Alcohol will be
legal
in Nicoya Semana Santa By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Good news for tourism operators on the Nicoya peninsula: The Municipalidad de Nicoya has decided to eliminate the prohibition against selling alcohol on Thursday and Friday of Semana Santa next week. Recent change in the alcohol laws gave the municipal governments the power to make this decision. Semana Santa is a big tourism period, and visitors sometimes were surprised that alcohol was not available. In fact, many tourism outlets served drinks in paper cups to get around the law, which was countrywide at the time. Still, supermarkets and other outlets closed off their alcohol displays during that time. The municipal council of Cartago Centro has decided to continue the prohibition in that area for this Semana Santa. Some municipalities are waiting until the last minute in the hopes some Sala IV constitutional appeals against the new law will be resolved. Anti-drug agents sentenced to 12 years in airport case By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
An anti-drug agent who helped smugglers get through the controls at Juan Santamaría airpot has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. He is Carlos Enrique Sánchez Espinoza. That was announced Wednesday by the Policía de Control de Drogas, which had investigated the case. Also convicted was a Costa Rican named Mario José Pennant Riti, who was designated the leader of an organized gang that worked for Colombian drug dealers. The organization would recruit individuals to carry drugs onto flights at the airport, and Sánchez would see that they got through the various checkpoints, said anti-drug agents. Stickup, shootout and crash leads to arrest of two suspects By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Two suspects were detained Tuesday after two men stuck up a supermarket in Guápiles. The Judicial Investigating Organization gave this account: Two men approached the store at 8:30 p.m. on a motorcycle. One of the men went inside and threatened the cashier with a handgun before taking 20,000 colons from the register and a package of cigarettes. The man returned to the motorcycle where the driver was waiting, and they left. The police caught up to the suspects within five kilometers. Noticing their presence, the men fired shots at the officers. The men were apprehended when the motorcycle collided head on with the vehicle of judicial agents who were traveling in the opposite direction. The suspects, Carlos Méndez Barboza, 33, and Mauricio Brenes Pineda, 29, were taken to the Hospital de Guápiles. Investigators say they will continue investigations because it is possible the men are suspects in other assaults in the area. Internet bad guys using death of Chávez as a hook By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Spammers and others who use the Internet for foul reasons have used the death of Venezuela's president Hugo Chávez to further their efforts. The firm Websense said it has identified malicious emails that have in the subject line the allegation that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency murdered Chávez. The idea is to encourage a recipient of the email to click and open an attachment. "Malware authors are increasingly using breaking global news events as a means of propagating lures that lead to malware," said Websense. There is no scientific consensus that humans aid warming Dear A.M. Costa Rica: I hope that my lifelong contributions to sustainable agriculture and the environment will give what I am to say some credibility. For I, as much as any person, am deeply concerned about the degradation of our natural habitat throughout our planet and atmosphere. But the truth is, that any cursory research will reveal that there is without a doubt no scientific consensus that man-made activities are significant contributing factors to a warming planet. That there is a scientific consensus is a lie, just like it was a lie there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So, who is saying that there is a scientific consensus? And, why are they lying to you? That's the question, no? Albert

| Price regulator backs down on proposed
cut in gasoline profit |
|
|
By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Service station operators will not call a work stoppage this week. The Autoridad Reguladora de Servicios Público said Wednesday afternoon that it was suspending a 5 colon reduction in the gross profit of every liter of gasoline. Service station operators were unhappy when the price regulating agency issued this directive. A local appeal failed and the Poder Judicial announced also Wednesday afternoon that a Sala IV constitutional appeal by the Cámara de Empresarios de Combustibles also had failed. The board of directors of the Autoridad said that it was suspending the cut in price to avoid irreparable damages. The original price cut was issued by the energy section of the |
Autoridad. The cut was scheduled to
