3,900 earthquakes in 2011
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The country sustained 3,900 earthquakes in 2011, but most were not felt by the population. The Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica has released a report that also focuses on the flurry of quakes in the mountains south of San José. There were at least 200 quakes there in 2011.
There were three new quakes there New Year's Eve, but the magnitudes were between 2.4 and 2.8. The quakes took place between 1:46 and 2:11 a.m.
An earlier quake at 1:16 a.m. took place in the mountains northwest of San Ramón.
The observatory said that some 92 quakes in 2011 could be classified as felt earthquakes. The month with the most felt quakes was July with 14.
The quake with the greatest magnitude, 5.9, was May 13 at 4:47 p.m. That took place six kilometers north of Santiago de Puriscal. The quake was felt all over the Central Valley. A quake July 12 registered a magnitude of 5.3. It was near Guacalito de Upala. It caused some slides in the vicinity of Volcán Miravalles.
Emergency officials have moved to increase their monitoring of the area bounded by Orosí de Cartago, Patarrá, Frailes and San Marcos de Tarrazú area. This is where several quakes are taking place each day.
Home invasion hits
family in Paso Ancho
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The holidays usually are the time for home burglaries, and some Central Valley residents returned home over the weekend to find their home pillaged.
But home invasions continue. Thursday six armed and masked men broke into a home in Paso Ancho about 8:30 p.m. and tied up family members there. The Judicial Investigating Organization said the intruders took electronic equipment and four cell telephones.
Neighbor held in murder
of 79-year-old Guácimo man
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Two armed men assassinated a 79 year old Thursday night in his home in El Bosque in Guácimo. Just three hours later, judicial agents detained a 21-year-old neighbor as a suspect in the crime.
The victim, identified by the last name of Elizondo, was at home with his wife when the men appeared. They wounded him fatally but took nothing from the home. The victim died a short time later in the Hospital de Guápiles, said the Judicial Investigating Organization.

|Mafia gambling figure extradited to stand
trial in New Jersey
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Another clue to Mafia influence in Costa Rica came to light last week with the extradition of Frank Cetta, a trusted member of the New Jersey wing of the Lucchese crime family.
Cetta was the Costa Rican manager of a 20-person wire room
Cetta, now 73, had a first appearance in court Wednesday morning where bail was set at $350,000. Judge Philip J. Maenza ordered that if Cetta posts bail, he must surrender his U.S. passport, submit to a bail source hearing, and execute a waiver of extradition. Cetta is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday at 9 a.m. before Morris Superior Court Judge Thomas V. Manahan.
Lucchese crime family links to Costa Rica have been known since at least December of 2002 when the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York announced the arrests of 27 alleged mobsters, and said that the investigation has turned up a gambling link to Costa Rica in which employees in the United States were channeling bets to Costa Rica via telephones.
The alleged Mafia members arrested then in New York mostly were members of the Lucchese crime family. Earlier the same
|year in May the personal bookmaker
of the Gambino family crime boss
John Gotti, Dominick Curra, was arrested here, and he was believed to
have maintained some kind of betting operation in the La Sabana
Oficentro where he was arrested.
Cetta's operation focused mainly on sports bettors. But it was not the place where U.S. bettors would call to put money on their favorite team.
Instead it was a wire room, a place where the administrative operations were handled for the U.S.-based bookmakers. Cetta had a low profile in the Mafia administration, but his son, Michael A. Cetta, was a major figure. The younger Cetta is a Bonnano crime family associate but has close ties to the Lucchese family through marriage, according to prosecutors. The Bonnano crime family also is one of the five Mafia gangs in New York.
Frank Cetta appeared in a 2007 affidavit of some 195 pages. Some wiretap transcripts quoted him giving the results of the daily action to Joseph M. Perna, one of the mob's leaders in New Jersey. The discussion was with code words. Bookmakers who used the Costa Rica wire room were recruited by Perna and others, and each bookmaker had daily bets of at least $50,000 to $60,000. In one telephone exchange, Pern introduces a new bookmaker to Cetta in a three-way conversation.
Cetta was arrested in Costa Rica Dec. 5, but that was not made public then. He fought his extradition on health grounds but was not successful. He had been a fugitive for more than a year.
The Division of Criminal Justice noted that in May 2010 agents arrested and charged another fugitive in the case, Brian Ronald Cohen, 63, of Buffalo, N.Y., who allegedly ran the gambling operation's Web site and the technical aspects of the Costa Rican wire room.
