Most accurate calendar
November 18, 2011
I am looking for the most accurate calendar. With even increments and no exceptions(leap years).
I am trying to find a method of measuring time that does not have exceptions(leap years) and is highly accurate. This system would preferable have the same amount of "days" in each "month", use a 10base system(like metric), or use increments that are even fractions of other increments.
Of course the system would be based off of the rotation of the earth, the position of the earths path around the sun, and the moons position around the earth as well.
Does such a method of measuring time exist, and if not, then what is the closest recorded method developed?

No such method
exist, because the number of rotations of the Earth (days) in a revolution of the Earth around the Sun (year) is not an integer.

I think that's why "days" is in quotation marks?
I'm not sure of any calendar system that does not use a standard 24-hour day, though.

The problem with this is that those are not integer multiples of each other. The Earth goes around the sun once in the period it take Earth to rotate 365.25 times. If you want to keep a year analogue that contains one full cycle of seasons, and a day analogue that contains a full day-night cycle then you'll always end up with this problem.
If you got rid of months and made a week 5 days long then there would be an integer number of weeks in a year. Number each week. You'd still have leap days and leap seconds though.

I agree with madcptenor. More explicitely, you have to fudge one relationship or another - either your clock-day won't match your solar-day, or your calendar-year won't match your solar year.
We chose the second one, because having a shifting day is more confusing than having a shifting year. BUT, you are free to pick the first one, if you so choose. Depending on how precise you want to be, the earth takes roughly 8766 hours to go around the sun. Divide that how you like. Or if you want to avoid the possibility of leap-seconds start from how many nanoseconds the average revolution takes.

Hmm. Well, there is technically
Unix time
. It's quite accurate as long as you get rid of the concept of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years...
Well, not so accurate for older computers on old-style January 19, 2038 when every 32-bit Unix system will
have a bad day

The length of a day is not constant.
Nor is the length of a year.
If you measure these things by the number of vibrations of (usually) a caesium atom, you will find that attempting to define a standard 'year' is impossible. As a consequence, atomic clock times must be periodically adjusted to take into account these minute variations.

I'm not sure why you say 'Of course.' The speed of the rotation of the Earth, the revolution of the Moon around the Earth and the Earth around the Sun - these things change over time.
Frankly, what you want is the Unix Epoch, or something similar that counts the number of seconds from an arbitrary point in time; atomic clocks can measure this time to within very, very tiny fractions of a second. You can then divide this time up as much as you want, to make more human-scale time units - for example, One Megasecond roughly 12 days long. But all you're doing is marking off arbitrary blocks of seconds, which are the arbitrarily defined fundamental SI unit of time.

Yep. Pick your fundamental unit of time based on your desired application and add SI prefixes. Want to make it the year? Well, a deciyear is 5.2 weeks or 36.5 days. A centiyear is 3.65 days or 87.7 hours. And so on. Or you could do the same with days or seconds.
Or switch to
(though you'd have to develop it first).

It depends on which requirement is most important to you, because they are not all possible. Personally, I like a variation of the old Roman calendar (before the addition of July and August). Ten months of thirty-six days, with five days of festival at the end. Six days of festival on leap years.

Many people have tried this
(some are

You can't get everything you want, which has frustrated every effort over the last two millenia I can think of, excluding the Julian-Gregorian switch (which took a
very very very long time
to get everyone to adapt to, and that's only if you're
not picky about how you define "everyone."
I'd say that of the calendars I'm familiar with, the Republican Calendar is the closest to the (frankly not very useful) metric concept, and I can't think of a system that attempts to stick to a solar year of some kind that doesn't have to deal with leap days. It's one of those "the universe was not built to adhere to your need for symmetry and order" things.

To my understanding, I would be better off trying to define two types of time measurement. One could be ... per say the radians in degrees the earth current position compared to the sun and the center of the galaxy, and a second one would be a constant measurement of time, like fractions of the speed of light?

Well, we already have that to some extent. Days and years are a units based on celestial position, and seconds/minutes/hours are units based on physical constants (atomic clocks). The problem arises when you try to make a hybrid system.
(I don't follow the center of the galaxy part --- are you going to account for the fact that the solar system is revolving around the galactic center?)

There's always good old Unix Time, which measures the number of seconds since Jan 1st 1970 (~1321669100 as I post this). Doesn't meet your other requirements, though, and I'm not totally sure what it does with leap seconds.

