Photo by Mark Demayo for ABS-CBNnews.com MANILA - Forty-five years after Gloria Diaz' Miss Universe win, another Diaz beauty is hoping to bring home the same crown to the Philippines. Joy Antonette Diaz, whose grandfather is a cousin of Gloria, is candidate No. 9 in this year's Binibining Pilipinas, the national pageant that has been sending the country's representatives to Miss Universe since 1964. While she has yet to speak personally with Gloria, the 22-year-old beauty queen hopeful said her entire family has been supportive of her bid to follow in the screen veteran's footsteps. But Joy, who is representing Dagupan in the 51st Binibining Pilipinas, is also careful not be identified only with the accomplishments of the famous Diaz. "They're very supportive of me, of course," she told ABS-CBN News' Mario Dumaual, referring to the Diaz clan. "But whoever I'm related to or not, this was my dream, obviously. It doesn't matter." "They said for me to shine on my own, to show the world who I am and what I can offer them despite whatever last name I may have, [I have to show them that] it's me," she said. Not out to be 'prettiest' Joy Antonette Diaz in Jag and her national costume. Photos courtesy of Binibining Pilipinas A political science graduate from the University of California, Joy is an aspiring lawyer who identifies helping the less fortunate as her passion. Asked why she should win Binibining Pilipinas and eventually represent the Philippines in Miss Universe, Joy was quick to answer that she "didn't join this pageant because I wanted to be the prettiest girl in the world." "I really wanted to use the title of whatever crown that I win to make a difference in this world, to really reach out to those who aren't as [fortuante]," she said. Joy added: "Especially growing up in the States, I want to reach out to people, I want to help other people. I want to dedicate my life to humanitarian work. This is kind of like the outlet of doing that, I think." Aside from handing out the Miss Universe-Philippines title, Binibing Pilipinas crowns the country's representatives to Miss International, Miss Supranational, and Miss Tourism Queen International. Joy's batch of candidates follows a highly successful year for Binibining Pilipinas, whose top four winners finished with titles or as a finalist in their respective international pageants. Notably, Bea Santiago and Mutya Datul won Miss International and Miss Suprnational, respectively. Ariella Arida, whose last three predecessors placed in the top five of Miss Universe, finished 3rd runner-up in last year's competition. With less than a month away before the Binibining Pilipinas coronation night -- it will be held on March 30 with live telecast on ABS-CBN -- Joy enjoys being an "early favorite" among the 40 candidates. "I think it's really humbling, actually," she said. "I think we all came into this pageant just trying to offer the best that we can be. They always tell us to not be competitive amongst the girls, but to still give your best. So to be a favorite, [I feel] honored."

Houstoned Theatre Presents: Students, Sweatshops and, um, a Gigantic Telephone
For the second time, activists from University of Houston Students Against Sweatshops stormed President Renu Khator's office to demand she sign the Designated Suppliers Program, which would help protect the rights of workers who manufacture University apparel. And for the second time, Khator was not in her office, but this time the group had a giant, cardboard cutout of a phone receiver. The following is Houstoned Theatre's Simpsons-inspired take on what probably went down.
Students: (Ring bell.)
Khator's Secretary: Who is it?
Students: An angry mob.

Khator's Secretary: Do you have an appointment?
Student #1: Umm, no. But we have a giant cardboard cutout of a telephone receiver.
Khator's Secretary: Why?
Students: Because it's time for Khator to answer the call!
Khator's Secretary: But you didn't call. If you did, you would've known she wasn't in the office today … again.
Student #2: I told you we should've called ahead this time.
Khator's Secretary: I guess you could try again later.
Student #1: But what do we do with this giant phone?
Khator's Secretary: I don't know, maybe you could use it to advertise a telethon.
Student #3: Or use it in our upcoming protest against communication mergers.
Khator's Secretary: Yeah, you could make a list – you could write them on the back of the phone!
Students begin writing down ideas for phone cutout use on back of cutout.
Enter Khator.
Students: Sign the DSP! (Hold up telephone cutout.)
Khator: What's the DSP?
Students: The Designated Supplies Program.
Khator: Is that it? (Points to telephone cutout.)
Student #3: No, this is a telephone cutout.
Khator: Huh?
Students: It's time for you to answer the call!
Khator: Wait, I thought I had to sign something, now I have to answer a call?
Student #1: No, you would answer the call by signing the DSP.
Khator: Oh, well, can I keep the cutout as a reminder?
Student #1: Is that on the list?
Student #2: Um …(Scans list.) No.
Student #1: I'm sorry, we can't.

