Following Hurricane Melissa's devastation, Jamaica’s decade-long effort to build financial resilience will be tested.

RIP to Malcolm Jamal-Warner, who reportedly has died after drowning in Costa Rica at the age of 54.

For many of us, he was the brother we never had on The Cosby Show. He later appeared on shows like The Resident.

He leaves behind a wife and daughter.

This one hurts.

This planet is run by crazy people. Remember what they have to do to get where they are. Their perspective is so narrow, so...brief. A few years. In the best of them a few decades. They care only about the time they are in power.
