From Jamaica)Smoke!!!

  HAVING a famous father like Buju Banton does not
necessarily guarantee your musical exploits smooth
sailing. But for Markus Myrie, producing music is
something he always wanted to pursue.

At 17, the lanky Myrie is Buju's eldest son.
He has been making waves with productions on his
Markus Records label, which is based at his father's
Gargamel studio off Red Hills Road in St Andrew.

 THICK plumes of smoke covered large sections of the
Jamaican capital yesterday as a fire at the Riverton City
Landfill raged for a fourth day, posing a health risk to tens
of thousands of residents.

The severity of the smoke hazard resulted in the Ministry of
Health advising residents of Kingston and St Andrew and
sections of St Catherine, particularly those living in the
immediate vicinity of the Riverton Landfill, to take the
necessary action to protect themselves until the fire and
associated smoke are brought under control by emergency
teams engaged by the National Solid Waste Management
Authority (NSWMA).

Thick plumes of smoke hang over sections of Kingston as a
fire at the Riverton Landfill raged for a fourth day.

From Jamaica)Prince Harry's big Caribbean jaunt revealed

 Prince Harry hopes to line up in the starting blocks next to
sprinter Usain Bolt during his Diamond Jubilee tour of the
Caribbean and Central America next month.
The prince plans to meet the world's fastest man at his training
base when he visits the Jamaican capital of Kingston. It is
expected that Bolt,who defends his Olympic 100-metre title at
London 2012 this summer,will give Harry a few pointers about
starting a sprint but — luckily for the royal — not actually race him.
"We're hoping he (Bolt) will teach him (Harry) how to start,"
