Port privatisation: Running into rough weather?
T. R. Bhat
PORTS in India handle about 92-95 per cent of foreign trade and play a vital role in the national economy. The Ministry of Surface Transport (MoST) announced the policy of privatisation in the port sector in 1992. According to studies carried out by MoST, the total traffic to be handled by ports over the next 20 years is shown in the table. . Matching port facilities will have to be provided, both in major and minor ports. In 2000-01, the traffic handled by major and minor ports was 272 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) and 490 mtpa respectively. Due to the rapid changes foreseen in coming years, the share of major ports in the total traffic is expected change significantly, from 77 per cent in 2001-02 to 40 per cent in 2021-22 .
The expectation, thus, is that the minor ports, post-development, will handle about 60 per cent of the total traffic in about 20 years time. The capital investment required to create matching port facilities is indicated in the table. Naturally, most of this capital investment must come from the private sector. Does the private sector get the support and guidance from the Government departments and ports to reach the above investment targets?
The answer is No. In spite of the policy of liberalisation, the bureaucratic mindset of those at the Government and the port levels is yet to change.
Lack of professional management: In spite of repeated recommendations by the such bodies as World Bank and Asian Development Bank and Parliamentary Committees for the introduction of professional management in ports, most major ports are administered by IAS officers.
These officials are posted as Chairman/Deputy Chairman of a major port for a fixed time of three to four years.
They do not have any port experience.During their stints they administer the ports as per the rules and. regulations approved by the Government.
Mindset of bureaucracy: The first and most important reason for the slow progress of port privatisation is the rigid mindset of the bureaucracy, both at the port and the Government levels, due to lack of professional management. Private investors who come forward to invest in a port project are viewed with suspicion and are harassed by queries at every level.
Rigid rules and regulations: The second factor militating against privatisation is the inflexibility in rules and regulations. Given the rapidly changing economic environment, the guidelines also require periodic modifications.
But all guidelines and agreement forms are rigid and any change requires the approval of higher authorities which may take time.
The Government policies on licensing, excise duties and tax structures change from year to year, and the industrial sector suffers due to these changes, if matching changes are not made in the agreements.
Private ports are in a better position to negotiate and attract new cargo traffic compared to government-owned ports. Restructuring of port trust boards: At present, the major port trust boards have 18-19 trustees, consisting of government nominees, political appointees, representation from user organisations and companies, labour trustees, and so on, apart from the Chairman and Deputy Chairman. Unless the boards are made up of a smaller number of professional trustees/directors, productivity and efficiency will suffer.
Other factors: Private investors also face a number of other difficulties in trying to gain a stake in major ports. These include:
The frequent changes in Government, guidelines and regulations affect the time schedule and viability of a project. TAMP: It is a welcome sign that the Government has appointed the Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP), which investigates and hears various problems and complaints received from the private parties independently. But the decisions given by TAMP are again challenged.
This has negatived the very purpose of formation of TAMP.
To achieve the target of creating additional port facilities in the coming years, it is essential that:
The bureaucracy at port and Government level changes its attitude and treats the private sector as a partner in port development.
The guidelines and agreement formats are modified to suit the ground realities and changed circumstances.
Witch-hunting and harassing of port officers and private agencies is stopped.
Quick clearances are facilitated by simplifying procedures and guidelines.
Professional management is introduced in ports.
It is hoped that the ports and the government departments will rise to the occasion and achieve the targets of capacity expansion without any cost or time overruns.

This low budget (and lowbrow) romantic comedy is best known for launching the film career of Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx. The film is about a guy trying to christen his new relationship with a first night of sex, and it features future stars like Bernie Mac and Vivica A. Fox. On the film's 16th anniversary, here's a look at the cast who helped push the street term for a late-night search for fornication into the American vocabulary.

Oasis is a generously size (1450 sq. ft.) oceanfront alternative to the relatively small hotel rooms at the Ritz. Unlike the Ritz, Oasis has a living room, 2 oceanfront verandahs, fully equipped kitchen, 2 private master suites and an oversized jacuzzi tub with his and her showers, his and her granite top vanities and a second bathroom with tub and shower.
Cool off in one of our resort's crystal clear pools. Tennis anyone? There are 4 clay courts on the grounds and a professional tennis pro to help you get into the swing.
