President off to
China to consolidate ties
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
President Luis Guillermo Solís is off to China next week with a handful of ministers and governmental executives. Casa Presidencial said Solís seeks to consolidate relations with China for the long term, some 10 years. Among other projects, the president seeks to establish special economic zones, free trade zones, in Cartago, Limón, Guanacaste and Puntarenas. The president's trip comes at a time when the Chinese economy seems to be slowing and at a time when President Xi Jinìng is asserting more control. The Reuters news agency reported Monday that the Chinese president has called for greater ideological guidance in China's universities and urged the study of marxism. The news service attributed the information to state media and said the country continues to tighten control on Western ideology. Xi's comments are the latest sign of his politically conservative agenda and come amid a ratcheting up of controls over the media, dissidents and the internet, it said. Solís is scheduled to meet with Xi. During his visit, Solís is expected to accept an honorary doctorate at Renmin University of China, which is beginning a Latin America studies program. With Solís will be Manuel González, the foreign minister; Alexander Mora, minister of Comercio Exterior; Celso Gamboa, minister of Seguridad Pública; Olga Marta Sánchez, minister of Planificación, and Carlos Segnini, minister of Obras Públicas y Transportes. Also going are a group of business operators seeking markets and capital.  Ministerio de Gobernación,

Four bus
stickup suspects caught
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Four men stuck up a bus driver Sunday night near Río Banano on the Caribbean coast. Police said they were able to collar four suspects and said they obtained evidence of the heist, including the driver's wallet. The bus was bound for Puerto Viejo, Limón, said the Fuerza Pública. The crime happened about 9 p.m. Crooks broke several windows on the bus and caused several explosions, said police. Grenades thrown at newspaper building Special to A.M. Costa Rica
Two men staged a hand-grenade attack on a newspaper in Venezuela. Two fragmentary grenades were hurled at the building of the newspaper El Siglo in the city of Maracay, Aragua state. The attack, which occurred early Sunday morning, resulted in no injuries but caused damage to the security booth and three vehicles struck by the shock wave, the newspaper reported on its Web site. Two assailants, captured on video by the security cameras, hurled two explosive artifacts at the newspaper’s building, only one of which exploded. The reason for the attack was not immediately known and no group has claimed responsibility for it.

| Presidential economics panel will coordinate major projects |
|
|
By
the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The mission of the Consejo Presidencial Económico is to coordinate within various ministries the goals and projects of the central government. The panel consists of vice ministers and other representatives of ministries, said Casa Presidencial Monday. President Luis Guillermo Solís has decreed that the economics council will meet every 15 days. Chief among the concerns are the creation of a government city to house much of the bureaucracy and the proposed $30 million convention center. The council is supposed to promote economic development, develop quality employment and combat poverty and reduce the economic inequality as well as promote an open government that fights against corruption, according to the announcement. The Solís administration is trying to reduce the expenses for rental properties to house government functions. Shortly after he took office in May he began talking about the construction of buildings to centralize the work of the government. |
He is not the
first to make this proposal. Former president Óscar Arias
Sánchez wanted to develop a governmental complex just east of
Parque
Nacional and north of the park on property owned by the railway
institute. Nothing ever happened because of the need to evict private
parties and expropriate land. The convention center seems to be on hold while complaints about bids are resolved. Ground was supposed to be broken west of San José last month, but now the start probably has been pushed forward until the middle of 2015. The convention center has been promoted as a way to bring visitors to Costa Rica, but there has not been a clear and detailed accounting given to the public as to how the government will make money on the project. A $30 million investment would need to generate some $58,000 a week to provide a 10 percent return. The project is under the supervision of the Instituto Costarricense de Turismo, which has access to a flow of arrival taxes paid by visitors. Such projects in some U.S. cities have become expensive white elephants. |
| There is much more than teasing bulls to be found at Zapote |
|
|
