Dominican Republic to allow presidents to seek 2 consecutive terms

“We have assembled a majority that does not require bribes or having their conscience bought,'' he said.

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad _ Trinidad and Tobago is preparing to dissolve Parliament after setting a date for the general election.

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said Friday that elections will be held on Sept. 7. She expects to dissolve Parliament Wednesday.

Opinion polls suggest it will be a tight race between the ruling five-party coalition People’s Partnership and the opposition People’s National Movement.

The ruling party won 29 of 41 Parliament seats in May 2010. It has faced numerous corruption allegations as well as criticism for once appointing former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner as national security minister. Warner has founded another party and faces U.S. federal corruption charges as part of an ongoing FIFA investigation.

Trinidad and Tobago is one of the region’s most prosperous nations thanks to natural gas and oil reserves. .

Haiti electoral council releases final list of presidential candidates

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic _ Legislators on Friday approved a constitutional reform that will allow Dominican presidents to hold office for two consecutive terms.

The measure was approved 18139 despite heavy public opposition. Legislators had created a special assembly that voted twice in favour of the measure, which also bars a two-term president from running for vice-president in the future.

At least one legislator claimed he and others were offered some $350,000 to vote in favour of the project.

Legislator Victor Gomez with the

Opposition leaders and ruling party officials who opposed the measure previously reached a deal in which they were guaranteed certain positions and nominations in exchange for their support. More than 60 legislators of the ruling party who supported a potential run by former president Leonel Fernandez initially opposed the bill. Both Fernandez and Medina belong to the same party, and recent polls suggest Medina would have a better chance at winning the 2016 elections.

A Canadian travel company has signed a deal with the government of Antigua to build a $400 million all-inclusive resort project on the eastern Caribbean island.

Sunwing Travel Group says the 500-room hotel is slated to open in 2017 and will create 2,000 new jobs. Officials say construction of The Royalton Antigua Resort & Spa will begin this summer at Deep Bay. The company also plans to build 200 condominium units and establish new flights to Antigua with its subsidiary Sunwing Airlines.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti _ Haiti’s electoral council has released a final list of presidential candidates allowed to participate in the upcoming general elections.

Police accuse the man of trying to disarm the officer, while eye witnesses claim he was running away when he was shot.

Officials released the list of 58 names on Friday after rejecting 13 candidates.

Excluded from the list is former Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe. A judicial panel previously ruled that he failed to receive a government document certifying that he handled public funds appropriately while prime minister from 2012 until late 2014.

Dollar is a prominent African-American preacher based near Atlanta who has built successful ministries on the prosperity gospel. Ministers in this tradition often hold up their own wealth as evidence that the teaching works.

But it is going to be a long hot summer.''

Warner, a former FIFA vice and member of Parliament in his homeland, said Wednesday that he intends to resist extradition at a hearing scheduled for July 9. He faces charges that include racketeering and money-laundering. Authorities earlier confiscated his passport, fearing he might flee.

He is accused of taking payments totalling $10 million sent by a high-ranking FIFA official to give South Africa the right to host the 2010 World Cup over Morocco. Warner left FIFA in 2011 and has denied wrongdoing.

“After presenting my case in court, let the judge decide,'' he told

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands _ The ruling party of the British Virgin Islands has won the general election in one of the world's top offshore trust jurisdictions, according to preliminary results released Tuesday.

Officials said the National Democratic Party secured at least seven of 13 parliament seats, including two districts previously held by the opposition Virgin Islands Party.

It is unclear whether Julian Fraser will continue as chairman of the Virgin Islands Party since its constitution dictates that elections must be held for a new chairman if it doesn't win an election. Fraser could not be reached for comment, and Malone declined to comment.

The Virgin Islands Party struggled at the polls in part because several of its candidates faced legal problems, including one who is standing trial on charges of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.

Filmmaker drawing attention to 2011 comments by Bill Cosby calling rape ‘annoying’

LOS ANGELES _ A documentary filmmaker is drawing attention to comments Bill Cosby made in 2011 to her describing rape as “annoying’’ and saying victims’ only hope for freedom is through the court system.

The comedian, who has been accused by more than two dozen women of sexual misconduct, made the comments while discussing a project about bullying with filmmaker Cassidy McMillan.

McMillan provided audio of the hourlong interview to The National Enquirer and its partner, RadarOnline, which posted a three minute clip of Cosby’s comments on Monday.

Many of the accusations by women who accuse Cosby of drugging and raping them are barred by criminal and civil statutes of limitations and he has not been charged. Four women have sued the comedian for defamation after he denied their claims.

Usain Bolt calls performance in 200 metres at Adidas Grand Prix worst of his career

NEW YORK _ Usain Bolt called his performance in the 200 metres Saturday the worst of his career after he posted an uncharacteristically slow time in winning the race at the Adidas Grand Prix.

