|FRELIMO. The guerrilla organization that fought the Portuguese in Mozambique from 1964 and formed the ruling party after independence in 1975.
|French and Indian War (1754–1760). A conflict between the American colonists and French troops and their Indian allies and one of just a few colonial conflicts to actually trigger a Great Power war (the Seven Years' War). It was precipitated by French fortification of, and American advances into, the Ohio Valley. One expedition was led by a young George Washington. Loss of the Ohio threatened French claims to the whole interior of North America, as well as historic Indian lands, leading many tribes to ally with France. The fighting widened with the dispatch of British troops to aid the colonists in capturing the French frontier forts and to blockade and bar French relief. William Pitt (the Elder) vigorously prosecuted the war after 1757, forming an alliance with the Iroquois Confederacy. Victories came swiftly: Fort Duquesne (later renamed Pittsburgh) fell in 1758, and the great fortress at Louisbourg in Nova Scotia, gateway to Québec and the great St. Lawrence riverine highway into the interior of North America, surrendered in 1758. England pressed to victory in Québec at the Plains of Abraham (1759) and Montréal (1760), and in the Caribbean, India, and lastly in Europe. The surrender of Québec eliminated the French as a military force in North America, three years before the larger settlement came in Europe in the Treaty of Paris (1763). That fundamentally changed the balance of power in the New World. It also set the stage for grave disputes between the colonists and England that would lead to the American Revolution. Globally, however, the French and Indian War was properly regarded as a mere adjunct of the far more general and important Seven Years' War.
|French and Indian Wars (1689–1763). A collective term sometimes used—especially by American historians—about the extended conflict between France and England and among American settlers and Indians spanning most of the eighteenth century. It was a minor adjunct to the much greater wars in Europe sparked by the ambitions of Louis XIV, then of Frederick the Great, and between the French and British empires on a near-global basis, notably in India. To American colonists, the conflict was mainly a war of defensive

We expect professional networking solution provider
EMC Corporation (
to beat expectations when it reports third-quarter 2013 results
on Oct 22, 2013.
Why a Likely Positive Surprise?
Our proven model shows that EMC is likely to beat the earnings
estimate because it has the right combination of two key
Positive Zacks ESP:
Earnings ESP
, which represents the difference between the Most Accurate
Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate is at +2.70%. This is
very meaningful and a leading indicator of a likely positive
earnings surprise for shares.
Zacks Rank #2 (Buy):
Note that stocks with Zacks Ranks of #1, #2 and #3 have a
significantly higher chance of beating estimates. The sell rated
stocks (#4 and #5) should never be considered going into an
earnings announcement.
The combination of EMC Corp'sZacks Rank #2 and a +2.70% ESP
makes us very confident in looking for an earnings beat on Oct
What is Driving the Better than Expected Earnings?
EMC is well positioned to benefit from incremental data center
hardware spending going forward. We believe that EMC's vast
product portfolio, which has products suitable for any kind of
budget, will boost its market share going forward. Additionally,
aggressive share repurchase will drive earnings going
Moreover, EMC revenues are expected to benefit from the new
mid-range VNX systems (pent-up demand), along with the refresh of
its backup and recovery systems and the increase in demand of
flash products in the second half of the year.
Moreover, the recently announced Project Nile is also likely
to benefit the company in the long run, although companies such
International Business Machines Corp. (
offer competitive products to grab additional marketshare.
Other Stocks to Consider
EMC Corp is not the only firm looking up this earnings season.
We also see likely earnings beats coming from these 2 industry

Sonics fall to 0-2
SEATTLE — The outcome was about as predictable as a superhero flick. The Sonics hung in there for three and a half quarters before the Suns just tightened up at both ends and ran away with the win. While the Sonics were looking for a go-to guy late, guys like Marcus Banks and Steve Nash and Grant Hill and Amare Stoudemire made sure to seal it on offense. Raja Bell did his thing to seal it defensively, coming up with a big charge call on Durant in the final three minutes. While you can't ask for too much out of Durant, he looked to be too passive in the second half. He had 18 at the half and sat on 22 for much of the final 24 minutes. He drilled a baseline jumper and a deep 3 from the top of the key to give him his final total of 27. He deferred way too much. At some point, though, he will learn to take over like he used to do at Texas. He tried during that brief five-point stretch. But that was all he had. For now, he'll need more help from his teammates. He'll still be a star.

