Estrada asks SC to set hearing on disqualification case
More News from Tetch Torres-Tupas
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada has asked the Supreme Court to set a full hearing on the disqualification case filed against him by his predecessor Alfredo Lim.
Lim wants Estrada's election voided, saying the former president violated a precondition not to run for public office when former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo granted him executive clemency in October 20017, less than two months after the Sandiganbayan convicted him of plunder.
Estrada garnered 343,993 votes over Lim's 308,544 during the last mid-term polls in May.
Estrada, in his 32-page comment said that since Lim "is so sure of his premises," he should prove his claim by submitting evidence to the high court or the Court of Appeals.
He assured the high court he would prove that it was Arroyo" who initially offered to grant him absolute pardon on the condition that he should apply for it, which he rejected", and that a "full and absolute pardon" was offered to him after he approved its draft.
Estrada alleged that the "absolute pardon given to him by Arroyo was "an attempt to buy mass support from the followers of Estrada" at the height of the political crisis in 2007.
Lim, in his petition to join the plea of lawyer Risos Vidal to cancel Estrada's certificate of candidacy for Manila mayor, Estrada told the high court that when Arroyo pardoned him she just wanted to make sure that Estrada will no longer seek an elective post thus she gave the conditional pardon.
"Indeed, if we are to ask former President Arroyo on how to interpret her own pardon to respondent Estrada, she, in all likelihood, would construe the whereas clause as a condition for the clemency, for evident political reasons, if not out of sheer personal disdain," Lim said.

Thunder squander late lead, edge Warriors in OT
OKLAHOMA CITY Kevin Durant scored 39 points, Russell Westbrook hit the winning free throw with 11.4 seconds left in overtime and the Oklahoma City Thunder finished their longest homestand of the season with a 115-114 victory against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.
Durant scored eight of Oklahoma City's nine points in overtime, but served as a decoy to create room along the right side of the lane as Westbrook drove to the basket and got fouled.
Westbrook missed his first free throw, but made the second to put the Thunder on top.
Monta Ellis' jumper from the top of the key was wide right at the final buzzer.
Stephen Curry led Golden State with 35 points, David Lee had 24 points and 15 rebounds and Ellis had 20 points and 11 assists.
The Warriors eliminated a 10-point deficit in the final 3:49 of regulation, punctuated by a six-point burst in just a matter of seconds.
After Reggie Williams' 3-pointer from the right wing with 11.1 seconds remaining, Ellis stole Daequan Cook's inbounds pass and stepped behind the line for another 3 from the left corner to tie it up with 6.9 seconds to go.
Durant missed a fallaway jumper on the right baseline at the end of regulation.
Golden State led 114-112 after Ellis' 3-pointer from the top of the key with 1:10 left in overtime, but Durant answered with a jumper from the left wing to tie it up.
Ellis then missed from the top of the key on the Warriors' last two possessions .
Serge Ibaka added 19 points and Kendrick Perkins had 13 rebounds for Oklahoma City, which started out with a win in its first of four back-to-back sets in the final 15 days of the season. But not without a little extra work.
Golden State wiped away a 14-point deficit in the third quarter by deploying a zone that the Thunder couldn't solve. Oklahoma City went more than 6 minutes without a basket as the Warriors put together a 16-2 run that featured a two-handed putback dunk by Lee, a 3-pointer by Dorell Wright and six points from Ekpe Udoh.
Curry provided the final five with a 3-pointer and a fast-break layup that provided Golden State a 74-73 lead. Curry put the Warriors up again after answering Harden's banked-in jumper with a three-point play and then Durant's 3-pointer at the third quarter buzzer with a driving layup to start the fourth.
Harden had a two-handed slam, Durant dunked Eric Maynor's alley-oop with two hands and Harden had a steal for a left-handed, fast break jam during a string of eight straight Oklahoma City points, and Ibaka's layup off a Westbrook lob made it 100-90 with 3:24 to play.
Ellis answered with a driving layup at the other end and had seven points down the stretch in regulation to force overtime. He missed 12 straight shots at one point and finished 9-for-30 from the field.
The Thunder scored seven straight points to pull ahead midway through the second quarter on Cook's three free throws, then extended their lead with a string of eight consecutive points shortly after Cook and Curry got tangled up with an arena worker on the sideline to spill a platter of drinks on Durant's mother.

