AP report: Trinidad grows hottest pepper in the world!
Trinidad Moruga Scorpion wins hottest pepper title
By SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP)
--There are super-hot chile varieties. And then there's the sweat-inducing, tear-generating, mouth-on-fire Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. [Moruga is the village in Trinidad where Christopher Columbus first landed.] With a name like that, it's not surprising that months of research by the experts at New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute have identified the variety as the new hottest pepper on the planet. The golf ball-sized pepper scored the highest among a handful of chile breeds reputed to be among the hottest in the world. Its mean heat topped more than 1.2 million units on the Scoville heat scale, while fruits from some individual plants reached 2 million heat units.

BREAKING: Former Trinidad PM Patrick Manning rushed to hospital with a stroke
Monday Jan. 23, 2012, around midnight.
Patrick Manning rushed to San Fernando Gen Hospital just before midnight with a stroke.Suffering with right side paralysis.
Wife Hazel Manning, Gary Hunt with him. Admitted just before midnight. In stable condition.
Via Trinidad Guardian
Patrick Manning has been a politician in Trinidad and Tobago for more than three decades and served as Prime Minister on two occasions. He has held the San Fernando West seat in Parliament uninterrupted for his entire political career for the PNM (People's National Movement) Party. A consummate politician, Patrick Manning was well regarded by many and vilified by an equal number.
His skills as a politician helped him to maneuver into PNM leadership during the mid eighties when the party, and the country, was in crises. He held the leadership until too much rhetoric and a series of bad decisions led to the PNM losing the last election, as well as the majority in the Trinidad and Tobago's House of Representatives. Once again he held his seat, San Fernando West. In the days after the elections in May 2010 he was removed as leader of the PNM.

T20 CRICKET: Trinidad beats Guyana by 7 wickets in the annual Caribbean competition.
Guyana was sent in to bat after Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) won the toss. Guyana managed to put up a respectable score of 101 despite a controlled economical bowling attack from T&T. In reply, Trinidad and Tobago steadily surpassed Guyana's run rate and reached the winning mark (104) with 17 balls to spare.
The result has catapulted T&T to the top of group A with 8 points and a commanding Net Run Rate of +3.08. Win one match remaining in group play for T&T, they are seemingly assured a place in the next round.
See the full score card: http://www.espncricinfo.com/caribbean-t20-12/engine/match/538741.html

FREE TRAINING: Invest in Yourself!
Awesome, I just signed up!
These guys promise you can learn enough code in one year to make your own apps or websites. http://codeyear.com/
I agree this is more useful than getting an MBA right now, or any other post graduate degree for that matter. The big shift has happened, EVERYONE will need this skill moving forward, just like you need math or writing, and that's not a prediction, its the reality of this new world we share.