be published in the official newspaper Friday. The Autoridad not only sets the price of gasoline and other petroleum fuels but it also establishes a profit margin for service stations. In the case of gasoline that was 43.45 colons per liter. The Autoridad cut that to 37.97 colons. The margin was around 8 U.S. cents. The Autoridad cut that by one cent. The margin for diesel got a 6-colon cut. The change in the profit margin came from elaborate computations made by the Autoridad. The service station appeal was based on the specifics of these techniques. The Cámara de Empresarios de Combustibles earlier made an unsuccessful appeal directly to the Autoridad. |

| Scientists find unexpected magma layer
helping Cocos to move |
|
|
By
the Scripps Institution of Oceanography news staff
Scientists have found a layer of liquefied molten rock in Earth’s mantle that may be acting as a lubricant for the sliding motions of the planet’s massive tectonic plates. The discovery may carry far-reaching implications, from solving basic geological functions of the planet to a better understanding of volcanism and earthquakes. The scientists discovered the magma layer at the Middle America trench offshore Nicaragua. Using advanced seafloor electromagnetic imaging technology, the scientists imaged a 25-kilometer (15.5-mile-) thick layer of partially melted mantle rock below the edge of the Cocos plate where it moves underneath Central America. The Cocos plate and its interaction with the lighter Caribbean plate are responsible for many of Costa Rica's earthquakes. The scientists are from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego The discovery is reported in the Wednesday issue of the journal Nature by Samer Naif, Kerry Key, and Steven Constable of Scripps, and Rob Evans of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The new images of magma were captured during a 2010 expedition aboard the U.S. Navy-owned and Scripps-operated research vessel "Melville." After deploying a vast array of seafloor instruments that recorded natural electromagnetic signals to map features of the crust and mantle, the scientists realized they found magma in a surprising place. |
“This was completely unexpected,”
said Key, an associate research geophysicist in the Cecil H. and Ida M.
Green Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at Scripps. “We
went out looking to get an idea of how fluids are interacting with
plate subduction, but we discovered a melt layer we weren’t expecting
to find at all. It was pretty surprising.” For decades scientists have debated the forces and circumstances that allow the planet’s tectonic plates to slide across the earth’s mantle. Studies have shown that dissolved water in mantle minerals results in a more ductile mantle that would facilitate tectonic plate motions, but for many years clear images and data required to confirm or deny this idea were lacking. “Our data tell us that water can’t accommodate the features we are seeing,” said Naif, a Scripps graduate student and lead author of the paper. “The information from the new images confirms the idea that there needs to be some amount of melt in the upper mantle and that’s really what’s creating this ductile behavior for plates to slide.” The researchers say their results will help geologists better understand the structure of the tectonic plate boundary and how that impacts earthquakes and volcanism. “One of the longer-term implications of our results is that we are going to understand more about the plate boundary, which could lead to a better understanding of earthquakes,” said Key. The researchers are now seeking to find the source that supplies the magma in the newly discovered layer. |

| Venezuela's Capriles discounts Maduro as not being Chávez By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Fighting an uphill battle in Venezuela's election, opposition leader Henrique Capriles scoffs at acting president and rival Nicolas Maduro as a non-entity riding on the memory of Hugo Chávez to hide his own incompetence. In an interview on his campaign bus on Tuesday, Capriles also accused the late president's chosen heir, Maduro, of trying to distract voters from real problems with wild claims including a U.S.-based plot to kill the opposition candidate. "Nicolas does not even reach the ankle of President Chávez,'' Capriles said, comparing his battle for the upcoming April 14 vote with last year's presidential poll against Chávez. "Nicolas' biggest weakness is that it seems he doesn't even exist, the only thing you see in the campaign is the image of the president. Nicolas is just not up to it.'' With sympathy over Chavez's death from cancer this month galvanizing government supporters, Maduro, 50, a former bus driver and long-time socialist stalwart, is favorite to win leadership of the South American oil-producing nation next month. Capriles, 40, is determined to stop that by both attacking Maduro's personal capacity and highlighting the plethora of grassroots problems that irritate Venezuelans, ranging from potholes and crime to power cuts and corruption. The Miranda state governor, a centrist politician who admires Brazil's free-market economics with strong welfare policies, lost to Chávez last year by 11 percentage points. But his showing then was the strongest against Chávez during the late