EVERYONE has a story to tell and Earl Cooke is no exception. The taxi driver began his tale three years ago, at the age of 57, with the release of Love is a Treasure, a self-published anthology of romantic, religious and cultural poems. Cooke is currently gearing up to release a second collection as well as a CD of his poems set to music.Many persons will argue that Cooke, a taxi operator and a self-taught writer, has some nerve, especially in a climate where writers are churning out X-rated tales of lust and sin or books riddled with social commentary. .

Back in the 1980s, IBM and its centralized computing model was the bogeyman that had to be defeated. Distributed computing, which later evolved into client server computing and finally the internet was the answer. Believe it or not, at the forefront of that revolution was Microsoft with its PC on every desktop philosophy. Today, however, Microsoft has become the very same bogeyman that IBM was in the 1980s. However, Microsoft's enemy is not the intransigent adherence to a proprietary centralised computing model or even its own proprietary distributed computing model. Microsoft's problem is its lack of innovation and, more specifically, innovation in the area of web services. That problem stems directly from its human resources policies. Try as it might - and it has tried - Microsoft just cannot seem to make an impression in areas outside of its legacy money spinning areas of Windows, Office and to a lesser extent database management systems.New machinery to alleviate AG backlog
State-of-the-art technology will now allow law enforcement officials in Grand Bahama to sit in on the Attorney General's Swift Justice meetings.Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Allyson Maynard-Gibson, said at the Swift Justice June update that Commissioner of Police, Paul Farquharson, has given his consent for the Freeport police team to participate in Swift Justice discussions by way of video uplink. Mrs Maynard-Gibson added that this technological connection will serve as yet another effort in the programme, as it moves to fulfil the duties and obligations that it has set out to do.
"We at the Office of the Attorney General welcome this, as it will enable the Freeport team to participate in Swift Justice meetings," she said. "We expect that the outcome will [result in the] more effective use of court time and [a] greater success rate in prosecutions."
The AG added that these steps are critical to enhancing the success of the Swift Justice process and project and will aid them as they also seek to give details to the public, as Bahamians are entitled to understand the process.
Off the Beaten Path, Bush Takes a Detour to Graceland
While it's the first time a sitting president has taken diplomacy from the Oval Office to the Jungle Room, it's the latest in a long line of work-related sightseeing trips by the executive branch.Long before Richard Nixon admired the Great Wall of China and Ronald Reagan lifted a pint in Ballyporeen, Ireland, Theodore Roosevelt blazed a trail to Central America, becoming the first president to take a trip abroad, according to the State Department. His visit? A 1906 trip to inspect the construction of the Panama Canal.
Though Reagan and other presidents have used sites such as Berlin's Brandenburg Gate as breathtaking backdrops to important speeches, some, like Bill Clinton, savored the meet-and-greet with the locals.