Day 1 - getting acclimtised
... spirits too much. First coffee stop was the excellent motorway services just after Ljubljana - temptingly good food, cheerful, helpful staff! Why can't GB manage this?
A bit more motorway, then off on the 6 towards the Croatian border and our lunch stop in Rijeka. The city is an urban sprawl with a large port, noisy and busy but with some impressive, if somewhat faded, Italianate architecture. We find a nice little trattoria with good food to ease the stress ...
... two days time when we'll be in Italy. In the meantime movement of that elbow is very restricted so getting my helmet on and off and manipulating the strap one handed is a new challenge. I declined a local anaesthetic and when the doc had finished cutting the damaged tissue out she told me I "would make a very good pregnant woman" but I think I'll decline that one ...
More rain, more fun
... but the riding abilities and confidence of the of group members are more varied, so we are getting strung out over several kilometres in a very short time, meaning we have to use lots of corner markers and keep regrouping, which is frustrating for the faster riders and inevitably it leads to corner marking mistakes and the tail-end-Charlie of the day accidentally getting in front of one or two ...
A fab sail up the 17 miles with the wind just dieing as we pulled into Punat to have a look around before going of to Krk main town for the evening.

Back in the comic book heyday of the 1990s, there was one studio of wild young guns that had a vision: To own their comic book creations, and presumably get stinkin' rich in the process. And for a while, it worked! Image Comics was formed, and leading the charge into a brave new world was superstar artist Todd McFarlane, with his Spawn comics. These days, Spawn is more or less an excuse to create some bitching cool toys. But the character himself has survived for many a year, by adapting his look.
A few years can make a big difference in your appearance. It can make you look more mature, trustworthy and responsible. In my case, it can send more people than usual running away and screaming. I really do need to get a more contemporary haircut. After a four year gap, Nathan Drake returns in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End next year. And man, time has been kind to him.
Asking me which console to recommend these days is the equivalent of quizzing me as to which testicle I'd like to keep in a life or death situation. I love all three two of very much you see. What I will admit however, is that the Xbox One has a superior controller in my humble opinion. Sure, the PS4 controller may have more features, but they're barely used and the damn thing has the battery lifespan of a Mayfly which has gotten rather drunk and hasn't buckled its seatbelt on before driving off. But to make the Xbox One controller, the design team behind it went through tons of design iterations.
Doom Designer John Romero argues that despite massive advancements in technology, we haven't seen major advances in gameplay. Considering the amount of nostalgia around classic games, I can't help but wonder if he's right.
You know you're watching a low budget sci-fi flick when the computers are big, and the hair is even more massive. Some of these flicks haven't stood the test of time, whereas as some have used the technology of their era to create a signature look. And Alien Isolation is looking to the original Alien film for some MS-DOS inspiration.
If there's one aspect of game design that is criminally underrated, it's audio design. Visuals can only take you so far when you design a game, because audio is the subtle finisher that helps a great title perform a full package DDT at the end of the day. And inFamous: Second Son, knows all about the art of audio.
It's not the hardware underneath, or the line-up of games that allow for love at first sight when deciding which console to buy. Much like real life, looks really do matter, and fortunately for the Playstation 4, it's got a sexy shell housing all those electronics inside of it. A design which the original Xbox designers recently critiqued.
I always love seeing what designs are knocked around before a console settles on its final look. Or until a slimmer version arrives. The Xbox One was no stranger to this design process, going through a heap of concepts and ideas before settling on the Betamax version. Here's what some of those designs looked like.
You know what the most overlooked aspect is of console design? Longevity. Few console features looks that will last a decade or two. I mean hell, just look at Atari? Wooden panels? Yeah, that'll go nicely with the drapes. The Playstation 4 on the other hand, is a sexy beast of a console. And that's all because Sony didn't want to embarrass you.
Just before I went to the land of nod last night I saw this new teaser video posted up by Sony PlayStation which gives us a blurred flashy look at the new upcoming PlayStation 4.
While at the Call of Duty Championship last week, I got the chance to have a quick one on one with Black Ops 2 Game Design Director, David Vonderhaar. Maniacally enthusiastic about the game that Treyarch has worked on, here's what Vonderhaar had to say about design, evolution, co-operation and next-gen ideas.
When it comes to controllers in the current generation of gaming, hands down the Xbox 360 has the best input device on the market. It's a comfy, well designed piece of tech with some decent heft, something that even Nintendo copied for their Wii U pro controller. But the PS3 gamepad? That's an antiquated piece of design that feels like it could snap in my hands at any second. And it looks like Sony has been listening to Geoff, because their next console is going to feature something…new.
It hasn't been an easy week for Diablo 3 lead designer Jay Wilson. Blizzard North co-founder David Brevik was critical of some of the design decisions that had been implemented in Diablo 3, something which many fans would agree on as well. Wilson, and a couple of other Diablo 3 designers, weren't too happy with Brevik criticising them, and they went on to Facebook to voice that, using some salty language to do so. And now, Wilson has apologised for doing so.
Sony Needs You… to help them decide on what design/colour the next DualShock 3 will be. It's a nice crowdsourcing idea that gives all PS fans around the world the chance to submit ideas and then let everyone else vote on them.

