Bioluminescent Fish Flashing Patterns Might Facilitate Mating
by AMNH on
Scientists have shown for the first time that deep-sea fishes that use bioluminescence for communication are diversifying into different species faster than other glowing fishes that use light for camouflage.
A Century in the Solomon Islands
by AMNH on
For nearly a century, the Solomon Islands—an archipelago of nearly 1,000 islands just east of Papua New Guinea—have beckoned biologists from the American Museum of Natural History with an astonishing diversity of flora and fauna, from beautiful mollusks to reptiles and majestic bird species found nowhere else.
New Research: Tracking the Birthplaces and "Lost Years" of Green Turtles
by AMNH on
New research led by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History and the City University of New York provides insight to the population distribution and "lost years" of Central Pacific green turtles, the span of time when the turtles hatch, enter the water, and emerge on a feeding ground often hundreds of miles away.
Sucker-Footed Bat Fossils Broaden the Bat Map

NEW PORT RICHEY — Visitors seem to be rediscovering Pasco County as a destination, with tourism tax revenue on track to match the best year ever, a county official said.
Tourism Manager Ed Caum said fiscal 2008 produced the record amount of $841,489 for the tourism fund. Pasco collects a 2 percent surcharge on short-term rental accommodations such as motel and hotel rooms. The money goes toward construction projects and marketing.
The recession walloped Pasco tourism tax revenue totals here, which fell to $639,696 in fiscal 2009.
A rebound began in fiscal 2012as tourism tax revenue hit $822,206, although that total include an accounting adjustment of more than $90,000 in the county's favor.
Last fiscal year brought in $767,844.
With several months left to go in fiscal 2014, which ends Sept. 30, Pasco hadcollected $645,633 so far through the tourism tax.
Caum is bullish that trends will boost the county's fortunes to its best showing in six years.
Hotel room occupancy rates are up 5 percent over 2013 totals, Caum noted. The county now has 2,956 hotel rooms. Pasco also got a boost from oil spill settlement money augmenting the tourism advertising budget.
The tourism-tax is the only yardstick available, Caum said. "I don't have the exact number of visitors to Pasco," Caum wrote in an email, "because we don't have the staff to research like our southern neighbors. We have not done a visitor profile since 2005."
A rising tide lifts all boats, Caum said. Pasco, The Suncoast and the rest of the state of Florida are enjoying a boom in the number of visitors.
Tourists pumped nearly $40 million into area hotels in July, filling two-thirds of hotel rooms, according to recent figures from Visit Tampa Bay.
That $40 million represents only what tourists paid for rooms, said Visit Tampa Bay spokesman Kevin Wiatrowski. "That doesn't even count food, or spa treatments or rental cars" and other expenditures, he said.
The July hotel figures represent a 4.7 percent increase year over year. Rooms went for an average of nearly $87 per night, an increase of 6.3 percent over 2013, the figures show.
Statewide, Florida experienced a record second quarter with 24 million visitors between April and June, according to a press release from the governor's office. The release quoted numbers from Visit Florida, the state's tourism arm.
The number of tourist-related jobs was also at a record high statewide with some 1.1 million Floridians employed in tourism jobs, Visit Florida reports.

Finally had time to mess around with this.
I mounted this light with these direction I wrote up for the mount below. For other lights with better threads this be easier.
Then go to the hardware store and get a M4 flathead machine screw that is 10 mm long. Take the base place off that came with the light. Its more epoxied on than screwed on. Attach the base plate with the 10 mm M4 screw. You will also need to flare out the top of the hole on the new base plate with a knife or drill bit. With luck you will catch 3 or 4 threads on the bottom. Because of this you will also need to coat the M4 screw with JB Weld adhesive. Clean the pieces to be epoxied per the instructions. Clear nail polish remover works well. Also fine sand paper. I also used a secondary plastic adhesive (3M Hi-90) for the plastic part to help keep the base plate from rotating but tht might not be neccessary and the JB Weld may also bond the outer plastic surface to the light housing. Screw the M4 into the light and let cure. Its a very strong attachment. Attach the other piece to the handle bar. If it slides around add a layer of self curing tape from the plumbing department of your hardware store. Very solid not the cheapest option. About an additional $35.

