the Sports Legacy Institute, and is in the midst of a week where the NFL has fined three players (including Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather) a total of $175,000 for illegal hits levied during last weekend's games. (To hear the entire interview, click here).
The main topic Goodell addressed was how the NFL is approaching the disciplining of players going forward in regard to illegal hits/contact. The commissioner stated that he doesn't believe there will be any other dramatic alterations in terms of what fans will see on the field in regard to discipline, and that the NFL has a policy in...
Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs fired back at Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on Wednesday, saying Brady "whines" a lot. Suggs also promised to get the "last laugh" on Brady, and poked fun about the protection the quarterback has received in the wake of the creation of the "Brady Rule."
"For a guy that whines a lot, at least I didn't have any rules put in for me," Suggs told Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post. "I don't care. I'm over it. It was last week. He can have the last word, but I'll have the last laugh, I promise you."
Suggs comments came in the wake of the Patriots 23-20 win over Baltimore. The day after the game, Brady said Suggs and the Ravens "talk a lot of beating us once in nine years."
Suggs and Brady got into an argument during the game.
"He was trying to tell me how to bag a Hollywood...
At a Mayo Clinic conference on concussions in ice hockey, a panel recommended banning hits to the head at every level of the game — from youth to the NHL — and eliminating bodychecking under the age of 13. "The clock is ticking," said conference co-organizer Dr. Michael J. Stuart, the chief medical officer for USA Hockey and the father of three sons who have played in the NHL (including Bruins defenseman Mark Stuart). "If we say we need additional long-term injury research to validate any kind of recommendation, there will be a lot of athletes who'll suffer." Read more about that story, plus check out other stories, videos, trivia and more, at Thursday's Morning Mashup.
Gerald Perry, who spent the 2010 season as the hitting coach for the Red Sox' Triple-A affiliate, was named the Oakland A's hitting coach on Wednesday. Perry has spent 10 years as a big league hitting coach, serving in that capacity for the Mariners from 2000-02, the Pirates from 2003-05, the A's in 2006 and the Cubs from 2007-09.
The 2010 PawSox finished second-to-last in the International League in runs scored, though a number of Red Sox position prospects enjoyed strong developmental years at the level. Ryan Kalish, Lars Anderson, Josh Reddick and Daniel Nava headlined the notable prospects who worked with Perry while in Pawtucket this year.

Different approaches to economic development define Peterjohn, Longwell race
Primary 2012
- Daniel McCoy
- Reporter- Wichita Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
Whomever voters choose in the Republican primary will be the candidate who gets the seat. There's no Democratic challenger in this race.
Pitching to pragmatists
Longwell says that, with limited resources, Sedgwick County won't be able to throw the kind of cash at companies that other communities can.
But, he says, there are creative things it can do with things like land leases and property taxes that could at least make the county competitive.
He also says that any incentives would have to be handled through a "clearly defined process." That way, he says, the process itself vets out the projects, and government isn't left picking winners and losers.
Peterjohn, however, says a level playing field is best created by a more business-friendly tax code. The free market should pick the winners and losers, but a better tax code creates a wider pool of applicants willing to privately invest in projects.
He points to the issue of tax-increment financing as a local example of how the free market doesn't need government help. The County Commission in 2010 voted down a TIF district proposal in Planeview that was designed to bring a grocery store to the neighborhood. The Wichita City Council had previously approved the plan.
However, after the TIF was halted by the county, Triangle Investment Corp. came in to fund the project privately.
But Longwell points to projects both local and regional that wouldn't have happened without government incentives — projects that are now benefiting Wichita.
One example, he says, was the decision by Siemens Wind Energy to locate a new manufacturing plant in Hutchinson. That project made use of state and local incentives. And though it wasn't placed in Sedgwick County, the local economy is now benefiting from the supply chain companies and outlying facilities that have set up shop here, such as the Siemens distribution center in northeast Wichita.

