Obama Far Outdoes Bush in Escalating War -- The Numbers Will Surprise You
Continued from previous page
And much like the staggering giveaway to the economic elite in the Wall Street banker bailout, no one is really sure where a significant percentage of this money is actually going. On September 10, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld announced that $2.3 trillion in military spending was unaccounted for. As CBS News reported: "$2.3 trillion - that's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America."
At that time, Pentagon auditors admitted that they couldn't account for a staggering 25% of all military spending. And the budget has exploded since then, with fewer people accounting for where this money is going.
Once again, just like the $23.7 trillion that went into propping up the Wall Street elite - which totals $80,000 for every American - you have trillions more in taxpayer money vanishing and very few regulating and accounting for it.
Other than this staggering loss of taxpayer money, any serious economist will tell you "that military spending increases unemployment and decreases economic growth."
Economists Joseph E. Stiglitz and Linda J. Bilmes, in their book "The Three Trillion Dollar War," report that military spending on the war in Iraq has created over a trillion dollars in loses to the US economy.
On top of all the looting of taxpayer money that is occurring, "several powerful House committee chairmen have proposed a surtax on Americans to pay the future military costs."
With the country already operating at a record $12 trillion deficit, members of congress don't know how we can afford increasing an already huge war expenditure.
Weapons Sales
In this struggling economy, weapon sales have become one of America's most booming businesses. US weapon sales have hit a record level under the Obama administration. Foreign Policy In Focus reports:
"In fiscal year 2008, the foreign military sales program sold $36 billion in weapons and defense articles, an increase of more than 50% over 2007. Sales for the first half of 2009 reached $27 billion, and could top out at $40 billion by the end of the year. In contrast, through the early 2000s, arms sales averaged between $8-13 billion per year….
But last year, the United States sold arms or military services to well over 100 nations….
… the majority of U.S. arms sales to the developing world went to countries that our own State Department defined as undemocratic regimes and/or major human rights abusers. And over two-thirds of the world's active conflicts involved weapons that had been supplied by the United States."
Selling all these weapons, especially during the biggest global financial crisis, will lead to one thing… terrorism.
Given these statistics, it shouldn't be a surprise to hear how US taxpayer dollars are still funding the Taliban. Prior to the 9/11 attacks, the Taliban government was funded by the US taxpayer. In fact, the Taliban still receives a significant portion of their funding courtesy of the US taxpayer. As The Nation recently reported: "It is an accepted fact of the military logistics operation in Afghanistan that the US government funds the very forces American troops are fighting. And it is a deadly irony, because these funds add up to a huge amount of money for the Taliban. "It's a big part of their income,' one of the top Afghan government security officials told The Nation in an interview. In fact, US military officials in Kabul estimate that a minimum of 10 percent of the Pentagon's logistics contracts–hundreds of millions of dollars–consists of payments to insurgents."
As former CIA Station Chief John Stockwell explained: "Enemies are necessary for the wheels of the US military machine to turn."

