BMI View: After considerable tender delays in the first half of 2013, the infrastructure sector has sta r ted to pick up momentum again with the awarding of large road projects. Though the Colombian construction industry has been highly volatile in the last decade, the government continues to push ahead with necessary infrastructure investments, primarily in the transport sector which continues to represent the highest proportion of infrastructure projects. This is a priority for the government in order to reap the benefits of its growing mining industry and improve the competitiveness of its exports in general. Having been dubbed the 'engine for development' by the government , we believe Colombia's construction sector will see a strong real growth of 5.49% in 2013 .
|Forecasting Stable Growth
|Construction Industry Value (US$bn), Real Growth (%)
Emphasis On Roads To Support Exports Competitiveness
Improving transport infrastructure and especially roads is a top priority for the government in order to benefit from the booming extractive industry and the increasing number of FTAs. Following delays in the tendering process, the government's fourth generation concessions ('4G') package has finally started to pick up momentum as confirmed by the recent announcement of the concession of a US$718mn road project in the north of the country. The unprecedented number of expression of interest proposals for this project (22 in total) indicates that confidence in the market has returned, boosting the country's appeal to investors. Road & bridges infrastructure industry value is forecast to account for the majority of infrastructure value in 2013, at 41.6%, and is expected to experience annual average real growth of 6.8% between 2013 and 2017.
The increasing number of trade agreements that the country has recently signed will add significant pressure to the transport infrastructure in order to support export competitiveness. Apart from the US, Colombia has also signed a trade deal with South Korea, numerous agreements with China, it is undergoing negotiations for a trade agreement with Japan and it is pending approval of a FTA with the EU. The most recent announcement is the Pacific Alliance framework that Colombia signed with Chile, Peru and Mexico in order to target the Asian Market.
Minerals Still Outweigh Guerrillas
Colombia is already South America's third largest oil producer, after having nearly doubled oil production over the last few years. It is expected to reach its target of 1mn barrels per day (b/d) in 2013, and we anticipate this to increase further. In order to do so, the Colombian Oil Association is estimating the need for a minimum of US$120bn in investment over the next decade, highlighting vast opportunities for construction players in the field. In the oil & gas pipelines sub-sector alone, we forecast average annual real growth of 12.1% between 2013 and 2017.
However, accompanying these rewards are significant risks. Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) still represent a significant threat to both infrastructure and people. Most recently, on March 14 th 2013, the FARC was reportedly involved in an attack blowing up the rail line of Colombia's largest coal exporter, Cerrejon (a joint venture between Anglo American, BHP Billton and Xstrata). Despite undergoing peace negotiations talks and the significant weakening of the FARC by government security forces so that insecurity no longer represents a systematic threat to the state, the risk of violence still persists. Given that the FARC have been known to target infrastructure and energy assets, this threat could deter investors from participating in the operation of assets, and potentially undermine the attractiveness of the concession packages.
|Supporting Infrastructure Demand
|Colombia Oil Production And Real GDP Growth
Regional Pick
Yet another factor to be added to Colombia's prospects is its attractive business environment. From a regional perspective, Colombia ranks third after Chile and Mexico in our Risk/Reward Ratings. Indeed, just as the Colombian oil industry has been attracting increased foreign investment, other governments in the region, including Venezuela and Argentina, have implemented policies with significant deterrent effects on foreign investment, including numerous nationalisations.
Coupled with strong economic growth prospects - BMI forecasts real GDP growth of 4.3% in 2013 - and sound economic policy making, Colombia has largely over-performed throughout the crisis. In fact, Colombia has been powering ahead, overtaking Venezuela in terms of GDP, and is now in the same zone as Argentina; yet contrary to the latter, Colombia is expected to trend upwards. Hence, we believe a major expansion within Colombia's extractive resources could see a significant demand for new capacity and better quality infrastructure.
Addressing Corruption
Despite economic growth, free trade agreements, and a regionally attractive business environment we continue to highlight that concerns over transparency and government institutions could dissuade some investors. However, a concerted effort is being made to stamp out corruption in awarding tenders and this is encouraging for future improvements. The creation of the new National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) in 2011 and the PPP law have the potential to propel infrastructure growth in the country by offering a better project design, more effective implementation and greater protection for private investors. In addition, the government has started to implement the OECD Transparency Mechanism for contract procurement. In order to increase transparency and efficiency, this mechanism identifies the stages in the process that are vulnerable to acts of corruption and suggests timely measures to correct them.

