A local evangelist is demanding a musical clash with Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel.

Evangelist Taylor, who didn't want the name of the church he attends published, says he wants Isaiah Laing, the promoter of the annual Sting show, to arrange a clash between himself and Kartel.

"I want Laing to organise that clash, because Mr Vybz Kartel has been leading the generation astray for too long and we have to stop him. He is deceiving them," said the evangelist.

He accused the deejay of several immoral actions: "He's high in the demonic world, says he reads The Da Vinci Code book ...," the evangelist claims.

"We need to trample Vybz Kartel, we're fed up of him now. Other pastors and I sit down and we listen to his songs, he is the one, there is a great force behind him," he further stated.

gun lyrics

He said in the deejay's music you can feel the power behind it. "His words are powerful. I want to clash him and after I beat him we will baptise him in the name of The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. We'll put him in the church and let him teach Sunday school," he said.

The evangelist said that Kartel is a well-educated young man, who is fooling around and not using his education in the right way. Pointing out how sensible the deejay was, the evangelist referred to his song Thank You Jah in which he quotes a section of the Bible.

He complained, however, that instead of doing more positive things, the deejay is passing on gun lyrics to the children.

"He sings that the barba boy run but the preacher will never run. We don't want the Portmore Empire, because once I get him, I get the whole Gaza. I will call him up and tell him that he's destroying the youths, the spirit of the Lord will speak through me. I want him to become a speaker for the Lord as he has the ability to turn Jamaica around. He's the only one we see with that power," he added.

repent

"We want him to surrender his life to the Lord. When I win we're going to bring him to Caymanas Bay and baptise him and put him in the church to preach the gospel. If he repents and turns his life to the Lord he will get back his visa," said the evangelist.

Taylor said Kartel is the only artiste he is interested in changing. "He is the only one I want. Mavado, Bounty Killer and all those others artistes are nothing compared to him. If we get him we get a whole multitude of young people back into the church. The church will be filled with young people because he's the leader of the next generation," he added.

According to the evangelist, "I will clash Kartel for free, no money, just want him to turn over him life and stop leading the youth in the wrong direction."

Efforts by THE WEEKEND STAR to get a comment from Kartel in reference to the evangelist's wishes, were unsuccessful up to press time.

Bounty

Last Tuesday, a mere two days before he was scheduled to perform at Reggae Sumfest 2010's Dancehall Night, deejay Elephant Man's Mercedes Benz was seized in a tax evasion operation. Elephant Man performed on his own, then in combination with Bounty Killer at the close of the latter's set with This Is How We Do It.

And on Saturday, during an unexpected appearance along with Mavado at the Sumfest press conference, held at the Iberostar Hotel in Montego Bay, Bounty Killer expressed his dissatisfaction with the relationship between taxation and government input into music.

"I don't see any development of the government towards music," he said, noting that an aspiring artiste cannot get a loan to assist in getting a demo done. However, Bounty said, "when you burst (buss) the taxman after you".

"At least some percentage must go back towards the revenue it come from," he said.

As he was on Dancehall Night, when Bounty was determined to speak on current issues to the audience, at the press conference he also addressed a number of matters. "I am the poor people's governor. I am always on the front defending the people," he said from the get go. Mentioning the killing of Voicemail's Oneil and Cobra being shot and wounded, the incursion into Tivoli and the then just ended state of emergency, he addressed the overall tone of Dancehall Night.

"This morning was really warm and together. I even big up Vybz Kartel over and over. We do not have to be friends and associates, but we have to live in the same alliance. We do not have to be in the same allegiance, but we are all Jamaicans," he said.

He continues to press for some consideration to be given to extending dancehall's official hours. "The 2 o'clock shutting down, it need to be addressed," he said, noting that in the Corporate Area consideration has to be given to other people. "But when we go over like Caymanas Polo Club, that is ridiculous. That is in the bush," he said.

And he advised the power that be "like how them go look for the bad guys in Tivoli, they must go look for the good guys. I want the government to be enforced with a state of urgency, just as they had a state of emergency".

Wyclef%20Jean_7-27-2010.jpg

Musician and philanthropist Wyclef Jean2b.gif to possibly enter the race for president of Haiti.

Several reports made this week have revealed that musician/philanthropist Wyclef Jean may possibly be considering running for president in his native country of Haiti.

Throughout his career Wyclef has worked on raising awareness of various issues in Haiti. He became one of Haiti's strongest supporters following the earthquake2b.gif that struck the country earlier this year.

While Wyclef did recently share with CNN2b.gif that he has filled out all the paperwork required to enter the presidential race, a statement made by Yele Haiti revealed that Wyclef has yet to make a decision on whether or not he will run.

Wyclefs commitment to his homeland and its youth is boundless, and he will remain its greatest supporter regardless of whether he is part of the government moving forward, read a statement made by Wyclefs organization, Yele Haiti2b.gif. At this time, Wyclef Jean has not announced his intent to run for Haitian president.

Wyclef has yet to respond publicly to reports of his possible presidential run. The deadline for candidates to declare themselves in the presidential race is August 7.

