In the indictment, unsealed in the U.S. Southern District Court of New York late last month, Coke, 40, also known as “President” and “Shortman”, is charged with “conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana” and “conspiracy to illegally traffic in firearms”. The indictment further alleged that members of Coke’s “Shower Posse” traf- ficked in marijuana and cocaine in the New York met- ropolitan area and elsewhere, funneling the profits back to Coke, who the U.S. Justice Department has labeled as “one of the world’s most dan- gerous drug kingpins.” The indictment said Coke, a “businessman” in Jamaica’s (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4) Sept2009.qxd 9/2/09 2:58 PM Page 4 4 CARIBBEAN TODAY September 2009 www.caribbeantoday.com NEWS Court hears of ‘blood oath’ between Stanford, Antiguan financial regulator HOUSTON, Texas – A associates are accused of run- movement of vast sums of happen, it must have been spiring to obstruct an investi- United States federal court ning through Stanford-owned money at SIB, also said in the Davis’s fault.

  • A Baseline Analysis of Poaching in Chiquibul National Park
    A BASELINE ANALYSIS OF POACHING IN CHIQUIBUL NATIONAL PARK BY KATHERINE GROFF A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Fisheries and Wildlife ABSTRACT A BASELINE ANALYSIS OF POACHING IN CHIQUIBUL NATIONAL PARK BY KATHERINE GROFF Illegal hunting of wildlife, also known as poaching, in Chiquibul National Park (CNP) may be contributing to decreasing wildlife populations. Management strategies are limited due to a lack of information on the extent of poaching and motivations of poachers. The objectives of this research are to assess the extent of poaching, to address Guatemalan border community residents’ understanding of wildlife in CNP and what animal species are targeted by hunters, and to investigate factors affecting poaching in CNP and Guatemalan border residents’ perceptions about poaching in CNP. These objectives were addressed by (1) synthesizing information found in CNP Ranger field notebooks and reports, (2) interviewing Guatemalan border community residents, and (3) interviewing authorities in Guatemala and Belize. Guatemalan border community residents perceived a lower level of poaching in the CNP than CNP rangers, but both thought that poaching has decreased over the years. CNP rangers considered poaching to be a danger to wildlife in the area, and they thought that wildlife numbers have suffered due to poaching. This research demonstrated little support for the hypothesis that legal regulations and the enforcement of regulations are factors that contribute to whether respondents view other community members as contributing to poaching. However, the subsistence needs of hunters and their families is an important factor affecting residents’ decision to poach.

  • Escuela Del Albergue Olímpico: ¿Opción Viable Para El Atleta Puertorriqueño?,Proponen La “Ruta Del Deporte Extremo”,Culs
    Escuela del Albergue Olímpico: ¿Opción viable para el atleta puertorriqueño? La primera medalla de oro de Puerto Rico en unos Juegos Olímpicos, obtenida por la tenista Mónica Puig, provocó una gran sed de victoria entre otros deportistas y aumentó el deseo de los jóvenes en lograr colgarse las próximas medallas para la isla. Así como Puig, muchos buscan traerle gloria al país, pero para esto es necesaria una gran preparación, tanto mental como física. La decisión de qué tipo de entrenamiento escoger, si uno privado e independiente como la tenista, o uno a través de la Escuela Especializada en Deportes del Albergue Olímpico de Puerto Rico, puede ser la clave para lograr ese éxito que tanto se anhela. Tomando en cuenta el aspecto económico, la salud emocional del deportista y otros aspectos de vital importancia, Caribbean Business entrevistó a varios de nuestros atletas puertorriqueños para conocer su opinión en cuanto a cuál es la mejor opción. “Elegí prepararme a través de la escuela del Albergue [Olímpico] para seguir progresando. Estar allí me ayudó mucho por los compañeros que uno tiene, uno se motiva y se ayuda mutuamente”, comentó el destacado pugilista del peso ligero Félix “Diamante” Verdejo. El invicto boxeador, quien fue estudiante de la Escuela Especializada, ostenta un récord de 22 victorias, 15 de ellas por “knockout” y siete por decisión. Verdejo ha representado a Puerto Rico en diferentes escenarios deportivos, incluyendo los Juegos Olímpicos Londres 2012, en el que llegó hasta los cuartos de final. Aparte del apoyo mencionado por Verdejo, el director técnico de la Escuela, Fernando Casablanca, enfatizó que otra gran ventaja para el deportista recae en el aspecto económico, pues la Escuela Especializada sufraga la totalidad de los gastos del atleta.

He had previously represented Cruzeiro, Barcelona, Benfica and the Brazilian national side in the 2000 Sydney Olympics and 2001 Copa America tournaments. Geovanni wrote himself into Hull City’s history by scoring the Tigers’ first Premier League goal; a spectacular long range strike to equalise against Fulham in a 2-1 win. He is though, better remembered for another sublime goal from distance scored against Arsenal in another 2-1 victory.
