Former Grenada Lawmaker says Caribbean Crumbling under Poor Leadership and Divisive Politics
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 10 April 2014 10:33
- Written by Clive Bacchus
- Hits: 4318
St. Kitts and Nevis (WINN): The humanization of power is the main affliction affecting good governance in the Caribbean. That's the view of Joan Purcell, author of the book A Vision for Change.
"To begin with, power has been humanized...power resides in a man, either the Prime Minister - well I would say for our Caribbean region Prime Minister of President to a lesser degree. Power has been taken away from its moorings," she said Thursday, on WINN FM's Voices programme.
"Although...almost all our constitutions we say 'God is supreme,' but it's more lip service than anything. Power resides in a man, power resides in a party. Our politics have become very tribalistic, very, very divisive. The Cabinet has assumed more power than our Parliament and yet our Parliaments the bastions of democracy are the overseers of the Executive, but it seems to be the other way around now."
Ms Purcell also argues that politics is occupying too much space in the Caribbean societies
"Politicians offer more than they can ever deliver. The political sphere has overrun all the other spheres," she asserts.
"Whereas there should be varying spheres of governance like self governance where the individual through responsible living governs himself of herself. The Church government which should be the conscience of the state, and which should be willing to say yea or nay whether its beheaded or heeded. The sphere of civil governance, the population, the people, the electorate. We have all narrowed it down to an election every five years, putting a group in power who undo everything that was done before, and the Opposition on the other hand seeks to tear up everything the government does. The Parliament has become disrespectful and lacking in civility."
The former Government Minister and President of the Senate in Grenada, Ms Purcell also delivered a lecture in St Kitts recently on the issue. The bane of Caribbean development she contends, is poor political leadership
"I recently read an article published on April 5th 2014, talks about the gathering storm in the Caribbean by Jean H. Charles, and he talks about the fragility of our economies and...that they're really on a razors edge, on a knife edge...and just before that our own Prime Minister Kenny Anthony talked about Leaders in self denial even as the economic crisis worsens," she said.
"Our poor and bad politics is reflected more clearly, more obviously, where perhaps you cannot see - well except for corruption, corrupt practices and so on - where you see the Caribbean crumbling is in its economics because of the poor leadership in its politics in, its policies...etcetera."

One person is dead after their car collided with a grain truck Tuesday afternoon near the City of Cottonwood. The accident happened at the intersection of Highway 23 and Lyon County Road 9 just southwest of Cottonwood. The semi-truck, driven by 43-year-old Scott Glidewell of Ruthton, was westbound on Highway 23 when it collided with a northbound Cadillac at about 2:45pm. Both vehicles were destroyed by fire following the crash, and the name of the driver of the Cadillac will be released when a positive identification of their remains can be made.

This week, Timothy Jay added Nebraska coach Bo Pelini's private-turned-public outburst to a list of expletive-laden rants from coaches, athletes, celebrities and other high-pressured professionals that he's cataloged for years.
Jay is not a BuzzFeed reporter. He's a psychology professor who is interested in the expletive-laden part.
Jay teaches at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and focuses much of his research on the study of cursing — a whole bleeping lot. He's authored research papers and books with titles like "The Pragmatics of Swearing" and "Why We Cuss." He is currently compiling research on 1- to 12-year-olds who, like Pelini, are being secretly recorded, but in day care and after-school care settings.
Here's a preview: They all know a curse word or three.
"I don't think anybody that's raised kids is surprised," he said.
Jay, who is a faculty representative with MCLA's athletics department, has also studied the relationship between curse words and sports in a number of ways. He has appeared in "Autumn Ritual," an NFL Films production, to discuss the sailor-worthy language of the game, and how the right swear words at the right time can impact 300-pound football players.
"It's part of getting people motivated," Jay said. "You can't have physical aggression without some type of verbal aggression."
So when he heard Pelini's f-laden recording, he wasn't taken aback by the f's. Regarding the recorded rant, Jay credited the coach for expressing his anger toward writers and fans in what he thought was a private moment away from the writers and fans.
"I think that whole episode, it's kind of why we have swear words," Jay said by phone from his North Adams, Mass., office. "We're the only animal that can do that. We can say it rather than bite and scratch people."