N. Korea denies link to Libya oil ship
The Brega refinery and oil terminal is pictured at night on March 11, 2014, in the Gulf of Sidra along the Mediterranean coast line - by Abdullah Doma
The ship was operated by an Egypt-based company which was "allowed to temporarily use the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) flag" under a contract with Pyongyang, state news agency KCNA reported.
On Tuesday, the tanker Morning Glory which had taken on a cargo of oil from Al-Sidra terminal evaded Libyan naval vessels deployed to intercept it and escaped to sea.
It was reported to have loaded at least 234,000 barrels of crude.
"Right after being informed of the fact by the Libyan side, the DPRK accused the company of violating the contract and demanded it let the ship leave the port at once without loading oil," said a spokesman for North Korea's Maritime Administration, quoted by KCNA.
He said Pyongyang had "cancelled and deleted the ship's DPRK registry... as the ship violated the DPRK's law on the registry of ships and the contract that prohibited it from transporting contraband cargo".
"Therefore, the ship has nothing to do with the DPRK at present and it has no responsibility whatsoever as regards the ship," he said.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, left, and Mississippi State University President Mark Keenum, participated in an energy summit on the campus Wednesday. Photo by: Micah Green/Dispatch Staff
October 4, 2012 11:00:54 AM
Gov. Phil Bryant labeled the Wednesday event as an opportunity to reach out to the future workforce.
Mississippi State hosted "Powering Mississippi in the 21st Century," on Wednesday, and Foster Ballroom in the Colvard Student Union was nearly full during the program, most of the seats occupied by students.
The student crowd was not limited to MSU students, either, with a large turnout from Starkville High School and the Mississippi School for Math and Sciences on hand.
The students heard from a panel that presented different aspects of the energy industry and consisted of Bryant, Richard Mills of Tellus Operating Group CEO; Stephen Johnston , president of Itron Cellular Solutions; Bob Balzar, TVA vice president of energy efficiency and Haley Fisackerly, president/CEO of Entergy Mississippi.
During a press conference prior to the program, Bryant, who was recently elected to chair the Southern States Energy Board, said Mississippi is in a spot that could play a key role in helping America's dependence on foreign oil.
"Mississippi leads the nation in (carbon dioxide) and enhanced oil recovery so the opportunities still remain for hyper carbon fuels for the next 50 years, Shell Gas has changed that dynamic," Bryant said. "In 2011 the Fraiser Institute said we were the best state in the world to invest in the oil and gas industry. Mississippi State students will be apart of that."
Bryant pointed to Severstal as an example of how the state's attractiveness is paying off.
"We would have never had the opportunity to bring in Severstal if the cost per kilowatt hour did not factor into that design," he said. "It was remarkably low. We just have to keep bringing companies here that might invest in our universities."
The Governor admitted that he knew Mississippi was ranked by the Amercian Council for an Energy Efficient Economy as the state that needs the most improvements in energy efficiency.
"They are absolutely right," he said. "We do more driving per capita than anyone. We need to work harder at conservation and sustainability, not only in the public sector, but a simple conservation of looking at our government buildings and trying to determine how we might smart-meter those."

Johnson's three interceptions lead Alabama over LSU
Steve Muench's weekly matchup report looks at the performance of Alabama safety Rashad Johnson in his team's overtime win at LSU.
Originally Published: November 11, 2008By Steve Muench | Scouts Inc.
For NFL teams, hitting or missing on a draft pick can be the difference between making the playoffs and playing golf in January, so it should come as no surprise that scouts leave no stone unturned when evaluating players' skill sets. It's a grueling process that involves seemingly endless film sessions, but there are games that can make scouts sit up and pay particular attention.These are the games that feature a prospect who's lining up against one of the best units or players in the nation and/or playing in a game with substantial implications for his team. Here are five such matchups that caught my eye in Week 10 and what I took from the film of each performance, as well as notes on contributions from younger players:
Steve Muench breaks down the film from Week 11 in college football and examines the NFL draft implications. Insider
• Florida WR Harvin shreds Vanderbilt
• Pittsburgh QB Stull efficient
• Ohio State WR Robiskie impressive
• Freshman and sophomore standouts
Johnson intercepted three of Lee's passes in Alabama's 27-21 overtime win against LSU, returning one of them 54 yards for a touchdown. Johnson's first pick comes on third-and-7 with the ball on the Tigers' 13-yard line in the first quarter. The Crimson Tide bluff blitz and then drop eight men into coverage after the snap. Lee tries to thread the ball between three defenders to WR Demetrius Byrd on a slant, but the ball is behind Byrd and MLB Rolando McCain hits him before he can bring the ball in. Meanwhile, Johnson has dropped into a Cover 2 look and quickly closes on Byrd when the ball is released, putting himself in position to make the pay when the ball pops into the air. The second interception happens on third-and-8 in the second quarter with the ball at the LSU 36-yard line. Alabama rushes five this time, with CB Javier Arenas blitzing off the left edge of the offensive formation. That blitz creates space over the middle and single coverage for Tigers WR Terrance Toliver against Tide SS Justin Woodall. Toliver takes advantage by running a slant and beats Woodall to the inside, and while Lee makes the proper read, the ball sails on him. Johnson reads Lee's eyes from his center-fielder role in Cover 1, makes a relatively easy catch and follows his blocks into the end zone to tie the score at 14. Johnson's third interception comes on third-and-6 during LSU's only possession of overtime. WR Brandon LaFell lines up in the right slot opposite Arenas, and at the snap Lee rolls right. Johnson sprints in the same direction in order to provide Arenas with help over the top. Lee either fails to see Johnson rolling over the top or thinks he can drop the ball between the two defenders, and makes the poor decision to throw the ball in LaFell's direction. Johnson does a good job of staying deeper than LaFell and catches the ball in the corner of the end zone, setting up the game-winning possession for Alabama.
Steve Muench has evaluated both NFL and college players for Scouts Inc. since 2002.

