Bill O’Reilly to Analyze “bad guy body language”
Body Language Breakdown! They’re the world’s worst villains —Tonight we expose the truth behind their masked messages!
Who are the world’s worst villains according to Bill O’Reilly:
Maybe Aruba can figure it out now why their economy continues to tank. The person you covered up a crime for, Joran Van der Sloot, is considered by many as one of the world’s worst villains. All the marketing is never going to wash away that stain. Try as you might.
Watch tonight on The Factor
More Joran Van der Sloot body language, HERE.
UPDATE I: Partial comments from Tonya Reiman – Body Language Expert regarding Joran Van der Sloot:
Initially I see a great deal of smugness. He also looks around everywhere. His eyes are darting all over the place and usually that’s indicative of somebody who’s looking for an escape route. He is not making eye contact his eyes just seem to be going all over the place. You know when he talks about she came to me he does that little eyebrow lift and then you can see a little bit of a smile that crosses his face. So there is that little bit of pride coming through that this woman came on to him supposedly. I also notice that see now he did the inward lip roll which of course we all know that’s typically done when you’re a little bit nervous or anxious and he’s being interviewed so I’m sure that’s part of it. But the eyes moving around a lot just tell me that he’s not comfortable doing this interview. You know the constant shoulder shrug also, that’s almost a protective gesture. It can be seen as either a little bit submissive but it’s also protecting yourself. You’re bringing your shoulders all the way up and you are protecting your neck. So I think that part of this was smugness, part of this was that he appears to be hiding something what it is I don’t know. But when you just saw him look up like that usually when people look up they are visualizing something.

Kill The Baby Polar Bear Says Animal Rights Activists
Yep, you read the headline correctly.
Animal rights activists are actively campaigning for a baby polar bear, named Knut, to be euthanized because it is being raised by humans after it’s mother abandoned him. The polar bear is 3 months old and has been hand fed by the zookeepers at the Berlin Zoo.
When Knut was born in December, his mother ignored him and his brother, who died. Zoo officials intervened, choosing to raise the cub themselves. But Albrecht and other activists fret that it is inappropriate for a predator, known for its fierceness and ability to fend for itself in the wild, to be snuggled, bottle-fed and made into a commodity by zookeepers.
They argue that current treatment of the cub is inhumane and could cause him future difficulties interacting with fellow polar bears. “They cannot domesticate a wild animal,” added Ruediger Schmiedel, head of the Foundation for Bears. The charity cites a similar case of a baby sloth which was put to sleep after being abandoned by its mother last December in the Leipzig city zoo.
But Berlin Zoo holds different opinions. Its chief vet Andre Schuele says the activists’ criticisms would make him angry if he could take them seriously. “Polar bears live alone in the wild. I see no logical reason why this bear should be killed.” via the Daily Mail
The animal rights lobby has gotten so out of hand that they now think they are God and want to control the order of life on their terms. It is amazing what these people will think and do.
Central Bank of Aruba Shows Continued Economic Weakness for 2006 Third Qtr, Especially in Tourism
The grim news continues to come from the Central Bank of Aruba. Much like an Aruban 
version of “ground hog day,” six more weeks of continued economic weakness. The weakness in the third quarter of 2006 continues to be profoundly from tourism. No matter what attempt Aruba tries to falsely market tourism in Aruba, it has failed and continues to do so. When will Aruba and its officials comprehend that the decline will continue as long as they keep denying the obvious? Tourists are staying away because they do not want cute TV ads of white sand beaches or radio ads discussing low rates; people want “Justice for Natalee”!
The slowdown in business activities is mostly affected by an ongoing sub-par performance in the tourism sector, as shown by the number of stay-over visitors and nights spent on the island, which declined by 4 percent and 2 percent, respectively, in the period under review. This decline was, however, not as pronounced as in the previous four quarters. Consequently, gross tourism receipts decreased by 3 percent, while the hotel occupancy rate registered a 5 percentage points fall-off to 74.6 percent.
