NOTICIAS DESTACADAS EN BELICE
Jueves, 30 de abril de 2009.
Influenza porcina. Después de que la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) elevó el nivel de alerta de pandemia de 4 a 5, el gobierno de Belice ordenó la suspensión de todos los eventos públicos hasta nuevo aviso, entre ellos la Feria de Agricultura y Comercio de Belice 2009. Informó que no existen casos confirmados en Belice, pero muestras de 4 casos de interés fueron enviados a Trinidad y Tobago para realizar pruebas, al tiempo que comenzó a funcionar el número telefónico de información (hot line). No se permitirá que personas enfermas desciendan de los cruceros en Belice. Por otro lado, descartó el cierre de las fronteras en razón de que no ha sido recomendado por las normas internacionales de salud. Algunos beliceños han comenzado a hacer compras de pánico o a adquirir artículos sanitarios. Continúa el monitoreo en la frontera con México y las escuelas en el norte reforzaron sus medidas de vigilancia.
El Salvador. Ayer, el presidente saliente de El Salvador, Elías Antonio Saca, realizó una breve visita a Belice, como parte de su gira por países centroamericanos con el fin de despedirse de su cargo como mandatario de ese país. Saca recibió la orden de Belice de manos del Primer Ministro Dean Barrow. A su vez, el mandatario salvadoreño confirió al PM Barrow la Orden Nacional de José Matías Delgado.
Ex Primer Ministro. Ayer concluyó la etapa de argumentos en el caso del recurso judicial promovido por el ex Primer Ministro Said Musa contra la decisión de un magistrado de ser sometido a juicio por robo de US$10 millones donados por Venezuela a Belice. El abogado de Musa aseguró que no hay evidencia suficiente, el tipo penal no es aplicable a este caso y las pruebas ofrecidas por la fiscal no son adecuadas.
Policía. El Sindicato de Trabajadores del Estado (PSU) criticó la forma como se han realizado los nuevos nombramientos y los ascensos de altos oficiales de la Policía, debido a que son contrarios a la ley; sin embargo, no objeta a las personas que han sido designadas. Hoy, el comisionado de la Policía, Gerald Westby, entregará el mando al nuevo comisionado Crispin Jeffries.
Inflación. De acuerdo con el Instituto de Estadística de Belice (SIB), la inflación anual para alimentos y bebidas alcanzó cerca del 12% en febrero de 2009.
Petróleo. Después de los mutuos señalamientos entre el PM Dean Barrow y el Instituto Sarstoon Temash de Administración Indígena (SATIIM) sobre el permiso otorgado por el gobierno de Belice a la empresa petrolera US Capital Energy para conducir una prueba sísmica en el parque nacional Sarstoon Temash, representantes del SATIIM aclararon su deseo de alcanzar un acuerdo con el gobierno. Respecto a las reivindicaciones mayas sobre la tenencia de la tierra, precisaron que no se pretende imponer a todo el distrito de Toledo (sur de Belice). Hoy el SATIIM se reunirá con el PM Barrow.
Protección de parque. Respecto al desmonte de la cima en el pico Victoria, la organización Belize Audobon Society indicó que la acción fue ilegal e innecesaria, debido a que en el área ya existen plataformas para el aterrizaje de helicópteros. El pasado 8 de abril, una parte de ese parque nacional fue talada presuntamente para el aterrizaje de un helicóptero de la Unidad de Apoyo para Entrenamiento en Belice del Ejército Británico (BATSUB).
Ataque a maestro. El Sindicato Nacional de Maestros de Belice (BNTU) ha condenado el ataque de un padre de familia contra un profesor en Solid Rock Academy en Dangriga (sur de Belice) la semana pasada. El Sindicato exigió al gobierno establecer legislación disciplinaria contra estos casos que incluya asesoramiento, multas o, en su caso, sanciones penales.