I've started handing cards out as I'm looking to get some "Me Time" back in the studio again. If you've been handed one please take a look at some of the past shoots and get in touch.
I love attending these conventions and getting some shots of the Cosplayers. I'm still undecided as to which character I'd go as but have some ideas forming. I'd shot a single fisheye image last time, this year it was time to try a full 360. Thankfully everyone kept really still for the 4 exposures so there were very little stitching issues.
I'd got an OlloClip to test thanks to my friend Paul's review on ForbesLife minutes before. I wanted it so I could go more wide angle with my iPhone 6, as an alternative to the dSLR or G11. The clip can stay on my key ring at all times, so even if I pop out without photography in mind I've got a choice of lenses. It's got issues, the DoF isn't that great, but for the size and convenience it's great for simple snaps.
I returned to the spot a little later to see Claud and his companions packing away, seeing this sculpture being broken apart was heartbreaking, the marble eyes giving it a lifelike look that 100% sand wouldn't have.
Back at MCM Comic Con today I'd been wandering around without any particular destination and found myself back at the autograph table of Sarah Louise Madison. Sarah had said yesterday that she'd be sans hat today so I asked for another shot. A couple taken we had a little chat and something made me look to my right. I knew I was at Comic Con, surrounded by other whovians, by my inner voice still asked "No, it couldn't be, is it?". Yup, Steven Moffat was feet away looking at another table with his son. Sarah walked over and said hello. My inner voice screamed "Photo Op!". Sarah needed only the tiniest bit of convincing.
An "Excuse me please Sir.." from me to Steven and he agreed. Seconds before he'd declined an autograph to someone else on the grounds he was looking after his son so I'd been expecting a polite no. Maybe he agreed because it wasn't for myself? Regardless – Result! Thank you Steven for making the exception. This one's for you Sarah, I will check out Cops and Monsters! Keep doing what you do with Dr Who Steven, I'm looking forward to the Peter Capaldi years.
Don't get me wrong, I love doing my Google Maps Business View work (Street View inside), but having to blur faces always feels wrong. It's what we all use to greet each other, show our emotions. So when I took a break from work to see friends at MCM London Comic Con this Saturday I knew I'd be enjoying myself. Here's a few favorites and the gallery. If you're in one and want a copy feel free to get in touch. I'll be back Sunday, if you want a shot just ask.
1&2: The best headpiece of the show. This young lady and her father parked next to me in the morning, I didn't get to see the full costume until the evening. Awesome eh? 3: Like the idea of PREDATOR Dark Ages? I do! Check out @Predator_DA and see the teams first trailer.
4: Fellow Whovians DON'T BLINK! You may not recognise Sarah Louise Madison without her makeup but she's the lead weeping angel. 5: I loved how the blacks and reds of this photographers stop matched the black and red Canon theme. And just as I was about to shoot his daughter wanted in on the photo 6: these girls asked if I was taking photos for others and did I charge. Hell no, MCM is my time off the clock! Their father is a fellow Trekkie, apparently he likes shouting "Shatner!" to get the rest of the family to overact a little 7: Clive Double had these four acting out an attack. Gruesome! 8: Gary Nicholls blew me away with the steampunk artwork he's creating. A set of limited edition prints on aluminium.

While on a very short break with family to Holland to see my step son Laurence we spotted a number of forms of wheeled transport being used by the locals, much of it human powered. Thousands of bicycles, a few long board skate boards and the odd person on roller blades. I loved the fact that they all queued up in the cycle lanes. I was travelling light camera wise but had the G11 over my shoulder and realised what was going to happen just in time to get this shot. There had been a third person, a guy on a moped at the back, but he'd been impatient and jumped the lights leaving only the ladies. Looking back at what I'd seen it makes for a better image anyway as the two ladies are on the thirds lines.
Processed in Lightroom 5.
I've not been in the studio for what feels like a lifetime! IT Contract and Google Business Photos are keeping me busy all hours 7 days a week. Today I was reminded of a past shoot by a friend Stella. She'd come along with her photographer daughter Phoebe and had become my impromptu stylist. Stella posted a link to a video on my Facebook timeline with the message "See if you recognise anyone in this video…" The link was to Manchester bank The 1975's video "The City", a song that's getting a LOT of airtime on XFM in the UK at the moment.
Busy with some work but ready for a tea break I powered up my personal laptop and listened to the tune, only half watching while I checked out something on a clients server. Then my subconscious kicked in with a "You know her, that's Lucy!" (FB) and I had to rewind to the start. Get yourself a cup of something and have a watch 😀

