THE Court of Appeals (CA) has shot down yet another temporary restraining order application against the anti-graft order that preventively suspended two city mayors and 17 others for their alleged participation in the Asean summit lamps mess.
In an order signed by Associate Justices Pampio Abarintos, Priscilla Baltazar-Padilla and Stephen Cruz, the Cebu-based 20th Division of the appellate court found no urgent or compelling reason to grant one to the petitioners.

The petition was filed by Director Roberto Lala and eight others, all of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPH) regional office, and was filed last April 4.
Lala, Assistant Directors Marlina Alvizo and Gloria Dindin, regional legal officer Agustinito Hermoso, department heads Luis Galang, Restituto Diano Buena-ventura Pajo, Cresencio Bagolor and Pureza Fernandez argued that their preventive suspension was invalid.
The smoking lamp is lit
The Ohio Veterans of Foreign Wars won the right to light up in their posts re cently, but that doesn't mean that they should start blowing smoke. Bill Seagraves, the VFW's state commander, seems to agree. He said he would urge the VFW's 428 posts to establish smoking and nonsmoking spaces inside. The Ohio Department of Health made an understandable call when it decided to exempt nonprofit private clubs from the ban, as long as everyone present is a member, including employees. Anti-smoking advocates aren't pleased, and we can understand their disapproval. Ohioans voted overwhelmingly in November to outlaw smoking in public spaces. But the VFW is not a public place when it serves as a meeting hall for members only. And when it does have a public event or has youngsters 18 or under present, the new rules say cigarettes and cigars must go out, said health officials.

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick helps launch myenergystar.com's energy efficiency campaign called "Start Small, Save Big" by overseeing the changing of the 1000 lightbulbs at the Statehouse from incandescent to compact fluorescent lightbulbs saving taxpayers money and helping the environment. Boston, Mass. (PRWEB) April 20, 2007 -- Issuing a proclamation calling on all Massachusetts citizens to make reductions in the amount of energy we use to collectively reduce global warming, Governor Deval Patrick took a step towards energy efficiency by changing the bulbs in his own office from incandescent to Energy Star-qualified compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) and kicked off an afternoon of light-bulb changing throughout the State House.

Seoul Semiconductor Unveils Warm White Acriche of 42 lm/W
SEOUL, KOREA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/19/07 -- Seoul Semiconductor (KOSDAQ: 046890), the country's leading LED producer, announced today that Acriche, the world's first semiconductor lighting source for AC power outlets, can now achieve warm white of near-daylight quality, making it suitable for general and indoor lighting applications. The warm white Acriche features 42 lm/W based on light source. Actual System Efficiency -- which takes into account luminous efficacy, ballast efficiency and luminaire efficiency -- for the warm white Acriche is 39.9 lm/W. This is higher than 7.5 lm/W for incandescent lamps and 30.6 lm/W for compact fluorescents. Warm white Acriche is a suitable replacement for DC-LED lighting. Compared to conventional warm white DC LED which has a luminous efficacy of nearly 35 lm/W, the warm white Acriche at 42 lm/W is 20% more efficient.
