Egypt - Apply for a Banking Business license
Banking is a rapidly growing industry in Egypt.The Central Bank of Egypt has not issued a new commercial banking license since 1979. Currently the only way for a new commercial bank, whether foreign or domestic, to enter the banking business or market (except as a representative office) is to purchase an existing bank.
Central Bank of Egypt is apparently reluctant to license new domestic banks as it regards the number of existing ones large enough for establishing a competitive market.
As part of its 2004 plan to restructure the banking sector, the government has sold shares in several joint venture banks to foreign banking entities.
There are 3 state owned commercial Banks in Egypt(Banque Misr, Banque du Caire, National Bank of Egypt) and these three banks control at least 40 percent of the banking sector's assets. The rest are private commercial banks; Commercial Bank of Egypt is the largest, controlling the majority assets of the industry.
All specialized banks are state owned and are assigned the task of providing long term finance for real estate, agricultural and industrial development.
Despite strict government regulations through lending quota, bond buying, windfall tax and increased capital requirements, banks are reporting strong profit and paying high dividends.
The proper licensing and supervision of banks and the banking system in Egypt are under the National bank of Egypt of the Banking business Law no 88 of 2003 (the "Banking Law"). The National Bank of Egypt was established in 1957 by Banking LAW NO. 163 OF 1957.

Waking up this morning
Your scent is in the air
I've been trying to
grasp it
That we've gone our seperate ways
I'm standing at the window
Searching for mistakes
Why you have left me?
Things will happen
But I can't confess
To describe my conditions
To recognize my
I promise you to change it
My morbid jealousy
Give me one
more chance
I wanna be close to you, baby
I wanna be near to you
I wanna be next to you, baby
I wanna be close to you tonight
If I have one more chance
To prove my love to you
I will do
it right this time
Together we'll make it through
Don't do the silly
Don't make the same mistakes
That I made years ago
You said that you need me but you used to use me
So now your
time is up you're cryin' how you miss me
I remember the time when you used
to be my cutey
Every single head turn 'cos girl you were my beauty
would do everything to keep my baby from harm
I would cuddle up at night
and keep little toes warm
You said my love was too strong and get it
- Close To You (03:23)

Drink Coffee to Help Chicks N Chaps in Missoula on Wednesday!

I don't know about you but I might need two drinks tomorrow after hearing about this!
See you at the track!
It may seem simple, but ice can play a huge role in how delicious your drink of choice is.
We feel good passing this kind of information along simply because of the over abundance of snooty scotch drinkers and whip cream, cotton candy, foo foo vodkas on the shelves as of late. Montana's most popular beer is Bud Light...and our most popular hard liquor is none other than Jack Daniel's.
It's looking like this weekend is shaping up to be the first real shot of spring weather we're going to get this year. As far as I'm concerned, this calls for a celebration. What better way is there to do that than by kicking back in a lawn chair, soaking up the sun and sipping on a refreshing spring beverage.
You might think "Why do I want to leave my couch and go to Caras for this?" Well, there are several great reasons I like to sum into three important catagories: Food, drinks, and prizes!
This Father's Day, dad doesn't want a fancy cocktail created by some ironically mustachioed mixologist wearing armbands and smelling of patchouli oil. He wants a man's drink. A drink that's mostly booze.
Hey, did you notice it's summer outside? It's time to start working on that "beat the heat" thing, and since the neighbors gave us weird looks when we just held a hose over our head during the hottest hour of the day, we're thinking lemonade might be the way to go. Sure a tall glass of classic lemonade sounds good, but why drink that all summer long, when you can add stuff to it like tequila? Or other fruit. But also tequila!
Of course champagne is at the top of the list. You just can't have New Years without champagne. That would be like a Christmas without eggnog
Truth be told, this is just regular Kahlua. However, it is the holiday season. My good friend and co-worker found this delicious recipe and gave it to me...