Head out for a round of golf on the award winning neighboring courses. Perhaps just sit back, relax and gaze out the windows to watch the dolphins play and the horses stride gracefully along the beach.
Pamper yourself on a king-sized, pillow top mattress that will rock you to sleep in-between luxurious, Egyptian cotton sheets. Both the King and Queen master suites have their own full bathrooms complimented by granite countertops, new commodes and custom-made cabinetry.
We paid attention to every detail. The recessed lighting can be dimmed to create that romantic mood, while the remote controlled ceiling fans and lights can be operated from the comfort of your beds.
Oasis offers substantial upgrades, uncommon to vacation rentals. Enjoy the gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops imported from Spain. The kitchen also offers a spectacular coastline view so that the chefs in the family can look upon ocean for their culinary inspiration.
There is an assortment of kitchen small appliances including: food processor, waffle maker, J.A. Henckels Knives, wok, rice maker, blender, mixer, hot and iced tea maker, automatic juicer, Keurig Brewing System, coffee grinder and conventional coffee maker etc. to enhance your culinary adventures.
Perhaps you would enjoy exploring the unspoiled beauty of Amelia Island State Park, home to many rare wild birds and some of the best fishing grounds in Florida. Cast your line off of the park's mile long, pedestrian only bridge which straddles Nassau Sound.
Saddle up and ride along the beach atop the gentle, well-trained horses from the park's own Seahorse Ranch; one of the few places in the country where you can experience the romance of horseback riding on the beach all year long.
Beyond the beach, Amelia Island is renowned for its beautiful greens. For the golf enthusiast, you may wish to book your tee time at the Fernandina Beach Golf Club which offers 27 of Florida's finest holes and a full-service clubhouse and restaurant.
Are you fatigued by the typical vacation rental that has signs of wear and tear, poor maintenance and partial ocean views? Isn't it time that your hard earned dollars went further and rewarded you with a truly restorative vacation? If so, welcome to our well loved, well appointed Amelia Island Oasis. You deserve it.
You can book your reservation online simply by entering your check-in and check-out dates on the top righthand side of this page, right above the yellow "Book It" button.
Your payment will include a partially refundable $200 security deposit from which we retain $110 to cover your cleaning fee. The refundable portion of your security deposit will be returned to you per your reservation agreement which you can review after clicking the "Continue to Booking" button.
You can also use the "Book It" button to just get a quote that details the applicable rate, tax and partially refundable security deposit for your specific dates.
We have more reservation requests than we can accommodate in our 6 Amelia Island oceanfront condos. During periods of peak demand, weekly stays checking in on a Saturday (sometimes Sunday) get preference over shorter stays.
If you need a quicker response, please include your phone number in your inquiry. We are doing our best to keep pace with the volume of inquiries we receive daily.
Those inquiries that include a phone number will hear back from us earlier than those that do not, as our inboxes are flooded daily with reservation requests. Unfortunately our calendaring system cannot keep up with bookings either; and therefore does not reflect actual availability. We are hoping to remedy this issue soon.
If you have any questions about Oasis or any of our other oceanfront properties, which you can view at www.ameliaislandoasis.com; please give us a call at 904-321-7276.
We offer three 2 bedroom/2 bathroom oceanfront penthouses called: Oasis (this one), Coastal Haven (next to door to Oasis) and Ocean Lullaby (in the neighboring building). We also offer a 5th floor 2 bedroom/2 bathroom oceanfront condo called Shoreline.
Seaview and Beach Retreat are our 4th and 3rd floor 1 bedroom/1 bathroom condos. There is a tab at the top of our expanded website, www.ameliaislandoasis.com, for each one of these 6 condos which are all collocated at the same resort. Thank you for your interest in our well loved and well maintained oceanfront condos. We look forward to welcoming you to Amelia Island.

We wanted to be right on the beach and enjoy panoramic ocean views from every room. We wanted to hear the waves from the penthouse, smell the fresh ocean air, feel the ocean breezes in the living room, bedrooms - all the rooms, all the time. We wanted a place where the world would stop spinning and simply slow down so we could reflect on its beauty.
