border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698699593066033362" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hace tiempo que oímos las noticias sobre los problemas de las leyes y el desorden en el transito tanto los que manejan vehículos como los peatones en nuestras ciudades, así como los encargados de velar por el cumplimiento de las leyes. &lt;br /&gt;El problema empezó con la demasiada tolerancia al otro extremo de poner multas ridículas y algunas leyes estúpidas, se trata de buscar a quien echarle la culpa de que seamos uno de los países con mas accidentes de transito en el mundo convirtiéndonos en un peligro el salir a las calles todos los días. &lt;br /&gt;Esto no se resuelve con elevar multas o si hay o no tolerancia con el licor al manejar, tampoco con aprobar cantidad de leyes para regular el tema. Como pretenden lograr un cambio en las prácticas de manejo y en lograr calles mas seguras si el problema principal  no es el licor o las multas o la leyes y los chorizos, la mayoría de las personas no saben manejar cuando están sobrios como van  manejar  estando con otras limitaciones, hay que llegar a la raíz del problema y eso es exigiendo un formación segura y responsable para las personas que tienen licencia.  &lt;br /&gt;Hay muchos que tienen licencia pero manejan como cuadrúpedos, eso lo vemos todos los días en las carreteras, lo que falta es sentido común, practicas de seguridad al manejar y caminar por las calles, un curso de seguridad vial que haga énfasis en la mínima cortesía y prácticas al manejar, grabarles en la cabeza que no se debe insistir en el derecho de vía aunque uno tenga la vía y la razón.  &lt;br /&gt;Lo importante no es tener la vía o saber cambiar marchas, por que las técnicas de manejo las aprende cualquier chiquito fácilmente, sino manejar responsablemente y evitar ser parte de un accidente, dejar que los idiotas al volante vayan adelante y no ser parte de sus imbecilidades, indudablemente van a encontrar con sus prácticas de manejo un accidente que muchas veces es mortal.&lt;br /&gt;La actitud al manejar, el entrenamiento de las prácticas seguras y ser corteses son puntos básicos que no tienen la mayoría de los ¨licenciados ¨  además de  entender que el mejor chofer no es el que va mas rápido o el que se adelanta a los demás vehículos sino el chofer que no se arriesga a un accidente compitiendo con los que tratan de desquitarse sus problemas personales al volante. &lt;br /&gt;La corrupción de policías, las leyes, las multas y el licor son problemas secundarios y más fáciles de resolver, así que porque no empezamos resolviendo el fondo del problema. &lt;br /&gt;Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson.:&lt;br /&gt;http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com&lt;br /&gt;http://attorneykearney@yahoo.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-asNBUys3Ad4/TxXZF2vJ99I/AAAAAAAAAtA/17YyonU7ReU/s1600/funny-vanity-license-plates-fail-banned-in-hollywood-14-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Another group of about 10 people around the corner also saw them. Apparently they seemed to be some type of test balloons maybe or a UFO. I am sure they were not any type of fireworks, meteors, rockets, planes or reflections. &lt;br /&gt;This happened at 12:30 am right after new years eve a few days ago after all the fireworks settled.&lt;br /&gt;They flew at a very high altitude and came out from two opposite directions in the sky.&lt;br /&gt;a couple of videos were taken but the photos would not register, a portable computer which was on went off.&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-7800ab28b74f64fd" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v3.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D7800ab28b74f64fd%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1329999860%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D4ACBC82E7B8BF888DCA5261E2B29B297A60B66B7.67B24F739E2AE76336B30E75962E2C23AAF6F906%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D7800ab28b74f64fd%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DZQNqMbzJmnLvweyJBtr2iqp3mrs&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v3.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D7800ab28b74f64fd%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1329999860%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D4ACBC82E7B8BF888DCA5261E2B29B297A60B66B7.67B24F739E2AE76336B30E75962E2C23AAF6F906%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D7800ab28b74f64fd%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DZQNqMbzJmnLvweyJBtr2iqp3mrs&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;Diario Extra : &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Muchos vieron luces en el cielo&lt;br /&gt;OVNIS VOLARON POR SAN JOSÉ EN EL CAMBIO DE AÑO&lt;br /&gt;Ariel Chaves González&lt;br /&gt;achaves@diarioextra.com&lt;br /&gt;Fotos: Cortesía de Gregory Kearney y&lt;br /&gt;fotomontage Germán Meza&lt;br /&gt;Estas son algunas de las luces vistas en el cielo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El pasado fin de semana, durante el cambio de año, al parecer objetos voladores no identificados, mejor conocidos como ovnis, sobrevolaron la ciudad de San José y fueron vistos por bastantes personas, en especial en los sectores de Hatillo y Zapote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gregory Kearney, abogado que se encontraba en Zapote, expresó que vio a los ovnis a eso de las 12:00 media noche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Estábamos en la casa de la suegra de mi hermana. Salimos para ver el juego de pólvora. Al rato ya sin nada fuegos artificiales en el cielo, vimos una luz roja cruzar. Pensamos que era un avión, luego vimos tres luces más volando y era muy alto, pero más rápido que un avión. Luego al otro extremo de cielo aparecieron entre seis y siete luces rojas encendidas y también de color naranja. Estaban suspendidas”, expresó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kearney comentó que quince minutos después, salió a ver el cielo y una vez más apareció la luz roja, la cual se acercó más y más al suelo creándose de esta forma una imagen parecida a un paracaídas que cayó sobre una vivienda a 100 metros de donde estaba. Ahí había como diez personas viendo el cielo y claro que las imágenes desaparecieron”, explicó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El jurista dijo que a las luces extrañas las vieron todos los miembros de su familia, más de 20 personas que se encontraban reunidas esperando el nuevo año.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Todos las vieron y fue algo impresionante”, comentó.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621354666952169017-1757627739605777199?l=attorneykearney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/feeds/1757627739605777199/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2012/01/strange-red-lights-in-skies-of-costa.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/1757627739605777199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/1757627739605777199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2012/01/strange-red-lights-in-skies-of-costa.html' title='Strange red lights in the skies of Costa Rica'/><author><name>AttorneyKearney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05321003499787972052</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/STUEyjf-NsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0B_LteFmSlM/S220/Gregory+in+black.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621354666952169017.post-5802852185305691803</id><published>2011-11-14T01:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T01:33:44.862-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='información'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='imagen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='derechos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='delitos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rostro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='accion ciudadana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='derechos humanos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='incoencia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='seguridad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='penal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='costa rica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Convencion'/><title type='text'>Y mi derecho a la información y a la seguridad !</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mJU5Cx9dgvw/TsDgcVQqwmI/AAAAAAAAAss/Stl8oUBTxzU/s1600/Breanne-Lee-Rasmussen-mugshot.80x80.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

Con mucho más razón ese derecho de la población es extensivo a las personas que se sospecha haber participado en un delito o de tener alguna información importante que ayude a esclarecer los hechos de la investigción. &lt;br /&gt;Al ver una persona detenida por las autoridades se puede presumir que es de interés policial aunque no se puede ni debe decir que es culpable hasta que se le juzgue por un tribunal, respetando sus derechos básicos, la publicación de la imagen y datos como el nombre no forman parte de esos derechos en ciertos casos, en Costa Rica se ha malinterpretado y confundido la presunción de inocencia con la publicación en los medios de comunicación.&lt;br /&gt;Los delincuentes que ya son encontrados culpables por sentencia firme de delitos, deben de ser publicados en listas de acceso al público para no violar el derecho a la seguridad de las personas inocentes y que estas se puedan cuidar por ejemplo de abusadores de menores, violadores, ladrones, asesinos, estafadores etc. &lt;br /&gt;En Estados Unidos existen listas de exconvictos por delitos sexuales que son de acceso al público inclusive con la dirección exacta donde viven y de esta manera las personas puedan protegerse de los delincuentes, esto es una manera en las que el estado puede resguardar el derecho a la seguridad de aquellos que si respetan la ley.&lt;br /&gt;Se trata de que los derechos de las personas inocentes que deben de estar por encima de cualquier derecho limitado de imagen e información de personas que se les haya investigado y con mayor razón comprobado su participación en un delito mayor. &lt;br /&gt;Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson.:&lt;br /&gt;attorneykearney.blogspot.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621354666952169017-5802852185305691803?l=attorneykearney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/feeds/5802852185305691803/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2011/11/y-mi-derecho-la-informacion-y-la.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/5802852185305691803'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/5802852185305691803'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2011/11/y-mi-derecho-la-informacion-y-la.html' title='Y mi derecho a la información y a la seguridad !'/><author><name>AttorneyKearney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05321003499787972052</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/STUEyjf-NsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0B_LteFmSlM/S220/Gregory+in+black.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mJU5Cx9dgvw/TsDgcVQqwmI/AAAAAAAAAss/Stl8oUBTxzU/s72-c/Breanne-Lee-Rasmussen-mugshot.80x80.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621354666952169017.post-7039054063586728616</id><published>2011-11-08T02:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T02:36:07.316-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Joe Frazier'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='world bank'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boxing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='championship'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Boxer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Boxeador'/><title type='text'>Joe Frazier Dies from Liver Cancer, Joe Frazier Fallecio de Cancer en el higado</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ATdtuv8sZpA/TrkGCgMAGuI/AAAAAAAAAqo/5K7A342klpw/s1600/Joe%2BFrazier.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

Seguramente de los mismos que estaban choriceando recientemente permisos, otro problema es los que vemos a diario zigzagueando entre los carros como si fueran abejas recogiendo polen en un jardín, seguro que van a llegar unos segundos mas rápido a su destino, lo que no saben es, que cada moto debe tener su espacio como si fuera un carro, pero la gran mayoría nunca ha oído sobre estas reglas de conducir aceptadas internacionalmente.&lt;br /&gt;Los choferes de Bus y Taxistas, en vez de ser un ejemplo de experiencia son otro grupo de las carreteras de los que hay que suponer que están practicando para ir a La Guácima para no terminar en un hospital medio quebrado, la gran incógnita es ¿ Adonde aprendieron a manejar ? Un buen consejo seria que se llevarán unas clases obligatorias de cortesía vial.  &lt;br /&gt;Encima de esto tenemos que cuidarnos de los maleantes, quiebra ventanas, de particulares que se convierten en locos de remate cuando se sienten con un timón delante de ellos, peatones que salen de cualquier rincón de la calle capeándose vehículos como toreros improvisados y vendedores que tratan de ganarse la vida con el peligro que conlleva andar pegando saltos en la vía pública. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con razón es que encabezamos la lista a nivel mundial de accidentes de transito, el problema es que casi nadie maneja con precaución, no se respetan las reglas básicas de manejo, muchos piensan que las líneas pintadas en el pavimento son una decoración, la cortesía se practica en muy contadas ocasiones y no hay una regulación efectiva para otorgar clases de manejo, Esto no se resuelve con multas exageradamente altas sino mas bien con educación vial efectiva y sin chorizos.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621354666952169017-2797795335076977683?l=attorneykearney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/feeds/2797795335076977683/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2011/11/suicidio-colectivo-en-nuestras-calles.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/2797795335076977683'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/2797795335076977683'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2011/11/suicidio-colectivo-en-nuestras-calles.html' title='&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Suicidio colectivo en nuestras calles    &lt;/span&gt;'/><author><name>AttorneyKearney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05321003499787972052</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/STUEyjf-NsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0B_LteFmSlM/S220/Gregory+in+black.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MCABfa33I2w/TrjrTgMSX-I/AAAAAAAAAqc/Ido4OHG7IiQ/s72-c/car%2Baccident.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621354666952169017.post-6634711328508113218</id><published>2011-09-13T01:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-13T03:56:05.502-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dos mil once'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beauty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='contest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='universo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pageant'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='costa rica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ms.Universe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='belleza'/><title type='text'>Miss Universo 2011- Gustos son gustos</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x3oEE-kiVsU/Tm82oo-SX4I/AAAAAAAAAqE/zmjV466d7aY/s1600/Angola.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 10 años de prisión fue condenado Rodney Morrison Barcas en New York, el delito que se le condenó fue por vender cigarrillos sin pagar los impuestos, este millonario negocio lo logró al casarse con una indígena de la reserva soberana en ese mismo estado donde no se le obliga a las tiendas dentro de la reserva ¨ Poospatuck ¨, a pagar los impuestos.  &lt;br /&gt;Ahí adquirió una tienda de tabaco y vendió millones de dólares en cigarrillos sin pagar impuestos fuera de la reserva, En el 2004 fue acusado de asesinatos por encargo, robo, provocar incendios, participe de crimen organizado pero salió libre por varios errores de procedimiento.&lt;br /&gt;Ha estado preso desde Agosto del 2004 y ese tiempo se le descontará de la condena. &lt;br /&gt;El hermano de Rodney Morrison Barcas, es el presidente del equipo de Futbol de Limón FC, Carlos Howden Pascall, quien fue sorprendido desnudo en su casa cerca del Liceo diurno, cuando fue detenido esta mañana, es investigado por lavado de dólares al recibir aproximadamente 18 millones de dólares de su hermano provenientes de las actividades delictuosas, Howden Pascall supuestamente invertía esas fuertes sumas de dinero en propiedades, una discoteca, restaurantes, hoteles, un equipo de baseball, el equipo de Futbol Limón FC el cual tenía una deuda de 100 millones de colones y fue cancelada al adquirir el equipo. &lt;br /&gt;Seis meses de prisión preventiva le impusieron a Howden Pascall, ademas de la casa también allanaron varios negocios pertenecientes al mismo detenido, incluyendo el Hotel Tortuga Relax en Moin, el supermercado Rigos en playa bonita, restaurante Reinas en playa bonita, la discoteca Guiñitos, las oficinas del Limón Futbol Club y una propiedad a la par del Hotel Malibu Caribe.&lt;br /&gt;La esposa de Pascall Sharon Brown Anderson junto con los dos mencionados fueron investigados desde hace varios años depues de reportes del Banco nacional y el Banco de Costa Rica por operaciones sospechosas, pero la SUGEF y la Fiscalía de delítos economicos no le dieron seguimiento. &lt;br /&gt;Al parecer no existen controles en los equipos de futbol del país, la mafia se ha infiltrado en el deporte en muchos países, en Costa Rica parece que también ya llegó, pero quienes son los responsables de que el deporte en nuestro país sea limpio y honesto ?  Quien controla y fiscaliza a estos deportes ? La respuesta pareciera ser que nadie y si existiera alguien entonces brillan por su ausencia.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

