The local project director for Dr Devi Shetty’s proposed East End hospital and medical school has rejected as “factually incorrect “ a highly critical study of the scheme by a Cayman policy group.

“I’m not even going to respond to this,” said Gene Thompson, leader of local efforts to create the Narayana Hospital, medical college and assisted-living centre on 200 acres in East End’s High Rock area.

Authors of the study, he said, had never approached him to gain an understanding of the project, due to break ground in August for the initial phase of the $2 billion, 15-year project.

“It is so factually incorrect, so far off … How can someone deal with it on the basis of never sitting with me, without addressing it with me or understanding the financials?” he asked.

More than 30 fishing boats and their crews – a total of 111 anglers, set out to the high seas for the fourth Barcardere Classic one of the Cayman Islands Angling Club (CIAC) most exciting annual fishing tournaments.

With a total of $27,000 in prize money, each crew didn’t worry too much about paying the entrants’ fee. It was, after all, two days of what Cayman’s best fishermen (and women) love doing: going out to battle nature, and try their hand at catching some of the biggest fish around.

“More than 50 Wahoo’s were weighed in on the first day of the tournament. It was a great start to the 2012 tournament season,” said CIAC President Franklin Thompson. After the weekend was over, and sometimes many hours on the decks of their craft, there were generous prizes in each category.

A $6000 prize for the heaviest wahoo, weighing in at 67.7 lbs went to Eric Maierhofer of Runaround, and $3000 for the second-heaviest wahoo was won by Rob Jones of Strike Force. Third place in the Wahoo category and a $1000 went to Simon Wetherell of Team Tukka, with a 63.1 lbs fish.

Daniel Kirconnell of Blue Diamond won the top prize of $2,000 for the heaviest dolphin, at 27.9 lbs.

Second prize of $1,000 went to Leon Dilbert of Miss Nyah, with a 25.5lb dolphin.

Waylon Bush won $2,000 for the heaviest Yellowfin Tuna at 93.5 lbs, and Jason Powery of Morning Spirit won the second place prize of $1,000.

The prize for the Lady angler with the heaviest fish went to Jenny Elvidge. There were also prizes for the best Junior Angler, and a raffle for two tickets to any Cayman Airways destination, sponsored by the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism.

Wahoo! What a big fish

Recently published, the report by “The Cayman Islands Institute for Public Policy” appears to be dated between June and October 2011, although it bears no firm indication of when it was written or by whom, how the group is constituted or funded, who is involved or how it originated.

A Facebook page says only that the institute is “a Cayman Islands non-profit organisation established to provide independent analysis on matters of public policy and national interest,” while its “Guide to the Dr. Shetty MOU” carries no signature or indication of how the research was done. Efforts to contact the group through its “contact us” listing went unanswered yesterday.

Dr Shetty’s people point out there is no Memorandum of Understanding but instead a fully legal agreement has been signed.

The 11-page study concludes that Cayman is likely to lose “a minimum of US$12 million annually in potential revenue, works and services for the next 100 years”, and questions “massive concessions” made by government to attract

the project.Mostly critical of government,

the study laments the abdication of immigration and legal controls, and says the project “has no real long-term financial benefit” for Cayman, “save for those within the inner circle of this proposed venture.”

Dr Steve Tomlinson, founder of Chrissie Tomlinson Memorial Hospital, has long questioned the Shetty proposals, worrying about medical standards and quality of care.

“It seems to be a two-tiered system,” he said whereby medical qualifications for doctors at the Shetty hospital will not be assessed by the Medical and Dental Council, but “apparently, by politicians, by the government, and they seem to be listening”.

“They had to change the law to allow Indian qualifications,” he said.

Dr Tomlinson denied any affiliation with the Public Policy Institute, saying only “they are a group of young people” commenting on current issues. ”It’s one of the things they do. I am not a member,” he said.

Mr Thompson pointed to a number of inaccuracies in the study, however, agreeing, for example, the institute

had mischaracterised changes to medical malpractice laws, claiming government had “capped the general damages awards that a court may give to a victim of medical negligence in Cayman.”

The $500,000 cap, legislated last year, refers only to awards for “pain and suffering”, not to damages, which remain at the court’s discretion.

The study also appears to err in describing the phasing of the project.

Dr Shetty has said the August groundbreaking is for an initial 140-bed hospital, to be expanded ultimately to a 2,000-bed institution, accompanied by associated facilities.

Authors of the study, appear to accept that the first phase is the limit of the project: “While a model 140-150 beds is more in line with existing medical facilities (domestically and throughout North America),” they write, “this is concerning as the MOU specifically requires that Phase One must consist of a 2,000 bed multi-specialty hospital.”

Mr Thompson dismissed the criticisms: “This is just another grandstanding effort, and we are going to carry on. We have a project to start, a hospital to build and lives to save. We are not going to stoop to this.”

Telephone changes on the horizonLong awaited, long delayed and a victim of endless dispute, the freedom to change telephone services while keeping your number arrived yesterday -- except for a small problem: It didn’t.

No one is sure if the equipment works -- and it will take until 20 February to sort it out. And so it will not be until a Monday morning nearly three weeks from now that telephone customers in the Cayman Islands will be able to vote -- with their feet -- on the company they like best.

“We‘re absolutely ready to go. We want this because it’s all about choice for the customer,” said LIME Corporate Communications Manager Julie Hutton.

Called number portability, the service will enable customers to switch providers for mobile telephones, landlines, text messages, data, anything, while retaining their usual number.

The system has been credited globally with sparking competition among telephone companies vying for market share. The scheme generally lowers prices, spurs innovation and improves customer service. Business and individuals find it easier and cheaper to leave an inadequate provider because they do not have to change letterheads, telephone listings, calling cards, information packs or advertising.