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hello, that thank you for allowing me to assist you.
Who owns the house, and whose name is XXXXX XXXXX electric bill?
I see that the house is owned jointly ... so I take it that you're both on the deed.
Since your husband is an owner of the house, then he does have a right to take the box off the house without your consent.
When two people own property together, either has a right to take action without the consent of the other.
If the two people disagree about how to deal with the house, then they need to get rid of the property (i.e., one or both sell their share).
Even though you're married, the same principle applies.
If one of you does not give in, then the only answer is to split and live separate.
(and maybe divorce)
Since your husband already took action without your consent, then the ball is in your court as to what to do.
You can attempt to take charge, get the box back on the house, and get your husband to accept it and move on with life.
If he does not, and he will fight having the box there, then you'll either have to (1) deal with having no electricity, or (2) move out.
If you choose (2) and move out, then that open another can of worms with regard to whether you wish to divorce.
I'm sorry to give you this news, as I'm sure this situation is quite distressing.
The idea of moving out to get electricity is probably overwhelming at the moment.
So for that, I am sorry. However, please understand that it would be unfair to you (and unprofessional of me) to provide you with anything less than an honest response.
Does that answer your question?
We both own the house. The deed to the house is in both names. My husband
We both own the house jointly. Both names are XXXXX XXXXX deed. My husband's name is XXXXX XXXXX electric bill, however, I have been paying the bills and have the cancelled check to prove it.
Can the Dept. of Health and Human Services be of any help to me? If I can't afford to leave my house and move elsewhere is it possible they can make a case that someone can't live w/o electricity, especially if the bills have been paid?
Is this the end of our chat?

Taste and Odor in Drinking Water
August 18, 2016
City of Houston
Department of Public Works and Engineering
Public Utilities Division – Drinking Water Operations
What is in the water that has caused the recent change in taste or odor?
We have detected increased levels of geosmin and MIB in our untreated surface water supplies and these substances are known to produce earthy or musty taste or odor in drinking water. Geosmin and MIB (2-methyl isoborneol) are naturally-occurring compounds sometimes produced by seasonal algae blooms. The substances are detectable by the human nose even at very low concentrations.
According to the Water Research Foundation, "There are hundreds of types of algae, but only a few produce chemicals that make water taste or smell unpleasant. When algae die, they release compounds. Two of the more troublesome by-products are MIB and geosmin. Both produce an earthy/musty taste. MIB mimics the smell of fresh dirt; geosmin is the compound that gives beets an earthy odor. Neither is harmful to people." (AWWA Water Research Foundation, 2006)
What is the City of Houston doing to remedy the issue?
Since MIB and geosmin are naturally-occurring, they will naturally diminish in the upstream water supply with time and weather changes.
How are you monitoring the situation?
We are taking additional water samples to better understand and track the levels of these substances, as well as maintaining our standard program of sampling and testing to assure that our drinking water is safe.
What if it does not naturally clear from the system?
Conventional water treatment is ineffective for removal of geosmin and MIB. Treatments such as powdered activated carbon (PAC), ozonation and biofiltration have been effective for removal of these compounds. However, the City of Houston system does not have treatment technologies that effectively reduce these taste and odor causing issues.
What can I do at home?
According to the Water Research Foundation, water is safe to drink when MIB and geosmin are present, but it may be unappealing when there are taste and odor problems. You can improve the taste and odor by refrigerating a pitcher of tap water. Additionally, standard home water filtration systems that contain carbon should mitigate the taste and odor of these substances.