el partido de Liberación Nacional quiso manipular la elección e imponer una reelección del actual directorio mayoritariamente Liberacionista, especialmente la del anterior presidente de la Asamblea, el diputado Luis Gerardo Villanueva que fue objeto de la crisis. &lt;br /&gt;Los partidos del bloque de oposición no lo permitieron y abandonaron el recinto como muchas veces se hace cuando los diputados quieren romper el quórum, con esto por supuesto pierden su derecho a la ¨dieta¨ pero impiden que la votación continúe. &lt;br /&gt;La Diputada Vicepresidente Annie Saborio fue la que le correspondió presidir las elecciones pero le faltó ordenar y detener la votación en el primer momento en que los diputados de liberación empezaron a acercarse al recinto de votación, mas bien si se hubieran apegado al reglamento hubieran votado como normalmente lo hacen desde sus asientos en el plenario. &lt;br /&gt;Cuando la votaciòn se volvió a empezar se dieron cuenta que las cámaras de seguridad estaban apuntando hacia el lugar de votación, eso es el colmo de la sinverguenzada, el gran irrespeto al voto secreto es un pésimo ejemplo que están dando al pueblo que los eligió. &lt;br /&gt;De acuerdo al artículo 105 del reglamento el ¨diputado que se ausente de una votación perderá su derecho a la dieta¨ pero esto no implica que los votos se acumularán o se perderán.&lt;br /&gt;Es una vergüenza para Costa Rica que algunos representantes del pueblo quieran imponer un candidato independientemente del partido que pertenezcan, definitivamente es un día oscuro para el Partido Liberación Nacional y la Asamblea Legislativa y un atentado a la democracia que hemos construido durante tantos años.&lt;br /&gt;Fue acertada a decisión de Villanueva de ¨renunciar¨ a candidato presidencial de la Asamblea Legislativa en esta segunda etapa, en una elección que fue a todas luces nula e irrespetuosa de los derechos básicos al sufragio.&lt;div

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Osama Bin Laden el terrorista del grupo terrorista Al Qaeda que anduvo diez años en fuga finalmente fue acabado por la inteligencia y las fuerzas de Estados Unidos de América en Abottadad, Pakistan.&lt;br /&gt;En la mansión en que estaba con otros miembros de su familia fue muerto con un disparo en la cabeza, finalizando una década de espera para hacerse justicia.&lt;br /&gt;Bin Laden era hijo de un Yemení millonario y la esposa mayor de las cuatro que tenía su padre de nacionalidad Syria; tuvo mas de cincuenta hermanos. Cambio su interés de la religión a la política por la influencia de su profesor Palestino universitario Abdullah Azzam. &lt;br /&gt;Después de fundar el grupo Al Qaeda a finales de los años ochenta con el financiamiento de los millones de dólares de la empresa constructora de su familia se dedico a atacar los soviéticos  en Afganistán  &lt;br /&gt;Luego en los años noventa siguió con ataques a Estados Unidos de Norte América, Kenya y Tanzania luego formó una red de terrorismo con células en varios países.&lt;br /&gt;Hubieron varios reportes falsos del fallecimiento de Bin Laden en el pasado, el primero fue en el año dos mil uno se rumoraba que había fallecido de complicaciones en los pulmones. &lt;br /&gt;Benazir Bhutto, la Presidente de Pakistán que fue asesinada en el dos mil siete había anunciado en Noviembre de ese mismo año que Osama Bin Laden había sido asesinado y que conocía la persona que lo había matado y que se llamaba según ella Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, uno de los terroristas que mató al Periodista Estadounidense Daniel Pearl.&lt;br /&gt;Después de trasladarse de Arabia Saudita al país africano de Sudan siguió creciendo su grupo de terror y hizo amistad con los talibanes de Afganistán.&lt;br /&gt;Sus días de terror, muerte y amenazas terminaron pero seguramente surgirá otro seguidor que quiera imitarlo, ahora que Bin Laden esta fallecido la amenaza no termina pero si bajan las fuerzas y el ánimo del grupo terrorista que ha disminuido considerablemente según expertos, a menos de cien personas.  &lt;br /&gt;Mientras tanto ahora le tocará ser juzgado por el supremo ser, siento que ahora no habrá alguien que quiera estar en su lugar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson.:&lt;br /&gt;attorneykearney@yahoo.com&lt;br /&gt;http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PYJTseN_Y60/Tb4y3jeCxdI/AAAAAAAAAn4/WSWyx1Q0voY/s1600/Osama%2BBin%2BLaden.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

esto nos hace preguntarnos si el feto, el embrión y el preembrión también tiene derechos, además si alguno de estos estados del humano es una persona.&lt;br /&gt;Para saber esto hay que entender los estados del ser humano antes del nacimiento, estos se pueden definir en varias etapas, primero se da la fecundación que dura 24 horas y que es el momento en que se une el esperrmatozoide con el ovulo y empieza la reproducción de las células que se duplican formando un preembrión, esto aproximadamente durante los primeros 14-15 días, el preembrión se convierte en un embrión, el embrión empieza a tener tejidos y dura aproximadamente 56 días desarollandose en este estado. Luego el embrión se convierte en un feto que empieza a tener forma de bebe, cuando empieza a formársele los brazos, las piernas y demás órganos.&lt;br /&gt;La pregunta que muchos se hacen es en que momento este deja de ser una célula o un tejido y se convierte en otro ser.&lt;br /&gt;Tenemos que tomar en cuenta los diferentes puntos de vista, en el aspecto religioso y espiritual, el ser humano es una persona desde el momento de la fecundación, inclusive desde antes de la fecundación según Jeremías 1, versículo 5 que dice ¨Antes de que te formase en el vientre te conocí y antes de que nacieses te santifiqué¨. Igualmente dice Salmo 139, versículo 16 ¨Mi embrión vieron tus ojos y en tu libro estaban escritas todas aquellas cosas que luego fueron formadas, sin faltar una de ellas¨ en San Lucas en el capítulo 1, versículo 39 al 44 habla de que Elizabeth, cuando oyó la voz de María quien era su prima su bebe quien era Juan el Bautista, saltó de alegría al oír su voz, cuando estaba en el vientre, varios meses antes de nacer. &lt;br /&gt;Desde el punto de vista científico existen variedad de teorías, unos dicen que es desde el momento de la concepción otros dicen que el ser humano se convierte en persona hasta que ya esta formado el bebe neonato  que es a partir de unos cuatro a seis meses de embarazo de la madre, para diferenciar una persona de un preembrión también se dice que llega a ser una persona cuando no se puede dividir en dos partes sin dejar de estar vivo, en este caso un prembrión se puede dividir en dos y no por eso dejaría de existir, por eso algunos no lo consideraran persona todavía, pero un feto o un embrión  no se podría dividir y mantener con vida aunque esto también es debatible ya que un bebe sin extremidades le estaría faltando casi la mitad de su cuerpo y seguiría siendo persona. Según la biología no se ha llegado a una conclusión de cuando empieza a existir la persona humana. Lo que falta definir es en que momento un preembrión o embrión deja de ser un tejido o un grupo de células y se convierte en persona humana. Muchos están de acuerdo en que durante los primeros 15 días de la fecundación, el preembrión es vida humana y que esta vida humana es una persona en potencia que puede llegar a nacer o a ser desechado por la naturaleza o en algunos casos por un aborto provocado. &lt;br /&gt;Nuestro código protege los derechos del hijo por nacer al castigar el abortó y hasta recientemente regulaba el matrimonio de la mujer antes de los 300 días de divorciada para descartar cualquier embarazo, protegiendo así los derechos del bebe por nacer, a tener un apellido y a tener un padre biológico reconocido y a tener los demás derechos de un hijo. &lt;br /&gt;Los derechos de un premebrión, embrión o feto es el punto de controversia en la ¨fertilización in vitro¨, este ultimo no es otra cosa mas que la fecundación del espermatozoide y el ovulo fuera del cuerpo de una mujer. El caso de una mujer que se somete a una ¨fertilización in vitro¨ y tiene ya un embrión en el laboratorio, se puede decir que esta embarazada aunque no dentro de su cuerpo sino lo que se puede denominar un ¨embarazo externo¨. Este es un término nuevo que se inicia con el avance de la ciencia.  &lt;br /&gt;Parte de esta discusión se resolvería garantizando que no se desecharan o destruyeran los óvulos fecundados, generalmente los óvulos que tienen posibilidad de llegar a nacer son congelados o cristalizados para una implantación a futuro, los óvulos que no tienen posibilidad de nacer o que son defectuosos si son desechados porque los especialistas afirman que en condiciones naturales nunca llegarían a nacer o nacerían con defectos graves, la diferencia esta en que estos óvulos en un caso son desechados naturalmente y en otro caso son desechados por los científicos del laboratorio, sin embargo esto debe ser estrictamente regulado para evitar abusos y delitos tales como un ¨asesinato prenatal¨.&lt;br /&gt;Existen excepciones en que los derechos a la vida de un neonato pueden perderse, esto sería en caso de que la vida de la madre corriera un grave peligro de muerte, la madre tendría un mayor derecho a la vida siempre y cuando el médico haga lo posible para salvar al bebe por nacer.&lt;br /&gt;Cuando la fecundación se hace en forma natural los expertos calculan que de cada cien embarazos, ochenta son desechados por el cuerpo y veinte tienen posibilidad de llegar al útero, de esos veinte unos diez y seis llegan bien y solo once de ellos nacen. &lt;br /&gt;Hay definitivamente un momento en que un preembrión se convierte en un embrión y deja de ser un tejido o simples células para convertirse en otro ser, en humanos esto sucede en algún momento dentro de las primeras dos semanas de la fecundación y para algunos, es por lo menos en el momento de la fecundación. En conclusión, la fecundación invitro debe permitirse siempre y cuando los embriones que tengan posibilidad de nacer, no se desechen y pueda respetarse su derecho a la vida, mediante un sistema seguro, esto permitiría a su vez a que las parejas ejerzan su derecho a tener una familia con hijos biológicos .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson.&lt;br /&gt;http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com&lt;br /&gt;attorneykearney@yahoo.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621354666952169017-8118996437074097783?l=attorneykearney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/feeds/8118996437074097783/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2011/04/cuando-es-que-nos-convertimos-en.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/8118996437074097783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/8118996437074097783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2011/04/cuando-es-que-nos-convertimos-en.html' title='¿Cuando es que nos convertimos en persona?'/><author><name>AttorneyKearney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05321003499787972052</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/STUEyjf-NsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0B_LteFmSlM/S220/Gregory+in+black.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K8_8Nug2cRI/TbkYILDWriI/AAAAAAAAAnw/PjvAl77t08Q/s72-c/fertilizacion_in_vitro.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621354666952169017.post-6391828240442719254</id><published>2011-04-25T03:35:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-25T04:18:50.772-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cannabis sativa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='legal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mota'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='marihuana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='medicinales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='leyes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='costa rica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='laws'/><title type='text'>Mota si o no</title><content type='html'>Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recientemente se han escuchado comentarios y opiniones a favor y en contra de legalizar la droga llamada Marihuana. El concepto que tiene la mayoría de la población es negativo y mucha razón tienen porque el uso mas común no es para fines médicos o paliativos sino para que los adictos pongan a sus mentes en un transe y entorpezcan sus acciones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La marihuana para fines estrictamente médicas y en casos de extremo dolor para pacientes terminales, es uno de los pocos beneficios que tiene esta planta para los afectados. Para estos casos si se debe legalizar la marihuana, pero también debe ser estrictamente regulada porque sino pronto estaríamos viendo el abuso indiscriminado de esta sustancia no solo en los callejones sino también en la vida diaria. Imaginese ¿Que clase de tratamiento le puede dar un Médico que se haya fumado un puro ? ¿Que clase de representación puede darle un Abogado Marihuano ?  O que la Maestra de sus escuela se fume un cigarillo cruzado durante el recreo y luego le de clases a sus hijos.&lt;br /&gt;No creo que eso sea lo que queremos para nuestra sociedad.&lt;br /&gt;Además de causar enfisema, daños al corazón y cáncer como los cigarillos de tabaco, el usar marihuana por un largo tiempo hace que algunas personas pierdan el interés en el colegio, trabajo, en las relaciones y otras actividades. A las personas que usan la droga se les dificulta recordar cosas porque les afecta la memoria, les toma más tiempo para reaccionar ante cualquier situación, provoca dificultad para concentrarse y la percepción del tiempo lo distorsiona, causa somnolencia y ansiedad y también provoca paranoia.&lt;br /&gt;Otra posible solución es la de producir una variación que no tuviera delta-9 ¨TetraHidroCannabinol¨ llamado tambien THC, una de las sustancias perjudiciales que influyen en las partes del cerebro que contienen receptores cannabonoides; así no tendría el efecto alucinógeno y se podría aprovechar los efectos positivos que tiene la planta sin que sea una amenaza tan grande a la salud y a los valores morales y familiares, aunque siempre tendría efectos negativos en los pulmones y el corazón.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otros efectos que tiene el uso de la marihuana es que baja la presión y aumenta el ritmo cardíaco de forma que la persona es cuatro veces mas posible que sufra un ataque al corazón.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La marihuana contiene cincuenta por ciento mas hidrocarbonos cancerígenos que el humo del tabaco y tres veces mas alquitrán, los fumadores generalmente inhalan por mas tiempo el humo del primero así exponiendo su organismo por mas tiempo a estos elementos cancerígenos. También debilita el sistema inmunológico ya que disminuye la cantidad de ¨ células T ¨ o ¨células thymus¨ que pertenecen a un grupo de células blancas o Lymfocytos, esto pone a las personas a ser mas susceptibles a que contraigan una infección o enfermedad.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los daños de este vicio no solo afecta a la persona que lo consume, en  mujeres embarazadas se ha probado que el uso de la marihuana causa problemas neurológicos a los bebes por nacer y en las personas que están cercanas también les afecta &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me acuerdo que una Maestra de tercer grado de la escuela nos dijo una vez que cuando fuéramos adultos seguramente iban a haber otras drogas prohibidas que iban a tomar el lugar del ¨cannabis sativa¨ ,  que esta droga iba a verse como cualquier otro cigarillo y las nuevas drogas se iban a popularizar entre ciertos círculos de personas, muchos años después me di cuenta que tenía toda la razón. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No hay que ser científico para ver los efectos negativos que tiene la marihuana en las células, el cerebrales, los pulmones, el corazón y la salud en general, solo es necesario ver las acciones de las personas que lo consumen.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621354666952169017-6391828240442719254?l=attorneykearney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/feeds/6391828240442719254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2011/04/mota-si-o-no.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/6391828240442719254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/6391828240442719254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2011/04/mota-si-o-no.html' title='Mota si o no'/><author><name>AttorneyKearney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05321003499787972052</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/STUEyjf-NsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0B_LteFmSlM/S220/Gregory+in+black.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621354666952169017.post-9155158969239199968</id><published>2011-04-08T12:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-11T18:02:34.838-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='desarollo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='parque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='el salvdor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='municipalidad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inauguraciones'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='asociaciones'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='San Jose.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='costa rica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='La Pitahaya'/><title type='text'>EL PARQUE DE LA PITAHAYA Y LA ASOCIACIÓN DE DESARROLLO</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lWs8nOxLYhM/TaOkYw9glgI/AAAAAAAAAng/_cRjCivDPnI/s1600/Gregory%2BParque%2BLa%2BPithaya.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