We couldn't find it, so we created it by completely remodeling the penthouse from floor to ceiling to create a true Oceanfront Oasis. We experience a special vicarious enjoyment by sharing it with our guests. Welcome to our Amelia Island Oasis. May you leave restored, refreshed and happy.
The ocean views are spectacular! You can't get any closer to the shoreline unless you are prepared to get wet. Nobody is above you. You are on top of the world and its splendor is on full display from nearly every room in the penthouse.
The oversized jacuzzi tub with its spectacular ocean view is the cure for all that ails you. It can be enjoyed alone; however when two share it, the pleasure doubles. The spa-quality bath also has his/her showers, his/her granite vanities, top-of-line front loading washer and dryer so you can pack light.
The kitchen is equipped for the gourmet chef with all manner of high-end appliances, large and small. It also takes advantage of that spectacular coastline view.
You will want for nothing as the big screen HDTVs, high speed Wifi, DVD, CD and iPod players will keep you entertained and enjoying all the comforts of home at our Amelia Island Oasis.
This villa is what you are looking for. We had a wonderful time in this villa. It has more comforts than you can dream of.
It was a joy to watch the dolphin parade each morning. We even found a sharks tooth. A must for restaurants: Brett's and Baxter's. Of course, for your sweet tooth it is Gourmet Gourmet. You need to try Larry's Subs on 14th - best ever!! Be sure and visit the Historic District. The Books Plus bookstore is charming. If you seek pampering visit the full body salon called Magna's on Center St. in the Historic District. We had a wonderful 35th anniversary.
If you are looking for a great villa, look no further. Brigid was wonderful to work with, along with Raylene, her property manager. You will certainly be pampered. ENJOY!
Cookeville, TN
We had a fabulous stay at your beautiful condo on Amelia Island. I must commend you on having one of the best rental properties that we have ever stayed at. We have stayed all around the world in many places and yours was one of the tops!
We also enjoyed Fernandina Beach and the downtown area quite a bit. I had never been to this area before, I found it fascinating. I love history and also different styles of architecture. We definitely will be back to this area again. Thanks again for such a wonderful stay at your penthouse retreat.
Joyce, Doug and Shelby
Loved the views! The kitchen was well equipped and the owners supplied our every need. Couldn't ask for more.
The pictures are deceiving. We expected to have a wonderful stay in a beautiful property, but this is what we found:
1. There was a major draft from a window in the living room. Most nights, it was freezing in the room and the wind howled through the draft. When we contacted management, we were given a space heater and told that the windows will be replaced soon. However, this did not matter to us, as we are not coming back!
2. The a/c and heat unit shut off in the middle night. It was set on automatic and we could not adjust it, although we were told it was possible. When we arrived, it was very warm out both day and night. Being January, after a couple days of rain, the temperature dropped significantly. We had no way to regulate the temperature inside the condo. We woke up in the middle of our first night because the a/c shut off although it was hot outside. After the temperature dropped, the heat was insufficient because of the draft in the living room.
3. The blinds in the master bedroom did not close. We were told that they are also scheduled to be replaced soon. Again, this was irrelevant to us.
4. The hot water in the showers was a light trickle. Management did not respond when we asked about this.
5. The dishwasher did not work. They called someone to repair it and it worked for one cycle and then stopped working again.
The manager's assistant, Sherry, tried her best to help us with all of the above and was lovely to work with. Unfortunately, this condo simply should not have been rented in this condition.
My wife and I traveled to Amelia Island to celebrate her birthday. We were thrilled with the entire process of the Penthouse itself with every amenity we could have hoped for as well as the attention to detail of the management of this unit. We are originally from New England and had missed the pounding Atlantic surf which was visible from every room in this beautiful condo. The downtown area was a real plus as well with great restaurants and shops. We will definitely be back and stay a bit longer next time. I loved it.
My family and I enjoyed the penthouse. The views of the beach were awesome and the property was clean and well equipped. I will definitely recommend this property to my friends and hope to return in the future.
We have been vacationing on Amelia for 25 years. We have stayed at every resort and vacation rental complex along the coastline. This penthouse is by far the most Beautiful, well kept property on the island; truly an Oasis. The ocean views are SPECTACULAR from every room.