president's 14-year socialist rule. "I was boxing against Cassius Clay! Now I'm facing another boxer, it's a different game,'' said Capriles, changing out of a sweat-soaked shirt as his bus wound its way through the crowd after a rambunctious rally in southern Ciudad Bolivar. "I'd have liked to go back up against the same athlete. Sadly, by God's decision, the president died.'' Maduro and other government officials accuse Capriles of dishonoring Chavez's memory and offending his family with accusations that they lied over the details of his final days. A top strategist on Maduro's team forecast this week that Chávez supporters will punish Capriles for his anti-government barbs and that next month's vote will likely end up in a bigger win for the socialists than last year. Asked about Maduro's accusation that two former U.S. officials plotted to assassinate Capriles, the opposition leader first reeled off a litany of problems facing Venezuelans, from violent crime and shortages of products to rising prices and shoddy roads. "Nicolas has been in government for 100 days. They look like the worst 100 days of these 14 years,'' he said in a typical put-down of his rival, using his first name. "And what does he talk about? A plot. He wants us to talk about Reich, and those things. He doesn't want us to talk about what's important on the street for Venezuelans. That's why I don't pay those claims any attention, they are smokescreens.'' He was referring to former U.S. official Otto Reich. Capriles said that Maduro, who now describes himself as an apostle' of Chávez and often addresses the nation alongside images of his late boss, was part of a discredited group whom even 'Chavista' voters would punish at the presidential poll. Supporters seldom held Chávez personally responsible for their daily problems, often blaming senior officials instead. "For followers of the president, it was the ministers who were the corrupt, inefficient, incompetent ones who did all the damage. Well, that's the group wanting to govern,'' Capriles added in the first interview with foreign media of his campaign. Two opinion polls published this week gave Maduro a lead of more than 14 percentage points. Most analysts believe Capriles faces a near-impossible task to win, especially given the state's superior campaign resources, the popularity of its many social welfare programs, and the high number of Chavistas in most state institutions. "The electoral conditions, the abuses, are worse than before,'' Capriles said, accusing Maduro of acting unconstitutionally by not leaving office while he campaigns. " Our struggle is more difficult but more heroic, more challenging ... It's a divine, spiritual struggle. I believe God gave us an opportunity to unite the country.'' Capriles, a devout Catholic, always wears a crucifix. The government counters Capriles' depiction of the election as a David vs Goliath fight with its own version — that he is in fact the representative of Venezuela's moneyed, right-wing elite in league with U.S. and other Western imperialist' interests. Hoarse but pumped during frenetic campaigning in the vast and mineral-rich southern state of Bolivar, Capriles said there was a limit to how much the emotion over Chavez's death would help Maduro at the ballot box. "Chávez was Chávez. Nicolas is not Chávez. And the president's supporters are realizing that. They don't like Nicolas, '' Capriles said. "I have to fight and try to win. There is a real possibility of winning ... My fight is with the liars and the corrupt ones.'' If he wins, Capriles promises to roll back gradually the Chavez-era socialist economic measures, including currency controls and nationalizations that cowed the private sector. "If I win, I'm sure the profile of Venezuelan debt will improve a lot. Loans will be less costly. I have to reconstruct the economy, generate confidence,'' he said. " U.S. Senate OKs measure to avoid government shutdown By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The U.S. Senate has passed a huge government spending bill, averting a government shutdown next week by funding agencies and discretionary programs through the end of September. The bipartisan 73-26 vote Wednesday sent the measure to the House of Representatives, which is expected to approve it as early as Thursday and send it to President Barack Obama for his signature. The bill keeps in place $85 billion in automatic spending cuts, while providing $87 billion to fund U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. It also keeps in place the current pay freeze for federal workers. Those so-called sequester cuts took effect earlier this month, after Republicans and Democrats failed to compromise on competing plans for dealing with the growing U.S. deficit. Engineers say U.S. lacks adequate infrastructure By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The American Society of Civil Engineers says infrastructure across the United States has improved slightly, but is still below average and may soon fail to meet society's needs. The society issues a report every four years to show the state of the nation's roads, bridges, drinking water systems, mass