Hi all I was in the ER this weekend with diagonised Placenta Previa. I was put on bedrest until further notice. The bleeding hasn't stopped and I was told to come back if I start showing signs of shock. I'm typically busy working with patients and it keeps my life very occupied. I'm so not use to having to sit all day in bed or my couch.
I've been either sitting outside in the backyard enjoying the bay area fall weather or laying on my couch or in bed. I have a wonderful husband who does everything under the sun to make me comfortable. I have a few questions....
1. Should we tell his family I'm on bedrest ..... he wants to so his sisters and mom can come over keep me company and take care of things for us (food and cleaning). I am not sure I want that though its hard enough having him do everything for me and stuff I'm use to.
2. What can I do with my time. I'm so bored with TV, and no offense but message boards are a bit catty especially when women have wonderful pregnancies.
Yesterday I had my husband cut some of citrus trees so I could "diagnosis" them because they had some weird growth on them.....(I'm missing work!).I spent hours researching citrus tree diseases and treatment. I'm lucky because he will do everything I want and need him to do but with so much time think I can think of so many things that need to be done....... I feel so guilty asking him to do it even though he doesn't mind.
3. How do I not feel so guilty.....
Yea this isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Hopefully I don't have to do this for another 26 weeks.

Satellite pix show one of these low pressures spinning into North Dakota, while the second one was beginning to lift northeast into Colorado from the four corners area. Showers/storms have been developing across northern Colorado and southeast Wyoming since around noontime. Convective organization has been pretty weak thus far. Latest HRRR shows convection continuing to overspread the area through the rest of the afternoon/evening with best severe thunderstorm threat associated with discrete convective mode south and east of the CWA. That said, there could be a few strong to marginally severe possible across the southern Panhandle. Although weakening, this activity will linger across the southern Panhandle well into the overnight and even Friday morning as the upper-low slowly wobbles towards the western high plains. May need to watch for pockets of fog development Friday morning, but wasn`t confident enough to include at this time. The low pressure area moves very little, located near the CO/KS stateline by Friday afternoon. Expect another round of more isolated shower and thunderstorm chances Friday afternoon, especially around the mountains. Temperatures will be cooler Friday with highs only reaching into the 60s with perhaps a few 70s in the western Nebraska Panhandle. Cooler temperatures will keep any severe weather threat at bay for Friday. Upper-low accelerates east on Saturday, with zonal flow taking its place across the CWA. Saturday will feature the first day of a weak warming trend that will continue through Memorial Day. Although there will be no significant systems passing through, warm surface temperatures will yield enough instability for another round of non-severe afternoon and evening thunderstorm activity. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 247 PM MDT Thu May 26 2016 No big changes seen in the Sunday through Monday time period with scattered mainly afternoon and evening showers and storms continuing over much of the area as an upper shortwave approaches from the west and weaker impulses eject northeast over the region from an upper low over the desert sw. Somewhat drier and milder weather looks to settle in over the CWA Tuesday and Wednesday as the northern shortwave closes off an upper low near the NW US/Canadian border and moves it slowly eastward through midweek. Associated surface cool front passes across the CWA Tuesday night bringing some cooler and drier air so expect less pcpn for Weds and Thursday...more confined to the mtns. Surface high moves into the central plains Weds night with return flow and warmer temps for the CWA Thursday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday morning) Issued at 1120 AM MDT Thu May 26 2016 VFR expected overall for all terminals this afternoon and evening outside of sctd showers and storms where brief periods of mvfr vsbys possible.

Issued at 247 PM MDT Thu May 26 2016 Will continue to keep an eye on the snow melt across Snowy and Sierra Madre ranges in the weeks ahead but based on current forecast temperatures this seasons snow melt is looking very steady. High temperatures around 10000 feet will be in the 40s to lower 50s through mid next week with lows mainly in the 20s to lower 30s which should keep the slow and steady snow melt continuing.

With 162 games to play, a major league baseball season is more like a marathon, rather than a sprint. A year in the life of a concrete producer is similar. How you handle business and its challenges day in and day out over the long-run determines success or failure.
Continued strong residential construction and an uptick in commercial spending let producers get a few hits in 2004. But there also were some challenges. If a producer didn't respond to those pesky cement shortages, he most likely would be charged with an error. And soaring fuel costs turned what would have been some robust doubles and triples into mere singles.
But when all was said and done, many producers hit home runs. The biggest hitters comprise THE CONCRETE PRODUCER's Fourth Annual TCP 100 survey of the North American concrete industry's largest producers.