"Organized crime cannot evade our determined efforts, not even by hiding in Central America," said New Jersey Attorney General Paula T. Dow. "Frank Cetta is charged with crimes that reached from Costa Rica to New Jersey. We've demonstrated that the reach of justice is equally long. We are grateful to the U.S. Marshals Service for their efforts in apprehending this fugitive."
"Frank Cetta allegedly was responsible for minding the store in Costa Rica for the Lucchese crime family, making sure things ran smoothly at the offshore hub of their multi-billion dollar gambling operation," said Director Taylor. "With the aid of the U.S. Marshals Service and Costa Rican authorities, we have brought him to New Jersey to face prosecution."
|Judge orders British murder suspect to
prison for six months
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Agents still are trying to figure out a motive of why a British tourist brutally murdered a Czech female in her tent at a research site.
The woman arrived in Costa Rica Dec. 10 and began her stay at Finca La Libertad in Aguas Claras de Upala. She was identified by the Poder Judicial as Alexandra Drbohlavova, 22.
The finca specializes in biodiversity tourists and the Fuerza Pública characterized it as an experimental farm.
The prime suspect, was identified by the last names of Mill Saunders, 20. He arrived in Costa Rica Tuesday. British newspapers said his name was Alfred and that he was the son of a university professor and that his mother was a psychoanalyst.
|Ms. Drbohlavova is believe to have
been a student.
The Spanish-language media has painted this as a sex crime, but the suspect is accused of murdering the woman viciously and then lingering at the location awaiting arrest.
The crime took place about 10 a.m.. The two individuals had tents some 20 meters apart. Agents interrogated the British tourist Thursday, but the results of that session are not available. A judge ordered him to be confined for six months while the investigation progresses. A judge also issued a search warrant for his tent. Investigators want to know if the couple knew each other before coming to Costa Rica.
The finca owner discovered the body after he heard a scream and went to investigate, said the Poder Judicial. He then detained the British tourist. Agents said they confiscated a knife.

Wildlife Conservation Society photo
Adult jaguar, nicknamed Kaaiyana, is seen with her cubs.
|Jaguar mom and cubs cited as proof of
park foundation success
Special to A.M. Costa Rica
The Wildlife Conservation Society has released a dramatic photo of a female jaguar and her two cubs near the Isoso Station of the Santa Cruz-Puerto Suarez Gas Pipeline in Kaa Iya National Park in Bolivia. The adult jaguar, nicknamed Kaaiyana, has been seen with her cubs in the area for over a month; though conservationists have confirmed she has been a resident in the vicinity for at least six years.
"Kaaiyana's tolerance of observers is a testimony to the absence of hunters in this area, and her success as a mother means there is plenty of food for her and her cubs to eat," said John Polisar, coordinator of the Wildlife Conservation Society's Jaguar Conservation Program.
At more than 13,200 square miles (34,400 square kilometers), Kaa Iya national park is the largest protected area in Bolivia and safeguards the most expansive and best-conserved dry forest in the world. It is found in a transition zone between Chacoan and Chiquitano dry forest ecosystems and includes unique vegetation and rare wildlife such as giant armadillos, Chacoan titi monkeys, and Chacoan peccaries. The creation of Kaa Iya in 1995 marked the first time in South America that a protected area was established through the initiative of an indigenous group, the Guaraní-Isoceño people.
The Wildlife Conservation Society has conducted extensive research in the area and estimates that at least 1,000 jaguars live in the Gran Chaco Jaguar Conservation Unit, a 47,000 square-mile (124,000 square kilometer) area spanning southern
| Bolivia
and northern Paraguay. With support from the Liz Claiborne and Art
Ortenberg Foundation, the Wildlife Conservation Society is promoting
conservation action across the Gran Chaco.
The construction of the 1,900-mile (3,100 kilometer) Bolivia-Brazil gas pipeline that cuts across Kaa Iya national ark and the Isoso indigenous land required developing institutional alliances to minimize environmental impacts, said the society. With the participation of private energy companies, which make up Gas TransBoliviano (GTB), as well as the Isoso indigenous organization, and an independent member, the Kaa Iya Foundation was created in 2003 as a mechanism to deliver a match with Wildlife Conservation Society funds to conduct wildlife research and environmental education in the park, which is funded and managed by the Bolivian government.
