Washington (AP) -- The Chiquita Banana Company has pleaded guilty to doing business with terrorists.
In federal court in Washington, Chiquita Brands International admitted that, for years, it's been paying right-wing paramilitary groups and leftist rebels for protection of its Colombian banana-growing operations.
The plea is part of a deal with prosecutors that calls for the company to pay a $25 million fine.
Prosecutors say the Cincinnati-based company and several of its officers agreed to pay $1.7 million to a right-wing militia known as the AUC. Prosecutors say Chiquita then began making payments to two other groups as control of its banana-growing area shifted.
Chiquita stock has risen sharply since the plea deal was announced last week. But company shares were down in midmorning trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

At the recently concluded WIFW, designer Aneeth Arora of Pero was perhaps the only designer whose collection looked actually fall winter. Designer Archana Rao of Frou Frou chose to showcase a spring summer line while Anupama Dayal showed totally bridal pieces. Isn't it high time for a reality check? With global warming greatly impacting retail sales, isn't it time to have clothes which are trans-seasonal and wearable all time of the year. Considering there is no winter in South of India, wasn't it a foolish decision to ape the West by starting Autumn/Winter seasons in India? While the FDCI shows Autumn Winter, LFW shows resort at the same time.
Today we need a wardrobe which is not dictated by seasons but one that easily transcends seasons. Let's see what the industry experts have to say…
Wendell Rodricks, Designer
This had to come about at some stage. With global fashion, everyone has realised, since the 80s that there are warm climes in many parts of the new wealthy world while a European winter is on. Which is why cruise collections came into play. Later cruise morphed totally into resort. Big designers like Lagerfeld began showing Chanel cruise in Miami, Sydney and Brazil. That trend continues today because there is no way that winter clothes can be sold in the southern hemisphere that have a reverse season versus Europe. And this philosophy is now being applied to India as well.
Dev, Designer Dev R Nil
An evolved fashion conscious environment is all about wearing clothes that are ever lasting and not just a fad. Wearing clothes that are trans-seasonal help in picking a piece and wearing it in many ways than one at various times of the year, for example, a shift dress can be worn in summer just by itself and in winter with smart layering. Also, people are travelling more than ever before going to various weather conditions all around the year; having trans-seasonal pieces in the wardrobe is always a great idea.
Anjana Sharma, COO, Fashion Director, Stylista.com
In India we are taught to always save. How many of us really shop for a fall wardrobe? With smart layering, we can easily dress up for the mild winter we face. When I travel to Europe I layer myself in Pashmina. I think we should stop blindly aping the West and not have fall and spring demarcations. As far as monsoon is concerned, let's be honest - people who actually buy fashion will never get wet since their lifestyle is totally car to carpet. In fact, more than rain wear we haven't tapped into leather accessories area, which can be our great strength.
Tina Tahiliani, Director, Ensemble
Mumbai doesn't really have clearly defined seasons; the weather is almost constant throughout the year. On the other hand, in Delhi there is a starker difference in the seasons. Therefore in Delhi you see some differences between winter and summer fashion. The diverse climatic conditions in our country pose a unique challenge in trend forecasting. In Mumbai, the trends can be carried forward from summer into winter, similar fabrics and colours could be worn during both seasons but in places like Delhi you would be more careful. For example, we would not sell velvet after the winter.
Fashion is becoming trans-seasonal catering to the wants of a global consumer who wants fashion outside of the typical seasonal stuff , they seek year round styles since the seasons have become erratic, more so in India, where we typically do not have very fierce summers or snowy winters barring a few exceptions. In the Indian scenario, we don't necessarily create a winter specific collection- our interpretation of winter wear comes through bold dark colors, slightly heavier fabrics like raw silks, tussars etc but the change is not so dramatic or drastic, you wouldn't see wool jackets or trench coats.

Santee, mobile homes end longtime feud
"The City Council believes these settlements to be as fair as possible to all parties and especially sensitive to those residents living on fixed incomes," Mayor Randy Voepel said. "Rent increases are very difficult for the low income seniors on fixed income. With that burden in mind, (the city) has negotiated a settlement that spreads the rent increases across as many years as possible and also has a hardship program for those residents that cannot afford any rent increase."
Other provisions of the settlement allow for a full Consumer Price Index adjustment annually for the term of the agreements. This will provide for an additional adjustment of approximately $1-$2 per month more in rent based on the most recent year's CPI. However, regardless of prevailing rents in area mobile home parks, future rents at Cameron's and Meadowbrook remain controlled by the CPI.
"Cameron's Mobile Estates has seen a steady deterioration of its net income since the establishment of rent control to the point that our income was lower in 2010 than it was in 1994," said Jim Moxham, CEO of Cameron Brothers Corp. "The settlement agreement begins to correct this inequity for one of the nicest parks in Santee, if not the county. Litigation is expensive and we believe the settlement agreement is fair to both parties and to our residents.
"For the benefit of our residents, we elected to phase the rent increase in over four years, waive back rent and establish a program with the city that will insure that none of our residents will be displaced because of the increase. The Camerons were only looking for fair treatment under the rent control ordinance."
Upon the sale or transfer of residency, mobile home space rent at Cameron's will be adjusted by 15 percent for a new resident. At Meadowbrook a 10 percent adjustment is allowed.
The agreements note in a binding provision that the Meadowbrook park owners cannot file lawsuits for additional rent increases or seek them through the city for at least 20 years, and that Cameron's waives its existing claims against the city.
Had the cases not settled and Meadowbrook and Cameron's prevailed in court, rents could have increased to $1,125 at Meadowbrook. Cameron's had sought to increase rents by $557, to $914 per month.