Swearing allows you to vent frustration without physically harming anyone, he said, and it's a way that people can process an intense moment. He wrote in a research paper that swearing is like using a car horn. It can signify many different emotions — "e.g., anger, frustration, joy, surprise."
While the Pelini recording does not appear to signify joy, Jay, who grew up in Ohio when Woody Hayes coached Ohio State and occasionally punched people, said people should keep things in perspective when they get upset about someone using taboo language.
"I wish the Naval reservist would've swore instead of gotten a gun," Jay said.

The epic struggle of the Hiigarans and their leader Karan S'jet continues. Many thought their hardships would end when they returned to Hiigara, yet fate has not been so kind to the Exiles. Now the Hiigarans face a new and bitter enemy, a renegade clan from the eastern fringes of the galaxy, who wield the power of the ancients.
Homeworld 2 chronicles the valiant journey of the Mothership and its crew into the oldest regions of the galaxy to confront their new foe and discover the truth behind their exile.

AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER Harry N. Rider, Youngstown, Ohio, assignor to Automatic Sprinkler Corporation ofAmerica,
Youngstown, Ohio, a corporation of Delaware Application February 10, 1951, Serial No. 210,327
7 claims. (01.16940) This invention relates to an improved form of automatic sprinkler and more particularly to an automatic sprinkler for iire extinguishing sysvision of an automatic sprinkler all of the parts of which, with the exception of the fusible element, are self-contained and therefore capable of being mounted in flush position with a ceiling whereby the sprinkler is rendered inconspicuous.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of an automatic sprinklerof the concealed or flush type which may be eiiiciently mass produced, easily installed and which will meet the requirements of the Underwriters Laboratories. Y
The improved form of automatic sprinkler disclosed herein has become increasingly popular due to the desire of various business establishments and the like to provide their premises with eflicient automatic sprinkler systems and at the same time avoid the usual open distributing piping and automatic sprinklers positioned at intervals thereon. The current tendency in the reconstruction of various business places, new buildings and the like is to provide a distributing piping of the automatic sprinkler system inconcealed position above the visible ceiling and to provide sprinklers spaced in the usual manner in depending position beneath the ceiling, each of the sprinklers being in communication with the distributing piping. r
Several types of dependent automatic sprinklers have been utili'ed most of which resemble the ordinary form of automatic sprinkler in that the kframe of the sprinkler, the fusible element and the water deflecting portions .thereof are positioned in dependent relation to the ceiling lsurface and are therefore readily visible. The present invention relates to an automatic sprinkler possessing the desirable operating characteristics of an ordinary `sprinkler of either the upright or dependent type but so formed that it'may be almost completely hidden in the ceiling withljnly the .fusible element and :levers holding.
2` the same projecting below the ceiling. The sprinkler is therefore rendered most inconspicuous and meets the requirements above mentioned.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being the intention to cover all changes and modications of the example of the invention herein chosen for purposes of the disclosure, which do not constitute departures from the spirit and scope of the invention. 4
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is an` elevation in vertical section showing the improved automatic sprinkler installed in relation to a ceiling.
Figure 2 is .a bottom View with parts broken away of the sprinkler shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an elevation in ross section showing the automatic sprinkler in operating condition.
Figure 4 is a horizontal section taken on line 4 4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is an elevation in cross section showing the automatic sprinkler in fully open water discharging position and turned degrees with ,respect to the elevation of Figure 1.
Figure 6 is a plan View of the valve and cap assembly shown in Figures l, 3 and 5 of the drawings.
Figure 7 is a vertical Vsection of the cap shown in Figure 6. i
Figure 8 is a top plan view of the cap shown in Figures 6 and 7 of the drawings.