Mientras que la Embajada de México informó el estado que guarda la situación en México, no se han cerrado las fronteras, ni existen restricciones al transporte de personas o de productos; en Quintana Roo no se ha reportado ningún caso de influenza porcina, las autoridades distribuyen información y se monitorean los lugares públicos como las estaciones de autobuses y los aeropuertos .
Apagón. Según la compañía de electricidad de Belice, BEL, una interrupción en el suministro de electricidad procedente de México causó un apagón en Belice ayer por la madrugada.

WHEN FRIENDS DO US WRONG
IT TAKES A FRIEND, TO ...
Well ladies, here is February 1st, 2009. One month down and eleven more to go before we say good bye to 2009.Anyone out there feeling that they have been used or hurt by someone they trusted. Well if you are like that then sit back and read something that I discovered.Firstly, there is no true friend in this world anymore. Everyone is out to blast someone. Everyone is out to get what they can from someone and everyone have an issue and if they are like some people I met well…… then you are in for a long haul.I met this woman back in November of 2007 and from what I could see she seem okay. Then in September of 2008 she was back and once again she seemed fine. We became friends and would chat for long period of time. Then I had the bad luck of fining out she is just like all the other women who come around. In fact, because of her my life took a change that I am still trying to comprehend. Today I have stopped talking to her and have avoided being where she is. I need to tell someone that she is not all she pretends to be because she has told me some things that make her to be just like all the other gold diggers around who are out to find what they can get from those who feel they need to help others. Then she went and did the unforgiveable and she knows what I am talking about. I have no intention of keeping in contact with a fake and now I feel I should tell the person she is using that she is not the woman she wants us to think she is.What I have to say about this sort of “friendship” is WE DON’T NEED IT. And if the person really does get more from us than we get from them, then we can leave and never look back. I am giving my so called “friend” the silent treatment. I may never visit her home and I may never buy her meal again. She proved to me that she was not a friend and I am sorry but this world is filled with persons who are looking for someone to share good and bad time that we don’t have time for those who lie and cheat.Something to ponder on:How do we know if we have a true friend? The signs will be there. You will be able to see it in their actions more times than not. But the bottom dollar is we have to learn to read the signs. They are everywhere.

Classic Quotes by Carl Sandburg (1878-1967) American poet and biographer
A baby is God's opinion that life should go on.
--------------------
A book is never a masterpiece: it becomes one. Genius is the talent of a dead man.
--------------------
A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die, and in order to die he must first awake.
--------------------
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.
--------------------
And how should a beautiful, ignorant stream of water know it heads for an early release - out across the desert, running toward the Gulf, below sea level, to murmur its lullaby, and see the Imperial Valley rise out of burning sand with cotton blossoms, wheat, watermelons, roses, how should it know?
--------------------
Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed.
--------------------
Arithmetic is where the answer is right and everything is nice and you can look out of the window and see the blue sky - or the answer is wrong and you have to start over and try again and see how it comes out this time.
--------------------
Here is the difference between Dante, Milton, and me. They wrote about hell and never saw the place. I wrote about Chicago after looking the town over for years and years.
--------------------
I am an idealist. I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way.

TODAY'S WORD
adventitious \aed-ven-TI-shehs\ (adjective) - 1 : An extraneous part of a system found in an unusual place, as adventitious roots growing from the trunk of a tree; 2 : added extraneously, not inherent or natural, out of place.
"Margaret arrived in a matching skirt and sweater outfit, leather pumps, and an adventitious yellow purse that raised more than one eyebrow."
Latin adventicius "foreign" from adventus "arrival" the past participle of advenire "to arrive, come to" based on ad "(up) to" + venire "to come." This word is visible in English "advent," "adventure," "souvenir," and others. "Venire" goes back to Proto-Indo-European *gwem- "go, come." In Germanic, the [g] became [k] and the [w] disappeared by regular processes, leading to English "come" and German "kommen." Today's word resembles "adventurous" and you might be tempted to confuse the two. Although both derive from the same source, the two words are distinct. The adverb for today's word is "adventitiously" and the noun is "adventitiousness."