Roti John
Roti john is a local dish consisting of the sliced halves of a French loaf fried with a topping of minced mutton, sliced onions and egg. The dish is unique to the Malay Peninsula, with its origins linked to the resident English, Malay and Indian communities. Literally translated, roti john means "John's bread"; the dish takes its name from a previously common form of address for Caucasians ("John") while roti is a Hindi term for "bread".
The dish
Sometimes called Singapore's version of the burger, roti john is made using a local bread loaf similar to the French baguette, but shorter in length and with rounded ends and a softer texture. Good roti john is considered to be crispy on the outside, while the meat and egg mixture remains soft and the onions crunchy. It is usually served in bite-sized slices with green chillies, tomato sauce and sweet chilli sauce on the side. Variations on this dish use chicken, beef or sardines instead of mutton. More recent innovations include adding melted cheese and mushrooms to the topping. The Malaccan version of this dish uses longer bread with a topping mainly of sardines and ikan bilis with onions, eggs and chilli.
According to local legend, sometime in the 1960s an Englishman asked a Malay hawker in Sembawang for a hamburger. Because hamburgers were not available, as a substitute, the ingenious hawker spread minced mutton and onions between slices of French loaf and fried the concoction in egg. The name for the dish is also attributed to this anonymous hawker, who was overheard saying to the customer, "Silakan makan roti, John", which literally translates as "Please eat this bread, John", but can also be understood as "Please eat this dish, John's bread".
Although roti john is often classified as Malay cuisine, partly because it is usually offered by Malay stalls, its origins, ingredients and taste meld together the diverse flavours of the English, Malay and Indian communities. The dish is sometimes considered as being of Indian origin possibly because Shukor, the hawker who popularised it, was of Indian ancestry.
In the 1970s, Shukor set up stall at the Taman Serasi hawker centre near the Botanic Gardens serving Eurasians and Caucasians, many of whom frequented the nearby Tanglin Club. Shukor obtained the recipe for roti john from a fellow hawker in Geylang and began offering the dish at his stall in 1976. Shukor's recipe for the dish contains up to 30 eggs beaten with onions, minced mutton and sambal (minced chilli). Some of the mixture is slathered onto sliced halves of a local bread loaf similar to the French baguette, then pan-fried on a hot griddle. So popular was the dish that Shukor sold up to 800 loaves on weekends and over 100 plates a day at his Taman Serasi stall.
Shukor's innovation is considered the original roti john by some and his eatery remains the benchmark for the dish. After his death, his wife, Khadijah bt Mohd Salleh, continued running the stall. The stall, Shukor Makanan Istimewa, originally located at Number 9 Taman Serasi Food Centre, made the hawker centre synonymous with roti john. When the hawker centre underwent changes in 2001, the stall moved to the Serangoon Garden Market where roti john is still sold by Shukor's daughter Noriani Shukor.
Today, roti john is served throughout the Malay Peninsula, with variations in Malacca and Penang that use toppings of sardines or ikan bilis (anchovies) rather than meat.

The state's chief economist said Thursday that the state has taken in $12 million less than expected since September, and that revenues are projected to drop by $122 million over the next two years.
OLYMPIA — The state's chief economist said Thursday that the state has taken in $12 million less than expected since September, and that revenues are projected to drop by $122 million over the next two years.
However, the governor's budget office says that's expected to be roughly offset by money saved from a drop in caseloads — the number of people using state services, such as health care for the poor.
The net effect is the $2 billion hole in the budget remains about the same.

In his latest revenue forecast, Arun Raha said that despite the relatively small change from September's forecast, concern remains. Problems in Europe could make the problem much worse, he said.
"Revenues depend on the economy, and the economy is a moving target," he said. "Much of the risk in Washington's economy is based on events outside the region," he said, specifically noting that steps taken by the new government in Italy will be crucial.
"It's too big to bail out," he said.
He said that if Italy's financial problems aren't resolved, there will be a domino effect that will ultimately affect Washington state. "A European banking crisis will become a U.S. banking crisis," he said. "A U.S. banking crisis will push the U.S. back into recession."
Raha said that if European troubles continue, "our baseline forecast will be invalidated."
While there is a 50 percent chance that Thursday's forecast from the state's Economic and Revenue Forecast Council will hold true, Raha said, there is a 40 percent chance that a much worse outcome could occur.
The council's pessimistic outlook would have the state taking in nearly $2 billion less than early projections over the next two years.
Additionally, Raha said that political gridlock in Washington, D.C., "has led to a steady erosion of consumer and business confidence, which is so important."
Raha cited a few positive areas in Washington's economy: Microsoft and Boeing are hiring again, and the state's exports have increased. However, he said the construction sector is still weak, and state and local governments are shrinking.
State lawmakers return to the Capitol on Nov. 28 to consider approximately $2 billion in cuts to state programs for the budget through 2013. Gov. Chris Gregoire is expected to release her budget proposal on Monday suggesting cuts, as well as a revenue package.
State Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, said that "everything is on the table."
"It's going to be a combination of cuts and revenue," he said.
On Thursday, the state saw a bit of good news on the jobs front. Numbers released for October show the rate has dropped to 9 percent — the lowest since March 2009. The October rate compares with a revised figure of 9.2 percent for September and 9.4 percent in October of last year in the state. The national jobless rate also is 9 percent.
With 4,600 jobs added in October in Washington, the officials at the Employment Security Department say the state has added jobs in 12 of the past 13 months.
Improving the jobs outlook is crucial for the state's recovery, said Rep. Ed Orcutt, a Republican from Kalama who sits on the forecast council.
"We have to get people back to work," he said.