Clearly the owners pay close attention to all the details, small and large. The linens, furnishings, beach equipment, appliances, HDTVs and decor are all top notch. The local Property Manager is a delight. The whole experience was splendid.
We loved watching the dolphins play in the waves from our verandahs, living room and beds. I have never slept so well, drifting into deep slumber ushered in by the soothing sounds of the waves rolling along the coastline.
Our only wish is that the penthouse had more availability as it was hard to find an open week. Please set aside the week of June 16th for our return visit. Better yet, can we just stay here for the rest of our lives?
Thank You for our best Amelia Island vacation ever!
The Kennedys
Amelia Island is home to one of the top ten beaches in the nation. It is on the southern end of the beach where you will find our oceanfront condo which is ideally situated to provide beautiful views of the coastline.
Saddle up and ride along the beach atop the gentle, well-trained horses from Amelia Island's own Seahorse Ranch, one of the few places in the country where you can experience the romance of horseback riding on the beach - everyday - all year long.
The island hosts several fun, annual events including: numerous golf tournaments, Bausch & Lomb Women's Tennis Championship, Annual Shrimp Festival and Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, the famous car show hosted by the Ritz.
The neighboring state parks of Big and Little Talbot islands are nesting grounds for a wide variety of rare birds. Amelia Island State Park features a mile long, pedestrian only bridge which straddles Nassau Sound and is home to some of the best fishing grounds in Florida.
Boutique Shopping, Fine Dining, Water-slide, Children's Play Park, Yoga on the beach, Jacksonville Zoo, Gambling Boat Dinner Cruises, Fort Clinch State Park complete with full dress re-enactments of the Civil War, Horse & carriage tours in the historic district, Spa Treatments, Charter fishing trips and plane rides, Kayaking around Cumberland and Talbot islands or right outside the condo where you can enjoy the company of dolphins and sea turtles.
Amelia is also home to some Florida's finest golf courses. The Fernandina Beach Golf Club, offering 27 holes; has been rated three and a half stars by Golf Digest, making it amongst the best public courses in the country.
Amelia Island is becoming a true golfer's haven, offering many choices of championship-quality courses. Not to mention Amelia's 13-miles of gorgeous beachfront, resort amenities plus a quaint historic district of restaurants and boutiques reminiscent of of the late 19th century period. Amelia is conveniently located only 25 minutes from the Jacksonville International airport.

Progress Report 7-7-11
Tonight I started stripping both the new donor bike as well as my regular ride. This allowed me to start test fitting the pieces to see what will and won't work. The Works Performance shocks will definitely fit, and although they are sprung for a much heavier rider, it looks as though the SW springs might fit and would be a little softer. The nicer seat went right on, but the CV carbs interfere with the forward edges of the hand made side panels. Since I am considering changing to the slide type carbs that may not be an issue. The exhaust should go right on, but I want to get new exhaust port gaskets before bolting these on. I think after I get everything test fit and decide exactly what to use, I will tear it all down and give it a good cleaning before final reassembly. Still pondering whether to continue on with the "barn fresh" look, or go ahead with some fresh paint and detailing.
On another note, I did talk to PNW AHRMA rep Randy Skiver today, to see what will or won't be legal to use and determined that the TT500 rear wheel is too new to use. Other than that, the only other real issue is to check travel front and rear and make sure it does not exceed 4" rear and 7" front.

If one looks at marriage, the only socially sanctioned human-coupling institution with love and permanence as an avowed goal, it will be clear that religion, class, caste, ethnicity, language or a combination of these factors matter in most instances. Of course, fringe creatures born out of contemporary urban rootlessness scoff at such societies and celebrate 'alternative' and 'radical' modes of 'liberated' companionship. Whether it is the idea of love as espoused by society or by its self-styled 'radical' and voluntary outcastes, it does not run blind, in most cases. Some may dislike this state of affairs for whatever private preferences, but this is how it is for society-at-large. The coupling patterns of the so-called rebels and radicals also bear out the same private prejudices, their shrill public radicalism notwithstanding. White men and women born in Christian families, whose lives, ideals, cultures, artifacts and philosophies inspire certain brown urban yuppies and radicals alike, mostly marry white people from Christian families. Let's not take shelter in fashionably 'cosmopolitan' fantasies and pretend that it is otherwise. Undermining/undercounting the majority and valourising/overcounting the minority is a tactic straight out of the playbook of the fox without a tail.