Its official! Clifford T.I. Harris Jr. married longtime girlfriend Tameka Tiny Cottle in a secret ceremony at a Miamimag-glass_10x10.gif beach courthouse earlier today, according to TMZ.

The couple has reportedly been dating since 2001 and is raising six kids together. When asked by Rap-Up in a previous interview whether Tiny, 35, was his best friend, Tip said, Yeah, absolutely.

The Atlanta rapper, 29, said he wanted to keep the wedding private when it did happen. We talked about wanting it to be our event instead of it being everyone elses event, so we just keep it to ourselves whatever we do.

While they already have a full household, T.I. would be happy to welcome more children into his big family. Ill have as many kids as I can, he said.

Thieves break into Dudus' house

July 30, 2010
Started By mafia70 Comments

THE palatial upper St Andrew home of deposed Tivoli Gardens don, Christopher 'Dudus' Coke was burgled this week. Police remain tight-lipped about the incident but confirmed that several appliances and items of clothing were stolen.

Quick action by the St Andrew North Police resulted in the recovery of several of the stolen items.

"We recovered some of the stuff including three flat screen televisions, other appliances and clothes. We will not say where the goods were recovered in order to protect the residents of that community," a senior cop in the division told the Observer.

Coke's three-storey house is located in the upscale community of Plantation Heights.

The cops say they have increased their presence in the area after they received information that several thugs loyal to Coke were seen there.

A blogspot which has accused and published a list of several local entertainers they claim are involved in homosexual affairs is creating quite a stir on the Internet.

The list, which includes deejays, artiste managers, businessmen, producers and disc jocks, was published on a popular blogspot on Wednesday night and consists of 20 primarily males, well-known personalities.

The blogspot claims to have evidence, in the form of pictures and video tapes, that suggest that the persons on the list are homosexuals.

The blogspot stated before posting the list, "for all who know how I do long time, if it's not confirmed I leave it alone. Many were named and I refuse to add them until I see proof to be fair to all. So this is the presently confirmed list."

Since the list was published a number of persons have commented on the blog about it, either in disbelief or in support of the list, wanting to see the proof for themselves.

On social networking site www.twitter.com, the list has been a topic of discussion. The operator of the blogspot is also on twitter and has been in verbal squabbles with at least two of the persons named on the list.

Efforts by THE WEEKEND STAR to talk to the operator of the blogspot has proven futile.



Who knows, the important thing to remember is that she did. According to the description on YouTube, she was arguing with friends and jumped down out of anger. Was she being overly dramatic? Maybe. Was she very close to frying on the third rail? Kinda. Were people pissed off? Definitely!

Jahna Sebastian is a singer/songwriter/producer in the UK that claims that she had a baby girl by Swizz Beatz.

According to a letter her friend shared with a website, Swizz is aware of the child as he showed up with Alicia Keys last year for a paternity test that eventually proved he was the father.

Anyway, the other day she may have posted subliminal shots at Alicia Keys on her blog. In a blog titled I give thanks for being a producer myself so I dont have to f*ck for tracks as if I was just a singer she concluded with:

Hearing about some of todays successful artists, who for their career sleep with producers jumping from one to another, break up marriages even when kids are involved and take everything for themselves with no sense of morality, building their image by speculating on sacred things, then get Grammys and worldwide promotion, I think to myself that somehow they get away with it too easy, but what is happening within their soul?

usain_bolt_record.jpg






Usain Bolt thinks about winning the gold medal more than setting another world record.

He worries about entertaining the fans as much as establishing a legacy.

Tracks fun-loving Jamaican star told The Associated Press he still believes 100 metres can be run in the 9.4-second range, but that his biggest goal at the London Olympics in two years will be simply to win the gold medal again.

Im always just happy with a gold medal, he said. If we go there and nobody breaks a record, Ill always have the record and theres no worries for me.

At Beijing in 2008, he smashed the world record in both the 100 and 200 and celebrated in style shooting that fake bow and arrow into the sky before the race, dancing after the finish line and turning the Birds Nest into his own private playground. He improved on his 100-metre record last year at the World Championships. It currently stands at 9.58 seconds and he thinks he can go lower.

I always say that probably 9.4 is possible, Bolt said. I hope I can be the one to get there because I work very hard and I want nothing but to be the best.

To be a legend, though, he doesnt believe hell have to set another record in London. Hell merely have to win.

I dont think Im a legend now, he said. A lot of people have done it one time. If I can double, few people in the world can say theyre double Olympic gold medallists. I want to be one of those few people.

Carl Lewis is the only male runner to repeat in the 100 at the Olympics.
Bolt is also looking beyond 2012, when he would consider competing in the long jump for a change of pace. Earlier this year, he said he might have to do something else because people are probably tired of seeing me.
People getting tired of Usain Bolt? Hardly seems possible.
I think definitely they can if you win all the time, he said. The reason people enjoy seeing me is because Im different from other athletes. Its fun to watch me. If I keep that up, they probably wont get bored. If I just win, win, win like a normal athlete and dont make it fun, they probably will.