Carrick refuses to bite when asked whether Manchester United are jealous of Liverpool's European success. But his response is telling.
"Seeing Liverpool in the final didn't bother me," he says. "It was more we felt we should have been there."
Sir Alex Ferguson is desperate to add a second European title to his legacy and his determination has transferred to his players.
"It was great to win the Premier League," Carrick told Metro. "It's okay to win the league one year and you want to keep that going over two, three, four years. Then you can say you are a good team.
"But you also want to win in Europe so you are seen as great. That's what we're aiming for this season."

The Donum Estate Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2007
Pinot Noir from Russian River, California
Winemaker's Notes
Our Russian River Valley terroir, Dijon clones and the 2007 vintage have combined to produce our most sophisticated version of this wine to date. Whereas 2006 brought substantial yields, tight clusters and big berries, 2007 saw heat during bloom producing shatter and shot berries giving us a light crop – half the amount of the previous vintage. Small berries and open clusters provided great fruit intensity. We knew 2007 would be a great year, and it came together with an ease and flow now apparent in the wines.
"This Pinot Noir shows great depth with wonderfully ripe black fruit aromas, a core of pure black cherry, and delightful hints of mushroom, spice and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is viscous and silky, weighty yet exquisitely balanced, with a wealth of luscious wild berry and plumy flavors throughout a bright, persistent finish."
- Kenneth Juhasz, winemaker
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "There's a pleasant zestiness to the wild berry and red cherry fruit flavors, with ripe, spicy elements and a bit of peppery tobacco, cedar and fresh herb notes. Full-bodied, with good intensity that persists through the finish."
The Donum Estate Winery
Since The Donum Estate's first release in 2001, Donum winegrower and founder, Anne Moller-Racke has remained committed to growing Pinot Noir based on a Burgundian grand cru model of estate farming. A Carneros grower for over three decades, Anne has worked alongside the industry's foremost authorities, including Andre Tchelistcheff, Dr. Phil Freese and Dr. Paul Skinner. As the caretaker for Donum's three estate vineyards - most notably, the 47 acres planted to heirloom and Dijon clone Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on Donum's 147-acre Carneros rance - her focus is on crafting wines that not only exhibit regional character, but also possess intensity, grace and power. With just a decade under its belt, Donum has secured a reputation as one of California's top producers of cellar-worthy Pinot Noir. View all The Donum Estate Wines
About Russian RiverView a map of Russian River wineries
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Cat Coalition faces the tireless task of providing care and feeding San Diego area's feline colonies while attempting to control a growing population
So, what can be done to curb the kittens? Local experts weighed in on common control techniques and possibilities for the future.
Trap-neuter-return: "My colony is a great example," said Stratton, colony feeder. "There were almost 85 cats in the beginning. Now, we're between 50 and 55. It shows that spaying and neutering is working."
Managed colonies: "Businesses like to see them because they keep rodent populations down," said Zapico, of FCC. "Several hardware stores have little cats in their garden centers — their little mascots."
Potential new laws: "Cats deserve the same well-being as dogs," said Redfern, of the Audubon Society. "Dogs can't roam free. Why can cats?"
Keeping cats inside: "In a perfect world, people would stop abandoning their cats," said Danielson, of Animal Services. "It's all about keeping a pet for life."

I followed that but any VRML files that I create end up with the dragon standing on its head in image and animated preview. I had to rotate the model by 90 degrees so that it would look "correct". The strange part is that any STL file I create doesn't have this problem with the "Z is up, model must face -Y" orientation. I also use Zbrush 4R5 to make the models and I use the plug-in called 3D Print Exporter to create the STL and VRML files.

What I found out was that thickness wasn't the only factor in the holes appearing in the auto-generated picture. It also has something to do with my decimation (I use Decimation Master in Zbrush). The cause of the problem was that I used the default 20% decimation suggestion. Of course this means lower poly count, but I guess it also made some parts of the model very thin and that's why when I increased the thickness in my first experiment, the holes disappeared. This time around, I tried 30% decimation along with the original thickness of 4. I was expecting to have holes in the model but was pleasantly surprised to find out that they've disappeared! The solution seems to be a proper balancing of thickness and decimation, at least if you're using Zbrush like me. I hope my findings would also help someone who's having a similar problem ]]> dragonsdesire 2013-03-11T00:09:31-00:00

Just right for Hrothgar and Differ and Aegir.
posted 6 years ago
I was at PetPeople and decided to get Hrothgar a new bed for the TV room. He is getting older and has trouble getting on the couch. So a nice big bed was what I wanted.
I found the Bagel bed in Chenille color of chocolate. I knew that would hide the hair since Hrothgar is choc lab mix. But at $149.99 I was not sure about the price. The manager told me they were on sale for 25% off. Okay, I got it.
I came home and the first one to dive into it was Differ. She thinks every new bed is for her. When I said, No for Hrothgar, he started to climb in and pushed Differ out.
Hrothgar loves the big bed. The quality of the bed is excellent and I now know it was worth the $149.99.
I have been thinking about getting a second one cause once in a while Aegir will get into the bed which means Hrothgar is on the floor or couch. But then again, Hrothgar is king and could just push Aegir out of the bed just like he did Differ.
Pros: well made, durable
Cons: price