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The lure of the Zapote fiesta is much more than groups of daredevils teasing bulls in an arena. Much of the action is outside the bull ring. There are food vendors with massive amounts of arroz con pollo and other hardy foods piled up for purchase. There are carnival rides. And there are the beer outlets, usually with bands, music and dancing. The food and other health aspects of the fair are inspected continually by a dozen municipal workers. Nearly every day one or more outlets are closed down because the food is not at the correct temperature or for other health violations. The carnival rides are inspected, too. Police flood the fairground and conduct random checks mostly on the young. They find marijuana, knives and individuals named in arrest warrants. The location is south of the Registro Nacional. Parking is at a premium, so most visitors use public transportation. Police said that over the weekend they detained a handful of individuals who were engaged in altercations in public, perhaps as a result of the beer outlets. One man was held for domestic violence, they said. Despite the police presence, pickpockets and other thieves gravitate to Zapote. Police suggest leaving home valuables and all but the necessary amount of money. For those who can't get enough of the carnival food, rides and beer, the Palmares festival begins a 20-day run Jan. 14. |

| Do media with emphases on terror and epidemics generate fear? |
|
|
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
While terrorist beheadings, the ebola epidemic and immigration were on the minds of many Americans this year, the way they were covered by U.S. media and hyped in campaign ads prompted commentators to wonder whether the country has been overcome by fear. "It is especially disturbing, that a nation like the United States, which is unprecedented in its power, unprecedented in its resources, can live in such a fearful state," said Rev. Gene Robinson, a retired Episcopal bishop who is now a fellow at the Center for American Progress. In a column he writes regularly for The Daily Beast online magazine, he decried the pandemic of fear that preceded the midterm elections in November. Political candidates often play up public fears to get elected, and this year attack ads showed ebola workers in hazmat suits, immigrants attempting to cross the Mexican frontier under the cover of darkness and the beheadings of journalists and humanitarians by Islamic militants in the Middle East. "Evil forces around the world want to harm Americans every day," an ominous voice began one ad in a congressional race in the border state of Arizona. Deseret News of Salt Lake City, Utah, suggested that media coverage had made Americans overly afraid. It cited a poll by the Public Religion Research Institute which found that one-third of respondents were very concerned or somewhat concerned that they or someone in their family could be harmed by terrorists. "The likelihood of being a victim of a terrorist attack is fairly slim, statistically speaking," researcher Daniel Cox was quoted as saying. "But that doesn't mean that fear is any less palpable." The response to the ebola scare was a topic of conversation at the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association, held in Washington, D.C., in early December. Doug Henry, a medical anthropologist at the University of North Texas, said the quarantines imposed on aid workers |
returning
from
helping ebola patients in Africa, “weren’t exactly governed by science.” By contrast, he said, fear has been harnessed as a positive force in public health in campaigns against smoking and distracted driving. "What we have seen from this epidemic is that if you have just fear, and just fear messaging, in the absence of any self-efficacy messaging - in other words, messaging that shows people how to handle a response - it can actually have maladaptive social behaviors - driving the epidemic underground, mass panic, hysteria." Fear has played a role before in American politics. In his 1933 inaugural address, President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously declared: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself!" But media observers said the hyperintensive, self-reinforcing style of coverage common today on news shows was having a magnifying effect. "Have you been paying attention to the news lately?” comedian Jon Stewart, who skewers American media coverage in his Daily Show, asked in October. “You might have heard: we are all going to die!" Gregory Button, a disaster researcher at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, who was also at the anthropological conference, sees no evidence that Americans were any more concerned about these threats than in previous years. “There’s always a level of uncertainty and fear in any culture,” he said. “It’s a constant that we live with on an everyday level.” A former journalist, Button says the threats are a cultural construct. He points out that number of deaths terrorists have caused in the United States is dwarfed by traffic accidents, which kill more Americans every two years than died in the entire Vietnam War. "Cultures selectively choose which social problems they are going to focus on,” he said, adding: “Sometimes it seems irrational." |

