Isaiah Laing, now mostly known as the man behind the Sting show, may have been off the police front-line duties since 1996, but like many Jamaicans he is concerned about the sky rocketing crime rate.
The 'old call of duty' seems to be stirring again for the ex-cop who only a week ago was named in a Gleaner article as a 'super-cop'.
When THE STAR asked in a recent interview if he would come back on board as a crime-fighter, Laing paused and said; "Yes, I will. Because this crime rate, this murder rate, the kind of crime that going on in Jamaica, we can't sit around and allow it to go on. No, it's unbearable right now".
With some five months left in 2008, there has already been approximately 800 murders in the island.
Laing who served in the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) from 1976 was removed in April 1996 after the JCF said they had infromation from credible sources which alleged that he was involved in drug activites. He took the JCF to court over the decision to axe him but lost in the Supreme Court.
But despite his removal from crime-fighting, the man who has remained in the public's eyes, mostly through his association with Sting, has a keen interest in the escalating crime situation.
"Well the crime situation right now, I don't think it can get worse," he told The STAR. I think that the police really, really have to get back to basics and do detective work, the work that detectives used to do in the days gone by," he told The STAR.
"From what I am seeing now detectives out there not detecting; they're only investigating. And some of them investigating not even know how to investigate, or where to begin. And a next set of them very lazy."
"In my day, back in the day, when we have a murder to investigate, we nah stop till we find somebody. Back in the days I am almost sure you would have 60 to 70 per cent clear-up. I was really listening the other day, the clear-up thing and murder, most times the clear-up don't mean somebody been charged..."
So what would Laing want to do if he returns to the force, "Honestly, I'm not sure I would really want to hit the streets - I would get the intelligence for them. That, I know I can do better than any police there right now. I can get more intelligence than any police that is in the force right now."
"Yeah, I'll do that. Get the intelligence, tell them how to approach and how to do what. Give me a team of men that I am in charge of, I will deal with it," he said.

An nfo file, is a file packed with a release by a group when they release things on the Internet. The files are designed by ASCII artists and can be read with notepad. They contain release information. For example, the runtime of a movie, how to install if it's software, producer, label, tracklists and so on. It's like an identification file, there is always an nfo file packed with a release unless you rip it yourself or get it from a studio or something. The best way to view this info is using a NFO Viewing program. I use DAMN NFO Viewer which u can get here:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Text-editors/DAMN-NFO-Viewer.shtml
SFV (Simple File Verificator) files are used to ensure if files are:
- not corrupt
- not missingFor example, with RARs it's important that we got all the parts and that none of the RAR files is corrupt... If it is RAR will tell us (if its new RAR that is). However to know that rar file 020 is corrupt we need to have previous 19 files to test... SFV allows us to test any file at any time without the need to have other files.
Further more for mp3s we might never notice a file missing (afterall, other songs will play allright) but thanks to sfv its easy to spot which file is missing.
10 ways to help teens stay smoke-free |
Saturday, May 31, 2008 |
Teen smoking might begin innocently enough, but it can rapidly become a lifelong habit that is hard to beat. Help your teen resist taking that first puff with these 10 tips from the Mayoclinic, medical centre in the US:
Understand the attraction
Sometimes teen smoking is a form of rebellion or a way to fit in with a particular group of friends. Some teens light up in an attempt to lose weight or to feel better about themselves. Ask your teen how he or she feels about smoking. Ask which of your teen's friends smoke. Applaud your teen's good choices, and talk about the consequences of bad choices.
Most people start smoking before the age of 18 |
Say no to teen smoking
You may feel as if your teen doesn't hear a word you say, but say it anyway. Tell your teen that smoking isn't allowed. Your disapproval may have more impact than you think.
Set a good example
Teen smoking is more common among teens whose parents smoke. If you don't smoke, keep it up. If you do smoke, quit - now. Tell them how unhappy you are with your smoking and how difficult it is to quit.
Appeal to your teen's vanity
Remind your teen that smoking is a dirty, smelly habit. It gives you bad breath, makes your clothes and hair smell, and turns your teeth yellow. Smoking can leave you with a chronic cough and less energy for sports and other activities you enjoy.