Evaluating a selective prevention programme for binge drinking among young adolescents: study protocol of a randomized controlled trial

In comparison to other Europe countries, Dutch adolescents are at the top in drinking frequency and binge drinking. A total of 75% of the Dutch 12 to 16 year olds who drink alcohol also engage in binge drinking. A prevention programme called Preventure was developed in Canada to prevent adolescents from binge drinking. This article describes a study that aims to assess the effects of this selective school-based prevention programme in the Netherlands.
A randomized controlled trial is being conducted among 13 to 15-year-old adolescents in secondary schools. Schools were randomly assigned to the intervention and control conditions. The intervention condition consisted of two 90 minute group sessions, carried out at the participants' schools and provided by a qualified counsellor and a co-facilitator. The intervention targeted young adolescents who demonstrated personality risk for alcohol abuse. The group sessions were adapted to four personality profiles. The control condition received no further intervention above the standard substance use education sessions provided in the Dutch national curriculum. The primary outcomes will be the percentage reduction in binge drinking, weekly drinking and drinking-related problems after three specified time periods. A screening survey collected data by means of an Internet questionnaire. Students have completed, or will complete, a post-treatment survey after 2, 6, and 12 months, also by means of an online questionnaire.
This study protocol presents the design and current implementation of a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a selective alcohol prevention programme. We expect that a significantly lower number of adolescents will binge drink, drink weekly, and have drinking-related problems in the intervention condition compared to the control condition, as a result of this intervention.
Trial registration
This trial is registered in the Dutch Trial Register (Cochrane Collaboration) as NTR1920.

Letter: The evidence?
John F. Malley, Naples
The evidence?
Ralph R. Miano in his Jan. 25 letter has found two more ways to criticize President Barack Obama:
1. He is amused that Obama would say his policies saved hundreds of thousands of jobs, when, according to Miano, "there is no way to accurately measure this number."
"Hundreds of thousands" is an expression used precisely when there is no way "to accurately measure the number." It means more than 100,000 but less than a million, a range which can accurately be estimated.
2. That Obama "tries every way possible to see that it (to make us free of foreign oil) does not happen.
This absurd accusation is unsupported by any evidence except that the president has not yet endorsed the so-called Keystone pipeline, which is opposed by the governor of Nebraska because of the risk to Nebraska's drinking water supply, and by TransCanada Corporation officials, who will propose an alternate route. It is certainly something which any president would want to consider carefully, both the proposal itself and the proposed route, before expressing his approval.
If this is the best that Miano can do by way of faultfinding, the president must be doing a good job. It makes me wonder whether Miano is satisfied with the accuracy of the president's birth certificate.

This was the second part we replaced. The first part was the Temperature Control Assy; which had been replaced several weeks earlier by a repairman, seemed to fix the problem for a few weeks and then the problem returned. Thinking the part might be bad we replaced it again with no luck. Based on the information from other repair stories with similar problems we tried the Defrost Assy, Adpative. We hadn't put all the covering parts back so replacing this part was relatively easy. At first we didn't think this part fixed the problem either, but after a few days of monitoring the temps in the refrigerator & freezer it seems to have corrected the problem. It has been several weeks and the temps are holding.The most difficult part of the repair is removing the cover plate to gain access to the parts. There are clips that have to be released, and thanks to another repair story we were able to get that done. Also, we accessed the data on our refrigerator from this site (from the parts lists and obtained the drawings) so we were able to identify each part. Otherwise the repairs were removing one part and replacing it with the new parts (screws and connectors).Since this site (unlike some of the others) had listed the Defrost Assy with additional model information we ordered our part from PartSelect as we didn't want to receive a part that wouldn't fit. The part was perfect and we have a working refrigerator FINALLY!