The AUSC will have 5% more efficiency than the existing thermal plants and help in 12% savings in coal thus reducing the overall amount of carbon dioxide emission, Dr SC Chetal, director, Reactor Engineering Group of IGCAR and a distinguished scientist told PTI.
A joint effort of Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) and National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), the Advanced Ultra Supercritical power plant will be the first such indigenous plant, he said.
BHEL is a state-owned engineering and manufacturing enterprise while NTPC is a state-owned power generating company.
"At present there is no AUSC plant operating in the world and we will back the first indigenous AUSC with strong research and development (R&D) with IGCAR's expertise in design, materials and manufacturing technologies of the fast breeder reactor," Mr Chetal said.
Presentation of the project has already been made to prime minister Manmohan Singh and "we are waiting for the approval for R&D funds which is expected to come soon," he said.
Of the total cost of Rs7,000 crore of the project, Rs2,500 crore will be spent on research and development and public sector units, sources said.
IGCAR, BHEL and NTPC signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for AUSC system in August last year.
The advanced ultra super-critical boilers, to be designed and developed by IGCAR, will be able to operate at a pressure of 300 kg per sq cm and 700 degree centigrade temperature, Mr Chetal said.
This kind of very high temperature and pressure will improve the steam cycle efficiency, which in turn means that for a given electrical output there will be less consumption of fuel (coal) and less release of carbon dioxide, he said.
After developing this technology, India will be one of the leaders in the world in terms of thermal power plant technologies, the scientist said.
"Once we are able to built and operate the AUSC, it is possible to decrease the cost of the coal-fired supercritical thermal plants in the country," he said.
The existing supercritical plants use imported technology. A large number of operating plants in the country (BHEL-NTPC) are of subcritical type running at 170 kg per sq cm pressure and 540 degree celsius.
Recently, India has introduced supercritical thermal plants-of 660MW and 800MW running at 565 degree Celsius in the mainstream line and with a supercritical pressure of 250 kg per sq cm.
India is planning to have 58 units based on supercritical plants from the 12th Five Year Plan onwards. But these plants are being built under foreign collaboration with large import content.
"Therefore, taking the step of building one AUSC plant and establishing in the country, it will be possible to reduce the foreign import content and thus reduce the cost of the plants," Mr Chetal said.
New Delhi: State-owned exploration and petroleum major Oil and Natural Gas Corporation on Sunday said it will repair the pipeline that caused an oil spill some 80-km off the Mumbai coast in 4-5 days, reports PTI.
"The line is expected to be repaired and normal flow restored in four to five days," the company said two days after the leak was detected and plugged.
There are "no visible signs of oil slick on the sea surface near the site of pipeline leakage," it said, adding, "However, two Coast Guard vessels are at site for surveillance and monitoring."
ONGC resumed oil production from its Mumbai High fields by using an alternative sub-sea pipeline hours after the production was halted due to a leak in Mumbai Uran Trunk crude pipeline on Friday.
The company said operations at oilfields were nearly normal and that the fields were presently producing at the rate of 300,000 barrels per day as against normal level of 320,000 bpd.
ONGC's multi-support vessel 'Samudra Prabha', equipped with repair assessment facilities and divers had located the leakage point.
"The most probable reason of leakage is fouling of the anchor wire rope of a construction barge working in the vicinity, with the sub-sea valve assembly of Mumbai High Trunk (MUT) line," ONGC said.
"Cleaning of the area with high pressure jets is underway to ascertain the extent of damage. All the required material for repairs is available on board multi-purpose support vessels (MSVs). The line is expected to be repaired and normal flow restored in four to five days," it added.
Is it becoming a trend to use the premium payment term as a backdoor entry for 'cover continuance'? While flexibility is the proposition for the new FLEXI Fortune plan, the ticket size for a 10-year policy term is high and so are the charges for longer-term policies
HDFC Life was the first to announce a flexible premium payment term facility. Now, Max New York Life (MNYL) has come up with its own flexible features like life cover, policy term, investment strategy and of course the premium payment term.
MNYL has packaged all this in its new 'FLEXI Fortune' ULIP, that appears to be yet another case of a backdoor entry of 'cover continuance', which was apparently eased out by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) under the new rules for ULIPs in September 2010.
FLEXI Fortune offers a life cover of 10/20/30 times annualised premium, policy term options of 10/15/20 years, seven investment fund options, and a flexible premium payment term of 5 pay/10 pay/15 pay.
According to Abhinav Rahul, vice-president - corporate communication, Max New York Life Insurance, "If a policyholder takes a 20-year term policy, under the terms of the policy the premium payment term cannot be beyond 15 years. After 15 years, the policy will not be discontinued, even though there is no premium payment. The funds remain invested in equity/debt and insurance cover continues from year 16 to 20. Moreover, the plan has a 'settlement option' wherein the policyholder can decide to extend the policy term by a further 5 years. In this example, the policyholder can extend the term from 20 to 25 years and still remain invested in equity/debt from year 21 to 25."
The plan also has a 'Progressive Auto Cover Enhancement' (PACE), which the company claims is the first of its kind. This increases the sum assured automatically by 10%, starting from the 2nd year and without any increase in premium. But this will lead to increased mortality charges for policyholders. Mr Rahul said, "The mortality charges for a policyholder aged 30 on a policy term of 10 years is 1.67 for every Rs1,000 sum assured. This will remain constant every year for 10 years of the policy term for the initial sum assured. However, in FLEXI Fortune, the sum assured keeps increasing by 10% every year (PACE) to meet the growing protection need. The policyholder will have to pay additional mortality charges for this addition to the sum assured."
The flip side of the constant mortality charge during the policy term is that it is high so that it averages out the risk over the policy term. Moreover, the mortality charges are higher for longer plan terms. For example, the mortality charges for the 15-year plan is greater than that for the 10-year plan, and mortality charge for the 20-year plan is greater than that for the 15-year plan.
Another worthwhile feature is the 'settlement option'. The customer may choose to defer his maturity in adverse market conditions by increasing his policy term by a maximum of five years without paying any further premium. This also allows for maximizing returns as it operates like a pure investment tool in the extended period. The percentage of the payout will then be equally divided in the number of years opted for by the customer. There will be no life insurance provided during the settlement period.
The premium allocation charge is 5% for the first year and 4% thereafter. The policy administration charge is Rs960 per annum for a 10-year term and Rs600 for 15/20 years. It will inflate @5% per annum compounded annually, from the second year of the policy. The policy administration charge is higher for the 10-year term than for other policy terms. The ticket size for a 10-year policy is also much higher than for other policy terms. The other important charges like premium allocation charge and policy administration charge are in line with new ULIPs for a five-year period, on the higher side for 10 years and very high beyond 10 years (on a comparison for an average ticket size of Rs24,000).
Announcing the new plan, Rajesh Sud, chief executive officer and managing director, Max New York Life Insurance, said, "We are excited to offer life insurance products that respond realistically to consumers needs. MNYL has designed FLEXI Fortune keeping in mind the varied needs of different people. The product offers customers the flexibility to choose the policy tenure and the protection multiple that best suits their goals-whether it be savings, retirement or family security.
"At the same time, it also offers tools to manage good returns without taking undue risks through seven different fund options. With the growing need for adequate financial planning to meet requirements at different stages in life, it is important that people invest in instruments that are bundled with features, which help to maximise returns. Launching FLEXI Fortune is a natural progression in our journey to offer the consumer a complete choice of growth-oriented savings to suit various needs."
Entry and maturity age: Minimum age at entry is seven years and the maximum age is 50 years; maximum age at maturity is 70 years.
Premium payment term/policy term: 5 pay for 10-year term; 10 pay for 15-year term; 15 pay for 20-year term.
Premium payment mode: Annual, semi-annual, quarterly and monthly (quarterly and monthly modes are allowed through ECS only).
Minimum premium: Rs50,000 for 5 pay for 10-year term, for others Rs24,000 (annual) or Rs36,000 (semi-annual, quarterly and monthly).
Maximum premium: Rs1,00,000
Level of protection: For age less than 30 years - 10/20/30 times AP; 31 to 40 years - 10/20 times AP; 41 to 50 - 10 times AP (where AP is annualised premium).
Riders offered: Personal accident benefit, against dreaded diseases.