Do the math. Smoking is expensive
Help your teen calculate the weekly, monthly or yearly cost of a pack-a-day smoking habit.
Expect peer pressure
Friends who smoke can be convincing - but you can give your teen the tools he or she needs to refuse cigarettes. Rehearse how to handle tough social situations.
Take addiction seriously
Most teens believe they can quit smoking anytime they want. But teens become just as addicted to nicotine as do adults, often quickly and at relatively low doses of nicotine.
Predict the future
Teens tend to assume that bad things only happen to other people. But the long-term consequences of smoking - such as cancer, heart attack and stroke - may be all too real when your teen becomes an adult.
Think beyond cigarettes
Smokeless tobacco and candy-flavoured cigarettes (bidis) are sometimes mistaken as less harmful or less addictive than traditional cigarettes. Like traditional cigarettes, these products are addictive and can cause cancer and other health problems.
Get involved
Take an active stance against teen smoking. Participate in local and school-sponsored anti-smoking campaigns. Support bans on smoking in public places.
S Africa Chinese 'become black'
Man in Chinatown
Chinese activists say they also fought against apartheid
The High Court in South Africa has ruled that Chinese South Africans are to be reclassified as black people.
It made the order so that ethnic Chinese can benefit from government policies aimed at ending white domination in the private sector.
The Chinese Association of South Africa took the government to court, saying its members had been discriminated against.
An estimated 200,000 ethnic Chinese live in South Africa.
The association said their members often failed to qualify for business contracts and job promotions because they were regarded as whites.
The association said Chinese South Africans had faced widespread discrimination during the years of apartheid when they had been classified as people of mixed race.
The BBC's Mpho Lakaje in Johannesburg says the Broad-Based Economic Empowerment and the Employment Equity Acts were designed to eradicate the legacy of apartheid which left many black people impoverished.
The laws give people classed as blacks, Indians and coloureds (mixed-race) employment and other economic benefits over other racial groups.
The Black Economic Employment concept was initiated by the governing ANC to help previously disadvantaged individuals - to start their own businesses or become part of existing companies - thus redressing the country's historic inequalities.
Whites still on top
Our correspondent says the ruling provides clarity for corporations in South Africa on the rights of their Chinese staff - who were declared "coloured" under apartheid but are generally regarded as white today.
An example cited in court papers includes an oil company that disqualified Chinese citizens from getting a slice of its biggest empowerment transaction to date.
The company says the group is not catered for in the Black Economic Empowerment codes.
Another example includes a Chinese national who was refused an opportunity to buy shares from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange two years ago.
None of the three government departments cited as respondents in the court case opposed the application.
A study released last month revealed that white South Africans still earn around 450% more than their black counterparts, 14 years after the end of apartheid.
A 15-year-old boy died in a horrific construction accident Friday when he was buried under a mountain of searing-hot asphalt.
The boy, too young to work on construction jobs under Manitoba labour laws, was part of a paving crew working on a parking lot in the Winnipeg bedroom community of Stony Mountain.
"I believe (the truck) dumped off way too much asphalt unexpectedly," said Stony Mountain fire Chief Wallace Drysdale.
"I was one of the first members on scene and we just saw the hair sticking out of this individual. It was extremely hot asphalt. Our crews, when we were digging out, had to shuttle different members in and out in about four- or five-minute intervals because our feet were burning."
Police and labour officials were investigating.
Richard Hill, who lives less than 100 metres from the accident scene, heard the boy screaming and ran over.
"I guess it was the truck driver that said, `There's a guy buried in here' and I ... found a shovel, and me and another guy tried digging him out," Hill said.
It took about 15 minutes to get the boy out. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
"We got to the back of his head and there was no movement," Hill said. "We pretty much knew there wouldn't be any hope because of the heat and the weight of that (asphalt).
"There's no way a person can breathe with asphalt."
RCMP said they had identified the boy but were not releasing his name immediately at the request of his family.
Manitoba workplace health and safety officials were trying to figure out how the accident occurred and would not comment.
Having teenagers work such jobs is not uncommon, according to Drysdale.
"It's usually a good summer job for them."