Esto fue una ayuda imprescindible, ya que nos daba más fuerza ante la Municipalidad de San José para que esta se involucrara también.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este segundo proyecto sería una inversión bastante alta que solo se podría lograr con ayudas a niveles superiores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Empezamos a reunirnos el suscrito Presidente, la Secretaria y la Vocal de la Asociación de Desarrollo con el embajador de El Salvador de ese tiempo, el licenciado, Hugo Carrillo, y con personeros de la Embajada así como con comerciantes de la colonia salvadoreña, quienes fueron todos un apoyo muy importante y formamos un Comité Pro Parque. Empezamos a reunirnos de manera constante en la Embajada, a hacer actividades y bailes que fueron exitosos y recaudamos fondos para este proyecto ambicioso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Más o menos al año de trabajar arduamente se logró la remodelación total y quedó como uno de los parques más lindos de nuestro país, la inauguración coincidió con una de las reuniones de los presidentes de Centroamérica y asistió gran cantidad de invitados de honor así como muchos vecinos de las comunidades de La Pitahaya y Barrio México.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nos quedó una gran satisfacción por lograr la segunda meta y por mostrar que pequeños grupos pueden hacer una gran diferencia en las comunidades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Varias personas de la Junta Directiva y colaboradores se sintieron mal por no haber una placa de la directiva completa en ese momento y aún más cuando omitieron mi nombre como miembro del comité del parque y como Presidente de la Asociación en las placas, pero curiosamente sí pusieron las de los demás del comité, no sé si por mala intención y envidia o por estupidez de algunas pocas personas de la propia asociación, pero el no aparecer en las placas o agradecimientos no significa que durante ese período no se inició y terminó estos grandes proyectos, claro que fue con la ayuda valiosa de toda la comunidad, la directiva completa y de las demás personas que siempre se acercaban a colaborar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora cada vez que paso por el Parque República de El Salvador, conocido también como el Parque del Barrio La Pitahaya o por la cancha multiuso siento la alegría por haber hecho una gran diferencia en mi barrio aunque muchos no sepan quiénes fuimos los responsables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como les dije a varias personas, lo más importante fue que se lograron los proyectos que parecían imposibles de alcanzar cuando iniciamos el período de mi Presidencia y que la comunidad salió beneficiada .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al final alcanzamos nuestro objetivo y la comunidad salió ganando aunque otros se traten de llevar las flores.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

acompañada por sus hermanas y su mama y papa, ademas de la cantidad de público que llegó al nuevo estadio nacional que se calcula en mas de 12,000 aficionados.&lt;br /&gt;Segun el manager de Hanna, ya tiene retos en Las Vegas y Uruguay.&lt;br /&gt;La proxima rival se sabe que quieren que no sea zurda como Melisinda Perez, quien peleó en los ultimas dos encuentros de Hanna.   &lt;br /&gt;Como nota

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Banca de Argentina empata a la Sele&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson.:       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El empate de la selección de Costa Rica con la de Argentina dió un falso alivio de no haber hecho el ridículo ante un equipo de los grandes, Nuestra selección jugó muy bien y con mucho entusiasmo que se notaba en la cancha de principio a fin, este partido fue uno de los que pocas veces se nota la entrega de los jugadores cuando juega nuestra nueva selección, el portero Keylor Navas se lució salvando al equipo en multiples ocasiones, otros de los mas destacados fueron Christian Bolaños, Brian Ruiz, Michael Barrantes y Alvaro Saborío, pero  no pudieron mandar la bola a las redes del contrincante .&lt;br /&gt;Lo amargo de este gran espectáculo fue que para Argentina era nada mas un fogueo con la banca de sus jugadores, mejor dicho un partido ¨mantequilla¨, desde antes de venir a jugar ya tenían planeado que no iban a jugar con sus estrellas para no exponerlos a golpes ni a jugar un partido sin importancia con una selección a la que no se les dio el debido respeto, la excusa fue una lesión farsante que inventaron los dirigentesque tenía su jugardor estrella Leonel Messi. &lt;br /&gt;Esto es una de los mejores ejemplos de cómo algunas veces tratan de manipular la prensa para poder vender entradas a un partido o evento especial inflandolo mas de lo que verdaderamente es, solo un partido para inaugurar el nuevo estadio ¨Dalai Lama¨ con jugadores suplentes de un equipo de primera . &lt;br /&gt;El mismo técnico Argentino dijo que su principal interés era la copa América que por cierto tienen mucho tiempo de no ganarla.&lt;br /&gt;La calificación del equipo argentino que jugó es igual que el marcador 00 .&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621354666952169017-663420181962349585?l=attorneykearney.blogspot.com' alt=''

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•Gregory Richard Kearney en los ochentas&lt;br /&gt;TICO ERA FOTÓGRAFO DE LIZ TAYLOR:&lt;br /&gt;“ELLA ERA MUY SIMPÁTICA”&lt;br /&gt;Ariel Chaves González&lt;br /&gt;achaves@diarioextra.com&lt;br /&gt;Fotos y reproducciones Randall Sandoval&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El fotógrafo y ahora abogado Gregory Richard Kearney, visitó las instalaciones de DIARIO EXTRA para compartir sus fotos de Elizabeth Taylor. &lt;br /&gt;La muerte de Elizabeth Taylor motivó a este medio a buscar al conocido abogado y fotógrafo costarricense, Gregory Richard Kearney, famoso por haber fotografiado a decenas de actores y actrices en Hollywood durante su paso por los Estados Unidos entre 1980 y 1990, siendo un joven corresponsal de la revista National Enquirer, la cual lo acreditaba para las fiestas y actividades de los famosos.&lt;br /&gt;Tras consulta de DIARIO EXTRA visitó nuestras instalaciones para resumir sus experiencias con la Taylor.&lt;br /&gt;“Me tocó verla en varias ocasiones, en especial en los premios de la música americana que yo iba de parte de la revista National Enquirer, que es uno de los medios más grandes de los Estados Unidos”, comentó.&lt;br /&gt;A propósito de las fotos de Taylor con Michael Jackson, fue claro que le tomó varias, una de ellas donde sale incluso con Lyonel Richie y el bailarin ruso Mikhail Baryshnikov.&lt;br /&gt;“Me acuerdo que le pedí que me autografiara una de ellas, la tomó pero entendió que se la estaba regalando, no se la podía dar porque la foto ya tenía el autógrafo de Michael Jackson, que más bien lo que deseaba era su autógrafo. Yo le dije que le podía sacar una copia y mandársela para que la tuviera, pero en eso se fue y se montó al carro”, recordó.&lt;br /&gt;Otra anédocta fue que “en otra ocasión me la topé en un restaurante que se llama “Chasens”, que por cierto quedaba muy cerca de mi casa. Era un sitio muy famoso porque llegaban muchos actores a comer. Vendían de todo. Ahí ella llegaba y la vi como tres veces y nos poníamos a conversar”. Un detalle que Gregory no olvida, son los ojos violeta que tenía Liz “mira yo no sé si los vi violeta, más bien eran como morados. En realidad eran entre verdes y azules pero jamas violetas”. Como persona la calificó como un ser humano tranquilo y que siempre se caracterizó por ayudar a la caridad. “Era una persona muy elegante, aristógrata pero a la vez era muy amable. Me acuerdo que era una mujer muy coqueta y muy simpática”. Dice que en los ochentas siempre la acompañaba Michael Jackson en especial a las fiestas. “A mi me tocó conocerla antes de que la operaran por lo que la vi muy bien. Yo en esa época tenía 17 años y hasta los 26.”&lt;br /&gt;Dice en que una ocasión, una revista en Francia (Agencia Gama), lo mandó hasta Puerto Vallarta México a tomarle fotos a la casa que había comprado ahí.&lt;br /&gt;“Eran como dos edificios separados por la calle y mandó a pedir permiso para hacerle un puente y brincarse la calle”, recordó. La describió como “una mujer bajita, que usaba siempre tacones altos y era bastante hablantina, muy comunicativa”. Kearney aprovechó esta entrevista para anunciar su servicio de bodas donde casa a las parejas incluso le toma las fotos.