| Search broadened for jet believed down in Java Sea By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The search for the missing AirAsia jet has resumed off Indonesia with officials believing the airliner may be at the bottom of the Java Sea. But Indonesian search-and-rescue officials say they will expand their efforts to include land, hoping the plane may be on an island. The United States is sending the Navy destroyer USS Sampson to help with the search efforts. Several other nations have also offered help, including Australia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Flight QZ 8501 with 162 passengers and crew was about halfway into its flight from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore when it disappeared Sunday morning. The pilot asked air traffic controllers for permission to ascend about 1,800 meters to avoid stormy weather. An Indonesian Transport Ministry official said permission was denied because another plane was flying in the area. Air traffic controllers then lost contact with the jet The passengers include 149 Indonesians, 3 South Koreans, and one each from Britain, Malaysia, and Singapore. The crew included 6 Indonesians and a French co-pilot. Coming just nine months after the loss of a Malaysian jet that remains missing, the disappearance of AirAsia Flight 8501 is rattling many in a region where air travel and violent storms often intersect. A day after the AirAsia jet disappeared during a storm, nervous passengers arrived in Singapore, having flown the same route from the Indonesian city of Surabaya. "It's eerie," said passenger Nicole Go. "And the flight just now was really bumpy, and so, I don't know." Weather often an issue for pilots in Southeast Asia A pilot who has flown commercial airliners in the region said weather -- including sudden storms -- has always been an issue for planes in Southeast Asia, and that pilots and controllers often have to rely solely on radio communications instead of newer and quicker technologies. Before it disappeared from radar, the crew of the missing AirAsia plane asked to fly at a higher elevation to avoid some clouds. “Some weather patterns, strong convective activity to aircraft of any size and so that’s why you see commercial pilots deviating around really strong cells of weather,” said Keith McGuire who is with the University of Southern California’s program for aviation safety and security. But McGuire, a former regional director with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, said it's still way too early to blame weather for the loss of this plane. “As new facts come in, it’s just human nature, there’s a tendency to look at it and say, ‘Oh, maybe this is it . . . ,” he said. “But this early in the game, no, a professional investigator isn’t going to be jumping to any conclusions.” For now, authorities are promising to look at every possibility. Indonesia’s president told a news conference he ordered a review of all aviation procedures and processes. Meanwhile, AirAsia Chief Executive Tony Fernandes and other company executives are doing their best to calm a jittery public. “There’s a deep sense of depression here, but we’ll stay strong,” Fernandes said He said AirAsia has carried 220 million people to this point and that “we are confident in our ability to fly.” Prime suspect in murder of VOA newsman detained By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Police in northwestern Pakistan say they have detained a key militant commander who is accused in the 2012 killing of a reporter for Voice of America's Deewa Radio. Deputy Inspector General of the Mardan region, Mohammad Saeed Wazir, said that police arrested Pakistani Taliban commander Irfan Khurasani and two of his associates at a checkpoint near the town of Charsadda in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, after getting tipped off. Authorities also seized at least 100 kilograms of explosives from their vehicle. Wazir said Khurasani, who went by Amanullah, was wanted in connection with a number of incidents, including extortion and attacks on schools, security forces and the killing of journalist Mukarram Khan Aatif. Aatif, a reporter for Deewa Radio, was gunned down Jan. 17, 2012, during evening prayers at a local mosque near his home in the town of Shabqadar. He had faced repeated threats from militants, and the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the killing. Aatif's nephew and Deewa reporter Arshad Muhmand was with Aatif at the mosque when he was shot. Muhmand said that his uncle was killed because he worked for Voice of America. Aatif had been working for VOA since 2006. Pakistan is one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists. Muhmand said he and other reporters in Pakistan's northwest continue to face threats from the Taliban. Local groups are urging journalists to be extra cautious following the Dec. 16 massacre at a school in the city of Peshawar that left nearly 150 students and teachers dead. Chinese marketers beginning to promote brands in U.S. By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Chinese brands are having a tough time gaining recognition in America, where many U.S. consumers cannot identify them. Those consumers include a couple in their 20s, who were shopping recently at a warehouse in Arlington, Virginia. "I’m trying to think of an actual Chinese-branded product, and I can't really think of anything," said Patrick Hamilton, after coming out of the Costco branch in Pentagon City. His partner, Sarah Friedman, also was baffled. "I can't think of a single one," she said. Neither could several other shoppers who also had visited the wholesale club, which sells Chinese-branded items such as televisions from TCL and Hisense. But Hamilton said he was aware that many consumer goods sold at stores such as Costco are Chinese-made. "You hear that Apple products and other things are made in China," he said. China is the largest source of imports to the United States, but two 2013 surveys of U.S. consumers by marketing company Millward Brown and e-commerce firm HD Trade Services showed that only 6 percent of