One way Bolt is keeping things fresh is by changing his racewear for each of this years Diamond League meets in Europe. An artist in each city is designing a new singlet for him to wear.

People really enjoy it and its something to look forward to, he said. Its something new. I think people like it. Im the one who does things like this that no one else will do.

Bolt is scheduled to face Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell in the 100 for the first time this year at a meet next week in Stockholm.
Meanwhile, Bolt and Gay will race when Jamaica and the United States field teams in the 4×100 metre relay at the Diamond League meet in Zurich.

Organisers of the August 19 Weltklasse meet said yesterday that Olympic and world champion Bolt will anchor a Jamaica team including Mario Forsythe, Yohan Blake, and Marvin Anderson.

Gay, the second-fastest man in history behind Bolts record of 9.58 seconds, heads a US lineup featuring Walter Dix, Wallace Spearmon and Trell Kimmons.

Bolt and Gay are skipping the individual 200 at Zurich, which splits the Diamond League finals with Brussels the following week.

Bolt, Gay and former world record-holder Asafa Powell of Jamaica will race the 100 at Stockholms Diamond League meet next week.

Dancehall artiste Erup recently expressed that he wants to improve on his musical dominance locally after being missing in action for sometime, due to lengthy overseas touring and performances.

THE STAR caught up with the Harbour View-based deejay recently at Q45s studio during a recording session where he unleashed several new singles under his music productions Fully Govern Records, Big Pound and Izes Productions. For the past 16 months, or so, the deejay, born Kevin Saunders, has spent majority of his time on foreign soil.

Erup, known for the hit single Gal A Run Dem Head, said he took time from the local music industry to assess its direction, and is now fully convinced of what difference he can offer. During the time, mi stay back fi see weh di music deh and a go. Mi tek the time out fi think on how to build some new hits. he said.

Still recovering from a broken leg sustained in a motor vehicle accident in January, the injury has not deterred Erups determination and his ability. Mi leg did inna cast wah day, mi just a gwan tek time but nutten nuh stop Mi Still perform and record. he said.

five new singles

Erup since releasing Drop Dung, which was produced by Fully Govern Records and Bomb Squad, has since released five new singles, including the more popular How We Ride and a 10-track album, produced by Truckback Records. He is now focused on regaining his musical hype of 2005-06 following the success of Gal A Run Dem Head and Click Mi Finger.

The hit maker is working on promoting a new single called Gone Away. Di new single a fi di youth who can relate to it, and its a concept, nuff people ago like it, he said.

Erup is content on releasing a second album and a mix tape by year end, and said that the public can look for young artistes coming out of Fully Govern Records.

Deejay Elephant Man wants back his Mercedes Benz after what he feels was abuse by the Inland Revenue Department.

Last week, the deejay, born ONeil Bryan, got a rude awakening when the Special Enforcement team at the Inland Revenue with assistance from the St Andrew police swooped down on his house off Hope Road and seized his red Mercedes Benz. The operation was aimed at seizing assets to settle millions of dollars in unpaid taxes.

When THE STAR spoke to the deejays lawyer Roderick Gordon yesterday, he explained that his client is adamant about getting back his vehicle. He commented, Elephant Man wants back his car, he feels he has been abused by the authorities, and used as an example to the entertainment community, hes very upset about it.

According to Gordon, it was coincidental that the vehicle was seized last Tuesday, two days before Dancehall Night of Reggae Sumfest, which was held in Montego Bay.

delinquent

Gordon explained that the deejay had made a payment, in the millions, to the Inland Revenue at the end of March, with discussions made for him to continue making payments in the future. In March, the tax department had placed Elephant Man on a list of 50 high profile delinquent taxpayers.

He feels they are giving people the impression of him being a chronic delinquent which hes not, Gordon stated.

He told THE STAR that the deejay wants his legal team to look into his legal and constitutional rights concerning the matter. He elaborated that the legal team received all the documents from the deejay yesterday, after his slew of recent performances were over, and are now looking forward to proceed to the next step.

While they have not made contact with the Inland Revenue Department as yet, Gordon said they plan to contact them soon. Currently, they are looking into three options which includes a payment for the redemption of his vehicle, a settlement between the deejay and the Inland Revenue or to challenge their position through court proceedings.

Meris Haughton, the director of communications at the tax department, had previously explained to THE STAR that in cases like these, delinquent taxpayers have 10 days to pay off their arrears or the confiscated asset will be auctioned. She said if the proceeds from the auction does not cover the debt, the taxpayer could face criminal or civil charges.

CLEVELAND When Mike Wagner played his voicemail for NewsChannel5, he played a message from a man with a thick accent. Other than the accent, it was a typical call with a typical request to call back.

If Mike Wagner redialed the 876 area code to see what the caller wanted, hed get an international charges on his phone bill.

Caller ID saved Wagner money.

I see its 876 so I know its a Jamaica call, Wagner explained.