38 year old man | Cleveland, OH, USA | Seeking women 27-38 within 100 miles of Pepper Pike, OH
Recently back in Ohio
Originally from Ohio, I've been away from Cleveland for six years and just recently moved back for work. I guess I am somewhat addicted to my career, however, I really try to keep up with friends and family. In the last ten years, I have lived in Hawaii, DC, and North Carolina and can provide amazing tales for each of them. Whether it was visiting the beach in Hawaii or NC, or meeting up for happy hour in the Capitol....I am thankful for all the memories I have experienced. As far as returning to Ohio, I wanted to be closer to my parents & friends and decided that Cleveland would be a great opportunity for this new chapter. Yes, I am huge Cleveland sports fan, and will do my best to arrange my work schedule to accomodate OSU football. Outside of football Saturdays, I have an interest exploring festivals and the fine arts (musicals, orchestra, etc). I have recently taken an interest in cooking but have not been featured on the Food Network yet. As far as my match goes, I am looking for someone who is well rounded with similar values who isn't afraid to teach me a thing or two. Obviously, compatibility, mutual attraction and laughter are all vital components. Hope to hear from you soon.

Are T.A.P.S. and The Ghost Hunters full of S.H.I.T?

Reports of All NVIDIA Cards Being Bad (65nm and 55nm Parts)

The research team, led by Leo Radom and Amir Karton from the Universities of Sydney and Western Australia, respectively, has used sophisticated quantum chemistry and supercomputers to design more powerful antioxidants.
Antioxidants work by scavenging free radicals and other oxidative species, preventing them from damaging the body's tissues and organs, the Journal of the American Chemical Society and Nature Chemistry reports.
"The supercomputer modelling allows us to probe deeply into the molecular structure and helps us to understand just why carnosine (found in meat, fish and eggs) is such an effective antioxidant. Armed with this understanding, we are then able to design even better antioxidants," said Radom, according to a Sydney and Western Australia statement.
The research team, working alongside Michael Davies, and David Pattison from the Heart Research Institute, investigated carnosine's effectiveness in scavenging the oxidant, hypochlorous acid.
Hypochlorous acid benefit the body when it is used as part of our immune system to fight off invading pathogens. However, in excessive levels it has been linked to the development of heart disease.
"While most people consume wine, berries and chocolate for an antioxidant boost, we turned on our computers! We were able to use supercomputers to improve the power of natural antioxidants and this may provide future benefit to the health industry," said Karton.

We Need Change!
, 01 23rd, 2015
It's been a LONG time (15-16years) since i last did a cover for Men's Folio. Even though it has been more than a decade, and they have done countless of covers that I cannot even keep track, I still think this is still the best one i've seen so far. A GOOD cover will last FOREVER. Christopher is like a fine wine, time young and fresh during the first cover and now matured beautifully for the upcoming shoot. I'll always remember the photo that was chosen all those years back. It reminded me of a page straight out of an art deco magazine!
In all honesty, I almost forgot we have Men's Folio in Singapore! The magazine was doing so well in the beginning of 2000 but everything changed when the power struggle started and eventually led to their downfall. I've always said this and i know i sound like a broken record but "WE NEED CHANGE!". All these old bird sitting high up in the sky are either too blind or sitting too far away to see that the people they've appointed are absolutely useless! The work that they've done have not contributed one little bit to the progress of this industry. I might be powerless to change how people think but I do hope they will reflect on their mistakes and make amends for this new year! Everything goes one big round and KARMA will always takes care of those who don't pick up their shit! Karma will serve you RIGHT!
The world is constantly moving and it doesn't matter if it's crawling or flying, I'm just glad we are where we are now. I'm also thankful that at this stage of my life, i still have the opportunity to meet and work with professionals from the next generation who are young, fashionable and possess a brand new burst of energy! I can just feel and smell the positivity in the air! So excited to be doing another cover with Christopher Lee again and thankful that Chris decided to accept the request of these new blood. I'm sure this collaboration is just the beginning of a fruitful adventure! Can't wait to see it on the stands!

British Prime Minister David Cameron concedes that Scotland had what it takes to be an independent nation, but said it currently enjoyed ''the best of both worlds'', imploring it not to break the United Kingdom apart.