Among the research efforts first supported by the foundation were jaguar surveys. Kaayiana was first detected by researcher Andrew Noss at the Isoso site in 2005 with male jaguars, and again in 2006 with a cub. The Kaa Iya park guards work with gas company personnel to prevent illegal hunting and settlements along the right-of-way to the gas pipeline and ensure the protection of wildlife, including jaguar prey, in the park.
"The photographic histories of jaguars in the area by Wildlife Conservation Society and the reproductive success of this female are testimony that conservation efforts have been effective," said Julie Kunen, the society's director of Latin America and Caribbean Programs.
|Internet scamsters used vehicle Web
sites to trap their victims
Special to A.M. Costa Rica
A federal grand jury in Los Angeles has indicted six foreign nationals on charges related to an Internet sales scheme that allegedly defrauded Americans who attempted to purchase automobiles and other vehicles on the Internet through Web sites that included eBay Motors, Auto Trader, Yahoo Auto, Edmunds.com and Craigslist.
The 24-count indictment, which was returned Thursday afternoon, alleges a scheme in which vehicles were offered for sale on various legitimate Web sites. Money was subsequently collected from victims across the United States and supposedly put into escrow accounts with PayPal and eBay Motors. The money was then siphoned from the accounts with millions of dollars being sent to Europe. Not one vehicle was delivered to the hundreds of victims who lost more than $4 million during the three and a half years the scheme operated, according to the indictment.
The charges are the result of a probe by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, the Internal Revenue Service 's Criminal Investigation and the U.S. Secret Service.
The indictment alleges conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, nine counts of wire fraud, eight counts of bank fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering and four counts of money laundering. Additionally, the indictment seeks the forfeiture of property and money illegally obtained through the scheme, including more than $4.2 million in U.S. currency. If they are convicted of the charges in the indictment, the defendants would each face sentences that could total hundreds of years in federal prison.
"As more people use the Internet to conduct everyday transactions, we are increasing our efforts to protect consumers from fraud artists committed to taking hard-earned money from consumers who are increasingly comfortable doing business in cyberspace," said U. S. Attorney André Birotte Jr. "This case demonstrates our ability to track down even the most sophisticated fraud artist who attempted to hide behind false identities and the perceived anonymity of the Internet."
The indictment alleges a scheme in which members of the conspiracy offered vehicles, including automobiles, motorcycles, motor homes and boats, for sale on various Web sites. After the purchase price was negotiated through
|telephone and email
communications, co-conspirators emailed fraudulent invoices to
purchasers. The fake invoices appeared to be from eBay, Edmunds.com,
PayPal, and Google Checkout, and the documents often bore the names and
logos of these legitimate companies. The victims were instructed to
wire the agreed-upon purchase price into bank accounts they thought
were related to the escrow companies, but had in fact been set up by
members of the conspiracy who often used false identification to open
the accounts.
The fraudulent invoices falsely represented that the funds would not be released to the purported sellers until the purchasers had received and approved the purchased vehicles, and victims were further told that they had the option of returning the vehicles at the seller's expense within a week of receiving and inspecting the vehicle.
Despite receiving the purchaser's funds for the vehicles, the indictment alleges, the defendants did not provide any vehicles to the victims, said prosecutors..
At least 110 bank accounts were opened to fraudulently receive proceeds derived from the Internet sales scam, according to the indictment. From Sept. 4, 2007 until Oct. 5, 2010, victims deposited at least $4 million into the fraudulent bank accounts.
The fraud charges alleged in the indictment each carry a statutory maximum penalty of 30 years in federal prison. The money laundering charges alleged in the indictment each carry a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
Those charged in the indictment are:
• Corneliu Stefan Weikum, 37, a Romanian national who lives in Berlin and is currently in federal custody in Nevada;
• Yulia Mishina-Heffron, 23, a native of Yekaterinburg, Russia, who is in federal custody in Nevada;
• Sergej Bugaev, 38, a Russian national and resident of Berlin, who is currently in state custody in Orange County;
• Alexander Brem, 34, a native of Kazakhstan who lives in Berlin;
• Marina Talashkova, 24, of Yekaterinburg, Russia; and
• Rihards Avotins, 21, a Latvian resident.

Mobil wins case
against Venezuelan takeover
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
An international arbitration panel has ordered Venezuela to pay oil giant Exxon Mobil $908 million in a contractual dispute - less than 10 percent of what the company sought for the country nationalizing its assets.