NORFOLK- The Transportation Security Administration will stop issuing, replacing or activating TWIC Cards starting Tuesday, April 22nd.
The agency posted on its website that the moratorium is due to technology upgrades aimed at improving reliability of the cards.
TWIC services will be unavailable until May 4th, according to the website.
The move comes on the heels of increased scrutiny of the cards in the wake of last month's shooting at Naval Station Norfolk.
In that shooting, Navy officials say Jeffrey Savage used a TWIC card to access base and get to Pier One, where he ultimately killed MA2 Mark Mayo.
Savage was able to get a TWIC card despite having been released from prison on a manslaughter charge in 2010 and serving time in a federal facility after that for violating terms of his release on an earlier federal drug charge.
Those convictions and recent jail time should have disqualified him from being approved for a TWIC card according to rules posted on the TSA website. But anyone can apply for a waiver to the rules.

Consumers drinking more water than soda for the first time in two decades, thanks to a national health kick
Analysts expect water to hold onto to its top spot for years to come. But whether people will drink from the tap or a bottle is uncertain.
Based on current trajectories, Michael Bellas, the CEO of the industry tracker Beverage Marketing Corp., predicts that bottled water alone could overtake soda within the next decade. That's not counting enhanced and flavored waters, which are growing quickly but remain a small part of the bottled water industry.
Currently, people drink 21 gallons of bottled water a year. That compares with 37 gallons of other water, which includes tap, sparkling, flavored and enhanced waters such as Coca-Cola's vitaminwater.
But there are numerous factors that could tilt the scales in favor of tap water.
Backlash possible
Because of concerns that plastic bottles create too much waste, experts say bottled water could be hit by a public backlash similar to the one that has whipsawed the soda industry with pushes for bans and taxes.
New York City was preparing for a ban on cups of sugary drinks that are larger than 16 ounces starting March 12. But a day before the ban was to begin, a judge invalidated the regulation. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who originally proposed the ban, appealed the judge's ruling on the following day.
Bottled water already is starting to face similar opposition. The town of Concord, Mass., this year banned the sale of water bottles that are less than a liter. And the University of Vermont became the first public university to ban the sale of bottled water.
Meanwhile, other cities are waging campaigns to promote tap water. New York City, which touts the high quality of its tap water, offers portable fountains at events around the city.
"Good old marketing has convinced people that they should spend a lot of money on bottled water," said Salome Freud, chief of New York City's distribution water quality operations.
Soda more profitable
Although companies such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo would rather have people buy bottled waters, they're even more invested in getting people to drink more soda again.
That's because soda and other drinks that the companies make, such as sports drinks and juices, are more profitable than bottled water. With bottled water, people tend to buy whatever is cheapest. That's a habit that forces companies to keep prices relatively low, which eats into profits.
It's why companies are investing so heavily in developing nations such as China and India, where the appetite for soda continues to grow.
In the U.S., annual soda sales are more than five times as big as bottled water at $75.7 billion a year, according to Beverage Digest. In terms of volume, soda is only twice as big as bottled water.
At Coca-Cola, the No. 1 soda maker, three-quarters of its volume in gallons comes from soft drinks, compared with 8 percent for its bottled waters including Dasani. PepsiCo, the No. 2 soda maker, gets 64 percent of its volume from soft drinks and only 7 percent from its Aquafina bottled water.

Question : Install New Engine vs Rebuild

Rep Power:
Especially for auxiliaries, diesels suffer most from not being run for sustained periods at power. Having said that different diesels have service ratings. Generally the manufacturer can advise you on this and given the specs for your boat they can make a recommendation of the power best suited for you. Where the propeller comes in is matching its' performance curve with your engine's Shaft Horse Power curve (from .94 to .96 of BHP or Brake Horse Power which is what's normally in the specs.) performance, for sailboats the goal is to get the curves to match at normally 90% power. The prop's diameter is normally limited by the hull or skeg clearance from the blade tip. You need at least 15% of the blade's diameter for clearance. The next issue is blade pitch. Too much pitch and your engine won't get up to speed, too little and it will overspeed at full throttle. After pitch comes is blade area, too little area and the prop will gravitate at full power. So if your diameter is limited you may have to go from a two bladed prop to a three bladed prop to get sufficient blade area. Propeller manufacturers will calculate the right prop given you boat and engine specifications. Michigan Wheel is a good one for this.
A note: Some manufacturers show both BHP and ISO 8665 power curves. the ISO deals with controlled testing conditions which I don't know much about. Prop manufactures seem ot with using the BHP number for thier calculations.