Jamaica appeared on two viewers phones as they got calls from an area code the FCC said is associated with scams.

Wagner began taking notes as he got one Jamaican call after another. The amount of the offer varies, but Wagners role never changes.

 

They wanted upfront money before they send me a check, Wagner said.

Wagner knows you dont have to pay money to get money, and didnt give the caller his bank account number. Wagner worries someone else may fall for it.

The outlandish offer is a red flag for me, Wagner said.

The Jamaican callers offer was a red flag for Pauline Robinson, too. She didnt win money. She won a car.

Who is going to give you a BMW for $189? It didnt make any sense, Robinson said.

Robinson said the caller wants her to wire money at Western Union. Robinson worries the low price tag may lure someone in.

$189 is not a lot actually so they might figure if I lose $189 its not that much, Robinson said.

Wagner found the calls funny at first, but now finds them ha****ing. He said theyve been coming in since May.

I think the guy should be stopped or blocked in some way, Wagner explained.

Blocking phone calls

Every phone carrier offers you different options when it comes to blocking numbers.

AT&T said its as easy as calling customer service.

Verizon said you can only block local calls. If an international call becomes a problem, Verizon has a Nuisance Call Bureau. It works with law enforcement and the FTC. Youre also advised to file a police report. Verizon said it has put tracers on an individuals phone line and worked with law enforcement and the long distance provider to shut down these international phone calls that wont stop.

Depending on the area, Frontier Communications may also offers tracing and assistance from its Nuisance Call Bureau.  In Ohio, you can call 877-462-8188 to request help with this problem.

Some of Time Warners products allow you to block incoming calls if the caller is anonymous, but these Jamaican calls have phone numbers. So, the calls still come through on Robinsons phone.

If you have been keeping abreast of current news and topical issues, you might have heard that Sandra Sandie Coke has been barred from Tivoli Gardens. Yes, you actually read that sentence correctly. She has been barred. For those who are not aware, Sandie Coke is the sister of alleged crime lord, Christopher Dudus Coke.

Sandra Coke turned herself into the Half-Way Tree police, escorted by Rev Al Miller on June 24, 2010. She was asked to turn herself in by the police, who labelled her as a person of major interest. She was originally detained for seven days, before the National Security Minister, Senator Dwight Nelson approved a request by the police to lengthen her detention by thirty days.

At present, Sandie Coke has been released from police detention. She was released on Saturday June 17, 2010, under rather strict conditions by the police. It has been reported that one of these conditions include staying away from Tivoli Gardens. I do not know for sure if this has ever been done before, but I find the situation quite out of the ordinary.

I have never actually heard of someone being restricted access to specific areas in Jamaica. Therefore, I do not know whether to agree or disagree with this condition. What do you think? Should Sandra Coke be barred from going to Tivoli Gardens? Does this condition go against any of her civil rights? Have your say

PARIS, France (AFP) -- Girls who are thin at the age of seven are at higher risk of breast cancer after menopause than chubbier counterparts and more vulnerable to a worse type of tumour, according to a Swedish study published on Wednesday.

The surprising conclusion is made by Karolinska Institutet researchers who looked at data from 2,818 Swedish breast cancer patients and 3,111 healthy counterparts.

"Large body type at age seven years was associated with a decreased risk of post-menopausal breast cancer," said lead researcher Jingmei Li.

"It appears counterintuitive that a large body size during childhood can reduce breast cancer risk, because a large birth weight and a high adult BMI have been shown to elevate breast cancer," Li added.

"There remain unanswered questions on mechanisms driving this protective effect," he said.

BMI means body mass index, a measure of fat.

A girl's BMI at the age of seven also drove the risk of so-called oestrogen receptive negative tumours, where the outcome is often less favourable than other cancer types, said the study.

The paper is published online in an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, Breast Cancer Research.

Soulja Boy Tellem celebrated his 20th birthday with a red carpet soirée and mini-concert at The Highlands inHollywoodmag-glass_10x10.gif on Wednesday night (July 28). The Pretty Boy Swag rapper made a grand entrance in all white, later removing his shirt onstage to reveal his tattoo-covered body.

His fans will soon have a new anthem to party to with the Boi-1da-produced Speakers Going Hammer, the second single from his forthcoming album The DeAndre Way. Its another hit, he tells MTV News.

Vybz Kartel - File

A local evangelist is demanding a musical clash with Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel.

Evangelist Taylor, who didn't want the name of the church he attends published, says he wants Isaiah Laing, the promoter of the annual Sting show, to arrange a clash between himself and Kartel.

"I want Laing to organise that clash, because Mr Vybz Kartel has been leading the generation astray for too long and we have to stop him. He is deceiving them," said the evangelist.

He accused the deejay of several immoral actions: "He's high in the demonic world, says he reads The Da Vinci Code book ...," the evangelist claims.

"We need to trample Vybz Kartel, we're fed up of him now. Other pastors and I sit down and we listen to his songs, he is the one, there is a great force behind him," he further stated.

gun lyrics

He said in the deejay's music you can feel the power behind it. "His words are powerful. I want to clash him and after I beat him we will baptise him in the name of The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. We'll put him in the church and let him teach Sunday school," he said.