Stepping up his government's campaign to hold Britain together ahead of an independence referendum expected next year, Cameron urged Scotland not to sever a union with England that dates back 306 years.
''Put simply: Britain works. Britain works well. Why break it?'' he wrote in an article published in Scottish newspapers.
''This big question is for Scotland to decide. But the answer matters to all of our United Kingdom. Scotland is better off in Britain. We're all better off together and poorer apart.''
Cameron's political future and historic legacy are on the line. He has pledged to contest the next British general election in 2015 and his own Conservative party would never forgive him if he presided over the break-up of a United Kingdom comprising England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
London's main parties are campaigning jointly against independence, knowing that Alex Salmond's Scottish National Party (SNP) is an astute and highly motivated political machine that will spare no effort to win a vote on its flagship policy.
Tapping into an emotive cocktail of historical rivalry, opposing political tastes, and a perception that the British parliament in London does not nurture Scotland's national interests, the ''Yes Scotland'' campaign wants independence to be a reality by 2016.
Scottish secession could create serious problems for the remainder of the United Kingdom.
Britain's Trident nuclear submarine fleet is based in Scotland, revenues from Scottish North Sea oil remain important to its coffers, and analysts said Britain would find it harder to maintain its voice in international bodies such as the UN Security Council as well as in European Union decision-making.
The SNP published a document this month suggesting the transition arrangements could be made within 16 months, and that Independence Day for Scotland could come in March 2016, a timetable opponents dismissed as unrealistic.
Opinion polls suggest support for independence has stalled. The latest put it at 32 per cent and opposition at 47 per cent. But Cameron and politicians from other parties remain nervous.
The government is expected to release the first of many policy papers on Scottish independence on Monday, analysing the legal and constitutional implications of a ''Yes'' vote.
One of the central planks of Cameron's argument is that Scotland already enjoys a high degree of autonomy through its own parliament, and he has hinted that it would be able to repatriate even more powers if it rejected full independence.
''I have no time for those who say there is no way Scotland could go it alone. I know first-hand the contribution Scotland and Scots make to Britain's success — so for me there's no question about whether Scotland could be an independent nation,'' Cameron writes.
''We want you to scrutinise, challenge and form your own opinion. This must not be a leap in the dark, but a decision made in the light of day.''

Recent USVI/St. John reviews
"We just returned from a perfect week on St. John at Brisas. Great home. Well-kept, comfortable, plenty of space, great main living area/kitchen, nice bedrooms, bathrooms and newer showers. Great breezes. Ceiling fans everywhere. Absolutely no need for a/c. Nice pool and hot tub. Most importantly - SPECTACULAR views from the multiple decks. And as far as the rough road to the villa goes - you get used to it after a day and at least there are none of the freaky switchbacks you encounter at many other villas. We loved Brisas and laid-back Coral Bay. See you next year!"
"Just had the BEST birthday trip ever! The Studio Suite was just as pictured and, just as already noted, within walking distance of great shops/restaurants. Both the property and room were well-maintained and clean. Had a blast at Castaway's happy hour - $1 well drinks, great fish tacos & bingo! Also, had the best meal ever at the Fish Trap (they even gave me a slice of cake w/candle and sung happy birthday, thanks Lori). I was originally planning a trip to St Thomas and am so glad I swithched to St John. Tracy was so easy to work with and answered any questions I had promptly. I am definitely returning and will definitely rent through Tracy again."
"My husband and I stayed for 8 days in December. The location is central, with a lovely view of the harbor. Easy to get to the north shore beaches or the beaches near Salt Pond and beyond. The studio is spacious, with the sleeping area separate from the living area. The owner is an artist, and the walls are covered with wonderful paintings. There is great light, comfy furniture, and is well stocked. There were a few minor problems which were addressed immediately by the manager. This truly is an oasis."