Is anybody else super excited for AC3 just like me?
When I first bought and played Assassin's Creed I couldn't put it down, I collected all the flags and got everything perfect in time for AC2 to come out and with it came a whole knew experience in Italy as well as different features in battling and climbing and everything was improved.
I'm hoping they don't make any major changes to the overall gameplay.
I know they've redesigned the engine from scratch so that will be interesting.
So, What did you or didn't you enjoy about the Assassin's Creed games and do you think the designers could fix them and how?
What are your expectations for the upcoming Assassin's Creed 3 game? Do you hope there is a complete overhaul in the mechanics?
Do you enjoy the continuing storyline of Desmond over the course of the games?
This thread should be about anything and everything Assassin's Creed. Post away! Answer my questions, ask your own, do what you want let's see where this goes.

A gas station attendant was arrested after police said he sold Spice in an undercover investigation.
Police arrested Amritpal Singh, 21, 8140 Brave Place, Apt. 5, Indianapolis, on two charges of dealing marijuana after police said he sold Spice, a synthetic marijuana, at a Bargersville gas station.
Singh's arrest is the first for the Johnson County Sheriff's Office in a case involving someone selling Spice, Sheriff Doug Cox said.
Investigators have purchased the synthetic drugs in other cases, but the items did not contain any substances banned by state or federal law, Cox said.
Police received a tip in October that someone was selling Spice at the gas station, according to a police report.
Singh was working as a clerk at the station at the time.
Police purchased Spice as part of an undercover investigation, and police later took 34 packets of Spice from the gas station, the report said.
The substance was sent to a state laboratory for testing, and the test results showed the product contained XLR11, an illegal substance, the report said.
Singh was taken to the Johnson County jail, where he was being held on $6,000 bond. The Johnson County prosecutor will decide what, if any, charges to file.

It's About Relationships, Not Food!January 25, 2011 • By Ondina Nandine Hatvany, MFT, Eating & Food Issues Topic Expert Contributor
Click here to contact Ondina and/or see her GoodTherapy.org Profile
Beginning in infancy, relationships, food and feeding become intertwined. Think about it: Baby cries and baby gets fed. Someone has to do that feeding, and that someone is usually holding the baby and relating to him or her. So, from our earliest memories, food and being fed is one of our first ways of connecting to one another. As we grow and develop, social events often revolve around mealtimes; whether it is family dinner or a social gathering with friends, we are enjoying the nurturing that food and company can provide.
With the eating-disordered population, however, the connection between food and relationship can become a troublesome link. When there is a lack of safe, connected, nurturing relationships in an individual's life, food and food rituals can easily become a substitute.
As Susan H. Sands, PhD says:
"It is now generally accepted that eating disorders serve essential self-regulatory functions. The disordered relationship to food has been viewed, essentially, as filling in for a missing bond with a self-regulating Other."
(Sands, S. H. The subjugation of the body in eating disorders. Psychoanalytic Psychology, 20(1), 103-116. 2003)
What exactly does Sands mean? Let's take the first phrase:
"It is now generally accepted that eating disorders serve essential self-regulatory functions."
What does it mean to self-regulate? Most of us have learned how to emotionally self-regulate; for instance, if we are upset we find ways to calm down. The ability to calm or self-soothe is usually learned in relation to a calming and soothing Other. For example, when a child falls down and hurts her knee and is crying, Mommy picks her up and comforts her. But what if Mommy doesn't do this? What if she yells at the child and blames her for being so clumsy? Then the child has to turn elsewhere for soothing. Here is where turning to food in order to self-regulate or self-soothe can begin.
I have yet to meet someone suffering from an eating disorder who does not also suffer from a relational trauma, by which I mean that the person grew up without the experience of a caregiver being attuned to them and their needs and acting as a source of comfort when they were stressed or hurt. The caregiver was either absent or blaming and generally not attuned to the child. As Susan Sands so eloquently puts it: "The disordered relationship to food has been viewed, essentially, as filling in for a missing bond with a self-regulating Other."
Let me illustrate the above ideas with some client stories:
Emma was a 21-year-old client who had grown up being her mother's main support in a dysfunctional marriage. Dad was absent and not very involved in her life. Her mother was lonely and turned to Emma for a shoulder to lean on and someone to talk to, but the conversation was always about her mother and her mother's needs. Emma had little experience of her mother being there for her. So, Emma learned how to have few needs or none at all. She identified with being a caretaker and had little awareness of her own needs. This dynamic also played out with food. Emma would cook meals for her mother but she rarely ate a full plate herself. By the time she was 16 years old she'd been hospitalized for anorexia.
Betty was addicted to compulsive binge eating.Her nightly ritual was to binge on chips or ice cream while zoning out in front of the TV. She had experienced mostly neglect growing up with an overwhelmed mother and an alcoholic father. There was never any room for Betty and her needs. She learned how to take the need out of her relationships with Mom and Dad in order to preserve those relationships. Later, when she became an adult, food replaced her need for friends and relationship. She started to gain a lot of weight and then was too embarrassed to go out. She became stuck in a self-reinforcing loop.
The good news is that both Betty and Emma healed and overcame their eating disorders and in doing so, they also found that their relationships improved. As they began to acknowledge their needs and find healthy ways to take care of themselves, they also began to develop more nurturing relationships. As my client so succinctly put it: "It's about relationships, not food!"