Just how bad would it be to let the day = 86400 SI seconds and the year = 360 days? The length of the year, 31104000 seconds, is easy to remember -- 2^10 * 3^5 * 5^3 seconds.
This definition of 'day' is pretty close to the current long-term average rotational period of the earth, differing by less than 1 second per year (<30 parts per billion). In the far future the earth's rotational period will become markedly different than 86400 SI seconds, leading to trouble with the definition. But in the next thousand years or so you won't have to worry that rules like "the sun is approximately overhead at noon" will become false. (
this page
suggests that two leap hours will be required the late 30th century and that 24 leap hours will be required by the 64th century)
What about the length of the year? To a first approximation, in a 360-day year the seasons will move by 6 1/4 days per year; if you're a farmer you'll want to refer to an almanac to find out when to plant crops. The seasons will move by about a half year every 29 years, so if Christmas in your youth was in the winter, it'll be a summer holiday for your own children. (by comparison, the celebration of Ramadan moves by about 11 days every calendar year, and this doesn't cause any great problems). You have lots of choices for the lengths of weeks and months, as the year is 2^3*3^2*5 days long—perhaps you'd like to have 12 30-day months, with each month divided into 5 6-day weeks.
You could also let the year = 365 days. This gives a year of 31536000 seconds, which takes away some of the small and pretty factors of the 360-day year and replaces them with the unlovable number 73: 2^7 * 3^3 * 5^3 * 73. Now, the seasons only move by 1/4 day per year, and a farmer who has learned what week of the year to plant his crops will only need to learn a new rule every 28 years or so, or just 2 or 3 times in his career. In 100 years, Christmas only moves something like 1/3 of a season, so there's no need in a human lifetime to think of a holiday as moving from one season to another. You don't have a lot of choices for the lengths of weeks or months, as the only numbers dividing the length-of-year-in-days are 5 and 73.
Our system lets the year = 365.2425 days on average, or 146097 days per 400-years. 146097 = 3^3*7*773, so you do have some options about how to divide up this very long cycle—but as it's longer than a human life, nobody would really become familiar with the whole cycle if you do this. And none of the factors are particularly related to the year or lunar month: that big factor, 773, is about 2.12 years, so it wouldn't relate to anything like terrestrial seasons very well; neither is 3^3*7 very close to a half year, being about 3% longer. Likewise 3*3*3 is not particularly close to the length of a lunar month in days.
Anyway, those are the consequences if you keep the definition of the SI second and set the second, the day, and the year to all be related by simple whole multiples.
You could also define the day as 1 period of the earth's rotation, and define the civil second as 1/86400 day (or any other division that you prefer). Now, there will be no long term problem with the sun, but somebody will have to publish frequent (yearly?) numbers relating civil seconds to SI seconds. The relationship will be something like 1 civil second = 1.00000002 SI seconds now; in the far future the difference is likely to become bigger; very long term (and very suspect) calculations suggest that around AD 60000, we might have 1 civil second = 1.0000116 SI seconds. There are still the same problems with setting the length of the year in days, as discussed above. Far enough in the future, it might not even be practical to update the relationship between the SI and civil seconds as infrequently as once a year.
Of course, there's a rather drastic solution available to you: change the earth's rotational and orbital speeds so that you can establish the simple, fixed relationship between seconds and larger time spans that you desire. Particularly if the greenhouse effect continues, it seems plausible that you could move the earth out far enough to establish a 400-dayyear without making the earth uninhabitable. Change the rotational speed and the definition of 'hour' so that a day is 25 hours and now you've established a year of 10000 hours (you can also have the week of 4 days = 100 hours and the month of 40 days = 1000 hours = 1/10 year); divide the hours into further powers of 10 if you like, establishing a new second of 1/10000 or 1/100000 of a day. Instead of leap seconds, hours or days you'll just have to fire the engines at intervals determined by the world's smartest engineers. Of course, even with future tech rocket thrusters that can actually change the earth's motion this drastically, you'll need to spend at least centuries accomplishing this change so as not to cause an untenable number of excess earthquakes and other tectonic events.
I suspect that you will still not be able to both establish a lunar orbit that is a nice multiple of anything else in this system without giving up nice eclipses, which are improved by the relative parity of the apparent size of the sun and the moon. Instead, I'd modify the moon's orbit so as to give more frequent and striking eclipses without regard to how it fits into the calendar. (though you could just modify the moon's diameter so that it remains the right size while giving it an orbital period of e.g., 32 or 40 days) Similarly, the arbitrary motions of the planets are likely to remain an irritation, though maybe engineering in an even longer term can give them all nice round orbital periods as well.
You may find that it's easiest to abolish religion before undertaking this change in the earth's parameters; otherwise, there may be an undue amount of outcry about just how to determine when e.g., it is the sabbath day, when is it time to pray, when is it time to serve chocolate in the shape of a rabbit, etc.

You couldn't measure time accurately even if you do not base it on the earth or the sun. The length of a year changes, the orbit of the earth is not circular. Everything slows down.
If you want to get really crazy and precise, you need to wrap your head around the fact that the flow of time changes depending on your location and speed. Satellites orbiting the earth measure time differently than clocks on the surface of the earth. Everything is relative and there is no absolute time.
Clocks and calendars work (in general) on human-scale because we don't care or notice the errors.