Leaders of the National Democratic Alliance met Railway minister Sadananda Gowda here today. The meeting was held to convey the strong sentiments of commuters in Mumbai and the issues they are facing due to the hike in railway fares.
People have been outraged by the government's decision on railway fares. The centre had announced a steep hike in railway passenger and freight fares. Passenger fares have been increased by 14.2%, while freight charges have been increased by 6.5% respectively.
Apprehensive about an adverse fallout of the hike in train fares in the coming assembly polls, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena MPs from Maharashtra had decided to meet Gowda in Delhi to "convey strong sentiments of commuters".
Shiv Sena criticises rail fare hike, but does not demand roll back; hopes this will be final hike
The Shiv Sena has criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party for the railway fare hike, but has stopped short of demanding a rollback saying "the people expect this hike to be the final one". An editorial in "Saamna", the party mouthpiece, said on Monday, "The people felt that since the (Narendra) Modi-led government had come to power, a magic wand would ensure that the fires of inflation will be subdued and they voted the Congress government out on these grounds." But the railway fare hike had led to chaos and given the opposition a stick with which to beat the government. Read more

Chase Capital Partners and Flatiron Partners Invest in Internet Company Starbelly.com.
Will Revolutionize How Businesses and Consumers Buy
Personalized Soft and Hard Goods
CHICAGO, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Starbelly.com ( www.starbelly.com ), a start-up business-to-business and consumer e-tailer of custom-decorated, brand-name merchandise, today announced the close of $8 million in funding from two leading Internet venture capital firms Chase Capital Partners and Flatiron Partners.
The financing is one of the largest venture capital investments ever made in a Midwestern e-commerce company, and reflects the breakthrough nature of starbelly.com's business model, according to investors.
Starbelly.com decorates to order, allowing customers to emblazon their own company logos or designs on hundreds of thousands of products -- from shirts to sweaters, briefcases to coffee mugs. All product selection, design and ordering is done via the Internet and products are shipped within 7 days of order placement, versus weeks for most companies. Because of its unique and significant production capacity Starbelly.com does not carry inventory of the blank products it decorates and fulfills, yet is able to offer merchandise from more than 40 of the world's leading brand-name manufacturers.
"Starbelly.com is the Dell.com of custom-decorated products; it is revolutionizing an incredibly inefficient $50 billion industry that is bloated with middlemen who inflate prices and delay service," said Dan Malven at Flatiron Partners, an investor in some of the most successful companies on the Internet. "Starbelly.com's business model, infrastructure and leading-edge customization technology is changing the way businesses and consumers buy custom-decorated shirts, hats, mugs and other brand-name products."
Starbelly.com offers products from such trusted manufacturers as Champion, Hanes, Lee, Eastpak, Gerber Childrenswear, London Fog, Bill Blass, Rawlings and Cross Creek.
"The compelling value proposition of Starbelly.com was immediately obvious to us because they have an opportunity to turn a very large, inefficient and fragmented industry upside down," said Steve Murray, partner at Chase Capital Partners. "The ability to select, customize and visualize your order in minutes, versus what traditionally takes days or weeks, is of compelling value to customers. In addition, Starbelly.com has a seasoned management team with deep experience in the customized apparel, e-commerce and promotional marketing industries."
The company allows businesses to create logo-decorated promotional products, companies to establish just-in-time supplies of uniforms and organizations of all types to establish Web-based "company stores" of branded products without the expense or risk of inventory requirements. In October, Starbelly.com will launch a consumer web site that will allow consumers to select, decorate and purchase clothing and other merchandise.

Love sailing? This pendant necklace is for you! I have stitched the sailboat pendant using the Peyote stitch. Size 8 Toho beads were used in Teal and silver lined crystal.

The necklace can be worn with or without the pendant, it simply slides on and off. A one of a kind statement piece.