respondents could name at least one Chinese brand. Doreen Wang, head of Millward Brown's global brand database BrandZ, says the main reason for Americans' lack of awareness is that many Chinese companies are in the early stages of marketing their brands to those consumers. "Putting Chinese-branded products into U.S. stores does not mean that you have established a brand in consumers’ minds," Wang said. "You need years of effort to accumulate brand equity, which is a measure of how well consumers know the brand and how much they love it, want to use it and recommend it to their friends." Chinese mobile phone messaging app WeChat is one example of a recent Chinese-branded entrant to the U.S. market. With 468 million monthly active users around the world, WeChat is one of the biggest international social networks. But, it only began researching how to promote itself to Americans last year. Other companies making initial attempts to woo U.S. consumers include one of China's most prominent jewelers, Lao Feng Xiang Jewelry, which opened its first U.S. outlet in New York in February, and China's Hainan Airlines, which began flying to its third U.S. destination in June, adding Boston to its Seattle and Chicago routes. HD Trade Services says some of the recent Chinese entrants to the United States have struggled to market their brands effectively. Poor sales prompted Chinese sportswear maker Li-Ning to close its only U.S. retail outlet in 2012, two years after opening it. Li-Ning also shut down the e-commerce section of its U.S. Web site last year. Many of China's biggest companies have been focused on establishing a strong brand identity at home rather than trying to appeal to Americans. Wang identified three notable examples, including China Mengniu Dairy, the country's largest dairy company, New Oriental Education & Technology Group, the largest Chinese provider of private educational services, and JD.com, the top Chinese direct sales e-commerce provider whose business model is similar to U.S. giant Amazon.com. Jessica Vaughn, a writer for U.S. marketing research group JWTIntelligence, says another reason for the low Chinese brand recognition is that China served as an original equipment manufacturing hub for foreign brands for much of the 20th century. "It has only been in recent years that Chinese companies have started to focus on building multinational brands of their own," she said. Some Chinese companies also have chosen to acquire American-owned brands and keep the original brand names rather than market their own names to U.S. customers. In one such acquisition, China's Geely Automobile bought the Volvo Cars division of U.S. automaker Ford in 2010 and retained the Volvo brand. U.S. population is expected to reach 320 million in 2104 By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The Census Bureau said the U.S. population grew a bit less than 1 percent over the last year and will hit 320,090,857 at New Year. The U.S. population is growing because there is one birth every eight seconds and one international migrant arrives every 33 seconds. That outpaces U.S. deaths, which occur every 11 seconds. The United States has the third highest population in the world but lags far behind China, which has 1.36 billion people, and India, at 1.25 billion. U.S. Census experts estimate the total world population will be 7.21 billion at the turn of the new year. Reaction to ebola crisis generates some victories By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
In 2014, the ebola virus erupted in West Africa. The epidemic remains a humanitarian crisis of epic proportion. More than 20,000 people likely have been infected by the virus, which so far has killed at least 7,842, the World Health Organization reports. The epidemic began quietly in rural southeastern Guinea in the last days of 2013. The ebola virus then raged through Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. It made forays into Nigeria and Mali, killing more than a third of those it infected, including doctors and caregivers. In its wake, ebola left behind thousands of orphans. This has been the biggest and most challenging ebola outbreak since the virus was identified in 1976, according to the World Health Organization. More than 20 outbreaks in other parts of Africa have been much more easily contained, said Tom Kenyon, who heads the Center for Global Health at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia. Where those earlier outbreaks have occurred, "the local public knows it is ebola and takes measures to stop it," Kenyon said. "They stop touching sick people. They stop touching dead bodies and bury them safely. They wash their hands with bleach solutions and don't touch one another. That will stop the outbreak." But in West Africa, where the virus previously had not surfaced, even doctors were caught off guard. "There’s lots of belief that it’s a curse, that a witch came and caused these things to happen to people," said Leisha Nolen, a physician in the centers' Epidemic Intelligence Service. As a disease detective, she has gathered research on the epidemic in both Liberia and Sierra Leone. There and in Guinea, she said, civil wars left residents fearful of outsiders and unwilling to work with them or to change practices that spread the disease. Unlike in the remote areas of Central Africa, people in the three affected countries used to travel freely between rural areas and major cities, as well as across borders. "Movement is actually