Exxon Mobil had sought $7 billion in its arbitration claim filed four years ago for the Cerro Negro project in the Orinoco oil belt that President Hugo Chávez nationalized.
He also ordered the state-run Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. oil company to take over three other oil venture projects in the same area run by foreign companies. Those arbitration claims are pending.
Chávez has been criticized for waging government control over Venezuela's oil industry because his efforts have made some investors reluctant to do business there.
Opposition party wins
Jamaican legislative vote
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Jamaica's opposition leader, Portia Simpson Miller, is promising to lead an open government following preliminary election results that show a large victory for her party.
Ms. Simpson Miller told supporters after Thursday's general election that she wants a partnership with the Jamaican people, the private sector and the media.
Ms. Simpson Miller is set to again become the country's prime minister following a win by her opposition People's National Party. Election officials say preliminary results show the party won 41 seats in the House of Representatives, two thirds of the total seats.
A final vote count is expected in the coming days.
The campaign director of the ruling Jamaica Labor Party conceded defeat Thursday on a national television broadcast. Karl Samuda said "We have not won. The people have spoken."
Ms. Simpson Miller became Jamaica's first female prime minister in 2006 but narrowly lost re-election the following year.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness from the center-right Jamaica Labor Party had fought to retain his position just two months after he was sworn in. The 39-year-old took power when his predecessor, Bruce Golding, resigned in a scandal over his handling of a U.S. extradition request for a notorious drug gang leader.
Now, Ms. Simpson Miller faces the task of leading her party in lowering Jamaica's 13 percent unemployment rate and tackling the country's debt-ridden and stagnant economy.
Observers said the voting was mainly smooth and peaceful, a change from previous elections marred by violence.
2012 predictions muddled
as was the 2011 economy
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
After a tough year in which the global economy faced one headwind after another, U.S. economists are weighing in on what is in store for 2012. When it comes to the U.S. budget, unemployment and the crisis in Europe, many believe 2012 will bring more of the same.
From the U.S. budget showdown to fears of a double-dip recession, 2011 was a year when the economy muddled from one crisis to the next.
Economist Mark Vitner at Wells Fargo Bank said that in many ways, 2012 will probably look a lot like 2011.
"The first half of the year, growth is likely to come in below expectations. We're likely to see fears of recession crop up, particularly if things in Europe get a little dicey, but by mid-year or certainly by late summer, the data should turn a little bit more positive," said Vitner.
By then, the campaign to choose the next U.S. president will be in full swing. Jobs are expected to be on people's minds. And with an economy projected to grow too slowly to reduce the unemployment rate of 8.6 percent, economist Beth Ann Bovino at Standard and Poor's said jobs are likely to remain scarce.
"I'm expecting the unemployment rate to go up a little bit more, stay at 9 percent through the year, and then start to come down as the recovery gets a little bit more momentum," said Ms. Bovino.
Economist George Perry at the Brookings Institution takes a more optimistic view.
"Unless the Europe situation blows up, or if I'm wrong on the China situation and China doesn't speed up, I think the U.S. unemployment rate will be lower at the end of the year than it is now," said Perry.
Nigel Gault at IHS Global Insight said the bigger threat comes from economic stagnation in the 17 countries that use the euro.
"The eurozone is the single biggest threat, not just from a eurozone recession. It's from the risk of recession combined with a eurozone financial crisis that develops into a major global financial crisis. In the worst case, it could be as bad as we saw in 2008, 2009," said Gault.
Most economists say all bets are off if struggling nations such as Greece decide to abandon the euro. Adding to worries is the intense focus on national debt, both in the U.S. and abroad. While necessary, many economists say in the short term, spending cuts and austerity measures can only weaken an already sluggish global recovery.

October – December 2011, Catoz, Komikebir, Lefkara, Kaymakli
Workshops on traditional Cypriot handcrafts and trips to villages were they still flourish, organized by HASDER. The Cypriot youth grabbed the chance to get involved in traditional knitting, woodcraft, silk and cocoon production (23 October 2011, HASDER Folk Arts Institute) as well as in traditional pasta making and "Sesta" or "Tsetsos" knitting (20 November 2011, Catoz and Komikebir). They learned about traditional lace-making and silversmithing at Lefkara (27 November) and enjoyed themselves with food, music and dancing at the traditional Henna Night (2 December 2011, HASDER premises in Kaymakli).