Players turn out to honor Calhoun
Storrs - Few people have made a bigger impact on Ray Allen's life than Jim Calhoun.
From the first time Allen met Calhoun until Sunday when the former UConn great and two-time NBA champion attended a tribute to his former coach at Gampel Pavilion, he's grown a great deal from their relationship.
"It's everlasting," Allen said of Calhoun's impact. "There's so many things that have been built into me from the moment I came to Connecticut, from the way I eat, to the way I think, to the way I prepare, the commitment to the game, and how I compete.
"It's everything that he instilled in me. � Being in the business of sports for the last 18 years, everything that I am I attribute to him because he taught me how to be a professional."
Allen was part of a large turnout of extended members of the UConn basketball family at the special event called, "Heart of a Champion: A Tribute to Jim Calhoun." It will benefit The Pat and Jim Calhoun Cardiology Center at the UConn Health Center and the UConn Basketball Development Center Fund.
What Calhoun, who retired a year ago, cherishes the most about his Hall of Fame coaching career is the close-knit relationships that he built and still maintains with his players.
"Seeing these guys come in here today is an incredibly emotional thing for me personally," Calhoun said. "A long, long time ago I said that I wanted to get into coaching to hopefully affect some people's lives. They've affected mine, I know for sure.
"� I knew it would be an emotional day. When I see them, it just does something to me certainly. � It's an incredible bond that never gets broken."
The feeling is mutual for his former players.
"He's a father figure to me," said Stanley "Sticks" Robinson. "So I just wanted to be here to support him."
When Jeff Adrien heard about the Calhoun tribute in June, he circled the date on his calendar.
"I had to be here�," Adrien said. "I loved every second of it, good and bad. It was an honor to play for coach Calhoun."
The family bond between Calhoun and his players took time to develop.
In fact, many Huskies wondered where the warm and fuzzy coach who showed up during the recruiting process was when the first day of practice started.
Calhoun is a firm believer in tough love and discipline.
"He's always pushing and he's always asking for more, and it makes you into who you are," A.J. Price said.
To this day, Allen, a member for the NBA champion Miami Heat, said he still hears Calhoun's voice during a practice.
"I cringe during practice when one of the coaches is talking and one of the other guys will bounce the basketball during the conversation," Allen said. "Coach Calhoun would put us all on the line. So that's something that's always been in me.
"� The guys that I played with and play with in the NBA didn't come from that. Their coaches didn't run a tight ship like that. We crave that discipline here and it still stays with me. � Each one of us, we have a bond to this day because we knew what we had to go through to exist and we all had a responsibility."
Calhoun has an advisor's role at UConn now. He says he greatly misses coaching and the kids.
Sunday night gave him a chance to reflect on his career. Some speakers included Allen, Ben Gordon, Rudy Gay, Kemba Walker, Richard Hamilton and coach Kevin Ollie. North Carolina's Roy Williams, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski delivered video tributes.
"I don't usually look back�." Calhoun said. "It's a special time for me. Your mind goes back to when all this all began. � I do have a sincere love for these guys and what they've done for me, my family, my life and for the institution that we're at."
UConn capped off the festivities by announcing that Stadium Road on campus will be renamed Jim Calhoun Way.
Allen is happy that Calhoun can celebrate his career.
"I feel honored to be a part of this because it is a testimony to who he is and where he's come from, and to be able to see the lineage of players that he's been able to teach and grow," Allen said. "We've become men under his watch. � Something from him is in each one of us."