Energized mall reopens Nov. 9
Offers new retail experience with eco-conscious backdrop
More News from Raoul J. Chee Kee
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
The Ayala Malls are gearing up for a busy holiday season starting with the simultaneous reopening of the new Glorietta in Makati and the opening of the Centrio Mall in Cagayan de Oro City this weekend.
For decades, Glorietta was at the crossroads of urban lifestyle with its wide range of shopping, dining and entertainment choices. When a portion of it was closed due to an accident several years ago, it lost some of its luster. Now, however, the newly energized mall is ready to take on a new generation of mall-goers with the same degree of retail experiences with the backdrop of a more eco-savvy urban paradise.
At the press briefing held recently, officials of Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) told members of the lifestyle press what visitors can expect at the mall.
"Apart from premiere shopping, Glorietta will also have an activity center to complete the experience for mall-goers," executive vice president Bobby Dy said.
"Even the act of entering the mall will be an experience for them especially if they enter via Palm Drive. We really want to elevate the consumer experience," he added.
Convenience for shoppers
The merging of convenience, variety and comfort was the blueprint for the new Glorietta. Its water feature that spans three floors, and the wood finish of the central walls were incorporated with environmental consciousness in mind. Meanwhile, the activity center will welcome natural light but block off heat.
"We always want to offer something new. Our customers are time-starved so we need to offer them convenience but in an aesthetically pleasing setup," ALI vice president and head of operations for commercial business group Rowena Tomeldan said.
To this end, a connecting bridge leading to the Makati Central Business District provides convenient access to the commercial center. There will likewise be interconnected basement parking and a strategic opening at Palm Drive.
Shoppers can look forward to new concept stores like Bershka, Stradivarius, Vince Camuto and Gant Shirtmakers as well as the flagship stores of Bench, Penshoppe, The Row and National Bookstore.
A series of weekend events and concerts has been lined up to coincide with the opening of Glorietta, including Feel the Beat with The Crew and Philippine All Stars on Nov. 9; a Christmas concert with Piolo Pascual and Zia Quizon, and Spectrum of Christmas Colors on Nov. 16; Pepe's Secret Christmas Ballet on Nov. 17; A Christmas show with Blake on Dec. 7; and a one-of-a-kind fashion show on Dec. 9.

Bought a KitchenAid Pro Series stand mixer from Sam's Club about five years ago. The transmission gears stripped. It is failry easy to replace but you need to replace the worm gear and the pinion at the same time. Make sure all the old grease is removed completely to ensure no old shavings reaming in the transmission housing. Also, if you have a fiberglass transmission housing, inspect the housing closely to indetify any hairline fractures and do not fill the transmission assembly with too much grease becasue you need room for the housing to breathe when the unit is in operation. If you fill the housing too much and tighten it, it "WILL" crack the housing. You want enough gree to keep the asssemnly lubricated but not too much that when you run the mixer that it expands and cracks the housing.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.

Members of Congress Seek Oncology Best Practices as First Step in Cancer Care Reform
WASHINGTON, June 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- U.S. Representatives Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL), Steve Israel (D-NY) and Mary Jo Kilroy (D-OH) have introduced H.R. 2872, the Medicare Quality Cancer Care Demonstration Act of 2009. H.R. 2872 is a bill that will authorize Congress to direct the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to implement the Quality Cancer Care Demonstration (QCCD) project.
The Community Oncology Alliance (COA), a nonprofit group of medical practitioners who deliver cancer care across the country, has been working with the 111th Congress for the QCCD project, described as the "architecture of a solution" to today's cancer care crisis. Health care reform is President Barack Obama's top domestic issue, and when it comes to cancer care, it is overwhelmingly critical.
The QCCD is a multi-phased project that involves medical providers collecting data and implementing a patient-centric program that rewards quality cancer care while controlling costs. The objective of the QCCD is to combine two critical patient enhancing components: treatment planning and end of life care.
"As we address the health care crisis in this country, we can't allow cancer care to fall by the wayside," said Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL). "This bill would expand the availability and quality of care for millions of cancer patients and is a step in the right direction in closing the inequities in the payment system. This bill will help ensure an adequate level of both early treatment and end of life care for patients facing cancer."
This national demonstration project would be implemented in phases by CMS. The QCCD would enable COA to assemble oncologists from practices across the country with advanced electronic medical records for cutting edge data to supplement Medicare claims presente

