Smiling and embracing supporters, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez flew home after sur-gery in Cuba for cancer that will require him to have radiation therapy ahead of October’s re-

The success rate so far, accord-ing to Dr Guevara Garcia, has been good, and in several cases, people suffering from cancer have been living longer, follow-
ing usage of the drug.
It would be distributed as an over
the counter product, thus not re-
quiring a prescription, due to the
natural products involved in its
production, Dr Guevara Garcia
said.
The Labiofam Entrepreneurial
Group, the medical & biological
research arm of the Cuban Gov-
ernment, is responsible for the
commercial development of the
drug.
The drug took 15 years to de-
velop in a Cuban laboratory after
scientists began research on the
properties of the scorpion.
Cuba is trying to get a drug devel-
oped from the venom of scorpions to
fight various cancers, on the shelves
of Jamaican pharmacies by the end of
the year.
Two Cuban officials are in Jamaica to help promote the drug, called Vida-tox, an extract from the Rhopalrus Junceus scorpion, which is indige-nous to the Socialist country, and al-ready they have held talks with gov-ernment officials as well as a major
distributor.
The Havana resident and former lec-turer in pharmacology at the Medical University of Havana said in an inter-view that the drug, taken orally, was a safe product, with almost no side-effects and is being used by thou-sands of people worldwide to help in the treatment of many cancers, in-cluding prostate, lung, breast, colon,
The central message from the just-concluded Caricom Sum-mit in Suriname is an assur-ance that the long recognised and recommended overhaul of the Community Secretariat
should soon get underway.
But there is a caveat. It may
involve a long route, at least
another five years, for a new
"strategic plan", which em-
bodies management reform
and implementation proc-
esses, to unfold with the in-
tention of arresting current
pessimism and cynicism about
the future of the 38-year-old
economic integration move-
ment.
The envisaged "change proc-
ess" in the restructuring and
functioning of the Secretariat
is to be subjected to the
"oversight"
of the Caricom Bureau, the so-
called management committee of
Heads of Government that meet
between regular annual summits
and inter-sessional meetings.
Governance of West Indies cricket and the elusive restructur-ing of the Georgetown-based Se-cretariat were two of the major agenda issues to prominently feature in a five-page commu-niqué on the two-day 23rd Inter-Sessional meeting of Caricom leaders that concluded in the Su-
rinamese capital, Paramaribo.
Cricket: As far as the recurring controversies over the central management of West Indies cricket are concerned, the com-munity leaders decided to have an "urgent meeting" between the Prime Ministerial Sub-committee on Cricket (currently chaired by Antigua and Barbuda's Baldwin Spencer) and the West Indies

Stanford found guilty
A Houston jury convicted Texas financier R. Allen Stanford on all but one of the charges he faced for allegedly bilking investors out of more than $7 billion in one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S. history.
The federal jurors found Stanford guilty on 13 of 14 counts he faced. They found Stanford not
guilty on one count of wire fraud.
The 61-year-old Stanford, whose net worth was once estimated at more than $2 billion, looked
down when the verdict was read.
He faces up to 20 years in prison for the most serious charges but could be imprisoned for much longer if a judge orders his sen-
tences be served consecutively.
Prosecutors say Stanford orches-
trated a 20-year scheme that
took billions through the sale of certificates of deposit from his
Caribbean bank.
Stanford's attorneys blamed his ex
-chief financial officer.
The verdict came less than a day after a Houston federal jury said it could not reach a verdict, and U.S. District Judge David Hittner instructed jurors to keep deliberat-ing. Still, the verdict may prove only a moral victory for Stan-ford's victims, most of whom have received none of their
money back.
The government's star witness, former Stanford aide James Davis, testified that he and Stan-ford faked documents and made up financial reports to calm inves-tors and fool regulators. They fun-neled millions of dollars from Stanford International Bank to a secret Swiss bank account that Stanford tapped for his personal
use, Davis testified.
Stanford's lawyers portrayed their client as a visionary who was not involved in his firm's daily activi-ties. They blamed Davis for any fraud and argued that Stanford's businesses were viable until the government shut down Stanford
Since his conversion, Brother Em-manuel – as he is now known - has been inspired to produce two gospel albums, often awakening in the middle of the night with melodies and lyrics racing through his mind.
The Monarch. King Short Shirt. Brother Emmanuel. Musical ambassador of Antigua and Barbuda.
Whatever you choose to call him, you can't help but marvel at this self-taught calypsonian whose near-prophetic music is arguably more relevant today than it was over 30 years ago. In1963 he copped second position with his rendi-tions of "Shakespearean" and "Straight Hair". By 1964, however, his awe-some talent could no longer be contained and he waltzed off with top honours singing "�o
Place Like Home" and "Heritage". Successive wins were secured in 1965 and 66, then again in 1969 and 1970. In all, he won 15 titles between 1964 and
1992 – his last year of com-petition – including 6 wins during his 'decade of victory' from 1970 to 1979. No calyp-sonian before or since has accomplished as much, and many feel the history of mod-ern calypso in Antigua is the history of Short Shirt's devel-opment. Like the biblical Saul, how-ever, Short Shirt's life was dramatically changed in 1997 when he received Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. Short Shirt claims he shed tears like a baby on the morning when Pastor Weldon Jarvis visited him. Somehow, he felt a searing guilt and decided there and then to dedicate the rest of his life to spreading God's Word to mankind.