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se conoce que las torres celulares emiten campos electromagnéticos  su alrededor a una distancia de 400-500 metros. a la redonda. &lt;br /&gt;Los representantes de las empresas celulares lógicamente niegan los efectos de las torres, pero en términos generales todos los científicos están de acuerdo que en que la exposición a campos electromagnéticos tienen efectos sobre las personas y afirman que por lo menos no se puede asegurar que no tenga efectos secundarios en las personas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los efectos dañinos duran entre 10 a 20 años para verse, por eso muchos de los casos en países desarrollados se han visto en años recientes con el incremento de cáncer y de otras enfermedades mortales entre personas que han estado expuestos a estos campos durante períodos largos.&lt;br /&gt;Para entender más fácilmente lo anterior, los campos electromagnéticos son  hondas de energía que tienen dos partes la eléctrica y la magnética, que se entrelazan entre si para formar estos campos electromagnéticos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La exposición a la radiación sabemos que destruye el ADN de los seres vivos y que causa varias enfermedades y dolencias como el cáncer, leucemia y encelopatía así como cantidad de otras dolencias mortales. &lt;br /&gt;La exposición a radiación nuclear causa daños irreparables al ADN de las personas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los estudios de dos investigadores respetables de biomedicina, Narendah Singh y Henry Lai de la Universidad de Washington, muestran que  los campos magnéticos causan daños al ADN porque rompe los filamentos del ADN, causando una condición llamada ¨Micronuclei¨ .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otro experto, el Dr.George Carlo encontró que la sangre humana que estaba expuesta a radiación de un simple teléfono celular aumentaba en un 300% daños genéticos, descubrió que era un daño mucho mas grande que los daños que sabemos produce el fumado y la exposición al asbestos que por cierto esta presente en el material que usan varias empresas como Ricalit y otros para construcción de casas). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones (FCC) de Estados Unidos obliga a poner un rotulo en las torres celulares advirtiendo a las personas que se esta expuesto a un campo electromagnético.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por lo tanto como medidas preventivas no debemos esperar a que se mueran las personas masivamente por cáncer, leucemia y las otras enfermedades, como ocurrió con el cigarrillo, al principio la propaganda del cigarrillo decía que fumar era bueno para la salud y años después tuvieron que aceptar los efectos dañinos que causaban a las personas cuando ya se estaban muriendo y el daño estaba hecho, se hubiera prevenido millones de muertes si se hubieran establecido medidas preventivas sobe los efectos dañinos en la salud.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La ¨Publicación de Salud Ambiental y Ocupacional Internacional¨ confirmó que trabajadores que fueron expuestos a niveles altos de Campos de radiación de Frecuencias Electromagnéticas generalmente tienen un auménto increíble de incidencias de cáncer  de varios tipos y entre mas fuerte la exposición, más rápido se le desarrolla la enfermedad. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Existen cantidad de estudios en países como Israel, Estados Unidos, Europa y Asia, que muestran los efectos en la salud de las personas, en Israel encontraron que vivir cerca de una torre celular aumentaba las incidencias de cáncer en un 400 %. .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En Costa Rica no tenemos ninguna regulación sobre estas torres y es urgente que se controle la instalación de estas y no se otorguen permisos en las municipalidades sin ningún tipo de conocimiento ni efectos que estas tienen en la salud de las personas.&lt;br /&gt;Generalmente estas compañías después de unos 20 años se cambian de país para hacer mas difícil la lluvia de demandas que empiezan a tener por los daños que causaron a la población expuesta.&lt;br

/&gt;Según se dice una empresa Taiwanesa en Puntarenas resguardada por hombres armados mafiosos tienen el negocio ilegal de aletas de tiburón.&lt;br /&gt;Desde aquí se inicia una red internacional de exportadores, donde pescan lo tiburones les cortan las aletas y los tiran al mar vivos, esta tortura es como cortarle las manos y los pies a una persona y dejarlo a la deriva para su muerte lenta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es un desperdicio del producto de los tiburones y un daño a la ecología y a la población de la fauna marítima.&lt;br /&gt;Adonde están las autoridades que deben regular esta actividad ? &lt;br /&gt;Como es posible que amenacen a un reportero y lo rocíen de gasolina y le digan que van a quemarlo vivo ???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta noticia sucedió hace varias semanas pero nadie se ha pronunciado al respecto, no han investigado a nadie.&lt;br /&gt;Estas aletas son exportadas al oriente sin ningún control y al aire libre a visa y paciencia de las personas que deben de estar controlando estas actividades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En días pasados también amenazaron a otro reportero Costarricense que investigaba el negocio ilegal.&lt;br /&gt;En algunos países la pesca, comercialización y exportación de estos animales con fines de solo usar las aletas es un delito y se castiga con prisión de uno a cuatro años.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La sopa de aleta de tiburón es una comida servida en china para honrar a los huéspedes especialmente durante al año nuevo, matrimonios  y celebraciones.&lt;br /&gt;Solo Hong Kong, importó 9,846 toneladas durante  el 2002, lo que implica millones de tiburones torturados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Han sobrevivido durante 150 millones de años y en poco tiempo ha pasado de ser depredador a ser casado,   China, donde se considera un potente afrodisíaco y su consumo aumenta en las personas de status social mas alto, por un kilo de aleta seca se llegan a pagar 500 euros mientras que el resto del cuerpo vale alrededor de cuatro euros el kilo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los tiburones son especialmente vulnerables a la sobrepesca y de lenta recuperación porque generalmente crecen lentamente, maduran tarde y producen pocas crías.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Según datos de la Organización Agricultura y Alimentos de Naciones Unidas (FAO), cada año se sacan del mar 100-200 millones de tiburones,&lt;br /&gt;Al ritmo que van pronto no tendremos tiburones en nuestros mares, lo que desequilibraría la cadena alimenticia natural del mar  pondría a esta especie en la lista de animales extintos.&lt;br /&gt;Por lo tanto urge una regulación especifica en esta materia y sobre todo que las autoridades la hagan respetar.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt; Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson.: &lt;br /&gt;http://attorneykearney.com

Es la pregunta que nos hacemos en Costa Rica cada vez que oimos las noticias, nuestro país todos los días se oye que mataron una persona camino a su trabajo, asaltaron a otra en un supermercado, a otros en plena vía pública a la luz del día y algunas hasta en su propia casa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hace pocos años la gente dejaba las puertas de sus casas abiertas, caminaba por cualquier calle del centro de las ciudades y pueblos con toda tranquilidad.&lt;br /&gt;Estas noticias que en el pasado escuchabamos ayer ahora casi ni son noticia porque los escuchamos todos los días.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Siempre hemos sido orgullosos de vivir en paz y tranquilidad y de ser un país que ofrece seguridad y amabilidad sobre todo con los extranjeros.&lt;br /&gt;Durante los últimos dos años han desaparecido o asesinado a por lo menos 10 turistas y cualquier cantidad de ciudadanos, estos casos siguen sin resolver, no hay detenidos y los crímenes han quedado impunes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esto nos causa una gran inseguridad ciudadana y una mala reputación, que a su vez nos disminuye al cantidad de turistas que están sintiendo que nuestro país esta perdiendo el encanto de ser la suiza centroamericana del ayer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es muy preocupante saber que las autoridades no dan abasto con la cantidad de delincuencia que va en aumento día a día, necesitamos de manera urgente mejorar la infraestructura de las cárceles, la agilización de los procesos penales y que hayan Jueces y Fiscales mas estrictos a la hora de impartir la justicia.&lt;br /&gt;Muchos todavía recuerdan cuando  las personas salían a caminar de día o de noche sin peligros, el uso de las rejas y verjas eran para adornar las casas mas que para seguridad, nadie se preocupaba por dejar las casas solas cuando iban a pasear y los robos de los carros solo se veían en la televisión. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las provincias tampoco están a salvo de la delincuencia, hace unos meses una amistad muy querida la asesinaron en su propia casa en Heredia y hasta el momento no se sabe nada sobre la investigación ni hay detenidos, &lt;br /&gt;Es bastante preocupante saber que hay uno o varios asesinos andando sueltos por nuestras calles sin temor a ser detenidos y sin nadie que los detenga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¡Debemos hacer algo ya! Dejarnos de habladas y actuar, para salvar nuestro país y que no caiga en desgracia, necesitamos poner mano dura para combatir la delincuencia, fortalecer nuestros principios y valores, practicar el amor al prójimo y enseñarle a los mas jóvenes el respeto a los demás.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson.&lt;br /&gt;http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com                    &lt;br

Mas de 100 científicos y Médicos de las escuelas de Salud Pública Universidades de Boston y Harvard han llamado las torres de celulares un peligro para la salud pública.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Una distancia prudente según estudios es de 400 metros lineales de cualquier torre, claro también va a depender de la potencia de corriente o del area electro magnético de la torre. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Lo increíble es que las organizaciones que financian los estudios sobre los efectos de las torres de celulares en muchos países son los mismos que verían sus intereses afectados si se prueba oficialmente la relación entre las torres celulares y el cancer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;attorneykearney@blogspot.com&lt;br /&gt;attorneykearney@yahoo.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621354666952169017-4309032674654290495?l=attorneykearney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/feeds/4309032674654290495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2010/11/torres-celulares-peligros-la-salud.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/4309032674654290495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/4309032674654290495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2010/11/torres-celulares-peligros-la-salud.html' title='Torres Celulares -

No solo han invadido nuestro territorio sino que también han causado estragos ambientales mediante el dragado del río San Juan.&lt;br /&gt;Con irrespeto y prepotencia pretendieron apoderarse de parte del territorio Costarricense financiados por el dictador Comunista Venezolano Hugo Chaves por medio del ALCA.&lt;br /&gt;Sin fundamento legal pretenden expandir el cancer del comunismo a nuestro territorio por medio de la violencia y la intimidación.&lt;br /&gt;Los tratados de 1858, el laudo Cleveland, el laudo Alexander los mapas publicados por ambos países y el conocimiento público hablan claramente sobre la demarcación de los limites, no hay campo para interpretación ni opinión sobre que parte es Costa Rica y que parte es Nicaragua en cuanto a los limites de la frontera.&lt;br /&gt;Pastora mismo dijo que eso era ¨Tierra de Nadie¨, en estos tiempos ninguna tierra es tierra de nadie, todo tiene dueño y la isla Calero es territorio Tico.&lt;br /&gt;Este conflicto tiene varios motivos, uno es hacer política en Nicaragua, sin embargo a Pastora no lo quieren en Nicaragua y ahora en Costa Rica tampoco, así es como pagan el agradecimiento y la ayuda que la ha brindado nuestro país.&lt;br /&gt;El otro personaje que esta detrás de todo esto es Hugo Chaves quien usó a uno de sus titeres el expresidente Manuel Zelaya, pero no pudo contra el ejercito de Honduras entonces ahora pretende meterse por el otro extremo de Nicaragua sabiendo que Costa Rica un pueblo de paz y sin ejercito, piensa que le sería mas fácil.&lt;br /&gt;Lo que no sabe es que Costa Rica es un pueblo valiente y viril que primero agota la vía diplomática antes de usar otros medios de defensa, pero que no crean los dirigentes comunistas que van a atropellarnos, como dijeron por ahí somos mansos pero no mensos a la hora de defender la patria tenemos a muchos países democráticos y libres que nos defendería en caso de ser necesario, además de muchos nacionales que estarían dispuestos a defender nuestra soberanía por los medios que sean necesarios.&lt;br /&gt;Este atropello a nuestro territorio es una de las primeras resultados del ALCA y de las mal llamadas bases de paz Venezolanas, se debe tener mucha vigilancia a estas organizaciones que solo traen perturbaciones a la paz que hemos disfrutado por años.&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Ortega otro títere de Venezuela sigue con la necedad y el irrespeto tanto a Costa rica como a los organismos internacionales, que pasaría si policía tica se metiera al Lago de Nicaragua o a la isla Solentiname ?&lt;br /&gt;El incremento de soldados Nicaragüenses en la zona solo muestra la actitud que tienen y el tipo de gobierno a la que acostumbran tener con su pueblo.&lt;br /&gt;Pobrecitos ¡ &lt;br /&gt;Finalizo con unas estrofas de nuestros himnos: ¡Nuestra raza la frente altanera…. nunca incline en la empresa tenaz;...de la Patria la noble bandera no dejemos plegarse jamás !