The evangelist said that Kartel is a well-educated young man, who is fooling around and not using his education in the right way. Pointing out how sensible the deejay was, the evangelist referred to his song Thank You Jah in which he quotes a section of the Bible.

He complained, however, that instead of doing more positive things, the deejay is passing on gun lyrics to the children.

"He sings that the barba boy run but the preacher will never run. We don't want the Portmore Empire, because once I get him, I get the whole Gaza. I will call him up and tell him that he's destroying the youths, the spirit of the Lord will speak through me. I want him to become a speaker for the Lord as he has the ability to turn Jamaica around. He's the only one we see with that power," he added.

repent

"We want him to surrender his life to the Lord. When I win we're going to bring him to Caymanas Bay and baptise him and put him in the church to preach the gospel. If he repents and turns his life to the Lord he will get back his visa," said the evangelist.

Taylor said Kartel is the only artiste he is interested in changing. "He is the only one I want. Mavado, Bounty Killer and all those others artistes are nothing compared to him. If we get him we get a whole multitude of young people back into the church. The church will be filled with young people because he's the leader of the next generation," he added.

According to the evangelist, "I will clash Kartel for free, no money, just want him to turn over him life and stop leading the youth in the wrong direction."

Efforts by THE WEEKEND STAR to get a comment from Kartel in reference to the evangelist's wishes, were unsuccessful up to press time.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AFP) World 100-metres record-holder Usain Bolt will take on US sprint rivals Tyson Gay and fellow Jamacian Asafa Powell in the IAAF Diamond League meet here on August 6, organisers confirmed yesterday.

The race will mark the first time that historys three fastest men will compete together since the 100-metres final at last years World Championships in Berlin where Bolt set the world record, clocking 9.58, with Gay second in 9.71, then a US record, with Powell, the former world record-holder, taking bronze.

bolt-gay-powell_w370.jpg

It is a great pleasure to confirm and host this exciting race, said meeting director Rajne Soderberg.

It will strengthen the meetings positioning within the world of sports.

The race will also be the first of just two meetings between The Big Three this year, with the second clash set for the Diamond League final in Brussels on August 27.

The Stockholm meet is the 11th of the 14-leg IAAF Diamond League series.

Powell and Gay had previously been confirmed for the event, while DN Galan organisers had worked to secure the financing for Bolts participation.

Meet director Soderberg said yesterday it was a great pleasure to have the worlds top three sprinters running in Stockholm.

June 02, 2008. R&B singer Rihanna better watch her back - because former label mate Teairra Mari is fuming mad at her. In an EXCLUSIVE interview, MediaTakeOut.com spoke with R&B singer Teairra Mari about her relationship with Rihannna - and the controversy that has her ready to fight.

It all started a little over six months ago, when R&B singer Rihanna gave the following quote to Atlanta Peach magazine:
[My relationship with Teairra Mari] was a funny situation, but I always remained humble. I was not always treated in the best manor but I always remained who I was and I was always kind in the toughest of situations.

I was just the little Caribbean girl. You have to be good to people. I could very easily say [that what happened with our career's] its all karmaGod has favor on me and has blessed me


Well when Teairra Mari heard this - she was ready to open up a can of whoop azz on the Bajan beauty. Teairra Mari explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "First of all, I never thought there was any beef. Me and [Rihanna] only had positive encounters ... So naturally when I read that, I wanted to whoop her azz."

And according to Teairra Mari - had the two met up last fall - Rihanna would have gotten the whooping she deserved. The 20 year old Tearra Mari told MediaTakeOut.com, "I was a rebellious teenager. Anybody that said anything about me, I wanted to fight."

But Tearra Mari claims that she's since put on hold her plans on beating Rihanna - unless, that is, Rihanna continues talking sideways. The lovely songstress explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "I don't want to dwell in that. I'm a classy lady. But I'm not gonna take any nonsense and I'm not gonna let anyone throw a slap or jab at me without throwing one back."

A VAGINA STORY.....

July 29, 2010
Started By TBDGlamma7 Comments

Where is the G Spot?

You can locate the G-spot by using your fingers to explore the vaginal walls.

Mostly they feel soft, smooth and pillowy. On the front wall, the wall closer to the front of the body (on the same side as the belly), you can feel a wrinkly or bumpy area, like the seam where the satiny pillow was sewn together.

Theres no need to deep-sea dive this tissue is just inside the vaginal opening, about an inch and a half in. When aroused, thats the area that will swell to somewhere between pistachio and walnut size, and, for many people, becomes a place of intense sexual pleasure.

To begin your explorations, adopt one of the positions that make reaching your G-spot easier. Also, if you start when youre already turned on, the swelling makes the spot that much easier to find, and being turned on makes it a lot more fun!!!!

