As I sit here at my computer on this very dreary Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I am in a semi-fog in regards to the importance of wins and losses in the sports world. There is a tragedy, an almost unimaginable tragedy that has occurred in the Western Hemisphere. Yes I am talking about the almost "genocidal" non-response to the "army" of "grim reapers" that has invaded the small impoverished Afro-Caribbean country to the south of America, Haiti. [Pat Robertson] said in a nutshell that "something happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. Napoleon the Third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you get us free from the prince.' True story." And so the devi...

USA Today would get an unspecified per-copy licensing fee.

A collective decision has been taken to increase land cultivation in Guyana, Suriname, Belize, Jamaica and Trinidad to grow rice, corn, sorghum and cassava specifically to produce feed for an industry that needs 750,000 tons of produce annually. Caribbean people consume chicken 85 percent of the time over fish, pork and venison. The proposals were tabled at the weekend Caribbean Agricultural Business Forum in Guyana that was aimed at attracting commercial investment in a sector that critics say was neglected in favor of tourism and other services. Admitting that the days of cheap food and animal feed are about over and stung by skyrocketing prices in the past two years, Caribbean poultry producers have, asked governments and commercial banks to back them in a bid to put 150,000 acres of...

Examples of Afro-Latin musical influences can be heard in the American popular culture landscape: Dizzie Gillespie's Afro-Cuban jazz ensembles; Tito Puente and his niece Sheila E.'s influence on Prince's earlier Revolution sound; Celia Cruz collaborating with hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean for "Guantanamera"; and even actor Desi Arnaz playing the "Baba Lu Aye" on early episodes of I Love Lucy. For Hollywood to produce movies that deal with Afro-Caribbean dance and label it "dirty" or "forbidden" is offensive, says [Marta Moreno Vega]. That's why the East Harlem-born founder of the Caribbean Cultural Center in New York created this documentary, "to combat the negative images and give our own history of the beauty of our traditions.

The newest tropical storm, Wilma, was drifting around the Caribbean Sea on Monday, 235 miles south of the Cayman Islands. Although sustained winds were only about 50 mph, the storm will likely produce some heavy rainfall on some of the Caribbean islands and will probably strengthen. There is concern that if it moves north into the Gulf of Mexico, it could turn into a strong hurricane and eventually threaten the Gulf Coast. Even though the hurricane season in the gulf and the Atlantic runs only through November, October can be a pretty active month. As we get farther into autumn, ocean-water temperatures gradually cool, and once they drop below 82 degrees, tropical storms and hurricanes will usually not form. But right now, the waters of the gulf are still plenty warm, and even if Wilma ...