The plan, involving heavy investment in staff training, fresh equipment and a complex routing system to sort through and direct calls, was supposed to start on 31 January. However, a last-minute fight erupted just before Christmas about the technology used for text messaging.

As LIME sought to retain the standard messaging system, Digicel sought another, saying portability was unlikely to work under the rival plan. When government’s watchdog, the Information and Communications Technology Authority (ICTA),

decided in favour of LIME, Digicel CEO Victor Corcoran said he needed “a timeline of up to three months to implement” the decision, and asked for a delay.

The ICTA refused the appeal, but, finally, just last Friday, 27 January, conceded that further testing would be required, saying “the authority has decided that it would be in the best interests of the public to defer commencement until start-of-business on Monday, 20 February 2012.,” and ordered the time be used “to ensure that your response to porting requests will be effective and efficient”.

“My understanding is that the development has been delayed by several weeks,” Mr Corcoran said on Monday.

“The ICTA believed the delay was warranted for testing.”

Dave Archbold, ICTA managing director, was tight-lipped, saying only “there are 10,000 things that need to be done. It’s a very complex job”, suggesting that the system needed to find, for example, if a dialed number belonged to LIME or Digicel, then had to route it through the system to the recipient.

Additionally, he said, while traditional routing systems encompassed billing, porting technology separated the two functions. “It’s a matter of what is acceptable or not to start,” Mr Archbold said. “You can port telephone lines, but not messaging? You can do domestic calls but not international? How long will it take to port a number? We are getting testing reports day-by-day,” he said.

Frans Vandendries, LIME vice president and head of the LIME, Digicel, Telecayman and Weststar consortium managing the project, was unavailable, but Ms Hutton said LIME had completed its testing, waiting only for “some issues” to be resolved by others.

“Without it, though, it could be a real mess, but we are ready, and while I’d hate to say this is the last delay, we certainly are hoping so.”

The Cayman Islands Youth Development Consortium’s (CIYDC) Celebrate Our Youth Day attracted high-level support with a host of senior government officials attending the occasion held Saturday, 28 January 2012.

Described as “a national celebration

of partnerships and opportunities” guests at the event included His Excellency the Governor Duncan Taylor, CBE, Mrs. Beatrice Taylor, several Cabinet ministers, Deputy Governor Franz Manderson, Attorney General Sam Bulgin, the Hon. Speaker of the Legislative Assembly

Mary Lawrence and Leader of the Opposition Alden McLaughlin.

“So many times we look at what is wrong with our students. Today the focus is on their successes and strengths. In this regard it is simply fantastic to see this concept being visibly supported by so many government, community and business leaders,” noted CIYDC Director Sylvia Wilks.

The event, which included a youth expo and awards ceremony, focused on the positive contributions made by young people, while also highlighting the many ways youth can become involved in their community.

It was initiated by CIYDC in January 2010 when the Hon. Premier McKeeva Bush, OBE, JP signed a proclamation to observe January as Support Our Youth Month.

This year’s event saw more than 40 youth organiaations, sports associations and schools at the exhibition.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Thirty people, most of them homeless, have died of hypothermia in recent days in Ukraine, part of a surge of deaths across eastern Europe as the region grapples with an unusually severe cold spell.

In all, at least 54 people have died from the cold in Europe over the last week.

Of the victims in Ukraine, 21 were found frozen on the streets, five died in hospitals and four died in their own homes, said Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Yulia Yershova.

Temperatures plunged to minus 23 C (minus 10 F) in the capital of Kiev and elsewhere in Ukraine, as schools and nurseries closed down and authorities set up hundreds of heated tents with hot tea and sandwiches for the homeless.

Kiev city administration head Oleksandr Popov ordered city schools and colleges closed beginning Wednesday through the end of the week, as temperatures are expected to drop to minus 28 C (minus 18 F).

“They will be on a break at least until Monday,” Popov said on his website.

In Poland, five people died of hypothermia in the last 24 hours, bringing the death toll from the cold to 15 in the last four days, the national police said.

Death toll from European cold spell hits 54

Officials investigating Illinois reactor shutdownCHICAGO (AP) — Officials are investigating the events surrounding a power failure at a nuclear reactor in northern Illinois, where steam was vented to reduce pressure after it shut down.

After the shut down Monday morning at Exelon Nuclear’s Byron Generating Station, operators began releasing steam to cool the reactor from the part of the plant where turbines are producing electricity, not from within the nuclear reactor itself, officials said. The steam contains low levels of tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen, but federal and plant officials insisted the levels were safe for workers and the public.

Diesel generators were supplying the reactor with electricity, though it

hasn’t been generating power during the investigation into what happened. One question is why smoke was seen from an onsite station transformer, though no evidence of a fire was found when the plant’s fire brigade responded, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokeswoman Viktoria Mitlyng said.

Exelon Nuclear officials believe a failed piece of equipment at a switchyard at the plant about 95 miles northwest of Chicago caused the shutdown, but they were still investigating an exact cause. The switchyard is similar to a large substation that delivers power to the plant from the electrical grid and from the plant to the electrical grid.

The commission declared the

incident an “unusual event,” the lowest of four levels of emergency.

“It was standard procedure that they would notify county officials,” she said. “There is always concern. But, it never crossed my mind that there was any danger to the people of Ogle County.”

Another reactor at the plant was operating normally.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A burgeoning population of huge pythons — many of them pets that were turned loose by their owners when they got too big — appears to be wiping out large numbers of raccoons, opossums, bobcats and other mammals in the Everglades, a study says.

The study, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that sightings of medium-size mammals are down dramatically — as much as 99 percent, in some cases — in areas where pythons and other large, non-native constrictor snakes are known to be lurking.

Scientists fear the pythons could

disrupt the food chain and upset the Everglades’ environmental balance in ways difficult to predict.

“The effects of declining mammal populations on the overall Everglades ecosystem, which extends well beyond the national park boundaries, are likely profound,” said John Willson, a research scientist at Virginia Tech University and co-author of the study.