Bounty

Last Tuesday, a mere two days before he was scheduled to perform at Reggae Sumfest 2010's Dancehall Night, deejay Elephant Man's Mercedes Benz was seized in a tax evasion operation. Elephant Man performed on his own, then in combination with Bounty Killer at the close of the latter's set with This Is How We Do It.

And on Saturday, during an unexpected appearance along with Mavado at the Sumfest press conference, held at the Iberostar Hotel in Montego Bay, Bounty Killer expressed his dissatisfaction with the relationship between taxation and government input into music.

"I don't see any development of the government towards music," he said, noting that an aspiring artiste cannot get a loan to assist in getting a demo done. However, Bounty said, "when you burst (buss) the taxman after you".

"At least some percentage must go back towards the revenue it come from," he said.

As he was on Dancehall Night, when Bounty was determined to speak on current issues to the audience, at the press conference he also addressed a number of matters. "I am the poor people's governor. I am always on the front defending the people," he said from the get go. Mentioning the killing of Voicemail's Oneil and Cobra being shot and wounded, the incursion into Tivoli and the then just ended state of emergency, he addressed the overall tone of Dancehall Night.

"This morning was really warm and together. I even big up Vybz Kartel over and over. We do not have to be friends and associates, but we have to live in the same alliance. We do not have to be in the same allegiance, but we are all Jamaicans," he said.

He continues to press for some consideration to be given to extending dancehall's official hours. "The 2 o'clock shutting down, it need to be addressed," he said, noting that in the Corporate Area consideration has to be given to other people. "But when we go over like Caymanas Polo Club, that is ridiculous. That is in the bush," he said.

And he advised the power that be "like how them go look for the bad guys in Tivoli, they must go look for the good guys. I want the government to be enforced with a state of urgency, just as they had a state of emergency".

A United States geologist yesterday said a new active fault has been found in Kingston that poses a potential hazard, which can generate a major earthquake.

A fault is a crack or break in the earth's surface. Earthquakes occur on faults.

Dr Katherine Ellins, programme manager at the University of Austin in Texas, who was a doing research on the fault lines in the island, said that the new fault, which was found in Kingston Harbour, may be an extension of the Caymanas system and connects with the Plantain Garden fault system.

We think that this is an active fault but to confirm we need to take sediments core from around and in the Harbour, she said.

However, Dr Kelly said that Kingston is in a vulnerable area, hence the need for the Jamaican authorities to put measures in place to address an earthquake management programme.

Dr Kelly was speaking at a breakfast forum hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce of Jamaica at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in New Kingston. The aim of the forum was to bring stakeholders together to discuss Jamaica's earthquake risk and the country's capacity to cope with a major earthquake.

There is something about Vybz Kartel. Having been detained by local police for two weeks, and uncertainty surrounded whether or not he would appear on this year's festival, he became the most anticipated act on the line-up. Throughout the night it was clear that the majority of the thousands who packed the Catherine Hall venue were there for the Teacha. This became more apparent when at 5:00 am there was still a full park waiting for the arrival and performance of the artiste. So when he appeared on stage wearing an orange jumpsuit and handcuffed, it was clear he was in a no-nonsense mood.

Vybz-Kartel_w370.jpg


From the opening note he took charge of the Sumfest stage delivering the hits his fans had stood for hours in muddy conditions waiting for. In rapid succession he gave it to the eager fans, his arsenal included Boring Wine, Love Dem, Nuh Let Go, Virginty, Go-go Club, Bicycle, and Wah Yuh Know Bout Me.

Kartel was, of course, accompanied on stage by the members of the Gaza Empire and his high energy, infectious act was punctuated with tracks from Jahvinci, Shawn Storm and Popcaan, the latter with whom Kartel doubled for the popular Clarks.

There was no stopping the man born Adidja Palmer, who was able to claim the night by virture of his solid performance and the reaction and involvement of his loyal fans who only exited the park after he exited the stage.

Though he was the closing act, Kartel only capped what was a night of strong performances.

Among the night's other big winners were conscious crusader and one of the artistes dubbed a Next Generation act by telecoms giant, Digicel, I-Octane and young act, Khago. Once I-Octane stepped onto the stage at 2:45 am it was clear this was not going to be an ordinary performance by the man from Clarendon. He not only literally caught the venue on fire, as fans lit a huge bonfire in the middle of the muddy green, but was able to lift the spirit of the thousands inside Catherine Hall with his brand of music. This level of excitement was only matched by the huge roars of approval which rang out for Sumfest newcomer Khago. The man who is best known for his hit, Caan Cool, was able to woo his audience with a solid set which brought the Dancehall Night audience to its feet.

In general the artistes on the Dancehall Night line-up seemed to have come to the event with the intention to give their audiencess that little bit extra. Dancehall's bad gyal Ce'Cile brought on Budget! Twitter, Spectacular! Tanto Blacks, to enhance her set. D'Angel who worked a greatly improved set playfully incorporated Shady Squad dancers into her routine. Ding Dong was not leaving the members of his Ravers Clavers family behind. Stacious had the the audience in stitches as she had a 'little person' act out a scene from her hit Come into my Room, much to the delight of Catherine Hall. Hard-hitting deejay Aidonia also showed a softer side when he incorporated singer Aisha Davis for the sultry My Heart is Yours. Energetic Ele (Elephant Man) called on selector-turned deejay and the king of mix-up, Tony Matterhorn to add variety to his set.