Nestle's Coffee Mate to Work With Keurig Green Mountain
Nestle SA plans to make Coffee-Mate branded capsules that are compatible with Keurig Green Mountain Inc. machines in the U.S., bringing the world's biggest coffee maker onto a rival's system.
The two companies will start selling the capsules, known as K-Cups, in the U.S. in the fall, they said in a Business Wire statement today. The packs will come in original and French Vanilla flavors and include both coffee and creamer.
Nestle, which gets about a fifth of its $100 billion sales from java, has struggled to grow Nespresso in the U.S. The company this year introduced a new type of machine to appeal to Americans who prefer a larger cup of coffee than Europeans.
Today's move is an "example of Nestle looking to crack the U.S. single-serve market on multiple fronts after its Dolce Gusto system largely failed in a first step," said Jon Cox, an analyst at Kepler Cheuvreux in Zurich.
Nestle began selling its Dolce Gusto brand in the U.S. in 2010, several years after Nespresso's entry. Dolce Gusto can make more varieties of milk-based drinks.
Nespresso had about 3 percent of the U.S. single-serve market compared with Keurig Green Mountain's 72 percent, according to Euromonitor data cited in a Sanford C. Bernstein research report last year.
The global coffee market has been consolidating, with D.E Master Blenders 1753 BV agreeing this year to combine with the coffee business of Mondelez International Inc. That creates a headache for Vevey, Switzerland-based Nestle, whose coffee business has slowed of late amid an influx of private-label rivals in its core European market for Nespresso.

Controversy over Gabby Douglas' hair highlights ongoing debate
Gabby Douglas is a gold medalist and Olympian at 16 years of age.
That's more than any troll on Twitter can say for herself.
In fiction, a troll is a hideous, wicked creature lacking humanity. In the real world, they post unkind tweets about other people. The definition fits the people who decided to criticize American gymnast Gabby Douglas for having what they describe as unkempt, sweaty hair during the women's gymnastics competitions at the Olympics in London.
Never mind the girl was working as hard as her body would let her. Never mind she was twisting and contorting on the uneven bars, the floor exercise and her nemesis, the balance beam. Never mind she was perspiring, as any human will do when putting your body through such a workout.
And, sadly, many of those trolls appeared to be African American women. Sad, but not surprising. This is not a racist tweet trend. It's an example of black women digitally beating up a little girl whose star is rising.
Were they trying to be funny? And if so, why focus on her hair? Any black woman can answer that. It's the old war of "good hair" vs. "bad hair."
Among some African Americans, "good hair" is straight or slightly wavy, similar to the kind of hair on the heads of Caucasian people. "Bad hair" is tightly curled, kinky, or "nappy," and is the kind of hair found on the heads of many people of African descent.
The debate has gone on for years in the black community, but digital technology is making it easier to air this dirty laundry.
One of the first to report the Olympic hair hate was the online magazine SportyAfros.com, which was picked up by Jezebel.com and others. Monisha Randolph, a regular contributor to Sporty Afros, examined three of the main complaints found on Twitter:
"She needs some gel and a brush …"
"Someone needs to give her a hair intervention …"
"She has to "represent" …"
Stunned, Randolph wrote, " ... the last time I checked when you play a sport, you sweat. I know I do. And when a Black woman who has chosen to wear her hair straight begins to sweat, her hair will (not might) begin to revert back to its natural coily, curly or kinky state. Does Gabby need to stop every five minutes to check her hair? No."
Linda Jones of Dallas, who does not straighten her hair, is reclaiming the idea of "bad hair" and turning it into a positive. Jones is a journalist and the founder of A Nappy Hair Affair, which organizes grassroots hair grooming sessions that are known as Hair Days. She also is author of "Nappyisms: Affirmations for Nappy-Headed People and Wannabes!" Thursday morning Jones posted on Facebook: "I don't care if she was wearing a Mr. T Mohawk, Gabby represented for us all."
In a private Facebook conversation Thursday night, Jones told me her group's message goes deeper than hair. "It is to promote positive images of people of African descent. Gabby, our young role model, does that hands down.
"Whoever made those disparaging remarks about Gabby's hair while she was going for the gold, has bought pettiness to a new low. It smacks of jealousy to me — and also idleness."
At first, I was afraid that Douglas' brilliant performance at the Olympics might become just another chapter in the tired, old story about black women's hair.
But social media trends are brief, and backlash against the trolls soon took over. Thursday, as Douglas soared and jumped and tumbled and strutted to her gold, there were few criticisms of her hair to be found on Twitter. In fact, some of the original "haters" seemed to change their tune.
After Douglas won the individual all-around gold, an interviewer asked her what it all meant to her. She credited God, her family and endurance.
"Hard days ... that's where champions are made," she said.
Exactly, Gabby — in the gym, not in the hair salon.
Yvette Walker is night news director for The Oklahoman in Oklahoma City, and is the E.K. Gaylord Media Ethics chair at the University of Central Oklahoma. She wears her hair straightened — but does not castigate any woman who chooses not to.