Ready for Mr. Right!
I am sincere, honest, good hearted, fun and playful. I like working out, shopping, movies, some tv, (American Idol my fave). I like most kinds of music, from hip hop to rock to easy listening....I eat very healthy most of the time. I love my job, and am always professional. I carry myself with class and live with integrity. Good character is the most important thing to me. I don't drink alcohol (never have), and have never tried a drug or a cigarette, ever. I don't need substances to feel content, confident, or happy. I don't mind if you drink socially, thats normal and can be enjoyable. I'm also very self reflective and looking for someone who is too. After all, communication is about honesty, knowing yourself, sharing who you are in a positive way to build a strong foundation. I know what I want. I am looking for a meaningful connection on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. I am looking for a relationship with a man who is experienced in relationships as well and is confident and takes the lead. I am very independent and can take care of myself. I have a solid career and am well educated and am a go getter. However, in the dating arena, I need to feel like a lady, which means...He emails me, calls, asks me out, takes me out etc. I have decided to be up front about this, since this seems to be an area where people differ. This is me so if you prefer this dynamic, I'd love to hear from you! If not, best of luck! There is someone out there for all of us :) I believe in God and am a spiritual person. The right guy for me believes too and to some degree, is spiritual as well. If you think we may be the right fit, you know what to do! Looking forward to hearing from you :) Random facts about me: I am a fraternal twin. I am allergic to cats and most dogs, (sorry pet owners :( Hypoallergenic breeds ok!), I LOVE music and sang in a choir most of my childhood life (but I'm not a geek :), I am very neat and organized, I do not like gossip or being amongst those who do, I believe in taking the high moral ground in all areas of my life, I am fascinated by nature but do not like outdoor activities like camping (unless I have showers, AC and electricity :) ), I am responsible with my money, my actions and words, my body and other people's feelings. If any of this piques your interest, and/or you feel we may be a match, I'd love to hear from you! I prefer one or two emails and then move on to phone and meeting. It's much easier to get to know eachother that way. Thanks! Friends and family are a big part of my life, but I am ready to make someone special #1! ****Very important-unfortunately this must be stated: Please don't contact me if: -You have lied about ANYTHING on your profile -You don't have a job and are not established -You are not ready for a serious relationship -You have nothing to say other than "hello" or "How are you?" I will not respond to thoughtless emails Thank you.

G-Speed Pro Review (in Progress)

I've had more of a chance to hit with mine in the last few weeks too and am still liking it.
Playing back to back with my old Speed IG MP 315 16/19 I noticed a slightly hollower feel with the Graphene Speed Pro on hard groundies. But after a while just playing with the Speed Pro you get use to or just don't notice it. It also feels slightly stiffer than the IG MP but not by much and I haven't had any arm problems.
But back to back it feels noticeably more manoeuvrable than the IG MP, particularly at the net, and so much more stable off centre.
As for groundies I'm finding I can hit some very hard and flat forehands very deep into the corners that just skid on. The first time I managed to really pull one off the guy I was playing against said it was like trying to chase down a flat 150kmh serve.
Spin is still surprisingly good for such a tight string pattern and it gives nothing away to the IG 16/19 maybe due to how easy it is to just whip the racquet head around.
Serving is a breeze and it is the control I am loving but still not giving much away in raw speed. With the factory string I was probably getting close to 190kmh on the hardest of my flat first serves and I've been able to get some deep second serves to kick quite high.
Another big test has been playing with my kids using the low compression orange and green dot balls. One thing I hated about the IG MP was that slightly off centre shots with the low compression balls would just die or be hard to control. With the Speed Pro I've found that it is so much easier to control and keep the ball in play, particularly when I have to volley wayward shots when playing the half court with my youngest son.
So after a month of playing with the Speed Pro after having tried a few different styles of racquets since returning to tennis last year I think I've finally found something that really suits me. Although no doubt similar specced 18/20 racquets like the Blade 98 and EXO Tour 100 would be good too.
Also I'd all but killed the factory strings I restrung it with some Sonic Pro 17 @ 50lbs a few days ago but have only hit with my kids since then. I've got some Sonic Pro Edge on the way that I am really looking forward to trying out as from some reviews it sounds like a perfect match for this frame.

first is concept for chr I'm working on, still working the costume as its rather "generic"
January 8th, 2010 #9
That's a sweetass horse you drew there. The anatomy is quite correct I would say, even if I haven't studied horse anatomy. =P
Also that char design...I may be misreading it, but his face (I'm assuming that's a boy) looks kinda girly. Unless that's what you're going for, in which case props. I'd say it's turning out fine so far.
That portrait...is it from reference? I love the detail you've put in it. It looks flat though, but I guess it is not finished.
By the way...who or what is Villppu?
January 12th, 2010 #10
yea he is suppose to be a bit androgynous although his body does not tell it as much,
and vilppu http://www.vilppustudio.com/redesign/index.htm in his store there is like a wealth of knowledge, currently going though the drawing manual series, pretty good stuff~

Wonder Woman is my favourite character (you should all know that), and I like all of her costumes, but I do like some more than others. Here is my list from favourite to least favourite:
Mod Girl
Deodato Biker Chick
This sort of goes from one extreme to the other. Although this one might be more functional than the traditional one, it is also a lot more revealing. This one comes from when she lost the right to be Wonder Woman and thus lost her tiara (which I wrote recently in another blog shouldn't have happened). What I like about this one is the colour scheme. Light blue is an underutilized colour in comics and it looks great here. Also tying into the Perez explanation she keeps the battle crest of Wonder Woman because its kind of her birthright.
Newest Version (600 reboot)
I wrote a whole blog on why I like this one. In short its functional and fashionable.
The Original
A lot of people on this site think that I don't like the original. That is far from the truth I still really like this costume. A big part of why I like it without thinking it is too revealing was the explanation of its meaning in the Perez arc 'Challenge of the Gods.' (issues 10-13 vol. 2)
Space Pirate
This was during a story arc in volume 2 and although it looks all right, is also kind of hokey.