By referring to the drawings and Figures 1 and 2 in particular it will be seen that an improved automatic sprinkler has been disclosed which is illustrated as being mounted in an opening in a ceiling I0 and in communication with a distributing pipe I I ofan automatic sprinkler system. The improved automatic sprinkler comprises a cylindrical body member I2 having a partition I3 formed inwardly from its ends, the lowr surface of the partition I3 having a depending annular valve seat It integrally formed therewith. The center section of the partition I3 is cut away to form an opening I'5 of substantially the same area as that deiined by the depending annular valve seat I4 and in vertical Yalignment therewith. i t
The area within the cylindrical body member I2 and beneath the partition I3 forms a chamber I6 and the area above the partition I3 forms a smaller chamber I'I which is internally threaded as at I8 so that the sprinkler may be secured thereby to the distributing piping I I of the automatic sprinkler system which is not otherwise shown. The exterior of the cylindrical body member I2 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced lugs I9 to facilitate the application thereof to the distributing piping II. The lowermost portion of the exterior of the cylindrical body member I2 is threaded as at 2B to receive an adjusting ring 2I which is I -shaped in cross section, a horizontal portion of which extends inwardly of the cylindrical body member I2 and forms an annular shoulder 22.
The exterior of the ring ZI is threaded and is adapted to receive a circular flange 23, the peripheral edge of which is upturned as at 24 and which forms a closure with respect to the ceiling I0. Several circumferentially spaced openings 25 are provided in the ring 2| so that it may be rotated to adjust it vertically with respect to the cylindrical body I2 of the automatic sprinkler and one of the openings 25 is adapted to receive a pin 25 as shown in Figure 1 of the drawings which locks the ring 2| in Yadjusted position on the cylindrical body member I2 as will be hereinafter described. The ring 2I and more particularly the shoulder 22 thereon provides means for engaging a pair of oppositely disposed levers 21--21 on the automatic sprinkler. The uppermost ends of the levers 21-21 have outwardly extending flattened surfaces or bills 28-28. The levers 21--21 are provided with notches 23 29 on their opposite lower sides for engagement with a two-part fusible element 3D as known in the art.
The fusible element 3D includes a pair of dat body members secured to one another by fusible solder `capable of fusing and permitting the two parts of the element 30 to separate at a predetermined temperature. The fusible element 30 is so formed that the tension normally existing between it and the levers 21--2-1 is carried upon the structural portions of the element rather than the fusible solder thereof as is also known in the art.
The upper inner sides of the levers 21-21 are provided with attened ledges 3I-3I which are adapted to seat a disc 32 and hold the same in elevatedrelation with respect thereto as shown in Figure 1 of the drawings. The disc 32 is notched at its opposite sides as at 33-33 as best shown in Figure 2 of the drawings to provide clearance for the uppermost portions of the levers 21-21 and thereby permit them to be engaged upon the annular shoulder 22 of the ring 2 I. The disc 32 is provided with an upwardly extending centrally located boss 34 which directly engages the lower portion of a body member 35 which in turn carries a disc-like deflector 36.
The upper portion of the body member 35 engages a valve member 31 which is provided with a valve cap 38, the valve member 31 and cap 38 being engaged on the annular valve seat I4 thereby forming a closure with respect to the opening I5 in the partition I3. The valve cap 33 has a wing 39 on one side thereof as may best be seen by referring to Figures 6, 7 and 8 of the drawings. It will be observed that the body member 35 has a pair of oppositely disposed, upwardly curving arms lill-30 which are integrally formed with a guide ring 4I which is reciprocally positioned in the chamber I6 of the cylindrical body member I2. The assembly comprises a yoke carrying the deflector 36.
It will thus be observed that in normally closed position the automatic sprinkler maintains the assembly and relation of parts illustrated in Figures l, 2 and 4 of the drawings and wherein the levers 21--21 and more particularly the ledges BI thereof bear upwardly against the disc 32 which in turn bears against the body member 35 and the same holds the valve member 31 and cap 3S against the annular valve seat I4 and thereby maintains the sprinkler in closed position with respect to fire extinguishing fluid in the chamber' I1. The position of the levers 21-21 is maintained by the fusible element 3i) which as heretofore explained resists the tendency of the levers 21-21 to move apart which is necessary to free the disc 32 and permit the body member 35 to move downwardly and Iaway from the valve 31 and cap 38.
In Figure 3v of the drawings the automatic y sprinkler is shown with the fusible element 3D separated as by fusing of the fusible solder thereof, the levers 21-21 having been permitted thereby to move outwardly and away from the disc 32 so as t0 free the same .and permit the Operation of the sprinkler.