The EFF Gets a Blog
It didn't take long for Cory Doctorow to make his latest career move--literally. As of Thursday, April 4, the Electronic Frontier Foundation's new Outreach Director began presiding over Consensus at Lawyerpoint, a weblog with the tagline "Being a true account of the undertakings of the Broadcast Protection Discussion Group". Cory explains:
This is a radical departure from the way it's usually done. Usually, bright nerds invent something cool and the entertainment industry has a nervous breakdown and runs around telling everyone that the sky is falling. (Marconi got sued over the radio; Sony got sued over the VCR...)
This time around, the entertainment industry wants to take away all that sloppy, inefficient fooling around where technology companies try out lots of different approaches, where garage inventors go from obscurity to posterity under a hail of customers, where you and I get to invent amazing new uses for our stuff that a bunch of engineers in a board-room never would've thought of in a million years. This time around, everything not forbidden is mandatory.
As with everything else the EFF does, Consensus at Lawyerpoint helps us save the Internet's commons from the self-righteous paranoids whose unseen hands operate congressional sock puppets like South Carolina's Fritz Hollings, (prime author of the CBDTPA, which the lawyerly end of EFF officially follows here). In his own blog, Cory calls Hollings' bill the Anti-Mammal Dinosaur Protection Act.

Re: The EFF Gets a Blog
They're using non-free BLOG software, and it displays for sh*t on Linux Netscape. Sigh.
Re: The EFF Gets a Blog
EFF is a non-profit.
Movable Type 2.0 is free for personal and non-commercial use.
Cost doesn't enter the picture
> Movable Type 2.0 is free for personal and non-commercial use.
The software has a zero price in that circumstance, but it doesn't alter the fact that there's almost no freedom associated with it. The user is not free to examine, copy, modify, redistribute the software; hence it is non-free.
There's plenty of free software that provides the same function. A civil liberties organisation failing to use software that promotes civil liberties is cause for complaint.
Re: The EFF Gets a Blog

God forbid that anyone make a dime on software development! It's wrong to ask for compensation for the fruits of your labor!
Sorry Sparky, but we're not all 1> college students 2> developing open software with corporate sponsorship (ie, your job is paying you to do this). 3> Chairman RMS.
Sure, it would be great if the fantasy world that the opensource community lived in up until 2000 was real, but it's not. This is a successful company that will be making software well into the future. This is one that bet it's business on open source and is almost dead.
Incidentally, my memory is not the greatest, but when has the EFF ever outright condemed commercial software?
Fscking zealot.
"Non-free" here means "lacking freedom", not "zero price"
> God forbid that anyone make a dime on software
> development! It's wrong to ask for compensation for the
> fruits of your labor!
"Non-free software" has nothing to do with price, and everything to do with freedom.
It's fine to ask for compensation for labour. The developer labours on the software, and can expect to be paid for whatever time and materials go into making the software. The developer labours *not one iota* when I make a copy and give one to my friend, so cannot expect any compensation in that case.
Charging money for software development is a fine way of making a living; value received for value given. Even charging money for distributing copies of software is fine; it's a service and people can expect to pay for convenience. What's wrong is expecting people to agree not to share software, when they are free to share other useful information.
Sure, people who write software can set whatever usage license they like. But when there is truly free software that serves the same purpose, it's sad to see a civil-rights organisation choose non-free software.
Re: The EFF Gets a Blog
"They're using non-free BLOG software, and it displays for sh*t on non-free browser software."
Spot the contradiction?
I can't comment on their blog software, but it displays just fine on Linux Mozilla. But as someone who'd complain about other people using non-free software, you were using Mozilla already, right?
PS Netscape 4.x is the bane of standards compliant web development. Displaying like sh*t in Netscape may be due to IE-specific development, but it might also be because the developers decided to code to standards instead without taking time to worry about the complete and utter devastation that Netscape wreaks on simple applications of standard CSS. Even if you don't care about non-free software, for Deity-of-your-choice's SAKE, use a different browser!