Modern time standards are all defined by setting a reference point in time and counting the number of reference periods that have elapsed since the reference time with a standardized clock. In addition, because of relativity, we have to choose a frame of reference for our clock.
All modern standards use the second as their reference period. The historical second was defined as 1/86400 of a solar day, but unfortunately the solar day is now known to not be a fixed period. The modern reference period is the SI second, the definition of which is currently derived from a fundamental and invariant property of nature (i.e. the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom). This is our modern standardized clock. As defined the SI second is close to 1/86400 of a mean solar day in about 1820.
Thus all modern time standards are derived in an elapsed number of seconds. For historical reasons modern time standards use a reference time based on 1 January 1977 00:00:32.184.
The modern calendar is derived from this time standard. We start with
Geocentric Coordinate Time (TCG)
. TCG is equivalent to the time experienced by our standardized clock in a coordinate frame at rest with respect to the center of the Earth but is infinitely far from the Earth (i.e. a clock that performs exactly the same movements as the Earth but is outside the Earth's gravity well and therefore not influenced by the gravitational time dilation caused by the Earth). Of course, this is not practical for timekeeping on Earth.
However, based on TCG, we can define a time standard for Earth.
Terrestrial Time (TT)
is that standard. TT is a theoretical ideal, which real clocks can only approximate, and is not dependent on a particular realization. In relativistic terms, TT is described as the time of a clock located on the Earth at mean sea level. TT is approximated by observation, and in practice it is possible to make better estimates for TT based on reanalysis of historical data. Because it is awkward to use a time standard that results in past events retroactively occurring at new times as the realization of the standard is refined, we use yet another standard.
International Atomic Time (TAI)
is that standard. Unlike TT, TAI is never revised once published, TAI is essentially the best estimate for TT at the moment at which it is measured. As such it is possible for errors in it to become known and remain uncorrected, TAI "wobbles" with respect to the idealized TT. However, the mean solar day is now slightly longer than 86400 seconds since the Earth's rotational speed is very slowly decreasing due to tidal deceleration (a day is currently approximately 86,400.002 seconds). Because of this TAI noon is slowly diverging from solar noon as the duration of the mean solar day increases. This leads to our next time standard.
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time (i.e. civil time). Coordinated Universal Time is based on TAI. The only difference between the two is that UTC is occasionally adjusted by adding a leap second in order to keep UTC noon within one second of solar noon. This leap second is added approximately every 500 days, but because the Earth's actual rotational speed varies on unpredictable factors such as tectonic motion, exactly when leap seconds become necessary is based on observation, not computation. UTC is adjusted so that our common experience of a day matches a standard day, the point at which the time standard begins to interact with traditional solar calendars.
The solar calendar we are most likely to be familiar with is the
Gregorian calendar
. The modern Gregorian calendar is based on UTC, but like UTC it needs occasional adjustment. The Gregorian calendar inserts a leap day occasionally in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the rotation of the Earth about the sun. Because the astronomical year is not a whole number of days, a calendar that had the same number of days in each year would, over time, drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track (i.e. seasons would drift relative to the yearly calendar, Christmas would no longer be in Winter, etc.).
All of this is to say, modern calendars are essentially just a count of SI seconds (an arbitrarily chosen duration) since an arbitrarily chosen point of reference. Everything else layered on top is just adjustments to facilitate people's expectations (i.e. noon should be when the sun is high in the sky and Christmas should occur in winter).

The most accurate calendar is the
POEE calendar
from the Principia Discordia.
Five lovely months of 73 (50+23) days for 75% of the years, with St. Tib's day in the fourth year. I suggest you stay drunk and/or in a meditative trance for the entirety of St. Tib's day.

Mourinho believes Schurrle and Van Ginkel can become Premier League stars
7/11/13 in Soccer | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes his team is capable of competing for the top honors. The Portuguese tactician suggests the new and old faces at the club will make Chelsea a force to be reckoned with next season. Jose Mourinho hailed Chelsea's new signings Andre Schurrle and Marco van Ginkel and insisted they were ready to shine in the Premier League.
The former Real Madrid manager will attempt to steal the Premier League crown from Manchester United this season. Jose Mourinho, who is preparing Chelsea for the preseason tour of Asia, admits he has been impressed by new faces at the club during the preseason training sessions at Chelsea's Cobham training ground.
Jose Mourinho is expected to bring in a couple more players before the transfer window ends, yet the former Inter Milan manager hailed the players Chelsea had already signed in. The 22-year-old Germany international, Andre Schurrle received special praise from Jose Mourinho. The young Belgian midfielder Marco van Ginkel also received praise.
"Andre Schurrle is still so young but he already has great history because he plays in his national team, he has played Champions League and he played three complete seasons for Bayer Leverkusen," Jose Mourinho told Chelsea's official website.
"He is a player who is absolutely ready and he gives us more than one position in attack and adds quality. He will be important for us. Marco van Ginkel is one of the best prospects. He is not yet like Schurrle - close to being a finished product - but he is a player with great potential.
"Of course he needs to play and he will, because he is a player with great potential and physically he is more than ready. He is a natural athlete. By the technical and the tactical point of view of course he is a kid, he has to learn, but I think he is very open-minded and we analysed him for quite a long time.
"The Chelsea scouting department did it for quite a long time and I did it in the last five or six months, and we made a collective decision to bring the kid here."
Jose Mourinho showered praise upon the Chelsea squad for their ability to adapt and support another manager. Jose Mourinho is the third manager Chelsea have reinstated in the last 12 months.
The self-proclaimed "Chosen One" also revealed that the club's youngsters Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne and Tomas Kalas will be provided with opportunities in the first-team this season. The trio recorded impressive loan spells at their respective clubs last season.
"They are good players with a very good value in the market and we have these players this season for free, after an investment that the club did before," Jose Mourinho said talking about the trio.
"After the development of the players on loan it is the right moment for them to be back. They are very young with space to develop, they will be better year after year and I can imagine in five years they are much better than today, but what they have today is more than enough to belong to this squad.
"We have a team to develop, we have a team to work. Of course we know there are expectations already and we want to create expectations for ourselves, we don't need other people to create them.
"So we are a very young squad. We have an average age of 26.3 and the reality is the best period of this team has yet to arrive. In five, six, seven years' time, this team will be in the best moment of their careers."