In Figure 5 of the drawings the full operating position of the sprinkler is illustrated, it being observed that the parts of the fusible element 3i) have fallen clear as have the levers 21-21 and the disc 32 and the body member 35 with the deflector 36 has moved downwardly so that the guide ring 4I to which it is integrally attached has seated on the shoulder 22 on the ring 2I and the valve member 31 and cap 33 have also fallen clear of the device. The valve cap 38 is formed with the wing 39 so that it will be forcibly moved to one side of the body member 35 by the fire extinguishing fluid and its falling clear of the sprinkler assembly thereby insured.
It will be observed that in full operating position the deflector 36 is spaced well below the surface of the ceiling I0 and that a stream of fire extinguishing fluid is directed downwardly thereagainst from the opening I5 and the annular valve seat I4 where it is deflected in the desired pattern to cover the required area. The deflector 35 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced slots d2 as may best be seen by referring to Figure 4 of the drawings and it will be seen that these improve the pattern of discharge of the iire extinguishing fluid. The arms di! on the body member 35 are tapered upwardly in cross section so that they oifer little or no resistance to the ow of flre extinguishing fluid downwardly thereover and at the same time they enable the seating of the annular ring 4I on their outermost ends to positively and securely locate the deflector 33 upon the flange 22 with respect to the lower portion of the automatic sprinkler.
It will Ibe observed that the desired tension for seating the sprinkler in closed position is readily obtained by the vertical adjustment of the ring 2 I prior to the insertion-of the pin 26. The levers 21-21 and the fusible element 3i)l are assembled with the disc 32 and the body member 35, valve member 31 and cap 38 in position as shown in Figure 1 and the ring threaded to move the shoulder 22 thereon upwardly until the desired tension is obtained. The pin 2S is then applied to lock the assembly and the device may then beinstalled on the distributing piping II of the sprinkler system without further adjustment.
It will be observed by those skilled in the art that differences in height between the ceiling level and the level of the horizontal distributing piping of the sprinkler system (not shown)l may be readily-accommodated by varying the length of the vertical section of the distributing piping Il which would ordinarily 'comprise a nipple or short section of pipe. This fitting and the application of the annular ange 23 are the only operations required in the eld installation and it will therefore be seen to meet the several objects of the invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
1."In an automatic sprinkler, the combination of a cylindrical casing open at its lower end and having a partition inwardly ofits ends formed -with a discharge opening, means at the upper" end of,` said cylindrical casingr for attaching the same in depending position in a sprinkler system; a yoke normally in a retracted position within the casing and having a ring reciprocally positioned in said cylindrical casing beneath said partition and normallyin a raised position remote from the normally open lower end of the cylindrical casing and a pair of arms formed on and'extending downwardly from said ring and at their lowermost ends joined to sideportions of a vertically disposed body member, a deflector secured to said body member beneath said arms and disposed within the casing when the ring is in its raised position and assuming a position below the casing when the yoke is in an extended position, a valve member resting upon the upper `end of said body member and normally held thereby in closing relation to the discharge opening, a disc loosely positioned in the open lower end of the cylindrical casing and engaging the lower end of said body member for supporting the yoke, a vertically adjustable support carried by the lower endof said cylindrical casing andvhaving a portion disposed in "position for engaging and limiting downward movement of said ring and thereby supporting the yoke in the extended position, a pair of oppositely disposed levers releasably suspended from said support and having portions normally fitting under said disc in supporting engagement therewith, and a fusible element inter-connecting lower portions of said levers and holding the same in engagement with the support, said disc being normally urged upwardly by said levers and thereby pressing the valve member upwardly to its closed position.

Fifth Illinois County Supports 'Fracking' MoratoriumVIENNA, Ill. (AP) - The Johnson County Board of Commissioners has passed a resolution supporting a statewide moratorium on high-volume oil and gas drilling.
Board Chairman Jeff Mears says commissioners voted 2-1 on Monday to support a one-year pause before hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," begins. He says residents need more time to learn about it and county officials want to prepare for the affect infrastructure, such as roads.