I use this in the a.m., gives a nice, gentle clean. The scent is gender-neutral, fresh & not heavy - doesn't trigger my perfume allergies.It might be just a little TOO good - my husband uses my cleanser as face/bodywash/shampoo & loves it. PLEASE bring this out in a jumbo size!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Like many 'climbers' these days I might spend more time watching climbing movies than actually climbing. I was understandably excited to pop in Chuck Fryberger's latest offering, Core, to 'experience' climbing in the vivid detail only available on Blu-Ray. The picture quality and grade-A camera work is noticeably superior than any other climbing film I have seen, but that just lays the groundwork for the excellent content of this film. Core successfully captures the essence of the sport by showcasing top-end ascents in the various genres of rock climbing. Highlights include Nalle Hukkataival's V15 Livin' Large and Kevin Jorgeson's free solo highballs in the Rocklands of South Africa, Matt Wilder's first ascent of an R rated 5.14 in the Colorado's Flatirons, and BJTilden tugging on 5.14+ monos in Wyoming. But the film illustrates that big numbers and ground breaking ascents are not the only thing at the 'Core' of climbing. Chuck also weaves the aesthetics of the sport throughout every scene. Just as memorable as the hard climbing is the beauty of the environment itself. It's hard to say if it's the climbs or the climbers that play the starring role. The striking features, perfect stone, and the coolest single hold I have ever seen complement the people that give the sport life. The film summarizes with a slow-paced clip of the legendary Fred Nicole climbing on his home turf of Switzerland. Fred's Yoda-like musings are undeniably humble and sincere, the setting is idyllic, and the route is one of the hardest in the world. In the end, Core defines itself.

Gin Kings roll back Painters, seize lead
LA Tenorio hit five straight points in the stretch and helped Barangay Ginebra San Miguel pound out a 98-94 decision of Rain or Shine last night for a second consecutive win in the PBA Philippine Cup at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The last four of those points came in a span of just over 21 seconds as the Gin Kings erased a 93-94 deficit for a 97-94 lead heading into the final 16.5 seconds.
"We were blessed by God to come out with a win," Ginebra coach Siot Tanquingcen said. "We didn't play well at all. It's good that somehow we were able to squeeze out a win."
Gabe Norwood gave the Elasto Painters the lead for the last time at 94-93 by plucking an offensive rebound over Mark Caguioa and putting it back in in one motion.
It was the first loss in two games for the Painters, whose first win came over powerhouse Petron Blaze.
Norwood was called for a questionable foul by referee Jun Marabe on Tenorio with 16.5 to go, leading to two free throws that gave the Kings that one-point lead.
Caguioa, the reigning MVP, sealed the win with a free throw with 6.4 seconds left after Jeff Chan, who scored 10 straight points in one stretch of the fourth, missed a triple.
Earlier, John Wilson came off the bench to shoot 17 points and Niño Cañaleta contributed eight fourth-quarter points to lead Air21 to an 88-81 decision of newcomer Globalport.
Wilson scored 10 in the first period and the veteran Wynne Arboleda also struck hard in the final frame as the Express held off a spirited closing charge by the Batang Pier.
The loss was the second straight for the Batang Pier, who were led by former two-time MVP Willie Miller with 22 points.
The scores:
First Game
AIR21 88—Wilson 17, Isip 12, Canaleta 12, Arboleda 9, Custodio 8, Sena 7, Omolon 6, Atkins 5, Taha 4, Baclao 4, Ritualo 4.
GLOBALPORT 81—Miller 22, David 17, Deutchman 14, Manuel 9, Salvador 8, Lingganay 5, Mandani 2, Vanlandingham 2, Adducul 2, Raymundo 0, Guevarra 0.
Quarters: 24-24, 41-39, 65-60, 88-81
Second Game