However, Manitoba's Employment Standards Code bars young people under 16 from working on construction sites, as well as other industrial locations where there are drilling rigs and scaffolding. RCMP didn't say whether charges would be laid.
The death has touched everyone in Stony Mountain, Drysdale said.
"Our (fire department) members knew this person, 'cause it's a small town," he said. "It's very hard."
Hill said there were a lot of stories floating around the community as to how the asphalt got dumped on the boy.
"One rumour I heard is that asphalt sticks in the box (of a truck), and I guess he banged it and the whole load came down on him," Hill said.
"I never really talked to the driver or anybody there. There was nothing really being said ... the truck driver was in shock."
A low fence separates the church from the area where taxis to May Pen pick up and let off passengers. Consequently, the house of God has become a chosen spot for persons wishing to 'relieve' themselves, THE STAR has learnt.
One member of the church, Mrs James, explained that a gate leading from the church into the taxi park made for easy access. Not even signs and a padlocked gate have discouraged persons from relieving themselves on sacred ground.
"The church used to be so pretty, and now nobody don't even walk through that gate. It's terrible," she said, before noting that she had been worshipping at the church for some 40 years.
This man was caught on camara urinating in the St Mark's Anglican Parish Churchyard.
Despite the erection of a urinal in the taxi park, persons choose to urinate and defecate elsewhere, including inside the churchyard.
Upon walking through the park en route to the church, an unbearable stench defiled the air. church members say this is also a problem.
"Yes, sir, it is a big problem for us. It has been a problem for some years now," one church member said when asked about the stench.
Not even the dead have been shown the least bit of respect as even graves and other prepared burial spots are regularly used as toilets.
During a tour of the churchyard, faeces covered by dirt and walls stained by urine marks were noticed.
Miss Margaret, who has been a member of the church for 24 years, also pointed to a tiled area, just in front of the church kitchen, in which she claims the alleged intruders have, on a number of occasions, created a mess.
She also pointed to a burial spot where a known drug addict relieves himself daily while he carries out his illicit act.
These actions have even forced Miss Margaret to grille her grandmother's grave.
"Yu lucky seh since me and unnu deh yah, yu nuh si dem jump ova di wall and come stoop down," she said in a disgruntled tone of voice.
In just a matter of moments, however, THE STAR team would get a picture of the tales that were being told.
Upon leaving the churchyard, an individual was noticed urinating just beside the front gate of the church, in full view of about four church members, after which, the man simply turned around and sat beside the spot where he had just urinated.
"Unnu si him! Ketch him! Ketch him, nuh!" yelled two elderly men as they urged the photographer to take the man's photograph.
Brenda Ramsay, mayor of Mandeville, said the council, through the municipal police, had tried to deter the practice; however, despite arresting a few persons, the problem continued.
She also said the fines were not high enough to deter those held. Ramsay said getting people to respect the church is the only way to stop them from using the churchyard as a toilet.
In the meantime, church members with whom THE STAR spoke, said that there was very little they could do.
"If yu eva si dem and try talk to dem, yu wouldn't believe di words weh dem tell yuh," James said.
AFTER scanning his textbooks and making them available to anyone to download free, a contributor at the file-sharing site PirateBay.org composed a colorful message for all publishers of college textbooks, warning them that myself and all other students are tired of getting ripped off. (The contributors message included many ripe expletives, but hey, this is a family newspaper.)
All forms of print publishing must contend with the digital transition, but college textbook publishing has a particularly nasty problem on its hands. College students may be the angriest group of captive customers to be found anywhere.
Consider the cost of a legitimate copy of one of the textbooks listed at the Pirate Bay, John E. McMurrys Organic Chemistry. A new copy has a list price of $209.95; discounted, its about $150; used copies run $110 and up. To many students, those prices are outrageous, set by profit-engorged corporations (and assisted by callous professors, who choose which texts are required). Helping themselves to gratis pirated copies may seem natural, especially when hard drives are loaded with lots of other products picked up free.
But many people outside of the students enclosed world would call that plain theft.
Compared with music publishers, textbook publishers have been relatively protected from piracy by the considerable trouble entailed in digitizing a printed textbook. Converting the roughly 1,300 pages of Organic Chemistry into a digital file requires much more time than ripping a CD.