Officials in Hardin, Jackson, Pope and Union also support a moratorium.
Bills calling for a 2-year moratorium have stalled in the House and Senate. Another bill to regulate fracking has received widespread lawmaker support.
Fracking uses high-pressure mixtures of water, sand or gravel and chemicals to crack rock formations and release oil and natural gas. Supporters say it'll create thousands of jobs. Opponents worry about pollution.

What will drive growth? This recovery could turn out to be a flash in the pan
It is now 66 months since the start of the recession and GDP is still 2.9 per cent down
I have to say I am rather surprised that the latest economic data have been so strong. Maybe Mark Carney really is a magician and everything he touches turns to gold. At long last, four years of interest rates at 0.5 per cent and £375bn of asset purchases by the MPC have started to have an effect on the real economy. There has been good news from the Purchasing Managers' Indices (PMIs) for manufacturing, services and construction, which are a pretty good indicator of growth to come. But the employment balance in services fell for a second successive month, from 53.6 to 50.6.
A slowdown in employment growth was also evident in the manufacturing and construction surveys. This suggests that firms are meeting the upsurge in demand from existing employees rather than by taking on extra workers, which is entirely consistent with my work on underemployment with David Bell of the University of Stirling, which showed enormous pent-up demand for workers for more hours. This suggests that, at long last, productivity is rising.
Growth in the UK is likely to be closely linked to growth in the US. All eyes are now on the Federal Reserve and whether it starts tapering its $85bn-a-month programme of QE. The latest jobs data made the picture even murkier with fewer jobs created in August than expected, downward revisions to past employment numbers and a fall of 0.2 per cent in the participation rate even though the unemployment rate fell to 7.3 per cent. The big downside risk at the Fed's meeting on September 17-18 is whether Congress is going to extend the debt limit alongside the rise in bond yields. That represents monetary tightening, and may mean the Fed will not move until the next meeting at the end of October or even later.
But it still remains hard for me to see which of the four components of growth – consumption, investment, trade and government – is going to drive growth down the road. The concern is that this is a chimera – just a flash in the pan. The latest trade data were poor so the question is whether growth will continue, or perhaps it was driven by the good weather, and the storm clouds of recession are now on the horizon. Aggregate business lending is still falling as more companies pay back loans than gain access to new credit.
Small firms in particular are still struggling to obtain finance. Consumption is being driven by dissaving, which can't go on for that long. As a percentage of household post-tax income the saving ratio fell to 4.2 per cent in the first quarter from 5.9 per cent in the previous quarter. The OECD has upped its forecast for the UK to 1.5 per cent growth in 2013, but below the 1.6 per cent it forecasts for Japan and the 1.7 per cent for the US. But the chart, courtesy of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, allows us to put this in context. It is now 66 months since the start of the recession in 2008, and UK GDP is still 2.9 per cent below its starting level.
In contrast to the UK, many advanced countries are well above their Q1 2008 starting levels of output, including the USA (+4.5 per cent) and Germany (+3.4 per cent). The UK's dreadful growth performance contrasts with the recessions of 1920-24 and 1930-34 when GDP was nearly 7 per cent higher after the same time period. The recession of 1979-1983 saw GDP growth of 5 per cent within five-and-a-half years. Growth has been lower in the UK since Q4 2010 than in Canada, France, Germany or the US.
It also hasn't all been good news. August saw the British Retail Consortium's measure of annual retail sales growth slowed from 2.2 per cent to 1.8 per cent. Plus there is still no evidence that business lending to small firms has started to pick up yet. There is every prospect that such growth as we have seen has occurred south of the Watford Gap.
Pay growth remains extremely weak. Pay deals have been in the range of 2-2.5 per cent and annual growth of earnings fell from 1.8 per cent to 0.6 per cent in June. The National Statistic Average Weekly Earnings was £473 in June 2013, exactly the same as in August 2012 and up only 1.7 per cent from its level in June 2011.
Average earnings have fallen in real terms by almost £1,500 a year, or £28 a week, since 2010. New mum Rachel Reeves, shadow chief secretary to the Treasury last week highlighted new figures showing that almost 60 per cent of jobs created since spring 2010 have been in lower-paid sectors such as retail and residential care, where median hourly pay is less than a quarter of the national hourly median.