Supreme Court Bludgeons California Video-Game Law
Is Mortal Kombat the highest form of free speech?
Maybe not. But it is protected by the First Amendment, according to a majority of the U. S. Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court's ruling on June 27 in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association struck down a California law restricting the sale or rental of violent video games to minors. It makes for interesting reading, and it produced several different opinions. Justice Antonin Scalia -- joined by Justices Kennedy, Ginsburg, Sotomayor and Kagan -- delivered a full-throated defense of violent video games, holding, "Crudely violent video games, tawdry TV shows, and cheap novels and magazines are no less forms of speech than The Divine Comedy, and restrictions upon them must survive strict scrutiny." He compared violent video games to Grimm's Fairy Tales, where the wicked queen, as punishment for trying to poison Snow White, "fell dead on the floor," and to Cinderella, where her evil stepsisters "have their eyes pecked out by doves."
The California law was dead on arrival, the Court said, because the state "acknowledges that it cannot show a direct causal link between violent video games and harm to minors."
Justice Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts weren't so sure. Alito wrote, "In the view of the Court, all those concerned about the effects of violent video games -- federal and state legislators, educators, social scientists, and parents -- are unduly fearful, for violent video games really present no serious problem. Spending hour upon hour controlling the actions of a character who guns down scores of innocent victims is not different in 'kind' from reading a description of violence in a work of literature. The Court is sure of this; I am not. There are reasons to suspect that the experience of playing violent video games just might be very different from reading a book, listening to the radio, or watching a movie or a television show."
Alito said, "Today's most advanced video games create realistic alternative worlds in which millions of players immerse themselves for hours on end. These games feature visual imagery and sounds that are strikingly realistic, and in the near future video-game graphics may be virtually indistinguishable from actual video footage." Alito and Roberts nevertheless agreed that the California law should be struck down, but only because the law was too vague.
Justice Clarence Thomas went off in a different direction, saying that the Founding Fathers "could not possibly have understood 'the freedom of speech' to include an unqualified right to speak to minors" without going through the minors' parents or guardians, and maintaining that the First Amendment challenge should be rejected on that basis.
Justice Stephen Breyer, meanwhile, would have upheld the law on its merits. He said that all the law does is prevent a child or adolescent from buying, without a parent's assistance, "a gruesomely violent video game of a kind that the industry itself tells us it wants to keep out of the hands of those under the age of 17." Breyer maintained that the law "imposes a restriction on speech that is modest at most."
This was a tough case, in my view. I have trouble accepting the notion that violent video games in which kids realistically simulate mass murder are no different from reading Cinderella or Grimm's Fairy Tales. As Justice Alito observed, "There are games in which a player can take on the identity and reenact the killings carried out by the perpetrators of the murders at Columbine High School and Virginia Tech." But at the same time, the law was correctly subjected to strict scrutiny, and the state was unable to show a "direct causal link between violent video games and harm to minors," as the majority held.
At the end of the day, the tie goes to the speaker, and as the majority held, because the state bears the risk of uncertainty, "ambiguous proof will not suffice." So parents who want to keep violent video games out of their kids' hands will have to take matters into their own hands, without the help of a well-intentioned -- but unconstitutional -- state law.

Could figuring out how to hunt in CO be any more confusing??? Don't get me wrong, the DOW website has loads of info for anyone who wants to hunt, but it seems to finger out in so many different directions, I keep getting lost. I thought PA was bad, but wow! It would be so much easier if you could just click on a WMU and it would give you all the info you need to know for that area...DONE. Instead of opening this page and that, and this map and that interacting map and pref point page and then 2 backflips and a summersalt over to another page? PA is the same way. You can't find a simple answer without devoting a whole weekend and a book report to it. Understand I'm not that tech savvy AND I've had a long day, but does anyone else get confused by this madness? Do any of you have a simpler way or a SOP to navigating through this? Just askin'.....OK, I'm done venting now!!!

J.C. Watts compares abortion to slavery.
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani has said that he is personally opposed to abortion, but still supports a woman's right to choose. Today, CNN political contributor J.C. Watts criticized Giuliani's position, stating, "That's the same as saying, I'm personally opposed to slavery, but if somebody else wants to own slaves, it's okay." Watch it:

"Israel: Land of Contrasts" Top 5 Page for this destination Israel by Carmela71
Israel Travel Guide: 8,956 reviews and 26,661 photos
Just arrived from a wonderful trip around Israel.
I am adding slowly tips, and it is not useful right now, please come back later, to visit a wonderful country ...
Special thanks to all the vt members that we have meet during our trip:
Thanks Sharon a pleasure to meet you again.
Thanks Martin, Zohara and Tal, already missing you and your two little devils ;-) ....
Thanks to Hilla and Gil for our last dinner in Tel Aviv
And to all the people we meet in the barbecue.... I will keep on adding all the names
Israel is located in the Middle East, along the eastern coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt.
It lies at the junction of three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa.
What had amazed me, is the diversity of this country, in such a little place (in comparation with Spain or for example USA), you can find everything you look for:
Religious & Historical & Adventure & Nature & Archaeology & Diving & Food, and the amount of natural parks in such a little country that is incredible.
All in one
Yesterday on the beach I realised that a week ago I was swimming on the same sea, but on the other side lol, and also bathing on Dead and Red Sea. I love Travelling what can I say lol
In the General tips I will include the itinerary of our trip, so I do not forget anything.
- Pros:Just beautiful, so many contrasts ....
- In a nutshell:Do not worry: pack and get ready to enjoy!

Hello Carmen, Nice pages. Thank you very much and happy new year to you. Tomas Eriksson :)
just came back from my 2nd Israel trip, am even more intrigued than from my 1st trip!
Hello Carmela. Thank you for the to do tips as I am planning a January 2009 trip to Israel.
great little page you have put together here
I'm not so sure.Some Israelis don't give any tip.When I gave 5 Shekels as a tip to taxi drivers I encountered 3 eactions:1.Suprise, thanking me very much 2.Acting very disappointed (on purpose so Iwould give him more)3.Thankfulness.
HI. As i am planning a trip around the Mediterranean by motorcycle i have a burning question : do you know if there is free transit through the Golan from Damascus to Haifa?? Hope to hear from you soon (and may be meet at Marbella?) firstname.lastname@example.com
Great page Carmela. Planning a trip to Israel in October and your page gave me some good ideas.
Such a small country but with a real diversity of things to do and see. This year instead of going to Spain and Portugal I've decided to visit Israel. Looking at your page Ican see it is the right decision
Lovely place to visit... I wish it was not that much corrupted by violence and it became again a tourist destination as I am sure it deserves! thanks for your lovely tips.

Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress workers today assaulted three policemen on duty and vandalised a police station in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, officials said here.
Police said the TMC workers had gone to Bongaon police station to submit a deputation against a local gram panchayat member for allegedly swindling MNREGA funds.
Trouble broke out when the party workers enraged with the absence of the officer-in-charge went on a rampage and assaulted three policemen and smashed furniture of the police station, they said.
Senior police officers rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control.
When contacted, TMC district president Nirmal Ghosh said the incident was the reaction of local people against the gram panchayat member for swindling people's money.
"Somebody may have been carrying our party flag but we do not support any act of vandalism. Law will take its own course," he said.

At the end of last month, the first, action-packed trailer for World War II combat movie Red Tails debuted, ending a long wait for producer George Lucas, who admitted that he had been "wanting to do Red Tails for 20 years."
Not even another month later, a second trailer has been made available from MTV as well as a brand new poster.
Red Tails tells the real-life story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the 332nd Fighter Group of the U.S. Army in World War II that was made up of the first African American combat pilots to serve in the U.S. military. A constant target of racial discrimination, the pilots were given second-rate planes to fly during their dangerous missions. The Airmen painted the tails of their airplanes red, hence the nickname "Red Tails". The nickname isn't covered in the latest trailer, which is almost non-stop aerial combat.
Red Tails was written by John Ridley (Undercover Brother) and Boondocks cartoonist Aaron Mcgruder, and was directed by Anthony Hemingway (HBO's Treme). The cast is headlined by Academy Award–winner Cuba Gooding Jr. and Academy Award–nominee Terrence Howard and co-stars Bryan Cranston (AMC's Breaking Bad), Nate Parker (The Secret Life of Bees), David Oyelowo (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Help), Tristan Wilds (Half Nelson) and musician-actors Method Man (HBO's The Wire) and Ne-Yo (Battle: Los Angeles).

Karen Stewart has noticed a change in her daughter Alison since she started going to Russell Nesbitt Services' training center in Wheeling.
"It's been great. She has grown so much since being here. They have done miracles with my daughter. She has come out of her shell a lot. She is talking more and she has become more independent," Stewart said.
Alison Stewart, 28, has Down syndrome. She was among the many people who attended the agency's open house Thursday.
Article Photos
Photo by Shelley Hanson/Russell Nesbitt Services clients, from left, Michael Spencer, Mary Eaves and Alison Stewart attend Thursday's open house at the Fulton facility.
Executive Director Brian Breyer said he wants more parents and the community in general to know about the services offered by Russell Nesbitt to people with developmental disabilities. For example, Alison Stewart and her fellow classmates Michael Spencer and Mary Eaves all attend day treatment training, which teaches participants daily living skills such as shopping, cooking and cleaning. They are paid for work they do at the center, such as washing dishes and taking out the trash. Eaves said she enjoys cooking and her favorite dish to make is taco salad.
"Disabilities are a forgotten area. ... We have an increasing number of parents looking for services for their child," Breyer said.
Breyer said it is important for parents of children with disabilities to start thinking about the future, when they are not there anymore to take care of them.
In addition to daily-living training, Russell Nesbitt also owns 14 houses where clients can live and receive help. Other services offered at Russell Nesbitt include job training, respite for caregivers, employment at the Watch Center or Mobile Work Crew, coordination of services and therapeutic consultants.
Carol Marcinek, a therapeutic consultant at Russell Nesbitt, said some clients also learn basic reading, writing and math skills.
"I've been doing it for about 25 years. It's wonderful watching how they've progressed over time," Marcinek said. "Mike and Mary have come such a long way since I've been here. They are so much more independent than when I first started. ... Some parents are out there and they don't know what to do or where to go."
During the open house, Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie read a proclamation about March being national Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month.