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The seeds of the seashore mallow, a flowering herb, may be an alternative to petroleum; acting as a biodiesel source. Why is this newsworthy? This plant is a perennial (that means it comes back every year by itself) and can grow in salty environments. In addition,
"Biodiesel is biodegradable and non-toxic, and typically produces about 60% less net carbon dioxide emissions than petroleum-based diesel."
Implications - The process of making petroleum usable by consumers has potential to be harmful to the environment, with today's eco-conscious consumer seeking ways to alleviate that possibility while still maintaining all of petroleum's uses. Thus, scientist are on a constant hunt for alternatives such as the use of the seashore mallow.

FOXBORO -- After making his first four field goal attempts of the day, Stephen Gostkowski missed a 42-yard field goal wide left with one second remaining as the Patriots fell 20-18 in shocking fashion. Down two points, Brandon Spikes forced a fumble with 1:01 left in the fourth quarter to give the Patriots a chance at the miraculous finish. Danny Woodhead appeared to scored the go-ahead TD on a 30-yard touchdown run on the second play after the Cardinals fumble but Rob Gronkowski was called for offensive holding.
Tom Brady connected on a late TD pass to Gronkowski but missed on the two-point connection to his tight end, while the Cardinals turned a blocked punt into seven points as Arizona shocked the Patriots. The loss snapped New England's winning streak in home openers at 10. It was also their first home opening loss in Gillette Stadium history.
The Patriots, hurt by the loss of Aaron Hernandez to a right ankle injury, were sluggish for the entire first half. Brady was just 7-of-12 for 75 yards and a 42.0 quarterback rating. He was sacked three times and threw an interception to Patrick Peterson, which was caused when defensive tackle Darnell Dockett got his hand on the pass at the line of scrimmage.
The Cardinals jumped out in front 6-0 on a pair of first quarter field goals from Jay Feely.
The Patriots came back to tie the game at halftime on field goals of 46 and 34 yards by Gostkowski. Late in the second quarter, Wes Welker caught a 25-yard pass from Brady as the Patriots faced third and 10 from their own 10. With the catch, Welker passed Troy Brown for the all-time franchise lead in receptions with 558. Brown was honored at halftime after being inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Brady found Welker on a 32-yard seam route to open the second half and the Patriots seem to find their rhythm. But the drive stalled at the Arizona 30 with three straight incompletions as the Patriots settled for a 51-yard Gostkowski field goal that gave New England its first lead of the day.
The Patriots forced a punt but couldn't convert a first down as Welker dropped a pass from Brady near the Patriots sideline. On the next play, Zoltan Mesko had his punt blocked at the goal line. The ball bounced out of bounds at the Patriots 2. Three plays later, Kevin Kolb found Andre Roberts on an in-cut for the game's first touchdown a 13-9 Arizona lead.
The Cardinals later drove 75 yards in nine plays, capped off with a five-yard keeper up the middle for a touchdown and a 20-9 lead with 14 minutes left. Vince Wilfork then left the field with 7:56 left in the fourth with an apparent leg injury, as he was immediately tended to on the Patriots sideline by team doctor Tom Gill. Wilfork returned on the next defensive series.
The Patriots drew to within one score on Gostkowski's fourth field goal of the day, a 53-yard field goal, with 6:50 left in the fourth. The Patriots drove 82 yards in 11 plays, including five completions to Gronkowski and a five-yard TD pass with 2:49 left.
The Patriots hit the road again next Sunday when they play the Ravens in Sunday night football at M & T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