But if, like me, you think they're just trying to do some sort of promotion for recycling (you know, the green arrows), it could have you posting things you don't mean to post. Just FYI.

Filed under "Holy Cow!"
The Associated Press is reporting that Joran van der Sloot has confessed to killing the young Puruvian woman in his hotel room. (Apparently Peru is better at interrogations than Aruba!)
"LIMA, Peru — Dutchman Joran van der Sloot, long the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of a U.S. teen in Aruba, has confessed to killing a young Peruvian woman in his Lima hotel room, a police spokesman said.
"The broadcaster America Television reported that Van der Sloot killed Flores in a rage after learning she had looked up information about his past on his laptop. It said it had access to details of the confession but did not cite its source."
"Peru's chief police spokesman, Col. Abel Gamarra, told The Associated Press that Van der Sloot admitted under police questioning Monday that he killed 21-year-old Stephany Flores on May 30. …"
"Van der Sloot's confession came on his third full day in Peruvian police custody, on the eve of a planned trip to the hotel in which he was to participate in a reconstruction of the events leading to Flores' slaying, Gamarra said."
"Gamarra said the case would now be turned over to prosecutors to present formal charges and Van der Sloot will be assigned to a prison while he awaits trial. Murder convictions carry a maximum of 35 years in prison in Peru and it was not immediately clear if a confession could lead to a reduced sentence. …"
"Holloway's father told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday that Van der Sloot should tell all he knows about the disappearance of his daughter."
" 'He confessed to this one … I would like for him to tell everyone what happened' in the earlier case, Dave Holloway said. 'Hopefully this is his last victim.' "
"A fixture on true crime shows and in tabloids after Holloway's disappearance, he gained a reputation for lying — even admitting a penchant for it — and also exhibited a volatile temper. In one Dutch television interview he threw a glass of wine in a reporter's eyes. In another, he smashed a glass of water against a wall in a fury."
"The 6-foot-3 (191-centimeter) -tall Van der Sloot had been held at Peruvian criminal police headquarters since arriving Saturday in a police convoy from Chile, where he was captured on Thursday. …"
"Flores, a business student, was found beaten to death, her neck broken, in the 22-year-old Dutchman's hotel room. Police said the two met playing poker at a casino."
"Video from hotel security cameras shows the two entering Van der Sloot's hotel room together at 5 a.m. Saturday and Van der Sloot leaving alone four hours later with his bags. Police say Van der Sloot also left the hotel briefly at 8:10 a.m. and returned with two cups of coffee and bread purchased across the street at a supermarket."
Pay special attention to this quote. Here's the difference between five years ago and now:
"The suspect's father, a former judge and attorney on the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba, died in February. Van der Sloot has two brothers."
So what do you think about his confession? Should Natalee Holloway's parents feel better now?
June 8th, 2010
10:34 am
I don't think anything will make Natalie's parents feel better. Theie daughter is likely dead. Will they be glad to see him rot in a jail, probably!
I definitely think the death of his father made it much easier for them to catch, detain and charge him. Perhaps now (without protection and influence from dear old dad) they can find out once and for all what happened to Natalie.
June 8th, 2010
10:46 am
His confession will not take the loss from Natalie's parents, however, seeing him behind bars will lessen their angst a notch by knowing he isn't prowling free. Hopefully, if it is possible for psychopaths to "man up", he will do this. God Bless Peru!

Why is your article so biased? What about Beth profiting over 100$ million Dollars after Natalee's disappearance? What do you have to say about that? You're probably going to say:"oh yes, her daughter is missing so she deserves the money". Ofcourse not! The money donated to her was to search for Natalee! Not to use it for her beach-house, facelift and cars. Think about how cruel of a person Beth is by making money off the disappearance of Natalee!
June 8th, 2010
10:52 am
I have watched him with interest since Natalee went missing.
Prime example of spoiled little rich boy, protected at every turn in his young life.
What the van der Sloots have put the Holloways through, is unforgiveable.
It does make me wonder if there's not more victims out there.
Girls that came from poor families that simply "disappeared".
A prison sentence in Peru is certainly worse than the death sentence.
Imagine going from his pampered life to that.