A Grunt plugin to bundle one or more AMD packages into a single define statement. This means you can just require the bundle and get all the packages loaded via requirejs.
A Grunt plugin to bundle one or more AMD packages into a single define statement. This means you can just require the bundle and get all the packages loaded via requirejs.
This plugin requires Grunt
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-requirejs-bundle --save-dev
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named
requirejs-bundle to the data object passed into
gruntinitConfig 'requirejs-bundle': components: src: 'src/components/' dest: 'tmp/components.js' extensions: src: 'src/extensions/' dest: 'tmp/extensions.js'
requirejs-bundle task will enumerate all Bower packages (containing bower.json) in the provided src directory and build them into a single AMD statement.
define"package1" "package2" "package3" /*and so on*/
The path to the main javascript file is identified by the 'main' property in each packages bower.json, if this is not present then index.js will be assumed.
Default value: undefined
Paths of source files globbed in the src parameter can be treated as relative to this path.
Default value:
Packages that are bundled with this task are only included if their name matches this grunt filespec pattern.
Default value:
The AMD call will be called with this as the first parameter.
Default value:
Possible values:
'require' or
The requirejs-bundle task will emit either an AMD require statement or an AMD define. The default is an AMD require.
define"module-name" "package1" "package2" "package3" /*and so on*/
In this example, custom options are used bundle all the packages in the components directory into a single AMD module called 'my-components', the module is going to be compiled by requirejs with the baseUrl set to 'src', so we also set the 'requirejs-bundle' baseUrl to make the paths the same.
gruntinitConfig requirejs_bundle: src: 'src/components/' dest: 'tmp/my-components.js' options: moduleName: 'my-components' baseUrl: 'src'
Assuming we have a two bower packages (package1 and package2) in the components directory, the resulting AMD module will look like this:-
define"my-components" "components/package1/index" "components/package1/index";
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.

Global Positioning System Is an Asset Requiring Protection
Stanton, John, National Defense
Experts predict a $30 billion commercial market for GPS within next eight years
Every 12 hours, 24 Boeing Company NAVSTAR satellites travel the circumference of the earth relaying critical positioning, targeting and navigation data to military users ranging from combat vehicles in Europe to nuclear submarines patrolling the Atlantic Ocean.
Best known for their military performance in the rescue of Air Force Capt. Scott O'Grady in Bosnia in 1995 and the Persian Gulf campaign, this constellation of space vehicles makes up the non-terrestrial portion of the global positioning system (GPS) network that has dramatically changed the face and pace of military planning and execution.
With humble beginnings dating back to the Navy's transit system used to guide Polaris submarines in the 1960's, the Defense Department's GPS system has revolutionized much more than just military operations.
According to a National Academy of Sciences report, the commercial market for GPS services will approach $30 billion by 2005 making the military user base one of many customers for the system's services.
Essential Element
And so dependent has the U.S. economy become on the GPS network that Carl Andren of the Institute of Navigation predicts that "GPS will be the next utility, in many respects like an electric company. It is becoming an essential part of our economy and we rely on it in more ways than one might think."
Not as well known to the public, according to Andren, are the many civilian applications of GPS affecting agriculture, trucking, shipping, air travel, and construction where GPS is used to direct the blades of bulldozers, making grading accurate to within a few inches.
SAIC's Fred Koorey, director of GPS program, space and defense systems, describes GPS as "significant as the invention and application of the wheel. It is an enabling technology which is already having a profound impact on our daily lives and will ultimately be integrated into almost every aspect of the economy and the global military and economic structure."
Given the importance of GPS to commercial interests and military operations-and a simmering controversy over bandwidth allocation and signal availability-it is no surprise that in March, 1997, President Clinton adopted a national policy which declared that GPS will be used to "promote and guide economic competitiveness and productivity while protecting national security and foreign policy interests."
Equally unsurprising, as advanced as the GPS network is, it, as all advanced information networks, has ostensibly become a likely target for adversaries. As a result, navigation warfare or NAVWAR, once a little-known program, has risen through the programmatic ranks to achieve multibillion dollar importance as information protection, exchange and dominance on the battlefield and in the marketplace have become central concerns of U.S. national security policy.
Cross-Service Effort
Maj. Joe Lortie, USAF, chief of the navigation warfare integrated product team of NAVSTAR GPS's joint program office, said, "The NAVWAR program is a cross-service effort to define the warfighting aspects of GPS in a challenged electronic warfare environment that is envisioned in the 21st century battlespace. While the Defense Department is striving to optimize the inherent military utility of the system, it is equally working to ensure that U.S. government commitments to the civil and commercial communities, worldwide, are maintained.
"In short, the NAVWAR effort is focusing on increasing the robustness of its inherent capability while preventing adversarial use against U.S., allied and coalition partners within a theater of operations." The NAWAR effort is focused on improving the electronic warfare aspects of GPS, in particular, an anti-jamming capability"
There are two key elements of NAVWAR," said Koorey, "protection and prevention. …