Tens of thousands of Burmese pythons, which are native to Southeast Asia, are believed to be living in the Everglades, where they thrive in the warm, humid climate. While many were apparently released by their owners, others may have escaped from

pet shops during Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and have been reproducing ever since.

Burmese pythons can grow to be 26 feet long and more than 200 pounds, and they have been known to swallow animals as large as alligators.

Mount Trashmore is a dump in George Town but it is a

waste management facility in Bodden Town.If Government had plenty of money we would not even

be discussing this. The Waste to Energy option is the only solution to keeping the dump where it is at the moment. Even that is not a complete solution as the average recycling from such a facility like the Wheelabrator is 50% although this company says their goal is 60%. Goals are hard to score.

Despite what MLA’s Mark Scotland and Dwayne Seymour have publically stated that the dump in George Town will not be a dump in Bodden Town I cannot find it in my heart to actually believe they believe it. If the situation was reversed and the PPM was in power, and had proposed this same scenario, would these two MLA’s be shouting the same tune? Perhaps someone could ask them that.

It was not surprising they tried to shift the blame to the PPM for failing to address the landfill problem but they are way off the mark when they added, “the opposition and the Independent member had the audacity to use a serious issue related to the welfare of all Caymanians as a political football for political mileage.”

The main opposition to the dump, sorry I mean the waste management facility, is NON-POLITICAL!! It comes from your own constituents. The people you are supposed

to represent. And worse, you hide like frightened rabbits from meeting with them face to face.

It is not only governmental bodies that are silent. Silence is the name of the game in most large corporations. We don’t hear electricity. It is silent. Caribbean Utilities Company (CUC), Grand Cayman’s only supplier of electricity is also silent. On 28th January, 2011 there was an explosion at their works on North Sound Road. Two men were sent to hospital. CUC announced they would be conducting an investigation into what had happened and would produce “a comprehensive report”.

When?One of the men taken to hospital, Kurt Scott, had to be

flown off island with severe burns. There has been silence from CUC about his condition.

Why?The Department of Employment Relations told another

news media they had heard nothing new from CUC. “We too are anxiously awaiting their report on this tragic accident,” said their Acting Director Jennifer Smith.

A simple question to CUC asking them what measures have been taken, if any, to ensure a similar accident doesn’t happen again met with …….

Silence.Silence does not mean the problem will go away but it

often means it will be forgotten. The media is here to make sure it will not.

Man robbed outside his own homeiLocal NEWS

A man was robbed yesterday morning by armed thieves as he unloaded his car outside his house.

Two men, one armed with a handgun, threatened the man just before 4am on Templewood Street in George Town. Last month two pizza delivery men were robbed as they visited addresses late at night.

In similar attacks, also in January, a woman was mugged in South

Sound, and on Webster Estate’s Antoinette Avenue.

There were also robberies in West Bay and Palm Dale, George Town. At the time detectives warned people to be extra vigilant but wouldn’t go as far as to link the attacks.

In the latest incident the victim had cash and jewelry stolen.

A spokesman for the RCIPS said: “The male victim on arrival at his residence began to unload his vehicle, when he was approached by two men one of which brandished

a handgun.“The suspects made off on foot

with a sum of money and jewelry. No shots were fired and no injuries were sustained.

“The culprits were described as having Caymanian accents and were dressed in full black clothing. The victim was unable to provide any other description of the suspects.”

Anyone with information should call the George Town CID at 949-4222 or the Confidential Crime Stoppers number 800-8477 (TIPS )

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Police in northern Mexico have captured an alleged member of the Zetas drug gang who confessed to killing at least 75 people, including many who were pulled off buses, authorities said Monday.

Enrique Elizondo Flores told investigators 36 of his victims were bus passengers traveling through the town of Cerralvo, near the border with Texas, said Nuevo Leon state security spokesman Jorge Domene.

Elizondo was detained Jan. 20 in the town of Salinas Victoria, but authorities delayed announcing his arrest so they could verify details of his confession, state Attorney General Adrian de la Garza said.

Domene said the 35-year-old suspect told investigators that he had been working in the area at least three years and that he was in charge of killing members of the rival Gulf drug cartel heading to the towns of Cerralvo and General Treviño.

Elizondo and other gunmen last January began pulling passengers off buses as they arrived at Cerralvo’s bus station, Domene said. They are among at least 92 bus passengers the Zetas are accused of killing in three attacks in January and March 2011. Many the victims were originally from

the central state of Guanajuato and had arrived in Cerralvo from the border city of Reynosa, Domene said.

Elizondo was known “for torturing, maiming and then killing his victims,” Domene said.

Last year, authorities in the neighboring state of Tamaulipas unearthed 193 bodies from clandestine graves in the town of San Fernando. Security forces said they were led to the site by members of the Zetas who confessed to kidnapping and killing bus passengers traveling through the area.

The motive for the bus abductions remains unclear. Prosecutors have suggested the gang may be forcefully recruiting people to work for it or trying to kill rivals they suspected were aboard the buses.

Northeastern Mexico has been engulfed by a turf battle between the Gulf Cartel and the Zetas since they split in 2010.

More than 47,000 people have been killed nationwide since President Felipe Calderon launched a crackdown against drug traffickers in December 2006.

Global Financial Integrity, a program of the Center for International Policy, a Washington-based think tank, said Monday that its analysis found

that $872 billion in proceeds from crime, corruption and money-laundering had flowed out of Mexico in the four decades from 1970 to 2010.

In the border city of Ciudad Juarez, police officers killed three men and detained a fourth Monday after being attacked at a gas station, authorities said.

The officers were refueling their patrol cars at a gas station a few blocks from the Zaragoza border crossing into El Paso, Texas, when they were attacked, a police statement said. The officers returned fire, killing three assailants, and they also seized two assault rifles, two handguns and a hand grenade, it said.