Peter Hall
Biography of Peter Hall
Hall is Australian born, but calls Scotland home. He is a poet, a songwriter, musician, accountant, pastor, follower of Jesus Christ, son, husband, father, sports lover and coffee drinker.
Hall says 'poetry is about communicating 'what is' and 'what could be', or 'what should be' '.
Hall's poetry influences are from a 'melting pot' of Australian and British cultures and writers. Being Australian born, his early work was influenced by the Australian 'bush poets'; Henry Lawson and 'Banjo' Paterson. Hence the rhythmic nature of his early poetry. However, since relocating to Scotland, his work moved away from the 'bush poetry' style to the 'free-verse' style of the British poets such as Seamus Heaney and Highland poet; Sorley Maclean.
However, most of his content is based on his work as a Prison Chaplain and Pastor. If it's not a Spiritual poem, his work reflects his landscape he finds himself in.

Driving Quality, Lowering Costs 2014October 8 - 9, 2014
Westin Bayshore, Vancouver, BC
Do your clinicians know your financial analysts? They should.
In the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's (IHI's) Impacting Cost + Quality initiative, IHI worked intensely for over two years with 60 health care organizations to drive out waste, reduce operating expenses, and improve quality. IHI learned that there are several key drivers to successfully reducing operating expenses while maintaining or improving quality. These include: aligning efforts top-to-bottom and bottom-up, establishing working partnerships between clinical and financial teams, harvesting ideas from front-line staff, and viewing waste as an opportunity to improve systems.
CFHI is hosting IHI's Driving Quality, Lowering Costs workshop seminar October 8-9 at the Westin Bayshore Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia to help you get on the same track. This workshop is a synthesized, fast-paced version of IHI's two-and-a-half year initiative that has been adapted by CFHI and IHI for the Canadian context in partnership with BC Patient and Safety Quality Council and the Health Quality Council of Saskatchewan. Now, you will learn in two days the proven strategies, tools, and best practices to save money and drive quality from more than two and a half years of IHI's in-depth initiative.

In tribute to the vacuum-sealed lid Apple keeps on scuttlebutt about upcoming products, US pundits have been reduced to quoting a story printed in Mandarin by the China Times saying that Taiwan companies are making a 9.7-inch diagonal touchscreen netbook for Apple to sell this October for a speculative $800 to avoid competing with the cheaper netbooks.
Steve Jobs has said he didn't know how to make a $500 computer that wasn't a piece of crap. He didn't say anything about an $800 widget.
US bloggers, who have recycled previous rumors of such a device, say it's a tablet and Venture Beat claims the chip will be one of Apple's own, concocted by PA Semi, the low-power chip start-up it acquired last year.
It says it heard "PA Semi's team was split into two parts, one designing portable ARM-based processors for iPhones and iPods, and another designing a processor for the tablet device." There's debate about the timing but no speculation at all about the operating system.
Earlier reports had it coming out next year.