Apple’s iPad has been a transformative tablet device, but it was cursed from the beginning with a low-
resolution display.
That changed today with the launch of the iPad HD, Ap-ple’s third-generation tablet, which adds an ultra-high resolution Retina Display

15.5 million iPads last quarter,
more than any PC manufacturer
sold in their computer lines.
The tablet also features a new
processor, Apple’s A5X, which
features quad-core graphics capa-
bilities.
As expected, Apple updated the iPad’s camera capabilities: It can now shoot 5-megapixel photos from a rear camera as well as 1080p video. The rear camera sports backside illumination (for better low-light performance), a 5-element lens, and a hybrid IR
filter.
Apple CEO Tim Cook un-veiled the iPad HD at a media event in San Francisco today, where he also announced an updated Apple TV set-top box. “We think the iPad is the poster-child of the post-PC
Two people, including a Ber-mudian national, will be sen-tenced later after they were found guilty at the Serious of-fences Court in a trial that had been dubbed the largest money laundering case in St Vincent
and the Grenadines.
Vincentian businessman Antonio “Que Pasa” Gellizeau and Ber-mudan sailor Winston Robinson were found guilty on two charges of money laundering, involving US$1.7 million in cash. Trinidadian Kent Andrews
was acquitted.
The men were charged after Coast Guard officials found the money concealed in vacuum packed bags on board the yacht,
Jo Tobin on April 5, 2008.
Andrews and Robinson were on board the yacht and were charged with breaching the Proceeds of Crime and Money Laundering
(Prevention) Act of 2001.
Prosecutors say that Robinson sailed the yacht from Bermuda to
St. Vincent.
But Robinson denied the money laundering charges and told the court that he had earned the cash while working in the hotel and
fishing industry.
After the guilty verdict was handed down, Bermuda Police Service is-sued a statement describing the
case as “significant and complex”.
“This conviction resulted from a multi-agency cross border investi-gation with fellow law enforce-ment agencies in St Vincent, Ber-muda, (the) USA and the Carib-bean region. It underscores the value of joined-up partnership working and highlights the value of shared intelligence,” Acting Su-perintendent Sean Field-Lament
said in the statement.
The yacht was owned by Gel-lizeau and the court granted an order restraining him from trans-ferring, selling, parting with or otherwise charging all realisable assets owned or controlled by him, whether in his name or not, whether solely or jointly owned or held, whether located in our outside of St. Vincent and the
Grenadines.
But High Court judge, Frederick Bruce-Lyle dismissed the claims, ruling that they were brought, in part, pursuant to section 1(c) of the Constitution, which, as a general provision, is not justicia-
ble.
The judge also ruled that the Pro-ceeds of Crime Act did not
amend the Constitution.
In their appeal, the appellants contended, among other things, that Justice Bruce-Lyle erred in holding that section 38 of the Constitution does not apply to Acts which affect fundamental
rights and freedoms.
But after hearing arguments from both sides, the Court of Appeal