Last week, messages signed by the New Juarez drug cartel and left in several parts of the city claimed Police Chief Julian Leyzaola is favoring a rival cartel. It said that one officer would be killed daily if their members continue to be arrested. Five police officers have been killed since.

Leyzaola was not immediately available to comment on Monday’s attack. In a public appearance over the weekend, Mayor Hector Murguia said the recent string of attacks on law enforcement officers was a response from criminals affected by Leyzaola’s work.

“Go downtown, there are no more brothels where drugs used to be sold,” he said, referring to a police crackdown in downtown Juarez as part of the city’s efforts to combat crime.

As a safety measure, police officers are now required to leave precincts wearing street clothes and are allowed to take their guns home. The city also is considering plans to rent hotels to quarter all the police force.

In 2009, then Police Chief Roberto Orduña quit after several police officers were killed and their bodies dumped along with messages saying more officers would be killed unless he resigned.

Leyzaola is no stranger to threats. Shortly after he was hired in 2011, the body of a tortured man was left in a street with a message to Leyzaola that read, “This is your first gift.”

In April 2009, when he was police chief in western border city of Tijuana, drug traffickers took over police radio frequencies to say that if he didn’t quit, many police officers would die.

A few days after, seven officers were killed in separate but coordinated attacks. Drug traffickers took over the police radio frequencies again to say their threat had been carried out.

One of the world’s top audit firms has thrown its support behind a new sponsorship program aimed at bringing in much needed funds for Junior Achievement of the Cayman Islands.

The new ‘Corporate Ambassador’ program was launched by the new Junior Achievement board in the latter part of 2011. Mr Paul Byles, President of Junior Achievement explained that the new top tier sponsorship level would mean long term sustainability for the JA program.

“An ‘Ambassador’ corporate sponsor pledges to support Junior Achievement through an annual donation of $10,000 for a 3-year term,” said Mr Byles.

Junior Achievement is dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs. The programs help prepare young people by showing them how to generate and manage assets, create jobs which make their communities more robust, and apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace.

Mr Paul Arbo, Partner BDO

Cayman, said his company was proud to become a JA Ambassador as it was a great opportunity to participate in programs benefiting youth during BDO’s tenth year of business in Cayman.

“Junior Achievement provides a valuable support framework to enable students to realise their potential,” he said. “BDO is committed to the sustainability of this important initiative and the benefits it will bring, not only to participants, but also to their families, schools and the Cayman community.”

“Junior Achievement’s young people inspire us with their abilities and leadership skills and the contributions they make in our community will help define where the Cayman Islands heads in the 21st Century,” Mr Arbo said.

“The focus of the JA program is on nurturing and developing participants and building their educational ambitions by providing opportunities for social development, academic enrichment and personal growth,” Mr. Byles said.

“Young people represent Cayman’s future and it’s important we give them the encouragement and support they

need to make their mark,” he said. “The Junior Achievement program gives important skills to our future community leaders and I encourage the Cayman business community to support this worthy organisation by becoming an Ambassador sponsor.”

Junior Achievement is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in the Cayman Islands in 2012. It is supported by many corporate sponsors including its seven Corporate Ambassadors: HSBC, Rotary Central, Dunkin Donuts, Caledonian Global Financial Services, Maples & Calder, BDO and Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce.

Allergic reaction

There can be various kinds of allergies such as dust, pollen, medicines, food, insect, viruses or bacterial allergy. The allergic reaction may be a small skin rash on one spot or all over the body. The reaction happens when substances called antigen trigger immune system of the body. The function of immune system is to protect the body from harmful substances like bacteria. When the immune system senses harmful substances, it is called hypersensitivity that is also known as allergic reaction.

Generally, allergic reaction is not dangerous to life but it may cause end of life in severe cases. One of extensive form of allergy is

anaphylaxis that appears sudden and leads to shock, problem in breathing or unconsciousness. It happens because of sudden dilation of large blood vessels. The blood pressure often drops under this condition, and consequently, may cause cardiac arrest or death.

The most common symptoms include skin redness, itching, swelling, blistering, weeping, crushing and rash. Symptoms may involve coughing, shortness of breath, swelling of face, swelling of eyelids and lips, tongue or throat swelling, sneezing, red or watery eyes, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea.

The cause of allergic reaction is a chemical process inside the body. The immune system contains white blood cells producing antibodies.

When antigen exposes the body, it causes reaction.

You must go and consult your doctor for any allergic reaction. As a stop-gap, to food allergy, a person should avoid the food that caused problem. For seasonal allergies, necessary precautions should be made at the right time. Similarly, in case of a skin allergy, the particular area should be treated with ice or cold water.

There are a number of stories concerning who was St. Valentine but most have a common thread – Rome and Claudius II.

In ancient Rome, February 14th was a holiday to honour Juno. Juno was the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women and marriage. The following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia.

The lives of young boys and girls were strictly separate. However, one of the customs of the young people was name drawing. On the eve of the festival of Lupercalia the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw a girl’s name from the jar and would then be partners for the duration of the festival with the girl whom he chose. Sometimes the pairing of the children lasted an entire year, and often, they would fall in love and would later marry.

Under the rule of Emperor Claudius II Rome was involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns. Claudius was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He believed that the reason was that roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome.

Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who, with St. Marius and

his family aided the Christian martyrs and secretly married couples. He was apprehended, and sent by the emperor to the Prefect of Rome, who, on finding all his promises to make him renounce his faith ineffectual, commanded him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards, to be beheaded, which was executed on February 14, about the year 270. Claudius had taken a liking to Valentine until he tried to convert the Emperor to Christianity!

Archaeologists have unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to Saint Valentine. In 496 AD Pope Gelasius marked February 14th as a celebration in honour of his martyrdom.