Most people marry people from their own family religion. 'Love Jihad' is a phenomenon where Muslim men allegedly target non-Muslims women to romance, rape, kidnap, marry or do all of this with the objective of conversion to Islam or dishonouring non-Islamic women. While this is a common occurrence in Pakistan (especially in Sindh), in the Indian Union, sporadic allegations have come from Kerala, Karnataka and more recently Uttar Pradesh. Probes found no clear evidence that such a thing was happening. Nothing legally prevents men and women, Hindu and Muslim, to romance, convert and marry. One can't speculate about covert intentions of preying on a woman of a different religious background. However, cases of deception (a man feigning to be from the woman's religion) do point to unholy intentions. But individual instances of criminal deception do not prove or disprove the existence of a wider phenomenon. When information is wanting, rhetoric, rumour and prejudice rule the roost. That is the dangerous game that is being played now.
In the Indian Union, where a single man is technically free to marry any single woman, the number of Hindu man — Muslim woman marriages should be roughly equal to the number of Muslim man — Hindu woman marriages. This pattern should hold at the state-level and at the district level. If the data shows one kind of pairing to be far commoner than the other, it may be the hint of something wider. One wonders why no comprehensive data exists for this — given the explosive political potency that this issue is assuming. It's irresponsible to confirm or deny the existence of a phenomenon without substantive data.
Muslims have regularly been targeted with 'Hum Paanch, Humare Pachchees' type of propaganda, a reference to the legal sanction of Muslim polygamy. However, last available census data on polygamy incidence shows that the proportion of Hindus practising bigamy (5.8%) was marginally more than Muslims (5.7%). A 1974 survey returned roughly similar numbers (5.8% for savarna Hindus and 5.6% for Muslims). Similarly, the fashionable and indiscriminate maligning of all Kulin Brahmins for their erstwhile abhorrent practice of boundless polygamy needs to be tempered by mathematical limits. A male-heavy sex ratio in a society with strict endogamy and rampant female foeticide could have made polygamy possible only for a miniscule proportion of Kulins. Understating and overstating incidences are equally criminal. We sorely need data about love in these times of an alleged jihad.

Minutes of Fed policy meeting show sharp divisions
Unless the economic data significantly worsen in July and August, "it seems like most Fed officials expect tapering to begin in September," she said.
Employers added 195,000 jobs in June, and revisions showed that an additional 70,000 jobs were added in the previous two months. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 7.6 percent.
Fed members also struggled at last month's meeting over how best to convey the Fed's thinking about its timetable for bond purchases, the minutes showed.
Some wanted to explain it in the post-meeting statement. Others felt the statement might be misinterpreted. In the end, most participants thought Bernanke should lay out the Fed's thinking in his news conference - and stress that any pullback in bond purchases would depend on the economic outlook.
Bernanke stressed at the news conference last month that if the economy weakens, the Fed wouldn't hesitate to step up its bond purchases again. Still, stocks and bonds plunged after his remarks, and interest rates surged.
Several Fed members helped steady stock markets in the days that followed by noting that any pullback in bond buying would hinge on the economy's health, not a target date. Stocks have since regained most of their losses, in part because of encouraging data about the job market and corporate earnings.
Ultra-low rates have encouraged more Americans to buy homes and cars, helped support the economy and cheered the stock market. Investors worried that once the Fed starts scaling back its bond buying, home loans would start to cost more, corporations would pay more to borrow and bond investors would be squeezed.
But steady job gains have raised the likelihood that the Fed will announce after its September meeting that it's reducing its bond purchases.
Still, economic growth has been subpar. The economy grew at an annual rate of just 1.8 percent in the January-March quarter. Economists think growth stayed below a 2 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter. If so, it would mark a third straight quarter of weak growth.
Most think growth will pick up in the second half of the year but stay around 2 percent for the year.
The Fed's forecasts are rosier: It predicts growth of 2.3 percent to 2.6 percent this year and more than 3 percent in 2014. It also expects unemployment to fall as low as 7.2 percent by the end of this year and as low as 6.5 percent by the end of 2014.