About to be laid off? Here's how to cope
These days it's hard not to to feel some concern about the future of your career, but practical measures will see you through the worst times
- Image Credit: Gulf News Archive
- In the process of looking for other permanent employment, you should also work on strengthening your network of professional connections.
If your worst fears come true and you are about to be made redundant and you have no other job on the horizon, then focus on negotiating the most generous severance package that you can get.
Since so many industries are suffering, your employer ought to understand why a seasoned professional would want extra help during this transition.
Then again, the financial situation that necessitates your layoff might prevent your employer from paying you the severance you deserve.
Hence, in addition to a reasonable financial figure, you should think about in-kind benefits that could assist you in the pursuit of your next job.
For example, it is not unusual to include a certain number of hours of outplacement assistance and the continued use of the company laptop as terms in a separation agreement.
If you do not feel confident asking for concessions, or if you have questions about what is reasonable to expect, you should consult an employment specialist.
Be persistent
You should remain diligent in the pursuit of other employment opportunities and explore ways to expand your search without abandoning your field altogether.
Cast a wider net to encompass positions that interface with your present role.
A marketing manager, for example, might consider applying for jobs in sales support or product development, both of which rely on marketing expertise.
In the process of looking for other permanent employment, you should also work on strengthening your network of professional connections.
This can help you to get a job or, at the very least, yield freelance assignments to tide you and your family over.
CV savvy
If you find yourself having to work in retail to make ends meet during your job search, all is not lost. However, do not include this in your resume.
Although odd jobs can add colour and dimension to a cv, you should really only be listing jobs that relate to your professional objectives.
This is why you need to find some way to remain connected to your industry.
Even if you do just a little bit of freelance work, it will allow you to avoid the dreaded time gap.
If you are unable to find freelance work and end up with a gap in employment of more than a few weeks, you can use the cover letter to explain that this was a transition period following a layoff.