It appears drivers are staying off the road for the most part as a complete closure of I-5 remains in effect.
"Drivers have done a great job of avoiding travel," said Heidi Sause, spokeswoman for Washington State Department of Transportation. "Southbound (Interstate) 205 has been pretty heavy for the past few hours, but it's still moving pretty smoothly."
Sause said other areas being "monitored" include State Route 500 near St Johns Boulevard, where traffic control signals will be adjusted to allow more time for traffic to maneuver through intersections.
"But those aren't problems yet," Sause said. "We're just watching those spots."
As of noon Saturday, WSDOT believes there have been no traffic accidents as a result of the closure.
Still, they are asking folks to pay attention to traffic controls temporarily setup along State Route 500.
"The way 500 is setup right now is to accommodate free flow of traffic off I-5," Sause said. "But a lot of drivers are ignoring the traffic control and they are turning left (in closed turn lanes) and that is really dangerous."
While State Route 500 is seeing the few issues, the department is seeing relatively clear lanes to the south on State Route 14.
Sause also said the road work being undertaken is "going smoothly" and, "if things continue to (go well) we may reopen early."
This story will be updated.
-Erik Hidle
Original Story:
Maybe you're a resident of Salmon Creek heading to Portland for this weekend's Rose Festival. Maybe you're in west Vancouver, thinking of heading north for a weekend getaway.
Thinking of taking Interstate 5? Forget it.
A complete, two-way closure of I-5 at Salmon Creek is under way. The shut-down will send tens of thousands of vehicles onto other freeways and local streets. The result may not be Carmageddon, but it could be sluggish out there.
The 54-hour closure began at 11 p.m. Friday, scheduled to continue until 5 a.m. Monday. It will allow construction crews to place 12 huge concrete girders over the freeway as part of the Salmon Creek Interchange Project, a $133 million effort to remake the northern convergence of I-5 and Interstate 205. The girders are part of new bridge that will eventually carry Northeast 139th Street up and over both freeways.
Southbound I-5 is closed from I-205 to Northeast 134th Street. Northbound I-5 is closed between state Highway 500 and I-205, meaning all vehicles traveling north on I-5 will be dumped onto Highway 500 unless they exit sooner.
The Washington State Department of Transportation began preparing for this weekend's heavy lifting well before the closure began. By Friday afternoon, six of the 165-foot, 175,000-pound girders sat on trucks lined along I-5, ready for action. Once they're unloaded, crews will deliver the rest of the girders from Tacoma this weekend, said WSDOT spokeswoman Heidi Sause.
WSDOT has also set up a camera that will post updated construction images to the project website every two minutes. The feed is available online at www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/i5/ne134thi205/.
As detours go, the best bet for pass-through traffic is I-205, along with state Highway 14 and Interstate 84 in Portland. Local travelers can try their luck on Highway 500 or stick to the local streets.
WSDOT has urged drivers to check travel conditions before heading out the door this weekend, or stay home entirely if possible.

After going to the Bahamas for vacation, Obama's kids Sasha and Malia go on ski trip in Sun Valley, Idaho – media scrubs story (again) – 5th vacation of the year
You can now count five vacations so far for the Obama family in just under three months to start 2013. It's good to be king, queen, and princesses. Obama's kids must have gotten tired of the Atlantis in the Bahamas. They were there last week for a Spring Break vacation. Now, they are in Sun Valley, Idaho on a skiing trip that again was reported by some media outlets, then quickly scrubbed, probably because Obama demanded it be so.
Lets review Obama's vacations so far in 2013:
January 6th 2013 – Obama goes to Hawaii for 9 days – wife and kids are already there from a separate flight in December
President's Day Week – Obama goes golfing in Florida with Tiger Woods, Mooch and the kids go to Colorado to ski (two separate vacations for a total of three for the year.)
Last week: Malia and Sasha Obama go to the Bahamas for 'Spring Break' and stay at the Atlantis Hotel and Casino resort.
March 29th, 2013 – Malia and Sasha Obama go skiing (I assume for the weekend) in Idaho.
Let them eat cake!
The Obama's – 'defenders' of the middle class.http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2013/03/29/after-going-to-the-bahamas-for-vacation-obamas-kids-sasha-and-malia-go-on-ski-trip-in-sun-valley-idaho-media-scrubs-story-again-5th-vacation-of-the-year/Latest Ramblings