Many analysts think the Fed could begin slowing its bond purchases from $85 billion a month to around $65 billion in September and gradually shrink them before ending them by next summer. That would likely happen, though, only if the job market and the economy continued to strengthen. Bernanke has said the bond-buying would end when the unemployment rate would be around 7 percent. It's now 7.6 percent.
But even when it curtails the purchases, the Fed will continue to provide support for the economy. For one thing, it plans to keep its investment holdings constant to avoid causing long-term rates to rise too quickly. It also plans to keep short-term rates at record lows at least until unemployment slides to 6.5 percent.
And Bernanke has said 6.5 percent unemployment is a threshold, not a trigger: The Fed might decide to keep its benchmark short-term rate near zero even after unemployment falls that low.

Let's see, what do you need/want to know about...
Let's see, what do you need/want to know about me? - I'm open/honest to a fault. - I'm one of the top ten huggers on Earth. - I am told by at least one person a week that I look familiar. - I'm not sarcastic at all. Not one little bit. Nope, not me. :) - Flakiness is my biggest pet peeve. - I like doing spur of the moment things like heading on a last minute road trip to Vegas, Palm Springs or Santa Barbara, but don't need to be "doing something" to have fun. I'm happy pulling questions out of a hat and answering them in turn or running errands. It wouldn't hurt to have drinks in hand at some point whilst doing so, but that's not required. - Almost anything with a group of friends is likely to draw me in. - It's sounds cliche, but I DO want to find my best friend. - I believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that's why it can, and should, be eaten at any time. Obviously this means brunch is high on my list of favorite activities - of course bottomless champagne might have something to do with that as well. - I am one of the silliest people I know and have a major appreciation for the cheesiest of jokes. - I am a fountain of useless information. Well, useless outside the confines of a trivia game. - I don't have a favorite type of music because it changes according to my mood and/or what I'm doing. - I take at least 2 road trips a year. Could be to see sporting events, could be because I want to go to a particular restaurant in SF or NYC. That's what frequent flyer points are for... - I NEED sunlight. I can feel my mood changing based on how much I've been exposed to over a set of days. Hence me never being able to live in the Pacific Northwest or the East Coast. - I have a super flexible schedule that enables me to work from anywhere if need be enabling those trips I mentioned earlier. - I don't have kids...yet. Yes, it's possible that there is a successful, never married, occasionally said to be attractive, single male who doesn't have children out here in the world. I might be a damn unicorn, but I exist. - I actually like chick flicks. Girl movies, no. Chick flicks, yes. - One of my favorite things in the world is a night out with friends when you don't even realize there are other people around because you are laughing so hard at things that probably make sense to no one else. - I give great gifts. AKA I pay attention all year long, not just before birthdays and early December. - Very few things make me as happy as "I miss you" or "thinking about you" text messages. - I'm not here to date around, I've had plenty of time to do that. Now it's time to find someone to conquer the world with for the next few decades. If you're wondering whether we'd click or not, here's a description of who I'm looking to find: You have style and love to show it off. You are intelligent, funny, sexy and lovable. You are able to have fun doing anything from playing board games to sitting around watching TV. You are willing to drop everything to pursue an idea that just popped into your (or my) head, sometimes not even knowing where we are headed. You are able to enjoy both the finer things in life and the little things that make life fun. Your smile makes me weak in the knees and the right look renders me helpless to resist you. But beyond all of that, every conversation we have makes you more beautiful to me. Is that too much to ask for? I guess we'll find out. :)

Bruscato's Restaurant Review: Some places are known for subs, others for pizza and yet others for paninis. Bruscato's, however, does them all well. Subs topped with the sensational house-made olive oil/oregano dressing is memorable. And if you're interested in a midweek picnic, you're just a block away from Oronoco Park on the banks of the Potomac. Tucked in among the office buildings, Bruscato's does a brisk lunch business with regular customers, so be prepared for a wait if you visit at prime time.

Council recalls clearance given for diaper TV ad that spoofed 'Battle of Mactan'
popular .
CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Ad Standards Council (ASC) has recalled the clearance given for the airing of a TV commercial for a diaper, which had spoofed the Battle of Mactan as having been triggered by the gift of low quality diapers.
