The U.S. wants Christopher "Dudus" Coke to be extradited by regular court committal means to the U.S., but Jamaican authorities are insistent that the American request is improper, based on flimsy evidence in unsealed documents to which local courts don't have access to act on before committing a local.

It is widely held that the visa cancellation was related to the "Dudus dispute," local newspapers reported in the last week.

While Jamaica continues to struggle under a heavy debt burden and to cut corners to meet its national budget, in November 2002, the PM forked out US$1,500 a night plus a 12.5 per cent gratuity payment for five nights in a New York hotel while on an official visit there. At that rate, the PM spent a total of US$8,437 or just over J$420,000 in the five nights. One travel writer on New York City hotels described rates shelled out by the PM in this manner: "If you want views of Central Park (New York) - expect to really pay through the nose (US$600-US$1,000 a night)." Local travel agents who did not want to be named for this story described the rates as, "hardly the average hotel stay". The information which was gleaned from official documents acquired under the Access to Information Act, p...

A list of the NIF quoted equity portfolio and its valuation, among documents secured by the Weekly Gleaner under the Access to Information Act, shows the fund holding $4.57 billion worth of listed shares at March 31 this year, down $1.2 billion from the $5.76 billion exactly one year before.
The list equity figures reflected no significant change in the fundís equity portfolio over the two years, although it marginally increased its holdings in a few companies in the financial services sector and in Caribbean Cement Company between 2007 and 2008, and the NIF said it did not sell any private shareholdings.
Among its biggest holdings in value - conglomerates Grace-Kennedy (more than nine million shares), Jamaica Producers (almost seven million units) and Lascelles (1.4 million) - the NIF ...

The Department of Labor (the Department) is amending its regulations governing the certification of the employment of nonimmigrant workers in temporary or seasonal non-agricultural employment and the enforcement of the obligations applicable to employers of such nonimmigrant workers. This Final Rule revises the process by which employers obtain a temporary labor certification from the Department for use in petitioning the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to employ a nonimmigrant worker in H-2B status. We have also created new regulations to provide for increased worker protections for both United States (U.S.) and foreign workers.