This contrasts with the record of the last Labour government, under which such jobs made up about 25 per cent of new jobs between 1997 and 2010. It is hard to see how consumption is going to drive growth in the economy if real earnings continue to fall.
There are major regional differences in unemployment rates, with a high of 10.3 per cent in the North East and 9.9 per cent in the West Midlands compared with 6 per cent in the South East and South West. The Nationwide house price index shows that prices are nationally 11 per cent below their peak compared with 15 per cent discussed in last week's column.
Of interest also are differences by region, with prices down by more than half in Northern Ireland and 16 per cent and 15 per cent in the North West, North and Yorkshire and Humberside. The 2013 rise in prices shows considerable variation by area, with growth close to 4 per cent in the South and below 1 per cent outside England and in the North.
In reality, emphasizing the importance of a one-size-fits-all monetary policy means the government has no regional policy. Indeed, in a written statement last September, Eric Pickles said: "The coalition government has abolished regional government".
There is also evidence that homelessness in the UK is on the rise. The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics shows a rise of 5 per cent between April and June 2013 compared with the same quarter a year ago. The biggest increases have been in Barking & Dagenham, Newham and Waltham Forest. So regional differences matter. Maybe I was wrong and Osborne really is an economic genius, but I doubt it.

Japanese artist Yuri Suzuki's fully functional soundsystem is made from all the beer you drank at the last Notting Hill Carnival.
Published: 16/11/11
This is quite interesting – a sound-system designer by Japanese artist Yuri Suzuki made out of Jamaica's most famous beer cans, harvested from the Notting Hill Carnival. There's some blink-and-you'll-miss-it product placement, but in any case it's a fascinating example of human resourcefulness and the power of multicultural London's ability to drink lager. Ben UFO, MC Chunky, Al Fingers and Spencer will be playing though the soundsystem tonight at London's Village Underground, if you want to hear the tinny sound.

The deal was brokered by Dreams' media agency Starcom. Dreams sponsored 'Celebrity Big Brother' in 2009 and 2010, when the show was screened by Channel 4, but this is the first time it has sponsored the show on Channel 5.
Contestants in this year's show include 'The X Factor' contender Rylan Clarke, while according to media speculation, 'Neighbours' actor Ryan Moloney and jockey Frankie Dettori are also likely to feature.
Last year's 'Celebrity Big Brother' was sponsored by broadband provider Plusnet and Denise Welch's victory in the final recorded a peak audience of 3.8 million viewers.
Nick Bampton, Channel 5 commercial sales director said: "Our ambition in 2013 is for Channel 5 to continue developing and innovating the most creative and commercial partnerships on TV.
"We are therefore delighted to kick off the year with news that Dreams will be sponsoring 'Celebrity Big Brother', the show which last January reached more young adults than any other programme on commercial TV."
Debbie Godfrey, media controller at Dreams, said: "We are delighted to be associated with a show of this scale – it is the perfect vehicle in enabling Dreams to dominate the media landscape and raise awareness of the brand, particularly during our critical sales period."

Ben Stokes: 'Punching lockers isn't way forward'
The all-rounder has been hailed as future star after Ashes debut but incident in Caribbean added to doubts about discipline. Jon Culley meets a man looking to control his emotions
Thursday 17 April 2014
As an all-rounder with a competitive nature and an aggressive streak, Ben Stokes has been likened to Ian Botham as a young man and been tipped for a future decorated with similar levels of success as one of English cricket's all-time greats.
But just as Botham's colourful career meant his reputation on the field eventually came with baggage picked up off it, Stokes is at risk of seeing his shining talent acquire an unwelcome tarnish.
It is a danger of which he is well aware after the moment of dressing-room red mist that marred his first full winter as a senior England player, one that included his maiden Test century in only his second appearance.
The self-inflicted broken wrist that cut his involvement short on the eve of the World Twenty20, followed the shame he suffered the previous winter, when breaches of discipline led to him being sent home early from an England Lions tour of Australia.
