 Border disputes and protectionist policies may keep economic enterprises
from freely crossing international boundaries in some regions of the
Caribbean, but such is not the case with environmental phenomena. Lethal
Yellowing (LY) disease is one such example, moving across the region with an
ease that would be the envy of modern day globalization proponents.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK |

Payless Shoes to invest US$ 30 million in Honduras
T he supermarket criminal, the super
economy
 We
estimate that at least 50 percent of the national production is
distributed among supermarkets, supply markets, grocery stores and other
similar retail businesses. While Hondurans own 60 percent of these
businesses, the rest belong to foreign capital. Foreign investors
acquire at least half of their supplies in their countries of origin,
and do not allow Honduran products to compete within their
establishments. Full editorial

Closing the knowledge gap between rich and poor: What’s to Stop Us?
Today,
the key role of education in economic development is well established.
It has been studied, analyzed, documented and supported by historical
facts. The theories that emphasize the contribution of human capital
to economic growth received great support from the experience of the
East Asian countries: Hong Kong, Taiwan, The Republic of Korea and
Singapore. According to a United Nations report, these countries,
which presented low growth and development in the sixties, were able
to close, in a few decades, almost all gaps that separated them from
developed countries.

Dear HTW:
I have an inheritance from my mother’s estate and as I live in the
U.S., I gave my sister my Power of Attorney to represent me in the
proceedings. It happens that I think it would be best to terminate
this arrangement but her son, who is a recent graduate from law
school, tells me that I need to grant another person in Honduras a
Power of Attorney before I can revoke the Power of Attorney to my
sister. OR, my sister must expressly renounce it.

A black belt was just another beginning
for Dona Leslie
 It’s
5:30 a.m. on any given weekday in Tegucigalpa. A very uncommon woman
is parking her car, a black and white, German Volkswagen. She gets out
off her car and proceeds to open the doors of the Ken Chin Kan Karate
Do Academy. Her classmates in this martial art (class begins at six
a.m.) Soon begin to arrive. By ROSIBEL

Copan Update

Hot off the press, the Third Maya
Conference is scheduled for May 15 - 17 in Copan Ruinas. Last years
conference was a tremendous and monumental success. Hundreds of Maya
scholars, academics and just plain aficionados participated in a plethora of
conferences and events offered by some of the top experts in the field and
they were wined and dined in true Copan style. Look for upcoming ads for the
event in Archeology Magazine a principal sponsor of the event. It is
recommended to reserve early as the event sold out quickly last year and
procrastinators were forced onto a waiting list.
