Tourism
operators hope
holiday will bring in cash By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
With the tourism industry between seasons, those in the industry are hoping that the holiday Thursday will give them a boost. Some hospitality firms are offering from 20 to 50 percent discounts, said the Cámera Nacional de Turismo. The campaigns are directed primarily at Costa Ricans. The tourism industry counts on the dry season, high season, but it also counts on a secondary high season during the Northern Hemisphere summer when teachers, students and other vacationers come to the country. That period begins in May. Thursday is Juan Santamaría day, a legal holiday, and many Costa Ricans will be taking a long weekend. The offers put the prices into what many Costa Ricans can afford. For example, the travel agency My Costa Rica has prepared a tour of Parque Nacional Corcovado on the Osa peninsula that includes transportation, food, snorkeling and overnighting in tents, said the chamber. The holiday also means that the center city license plate rule will not be enforced and that public offices and embassies will be closed except for emergencies. The U.S. Embassy confirmed this Monday. Juan Santamaría was the soldier who died while setting fire to an enemy stronghold at the Battle of Santa Rosa in 1856. That was the campaign that frustrated U.S. filibuster William Walker and his plans to invade Costa Rica. There will be a parade in Alajuela, the hometown of Santamaría. Government says deal reached on the way rice price is set By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The economics ministry said Monday that it had arrived at a deal with rice growers to change the way prices are set. That plan will go into effect in 2014. The Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Comercio based much of its analysis on a study done by the Instituto en Ciencias Económicas of the Universidad de Costa Rica that showed that the current way the government sets the price for rice does not square with national and international markets, and the poor individuals have been hurt over the years by a rising price for rice, which is a Costa Rican staple. Th Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería promised to help rice growers improve their production and help them find money for credit from international sources. The price of rice has been a political football for years with the economics ministry trying to bring the local price closer to the world price. Meanwhile, local rice growers have been trying to block imports and get a guaranteed price form the government's Corporación Arrocera Nacional Obama again promotes his gun control proposals By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
U.S. President Barack Obama has again urged Americans to press Congress to pass new gun control legislation. During a speech Monday at the University of Hartford in the northeastern state of Connecticut, Obama called on citizens to get engaged and get involved in an effort to stem what he called the misinformation that is threatening efforts to derail the legislation. Obama appeared at the university with Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, who last week signed sweeping gun control legislation into law after it was passed in the state legislature. In December, a 20-year-old gunmen fatally shot 20 children and six adult staff members at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. Before the mass shooting, the gunmen had shot and killed his mother. He fatally shot himself after the elementary school killings. Obama argued that U.S. lawmakers have an obligation to the 20 children and six adults killed in the mass shooting. "Now is the time for everybody to make their voices heard from every state house to the corridors of Congress.'' "Newtown, we want you to know that we're here with you. We will not walk away from the promise we've made. We are determined as ever to do what must be done, in fact, I'm here to ask you to help me to show that we can get it done. We're not forgetting." Senate Democrats need to persuade enough opposition Republicans to support a proposed bill and achieve the required 60 votes to move to a formal debate and a vote. The president is calling for expanded background checks on all gun buyers, re-institutng an assault weapons ban and limiting the size of gun magazine clips. Republican Sen. Charles Grassley, a Repubican, is one of those opposed to the proposed gun control legislation. Grassley said he and his constituents in the midwestern state of Iowa believe the legislation threatens Americans' constitutional rights to own a gun. Ad rates to be increased By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
A.M. Costa Rica will be instituting a small display advertising rate increase April 15. Classified advertising rates will remain unchanged. The increases are made necessary by increases in costs that the newspaper must pay. This includes higher utility costs, mandatory increases in employee salaries, higher rents and higher costs for editorial and professional services. Existing advertising agreements will not be affected, and the advertising staff will continue to accept business at the old rate until April 15.