Angels 7, Astros 2
Josh Hamilton turned from his locker and saw a group of reporters waiting to talk to him after Saturday's game against Houston.
''I'm not answering any questions about hitting,'' he said.
That was just fine after the defensive show the Angels' struggling slugger put on in Los Angeles' 7-2 win over the Houston Astros.
Joe Blanton pitched seven sharp innings, and Howie Kendrick and Chris Iannetta both homered to lead the Angels.
Alberto Callaspo and Erick Aybar drove in two runs apiece in a big fourth inning, but it was Hamilton who everyone was talking about. He likely robbed Houston of two home runs with his glove.
''Through this whole struggle on the offensive side with him trying to find his comfort zone in the box, he's played great defense for us,'' Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said. ''Great range, today he took away a couple home runs. Josh made them look easy.''
Blanton (2-10) tied season lows with three hits and two runs, pitching six scoreless innings before a two-run home run by Brett Wallace in the seventh.
He appreciated the work of Hamilton perhaps more than anybody.
''They were both great catches,'' Blanton said. ''Short field over there, he played the wall great, timed his jumps perfectly, made two outstanding plays.''
Kendrick's solo homer came in the fifth and Iannetta tacked on two with a home run in the eighth.
Houston starter Jordan Lyles (4-3) was done in by a four-run fourth inning by the Angels. He allowed five hits, four runs and walked two in four innings for his first loss against Los Angeles in three starts.
Blanton was perfect through 3 1-3 innings before a double by Jose Altuve. Altuve advanced to third on a wild pitch before a two-out walk to Chris Carter. Blanton escaped the jam when Hamilton leaped to grab a fly ball hit by J.D. Martinez at the wall in right field.
It was the second time Martinez hit the ball hard and came away empty. Mike Trout caught another drive from him on the warning track in left-center in the second inning.
Hamilton's second nifty defensive play came when he jumped and reached over the short wall in right field to catch a ball hit by Matt Dominguez in the seventh inning. Hamilton tumbled to the ground after the catch while Dominguez stood motionless and stared at him in disbelief.
He didn't think the first one would have been a home run, but was certain that the second one would have gone out. Hamilton, who joined the Angels this season after signing a five-year, $125 million contract, is hitting just .221 with 10 homers this season.
He was disappointed in a span earlier this season when he wasn't hitting well and he was struggling on defense.
''If you don't do it at the plate you want to do it in the field, and during that stretch I wasn't doing it either way,'' he said. ''I felt like I wasn't. But I feel better. Everybody keeps telling me to go out and play and have fun. Just relax.''
He did just that on Saturday, and said making plays like that ''are favorite things for me, more fun than hitting a home run.''
Mark Trumbo singled to get things going in the fourth inning. Lyles then started to struggle with control, plunking Howie Kendrick before walking Hamilton to load the bases. Callaspo's single scored Trumbo and Kendrick to make it 2-0.
Things continued to go downhill for Lyles when he hit Peter Bourjos with a pitch. Aybar's two-run single pushed the lead to 4-0, but he was out trying to stretch it into a double. Lyles finally escaped the inning when Trout lined out to Brandon Barnes in center field.
''I think it is one of those things where you try to make the perfect pitch, and you are falling behind and you try to make a better pitch and a better pitch and a better pitch. He could not get his fastball command back,'' Houston manager Bo Porter said of Lyles in the fourth inning.
Kendrick hit his ninth homer of the season to the seats in right field off Josh Fields with two outs in the fifth to make it 5-0.
Carter walked with no outs in the seventh before Wallace hit his first homer of the season with one out to the Crawford Boxes in left field to make it 5-2.
Bourjos bruised his right wrist when he was hit by a pitch, and he left the game in the bottom of the fourth inning. Trout took over in center field for Bourjos, and J.B. Shuck entered the game in left field.
Bourjos said he was sore after the game. Scioscia said he would have X-rays on the wrist as a precaution.
NOTES: Houston reliever Travis Blackley shoved Shuck when he tagged him in the back on a rundown eighth inning. He regretted the move soon afterward. ''I never try to be malicious toward anyone,'' he said. ''It was one of those things where the heat of the moment kind of got me. I don't mean anything by it.'' ... The series wraps up on Sunday when Los Angeles left-hander C.J. Wilson opposes Lucas Harrell. ... Someone from Houston's dugout yelled ''got it,'' causing Los Angeles catcher Hank Conger to let a foul ball he could have caught drop during Friday night's game. Porter wouldn't say who did it, but was unhappy with the incident and called Scioscia to apologize on Saturday morning. ''I apologized to him on behalf of our ball club,'' Porter said. ''It's not something that I condone, and I take full responsibility. It won't happen again.'' Scioscia wasn't that concerned about it. ''He called and I appreciated it but it's no big deal,'' he said.

For the first Earth Day in 1970 I organized my junior high to clean up the Elizabeth River. We wrote letters to our Congressman, we painted signs that said "Give us Back our River," and we removed six truckloads of garbage and debris. In all the years since we have continued to clean the Elizabeth River, and we have stopped the major pollution sources. But because of overdevelopment this river is still considered one of the most polluted rivers in New Jersey.
Forty years ago environmental threats were obvious. Rivers caught fire, including the Passaic, toxic chemicals were dumped on the ground, and noxious air pollution was choking us. The problems stared us in the face, so we took action.
In 1972 President Nixon vetoed the Clean Water Act. Later that year, on Earth Day, a half million people gathered outside the White House in opposition and months later he signed that legislation. The same year hundreds of thousands more people came together to help pass the Clean Air Act. These pieces of legislation moved the country forward by protecting our environment and pushing our economy, but they would not have happened without strong public support.
The environmental battles of 2010 are subtler. They take the form of a governor trying to streamline permitting or eliminate red tape. These terms have become euphemisms for cutting environmental protections. Or, a legislature that passes new programs but doesn't include money for implementation. Or, politicians who cut money for green jobs in the name of economic development. The sum of all these small jabs has resulted in a gradual erosion of environmental protections.
The irony of our times is that as more and more businesses and people "green" their homes and their businesses, the government is doing less and less to protect us. More people support environmental protections and are concerned about their family's health and future. But, in New Jersey we are seeing enormous cuts to clean energy and mass transit that will destroy two of the most successful programs in the United States. Simultaneously, we are privatizing toxic cleanups, rolling back drinking water protections and open spaces. At the federal level it is still easier to put oil rigs off our coast then windmills.
Earth Day has been co-opted, by some, into a holiday with less integrity. Today corporate executives will take off their suits and put on flannel shirts to plant trees around an incinerator that is poisoning a community. Cleaning up streams, planting trees, and talking to our neighbors are good things but we need to do more.
In New Jersey and across the nation we are at the most critical time within the last forty years. The power plants of the 1970s need to be replaced. Our society must invest in the next generation of our energy future. We will choose to continue investing billions in coal plants or instead develop an economy based on renewable and energy efficiency. Those decisions are being made in Washington and Trenton right now and the special interest are winning.
This is why we have to look back to the first Earth Day and take a lesson from history. Environmental victories result from mass movements. People are making personal choices to go green, but we have to move those choices to the political and activist arena. If we want to get strong climate legislation we need to bring together a million people in Washington D.C. In 1970 environmentalists targeted the 12 worst environmental congressmen, the dirty dozen. Seven of them lost, including leaders in the House. This event really proved the muscle for the environment movement at the time. If we want to stop politicians from raiding clean energy or open space money we need to call them until they listen and then hold them accountable for their decisions.
The only way environmental leaders or public health advocates have influence on the inside is by what we can do on the outside. Environmental progress comes from our ability to understand the issues and to rally public support.
Together we can move environmental protections forward through action. Real action means being involved politically, standing up for the public good, engaging our family, and staying vigilant.