He may think its over, but I wont forgive this humiliation so easily. I put in an order for what will ultimately be a fleet of tanks destined to roll on New Delhi sometime in the next decade. The voters wont go for it of course, so Ill just take a page from Emperor Palpatine and dissolve the Senate before seeking my revenge. A bunch of politicians arent getting in the way of me making the Mahatma kneel at my feet.
No question: aside from the bizarre, quasi-historical spectacles you encounter in Civilization Revolution (President Genghis Khan launches his first battleship, anyone?), you sometimes get to see a new, ugly side of yourself, too. And its damn fun.
For those tragically unfamiliar, Sid Meiers Civilization games much like Will Wrights Sim titles start with a simple concept: guide a civilization from its bearskin-wearing origins all the way to a modernity of atomic power, space flight, and assholes sitting alone in restaurants talking too loudly on a silly headset phone.
Should your people be enlightened, cultured artisans? Technological geniuses? What about savage, warmongering monsters every step of the way? All up to you. And as you spread out across the map growing around (or through) neighboring tribes, you even manage the day-to-day problems of a city planner: should you build a temple or a marketplace in your capital? Fortify the town with archers or form up an army of horsemen to ride out and, ahem, visit the locals? Each has ramifications.
However complicated this all sounds, the game does an excellent job of walking you through the system, even giving you a comprehensive in-game encyclopedia to refer to as needed. The basics are easy to pick up, and most games move briskly, short enough that you can squeeze in a couple before bedtime.
If anything, thats the aspect that will disappoint the devoted fans of the series: Revolution is a stripped, streamlined interpretation of past Civ games. On the bright side, fewer nuances mean the game clicks along much faster than its PC brethren, making a session less of a commitment and more accessible to novices. But to do this, reams of micromanagement got sacrificed on the altar of simplicity, making it a bummer for PC fans who actually enjoyed the minutiae of, say, picking the specific acres around a city to be irrigated.
Likewise, the game is a bit short on options multiplayer is great, but forcing players to take on computer-controlled playmates is silly and the computers AI ranges from braindead on most difficulties to an abrupt mad-dog-insane on the highest two, with little in between. Likewise, it seems to have an unspoken agreement with other AI tribes: gang up on the organic lifeform.
But then you pay Cleopatra to declare war on Napoleon, hoping the distraction will allow you a chance to finish your nuclear weapon and all the little problems just dont seem like that big a deal.

EU commissioner lobbies for PH support in curbing world carbon emissions
More News from Kristine Angeli Sabillo
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – A European Union (EU) commissioner said they were banking on the Philippines' support for the next climate deal, making all countries "equally and legally bound" to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
"I think that we [Philippine officials] share some views on how, in the process between now and 2015, we both need to inject ambition into the talks [on climate change]," EU Commissioner for Climate Change Connie Hedegaard said in a press conference in Makati Friday.
Both the Philippines and the EU are parties to the Kyoto Protocol, a treaty obligating states to reduce GHG emissions and reach a level that would prevent human-induced climate change. However, large emitters of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) such as the United States and China remain uncooperative. Last year, states attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference agreed to extend the Protocol and develop a succeeding document by 2015.
Hedegaard said she would be spending her two days in the country talking to government officials and civil society groups about local environment programs and the international negotiations.
"It is extremely useful at this point to exchange views with a country like the Philippines," she said, adding that the country will play a "very interesting role" amid its rank as third most vulnerable country to weather-related catastrophes, according to the World Bank.
"I know it's only a few weeks back since most of this city was flooded. It's interesting to be here when I know that to talk about climate change that is not to talk about some distant threat. It's actually here. It's been felt," she said.
The EU Commissioner said she was also hoping that the Philippine government would "internationalize" what it has been doing for the environment amid having relatively low "per capita emission of 0.8 tons."
"When you are doing these things, and when you have a climate law, why not inscribe it internationally and show to others, including the bigger ones, that if you can do it, why should they not be able to do it?" she said.
Hedegaard said the EU was committed to reducing its GHG emissions by 20% in 2020 or even higher if other parties make comparable commitments.
However, she said they understood that the greater burden was with developed and industrialized countries.
Despite the economic crisis, the EU Commissioner said they were able to come up with funding for programs in order to meet targets.
"What we believe in Europe is the intelligent way forward would be to solve our economic issues, our growth problems, development, challenges, and the job and social aspects and the environment and climate change at once. Because in the end it is about how we are creating the growth in the future," she said.
Hedegaard met with the Climate Change Commission, the Asian Development Bank and civil society groups, separately. She was expected to discuss climate change policies with Foreign Secretary Albert Del Rosario and members of Congress.
According to Lubomir Frebort of the EU Delegation, they have been extending aid to the Philippine government through forest protection and assessment programs, the latter worth P60 million.
He said a number of European companies have also invested in renewable energy sources in the country, in addition to the government receiving P20 million for their low emission capacity building program.