Some workmen relax to enjoy the
view of the Paseo de las Damas and its new concrete coat. |
|
New concrete roadway lasted less than
four years in city |
|
By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
All that traffic in the back streets of northeast San José is there because the Paseo de las Damas is closed for repairs. The street, which also is known as Avenida 3, got a new cement roadway in 2009. Quickly the concrete began to fall apart because the base of the roadway was not adequate. Now it will take 35 million colons ($70,000) at least to remedy the problem. |
Traffic was a mess for the months
that the street was being rejuvenated from the Estación al
Atlántico to Parque Morazán in the heart of the capital. The result was so elegant that there were newspaper featured articles about the successful project that cost 400 million colons or about $800,000. That was before the roadway started to fall apart. City officials said that the street only will be closed for six weeks this time. |
Anti-monopoly law goes into effect for
large businesses |
|
By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Larger Costa Rica companies now must receive permission if they seek to purchase or merge with another firm. That is the thrust of legislation that went into effect Friday, six months after it had been published. This is Law 9072, which requires authorization by the Comisión para Promover la Competencia of any purchase or merger if the firm has an annual income of $15 million or more. The legislation seeks to prevent a monopoly, according to the |
Ministerio de Economía,
Industria y Comercio which still is seeking public comment. The law also establishes the right of positive silence, a legal concept that allows company executives to assume that their deal has been approved if there is not notice from the commission in 30 days. The commission is authorized to place conditions on sales or mergers. There are stiff fines for failing to consult the commission. |

Flag football continues to grow as a youth sport with
limited contact |
|
By
Cody Gear
Special to A.M. Costa Rica A big week in youth flag football concluded Sunday as the Spartans won a round robin tournament held in La Sabana Park. The tournament, which was hosted and sponsored by the Federation of American Football in Costa Rica, held the tournament to honor the National Sports Day in Costa Rica. Preparation for the tournament began last week and was held adjacent to the Estadio Nacional in La Sabana. Paolo Vincenzi, who is a federation commissioner and the coach of the Spartans said it was a great opportunity for the curious to see what this sport looks like. Vincenzi said many are familiar with traditional tackle football but that flag football is a relatively non-contact sport. The game is played using rules similar to tackle football with some minor exceptions. Instead of tackling the opponent, the removal of a “flag” from his flag belt signals the end of the play. Instead of the traditional 10 yards to gain a first down with four attempts, flag football only allows three attempts to make a first down with a longer yard to gain standard. Expats living here know that children are playing tackle football at a very early age. Vincenzi said in the United States children are exposed to American football at a very young age. Through organizations such as Pop Warner as well as local community-based programs such as Grey Y (sponsored by the YMCA) and local governments via city or county recreation departments, kids in the States have opportunities that Costa Rican youngsters do not. By the time youngsters in the States reach Junior high school they have received an excellent foundation in position techniques and a good understanding of the game, the coach said. |

Tournament was held in the
shadow of the Estadio NacionalMany go on to play high school and
college football. For those who excel, universities in the United
States offer scholarships which pay for a complete college education.
Vincenzi said that with the sport spreading to other countries, the
universities are now looking at talent in other places beside the
United States.
Several major universities have given scholarships to players from Mexico, Germany, Haiti, and Great Britain. When asked if this could be a glimpse into the future where flag football could lead to a college scholarship, he said he didn’t know but his hope is that some deserving young man would be one day. Vincenzi said there are currently seven flag football teams within the league. Flag football began here in 2009 with just four teams, he noted, adding that he hoped, the sport will continue to grow and that he encourages anyone who wants to participate with a current team or by forming a team is welcomed. Vincenzi can be reached through the federation Web site: www.fefacr.org. |

WikiLeaks compiles U.S. docs that are searchable on Web By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The whistleblowing Web site WikiLeaks has launched a new database containing 1.7 million documents from the U.S. State Department that were declassified but were difficult for the public to access. WikiLeaks is calling the searchable collection the “Public Library of U.S. Diplomacy," bringing together diplomatic and intelligence documents that previously could only be accessed through the National Archives. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told reporters via video link from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London that the documents were hidden in what he called the borderline between secrecy and complexity. “This material that we have published today is the single most significant geopolitical publication that has ever existed," he said. The database gives the public access to diplomatic cables from the beginning of 1973 to the end of 1976, including communications sent by then-U.S. secretary of State Henry Kissinger. At a media briefing in Washington, WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson called the new database a public service. “In my mind when you look at this material, 1.7 million public documents, they are not easily available. It is extremely hard to approach them even though they have been declassified. So making them available to people is basically taking the secrecy away and uncovering the stories," she said. Although the documents have long been in the public domain, their release in a searchable archive has generated some headlines internationally because their publication was coordinated with a number of media outlets. For example, India’s Hindu newspaper cited the cables in a report about Rajiv Gandhi, whose family still dominates the country’s ruling party, as a middleman for an arms deal in the 1970s. Gandhi was assassinated in 1991 and his wife Sonia is now head of the ruling Congress Party. U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell declined comment on the archive. “Our understanding is that there are some very old documents here. We are still looking to see what all of this may be. I cannot comment on neither their authenticity nor their status of classification," he said. The new WikiLeaks database contains 250,000 classified cables leaked by the Web site in 2010. Those documents infuriated the international community as they provided blunt and unflattering U.S. views of world leaders. Assange has been seeking refuge in Ecuador’s embassy in London in an effort to avoid extradition to Sweden to face allegations of rape and sexual assault, accusations Assange has denied. U.S. Army Pvt. Bradley Manning admitted to giving WikiLeaks the first set of cables. His court martial is set to begin in June. More women in top tier of government evoke views By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
U.S. President Barack Obama is said to be considering women for several key positions in his administration that have previously been held by men. Analysts say despite the potential political gains for women in the United States, their entry into the upper echelons of government remains uneven. U.S. officials say counter-terrorism adviser Lisa Monaco is on President Barack Obama's short list to head the FBI. If Ms. Monaco is selected to replace retiring Director Robert Mueller, it would mark the first time a woman has led the agency. Obama is also said to be considering Caroline Kennedy for U.S. ambassador to Japan. If selected, the daughter of former U.S. president John F. Kennedy would be the first woman to serve as the American envoy to that country. Obama recently installed Julia Pierson as head of the Secret Service, making her the first woman to lead the agency that protects the president and his family. The president commented on the uniqueness of Ms. Pierson's position during her March swearing-in ceremony. "She is breaking the mold in terms of directors of the agency and I think that people are all extraordinarily proud of her," said Obama. The male-dominated Secret Service came under harsh criticism last year, when some of its agents were implicated in a scandal involving prostitutes in Colombia. Analyst Judith Warner of the Center for American Progress said it is notable that a woman is now in charge of the Secret Service. "It is always very significant, particularly symbolically and practically as well, when a woman is brought to head an agency or comes to be very prominent in an organization that is typically very much identified with a strong kind of masculine or macho culture, which certainly the Secret Service is," she said. According to analyst Shari Bryan of the Washington-based National Democratic Institute policy group, such moves do not occur often enough. Ms. Bryan says women are often marginalized or sidelined into what she calls softer positions, jobs that appear to be more related to women's issues. On the other hand, she says men are sometimes groomed for certain jobs. "One of the things we do not talk about is the fact that most men who come into politics do not necessarily come with expertise or a background in budget and finance or military operations, but they are given those opportunities because of male leadership," said Ms. Bryan. In addition to facing challenges in moving into certain types of leadership roles, Ms. Bryan says women continue to face challenges in advancing professionally depending on where they live. "There are certain regions of the world that still have very low levels of women’s participation, particularly in the Middle East, while other regions such as Latin America and parts of Africa are excelling in participation, and there are different reasons for that," said Bryan. She says those reasons include strategies such as the use of quotas to ensure a certain percentage of elected officials are women. Bryan says another change is that women's organizations are beginning to link up at a global level to advocate for women who are qualified for high-level government positions. New bird flu in China perhaps not contagious By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The World Health Organization’s top representative in China said there are no signs that a new bird flu virus that has already left seven dead here is being transmitted between people and adds there is no reason for panic. Most of the deaths and confirmed infections from a total of 24 confirmed cases of H7N9 in China have occurred in the country’s massive eastern city Shanghai. While most of the infections have been traced back to the handling of infected birds, one of the first reported cases is raising greater concern. Two sons of a man who died from H7N9 later developed respiratory illness. One of the sons died, but Chinese authorities now say bird flu was not the cause of his death. Michael O'Leary, the World Health representative in China, said while several members of