"Our family really enjoyed staying in this private house at the end, end, end of the road! Everything was clean and maintained well. I've stayed in places on St. John that had a more commanding view because they were higher up the mountain, but this spot is tranquil and still offered a picturesque place to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning on the second-floor deck. That deck is also a nice place to do some stargazing while listening to frogs and other night creatures. There are ruins right in your backyard, if you're willing to climb a bit, but they are totally worth the effort. This house provided plenty of room for a family of four -- we had the parents upstairs, one kid on the futon in the den and another on the pull-out couch. Having two bathrooms was nice, although note there's only one really useful shower. The outdoor shower provides very little privacy; more appropriate for a romantic getaway than a family vacation! :) The outdoor shower is very handy for just rinsing off after a day of hiking or at the beach if you were to do so while still in a swimsuit. Very nice kitchen amenities and an outdoor grill helped for some less-expensive meals cooked at home for a couple of nights. Despite very warm and humid weather, we never felt like we needed air conditioning thanks to the ceiling fans and comfortable breezes coming in the open doors and windows. Be prepared for visiting donkeys and, of course, the ever-present roosters make for some early mornings on the island. But then, you might as well get going early anyway since there is so much to do on St. John. The location was nice and secluded without being too far away from Coral Bay so you have relatively easy access to "town." Once you're stocked up on supplies, the owners provide plenty of coolers, beach towels and other things to help you enjoy your day at the beach or out hiking. While it's nice to be disconnected, we also appreciated the WiFi that was provided so we could upload and back up the many photos we were taking. All-in-all, a great place to call home for awhile. If we returned as a family again, this would be a place we would check on for availability."

Greg Grandin, professor of Latin American history at NYU and author of Empire's Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New Imperialism.
The ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has vowed to return to Honduras within the next few days in an attempt to reclaim power. Zelaya was forced out of office in a military coup d'etat on Sunday. He will reportedly return to Honduras accompanied by the OAS Secretary General, the presidents of Argentina and Ecuador, and the head of the UN General Assembly. But Roberto Micheletti, who was appointed interim leader by the Honduran congress, has given warning that Zelaya will be arrested should he return, regardless of who is traveling with him. We speak with Latin American historian Greg Grandin. [includes rush transcript]
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
JUAN GONZALEZ: The ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has vowed to return to Honduras within the next few days in an attempt to reclaim power. Zelaya's statement came after the Organization of American States approved a resolution on Wednesday that gave Honduras a seventy-two-hour deadline to restore him to the presidency or face expulsion from that group. In a statement, the OAS said it vehemently condemns the coup, which has, quote, "produced an unconstitutional alteration of the democratic order."
Earlier, the General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for the "immediate and unconditional" return of Zelaya to the Honduran presidency.
Zelaya was forced out of office and exiled to Costa Rica in a military coup d'etat on Sunday. He is currently in Panama, where he's attending the inauguration of the new Panamanian president. He will reportedly return to Honduras accompanied by the OAS Secretary General, the presidents of Argentina and Ecuador, and the head of the UN General Assembly, Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann.
But Roberto Micheletti, who was appointed interim leader by the Honduran congress just hours after the coup, has given warning that Zelaya will be arrested, should he return, regardless of who is traveling with him.
AMY GOODMAN: The coup has been widely condemned by leaders around the world. The World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank have cut new loans, and some European countries have recalled their ambassadors. The US has not legally classified the removal of Zelaya as a coup, which would automatically lead to the suspension of aid to Honduras, but the Pentagon has suspended military cooperation until further notice.
Meanwhile in Honduras, an overnight curfew has been toughened to allow people to be held for twenty-four hours without charge as protests continue on the streets.
Greg Grandin is with us now, professor of Latin American history at New York University, author of Empire's Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New Imperialism.
Welcome to Democracy Now! The latest from Honduras, as we hear thousands of people are out in the streets, Professor Grandin?
GREG GRANDIN: And that thirty to forty people have been detained or missing, according to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. There's a communiqué, was issued by the — by a popular front against the coup, saying that Battalion 3-16 is operating again. This is the famous battalion, a death squad, that in the 1980s was responsible for disappearing hundreds of people. Reports are troubling, and the coup leaders are holding fast. They're being defiant against worldwide condemnation of the coup.
AMY GOODMAN: Let's go back to 3-16, Battalion 3-16. This goes back to the Reagan years with John Negroponte, who was, what, the UN secretary — the former US secretary — US ambassador to the United Nations. You have John Negroponte, who was ambassador to Honduras at the time.