More MSNBC Civility: US Rep. Cohen (TN-D) Compares Mike Pence to Goebbels, Ed Schultz Agrees
Oh that liberal civility …
The liberal hate continues from US Rep. Steve Cohen (TN-D) via the airwaves of MSNBC. Cohen went on to MSNBC and was interviewed by Ed Schultz following Cohen's hateful comments where he compared Republicans to Nazi's. As stated by NewsBusters, the interview began as some what of an apology from Cohen; however, it wound up being something much different.
The interview actually started out seeming to be an opportunity for Cohen to apologize for his Tuesday comments, with Schultz asking: "Congressman, did you go too far there?" Cohen seemed hesitantly remorseful: "Well, apparently so because a lot of people, I guess, hold a strict liability rule on mentioning the Holocaust or anything….I've learned that lesson, I guess." However, he quickly added: "But everything I said was true and I think people agree that it was true. That there's been a message. It's been given over and over and over and it's a lie."
Shultz followed up: "But do you feel like you, you know, brought us to a point where there should not have been a comparison, because the Holocaust was so horrific, as opposed to a repeal on health care?…Are you sorry for making the connection?" Cohen was more affirmative in an apology: "I definitely am. And I'm sorry any Jewish people, my Republican colleagues, or anybody, got the wrong impression….I hate if I participated in anything that made my congress, which I'm greatly honored to be a member of, or my district, which I love, have any problems."
The irony of it all or is it just pathetic liberal, moonbat journalism. As Hot Air points out, during the MSLSD interview there was an "over the line" graphics up, yet never did Ed Schultz challenge Cohen.
It would appear that Steven Cohen has become the new Alan Grayson for the Democrats. He continued his hateful rhetoric and lack of civility after saying that he has learned his lesson, Cohen went on to compare Pence to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and receiving no resistance from Ed Schultz.
Where is the Ed Show in the ratings?
With Keith Olbermann now a thing of the past on MSNBC, I would be awfully careful if I were Ed Schultz as he just might be next. with such low cable news ratings, Ed Schultz might want to watch his P's and Q's as who else would ever hire him if he loses his MSNBC gig.

AP Gets SUSPECT Facts Wrong Again … Aruban Kalpoe Brothers Try To Get Wrongful Death Suit Dismissed
AP, once and for all could you please get the facts correct in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway? Deepak and Satish Kalpoe are presently suspects in Natalee Holloway's disappearance, not "were once suspects". How difficult a concept is that for a new wire to comprehend and get correct? THEY ARE STILL CONSIDERED THE PRIMARY SUSPECTS ALONG WITH JORAN VAN DER SLOOT IN HER DISAPPEARANCE!!!
That being said the Kalpoe brothers are looking to get the wrongful death suit filed against them by Beth Twitty and Dave Holloway dismissed. So who is looking to make money of a missing, presumed deceased teenager? Suspects in the murder. Earth to US Court, this is the reason why the Aruban courts did not compensate the suspects for wrongful imprisonment and kept them as suspects in the crime.
By the way Deepak, why so many inconsistencies and contradictions in your statements?
Holloway's parents sued Deepak and Satish Kalpoe in December in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming the brothers caused fatal injuries to their daughter. The young woman's body has never been found.
Beth Twitty and Dave Holloway chose the Los Angeles court after the Kalpoes sued the "Dr. Phil" talk show there alleging libel and slander.
In court papers filed last week, an attorney for the Kalpoes argued that the brothers are residents of Aruba and have no ties to California and that the lawsuit against them should be dismissed. (AP)
It is truly amazing that these gold diggers would come to America and willingly subject themselves to a California Courts jurisdiction to sue for profit, yet cower when sued themselves for a wrongful death law suit. What brave men they are to knowing go to a bar full of American female tourists on their last night on Aruba one half hour before closing and have a girl in their car obviously intoxicated and possibly drugged for their own agenda, only to sue for money. The Kalpoe's attorney, Kristina M. Beck, filed court papers on Tuesday to dismiss the lawsuit. Brave souls indeed.
Beck's court papers state that an important ruling occurred Jan. 24, when another Los Angeles Superior Court judge, Edward A. Ferns, ruled that the wrongful death claim of the teen's parents against the Kalpoes is substantially different from the siblings' defamation case against "Dr. Phil" McGraw.
"These actions do not arise from the same or substantially identical transactions, happenings or events…," Ferns wrote, in ruling that both cases should not be kept before the same judge.
The Kalpoes sued McGraw and CBS Television on Dec. 13, alleging they were defamed in a Sept. 15, 2005, show dealing with the still-unsolved case. Although the Kalpoe brothers had been released from Aruban police custody, the "Dr. Phil" episode suggested they gave Holloway a date rape drug and had non- consensual group sex with her, according to their lawsuit.