Ali Nebih, HASDER president:
"The Hope Chest project aims to increase awareness for traditional Cypriot crafts, to conserve common cultural values and to create a culture of peace. With its workshops and observatory visits Hope Chest creates a peaceful environment for young people, where they can get to know each other and share cultural values."

It provides flexibility of the service since you can use this on your desktop or with the application of the mail. This account is most comfortable and convenient way to make your contacts portable. Because of these features, it became popular in a short period. If you sell merchandise or services, you need a reliable electronic mail like Hotmail. If your business is expanding and the transactions keep coming, you need a lot of Hotmail accounts. You need not pay for signing up, but you need to verify every single Hotmail account you created. This is where the importance of PVA comes in. Hotmail PVA is a good option for the people to have effective marketing for the product and service. People use their business address as an email address for their contact with the customers.
Where You Should Buy Hotmail PVA
Hotmail PVAs are necessary for marketing on Hotmail. Unfortunately, if you expect to get any actual results from advertising on Hotmail, you have to have multiple verified accounts. Otherwise, you're entirely at the mercy of your competition. Phone verified accounts have benefits beyond dealing with your competitors. We, as experts in internet marketing, can increase your online visibility because we believe that in the competitive world of Hotmail advertising, you'd be selling yourself short by not buying phone verified accounts. Our group of professionals will ensure that your accounts will be delivered quickly and in the most quality way. We make sure that won't be labelled as a spammer.
Why Buy From Us
Our Verified Accounts Are New And Not Recycled
We do not recycle old Hotmail verified accounts. Recycling of accounts may seem innocuous at first, but let's think about this a little bit. Chances are since you're getting a PVA, another marketer has been using it. Have you ever bought a cell phone and started receiving collection notices and phone calls from someone you've never met? It was pretty irritating, wasn't it? This same, precise issue can be your headache if you get a recycled phone verified account. Only this would be more likely to include matters directly related to their business, like customer complaints. That's not a very big deal, but there are more problems with getting a recycled Hotmail PVA. You will inherit the previous owner's Hotmail "karma." You don't have any way of knowing what kind of businessperson they were. They could have been a habitual spammer, and this account could have been discarded either because Hotmail was about to ban them, or maybe Hotmail already did. Either way, you could wind up with a PVA that will be banned as soon as you start using it or there won't be much use left in it.
Get Express Service With Your Hotmail PVA Purchase
Another benefit if you buyHotmail PVA from us is the express service. You do not want to wait any longer, and you shouldn't have to. Again, time is of the essence of online business, and a week-long wait for your accounts could be disastrous. Express service can close the gap between your order and its delivery to the same day. In Hotmail marketing, you can't lose more than a few days, or else you're ancient history. Hotmail marketing moves quickly, so should your Hotmail PVA service.
The More Hotmail PVA Accounts, The Merrier
We lower the unit price if you buy Hotmail PVA accounts in bulk. Chances are, you're going to need a lot of PVA accounts throughout your career, so you'll naturally want to save as much money as you can. You might be asking as to "Why would I want several Hotmail PVA accounts, isn't one enough?" Unfortunately, the answer is, "No." With only one account, you can't advertise your business well. Also, you have an unfair competition to deal with, who would flag your posts just because you're their competitor. If you get flagged, you run the risk of getting banned. Besides, you might want to run multiple advertising campaigns for different items and services. Again, if you make too many advertisements, Hotmail will think you're a spammer. Having many PVAs will get around these issues.
With all that in mind, you must be careful about crossing the line into being a spammer. It's all too tempting to buy cheap Hotmail PVA available, but you do not know if you have a good future on it. We deliver quality PVA accounts, BUY NOW.

Dammit, body. You were supposed to spring into action around Epiphany, ready to start a new year of eating right and exercising hard. Instead...
It's been a hard week. Over a week, in fact, of being a congested, tired, achy, brain-foggy mess. At least I can console myself that everyone else in the city also has this virus right now. But worse, I started to feel my mood tipping into a dark place it hadn't been for a long time... hard not to feel that way when you're sick and the numbers in your bank account are slipping down past the safety zone, with no big job to push them back the other way. I was starting to feel as if I was standing on the crumbling edge of a cliff. I was/am too tired to exercise, too sick to watch every little thing I ate, too broke to afford a Grand Gesture or a fancy event to cheer myself up. The nagging voice of self-doubt started creeping in: How could I be loveable, with my straggly uncut hair showing months of roots (and grey), my belly rounded from holiday overindulgence, my tissue-reddened nose and glassy tired eyes? How will I ever make a living making music? Would I be forced to live forever as my brother's tenant, unable to afford my own apartment? Had I made the wrong decision in cutting myself off from the summer job and northern towns I love so much?