a big problem in this outbreak in that people continue to move and continue to expose new populations to the infection," she said in September. All three countries have since established checkpoints to take temperatures and screen for the ebola virus. Some airlines suspended flights to West Africa, amid calls for travel bans as a few cases were reported in the United States and Spain. But health officials and the United Nations opposed such measures on the grounds that they would further isolate the countries, depriving them of needed medical personnel and supplies and increasing the likelihood of the disease spreading. As U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said at a Nov. 21 news briefing, "We need to avoid travel bans, discrimination against health workers and other steps that would isolate countries when they need help most." Guinea’s ministry of health first formally acknowledged the current outbreak in March. On March 31, the medical charity Doctors Without Borders warned that the outbreak was unprecedented in its geographic spread. In June, the organization's director of operations, Bart Janssens, issued a stronger statement, saying the outbreak was out of control and required a massive infusion of international health workers, resources and equipment to curb its spread. In August, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. In September, President Barack Obama announced the United States would ramp up its efforts to fight the epidemic, beefing up humanitarian aid, support for awareness training and medical missions. The Defense Department deployed nearly 3,000 troops to West Africa to speed the delivery of medical personnel and supplies and to build treatment centers in Liberia. Other countries, organizations and individuals also sent aid. By mid-December, the World Health Organization's chief, Margaret Chan, reported signs of hope in some areas and new outbreaks in others, especially in Sierra Leone. "We must maintain our vigilance. Complacency would be our enemy," Dr. Chan had said a month earlier, noting then that the rate of infection for new cases had slowed. "… We have been successful in bending the curve a bit. But we need to continue to do more to get to zero." Despite fast-tracking potential ebola treatments and vaccines, prevention methods plus early treatment and basic care remain the best hope for survival. |

By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Over the span of several U.S. election cycles, there have been calls for comprehensive immigration reform to fix a system that people on both sides of the political spectrum agree is broken. But some observers say President Barack Obama’s recent executive action aimed at temporarily shielding some undocumented foreigners from being deported may have doomed his longer-term goal of forging a comprehensive agreement with Congress. Obama’s recent executive action allows some four million undocumented residents in the United States to seek temporary legal status. But without congressional approval, he cannot achieve comprehensive immigration reform. Republicans, who won majorities in both houses of Congress in November’s midterm elections, replied through Speaker of the House, John Boehner. “Instead of working together to fix our broken immigration system, the president says he is acting on his own," he said. "That is just not how our democracy works.” Tony Payan, director of the Mexico Center at Rice University’s Baker Institute, says Obama's action will help a lot of people come out of the shadows and "essentially, become a little more integrated, in a legal, formal sense, into the American economy and the American society. "But it was also very counterproductive because I feel that it polarized many of the Republicans who might have been willing to do something on immigration,” he added. While some undocumented immigrants support the move, others have mixed feelings about what they see as a temporary fix. Payan says there are concerns about applying for legal status under this temporary measure. “Once they surrender their personal information to the government, once the government knows who they are and where they are and if the next president is not willing to extend that temporary protected status, then they are going to be found very quickly and to be denied,” he said. Republicans say they want to secure the border with Mexico before approving other measures. The surge of Central American immigrants at the Texas border earlier this year underscored this concern. Republicans also oppose Democratic proposals for a so-called pathway to citizenship, which they see as a ploy to increase the Democratic voter base. But Houston immigration attorney Charles Foster says most immigrants seek legal resident status, not full naturalization. “If you look at the last big legalization bill signed by President Reagan, in the last 40 years, barely 30 percent have even gotten around to applying for citizenship,” he said. Foster says the immigration issue has divided the Republican Party. “While the business community is very supportive of immigration reform, there is a very vocal wing of the Republican Party that is adamantly against everything,” said Foster. Analysts say it may still be possible for the Republican-controlled Congress and President Obama to achieve agreement on at least some parts of immigration reform next year, but that full reform is more likely to be delayed until after the 2016 presidential election. |