September 10th, 2007
Engineering and social sciences--it sounds like a bad mix for a dinner party. But S. Shankar Sastry, the dean of the college of engineering at the University of California at Berkeley, says it's the wave of the future.
Sastry, who became dean in January, is out to change the curriculum at the university, both to make engineering more attractive to students and to make engineering education more attuned to the demands of the working world.
Other changes are afoot, too. This year, UC Berkeley changed the course lineup for incoming freshman, he said. Nanotechnology and material science are now more emphasized than in the past. Biology also will be more tightly integrated into the traditional engineering curriculum.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Nimbus Data Systems, Inc., the leader in Sustainable Storage®, today announced two significant customer wins in business-critical Oracle database environments. Yes Energy, a top provider of analytics support solutions for power markets, and Lasso Data Systems, a leading developer of CRM software for the real estate market, selected the award-winning S-Class flash memory arrays to eliminate tuning and performance challenges presented by their previous infrastructures. After replacing their existing hybrid solutions and high-end disk arrays with Nimbus Data's S-Class all-flash storage system, Yes Energy and Lasso CRM achieved up to a 7x improvement in database performance while decreasing data center power, space and cooling costs.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100713/LA33688LOGO)
With PCIe flash cards and conventional hard drive-based storage arrays, Yes Energy faced an unwelcome compromise: while performance from PCIe flash was fast, capacity and high availability was lacking. Meanwhile, the disk array offered capacity and high availability, but unacceptably slow performance. Yes Energy found the ideal solution with Nimbus Data: an all-flash storage platform with even better performance than the hybrid arrangement of local PCIe flash and a disk-based SAN, plus large capacity and complete high availability to meet their growing needs. After implementing the Nimbus all-flash solution and comparing the results of identical full production loads against the existing PCIe flash and disk array solution, Yes Energy experienced up to 7x faster response times with the Nimbus, debunking the commonly-held belief that PCIe flash cards are faster than external all-flash storage systems.
"As a provider of split-second access to real-time data streams and efficient historical analysis, Yes Energy requires systems that can provide low-latency IO that enable us to write and read data as fast as possible," said Santhan Shanmugaratnam, Systems Architect of Yes Energy. "PCIe flash presented some problems and risks for us including limited scalability, single point-of-failure, CPU utilization, and slow IO, leading to higher load on our servers. Nimbus Data provides the critical reliability we need – one that enables fast response times, ease of management, and scaling options we will need down the road."
Lasso Data Systems experienced lethargic database reporting as well as escalating power and cooling costs while using a combination of traditional hard drive-based arrays and newer hybrid (SSD+HDD) solutions. Lasso opted to implement Nimbus Data's S-Class all-flash system and immediately saw tremendous improvements. Not only did Lasso utilize the S-Class to accelerate all MySQL database instances, Lasso also took advantage of Nimbus' multiprotocol features and ample horsepower to also serve NFS shares to Lasso's data warehouse application from the same array. In addition to dramatic performance advantages over hybrid solutions, the storage consolidation reduced operational costs by 43% through power, cooling and rack space savings.
"These customer wins continue to demonstrate that Nimbus Data's networked all-flash systems provide superior performance and reliability than SSD/HDD hybrid solutions and even local PCIe flash cards," stated Thomas Isakovich, CEO and founder of Nimbus Data. "By supporting clustering, online capacity expansion, non-disruptive maintenance, and exceptional IO latency, Nimbus Data all-flash arrays are ideal for accelerating Oracle, a success story repeated over and over at our enterprise customers."

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Milbrandt Vineyards 2012 Traditions Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $17
This spring, this Cab by Joshua Maloney had barely been released to the public when it earned a gold medal at the 2014 Great Northwest Wine Competition. And it is showing no signs of slowing down. Six estate vineyards along the Wahluke Slope help provide the aromas of cherries, blackberry, blueberry and chocolate, along with touches of hazelnut coffee, black pepper and mint. The pour brings plump, plush and delicious flavors of black cherry, blackberry and black licorice. Those fruit tones push from beginning to its yummy finish amid an approachable — and a bit hedonistic — structure. And thanks to a prolific vintage, Maloney was able to increase production by 55 percent.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 25,000 cases
Alcohol: 13.5%

On his radio show today, Bryan Fischer said it was "an absolute mystery" to him why self-identified evangelical Christians would be supporting Donald Trump for president, leading him to conclude that there must be something unnatural, otherworldly and Satanic at work. "You look at Donald Trump and there is something, to me, that is unnatural about his level of support," Fischer stated. "Something there that you cannot explain based on the world that we can see, based on natural causes, based on what is rational and logical and understandable. There is something that... MORE >

On his radio program today, Bryan Fischer made a passing remark asserting that God has limited the human lifespan to 70 or 80 years, as stipulated in Psalm 90, only to get some pushback from listeners who pointed out that figures in the Old Testament, such as Methuselah, routinely lived for hundreds of years. Fischer, of course, had a logical way to explain all of this. Echoing his theory that dinosaurs were really just 1,000-year-old lizards that existed prior to Noah's flood, Fischer explained that prior to the flood, there existed a "vapor canopy that surrounded the earth, this...

On his radio program yesterday, Bryan Fischer took a call from a listener who suggested that every lawyer that works for the federal government ought to be required to attend and pass a class taught by right-wing pseudo-historian David Barton before being hired. Fischer, of course, thought that was a great idea and suggested that it ought to apply to every member of Congress as well. "I like your idea," Fischer told the caller.