Is it just me, or does the media only care about nice looking white, blond girls who get killed? Or is it just that the sensationalism is too bright of a light for media moths to not gravitate to?
Here in CO, the Ramsey girl gets killed and it's national, a couple years later in Denver a black girl the exact age of the Ramsey girl is killed under mysterious circumstances in a lower socio economic circle, and the big story about it is the hypocrisy of why it didn't go national too, not the tragedy of her death.
Van der Sloot confesses to the murder of a latina, and what the media cares about is how this affects the Holloway family and how they feel. Not even one mention of the grief and sorrow the parents of Stephany Flores must feel right now. In TWG's solicitation of opinions about this topic there's not even a gesture of sympathy (sincere or fake) for this latest victim and her family, but rather, should this provide some kind of solace to the Holloways. I guess in some way, they've suffered more than the Flores.
I'm not a big "the media is racially motivated" activist…but I swear, sometimes I do see where they're coming from.
June 8th, 2010
11:04 am
What a creep. I'm sure this latest young woman's family is sick to death knowing if they would have put this basta*& away after the first time this might not have happened to their daughter. He lied from the beginning. Not that lying makes you a murderer but just reading the stories made me suspect he was guilty. Now, we know he is capable of rage and killing. Those poor girls. Makes me sick to my stomach. Yes, they did go with him, BLAH BLAH BLAH but back in my college days I would have been drinking and might have been in the same situation thinking nothing could happen to me. I just got lucky, and these girls did not. I hope he rots in prison or worse.
June 8th, 2010
11:36 am
His father being dead is the first thing I thought about too… there's no one to protect this sleeze ball now and I'll bet he never hears from his brothers again. They're probably just as happy to see him get his due justice as the rest of us.
June 8th, 2010
12:00 pm
It's just sad all around. I think that if I was Natalee's parents, this would just re-open old, painful wounds with fury that another family had to go through losing a child under such tragic circumstances.
Rest in peace, Natalee and Stephany. And Joran, I hope God forgives you — because I know I never could.
June 8th, 2010
12:04 pm
I fell sorry for both families, I can't even imagine what they are going thru..Like others, I feel like this man (or whatever)was so used to being protected by his Dad, that he never gave any thought to his ugly ways..
I hope that both families can (maybe) find some peace in him being in jail..Even if he didn't actually kill (?) Natalee, I think he had something to do with her missing body, therfore, I hope that this is his OJ moment.
June 8th, 2010
12:13 pm
Very interesting. I didn't know his father was in that position in Aruba. Makes sense now why everything was so hinky with that case, even with his many conflicting confessions. The whole thing is sick. I think his either killed Holloway or at least got rid of her body. Why else would he have killed the other girl. Sad that the max penalty is 35 years, because he is still young so he'll eventually get out of prison. He deserves much worse.
June 8th, 2010

Tiger makes a valid point. Of all the people who get kidnapped and/or murdered, we only hear of the white ones. During the Lacey Peterson case, there were at least 3 other pregnant women in the San Francisco area that vanished. We never heard of any of them, as they were Latina or Black. Same thing with Maddie (the child in Portugal). There have been thousands of child abductions, the media is transfixed on this little girl. While I don't doubt that Natalie's mom has mourned the awful loss of her daughter, she and Lacey's mom have made a tremendous amount of money in books, movies and media events. Why are their lives more important than some of the others? There is also so little talk of why Natalie would have even gone off with a stranger and was drinking at her age. I am not implying that she deserves any this, buts he did behave recklessly. I also agree that Teresa focuses only on Natalie, and not Stephany. I am a white woman, but do feel that there is extreme bias in the media. Had Natalie been Black, the focus, if any were given at all, would certainly have been on her teenage drinking and possible promiscuity.

@TWG….an apology isn't necessary. I wasn't opining on you, per se, but rather you and your journalist ilk. Part of me doesn't even blame journalists for highlighting the most sensationalistic parts of any story, because I have this feeling that the pushback from the media will be, "well, that's the part of the story that sells papers, so the consumer basically tells us what to focus on." And that's a valid point.
Part of me wishes that there were still journalists who focused on the important issues instead of the sensational ones, and that there was a market of consumers who cared enough to keep those journalists employed. In the age of Fox News vs MSNBC, O'Reilly – Rush – Beck vs. Franken – Oberman, I'm beginning to think there never was a golden age of journalistic virtues.
June 8th, 2010
12:31 pm
@TWG…and I do believe you that you feel for the family of Stefany Flores….but I also believe that the STORY here for most of media outlets is Natalee Holloway and Van Der Sloot, not Flores.

5 US Soldiers were killed yesterday in Afghanistan effecting parents… Yet the author of this blog is typical of America – let's focus on the killer of the pretty white girl because its popular. Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow may not come. Ostrich syndrom.

Is it really that hard for the parents on this blog to understand that his father probably really believed his son's innocence?
What if your son is accused of this? We always wonder, what if something terrible happens to my child, but what if your child does something terrible? How do you deal with that?
And Nancy Grace is the worst person ever.

I'd forgotten about his father's position in Aruba, but now I remember how that played a role in everything that happened five years ago . . . I remember believing he was involved, but that his father was standing in the way.
Didn't he once confess to being involved in Natalee's disappearance and then retract it? Or am I confusing another story?
I do believe the Peruvian police probably are more harsh in interrogations. I wouldn't want to be on the other end of an interrogation in any Latin American nation – guilty or innocent! So while I do believe he's guilty, I also wonder about the methods used by Peruvian police.
I also believe there probably have been other victims. What's the chance he only did this twice, and both stories made headlines? There probably are other victims.
June 8th, 2010
2:01 pm
@Imno..Yes, there (probably) are plenty of us on here that always want to believe in our own childs innocence..Some with very good cause, some not..But this young man confessed that he was involved in Natalee's body missing..BIG difference..Don't you also think it's strange that he's been involved with one young girl that is presumed dead and one that is dead? How often does that happen in one persons life?