Fruit juice should NOT count in our five-a-day because some versions 'contain as much sugar as fizzy drinks'
- Juice is potentially 'just as bad' as sugary, sweetened drinks, say doctors
- 250ml of apple juice typically contains 110 calories and 26g of sugar
- 250ml of cola typically contains 105 calories and 26.5g of sugar
- People who drank 500ml of grape juice every day for three months had increased insulin resistance and a larger waist circumference
- Experts say the recommended amount should be no more than 150ml a day
Dangerous: Many of us have no idea that fruit juice can be as sugary as cola
Fruit juice should not be classed as one of our five-a-day because some versions contain almost as much sugar as fizzy drinks, scientists have warned.
Researchers from Glasgow University say that drinking fruit juice is potentially 'just as bad for you' as sugary, sweetened drinks.
They have asked the UK government to change its guidelines and have also recommended that labels should be placed on fruit juice containers telling people not to drink more than 150ml (¼pt) a day.
A 250ml serving of orange juice contains 115 calories - and many people drink more than this, with many 500ml servings available in high street cafes.
Even pure fruit juice is said to contain a large amount of naturally-occurring sugar – but people end up drinking too much of it because they do not see it as unhealthy.
Professor Naveed Sattar and Dr Jason Gill, from the university's Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences, say viewing juice as a fruit equivalent was 'probably counter-productive' as it 'fuels the perception that drinking fruit juice is good for health'.
Writing in The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology journal, Professor Sattar, professor of metabolic medicine, and Dr Gill identified a possible link between high fruit juice intake and an increased risk of diabetes.
The researchers believe cutting fruit juice intake could have 'major health benefits' such as a fall in obesity and heart problems.
They conducted a trial which concluded that drinking 500ml of grape juice per day for three months increased insulin resistance – which can lead to Type 2 diabetes – as well as the waist circumference in overweight adults.
Although fruit juices do contain vitamins and minerals, which sugar-sweetened drinks do not, Dr Gill argued that this 'might not be sufficient to offset the adverse metabolic consequences of excessive fruit juice consumption'.
Fruit juice has a similar energy
density and sugar content to other sugary drinks.
For example, 250ml (almost ½pt) of apple juice typically contains 110 calories and 26g (0.91oz) of sugar.
250ml of cola typically contains 105 calories and 26.5g (0.93oz) of sugar.
An apple, on the other hand, contains around 50 calories - and you get the benefit of fibre, creating a feeling of fullness and aiding digestion.
The research also highlighted that a glass of fruit juice contains 'substantially' more sugar than a piece of fruit, and that much of the 'goodness' in fruit, such as fibre, is often not found in fruit juice.
In a test measuring public awareness of sugar content, 48 per cent of those who took the poll underestimated the sugar content of fruit juices and smoothies, while 12 per cent overestimated the sugar content of carbonated drinks.
More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey, in which they were shown pictures of full containers of different non-alcoholic drinks and were asked to estimate the number of teaspoons of sugar in each.
While there have been calls to ban children from drinking fruit juice in the US, the researchers did not recommend this for the UK, and also stated that a fruit juice tax should not be introduced.
Dr Gill said that despite popular belief, fruit juices are not as healthy as they seem.
He added: 'Contrary to the general perception of the public, and of many healthcare professionals, that drinking fruit juice is a positive health behaviour, their consumption might not be substantially different in health terms than drinking other sugary drinks.'
Professor Sattar said: 'Fruit juice has a similar energy density and sugar content to other sugary drinks. For example, 250ml (almost ½pt) of apple juice typically contains 110 calories and 26g (0.91oz) of sugar; and 250ml of cola typically contains 105 calories and 26.5g (0.93oz) of sugar.'
Warning: The researchers believe cutting fruit juice intake could have 'major health benefits' such as a fall in obesity and heart problems. They add that eating fruit whole is a healthier alternative
An apple, on the other hand, contains around 50 calories - and you get the benefit of fibre, creating a feeling of fullness and aiding digestion.
Professor Sattar added: 'Additionally, by contrast with the evidence for solid fruit intake, for which high consumption is generally associated with reduced or neutral risk of diabetes, current evidence suggests high fruit juice intake is associated with increased risk of diabetes.
'We have known for years about the dangers of excess saturated fat intake, an observation which led the food industry to replace unhealthy fats with presumed "healthier" sugars in many food products.
'Helping individuals cut not only their excessive fat intake, but also refined sugar intake, could have major health benefits including lessening obesity and heart attacks.
'There needs to be a refocus to develop foods which not only limit saturated fat intake but simultaneously limit refined sugar content.'
Limit: Experts say the recommended amount of fruit juice should be no more than 150ml a day
He added: 'In the broader context of public health policy, it is important that debate about sugar-sweetened beverage reduction should include fruit juice.'
Commenting on the research, Gavin Partington, Director General of the British Soft Drinks Assocation, said: 'The majority of adults and children in the UK do not meet the minimum recommendation of 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
'Fruit juice does contain naturally occurring sugar, but also provides essential vitamins and nutrients which is why Government has recommended that it can count as one of your 5 a day.
'It's worth remembering that fruit juice accounts for just 1 per cent of the calories in the average British diet but like all food and drink it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet and active lifestyle.'

Weight-Loss & Nutrition Tip
Get a good balance of protein.
A woman of average weight should get about 75 grams of protein per day and a man of average weight needs about 100 grams. To get a good balance of different types of protein, try to get about half your protein from plant sources and half from animal sources.
If you're a vegetarian, you can get your protein from a variety of plant sources, such as beans, lentils, nuts, whole grains and soy products.
Fitness Tip
Your metabolism doesn't slow with age.
As people get older they do less strength-training and can lose lean muscle mass. The more lean muscle tissue you have, the higher your metabolism – and the faster you'll lose weight. Keep your exercise and activity levels up each year, and you'll simultaneously maintain your muscle tone, keep your metabolism up and maximize healthy weight loss.