No Muslims, no terrorists. … Dr. Mordechai Kedar, writing in The Jewish Press, offers some of the details (emphasis mine throughout): This country keeps a very low profile on all levels regarding the Muslim matter: On the...

"That's not fun. You play all year to get in the post-season and finally get there, and then … you're suddenly out."
That was two years ago, when Boyes' 33 goals helped push the St. Louis Blues into the playoffs and a subsequent four-game departure, courtesy of Vancouver. Three other years with the Blues and one with the Bruins, his spring arrived waaaay early.
But that was then and this is tomorrow: Hockey Night in Canada in his hometown with two geographical rivals having so much at stake it could turn their stomach if they let it. The Leafs are madly stalking the Sabres, and others. And the Sabres are both stalking, and being stalked.
"If you're fighting for the playoffs, everything is just heightened," Boyes says. "You score a goal, or have one scored against you, and the intensity is that much more.
"When two teams are playing who are fighting to get in, that's the most intense. You get a team which is out of the playoffs, they play hard but they're almost carefree, they can be dangerous. And the other night we played Philly, who are well in the playoffs, and you actually had a similar sense to playing a team that is out of it."
While Boyes was an Ottawa Senators fan growing up (he played minor hockey for the Mississauga Senators), the Leafs are the team he followed the most, if only because of proximity. After an excellent, goal-sniping junior career at Erie, the Leafs made him their first-rounder, 24th overall, in 2000.
But he was traded before ever suiting up in Toronto, and his 2011 return as a key Sabres forward personifies the contrast between way the Leafs once wanted, and were able, to do things late in the season, and the way they now want to, and must.
In a complete 180 from franchise tradition, Brian Burke's Leafs finished the trade deadline period with futures (draft choice, Joey Colborne) coming in and the past (Tomas Kaberle) going out. And, paradoxically, they've still got hope for the current season. OK he did trade a high first-rounder for Phil Kessel, but that was in the off-season.
At the 2003 deadline, another big Irish Leaf GM, Pat Quinn, sent a first-rounder, Alyn McCauley and Boyes, then playing in the AHL, to San Jose for Owen Nolan.
That deal worked out … for about six weeks for the Leafs, and much longer for everybody else.
Nolan scored seven goals in his 14 regular-season games, but was blanked in the playoffs as the Leafs bowed out in the first round. McCauley outscored him the following season and Nolan's Toronto tenure ended in a bitter contract lawsuit during the lockout. He eventually had one more good season in Minnesota and played in Switzerland this year.
The No. 1 draft choice surrendered in the Nolan deal became Mark Stuart, who is a core member of the Atlanta Thrashers' defence. And Boyes, wheeled by San Jose to Boston the year after the Leaf trade, scored 26 goals in his first year with the Bruins, and later 43 and 33 for St. Louis.
"If I had a dime for every time I've heard about that trade …," Boyes muses. "If people ever recognize me, that's the first thing they mention, and rightfully so."
Now, it's Boyes who carries the big ticket — $4.5 million this year, $4 million next season — and getting him at the deadline was a huge statement by the Sabres to not only their fans, but to their dressing room. And, although the new owner wasn't technically in place yet, it was also a tacit promise that, under Terry Pegula, the Sabres won't always think wallet first, result second.
Boyes made an immediate impact, scoring twice in his first two Sabres games, and he's had a positive effect on the play of linemate Jason Pominville. Of course, he wouldn't have been available if his production in St. Louis hadn't slipped so drastically. He scored only 14 goals last season and a dozen before he was traded this term.
What happened?
"Another common question, and again rightfully so, when you go from those (previous) goal totals," Boyes says. "I could probably tell you 10 different things, because it was a combination of things. One thing was the power play. The year before in St. Louis, we were top 10 in the league on the power play, and it was primarily responsible for us getting into the playoffs. We made some changes last year and never really clicked after that."
It's worth noting that Boyes' first goal for the Sabres was on the power play.
Meanwhile, this game brings together a veteran hockey quartet, three of whose jobs seemed in jeopardy a little more than a month ago. Burke was always safe, as icons usually are. But Toronto coach Ron Wilson was only a few hoofbeats ahead of the lynch mob and speculation was that Pegula would bring in his own people to replace GM Darcy Regier and coach Lindy Ruff. The new Sabres owner quickly put an end to that speculation, and the recent success of both teams — leading to playoff drives that were flights of fancy in January — has raised the tide for all boats in the Toronto-Buffalo harbour.