When my guy offered me a small, easy photography gig with a bit of money attached, I grew insecure and snappish, sure that I couldn't do what he needed, although he assured me that it was a simple job. Although I ended up doing it, I was needy and grumpy about the whole thing.
I decided we needed a date night, since I'd hardly seen my sweetheart since New Year's Eve. Although I'm still feeling gross, I rallied- 2 nights ago- and dressed up. Pretty skirt, classy fishnets with the seam, even curly hair, because I know he likes it. He called: he was feeling stir-crazy and wanted to get out. Maybe we could meet up earlier and go for a ride on the bike before dinner? I started seething, thinking of having to change out of my carefully-chosen outfit. I'd wanted to feel dressed-up and civilized, not climb on the back of a motorbike in the cold evening air... I snapped at him, unwilling to bend, to re-write the script in my head. Then I called back and apologized for snapping at him- "Did you snap at me?" he asked, puzzled. Again, the script I was writing in my head, the one called I Am A Terrible Girlfriend And He's Probably Going To Leave Me Tomorrow, was completely different from what was going on in his head, where he was feeling bad for being irritable at me because he'd had a frustrating day, and was just looking forward to seeing me and maybe taking me out for a spin because he knows I love riding on the back of his motorbike whenever I get the chance.
We met. His eyes gleamed at the skirt, the stockings and the curls. He parked the bike and we walked- me mincing a bit in unaccustomed heels- to the cheap but fun place I'd picked for us to eat at. And even though the bike broke down (later) and the movie we'd picked to go to was sold out, we managed to make our own fun. We always do. And the black mood that had sat with me for days slowly lifted. He loves being with me. He loves that I know the words for obscure things (he can't get over the fact that I knew that the word for a monk's shaved head is a tonsure). He drools at my fishnetted legs and curled hair, but is equally inclined to say "god you're hot" when I'm standing in front of him with bed-head, sweatpants and no makeup. He makes me laugh with his stories and his imitations of his friends, he draws me cartoons and plays my music for his friends; he takes me for motorbike rides and always, ALWAYS gives me the warmest gloves when we do, and insists that I borrow his hats when it's raining. I can't believe it's only been 3 months since we first met (in fact, it's exactly 3 months today). It's time to stop writing those glum scripts in my head and try to roll with things a bit more. Because this one's a keeper.
One of my favourite bloggers has a post that touches on this as well. You can read it over here; it's what inspired me to write this post.
On a completely different note... the Oscar nominations are out! I don't know why, but this year, I'm pretty excited about them (well, partly because Grand Budapest Hotel made the list and I think that it was a damn fine movie). Although I probably won't watch the Oscars (I'd rather watch paint dry, honestly), I DO want to spend the next couple of months watching as many of the nominated movies as possible, including the docs and the foreign films. When I do, I'll blog about it here. (I'm definitely inspired by this guy, who also worked up in Barkerville this summer, and who is a smart and funny writer.) Hey, if nothing else, watching movies at home is something my guy and I both love to do together. And it's dirt cheap.

Damn, but those black clouds can be hard to lift. One of the things that I am realizing is that happiness and sexiness are for me, a complete mind exercise. Sometimes I literally have to will myself there, but the thing about happy and intimacy, they are pretty awesome and you don't want to leave once you're there.
I am so glad that you guys had the flirty fishnets and curly hair date. I am beyond delighted that my words in any way played a role.

Congress | Declarations
Declaration on Labour Market Flexibility
Adopted by COSATU Special Congress, 19 August 1999
This Special COSATU Congress notes with anger the calls by sections of business, both white and black, for greater labour market flexibility. This call is an attempt to roll back all the social gains introduced since 1994, and to take us back to the apartheid labour market.
We note that the old apartheid labour market was both very flexible, and in the words of the presidential Commission of Enquiry set up by then president Mandela in 1996
" Labour market policy was, arguably, the centrepiece of apartheid`s mechanism of social control and its economic growth strategy. Poverty, discrimination and inequality were the hallmarks of its workings and consequences".