Aragones, the architect of Spain's golden era
One of the key figures in the creation of Spain's historic World Cup and double European Championship-winning team, Luis Aragones, died on Saturday at the age of 75.
Aragones was the Spain coach when La Seleccion ended a 44-year wait to win a major international tournament when they beat Germany to take the European Championship in 2008.
Despite a public clamour for him to stay on at the time, Aragones stood by his pre-tournament decision to step aside.
In his absence, Vicente del Bosque took over to lead the side to more glory at the World Cup in South Africa in 2010 before defending their European title in Poland and Ukraine two years later.
"Without doubt, he led the way in this extremely succesful era," Del Bosque told the RFEF website.
"It is a sad day for our football. We have lost a key man in the history of modern sport."
Aragones is credited with implementing the tiki-taka playing style of the Spanish side that has become world renowned.
However, he also changed the mentality of a side that, while always talented, had been pegged as perennial underachievers.
After a disappointing exit to France in the last 16 of the 2006 World Cup was followed by a shock defeat to Northern Ireland at the beginning of qualifying for the 2008 Euros, Aragones took the brave decision to drop Real Madrid's all-time leading scorer Raul from the squad.
Released from under the shadow of a man who had been a national hero, Fernando Torres and David Villa led their country to glory in Austria and Switzerland as Villa finished as the competition's top scorer, while Torres netted the winner against Germany in the final.
However, his time in charge of the national team was also blighted by an accusation of using racist language to describe French striker Thierry Henry in an attempt to motivate Henry's then Arsenal teammate Jose Antonio Reyes.
Aragones protested his innocence, claiming his words had been misinterpreted, but he was fined 3,000 euros ($4,100, �2,500) by the RFEF for the incident.
At club level he will be most fondly remembered as a legendary player and manager at Atletico Madrid.
He won three La Liga titles and two Spanish Cups during 10 years as a player with Los Colchoneros, making 370 appearances and scoring 172 goals.
Indeed, he scored the opening goal in the 1974 European Cup final against Bayern Munich, but after a late equaliser in extra time, the Germans went on to win a replay 4-0 two days later.
It was at Atletico where Aragones also began his managerial career the next season, and he led Atleti to one of the most famous wins in their history as they beat Argentine side Independiente to win the Intercontinental Cup after Bayern refused to take part in the competition.
Aragones also guided Atletico to one La Liga and three Copa del Rey titles during three spells as coach with the club in total.
The "wise man of Hortaleza" managed nine clubs in total, including a brief spell at Barcelona in the late 1980s.
His illustrious career was to end on an unfortunate note as he was sacked after just one season in charge of Fenerbahce in 2009.
However, his legacy remains intact in Spain as the man who took the first step on what has become a golden era of dominance.
As Iker Casillas, who Aragones made captain of the national team after the controversial dropping of Raul, said after his death: "His idea has, up to this day, brought us great results. We will always remember him."

Thanks to ever-improving technology, ebooks can be produced relatively quickly and economically compared to their traditional print cousins. But with the temptation to capitalize on speed and low cost, it's easy for publishers to cut corners on quality, especially when it comes to things that affect look, layout, and readability-such as proper conversion of text, images, and other elements from a print book to an ebook. And because churning out sloppy electronic copy can potentially turn off customers, content providers are worried.
May 13, 2008
Digital Asset Management (DAM) technology has made significant strides in maturity, but it remains a highly fragmented and specialized industry, where many customers are forsaking "name" players in favor of niche or hosted solutions, according to research released by CMS Watch, a vendor-independent analyst firm that evaluates content technologies. These findings were released with The Digital & Media Asset Management Report 2008, which evaluates 18 major Digital & Media Asset Management suppliers based on extensive technology research and interviews with customers across a range of industry sectors. The 275-page report also documents industry best practices, current trends in digital asset management, and common pitfalls to avoid when selecting and implementing a system.