the family fell ill, there is no evidence at this time that the disease can be passed from one human to another. "So far, we really only have sporadic cases of a rare disease, and perhaps it will remain that way," he said. "So this is not a time for over-reaction or panic or that sort of thing. These are a relatively small number of serious cases with personal health, medical implications but not at this stage known public health implications.” O’Leary said there is still much to be learned about the virus and that because it is new, there is no way to predict the pattern it will follow. "Now that the virus is identified, laboratories can now look for it specifically," he added. "So we would expect that in neighboring countries as well and other places if there are serious unexplained cases of influenza, they would now begin to look for this virus and we would see. But we know so far still that is limited to only a small number of provinces even in China. We don't know of other cases elsewhere.” O’Leary was speaking at a news conference in Beijing Monday, along with the head of China’s national health and family planning commission. He praised China’s efforts to mobilize resources to monitor several hundred people who have come into contact with those who were infected. Although some of the first deaths from the disease happened early last month, it took authorities in China three weeks to determine the new bird flu was the source of the illness. That has led some newspapers and Chinese Internet users to openly wonder about the cause for the delay and to express concerns about a cover-up. The Chinese government says the delay was the result of the time it took to understand the new virus. In 2002, Chinese authorities initially tried to cover-up the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which emerged in China. The disease eventually spread across the globe leaving more than 800 people dead. Concerns that Asia could see another epidemic similar to SARS weighed on markets across the region Monday, with most closing lower. Chinese business groups oppose U.S. tech ruling By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The U.S.-China Business Council on Monday criticized a new U.S. law aimed at thwarting cyber attacks by discouraging the Justice Department and several other government agencies from buying information technology systems from China. "The national security of the United States is critical, but it must not be used as a means of protectionism," John Frisbie, the group's president, said in a letter urging leaders in the Senate and the House of Representatives to block similar measures in the future. "Product security is a function of how a product is made, used, and maintained, rather than by whom or where it is made. Imposing a country-specific risk assessment creates a false sense of security if the goal is to improve our nation's cybersecurity," Frisbie said. Congress, reflecting growing U.S. concern over Chinese cyber attacks, tucked a new review process for U.S. government technology purchases into a funding bill signed last month by President Barack Obama. The measure requires the NASA space agency, the Justice and Commerce departments and the National Science Foundation to get approval from law enforcement officials when buying new information technology systems, with a particular focus on whether the systems are "produced, manufactured or assembled by one or more entities that are owned, directed or subsidized" by China. Chinese officials have urged the United States to repeal the law, which they said uses Internet security as an excuse to take discriminatory steps against Chinese firms. Fearing Chinese retaliation and copycat legislation in other countries that could harm U.S. interests, the Information Technology Industry Association, Business Software Alliance and other business groups also wrote to congressional leaders Friday to urge reconsideration of the new law. "Given the expedited manner in which this provision was enacted, we ask the Congress to review the security implications and competitive impact of this requirement, and consider a more constructive approach to this issue," they said. The new provision also could inadvertently impede the U.S. government's ability to use the latest cutting-edge technology to protect itself, the groups argued. "The requirement to assess every IT product purchase, absent any triggering threshold, will likely slow the federal acquisition process and put impacted federal agencies behind the security innovation curve," they said. Margaret Thatcher left mark on Britain and the world By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher has died at the age of
87, following a stroke. Family spokesman Lord Tim Bell said Britain's only female prime minister died peacefully Monday morning. Within minutes of the announcement, ordinary citizens began to put flowers and condolence notes outside her home in London. The British government said Thatcher would receive a ceremonial funeral at St. Paul's Cathedral with military honors, a step short of a state funeral, in accordance with the wishes of her family. It said a private cremation would follow later, but provided no details on the timing of the service. Mrs. Thatcher, who was made a baroness by Queen Elizabeth, had a long and controversial career, transforming the British economy and society with her Conservative Party’s anti-union, anti-regulation policies during an 11-year tenure from 1979 to 1990. She was a grocer’s daughter who rose to become Britain’s only woman prime minister, and she held the job longer than anyone else in the 20th century. When she first came to office, she expressed this hope. “Where there is discord may we bring harmony, where there is error may we bring truth, where there is doubt may we bring faith and where there is despair may we bring hope,” she said. But her tenure through