quedar mal al equipo que debe estar animando e indica que son malos perdedores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muchas personas han dejado de visitar los estadios en familia por este mismo problema.&lt;br /&gt;Los Estadios y equipos deben velar por su seguridad igualmente el gobierno debe exigir la presencia de una cantidad de seguridad segun el porcentaje de asistentes a los partidos, otro problema es la falta de aplicación de las leyes fuertes, esto no solo se ve con los problemas de las barras de futbol sino tambien con la delicuencia general, falta aplicar las leyes por lesiones  y daños hasta el maximo permitido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Algunos de las contravenciones deberían ser calificados como delitos, generalmente las contravenciones se ven como una palmada en la mano y casi nadie los toma como algo grave cuando en realidad algunos de estas contravenciones son delitos graves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La actitud de algunos policías tambien no ayuda porque piensan que de por si los van a dejar libres enun par de horas entonces no hacen nada, como dicen cada uno le tira la pelota al otro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como podemos arregalr este grave problema ? &lt;br /&gt;Primero: Los Jueces deben de ser menos palanganas y condenar a estos delincuentes con mano dura ! &lt;br /&gt;Segundo : Los Legisladores deben de recalificar las contravenciones y trasladarlas a la sección de delitos con penas mas fuertes.&lt;br /&gt;Tercero: Los que dirigen y promueven las barras deben de cambiar de mentalidad y buscar que estas barras sean positivas .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

!&lt;br /&gt;Los estudiantes protestan sin saber porque, los fuerza pública y el OIJ entraron siguiendo a un guarda de seguridad corrupto que estaba piciendo sobornos a un chofer de bus de la UCR.&lt;br /&gt;Que verguenza la UCR ahora alberga maliantes y promociona la corrupción.&lt;br /&gt;En lugar de prestarle ayuda a los policias se pusieron a negarle la entrada y a insultar a lo policías, estaban albergando un maliante en las instalaciones de la UCR.&lt;br /&gt;Eso jamas se puede permitir, luego preguntan porque hay tanta corrupción en Costa Rica, debería de darles verguenza esas actitudes tanto al personal de la Universidad como a los estudiantes de pertenecer a esa institución decaída.&lt;br /&gt;Deberían de enseñarles un poco de educación en esa universidad.&lt;br

Circulo de Periodistas Deportivos y Locutores de Costa Rica, el cual es el ente que dio origen al actual Colegio de Periodistas.&lt;br /&gt;La actual Junta Directiva del Circulo esta conformada por el Presidente Enrique Salas Quesada, Vicepresidente : Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson, Secretaria: Zaìda Perez Sanchez, Tesorero: William Mora Alfaro, Vocal: Geovanny Hernandez Ramirez. &lt;br /&gt;Esta asamblea general tuvo en agenda el informe de la Junta Directiva y el nombramiento de puestos de Directiva que estaban vacantes por renuncia de un directivo, los otros dos puestos estaban vacantes por morosidad y por ausencias injustificadas continuas.&lt;br /&gt;La actual directiva termina su período a fin de este año, actualmente están poniendo orden y actualizando los proyectos, acordando con patrocinadores y planeando las premiaciones anuales el cual se espera que sea un éxito.&lt;br /&gt;El punto negro de la asamblea fue cuando un grupo de miembros morosos instigados por Oscar Montero y Armando Calderón trató de ingresar a la fuerza causando daños menores en el Colegio de Periodistas, lanzando insultos e irrespetando el reglamento del Circulo. &lt;br /&gt;El Circulo y su Directiva aprovecha este momento para pedir disculpas al Colegio de Periodistas por el irrespeto que este pequeño grupo de asociados causó.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

estuvo bastante parejo entre los cuatro candidatos principales, esto porque cada uno en su oportunidad tuvieron buenos momentos.&lt;br /&gt;Se noto que los otros tres candidatos usaron a Otto Guevara de blanco de sus ataques ya que cada uno de ellos se concentraron en el candidato del Movimiento Libertario, lo que demuestra una clara aceptación entre todos que la brecha entre los primeros dos lugares se acorta cada día mas.&lt;br /&gt;Luis Fishman del Partido Unidad Social Cristiano (PUSC)por su parte uso una estrategia de acercamiento con Otton Solis del Partido Acción Ciudadana(PAC)sin embargo la distancia entre el segundo y tercer puesto es bastante y los dos candidatos que tienen la unica posibilidad de quedar electos en estas elecciones son Laura Chinchilla de Liberación Nacional(PLN) y Otto Guevara del Movimiento Libertario.&lt;br /&gt;Una siga apostando a la continuidad en el gobierno y el otro al cambio.&lt;br /&gt;A pocos días de las elecciones, pronto se sabrá si tenemos un cambio o no, el pueblo decidirá.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Presidential debate today on channel 6 was very close among all four of the main candidates, because each one had certain high points this time.&lt;br /&gt;Three of the candidates used Otto Guevara as their target in their attacks, they concentrateted on the candidate of the Libertarian Movement( ML), this shows us a clear aceptance that the space among the first and second place of these elections is getting narrower by the day.&lt;br /&gt;Luis Fishman of the United Social Christian Party (PUSC)used a strategy of appearing a closeness with Otton Solis of the Citizens Acción Party (PAC)however there is a significant distance among the second and third place candidates and the only ones with a true chance of winning the elections this year are Laura Chinchilla or the Partido de Liberación Nacional (PLN) and Otto Guevara of the Libertarian MovementParty (ML) of which one bets on the continuity of the actual government and the other promotes a change.&lt;br /&gt;In a few days we will know if we will have a change or not, the people of Costa Rica will decide.&lt;div