While I agree with Tiger that crimes on middle-class white women tend to get disproportionate attention, the coverage I've seen this week, including the full AP article, have given significant attention to Stephany Flores and her family as well. This post has been more Holloway-focused tham most of what I've seen (not trying to pile on Theresa, and I know she didn't mean to focus only on the one family, it's just what I've observed).
I don't think the death of Judge van der Sloot makes much of a difference here. Flores' father said earlier this week that Peru won't let him get away like Aruba did, and he's right. Peru never would have cared about his father's position or tiptoed around the family as Aruban officials did. It probably didn't help either that Natalie Holloway was American and the suspects were Dutch/Aruban. If still alive, his father would have little pull outside of Dutch territories, especially, I believe, because this victim was a citizen of the country where the crime was committed. Peruvian officials would never have had any reason to tread lightly around this guy.

One ray of sunshine in this story, is the Peruvian prison system. Jerk'ran has definately hit the big time there. It is one of the nastiest, harshest, toughest, most deadly prison systems on the planet. A gringo placed there for killing a peruvian beauty will surely pay the toughest price going. Pay as you go there, for maggoted meat, moldy bread, and protection from being punked by Juan. Those thugs just don't care. Have fun you psychopathic loser. Your privileged family that has always protected little Jerk'ran, will pay through the nose. The extortionists in those mean prisons will know that the stupid, euro-trash family will pay for their little innocent Jerk'ran.
When that karma wheel turns, it can be one cold ride.

Why does everything turn into a racial discussion? And why does it always seem to be the "anti-white" crowd that speaks up first?

Because they are the ones that keep racism alive.

Let the Peruvian authorities "question" him about Miss Holloway, and I bet you would get some answers! Or the Israelis!

@ lori and JJ. Do you really not realize that preferential treatment is given to pretty white children in these cases? Have you even seen that kind of publicity for any other type of child? You are incredibly naive. Other pregnant women have disappeared during the same timeframe as Lavey Peterson, from the same area, and we never heard a peep from the media. Same with Natalie – lots of girls disappear during vacations – it is terrible. Unless you are considered "newsworthy" the media does not care. Period.

This week whilst I am in Milano, I thought it would be fun to share a lovely local apartment rather than a Australian home. Milan-based fashion designer and brilliant blogger Kristina Klarin kindly agreed to share her fabulous little place – and I must say, although I knew it would be super lovely… my heart skipped a giddy beat when these incredible photos came through! OH my. Eye-candy just hit a whole new level! Such brilliant brave colour – I am in awe…!
It's no wonder that Kris is a whizz with colour… she's been in the fashion industry for 10 years here in Milan… and have you seen her amazing Color-Stripes BLOG!? It is so so brilliant – so utterly unique, full of stunning photography… and will have you seeing colour in an entirely new way. (Also on her blog, check out a few before and after pics of her colourful home – what a transformation!)
In addition to her day job in fashion-land, Kristina also makes gorgeous hand-painted wooden bead necklaces in, of course, the most delectable colour combinations. Check them out in her online shop here. Oooh la la. After these were posted on a few popular blogs recently, poor Kris is run off her feet keeping up with demand! I am not surprised!
I am looking forward to meeting Kris hopefully later this week! In the meantime she has kindly answered a few of my questions about her beloved home town, and has sweetly given me her top pick for the Salone this week! Spazio Rossana Orlandi is now definitely top of the list!
What do you love about living in Milano?
I like to be in the center of everything, to have all the stuff I need near, like magazines, books , I like that there are always a lot design related events, and I love Milan's position, you can be in the mountains in an hour and on the seashore in two hours.
Can you tell us a little about your local area – where do you live and what is special about your local neighborhood?
Well , near me there is street Via Savona and Via Tortona which I particularly like , that was industrial area in the 30′s and now it become a very chic populated by young people, inspiring shops and lovely restaurants, this one is my favorite – Piquenique.
Which event / showroom at the Salone / Fuori Salone will you be sure to visit at the Salone del Mobile this year?
I would definitly go to Spazio Rossana Orlandi, it's situated in an ex tie factory and the owner Rossana has only the best indie designers, this year there will be presented new projects by Piet Hein Eek, the Campana brothers, the young design collective FormaFantasma and the London-based Spanish designer Tomas Alonso.
Milan's best kept secret?
Secret gardens! – Giardino di Villa Reale, it's a beautiful garden, but kept so secret that I couldn't find any photo on the Internet to share with you! - Garden of Villa Invernizzi, open to public only once a year.
Thankyou so much for your time and all the beautiful photos Kris! xx