The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in The Nuremberg Chronicle, a great illustrated book printed in 1493. Alongside a woodcut portrait of a man called Valentinus was a text stating he was a priest caught marrying Christian couples during the reign of Claudius II.

Legend has it that while awaiting his execution, Valentinus restored the sight of his jailer’s blind daughter. Another legend says, on the eve of his death, he penned a farewell note to the jailer’s daughter, signing it, “From your Valentine.”

Valentinus was buried at the Via Flaminia north of Rome.

The Saint Valentine that appears in various martyrologies in connection with Feb 14 is described either as:∙ A priest in Rome∙ A bishop of Interamna

(modern Terni)∙ A martyr in the Roman province

of Africa.English eighteenth century

antiquarians Alban Butler and Francis Douce, suggested that Valentine’s Day was created as an attempt to supersede the pagan holiday of Lupercalia. This idea has lately been contested by Professor Jack Oruch of the University of Kansas. It is a fact that many of the current legends that characterise Saint Valentine were invented in the fourteenth century in England, by Geoffrey Chaucer and his circle, when the feast day of February 14 first became associated with romantic courtly love.

Chaucer wrote:For this was on seynt Volantynys day

Whan euery bryd comyth there to

chese his make.

Translation: “For this was Saint

Valentine’s Day, when every bird

cometh there to choose his mate.”

The modern cliché Valentine’s Day poem can be found in the collection of English nursery rhymes Gammer Gurton’s Garland (1784):The rose is red, the violet’s blue

The honey’s sweet, and so are you

Thou are my love and I am thine

I drew thee to my Valentine

The lot was cast and then I drew

And Fortune said it shou’d be you.

Valentine’s Day is now big business. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately 190 million valentines are sent each year in the USA. The rise of Internet popularity at the turn of the millennium is creating new traditions. Millions of people use, every year, digital means of creating and sending Valentine’s Day greeting messages such as e-cards, love coupons or printable greeting cards. An estimated 15 million e-valentines were sent in 2010.

In most Islamic countries Valentine’s Day is banned. And I thought love broke down all barriers but then the Christian philosophy is based on love.

St. ValentineOur Eye OPINION



The RCIPS have done a terrific job of heightening awareness here on driving under the influence of alcohol even if there are idiots who take no notice. One of the unspoken related problems of drunk driving is drivers falling asleep while intoxicated. Now there is a new epidemic, drivers driving under the influence of the prescription sleep medication such as zolpidem (Ambien, Stillnox).

In the USA it has become almost an epidemic. Ten state toxicology labs that

test for the presence of zolpidem rate it as one of the top ten drugs found in impaired drivers. In the Cayman Islands we do not even test for the drug. In the USA zolpidem had over 28 million prescriptions issued in 2010 with $2.5 billion in sales.

Following their arrests many of the drivers claim to have no recollection of getting behind the wheel. In many of the cases the drug was taken incorrectly either as an overdose or in addition to other drugs such as alcohol!

Bizarre behavior often accompanies the misuse of the drug. The label warns

of combining the drug with alcohol and possible sleepwalking side effects. Those warnings apparently have been relatively ineffective because broad misuse continues.

Additionally, sleep apnea and other sleep disorders that continue to grow provide another source of drivers falling asleep at the wheel. A study showed that people with sleep apnea were seven times more likely to have multiple car accidents.

If you are taking zolpidem be extra careful when driving and don’t drink alcohol! Not even one.

With an ambitious goal to raise $30,000 in scholarship funds to assist financially strapped students, the International College of the Cayman Islands is seeking a new record for its 11th annual Hugh Cummings Memorial Walk next month.

Event organizer and admissions director Anita Fausett-Khan acknowledged the school was setting an ambitious goal for scholarship funds, but says she is confident there were firms and private donors that would be interested in contributing to such a worthwhile cause. “The economic downturn has had a significant impact on many of our students,” says Ms. Fausett-Khan. “Numerous students are trying to balance going to school and raising their families and the unstable economy has made it difficult to make ends meet. Many have lost their jobs but are still in school and they need some extra help to pay for tuition and books. The Hugh Cummings scholarship fund can be just the thing that will keep them going so they can finish their degree and make them more competitive in the job market.”

Students, alumni, faculty and the wider community are all invited to join the walk set for Saturday, 11 February with a 6.30am start. The walk will start at the International College campus in Newlands-Savannah and continue on a route that includes Pedro St. James Castle. The early morning walk is about 5km. Refreshments will include fresh fruit, coffee, juice and patties.

This year’s design for the Memorial

Walk T-shirt features the local saying ‘Come so walk wid me nah!’ which means ‘Let’s come on a walk together.’

“This theme really captures the community spirit of the Hugh Cummings Memorial Walk with a touch of humour. So I really encourage participants to register early, because these will be really special and there will only be a limited edition printed so once they are gone, they are gone,” added Ms. Fausett-Khan.

To participate in the walk, a minimum donation of $15 is requested receive a commemorative T-shirt.

“While we want to raise money for the scholarship fund, we also recognise that not everyone has the same budget. So we encourage people who have the means and feel strongly about providing quality college education in the Cayman Islands, this is the time to open their hearts and be generous to our scholarship fund,” says Ms. Fausett-Khan.

“One of the nice things about this Memorial Walk is that it starts at the location where tertiary education was

born 40 years ago and continues on to Pedro Castle where democracy was born more than 150 years ago in the Cayman Islands,” said International College president, John Cummings, PhD. “So there is a strong sense of ongoing history with this walk. It also gives students, alumni, faculty and members of the community who have supported us over the years to come out and do something practical that helps students get their degrees.”

Dean Scott Cummings said: “The founder of the school, Hugh Cummings cared about helping those in need so this scholarship fund is about helping students in financial need. This scholarship is an integral part of honouring Hugh’s spirit of helping those in financial need.”

