Heavy
Rain
Expected
To
Continue
But
Not
As
Intense
As
This
Past
Mid-Week

Wednesday
night
the
rains
came
down
with
such
intensity
that
it
resulted
in
the
damage
of
30
homes
and
six
bridges
in
some
15
different
cantons.

Drivers
Call
For
The
Heads
of
MOPT
&
CONAVI
Officials
For
Being
Incompetent

Drivers
and
analysts
are
united
in
the
belief
tha
the
officials
of
the
Ministerio
de
Obras
Públicas
y
Transportes
(MOPT)
and
the
Consejo
Nacional
de
Vialidad
(CONAVI)
shoudl
resign
for
failing
to
resolve
the
problems
of
the
"platina"
(virilla)
bridge
and
the
sinking
of
the
autopista
General
Cañas.

Playing
Chicken
With
The
Train
In
Costa
Rica
Many
drivers
in
San
José
still
have
to
learn
an
very
important
rule
of
the
road,
the
train
is
heavier,
mightier
and
always
has
the
right
of
way.
And
when
that
rule
is
not
respected,
disaster
is
the
result.

Costa
Rica
will
Have
Tech
Olympics
The
hot
topic
in
recent
days
were
the
London
Olympics,
but
as
some
left
wanting
more,
Costa
Rica
will
its
own
competitions;
but
these
will
be
directed
at
technical
careers.
Save
Emma,
Take
Part
In
The
Canine

one
of
the
many
dogs
rescued
from
the
streets
of
Costa
Rica
and

to
the
work
of
the
Fundación
Tierra
de
Animales,
that
will
be
holding
its
first