Steve Cohen & Aruba the Truth: Missing in Aruba
Has anyone seen this man? Steve Cohen has suddenly found himself in the "where are they now files". Steve Cohen is added to a long line of former Aruban spokes people that have faded off the map in to obscurity. Have the budget cuts in Aruba due to the dwindling tourism cost Cohen his funding?
Last seen spinning a yarn on TV and back tracking on a previously made statement implicating the three suspects.
(Pic Hat Tip: Klaas)
It seems as though Aruba figured out that maybe if they say nothing, that is better than insulting peoples intelligence with the SPIN that was being spewed with regards to Natalee, her disappearance, the investigation and the family. News Flash … not commenting is no comment.
The lack of a comment is also looked upon as an admission of guilt.
It would appear that Tim Miller and Texas Equusearch may have to be called back to Aruba to find Steve Cohen as well. Steve, has the cat got your tongue? Or is it the Aruban officials? For a spokesman you are not saying much these days.
Steve Cohen, the artist formerly known as the "Special Adviser to the Aruban Government," has been conspicuous by absence. Was Steve Cohen a victim of the Aruban budget cuts due to the loss of tourism in response to how Aruban officials have handled the Natalee Holloway case? Or was he a victim of his own comments like promising arrests and closure of the case with the next few months? Of course that promise came from Steven Cohen on January 17, 2006.
Spokesman for the Aruban government, former CBS journalist Steve Cohen, is predicting a closure to the case in the next six months.
Mr Cohen expects one or all three suspects – Dutch national Joran van der Sloot and Surinamese brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe – to be charged for rape and murder.
He says he's optimistic that they'll be able to wrap up their current probe and be able to present a case to the judge "in the next few weeks or a few months".
Or was it because he stated that the prosecution believes the three suspects are guilty of wrongdoing against Natalee Holloway.
Dr. Phil asks him, "From your opinion, based on what you know, do you believe that these boys are guilty of wrongdoing here?" Steve says that he does. "Do the prosecutors believe they are guilty of wrongdoing?" Steve says that they do. "Do you believe that [the boys] have available, intimate knowledge of what happened to her that night?" Again, Steve confirms that he does.
The Aruban OM and Defense were certainly not happy with some of those comments. The ATA and Briesen also disturbed about Cohen's comments. What, that they may have been true?
Maybe Steve Cohen is no longer in the picture because he tells the Travel Video the boys had sex with Natalee. Then of course there was the promise and prediction that Cohen made during the Christmas holiday that Joran Van der Sloot would be re-questioned within the next 10 days.
Steve Cohen has not been seen from in months. The spokesman for The Aruba Strategic Communications Task Force is MIA. For that matter so is The Strategic Task Force. The web site "Aruba Truth" must have run out of more "truths" to tell.
Just in case Aruba Truth thought they had lost all the posts that they had previously done, we wanted to make sure everyone still had access to them. Aruba Truth archive. I know you would not want all that information lost. We are only looking out for you.
Aruba, if you think you can ignore this and its just going to go away … think again. No justice … no tourism. Solve the case and find those responsible and get on with it. While you are at it why don't you prosecute those that were complicit in the negligence in this investigation.