Walkers can register early by contacting the Admissions office at the International College. For participants who wait until the day of the event, registration starts at 6am on 11 February. For more information about the event, contact Anita Fausett-Khan at 947-1100 or [email protected].

Job burnoutOur Eye OPINION

An article appeared in TechReplic (www.techrepublic.com) recently by Scott Lowe under the heading “10 things IT pros do that lead to burnout”.

It was so interesting and the majority of the ten things listed apply to most of us in the workplace that I thought I would share some of them with you. I urge you to visit the TechRepublic website and read the whole article yourself.1: Never say noAs the saying goes, “You can’t please all of the people all of the time.” Trying to do so will result in certain failure due to over commitment, missed deadlines, and having everyone upset in the attempt to make everyone happy. Instead, commit to pleasing “some of the people some of the time,” through existing governance structures.2: Skip the vacationAmerican workers get and use less vacation than our global counterparts. This is a travesty. Time away from the office is absolutely essential for recharging the batteries and renewing the spirit. Failure to “get away from it all” leaves workers with no opportunity for renewal and can also negatively affect family and personal relationships.3: Skip lunchLunch is about more than lunch. Everyone needs food to make it through the day, and that short break can be as good as a 15-minute catnap in helping you remain productive the rest of the day. 4: Work insane hoursLogic would seem to indicate that you could accomplish twice as much in 80 hours per week than in 40. At some point, more time results in diminishing returns. If you push it too much, you’ll end up constantly tired and sick and not doing anyone any good. 5: Disregard family timeThose with families who attempt to forgo family time will pay the price in a lot of ways. Stress levels will increase as they try to make up for this lost time. And those all-important family ties will begin to suffer, leading to an

employee who is bitter and disengaged and wondering why he can’t ever eat with his kids. 6: Fail to watch your healthHow many of you exercise every day? How many of you watch every calorie you eat? How many of you weigh more than you did when you started your current job? Do what you can to get some exercise (take the stairs, walk to lunch, etc.) and try to eat better and not chow down on junk food while you work.

The Mayo Clinic says “job burnout is a state of physical, emotional or mental exhaustion combined with doubts about your competence and the value of your work.” It asks you the following questions:• Have you become cynical or

critical at work?• Do you drag yourself to work and

have trouble getting started once you arrive?

• Have you become irritable or impatient with co-workers, customers or clients?

• Do you lack the energy to be consistently productive?

• Do you lack satisfaction from your achievements?

• Do you feel disillusioned about your job?

• Are you using food, drugs or alcohol to feel better or to simply not feel?

• Have your sleep habits or appetite changed?

• Are you troubled by unexplained headaches, backaches or other physical complaints?

If the answer is “yes” to any of those questions you could be experiencing burnout and the Clinic advises you to consult your doctor.

Stress is the number 1 factor in job burnout although some stresses get you going and are good for you. It is important to know how your body and psyche function and which situations trigger your stress responses. This understanding can be used to raise and lower your tension level as needed. Personal power comes in knowing that, although you may not like the difficult situations, you CAN handle them. Such feelings enable you to rise to the occasion and to handle difficulties skillfully rather than by avoiding problem situations. Relaxation allows the body to repair, rest, and prepare for optimal functioning. With practice anyone can learn to use relaxation to control stress. Personal power increases when you can relax at will. For example, when faced with a crisis situation, if you can keep activation within the optimal range for peak functioning you will remain alert and have all your resources to draw on to deal with the situation. Confidence grows because you know you can remain cool regardless of provocation. You feel in command instead of helpless.

I have found laughing is also a big help to overcome job burnout and stress. Who was it who first said

“laughing is the best medicine”?

Red Cross prepares for disasterThe Disaster Management office at the Cayman Islands Red Cross (CIRC) geared up last week with their first monthly meeting for disaster volunteer responders.

With 33 volunteers in attendance, the meeting was held to discuss 2012 preparedness measures in order to ensure that each responder will be ready in the event of any natural or man-made disaster.

Preparedness measures include the cleaning and rotation of disaster relief supplies located in the 6 containers around the island. Over the past 6 years, the CIRC has been committed to each community of the Cayman Islands by positioning 40 ft containers in every district including the Sister Islands. These containers are stocked with items such as tarpaulins, tents, family and baby hygiene kits, cots, cleaning kits and buckets.

In 2010, the Department of International Development (DFID), a United Kingdom government department whose goal is “to promote sustainable development and eliminate world poverty”, approached the CIRC to manage

a regional warehouse that would be based in Grand Cayman. This warehouse (located in the Industrial area) is also stocked with tarpaulins, tents, water containers to name a few. Not only can these supplies benefit residents of Cayman, but the warehouse itself serves as a training tool for CIRC volunteers and other community members who wish to gain a better understanding of logistics. In the event of a disaster in any of the (Caribbean) Overseas Territories, such goods would be sent to assist the affected persons.

This year, in collaboration with Hazard Management Cayman Islands (HMCI), the CIRC will once again be working to establish Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) to ensure that each community is well trained and prepared to respond to any emergency. Through training, community members will be able to identify various hazards and risks that they might be exposed to, as well as coordinate their resources and capacities.

In addition, the Disaster Management office will be tasked

to undertake other preparedness activities, such as the CIRC fleet and transport management, shelter & generator maintenance, overhaul of the communications system, and the establishment of framework agreements with trucking, DIY and catering companies. The CIRC Disaster Management team will also be focusing on preparedness/ training in schools and fundraising activities.

“In order to be effective, we must be both proactive and reactive when it comes to disaster preparedness, mitigation and response. We must ensure that the Cayman Islands

Red Cross has done everything in its’ power to engage with communities, government, schools and the general public before, during and after a disaster strikes, in order to minimize both human and economic loss” commented the CIRC Disaster Manager, Danielle Coleman.