However, the most entertaining addition to a set must go to female deejay Spice. She opened her act with a demonstration scene and quickly drew on the riddim for the Gyptian hit, Hold Yuh, taking it to Prime Minister Bruce Golding. Bruce mi waan fi as yuh if the Tivoli duppy dem and haunt yuh, Dis a the hardest time me eva face inna my life... But she did promise an exciting finale and her demand that someone help her get out of her high-high boots was definitely an indication of what was to come.

Once Ruff Kutt band struck up the riddim for her popular slim girl, fluffy girl combinatiion with Pamputtae it was clear, the fireworks was about to begin.

Clad in full black Pamputtae romped onto the stage declaring "Look how mi tick!," as she slapped her more that ample thighs. Spice then called for the "slimmas dem" and two svelte dancers appeared. Not to be outdone, Pamputtae summoned the "fluffy gal dem" and two fit fluffies ran onto the stage. What was to follow was nearly 10 minutes to feminine rivalry which included the night's MC, Miss Kitty who is known for defending the women with added pounds. In the ensuing battle the women danced, gyrated, 'flick' and did splits. Not even the huge speaker boxes and lighting towers were spared and both fluffies and slim girls battled out to the very end.

The night was also punctuated with tributes and honours. The first came with VoiceMail's performance. This popular act which is now performing as a duo following the recent shooting death of member O'Neil Edwards, 'livicated' their performance to him, opening with I Will Praise His Name, whch featured members of the KingstonCollege choir. It is clear that O'Neil's presence as the hype man in the group will be missed, but this will only allow for Kevin and Craig to step up their act.

This year, Summerfest Productions, organisers of the festival, chose to honour deejay Bounty Killer for his contribution to Sumfest and music in general. So the Warlord was feeling honourable and delivered a strong message, attacking some of society's ills.

His set dragged in parts but this did not phase the deejay who declared that he got his first forward in 1993, and was therefore not looking for any on Thursday night, especially as he was being honoured.

Kudos should go to other acts such as Mavado, Agent Sasco, Konshens, Kiprich, Chino and Tifa, who all greatly enhanced the dancehall night experience with their performance.

Moretimes I see quotes saying to forget about our past because we can't change it and rae rae


How important is it to incorporate our past into our present.


Why this a conflict when it's our history that determines how we currently live.
, On Wednesday July 28, 2010, 10:35 pm EDT

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A hacker has discovered a way to force ATMs to disgorge their cash by hijacking the computers inside them.

The attacks demonstrated Wednesday targeted standalone ATMs. But they could potentially be used against the ATMs operated by mainstream banks.

Criminals have long known that ATMs aren't tamperproof.

There are many types of attacks in use today, ranging from sophisticated to foolhardy: installing fake card readers to steal card numbers, hiding tiny surveillance cameras to capture PIN codes, covering the dispensing slot to intercept money and even hauling the ATMs away with trucks in hopes of cracking them open later.

Computer hacker Barnaby Jack spent two years tinkering in his Silicon Valley apartment with ATMs he bought online. These were standalone machines, the type seen in front of convenience stores, rather than the ones in bank branches.

His goal was to find ways to take control of ATMs by exploiting weaknesses in the computers that run the machines.

He showed off his results here at the Black Hat conference, an annual gathering devoted to exposing the latest computer-security vulnerabilities.

His attacks have wide implications because they affect multiple types of ATMs and exploit weaknesses in software and security measures that are used throughout the industry.

His talk was one of the conference's most widely anticipated, as it had been pulled a year ago over concerns that fixes for the ATMs wouldn't be in place in time. He used the extra year to craft more dangerous attacks.

Jack, who works as director of security research for Seattle-based IOActive Inc., showed in a theatrical demonstration two ways he can get ATMs to spit out money:

-- Jack found that the physical keys that came with his machines were the same for all ATMs of that type made by that manufacturer. He figured this out by ordering three ATMs from different manufacturers for a few thousand dollars each. Then he compared the keys he got to pictures of other keys, found on the Internet.

He used his key to unlock a compartment in the ATM that had standard USB slots. He then inserted a program he had written into one of them, commanding the ATM to dump its vaults.

-- Jack also hacked into ATMs by exploiting weaknesses in the way ATM makers communicate with the machines over the Internet. Jack said the problem is that outsiders are permitted to bypass the need for a password. He didn't go into much more detail because he said the goal of his talk "isn't to teach everybody how to hack ATMs. It's to raise the issue and have ATM manufacturers be proactive about implementing fixes."

The remote style of attack is more dangerous because an attacker doesn't need to open up the ATMs.