The two incidents have led to suggestions that far from succeeding Botham as an all-conquering superhero, Stokes could find himself compared, for all the wrong reasons, with Kevin Pietersen as a player left in the wilderness for non-cricketing reasons.
After fracturing the scaphoid bone in his right wrist when, out of frustration at his first-ball dismissal, he punched a dressing-room locker at the end of England's Twenty20 series in the West Indies, he has discussed anger management with England's in-house sports psychologist, Dr Mark Bawden.
"I'm very passionate about what I do and get quite emotional when things don't go well but on that occasion, it came out in a way that I regret," Stokes said, speaking at the launch in Birmingham of the new NatWest T20 Blast competition, due to start in May.
"I never want to stop it on the field, I definitely don't want to lose that edge to my game. But I just hope never again to show that kind of emotion off the field that results in an injury."
He admitted it was not even the first time it had happened. "I did it once before, when I was a lot younger and I broke a bone then as well," he said. "It was back in my club cricket days. On that occasion it was a fire door rather than a locker."

Stokes, only 22 but in a settled relationship with his partner Clare and has an 18-month-old son, Layton, to keep him grounded, thought at first he might have escaped with some heavy bruising in Barbados but x-rays revealed otherwise. Once the break was confirmed, he was quick to express his regret.
"The management were obviously disappointed and I let them know that I was disappointed with myself," he said. "I spoke to the team before I left and said I was sorry for letting them down. Gilo [Ashley Giles, England's one-day coach] did not really tell me off, he didn't have to. I'd already told myself off in harsher words than anything he could have said."
He had been on the sharp end, too, of his father's tongue when he phoned the family home in New Zealand with his red-faced confession. Ged Stokes, nowadays a prison warder, had taken work as a rugby league coach in Cumbria when young Ben, who was born in Christchurch, arrived in England as a 12-year-old.
"He called me a wally, basically," Stokes said. "He wasn't best pleased." It is the fear that he might acquire another unwelcome label that made him willing to listen to Dr Bawden's advice.
"I hope I haven't given anyone an opportunity yet to say you are not going to play for reasons other than cricket," he said. "But I have to make sure I'm on top of this thing. Attitude was a big thing in the way I was brought up by my old man.
"I have talked with the England psychologist. You let out things to him that you wouldn't tell someone on the street and he gives you a different take on how to handle things. Anything to stop me doing what I did must be good.
"It is just a matter of becoming more mature. I don't think punching lockers is the way forward, there is only going to be one winner there. Next time I look at a locker I'll know what it did to me. As I said before, it is on the pitch where I should be showing my emotions."
He confesses he had to suppress his personal joy when he pulled the Australian left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Johnson, England's destroyer-in-chief, to bring up his century in the second Test in Perth with his 16th boundary. "It seemed weird because I couldn't really express my emotions as I wanted to because of the game situation," he said. "Being out there, 22 when it happened, opened your eyes to the highest level of the sport that you want to be doing.
"But I'd rather have come back an Ashes winner than just had success on a personal level. You perform as an individual but you'd rather be on a winning side. Nice to walk away remembering the personal things I achieved but it would have been better if we had won as a team.
"What happened in Barbados put a dampener on that but I was more gutted about missing out on my first World T20, to be honest.
Stokes was set to form a significant part of the restructuting of the England team in the wake of the Ashes debacle and the resignation of coach Andy Flower. "I didn't want to be having this time off at this stage of the season," he said. "I haven't ruled myself out of the one-dayers but it is just a matter of time and patience, seeing how it feels and when I can get back in the nets.
"With the next Test coming up in June it would be nice to get on the field and get some cricket under my belt. But now I've just got to take it in my stride and get back as quickly as I can."

Since then, it's expanded to myriad practices across the country—including this one in Toms River. Helmed by Drs. Randy Nissinoff and Michael Iuliano, the practice outfits eyes with face-flattering designer frames and sunglasses, all with prescription lenses. Each pair comes with 30 days of no-questions returns and a lifetime of free fit adjustments. For extra convenience, the practice also stays open until 8 p.m. on weekdays, so visitors can pop in after work.1278 Hooper AveToms River, NJ US