transit systems, schools, and systems for delivering energy. The society says U.S. infrastructure went from a "D" grade in 2009 to a slightly better, but below adequate, "D+" grade in 2013. The grades given to each infrastructure system range from an "A+" for exceptionally good condition, to an "F" for failing condition. Tuesday's report is the first time since 1998 that the grades rose overall and in several sectors. The society estimates that raising the infrastructure grade to a "B," defined as "adequate for now," would require $3.6 trillion in investment by 2020. That is $1.6 trillion more than what is now set aside for infrastructure repair. Society President Gregory DiLoreto says the United States needs to be "proactive" in taking care of its infrastructure to assure that it will be there for generations to come. Discount on healthy foods said to increase purchases By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Lower prices influence shoppers to buy more healthful food, according to a new study from South Africa. Discover, a South African health insurance company, offered a rebate of up to 25 percent on grocery purchases of fresh fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods. The cash rebate was part of a larger health promotion program. “This has been going on for four years now with hundreds of thousands of people,” said Roland Sturm, a researcher with the U.S.-based Rand Corp. “So, a unique opportunity to really evaluate what can a discount on healthy foods do in terms of shopping patterns, in terms of diet, in terms of obesity.” To find out, Sturm and other researchers analyzed supermarket barcode data, which recorded participants’ purchases of groceries, both healthy and non-healthy. Because each transaction was matched to a credit card, they could track an individual shopper’s purchases from 2009 to 2012. The researchers found that a “25 percent discount on healthy foods will increase the proportion of healthy foods by about 10 percent.” At the same time, the purchases of unhealthy foods went down by 6 percent. Unhealthy foods included sugary soft drinks, candy and salty snacks. To help shoppers make informed decisions, food eligible for rebates was labeled with signs in the store and on grocery receipts. A scientific panel decided which items were eligible. For example, canned fruits and vegetables were okay, unless sugar or salt were added. And only nonfat dairy products were included. “The take-home message here is clear: lowering the cost of nutritionally preferable foods - the healthy foods - can motivate people to significantly improve their diet,” Sturm said. There were some limitations to the study. Participants chose to join the rebate program, rather than being randomly assigned to it. Also, the study only tracked credit card purchases at one grocery chain. Fed will maintain interest at a low level this year By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The Federal Reserve has cut its economic outlook for 2013 but says the unemployment rate is likely to fall faster than previously expected. In a statement following a two-day meeting of central bank policy makers, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke reassured financial markets, saying long-term interest rates would remain low for the foreseeable future. Despite a strong pickup in manufacturing and a much-improved housing market, the outlook for the U.S. economy remains mixed. The Federal Reserve said U.S. growth is unlikely to exceed 2.8 percent in 2013. On the other hand, Bernanke expects U.S. unemployment will fall faster than expected - to as low as 7.3 percent by the end of this year. "Private payrolls are growing more quickly, total hours have increased, the rate of filings and new claims for unemployment insurance has fallen, and the unemployment rate has continued to tick down," Bernanke said. But persistent concerns about government spending cuts, tax hikes, and new signs of instability in Europe continue to weigh on the central bank. As a result, the Fed plans to keep its $85 billion-a-month bond buying program to keep long-term interest rates near zero. The low rates have contributed to an extended winning streak on Wall Street. "The stock market right now is really addicted to this Fed stimulus. I mean if the Fed had given any indication that they were thinking of scaling back the stimulus, the stock market would have sold off very sharply, but instead the market is up," said Greg McBride at Bankrate.com McBride says that's because low interest rates encourage spending and investments in riskier assets. While low rates can help boost economic growth, they can also fuel inflation. Barring a sharp increase in prices, the Fed expects to keep interest rates low until the jobless rate falls to 6.5 percent. Most experts say that's not likely to happen until at least 2015. Guantanamo prisoners are on a hunger strike By
the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
More prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have joined a growing hunger strike that their lawyers say reflects hopelessness about their prospects of ever being freed from the U.S. detention center in Cuba. Twenty-four captives were on a hunger strike as of Tuesday evening and eight of those had lost enough weight that doctors were force-feeding them liquid nutrients thorough tubes inserted into their noses and down into their stomachs, said Navy Capt. Robert Durand, a spokesman for the detention operation. The detention camp at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base in eastern Cuba holds 166 men captured in counterterrorism operations. Nearly all have been held for 11 years without charge. The number of hunger strikers has grown from 14 on Friday, Durand said. The military counts prisoners as hunger strikers if they have skipped at least nine consecutive meals. Two hunger strikers were hospitalized with dehydration, he said. The Obama administration has cleared more than half the Guantanamo prisoners for release or transfer, but Congress has blocked efforts to close the detention camp and made it increasingly difficult to resettle Guantanamo prisoners. Many are Yemenis whom the United States will not repatriate at this time because of instability in that country. Periodic hunger strikes have occurred since shortly after the prison opened in January 2002. More than 50 lawyers representing Guantanamo prisoners sent a letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel last week urging him to help end the current hunger strike. They said the participants' health had deteriorated alarmingly, and that some had lost more than 20 or 30 pounds. The lawyers said hopes were dwindling that the Obama administration would keep its promise to close the camp. They said more than 100 detainees began a widescale hunger strike early last month to protest the confiscation of letters, photographs and legal mail, and the rough handling of Korans during searches of their cells. Durand called the allegations "outright falsehoods and gross exaggerations.'' "The claims of a mass hunger strike and an incident in which the Koran was mishandled are simply untrue,'' he said. "We take extraordinary care to respect the Koran and categorically deny any claims of abuse, desecration or mishandling.'' |

Caja
sent to prosecutors more than 4,000 deadbeats By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The nation's health services agency said that it sent 4,021 cases to prosecutors last year because employers did not pay the social security charges generated by their employees salaries. The agency, the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social, said that the total amount involved was about 3 billion colons. Employers collect some money from the salaries of employees and then have to add a substantial sum to make payment to the Caja each month. Failing to make the payment can be a crime. Most cases are settled through conciliation. Forest fire fighters given insurance policy by INS By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The Instituto Nacional de Seguros said Wednesday that it has donated a death and accident policy to some 918 forest fire fighters. The policy covers those who are in the Brigadistas Forestales Voluntarios of the Sistema Nacional de Áreas de Conservación, The value of the donation is about 5.5 million colons or about $11,000. The policy covers the high season for fires, which is from January to June 20. The policy covers death, medical care for accidents and compensation for disability, said the insurance agency, which is known as INS. Two detained at airport in separate drug cases By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Anti-drug police detained two persons at Juan Santamaría airport in separate cases. An Italian traveler tried to take six vodka bottles that really contained cocaine out of the county to Madrid, said the Policía de Control de Drogas. The woman carried more than seven kilos of cocaine that way in six aluminum bottles. Anti-drug agents say the second case was that of a Guatemalan man who ingested 80 small packets of cocaine. The amount of cocaine was more than a kilo. Jatropha genetic diversity good for hybrids, firm says Special
to A.M. Costa Rica
SGB, Inc., an energy crop company, has identified over two million individual genetic markers in its Jatropha curcas germplasm collection, confirming the non-food energy crop has a genetic diversity comparable to corn and other domesticated crops. This means the plants can be improved through breeding to increase yield and performance, said the firm. Through the use of emerging genetic technologies, SGB’s scientists have revealed that the company’s germplasm collection can be divided into a number of genetically-related groupings of plants. In contrast to previous studies, these findings confirm significant genetic diversity in jatropha which enables SGB breeders to maximize hybrid vigor by identifying the most genetically diverse parental lines to use for the creation of elite hybrid seeds, the firm said. SGB’s first-generation hybrids have outperformed commercial jatropha plantings at 13 hybrid trial sites located across Brazil, India and Central America, the firm said. There are jatropha operations in Costa Rica, and the plant is seen as a source of biofuels. |