The Gauteng ANC Women's League march on February 14, 2014 to the Pretoria Magistrates Court to commemorate the death of South African model Reeva Steenkamp who was shot by her boyfriend, Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius.
PRETORIA, South Africa - While a judge in South Africa works to determine whether Olympian Oscar Pistorius intentionally killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, some outside the courtroom have already made up their minds.
"Uyaya Ejele Oscar" or "Oscar is going to jail" sang members of African National Congress Women's League outside the court in Pretoria in the early days of the trial. They've been present in the courtroom every day since.
Many see the trial as a referendum -- played out in live television coverage -- on South Africa's ability to deal with an epidemic of violence against women.
Statistics compiled by the Medical Research Council at the University of Cape Town show that three women a day are killed by their domestic partners. Rates of "intimate femicide" – the term used to describe a category of murder – are five times higher in South Africa than the world average.
And a shockingly small percentage of those killings ever get to court, or are even investigated by the police, because in this still-evolving and still-violent young democracy few abused women file formal complaints.
"The class system makes a huge difference," according to women's rights advocate Nokykhanya Jele. "If you're poor you just don't go for help, and only partly because it's a half day's walk for many women to even get to one of the 120 police districts set up to deal with such complaints."
"The majority of women will have a harrowing experience with the police first, and thereafter the prosecutor," she added.
"You know you may end up dead, like that woman"
In one measure of how little confidence women have in the system, it is estimated that only one in nine victims of sexual abuse file complaints. And this is in a country with one of the highest rape rates in the world and a murder rate of 31.3 per 100,000 people, according to South Africa's University of Witwatersrand. Compare that to 4.7 murders per 100,000 in the United States, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
So what happened to Steenkamp resonates.
She had not complained of prior abuse by Pistorius, but the glamorous model and law student died at the hands of a man characterized by several trial witnesses as a hotheaded and casually irresponsible with guns.
Prosecutors allege that a violent argument sent Steenkamp screaming in fear to the bathroom where she locked herself in with her cellphone before four shots by Pistorius ended her life.
Pistorius maintains he shot her by mistake, believing it was an intruder in the bathroom and not the girlfriend who in a text message weeks earlier wrote: "sometimes I'm scared of you."
Though a verdict in the case is still weeks away, women at the Ikhaya Lethemba women's shelter in Johannesburg looked at what's known so far about the case, and said they fled abusive men just in time to avoid the fate they believe Steenkamp met.
In a mock courtroom set up at the shelter to prepare women for their own court cases, two young mothers talked about why the Pistorius case matters.
"It shows that [the court system] is not playing, that they mean business, that everyone should pay for what they do," said Rejoice, a young mother who asked that her last name not be used.
Marian, who says her abuser also raped her daughter, lived in fear before running to the shelter in desperation.
"You know you may end up dead, like that woman," she said, referring to Steenkamp.
Rejoice was just as direct.
"I am Reeva," she said. "But thank God I got saved. Thank God I didn't have to go down six feet under. I still have my breath, and I can stand up and get out of that situation."

Hi. I would like to add more volume to widen my lower jaw area. I feel my face lacks volume/width as well as vertical length. I would like to have jaw implants and a bigger chin implant or sliding genioplasty. do these surgerys seems reasonable on my face? thanks. I have previously had a medium sized chin implant placed as well as chin liposuction. This operation was about 11 months ago. I have also included two photos: one of a jaw implant that i like and the other of a sliding genioplasty.

Doctor Answers 1
Be careful what you wish for
I think that your face (at least in the pictures) reflects a nice soft balance. A sliding genioplasty is done instead of a chin implant. It can be advanced forward and augmented in a vertical plane but with some limitations.