Great article!! I will share with my friends
jackson fernandezJanuary 25th, 2011 at 4:57 PM
food is a very important aspect of our lives and it is no surprise to know how close it is interweaved into our daily activities and our relationships with other persons.
OliviaJanuary 26th, 2011 at 5:33 AM
It is all about obtaining balance in you life. When one area of your life the other parts are bound to be too. But it is just like the two females in the case study. When they were able to get their addictions to food under control that is when everything else in their lives began to fall into place too. You have to discover a way that is right for you to have everything balance out because when one area of your life is in trouble it is almost for certain that there will be issues elsewhere too.
EmmaJanuary 26th, 2011 at 7:36 AM
I have a cousin who turns to chocolate whenever she's upset and as a result of her chocolate-munching habit,she is not exactly in good shape,if you can call it that.And now when she sees that not many men are showing interest in her and she is single,she gripes about it and munches more and more chocolate because she is so upset about it!I've tried telling her that the solution is to go on a weight-loss and munching more is not going to help.But she just can't seem to control!
GILLIANJanuary 26th, 2011 at 1:30 PM
Although food is essential to life, just like everything else, even for food too much is too bad. And I would like to add that most often these excessive 'cravings' that people have are for junk food or some unhealthy food. It's like a double strike for your health!!!
KJPJanuary 27th, 2011 at 5:43 AM
When food is your only comfort that is a prescription for ruining your life. Find comfort in friends, family, and activities that you enjoy.
runninfastJanuary 28th, 2011 at 5:46 AM
Many over eaters have been using food for comfort for so long that most of them have forgotten that there are other ways to take care of the ups and downs in life. Overeaters are constantly struggling with the same emotions that all of us have, yet they bury them with food. It is a quick fix in the same way that a drink is for an alcoholic or a hit is for the drug addict. But nothing about this is a healthy lifestyle. It takes more than "willpower" to break any addiction, And with the added disdain that overeaters face because of their outward appearance most of the time it makes it even harder to break the cycle of addiction. Think about the damaged self esteem and the mean comments that they have had to hear for much of their lives. I don't know how anyone ever breaks free of that.
Ondina HatvanyJanuary 28th, 2011 at 9:12 AM
Just a word that it's not about controlling your food and weight but learning and dealing with the underlying issues. For instance in my 2 client examples when Betty and Emma realized the underlying issues and started to address them they got better. The problem is rarely about the food or weight. Simply trying to control these areas is not going to bring freedom from the relentless battle with food and weight. As for Betty and Emma when they started to address their underlying emotional needs their struggle with food and weight ceased.
KikiMarch 8th, 2015 at 10:37 PM
Not all people diagnosed with an eating disorder have "caregiver" problems. Mine is from the bullying I received as a child, about my glasses and it slowly turned to my weight. My parents are great, and when I finally told them I had problems, they immediately got help for me. It's not always the caregiver, I just needed to point that out.
Ondina Nandine Hatvany, MFTMarch 9th, 2015 at 10:11 AM
I agree Kiki having an eating disorder is not always due to problems with the caregiver; to use therapy terminology eating disorders are more likely to develop when there has been "attachment injury" and in your case this happened with you peers. Creating strong attachments is the best way to deal with eating disorders. By strong attachment I mean having dependable, nurturing bonds and a sense of belonging (with caregivers, peers etc.)
Thank you for your excellent commentary!