Time flies, however, if youre having a good time plotting righteous revenge, and students seem angrier than ever before about the price of textbooks. More students are choosing used books over new; sales of a new edition plunge as soon as used copies are available, in the semester following introduction; and publishers raise prices and shorten intervals between revisions to try to recoup the loss of revenue and the demand for used books goes up all the more.
Used book sales return nothing to publishers and authors. Digital publishing, however, offers textbook publishers a way to effectively destroy the secondary market for textbooks: they now can shift the entire business model away from selling objects toward renting access to a site with a time-defined subscription, a different thing entirely.
The transition has already begun, even while publishers continue to sell print editions. They are pitching ancillary services that instructors can require students to purchase, just like textbooks, but which are available only online on a subscription basis. Cengage Learning, the publisher of Professor McMurrys Organic Chemistry, packages the new book with a two-semester access card to a Cengage site that provides instructors with canned quizzes and students with interactive tutorials.
Ronald G. Dunn, chief executive of Cengage Learning, says he believes the printed book is not about to disappear, because it presents a large amount of material conveniently. Mr. Dunn predicted that textbook publishers were headed for a hybrid market: print will do what it does best, and digital will do what it does best.
Whether students will view online subscriptions as a helpful adjunct to the printed textbook or as a self-aggrandizing ploy by publishers remains to be seen.
As textbook publishers try to shift to an online subscription model, they must also stem the threat posed by the sharing of scanned copies of their textbooks by students who use online publishing tools for different purposes. The students who create and give away digital copies are motivated not by financial self-interest but by something more powerful: the sweet satisfaction of revenge.
Mr. Dunn says that online piracy is a significant issue for us. His company assigns employees to monitor file-sharing sites, and they find in any given month 200 to 300 Cengage textbook titles being shared. The company sends notices to the sites, demanding that the files be removed and threatening legal action.
Textbook Torrents, a site that opened last year and was wholly dedicated to arranging peer-to-peer sharing of textbook files, closed without explanation this month. But other sites continue to rely upon similar technology for disseminating unauthorized copies of textbooks, facilitating the piece-by-piece movement of copies of files found on the computers of participants.
The Pirate Bay, which is based in Sweden, presents a devilishly fearless challenge to American textbook publishers. It describes itself as an anticopyright organization and offers music, movies, television shows and software, as well as e-books like textbooks not a single item of which, it boasts, has ever been removed at the request of a copyright owner.
When a copyright holder sends the Pirate Bay a removal request, the letter is posted on the site with a sarcastic response, like inquiring where an invoice should be sent for the costs of Web publishing and hosting services that Pirate Bay incurred when it posted the notice. I corresponded last week with Peter Sunde, a Pirate Bay founder, asking about evidence of greater interest in textbook titles. He said his site does not collect statistics about downloads because of privacy concerns, but generally, he said, the volume of e-book downloads had increased.
The textbook publishers have abundantly good reasons to promote e-books. When Cengage sells an e-book version of Organic Chemistry directly to students, for $109.99, it not only cuts out the middleman but also reduces the supply of used books at the end of the semester.
THE e-book is wrapped with digital rights management, which, history indicates, will be broken sooner or later. But as long as it does work, digital publishing with a subscription model is a much fairer basis for the business. Such an arrangement spreads revenue across multiple semesters, so it isnt the unfortunate few students in the first semester with a new edition who shoulder the bulk of the burden.
A one-semester e-book subscription does require a change in expectations. Students cannot sell their texts at the end of a course, so buying one cant be viewed as a short-term investment to be cashed out. But as students show no attachment to textbooks in any case, the loss of access after semesters end seems likely to go unlamented.

The pregnant man is no longer pregnant ... and he's showing off his baby daughter to the world.
Thomas Beatie, 34, has released photos of his new daughter, Susan Juliette Beatie, to People magazine.
Beatie reportedly endured 40 hours of labor before a midwife delivered the baby naturally on July 3. And, after just four days at the hospital, the little one and her family were able to return home.
Beatie, who was born a woman but had surgery and gender reassignment which legally makes him male, decided to carry the child for his wife Nancy because she had a hysterectomy years before. However, Nancy is able to breastfeed the baby thanks to a process known as induced lactation.