three election victories created considerable discord, alienating workers, deregulating health and safety hazards, and splitting her own cabinet on some issues. She stood firm against militants in Northern Ireland, allowing one of them to starve himself to death in prison. She supported British membership in the European Union, but insisted on not participating in the open borders agreement and the common euro currency. And she took the country to war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands. Mrs. Thatcher’s supporters and opponents agree that she had a huge impact on Britain, as a pioneering woman in politics and as a transformational prime minister. As with any politician, her legacy will be mixed, but all appear to agree she earned her nickname, the Iron Lady. Mrs. Thatcher, who is credited with changing the face of British politics during her three terms as prime minister, was married to Denis Thatcher and had two children, a son and daughter, twins. In her autobiography, Mrs. Thatcher said her foremost achievement, as prime minister, was to shift British policy from what she called soft socialism to a free-enterprise society. Five years after leaving office, she told a television interviewer she had also restored Britain's high rank in the world because of her unwavering stand for freedom and liberty. She recalled her decision to send British troops to defend the Falkland Islands in 1982 when Argentine forces invaded the British dependency. "People knew that we would not tolerate an aggressor. We would not appease an aggressor. So we went down to the Falklands," she recalled. "That was the first time an aggressor had been thrown out in the post war period. So we did turn Britain around to become a great nation again although within much smaller borders in a way because we no longer have an empire. But we got back our self-respect and our reputation." The same could be said for her condemnation of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Standing next to then U.S. president George Bush at a meeting in the United States, Mrs. Thatcher did not hesitate to call for military action if necessary to stop Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Mouseketeer Annette Funicello dies after being in coma By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Annette Funicello, star of Disney's "Mickey Mouse Club'' television program in the 1950s, has died, Disney said Monday. "We're sorry to report beloved Disney Mouseketeer and iconic teen star Annette Funicello has passed away at age 70,'' the Walt Disney TV and movie studio said on its official fan club's Twitter account. Her family told television program Extra that Ms. Funicello died in hospital in Bakersfield, California, while in a coma due to suffering from multiple sclerosis, which was diagnosed in 1987. It was not immediately clear when she died. Ms. Funicello was America's peaches-and-cream girl, portraying the innocence of the 1950s and 1960s, first as a Disney Mouseketeer and then as the star of a series of beach movies. But in later life, she was remembered for what many say was her greatest role: a valiant fight against multiple sclerosis, a crippling disease of the nervous system which reduced the once perky and vivacious singer and actress to depend progressively on a cane, a walker and finally a wheelchair. |

Neruda's
body exhumed to prove claims of murder By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The body of Chilean Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda, dead nearly four decades, was exhumed Monday after his former driver said the poet was poisoned under Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship. Neruda, famed for his passionate love poems and staunch Communist views, is presumed to have died from prostate cancer on Sept. 23, 1973. But Manuel Araya, who was Neruda's driver during the ailing writer's last few months, says agents of the dictatorship took advantage of his illness to inject poison into his stomach while he was bedridden at the Santa Maria clinic in Santiago. "We're hoping for a positive result because Neruda was assassinated. Pinochet made an error when he ordered Neruda be killed," said Araya. Neruda was buried in his coastal home of Isla Negra beside his third wife, Matilde Urrutia. His remains will be brought to Santiago for analysis. Some samples could be sent to laboratories abroad. Results are expected in coming months. Neruda was a supporter of socialist president Salvador Allende, who was toppled in a military coup Sept. 11, 1973, nearly two weeks before the poet's death at age 69. Around 3,000 people are thought to have been killed by the brutal 17-year-long dictatorship that ensued. Ricardo Eliecer Neftali Reyes Basoalto, better known by his pen name Pablo Neruda, was a larger-than-life fixture in Chile's literary and political scene. While best known for his collection "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair," published in 1924, Neruda was also an important political activist during a turbulent time in Chile. He organized a ship to bring about 2,000 Spanish refugees fleeing the civil war there to Chile in 1939, campaigned for Allende and was ambassador to France during the socialist's presidency. The Andean country's intelligentsia frequently congregated in Isla Negra, as well as in his Santiago home "La Chascona" so named for his then-mistress Urrutia's messy red hair and La Sebastiana, his ship-themed home in the port town of Valparaiso. Democratically-elected Allende committed suicide in the presidential palace as it was under attack by the military, experts confirmed last year, amid accusations he had been murdered during the coup. Chilean courts are also investigating the death of ex-president Eduardo Frei Montalva, who is presumed to have died in 1982 of an infection after a hernia operation. Some say he was poisoned by Pinochet's agents. . |