Rica anoche entre los primeros tres lugares Laura Chinchilla, Otto Guevara y Otton Solis fue muy esperado, estuvo bastante activo, entre los tres candidatos se destaco Otto Guevara haciendo reclamos y pidiendo respuestas a Laura Chinchilla sobre el gobierno actual y sobre sus actuaciones como diputada y ministra.&lt;br /&gt;Laura Chinchilla por su parte se preocupó mas por defender al gobierno y a ella misma de sus actuaciones, dijo que necesitaba otros cuatro años para mejorar el trabajo que ha estado haciendo su partido.&lt;br /&gt;Otton Solis por su parte tuvo una participacion menos activa aunque habló directamente acerca de los fallos del actual gobierno y ataco tambien a Chinchilla en varais actuaciones anteriores, tambien ataco a Otto pero con menos enfasis.&lt;br /&gt;El dabate fue una sintesis de los reclamos que tienen muchos costarricenses con el gobierno, se noto a una Laura un poco nerviosa al principio, pero esos nervious fueron desapareciendo con el tiempo, Otto Guevara habló bastante claro y preciso en sus reclamos y Otton Solis tambien habló muy articulado.&lt;br /&gt;En algunos momentos tambien hubo algunos comentarios venenosos entre los tres candidatos cuando Otto Guevara le contestó a Otton diciendole que no era estudioso cuando este ultimo le reclamaba algunos rumores acerca del pensamiento libertario y su plan de gobierno.&lt;br /&gt;En algun momento Otton Solis trato de actuar como mediador y moderador, Laura por su parte actuó como la candidata que destaco algunos programas de gobierno y Guevara actuó mas como denunciante diciendo que lo que no hicieron en cuatro años no lo van a hacer ahora.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, today rendered its Judgment in the case concerning the Dispute regarding Navigational and Related Rights (Costa Rica v. Nicaragua).&lt;br /&gt;In its Judgment, which is final, binding and without appeal, the Court,&lt;br /&gt;(1) As regards Costa Rica’s navigational rights on the San Juan river under the 1858 Treaty,in that part where navigation is common,&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that Costa Rica has the right of free navigation on the San Juan river for purposes of commerce;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that the right of navigation for purposes of commerce enjoyed by&lt;br /&gt;Costa Rica includes the transport of passengers;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that the right of navigation for purposes of commerce enjoyed by&lt;br /&gt;Costa Rica includes the transport of tourists;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds by nine votes to five that persons travelling on the San Juan river on board Costa Rican vessels exercising Costa Rica’s right of free navigation are not required to obtain Nicaraguan visas;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that persons travelling on the San Juan river on board Costa Rican vessels exercising Costa Rica’s right of free navigation are not required to purchase Nicaraguan tourist cards;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds by thirteen votes to one that the inhabitants of the Costa Rican bank of the San Juan river have the right to navigate on the river between the riparian communities for the purposes of the essential needs of everyday life which require expeditious transportation;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds by twelve votes to two that Costa Rica has the right of navigation on the San Juan river with official vessels used solely, in specific situations, to provide essential services for the inhabitants of the riparian areas where expeditious transportation is a condition for meeting the inhabitants’ requirements;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that Costa Rica does not have the right of navigation on the San Juan river with vessels carrying out police functions;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that Costa Rica does not have the right of navigation on the San Juan river for the purposes of the exchange of personnel of the police border posts along the right bank of&lt;br /&gt;the river and of the re-supply of these posts, with official equipment, including service arms and ammunition; As regards Nicaragua’s right to regulate navigation on the San Juan river, in that part where navigation is common,&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that Nicaragua has the right to require Costa Rican vessels and their passengers to stop at the first and last Nicaraguan post on their route along the San Juan river;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that Nicaragua has the right to require persons travelling on the San Juan river to carry a passport or an identity document;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that Nicaragua has the right to issue departure clearance certificates to Costa Rican vessels exercising Costa Rica’s right of free navigation but does not have the right to request the payment of a charge for the issuance of such certificates;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that Nicaragua has the right to impose timetables for navigation on vessels navigating on the San Juan river;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that Nicaragua has the right to require Costa Rican vessels fitted with masts or turrets to display the Nicaraguan flag;&lt;br /&gt;(3) As regards subsistence fishing,&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds by thirteen votes to one that fishing by the inhabitants of the Costa Rican bank of the San Juan river for subsistence purposes from that bank is to be respected by Nicaragua as a customary right;&lt;br /&gt;(4) As regards Nicaragua’s compliance with its international obligations under the&lt;br /&gt;1858 Treaty, &lt;br /&gt;Finds by nine votes to five that Nicaragua is not acting in accordance with its obligations under&lt;br /&gt;the 1858 Treaty when it requires persons travelling on the San Juan river on board Costa Rican vessels exercising Costa Rica’s right of free navigation to obtain Nicaraguan visas;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that Nicaragua is not acting in accordance with its obligations under the 1858 Treaty when it requires persons travelling on the San Juan river on board Costa Rican vessels exercising Costa Rica’s right of free navigation to purchase Nicaraguan tourist cards;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Finds unanimously that Nicaragua is not acting in accordance with its obligations under the 1858 Treaty when it requires the operators of vessels exercising Costa Rica’s right of free navigation to pay charges for departure clearance certificates;&lt;br /&gt;⎯ Rejects unanimously all other submissions presented by Costa Rica and Nicaragua.&lt;br /&gt;- 3 -&lt;br /&gt;Reasoning of the Court&lt;br /&gt;The Court recalls that the dispute between Costa Rica and Nicaragua concerns the&lt;br /&gt;navigational and related rights of Costa Rica on the section of the San Juan river which runs from a point three English miles below Castillo Viejo to the mouth of the river at the Caribbean Sea. The&lt;br /&gt;Court points out that it is not contested that the section of the river thus defined belongs to&lt;br /&gt;Nicaragua, since the border lies on the Costa Rican bank, with Costa Rica possessing a right of free navigation. However, the Parties differ both as to the legal basis of that right and, above all, as to&lt;br /&gt;its precise extent.&lt;br /&gt;1. The extent of Costa Rica’s right of free navigation on the San Juan river&lt;br /&gt;(a) The meaning and scope of the expression “libre navegación . . . con objetos de comercio”&lt;br /&gt;The Court considers that the 1858 Treaty of Limits between Costa Rica and Nicaragua&lt;br /&gt;completely defines the rules applicable to the section of the San Juan river that is in dispute in respect of navigation. It observes that Article VI of the Treaty in particular grants Costa Rica, on&lt;br /&gt;the section of the river which follows the border between the two States, a perpetual right of free navigation “con objetos de comercio”. It notes that the Parties are in deep disagreement as to the&lt;br /&gt;meaning of that phrase.&lt;br /&gt;The Court has first to determine whether the phrase “con objetos de” means “for the&lt;br /&gt;purposes of” ⎯ as Costa Rica contends ⎯ or “with articles of” ⎯ as Nicaragua contends. The Court is of the view that the interpretation advocated by Nicaragua cannot be upheld. The main&lt;br /&gt;reason for this is that ascribing the meaning “with goods” or “with articles” to the phrase “con objetos” results in rendering meaningless the entire sentence in which the phrase appears. The&lt;br /&gt;Court is of the view, by contrast, that Costa Rica’s interpretation of the words “con objetos” allows the entire sentence to be given coherent meaning. It finds that the expression “con objetos de&lt;br /&gt;comercio” means “for the purposes of commerce”.&lt;br /&gt;The Court then has to determine the meaning to be ascribed to the word “commerce” in the context of Article VI of the Treaty, so that the exact extent of the right of free navigation can be defined. The Court notes, first, that the term “comercio” is a generic term, referring to a class of activity. Second, it points out that the Treaty was entered into for an unlimited duration; from the outset it was intended to create a legal régime characterized by its perpetuity. The Court infers&lt;br /&gt;from this that the term “comercio” must be understood to have the meaning it bears on each occasion on which the Treaty is to be applied, and not necessarily its original meaning. The Court accordingly finds that the right of free navigation applies to the transport of persons as well as the&lt;br /&gt;transport of goods, as the activity of transporting persons can be commercial in nature nowadays, if a price (other than a token price) is paid to the carrier by the passengers or on their behalf.&lt;br /&gt;(b) The activities covered by Costa Rica’s right of free navigation&lt;br /&gt;Two types of private navigation are covered by the right of free navigation pursuant to Article VI of the 1858 Treaty: the navigation of vessels carrying goods intended for commercial transactions and that of vessels carrying passengers who pay a price other than a token price (or for&lt;br /&gt;whom a price is paid) in exchange for the service thus provided.&lt;br /&gt;The navigation of vessels belonging to the inhabitants of villages on the Costa Rican bank of the river in order to meet the basic requirements of everyday life, such as taking children to school&lt;br /&gt;or in order to give or receive medical treatment, is also protected by the right of free navigation, not by Article VI, but by other provisions of the 1858 Treaty.&lt;br /&gt;- 4 -&lt;br /&gt;The navigation of official vessels, vessels which are the property of the Republic of Costa Rica, is not covered by the right of free navigation pursuant to Article VI of the 1858 Treaty unless it is undertaken for the “purposes of commerce”. The Court is of the opinion that, as a general rule,&lt;br /&gt;the navigation of Costa Rican vessels for the purposes of public order activities and public services with no object of financial gain, in particular police vessels, lies outside the scope of Article VI of&lt;br /&gt;the 1858 Treaty. Nonetheless, the Court considers that the navigation of Costa Rican official vessels used solely for the purpose of providing the population living on the river bank with what it&lt;br /&gt;needs in order to meet the necessities of daily life is covered by the right of navigation such as it can be inferred from the provisions of the 1858 Treaty as a whole.&lt;br /&gt;2. Nicaragua’s power of regulation of navigation&lt;br /&gt;(a) General observations The Court notes that Nicaragua has the power to regulate navigation on the section of the San Juan river on which Costa Rica enjoys a right of free navigation. In its view that power is not unlimited. Indeed, a regulation is to have the following characteristics: it must only subject the&lt;br /&gt;activity to certain rules without rendering impossible or substantially impeding the exercise of the right of free navigation; it must be consistent with the terms of the Treaty; it must have a legitimate purpose; it must not be discriminatory; and it must not be unreasonable. Moreover, the Court is of the opinion that Nicaragua is under an obligation to notify Costa Rica of the regulations&lt;br /&gt;which it makes regarding the navigational régime on the San Juan river. That obligation does not however extend to notice or consultation prior to the adoption by Nicaragua of such regulations.&lt;br /&gt;(b) The legality of the specific Nicaraguan measures challenged by Costa Rica&lt;br /&gt;(i) Requirement to stop and identification: the Court is of the opinion that Nicaragua, as sovereign, has the right to know the identity of those entering its territory and also to know that they have left. The power to require the production of a passport or identity document of some kind is a legitimate part of the exercise of such a power. Nicaragua also has related responsibilities in respect of law enforcement and environmentalprotection. To that extent, the Nicaraguan requirement that vessels stop on entering the river and leaving it and that they be subject to search is lawful. The Court cannot,&lt;br /&gt;however, see any legal justification for a general requirement that vessels continuing&lt;br /&gt;along the San Juan river, for example from the San Carlos river to the Colorado river, stop at any intermediate point.&lt;br /&gt;(ii) Departure clearance certificates: the Court considers that the requirement on vessels navigating on the river to obtain departure clearance certificates, for legitimate reasons of navigational safety, environmental protection and criminal law enforcement, does not appear to have imposed any significant impediment on the exercise of Costa Rica’s&lt;br /&gt;freedom of navigation.&lt;br /&gt;(iii) Visas and tourist cards: the Court recalls that the power of a State to issue or refuse a visa entails discretion. However in the present case Nicaragua may not impose a visa requirement on those persons who may benefit from Costa Rica’s right of free navigation.&lt;br /&gt;In these circumstances, the Court finds that the imposition of a visa requirement is a&lt;br /&gt;breach of the right pursuant to Article VI of the Treaty. The Court adds that Nicaragua is entitled to refuse entry to the river to a particular person for reasons of law enforcement and environmental protection. In such circumstances, it is not a breach of the right of free navigation. As for the requirement by Nicaragua that tourist cards be obtained, the Court observes that this does not appear to be intended to facilitate Nicaragua’s control over entry into the San Juan river. It notes that in the course of the proceedings Nicaragua&lt;br /&gt;referred to no legitimate purpose as justification for imposing this requirement. The Court consequently finds that the requirement that passengers wishing to travel on Costa Rican vessels which are exercising Costa Rica’s freedom of navigation on the river must first purchase tourist cards is inconsistent with that right to freedom of navigation. (iv) Charges: as for the claim by Costa Rica concerning the payment of charges for the issuance of departure clearance certificates, the Court finds that, while Nicaragua has the right to inspect vessels on the San Juan river for safety, environmental and law enforcement reasons, those measures do not include the provision of any service to boat&lt;br /&gt;operators. The Court considers that, in respect of Costa Rican vessels exercising freedom of navigation on the river, the payment must thus be seen as unlawful.&lt;br /&gt;(v) Timetabling: the Court recalls that the exercise of a power to regulate may legitimately include placing limits on the activity in question. The limited evidence before the Court does not demonstrate any extensive use of the river for night time navigation. The Court thus infers that the interference with Costa Rica’s freedom to navigate caused by the&lt;br /&gt;prohibition of night time navigation imposed by Nicaragua is limited and therefore does not amount to an unlawful impediment to that freedom, particularly when the purposes of the regulation are considered.&lt;br /&gt;(vi) Flags: the Court considers that Nicaragua, which has sovereignty over the San Juan river, may, in the exercise of its sovereign powers, require Costa Rican vessels fitted with masts or turrets navigating on the river to fly its flag. This requirement cannot in any respect be&lt;br /&gt;considered an impediment to the exercise of the freedom of navigation of Costa Rican&lt;br /&gt;vessels under the 1858 Treaty.&lt;br /&gt;(vii) Conclusion: the Court concludes that it follows from the above that Nicaragua has exercised its powers of regulation regarding the matters discussed under points (i), (ii), (v)&lt;br /&gt;and (vi) above in conformity with the 1858 Treaty; but that it is not acting in conformity with the obligations under the 1858 Treaty when it implements measures requiring visas and tourist cards and the payment of charges in respect of vessels, boat operators and their passengers exercising the freedom of navigation.&lt;br /&gt;3. Subsistence fishing For the Court, the failure of Nicaragua to deny the existence of a right arising from the practice of subsistence fishing, which had continued undisturbed and unquestioned over a very long period, is particularly significant. The Court accordingly concludes that Costa Rica has a&lt;br /&gt;customary right which Nicaragua is obliged to respect with regard to the inhabitants of the Costa Rican bank of the San Juan river who engage in fishing for subsistence purposes from that bank.&lt;br /&gt;4. The claims made by the Parties in their final submissions&lt;br /&gt;The Court declares in particular that it will uphold the Parties’ claims in the operative part of the Judgment to the extent that they correspond to the preceding reasoning and will dismiss the others.&lt;br /&gt;- 6 -&lt;br /&gt;Composition of the Court&lt;br /&gt;The Court was composed as follows: President Owada; Judges Shi, Koroma,&lt;br /&gt;Al-Khasawneh, Buergenthal, Abraham, Keith, Sepúlveda-Amor, Bennouna, Skotnikov,&lt;br /&gt;Cançado Trindade, Yusuf, Greenwood; Judge ad hoc Guillaume; Registrar Couvreur.&lt;br /&gt;Judges Sepúlveda-Amor and Skotnikov append separate opinions to the Judgment of the&lt;br /&gt;Court; Judge ad hoc Guillaume appends a declaration to the Judgment of the Court.&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;A summary of the Judgment appears in the document “Summary No. 2009/4”.

type='text'>4th of July annual picnic</title><content type='html'>SOS, 4th of July picnic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past Independance day picnic was a morning to reunite american expats in Costa Rica, to celebrate the 233rd year of of freedom.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Like every year many arrive to the national beer company to meet with friends they haven´t seen in a while, have a few hotdogs and beers for breakfast, they take the kids to have free ice cream and pop corn and enjoy the games and competitions.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;However in recent years it seems that it has not changed for the better, many people were complaining this past 4th of July, stating that in such a short period of time, much of it was being used for talking too much on stage, mainly about data which not many were interested in knowing, most of us agree that the ceremony and the protocol is important and must be kept, but please keep it to a minimum.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;To make things worse, people had to wait for hotdogs and beer for an hour during the time all this was happening, the only reason it seems, is that it is a way to save on expenses, although I believe a lot of items are donated.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Its been a long time since my first 4th of July picnic in 1970, I remember shaking hands with President Pepe Figueres at the american ambassadors house, the traditional oxcart ride for kids and adults around the ground that has been forgotten, the famous blueberry pie eating contest which was a favorite and has not been done in years, there is no cotton candy and no T shirts, free or for sale, except for some of the volunteers and no more free entrance.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Another big issue many can´t understand is how can a celebration be exclusively for american citizens and not their relatives or close friends that are acompanying them.&lt;br /&gt;Do the organizers expect for us to enjoy a party alone or leave our children, wife, girlfriend or person who is with us at the entrance gate ? &lt;br /&gt;This was never a problem until two years ago and makes no sense, it seems that instead of increasing the attendance they are trying to diminish it and this year it was very obvious, the attendance was a fraction of what it was in past years. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Three years ago the the picnic was canceled apparently because of lack of organization and help and according to some comments heard through the grape vine, the organizers were too tired to deal with it. &lt;br /&gt;It seems they would ask for help with this large task of organizing a traditional celebration, I personally have offered to contribute in the board of directors and volunteering during several years but have had no response.&lt;br /&gt;

tops happiness, 'green living' poll&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;SAN JOSE (AFP) - Costa Rica is the happiest place on earth, and one of the most environmentally friendly, according to a new survey by a British non-governmental group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The New Economics Foundation looked at 143 countries that are home to 99 percent of the world's population and devised an equation that weighed life expectancy and people's happiness against their environmental impact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By that formula, Costa Rica is the happiest, greenest country in the world, just ahead of the Dominican Republic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Latin American countries did well in the survey, occupying nine of the top 10 spots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Australia scored third place, but other major Western nations did poorly, with Britain coming in at 74th place and the United States at 114th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The New Economics Foundation's measurements found Costa Ricans have a life expectancy of 78.5 years, and 85 percent of the country's residents say they are happy and satisfied with their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those figures, taken along with the fact that Costa Rica has a small "ecological footprint," combined to push the small nation to the top of the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 2006 New Economics Foundation study designated Vanuatu the world's happiest nation, with Costa Rica at second place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sociologist Andrea Fonseca said Costa Rica gives its citizens the "tools" to be happy, but cautioned that happiness cannot be calculated just by looking at life expectancy and environmental practices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She added that the country's rise to the top of the Happy Planet Index "has a lot to do with social imagination."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Costa Rica has a peaceful reputation because it does not have an army, and is also known for its protected ecological zones and national slogan "pure life," she said.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621354666952169017-7011870635273102485?l=attorneykearney.blogspot.com'