Beatie says that he kept his reproductive rights because "wanting to have a biological child is neither a male nor female desire, but a human desire."Keith Walendowski told police he felt he had a right to shoot his mower.
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A 56-year-old Milwaukee man is accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start.
Keith Walendowski has been charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.
According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski says he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn't start Wednesday morning.
He told police: "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."
A woman who lives at Walendowski's house reported the incident. She says he was intoxicated.
Walendowski could face up to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted.
Making music from the back of a truck seems like a notion straight out of a strange cartoon, but for the Locke brothers of Truckback Productions it's a regular day at work.
Based in the container of a former moving truck, the studio of Truckback Productions is a stationary wonder. Owned and operated by brothers, Steven, Andrew and Adrian Locke, Truckback Productions drove full force into dancehall at the end of 2007 with the 'Gearbox' rhythm, featuring Erup's Click Me Finga, Harry Toddler's Don't Run In and other hits.
Cement steps lead into the back of the truck where a small, but equipped office is situated, complete with a computer with high-speed Internet connection. Then it's into the largest room (where the air conditioning is on full blast), which looks into a small voicing room. A keyboard, equipment, computer and mixing devices are littered around the main room, with the signatures of a number of artistes all over the walls and ceiling.
In the voicing room is a microphone, drums, keyboards and other instruments, as the producers prefer to work with live instruments.
While the space might be small, according to Steven a whole band can hold in the studio at one time. However, he joked that the voicing would have to done at a later point due to space challenges.
It was the force of nature that inadvertently caused the development of Truckback Studio in 2004. Adrian tells The Sunday Gleaner "the actual studio got started in 2004. We were doing pre-production inside the house, my father had the truck. When Ivan came it blew off the roof of the studio, so we moved into the truck two days after." full-time producing
The idea of moving into the truck came from Steven, who had seen, while in the United States, bands that practised in trucks and confined spaces and he expanded the idea to apply to a studio. For the brothers, music was always an interest having learned to play from some of the top names in the business including Marjorie Whylie, Jon Williams and Mikey Fletcher, among others. Among the three they can play the keyboards, guitar and drums.
Steven started the Kaushon Band, which broke up, before he began producing full-time.
After doing a lot of work with Elephant Man in the early days of Truckback Studio the trio decided to spread its wings. It started off by building two rhythms, 'Train' and 'Mous Mous', that got some response on the radio, but really hit it big with 'Gearbox'. From the onset, Adrian knew there was something special about it.
"I felt that buzz in the early stages; I felt confident in it. Didn't know it was gonna blow di world, but knew it was a good rhythm. It was not until we put out Gearbox and got the buzz on the streets that we decided to stick to the evil we know, producing," he says.
Since Gearbox, the group has given all its rhythms truck allusions, including the 'cl**tch', featuring Capleton's Gimme Di Tings, Spragga's Inna Di Club and Monster Empire's Di Tings. Its latest rhythms are called 'Oleaxle' and 'Springblade'. It is currently working on the album for its artiste Baijie, after having successfully got Monster Empire off the ground and doing the majority of dancehall songs from Trinidadian artiste Bunji Garlin.
Truckback Productions prides itself on its originality, as it won't work with someone who has a song written already, but prefers to work with people who will build a song for its rhythms in order to ensure a 'new' sound. For the future the brothers see themselves at the top of the game, always releasing new music.
Things did not turn out as planned for a man who attempted to break into a home in the Eastwood Park Gardens community of Kingston 10 on Friday morning.
The would-be robber was stopped in his tracks by a policeman, who happened to be present at the home. He was shot dead.
Reports are that about 3:30 am, the man who was attempting to enter the house through a window, was accosted by the policeman. The robber reportedly chopped at the officer, who backed away in order to escape the blow. The man reportedly kept advancing towards the policeman who then opened fire hitting him.
He was taken to the Kingston Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead. He has still not been identified.
I am a guy of just 24 years old, not much life lived, but I feel like I have been living a long time because of the fact that I became a man too soon.