If you would like more information on how to support the CIRC disaster management program or would like to become a volunteer, please contact Danielle Coleman at [email protected] or by phone: 9496785 (ext 22)/ 9263179.

Chief Justice Anthony Smellie has been appointed to serve on a committee of INSOL International, a world-wide federation of national associations for judges, accountants, lawyers and other insolvency professionals that specialises in corporate turnaround and insolvency.

The Chief Justice will serve on the Judicial Steering Committee, which will report to the Executive Committee of INSOL International on the furtherance of the work of the Judicial Colloquia of INSOL International. This follows last year’s address by the Chief Justice to the Ninth Multinational Judicial Colloquium, attended by some 80 judges drawn from 40 countries, and by a large number of insolvency

professionals from around the globe.

The judicial colloquium was part of a larger conference taking place in Singapore and jointly organized by INSOL, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), and the World Bank.

When he addressed last year’s judicial colloquium, the Chief Justice spoke on Cayman’s emphasis on adherence to international standards for resolving cross-border insolvency problems, and its cooperative thrust in that regard. The full UNCITRAL/INSOL/World Bank conference was attended by a large corps of insolvency professionals, for whom these activities form part

of a wider programme of continuing education. INSOL is a global accrediting body for insolvency professionals.

Chief Justice Smellie commenced his new judicial steering committee role last Thursday (26 January), when he joined his colleagues around the world for a conference call with the other organizers on the next INSOL Conference and Judicial Colloquium. These events will take place in The Hague, Netherlands, in May 2013.

Other responsibilities in the judicial steering committee will include building cross-border communication among judges, and advising on other matters of particular concern to the judiciary in different jurisdictions.

Chief Justice Anthony Smellie at the recent opening of the legal year

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Hear what Patriots quarterback Tom Brady told the pep rally before leaving New England for the Super Bowl? He got ‘em riled up by saying he hoped to come back as a winner, greeted by an even larger crowd.

Wait, don’t yawn! Sure, it’s not the most controversial comment, not even close to a foot-in-mouth moment. But it can’t be overlooked.

For this Super Bowl rematch, Brady’s tame words are about as trashy as it gets.

The Patriots (15-3) and the New York Giants (12-7) don’t have any bad things to say about each other. Even if they did, their coaches wouldn’t allow it. Bill Belichick and Tom Coughlin are long-time friends who share the same old-school philosophy when it comes to saying anything about the opposition.

Zip it. Tight. Or else.“Players have personalities, and

they are who they are,” Coughlin said Monday, shortly after the Giants arrived from New York. “You want a certain amount of that on your football team, but you don’t want someone who puts themselves in a position to hurt your team. So there’s a standard there with how flexible you are.”

By Super Bowl standards, it’s extremely tame.

The most memorable moments leading up to the title game have been delivered by players willing to say exactly what’s on their mind. Joe Namath started it with his guarantee of a Super Bowl win, back in the days when etiquette called for players to say nothing even remotely inflammatory.

As the culture of the game changed — more trash talk, touchdown celebrations and look-at-me moments — the Super Bowl became the big stage for the biggest mouths. During the title game of the 2005 season, for instance, Seattle tight end Jerramy Stevens ignited a back-and-forth with Pittsburgh’s Joey Porter by suggesting Seattle was going to win. Porter shot back that Stevens was a “first-round bust” who was “soft” and would end up “on his back” a lot during the game.

The trash talk made for a lively week capped off by the Steelers getting the final word with a win.

The Giants did a little trash dressing

when they played the then-undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl four years ago, arriving in Arizona in black suits to show they were serious about ending New England’s bid for a perfect season. Eli Manning led a late touchdown drive for a 17-14 win.

When they arrived for the rematch on Monday, the Giants’ clothes were as subdued as their words — no statements anywhere.

“Honestly, for us, that ‘07 thing was kind of like us coming together as a football team,” defensive end Justin Tuck said of the “Men In Black” look. “We just said we wanted to kill a dynasty, and that’s what they were. But now, we’ve been here before and we felt as though all that is secondary.”

Their coaches have to be pleased.Belichick is known for cracking down

when one of his players spouts off. Last year, receiver Wes Welker sat out the opening series of a playoff loss to the Jets after he made several foot and toe references — subtle digs on Jets coach

Rex Ryan, the subject of foot-fetish reports in New York.

This season, Belichick muzzled longtime self-promoter Chad Ochocinco, known to do anything — including changing his name — to get attention when he was in Cincinnati. The receiver has been on good behavior this season after arriving from the Bengals in a trade, wanting to play in a Super Bowl rather than cover one for his social media network.

So, Ochocinco has followed the team philosophy, which receiver Deion Branch summed up on Monday.

“Do what’s right, put the team first,” Branch said. “You’re not going to jeopardize what we have going here. Look at the big picture and put the team first.”

Coughlin sees it the same way, which is why his Giants weren’t about to instigate anything when they hit town. Coughlin’s philosophy, which he had printed on T-shirts in 2007: “Talk is cheap. Play the game.”

Ex-captain Michael Vaughan has urged England’s batsmen to be more aggressive in the final test against Pakistan after two dismal defeats in the UAE.

England have twice been bamboozled by the hosts’ spin bowling to lose the series inside two Tests.

“The biggest criticism of England’s second innings was that Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss let Pakistan bowl 12 overs for 15 runs,” said Vaughan.

“That sent a message to the dressing room that they were playing timidly.”

England were on top in the first three days of the Test, but cracked as they chased a modest 145-target to level the series - and Vaughan’s advice is to up the tempo.

“Kevin Pietersen and Eoin Morgan are aggressive players,” Vaughan told Radio 5 live. “And that’s the way they’ve got to play, even though it’s Test match cricket.

“Andrew Strauss has got to go down the more aggressive route too.