Manuel Zelaya of Honduras was kicked out of his country and brought to Costa Rica moments after trying to imitate the sneaky habits of some of his collegues from Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador.&lt;br /&gt;He is trying to change the nations constitution to Benefit himself by allowing himself to be reelected indefintely just like President Chaves did with his country.&lt;br /&gt;The people from Honduras who are well known for defending their ideals, their democracy and their freedom did not allow their president to become a dictador.&lt;br /&gt;The national army immediatly was able to recognize the worries of their citizens and act accordingly without delays, the military did good in removing the President in his pijamas and kicking him out of the country before it was too late.&lt;br /&gt;It is clear that Honduras will not tolerate wanna be dictators, some leaders start out well and then fall in love with power and their political job and don´t want to let go, trying to make their will more important than the will of the people who elected them.  &lt;br /&gt;The Honduran army is defending their freedom, their constitution and won´t allow anyone to break there laws, even if it´s the president who thinks he is above the law.&lt;br /&gt;Too bad the Venezuelan army doesn´t have the balls that the Honduran army has.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351917101758064642" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had the opportunity to meet Miachael Jackson in person on several occasions, one of those occasions was the night of the Oscar awards, after the ceremony, we were at Liza Minnelis father s´ house at a party which I had gone to along with some friends.&lt;br /&gt;We took some photos there and had a chance to talk to Michael for a while, afterwards we said good bye and left, later on that same night we were at another celebrity event and Michael went by in his red limo.&lt;br /&gt;We decided to follow him, my mopther was acomanying me that evening, we arrived to another house in the Hollywood Hills, I got closer to him and when he saw that it was the same Photographer that he had met earlier he relaxed a bit.&lt;br /&gt;Liza was with him and the Chofer/body guard..... Michael entered the hosue and Liza waited outside in the car, she invited me to sit inside while he came out.&lt;br /&gt;About 10 minutes later, he came out and and we cahtted a little more, I told him that I would like a few autographs, one for my Mom and he happily signed several fotos, a couple of Thriller Albums.   &lt;br /&gt;After chatting some more he took off his dark shades and was going to let me have them, I thanked him but told him that I would prefer the glove he was wearing, which was his trade mark. H e smiled and thought about it for a second and proceded to take his glove off and give it to me.&lt;br /&gt;We left very happy and excited, his white glovehas a seal stamped on it which was the invitation used for the famous ¨Thriller¨ party.&lt;br /&gt;When we arrived back to Spago, the famous celebrity restaurant in Beverly Hills, we told all the other paparazzis about our adventure and meeting with Michael Jackson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson.&lt;br /&gt;(506)8-841-0007&lt;br /&gt;(506)2-232-1014&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621354666952169017-5702241397826198007?l=attorneykearney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/feeds/5702241397826198007/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2009/06/meeting-michael-jackson.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/5702241397826198007'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/5702241397826198007'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2009/06/meeting-michael-jackson.html' title='Meeting Michael Jackson'/><author><name>AttorneyKearney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05321003499787972052</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/STUEyjf-NsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0B_LteFmSlM/S220/Gregory+in+black.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/SkXUQWJWGXI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/BRCaWBWv1t8/s72-c/Michael+JAackson+y+Elizabeth+Taylor,American+Music+Awards+1984.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621354666952169017.post-2815968781466811803</id><published>2009-06-24T23:18:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-27T08:09:24.726-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='artistas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hollywood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='california'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beverly'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hills'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Jackson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='costa rica'/><title type='text'>Conociendo a Michael Jackson</title><content type='html'>Tuve la oportunidad de conocer a Michael Jackson en persona en varias ocasiones.una de esas ocasiones fue la noche de los premios Oscar, despues de la ceremonia estuvo en la casa de una actriz famosa Liza Minneli en una fiesta donde yo tambien asistí con otras amistades.&lt;br /&gt;Ahi nos tomamos unas fotos con el y conversamos un rato, luego nos despedimos.Mas tarde en la noche estabamos en otra fiesta de los artistas y pasó cerca de nosotros en una limosina roja. &lt;br /&gt;Nos pusimos atras a seguirlo mi mama que me acompaño esa noche y llegamos a otra casa en Beverly Hills, yo me le acerque de nuevo y cuando vió que era el mismo Fotógrafo se tranquilizó un poco, Liza tambien estaba con el y el guarda espaldas/chofer.... Ahi el entro a la casa y ella me invitó a sentarme en la limosina con ella mientras el salía.Como a los 10 minutos cuando el salió le dije que me había faltado unos autografos para mi mama y me firmó unas fotos y dos albumes Thriller.&lt;br /&gt;Despues de conversar otro ratito se quitó los anteojos oscuros y me los iba a regalar, yo le agradecí mucho pero le dije que mejor me regalará el guante que llevaba puesto que era su tradicional insignia.Se sonrió y pensó un momento y luego se lo quitó y me lo regaló.&lt;br /&gt;Salimos muy contentos, el guante blanco tiene un sello que era la

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='theft'/><title type='text'>Comments about San José and customs</title><content type='html'>San José, the capital of Costa Rica also shares the name with the central province of the country.&lt;br /&gt;I sometimes hear comments from expats, other blogs and websites as well as visitors talking about San José, distorting or misinterpreting the city.&lt;br /&gt;San José is a small city compared to cities in the USA or Canada, like most of those cities you will also see that the crime rate increases, it is not as clean, has smog from cars and factories and has a faster pace in lifestyle than most other places outside of the capital.&lt;br /&gt;You will see some narrow streets, more cars and people than in Heredia, Alajuela, Puntarenas, Santa Cruz, Liberia or Golfito.&lt;br /&gt;Costa Rica values tradition very much and although there is a lot of American and European influence, it still keeps some customs which are a mixture of the influence of it´s roots, it´s inhabitants and it´s traditions, which by the way are very unique and different than other latin american countries.&lt;br /&gt;Their is a party attitude among the general population specially among people in San José, many young adults, older adults, university students are always going out dancing, drinking beer, whiskey or wine, singing karaoke, eating bocas /finger foods), this goes on all week long, mondays included.&lt;br /&gt;Bull fights: Costarrican Bull fights are similar to the Mexican and Spanish bull fights where a bull is let loose inside a closed ring, the difference is that in Costa Rica the bull is not hurt or killed, approximately 50-100 improvised bull fighters run, jump and tease the bull, until the animal starts chasing someone and many times catches them and throws them in the air, some are seriously hurt but most are just seriously scared after a close call, on rare occasions the bulls kills someone.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes to make the bull fights more exciting and as an incentive for the bull fighters, they put a bill between the bulls horns.&lt;br /&gt;San José has many very modern malls, theaters, bars, fancy restaurants, museums, live music, movie theatres, parks, stores, internet cafes, hotels, art shows etc.&lt;br /&gt;One thing you will notice all over the country and not just in San José are the houses with bars on the windows, this is basically for two reasons, 1- decorative purposes and 2- security.&lt;br /&gt;It has been a tradition for many years even before the security issues that have risen in the past 10- 15 years or so started, most people when buying a new house choose what type of iron decorations they will have made for their windows and gates, through the years these bars are now used for security also since in recent years there have been break ins to homes and in the last 5 - 10 years or so there have also been some home assaults in some areas.&lt;br /&gt;Luckily this is not even close to being near as dangerous or as common as it is in most cities in the USA, Canada, Europe.&lt;br /&gt;Friendliness is a trait that most costarricans have in San José as well as every other corner of the country, people are friendly and like to make foreigners feel at home, it is a place where you can make friends very easily, however also beware that there are also people who prey on innocent people, natives and foreigners who are cons or people of bad reputation, use common sense and precaution at all times no matter who you are with or where in the world you are located when meeting someone for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;Avoid going to dark allies, streets, whore houses, bars with prostitutes and the red light zone, if you are looking for illegal activities you will most likely find trouble more soner than later, although prostitution among adults is not legal it isn´t illegal either, it´s more or less tolerated in certain areas.&lt;br /&gt;Central avenue is the main street that runs from east to west and divides the downtown area, it begins at the bottome of the hill below the Legislative Assembly (Congress) known as Cuesta de Moras and goes a few miles and turns into Paseo Colon until it gets to La Sabana Park where the statue of Leon Cortes is located.&lt;br /&gt;Directions in Costa Rica not just San José are given by landmarks, even though the streets and avenues have been numbered for many years, nobody uses them to give directions, the only exceptions are central avenue and second avenue.&lt;br /&gt;Avenues south of central avenue are even numbers, north of central avenue are odd numers, the streets are also divided the same way with a central street, however not many people are sure of which street that actually is .&lt;br /&gt;A common address in San José as well as anywhere else in the country is ¨Del Teatro Nacional 100 varas o metros al este y 25 varas o metros al norte, casa de verjas blancas ¨, translation is ¨From the National Theatre 100 meters(1 block) east and a quarter of a block north, house with white bars¨.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

from the red cross, over 500 families are now homeless and awaiting for help while they spend the days and nights in shelters.&lt;br /&gt;Over 20 people are missing and have not been found yet.&lt;br /&gt;One of the most difficult rescues was the one done by the Colombian rescue squad who showed their repelling skills while recovering the body of a Dos Pinos (milk company) employee who was in his car trapped in the middle of a cliff completely buried except for a hand that was showeing outside of the vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;Police, volunteers and rescue experts continue to search for missing residents, 26 kilometers of roads are completely destroyed and the government is analizing whether to reconstruct the roads or build a different road from Vara Blanca to San Miguel of Sarapiqui.&lt;br /&gt;Food and clothing has been donated by several charity groups and private citizens such as the Lions Club of Costa Rica, Channel 7 news, Red Cross, the government of the USA donated $50,000 and the government of Colombia $100,000.&lt;br /&gt;Loses from the earthquake amount to over US 100 million dollars.&lt;br /&gt;9 counties hve been declared in a state of emergency, they are Alajuela, Grecia, Poas, Alfaro Ruiz, Valverde Vega, Heredia, Barva, Santa Barbara and Sarapiquí.&lt;br /&gt;The area where the most disaster occured was in Cinchona a small town which virtually dissapeared, Vara Blanca, Poas, Poasito, Fraijanes as well as the waterfalls in that area.&lt;br /&gt;The families in the shelters are needing medicine supplies, underwer, personal hygene items such as toothpste, soap, toothbrushes, tapons, diapers, shampoo, medicines, batteries, dogfood, and veterinary supplies etc&lt;br /&gt;Many strong aftershocks are still being felt, &lt;strong&gt;the last aftershock was about 30 seconds ago, my guess is that it is a 4.8 on the richter scale.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Arenal&lt;/span&gt; volcano is approximately 4,000 years old and grew to 1,633 meters/ 5,372 feet in height, the area around it is a national park with a view point for tourists to see the lava flow day or night.&lt;br /&gt;A few small fumaroles opened in it´s summit in 1938, then again in 1958 and 1960.&lt;br /&gt;In 1967 the water temperature of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Río&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Tabacón&lt;/span&gt; started rising, then in 1968, the volcano became active again and started blowing ashes that covered the capital of San &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;José&lt;/span&gt;, 78 people died from nearby towns of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Tabacón&lt;/span&gt; and Pueblo &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Nuevo&lt;/span&gt;, people had to carry their umbrellas to cover themselves from falling ashes, during this time President John F.Kennedy was visiting.&lt;br /&gt;In the national park there are several marked trails that you can hike along part of the volcano to get a closer view.&lt;br /&gt;One of the main attractions of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Volcan&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Arenal&lt;/span&gt; are the hot water springs that flow from the top or the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Arenal&lt;/span&gt; volcano, in recent years many hotels and pools have sprung up between the volcano and the town of La &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Fortuna&lt;/span&gt;, such as &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Arenal&lt;/span&gt; Springs, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Baldí&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Tabacón&lt;/span&gt;, there is also a small public area next to the road where people take a dip day or night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Lic&lt;/span&gt;.Gregory Kearney Lawson.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is a common question that I have heard many times among people relocating to Costa Rica.&lt;br /&gt;When someone has &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;decided&lt;/span&gt; to move to another country, there wish is to be a homeowner and not rent for the rest of their lives, we all know the advantages of being a home owner, although now in some places in the USA it is better to be renting because of tax issues, however this is not a problem in Costa Rica since property taxes are usually very low.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people have been saying that it is better to rent for a period of time than to buy right away, this has several implications, we believe that a person relocating to Costa Rica has already decided to live here because they have visited the country on vacation and loved it &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;enough&lt;/span&gt; to live here at least part time, so taking this in consideration, buying would be the more intelligent thing to do since real estate prices in Costa Rica are always going up and have never gone down in the past, yes they must go down at some point, but most likely not in the near future, since&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Costa Rica is continually becoming more popular all the time, thereby increasing the demand of residential homes, the recent approval of the Free Trade Agreement with the USA will only add more demand to commercial and industrial property as well as residential homes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have seen several cases of people renting first and then deciding to buy the house that was being rented at a price quoted originally only to find out that a few months later the owner had already raised the selling price almost double, why did this happen, well the explanation is that the price was very low to begin and when she found out what other homes were going for she raised the price and the demand had also increased, the owner decided to move and find another deal, so far after about five years and several other opportunities the renter is still renting and probably will continue to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prices for real estate in Costa Rica vary a lot from as low as $50,000 to as high as a couple million dollars, depending on the area and the size.&lt;br /&gt;There is always something available for any budget, cooler climates, warmer climates and everything in between.&lt;br /&gt;A good idea when buying a house in Costa Rica and anywhere else for that matter is to know what your budget is for buying a property, what size land, house and specifications you absolutely need, what type of neighborhood and area, do you prefer near the beach ? in the mountains ? in the city or outskirts ?&lt;br /&gt;By narrowing down your requirements you will save a lot of time and effort in choosing a house.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