01 November 2013 13:33 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--Chemicals producer LANXESS is one of the few major European companies most vulnerable to either slowing growth or rapid currency devaluation in emerging markets, new research from Fitch Ratings said on Friday.
"A downturn in the synthetic rubber market has pushed up leverage at LANXESS, and there is little visibility as to when demand and prices might recover in the Asian tyre sector," Fitch said in an assessment of prospects for the Germany-based producer, a specialist in rubber and plastics.
In a special report entitled 'EMEA [Europe, Middle East and Africa] Winners and Losers from the Emerging Market Growth Dip', Fitch said EMEA corporates with significant exposure to emerging markets need to adapt to a "new normal", particularly slowing growth.
However, adapting would mean making changes "of an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary nature", the report added.
Most large European chemical producers have pursued large expansion programmes in emerging economies over the past three years, with publicly stated growth targets in these regions given for 2015, Fitch noted.
In 2013, however, cash flow generation and financial metrics across the European chemical sector have been adversely affected by higher energy costs and lower demand than projected in their core European markets and in their identified growth markets, the report said.
"Although most companies have rebased their overall 2015 growth targets at lower levels, the emerging market investment drive remains generally intact and remains a priority given its potential transformational effect after 2015," it added.
"Rather than scaling down their emerging market capital expenditure plans, producers such as LANXESS are adjusting capacity ramp-ups to reflect the lower emerging market demand and initiating new restructuring programmes in Europe," the report said.
In Asia, LANXESS' synthetic rubber business faced the problem that the tyre market offers little transparency on inventories, Fitch also noted.

"Every room (from bedroom to classroom) in the American mansion is under assault to impose either de facto or de jure a Christian theocracy -- I call them Christocrats," said Rabbi James Rudin, former head of interreligious activities for the American Jewish Committee.
"They are people who believe there should be a legally mandated Christian nation, where the concept of separation of church and state is weakened or abandoned," he added.

Casio, three others lead Alaska Aces to first victory in 38th PBA Philippine Cup
More News from Calvin Cordova
With three players scoring least 20 points, the Alaska Aces finally broke into the win column via a resounding 102-86 victory over Barako Bull Energy Cola last night in the 38th PBA Philippine Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
JVee Casio had his best game in an Alaska uniform as he exploded for a game-high 24 points, missing just five of his 14 attempts from the field.
Alaska had a brilliant offensive game with Cyrus Baguio firing 23 points and Mac Baracael scattering 21 markers. Tony Dela Cruz was the fourth Aces to score in twin digits with 10.
Alaska notched its first win in three games by coming up big in the third quarter, where it fought back from a 10-point deficit.
Barako Bull started the third with a 14-4 run, breaking free from a 48-all standoff to post a 62-52 lead.
Barako Bull was up, 64-57, when Alaska staged a blistering 15-0 tear to steal the upper-hand, 72-64. Casio had nine points in that rally.
Mick Pennisi ended Barako Bull's long drought with a split free throw but Alaska closed the third with nine unanswered points to build a big 81-65 lead going into the fourth.
Barako Bull answered with its own rally, holding Alaska to just four points while scoring 14 in the first six minutes of the fourth to move within 84-85 with 5:45 left.
Alaska found a hero in Baracael as the sweet-shooting forward scored six straight points that gave Alaska a 91-84 lead.
Barako Bull fell to 1-2 (win-loss).

The Election Commission (EC) on Friday banned Narendra Modi's close aide Amit Shah and Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan from holding public meetings, rallies or roadshows in Uttar Pradesh for making inflammatory speeches. This is the first time that the poll watchdog has taken strict action against political leaders during the ongoing elections.
Drawing powers vested under Article 324 of the Constitution, the EC asked the UP government to initiate criminal proceedings against the duo by filing FIRs. It found Shah and Khan guilty of violating several IPC sections which are non-baliable and invite punishment for 3-8 years.
"The commission has been observing with serious concern that Azam Khan and Amit Shah have been making highly inflammatory speeches. These statements promote enmity, hatred and ill-will and creating disharmony between communities on the ground of religion," the EC said.