Steve Cohen and Arlene Ellis Schipper Now Spin for Attorney David Kock?
Steve Cohen and Arlene Ellis Schipper have basically been in the "where are they now" category of late in discussing the disappearance of Natalee Holloway and the situation regarding the three suspects, Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. That was until last nights Rita Cosby's, 'Live & Direct'.
The other night the Kalpoe's attorney, David Kock, stated the following:
Of course, it's a call of the DA. But from the information that we are getting, it seems like, you know, they know, too, they have to round this up. I won't be surprised if, you know, summer, June, July the case will be presented.
Now for some reason Steve Cohen and Arlene Ellis Schipper feel it their need to SPIN for a defense attorney? These two people are members of the Aruban government sponsored, Aruban Strategic Communications Task Force. Steve Cohen is the Aruban government's spokes person; why on earth is he coming forth and stating what David Kock either did or did not mean to say? Even for Aruba this is peculiar.
The comment Steve did and got quite the tongue lashing from Rita Cosby in the process. Read the following as the fur certainly flew on last nights show. Quite the interesting development in that Steve Cohen feels the need to tell everyone what another individual meant to say. Hey Steve, you speak for the government; you do not speak for David Kock.
Live & Direct; March 21, 2006
And now let's bring in, if we could, Steve Cohen. He's a special adviser to the Aruban government. And joining us now live on the phone from the island is Aruban attorney Arlene Ellis Schipper.
Steve, does the Aruban government want to see this case go to trial and wrapped up in some shape or form, whichever way it is?
STEVE COHEN, SPECIAL ADVISER TO ARUBAN GOVERNMENT: There's no question that the goal has always been to figure out what happened to Natalee, who was responsible, if anyone, was there criminality? You know, we want that result.
But all that's happened here, Rita, is that you have an aggressive producer who got hold of the attorney, and the attorney, just talking out loud, thinking out loud, came up with these suppositions that are totally…
COSBY: All right, Steve. I got to interrupt you. I got to interrupt you on two counts.

More Predictions Not Commented on From Steve Cohen in the Natalee Holloway Investigation
Earlier this week, many in Aruba were upset over the comments that Steve Cohen had made on behalf of the Aruban prosecution, investigators, government and tourism industry. But why not comment on all the statements that were made? Also, I guess it was OK for Karen Janssen to make the "fireworks" comment. First we had the OM and defense not happy with statements Cohen.
The Public Prosecutor (OM) has called Steve Cohen, spokesperson of the Strategic Communications Task Force in the United States to account his statements in Dr. Phil's show of last week. During the show in question, Cohen had declared that the OM is of the opinion that the three boys are guilty of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The OM had asked Cohen in a letter where he got the information from and called him to account the fact that he declared the three boys guilty.
Then the ATA and Briesen also disturbed about Cohen's comments an put out a statement.
ATA emphasized in a press release that ATA and Tourism-minister Edison Briesen (MEP) do not agree with the statements of Cohen on the details of the investigation and the guiltiness of the three suspects.
Cohen had already made such statements in Dr. Phil's show that was recorded on January 10th, five days before Caribbean Hotel Association (CHA) conference. Cohen's statements had been on the Task Force's website for some time. Cohen had also added an elucidation on the same website. Both articles are meanwhile removed from arubatruth.com.
Of course the fact that Steve Cohen is a spokes person for the Strategic Communications Task Force and Arubatruth.com is the on-line communication vehicle for that group just makes it all the more puzzling why they would need to take down any article from the web site. How can there be a communication issue? They are the same entity? Maybe this is the lack of communication that Dave Holloway and Beth Twitty have been discussing for nearly eight months.
However, its not just the Dr. Phil show that Steven Cohen was making such comments and predictions. Sure the American public heard Steve Cohen's comments regarding the guilt of the three suspects, but did they hear it from The BBC Caribbean?

Dave Holloway on Live & Direct (1/23/06), "Paulus early on in the investigation, he was pointing the finger back towards the Mountain Brook kids"
Rita Cosby, Live & Direct: January 24, 2006 : (Dave Holloway & Steve Cohen)
LIVE & DIRECT right now is special adviser to the Aruban government, Steve Cohen. Also with us on the phone is Natalee Holloway's father, Dave Holloway.
Steve, why are they doing this now?
STEVE COHEN, SPECIAL ADVISER TO ARUBAN GOVERNMENT: Well, I think it's just a matter of a process of elimination. You know, we go through a lot of these scenarios. Finally, we get to the point where we say we need to talk to some of those who were with Natalee the day and then the night that she disappeared.
We have to go through a process through the FBI in Barbados to get access to these individuals. And by the way, the FBI will be questioning them and the Aruban authorities will be the observers in keeping with the covenants that we have with the United States government.
COSBY: What do you think they could provide, though, Steve? Is there a question of Natalee's state of mind? Is there a question of something else, speaking to them, maybe they heard or saw? Where do you think it's headed?
COHEN: Well, all of those things are important. Let me talk first about just the circumstances surrounding that evening. Anything that investigators can find out about what it was like that evening just generally is important and then specifically, what was Natalee thinking? Was she in a good mood or a bad mood? And then, of course, what was her physical state? All of these things will add into the puzzle of what these teens say versus what the Aruban authorities collected from other witnesses.
COSBY: Dave, what do you make of all of this? Do you think this is going to get any step closer to finding your daughter? Or is this sort of just grasping for straws?
DAVE HOLLOWAY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY'S FATHER: Well, I think it's going to close some of the holes in the investigation. You know, when I met with Paulus early on in the investigation, he was pointing the finger back towards the Mountain Brook kids. And I think it's just a way of just closing that gap and putting that to rest.