visit Costa Rica.&lt;br /&gt;There are parades and festivals of all kinds, two of the traditional parades are the Christmas parade and the horse parade which are held near the end of December, in recent years the Christmas parade had been replaced by the Parade of Lights organized by the Municipality of San &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;José&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The Carnivals in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Zapote&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Palmares&lt;/span&gt; also attract huge crowds of people who go dancing, partying, beer drinking, and cruising around, they also have &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;costarrican&lt;/span&gt; bull fights where many people gather in a rodeo style structure called &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;el&lt;/span&gt; ¨&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;redondel&lt;/span&gt;¨, many improvised bull fighters tease and get close to the bull, while the crowds laugh and scream every time the bulls catch or scares one of them, it is a dangerous sport and the red cross is always attending the improvised bull fighters that are caught and thrown up the air, very few have been killed.&lt;br /&gt;At the end, the bulls never get hurt much less killed and it ends with a firework display.&lt;br /&gt;People in Costa Rica celebrate the whole month of December and usually into January.&lt;br /&gt;another traditional activity is the ¨&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;avenidazo&lt;/span&gt;¨ which is the stroll along central avenue throwing confetti to others.&lt;br /&gt;After people receive their ¨&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;aguinaldos&lt;/span&gt;¨ which is the yearly Christmas bonus people start the serious Christmas shopping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Costarricans&lt;/span&gt; become extra giving during the month of December and you will very likely see people and organizations collecting funds, toys and school supplies for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;underprivileged&lt;/span&gt; children in poor communities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tradition is a very important value that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;costarricans&lt;/span&gt; cherish, Christmas is more a religious holiday celebrated with a large Christmas dinner on the 24&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; of December where all the family gathers to exchange presents, see relatives that they may not have seen recently and share &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Tico&lt;/span&gt; tamales, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Christmas&lt;/span&gt; cake,wine, coffee, beer, etc&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;New Years eve on the other hand is one big party, usually people gather in homes until midnight and then give each other a happy new year kiss, light up &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;firecrackers&lt;/span&gt;, blow horns and dance, many have a lot of good luck belief which they do on December 31st, such as eating a dozen grapes at the stroke of midnight, start counting money for wealth, carry a suit case all around to travel during the year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Lic&lt;/span&gt;.Gregory Kearney Lawson.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question from a reader:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;My half sister was born in Peru. Her dad also my dad is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;costarican&lt;/span&gt; her mom is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;peruvian&lt;/span&gt;. She (my sister) has been living here in CR for 13 years now but my dad is a punk and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;doesn't&lt;/span&gt; want to help her because he only cares about his 3rd &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;wifes´&lt;/span&gt; family and himself. So now my little sister is 19 and she &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;hasn't&lt;/span&gt; been able to get her CR &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;cédula&lt;/span&gt; because my punk dad cant take the time to go with her to sign the paper at the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Registro&lt;/span&gt; so she can get her &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;cédula&lt;/span&gt;. She now has a daughter that was born here and is almost a year old and her boyfriend is a little kid and they are not going to get married. So i just want to ask. Is there anything else she can do to get her &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;cédula&lt;/span&gt; or can i sign anything for her being her big brother or can our grandma sign anything so that she can be a legal Costa &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Rican&lt;/span&gt;? After all, she is half &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;costa&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;rican&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=Ap6Chg0EsLSlYuxUQtfQEdgazKIX;_ylv=3?show=um0Ezo5raa"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=AsCVwRKgtUXFO2oQKvALuoIazKIX;_ylv=3?show=um0Ezo5raa"&gt;Attorney...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answer :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Hello Yes, your sister as well as you are entitled to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;costarrican&lt;/span&gt; citizenship through her/your fathers nationality.But if he refuses to have her registered or accepts being the father then she will have to do another procedure to prove that she is his daughter.&lt;br /&gt;This process is called a paternity investigation and is done through an attorney and through the courts in Costa Rica.&lt;br /&gt;I have done many of these procedures and in the court process a DNA test is applied for, if he does not show up for the test after a couple of dates he will be considered the father of your sister along with tall the rights and obligations that that entails.After the Judgement is obtained it then is registered, finally after it is registered your sister will have &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;costarrican&lt;/span&gt; citizenship.&lt;br /&gt;This however must be done before her 26 birthday !!!!!!!The sooner the better,&lt;br /&gt;I know it might seem like a complicated procedure but it really &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;isn&lt;/span&gt;´t, it involves three procedures that are not that complicated.&lt;br /&gt;Another option is to do a paternity acceptance with a Lawyer and have him sign the Lawyers protocol book where the original document of paternity is done by the Lawyer and then registered.&lt;br /&gt;Many times a father will not want to go register as the father of his son or daughter if they are under 24 years old because of the possibility of having to pay for child support, so they wait until the child is over that age, but if they were not born in Costa Rica then it will be more complicated to obtain &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;costarrican&lt;/span&gt;

back in the country or looking over their shoulder when your visa has expired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Law number one in Costa Rica is you can do it if you think you can getaway with it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you want to be on the correct side of the law, then get your permanent residency started if you plan on living here!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many tourists get away with being a perpetual tourist but immigration, being a strange creature that changes constantly always changes it´s rules, their policy has always been that tourist visas are for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;tourists and&lt;/span&gt; permanent residency is for those that want to live here permanently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those perpetual tourists may be in for a big surprise when immigration decides to continue to crack down on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is much easier to apply for residency and be legal, it does not matter how long they will take because you will be legal in the country no matter how long they take to approve your residency, the ball is in their side and you will be safe from having to pay bribes or end up in a cell awaiting deportation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have gone many times to immigration detention to get foreigners out of jail because they thought it &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;wouldn&lt;/span&gt;´t be a problem and got caught in an immigration raid, most are Nicaraguans, Colombians and Dominicans but there are always several &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;americans&lt;/span&gt; and Europeans that get caught and deported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My best advice is don´t push your luck too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Lic&lt;/span&gt;.Gregory Kearney Lawson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://attorneykearney.com/"&gt;http://attorneykearney.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621354666952169017-343875709349482919?l=attorneykearney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/feeds/343875709349482919/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2008/12/perpetual-tourists.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/343875709349482919'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/343875709349482919'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2008/12/perpetual-tourists.html' title='Perpetual tourists'/><author><name>AttorneyKearney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05321003499787972052</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/STUEyjf-NsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0B_LteFmSlM/S220/Gregory+in+black.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/SUQhAsfplHI/AAAAAAAAAC4/JgXykEH3jXQ/s72-c/Dina+and+Trini.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621354666952169017.post-3623563808256534287</id><published>2008-12-03T15:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-20T18:03:59.538-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='marriages'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weddings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hawaii'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='law'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='services'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='professional'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lawyers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='legal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='streams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='planning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eloping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='couples'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='parks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='attorneys'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='volcanoes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beaches'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='costa rica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='floral'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='notary public'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gardens'/><title type='text'>Have your Wedding  Ceremony in Costa Rica........</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/SUQYx4y87NI/AAAAAAAAACo/MSVTyuY9fZ4/s1600-h/Copia+de+Jenniwed4a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279371908523814098" style="FLOAT: right;

Legislative assembly building, this is the way protests are done in Costa Rica and has shown to have positive results.&lt;br /&gt;This march should be well planned out and Important points to take in consideration:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1- What are the intentions of this Law and who are the ones promoting it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2- This Law project if approved cannot be retroactive as that would be against the constitution and the rights and guarantees of a free and democratic country, any new law can affect new applications for residents.&lt;br /&gt;Still it is a good idea to take this law project seriously and show our concerns in an early orderly manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3- Experience shows that in the past, law projects are revised by adding and eliminating articles and that in the end, the law &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;projects&lt;/span&gt; transformed and looks like a fraction of what the approved law is like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4- The Law projects are approved in Congress(&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Legislative Assembly&lt;/span&gt;), before they are approved they have to be presented to the congressmen (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Diputados&lt;/span&gt;) and approved in two different debates and only then can they become Law of the country.&lt;br /&gt;During this process many things can happen, people who are against the Law project or in favor march to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Legislative&lt;/span&gt; assembly and picket with signs, present signatures, get press attention and speak a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;represntative&lt;/span&gt; or two can sometimes speak directly with the Legislators to demonstrate their points of view and their concerns.The Law project may or may not be sent to the constitutional court for review to see if there are any articles that may be unconstitutional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5- It is important to inform the press so that they can help bring attention to understand the effects of the proposed Law and it´s possible &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;consequence's&lt;/span&gt;, I can very much help with this as I am a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;former Photojournalist&lt;/span&gt;

Law, Roman Law is the common foundation upon which the European legal order is based on.&lt;br /&gt;Civil law or Roman-Germanic law or Continental law is the predominant system of law in the world, in which an abstract code of law rules that judges apply to the various cases before them.&lt;br /&gt;It is different from common law, in which abstract rules are derived from specific cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Costarican&lt;/span&gt; Law is similar to Napoleonic code because the Laws are organized in code books instead of purely past cases.&lt;br /&gt;Besides code books judges also take in consideration past cases, evidence etc.&lt;br /&gt;In civil law nations, an investigating magistrate supervises police investigations, but the magistrate does not determine innocence or guilt and functions much as a grand jury does in common law nations.&lt;br /&gt;With the difference that in Civil Law the jury for the most part does not know anything about law and generally make a decision based on their feelings, in Common law a group of one, three or five judges is used depending on the court that reviews the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Lic&lt;/span&gt;.Gregory Kearney Lawson.&lt;br /&gt;Attorney at Law/Real Estate Broker&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621354666952169017-8707425948579430188?l=attorneykearney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/feeds/8707425948579430188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2008/12/note-about-common-law-and-civil-law.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/8707425948579430188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5621354666952169017/posts/default/8707425948579430188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://attorneykearney.blogspot.com/2008/12/note-about-common-law-and-civil-law.html' title='A note about Common law and Civil law'/><author><name>AttorneyKearney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05321003499787972052</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/STUEyjf-NsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0B_LteFmSlM/S220/Gregory+in+black.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VmPHWCRQXhc/SUOQR-e8DWI/AAAAAAAAACA/zwJYVIV4S3o/s72-c/Lawyer+Logo+2.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621354666952169017.post-6924607536872936892</id><published>2008-12-02T01:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-21T00:21:59.508-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='immigration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='services'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='costa rica living'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='retiring'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='relocating'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='residency'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='experts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='real estate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='expats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='property'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='costa rica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='laws'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='business'/><title type='text'>Costa Rica Blog by AttorneyKearney</title><content type='html'>Hello Everyone&lt;br /&gt;After reading and hearing so much misinformation and rumors about Costa Rica on the net from many boards and so called experts and expats I decided to start keeping a record of the information and advice that I have been giving out for many years to help out and diminish the stress that many soon to be expats and businesses get when relocating, visiting or investing in Costa Rica.&lt;br /&gt;This blog is here for the purpose of informing you about Costa Rica, relocating, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;costa&lt;/span&gt;