Bruno Mars is set to rock the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, and while he told reporters on Thursday that he's not scared about the prospect of performing for all those people, that doesn't mean he wouldn't benefit from some friendly advice from an act who's been there, done that: the Black Eyed Peas .
The Peas provided the halftime entertainment for the game in 2011, and it marked the first time that a younger pop act had been tapped to do the honors since 2004's infamous "Nipplegate" incident, in which Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson gave us the term "wardrobe malfunction." While the Peas didn't have any problems with that when they performed, they were heavily criticized for the bad sound during their set. Group member Taboo 's still a bit bitter about that, and he doesn't want Bruno to have the same problem.
"Just don't let the sound cut out," Taboo tells ABC News Radio when asked what advice he could offer Bruno. "Because then you'll get backlash from everyone, like 'Oh, this is horrible! It's the sound, it was despicable!' Like, come on dude, really? The sound? What about the lights and all the the great energy that we put on?"
But overall, Taboo says he thinks Bruno was a great choice by the NFL for this year's game. "I'm a big Bruno Mars fan, I've been championing him for many years. Even before the success," he tells ABC News Radio. "I'm glad they chose him because he's the ultimate performer, musician, singer, and I'm very happy for him."
Taboo's band mate Fergie agrees, saying, "He needs no advice from me on performing. That man is amazing. I love Bruno. I've met him. I met his mother. Ah, that's what he was born to do, is perform." But she does have some advice for him in general.
"Have fun out there and just take in the moment. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing," she tells ABC News Radio. "So instead of getting nervous about it, go out there and enjoy it."
Fergie also notes that Bruno could be feeling a lot of pressure, since he's a solo artist, with the spotlight all on him; she, on the other hand, did the Super Bowl as part of a group. But she's convinced, she says, that "he's gonna bring it."
As for dealing with the cold in New Jersey on Sunday, Fergie laughs, "February in New Jersey. Wow! That's gonna be a great crowd. I think New Jersey will get a few beers in their system!"

Totally agree. They're interesting, practical, and manage to relate the game to real life in fun and unique ways. :) The references to "pulling aggro" in the modifications and the like really seal the deal for me. I need to post "QFT: Skip the cheese entirely – rely on sheer attack power!" in my kitchen.

Total comfort and versatility
Measuring 1.18 inches (30mm) taller than the coupe model, the five-door Range Rover Evoque adds space and versatility to the luxurious cabin. Rear seat passengers benefit from over 1.97 inches (50mm) more shoulder room, along with generous headroom, which compares very favorably to traditional sporting sedans.
A full-sized glass panoramic roof enhances the sensation of space and comfort by filling the interior with natural light, and offers greater headroom for all occupants.
The rear seats, with seat belts and head restraints for three passengers, have 60/40 folding rear seats and are equipped with LATCH child seat mounts. When required, luggage capacity can be expanded to a substantial 51 cubic ft (1445 liters).
The driver adopts a lower seating position than in one of the larger Range Rover models offering a more sporting feel but retaining the important Command Driving Position.
Dynamic handling and effortless, refined performance
Land Rover engineers have developed the five-door Range Rover Evoque to provide customers with a polished driving experience combining dynamic and sporty handling with responsive, effortless performance and refinement.
Murray Dietsch, Director of Land Rover Programs said, "The five-door Range Rover Evoque has the same sporting character as the Coupe. We have focused on ensuring that the car is agile and fun to drive, so that customers have a rewarding experience, even in day-to-day urban driving. Advanced technologies such as MagneRide mean we can ensure that this dynamic prowess does not come at the cost of top-quality refinement or comfort."
The car can be specified with the sophisticated Adaptive Dynamics system, which uses advanced MagneRide™ dampers to provide an enhanced balance of confident, nimble handling with a supple, controlled ride. The suspension delivers even tighter body control with flatter handling and sharper responses.
As expected in a Range Rover, the five-door Range Rover Evoque delivers all-weather, multi-terrain capability. In common with its larger siblings, the new model provides formidable multi-terrain potential, which is enhanced by the latest version of the company's signature Terrain Response® system.
Drivers who take their Range Rover Evoque off-road will be reassured to know that, in addition to generous ground clearance, the car has aggressive breakover and departure angles.
The five-door Range Rover Evoque shares its smooth and responsive turbocharged powertrain with the Coupe model. The advanced new 240bhp* 2.0-liter Si4 turbocharged engine combines direct fuel injection and twin variable valve timing for drivability and fuel efficiency, and an athletic 0-60 mph in 7.1 seconds*.
Murray Dietsch continued, "The state-of-the-art four-cylinder turbocharged engine combines
six-cylinder refinement and performance with impressive fuel economy. This efficiency has been achieved by the commitment of the product development team to deliver a compact and weight efficient product, with no compromise on durability and robustness."
Commitment to sustainability
With the same compact footprint and advanced technologies as the coupe model, the five-door Range Rover Evoque reinforces Land Rover's commitment to environmental sustainability. The Range Rover Evoque is the smallest, lightest, most fuel-efficient Range Rover ever.
The new vehicle's sustainability credentials stem from a comprehensive approach to reducing its environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle, from development and manufacturing, through to customer use and end-of-life recycling.
Key product innovations which drive its greener performance include:

Banner Neighborhoods, a 30-year-old community development organization that serves 10 Patterson Park-area neighborhoods, is now raising funds to renovate a building it purchased early this year.
The 3,000-square-foot Formstone-covered structure, located behind Banner's current home at 2900 E. Fayette, was in commercial foreclosure when Banner purchased it outright in January, says Joe Silhavy, president of Banner's board of directors.
The building, located at 2911 Pulaski Highway, will be Banner's new permanent home and will function as headquarters and a community center.
Banner Neighborhoods, which serves a large swath of east Baltimore—from Monument St. to Eastern Ave. and Haven St. to Washington St.—has several objectives, including greening, beautification, community empowerment, and youth employment.
The 3,000 square feet will give the organization more room for the numerous programs it sponsors (art clubs, youth sports, youth gardens, youth employment, senior home maintenance), and its newest program, a bike club, as well as allow for future growth.
"We'll need anywhere between $200,000 and $250,000 to renovate the building," says Silhavy, a senior vice president with Wells Fargo Bank, who has been involved with Banner since the 1980s.
"A key feature of the renovation, and one of the most expensive," notes Silhavy, "is installing a wheelchair lift."
Grant Corley, a Banner board member and Patterson Park resident, says the renovation will also address various issues, including water remediation and making the building fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and will include building offices upstairs and planting a substantial garden in the rear.
"The building will allow for our future programming needs," Corley says.
Silhavy notes that Banner has evolved over the years from its earliest mission of helping the elderly age in place.
"We still help the elderly stay in their homes, but we also focus on improving quality of life and improving the neighborhoods so that all residents want to stay," Silhavy says. "I'd say these days, we're like a Swiss Army knife: all utility. We have something for everyone."
Banner will be staying in its current headquarters for at least one more year, and the timeline for renovating is fairly loose, according to Silhavy.
"We're not borrowing money for this project," he says.
The organization plans to host a major fundraising kick-off later this summer, he adds.
Leanna Wetmore, Banner's community organizer, says the new building has great potential for the organization and its future work.
She views the building's artificial masonry not as an aesthetic challenge, but a unique Baltimore feature.
"We hope to paint a mural on the Formstone," she says.
Banner was a key partner in the painting of many the murals in the neighborhood, most recently the native sea creature murals on Fayette St. and East Ave.
Wetmore says she doesn't have any idea what the mural will look like.
"Whatever it is, it will be inspirational, it will involve lots of community input, and of course, will make the neighborhood more beautiful," she says.

The Reuters global sports blog
APOEL Nicosia and Jovanovic could prompt further Cinderella stories
The Champions League is heading for another spectacular climax after the quarter-final clashes produced expected winners in holders Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Bayern Munich, who must be relishing the prospect of taking centre stage in the final in their own stadium on May 19.
But rather than the usual suspects who predictably reach the latter stages of the money-spinning competition every season, it was the highly unheralded outfit of APOEL Nicosia that lit up the scene this time.
The Cypriots defied the odds to reach even the group stage of the competition and then stunned one rival after another, punching way above their weight until they finally succumbed to Real 8-2 on aggregate.
They bowed out with their heads high and their Serbian coach Ivan Jovanovic, who had emerged from complete obscurity very much like the Champions League surprise package personified by his team, was graceful after the incredible ride ended.

Belgrade derby was full of nice not nasty surprises
I attended my first Belgrade derby on Saturday and all the preconceptions I might have had were happily blown away in the brisk Serbian wind.
The fixture is widely regarded as the most fiery and dangerous derby in world football but despite the game almost being a title decider, the sting was taken out of the occasion by Red Star ultras refusing to turn up at Partizan's stadium.

Soccer Break Wednesday
Happy middle of the week to you all, and if like me you are in London where the sun is out and there is very little football to write about, you are forgiven for thinking the season is over and the grasscourt tennis season is about to kick in.
Don't look so worried, David (right). While the weather will probably change before I've finished writing this blog, the good news is it's only March and there is plenty more football left. It's just this week it's the international break.
Serbian players, fans set new Davis Cup celebration standards
Passers-by in downtown Belgrade unfamiliar with Serbia's appetite for sports success would have been forgiven for thinking that the Balkan country won the soccer World Cup on Sunday evening and not the Davis Cup, an annual tennis competition featuring 16 teams in its top tier.
Several thousand jubilant fans, sporting national flags and team shirts, brought traffic to a halt in the city centre moments after Serbia beat France 3-2 in a pulsating three-day final to win the event in front of 17,000 supporters in the Belgrade Arena.
from Reuters Soccer Blog:
Prandelli breaks the mould by naming his teams a day early
In rugby, teams are often named several days before matches -- a habit I've never really understood.
If there is any doubt about what lineup you will field, surely it makes sense to keep the opposition coach guessing until the final moment? The advantage may be slight, but it's there and it might make the other coach mess up his preparations if he guesses wrongly.

Residents in Hutsonville, IL are about to see a water and sewer rate increase to try and offset the $20,000 that the villages's water and sewer account lost last year.
The bills should go up about $4 for basic water and $2 for every addition 1,000 gallons used.
The sewer bill will go up $3 for every thousand gallons.
Even with the hike though, Hutsonville will still have the lowest rates in their county.
The last time they went up was 2007.