German SPD ousts Merkel coalition in state after close-run vote
HANOVER (Reuters) - Germany's centre left ousted Angela Merkel's conservatives in Lower Saxony on Sunday after winning a state election by a tiny majority, potentially reviving the Social Democrats' (SPD) hopes of unseating the chancellor in a national vote in September.
The SPD and their Greens allies won just one more seat than Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) and their Free Democrat (FDP) allies, according to official results more than six hours after voting ended and exit polls indicated a dead heat.
The SPD and Greens won a combined 46.3 percent against 45.9 percent for the centre-right, with the FDP defying predictions they would fail to win a seat and scoring 9.9 percent - twice what they had been forecast to get.

The building is 88.7 percent leased, according to a statement from HFF, to tenants in industries such as engineering, technology, real estate, energy and health care.
The hot Energy Corridor area attracts companies in these industries, which seek to cozy up to major energy companies.
Dornin, which is shifting its focus to office from multifamily, expects to buy a handful of other Houston buildings by the end of the year, the Houston Chronicle reports. The firm previously owned buildings in the Galleria and West Loop areas.
15915 Katy Freeway is located on Interstate 10 across from Park Ten Business Park, a 550-acre mixed-use business park in Houston's Energy Corridor.
Earlier in September USAA Real Estate Co. and its investment partner, Alkhabeer Capital, acquired Park Ten Plaza. Read the details here.

Hi: 21° Lo:11°
By Connie Osborne Thursday 06 February 2014 Updated: 06/02 13:51
A MAN was arrested in Riverside on suspicion of possessing cannabis with intent to supply.
The 23-year-old was held by West Mercia Police after officers used a drugs warrant to search a house on Forge Mill Road on Wednesday (February 5).
They discovered a quantity of what is believed to be cannabis as well as scales and bags.
He was released on bail awaiting further inquiries.
In September last year, a new three-year drug strategy designed to tackle the impact of drugs on communities was launched.
Sgt Richard Field said: "Drug dealing is a high priority for us, and as part of that, we welcome all information provided by the public.
"A key component is the reduction of supply and demand achieved through the identification and dismantling of trafficking and dealer networks, and the warrant executed in Forge Mill Road is an example of this.
"We will continue to execute drugs warrants and other operations in order to disrupt the activity of drug dealers, and want to encourage people to pass on any suspicions or concerns they have."
Anyone with any information about the arrest or drug related crimes should contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Ian Poulter pulls out of Honda Classic with pneumonia
Friday 02 March 2012
Ian Poulter has pulled out of this week's Honda Classic PGA Tour event after contracting pneumonia.
Poulter, who had complained of suffering from a high temperature, was due to play with compatriot Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods in the first round.
"Sorry guys never been so disappointed in pulling out of a tournament," Poulter wrote on his Twitter account. "Never felt so rough, hope the first reserve plays well in a great group today."
Poulter was replaced by Miguel Angel Carballo, organisers said, but the Argentine could only shoot a nine-over-par 79.
Later, after being examined, Poulter tweeted: "Just been for a chest X-ray. Got Pneumonia guys, rest time for me."
American Davis Love III grabbed a two shot lead after shooting a six-under 64 in Thursday's first round.

Majority of bank clients don't pay fees

Many financial institutions are raising or adding monthly fees but 55 percent of customers say they pay nothing.
That's according to the American Bankers Association, which has conducted the national survey annually since 1998.
ABA attributed the decline to government-imposed reductions in the fees that merchants pay banks to use the payment system, which banks have relied upon to help cover the cost of providing checking accounts.
Some 10 percent of respondents said they paid $3 or less while 14 percent are charged $10 or more.
PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE:PNC), Pittsburgh's largest bank, confirmed three months ago that it was phasing out free checking by mid-2014. Analysts told me then that they expected banks to be increasingly selective about which customers would be paying for the service.