In a letter addressed to Jones Campos, executive director of the Advertising Board of the Philippines (Adboard), ASC executive director Mila Marquez said they have recalled the clearance to air the TV commercial after the National Historical Commission issued on Friday a cease and desist order against the EQ diaper commercial.
The commercial showed "Ferdinand Magellan" gifting "chieftain Lapu-Lapu" with a boxful of diapers for his child. But "Lapu-Lapu's wife" prevented him from accepting the gift because it was of low quality and said she preferred using EQ.
Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Paz Radaza earlier complained that the commercial was "distorting the history of the country."
Radaza also asked the distributor of the diaper, JS Unitrade, to make a public apology and to stop airing the commercial.
An online petition was also started asking the distributor to stop airing the commercial. The Lapu-Lapu City government will commemorate the Battle of Mactan with a reenactment on April 27.
Marquez said the ASC would provide a copy of the recall letter to the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas and GMA Network.
The Philippine Association of National Advertisers (Pana) would also be given a copy of the letter so they could advise the advertiser about Lapu-Lapu City's demand for apology, she added.

Chip's Challenge spiritual successor coming to Steam
Yesterday on 11/12/13 Chuck's Challenge 3D was Greenlit by the Steam Community. Chuck's Challenge 3D is designed by Chuck Sommerville the creator of Chip's Challenge.
Chuck's Challenge 3D is a puzzle game that walks the player through the evolution of gaming: move from A
to B, collect items, the red key opens the red door, and much more. But, like Lego, knowing what each piece does is only the beginning of the fun, as players can also create and share their own levels using a simple paint-style interface and seamless cloud storage.
Play Mode Video - Youtu.be
"Over the last couple of years we've been creating a 3D puzzle game based on my original design and over two decades of player feedback," Chuck Sommerville said. "Chuck's Challenge 3D mixes the new with the old. We've the original Chip's Challenge team designing levels, along with cloud gaming improvements that
let anyone create & share their own content."
Initially Chuck's Challenge 3D seems to be about playing through a series of puzzles. But actually it's about learning the mechanics of game play, so slowly the player can become the creator, making the game more than just passive experience, but a creative one as well.
We think coding is important, but it's not necessary the best entry point for everyone who wants to learn how to
make video games. Too often we hear people telling potential game designers or young kids to get into gaming they must learn how to code first.
That's why we've created a paint style interface that allows anyone to make complex logic puzzle, skill dodging
levels or just simple fun mazes, so that they can get a taste quickly of what it's like to be a game designer, by seeing their ideas coming to life. We hope our game is a stepping-stone that attracts new talent to the games industry, by giving people the tools to create games and then the thirst to expand on what they have learned.
Create Mode Video - Youtu.be
Chuck's Challenge 3D is due to be released soon on Steam for PC, Mac & Linux:
How to save the configuration? It always asked for configuration every time the game start.
This is something we are hoping to include in an update.
Hey, congratulations on being Greenlit on Steam! Please remember the Desura folks who believed in you guys :-)
The demo is internet-dependant (needs an internet access to run).
Is is the case of the full version as well ?
It shouldn't be. Are you sure your demo will not run without the internet?
It ask for a connection to a 220.127.116.11 TCP server.
If refused, the menu never appears ; we keep seing the blue monster (Chuck ?) and the uni-eyed red one waiting and waiting ...
OK we think we know what's happening and we'll get a fix for that in the next update.
Do you think it has been fixed now ?
Cool, this was Kickstarted, wasn't it? Thanks for the Linux version :-)

Everything we needed...and more, with a great view
Rising from the ashes of the Phoeni heat.
Mark and Ruby's house sits on a hill overlooking Payson town, with views of the rim to the north. It was quiet, with only preserve behind us and a few neighborhood houses on the quiet lane.
The upper part of the house, which was ours for the few days, is just superb. It is spacious, very well decorated and furnished. 2 lovely bedrooms and bathrooms.
Also a great kitchen, with everything you can imagine in it. In fact the whole apartment is clean, cosy, and far better than getting a hotel. We enjoyed eating and drinking out on the small deck, getting cool mountain air.