I started out having sex at a very young age. I thought it was great that I could do that, but now I have a problem that I can't seem to get rid of. I can't find love, or should I say, I don't know how to love, or even if I can, I have become this person that only wants women for sex, and after I have got what I worked for, I keep moving on. I play women just like a game that I have played over and over again and know all the levels by heart, and they always fall for it.
In high school, I had girls in all grades, while I was just in first form. I have left Jamaica and this problem has followed me even here. I met a woman, who has been there for me for a long time, and I know she really cares for me, but I just can't stop wanting more new women. I treat her nicely and make her feel special, but that is how I treat every woman I talk to.
Pastor, I am miserable. I am not able to have one woman that I can say is truly mine and be faithful to her, but I am not in denial that I am addicted to sex. But the problem is, pastor, I am addicted to sex and new women. Please, help me.
P.K., Nassau, Bahamas
Dear P.K.,
Men who believe that they are sex addicts should seek psychotherapy. They are not just having a physical problem, but a mental disorder.
I therefore suggest that if you are serious about getting help, you ask your doctor to refer you to someone, who can go through the long process of therapy with you.
I must add that in the USA, there are support groups for sex addicts. I do not know if there are such groups in the Bahamas.

A documentary
If you have access to ARTE tv, and have some free time Tuesday evening, then don't miss this important documentary: "The World According to Monsanto".
A groundbreaking TV documentary about the chemical and biotech industry giant, Monsanto, airs for the first time on pan-European television station ARTE, March 11 at 9pm.
Made by French filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin, winner of the 'Albert Londres' award for journalists, the documentary paints a grim picture of the world's biggest and most invasive chemical and biotech multination that will leave you feeling angry.
US-based Monsanto provides 90 percent of the world's GM seeds -- and seems set on gaining complete control of the world's seed and food markets. By aggressively buying up seed companies, Monsanto will ensure that natural seeds are replaced with their genetically modified crops.
Because Monsanto's seeds are patent protected, farmers will not only have to pay for their seeds, they will become dependent upon them -- beginning the slide into poverty and being exposed to the health impacts of agro-chemicals associated with Monsanto's GM crops.
Numerous health and environmental nightmares have been linked to the company. Marie-Monique Robin traces Monsanto's disastrous legacy; interviewing witnesses from around the globe, confronting government officials and GM promoters, and trying to speak with Monsanto bosses themselves. Monsanto, of course, refused to provide an interview.
Mark your diary: The full movie will be broadcasted on ARTE TV (in French and German) on Tuesday 11 March at 21:00.

130,000 people joined our cyberaction against GM crops in Europe. Commissioners know we are watching them. But massive pressure from the GM industry and the European Commission's President Barroso is threatening to let GMOs pass into Europe, to roll over Environment Commissioner Dimas' objections and our rights.

A pastor of a church in rural Jamaica, who is also a supervisor at a boys home, has been charged with 30 counts of buggery, allegedly committed against boys at the institution.
The accused, who was originally charged with one count of buggery, appeared in the Richmond Resident Magistrate's court on Wednesday.
It was during the proceedings that it was revealed that other incidents had allegedly taken place between the accused and other boys at the institution.
After investigations, the pastor was slapped with 29 additional charges by the St Mary police.
The St Mary police confirmed that a man has been arrested and charged in relation to the allegations of buggery against children at the home but could not provide details.
The police said the accused has been remanded in custody and will return to court next Wednesday, July 30.
When contacted, Rasheda St Juste, communications officer at the Child Development Agency (CDA), which has responsibility for children who are in need of care and protection, said the CDA was aware of the latest charges that have been laid against the supervisor.
St Juste said the supervisor had been under investigation since March 2008 when the CDA reported a case of sexual abuse of a ward of the state to the police.
"The incident, which took place at the facility in February 2008, was reported to us by the victim himself," St Juste said in an e-mail response. "The CDA simultaneously began an investigation into the matter and reported the incident to the Office of the Children's Registry, as well as the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA). The manager has been on suspension since March when we made the report to the police. He was subsequently arrested, charged and released on bail."
St Juste said the child in the first case has been reintegrated with his mother and is receiving treatment from the CDA's clinical psychologist.