The European Union strives to be a global leader in press freedom but faces challenges from member states that have criminal defamation and blasphemy laws, and have introduced counterterrorism measures, including mass surveillance. The EU has made press freedom imperative in negotiating with candidate countries, but has been accused of failing to take strong action when member states renege on their press freedom commitments. Journalists working in the region are also affected by EU laws and policies, such as the trade secrets directive and access to information regulations. A special report by the Committee to Protect Journalists]]>
The European Union describes itself as a model for press freedom and an exemplary global power. Although many of its 28 member states feature at the top of international press freedom rankings, there are significant challenges that undermine press freedom and new threats are emerging.]]>
At a U.N. press conference on April 27 to launch CPJ's annual publication Attacks on the Press, CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon called on the U.N. Security Council to include in its May 27 debate on Journalist Safety a warning to states that they should not use national security as an excuse to jail, harass, or censor journalists.
The last three years have been the most deadly for the press, according to CPJ research. One of the reasons is the developing "terror dynamic"--non-state actors targeting journalists with violence while governments restrict civil liberties and press freedom in response. This phenomenon was amply documented in essays published in this year's edition of Attacks on the Press.
The book, which emphasizes reporting and analysis by CPJ staff and outside experts, features essays on multiple threats facing the press: the conflict in Syria, where freelancers and local journalists must adapt to an environment in which they are targets; terror and criminal groups, in countries as Syria, Nigeria, and Mexico, which document their own atrocities and disseminate them through social media; and crackdowns on the press in Ethiopia and Egypt, where governments use the threat of terror to justify repression. Several essays in the book also look at the impact of surveillance in more democratic societies, including those in Europe. The book also includes CPJ's list of the 10 Most Censored Countries.
The print edition of Attacks on the Press is published by Bloomberg Press, an imprint of Wiley, and is available for purchase.]]>

In a sharpening of Twitter's mobile focus, it has bought the start-up Cover, reports the Wall Street Journal.
The company makes a (beta) app that lets you determine which applications are shown on the home screen depending on where you are ("Automatically see different apps at home, in the car, at work, and when you're out.").
Yoree Koh writes:
The acquisition also reinforces Twitter's mobile-first approach. Over 75% of Twitter users access the service through their mobile devices. As more and more apps compete for the user's attention, Cover's acquisition could help keep Twitter top of mind.
The announcement of the acquisition was made in a Cover blog post.
Twitter, like Cover, believes in the incredible potential of Android. They share our vision that smartphones can be a lot smarter — more useful and more contextual — and together we're going to make that happen. We'll be building upon a lot of what makes Cover great, and we're thrilled to create something even better at Twitter.
So what does this mean for the Cover app? For now, Cover will remain available in the Play Store while we focus our attention on our work at Twitter. If that changes down the road, we'll provide another update here.