Amigoe: OM and Defense Not Happy with Statements Cohen
Amigoe: January 23, 2006; OM and defense not happy with statements Cohen
ARUBA — The Public Prosecutor (OM) has called Steve Cohen, spokesperson of the Strategic Communications Task Force in the United States to account his statements in Dr. Phil's show of last week. During the show in question, Cohen had declared that the OM is of the opinion that the three boys are guilty of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The OM had asked Cohen in a letter where he got the information from and called him to account the fact that he declared the three boys guilty.
"As Public Prosecutor, we are not allowed to comment on the question whether a person is guilty or not, and we will never do that either, neither will we relinquish detailed information from the investigation", said spokesperson Mariaine Croes of the OM. It upsets the OM that Cohen, as official spokesperson of Aruba, has done this. Also the lawyer of the Kalpoe brothers, David Kock, has indicated not being pleased at all with the firm statements of Cohen. He says that Cohen should have maintained the indication that the three boys are suspects, but Cohen decided to assume the judge's position by indicating firmly that they are guilty and his statements are considered very important since he is partly being paid by the government.

Aruba officials take steps to move island's tourism industry ahead
The Aruban Tourism industry continues to make such bold and positive claims, yet where are the posted tourism numbers since the summer? It's not just Americans that are asking such questions, its Aruban politicians as well. From Travel Weekly comes the following:
"Despite the publicity surrounding the tragic disappearance of Natalee Holloway and the events that have followed, 2005 was a successful year for Aruba in terms of visitor figures and the launch of new projects on the island. Not all figures are in yet, but we recorded an overall growth of 3% from the U.S. market through October."
Echoing that sentiment was Edison Briesen, minister of tourism, who addressed the media at the recent Caribbean Marketplace in San Juan. Briesen outlined several projects in the works on the island:
- The development of a second tourism corridor at Baby Beach on the eastern end of Aruba;
- A $60 million expansion plan at Queen Beatrix International Airport and an expansion of the cruise ship terminal;
- An upgrade and renovation project in downtown Oranjestad;
- The launch of a tourism-training program for locals called The Promise;
- More than $150 million in various hotel renovations;
- The continuation of Aruba's successful ACE (Aruba Certified Expert) program for agents.
- (But no money for this?)

Locals Highlight PCC Football Intrasquad Scrimmage Friday, Aug. 26
Featuring its largest local class of players in the past two decades, the Pasadena City College football team will hold an intrasquad scrimmage on Friday, Aug. 26 at Robinson Stadium. The Lancers will begin plays monitored by official game referees at 5 p.m.
New PCC Head Coach Fred Fimbres has 15 players from Pasadena John Muir High on this year's roster, including returning defensive back Marcus Graves (30 tackles, two interceptions in 2010). Linebacker Grant Haggard, the Lancers' second-leading tackler last season with 70, is another local talent from Monrovia High.
Freshman newcomer quarterback Justin Posthuma is out of St. Francis High. A Mission League offensive MVP as a senior, he passed for 2,115 yards and rushed for 787 yards in 2009, then sat out last year as a redshirt walk-on at UCLA.
The Lancers open the 2011 regular season with a pair of Saturday, non-conference home games on Sept. 3 and 10. PCC begins the Coach Fimbres' era against visiting, long-time rival Glendale College before hosting Allan Hancock College (Santa Maria) in week 2. All Pasadena home games have 6 p.m. kickoffs.

|Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), Burundi: Human rights record "shows no improvement", 23 July 2008, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/488f1809c.html [accessed 30 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
BUJUMBURA, 23 July 2008 (IRIN) - At least 400 people were killed in the first quarter of 2008, which indicates that Burundi's human rights record has failed to improve this year, according to Iteka, a rights group.
All the country's provinces were affected by violence, particularly Bujumbura Rural, Bubanza and Cibitoke, where the rebel Forces nationales de libération (FNL) have been active, Iteka stated in its report for 2007 and the first quarter of 2008.
Addressing a news conference on 21 July, Iteka chairman David Nahimana said the "killing is mainly blamed on the armed banditry, which claimed 223 victims".
However, Nahimana said: "The police and the army also account for 31 and 48 cases respectively, while FNL is blamed for 47 cases."
On 22 July, Lt-Col Adolphe Manirakiza, the army spokesman, rejected Iteka's allegations, saying the army was not killing civilians.
"The author of the report is the only one responsible for its content," Manirakiza said. "Whenever a soldier is held responsible for a killing, whether by indiscipline or misconduct, he is seriously sanctioned before the military jurisdictions."
Iteka also deplored the fact that sexual violence remained rampant. The group registered some 455 women and girl victims of rape, the majority younger than 12.
According to Nahimana, sexual violence was on the increase because perpetrators were not punished sufficiently. He added that victims' fear of reporting rape crimes and lack of support from the community were contributing factors.
Among other recommendations, Iteka urged the government to speed up the disarmament of the civilian populations and establish protective measures for vulnerable groups and to enact severe punishment for sexual crimes.