AbstractThe continuation of concept development and test of a water-based, advanced Phase Change Material (PCM) heat sink is proposed. Utilizing a novel material choice for both an expansion diaphragm and the PCM case itself, the PCM can accommodate both the expansion of the freezing water-based material and very low temperature of approximately -250F. The water-based PCM itself would be non-toxic and non-flammable, but additives will be included to preclude deterioration of wither the PCM container or the diaphragm material. The use of a water-based PCM gives the highest heat capacity for the mass. This is highly limited due to the needs for portability as required for an Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVA). The total heat capacity of an operational unit would be for 4 hour duration EVA use. Through a logical progression of tasks including concept of operation formulation, requirements formulation, concept design reviews and detail design reviews that include design and thermal analysis using Thermal DesktopTM models, this effort can progress from the TRL 3 achieved in Phase I to TRL 4-5. The team will continue development by designing a Variable Conductance Interface (VCI) for protecting water in the Liquid Cooling Garment (LCG) from freezing due to the temperature of the heat sink used by the PCM. The team will also develop system improvements identified during Phase I testing. The PCM will be tested to confirm heat input/temperature performance and cycling capability. The test bed will allow for accurate heat input knowledge, temperature monitoring and cycling capability. The results will be compared to the thermal model to ensure accurate prediction capability for the next phase unit and system implementation. The design description and test results would form the basis of the final report.

SAIGON-- I'm writing this from a hotel in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City, where my husband Michael and I are on vacation. We just spent four days cycling around the Mekong delta with a Vietnamese guide named Hoc.
Hoc is from a small town in the central highlands of Vietnam. In his village, 30 young people graduated from high school with him, but he was the only one to go to university. Ten years ago, he said, if a young person from a small village went to college "he was a famous man." Now, higher education is increasing in Vietnam, but still, only 2 of 100 children have this opportunity.
Nearly 100% of children attend primary school here, though, so that is a start. We rode through several villages as school was letting out for lunch or in the afternoon -- you're immediately surrounded by dozens of children on bicycles shrieking down the road to their wood and sheet metal huts balanced on stilts over the Mekong river's canals or over the rice paddies. Poverty here is grinding -- average income is $200 a year. Though Vietnam's cities are growing and developing rapidly, malnourishment remains a problem in the provinces. According to the government, over a quarter of children are malnourished (and as a Communist government with little incentive to document problems on this front, you can bet the real number is higher).
So, here's the question I've been pondering. There are 20 million children under 18 years old in Vietnam. Let's think about the top 1%, or 200,000 children. Some of those children are in Saigon and Hanoi, where they can tap into international standards of education, internet access, books, museums and all that. But most of those children live in ramshackle huts, with parents who labor all day in the rice paddies or farm catfish on houseboats that get flooded out in severe rainy seasons. How can the government here, or international groups, or the multinational companies that do business in Vietnam, find the brightest children in these circumstances, and ensure that their talents are nurtured?
It's a question that matters for America too-- we have trouble finding and nurturing talent in inner city schools, or in impoverished rural areas too. What's the best approach to finding and polishing diamonds in the rough?