Martha and Henry,
We have had the best time at La Jolla! We check out tomorrow and are very sad to leave. The condo has been more than perfect and my sister, my nephews and I have been thrilled to have found this condo for our vacation! We loved loved loved the place, wish we could have stayed longer. I hope to come back soon, I honestly don't want to stay anywhere else! Thank you so much for sharing your place!

Excellent week!!
First time and perfect!
Great Place to Relax
We did not rent a car as we were not interested in touring outside of San Jose or Los Cabos. But the lack of a car was not an issue at all. The Mega store is a 15 to 20 minute walk and taxis outside the store will run you back for $100 pesos. In fact $100 pesos will get you just about anywhere in San Jose or back to your condo. There is also a taxi stand at the Bel Air Resort. You can catch the Ruta del Desierto bus right across the highway and it will take you to Los Cabos for $35 pesos. ( just make sure you catch one stopping at the Puerto Parasio mall.) The closest restaurant is Sardina Cantina, about 5 minute walk. It has good food, a great staff and reasonable prices. Cynthia's Fresh Organic is also a good bet. It is located near the Mega store.
In summary, this property met our needs for a wonderful, quiet, relaxing winter break. If you are looking for party time, go stay in Los Cabos.
Perfect Vacation!
Our Wonderful Family Cabo Trip
As we opened the door there was the ocean staring right at us. From the second floor wrap-around balcony we had a magnificent view of the ocean. Although we were on the cusp of a hurricane and the waters were very dangerous, we found fun at the two pools. The grounds are perfectly manicured and the groundskeepers were working every day to keep it manicured.
The unit was adequate for our needs. My husband and I had the king-sized bedroom and our daughter, son-in-law and 9-yr. old grandson had the other bedrrom with a queen and single. Each bedroom having it's own private bath was a plus for all of us.
We would recommend La Jolla to everyone who is looking for a serene setting in a beautiful part of the world. We felt safe and comfortable during our week stay.
We did rent a car at the airport and were glad we did because it gave us a chance to see other beaches and tour the area. The town of San Jose was lovely. We like it much better than Cabo San Lucas (too busy). Lovely restaurants in town especially Jazmin, one of our favorites. Good food and great atmosphere.

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 11/14/14
If you don't follow OhioMediaWatch on Twitter, you are missing out on one of the most mysterious and accurate sources in Cleveland media. Tonight the Twitter account seemed to be making a lot of noise with rumor and speculation which could mean the long-rumored sale of Sports Time Ohio might finally be coming. WFNY sources had also indicated as far back as a year ago that a sale was imminent, but alas this is still news as 2013 is within spitting distance. Those "SportsTime Ohio is about to be sold" rumors are getting really loud, with both Time Warner and Fox reportedly interested. — Ohio MediaWatch (@ohiomediawatch) November 28, 2012 However, we have not been able to confirm any impending sale of STO, or either or more interested parties. Stay tuned. — Ohio MediaWatch (@ohiomediawatch) November 28, 2012 Time Warner and Fox are always the interested parties in rumors of buying STO. We haven't spotted the exact fire yet, but a LOT of smoke. — Ohio MediaWatch (@ohiomediawatch) November 28, 2012 Fox could turn STO into "Fox Sports Ohio 2″. They have two networks in other markets. They'd need less staff, since they have FSO now. — Ohio MediaWatch (@ohiomediawatch) November 28, 2012 Betting on SportsTIme Ohio existing in its current form past 2012 would probably not be a safe bet. — Ohio MediaWatch (@ohiomediawatch) November 28, 2012 I would guess at least some of this is unsourced and based in speculation, but this is far from the first time that anyone's smelled smoke with regard to the Sports Time Ohio media property. And even with the rampant speculation, it isn't like the chess pieces are a big mystery. Fox Sports Ohio, Time Warner Cable, the Dolan family, etc. Now, if I just could just find some supporting information for the Indians sale rumors… In other TV related news, TD and Jacob are scheduled to appear on More Sports and Les Levine on NEON 23 on Time Warner Cable tomorrow night at 6:00 PM. (Shameless plug, I know.)