This is my first pregnancy and my husband and I are SO excited, but I am a nervous wreck! I went to my first appointment today (from LMP I would be 5 weeks today) they took blood and they did an ultrasound that showed closer to 6 weeks and it took a while to find the baby (according to the tech). She said she saw a small heartbeat and everything looks good, but after all of the other U/S pictures I looked at, I don't see a yolk sack in mine like all of the others...Any ideas? I wish I could post the U/S in this message, but I have added it to my profile.
Thank you ladies!!

They know each other as neighbors and friends, and through business. In order to raise their working capital and better conduct their businesses, they have joined the micro-finance institution Soro Yiriwaso with whom they are on their third loan. The two previous loans have been properly repaid. This group of women is in the business of selling cosmetic products and incense with ROKIA as the leader of the group. She is the only woman seated in the group. With her loan, she plans to buy the main ingredients for making incense from wholesalers in Bamako. After making the incense, she makes her sales at the market and from home, for cash and on credit, to a clientele of women and men
She foresees making an annual monthly benefit of 60,000 FCFA which will be invested in the business and used to repay the loan.

Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I'm pretty familiar with using Adobe Flex & AS3, and compared with writing apps in JS/HTML I think it's very cool. However, since AIR is essentially a non-browser version of Flex with benefits like local storage, it seems to be competing as a cross-platform desktop application platform... and in that space it's much less mature than more established desktop technologies.
So what's the advantage of creating a desktop application using AIR compared to something like Java (or C++ using a cross-platform GUI library like wxWidgets)? Java's equally capable of communicating with the server for instance, I'm not quite sure what AIR adds when competing head-to-head in the desktop development world?

I started playing Platinum a few weeks ago, and didn't realise how good the Sinnoh starters were! It was actually a tough call as to which one to go for, unlike in most generations. But, in the end, I went with the ol' reliable Fire type and chose Chimchar. And wowzers is Infernape good! It's one of the few starters that I haven't gotten rid of during the game, which is a testament to just how good it is. And partially because of the dearth of Fire-critters in Gen IV... but that's neither here nor there!
As for SoulSilver, I'm not a massive fan of any of these starters, with Meganium and Feraligatr being two of my least favourite starters. By that logic, Cyndaquil was always going to be my pick, even if Typhlosion is kinda boring in comparison to most of the other Fire starters. Except Emboar... ugh!

The month of June is usually not that active for tropical storm formation but one system becomes named an average of once every two years. There has been little tropical activity so far this month but an area of disturbed weather has developed in the western Caribbean over the past 24 hours. The system will move over the Yucatan Peninsula on Friday night and Saturday so development is not likely for the next 24 hours. The system should emerge over the southern Gulf of Mexico by Sunday afternoon and there is a possibility some development could occur at that time.
The overall tropical outlook continues to indicate a near normal season of 10 named storms, of which 6 should become hurricanes and 2 intense hurricanes with sustained winds of 111 mph or higher. Those numbers would be much lower than what we've seen over the past several years. Of course, the total number of storms don't matter as much as whether one decides to hit our area. We should know the answer to that over the next few months.

|Ethan Nadelmann, DPA: "The War On Drugs is a cancer in our society"
Nadelmann will be interviewed one-on-one by Maher at the top of the show, and will discuss the War On Drugs and the movement to end marijuana prohibition, according to the DPA.
The topic is quite timely, as there was an avalanche of media coverage in June about the failed War On Drugs:
• The Global Commission on Drug Policy (Kofi Annan, the former presidents of Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil, Richard Branson of Virgin, etc.) made worldwide news by calling for an end to the War on Drugs.
• June 17 was the 40th anniversary of President Richard Nixon declaring War On Drugs. This generated yet another wave of coverage denouncing the Drug War.
• On June 22, Reps. Barney Frank and Ron Paul introduced federal legislation to end marijuana prohibition.
Described by Rolling Stone magazine as "the point man" for drug policy reform efforts, Ethan Nadelmann is a prominent proponent of legalization.

