It was all about the American Friends of Jamaica's Hummingbird Gala on Thursday night in New York, plus a bunch of happenings from around Jamaica.

Leave him alone!

1. Some people are suggesting that out-of-work speech writers are making not-so-subtle hints of wanting to help the new kid on the block. But what's so wrong with his wanting to speak from the heart - in his own words? Many say leave him to perfect his style.

Hot contest

2. Bets are on about the outcome of the hottest contest that is shaping up in the centre. On display are two of the biggest egos in politics today.

Power fuss

3. What were the two powerful women arguing about? Employees reported that a heated argument developed and names were called. Now isn't that the finest of what Jamaica has to offer?

Cheating ways

4. The so-called partner didn't realise that her cheating ways would soon come to light. There she was talking about paying out big bucks to contractors when they were not even being compensated. She should write a reflection to herself: Check-out contractors' connections before setting out to lie and cheat.