It allows an attacker to gain full control of the ATMs. Besides ordering it to spit out money, attackers can silently harvest account data from anyone who uses the machines. It also affects more than just the standalone ATMs vulnerable to the physical attack; the method could potentially be used against the kinds of ATMs used by mainstream banks.

Jack said he didn't think he'd be able to break the ATMs when he first started probing them.

"My reaction was, 'this is the game-over vulnerability right here,'" he said of the remote hack. "Every ATM I've looked at, I've been able to find a flaw in. It's a scary thing."

Kurt Baumgartner, a senior security researcher with antivirus software maker Kaspersky Lab, called the demonstration a "thrill" to watch and said it is important to improving the security of machines that can each hold tens of thousands of dollars in cash. However, he said he doesn't think it will result in widespread attacks because banks don't use the standalone systems and Jack didn't release his attack code.

Jack wouldn't identify the ATM makers. He put stickers over the ATM makers' names on the two machines used in his demonstration. But the audience, which burst into applause when he made the machines spit out money, could see from the screen prompts on the ATM that one of the machines was made by Tranax Technologies Inc., based in Hayward, Calif. Tranax did not immediately respond to e-mail messages from The Associated Press.

Triton Systems, of Long Beach, Miss., confirmed that one of its ATMs was used in the demonstration. It said Jack alerted the company to the problems and that Triton now has a software update in place that prevents unauthorized software from running on its ATMs.

Bob Douglas, Triton's vice president of engineering, said customers can buy ATMs with unique keys but generally don't, preferring to have a master key for cost and convenience.

"Imagine if you have an estate of several thousand ATMs and you want to access 20 or so of them in one day," he wrote in an e-mail to the AP. "It would be a logistical nightmare to have all the right keys at just the right place at just the right time."

Other ATM manufacturers contacted by the AP also did not immediately respond to messages.

Jack said the manufacturers whose machines he studied are deploying software fixes for both vulnerabilities, but added that the prevalence of remote-management software broadly opens up ATMs to hacker attacks.

Bisexuals living in Jamaica and those of Jamaican heritage living overseas, have taken their cause to the popular social networking site, Facebook.

Designed to create awareness of the persecution they face, the creators of the group, in a detailed description of the purpose of the page, said, "Lots of Jamaican men are gay or bisexual. Lots of Jamaican women are lesbian or bisexual. They're here.They're queer.They're not going away and they're not going to hide anymore! Please, my fellow Caribbean people, gays, lesbians and bisexuals of Jamaican origin are people too. They deserve human rights."

The group which had 106 members up to press time, both men and women, also provides a forum for gays, lesbians and bisexuals to interact with each other and seek companionship.

shared difficulties

One member of the group posted, " I'm a nice Jamaican lesbian girl seeking a female partner. Message me if you're interested." While another shared the difficulties faced by Jamaican lesbians. She wrote, "It's hard being a Jamaican lesbian, because they don't condone this in our country. But so what? We are who we are. As long as you love yourself, then that's all that matters."

Another user expressed gratitude to the group's creators for starting the page and said, "Hailing from Saint Andrew. I wish to say big ups to you guys for putting our struggle on the forefront. Being gay and Jamaican is not an anomaly. It is who we are."

The group, which is private for the most part, requires users to officially 'join' and request to be a part. At least one person on the page was seen requesting to be added. She wrote, " add me pplz".

Rain ends Heineken Igloo

Left: It was all fun and frolic before heavy rains brought Heineken Igloo to an end. Right: These two enjoyed the early vibe at Heineken Igloo. - Curtis Campbell photos

Patrons who turned out for Igloo last Sunday at Sugarman's Beach in Portmore were in for a surprise, after what appeared to be a night destined for lasting fun ended abruptly, due to inclement weather conditions.

THE STAR arrived at the venue at approximately 8 p.m. during the musical stint of Disc jockeys Mark Chin and Alpachino from Coppershot. The vibe was already at a semi climax as Elephant Man's Nuh Linga and Assassin's Dem Guy Deh had the massive crowd roaring in approval.

The musical genre was later switched to Hip Hop, and Dj Khaled's All I do is Win had hands and water bottles waving in the air.

At 9 p.m., the vibe was still intact, as patrons danced up a storm to Ding Dong's Holiday and Dj Liquid's Matie Stan Up.

However, when Richie Ras took over the turntables, he immediately encountered technical difficulties and the session had to be halted to fix the problem. The party would soon return to full swing, Richie Ras delivering an onslaught of 90s dancehall music, from the likes of Buju Banton and Shabba Ranks, much to the delight of the crowd.

The party had been going well, but at around 10 p.m., amidst all the fun and drama, the rains came down without warning, soaking patrons and the sound equipment, causing them to turn off the music.

With no music to keep the vibe going, the once happy patrons scampered to occupy the small area that provided covering for the selectors.

The situation became chaotic for one female patron who yelled: "Wey mi purse?" And a male patron replied: "from night yuh a dance wid man and have the heart fi a come ask mi fi purse, yuh nuh easy!"

Needless to say, while some patrons enjoyed the argument, many decided to head for the exit, by then most persons were soaking wet.