The last time he ran at this meet, Bolt set his first world record seven years ago with a stunning victory in the 100. But on Saturday, the six-time Olympic gold medallist was surprised and disappointed at how poorly he ran the curve and expressed frustration that his training hasn't been translating to strong showings in competitions.

Bolt had wanted to break 20 seconds for the first time this season, but he finished in 20.29 seconds Saturday. His world record is 19.19.

Bolt was still hopeful he can figure things out in time for August's world championships as he has in the past.

Canadian Andre De Grasse wins in 100 and 200 metre races at NCAA championships

NBA star Carmelo Anthony establishes new professional soccer team to his Puerto Rico home NASL Commissioner Bill Peterson, who was in Puerto Rico for the announcement, told The Associated Press that officials are interviewing potential coaches and technical directors as well as scouting for new players.

The club “will start taking a look at players not only from this region, but around the world,'' he said in a phone interview.

EUGENE, Ore. _ Canadian sprint phenom Andre De Grasse continues to tear up the track, winning both the 100 and 200 metres Friday at the NCAA track and field championships.

The 20-year-old from Markham, Ont., a junior at the University of Southern California, ran a blistering 9.75 in the 100 metres, then followed it up with a fast 19.58 in the 200 metres.

Both times were wind-aided, so don’t count for official rankings or records.

The wind in the 100 metres was 2.7 _ just over the legal limit of 2.00. The wind for the 200 was 2.4.

Donovan Bailey and Bruny Surin share the Canadian record in the 100 at 9.84. DeGrasse already holds the national 200 record of 20.03, set on May 16.

De Grasse didn’t take up track until he was spotted at a meet in Toronto by coach Tony Sharpe. He ran for Coffeyville Community College in Kansas before transferring to USC.

“It is an honour for me to bring back soccer to Puerto Rico, my beloved island, birthplace of my father,'' Anthony, who plays for the New York Knicks, said at a news conference in the U.S. territory. “To the thousands of fans in Puerto Rico that have been waiting for soccer to come back, I can promise a world-class organization in a world-class league.''

Puerto Rico FC is the NASL's 13th club and will play home games at the 12,500-seat Juan Ramon Loubriel Stadium in Bayamon. Details of the financial deal were not disclosed.

The U.S. territory's last professional soccer team was the Puerto Rico Islanders. It was founded in 2003 and last played in 2012. The team participated in the CONCACAF Champions League and won Caribbean Football Union Club championships in its last years of existence despite a steady drop in attendance at home games.

Peterson said he is confident the new club will be able to draw a large number of fans.

“I think it's a completely different time and a completely different ownership group,'' he said. “Soccer on the island is growing very quickly. It's a sport that's definitely on a pretty steep trajectory.''

The soccer team is Anthony's latest investment in Puerto Rico. He also has helped rebuild several basketball courts through his charitable foundation in recent years.

Tyrese Gibson and Rev. Run to make relationship series for OWN network

HALIFAX _ American rapper Snoop Dogg will be making an appearance in the next season of “Trailer Park Boys.''

NEW YORK _ Oprah Winfrey's OWN network says the “Man School'' is in session, with actor-musician Tyrese Gibson and Rev. Run as the professors.

The network announced Thursday that the two men will star in a prime-time series debuting early next year. It's based on the two friends' book “Man-ology,'' offering a male perspective on love and relationships.

This isn't the first time Snoop Dogg has crossed paths with Ricky, Julian and Bubbles _ characters played by Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith, respectively.

In April, the rapper retweeted a Trailer Park Boys tweet about changes to Nova Scotia's film tax credit and asked his 12 million followers to sign an online petition.

OWN says the series will feature a studio audience and celebrity guests in a “no-holds-barred relationship throw down.''

Gibson, a recording artist, is also known for his acting in “Fast and Furious'' and “Transformers.'' Run, the stage name of Joseph Simmons, was a founder of the rap group RUN DMC and now hosts a home renovation series on HGTV.

“The Kardashians are entertaining, but what we're doing is positive entertainment, which is supposed to not be cool. With my family, we're going to make it cool, because we've been cool our whole lives.''

The show, set to launch in NovemThe Associated Press ber on Reelz, will follow the single dad as he navigates raising his youngest children while his oldest carve out entertainment careers.

“Whatever the stereotype of what a hip-hop family looks like, we'll show them what it do look like,'' Master P said, acknowledging the reality could come as a surprise to fans of his music.

“My music is hard and street, but me, I'm more of a laid-back guy,'' he said. “The music is like my job, but when my job is over, I come home and am a dad to my kids, like Arnold Schwarzenegger in 'Kindergarten Cop.'''

We are so familiar with the concept of monkey see monkey do. Wealthy became wealthier because they were taught the rules of money, they were given a plan to succeed and they became accountable to a financial coach.

What would our lives be like today, if ten years ago we were taught the rules of money, given a plan to succeed and had a coach on our side?

Let's copy a great monkey.

Our focus of community development can only be accomplished by assisting each of our citizens to grow individually.

Financial Freedom is a privilege and not only for the priveleged.