I am extremly interested in your vacation. Want details of how, why and when to do this. On your posted issue: Finding children in poverty anywhere breaks a persons heart. Finding "talented ones" should not be a priority over helping all of them. Forgein investors should consider where work force comes from. Manual labor and all because any society not built on a solid foundation, educated healthy public, will have major destructive forces in it looking to force improvements.
We have gifted children here in this country living in extreme conditions. My student is here illegally and needs to return to country of origin every year or so.
He is extremely talented in the area of mathematical computation and has an extensive vocabulary and wealth of knowledge from reading alone. His
parents are undeducated and do not speak English. I have tried to place this student within the public school system and am being told that our gifted program is extremely limited.
No one seems to be able to give me
much advice as to what to do. I feel very frustrated.
Marie V.
My name is Maureen Neihart. I am a psychologist who has written about gifted children and am now teaching at a university in Singapore. The timing of your blog is perfect for me as I am testing my graduate students (teachers) tonight on best practices in identifying gifted and talented children. I will use your observations and questions as a backdrop for this question: Suppose you were invited to consult with the Vietnamese government regarding identifying and nurturing children with high intellectual potential. What best practices regarding identification would you share with them? What cautions, if any, would you give them? Thanks for your input!

A missing entry in your script? Benny 2011/2/28 Nick Wallingford<nickw@...> I have this morning done the 'rollover' of the wiki manual pages in preparation for the 3.3 version. The process is a bit of a blunt instrument: I locate all wiki pages that have 3.2 in their title and export them to my local machine. I then do a search and replace on 3.2 to make it all 3.3 (in title and body of pages...) before re-importing them into the wiki. I've then re-built the search index for the wiki so the pages can be found. Note that search/replace of the body text *could* give some unintended results, but we've done it this way for the last several versions to save as much work as possible for the new manual's creation... All up, there are 285 new pages, ready for users to start editing to update the manual so it matches the 3.3 version. Please let me know if you want a listing of the pages, or if you see any obvious problems with the rollover. As soon as I get the word from the lead developers, I'll be making all of the 3.2 manual pages non-editable, so that all revisions will be into the new manual. Nick W.

Maria Astorga's Body Dumped Near I-70, Search on for Suspect Javier Huerta
A photo of Maria Maricela Astorga-Chavez circulated by the West Valley City (Utah) Police Department. Additional images and more below.
West Valley City Police Department
This past Sunday, a Colorado Department of Transportation worker made a grisly discovery.
A woman's body was found along Interstate 70.
Days later, the victim was identified as Maria Maricela Astorga-Chavez, a 32-year-old who'd been reported missing several days earlier.
Her death is being investigated as a homicide — and the prime suspect is Javier Huerta, the man with whom she was last seen.
On August 13, the West Valley City Police Department noted that Astorga-Chavez had vanished a week earlier, on the evening of August 6, after climbing into a white Ford Expedition with Huerta.
The department shared this photo of Huerta....
Javier Huerta.

...as well as this one....

...and this one:

The release featured this unnerving line: "Maria's behavior leading up to her disappearance was out of character and we would like to make sure that she is okay."
Cut to 1:30 p.m. on August 16, when the aforementioned CDOT worker discovered a dead woman along I-70 in Summit County.
A release from the Summit County Sheriff's Office reportedly noted that the body was near mile marker 210, between the Eisenhower Tunnel and the Silverthorne exit.
Here's an interactive graphic showing the area. If you have problems seeing the image, click "View on Google Maps."
The West Valley City department has now revealed that authorities in Colorado have positively identified the body as that of Astorga-Chavez.
In the meantime, Huerta remains at large.

Sure. You see the -c in you export line. Don't put it there. That puts
the device in (the very poorly named) uncached mode. This does two things.
One: It causes the server to use direct IO to write to the exported device,
so your read performance will take a hit. Two: It will time out after
a period (default to 10 sec). After gnbd times out, it must be able to fence
the server before it will let the requests fail. This is so that you know
that the server isn't simply stalled and might write out the requests later
(if gnbd failed out, and the requests were rerouted to the backend storage over
another gnbd server, if the first server wrote it's requests out later, it
could cause data corruption).
This means that to run in uncached mode, you need to have a cluster manager and
fencing devices, which I'm not certain that you have.
I've got some questions about your setup. Will this be part of a clustered
filesystem setup? If it will, I see some problems with your mirror. When
other nodes (including the gnbd server node A) write to the exported device,
these writes will not appear on the local partion of B. So won't your mirror
get out of sync? If only B will write to the exported device, (and that's
the only way I see this working) you can probably get by with nbd, which
simply fails out if it loses connection.
/dev/hda1 (md0, ext3, mounted) /dev/hda2 (ext3, unmounted, gnbd_exported as A) /dev/gnbd/B (md0, ext3, mounted)
/dev/hda1 (ext3, unmounted, gnbd_exported as B) /dev/hda2 (md0, ext3, mounted) /dev/gnbd/A (md0, ext3, mounted)