“When you look at Strauss, when

he’s playing well, he likes to dominate the ball and get on top early.”

England coach Andy Flower said on Sunday that he is not afraid to drop a batsman for the third Test, but Vaughan is unconvinced about the need for making changes at this stage of the tour.

“In terms of selection, I wouldn’t panic just yet,” he said. “The team that played, played well for three and a half days.

Andy Flower challenges England’s batsmen to learn quickly

“I don’t see where you are going to gain by dropping Eoin Morgan for the last game.

“Just say ‘Look, we have got a trip to Sri Lanka in a month’s time. If you want to be on that plane, you have got to perform in Dubai.’

“I’d stick with the same team and say you have got to play better.”

After losing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, England must win the final Test on their return to Dubai to be certain of holding on to the number one spot

in the Test rankings beyond 1 April, but Vaughan concedes that will now be a tough task.

“It’s going to be hard in Dubai,” said Vaughan. “I understand Saeed Ajmal will be harder to read there, because there’s a big shadow which goes across the ground and it will be harder to see the ball coming out of hand.”

Vaughan says England need more aggression

Chelsea sign Genk winger – then give him back!Chelsea have completed the signing of Genk winger Kevin de Bruyne for a fee believed to be £6.7m.

The 20-year-old has signed five-and-a-half-year contract at Stamford Bridge, but will be loaned back to the Belgian side for the rest of the season.

He told the club website: “To come to a team like Chelsea is a dream but now I have to work hard to achieve the level that’s necessary.”

Meanwhile, Blues striker Philipp Prosenik, 18, has joined AC Milan.

The Austrian has moved to the San Siro for an undisclosed fee.

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas had insisted the arrival of De Bruyne was nothing to do with him and that it was down to “club policy for the future”.

He explained: “It’s a target that’s decided by the club, that I knew about for quite some time.

“In the sense that it’s the club policy for the future, it’s the right thing [to buy him] and I’ll do everything in my power for him to reach

maximum potential.“But it’s down to the club in

decision-making. I’m a manager who respects club policy.

“A club has to look to the future, whether it’s with this manager or another. He’s a good bet for the future.”

De Bruyne scored five goals last season as Genk were crowned Belgian champions for the third time.

He has played twice against Chelsea this season, appearing for Genk in the 5-0 Champions League group stage

defeat at Stamford Bridge and again in the 1-1 draw at the Cristal Arena.

De Bruyne added: “I have signed now and I will go back for six months on loan to play some games and gain more experience.

“Next season it would be normal to be loaned out, but I will start the preparations here at Cobham, and if it goes really well maybe I will stay but probably it will be a team a little level less than Chelsea but bigger than Genk.”

Government’s learn-to-swim programme is back on track with the newly-appointed Coach Chester Hurlston promising to make a big splash. For Coach Chester sports have always been a big part of his life, prompting him to turn this passion into a profession.

After returning from college in Knoxville, Tennessee (which he attended on an athletic scholarship), with a bachelor’s degree in child psychology, he taught physical education at Grace Christian Academy and coached in government’s after-school sports programme.

Ambitious and energetic, his talents did not go unnoticed and he was drafted for the Cayman Islands Swim School late last year, taking up

his position this January.“Sports have always been my

thing plus I love working with kids. This new position allows me to pursue both passions and I couldn’t be happier,” Coach Chester remarked. Commenting on the new appointment, Minister of Sports the Hon. Mark Scotland said: “The learn-to-swim programme is very important to my ministry as every young child should have the opportunity to learn to swim. I am very pleased that we are able to revitalize it and extremely pleased that a young Caymanian has been hired to get the programme back on track.”

While the Swim School will continue to focus on improving young swimmers, Coach Chester

hopes to also centre his energies on creating a programme for those children who cannot swim at all.

“It would be great if we could teach every child to swim. The Swim School gives everyone access to swim instruction. Growing up, I did not have the privilege of learning to swim in a pool. For most of us, the ocean was our training ground. This is such a great opportunity, I hope

parents will take advantage of it,” he noted.

Registration for the after-school swim programme is now open on a first-come, first-served basis with a nominal registration fee is payable. This term will only feature weekday classes which are scheduled to start on Monday, 6 February. For more information call the Department of Sports at 949-7082.

MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James and Dwyane Wade each scored 22 points, Mike Miller added 14 off the bench and the Miami Heat shook off a slow start to run away from the New Orleans Hornets 109-95 on Monday night.

James added 11 rebounds and eight assists for Miami, which won for the eighth time in nine games and ended up with six players in double figures. Chris Bosh and Norris Cole each scored 12 for the Heat, and Mario Chalmers added 11.

Miami was down 45-33 midway through the second quarter, then outscored New Orleans 76-50 the rest of the way.

Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry each scored 14 for New Orleans, which lost for the 17th time in 19 games after a 2-0 start. Emeka Okafor scored 13 points and Greivis Vasquez added 11 for the Hornets, who only managed 25 rebounds — the lowest total in the NBA this season. Miami had 39 rebounds, and James had more by himself than any two Hornets combined.

There were all sorts of indicators suggesting that Miami would get off to a less-than-ideal start.

It was Miami’s third game in four nights, though all were at home. Monday’s tip-off came about 24 hours after Sunday’s down-to-the-wire epic against Chicago, where the Heat win wasn’t secure until 0.1 seconds remained. And the second night of back-to-backs have been trouble all season for Miami, which had been 3-3 in those contests — including both of its home defeats, those coming against Atlanta and Milwaukee.

So sure enough, the Heat started slowly — and found themselves in a 12-point hole against a team with the worst record in the Western Conference.

New Orleans made 10 of its first 11 shots, then used a 16-6 run in the second quarter to build what was a 45-33 lead after Xavier Henry connected on a 3-pointer. With that, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra called time-out.

Whatever he said in that huddle worked wonders.
