Audobon's "Shutter Speed"
The Audubon Society turns 40 this year and as part of its anniversary celebration – they have put together a new photo exhibition. It’s called “Shutter Speed” and it opened last night at the Mexican Institute. Today we got a preview of the 53 photos which the Audubon Society says are snapshots from the 9 protected areas it co-manages. Audubon’s Publicity Officer Dirk Francisco took the photos and is in charge of the exhibition.
Dirk Francisco, Publicity Officer: “The name ‘Shutter Speed’ because it has something to do with a camera and because the photos are current photos. These photographs have captured history because some of what you see in the photos today, you might not see anymore or they could disappear forever."
CDB head disappointed at lack of CCJ support
CCJ building in Trinidad The president of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), Compton Bourne, says he is disappointed at the delay by most Caricom member states to fully sign on to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
Professor Bourne says the CDB raised funds for the Court, because it had been seen as key to the region.
Boutnr stated that there has really been no proper explanation of why most countries have not acceded to membership of the court.
Almost four years after its launch, only Barbados and Guyana recognise the Trinidad-based CCJ as their final court of appeal.
Remains of prehistoric snake found in Columbia

An artist's impression of what Titanboa cerrejonensis would have looked like
Scientists in Colombia have unearthed the remains of a true prehistoric monster believed to be the biggest snake ever to have lived on Earth.
Named Titanoboa cerrejonensis, the snake would have weighed 1,140 kilograms (2,500 pounds) and measured 13 meters (42.7 feet) nose to tail tip -- dwarfing the largest modern pythons and anacondas which can grow to 6 meters (19.5 feet).
Scientists believe it slithered around the planet between 58 and 60 million years ago.
Most large snakes today live in the tropical regions of South America and south-east Asia, where the high temperatures allow them to grow to impressive sizes.