The 18-second sneak peak, which surfaced the net on April 26, features the singer frolicking on the beach with model William Levy and dances by the Mayan pyramids of Chichen Itza, Mexico. But it does not show Lil Wayne in any scene. According to sources, Jennifer Lopez shares a few raunchy scenes with William Levy on the Beach of Chichen-Itza, Mexico. But she reportedly does not have any steam scene with Lil Wayne, who lends his vocal on the song. All their combo scenes are said to have been shot in the Studio. However, Im Into You is a mid-tempo pop song from Jennifer Lopezs upcoming studio album Love?. The track has been written by Taio Cruz and Lil Wayne and produced by Stargate. The singer has planned to premiere its full video on NBCs Today Show on May 2.

Its only small issue but... if he steals mods pass and sends pm using mod name admin or super mod will not suspect a thing. so best thing to do is disable html in pm's its not need it there any ways.

Most Read Car Reviews of the Week: August 17 – 24
The new Chevy Corvette Stingray has been making a splash ever since its release, and the upgraded 2015 version captured the most attention on AutoGuide this past week.
The car now has an eight-speed automatic transmission which has improved fuel efficiency by 1 mpg on the highway, and its 0 to 60 mph sprint by a tiny amount. As alway, the car can also be had with a seven-speed manual, powered by a 6.2-liter V8 with 460 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.
Ford takes the second spot on the list with the 2014 Transit Connect Wagon LWB Review. Ford doesn't want to call the Transit Connect Wagon a minivan, but it certainly is practical like one. Check out our review to see if this is truly the spiritual successor to the Ford Freestar.
The sexy Jaguar F-Type Coupe slots into the third spot this week. Powered by a supercharged 5.0-liter V8, this car puts 550 hp to the ground straight through the rear wheels. Originally only available as a convertible, Jaguar has now unleashed the coupe with an extra dose of style.
In at fourth is our 2014 Toyota Highlander review. A 280-hp 3.5-liter V6 hybrid provides power for the Highlander Hybrid, sent to all four wheels.
Finally, the new Audi A3 finishes the list this week. German luxury automakers are jumping into the entry-level segment, and Audi's offering in the market is the A3. So, does this car feel like true luxury, or does it over promise and under deliver.
So whether you're shopping for a new car and looking for advice, you want to keep up to date on the auto industry or you're just looking for a good read, check out the hotlinks to each of the stories below and see more new car reviews here.

Strauss has set into gear its plans of launching its new mass market jeans label 'Signature' in India. The company is looking at tapping the mass market through around 2,000 outlets (as against 400 currently) and with a product price range of Rs 600-900. The new brand requires an entirely different model of sourcing (the company has a vendor base of 10), in addition to marketing and retailing.
Levi Strauss had called for a creative pitch nearly a month ago featuring all the top end agencies, Lowe, Rediffusion, Interface, JWT to name a few. The size of the business is in the region of Rs 6-7 crore. The company required the agencies to make the first round of presentations which included both credentials and strategy. Thereafter, a shortlisting of sorts happened followed by repeated meetings with those agencies. Eight agencies were a part of this particular pitch.
Levi's Business Head, A Ramani, confirmed that the business had indeed been won by O&M Bangalore. "We have squared on O&M Bangalore, after a multi-agency pitch which featured the best of the best in advertising. O&M was the right choice because they matched our expectations in terms of quality creative, and they had a crystal clear comprehension of our strategy," he said.
Ramani further said that Signature would be pitted against the likes of Trigger, Newport and Rough & Tough. "It's necessary that we get an agency which would benchmark our positioning in the market. We are aiming at standard segments; Signature is priced in the Rs 600-900 range and it's essential that our communication accentuates the same. The ad campaign would break in a month or so, and it would underline our position vis-à-vis the competition," he informed.