Global Gov't: This year's climate change report by the World Bank is a frightening screed filled with warnings of apocalyptic doom. Doesn't this organization have anything better to do than to needlessly scare people?
The World Bank was established in 1944 as a "facilitator of post-war reconstruction and development." That job done, it now has a "present-day mandate of worldwide poverty alleviation."
In taking on that burden, it has assured itself it will never fade away, because as long as there are humans, we'll have poverty, which guarantees that World Bankers will always have jobs trying (but never succeeding) in lifting the poor through means that continuously fail.
World Bank President Jim Yong Kim got it half-right when he said, "We will never end poverty if we don't tackle climate change." Poverty has always been, and, unfortunately, always will be part of the human condition. The World Bank will never end it.
But he's got it 100% wrong about the importance of the World Bank tackling climate change. If it doesn't, nothing will be lost. But if it does, lots is locked in. Policy changes to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions, which the World Bank supports, will be costly.
The Stern Review, for instance, says that taking greenhouse-gas emissions back to 75% of 2007 levels by 2050 could cost as much as 3.5% of global GDP. That review says a 1% gain is possible, but the more-likely scenario is a 1% loss in global GDP. A revised estimate says the loss will be 2%.
The argument, of course, is that those losses are small when compared to the much bigger losses that will occur due to global warming. But what those larger costs will be are, at best, a poor guess. We have yet to experience the climate change disasters that were predicted. Nor have the temperatures, which have actually been falling, reached the scorching heights we were warned about.
Yet calls for carbon taxes and cap-and-trade policies are in favor among governments.
A carbon tax, which is inexplicably supported by some on the right, is not a cost-free solution. In fact, it's not a solution at all. Consider Australia 's carbon-tax regime. Greg Sheridan, foreign editor of the Australian, convincingly wrote some months back that his country's carbon tax is "environmentally inconsequential, economically costly, administratively nightmarish."
Meanwhile, the carbon tax in Canada's British Columbia is "an expensive, ineffective and unpopular failure," according to B.C.'s daily Internet independent The Tyee. And it's the same in Great Britain.
Peter C. Glover, writing in the Canada Free Press, said earlier this year that the British carbon-tax scheme is "an abject failure." "It has actually had zero impact on Britain 's carbon footprint which, during the tenure of green taxes, actually saw emissions increase by 20%."
Fact is, the poor — those the World Bank says it's in the business to help — are hurt more by carbon taxes than the middle class and rich because they spend a higher portion of their income on energy. They're also harmed more than the middle and upper classes for the same reason when carbon-trading schemes are implemented.
But the World Bank is a political organization and its decisions are based on the political fashions of the day, not rational analysis. And today's popular politics demand a religious belief in the speculation that man's greenhouse-gas emissions are heating the planet to intolerable levels.
A quarter of a century ago, James Bovard of the Cato Institute wrote that "although the bank started with the highest ideals," it had by the late 1980s devolved into an organization that helps "Third World governments cripple their economies, maul their environments and oppress their people.
"It now consistently does more harm than good for the world's poorest."
Things haven't changed much for the World Bank since 1987. It's still breaking whatever it puts its hands on. The biggest difference is that 25 years ago, it couldn't use the global warming nonsense as a wrecking ball.

Anyone have any idea why the high volume? If it's not the Openheimer news what else could it be?
It's a more disciplined market (no new crazy comers like in Brazil). Basically you have two competitors: Indega (Panamco) and Ardila Lulle (local brands and Pepsi). Margins are not incredibly high but there are no price wars or drastic increases in marketing expenses.Panamco would love that all its markets were like the Colombian market: stable, profitable, oligopolic. However, room for growth is limited given that they took over 100% of Coke's operations and market share is already quite high.
Still think that latest upgrade was a catalyst. Calls some attention to PB at a time when people are leary of the U.S. market and weakness in the techs, especially. PB's retaining most of yesterday's gain despite overall weakness in the market. And, as you said, volume is up.
Yeah OK, maybe someone actually reads Oppenheimmer research (I don't). Be aware guys that this Sunday there will be parlamentary elections in Colombia and they could be messy (read news today about massive military losses yesterday). Colombia is 25% of PB's revenues.Keep in mind that PB is a macroeconomic play given the extremely close correlation between per capita consumption of carbonated drinks and GDP. My advise is that you should add to your positions in case there is any temporary weakness in PB.