Sat Sep 11 2010 (Updated 09/14/10)ENDA Protest in San Francisco
Sat Sep 11 2010 (Updated 09/14/10)Protest Demands Government Passage of ENDA
On September 9th, a protest took place in San Francisco demanding the US government pass Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). Several protesters were arrested for blocking traffic at the corner of Market and Castro Streets.
If passed, ENDA would protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from discrimination in the workplace for civilian, non-religious companies with over 15 employees, as well as federal, state and local governments, unions and employment agencies.
Currently, it's legal in 29 states to fire someone solely because they are lesbian, gay or bisexual. And in 38 states, it's legal to fire someone solely for being transgender. Even in San Francisco, transgender workers face profound employment challenges and discrimination. A 2006 study by the San Francisco Bay Guardian and the Transgender Law Center found that 60 percent of transgender people in San Francisco earn less than $15,300 per year, only 25 percent have a full-time job, and nearly nine percent have no source of income.

GT North of England P&I club has warned its shipowner members to protect themselves from the increasing risk of claims for charterers' unpaid bunkers. The advice comes in the latest issue of the club's loss-prevention newsletter Signals.
According to Mark Robinson of the club's freight, demurrage and defence department, "The recent downturn in the shipping markets and the world economy has unfortunately led to some charterers going out of business. One consequence is that a number of bunker suppliers, who contracted with these charterers to supply fuel to time-chartered ships, have been left unpaid – and they are now turning their attention to the ships' owners."
North said that even though the obligation to provide and pay for fuel under a time charterer rests with the defaulting charterer, and that the owner is not a party to the bunker supply contract, owners and their ships are vulnerable to action in many jurisdictions.
"A notable example is the USA, where a supplier of 'necessaries' to a ship, which includes bunkers, may have a lien over the ship itself and therefore the ability to take action against the owner to recover the charterer's debt," said Robinson.
Furthermore the club warns owners they cannot assume they are protected by charterparties such as NYPE, which contain provisions specifically prohibiting charterers from creating liens over their ships.
"Unfortunately the mere existence in the charterparty of such a provision is not in itself sufficient to protect an owner against any lien the supplier may have," said Robinson. "The provision will only be effective where it has been expressly drawn to the attention of the supplier of goods or services to the ship before the supply actually takes place."
North is thus advising its members to give suppliers notice of prohibition-of-lien clauses by registered letter before any supply is made. "Receipts or other papers submitted by suppliers should also be stamped to the effect that the supply is solely for the account of the charterer and that no lien against the vessel can arise," said Robinson. Recommended texts for both the letter and stamp are published in Signals.
North currently insures some 350 member groups from around the world, with a total P&I entry of 3750 vessels of 95 million GT. The club is based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK with regional offices in Hong Kong, Piraeus and Singapore.

LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt Series
LaCie's new Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt Series is the kind of external hard drive we can get behind. We use the term "hard drive" loosely, though—while Rugged comes in a 1TB spinning disk configuration for $250, it's also available with a 120GB SSD for $200 or 256GB SSD for $350. It pairs super-fast storage with super-fast transfer rates, supporting both USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt.
The Neil Poulton-designed look is pretty similar to what we've seen from LaCie's Rugged line over the past few years: the core is an aluminum shell, protected all the way around the edges by a shock-resistant rubber sleeve. Pair these features with an SSD and you can pretty much eliminate any risk of damaging the drive from drops or bumps. Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt Series is bus-powered, and thankfully LaCie includes cables for both standards in the box, unlike most Thunderbolt drives.