GREG GRANDIN: Right, the 1980s. And he was involved in organizing the Honduran branch of the Iran-Contra war. And the Baltimore Sun
ran a series of articles that were quite clear that he was involved in the cover-up of a number of death squad executions, over a hundred disappearances by Battalion 3-16.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Well, I remember being in Honduras in the mid-1980s and being startled by the heavy, heavy military presence in the streets. They would patrol regularly in San Pedro Sula and Puerto Cortes and the other major industrial towns, five and six at a time, with automatic weapons, as a normal part of the routine of everyday patrols. And so, Honduras has had a very difficult history in terms of being able to establish firm democratic processes, hasn't it?
GREG GRANDIN: Well, it's had the formalities of democracy since the early 1980s, you know, but a very narrow and restricted democracy. And in some ways, this is what peasant organizations and unions, that are now defending Zelaya, that are now demanding his restoration, are fighting to expand, are fighting to democratize and open up.
When Obama says, when President Barack Obama says — he does it very clearly and strongly and admirably — that he doesn't want to return to the dark policies of the past, what he's talking about is exactly what you're talking about, when Honduras was effectively an outpost of the United States's sort of the worst campaigns during the Cold War. I think the Council on Hemispheric Affairs called it the US battleship that couldn't sink, because it had so many US troops and that were basically administering the area, and still is the only country in Central America that has a permanent military base, Soto Cano military base. And this is another element of a US concern.
AMY GOODMAN: I know human rights leaders in Honduras are making a link between Billy Joya, who was active in Battalion 3-16, who is now a key security aide to the de facto leader, to President Micheletti. I don't know if we should be calling him "president."
GREG GRANDIN: Right, pretender to the presidency. There are reports that repression has increased. They've suspended civil liberties. They've enacted — they've claimed the right to detain people indefinitely past twenty-four hours. As I mentioned, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has said that between thirty and forty people are detained or their whereabouts aren't accounted for, so —-
JUAN GONZALEZ: Greg, could you comment about this -— the extraordinary nature of this coup is not so much in terms of the coup, but in terms of the response of the other Latin American countries. You're having — I think it's unprecedented that presidents of other countries would offer to escort a deposed leader back to the country to reassume power. Could you talk about how this — the changing nature of Latin America and how this is so unusual?
GREG GRANDIN: Yeah, well, obviously, as many viewers of Democracy Now! will know, that over the last ten years there's been this remarkable turn in Latin America, as one left or center-left government after another, different in policy and style, but broadly committed to sovereignty and multilateralism, have been elected, have come to power.
There was a precedent last year, when separatist attacks in Bolivia began to try to destabilize Evo Morales's government, and the US stayed silent and may have been — may have had a hand in it. The Latin — South America was unanimous in condemnation, and Brazil taking the lead and saying that there will be no civil — what they were calling a civil coup in Bolivia. So there was precedent to this outcry that we're seeing with Honduras.
AMY GOODMAN: And, Professor Grandin, can you talk about the US response, suspending military cooperation but not calling it a coup, because that would mean they would have to cut off all aid, which is extremely significant for Honduras, because when we were on with Dr. Almendares, head of the Honduran Peace Committee, he called Honduras an occupied country, occupied already by the United States, how dependent it is on the United States.
GREG GRANDIN: Yeah, between the trade remittances and foreign aid, Honduras is completely dependent on the United States. The US response has been schizophrenic, and the most generous reading of that is that the US is trying to retain some influence in order to negotiate a settlement without confrontation, without violence.
A more skeptical reading would understand the State Department's reluctance to call it a coup legally, although Hillary Clinton hasn't used the word in her pronouncements, but apparently there's a legal definition of what a coup is, is that they're trying to obtain leverage over Zelaya to back down of some of his populist policies. You could think of it as the "Haiti Option." Back when Bill Clinton, president, restored Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1994, he did so under the — when he was deposed by a coup, he did so under the condition that Aristide would back off — would support and not roll back IMF and World Bank structural adjustment policies.