For anyone wanting to be close to Payson, but not deep in the middle of a forrest, but still be close enough to the areas of beauty and walking/fishing etc Iw ould thoroughly endorse this rental.
Ruby and Mark were very easy to deal with as well, and we enjoyed meeting them.
Activity and Interests
Close to Payson and Pine for Great dining choices, entertainment and shopping.
Hiking, fishing, swimming and Casino are close by.
Explore the Mogollon Rim, Natural Bridge and beautiful lakes.

Ruby Lu, Empress of Everything (Ruby Lu (Hardback))
Title: Ruby Lu, Empress of Everything (Ruby Lu (Hardback))
Author: Lenore Look
KDL Description:
After Ruby Lu's deaf cousin, Flying Duck, and her parents come from China to live with her, Ruby finds life challenging as she adjusts to her new family, tries to mend her rocky relationship with her friend Emma, and faces various adventures in summer school.
Amazon Description:
When Ruby's cousin Flying Duck emigrates from China to live with her, Ruby decides the best thing about Flying Duck is that she is a great new friend. BUT the worst thing about Flying Duck is that now, no one speaks English at home. Plus, there's strange food on the table every night and only chopsticks to eat it with. And Flying Duck is deaf, and Ruby doesn't know any Chinese Sign Language.
As if that weren't enough, this summer proves to be even more perilous as Ruby faces the dangers of swimming lessons, the joys of summer school, the difficulty of staying with a twelve-step program, the miracle needed to keep a beautiful stray dog that wanders into her life, and much more. Is it all too much for anyone—even the Empress of Everything—to handle?

Cole Hamels, Phillies shut out Braves 3-0
ATLANTA Shane Victorino didn't want to say he finally figured out a way to hit Derek Lowe.
That's OK. His manager said it for him.
Cole Hamels combined with two relievers on a five-hitter and Victorino capped a big series with three hits, including his first homer, to lead the Philadelphia Phillies past the Atlanta Braves 3-0 on Sunday.
Each of Victorino's three hits came off Lowe. Entering the day, the switch-hitter was 2 for 24 in his career against the right-hander, according to STATS LLC.
"Shane did real good," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "He figured out Lowe a little bit."
With Lowe attacking the outside part of the plate, Victorino went the other way for singles to left field in the first and fourth innings. When Lowe came inside, Victorino turned on the pitch for a homer to right field in the sixth.
Victorino has five straight multihit games, including four hits in the Phillies' 10-2 win over the Braves on Saturday. He had nine hits, three RBIs and two steals as the Phillies took two of three in the series.
Victorino hasn't forgotten his past struggles against Lowe.
"I wouldn't say I figured him out," Victorino said. "Today was one of those days. ... I was able to stay on it longer than I usually do and slap it the other way."
Victorino is hitting .417 through 10 games.
Hamels (1-1) gave up four hits with one walk and eight strikeouts in seven innings.
"He put it to us," said Atlanta's Dan Uggla, who was 0 for 4.
Lowe (1-2) was almost as strong. The right-hander allowed seven hits and two runs in seven innings.
Lowe said he had "a good game plan but terrible execution" against Victorino and the Phillies.
"I got outpitched," Lowe said.
Hamels rebounded after giving up seven hits and six runs in 2 2-3 innings of a 7-1 home loss to the New York Mets on Tuesday. It was the shortest season-opening start of his career, and he heard boos from the Philadelphia fans.
"I've been booed many times," Hamels said. "It's part of the game. You just go with it.
"If you get that response, it's the understanding that people know that you're good. They expect you to do well and when you don't, they're disappointed."
Hamels met those expectations against the Braves.
"I kept the ball low and I think that's a good-hitting team and I was able to make them kind of make mistakes," he said. "I got the key groundouts and a few good popouts."
Manuel said Hamels was motivated by his poor opening game.
"He was ready to go today," Manuel said. "He was definitely ready to pitch. He did a heck of a job. It was hot out there."
Ryan Madson pitched the eighth and Jose Contreras worked a perfect ninth for his second save.
Victorino singled and scored from third in the fourth when Jimmy Rollins hit into a double play. Victorino's homer into the right-field seats to lead off the sixth increased the lead to 2-0.