We note the vast inequalities in wealth and income between top and bottom in our labour market:
with wages in organised workplaces in the bulk of manufacturing at less than R500 a week, and in fact some factory wages as low even as R70 per week,
in mining R230 per week,
in the public sector the lowest wage is about R400 per week,
in the commercial service sector Rx per week,
on farms Rx per week,
in domestic employment Rx per week.
We note too that some CEO`s are earning R135 000 per week.
It is precisely because a democracy cannot accept such destitution amidst plenty, that we introduced new policies and new laws.
The reforms of the labour market were started with the democratic transformation of 1994. This embraced new laws such as the Labour Relations Act, the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, the Employment Equity Act and the National Skills Act.
Now sections of business want to take us back to the past. They want a flexibility that means no standards.
They want the right to hire and fire as they please, in the passage, without due process or a fair reason, and to casualise labour contracts, so that they can have a `rent a black` employment relationship: rent workers by the hour, the day or the period you need them, then discard them.
They want the right to pay bitterly low wages, so that those at the bottom in society, after a hard day`s work, still starve.
They want to promote small business not because they want job creation, but because this will be a convenient way to cut their costs through subcontracting work from companies where we are starting to gain reasonable standards, to the new sweatshop economy.
They want to reduce the powers and coverage of central bargaining agreements to force negotiations back to plant levels in order to frustrate the negotiation of decent industry standards.
What is noteworthy is not the attitudes of the traditional employers of labour, but that sections of black business has been co-opted so quickly.
They too are happy to promote policies that will require that the poverty of workers is the means of their enrichment. Instead of joining workers in calling for wealth redistribution from the historically privileged, they now want simply to let workers pay the price, through lower wages and no regulation, to make them wealthy businessmen.
COSATU will not accept this.
We will defend the gains made in the transformation of the labour market.
We will not let Bargaining Councils be weakened through tampering with the provisions to extend agreements to non-parties.
We will not give up the protection which workers have against unfair dismissal.
We will not let working conditions in the small business sector drop to sweatshop levels.
We will defend the rights of workers, won through hard battle.
We call for labour market policy consistent with the vision adopted by the COSATU Central Committee in 1998.
We call for the strengthening of the Labour Relations Act in the following areas:
The prohibition of scab labour;
Exclude the right to lockouts;
Improve disclosure of information requirements, including a provision that entitles unions to information on the package of CEO`s as part of collective bargaining;
Prevent the loophole of `independent contractors` being used by unscrupulous employers to by-pass the employment relationship;
Improve the severance pay provisions to four weeks per year of service;
Require sub-contracting arrangements with an employment impact to be negotiated with representative trade unions;
Change section 189 to require retrenchments to be a matter for negotiation;
Ensure that `dismissals` for operational requirements explicitly refer only to instances where a company has no alternative, rather than for any `objective reason`;
Protection for secondary strikes should be improved;
Protection for workers whose companies are sold should be improved.
We call for a change in the Insolvency Act in the following areas:
To ensure that the Act does not exclusively protect the position of `creditors`, but that it makes provision for companies to be saved on social and public interest grounds;
To require the liquidator to use the period of judicial management to maximise job retention;
To amend the section of the Act which terminates all employment contracts during the provisional liquidation phase;
To give proper and adequate preference to worker claims during insolvency, by making it the most preferred level of claims;
To consider the setting up an independent and compulsory guarantee fund to make provision for payment of all workers claims, including outstanding wages, when a company goes into liquidation, and the insolvent estate is unable to pay out these claims;
Directors and shareholders of an insolvent company/close corporation should be liable to prosecution and if guilty, to imprisonment should worker statutory contributions not be met out of the proceeds of the liquidation.
We call for a change in the BCEA in the following areas:
A legislated 40 hour working week;
No downward variation of the standards in the Act;
Implement the other package of proposals agreed within the alliance to strengthen the BCEA and address the problems of workers.
Programme of Action on Jobs and worker rights
As COSATU we commit to the following program of action in defence of our rights:
Rolling mass action
A campaign at the shopfloor: industry by industry: every week we focus on a new sector, with action in defence of jobs and labour rights:Auto
Gold mining
Public sector
Paper and print
Coal, platinum and diamond mining
Provincial action
(Details to be added)
General strike if demands of Federation are not achieved
(Timing to be agreed)
