We are used to each other na rin. Of course, the character helps a lot.” Reid and Lustre are Read More …

Benhur Luy (MNS Photo) MANILA (Mabuhay) – The Sandiganbayan Fifth Division on Monday seized the USB flash drive of pork barrel scam primary state witness Benhuy Luy, which supposedly contains files that detail the involvement of several lawmakers in the multi-billion peso scam. “For the meantime, let this USB be in the possession of the court,” Fifth Division chairman Associate Justice Roland Jurado declared at the continuation of the hearing of former congressman Edgar Valdez’s petition to post bail for a plunder case. Jurado made the decision after Luy admitted in open court that he has a back-up copy of the files contained in his external hard disk drive saved in his USB. Composed of over a thousand pages, Luy’s external hard drive allegedly contained spreadsheet files, soft copies of vouchers, receipts, photos and other documents that supposedly detail the transactions of alleged scam mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles with several lawmakers. Records of the amounts of kickbacks the lawmakers, including Valdez, allegedly received from Napoles in exchange for allocating their Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel to her alleged fake foundations were also supposedly in the hard drive. Luy said the files in his 16-gigabyte USB were the same as those contained in his 500 gigabyte external hard drive, which he had turned over to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and which has been used by the prosecution as evidence against several officials charged in the scam. Luy said that upon the advice of his former lawyer, Levito Baligod, Read More …

Check out the new Prius for highest fuel economy of any vehicle without a plug at Hooman Toyota TORRANCE, Calif., – In its fourth generation, the Toyota Prius is set to take on new markets with groundbreaking environmental performance, a stylish new design, and a fun-to-drive spirit. Today, Toyota is proud to unveil the technological advances that enable its hybrid flagship to break the mold while still remaining true to form. Toyota has made significant improvements in its new generation full hybrid powertrain, reducing losses, redesigning and relocating key components and reducing weight. Extensive changes to the transaxle, engine and combined hybrid system, generate an expected 10 percent improvement in EPA estimated MPG on core models, with an Eco model that will achieve an even greater improvement. Engine with Unprecedented Thermal Efficiency The new Prius retains the established 1.8-liter VVT-i gasoline engine, however, the engine has been completely re-engineered, with remarkable results in terms of performance, fuel economy, and reductions to size and weight. The new engine achieves a ground-breaking maximum thermal efficiency of 40 percent. This improvement was enabled in part through the use of a large-volume exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system and improvements in combustion efficiency. Additionally, a redesigned air intake port improves airflow inside the combustion chamber, while the coolant passages have been redesigned to optimize internal engine temperature. The friction created by the piston skirts, rotating parts and the oil pump has been reduced, while the use of low-viscosity oil reduces friction between sliding engine components. Read More …