Festivities began with the Science Center's black-tie fundraising gala where guests accompanied the fuel tank as it left Marina del Rey.
Around 12:30 a.m. PT early Saturday, a procession began at Fisherman's Village in Marina del Rey to move the only remaining flight-qualified external tank from the Space Shuttle program — a gift from NASA. The tank will end its journey at the California Science Center, where it will join Space Shuttle Endeavour on display.
The ET-94 is enormous — it weighs 65,000 pounds (empty), is 154 feet long and about three stories high. It's sitting on dollies as it's pulled by a truck on the 16-mile journey to the Science Center, reminiscent of the trip that Endeavour made, which attached an estimated 1.5 million spectators during its 2012 trek through the L.A. streets.
To mark the occasion, the California Science Center held a black-tie fundraising gala at the site, and around midnight, guests including roughly 10 NASA astronauts spilled out of the party, led by a New Orleans Jazz Band playing 'When the Saints Go Marching In." The band and guests followed the fuel tank up Fiji Way toward Lincoln. As they walked, they were joined by a growing crowd of residents who came out to see ET-94. "Awesome!" said thrilled guests as they took pictures and posed for selfies with the fuel tank.
The gala itself, the 18th Annual Discovery Ball, was themed to look back at the fuel tank's nearly 5,000-mile journey thus far. It started April 12 at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, where the ET-94 was moved onto a barge and traveled south through the Panama Canal, en route to Marina del Rey.
Friday's gala began with a New Orleans-themed cocktail party in the shadow of the fuel tank, featuring performers in costumes and a jazz band. During this time, guests took pictures and selfies under the ET-94. Attendees also "traveled to Panama" for a Caribbean-themed dinner and program that was held under a tent decorated to look like a lush tropical rainforest. The event included a performance by a Panamanian folkloric dance troupe.
Guests were welcomed by California Science Center president and CEO Jeffrey Rudolph. There was enthusiastic applause as he introduced the NASA astronauts in attendance, including Ken Ham, Rick Searfoss, Charlie Precourt, Dan Bursch, Robert Curbeam, Steve Swanson, Danny Olivas, Kay Hire, Garrett Reisman and Sandy Magnus. Astronauts are walking with the fuel tank to the California Science Center, greeting residents and answering questions as they go.
Gala attendees also included guests from the California Science Center community, local officials and representatives from NASA. That included Senator Holly Mitchell and Gil Garcetti.
The gala raised funds via table sponsorships (seatings of 10 range from $10,000 to $50,000 and individual tickets were available in packages of two for $2,500), as well as a raffle for a 2016 Lexus RX Hybrid and a Hands-On Science Camp scholarship. The cost of the fuel tank's move is approximately $3 million, and will be funded by the EndeavourLA Campaign, whose total fundraising goal is $250 million. About half of that has been secured to date.
The external tank was the only component of the Space Shuttle that was not reused. Approximately 8.5 minutes into the flight, with its propellant used, the tank was jettisoned on a preplanned trajectory with the majority of it disintegrating in the atmosphere and the rest falling into the ocean. The ET-94 was built to support science missions for the Space Shuttle Columbia. Then the Columbia accident occurred, involving the ET-93, and the ET-94 was never used.
When it arrives at the California Science Center, the ET-94 will sit on the north side of the Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Pavilion, where there will be a viewing area. Its final home will be the not-yet-constructed Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. The center anticipates breaking ground on the new facility later this year, and it's expected to take about three years to complete. For the final exhibition, Endeavour will be mated to the tank and it will be rotated 90-degrees to place it in launch configuration, reaching an elevation of nearly 200 feet to accommodate a complete Space Shuttle system that includes the ET-94, the Orbiter and real Solid Rocket Boosters.
The ET-94's route through the streets will continue from Fiji Way to Lincoln; Lincoln to Mindanao Way; Mindanao Way to CA-90; CA-90 to Culver Blvd; Culver Blvd. to Lincoln via transition ramp; Lincoln to Loyola Blvd; Loyola Blvd. to Westchester Pkwy; Westchester Parkway turns into Arbor Vitae St. at Airport Blvd; Arbor Vitae St. to La Brea Ave; La Brea Ave. to Manchester Blvd; Manchester Blvd. to Vermont Ave; Vermont Ave. to MLK; MLK to Exposition Park.
The route to move the fuel tank is a bit longer than the one used for Endeavour. The tank is neither as wide as Endeavour (32 feet versus 78 feet) nor as high (35 feet versus 56 feet), and so it's expected that fewer utilities will be impacted and no trees will be removed along route from the coast to Exposition Park, though some light trimming may be necessary, according to the California Science Center. It's expected to arrive on Saturday night.
Below is the route it will take on its way to the California Science Center.
See photos of the fuel tanker documented on social media below.