Just blew through "The Long Walk" by Stephen King in about six hours today.
The book tells a story about a race that is set up between 100 boys where they start from the US Canada border and then walk South. If they fall below 4 mph they're warned, if they get three warnings and then fall below 4 mph again they're shot. The race goes on until only one person is left and that one person wins "The Prize" where they're granted every wish they want for the rest of their lives.
Book is primarily based on conversations between the people walking as they discuss their lives and why they're doing what they're doing.
Overall I enjoyed it.
Finished THE LOST SYMBOL and Dan Brown proves himself an excellent researcher and an average writer . Connecting the FREEMASONS to Washington DC(at least the ''secret'' DC) is NOT hard and can be found on a million websites .
Subject Material ==A
Writing skills ==C
Rereading American Gods -excellent work .
I am reading The Hours by Micheal Cunningham. It was the 1999 Pulitzer Prize winner for ficiton. It is part of my lifelong quest to read every single Pulitzer Prize winning ficiton book. Most of them have been excellent - well written with good stories.
However, I am not enjoying The Hours so far. It is one of the books that is well written without much seeming to happen.
Just finished "Columbine" by Dave Cullen. I actually kind of stumbled upon this book and picked it up kind of on a whim. I was in 6th grade when Columbine happened and thereby didn't really have a ton of recollection to draw upon when I was reading it.
Cullen's work really impressed me. Unreal level of detail through out the book and he really did a good job of remaining detached from taking a preachy tone. His journalistic background really showed through. Kind of reminded me of some of David Simon's books.
In terms of the book it brought out a lot of emotions, I went from being in awe of the level of detail that Cullen put into the work, to my skin literally crawling through out the descriptions of the massacre, to feeling literally sick to my stomach through out the descriptions of people missing out on the warning signs that Harris and Klebold left, the fact that the police didn't go in until 45 minutes after the attack had started, the misconceptions that were sent out through the media, the cover up by the Jefferson County Sheriff Department, and the attempts by various groups to exploit the tragedy for their own ends.
Overall while its not the most pleasant subject matter to read about I'd highly recommend the book. Cullen did fantastic work.
I just started reading "The Coming of the Third Reich" by Richard J. Evans, the first book of a trilogy about Nazi Germany. Given that the damn book is over 650 pages, it may be a while until I post another book review (unless I read another one at the same time).
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Coming-Third-Reich-Richard-Evans/dp/0143034693/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271994895&sr=8-4"]Amazon.com: The Coming of the Third Reich (9780143034698): Richard J. Evans: Books[/ame]
I just started Open, the autobiography of Andre Agassi. I'm a little surprised at how good a read it is. I don't know how much of it is really him and how much is a ghost writer, but it's very interesting, funny, and not a little sarcastic.

I HATE when i get to the campsite and blowing up the 2 air mattress's takes more time than setting up the tent. Doesn't bother me anymore. I have 2 Big Agnes mattress's and figured id take the gamble and hope this pump worked for them. FITS AND WORKS WELL!!! Super small, pretty darn light weight and most of all; saves me from getting light headed when having to blow up mattress's. The pump is very very quiet which will make it nice for the summer nights when im warm and in need of something to cool me down....boom...i now have a fan.
This pump will work just fine if you are not in a hurry. I bought it to air up my NeoAir Dream pads. I think the extra weight of the cover and foam insert inhibit the pumps ability air up the pad. However, it fills the XL pad in about 10 minutes and I firm it up with my own hot air. Buy this to be a trend-setter or just use a pump sack.
This item is a convenience. If you don't mind a few extra grams, it inflates a thermarest mattress in reasonable time. The device itself is light, but the batteries (2 x AA) carry a weight penalty. I cycle them with other devices to save weight, as this thing only gets limited use. The construction is just okay - it's only light plastic - so it needs to be treated with care. I don't expect it to last like some of my other kit, but then again, the cost isn't high. I've also used it as a hair dryer in the field... lol... scored me some laughs.
Unless, of course, you enjoy hyperventilating at need and enjoy that euphoric feeling while you slowly watch the world fade to black...Seriously though, this is a neat little gadget that adds very little pack weight. I've used it only a couple of times now, but I've inflated my Neoair a number of times by mouth on the trail. It's ok, but my two main issues are: in cold weather, you are putting moisture into the airpad, reducing it's RF factor, and the previously mentioned euphoria.It does take a couple of minutes, and I normally do put a little extra in by mouth to firm up the pad after this little gadget is done.It's also seriously fun to hand to someone who doesn't know what it is. When they open the door, it's startles them every time!
Just what I needed as I don't have much air left in my old body. Kind of pricey for such a little piece of material but worth it if it holds up. Have always been happy with Therm-A-Rest products, hopefully this will be no exception.
I'm a little ashamed of myself for buying this gadget, but I got tired of getting dizzy from hyperventilating while inflating my Neoair. It works to inflate the mattress 90% and I give a few puffs for a full mattress. Hope it lasts, it's a little fragile. I'll buy it again.
Tiny, light, and a big luxury on those days when you are crawling into camp. Takes a few minutes to get a Neoair large to about 90%, and on rechargeable Eneloop batteries it is enough for at least 10 fills if warm (2 AAA). Also, something like this (or a bagpipe style thing) is pretty much necessary in winter if you want to stay warm and well-inflated through the night vs. blowing up yourself. Props to Camptek (designer) and Thermarest for picking up and marketing this product...