The heart behind this wine country wedding? It's simple, really. In the words of the Bride, "Every detail of the wedding took a cue from our relationship. Not overly traditional or noisy or busy, just a simple, classic celebration with our favorite people on earth." That's a vision we can wholeheartedly get behind, and when that day happens to be photographed by Sylvie Gil and filmed by Morocco Lee, you better believe we'll happily welcome the entire gallery into The Vault.
From the Bride… Life is full of uncertainties, but when it comes to Justin and my relationship, there are a few things that have never wavered. Most notably, our love for one another and our love for wine. So when he surprised me at my doorstep on Christmas Eve with a proposal, we immediately went to work planning our dream wedding in Sonoma Valley.
Eighteen months later, we were saying 'I do' under two gorgeous, old California Oaks on top of Boot Hill at the Kunde Family Estate, surrounded by the valley, the vines, and the overwhelming love of our family and friends. Every detail of the wedding took a cue from our relationship. Not overly traditional or noisy or busy, just a simple, classic celebration with our favorite people on earth.
We knew our guests would be traveling in from all corners of the world, so we planned a weekend of events for everyone to get to know one another and experience some of our favorite spots in wine country. We loved that by the time the wedding rolled around, new friendships had formed and we could all just enjoy the moment together. Not to mention, a few glasses of wine!

US wins Walker Cup, routing Britain and Ireland
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. Nathan Smith won the deciding point in the United States' 17-9 victory over Britain and Ireland in the Walker Cup on Sunday, beating England's Nathan Kimsey 4 and 3 in the fifth singles match at historic National Golf Links of America.
The United States, ahead 8-4 entering the final day in the biennial amateur event, split the four morning foursomes matches and won seven of the 10 afternoon singles matches.
The event, first played in 1922 at National Golf Links, is named in honor of former USGA President George Herbert Walker - President George H.W. Bush's grandfather and President George W. Bush's great-grandfather. George W. Bush attended the matches.
The U.S. leads the series 35-8-1. In 2011, Britain and Ireland won 14-12 at Royal Aberdeen in Scotland.
"It's something I have been wanting for a long, long time, particularly after we lost in 2011," U.S. captain Jim Holtgrieve said. "I was hoping I would get a mulligan for `13 and when I knew it was going to be at National Golf Links, which is where it all started, I wanted so bad to come here. Yes. I wanted to win, but I wanted to do something good for golf and this, to me, was truly good for golf."
The 35-year-old Smith, a four-time U.S. Mid-Amateur champion from Pittsburgh, won the par-3 13th and par-4 14th with pars and ended the match with a halve for bogey on the par-4 15th.
"This ranks at the top of the list," said Smith, who has played in the Masters four times. "I never wanted a point so much in my life. This means the most. I'm happy for Jim. Nobody deserves it more than him and loves the game of golf and put more hard work into a team than him."
Alabama teammates Bobby Wyatt and Justin Thomas, 45-year-old South Carolina high school teacher Todd White, California's Michael Kim, Oklahoma State's Jordan Niebrugge and Stanford's Patrick Rodgers also won singles matches.
"It took a long time to get to the matches, but once I was there, it seems like it just went by real quick," Kim said. "And you know, winning is great, but to win with these other nine guys who, you know, I've known for a while now, it's special. And to represent your country is always an honor and something I'll never forget."
England's Matthew Fitzpatrick and Callum Shinkwin and Ireland's Kevin Phelan won their singles matches. Fitzpatrick, a freshman at Northwestern, won the U.S. Amateur last month.
"They adapted to conditions a little bit better," Britain and Ireland captain Nigel Edwards said. "The greens changed and there were very, very severe pin positions. They holed out a little bit better and I would say the short shots into the green, the distance control, that's where they outdid us. When they did hit it over the back they got up and down and we didn't."
Wyatt beat England's Neil Raymond 4 and 3; Thomas routed England's Max Orrin 6 and 4; White topped Wales' Rhys Pugh 4 and 3; Kim beat England's Garrick Porteous 4 and 2; Niebrugge pounded England's Jordan Smith 6 and 5; and Rodgers edged Ireland's Gavin Moynihan 1 up.
"They all focused together," Holtgrieve said. "They all played together. They all worked together and they helped each other with their games. There were no individuals. It was a team."
Fitzpatrick beat California's Michael Weaver 3 and 2; Shinkwin edged Alabama's Cory Whitsett 2 up; and Phelan beat Max Homa, the NCAA champion as a senior at Cal, 2 and 1.

A spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service said, "Everything is going good so far" as fire crews continue to battle a sprawling 242,000 acre wildfire along the Georgia-Florida line.
Jim Caldwell says the blaze is now 30 percent contained in Florida and firefighters have been successful keeping it in check despite winds gusting to 25 miles per hour.
Officials say any help from scattered showers and thunderstorms that were forecast could be offset by lightning sparking new fires.
About 570 Florida residents have left their homes and some schools have been closed. Officials say more evacuations may be necessary.

Horrible audio via bluetooth 09/13/2013
This review is from: MEElectronics Air-Fi AF32 Black/Gray Stereo Bluetooth Headset w/ Hidden Microphone
Comfortable, easy to setup, fairly good looking
The audio quality over bluetooth is shockingly bad. It's not a hardware problem with the headphones-- they sound great when wired in. It's just over bluetooth. Clearly not acceptable for music, and I really wouldn't want to make a phone call with them, either. It's that bad. Fwiw, I'm using a slightly older iMac running Apple Bluetooth Software Version 2.4.5f3... I can only hope, for everyone else out there, that's it's something wrong on my end.

Pros: price, number of USB ports, long battery life(especially on power saver),easy to add RAm/change the hard drive.I wa sable to play civilization smoothly on this and for the price I am surprised. I actually bought a new ASUS x501a-who1 that had a better processor but it was hard playing civilization on it. I retuned it and much happier with this laptop.I have never had a problem with Compaq, i have had three before this and since it is a generic HP it gets all the HP software, but you dont pay for the HP name.
Cons: i dont mind, but it is a rather brad design and the keyboard take a few minutes to adjust to. but neither are big deals.
Other Thoughts: I would recommend this any of my freinds or family.

.- The Discovery Channel has threatened to take legal action against the Mumbai-based Catholic Secular Forum (CSF) for claiming that the channel had decided not to broadcast the controversial documentary "The Lost Tomb of Jesus." The channel sent the CSF legal notice on March 6, reported the Indo-Asia News Service.
The Catholic group had claimed that the channel pulled the documentary from its line-up after it, along with several Christian groups and leaders asked management not to broadcast the film.
"Media reports have erroneously claimed that Discovery Communication India has withdrawn the television program 'The Lost Tomb of Jesus' as a result of pressure from a local religious group," the channel said in a statement. "This assertion is false and inaccurate."
"Discovery Communication India had never scheduled the telecast of the program in India, as demonstrated by our program guide, monthly press kit and website," it said, asking the CSF as well to refrain from making false and misleading statements.
CSF general secretary Joseph Dias told UCA News March 8 that they "have not gotten any legal notice," and that he learned about it from the media. The Catholic group said it stands by its statements.

World War I lasted from 1914 to 1918. It was known at first as the Great War and the War to End All Wars. It was the largest war that the world had seen up to that time. Most of the battles took place in Europe and the Middle East. More than 8 million soldiers and sailors died, and more than 20 million were injured. The war was so bad that many people thought no one would ever start another war. However, the results of World War I helped to cause World War II, which broke out in 1939.
- World War I - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
A major international conflict fought from 1914 to 1918, World War I was the most deadly and destructive war the world had ever seen to that time. More than 25 countries eventually participated, aligned with either the Allied or the Central powers. The Allies-who won the war-included primarily France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and, from 1917, the United States. The Central Powers consisted mainly of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). World War I felled four great imperial dynasties, in Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey. It led to revolution in Russia, destabilized Europe, and laid the foundations for World War II. (For a chronology of events for World War I, see World War I Chronology.)

Dear Experian,
I disputed items on my credit report and they were deleted by the other credit reporting companies, but not Experian. The results say it was considered verified. How is it possible that there are different results? I know that these are errors. What steps should be taken?