Great year for local stocks
Relevant offers
It has been a record year for the New Zealand stockmarket, with more listings, low interest rates and a strong local economy.
The NZX50 hit an all-time high of 4983.6 points in November, from 4066.5 at the start of 2013.
The benchmark index closed the year at 4737.01 points, more than 16 per cent higher than its 2013 start.
It has also been a record trading year.
The total number of trades increased by 31.6 per cent in 2013 compared with 2012, and the total value traded was up 47.9 per cent compared with the previous year to $39.5 billion.
Another 115,149 common shareholder numbers (CSNs) were created for new investors in 2013, taking the total number of active accounts to 585,808.
The number of new CSNs created in 2013 was about five times the number created in 2012.
A spate of listings helped ramp up trading activity on the local bourse, including the large and highly publicised Government partial selldowns of Mighty River Power, Meridian Energy and Air New Zealand.
Initial public offering activity resulted in $7.3b in new capital listed on the NZX in 2013.
Listings in 2013 were Airwork Group, Meridian Energy, Mighty River Power, SLI Systems, Synlait Milk, Wynyard Group, Z Energy and the reverse listing of the Mad Butcher via Veritas.
Tech companies GeoOp and Snakk Media listed on the smaller NZAX.
Cloud accounting firm Xero has blown the market away with its unexpected gains. Xero's shares have gained more than 330 per cent since the start of 2013, reaching a high of $41.50 in November from a starting price of $7.55.
At the other end of the spectrum, uncertainty in the regulatory environment has led to Chorus having a share price decline of more than 50 per cent compared with a year ago.
Diligent Board Member Services had a share price decline of more than 30 per cent during the past year, and the share price of crystal technology manufacturer Rakon dropped about 47 per cent in 2013.
The New Zealand exchange was not the only bourse that had a good year. With two trading days left, 2013 was looking to be a memorable year for Wall Street investors.
As the year came to an end, the S&P 500 was up 29 per cent, on track for its best year since 1997.
The Dow was up 26 per cent, its best year since 1996.
The Japanese stockmarket closed out a historic year.
Japan's Nikkei stock index closed higher for a ninth straight day on Monday.
The index ended 2013 up 57 per cent, its best year in decades.

I recently hopped the train from Rome and did a day trip to Nettuno, about an hour or so south and southwest it seemed from Rome.
Seaside Nettuno and neighbording Anzio of course bore the brunt of the Allies' Invasion of the Italian mainland in WWII - and like in Normandy it caused many many casualties in creating a beachhead in Italy from which the Allies tortuously clawed their way north to Rome.
I had not expected too much citywise from either place and was not disappointed at least in Nettuno in this regard - so so seaside town - pleasant but no reason to buy a postcard to send home.
Except however for the WWII memorial and cemetery in Nettuno - an oasis of greenery dotted by thousands of white stone markets of fallen Allied soldiers - all American it seemed by the states each market mentions.
Like the cemetery on D-Day at Colville-sur-Mer this cemetery necessarily takes over your emotions - thinking of the youthful folk who had the misfortune to be caught up in that moment and had to die before their lives really even began.
I thought of my first trip to Europe as a college kid - a fun and educating experience and justaposed that against these American lads first exposure to Europe.
Of course their bravery made my later trip possible, etc.
But anyway Nettuno has a special site.
I did not get to Anzio after reading in Nettuno that that was the only memorial-cemetery in the area.
What did i miss in Anzio - pleasant seaside town - are there any WWII memorials or markers there - if so i may have to day trip to the area again.

Roman Day Trip: Nettuno & Anzio
I recently hopped the train from Rome and did a day trip to Nettuno, about an hour or so south and southwest it seemed from Rome.

There's a British cemetery in Anzio as well as a small D-Day museum.
I loved Anzio. It's a great, bustling port town, and you can take a boat ride to the Island of Ponza.
One of the best meals of my life was a simple spaghetti alle vonghole in a portside restaurant in Anzio.
You should visit Sperlonga and Gaeta as well, and go inland to Finza.

My son and I went to Anzio last month to see the landing site and WWII Museum there. My father-in-law landed at Salerno in 1943 and we both went there as a rememberance of him. Salerno, Anzio and Monte Cassino were the highlight/lowlights of the Allied Campaign in Italy. My father-in-law was on the beach at Salerno for 3 weeks. Anzio was possibly worse.
An excellent account of the battles is in a book titled, "The Day of Battle."
Anzio is a beautiful small town now on the harbor and beach. There are many great places to eat. We went to the harbor and had Ravioli with Sea Bass(in the Ravioli) and Gnocchi with Shrimp. The Museum there is not open all the time so check before you go. It is a nice one hour train ride from Rome (albeit on a Regional train). Several Stops on the way.

There's a monument to the 36th Division (T-Patchers from Texas mostly) who landed at Paestum on September 9, 1943. The monument has no signage at all leading to the site just down the road from the fabulous Greek temples of Paestum. My father was part of that landing on the day after his 23rd birthday. We took a bus to Paestum from Salerno, which was slow and tedious. Returning, we took the train back to Salerno. There are no signs of the location of the train station from the temple site, so if you go, do research ahead of time and bring a map to indicate the location of the monument and the train station. Arriving by train would be a lot better, but the trains run very infrequently.