AMY GOODMAN: And also, I mean, Juan and I were there then in Haiti at that time, and President Clinton pressured Aristide, when he was out for three years of a five-year term, to accept that those three years would still be as if they were served, so he would only serve for two years —-
GREG GRANDIN: Yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: —- in case he didn't follow through on all those promises —-
GREG GRANDIN: Right.
AMY GOODMAN: —- he was making to the US. Juan?
JUAN GONZALEZ: I wanted to ask you, who is running Latin America policy for the Obama administration? Because, obviously, during the Bush administration, you had a group of extreme right-wing folks, like Otto Reich and others, who were actually defining or helping to do most of the legwork in terms of the policy. Who's doing it now for the Obama administration?
GREG GRANDIN: Yeah, I mean, Otto Reich and Roger Noriega and those people that were involved and implicated in the 2002 attempt to overthrow Chavez in Venezuela, they were largely discredited by the second Bush term, and then a more professionalized foreign policy service by Thomas Shannon, who was — Latin Americans felt was — whatever problems they may have had with him was a far cry from Otto Reich and Roger Noriega.
It's largely the same with Obama. There's a professionalized Foreign Service cadre. I think Thomas Shannon has a — Obama kept him on, but has just recently replaced him with Arturo Valenzuela, a kind of Foreign Service — Democratic Foreign Service diplomat who has served in the past in this post. So there are this level of careerists that —- what you see often in the Obama administration is Obama making very good pronouncements on any number of issues, whether it be at the Summit of the Americas or now around this coup, and then on-the-ground, second-level officials either hedging or being actually quite provocative, in the case of Venezuela. But that's another -—

Avoid Costly Voyages with Eco-Steaming & Weather Routing.
In the recent financial climate, eco-steaming has proven to be profitable while also being good for the environment. However, a shipping company must always be aware of the prevailing weather situation in relation to their fleet.
This article deals with a ship's route options while approaching Typhoon Bopha in December, 2012. The suffering attributed to the passage of Bopha was well documented in the news around the world. This late-season typhoon set numerous records for strength and destruction.
In the case studied here, a bulk carrier was taking the normal route from Japan to Indonesia, passing south of Mindanao. The vessel was sailing at eco-speed to save fuel and reduce in CO2 emissions. However, Bopha formed ESE of the Philippines during late November.
AWT closely monitored the progress of this storm and developed close communication with clients whose vessel might be affected by the storm. In this instance, a discussion was initiated with regards to increasing speed, stopping, or course adjustments for storm avoidance.
Speed increases have some merit, but come at the cost of increased consumption. Additionally, speed adjustments may have limited benefits. A speed increase of 1 knot will only move a ship further along the track by 24 NM/day. It would take 2.5 days of such a speed increase to make 60NM (1 degree of latitude). The non-linear relationship between speed and consumption might increase consumption some 20%-25% for this 7-9% increase in speed.
After discussion, it was agreed to recommend that the captain take an alternate course via Surigao Strait in the Philippines, with the addition of only about 20NM. After ensuring sufficient charts were on-board, the master concurred with the recommendation and the harmful effects of the storm were avoided.
If the vessel had stayed on its original path, she would have encountered typhoon force northerly, backing west-southwesterly conditions passing east of Mindanao with significant wave heights greater than 15 meters along the direct route. The ship would have been caught directly west of the storm, with nowhere to turn, as discussed above. In the image below, one can see 10 + meter waves extending more than 1 degree further to the south, so the 1 knot speed increase for 2-3 days might have lessened the ship's exposure to the worst conditions, but still exposed the ship to waves exceeding 10 meters in height.
It is calculated that a negligible 1.7 MT fuel oil was added to what would have been consumed along the shortest route. Alternatively, had the speed of the ship been increased along the shortest route, it is calculated that higher speed would have been required for at least two full days, with additional consumption of perhaps 15 MT IFO.
Therefore, the close communication between AWT and the shipping company enabled the company to save about 9,000 USD in this instance while ensuring safety of ship and crew. Conversely, the vessel might have lost about 2 days waiting for storm passage.
